Authors: Sayang Sayang
Published: November 2022

This thesis discusses about “Exemplary Teacher In Conducting Congregational Prayers To Improve The Discipline Of Middle School Students At  Al-Ma’arif  Panyiwi Cenrana Sub District Bone District”. The primary objects in this study are students and other elements within the school environment, with data collection techniques in the field research, including observation, interview and documentation techniques. The approach used is a psychological approach, pedagogical and sociological approach. The results showed that the managerial existence of student coaching in the implementation of prayer in congregation in the mosque with all its programs has a significant contribution in shaping the good character or noble character of Madrasah students, including discipline. There are several forms of managerial methods or steps implemented by the teacher in carrying out student coaching programs to carry out the congregation prayer, namely the method of giving examples or role models to students with discipline in teaching and participating in the congregation prayer together with students (students be a figure), supervision (controlling) by involving students. The method of controlling is carried out through recording the names of the students who violated and giving sanctions in the form of memorizing verses of the Qur'an. Factors that support the implementation of the midnight congregational prayer program are the participation and enthusiasm of students in carrying out congregational prayers, the existence of facilities in the form of mosques and support from the school. The inhibiting factors, namely facilities or places of ablution are still limited. The impact of applying congregational prayer for students of Middle School at Al-Ma’arif namely the impact on affective and religious on students such as the intensity of worship and shape student discipline. The implication of this research is all elements of the school, especially to teachers to understand again how important the existence of an example in carrying out programs that are incidental and primary both the learning process and school activities, especially in terms of the implementation of congregational prayers, and continue to innovate- Innovative and up to date innovation in carrying out the mandate as a figure that is expected to be able to advance the world of education.
The “Lord of the Sheep” and His House: An Intertextual Reading of the Animal Apocalypse (1 En. 85–90) with the Pentateuch
Authors: Bokhorst Mirjam J.
Published: November 2022

The name of God – the “Lord of the sheep” – and when he is first mentioned in the sketch of history, as well as the relationship of the so called “house” and “tower” are much debated points in the research on the Animal Apocalypse. This article takes a closer look at these two topics and compares them with the Pentateuch. A close intertextual reading will highlight striking similarities between their two narratives of history and show that in both compositions the time in the desert is constitutive for the characterization and perception of God and for the idea of his sanctuary.
Deep Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive Learning Systems
Authors: Li Xiao , Xu Hanchen , Zhang Jinming , Chang Hua-hua
Published: November 2022

The adaptive learning problem concerns how to create an individualized learning plan (also referred to as a learning policy) that chooses the most appropriate learning materials based on a learner’s latent traits. In this article, we study an important yet less-addressed adaptive learning problem—one that assumes continuous latent traits. Specifically, we formulate the adaptive learning problem as a Markov decision process. We assume latent traits to be continuous with an unknown transition model and apply a model-free deep reinforcement learning algorithm—the deep Q-learning algorithm—that can effectively find the optimal learning policy from data on learners’ learning process without knowing the actual transition model of the learners’ continuous latent traits. To efficiently utilize available data, we also develop a transition model estimator that emulates the learner’s learning process using neural networks. The transition model estimator can be used in the deep Q-learning algorithm so that it can more efficiently discover the optimal learning policy for a learner. Numerical simulation studies verify that the proposed algorithm is very efficient in finding a good learning policy. Especially with the aid of a transition model estimator, it can find the optimal learning policy after training using a small number of learners.

“Beralas Bumi Beratap Langit”: An Investigation of Creating Role and Space through Site-Specific
Authors: AKBAR ABDUR RIZKY
Published: November 2022

This article is devoted to the analysis of theatre performances “Beralas Bumi Beratap Langit” which uses a site-specific  method. Central to the site-specific approach is concern to the potential of unconventional spaces. The site-specific approach seeks to use the unique landscape properties of the site, locations selected based on their ability to amplify storytelling and form a clearer background for the actors in a theatrical production. This approach in theatre studies, especially with regard to actors and spaces, seems to offer breadth and bridges to the creating role and the flexibility which many representations come together, site-specific is then used as a method that helps in achieving character through learning and creating acting, from the Covid-19 pandemic intervention which changed at least most of the methods in learning acting and other creative processes. This article aims to investigate a site-specific approach that is personalized in the interest of providing insight or catalysts on the mode of acting and actors as subjects in theatrical performances. Using the ethnographic method, data were obtained on the creative process during the preparation of the show by the “Panggung Bercerita” theatre community. Practical investigation of a site-specific approach to the theatre stage method yields the following conclusions: 1) natural sets create an atmosphere of intimacy, 2) helps actors feel immersion into the world being played, and 3) provides rich and culturally relevant visualizations of the actor's image.

Published: November 2022

The design planning of the Mobile Banking Interface Design for Elderly Users aims to redesign the mobile banking application interface to be more effective and easier for elderly users. This research uses a mixed-method of explanatory sequential, which sequentially uses quantitative and qualitative modes. The quantitative model uses questionnaires and bodystorming simulations to obtain data on the needs and behavior of the elderly. The qualitative model is based on the User-Centered Design (UCD) design process. The research resulted in the following: (1) data on the needs of elderly users when using mobile banking applications (2) data on the behavior of elderly users to better understand the interface of the mobile banking application. Based on these data, a mobile banking interface was developed to suit the needs of elderly users, which includes a more simplified display, enlarged text size, enlarged button size and additional spacing, adjusted icon shape to the understanding of elderly users, and display layout arrangements that are very concerned for making the interaction process more comfortable. Evaluation of the interface design results on mobile banking applications for elderly users shows that the application is more acceptable, more understandable, and easier for elderly use.
Shadow Puppets In The Hands Of The Young Puppeteers: Loss Of Philosophy Value
Authors: - Suyanto , Setiawan Aris
Published: November 2022

This study aims to actualize philosophical values in shadow puppets performances for the puppeteer and the younger generation. The object of this research is a shadow puppets performance by young puppeteers in Surakarta and its surroundings. Recently, many young puppeteers have appeared arrogantly on stage, for example: standing up and trampling puppet with their feet, throwing puppet off the stage, cursing or saying rude things, exploiting sexual objects for jokes. Whether we realize it or not, one of the causes of this phenomenon is the gap in understanding the philosophical values of puppetry. Data collection methods in this study were the observation of performances and interviews, while to understand the meaning of symbols captured in shadow puppets performances, the method of understanding meaning was used. The notion of "understanding the meaning" in this context is how meaning can be captured from the puppeteers' expressions, either in the form of sabet (puppets movement), catur (puppeteer vocals), and music presented. The result of this research is an attempt to find the factors that influence the tendency of the young puppeteers to express freely. Finding the factors that influence the more youthful generation tends to like glamorous entertainment alone—actualizing philosophical values in shadow puppets according to the contemporary point of view. The ability of the puppeteers to present messages through shadow puppets performances should have direct implications for his personality, in addition to being a means of mass communication that can reach all levels of society (audience) in general.

Authors: Ardianto Deny Tri , Riyanto Bedjo , Mataram Sayid , Desa Mohd Asyiek Mat
Published: November 2022

As a law enforcement officer, a prosecutor plays an important role in investigating a case or prosecuting a suspect. However, in recent years, several prosecutors were found involved in a number of corruption cases in Indonesia. This phenomenon is not a new one. In Serat Jayengbaya written by R.Ng. Ronggowarsito, especially in the song Dadi Jeksa, the behavior and life of prosecutors in the past are depicted as a profession full of intrigue and manipulation. This phenomenon inspired the making of a dance film adapted from Dadi Jeksa song. Using a Research and Development (RnD) approach, this film was designed to use movements based on contemporary dance as a means of its story telling. This film represents the culture and perspective of the Indonesian people in viewing legal issues. After the film was presented at various festivals and exhibitions, positive responses were obtained from various parties. The appreciation received mainly focused on the film’s creative storytelling and visualization in presenting a depiction of law enforcement dynamics in Indonesia.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ РОЗКРИТТЯ СУТНОСТІ ТЕОРІЇ ТОТОЖНИХ ПЕРЕТВОРЕНЬ МАТЕМАТИЧНИХ ВИРАЗІВ У КУРСАХ МАТЕМАТИКИ ЗАКЛАДІВ ЗАГАЛЬНОЇ СЕРЕДНЬОЇ ОСВІТИ

Published: November 2022

Формулювання проблеми. У курсах математики закладів загальної середньої освіти змістова лінія перетворень математичних виразів, їхніх так званих тотожних перетворень, є безпосередньо наступною до змістової лінії числа, навіть, невід’ємною складовою останньої. Виходячи з позиції практико-орієнтованої концепції навчання, зрозуміло, що у навчальних курсах математики виконання тотожних перетворень математичних виразів не повинне бути самоціллю. Теорія тотожних перетворень математичних виразів, наприклад, є безпосереднім підґрунтям для розв’язування рівнянь та нерівностей, для обчислення певних типів невизначених та визначених інтегралів. У той же час, огляд сучасних підручників з алгебри, алгебри і початків аналізу для різних класів закладів загальної середньої освіти переконливо свідчить про те, що повної математичної чіткості та однозначної визначеності по відношенню до вищевказаних понять при цьому немає. Отже, проведення необхідних досліджень теоретичного характеру, з’ясування доцільних з математичної й методичної точок зору шляхів впровадження отриманих результатів у відповідні навчальні курси, представилося авторам задачею вельми актуальною.
Матеріали і методи. Дослідження базується на багаторічному досвіді практичної роботи авторів статті з учнями закладів загальної середньої освіти. Воно, також, є наслідком опрацювання різних джерел інформації, проведення міркувань дедуктивного характеру, формулювання висновків внаслідок синтезу отриманих умовиводів.
Результати. У роботі запропоновано теоретичні основи доцільних з позиції авторів підходів до сучасного висвітлення теорії тотожних перетворень математичних виразів у курсах математики закладів загальної середньої освіти, визначено практичні напрямки впровадження таких підходів у контент відповідного навчального матеріалу.
Висновки. Для курсів математики закладів загальної середньої освіти доцільною представляється розробка сучасної теорії абсолютних та відносних тотожних перетворень математичних виразів, теоретичні аспекти якої автори намагалися висвітлити у даній роботі. Запропоновані шляхи розв’язання визначених при цьому проблем вимагають подальшого ретельного обговорення.
ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ВЧИТЕЛЯ ІНФОРМАТИКИ В ЗАКЛАДІ ЗАГАЛЬНОЇ СЕРЕДНЬОЇ ОСВІТИ У ПАРАДИГМІ НОРМАТИВНИХ ВИМОГ ДО ЇЇ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ

Published: November 2022

У статті розглянуто нормативну базу, за якою здійснюється професійна діяльність вчителів інформатики у закладах загальної середньої освіти.

Постановка проблеми. Реформування освітньої галузі часто призводить до невизначеностей або суперечностей у реалізації освітнього процесу, а тому важливою є нормативна база, на якій ґрунтується діяльність кожного суб’єкта в цьому процесі. З огляду на постійний розвиток інформаційних технологій і засобів та потребу в забезпеченні відповідного рівня підготовки учнів з інформатики окремої уваги потребує нормативна основа діяльності вчителя інформатики в межах ЗЗСО, висвітлення якої стало метою цієї статті.

Матеріали і методи. Нормативна база, в парадигмі якої здійснюється професійна діяльність вчителя інформатики. Аналіз і систематизація для виявлення та опису нормативної бази діяльності вчителя в правовому полі України; аналіз для уточнення вимог до організації роботи кабінету інформатики як місця професійної діяльності вчителя інформатики; зіставлення освітньо-професійних програм та переліку результатів навчання і загальних та спеціальних компетентностей для виявлення результатів підготовленості вчителів інформатики згідно з нормативними документами.

Результати. Систематизовано нормативні документи, якими керуються вчителі інформатики у власній професійній діяльності.

Висновки. Організація навчання інформатики в ЗЗСО ґрунтується на загальній нормативно-правовій базі, офіційній документації кабінету інформатики, санітарно-гігієнічних вимогах, техніці безпеки та охороні праці, навчально-методичному забезпеченні кабінету інформатики. Вимоги до організації роботи кабінету інформатики визначені Наказом МОЗУ “Про затвердження Санітарного регламенту для закладів загальної середньої освіти” та Типовим переліком комп’ютерного обладнання для закладів дошкільної, загальної середньої та професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти (Наказ МОНУ від 02 листопада 2017 року №1440 зі змінами від 27 квітня 2021 року № 458).
ПОВНА ГРУПА ФУНДАМЕНТАЛЬНИХ КОНСТАНТ ФІЗИКИ
Authors: Кузьменков Сергій
Published: November 2022

Формулювання проблеми. У статті обговорюється проблема повноти групи фундаментальних констант фізики. Аналіз існуючих списків різних авторів дав змогу дійти висновку, що жоден з них не вирішує проблему. Різні автори обґрунтовують різні списки через відсутність: 1) чітких критеріїв фундаментальності констант і 2) консенсусу щодо поняття повноти групи фундаментальних констант. Тому дослідження цієї проблеми є актуальним.
Матеріали і методи. Проведене дослідження спиралось на праці таких авторів як Й.Л. Розенталь (1984), П. Девіс (1982/1985), Л.Б. Окунь (1991), К.А. Томілін (2006), О.П. Спірідонов (2015) і здійснювалось шляхом систематизації, порівняльного аналізу, теоретичного осмислення наукових публікацій і навчальної літератури, узагальнення й уточнення ідей науковців.
Результати. 1. На нашу думку, групу констант можна вважати повною, якщо її члени є необхідними і достатніми для повної характеристики нашого Всесвіту. 2. До групи розмірних констант обґрунтовано введення космологічної сталої Λ як константи, що характеризує темну енергію, яка домінує у нашому Всесвіті. 3. Обґрунтовано введення принципу відповідності між групами розмірних і безрозмірних фундаментальних констант, який би давав змогу однозначно переходити від однієї групи до іншої. 4. Згідно з принципом відповідності до групи безрозмірних фундаментальних констант введено безрозмірну космологічну сталу . 5. Послідовне застосування принципу відповідності дало змогу уточнити і доповнити групу безрозмірних констант, зокрема, додати дві константи   і , яким можна поставити у відповідність розмірні константи c (швидкість світла) та ħ (стала Планка). 6. Щоб забезпечити повну відповідність між групами розмірних і безрозмірних констант щодо слабкої і сильної взаємодій, обґрунтовано введення до групи розмірних констант сталої Фермі  і величини кольорового заряду gqg. 7. Уточнено зміст безрозмірної сталої Габбла (Кузьменков, 2022).
Висновки. Отже, нами сформовано дві повні (на сьогодні) групи фундаментальних констант фізики (розмірних і безрозмірних) по 12 членів у кожній і систему рівнянь, які однозначно описують перехід від однієї групи констант до іншої.

A new species of Chilicola Spinola, subgenus Hylaeosoma Ashmead (Xeromelissinae), is described from southwestern Guatemala. Chilicola ( Hylaeosoma) maya sp. n. is distinguished from other species of the megalostigma species group. The new species
is superficially most similar to C. kevani Oliveira, Mahlmann & Engel from northeastern Brazil owing to the extensive areas of orangish honey colour on the antenna and mesosoma.
The ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of a one-hectare plot of lowland dipterocarp forest
Authors: Heterick B. , Kitching R.L.
Published: November 2022

A multiple-method survey of just one hectare of lowland dipterocarp forest in Brunei yielded 115 species or morphospecies of ants of which 102 have been identified to species. No fewer than 24 of these are new records for Borneo. We list these species with comments on their wider distributions.
Almost half of these species (44%) are endemic to the Sundaland region, with a further 20% restricted to south-east Asia. Few local species crossed the Makassar Strait between Borneo and Sulawesi suggesting that Wallace's Line is a relevant biogeographical barrier for many ant species. The
trapping methods used generally targeted contrasting groups of species. The methods that yielded most ant species were canopy knockdown using pyrethrin insecticide (43%), pitfall trapping (26%), leaf litter extraction (9.5%) and bark spraying (8.6%). Our results suggest that future tropical
forest ant surveys should include canopy sampling.

Core affinity code block schedule to reduce inter-core data synchronization of SpMT
Authors: zjutoe
Published: November 2022

Extract parallelism from programs is growing important as the number of cores of processors is increasing. Parallelization usually involves splitting a sequential thread, and schedule the split code to run on multiple cores. E.g. Some previous Speculative Multi-Threading research used code block reordering to automatically parallelize a sequential thread on multi-core processors. Although the parallelized code blocks can run on different cores, there may still be some data dependences among them. Therefore such parallelization will introduce data dependences among the cores where the code blocks run, which should be resolved alongside the execution by cross-core data sync. Cross-core data sync is usually expensive. This paper proposes to minimize the cross-core data sync with core affinity aware code block scheduling. Our work is based on an Speculative Multi-Threading (SpMT) approach with code block reordering. We improve it by implementing an affinity aware block scheduling algorithm. We built a simulator to model the SpMT architecture, and conducted experiments with SPEC2006 benchmarks. The data shows that plenty of cross-core data sync could be reduced (e.g. Up to 28.7% for gromacs) by the affinity aware block scheduling. For inter-core register sync delay of 5 cycles, this may suggest 3.73% increase in performance.

The rise of separatism that raises with the emergence of separatist groups with their idealistic-communal ideas to create a more democratic and more equitable life recently is quite apprehensive. Should this problem be solved with horizontal conflict and separation option (disintegration) regarding that conflict can’t be and will never be the best solution for problems. The community must also take part in this matter, maintaining the unity of Indonesia by practicing the precepts of Pancasila, especially the third precept, namely the Unity of Indonesia. This article was made as a response to the related nationality problem with the expectation that this can be one alternative solution for an existing problem-solving effort. Methods: The research method used in this article is literature review. Conclusion: Many Indonesians have been able to implement the values of the 3rd precept of Pancasila, but there are still many who have an indifferent attitude towards values that reflect this precept.Keywords: Indonesia unity, PancasilaAbstrak:Maraknya separatisme yang mengemuka bersama munculnya kelompok separatis dengan segudang cita-cita idealistik-komunal untuk menciptakan kehidupan yang lebih demokratis dan lebih berkeadilan akhir-akhir ini terasa cukup memprihatinkan.

Differential expression of the oxytocin receptor in triple negative breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2022

Women diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer can benefit neither from endocrine therapy nor from HER2-targeted therapies (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with triple negative breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding oxytocin receptor, OXTR, when comparing the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer to normal mammary ductal cells (2). OXTR was also differentially expressed in bulk tumor in human breast cancer (3). OXTR mRNA was present at significantly decreased quantities in TNBC tumor cells relative to normal mammary ductal cells. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of OXTR in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B type cancer, while within triple negative breast cancer, primary tumor expression of OXTR was correlated with overall survival in patients with mesenchymal stem-like subtype disease. OXTR may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of triple negative breast cancers.

Published: November 2022

Decades of research have greatly improved our understanding of intrinsic human brain organization in terms of functional networks and the transmodal hubs within the cortex at which they converge. However, substrates of multi-network integration in the human subcortex are relatively uncharted. Here, we leveraged recent advances in subcortical atlasing and ultra-high field (7T) imaging optimized for the subcortex to investigate the functional architecture of fourteen individual structures with a fully data-driven approach. We revealed that spontaneous neural activity in subcortical regions can be decomposed into multiple independent subsignals that correlate with, or ‘echo’, the activity in functional networks across the cortex. Distinct subregions of the thalamus, striatum, claustrum, and hippocampus showed a varied pattern of echoes from attention, control, visual, somatomotor, and default mode networks, demonstrating evidence for a heterogeneous organization supportive of functional integration. Multiple network activity furthermore converged within the globus pallidus externa, substantia nigra, and ventral tegmental area but was specific to one subregion, while the amygdala and pedunculopontine nucleus preferentially affiliated with a single network, showing a more homogeneous topography. Subregional connectivity of the globus pallidus interna, subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, periaqueductal grey, and locus coeruleus did not resemble patterns of cortical network activity. Together, these finding describe potential mechanisms through which the subcortex participates in integrated and segregated information processing and shapes the spontaneous cognitive dynamics during rest.
Economic Inequality and Science, Technology and Innovation Policy: the cases of the United Kingdom and South Africa
Authors: Smallman Melanie , Beumer Koen
Published: November 2022

There is growing evidence that technology-driven economic growth has a signficant role to play in growing inequality in industrialised countries. Examining innovation policies in South Africa (the G20 Country with the highest levels of inequality) and the UK (inequality at the G20 average), we ask whether the role of innovation in driving inequality is being addressed in STI policy, what measures might be neglected, and why innovation and distribution sensitive policies take the form they do. We find that the distributional consequences of innovation do receive attention in innovation policies in the two countries, albeit in different (and sometimes suprising) ways. However, the approaches taken are limited to a focus on the ‘firm’ as the model for technology transfer, with little evidence of moves to share assets. These differences and oversights, we argue, are the result of particular sociotechnical imaginaries shaping the role of science and innovation in national life.
Contagious economic failure? Discourses around “zombie firms” in Covid-19 ridden Germany and Italy
Authors: Hilmar Till , Paolillo Rocco , Sachweh Patrick
Published: November 2022

As the spread of Covid-19 hit societies around the world, governments stepped up to contain the pandemic’s economic shock. Governments saved businesses and stabilized employment through extensive fiscal relief packages. In this paper, we analyze public debates around zombie firms – businesses that are unprofitable and/or unable to pay interests on their debt but still receive public aid. In popular culture, zombies are contagious creatures that threaten the “healthy” order of society; in economic discourse, we suggest, the zombie trope is no less rich in cultural meaning and metaphor. Specifically, we are interested in how narrative meaning around zombie firms can be employed to describe the role of the state and the role of the market in addressing economic crises and economic transformations. We comparatively explore how zombie firms are discussed in two societies, Germany and Italy, during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic. Combining computational and qualitative text analysis, we investigate how newspapers on the left and on the right imbue this term with meaning. Our results show that German and Italian debates are more similar than expected. Right-leaning newspapers in both countries depict zombie firms as a problem of debt, which is seen as caused and aggravated by undesired state intervention in market dynamics. Left-leaning newspapers articulate more nuanced positions: while German left-leaning newspapers tend to reject the trope of zombie firms and defend pandemic state interventions such as short-time work programs, their Italian counterparts also argue for the need for such policies but associate zombie firms with doubts about the efficiency of state support in the long term.
Gender, Sex, and the Constraints of Machine Learning Methods
Authors: Lockhart Jeffrey W
Published: November 2022

This chapter discusses the wide array of ways that gender and sex interact with machine learning (ML) and the artificial intelligence technologies that rely on it. Some of these interactions are intentional; others are unintentional or even against practitioners’ concerted efforts. Some are born out of the allure of a seemingly simple variable that is aligned with the technical needs of ML. Often, gender lurks without invitation, because these methods mine data for associations, and gendered associations are ubiquitous. In a growing body of work, scholars are using ML to actively interrogate measurements and theories of gender and sex. ML brings with it new paradigms of quantitative reasoning that hold the potential to either reinscribe or revolutionize gender in both technical systems and scientific knowledge.
Bambusa vulgaris leaf extracts contain myriad of bioactive phytochemicals: a possible attestation of its medicinal relevance
Authors: Ogunmoyole Temidayo
Published: November 2022

The use of medicinal plant as alternative and complementary therapy is fast gaining attention in recent times particularly in developing nations. However, little or no attention is placed on identifying their bioactive constituents in terms of structures in relation to therapeutic effect. The present study investigates the bioactive compounds as well as the antioxidant mechanisms of B. vulgaris leaf with a view to providing scientific explanation for its widespread usage in folk medicine. Total phenolic and flavonoid content of the aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extract of B. vulgaris leaf was determined according to established protocols. Moreover, structure and relative abundance of its active principles were determined using gas chromatography- mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). In vitro antioxidant mechanisms such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO?) radicals’ scavenging as well as ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) were performed following established protocols. GC-MS chromatogram of methanolic extract of B. vulgaris leaf showed that it contains 19 bioactive constituents of varying abundance and retention times. Methanolic extract contained more phenolics and flavonoids than the other two extracts tested. Free radical scavenging and ferric reducing potential was higher in the methanolic extract than the other two extracts used in the study. In conclusion, methanol extracted more bioactive phytochemicals and therefore exhibited higher antioxidant property than water and ethanol. Hence, for optimal medicinal usage of B. vulgaris leaf, methanol should be adopted for its extraction.

Background: Hypoestes rosea, an evergreen shrub belonging to the Acanthaceae family possess antiulcer potential amongst its several other medicinal properties, including usefulness as anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory agents. Objective: In this study, we investigated the anti-secretory effect of aqueous leaf extract of H. rosea as the possible mechanism for its antiulcer activity in gastric ulcer induced rats. Methods: 40 rats were divided into 2 experimental phases of 20 rats each. They were further separated into 5 groups as follows: Group 1 (Normal control: rat chow and water only). Group 2 Ulcer control: Indomethacin-induced (40mg/kg bw). Group 3: Low dose (100mg/kg bw). Group 4: Medium dose (200mg/kg bw). Group 5: High dose (300mg/kg bw). Phase 1 involved determination of ulcer lesion index and % inhibition. Phase 2 involved estimation of gastric acid secretion using the method of continuous perfusion with 10minutes aliquots titrated against 0.01N NaOH. Results: Aqueous extract of Hypoestes rosea produced a significant (P<0.05) dose-dependent decrease in ulcer lesion score with an accompanying increase in percentage inhibition at the various doses used in the study (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg bw). Also, there was a significant decrease in basal and histamine-induced acid secretion at all doses with the greatest effect observed at the high dose (300mg/kg bw). Conclusion: Results obtained showed that aqueous extract of H. rosea decreased gastric acid secretion possibly due to inhibition of Histamine receptors and may thus be the mechanism for its anti-ulcer activity.

Authors: Jha Brajesh Kumar , Mahaseth Suryanarayan , Sanjana Rajkumari
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Bacteremia and septicemia is a life threatening condition resulting in major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients. The aim of this study was to determine prevalence of bacteremia and septicemia among surgical ICU patients and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among the suspected cases from surgical ICUs of COMS-TH from July 2017 to December 2020. Blood samples were collected, processed, isolated and identified according to standard methodology. Multidrug resistance in Gram negative bacterial (MDR) and methicillin resistant S.aureus (MRSA) screening was done by following the standard protocol.
Results: A total number of 450 samples were processed, 48(10.7%) bacterial isolates from patients’ blood sample showed positive by culture from department of surgical ICUs, College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Nepal. This study showed more incidences of gram negative isolates which are responsible for septicemia as compared to gram positive isolates.
Most frequently used drugs like Ciprofloxacin (83.9%), Gentamycin (74.2%), Ceftrixone and Ampicillin (71.0%), Cefazolin and Chloramphenicol (67.7%), Ofloxacin (67.7%), Amikacin (64.5%), Amoxyclave (61.3%), showed high rate of resistance among the isolates. Cefotaxime and Co-Trimoxazole (58.1%) showed second highest resistance pattern among GNB isolates from ICU patients. The least resistance pattern among the GPC was found in drugs like Amikacin and Azithromycin (47.1%) and Vancomycin (35.3%) Meropenem (29.4%). Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CONS) had shown MDR 66.6% showed highest resistance pattern among Enterococcus spp, CoNS and S.aureus. This indicates most of the organisms were either moving towards resistance or already acquired resistance against antibiotics.
Conclusions : Blood culture positive rate of the isolates from surgical ICUs of COMS-TH was 48(10.7%) of the total 450 samples. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and S.aureus were most common pathogen causing bacteremia and septicemia. None of the antibiotics were 100% sensitive for P.aeruginosa, even Meropenem showed reduced sensitivity. Among all antibiotics Ampicillin and Amikacin followed by Ciprofloxacin has lowest sensitivity towards the organisms.

Introduction: The sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits and obesity are major health problems of current generation. High body mass index is directly related with high mortality rate, cardiovascular diseases, mental issues and difficulty in physical functioning. Normal weight and strength of muscle are indications of good health. Handgrip strength and endurance are the important parameters to assess the upper extremity muscular strength.
Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study in 400 medical students in Kathmandu Medical College, Bhaktapur (October 2021 to March 2022) with Institutional Review Committee approval (Reference no. 0106202102). The sample was collected by simple random sampling method. Height and weight were measured by Prestige stadiometer and body mass index was calculated. Student’s dominant hands grip strength and endurance time was measured by manual Grip Dynamometer. Data was analyzed by Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) software version 16 with Chi-square test.
Results:  Among 400 samples, female 217 (54.25%) and 183 (45.75%) were males. Female students with normal, overweight and pre-obese BMI had maximum and highly significant (p value = 0.00, 0.001 and 0.003 respectively) relationship with grip strength. Normal, pre-obese and obese male had highly significant relation with grip strength (p = 0.004, 0.00 and 0.002 respectively). Normal body mass index samples had maximum endurance time along with overweight male.
Conclusion: The normal body mass index samples had significant relation with hand grip strength and highest endurance time
