ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ АНАЛИТИЧЕСКИХ ПОДХОДОВ ДЛЯ ОЦЕНКИ ВЛИЯНИЯ ЛИПИДОВ НА ВРЕМЯ ПЕРЕВАРИВАНИЯ БЕЛКОВ И УГЛЕВОДОВ ПИЩИ
Authors: Матвеев Юрий Игнатьевич , Аверьянова Елена Витальевна
Published: October 2023

В связи с тем, что основные процессы пищеварения – протеолиз молекул белков и гидролиз углеводов под действием ферментов протекают в условиях присутствия других компонентов пищи (липидов, минеральных добавок и др.), некоторые из которых существенно влияют на время переваривания в статье рассмотрено действие одного из таких факторов – влияние липидов на время переваривания белков и углеводов. Аналитическое описание таких процессов представляет существенный интерес, например, при разработке диет, позволяя оптимизировать работу желудочно-кишечного тракта и принести максимальную пользу организму человека при усвоении определенного набора пищевых веществ. Поэтому проблема управления продолжительностью переваривания пищи в желудочно-кишечном тракте в зависимости от ее состава и соотношения компонентов приобретает все более актуальное значение. Материалом исследования послужили аналитические данные по содержанию белков, жиров и углеводов в основных группах продуктов питания и их времени переваривания в желудочно-кишечном тракте, а также данные о механизме влияния липидов на скорость гидролиза белков и углеводов. Показано, что повышенное содержание жиров приводит к резкому росту времени переваривания белка, содержащегося в продукте, и к соответствующим последствиям, связанным с их метаболизмом в организме человека. В то время как для углеводов, содержащихся в растительной пище, влияние липидов на их время переваривания менее выражено и его увеличение несущественно. На основании оптимума по содержанию жира, который приходится на крупы, предложено условно разделить продукты питания на две категории по времени усвоения круп в желудочно-кишечном тракте. Предлагаемый подход показывает, что жиры оказывают существенное влияние на процесс переваривания макронутриентов и учет их содержания в соответствующих пищевых продуктах может быть использован как один из критериев при разработке диет для разных групп населения с учетом возраста, физической нагрузки и других факторов, а так же при реализации различных пищевых технологий.
Nanoporous Materials as Carriers of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour: a New Bio-Decontamination Technology

Published: October 2023

High-level bio-decontamination, which involves reducing microorganisms by 99.9999%, is essential in preventing Hospital Acquired Infections and controlling pandemics. This study demonstrates that nanoporous materials, which can retain molecules within their pores, and subsequently release them, can be used in high level bio-decontamination. H2O2 vapor is a golden-standard in high level bio-decontamination. This work demonstrates that various nanoporous materials, particularly mesoporous silicas, can be utilized to store and release H2O2 in the vapor phase. H2O2 concentrations of over 2500 ppm were achieved by desorbing it from the carrier material at low temperatures of 60-80 °C. Generation of H2O2-vapor by desorption from nanoporous materials is technically much simpler than vaporization of aqueous H2O2 solutions, which use flash vaporization processes occurring at 130-150 °C. This has important technical implications, highlighting the potential of nanoporous materials as carriers for H2O2 for high-level bio-decontamination.

Published: October 2023

Calcium (Ca2+) is a well-known second messenger in all cells, and is especially relevant for neuronal activity. Neuronal Ca2+is found in different forms, with a minority being freely soluble in the cell and more than 99% being bound to proteins. Free Ca2+has received much attention over the last few decades, but protein-bound Ca2+has been difficult to analyze. Here, we introduce correlative fluorescence and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging as a tool to describe bound Ca2+. As expected, bound Ca2+is ubiquitous. It does not correlate to free Ca2+dynamics at the whole-neuron level, but does correlate significantly to the intensity of markers for GABAergic pre-synapse and glutamatergic post-synapses. In contrast, a negative correlation to pre-synaptic activity was observed, with lower levels of bound Ca2+observed in the more active synapses. We conclude that bound Ca2+may regulate neuronal activity and should receive more attention in the future.
K–12 Schools in Ohio Are Separate and Unequal

Published: October 2023

Schools are one of the main determinants of lifetime employment and wages. In the 1950s and 60s, many Black leaders were concerned that Supreme Court rulings outlawing the racial segregation of schools might not effectively eliminate school segregation. This Economic Commentary uses data from Ohio to show that, even today, Black and white students attend largely separate K–12 schools that provide unequal educational opportunity.
SCIENCE-POLICY INTERFACE IN REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: CASE OF HELCOM IN THE BALTIC CONTEXT
Authors: Tsenddorj Uyanga , Doljin Buyandelger
Published: October 2023

The regional environmental cooperation in the Baltic Sea is the leading and “forerunner” model for managing environmental challenges at the regional level. The Baltic case is very often emphasized from the perspective of the successful implementation of non-binding recommendations toward marine environment management and the political will of contracting countries toward regional environmental cooperation. Despite four decades efforts, the Baltic region is a peculiar and unique case where long-term human-induced pressures and its fragile ecosystem cause even more challenges for regional states. In this study, we investigated the Baltic case from the perspective of the science-policy interface and used data from HELCOM (Helsinki Commission) Stakeholders Conferences organized from 2006 to 2022. The science-policy is regarded as the key processes in environmental protection and management. We conducted the qualitative research based on the document review tracing down interactions and activities of major stakeholders. We found that the Baltic case has led a long-term traditional science-policy processes where there has been a strong presence of scientific community aiming at providing the best available scientific knowledge for marine environment protection and management, and developing the database for decision-making. The Baltic regional cooperation has recently progressed towards involving citizen science, deliberation, and participatory approaches. The stakeholders agreed that to implement the ambitious BSAP into practice and concrete actions, the further development of civil councils, public participation, and multi-sectoral involvement is crucial for robust knowledge production in regional environmental management. From the institutional perspective, the working groups within the HELCOM can facilitate the mediation of scientific communities and societal actors. These groups can serve as boundary organizations in the science-policy interface.

Published: October 2023

The focus of this review paper is on the assessment of English Language Learners (ELLs) and the ways in which the language gap negatively influences ELLs in classroom assessments. The research body provides an outline of differentiated instruction and assessment highlighting the primary obstacles that hinder ELLs from achieving success in various classroom assessments. It explains the importance of addressing the language gap due to its wide-reaching impact. Additionally, it underscores the significance of differentiating instruction and scaffolding assessment to accommodate language, culture, and previous educational experience. This consideration is especially crucial as assessment results may be biased or inaccurate if these factors are not taken into account. Finally, the paper discusses several strategies that teachers can implement to enhance their instruction and assessment methods.

Performance profiles of teams performance highlight areas of weaknesses and strengths for coaches to inform their decision-making on how to spend their limited training time with athletes. This study used a stepwise discriminative analysis approach comparing one successful team’s (TEAM) performances through five consecutive seasons against a) other top four teams (TOP4) and b) teams with a final rank between 5th and eight (LOW) in a semi-professional league. The predictive model created was used to set forth a performance profile for the selected team. A total of 95 matches of the TEAM’s matches from the last five seasons are in the analysis. The objective was to create a performance profile with relevant performance indicators selected based on the discriminant analysis results of the selected TEAM and discuss its practical applicability. For matches against other TOP4 teams, the predictive model created consisted of three variables; legal stops, blocked shots and 9 m shots, classifying 72.6% correctly. The LOW ranked teams model had six variables and correctly classified 94.4% of cases (assists, blocked shots, legal stops, the goalkeeper saved shots, 2-minute exclusion, and shot efficiency). The selected variables are presented in Table 4, with medians and a 95% confidence interval of the median as a team performance profile. The profile provides the coaches with two models containing values that can serve as a reference for this team’s performance. The profile of this TEAM’s performances during the last five seasons generally aligns with the variables associated with success in other studies in female handball.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acute caffeine administration on pituitary-testicular hormonal (prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and total testosterone (TT)) responses and muscle damage biomarkers (creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB, myoglobin, and troponin) following muscular endurance test. In addition, total repetitions to failure were determined. Eleven well resistance-trained males (29.11±3.21 years) performed two consecutive trials (7 days apart). Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover design, participants administered either 5 mg/kg of caffeine or a placebo 1 hour prior to the test. The test consisted of 3 sets × repetitions to failure at 70% of 1-RM, with 90 s recovery interval, in each bench press, biceps curl, shoulder press, leg press, back squat, and leg extension. Repetitions were counted in each set in each exercise. Blood samples were collected 1 h after the end of each trial from each participant to measure the aforementioned study parameters. Results indicated that caffeine had positively effect on FSH (p=.046) and TT (p=.049) but had negatively effect on CK (p=.012) compared to the placebo. However, no significant (p˃0.05) differences were found in PRL, LH, CK-MB, myoglobin, and troponin between trials. Total repetitions to failure were significantly (p=.013) greater in caffeine trial (334.38±9.70) than in the placebo (309.07±9.43). In conclusion: 5 mg/kg of caffeine administered 1 h prior to muscular endurance test performed by multiple resistance exercises had beneficial effect on FSH and TT probably due to affecting androgen receptors. However, the values of biomarkers of muscle damage were similar in both trials. Hence, male strength athletes may consider using this dose pre-training as an effective ergogenic aid during muscle endurance training.

Notation analysis is basically the gathering and analyzing of information that has been gained from observing performance in a competitive situation. The aim of this paper was to determine and explain the results and differences in technical and tactical efficiency in men’s water polo between winning and defeated teams. The sample of the entities included 31 matches from the men’s tournament held at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021. The sample of variables covered 18 defense and attack parameters of efficiency. Using a t-test for independent samples led to a result that the winning and losing teams differed significantly in four variables. Significant differences of winning teams in the realization with an equal number of players was probably stemmed from having better skills in achieving optimal conditions in preparation and performance. The reasons for the superiority of the winning teams in the part of defensive actions can probably be found in better and more coordinated actions of all defensive players in exclusions, blocking the ball and goalkeeper shot saves. These findings encourage coaches to improve players’ skills by providing optimal conditions for the part of the technical-tactical solutions in defense and attack.

Motor skills can be improved through rapid on-the-job training or slower multi-session learning. The objective of this study was to determine the rapid learning differences between male and female university students during the execution of two motor coordination tests. Available data from 716 female and 331 male college students were retrospectively analyzed. The female participants had a mean age (±SD) of 19.6 (±1.55) years, while the male participants recorded a mean age of 19.8 (±1.87) years. Data were collected using two motor coordination tests, each performed in triplicate. The statistical method used in this analysis was mixed-model ANOVA. The interaction effect of gender and number of attempts was statistically significant for both motor coordination tests (F=12.446; p<0.01; η2p=0.13 & F=11.169; p<0.01; η2p=0.01). Post-hoc testing showed that males performed better at the tasks in all three runs, and both genders improved their performance in subsequent trials. However, females showed a larger relative improvement from trial to trial than did males. The two coordination tests yield similar results. The observed differences in improvements in the coordination tests may be attributed to different motor learning strategies and cognitive processing between the sexes.

Student-centred pedagogy is based on constructivist and democratic principles where students are encouraged to develop their reflective and critical thinking and sense of responsibility. The objectives of this study was to: (1) determine which of the three student-centred teaching methods (individual, couple or team) will best influence students in learning dances; (2) analyse the impact of motivational climate on different student-centred teaching methods during the learning of the dances among female and male students. The learning of dance structures from the Adriatic dance zone has been analysed because of its applicability to the Physical Education curricula. The pool of subjects consisted of 30 female and 28 male kinesiology students (aged 21–24), divided into three groups according to their preferred learning methods: individual, couple and team. Three experts evaluated the performance of dancers according to the criteria determined beforehand, in detail. For the assessment of motivational climate in Physical Education, Motivational Climate on Physical Education Scale (MCPES) scale was used with subscales: Autonomy, Social relatedness, Task involving climate and Ego involving climate. According to a two-way ANOVA with the independent variables of gender and teaching methods, and Tukey post-hoc test, the most successful students preferred the couple method in learning linđo, and individual method in learning quatro passi. Significant differences were found in Task climate subscale between the couple and team-teaching method. Further investigation of teaching methods in PE classes is needed to confirm optional student-centred method defined by gender, age, and the type of motor skills.

While the Biodex Balance System (BBS) proved to be a reliable apparatus for testing balance, there is lacking evidence on the number of familiarization trials the subject must undergo before being tested, especially when lower stability levels are used on the BBS. The goal of this study was to determine after how many attempts the result of the balance test on the BBS stabilize. The sample consisted of 66 boys (13.42±0.50 years old) and 57 girls (13.39±0.49 years old) not active in sports. The subjects underwent the Postural Stability Test three times and the Overall Stability Index variable of the BBS was examined. In the analysis the results were separately examined for boys and girls using the t-test. Significant differences were found in all three measurements for boys while for girls there was no significant difference between the second and third measurement. The results of this study indicate that, for boys of this age, the results did not stabilize through the three trials conducted which could mean a need for more than three attempts so the negative effects of familiarization could be avoided. For girls it seems that the result stabilized at the second trial which could indicate that only one trial is needed for them to familiarize themselves with the test. These findings can be important for future studies with a similar female sample to save time and conduct just one test trial before the actual testing, since testing balance on the BBS requires a significant amount of time.

This review aims to understand how the body and the brain interact with different brain computer interfaces (BCI) and to analyze the implications of these tools on embodied learning in the educational field. Through a theoretical approach a review of the literature is developed by studying the relationship between the body, the brain and BCI. To conduct this research, the keywords “embodied learning”, “cognition”, “digital learning”, “body”, “brain-computer interface” were used in Pubmed, Frontiers, Google Scholar and Researchgate. There are multiple concepts related to digitization and they can vary from owning digital tools such as computers, phones, virtual reality devices to even using interventional BCI. BCI are being reported safe and are capable of reversing physical and cognitive disabilities. The impact of these tools is variable according to their nature, the environmental factors linked to their use, and the condition of the brain and body while using them. With the massive development of technology nowadays many interrogations are coming into surface about the relationship between the human and the machine, and at what level the digital world will be able to interfere with our lives and integrate our bodies.

Recent neuroscientific research highlighted interesting interactions between superior cognitive functions and the sensorimotor system. Overcoming the traditional views of the philosophy of mind and cognitive sciences, current empirical evidence shows that bodily states are the basis of information processing and that incarnation contributes to various aspects of mental phenomena. Starting from this theoretical framework, the purpose of this contribution is to outline, through exposure to the most significant discoveries in the world of neuroscience, the importance of Embodied Cognition as an emerging vision that considers the cognitive processes deeply rooted in the interaction of the body with the world. After careful selection and analysis of studies on neuroscience applied to teaching, the study focused on those who experienced in the school context embodied-teaching approaches aiming to promote transversal learning through movement and corporeality in action and interaction. The analysis highlights the strengths and critical points of the studies implemented in recent decades that focus on the integration and transversality of the body in learning. This is to understand whether embodied learning environments involving all spheres of personality can foster perception, knowledge, and conscious action in teaching and learning processes. An important result from the overview is the potential of theory in different educational environments and disciplines. The contemporary theoretical framework highlights the great potential of corporeality and physical education as actors in learning, but at the same time place in the foreground the need to experiment and disseminate new teaching approaches and perspectives.
Representación de la vejez en el cine español: un estudio de personajes mayores de 65 años en películas contemporáneas
Authors: Martín García Teresa , Ramos María Marcos , González de Garay Beatriz
Published: October 2023

Una queja común por parte de los actores de mayor edad es que apenas hay papeles para ellos en el cine. Esta afirmación, que parte de una subjetividad, merece ser analizada con datos que la apoyen o no. La presente investigación analiza 30 películas españolas estrenadas en 2018 y 2019 y mediante el análisis de contenido se analizan un total de 468 personajes. Mediante el uso de estadística descriptiva, y tras realizar diversos análisis, se concluye que la representación de personajes mayores de 65 años es escasa y no representativa de la sociedad española y en la que hay, en contra de la representación demográfica, hay una mayor presencia de ancianos hombres que de mujeres. Además, estos personajes suelen tener papeles secundarios o de tipo background, sin apenas peso narrativo. Habría que destacar que frente a otras investigaciones que asociaban la representación de la ancianidad con temas como salud o enfermedad, se observa una tendencia a la representación más acorde con las que puede tener cualquier persona de la sociedad. El análisis se ha completado con un estudio en profundidad de los personajes ancianos protagonistas para poder profundizar en ellos.

The aim of our study was to determine the factors responsible for COVID-19 vaccination acceptance and hesitancy in patients with drug allergies. We prepared a survey to understand the thoughts, hesitancies and experiences about COVID-19 vaccination and COVID-19 infection in patients with drug allergies and statistically examined the results. A survey study was applied to 76 patients who were admitted to Ankara University Internal Medicine Allergy and Immunology Department with drug allergies. 38 patients who were vaccinated and 38 patients who weren’t were compared. Among the 38 patients who were vaccinated, 34 (89.5%) chose Biontech vaccine, 4 (10.5%) chose Sinovac vaccine. Among the patients who weren’t vaccinated, 28 (73.7%) explained they weren’t vaccinatedbecause of drug allergies. Educational statuses were statistically significantly different (p=0.026) among vaccinated and non-vaccinated patients, lower in vaccinated patients. Vaccinated patients thought the vaccine reduced the possibility of COVID-19 infection and complications, which was significantly different (p<0.01). Non-vaccinated group significantly feared the possible allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine, more than the vaccinated group (p=0.028). Fear of the possible side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine (p<0.001) and the thought of the COVID-19 vaccine being associated with unpredictable effects were significantly more evident in the non-vaccinated group (p<0.001). In conclusion, our study analyzed multiple factors in drug allergy patients regarding vaccine acceptance, rejection, and hesitancy for the first time in literature, similar studies with larger samples can also contribute to the literature in the future.

In this study, it is aimed to determine the correlation between histopathologic-immunohistochemical factors, tumor subtypes and fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) parameters such standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG) in breast cancer (BC). Initial PET/CT examination of 110 histopathologically proven BC patients (age ranging 27-92, mean age 56.18 ± 14.59) were included in this retrospective study. The relationship between histopathological-immunohistochemical factors, tumor subtypes and PET/CT parameters were analyzed by regression analysis. The mean SUV max value of 110 breast tumors was 7.73 ± 5.62 (range 1.4 - 34.15). Histological subtypes were; invasive ductal carcinoma (n:94, 85.5%), invasive lobular carcinoma (n=6, 5.5%) and other types (n=10, 9.1%). The distribution of BC subtypes was as follows; Luminal A (Lum A) (n=38; 34.5%), Luminal B (Lum B) (n=56; 50.9%), HER2-positive (n=3; 2.7%) and Triple Negative (TN) (n=13; 11.8%). Univariate regression analysis revealed significantly higher SUV max values in ductal carcinomas than lobular carcinomas (p=0.03). SUVmax values of the Lum B, HER2 positive and TN groups were higher than Lum A group (p=0.03, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively). Univariate regression analyses also showed that the MTV and TLG values of TN group were significantly higher than Lum A group (p=0.011, p=0.007, respectively). In multivariate regression analyses, no significant difference was observed in above mentioned groups. MTV, TLG and SUVmax values significantly correlated with histopathological-immunohistochemical factors and tumor subtypes in BC. So that, these parameters can be used to predict the tumors’ behavior.

A Handbook of History, Theory and Practice of the Dewey Decimal Classification System
Authors: Satija M. P. , Kyrios Alex
Published: October 2023

The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), used in 200,000 libraries across 140 countries, has entered a new age, primarily maintained today as a continuously revised electronic system rather than an occasionally updated set of print volumes. Its editors have added newly emerging topics and made it an increasingly faceted, semantically rich, modern system. Simultaneously, the editorial process has become democratised and more responsive to global needs.

A Handbook of History, Theory and Practice of the Dewey Decimal Classification System is a comprehensive, practical guide to today's DDC. Coverage includes: a brief history of the system, its editors, and its development; specialized examinations of specific parts of the classification; extensive guidance on number building, with many examples; a WebDewey-specific chapter, covering the system's benefits and features; concise summaries of primary takeaways, a glossary, and extensive bibliography.

This book will be an indispensable guide to twenty-first century DDC, an essential companion for DDC classifiers, and accessible for students and continuing learners as well.
A Low-cost Method to Try to Improve Panel Survey Representation
Authors: Lavrakas Paul J. , Kocar Sebastian
Published: October 2023

Survey researchers are perpetually faced with the challenge of trying to balance quality, time, and cost. However, it is essentially impossible for surveys to achieve high quality, a quick turnaround time, and low costs. So, most often researchers settle for trying to achieve two of these three. As survey costs have escalated, funders have become unwilling to keep spending more on surveys, and what often happens is that quality is compromised. It is within this context that we propose a low-cost approach to improve panel survey quality by increasing a panel’s representation of its target population. This includes both the quality of the initial sample recruited to join the panel and the sample that remains active within the panel. Our approach addresses a way to raise the representativeness of initial and on-going panel samples essentially without raising on-going costs. We present a case study of this approach, using the Life in Australia™ panel. We began by asking 1,557 panel members an open-ended question about why they joined and remained in the panel. We then content analyzed the responses to create quantitative data which could be analyzed statistically. Also, we gathered all the communications used with these panel members and performed a qualitative content analysis to identify the themes used to try to persuade the sampled panelists to join and stay active in the panel. We then compared the two sets of findings. There were six motivations that panelists reported that were not included in the recruitment and maintenance communications that were used with potential panelists and currently inactive panelists. We also found that panelists with certain background characteristics were more likely to report certain motivations for being in the panel. We acknowledge that our approach is not a panacea but believe it adds to the “toolbox” of panel companies.
INTERIOR SPACE PERCEPTION BY PREDICTABILITY OF OLFACTORY PREFERENCES
Authors: Wahajuddin Farah
Published: October 2023

In contrast to other spatial perceptions, why do architects prefer to design, map, and depict the visual? In addition to the visible, immaterial, and intangible aspects of space, architecture also addresses the minimal qualities that exist between the solid and the fluid as well as the ambiguous materiality of sound and smell. The human touch and multi-sensorial connection are what make the experience more intense.Today's building envelopes are made of tactile boundaries and visually perceptible borders that are an abstraction of the human body. This relies on vision, smell, and touch. For example, improving one's sense of smell may improve the perception of the surroundings. This is particularly intriguing because it emphasizes the significance of this sense and serves as a reminder of the possibility of sensory-sensitive information that is responsive and environment-adaptive.Individuals have different sensory perceptions of odours, just as different people have different needs for ambient and appropriate temperatures in a location. Although each person subjectively interprets these and responds differently, an individual instantaneously receives this information of change in the environment when any of the three aspects of scent, namely flow, intensity, or duration, are disturbed or augmented.Based on the methods used to acquire smell, data can be divided into four basic categories: observational, experimental, simulational, and generated. The intensity of a smell also fluctuates according to how far it is from its source, which will gradually wither away as time and distance pass. The study would help establish a parallel between smell and colour preferences. Researching if people’s preferences for colour and smell can be classified based on fixed parameters. McLean et al. (2018), pp 9-19Humans, however, can identify millions of distinct odours just by using their nose's smell receptors. So, it's an intriguing idea to incorporate smells into the process of designing a space. Although fragrances themselves cannot be represented visually and their ability to transport us to a different place and time cannot be demonstrated, they are nonetheless essential components of a setting that makes us feel at ease and at home.

Chicken meat, a staple of the Indonesian diet, undergoes extensive examination for contamination across diverse regions, yielding different findings. Using a comprehensive meta-analysis approach by combining previous researchees, making the results are widely applicable and understandable. This research aimed to obtain prevalence of bacterial contamination and pathogenic agents in both raw chicken meat and processed chicken products in Indonesia. The investigation occured in two sequential phases: first, a systematic review, including literature retrieval from databases like Google Scholar, Cross Ref, Pro Quest, PubMed, and Science Direct, followed by literature screening and data extraction. Then, in the second stage was conducted a meta-analysis. Effect size measurements, primarily the proportion/prevalence of bacterial contamination, are calculated using the random-effects model via the DerSimonian–Laird method. Analysis of 44 studies from 25 carefully selected literature sources shows that the prevalence of bacterial contami-nation in Indonesian chicken meat and its processed derivatives is 32.8% (95% CI: 21.6-44.1, I2 = 99.49%). To address the noticeable heterogeneity, sub-group meta-analyses was performed, which was categorized by sample type, the specific contaminating bacteria, and the sampling location. The sub-group meta-analysis based on sample type highlights processed chicken meat as having the highest prevalence at 47.8%. When broken down by bacterial type, contamination rates reveal E. coli (45.3%), Salmonella sp. (30.6%), Campylo-bacter sp. (20%), and L. monocytogenes (15.7%) as significantly influencing the prevalence of bacterial contamination in Indonesian samples. Geographically, traditional markets emerge as the primary source of bacteria-contaminated samples, with a prevalence rate of 31.2%.

IR 64 rice in Indonesia are among the highest sold, with a percentage of 26.09% while IR 42 rice was 10%, Muncul rice was 8.24% and Setra Ramos rice at 5.94%. However, white rice has a low fibre content. This research was conducted to determine the effect of adding seaweed flour (Eucheuma spinosum) on consumer acceptance of IR 64-cooked rice. The aspects studied were rice's taste, colour, aroma, and texture. This research started with making seaweed flour, which added 0.5% CaO as a bleaching agent during the soaking process. Then the seaweed flour was added to the rice before cooking at different contents of 5, 6, and 7%. Furthermore, the rice is cooked using Liwet technique. This rice was then tested organoleptically with four expert panelists (Culinary Education lecturers) and 30 semi-trained panelists (students of the Pendidikan Tata Boga Program, Universitas Negeri Jakarta). Based on the results of the Friedman test, with a confidence level of 95%, it shows that there is no influence on the aspects of aroma, texture, and colour, but there is an influence on the aspects of taste. Tukey's test results with α= 0.05 showed a tendency for liking the addition of 6% flour. According to 4 expert panelists, adding 6% has the characteristic taste of rice that is almost strong; the colour is close to the original white rice. The aroma of seaweed is barely prominent and has an almost fluffier texture.

Seepage studies show that 12-18 per cent of water is lost through conveyance of water to the rice fields. Masonry and pre-fabricated cement concrete were found to be effective in minimising the losses whereas the latter was more economical, Percolation loss in the rice field has been observed to be of the order of 23.d to 53.8 per cent. More attention is required to minimise this loss by changing the seed bed conditions.
