Published: January 2024

Adequate knowledge is needed to know when grasshopper species abundance shifts and to follow severe outbreaks during microclimatic variations. Grasshoppers regularly cause enormous harm to a wide variety of crops and grazing lands; sometimes they show a potential attack on particular crops. A study was carried out in the southern region of Jaipur, Rajasthan, where 11 sites were weekly sampled to monitor grasshopper population dynamics, grasshopper densities, species composition, and vegetation loss from July 2021 to December 2022. A serious grasshopper attack was reported in 2021, with the highest grasshopper densities ranging from 5 to 17.5 per m2, whereas grasshopper densities dropped in 2022 from 4 to 14.5 per m2. In the survey area, the acridid grasshopper Hieroglyphus banian (Acrididae:Orthoptera) was reported as the most abundant species that was accountable for the majority of the crop damage in agricultural fields, followed by Spathosternum praciniferaum and Acrida turrita, respectively. The grasshopper population density was revealed to be significantly different in 2021 and 2022 (t = 1.568, df = 20, P = 2.086). Severe infestation was observed in all of the pearl millet fields and also in seasonal crops and vegetables, where H. banian caused 91% infestation, followed by S. praciniferaum with 7% and A. turrita with 2%, respectively. The study confirmed that climatic factors were significantly related to outbreaks and assessed their effect, which revealed a rare population in the summer season and peaked in the monsoon season. The finding provides important information for grasshopper risk forecasting, which is advantageous for preparing grasshopper risk maps, predicting the intensity of outbreaks, and developing an integrated pest management plan.

Introduction: Certain ethnic groups continue to practice traditional values and beliefs while remaining geographically or socially isolated. These groups also tend to rely on traditional indigenous methods of treatment rather than accessing oral health treatments when necessary. Past studies of the tribal Narikuravar population's oral health state and understanding of oral hygiene measures revealed that both were in very poor condition, necessitating greater dental care. Poor oral health also implies that their general health will be compromised, affecting their ability to work as well. Aim: To assess the self-perceived stress and oral health-related quality of life among tribal gypsies in Chennai Materials and methods: The study was conducted among the Narikuravar tribal gypsies living in Thirumullaivoyal, Chennai, in April 2022. The present study included 320 study participants in total. Using the perceived stress scale (1983) and the OIDP scale, the tribal population's self-perceived stress and oral health quality of life were evaluated. To determine the statistical significance with , descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation test were used. Results: Our study shows a high-stress level of 30.6%, a Moderate stress level of 56.3%, and a low-stress level of 13.1% among tribal gypsies in Chennai. The correlation between stress levels and sleeping and relaxation among tribal gypsies in Chennai shows a high association between high-stress levels and their impact on everyday life. A chi-square test was done, and the association was found to be statistically significant, P-value Conclusion: Many nomads had oral health perceptions significantly correlated with their traditional habits, and their oral health had worsened. To enhance their oral health status, steps must be taken to increase their access to care and reduce barriers.

Due to its osteoinductive and osteoconductive qualities, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is a desirable biomaterial frequently utilised in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. As a sustainable alternative to conventional sources like mammalian bones, we set out to create and characterise DBM made from fish waste, primarily fish bones. Several methodologies were used to thoroughly characterise the generated DBM. The chemical composition was examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which also served to confirm the removal of mineral components. In order to analyse the DBM's microstructure and surface morphology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed. According to FTIR measurement, the DBM showed a considerable decrease in mineral content, demonstrating successful demineralization. A porous structure with linked pores was visible in SEM images, allowing for nutrition diffusion and cell penetration. Additionally, the DBM's biological characteristics were assessed. Studies using in vitro cell cultures showed that the DBM might help human mesenchymal stem cells adhere, proliferate, and differentiate into osteogenic cells. Through in vivo animal studies, the osteoinductive ability of the DBM was evaluated. The implanted DBM stimulated new bone production in a rat calvarial deficiency model. As a result of our study's successful preparation and characterisation of DBM from fish waste, we now have a reliable and affordable supply for this important biomaterial. Positive characteristics of the demineralized fish bone matrix included reduced mineral content, porosity structure, and osteoinductive capability. These results demonstrate the possibility of DBM generated from fish waste as a promising substitute for bone regeneration applications.

Unveiling Efficiency: Investigating Distance Measures in Wastewater Treatment Using Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Fuzzy Soft Set
Authors: Saeed Muhammad , Kareem Kinza , Razzaq Fatima , Saqlain Muhammad
Published: January 2024

To reduce the threats that wastewater poses to human health and the environment, water treatment techniques must be improved. The use of a procedure that includes preparation, testing, primary and secondary treatments, filtration, disinfection, and continuous monitoring is therefore required. The objective of this research is to create a hybrid notion that extends the idea of an interval-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set (IVNFSS) to an interval-valued neutrosophic fuzzy set. Operations like complement, union, and integration are included in the idea. To improve decision-making accuracy, a quality-assessment distance measure is incorporated, offering a numerical representation of the disparity between various factors. Furthermore, the IVNFSS defines distance measures, which are used in the wastewater treatment process. To monitor water quality, IVNFSS, in conjunction with a distance measure, is a potent instrument whose application extends to water waste treatment procedures. This can completely change the way that water quality management is now done by providing a methodical way to guarantee the security and quality of drinking water.

Authors: Cauz Bottesini Eliara
Published: January 2024

O pré-natal psicológico caracteriza-se por ser um programa de viés psicoeducativo, cujo principal objetivo é acolher e fornecer uma escuta qualificada a mulheres gestantes, além de orientá-las e prepará-las para que o processo da maternidade seja conduzido da melhor forma possível, podendo ser realizado de modo individual ou grupal. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender a vivência de uma mulher que realizou o pré-natal psicológico durante a gestação, identificando suas repercussões na maternagem, fatores de risco e de proteção. Realizou-se um estudo de caso do qual participou uma mulher, sendo mãe, com idade acima de 18 anos, que realizou o pré-natal psicológico durante sua gestação. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada e os dados foram avaliados por meio de uma análise temática. A partir do estudo concluiu-se que a prática do PNP foi imprescindível para a promoção da saúde mental da gestante, amenizando conflitos emocionais e tornando-se um fator de proteção relevante à distúrbios provenientes desta fase como a depressão pós-parto, por exemplo. Ademais, faz-se necessário a realização de mais estudos sobre tal intervenção, tendo em vista que é uma prática recente e pouco difundida nacionalmente.
Blanchot-Heidegger: límite de lo pensable y acontecimiento
Authors: Castillo Becerra Patricia , Ruiz Pozo Jesús
Published: January 2024

Obra de actualidad filosófica que, mediante el estudio de sus figuras centrales -Maurice Blanchot y Martin Heidegger-, dibuja al mismo tiempo lo que podríamos llamar el modo de pensamiento de nuestros días; ambos autores ofrecen un diagnóstico del presente y una crónica de su motivación filosófica, señalando de manera muy esencial aquello que nos hace contemporáneos: un modo de problematización del presente, una determinada actitud ante el mundo y un estilo de pensamiento. En este nuevo espacio, el pensamiento ha de aceptar la exigencia incondicionada de pensar precisamente a partir de la inexistencia del fundamento metafísico incondicionado. Donde el límite de lo pensable entraña ya la excepción de un acontecimiento. Ahora bien, ¿cómo unir a Blanchot con Heidegger? La tarea consiste en sentar a ambos pensadores en una misma mesa y posar en medio una cuestión que funcione de punto fronterizo.

UD. Sinar Terang Beton is a company in the city of Surabaya that produces and sells various types of paving products. In determining product selling prices, the company uses a producer-based pricing method so that it does not calculate the cost price for each product. Therefore, this research aims to recalculate the cost of the company's products based on their cost behavior and calculate the selling price so that it can be used as a consideration in determining the selling price of the product. This research uses primary data from researchers through interviews, field observations, and documentation activities. The validity of the data obtained from these activities was tested using data, source, and time triangulation techniques. The research results show that the company’s current price is slightly higher than the researcher's selling price calculation using the cost-plus pricing selling price method with a full costing and variable costing approach.

Pre-marital counseling is an activity held for unmarried parties, in connection with their wedding plans. These parties come to the counselor to make their decisions so that they are more stable and can make better adjustments in the future. Marriage counseling or what is commonly called marriage counseling is an effort to help the prospective bride and groom. Marriage counseling is carried out by professional counselors. The goal is that they can develop and be able to solve the problems they face through ways of mutual respect, tolerance, and communication, in order to achieve family motivation, development, independence, and the welfare of all family members.

The purpose of personal counseling specifically has the main and foremost goal in mentoring, namely introducing the counselee to Jesus Christ with the power of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God and helping the counselee to become like Christ. This counseling is a service process so that the counselee has a life change and experiences recovery from the intervention of the Holy Spirit and accepts the Lord Jesus as a personal Savior so that the counselee lives and grows in a better spirituality.

This service can be done by a counselor or a servant of God to help church members free from dark powers. Through this counseling service, the counselor will check the personal acceptance of Jesus; confession to God; ask forgiveness from God; deliverance prayer service; convinced of a new identity in Christ. Discipleship ministry (follow up) is very important for people who have just been released from the bonds of dark power. The strategy that the church must do is to make disciples or guide personally so that the counselee knows more about Jesus and grows more in Jesus Christ.

Holiness is a state or quality of being holy. Holiness is a sign of a believer's spiritual life that must be continuously strived for, including ethical behavior. The Christian life and holiness are an inseparable unity in the believer. God's holiness has a lot to do with the people He chooses. Election/covenant is a unique expression of God's holiness. Because God is holy, God also requires His people to live holy lives (Leviticus 11:44). God shows His holiness in His actions for the salvation of the people He has chosen (Num. 20:13).

Authors: Setyowati Retno Manuhoro
Published: January 2024

This article focuses on adolescents who actively use social media and their vulnerability to Online Gender-Based Violence. The research was conducted qualitatively using the virtual ethnography method to look at the social and cultural phenomena of using cyberspace. As an analytical tool, the author uses Mead's Symbolic Interaction Theory to explore the phenomenon of OGBV among teenagers. The emergence of the phenomenon of online gender-based violence is one of the many negative impacts of using social media. Teenagers who became informants stated that they were afraid of losing their virtual communities on social media and not enough had been literate about online gender-based violence. This research confirms that there is still a need for more digital safety literacy that directly focuses on Online Gender-Based Violence and also needs literacy in pockets of youth and adolescents, accompanied by targeted understanding, so that adolescents can avoid the emergence of OGBV and other negative impacts.

Background and Aim: As the first and most important educational institution of the country, the school plays a decisive role in teaching ecological literacy along with other organizations and educational tools. The purpose of this research was to design an interpretative structural model of the challenges of developing ecological literacy in secondary schools. Methods: The current research is of mixed type (qualitative and quantitative). In the first phase, a qualitative research method was conducted using thematic analysis, and in the second phase, a quantitative method was conducted based on interpretive structural modeling. The statistical community in both qualitative and quantitative sections, due to the expert-centeredness of the interpretive structural modeling approach, formed experts, which included school principals, teachers, environmental education experts, environmental education professors, and environmental elites. They were selected purposefully and until theoretical saturation was reached (22 people). Sampling method in the quantitative part, due to the expert-oriented approach of interpretive structural modeling, the experts were in the qualitative part (N=20). The measurement tool in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview and in the quantitative part, a questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the data were confirmed. Two methods of thematic analysis (Max QDI software) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) (Excel software) were used to analyze the data. Results: 6 main themes of ecological literacy development challenges in secondary schools have been identified, which include human, infrastructure, economic, attitudinal, curriculum and political challenges. Conclusion: Human challenge and curriculum are in the independent cluster, that is, it has a great influence on other factors and other factors have little influence on it; The themes of infrastructure and curriculum are placed in the dependent cluster, that is, they are affected by other factors and have little effect on other factors; Economic and attitudinal themes are placed in the linked cluster, that is, they both influence other factors and are influenced by other factors.

Authors: Jamali Ali , Rafiepoor Amin
Published: January 2024

Objective: Adolescence is a critical period in life. During adolescence, individuals experience new situations and, as a result, face various risks. The present study aims to determine the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between the quality of the parent-child relationship and risky behaviors in adolescents. Methods and Materials: This study is descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection and structural equation modeling in nature. The study population includes all adolescents in Tehran city. Based on Morgan's table, 222 individuals were selected as the sample size through a convenient sampling method and participated in the current study. Data were collected using the Parent-Child Relationship Assessment questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation questionnaire, and the Adolescent Risk-Taking Scale. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation analysis and path analysis in the AMOS and SPSS version 22 software. Findings: The results of the research showed that maladaptive emotion regulation is significantly positively correlated with risky behaviors in adolescents (P < 0.01). The quality of the parent-child relationship had a significant negative correlation with components of risky behaviors in adolescents (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Other findings of this research indicated that emotion regulation strategies play a mediating role in the relationship between the quality of the parent-child relationship and risky behaviors. Therefore, in adolescents, the quality of the parent-child relationship determines risky behaviors through emotion regulation strategies.

The co-operative movement in Britain has always held within it a utopian strand, influenced by the ideas of Robert Owen, the “father of co-operation.” Motivated by the recent creation of workers.coop, a new organisation of worker co-operatives, this essay charts the course of this utopianism from the nineteenth-century to the present day. Using Sidney Pollard’s seminal account of co-operative utopianism vs co-operative realism, it asks whether a new periodisation of the British co-operative moment is now required, given the marginalisation of consumer co-operation as a tool for social change since the 1960s and the “rediscovery” of worker co-operation. With both the UK Labour Party and the Co-operative Party promising to “double” the number of co-operatives in the UK going into the next general election in 2024, what are the consequences for the Movement? With post-capitalists identifying producer co-operatives as a potential successor to corporate capitalism, it is useful to consider the current health of utopian and realistic conceptions of co-operation within the movement.
Robert Owen's legacy to co-operative ideas and practices in Japan
Authors: Kurimoto Akira
Published: January 2024

Robert Owen’s ideas arrived in the Far East in the late nineteenth century when Japan abandoned its “closed-door” policy. Owen’s views became widely known through numerous translations and publications after the Meiji Restoration in 1868. His ideas have proven influential particularly in the areas of childcare, social welfare, management practice and social movements although his influence on communal life has been limited. Owen has often been viewed negatively as a utopian socialist by Marxists but he has inspired co-operative leaders including Dr Toyohiko Kagawa. Owen has been studied by researchers of social philosophy including Professors Shigeru Goto and Chushichi Tsuzuku. Today, Hitotsubashi University and Meiji University in Tokyo hold the Owen Collection and the Owen Library, respectively. The Robert Owen Association of Japan was set up by concerned researchers and co-operative practitioners in 1958, commemorating the centenary of Owen’s death. It is active in promoting scholarship on Robert Owen and worldwide co-operative history through regular symposia and publications in both English and Japanese. The story of the Rochdale Pioneers remains popular even today and is often revisited by academic essays, books, comics and films while a replica of Rochdale’s Toad Lane Museum was built by Co-op Kobe.

Published: January 2024

Islamic religious education learning which emphasizes rote learning often causes students to feel bored and lack interest in learning. Students' efforts to memorize material tend to be unstructured and less systematic. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of flashcard media and AnkiDroid on the cognitive outcomes of Islamic Religious Education on the material Rahmat Islam for the Archipelago in Class XII SMA Negeri 1 Kasihan and to make a comparison between the two. This research makes a contribution by exploring the effectiveness of two learning media in improving PAI learning outcomes. To the best of the author's knowledge, there has been no research that specifically compares conventional flashcards with AnkiDroid in the context of PAI subjects. This research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method with a quasi-experimental research design, namely a nonequivalent control group design. The research results show that both media, both flashcards and AnkiDroid, have a significant influence on PAI's cognitive learning outcomes in the Rahmat Islam Untuk Nusantara material. Nonetheless, there is no significant difference between the two.

Fire water cannon is the main equipment in fire protection work, which is evolving towards large flow, long distance and high shooting. As an important core component of fire water monitor, the structural design of nozzle plays an important role in jet performance. The Fluent fluid simulation software was used to simulate the internal flow field of the fire nozzle model with different outlet diameters and convergence angles. The average jet velocity and turbulent kinetic energy under different parameters were compared to obtain the optimal size parameters of the fire nozzle. The results show that when the inlet diameter is 100 mm, the inlet pressure is 1.2 MPa, the length of the rectifier section is 95 mm, the outlet diameter is 50 mm, and the convergence angle is 11 °, the jet performance of the fire monitor nozzle is the best. The simulation results can provide reference for the structural design and practical application of fire water monitor nozzle.

Abstract:

Introduction: Junk food consumption is new trend in Pakistan and everywhere junk food spots are opened which are easily accessible and affordable by teenagers. High consumption of junk food has developed its huge popularity which has low content of nutrients but it includes high content of sugar, fats, salts and food preservatives. Junk food consumption pattern in adolescents reported enormously in Pakistan.

Objective: To explore junk food consumption in college going adolescents based on theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Moreover, TPB is based on relationship among subjective norms, behavioural intention and perceived behavioural control.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 355 adolescents. Sample was selected based on probability sampling method, in which first sample was selected based on cluster sampling method and secondly, based on random sampling method. Using SPSS, outcomes were computed on data gathered, it includes percentages, frequencies, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis between dependent and independent variables.

Results: showed that junk food consumption patterns among adolescents were average accounted for 50%. More than 80% of junk food was consumed when friends were around.

Conclusion: Using TPB, attitude toward health was main element. Hence, knowledge and awareness level were high among adolescents but perceived control behaviour was modified by their peers which let them consume high rate of junk food even knowing fact that junk food has an unhealthy effect on health status.
