Authors: Fifian Permata Sari  , Munajat
Published: June 2023

One of the agricultural sub-sectors that occupy a strategic position in agricultural development is the horticultural sub-sector, with one of its potential commodities being avocado. Avocado is one of the export-based commodities, especially in South OKU Regency, South Sumatra Province. This study aims to obtain an overview of the Avocado Agribusiness Supply Chain management in South OKU Regency. The study was conducted in Warkuk Selatan District, South OKU Regency in February 2022. The research method used was a qualitative descriptive method with a type of data using primary data and secondary data. The data analysis method uses the Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) method, which illustrates South Oku Regency's avocado supply chain model. The results showed that the Avocado Management Supply Chain Management model with the FSCN framework consisted of four main components: the supply chain structure, the business chain process, supply chain management, and supply chain resources. Avocado supply chain targets are still dominated to meet the domestic market and products in the form of fresh avocados for consumption. Avocado supply chain management comprises election partners, contractual agreements, transaction systems, government support, and supply chain collaboration. The avocado supply chain structure in South OKU Regency consists of farmers, collecting traders, local and non-local traders, retailers, and consumers with respective roles in the supply chain structure.  Business processes in avocado supply chain management consist of procurement, replenishment, and customer order cycles. Based on marketing margin analysis, the lowest total marketing margin is found in channel IV, with a margin value of Rp 1,500 per kg. The four avocado marketing channels in South Warkuk Ranau District have Farmer’s Share ≥40%, so it is categorized as an efficient channel.

Authors: Manar Marsandi , Sudana Dadang , Lukmana Iwa
Published: June 2023

Comprehending the linguistic features of deaf student writers in comparison to those of the hearing group at the further phase helps in providing pedagogical treatment for mitigating the linguistic gap between both. In line with this idealism, the present study aims to reveal the phenomena of prepositional phrase positions and patterns of deaf and hearing students in representing the circumstances of their real-life narratives. Four stories about being chased by a dog were elicited from each of the groups. The analysis was carried out by employing the table adapted from the experiential framework of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004). The findings in general reveal the less flexible positions of prepositional phrases and the less complex prepositional phrase patterns of the deaf group. Though the results of this study might not be absolutely conclusive, at least they portray the insight into the certain tendency between both groups of students in representing the circumstances for their meaning making of narratives. At the further phase, the findings of the present study are expected to provide benefits for language teachers and practitioners in the context of special education especially the case of deafness.
Petrochemical characteristics of Precambrian amphibolites from the northern parts of the Central Rhodopes
Authors: Kozhoukharova Evgenia
Published: June 2023

Ortho- and paraamphibolites in the northern part of the Central Rhodope Mts. are metamorphosed into amphibolite facies showing no traces of migmatization. This study is an analysis of the major and trace elements, REE included. Part of the orthoamphibolites represented by amphibolized metabasalts and garnet amphibolites are products of a subvolcanic autochthonous magmatism of tholeiitic affinities. Geochemically, they are comparable to the island-arc igneous rocks. The mrtabasalts show high alumina contents, varying iron and titanium contents and a tholeiite-like REE distribution. The garnet amphibolites are characterized by high iron and titanium contents. The predominating role of garnet in these rocks is reflected in the marked prevalence of HREE among REE and in the negative europium anomaly. Some bedded amphibolites of unknown origin show similar geochemical characteristics combining the features of island-arc and of ocean-floor tholeiites. The paraamphibolites differ sharply from the typical orthoamphibolites in their much lower iron, titanium and vanadium contents and higher calcium, aluminium, zirconium and LREE contents. Fe, Ti, Mg. V, Cr, Ni, Zr, Hf and REE are relatively immobile elements during metamorphism and their ratios can be reliably used to distinguish, characterize and determine the primary features of the amphibolite rock groups.

Formalized geochemical models have been constructed in the relative metrics of a standard in the primary halo contour of the main component. They arc based on geochemical zonality studi esand on the similarity method. Formalized models of gold and polymetallic ore formations were built for the first time in Bulgaria on the example of the copper-gold-polymetallic deposits in Vozdol in the Chelopech ore field. For that purpose were used investigations on the relationships belween the alterations in gold productivity and on the total amount of lead and zinc and the changes in the ore zones in depth. Taking into account the models the range of two types of ore depos its as well as the prognostication of metal resources according to geochemical data were determined. The prospects of gold and lead-zinc formation in an ore deposit were specified. A model of the gold formation for the whole field of the ore deposit was created according to the for ecast resources assessment. The numeriacal values of the factor for the estimation of the prognostication resources of gold in genetically similar deposits differing in sizes were found. The obtained models confirmed the well-known generalization of the endogenous ore formation. They can be used further for the estimation of similar sites in the ore field of Panagjurishte. On the example of the lead-zinc deposits in Rouen and Mali Rouen from the Ossogovo ore region, as well as the copper-pyrites deposits Radka in Panagjurishte ore region, it has been demonstrated how the real extent of the standard can be enlar ged and how the necessary number of zone indices may be chosen so that the formalized models of endogenous ore formation are constructed more effectively. This method is suitable for the creati on of the formalized models of the main industrial types of hydrothermal ore deposits in Bulgaria on the basis of the available data.

Thyroid hormone plays a significant role in the neurocognitive development. Language disorders with thyroid agenesis and congenital hypothyroidism are well documented in the literature however language dysfunction with adult hypothyroidism is very rarely reported in the literature. Here we present a rare case of language dysfunction in a 33 years old male with hypothyroidism with elevated Anti thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO) antibody titer with no other significant abnormality on thorough examination and detailed evaluation. He had no response with thyroxine replacement alone but responded dramatically with steroid therapy in anti-inflammatory doses. This case possibly highlights the probable role of steroid apart from standard indication like steroid responsive encephalopathy.

The Impact of the Trans-Java Toll Road Development on Spatial Planning in the Northern Region of Java Island: A Study Utilizing NDBI and Google Earth Images
Authors: Shofy Yuny Fikriyah , Wibowo Adi
Published: June 2023

The primary objective of toll roads is to stimulate economic growth. As the pivotal road network on Java Island, the Trans-Java Toll Road has a significant impact on regional development and spatial planning. However, there has been a lack of research focusing on the specific influence of this toll road on spatial planning. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively examine the spatial and temporal implications of the Trans-Java Toll Road. To achieve this goal, the Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI) method is employed using satellite imagery. This method is widely recognized for its effectiveness in detecting changes in built-up areas through remote sensing techniques. The calculated NDBI values reveal substantial expansion of built-up areas in the cities and regencies traversed by the Trans-Java Toll Road. Notably, two specific areas with the highest rates of change are investigated: Gresik Regency and Bekasi Regency, where the built-up areas have experienced remarkable growth of over 186.9% and 61.8% respectively over a five-year period. To validate these findings, Google Earth imagery is utilized for two different years, namely 2016 and 2021. The observed changes in these regions are predominantly attributed to the economic growth facilitated by the establishment of industrial areas. Consequently, the expansion of industrial zones and settlements has resulted in a notable reduction in wetland areas and a simultaneous increase in built-up areas.

Published: June 2023

This study examines the impact of road and construction capital expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria. The study covered the period of 1981 to 2020 and employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) to analyze the annual time series data collected from National Bureau of Statistics, BudgiT and Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. While the data for road and construction capital expenditure were collected from NBS and BudgiT database, the data for gross domestic product and commercial banks’ credit to the construction sector were obtained from CBN statistical Bulletin. The findings reveal that government capital expenditure on road and construction has a negative and statistically insignificant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The result further shows that commercial banks’ credit to the construction sector has a positive but statistically insignificant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that the government should ensure that allocations to this sector are properly monitored in order to enhance economic growth. Government should also encourage banks to give more loans for infrastructural development by reducing the bank rate.
Self-Care Behaviour: The Life-Changing Magic in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Care
Authors: C.C. Asonye , F. Ojewole
Published: June 2023

Diabetes Mellitus is a ‘silent disease’ with minimal symptoms at the beginning and rapidly progresses until target organ damage. Moreover, because of its serious consequences, it has become a significant public health concern. Though genetics play an essential role in the development of diabetes, studies on monozygotic twins have shown the importance of environmental influences. Diabetes education is essential but must ultimately be transferred to action to benefit the patient. Individuals with diabetes have been shown to dramatically impact their disease’s progression and development by participating in their care. Because a high percentage of the world’s diabetes cases belong to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) with modifiable risk factors such as an unhealthy diet, being obese or overweight, a sedentary lifestyle, and smoking, therefore, individuals with T2DM can be helped to modify these factors through behavioural changes to achieve and maintain optimum blood glucose levels.

Published: June 2023

Reduction of infant mortality has been one of the key issues for both government and individuals. The purpose of this study is to predict and determine the infant mortality rate in the future. To achieve our aim, we used Linear Regression model and student t-test to analyze our data. Data were collected from Specialist Hospital, Jalingo, Taraba State and the analysis was done based on the stated methods in the stated models. The results showed that in 2019, the mortality will be 45 per 1000 and birth will be 124 per 1000; in 2025, the mortality will be 65 per 1000 and birth will be 191 per 1000; in 2030, the mortality will be 90 per 1000 and birth will be 272 per 1000; in 2035, the mortality will be 110 per 1000 and birth will be 340 per 1000. This shows that as the birth is increasing, death is also increasing. From Figure 2, we discovered that mortality is on the increase from year to year. The t-test indicated that there is a linear relationship between infant mortality and birth from 2018–2037, which shows us that t calculated (0.143) < t tabulated (2.021), thereby giving us room not to reject our H0.

CKD is a progressive illness that affects more than 800 million people worldwide, with a higher prevalence among older individuals, women, racial minorities, and those with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. African Americans have a higher prevalence of CKD, along with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. The paper investigates the occurrence of CKD in this population and explores the etiology of the disease, including non-modifiable risk factors like genetics and modifiable risk factors such as hypertension and metabolic factors.

The incidence of cerebrovascular diseases increases with age, and the number of strokes is projected to increase as the elderly population grows. Most cerebrovascular diseases are manifest by the abrupt onset of a focal neurologic deficit. Computed Tomography images identify or exclude hemorrhage as the cause of stroke, and they identify extra-parenchymal hemorrhages, neoplasms, abscesses, and other conditions masquerading as stroke. Non-contrast CT brain is the 1st imaging investigation usually performed in acute stroke patients. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reliably documents the extent and location of infarction in all areas of the brain, including the posterior fossa and cortical surface. It also identifies intracranial hemorrhage and other abnormalities but is less sensitive than CT for detecting acute blood. Diffusion-weighted imaging is more sensitive for early brain infarction than standard MR sequences or CT, as is fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging. Using IV administration of gadolinium contrast, MR perfusion studies can be performed. Thus it is evident that both TCD and MRA are promising modalities in the evaluation of acute stroke. This dissertation aims to compare and correlate the findings of MRA and TCD and their advantages and disadvantages in the practical hospital set-up. Total 50 patients – 30 Male and 20 Females – with a clinical diagnosis of stroke (Acute or Chronic) were evaluated with MRI and MR Angiography and Transcranial Doppler(TCD) with TCD being performed prior to MRI/MRA in all patients. Time interval between these two examinations was 2 to 8 hours. Out of 50 patients studied, 10 patients were excluded due to inadequate insonation windows. Of the 40 patients, 24 patients showed abnormality on MRA. Of the MRA abnormal 24 patients, 20 were abnormal on TCD (True positive on TCD), while 4 were normal on TCD (False negative on TCD). Also of the 16 MRA normal patients, 9 were normal on TCD (True negative) while 7 were abnormal on TCD (False positive). Analysis of above findings revealed, Sensitivity 83.33 %, Specificity 56.25%, Positive predictive value 74.07 %, Negative predictive value 69.23 % for TCD compared to MRA in Assessment of the Anterior circulation.

COVID-19 related ‘Dragon pandemic’ caused significant mortality and its lingering effects as long covid with huge impact on morbidity and quality of life. As pandemic has waned off, still rescue breath is in doubt due to evolving mutants and variants of great concern. COVID-19 infection involves a complex interplay of the immunological and inflammatory responses. Inflammatory parameters are closely linked to the COVID-19 severity and mortality. Inflammatory parameters could be used to predict the transition from mild to severe/critical infection in patients of COVID-19. Numerous Inflammatory markers were analyzed and used as point of care test to predict severity of illness, monitoring of illness, treatment planning and predicting final outcomes such as CRP, LDH, IL-6, D-dimer and ferritin. Robust data of these inflammatory markers is available and proved crucial in predicting pathophysiological trends such as cytokine storm, coagulation abnormalities, oxygenation status and response to therapy. Isolated assessment of inflammatory markers in absence of clinical and radiological parameters were observed as ‘double edged weapon’ due to overestimation and its impact on health burden and underprediction resulting into progression of illness and resultant poor outcome and increased health care cost. Composite index is combination clinical, radiological and laboratory inflammatory marker assessment. Combination of any two abnormalities were observed crucial role in early suspicion, diagnosis, monitoring, and recognition of complications, management and disposition of patients. Composite index rather than single biomarkers may provide more reliable information. Availability and cost issues cannot be ignored. It would be impossible for clinicians to consolidate and critically analyze the enormous data that is continuously added to the COVID-19 literature to extract practically useful information for the benefit of patients. Still, as of now Composite index is sensitive and effective tool to assess COVID-19 cases at entry point and to analyze exact status of illness which will have successful treatment outcome and thus considered as ‘point of care test’ in this ‘Dragon Pandemic’.

The biology of the Siricoidea superfamily, a sister group of the Symphyta and the family Orussidae (Parasitica: Woodwasps), can be imagined as the evolution of parasitoids would have been. The larvae of the Siricoidea wasps generally feed on dead wood that has been previously digested by a fungal symbiont. For this reason, many species carry spores of the fungus that they leave on the wood during oviposition. Diversity and ecology of parasitoid insects of the Family Orussidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera). In summary, basically, the following steps of analysis were covered: Exhaustive reading of each national and international article aiming at a global understanding and discovery of the approach used by its authors; Identification of the central ideas of each article; Classification of ideas around nuclei of meaning; Comparison between the different nuclei of meaning present in the studied articles; Classification of the nuclei of meaning in broader axes (themes) around which the authors' discussions revolved and (e) writing of the interpretative syntheses of the theme.

Tanulmányunk az első olyan elemzés, amely a felvidéki, erdélyi, vajdasági és kárpátaljai 15-29 éves magyar fiatalok reprezentatív mintáján a formális és az informális önkéntesek jellemzőinek leírására, valamint az azt befolyásoló tényezők feltárására vállalkozik. A régiónkénti részletes elemzések három kérdés megválaszolását szolgálták. Egyrészt, a határon túli önkéntes fiatalok körében a formális és informális önkéntesek megoszlása mennyiben követi az az adott országokbeli trendeket. Másrészt, a szakirodalmi elemzések alapján igazolható-e, hogy a határon túli formális önkéntes fiatalok körében is nagyobb gyakorisággal találhatók a magasabb társadalmi és gazdasági státuszú, illetve a vallásos emberek. A formális és informális aktív önkéntes fiatalokat a közösségi erőforrás hordozóinak és a közösségszervezés erőinek tekintve, harmadik kutatási kérdésünk az volt, hogy a korcsoportok közül kik jelentik a formális önkéntesek bázisát. Elemzésünket a Magyar Ifjúság Kutatás 2020 külhoni adatfelfelvételében az aktív önkéntességre és civil szervezeti kötődésre vonatkozó kérdések mentén végeztük el, kétváltozós elemzés és logisztikus regressziós modellek alkalmazásával. Eredményeink szerint a formális és informális önkéntesek megoszlásában az adott országi trendek szerinti megoszlás csak a felvidéki fiatalok körében jellemző. A többi régióban a magyar fiatalok között jóval magasabb volt a formális önkéntesek aránya, ami az önkéntes fiatalok erős szervezeti elköteleződésére utal, illetve, hogy ezek a fiatalok a határon túli ifjúsági szervezetek számára jelentős erőforrást jelenthetnek. A szakirodalomban leírtakkal összhangban adataink – a határon túli fiatalok esetében is – azt igazolták, hogy a formális önkéntesek inkább a magasabb társadalmi és gazdasági státuszúak közül kerültek ki, de ebben a vizsgált régiók között mutatkoztak kisebb különbségek. A vallásosság a kárpátaljai fiatalok formális önkéntességének esélyét növelte leginkább. Általánosságban elmondható, hogy a formális önkéntesek életkori bázisát a 19-24 éves, felsőfokú tanulmányaikat végző, főként városokban lakó fiatalok jelentik, míg az informális önkéntesek között főként a 25-29 éves fiatalokat találtuk meg. E tekintetben az erdélyi önkéntes fiatalok almintája mutatott nagyobb eltérést. A szakirodalmi leírásokkal egyetértve úgy látjuk, hogy a formális és informális önkéntesség kiegészíti egymást és az informális önkéntesek a határon túli ifjúsági szervezetek számára jó önkéntesmenedzsmenti munkával elérhető és kiaknázható erőforrásokat jelentenek.
