This study aims to determine the carrying capacity and profitability of developing beef cattle farming in the coconut land hold by coconut plantation companies. The research was conducted using a survey method on tenant farmers of coconut land that are managed by plantation companies, both state company and private companies holding land use rights (HGU) for coconut plantations. Data that are observed and measured in the field based on the results of interviews with respondents, as well as secondary data from related agencies. The analytical methods used are carrying capacity and profit predicted analysis. The results of the study were concluded as follows: (1) Potential carrying capacity of forage for cattle in coconut plantation company land has an average of 5.28 AU (Animal Unit) of cattles, while on average ownership of cattle only 2.06 AU of cattles each tenant farmer in coconut land that are managed by plantation companies, so that the number of cattle ownerships can still be increased by about 3.22 AU. Tenant farmers of coconut plantation companies land have the potential for the availability of forage on cultivated coconut land owned by coconut plantation companies, so that they can still increase the number of cattle kept.

Published: March 2023

Historical studies enable understanding past facts that may justify some reflections about the present, as well as taking back important professional and scientific characters and events in history. Among them, one finds Sebastião Ferreira Soares, who lived in Imperial Brazil and dedicated more than 40 years of his life working and studying to understand and present the existing accounting practices of his time, and to point out the weaknesses and potential of Brazilian public finances. Thus, the aim of the present study is to analyze how six of his works comply with the latest discipline matrices at the time, Decree 1,763 from May 14, 1856 and Decree 7,679 from February 28, 1880. It was done in order to link such discussions to accounting education formation in Brazil in the 19th century. Categories were formulated based on Bardin’s (2016). After the analysis, his contributions were made available by explicitly exposing the need of a clearer knowledge about accounting processes in Imperial Brazil, mainly when it comes to information transparency, circulating medium complexity, systematized public expenditures and incomes, line of conduct as duty of the public financier, as well as emphasis on economic and social welfare.
Nanobiotechnological Method for Studying Metabolically Active Natural Microbial Communities
Authors: DA Skladnev
Published: March 2023

An innovative nanobiotechnological express method for the detection of metabolically active microorganisms is proposed. The method is based on the inherent feature of microbial cells to generate metal nanoparticles during their metabolic activity in the process of reducing cations added in the system. The resulting nanoparticles are a new solid crystalline phase and can be detected with high accuracy by various physical methods. The technique was successfully tested and proved to be effective in the study of microbial activity in both samples from various cold ecosystems and pure psychoactive cultures from the genera Cryobacterium Methylophilus, Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus. This methodology can be used in ecology for monitoring the ecological state of natural ecosystems, in biotechnology for screening active samples when isolating industrially important microorganisms, and in astrobiology for identifying living metabolizing microbial cells in extraterrestrial environments

Published: March 2023

Living systematic reviews are a relatively new approach to keeping the evidence in systematic reviews current by frequent surveillance and updating. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Evidence-based Practice Center Program commissioned a living systematic review of plant-based treatments for chronic pain management. A prior white paper described challenges and practical and methodological considerations encountered during the first year of the living review. The current report builds and expands upon the prior white paper, with additional observations and experiences from the second year. This white paper focuses on four key issues encountered in year two of the living systematic review: (1) adapting or expanding review scope; (2) optimizing living review reports’ frequency and format; (3) utilizing ongoing input from experts; and (4) using data visualization and innovative methods to complement the living review reports.
A Brief Semantic Analysis on The Form and Function of Biak’s article ’ma’
Authors: Arsai Alfons , Sahid Suardi
Published: March 2023

Biak language, spoken by 50.000 to 70.000 native speakers, belongs to the West New Guinea subgroup of the Austronesian language family and is spoken in West Papua (formerly known as Irian Jaya), Indonesia, which is found  in the northern part of the Geelvink Bay. The typology of this language is SVO and has an agglutinative pattern in which the nouns are simple.This article aims to discuss the semantic function of particle ma in Biak language and to describe its form. The technique used to analyze the data is descriptive approach namely describing the data based on what people actually say by applying the morphological paradigm to see potential morpheme by morpheme in order to determine form, function, and meaning. By doing so, this approach helps to classify which morpheme in the morphological process that the particle ma is inflected or not inflected to in the verbs or other word categories. The finding of this study shows that  there are  eight semantic functions which are indicated by the particle  ma which has different meanings such as to show desire or volition, conjunction, reveal future condition, state reflexive pronoun, to derive verb into noun in morphological process of word formation, tense and mood, adverbial conjunction and phrasal verbs. Morphologically, there are two types of the morphemes in which the particle ma is attached to and is not attached namely as bound and free morphemes.

Authors: Rusmuliadi Rusmuliadi
Published: March 2023

The problem in the South China Sea is becoming increasingly complex because other parties also have strong regional interests. The other party was later called a non-claimant state in the South China Sea area. Non-claimant states ensure that international law of the sea is enforced in any part of the sea on the planet to guarantee safety and freedom to transport commodities with high economic value. These non-claimant states generally oppose China's actions that do not comply with the agreed UNCLOS. This juridical normative research presents the legal basis for the actions of non-claimant states in the South China Sea region based on relevant literature. This study describes the basis of international law and the interests and policies of non-claimant states such as Indonesia, the USA, the UK, Australia, the EU, Japan, and India over the South China Sea region.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: Jasminum subtriplinerve Blume Oleaceae is a herbal medicine widely used for weight loss and milk gland stimulation. Extract product has been generally used but has not much scientific evidence about its safety and effects. This study aimed to evaluate the semi-chronic toxicity and lipid-lowering effects of Jasminum subtriplinerve Blume leaf extract. The study was performed on Wistar rats and Swiss mice. For semi-chronic toxicity, extracts at doses of 18 mg/kg/day and 54 mg/kg/day showed their safety after 90 days of continuous oral administration in Wistar rats. There was no effect on body weight, hematopoietic parameters, hepatocellular destruction, or liver and kidney function in experimental rats. For the lipid-lowering effect, the extracts at 36 mg/kg/day and 108 mg/kg/day showed a marked decrease in the blood lipid indexes (total cholesterol, triglycerides, non-HDL-C) after 7 days of dosing in Swiss mice on an endogenous dyslipidemic model induced by Poloxamer-407.

Abstract: Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a common disease, especially increasing in young people, and affects the quality of life. Clinical signs of TMDs are various and complex. Diagnosis of symptoms and prognosis is essential. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study on 61 patients aged 19-23 who participated voluntarily from February to June 2022 at the Odonto-Stomatology clinic at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University. The results showed that the proportion of women with symptoms was higher than that of men. For the clinical symptoms, percentages of the limited range of mandibular movements and mouth gap deviation were quite high (77.0% and 68.9%, respectively). Joint sounds and arthralgia took 31.1% and 24.6%, while myalgia accounted for only 11.5%. In the joint, the pain was detected mainly on the outer surface of the joint (24.6%). In both genders, the masseter muscle was the most painful muscle group. Clinical symptoms are very important in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

Authors: OLORUNSOGO Samuel , ADEJUMO Bolanle
Published: March 2023

Flakes are instant breakfast meals, primarily produced from mono-cereals (corn, wheat, rice, and/or oats), processed with added flavor and fortified with vitamins and minerals. They are one of the several forms of cold cereals that are consumed immediately after mixing with milk, yogurt, or fruit. In this study, value-added instant flakes were developed, characterized and optimized; from blends of corn, millet, and soybean. A three-component constrained optimal (custom) mixture experimental design, with 30 randomized experimental runs, was employed for the formulation. The formulation design constraints were: corn flour (30% - 45%), millet flour (10% - 25%), and soybean flour (5% - 20%). Other components of the formulation, which were kept constant, were: water (19%), sugar (8%), malt (2%), egg (3%), sweet potato extract (3%), ginger (2%), and moringa seed powder (3%). The formulated flakes were analyzed and evaluated for the proximate, physicochemical and sensory characteristics using standard procedures. The result of the numerical optimization gave optimized instant flakes with an overall desirability index of 0.637, based on the set optimization goals and individual quality desirability indices. The optimal instant flake was obtained from 30.5 % corn flour, 11.2 % millet flour, 18.3 % soybean meal. The quality properties of this optimal instant flake were: 1.83 % moisture content, 9.05 % fat content, 1.74 % ash content, 2.66 % crude fibre, 38.0 % crude protein, 46.7 % carbohydrate, 420 kcal energy value and 6.28 overall acceptability. The result of the study showed that the formulated instant flakes were of high quality and that improving the nutritional quality of flakes is possible through grain-to-grain composite formulation. It is recommended that further study be carried out on the formulation of nutritionally improved instant flakes using other nutritionally rich grains and legumes such as groundnut, sesame seed, melon seed etc. Enrichment of flakes with protein-rich sources will result in flakes product with improved nutrient quality that meets the consumer’s dietary needs.

Published: March 2023

Köstendilli Süleyman Şeyhî, XVIII. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı ile XIX. yüzyılın başlarında, Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemlerinde, Balkan topraklarında yaşamış şairlerden biridir. Bulgaristan’ın batısında bulunan Köstendil’de dünyaya gelmiş olan şairin yaşadığı dönemde bu bölgede, özellikle Halvetî ve Nakşibendî tarikatı yaygındı. Süleyman Şeyhî (v. 1235/1819-1820) de aynı zamanda bir Nakşî şeyhidir. Dinî ve tasavvufî muhtevalı otuza yakın eser yazmış olan Köstendilli Süleyman Şeyhî’nin Divan’ı da vardır. Sosyal, kültürel, tasavvufî pek çok kavrama ve terime yer vermiş olan şairin Divan’ında dünya hayatına bakış açısını ve dünya algısını ortaya koyan bir kaside mevcuttur. Toplamda 27 beyitten müteşekkil olan manzume, Türk edebiyatındaki klasik kaside bölümlerine uygun olarak yazılmamıştır. Köstendilli Süleyman Şeyhî’nin Divan’daki diğer kasideleri de göz önünde bulundurulduğu zaman bu durumun şairin üslup özelliği olduğu dikkati çekmektedir. Divan’da yer alan söz konusu kasidede dünyayı “âlem, cihân, dâr, dehr, dünya, hayâl” kelimeleri ile ifade eden Köstendilli Süleyman Şeyhî, onu vefasız, fani, gelip geçici, kıymetsiz olması, bir oyun ve eğlence mekânı olması gibi genellikle olumsuz yönleriyle tavsif etmiş; böylelikle tasavvufî ve edebî geleneğin dünya algısına uygun bir bakış açısı ortaya koymuştur. Buna karşın eşref-i mahlûkat olarak yaratılmış olan insanın inci, elmas, mücevher gibi kıymetli eşyalar mesabesinde oluşuna sıklıkla vurgu yapmıştır. Bu sebeple insanın fıtraten sahip olduğu değerine ve izzetine uygun bir tutum sergilemesi, gafletten uzak durması için birtakım uyarılarda ve tavsiyelerde bulunmuştur. Çalışmada Köstendilli Süleyman Şeyhî hakkında kısaca bilgi verildikten sonra söz konusu kaside açıklanmaya ve tahlil edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Böylece son dönem sûfî şairlerden olan Süleyman Şeyhî’nin ve şiirinin anlaşılması için katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.

Authors: Talwariya Akash . , Sharma Santosh Kumar , Singh Pushpendra . , Kolhe Mohan .
Published: March 2023

DSM (Demand side management) is an approach have the objective to make our consumers energy efficient for long term. DSM can be designed to control the electricity consumption of individual users. DSM categorized the load in two groups’ base line load which are constant and uninterruptible loads and interruptible loads which can shift from peak duration to normal duration and their consumption duration is also manageable. Demand side Management for the consumer in the presence of storage units and DG’s is executed by NonCooperative Game Theory. Non-cooperative game theory deals with individual consumers without any cooperation with other consumers and provide the benefit to the active consumers who manage their load from peak hour to normal hour to reduce the PAPCR (peak to average power consumption ratio). DG’s generation is variable depending upon load forecasting and storage units also have some minimum and maximum capacity of storage will manage by machine learning with load forecasting used as learning source and storage units characteristics will manage by non-cooperative game theory. If assume that the energy provider adjudicate the electricity cost with reference to normal peak hour, consumer stop consuming electricity during peak hour and started to sell the electricity to energy provider to enhance their profit and store electricity during low cost hours and introduce a new peak at a different time frame. The system required another game for energy provider to manage the electricity cost on real time bases to stop the generation of new peak and try to minimize the PAPCR and minimize the benefit of the energy provider. Every energy provider and consumer want to earn maximum benefit. A new stackelberg game is introduce to provide maximum benefit to the provider. When a consumer shift their load to newly introduced peak duration, the energy provider will respond and accommodate the electricity price again. In stackelberg game energy provider part as leader and consumer will participate as followers. Objective of the research is to provide maximum benefit to the energy provider and active consumers; 1. INTRODUCTION design a mathematical model through the algorithm of non-cooperative game and stackelberg game for both consumer and energy provider respectively to find out the nash equilibrium between consumer and energy provider. The outcome of the problem will introduce by two defined games non-cooperative game will reduce the cost of electricity for the consumers have storage units and DG’s and manage the load and Stackelberg game will minimize the power to average consumption ratio.

Cómo nombrar lo innombrable. Un análisis de la metáfora del cuerpo en la poesía de Violeta Barrientos
Authors: Paredes Morales Judith Mavila
Published: March 2023

En este trabajo, se estudiará la escritura sobre el deseo invisibilizado que propone el poemario El innombrable cuerpo del deseo, publicado en 1992 por la poeta peruana Violeta Barrientos Silva. A través de la metáfora del cuerpo, la voz poética se enfrenta a la matriz heterosexual, transformando al cuerpo en un espacio donde el deseo hegemónico puede ser desarticulado, al hacer posible una serie de resistencias que permite pensar en una poética homoerótica. El poemario inicia con la metáfora del cuerpo unida a un deseo, donde se antepone el cuerpo a la razón; luego, nos presenta la imposibilidad de representar el deseo homoerótico dentro de un marco heteronormativo; posteriormente, evidenciamos una lucha por la representación de una voz homoerótica, la cual finalmente se hará evidente en la transgresión misma de la configuración de los géneros. Para desarrollar esta propuesta, nos apoyaremos en los conceptos de la retórica y los estudios de género, específicamente, la metáfora (Stefano Arduini, y George Lakoff y Mark Johnson), el cuerpo y la performatividad (Judith Butler) y el homoerotismo (Andrés Santana). Nos enfocaremos en los poemas que nos permitan responder a las interrogantes acerca del cuerpo y la construcción de un discurso de la resistencia homoerótica.
Bibliometric analysis of the Brazilian scientific response to the Zika epidemic: research pivots and thematic funding
Authors: Neves Kleber , da Costa Gabriel Gonçalves , Valério Bruna
Published: March 2023

In 2016, in face of the Zika virus outbreak, research funding was made available to study the virus and the scientific community directed its resources correspondingly. This resulted in several publications and increased understanding of the infection, the virus, its vector, associated syndromes and mechanisms. Brazil was particularly affected by the outbreak and at the same time had a prominent position in the global scientific production about the outbreak.In this study, we aim to characterize the researchers who engaged with Zika research in Brazil and how funding policy mediated the redirection of research towards particular themes. We performed a bibliometric assessment of the authors in Brazil who worked on Zika as a case study of how individual scientists respond to major changes in the macro research agenda.Using data from Web of Science, PubMed and the Lattes platform, we investigated (1) the pattern of researcher’s “pivots”, i.e. changes in research direction due to the Zika outbreak and (2) the correspondence between funding mandates and the research output.Our results show that while authors engaged with Zika research coming from more apparently distant fields - such as neuroscience -, most of the authors who studied Zika came from the expected fields and themes - infectious diseases or public health. Using a MeSH term-based classification, we also analyzed the output of a particular grant with an specific research agenda, finding a partial correspondence between the funding mandate and the output produced by the grantees.The results obtained are an important addition to our understanding of how research funding can contribute to preparedness policy - a need made more obvious with the COVID-19 pandemic - while opening up new questions and ways of studying the downstream effects of funding policies on individual scientists’ choices of research paths.
Explaining Brain–Behavior Relations: Inhibitory Control as an Intermediate Phenotype Between the N2 ERP and the Externalizing Spectrum in Childhood
Authors: Hosch Alexis , Swanson Ben , Harris Jordan L , Oleson Jacob , Hazeltine Eliot , Petersen Isaac T.
Published: March 2023

Identifying neural and cognitive mechanisms in externalizing problems in childhood is important for earlier and more targeted intervention. Meta-analytic findings have shown that smaller N2 event-related potential (ERP) amplitudes, thought to reflect inhibitory control, are associated with externalizing problems in children. However, it is unclear how (i.e., through which cognitive processes) N2 amplitudes relate to externalizing problems. We examined whether inhibitory control may be a cognitive process that links N2 amplitudes and externalizing problems in early childhood. Children (N = 147, 74 girls) were assessed at four time points, spanning 3–7 years of age. Children’s externalizing behavior was assessed via questionnaires completed by mothers, fathers, and teachers/secondary caregivers. Children’s inhibitory control was assessed using twelve performance-based tasks and two questionnaires. Developmental scaling linked differing measures of inhibitory control and externalizing behavior across ages onto the same scale. Children’s N2 amplitudes were extracted from electroencephalography data collected during a go/no-go task. Smaller N2 amplitudes were associated with externalizing problems and poorer inhibitory control. A concurrent analysis of indirect effects revealed that poorer inhibitory control partially explained the association between smaller N2 amplitudes and externalizing problems, even when controlling for the child’s age, sex, and socioeconomic status. This is among the first studies to link N2 amplitudes, inhibitory control, and externalizing problems during early childhood. Findings suggest that smaller N2 amplitudes may be an early neural indicator of inhibitory control deficits and externalizing psychopathology. Moreover, inhibitory control may be an important target for early intervention in the development of externalizing psychopathology.
You can’t play 20 questions with nature and win redux
Authors: Love Bradley C. , Mok Robert M
Published: March 2023

An incomplete science begets imperfect models. Nevertheless, the target article advocates for jettisoning deep learning models with some competency in object recognition for toy models evaluated against a checklist of laboratory findings; an approach which evokes Alan Newell's 20 questions critique. We believe their approach risks incoherency and neglects the most basic test; can the model perform its intended task.

This paper assesses the contribution of foreign employment and remittances to Nepalese economy and also identifies the information needs and gaps. An attempt is also made to assess the role of remittances in poverty reduction. At a time when the country's major economic indicators are not favorable, the remittances have played a vital role in maintaining macro economic stability and keeping the economy afloat. Though remittances sent home by migrant workers is a boon to the economy, the facilities are inadequate to back up the increasing trend of migration. Inadequate information on foreign employment, lack of skill training and lack of assurance of safe working environment and rights of the migrant workers have obstructed foreign employment.Formulation and effective implementation of pro poor migration policy is the need of today. The government should play a proactive role to promote foreign employment by inducting and adhering to the policy of economic diplomacy. Replicating the best practice of the region has to be endorsed in our national context for promotion and regularization of foreign employment, to encourage official transfer of remittance and to streamline the asset and skill of the returnees for the economic development of the country.

Information on the pattern of money-price relationship is crucial for formulating appropriate monetary policy and implementing it effectively. This paper re-examines the money-price relationship in Nepal following a new methodological framework for time series data analysis. Test results show that money supply significantly affects domestic price in Nepal. Indian inflation is the major factor that has largest impact on the price situation in Nepal. However, exchange rate is not found to be associated with the changes in price level in Nepal. Test results also show that money-price relationship in Nepal has become much stronger in the recent times in terms of the magnitude of impact.

¿Es la medicina la más humana de las ciencias y la más científica de las humanidades?
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Mayorga Madrigal Alberto Cuauthémoc
Published: March 2023

From a proposition that synthesizes the thought of Edmund Pellegrino, we offer an analysis of three positions on the relationship between medicine, science and the humanities. Starting from the question: Is medicine the most humane of sciences and the most scientific of the humanities? I intend to reflect on the forcefulness of the phrase that the American doctor and philosopher held and repeated in various places: "Medicine is the most humane of sciences and the most scientific of the humanities" (De Santiago, 2014a, p. 78). The proposition is relevant because it supports a proposal for harmony between apparently distant disciplines, vindicates the role of the humanities in various areas of culture, and proposes a foundational criterion for bioethics as a discipline that, in order to achieve its objectives, needs to engage in dialogue. the humanities with the life sciences. Edmund Pellegrino was an American physician who lived between 1920 and 2013. Much of his life was dedicated to reflecting on the link between the humanities and medicine, giving a great boost to bioethics in the United States and the world through his collaboration with UNESCO.

Background: Work schedules and conditions have a significant impact on the physical, mental, and social well-being of physicians. The purpose of this study is to determine the workload of physicians working in various departments of a tertiary healthcare centre, as well as the link between physician job load and specialty.
Methods: This Cross-Sectional study was carried out from October 2020 to November 2020 at KRL Hospital Islamabad. Hospital records were used to gather information about the number of patients. Four parameters, such as mental demand, physical demand, time and effort demands were evaluated.
Results: Gynecology had the highest patient load (23 percent), followed by pediatrics (21%) and surgery (14 %). Physically and mentally taxing specialties were urology and maxillofacial surgery. Psychiatry had the lowest demands in terms of mental, physical, time, and effort.
Conclusion: Our study shows that Urology and Internal Medicine are more time-consuming and stressful for the physician to perform. Physicians need better working conditions and less work, so we should focus on stress management and reduction for them.

Vaccine hesitancy against Covid-19 has been seen among HCWs. The main aim of the research was to find the hesitancy rates of vaccine among HCWs and the pulling and pushing factors to get vaccinated.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on HCWs. Questionnaires on Google forms were sent to all participants through their WhatsApp number and data was analysed through SPSS version 23.0.
Results: Out of 81 HCWs selected, 51.9% (n=42) were initially hesitant when the vaccine was first introduced. The main pulling factor initially to get vaccinated was to shield loved ones, 38.75% (n=31) and 46.2 % (n=37) of them received a booster dose of vaccine mainly due to employment requirements. Out of the total, 19.75% (n=16) are still hesitant even after vaccination and the most common pushing factors were fear of the side effects and inadequately tested vaccines.
Conclusion: Though the majority of the HCWs got vaccinated, vaccine hesitancy is still present among the HCWs and the major reason is uncertainty about the side effects it could cause in the long term.

Published: March 2023

This research deals with the study of the case of the Iraqi economy and the crises that occurred in it due to the country's dependence on non-traditional monetary policy tools. The accumulation of deficit in the general budget in Iraq is a result of the decline in public revenues and the increase in public expenditures due to the economic blockade and its negative repercussions, as well as the results of wars that cost the country money. This is why we find the divergence of monetary and fiscal policy measures according to what the monetary policy is that finances the deficit in the public budget and through its traditional and non-traditional levels, especially after the emergence of the remnants of the economic blockade, and thus the debts rose, which represent the total deficits of the general budget. We also note that the monetary policy proceeds according to the financial policy. The Central Bank is responsible for financing the deficit in the general budget through (the new monetary issue and quantitative easing) and these financing mechanisms structural imbalances in some monetary variables that prevent the central bank from financing the government, whether directly or indirectly.
