Retail Packaging of Cabbage
Authors: Bayogan Emma Ruth , Macario Carmelita
Published: May 2023

At 6 days from treatment, most of the unpacked and packed cabbage heads except those Cling-wrapped had moderately reduced visual quality. Also noted were the rotting of the butt-end and the cabbage head which were fastest in cabbage packed in polyethylene bag (PEB) and slowest in cabbages in cellophane- Leaf yellowing was similarly fast in cabbages in PEB and slowest in Cling-wrapped cabbages. At 9 days from treatment, weight losses ranged from 0.34 to 3.64% in cabbage heads in the various film bags relative to a 10.49% weight loss registered by the unpacked cabbages. Though not significant, only MA Bagging C delayed the onset of decay. MA Bagging C and D as well as Cling wrap slightly improved the shelf-life of the cabbage heads. Retail packaging in film bags/overwrap can be beneficial for a period of 5 days after which trimming of the cabbage heads become necessary.
The Geometric Index of the Wheel, Wn
Authors: Baylon Rowena
Published: May 2023

The geometric index of a graph G is defined as the smallest non-negative integer n such that a graph G is a unit graph in r. Graphs considered are finite, undirected, without loops nor multiple edges. Also, edge crossings are allowed in the figures but distinct vertices must have distinct coordinates and that the line segment joining adjacent vertices must not pass through any other vertex. In this paper, the geometric index g of the wheel Wn (n 3, 4, 5,…) is discovered and proven. The results of this study may serve as a benchmark information to other researchers interested in expanding the study of geometric index on all graphs.

One hundred percent (100%) mortality of F. virgata was attained 54 hours after application in all treatments with J. curcas. A mixture of 2 ml extract plus 50 ml distilled water showed significantly highest insect mortality 6, 12, and 18 h after treatment. Changes in color from whitish to yellowish and eventually to dark brown; shrinkage of the body; and straightening of the legs were some of the observable postmortem characteristics of mealy bugs after treatment with the extracts.
Sprouting of Yam Bulbils as Affected by Chemical Treatment
Authors: Bayogan Emma Ruth , Bautista Ofelia
Published: May 2023

The sprouting of yam (Dioscorea alata cv. Baligun-on) bulbils treated with ethephon (up to 10,000 ppm) and calcium carbide (up to 100,000 ppm) was neither hastened nor delayed. In contrast, gibberellic acid (GA3) from 75 to 300 ppm progressively delayed sprouting and reduced weight losses. The extension of dormancy was in the range of 18 to 33%. Bulbils treated with 300 ppm GA3 took longest to form the calyptrae, show purple color and initiate sprouting. The lots treated with 300 ppm GA3 thus exhibited the lowest sprouting coefficient. GA3-treated yam bulbils tended to produce the shortest sprouts.

Published: May 2023

The 35sqm backyard mango nursery was located at Dahican in Mati, a suitable site that was 4.7 kilometers away from Poblacion, Mati, Davao Oriental. Farm materials and other supplies needed in the nursery were readily available. Two laborers were employed on a contractual basis. The project had an initial investment of P8,659.00. The operation ran from July to December 1998 for a total of 6 months (1 cropping season) with all of the propagules disposed within the period. The mortality incurred after grafting was 2.83%. The nursery obtained a net income of P5,666.00 and a return on investment (ROI) of 65.43 %. The price of P 25.00 per grafted mango was pegged based on the costs incurred. The grafted mango seedlings were easily sold on cash basis making it possible to recover the initial capital invested. These were sold to the Department of Agriculture in Mati, Mango Growers' Cooperative and other farmers engaged in mango growing. The project is deemed sustainable as it can be readily repeated. Demand is shown to be high in the next few years.

Authors: Bayogan Jonathan
Published: May 2023

The study developed and validated a readability formula using measurable variables of readability for physics instructional materials. In developing the formula, .30 reading passages of no less than 100 words each were selected from 18 different books used in Philippine schools. These books were used in the elementary, secondary and collegiate levels. The passages were assigned a readability level by teachers engaged in education for at least 9 years. The readability level scale was from 4 to 16, representing the primary grades (Level 4) up to advanced or graduate level (Level 16). Twelve (12) variables were measured based on the textual and graphical characteristics of the passages. Measurable readability variables used were: Presence/absence of mathematical equation (MEQ), percentage of mathematical words (PMW), percentage of words associated to physics (PWAP), and average sentence length (ASL); Percentage of derived concept words (PDCW), percentage.  of words specific (PWSP), average word length (AWL), and presence/absence of graphics element (GRA); and Percentage of PEP (people, events, places) words (PPEP.W), and percentage of PEP sentences (PPEPS). Multiple regression analysis using readability level as criterion resulted in three equally plausible readability formulas. Comparative analysis of the three formulas' proportion of explained variance, residuals, scatterplots and outliners led to the selection of the best model. This was called the 1B Formula and is stated as (PDS = 5.5516 + 0.0949 ASL + 0.0951 PMW +0.0506PWSP) where (ROS = Reading Difficulty Score), ASL (Average Sentence Length), PMW (Proportion of Mathematical Words), and PWSP (Proportion of Words Specific to Physics).

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting motor function in children. Early intervention (EI) has been shown to improve motor outcomes in infants with CP, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. This longitudinal study investigated the impact of EI on motor outcomes and its association with neuroimaging correlates in infants with CP in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Methods: We recruited 60 infants diagnosed with CP aged 6-18 months in Surabaya, Indonesia. Participants were randomly assigned to either an EI group receiving 6 months of individualized, home-based intervention or a control group receiving standard care. Motor function was assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Advanced neuroimaging techniques, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), were used to assess brain structure and function at baseline and 12 months.
Results: Infants in the EI group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in GMFM-88 scores compared to the control group at 6 and 12 months (p < 0.05). DTI revealed increased fractional anisotropy (FA) in the corticospinal tract and corpus callosum in the EI group at 12 months, indicating improved white matter integrity. fMRI showed increased functional connectivity in motor networks in the EI group compared to the control group at 12 months.
Conclusion: Early intervention significantly improved motor outcomes in infants with CP in Surabaya, Indonesia. These improvements were associated with enhanced white matter integrity and functional connectivity in motor-related brain regions. Our findings highlight the importance of early intervention in promoting neuroplasticity and improving motor function in infants with CP.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a frequently performed procedure for chronic rhinosinusitis in Indonesia. Effective postoperative pain management is vital for patient comfort, early recovery, and minimizing healthcare expenses. This study compared the efficacy of different analgesic regimens in managing postoperative pain after ESS in an Indonesian population.
Methods: This prospective, randomized controlled trial involved 120 patients undergoing ESS at a tertiary hospital in Indonesia. Patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups: Group A received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine, Group B received a combination of intravenous ketorolac and oral paracetamol, and Group C received oral paracetamol alone. Pain intensity was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. The requirement for rescue analgesia and the occurrence of adverse effects were also documented.
Results: Group A (PCA with morphine) exhibited significantly lower VAS scores at all time points compared to Group B (ketorolac and paracetamol) and Group C (paracetamol alone) (p<0.001). Group B showed lower VAS scores than Group C at 2 and 6 hours postoperatively (p<0.05). The need for rescue analgesia was significantly higher in Group C compared to the other groups (p<0.001). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was higher in Group A, while constipation was more frequent in Group B.
Conclusion: Intravenous PCA with morphine provided superior postoperative pain control after ESS compared to other analgesic regimens. However, the increased incidence of nausea and vomiting should be taken into account. A combination of intravenous ketorolac and oral paracetamol presented a suitable alternative with a more favorable side effect profile. Further investigation is necessary to optimize pain management protocols for ESS in the Indonesian population.

Authors: Nazimah Syarif  , Vita Amanda  , Shina Abdulkadir
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an otologic emergency characterized by an unexplained, rapid loss of hearing, usually in one ear. Identifying prognostic factors for hearing recovery is crucial for guiding treatment strategies and patient counseling. This study aimed to determine the prognostic factors associated with hearing recovery in a cohort of SSNHL patients in Singapore.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 150 patients diagnosed with SSNHL at three tertiary referral hospitals in Singapore between January 2019 and December 2022. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics (degree and configuration of hearing loss, presence of vertigo and tinnitus), treatment modalities (corticosteroids, hyperbaric oxygen therapy), and hearing outcomes at 1, 3, and 6 months following diagnosis were collected. Hearing recovery was defined as an improvement of at least 15 dB in pure-tone average (PTA) across frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of hearing recovery.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 47.5 ± 12.8 years. Complete hearing recovery was observed in 48% of patients at 6 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that younger age (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98, p=0.003), absence of vertigo (OR = 3.15, 95% CI: 1.52-6.53, p=0.002), and prompt initiation of corticosteroid therapy (OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.38-5.97, p=0.005) were independent predictors of favorable hearing recovery. The degree of initial hearing loss and the presence of tinnitus were not significantly associated with hearing outcomes.
Conclusion: Younger age, absence of vertigo, and early initiation of corticosteroid therapy are associated with better hearing outcomes in Singapore patients with SSNHL. These findings underscore the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to maximize the chances of hearing recovery.
The Role of Vestibular Rehabilitation in the Treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in Brazil: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Juan Pablo Fernando Rodriguez  , Sarah Fernandez
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a prevalent vestibular disorder causing recurrent episodes of vertigo. Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a recognized treatment for BPPV, but its effectiveness in the Brazilian population remains to be fully elucidated. This randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the impact of VR on BPPV outcomes in Brazil.
Methods: 120 participants diagnosed with BPPV were randomly assigned to either a VR group (n=60) or a standard medical care (SMC) group (n=60). The VR group received a personalized program comprising canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM) and vestibular exercises, while the SMC group received medication and lifestyle advice. The primary outcome was the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score at 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes included vertigo frequency and intensity (assessed via a Vertigo Diary) and balance function (measured using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test). Assessments were conducted at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks.
Results: Both groups showed improvement in DHI scores over time. However, the VR group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in DHI scores at 4 weeks compared to the SMC group (p<0.05). Vertigo frequency and intensity also decreased significantly in both groups, with the VR group exhibiting a more pronounced reduction (p<0.05). Similarly, TUG test performance improved in both groups, but the VR group showed significantly better improvement at 4 weeks (p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study provides evidence supporting the effectiveness of VR in treating BPPV in the Brazilian population. VR, incorporating CRM and vestibular exercises, resulted in significant improvements in dizziness-related handicap, vertigo symptoms, and balance function compared to SMC alone. These findings underscore the importance of integrating VR into BPPV management in Brazil.
Lawful but awful 'legal corporate crimes'
Authors: Passas Nikos
Published: May 2023

By concentrating on what is officially defined as illegal or criminal, an even more serious threat to society is left out. This threat is caused by a host of company practices that are within the letter of the law and yet, they have multiple adverse social consequences. Quite often, the main reason why these practices remain legal and respected is that these industries are able to mobilize financial and other resources in order to avoid stricter regulation. The recent revelations regarding the tobacco industry illustrate the point. Tobacco is merely one of several industries that clash with the public interest. Additional illustrations can come from the gambling industry, weapons makers, private security firms, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology firms, offshore financial institutions, law firms, and antiquities traders. The argument of this paper is that we have set our priorities wrongly by overlooking crime and malpractices with far more negative consequences than the official crime problem. Instead of attempting to remedy this problem, we are moving in the opposite direction compounding the problems. The practices of many industries, in other words, are lawful but awful both for underprivileged people or countries and for global capitalism itself.
Combating trafficking of cultural heritage
Authors: Krstić Gordana
Published: May 2023

The criminal offences regarding cultural property include qualified forms of criminal offences and hard and rigorous sanctions. The public prosecutor, who manages preinvestigation proceedings and conducts investigations, and police should work urgent, so it is necessary to finish the forensic examination of the criminal place, to find all marks and objects, which may serve as evidences, post a wanted circular for a person and objects being searched for, in order to identify the perpetrators. In case when these types of crimes are committed by the organized criminal groups, public prosecutor in coordination with the police makes actions and special evidenciary actions, such as covert interception of communications, covert surveillance and audio and video recording, controlled delivery, undercover investigator and simulated deals. Bearing in mind that in practice there isn't significant number of criminal complaints submitted to the competent public prosecutor for crimes which objects are criminal goods, this situation can be consequence of several reasons, for example: some of these crimes are not recognized and perpetrators are not identified, some of these crimes are not reported to the competent authority, digitalization and modernization of the museums and libraries insure better protection of cultural property, small number of tax administration officers and police officers, who deal with this crimes, lack of technical capacities, lack of seminars and projects which have the aim to prevent these crimes and to improve the significance of cultural heritage for civilization. No matter of all these difficultes, public interest for cultural heritage exists because of the fact that cultural heritage makes the base of identification of one population who lived in certain local place. Insuring care of cultural heritage is primary interest of every state. In case that someone steals cultural property, or it becomes the object of illicit traffic, forging the documents of origin or undertaking actions of vandalism against cultural goods it is important to exist guarantees of efficient fulfilling actions and measures of competent authorities, urgent taking actions and to insure that qualified professionals work in this field. Adequate mechanisms for good and reliable cooperation and connection of competent authorities for identifying cultural goods, revealing the crimes and locating the cultural properties are conditions for success of criminal proceedings.
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and the treatment of acute coronary syndrome: Does the use make sense?
Authors: Begić Edin , Aziri Buena
Published: May 2023

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) represent a therapeutic modality option for type 2 diabetes mellitus. This group of drugs includes dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, ertugliflozin and sotagliflozin. Given their proven benefit in the scope of heart failure through clinical studies, they have also gained their place in patients with reduced, moderately reduced, or preserved systolic function of the left ventricle. Due to the effect on both the systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle, and the neurohumoral activity itself, their range of use has been expanded in patients without a history of diabetes mellitus, and empagliflozin in a dose of 10 mg, as well as dapagliflozin in a dose of 10 mg, have been implemented in patients without diabetes mellitus. New directions for the expansion of the use of SGLT2 inhibitors have pointed towards their applicability in acute heart failure (sotagliflozin) and type 1 diabetes (sotagliflozin). Recently, clinical studies concerning the use of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), appeared. The aim of this paper was to highlight the possible benefit of including SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with ACS.
The relationship between reading skills and fine motor abilities in younger school-age children
Authors: Buha Nataša , Banković Slobodan , Gligorović Milica
Published: May 2023

Introduction. The role of motor skills in reading seems counter-intuitive, and thus it has played a minor role in studies on predictors of reading skills. The results of some studies indicate that the connection between motor skills and reading is present and that it depends on the examined motor component. Objective. The aim of this research was to determine the relation between visuomotor coordination and visuomotor integration with reading skills in younger school-age students. Methods. The sample included 103 participants aged 9 to 11 years. A Likert-type scale with four descriptors covering the most common types of problems during reading was used to evaluate reading skills. Fine motor skills were assessed with the subtests of the Acadia Test of Developmental Abilities - Visuomotor Coordination and Sequencing and Figure Copying. Intelligence, working memory, and inhibitory control were selected as covariates. Intelligence was assessed by Raven's Progressive Matrices, working memory by the Digit Span Backward task, and inhibitory control by the Go/NoGo task. Results. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that visuomotor coordination and working memory are independent predictors of reading skills. Visuomotor coordination explains 5.2% of the variance after removing the influence of intelligence and basic executive functions. A statistically significant relationship between visuomotor integration and reading skills was not found, so visuomotor integration was not considered a predictor in further analysis. Conclusion. When considering the importance of fine motor skills, it is necessary to analyze its individual components, because the results of this, as well as previous studies, indicate that not all aspects of fine motor skills are equally important factors in the development of reading skills. In the context of preventing difficulties in learning to read, it would be desirable to apply activities that would stimulate the development of fine motor skills and working memory from preschool age.

Authors: Feizi Hassan , Javedanipour Elham
Published: May 2023

In order to evaluate the effect of magnetic field intensities and concentrations of TiO2 nanoparticles on seed germination and seedling growth of Cannabis sativa L., this study was conducted. The experimental treatments included magnetopriming at intensities of 0, 30, 60, and 90 mili Tesla (mT), and the second factor included nanopriming at different concentrations of TiO2 nanoparticles, including 0, 10, 50, and 100 ppm. The results showed that sowing cannabis seeds by the combined use of magnetic fields and TiO2 nanoparticles had a significant effect on most of the studied traits. The effect of magnetic field levels showed that the highest dry weight of radicle, hypocotyl and seedling, the highest percentage of germination, germination rate, germination index and germination vigor index were related to the magnetic field at the intensity of 90 mT (5.3, 7, 6.8, 54.6, 110.9, 55.4, and 31.5% increase compared to the control, respectively). The results showed that the length and dry weight of radicle, hypocotyl and seedling were affected at the concentration of 10 ppm of TiO2 nanoparticles (2.84, 0.29, and 1.63, 0.62, 20.55 and 2.37%, respectively increase compared to the control). According to the study results, the decreasing trend of hypocotyl and seedling length was observed with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles. It is suggested to use the magnetic field as a non-invasive and non-destructive growth promoter of the plant and low concentrations of TiO2 nanoparticles as a useful tool to increase seed permeability through improving morphological and physiological properties for medicinal-industrial plant cannabis.

Published: May 2023

Wheat is considered the most important food crop globally. Genetic transformation provides a method for genetic manipulation of wheat to enhance its agronomic performance. Wheat is a difficult crop for genetic transformation. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation facilitates precise integration of genes into the plant genome compared to biolistic approach. In the present research, we studied the effect of acetosyringone concentrations, genotypes and embryo explant types (intact or longitudinally halved-embryos or fragmented latitudinal pieces) on transformation frequency for immature embryos derived from four different genotypes of bread wheat (Achtar, Amal, Mehdia, and Rajae). Embryo explant types were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA101 harboring the plasmid vector pTF101.1 carrying the barley HVA1 drought tolerance gene and bar-selection marker for resistance to the herbicide phosphinothricin. The effects of the genotype, embryo explant type, and acetosyringone concentrations on the frequency of phosphinothricin resistant bread wheat plantlets regeneration after transformation with Agrobacterium were significant. Transgenic plants were generated from longitudinally-halved immature embryo and intact-immature embryos, whereas, no transgenic plantlets were obtained from fragmented immature embryos. Based on the PCR analysis, the transformation efficiency of T0 plants for the two genotypes varied from 0.66% (â€˜Rajaeâ€™ from the longitudinally halved-immature embryo cultured with no acetosyringone) to 0.33% (â€˜Achtarâ€™ genotype from intact-immature cultured with 200 Î¼M of acetosyringone).

Authors: Cioloca Mihaela , Tican Andreea , BÄƒrÄƒscu Nina , Popa Monica
Published: May 2023

The potato varieties studied in this paper were created at the National Institute of Research and Development for Potato and Sugar Beet BraÅŸov. They have a high biological production capacity and are attractive and very appreciated by farmers, potato producers, consumers and processors, but manifest recalcitrance to the in vitro culture techniques. Thus we tried to find an optimal culture medium variant for these varieties, in order to obtain healty potato seed material in a short time. The study compared the effects of five different culture media using MS medium containing various concentrations of gibberelic acid (GA3) in combination with Î±-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in micropropagation of two recalcitrant potato varieties, Marvis and Brasovia. The longest shoots, maximum number of nodes and leaves, the longest roots and the best rooting efficiency were recorded on MS medium containing 2 mgL-1 GA3 and 1 mgL-1 NAA, for both varieties. The use of a larger quantity of GA3 negatively influenced the potato shoots and roots growth. The culture media using MS medium containing 4 mgL-1 GA3 and 1 mgL-1 NAA had an inhibitory effect on all the studied plantlet characteristics. The results showed that a certain combination of growth regulators (NAA and GA3) improved the micropropagation capacity of the two recalcitrant potato cultivars studied and resulted in the maximum improvement in the parameters.
