Indonesia is rich in biological natural resources and has diversity spread throughout Indonesia. One of the typical Indonesian plants, especially in Kalimantan, is Limpasu. Limpasu is a typical Kalimantan plant, where this plant has many nutritious contents such as antioxidants and has high potential to be used as a raw material for making microcrystalline cellulose. Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is cellulose that is partially purified, then processed with ɑ-cellulose preparations. The aim of this research is to obtain microcrystalline cellulose from Limpasu fruit peel waste. The research method used in this research is chemical delignification, followed by hydrolysis using dilute acid to produce MCC, then characterized with Avicel PH 102 as a commercial comparison. Based on the research results, the yield of α-cellulose was 14.14% for simplicia powder, the MCC yield was 11.48% for α-cellulose and the characterization of MCCKBL powder showed similar characteristics to Avicel® PH 102 as a comparison.

Lavender essential oil 15% can be used as an anti-mosquito protection power on average 56% at 6 hours. Rosemary has a more fragrant aroma and can make mosquitoes uncomfortable and avoid it. This study aims to determine physical stability of mosquito repellent lotion. Lavender oil mosquito repellent lotion (Lavandula angustifolia) and rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) made in 3 formulas, namely F1 containing lavender oil (10%), F2 (15%), and F3 (20%), and F1 containing rosemary oil (30%), F2 (25%), and F3 (20%). Mosquito repellent lotion was tested for its physical stability using the cycling test method which included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, adhesion, and spreadability. In this research, citronella and lavender oils can be formulated into anti-mosquito lotions. The results of physical stability (organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, spreadability and adhesion) using the cycling test method show that the anti-mosquito lotion did not change during storage and the results were in accordance with the expected specifications. It can be concluded that the difference in the concentration of lavender and rosemary essential oils does not affect the stability test of the anti-mosquito lotion preparation.

P-chromophore stability of Mehlich-1 and Mehlich-3 under Braga & Defelipo or Murphy & Riley dosing methods
Authors: Pogorzelski Denison Queiroz , Santos Wedisson Oliveira , Pimentel Gabriel Grossi , Ballotin Fabiane Carvalho , Matias Patricia Cardoso , Vergütz Leonardus
Published: May 2024

The performance of colorimetric methods for P quantification has been overlooked by researchers for decades. We investigated the performance of two blue colorimetric methods for P quantification, Braga and Defelipo (B&D) and Murphy and Riley (M&R), using two commonly soil P extractants, Mehlich-1 (M1) and Mehlich-3 (M3). Specifically, we evaluated the color development time and its stability in different soil extractant solution proportions (1:1 or 1:4 v/v), the optimum wavelength, limits of detection, and element quantification. Our results indicate that M3 leads to lower limits of detection and quantification for both colorimetric methods, particularly for B&D. For M1, the volumetric ratio (1:1 or 1:4) did not influence color development and both B&D and M&R methods showed a fast color development. However, B&D showed greater color stability (from 5 to 600 min) and an optimum wavelength of 711 nm, while M&R was stable from 27 to 600 min an optimum wavelength of 889 nm. For M3 soil extractant, there are important issues, such as M&R being unstable and B&D presenting slow color development. In addition, the spectral profile obtained from soil extractant was different from the one obtained by the calibration curve without soil for both M&R and B&D. Therefore, the adoption of original methods on P quantification in M3 extracting solution represents a potential source of error, leading to wrong P fertilizer recommendations. Thus, the best option for P quantification in M3 extracts seems to be the use of Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES).

Visitor Profile: Shaping Experiential Quality, and Post-Consumption Behaviours in Kenyan Theme Parks
Authors: Weru Joshua Ngacha , Njoroge Joseph Muiruri , Njeri Antoneta Kariru
Published: May 2024

Visitor experiences are individual occurrences characterized by their subjective nature. As a result, each consumer has a unique perspective on the quality of experience depending on their visitor profiles. The literature implies that demographic and travel characteristics are factors that may influence the perceptions of visitors. While some studies have examined the inﬂuence of these factors on marketing variables, more information is still needed to help predict visitors' post-consumption behaviours and to understand how they interpret experiences. This study explored whether experiential quality, perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioural intentions differ according to individuals’ demographics and travel characteristics. A survey was conducted collecting data from 324 visitors in presumed leading theme parks in Kenya. A t-test for independent samples and a Kruskal–Wallis test were used for the analysis. Except for gender and first or repeat visitors, the results for all other demographic and travel characteristics showed significant differences in at least one of the variables studied

Authors: Kintu Denis
Published: May 2024

Understanding perceptions about the teaching and learning activities has implications on the way teacher training programs can be improved and influences trainers’ motivation. The aim of the study was to examine pre-service technical teachers’ perceptions of the teaching and learning activities in teacher-instructor colleges in Uganda. The following research questions guided the study; “Is the time allocated for the teaching and learning activities adequate; how is the tutoring conducted; are the pre-service teachers satisfied with the assignments given; do the pre-service teachers trust the teaching and learning process and are the pre-service teachers satisfied with the equipment and materials used for training? The study adopted across sectional survey design. Data was collected from 168 pre-service technical teachers using a researcher-constructed questionnaire. The data gathered was analysed using SPSS and presented as descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that time for teaching and learning; tutoring (organization of training), and assignments given were adequate; pre-service technical teachers trusted the teaching and learning process; however, they observed that the equipment and materials were inadequate for training. It was therefore recommended that the government increase the budget for technical teacher instructor institutions; lobbying for funds through; private partnerships, companies, international donor agencies, tax rebates, fellowships, and research grants to purchase adequate training equipment and engage policy makers to create mechanisms for responding to constant technology advancement for technical teacher instructor training institutions to cope
Imperial Russian Military Historical Society and the Formation of Historical Memory of Military Events in the Early 20th Century
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Lizogub Anna S.
Published: May 2024

This study analyses the ability and potential of the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society to influence the formation of historical memory of military events in Russian history in the early 20th century. The methodological basis is a synthesis of ideas from the interdisciplinary paradigm of memory studies, as well as comparative historical and typological historical methods. The author proceeds from the assumption that in the early 20th century, the Russian Military Historical Society was among the key actors in the formation of historical memory of significant events in military history. The extensive structure, large membership, broad local representation and various forms of commemoration allowed the society to participate in the process of selecting acts of remembrance of military events and figures as well as assigning certain meanings to them. The study identified difficulties in implementing a number of commemorative projects, such as insufficient financial support and conflicts between the central and local offices as well as between the society’s members. The author comes to the conclusion that, despite the organizational and financial problems, the Russian Military Historical Society during its short period of existence has made a significant contribution to preserving the memory of military campaigns, which is reflected in various forms of commemoration. In addition, the society has managed to earn a reputation and gain the trust of military historians. Turning to these topics not only expands our understanding of the mnemonic actors existing in the modern world, but also allows us to recreate the main directions of the policy of memory in the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. Further research into the commemorative projects of the Imperial Russian Military Historical Society, as well as its interactions with other actors, seems promising.
Discussions on the Electoral Rights of Peasant Self-Government Officials in the Zemstvo in the Late 19th Century
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Sorokin Aleksandr A.
Published: May 2024

This article examines the discussions by the zemstvo assemblies of the circular request of the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the possibility of banning volost elders and volost clerks from being elected as zemstvo deputies. Based on the materials of minute books and resolutions of the zemstvo assemblies, as well as reports of the zemstvo administrations, the main points of view on this issue are singled out. Five standpoints of the zemstvo assemblies and zemstvo administrations are considered here: to preserve the right of volost elders and volost clerks to be elected, to preserve the right of volost elders to be candidates, to ban volost elders from being candidates, to ban volost clerks from being candidates, and to ban volost elders and volost clerks from being candidates. The article provides key arguments of zemstvo representatives for preserving (voters’ trust and good knowledge of the needs of the peasant population) or abolishing (dependence on the land captains who are zemstvo deputies and difficulty of combining the work as a deputy with the official duties in the peasant administration) the right to be elected for the abovementioned officials in peasant self-government. Further, the paper presents zemstvo initiatives to introduce additional changes to the articles of the Statute on Zemstvo Institutions in order to protect the rights of peasant zemstvo deputies when executing their duties as such (restricting the discretionary power of land captains and banning land captains from being elected as zemstvo deputies). The discussion of these initiatives and their criticism are presented. Furthermore, a memorandum by the head of the Economy Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is introduced into academic discourse, demonstrating the distribution of the standpoints of the zemstvos on the right of volost elders and volost clerks to be candidates in zemstvo elections and the suggestions of the department’s leadership on how to solve this issue.
Contamination of Phraseological Units as a Means of Speech Characterization of Characters in M.A. Sholokhov’s Novel Virgin Soil Upturned
Authors:   Rostov Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Vnukovskaya Anastasia V.
Published: May 2024

This article dwells on the contamination of phraseological units in Mikhail Sholokhov’s works using his novel Virgin Soil Upturned as an example. The writer pays much attention to the choice of language units and the ways of their organization in the context. One of the most striking features of his style is the concentrated use of phraseological units within a short text fragment. Based on semantic identification and component analysis, it is concluded that the created sets of phraseological units are connected by paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations, which determine their interaction and the degree of influence on each other as well as contribute to structural and semantic contamination. The characters’ speech in the novel contains phraseological units that have been contaminated. Sholokhov’s use of contaminated units to describe characters allows us to identify such characteristics as their social status and level of education, as well as emotional state, temperament, etc. The image is being detailed, expanded and refined by shifting accents and adding semes and connotations. Sholokhov combines the features of various phraseological units, thus enhancing the aesthetic function of the text. Such categorical properties of phraseological units as integrity of meaning and constancy of structure as well as imagery and expressiveness of the original phraseological unit are reinterpreted and transformed during contamination, thereby updating the image and intensifying the aesthetic potential of language units in the context and, consequently, in the text as a whole. Contamination of phraseological units, which is a result of their concentrated use, in Sholokhov’s works is nothing other than a conscious departure from the traditional forms of text organization, aimed at achieving creative goals and implementing the author’s idea. Further research in this area may be of interest to specialists dealing with stylistics, text theory, phraseology and the study of linguistic personality.
Cognitive Phytonymic Metaphor as a Means of Describing a Person’s Appearance in Russian and Chinese Linguocultures
Authors:   School of Foreign Studies, Nanjing University, Liyun Xu ,   Nanjing Vocational Institute of Railway Technology
Published: May 2024

The article deals with the cognitive phytonymic metaphor, which forms the plant code in Russian and Chinese linguocultures. A cognitive metaphor, i.e. conceptual metaphor (G. Lakoff, M. Johnson), establishes stable correspondences between the source and the target domains, which are fixed in a linguoculture. This paper investigates the cognitive phytonymic metaphor as a way of interpreting and cognizing reality and, at the same time, as one of the most effective means of creating and representing a linguistic worldview. Considering phytonyms and the plant concepts they are naming as the source domain and the person as the target domain, the cognitive phytonymic metaphor activates a metaphorical mapping that reflects the plant code of culture as part of the coordinate system of linguocultures. The significance of analysing the cognitive mechanisms of the phytonymic metaphor lies in revealing the commonality and individuality of the national linguistic consciousness and values of the two peoples, embodied in the fragments of their linguistic worldviews. The study aimed to identify the characteristic features of the perception of the plant world by members of the Russian and Chinese national linguocultural communities. To achieve this aim, the following tasks were solved: firstly, phytonyms in the two linguocultures were studied as a means of describing a person’s external characteristics; secondly, based on phytomorphisms, a comparative analysis was performed of the cognitive mechanisms of the phytonymic metaphor in Russian and Chinese linguistic worldviews; thirdly, factors contributing to the emergence of differences between cognitive phytonymic metaphors in the two linguocultures were identified. The research concludes that, in most cases, when comparing phytonymic metaphors in the two linguocultures one will find discrepancies, including asymmetry and nonequivalence. Such factors as geographical environment, religion, history, national culture, way of thinking and hierarchy of peoples’ values can have a great influence on the formation of differences between cognitive phytonymic metaphors in the two linguocultures.
The Game/Play Aspect of Mythology: Dressing Up and the Specifics of Clothing
Authors:   Vladimir State University, Petev Nikolay I.
Published: May 2024

This article analyses and compares two related phenomena, namely, game/play and mythology in the aspect of using special clothing in corresponding activities. Special attention is paid to the practical side of mythology, i.e. its implementation within the framework of rituals and other religious practices. In this paper, dressing up (special role of costume and other attributes) is considered as a procedure characteristic of both game/play and religious action. As a result, the author comes to the following conclusions. Firstly, the game/play process seeks the demonstrative, while religious practice, to create mystery. Secondly, game/play adjusts for and relies on modernity and fashion, which is not typical of mythology. Thirdly, in cult practice, clothing presents the absolute, while in the game/play it is an attribute of the concrete. Fourthly, the aspect of the “illusory” in the game/play indicates the absence of a real presence, while in religious practice it indicates the actual presence of the Other. Fifthly, the process of recognition is different in the game/play and ritual actions: the product of the former is an image of the real, while religious practice, including when wearing special clothes, is characterized by the presentation of the real presence (existence). Sixthly, brightness, presentability and exoticism are important components of a successful game/play process, while for cult practice the opposite is true. Seventhly, special clothes in the game/play and in mythology have different sociofunctional marking.
A Clinical Evaluation and Surgical Management of Intestinal Obstruction
Authors: Rudra Prasad Reddy, Sreenivasa
Published: May 2024

Background
Treatment Acute intestinal obstruction is one of common abdominal emergency and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially if it progresses to bowel ischemia. The diagnosis and management of the patient with intestinal obstruction is one of the more challenging emergency that a general surgeon can come across. Early diagnosis of obstruction, skillful operative management, proper technique during surgery and intensive postoperative carries grateful results.
Methods
Number of cases-30. After admission to MNR Medical College And Hospital, Sangareddy investigations and operative procedures performed, were collected from the inpatients, were interpreted.
Results
Intestinal obstruction is more common in the age group of 30–60 years and in 1st decade of life. Mean age distribution was 39.4years. Incidence in male (70%) was more as compared to female population (30%). Pain abdomen-80% (24 cases) Vomiting-83% (25 cases) Distention abdomen-72% (22 cases) and Constipation-60% (18 cases) were noted as many patients had coincidence of symptoms.
Conclusion
All age groups were involved in our study from newborn to elderly patients. More commonly found in males than in females. Intestinal obstruction still remains an important surgical emergency. Intestinal obstruction with tuberculosis intestine are times more likely to develop postoperative complications, proper anti-tubercular management is necessary to prevent mortality and morbidity.
Choledochodudenostomy Revisited: The Present Scenario
Authors: Alok V Mathur, Manmeet Kaur
Published: May 2024

Background
Choledochoduodenostomy as a surgical management of common bile duct obstruction aims at free flow of bile to duodenum, being more physiological, relatively quick, simple and with fewer anastomotic sites.
Objectives
Investigate the safety and long term outcome of this procedure and to access its uses in present era of endoscopy and interventional radiology.. Material and methods- Study was conducted in the Department of Surgery at Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Health and Medical Sciences, Dehradun. Over a period of 7 years retrospectively until 2015 and prospectively from then on till december 2017. A total of 34 patients who underwent Choledochoduodenostomy(CDD) were evaluated by going through their hospital records and regular OPD follow up. Results – the results were encouraging with 33 of our patients did well in the long term follow up. Average duration of surgery was 115 minutes. Postoperatively one patient had haematemesis, later on she went to develop recurrent stricture. She later also developed long-term impairment of hepatic functions. No case of feared sump syndrome, or reflux cholangitis was observed.
Conclusions
Authors are of the view that Side to side choledochoduodenostomy, should be considered by surgeons, as a simpler, less technically demanding and physiologically better procedure. It does not carry the problems usually feared with it. The excellent long term results of this series allow us to have more frequent but indicated use of this procedure, even in the young patients.
Assessing Pressure Ulcer Knowledge of General and Orthopedic Surgical Residents Using the Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test
Authors: Sanjay Kumar Mishra, Shafaq Mahmood
Published: May 2024

Objective
To determine the knowledge of postgraduate and non-postgraduate general and orthopedic surgical residents regarding pressure ulcer (PU) prevention, staging and wound description.
Study Design
Cross sectional, descriptive survey.
Place and Duration of Study
Six major tertiary care hospitals in India, from Sep-2018 to Nov-2018.
Methodology
All consenting postgraduate and non-postgraduate general and orthopedic surgical residents were included in the study using convenience sampling. An adapted version of Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PUKT) comprising of 47-true/false items was used as a research tool. For every correct response, 1 point was awarded. Whereas, an incorrect or NK response was scored as 0. All the data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results
A total of 126 trainees comprising 120 (95.23%) males and 6 (4.76%) females participated in the study. The average PUKT score obtained by the surgical residents was 30.2+3.7 (65.65%), thus indicating a “low” level of knowledge.
Conclusion
The current levels of knowledge regarding PU prevention among the surgical residents in our study was “low”. The authors recommend continuous education for PU prevention in a hospital care setting.
A Clinical Study and Management of Hypocalcemia Following Thyroid Surgery
Authors: Pratima Raj, Abhilash V, Suma S, Krishna Prasad K
Published: May 2024

Background
Post-thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia is a serious complication. Hypocalcaemia may occur secondarily to surgical trauma, devascularisation, unintentional removal of parathyroid glands, reoperation. Surgery has been seen as a risk factor, as in total thyroidectomy there is potential blood supply involvement resulting from bilateral surgical manipulation. This study aims to prospectively study and analyse the incidence and possible causes of hypocalcaemia following thyroid surgery, and its management.
Method and Mateirals
Data was collected from the patients undergoing subtotal and near total thyroidectomies from November 2012 to October 2014 by evaluating and investigating meticulous and planned for surgery. They were follow-up on day one after surgery, at the time of discharge and 6 months after surgery for post-operative hypocalcaemia.
Observation
6 out of 50 patients (12%) developed postoperative hypocalcaemia, there was no incidence of permanent hypocalcaemia. Near total thyroidectomy was performed in 35(70%) patients, 1 from them (2.86%) developed hypocalcaemia and the other 5 out of 14 cases (35.71%) underwent total thyroidectomy. The hypocalcaemia was 9% in multinodular goitre (3 out of 33 patients), 20% in papillary carcinoma (1 out of 5 patients) and 40% in follicular neoplasm (2 out of 5 patients).
Conclusion
When preservation of parathyroid glands and their blood supply is enforced during thyroidectomy, the incidence of postoperative hypocalcaemia and permanent hypoparathyroidism can be consistently deceased.
