Amidst the prevailing vaccine misinformation today, there is an urgent need for new methods to verify, inform, and promote vaccination. One potential approach involves utilizing early childhood education institutions, such as preschools since every student must present an updated vaccination card for enrollment or re-enrollment. By instructing the school staff on how to verify vaccination records or conducting vaccination campaigns within schools, there is the possibility of improving vaccination rates. The study investigated vaccination coverage among children aged one to six years in public daycare centers in a municipality in the Vale do Paraíba region of São Paulo. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving the collection of vaccination cards from two Municipal Early Childhood Education Schools (EMEI) in the area. The research considered children between the ages of one and six who were properly enrolled in the EMEIs during the data collection period, with exclusion criteria related to the illegibility of vaccination cards. Ethical clearance for data collection was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee involving human subjects, and informed consent was obtained from the children's guardians. Data were collected manually by analyzing copies of vaccination cards, and vaccination coverage was assessed based on the minimum 95% coverage recommended by the National Immunization Program (PNI) in Brazil. More than half of the analyzed vaccination cards (56.8%) were found to have outdated vaccination schedules. Several vaccines failed to achieve the recommended 95% vaccination coverage, including the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine, hepatitis A vaccine, varicella vaccine, and polio vaccine. In contrast, vaccines with adequate coverage included the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, pentavalent vaccine, rotavirus vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, and others. The analysis also revealed a concerning decline in childhood vaccination coverage, posing a risk not only in terms of resurgent diseases but also to the country's future economic productivity. As Brazil's population ages, failure to ensure children's access to vaccination may hinder their neurological, psychomotor, and social development, negatively impacting the future workforce. In conclusion, leveraging early childhood education institutions for vaccination verification and campaigns presents a promising strategy to improve vaccination rates in the face of increasing vaccine hesitancy and misinformation.

Authors: Marcon Gabrielli Teresa Gadens
Published: December 2023

No presente trabalho, realizamos o estudo de um instrumento de análise que foi desenvolvido especialmente para avaliar os Mecanismos de Defesa do Ego; trata-se do Questionário dos Estilos de Defesa, originalmente denominado Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40). O principal objetivo foi compreender como esse questionário auxilia na avaliação do modo como os indivíduos lidam com seus conflitos internos. A metodologia empregada consistiu em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de abordagem qualitativa e natureza exploratória. Os resultados revelaram que as sentenças elaboradas conseguem captar satisfatoriamente a essência das defesas para as quais foram criadas. Constatou-se que o instrumento apresenta um número desproporcional de questões ligadas aos Fatores Maduro, Neurótico e Imaturo, o pode gerar confusão no momento da análise. Embora seja consenso que um questionário sozinho não consiga dar conta de toda a subjetividade dos indivíduos, o DSQ-40 se configura como um esforço louvável da mente humana, não havendo dúvidas sobre valiosa a contribuição desse instrumento.

Objetiva-se sistematizar em domínios as estratégias para promoção da saúde mental dos profissionais de saúde. Esta revisão integrativa foi realizada através das bases de dados Medline, Scopus, SciELO, PubMed e Web of Science. Foi utilizada a estratégia PICo, com os vocabulários DeCS e MeSh, e com a inclusão final de 6 artigos, respeitadas as etapas de identificação, seleção e elegibilidade. Após leitura e análise temática, emergiram 5 categorias sobre os aspectos significativos para promover a saúde mental dos profissionais de saúde, a saber: físico, emocional, social, espiritual e educacional.  Foi possível refletir que pensar na promoção da saúde mental dos trabalhadores da saúde é imprescindível, uma vez que estes profissionais estão constantemente expostos às situações agressoras à saúde mental. A implementação de estratégias promotoras da saúde tende a favorecer não somente o profissional, mas também o serviço, os pares e a assistência prestada. Infere-se, portanto, que implementar as estratégias integradas, nas dimensões física, emocional, social, espiritual e educacional pode favorecer o reconhecimento das fragilidades e potencialidades do indivíduo, mas também a responsabilização do serviço para o bem-estar dos trabalhadores. Sugere-se a educação permanente como uma ferramenta de implementação no ambiente de trabalho, para promover a saúde mental dos trabalhadores de saúde.

Job Stress and Employees' Satisfaction in the Hospitality and Tourism Sector of North East India
Authors: Roy Dr. Nirmal Chandra
Published: December 2023

In the modern times, the demand for hotel and tourism services is increasing rapidly. As a result, hospitality employees face enormous professional pressure at work. This work pressure causes them stress at work. Since job satisfaction is a prerequisite for providing the highest quality services, it largely depends on the level of stress in the workplace. In this study, determinants of job stress have been identified first and then an attempt has been made to study the impact of job stress on employees’ satisfaction. The study has been conducted with the help of primary data collected from the sample respondents from the study region. The study applies factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The study confirmed that Eustress has direct positive relations with the job satisfaction of employees. Since, the study reveals that Duration of Work (DW), Job Profile (JP), and Expectation of Management (EM) have positively influenced job satisfaction. HR Policy (HRP) and Work Pressure (WP) negatively affected job satisfaction and these aspects should be taken care of by the management.

Published: December 2023

The study analyses the soft power approach to conflict resolution using tourism and community involvement initiatives. This study investigates the impact of Peace through Tourism (PTT) and Community participation (CP) on Conflict resolution (CR) in Border destinations of Jammu and Kashmir (UT) in order to explore the possibilities of promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies, as articulated by Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16). Using community involvement and tourism as a means to greatly minimise conflict of all kinds as the main objective, about 340 residents of border towns were polled with questionnaires. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM) were employed to test and validate the study's assumptions about the relationships between variables. Current research findings suggest that peace through tourism plays a key role in resolving conflict at destinations and may play a supportive role in building peace on a global and local scale. The results also showed that community participation in tourism development has a big effect on resolving conflicts and that community participation lets locals enjoy the benefits of tourism activities and gives them the power to improve their skills through small business ventures. The paper gives suggestions for how different groups can help build peace through cooperative tourism projects and community interaction based on tourism.
Homestay Service for Tourist Satisfaction in Rural Areas
Authors: Ghimire Anil
Published: December 2023

Homestay services are less well-known than hotel services for tourism. However, homestay is an important aspect of tourism, not just as lodging but as a travel attraction. This study examines the influence of the homestay experience on tourist satisfaction and its significance within the context of the tourism industry. The homestay experience was examined using 244 survey questionnaires. This study demonstrated that homestay experience affects destination satisfaction and behavioural intention. Homestay services are a destination attraction because tourists want to experience the destination's traditional culture. To increase destination satisfaction, include local cultural activities in the accommodation service. Therefore, this study has the potential to improve our knowledge of the hospitality sector broadly.

Authors: Mufidah Fathiya , Soewondo Prayatni
Published: December 2023

Microplastic removal from stormwater runoff from roads is necessary to reduce the effect of microplastic pollution in water bodies. Bioretention is a potential technology to remove microplastics in stormwater runoff from roads. A lab-scale experiment was conducted to determine the efficiency, effect on vegetation and discharge variation, and the kinetics of microplastic removal from stormwater runoff from roads using a bioretention cell. The experiment was done using an artificial sample based on visual characterization of stormwater runoff from highways, commercial, and residential roads. The vegetations that were examined were Vetivera sp. and Hibiscus sp. The operational discharge was varied based on rainfall intensity categories. The result showed that the removal efficiency was in the range of 92.4 to 99.3% with a mean of 97.2%. Statistical analysis (α = 5%) showed that variation in vegetation and discharge had no significant effect on microplastic removal using bioretention. The first-order kinetic analysis showed that the kinetic removal constant of the bioretention with Vetivera sp., bioretention with Hibiscus sp., and bioretention without vegetation was 0.0356, 0.034, and 0.0327, respectively. These results indicate that bioretention with Hibiscus sp. removed more microplastics at greater depths than with Vetivera sp.

Authors: Nugroho Joko , Adityawan Mohammad Bagus , Chaidar Ana Nurganah , Suryadi Yadi
Published: December 2023

LRT Depo is a vital infrastructure in the operation of Jakarta’s LRT system. The LRT Depo is located in the Kelapa Gading area. Kelapa Gading is an inundation-prone area in Jakarta. Hence a drainage system should be prepared to manage surface runoff in the area to avoid additional runoff to the surrounding drainage system. In order to reduce runoff in Jakarta Special Province, the Governor of Jakarta has imposed a regulation on surface runoff management for every developed area. The runoff control measures, promoted in the regulation to be applied, are in the form of infiltration wells and storage ponds. The principle of reducing peak discharge by a possible storage system for LRT Depo was designed and applied to comply with regional regulations on rainwater control. The drainage system, initially based on the regulations, was also modeled in the Storm Water Management Modelling software (SWMM). This study evaluated the drainage system by elaborating the reduction of the peak discharge based on the simulation. A reduction of peak discharge was observed in the modeling results. The proposed runoff control at LRT Depo Kelapa Gading is a proper design of infrastructure development for a flood prone area.
Lessons Learned in Interfacial Tension Prediction Using a Mixture of Sulfonate- and Ethoxylate-based Surfactants in a Waxy Oil-brine System
Authors: Kurnia Rani , Asfriany Nurfalah Dian , Wahyuningrum Deana , Marhaendrajana Taufan , W.R Siagian Utjok
Published: December 2023

The chemical-enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) method is applied to change reservoir rock or fluid characteristics by injecting alkaline, surfactant, and polymer or a combination of two or three of the compounds. Surfactant flooding improves oil recovery by reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water. Selecting reservoir surfactants, especially microemulsions, requires careful screening. This study predicted waxy oil system interfacial tension using surfactant mixtures at below- and above-optimum salinity. To predict the interfacial tension, microemulsion types, HLB, ideal salinity, and HLD were used. The study predicted oil-surfactant-water interfacial tension using SAE, FEO, and their mixtures. We improved the Huh equation by adding a fitting parameter, β, to accommodate the transition from type III to type II microemulsions as salinity increases. With increasing salinity, anionic surfactant’s hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions change, affecting the  values and surfactant layer thickness. This study improved hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLDN) by establishing a fixed interval for nonionic surfactants. Van der Waals attraction,  values and interface surfactant layer thickness are connected, reflecting the fact that lower  values reduce interfacial tension better. This study also found that surfactant packing at the oil-water interface increases the order of the oil-solution ratio and the microemulsion values with polarity.

Authors: Rochayani Masithoh Yessi , Menufandu Dahlia Gladiola Rurina , Dapa Rahmila
Published: December 2023

The growth of an organism can be modeled using a growth curve. However, bacteria's growth pattern differs from other organisms. Bacterial growth is divided into four phases: lag, logarithmic, stationary, and death. The experts re-parameterized the growth curve to match the growth phase of the bacteria. Bacterial growth patterns generally do not show a single sigmoid pattern but form two curves. Therefore, the double sigmoid model is more suitable. This study modeled the growth of the Pseudomonas putida bacteria by observing the optical density of the medium. Model parameters are estimated using the Non-Linear Least Square (NLS) method with the Gauss-Newton algorithm. The modeling results show that the double sigmoid model fits the growth curve of Pseudomonas putida better than the single sigmoid model. The Double Logistic model outperforms all models with the highest adjusted R2 and the smallest RMSE, AIC, and BIC values.

Authors: JosephNg Poh Soon , Taha Taha A. , Hussain Abadal-Salam T. , Zaynal Hussein I. , Ahmed Shouket A.
Published: December 2023

The concept of wireless power transmission involves the transfer of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without wires. The technology has become widely used in various mobile, industrial, and medical fields. This innovation eliminates the need for wires and batteries, making it a convenient and safe option for all users. Inductive and resonant coupling are the most commonly used methods for wireless power transmission. This work delves into designing and developing wireless power transmission hardware. A wireless power system comprises a transmitter (primary coil) and a receiver (secondary coil). The primary coil produces a magnetic field by passing alternating current through it. The secondary coil is then positioned close to the primary coil. When the two devices make contact, the primary and secondary coils become magnetically linked, causing the power to transfer from transmitter to receiver. To optimize the wireless power transmission using a resonant coupling, the paper tests and analyzes how different wire diameters, coil diameters, and the number of coils affect the output power.

For the collection of information, various databases such as PudMED, Scielo, Google Scholar, Scopus, Elsevier were consulted. During the bibliographic search, 25 articles related to the subject of the study were found, for which the PRISMA methodology was used.Results: by analyzing the different investigations, it was found that the automated analyzers showed an adequate concordance with manual microscopy for red blood cells, white blood cells and epithelial cells. However, in the case of bacteria and casts, a lower concordance was evidenced. Conclusion: urine microscopic analysis is crucial in medical diagnosis. The transition from manual methods to automated equipment has improved the efficiency and accuracy of the results. The comparison between both methods is fundamental to ensure the reliability of the results, which contributes to provide safe and appropriate treatments for patients

This study aims to determine the effect of Infant and young child feeding training on the knowledge and attitudes of Integrated Healthcare Center cadres in Teluk Lingga, East Kutai Regency.  The research is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest (one group pretest-postest) research design conducted in March 2023 in the working area of the Teluk Lingga Health Center, East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 51 cadres were involved as respondents by setting inclusion and exclusion criteria.  IYCF variables are carried out by delivering material, counselors, and practices.  The variables of knowledge and attitude were obtained using questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data is then collected and then analyzed with the Paired-Sample T-Test. The difference in the level of knowledge of Integrated Healthcare Center cadres before and after being given IYCF training was 62.61 to 83.67 and obtained a p-value of 0.000. This means that there is an influence of IYCF training on the knowledge of Integrated Healthcare Center cadres. The attitude showed a difference in the attitude of Integrated Healthcare Center cadres before and after being given IYCF training with an average of 35.53, an increase of 42.96, and obtained a p-value of 0.000, which means that there is a significant difference between the average score on the pre-test and post-test. IYCF training has a significant effect on increasing the knowledge and attitudes of Integrated Healthcare Center cadres. We hope that this training will be carried out continuously.

The purpose of this study is to determine smoking behavior among adolescents, particularly in a public junior high school of SMP Negeri 9 Palu City. This type of research was qualitative research with a case study approach. The informants in this study consisted of 10 people using a purposive sampling technique. The variables in this study consisted of knowledge, attitudes, facilities and infrastructure, and peers. The results showed that knowledge of smoking behavior was quite good regarding the dangers of smoking. The attitude of most of the informants towards smoking behavior was not good because they still accepted peer invitations to smoke. Access to cigarettes is quite easy by buying retail cigarettes at stalls near the school. Peers have a major influence on smoking behavior at school. Adolescents at SMP Negeri 9 Palu City, despite having good knowledge about the dangers of smoking, demonstrate inconsistent behavior due to positive attitudes, easy access to cigarettes, and strong peer influence. This highlights the need for interventions that address not only knowledge dissemination but also address attitudes and peer pressure, making it harder to access cigarettes near schools.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the knowledge and awareness levels of nutrition and dietetics department students about food nanotechnology. This descriptive study was conducted with 242 students aged 18 and over who were studying at the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics.52.1% of the participants are 22 years old and over, and 66.9% have heard of the concept of food nanotechnology (nano food). In the study, it was determined that the level of knowledge and awareness about food nanotechnology was high among those who had heard of the concept of food nanotechnology (nano food) before (p=0.017) and those who had knowledge of food nanotechnology (nano food) (p=0.000). Those who think that smart packaging systems that provide information about the quality of packaged food during storage and transportation will not be useful (p=0.001), those who think that smart packaging methods will be preferred instead of traditional packaging techniques with the development of nanotechnology (p=0.000), have ethical concerns about the use of nanotechnology in the field of food. The level of knowledge and awareness about food nanotechnology was found to be high among those who thought that the use of nanotechnology in the field of food was very low (p=0.000) and those who stated that the perceived risk level was very low (p=0.000). It shows that nutrition and dietetics students have limited knowledge about the wide application of food nanotechnology.
Bioavailability and health effects of some carotenoids by different cooking methods
Authors: Cakir Muhammet Ali , Helvaccıoglu Irem
Published: December 2023

Humans lack the inherent capability to synthesize carotenoids, necessitating their acquisition through dietary sources or supplementation. Among the carotenoids prevalent in our daily nutritional intake are beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, alpha-carotene, and zeaxanthin. They have antioxidant features thanks to their ability to capture ROS (reactive oxygen species) and free radicals. Particularly beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein are carotenoids with high antioxidant capacity. However, with the effects of factors, such as oxygen, high temperature, light exposure, and pH, they are oxidatively degraded and their bioavailability in the body changes. Among food processing methods, reducing food size and dietary fiber inhibits the absorption of carotenoids by micellization and inactivating pancreatic lipase, while monounsaturated fatty acids have been shown to increase bioavailability and absorption. In vitro studies on various vegetables and fruits with the effect of exogenous factors showed that the addition of oil, increase in lycopene processing, decrease in food particle size, increase in micellization with the breakdown of dietary fibers, and increase in bioavailability as a result of the destruction of cell walls with heat treatment. The addition of olive oil with heat treatment and the factors of decreasing food particle size have positive effects on health by transforming carotenoids into forms with high bioavailability in the body. This review endeavors to investigate the bioavailability of select carotenoids, namely lycopene, beta-carotene, and lutein, in light of various cooking methods and processes, as well as to elucidate their implications for health resulting from heat treatments.

Thermotolerant yeasts constitute a critical indicator for the effective management of product quality, food safety, and production processes in the dairy industry. This study aims to investigate the presence of thermotolerant yeasts in diverse dairy products within the context of Turkiye. In this study, pH and thermotolerant yeast properties of Turkish white cheese, butter, cream (Kaymak), and Tulum cheese were investigated. Thermotolerant yeast counts in butter samples ranged between 4.30 and 4.82 log CFU/g, with pH values ranging from 4.91 to 6.68. Thermotolerant yeast counts of Tulum cheese, white cheese and cream samples were <2 log CFU/g. The pH values of cream and Tulum cheese were ranged from pH 5.07-6.79 and pH 4.91-6.68, respectively. The mean pH value for white cheeses was 4.98. As a results, thermotolerant yeast counts of Tulum cheese, white cheese and cream samples were below the detectable value; however, a high number of thermotolerant yeasts were determined in butter samples. In conclusions, these findings offer valuable insights for evaluating the microbiological quality of different dairy products, aiding producers in enhancing safety and quality for consumers.
