Concentration and texture of emotions in the musical expression of Sim Bongsa's crying
Authors: Kim Hye jung
Published: May 2024

In Simcheongga, Sim bongsa is depicted as losing precious things one after another and repeatedly screaming. His cries are expressed in slightly different music depending on the object of loss and the situation. This study examined how the difference in concentration and texture is made in various musical expressions of sadness in pansori.
Simcheongga was divided into four paragraphs based on the loss of Sim bongsa: i) the loss of Mrs. Kwak, ii) the loss of her daughter, Simcheong, iii) the loss of Mrs. Bbang-pa and his clothes, and iv) the restoration (復棋) of all the losses of Simcheong, who became an empress. Sim bongsa initially denies the situation and feels angry; however, she eventually negotiates and learns to accept it, but still suffers from depression.
The pain she felt during the denial and anger stage was expressed in furious tears. Unorganized emotions are expressed in a confusing and complex rhythm, with the crying sound of screaming and stretching at a high pitch repeated multiple times. The mode mainly uses a Gye-meyon (界面調) mode of sadness. The ending in which a sound similar to a deep sigh is expressed instead of one that gives a sense of stability also matches the sentiment. Meanwhile, the negotiation and acceptance stage was expressed using a slower beat, with a stable rhythm. The mid-range was widely used by occasionally mixing major tones.

The recommended tooth brushing duration is 2 minutes to obtain optimal fluoride levels in the mouth. Unfortunately, many people, especially teenagers and children, struggled to comply with the minimum duration. This study developed and tested the effectiveness of a toothbrush with a 2-minute timer prototype. This study determined the gaps and the mean scores of salivary pH, fluoride levels, plaque scores, and the number of Streptococcus mutants between the control group that used manual toothbrushes and the experimental group that used the prototype. A crossover and single-blind method was employed, involving 40 second-grade junior high school students selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by measuring the pH, fluoride levels, and the number of Streptococcus mutants bacteria in unstimulated saliva. The plaque score was also calculated using the Quigley-Hein modified Turesky plaque index (TMQHPI). The average fluoride level obtained by the experimental group was higher (8.86 ± 1.29) than the one of the control group (1.46 ± 0.44). The Independent T-test showed a significant difference in fluoride levels (p = 0.0001), while no significant difference in salivary was found in pH (p = 0.58) between both groups. The toothbrush with a 2-minute timer prototype developed in this study increased the fluoride levels, preventing dental caries and restoring salivary pH levels.

Published: May 2024

Silver nanoparticles have been the focus of research in various areas of dentistry, including orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment requires a long period of time, so the brackets are in the oral cavity for a long time. This can potentially trigger the formation of white spot lesions because plaque sticks more easily to the surrounding enamel. Using silver nanoparticles mixed with orthodontic adhesives has been reported to increase antibacterial and antimicrobial characteristics. This literature review aims to investigate the effect of adding silver nanoparticles to orthodontic adhesive devices in inhibiting antimicrobial activity. This study method was carried out by searching the online electronic databases PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar with the keywords "silver nanoparticles AND antimicrobial", "silver nanoparticles AND orthodontic adhesive", "silver nanoparticles AND composite resin", which is an original article published the year 2019- 2023. The results of research from 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria showed that orthodontic adhesives with silver nanoparticles effectively inhibited microbial activity, such as Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans), Lactobacillus acidophilus (L.acidophilus), Streptococcus sanguinis (S.sanguinis) and Candida albicans through increased release of Ag+ ions. Silver has been known to have effects, including producing minimal bacterial resistance compared to antibiotics. Even though it results in a decrease in the shear bond strength (SBS), the decrease level is still within clinically tolerable limits. It can be concluded that research needs to continue to be developed to obtain the right concentration and composition of the addition of silver nanoparticles so that an orthodontic adhesive material is obtained that is not only superior in its antibacterial properties but also in its mechanical properties.

The importance of dietary counselling in family practice for managing and preventing diabetes is the focal point of this review, highlighting its integral role in chronic disease management. With diabetes increasingly prevalent worldwide, there is a critical need for effective management strategies, with dietary interventions playing a key role. Family practitioners, often the initial point of contact for patients, have a unique opportunity to implement these dietary changes, which are pivotal in influencing diabetes outcomes and averting long-term complications. Despite facing challenges such as limited time and the need for specialized knowledge, dietary counselling in family practice stands as a proactive measure focused on prevention and early intervention. It adopts a patient-centered approach, where dietary habits and preferences are assessed, and personalized, evidence-based advice is provided. The inclusion of dietitians in primary care teams, utilization of technology for support, and advocacy for policy reforms are recommended to enhance the effectiveness of dietary counselling. Despite various obstacles, integrating dietary counselling into routine care remains a significant advantage, promoting healthier lifestyle choices and effectively managing the increasing burden of chronic diseases.

Authors: Hassani Haleh , Ahadi Mohsen , Jarollahi Farnoush , Jalaie Shohreh
Published: May 2024

Background and Aim: The utilization of speech materials in audiological assessments has faced challenges due to a lack of standardization and insufficient consideration of acoustic factors. This study aimed to develop a set of psychometrically validated monosyllabic and disyllabic words in Persian for use in auditory tests.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved collecting the most frequently used one- and two-syllable words from Persian dictionaries. A panel of experts evaluated the selected words using a 4-point Likert scale. Based on their recommendations, 382 monosyllabic words and 150 disyllabic words met the established criteria. Male and female talkers recorded these words, which were then presented in a random order to 30 young adults with normal hearing (aged 18–30 years). The presentation intensity levels ranged from 0 to 48 dB HL with 8 dB increments. Logistic regression was used to determine the psychometric properties of the words.
Results: As the intensity level increased, the percentage of word recognition scores also increased, reaching 100% at an intensity level of 48 dB HL. For Persian monosyllabic words, the mean psychometric slope was 0.29 %/dB for male talkers and 0.25 %/dB for female talkers. The corresponding slopes for Persian disyllabic words were 0.23 %/dB and 0.21 %/dB, respectively.
Conclusion: This study successfully developed 382 monosyllabic words and 150 disyllabic words in Persian with comparable psychometric properties. These words can be utilized in auditory tests for Iranian adults.

Is It Possible to Use the Speech-Evoked Auditory Brainstem Response Test During Sleep as It Is Used During Wakefulness?
Authors: Khoshkhou Ahmad , Shaabani Moslem , Bakhshi Enayatollah , Javanbakht Mohanna
Published: May 2024

Background and Aim: It is important to know how much are the auditory electrophysi- ological tests affected by sleep and wakefulness to be employed in different situations. This problem is more important for the speech-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response (speech- ABR) test that is affected by higher-level processing. This study aimed to compare the results of the speech-ABR test between wakefulness and sleep states.
Methods: Sixteen young male adults (aged 20–28 years) with normal hearing participated in this study. The speech-ABR to the /da/ syllable was recorded during wakefulness and sleep. Electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral tests (eyes position, body movements, etc.) were monitored during the test time to confirm the sleep state.
Results: The speech-ABR test parameters showed significant changes during sleep compared to wakefulness (latencies of waves V and A were longer and the amplitudes of waves V and A, the slope of V-A complex, and the spectral magnitude of F1 were lower). However, the spectral magnitude of higher frequencies was not significantly different.     In addition, no significant statistical difference was observed in speech-ABR parameters between right and left ears.
Conclusion: Although the speech-ABR originates from brainstem centers, unlike conventional click-evoked ABR, it is affected by sleep as it is affected by the higher-level auditory processing functions. Although, further studies are needed. However, our study opens the way for many applied auditory studies about the possibility to use speech-ABR for auditory processing assessments in sleep state of different population groups, such as neonates.

Published: May 2024

Scholars featured in a recent special issue of the Journal of Park and Recreation Administration and others have noted that public lands management has yet to integrate sustainable recreation policy and practice (Cerveny et al., 2022, p. 1). Additionally, there is growing recognition that inter-agency and scientist-citizen collaboration are needed to achieve this goal. In this commentary, we offer an example of minding the science-practice gap through cocreating research. Specifically, we describe how scientists from the US Forest Service and the University of California, Davis, and practitioners from the Los Angeles-based organization Outward Bound Adventures (OBA) operationalized ten essential characteristics of research (DePoy & Gitlin, 2020) in the development of a research proposal and implementation of a study on urban Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) youth perspectives of the outdoors.

Published: May 2024

The study was conducted in the instructional and research farm during the period 10th February to 11th September 2023 in a randomized block design (RBD) method. The first sowing dates started on 10th February, followed by 20th February, 2nd March, 12th March, 22nd March, 1st April, 11th April, 21st April, 1st May and 11th May, respectively, at 10 days intervals. The growth parameters like seed germination, number of leaves per plant, plant heights, number of cobs per plant, number of grains per cobs, 100 grain seed index, leaf area index and grain yield per hectare has been observed and evaluated. On evaluation it was noted that maize sown on 1st April gave highest seed germination of 95.87%, tallest plant of 198.83 cm, maximum number of 20.33 leaves per plant, highest leaf area index of 582.56, maximum number of 8.00 cobs per plant, maximum number of 31.27 grains per cob, highest seed index of 41.33 and highest grains yield of 9.31 kg/plot when compared to all other sowing dates. The germination (r= 0.704), plant height (r= 0.641), number of leaves (r= 0.966), leaf area (r= 0.709), number of cobs per plant (r= 0.994), number of grains per cob (r= 0.698) and seed index (r= 0.968) are positively stimulated yield response in hybrid maize. Thus, sowing on 1st April has a paramount effect on the production of hybrid maize in Namsai conditions.

Authors: Bagheripour Mohammad Ali , Sharifabad Hossein Heidari , Mehraban Ahmad , Ganjali Hamid Reza
Published: May 2024

Background: Yield gap is distance between potential yield and attainable yield (yield gap= potential yield-attainable yield) in order to increase the crop yield and the goal of sustainable agriculture. Methods: This study was conducted in Bam, Narmashir and Fahraj counties in 219 separate farms (79 farms in Bam, 72 farms in Narmashir and 68 farms in Fahraj) during the years 2019 and 2020 to investigate the yield gap of wheat and determine the limiting factors and their contributions to yield reduction, using the comparative performance analysis (CPA) method. All information related to soil factors, management factors, climatic factors and agronomic traits (53 variables) were measured and recorded. The relationship between wheat yield and all variables was examined using a stepwise multiple regression method. A production model was determined for soil and management factors. Result: The results showed a yield gap between actual yield and potential yield in the regions of Bam, Narmashir and Fahraj, which were 1770.8, 1817.61 and 1605 kg per hectare, respectively. Since the actual yield in these regions was 4248, 4228 and 3161 kg per hectare, the yield gap was observed to be 33.6%, 30% and 29.4%, respectively. The effective factors in reducing the yield in the Bam region included water shortage (19.48%), nitrogen deficiency (16.09%), delayed planting (15.40%), soil available phosphorus deficiency (10.14%), weed density (10.8%), soil organic carbon (13.59%) and inappropriate plant density (14.47%). In the Narmashir region, water shortage (26.68%), nitrogen deficiency (18.86%), soil organic carbon (11.78%), inappropriate plant density (12.43%), wheat aphid (19.58%) and weed density (10.64%) caused yield reduction. In the Fahraj region, water shortage (20.65%), nitrogen deficiency (19.62%), delayed planting (9.44%), soil available phosphorus deficiency (8.45%), weed density (12%), soil salinity (12.80%) and black stem disease (17%) caused a decrease in wheat yield.
Exploring the Educational Significance of ‘There’ Existential Sentences with Negatives: A Comparative Analysis with English Literary Works
Authors:   The Korean Society For Teaching English Literature, Shin Sona
Published: May 2024

This study examines the primary function of the ‘There + be(with negatives) structure’ in English, asserting its role in emphasizing the non-existence of a noun in a sentence. Analysis of this structure alongside ‘be(with negatives)’ in literary works such as Black Beauty by Anna Swell, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and the Korean-English translated literature The Vegetarian, translated by Deborah Smith, is conducted. A survey involving three English teachers from Korea and five English native speakers aimed to uncover disparities in perception of these sentence patterns. Findings indicate a minimal occurrence of ‘be(with negatives) sentences’ without ‘there,’ with the ‘be’ verb primarily complementing prepositional phrases rather than emphasizing the absence of a noun. The survey underscores the importance of negative words in determining the appropriate usage of existential sentences, suggesting their pivotal role in ensuring accuracy and contextual appropriateness. While supporting the initial hypothesis, further research with larger sample sizes and rigorous statistical analysis is deemed necessary for conclusive confirmation.

Giardia duodenalis en Algérie : une revue dans le cadre du concept Une seule santé
Authors: Thomas Myriam , Polack Bruno , Mammeri Mohamed
Published: May 2024

Giardia duodenalis est un parasite protozoaire qui infecte principalement l’intestin grêle de divers mammifères, y compris les humains. Il s’agit d’un complexe d’espèces composé de plusieurs génotypes connus sous le nom d’assemblages A à H. Les assemblages A et B sont considérés comme les plus zoonotiques, présentant ainsi un risque significatif pour la santé humaine, tandis que les assemblages C à H se trouvent chez les animaux de compagnie, le bétail, les rongeurs et les vertébrés marins. La giardiose, due à G. duodenalis, est l’infection parasitaire intestinale la plus courante dans le monde. En Algérie, il existe des données limitées sur l’occurrence et les caractéristiques génétiques de G. duodenalis, entravant la compréhension de son épidémiologie, de son impact et de son potentiel zoonotique. Cette revue se concentre sur la recherche menée en Algérie, couvrant les humains, les animaux et l’environnement, en mettant l’accent sur l’approche «Une seule santé». Les bases de données PubMed et ResearchGate ont été utilisées pour accéder aux publications pertinentes sur la présence de G. duodenalis chez les humains, les animaux ou dans l’environnement de janvier 2000 à avril 2023. Dix-sept publications ont été identifiées, parmi lesquelles seuls quatre articles utilisaient des outils moléculaires pour identifier G. duodenalis. Les résultats ont révélé la présence de G. duodenalis chez les humains, les animaux d’élevage (bovins, ovins et chameaux) et dans l’environnement (échantillons d’eau et de sol). La prévalence et la diversité génétique des isolats de G. duodenalis variaient selon les régions et les groupes d’âge, aussi bien chez les humains que chez les animaux. L’assemblage A était couramment trouvé chez les humains et les animaux, indiquant une transmission zoonotique potentielle. Des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour comprendre de manière approfondie la dynamique de transmission de G. duodenalis, son potentiel zoonotique et les implications pour la santé publique et le bien-être animal en Algérie. Aborder G. duodenalis nécessite des efforts collaboratifs dans le cadre du concept «Une seule santé», impliquant des vétérinaires, des biologistes, des écologistes et des professionnels de la santé. La mise en oeuvre de stratégies de prévention et de contrôle adaptées à des régions spécifiques et l'amélioration des pratiques d’hygiène et d’élevage sont essentielles pour réduire la charge de la giardiose tant chez les humains que chez les animaux.

On Fioria vitifolia (L.) Mattei
Authors: Kundu B. C. , Biswas Chhabi
Published: May 2024

In his revision of the genus Hibiscus, Hochreutiner (1900) included three species, H. vitifolius L., H. dictyocarpus (Hochst.) Webb, and H. purpureus Forsk. in section Pterocarpus Garcke. On the basis of the structural peculiarities of the 5-angular, alate, scarious, oligospermous capsules present in H. vitifolius, H. dictyocarpus and H. pavonioides, Mattei (1917) established a new genus Fioria. Although agreeing that the nature of the fruit in Fioria is strikingly different from that of any typical Hibiscus sp., Hochreuliner (1924) did not accept Fioria as a distinct genus. From his study of the conspicuous, scarious, strongly veined wings of H. vitifolius, Kearney (1955) justified the maintenance of Fioria as a distinct genus. Brenan and Exell (1958) did not accept it. In a detailed study of 80 specimens of H. vitifolius from different parts of India and abroad, several other distinguishing characteristics, in addit' on to those of the wings of fruit, have been observed, which justify retaining Fiona as a genus distinct from Hibiscus.

Published: May 2024

Biosystematic studies have been carried out on some species of the Solanum nigrum complex, viz., diploid S. nigrum, S. nadiflorum, tetraploid S. nigrum, S. luteum and S. villosum. A comparison of fruit colour and chromosome number of the taxa divides them into two groups. Diploid S. nigrum and S. nodiflorum have shiny bluish black fruits and n = 12 chromosomes. In tetraploid S. nigrum the fruits are orange red while in S. luteum and S. villosum the fruits are yellow and the chromosome number in all the three taxa is n = 24. Meiosis was normal in all the species. The close relationship between diploid S. nigrum and S. nodiflorum, and among the species tetraploid S. nigrum, S. luteumand villosum has been confirmed by cytogenetical studies and statistical comparison of mean values of morphological characters.In the light of the foregoing studies a taxonomic revision of the species studied is suggested.

Authors: Singh J. N.
Published: May 2024

Under the present investigation, for preserving the Great Banyan Tree (Ficus benghalensis L.) of religious, tourism and botanical significance,-its root environment has thoroughly been investigated which was not yet been explored. From the results it is clear that the entire soil which is supporting nearly 95-98% soil-proproot system is quite low in organic carbon content and consequently resulting into its unfavourable physico-chemical properties. A few important physico-chemical properties have been tabulated and at the end some valuable suggestions are given.
Spiral Mechanism in Arenga pinnata
Authors: Basu Shyamal Kumar , Antony Davis T.
Published: May 2024

The phyllotaxy of Arenga pinnata is alternate and cyclic revealing two distinct foliar spirals. In some individuals, the two spirals veer to the left and in others, to the right. The number of leaflets on one half of leaf differs from that of the other. This difference is associated with the leaf spirals. Due to the monocarpic nature of the palm, its reproductive phase starts with a terminal inflorescence followed by the development of axillary inflorescences in basipetal order. The sex of the flowers varies with the position of the respective spadices on the palm. That is, the terminal and a few immediate successive spadices produce only female flowers, beyond which each inflorescence produces both female and male flowers, and the last many spadices have only males. The flowers are distributed in clusters of 2 males or 2 males and a female in between, or individually if they are only females. In a cluster of 2 or 3 flowers, The aestivation of sepals of the males varies with their position in the triad. The aestivation pattern in female flowers, however, has an influence on the spirality of the spika on which they are borne.
