“Postgraduateness”—A Project for Constructing a Renaissance Africa: A Decolonial Approach
Authors: Oparinde Kunle , Govender Vaneshree
Published: October 2019

This paper discusses the role of postgraduate research in the construction of a renaissance Africa where African ways are represented in African research. The study contends that, through postgraduate research, African institutions can effectively impart significant intellectual development which will allow the continent to actively answer African questions through the development of indigenous knowledge. Through a desk research approach, this study finds that problems on the African continent could be better tackled using Afrocentric approaches. As such, constructing an African renaissance requires thinking African, imagining African, researching African, and in a way, learning African by slightly unlearning the European and American. While the study does not propose totally discarding Eurocentric approaches, we propose the idea of hybridity, where existing Eurocentrically minded research can be used to conceive of and implement indigenous frameworks and methodologies which could be employed in addressing problems in Africa. Importantly, research work in Africa should begin to mirror African societies, with the objective of constructing a reborn African continent.

Authors: Opioła Wojciech , Czepil Bartosz
Published: October 2019

Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie o rolę kategorii pogranicza w polskiej politologii. Opiera się na informacjach uzyskanych w ankiecie skierowanej do 223 polskich politologów, w której zapytano ich o wagę oraz eksplanacyjny potencjał kategorii pogranicza w analizie politologicznej. Niski poziom responsywności uniemożliwia dokonanie generalizacji na całe środowisko politologiczne, dlatego tekst niniejszy jest jedynie syntezą opinii politologów, którzy odpowiedzieli na naszą ankietę. Kategoria pogranicza przedstawiona jest jako ważna i przydatna w analizie politologicznej, przede wszystkim ze względu na jej integralny związek ze współcześnie zachodzącymi zmianami, takimi jak globalizacja, deterytorializacja i regionalizacja. Pogranicze jest szczególnie istotną kategorią w politologicznej refleksji nad zmianą statusu państw narodowych oraz zmieniającą się funkcją granic państwowych. W tekście wyodrębniono również podstawowe konteksty badawcze, w jakich politolodzy wykorzystują pojęcie pogranicza. W końcowej części artykułu autorzy formułują postulaty teoretyczno-metodologiczne dotyczące stosowania kategorii pogranicza w analizie politologicznej.
Granica państwowa w teorii pogranicza
Authors: Opioła Wojciech
Published: October 2019

W artykule zaprezentowano wątpliwości dotyczące definiowania pogranicza polegającego na przyjęciu granicy państwowej jako podstawowego kryterium definicyjnego. Autor wychodzi z założenia, że granica państwowa może tworzyć różne relacje z pograniczem i nie jest koniecznym warunkiem istnienia pogranicza. Przede wszystkim możliwe jest wykształcenie się pogranicza społecznego, w którym to procesie granica państwowa nie odgrywa żadnej roli. Autor przedstawia siedem argumentów wyjaśniających to podejście a następnie przedstawia typologię pograniczy ze względu na ich relację z granicą państwową, dzieląc je na: pogranicze nadgraniczne, pogranicze reliktowe, pogranicze migracyjne, pogranicze mieszane.

Authors: McCarthy Anne E. , Bove Allyn M. , Piva Sara , Mecca Laurel Person , Schneider Michael J.
Published: October 2019

Objectives

To gain the perspectives of patients who underwent lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) surgery and physical therapists who treat spine-related disorders regarding rehabilitation and other care prior to LSS surgery.

Design

Qualitative focus group study.

Methods

Sixteen patients (4 female; average ± SD age, 64.3 ± 8.8 years; time since surgery, 9.9 ± 4.4 months) and 10 physical therapists (2 female; average ± SD age, 40.9 ± 6.6 years; time in practice, 17.2 ± 7.7 years) participated. Four groups were conducted: 2 with patients post LSS surgery and 2 with physical therapists who treat spine-related disorders. Participants were asked open-ended questions by a trained facilitator regarding their perceptions of preoperative LSS education and rehabilitation. Transcripts were coded and themes were identified.

Results

Analyses revealed 4 themes within the discussions: (1) desire for helpful information, (2) benefits of preoperative rehabilitation, (3) downfalls of preoperative rehabilitation, and (4) desire for coordinated care. Varying opinions on preoperative physical therapy between patients and physical therapists were discussed, revealing that similar numbers of participants held positive and negative perceptions of preoperative physical therapy. A desire for more thorough preoperative education and care was expressed by both groups.

Conclusion

There is a clear need for standardized preoperative LSS care and education. This may decrease misunderstandings about LSS surgery and its treatments in the future as well as improve coordinated care between surgeons and physical therapists.

Published: October 2019

Kinase-catalyzed protein phosphorylation is fundamental to eukaryotic signal transduction, regulating most cellular processes. Kinases are frequently dysregulated in cancer, inflammation and degenerative diseases, and because they can be inhibited with small molecules, they became important drug targets. Accordingly, analytical approaches that determine kinase activation states are critically important to understand kinase-dependent signal transduction, and to identify novel drug targets and predictive biomarkers. Multiplexed inhibitor beads (MIBs or kinobeads) efficiently enrich kinases from cell lysates for LC-MS analysis. When combined with phosphopeptide enrichment, kinobead/LC-MS can also quantify the phosphorylation state of kinases, which determines their activation state. However, an efficient kinobead/LC-MS kinase phospho-profiling protocol that allows routine analyses of cell lines and tissues has not yet been developed. Here, we present a facile workflow that quantifies the global phosphorylation state of kinases with unprecedented sensitivity. We also found that our kinobead/LC-MS protocol can measure changes in kinase complex composition and show how these changes can indicate kinase activity. We demonstrate the utility of our approach in specifying kinase signaling pathways that control the acute steroidogenic response in Leydig cells; this analysis establishes the first comprehensive framework for the post-translational control of steroid biosynthesis.
The Role of Surfactant Force Field on the Properties of Liquid/Liquid Interfaces
Authors: Servis Michael , McCue Alex , Casella Amanda , Clark Aurora
Published: October 2019

Surfactant-laden liquid/liquid interfaces mediate numerous chemical processes, from commercial applications of microemulsions to chemical separations. Classical molecular dynamics simulation is a prevalent method for studying microscopic and thermodynamic properties of such interfaces. However, the extent to which these features can be reliably predicted, and the variations in predicted behavior, depend upon the force field parameters employed. At present, the impact of force fields upon simulated properties is relatively understudied. Yet recent advances to sampling and analysis algorithms are increasing the interpretation of simulation data and therefore understanding force field dependence is increasingly relevant. In this study, the impact of the force field of the surfactant tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), as well as that of water, is investigated at a water/(n-hexane + surfactant) interface. Empirical charge scaling was employed to modulate the hydrophilicity of the surfactant. As anticipated, the relative hydrophilicity of TBP influences a number of properties, including the adsorbed concentrations of TBP at the interface, and macroscopic properties that result from hydrogen bonding interactions, such as interfacial tension and width. The dynamic properties of solvents at the interface are strongly modulated by the variation in hydrogen bond strength caused by different charge scaling of the TBP model. This includes the residence times of water at the interface, where stronger water-TBP hydrogen bonding causes long-lived residences. Interestingly, there are a number of features that are relatively insensitive to the TBP hydrophilicity. In one important case, the concentration of water-bridged TBP dimers was only impacted for the least hydrophilic model. As these dimeric species are the building block of surface protrusions that lead to water transport across the interface, this implies that collective organizational patterns and surface structures that derive from multiple driving forces (e.g. TBP hydrophilicity and organic solvent free energies of solvation) are less sensitive to individual force field parameters. Further, we note that competitive interactions can "cancel" the effects of changing TBP charge on interfacial properties. One example is the orientation and hydrogen bonding structure of interfacial water, where the direct TBP-water hydrogen bonding competes against the indirect TBP-induced interfacial roughness. In combination, these observations may assist future simulation studies in calibrating surfactant models to, or interpreting results of, a broad range of dynamic, structural and thermodynamic properties.
Modeling the OH-Initiated Oxidation of Mercury in the Global Atmosphere Without Violating Physical Laws

Published: October 2019

We present a way for modelers to include the OH + Hg reaction while accounting quantitatively for the dissociation of HOHg•. We use high levels of quantum chemistry to establish the HO-Hg bond energy as 11.0 kcal/mole, and calculate the equilibrium constant for OH + Hg = HOHg•. Using the measured rate constant for association of OH with Hg, we determine the rate constant for HOHg• dissociation. Theory is also used to demonstrate that HOHg• forms stable compounds, HOHgY, with atmospheric radicals (Y = NO2, HOO•, CH3OO•, and BrO). We then present rate constants for use in in modeling OH-initiated oxidation of Hg(0). We use this mechanism to model the global oxidation of Hg(0) in the period 2013-2015 using the GEOS-Chem 3D model of atmospheric chemistry. Because of the rapid dissociation of HOHg•, OH accounts for <1% of the global oxidation of Hg(0) to Hg(II), while Br atoms account for 97%.

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in blood plasm. This protein consisted of 585 amino acids with a molecular weight of 66 kDa and 17 disulfide bonds. HSA obtained from conventional technique allow viral or prion contamination. For that reason, recombinant DNA technology becomes a promising alternative. Because of its well-known genetic, simplicity, and capacity to accommodate many foreign protein, Escherichia coli remains the most widely used in the production of recombinant proteins. But, overproduction of protein may lead to the formation of inclusion bodies and proteolytic degradation. These problems can be overcome by using protease-deficient strain and protein secretion into periplasmic space. The objective of this research is to secrete recombinant HA on E. coli BL21(DE3) using TorA signal peptide and proved using SDS-PAGE. This research method begins with the preparation of competent cell and transformation of E. coli BL21(DE3), expression of recombinant HA in E. coli BL21(DE3), and characterization of expression result by using SDS-PAGE. The result of this study was rHSA can be secreted into extracellular medium using TorA signal peptide with a molecular weight of ± 66.5 kDa.

Published: October 2019

Medicine management is an approach supported by evidence to prescribe and manage the patient’s medicines to protect the safety, tolerability, and potency of the medication. It helps practitioners to achieve the optimum use of medicines for a patient, optimizes the treatment benefits and accomplishes the best results for each patient. The three components of the Medicine Management System (MMS), which are Electronic Health Record (EHR), e-prescription, and Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) are vastly used. Despite the values of MMS, only 15.2% of public hospitals in Malaysia utilize the system using different features. This paper reviewed the components of the current MMS, the utilization and challenges of MMS implementation in the Malaysian context, and proposed a new integrated MMS. The proposed MMS is grounded on three theories, namely System Theory, Utilization Theory, and Evidence-Based Theory. The main aspects of the integrated MMS are e-prescription, appropriateness of dosage regimen, covering best current evidence, show alerts of any medicine-related issues, and centralization of patient data that will be designed for all healthcare centers. If any issues arise in the prescribed medicine, an alert will be supported by the current foremost evidence that shows on the prescriber’s system. However, if no issue is detected, the prescription will be saved in the patient’s record and will show on the pharmacy system with direction and cautions related to the medicines. The proposed MMS is postulated to increase the productivity of the healthcare system by reducing medicine-related issues, improve communication among healthcare professionals, enhance patient health, and enhance practitioner operations.
Unemployment after the Recession: A New Natural Rate?
Authors: Tasci Murat , Zaman Saeed
Published: October 2019

The past recession has hit the labor market especially hard, and economists are wondering whether some fundamentals of the market have changed because of that blow. Many are suggesting that the natural rate of long-term unemployment— the level of unemployment an economy can’t go below—-has shifted permanently higher. We use a new measure that is based on the rates at which workers are finding and losing jobs and which provides a more accurate assessment of the natural rate. We find that the natural rate of unemployment has indeed shifted higher—but much less so than has been suggested. Surprising trends in both the job-finding and job-separation rates explain much about the current state of the unemployment rate.

Published: October 2019

The reaction between zinc(II) acetate dihydrate and ((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-N-methyl­hydrazinecarbothioamide (L) in methanol results in the formation of Zn(II) complex [Zn(C11H11N4S)2] (1). The complex is characterized by CHNS and various spectroscopic analyses. The structure of the complex is determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. XRD reveals that the Zn(II) complex crystalizes in the triclinic system with the P-1 space group and has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Two ligand molecules are coordinated to the Zn(II) ion in the bidenatate monobasic (NS–) fashion.
Исследование методом РФЭС пространственного распределения металлов в биметаллических Au—Ag частицах с учетом распределения частиц по размерам
Authors: Смирнов М.Ю. , Калинкин А.В. , Бухтияров В.И.
Published: October 2019

Получены выражения для отношения интенсивности Оже-линии AgMVV к интенсивности фотоэмиссионной линии Ag3d, IMVV/I3d в спектрах РФЭС (излучение AlKα, hν = 1486.6 эВ) биметаллических частиц Au—Ag, расположенных на плоской поверхности носителя. Рассмотрены биметаллические частицы полусферической формы с неоднородным распределением металлов, при котором ядро из атомов серебра покрыто оболочкой из атомов золота. Частицы характеризуются нормальным распределением по размерам (по радиусу ядра R) с максимумом при Rmax = 3.5 нм и с шириной σ = 0.5 нм, 1.0 нм и 2.0 нм. Проведен анализ биметаллической системы в условиях независимости от R: в одном случае — толщины оболочки δ = const(R) и в другом случае — атомного отношения золота к серебру γ = const(R). Показано, что по мере формирования вокруг Ag-ядра Au-оболочки с ростом γ происходит существенное уменьшение отношения IMVV/I3d за счет более эффективной экранировки оболочкой AgMVV Оже-электронов по сравнению с Ag3d фотоэлектронами. зависимость IMVV/I3d от γ слабо связана с σ и выбором условия δ = const(R) или γ = const(R). При образовании сплава с однородным пространственным распределением атомов золота и серебра по объему частицы отношение IMVV/I3d также уменьшается с ростом γ, но в значительно меньшей степени. Полученные выражения могут быть использованы при исследовании методом РФЭС процесса формирования нанесенных биметаллических частиц в модельных планарных системах и изменений, происходящих с частицами при их термической обработке в реакционной среде.

Published: October 2019

The dissociation of oxygen molecules and generation of two separated oxygen atoms is an important step in fuel cells. The activation of the bond linking two oxygen atoms in the oxygen molecule usually needs large activation barriers on metals utilized as catalysts. In the present study, the characterization and catalytic performance of four-atom Al nanocluster (Al4) as well as XAl3 (X = Ti and Sc) nanoalloys in activation of the oxygen molecule are investigated using density functional theory. Our results show that the tetrahedral isomer of the Al4 nanocluster lies lower in energy (Ecoh = –33.35 kcal/mol) than does the corresponding rhombus isomer (Ecoh = –31.05 kcal/mol). Also, transition metal (Ti and Sc) doping reduces the reacti­vity of the Al4 nanocluster. In consistent with the suggestion of reactivity descriptors used in the present study, our results reveal that the maximum catalytic performance in activation of the oxygen-oxygen bond is related to the pristine Al4 clusters. The energy barrier of O2 activation on the Al4 system (21.26 kcal/mol) exhibits that the activation of the bond linking of two oxygen atoms on Al4 is kinetically preferable. In this respect, our study shows that the Al4 nanocluster can be considered as an excellent catalyst for activation the oxygen molecule.

Mexico is an important producer of organic coffee worldwide. A sector of coffee growers in the municipality of Ixhuatlán del Café, Veracruz, Mexico, use organic amendments as edaphic improvers. Hypothetically, the contributions of these organic fertilizers cause edaphic changes that improve coffee production. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine changes in soil chemical fertility caused by incorporating fertilizer mixtures made from organic sources, as well as their contribution to improving yield. To verify this hypothesis, four organic fertilizers formulated from dolomite lime, coffee pulp (PC), biol (fermented liquid fertilizer) and a soil improver called PSD® were added to a Cromic Luvisol (cutanic) soil. After three, six and nine months, the contribution of the treatments to the soil variables organic matter, pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphorus, and interchangeable bases (K, Ca, Mg, Na) were determined. In parallel, yield was evaluated. The results indicate that six months after application of the treatments, the greatest depletion of the organic sources added occurs, coinciding with a greater release of the nutrients. The dose of 300 g of dolomite lime tree-1 supplied (Treatment 1) was insuff icient to neutralize the strong initial soil acidity (pH 4.3). The coffee pulp and biol utilized are organic fertilizers that, because of their C: N ratio of less than 16, are of rapid mineralization and slightly increased levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and interchangeable bases, reaching only low or moderately low levels. The dolomite lime and PCD® of Treatment 4 improved the pH, Ca and Mg, although these changes are not reflected in increased coffee yield.

Oil and gas industry produces wastewater (produced water), which contains hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other components, such as mineral salts essential for plant nutrition. Hydrocarbons presence on produced water limits its potential use in the agriculture, as its lead to inhibition of plant growth. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of hydrocarbons analogous contained in the produced water on 1) pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of irrigation leachate, 2) plant´s morphological variables, 3) mineral concentration, 4) fruit pH, EC and total dissolved solids (TDS), during flowering and fruiting stages in tomato grown into greenhouse conditions. As source of produced water were used diesel at concentrations of 20 and 25 mg L‑1, gasoline at 40, 50 and 60 mg L-1, and benzene at 75 mg L-1, applied in the substrate by means of a syringe. All plants treated with hydrocarbons reached the fruit setting and ripening stage at the 6-cluster. Depending on their type, concentration, and exposure time, hydrocarbons modif ied the pH and EC of the irrigation leachate, caused signif icant morphological changes with longer exposure time, and restricted the biomass production. Mineral concentration differed signif icantly among plant organs, affecting mainly the sodium uptake in stems and fruits. The variables of fruit quality, EC and TDS were favorably modif ied by most treatments.
General inbreeding coefficient of maize synthetics derived from three-way line hybrids
Authors: Ibarra-Sánchez Alejandro , Rodríguez-Pérez Juan Enrique , Sahagun-Castellanos Jaime
Published: October 2019

The scarcity of pure and unrelated maize inbred lines that possess high combining ability in Mexico has led breeders wishing to form single crosses to develop double-cross or three-way line hybrids (TWLHs) instead. However, some of the farmers who grow these hybrids cultivate their advanced generations later on.  Although the resulting populations can be viewed as the synthetics that the random mating of the parental lines (SynL) of these hybrids would produce, there may be differences. The synthetic variety whose parents are t TWLHs (SynT) is interesting because the contributed gene frequencies of the three lines that are parents of a TWLH are not balanced and this may generate a difference between the inbreeding coeff icients (ICs) of the SynL and SynT. Since an unbiased and general inbreeding coeff icient of the SynT and a prediction formula for the SynT genotypic mean (GM) are not yet known, the objective of this study was to derive formulae for these two important parameters of SynT. To form the t TWLHs, it was assumed that 3t unrelated lines whose IC was F (0 ≤ F ≤ 1) were used. Unbiased and general formulae for FSynT and GM were derived for the f irst time. In particular, it was found that FSynT = [3(1 + F)]/(16t). Since the inbreeding coeff icient of the SynL derived from the same 3t lines is (1 + F)/(6t), then FSynT > FSynL. These f indings suggest that the genotypic mean of the SynL grain yield is larger than the SynT’s.

Current methods for detecting mites in mouse colonies have limitations in terms of cost, accuracy, and throughput. To address these limitations, we developed PCR assays to detect Myocoptes musculinus in fecal samples. Using a newly generated ribosomal RNA sequence of M. musculinus
(MC28S), we developed PCR and qPCR assays capable of detecting M. musculinus mites or eggs ingested during grooming. To determine our ability to detect mites, we tested fur swabs and feces from mouse colonies experimentally infested with M. musculinus and Demodex musculi,
2) Myobia musculi and Radfordia affinis, 3) M. musculinus and M. musculi, and 4) no mites (negative control). The MC28S PCR and qPCR assays positively identified M. musculinus in groups 1 and 3. The MC28S PCR assay detected M. musculinus in 9 of 10
fecal samples from known-positive animals, whereas the qPCR assay correctly identified M. musculinus in all 10 fecal samples. To our knowledge, this report is the first description of PCR-based detection of murine mites in feces. By eliminating the need for pelt examinations, mite detection
from fecal samples can facilitate mite detection in sentinel or quarantine programs.
WINTER HARDINESS OF BREAD WHEAT FROM THE VIR COLLECTION IN ENVIRONMENTS OF THE NORTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL BLACK SOIL REGIONS OF RUSSIA

Published: October 2019

Background. Winter wheat resistance to adverse winter­ing conditions is one of the most important adaptive charac­teristics. To obtain high yields, modern wheat cultivars should have various protective reactions. For their success­ful combination in one genotype, the availability of appro­priate initial material is of great importance. In Russia, the accessions from the VIR collection are traditionally used as initial material for wheat breeding. The aims of the present study were (1) to evaluate winter hardiness in accessions from the VIR collection in a field test, and (2) to use the ob­tained data and those on the geographical origin of acces­sions for making up the target sub-collection and perform­ing its eco-geographical studies.

Materials and methods. The initial sample for field screening contained 431 acces­sions of common winter wheat from different regions of Russia and the former USSR, and 484 accessions from 18 foreign countries. Winter hardiness of these accessions was tested in the environmental conditions of the North­western region (Pushkin, 59°41′N 30°20′E, 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2013/2014) and of the Central Black Soil re­gion (Yekaterinino, 52°59′N 40°50′E, Tambov Province, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009). The degree of winter hardi­ness was determined in accordance with the technique de­veloped at VIR.

Results and conclusions. In 2006/2007, in Pushkin, a high and a very high degree of winter hardiness was displayed by 114 accessions with the origin from Rus­sia and the former USSR as well as by 12 accessions from foreign countries. Based on the obtained data and taking into account the diversity of the geographical origin of ac­cessions, the target sub-collection was formed, whose ac­cessions were subjected to eco-geographical two-year field studies (Pushkin, 59°41′N 30°20′E, 2007/2008, 2013/2014, and Yekaterinino, 52°59′N 40°50′N, Tambov Province, 2007/2008, 2008/2009). The Friedman’s variance analysis has shown that variation on winter hardiness in 158 acces­sions from the target sub-collection was determined by the environmental conditions of wheat cultivation (χ2э = 256.7; df = 4; χ2W=0.05 = 9.5) and by genetic differences between ac­cessions (χ2э = 239.3; df = 157; χ2W=0.05 = 187.2) at that effect of the prior was stronger than that of the latter. By using the cluster analysis (k-means algorithm), the target sub-collec­tion structure has been revealed. Twelve accessions that overwintered well at both geographical locations during all the years of testing were identified.

Based on IDHS Survey in 2012, the average Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) was recorded at 359/100,000 live births. The average mortality rate was much higher compared to the results of IDHS survey in 2007 which was reached 228/100,000 live births. World health organization (WHO) in 2000s introduced Intranatal Care to prevent complications in childbirth. Intranatal care then was introduced to the student through university subject, in which 40% was theory and 60% was laboratory clinic practicum. This research aimed to determine the correlation between laboratory skills frequency and the result of intranatal care practicum of midwifery program students of health faculty in Universitas Muhammadiyah Banjarmasin. Methods: This research was quantitative study using descriptive analytic method with cross sectional approach. Sampling technique used was total sampling. The data were collected using secondary data which was presented in the form of data, tables, diagrams, or research topics by using Chi Square test with 95% significance level of 5,991. 32 (37,2%) respondents with <5 times of lab skill frequency showed <75 test scores, while 51 out of 54 (59,3%) respondents who had â‰¥5 lab skill frequency had â‰¥ 75 exam scores. Statistical analysis using Chi Square showed the value of p=0,000, which means that there was a correlation between lab skill frequency and the results of the practical test. Conclusion: It can be concluded that improving learning activities in the laboratory will improve students' practical abilities

There are about 2.8 million incident of perineal rupture in maternal physiological labor. In 2050,it is estimated that the incidence of perineal rupture can be 6.3 million if it is not accompanied by a good midwifery care. In 2016, in Trawas, there was (89%) perineal rupture in primiparas and (57%) perineal rupture in multiparas. Perineal rupture incidences due to parity were still very high. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parity and the incidence of perineal rupture . It is quantitative studyusing a cross sectional approach, by using analysis of physiological maternity womenÂ  medical record data from January to April 2017 of 130 peoplein Trawas Public Health Center, Mojokerto Regency.The dataanalysis used was Chi - Square , indicated by p value = 0,000 with É‘ = 0,05. It means that the value of p <É‘, so H1 is accepted. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between parity and the incidence of perineal rupture on physiological maternity women in Trawas Public Health Center,Mojokerto Regency. Midwives can apply collaboration with patients and their families to have physical and psychologicalpreparation with an alternative of hypnobirthing methods.
