Published: March 2023

This study aimed to describe the President's speech text as a critical discourse analysis taken on the Indonesian Republic Secretariat Cabinet website, conveyed by Ir. Joko Widodo as the 7th president of the Republic of Indonesia. The methodology used by the researchers was a descriptive qualitative method. This textual content analysis is base on Van Dijk's design by which the research unit section is divide into three parts: macro-structure, supra structure and microstructure. The study revealed that the textual content was analyzed thematically or the discourse's subject in the macro-structure. The theme of Jokowi's speech was about Indonesia's excellence. It can be seen clearly from almost all the paragraphs in the statement stating one general subject, namely, about Indonesia's superiority. Then, for the supra-structure, Jokowi's speech text is divided into three main elements: opening, content, and closing, which consisted of two opening paragraphs, eighteen content paragraphs, and two closing paragraphs. The last was microstructure. It was analyzed in a semantic way, which refers to the text's social meaning and the language modes used in the text. Semantically, the text of Jokowi's speech was analyzed from its setting, detail, intention, and presupposition. From Jokowi's information, this expression shows that the speech's overall form contained all the speeches delivered by him; opening, filling, and closing. What has become very clear to set Jokowi apart from many other international public figures is that he uses simple language. The things that Jokowi has brought can be an excellent lesson for people when speaking in front of the audience.

Synthesis and properties of 7-((6-aryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-3-yl)methyl)theophyllines
Authors: Бакумовська Х. Д. , Гоцуля А. С. 
Published: March 2023

The creation of new biologically active compounds is a promising area of modern medicinal chemistry. Heterocyclic systems play an important role in this process.Among them, it is necessary to note 1,2,4-triazole and xanthine, the presence of which in the structure of known medicines determines their pharmacological activity. The combination of these heterocycles within a single molecule can lead to the enhancement of the existing biological effect or the emergence of new useful properties.
The aim of the work has been to synthesize new theophylline-containing 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivatives, study their physicochemical properties and predictive study of their biological potential.
The research objects have been the 7-((6-aryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]-thiadiazol-3-yl)methyl)theophylline, which were obtained by condensation of the starting 7-((4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl)theophylline with aromatic carboxylic acids (benzoic,2-methoxybenzoic, 3-methoxybenzoic, 2-bromo-5-methoxybenzoic,2-bromo-4-fluorobenzoic, 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic, 2-bromo-5-nitrobenzoic) in phosphorus oxychloride medium under heating. The structure of the intermediate 7-((4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl)theophylline was formed by a multistep chemical transformation of 1,3-dimethylxanthine. The structure of the synthesized compounds has been confirmed by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy, their individuality has been established by chromatography-mass spectrometry.
The feasibility of further biological research has been preliminarily assessed by an in silico method, in particular, molecular docking. Cyclooxygenase-2, lanosterol 14α-demethylase and anaplastic lymphoma kinase have been used as model enzymes. The most likely activity, which is quite probable in a number of synthesized compounds, is antifungal. In this context, 7-((6-(2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-3-yl)methyl)theophylline looks particularly promising, as it exceeds ketoconazole in terms of the energy of intermolecular interactions with lanosterol 14α-demethylase.

Authors: MEMİŞ Hasan , ÇAKIR Ahmet , ÖZDEMİR Nesligül , GÜN Zeynep Ülkü 
Published: March 2023

Objective: This study seeks to identify potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in hospitalized patients and compare two commercial drug interaction databases.
Material and Method: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted between February and May 2022 in a tertiary care hospital's general pediatric ward. UpToDate® and Micromedex® Drug Interaction databases were used to determine pDDIs.
Result and Discussion: In total, 267 pDDIs were found in 51 pediatric patients' medication lists (181 via UpToDate® and 86 via Micromedex®). The use of at least five different systemic drugs concurrently was statistically significant between groups of patients who experienced at least one pDDI and those who did not. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that a one-drug increase in the total number of drugs a patient received during hospitalization increased the probability of pDDIs by 2.12-fold (CI: 1.321-3.417, p=0.002). The concordance rate between UpToDate® and Micromedex® databases for pDDI determination was 84.31% (kappa coefficient=0.676, standard error=0.102, (p ≤ 0.001)). When the UpToDate® database was assumed as a reference database, the Micromedex® database's sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy in determining pDDIs were 79.41%, 94.12%, 96.43%, 69.56%, and 84.5%. To avoid missing pDDIs, utilizing multiple drug interaction databases may be of benefit.

Authors: Bienkovska Tetyana , Khoma Ruslan , Vatral Olena 
Published: March 2023

The paper presents research results on the colorimetric behavior of impregnated fibrous chemisorbents (IFCS) of basic gases with visual identification of the dynamic absorption capacity “response” moment (IFCS-I) during the absorption of ammonia. Chemisorbents were obtained by impregnation of fibrous carriers with polybasic hydroxyl acid aqueous solutions with adding acid-base indicators (Ind). IFCS-I based on oxyethylenediphosphonic (IFCS-OEDPA-I), citric (IFCS-CA-I), and malic (IFCS-MA-I) acids were used. Azolithine (Az), lakmoid (LA), methyl orange (MO), methyl red (MR), Tropeolin OOO (TrOOO), Congo red (CoR), bromocresol green (BCG), broxylenol blue (BXB), bromophenol blue (BPB), bromophenol red (BPR), thymol blue (TB), xylenol orange (XO), and phenol red (PR) were used as acid-base indicators. The specificity of the changes in the colorimetric functions of IFCS-I during the absorption of NH3 by them was revealed. It was found that the color of the initial IFCS-I samples significantly depended not only on the structure of Ind, but also on the nature of the polybasic hydroxy acid being part of them. The colors of the samples based only on OEDPA (Ind = CoR, BCG, BPB), CA (Ind = CoR, TrOOO, BCG, BPB, BPR, XO) and some MA (TrOOO, BCG) are similar to the colors of aqueous solutions of Brönsted acids. The difference in the colors of the other samples from the colors of strong acid aqueous solutions with the same Ind is apparently due to specific interactions between hydroxy acid anions and neutral dye forms. During “response” to NH3 only some IFCS-I samples based on OEDPA (Ind: MO, TrOOO, Az and BPR), CA (Ind: CoR, MR, MO, TrOOO, BXB, BPR, TB, PR) and MA (Ind: LA, MR, MO, Az, BXB, XO, TB, PR) are discolored in contrast to the behavior of SO2 indicator chemisorbents.

Published: March 2023

IntroductionThe emergence of COVID-19 resulted in heightened usage of online information seeking platforms among students aimed at obtaining information about the virus. This situation further increased the levels of risk perception and anxiety levels as students managed to stay safe. This study examined the roles of information seeking platforms; specifically, social media platforms and professional platforms as moderators of the link between risk perception and anxiety among university students in Ghana.MethodsParticipants were recruited from two universities in Ghana; namely, University of Education, Winneba (UEW) and University of Cape Coast (UCC) through a survey approach. The study conveniently sampled 778 participants who completed a set of questionnaires.ResultsThe study results revealed that COVID-19 risk perception was positively related to anxiety. Further, the use of specific online information platforms significantly moderated the link between risk perception and anxiety. Specifically, social media platforms significantly moderated the relationship between COVID-19 risk perception and anxiety level. Primarily, students who utilized social media as a COVID-19 information source reported high anxiety levels in the presence of high-risk perception compared to those who did not use social media. Additionally, professional platform usage acted as a buffer in the positive link between COVID-19 risk perception and anxiety levels. In the presence of high risk perception, students who used professional platforms, compared to those who did not use professional platforms, showed significantly low anxiety levels.ConclusionsThe findings suggest the key role social media and professional platforms played in shaping students' perceptions of COVID-19. These outcomes call for the swift scrutiny of health-related information obtained from social media platforms. Both users and disseminators of health-related information on social media platforms have the responsibility of verifying the credibility of whichever information they post and/or access. Risk perception should also be an integral part of effective risk communication planning in educational institutions during outbreak of diseases.
