Objective The major goal of the current study was to create and assess solid lipids nanoparticles of Hydralazine hydrochloride to improve its bioavailability.Methodology Solid lipid nanoparticles SLN have recently received a lot of media interest.. Researchers are interested in it because of its increased stability and lower toxicity. Thermal homogenization of hydralazine chlorhydrate and various lipids resulted in the formation of solid lipid nanoparticles. Tristearin Glycerol mono stearate and Compritol 888 were the lipids used soy lecithin was utilized as a surfactant amp stabilizer and tween 80 poloxamer-188 were used for regulated release. Drug release and properties followed a diffusion-controlled release pattern.Results Particle size and PDI polydispersity index zeta potential entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release were all tested for the nanoparticles. The particle sizes varied between 45.72 and 576.4 nm. All the formulations had good PDI values ranging from 0.119 to 0.411. Blank SLN had a zeta potential of -15.2 mV but drug-loaded SLN had a zeta potential ranging from -12.3 to -32.3 mV. The measured entrapment efficiency was in the range of 78.68 to 96.25.Conclusion The cumulative percentage release of Hydralazine Hcl from different Hydralazine Hcl nanoparticles varied from 53.38 to 89.74 depending on the drug lipid ratio and the type of lipid used. The average percentage of drug released from different SLNs after 24 hours was in the following order F9 53.95 lt F6 56.75 lt F4 61.74 lt F7 63.90 lt F5 67.78 lt F8 69.09 lt F3 75.31 lt F1 79.36 lt F2 89.74. The release kinetic studies showed that the release was first order diffusion controlled and the n values obtained from the Korsmeyer-Peppas model revealed the release mechanism was Quasi-Fickian type n-value of 0.47.

Field and petrographic studies of the Makenene area in the Central African Fold Belt in Cameroon reveals several features testifying the mafic and felsic magmas interactions and their coeval nature. They are: (1) the Mafic Magmatic Enclaves (MMEs) scattered throughout the Makenene granitoid pluton and displaying sub-rounded shape and back veining, (2) flow structures consisting of schlierens at the tails of MMEs, folded MMEs along with felsic host granitoids with hinge indicating the flow direction, (3) irregular or cuspate boundary between MMEs and host granitoids, (4) quenching of apatite and biotites minerals, (5) MMEs enclosing other MMEs or felsic host granitoids. The mafic magma injection operated during at least four stages (from early to late crystallization state of the host magma) leading respectively to the formation of homogenized granitoid; sub-spherical MMEs scattered in the pluton; dismembered dyke and undisturbed synplutonic mafic dyke. The Makenene area registered four deformation phases (D1 to D4). The first two deformation phases occurred before the magmatism and migmatization events. The third phase is coeval to the magmatism and the migmatization period (at the Eburnean orogeny (2.08-2.07 Ga)). The fourth phase is related to the Panafrican orogeny.

Published: January 2023

This study utilized the interpretation of the airborne magnetic and radiometric data to delineate the potential structures that are associated with gold mineralization of the Minna and its environs, Northcentral Nigeria. The total field anomaly data was reduced to pole and upward continued in a bid to well positioned and enhanced the shallow (high pass) magnetic structures. The high pass structural lineaments were extracted and the resulting prominent E-W and NE-SW tectonic trends were revealed which are perhaps related to Eburnean (D1) and Pan-African (D2) deformation events respectively. Subsequently, numerous regions with relatively high degree of faulting and shearing effects were unraveled from the line density analysis of the high pass lineaments. The 3-D Euler deconvolution technique provides a synonymous trend pattern with the HP lineaments as well as estimate the depth extents to the potential structures with values varying between 82.7 and 211.9 m. It was found that the mineralized structures associated with gold over the study area interact with the hydrothermal fluids alongside/adjacent to the structurally deformed (relatively high degree of faulting and shearing effects) regions. The observed regions with coincident, of the hydrothermally altered and structurally deformed are therefore marked as the resourceful, structures for gold mineralization. Hence, the derived evidence from this study has updated the information on the structures that are associated with gold mineralization and also acts a mitigation major against the indiscriminate excavations of the studied region.
STUDYING THE EFFECT OF MAGNETICALLY TREATED SALT WATER ON SOME CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SANDY, SANDY CALCAREOUS, AND CLAY SOIL
Authors: Talat Rashad Rama
Published: January 2023

The main purpose of this laboratory study is to indicate the variation in some characteristics of the sandy, sandy calcareous, and clay soil under the effect of the magnetically treated tab and/or salt water. Salt water (SW, 2000-ppm) was prepared by dissolving the sodium chloride (NaCl) salt in tap water TW (2 g L-1). Tab water and/or SW were magnetically treated by passage through a permanent electromagnetic field of 14٫000 G (1.4 Tesla) strength for 10 min, and then allowed to percolate through a soil column continuously for 2 h. Some characteristics of the studied soil samples were estimated after the infiltrate of the magnetically (M) and non-magnetically (NM) treated TW and/or SW. The MSW has decreased the hydraulic conductivity (HC, m day-1) by 41.1, 12.8, and 51.4% compared to NMSW for sandy, sandy calcareous, and clay soil, respectively. Magnetic induction may affect the coagulation of the fine particles to form larger aggregates. For clay soil, MTW decreased the sum of fine particles by 40.5%, while the MSW decreased it by 28.75%, which may be a dispersing effect of NaCl soluble salt. The Zeta potential ζ values were slightly shifted by SW and MSW. The calculated electrophoretic mobility (U) of the colloidal particles has increased under the effect of the SW by 15.6%, 28.6%, and 58.1% for the sandy, sandy calcareous, and clay soil, respectively. Magnetized water may affect the soil properties positively and/or negatively depending on the soil class and the application conditions.

Objective.

To assess the legislative frameworks concerning childhood vaccination in the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean and propose a model legislative framework for Caribbean countries.

Methods.

This study included a survey of 22 countries and territories in the Caribbean regarding legal vaccination mandates for school entry, budget allocations, sanctions, or exemptions. A legal consultant conducted a comprehensive search and analysis of legislation regarding vaccination among 13 Caribbean countries/territories. A comparative analysis of the legislation under five themes—legislative structure, mandatory vaccination, national immunization schedule, sanctions, and exemptions—formed the basis for the proposed model legislation.

Results.

Among the 22 Caribbean countries/territories, 17 (77%) had legislation mandating vaccination, 16 (94%) mandated vaccination for school entry, 8 (47%) had a dedicated budget for immunization programs, and 13 (76%) had no legislated national schedules. The source of legislation includes six (35%) using the Education Act, eight (47%) the Public Health Act, and five (29%) a free-standing Vaccination Act. Three countries/territories—Jamaica, Montserrat, and Saint Lucia—had immunization regulations. In 12 (71%) of the 17 countries with legislation, sanctions were included, and 10 (59%) permitted exemptions for medical or religious/philosophical beliefs.

Conclusions.

Several countries in the Caribbean have made failure to vaccinate a child an offense. By summarizing the existing legislative frameworks and approaches to immunization in the Caribbean, the analysis guides policymakers in making effective changes to immunization legislation in their own countries.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o desempenho econômico-financeiro de uma companhia aérea sob a ótica da aplicação do modelo de análises tradicionais e modelo Fleuriet entre os anos de 2018 a 2021. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, a metodologia utilizada foi à pesquisa descritiva conduzida por meio de uma análise bibliográfica, e de um estudo de caso, onde esse foi realizado em uma empresa do segmento mencionado acima, em que os demonstrativos contábeis foram levantados no site Voe Azul. Para apuração dos resultados e tabulação, esses foram realizados por meio da estatística descritiva, utilizando a ferramenta Microsoft Office Excel. Diante dos resultados encontrados no que tange os indicadores tradicionais, a companhia apresentou dependência de recursos de terceiros e ausência de folga no seu capital de giro, dando preferência em trabalhar com esse tipo de capital para financiar o seu giro operacional através de financiamentos a longo prazo. Observou-se ainda que a companhia obteve baixa rentabilidade, não conseguindo bons retornos em seu negócio e consequentemente, apresentando prejuízos que negativaram seu patrimônio líquido. Quanto ao modelo Fleuriet, evidenciou-se por meio dos seus indicadores uma situação financeira para o ano de 2018 tipo I, excelente, indicando que a companhia possuía liquidez, e folga financeira. Já com relação aos anos de 2019 a 2021, uma situação financeira tipo VI, de alto risco, situação delicada que colocou a companhia em estado de possível insolvência, pois a mesma utilizava os recursos de longo prazo para financiar seus ativos e não realizava suas operações de maneira adequada. A partir dos achados foi possível perceber que a companhia não apresentou bom desempenho em três, dos quatro anos que foram analisados, apresentando valores negativos tanto nos índices tradicionais como no modelo Fleuriet. Ressalta-se, com tudo, o Modelo Fleuriet quando aplicado junto com os modelos de análises tradicionais propi ciam determinar com mais exatidão a veraz situação econômico-financeira de uma empresa, pois como foi evidenciado no estudo, os resultados obtidos por meio dos dois modelos se complementam.

Published: January 2023

Results of research in the field of wheat drought tolerance breeding by infrared thermometry method are presented. It is noted that in Russia this method is still not widespread. The parameter Canopy temperature depression (CTD) among collection samples of spring wheat was studied. The experiment was conducted in the Altai Territory in 2019-2021. Yield, elements of its structure and the duration of seedling – heading period were studied in 55 varieties of spring soft wheat. The canopy temperature was measured with a portable infrared thermometer. CTD was defined as the difference between the air temperature and the canopy temperature. The average CTD across the varieties was 6.1, -0.8, and 2.6 °C in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. Significant influence on the variability of this trait had both the factor of year and genotype. During the three years of the study CTD had a stable reliable relationship with the duration of the seedling - heading period (r = 0.27- 0.37), and in two of the three years - with the yield (r = 0.32 and 0.60). In the driest year (2020), CTD was positively correlated not only with the yield structure elements (r = 0.17-0.48), but also with the plant height (r = 0.55). The highest average CTD value for three years was recorded for Altayskaya zhnica (3.5 °C), Stepnaya niva (3.6 °C), Burlak (3.8 °C), Obskaya 2 (3.9 °C), Lutescens 360/96, Merzana, Alexander (4.0 °C) and Lutescens 208/08-4 (4.4 °C) cultivars.

One-year results of the national breast and cervical cancer screening program: Giresun province in the black sea region
Authors: Gürel Köksal Neslişah , Köksal Mustafa
Published: January 2023

Background/Aim: Increasing the survival rate of patients with breast and cervical cancers is possible by early diagnosis through screening individuals for cancer in the asymptomatic period. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic period, the possibility of early diagnosis in breast and cervical cancers has decreased due to the decrease in cancer screening applications. The aim of cancer screening is to increase the survival of patients by detecting precancerous lesions early. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the application and results of breast and cervical cancer screening in the Black Sea region’s Giresun province.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The results of patients who were admitted to the Giresun Early Diagnosis Cancer Screening and Education Center between July 1, 2021, and June 28, 2022, were examined. The mammography report results of women aged 40–69 years who applied to the cancer screening center for breast cancer screening, and the HPV and Pap smear results of the patients aged 30–65 years who applied for cervical cancer screening, were evaluated retrospectively through the public health management system. Mammography results were evaluated with BIRADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Dated System) scoring. The type of HPV and the cytology results from cervical swab samples were analyzed for cervical cancer screening.
Results: A total of 3567 people underwent mammography. Per the mammography results, the percentage of those with BIRADS 0 was 7.7% (n=278), the percentage of those with BIRADS 1–2 was 91% (n=3256), the percentage of those with BIRADS 4 was 0.7% (n=25), and the percentage of those with BIRADS 5 was 0.14% (n=5). HPV-DNA and cervical cytology examinations were performed for cervical cancer screening in 2326 patients. As a result of cervical cancer screening, HPV positivity was found in 6.44% (n=150) patients, and 14 different HPV types were found in the positive samples. When HPV types were examined, the two most common types were HPV type 16 (13.6%) and type 56 (11.9%). When the HPV types were examined in the positive samples, the two most common types were HPV type 16 (13.6%) and type 56 (11.9%). HPV type 18 was the least detected HPV type in patients (3.7%). When the Pap smear screening results of the 150 cases with positive screening results were examined, 3.33% were ASC-US (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance), 22% were reported as infection, and 62.6% were normal.
Conclusion: The role of primary care physicians directing patients registered in their coverage area to cancer screening programs is especially effective in raising society’s awareness and education on the issue. As a result, it is important that primary care physicians and related specialist physicians, together with cancer early detection and screening centers, adopt a supportive stance towards these programs in order for them to be implemented effectively.

Published: January 2023

Background: The study on the incidence of dental trauma and the use of mouthguards in 2005 revealed that handball players in Turkey do not use mouthguards. This current study evaluates the changes up to 2021 and evaluates today's athletes' attitudes toward using mouthguards.Methods: The data were collected from 68 professional handball players through a questionnaire. The same questions of the 2005 study were asked concerning the incidence of dental trauma and mouthguard use. In addition, today's handball players' attitudes toward using mouthguards were also investigated. The data were analyzed with Minitab 17. Independent samples t-tests were used to compare quantitative data. Fisher's exact test was used for ratio comparisons (percentage), and the Pearson Chi-Square test was used to distribute categorical data. The statistical significance level was taken as p<0.050.Results: This study shows that the athletes have experienced minor dental trauma since 2005. However, the difference is not statistically significant (p=0.291). Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between the distribution of dental injury types in the avulsion, crown fracture, and dislocation between 2005 and 2021 (p=0.431). While 77.4% of the athletes were aware of mouthguards in 2005, this rate has increased to 100% in 2021 (p<0.001). No mouthguard use was reported in the 2005 study, while 29% of the participants in 2021 reported mouthguard usage (p<0.001). The main reason for not wearing a mouthguard for the 2005 participants was lack of information, while in 2021, it was fear of speaking or breathing difficulties (p<0.001)Conclusions: Dental trauma remains a severe problem for handball players. It is pleasing that professional handball players in Turkey have started to use mouthguards. Dentists and sports managers should work together to reduce the frequency of dental trauma and prevent possible adverse effects.

Published: January 2023

Speaking has been widely regarded as the core element of English language learning. The success of students in learning English is often measured by how well and articulates they can express themselves orally. Despite its popularity and the fact that it becomes one of the most embraced language skills by educational practitioners inside the classroom, speaking has been and is still thought of as the most challenging skill to master. A number of teaching techniques have been invented to tackle this issue and among them is role-play. Relying on this situation, the present study seeks to reveal the possible impact of role-play on students' oral performance and speaking confidence. Preliminary and post-tests as well as questionnaires were employed during the study for the purpose of data collections. The analysis of the collected data suggests an improvement in the participants' speaking ability in the experimental group, indicated by an increase in their average score on the speaking test from 66.50 to 76.28. This score improvement appears to be higher than the control groups, whose average score moved from 67.29 to 71.76. In addition to that, the investigation on the collected data also shows that role-play had a significant effect on the establishment of positive interaction with both high and low speaking confidence participants in the experimental group. There was an improvement in speaking performance scores from 69.70 to 78.29 and 50.50 to 68.80 from high and low speaking confidence participants. The improvement witnessed in the experimental class also appears to be more significant than that of the control group, whose scores changed from 70.25 to 74.10 for high speaking confidence participants and from 52.50 to 59.20 for the participants with low speaking confidence. The results of the study indicate that role-play plays a prominent part in improving students' speaking performance.

Published: January 2023

Knowing the teaching strategy is very important in the teaching and learning process because it dramatically influences the students' outcomes. Many studies on teaching strategies have been done in many parts of the world. However, the studies on teaching strategies in the pandemic era applied by the teachers in a reputable school in Indonesia are rarely discussed. Thus, this research aims to explore a reputable school's teachers' experiences in applying strategies during covid-19. There were three senior high school teachers from one of the reputable schools in Bengkulu who participated in this research. This research adapted a case study design by using a semi-structured interview as the research instrument. The interview data were recorded, transcribed, and coded into several themes based on the focus of this research. The result showed that the teachers tended to use the same materials, such as books from the government and materials from the internet. In addition, the teachers dominantly use zoom meetings for the teaching media. Meanwhile, they had their preferences on the teaching strategies. Generally, the teachers prefer to implement online discussion, computer-based learning exercises, online collaboration projects, online lectures, independent study, and online learning using social networking as the teaching strategies. The result of this study can be used as a guideline for teachers from other schools in implementing the teaching strategies, especially in online teaching.

Based on the researchers’ observation, most of the students have lack of vocabulary though in mastering English vocabulary is an essential thing that should be known and mastered, especially for vocational higher students who will directly face the working situation. This problem happened because, in their perspective, understanding vocabulary only can be reached through translation and memorization. The subject of this research was taken two classes purposively named control class and experimental class. The samples were taken by determining specific characteristics of students during the learning process. The experiment class applied Storigami as the treatment, while the control class applied the Grammar Translation Method (GTM). Before applying the treatment, a pre-test was conducted for both classes with the same questions. Then, after the treatment, a post-test was conducted for both classes. After collecting and analyzing the data, the researchers found that teaching vocabulary by Storigami is more effective than GTM. The finding showed that T0 :2.639 > T.Tabel: 2.01 means the null hypothesis is rejected and the experiment hypothesis is accepted, or there is any significance between X and Y variables. Furthermore, the mean score of the post-test in the experiment class is higher than the mean score in the control class. It happened because teaching vocabulary by using Storigami is more fascinating for students, and origami can be applied to building students’ English vocabulary and students’ creative thinking.

A proposta de um planejamento que se fundamenta no território, como categoria analítica e espacial, deu origem ao programa de Pós-graduação em Planejamento e Gestão do Território da Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC). Na comemoração dos dez anos de sua existência, este livro reúne um conjunto representativo de pesquisas desenvolvidas por discentes, hoje egressos, e docentes, ao longo desse período. Reconhecendo os desafios contemporâneos que se impõem ao planejamento, esta obra tem por objetivo trazer contribuições para o debate sobre o planejamento territorial, tanto desde o ponto de vista conceitual quanto metodológico e empírico. Espera-se que esta publicação possa contribuir com a mudança do padrão de desenvolvimento atual e com a redução das desigualdades e desequilíbrios econômicos, sociais e ambientais que marcam a formação espacial brasileira.

Household waste continues to grow daily, forcing the Indonesian government to start thinking about a good management strategy that will not damage the environment or harm the community. A two-fold increase in waste is very likely to occur if there are no strict policies for waste that result in environmental and ecosystem pollution. Waste is not only a big city problem. Each district/city in each province has the same problems in handling waste. For example, in Bogor Regency, approximately 2,800 tons of waste must be managed and transported daily. However, only about 700 tons of waste can be transported and managed by the local government. This condition was also found at SDN Putat Nutug, Bogor Regency. Waste management at SDN Putat Nutug 03 Ciseeng, Bogor Regency, still relies on traditional methods, namely burning. Garbage-burning activities that do not comply with this procedure can cause problems such as air pollution. This community service activity aims to increase students' knowledge and skills through hands-on sorting, processing, and managing waste. The practical activities of waste processing are divided into two parts: the presentation of theory and education regarding waste and how to process it and the practical activities of waste processing with the 3R method. The activity results in environmentally friendly products from plastic waste, showing that the 3R method interests’ students. Hopefully, in the future, schools that apply the 3R method will increase the method of waste management so that the waste problem can be reduced slowly

Liptint is a Korean lip color product in the form of colored liquid (usually red, orange, and pink) that lasts long when blended on the lips. Liptint provides color gradations from bright red and pink to lighter colors, giving a fresh effect without being too much like lipstick. Liptint is a lip color similar to lipstick but tends to have a liquid texture. Currently, Liptint is more widely used by teenagers because the colors produced by Liptint tend to be more striking and bright than lipsticks in general. The partnership program for the community is more focused on providing commercialization potential by making KUBANANA Liptint Organic Multifunctional and Eco-Friendly for the partners of the Ms. PKK group in Batulappa Village. This activity was carried out in several stages, such as counseling on the benefits of Environmentally Friendly Multifunction Organic KUBANANA Liptint, training and demonstrations on the processing of Environmentally Friendly Multifunction Organic KUBANANA Liptint to partner groups, and mentoring. The results of this partnership program are that the community can process and utilize dragon fruit peel and Trigona honey as Environmentally Friendly Multifunctional Organic Liptint KUBANANA and produce differentiated products in the form of Environmentally Friendly Organic Lipbalm. The impact of this activity is to increase the economy of the PKK group through processing Environmentally Friendly Multifunction Organic KUBANANA Liptint.
