Published: October 2023

Beans (Vicia faba) contain some anti-nutritional compounds, especially vicine and convicine and their non-sugar derivatives, divicine and isouramil, which are responsible for the occurrence of Favism in people with hereditary deficiency of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). These study objective was estimation of vicine and convicine content and their distribution in dry and green bean parts during the growth stages, and the effect of beta-glucosidase from defatted apricot seed powder and some home-based processing conditions on elimination of these compounds from the bean. The results showed that the content of vicine & convicine in bean ranged from 22.7 mg/100 g in the seedling stage to 46.8 mg/100 g in the pods stage at 139 days. As for vicine, it ranged from 12.6 mg /100g to 29 mg/100g at the above stages respectively. While for convicine it ranged from 10.1 mg/100g to 17.8 mg/100 respectively. The enzymatic treatments showed significant elimination of those compounds as compared to non-enzymatic treatments. Additionally, other factors such as soaking temperature, pH, and time as well as cooking process had a positive effect on the elimination of those glucosides.

Published: October 2023

This research aimed to measure and analyze the impact of exchange rate shocks on some variables of the Iraqi economy during (1990-2022), because of the different effects of these shocks on the macroeconomic variables represented in money supply and agricultural output. Exchange rates are related to the policy chosen by the Central Bank of Iraq in managing the foreign exchange market and in the rentier nature of the Iraqi economy. The research uses a quantitative method in estimating the levels of the impact of exchange rate shocks on some economic variables. Several methods are conducted to achieve the goals, including the VAR model, variance decomposition and Impulse Response Functions. The results showed that exchange rate variance reached 100% in the same variable in the first year and decrease to 97% at the end of the period, and the same in the impulse response. It was an internal reaction that predicts what can be called the self-wave of an exchange rate rise, while both the variation and the response to the money supply shock in Iraq were dependent on the policy of the Central Bank and compatible with what was happening in the exchange rate, as the analysis of variance in the first year reached 38.98% for the same variable and 61% of it is due to the exchange rate. The results also showed that agricultural output was weakly affected by the exchange rate shock and money supply.

Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade das obturações endodônticas realizadas por alunos da graduação do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Tiradentes. Foram levantados os tratamentos endodônticos em dentes permanentes executados entre fevereiro de 2017 a dezembro de 2017 realizados por alunos do 6º ao 9º período de graduação. Um total de 109 radiografias foram analisadas, das quais a maioria (51,3%) eram dentes unirradiculares, obturados com Limite Apical de Obturação (LAO) coincidente com o forame apical (nível=0, 48,6%). Verificou-se ainda que 52,2% dos casos foram diagnosticados como pulpite irreversível, 11% com necrose pulpar e 9,1% representavam casos de retratamento endodôntico. Adicionalmente, observou-se que o número de sessões para a finalização do tratamento variou de 1 a 6 sessões, e apenas 8,2% dos casos foram concluídos em sessão única. Com relação à qualidade das obturações, 77,9% puderam ser consideradas satisfatórias e apenas 2,7% dos casos apresentavam extravasamento. Os resultados sugerem um índice elevado de obturações satisfatórias em tratamentos realizados por alunos de graduação sem manifestação de sintomatologia nem desenvolvimento de radioluscência periapical nos pacientes que apresentavam extravasamento.

Published: October 2023

The aim: To identify the main groups of expert defects that arise during the forensic assessment of changes detected during the examination of persons who died from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Materials and methods: A total of 102 repeated commission forensic medical examinations with changed conclusions in corpses with TBI were analyzed. Data processing and analysis were conducted using statistical methods.
Results: The examined forensic medical assessments of TBI with changed conclusions in corpses were categorized into the following groups: defects in estab¬lishing the diagnosis of TBI - 17.65±7.4%; defects in establishing the mechanism of TBI - 35.3±9.3%; defects in establishing the duration of TBI – 39.22±9.5%: sober - 20±12.4%; with alcohol intoxication - 80±12.4%. A combination of defects was found in 7.83±5.2% of cases. Defects that directly affected the experts’ incorrect establishment of the diagnosis, mechanism, and duration of TBI were also identified.
Conclusions: The largest number of changed conclusions during the forensic medical examination of corpses in cases of TBI was due to the wrongly established duration of the trauma, accounting for 39.2±9.5%, with the vast majority of cases (80±12.4%) observed against the background of alcohol intoxication. The mechanism of trauma accounted for 35.3±9.3% of the changed conclusions. The main defects were incomplete collection of material for histological examination (90.2±5.8%) and incorrect interpretation of the results of histological examination (76.48±8.2%), along with the violation of the method of sectional examination (68.6±9.0%). Different groups of expert defects predominated in the cases with an incorrectly established diagnosis of TBI, duration of trauma, and mechanism.

Published: October 2023

The aim: This paper deals with anxiety or fear-related disorders and philosophical interpretations of the phenomena of fear and anxiety.
Materials and methods: The authors used integrative anthropological approach, interpretive research paradigm, hermeneutical approach. The data collec¬tion was carried out using Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar databases. Research papers were identified according to search terms: “anxiety or fear-related disorders”, “fear”, “anxiety”, “phobia”, “psychology”, “psychotherapy”, “mental health”, “philosophy”, “being-in-the-world”, “human existence”.
Conclusion: It is obvious that philosophical interpretations of the phenomena of fear and anxiety cannot be defined in clinical terms, especially given the fact that modern psychology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry are shifting towards evidence-based practices. Furthermore, there are significant differences in determining the causes that provoke mental health disorders (nature, nurture, their interaction or something else) and accordingly in choosing treatment methods. Apparently, the position of the researchers/practitioners will be determined by their understanding of the root cause. However, more and more researchers are coming to the conclusion that the contemporary world demonstrates the urgent need for an integral, holistic paradigm of a human as an undivided, alive and organic, ideal and material being that should be understood in the context, taking into account the socio-cultural, biological, narrative, self-relational dimensions and his/her ability to transcend them. That is why the most effective way to help people with anxiety or fear-related disorders is to develop “the optimal combination of social assistance, psychological therapy, transpersonal experience, and medical treatment. It should be based on a new transdisciplinary paradigm and implemented by an interdisciplinary team of specialists”. In this process, a special role should be assigned to philosophy, which is able to expand horizons and find an approach to the core of a human being.

In this paper, we study developable surfaces which are flat and normal approximation of parallel surfaces along curves associated with three special vector fields. It is known that a surface whose points are at a constant distance along the normal of the surface is called a parallel surface. We investigate singularities of such developable surfaces. We show that under what conditions the approach surfaces are parallel. Also, we show that the approach surfaces are constant angle ruled surfaces if the curves selected on the surfaces are isophote, relatively normal-slant helix and helix.

Palm sugar is widely produced in the North Lombok region, but the production process is still conventional. Consequently, the probability of metal contamination and microbial contamination is very high. This study aims to assign the safety characteristics of palm sugar in Menggala Village, North Lombok, in guaranteeing public health by analyzing the possible contamination. The requirements of factors are based on SNI 3743-2021 for metal contamination and SNI 7388:2009 for microbial contamination. This study used samples from Menggala Village, North Lombok, in November 2021. Samples were taken from one batch of the final product at the production house center, as much as 2 kg from 5 kg of total production. Heavy metal content was analyzed using AAS and ICP-OES. Analysis of Total Viable Count (TVC) and Total Yeast and Mold Count (TYMC) used the pour-plate TPC method, while the coliform test was analyzed using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The results of heavy metal contamination meet the SNI 3743:2021 standard. So, the palm sugar is free from these. The results of the TVC and TYMC meet the SNI 7388:2009 standard. However, the palm sugar does not meet the established criteria of SNI 7388:2009 for coliforms. The amount of presence above the threshold is the possible presence of pathogenic microbes that are harmful to human health. The cleanliness factor is the main factor causing the high value of coliform analysis. Several recommendations can be implemented, namely improving hygiene and sanitation facilities for workers, maintaining worker hygiene such as washing hands before and after processing, going to the toilet, handling dirty materials, and wearing clean clothes with head coverings, gloves, masks, or work shoes. Training and education programs are required, and incentives for workers to comply with these standards.
Examining the Division of Housework among Potato Farmers in Serang Village Karangreja District Purbalingga Regency
Authors: Shabila Riany Aulia , Qonita Siti Mazidatul
Published: October 2023

Karangreja Sub-District is a potato-producing area. One of the producing areas is in Serang Village. Potato production in the sub-district has fluctuated due to several factors, namely fertilizers, pesticides, land area, and labour. Fertilizers and pesticides do not affect potato production. Potato farmers in Serang Village collaborate with the company so that the amount and type of fertilizers and pesticides used are the same. The land area also does not affect potato production because the land used is always the same. Labour is a factor that needs to be investigated further. This study examines the distribution of housework among potato farmers in Serang Village, Karangreja Sub-District, Purbalingga Regency. The research focuses on three aspects: 1) the distribution of productive housework, 2) the distribution of reproductive housework, and 3) the distribution of social housework. A qualitative descriptive approach is used, and the sample consists of 35 potato farmers selected through simple random sampling. Data is collected through questionnaires, observations, and document analysis. The Moser approach and work time outlay are used for data analysis. The findings reveal that productive housework, such as land preparation, planting, and harvesting, is predominantly carried out by husbands. Reproductive housework, including cooking, cleaning, and childcare, is mainly performed by wives. Social housework varies between husbands and wives, such as participation in recitation activities and farmer group meetings. The study contributes to understanding potato farmers' division of labour and housework.
Legal Implications of the Law of Child Act on the Intestate Rules of Customary Law in Tanzania
Authors: Mgomba Fatuma Adam
Published: October 2023

This paper explores legal implications of Child Act, 2009 concurrently with the intestate rules of customary law in Tanzania (to be on referred as intestate rules). From the discussion it is evident that little study has been done on this area of law since the colonial masters left 60 years ago. The main issue that this paper identifies is the inequality in provisions of the intestate succession laws, which is contrary to the provisions of equality, brought about by the Law of Child Act dispensation. The article also seeks to unearth contradictory application of the intestate rules of customary law in Tanzania. Reference is made to the leading judicial decisions which directly affects and alters the intestate rules. This is followed by a brief discussion of unequal intestate rules and judicial decisions. The inroads to be made in order to improve children right to parental property in this field of intestate rules are suggested including reform in this area of law. This study is limited to the applicability of codified intestate rules from patrilineal societies as provided under the Local Customary Law Declaration Order (NO. 4), GN 346/1963(to be referred as GN 436/63 to be referred as GN 436)

Eine Explorationsstudie im Rahmen eines expliziten Problemlösetrainings: Der Fall der heuristischen Strategie des Rückwärtsarbeitens
Authors: Kuzle Ana
Published: October 2023

In einem Design-Forschungsprojekt zum Problemlösen wurden theoriegeleitete und praxisorientierte Materialien entwickelt mit dem Ziel, die systematische Entwicklung der Problemlösungskompetenz von Schüler:innen durch das Erlernen von Heurismen gezielt zu fördern. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde dabei auf die heuristische Strategie des Rückwärtsarbeitens gelegt, die sich für Schüler:innen als schwer erlern- und anwendbar erwiesen hat. In der Studie nahmen 14 motivierte Schüler:innen der Klasse 5 an einem expliziten Heuristik-Training teil. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Schüler:innen, obwohl sie vor dem expliziten Training intuitiv ihre Denkprozesse umkehrten, Schwierigkeiten beim Lösen komplexer Umkehraufgaben hatten, was sich nach dem expliziten Heuristik-Training deutlich verbesserte. Somit zeigten die Studienergebnisse, dass die entwickelten Materialien mit dem design-basierten Forschungsansatz die Entwicklung der geistigen Beweglichkeit der Schüler:innen beim Problemlösen durch Rückwärtsarbeiten förderten. Am Ende der Arbeit werden die Ergebnisse im Hinblick auf ihre theoretischen und praktischen Implikationen diskutiert.

Authors: Werge Christian
Published: October 2023

An einem Dutzend Konstruktionsaufgaben zu rechtwinkligen Dreiecken mit gegebener Hypotenuse, die sich lediglich in einer einzigen gegebenen Größe unterscheiden, werden unterschiedliche Lösungswege und heuristische Ansätze dargestellt, teils auf Schulbüchern aus dem 19. Jahrhundert basierend. Im Fokus stehen Ortslinien, die durch eine gewisse Variation gegebener Größen mit Hilfe eines DGS (GeoGebra) entstehen sowie algebraische Berechnungen, die den Zirkel-und-Lineal-Konstruktionen zugrunde liegen. Wenn möglich, werden auch schulübliche (traditionelle) Lösungswege beschritten.

Published: October 2023

Recently, Nigeria has become increasingly cognizant of the need to orientate their citizens on quality and affordable health care through pre-payment schemes. Health Insurance (HI) is one factor driving the movement to develop and disseminate a better Health Information Literacy (HIL) that will be easily accepted by the people (literate or illiterate) of Nigeria. To outline some new approaches to HIL instruction through the use of information professionals to improve on the existing norm. Archival study analysis, with results from a segment of the-mixed method study data of a Baseline Survey (BS) report of 2021 and other related literatures. The BS report showed that there is inadequate knowledge and access to information on Health Insurance. Also, it outlined the immediate challenges of HI as perceived by the respondents. The paper offers new techniques for HIL through the official integration of information professionals as part of the process in educating people on HI.
Sensitivity and Stability Analysis of Tuberculosis Disease with Infectious Latent
Authors: Eli I. C. , Okrinya A. B.
Published: October 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) is a dangerous contagious disease which can even lead to death if no control measure is applied. The disease is caused by mycobacterium which generally affects lungs and other related organs such as lymph gland, intestine, kidneys, uterus, bone and brain. The spread of TB occurs via the bacteria contaminated air which is inhaled into the lungs. Cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, appetite loss, weight loss, fever, cold and fatigue are some of the symptoms of TB. However, we proposed a mathematical model to investigate the transmission dynamics of tuberculosis and it is investigated analytically that the endemic equilibrium point is stable with the help of Routh-Hurwitz criteria. The sensitivity analysis shows that there would be an epidemic if and only if β≈β^1, where β^1≤0.1. Finally, using Matlab, it is shown that the disease free equilibrium is unstable which the endemic equilibrium becomes stable beyond 60 days. In addition, the recovered population increased rapidly while the exposed population decreased steeply in the disease-free equilibrium. It is an indication that there will be no outbreak of the tuberculosis infection. Besides, an increased in the effective contact rate increases both the infected population and recovered population. It is equally inferred that the recovered population do not show a trend pattern as ∝ increases while the susceptible and infected populations increased and decreased respectively as ∝ is increased. The recovered population showed no response pattern for ∝ since recovered individuals do not obtain permanent immunity.

Objetivo: avaliar o efeito do estresse salinidade, por meio da irrigação, sobre a altura das plantas de capim elefante cv. BRS Capiaçu. Métodos: O experimento foi conduzido na Faculdade de Tecnologia CENTEC - FATEC Cariri, Ceará, utilizando um delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC) com 15 repetições por tratamento. Avaliou cinco níveis de salinidade na água de irrigação (0,6; 1,8; 3,0; 5,0 e 10,0 dS m-1). Foram semeados 100 colmos com 01 gema e escolhidos os 75 mais vigorosos. Aos 15 dias após o plantio, realizou o corte de uniformização e iniciou a aplicação dos tratamentos. A cada 07 dias mensurou a altura das plantas, totalizando 04 mensurações durante o período experimental. Após a coleta dos dados, os mesmos foram tabulados em planilha eletrônica Excel e posteriormente gerados gráficos de dispersão com equações de regressão e coeficiente de determinação. Resultados: Observou-se que a altura foi maior para as plantas irrigadas com 0,6 ; 1,8 e 3,0 dS m-1, apresentando altura de 32,72; 35,18 e 33,98 cm, respectivamente. Entretanto, as plantas que receberam 5,0 dS m-1 tiveram um comportamento quadrático decrescente, com maior altura aos 14 dias de 31,36 cm. E as que foram irrigadas com 10,0 dS m-1 apresentaram a menor altura. Conclusão: O BRS Capiaçu na fase inicial é tolerante à salinidade de até 3,0 dS m-1.
