Authors: Salsabila Shaulla , Azizah Ulfa
Published: March 2024

Background: MP-ASI is a transitional food given when babies are six months old to minimize the risk of malnutrition. One of the success factors in giving MP-ASI is the mother's knowledge regarding the accuracy of the baby's age and the composition contained therein. Food composition, food texture, and frequency of feeding are crucial in the practice of complementary feeding, and in this modern era, mothers still underestimate them. Method: This study used a quantitative method, with a quasi-experimental design with one group pre and post-test. The sample of this research was 46 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The level of knowledge of the intervention group before and after the intervention was given had an average of 6.85 (enough) to 11.83 (good). The behaviour level of the intervention group before and after the intervention had an average of 40.59 (incorrect) to 48.91 (accurate). The p-value of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (0.00) means that booklet media affects the level of knowledge and behaviour. Conclusion: The GEMAR booklet media is influential in efforts to increase the level of knowledge and behaviour of mothers in giving MP-ASI to infants aged 6-12 months.

Nel 1981 viene pubblicato il romanzo Un grido lacerante: una resa dei conti tra Lucia Lopresti e Anna Banti. Questo studio fa quindi luce sull’interazione tra archivi ed emozioni, e sul ruolo attivo che le emozioni giocano nel plasmare la creazione e la distruzione degli archivi in questo contesto e non solo.
La cooperativa come esperienza relazionale fra passato e presente
Authors: Biddoccu Giacomo
Published: March 2024

La cooperativa è un’impresa nella quale le relazioni tra i soci sono orientate al conseguimento di un fine comune: la realizzazione dello scopo mutualistico attraverso l’esercizio di una specifica attività imprenditoriale. In pratica, coesistono due dimensioni distinte sia pure non rivali: quella economica, perché si tratta di una impresa che opera entro il mercato, accettandone la logica e le regole, e quella civile, perché persegue fini extraeconomici e genera esternalità positive a vantaggio di altri soggetti e virtualmente dell’intera collettività. In questo contributo, sulla base di stimoli provenienti dall’analisi storica, si riflette sull’impresa cooperativa in chiave di esperienza relazionale.

Improving Low Mathematics Achievers’ Number Sense via Number Line Training with Board Games
Authors: Sarı Mehmet Hayri , Olkun Sinan
Published: March 2024

This study investigated the effect of a number line training via lineer board games with specific contents, namely numerical and figural, on students’ number line estimation skills, arithmetic performance, and mathematics achievement. A total of 30 first graders (15 in experimental and 15 in control group) participated in the study. There were 2 speech and language disorder (SLD) students, one in each, in the control and experimental groups. Number line training with a board game, Sahibingo® was implemented in the experimental group, while a non-numerical board game, Animalbingo, was used in the control group. Training lasted for 30 minutes a day, one day a week, and 4 weeks (2 hours in total). Results indicated that students, including the SLD, in the experimental group improved their number line estimation skills in 0-10 and 0-20 number range, but not in the 0-100 range. Improvements did not reflect in arithmetic performance and mathematics achievement scores. Although there are some improvements in small range number line estimations possibly because of the familiarity there is no improvement in the larger range and in terms of mathematics achievement scores, possibly because of the shorter period of training. It can be concluded that low mathematics achievers’ number sense can be improved via lineer board games with numerical content. Future research may investigate the effect of longer periods and may include other students with special needs.
One way to improve the quality of a medical manipulator for sterile boxes
Authors: Dovnar O.I. , Cherkis V.I. , Zinchenko O.M. , Kadaner O.O.
Published: March 2024

Today, the advanced robot-surgeons and medical manipulators are managed by operators. Among the best recognized systems are: Da Vinci, Robodoc, SMR Surgical Versius. Further development of medical robotic surgery field requires new solutions in the engineering and software spheres. The main issues and directions are remote surgical operations online as well as automation of processes in sterile boxes. To overcome such limitations, the system must be of minimal size, but it should not lose its accuracy and power. A large number of solutions are aimed at a specific characteristic: Robodoc (accuracy and automation), Da Vinci (flexibility and remote control), SMR Surgical Versius (modularity and miniaturization). If the system has high accuracy, small dimensions and the possibility of automation, it will significantly accelerate the development of robotic surgery.

This task can be solved by removing all electronic components from the segments of the manipulator. Such a solution is already available in the robot surgeon Da Vinci, but a cable mechanism is used there at the base of the segments, which does not allow automating the process because of a low accuracy. The solution that will ensure sufficient accuracy and allow automating the processes is using a bevel gear inside the segments. In this way, it is possible to reduce significantly the size and to increase the accuracy (enlarging the number and type of motors), as well as to make the system as modular as possible, which in its turn will simplify the repair and maintenance.

A manipulator prototype was developed and printed on the NodeMcu hardware platform. The main functionality corresponds to the task. The dimensions of the prototype are 324x324x620 mm, but at the same time, like Da Vinci's robotic surgeon, 7 degrees of freedom remained. Nema17 motors have been used, the accuracy has increased significantly and reaches more than 0.01mm Automation research is still ongoing, but the vibration rate has been significantly reduced because all the motors are placed separately. Technical solutions will allow automating work in sterile boxes, ensuring maximum reliability.
URBAN UPGRADE IN BISKRA’S SHANTYTOWNS SAMPLE: THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF SIDI GHAZEL AND SIDI ROUAG (ALGERIA)

The shantytowns or slum area started to appear in the urban fabric within town zones in Algeria during the colonial period. This situation endured after the independence, in particular during the seventies of the last century. The reasons : a population growth and an increasing urbanization in big and intermediate cities, in addition to the industrial establishment resulting from the development choices. This latter wasn’t supported by balanced development. The impact was obvious on the urban development of the Algerian cities. Hence, the slum areas increased outside the town urban perimeter, where the public lands and the lands inconvenient for urbanization such as river shores, old quarries and hills. The citizen, in cause of that, stood in a permanent conflict with the relevant authorities, in particular municipalities, to settle the situation or to remove definitively the house. Hence, this situation leads to a degradation in the urban fabric and planning of numerous cities. The Governorate of Biskra was also affected by this phenomenon starting from the 1970s. It results, among other reasons, from its elevation to the status of Governorate in 1974 following the second administrative structuring in Algeria after the independence.
An Integrated, Multi-Level Approach to Interpersonal Aggression and Family Violence
Authors: Michalski Joseph
Published: March 2024

The study of interpersonal aggression has been carried out for the most part in separate spheres by experts from an array of academic disciplines. To advance a deeper understanding of these issues, however, requires a more conciliatory and interdisciplinary approach. The article offers just such an integrated approach, using a multi-level heuristic framework that has direct parallels with ecological modeling. In addition, the approach expands the analytic focus to reflect different aspects of complex human behavior, which include: 1) the behavioral investment framework, or the bio-psychological reality of the human animal; 2) the socialization framework, or the social psychological aspects of human learning and development; 3) the justification framework, or the language, knowledge, and meaning systems that one acquires to facilitate interpersonal communication and to justify one’s actions; 4) the social location framework, or the social interactional dynamics of interpersonal relationships that animate one’s daily life as a member of various groups and social networks; and 5) the societal context framework, or the broader institutional forms and sociocultural conditions within which individuals and groups are situated. The current approach bridges human neurophysiology and psychology with sociology in a developmental, ecological context that examines each dimension of human behavior. While the five dimensions can be separated analytically, in practice these overlap to exert multiple influences. Such a conciliatory framing permits a more comprehensive analysis of human social animals as situated within their natural environments. The paper outlines how each of the five levels contributes to expressions of interpersonal aggression by elaborating on key mechanisms that operate across the different levels of informational complexity. Several examples of empirical research are cited to illustrate the core principles that operate within and across the five complementary frameworks. Keywords: interpersonal aggression, violence, ecological model, integrated framework
On the h-measure of an exceptional set in Fenton-type theorem for Taylor-Dirichlet series
Authors: Bodnarchuk A.Yu. , Gal' Yu.M. , Skaskiv O.B.
Published: March 2024

We consider the class $S(\lambda,\beta,\tau)$ of convergent for all  $x\ge0$

Taylor-Dirichlet type series of the form

$$F(x) =\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}{b_ne^{x\lambda_n+\tau(x)\beta_n}},\ 

b_n\geq 0\ (n\geq 0),$$

 where  $\tau\colon [0,+\infty)\to

(0,+\infty)$\ is a continuously differentiable non-decreasing function,

$\lambda=(\lambda_n)$ and $\beta=(\beta_n)$ are such that $\lambda_n\geq 0, \beta_n\geq 0$ $(n\geq 0)$.

In the paper we give a partial answer to a question formulated by Salo T.M., Skaskiv O.B., Trusevych O.M. on International conference  ``Complex Analysis and Related Topics'' (Lviv, September 23-28, 2013) ([2]). We prove the following statement: For each increasing function  $h(x)\colon [0,+\infty)\to (0,+\infty)$, $h'(x)\nearrow +\infty$ $ (x\to +\infty)$, every sequence  $\lambda=(\lambda_n)$ such that 

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}\frac1{\lambda_{n+1}-\lambda_n}<+\infty$

and for any non-decreasing sequence  $\beta=(\beta_n)$ such that

$\beta_{n+1}-\beta_n\le\lambda_{n+1}-\lambda_n$ $(n\geq 0)$ 

there exist a function  $\tau(x)$ such that $\tau'(x)\ge 1$ $(x\geq x_0)$, a function  $F\in S(\alpha, \beta, \tau)$, a set  $E$ and  a constant $d>0$ such that $h-\mathop{meas} E:=\int_E dh(x)=+\infty$ and $(\forall x\in E)\colon\ F(x)>(1+d)\mu(x,F),$ where $\mu(x,F)=\max\{|a_n|e^{x\lambda_n+\tau(x)\beta_n}\colon n\ge 0\}$ is

the maximal term of the series.

 

At the same time, we also pose some open questions and formulate one conjecture.

Published: March 2024

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) is a versatile crop cultivated for its seeds, which are valuable source of ω-3 fatty acids. It adversely affected by soil salinity, as high salt levels can hinder their growth and reduce yields. To assess the potential for mitigating the adverse effects of high salinity concentrations, enhancing the resilience of  three genotypes (Shekhar, Sheela, and Kartika) of linseed plants, this research aimed to find out the impact of Gibberellic acid (GA3) and Calcium (Ca) on various aspects of root morphology, osmotic potential of linseed, under varying levels of Cl- dominated salinity. The study employed three salinity levels (0, 5, and 10 dSm-1) and exogenous application of  10−6 M GA3 and/or 10 mg CaCl2 kg-1 in potted plants.The findings indicated that increasing salinity stress significantly (p≤0.05) affected root parameters, including total surface area(43.45%), average diameter(42.06%), total projected area(44.45%),   length per volume (66.23%), root length, total root volume (73.23%), tips, forks,fine roots, and osmotic potential(66.67%). Correlations among linseed genotypes were observed between various root morphology and osmotic potential parameters. The application of GA3 and Ca effectively ameliorated the impact of salinity stress at its highest level (10 dSm-1), resulting in increased root parameters while decreasing the osmotic potential (Ψs). Both GA3 and Ca treatments significantly influenced root architecture and maintained optimal osmotic potential. The chloride-dominated salinity exerted inhibitory effects on all three genotypes’ (Shekhar, Sheela, and Kartika) root growth parameters while applying GA3 and Ca successfully mitigated these effects, enhancing root growth.

Integrated nutrient management (INM) practices and suitable cropping systems are an effective and promising way for enhancing crop productivity. However, the impact of proper INM practices and cultivation methods in rice cropping systems in dry tracts remains unclear. The field study evaluated the suitable cropping system under different rice establishment methods with INM practices in a sequential cropping system( rice-black gram, rice-maize, and rice-groundnut). Treatments were designed as two rice establishment methods [Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) and Transplanted Rice (TPR)] and five  INM practices [RDF-Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (120:40:40 kg NPK ha-1) alone, RDF + Poultry manure compost @ 5 t ha-1, RDF+  Coir pith compost @ 5 t ha-1, RDF+ Green manure  @ 6.25 t ha-1 and RDF-Green leaf manure @ 6.25 t ha-1].  TPR with the INM practice of RDF + poultry manure compost @ 5 t ha-1  recorded maximum productive tillers m-2 (351), number of filled grains panicle-1 (130.2), grain yield (6709 kg ha-1) and straw yield (9015 kg ha-1) of rice. Rice fallow crops (black gram, maize and groundnut) recorded 10 – 24,10-18  and 10 - 21 % higher values of yield components and yield, respectively, in DSR with INM treatment of RDF + Green manure  @ 6.25 t ha-1 . Thus, RDF plus green manure or poultry manure application is an apt INM practice for a rice-based sequential cropping system under DSR, and the rice-black gram is an economical and sustainable cropping system for dry tracts of the southern zone of Tamil Nadu.

Foliar spraying of nanoparticles (NPs) improves the absorption of plant nutrient application compared to traditional soil–root application, and it also enhances the yield and quality of fruits. The present study aimed to evaluate the qualitative effects of foliar sprays of two concentrations of nano-zinc and nano-copper (40 ppm, 60 ppm; 20 ppm, 30 ppm respectively), in comparison to ZnSo4 (recommended by, Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana) and control (foliar spray of water) on the guava crop (var. Allahabad Safeda). The experiment was conducted at Lovely Professional University Research farm, Phagwara, Jalandhar (Punjab) by applying a simple randomized block design, with ten treatments applied as T1: control, T2: nano-Zn1, T3: nano-Zn2, T4: nano-Cu1, T5: nano-Cu2, T6: nano-Zn1+ nano-Cu1, T7: nano-Zn1+ nano-Cu2, T8: nano-Zn2 + nano-Cu1, T9: nano-Zn2 + nano-Cu2, T10: ZnSO4 (PAU recommendation) in three replications. The treatments were sprayed two times, first at the flowering stage and second when the fruit reached pea size. The nutrient spray increases the concentration of nutrients in the leaves while also affecting the biochemical parameters. The performance for total soluble solids (9.89°B), total sugars (8.74%), titratable acidity (0.98%), antioxidants (7.49%), firmness (5.71kg/cm2), non-reducing sugars (3.32%), Vitamin-C (268.90mg/100g pulp), pectin content (2.13%), reducing sugars (5.46%), and TSS/acid ratio (10.06) was superior with the application of nano-Zn2 + nano-Cu2 (T9). The application of nano-micronutrients (zinc and copper) in combination is favorable for the quality of guava fruit (Allahabad Safeda).

Organic fertilization is very important to maintain sustainable land and environmental productivity. Organic fertilizer from Azolla has the advantage of increasing soil fertility by increasing nutrient availability. This study aimed to determine the effect of Azolla application on the availability and uptake of N, P, and K of Inpari 32 variety rice plants. This research used  9 treatments: (T0= control, T1= 90 kg/h NPK, T2= 45 kg/h NPK, T3= 10 t/h Manure, T4= 2 t/h Manure + 90 kg/h NPK, T5= 10 t/h Rice straw compost, T6= 2 t/h Rice straw compost + 90 kg/h NPK, T7= 10 t/h Azolla, T8= 2 t/h Azolla + 90 kg/h NPK) with as control and 3 replications, so there were 27 experimental plots. This research was located in the paddy field of Madiun Regency, East Java. The results showed that Azolla, manure, and straw compost at a dose of 10 t/ha increased soil C-organic, soil Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), and soil pH, which was still in the neutral range. Azolla fertilizer increased the highest soil total N compared to cow manure and straw compost and increased the efficiency of NPK fertilizer use. Azolla (T7) increased soil available P (27.02 ppm) and exchangeable K (17.63 me/100g soil). Azolla had the highest available P effect. Azolla (T7) and manure (T4) were affected by increasing K-exchange. Azolla fertilizer, manure, and rice straw compost increased vegetative plant growth (plant height, number of tillers, shoot and root biomass). Among the three, Azolla fertilizer had the highest effect. Organic fertilization affected N, P, and K uptake, which was highest in Azola fertilizer (T7). For manure, varied NPK fertilizer (T4) just showed an increase in P uptake, and compost fertilizer varied NPK fertilizer (T6) showed a rise in K uptake. A positive relationship existed between the availability and uptake of nutrients N, P, and K.

Authors: Macabudbud, Jr. Sutero S.
Published: March 2024

Waste Coconut Kernels (WCK) and Sweet Potato (SP) peels are considered household wastes for animal feeding. The present study aimed to develop waste coconut kernel and sweet potato peels creamy roll as innovative guides for the Extension program guide. This experimental study used three formulations varying amounts of WCK with 100g, 150g and 200g; SP peels with 150g, 200g, and 250g mixed with milk solution, sugar and unsalted spring roll wrappers. The study focused on investigating the sensory attributes of the creamy roll development across different formulations, assessing its general acceptability in terms of color, flavor, odor and texture, identifying the most preferred formulation (F1, F2, and F3) based on the panel of tasters, and examining if there were significant differences among the product attributes. Based on Data analysis involved calculating weighted means and conducting One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the results revealed that F3, consisting of 250g of SP, 200g of WCK, 250g of milk solution, and 180g of sugar, was the most preferred in terms of flavor, odor and texture, with overall means of 3.67, 4.08, and 3.85, respectively. However, F2 was preferred only in color. A significant difference was observed in flavor indicated by a p-value of .042, lower than the predetermined alpha level of .05. Post-hoc analysis indicated differing perceptions between the 35 experienced consumers and 15 food experts. The most preferred formulation had a sensory acceptability rating of “acceptable” with a mean of 3.92. Based on the findings, the 250g SP peels and 200g WCK were adopted as an Extension program guide.

Published: March 2024

Tarih boyunca salgın potansiyeli taşıyan bulaşıcı hastalıklar ortaya çıkmış ve düzenli olarak yayılarak veba, kolera, grip, şiddetli akut solunum sendromu koronavirüsü (SARS-CoV) ve Orta Doğu solunum sendromu koronavirüsü (MERS-CoV) gibi büyük salgınlara neden olarak insanlık tarihi üzerinde derin etkiler bırakmıştır. Yakın zamanda ise dünya şiddetli akut solunum yolu sendromu koronavirüsü 2 (SARS-CoV-2) salgınıyla karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Salgınlara yol açan bu bulaşıcı hastalıkların çoğu, üreme, avlanma ve küresel ticaret gibi faaliyetler yoluyla hayvanlarla artan etkileşimler nedeniyle insanlara geçen zoonotik patojenlerden kaynaklanmaktadır. Gelişen şehirler, artan seyahatlerin yanı sıra artan insan nüfusu nedeniyle ekosistemler üzerindeki etkiler, bulaşıcı hastalıkların ortaya çıkmasını ve yayılmasını artırarak salgınlara hatta pandemilere yol açmıştır. Patojenlerin hayvanlardan insanlara zoonotik aktarımı, ortaya çıkan enfeksiyonların tarih boyunca insanları etkilemesinde önemli bir mekanizmadır. Bu patojenlerin insanlara bulaşma mekanizmalarının anlaşılması, önleme ve kontrol yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Çağlar boyunca izolasyon, karantina ve sınır kontrolü gibi halk sağlığı önlemlerinin uygulanması, bulaşıcı hastalıkların yayılmasının kontrol altına alınmasına ve toplum yapısının korunmasına yardımcı olmuştur. Eski Çağlardan içinde bulunduğumuz tarihe kadar uzanan bulaşıcı hastalıklar bunların yaşamlara, tarihsel ve toplumsal eğilimlere etkisi, bize sürekli olarak bulaşıcı hastalıkların taşıdığı muazzam gücü hatırlatmaktadır.
Late-onset familial amyloidosis polyneuropathy associated with c.186G>C in transthyretin
Authors: Conti María Eugenia , Menazzi Sebastián , Finkelsteyn Ana Mariel , Figuerola María de Lourdes
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The most common form of hereditary amyloidosis is associated with variants of transthyretin (TTR). Familial amyloidosis polyneuropathy associated with variants of TTR (FAP-TTR) is an infrequent, multisystemic disease, with predominant involvement of the peripheral nervous system. More than 130 pathogenic variants have been identified so far and most of them are amyloidogenic, being Val30Met the most frequently described. Case report: A 74 year-old male was evaluated for progressive decreased sensitivity and associated loss of strength in four limbs in the previous two years, needing assistance for walking. Areflexia, bilateral tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius atrophy, bilateral anesthesia and apalesthesia were found in lower limbs. Bilateral hypoesthesia was reported in upper limbs. No painful dysesthesia, hyperalgesia or allodynia were found. DNA sequencing of the TTR gene led to the detection of the variant c.186G>C in heterozygous state. The resulting variant (Glu62Asp), located in the critical functional domain, has not been published before. Conclusion: The importance of considering late onset, sporadic FAP-TTR as a differential diagnosis of cryptogenic polyneuropathy is highlighted.

Authors: Carducci Maria Eugenia , Izbizky Gustavo
Published: March 2024

Introducción: Se observa un progresivo aumento en la edad de las mujeres al primer embarazo, situación que se ha asociado con mayor riesgo de efectos maternos y perinatales adversos.

Objetivo: Describir las características y los resultados maternos y perinatales de nulíparas de 40 años y mayores y compararlos con los de nulíparas menores de 40.

Material y métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva de embarazos que atendieron su parto en un hospital privado universitario mediante revisión de registros.

Resultados: Se observó asociación entre la edad materna ≥ 40 con el resultado adverso compuesto materno (OR 1.3; IC 95%: 1,1-1,6), DBT g (OR 3,6; IC 95%: 1,8-3,7), enfermedad hipertensiva/PE (OR 2,2; IC 95%: 1,6-3,1) y hemorragia postparto (4,7; IC 95%: 1,2-16.3), persistiendo la edad avanzada como factor de riesgo independiente para el resultado adverso compuesto materno (OR 1,3; IC 95%: 1,1-1,6) y perinatal (OR 1,4; IC 95%: 1,2-1,7) en el análisis multivariado. Se observó mayor tasa de parto pretérmino en el grupo de nulíparas añosas (OR 1,6; IC 95%: 1,3-2,0) con mayor requerimiento de ingreso a UCIN para sus recién nacidos (OR 1,3; IC 95%: 1,0-1,8).

Conclusiones: Las mujeres con edad materna avanzada constituyen una población de alto riesgo, cuya atención y seguimiento requeriría un enfoque diferencial que tenga como objetivo mejorar los resultados maternos y perinatales.
