Published: January 2022

Introduction: The labor-intensive nature of cement brick manufacturing, its unorganized nature and internal migration, expose the employees to several occupational health hazards. The objective of the study was to assess the occupational risks in cement brick unit settings and to estimate the prevalence of respiratory and musculoskeletal morbidities among the cement brick unit workers in a rural area of Bangalore urban district.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among cement brick unit workers over two months. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to capture sociodemographic details. Multiple observations on the field and the World Health Organization semi-quantitative risk assessment matrix were used to obtain risk scores of the occupational hazards. A structured questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and Minispir Portable Spirometer were used to assess the respiratory morbidities and lung functions. Musculoskeletal morbidities were assessed using the Modified Nordic questionnaire. Proportions were used to describe respiratory and musculoskeletal morbidities. Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test and multivariate logistic regressions were done to identify significant variables.
Results: Among 120 subjects, 110 (91.6%) were men and 85.8% were migrants. Injury due to falls of heavy objects, back injury, respiratory complaints and slips/falls were found to be high-risk health hazards. The prevalence of respiratory morbidity was 21.7% and that of musculoskeletal morbidity was 51.7%. Workers receiving a higher salary (≥ 1500 Indian rupees) had higher odds of having respiratory morbidity.
Conclusion: The prevalence of respiratory and musculoskeletal morbidities was high. Introduction of mechanical equipment, decreasing work hours, periodic medical examinations and appropriate use of personal protective equipment will help in risk reduction as per this study.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are conditions in which the work environment and performance of work contribute significantly to the musculoskeletal condition. The objective of this study was to assess the work-related musculoskeletal disorders among the pesticide sprayers in tea plantations.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 290 chemical sprayers in selected tea plantations in South India from September to October 2018. Simple random sampling was done to select the sprayers for the study, written informed consent was taken and face–to–face interview was done with the sprayers. Socio-demographic factors and work profiles were noted. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used for the evaluation of musculoskeletal complaints.
Results: Among the 290 sprayers in the study, all of them were males and the mean age of the participants was 45.6±8.5 years. More than half of the study participants 152 (52.4%) suffered from at least one musculoskeletal complaint and most of them 104 (35.8%) had pain in more than one body part. Among them, more than one-third 101 (34.8%) suffered from knee joint pain in the past twelve months. Shoulder problems (27.6%), lower back (22.8%) and upper back pains (19.3%) were the other major work-related musculoskeletal disorders that the study participants faced in the past year. Knee pain (31.7%), low backache (20.7%) and shoulder pain (24.1%) were the musculoskeletal problems that were related to their absence from work.
Conclusion: More than half of the sprayers had at least one musculoskeletal complaint. Most common issues included knee joint pain, shoulder pain and back pains.
Islam, Modernity and the Concept of Progress (Islam, Pemodenan dan Konsep Kemajuan)
Authors: Zaharani Nor Farhain , Akhmetova Elmira 
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to review definitions and scope of modernity and analyze it in the context of a specific religion, Islam. The paper then highlights the harmony between progress and Islam based on the historical examples from the glorious eras of Islamic civilization in Andalusia and the Abbasid caliphate, in which modernity and religion were complementary in producing the novel innovations of that time. Knowledge creation and technological advancements were strongly pursued during that time by numerous renowned Muslim scholars, intellectuals and philosophers. This paper then examines the current situation in the Muslim world. The majority of Muslim nations are backward, impoverished and stagnant due to rigidity and restrictions in political and intellectual freedom, in addition to gender inequality and discrimination. As the paper finds, these unprecedented qualities are not a part of Islamic teachings, but the consequential effect of post colonialism and the politicization of religion by certain squatters using Islam for political interests and purposes.
Keywords: Modernity, Islam, Islamic Civilization and innovations, Muslim Spain, Abbasid Caliphate, Modernity today, Islam and modernity.

Resumo: A aplicação do projeto de extensão intitulado Desenvolvimento social e aplicação de tecnologias sociais em ações multidisciplinares na Unidade de Conservação Monumento Natural das Árvores Fossilizadas do Tocantins (Filadélfia-TO) permitiu conhecer a realidade do Programa de Assentamento (PA) Recreio. Por ser uma assentamento da Reforma Agrária, questionou-se, inicialmente, a produção no assentamento, a participação de famílias em algum programa destinado à agricultura familiar. A intenção era fortalecer e dar visibilidade à produção local por meio de orientações sobre a economia solidária, a agricultura familiar e a realização de uma feira para a exposição da produção. Contudo, em meio à pandemia da COVID-19, algumas visitas de campo foram realizadas, o que permitiu colher informações importantes sobre o PA, e, neste sentido, houve a necessidade de reestruturar o projeto. Por serem as mulheres as principais protagonistas na recepção da extensão, optou-se, para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, às teorizações da Divisão Sexual do Trabalho e do Desenvolvimento humano. Como procedimento metodológico, fez-se uso das visitas a algumas propriedades, roda de conversa, aplicação de questionário às participantes e outras observações tomadas junto à informante. Os resultados apontam as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas mulheres no âmbito da ausência de água potável para ingestão e outros usos, dificuldades na mobilidade da produção para obtenção de renda e a própria invisibilidade de seus trabalhos.

Published: January 2022

Este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre as desigualdades entre os gêneros presente no campo das sociabilidades delitivas, sobretudo, nos espaços juvenis imersos na prática de ato infracional. Essas contradições entre homens e mulheres têm se agudizado, produzindo violências e visões dúbias sobre o feminino e o masculino. Desse modo, buscamos compreender a partir de oficinas e entrevistas como os jovens autores de ato infracional internos no Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo (CASE), do município de Mossoró-RN, percebem os papéis sociais de ambos os gêneros. Nesses roteiros, a dominação masculina e a demarcação dos papeis de gênero são inflexibilizados, sobremaneira, nas sociabilidades delitivas. Temas como a virilidade, honra e masculinidades são engessados em prol da afirmação de protótipos heteronormativos. Nesse sentido, os jovens, imersos nesse contexto, precisam projetar precocemente estes atributos ditos masculinos. Assim, observamos nesse interim que os socioeducandos percebem e reproduzem em suas relações cotidianas (des)valores morais fundados numa visão patriarcal sobre o masculino e o feminino.

Authors: Sadikin Abdul Halim , Dian Irene , Mukharjon Mukharjon , Puspitaningtum Rini , Wanandi Septelia Inawati 
Published: January 2022

Background: In some people, acetaldehyde, a toxic product from ethanol oxidation, cannot be oxidized to acetate. The excess of acetaldehyde could cause facial flushing, dizziness, and hypertension when they consume ethanol. This ethanol sensitivity is caused by a deficiency of ALDH2.
Objective: This study aims to analyze and count the polymorphism frequency of the ALDH2 gene in Indonesia’s Minang ethnic.
Methods: DNA samples were taken randomly from hair bulbous of 60 subjects (male and female, 3rd generation). A nested polymerase chain reaction was conducted to amplify the ALDH2 in the samples. Afterward, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was conducted to the amplicons using the EcoRI restriction enzyme. The measured parameters were the distribution of the wildtype, atypical homozygote, and heterozygote.
Results: Results showed that out of 60 subjects, 53.33% have an atypical homozygote gene (subjects prone to hypersensitive to alcohol), 28.33% have a heterozygote gene, and 18.33% have a wildtype gene. The frequency of the atypical alleles in Minang ethnic is 0.675.
Conclusion: The atypical ALDH2 allele was much higher than the normal ALDH2 allele, in which most participants have atypical homozygote ALDH2, suggesting the samples are sensitive to alcohol.

Published: January 2022

School-based peer groups have been identified as a popular and effective method of providing health education and psychosocial support in schools. Children in developing countries as well as some of the poorest children in developing countries like South Africa face daily risks related to poverty, street crime and violence, poor health, lack or low-quality housing, inadequate and ineffective schools. These children and their families live in crisis which render them vulnerable. Thus, this study noted that there is an increase in social and emotional challenges and several risk factors for vulnerable learners globally and South Africa is not an exception. The incidence of child vulnerability and psychosocial support services have not been studied thoroughly in South Africa yet it is recognized widely that there is an increase in child stress and depression. Much of the psychosocial support services are provided by children themselves in terms of peer education groups. However, much of the research that is currently available on children relies on the reports of teachers and parents. This study learnt from literature that adults consistently underreport the effectiveness of these peer led groups in schools. Following this, the study took a qualitative approach using multiple case studies of 4 secondary schools with children as part of the participants. Pre-coded research instruments were administered to 4 teacher coordinators, 4 peer leaders, 1 district official and 1 learner support agent supervisor. Documents were also analyzed in the form of minutes of the meetings held, learner support agents report and registers. The study found that shortage of resources such as, counselling rooms, transport, attitudes of teachers and parents towards peer led programs, lack of training and cooperation of parents still hampered the progress of peer led programs. The study therefore concluded that there were still a lot of challenges faced by vulnerable children in schools because they were not accessed by their peers due to lack of resources, training, shortage of time and negative attitudes from adults towards children’s lives attitudes from adults towards children’s lives. The study recommends that peer led groups be part of the large school curriculum with a specific budget to sustain the needs of the peer led groups. The study indicated that there were no networking opportunities amongst peer-led groups due to lack of time, yet this is very important to all successful organizations of a peer group nature. The participants also revealed that peers are better placed if they had counselling rooms, time tabled services, positive attitudes from parents and long-term training on peer counselling.

High Flow Nasal Canula (HFNC) In COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (CARDS)
Authors: Sommeng Faisal Salahuddin , Arif Syafri Kamsul , Hisbullah Hisbullah , Rum Muhammad 
Published: January 2022

Pasien COVID-19 related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (CARDS) dengan gejala ARDS sedang hingga berat memerlukan Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) dan memiliki prognosis yang buruk dengan angka ARDS sekitar 75% serta 63% menerima Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) dengan tingkat kematian 59% . Tingginya angka kematian pasien CARDS mendapat terapi invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) menyebabkan para praktisi kesehatan berusaha untuk menunda intubasi dan ventilasi mekanik secara dini sehingga Non Invasive Ventilation Mechanic (NIV), CPAP dan HFNC menjadi alternatif terapi dalam penanganan CARDS. Kasus: Perempuan usia 49 tahun, masuk ICU dengan diagnosa POH-4 Craniectomy evakuasi tumor sphenoid, Sepsis Syok dan Covid-19 terkonfirmasi. Pada pemeriksaan didapatkan hipoksemia dengan ARDS berat P/F ratio 112.1 mmHg dan gambaran pneumonia dextra dan efusi pleura dextra. Sebelum pindah ke ICU Covid, pasien mendapatkan terapi HFNC FiO2 40% dengan flow 35 L/menit, RR 25, Saturasi 95%, ROX index 9,5. Pemeriksaan laboratorium didapatkan Wbc : 7.800/L, Hb: 8,1mg/dl, Plt : 131.000/mm3, Bilirubin total 1,3 mg/dl, bilirubin direct 0,83 mg/dl, Na/K/cl : 143/2,9/111, Procalcitonin : 11.2. Kesimpulan: Terapi oksigen dengan HFNC pada CARDS sedang sampai berat menjadi pilihan bijaksana dimana terapi HFNC dapat menunda intubasi dan IMV dengan outcome yang baik. Sebagaimana Surviving Sepsis/Society of Critical Care Medicine merekomendasikan HFNC sebagai pendekatan lini pertama.
