In Jombang Regency, the tourism sector is a new source of Regional Income (PAD), because in Jombang there are no Regional Regulations relating to tourism. So far, the management of the tourism sector is still haphazard, but the tourism sector has contributed to PAD. Apart from that, the tourism sector also contributes to reducing the number of poverty and alleviating poverty. However, during this pandemic, the contribution of the tourism sector to reducing poverty and alleviating poverty is very low, this is because many tourism sector businesses have been affected by the pandemic. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the impact of tourist visits on open unemployment and poverty alleviation. This research uses PATH Trimming model analysis with Natural Logarithmic Time Series data. The research results show that the results of sub-structure test 1 state that the results of testing hypothesis 1, which states that there is a negative and significant influence between the independent variable (X) on the endogenous (intervening) variable, are accepted. The results of testing sub structure 2 stated that the results of testing hypothesis 2, which stated that there was a positive and significant influence between the independent variable (X) on the endogenous (dependent) variable, were accepted. The results of hypothesis test 3, which stated that there was no negative and significant influence between the endogenous (intervening) variables Y1, Y2 and Y3 on the endogenous (dependent) variable Z1, were rejected.

Reading Habits and Stylistic Discrepancy in Northanger Abbey
Authors: Simon Rebeka
Published: August 2024

In the past decades, scholarly discourse surrounding Northanger Abbey has predominantly favoured a two-part structural division, attributing stylistic disparities to the novel’s extended composition and publication process. However, a more intricate perspective emerges from a division into three stylistically unique sections. This reflects more closely the different stages of Catherine Morland’s development and the impact of her reading habits within varying narrative contexts. While the novel explores the activity of reading books, it also delves into questions of interpreting and comprehending the world. Catherine’s fascination with Gothic novels serves as both a narrative device and a thematic exploration, reflecting her vivid imagination and the tensions between fiction and reality. This essay contends that the trichotomous division offers a more nuanced perspective on the interplay between narrative structure and character evolution. It emphasises the role of reading habits in Catherine’s growth and underscores the transformative potential of literature in shaping perspectives, shedding new light on the novel’s narrative style. To investigate the stylistic changes of Northanger Abbey and their correlation with Catherine Morland’s development, this essay utilises a blend of quantitative stylistic analysis and close reading, highlighting how Austen’s narrative technique reflects and shapes the protagonist’s journey.

Global warming with consequent climate change has been leading to innumerable natural disasters across the globe. It has been taking huge toll on life, livelihood, and men. Accordingly, global leadership have been brainstorming through different multilateral forums to hammer out policies and scientific interventions to arrest the rising temperature of planet earth. Developing countries and the least developed countries are getting increasingly vulnerable to such disasters for which they may not be the real culprit. The mitigation and adaptation programs require technology and finance on continuous basis with considerable enhancement each successive year. Developed countries which have developed at the cost of environment are being held more responsible for causing damages to environment hence should arrange for finance and ensure technology transfer, which they are not ready to accept. Accordingly, the leaders are breaking their heads to find a solution amidst ongoing blame game. Author has tried to explore the imperatives of climate finance and modalities of procuring fund to address the global problem. Keywords Climate, Finance, Global, CoPs, Climate Politics

Published: August 2024

Sodium chromium pyrophosphate (NaCrP2O7) blongs to a broader class of materials that includes ASnP2O7 and A2SnP2O7 (A=Al, Ga, Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) which have an interesting variety of crystal structures along with valuable physical properties. From a crstallography point of view, NaCrP2O7 adopts a monoclinic structure with the P21/c space groupe. DFT calculations on the structural, electronic and optical properties of NaCr1-xAlxP2O7 (x=0.125 and x=0.25)  with CASTEP package with both WC-GGA an PBE-GGA functionals to describe electron-ion interactions. The WC-GGA functional is used for the structural propeties in the ground state. The electronic and optical properties of the our materials Al-doped NaCrP2O7 were determined by making use of the PBE-GGA. Our calculation reveals that NaCrP2O7 is a semiconductor material with a direct band gap of approximately 2.77 eV. As concerns NaCr1-xAlxP2O7, the outcomes are qualitatively resembling to those obtained for NaCrP2O7 for both compositions being considered here (x=0.125 and x=0.25). The material remains having a direct band gap of 2.94 eV for x=0.125 and 3.44 eV for x=0.25, respectively. One may note that doping NaCrP2O7 with Al widens the band gap making the material more suitable for high temperature, high power, and high frequency applications. Furthermore, the obtained values of the band gap indicate that non-doped- and al-doped NaCrP2O7 is suitable for optoelectronic devices such as solar cells in particular.

Authors: Ngor Side Diagne
Published: August 2024

Persistent lumbosciatic after surgery is common, secondary to two essentially etiopathogenic mechanisms. They are also sources of physical disability among other things and the results on functional prognosis factors are contradictory. Objective: Our objective was to determine the functional prognosis factors of patients with persistent lumbosciatic after surgery. Methods: We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional study lasting 6 months, including the patients with lumbosciatic persisting beyond 4 weeks, after surgery. Patients with severe cognitive impairment were excluded. After identifying the initial impairments, the patients were invited for an assessment of functional capacities (Oswestry Disability Index) and quality of life (SF12). Results: 46 patient files were retained. The average age of the patients was 49.39±14.53 years. The sex ratio was 1 and more than ¾ of the patients were married (78.26%). Forty-three percent (43.48%) of patients were technicians. More than half of our patients consulted within less than 3 months (53.13%). Isolated discectomy (62.12%) was the main surgical procedure performed. After rehabilitation treatment, the average ODI score was 37%±18%. The functional prognostic factors are marital status, static spinal disorders, pain, paralysis in lower limb. They were associated with “sexual life, sleep, postural, intensity of pain, walking, physical dimensions”. Discussion and conclusion: Our results confirm certain functional prognostic factors for persistent lumbosciatic, after surgery ostoperative, in a context of late rehabilitation care. The most impaired functional areas are loading handling, walking, postural, pain intensity and sexual life.

Application of Ozone-catalyzed Oxidation Process for Degradation of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products
Authors: Zhang Feng
Published: August 2024

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) continue to be detected in water sources with far-reaching negative impacts, and removing these emerging contaminants has become a top priority. Conventional water treatment technologies make it difficult to effectively remove these contaminants. As an advanced oxidation technology, ozone-catalyzed oxidation has attracted attention for its efficient degradation of PPCPs. This paper reviews the basic principles of the ozone-catalyzed oxidation process in removing PPCPs. Compared with homogeneous catalytic ozonation technology, multiphase catalytic ozonation technology has the advantages of easy recycling, lower cost of water treatment, higher activity, and improved mineralization of organic matter, etc., and these catalysts improve the removal efficiency of PPCPs by promoting the decomposition of ozone to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). This paper also discusses typical examples of degradation of PPCPs by ozone-catalyzed oxidation processes, including gemfibrozil(GMF), ibuprofen (IBP), and ciprofloxacin (CIP). Finally, limitations of existing studies and future research directions are presented.

This study aims to explore a method for compiling a vehicle durability load spectrum based on road surface grade, in order to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for automobile durability design and testing. First, this paper reviews the classification standards of road surface grades and the characterization methods of road surface roughness, and analyzes the influence of different road surface grades on vehicle load. Secondly, through field measurement and statistical analysis, a load model under different road surface grades is established, and a time domain load signal that conforms to the actual road surface characteristics is generated using the filtered white noise method. Furthermore, combined with vehicle dynamics and load transfer mechanism, the response characteristics of the vehicle under different road surface grades are studied, and the vehicle durability load spectrum is compiled. The method of this study is characterized by comprehensively considering the statistical characteristics of road surface roughness and the dynamic response of the vehicle, ensuring the practicality and accuracy of the load spectrum. The effectiveness of the compiled load spectrum is verified by simulation analysis of the load spectrum under typical road surface grades. The research results show that the load spectrum can provide load input close to actual road conditions for vehicle durability tests, which is of great significance for improving the level of automobile durability design.

As doenças pulmonares pediátricas representam um desafio significativo na saúde pública, dada a sua crescente prevalência e as particularidades anatômicas e fisiológicas das crianças. As imagens radiográficas, incluindo radiografias de tórax e tomografia computadorizada, desempenham um papel crucial no diagnóstico dessas condições, permitindo a visualização detalhada das estruturas e funções pulmonares. No entanto, a precisão dessas imagens em comparação com outras ferramentas diagnósticas, como a ultrassonografia e a ressonância magnética, continua sendo um desafio, especialmente devido à exposição à radiação e à possibilidade de interpretações errôneas. Este estudo visa analisar a eficácia diagnóstica das imagens radiográficas em doenças pulmonares pediátricas e explorar como essas técnicas influenciam a tomada de decisões clínicas e o planejamento do tratamento, impactando diretamente os resultados de saúde das crianças.

La ganadería de rumiantes provee alimentos para el consumo humano ricos en proteína de alta calidad como la carne y la leche. Sin embargo, de acuerdo con la FAO, los bovinos contribuyen con aproximadamente el 62% del total de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) de origen ganadero con un aproximado de 5 Gigatoneladas de CO2eq a nivel global; mientras que los búfalos y pequeños rumiantes (cabras y ovejas) contribuyen con el 8 y 7%, respectivamente. El metano (CH4) de origen entérico, principalmente el que se genera en el rumen, representa 44% de los GEI. Es un gas 28 veces más potente que el dióxido de carbono (CO2) y, por lo tanto, una vez liberado a la atmósfera es perjudicial para el planeta. Además, la producción entérica de CH4 representa hasta 15% de pérdida de la energía consumida por el animal, repercutiendo en disminución de la eficiencia productiva del rumiante y pérdidas económicas para este sector. Se han evaluado diversas estrategias para disminuir la producción de CH4 en los rumiantes a través de la dieta tales como el uso de ionóforos, lípidos, nitrocompuestos, taninos, aceites esenciales, entre otros; no obstante, no han sido del todo eficientes ya que tienen efectos temporales en la reducción del CH4, son costosos o bien perjudiciales para los animales, pudiendo incluso dejar residuos en la carne y leche. Por ello, es necesaria la implementación de nuevos productos naturales y no tóxicos que favorezcan la disminución de la metanogénesis ruminal.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, yüksek mortaliteyle seyreden enfeksiyonlara yol açan fırsatçı bir patojendir. Bu çalışmada üniversite hastanesinde yatan hastaların kan kültürlerinde tespit edilen P. aeruginosa izolatlarının çeşitli antibiyotiklere karşı direnç profilinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Bu çalışmada Ocak 2018-Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında kan örneklerinden izole edilen P. aeruginosa izolatlarının antibiyotik direnç profilleri retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Klinik izolatlar konvansiyonel yöntemler, VITEK 2 Compact (bioMérieux, Fransa) veya Phoenix (BD Diagnostic Systems, ABD) otomatize sistemleri ile tanımlanmıştır. Antibiyotik duyarlılıkları otomatize sistemleri ile test edilmiş ve European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) önerileri dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmiştir.
En yüksek direnç imipenem (n=162, %39.4), meropenem (n=134, %32.6) ve piperasilin/tazobaktama (n=130, %31.6) karşı tespit edilmiştir. En etkili antibiyotiklerin ise amikasin (n=15, %3.6) ve tobramisin (n=17, %4.1) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Antibiyotiklerin direnç oranları yıllara göre incelendiğinde piperasilin/tazobaktam, seftazidim, sefepim, imipenem, meropenem ve levofloksasin direnç oranlarında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanırken (p<0.05), siprofloksasin, amikasin, tobramisin ve gentamisin direnç oranlarında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark görülmemiştir (p>0.05).
Antibiyotik duyarlılık test sonuçlarına göre uygulanan tedavi protokolü ve akılcı antibiyotik kullanımı ile direnç oranlarının azalacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle düzenli sürveyans takibi yapılmalı ve tedavide uygun antibiyotik kombinasyonları seçilmelidir.

The development of new rice varieties in Malaysia (NMR and Putra 2) has presented the need to characterize their techno-functional properties in food production. Starch, a main component of rice, has been applied in developing plant-based cheese analogs to mimic the textural characteristics of conventional dairy cheese. This study aimed to determine the effect of different types of starch on the physicochemical, textural, and thermal properties of palm milk cheese analog (PMCA). A total of 4 samples were produced with 0% starch as negative control (Sample A), 2% Putra 2 rice starch (B), 2% NMR rice starch (C), and 2% corn starch as positive control (D). The samples were subjected to physicochemical analyses of water activity, pH, titratable acidity, colour. Results indicated that PMCA showed greater storage moduli than the loss moduli representing dense interlinked weak gels supported by a less compact structure, and a rough surface was observed in the microstructure of samples with starch. In conclusion, the incorporation of different types of starches had a significant effect on the rheological properties of the PMCAs while having no significant differences on their physicochemical properties.

This study aimed to analyse the effect of cocultivation between Lactococcus lactis ATCC 11454 with Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 7469 through their growth profile, riboflavin and nisin production in 2.0 L stirred tank bioreactors. Batch fermentation was employed in the control (C) bioreactor, while fed-batch fermentation employed in bioreactor run (B1) and run 2 (B2), with different medium flow rates of 10 mL/min and 1.6 mL/min, respectively. Results showed that B1 was able to generate an increase of 33.5 % in riboflavin production and a 36% growth rate compared to C and B2. The application in the fermentation process resulted in a prolonged exponential phase, subsequently contributing to a longer metabolite production timeframe. The findings from this study provided an efficient prospect of LAB co-culture, potentially by extending riboflavin production time and increasing vitamin levels in fermented foods or facilitating the production of valuable metabolites.
