Authors: Rohanachandra Y. M. Maheshi , Alles P. S. , Amarakoon L. , Prathapan S. 
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Medical students are an especially vulnerable group to develop mental health problems due to high academic pressure, competitive training and financial restraints. Loss of routine, disengagement from peers and adapting to distant learning during the pandemic may worsen psychological distress in medical students.
Aims: We aimed to identify the psychological impact and coping strategies of medical students during the pandemic.
Methods: The study instruments were emailed as a Google form among all medical students in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka. A specifically designed questionnaire was used to gather the sociodemograpgic details and assess coping skills. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to measure psychological impact.
Results: 527 students responded to the questionnaire. The main worry among the students was upcoming exams (74.4%). Depressive symptoms were present in 40.8%, anxiety in 34% and high levels of stress were seen in 24.7%. Depression (p
Exploration of Electroencephalographic Signatures of Non-Dominant Handwriting Task
Authors: Singh Yogesh , Singh Jayvardhan , Kathrotia Rajesh 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Handwritten language is one of the key learned expertises of the human brain and preferred modes for long-distance communication. The dexterity and hand dominance in written language are well-known phenomenon. Normally, we are accustomed to writing with one hand only. Literature suggests that the dual task of attention interferes with the performance of one task and/or the other, as these tasks use the same attentional resources.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to investigate the quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates of non-dominant handwriting (NDHW) as an attentionally demanding task.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a study on 35 male native Hindi speakers, well accustomed to reading and writing. The intervention consisted of 5-min writing with the DHW and NDHW with concurrent EEG recording. The EEG electrodes were applied according to the 10–20 international system of electrode placement. EEG signals were analysed offline. The outcome measures were fast Fourier transform transformed absolute power in delta (1–4 Hz), theta (4–8 Hz), alpha (8–14 Hz), beta (14–30 Hz) and gamma (30–50 Hz) frequency bands at 19 electrode positions. Medians of 10 epochs from artefact-free regions of EEG during NDHW and DHW were statistically analysed.

Results:
The task of NDHW was associated with decreased absolute powers in frontal and occipital leads mainly in delta and theta frequency bands and at frontocentral leads in the alpha band. Absolute powers in the beta frequency band were increased mainly at frontal and decreased posteriorly, while there was a generalised increase in gamma-band power.

Conclusions:
NDHW task as compared to the DHW task has distinct EEG correlates suggestive of a stressed attentive mental state.

Published: December 2021

Background:
Considering the impending crisis of COVID-19 and hospitals across India and the world gearing up to manage such cases, an online survey to assess the baseline psychological symptoms in health-care workers (HCWs) of a single tertiary care hospital was designed. The survey was cleared by the institutional ethics committee.

Materials and Methods:
An online self-reported survey was designed on the Google Survey portal, COVID: A survey of stress (SOS COVID) and posted on various closed WhatsApp group of employees. A snowball sampling method was adopted. We collected self-reported data on socio-demographics and data in relation to COVID-19 patient care, depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index) and perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10).

Results:
Two hundred and twenty-seven participants responded to the online survey. The mean age was 28.77 years, 64% were female, mostly (74.9%) resided outside the campus and approximately half (46.7%) were frontline worker. On average, participants had low scores on all the scales, but approximately 23% scored above the cut-off for either moderate to severe depression, anxiety or insomnia. Those scoring higher (lower) in one scale also scored similarly on other scales. The chances of scoring above cut-off were significantly higher in females (P = 0.022), postgraduate educated (P = 0.018), physicians (P = 0.006) and residents of the campus (P = 0.011), though being a female and a physician persisted as significant predictors on logistic regression analysis.

Conclusions:
The COVID-19 pandemic created considerable anxiety and stress among the HCWs. The most vulnerable HCWs are women and physicians who may require special support services to address the extra burden of psychological distress.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of two frequently used surgical valves in treating refractory glaucoma.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective and nonrandomized study comparing patients aged 18 years or older who underwent implantation using standardized surgical techniques.

RESULTS:
A total of 86 patients were included in the study, 48 in the Ahmed group and 38 in the Baerveldt group. The overall success rate was 63.1% in both the groups. At the 3-year follow-up, the Ahmed group had a mean intraocular pressure (IOP) of 14.0 ± 4.8 mmHg (60% reduction) compared with 15.8 ± 6.2 mmHg (53.3% reduction) in the Baerveldt group (0.536). The Ahmed group required an average of 1.6 ± 1.3 medications (59% reduction) compared with 2.1 ± 1.7 (40% reduction) in the Baerveldt group (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION:
Despite a high failure rate, both devices were effective in lowering IOP and the need for medications. Lower IOP and medications were needed in the Ahmed group.

The role of parents is a determining element of student success during the Covid-19 pandemic. Achieving success in children's education cannot be separated from the vital role of parents, who are the primary source in children's education. The research question is: What is parents' role in Christian Religious Learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at SDN 02 Kalirejo in the 2019/2020 academic year? The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results of this study indicate that parents act as teachers, motivators, facilitators, and mentors. Then it was also found that not all parents of students have played their role in the distance learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is due to several factors, including an incomplete understanding of the role of parents in the distance learning process; minimal socialization about the role of parents in distance learning either from schools or educators; distance learning is new for parents; working parents cause the time allocation to be minimal.

“Não existem fatos, só existem histórias": nação e identidade nacional no romance “Viva o povo brasileiro", de João Ubaldo Ribeiro
Authors: Gaudêncio Bruno Rafael de Albuquerque , De Oliveira Neto João Matias 
Published: December 2021

A partir de uma análise do livro Viva o Povo Brasileiro, do escritor João Ubaldo Ribeiro (1941-2014), entendemos que um diálogo pode ser estabelecido acerca das noções de nação e identidade nacional a partir deste romance publicado em 1984, isto é, ainda no contexto do período militar no Brasil. Neste trabalho, entendemos que problematizar tais noções significa buscar a sua abrangência para além dos significados conferidos pela historiografia e teoria social, propondo uma relação entre história, literatura e conhecimento sociológico presente no desafio de pensar a construção de uma nação a partir da identidade nacional construída junto de personagens, cronologias e ambientes narrativos. Ao entrecruzar estas noções, pensamos tanto nas estruturas narrativas do romance como no modo como estas são trabalhadas, principalmente, a partir de um diálogo com Paul Ricouer, Benedict Anderson, Eric Hobsbawn, Hayden White e Antônio Candido.

Authors: Ünver Mehmet , Olgun Murat , Türkarslan Ezgi 
Published: December 2021

The notion of trigonometric similarity measure (SM) for spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) has become very important in solving various problems in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. This study proposes some trigonometric SMs with the help of Choquet integral for SFSs. The proposed trigonometric SMs clearly satisfy the axiomatic definition of classical SMs. We also perform these SMs in pattern recognition problems to examine a comparative analysis of the proposed trigonometric SMs with some existing SMs. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient is utilized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SMs.

SITRUS: INOVASI SABUN KERTAS BERBASIS LIMBAH KULIT JERUK DI TENGAH PANDEMI COVID-19
Authors: Lie Darren , Alzura Fairuz Aisya 
Published: December 2021

Pendahuluan: Belum tersedianya terapi kuratif untuk COVID-19 berkonsekuensi pada pentingnya upaya preventif untuk menekan penyebaran virus SARS-CoV-2. Salah satu pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan adalah pengembangan sediaan farmasi dalam bidang kosmetik, yaitu sabun, yang berperan sebagai surfaktan pembersih kotoran sehingga mampu merusak serta menghancurkan viabilitas virus. Tingginya jumlah limbah kulit jeruk di Indonesia serta pentingnya perilaku preventif masyarakat menjadi dasar alasan pembuatan Sitrus (sabun Citrus), yaitu sabun yang memanfaatkan kandungan minyak atsiri limonen dari kulit jeruk dan dikemas dalam bentuk sabun kertas (sabun padat yang dicetak kecil tipis seperti lembaran dan akan larut berbusa ketika bercampur dengan air).
Isi: Kulit jeruk dapat memberikan aktivitas antimikroba melalui mekanisme akumulasi limonen dalam membran plasma mikroba sehingga menghilangkan integritas serta mengganggu gradien elektrokimia pada membran sel. Minyak atsiri dari kulit jeruk diperoleh dengan metode distilasi uap dan digunakan sebanyak 3% dalam formulasi Sitrus. Komponen lainnya mencakup NaOH 30% sebanyak 25% sebagai komponen basa sabun, minyak zaitun 20% sebagai komponen asam sabun, asam stearat 11% sebagai neutralizer, etanol 96% sebanyak 18% sebagai pelarut, gliserin 15% sebagai plasticizer, dan air sebagai pelarut. Sitrus merupakan sabun kertas pribadi sehingga bersifat ekonomis, mudah dibawa dan diaplikasikan, tidak menghilangkan minyak pada tempat pengaplikasian, serta memiliki aksi ganda (membersihkan tangan dan antimikroba).
Kesimpulan: Kombinasi aktivitas antimikroba dan bentuk sediaan sabun kertas memperkuat Sitrus sebagai salah satu upaya peningkatan perilaku preventif masyarakat kala pandemi COVID-19. Sitrus dapat menghilangkan komponen mikroorganisme seperti bakteri dan virus di permukaan kulit sekaligus membantu mengurangi dampak limbah kulit jeruk.
