Authors: Quito Ochoa Paola Yessenia , Bojorque Bojorque Luz María , Márquez Torres Andrea Melissa , Ortiz Freire Germania Elizabeth , Sánchez Peralta Santiago Martín 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon considered carcinogenic due to its high toxicity, although in recent years its exposure has decreased, however, it has not been sufficient to prevent complications. Chronic exposure in concentrations greater than or equal to 1 ppm for a period of more than 8 hours a day for 10 constant years or when exposure exceeds 10 ppm for 1 year, there is a risk of developing hematological disorders.Objective: identify chronic hematological manifestations due to exposure to benzene in fuel dispatchers.Methods: a narrative review was carried out, compiling information from January 2000 to November 2022 in scientific databases such as Pubmed, Environmental Pollution, Dialnet, SAGE, Taylor and Francis, Springerlink, Science Direct, Scielo; using key words. Results: hematological manifestations that develop after chronic exposure to benzene at any concentration include lymphoid leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, chronic myeloid leukemia and aplastic anemia.Conclusions: there are various manifestations of chronic exposure to benzene, including chronic lymphatic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute or chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and multiple myeloma; therefore, annual medical check-ups and the application of strategies to reduce the time of occupational exposure are recommended in order to diagnose and prevent hematological diseases, since there are currently no prevention regulations to guarantee the wellbeing of dispatchers

Published: January 2023

Introduction: adequate feeding of children is a worldwide challenge, that is why it is important to know how to do it from the first months of life, ensuring proper growth and optimal development. It is of interest new methods such as Baby - Led Weaning (BLW), which is focused on a feeding guided by the same child, being he/she able to automate his/her own feeding rhythm.Aim: to describe the risks and benefits of Baby Led Weaning during the initiation of complementary feeding.Methodology: narrative literature review in PubMed and Cochcrane databases. Results: in comparison with those infants who were fed by baby led weaning, similar hemoglobin values were found, and the risk of asphyxia was the same in both groups. Choking can easily occur in infants who are initiating complementary feeding due to the fact of keeping the food constantly moving in the mouth and biting it for the first time. The findings are not sufficient to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of this new method. Conclusion: in this review it was found that BLW should be implemented at the beginning of breastfeeding, especially in children who are able to maintain a sitting position, taking into account the information gathered, it was shown that one of the most frequent risks is choking and among the benefits is the ability to self-monitor satiety

Health-Seeking Behavior of Diabetic and Hypertensive Patients in Rural Communities of Ghana
Authors: Amponsah Kodom Michael 
Published: January 2023

Background: This study examined the health-seeking behaviors of patients with diabetes and hypertension in rural communities in Ghana. In Ghana, most studies on diabetes and hypertension are clinically oriented. However, medical-sociological truism suggests that attitudes towards health and illnesses, such as hypertension and diabetes, have a social-cultural perspective.
Method: This study adopted a qualitative approach where twenty (20) participants who were either diabetic, hypertensive, or both were interviewed.
Results: One of the study's significant findings was that diabetics/hypertensives use only orthodox hospitals to treat their conditions. Another finding was that the problems and challenges diabetics and hypertensives face include financial difficulties, social isolation, and stigmatization.
Conclusion: Recommendations were made based on these findings. For instance, the registered traditional medicine practitioners should collaborate with the Ghana Health Service to intensify education on the importance of using certified traditional medicines in the treatment and management of diabetes and hypertension and provide customer-age-factor services at the various health facilities for persons with chronic diseases such as diabetics and hypertension.

Published: January 2023

Background: This study aimed to evaluate oral healthcare knowledge, attitudes, and management of admitted patients by Registered General Nurses (RGNs). It sought to appreciate the scope of training in the oral health management of patients using RGNs and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of RGNs in managing oral and maxillofacial conditions in admitted patients.
Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study used systematic random sampling to collect data using questionnaires at Parirenyatwa Hospital, Harare. One hundred and one RGNs participated in this study.
Results: The overall knowledge level of RGNs regarding oral and maxillofacial management of admitted patients was average. In addition, their general attitude regarding the oral and maxillofacial management of admitted patients was good, but their overall practice was considered fair.
Conclusion: These results show a disparity, with generally lower practices than self-perceived attitudes. Nurses should be equipped with a basic package of oral care for admitted patients through collaboration between oral health professionals and nursing professionals in research, training, and service.

Authors: Dube Sikhumbuzo , Sibanda Sinqobile Patience 
Published: January 2023

Creating an environment where re-engineering of the future of work in the post- COVID-19 era will be possible is invaluable. As church members try to make meaning of heart-wrenching situations, their spirituality is fundamental. This study assessed the effect of spirituality on mental health. A theoretical approach was adopted, and related literature was employed to assess the impact of spirituality on mental well-being. It evaluates how one's connection to the divine can be soothing during troubling times. A brief theological analysis of 1 Peter 5:7, as it relates to cognitive and affective stability, forms an integral part. Re-engineering work in the post-COVID-19 era entails adopting therapies that depend on a higher power for sustenance to meet complex challenges, such as spiritually informed therapies including prayer. Mental health specialists and clergy can adopt flexible modern methods of care, integrating spirituality into mental health and harmonizing their activities.

Detection of Heavy Metal-Resistance Gene in Bacteria Isolated from Clinical and Environmental Sources Using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Authors: Sendolo Danny , Baysah Glory , Onyebuchi Ezeamagu Cajethan 
Published: January 2023

Background: Global proliferation of the pharmaceutical industry in response to devastating health challenges has led to several ecological and environmental problems. Heavy metal contamination is one of the most dangerous factors that affect ecosystems and human health. This study aimed to detect the presence of heavy-metal resistance genes in clinical and environmental sources using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Method: This study employed an experimental design. The samples included 40 clinical isolates (blood, urine, throat, wound, and sputum) and 40 environmental isolates (pharmaceutical effluents).The isolates were collected and subcultured in nutrient broth for analysis.
Results: The result shows that heavy metal-resistant genes were not detected in the clinical isolates whereas 65% and 60% of the environmental isolates harbored silver (Ag) and arsenic (As) respectively. However, the clinical isolates in this study showed higher rates of resistance than the environmental isolates did. This may be due to the frequent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics during clinical sessions, leading to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains.
Conclusion: Heavy metal-resistant genes are present in bacteria in the environment and may cause severe health issues (drug resistance) when these genes are transmitted to pathogenic organisms that affect humans and animals. The association between bacterial drug resistance and heavy metal acquisition may greatly influence treatment outcomes in the event of infection. Therefore, control measures should be implemented to reduce the dissemination of these metals in the environment.

Authors: Mutekanga David , Ddamulira Christopher , Bagagire Nathan , Ndoboli Frederick , Katamba Paul 
Published: January 2023

Background: Compliance with biomedical waste segregation among healthcare workers, particularly in developing economies, is a major challenge. One of the main issues is establishing the predictors of compliance as a step toward addressing this challenge. Therefore, this study focused on establishing the predictors of compliance to biomedical waste segregation among health workers in health facilities, focusing on the Jinja district in Uganda.
Method: This study utilized a cross-sectional study design that employed quantitative and qualitative methods using a questionnaire and key informant interview approaches.
Results: The results showed that most (54.7%) health workers were not compliant with biomedical waste segregation. Additionally, the study found that gender, education, cadre, and experience were not significantly associated with compliance with biomedical waste segregation (p> 0.05). It also revealed that health facility ownership and support supervision were significantly associated with compliance with biomedical waste segregation among health workers (p =0.001, p =0.000).
Conclusion: Health workers in the Jinja District do not generally comply with biomedical waste segregation. There is a need for the health system to increase efforts to support supervision and funding to reduce the effects of poor biomedical waste segregation.

Authors: Chileya Prisca 
Published: January 2023

Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic in 2020 led to schools shutting down worldwide. Indefinite lockdowns forced many educational institutions to transition to online instruction. Learning, not only in isolation but also in some form of quarantine and fear of contracting a killer disease with limited to no social activities for many students in many countries, must have been a huge undertaking. This study explored the impact of online learning in isolation on students’ mental health.
Methods: A literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2021 that provided full access. Initially, a search was conducted with the Google search engine using the words “mental health, Covid-19, and mental health.” This was done to explore the literature available on the subject under review.
Results: The Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected the mental health of both tertiary and high school students. Although the sources vary, online learning has been identified as a significant contributing factor.
Conclusion: As much as technology provides platforms for socialization, face-to-face interactions provide opportunities for shared moments and interactions coupled with emotional contagion. Recommendations for students’ mental wellness/care during a pandemic and remote learning are provided.

Educational institutions are institutions or places where the educational process takes place with the aim of changing individual behavior for the better through interaction with the surrounding environment. There are three kinds of Islamic education institutions, namely (1) Formal Islamic Education Institutions, (2). Non-Formal Islamic Education Institutions, and (3). Informal Islamic Education Institute. Formal educational institutions are a structured and tiered educational path that consists of primary education, secondary education and higher education. Meanwhile, non-formal education institutions are educational pathways outside formal education which are implemented in a structured and tiered manner. These non-formal educational institutions are provided for residents who do not have the opportunity to attend or complete education at certain levels in formal education. Meanwhile, informal educational institutions are education whose scope is more focused on the family and society.
Family education is the first and foremost education. Family is the first educational institution, where students receive education and guidance from their parents or other family members for the first time. It is the family that lays the foundations for the child's personality, because at this time, children are more sensitive to the influence of educators (their parents).

Breakfast cereals were formulated from blends of acha, fermented mungbean and cashew nut (undefatted and defatted) flours. The undefatted and defatted cashew nut flours were used at different levels of substitution (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 %) with the best blend of acha and mungbean (80:20) flour which was determined by sensory evaluation. Breakfast cereals were produced by toasting (170 oC) a dry heat treatment process to gelatinize and semi-dextrinize the starch in order to generate dry ready to eat products. The samples were subjected to proximate and bioassay analyses. The breakfast cereal was used for a four week bioassay study using eighty four (84) healthy male albino rats weighing 60 - 90 g. The proximate composition showed: crude protein 10.24-20.10 %, moisture content 6.01-8.07 %, crude fat 3.60-24.51 %, crude fibre 4.02-7.07 %, ash 3.39-4.80 % and carbohydrate 46.4- 68.08 %. Feed intake was measured daily while weight gain was measured weekly. Results after the study showed; feed intake 234.22 – 344.55 g, weight gain 34.14 – 80.25 g, feed efficiency 0.14-0.25 and protein efficiency 0.99-1.89. Feeding experiment showed positive increase in weight when the rats were fed the formulated breakfast products. This implies that the products could support growth. No adverse growth rate was observed. Feed intake was also acceptable and compared well with the stable diet for rats. Feed efficiency of the samples compared well with the control diet.

Published: January 2023

A água é um recurso natural escasso e fundamental para a manutenção da vida, devendo a sua utilização racional ser uma preocupação de todos. Nas instituições de ensino superior, embora seja um ambiente de alta produção cientifica, muitas vezes as suas instalações não apresentam condições de eficiência na utilização dos recursos naturais, proporcionando impactos negativos como o da redução de disponibilidade de água na região, aumento da geração de efluentes, elevação dos custos operacionais e até mesmo o prejuízo indireto na formação dos estudantes, visto que seria benéfico o contato com uma gestão ambiental alinhada com as matrizes curriculares dos cursos. A redução no consumo de água em instalações prediais pode ser viabilizada de diversas formas, dependendo das características construtivas, da sua finalidade de utilização e do investimento disponível para as alterações. O presente trabalho analisa as instalações prediais e o histórico de consumo de água do Campus Porto, da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, indicando alterações para um uso mais eficiente do recurso hídrico através da redução no volume de vazamentos e modificações nos aparelhos sanitários, condições que proporcionariam uma redução do consumo de água estimada em 26,91%, aliada ao aumento do conforto na utilização das instalações por parte dos usuários. A análise realizada também contribui para a descrição das do consumo de água em instituições de ensino superior, condição que viabiliza o dimensionamento de sistemas complementares, como o de aproveitamento de águas pluviais ou de águas cinzas, visando melhor eficiência no abastecimento de água e contribuindo para a sustentabilidade das instituições de ensino.

O crescimento populacional tem como consequência, a alta demanda e produção de materiais duráveis e não duráveis. Contudo, esses produtos geram uma quantidade significativa de resíduos, que por sua vez, nem sempre são descartados adequadamente, gerando um acúmulo no ambiente, afetando todo o ecossistema, principalmente os corpos hídricos. Estudos sobre a presença de micropartículas plásticas em águas subterrâneas ainda são iniciais, sendo necessária a realização de mais pesquisas, nesse compartimento. Dessa maneira, esse estudo teve como objetivo analisar a presença de microplásticos em águas subterrâneas, do município de Cuiabá-MT. Para tal foi realizado um levantamento sobre a quantidade de poços existentes no município e realizada a coleta aleatória, de amostras de água de 11 poços, para quantificar e qualificar a presença de microplásticos. Os resultados revelaram que no município estão cadastrados 934 poços, sendo que desses, 65 estão na zona rural e 869 estão localizados na área urbana. Dos poços da área urbana, somente 669 encontram-se em funcionamento, sendo que um total de 508 poços são destinados ao uso doméstico e industrial. Foi encontrada em 81,81%, das amostras analisadas, a presença de microplásticos, com predominância de fibras. Em suma, verifica-se a necessidade de monitorar a qualidade da água dos poços profundos do município de Cuiabá-MT, visto que os microplásticos podem ser um indicador de poluição ambiental.
