Published: July 2023

Marine debris is widely distributed at the coastal area of the global oceans, but their specific sources, quantities and distribution remains inconclusive. Although the threat from marine debris pollution has beginning to be recognized in Malaysia, comprehensive studies are still lacking to document the pollution. This study adopted a standard method of beach marine debris survey to assess the type, amount and sources of debris on a one kilometer section in Tg. Aru and Kosuhoi beaches, Sabah, during surveys in December 2012 (northeast monsoon, NEM), May 2013 (intermediate monsoon, IM) and July 2013 (southwest monsoon, SWM). The mean total debris items was 1,220±532 item/km and weighing at 52.8±17.2 kg/km, where, Kosuhoi beach (1,241 item/km or 57 kg/km) received substantially greater quantities of debris compared to Tg. Aru beach (1,199 item/km or 48 kg/km). Total debris items was more abundant during SWM (1,789 item/km) compared to NEM (1,139 item/km) and IM (733 item/km) seasons. Plastic category objects were the most numerous amounting to 1,057 item/km (86.64%) in total debris items. Clear plastic bottles, food wrappers, plastic fragments, colored plastic bottles and cups were the most abundant objects collected which they contributed 606 item/km (49.69%) from the total debris item collected. The main source of debris objects abundance was from common source which contributed 52% from the total debris objects, whereas, those from terrestrial and marine sources contributed 32% and 16% respectively. The high percentage of terrestrial and common sources debris requires marine environment stakeholders to diversify their approach and priority in mitigating this alarming result especially during SWM period. Awareness program is an effective preventive measure that should be continued and intensified. However, the program should focus on target group to ensure the awareness effectiveness to reduce if not totally eliminate the debris in the marine environment.

Published: July 2023

Seawater intrusion is known to be a major problem that influences the quality of groundwater within coastal regions globally. The groundwater table within the coastal area is usually close to the ground surface due to low topography or human development activities such as land reclamation and man-made drainage systems that keep the water table at constant low level. Electrical resistivity method is one of the geophysical methods that has been extensively used to investigate seawater intrusion due to the high electrical conductivity contrast produced by saline water. Papar, Sabah is located at the west coastal region of Sabah and is generally formed by Crocker formation and Quaternary alluvium. The sedimentary rock of Crocker Formation mainly consists of thick sandstone unit, interbedded sandstone, siltstone and shale unit and shale unit. A total of Five 2D electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) methods were carried to image and model the subsurface within the research area to investigate the possibility of seawater intrusion. The ERI results are also supported by four groundwater samples and detailed lithologies from the borehole. Interpretation of the results divided the research area into three main zones of seawater intrusion potentials. Zone 1 is considered the highest potential of seawater intrusion, Zone 2 interpreted as potential extended zone or mixing zones between seawater and fresh water and finally Zone 3 did not indicate any low resistivity or potential of seawater intrusion. The seawater intrusion map produced from this research initiated and divided the potential zones based on the occurrence of seawater in the subsurface.

Published: July 2023

Aim. To evaluate the shifts in demographic, clinical, and epidemiological characteristics of patients with multidrugresistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with MDR TB registered in Dushanbe, before (2017-2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021).Results. The average age of patients prior to the COVID-19 pandemic was 36.5±16.9 years (1.7-79.4), whereas during the COVID-19 period, it was 34.4±17 years (2.9-80.2). The pandemic era witnessed a statistically significant rise in the proportion of workers among MDR TB patients compared to the unemployed (OR = 1.4; 95% CI 1.02-1.91; p = 0.05). Furthermore, an increase was observed in the proportion of patients with lung destruction in both newly diagnosed (OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.99–5.87; p<0.001) and previously treated patients (OR 4.2; 95% CI 1.38–12.99; p =0.002). There was also an increase in extrapulmonary tuberculosis registration (OR=1.7; 95% CI 1.34-2.22; p<0.001), indicating an unfavorable epidemiological situation in terms of MDR-TB. However, there were no statistically significant changes in the registration of concomitant diseases.Conclusion. We recommend the improvement of TB infection prevention and control measures at all levels, as well as the enhancement of early detection of TB and MDR TB patients by primary health care workers.

Published: July 2023

Este artículo explora a qué se alude cuando se habla sobre violencia y miedo en el consumo de medios en el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19 y las medidas de Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO) y Distanciamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio (DISPO) decretadas por el gobierno argentino. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y focalizadas a personas mayores de 18 años, habitantes del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Entre los principales resultados advertimos que cuando las personas hablan de violencia y miedo en los medios, se refieren a temas o motivos que exceden el de la inseguridad o el de la pandemia; emergen cuestiones conectadas con los modos de enunciar la actualidad, con los formatos o géneros que tratan sobre ella (habitualmente formatos de no ficción de las instituciones mediáticas clásicas del sistema broadcasting), así como cuestiones ligadas directamente con las lógicas y rutinas de los medios.

En este trabajo se evaluó el efecto de la suplementación de la PCaf, sobre parámetros productivos, la producción y calidad de la leche en cabras bajo condiciones de pastoreo, con el fin de que los productores tengan otras opciones de suplementación para sus animales contemplando el mejor rendimiento productivo de las cabras. Se utilizaron 20 cabras multirraciales en producción de leche con una producción promedio de 1.5 L de leche, y fueron divididas en 2 grupos (n=10 c/u) homogéneas en cuanto a peso vivo y condición corporal. Un primer grupo (Tratado) fue suplementado con 150 g de PCaf más 150 g de concentrado comercial (17% PC, 1.5 EM) y 2% de melaza del total de la ración, mientras que un segundo grupo (Control) recibió 100 g de concentrado comercial. El periodo de estudio fue de 21 días. La suplementación de los animales fue individual por la mañana (8:00 am) durante todo el periodo experimental. Se evaluaron las siguientes variables: peso vivo (PV), condición corporal (CC), producción y determinación de la calidad de la leche, los datos fueron analizados con prueba de t-Student. Los resultados en cuanto a PV, CC, producción de leche, el contenido de proteína, lactosa, solidos no grasos y sólidos totales no existió diferencia (P>0.05) para ambos grupos, sin embargo, en el contenido de grasa promedio presentó una significativa tendencia donde se encontraron mayores valores (P<0.05) en la leche de las cabras suplementadas con PCaf (3.2%), con relación a la proveniente de las cabras del grupo control (2.9%). Se concluye que la suplementación alimenticia con PCaf podría ser una alternativa viable para mejorar la calidad de la leche, sin disminuir la producción de la leche en cabras multirraciales bajo condiciones de pastoreo en el norte de México

Severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), COVID-19, caused a pandemic that took millions of lives worldwide. The main reason is a lack of preparedness and knowledge about the treatment options. With the advancement in the understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, many treatment options have been analyzed that helped effectively to decrease the mortality caused by this virus. Vitamin C is known to boost immunity and slow down the progression of viral infection. The current study was designed to assess the effectiveness of a high dose of intravenous (IV) vitamin C in COVID-19 infection. The clinical trial registered on 23/12/2020 at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04682574) was conducted in Bahria Town International Hospital, Lahore (BTIHL), Fatima Memorial Hospital, Lahore (FMH), and Evercare Hospital Lahore from 28/12/2020 to 10/4/2022. Two hundred seventy-eight critically ill patients with COVID-19 were categorized into two groups. One hundred thirty-nine patients were randomized in group VC (vitamin C), which was given a high dose (30 grams) of intravenous (IV) vitamin C for four days, whereas distilled water as a placebo was given to the control group (n=139) along with standard treatment protocols. All the patients were analyzed for primary outcomes in partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) to Fraction inspired oxygen (P/F) ratio and survival analysis. At the same time, levels of inflammatory and biochemical markers needed for intubation and length of hospital stay in both groups were compared as the study's secondary endpoint. Among the two groups, we did not find any differences in 28-day mortality (Log Rank P= 0.11). Similarly, no difference in the P/F ratio on the fourth day after the start of IV vitamin C treatment was noted (p=0.24). The median values of biochemical and inflammatory variables improved significantly in group VC on day 4. However, only hemoglobin levels remained non-significant between the groups. Mean days of hospital stay were slightly longer in group C. However, no statistical significance (p=0.941) was found. Although Group VC needed fewer intubations than Group C, results remained statistically insignificant (p= 0.273). This trial did not find any mortality benefit or improvement of the P/F ratio in critically ill patients. However, the VC group showed improvement in biochemical variables of prognostic importance, which seems to lower the chance of intubation and LOS in group VC. A further clinical trial with a large sample size is needed to reach the final conclusion.
