Introduction: It is important for individuals and families to prepare for potential disasters to enable communities to generate a consolidated response. It is estimated that 30 percent of residents of the fourth largest city in Idaho, Idaho Falls, are not prepared to deal with disasters. A 1-day training workshop for healthcare professionals and students at Idaho State University in Pocatello was organized to build their capacity for acute disaster response and preparedness. This study assesses the impact of the workshop in improving knowledge and attitudes of the participants toward disaster management.Methods: A mixed methods study design was employed. Pre- and post-tests were administered to the participants (n = 18) to examine change in self-perceived understanding of disasters, and disaster preparedness and management. Core competencies encompassing knowledge of disaster preparedness were assessed via 18 multiple-choice questions. Participant attitudes toward disaster training exercises in colleges, universities, and healthcare facilities were recorded, and written feedback regarding the workshop obtained. Chi-square and paired t-tests were used to examine changes in disaster preparedness and cumulative knowledge score. Quantitative variables and comments were analyzed using Stata.v.13 and Maxqda, respectively.Results: Our assessment indicates an improvement in mean knowledge score [pretest: 10.7 (2.8), post-test: 12.5 (2.9); p = 0.007] and self-perceived disaster preparedness and management. The attitude of audience toward training workshops was wholly positive in both the pre- and post-tests. Participants commented that the workshop was “excellent,” helped them polish their knowledge and skills, trained them to build emergency kits and communication plans, and perform triage amidst crises.Conclusion: Training workshops should be offered to communities to build their capacity to prepare for and respond to disasters.

Published: September 2022

Renewable energy generation, such as solar energy, produces electrical energy with fluctuating voltages. Light intensity is one of the causes of this fluctuating voltage. The resulting voltage is directly proportional to the intensity of the light. It is necessary to implement a converter system to increase efficiency in the solar panel system. The converter with an insert buck-boost topology is designed to regulate the direction of power in and out of the battery. Setting the direction of the flow of power is considered important in order to increase the efficiency of the solar panel system. This research focuses on the design and implementation of the Online Insertion TwoWay DC-DC Converter. The converter functions to connect the storage media and the DC Bus and smoothes the output current with a phase shift of the PWM signal by 180°. The phase shift feature is set using the ATMEGA328P minimum system. In addition to functioning as a buck (charging) and boost (discharging) battery, there is also an online monitoring function. The online monitoring feature is designed to display the DC Bus voltage value and battery voltage, while the online controlling feature allows users to manually change the converter mode from buck to boost or vice versa. The test results show that the Insertion Bidirectional DC-DC Converter can produce a stable voltage according to the given duty cycle. The average efficiency is 88% for buck mode and 92% for boost mode. In the blynk application, it can display the DC Bus voltage and battery voltage and the user can change the converter mode manually.

Current aircraft systems, which are mostly established on wired links are intricate, complex to road, heavy and more susceptible to damage as they should be. In this case most existing and perspective aircraft structures and their subsystems require periodic and scheduled inspection and maintenance functions. Hence, structural examining is vital, and it has a gigantic capacity to reduce the costs related to these processes. In this case the Kalman filter method is extremely helpful in the kinematic fusion procedure. Through extremely dynamic aircraft systems are continuous in time, the Kalman method is mainly applied. In this article the author studies the notion of integrating the magnitude into the data-fusion, as update as filtering procedure and find a developed and superior evaluation of the state. Accordingly, data update and state-propagation algorithms were used. Due to traditional inference methods for decision making or fusion does not sustain the practice of a priori data regarding the possibility of a planned assumption, however, it was found that a priori chance is considered in the Bayesian inference method. As a result, fusion sensitivity could indicate as inner explanation of the exterior nature across the aircraft. MATLAB simulation of a designed derivative-free Kalman filters for fusion shows that it could be the most important cause for its realization appealing state-space design and a prediction.

Published: September 2022

These days electricity supply and trading are developing quickly due to the digitalization of the energy industry. This development is also generated by the evolution of many new business models in the field and also by new technologies in form of smart grids, smart meters, demand response, smart homes peer-to-peer trading, blockchain, Internet of Things and not the least artificial intelligence. These technologies altogether have a great contribution to the field of electricity, furthermore conjointly make the digitalization of the electricity supply, trading, generation and transportation. The objective of the research is to determine the degree to which consumers agree to work with an aggregator to implement demand response programs. Additionally, there is an interest to research those services what makes these programs more attractive to electricity prosumers and consumers (both households and industry) as well to identify those triggers which make electricity consumers or prosumers to start utilizing them. We have to keep in mind that demand-side management beside offering monetary benefits and incentives, also assists final consumers and prosumers in energy management in the meaning of increasing the level of optimal generation and consumption and decreasing energy wastes. Beyond the abovementioned facts, the aim is on the decrease of carbon dioxide emissions generated by pollutant fossil fuel electricity generation and positively affecting global warming, without endangering the good functioning of electricity systems. Awareness and education have a greater role in achieving a more rational, conscious and optimal consumption of electricity though demand response programs. The issue has to be raised to the level of acceptance and importance similar to what recycling of other recyclable materials have these days, such as plastic, paper, various glass and metals.

Published: September 2022

The hospitality and tourism industry is one of the key economic sectors expected to take a leadership role in transforming the emerging green economy. Climate change impacts on ecological sustainability alongside considerable growth in the industry have raised critical concerns through increased emission of greenhouse gases, water, and energy consumption, and vast volumes of food waste. A rapid move from carbon and material-intensive ways of delivering visitor experiences with an emphasis on stakeholder involvement and ecosystem wellbeing makes tourism a leader in transforming the emerging green economy. This paper aims to determine the role of stakeholder engagement in the adoption of green practices by star-rated hotels along the Kenyan Coast. A cross-sectional survey design was applied in this study. Sample hotels for the study were identified using stratified random selection. Stratification of management tiers for selecting general managers and heads of sections was applied. Data from heads of sections were obtained using a semi-structured questionnaire while semi-structured interview schedule was used for general managers. Analysis of data included descriptive statistics in determining the frequencies, means, standard deviations, and percentages for each survey item. One sample t-test was used to test the statistical significance of Likert scale responses. Hypothesis testing was conducted using a multiple linear regression model. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicated that stakeholders’ engagement contributes significantly to the adoption of green practices (p=≤0.000≤0.05). Stakeholder’ engagement was also revealed as a key predictor of adoption of green practices in star rated hotels (β= .760, P - value<0.05). The study concluded that stakeholders’ engagement provide new ideas, define performance indicators for monitoring, auditing, comparison, and reporting green practices adopted by the star-rated hotels. The study recommended that hotel managers, hotel associations, and government agencies need to enhance green practices by strengthening the capacity of existing institutions to partner and collaborate with key stakeholders, mobilize green climate funds, develop and review curricula, training resources, and short courses in hospitality, tourism, and environmental studies.

Authors: Şahin Şakir , Parlak Jülide
Published: September 2022

The southwestern Anatolia is part of the Aegean extensional province, located in a seismically active convergent zone between the African and Eurasian Plates in the Eastern Mediterranean. This region is one of the most active and swiftly deforming domains of the Alpine–Himalayan mountain belt in Turkey. The plate boundary is shaped by the subduction of the African Plate under the Aegean-Anatolian plate consists of the Aegean and Cyprean arcs. The two separate slabs occurred along the plate border related to these arcs. These subducted slabs are separated by a gap beneath Western Anatolia. These arcs intersect in the eastern Mediterranean region and form the tectonic structures, north cusps, the Isparta Angle depending on the subduction. The Isparta Angle caused by the slab is located to the North of Antalya Bay as reverse V shaped. In this study, 3D seismic tomography method was applied to determine the subduction geometry of slabs along the Aegean and Cyprean arcs in the Eastern Mediterranean region. The 3- Dtomographic results obtained by using the arrival times data collected 39,059 earthquakes have revealed concrete results about subduction zones. P wave velocity structure has been compared with the tectonic structures. The tomographic results show that two separate slabs occurred along Aegean and Cyprean arcs. The tear zone between these two slabs is the Fethiye Burdur Fault Zone (FBFZ) and the Astenospheric upwelling occurs in the Fethiye Bay and continues northward from there. It has been determined that there are two slabs dipping to the northeast under the Antalya Bay and to the north under the Gökova Gulf. Based on the tomographic results, it has been determined that the subduction in these region continues to the depth of ~ 100 km. The subducted African lithosphere plays important role in the evolution of southwest Anatolian tectonic structures.

Effect of seasonal variations during dry and wet seasons on reproductive performance and biological and economic criteria of hair sheep under Halaieb rangeland conditions
Authors: Farrag Bahaa
Published: September 2022

Abstract. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of seasonal variations (wet
and dry season) on the reproductive and productive performance and to do an economic
evaluation of hair sheep under Halaieb rangeland conditions and determine
which season is the best in grazing areas. A total of 64 multiparous Abou-Delik
ewes were bred in two different seasons. During the first season (dry
season), a total of 35 ewes, 2–4 years of age and 32.02 ± 0.52 kg weight,
were bred during May and June, while lambing and lactation took place in
the months of November, December and January. On the other hand, during the wet season,
29 ewes, 2–4 years age and 31.06 ± 0.57 kg weight, were bred during
November and December, whereas lambing and lactation took place in the months of May, June and
July. Sheep grazed 8 h daily in the same pastures during the
study and then moved back to the barns to receive a sorghum vulgare supplement with a dosage of 250 g per head per day. The results revealed that there were no significant
effects of breeding season on conception, lambing and abortion rates.
However, the wet season had higher (P<0.05) prolificacy, mortality
rates, lambs' weight and lambs born to ewes serviced. Contrariwise, dry-season lambs had a higher (P<0.05) weaning weight. Also, milk yield
(mL d−1) and number of lambs weaned per lambs born (LW/LB) increased
(P<0.05) in the dry season compared to the wet season. No significant
differences between the two seasons regarding the biological criteria
studied were observed. On the other hand, the flock bred in the dry season
generated a higher gross margin than that bred in the wet season. In this
context, variable costs of the wet breeding season flock were recorded to be close to the value of the dry breeding season. Hence, it is concluded that the reproductive and productive performance of
hair sheep raised in grazing areas in the Halaieb triangle is affected when
lambs are born during the dry season because of the higher lamb mortality
rate during this period which eliminates any comparative advantage for the
good reproductive performance of ewes during the period of feed availability
in the wet season. The high lamb mortality rates and low weaning weights
in the wet breeding season lessen the economical merits of higher
reproductive performance during the seasonal availability of feed in the wet
season.

Current Status and Results of Excavation of 15∼16 District(Na) in Gongpyeong, Seoul
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Yang Hyunmo
Published: September 2022

The excavation survey of 15-16 districts in Gongpyeong-gu, Seoul, identified cultural traces from the early to the late Joseon Dynasty and Metallic artifacts were excavated. This Relic Site correspond to Gyeonpyeongbang in the central part of the Joseon Dynasty where government offices, royal palaces and commercial facilities are located.
As a result of the survey on the relic, in particular, many metal artifacts such as metal type, which were only identified as records, were excavated in the cultural layer(16th century), the early Joseon Dynasty.
Judging from the fence stone columns and drainage channels that can distinguish the boundary, the building remains where this metal artifact was excavated has an area of about 505㎡ of square land. There are a total of four building remains built within the site. This building remains are divided into two main buildings and two auxiliary buildings. Considering the housing construction regulations of the early Joseon Dynasty, it would have been owned by the class equivalent to 7 to 9 grade of the Joseon Dynasty's Poemgye(degree of official rank) rather than Seo-in group(庶人).
The relics identified by this excavation survey will be important data for grasping the social status of Gyeonpyeongbang in the early Joseon Dynasty. In addition, metal artifacts excavated from the 16th century were intentionally buried. The meaning of this artifact can be clarified more clearly through future research.

The goal is to determine their structural forms, trace their lineage, and review the construction period to examine and thus re-establish the characteristics of the Stone Mound Tomb in the central eastern and northern regions.
For this purpose, it was inappropriate to utilize the tomb classification system based on the traditional Goguryeo Stone Mound Tomb’s concepts of a grave and burial, which are related to the existence of a stairway. This is because these concepts do not properly capture the structural characteristics of the Stone Mound Tomb in the central eastern and northern regions. Hence, the Stone Mound Tomb was categorized into an “oval shape” and “quadrangle construction” as it was in contrast with the “rectangular type of construction” observed in Seokchon-dong, Seoul.
The lineage of the tombs is not related to Goguryeo or Baekje, nor does it belong to a specific tribe called Yegye. The oval twisted-coffin type tomb representing the original tomb and burial ceremony were generated locally. Further, the rectangular burial Stone Mound Tomb type was examined as a complex type of tomb that illustrates all the elements of the square type Stone Mound Tomb in the central Baekje region and the oval tomb type in the central eastern and northern regions.
Moreover, the elliptical frame type seems to have appeared in the first half of the third century and disappeared around the late fourth century. On the other hand, the rectangular type of tomb was constructed temporarily from the middle of the fourth century to the beginning of the fifth century, following the oval-shaped concentric-walled tomb.
It is expected that these characteristics and dates of the Stone Mound Tomb in the central eastern and northern regions will provide new perspectives on the nature of the ancient political body in the central region and the growth process of Baekje in the future.

Objectives: To assess the in-vitro antifungal action of propolis in contrast with the standard medications, fluconazole and chlorhexidine against Oral Candida albicans. Materials and Methods: MIC (Minimum inhibitory concentration) as well as MFC (Minimum fungicidal concentration) were attained from propolis, fluconazole and chlorhexidine against oral Candida albicans and GC-MS Analysis were completed. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Repeated measures ANOVA tests were used for comparison of quantitative data. Results: The mean zone of inhibition showed an increasing trend with increase in concentration of all the extracts. At all concentrations mean zone of inhibition was identified to be significantly highest with chlorhexidine. The mean zone of inhibition at 25mcg/ml concentration was found to be most noteworthy for chlorhexidine followed by ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Propolis. Conclusions: Propolis has an antifungal activity against Candida albicans. The mean zone of inhibition showed an increasing trend with increase in concentration. Candida albicans remained resistant to all propolis extracts at low concentration of 5 mcg/ml.

Kleeb Bua Daeng formula is a popular traditional remedy sold by the Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, Thailand. This formula contains Piper nigrum L., Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. and Centella asiatica L. components. A reliable and accurate analytical method for the determination of five major active compounds in this formula was developed and validated. High performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detector was used to quantify piperine, quercitin, kaempferol, asiaticoside and madecassoside in Kleeb Bua Daeng formula. The separation was carried out using a hypersil C18 column with detection at wavelengths 210, 280 and 370 nm. Gradient chromatographic conditions using a mixture of 0.05% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile allowed for complete resolution of the 5 active compounds. The validation outcomes for accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation and robustness demonstrated that this HPLC method was accurate and reliable for the simultaneous determination of active compounds in this formula. Hence, this developed and validated HPLC fingerprint method is appropriate for quality control of Kleeb Bua Daeng formula and could be applied to modified Kleeb Bua Daeng formulations.

New mixed ligand complexes were prepared from 2-Amino-4-nitrophenol (HL1) with curcumin (HL2) and some metal ions M = [ Mn (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Hg(II)], 1:1:1 Molar ratio by using ethanol as a solvent. The complexes were characterized by spectroscopic measurements (UV spectrum, IR spectrum, mass spectrometry, atomic absorption) along with chlorine content, magnetic sensitivity, melting point, elements analysis (C.H.N), molar conductivity. The octahedral geometry was proposed for all complexes prepared according to the results obtained. The biological activity of ligands and all prepared complexes were estimated for three types of bacterial, are [Bacillus subtilis, Eterobactern and Escherichia Coli). The results shown biological activity against the types of bacteria for most of the synthesized complexes compared with ligands.

Introduction: Maternal stress is harmful to the placenta. It induces apoptosis. Maternal folic acid (FA) supplementation is mandatory in Indonesia and other countries. FA is known as an antioxidant and probably reduces the apoptosis index in placenta with maternal stress. Aim: To investigate the folic acid supplementation in pregnant stress mice (Mus Musculus) on the apoptosis index and placental TNFα expression. Methods: Twenty-one Mus musculus strainded balb/c female mice were randomly divided into three groups. The first group was normal mice, the second group was given stress, and the third group was given stress and folic acid supplementation (3 mg/kg body weight/day in 0,5ml suspension). The ovulation was induced by pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin and HCG. The stress was given by immobilizing the mice in a transparent pipe and giving bright light twice a day on gestational day 10-15. On gestational day 16, the mice were sacrificed, and the placenta tissue was taken. The expression of TNF-α and apoptotic index was calculated by multiplying the score for % stained cells and staining intensity. Result: The expression of TNF-α (mean±SD) of the normal, second, and third groups were 2.1±0.37, 5.9±1.01, and 3.2±1.78. The apoptotic index (mean±SD) of the normal, second, and third groups were 2.7±1.09, 6.3±0.87, and 3.2±0.65. Conclusion: Folic acid supplementation reduces TNF-α and apoptotic index expression in the placenta with maternal stress, and there is a positive correlation between TNF-α and apoptotic index.
Complications of Haemoperitoneum due to Sexual Encounter in Pregnancy: A Case Study

Haemoperitoneum secondary to a rupture of tortuous vessels from the serosal surface of the right uterine fundal region after coitus is a rare but life-threatening condition. This case demonstrates that even a very rare diagnosis should be considered, especially when dealing with patients with atypical presentations. This case report evidences a 31-year-old woman in her first pregnancy, presenting to our hospital triage at night for abdominal pain after sexual intercourse at a gestational age of 33 weeks and 4 days, and there was no history suggestive of endometriosis or fibroids. Apart from mild pain and slight pallor, she was stable. Her initial CTG was normal, but we noted two unprovoked decelerations about 8 and 10 hours after admission. During the morning rounds review, intra-abdominal bleeding was highly suspected and an emergency caesarean section was arranged. The on-call surgeon was also alerted, and a class I caesarean section was performed through the midline sub-umbilical incision. About 800 ml of intraoperative hemoperitoneum was noted upon opening the peritoneum. A male infant weighing 2.3 kg was delivered. Clear liquor was noted. Meanwhile, a small defect of about 1 cm in diameter with active bleeding from the underlying tortuous vessel was noted over the right posterior wall of the fundus. The underlying myometrium was intact and there was neither through nor through tear nor perforation. Discussion: The precise mechanism for postcoital haemoperitoneum due to rupture of uterine subserosal vessels is not known, but it is hypothesized that: pregnancy-with the increased friability of the tissues and fixation of the genital tract coincident with gestation; vigorous intercourse; coital positions; vaginismus and genital disproportion are the possible explanations. A complete gynaecological history, including endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, and any recent surgical procedures, is required to make a diagnosis. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy and ruptured corpus luteal cyst are on the top of the list of diagnoses in the early stage of pregnancy. The majority of such cases do not voluntarily admit the preceding act of coitus during initial presentation, and care must be taken to elicit a detailed sexual history. Interestingly, spontaneous haemoperitoneum in pregnancy complicated by endometriosis may occur during pregnancy. Conclusion: The study concludes that pregnant women with a history of the recent coitus present with acute abdominal pain, even in the absence of vaginal bleeding, haemoperitoneum has to be considered. On the other hand, idiopathic or spontaneous bleeding should be kept in mind even if there is no possible explanation.
