The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that support and inhibit the development of village-owned enterprises (BUMDESA), the role of BUMDESA in the development of creative economic enterprises and gender equality. This study uses a qualitative analysis technique with a descriptive explanation level, namely an analysis technique that describes qualitative data in the form of the development of BUMDESA, the manifestation of the role of BUMDESA in the development of the creative economy and gender equality as well as the factors that encourage and inhibit BUMDes. The population of this study were all BUMDESAs in coastal village tourism objects in Badung Regency, using the convenience sampling method, so the samples were 4 BUMDESAs that had developed and 6 creative economies in coastal village tourism objects in Badung Regency. Data for 2022, in Badung Regency the formation and types of BUMDes businesses vary because Badung Regency is very synonymous with tourism objects and the creative economy in it, including; savings and loans, waste management, cooperatives, drinking water management, organic fertilizer management, and in tourist areas there are rental boats, bicycles and others for tourists. Here the community provides boats, bicycles for rent and is managed by BUMDESA, so the community can be involved in it. The role of BUMDESA in the creative economy sector is manifested in the form of providing capital loan assistance with conditions and low interest rates for Balinese culinary culinary businesses and fruit culinary businesses, so that these culinary businesses can increase business volume and absorb more labor, especially housewives. . Likewise, the creative economy of surfing board crafts can increase business volume more broadly. For gender equality, namely BUMDESA has the role of absorbing labor in the village, especially women so that it provides the same proportion as the role of men in the village. Many women work in BUMDes units and even as BUMDESA administrators so they can improve gender equality

The continuously increasing oil prices make us realize that petroleum supplies are dwindling, therefore governments around the world are supporting the development of alternative fuels that are cheaper and more environmentally friendly, known as biodiesel. The research aims to measure the oil content of plants found on Jimbaran Hill. The method used is the exploration method by walking around Bukit Jimbaran. The oil is extracted from the seeds which have been dried by the soxhletation method using hexane as a solvent. The results showed that there were 14 species found on Jimbaran Hill. The highest oil content was obtained from mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni L.), namely 45.26%. This was followed by the kapok plant (Ceiba pentandra) with an oil content of 34.13%. While the lowest oil content was obtained from the orok-orok plant (Crotalaria juncea), namely 2.13%. Other non-food plants found in Bukit Jimbaran that have potential as biodiesel are the Ketapang plant (Terminalia catappa) and the butterfly plant (Bauhinia purpurea L.) with yields of 28.23% and 25.20% respectively.
PEMBIASAN ANTARA ACT OF STATE DOCTRINE DAN KEKEBALAN JURISDIKSI
Authors: PURWANTO BAMBANG
Published: September 2023

In international law, the principle of state jurisdiction is recognized, wherein a state has the right to apply its laws within its territory to individuals, objects, and events. In practice, this principle can affect the implementation of state sovereignty. The once absolute sovereignty of a state becomes limited by the presence of other states, thus weakening the theory of absolute immunity. The weakening of the theory of absolute immunity also automatically impacts sovereign immunity, presenting challenges for a state in exercising its jurisdiction, especially in adjudicating cases involving actions in other countries. In an effort to balance the impact of weakened sovereign immunity in international law, a theory introduced by the United States emerged, known as the Act of State Doctrine. This theory seemingly provides a secondary protection for states in enforcing their laws. However, there is a resemblance between the theory of sovereign immunity and the Act of State Doctrine in scope and limitations, leading to confusion in interpretation. Therefore, clear discussions are necessary to provide a sharper understanding of both theories.
Advancements in Optimizing Fuzzy Grid Partition for Enhanced Rule Generation Performance: Algorithms, Interpretability, and Scalability
Authors: Shofakirova Nazarshoev , Khorg Tojiniso
Published: September 2023

This research focuses on optimizing fuzzy grid partitioning to enhance rule generation performance in fuzzy rule-based systems. A novel mathematical formulation is proposed, aiming to minimize the number of fuzzy grid cells while considering coverage, regularity, and overlap constraints. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach through a case example in credit risk assessment. The optimized fuzzy grid partitioning scheme generates concise and interpretable fuzzy rules, improving the accuracy and interpretability of the rule-based system. The research highlights the significance of interpretability in rule-based systems and showcases the scalability and applicability of the approach across various domains. However, limitations include the lack of comprehensive comparisons, limited exploration of generalizability to different datasets, and the need for real-world implementation considerations. Nonetheless, this research provides valuable insights into optimizing fuzzy grid partitioning for rule generation and contributes to the advancement of fuzzy rule-based systems in decision support and problem-solving tasks. Future work should address the identified limitations and explore the practical implementation of the approach.

Authors: Hnizdiukh R.V.
Published: September 2023

Arterial hypertension is a very heterogeneous disease, therefore the influence of environmental factors along with genetic factors leads to various options for the development and course of arterial hypertension. The aim of the study – to find out the effect of fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs on the features of the clinical course of arterial hypertension in patients with gene polymorphism. We examined 86 patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 consisted of 43 people who received a fixed combination of valsartan and amlodipine, group 2 included 43 patients who received a fixed combination of olmesartan and amlodipine. In patients of group 1, a significant decrease in average daily systolic blood pressure (SBP) in carriers of the AC genotype of the AGTR1 gene was established by 7.0% (p<0.01), as well as SBP and DBP (diastolic blood pressure) in carriers of the CC genotype by 11.3 % and 9.8% (p<0.01) respectively. Carriers of the TT, TC, and CC genotypes of the eNOS gene had a significant decrease in SBP by 7.8%, 8.3%, and 13.6% (p<0.01), respectively, and DBP was significantly different from the indicator before treatment in carriers of the CC genotype and decreased by 11.0% (p<0.02). In patients of group 2, a significant decrease in SBP in carriers of the AC genotype of the AGTR1 gene was established by 8.2 % and in DBP in carriers of the CC genotype by 11.2% (p<0.01). Carriers of TT, TC and CC genotypes of the eNOS gene had a probable decrease in the level of average daily SBP by 8.3%, 9.7% and 16.5%, respectively, compared to the level before treatment (p<0.01). In carriers of the CC genotype of the eNOS gene, BP decreased by 13.2% (p<0.01). It has been proven that the use of fixed combinations of valsartan with amlodipine and olmesartan with amlodipine in terms of its effect on the clinical course and the level of SBP and DBP in patients with arterial hypertension with a gene polymorphism is almost the same and is most pronounced in carriers of the CC genotype of the AGTR1 and eNOS genes.

From learning about social categories to holding stereotypes. Investigating the acquisition of stereotypes in childhood and their effects on adults’ information processing
Authors:   , Mari Magali A.
Published: September 2023

Assuming that boys are better at math than girls, expecting that Swiss people love to eat chocolate, or inferring that senior citizens are not at ease with new technologies, all reflect stereotypical expectations about specific social categories. The term “stereotype” refers to shared sets of expectancies about the likely personality, behaviors, preferences, or physical features of social category members. From a cognitive perspective, stereotypes are energy saving devices – mental shortcuts – that allow perceivers to spare processing costs when navigating their complex social environment. Yet, inferring people’s preferences, behaviors, or personality from their category membership can also lead to incorrect predictions, to offensive assumptions, or even to discriminatory behaviors. The present dissertation aims to shed light on the mechanisms by which we form expectations about social categories, and how these expectations impact information processing. Specifically, the first part of this dissertation provides a developmental perspective on how children learn about social categories. It specifically examines how children learn to make inferences about social categories, and the conditions under which children start attributing properties to social category members. The second part of this dissertation turns to the resulting stereotypes that adults hold about social categories, and how these stereotypes modulate information processing. This part focuses on the mental processes that underlie stereotyping and assesses how the processing of written texts is affected by items that confirm versus contradict stereotypical expectations. Together, this dissertation provides a cognitive and developmental perspective on the acquisition of stereotypes and their later effects on information processing. In doing so, this dissertation will hopefully bring a better comprehension of the foundational cognitive processes that underlie stereotyping and its consequences.

Toxicity test in the laboratory revealed that Ultracide 40eC (Methidathion) and Decis 12.5eC (Deltamethrin) caused 100% kill at half hour after application of the chemicals and early knockdown effect on all the stages of the insect tested. The four insecticides showed total kill at 1.0% concentration on the 2nd and 4th instars of the insect within one quarter hour. However, the use of pruning of 4-5 leaves as a treatment and the combination of pruning, natural enemies and spot application of Ultracide 40eC (lPM) as another treatment gave better control than use of Decis, Ultracide and natural enemies individually against the pest. The pruning and the IPM treatments indicated low population of the pest as 0.94 and 0.59 respectively compared to their initial populations of 8.31 and 29.13 before the experiment

Published: September 2023

On-farm experiments were carried out in Ibadan on stored cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) to evaluate the effectiveness of post-harvest treatments designed for the control of Callosobruchus maculatus F and adoptability by small farmers Two treatments effectively reduced C. maculatus damage. Dennettia tripetala Baker f. and Piper guineense Schum and Thonn. essential oil extracts at 5ml/5kg seeds effectively reduced seed damage to 10% and 12.5% compared to 43% and 90% seed damage on cowpea treated with Permethrin dust (2.5ppm) and untreated control respectively, 6 months after treatment. Treatments, which successfully controlled bruchids in on-farm experiments, were evaluated to determine effects on germination. Germination was determined by trials planted in sand. Germination was not significantly (P > 0.05) changed by storage treatments. Analysis of bruchid damage on seed quality showed a decrease in germination related to the number of emergence holes The promise for small-farmer adoption of these successful treatments is evaluated.

Published: September 2023

Farmers’ millet fields in northern Nigeria were surveyed in 1995 and 1996 to determine the current status of stem borers on pearl millet. The surveys confirmed Coniesta ignefusalis Hampson as the predominant stem borer on millet. Sesamia sp. was recorded on millet only once in a sorghum/millet intercrop. C. ignefusalis attacked millet stems in all ecological zones (Guinea and Sudan savannas, and the Sahelian zone), and in all the northern states surveyed (Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Katsina, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba and Yobe). Infestation ranged from 0 to 100%, depending on the millet variety, and was lower in the Sahel than in the Sudan, Northern Guinea and Southern Guinea Savanna ecological zones. Millet intercropped with legumes (cowpea and groundnut)had higher stem borer attack than sole millet or millet intercropped with cereals (maize’ and sorghum) or cereals plus legumes. Millet near villages where old millet stems were used for fencing and thatching had unusually high stem borer infestation levels, sometimes up to 100% with associated severe damage and yield loss Syzeuctus sp. was the most prevalent stem borer parasitoid. Mean natural infestation of the stem borer by parasitoids was 10.25%. Other insects recorded on millet included various flower and grain feeding beetles, sucking and spittle bugs, grasshoppers, the millet head miner, flies, earwigs, bees and wasps.

Okra farms in Bauchi State, Nigeria were surveyed during the wet season of 1997 to 1999 (May – November) to determine the incidence, abundance and distribution of Podagrica spp. Sole-cropped okra farms belonging to peasant farmers were used for the survey. In all the places visited, farms selected for the survey were usually divided into four equal parts and from each part two okra plants were randomly selected from a square meter. Thereafter, number of Podagrica spp. on the randomly selected okra plant within the square meter were counted, collected and taken to the laboratory for further identification. Result of the survey confirmed the presence of Podagrica spp. in Bauchi State. The results also indicated that P. sjostedi was more abundant and widely distributed throughout the State than P. uniforma.
Influence of Azadirachitin on the ecdysone controlled developmental processes . in the stored grain pest, Tribolium confusum (Du Val.)
Authors: VARDHINI D. , MARY A., , RAJA S. , RENUKA P.
Published: September 2023

Azadirachtin, a potent antifeedant and growth regulator isolated from the neem tree Azadirachta indica A. Juss was tested against the stored grain pest Tribolium confusum (duval). Optimum growth regulating effect was observed at 1000 ppm of azadirachtin. The larval development to adults was greatly reduced. Pupal mortality and abnormally developed adults were also observed. The strong influence of azadirachtin on larval – pupa and pupal – adult moults is interpreted as an interference with moulting hormone pools, thus signifying azadirachtin’s role as a potential tool in controlling the stored grain pest T. confusum (Duval).
Aspects of the Biology of the Seed Beetle, Bruchidius atrolineatus (Pic.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) on Stored Seeds of Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp
Authors: OFUYA T.I.
Published: September 2023

Observations were made on the biology of the seed beetle. Bruchidius atrolineatus (Pic.) which attacks seeds of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. in the West African Sahel. The egg laying pattern and realized fecundity of females, effect of host availability on egg laying, effect of seed size on seed choice for oviposition and beetle population fluctuation, were examined. The number of eggs laid by females reached a peak in the first day after emergence and decreased with age. The realized fecundity of females was 56.73 ± 1.37 eggs. Female fecundity and fertility were not influenced by duplicate mating. Female fecundity and development period were independent of seed population and size. B. atrolineatus‘ preferred large seeds to smaller ones for oviposition. Larvae consumed more seed material (18.8 ± 0.72) mg) from larger seeds and thus produced bigger adults (5’:1± 0.62 mg). There were more survivors from larger seeds at infestation level of four or more larvae per seed. These observations are discussed in relation to the population dynamics of the species.

Authors: MUSE W.A. , OSUYA U.L.
Published: September 2023

Changes in the head protein of male and female Chrysomya chloropy (Wiedemann) have been studied at different ages of the adult. The total protein content of head of female from emergence to 28 day-old flies was higher than those of male of the same ages, suggesting higher protein synthesis in the head of female. Female protein content increased from day 0 to 12 days and thereafter became steady but those of males were steady throughout the 28-day period of study. Protein fractions 87.1, 138.0 and 213.8 kd were distinct and specific for male while fractions 52.5 and 70.8kd were specific for females .. Females have higher molecular weight fractions than males but the males possess lower molecular weight fractions than females. This suggests differences ill the pattern of protein accumulation in the head of male and female C. chlorophyga.

BACKGROUND: Various methods are offered to effectively eliminate cellulite and improve skin appearance; however, its treatment remains one of the most difficult tasks in aesthetic medicine. The arsenal of tools that allow an objective assessment of cosmetic and esthetic therapeutic measures is very limited.
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of the compression microvibration method to treat structural and functional skin changes in women with gynoid lipodystrophy of different age groups.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center, nonrandomized, prospective study of the effectiveness of the compression microvibration method (Endospheres Therapy) was carried out in 27 women (4069 years old) with mild-to-moderate gynoid lipodystrophy under the control of ultrasonographic skin examination before treatment, after 12 procedures, and after 2 months. After a course of therapy, skin ultrasonography was performed using a specialized high-resolution digital ultrasound system DUB SkinScanner (tpm GmbH, Germany) equipped with a 75 MHz transducer with a resolution of 21 m and a scanning depth of 46 mm. Additionally, anthropometric parameters were measured, and the body mass index was calculated.
RESULTS: Changes in body mass index (BMI) revealed a trend toward weight loss in most of the participants. The circumference of the hips and waist in participants aged 4049, 5059 and 6069 years decreased by 3.01.1 and 5.31.1, 2.20.9 and 4.11.3 and 2.50.9 and 6.31.5 cm, respectively. It was found that after the course of Endospheres Therapy in patients of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd age groups in the areas of the anterior, inner, posterior surface of the thigh and the anterior surface of the abdomen, the thickness of the dermis decreased by 15.6, 9.5 and 18.1%; 10.9, 10.5 and 19.3%; 6.1, 15.7 and 13.8%, 23.4, 14.7 and 14.5% (p 0.05), respectively; increased echogenicity of the dermis in the areas of the anterior, inner, posterior thigh and anterior abdominal surface by 2, 1.4 and 1.3; 1.2, 1.4 and 1.2; 1.4, 1.4 and 1.5; 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 times (p 0.05), respectively. The echogenicity of the hypodermis decreased in the studied areas by 30.8, 27.6 and 31.2% (p 0.05); 20.1, 37.3 and 40.4% (p 0.05); 43.2, 57.8 (p 0.05) and 9.3%; 23.6, 15.2 (p 0.05) and 9.3%, respectively. The effect persisted 60 days after the course of therapy.
CONCLUSION: These results have convincingly demonstrated the effectiveness of Endospheres Therapy in women with mild-to-moderate gynoid lipodystrophy for body shaping and skin improvement in the long term without revealing any side effects.

Published: September 2023

Objective: Our study aims to evaluate the depression and burnout states (according to their sociodemographic characteristic) of Turkish Oncology Physicians (both medical and radiation oncologists) who follow up and treat oncology patients.
Materials and methods: Actively working radiation oncology practitioners (n:267)who completed the questionnaire voluntarily were included to the study. A 13-item personal information form was prepared to determine the participants' sociodemographic characteristics. Data were transferred to the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 program using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDE).
Results: A statistically significant relationship (with both positive and high levels) was found between the beck depression scale score and the emotional exhaustion subscale while a statistically significant association (with bothpositive and middle levels) was found between the Beck depression scale score and the depersonalization subscale, and a statistically significant relationship (with both positive and low levels) was found between the beck depression scale score and the personal success subscale (p<0,05).
Conclusion: In our study, depression status and burnout presence were detected in the doctors working in the field of oncology. It is important to take precautions before entering depression and before burnout begins. As a result, the quality of life for physicians will improve, leading to enhanced diagnoses and treatments for cancer patients, as well as fostering positive relationships with both patients and their families

Published: September 2023

Aim: In patients with hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy have become a standard of care.

Methods: This was a retrospective study involved patients over the age of 18 years, who had de novo metastatic or locally breast cancer progressed to the metastatic stage and were treated with ribociclib and/or palbociclib.

Results: The mean age of a total of 73 patients included in the study was 57.0±10.3 years. Thirty-four (46.6%) patients were treated with palbociclib, 35 (47.9%) patients with ribociclib, 4 (5.5%) with palbociclib and ribociclib. Twenty-five (34.2%) of the patients developed any grade of hepatotoxicity, 12 (16.4%) of them was grade 2 hepatotoxicity. Of these patients, 11 (44%) received palbociclib, 13 (52%) received ribociclib, and 1 (4%) received palbociclib and ribociclib. In patients who were treated with palbociclib, 1 (2.9%) developed grade 3 hepatotoxicity and 1 (2.9%) developed grade 4 hepatotoxicity. Of those who received ribociclib, 3 (8.5%)

developed grade 3 hepatotoxicity and 2 (5.7%) developed grade 4 hepatotoxicity.

Conclusions: In conclusion, it can be stated that ribociclib is more toxic to the liver than palbociclib, since patients who received ribociclib and developed grade 3-4 hepatotoxicity had no disease that facilitates hepatotoxicity. We believe that more comprehensive studies are needed to determine the factors that facilitate hepatotoxicity such as liver metastasis and to select the drug accordingly will prevent patients from being devoid of this group of drugs and discontinuing their treatment due to toxicity.

Abstract

Aim: The current innovations in breast cancer treatment have led to an increased utilization of neoadjuvant therapy. Pathological complete response following neoadjuvant therapy is a crucial prognostic factor for predicting survival. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of radiological methods in predicting patholojical complete response in our patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

Material and Methods: The medical records of patients who received treatment for breast cancer at our hospital between January 2017 and January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The study included female patients over the age of 18 with locally advanced unifocal breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Demographic information, menopausal status, molecular subtypes, radiological results, disease stage, treatment and surgical methods, and pathology results were recorded.

Results: A total of 4474 patients were treated for breast cancer out of which 94 patients met the criteria for this study. The mean age of the patients was 49.9 ± 11.06 years. Ultrasonography was performed on all patients, while FDG-PetCT was performed on 47 (50%) patients and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on 31 (33%) patients for radiological response evaluation. The radiological complete response was highest in the FDG-petCT group (39.4%). The rate of pathological complete response was 35.1%.

Conclusion: Although FDG-PETCT has high sensitivity in predicting pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancers, the common use of ultrasonography, FDG-PETCT, and magnetic resonance imaging is more advantageous due to their different benefits.
