Published: May 2022

Penjajahan dan kezaliman yang berlaku ke atas rakyat Palestin sementelahan pula kebisuan negara-negara berkuasa besar dan peranan Palestinian National Authority yang terbatas atau mempunyai kapasiti agak memuaskan, maka hadirnya pelbagai jenis NGO menjalankan aktiviti bantuan kemanusiaan terhadap golongan rentan ini. Matlamat utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti bentuk-bentuk penglibatan dan sumbangan NGO kemanusiaan Malaysia dalam isu kemanusiaan Palestin. Berasaskan pendekatan kualitatif, kajian telah menjalankan temu bual mendalam bersama tiga pegawai NGO Aman Palestin. Pemilihan NGO ini adalah berdasarkan bantuannya yang mengkhususkan kepada Palestin dan penglibatan secara aktif sejak penubuhan organisasi tersebut. Penemuan kajian telah menunjukkan terdapat pelbagai bentuk sumbangan bantuan kemanusiaan Aman Palestin menerusi projek yang melibatkan sektor ekonomi, pendidikan, sosial, kesihatan, pertanian dan insfratruktur telah menyumbang kelestarian hidup rakyat di sana. Penglibatan aktif melalui aktiviti-aktiviti yang dijalankan di Malaysia telah mempertingkatkan kesedaran mengenai isu Palestin dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, projek dan aktiviti Aman Palestin dilihat lebih bersifat islamisasi yang mensasarkan golongan beragama Islam sahaja. Isu Palestin perlu diangkat sebagai isu kemanusiaan bukan agama semata-mata supaya semua lapisan masyarakat tanpa mengira latar belakang agama dapat berganding bahu dalam membantah penjajahan Israel.

The presence of various NGOs carrying out humanitarian aid activities for Palestinian due to occupation and oppression concurrently the silence between superpowers and the limited role of the Palestinian National Authority. The purpose of this study is to identify the forms of involvement and contribution of Malaysian humanitarian NGOs in Palestinian humanitarian issues. Based on a qualitative approach, the study conducted in-depth interviews with three Aman Palestin officials. The selection of this NGO was based on specialized assistance to Palestine and its active involvement since the organization’s establishment. The findings have shown there are various humanitarian aid projects conducted by Aman Palestin involving the economic, educational, social, health, agricultural, and infrastructure sectors. Indubitably, the projects have contributed to the sustainability of the Palestinians’ lives. Active involvement through activities conducted in Malaysia has increased awareness of the Palestinian issue among the Malaysian community. However, Aman Palestin projects and activities are seen to be more religious in nature targeting Muslims solely. The Palestinian issue ought to be raised as a non-religious humanitarian issue in order for all societies regardless of religious background cooperatively in protesting Israeli occupation.

Cash flows from destinations to sending homes may capture a core feature of remittance practices, yet, like the act of migrating, the flows do not take place in a vacuum. Rather they are part of a complex and dynamic system linking movers and non-movers. While the complex dynamism of remittance practices can be a challenge, as the articles included in this volume of Remittance Reviews note, understanding is within our reach.

Effects of Self-Massage and Foot Exercises on Lumbar Spine Pain and Functional Condition in Sedentary Men
Authors: Gorodeckaitė Adrija , Šilinė Ligita 
Published: May 2022

Background. Lumbar pain is one of the most common disorders of the musculoskeletal system in workers who sit for prolonged periods of time. Prolonged sitting hours change muscle activity and create tension, which negatively affects the structure of the fascia. Myofascial exercises for the posterior superficial chain have been shown to reduce lumbar pain, but the effect of self-massage and foot exercises on the functional condition of the lumbar in office workers is unclear.
The aim. To assess the effect of self-massage and foot exercises on lumbar pain and functional condition in male office workers.
Methods. The study included 20 men (25.8 ± 2,6 year) (10 in the experimental group, 10 in the control group) engaged in sedentary work and experiencing chronic non-specific lumbar pain. Before and after the study, a pain intensity assessment was performed using the numerical rating scale (NRS), a functional status assessment using the Oswestry questionnaire, and an assessment of the superficial length of the back superficial chain (lower part) using the toe reach test. For the experimental group, 5 times a week for 10 weeks for 10 minutes, self-massage was applied to each foot; and 3 times a week for 30 minutes, exercises for the feet.
Results. After self-massage and foot exercises, the intensity of pain and functional disability decreased significantly (p <0.001), and the length of the back superficial chain (lower part) increased (p <0.001). Functional disability increased in the control group (p <0.001). After the study, functional disability differed significantly between groups (p = 0.02).
Conclusion. Self-massage and foot exercises improved functional condition and reduced lumbar pain in male office workers.
Keywords: low back pain, fascia, myofascial chain, massage, physiotherapy.

Published: May 2022

Background. The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis has increased significantly and continued to increase in recent decades. Different interventions are used for the treatment: therapeutic exercises, kinesiotaping and placebo. The application of these therapies remains controversial.
The aim. To determine the effect of kinesiotaping and sham taping on knee function and patient’s functional mobility in knee osteoarthritis.
Methods. A randomized clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05320562) was performed in one of the Lithuanian clinics. Thirty patients with osteoarthritis of the knee (age 58.1 ± 3.9 years) were randomly assigned to three groups of ten patients. Patients in the control group received therapeutic exercises; the sham taping group received therapeutic exercise and sham taping; and the kinesiotaping group received therapeutic exercises and kinesiotaping.
Results. Subjects’ knee pain decreased by an average of two points after the interventions (p <0.05) in all three groups. Results of “Up and go” test improved significantly in the sham taping and kinesiotaping groups. The results of the 10-meter walking test improved significantly in the kinesiotaping group. Thigh muscle strength improved after the interventions (p <0.05) in all three groups. Knee range of motion significantly improved only in the kinesiotaping group.
Conclusions. All three interventions significantly reduced subjects’ knee pain and increased thigh muscle strength, but kinesiotaping significantly improved subjects’ functional mobility.
Keywords: knee osteoarthritis, kinesiotaping, therapeutic exercises, sham taping, pain.

Published: May 2022

Aim. To determine and compare short and long-term effects of mobilization with movement and eccentric overload to hand pain and function in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
Problem of research & hypothesis. The eccentric overload exercises are one of the best methods in tendinopathy treatment. Mobilization with movement is largely used as an effective treatment method for lateral epicondylitis. Only the short-term effects of these methods in lateral epicondylitis are often evaluated, but no studies were found to use these methods in combination and to evaluate their long-term effects.
Methods. The study included individuals (n=30) aged 30–54 years who had been diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis. Subjects were tested by assessing their perceived pain using the visual analogue scale (VAS); handgrip strength was assessed by a dynamometer. The QuickDASH questionnaire was used to assess hand function and perceived disability.
Subjects were randomly divided into three groups: mobilization with movement group (n=10), eccentric overload group (n=10), and combined group (combined mobilization with movement and eccentric overload exercises) (n=10). All subjects got 10 physiotherapy procedures, short-term effect evaluated after 10 procedures of physiotherapy, long-term effect evaluated after 2, 6 and 12 weeks post treatment course.
Results. Study results revealed that all treatment methods had a significant (p<0.05) effect on pain reduction, increase in handgrip strength as well as improvement in hand function and disability.
In follow-up assessments at 2, 6 and 12 weeks after the treatment, the most altered indicators of pain intensity, pain-free handgrip strength and hand function were seen in the mobilization with movement group.
Conclusions. An application of mobilization with movement in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis had the greatest positive effect on pain intensity, maximum handgrip strength and hand function and disability compared to mobilization with movement combined with eccentric overload and eccentric overload exercises alone.
Keywords: lateral epicondylitis, mobilization with movement, eccentric overload, pain intensity, hand pain-free grip strength.
Daily Inhaled Corticosteroids Treatment Abolishes Airway Hyperresponsiveness to Mannitol in Defence and Police Recruits

Published: May 2022

BackgroundAirway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a key pathophysiological feature of asthma and causes exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Indirect bronchial provocation tests (BPTs) (e.g., exercise, mannitol) aid to diagnose asthma and identify EIB. Daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) can abolish AHR caused by indirect stimuli. Where strenuous physical exertion is integral to an occupation, identification of those at risk of EIB is important and documentation of inhibition of AHR with ICS is required before recruitment.Methods/ObjectivesA retrospective analysis was performed on 155 potential recruits with AHR to mannitol who underwent follow-up assessment after daily ICS treatment to determine the proportion that can abolish AHR using ICS and to determine any predictors of the persistence of AHR.ResultsAirway hyperresponsiveness was abolished in the majority (84%, n = 130) over the treatment period (mean ± SD 143 ± 72days), and it was defined as the provoking dose of mannitol to cause a 15% fall in FEV1 (cumulative inhaled dose of mannitol to cause 15% fall in FEV1, PD15) improved from (GeoMean) 183 to 521 mg. Compared with recruits in whom AHR was abolished with daily ICS (i.e., no 15% fall in FEV1 to the maximum cumulative dose of mannitol of 635 mg), in those where AHR remained (16%, n = 25), baseline AHR was more severe (PD15: 85 mg vs. 213 mg, P &lt; 0.001), baseline FEV1% was lower (89 vs. 96%; 95%CI:2–12, P=0.004), and they had a longer follow-up duration (180 vs. 136 days; 13–74, P = 0.006). Baseline FEV1% (adjusted odds ratio 0.85; 95%CI:0.77–0.93), FEV1/FVC (0.78; 0.67–0.90), FEF25−75% (1.15; 1.06–1.25), and airway reactivity to mannitol (%Fall/cumulative dose of mannitol multiplied by 100) (1.07; 1.03–1.11) predicted AHR remaining after daily ICS.ConclusionAirway hyperresponsiveness to mannitol can be abolished after 20 weeks of daily treatment with ICS. Inhibition of AHR is likely due to attenuation of airway inflammation in response to ICS treatment. Increased airway reactivity and lower spirometry variables predicted the persistence of AHR. Thus, those with a slower response to daily ICS on AHR can potentially be identified at the commencement of monitoring ICS using inhaled mannitol.

BackgroundProtease resistance is considered a risk factor for allergenicity of proteins, although the correlation is low. It is nonetheless a part of the weight-of-evidence approach, proposed by Codex, for assessing the allergenicity risk of novel food proteins. Susceptibility of proteins to pepsin is commonly tested with purified protein in solution.ObjectiveFood proteins are rarely consumed in purified form. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of experimental and endogenous food matrices on protease susceptibility of homologous protein pairs with different degrees of allergenicity.MethodsPorcine and shrimp tropomyosin (ST) were subjected to sequential exposure to amylase, pepsin, and pancreatin in their respective endogenous matrix (pork tenderloin/boiled shrimp) and in three different experimental matrices (dessert mousse [DM], soy milk [SM], and chocolate bar [CB]). Digestion was monitored by immunoblotting using tropomyosin-specific antibodies. Recombinant peach and strawberry lipid transfer protein were biotinylated, spiked into both peach and strawberry fruit pulp, and subjected to the same sequential digestion protocol. Digestion was monitored by immunoblotting using streptavidin for detection.ResultsChocolate bar, and to a lesser extent SM, had a clear protective effect against pepsin digestion of porcine tropomyosin (PT) and to a lesser extent of ST. Increased resistance was associated with increased protein content. Spiking experiments with bovine serum albumin (BSA) confirmed the protective effect of a protein-rich matrix. The two tropomyosins were both highly resistant to pepsin in their protein-rich and lean native food matrix. Pancreatin digestion remained rapid and complete, independent of the matrix. The fat-rich environment did not transfer protection against pepsin digestion. Spiking of recombinant peach and strawberry lipid transfer proteins into peach and strawberry pulp did not reveal any differential protective effect that could explain differences in allergenicity of both fruits.ConclusionsProtein-rich food matrices delay pepsin digestion by saturating the protease. This effect is most apparent for proteins that are highly pepsin susceptible in solution. The inclusion of food matrices does not help in understanding why some proteins are strong primary sensitizers while homologs are very poor allergens. Although for induction of symptoms in food allergic patients (elicitation), a protein-rich food matrix that may contribute to increased risk, our results indicate that the inclusion of food matrices in the weight-of-evidence approach for estimating the potential risks of novel proteins to become allergens (sensitization), is most likely of very limited value.

Published: May 2022

Recycling plastic waste has been one of the most significant challenges in the recent decade. The reuse of one of the most produced cellular plastics (i.e. EPS) within a conventional construction binder can contribute, simultaneously, to waste elimination and improving energy performances of the building envelopes. This work investigates the recycling of expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste within a cement-based matrix. The aim is to develop a lightweight, energy-efficient composite for eco-construction. Portland cement was mixed with a small amount of gypsum (4 wt%) before adding EPS aggregates ranging from 0–0.6 wt%. The thermal properties were determined using two different non-destructive methods, the transient plane source technique (Hot Disk Method) and the Flash method. The experimental results showed a remarkable decrease of 54, 12, and 36% in thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and density, respectively. These results indicate the improvement of thermal resistance of EPS-cement-gypsum- mixes. In addition, water absorption and compressive tests revealed that cement-based composites containing EPS beads have improved durability and can be used for structural and insulation purposes. Finally, Numerical results indicated that energy savings of up to 18% may be achieved by applying produced waste-based mortar, underscoring the promise of using this product for building energy efficiency benefits.
MLKL Regulates Rapid Cell Death-independent HMGB1 Release in RSV Infected Airway Epithelial Cells
Authors: Simpson Jennifer , Spann Kirsten M. , Phipps Simon 
Published: May 2022

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced bronchiolitis is a significant contributor to infant morbidity and mortality. Previously, we identified that necroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of cell death mediated by receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain like protein (MLKL), occurs in RSV-infected human airway epithelial cells (hAECs), mediating the release of the alarmin high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Here, we show that RSV infection of hAECs induces the biphasic release of HMGB1 at 6 (“early”) and 24 (“late”) hours post infection (hpi). The early phase of HMGB1 release at 6 hpi is cell death-independent, however, this release is nonetheless attenuated by inhibition of MLKL (primarily associated with necroptosis). The early release of HMGB1 promotes the late phase of HMGB1 release via the activation of RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts) and occurs with cell death. Treatment of hAECS with exogenous HMGB1 combined with a pan-caspase inhibitor induces hAEC necroptosis, and is attenuated by the RAGE antagonist, FPS-ZM1. Together, these findings demonstrate that RSV infection of hAECs leads to the early release of HMGB1, followed by a paracrine feed-forward amplification loop that further increases HMGB1 levels and promotes cell death. As the inhibition of MLKL or targeting of HMGB1/RAGE pathway attenuates the release of pro-inflammatory HMGB1 and decreases viral load, this suggests that the pharmacological targeting of these pathways may be of benefit for the treatment of severe RSV bronchiolitis.

Spiro-OMeTAD is the well-known hole transporting material (HTM) in perovskite solar cells. In this work, its derivatives, namely four D-A shaped triphenylamine or biphenylamine endcapped indenone spirofluorene (SFD-TPA, SFD-OMeTPA, SFD-TAD, and SFD-OMeTAD), were designed and synthesized. With the introduction of electron-donating moieties and the extension of conjugation length, a series of changes in photophysical and electrochemical properties could be detected. Notably, in comparison with the optical gap (2.96 eV) of the reported spiro-OMeTAD, SFD-OMeTAD presents an optical gap as low as 1.87 eV. Moreover, density functional theory simulations were employed to further investigate their geometric and electronic structures. Finally, steady-state photoluminescence measurements proved the efficient charge separation and collection processes at the perovskite/HTM interface. It can be predicted that all four compounds with enhanced sunlight absorption capability and suitable frontier energy levels can be used as hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells.
