Published: January 2024

Background and purpose: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) are used in the management of osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. We aimed to determine whether TSA or HA resulted in a lower risk of adverse outcomes in patients of all ages with osteoarthritis and an intact rotator cuff and in a subgroup of patients aged 60 years or younger.Patients and methods: Shoulder arthroplasties recorded in the National Joint Registry, UK, between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2021, were linked to Hospital Episode Statistics in England. Elective TSAs and HAs were matched on propensity scores based on 11 variables. The primary outcome was all-cause revision. Secondary outcomes were combined revision/non-revision reoperations, 30-day inpatient complications, 1-year mortality, and length of stay. 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported.Results: 11,556 shoulder arthroplasties were included: 7,641 TSAs, 3,915 HAs. At 8 years 95% (CI 94–96) of TSAs and 91% (CI 90–92) of HAs remained unrevised. The hazard ratio (HR) varied across follow-up: 4-year HR 2.7 (CI 1.9–3.5), 8-year HR 2.0 (CI 0.5–3.5). Rotator cuff insufficiency was the most common revision indication. In patients aged 60 years or younger prosthesis survival at 8 years was 92% (CI 89–94) following TSA and 84% (CI 80–87) following HA.Conclusion: The risk of revision was higher following HA in patients with osteoarthritis and an intact rotator cuff. Patients aged 60 years and younger had a higher risk of revision following HA.
Adopting Lewin’s Force Field Analysis as Sustainable Tool to Reduce over Maize Dependence in Malawi
Authors: BP Kampanje
Published: January 2024

This study has found out that Malawi is currently entrenched in maize consumption while disregarding other healthier and cheaper food alternatives such as orange sweet potatoes, cassava and irish potatoes. This is leaving more Malawians malnourished while the country is suffering from massive forex drainage inhibiting the country from importing essential drugs and petroleum products. Continued over reliance on maize is therefore both an economic challenge and health hazard. Changing the current status quo however requires substantial commitment and Lewin’s Force Field Analysis was adopted to provide a platform to look at ways of redressing the current situation. There is a possibility of changing the current scenario through deliberate approaches in the school feeding programme.
Functional and Nutraceutical Based Applications of Phytochemicals from Major Cereal Grains
Authors: Bhat Farhan Mohiuddin
Published: January 2024

Cereals are the staple food item of Indian dietary and are good sources of calories, protein, micronutrients, dietary fiber and resistant starch, coupled with low glycemic index. Due to all these properties they play a vital role in managing all the metabolic diseases. Whole grain cereals are associated with several health benefits than their processed or refined fractions. Cereals are rich sources of bioactive compounds, polyunsaturated fats like omega-3, linolenic acid, soluble and insoluble fibre, and resistant starches. The presence of phytochemicals in cereals such as phenolic acids, flavones, anthocyanins, lignans, and phytosterols makes them ideal for the formulation of functional foods and nutraceuticals due to their antioxidative, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic activities. Millets are three to five times nutritionally superior in comparison to widely promoted rice and wheat in terms of macro as well micro nutrients and are considered to be the least allergenic crops and are rich sources of proteins, calcium, phosphorus, iron. A cereal based formulation forms an important part of folk medicine since prehistoric times in China and India due to their nutritive and pharmalogical value and are used in Ayurvedic and Unani system of medicines for treatment of various ailments. Barley acts as a functional food due to its content of so many healthpromoting components that have shown positive health effect such as β- glucan. The beta-glucans have been approved in many countries as health benefitting soluble fiber due to its role in lowering postprandial blood glucose and the risk of cardiovascular diseases by reducing LDL cholesterol content. The bioactive compounds with widely variations in their chemical structures, properties and functions are often produced in small quantities either as primary metabolites or secondary metabolites such as terpenoids, polyphenols, vitamins, and alkaloid. These compounds are used for the formulation and fortification of functional foods and pharmaceuticals.
Effect of pH on Foaming Properties (FC and FS) of Protein Isolates from Two Varieties (DAS & BS) of Nigerian Cultivated Solojo Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L. Walp)
Authors: HO Chibudike
Published: January 2024

Effect of pH on the foaming properties (FC and FS) of protein isolates from two Varieties (DAS & BS) of Nigerian cultivated Solojo cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L. Walp) was investigated. Results show that the foaming capacity (FC) followed the solubility trend, with a high foaming capacity at pH 2, which slowly reduced between pH 4 - 6 and gradual increase again with pH as the pH approached 10, where it had another high value. As shown in Figures 1-6 noticeable changes in FC were detected as the pH of the protein solution progressed from pH 2 to 10, with minimum foaming capacity at pH 4 in all cases except for DFDAS flour and BS protein isolate (pH 6). The foaming capacity value for 6 h soaked and 48 hr germinated flours, at pH 4 were observed to be greater than at pH 2 and 6. While the maximum was observed in some cases at pH 8 and some pH 10 but FFDAS Raw, 36 and 48 hr; FFBS, 6 hr; DFBS, Raw and 72 hr; BS, 6 and 24 hr germinated, all had their own max values at pH 2. Defatting was also observed to improve the foaming capacity values of all the treatment. The foaming capacity ranged between 15.19 to 121.16%; 44.76 to 127.36%; 31.23 to 110.93%; 30.84 to 121.16%; 64.97 to 210.00%; 62.67 to 222.00% for FFDAS, DFDAS, FFBS, DFBS, DAS, and BS, respectively. The pattern of FC change followed the pH dependent solubility flow of the test material, showing the importance of solubility on foam formation which confirms that solubility of protein has a great influence on the activities of foam also increasing the pH from 4 to 10 improved the foaming characteristics of flour. This observation proved the authenticity that foaming property depends on protein solubility. The foaming capacity of cowpea protein isolates was pH dependent and high at alkaline pH in comparison to acid region.

Interactions of Antibacterial Antibiotics with Magnesium and Zinc
Authors: Nechifor Mihai , Luca Catalina Mihaiela , Gales Cristina
Published: January 2024

The action of antibacterial antibiotics on bacteria but also on the cells of the human body is dependent on many factors. An important place is the interactions with magnesium and zinc. The aim of this narrative review is to highlight the complexity of interactions between these two cations and some antibacterial antibiotics. The review presents pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic interactions and the influence of magnesium and zinc on some adverse effects of antibiotics. The influences of some antibiotics on plasma concentrations of magnesium and zinc are also discussed. The interactions take place before the contact of the antibiotic with the pathogenic bacteria, during the action on bacteria but also after this action. Some adverse effects of antibiotics are produced by their direct action on human cells and plasma and tissue concentrations of magnesium and zinc are important for reducing these effects. These two biometals play multiple and complex roles in the human body. Some antibiotics such as aminoglycosides and polymyxins greatly increase the renal excretion of magnesium and significantly decrease the plasma concentration of this cation. Zinc increases the bacterial sensitivity to the action of beta-lactams. The polymerization of vancomycin dimers increases the antibacterial activity and it is dependent of zinc. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have a significant antibiofilm action. On the other hand, magnesium and zinc salts greatly reduce the digestive absorption of many antibiotics and decrease their bioavailability. Regarding adverse effects, there are situations were magnesium and zinc can reduce some of these effects. A low magnesium level aggravates the cartilage damage produced by quinolones. This cation reduces nephrotoxicity of Aminoglycosides and vancomycin and hepatotoxicity of some antituberculosis drugs. Determination of zinc and magnesium concentration is strictly necessary for patients receiving antibiotics and in the case of abnormal levels, correction must be made immediately.

Ilmar Talve, Emigré Ethnologist from Estonia
Authors: Metslaid Marleen
Published: January 2024

The article focuses on Ilmar Talve (1919–2007) and his exile in Sweden, 1945–1959. The complex nature of an émigré position in a scholarly field is analysed from several angles. I explore how Talve adapted to the Swedish academic field while he was working at the Institute of Folklife Research, led by Sigurd Erixon. I am also interested in how his understanding of ethnology evolved in Esonia as a student of the WWII era and in Sweden after the war. Talve’s efforts to pursue and develop Estonian ethnology while in exile are then examined in more detail. On the one hand, it shows the influence of the contemporary national discourse on research. In some sense, it was an unrewarding dead end, but even as such, it describes the political and societal conditionality of pursuing science at the time. On the other hand, it raises the question of the influence of Erixon’s theoretical views on Talve, and therefore, on Finnish ethnology. Talve implemented his plans in Finland as a professor at the University of Turku. The article also explores the important role played by Finnish scholars for both exile ethnologists in Sweden and Estonian ethnographers in the Soviet Union, and it reflects on Talve’s place in this relationship.

Published: January 2024

Initially, the people of Dusun Raja village in North Bengkulu mostly worked as rubber farmers. From the rubber income, the community experienced economic difficulties. This was due to the low price of rubber which caused the community's needs to be unmet. However, after the existence of this oil palm plantation there were many changes in the condition of the village, because the price of oil palm was higher than rubber. The purpose of the study was to determine the role of oil palm plantations in improving the economy of the village community of Dusun Raja as measured by the factors of employment, income, education, food and shelter needs and improvement of infrastructure and village facilities. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through interviews and observation methods. The number of informants was 4 people consisting of 2 oil palm farmers, 1 village official, 1 oil palm farm laborer. The results of this study indicate that the existence of oil palm plantations has a role in improving the economy of the village community. With the existence of oil palm plantations can provide opportunities, create jobs, increase income, and increase public awareness of the meaning of education and increase village facilities and infrastructure. So that currently the plantation sector is an option to change the family economy, because the interest in the development of oil palm plantations is still high, so the government has an important role in improving the economy of the community around the village of Dusun Raja North Bengkulu.

Characteristics of turboexpander unit used to prepare natural gas for transportation
Authors: Chizhov V. V. , Lazarev L. Ya. , Chernykh A. P. , Mikhaylov S. P.
Published: January 2024

Before being supplied to the transportation pipeline, natural gas must be cleaned from various impurities, with the specified parameters at the inlet to the transportation system — such as composition, mass or volumetric flow rate, pressure, and temperature — to be ensured. To this effect, a gas preparation system is designed, which includes various heat exchange units, cleaning and separation devices, as well as a turboexpander unit (TEU) consisting of a turbine and a coupled compressor.

During the operation of this system, the gas parameters are constantly changing due to variations in external and operating conditions, such as the parameters of the ambient air, the gas pressure and flow rate at the wellhead, the composition and the amount of impurities.

The gas preparation system therefore almost never operates in the designed conditions, which means that its proper operation requires the knowledge of its characteristics, i.e., the dependencies of the system parameters on external and operational conditions. Besides, the knowledge of the characteristics enables to control the system by affecting its various parameters.

The characteristics of the gas preparation system are determined by the characteristics of all of its elements, including the characteristics of the TEU as one of its most important elements.

The characteristics of the TEU enable to assess the impact of external conditions on its operating conditions and thus optimize the system's operation during its design stage. They also allow the determination of the parameters for regulating the TEU conditions.

A methodology for calculating the TEU characteristics is proposed, an example of the calculation is provided, and analysis of the obtained results is presented.
Traditional ecological knowledge and natural resource management: Some examples from Bangladesh
Authors: Alam Khairul
Published: January 2024

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) refers to the knowledge, innovations, and practices of indigenous and local communities around the world. As it includes proven technologies for particular situations, its adoption cuts research costs and time. This paper attempts to find out the scoping of some TEKs on different practices ranging from plain land agriculture, hill farming, agro-biodiversity management, open water fish conservation, disaster management, and other aspects in different situations in Bangladesh. It is an outcome of the authors’ field experiences in the study of local flora, plant uses, and natural resource management practices in the community and a review of related literature. Access to modern facilities, urbanization, and land use changes are now causing many threats to TEK. Documentation and codification of this knowledge and its uses for sustainable development are needed for the betterment of local farmers as well as the preservation of cultural heritage. The knowledge is always changing to cope with socio-cultural needs. So, a fusion of TEK and modern scientific knowledge can help solve the problems encountered in the sustainable management of natural resources. It also needs to be incorporated into school curricula and mainstreamed in the local-level natural resource management planning process. The best practices can also be adopted in natural resource management.

This survey of 502 U.S. residents explored how people practiced wearing facemasks and maintaining social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Health Benefit Model (HBM), the study found that perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived self-efficacy, perceived benefit, and perceived barrier were significant predictors of wearing facemasks while perceived severity, perceived self-Efficacy, and perceived benefit were significant predictors for maintaining social distancing. While women and people with higher education and higher income were more likely to wear facemasks than others, people of 40 years of age and above and those with higher income tended to maintain social distancing more than others. Participants did not have COVID-19 were more likely to wear facemask and maintain social distancing than those who already had the disease.

This paper explores the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of the MBI-SS questionnaire, which measures academic burnout in students. The factorial structure of the tool was examined, and its validity was evaluated using a sample from Polish state universities (N=935). Findings suggest that the MBI-SS possesses strong psychometric parameters. Data supports the tool's 3-factor structure and internal consistency. However, there are reservations regarding one item (MBI_6). Consequently, the 15- item version of the MBI-SS is recommended as a suitable tool for assessing burnout in Polish students.
Perception of events management students in relation to environmental sustainability: case study in Portugal
Authors: Severino Filipe Segurado
Published: January 2024

Tourist-oriented events have relevant impacts on the dimension of environmental sustainability. Without proper planning, those impacts could manifest as harm to the surrounding environment. An effective measure for dealing with these impacts is the appropriate education of event managers. By shaping visitors’ perceptions as they are formed, it is possible for such events to transmit values and knowledge about environmental concerns, leading to future action and the creation of sustainable events that can make a difference.

This research examined event management students’ perceptions of environmental sustainability, their most important values, and whether they incorporated them into their event-organisation practices. With the development of a theoretical framework, an empirical investigation was implemented through a qualitative analysis based on interviews with nine groups of Portuguese students who were in their final academic year. Direct observations were also conducted at six events.

The results revealed a positive correlation between environmental concerns and the academic training of these future event managers. Crucially, behaviours that students exhibit and their beneficial effects lead to their effectiveness in practice, which may be reflected in their future work activity.
Symbolic policy in small towns of Zamojszczyzna region, Poland, in the post-socialist period
Authors: Falski Maciej
Published: January 2024

Small cities have attracted less attention from researchers of transformation processes, although in some countries they are an important part of the social landscape, as they are in Poland. I present the results of research on the public space and symbolic politics in three small towns in Zamojszczyzna, a region in southeastern Poland. All are characterized by interrupted or disturbed historical continuity due to the extermination of their Jewish communities, which made up the majority of the population until World War II. After 1945, the Jewish past was silenced, while the symbolic space was dominated by the memory of the resistance movement. I show in my text that since the 1990s there have been significant transformations in the aforementioned towns. In some of them, firstly, interest in Jewish heritage and efforts to preserve it are becoming more apparent. Second, there is a noticeable shift from commemorating anti-fascism to promoting the so-called struggle against communism, a reflection of the current politics of remembrance at the central level. I argue that the use of cultural heritage in small towns serves largely to gain recognition. Local authorities often use not only elements of the past that fit into national narratives, but also local traditions or even fictional literary heroes, for this purpose.
Satire and subversion in Medieval allegories: “Reynard the Fox” and the Maqamat al-Hamadhani
Authors: Almujalli Hussam
Published: January 2024

“Reynard the Fox” and theMaqamat al-Hamadhanidemonstrate the emergence of satire and subversion as important themes in medieval allegories. The authors of both texts utilized the trickster-protagonist to portray dualism in society—especially right versus wrong. In both stories, the trickster figures have two roles: as protagonists and as villains. Both medieval allegories criticize the hypocrisy of their societies, in which mediocrity was praised and excellence was ignored. “Reynard the Fox” and theMaqamat al-Hamadhaniare forms of constructive social criticism that readers desperately need today. An analysis of “Reynard the Fox” and theMaqamat al-Hamadhanicontributes to a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural contexts in which these works emerged, as well as of the literary techniques employed to convey their satirical messages. Hopefully, this article will enrich the study of medieval literature by providing valuable insights into the role of satire and subversion in allegorical narratives.

LED lights of various colors for comprehending the photoelectric effects phenomena
Authors: Prayogi Soni , Silviana Fitria
Published: January 2024

In this project, a tool that can explain phenomena involving the photoelectric effect at laboratory scales is being developed. The purpose of this tool is to help users understand that the photoelectric effect, which causes electrons to move from a source of a negative voltage to a source of positive voltage, is not affected by light intensity but rather by a light source's frequency and wavelength. A photodiode is employed in the creation of this device as a light sensor, and when exposed to light, it moves electrons from the cathode to the anode, causing an electric current to flow. The voltage is delivered to the cathode, which is where the electrons leave, to calculate the stopping voltage. A graph showing the connection between the ADC value and the sensor output voltage is produced from the ongoing data gathering. Our results show that each color spectrum has a distinct voltage supplied to the photodiode leg (cathode). Additionally, the output voltage measured for each distinct wavelength was decreased the lower the photodiode's light intensity was.
