Analisis Hasil Pengawasan Iklan/Promosi Suplemen Kesehatan Sebelum dan Selama Masa Pandemi COVID-19

Bagi pengusaha, iklan/promosi adalah sarana untuk memperkenalkan produk, dan bagi masyarakat adalah sarana untuk medapatkan informasi mengenai suatu produk, sehingga masyarakat menjadi sangat tergantung pada iklan/promosi. Data dari BPS menunjukan terjadi lonjakan tajam penjualan online selama masa pandemi Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) yang antara lain dipengaruhi oleh kebijakan pemerintah untuk membatasi aktivitas di luar rumah. Kebutuhan suplemen kesehatan meningkat selama masa pandemi COVID-19, beberapa kali terjadi kekosongan stok karena panic buying. Momentum tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan pelaku usaha untuk mengiklankan/mempromosikan produk yang tidak sesuai ketentuan untuk meningkatkan penjualan produk, sehingga kemungkinan mengakibatkan tingkat pelanggaran iklan/promosi yang berbeda signifikan dengan sebelum pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hasil pengawasan iklan/promosi suplemen kesehatan sebelum pandemi COVID-19 (Tahun 2018-2019) dan selama pandemi COVID-19 (Tahun 2020-Juli 2021) untuk mengetahui tingkat signifikansi perbedaan pelanggaran iklan/promosi sebelum dan selama pandemi, jenis media yang paling banyak dilaporkan melanggar selama masa pandemi COVID-19, jenis pelanggaran iklan/promosi dan 5 daerah di Indonesia yang melaporkan tingkat pelanggaran terbesar. Data yang dianalisis merupakan data sekunder hasil pengawasan iklan/promosi di seluruh Indonesia yang dikumpulan dari Tahun 2018 sampai 5 September 2021, yang dipeoleh dari Direktorat Pengawasan Obat Tradisional dan Suplemen Kesehatan. Data diolah secara deskriptif dan dengan metode chi-square untuk melihat signifikansi, dengan hasil terdapat perbedaan bermakna pelanggaran iklan/promosi sebelum dan selama pandemi COVID-19, media yang yang paling banyak melakukan pelanggaran adalah media internet, dengan jenis pelanggaran tertinggi adalah mengiklankan/mempromosikan produk dengan klaim berlebihan. Dua daerah di Indonesia yang masuk dalam sepuluh daerah pelanggaran terbesar sebelum dan selama pandemi COVID-19 adalah Jakarta dan Makassar.

Co-expression Analysis to Identify Key Modules and Hub Genes Associated With COVID19 in Platelets

The severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly contagious virus that causes a severe respiratory disease known as Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID19). Indeed, COVID19 increases the risk of cardiovascular occlusive/thrombotic events and is linked to poor outcomes. The pathophysiological processes underlying COVID19-induced thrombosis are complex, and remain poorly understood. To this end, platelets play important roles in regulating our cardiovascular system, including via contributions to coagulation and inflammation. There is an ample of evidence that circulating platelets are activated in COVID19 patients, which is a primary driver of the thrombotic outcome observed in these patients. However, the comprehensive molecular basis of platelet activation in COVID19 disease remains elusive, which warrants more investigation. Hence, we employed gene co-expression network analysis combined with pathways enrichment analysis to further investigate the aforementioned issues. Our study revealed three important gene clusters/modules that were closely related to COVID19. Furthermore, enrichment analysis showed that these three modules were mostly related to platelet metabolism, protein translation, mitochondrial activity, and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as regulation of megakaryocyte differentiation, and apoptosis, suggesting a hyperactivation status of platelets in COVID19. We identified the three hub genes from each of three key modules according to their intramodular connectivity value ranking, namely: COPE, CDC37, CAPNS1, AURKAIP1, LAMTOR2, GABARAP MT-ND1, MT-ND5, and MTRNR2L12. Collectively, our results offer a new and interesting insight into platelet involvement in COVID19 disease at the molecular level, which might aid in defining new targets for treatment of COVID19–induced thrombosis.

Correlation between HbA1C and D-dimer in Type 2 Diabetic with COVID-19 Patients

Background: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is the disease caused by 2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2, a novel β corona- virus of group 2B . COVID-19 has been reported to be associated with severe condition with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). D-dimer is a by product of fibrin degradation. It is widely recognized as a biomarker for thromboembolism and as a prognostic marker for critical patients. Methods: This study uses secondary data, which is obtained by looking at the contents of patient medical records at H. Adam Malik Medan Hospital between 2020-2021. The population of this study was all inpatients confirmed COVID-19 through an RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 swab examination. The study sample was obtained by the total sampling method, where all populations that meet the criteria of inclusion and exclusion are used as research samples. Patients were triaged as per severity on basis of national guidelines: asymptomatic, Mild (respiratory rate < 24/min, SpO2 >94% at room air), moderate (respiratory rate: 24-30/min, SpO2 90-94% at room air) and severe (respiratory rate >30/min SpO2 < 90%), ARDS and septic shock [6]. HbA1c implementation using HPLC methods and D-dimer is measured by ELISA method. Result: There were 163 patients consisting of 92 men and 71 women, the average age was 56.9±10.3 years, and HbA1c, FPG and PPG remained uncontrolled. There were no differences in age parameters of blood sugar profiles and D-dimers between men and women. D-dimers are significantly negatively correlated with PPG. Conclusion: Age, blood sugar profile and D-dimer did not differ significantly between men and women, and D-dimer had a correlation significantly with PPG on T2DM with COVID-19 patients.

Evaluation of Remote Teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Case of Higher Education in Morocco

The deadly and infectious disease Corona Virus also known as Covid19, has deeply shaken the global economy. This tragedy has also affected the education sector, and this fear is likely to reverberate across the education sector universally. Various schools, colleges, and universities have discontinued in-person teaching. According to the assessment of the researchers, it is uncertain to get back to normal teaching anytime soon. Hence, social distancing is dominant at this stage, a fact that will have negative outcomes on learning opportunities. As it is stated by Stanley (2019:8), Educational units are struggling to find options to deal with this challenging situation. These circumstances make us realize that scenario planning is an urgent need for academic institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to shed light on the challenges of remote teaching during the Covid19 pandemic on teachers at the university level and to try to figure out the possible resolutions and recommendations to develop distance teaching. A questionnaire has been designed as the major data collection instrument to carry out the investigation. The respondents are university professors affiliated with public and private universities in Morocco. Concerning the findings of the study, the respondents believe that remote teaching is extremely challenging due to a variety of factors and it is not effective at all.

AVALIAÇÃO DA COBERTURA VACINAL NO BRASIL ANTES E DURANTE A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19

Introdução: O Programa Nacional de Imunização – PNI tem como objetivo reduzir os riscos de doenças prevalentes na infância. Com a situação atual de calamidade pública decretado pela pandemia da doença corona vírus 2019 (covid-19), as medidas de distanciamento social afetaram os atendimentos de vacinação de rotina e campanhas vacinais. Objetivo: Avaliação do impacto da pandemia do covid-19 na cobertura vacinal em crianças. Material e métodos: Realizou-se uma pesquisa nos sistemas de informações de imunizações e uma pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva, utilizando as bases de dados da Scielo e PubMed com os descritores: COVID-19, vaccination coverage e child health. Resultados: Segundo o PNI as coberturas vacinais no Brasil estão baixas e heterogêneas desde 2019 e os dados agravaram em 2020. Na XXII Jornada Nacional de Imunização foi apresentado que nenhuma das vacinas obtiveram a meta mínima da cobertura vacinal, de 90% ou 95% dependendo do imunobiológico, de 2019 a 2020. Os motivos da baixa cobertura vacinal estão relacionados à diminuição do acesso da população aos serviços de saúde, taxa de abandono, como também barreiras socioculturais contrárias à vacinação. Durante a pandemia, para redução da transmissibilidade da doença, houve a redução dos atendimentos presenciais, comprometendo o deslocamento da família para a vacinação, o que diminuiu a cobertura vacinal nas crianças, principalmente nas menores de 1 ano. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a pandemia trouxe desafios e prejuízos em todas as esferas do cuidado à saúde, como também na vacinação. É importante relembrar e ressaltar que a imunização é a melhor forma de prevenir doenças na infância e precisa ser realizada, evitando riscos à saúde coletiva e o retorno de doenças já controladas.
