Authors: M Dhany Al Sunah
Published: August 2023

Stunting is still a public health problem in developing countries such as Indonesia with a fairly high prevalence. Stunting is caused by lack of nutritional intake for a long time in the first 1000 days of life (HPK) which is a period of fulfilling nutrition for toddlers. The 2005 WHO-MGRS (Multicentre Growth Reference Study) standard showed that a z-score value less than -2SD was categorized as short, and categorized as very short if the z-score value was less than -3SD. It is known that they have not been widely exposed to stunting so that some of them think that their children / toddlers are shorter than their age is a genetic factor so they do not require further treatment. Koto Agung Village, is an area within the scope of the Jujun Health Center area. People in Koto Agung Village have varying ages ranging from infants and toddlers who are targeted in community service activities as well as throughout the life cycle who come from permanent residents of Koto Agung Village and migrants who live in Koto Agung Village, Keliling Danau District. The community or parents of babies and toddlers in Koto Agung Village mostly have upper secondary education, both mothers and fathers. The method of implementation in the community service program is through providing counseling about stunting to mothers in the Koto Agung Village area through 3 (three) stages, namely implementation strategy meetings, site surveys and preparation of facilities and infrastructure. The results of the implementation of Community Service activities are as follows: Most of the parents and community of Koto Agung Village have secondary education. Parents' knowledge about the stunting prevention program based on the results of the pre-test, most of the pregnant women did not know about the stunting prevention program, while based on the post-test results, almost all parents already understood the implementation of the stunting program

dramatiBackground:In the past decade, the number of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) procedures has steadily increased. Patients over 65 years of age comprise the vast majority of recipients, and outcomes have been well documented; however, patients are opting for definitive surgical treatment at younger ages.We aim to report on the effects of age on the long-term clinical outcomes following aTSA.Methods: Among the patients who underwent TSA, 119 shoulders were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative and postoperative clinical outcome data were collected. Linear regression analysis (univariate and multivariate) was conducted to evaluate the associations of clinical outcomes with age. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate implant survival.Results: At final follow-up, patients of all ages undergoing aTSA experienced significant and sustained improvements in all primary outcome measures compared with preoperative values. Based on multivariate analysis, age at the time of surgery was a significant predictor of postoperative outcomes. Excellent implant survival was observed over the course of this study, and Cox regression survival analysis indicated age and sex to not be associated with an increased risk of implant failure.Conclusions: When controlling for sex and follow-up duration, older age was associated with significantly better patient-reported outcome measures. Despite this difference, we noted no significant effects on range of motion or implant survival.Level of evidence: IV.

Published: August 2023

Extensive scholarly investigation in social studies education has led to a significant shift in the prevailing paradigm, moving away from conventional lecture-based teaching methods and towards adopting novel and student-centric instructional approaches. The utilization of crossword puzzles is a straightforward and innovative strategy for integrating active learning in the field of social studies. This subject area is an introduction for students to gain a fundamental comprehension of current circumstances, employing contemporary terminology and concepts that diverge significantly from their preexisting knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate students’ perspectives on crossword puzzles as a viable strategy for reinforcing essential concepts related to contemporary subjects. The study was carried out at Bagong Nayon II National High School. The study population comprised 60 tenth-grade students from the cohort of 2022-2023. After attending instructional lectures on the subject matter, the students were allocated 40 minutes to solve the puzzle using a freely available online puzzle generator. An eight-item survey instrument questionnaire was utilized to examine students’ perceptions of crossword puzzles. Many learners perceived using the crossword puzzles as an innovative pedagogical strategy, as indicated by most of their positive evaluations. Using crossword puzzles as an active learning strategy offers a unique, creative, and straightforward approach to enhance the retrieval and preservation of information. Consequently, the study demonstrated that appropriately using crossword puzzles increased student involvement. This instructional tool can serve as a means of formative evaluation and offers a cost-effective alternative to the constraints of didactic teaching.

Authors: Wentao Ding
Published: August 2023

Human resources in a company are an essential aspect that determines the effectiveness and success of a company. A company complete with facilities and infrastructure will be meaningless without humans as managers and idea loaders. This study analyzed the effect of job training, financial compensation, and career development on nurse performance. This research method is descriptive quantitative using the Cross-Sectional type, conducted in the inpatient room of Royal Prima Medan Hospital in 2023. The population is all nurses totaling 178 people; the technique of determining the number of samples is total sampling-data analysis using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. The results of research on job training variables (p-value 0.002, t-count 6.156 ≥ t-table 1.28), financial compensation (p-value 0.001, t-count 7.167 ≥ t-table 1.28), and career development (p-value 0.004, t-count 5.612 ≥ t-table 1.28) have a significant influence with a large p-value ≤ 0.05 and t-count greater than t table. The results of F count 78.422 ≥ F table 3.05 and significance 0.004 or smaller than α = 0.05, meaning that the variables of job training, compensation, and career development have a positive and significant effect on performance. The conclusion of the adjusted R Square value is 0.873, meaning that the ability of the independent variables to explain the variation of the dependent variable is 87.3%, and the remaining 12.7% is explained by independent variables not studied, such as work environment and motivation.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: To determine if nursery pigs display different behaviors and postures pre- and post injection during the human-approach paradigm using a digital photographic image. Materials and methods: A digital camera captured an image of nursery pigs in a pen during a human-approach paradigm at two time points, pre- and post injection, with three different treatments. A total of 149 pens containing crossbred, mixed-sexed nursery pigs 42 days of age were used. Each pen of pigs was randomly assigned to one of three injection treatments: Vaccine A (saline administered on day 28 and Vaccine A on day 43); Vaccine B (vaccine administered days 28 and 43); and saline (VSAL; saline administered on days 28 and 43). All pigs were classified as Touched, Oriented, or Not Oriented. Pigs classified as Not-Oriented were further delineated into four postures and two behaviors. Within behavioral categories, snout and tail-base distances from the human were measured. Results: There were no pre-injection pen behavioral differences. Fewer Vaccine B-treated pens were classified as Touched compared to Vaccine A- and VSAL-treated pens. Regardless of treatment, more pigs were Not Oriented post injection than pre-injection. Fewer Vaccine B-treated pigs stood than did other treatments. Vaccine B-treated pigs had the greatest snout and tail-base distances from the human. Implication: It is important to establish the age of the nursery pigs and the vaccine with which they are treated when conducting an on-farm assessment using a human-approach paradigm.

Russian cyber and information warfare in practice: Lessons observed from the war on Ukraine
Authors: Giles Keir
Published: August 2023

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 confounded many expectations about Russian military capabilities and Ukrainian resilience – including in the cyber and information aspects of the war. This paper examines Russia’s deployment of cyber and information operations against Ukraine, assesses the effectiveness of Ukrainian responses, and outlines potential lessons for other states. Many factors contributed to the failure of Russian cyber and information operations to achieve their intended effects. Ukraine had a long time to familiarize itself with its opponent’s methods in the eight years since Russia’s seizure of Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. Russia also badly misjudged Ukrainian resilience, failing to anticipate its adversary’s resourcefulness and whole-of-society approach to mobilizing formal and informal resistance. Crucially, too, Ukraine received – and continues to receive – substantial support from tech firms in the West. Other states looking to learn from the Ukrainian experience should consider, among many factors, the need to be pre-emptive in detecting and monitoring threats, and to ensure that national defence strategies take full account of the interdependencies between different types of Russian operations. There is also a need to review closely the legal implications of wartime activities conducted by civilians and private sector companies, as such activities may blur the distinction between combatants and non-combatants.

Naar een gedragseconomie van het recht

Behavioral economics builds on insights from behavioural sciences, primarily psychology, and aims to explain the behaviour of (groups of) individuals under conditions of scarcity. It applies an empirical methodology grounded in econometrics and based on experimental research. The authors’ proposition is that behavioural law and economics rooted in experiments is a valuable approach to legal studies that complements pre-existing law and economics. Experiments maximise the opportunity to identify causal links and norms as building blocks of the law as interventions in human behaviour, and hence are well suited in the context of empirical legal studies. The research design menu includes variables such as hypothetical decisions versus actual behaviour, experiments with or without full randomisation, pure or quasi, lab versus field, and natural experiments versus experiments that can be manipulated. Behavioural economics operates under conditions of incentive compatibility and the no-deception principle. In this article, the authors set out a research agenda for behavioural law and economics research, covering private law (consumer and contract law as well as liability and tort law), administrative law, and economic law.

Authors: Iliyasu D.
Published: August 2023

Honey is a nutritive natural by-product of bees obtained from nectar collected from flowering plants. It contains moisture, sugars, enzymes, essential elements and vitamins. This study is designed to determine the effects of graded dose of honey administered orally on gonadal and extra-gonadal sperm reverses of rabbit. Twelve apparently healthy male rabbit (buck) aged two months weighing 4 ±1.2 kg were purchased and housed in a cages at the Large Animal Clinic, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Maiduguri. The rabbits were fed, grower mesh and supplemented with groundnut leaves, drinking water was provided ad libitum. The rabbits were acclimatized for 14 days. Thereafter, they were randomly divided into 4 groups A, B, C and D as treatment groups and control group, respectively, with 3 rabbits in each group. Groups A, B and C were administered orally graded dose of honey at the dose rate of (5, 10 and 15) ml respectively, between 9:00 – 10:00 am daily for 6 weeks. At the end of the experimental period the rabbits were aseptically prepared for surgical removal of their testes. The testes and epididymides were carefully sampled, weighed and processed. The results revealed that the right, left, and paired testicles weights were not significantly different among the treatment groups compared to the control (group D). However, the testicular sperm reserves were significantly (P <0.05) influenced by the treatments. Sperm reserves in both left and right testicles of rabbits treated with 5 ml of honey were not significantly different with the group that was administered with 10ml of water but, groups that were administered 10ml and 15ml of honey were significantly (P><0.05) higher than the group that was administered with 5 ml of honey compared to the group treated with 10 ml of water. The epididymal sperm reserves were significantly (P><0.05) higher than the groups treated with 10 ml and 15 ml of honey compared to the group treated with 5 ml of honey and the group treated with 10 ml of water. This study suggests that honey has the potential to influence gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves of rabbits at dosage of 10- 15 ml per day for optimum quantity and quality of semen>

Published: August 2023

The data of 344 Murrah buffaloes maintained at the university over a period of 20 years from 1993 to 2012 were analysed. From these results, in view of higher heritability estimated for milk yield/day of first calving interval selection on basis of these traits would result in higher genetic improvement in first lactation milk. High genetic and phenotypic correlations of MYFCI with other production efficiency traits also substantiate that, this can be used as a selection criterion. Therefore, selection based on MYFCI would result in improvement in desirable direction through positive correlated response in all the traits under study.

High correlation estimates between body weight and shank length revealed strong association among traits. The significant positive association between 4 and 6 weeks shank length and body weight in the Gramapriya male line chicken suggest the breeder to pre-pone the selection to 4 weeks age which economizes the production cost. Besides, the immune competence of the birds was also found to be better, making them suitable male line for production of backyard poultry varieties.

The antifungal potential of solvent extracts of four plants, viz. Polyalthia longifolia (Sonn.) Thw. (PL), Paederia foetida (PF), Limonia acidissima L. (LA) and Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del. (BA), were screened during the year 2010 and 2011 against important plant pathogenic fungi. The methanol, petroleum ether, chloroform and waterÂ  extracts, of the plants were bio-assayed against test fungi, Rhizoctonia bataticola, R. solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, S. rolfsii, Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria alternata and Pythium aphanidermatum. Out of 16 plant extracts, extracts of P. longifolia recorded significant antifungal activity (up to 84% inhibition) against almost all test fungi. The methanol extract of P. longifolia gave most promising results for inhibiting the test fungi, resulting in inhibition concentration (IC50) in the range of 200-600 ppm. Hence, a single methanol extract of the plant P. longifolia could act as a promising biofungicide for inhibiting the growth of different fungi responsible for crop losses. Thus these plants extracts have potential to act as effective fungicide.

Efficacy and residual toxicity of seven plant product extracts in hexane, methanol and ethyl acetate were evaluated against cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii and whitefly, Bemisia tabaci on potato under controlled condition and efficacy of effective extracts were further evaluated under field condition at Central Potato Research Institute Campus, Modipuram during 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively. The importance of aphids and whitefly is mainly due to their role in spread of viruses in potato crop. The highest mortality of whitefly (65.91%) was recorded in methanol bark extract of dalchini (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) followed by hexane bark extract of jatamansi (Nardostachus jatamansi) (64.3%) and methanol extract of coriander (Coriander sativus) (64.03%) after 72 hr of release as compared to control. In case of aphid, the highest mortality (44.06%) was recorded in ethyl acetate seed extract of malkangni (Celastrus paniculatus) followed by methanol extract of dalchini (40.81%) and methanol extract of jatamansi (40.72%) after 72 hr of release as compared to control. Periodic toxicity data revealed that all the tested extracts lost their toxicity within 3-4 days after spray. Hexane extract of jatamansi gave maximum PT values 53.81 and 70.3 against aphid and whitefly, respectively. Overall, hexane bark extract of jatamansi was even effective against whitefly and aphids under field condition and recorded 296.8 q tuber yield which is almost at par with methanol bark extract of dalchini (301.2 q). However, tuber yield data did not reveal significant differences among the plant product treatments with frequent spraying of plant product. This study suggested that plant product extract sprays may be included in IPM program to reduce the dependence on popular toxic chemicals to suppress aphid and whitefly population effectively on the potato crop.

Ten gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrida Hort.) cultivars were evaluated for 18 characters to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and correlation to identify suitable gladiolus cultivar for mid-hill conditions of Arunachal Pradesh. The magnitude of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). The high value of PCV along with GCV observed for plant height, leaf length, florets/spike, vase life, corm weight and cormels/plant indicated that there is variability in these characters. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was recorded for plant height, leaf length, florets/spike, corm diameter, corm weight and number of cormels/plant. Positive highly significant correlation of days to heading with days to first floret showing colour and days to opening of first floret was observed. Spike length was also significant and positively correlated with flower diameter and number of cormels/plant. Corm diameter was positive and highly significantly correlated with corm weight and polar diameter. Spike length was recorded maximum in cv. Chantiler (85.23 cm), whereas number of florets/spike was recorded maximum in cv. Red Majesty (15.94) followed by cv. Pusa Jyotsna (15.81). Cultivars Chantiler and Red Majesty are very prolific in producing number of cormels/plant.

A field experiment was conducted during three consecutive years of 2011 to 2013 at Central Potato Research Station, Shillong to evaluate the economic feasibility of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) based cropping system under rainfed condition of eastern Himalayan region. There were seven cropping systems replicated thrice under randomized block design. The potato was the main crop during summer season while succeeding seven crops (potato, maize, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, rajmash and radish) were taken during autumn season. Results revealed that potato based various cropping sequence differ significantly for most of the desirable parameters which decided the economic viability to adopt the system approach for efficient utilization of natural resources. Among the cropping systems, potato-cabbage recorded significantly the highest potato tuber equivalent yield (51.6 tonnes/ha), production efficiency (210.5 kg/ha/day), economic efficiency (Rupees 1414.6 /ha/day), maximum net monetary return (Rupees 366.8 x 103/ha), benefit cost ratio (3.5) and energy productivity (1.35 kg/MJ). Hence, potato-cabbage was concluded as the most stable and profitable cropping system for the ecosystem of eastern Himalayan region.
The Saurasaṃhitā: The Earliest Surviving Tantra on Sun-Worship
Authors: Acharya Diwakar
Published: August 2023

The Saurasaṃhitā is the earliest surviving Tantra text on Sun worship available by far, and is preserved in a palm-leaf manuscript preserved in National Archives, Kathmandu, dated Nepal Samvat 69 (equivalent to 949 CE). The Saurasaṃhitā is a little-known but important text that identifies the Sun god with Śiva. What is special in the Saurasaṃhitā is the fact that the cult of Śiva-Sūrya has lost its independence existence in South Asia, whereas in Bali it has not only maintained its independent but also taken central stage.
