Climate change threatens beach tourism

Beaches evoke an emotion known to improve physical and mental well-being and have become a primary destination for leisure, relaxation and recreation, notes Researcher David Cabana from the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS). However, he highlights, coastal and beach tourism goes beyond mere sunbathing and relaxation – it is quickly becoming an increasing concern for extreme climate change and erosion through rising seawater levels. Looking at the climate change threats to beaches and tourism-related activities, the Climate Services Center Germany (GERICS) in cooperation with the Blue Flag programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education aims to co-develop climate services and indicators to enable the application of climate change information into beach management and decision-making. The goal of the GERICS - Blue Flag programme collaboration is to enable the incorporation of usable and useful climate change information into municipal coastal decision-making such as in the Blue Flag assessment criteria to ensure that operators are prepared to adapt to climatic changes. This will also support the Blue Flag programme continues to recognize and award beaches and marinas that are not only environmentally sound but also resilient in the face of climate change.

Personalized diet intervention in Thai ageing populations

Professor Apichart Vanavichit a Rice Genomic Breeding Expert at the Rice Science Center looks at diet intervention and therapy for the ageing population of Thailand to prevent disease. Thailand has rapidly become an ageing society, and the average age of the Thais will be 30 years older compared to 1975. As the elderly population increases, it is anticipated that there will be more incidences of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity (OB), diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Notably, the prevalence of T2D has increased rapidly from 6.5% in 2015 to 10.7% in 2030 (estimated), with the most significant increase will be found among the elderly population (72%). In developing countries, NCD has become the most immense burden among the poor elderly whose life depends on their children. There are strong links between consuming high glycemic index foods, a sedentary lifestyle, and NCDs. So, developing lower glycemic index meals and changing lifestyles with diet intervention programmes are sensible solutions to slow down the prevalence of future NCDs.

Students’ interest in learning Arabic as a foreign language is an important aspect that has to be addressed by language instructors. By addressing this affective factor, they will be able to cater the needs of the students, particularly in selecting relevant activities that suit the students’ abilities and at the same time comply with the syllabus. This study explores the students' interest in learning Arabic using debates. It also intends to investigate the challenges faced and efforts made by students in the process of learning Arabic through debates. This is a single case study involving ten participants consisting of National Defence University of Malaysia (NDUM) students from diverse backgrounds. The participants were interviewed, with the sessions recorded and saved in MP3 audio format. The interviews were then transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. The findings show that on the whole, the students have good interest in learning Arabic language through roleplay activities, but there are various challenges experienced by the students in the learning process. For example, the insufficiency of the vocabulary to express their ideas and the need to always translate it first. They also get demoralised when interacting with more fluent and proficient speakers. Despite these challenges, they demonstrated a persistent and satisfied effort as they feel like they are being challenged to be better while achieving the objective of the activity. This study provides some pedagogical recommendations in terms of prepping students with communicative function activities such as debates with several guidelines, particularly for minimising the constraints of students with basic Arabic language experience.
BAIL AND THE PRINCIPLE OF GENERALIBUS SPECIALIA DEROGANT IN THE MALAYSIAN MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM
Authors:   National Defence University of Malaysia, Md Saman Mazura , Dahari Jamal Rodzi ,   National Defence University of Malaysia
Published: April 2023

This article analyses case law and literature to determine the position of bail in the military criminal justice system. The right to bail is a fundamental human right to liberty,and ensure unfairly imprisonment before trial. The criminal justice system in many countries provides for the right to bail, including Malaysia except for offences such as drug trafficking, kidnapping and crimes which carry the death penalty. However, as the Criminal Procedure Code only applies to civilian courts in Malaysia, military personnel may not enjoy the same treatment under the Armed Forces Act 1972. It is thus essential to investigate the need for the Armed Forces Act 1972 to be reformed to include the right to bail. The finding suggests that the bail should be afforded to military offender charged under the Armed Forces Act 1972 and give the option to the military authorities the discretion to release the accused on a bail, in unanimity to the element of fundamental rights to liberty.

The research was conducted to determine the different aspects of job performance among Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCO), often mentioned as middle managers in the Malaysian Army. This study has identified that the job performance of the SNCOs in the combat element corps consists of task and contextual job performance. The quantitative approach was implemented, and the data consisting of 458 respondents were collected from soldiers of the rank of corporal and below, i.e. JNCOs from the combat element corps of the Malaysian Army in all geographic locations of Malaysia. The data analysis used was PLS-SEM to determine the acceptability of the data obtained with the hypothesised model of job performance. The R2 value of 0.852 indicates that 85.2 % of job performance is predicted by task and contextual performance constructs. The results also support the hypothesis that task performance and contextual performance have a significant positive relationship with job performance among the SNCOs. This study established that both task and contextual job performance are of equal importance in determining the job performance of middle managers of the combat element of the Malaysian Army. Nevertheless, task performance is more significant compared to contextual performance.

Published: April 2023

Semen analysis is known to be important in determining male fertility and also in assessing infertility in men. Both primary and secondary infertility in male have various causes. One very important part of altered semen profile is the quantity of semen ejaculated and the quality of sperm cells in the ejaculate. Oligospermia is the most common cause of poor semen profile and bacteriospermia has been observed as one of the major causes of infertility in men. This study aimed at determining the relationship between bacteriospermia and oligospermia. In this cross-sectional study, 200 semen samples were collected for further analysis and cultured according to the standard laboratory methods. Semen samples were collected after 3-4 days of sexual abstinence in aseptic condition in a clean, dry, sterile and leak-proof container. The result gotten showed that out of 200 semen samples analyzed 64(32%) were oligospermic. The most common infective organism causing bacteriospermia in oligospermic semen isolated on culture was Staphylococcus aureus with prevalence of 26.6%. There was a non-significant negative correlation between bacteriospermia and oligospermia. This study has shown that bacteriospermia does not have any relationship with oligospermia as bacteriospermia affected more normospermic semen than oligospermic group. However, the study also showed that the most common bacteria causing bacteriospermia is Staphylococcal aureus followed by Escherichia coli.
‘I am doing divinely’
Authors: Albinsson Staffan
Published: April 2023

Jenny Lind (1820-1887) was a giant celebrity soprano in Europe and North America. Her tale has been written by biographers many times over. A picture emerges of an extremely competent singer who managed her position in the spotlight successfully but who still, generally, disliked the attention – the ‘Lindomania’ – that followed her everywhere. Her goal was to make as much money as possible in a short time in order to retire. However, she believed that she owed God, who gave her the gift of being able to sing, to use her talent to help fellow humans in need. She continued singing in concerts and oratorios often for the sole purpose of charity. Information on her earnings and abundant donations to charities appears scattered over many thousands of biography pages. The purpose of this study is to filter out this kind of secondary information and add what has been found as primary information in a few archives in order to create a condensed rendering of incomes and donations. Jenny Lind was thought of as a very wealthy woman. Can this be substantiated by the actual numbers? She was also held as a great benefactor. How did she use her fortune?
Hypopigmented Mycosis Fungoides in Younger Patients: A Mimicker of Common Hypopigmented Inflammatory Rashes
Authors: Macari Candice
Published: April 2023

Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) is a rare type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a non-classic variant among up to 50 variants of mycosis fungoides (MF), that typically affects younger individuals in the second to fourth decades of life of darker skin types. The presenting cutaneous findings of HMF can be mistaken for and mimic other commonly seen hypopigmented skin disorders and misdiagnosed by an untrained eye in the dermatologic and general practice settings. MF has many different variants, and affects both children and adults. For the purpose of this article, the discussion will be limited to HMF specifically presenting in younger patients. With limited literature on HMF commonly affecting the younger generations, knowledge of how to diagnose and treat this cutaneous malignancy is lacking among clinicians. The goal of this CME article is to provide more awareness to clinicians on this rare form of CTCL, thus improving patient care through early detection and treatment in this patient population.

Authors:   Australian Defence Force, Hood David
Published: April 2023

Australia’s Defence Strategic Review (DSR) has been completed, with the final report handed to Government (Prime Minister of Australia, 2023). In considering priorities for Defence capability and assessing force structure, posture and preparedness1, the DSR is likely to recommend difficult choices for a relatively small Defence Force which must live within necessarily-limited means. Much like in war itself, Defence’s ability to adapt to DSR outcomes will be crucial. Indeed, former defence official Paul Dibb has warned Defence requires ‘serious historical and cultural change’ to implement the DSR’s recommendations (Hurst, 2023). Such change could be painful, especially if each service views the DSR’s recommendations through the lens of a zero-sum game, with winners and losers. Doing so not only misses the point of the review itself, but diverts our attention away from an important—arguably unique—opportunity offered by the DSR: using it as a wargame to practise the kind of adaptability we will need to fight the next war. Australia’s current strategic circumstances, and their trajectory, mean we cannot afford to miss such an opportunity. This article discusses how the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) can use the DSR as a wargame to test its adaptability in a joint environment, and why doing so is an effective way to practice applying air and space power effects into the joint force, in preparation for the next war.

Al-Kut city, like many other Iraqi cities, has a thorough research literature in proposals for traffic control or transportation planning that consider the growth of the population, employment, and car ownership each year, all of which have an effect on daily activities. day after day. Utilizing programs likes (TransCAD, GIS), the network is utilized to evaluate the patterns of current traffic flow. and gather various types of data, including for the work of the extensive road network, field surveys are performed. The evaluation’s findings indicated that the majority of the city’s roads had a level of service type (A), with the exception of Al-Naseej, Baghdad-Al-Kut, Al-Tarabiya, and Al-Harah streets, which have service-level types (F) at which the ratio of vehicles to road capacity (v/c) is above one. On that premise, it was planned to build new roads to shift the course of external – external trips, as well as add lanes, to alleviate the congestion that had developed in the problem area.

Multivariate statistical methods such as Principal Component Analysis/Factor analysis (PCA/FA), and Cluster Analysis (CA) were used to characterize spatial and temporal variations and to find out the pollution source of 11 lakes of the Kancheepuram district, a northeast district of Tamilnadu in India. Sampling events were conducted during the northeast monsoon (Dec 2015 & 2016) and Pre-monsoon (Oct 2016). The 20 physicochemical water quality parameters were used to analyze the collected water samples.In PCA, four components were demonstrated up to 73.12% of the total variance in the data set. It clarifies that variations in water quality parameters concentration are mainly identified with agricultural, industrial, domestic wastes, and natural factors. The CA showed the formation of three clusters based on the water quality variation at different locations. From the CA data, sampling sites were classified into high, moderate, and least polluted. Among these sites, Kolavai, Nattapettai and Uthiramerur were highly polluted because of rapid urbanization and industrialization. Therefore, these areas need some effective measures to enhance the quality of water.
Acid Digestion Method for Extraction of Diatoms in Drowning Cases: A Review
Authors: Caeiro Don
Published: April 2023

Diatoms are single celled algae and is the most found phytoplankton in water sources like rivers, lakes, pools, ponds, etc. In cases of drowning, it becomes essential to prove that the person died due to drowning. In this aspect there are basically two conditions that need to be investigated, to prove it. The point of proving that it was an ante mortem drowning helps in determining the crime committed and plays a vital role in the conviction of the accused with the appropriate punishment. In ante mortem drowning the water is swallowed by the individual and since the person is still alive this water gets absorbed and enters the blood stream. Therefore, if a person was actually drowned which resulted in his or her death there is a possibility of finding some content of the water in which the drowning took place inside the individual and the region to look for this is the bone marrow. Further diatoms are the phytoplanktons that reach the bone marrow in cases of ante mortem drowning. Diatoms are present in all water bodies, but the species of diatoms present in each water body varies. Therefore, diatoms have been used in drowning cases to prove the person had drowned and the location where the drowning took place. The analysis of diatoms is still in the process of development. Since they have silica-based cell wall they are strong, and their analysis needs to be done in such a way that procedures employed should be accepted by the court as a valid protocol and subsequently admit the evidence in that particular case. Extraction of diatoms from bone samples is an important step to isolate diatoms from the human tissue. There are many ways to conduct this extraction, but the most efficient technique is not known. This study reviews the studies conducted on the acid digestion procedures for extracting diatoms and it is found that acid digestion method can be used for numerous types of samples. Some protocols were tweaked to get the best results but the basic utilization of acids like nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid showed good results in the extraction of diatoms from samples of forensic significance.

Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular cancer of childhood. RB1 is the gene responsible for causing retinoblastoma, spans more than 180 kilobases (kb) located on chromosome 13q14, which consist of 27 exons. Retinoblastoma in children may either be hereditary or non-hereditary. Mutations in RB1 gene are mostly point mutations of non-sense or missense type but could also be of frameshift type. These mutations can be identified from both blood and tumour samples by Sanger sequencing and other molecular identification techniques such as Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA). ‘Fragile’ codons are codons which gets point mutated to form stop codons so that the resulting protein will be incomplete or immature. In RB1, fragile codons get mutated predominantly and lead to the truncation of RB1 protein. The frequent mutations that predominantly occur in the arginine (CGA) codon, wherein changes in the single nucleotide results in the stop (UGA) codon, than any other fragile codon. The present paper reviews the role of RB1 mutations in retinoblastoma and the methods to identify it. We also make an attempt to identify the fragile codons in the RB genome based on the NCBI reference sequence NM_000321.2

The mouth has a diverse microbial ecosystem and is yet vulnerable to infectious diseases. Dental plaque is formed when bacteria accumulate on teeth, and if left untreated, it can develop to gingivitis. Gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which causes irreparable damage to the gums and underlying support tissues if left untreated. Hundreds of bacterial species are involved in dental caries such as streptococci species, lactobacillus species. Mouthwashes are meant to reduce oral bacteria, remove any food debris and provide a pleasant and refreshing taste in the mouth. Antiseptic chemicals including alcohol, menthol, and eucalyptol are used in mouthwash to destroy microorganisms. Plaque and gingivitis can be avoided with the use of mouthwash. Each mouthwash mixture has somewhat different chemicals, and each product serves a particular purpose. Herbal mouthwashes are considered to be an effective alternative for the commercial products. Herbal mouthwashes are in high demand, because they have less or no side effects and act on oral pathogens effectively. Herbs, in contrast to artificial products, are widely regarded as highly effective. Medicinal herbs have long been used to treat ailments because of their antibacterial and antifungal properties against human pathogens. Herbal mouth washes have the ability to deliver the therapeutic ingredients to access against the organism present on the surface of the mouth. Dental caries and periodontal diseases are among the most frequent infectious diseases experienced by many people at various phases of their lives, with a significant prevalence among children and adolescents who do not practice basic oral hygiene. Herbal mouthwash was prepared from the aqueous extracts of four different leaves namely Ocimum tenuiflorum, Plectranthus amboinicus, Mentha and Foeniculum vulgare. The antimicrobial efficacy was tested against the oral pathogens Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., and Bacillus sp. by using agar well diffusion method. The herbal mouthwash was found to be effective against the oral pathogens.
