This community service activity is motivated by the presence of unhealthy food or snacks being sold in the school canteen and the surrounding area. Based on initial observations, this was also found in several schools located in Padang Tikar 1 Village, specifically in Kubu Raya Regency. Some examples of snacks provided at the canteen are: noodles, skewered meatballs, skewered sausages, fried snacks, and packaged snacks. PKM will be conducted on February 29, 2024. Objective: To enhance the knowledge of young children about consuming healthy food. Method: The service was carried out at AlMubtadi Kindergarten, attended by children and parents. The service team conducted a pretest before the implementation of the counseling on healthy snacks, presented through PowerPoint. Subsequently, after the PowerPoint presentation, the service team administered a posttest to be filled out by the parents. The results based on the pre-test and post-test data indicate an increase in knowledge among kindergarten children about healthy snacks. Out of 30 respondents, before the counseling was provided, 11 individuals, or 36.7%, had limited knowledge. After the counseling, this improved to 20 individuals, or 66.7%, demonstrating good knowledge. In conclusion, counseling on healthy snacks can enhance knowledge and train both children and parents in selecting snacks sold in the school environment.

Microbiological bases of obsessive‑compulsive disorder – the role of viruses, bacteria, and parasites in the onset and progression of OCD
Authors: Januszewski Jacek , Forma Alicja , Kłodnicka Karolina , Brachet Adam , Baj Jacek
Published: September 2024

Obsessive‑compulsive disorder (OCD) is a current topic of discussion nowadays. OCD presents a variety of different etiologies including environmental, viral, cognitive, or genetic aspects. In this article, we focused on the possible correlation between various infectious diseases as well as generally the relationship between viruses, bacteria, and parasites, and an increased OCD risk. In this narrative review, we analyzed different types of articles found on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, as well as the articles of the National Institute of Mental Health. Searching criteria included articles from 1991 till the end of November, research involving human and animal patients (including monkeys and rats), and research published in English. Research showed a relationship between Herpes simplex virus, Rubella virus, Human immunodeficiency virus, Borna disease virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Toxoplasma gondii, streptococcal infections, as well as gut microbiota and increased OCD risk. The possible mechanisms of this relation include neuroinflammation, brain tissue damage, autoimmune processes, and impairments in neurotransmitter levels. Infections caused by Varicella zoster virus, Measles virus, Mumps virus, Epstein‑Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus, or Borrelia Burgdorferi may also contribute to the increased risk of OCD. Reports showed an increased frequency of OCD occurrence in a group of infected people compared to a healthy group. However, there is no evidence of the influence of Influenza virus, Coxsackie virus, Poliovirus, Parvovirus B19, Enterovirus 71, West Nile virus, Treponema Pallidum, or Toxocara infections on the OCD risk. There is a significant relationship between various infectious diseases and an increased OCD risk. However, further studies are crucial to discover the exact pathomechanisms of these correlations and the potential influence of other pathogens on the onset of OCD.
The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation: Grieving, Memory, and Hope from the Survivors’ Perspective
Authors: Mendoza-Álvarez Carlos
Published: September 2024

The first part of a trilogy on the idea of tradition, The Resurrection as a Messianic Anticipation proposes a theology of new life from a postmodern and decolonial perspective. This investigation of the resurrection’s foundational event starts from the analysis of intersubjectivity in our times of extreme violence, based on the creative imagination deployed by the systemic victims. From this existential background, the author offers a creative reading of the Christian faith in the full life of the "Crucified One Awoke" dialoguing with the reason that arises from the social, cultural, and spiritual resistances that dismantle the violence produced by patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism colluded with sacrificial religion. It will be followed by two volumes on the theology of tradition thought as a symbolic resistance and as a political sacramentality of the new world born from the reverse side of hegemonic history where it is possible to listen to the murmur of God thanks to the persons and communities that live the messianic times as a living tradition in constant transformation containing an ethical, political and spiritual task for all humanity.

Published: September 2024

O presente estudo explora a interseção entre Negócios Sociais, Inovação e Propriedade Intelectual, com um foco particular na proteção dos ativos empresariais. A pesquisa foi conduzida por meio de uma metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, analisando uma variedade de fontes, incluindo artigos acadêmicos, relatórios setoriais, legislações, portarias e livros relevantes sobre o tema. Os resultados indicam uma lacuna significativa na literatura existente sobre empreendedorismo, que frequentemente subestima a importância da Propriedade Intelectual. Essa falta de ênfase dificulta a conscientização dos empreendedores quanto à necessidade de proteger suas ideias e inovações. A análise revelou que, em muitos setores-chave da economia, marcas e patentes podem ter um valor econômico que supera o do patrimônio físico tangível. Portanto, é essencial que os empreendedores reconheçam a importância desses ativos intangíveis e adotem medidas adequadas para sua proteção. Conclui-se que é necessário aprimorar a compreensão sobre Propriedade Intelectual e fomentar uma maior conscientização entre os empreendedores. Investir na proteção e gestão eficaz desses ativos pode garantir uma vantagem competitiva significativa e contribuir para a sustentabilidade e crescimento dos negócios no longo prazo.

Durante a pandemia da Covid-19, a gestão hospitalar enfrentou desafios significativos para combater o vírus e garantur uma assistência integral a saúde. As estrategias adotadas nesse período servem como base sólida para aprimorar as práticas de gestão em futuras situações emergenciais. Nesse sentido, o estudo objetivou analisar os desafios da gestão hospitalar durante a pandemia de covid-19. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, do tipo estudo de caso, em um hospital universitário, envolvendo 22 profissionais da gestão, assistência e serviços de apoio em 2022. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários sociodemográficos e entrevistas semiestruturadas, analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo temática. As categorias encontradas foram: "Desafios e decisões diante das novas urgências" e "Conflitos, negociações e cooperação". Os gestores se viram obrigados a realizar mudanças significativas, como o fechamento de setores e a criação de áreas específicas para pacientes com covid-19, num cenário de aumento da demanda e do adoecimento da equipe, o que resultou em remanejamentos por vezes conflituosos e exigindo deles, a capacidade de negociação. Apesar das dificuldades, os profissionais relataram que essas experiências fortaleceram a cooperação entre as equipes. A pesquisa revelou que a pandemia resultou em profundas transformações na gestão hospitalar, promovendo a necessidade de ações interdisciplinares e a horizontalização das relações de trabalho. Essas conclusões oferecem importantes contribuições para a prática da gestão em saúde.

O cacaueiro (Theobroma cacao L.) é uma planta perene de grande relevância econômica, especialmente para a indústria do chocolate. No entanto, sua produção enfrenta desafios significativos, como doenças e baixa produtividade. No Brasil, a cultura cacaueira, principalmente na Bahia, passou por um período de expansão seguido de declínio, em grande parte devido à doença vassoura-de-bruxa introduzida em 1989. O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar a variabilidade genética dos genótipos de cacau e suas aplicações em programas de melhoramento, além de analisar a eficácia dos Sistemas Agroflorestais (SAFs), com destaque para o modelo Cabruca, na promoção da sustentabilidade agrícola e conservação da biodiversidade. A pesquisa confirma que a variabilidade genética dos genótipos de cacau oferece um grande potencial para programas de melhoramento que visam aumentar a produtividade e a resistência a doenças. Além disso, os SAFs, particularmente o modelo Cabruca, são fundamentais para a revitalização da cultura cacaueira na Bahia, promovendo benefícios econômicos, sociais e ambientais. Esses sistemas sustentáveis não apenas melhoram a biodiversidade e a fertilidade do solo, mas também oferecem uma estratégia eficaz para enfrentar os desafios das mudanças climáticas e da posse de terra, contribuindo para a sustentabilidade da produção de cacau na região.

Published: September 2024

The implementation of object detection for autonomous vehicles is essential as it is necessary to identify common object on the street so proper response could be designed. While single stage object may be smaller in computations, two-stage object detection is preferred due to the ability to localize the object. In this paper, we propose to use Faster R-CNN with VGG-16 backbone for detections of object on the street. We evaluate the method with open image subset by selecting objects that are common on street. We explore several hyper-parameters setup such as learning rate and the number of ROI regions to find the optimum set-up. We found that the use of learning rate 10-6 with Adam optimizer to be the optimum value for this task. We also found that increasing the number of ROI may benefit the performance. This shows that there is potential for getting a higher mAP with increase the amount of RoI.

This study examines and compares three Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) steering control techniques utilizing the following three control algorithms: Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), Fractional Order PID (FOIPD), and Neural Network-PID (NN-PID). The objective of this investigation is to gain a comprehensive understanding of each controller's response in terms of step input scenarios, trajectory changes, and when encountering disturbances. The response analysis will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the controller by examining parameters such as Rise Time, Settling Time, Settling Min, Settling Max, Overshoot, Peak, and Peak Time for each controller response. To determine the accuracy performance of each controller strategy, the root mean square error (RMSE) technique will be applied, allowing users to confidently select the most suitable controller option. FOPID displays the best settling time of 3.2218 seconds, and PID stands out in rise time, achieving 0.4725 seconds. The results indicate that NN-PID is the top performer as it reduces overshoot to 0.3022%. Among the three controllers that were tested, FOPID had the smallest RMSE value, while the NN-PID control's slower response and larger error resulted in a smaller overshoot than PID and FOPID. This factor is due to the online learning process on NN-PID, which requires time. Based on the simulation results, FOPID outperforms PID in settling time and produces the smallest error due to the inclusion of parameters λ and μ, leading to improved control performance.

Published: September 2024

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-destructive tool for exploring an object buried underground. Currently, GPR is also considered for reinforced concrete inspection. However, the image produced by GPR can not be easily interpreted. Besides, the large observation of building concrete inspection also motivates the researchers to fastening and easing radar image interpretation. Thus,  this research proposes a new method to translate GPR scattering data image to its internal structure visualization. The proposed employs a convolutional autoencoder model using amplitude and phase radar data as input of the algorithm. As evaluation, in this stage, we perform numerical analysis by using finite-difference time-domain-based synthetic data that considers three cases: concrete with rebar, concrete with crack, and concrete with rebar and crack. All of those cases are simulated with randomized dimensions and positions that is possible in the real applications. Compared with the baseline method, our method shows superiority, especially in the semantic segmentation perspective. The parameter size of the proposed model is also much smaller, around one-third of the previous method. Therefore, the method is feasible enough to be implemented in real applications addressing an automatic internal structure reinforced concrete visulaization

The Karaha-Talagabodas field is located on the east side of the ancient Bandung-Garut caldera and adjacent to the Galunggung volcano in West Java, Indonesia. Karaha-Talagabodas are two distinct locations separated by approximately 10 km. Geochemical analysis including major, trace and rare earth elements has been done using Fusion ICP-MS to find out how the different composition of volcanic rocks in the two regions (Karaha and Talagabodas). The volcanic rocks of the Karaha-Talagabodas field were composed of pyroxene andesite, andesite basaltic, basalt, highly altered pyroclastic and tuff breccia. The identified alteration minerals are indicated by the presence of kaolinite, halloysite, silica, sericite and chlorite. Geochemically, these volcanic rocks contain SiO2 variable (49.94%-62.27%), Na2O (3.02%-3.83%) and K2O (0.46%-1.78%). Based on the major element diagram of rock chemistry (Na2O+K2O vs SiO2). It shows rocks consisting of calc-alkaline for andesite from Karaha basalt, basaltic andesite and andesite formed in tholeiitic environments on Talagabodas volcanic rocks. Trace element data for host volcanic rocks are provided by this study to identify the magmatic arc system and distribution of subduction components. The normalized REE diagram of N-Morb shows the similarity of the pattern of all Talagabodas volcanic rocks, only Karaha andesite rocks show slight REE enrichment and europium depletion.

Memoirs of Perseverance: Episodic Memory in Elie Wiesel's Night
Authors: Mahisha Babu J  , B. Anita Virgin
Published: September 2024

Episodic memory is the neurocognitive system that allows humans to recall past experiences. The individual memories of these experiences are referred to as short-term objectives, which describe a unique relationship with time. The concept of episodic memory is not a reference to specific tasks but a hypothetical system operating beyond preserved information and mental experiences. It does not consist of individual bits of information but involves multiple components of a single event bound together. Elie Wiesel's Night recounts the personal experience of the author in a concentration camp during the period of the Holocaust.  The paper attempts to analyze how Tulving's episodic memory theory has been used in the characters of Elie Wiesel's Night. Furthermore, it will explore how Wiesel used the tool of episodic memory objectives in his novel to show the true faces of society and further investigate how the novel portrays personal experiences and contextual details about autonoetic consciousness, mental time travel, subjective nature, temporal order, and neurological basis.

Barack Obama: Negotiating Blackness, Race, and Colour in a White America
Authors: Paul Kingston C  , Indra J E
Published: September 2024

The research paper analyses Barack Obama’s relationship with race, blackness, and hybridity masked within his writings and speeches.  The paper delves through Obama's perception of racism, blackness, his received identity and perceived identity, his efforts to position himself within the lineage of black leaders, and his message to the African American society to hope for change. Buried underneath the eloquent verbosity is the message of hope to alleviate people from poverty that racism has brought upon black souls. Racism has tormented the lives of many black souls through its various ugly manifestations and rendered many homeless and unemployed.  Obama being an outsider unknown to many within political circles in Washington DC was able to make a dent in the imaginations of people around the world. His election as the president of the United States signaled to the world that the American dream is still possible. This paper analyzes Obama's non-conformity with a typical black man lacking agency and his efforts to break the stereotypes that define a black man. This paper examines how a black man whose lived experience is denied tried to assert himself and change the course of history by making himself known to the world through his engrossing memoirs and political speeches.
Advocacy for Environmental Justice and Indigenous Rights in Jacinta Kerketta’s Poetry
Authors: Sashi Bhushan  , Shaleen Kumar Singh
Published: September 2024

Jacinta Kerketta was originally a Hindi poet from the Oraon community residing in the heart of Jharkhand. As an activist and courageous journalist, she chronicles the plight of the dispossessed Adivasi people. With honest portrayals of stark truths, Jacinta has earned recognition in literary circles for her unique style of depicting the hardships faced by the Adivasi community. She fiercely advocates for the existential fears and marginalization faced by Indigenous peoples experiencing oppression, deprivation, injustice, othering, and unimaginable misery due to unsustainable development, ruthless industrialization, uncontrolled urbanization, and unprecedented environmental degradation threatening their lands and livelihoods. Her poetry expresses their ongoing struggles and trauma alongside the chaos within Saranda Forest. In collections such as ‘Angor’, ‘Jadon Ki Jameen (Land of the Roots)’ and ‘Ishwar aur Bazaar’, she vigorously speaks out against the looting and destruction of the natural resources and means of sustenance relied upon by the Adivasi community. This research aims to highlight how Jacinta seeks environmental justice for Adivasi people through her verse. It also advocates for protecting their inherent rights regarding jal-jangal-jameen. Furthermore, it explores how her poetry exposes the constant exploitation of the ecologically sensitive Saranda Forest and the authorities’ indifference to addressing these important issues.
Beyond The Waste Land: A Critique of Maja Herman Sekulice’s “Out of the Wasteland” and Poetry of Dr. J. S. Anand
Authors: Tamali Neogi
Published: September 2024

The paper examines the strategies of interaction with—and moving beyond—the text in two contemporary poets: Maja Herman Sekulic and Dr. J.S. Anand, looking at their invoking Eliot's The Waste Land as a way that turns both works on medium level reminders or allusions by adapting them to (their) respective othernesses. The research aims to answer the following questions: In what ways do these two poets make use of The Waste Land in their poetry, and for which reasons are such allusions employed within contemporary praxis? The texts that will be analysed are Sekulic's "Out of the Wasteland" and Anand’s The Dominion of the Netherworld, with a mention to “Ground Zero.” This essay argues that Sekulic's "Out of the Wasteland" functions both as an homage and a parody to The Waste Land, suggesting how contemporary life has formed into decay Eliot never could have envisioned. The first stanza disparages the mimesis of The Waste Land yet questions anyone remembering modernist poetry to be able to capture a fractured and disenchanted contemporary existence. Using suggestive imagery and an even heavier reliance on Eliot, Sekulic makes the point that there is no need to represent modern life (a lesson its critics appear yet unwilling or unable to comprehend), with her tone subtler than ever in leaving readers be subjected only by sorts of ridiculousness. On the other hand, Anand's work is also examined in relation to how he confronts The Waste Land with what epitomizes all that is awful about existence today. Both poets are shown to use Eliot's text as a base from which they not only critique and reflect upon the escalating disaster of contemporary existence but also remake The Waste Land in terms relevant to current global anxieties.
Exploring Connotative Meaning of Laxmi's Dialogues in Vijay Tendulkar's Sakharam Binder
Authors: Ram Patil
Published: September 2024

Pragmatics highlights the implied meaning of a dialogue in the light of its context. The same theory of meaning in context has been used in the study of this research paper. The basis of the study is H. P. Grice’s cooperative principle and its maxims. The main focus of the study is to see the implied meaning of an utterance whenever the maxims of cooperative principle are flouted. The play is a representation of gender bias in the contemporary patriarchal society vividly penned by Vijay Tendulkar. The basis of the study is to fathom the meaning beyond the dialogues of the protagonist Laxmi in the play ‘Sakharam Binder’ by Vijay Tendulkar. Though the literal meaning of the dialogues is self-sufficient to portray the characters and its suffering, the implied meaning or the unspoken emotions of the character Laxmi has more to reveal. Hence, the dialogues of Laxmi are read and studied in light of her trauma of getting abandoned by her husband, getting exploited physically and emotionally by a womanizer Sakharam, her helplessness, her agony after getting the allegation of theft from her nephew etc. The findings of the study reveal that Laxmi has lost all hopes initially. She is jolted by the kind of treatment she receives from the male dominated society. It's the fear of getting thrown out of the house of Sakharam, which compels Laxmi to tolerate the atrocities and not to be vocal about it. Superficially, it appears to be normal for her. But the connotative meaning makes the readers realize the loss, disturbance, anger, dejection, hopelessness, suffocation, frustration of Laxmi. Thus, the study of unspoken meaning becomes pivotal compared to the denotative meaning of Laxmi's dialogues. She represents the females that undergo such tragedy because she is She and not He.

The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a significant pest affecting pulse crops in north India, particularly soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The study was carried out during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab to investigate whitefly populations across 8 soybean genotypes. The study revealed that genotypes SL 1074 and SL 1028 had the lowest whitefly infestations, while DS 3105 exhibited high susceptibility. Whitefly populations, peaking at different stages, were positively correlated with temperature and relative humidity and negatively with rainfall. Significant variations in whitefly population densities were observed across different genotypes and canopy levels, with higher populations in the upper and middle canopies. The avoidable yield losses were estimated in three cultivars recommended for cultivation by the Punjab Agricultural University, with losses ranging from 18.12–27.28%. The insecticide thiamethoxam was effective initially, but whitefly populations increased three weeks after the spraying. Unprotected plots exhibited higher whitefly populations and greater yield losses. Negative correlations were found between whitefly populations and yield parameters, particularly with 100-seed weight. This study underscores the importance of cultivating resistant soybean varieties like SL 1074 and SL 1028 to manage B. tabaci and minimize yield losses.

Drought stress and water crisis is a great limiting factor for the production of horticultural crops. The present study was carried out during 2021 and 2022 at Horticultural Science Research Institute, Kamalshahr, Karaj, Iran to identify the effect of drought stress in physiological and photosynthetic characteristics of Prunus spp. rootstocks and varieties of 4-year old Prunus spp. The factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design (CRBD) having 3 factors and 3 replications. Factors included 8 rootstocks, viz. Myrobalan 29C, Penta, Tetra, St. Julien, Mariana 2624, GF 677, GN 15 and Seedling as the first factor; 4 cultivars, viz. Greengage, Simka, NO 16 and Zochelo as the second factor; and drought stress conditions in two levels namely with interruption of irrigation for 14 days and without interruption of irrigation as the third factor. Drought stress decreased relative water content of leaves, stomatal conductance, transpiration, CO2 content in substomatal chamber, and water use efficiency. Zuchelo and Greengage varieties and GN 15 rootstock had the highest and Simka variety and Mariana 2624 and Myrobalan 29C rootstocks had the lowest stomatal exchanges and photosynthesis, respectively. Among the rootstocks; GN 15, GF 677 and Mariana 2624 showed better physiological stability under stress, and the most tolerant variety against drought stress was NO 16. Totally, grafting combination of cv. NO 16 and rootstock GN 15 has been identified as the most tolerant to drought stress.

An exotic vine cactus, dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) commonly known as ‘pitaya’ is a weather resilient crop, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. The chances of crop improvement through conventional breeding is a limitation in dragon fruit, hence induced mutation can be exploited for creating genetic variability. The present study was carried out during 2019 to 2022 at Central Horticulture Experimental Station (ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru, Karnataka), Hirehalli, Karnataka to induce the variability in two dragon fruit cultivars, viz. Hirehalli Red and Hirehalli White. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) comprises of 15 treatments with different dosage of EMS (Ethyl Methane Sulphonate) (0.2%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.25%, 2.50%, 2.75% and 3.00%) and sodium azide (0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05% and 0.06%) and untreated seeds were sown as control with 3 replications of each. The outcome of the variance analysis showed highly significant difference (P<0.05) for the evaluated traits. The lethal doses (LD50) for EMS in Red was 2.685% and in White was 2.791%. Mutagenesis with sodium azide showed the lethal doses (LD50) of 0.052 and 0.053% in Red and White cultivars, respectively. The GR50 value in the cv. Red was 0.68, 0.86, 0.48% and in White was 0.98, 1.08 and 0.89% for seedling height, shoot and root length, respectively. The determined LD50 and GR doses obtained from this research can be exploited in mutation breeding programme of dragon fruit to develop a cultivar with novel traits.
Efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy for the treatment of uterine fibroids: an updated literature review
Authors: Augusto Rodrigo Vásconez Rivadeneira , Palacios Gonzalez Nicolas Xavier , Zarabanda Gómez María Alejandra
Published: September 2024

During reproductive years, uterine fibroids are often benign tumors that may have a serious impact on a woman's health. In place of conventional laparoscopic (LM) and abdominal myomectomy (AM) techniques for the treatment of these fibroids, robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) is showing promise. This narrative evaluation assesses RALM's safety and effectiveness in comparison to LM and AM. A thorough literature search was carried out with an emphasis on research published between 2018 and 2024 in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Hospital stay, surgical complications, operational time, and intraoperative blood loss are among the key outcomes evaluated. In major findings, the review shows that robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) performs better than conventional laparoscopic (LM) and abdominal myomectomy (AM) procedures. Comparing RALM to LM and AM, fewer blood transfusions, shorter hospital stays, and less intraoperative blood loss are all related with this approach. Longer operating periods are associated with RALM, but the procedure has a reduced rate of postoperative problems and fewer conversions to open surgery. The lengthier treatment time and increased expenses associated with RALM are still noteworthy factors, despite the advantages it offers in terms of safety and recovery. Therefore, RALM is a safe and efficient surgical alternative for treating uterine fibroids that has a significant positive impact on patient outcomes. To increase accessibility and use of robotic technology, future research should concentrate on cost-effectiveness, long-term efficacy, and technological breakthroughs.
