Personal initiative behavior (PIB) is a major concept with effects on the performance of patient unit nurse managers in modern nursing organizations. PIB affects the performance excellence behavior (PEB) of individuals and increases the capacity of a person driving patient-unit competitive advantages and subsequent innovation in the workplace. This study aimed to analyze the following: 1) levels of personal initiative behavior and performance excellence behavior; and 2) influence of personal initiative behavior over performance excellence behavior. The sample consisted of 302 patient unit nurse managers who worked at international private hospitals in Thailand. The sample was selected by simple random sampling by means of drawing lots without returning the lots drawn. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires on demographic data, personal initiative behavior and performance excellence behavior. Data were analyzed with descriptive and a confirmatory factor analysis that was first conducted to validate all study variables, then, the effect of PIB on PEB was evaluated by structural equation modeling. According to the findings: 1) PIB and PEB were high level (= 4.37 and 4.49, SD = .60 and .62, respectively). PIB had direct influence on PEB (β= .88, p < .05). The model was consistent with evidence-based data (c 2 = 18.033, DF = 6, CMIN/DF = 3.000, GFI= .988, AGFI = .919, CFI = .962, RMR = .048, RMSEA= .080) and was able to predict performance excellence behavior at 78 percent (R2= .78, p<.05). Therefore, nursing organizations should have policies to develop PIB, and human resources departments in nursing organizations should provide practical training to develop personal initiative behavior, which will cause patient unit nurse managers to have performance excellence behaviors.

Groundwater is an essential resource that requires sufficient protection from human-induced pollution sources, assessments of water quality is an essential tool for water resources management strategies. the Physicochemical parameters measured were Hydrogen ion concentration (pH), Temperatures (oC), and electrical conductivity (EC), total bacteria and faecal coliform counts (Tb/fcc) were determined using the membranefiltration method; pH values was measure using a pH meter (Hach), the pH meter sensitivity was determined using buffers with a pH of 4.0 and pH of 9.0 and electrical conductivity values were taken, the TDS, total dissolved solids, measured using a meter; the SO42-, Fe2+ and NO3- were determined using Hach DR/2000 spectrophotometer. The water sampled temperatures range between 25.80 °C and 27.90 °C and arithmetic mean of 25.85 °C. The pH values of sampled wells and boreholes were in the acceptable pH range of 6.5 – 8.5, electrical conductivity values measured from the samples ranged from 94 μS per cm to 1418 μS per cm, having an arithmetic average of 370 μS/ cm; it is just one well that exceeded the permissible limit of 1000 μS per cm. The Total Dissolved Solids values ranged from 73 mg per Litre to 528 mg per Litre, an arithmetic average of 370 mg per Litre. The maximum value of 528 mg per Litre from zone B exceeded the acceptable limit of 500 mg per Litre. The concentrations are from 5 to 27×10 cfu / mL for total coliform counts and 0 to 12×10 cfu / mL for E. coli.77.2% of the samples fall within BOD values >3 mg per Litre, and 32.8% had BOD > 5 mg per Litre, signifying biogenic pollution and a possible seepage of mildly treated wastewater from sewage tanks near the wells. BOD and the bacteriological studies, for assessing biogenic pollution in water, indicated water samples are contaminated with wastewater.

Published: May 2023

Variation in annual white spruce growth (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) has been shown to be dependent on weather conditions such as air temperature and moisture availability. However, questions remain about how intra-annual variation in climate variables influence annual growth, and whether stand composition and structure can influence climate conditions and the trees’ responses to weather stress. We evaluated the importance and influence of seasonal climate on growth (annual ring width increment) of 32-year-old white spruce trees in pure and mixedwood stands in northeastern British Columbia. The importance of climate variables, and their ranked order, differed between pure and mixedwood stands. Soil water potential (SWP) during spring and summer were the main factors influencing spruce growing in both pure and mixedwood stands. However, the relative importance of each variable, their direct effects, and their interactions differed between stand types. Warm springs increased spruce growth in both stands, while warm summers increased spruce growth in the pure spruce stand but decreased growth in the mixedwood stand. Spruce growth in the pure stand was positively correlated with soil water potential during spring and summer, while spruce growth in the mixedwood stand was negatively correlated. In both stand types, there was an interplay between the amount of water available in the soil and air temperature to influence annual growth. Our findings suggest stand composition influences the resilience of spruce to drought.

Objective: To determine the role of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) in cases of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance among our population. Material and Methods: It was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted at Department of Chemical Pathology and Endocrinology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, from Jun 2022 – Dec 2022. Study is comprised of total 90 samples consisting of both males and females. Study individuals were categorized as Pre-Diabetic and Diabetic according to their fasting plasma glucose levels. Fasting plasma insulin levels were done on Advia Centaur XPT Chemiluminescence Immunoassay analyser. Serum SHBG was done on Immulite 2000 by chemiluminescent immunometric assay. Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated from fasting glucose and insulin levels. Cut off value of 2.2 was used for labelling insulin resistance. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 23. Mean and standard deviation (SD) was calculated for glucose, insulin and SHBG. T test was used to compare means of pre diabetic and diabetic groups. Pearson’s correlation was used to establish correlation between SHBG and HOMA-IR. Results: Our study included 57 males and 33 females with mean age of 47±11 years and 47±12 years, respectively. SHBG levels were significantly higher in pre-diabetics as compared to diabetics. The Pearson’s correlation between SHBG and Fasting serum insulin is weak negative (r = 0.3, p = -0.23), same is between SHBG and HOMA-IR (r = 0.25, p = -0.86), showing no significant association between SHBG and HOMA-IR among our population. However, two tailed t-test showed marked difference between means of serum SHBG, fasting serum insulin and HOMA-IR among diabetic and pre-diabetic groups with 95% confidence Interval. Conclusion: The negative association of SHBG with insulin resistance is not marked in our population. Various epidemiological, external and metabolic factors could affect and should be excluded before establishing this negative correlation between SHBG and Insulin resistance for predicting the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) Key Words: SHBG, Hyperinsulinemia, HOMA-IR, Correlation

Published: May 2023

Research has shown that early childhood care and education (ECCE) can improve children’s development. Training of in-service teachers is a good strategy to maximize the quality of ECCE, but in Mexico, teachers consider that in-service training is not particularly relevant. To counter this tendency, The Mexican Educational System designed and implemented an in-service training policy. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of individual factors on learning transfer during the COVID-19 pandemic. It followed a longitudinal, non-experimental design. Two instruments were applied at different times. In May 2021, during the COVID-19 lockdown, the Puebla Ministry of Education offered five online courses aimed at early childhood and preschool teachers. 6,562 teachers enrolled, but only 2,865 successfully completed the courses. Upon completion of the courses, we applied the transfer of learning factors model (Quesada- Pallarès et al., 2018). The model predicted that teachers devise plans and strategies for applying the contents learned, guided by their own desire to transfer. In this regard, it might be asserted that the will to transfer is steered by teachers’ autonomous drive to transfer.

Published: May 2023

A patient's medical history record holds a really important place in devising future treatment plans and making healthcare decisions. The inability to access accurate and relevant patient history can pose health problems and may even prove fatal if the wrong treatment is given. Modernity demands an automated system that can make data storage, retrieval, and analysis convenient. In Pakistan, due to the inadequacy of resources and attention, there is no centralized system for the maintenance of patient history records.Thus, there is a possibility that a patient himself/herself intentionally or unintentionally misses out on essential information that must be conveyed to the physician. This calls for a need to develop a technologically advanced solution to prevent the damages that may be caused by its absence.

Authors: Abirami.T Kothai , A Leoney.
Published: May 2023

The prime concern of the present-day dentistry is to preserve the tooth, alveolar ridge integrity and periodontium. The treatment option for patients with few teeth include overdentures, immediate dentures or transitional dentures. Transitional dentures are better treatment options as most of the patients defer getting all their teeth extracted. A relatively new type of transitional denture is Cu-sil denture. It is essentially a complete denture with holes which may or may not be lined with rubber gasket, allowing remaining natural teeth to protrude through. This case report represents a simple and economical technique to fabricate Cu-sil denture.
Numerical Simulation of Granular Flow in Concrete Batching Plant via Discrete Element Method
Authors: Salamat Jaber , Genç Bülent
Published: May 2023

A new giant concrete batching plant with the production capacity of 270m3/hr was designed, analyzed and fabricated. In this concrete batching plant, the granular materials used for high-quality products must be uniformly mixed to attain a homogenous mixture. For this, the discrete element method (DEM) was utilized to simulate the filling, mixing, and discharging processes. The Hertz-Mindlin, elastic-plastic spring-dashpot and Simplified Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (SJKR) models were used for the interaction rules among granular particles. In the light of the aforementioned models, the first simulation with different particle sizes and the second simulation with monosized particles were realized. In the first simulation, the segregation by percolation and momentum segregation were perceived during the bunker filling stage, as well as the seeded granulation, which occurred in the mixer when the radii of particles were not monosized. Furthermore, in the second simulation, convective, diffusive and shear mixing mechanisms were observed and consequently the quantification of the mixing index was calculated using the lacey and miles statistical methods. At last, the active regions formed in the mixer were investigated by taking the velocity of the particles as reference during the mixing stages as well as the mixture throughput from the transfer chute.
O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL COMO DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL PARA A GARANTIA DE DIREITOS AMBIENTAIS
Authors: Horszczaruk Jean Pedro
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo discute os antecedentes históricos das conferências ambientais e seu impacto na formação de políticas internacionais voltadas para o desenvolvimento sustentável. O período pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial marcou o início da consciência ambiental, com muitos países buscando equilibrar o desenvolvimento econômico com a conservação da natureza. As Nações Unidas realizaram várias conferências ambientais globais, incluindo a Conferência de Estocolmo, Eco-92, Rio+10 e Rio+20, que produziram documentos importantes em matéria ambiental. Através desses avanços, o desenvolvimento sustentável foi considerado essencial para conciliar o progresso das nações com a preservação do planeta, além de, dentro do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, ostentar importância igual a de direito fundamental, afim de garantir a efetividade do direito ambiental, direito de todos que é considerado vital para a proteção da qualidade de vida e da natureza. Ainda, foi possível visualizar a importância da educação ambiental e de políticas públicas para promover o desenvolvimento sustentável e atingir o equilíbrio entre as necessidades humanas e ambientais, visto que a simples vontade de mudança e alterações legislativas não colocaram o Brasil no caminho correto para a preservação ambiental.

Glued laminated wood is a mechanically processed wood product that requires strict quality control. Non-destructive evaluation can be employed on an industrial scale to improve the quality control process, allowing greater uniformity of raw materials and their by-products. The quality in the manufacture and the structural performance of elements in MLC can be guaranteed by the performance of tests, which have the function of characterizing the physical and mechanical properties of the parts. This work aims to present the main non-destructive methods used by glued laminated wood (MLC) to obtain data. The study presents the visual classification and non-destructive methods used for structural classification, including static flexion, machine stress rating (MSR), impulse excitation method, stress wave, and ultrasound. It is concluded that the choice of the method to be used in the mechanical characterization should be based on the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of each one, in line with the definition of the one that best suits the needs, the technique, and the cost of acquisition and maintenance.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a complex disease characterized by inflammation of the spine and large joints. Considering the various losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in individuals with chronic diseases due to cancellations of appointments and treatments, telemonitoring or telecare has become a good alternative for patients with AS, providing continuity of care. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of telemonitored exercises in patients with AS during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Seven patients diagnosed with AS were included, evaluated, and followed up via messaging application. In the evaluations, several clinical issues were investigated, such as pain (VAS), stiffness, sleep, functionality (BASFI), quality of life (HAQ-S), and exercise frequency. The prescription and telemonitoring of home exercises occurred for 10 months by sending evaluation forms, videos with exercise guidelines, and monitoring via messaging application. Results: The frequency of exercises performed by the patients was a median between 165 and 217 minutes per week. No patient reported any adverse effect to the exercises, and it was possible to observe the improvement of pain and morning stiffness when comparing the variables of the initial and final evaluations, but without statistically significant differences. A strong correlation was found between functionality, morning pain, and momentary pain, as well as between momentary pain and stiffness time. Conclusion: Patients with AS had adherence to telemonitored exercises, as well as important benefits regarding functionality, sleep quality, morning pain intensity, quality of life, pain, and stiffness. In the patients with AS studied it was observed that the lower the pain intensity and the time of morning stiffness, the better the functionality.
METISA PLANA: DANGEROUS PEST OF OIL PALM AND ITS MITIGATION BY TRAPPING OF MALE MOTHS USING QUAD PHEROMONE TRAPS
Authors:   National Association of Smallholders Malaysia, MOHD NOR KHAIRUL ANWAR
Published: May 2023

Good management in oil palm plantations can certainly produce high yields. An attack of pests such as bagworms will cause a decrease in the yield. The phenomenon of pest attacks on oil palm plantings has been given special attention by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB). The MPOB has established a systematic census system and integrated control method of bagworm through Quad pheromone traps. The objective of this study is to explore the procedures for using and installing Quad pheromone traps in the field. In addition to being environmentally friendly and easy to use by oil palm growers, this method is seen to be cheaper and effective in controlling attack by bagworms for a long period of time. Other than that, technological knowledge in dealing with the issue of oil palm pest attacks, especially the bagworm, needs to be practiced by all parties so that it does not affect the income of smallholders. The use of this technology can certainly help smallholders overcome difficulties if there is a drop in the price of palm oil. Keywords: Bagworm, integrated pest management, independent smallholders, bagworm census, Quad pheromone traps.

Authors: Shrivastav Gita Gangadharan , Aiyer Hema Malini , Rawat Garima
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Warthin’s tumour (WT) previously known as papillary cystadeno-lymphomatosum is the most frequent ‘monomorphic’ adenoma of the major salivary glands, representing about 2–15% of all parotid tumours. It is a benign epithelial salivary gland neoplasm affecting elderly individuals and commonly involves the inferior pole of parotid glands.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important legumes in the developed as well as developing countries of the world due to its amazing source of dietary proteins. The present experiment was conducted at Research Farm, RVSKVV, College of Agriculture; Gwalior (M.P.).  Forty chickpea genotypes were evaluated during Rabi 2020-21 in Randomized block design with two replications. The samples were analyzed for the analysis of peroxidase, Superoxide Dismutase and some of the key biomolecules like total sugars and proline content. The Total sugar ranged from 16.8 mgg-1 (RVSVT PS-2019- 201) to 24.9 mgg-1 (RVSVT PS-2019- 214), proline varied from 1.49 μmolg-1 (RVSVTK-2019- 104) to 2.91 μmolg-1 (RVSVT PS-2019- 213), superoxide dismutase ranged from 8.2 nmolg-1 (RVSVT PS-2019- 211) to 20.1nmolg-1 (RVSVT PS-2019- 205) and lipid peroxide varied from 1.04 nmolg-1 (RVSVTK-2019-101) to 1.92 nmolg-1 (RVSVTD-2019- 4, RVSVTD-2019- 10). Findings of the present investigation may help to choose better genotypes with useful biochemical contents for future crop improvement.

Local wisdom is a valuable heritage of society; its existence maintains the community's identity. Coffee, which is the history of the Arabs, is a priceless heritage and local wisdom of national identity in the Arabian peninsula. Saudi Arabia nevertheless maintains this local wisdom and has strengthened it as a valuable identity. However, with diversification rather than local wisdom itself, it will enrich identity references, in this case with third-wave acculturation, which has become a global trend in the coffee value chain.

This paper is a qualitative descriptive which, through the literature, observations, site visits and interviews, which were analysed, concluded that the acculturation of coffee in Saudi Arabia has become more diversified and strengthens the sustainable economy in the coffee value chain from farm to cup. Moreover, it is envisioned that Saudi Coffee 2022 will be able to mitigate the coffee sustainability challenges that will arise in the next generation.

Merleau-Ponty: percepción, corporalidad y mundo
Authors: Pérez Riobello Asier
Published: May 2023

Se exponen las líneas maestras de la fenomenología de la percepción de Merleau-Ponty, desde sus planteamientos iniciales partiendo de los últimos trabajos de Edmund Husserl hasta las conclusiones finales, donde se muestra que la fenomenología termina convirtiéndose fundamentalmente en una filosofía de la corporalidad y la cotidianeidad compartida socialmente. La percepción es entendida por Merleau-Ponty como un acto inteligente que siempre va acompañado por un horizonte que remite a nuestro cuerpo y experiencia vital, de modo que los conceptos de espacio y tiempo se ven enriquecidos por la idea de un mundo de vida preexistente; un mundo que es visible gracias a nexos de convivencia social intersubjetivos y antepredicativos.
Will Sin Taxes Deliver us from Disease? An initial Assessment of the Sin Tax Law
Authors:   Professor, School of Economics, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quimbo Stella Luz
Published: May 2023

In 2012, sin taxes in the Philippines were re-structured, paving the way for high, unitary taxes by 2017. The i:estructuring was intended to discourage the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, thus, addressing the concerns of high smoking prevalence and increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases such as diseases of the heart and malignant neoplasms. I propose a framework for tracking health status improvements and then use various population-based survey data to assess one pathway from sin taxes to better health, i.e., reduced tobacco consumption. Higher sin taxes in 2013 seem to have reduced total consumption by not more than 10 percent. A larger impact on cigarette consumption can be expected beyond 2013, particularly, in 2017 with uniform and higher tax rates. Systematic and coordinated monitoring of tobacco consumption is needed to ensure maximum and sustained health gains from sin taxes.

The results of the study show that the Obligation to Study and Seek Knowledge from the Perspective of the Prophet's Hadith includes the Hadith of Bukhari No. 73 which contains the permissibility of hasad towards knowledgeable people, practicing and teaching others. Then Sunan Ibnu Majah Hadith No. 224 contains obligations for every Muslim wherever and whenever without any restrictions. And finally, Muttafaq A'laih (Bukhari Hadith No. 100 and Muslim Hadith No. 2673) contains a warning to the people of the Prophet Muhammad that knowledge will be withdrawn slowly from its owner, therefore every Muslim is required to study to minimize the appointment of leaders/imams from ignorant people uneducated.
