Cardiac manifestations of sarcoidosis
Authors: Gorajek Anna , Kudan Małgorzata , Mikut Karolina 
Published: July 2022

Introduction and purpose: Sarcoidosis is a chronic, multi-system inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Due to the varied clinical picture of patients, the diagnosis of the disease is complicated, especially when the heart is affected.The aim of this article is to review the available diagnostic tools used for the diagnosis, evaluation and monitoring of patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis.
Description of the state of knowledge: Sarcoidosis may affect any organ, but in particular lungs, skin, lymph nodes, eyes, liver and spleen. The most common manifestations are persistent cough, skin changes, visual disturbances, peripheral lymphadenopathy, fatigue and incidental abnormal chest radiograph. Cardiac sarcoidosis, occurring in about 5% of patients, is clinically significant with a wide range of symptoms including conduction abnormalities, ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure and sudden death. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis is challenging and often requires a combined approach using clinical data and advanced imaging. Invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests are helpful in assessing the severity of heart involvement, with non-invasive tests becoming increasingly important, due to low sensitivity (30%) and high complication rate of endomyocardial biopsy for the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis.
Summary: Sarcoidosis significantly increases the mortality of patients and furthermore causes impaired quality of life and disability. Attempts to accurately assess the development of disease provide a more comprehensive and personalized care for patients. Especially cardiac sarcoidosis, as a potentially life-threatening localization, requires early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Introduction and purpose of the work: Hoarseness is a symptom of a disease characterized by a hoarse, tense or hoarse voice resulting from disturbance of the vibration of the vocal folds. It is a common symptom of the disease in patients during medical consultations in primary health care, and the causes of its occurrence can be varied.
State of knowledge (brief description): Treating hoarseness depends on what causes it. For this reason, during the diagnosis, various causes that may be the cause of hoarseness should be taken into account, such as infections, structural changes caused by the use of the voice organ, psychogenic causes, autoimmune diseases, systemic diseases or neoplastic diseases.
Summary: In-depth diagnosis and an interdisciplinary approach are necessary to identify the cause of chronic hoarseness and initiate effective treatment.
DOCUMENTANDO A SUPERDIVERSIDADE – O CONTRIBUTO DA DIALECTOLOGIA E INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM ATLAS LINGUÍSTICO DE MOÇAMBIQUE
Authors: Henriksen Sarita Monjane 
Published: July 2022

Num mundo cada vez mais globalizado e caracterizado por uma grande mobilidade e movimentos populacionais, observa-se, como consequências inevitáveis, a formação de sociedades marcadas por uma crescente diversidade linguístico-cultural, ou por aquilo que Vertovec (2007) chama de superdiversidade. A existência de sociedades plurais apresenta desafios de vária ordem para as sociedades, em geral, e para os sistemas escolares, em particular. Neste âmbito, urge, portanto, recorrer a uma abordagem interdisciplinar, que exige um papel mais pró-activo das disciplinas de Sociolinguística, Dialectologia, assim como da Planificação e Política Linguística. Este artigo defende a necessidade de revisitar as teorias e métodos sociolinguísticos, da dialectologia e da geolinguística, de forma a melhor compreender a paisagem linguística moçambicana em constante mudança, no Século XXI, permitindo, dessa forma, identificar com maior precisão as variedades linguísticas presentes no território moçambicano, a variação resultante da coabitação e do contacto linguístico e construir um atlas linguístico actualizado de Moçambique. O principal argumento apresentado é que o recurso a inquéritos dialectológicos, o uso de métodos básicos de recolha de dados, que incluem os dados demográficos dos informantes, a idade, nível de escolarização e ocupação, assim como o período de residência numa determinada área e padrões de deslocação ou mudança de residência, bem como o recurso a uma abordagem de observação mais naturalística, com um enfoque mais descritivo sobre as comunidades de prática e redes sociais são fundamentais para permitir a construção de um mapa linguístico e dialectológico de Moçambique, que apresenta claramente a distribuição de variedades linguísticas existentes ou emergentes, os sotaques, os dialectos sociais e regionais, desta forma descrevendo a relação intrínseca entre a sociedade e o uso da língua.
Using prosocial behavior to safeguard mental health and foster emotional well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic: A registered report of a randomized trial

Published: July 2022

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic, the accompanying lockdown measures, and their possible long-term effects have made mental health a pressing public health concern. Acts that focus on benefiting others—known as prosocial behaviors—offer one promising intervention that is both flexible and low cost. However, neither the range of emotional states prosocial acts impact nor the size of those effects is currently clear—both of which directly influence its attractiveness as a treatment option.

Objective
To assess the effect of prosocial activity on emotional well-being (happiness, belief that one’s life is valuable) and mental health (anxiety, depression).

Methods
1,234 respondents from the United States and Canada were recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and randomly assigned (by computer software) to perform prosocial (N = 411), self-focused (N = 423), or neutral (N = 400) behaviors three times a week for three weeks. A follow-up assessment was given two weeks after the intervention. Participants were blind to alternative conditions. Analyses were based on 1052 participants (Nprosocial = 347, Nself = 365, Nneutral = 340).

Findings
Those in the prosocial condition did not differ on any outcome from those in the self-focused or neutral acts conditions during the intervention or at follow-up, nor did prosocial effects differ for those who had been negatively affected socially or economically by the pandemic (all p’s > 0.05). Exploratory analyses that more tightly controlled for study compliance found that prosocial acts reduced anxiety relative to neutral acts control (β = -0.12 [95% CI: -0.22 to -0.02]) and increased the belief that one’s life is valuable (β = 0.11 [95% CI: 0.03 to 0.19]). These effects persisted throughout the intervention and at follow-up.

Conclusion
Prosocial acts may provide small, lasting benefits to emotional well-being and mental health. Future work should replicate these results using tighter, pre-registered controls on study compliance.

Aim. To assess the retention of theoretical knowledge of internal medicine and practical skills in 6-year students of the Department of General Medicine 5-6 months after the exam.Material and methods. Knowledge retention in internal medicine was assessed by testing on 11 topics (233 questions), while practical skills was analyzed by the results of electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation and the clinical case task in 48 students.Results. The following internal medicine sections with a high and very high retention rate of theoretical knowledge (average, 59,1%) were identified: gastroenterology and hematology. One section with a low retention rate was identified (emergency endocrinology) (27,5%). Retention of practical skills was high in ECG interpretation (5 points) and low (2,3-3,5 points) in solving clinical case task.Conclusion. The results obtained showed that the educational process in a medical university should have hybrid forms of organization, including technologies and methods of distance and compulsory inperson education, even during a pandemic. This implies the analysis and deep processing of programs focused on the redistribution of different sections between distance and in-person forms of education.

Aim. To assess the quality of research and practice (RP) events using telemedicine technologies (TMT) at the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine, implemented in 2021 during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Material and methods. At the end of RP events using TMT in 2021, the observers were asked to fill out the checklist “Quality of RP events using TMT” in a digital survey form no later than 3 days from the date of the event. The questionnaire consisted of 19 questions on the content and organizational part of the event, each of which was asked to answer “yes” or “no”. Further, cluster analysis of the responses received was performed with subsequent scoring according to the cluster rank. For each positive answer, points were awarded according to the proper cluster (range): 1 point (bad) — proportion of “yes” is from 0 to 20%; 2 points — from 20 to 40%; 3 points (satisfactory) — from 40 to 60%; 4 points (good) — from 60 to 80%; 5 points (excellent) — >80%. To evaluate the final result of events’ quality, based on the developed integrated approach, a scale was used where the total score of 90 or more corresponds to an excellent rating, 8589 — good, 80-84 — satisfactory, less than 80 — bad. Statistical analysis, accumulation, adjustment, systematization of initial data and visualization of the obtained results were carried out in Microsoft Office Excel 2021 spreadsheet software.Results. In total, in 2021, 157 RP events were implemented using TMT, in which 24277 individual and group connections were recorded, as a result of which 3359 checklists were fully completed. The analysis of obtained answers showed the total score of 92, which corresponds to an excellent rating.Conclusion. The assessment of the quality of RP events using TMT at the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine, implemented in 2021 in the context of a COVID-19 pandemic, showed that the these activities have an excellent quality rating. At the same time, the totality of RP events can be considered as an integral system, and its quality should be considered as the correspondence of events’ organization and content to the expected needs of trained doctors.

Aim. To evaluate the quality of education activities conducted using telemedicine technologies and identify most significant factors affecting satisfaction from its participation.Material and methods. An analysis was made of 2039 questionnaires filled out by observers after educational events. A specially designed questionnaire or checklist consisted of 21 questions concerning the following three main components of the quality of education events: the technical aspect, the content, and the affective evaluation. Digital questionnaires were filled in by observers on the website of the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine after educational events. Statistical data processing were carried out using Excel Microsoft Office.Results. The correlation analysis showed that for developing satisfaction from participation in the educational event (conformity with expectations) for an observer, the most important is the lecture content (r=0,41), how much the lecture helps solving urgent professional issues of physicians (r=0,35), accessibility of the material, communication skills and mastery of the subject matter by the lecturer (r=0,28), structure and logic of the material presentation (r=0,27). Among the significant factors (r=0,23-0,17), we can also highlight the assistance provided by the organizers to resolve various issues, the atmosphere of cooperation and assistance, as well as the completeness of answers to questions from the chat. The lowest value (r=0,16-0,12) has difficulties during registration, the time limits of the event, the availability of preliminary information on the site, the relevance of data presented, the presence of annotations, the quality of communication, visual material and its relevance. Participation of leading experts to conduct educational events is a key indicator of quality, since respondents noted that the availability, statefulness, logical presentation of the material and the communication skills of a speaker are essential establishing audience loyalty.Conclusion. The results obtained will improve the process of managing educational events held by the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine using telemedicine technologies, and improve their quality.

Published: July 2022

Aim. To analyze studies on the influence of digital environment on cognitive development of schoolchildren and students.Material and methods. To achieve this aim, pedagogical research methods were used, which include work with literature on the stated topic, analysis of their content, logical generalization, citation, bibliographic listing, and annotation were used. An important role was played by generalization method and identification of patterns of longterm digital environment influence on a person.Results. An analysis of the literature has shown that digital environment influence on cognitive development of schoolchildren and students is the subject of research by many authors. One group of scientists considers the digital environment to be a neutral factor in relation to younger generation cognitive function. But, in parallel, studies are being conducted in which scientists has the opposite position. This group includes Russian and Western scientists from Harvard, Oxford, Manchester, Sydney Universities and King’s College London. Over the past twenty years, from 1998 to 2018, they have conducted studies on the impact of electronic devices and the Internet on cognitive functions of the younger generation. In total, 139 papers were published, in which the authors studied the effect of digital environment on cognitive changes from the standpoint of psychology, psychiatry, neurobiology, and other sciences. These studies proved that digital environment affects, first of all, the change in the brain, which acts as a bioplatform for the formation of cognitive functions in schoolchildren and students. And a change in cognitive functions cannot but affect the cognitive processes of attention, memory, thinking, as well as the skills necessary for cognition.Conclusion. The presented data from Russian and foreign studies revealed facts proving that the digital environment is a factor that changes the cognitive development in children, adolescents and students. The use of the Internet as an ultra-easy way to obtain information leads to the fact that a person blurs the boundaries between his own capabilities and the capabilities of electronic devices, attributing to himself their superpowers.

Abstrak: Sebagai desa yang sebagian besar penduduknya petani, Gogodeso kaya akan sayur-sayuran, antara lain kacang panjang. Akan tetapi karena ragam olahan kacang panjang yang relatif sedikit, kacang panjang memiliki nilai jual yang relatif rendah. Sementara kacang panjang merupakan sumber vit A, mineral kalsium dan fosfor, dan lain-lain yang diperlukan tubuh. Artinya kacang panjang memiliki banyak manfaat bagi tubuh kita. Berdasarkan data lapangan tersebut tim Kegiatan Pengabdian Gogodeso berinisiatif untuk membuat karya pengabdian berupa video edukasi pembuatan nugget kacang panjang dalam bentuk nugget, diharapkan kacang panjang dapat dinikmati mulai anak-anak hingga orang dewasa. Karya pengabdian tersebut terdiri atas serangkaian tahap mulai dari observasi, pengolahan, uji coba varian rasa, evaluasi hingga tahap akhir yakni edukasi ke warga desa. Dampak yang diharapkan dari karya pengabdian tersebut adalah meningkatnya pemahaman warga desa terhadap ragam olahan kacang panjang terutama nugget kacang panjang dan manfaatnya. Abstract: As a village with many of its population works as a farmer, Gogodeso is rich in vegetables such as asparagus bean. However, due to the relatively low variety of asparagus bean's product, asparagus bean has relatively low selling value. Based on that data, we took initiative to carry out a social service program that aims to educate the villagers to produce a nugget variety from asparagus bean. In doing so, we use video as a medium of education. The program consists of several steps such as observation, experimentation, trials, evaluation and the final step of education to the villagers. We expect the program to raise villagers’ awareness of the varieties of product from asparagus beans especially asparagus bean nuggets.

Published: July 2022

Abstrak: Desa Ringinsari terletak di Kecamatan Sumbermanjing Wetan, Kabupaten Malang. Kecamatan Sumbermanjing Wetan karena terletak di wilayah pegunungan dan dataran laut maka memiliki potensi yang sangat berlimpah, baik itu komoditas pertaniatan maupun kelautan. Potensi Komoditas pertanian antara lain tebu, jagung, kelapa, ubi, kayu jati, kayu mahoni, kayu sengon, dan tanaman obat. Komoditas peternakan antara lain sapi, kambing, ayam, kerbau, entok, kuda. Sementara komoditas perikanan terdapat budidaya lele yang sedang di kembangkan oleh warga Desa Ringinsari. Permasalahan yang sering terjadi ialah terus meningkatnya harga pakan lele yang tidak sejalan dengan harga jualnya dan minimnya pengetahuan warga Desa Ringinsari akan pemanfaatan bahan lokal sebagai alternatif pangan. Tujuannya agar pembudidaya dapat mencapai perbandingan antara berat pakan ikan yang sudah diberikan dalam siklus periode tertentu, dengan berat total (biomass) yang dihasilkan / FCR (Food Convertion Ratio) dengan baik dan maksimal. Metode yang digunakan yaitu dengan memberikan sosialisasi dengan menghadirkan pembicara yang berasal dari dina perikanan dan melakukan diskusi pembuatan alternatif pakan serta pemanfaatan bahan lokal sebagai bahan baku yang akan digunakan nantinya. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh, banyak pembudidaya mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan akan cara pembuatan alternatif pakan ikan lele. Abstract: Ringinsari Village is located in Sumbermanjing Wetan District, Malang Regency. Sumbermanjing Wetan District because it is located in a mountainous area and sea plains, it has very abundant potential, both agricultural and marine commodities. Potential agricultural commodities include sugar cane, corn, coconut, sweet potato, teak wood, mahogany wood, sengon wood, and medicinal plants. Livestock commodities include cows, goats, chickens, buffaloes, ducks, horses. While the fishery commodity is catfish cultivation which is being developed by the residents of Ringinsari Village. The problem that often occurs is that the price of catfish feed continues to increase which is not in line with the selling price and the lack of knowledge of Ringinsari Village residents about the use of local ingredients as alternative food. The goal is that cultivators can achieve a good and maximum comparison between the weight of fish feed that has been given in a certain period cycle, and the total weight (biomass) produced / FCR (Food Conversion Ratio). The method used is to provide socialization by presenting speakers from the fisheries department and discussing the manufacture of alternative feeds and the use of local materials as raw materials that will be used later. Based on the results obtained, many farmers have increased knowledge of how to make alternative catfish feeds.

Abstrak: Industri tahu saat ini menjadi industri yang banyak sekali dijumpai pada rumah tangga di Indonesia. Tahu merupakan hasil fermentasi kedelai yang diambil sarinya. Banyak kandungan zat yang dibutuhkan oleh tubuh yang diperoleh dari. Selain dari tahu ternyata limpah padat atau ampas tahu juga memiliki kandungan protein yang tidak kalah dari tahu itu sendiri. Namun kenyataannya ampas tahu hanya digunakan untuk pakan ternak oleh sebagian pemilik industri tahu di Desa Gedogwetan ataupun Tempe Gembus dan juga hanya dibuang percuma yangmana nantinya akan menimbulkan masalah baru yakni pencemaran lingkungan. Sehingga kelompok mahasiswa UM MBKM Membangun Desa Gedogwetan memiliki inovasi untuk membuat ampas tahu menjadi produk yang memiliki nilai jual lebih yaitu Kerupuk Ampas Tahu. Metode yang digunakan dalam proses penyampaian inovasi dalam pengabdian ini adalah sosialisasi dan praktik secara langsung bersama dengan ibu PKK Desa Gedogwetan. Selain menambah penghasilan bagi pemilik industri tahu juga menjadi peluang terciptanya laparangan pekerjaan baru bagi masyarakat Desa Gedogwetan. Abstract: The tofu industry is currently an industry that is often found in households in Indonesia. Tofu is the product of fermented soybeans from which the juice is extracted. Many substances that are needed by the body are obtained from. Apart from tofu, it turns out that it is abundantly dense or tofu dregs also has a protein content that is not inferior to tofu itself. However, in reality, the tofu dregs are only used for animal feed by some owners of the tofu industry in Gedogwetan or Tempe Gembus Villages and are also only thrown away, which will later cause a new problem, namely environmental pollution. So that the UM MBKM student group Building Gedogwetan Village has an innovation to make tofu dregs into a product that has more selling value, namely Tofu Dregs Crackers. The method used in the process of delivering innovation in this service is direct socialization and practice with PKK women in Gedogwetan Village. In addition to increasing income for the owners of the tofu industry, it is also an opportunity to create new job opportunities for the people of Gedogwetan Village.
