Introduction: Preoperative period can be anxiety-inducing. The study aims to examine if bringing about the cognizance of diagnosis, surgery, and anesthesia will help reduce anxiety. It also intends to analyze factors that may cause or decrease preoperative anxiety in these patients. Methods and Materials: Following an ethics committee approval, eighty-four patients were randomized into two equal groups (n=42 in each): Group I (Counseled) and Group II (Routine information). All patients were made to rate each question from a questionnaire (16 questions stating possible causes of anxiety) on a scale of 0-100 (Numeric rating scale (NRS)) to define their level of anxiety. Group I was then explained about the surgical procedure outlined, diagnosis, and anaesthetic procedure planned and made to rate the points on the questionnaire again. Group II patients were given routine information. Data from two group was compared with pre and post-intervention using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Results: Group I had an average score of 44.119% prior to counseling which significantly reduced to 29.78% after counseling. Group II curiously showed a lower average score of 23.92%. On further probing, it was established that those of firm religious beliefs in group II gave average scores close to or equivalent to 0%. Conclusion: Providing awareness on diagnosis, planned surgery, and anesthesia can significantly reduce preoperative anxiety. Religious beliefs can also allay the fear of the unknown. Preoperative counseling to form cognizance of the situation ahead should be promoted to decrease anxiety in patients who are to be operated on.

Background: Stillbirth is a major contributor to perinatal mortality, and abortion is one of the important causes of maternal mortality. Understanding the true magnitude and associated factors is important to devise appropriate public health strategies to curb the issue. Objective: To determine the magnitude of pregnancy wastage (abortion and stillbirth) and socio-demographic factors associated with the study population. Methods: The secondary data analysis was performed on DLHS-4 data of 45,690 women in the reproductive age group in Maharashtra. Magnitude of lifetime pregnancy wastage and last pregnancy wastage was estimated as proportion and rates per 1000 pregnancies. Univariate and bivariate analysis were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). The last pregnancy wastage indicator was cross-tabulated with socio-demographic indicators to understand the correlation. Results: Lifetime pregnancy wastage among the study population was found to be 12.4% (1.5% stillbirth, 3.8% induced abortion, and 7.1% spontaneous abortion). The magnitude of pregnancy wastage for the last reported pregnancy was 3.9% (0.7% stillbirth, 1.5% induced abortions, and 1.7% spontaneous abortion). Stillbirth was significantly associated with place of residence and woman remunerated in the last 12 months. Induced abortion was significantly associated with the age of woman, education, place of residence, caste, age at marriage, and husband education. Spontaneous abortion was significantly associated with age, literacy status, and remunerated in the last 12 months. Conclusion: The study finding indicates a higher number of stillbirths and abortions that emphasizes the urgent need of formulating appropriate strategies to reduce pregnancy wastage.
Mutually Beneficial Publisher and Artist Regulated Distribution Model for the Niche Music Industry
Authors:   Bangor University, Thomas Steffan
Published: July 2022

Copyright and intellectual protection cannot always answer the requirements for a niche independent or minority language music publisher or artist. This paper assesses the challenges faced within the independent niche and minority language music market, and seeks to establish a model which could generate a sustainable digital income and reap remuneration for creativity. Using Varian’s (2005) fourteen business model categorisations as a framework, four types of business model solutions are considered: a price based model; a control model; a bundled model; and finally an enhanced content and relationship model. This paper concludes with a conceptual model which could be mutually beneficial for publishers and consumers of niche music. The niche, independent or minority language artists or publishers will be referred to as micro or SME companies (Small-to-Medium sized Enterprises) within this paper. Micro and SME’s as a classification, rather than independent publishers, limits the scope of the proposed model’s application to companies with a staff of fewer than 25 and a turnover below £10million. These are companies with limited resources to invest in researching and developing a digital distribution strategy.
Approaching the Potential of Cyber-Physical Systems to Tourism Projects
Authors:   Research Centre for Spatial and Organizational Dynamics, Faculty of Economics, University of Algarve, Fernandes Silvia
Published: July 2022

We are witnessing the need for a quick and intelligent reaction from organizations to the level and speed of change in business processes. This is often associated with the emerging of new information systems and technologies, bursting problems like the persistence of wrong information, systems not fully used and slow response. This requires two main actions: synchronizing people’s visions and strategies within the organization and selecting the information which is relevant for the strategic goals. The main challenge of the proposed approach is to choose the information systems’ portfolio management aligned with the enterprise architecture. This integration leads to modelling the process architecture of the company, which in turn serves as a reference for knowledge-base management to cope with business prospects. This kind of flexible framework can contribute to managing the potential adherence to new systems such as the mobile, cloud, big-data or IoT-based services that tend to proliferate especially in such areas as tourism and health.

The Algorithmic Production of the Visual: Portrait Mode, Instagram and the Automation of Mobile Photography
Authors:   Europen Humanities University, Boichanka Dzmitry
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the intersection between visual and software cultures, in which the software becomes responsible for the production of the visual content. The first part of the paper defines visual culture as a continuation of the classic capitalist mode of production which re-creates everything in terms of outputs but avoids reinvention of the means of production. The second part of the paper presents the analysis of the software culture and its ongoing trend to modify human practices with technological extensions which dramatically alters the means of production. The third part of the paper describes the consequences of the collision of the two cultures. In particular, we consider iPhone Portrait Mode as a consumer-oriented example of micro-automation which helps to valorize the mobile photography, and Instagram as a medium of the aesthetic visual communication which provides users with tools to edit photos with filters, mixture them into stories, furnish with metadata, and deploy to the global informational network.

The paper deals with the influence of the “Internet of Things” and its opportunities for the publishing business model. It offers a contribution for scientific research in media management to establish the relevance of data-centric business models. The aim of the paper is to work out the increasing relevance of data for the publishing business model. Potentials under the influence of the “Internet of Things” for the publishing business model with regard to four dimensions of business models are worked out: Value creation, value proposition, earnings mechanics and customers. These dimensions show the opportunities that publishers can exploit by integrating intelligent everyday objects as a content channel. Additionally, the author points out that publishing houses operate in a data-centric environment with the integration of intelligent everyday objects as a content channel. The data-centerd publishing business model is analysed on the basis of features, in particular with regard to its potential.

Authors: Carvalho André Luis , Gimenez Marcos
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo visa apresentar a aplicabilidade e implicações jurídicas acerca da utilização dos bancos nacionais de perfis genéticos para fins criminais através de uma análise sobre a criação e desenvolvimento dos dispositivos jurídicos no país, utilizando-se do procedimento metodológico clássico da consulta bibliográfica, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, tendo o tema relação com direito penal, processual penal, direitos humanos, bioética, genética forense e criminologia, sendo imprescindível a interação do Direito com outras áreas de conhecimento científico. As evoluções das biotecnologias promovem manifestações políticas para a criação de leis visando a plena utilização e a colheita desse material genético com o escopo de elucidação de crimes e posterior redução da criminalidade. A proteção jurídica dos dados genéticos é fundamental para as discussões sobre novas teorias de direitos humanos no Estado Democrático de Direito, no entanto, as criações de tais ordenamentos jurídicos com o intuito de garantir a segurança pública violam diversos direitos e garantias individuais dos acusados e sentenciados, valendo-se ressaltar a arguição de inconstitucionalidade de alguns dispositivos legais através do Recurso Extraordinário nº 973.873 / MG. A atuação estatal visando a garantia da segurança, através de influências dos controles sociais informais, em destaque a opinião pública, seguem fundadas em detrimento das garantias fundamentais que sustentam o Estado Democrático de Direito.
Análise do processo de planejamento participativo na construção do plano de bacias hidrográficas: um estudo do plano 2016-2027 do Comitê da Baixada Santista
Authors: Lopes Mario Marcos , Ryter Michelle
Published: July 2022

A participação social na elaboração dos planejamentos é uma peça fundamental, contribuindo com a descentralização e fazendo que as políticas públicas traduzam os interesses da sociedade. Desse modo, este estudo objetiva analisar os desafios e destacar as vantagens da participação social nos comitês de bacia hidrográficas do Estado de São Paulo, por meio de um estudo de caso do Plano de Bacia Hidrográfica (PBH) 2016-2027 do Comitê de Bacia Hidrográfica da Baixada, comparando a participação social de acordo com os oito níveis elencados por Arnstein (2002). Adotou-se como metodologia de pesquisa a participação e observação das reuniões do comitê e aplicação de questionário para os integrantes de duas Oficinas Participativas. Durante o processo observou-se que a principal dificuldade foi a articulação e gestão na organização dos eventos para que a população participe, uma vez que acarretou no atraso da duração do planejamento. Contudo, o envolvimento da população permite realizar um planejamento mais próximo da realidade local, tornando mais exequível e envolvendo a população na tomada de decisão, como também na sensibilização de preservação e conservação dos recursos hídricos.
Elementos de doutrinação política no cotidiano escolar mediante ações do programa escola sem partido: uma análise sob a ótica foucaultiana
Authors: Souza Joel
Published: July 2022

Este trabalho de pesquisa pretende apresentar subsídios para reflexões na área da educação, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao Programa Escola sem Partido e suas aspirações na concepção de um Projeto de Lei que, apesar de se autodenominar garantidor dos direitos de pais e alunos, prevê na verdade o cerceamento das atividades de professores e demais educadores. Como metodologia de amparo para análise da massa documental coletada, empregou-se os ensinamentos de Bardin; para reflexão das possíveis influências no cotidiano escolar, foram arrolados autores interdisciplinares do porte de Paulo Freire, sobretudo quanto à sua percepção de uma educação libertadora e tendo como centro o pensador Foucault, com suas concepções sociológicas. Como resultado da presente investigação, apurou-se que, caso seja aprovado e sancionado o PL da EsP, tal medida poderá implicar um grande retrocesso nas relações humanas que envolvem o dispositivo escolar com possíveis reflexos negativos no sistema educacional brasileiro.

Authors: Menezes Anderson Luiz Ferreira de , Silva Alcides Belfort da , Mari Maria Mônica Piovesan
Published: July 2022

A presente pesquisa tem por escopo analisar o instituto Usucapião coletivo como um instrumento para a aquisição de propriedade por moradores de favelas e terrenos urbanos irregulares. Busca a relação entre o direito à propriedade e o princípio da função social da propriedade, procura também, desvendar as modalidades de usucapião que temos em nosso ordenamento jurídico; conhecer as características dos terrenos que podem ser usucapidos, entender quais pressupostos que se configuram a utilização coletiva e individual. Realizar um paradigma entre o direito fundamental a moradia, que carece muito de prestações estatais capazes de suprir as demandas sociais por habitação digna. Surge, então, a proposta de regularização fundiária, que seria utilizada como um instrumento político e jurídico, que seria capaz de regulamentar as moradias em situação de informalidade e irregulares.
Persistência do arco aórtico em felino: relato de caso
Authors: Silva Izabela Ferreira e , Rasteli Aline Felicio , Munhoz Thiago Demarchi
Published: July 2022

Megaesôfago é o termo que se refere à dilatação e à hipomotilidade esofágicas, resultante de distúrbio congênito, adquirido ou idiopático. E sua ocorrência em gatos é considerada rara quando comparada em cães, sendo gatos siameses e seus mestiços os mais acometidos. Quando encontrada em gatos, geralmente, estão as anomalias do anel vascular, corpos estranhos ou espasmo pilórico. O tipo mais comum de anomalia do anel vascular é a persistência do arco aórtico direito, que corresponde a aproximadamente 95% dos pacientes diagnosticados com a malformação. Outros tipos de anomalia de anel vascular que mais raramente podem ser encontradas incluem o arco aórtico duplo, arco aórtico esquerdo, as artérias subclávias esquerda e direita persistentes e a persistência do ducto arterioso direito.  A persistência do arco aórtico direito ocorre quando o arco aórtico embrionário direito, ao invés do esquerdo, torna-se a aorta funcional. Quando isso acontece, o esôfago fica constrito em um anel vascular composto pelo arco aórtico à direita, a artéria pulmonar e a base do coração ventralmente, e o ligamento arterioso dorsalmente e à esquerda. O esôfago é comprimido por esse anel vascular e começa a se dilatar cranialmente à medida que se acumula alimento. Os sinais clínicos são regurgitação, perda de peso progressiva, hiperexia, apetite depravado, desconforto e apatia após as refeições, desidratação e fraqueza. Sinais respiratórios podem estar presentes e associados a pneumonia por aspiração secundária ao megaesôfago.  O diagnostico se dá pelos sinais clínicos, juntamente com o exame radiográfico simples e contrastado da região cervicotorácica, onde é possível a visualização do esôfago dilatado. Não existe cura para essa enfermidade, sendo preconizado o tratamento conservativo baseado no manejo alimentar do paciente. Protocolos com sondagem nasogástrica e gástrica podem auxiliar a nutrição do animal por um tempo e facilitar a administração de medicamentos. Quando presentes complicações secundárias ao megaesôfago, deve ser implementada a terapia de suporte necessária, assim como causas primárias do megaesôfago adquirido devem ser tratadas quando possível. Todos os animais com megaesôfago correm risco de óbito devido à pneumonia por aspiração. Quando a causa subjacente puder ser tratada pode ocorrer a involução ou atenuação do megaesôfago. O prognóstico é variável, a depender da resposta de cada animal ao tratamento instituído. O presente artigo relata um caso de megaesôfago congênito em felino, atendido em um Hospital Veterinário Escola do interior do Estado de São Paulo, que apresentava como principal sinal clínico a regurgitação e veio a óbito por pneumonia aspirativa.

Development of City Parks is one of the targets of the Green City Action Plan in Indonesia to realize the strategy towards 30% Green Open Space. City Parks are also needed by the community for outdoor activities without paying. Its existence can improve the quality of life and the environment. Currently the City Park in Jakarta has not fulfilled this function optimally (less quality). This study aims to reveal the management of the implementation of the City Park development project in Jakarta and find out the root causes of the implementation failure. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, supported by observations and structured interviews. The study results show that the root cause is the unavailability of definitions and targets that refer to the application of sustainable principles in green planning and design; there is no clear regulation on the application of sustainable green open spaces and the lack of optimal involvement of stakeholders in green communities as attributes of the Green City Action Plan. It cause the pre-construction stage did not go well. City Park becomes ineligible. This is the basis for corrective measures for the successful management of the City Park development project.

Published: July 2022

A smart home security system or SmartHome is a new technology in this modern era with the concept of IoT (Internet of Thing), namely by utilizing internet connectivity by connecting a microcontroller device as a data processor for input and output with other components such as sensors that can communicate via smartphones. The PIR sensor and the MQ-2 smoke detector are one of the important components in a security system both at home and in buildings. Based on statistical data sources at the National Police Headquarters, crime in cases of theft is increasing and statistical data from https://www.jakartafire.net/statistics causes and occurrence of fires are still quite high. Based on the above problems, the author's motivation in making a home security system and fire preventive based IoT using microcontroller ATmega2560 Wi-Fi. This design prototype uses the ATmega2560 microcontroller component as input and output data processing, the HC-SR501 PIR sensor as a motion detection sensor, the MQ-2 sensor as a sensor in reading smoke levels with the addition of other components such as a buzzer as warning sign information and LED as an indicator sensor is active. Monitoring media used is the Blynk application on the smartphone in real time when the sensor detects motion and smoke. In this study, the smoke detection system is set to detect smoke with a threshold value of > 100 ppm. The PIR sensor coding and testing program works well and is already integrated with Blynk. In the second measurement, the sensor has an average voltage value on the MQ-2 sensor output on the 3.53 VDC sensor while the PIR sensor measurement when the sensor detects movement of the output voltage is 0 VDC and when the sensor status idle is 3.3 VDC.

Authors: Kanalebe Herman , Christianto Hans , Darian Pratama Austin
Published: July 2022

Communication failure in a mobile radio system occurred due to large and small scale fading as well as interference in the communication channel. Fading may cause the received signal to drop below the receiver sensitivity while the interference reduces the SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) level. In this study we analyze the outage probability of a communication link due to the impact of pathloss, fading and interference in the frequency range of 2300-2400 MHZ used in LTE TDD mobile communication system. Two propagation models and 4 interference scenarios are considered in this work. From our simulation result, in scenario 2 MS to MS interference, reducing 50% in guarband between interferer and interference victim from 10 MHz to 5 MHz will increase the outage probability from 78 to 82 %. While for the same condition, 50 m distance between the interferer and the interference victim, as the number of interferers increases from 1 to 2 interferers the outage probability will increase from 30 to 45 %.

Published: July 2022

Melinjo peel contains ascorbic acid, flavonoids, phenolics, lycopene, and β-carotene. The method of handling to reduce melinjo peel and preserve the active compounds is by powder encapsulation. Encapsulation is a way to protect the active compound and extend the shelf life of melinjo peel. The method used is spray drying, which can turn the liquid into a powder by heating with the help of a coating agent such as maltodextrin. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in concentration of maltodextrin (4, 6, 8%) and temperature of spray dry (135, 145, 155, 165°C) on the physical and chemical characteristics of encapsulated powder of red melinjo peel. Analysis of red melinjo peel powder had 1.69% moisture content, 5.96 mg GAE/g total phenolic, 0.53 mg QE/g total flavonoids, 31.36% solubility, 55.98 μm particle size, and antioxidant activity (IC50) 42.694 ppm. While the analysis of the selected encapsulates, which is encapsulates with a maltodextrin concentration of 8% and a spray dry temperature of 135°C had 0,09% moisture content, 1.0683 mg GAE/g total phenolic, 99.8050% encapsulation efficiency, 0.1777 mg QE/g total flavonoid, 92.3663% solubility, 212.93 μm particle size, and 121.389, 7132 ppm of antioxidant activity (IC50). The increase in maltodextrin concentration and spray dry temperature causes the encapsulation efficiency, solubility, and particle size of encapsulation to increase but cause the moisture content, total phenolic, and total flavonoid encapsulation to decrease.
Integration Of Face Recognition Model to a Biometric Security System
Authors: Wirahman Eggy , Junita
Published: July 2022

With the global COVID-19 pandemic at large, physical contact is supposed to be minimized. This raises the need for a non-invasive security system that could differentiate between individual human beings. Biometrics is the automatic recognition of an individual using certain distinguishing traits. It proves to be a solution for security systems in such times. However, computers cannot see objects as humans do, they see objects as binaries which requires further discoveries to build a system that is accurate enough to be implemented in a security system. Viola and Jones did research on such methods. They had found that computers are able to see patterns, but it requires a classifier which is a model to help computers understand certain features that makes a human face. Viola and Jones used what they call as the cascade classifiers with Haar features used by the computer to analyze an object and helps it determine whether the object is face or not. This research aims to create a multi-class classification (face or non-face and face in the database or not) facial recognition system with the help of machine learning to create a model which will implemented in the access systems. The OpenCV libraries are used in this research as there lots of facial recognition and processing functions which will render the research for designing machine learning based access systems easier. The research shows that the model formed has an accuracy of 74.8%, a precision of 74.02%, and a sensitivity of 100%.

Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 virus pandemic has changed people’s daily habits. It increases public awareness of health protocol, especially in public places. One of the most common methods to detect Covid-19 is to check the body temperature.  Currently, visitors are required to do a body check temperature with a thermometer gun or a thermal camera before they can enter public places. However, a thermometer gun measurement needs to be done close to the subject, therefore risking the operator from being exposed to the virus. On the other hand, a thermal camera can solve this problem, but it is quite expensive. This study aims to create an alternative for temperature measuring devices that can be connected to the wi-fi, therefore, allowing the temperature measuring devices to be used in large quantities while only monitored by one user. The product design process in this study used the quality function deployment (QFD) method. The House of Quality and parts deployment matrix were developed as the basis for making the concept. Several product concepts were made with the help of a morphological chart. The selected concept was then created and tested to ensure the product can be operated properly. After the product was tested and worked well, the product accuracy was then compared with the accuracy of a thermometer gun. The data from the test were processed with the paired t-test method using the minitab application. From the paired t-test it was found that there was no significant temperature difference between the temperature data gathered from the thermometer gun and from the product.

Major concern today with cement production is its environmental issues. For the sustainable development the usage of cement is reduced day by day in the construction sector. The alkali activated binders (AAB) are eco-friendly and they do not cause any environmental effects which can be used as one of the alternatives to cement. AAB is a hardened cementitious paste made of industrial pozzolanas such as Fly Ash and GGBS, and alkaline solutions like sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. Currently Fly Ash is the most commonly used AAB; but fly ash may become scarce because coal- fired power plants are declining due to the increasing popularity of renewable energy.

Rice straw ash (RSA) is an agricultural waste which has the pozzolanic characteristics and contains about 70%-80% of amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2) when burnt at 650c. Rice straw can be used as replacement of fly ash in Alkali Activated Mortar (AAM) by burning it at 650c and milling it for 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes. The specimens are casted for Rice Straw based AAM and compressive strength and water absorption are studied for 7.5, 10, 16 molarity of NaOH and also RSA milled for 10,20 and 30 minutes and SEM EDX is studied for the hardened specimen at 28 days. 

The RSA has significant positive effects on performance of AAM. The replacement of RSA by 20% has shown greater results and as the milling time of RSA is raised the surface area of RSA is increased which in turn resulted in improved strength and as the molarity of NaOH is increased the AAM at 3, 7, 28 and 56 days has the higher Compressive Strength and lower Water absorption.

Since early 2020, a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 is causing COVID-19 pandemic. This novel virus is very contagious as it spreads quickly, primarily via droplets during person-to-person contact. The gold standard method to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection is the reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay, but this technology is labor-intensive and time-consuming. An effective, point-of-care assay will be required to screen the general population for SARS-CoV-2 infection, hence RT-qPCR assay could be used mainly to confirm suspected cases with COVID-19. In this cross-sectional study, we described our experiences in using the antibody and antigen rapid test devices to screen for SARS-CoV-2 infection among staff and students at Universitas Pelita Harapan, respectively. Firstly, we found that the participating staff who worked regularly at the academic premises were not infected by SARS-CoV-2 during November and December 2020, suggested by seronegative results (0 out of 55). Secondly, we observed that among seropositive students who were living at the dormitory, the antigen rapid testing did not detect any positive subject (0 out 26), despite some among those exhibited the positive results when tested with RT-qPCR (8 out 26). The calculated sensitivity was 0%, while the specificity was 100%. Taken together, our findings indicated the weakness of using the antibody and antigen rapid test devices as a screening tool for SARS-CoV-2 infection among our cohorts.

UV-visible spectroscopy is an interpretive skill that amplitude the variety of different wavelengths of UV or visible light, which are captivated by or transferred via a pattern new assessment to an implication or blank constituent. This asset is encouraged by way of the pattern combination, doubtlessly subject to network on what is within the representative and at what attention. Because this spectroscopy execution confides on the control of mild. Therefore, illuminate can be described by its wavelength, which can be useful in UV-visible spectroscopy to analyse or identify different substances.

Colorimetry is the determination of colors, as name indicates. This method can use for to find out the concentration of compound (solute) in a colored solution in terms of chemical analysis (solvent). We frequently need to quantify the quantity of a specific component in a combination or the concentration of a solution during scientific activity. The trick is to determine the color differences between various combinations and their absolute values. This is more instructive and scientifically valuable than relying on subjective judgments like the color of the solution. Colorimetry is the measurement of colors, as the name implies.

Sarcoidosis is a benign systemic granulomatous pathology of unknown etiology. Mammary involvement is rare, less than 1% of all cases. That is the reason that makes necessary an optimal differential diagnosis to rule out malignant pathology as the main diagnosis. Imaging tests such as mammography, ultrasound, or MRI contribute to the diagnosis but are unable to establish a certain diagnosis. When a mammary sarcoidosis is suspected by fine needle aspiration cytology, exceptional procedures are necessary to confirm the disease and to exclude a coexisting carcinoma. Malignancy may develop in patients with sarcoidosis, sarcoidosis may develop in patients with breast cancer, the two diseases may develop in tandem, or breast cancer may cause a sarcoidosis-like granulomatous response. Other illnesses that should rule out are granulomatous diseases, which could be differentiated into infectious causes such as tuberculosis and primary inflammatory diseases such as idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. The silicone of gel breast implants may originate a sarcoidosis-like reaction as the result of an acceleration of an already existing hypersensitivity response, resulting in breast sarcoidosis. The management of sarcoidosis in the breast is usually enough with an excisional biopsy. The prognosis of mammary sarcoidosis in not unknown.

Chemical Fertilizer Medium on Tissue Culture of Strawberries
Authors: Neera Sumana
Published: July 2022

The strawberry is a nutrient-rich fruit with high concentrations of vitamins A, C, B1, B2, protein, calcium, potassium, copper, iron, and especially antioxidants. Strawberries are an extremely popular fruit because the antioxidants in them are much more than in tomatoes, up to 7 times. Strawberry propagation now requires a tissue culture-derived cultivar. Infection from the mother plant causes low yield due to diseases, and the chemicals utilized as bait in vitro are expensive. The purpose of this experiment was to find a replacement for the chemical fertilizer mix that was affecting the strawberry’s in vitro growth. The experiment was conducted with the strawberry cultivar Royal 80 and the 5 × 4 Factorial in CRD. Explants were cultivated in media containing five types of chemical fertilizer: 21-21-21 (N-P2O5-K2O), 15-30-15 (N-P2O5-K2O), 36-5-5 (N-P2O5-K2O), 15-30-15 (N-P2O5-K2O) and 10-52-17 (N-P2O5-K2O) at concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 g L−1, compared to MS medium, which provided control for each type of fertilizer. The plantlets were cultured in 0.5 g/l of 21-21-21 showed the highest number of plantlets was 4.30 plantlets/explant, which was better than MS medium (3.44 plantlets/explant), 15-30-15 and 36-5-5 media (3.48, 3.87 plantlets/explant, respectively).
Professionalism, Teamwork and Regulation in the Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Crowe Suzanne , McAllister Maeve
Published: July 2022

In this chapter, we discuss the concepts of professionalism in relation to intensive care medicine. The intensive care management of patients represents the sharp edge of every speciality and the potential for miscommunication, conflict, psychological overload and burnout is large. The presence of a culture of trust between patients and staff, and between staff members is a major factor in patient outcome, staff recruitment, staff retention and motivation. As critical care morbidity and mortality rates improve, patient and staff expectations of an acceptable short-term and long-term outcome increase. To reach these expectations, healthcare professionals need to operate in high performing teams, with defined standards and objectives. We focus on key aspects of good professional behaviour, high-performance healthcare teams and the regulatory aspects of care in the high technology, critical care environment.
