Analisis Sistem Kewaspadaan Pangan Dan Gizi Kabupaten Jayawijaya
Authors: Ngutra Risky Novan , Kekry Boy Piter Nizu
Published: May 2022

SKPG merupakan  sistem  yang  tepat  digunakan  oleh  pemerintah  daerah  karena SKPG  merupakan  sistem  pengelolaan  informasi  pangan  dan  gizi  dalam  rangka menetapkan kebijakan program pangan dan gizi. Selain itu, informasi  pangan  dan  gizi  dapat  dipakai  untuk  menetapkan  kebijakan  dan  tindakan  segera  terutama  dalam  keadaan  krisis  pangan  dan  gizi. Berdasarkan kenyataan ini analisis kerawanan pangan melalui kajian SKPG sangat penting artinya bagi upaya  pencegahan  terjadinya  beberapa  dampak  negatif  dari  kerawanan  pangan, terutama agar berbagai program  dengan sumberdaya terbatas dapat betul-betul efektif, efisien dan tepat sasaran dalam menanggulangi masalah kerawanan pangan. Metode Analisa yang diterapkan dalam Kajian SKPG ini, terdiri atas (1) Analisis SKPG, dengan menggunakan analisa rasio dan indeks komposit; (2) Analisis Deskriptif. Hasil analisis yang diperoleh pada umumnya data-data terkait dengan ketersediaan pangan I cukup lengkap, dimana teridentifikasi hanya terdapat 12 distrik yang memiliki data dasar dari 40 distrik di Kabupaten Jayawijaya. Selain itu di distrik pemekaran data dasar masih banyak yang belum tersedia. Terkait dengan analisa data, ada sebagian komoditi yang tidak dapat diukur tingkat produktifitasnya, misalkan komoditi ubi jalar (hipere). Hal ini dikarenakan sesuai dengan budaya mereka, panen dilakukan dengan cara mengambil sebagian tanaman untuk konsumsi hari itu, sisanya masih disimpan didalam tanah (lumbung hidup). Kekurangan data pada lokasi penelitian di Dinas Pertanian, Badan Ketahanan Pangan Daerah, maupun BPS di Kabupaten Jayawijaya disebabkan kurang koordinasinya antara Tenaga Penyuluh Lapangan dengan Badan Ketahanan Pangan Daerah dan Dinas Pertanian. Selain itu kurangnya hubungan yang harmonis antara BKP Daerah dengan tenaga penyuluh lapangan di masing-masing di distrik.Kata Kunci: Ketahanan Pangan, SKPG, Komoditi

Many years ago when I was doing biomedical research I had occasion to carefully study what is now a classic medical textbook [Ref 1]. It explained that the human body is composed of thousands of control systems; some operate at the cellular level, some at the level of organs and some at the whole-body level. Examples of these systems include the regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the extracellular fluid as well as the insulin control system that maintains the concentration of glucose in the blood. Life goes on when all these control systems function properly. Moderate dysfunction of some of these control systems results in illness, while extreme dysfunction results in death. This, I believe, has some parallels to complex engineered systems.
Speaking Risk With Our Project Managers
Authors: Nix Dustin , Fellows John , Hall John
Published: May 2022

Effective communication between the system safety engineer and the project manager (PM) is an essential characteristic of good risk management in a robust system safety program. However, these two disciplines often use similar terms with disparate meanings that can lead to sub-optimal technical or programmatic outcomes. MIL-STD-882E defines “risk” as “a combination of the severity of the mishap and the probability that the mishap will occur”. The Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide, 6th Edition, defines “individual project risk” as “an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives”.

It is incumbent upon the system safety professional to clearly communicate safety-related issues, hazards, risks and concerns using language most likely to be understood by the PM to ensure that he or she has the requisite information to make a sound programmatic decision. This paper explores the discrepancies between project risk management and safety risk management standard processes that hinder clear communication and can drastically impact program performance. We present methods to consider that will improve understanding between the system safety professional and the PM, along with two framework approaches for integrating safety and project risks.
Cost, Schedule and Safety Benefits of Early System Safety Involvement
Authors: Hewitt John , Foito Daniel
Published: May 2022

System safety engineering is the application of engineering and management principles, criteria and techniques to achieve acceptable mishap risks. System safety typically reduces mishap risks through analyses that identify and address potential system failure modes. Studies indicate that when system safety is involved early in the product lifecycle, schedule slippage and cost escalation resulting from design changes can be substantially reduced. Development programs often face the dilemma of whether to apply funding to perform thorough, intensive system safety analyses in the conceptual design phase or wait until later, when designs are more complete, parts are being manufactured or testing is underway. Performing the analyses earlier consumes funds that might be needed later, while performing the analyses later increases the likelihood of expensive and time-consuming redesigns. This paper provides examples that encourage involving system safety engineering earlier in the process, by demonstrating the cost and schedule advantages, as well as the expected safety risk reduction. In addition, involving system safety earlier permits corrective actions to be implemented at a higher level in the system safety order of design precedence, which increases the effectiveness of corrective actions and reduces residual risk.

The International System Safety Society (ISSS) is still suffering from the impacts of the 2011 Budget Control Act that imposed “sequestration” measures within many members of the Society’s government contractor customer base. The Act resulted in immediate, and significant, decreases in membership and attendance at the annual Conference. Over a period of several years our member base was reduced by almost two thirds, going from approximately 1,200 paying members to about 500. Many system safety programs were “defunded,” forcing people to move to new fields where a Society membership no longer seemed necessary. In addition, funding cuts and an apparent distaste for “conferences” by government agencies slashed budgets supporting engineers’ Conference attendance.

Published: May 2022

Aim: to evaluate randomized controlled trials and perform a meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of curcumin on inflammatory pain in different disorders, in comparison to placebo and traditional pain treatments (NSAIDs and glucosamine plus chondroitin). Method and design: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT). Data sources: Pubmed and Cochrane library were searched for relevant RCTs from January 1999 to July 2021. Reference lists were manually checked. Selection criteria: published RCTs comparing curcumin to placebo or other treatment modalities in adults with different pain disorders were eligible for inclusion. Data collection and criteria: the studies were selected, and their quality was assessed by two review authors. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was used to analyze the continuous outcome using a random effect model. Results: In all the 15 studies included 1475 subjects. Curcumin was found to be superior in controlling pain against placebo. Moreover, curcumin demonstrated a superior effect in controlling osteoarthritic pain when compared to Glucosamine and Chondroitin combination. However, Curcumin was found to be similarly effective to NSAIDs in controlling pain. Conclusions: Curcumin was found superior in pain relief against placebo and combination of glucosamine and chondroitin. In addition, it demonstrated equal efficacy in relieving osteoarthritic pain, when compared to NSAIDs. Key words: curcumin, inflammatory pain, osteoarthritis, NSAIDs, VAS, MOMAC, meta-analysis, Dysmenorrhea, post-surgical pain.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly become a major worldwide health problem. Understanding the negative psychological sequalae on working physicians either front liners or not, can reserve psychological resilience for future disease outbreaks. Aim of the study: to explore the degree of anxiety and perceived stress in junior and mid senior physicians working at Cairo University Hospitals amid the COVID 19 pandemic. Methodology: This was an online based cross-sectional study done from April to May 2021. A total of 208 physicians working at Cairo University hospitals were asked to fill in Google forms including sociodemographic and clinical data beside two reliable tools to assess anxiety using the generalized anxiety disorder questionnaire (GAD) and perceived stress using the perceived stress scale (PSS). The individual domains and the total scores were calculated then compared with the different sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Results: Most of the participants were females (66.3%), single (66.8%), not previously infected with COVID-19 (63.5%) and not included in the care of COVID 19 patients (64.9%). The mean GAD total score was 8.99±5.58 with 57.7% of the participants suffering mild to moderate anxiety. The mean PSS score was 20.76±5.3 with 80.3% found to have moderate stress. Except for the relation between gender and perceived stress (p value= 0.003), and the relation between psychiatric illness and perceived stress (p value=0.026), there was no statistical significance between anxiety and perceived stress from one side and sociodemographic and clinical data from the other side. Conclusion: Anxiety and perceived stress among physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic is considered high regardless of the different sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Breastfeeding plays an important role in newborn life as it gives nutritional and emotional dependency of the baby on the mother. While there are a lot of contraindications of breastfeeding, not all infectious diseases prevent breastfeeding as they can be treated and controlled Awareness of the mother about relative and absolute contraindications of breastfeeding is very important to preserve the health of her baby. Aim: In this study, we would like to know the level of awareness about the relative and absolute contraindications of breastfeeding among mothers of Taif city Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Taif city, KSA from January 2021 to June 2021, and data was obtained by online questionnaire. Data was entered through Excel version 16.16.23, and all Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS ver23 (IBM corp. the USA) by an independent biostatistician. The categorical variable was analyzed by using Pearson’s Chi-square test. Continuous variables obtained are expressed as mean and standard deviation. The significance value (p-value) <0.05 is considered statistically significant Result: The assessment of knowledge level related to breastfeeding showed that only 7.9% had good knowledge, and most of the participants had poor knowledge (82.1%). When we assessed the relationship of this knowledge level with the age of the mothers, it was found that mothers who were 18-28 years of age had comparatively more ‘good’ knowledge (20.0%) than other age groups Conclusion: In general, level of awareness in terms of contraindications of breastfeeding in our study was very low, so we need to increase awareness of Healthcare professionals as they have a critical role in spreading information and encouraging women to breastfeed. The health education program should be implemented as soon as possible. Key words: breastfeeding, Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice of mothers, Taif city, Saudi Arabia

Background: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) has distinctive features of excessive anxiety, worries, and tension. People with GAD have a considerable degree of impairment and often have a poor quality of life besides increased health care costs. Our aim is to determine the prevalence of GAD among adults and the associated factors. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study with a sample size of 385 was conducted on adults aged 18 - 65 years at Primary Health Care Corporation in Qatar. We used probability, cluster sampling technique and written consents were secured from participants who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Considering the COVID-19 current pandemic, measures were considered at interviews to complete GAD-7 questionnaire which is a seven-item instrument that is used to measure the severity of GAD. A total score ranges from 0 to 21. Scores of 5, 10, 15 represent cut-points for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety respectively. Moderate and severe anxiety are considered worthy of clinical attention. We used SPSS version 23 for data analyses. Approval notice was obtained from the Research Committee. Results: The prevalence of clinically significant GAD (moderate to severe) in the study sample was 5.2%. One half of the group with moderate to severe anxiety felt that their life is tough (very or extremely difficult). One third of the participants diagnosed with clinically significant GAD related it to COVID-19 pandemic. A multiple logistic regression model used to predict GAD showed association with: female gender, Northern Africa/South-eastern Asia nationalities, having a positive family history of anxiety disorders, age less than 30 years, illiterate/primary education level, a very high income, and being a smoker. The primary model that included all the explanatory variables was statistically significant with a 95.6% overall predictive accuracy for the outcome. Conclusion: This prevalence highlights the importance of regular screening of GAD, especially for those at high risk. The study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key words: Generalized anxiety disorder, prevalence, Qatar.
Canine Life and Death: The Affective Politics of Stray DogManagement in Jordan
Authors: McClellan Kate
Published: May 2022

In this article, I examine the affective politics surrounding the management of stray dogs in Jordan. I suggest that human-dog relations in Jordan, including how different actors talk about, interact with, and care for dog life, can be read as a commentary on what a good life, and in particular, a good future, means in Jordan. Drawing on material from ethnographic fieldwork in Amman, I examine how Jordanians use the issue of stray dog management to imagine different futures for their country, and to reflect upon various aspects of contemporary life, including Islamic belief and practice. I argue that competing affects surrounding stray dog life and death - namely, fear and violence; compassion and care; and response and responsibility - both create and reflect human-dog relations in Jordan.
Humans in Animalscapes: Reconstructing Vermin-HumanInteractions in Rural Anatolia and Mesopotamia (ca. 1600–1850)
Authors: Çelik Semih
Published: May 2022

One of the most frequent cases in which vermin appear in Ottoman official correspondence is when they “attack” or “invade” human settlements, consuming or destroying food produced specifically for human consumption. Until effective ways and tools to manage them emerged in the late nineteenth century, communities withstood flies, locusts, and rats. Indeed, specific categories of animals subsumed within the category of vermin/haşarat seem to have become among the biggest troublemakers in rural Anatolia and Mesopotamia. These vermin caused not only short-term scarcity of food, especially concerning during famines, but also writ-large settlement abandonment, resulting in the temporary and even long-term problems of rural/regional economic systems. Yet very few Ottoman historians have reconstructed these stories within a critical animal history perspective. While it is true that these attacks and invasions of vermin created great burdens on human (and other animal) communities throughout history globally, the ways we historians have handled such cases tend to be anthropocentric. Here I argue for an ontological turn towards spatial aspects of vermin lives within human settlements and thus position my line of thinking about interaction from the ground-up, both literally and figuratively. From early-modern Ottoman discourses about vermin and the strategies used to cope with them from dictionaries/lexicons, literary and scientific texts, legal codices, and archival material, I develop a new analytical tool to understand interaction between humans and vermin as competition over perceived and actual space. I argue that we approach vermin behavior from the perspective of a spatial consciousness that constructed extended liminal configurations of space, which I call animalscapes. Human communities in Anatolia and Mesopotamia on the other hand, acknowledged the vermin perception of animalscapes and negotiated their place within, until the invention of chemical weapons against vermin at the end of the nineteenth century.

Wohnen – eine existenzphilosophische Betrachtung
Authors: Hasse Jürgen
Published: May 2022

Zwischen emotionaler Betroffenheit (von Atmosphären) und sachverhaltlich-objektivem Betroffen-Sein (von sozioökonomischen wie ökologischen Lebensbedingungen) strebt das Individuum nach einem bequemen und behaglichen Wohnen. Der Beitrag fragt vor dem Hintergrund existenz- bzw. lebensphilosophischer Überlegungen nach der Bedeutung des Wohnens. Dieses gerät in der Gegenwart unter den Druck der Sorge sowie der ethischen Reflexion und praktischen Revision. Als nicht zukunftsfähig erweisen sich solche Formen wohnender Verräumlichung des Lebens, die mehr aus der natürlichen und sozialen Welt nehmen als lastenausgleichend an sie zurückgeben. Welche Perspektiven eröffnet die bewusstgemachte Selbstbegegnung?
Othering von wohnungslosen Menschen
Authors: Heinrich Marco , Heinzelmann Frieda , Kress Georgina , Sowa Frank
Published: May 2022

Der derzeitige gesellschaftliche Bearbeitungsmodus von urbaner Wohnungs- und Obdachlosigkeit führt dazu, dass Menschen ohne Wohnung ausgegrenzt werden und ihre gesellschaftlichen Teilhabemöglichkeiten begrenzt sind. Damit gehen Prozesse des Othering einher, durch die sich Stereotype der fremden Anderen ohne Wohnung in Relation zur eigenen, bürgerlichen Mehrheitsgesellschaft etablieren. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass wohnungslose Menschen die dichotomischen Konstruktionen in ihren Selbstpositionierungen übernehmen. Zudem entwickeln sie Praktiken des Umgangs mit den vorherrschenden Fremdkonstruktionen über wohnungslose Andere, die sich als Praktiken des Verbergens, der Abgrenzung und der Anpassung charakterisieren lassen.
Inklusive oder exklusive Wohnungspolitik? Erklärungen für den Mangel an barrierefreiem Wohnraum
Authors: Slavici Melanie
Published: May 2022

Laut Studienlage existiert ein Mangel an barrierefreien Wohnungen, auf die insbesondere Ältere und Menschen mit Behinderungen angewiesen sind. Der vorliegende Beitrag definiert zunächst Barrierefreiheit im Neubau und grenzt diesen gegenüber barrierereduzierenden Maßnahmen im Bestand ab. Darauf aufbauend interessiert, welche politischen Maßnahmen es bislang gibt. Vor allem über das Bauordnungsrecht und die soziale Wohnraumförderung können die Bundesländer barrierefreie Kriterien in der Wohnungspolitik integrieren. Warum dies bislang nicht zu einer Deckung der Wohnraumknappheit geführt hat, wird abschließend entlang der Faktoren „Problemstrukturen“, „Akteure“ und „Institutionen“ diskutiert.
Erfahren und Erkennen
Authors: Emundts Dina
Published: May 2022

What is "experience" for Hegel? Dina Emundts gives a new interpretation of Hegel's fundamental philosophical theses. In an analysis of the first four chapters of the "Phenomenology of Spirit," methodological, epistemological, and ontological aspects of Hegel's concept of experience are elaborated. According to Hegel, philosophical theses must be verified and developed through analyses of experience. This is especially true for answering the question of the possibility of cognition. For Hegel, cognition is a process of acquiring and experiencing something new. It is one of the author's main intentions to show that for Hegel cognition depends on the possibility of reference to objects that are sensually experienced by us and can be 'resistant' to us.

Since 2014, the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen has been passing on police costs for high-risk major events to their organisers. The charge, which is unique in Germany, primarily affects professional football.

Charging private individuals for the costs of state security services affects important guarantees of the German Grundgesetz. In this respect, the relevant Section 4 (4) of the BremGebBeitrG follows the argumentation for the so-called aviation security fee. German Courts have already defined constitutional standards for this in the past. In addition, the interwoven association structures in professional sports require a detailed derivation of the concept of an organiser to determine the parties liable for the costs.
Delivery of Optimum Management of Type B Aortic Dissection in the UK: Sum of All Fears!
Authors: Jubouri Matti , Bashir Mohamad , Bailey Damian , Anderson Richard , A Nienaber Christoph , Williams Ian
Published: May 2022

Introduction: This review aims to summarise the current trend and practice for management of type B aortic dissection (TBAD) across the UK. We also aim to highlight the service specification and configuration as well as the current portrayed outcomes published from different sources within the UK. Methods: We carried out a comprehensive literature search on multiple electronic databases including PUBMED, Scopus and EMBASE in order to collate all research evidence on TBAD service line in the UK. We also navigated through official reports published from different sources within the UK specifically highlighting aortic dissection. Results: The UK’s research into TBAD falls short when compared to international counterparts due to a lack of evidence related to TBAD incidence and outcomes. Some TBAD patients are managed at unspecialised centres and others are lost to follow-up. The UK’s vascular surgery workforce is expanding at a very slow rate and the specialised aortic units are consistently failing to meet the waiting time standards for treatment. Conclusions: Restructuring and service reconfiguration are imperative for outcome reporting for TBAD affected population cohort. TBAD should be centralised towards hospital with concentrated level of experience and expertise.
A History of the Encyclopaedia of Islam
Authors: Bearman Peri
Published: May 2022

The first two editions of the Encyclopaedia of Islam remain the leading resources in the field of Arabic and Islamic Studies. In this volume, Peri Bearman—the only scholar who was both an in-house editor at Brill, the publishing house that for over a century produced the Encyclopaedia, and also a member of the editorial board—has produced a masterful and detailed account of how it went from being a mere idea to a monument of scholarship. We read about the challenges and pitfalls of conceptualizing, commissioning, vetting, editing, translating, copyediting, proofing, and delivering of articles, about the many personalities involved, and about the conflicts and concessions that had to be made. With unparalleled access to documents, in particular editorial correspondence, Bearman recounts the engaging story of one of the world’s greatest collaborative works in any discipline.
His Good Name
Authors: Yamamoto Kei
Published: May 2022

The wish to affiliate with a specific cultural, social, or ethnical group is as important today as it was in past societies, such as that of the ancient Egyptians. The same significance applies to the self-presentation of an individual within such a group. Although it is inevitable that we perceive ancient cultures through the lens of our time, place, and value systems, we can certainly try to look beyond these limitations. Questions of how the ancient Egyptians saw themselves and how individuals tried to establish and thus present themselves in society are central pieces of the puzzle of how we interpret this ancient culture. This volume focuses on the topic of identity and self-presentation, tackling the subject from many different angles: the ways in which social and personal identities are constructed and maintained; the manipulations of culture by individuals to reflect real or aspirational identities; and the methods modern scholars use to attempt to say something about ancient persons. Building on the work of Ronald J. Leprohon, to whom this volume is dedicated, contributions in this volume present an overview of our current state of understanding of patterns of identity and self-presentation in ancient Egypt. The contributions approach various aspects of identity and self-presentation through studies of gender, literature, material culture, mythology, names, and officialdom.

Authors: Manzano Sánchez David , Jiménez-Parra José Francisco
Published: May 2022

This study analyzes the differences in psychosocial variables as a function of the interpersonal teaching style in Secondary Education students. This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample consisted of 120 students, aged 12 to 17 years (M = 13.4, SD = 1.36). A battery of validated questionnaires was completed to analyze motivation, basic psychological needs, school social climate, sports satisfaction and the teaching interpersonal style, which acted as a variable to elaborate the cluster profiles. The analysis of the dendrogram suggested the creation of two profiles, the first, “high autonomy support” and the second, “high controlling style”. The multivariate analysis showed higher values ​​for the first profile in autonomy, competence, social relationship, teacher climate and fun, while the second profile being higher in amotivation and boredom. It is concluded that greater support for autonomy allowed greater satisfaction of the adaptive psychological variables.

The subject of this article is the history of the development and application of prosopography in historical research. The author proposes a periodization of the history of prosopography - a research method and an interdisciplinary direction of research (an auxiliary applied discipline). Particular attention is paid to the criteria for identifying the periods of development of prosopography and the history of the emergence of analytical (quantitative) prosopography, its source database, research methods and features of research. The source of useful materials is an extensive complex of materials collected by the author over the past 30 years. More than 5,000 publications on prosopographic studies carried out by foreign and russian historians in the period from the infection of the 19th century until now have been collected. The main research methods used by the author in this work are the historical-comparative and historical-chronological methods, the method of analyzing historiographic sources used at different times to create and analyze information from prosopographic databases; the results of their processing, including the interpretation of income in the past development, as well as the presentation of prosopographic projects on the Internet and the use of modern information technologies. The scientific novelty of the study is carried out in the original classical periodization of prosopographic studies, combining foreign and domestic historiography of prosopography and studying it as the only premise.
A field test of forest canopy structure measurements with the CanopyCapture smartphone application
Authors: Lusk Christopher H.
Published: May 2022

Background

Several smartphone applications have been developed for the purpose of low-cost and convenient assessments of vegetation canopy structure and understorey illumination. Like standard hemispherical photography, most of these applications require user decisions about image processing, posing challenges for repeatability of measurements. Here I report a test of CanopyCapture, an application that instantaneously estimates percentage canopy gap fraction without any input from the user, and has the added advantage of an intuitive levelling mechanism.

Methods

Gap fraction estimates by CanopyCapture were compared with gap fraction values computed by the LAI-2200C Canopy Analyzer, in two contrasting evergreen temperate forests in New Zealand: an even-aged southern beech (Nothofagus) stand and an old-growth podocarp/broadleaf forest. These comparisons were repeated using a wide-angle adapter to enhance the smartphone camera’s field of view from 45 to 65°. I also asked if CanopyCapture results depended on sky condition (sunny vs. overcast) and on the type of smartphone used.

Results

CanopyCapture output was significantly correlated with gap fraction computed by the LAI-2200C (R2 = 0.39), and use of the wide-angle adapter lifted this value to 0.56. However, CanopyCapture output was not significantly correlated with LAI-2200C output in the even-aged Nothofagus stand, where there was less spatial variation in canopy structure. Despite being much less sensitive to variation in gap fraction than the LAI-2200C, CanopyCapture was nevertheless able to detect differences in average gap fraction between the two forests studied. CanopyCapture results beneath intact canopies were not significantly affected by sky condition, but reflection of direct light off tree trunks in sunny weather caused slight overestimation of gap fraction beneath broken canopies and gaps. Uneven or patchy cloud cover can also cause erroneous readings beneath large canopy openings. Three different models of smartphone gave different results.

Conclusions

CanopyCapture offers a rapid and repeatable proxy for comparisons of average canopy gap fraction in multiple stands/forests, provided large sample sizes are used. Measurement under even overcast skies is recommended, and studies involving multiple operators will need to standardize smartphones to ensure comparability of results. Although wide-angle adapters can improve performance, CanopyCapture’s low sensitivity prevents high-resolution comparisons of the light environments of individual understorey plants within a stand.
An Optimization Model for Vehicle Routing in Urban Cold-Chain Logistics
Authors: Chaofan Wang , Yu Song
Published: May 2022

In the present study, we construct an improved vehicle routing problem with simultaneous delivery and pick-up model to reduce unnecessary waste and cost in urban cold-chain logistics distribution. This model considers real-time outside temperature during distribution and optimizes the total cost of transportation, cargo damage and refrigeration. The model is solved using a genetic algorithm to determine the distribution path with the optimal cost. Finally, the validity of the model and the effectiveness of the algorithm are numerically tested.

Upon an active research regarding the influence of environmental factors on the COVID-19 infection rate, that denoted a divided opinion between a positive or negative influence in term of humidity and the SARS COV-2 virus spread, the authors were able to obtain a quantification effect of relative humidity (RH) influence on the spread of SARS COV-2 virus, in Romania, and consequently the influence of RH on the future number of daily COVID-19 positive cases. The discussed quantification was validated by means of computer software, and the aid of a mathematical model that predicts the outcome of COVID-19 disease on a horizon of 28 days, based on a complex neural network structure, trained using consistent data tracking the evolution of daily COVID-19 cases from March 2020 till October 2020, tool designed by the authors themselves. The validated quantification revealed that the maximum influence of RH on the increase of daily COVID-19 infections is between 60% - 70%, due to the temperate climate, while zero influence occurs at a RH higher than 90%.

Background: In Cameroon, numerous people rely on medicinal plants and possess knowledge on the use of these plants. Plant knowledge from indigenous people is rapidly disappearing due to environmental, social and economic pressure, processes and changes. In view of this, ethnobotanical studies have been carried out in the area where medicinal plants are the main source of health care in order to preserve traditional knowledge of plant use. This study aims to document and quantify medicinal plant knowledge on the treatment of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular ailments in Fokoue and Santchou subdivisions of Menoua Division, West Cameroon.

Methods: Information related to medicinal plant species and plant remedies was collected through semi-structured interviews with 34 informants accompanied by homegarden sampling, walk-in-the-woods and snowball sampling. Quantitative methods were used to determine cultural importance index, relative frequency of citation and fidelity level which represent informants’ consensus.

Results: A total of 49 medicinal plant species representing 26 different botanical families were recorded in Fokoue and Santchou subdivisions of Menoua Division, West Cameroon.  Most-cited plant families were Acanthaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Poaceae and Rhamnaceae. Plant species Allium sativum, Aloe vera, Asystasia spp., Cymbopogon citratus, Gouania spp., Persea americana, Sonchus oleraceus and Vernonia amygdalina were considered as relatively important plants for treating diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular ailments.

Conclusions: The study indicated the unique knowledge of medicinal plants used for treating diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular ailments in Fokoue and Santchou subdivisions. Our findings not only confirm uses of medicinal plants documented elsewhere, but also add interesting new information that should be confirmed through formal biochemical analysis and clinical trials.

A pluralistic approach to coaching
Authors: Utry Zsófia Anna , Palmer Stephen , McLeod John , Cooper Mick
Published: May 2022

A pluralistic approach to coaching and coaching psychology is proposed, based on Cooper and McLeod’s (2011) pluralistic counselling and psychotherapy. Since we live in increasing complexity, it can be assumed that there are many right ways to coaching. The pluralistic approach suggests that instead of leaving the coach responsible for choosing the right interventions for their coachees it might be better – not just to trust the coachee with the content – but to actively encourage them to co-determine the process. Setting up a feedback culture, and regular metacommunication, may make it more likely that high quality decision-making will be realised in practice. Such an approach also helps to develop the coachee’s collaborative capacity, which is in high demand in work and business. A pluralistic coaching approach resonates with the current zeitgeist’s values: of desiring both autonomy and belonging.
