Authors: Yaluk Fernando , Sosa Martín , Walder Valeria , Laporte Victoria
Published: October 2022

Las obras de infraestructura son esenciales para el desarrollo y crecimiento económico de un país, en especial, en países con una limitada red vial como Paraguay. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de estos proyectos podría suponer un impacto considerado a ciertos grupos vulnerables. En ese sentido, el desarrollo del programa PR-L1075 detectó el impacto que obras tendrían a ciertas comunidades indígenas de las zonas lo cual requirió el desarrollo de un proceso de reasentamiento, en cumplimiento con las políticas sociales del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. El objetivo de este documento es presentar la evaluación del proceso de reasentamiento realizado en el marco del programa PR-L1075. El Plan de reasentamiento voluntario de comunidades indígenas paraguayas, fue desarrollado en el marco de la Fase II del Programa Corredores de Integración, Rehabilitación y Mantenimiento Vial (PR-L1075), más específicamente, en el proyecto de pavimentación de la Ruta Nacional N13. Este Plan tuvo como propósito mejorar la calidad de vida de las familias indígenas en el marco de la mitigación de impactos del mencionado Programa. Las comunidades indígenas con las cuales se llevó a cabo el Plan son entendidas como el grupo denominado inicialmente Joyvy, que está conformado por 4 comunidades del pueblo mbya guaraní: San Jorge, Joyvy Santa Librada, San Jorge Ypanar y 20 de Julio. Esta evaluación revisa las acciones enmarcadas en la etapa previa al Plan de reasentamiento como el cumplimiento de las normativas del BID y la legislación nacional del Paraguay, para adentrarse en el análisis de las partes que hacen al Plan de reasentamiento, que consistieron en: identificación y adquisición de tierras, traslado de las comunidades a las tierras tituladas y plan de apoyo a la consolidación del reasentamiento. Los datos utilizados en la redacción de este informe fueron proveídos por el BID y del Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Comunicaciones, además de testimonios relevados de miembros de las comunidades de referencia y de informes desarrollados durante el proceso de implementación del Plan de reasentamiento. Esta experiencia de ejecución de un Plan de reasentamiento voluntario de comunidades indígenas coteja los resultados para ofrecer lecciones aprendidas y recomendaciones a tener en cuenta en programas y proyectos de similares características.

No presente trabalho, são abordados conceitos sobre o uso de células a combustível em propulsão híbrida de aeronaves, com o objetivo de revisar conceitos como o funcionamento da célula a combustível e os principais tipos utilizados, conceitos sobre a propulsão híbrida, seus benefícios e desafios. Além disso, foram estudados quatro modelos de sistemas de propulsão híbrido. Os sistemas propostos foram: o Sistema de propulsão híbrido integrado com um algoritmo de distribuição de energia, o Sistema de propulsão e potência (HPP) ou motor híbrido a jato integrado com a SOFC, o Sistema de propulsão híbrido Turbofan-SOFC, e o Sistema de propulsão híbrido Turbofan-MCFC. Para cada um dos sistemas, foram observados indicadores como potência, consumo, empuxo, eficiências, gerenciamento de energia entre outros. Finalmente foram observadas algumas dificuldades para implementação do uso de células a combustível em aeronaves. Os resultados  mais promissores em termos de eficiência foram apresentados pelo sistema Turbofan-SOFC e Turbofan- MCFC, em que o sistema Turbofan-SOFC obteve uma eficiência térmica 52,8% e uma eficiência exergética de 66,2%, e o sistema Turbofan-MCFC obteve maiores eficiência de 71% para eficiência térmica e 87,6% para eficiência exergética. Além da alta eficiência, esses sistemas permitem o uso de hidrocarbonetos como combustíveis, viabilizando a transição para o hidrogênio até que uma rede de distribuição esteja consolidada.
Aesthetic dissonance. On behavior, values, and experience through new media
Authors: Mróz Adrian
Published: October 2022

Aesthetics is thought of as not only a theory of art or beauty, but also includes sensibility, experience, judgement, and relationships. This paper is a study of Bernard Stiegler’s notion of Aesthetic War (stasis) and symbolic misery. Symbolic violence is ensued through a loss of individuation and participation in the creation of symbols. As a struggle between market values against spirit values human life and consciousness within neoliberal hyperindustrial society has become calculable, which prevents people from creating affective and meaningful attachments to symbols in relation to our retentional apparatuses, technology and memory. Such tension can be thought of as a dissonance between overlapping domains of social life, private and public. New Media is a reflection of aesthetic dissonance, an experience such as being bored and entertained at the same time, between antagonistic experiences, values, and behavior. Moreover, new media is at once a medium of customizing aesthetic experience individually as well as the threat and practice of prioritizing calculability and modeling of consumer behavior in favor of capitalistic effectiveness, which results in the simultaneous categorization of an individual as a data point, putting those who do not fit an algorithm’s premises at a disadvantage.
Czy można być jednocześnie konserwatystą i liberałem? Frank Meyer i „fuzjonizm”
Authors: Saar Marcin
Published: October 2022

Tematem tekstu jest myśl Franka S. Meyera, jednej z czołowych postaci powojennego ruchu intelektualnego amerykańskiej prawicy. Meyerowi często przypisuje się ambicję połączenia (czy też dokonania „fuzji” - stąd nazwa „fuzjonizm” kojarzona z jego nazwiskiem) klasycznej liberalnej troski o wolność indywidualną z bardziej konserwatywnym przekonaniem o doskonałości jako ostatecznym celu ludzkiego istnienia. Z zagadnieniem właściwego stosunku wolności do doskonałości powiązane są inne kwestie, również warte zastanowienia: problem użycia rozumu i tradycji w politycznych dociekaniach, natura i właściwa rola państwa, stosunek pojedynczej osoby do społeczeństwa (czy innych bytów ponadjednostkowych). Na stronach niniejszego tekstu przyglądamy się tym zagadnieniom. Rozważamy również miejsce, jakie Meyer zajmuje w stosunku do intelektualnych tradycji (szeroko rozumianego) liberalizmu oraz konserwatyzmu , konkludując, że należy on do obozu liberalnego (klasycznie liberalnego, przechodzącego w libertarianizm), nie zaś do konserwatywnego.

There is a need to strengthen disaster preparedness and resilience at all levels of society in the country. In line with this, the study was conducted to describe the assets or capitals and determine the level of disaster preparedness index (DPI) of the selected flood-prone households, barangays, and municipalities in the Province of Laguna. A total of 194 household respondents were randomly selected in Brgy. Santisima Cruz, Santa Cruz; Brgy. Concepcion, Lumban; and Brgy. Nanguma, Mabitac. Key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and household survey were conducted to collect primary data. Computed weights were derived through analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to come-up with the DPI at the household, barangay, and municipal levels. Capital-based assessment of the disaster preparedness revealed that at the household level, 51% of the respondents in the three sites had high DPI, 34% had moderate DPI, and 15% had low DPI. All the three barangays had moderate DPI while all the three municipalities had high DPI. Overall assessment shows that cascading disaster preparedness programs from municipal to barangay, and eventually to household is not fully implemented. Identified areas with low DPI should be given the highest priority and resources for disaster preparation.

Background: High mortality of goat kids due to infectious and non-infectious diseases negatively impacts goat husbandry. Methods: To study the influence of genetic and nongenetic factors on preweaning mortality of goat kids, three years’ data (July, 2015 to June, 2018) of breeds maintained at Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Institute for Research on Goats (ICAR-CIRG) viz. Barbari, Jamunapari and Jakhrana was analyzed to find effect of breed, parity, birth weight, litter size, season of birth, sex and kid’s age on mortality. Postmortem findings as entered in the record have been considered to arrive at the cause of mortality. Result: A preweaning mortality rate of 2.59% was recorded in kids of all the three breeds studied. Mortality rate of Barbari, Jamunapari and Jakhrana kids was found to be 2.15%, 3.39% and 2.13% respectively. Kids birth weight, sex or age had no effect on mortality. Highest mortality was observed in kids born as triplet/quadruplet (4.49%) followed by that in twins (2.88%) and singlets (2.01%). Highest mortality was observed in kids born to primiparous dams (3.95%) followed by kids born to dams having =/ greater than 5th parity (3.01%) and least in 2nd to 4th parity (1.82%). Most of the kids died due to enteritis (38.3%) followed by pneumonia (28.3%), debility and anemia (11.7%) septicemia (10%) and others in remaining 11.7% cases.

Les effets toxiques de l’alcool sur le cerveau peuvent être mis en évidence par imagerie médicale. Ainsi, une diminution de la substance grise a été observée chez des personnes alcoolo-dépendantes. Plus la consommation d’alcool commence à un âge précoce, plus l’altération de la matière grise est importante. En Côte d’Ivoire, des travaux antérieures indiquent la présence de perturbations de l’attention sélective et de la mémoire de travail chez des adolescents et jeunes adultes non alcoolo-dépendants, mais consommateurs réguliers de koutoukou (eau-de-vie locale de fabrication artisanale, issue de la sève de palmier à huile ̏ Elaeis guineensis Jacq.̋). Cette étude a pour objectif d’étudier les effets de l’alcool sur les facultés attentionnelles des patients alcoolo-dépendants. A cet effet, un test neuropsychologique a été utilisé afin de comparer les performances des patients avant et après traitement (sevrage). Il en ressort que l’alcool altère significativement l’attention sélective chez les alcoolo-dépendants. Cependant, il a été constaté après traitement (sevrage), une récupération progressive de ces fonctions cognitives.

L’objectif de cette étude est de fournir les caractéristiques hydrogéologiques et hydrochimiques des eaux souterraines des roches carbonatées de la région de Tlata Taghramt. Géographiquement, cette région fait partie de la chaîne calcaire du Haouz central (Rif septentrional). La majorité des sources se localisent le long des contacts anormaux majeurs qui mettent en contact les formations carbonatées avec les formations imperméables (Sebtides/Ghomarides à l’Est et les masses des Flyschs/unités de Tanger à l’Ouest). Dans ce secteur, les formations carbonatées constituent un important réservoir karstique dont l’alimentation principale se fait par les précipitations. L'étude de la fracturation a clairement indiqué une dominance de fractures orientée N-S. Ces dernières favorisent l’apparition d’un grand nombre de sources via les joints et les sutures affectant les roches réservoirs formants les aquifères de la région. La détermination des principaux groupes de facteurs participant à la minéralisation des eaux a été réalisée par méthode d’analyse statistique. Du point de vue chimique, les eaux ont une nature généralement bicarbonatée calcique et magnésienne. Ces ressources hydriques sont la principale ressource d’eau potable et d’irrigation pour les centres ruraux de la région.

Published: October 2022

The modern world is full of stressors. Dealing with these stressors and being satisfied with life is the most important goal of almost everyone. Stress is an inevitable phenomenon in people's daily life. We constantly have to face, deal with and adapt to many stressful situations. The main goal of every person is the feeling of satisfaction with life, therefore, it is important to learn to cope effectively with stress in order to avoid the complications that accompany a stressful event for a long time. Each person is individual and therefore uses different methods to cope with stress. The report discusses stress as an integral part of human life, how it affects the development of the individual, how it affects the biological systems of the human body and the psyche as a whole. The reason for our conflict with the outside world is explained, as well as why there are many events and circumstances in our lives that cause us to react to stress. We tried to learn ways to overcome it. However, whether this provocation develops further, answers Iissiidiology, which offers a new face of this problem. The connection between depression and stress. The purpose of my study was to determine the general level of stress in a certain part of the population and to study the relationship between stress and depression. It is noteworthy that all our lives are related to stress in one way or another. Unfortunately, human life does not exist without stressful situations, stress accompanies all spheres of human activity, its existence is beyond doubt. It is significant that stress has a significant impact on both physical health and mental state, social-psychological functions of a person. It is reflected in all aspects of our creative life and leaves a certain and quite serious mark on all our possibilities and ways of interacting with the outside world. In the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, problems related to psychological well-being are especially relevant for the modern world. In reality, the problems created by the pandemic lead to an increase in stress, anxiety and depression rates in society, which may become a determinant of a pessimistic attitude towards life, a decrease in self-confidence, a loss of faith in the future, and a change in life goals and values (Kekelia, Kereselidze, Shanava 2021).

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Gram-positive bacteria causing infection in hospital-acquired infection, has increased worldwide, including in Indonesia. Currently, the updated data on MRSA in Indonesia is limited. Purpose: This study aims to explore the prevalence and susceptibility pattern of MRSA in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytic study with a retrospective design. All clinical isolates of Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and MRSA from January to December 2017 were included. All inpatients included one MSSA or MRSA, and colonized bacteria were excluded. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square or Fisher’s Exact Test. Results: A total of 503 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were identified, of which 126 (25.05%) were MRSA. The highest prevalence of MRSA was from pus, wound swab, and tissue,  59 (28.37%) from 333, and the highest prevalence of the ward was in the intensive care unit (50%). MRSA were highly sensitive to daptomycin (n=95/95; 100%), linezolid (n=123/125; 98.40%), vancomycin (n=120/125; 96.00%), nitrofurantoin (n=43/45; 95.56%), quinupristin-dalfopristin (n=112/121; 92.56%), fosfomycin (n=87/97; 89.69%), and moxifloxacin (n=104/117; 88.89%). The susceptibility of the other antibiotics such as rifampicin, clindamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole, levofloxacin, gentamicin, and tetracycline was less than 80%. Conclusion: The prevalence of MRSA among hospitalized patients in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, is 25.05% and tends to decrease from January to December 2017. Most MRSA was sensitive/intermediate to daptomycin, linezolid, vancomycin, nitrofurantoin, quinupristin-dalfopristin, fosfomycin, and moxifloxacin.

Food acceptance is patient's ability to spend food served, while in this study measured using food waste. In Covid-19 patients,  it is necessary to pay attention of their food intake in order to optimize body's immune system. Improved immune system could help faster healing process. Thus, observing factors that affects food waste such as patients’ perception and menu variation are needed.  This study was conducted to analyze correlation between patient perceptions of food taste and menu variations with food waste in patients at the Covid-19 Indrapura Field Hospital. This study used a cross-sectional design. Sample was selected using the accidental sampling technique, 148 respondents were selected. Data was analyzed by using Pearson correlation test. Most of respondents were male (60.8%), aged 15-39 years (63.5%), and had a length of stay of 7 days (58.1%). Most of the respondents admitted that food taste was good and very good (90.5%), as well as menu variations were classified as good and very good (89.2%), with average food waste of respondents was 10.4%. Statistical test show that there was a correlation between food taste (p value = 0.000) and menu variations (p value = 0.005) with food waste Covid-19 patients. It is concluded that there is a significant correlation between food taste and menu variations with the food waste among Covid-19 patients. Though it meets hospital food waste standards, it is still important to pay attention to the things related to food taste and menu variations to keep the food waste below minimum standards.

Authors: du Plessis E , Fourie J
Published: October 2022

International trade in higher education services is one of the fastest growing tradable service sectors globally. Apart from the positive externalities international students create through knowledge mobility and spill-over, campus diversity, and local community development participation, spending by international students in the host city and immediate surroundings add significantly to local economic growth. The aim of this article is to show, firstly, the relative strong growth of South Africa’s higher education exports vis-à-vis other countries. We also find that South Africa has a strong comparative advantage in exporting higher education services. Secondly, we use a pilot questionnaire conducted in 2009 at Stellenbosch University to estimate the economic impact of these students on the local economy. We find that international students contribute between R159 million and R172 million per semester to the local economy, in addition to the positive – but largely unquantifiable – externalities they create.

Kekerasan Verbal pada Anak: Psikoedukasi pada Kader Posyandu Balita Puskesmas D Surabaya
Authors: Hanna Qaddura Zafirah
Published: October 2022

Verbal abuse is a type of abuse done by parents without realizing the impact caused by the abuse. The people who live around Puskesmas D Surabaya didn’t show signs of awareness about the importance of preventing verbal abuse in children. Verbal abuse continues because parents don’t understand what verbal abuse is, its impact on child’s development, and what kind of parent-child interaction to develop to avoid verbal abuse. Psychoeducation to posyandu’s kader can be an alternative that can be done to provide education to all parents around Puskesmas D Surabaya about verbal abuse. This study aims to determine the difference in knowledge of posyandu’s kader after being given psychoeducation about verbal abuse, its effects, as well as parent-child interaction that must be developed to avoid verbal abuse in children. The research method used was an experimental one group pretest-posttest design. Research respondents were 40 posyandu’s kader. The instrument used was a questionnaire compiled by researcher based on the psychoeducation materials. The result showed a difference in the pretest and posttest score with a significance of 0.000 (<0.05) which means that there is an increase in kader’s knowledge after being given psychoeducation. The result is expected to be a recommendation for Puskesmas D Surabaya to implement the psychoeducation to reduce verbal abuse in children in their working area.

Detection and surveillance of circulating tumor cells in osteosarcoma for predicting therapy response and prognosis
Authors: Mu Haoran , Zuo Dongqing , Chen Jie , Liu Zhigang , Wang Zhuo , Yang Liu , Shi Qihui , Hua Yingqi
Published: October 2022

Objective: Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive, highly metastatic, relatively drug-resistant bone tumor with poor long-term survival rates. The presence and persistence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood are believed to be associated with treatment inefficiency and distant metastases. A blood-based CTC test is thus greatly needed for monitoring disease progression and predicting clinical outcomes. However, traditional methods cannot detect CTCs from tumors of mesenchymal origin such as OS, and research on CTC detection in mesenchymal tumors has been hindered for years. Methods: In this study, we developed a CTC test based on hexokinase 2, a metabolic function-associated marker, for the detection and surveillance of OS CTCs, and subsequently explored its clinical value. Twelve patients with OS were enrolled as the training cohort for serial CTC tests. Dynamic CTC counting, in combination with therapy evaluation and post-treatment follow-up, was used to establish a model for predicting post-chemotherapy evaluation and disease-free survival, and the model was further validated with a cohort of 8 patients with OS. Results: Two dynamic CTC number patterns were identified, and the resulting predictive model exhibited 92% consistency with the clinical outcomes. This model suggested that a single CTC test has similar predictive power to serial CTC analysis. In the validation cohort, the single CTC test exhibited 100% and 87.5% consistency with therapy response and disease-free survival, respectively. Conclusions: Our non-invasive test for detection and surveillance of CTCs enables accurate prediction of therapy efficiency and prognosis, and may be clinically valuable for avoiding inefficient therapy and prolonging survival.
The mint versus Covid hypothesis

Recent lines of evidence suggest the intriguing hypothesis that consuming common culinary herbs of the mint family might help prevent or treat Covid. Individual citizens could easily explore the hypothesis using ordinary kitchen materials. I offer a philosophical framework to account for the puzzling lack of public health messaging about this interesting idea.
Technology-Business-Management of Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for Sustainable Urban Farming in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review of Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Benjamin Emmanuel Olatunbosun , Ola Oreoluwa , Buchenrieder Gertrud R
Published: October 2022

The urban population in developing countries, especially sub-Saharan Africa, is rapidly increas-ing. As towns and cities grow, so does the demand for fish protein. While flow-through aqua-culture can provide fresh, healthy and nutritious fish protein, it is plagued by extensive land re-quirement as well as effluent discharge, thus, unsuitable for city regions. Alternatively, small-scale Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) could improve food and nutritional security (FNS), livelihoods as well as reduce environmental degradation in urban areas despite land and water constraints. The question however remains - what are the key technical, business and managerial issues, surrounding small-scale RAS in urban farming? This study reviews the RAS prototype of the Sustainable Aquaponics for Nutritional and Food Security in Urban Sub-Saharan Africa (SANFU) II project based on mass balance and stock density, relevant for fish survival and/or availability as well as net cash-flow analyses. The results suggest that small-scale RAS are technically and financially viable only with family labor having proper aquaculture monitoring and management skills. Furthermore, access to adequate equipment and inputs as well as electricity for the recirculating system are crucial. Urban innovation actors will adopt RAS if operations are profitable given that family labor is employed.

In history, with the increase of population and economic development, there is an increasing demand for the quantity and variety of forest vegetation ecosystem products and services in a country or a region. To meet the demands, most of the original forest has become farmland, plantation and grass and crops land. As a result, the plant water relationship changed from equilibrium to non-equilibrium, which easily led to soil drought, soil degradation and vegetation decline in dry years or waste of soil water in rainy years in most of water-limited regions. In order to solve the question and realize the sustainable utilization of soil water resources and the high-quality sustainable development of forest, it is necessary to apply the limit theory of plant utilization of soil water resources and the vegetation carrying capacity theory in the critical period of plant-water relationship regulation to adjust the relationship between plant growth and soil moisture to obtain the maximum yield and benefit and realize high-quality and sustainable development.

A series of novel indole Schiff base derivatives (2a–2t) containing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole scaffold modified with a thioether group were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, andHR-MS. In addition, the antifungal activity of synthesized indole derivatives was investigated against Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum), Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum), Fusarium moniliforme (F. moniliforme), Curvularia lunata (C. lunata), and Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotiana (P. p. var. nicotianae) using the mycelium growth rate method. Among the synthesized indole derivatives, compound 2j showed the highest inhibition rates of 100%, 95.7%, 89%, and 76.5% at a concentration of 500 μg/mL against F. graminearum, F. oxysporum, F. moniliforme, and P. p. var. nicotianae, respectively. Similarly, compounds 2j and 2q exhibited higher inhibition rates of 81.9% and 83.7% at a concentration of 500 μg/mL against C. lunata. In addition, compound 2j has been recognized as a potential compound for further investigation in the field of fungicides.

String matching is an important part in many real world applications. It must robust against variations in string field. In record linkage for two different datasets matching should detect two patients in common in spite of small variations. But it becomes difficult in case of confidential data because sometimes data sharing between organizations become restricted for privacy purposes. Several techniques have been proposed on privacy-preserving approximate string matching such as Secure Hash Encoding etc. Relative to other techniques for approximate string matching Homomorphic encryption is very new.

In this paper we have proposed a Homomorphic Encryption based approximate string matching technique for matching multiple attributes. There is no solution currently available for multiple attributes matching using Homomorphic encryption. We have proposed two different methods for multiple attributes matching. Compare to other existing approaches our proposed method offers security guarantees and greater matching accuracy.

Published: October 2022

The discovery of first ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, whose overexpression in cancer cells is responsible for exporting anticancer drugs out of tumor cells, initiated enormous efforts to overcome tumor cell multidrug resistance (MDR) by inhibition of ABC-transporter. Because of its many physiological functions, diverse studies have been conducted on the mechanism, function and regulation of this important group of transmembrane transport proteins. In this review, we will focus on the structural aspects of this transporter superfamily. Since the resolution revolution of electron microscope, experimentally solved structures increased rapidly. A summary of the structures available and an overview of recent structure-based studies are provided. More specifically, the artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictions from AlphaFold 2 will be discussed.

The high unemployment rate in Indonesia was dominated by vocational high school graduates approximately 8.63% of the 6.82 million. Therefore, to counter the circumstance, more entrepreneurs are required to explore job creation opportunities. This research was aimed at identifying the effects of entrepreneurial activity, gender, parents, self-confidence, and motivation on the entrepreneurial intent of vocational high school students. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The sample in this study was 85 final-year students of a high school in Central Java. A set of questionnaires was administered to explore the relationship between entrepreneurial intent and other contextual factors. The data derived from the survey were analyzed by correlation analysis and multiple regression. The results showed a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial activity, self-confidence, and motivation, with regression coefficients of 0.056, 0.098, and 0.083, respectively. These three variables separately exhibited zero significance. Meanwhile, gender indicated a negative and major influence, with a regression coefficient of -0.171 and a significance level of 0.006. However, parents were not able to demonstrate any effect but recorded a regression coefficient of 0.176. Thus, entrepreneurial activity, self-confidence and student motivation may affect the intention to be an entrepreneur. It is expected that this study could be a reference in developing students' entrepreneurship intent.

The role of molecular markers in variety development is very important in increasing selection efficiency through analysis of segregation patterns for subsequent populations. The aims of this study were to analyze patterns of soybean F2 population segregation using SSR markers and morphological characters and analyze phenotypic performances of four soybean F2 populations. Each F2 genotype was evaluated molecularly and phenotypically. The SSR markers and qualitative phenotypic traits, i.e. flower, hypocotyle, and pubescent color segregation ratios, were analyzed using Chi-square tests and the normality of quantitative phenotypic data was done using Liliefors test. Results showed that SSR markers segregated in Mendelian fashion, with a ratio of 1:2:1 of codominant SSR marker, in three F2 populations (Grobogan × Introduksi 10, Grobogan × Introduksi 13, and Biosoy 1 × Introduksi 10). Meanwhile, in F2 population Grobogan × Introduksi 12 the SSR markers did not demonstrate a 1:2:1 segregation ratio. However, that population skewed toward alleles from Grobogan. Phenotypic data of flower, hypocotyle, and pubescent colors were segregated in a 3:1 ratio of dominant monogenic genes for populations Grobogan × Introduksi 13 and Biosoy 1 × Introduksi 10. Liliefors analysis showed that quantitative characters, such as plant height, pod number/plant, seed yield/plant, and 100-seed weight observed in the F2 populations showed normal distribution as expected since the characters are controlled by many genes. Three of the four F2 populations resulted from this study can be used for genetic mapping study and for breeding programs of aluminum-toxicity, flooding, and drought tolerance characters in soybean.

Objective: To study the incidence, risk factors, surgical outcomes of accidental durotomies (ADT) in patients of microendoscopic lumbar decompression surgeries (MLDS) and the postoperative patient mobilization protocol.Methods: A total of 550 patients who underwent MLDS from January 2012 to march 2020 under single surgeon and single institute were included in the study and incidence of ADT risk factors like age, BMI, smoking status, diabetes mellitus, surgeon’s experience were studied for the same and early mobilization protocol for all the patients was followed.Results: Age >60 years (p=0.0062), bilateral decompression with unilateral approach, surgeons experience in the first 3 years over next 5 years (p=0.037) were the statistically significant risk factors for increased incidence of ADT. Most of the ADT were small which did not require primary repair and managed with sealants like gelfoam and fibrin glue. Postoperative recovery in JOA and ODI scores in both ADT and non ADT cohorts were same.Conclusion: MISS has low incidence of ADT and age >60 years and surgical technique of bilateral decompression with unilateral approach and surgeons expertise are the significant risk factors. MISS also has less risk of CSF leak symptoms and pseudomeningocele formation because of limited dead space formation in the soft tissue which helps in early postoperative mobilization and reduces the duration of hospital stay.

Background: Disparities in sleep duration are a modifiable contributor to increased risk for cardiometabolic disorders in communities of color. We examined the prevalence of short sleep duration and interest in improving sleep among a multi-ethnic sample of women participating in a culturally tailored wellness coaching program and discussed steps to engage communities in sleep health interventions.
Methods: Data were derived from the baseline survey and wellness coaching notes. Short sleep duration was defined as self-reported sleep <7 hours. Analyses utilized multivariable models to evaluate factors contributing to short sleep and interest in sleep improvement. We present our process of discussing results with community leaders and health workers.
Results: A total of 485 women of color participated in the study. Among these, 199 (41%) reported short sleep duration. Blacks/African Americans and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders were significantly more likely to report short sleep than Hispanics/Latinas. Depression and self-reported stress were significantly associated with short sleep duration. Interest in sleep improvement was reported by 52 women (10.7%). African Immigrants/Refugees and African Americans were less likely to report interest in sleep improvement. Community leaders and health workers reported lack of awareness of the role of sleep in health and discussed challenges to obtaining adequate sleep in their communities.
Conclusion: Despite the high prevalence of short sleep duration, interest in sleep improvement was generally low. This study highlights a discrepancy between need and interest, and our process of community engagement, which can inform intervention development for addressing sleep duration among diverse women.
