The rabbit farming business has great potential to meet the need for animal protein, and currently, many rabbit farming businesses are being cultivated. Farmers face nonoptimal reproductive performance with the currently implemented mating management, so improvement efforts are needed. The community service aimed to implement good breeding practices through communal mating and introducing bucks Rex rabbits to rabbit breeders in Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta. The community service activities were conducted from June to September 2023 at one of the rabbit breeders in Kulonprogo Regency, Yogyakarta. The activities include: 1. initial preparation and coordination, 2. preparation of extension materials, guidebooks (assistance media), 3. Direct training through extension. 4. Implement communal mating, introduce Bucks Rex directly at partner locations, and distribute guidebooks. 5. Monitoring and evaluation of activity results. The enthusiasm of breeders in community service was proven by the presence of 30 breeders in extension and discussion activities with the theme "Kopi Darat Peternak Kelinci Komersial." The results of the application of the communal mating method show farmer satisfaction, with 4 out of 5 rabbits becoming pregnant from the application of this method. Increasing the reproductive performance of the breeder's doe can increase rabbit production, thereby contributing to the breeder's income. Implementing good breeding practices through communal mating and the introduction of bucks Rex rabbits can be a solution for breeders regarding the low productivity of the rabbits.

The Difference in Parental Financial Socialisation Across Parental Income Level
Authors:   Department of Finance, Risk Management and Banking, University of South Africa, South Africa, Ndou Adam
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The effect of parental income on parental financial socialisation is increasingly becoming important. The objective of this study was to determine the difference in parental financial socialisation across parental income levels. This study was guided by financial socialisation theory which is not only about learning financial skills, attitudes, standards, norms, and behaviours from childhood through adolescence, but is more concerned about what the socialisation process contributes to the overall financial well-being of individuals. Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative research approach was adopted for this study. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data among 500 young adults in South Africa. Descriptive statistics, Levene’s test, Welch robust test, Tukey HSD test and ANOVA were used to analysed data. Four hypotheses were tested. Parental financial socialisation was measured through parental financial behaviour, parental financial monitoring, parental financial discussions, and parental financial communication. Findings: The results showed that there was a significant difference in Parental financial behaviour, parental financial monitoring, parental financial discussions, and parental financial communication across Parental income. Therefore, the overall results indicated that there was a significant difference in Parental financial socialisation across Parental income. Research limitations/implications: Due to the low levels of general literacy among the respondents, which negatively affected data collection; some young adults did not understand the questionnaire and withdrew from participating in the study. Furthermore, even though confidentiality and anonymity were guaranteed, respondents were reluctant to participate in the study. They feared exposing their financial position and displayed a lack of trust. Originality/value: The current study contributed to the body of knowledge differently to the previous studies because it focused on parental financial socialisation of young black African adults in rural and low-income area This study is the first to investigate the difference in parental financial socialisation across parental income levels. This makes this study so important and warrant that it should be carried out to provide the much-needed results that could help to improve parental financial socialisation across all income levels.
Analysis of the Volatility of Wind Energy Production in Romania Applying the EGARCH Model
Authors:   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Faculty of International Business and Economics, Bucharest, Romania, Murărașu Ioan-Cătălin
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The objective of the paper is to highlight the volatility of wind energy production, the renewable source of energy whose output is the most difficult to predict due to its dependence on climatic factors. The present research helps to analyze the risks assumed both by the producers who choose to invest in wind farms and the operator who has to balance the national energy system in case of production fluctuations. Many times, these risks are taken over, without their knowledge, by the final consumers who have to pay higher prices for the energy consumed. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, the EGARCH model was applied with the help of EVIEWS 12 software on a data series updated at least every 10 hours (1405 entries) regarding the evolution of wind energy production from January 2021 to January 2023. As a rule, the EGARCH model is used to analyse the volatility of indices in the financial field, but the present study, as well as others before, showed that it also fits perfectly in the case of renewable energy, the statistical tests applied to the results proving this fact. Findings: The results of the study show a GARCH term of 0.936, which points out a volatility comparable to some of the riskiest international stock indices. Research limitations/implications: This volatility is reflected through increases in balancing costs, ultimately borne by the energy consumers on the national market. Against this background, it is necessary to increase the stability of the national energy system, so that the balancing process would be less expensive and less dependent on imports. The solutions are varied - from the creation of stable non-polluting production capacities, such as the nuclear ones, to the thorough analysis of the characteristics of the areas where production systems from renewable sources are installed. It must be mentioned that the main limitation of this study is the long period considered, because the accuracy of the results could be better if the model was applied several times for data from consecutive, shorter periods. Originality/value: This study contributes to the theoretical identification of methods to forecast the volatility of renewable energy production and to highlight the vulnerabilities of increasing the share of this energy in the European energy mix. It tests the use of heteroscedastic models to estimate the volatility of the wind power supplied to the system, unlike most studies in the literature, which analyze the volatility of the energy market price. In addition, it proposes some solutions that could reduce or control this instability and ensure the regional energy security.
Microstructure-Sensitive Deformation Modeling and Materials Design with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Published: March 2024

Microstructure-sensitive materials design has become popular among materials engineering researchers in the last decade because it allows the control of material performance through the design of microstructures. In this study, the microstructure is defined by an orientation distribution function. A physics-informed machine learning approach is integrated into microstructure design to improve the accuracy, computational efficiency, and explainability of microstructure-sensitive design. When data generation is costly and numerical models need to follow certain physical laws, machine learning models that are domain-aware perform more efficiently than conventional machine learning models. Therefore, a new paradigm called the physics-informed neural network (PINN) is introduced in the literature. This study applies the PINN to microstructure-sensitive modeling and inverse design to explore the material behavior under deformation processing. In particular, we demonstrate the application of PINN to small-data problems driven by a crystal plasticity model that needs to satisfy the physics-based design constraints of the microstructural orientation space. For the first problem, we predict the microstructural texture evolution of copper during a tensile deformation process as a function of initial texturing and strain rate. The second problem aims to calibrate the crystal plasticity parameters of the Ti-7Al alloy by solving an inverse design problem to match the PINN-predicted final texture prediction and the experimental data.

Introdução: O cuidador exerce grande influência no bem-estar do idoso. Quando ele não consegue manter sua qualidade de vida, não poderá oferecer um atendimento adequado. Este relato se refere à vivência durante o projeto de extensão “Cuidar de quem cuida”, direcionado aos cuidadores de idosos e promovido por graduandos em enfermagem da Faculdade Adventista da Bahia, por meio de plataformas digitais no período de 26 a 30 de abril de 2021. Objetivo: relatar a experiência de graduandos em enfermagem em um projeto de educação em saúde destinado à cuidados de idosos no período da pandemia do SARS-CoV-2. Metodologia: O projeto de extensão foi realizado por meio de vídeos animados no estilo “mão desenhando”, utilizando o programa VídeoScribe. Cada vídeo contava com uma narração e a ilustração da informação através dos desenhos animados. Ao final, os vídeos eram publicados via plataforma YouTube e disponibilizados através de grupo de conversas no aplicativo WhatsApp. Resultados e Discussão: Uma das situações mais desafiadoras foi lidar com a falta do retorno de muitos deles. Visto ser o WhatsApp de fácil acesso por parte de todos os cuidadores, foi pensado ser essa uma das ferramentas mais bem-sucedidas para alcançar o retorno significativo, porém, teve-se uma participação menor do que a esperada. Considerações finais: Criado com o intuito de facilitar o contato entre os cuidadores, o grupo de WhatsApp evidenciou, durante as 5 semanas de intervenções, a grande necessidade de conhecimento sobre o cuidar, mesmo sendo esta uma prática realizada a bastante tempo pela maioria dos cuidadores.

Materials to the Biography of the Poet Golubchik-Gostov (L. M. Goldyonov)
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics” Nizhny Novgorod, Russian Federation, Bolshukhin Leonid Yu. , Zamyatina Oksana V.
Published: March 2024

In this article, the authors continue to restore the facts of the Lev Mikhailovich Goldyonov’s biography. He was a marginal author of the 1920s, who published in Petrograd-Leningrad under the pseudonym Golubchik-Gostov, two collections of poems “Folklorists” (1922) and “Themes” (1924). Researchers, relying on the data of the personal file of L. M. Goldyonov stored in the Central State Archive of St. Petersburg, reconstruct the events of 1922–1923. This period is very important for the poet’s biography: during this period, Goldyonov finally moved to Petrograd (receives a Petrograd residence permit), publishes the first poetry collection and, with a high degree of probability, meets his own muse – Leonida Kimstach. The chronicle of Golubchik-Gostov’s life and work is added to the article. The article is illustrated with documentary photos from Goldyonov’s personal file.

Authors: Phuyal Subash , Pokhrel Baburam , Lamsal Ritesh , Mishra Biswamohan , Nayak Manoj Kumar
Published: March 2024

Simultaneous occlusion of both middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) is very rare and usually devastating. Few case reports are available in the literature where bilateral thrombectomy was done simultaneously to remove the clot. High NIH stroke scale with a low level of consciousness can be a clue for the diagnosis. Timely intervention is necessary to decrease morbidity and mortality in these patients. We also reviewed the existing literature where mechanical thrombectomies were done for bilateral MCA stroke in PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Embase. Herein, we report a case of 47-year-old female having rheumatic heart disease presented with simultaneous bilateral MCAs occlusion, treated with mechanical thrombectomies successfully.

In this study, we investigated for the first time the effects of a standardized extract from Ginkgo biloba leaves formulated with phospholipids Ginkgoselect™ Phytosome™, GBP) in combination with Standard Management (SM) in mild-moderate Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), focusing on the modulation of subject’s cognitive ability and oxidative status. Participants with cognitive impairment freely decided to continue their SM protocol (donepezil 10 mg/day, rivastigmine 4.6 mg/day in patch and memantine 20 mg/day; n=37), or to receive GBP tablets 120 or 240 mg/day in combination with SM (n=43). Subjects were assessed at baseline and after 6 months for cognitive functions and exclusive mental abilities through specific neuropsychological tests, namely the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). We also evaluated the oxidative status through the determination of plasmatic derived reactive oxygen metabolites and anti-oxidant reserve through Plasma Antioxidant Test. After 6 months of supplementation with GBP to SM, subjects reported a significantly higher improvement in cognitive and neuropsychological functions, compared to those receiving only SM. Moreover, participants in the GBP with SM group reported a more remarkable decrease in oxidative load and an increase in the concentration of antioxidant molecules compared to the control group. Supplementation with GBP to SM demonstrates a positive effect in subjects with AD, helping them maintain or even increase their cognitive abilities, and improving their oxidative status both by reducing oxidative damage and by increasing the antioxidant reserve.

Background & Objectives: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and age have been identified as the major risk factors for several neurodegenerative disorders. Among the three major isoforms (ApoE2, ApoE3 & ApoE4) of APOE, ApoE4 often shows ethnicity dependent association with neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, we aim to determine the e4 allele/genotype frequency among the different neurodegenerative disorders and their correlation with several demographic and clinical parameters from eastern India. Methods: A total of 826 individuals were recruited for this study which includes 128 PD-MCI, 144 PDD, 90 DLB, 114 FTD, 94 AD and 256 unrelated neurologically controls from eastern India. Subjects were analysed for APOE genotype (E2, E3 and E4) by PCR-RFLP techniques and Sanger sequencing. Results: The APOE4 allele was significantly associated with each of the disease subtypes, selected for the study (P=0.016 to 0.000), while e3 allele was predominant among controls. Further stratification of subjects identified significant overrepresentation of (a) positive family history for FTD (P=0.0414) & AD (P=0.029) and (b) early age at onset of for PDD (P=0.0316) and FTD (P=0.0034) among the e4 allele carriers. Furthermore, lowering of BMSE score was also observed among the e4 allele carriers of AD subjects (P=0.0324). Conclusion: There is a significant association of APOE4 allele with different neurodegenerative diseases influencing lowering of age at onset, BMSE score and positive family history among ethnic Bengali population of eastern India.

Diabetes is a common disease characterized by high blood glucose level, combined with metabolic disorder of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and other substances. The relationship between the human gut microbes and diabetes is still not clear. Human intestinal tracts harbor trillions of microbes that maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the host. Gut microbiota not only helps the host to digest certain food, but also produces a large number of biologically active signaling molecules involved in immune regulation, anti-tumor, anti-aging regulation, which are also related to the pathogenesis of diabetes. These molecules can be used as targets for prediction, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. Metabolomics, as a rising technology to study the changes of metabolites in human body quantitatively, can be a helpful tool for researchers in this area. This article reviews recent progresses about mechanism and emerging interventions of diabetes mellitus from the perspective of metabolism of gut microbiota.
Assessment of Risk and Processing Effects on Banned Pesticide Residue Levels in Nigerian Staple Foods
Authors: Olajide Joseph Eniola , Apeh Daniel Ojochenemi , Enwuchola Keleojo Anthony
Published: March 2024

The use of pesticides has overwhelming advantage to food security but not so much to the environmentalists and toxicologists. Governments of nations or regions have over the years restricted or banned the use of certain pesticides. This work examined the incidence, dietary exposure and risk characterization of some Nigerian-banned organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides in rice, cassava, maize and beans marketed in Kogi state, Nigeria. The extraction of pesticide residues was performed using the Quick, Effective, Cheap, Easy, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) technique, and gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used for quantification of the pesticide residues in the samples. The residues detected in order of decreasing incidence were methoxychlor, α-chlordane, γ-chlordane, endosulfan II, dieldrin, aldrin, p,p'-DDE, Δ-BHC (hexachlorobenzene), endrin aldehyde, p,p'-DDD, lindane, p,p'-DDT, and endosulfan sulfate. No assayed organophosphate residue was detected. Methoxychlor and α-chlordane had the highest incidences of 46.88% and 31.25% respectively, while lindane, p,p'-DDT and endosulfan sulfate had the lowest incidence (3.13% in each case). The processing steps applied including cold water washing, warm water washing, soaking and fermentation had various effects on the level of residues ranging from -149% to 100% reduction in level of pesticide, and are recommended. Risk characterization by percentage tolerable daily intake estimation showed that aldrin and dieldrin were detected at concentrations that far exceeds the safety threshold, the hazard index also revealed that Δ-BHC (hexachlorobenzene), lindane, aldrin, dieldrin and methoxychlor were present in staples at levels with potentials to induce chronic toxicity. None detection, low incidence, low concentrations and low hazard index and risk posed by most pesticides in this study is indicative that the ban on these pesticides has been impactful in reducing their use within Nigeria and consequently in averting health challenges associated with their use. Finding them at any level should alert the regulatory agencies to further strategize towards risk mitigation and elimination.
Solvent effects in hyperpolarization of 15N nuclei in [15N3]metronidazole and [15N3]nimorazole antibiotics via SABRE-SHEATH

Published: March 2024

Metronidazole and nimorazole are antibiotics of a nitroimidazole group originally designed for acting on anaerobic bacteria. These antibiotics may be potentially utilized as hypoxia radiosensitizers for the treatment of cancerous tumors. Hyperpolarization of 15N nuclei in these compounds using SABRE-SHEATH (Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange in SHield Enables Alignment Transfer to Heteronuclei) approach provides dramatic enhancement of detection sensitivity of these analytes using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Methanol-d4 is conventionally employed as a solvent in SABRE hyperpolarization process. Herein, we investigate SABRE-SHEATH hyperpolarization of isotopically labeled [15N3]metronidazole and [15N3]nimorazole in nondeuterated methanol-h4 and ethanol-h6 solvents (with the latter one being more preferable for biomedical applications due to its significantly lower toxicity). Optimization of hyperpolarization parameters, such as polarization transfer magnetic field, temperature, parahydrogen flow rate and pressure, allowed us to obtain an average 15N polarization of up to ca. 7.6% for both substrates. The highest 15N polarizations were observed in methanol-d4 for [15N3]metronidazole and in ethanol-h6 for [15N3]nimorazole. At a clinically relevant magnetic field of 1.4 T the 15N nuclei of these substrates possess long characteristic hyperpolarization lifetimes (T1) in the range from ca. 1 to ca. 7 min, with the longest relaxation observed for 15NO2 sites. This study represents a major step toward SABRE in more biocompatible solvents, such as ethanol, and also paves the way for future utilization of these hyperpolarized nitroimidazoles as molecular contrast agents for MRI visualization of tumors.

Published: March 2024

Point-of-use (POU) water disinfection technologies can be adopted to provide access to safe drinking water by treating water at the household level; however, navigating various POU disinfection technologies can be difficult. While numerous conventional POU devices exist, emerging technologies using novel materials or advanced processes have been under development and claimed to be of lower cost with higher treatment capacity. However, it is unclear if these claims are substantiated and how novel technologies compare to conventional ones in terms of cost and environmental impacts when providing the same service (i.e., achieving a necessary level of disinfection for safe drinking water). This research assessed the sustainability of four different POU technologies (chlorination using sodium hypochlorite, silver nanoparticle-enabled ceramic water filter, ultraviolet mercury lamps, and ultraviolet light-emitting diodes). Leveraging open-source Python packages (QSDsan and EXPOsan), the cost and environmental impacts of these POU technologies were assessed using techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment as per capita cost (USD∙cap-1∙yr-1) and global warming potential (kg CO2 eq∙cap-1∙yr-1). Impacts of water quality parameters (e.g., turbidity, hardness) were quantified for both surface and ground water, and uncertainty and sensitivity analyses were used to identify which assumptions influence outcomes. All technologies were further evaluated across ranges of adoption time, and contextual analysis was performed to evaluate the implications of technology deployment across the world. Results of this study can potentially provide valuable insights for decision-makers, non-profit organizations, and future researchers in developing sustainable approaches for ensuring access to safe drinking water through POU technologies.

Daily life includes the use of computers as electronic devices that are common in offices, libraries, schools, and shopping malls. However, users often face problems when the computer's hard drive encounters problems. As a non-formal educational institution that offers computer courses and training, Yayasan Sentra Anugrah Mandiri also experienced problems with hard drives of various brands and capacities. The technician checks and fixes the problem manually. Three people are usually responsible for monitoring twenty computers. If there is a problem, it is then reported to the administrator responsible for organizing the repair process. In this study, a website-based expert system is proposed that uses a similar approach to overcome these problems and improve the efficiency of handling hard drive problems. Retrieve, Reuse, Revise, and Revise are the four steps in the Case Base Reasoning (CBR) method.

One way for people to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 in indoor and outdoor activities is by using body temperature detection. People who have a body temperature higher than the measurement limit are prohibited from mingling with other people because they have a high probability of being infected with the virus and can transmit it to other people. Manual checks in public places can cause officers to potentially contract the virus and can spread it to other visitors more quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic body temperature measurement system by displaying the results of the measurements on a screen and automatic door as a further prevention step, and temperature data can be stored in a database to help make the right decisions in preventing the spread of Covid-19 in that place. The implementation stages of the activities include: Data Collection, Preparation of Technology Design and Purchase of Materials, Product Manufacturing, Product Testing, Product Evaluation. An Android application for an automatic door control system using a body temperature measurement sensor can be developed into an even better tool. The development of this prototype will be developed by adding a PIR sensor and system modifications. The addition of a PIR sensor is used to increase the security of the tool to detect only human body temperature which can be recorded in order to minimize data errors. The system modifications made can be used for initial examination assessments with body temperature and also the addition of a system for measuring body weight and height to complete the assessment data.

This study addresses the challenge of managing medical records in Indonesia’s health sector, particularly focusing on the transition to electronic medical records (RME) as mandated by PMK No. 24 of 2022. The primary objective is to assess the readiness for implementing Electronic Medical Records (EMR) at the Milla Husada Clinic using the DOQ-IT (Doctor’s Office Quality-Information Technology) Approach. The research adopts a descriptive design with a quantitative approach, utilizing questionnaires to gather data from 40 clinic officers. Total sampling technique was employed for participant selection. Univariate analysis was used for data interpretation. The findings reveal a high level of readiness for RME implementation at the clinic, with a total readiness score of 117.74, placing it in range III, indicative of a very ready status. The readiness levels, in descending order of scores, were: organizational work culture (4.34), governance and leadership (4.26), IT infrastructure (4.23), and human resource readiness (3.80). Despite the overall readiness, the study identifies human resources as an area requiring further enhancement, specifically the need for specialized training in RME implementation. This research highlights the critical areas for improvement to ensure successful adoption of electronic medical records in the healthcare setting.

Gorontalo City is the largest contributor of waste in Gorontalo Province. Waste production in Gorontalo City increases to 140 tonnes per day based on data from the National Waste Management Information System. One of the things that caused the waste problem in Gorontalo to become more severe is the difficulty in transporting waste due to the limited transport fleet. Furthermore, the Waste Management Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle (TPS3R) personnel in several sub-districts are no longer functioning. This article details the emergence of innovative waste management applications, providing a new paradigm for cities to become digitally connected hygiene centers. The app not only revolutionizes the way waste is perceived but also offers smart solutions to optimize waste management efficiently. With a modern and progressive approach, the app creates an interactive experience for the people of Gorontalo to manage their waste. Through smart center and route mapping features, the app empowers citizens to actively contribute to keeping the city clean. In addition, the integrated information system enables quick and informed decision-making for authorities, creating responsive and effective waste management. The research conclusion confirms that the design of E-Sampah with a focus on the centre point and route of waste collection by waste officers can provide a modern and accessible solution for the people of Gorontalo. The results of the System Usability Scale (SUS) assessment with a score of 80.5 indicate that this waste management information system received a positive response from users. This prototype is expected to change mindsets and shape behaviors that support sustainable waste management.

One form of community participation in providing education is the formation of a School Committee. The School Committee acts as an independent body that accommodates and places the community's initiative aspirations in forming school policies and school programs in the education unit. Likewise with the School Committee at SMP Negeri 1 Kaloran. The School Committee is given the authority to manage Institutional Development Contributions from students. Currently, the management of institutional development donations still uses manual methods which still poses several risks in managing this data. This research aims to develop a website-based school committee institutional development donation management information system using the CodeIgniter framework by applying the waterfall method in developing the system. To design the system, the UML method is used with use case diagrams and class diagrams as an illustration of system design. Meanwhile, in system testing, the black box testing method with a Likert scale is used to determine the feasibility of the implemented system. The system was successfully implemented with system test results of 90.33%. This shows that the system is feasible to implement and has met user needs.
