THE ROLE OF LAND REDISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF COMMUNITY WELFARE IN WEST PASAMAN DISTRICT

Land redistribution of landreform objects was a government program to reorganize the control, and ownership of land in a just manner. West Pasaman Regency is one of the regions that implements land redistribution and encourages the use of certificates as collateral to access capital. There were 871 land redistribution certificates used for collateral in 2009 - 2018 (7.79%). West Pasaman Regency is currently in the fourth position with the highest number of poor people in West Sumatra Province. This study aims to analyze the effect of capital utilization on public welfare. The methods of analysis used were quantitative with surveys and the data analysis technique used was a correlation. In general, the majority (75%) of utilization of land redistribution certificates to obtain loans were related to agricultural activities. The role of certificate collateralization in reducing poverty was indicated by the slight drop of poverty proportion from 12% before the use of land-certificate for obtaining loan to 7% afterwards. The relationship between expenditure before and expenditure after additional capital from land certificate appears significant.
Application of quantitative protein mass spectrometric data in the early predictive analysis of membrane-bound target engagement by monoclonal antibodies

ABSTRACT Model-informed drug discovery advocates the use of mathematical modeling and simulation for improved efficacy in drug discovery. In the case of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against cell membrane antigens, this requires quantitative insight into the target tissue concentration levels. Protein mass spectrometry data are often available but the values are expressed in relative, rather than in molar concentration units that are easier to incorporate into pharmacokinetic models. Here, we present an empirical correlation that converts the parts per million (ppm) concentrations in the PaxDb database to their molar equivalents that are more suitable for pharmacokinetic modeling. We evaluate the insight afforded to target tissue distribution by analyzing the likely tumor-targeting accuracy of mAbs recognizing either epidermal growth factor receptor or its homolog HER2. Surprisingly, the predicted tissue concentrations of both these targets exceed the Kd values of their respective therapeutic mAbs. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling indicates that in these conditions only about 0.05% of the dosed mAb is likely to reach the solid tumor target cells. The rest of the dose is eliminated in healthy tissues via both nonspecific and target-mediated processes. The presented approach allows evaluation of the interplay between the target expression level in different tissues that determines the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the drug and the fraction that reaches the cells of interest. This methodology can help to evaluate the efficacy and safety properties of novel drugs, especially if the off-target cell degradation has cytotoxic outcomes, as in the case of antibody-drug conjugates.
Effect of Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Fatigue and Sleep Quality among Geriatric Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Background: Geriatric patients undergoing hemodialysis often grapple with persistent fatigue and poor sleep quality, which can significantly impact on their daily functioning and contribute to a diminished quality of life. Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation, a structured technique involving the systematic tensing and subsequent relaxation of muscle groups alleviating theses hemodialysis consequences. Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation on fatigue and sleep quality among geriatric patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Major coastal flooding in southeastern Australia 1860-2012, associated deaths and weather systems

A new historical database describing major floods and associated weather systems that occurred in coastal catchments, from Brisbane in southeastern Australia to Eden approximately 1500 km further south, is described. In order to produce a homogeneous record of major flood and weather-type frequency we restrict attention to the period 1860–2012, when the region (i) is extensively populated, (ii) has an extensive coverage of meteorological stations, (iii) is extensively connected by telecommunication, and (iv) when there is busy coastal shipping offshore. A total of 253 major floods over this period are identified. A flood is considered here to be ‘major’ if it causes inundation of a river within approximately 50 km of the coast or if there is non-riverine flooding over land near the coast, extending 20 km or more along the coast. All major floods are associated with either (a) East Coast Lows (ECLs) or (b) Tropical Interactions (TIs). Three types of TIs are identified and described. ECLs triggered more major floods than TIs (57 per cent versus 43 per cent), but TIs caused more deaths from freshwater flooding (62 per cent versus 38 per cent) and they tended to cause over twice as many deaths per event (3.6 versus 1.7 deaths/event on average). Some of the most extreme events identified occurred in the 19th century and early-to-mid 20th century. If such events were to occur today they would have catastrophic impacts due to the massive increase in urban development in the study region since that time.
Research advances of polycomb group proteins in regulating mammalian development

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are a subset of epigenetic factors that are highly conserved throughout evolution. In mammals, PcG proteins can be classified into two muti-proteins complexes: Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that PcG complexes play critical roles in the regulation of gene expression, genomic imprinting, chromosome X-inactivation, and chromatin structure. Accordingly, the dysfunction of PcG proteins is tightly orchestrated with abnormal developmental processes. Here, we summarized and discussed the current knowledge of the biochemical and molecular functions of PcG complexes, especially the PRC1 and PRC2 in mammalian development including embryonic development and tissue development, which will shed further light on the deep understanding of the basic knowledge of PcGs and their functions for reproductive health and developmental disorders.
Nutritional Quality and Safety Assessment of Pork Meat Cuts from Romania: Fatty Acids and Elemental Profile

In this study, the fatty acids and elemental profiles of 53 pork cut samples were determined. To offer insights into their potential health implications, we computed 18 key nutritional indices. These indices included parameters such as saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), the MUFAs/SFAs ratio, PUFAs/SFAs ratio, atherogenic index (AI), thrombogenic index (TI), the hypocholesterolemic to hypercholesterolemic ratio (h/H), health-promoting index (HPI), hypocholesterolemic index (HI), unsaturation index (UI), saturation index (SI), peroxidizability index (PI), nutritional value index (NVI), hypocholesterolemic index of fatty acids (DFAs), hypercholesterolemic index of fatty acids (OFAs), and the DFAs/OFAs ratio. These indices were calculated based on their fatty acid composition to provide comprehensive nutritional information. A health risk assessment revealed the safety and minimum health risk for the population from consuming the investigated pork cuts using the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Hazard Index (HI), and target cancer risk (TR). The ANOVA test showed significant differences in the levels of K, Fe, Mn, Zn, MUFAs, and AI among the pork cut samples. It was noted that by employing the correlation between the fatty acids profile, nutritional indices, and elemental concentrations and an unsupervised statistical method, such as PCA, a perfect separation from the different pork cuts could not be obtained.
The Effect of The Insecticide Hulk on Some Genetic Characteristics of The Whitefly and The Cucumber Plant That Parasitizes It

Background: Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci is one of the major injurious sucking pests in tropical and subtropical regions. The effect of the insecticide Hulk, which is used to kill the whitefly, was revealed, and its effect on some of its genes and the genes of the cucumber plant that parasitizes it, was revealed. Materials and Methods: The current study was conducted in Kirkuk Governorate. DNA was extracted from whiteflies treated with Hulk pesticides and not treated with pesticides as a control, and DNA was also extracted from cucumber leaves treated with the Hulk pesticide and not treated with the pesticide as a control in order to compare them. detecting the specific primer of gene 28s in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci and Matk gene in the plant Cucumis sativus. Three treatments of each pesticide at three concentrations (25% a quarter lethal, 50% half lethal, 100% lethal). Results: The research found that 25% of the pesticide Halk killed 20% of the insects, 50% killed 40%, and 100% killed 70% within 24 hours. Pesticide Hulk found that cucumber plant mutations in the Matk gene and gene 28s had the best insecticidal effects against whitefly Bemisa tabaci. Conclusions: Overall, results suggest that ethanolic DNA extracts pesticide Hulk is the occurrence of mutations in the Matk gene in the plant Cucumis sativus and gene 28s in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci showed the highest insecticidal effects on whitefly Bemisa tabaci.
Investigation into the mechanical performance of pipe grade HDPE with included silicon chips as a basis for future sensors

A possible way to continuously monitor the whole water distribution system is to equip pipes with many microsensors. If these sensors are to be integrated within the pipe walls, it is important to assess their impact on the structural integrity of the pipes. In order to test a large number of samples, small polyethylene samples were produced using compression moulding and tested in different stress modes such as tension, bending, Charpy impact and flexural creep, with respect to different chip sizes (4 and 16mm\(^²\)), shapes (circle and square), numbers (one and two), orientations and position as well as sample dimensions and chip-polyethylene interface. It was discovered that the square chip contributes to the highest increase in the polymer stiffness, but significantly reduces its ductility. The 4mm\(^²\) circle causes the smallest disruption in the polymer integrity, especially when including multiple chips and when there is no adhesion. It significantly improves the impact resistance, while its effect in the short and long term bending stress modes is insignificant. The 16mm\(^²\) circle perpendicular to the load direction failed in bending at large strains. The optimal chip orientation for improving the impact strength and reducing the embrittlement effect in tension is parallel to the applied load.

Effects of Online Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Over the Parietal Cortex and Supplementary Motor Area on Bimanual Coordination in Elderly Women

Objectives Considering the negative effects of aging on bimanual motor skills, attention has been drawn to various non-invasive brain stimulation methods for the improvement of these skills. This study aimed to investigate the effects of online transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) over the right posterior parietal cortex (P4) and supplementary motor area (SMA) on bimanual coordination in elderly women. Methods This is a quasi-experimental study. The study population includes all healthy elderly women aged 60-75 years in Tehran, Iran, of whom 31 were selected using a convenience sampling method and were subjected to tACS over P4, tACS over SMA, and sham tACS along with performing the Purdue pegboard task (4 trials) in three sessions with a one-week interval. Data were analyzed byby 3(condition)*4(trials) ANOVA with repeated measures. Results The results of ANOVA showed that only the main effect of trial was statistically significant (P<0.001); The main effect of condition and the interaction effect of condition and trial were not significant (P>0.05). Therefore, although bimanual coordination increased significantly in all three conditions in different trials, there was no significant difference in bimanual coordination among different conditions. Conclusion The online tACS over P4 or SMA has no short-term effect on the bimanual coordination of elderly women. Further studies are recommended to assess the long-term effects of tACS in other areas of the cerebral cortex using different protocols.
Understanding Customer Satisfaction Factors: A Logistic Regression Analysis

Background: In the dynamic landscape of modern business, understanding customer satisfaction is crucial for success and competitiveness. This research intends to analyze the various elements that affect customer contentment, concentrating on the impact of demographic characteristics, economic inclinations, and involvement in loyalty programs. Methods: Employing logistic regression analysis, this research analyzes data collected from a diverse customer base across various industries. The study explores the relationship between customer satisfaction (binary dependent variable) and key independent variables, including age, income level, and loyalty program participation. Model validation is conducted through the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, along with the assessment of model fit using Cox & Snell and Nagelkerke R² metrics. Multicollinearity is checked using the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). Results: The logistic regression model reveals that age and income level significantly influence customer satisfaction, with younger customers and individuals with greater income levels being more probable to report satisfaction. Additionally, participation in loyalty programs emerges as a strong predictor of customer satisfaction. The model demonstrates good fit and predictive ability, as indicated by statistical tests and graphical analyses, including an ROC curve and a Predicted Probability Plot. Conclusions: The research offers significant understanding into the determinants of customer satisfaction, highlighting the importance of demographic factors, economic status, and loyalty programs. These findings offer both theoretical contributions to the field of customer satisfaction research and practical implications for business strategies focused on customer engagement and loyalty.

The Management of a Geriatric Patient Using Dabigatran Therapy on Dentigerous Cyst with Oral Bleeding

Jaw cysts represent a great matter of interest in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Jaw cyst surgery is a common intervention in oral surgery but, in the case of a multidisciplinary patient, the oral surgeon needs to meet with other specialists. A cyst is an epithelium-lined sac containing fluid and/or semisolid material due to epithelial cell proliferation, degeneration, and liquefaction; the hypertonic solution withdraws liquids from the surrounding tissues, while internal pressure exerts an equal strength on the cyst walls. Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts, and commonly few or no symptoms are reported. However, the most common diagnosis for dentigerous cyst is represented by eruption of the affected tooth or accidental diagnosis. Commonly, dentigerous cysts may be related to impacted third molars; in the case of impacted third molars and a dentigerous cyst, the tooth should be removed along with the cyst in the same intervention. Mandibular dentigerous cysts are common in children and adults, while dentigerous cysts are a rare neoformation in elderly patients. Treatment usually involves removal of the entire cyst and the associated unerupted tooth. This intervention may be more difficult if the cyst is large, the third molar is in contact with the mandibular nerve, and/or the patient has a medical history that may represent a relative or absolute contraindication. We present the case of a rare symptomatic manifestation of dentigerous cyst in an elderly patient in treatment with dabigatran therapy; for the treatment of dentigerous cysts in the elderly, we suggest a multidisciplinary approach with the use of the histological examination and a careful follow-up.
Abortion Experiences and Perspectives Amongst Migrants and Refugees: A Systematic Review

(1) Background: Access to abortion care is a crucial reproductive health right. Refugees and migrants may have restricted access to and utilisation of abortion care, associated with histories of displacement, precarious migrant and citizenship status and difficulty navigating unfamiliar host country healthcare systems. However, there is limited evidence on the abortion experiences and perspectives of refugees and migrants. Moreover, existing research has not been synthesised to identify trends informing sexual and reproductive care access among this marginalised population. This systematic review aimed to address this gap in the cumulative evidence on refugee and migrant experiences and perspectives of abortion in host countries. (2) Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched the following databases for studies on refugee and migrant abortion attitudes, decision making and experiences: Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, and Scopus. We also searched the grey literature on the same. Inclusion criteria specified qualitative studies involving migrant and/or refugee populations, examining their abortion experiences, attitudes or perspectives, written in English, published between January 2000 and December 2022. Two reviewers screened titles, abstracts and full-text articles, resulting in 27 articles included in the review, following consensus checks by two co-authors. The included studies were assessed for methodological quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool. (3) Results: Abortion was stigmatised and generally considered impermissible and undesirable. However, participants discussed socioculturally determined ‘exceptions’ to this, positing circumstances where abortion was acceptable. There were striking differences in experiences between participants in higher-income settings and those in lower- and middle-income settings. Difficulties accessing care were ubiquitous but were heightened in lower-resource settings and among participants with precarious citizenship, financial and legal statuses. (4) Conclusions: The findings highlight the need for an international convention to guide policy and programming that acknowledges the specific abortion requirements of migrant and refugee communities, with attention to their financial, legal and social precarity.
