Authors: Tripp Paula , Olle Mary , Jones Michelle
Published: May 2022

With a growth in online course offering in recent years, there is much research focusing on student performance and student learning outcomes. However, research focusing on characteristics and achievement in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) higher education courses was not found. The purpose of this study was to compare student characteristics and achievements in online and oncampus FCS courses. The original study collected data from students enrolled in either the online or face-to-face section of the same junior-level course so variables were consistent. The study was later extended to another university using the same research set-up, but with a freshman-level course. This small, limited study provides preliminary insights that cannot be generalized, yet allow FCS faculty to distinguish student characteristics and achievements associated with on-campus and online courses. While student characteristics varied slightly, student achievement for online and on-campus students were similar. Additional studies are needed to provide more in-depth comparisons of these delivery systems. Since few FCS studies have reported this topic, the findings from this study provide baseline data for designing more in-depth comparisons of students.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most serious acute complications of diabetes mellitus. The mortality rate remains high in developing countries and among misdiagnosed and treated patients. Therefore targeting early diagnosis and effective treatment programs is vital to save the life of patients. The aim of the study is to assess diabetic ketoacidosis treatment outcome and associated factors among adult patients at Adama Hospital Medical College emergency department and medical wards, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Cross sectional study based on record review of 357 adult diabetic ketoacidosis patients was selected using simple random sampling. Data was collected using checklist from medical registrations. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20 and EPI-info version 7 statistical packages. Majority of the patients (65.30%) had two or more episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis and the main reasons for recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis were infectious illness (69.50%) and insulin discontinuation (14.80%). Regarding treatment outcomes of diabetic ketoacidosis patients, majority of them (84.90%) discharged with improved. Those diabetic ketoacidosis patients treated with more than six liters fluid replacement in the 1st 24 hours had better treatment outcome by two times as compared to less than three liters fluid replacement (AOR=2.41 (1.58-10.02). Similarly, those patients who got more than sixty international unit insulin doses in the 1st 24hrs had better treatment outcome by ten times (AOR=10.68 (3.88- 20.64)) when compared to less than forty international unit insulin administration. In addition, DKA patients who got supplemental potassium showed five times treatment outcome improvement (AOR= 5.30 (2.11-13.32) than for those potassium replacement was not done. Even if majority of diabetic ketoacidosis patients treated at Adama Hospital Medical College emergency room and medical wards were discharged with improvement, early treatment of infection, ample fluid replacement and insulin dose adjustment during illness need to be encouraged.

Introduction: Biologic DMARDs (Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drugs) have shown to be effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) resistant to the use of synthetic DMARDs. The primary goal of this study was to assess the long-term safety of the use of tocilizumab in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, moderate to severe disease activity. The secondary goal was to assess the efficiency of tocilizumab in achieving and maintaining clinical remission of the disease. Methods: ML28133 is a long-term, extended study of 13 patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with tocilizumab. Two patients were male (15.4%), 11 (84.61%) female. The average age of patients was 53.27+/-10.68. Patients received 8 mg/kg tocilizumab i.v. every four weeks, 104 weeks overall. Safety was assessed following side effects, blood tests, physical examination and vital signs. Efficiency was assessed by achieving and maintaining clinical remission according to DAS28 (Disease Activity Score 28), global assessment of disease activity, VAS score and HAQ-DI (Health Activity Score) questionnaire. Results: Incidence of side effects was 76.92%. Infections were of special interest and were most common (15.3%). Four patients had serious adverse events, three of which associated with tocilizumab, and therapy was stopped. In 11 (84.6%) of the 13 treated patients clinical remission was achieved at times. At the end of the study, 8 out of 9 patients were in remission. Conclusion: The results have shown significant therapeutic effect of tocilizumab even in the most severe forms of the disease, which gives hope for its use as a monotherapy.

Published: May 2022

Background and Aims: A delay in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a risk of developing complications and surgery. This study was done to evaluate the factors and impact of diagnostic delay on IBD patients in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Gastroenterology of a tertiary care center in Bangladesh. Diagnostic delay was defined as the period from symptom onset to diagnosis of IBD. Results: Of the total 112 IBD patients 50 (44.6%) had Crohn’s disease CD and 62 (55.4%) had ulcerative colitis (UC). Males (67.9%) were predominant in the study. The median diagnostic delay was longer for patients with CD compared with patients with UC (median 24 versus 12 months; P-value 0.025). Rectal bleeding as presenting feature and male gender were negatively and positively associated with the longer diagnostic delay of IBD respectively (P-value <0.05). Of the patients with CD 14 (28%) had a history of IBD-related surgery and 7 (14%) had a history of perianal fistula. The presence of intestinal strictures, surgery, and perianal fistula at the time of diagnosis was significantly associated with long diagnostic delay for CD. Conclusion: Absence of rectal bleeding as presenting symptoms and also the male gender were the significant factors related to the longer diagnostic delay of IBD in our study. Long diagnostic delay is associated with an increased rate of complications in IBD, especially in CD.

Published: May 2022

Background & Objective: The lag time of diagnosis of axial spondyloarthrits varies from country to country. The aim of this study was to find out the lag time of diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis in Bangladesh based on the patients visiting the morning Rheumatology OPD of a tertiary-care hospital. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Rheumatology of Enam Medical College & Hospital, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh from October, 2018 to December, 2019. Ninety six patients with axial spondyloarthritis were recruited and they were enquired about their ages, places of residence, educational qualifications and duration of axial pain as well as peripheral pain. The participants also underwent estimation of ESR by Westergren method. Results: Mean age of the participants was 39.98 years. The mean and median lag times of diagnosis were 58.17 and 36 months respectively. The lag time of diagnosis followed a nonnormal (right-skewed) distribution. There was no significant difference between males and females (p≈0.921), between rural and urban participants (p≈0.221), between those with and without peripheral involvement (p≈0.387) as well as between those with and without elevated ESR according to Mann-Whitney U test. But the median lag time in those who were highly educated, ie. those who completed at least a bachelor degree was significantly (p≈0.016) shorter than that in those who were not highly educated. Conclusion: There is a considerable median delay in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis in Bangladesh. Further research is required to identify the factors contributing to the delay so that those can be addressed to shorten the lag time.

Interfaith marriages in a pluralistic society often occur due to the diversity of religious adherents in Indonesia. The problem is that when the commitment does not go well, then the relationship will become complicated. The result is the disruption of the harmony of married life because there is no role of religion in the purpose of the marriage bond. The purpose of writing this article is to look at the biblical perspective on interfaith marriage in a pluralistic society. The true foundation of marriage in Christianity or in other religions. The method used for this research is a qualitative method of library studies. The causes of interfaith marriages are social life, minimal religious education, parental background, and the current of globalization also encourage new social constructions. Interfaith marriages in the Old and New Testaments are not permitted by God, because marriage is God's initiative and must be centered on Jesus Christ. Marriage must Return to carry out God's eternal plan so that marriage can achieve its original purpose, namely humans must Return to God and His Word to understand it. This is the reason God wants marriage to be a marriage of faith. Marriage is the foundation because it is on this relationship that God begins to build society. Healthy marriages must be built and run according to Christ and these relationships are based on Christ as the head of the family and church.

Sulfonamide derivative was identified as potential as penicillin-binding protein 2X (PBP-2X) inhibitor and this paper describes the in-depth structural analysis. Sulfonamide compounds were analyzed by various methods such as singlecrystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and density functional theory, respectively. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicated that H…H, C-H…C, C-H…N, and especially C-H…O hydrogen bond interactions are the primary contributors to the intermolecular stabilization in the crystal. The sulfonamide structure was explained by X-ray structure determination and it was optimized by the DFT method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set in the ground state. The first-order hyperpolarizability was calculated at same level of theory. FMO’s, MEP, Mulliken charges were also calculated and analyzed in detail. Molecular docking experiments revealed important intermolecular interactions between the sulfonamide derivative and penicillin-binding protein 2X. These results indicate that sulfonamide may be considered for further drug design endeavors.

Published: May 2022

Probiotics for human consumption including Lactobacillus sp. and Acetobacter sp. are of increasing interest due to the growing evidences of health advantages associated with them. The viability of these bacteria in food as well as during transit through the gastrointestinal tract is crucial for positive health effects. The present study comparatively analyzes the survivability and functional properties of commercial probiotic drinks in a simulated gastrointestinal environment. The sample drinks were divided into two sections viz.; Dairy and Non-dairy, both containing either Lactobacillus acidophilus or Acetobacter xylinum and estimated for properties including numbers, gram character, NaCl tolerance, bile salt resistance, optimal pH and production of organic acids. Viability and activity in the gastrointestinal environment was evaluated by subjecting the above to an in vitro digestive treatment using a combination of enzymes and digestive solutions. It was observed that amongst all the selected samples, Lactobacillus acidophilus present in the dairy beverages displayed the highest probiotic potential. These microorganisms displayed the greatest NaCl (1-9%) and bile salt tolerance (0.05- 0.4%) along with maximum organic acid production (1.81%), pH resistance (2.0-7.5) as well as overall survival during in vitro gastric, bile and intestinal digestion (p≤0.5). Moreover, non-dairy liquids with Acetobacter xylinum manifested improved performance compared to Lactobacillus in this food environment. Therefore, the functionality of a probiotic product may not only be dependent on the type of microorganism but also the food medium. Knowledge of the above may enable the consumer in making a careful selection of a desirable food product to gain maximum health benefits.

Published: May 2022

Cotton meloidoginosis caused by Meloidogyne incognita races 3 and 4 is an important disease and can cause intense damage. The objective of this work was to test the effectiveness of commercial Bacillus-based products in the control of M. incognita races 3 and 4 of cotton in a greenhouse. Plants with and without nematode inoculation were used and subsequently evaluated for 200 days after the application of treatments. The products with Bacillus subtilis, B. amyloliquefasciens and B. subtilis + B. lincheniformis showed the best results in terms of shoot fresh matter weight. In relation to shoot dry weight, treatments with B. methylotrophicus (87 g, with nematode) and B. subtilis (80 g, with nematode) were superior, with emphasis on B. methylotrophicus. In the evaluation of root fresh weight, only the treatment with B. methylotrophicus (148.8 g, with nematode) provided statistically higher weight than the control. In item dry weight of root without nematode and nematode reproduction factor, the treatment with B. methylotrophicus stood out from the other treatments, making this the selected product to conduct the subsequent tests. With the acid fuchsin staining method, it was possible to verify that there was reduction in the penetration of J2 in the first days for plants treated with the bacteria. Upon adoption of the toluidine blue staining method, it was possible to observe abnormalities in giant cells with formation of vacuoles, thinner cell wall and females with large vacuoles inside. Thus, there is evidence that the use of biological products can be effective in controlling M. incognita.

Three field experiments were completed over a three-year period (2019 to 2021) in Ontario, Canada to develop weed management programs in azuki bean with herbicides (pendimethalin, S-metolachlor, halosulfuron, and imazethapyr) applied alone and in combination, and metribuzin, applied preemergence (PRE). At 2 and 4 weeks after emergence (WAE), there was ≤ 8% azuki bean injury from the herbicide treatments evaluated, with the exception of the treatments that included S-metolachlor which caused up to 19% azuki bean injury. Pendimethalin (1080 g ai ha-1) and S-metolachlor (1600 g ai ha-1) controlled green foxtail 83-94% but provided poor control of common lambsquarters, wild mustard, redroot pigweed, common ragweed, and flower-of-an-hour. Imazethapyr (75 g ai ha-1) controlled common lambsquarters, wild mustard, redroot pigweed, and flower-of-an-hour 90-100% but provided 76-82% control of common ragweed and green foxtail. Halosulfuron (35 g ai ha-1) controlled wild mustard 100%, common ragweed 81-84%, common lambsquarters 77-83%, flower-of-an-hour 72-75%, redroot pigweed 59-72%, and green foxtail 19-23%. The tankmix of pendimethalin + S-metolachlor controlled green foxtail and common lambsquarters 87-97% but the control was only 23- 83% on wild mustard, redroot pigweed, common ragweed, and flower-of-an-hour. The tankmixes of pendimethalin + imazethapyr and pendimethalin + S-metolachlor + imazethapyr provided 90-100% control of common lambsquarters, wild mustard, redroot pigweed, flower-of-an-hour, and green foxtail, and 78-87% control of common ragweed. The tankmixes of pendimethalin + halosulfuron and pendimethalin + S-metolachlor + halosulfuron controlled common lambsquarters and wild mustard 91-100%, green foxtail 76-95%, flower-of-an-hour 70-94%, redroot pigweed 68-91%, and common ragweed 78-79%. Metribuzin (280 g ai ha-1) controlled common lambsquarters, wild mustard, redroot pigweed, common ragweed, flower-of-an-hour, and green foxtail up to 94, 98, 81, 58, 98, and 61% respectively; control improved to 99, 100, 97, 84, 99, and 83%, respectively when the rate was increased to 560 g ai ha-1. Generally, weed density and dry biomass reflected the level of weed control. Weed interference reduced azuki bean yield by 91% in this study. Generally, azuki bean yield reflected the level of weed control.

Pacific Island Countries (Kiribati, Fiji, Samoa, and many others) rely on fisheries and agricultural systems for their livelihood and economic development. However, the COVID-19 scenario has led to vast degradation in the agriculture supply, economy, and food security system, resulting in poverty, an increase of unemployment percentage, and a decrease in the tourism industry. The policies related to COVID-19 restrictions, such as lockdowns, access to markets and social distancing, has caused a high reduction in the income of many households. Food purchasing from vendor markets and supermarkets has decreased rapidly due to its prices. Several individuals cannot afford to buy the food items, leading to lower food supply within and outside the country. In addition, several people have been moving to rural areas due to Unemployment. They have started to perform backyard gardening small-scale farming, which again results in lower production of commercial farmers and loss of food supply to consumers. Not only Fiji, but the whole world is experiencing the same situations, which have led to the Government making innovative actions against this deadly virus to protect the citizens from this pandemic. FNPF withdrawals, farming packages, and other initiatives indulged by the Government of Fiji and other Pacific Countries are being discussed in this review. Countries have examined the effects of the Coronavirus on the agricultural system and food supply chain in Fiji and other Pacific nations.

Application of biochar soil amendment is a good practice to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in the soil to mitigate climate change, rock phosphate and urea fertilizer increase soil fertility to enhance food security. This greenhouse experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of biochar, rock phosphate, and urea on cucumber-tomato intercrop and evaluate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in the soil grown with cabbage-carrot intercrop. The first experiment was carried out using varying levels of rock phosphate (25, 50 kg ha-1), biochar (25, 50, 100 kg ha-1) and urea (30, 60 kg ha-1) and control with no fertilizer application. The treatment combinations were replicated three times resulting in twenty-one experimental pots. The second experiment involved the application of biochar at different levels of application (25, 50, 100 kg ha-1) and control with no fertilizer application, all the pots across the experiment received an equal application of urea at a rate of 30 kg ha-1 and rock phosphate at a rate of 25 kg ha-1 replicated three times resulting in 12 experimental pots for cabbage-carrot intercrop while 15 pots with an extra biochar application of 120 kg ha-1 for cabbage only. Results showed that High nitrogen plus High phosphorus (N + P) including Low phosphorus plus Medium biochar (Low P + MC), Low nitrogen plus Low phosphorus plus High biochar (Low N + Low P + HC), and Low nitrogen plus Low biochar (Low N + Low C) supported the height of cucumber while Low nitrogen plus Low biochar (Low N + Low C) and High nitrogen (High N) positively influenced height of tomato. There was no significant difference in the number of cucumber fruits produced since the control and high N treatments significantly got the same number of cucumber fruit. In contrast, Low nitrogen plus Low biochar (Low N + LC) treated to tomato crop got the highest number of tomato fruits. In the second experiment, the Highest biochar including High biochar and Low C (Low biochar), favoured cabbage’s height while no significant effort in the treatments to support carrot height. It was estimated that the High C treatment gave the highest carbon dioxide emission while the Highest C treatment stored carbon dioxide in the soil.
An Exact Connection between π and the Golden Ratio φ
Authors: Teia Luis
Published: May 2022

This article establishes a geometrical and mathematical bridge between the universal constant π  and the golden ratio φ  by interrelating the construction of the area of a circle using two approaches: one formed using the rotation of a regular unit pentagon and the other one from the rotation of its inverse ― the pentagram of side reference φ . The mathematical end result is a linear expression of π  as a function of φ . As an interesting side result, an expression for the area of a circle is derived based on the golden ratio φ  and a geometrically motivated coefficient. A scripted program for the verification of the derived expressions is provided.

One year after the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, on the world graph of daily morbidity can be seen that we are in the downturn of the third epidemic wave, consistent with the downturn of the third wave of daily deaths from/with Covid-19. However, the written press and the audiovisual media continue to present alarming balance sheets several times a day that lead the public to the idea of public danger. Doubts about the adequacy of declaring the pandemic were interpreted by some "naysayers" as doubts about the existence of the disease and the virus, and some loudly expressed their opposition against the prophylactic measures. Increasingly, public opinion, the press, and the judiciary system are shedding light on the causes of these approaches, which claim to be based on scientific criteria but sometimes prove to be pseudo-scientific, causing an „infodemic”. The best objective orientation in this informational chaos is based on the mathematical-statistical processing of official data that is centralized daily from all countries of the world and published on the Internet. The statistical calculation suggests that in addition to the inequalities inherent in different populations, there are also cases of over-reporting, overdiagnosis, over-treatment, and/or over-media coverage of the Covid-19 case practice. As a general conclusion, the virus is real, the disease is real, but the risk to public health is not particularly serious except in certain geographical areas. If scientifically established prophylaxis and treatment measures are followed, the pandemic may end this year.

Restorative justice training for judges and public prosecutors in the European Union: what is on offer and where are the gaps?

Judges and public prosecutors across Europe continue to be the main source of referral of cases to restorative justice programmes organised in the context of the criminal justice system. As a result, the training of these two groups of legal professionals regarding what restorative justice is and what it can offer to victims, offenders and the community has for many years been identified as a priority for the development of restorative justice in the European Union (EU). However, little information is available about what actually exists in terms of judicial training on restorative justice within the national judicial training institutions responsible for the initial and/or continuous training of judges and/or public prosecutors. Therefore, we developed an online survey on judicial training on restorative justice and invited 38 judicial training institutions operating in the (then) 28 EU Member States to participate in our study. We were able to make relevant observations regarding the reasons for the non-existence of restorative justice training in most of the judicial training institutions studied and identify important elements of the architecture of the restorative justice training offered by the judicial training institution of Czech Republic.
“YARARLI” ve “ZARARLI” GLOBAL KAMUSAL MALLAR ve ULUSLARARASI POLİTİK İKTİSADIN İKİ KÖR BIÇAĞI: GLOBAL REGÜLASYON ve GLOBAL VERGİLEME Kamu Tercihi Perspektifinden Uluslararası Organizasyonların Başarısızlığı
Authors: AKTAN Coşkun Can
Published: May 2022

Günümüzde global kamusal malların pozitif etkileri ve global kamusal kötülüklerin negatif etkileri öylesine önemli boyutlara ulaşmıştır ki, hiçbir ülkenin bu iyiliklere ve/veya kötülüklere kayıtsız kalması düşünülemez. Ulus devletlerin tek başına global sorunları çözüme kavuşturmaları mümkün olmadığından sorunun çözümü uluslararası organizasyonların global anarşizmden kurtulabilmek için ortak işbirliği yapmalarına bağlı bulunmaktadır. Ancak kamu tercihi perspektifi tıpkı ulus devletler gibi uluslararası organizasyonların da başarısızlığa uğramasının kaçınılmaz olduğunu açıklamaktadır. Kamu tericihi araştırma proğramı uluslararası politik iktisadın iki kör bıçağının (global regülasyon ve global vergileme) sorunun çözümünü güçleştirdiğini ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır.

Published: May 2022

O presente estudo visa apresentar considerações sobre aspectos determinantes da exclusão escolar e a sua repercussão no âmbito das dinâmicas curriculares mobilizadas para escolarização de crianças e adolescentes em ambientes hospitalares. Para tanto, analisamos dados estatísticos levantados a partir de pesquisas institucionais e acadêmicas, relacionando-os a alguns dos fatores determinantes para avanços e desafios na oferta do serviço de acompanhamento pedagógico a estudantes hospitalizados em âmbito nacional, considerando a complexidade da atuação docente em tais circunstâncias. Compreendemos que a articulação entre diferentes atores, tais como gestores e coordenadores pedagógicos das escolas regulares e pesquisadores acadêmicos de instituições de ensino superior, aliada à escuta ativa de estudantes em tratamento de saúde, pode contribuir para fortalecer movimentos organizados da sociedade civil. Tais movimentos reivindicatórios articulados, por sua vez, têm maior potencial de ensejar políticas públicas mais abrangentes e melhor estruturadas para esses estudantes.

Non-communicable diseases cause 71% of deaths in the world. Dyslipidemia has been established as the cause of various non-communicable diseases such as obesity (PERKENI, 2019). A person's weight gain is in line with the increase in serum cholesterol. This study aims to find out the correlation of body mass index with cholesterol levels in employees and students of Kudus Polytechnic. This study is a type of observational study using Posbindu secondary data including name, anthropometric (TB, BB), cholesterol level data, and disease history. So as to complete the basic data respondents researchers use additional questionnaires to dig up the data. The sample were students and employees of Kudus Polytechnic with purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis uses pearson correlation test and relationship strength (r).  Pearson test results show values (p<0.05) so that BMI variables have a meaningful relationship to blood cholesterol levels. Correlation (r = 0.4) indicates a moderate correlation.  The higher a person's BMI, the higher his blood cholesterol levels. In external variables, cholesterol levels have a meaningful relationship with age. The strength of the relationship is moderate and the positive direction so that the more mature the age then there is an increase in cholesterol levels.

This study seeks to find the rank of corporate governance characteristics that affect bank performance. The artificial neural network is employed in the analysis instead of regression analysis. There are two dependent variables which are ROA and PER that represents the accounting performance and the market performance. Size of the board of directors, gender diversity of the board, and board independence are the corporate governance characteristics considered in this study. Board independence is the most important factor in determining both accounting performance and market performance. However, the size of the board of directors becomes the second-factor affecting a bank’s accounting performance and the last factor affecting the bank’s market performance, while gender diversity is the last factor for accounting performance and the second factor for market performance.
