Authors: Chairunisa Nurul , Nurchasanah Yuni , Widiawati Ida
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Pregnancy is a woman's highly anticipated life cycle. After pregnancy, the woman will enter the process of childbirth, postpartum, and intermediate period. This cycles can cause physical and psychological changes that can cause discomfort for women who cannot adapt.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide comprehensive care starting from pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and infants.
Method: This Final Project report used a case study method with data collection carried out from March to May 2022 in PMB E, Cibeber District, Cianjur Regency.
Result:  Mrs. E did an USG before giving birth and the result showed that her amniotic water had begun to decrease so she was referred to the hospital for induction. Induction of labor using 5 IU oxytocin drip infused into 500 ml RL at a speed of 20tpm. The delivery process was done in a spontaneous way without complications. At the time of postpartum Mrs. E's legs were swollen and Mrs. E had given formula to her baby in the first week of postnatal. The author carried out care of the problems experienced by the mother, such as counseling for mobilization and the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. This treatment was successful in overcoming the mother's problems and preventing complications.
Conclusion: Comprehensive midwifery care has proven to be beneficial and important to do. Midwives as service providers need to implement and improve this method in the care they do.
OXYTOCIN RELEASED FROM BACK MASSAGE EXTENDS CONTRACTIONS IN THE FIRST STAGE OF LABOR: EVIDENCE-BASED CASE REPORT (EBCR)
Authors: _ Salsabila , Ferina Ferina , Resmana Rika
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Maternal health is a key indicator of community welfare as measured by the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). One of the problems with maternal mortality is caused by prolonged labor. Non-pharmacological action in the form of back massage is an important consideration in health services that can be utilized more optimally. This evidence-based case report aims to find out the effectiveness of back massage to increase contractions in the active phase of the first stage of labor.
Method: Article search using Pubmed and Google Scholar databases. Found 2 articles chosen one according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and has been screened previously, then reviewed critically.
Result:  Based on studies by Kursih Sulastriningsih, et al and Adinda Putri Sari Dewi, et al, it was found that back massage is effective in increased contractions in the first stage of labor in the active phase.
Conclusion: Back massage will speed up the work of the parasympathetic nerves in stimulating the posterior pituitary to release oxytocin which can have a relaxing effect. The relaxation experienced by the mother stimulates the brain to reduce levels of the hormone adrenaline and increase the production of oxytocin, which is a factor in producing adequate uterine contractions. Having adequate contractions can cause the cervix to flatten and open. Back massage has been suggested as an effective, inexpensive, non-pharmacological way to induce labor and increase contractions to speed up the progress of labor.

Published: October 2024

A fibrose cística (FC) é uma doença genética caracterizada por uma mutação no gene CFTR, que resulta na disfunção dos canais de cloreto e bicarbonato nas células epiteliais de diversos sistemas, principalmente respiratório, digestivo e reprodutivo. Essa alteração compromete a regulação adequada da hidratação e do equilíbrio iônico, levando à produção de secreções espessas e viscosas que afetam o funcionamento dos órgãos envolvidos. A fisiopatologia da doença está relacionada, sobretudo, com a formação de muco espesso nas vias respiratórias, o que favorece infecções pulmonares recorrentes, inflamação crônica e declínio progressivo da função pulmonar. As manifestações clínicas da FC são variadas e afetam múltiplos sistemas. Entre os sintomas respiratórios, destacam-se a tosse crônica, dificuldade para respirar e infecções pulmonares frequentes. No trato gastrointestinal, a doença pode causar insuficiência pancreática, levando à má absorção de nutrientes, diarreia e desnutrição. Em alguns casos, a FC também está associada à infertilidade masculina e ao desenvolvimento de diabetes. Essas manifestações, no entanto, podem variar em gravidade de acordo com o tipo de mutação genética e a resposta individual ao tratamento. O diagnóstico precoce da FC é crucial para melhorar o prognóstico dos pacientes. A triagem neonatal, por meio do teste do pezinho, é fundamental para identificar a doença nos primeiros dias de vida, possibilitando intervenções imediatas. Outros exames diagnósticos incluem a dosagem de cloro no suor e testes genéticos específicos. O tratamento envolve uma abordagem multidisciplinar, com uso de medicamentos que melhoram a função do gene CFTR, fisioterapia respiratória, antibióticos para combater infecções e suporte nutricional. O prognóstico dos pacientes tem melhorado significativamente nas últimas décadas, com aumento da expectativa de vida e qualidade de vida, principalmente devido aos avanços terapêuticos e ao diagnóstico precoce.

Published: October 2024

Waste pile-up along railway routes poses an important threat to the regional ecological environment. However, there is a lack of methods that assess the ecological suitability of waste pile-up (ESWP) at a macro scale, which is crucial for informed decision-making. We define the ESWP and propose a methodology to measure the level of ESWP along railway routes. Specifically, we focus on the Ya’an to Nyingchi section of the railway, selecting a 30-km buffer zone on either side as the study area. To develop ESWP maps, we employed Landsat 8, digital elevation model (DEM), soil database, land use, and meteorological data. We tested 3 machine learning methods—random forest (RF), deep neural network (DNN), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)—using 7 key indicators as input parameters. The performance of these models was evaluated using overall accuracy and the Kappa index. Additionally, we analyzed the relative importance of each indicator on the results. The study reached the following results: Firstly, the combination of selected indicators with machine learning methods effectively assesses the ESWP along railways. Secondly, among the tested methods, DNN demonstrated superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 86.49%, outperforming RF (80.31%) and XGBoost (79.54%). Thirdly, the indicators with the greatest impact on the assessment were biological richness (weight is 0.23), vegetation coverage (weight is 0.20), and soil nutrients (weight is 0.16). These findings provide a novel approach to assessing the ecological suitability and identifying low-risk sites for waste pile-up along railway routes.
Future Climate Change Will Reduce the Potential Distributions of Biocrusts: A Case Study on the Loess Plateau of China

Published: October 2024

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts), as an important component of dryland ecosystems, play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem stability and sustainability. However, how their distribution will respond to future climate change is still not fully discussed. We took the Loess Plateau (LP) region of China as the research area and used the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to simulate the potential distributions (PDs) of biocrusts from 1970 to 2100. This was achieved by coupling bioclimatic variables, soil factors, and terrain factor data under 3 shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP126, SSP245, and SSP585). The PDs of 3 types of biocrusts (cyanobacteria, mosses, and lichens) were simulated and analyzed. The results showed that (a) the minimum temperature in the coldest month, rainfall in the wettest month, and rainfall in the warmest season are the most important bioclimatic variables affecting the PDs of cyanobacteria, mosses, and lichens, respectively. Among the soil factors, soil nitrogen content had the greatest influence on the PD of biocrusts. (b) The PDs of cyanobacteria, mosses, and lichens will be minimized by 2100 under the SSP585 scenario, with suitable distribution areas decreasing by 68.7%, 75.8%, and 36.5%, respectively, compared to those in historical periods. (c) The PDs of biocrusts on the LP will shift to higher-altitude regions with low temperatures and less precipitation in future climate change. This study can help us understand the response mechanism of biocrusts to future climate change and provide a basis for the restoration of biocrusts in other vulnerable ecological regions worldwide.
Intelligent Transmissive Microwave Metasurface with Optical Sensing and Transparency
Authors: Sun Ya Lun , Zhang Xin Ge , Huang Zhixiang , Tian Han Wei , Cui Tie Jun , Jiang Wei Xiang
Published: October 2024

Transmissive metasurfaces are essentially conducive to stealth, absorbers, and communications. However, most of the current schemes only allow microwave to transmit and generally adopt multilayer structures or thick dielectric substrates to improve the electromagnetic performance, restricting optical transmission and conformal application. In addition, most metasurfaces still require metal wires and external power suppliers for programmability. Here, we propose and design an intelligent transmissive microwave metasurface with optical sensing and transparency, which provides both microwave and optical channels without redundant optical devices and power suppliers, and the 2 transmission channels are associated with each other. The metasurface is realized by validly integrating photosensitive materials into microwave meta-structures. As a demonstration, we fabricate an ultrathin optically transparent transmissive metasurface based on polyethylene terephthalate substrate and photoresistors, whose thickness is only 0.125 mm. We further construct cross-wavelength transmission links based on the metasurface sample and experimentally validate that the microwave transmissions vary with light intensities under full-polarization and large-angle incidences, and this metasurface possesses high optical transparency. The intelligent transmissive microwave metasurface with optical sensing and transparency has potential applications in optical–microwave hybrid transmission devices and stealth technology.

Introduction: Providing supportive care to cancer patients can improve their quality of life (QOL). The present study aimed to determine the met and unmet supportive care needs of young women with breast cancer and their relation with their QOL. Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, 275 women under 50 years old with breast cancer under chemotherapy who were selected by a convenience sampling method in 2020-2021 at Tabriz, Iran, participated. Data were collected by questionnaires and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics by SPSS software version 13. Results: The mean (SD) score of supportive care needs was 87.25(23.27). The most common unmet needs among patients were psychological needs. The mean (SD) scores of QOL in the functional and symptom domains were 36.21(4.23) and 41.91(6.57), respectively. Total supportive care needs had a significant and negative relationship with the functional areas of QOL in both the EORTC QLQ-C30.V.3 (r=0.15, P=0.007) and EORTC QLQ-BR23 (r=-0.46, P<0.001) and a significant positive relationship with the symptom domain in both the EORTC QLQ-C30.V.3 (r=0.32, P<0.001) and EORTC QLQ-BR23 (r=0.11, P=0.03). Conclusion: Patients with breast cancer require a variety of supportive care during treatment. Supportive care programs, particularly during chemotherapy or hormone therapy, are essential for reducing patients’ unmet needs and improving their QOL.

Атрезия наружного слухового прохода (АНСП) – врожденный комбинированный порок, включающий в себя аномалии развития наружного слухового прохода, среднего уха и нарушение формирования ушной раковины – микротию или анотию. АНСП встречается с частотой 1 на 10 000–15 000 новорожденных. Для лечения данной патологии применяются реконструктивно-пластические оперативные вмешательства. С целью предварительной оценки результатов хирургического лечения используются прогностические шкалы R.A. Jahrsdoerfer и Диаба Х.М. При отсутствии показаний для оперативного лечения по результатам подсчитанных баллов возможна коррекция эстетического дефекта ушной раковины и слуховая реабилитация посредством костной имплантации. В данной статье представлен редкий клинический случай двусторонней АНСП, для лечения которой использовались: эндопротез из пористого полиэтилена с целью формирования ушной раковины с двух сторон, устранение атрезии НСП и реконструкция звукопроводящей системы с помощью аутохряща справа и восстановление слуха при помощи имплантата костной проводимости слева.

Atresia of the external auditory canal (AEAC) – congenital combined defect, including abnormalities of the external auditory canal and middle ear development and violation of auricle the formation – microtia or anotia. AEAC occurs with a frequency of 1 per 10,000– 15,000 newborns. Reconstructive plastic surgery is used to treat this pathology. In order to pre-evaluate the results of surgical treatment the prognostic scales R.A. Jahrsdoerfer and Diab H.M. are used. Correction of the aesthetic defect of the auricle and auditory rehabilitation through bone implantation is possible when the indications for surgical treatment based on the results of the calculated points are absent. This article presents a rare clinical case of bilateral AEAC, for the treatment of which were used: an endoprosthesis made of porous polyethylene in order to form the auricle on both sides, eliminate atresia of the EAC and reconstruct the sound-conducting system with the help of autochondria on the right and restore hearing with the help of a bone conduction implant on the left.
Clinical study of cervical caries treatment the effectiveness by assessing composite restorations condition
Authors: Zabolotna I.I. , Bogdanova T.L.
Published: October 2024

Background. Cervical caries is a fairly common teeth pathology and its treatment is carried out in complicated clinical conditions. Therefore, increasing the term of functioning of composite restorations is an urgent task.

Aim. Identification of the effectiveness of a differential approach to dissection of hard dental tissues depending on the depth of enamel microcracks and implementation of professional hygiene in the treatment of cervical caries in the short- and long-term periods.

Materials & Methods. The study involved 50 people (average age [23.28±5.52] years) in whom cervical caries was treated in 72 teeth. All patients were divided into three equal groups based on the number of restorations according to the selected dissection technique and the chara­cteristics of professional hygiene. The dissection technique depended on the depth of the enamel microcracks in Main Group I (MG I), the dissection was carried out within the limits of clinically intact hard dental tissues in Control Group (CG) and Main Group II (MG II). The dental biofilm was removed from the vestibular surface of the teeth by the method of air-abrasive cleaning using the erythritol-based powder in MG I and MG II, the vestibular surface of the tooth was cleaned of dental deposits with a polishing paste without fluoride in CG. The quality of restorations was assessed based on the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria on the day of restoration, 6 and 12 months later. The effectiveness of the prescribed treatment was identified by the dynamic indicators of the dental pulp electroexcitability and the electrical conductivity of the enamel.

Results. There were no partial or completely destroyed restorations in all terms of the observation period. Composite restorations were preserved according to the criteria of "anatomical shape" and "color matching". One year later restoration defects were absent in 61 teeth (84.72%): in MG I – in 22 (91.67%), in CG – in 19 (79.17%), in MG II – in 20 (83.33%). Recurrent caries and symptoms of hypersensitivity were not identified in MG I. A slightly greater effectiveness of the treatment was noted in MG II group in comparison with CG (by 4.16%) that confirms the importance of removing the dental biofilm before restoration by the method of air-abrasive clea­ning using erythritol.

Conclusions. The analysis of the state of restorations in the long-term period showed that the dissection technique and the features of professional hygiene affected their quality before restoration. The number of high-quality composite restorations was by 10.42% more on average in MG I than in the other groups. The obtained results make it possible to recommend the proposed method for using in practical dentistry.

Published: October 2024

An experiment was conducted at the Demonstration Farm of New Halfa Research Station, during season 2017/2018 with the objectives of determining the crop water requirements for Guar (Cyamopsistetragonoloba) and investigating the effect of irrigation quantity on crop water productivity (kg/m3) under furrow irrigation system. The treatments included four irrigation quantities namely; T1500mm3, T2400m3, T3300m3 and T4200m3. These treatments were arranged in randomized completely block design (RCBD) with four replicates. The parameters tested were irrigation efficiency (IE%), crop water requirements for guar (mm/day), growth parameters (plant height, stem diameter and no of branches), crop productivity (kg/ha) and water use efficiency (kg/m3). The results showed that, irrigation efficiency of furrow system was very low (45%). Crop water requirements for guar were differ among the growing season which was recorded the lowest values in March (3.73mm/day) and the highest in April (8.61mm/day). Growth parameters significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by the different irrigation quantities. 500m3 of applied water significantly increased the plant height (32cm), stem diameter (5.3cm) and no of branches (14) as compared to 200m3 which ranked the least (28.11cm, 4.83cm and 13, respectively. Crop productivity and water use efficiency significantly affected by the different irrigation quantities. Irrigation quantity of 500m3 gave the highest value of crop productivity (2288kg/ha) while 200m3 recorded the highest mean values of water use efficiency (9.22 kg/ m³). It concluded to maximize crop productivity and water use efficiency, the management of irrigation systems via; when to irrigate and how much irrigation water to be applied with regard to crop water requirement should be followed and adopted.

Published: October 2024

Study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental lysolecithin at different levels on the growth performance of broiler chicks. One hundred and eighty (180) day-old broiler chicks were used for the study. The birds were randomly allotted to five treatment groups of 36 birds each, and assigned to five treatments using a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments were as follows: Treatment 1,0g lysolecithin; Treatment 2, 100g lysolecithin/100kg of feed; Treatment 3, 200g lysolecithin/100kg of feed; Treatment 4, 300g lysolecithin/100kg of feed and Treatment 5, 400g lysolecithin/100kg of feed. Each treatment was replicated 3 times with 12 birds per replicate. Feed and water were provided to the birds ad libitum. Results showed that there were significant differences (p < 0.05) among the dietary treatments in final body weight, total weight gain and average daily weight gain, average daily feed intake, Feed Conversion Ratio FCR, Protein Efficiency Ratio PER and feed cost per kg gain values of the broiler chicks. Birds fed diets containing lysolecithin had significantly (p < 0.05) higher final body weight, total weight gain and daily weight gain values than those fed the control diet (diet containing 0% lysolecithin). Birds in treatment 2 (diet containing 100g of lysolecithin /100kg of diet) had the highest average daily feed intake value. Birds fed diets containing lysolecithin had similar FCR values and these were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than the FCR value of birds fed the control diet. Birds fed diets containing lysolecithin had similar PER values and these were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the PER value of birds fed the control diet. Birds fed diets containing lysolecithin had similar feed cost per kg gain values and these were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than the feed cost per kg gain value of birds fed the control diet. It was concluded that the inclusion of lysolecithin as a feed additive in the diet of starter broiler birds improved feed efficiency, growth performance and reduced feed cost per kg weight gain of birds.
PARTICIPATORY MAPPING AND DELIMITATION OF FLOOD ZONES IN DOUALA, CAMEROON
Authors: Tsolocto Abel , Stanislas Betto , Gratien Tchiadeu
Published: October 2024

The spatialization of geographical phenomena is now based on geomatics methods and tools. This trend, which has become widespread in research circles, invites us, beyond the rendering of results, to question their relevance. Indeed, the results thus obtained are far from being realistic for reasons related to the quality of the analysis data but especially to the choice of the levels of observation. These weaknesses impose on African geographers in general and Cameroonians in particular, a paradigm shift. Instead of the work of a researcher/engineer-expert imposing a vertical vision of the territory, an approach that reverses the process could make it possible to reposition local populations in the production and spatialization of geographic information. No one better than the latter could understand and assess the constraints and vulnerabilities they face. Participatory mapping as a methodological journey integrates spoken language into a map, with the aim of giving substance to the voices of those who are poorly represented or not very visible, thereby facilitating dialogue and negotiations. Faced with what could be considered as drifts of the all-digital, is it relevant to entrust the pencil to the actors who practice the territories subjected to the phenomena subject to geographical representation? This study focuses on the development of a methodological framework for participatory mapping, based on the example of the risk of flooding in a watershed of the city of Douala. The envisaged approach is made possible thanks to semi-structured interviews based on the model of cartographic discussion groups. It emerges from this experience that the methodological approach of participatory mapping is feasible, reliable, less restrictive and moreover reproductive in several territories.

Authors: Nopiyanto  , Fatah Luthfi , Azis Joseph
Published: October 2024

South Kalimantan Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia that makes the agricultural sector a vital sector in its economy. According to BPS (2023), 48.86 percent of poor households in Indonesia have the main source of income in the agricultural sector. For this reason, it is necessary to measure poverty in agricultural households to provide input in overcoming poverty problems in the agricultural sector. By utilizing data from the March 2023 Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) and two analysis methods, namely descriptive and binary logistic regression, this study aims to obtain an overview of the characteristics of agricultural households and identify what socio-demographic factors affect the poverty status of agricultural households. Based on the results of Susenas data processing in March 2023, 40.96 percent of agricultural households in South Kalimantan Province were obtained. The agricultural households are dominated by the plantation subsector which reaches 46.26%, followed by rice and palawija agriculture (32.50%), fisheries (10.59%), horticulture (4.94%), livestock (3.47%) and forestry and other agriculture (2.24%). The results of this study also show that agricultural households are dominated by those who live in rural areas, the head of the household is male, the average age of the head of the family is 45 years to 55 years, the last education below junior high school, the number of household members is 3 to 4 people, owns land and the head of the household has an agricultural business. Using the Poverty Line (GK) cut off point of each district/city, of the 3,400 agricultural households, 1.59% were poor, while 98.41% were not poor. The results of the binary logistic regression analysis show that the variables that have a significant effect on the poverty status of agricultural households in South Kalimantan Province in 2023 are the classification of regions, the gender of the head of the household, the age of the head of the household and the number of household members.

The potential for expanding pig farming, particularly with native pigs, in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province is significant due to the predominant non-Muslim population in NTT who utilise pigs in traditional and religious ceremonies. However, the high number of pigs in Kupang Regency and conventional farming practices can elevate the likelihood of infections like Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, known as PRRS. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV), is a significant disease in the pig farming sector. The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus is highly contagious within pig herds. It can spread through direct contact or contaminated aerosols. Vaccines have been used to limit the disease’s transmission, despite often being considered ineffective.  This study analyses the variations in blood haematological parameters before and after PRRS immunisation, including RBC, HGB, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and WBC. Fifteen pigs were included in the sample. Sampling was conducted two times from the same pigs: before PRRS vaccination and one month post-immunization. SPSS was used for the data analysis. A statistical study using SPSS showed no significant difference in blood hematology following the PRRS vaccination.

The leaves of Brucea javanica [L] Merr have long been utilized as an alternative medicine for a variety of illness. Although a number of investigations have been conducted to ascertain the advantages and composition of secondary metabolites in this plant's leaves, nothing has ever been published on the particular study conducted on the island of Timor. The purpose of this study was to ascertain which secondary metabolites were present in the leaves of this plant that was grown in two distinct locations on Timor Island. The findings of this study will be used as an empirical basis for future investigations into the use of herbal remedies. The study's findings demonstrated that while flavonoids and alkaloids weren't present from the plant's ethanol extract, it did contain highly concentrated terpenoids and tannins at both locations. In contrast, saponin content was only discovered in leaves collected from the neighbourhood of Fatumnutu. The spectrophotometer test revealed that the ethanol extract of Bruce planta javanica [L] Merr from Noelbaki Village had a greater secondary metabolite absorption value compared to plant extract from Fatumnutu Village. The absorption values for tannin and alkaloid showed the largest overall variation in absorption levels, varying by around 0.513% and 0.68% for each constituent. In the meantime, there is a 0.513% variation in tannin compounds between the two sites. In order to ascertain the bioactivity of this plant's leaf extract for the creation of herbal medicines in Indonesia, more investigation is required into the variations in saponin levels and absorbency levels of secondary metabolite compounds from the two locations.

The article discusses the issues of monitoring the forecasting of soil fertility and substantiates the methods applied to the agrolandscape of the Kuban River Delta on the example of assessing the initial state of arable land fertility. An analysis of the properties of deltaic geosystems was carried out: openness, integrity, functioning, dynamics, evolution and structure of the geosystem. When considering the geosystems of the Delta, environmental factors are indicated. On the example of the delta of the Kuban River, the dependence of the surface radiation balance on the features of the relief is considered. The need for a comprehensive assessment of the agro-resource potential is justified in connection with the development of degradation processes in the soil. The criteria for long-term forecasting as a single integrated approach to the methodology for assessing the resource potential of agriculture are substantiated. To assess fertility, an integral indicator of soil fertility was used. Specific natural-technogenic complexes of individual parts of deltaic geosystems in relation to the Kuban River have been identified. The impact of human anthropogenic activity has led to a noticeable decrease in soil fertility, a reduction in the reserves of biomass, humus and basic nutrients in the soil, a unified comprehensive monitoring of the assessment of the agro-resource potential of its presence and use as a result of the development of degradation processes is needed. The assessment of land resources to determine the trend of soil formation processes and the dynamics of soil fertility in a particular area is very relevant. It is necessary to substantiate the identification of the main factors influencing the process of changing soil fertility, biomass, humus and basic nutrients.

Lead, being a widespread environmental pollutant, affects both the male and female reproductive systems of humans and experimental animals. However, many issues remain unclear, including the morphofunctional state of the placenta and gonads in lead intoxication, which leads to various disorders in the development of the fetus and newborn. It follows from the foregoing that this issue requires a comprehensive and comprehensive study. In the present work, the morphological parameters of the placenta and ovaries of female rats were established after 7 days of oral exposure to lead acetate at a dose of 45 mg/kg of body weight. It was shown that after exposure to lead acetate, morphofunctional restructuring of the cortical and medulla of the ovary of nulliparous female white rats was observed. The cells of the single-layer epithelium covering the ovary from the outside acquire an elongated shape. The protein shell is compacted. There is an increase in the volume of the medulla of the ovary in relation to the cortical, due to the enlargement of the vessels, which indicates an increase in the blood supply to the ovary. In the cortical substance of the ovary, primordial follicles are located mainly singly. Among the more mature forms of follicles, follicles of oval and irregular shape were identified. The yellow bodies found have an irregular shape. In pregnant animals treated with lead acetate, attention is drawn to the high content of atretic follicles. The administration of lead acetate to pregnant rats causes pronounced ultrastructural changes in the labyrinthine zone of the placenta, expressed by thinning of the cyto- and syncytiotrophoblast, vacuolization and clarification of the cytoplasmic matrix, destruction of mitochondria, and a decrease in intercellular contacts between cyto- and syncytiotrophoblastic elements. Against the background of edema and destruction of the trophoblastic structures of the labyrinthine zone of the placenta, the presence of areas with numerous osmiophilic formations was noted. These changes in the placenta can be considered specific for lead intoxication.

The research aims to reveal the truth and conclusions about an object at the Nurul Jadid Vocational School Institution. The subject is human resources. This research found that the human resource planning carried out by the school principal and his staff was going well, so the decline in human resources each year was pretty close to a stable number. This institution has continuously improved management, learning curriculum and marketing systems. The aim is to be competitive and increase interest in the institution. Researchers used descriptive qualitative research methods. Descriptive qualitative research is a problem formulation that guides research to explore or photograph the social situation that will be researched thoroughly, broadly and in-depth. This research shows that the human resource inequality that occurs among students is caused by insufficient employee human resource quotas and inferior employee discipline, which impacts the discipline of students.
