Authors: Valarmathi Dr. K. , Sasireka R. , Rengaraj T. , Ramalakshmi K. , Karthikeyan Dr. G.
Published: May 2024

The solar energy is one of the very popular non-conventional energy. The Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is depending on irradiation (light energy) and heat energy (resistance). Non-conventional energy basis is maintained on all zones of expertise, particularly the variation of solar energy for numerous resolutions. The current tentative study is approved out to advance the competence of PV/T solar still with improved evaporation and compression technique. A DC power-driven blower is static inside a solitary slope solar still which growths the commotion of evaporated vapor since the salty water confidential the solar still while the condensation is enhanced with shelter chilling method. A hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) energetic solar still and a conservative passive solar still with solo incline were designed, fabricated and investigated at three dissimilar water pits. For the advanced making of distillate water, a heater driven by solar (PV) was combined in the planned hybrid energetic still. Solar PV module was chilled by the salt water which enhance the productivity of the solar PV as well as the distillate water making. The everyday harvest from the planned hybrid energetic (PV/T) solar still is 6 times higher than the conservative passive still. This novel system of renewable energy related power and distillate water making is extremely self-supportable in the isolated zones. From the investigational learning it is clear that, the planned hybrid energetic (PV/T) solar still provides an improved complete thermal and electrical competence, that is nearly 25% higher than the conservative passive one

Literary studies have evolved over the past few decades to include popular culture fields as text. Proponents of this inclusion argue that songs, memes, tweets, local dialects, and slogans say as much about people and cultures as traditional texts – perhaps even more. The opinion is that, by over-relying on traditional text for literary fodder, scholars shut themselves off from current and relevant information about the rapidly evolving literary and cultural landscape. The disregard for popular culture also turns away a younger audience that seems to prefer a more informal approach to art and literature. Thus, the reading of popular cultures as text is forcing the literary field to re-evaluate the fundamental principles that define its work. Literary scholars have to rethink their traditional ideals of writing, reading, and teaching texts. Yet, there remains a reluctance to accept such informal forms of communication as memes and tweets as legitimate literature. Popular culture is not well regarded in literary studies and some stakeholders fear its classification as text could dilute the impact of the field. This paper investigates this trepidation by analyzing how reading popular culture fields as text impacts the identity of text in literary studies. Based on selected tenets of Literary and Cultural Studies (LCS) Research, particularly cultural literacy, this paper examines the legitimacy of different popular culture formats to determine if they hold enough value to warrant literary analysis. The author argues that many forms of popular culture deserve a closer look, especially through a literary lens, because they reveal the cultures, beliefs, and practices of their audience. He suggests that the incorporation of popular culture into literary studies offers many opportunities for growth and discovery but only if implemented diligently. Finally, this paper investigates why the literary field is reluctant to read popular cultures as text and how scholars can navigate this inclusion to create a more cohesive definition of text.

Japanese Wooden Plate Denture as Origin of Suction Retention
Authors: Yoshida Kazuya
Published: May 2024

The modern theory of complete denture retention using suction was applied to wooden plate dentures in Japan from the first half of the 16th century, which is an astonishing achievement since it was clinically applied in North America and Europe in the latter half of the 19th century nearly 300 years later. Wooden dentures are unique to Japan resulting from skilled Japanese craftsmanship and are not found in other countries. We comprehensively reviewed reports on wooden plate dentures, analyzed 145 complete and partial dentures, and discussed their history. Japanese wooden plate dentures are mainly made of box wood, and artificial teeth are made of pagodite, ivory, and natural teeth. Small nails were driven into the molar region. Many existing dentures revealed attrition on the occlusal faces, thereby indicating that the wearers were able to masticate sufficiently. Wooden plate dentures have been used for 400 years in the early 20th century. Although Japanese wooden dentures have not been mentioned in the history of dentistry in Western literature, they comprise an important part of the history of denture development.

Tinjauan tentang Cacat Badan atau Penyakit Sebagai Alasan Perceraian dalam Praktik di Pengadilan Agama Dihubungkan dengan Undang-Undang Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam
Authors: Zahrah Ramadhanti Kusumah Asrifa , Daru Nugroho Bambang , Rachmainy Linda
Published: May 2024

Kadangkala suami istri gagal mewujudkan kedamaian dalam rumah tangga, sehingga jalan terakhir yang mereka tempuh adalah dengan perceraian. Salah satu alasan untuk mengajukan perceraian adalah apabila salah satu pihak mendapat cacat badan atau penyakit seperti dalam Putusan Pengadilan Agama Cimahi Nomor 931/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Cmi dan Putusan Pengadilan Agama Bandung Nomor 442/Pdt.G/2022/PA.Bdg, namun, hakim kerap menjatuhkan putusan pada kasus perceraian yang dilatarbelakangi oleh cacat badan atau penyakit dengan alasan perselisihan dan pertengkaran. Adapun penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami cacat badan atau penyakit yang dapat dijadikan sebagai alasan perceraian di Pengadilan Agama dan menentukan bagaimana pertimbangan hukum terhadap perselisihan dan pertengkaran terus menerus yang dilatarbelakangi cacat badan atau penyakit sebagai alasan perceraian ditinjau dari Undang-Undang Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam. Penulisan skripsi ini menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi penelitian yakni berupa deskriptif analitis. Metode ini didasarkan pada penelitian kepustakaan untuk mendapatkan data sekunder di bidang hukum yang dilengkapi dengan studi lapangan melalui wawancara dengan narasumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hakim menilai adanya kewajiban biologis yang tidak dijalani. Kebutuhan biologis di sini dapat terhalangi apabila salah satu pihak menderita impoten atau kista, maka apabila pemenuhan nafkah batin oleh suami kepada istri ataupun sebaliknya tidak tercapai, dengan alasan tersebut hubungan rumah tangga mereka dapat retak dan menyebabkan adanya perselisihan atau pertengkaran terus menerus. Pertimbangan hakim untuk tidak menggunakan Pasal 19 huruf e PP No. 9 Tahun 1975 atau Pasal 116 huruf e KHI karena karena dinilai tidak sesuai dengan moral dan cacat badan atau penyakit hanya sebagai alasan dari perselisihan atau pertengkaran terus menerus

Published: May 2024

Due to habitat loss or changes in management, populations of Adenophora liliifolia (L.) A. DC. in Europe are increasingly endangered. Therefore, this plant has the status of an endangered or extremely endangered species in most European countries. It is defined as a "target species" or a "species of European concern" whose conservation requires designation of special areas of conservation. A. liliifolia is a rare plant species on the Balkan Peninsula, found only in the Western Balkans: in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, and Serbia. In Serbia, it is believed to have disappeared from its western region, specifically in the Derventa canyon and Grlac on Mount Tara. However, it is in good condition at its only known site in the Ibar river gorge in southwestern Serbia. During the revision of the herbarium material in the BEOU herbarium, a specimen of Adenophora liliifolia was discovered. It was collected in the Lim gorge near Gostun. Field research conducted in that area revealed a population of this species in an atypical habitat, next to the main road to Montenegro, in the vicinity of Brodarevo. The search for new sites of this internationally important species in the Lim Gorge, from Gostun and Brodarevo, and further to Ustibar, will continue in the coming period.

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections in the elderly
Authors: Dimković Nada
Published: May 2024

A healthy urinary tract is not a sterile environment but is inhabited by diverse microorganisms that change according to environmental factors and the patient's condition. Elderly patients are predisposed to urinary tract infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria, and distinguishing between these two conditions is challenging. They are specific in several issues: the pathogenesis of infection and causative agents, diagnostic procedures, applied therapy, and preventive measures. Proper interpretation of symptoms, sampling of materials for analysis, and interpretation of results are of great importance. Correct procedures allow sparing patients from unnecessary treatment and complications of antibiotic therapy, as well as reducing bacterial resistance.
The relationship between menopause and bone health
Authors: Bjelica Artur
Published: May 2024

The paper describes menopausal events and their impact on bone health. Physiological events in the menopausal period as well as the pathophysiological basis for the occurrence of osteoporosis were considered. Postmenopausal women are at high risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures. The genesis of this problem lies in two factors - aging and loss of gonadal function, or their combination. Senile osteoporosis is associated with the aging process of the organism, and postmenopausal osteoporosis is primarily a consequence of estrogen deficiency. Osteoporosis is the main cause of bone fractures in the elderly population. Numerous markers of bone formation and breakdown have been described as biochemical markers of osteoporosis. For diagnostic purposes, double X-ray absorptiometry of the hip and spine is used, which is the gold standard in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Alternatively, quantitative ultrasonography can be performed, which is a good method, but the measurements are not sufficiently precise as in other imaging techniques. An overview of the therapeutic possibilities of measures to prevent osteoporosis in the postmenopausal period is presented.
Association of gene polymorphisms in interleukin-6 with the occurrence of cerebral palsy in children with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy on birth
Authors: Putniković Dunja , Pančurov Aleksandra , Radojević Matija , Cerovac Nataša
Published: May 2024

Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is one of the most common neurologic diseases in children and an important cause of cerebral palsy (CP). It is a permanent, non-progressive motor disorder that results in a delay in psychomotor development. Brain damage is followed by the activation of the immune system, and increased cytokine concentration in the plasma. Cytokines are circulating soluble proteins, mediators of communication for immune cells. The main biological activity of interleukin-6 (IL-6) is the stimulation of the liver to produce acute-phase proteins. Aim: The frequency of genotypes and alleles of the IL-6 gene polymorphism will be determined, analyzing the possible connection between IL-6 gene polymorphism and the onset of CP. Material and methods: This study involved 117 newborns who were treated in the Clinic of Neurology and Psychiatry for Children and Youth and the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics of the University Clinical Centre of Serbia in Belgrade. Data was collected for each patient regarding their gender, gestational age, birth weight and Apgar score. Genotyping of rs1800795 in the IL-6 gene was performed by real-time PCR using a standardized TaqMan SNP assay. The difference in frequency of genotypes and alleles was analyzed by the X2 test. Results: The frequencies of genotypes in patients with CP were: 86.5% for GC + GG and 13.5% for CC, and in patients without CP were: 84.6% for GG + GC and 15.4% for CC. The frequency of alleles in patients with CP for G allele was 63.5% and for C allele 36.5%. In the group without CP, 56.2% had G allele and 43.8% C allele. No statistical significance has been demonstrated. Conclusion: No connection between IL-6 gene polymorphism with the development of cerebral palsy in newborns diagnosed with HIE at birth was demonstrated.
Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the world and Serbia
Authors: Blagojević Milena , Marković-Denić Ljiljana , Štajner Tijana
Published: May 2024

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases caused by an obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. It is estimated that one-third of the human population is infected with this parasite. In immunocompetent subjects, the infection is mostly asymptomatic or is presented with flu-like symptoms, but in fetuses and immunocompromised patients, the infection may even be life-threatening. The prevalence of T. gondii infection varies among different countries of the world (0.5 - 87.7%) and within different regions of the same country. In Africa, the prevalence is the highest (20.8 - 87.7%), in Asia is the lowest (0.5 - 82.6%), while in Europe, the prevalence of toxoplasmosis ranges from low in the North to moderate in the South of the continent (8.2% - 59.0%). The worldwide decline in the prevalence of T. gondii infection has been sustained over the past few decades. In Serbia, the prevalence of toxoplasmosis tended to increase from the 1960s to the 1980s followed by a dramatic decline after that period, as in the entire Europe. The most prominent decline in the prevalence of T. gondii infection was recorded in the period from 1988 to 2007 in the population of women of reproductive age from 86% to 32.5%. The decreasing tendency of the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in Serbia remains continuous even after that period, further confirmed by the latest results of research conducted in 2017 - 2018 in the population of blood donors in Belgrade (20.5%) and in the general population of Vojvodina during the 2008 - 2021 period (20%). Despite the encouraging epidemiological data that indicate the trend of continuous decline in the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in the world and our country, it is still necessary to conduct additional research to identify specific risk factors that contribute to the decrease in the prevalence of T. gondii infection in the population.
Role of dehydration on sport performance and recommendations for rehydration
Authors: Vukašinović Danka , Maksimović Miloš , Tanasković Slobodan
Published: May 2024

The acute and chronic effects of dehydration on athletes' health are well known, but it is less known about the relationship between dehydration and sports performance. There is an overall consensus in the literature that dehydration ≥ 2% body mass represents a threshold at which endurance, as aerobic performance, becomes impaired. Dehydration degrades aerobic performance by various mechanisms, such as a decrease in VO2 max, a decrease in circulatory volume and consequent decrease in cardiac stroke volume. At higher levels of dehydration, there is an increase in heart rate, body temperature, carbohydrate oxidation and muscle glycogenolysis. The effect of dehydration on anaerobic sports performance, such as muscle strength and power, is less known. The high osmotic stress that usually accompanies high levels of intracellular dehydration can modulate the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, alter the neuronal firing of osmoreceptor cells in the hypothalamus, and potentially affect the excitability of motor output pathways. Studies have shown that acute dehydration impairs muscle strength and endurance and increases the perception of fatigue but without changes in markers of central and peripheral neuromuscular function. In addition to the physical, dehydration also affects the mental performance of athletes. Symptoms of dehydration (dry mouth, thirst, headache, fatigue) affect the athletes' cognitive functions and their cognitive resilience. Therefore, personalized rehydration strategies play a key role in athletes' safety during sporting activities, as well as in optimizing sports performance. In this paper, the role of dehydration on physical and mental athletes' performance will be reviewed, as well as the latest recommendations for adequate rehydration.
Frequency of out-of-pocket payment for healthcare: Age and sex differences
Authors: Vojvodić Katarina , Terzić-Šupić Zorica
Published: May 2024

Out-of-pocket payments for health care as one of the ways of health care financing is present in numerous countries and can lead to a financial burden of healthcare. This could lead to restrictions on other necessary goods and lower the expected standard of living. The frequency of out-of-pocket payments is often associated with gender and age. Biological and socio-economic differences between the genders and differences that arise in the aging process can influence the more frequent occurrence of financial burdens due to out-of-pocket payments. There is a difference between men and women aged 65 and over in the prevalence of chronic and malignant diseases, differences in the use of health care, self-assessment of health, poverty, financial independence, and the type of household. All mentioned can lead to a different frequency of out-of-pocket payments and the financial burden of health care.

Published: May 2024

Introduction. Inclusive practices largely depend on teachers and their opinions about the educational inclusion of children with developmental disabilities. It has been proven that teachers' opinion on inclusion depends on the type of developmental disability. Objectives. The primary goal of the research is to determine teacher opinions about the inclusion of children with Down syndrome in regular schools. An additional goal was to examine differences in teacher opinions concerning factors such as gender, age, length of service, experience in inclusive education, and education on how to work with children with developmental disabilities. Methods. The research sample was convenient and consisted of 70 teachers from Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The teacher's opinion was examined with a questionnaire constructed for this research. Results. Results show that teachers have favorable opinions about the inclusion of children with Down syndrome in regular schools on overall scores. Teacher opinions differ on gender and length of service. Female teachers have a more favorable opinion than male teachers, while teachers with over thirty years of work experience have a negative one. Teacher opinions do not differ concerning age, experience in inclusive education, and education on how to work with children with developmental disabilities. Conclusion. There is a need for systematic and continuous work on inclusive policy, culture, and practice in schools, as education of teachers on the characteristics and methods of how to work with children with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities.

Introduction. The COVID 19 pandemic and the earthquake, have brought many difficulties for everyone. Families of children with disabilities, face even more difficulties. Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate the coping strategies of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and to determine how they are related to mothers' stress during the first lockdown in Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the capital was shaken by an earthquake, so we further investigated the effects of the earthquake on maternal stress. Method. Coping strategies were measured using the Croatian version of the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales. Stress was measured using the Croatian version of the Perceived Stress Scale. The study was conducted online. The mothers of primary school children (90 of children with autism spectrum disorder and 67 of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) completed the questionnaires. Results. The results of the repeated measures analysis of variance showed that both the mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder and those of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder used the reframing strategy most frequently and the mobilizing family to acquire and accept help least frequently. The results of the linear regression analysis showed that reframing and acquiring social support were statistically significant predictors of maternal stress. There were no differences in maternal stress from the earthquake-affected areas compared to other parts of Croatia. Conclusion. The results indicate a need for psychological support for parents of children with disabilities, especially in crisis situations.

Published: May 2024

Bacterial cells adhere to mobile phone surfaces and could form organized colonies. Once the bacteria move to the mobile phone they can live well because these surfaces are hard to clean. This research, included isolation of pathogenic bacteria from mobile phones of Knowledge University students. A total of 100 mobile phones of Knowledge university staff and students were selected for this study. The single sterile swab stick was moistened with sterile normal saline solution and moved over the surfaces of mobile phones. The swab sticks were immediately transported to the laboratory. All swabs were cultured in (Nutrient agar), Then incubated for 24 hours. The obtained bacterial colonies were subjected to Gram stain, and colonial characteristics for their identification. Biochemical Examination for selected colonies has been done. From a total 100 mobile phone swabs. A total of 138 bacterial isolates were recognized as: 47 bacterial colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, 33 bacterial colonies of Staphylococcus epidermidis, 23 bacterial colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 19 bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli, 7 bacterial colonies of Streptococcus spp., 6 bacterial colonies of Bacillus subtilis, 2 bacterial colonies of Neisseria and 1 bacterial colonies of Enterobacter aerogene. The study revealed that bacteria can survive on mobile phones of students and the contaminated mobile phones are able to transport microbes that may be able to produce disease. There is a need for preventive care to reduce the impact of contaminated mobile phones on the spread of microbes and control measures should be applicable for this reason.

Authors: Zefenkey Zean F.
Published: May 2024

Nutritional anemia is one of the most common types of anemia worldwide and is considered a major public health problem especially in developing countries. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors of anemia among university students in the Kurdistan region. A cross-sectional study of 151 healthy university’s students aged between 18 and 28 years was performed between November and February 2019-2020. Blood was collected to measure hemoglobin, and a questionnaire was designed to determine participants’ nutrition habits. A Pearson’s chi-square test was used to reveal anemia risk factors. The anemia prevalence was 17.9%. The factors associated with an elevated anemia risk were inadequate vegetables and red meat intakes, in addition to drinking tea after meals. This study revealed that a considered part of university students have anemia that might become worse by malnutrition. Our results suggest that anemia can be prevented by encouraging the consumption of rich dietary iron, folic acid, and B12 sources and by raising awareness of the food and drinks which facilitate or hinder the bioavailability of these nutrients.

High school students’ attitudes towards diverse cultures and ethnicities
Authors: Yi Audrin , Moran Meghan
Published: May 2024

As the world becomes more diversified and globalized, it is important to better understand how diversity affects our understanding and perceptions of people around us. Despite the continual increase of diversity within the United States, ethnic groups are still severely segregated in public schools, and this segregation is often accompanied by feelings of dislike and/or fear amongst students. With the rapid growth in number of minorities in K-12 education in mind, we investigated how high school students’ ethnic and individual backgrounds affect their attitudes towards the integration of diverse cultures and ethnicities in their learning at school. We also examined their social relationships with others of such diverse backgrounds. Sixty-seven 9th and 10th grade students participated in a survey that took about 15 minutes to complete. Their ethnic and racial background included White (24 students), Native American (Navajo) (15 students), Hispanic (14 students), and Mixed races (14 students). We performed inferential statistics for mean comparisons and correlational analyses. Results showed that although students generally perceived other cultures and ethnic groups positively (70-80%), Hispanic students felt judged by their peers in class due to their ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. Moreover, 20-30% of the students reported their culture not being well-embraced by their school or their friends (especially Native American) and expressed their ‘dislike’ for some ethnic groups. Positive correlations emerged between the number of multi-cultural friends and students’ positive cultural attitudes.

Everyone has their own way of expressing their relationship with pets like cats. The process of creating a work of art is closely related to the experiences experienced such as emotional closeness with cats and experiences full of feelings and thoughts in everyday life that are excited. This uniqueness gives rise to a sense of expressing it through creativity and imagination into the form of paintings using various techniques, media, taking into account the elements and principles of art. There is a method from Alma M. Hawkins as a reference at the stage of making this painting, including exploration, improvisation, and forming. The artwork created displays visuals that lead to naive forms with freedom in processing shapes and expressing lines that do not depend on the original object.

Published: May 2024

The article assesses the importance of the Digital Business Presentations (DBP) in science and teaching in the context of contemporary communication, dominated by the digital approach, not only in the field of analysis, but also in the visualization of information. In an era when we increasingly use computer tools (programs and applications) and appreciate short but interesting content, digital presentations have become important for both business and science. Using various methods and techniques, the DBP allows the presentation of complicated ideas in an uncomplicated way. They usually last from 3 to 10 minutes and focus on the essence of the concept of a new solution and its business application. The main aim of the article is to review and propose new tools that enable students to practically present their ideas related to various subjects, such as Entrepreneurship, Logistics, Marketing etc. The article also shows some trends in communication, where knowledge of the basic values and principles of the DBP affects the way we currently present innovative ideas on the discussion forum in business.

Evaluar la salud oral, los hábitos alimentarios y el estado nutricional de estudiantes universitarios presenta un desafío significativo debido a su impacto en el estilo de vida. En este estudio, se llevó a cabo un análisis cuantitativo y observacional utilizando el método de muestreo aleatorio simple (n=187). Se realizó una encuesta para determinar los horarios y frecuencias de consumo de alimentos, y se evaluó la salud oral mediante el índice Silness & amp; loe, así como medidas antropométricas para el estado nutricional. Los resultados indicaron que la mayoría de los estudiantes desayunan en horarios adecuados, pero consumen la comida fuera de los horarios recomendados. Respecto a la salud oral, el 69% presentó un índice silness & amp; loe Regular, mientras que el IMC se encontró dentro del rango normal para el 75% de la población objeto de estudio. En conclusión, aunque la salud oral y el IMC son adecuados en general, se observa que los hábitos alimentarios no son óptimos, no presentan una dieta variada y prevalece el alto consumo de carbohidratos.

La finalidad de este texto es analizar cómo la pandemia ha afectado la forma en que se enseña y se aprende a escribir, con desafíos surgidos de la transición hacia la educación virtual tanto para estudiantes como para profesores. Debido a la pandemia, la enseñanza de la escritura se ha trasladado a entornos virtuales, lo que ha generado dificultades en la calidad de la enseñanza y aprendizaje de esta. La metodología de la investigación es el Método PRISMA, mediante el cual se obtuvieron los siguientes hallazgos; la falta de acceso a recursos digitales y las disparidades socioeconómicas en la educación virtual. La falta de acceso adecuado a tecnología y la limitada interacción entre estudiantes y profesores han tenido un impacto negativo en el proceso de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, algunos expertos sugieren que la pandemia también ha sido una oportunidad para innovar en la enseñanza. La necesidad de emplear la tecnología para mejorar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la lectura y escritura, así como la importancia de la colaboración entre la escuela y la familia para superar los desafíos provocados por la pandemia. La transición a la educación en línea ha reducido las oportunidades de practicar la escritura a mano, lo que puede disminuir la destreza motora requerida para escribir correctamente. El estrés asociado con la pandemia también puede influir negativamente en la coordinación motora y la concentración, lo que afecta la calidad de la escritura.
