Early Children Education Based on Local Culture

Indonesia, one of the countries known and recognized by the world as a country with character and culture. Attention to the importance of naming culture in early childhood has been increasingly seen in the curriculum of early childhood education, in the profile of Pancasila students where there is a global diversity character, students including early childhood are expected to have a great love for Indonesian culture but still have thoughts open to interacting with foreign cultures. The purpose of this study is to explain the importance of learning early childhood education based on local culture. The method used is in the form of literature review with data sources obtained from articles, journals, books and other written works. The results of the study show that learning local culture in early childhood is very important, especially for early childhood development, besides that introducing local culture from an early age will form children with polite personalities, have a strong spirit of nationalism and will be able to be open-minded towards other cultures. As for cultural learning in early childhood can be done by introducing the closest cultural values such as the introduction of art, food, clothing, language, games, traditional house buildings. In addition, collaboration between parents, school/community, and local government is very important for the ongoing learning of local culture in early childhood.
Treatment adherence and quality of life of patients taking antihypertensive medications

Background: Hypertension as The Silent Killer characterized by blood pressure ≥140 mmHg/≥90 mmHg. Hypertensive people have lower quality of life compare to non-hypertensive people and they need an appropriate health behavior. Hypertensive medication without lifestyle modification and routine control of blood pressure increase cardiovascular complication even death that affecting quality of lifePurpose: To identify the characteristic and the dominant health behavior affecting quality of life among hypertensive farmer. Method: The minimum sample 103 hypertensive farmer ≥18 years old in Gunung Agung Village, Terusan Nunyai District, Central Lampung include in this cross sectional study after measuring the blood pressure. The data was taken by interviewing the participants using health seeking behavior questionnaire and Short Form-36, then multivariate analysis was performed using binary logistic regression.Results: A total of 103 hypertensive farmer dominant in the 1st grade of hypertension (63,2%), male (56,3%), 45-54 years old (35%), primary school as the last education background (45,6%), income rates ≤7 million/year (68%), and don’t take anti-hypertensive medications regularly (98,1%). Preventive and curative treatment as part of treatment efforts were the most dominant variable affecting quality of life (p=0,023; OR=0,096; CI=0,028-0,327). Conclusion: Quality of life of hypertension farmers was significantly related to attitude towards health (p=0.001; OR=0.218; CI=5.76-42.34), treatment effort (p=0.001; OR=1.86; CI=0.09-0 ,54), first time of treatment (p=0,001; OR=8,473; CI=3,10-23,17), and frequency of examination (p=0,023; OR=14,426; CI=5,81-40,16), where treatment efforts such as routine blood pressure control and taking anti-hypertensive drugs can improve quality of life (OR=4.208).
Reactive Transport Modeling of Brine Reflux: Dolomitization, Anhydrite Precipitation, and Porosity Evolution

Abstract Both geothermal convection and brine reflux drive circulation of sea-water- derived fluids through carbonate platforms during early burial, but dynamic interactions between heat and solute transport and resulting diagenesis are at present poorly understood. This paper describes high-resolution reactive transport model (RTM) simulations that suggest that reflux of 85 ppt brines rapidly restricts geothermal convection to the platform margin, with flow focused in the more permeable shallow carbonates. In a baseline simulation, involving an elongate, 25-km-wide grain-dominated packstone platform, brine reflux resulted in complete dolomitization beneath the 5-km-wide brine pool in 335 ky. The dolomite body then extends downward at c. 22 m/100 ky into an underlying broad area of partial dolomitization. This process enhances porosity at shallow depth, but beneath the dolomite body precipitation of anhydrite occludes porosity and limits the depth of reflux. In contrast, geothermal convection at the platform margin forms a smaller partially dolomitized body over a longer time (< 60% dolomite after 1 My), with very minor associated anhydrite cementation. Reflux diagenesis is sensitive to platform geometry, with higher rates of fluid flow increasing the depth of alteration beneath the brine pool for a circular platform compared to the linear baseline. Fluid flow across thermal gradients enhances reaction rates, and ignoring heat transport by 85 ppt brine reflux underestimates the extent of reflux dolomite by 25% and associated anhydrite by 90%. The depth and rate of anhydritization is sensitive to the geothermal heat flux, whereas platform-top temperatures affect dolomitization rate. Reflux diagenesis is also sensitive to brine density, which affects both fluid flow and reaction rates. Sediment permeability and reactive surface area (RSA) are key intrinsic controls on diagenesis. Where the permeability structure permits sufficient fluid flow, diagenesis preferentially affects more reactive fine-grained sediments. However, as flow rates decline, reactions become focused in the more permeable but less reactive sediments. Simulations thus shed light on why in some settings reflux preferentially dolomitizes muddy sediments, but elsewhere favors grainstones. Once active reflux ceases, brines continue to flow in the subsurface, but this “latent reflux” causes only minor dolomitization due to prior Mg2+ consumption at shallow depth.
Digital Frontiers: Investigating the Impact of Online Teaching Engagement on Thai Teachers’ Self-Efficacy and Burnout amid the Covid-19 Pandemic

This study aims to investigate experienced Thai teachers’ experiences of burnout during online teaching and learning, and examine how teachers’ self-efficacy and burnout levels impact their teaching performance. The research concerns differences in perceptions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment/assessment, teachers’ self-efficacy, and online teaching performance among teachers in Thailand. The sample selection was conducted using a stratified random sampling technique. Data collection involved self-reported surveys from 243 elementary, secondary, and vocational schoolteachers in metropolitan areas and Thailand’s north, northeast, east, and south regions. MANOVA and correlation analysis were employed to analyze burnout, teachers’ self-efficacy, and teaching performance. The results indicated differences in online teaching performance and teachers’ self-efficacy between two groups: high-risk and moderate-to-low risk of burnout. Teachers with a low risk of burnout demonstrated higher self-efficacy and better performance during online teaching. The study identified two burnout subscales—emotional exhaustion and depersonalization—originally included in the Maslach’s burnout inventory. However, we also incorporated teachers’ online teaching performance into the assessment, necessitating modifying the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Regarding implications, we recommend practical applications in policy improvements related to teachers’ mental support and reducing burnout causes while enhancing online teaching performance.
COMPARISON OF BUPIVACAINE ALONE AND BUPIVACAINE PLUS LIDOCAINE IN SUPRACLAVICULAR BLOCK UNDER ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of bupivacaine alone versus bupivacaine combined with lidocaine in patients undergoing ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block. Specifically, the study focused on the onset time and duration of the block effect. The study was designed as a retrospective study in the anesthesia room of the operation theater of Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, from 2nd November 2021 to 1st May 2022. A total of 200 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Prior to the intervention, patients were given midazolam (2mg) to help alleviate anxiety. The participants were then divided into two groups, with 100 patients in each group. Group A received bupivacaine 20 ml (5 mg/ml), while Group B received bupivacaine 10 ml (5 mg/ml) in combination with lidocaine 10 ml (20 mg/ml). The onset and block effect times were recorded in a Performa and subjected to statistical analysis. The results of the study showed that the mean block onset time in Group A (bupivacaine alone) was 9.4±1.34 minutes, while in Group B (bupivacaine plus lidocaine), the mean block onset time was 5.4±0.83 minutes (p=0.000). A comparison of the mean block effect time revealed that in Group A, the mean block effect time was 4±1.34 minutes, while in Group B, the mean block effect time was 6±0.83 minutes. This difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.000). In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the combination of bupivacaine plus lidocaine was significantly associated with a shorter block onset time and a longer block effect time compared to bupivacaine alone.

Quality and Quantity of the Scientific Information Available on Black-Backed Jackals and Caracals: Contributing to Human—Predator Conflict Management?

Black-backed jackals, Canis mesomelas, and caracals, Caracal caracal, are meso-carnivores impacting the livestock and game farming (wildlife ranching) industries in southern Africa. Many efforts to manage the impact of these predators are unsuccessful and no meaningful, or effective, long-term management programme has been formulated over any large area (spanning more than a single farm or a group of neighbouring farms) throughout their southern African range. This paper reports on the scientific information available on the ecology of black-backed jackals and caracals to evaluate the nature of current knowledge of these species in order to prioritize research for the development of meaningful human—predator conflict management (HPCM) strategies. From a HPCM perspective, it is evident that published field studies on black-backed jackals and caracals in southern Africa are limited in scope, spatially and temporally isolated, and generally old (appearing prior to 2005). Most studies were also mainly conducted in protected areas, with little information from farming areas. Significant ecological questions, relevant to HPCM are highlighted by our study. These questions include studying whether or not black-backed jackal and caracal territoriality persists under rangeland conditions? ; Have the two predators ‘learned’ to predate on introduced livestock or wildlife? ; Has reproductive behaviour changed under rangeland conditions? ; and, Is compensatory breeding observed under rangeland conditions? Answers to these questions will undoubtedly contribute to the formulation of more effective HPCM strategies.
Physico-Chemical and Microbiological Study of Tehri Dam Reservoir, Garhwal Himalaya, India

In the present study physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of the water of Tehri dam reservoir in the Garhwal Himalaya of India were determined during June 2003 through May 2005 when the reservoir was under construction, and was 5 km long and 40 m deep having an area of 2.2 sq km, and is located at 30o23' N latitude, 78o 29'E longitude and 635 m altitude at monthly intervals during June 2003 through May 2005 with an objective to estimate the impact of the reservoir on various physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of the water. Total solids, total suspended solids, total solids, turbidity and sulphate values were maximum on all the sites in rainy months, which may be due to the gradual disturbances in sedimentation of solids as well as dust particles deposited along with runoff rainwater. The alkalinity varied during different months. The values of pH, conductivity, hardness, calcium, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand were higher during summer months. The chloride concentration was highest in the month of January and the nitrate increased in the summer months and early monsoon due to the higher phytoplanktonic production. The maximum number of total coliform, faecal coliform and total plate count was observed during summer and rainy seasons and minimum during winter. (Journal of American Science 2010;6(6):65-71).

Digital wallet payment system opens new economic opportunities for MSME. This study aims to discover the intention of MSME actors in using the digital wallet payment system for their business transactions. The research was conducted at culinary MSMEs in the Tangerang region. The data analysis technique used in this study is multivariate analysis PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model). The results showed that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are factors that have a significant effect on attitudes toward use. Furthermore, the relationship between attitude and intention is significant while perceived risk reduces the level of this effect.
Evidences for Microbial Precipitation of Calcite in Speleothems from Krem Syndai in Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, India

ABSTRACT Speleothems from Krem Syndai, Meghalaya in Northeast India were studied for their microbial diversity using 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic approach and conventional microbiological techniques along with geochemistry, mineralogy and in vitro experiments to understand participation of microorganisms in CaCO3 precipitation. Speleothems imaged by scanning electron microscopy showed round coccoid-like, sporangia-like and spinose calcified structures, numerous broken cocci shells with spotted interiors inside a calcite crystal, honeycomb long reticulate, smooth, flat, twisted, ribbon-like, tubular, beaded, microbe-mineralized filaments and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Fourier spectroscopy indicated the presence of various organic compounds. δ13C and δ18O isotopic ratios of speleothems ranged from −4.65 to −7.34‰ and −3.06 to −6.80‰, respectively. Total number of microbial cells using SYBR Gold was high. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) indicated approximately 3 × 105 to 5 × 105 cells g sed–1 in the speleothems out of which the number of microbes belonging to Eubacteria ranged from 1.8 × 105 to 3.6 × 105 cells, g sed–1. FISH showed ∼45% active microbial cells of the total cell number in samples. DNA-based high-throughput amplicon sequencing revealed 19 bacterial phyla in the speleothem. Approximately 42% of the sequences were similar to Proteobacteria (Alphaproteobacteria: 22.4%, Betaproteobacteria: 8.9%, Gammaproteobacteria: 8.6%). Sequences similar to Nitrospiraceae (22.8%) had the highest proportion of sequences belonging to a single family. Bacterial strains isolated from the speleothems raised alkalinity and precipitated calcite in the laboratory cultures which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. These isolates belonged to Bacillus spp. , Actinomycetes spp. , Streptomyces spp. , Pseudomonas spp. , Micrococcus spp. , Staphylococcus spp. , Xanthobacter spp. and Arthrobacter spp. Overall, the results showed unequivocal evidence of bacterial fingerprints during CaCO3 precipitation in the cave.
Significance of Hormone Alteration Following Bariatric Surgery

The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly over the last several decades, and with its increase comes a wide variety of comorbidities, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Traditionally, diet and exercise have been prescribed for individuals to try and regain control of their weight and health status. Despite this successful method, the compliance rate is significantly below the desired amount. Over the last few decades, a new treatment has been offered to significantly decrease an individual's weight to an optimal BMI between 18 and 25 kg/m2. Bariatric surgery has been proposed to be the most appropriate treatment for obesity, and there are several different types of bariatric surgery: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), adjustable gastric band (AGB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Hormones may be significantly involved in losing and maintaining weight loss. This paper aims to evaluate hormone changes in appetite suppression, appetite activation, glycemic control, and lipid metabolism and how these impact overall weight loss concerning the most prominent surgeries. The hormones assessed were ghrelin, insulin, leptin, GLP-1, PYY, and adiponectin, and their levels before and after each surgery were compared. RYGB is one of the most successful types of bariatric surgeries, and this correlates with it having the most suppressed levels of ghrelin, insulin, and leptin following surgery with a slow return to normal. RYGB has also led to the most significant increased levels of PYY, pre- and post-prandial GLP-1, and adiponectin. Hormones following SG followed the hormone trend after RYGB but were not as prominent. BDP-DS has the highest success rate. However, numerous adverse effects have limited the amount of studies assessing the surgery. What was present was not as significant as RYGB, possibly due to manipulation.
An aerial radiological survey of the Nevada Test Site

A team from the Remote Sensing Laboratory conducted an aerial radiological survey of the US Department of Energy's Nevada Test Site including three neighboring areas during August and September 1994. The survey team measured the terrestrial gamma radiation at the Nevada Test Site to determine the levels of natural and man-made radiation. This survey included the areas covered by previous surveys conducted from 1962 through 1993. The results of the aerial survey showed a terrestrial background exposure rate that varied from less than 6 microroentgens per hour (mR/h) to 50 mR/h plus a cosmic-ray contribution that varied from 4.5 mR/h at an elevation of 900 meters (3,000 feet) to 8.5 mR/h at 2,400 meters (8,000 feet). In addition to the principal gamma-emitting, naturally occurring isotopes (potassium-40, thallium-208, bismuth-214, and actinium-228), the man-made radioactive isotopes found in this survey were cobalt-60, cesium-137, europium-152, protactinium-234m an indicator of depleted uranium, and americium-241, which are due to human actions in the survey area. Individual, site-wide plots of gross terrestrial exposure rate, man-made exposure rate, and americium-241 activity (approximating the distribution of all transuranic material) are presented. In addition, expanded plots of individual areas exhibiting these man-made contaminations are given. A comparison is made between the data from this survey and previous aerial radiological surveys of the Nevada Test Site. Some previous ground-based measurements are discussed and related to the aerial data. In regions away from man-made activity, the exposure rates inferred from the gamma-ray measurements collected during this survey agreed very well with the exposure rates inferred from previous aerial surveys.
