Objective: To find a possible association between levels of vitamin D and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar over six months. Diagnosed cases of Type-II diabetes mellitus were recruited through non-probability consecutive sampling. The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and serum vitamin D levels were assessed in 219 selected patients enrolled in the study through Cobas Integra 800 and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay respectively. Patients were divided into three categories based on increasing levels of glycosylated hemoglobin. The trend in the levels of vitamin D levels in these categories of increasing HbA1c was identified.
Results:
Out of 219 Type II diabetic patients, 30.1% (66) were men while 69.9% (153) were women. The mean age was 59.48 ± 9.29 years. Similarly, HbA1c and serum vitamin D, were 9.47 ± 2.88 and 18.63 ± 16.54, respectively. Overall, 59% of the patients were Vitamin D deficient. The decrease in Vitamin D levels was associated with an increase in glycosylated hemoglobin levels (p-value 0.002).
CONCLUSION:
Vitamin D deficiency in Type-II diabetes mellitus patients increases with increasing levels of glycosylated hemoglobin.

Published: March 2023

A região fronteiriça de Corumbá (MS) está localizada entre o Brasil e a Bolívia, sendo formada também pela cidade brasileira de Ladário (MS) e as cidades bolivianas de Puerto Quijarro e Puerto Suarez. Para definir a área de estudo foi realizado um recorte dos municípios com a criação de um buffer de 8km a partir da sede dos munícipios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as mudanças ocorridas no uso e cobertura da terra entre os anos de 1975, 1985, 1994, 2005 e 2017 com enfoque na área construída, utilizando imagens Landsat. Para o processo de análise multitemporal das alterações na paisagem foi utilizado o método de classificação orientada a objeto – Geographic Object Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA). Foram definidas cinco classes temáticas: agropecuária, área construída, áreas úmidas, corpos hídricos e vegetação. A validação do mapeamento foi calculada pelo índice Kappa que apresentou resultados excelentes, superiores a 0,8 para todos os anos. Os resultados da análise multitemporal demonstraram que a expansão da área construída ocorreu principalmente substituindo áreas de agropecuária, no entanto também chamou a atenção a recuperação de áreas de vegetação no intervalo entre 2005-2017 decorrentes de processos de regeneração com influência antrópica.

Published: March 2023

Achilles tendon is the most common site of lower extremity tendon rupture. Current treatment has not been able to restore the biological and mechanical properties of the tendon to pre-injure condition. One of the treatments used to improve Achilles tendon healing is the application of PRP. The research would like to determine the effect of using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on the recovery of tendon rupture in animals model (wistar strain white rats). This is an experimental study with a post-test only control group design using animals model (white rats). This study was conducted at the INA Lab Laboratory, Padang in November 2022. The samples were divided into two groups, the control group and the treatment group where both of these groups were injured and sutured to the tendons. The control group was not given PRP, while the treatment group was given 0.1 cc of PRP. The PRP used was heterologous from healthy human blood. Observations were made after 1 week both groups were maintained and treated. There were 12 white rats which were divided into the PRP group and the control group. The PRP group had a lower histopathological score (5.83) than the control group (10.50). In this study, there was a significant difference between the recovery of tendon ruptures in animal model (white rats) that were given Human Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and experimental animals (rats) that were not given PRP (p value 0.007). PRP improves healing in Achilles tendon rupture.

Authors: Sutrisno Sutrisno , Wildan Aulia Firdaus  
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Endometriosis is a severe disorder marked by endometrial tissue outside the uterus and linked to infertility, although typically manifesting as discomfort in the form of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain. Dienogest is indicated as a first-line hormone treatment for endometriosis-related discomfort. The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy of Dienogest on treating pelvic pain and dyspareunia compared to placebo or combined oral contraceptives (COC) in women with endometriosis.
Methods: A systematic search is conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The PRISMA 2020 rules were used to screen the articles that were obtained. For the review, studies that examined how using dienogest in improving endometriosis were exposed to were taken into consideration. In a meta-analysis utilizing a random-effects model, odds ratios with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were provided.
Results: Five studies that met the criteria for inclusion were determined to be pertinent to the association between using dienogest in improving endometriosis (n=711). The Dienogest group had substantially improve pelvic pain with a mean difference of 1.01 (95% CI 1.2, 0.82; p<0.00001) and dyspareunia with a mean difference of 0.58 (95% CI 1.09, 0.08; p=0.02) compared to placebo. Compared to combined oral contraceptives, COC had substantially improves dyspareunia with a mean difference of 0.99 (95% CI 0.62, 1.37; p<0.00001) and pelvic pain with a mean difference of 1.15 (95% CI 0.23, 0.83; p=0.01).

The Little Prince: The Big Lesson
Authors: Gairola Vineet 
Published: March 2023

The Little Prince, a theoretical parable in itself, is capable of evoking emotions
related to oneself and the societal fabric of existence in an eloquent manner. This
research paper talks about The Little Prince in terms of childhood, identity, and society
in the Indian context. How being busy in modern times is confounded with being
productive is questioned in this paper. The notion of how development is usually
understood is problematic. It is important to understand that a child is not something
to be raised. Only learning from experience, freedom, and responsibility is to be fostered.
The Little Prince takes us from formality to authenticity. The way of the little prince is
not philosophy. His way of life is philosia, where philo means “love” and ousia means
“truth.” The Little Prince reminds us that truth is not an escape, but rather the
awareness of escape.It is to be noted that childhood as a cultural construction comes
out to be a human choice, and the consciousness of childhood comes out to be cultural.
Much of childhood remains ununderstood in terms of playing and balancing the
cathartic threads of psychoanalysis, culture, and society. Through a psychosocial lens,
this paper sheds light on how something hidden is always hyper-present, presenting
itself by showing what it shows.
Attainment of Moksha in Kashi: A Qualitative Investigation
Authors: Das Sreeja , Singh Tushar , Mittal Shalini 
Published: March 2023

Death-related beliefs and actions have changed over the course of human history.
This study is a thematic examination of people who travel to Kashi, the Hindu sacred
city, to die at the end of their lives. Pilgrims who arrive in Kashi to die anticipate a
specific spiritual recompense called moksha, which is variously interpreted as freedom
from rebirth or a good rebirth. This dissertation sought to highlight the sociohistorical
epoch defined by a profusion of scholarly literary works on death and dying, as well as
a surge in social movements trying to improve the way people die. To acquire a thorough
knowledge of the motivations for attaining Moksha, particularly in Kashi, the study
utilised a qualitative methodology. Thematic analysis has been used to dive into the
perceptions of the participants and present a comprehensive description of their
motivation. A semi-structured interview guide based on Indian and western literature
reports was employed to obtain data. After interviewing 10 people, theme saturation
was reached. Results revealed how Indian philosophical and religious notions, such as
Karma, Dharma, Atman, and the concept of rebirth, have a significant impact on
Indian perceptions of spirituality at the end of life.

The massive spread of COVID-19 has put people’s standard of living in jeopardy.
The mental health status of the students has been a matter of concern throughout the
lockdown. The study aims to identify university students’ immediate psychological
responses as an index of mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 outbreak
lockdown period and to investigate demographic predictors of their mental health
outcomes. 167 students responded to a web-based cross-sectional survey that included
the IES-R and DASS-21BV in addition to demographic data and relevant COVID-19
questions. 49.2% of the respondents reported stress, 54.6% reported anxiety, 64.2%
reported depression ranging from mild to extremely severe, based on DASS-21, and
68.9% of respondents rated having a mild to severe psychological impact from the
lockdown on the IES-R. Age was significantly associated with the DASS stress subscale
(B = -.159, AR2 =.019, 95% CI: -1.023 to -.021). The study ascertains the commonness
of the psychological impact of the lockdown period of the COVID-19 outbreak on
university students, necessitating immediate intervention to cope with the unprecedented

Sonic architecture: auditory illusion of a visual memory in the shophouse 1527 for "a lost kitchen"
Authors:   , Nateekulcharoen Thanatchaporn 
Published: March 2023

This thesis is a study of sound in relation to a theory of "EVERYDAY LIFE." It is a supplement to Paul Connerton’s view on architecture and memories written in a book entitled How Societies Remember. The ideas are that, first of all, objects, imageries, data can be converted to sound and vice versa. Secondly, sound is considered to be visual memories that exists in space and time. Lastly, it is possible to create a space of sound to exhibit a past life of a built environ. The intention of this study is to document the visual memories of the lost objects of the past owners in Samyan district, during the period of urban gentrification. Sound of a Lost Kitchen is recorded by using auditory illusion technique of Thai omelet cooking sound from performance upon things in real space. The proposed outcome of this study is to exhibit sound of "A Lost Kitchen" in an actual space, a temporary art house entitled the Shophouse 1527. The aim is to test the response of the visitors that feel through the perception of "Auditory Illusion" in real space. Sonic architecture, in this sense, is not only an attempt to use sound as a design tool but also to preserve the memories. In this thesis, I pay respect to architecture in relation to sound. The symbolism of Thai culture in everyday life reflects to the value of lost space as the preservation of memory. The analysis of the outcome is based on the audiences’ responses to the exhibition "A Lost Kitchen," particularly the cultural differences. All positive and negative responses are valuable for the future development.
