Chicken Delicacy and Chicken-Related Rituals: A Gateway to Understanding the Luhya
Authors: Odutsa Evans Nyongesa
Published: May 2021

This article provides a detailed examination of the traditional Luhya people’s rituals involving chicken as a delicacy and an element of rituals. The aim of the study was to evaluate the significant place of such rituals in the present-day Luhya community. Traditionally, chicken served various functions, including settling family disputes, biding grandchildren upon visiting their relatives, and serving the purpose of the traditional ritual. Among the Luhya, a traditional ceremony and celebration cannot be meaningful without people having not only wafted but also tasted the delicacies of chicken. The elements of chicken rituals are based on a study of the chicken and the related rituals among the Bantu-speaking people of Western Kenya and Eastern Uganda in Africa. The study was inspired by the fact that the contemporary cultural context of chicken and rituals has undergone some transformation. Traditional practices were of a particular and rather narrow profile linked to appeasing the dead, source of food, especially ugali and chicken stew, identifying new sites for setting up a home, Olugala, and official inauguration of traditional ceremonies such as circumcision. It is this that has made Luhya to be mostly associated with chicken by other communities in East Africa. Equally, the chicken and rituals among Luhya are linked to the cultural performances and creative arts, which are understood, appreciated, preserved and practiced acceptably by the community hence accelerating the achievement of communal coexistence, and mutual national unity based on sound foundations of diverse cultural identities. The chicken rituals form the basic foundation of studies of the Luhya cultures. Traditional chicken slaughtering practices and their related rituals have become a valuable cultural identity with treasures if closely studied, researched, theorized and practiced. Therefore, this paper contributes an important avenue for a better understanding of the Luhya traditional culture and people.

Published: May 2021

Mixed-model assembly lines are used at the automotive industry to obtain more efficient production flows. The sequencing of the different units is done at the very beginning of the process, but frequently large perturbations of the original sequence can be observed. These perturbations might be intended or not but to some extent, a resequencing process –to create a new sequence with the available units- is necessary. This paper focuses in the re-sequencing process by using parallel buffering lines (known as mix banks). Algorithms to decide the line of destination of incoming units and the line of extraction of units to the line are presented and evaluated. The algorithms and their performance have been verified using discrete event simulation software (SIMIO). An analysis considering different operations situations is done and some recommendations to real case users are presented.Keywords: Mixed-model assembly line, Car sequencing, Resequencing, Mix bank, Dynamic algorithm.Resolviendo el problema de Resecuenciación de Coches con el uso de líneas de acumulo paralelasResumen: En la industria del automóvil se utilizan líneas mixtas de montaje de modelos para obtener flujos de producción más eficientes.

Published: May 2021

Стаття присвячена розкриттю ключових понять сутності та змісту професійно-педагогічної підготовки викладачів музичного мистецтва. Виявлено, що питання підготовки викладача, зокрема музичної освіти, сьогодні постає надзвичайно гостро, що актуалізує необхідність аналізу понятійно-термінологічного апарату. Розкрито погляди вітчизняних науковців щодо трактування сутності таких понять, як: «підготовка», «професійна підготовка», «професійно-педагогічна підготовка», «професійно-педагогічна підготовка викладачів музичного мистецтва», а також специфіки професійно-педагогічної підготовки викладачів музичного мистецтва в сучасних умовах.Визначено, що феномен професійно-педагогічної підготовки викладачів музичного мистецтва є багатогранним і потребує детального вивчення. Її особливістю є комплексний характер. Процес професійно-педагогічна підготовка викладачів музичного мистецтва відбувається на базі відповідних закладів освіти: консерваторій, факультетів закладів вищої освіти, музичних училищ.Виявлено, що науковці по-різному трактують як складові ключового поняття, так і саму дефініцію. Її специфіка полягає в необхідності поєднання викладачем музичного мистецтва високого рівня фахових знань, умінь, навичок ікомпетентностей (виконавська майстерність), володіння педагогічними уміннями, розвинутими загальними та педагогічними здібностями, забезпечення ефективної суб’єкт-суб’єктної взаємодії, продуктивність діяльності, розв’язання навчальних, виховних та розвивальних завдань. А в самій педагогічній діяльності безпосередньо розглядаються три її складові: пізнавальна (вивчення учнів, змісту, умов роботи), проєктувальна (планування змісту навчання і виховання, діяльності викладача і учнів), виконавська (навчання, виховання учнів).

Authors: Rahman Zain_Aldeen , Jassim Basil , Al_Yasir Yasir
Published: May 2021

In this paper, a new nonlinear dynamic system, new three-dimensional fractional order complex chaotic system, is presented.
This new system can display hidden chaotic attractors or self-excited chaotic attractors. The Dynamic behaviors of this system have been considered analytically and numerically. Different means including the equilibria, chaotic attractor phase portraits, the Lyapunov exponent, and the bifurcation diagrams are investigated to show the chaos behavior in this new system. Also, a synchronization technique between two identical new systems has been developed in master- slave configuration. The two identical systems are synchronized quickly. Furthermore, the master-slave synchronization is applied in secure communication scheme based on chaotic masking technique. In the application, it is noted that the message is encrypted and transmitted with high security in the transmitter side, in the other hand the original message has been discovered with high accuracy in the receiver side. The corresponding numerical simulation results proved the efficacy and practicability of the developed synchronization technique and its application
Necrotizing Fasciitis Causing Complete Femoral Vessels Necrosis and Thrombosis in an Intravenous Drug Abuser: A Case Report
Authors: El Housseiny Majdi , Edriss Sirage , Kassar Talal , Abtar Houssam Khodor , Terro Jad J
Published: May 2021

Background: Intravenous drug abuse is an anciently known health and social problem worldwide. The nonsterile application of addicting drugs leads to severe life-threatening vascular complications. The femoral triangle is an easy target for this purpose. Groin necrotic fasciitis (NF) with vessel necrosis is a challenging diagnosis that requires prompt treatment.
Case Report: A 44-year-old male intravenous drug user presented for a left groin pain. He was diagnosed by computed tomography scan to have necrotizing fasciitis. Urgent debridement was performed and identified infected and necrotic ruptured femoral vessels without active bleeding. Debridement with vessel ligation was performed, and delayed revascularization was planned. The patient was admitted six weeks later with a left fifth toe necrosis and delayed arterial revascularization was performed via extra-anatomic trans-obturator ilio-femoral anastomosis. The patient had a favorable follow-up. 
Conclusion: NF in intravenous drug abusers should always be taken into consideration when a patient presents with groin pain and swelling. Urgent surgical control should be established. Extra-anatomical trans-obturator ilio-femoral anastomosis is a good option for revascularization.
BATTERY SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT FOR NEW ENERGY VEHICLES BY A PROBABILISTIC LINGUISTIC UTASTAR METHOD
Authors: Liao Huchang , Liu Zhihang , Banaitis Audrius , Zavadskas Edmundas Kazimieras , Zhou Xiang
Published: May 2021

New energy vehicles can improve the environmental pollution and thus benefit people’s healthy life. As a core component of new energy vehicles, batteries play a crucial role in the performance of new energy vehicles. There are many factors to be considered when selecting the battery for a new energy vehicle, so it can be regarded as a MCDM problem. This study builds a useful model by combining the PLTS with the UTASTAR method. Firstly, to represent the uncertain and fuzzy information of experts, we use the PLTSs to accurately express the linguistic information of experts. Given that the weights of criteria are often different and there are some preferences for criteria among experts, we use the BWM to determine the weights of criteria, which can deal with hesitant information and make the result suitable for experts’ preferences. The method proposed in this study can sort all alternatives based on a small amount of data. To show its applicability, we implement the method in the selection of new energy vehicle battery suppliers. Comparative analysis and discussions are made to verify the effectiveness of the method.
Detectable Data-driven Features in the Primordial Scalar Power Spectrum
Authors: Esmaeilian Muhammad Sadegh , Farhang Marzieh , Khodabakhshi Shirin
Published: May 2021

In this work we explore the power of future large-scale surveys to constrain possible deviations from the standard single-field slow-roll inflationary scenario. Specifically, we parameterize possible fluctuations around the almost scale-invariant primordial scalar power spectrum in a model-independent way. We then use their imprints on the simulated matter distribution, as observed by the galaxy clustering and weak lensing probes of Euclid and the Square Kilometer Array, to construct the best constrainable patterns of fluctuations. For comparison, we make similar forecasts for a futuristic CMB-S4-like survey. The modes are found to have similar, yet shifted, patterns, with increasing number of wiggles as the mode number increases. The forecasted constraints are tightest for cosmic microwave background anisotropies and galaxy clustering, depending on the details of the specifications of the survey. As case studies, we explore how two greatly different physically motivated patterns of primordial power spectrum are reconstructed by the proposed modes. We propose a figure of merit based on the amount of information delivered by the modes to truncate the mode hierarchy, which is automatically generated by the analysis.
What Causes Faint Solar Coronal Jets from Emerging Flux Regions in Coronal Holes?
Authors: Harden Abigail R. , Panesar Navdeep K. , Moore Ronald L. , Sterling Alphonse C. , Adams Mitzi L.
Published: May 2021

Using EUV images and line-of-sight magnetograms from Solar Dynamics Observatory, we examine eight emerging bipolar magnetic regions (BMRs) in central-disk coronal holes for whether the emerging magnetic arch made any noticeable coronal jets directly, via reconnection with ambient open field as modeled by Yokoyama & Shibata. During emergence, each BMR produced no obvious EUV coronal jet of normal brightness, but each produced one or more faint EUV coronal jets that are discernible in AIA 193 Å images. The spires of these jets are much fainter and usually narrower than for typical EUV jets that have been observed to be produced by minifilament eruptions in quiet regions and coronal holes. For each of 26 faint jets from the eight emerging BMRs, we examine whether the faint spire was evidently made a la Yokoyama & Shibata. We find that (1) 16 of these faint spires evidently originate from sites of converging opposite-polarity magnetic flux and show base brightenings like those in minifilament-eruption-driven coronal jets, (2) the 10 other faint spires maybe were made by a burst of the external-magnetic-arcade-building reconnection of the emerging magnetic arch with the ambient open field, with reconnection directly driven by the arch's emergence, but (3) none were unambiguously made by such emergence-driven reconnection. Thus, for these eight emerging BMRs, the observations indicate that emergence-driven external reconnection of the emerging magnetic arch with ambient open field at most produces a jet spire that is much fainter than in previously reported, much more obvious coronal jets driven by minifilament eruptions.
Self-care Behavior and Frailty Syndrome among Elderly Patients with Heart Failure
Authors: Rochmawati Erna , Amalia Sarah
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: The development of technology gives an impact on life expectancy in the elderly. In Yogyakarta, the total of the elderly was higher than in other provinces in Indonesia. The elderly experience a decreased functional state that may lead to impaired body organs, such as heart failure. Heart failure has increasingly become a serious health problem. At present, 80% of elderly patients experience heart failure because of a decrease in functional status. The elderly may also experience frailty syndrome, which can provide a poor prognosis in terms of mortality, rehospitalization, and quality of life. It needs complex management; one of these is self-care behavior that can prevent the spread of frailty syndrome.
AIM: The study aims to assess the correlation between self-care behavior and frailty syndrome in elderly patients with heart failure.
METHODS: The study included 87 elderly patients with heart failure who visited the cardiology outpatient unit in two private hospitals. Self-care was measured using the self-care heart failure index, and frailty syndrome was assessed using the frailty index. A correlation test was conducted using Spearman rho.
RESULTS: The result showed inadequate self-care behavior with a mean score of 48.70. The mean score of frailty syndrome was 0.142, categorized in the pre-frail phase. No correlation was found between self-care behavior and frailty syndrome with p=0.20.
CONCLUSION: Self-care behavior in elderly patients with heart failure is still inadequate and in the pre-frail phase. Nurses and other health professionals should consider intervention to increase self-care behavior among the elderly and screening to increase their awareness of frailty syndrome.

BACKGROUND: The philosophical and theoretical values of nursing moved away from a systematic review of the science of nursing and experienced a shift based on paradigms. The results may be interpreted by several nursing theorists in different ways.
AIM: This paper aims to analyze the development of a more comprehensive understanding toward the meaning of confidence concept of the nurses and stimulated services health, person, environment and nursing resolutions based on nursing discussions, and nursing-related literature. The definition of this resolution has been completed and synthesized successfully to fit our nursing philosophy.
METHODS: The main argument from the researchers shows the renewal of several nursing theorists and critical appraisal adopted by Walker and Avant in eight steps of the broader concept that was agreed at the beginning in the construction of phased planning from positivistic to questionable views of the research the philosophy in nursing provers that nurses confidence is also important.
RESULTS: They are academically constructed so that they do not highlight the daily improvement of nurses as nurses need to be confident in performing their job. We need to offer a philosophy of nursing with four things: Social, environmental health, passenger care, and self-confidence.
CONCLUSION: The selection of philosophy and ideology of the second paradigm among various options must be agreed on. Nurses must have strong self-confidence and smart collaboration who can make changes in the quality of life of others considering the good and bad for their health.

BACKGROUND: Sleep is a human physiological need that must be fulfilled. Sleep disturbance is generally experienced by hospitalized patients and measured by sleep quality. Sleep disturbance can adversely affect hemodynamic parameters, physiological, and psychological outcome that contribute to the healing of patients. However, few literatures discussing the hemodynamic changes based on the patients’ sleep quality.
AIM: The study aimed to describe the hemodynamic changes before, during, and after sleeping phases
METHODS: This is an observational analytic quantitative study conducted between February and March 2019 and involved 45 patients. The samples were the conscious patients, aged between 18 and 60 years old (adult) and had been hospitalized for more than 2 days. The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire was utilized to measure the patients sleep quality, while hemodynamic values were observed by patients’ bedside monitor before, during and after sleep. Data analysis used the Friedman test to determine hemodynamic changes.
RESULTS: The results showed that most respondents were female (75.6%), used oxygen (46.7%), sleep in supine position (55.6%), and average age of 35.47 (standard deviation [SD] = 9.581) years old. Patients’ sleep quality score was 44.27 (SD = 22.809), with the average days of treatment were 2.47 days (SD = 694). The average score of Hemodynamic Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Heart Rate (HR), and Oxygen saturation (SpO2) before sleeping was 97.64, 94.04, and 94.09, during sleeping was 89.87, 85.00, and 91.22 while after sleeping was 98.27, 97.56, and 97.89, respectively. There was a significant change in HR with p = 0.019, and there was no significant change in the MAP (p = 0.152) and SpO2 (p = 0.149)
CONCLUSION: There were variations in hemodynamic score changes before, during, and after sleep, changes in MAP, HR, and SpO2 score within normal ranges. The high hemodynamic changes in the early phase, decrease during sleep, and rise again after sleep. HR is a hemodynamic parameter that significantly changes in those three phases. Monitoring of hemodynamic values in patients could be carried out in the before, during, and after sleep phases to determine the patients’ physiological and psychological condition so as to contribute the healing process.

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has high incidence and mortality. Risk factors for AKI in COVID-19 patients are not well explored. This systematic review provides a combination of available evidence regarding risk factors of AKI in COVID-19 patients.
METHODS: A systematic research was performed in Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ScienceDirect journal databases from 2019 to August 2020. The study selection process was plotted using a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses flow diagram.
RESULTS: Out of 553 studies found, four full-text studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in qualitative analysis. There are 2205 COVID-19 patients with AKI (36.44%) from 6051 COVID-19 patients. Age was a risk factors for AKI in two studies (odds ratio [OR] 1.03 [p < 0.001], OR 1.03 [p < 0.007]). Critical condition of patient is risk factors for AKI (OR 8.155 [p = 0.006]). Hirsch et al. stated that diabetes mellitus (OR 1.74 [p < 0.001]), cardiovascular disease (OR 1.48 [p < 0.001]), and hypertension (OR 1.25 [p = 0.02]) are also risk factors. Laboratory results such as elevated procalcitonin (PCT) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 showed positive association to AKI in COVID-19 patients (OR 4.822 [p = 0.037]; OR 13.451 [p = 0.016]). A higher sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at admission is one of the risk factors (OR 1.498 [p = 0.027]).
CONCLUSION: Demographics, clinical classification of COVID-19, comorbidities, SOFA score, PCT, and eGFR can help clinicians predict AKI in COVID-19 patients.

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: The nursing students should ideally represent relevant and skillful behavior in developing science. Recently, the classical teaching and learning process involving interaction between students was shifted into online learning due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. That ideal condition could not be reached. As a result, the online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic triggers students to deal with stressors such as academic assignments, the difficulty in adapting to home environment, no face-to-face meeting with the fellow students.
AIM: The researcher was aimed to analyze students’ coping strategies for burnout and fatigue from online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: It was a quantitative research with a descriptive correlation design and cross-sectional approach. The population of the research was the students in the second semester of the undergraduate program in nursing Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. The sample of the research was 83 respondents, which were taken using a purposive sampling technique.
RESULTS: Most of the nursing students were positive coping with 47 respondents (56.6%), severe burnout with 71 respondents (85.5%), and fatigue was found in 40 respondents (48.2%); meanwhile, the rest 43 respondents (52.8%) did not experience fatigue. Base on Pearson test, there was a significant correlate between nursing students coping and fatigue (0.00) with moderate correlation at 0.518, although no correlation coping with burnout.
CONCLUSION: It is expected for the institution to conduct training about more interactive online learning accessible by the student and train a positive coping mechanism to cope with burnout and fatigue.

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Exposure of health care workers to COVID-19 virus and its consequences together with fear of being infected and died or passing the infection to their families creates negative emotions with high stress in the working environment that impact their physiological and psychological health.
AIM: The objectives of the study were to explore the different stress coping strategies that reduce stress among physicians in Egypt during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: A qualitative study conducted among critical care medicine physicians (n = 32) who are working in two isolation hospitals where COVID-19-confirmed patients are being treated. Semi-structured audiotaped interviews with open-ended questions for up to 45 min were conducted from March 20, 2020, to April 15, 2020. Data processing was performed based on thematic content analysis.
RESULTS: The enrolled physicians (n = 32) were 35 ± 1.5 years old and about two-thirds of them were women (66%). Thematic analysis revealed that knowledge of the disease together with training of physicians on providing care in a healthy work environment, where adequate personal protective equipment are available, was important factors in reducing stress. Personal coping strategies, including psychological adjustment, spiritual interventions, and support systems, were mostly used among the interviewees.
CONCLUSION: Different stress-reducing strategies were recommended by participants, and these strategies focused mainly on safety and support. Implementing and promoting these strategies by organizations and individual physicians are expected to reduce their stress and consequently promote productivity and endurance throughout the current pandemic.
