Community Legal Protection and the Legal Position of Electronic Land Certificate in Land Registration Based on Notarial Assets
Authors: Widyastuti Ratih
Published: May 2021

The electronic land certificate (e-certificate) policy is supported by the presence of the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Land/Head of the National Land Agency Number 1 of 2021 concerning Electronic Certificates (Permen ATR / BPN 1-2021). In the future, everyone who makes a property transaction for the first time will no longer hold a physical certificate. Everything is digital for those who have paper certificates, the government is obliged to immediately switch to electronic. Including when the process of buying and selling property assets occurs. There are indeed concerns about the birth of this new policy. The public does not fully believe in the security of the digital world. Especially for land certificates. Many parents are still conventional, lagging behind technological developments. They still believe in maintaining physical land certificates. Efficient land registration, legal certainty and legal protection, reduce the number of disputes, conflicts and court cases regarding land and increase the value of registering property in order to improve the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) ranking. The implementation of electronic land certificates will also be gradual considering the large number of land parcels in Indonesia. Then in accordance with the very diverse geographical conditions and the socio-economic conditions of a pluralistic society. Security can also be guaranteed because the entire information security process uses encryption technology such as cryptography by the National Cyber and Crypto Agency.

Methodology: The data was analyzed using SPSS statistical tools. A descriptive-analytical approach; a simple random sampling of 260 employees was used for analysis. Employed quantitative analysis, data collected through a close and open-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The respondents represented came from the three branches of the RMN consisting of Seaman, Technical, and Supply branch.

Main Findings: The findings were found that courage has a significant influence on the employees’ job performance. The findings also revealed that honour has positively influenced employees’ JP in the RMN

Applications of this study: The implications of this study found that the Honour value is the main factor amongst the other variables.  It is the most important component in manipulating the Job Performance of the RMN personnel followed by the Courage value.  The other two core values, Pride and Loyalty values did not influence Job Performance as expected.  At the beginning of the study, it was expected that the Core Values of the RMN would be the elements that would influence the job performance in the RMN organization since it was launched on 16 August 2011.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Models and theoretical application that can be used for future research could also offer a different perspective of understanding and comprehension as opposed to previous study and research, thus this is one of the Novelties in this study.
ROLE OF TEACHING STYLES ON SELF- REGULATION AMONG THE ADOLESCENTS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
Authors: Khalid Touseef , Rohail Iffat , Akhtar Andleeb
Published: May 2021

Purpose of the study: This study examined the role of teaching styles on self-regulation among adolescents with physical disabilities and moderating effects of age on the relationship between teaching styles and self-regulation.

Methodology: 150 students from Islamabad and Rawalpindi divisions were included in this study. Adolescent Self-Regulatory Inventory (Moilanen,2007) and Junior High School Teaching Styles Questionnaire (Chen,2008) was used to assess teaching styles and self-regulation. A purposive-convenient sampling technique was used, and SPSS 22 was used for data analysis.

Main Findings: The results demonstrated that the democratic teaching style was the most perceived teaching style among adolescents with a physical disability. It was found that teaching styles predicts self-regulation significantly with (β = .24, R2 = .05) and p < .001. Democratic teaching style had a significant relationship with long-term self-regulation. Age played a moderator role between teaching style and self-regulation with (β= -.16, R2=.09) and p < .01 among adolescents with a physical disability.

Applications of this study: Results of the study will be helpful in the rehabilitation of this marginalized part of society and helps teachers to understand that how their style could affect the personality development of special students.

Novelty/Originality of this study: There is a need to study the handicapped population, their problems, and opportunities for their rehabilitation, especially in Pakistan. As the needs of students with disabilities are entirely different from regular students, society and teachers need a constructive mindset to solve and eliminate the challenges faced by them.
The Divorce and It’s Psycho-Social Impact on the Couple
Authors:   PhD, Scientific Researcher, Institute of Sociology, Romanian Academy, Apostu Iulian
Published: May 2021

The image of divorce in Romania is very much dependent on stereotypes that consistently distort the real situation of Romanian families. Thus, the most common stereotype, unfortunately, in some scientific publications, is that of marital disaster generated by the high divorce rate and the accelerated growth rate. A second problem is the acceptance of the condition of being divorced, because within social mentality divorce is still seen as a negative statute, through which an individual is appreciated. Beyond the objective reality of divorce indicators in Romania, that show stability and low values ​​of divorce in the last 3 decades, the issue of mentalities regarding divorce and the image of divorcees still needs updating. For Romania, the difficulty of deciding to get a divorce also depends on the social context, on the legitimacy of the action at the level of the extended family group and, at the same time, on the assumption of a certain social image of the divorced individual. The study aims to analyze the functional changes of individuals separated by divorce and to highlight the new challenges of functional reorganization. The paper is based on the functionalist theory (Talcott Parsons and Robert K. Merton) and proposes a type of qualitative research with the help of a semi-structured interview.

Being a psychologist by profession, passionate about the field of law in general, and in particular about the criminal phenomenon, whether it involves deprivation of liberty or not, I found this book a source of knowledge, of broadening perspectives. Although law can be considered an arid field, sometimes difficult to assimilate, especially by those who haven't gor specialized training in the field, the book “Mediation and probation. Restorative social practices ”, authored by Antonio Sandu and Elena Unguru, published by Lumen Publishing House from Iași in 2016, brings along a historical, philosophical, psychological and sociological approach, offering the chance for a novice to enter an “alternative story ”of issues pertaining to justice.

Food consumption and lifestyle habits can have a positive or negative direct impact on an individual’s health. University students tend to have poor eating habits that are influenced mainly by sensory perceptions. This survey was done to evaluate the status of food consumption and lifestyle habits among Taif university students (males and females). A total of 600 students aged from 18 to 24 years participated in the survey and responded to questions on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, eating habits, food consumption frequency, attitude, health and food awareness knowledge. The randomly selected students were from various levels in university representing wide categories and living conditions in Taif Region, Saudi Arabia. The examined students efficiently completed the survey with the help of the university staff. Weight and height were evaluated by a portable standing electronic scale and a portable stadiometer (Seca 879, Germany) to calculate the Body mass index (BMI) classes. Female students recorded 28% of underweight cases, which was higher than the male students (11%) with none significant at p>0.05. The rate of overweight in male students was 30% compared with the female students’ 26%. The study reported 49% and 64% for normal waist circumference for male and female students, respectively. A higher frequency of moderate physical exercise was reported among male students at 60% compared to that among female students (57%). The number of students who did physical exercise regularly was reported to be higher in females (15%) than males (8%). A percentage of 15% and 7% of the male and female students, respectively were smokers. Male students recorded higher sleeping hours than females. Male students reported high media consumptionfrequency of more than 3 hours a day 67%, followed by 21% between 3-6 hoursa day for female students. About 46% and 55% of male and female students,respectively, reported fast-food consumption at least once a week and about 30% of males and 24% females took only 1 to 2 fast food meals in a month.The major meals skipped were breakfast, followed by lunch and dinner;however, this was not significant p>0.05. Meal skipping was high among female students (72%). It was noted that high percentage of male students (72%) reported low consumption levels of vegetables and fruits. The main reason for fast-food consumption was convenience (31%) for males, while females recorded 32% for choices. Female students had a higher score than males in nutrition knowledge. There is a need forawareness creation concerning better food choices, lifestyle habits and weight management that might create a helpful impact on the university student health.

Teksty farmaceutyczne i dyskurs farmaceutyczny: definicje, specyfika i krótki przegląd pola badawczego
Authors: Grabowski Łukasz
Published: May 2021

This chapter aims to familiarize readers with the specificity of pharmaceutical discourse, including its spoken and written text varieties. I paid particular attention to two issues. Firstly, pharmaceutical discourse and pharmaceutical texts are often classified by researchers into broader category of medical or biomedical discourse. Second, pharmaceutical discourse is not autonomous as it is also permeated with medical, legal, academic and other discourses. Next, pharmaceutical discourse was described in greater detail using descriptive models proposed by Bhatia (2004) and Gunnarson (2009). Finally, a selection of research studies, including linguistic and interdisciplinary ones, conducted on certain pharmaceutical text types and genres, both spoken and written, were presented to provide a more comprehensive overview of the research field.
Quality Improvement: origins, purpose and the future for veterinary practice
Authors: Rooke Freya , Burford John , Freeman Sarah , Mair Tim , Suthers Jo , Brennan Marnie
Published: May 2021

Introduction

Providing the highest quality veterinary care can often be a delicate balancing act: the client/owner’s wishes, financial parameters and emotional needs have to be considered, whilst also meeting the animal’s clinical needs. But what actually defines quality care? It is a term frequently used in both the human and veterinary healthcare literature, but often has little explanation or definition attached to it. ‘Quality’ in relation to care delivered is not a static concept and will hold different meanings to different individuals within a healthcare service. John Ruskin, a Victorian writer and critic of art and society observed: ‘Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skilful execution’.

Authors: Landon Trenton J. , Nay Andrew , Connor Annemarie , Phillips Brian N. , Reyes Antonio R. , Leavitt Jeremy
Published: May 2021

Purpose

The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) provides a framework for understanding and accommodating disability. This study examined predictors and outcomes of ICF familiarity among rehabilitation counselors.

Method

Analysis of variance and hierarchical regression analysis were used to examine research questions related to ICF familiarity.

Results

Rehabilitation counselors with five or fewer years of experience were more familiar with the ICF. Analysis showed familiarity with the ICF positively correlated with greater confidence in recommending work accommodations.

Conclusions

Data supports use of the ICF in rehabilitation counseling. Emphasizing the ICF in specific courses (e.g., medical aspects of disability, career and vocational development) may support improved practice.

Authors: Bonfoh Bassirou , Zinsstag Jakob , Ankers Philippe , Pangui L.J. , Pfister Kurt
Published: May 2021

Des autopsies helminthologiques ont été effectuées au Togo sur des petits ruminants (59 ovins, 60 caprins), de race Djallonké, révélant la présence de huit espèces de nématodes gastro-intestinaux qui sont par ordre de prévalence Trichostrongylus sp. (T. axei et T. colubriformis) (99 %), Haemonchus contortus (82 %), Strongyloides papillosus (67 %), Cooperia curticei (43 %), Oesophagostomum columbianum (40 %), Gaigeria pachyscelis (36 %) et Trichuris ovis (4 %). L'intensité de la communauté parasitaire est de 1 367 + 146 chez les ovins et de 1 133 + 102 chez les caprins avec une communauté adulte qui culmine en ao·t-septembre (moutons : 2 135 + 494, chèvres : 2 066 + 270). En saison sèche, H. contortus et O. columbianum entrent en hypobiose larvaire (L4). Le nombre d'oeufs par gramme de matière fécale est en général élevé (> 3 000) et ni l'espèce ni l'âge de l'hôte (6 mois à 3 ans) n'a d'effet significatif sur la charge parasitaire.

Troubles de la reproduction dans un élevage en laboratoire de Glossana palpalis palpalis Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera : Glossinidae)
Authors: Ahmed A.B. , Onyiah J.A. , Suleiman S.N.
Published: May 2021

Les troubles de la reproduction ont été utilisés comme paramètre pour l'évaluation de la baisse de fécondité d'une colonie de G. p. palpalis. Les résultats ont montré que l'avortement représentait la forme la plus courante des troubles de la fonction de reproduction et la cause principale de la baisse de la fécondité, suivi immédiatement par la pupaison in utero des larves parvenues au troisième stade larvaire. L'incidence du blocage ovulaire, de l'échec de l'insémination et de la dégénérescence des follicules de l'embryon ou de l'oeuf était faible. On n'a observé aucun cas d'atrophie de l'ovaire. Les avortements d'oeufs et de larves ont été enregistrés dans toutes les classes d'âge étudiées, ce qui indique que l'avortement survient à n'importe quel stade du cycle de gestation des femelles. Les troubles de la reproduction ne dépassant pas 3 % au total, la baisse de la fécondité due à des anomalies de la reproduction dans la colonie de tsé-tsé étudiée est minime.

Enquête sur la dermatophilose des bovins laitiers en Israël
Authors: Yeruham I. , Elad D. , Nyska A.
Published: May 2021

En Israël la dermatophilose cause de sévères lésions, en particulier chez les vaches laitières durant les premières semaines qui suivent leur primo-parturition. Une baisse moyenne de 40 % de la production du lait a été constatée. Chez ces animaux, on observe une dermatite exsudative aiguë avec une réaction sévère. Tous les sujets étaient également atteints d'endométrite, de métrite ou de mammite. La forme tumorale de la dermatophilose a été observée chez les veaux jusqu'à l'âge de 3 semaines. La dermatophilose était particulièrement visible (89,4 %) chez les troupeaux dans lesquels on pratiquait des douches intensives des vaches laitières durant le printemps et l'été, comparativement aux petits troupeaux où la morbidité est plus basse (6,6 %). La morbidité était plus élevée dans la plaine côtière méditerranéenne (66,3 %) que dans les régions arides ou semi-arides (Negev et vallée de l'Arava) dans le sud d'Israël (3,7 %).
Une enquête sur la race bovine Somba au Bénin
Authors: Hall Stephen J.G. , Gnaho L.K. , Meghen C.
Published: May 2021

La race bovine Somba du Bénin et du Togo compte environ 25000 têtes et cet effectif est en diminution. Le système traditionnel d'élevage, basé sur les petits troupeaux familiaux, est en train d'être remplacé par les grands troupeaux collectifs sous gardiennage professionnel. La productivité globale de ce cheptel a été recherchée au moyen d'une enquête rapide dans des villages. Elle est comparable à celle des autres races de taurins à courtes cornes de l'Afrique occidentale. Le taux d'exploitation est de 8,12 veaux/100 vaches/an. Le taux de survie des jeunes semble meilleur chez les troupeaux collectifs ; les veaux en surnombre sont conservés pour accroître la taille des troupeaux, plutôt que commercialisés. Les études génétiques indiquent que la race Somba n'est guère affectée par le métissage. La conservation de cette race est recommandée et le développement du système traditionnel d'élevage est à encourager.

Standpunktfähigkeit und Perspektivenwechsel als Anforderung an die Lehrperson im konfessionell-kooperativen Lernsetting aus der Sicht von betroffenen Religionslehrkräften
Authors: Zimmermann Mirjam , Riegel Ulrich , Totsche Benedict , Fabricius Steffi
Published: May 2021

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht, wie Religionslehrpersonen aus NRW, die mit dem kon­fessionell-kooperativen Religionsunterricht vertraut sind, die Anforderung an sich selbst wahrnehmen, stand­punktfähig zu sein und die Perspektive des Gegenübers einspielen zu können. Dazu wurden sieben Gruppeninter­views, 16 Briefe und 45 Fragebögen qualitativ-inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet. Als Ergebnis wird festgehalten, dass die befragten Lehrkräfte Standpunktfähigkeit und Perspektivenwechsel eng aufeinander beziehen, wobei der Standpunktfähigkeit von den Befragten eine weit größere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird. Standpunktfähigkeit wird entlang dreier Ebenen thematisiert, nämlich a) als religiöse Einstellung, b) als Wissen über die beiden Konfes­sionen und c) als Verhalten im Religionsunterricht. Für die Befragten gibt es nur auf der Wissens-Ebene die Mög­lichkeit, auch den Standpunkt der jeweils anderen Konfession einzunehmen. Darüber hinaus sehen sie im individu­ellen Glauben und in der kollektiven Perspektive der eigenen Kirche zwei mögliche Bezugspunkte für den eigenen Standpunkt. Allerdings wird auch gefragt, ob die Perspektive der Kirche nicht an sich vielgestaltig sein könne und inwiefern die Betonung eines Standpunkts zur „Re-Ideologisierung“ konfessionell-kooperativen Lernens führe.

Authors: Rijaluddin Muhammad Khalid , Utami Wahyu , Othman Zulhabri , Yusuf Eddy , Puspitasari Hanni Prihhastuti , Hermansyah Andi
Published: May 2021

Pendahuluan: Apoteker di komunitas merupakan elemen penting dalam kesehatan masyarakat. Semakin meningkatnya jumlah apotek ditambah dengan tingginya permintaan masyarakat terhadap layanan kefarmasian yang berkualitas menyebabkan tekanan yang besar kepada praktek apoteker. Alhasil, kepuasan apoteker menjadi titik kritis untuk mengevaluasi kualitas pelayanan farmasi dan imbasnya terhadap keinginan untuk keluar atau bertahan dari pekerjaan saat ini. Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kepuasan kerja dan karir apoteker serta niat mereka untuk meninggalkan pekerjaan saat ini. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lintang potong dengan menggunakan kuesioner online dan melibatkan apoteker di komunitas sebagai responden. Data kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) Hasil: Terdapat 292 apoteker berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Sebagian besar adalah perempuan (77,39%) dengan pengalaman kerja kurang dari 5 tahun (51,03%). Hasil dari analisis data menunjukkan bahwa faktor ekstrinsik dan instrinsik mempengaruhi kepuasan kerja apoteker (3,120 dan 4,981), sedangkan pada aspek niat meninggalkan pekerjaan (intention to leave) hanya dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh faktor ekstrinsik (1,974). Karakteristik responden hanya berpengaruh signifikan terhadap niat untuk meninggalkan pekerjaan (3,929). Sementara itu, kepuasan kerja berpengaruh pada niat meninggalkan pekerjaan (4,083). Kesimpulan: Faktor ekstrinsik dan intrinsik mempengaruhi kepuasan apoteker, tetapi hanya faktor ekstrinsik yang mempengaruhi niat untuk pergi.

Published: May 2021

Pendahuluan: Hipertensi adalah suatu penyakit silent killer yang jika tidak terkontrol dapat menyebabkan penyakit jantung, gagal ginjal, stroke, bahkan kematian dini. Namun, penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 32,3% pasien hipertensi tidak rutin minum obat dan 13,3% tidak minum obat. Ketidakpatuhan ini terjadi karena kurangnya pengetahuan pasien. Saat ini, penggunaan ponsel semakin meningkat. Banyak aplikasi kesehatan tersedia, namun tidak memberikan informasi dan edukasi kepada pasien, termasuk edukasi tentang obat. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan aplikasi digital yang melibatkan apoteker. Aplikasi ini memberikan informasi tentang hipertensi dan penggunaan obatnya serta membantu pasien memanajemen hipertensinya. Metode: Pengembangan aplikasi digital dilakukan melalui 4 tahap yaitu analisis kebutuhan pasien hipertensi yang melibatkan apoteker, desain aplikasi, pengembangan aplikasi dan evaluasi aplikasi. Hasil: Evaluasi aplikasi terdiri dari Alpha test dan Beta test.  Alpha test yang dilakukan oleh 2 software developer dan 4 orang apoteker menunjukan bahwa aplikasi digital yang dikembangkan sudah menarik, mudah digunakan dan dapat berfungsi dengan baik. Selanjutnya Beta test yang dilakukan oleh 10 pasien hipertensi menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi digital hipertensi yang dikembangkan sudah memiliki konten yang sesuai dan nyaman digunakan.  Kesimpulan: aplikasi digital yang melibatkan apoteker ini sudah siap untuk digunakan dan pasien hipertensi memiliki kesempatan untuk mendapatkan edukasi obat dan hipertensi dari apoteker melalui ponselnya.

Published: May 2021

Pendahuluan: Di era Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, masalah pengelolaan obat di puskesmas masih sering terjadi sehingga perlu dilakukan evaluasi yang berkelanjutan untuk menjamin ketersediaan dan pelayanan obat yang optimal. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui  gambaran dan menganalisis terjadinya obat kadaluwarsa, obat rusak dan stok mati, sehingga dapat memberikan rekomendasi kebijakan untuk perbaikan pengelolaan obat. Metode: Penelitian non eksperimental dengan rancangan deskriptif analisis, yang dianalisis secara deskriptif dan kualitatif. Sampel yang digunakan untuk mengevaluasi obat kadaluwarsa dan obat rusak adalah seluruh obat tahun 2019, sedangkan sampel untuk evaluasi stok mati menggunakan kombinasi obat indikator dan obat e-katalog yang paling banyak dikonsumsi pada tahun 2019. Faktor yang mempengaruhi hambatan pengelolaan obat dilakukan observasi dengan wawancara. Hasil: Obat kadaluwarsa di Puskesmas X dan Y sebesar 24% dan 18%, stok mati sebesar 40% dan 20%, tidak ditemukan obat rusak di kedua puskemas. Masalah pengelolaan obat yang dominan terjadi di puskesmas, disebabkan adanya faktor perubahan pola peresepan, tanggal kadaluwarsa yang terlalu pendek dan tidak sesuainya permintaan dengan penerimaan obat dari UPT Instalasi Farmasi. Kesimpulan: Persentase obat kadaluwarsa dan obat stok mati belum sesuai dengan indikator penelitian (0%), sehingga dengan temuan ini perlu dilakukan validasi perencanaan obat yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan obat serta peningkatan manajemen pengelolaan obat kadaluwarsa dan penguatan sistem penerimaan obat di puskesmas.

Authors: Cahaya Tarsisty Regina Caeli , Farady Marta Rustono , Fernando Joshua
Published: May 2021

Gender discrimination in Indonesia has existed since ancient times. As a Javanese woman, Kartini became a figure who experienced the past and even by her family. Due to her limitations, Kartini wrote about her restlessness and thoughts in the form of letters sent to her Dutch friends. The letters were then collected and put together into a book entitled Door Duisternis tot Licht. Pramoedya took some fragments of Kartini's letter, and tried to see Kartini in her literary glasses in the biographical novel Call Me Kartini Saja. Relying on qualitative methods and constructivist paradigms and using Vladimir Propp's narrative analysis, the purpose of this research is to reveal the description of the character's function in the narrative in the novel. The role analysis is only in narratives that contain elements of feminism. This research found that the novel P Call Me Kartini Saja contains seven of the 31 narrative functions and seven characters which are grouped into four character functions. Through the narrative function and character function that have been analyzed in this novel, this suggestion suggests that Kartini's spirit in fighting for emancipation through her writing and thoughts should always be lived out in her daily activities because her struggle allowed Indonesian women to indulge their rights.
Potential Climate Change Risks to Meeting Zimbabwe’s NDC Goals — And how to Become Resilient
Authors: Howells Mark , Boehlert Brent , Benitez Pablo César
Published: May 2021

Zimbabwe has ambitious and laudable GHG mitigation targets. Compared to a coal based future emissions reductions by 33% per capita by 2030 are targeted, by implementing a set of identified nationally determined contributions (NDCs). If historical climate conditions continue, it can do this at low or negative cost. However, anticipated conditions may not continue, and of the planned emissions reductions in the NDCs, 88% would come from the expansion of hydropower, which is driven by rainfall. If climate change causes the extreme droughts witnessed in recent years to become more frequent, embarking on Zimbabwe’s NDC future (underpinned by its official system development plan) may be expensive and further cripple the economy. Note that the economy is already being strangled by constrained power supplies due to unusually dry conditions in the Zambezi river basin. If the NDC Future is pursued, but the climate becomes drier, proactive efforts might be made to overcome the power shortages. However, this may result in a rapid ramp up of greenhouse gas emissions if the country turns to coal to reinforce its system and increase its resilience against hydropower vulnerability and the costs that would otherwise ensue. If the country were to keep its NDC investments and supplement them with more aggressive deployment of clean adaptation options, strongly positive outcomes appear possible. Specifically, this would require increased deployment of renewable energy technologies, a restructured power market, and deep increases in energy efficiency investments. In so doing, the country would not only exceed its NDC targets, but also reduce costs in a manner that is climate resilient. This would not remove the country's need for hydropower and some level of coal reliance. However, it will introduce requirements to ensure flexibility in both hydropower and coal power production. For hydropower, power stations will need to provide and be recompensed for providing ‘balancing services’, that is, storing water and producing electricity when the wind is not blowing, nor sun shining. In order to ensure continuous output from mines, it may require intelligent stockpiling combined with dynamic forecasting. This would apply not only to production in Zimbabwe, but potentially for neighboring countries. Doing so would allow predictable mining activities, but allow electricity systems to absorb low cost, low carbon hydropower at high rainfall periods. To make the NDCs resilient via clean adaptation, strong institutional restructuring is required. However, internalizing those costs and moving to advanced market structures and business cases may strain the capacity of current institutions.

Abstract
Traditional plants are known to contain a wide array of secondary metabolites with important biological activity, including anticancer activity. One of such metabolites is saponin; a steroidal or triterpenoid glycoside that is distinguished by its soap forming nature. Different saponins have been characterized and purified so far, and are gaining attention in cancer chemotherapy. Saponins possess incredible structural diversity which has been linked to their activity. They have been implicated in cancer chemoprevention and chemotherapy. Several studies have reported the role of saponins in cancer and their mechanism of actions including cell cycle arrest, antioxidant, cellular invasion inhibition, induction of apoptosis and autophagy. Despite the extensive research and significant anticancer effect of saponins there are no known FDA approved saponin based anticancer drugs due to a number of limitations including toxicities and drug likeness properties. Recent studies have explored options such as structural optimization, combination therapy and drug delivery systems to design saponins with increased efficacy and decreased toxicities. This review discussed the current knowledge on different saponins, their anticancer activity, mechanism of action as well as the current promising research on saponins within the last two decades and recommendations for future studies.

The present study measured household hunger in South-East Nigeria amidst COVID-19 lockdown. A total of 1209 households (urban and rural locations) were sampled. Household hunger was determined using Radimer/Cornel hunger scale, while Chi-square test was done with significance of P<0.05. Results of this study revealed 82.7% prevalence of hunger among households before Covid-19 pandemic, while during Covid-19 lockdown, hunger prevalence rose to 98.6%. It was also observed that covid-19 lockdown significantly affected food prices.The major coping strategy employed by households was relying on less expensive foods(81.14%). A genuine fear of household hunger amidst Covid-19 lockdown in south-East Nigeria was confirmed.
Resolving the Blockchain Paradox with Dynamic Immutable Smart Contract (DISC)

While immutability is Blockchain's* much celebrated covenant, change is the rule of life. The paradox has seriously limited real-world deployability of Smart Contracts (SC), faltering its mainstream adoption and sustainability. Once implemented, SC remains unstoppable even if its execution makes losses, as evident in the recently exploded $50+B DeFi industry. How do we reconcile the two and make DeFI/Blockchain profitable and sustainable? A DISC (Dynamic Immutable Smart Contract) hypothesis was proposed to resolve the paradox. Using an existing decentralized IoT device framework we test the DISC hypothesis, by designing/implementing a DISC protocol that delivers an algorithmically controlled dynamic off-chain data feed into a self-executing SC. The experiment successfully introduced limited dynamism into SC without compromising its immutability or undermining user control over their SC terms. If consistently reproduced in diverse settings, the DISC protocol could earn an important milestone in the evolution of Blockchain's decentralized economy of the future.
TDIC and the fifth competence: in search of understanding the motivations of BNCC to educate in cybercultural complexity
Authors: Carvalho Geovânia Nunes de , Schneider Henrique Nou
Published: May 2021

According to Morin, educating in the 21st century scenario designed by cybercultural complexity and its emergencies, requires an understanding of the need and practice of a flexible, multidimensional, polylogical, transnational, transdisciplinar and complex way of thinking, capable of reconnecting the particularities of a emerging reality as a whole. Faced with such alert and from the complexity paradigm, we will go through the BNCC regarding the considerations that motivated the elaboration of the fifth competence, seeking to diagnose whether we are facing a programmatic or a paradigmatic reform capable of offering the conditions for the complex thinking development. Our reflection is based on specialized bibliography and speech analysis.

Study objective. Аnalysis of actual nutrition of secondary-school children of the city of Samara. Patients and methods. We conducted a questionnaire survey dealing with the issues of actual nutrition with indication of products, dishes, and meals schedules among 120 schoolchildren of grades 10–11. Data analysis was performed using the computer programme Nutri-prof with assessment of the physical development of adolescents and the nutrient composition of daily meals. Results. As has been found, the optimal for adolescence meals schedule (4–6 times a day) is more common for boys than for girls. Girls have a late dinner significantly more often (38.1%). The daily calorie content of the diet in gender groups proved to be below the age-related norm: 1976.0 ± 183 kcal for boys, 2022.4 ± 211 kcal for girls. Although protein intake was adequate, adolescents consumed excessive amounts of fats. The consumption of added sugar was: 37.8 ± 6.8 g a day for boys, and almost twice as much for girls (58.7 ± 12.7 g). As has been found, schoolchildren rarely include food products rich in dietary fiber in their diets. Conclusion. The results are indicative of improper nutrition with nutritional imbalances and an insufficient energy content. Excessive consumption of fats, added sugar and dietary salt has been found along with an inadequate intake of carbohydrates.

The article presents an analytical review of scientific research on physical activity of overweight and obese children and adolescents. Obese children have low physical activity levels, decreased exercise tolerance, low adherence to active lifestyles. Worldwide and Russian studies showed that the effectiveness of losing weight and achieving the optimal body weight is higher when various kinds of physical exercises are included in comprehensive obesity treatment programmes. The most significant results for losing weight and increasing exercise tolerance are obtained in patients who are more highly motivated for moderate or high physical activity during 60-minute exercises not less than 3 times a week.
