The objectives of this research are to identify the linguistic features contained in K 13 English textbook revised edition of grades X, XI, and XII published by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia in terms of sentence pattern, types of tenses, voice, and aspect. This research is descriptive quantitative research. The sample of this research is thirty-nine reading passages were extracted from K13 English textbook revised edition published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture for senior high school students in Indonesia. All reading passages are taken as a sample, including fourteen texts of grade X, nine texts of grade XI, and sixteen texts of grade XII. The data were gathered by using a checklist and were analyzed by content analysis method. The findings showed that 1) The most common sentence patterns found are simple sentences. 2) Simple past tense is the majority of tenses used in reading the passages, especially at grade X and XI textbooks, while simple present tense is the dominant tenses found at grade XII. 3) The use of active voice dominates all reading passages at all grade levels. 4) The intensity of using the perfective aspect is higher than the imperfective aspect. 5) This result also implies that there are some differences in the findings of linguistic features from the three levels of this book. First, in terms of sentence patterns used in textbooks, at grade X the order of sentence patterns begins from the simple to the complicated one; simple sentences, then compound sentences, next complex sentences, and finally compound-complex sentences. Meanwhile, at grades XI and XII, the most complicated sentence patterns, namely compound-complex sentences, are less than compound sentences. Second, in terms of the types of tenses, the difference is that at grade X and XI textbooks, it is found that the dominant tenses used are simple past tense, while at grade XII textbooks, the most common tenses are simple present tense. these results indicate that the four linguistic features contained in English textbooks for high school In conclusion students in Indonesia need to be taught to students so that students can more easily understand and capture the meanings contained in the textbooks.

Published: April 2022

A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar, na perspectiva dos direitos humanos, o impacto da globalização na condição socioeconômica da mulher no mercado de trabalho, em especial a mãe trabalhadora.  As mulheres têm ingressado no mercado de trabalho em grandes números, nos últimos 25 anos houve uma participação maior, mesmo assim, não participam de oportunidades iguais de emprego ou em salários iguais com os homens. Essas desigualdades salariais e a pena imposta pelo mercado de trabalho, afetam diretamente às mães trabalhadoras, em especial no período de maternidade.  A Constituição Federal traz a igualdade formal, destinada a todos as pessoas, no entanto, quando se trata de igualdade social entre os trabalhadores, se identifica que a mulher recebe um salário inferior ao homem. A investigação compreende um estudo teórico, bibliográfico baseando-se em levantamento da literatura especializada no tema, disponibilizada em artigos em periódicos revisados por pares e livros, assim como em pesquisa documental realizada por meio de levantamento de jurisprudências acerca do tema. O estudo concluiu que a desigualdade de gênero é uma cruel realidade no mundo contemporâneo e perpassa, inclusive, por aspectos tributários, o que afeta sobremaneira o contexto social, familiar e profissional da mulher, além de se transmudar como vetor de perpetuação de seculares práticas e concepções sexistas, endossando a disparidade de tratamento entre homens e mulheres.

Published: April 2022

Objective: To determine the importance of the formulation of “ideal protein” diets for starting-growing pigs.
Design/methodology/approach: A bibliographic review of the concept of ideal protein and low-protein in pig diets was carried out to determine their practical application in commercial production.
Results: Low-protein diets in pig production are an environmentally friendly strategy. The 3 percentage units of reduction in CP is the maximum level, when only crystalline lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan are available. However, when there is a greater number of synthetic amino acids, the reduction in CP can range from 4 to 5 percentage units.
Study limitations/implications: Market conditions allow the incorporation of lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan into the diet. Potentially, owing to its availability and price, valine could be considered as part of commercial diets in a short time. However, the inclusion of other AA is not currently viable, as a result of their low availability and high market price.
Findings/conclusions: Low-protein diets should be used in pig production, since they maintain or improve the productive variables and reduce the environmental impact, as a result of the reduction of nitrogen excretion to the environment

Published: April 2022

Phytosanitary problems and low prices have put coffee production in a critical situation, affecting the economy of producers and the area cultivated with coffee in the state of Veracruz. The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review of the main researches carried out on sustainability in the coffee agroecosystem and reported in the scientific literature of the last ten years.
The methodology applied was documentary in nature and it was based on the bibliographic review in the search engines Google Scholar, Scopus, and Elsevier Science Direct Freedom. The English and Spanish “evaluation”, “sustainability”, and “coffee” concepts were input into the search engines, combined with Boolean operators. In the last ten years, sustainability studies about coffee agroecosystems were published in South America (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil) and Africa (Uganda) analyzing economic, social, and environmental dimensions. With regard to the evaluation methods, 35.71% used sustainability indexes, performing comparisons between agroecosystems, and endeavored to monitor trends. The Framework for the Evaluation of Natural Resource Management Systems Incorporating Sustainability Indicators (MESMIS) supported 28.57% of the methods. The rest of the studies (7.14%) proposed methodologies that have been validated and adapted to the object-context and the objective. In addition, it was identified that the analysis of the sustainability of the coffee agroecosystem is not close related to the type of coffee system (conventional, organic or agroecological), since the interactions that occur within each system are diverse and complex; social or cultural perceptions are factors that reduce or promote the search for sustainability. It is concluded that few studies (14) about sustainability of coffee agroecosystems have been published during 2010-2019 period.

Circadian Rhythm and Polygenic Risk Scores
Authors: Park Young-Min
Published: April 2022

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) have led to paradigm shift in the study of psychiatric illnesses. However, GWAS has certain limitations. Thus, investigators have invented the concept of polygenic risk using GWAS. The current study aimed to review the papers on the association between polygenic risk score (PRS) and circadian rhythm. Circadian preferences are indicative of endogenous circadian rhythms. Some studies have revealed that the PRS for circadian preferences is associated with sleep timing, median sleep time, and the risk of bipolar disorder. Moreover, another study revealed that the PRS for diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and mood disorders was associated with sleep patterns, wakefulness after sleep onset, and circadian rhythm. In conclusion, the PRS is an anticipated biomarker for predicting diagnosis, treatment response, and clinical outcomes. Thus, PRS will play many roles in personalized medicine soon.

Objective: Bioprosthesis has been used in cardiac valve replacement for a long time. However, structural valve deterioration is still a major cause of failure. There are several risk factors for valve deterioration. This study evaluates the risk factors of valve deterioration in the long term (10 years) at Siriraj Hospital.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 249 patients who underwent mitral or aortic valve replacement between January 2006 and December 2012 using various tissue valves, comprising Carpentier–Edwards porcine, Carpentier–Edwards Perimount bovine pericardial, Carpentier–Edwards Perimount Magna bovine pericardial, and St Jude Trifecta bovine pericardial types. The information from each patient was entered into a database at the time of the operation and followed up regularly, with a mean follow-up of 10 years.Results: After 10 years follow-up time, the incidence of valve deterioration events were 1.2% and 8.43% in the first five and ten years, respectively. The overall death rate during follow-up was 2.41%. There were three statistically significant risk factors (p < 0.05) of valve deterioration: gender (female) (p = 0.042), age ≤ 60 years old (p = 0.010) and St Jude Trifecta bovine pericardial valve (p = 0.004).Conclusion: In the surgical populations who underwent valve replacement at Siriraj Hospital with tissue valves, we found an acceptable long-term durability of the tissue valve. The risk factors of valve deterioration were female gender, age ≤ 60 years old, and St Jude Trifecta bovine pericardial valve.

Published: April 2022

Objective: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a form of multimodal pain management in open abdominal surgery. Among patients who undergo kidney transplantation, their choice of painkillers is limited. This study aims to determine the efficacy of TAP block vs local infiltration in pain management after kidney transplantation.Materials and Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial, 46 patients with end-stage kidney disease who had undergone kidney transplantation were randomly divided into two groups: a local anesthetic infiltration (LA) group receiving 0.25% Bupivacaine 20 ml around the surgical wound before wound closure and a TAP block group receiving 0.25% Bupivacaine 20 ml by the inside-out technique. Their postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 hours.Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline characteristics between the groups. The postoperative pain score at two hours in the TAP block group was significantly lower than in the LA group (P value = 0.037), but without other differences in their pain scores after two hours. There was no statistical difference in the morphine consumption between the two groups. The total morphine consumption in the TAP block group was less than in the LA group, but this was not statistically significant. No patients suffered from complications of the TAP block.Conclusion: Transversus abdominis plane block can reduce postoperative pain at two hours after kidney transplantation, without significant complications.

Published: April 2022

Objective: This study aimed to validate the sensitivity analysis of all the available formulas for their ability to differentiate between IDA and thalassemia and propose a novel formula to improve the sensitivity of all thalassemia subtypes screening.Material and Methods: We conducted a 5-year, single-center, Cohort study on 227 microcytic anemia patients diagnosed between June 2015 and September 2020 at Chaophraya Yommarat Hospital, Suphanburi, Thailand to validate the sensitivity of all the available formulas and invent the novel predictive score.Results: Approximately three-quarters of our cases were all subtypes of thalassemia diseases while 26.9% were IDA. The sensitivity of almost all the previous formulas for thalassemia prediction ranged between 13.9%-44.0%, while the specificity varied between 0%–98.4%. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of the formulas that had favorable sensitivity was quite low. Here, a novel thalassemia–iron deficiency discrimination (TID) predictive score is proposed, which demonstrated a sensitivity of 90.4% the specificity of 78.7%, the positive predictive value of 92.0 %, the negative predictive value of 75.0%, and the accuracy of 87.2%.Conclusion: The proposed TID predictive score is a novel uncomplicated formulation which offers high sensitivity for all thalassemia subtypes prediction.

Authors: R. PRAKASH
Published: April 2022

This paper deals with the tradition of venerating stones in memory of the hero is the tradition of hero worship among Tamil culture. An analysis of the literature, images and writings found on the tombs shows that the tomb was made for a warrior who died in the seizure or recovery of cows and for those who died in battle with deadly beasts. On the hero stones planted for the warriors, animal symbols are engraved to express the heroism of the warrior. The figure of the animal is carved and planted along with the warrior. The fear of the dead and the belief that our ancestors will protect us are essential to worship. It is known that not only humans but also tigers, chickens, dogs, pigs, snakes, deer, elephants, parrots and cows were planted in the heroic stone. From the structure of the tombs and the messages mentioned in them, one can see the various historical backgrounds such as the time, the regime, the forms of writing, the methods of warfare and the cults. Library research was done and explanatory method was adopted for this study. The finding of the research shows that knowledge of experts is not semantically different, but rather that information is more connected between each other. The conducted experiments demonstrated that the size of the words and retrieval speed of words from memory varies between people with different background knowledge. The findings of our study could also help to give better, personalized instructions to the users in different fields, and help with the construction of a more interactive dialog between the user and an intelligent tutoring system.

The objective of this research is to analyse the benefit of adaptation Malaysia Tamil novel into the film. For this study, ascertain the modifications made when certain works are converted into other media, and to investigate how fair the literary values are adapted. In discussing adaptations, despite efforts to develop the Tamil film industry in Malaysia, no progress has been made in like the West and India. Also, film adaptations have not yet been used as literary sources in Tamil films in Malaysia. However, the Malaysian Malay film industry is adapting Malay novels to film, following in the footsteps of Western countries. However, there is no beginning to the development of the phenomenon of local Tamil novel adaptations in Malaysian Tamil films. The purpose of this idea is to find the attention of the reader or audience about the novels in the written form of the script by the technical development like film. Finally, this study also indicates that literature and film are two different art mediums, and at the same time have some similarities. They are no doubt that with a proper adaptation process, a good novel can be adapted into an excellent quality film. Hopefully, this would enhance the progress of high appreciation of serious literature and quality film among readers and viewers in Malaysia.

Published: April 2022

Background: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free Thyroxin (FT4) concentration are currently highlighted in their relation to thyroid carcinoma development in thyroid nodule patients. This study aimed to identify the difference in the pre-operative mean serum concentration of TSH and FT4 in patients with benign thyroid nodules and thyroid carcinoma at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar.Methods: : This study was a case-control study that involved 110 patients with thyroid nodules who underwent thyroidectomy at Sanglah General Hospital from January until December 2019, whose specimens were examined histopathologically at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Sanglah General Hospital. Cases were patients with thyroid carcinoma. Controls were patients with benign thyroid nodules. The data were collected from medical records. Results: Most subjects in the thyroid carcinoma group were female (72.7%). The thyroid carcinoma group had a higher mean age at the time of thyroidectomy (47.33 ± 13.4) compared to the benign thyroid nodule group (46.07 ± 12.5) (p = 0.61). Significant difference was found regarding the nodule size between the two groups (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in terms of nodule lateralization (p = 0.56) and the number of nodules (p = 0.58). Papillary thyroid carcinoma was the most common type of thyroid carcinoma (89.1%). A significantly higher pre-operative mean serum TSH concentration was found in cases (1.0 ± 0.23 IU/mL) compared to controls (0.8 ± 0.23 IU/mL) (p < 0.001). The pre-operative mean serum FT4 concentration was significantly lower in cases (1.1 ± 0.25 IU/mL) compared to controls (1.2 ± 0.22 IU/mL) (p = 0.006). The optimal TSH and FT4 cut-off values for thyroid carcinoma were > 1.0 IU/mL (61% sensitivity, 71% specificity) and < 1.1 IU/mL (61% sensitivity, 51% specificity), respectively Conclusions: : Higher pre-operative mean TSH concentration and lower mean FT4 concentration were found in patients with thyroid carcinoma. There were statistically significant differences between patients with thyroid carcinoma and benign thyroid nodules in terms of these two laboratory parameters.

Background: Penile cancer is a rare and aggressive disease. The incidence in India, Africa, and South America ranges from 2.3 to 8.3 per 100,000. No data regarding incidence rates in Indonesia. The etiological factors include poor genital hygiene, phimosis, tobacco use, multiple sex partners, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and chronic inflammatory states. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents 95% of penile cancers. Progression and treatment of the disease cause devastating consequences and morbidity such as disfiguring penile amputation. This study aimed to assess the epidemiological characteristics of penile cancer in the city of Bandung, its associated risk factors, clinical manifestations, and compare the results with previous studies. Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung from January 2010 to 2019. The study included all penile cancer patients that came to Urology Department. Variables such as age, history of circumcision, phimosis, HPV infection, marital status, smoking habit, educational level, age of onset, operation, histopathological results, history of multiple sex partners, location of the tumor, comorbidities, and staging are collected from the medical record and analyzed. Results: A total of 13 penile cancer patients were involved with the age range from 28 to 67 years and 50.69 years on average. Most of them were smokers (69.2%) and uncircumcised (53.8%). All of the patients came at an advanced stage, and penectomy was done. Histopathologically, 84.6% were SCC. One of our patients was consulted by a haemato-oncologist for adjuvant chemotherapy (6 cycles of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil). Conclusions: Penile cancer is a rare neoplasm in Bandung, West Java.

Infections during pregnancy are frequent and can cause severe complications, affecting the maternal-fetal binomial. Prenatal care is a classic example of prevention. A cross-sectional study was conducted with pregnant women to analyze the results of the nontreponemal test for syphilis and serologies for HIV 1/2, toxoplasmosis (IgM and IgG), hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The prevalences found were 4.9% (20/408), 0.24% (1/408), 20.83% (85/408), 0.49% (2/408), respectively for syphilis, HIV ½, toxoplasmosis (IgG) and HBV. No case of infection by the hepatitis C virus and acute toxoplasmosis (IgM) has been identified. It was possible to observe a high prevalence of syphilis, while the remaining infections had low prevalence. Screening for these infections is extremely important for the early diagnosis and treatment of pregnant women, avoiding maternal-fetal transmission and enabling better strategic planning for the prevention and early treatment of pregnant women.

A procura crescente de matérias-primas é motivada pelo crescimento das economias em desenvolvimento e das economias emergentes e representam todo o conjunto de produtos necessários e intrínsecos aos mais variados processos de produção, extraídos ou obtidos diretamente da Natureza. Estes materiais primários, que constituem a primeira fase numa cadeia processual de transformações imprescindíveis até à obtenção de um produto final, são essências basilares em crescente procura tendo em vista o aparecimento de economias em desenvolvimento e de tecnologias emergentes. Neste estudo é apresentado o contexto em que a atual procura desmedida destas matérias, tem levado à sua exaustão natural. Este panorama associado às dificuldades causadas nas limitações dos circuitos comerciais provocados pela Pandemia de Covid 19 reflete-se de uma forma devastadora nas indústrias transformadoras, afetando diretamente a economia. É, simultaneamente, feita uma reflexão sobre a importância dos resíduos orgânicos e não orgânicos que todos descartamos diariamente e onde se encontram os mais variados materiais que são muitas vezes 100% reutilizáveis. Perante este problema, encontram-se as limitações e dificuldades na criação de substâncias que substituem as matérias-primas, pelo que a solução deverá passar pela reciclagem e reutilização das mesmas.

Compreender a concorrência e mensurar o seu comportamento são ações que podem contribuir para a tomada de decisão nas organizações. A construção de indicadores a partir de dados abertos e de fácil compreensão permite o entendimento da realidade do mercado e a tomada de decisão mais assertiva. Dessa forma, o presente artigo objetiva apresentar uma proposta de indicador que possibilita a determinação do nível de saturação de mercado. Utiliza-se como procedimento metodológico a pesquisa-ação com suporte bibliográfico e documental. O indicador foi aplicado de maneira experimental nos 155 municípios que compõem a região do Sul de Minas Gerais, com recortes específicos para o município de Varginha. Os resultados demonstraram que o indicador aqui proposto permite apresentar os setores mais e menos saturados em uma determinada localidade. Evidenciou-se também que os cálculos e análises podem ocorrer em termos gerais por cidade e por região, bem como em termos mais específicos por setores e entre empresas (business to business).

O presente trabalho avaliou o potencial biotecnológico do fungo Penicillium sclerotiorum UCP 1040, isolado do solo do Estado de Pernambuco, para a produção de biossurfactante utilizando resíduos agroindustriais como fontes alternativas de carbono e nitrogênio. As fermentações foram conduzidas durante 144 h, 28ºC e 150 rpm, em meios constituídos por diferentes concentrações de óleo pós-fritura (OPF) e milhocina, de acordo com um planejamento fatorial 22. Os efeitos dos substratos na produção do tensoativo foram avaliados através de análise estatística, utilizando a tensão superficial como variável resposta. As propriedades emulsificantes e dispersantes do biossurfactante foram investigadas pelo índice de emulsificação (IE24) e o teste de dispersão, respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos demostraram que P. sclerotiorum foi capaz de produzir um composto tensoativo na presença dos substratos renováveis, verificando-se a maior redução da tensão superficial (de 72,0 a 42,77 mN/m), na condição 2 do planejamento (meio constituído por 3% de OPF e 5% de milhocina). Embora o biossurfactante produzido nesta condição não tenha mostrado boas propriedades emulsificantes, apresentou excelentes propriedades dispersantes, com área de dispersão de óleo (ADO) de 44,18 cm2. O diagrama de Pareto comprovou a influência significativa da interação dos resíduos na produção do biossurfactante, constituindo substratos alternativos e de baixo custo, que tornam o bioprocesso econômico e, portanto, atraente para as diversas indústrias.

A interpretação e análise de características morfométricas de uma bacia hidrográfica são importantes para o seu planejamento. Assim, buscou-se neste artigo a caracterização morfométrica da Sub-Bacia do Ribeirão do Peixe, localizada no município de Itabira (MG). Para isso, foi utilizado o software QGis para a obtenção de variáveis como área, perímetro e comprimento do talvegue principal, que, por sua vez, possibilitaram a determinação de parâmetros como índices de forma e circularidade que remetem a propensão ou não da bacia à ocorrência de inundações. Apesar de ser verificada uma baixa propensão morfométrica da Sub-Bacia Ribeirão do Peixe a esses eventos, ressalta-se a importância da recuperação de áreas degradadas para manutenção do ciclo hidrológico.
