Social Interaction Onboard among Selected Filipino Seafarers and its Effect on their Well-being
Authors: Balido, Jr. Rodrigo ,   Asian Institute of Maritime Studies
Published: July 2024

Social interaction onboard is a vital aspect of seafarer’s maritime life, shaping their daily experiences and well-being while navigating the open seas. It also fosters a sense of community and belonging for seafarers, counteracting the isolation inherent to long deployments at sea. Employing descriptive-correlation design, this study aims to determine the effect of social interaction on the well-being of Filipino seafarers. A researcher-made instrument was used to gather data from seventy-five (N=75) randomly selected respondents within Metro Manila. Findings revealed that the Filipino seafarers’ physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being is in good stand, while they also value their work regardless of the nature and challenges in their job. Furthermore, social interaction is only significantly related to the Filipino seafarers’ physical well-being. Though positive and moderate, this relationship implies that the higher the level of social interaction, the better the overall physical well-being. Thus, the physical well-being of Filipino seafarers varies depending on how they socially engage. If the seafarer is socially active towards their crewmates, then it will have a better effect on their physical wellbeing. With the above outcomes, it is recommended that seafarers should engage and give importance to social events onboard in order to improve their wellness and positively affect their mental state.
THE ARCHITECTURE OF KNOWLEDGE: ON THE PROBLEM OF EPISTEMIC REGRESS AND DESCARTES' VIEWS ON FOUNDATIONALISM
Authors: Dilmaçünal Asım
Published: July 2024

Beliefs are often accepted on the basis of certain reasons. For a belief to attain the status of knowledge, it must be justified by these reasons. This entails inquiring into the reasons behind the reasons. Under such circumstances, facing the risk of infinite regress is inevitable. What form should the causal structure take to attribute the status of knowledge to beliefs be? Is it possible that the regress of reasons ends at a certain point when it comes to the justification of a belief? The foundationalist perspective asserts that the regress can be stopped. Foundationalism asserts that there are basic beliefs that hold a privileged status. Basic beliefs provide a solution to the problem of infinite regress.
In this study, the problem of epistemic regress will be examined. In addition, the main propositions of the foundationalism will be analysed and Descartes’ central role in the attempt to solve this problem will be revealed.

Authors: Sondari Nunung , Amalia Lia , Ulfah Indriana , Perdi Ramadan Harry
Published: July 2024

Sweet corn production in Indonesia has increased from 2015 by 19.83 million tons and increased to 23.16 million tons in 2016 (Ministry of Agriculture, 2020). Sweet corn production in Indonesia is low, with an average yield of around 8.31 t ha-1 (Garate, 2017). NPK fertilizer is one of the technologies in the agricultural business that facilitates farmers in applying plant nutrition because NPK fertilizer contains more than one type of nutrient. (Trichoderma sp is a microorganism or biological agent that can improve soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties. Trichoderma fungi make the soil structure loose, making it easier for roots to absorb nutrients, especially phosphate (P), and increase microbial activity. Trichoderma sp is a decomposer (decomposing species) and plant stimulator. The research method used is Randomized Group Design (RAK). The first factor is the application of NPK Phnska Plus fertilizer, and the second factor is the dose of Trichoderma sp. and the quadratic regression analysis test. There is an interaction effect between the dose of NPK fertilizer and the dose of Trichoderma on all parameters observed. NPK fertilizer dose of 6 grams/plant (P2) and Trichoderma dose of 20 grams/plant produced significant weight compared to other treatments. 45% of the variance of the treatment variable of NPK fertilizer dose and Trichoderma dose has not been able to explain the independent variable.
Concept of Thinking about Strategies to Increase Chicken Production
Authors: Yuliyananda Devi , Arisandi Bayu
Published: July 2024

Efforts to increase the production of free-range chickens can be carried out through several strategies, including Early Separation of Chicks and Mothers, separation of chicks from their mothers from an early age to reduce the period when chickens stop laying eggs because they take care of their offspring for approximately 105 days. Early separation can extend the egg-laying period to more than 15 days. Use of Intensive Maintenance Patterns: Replace extensive maintenance patterns with more efficient intensive patterns. The intensive pattern involves the use of closed cages and more controlled feeding, which can improve the quality and quantity of nutrients in the feed as well as the number of chickens raised, the crossing of Kampung Roosters with Laying Breed Females, The crossing between Kampung Roosters and laying breed females can increase the production of kampung chickens.  Estimating the physical appearance of a chicken's body, such as feather color, shank length, chest width, body length, and beard shape, can be used to estimate the production of free-range chickens. Genetic Selection is conducting genetic selection to select livestock that have superior genetic quality. This is done by selecting broodstock based on egg production, number, and weight. This selection process requires individual production records and daily mixing of mothers and males to improve egg fertility and hatchability. Use of Modern Technology, using technologies such as brooding (giving a warming lamp) to create conditions similar to those produced by hens. This helps to nurture the chicks when they are newly hatched. By implementing this strategy, the production of free-range chickens can be increased to meet high market demand.

Published: July 2024

A systematic Literature Review is important for making decisions on social science. An analysis of 20 articles published between 2010 and 2023 shows an increase in publications on the Family Hope Program, with the number of articles published peaking in 20 at five articles. This increase indicates a growth in research interest in the topic. In the search for research methods used in 20 articles related to the Family Hope Program, most research adopts a quantitative approach, while the qualitative approach tends to be rarely applied.
Of the 20 articles analyzed, 9 obtained a significant number of citations compared to others, indicating that the topic of the Family Hope Program is still not widely used as a reference by other researchers. The analysis also reveals that universities publish the majority of the articles related to this topic. However, this also presents an opportunity for other institutions, such as innovation agencies and research agencies, to contribute more to the research and discussion on the Family Hope Program. This underscores the potential for broader involvement in future research and discussion on the Family Hope Program.

Erectile dysfunction is a condition in which there is a persistent inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection during sexual intercourse. Post-radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence has numerous repercussions for men, including emotional aspects. Thus, the following research problem was established: assistance to people in this life condition – developing post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence – cannot be singular and limited to physical aspects. Objective: to understand the meanings of urinary incontinence for people undergoing prostatectomy. Method: this study is a meta-synthesis about men’s perceptions about post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. Meta-synthesis is an emerging area in the health sciences that consists of synthesizing the findings from qualitative studies in order to create new interpretations. Results: four qualitative articles composed this meta-synthesis. The four selected articles address urinary incontinence not as the main topic of the four studies, but appear in nuances in all of them, reiterating the importance of the theme. All the articles addressed urinary incontinence as a serious problem that interferes with the quality of life and self-esteem of men who experience it. Conclusions: Urinary incontinence can generate negative feelings, ranging from anxiety and depression to feelings of shame, which prevent men from living their lives fully.

Published: July 2024

Esta pesquisa analisa os determinantes da prosperidade nos países da América do Sul utilizando técnicas de Machine Learning e Inteligência Artificial. A pesquisa busca identificar os fatores críticos que influenciam o índice de desenvolvimento e prosperidade, com o objetivo de fornecer insights para a formulação de políticas públicas eficazes e promover o desenvolvimento sustentável na região. O estudo destaca a importância de entender os determinantes da prosperidade para orientar políticas públicas na América do Sul. A pesquisa pergunta: quais são os principais fatores que influenciam o índice de desenvolvimento e prosperidade dos países sul-americanos? Dados do “Índice Global de Desenvolvimento do País e Prosperidade 2023” foram analisados. A análise descritiva inicial foi seguida pela aplicação do teste de Kruskal-Wallis para avaliar diferenças significativas entre os países. A multicolinearidade foi investigada utilizando o Fator de Inflação da Variância (VIF) e a Análise de Componentes Principais (PCA) foi utilizada para reduzir a dimensionalidade dos dados. As componentes principais foram então utilizadas em um modelo de regressão linear múltipla. O teste de Kruskal-Wallis não indicou diferenças significativas entre as pontuações médias dos países. A PCA identificou duas componentes principais que explicam a maior parte da variabilidade dos dados. A análise de regressão linear revelou que a Componente Principal 1 tem um impacto negativo significativo, enquanto a Componente Principal 2 tem um impacto positivo significativo na pontuação média dos países.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) results from the narrowing of coronary arteries that leads to inadequate blood supply to the heart muscles, resulting in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The coronary collaterals which develop will be an alternative source of blood flow in CAD. Myocardial ischemia stimulates the development of coronary collaterals by releasing various angiogenic growth factors, like the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Serum VEGF will serve as an important biomarker in CAD; thus, it can predict coronary collateral development. Aim: To study the factors affecting the development of coronary collaterals in hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients with CAD. Methods: The study includes 100 patients who have done coronary angiography, with an average age of 60±15. Consent was obtained from all patients, and 2 ml of blood was collected. The serum VEGF concentration and cystatin-C were quantified. Coronary Angiograms, along with other reports, were collected and analyzed. CAD was diagnosed for those with ≥ 70% stenosis inany one of the major coronary artery. Coronary collateral gradings was performed as per Rentrop Scoring system. The serum VEGF and cystatin-C levels were correlated with the collateral scores and other cardiovascular risk factors. Results: A significant correlation was found between the collateral scores and serum VEGF level in hypertensive patients only. No significant correlation was found between VEGF level, collateral scores and cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusions: Cardiovascular risk factors in turn increase the serum VEGF level, which results in collateral development. Age and sex did not show show any significant association especially old age and females, with serum VEGF levels.

Background: Posaconazole, currently available as a solid oral dosage form, possesses erratic pharmacokinetics that complicate dosing regimens and increase the risk of adverse effects and drug interactions. Hence, innovative strategies, especially topical ones, are necessary to enhance the therapeutic profile and improve patient outcomes. Methodology: The regular 23 factorial design and the concentrations of Oleic acid: Span 80 (2:1) ratio, Cholesterol, and Tween 80 as independent variables were used for the formulation development. The preliminary effect was determined by dependent variables like vesicle size and entrapment efficiency; then the final optimized batch was loaded in 3 % w/w Carbopol gel. Result and Discussion: The optimized batch's vesicle size and entrapment efficiency were 193.34+14.84 nm and 90.03+0.11 %, respectively. These results were found statistically significant (ANOVA) in the trial version of Stat-Ease 360®. Other evaluation parameters like zeta potential and pH of all the formulations were also significant (p<0.005). Conclusion: The optimized batch (NF7), when loaded with gel (NF7G-3), showed sustained release of Posaconazole up to 7 h in an In vitro diffusion study facilitated 87.14±0.11 % release confirming non-Fickian or Anomalous diffusion, interpreted from Korsmeyer Peppas (KKP) model. With the results from In vitro and Ex vivo pharmacokinetic release, the Posaconazole-loaded NF7G-3 Novasomal gel can exhibit potential formulation for the topical treatment of fungal infections. It will help significantly mitigate the negative effects of Posaconazole.
Optimizing irbesartan spherical agglomerates through principal component analysis and experimental design

Published: July 2024

Background: This study explores the amalgamation of crystallization and agglomeration through spherical crystallization, aiming to develop the spherical crystals of Irbesartan with improved micromeritic properties. The main objective is to use spherical crystallization techniques to improve the micromeritic characteristics of Irbesartan, which has poor flow and compressibility because of its crystal habit. Methodology: A solvent change approach was utilized to synthesize spherical agglomerates of Irbesartan. Several system parameters, including the amount of bridging liquid, the rate of stirring, and the concentration of the polymer, were tuned to enhance the particle size distribution and mechanical qualities. SEM, GC, PXRD, DSC, and FTIR analyses characterised the spherical crystals. Result and Discussion: The study demonstrated that spherical crystallization significantly enhanced Irbesartan's micromeritic properties. The angle of repose of optimized agglomerates was reduced by around 52%, indicating improved considerably flowability of irbesartan. The sphericity of the crystals was validated by SEM examination (shape factor: 0.996), and the solvent levels were found to be within allowable bounds by GC analysis. PXRD data showed no polymorphism alterations, and DSC/FTIR analyses confirmed that the excipients and drug were compatible. Conclusion: This process provides a feasible alternative to classic granulation and agglomeration procedures, resulting in better flow, compressibility, and spherical crystals. It streamlines the Irbesartan formulation, improving efficiency and uniformity, reducing manufacturing costs, higher tablet consistency, and enhancing patient compliance.

The purpose of this book was to guide the budding/fellow orthopaedic surgeons to deal with compound fractures. This book explains the outcome of monorail fixator (Limb Reconstruction System) as primary and definitive mode of fixation of compound fractures of tibia, which have high rates of infection and non-union resulting in poor functional outcome. This provides treatment guidelines for prevention of infection, soft tissue coverage and fracture stabilization with simultaneous mobilization of nearby joints; thereby enabling early return to function. We have conducted a study on patients having compound tibial fractures as classified by GUSTTILO-ANDERSON in type 2 and 3A, 3B, cases. During follow up, patients were assessed for various complications and statistical analysis was performed using software SPSS 25.0. Benefits of monorail fixator (LRS) has been mentioned in this book as excellent to good results in 90 percent of cases with minimum surgery time of 52.17 minutes. Full weight bearing (with fixator) was seen in 5.37 days. Fracture union occurred at 31.8 weeks with minimum complications
