Cows are important animals for Indonesian farmers who have high economic value. Cow breeding business has many benefits for human life, especially meat, milk, bones, skin, offal and feces (cow dung). Cow feces can be used as an organic fertilizer manufacture by cattle farmers. But it needs to be considered in making organic fertilizer derived from cows because it contains many diseases and parasites. If the cow's feces are not treated properly, it will cause environmental pollution to the local residents. Cow infected with parasites can experience a decrease in body weight, decreased endurance, impaired growth and death. To find out intestinal helminth parasitic infections, one of them is by identifying worms in cow feces. The majority of the population of Tikung Subdistrict, Lamongan Regency, earn their living as farmers and ranchers. The purpose of this study was to identify intestinal Nematode worms in cow feces in Tikung Subdistrict, Lamongan Regency. The method used in this study was Nacl Saturated to determine the morphology and forms of parasites. The results showed that cattle feces samples taken from the Tikung Subdistrict of Lamongan District contained the Nematoda parasite, which was found the presence of Hookworm eggs in 3 samples with a percentage of 6% and found 1 positive sample (+) containing Taenia saginata eggs, with a percentage of 2% of the total 50 samples in Sumber Jaya Livestock Farm in cattle on Tikung Subdistrict, Lamongan Regency is still relatively low. Keywords: Cow Feces (Bos sp.), Intestinal Nematodes, Cestodes

Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in the global education system, requiring all educational institutions to adapt online instruction in response to government regulations such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, and the ban of public meetings, among others. As the country recovers from the effects of this pandemic, the Philippine government has chosen to return educational institutions' activities to face-to-face mode. During the pandemic, several academics sought to learn about the influence of online education on students' academic achievement, students' attitudes about online learning, the impact on students' mental health, and parents' perceptions and experiences. However, despite the abundance of published material, there is a lack of studies on students' preference between online education and traditional education, notably among tourism management students in the Philippines, as well as studies that have determined the differences on students' choice in terms of the type of institution they are enrolled at, motivating the researchers to conduct this study. Using a descriptive research design taking on quantitative research approach, the researchers aimed to determine the experience of tourism management students in selected colleges and universities in Region IV-A, Philippines towards online and traditional education in terms of productivity, efficiency, and convenience. Findings of this study serve as guide for government agencies concerned with education and educational institutions to understand their stakeholder, allowing them to come up with more preferable policy decisions in the future.

The Influence Of Financial Behavior On Investment Decisions With Financial Literacy As A Mediation Variable
Authors: Dinarjito Agung
Published: August 2023

Making investment decisions is very important for investors because it will affect profits or losses. Various factors have influenced investment decisions, one of which is financial behavior. Study assignment students are employees who get the opportunity to continue their study. Because they already earn income, it is important to see the students' understanding regarding decision making. This study aims to see the influence of the financial behavior of study assignment students at the STAN State Finance Polytechnic in making decisions with financial literacy as an intervening variable. The financial behavior measured is overconfidence, herding, loss aversion, and risk perception. The result is only the financial literacy variable, risk perception, has a significant effect on investment decisions. Regarding the financial literacy variable, it is evident that only the overconfidence and risk perception variables influence it. Regarding the existence of financial literacy as an intervening variable, it is proven only by overconfidence and risk perception which are able to provide an indirect relationship to investment decisions. Financial literacy has succeeded in fully mediating the relationship of overconfidence to investment decisions and for risk perception only as partially mediation.

The study raises the issue of evaluating the effectiveness of public procurement, especially procurement of medicines. This topic is relevant, since a significant part of state funding is directed specifically to the healthcare system. In addition, the quality of organization of procurement activities affects the work of hospitals and polyclinics. In this regard, the improvement of the methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of public procurement, particularly procurement of medicines, is critically important. The paper presents the results of statistical analysis showing the need to develop a more comprehensive methodology that takes into account the volume of failed purchases in the context of efficiency assessment. The issue of "repeated" purchases was studied separately, since information about them would allow drawing conclusions about the existing patterns in tenders and the reasons for recognizing a purchase as failed. The methodological novelty is associated with the description of the approach to the formation of a sample for research and the algorithm for identifying "repeated" procurement procedures. All calculations are based on real data on procurement under the Federal Law No. 44-FZ for 2021–2022. The data was aggregated from the Unified Information System for Procurement. A statistical analysis of the scale of failed and repeated purchases in the context of regions, medicines and pharmacotherapeutic groups has been conducted. Based on the analysis, approximate estimates of hidden costs of the state budget related to re-organizing and re-conducting of trade procedures are given. The results of the work can be used for further scientific research in the field of public procurement efficiency, as well as to improve public policy in the field of procurement and provision of medicines.
Green Budgeting Tools and Practice
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg University of Management Technologies and Economics, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Vinogradova T. I.
Published: August 2023

Russia is following the course of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and shaping its climate strategy. In March 2023, Russia approved the National Action Plan for the second phase of adaptation to climate change for the period until 2025. The public budget is the main tool for achieving the political goals of the government, therefore, in order to implement the public policy in the field of environmental protection and counteraction to climate change, green budgeting is being introduced. The purpose of this article is to actualize the ideas of green budgeting, systematize such budgeting tools within the framework of the general concept of green budgeting, taking into account foreign experience of their use. The author uses general scientific methods, in particular methods of analysis and synthesis of relevant scientific literature, legal information and publications of international organizations. The following conclusions are made: The public budget system is able to minimize those economic activities that are adverse for the environment by creating the possibility of tracking, analysis, evaluation and adjustment of budget expenditures using the tools of green budgeting. The latter does not require restructuring of the public finance management system; the prerequisite for its practical use is the presence of environmental care among the state national goals.

SLC25A5 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that solute carrier family 25 member 5, encoded by SLC25A5, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. SLC25A5 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of SLC25A5 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of SLC25A5 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Background/objective: Exercise-related cognitive errors (ECEs) is a significant factor that can influence regular physical activity among emerging adults. Findings of previous studies suggested that mindfulness interventions can improve the level of regular physical activity (PA) levels. However, the potential mechanisms of how mindfulness is related to PA levels are still relatively unknown. Thus, this study investigated the potential association between trait mindfulness and PA and determined whether trait self-control and exercise-related cognitive errors serve as mediators. Method: In total, 328 Chinese participants (61.3% female, Mean age=20.65, SD=2.21) completed a series of questionnaires, including demographics, the Five Dimension Mindfulness Questionnaire short form (FFMQ-SF), the Exercise Cognitive Bias Questionnaire (E-CEQ), the Brief Self Control Scale (BSCS), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF). A structural equation model was used to investigate the potential relationships between trait mindfulness and PA levels, with trait self-control and exercise-related cognitive errors as mediating variables. Results: Trait mindfulness, trait self-control, and ECEs were significantly correlated with PA. Further, trait self-control and exercise-related cognitive errors mediated the relationship between trait mindfulness and PA. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that trait self-control and ECEs are likely to mediate the relationship between trait mindfulness and PA levels, providing a new direction for further research aiming to reduce ECEs and improve PA among emerging adults.

Design Actions for the Design of Visualization Onboarding Methods
Authors: Stoiber Christina , Pohl Margit , Aigner Wolfgang
Published: August 2023

Integrating visualization onboarding methods into visual analytics tools presents challenges for designers and developers. These challenges include the varying complexity of visualization techniques, data types, and users’ expertise levels. Selecting and integrating educational theories, ensuring the completeness and clarity of onboarding instructions, choosing the appropriate medium, and determining interaction techniques for exploration during onboarding are also problematic. However, there needs to be established design guidance specifically focused on visualization onboarding. Existing resources like VisGuides and design patterns offer some qualitative advice but lack scientific foundations. To address this gap, we propose nine design actions based on critical reflections of empirical studies, the development of a design space, and user studies. These design actions emphasize customizing onboarding experiences to address users’ knowledge gaps, finding a balance between flexibility and structure, and incorporating concrete examples while considering potential limitations in knowledge transfer. Furthermore, we explore the connections, issues, and contradictions within the design actions. In conclusion, it is crucial to tailor onboarding experiences, balance flexibility and structure, and provide concrete examples while acknowledging knowledge transfer challenges.
Yield strength determination based on dissipative energetic transition
Authors: Lesueur Martin , Zhang Xinrui , Rattez Hadrien , Hueckel Tomasz
Published: August 2023

Mechanical yield strength is one of the most crucial mechanical properties to consider to remain operating in safe elastic regimes. Despite its importance, it remains ambiguous to measure as different disciplines acknowledge different definitions. Most common examples include the deviation from linear elasticity or the peak stress. This difference has significant consequences for the modelling of non-linear deformations since the yield point is the foundation of most plasticity models. We seek to find a criterion that is not empirical in comparison to most but based instead on energetic considerations. Indeed, the transition from elastic to plastic regime corresponds to a transition of energy dissipation. The energy potential we introduce for our new definition of the yield is based on equilibrium theory which states that instability happens when the second derivative of potential energy goes to zero. Practically, we measure this point in time where the maximum of the derivative of the mechanical work is found. The method is examined for numerical simulations and experiments on 3D-printed samples. It shows similarities to the traditional offset method in uniaxial compression but is more accurate and differs at high confinements in the compaction cap. It exhibits consistency with the other energetic yield criterion of Gurson. In the future, we aim to make it a new experimental standard for material mechanical testing.
Are metacognition interventions in young children effective? Evidence from a series of meta-analyses
Authors: Eberhart Janina , Schäfer Franziska , Bryce Donna
Published: August 2023

*This paper is not yet published.* A metacognitive learner acts in a planful way, monitors their progress, flexibly adapts their strategies, and reflects on their learning. Unsurprisingly, a metacognitive approach to learning is an important predictor of children’s academic performance and many attempts have been made to promote metacognition in young children. The current meta-analytic study evaluates the impact of such metacognition interventions on outcomes related to self-regulated learning and academic achievement in typically developing pre- and elementary school children. Structural, content-related, and methodological moderators were tested in this study including 349 effect sizes from 67 studies. An overall effectiveness of metacognition interventions was evidenced at immediate post-test g = 0.48 (95% CI [0.35, 0.61]), and at follow-up g = 0.29 (95% CI [0.17, 0.40]). Interestingly, metacognition interventions effectively enhanced children’s self-efficacy only at follow-up, suggesting that the positive impact of these interventions can unfold over a protracted period. For the first time, children’s executive functions were considered as outcome variables and results indicated a positive impact of metacognition interventions on these variables. One notable finding was that interventions that were delivered by teachers or task materials were more effective than interventions that were delivered by researchers for two outcomes related to self-regulated learning. This finding may reflect recent improvements in how teachers and researchers collaborate to develop intervention programs. The study supports and extends existing evidence that young learners benefit from metacognition interventions in myriad ways and provides novel insights relevant for pedagogical practice and theories of self-regulated learning.
What does it Mean to be European? How Identity Content Shapes Adolescents’ Views
Authors: Mayer Anna-Maria , Koerner Astrid , Jugert Philipp
Published: August 2023

Many scholars assume that European identity is a civic identity that is ethnically inclusive, and associated with positive intergroup attitudes and support for the EU. However, results on these associations are mixed, and it is an open question whether adolescents conceptualize European identity in civic terms. We were interested in adolescents’ understanding of being European, and how this relates to intolerance towards refugees and newly arrived people, EU support, and national identity. Our sample included 1,206 adolescents from Germany (51% female, Age: M = 14.39, SD = 0.02). Twenty-seven percent were ethnic minority adolescents. European and national identity content were assessed via open-ended answers, which were content coded, and five close-ended questions. We conducted latent class analysis to identify classes for both identities. Three European identity classes emerged: a living-based (47%), a culture & value-based (27%) and an ancestry-based class (26%). Classes did not differ with regard to EU support, but in intolerance (highest: ancestry-based, lowest: culture & value-based). Class membership was significantly associated with German identity classes, such that corresponding identity contents were associated, and immigrant status, ethnic minority adolescents belonged more likely to an ancestry-based European identity class. Our results indicate that adolescents differed in their understanding of being European and that it is important to consider critically how youth understand Europeanness to understand European identity’s effect on intergroup relations.
Financial and Psychosocial Challenges Reported by Social Work Students: Findings From a Cross-Sectional Online Survey
Authors: Gyourko John R. , Silver Jennifer , Greeson Johanna K. P.
Published: August 2023

Although field education is social work’s signature pedagogy, few studies explore student perspectives surrounding the challenges and costs of field practicum (Aguilera et al., 2022). Available research indicates that some social work students experience role conflict and financial stress as they attempt to balance caregiving and employment responsibilities with coursework and field requirements (Hemy et al., 2016). While prior research found that part-time and non-traditional students are disproportionately likely to experience such challenges, the extant literature is limited to a handful of studies, with most of these focusing on social work education in Australia (Smith et al., 2021). To address this literature gap, the present study analyzes data from 408 current and former students who participated in a cross-sectional online survey. Administered by the National Association of Social Workers (Pennsylvania chapter), the survey asked respondents about the financial and psychosocial challenges they encountered while pursuing a social work degree. Respondents with any history of part-time enrollment, those in unpaid field placements, gender-nonconforming respondents, and respondents of color reported significantly more challenges than did their counterparts. Findings offer insights for professional accrediting bodies, universities, and field placement organizations seeking to understand and address the concerns of contemporary social work students.

Published: August 2023

COVID-19 resulted in global restrictions on migration, with pronounced consequences in Australia, where the resettlement of refugees was significantly curtailed from March 2020. This research, comprising a third phase in an ongoing study, seeks to understand the broader implications of these restrictions on family separation and reunion among resettled refugees in Australia. Employing a mixed-method approach of surveys and family interviews conducted in late 2021, we explore various themes the pandemic's effects on family reunion, concerns about family still `at home', maintaining social connections, post-migration difficulties and financial hardships. The findings reveal a negative impact of COVID-19 on refugees' ability to reunite with families, with evidence pointing differences between gender, visa category, and language group/ethnicity. The research underscores the need for innovative approaches in resettlement to address the negative impacts of family separation and for governments to expedite family reunion pathways to alleviate isolation and uncertainty among resettled refugees.

Ideal Practices and Dowry System in the Muslim Communities of Nepal
Authors: Upadhyay Chandra
Published: August 2023

This paper analyzes the ideal practices and the dowry system in Muslim communities in Nepal. Here, the term “ideal practices” refers to a system or set of practices that include the effectiveness of human experience and behavior, including traditions, customs, and social practices prevalent in a community. Muslim communities in Nepal follow their own way of life based on Islamic ideals. Amidst the ideal practices, the dowry system is prevalent among them. However, the system, as practiced in contemporary Muslim society, has been reported as a social and economic barrier. This paper, based on a descriptive research design and a qualitative approach, answers the question of what dowry is for Muslims, how they practice it, and why they socially discard the practice. It uses both secondary and primary data. The secondary data were collected through reviews of published books on Muslims in Nepal, and the literature available in archives and e-resources. Similarly, the primary data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations in Morang and Sunsari districts of Nepal’s Terai. This article also uses local stories to understand the prevalence of the dowry system in the Muslim community. The analysis of various stories indicates that the dowry system is prevalent in the Muslim community due to the fanaticism of the community, superstition, greed, personal intention, social imitation, and level of perception. This research concludes that efforts such as adherence to Islamic ideals against dowry, socialization, awareness, and education can have a positive effect on controlling dowry. The paper contributes to social awareness against the dowry system among Muslims and other communities in Nepal.

In this paper, earthquake preparedness knowledge and practice refer to the understanding and implementation of measures to minimize the potential damage and loss of life caused by earthquakes, including proper building design and construction, emergency planning, and regular drills and training for individuals and communities. Earthquake preparedness knowledge and practice are essential for secondary-level school students because the losses of mortalities, morbidities, and economics from earthquakes cannot be predicted in the world. In this paper, a descriptive research design and quantitative approach as well as primary sources of data were used. Primary data were collected from semi-structured questionnaires with the students of Grades 9 and 10 of the government school of Bhaktapur, Bagmati Province. Of the total 96 students were censused using the rule of thumb method. The findings show that about 91.7% reported they heard the earthquake preparedness, 16.9% prepared with a Go bag, and 2.1% practiced duck, cover, and hold methods during the shock of the earthquake. The result reveals that about 50 percent of the total students have adequate knowledge of earthquake preparedness while they have limited practice. It can conclude that adequate preparedness practices were needed for secondary-level students. In addition, they should be aware of and understand the causes, nature, and effects of natural hazards skills to enable proactive prevention and mitigation of disasters.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the ANC clinic of Damak Hospital from June 2 to June 15 in 2019. A complete enumerative sampling technique was used. The total sample size was 80. All the required information was collected through the interview schedule. The interview was taken by an investigator oneself in a face-to-face interview with the pregnant woman. Among 80 respondents, the mean age of the respondent was 25.84 years of which 42.5% were Primigravida and 57.5% of the respondents were Multigravida. Similarly, 37.5% of respondents had higher education and above. Most (76.3%) of respondents mentioned books as the major source of information. Among the studied respondent, 8.8% of the respondents have good knowledge, 58.8% have moderate knowledge and 32.4% have poor knowledge of PMTCT. The level of knowledge was statistically associated with occupation (p=0.04) whereas the level of knowledge was not associated with other socio-demographic variables: age groups, gravida. In this study, respondents have a moderate level of knowledge on the prevention of mother-to-child transmission and the level of knowledge was statistically associated with the occupation of respondents.

Published: August 2023

This paper reports the knowledge and practice of self-regulation of English teachers in public primary and secondary schools in South-East China. The data were collected from multiple classroom observations of and in-depth interviews with two English language teachers working in Chinese schools. This study reported that despite limited knowledge of Self-regulated learning  teachers’ classroom practices reflected an extensive use of SRL strategies positively impacting students’ learning engagment. However, the workload and the traditional grade-focused assessment systems influenced teachers’ consideration of self and their students’ learning motivation, metacognition, and cognition. These findings indicate a need to strengthen English teachers’ metacognition, cognition and motivational-emotional regulation to support student learning.

प्रस्तुत अनुसन्धानात्मक लेख नेपालमा राजतन्त्रको अन्त्य र मिडियाले खेलेको भूमिकावारे केन्द्रित छ । यो अध्ययनको उद्देश्य २००७ सालको क्रान्तिदेखि २०६५ जेठ १५ मा गणतन्त्र घोषणा हुँदासम्मका घटनाक्रमको विश्लेषण गर्दै राजतन्त्रले कसरी प्रत्यक्ष वा परोक्षरूपमा आफ्नै अवशनका लागि मिडियालाई भूमिका निर्वाह गर्न बाध्य पा¥यो भन्ने दर्साउनु नै हो । पटकपटक राजनीतिक परिवर्तन भए पनि दरबारको षड्यन्त्र र जालझेलका कारण मुलुकमा राजनीतिक स्थायित्व कायम हुन सकेन । राजाहरूको ध्यान सधैँ कसरी राजनीतिक शक्तिहरूलाई लडाउने, भिडाउने र जनताका प्रजातान्त्रिक अधिकार खोसेर दरबारलाई बलियो बनाउने भन्नेमै केन्द्रित हुन थाल्यो । यस क्रममा मिडियालाई सधैँ तारो बनाइयो । त्यही कारण मिडियाले दरबारका गलत क्रियाकलाप र जनाधिकार खोस्न भएका प्रयासबारे जनतालाई सुसूचित गर्ने र जनाधिकारको पक्षमा लड्न प्रेरित गर्ने खालका सामग्रीलाई प्राथमिकता दियो । २०५८ जेठ १९ को दरबार हत्याकाण्डमा राजा वीरेन्द्र र उनको वंश नास भएपछि गद्दीको उत्तराधिकारी बनेका ज्ञानेन्द्रप्रति आम नेपालीको विश्वास थिएन । मिडियाले त्यो वेलाको यथार्थ चित्रण गरिदियो । राजा ज्ञानेन्द्रले २०६१ माघ १९ मा शासनसत्ता हातमा लिए लगत्तै सेना परिचालन गरी मिडियामा कडा सेन्सरसिप सुरु गरे । मिडियाले तत्काल सशक्त विरोध जनाउन नसके पनि राजनीतिक दलहरूको आन्दोलनलाई बल पुग्ने गरी राजाको विरोधमा जनमत बनाउने काम ग¥यो । त्यसैको परिणाम हो, २०६२–०६३ को जनान्दोलन, संविधानसभा निर्वाचन, राजतन्त्रको अन्त्य र गणतन्त्रको घोषणा ।

Introduction:Endoscopic sinus surgery is a widely utilized surgical method for addressing chronic sinonasal diseases. To prevent major postoperative problems, an anatomical understanding of its variants is necessary. Our study aims to determine the occurrence and classification of different Keros types by analyzing paranasal sinus CT scans and retrospectively evaluating the depth of the olfactory fossa in our population.Methods:This is a retrospective single-centre analytical study on 254 patients who had undergone a non-enhanced paranasal sinus CT scan for 1 year after ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee of Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital. The statistical program SPSS version 25 was used to conduct the statistical analysis.Results:The average depth of the right olfactory fossa (OF) was 4.4±1.44 mm on the right side and 4.5±1.5 mm on the left side. According to the Keros classification, out of a total of 254 patients, 38 patients (15%) were classified as Keros I, 193 patients (76%) as Keros II, and 23 patients (9%) as Keros III for the right lateral lamella. 44 (17.3%), 180 (70.9%), and 30 (11.8%) patients were classified as Keros I, II, and III respectively, for the left lateral lamella..Conclusions:A preoperative CT scan of the paranasal sinus is useful in assessing the architecture of the anterior skull base and making sure the surgical approach is properly planned.
Stories of the Indian descendants as revolutionaries in Vietnam

Published: August 2023

This paper focuses on the Indian descendants who are acknowledged in mainstream records as contributors to national and democratic revolutionaries. Relying on archival documents and ethnographic notes collected from the author’s research at National Archival Centre II, the Archive Centre of Ho Chi Minh city People’s Committee, and at the Indian temples and mosques in Ho Chi Minh city in the years from 2013 to 2014, this paper constructs narratives of the Indians’ personal experience about Vietnamese revolutionaries. Rather than aiming at a comprehensive description of these Indian individuals with heroic details, this paper includes fragments of their life stories, which are diverse and temporary, as collected largely from the author’s ethnographic research and sometimes from journalistic and administrative writings. The way of telling specific and particular experiences of the Indian descendants supporting Vietnamese nation-building is significant in bringing up vivid and particular portrayals of this population. That potentially forms lively, immediate indicators of historical and cultural connections between India and Vietnam.
