The purpose of this service is to train children's public speaking skills at LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur. public speaking is a necessity to prepare skills to compete in the era of Society 5.0. Therefore, public speaking skills need to be trained from an early age. Although public speaking is easy, when it is practiced it often creates fear and trembling when speaking. This can happen because of a lack of self-confidence, as happened to the children of LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur. Unlike children in general who have families, children in LKSA Mambaul Ulum tend to feel inferior and have low self-confidence, this makes it difficult for them to communicate. From this problem, it became a method of service with the implementation of workshops related to public speaking, and direct implementation through speech competitions and lectures which were participated by LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur children. This series of public speaking skills training events resulted in the children of the LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur Foundation better understanding good public speaking techniques. In addition, their confidence level increased by 44 percent compared to before the training. This increase can be seen from the results of the pretest and posttest that were distributed during the service.

Tujuan dari pengabdian ini untuk melatih keterampilan public speaking anak-anak di LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur. Keterampilan public speaking merupakan sebuah kebutuhan untuk mempersiapkan diri bersaing di Era Society 5.0. Oleh karena itu, kemampuan public speaking perlu dilatih sejak dini. Meskipun public speaking terlihat mudah, namun ketika dipraktikkan seringkali timbul rasa gugup dan gemetar ketika berbicara. Hal tersebut bisa terjadi karena kurangnya rasa percaya diri, seperti yang terjadi pada anak-anak LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur. Tidak seperti anak-anak pada umumnya yang memiliki keluarga, anak di LKSA Mambaul Ulum cendurung merasa minder dan memiliki rasa percaya diri yang kurang, hal tersebut menyebabkan mereka sulit untuk berkomunikasi. Dari permasalahan ini menjadi metode kegiatan pengabdian dengan dilaksanakannya workshop terkait public speaking, dan pengimplementasian secara langsung melalui lomba pidato dan ceramah yang diikuti oleh anak-anak LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur. Serangkaian acara pelatihan skill public speaking ini menghasilkan anak-anak Yayasan LKSA Mambaul Ulum Bantur lebih memahami teknik public speaking yang baik. Selain itu, tingkat kepercayaan diri mereka naik sebesar 44 persen dibanding sebelum diadakannya pelatihan. Peningkatan tersebut dapat dilihat dari hasil pretest dan posttest yang dibagikan saat kegiatan pengabdian berlangsung.

The location of settlements is one of the important aspects in the arrangement of a space. The proper arrangement of residential areas can increase the development of a space to be more structured and progressive. However, on the contrary, if the arrangement of residential areas is not planned properly, it can have a negative impact in the form of unstructured development. Spatial planning has an important role in maximizing the potential possessed by each region. One of the areas that has potential that deserves to be developed is Jombang Regency with qualified trade sector opportunities. So it is very important to conduct a land suitability study, especially in the context of research. This research was conducted through a quantitative descriptive method with primary sources obtained from satellite imagery data, which was then processed and analyzed using the help of the QGIS platform through overlay methods and secondary data in the form of previous research results or similar documents that have credibility. The results of the analysis in this study show that an area of 1.78 km2 or 19.2 percent of the area of Jombang Regency, is in a very inappropriate classification if used as a settlement. Meanwhile, as many as 27.84 percent or an area of 29.89 km2 are in the inappropriate category, and 70.38 percent of other areas or an area of 756.1 km2 are in the appropriate classification if used as residential areas.

Lokasi permukiman menjadi salah satu aspek penting di dalam penataan suatu ruang. Penataan kawasan permukiman yang tepat, dapat meningkatkan perkembangan suatu ruang menjadi lebih terstruktur dan progresif. Akan tetapi sebaliknya, jika penataan kawasan permukiman tidak direncanakan dengan tepat, maka dapat memberikan dampak negatif berupa perkembangan yang tidak terstruktur. Penataan ruang mempunyai peran penting guna mengembangkan potensi yang dimiliki setiap daerah di Indonesia. Salah satu daerah yang punya potensi yang layak dikembangkan adalah Kabupaten Jombang dengan peluang sektor perdagangan yang mumpuni. Sehingga sangat penting untuk dilakukan kajian kesesuaian lahan, terutama dalam konteks penelitian. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan metode deskriptif kuantitatif melalui penggunaan sumber data primer yang diperoleh dari data citra satelit, yang kemudian diolah dan dianalisis menggunakan bantuan platform QGIS melalui metode overlay dan data sekunder berupa hasil penelitian terdahulu atau dokumen sejenis yang memiliki kredibilitas. Hasil analisis pada penelitian ini menunjukan jika area seluas 1,78 km2 atau sebesar 19,2 persen dari luas wilayah Kabupaten Jombang, berada pada klasifikasi sangat tidak sesuai jika digunakan sebagai permukiman. Sedangkan sebanyak 27,84 persen dari total area atau seluas 29,89 km2 berada pada tingkatan kurang sesuai, dan 70,38 persen area lainnya dengan luas sebesar 756,1 km2 berada pada tingkatan yang sesuai jika digunakan sebagai kawasan permukiman.

Authors: Shivananjappa Mahesh , Kavya M R , Manasa R
Published: May 2023

Kodo millet () belongs to the family Poaceae. Mathri is a Rajasthani snack, a kind of flaky biscuit and also called as mathiya or mathari. A snack food refers to sweet, spicy or salty, ready to eat foods and generally include items such as chips/crisps. It is ready to eat snack generally made by wheat flour, ajwain, salt, refined oil and water.

In this study Kodo millet Mathri was prepared by using Kodo millet flour with the partial replacement of wheat flour. Six formulations K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 and K6 containing different composition of Kodo millet flour [0%,20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%] was developed.

These formulations were analyzed for sensory attributes (n=20) by semi-trained panelists. Proximate analysis was carried out using standard A.O.A.C. methods.

The sensory score was highest for K3 (40%) and its overall acceptability was good. Mathri prepared with K3 (40%) Kodo millet flour was rich in fiber and minerals like, calcium, and phosphorus content on par with the control.

When compared to control, the selected Kodo millet Mathri was superior nutritionally and being gluten free makes it delicacy to be enjoyed by the people who are gluten intolerant.
PELP1 and SRC kinase as important molecules in the estrogen-mediated pathway in human testis and epididymis
Authors: Skibińska Izabela , Andrusiewicz Mirosław , Jendraszak Magdalena , Żbikowska Aleksandra , Żaba Czesław , Kotwicka Małgorzata
Published: May 2023

Background: Estrogens have pleiotropic mechanisms of action, and their cellular transduction pathways can modulate various proteins with differential tissue expression. Proline-, glutamic acid-, and leucine-rich protein 1 (PELP1) is one such protein whose role seems important, although little is known about this protein. However, very little is known about the expression of modulators involved in the estrogen-mediated pathways in the tissues of the male reproductive tract. Methods: In this study, we obtained autopsy specimens of testis and epididymis from 13 men of Caucasian descent. Expression levels were analyzed for both estrogen receptors (ESR1 and ESR2) and their co-regulators, including PELP1 and kinase c-Src (SRC). Results: Protein expression was confirmed with western blot and immunocytochemistry techniques. The expression of both SRC and PELP1 was significantly higher in the testis compared to the epididymis (p=0.040 and p=0.002, respectively). Furthermore, a significant, positive correlation was observed between SRC and PELP1, regardless of tissue type p<0.0001, R=0.78). In the testis, PELP1 expression positively correlated with ESR1 expression
(p=0.367, R=0.6).
Conclusions: Our study suggests a possible relationship between PELP1, SRC, and ESR1 in the human testis and epididymis. This study makes a valuable contribution to the field of estrogen-mediated pathways in the male reproductive tract and describes trends of analyzed genes’ expression and presence. We think our results may open some new research directions of the estrogen signaling in the male reproductive system.
Case report on an outbreak of theileriosis in a dairy herd: Could it be a co-infection of a virulent strain of Theileria mutans with Theileria parva?
Authors: Tarusikirwa Dey Freeman , Ndhlovu Daud Nyosi , Hove Thokozani
Published: May 2023

This case report aimed to alert veterinarians of the possibility of simultaneous infections with more than one Theileria species in cattle herds in Zimbabwe. Cows (N=7) and a postmortem specimen from a dairy farm located in Chivhu, Mashonaland East province, Zimbabwe were presented for clinical and postmortem examination, respectively. On history taking, the herd had a decrease in milk yield and high cow mortalities. The presented live animals had a heavy tick burden and were febrile and lethargic. Post-mortem findings revealed strong evidence suggestive of theileriosis. Theileria schizonts and piroplasms were identified in stained lymph node aspirate, impression, and blood smears. The herd was managed using tetracyclines and buparvaquone together with an intensive dipping protocol until deaths had stopped. Both the clinical and postmortem findings were strongly suggestive of the possibility of a simultaneous infection with more than one Theileria species in this herd. Thus, these finding highlight the need to characterise the Theileria species profile in Zimbabwe.
A new hypothesis may explain human parthenogenesis and ovarian teratoma: A review study
Authors: Awad Hegazy Abdelmonem , Ibraheem Al-Qtaitat Aiman , Awad Hegazy Raafat
Published: May 2023

Parthenogenesis (PG) is a rare phenomenon occurring in humans, and understanding this may help us develop an explanation for such occurrences. Moreover, it may help reveal the cause of idiopathic ovarian teratoma (OT). To explain the occurrence of PG and OT in humans based on a new hypothesis. Previous literature has been searched through relevant scientific websites and international journals on the causes and mechanisms of PG and OT in humans. The previous literature on human PG was sparse and mostly contained case reports. It appears that human PG is not as rare as previously reported but may occur spontaneously, resulting in OT formation. The difference between PG and sexual reproduction is that PG has no embryonic diversity. The biopsied embryonic samples in the PG correspond exclusively to those of the maternal side. Spontaneous PG in humans often degrades or leads to formation of OT. The cause and mechanism of spontaneous PG remain unclear in the available literature. Here, we hypothesized that in some cases the secondary oocyte and first polar body enclosed in the zona pellucida may fuse together to form a single cell that restores the diploid number of chromosomes and initiates cell division to form PG. PG is not so rare as previously thought. It may go unnoticed or be represented by the OT. Future studies are recommended to investigate this hypothesis.

Negative effect of varicocele on sperm mitochondrial dysfunction: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Elahi Mahshid , Hojati Vida , Hashemitabar Mahmoud , Afrough Mahsa , Mohammadpour Kargar Hossain , Dastoorpoor Maryam
Published: May 2023

Background: Varicocele is an abnormal dilation and enlargement of the scrotal venous pampiniform plexus that impairs normal blood drainage and finally leads to infertility if not treated.
Objective: This study aimed to figure out the impact of mitochondria status through the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assessment and its correlation with semen parameters to illuminate the impact of sperm mitochondria healthiness on normal sperm functionality.
Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 men including 50 cases in the normozoospermic group (normal) and 50 in an infertile group with the non-varicocelectomy operation (varicocele) referring to Infertility Research and Treatment Center, ACECR Khuzestan, Iran. Routine semen analysis was performed according to World Health Organization guidelines, DNA fragmentation index, the MMP assay, ATP content, and apoptosis were carried out for all samples.
Results: The results showed that the concentration, progressive motility, normal morphology, MMP, and ATP contents of sperm in varicocele were significantly lower than the normal group. In addition, the sperm DNA fragmentation index was significantly higher in the varicocele group in comparison with the normal group.
Conclusion: Reduction in MMP and ATP contents, besides the loss of sperm parameters quality and increase in sperm DNA fragmentation, were seriously implicating sperm mitochondria dysfunctionality in varicocele men.

Published: May 2023

Macapá, capital do Estado do Amapá, tem crescido muito nos últimos 20 anos (321,4%), crescimento este que se deve ao fato de constituir um ponto de grande atração para os habitantes dos estados vizinhos, em busca de melhores condições de vida, após a estadualização do Amapá, pela  Constituição Federal de 1988, e pelos diversos investimentos realizados neste território pela União e pelo capital nacional e estrangeiro. Estas procuras pelo urbano colocam numerosos desafios às entidades públicas, sobretudo o da gestão de um território complexo, onde as infraestruturas urbanas não acompanham o crescimento. As autoridades mostram-se incapazes de responder a estas demandas, gerando disfunções territoriais e desafios que podem não ser cabalmente percebidos. Com este artigo pretende-se refletir sobre as transformações urbanas recentes e perceber quais são os desafios que Macapá enfrentará no futuro próximo.

Através de análises quanti-qualitativa das informações levantadas, constatou-se que na cidade de Cametá não é realizada coleta seletiva e nenhum tratamento dos resíduos eletroeletrônicos, e a maioria é destinada junto ao lixo comum, depositados no lixão municipal, sobretudo aqueles vindos das oficinas – onde gera a maior parte desses resíduos da cidade. Nesta pesquisa ainda, identificou-se a presença de resíduos eletroeletrônicos expostos e reagindo com o meio ambiente, principalmente no Porto da Feira Livre Municipal e no lixão. A situação encontrada pode ser associada à falta da existência de políticas de gestão de resíduos perigosos no município, do não envolvimento da cadeia produtiva e comercial dos aparelhos eletroeletrônicos para arrecadá-los no final do ciclo de vida, junto com a falta de informação e despreocupação dos consumidores quanto ao descarte e aos riscos socioambientais. Desta forma, aponta-se a necessidade da iniciativa das esferas públicas para elaborar e executar política integrada que envolva todos os atores do ciclo de vida dos produtos eletrônicos e a sociedade civil no incentivo a prática de coleta e na execução de alternativas de tratamento que impeça o despejo e o risco socioambiental, sendo indispensável a inserção da Educação Ambiental nesse processo para que valores, comportamentos sociais e consciência de formas de consumo sejam incorporados visando diminuir os resíduos eletrônicos.

A pecuária bovina apresentou rápido e exponencial crescimento em diversas regiões da Amazônia Oriental brasileira nas últimas décadas, sendo marcada pelo aumento quantitativo dos rebanhos e de áreas de pastagens, notadamente em algum estágio de degradação. O objetivo desse trabalho foi caracterizar a condição socioeconômica de 61 famílias de pecuaristas de São Félix do Xingu, Sul do Pará, e, comparar as práticas de manejo das pastagens que são adotadas nas distintas categorias. Constatou-se grandes diferenças nas condições socioeconômicas e estruturais, havendo, no entanto, um padrão na forma de ocupar os espaços com o predomínio de pastagens cultivadas, e uma transversalidade nas práticas de manejo adotadas. Está havendo um processo de intensificação das práticas de manejo, pela reforma das pastagens e controle da taxa de lotação animal, independente da categoria socioeconômica. Diferentemente do que aconteceu nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, este estudo mostra uma tendência dos pecuaristas de se manterem na terra.
Using Digital Video Analysis to Develop Elementary Education Majors’ Noticing Skills in Elementary Physical Education

Published: May 2023

Preparing future teachers is a complex endeavor, yet there are tools that help prepare preservice teachers (PST). One tool is digital video (DV). DV provides opportunities for PST to see and hear themselves teach and make the needed corrections in their lessons and activities. This study examined the accounts of elementary education majors’ experiences with DV self-analysis and how these related to noticing skills in their teaching elementary physical education lessons. The PST benefited from noticing themselves teach and that DV is an appropriate tool in the preparation of PST.
Justification of a Deficit Mentality in a Division I Intercollegiate Athletic Department
Authors: Powers Shannon M. , Judge Lawrence W. , Razon Selen
Published: May 2023

In the competitive context of Division I (DI) intercollegiate sport, an unwillingness to undertake change can often reflect the attitudes of complacency on the part of stakeholders, that their institution is doing an adequate job in providing the optimal experience for its student-athletes, or resignation, that they can do no more to increase success. This paper examines New State University’s, a pseudonym for a DI Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), organizational deficit thinking. It demonstrates prevalent deficit thinking in intercollegiate athletics and offers suggestions to reframe such thinking. Schroeder’s (2010) case study cultural framework was used and the interaction of four collegiate environments examined. These were institutional culture, leadership and power, internal athletic department, and external athletic department. Data collection and triangulation analysis included 36 interviews, researcher observations, photos, archival data, and social media. The complexity of assumptions, traditions, deeply held beliefs, and values suggests a proud sense of identity projected to the outside world that, nevertheless, prevents the internal athletic department’s ability to address perennial deficit thinking. In this case, the nexus justifying deficit thinking centered on geographical location of the university. Specifically, location was blamed for team losses, inability to retain quality coaches, and a negative culture of fandom. On a larger scale, deficit thinking may be prevalent in many DI universities attempting to compete with the few programs with perennial championships across sports.
The “Search for Meaning” in Therapeutic Recreation
Authors: Hernesniemi Miika , Caspar Sienna , Dieser Rodney B.
Published: May 2023

Therapeutic Recreation (TR) has been likened to an existential therapy because it facilitates meaningful outcomes for participants. Logotherapy and Existential Analysis (LTEA) has previously been proposed as a suitable existential approach for TR. However, this proposition has not been examined extensively in TR; consequently, LTEA has not been adopted widely as an in-depth approach to practice. Deductive content analysis (DCA) is a research method that has been recommended for testing a theoretical structure in a new context. A DCA of four of the most recent introductory textbooks in TR was conducted to test the theoretical structure of LTEA within the TR context. Content in the textbooks that related to the theoretical structure—the sources of meaning in life—was extracted and formed into categories and overarching TR concepts. Based on these findings, LTEA aligns with TR and could be a suitable approach to TR practice with the potential of enhancing its therapeutic aims. Recommendations for practice and further research are proposed as a result of this study.

Edukacja dzieci z niepełnosprawnością w czasie pandemii COVID-19 w szkole wiejskiej – w doświadczeniu pedagoga szkolnego
Authors: Śliwowski Tomasz
Published: May 2023

W artykule zaprezentowano zagadnienia związane z edukacją zdalną uczniów z niepełnosprawnościami w czasie pandemii COVID-19. Dotyczy doboru odpowiednich form kształcenia w przypadku dzieci w szkole podstawowej na wsi w powiecie białostockim (województwo podlaskie). Opisane zostały dobrane metody i formy kształcenia na odległość na podstawie zmieniających się przepisów prawa oświatowego w latach 2019–2022. Analiza indywidualnych przypadków dzieci z niepełnosprawnościami uczęszczających do jednej szkoły w gminie wiejskiej pokazuje wielorakość możliwości doboru metod i form pomimo pandemii. Wskazuje na potrzebę analiz możliwości i trudności poszczególnych dzieci uczących się w placówce w przygotowaniu efektywnej formy kształcenia dla tych dzieci. Opisano kształcenie dzieci z niepełnosprawnościami na podstawie doświadczeń pedagoga szkolnego.
Czy Uniwersytety Trzeciego Wieku mogą być szansą na włączenie społeczne seniorów z niepełnosprawnościami?
Authors: Wojtyńska Joanna
Published: May 2023

Szacuje się, że połowa osób z niepełnosprawnościami w Polsce to osoby powyżej 60 roku życia. Zarówno osoby niepełnosprawne, jak i seniorzy, to grupy zagrożone wykluczeniem społecznym, w tym cyfrowym i informacyjnym. Jednym ze sposobów zapobiegania wykluczeniu jest zapewnianie dostępu do informacji i edukacji. Dostępność edukacji dla starszych osób z niepełnosprawnościami jest w dużej mierze uzależniona od świadomości i dobrej woli organizatorów form kształcenia przeznaczonych dla seniorów, w szczególności Uniwersytetów Trzeciego Wieku. Znaczące zmiany w tym zakresie mogłyby wnieść przyjęte w 2019 r. ustawy: o dostępności cyfrowej stron internetowych i aplikacji mobilnych podmiotów publicznych oraz o zapewnianiu dostępności osobom ze szczególnymi potrzebami. Pandemia COVID-19, związany z nią lockdown i zmiana formuły zajęć ze stacjonarnych na zdalne, teoretycznie mogła być szansą dla osób, które z różnych przyczyn nie miały możliwości dojeżdżać na zajęcia UTW. W artykule omówione zostały wyniki przeglądu stron internetowych UTW i analizy ich treści pod kątem formy oferowanych zajęć w trakcie i po lockdownie oraz obecności deklaracji dostępności i raportu o stanie zapewnienia dostępności, zestawione z wynikami badania przeprowadzonego na początku 2020 r., które miało odpowiedzieć na pytanie: czy i jakie oferty kierowane są do osób z niepełnosprawnościami.
Pułapki (nie)dostępności – muzeum w dobie nowoczesnych technologii. Na przykładzie Muzeum Narodowego w Krakowie

Muzeum pełni ważną rolę edukacyjną, dostarczając wiedzy i informacji w trakcie zwiedzania kolekcji muzealnych. Stanowi również przestrzeń dla spotkań ludzi, którzy mając podobne zainteresowania przyczyniają się do budowania sieci społecznych i kapitału kulturowego. Dziś muzeum, jak każda instytucja, stanęła wobec nowych wyzwań w obliczu pojawienia się nowoczesnych technologii, które z jednej strony otwierają się na osoby z różnymi rodzajami niepełnosprawności, a z drugiej stanowią nowy powód wykluczenia tych, dla których te technologie nie są dostępne. Przepisy prawa narzuciły podmiotom publicznym konieczność dostosowania rozwiązań cyfrowych do standardów dostępności dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami. To sprawia, że dziś w ofercie muzealnej coraz częściej możemy zobaczyć wirtualne kolekcje i/lub inne nowoczesne rozwiązania opracowane na podstawie współczesnych technologii, ułatwiające zwiedzanie. Nasz artykuł pokazuje, jak osoby z niepełnosprawnościami oceniają rozwiązania wprowadzone w Muzeum Książąt Czartoryskich w Krakowie, ułatwiające dostępność kolekcji. Przeprowadzone wywiady pozwoliły ocenić, jakie działania ze strony muzeum są najbardziej cenione przez badane osoby z niepełnosprawnościami, skąd czerpią wiedzę na temat kolekcji oraz jaki potencjał widzą w nowych technologiach.
