Published: September 2024

The Decision Support System for providing recommendations is expected to be able to assist various parties in providing employee recommendations in the needs of an organization or company. The various factors that affect individual performance make predictions have a high gain. So it is necessary to have a method that can make recommendations that are effective against high gain. To create a recommendation system, data maining techniques are needed. One method in the classification is K-Nearest Neighbor which has the advantage of high gain. K-Nearest Neighbor also has many variations to support optimization such as the combination with the Fuzzy method, namely Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor (FK-NN). FK-NN has the advantage of providing labeling for predicted data. Apart from the KNN method, there is the AHP or Analytical Hierarchy Process method which has advantages for multiple criteria. Then TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarty to Ideal Solution) which has the same advantages as the AHP method which is often used for multiple criteria, but cannot carry out criteria if there is only one data. Another method is the WPM or Weighted Product Model which can solve multi-criteria problems, but does not have a minimum limit for each criterion assessment.
Sistem Pendukung Keputusan untuk memberikan rekomendasi diharapkan dapat membantu berbagai pihak dalam memberikan rekomendasi karyawan dalam kebutuhan suatu organisasi ataupun perusahaan. Beraneka ragamnya faktor yang mempengaruhi kinerja individu membuat prediksi memiliiki Gain yang tinggi. Sehingga perlu adanya metode yang bisa melakukan rekomendasi yang efektif terhadap gain yang tinggi. Untuk membuat sebuah sistem rekomendasi diperlukan teknik Data Maining. Salah satu metode di dalam klasifikasi adalah K-Nearest Neighbor yang memiliki keunggulan terhadap gain yang tinggi. K-Nearest Neighbor juga mempunyai banyak variasi untuk mendukung optiomalisasi seperti adanya penggabungan dengan metode Fuzzy yaitu Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor (FK-NN). FK-NN memiliki keunggulan dalam memberikan pelabelan pada data yang diprediksi. Selain metode KNN, terdapat metode AHP atau Analytical Hierarchy Process memiliki keunggulan untuk multi kriteria. Kemudian TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarty to Ideall Solution) yang memiliki keunggulan sama seperti metode AHP yang sering digunakan untuk multi kriteria, tetapi tidak bisa melakukan kriteria jika data hanya ada satu. Metode yang lain adalah WPM atau Weighted Product Model yang bisa menyelesaikan masalah multi kriteria, tetapi tidak memiliki batas minimal untuk masing-masing penilaian kriteria.
Examining the Experienced Barriers to Seeking Mental Health Treatment Among Metropolitan Millennial Black Men
Authors: Cofield Demetrius
Published: September 2024

The increase in the prevalence of mental illness among Black millennials has led to more awareness and advocacy within the generation. However, Black millennial men are still utilizing counseling services at significantly lower rates than millennial Black women and men of other races. Consequently, this can lead to the increase of suicide completions and undiagnosed mental health issues among Black men who experience more severe and disabling symptoms of mental illness. Negative stigma associated with counseling is prevalent in the Black community, especially among Black men, and little attention has been given to research the barriers to treatment they experience. Based on past reported themes, Black Masculinity and Critical Race Theory are utilized as a multi-dimensional framework for this phenomenological study to provide in-depth information on the barriers to counseling experienced by metropolitan millennial Black men. Using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis of the semi-structured interviews of this study, results indicated the following three themes as experienced barriers: Black Pride, Classical Masculinity, and Negative perceptions of mental health and counseling. Implications for improving advocacy efforts by mental health professional and advocates as well as future research are provided.
Modeling and cultivating critical global citizenship skills in the online space
Authors: Stanlick Sarah Eliza , Doiron Joseph
Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the function of higher education.  For community-based global learning, these barriers might have felt insurmountable.  How does one create a meaningful learning experience that was originally conceptualized as a place-based, urban, project-based international experience in the online space?  This was the challenge for the authors and one that, while difficult, ultimately led to a number of insights.  These insights were not only helpful for sustaining us during the quarantine but have proven to be important innovations for future engagement in a changed world.  One of our greatest concerns is that we as a field and movement will fall back to our old ways, forgetting that “normal” was not particularly equitable, just, or sustainable, and that what was learned in the pandemic could go a long way to reorienting our compass towards justice.  In the following paper, we focus on a review of authentic learning, global learning, and pedagogical constructs that build accountability, empathy, and humility - critical global citizenship skills - in learners.  We share insights from shifting a traditionally face-to-face (F2F), immersive international experience to a fully online modality.  Finally, we posit some promising practices and recommendations that could shape future online global citizenship education and the opportunities it affords, especially as natural disasters, pandemics, and sustainability concerns complicate the future of these project-based global learning endeavors.
Tactical to Transformational: Reclaiming the Strategic Purpose of a Metropolitan Campus
Authors: Strawser Michael
Published: September 2024

In the fall of 2019, our large southeastern metropolitan university launched a campus strategically situated in downtown Orlando. As we all remember, in the spring of 2020, as our campus was starting to build momentum as a student and community-centered hub, the world shut down because of a global pandemic. Our challenges over the last several years have been multifaceted. Our university lost key administrators who championed the efforts of the new campus and we have been trying to reclaim the vision and purpose of this space. We have also had a dearth of faculty engagement at the new campus partly because of so many remote courses and meetings. These challenges impact all stakeholders involved with the downtown campus. To reclaim our purpose, we interviewed key stakeholders (N = 21) connected to the university and/or the community to then use their perspectives on the downtown campus as well as their thoughts on community-engaged scholarship (CES) to create a strategic plan to move forward. We have included our strategic plan and our seven primary goals or objectives that were determined based on stakeholder feedback.

Yoga may attenuates hallmarks of skin aging
Authors: Kumari Anuj , Medharthi Neeraj
Published: September 2024

Aging is the continuous loss of homeostasis in a cell, tissue, organ, and whole body. Over time, skin, the biggest organ in the body, may age and become more susceptible to injury. In this study, we thoroughly examined signs of ageing skin. A challenge in front is the fast aging of the people with this finding a lifestyle intervention or strategy to improve skin as well overall health with negligible harmful effects. Yoga is an inclusive program that includes dietary, lifestyle, behavioral, and psychological involvements to re-establish the system's homeostasis and works simultaneously at the body, mind, and spirit levels. Yoga is an auspicious lifestyle intervention that has exposed antiaging effects to extend healthspan by reducing the nine hallmarks of skin aging and related disorder and diseases.

To evaluate the impact of yogic practices on hallmarks of skin aging leading to improved healthspan and lifespan.

This article evaluates that Yoga is a promising tool in controlling nine hallmarks of biological skin aging which increases both health span as well as lifespan. There is a need to verify its application and find a modest, appropriate, and costless substitute to improve longevity and health span.

Published: September 2024

To analyze the functional outcomes of patients with proximal humerus fracture with philos plate fixation.

: This prospective study encompasses a cohort of 20 patients diagnosed with displaced fractures of the proximal humerus, categorized according to Neer's classification. Aged between 22 - 66 years who all sustained trauma to limb. Pathological and undisplaced patterned proximal humerus fractures were excluded from this study. All the patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with philos plate in Department of Orthopaedics at MM Institute of Medical Sciences and Research during the study period.

Average age of patients included into this study was 46.95 years. Average time taken from injury to surgery was 7.85 days. Delto-pectoral and deltoid splitting approach was used in the cases included in this study, to gain access to proximal humerus. In this study we have used Constant score along with Neer’s classification for proximal humerus fracture to assess the functional outcome of all the cases. We have obtained 25% excellent, 30% good, 30% moderate and 15% poor functional outcome measured by Constant score.

: In our study 20 patients having displaced proximal humerus fracture of Neer’s classification included, 17 patients (85%) had excellent to moderate outcomes with proximal humerus internal locking system. The utilization of stable and rigid fixation provided by Philos plate fixation offers several advantages. Early mobilization facilitated by this technique enables patients to swiftly return to their pre-fracture functional status, consequently reducing the risk of shoulder stiffness, restricted range of motion, head collapse, and ultimately enhancing their overall quality of life. Proximal humerus. The choice of surgical approach and type of implant employed is contingent upon several factors, including the fracture pattern, bone quality, patient's objectives, and the surgeon's proficiency with various techniques. Additionally, the learning curve associated with selected implants significantly influences decision-making. Employing an appropriate surgical technique can mitigate complications, while a rigorous rehabilitation regimen contributes to achieving optimal outcomes. Despite the limitations of our study, namely its relatively short duration and lack of randomization, our findings align with those reported in other scholarly publications.
“True to Them, True to Myself”: Understanding Restrictive Masculinity in Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago
Authors: Heilman Brian , Piras Claudia , Etcheverry Luciana , Basdeo Tricia , Yance Magali
Published: September 2024

Restrictive masculinity is a social construct that is tied to beliefs about how men behave and are expected to behave to be considered “real men”. By contrast, gender-equitable masculinities constitute a more flexible alternative that permits men to take on diverse roles and behaviors while not limiting womens agency. This publication conducted a thorough analysis of restrictive masculinities in Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago in 2022, utilizing both focus groups and online surveys. The research aimed to understand the attitudes of young men exploring seven themes related to gender and masculinities, including toughness, self-sufficiency, paid and unpaid work, money and education, hypersexuality, homophobia, power and control, and violence. To measure masculinity, the study develops a statistically validated scale composed of diverse attitude statements based on previous tools on this topic. It also explores how young mens attitudes about gender are associated with social norms and influence behavioral outcomes in areas such as sexual harassment, bullying, alcohol and drug abuse, depression and suicidal ideation. Finally, the publication offers policy recommendations and highlights best practices that can be employed to accelerate positive changes in the region.
The Capacity of Artmaking Assemblages to Enable Positive Transformations
Authors: Tumanyan Marian
Published: September 2024

This article explores how artmaking assemblages bring changes in children’s potential to express themselves. Assemblages are a system consisting of human, non-human, material, and relational elements in a given situation. Through the concept of artmaking assemblage, I explore the arts-based effects emerging around a Finnish schoolgirl participating in artmaking research workshops. Analysed video data from the workshops illustrate how her expression and participation change in and through the artmaking assemblages, and how different details in the artmaking assemblages combine to promote those changes. The girl’s artworks are used as data, as is an interview with the artist who participated in the workshops. The concept of artmaking assemblage is used as a thinking and writing companion when analysing the events from the artmaking processes. I conclude that artmaking processes, when done in a consistent manner and in a trust-based environment, support children’s possibilities to express themselves around sensitive issues.
Walking-Writing-Weaving
Authors: Moylan Rachel
Published: September 2024

Internet algorithms influence the news we read, the products we buy, the music we listen to, the people we interact with, and even the words we use to communicate. Our preferences, beliefs, perceptions, and behaviours are all shaped by algorithmic processes, threatening our capacities for self-awareness and self-formation. What’s more, algorithms operate smoothly and imperceptibly under the surface of our postdigital existence. How can we begin to make sense of our relationships with algorithms, knowing that they operate beyond the limits of perception? How can we reconsider the human-algorithm relationship as a way of opening new possibilities of being? Using a/r/tographic inquiry, I addressed these questions through a months-long process of walking, writing, and weaving, revealing insights that may help illuminate a path toward living with the complexities and contradictions while hanging on to the parts of ourselves that remain resistant to domination.
“Our Culture is a Product of Active Word”
Authors: Kalan Amir
Published: September 2024

With a focus on the intersection of creative writing and research, this article reports findings from a poetic inquiry project conducted within an undergraduate writing seminar to help pre-service teachers make sense of immigrants’ experiences with writing in a new culture and language. A group of undergraduate students in Ohio were invited to make found poetry based on interview data from conversations with immigrants about writing in English as their learned language. Adopting Bourdieu’s theories, the research reveals the dynamics shaping the writing culture in North America. The students’ found poems reflect a sensitivity to the societal, political, and ideological foundations of writing. Importantly, the poems recognize writing as a tool for immigrants’ identity negotiation and highlight how rhetorical control can be used for cultural assimilation. In response, some of the students’ found poems advocate for rhetorical complexity and co-constructions of new cultural futures by immigrants and their hosts.
Material-Relational Following of an Artist-Curator Relationship in Movement
Authors: Friis Joachim
Published: September 2024

In this article, I explore insights gained in the investigation of a personal artist-curator relationship using Katve-Kaisa Kontturi’s methodology of material-relational following. In my role as a curator, I track my relationship with Danish artist Regitze Karlsen as it unfolded from 2017 until 2023; from my first meeting with the artist and her work, through collaborative work on an exhibition, and a studio visit afterwards. I show how the method of following provides in-movement knowledge of the artist-curator relation, which makes it possible to conceive of the art-work as an expanded process of ideas, sites, materials, and affects between artworkers. Moving between sections of lived experiences and theoretical reflections, I conclude that the curatorial modes of being hooked, curiosity, and concern, were essential for my following of Regitze’s and my artist-curator relation.
Book Review of Art-Care Practices for Restoring the Communal
Authors: Fidyk Alexandra
Published: September 2024

Barbara Bickel and R. Michael Fisher, through their co-creative life-partnership, have composed in their book Art-Care Practices for Restoring the Communal: Education, Co-inquiry, and Healing, a beneficial guide (project) for research, education, academe, and art. They provocatively decentre deep-rooted beliefs in individualism and competition—aspects that dominate today’s academic life, promotion, publishing quotas, and journal rankings. In their thoughtful tarrying, they offer the reader three equally important text sections: “Communidreaming on Theory”; “Spontaneous Creating on Practice”; and “Gestating on Service.” Opening this collective is a detailed glossary, followed by a foreword of poetry, psalm, and photographed process which introduces Bracha Ettinger and her guiding Matrixial theory. Thereafter, Bickel and Fisher’s story of inspiration transports us into their intimate and courageous practice of Spontaneous Creation-Making (SCM) with 35 co-creatives—“an invitational way to make and re-make sense of the troubling times” (p. xxxv) which unfolded during the pandemic and shutdown in North America.
Assessment on the Postproduction Systems and Losses of Calamansi in the Philippines: Oriental Mindoro to Manila Market Chain
Authors: Calica Gigi B. , Nacion Niña Kathleen F.
Published: September 2024

Calamansi (Citrofortunella microcarpa) also known as calamondin, or Philippine Lime is considered one of the high value crops indigenously and commercially grown in the Philippines. A steady decline in the volume of production was recorded from 2016 to 2022 wherein postproduction losses was as one of the factors identified. Using the chain of Oriental Mindoro to Manila market, this study was conducted to assess the present situation compared to the 2009 postproduction systems and perceived loss figure.
Results showed that there was a shift in the harvesting time, more careful harvesting using the metal clip to minimize plugging, incorporating washing and curing and more market outlets identified in the present postproduction system. It was evident that total perceived losses by the different stakeholders were reduced at 17.07% from 30% of 2009. Farm losses contributed the highest and sources of losses were due to insect damage, yellowing, and browning. Majority of the calamansi produced in Oriental Mindoro were supplied to Divisoria, Manila and Tanuan, Batangas markets. Among the chain actors, farmers incurred the highest costs while wholesaler received the highest net income. Farm activities were predominantly done by males while females for the marketing and processing. Processing the marketable rejects and the volume during peak seasons’ glut is recommended through farmer’s cooperative/associations as value adding activities.
Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of Bioplastics from Vegetables Waste/PVA and Coating with Polyeugenol
Authors: Abdul Rahim Erwin
Published: September 2024

Plastic waste is increasingly piling up, because plastic waste is not easily destroyed by rain and sun or microbes that live in the soil, thereby increasing environmental damage such as soil pollution. One solution to overcome the problem of using plastic is bioplastic technology. This study aimed to preparation and characterization physicochemical of bioplastics from different vegetable wastes such as green spinach, water spinach and moringa. The preparation of bioplastics is carried out with two variants, vegetable waste as the base material /PVA and coating with polyeugenol. Physicochemical analysis of bioplastics includes surface observation by SEM; crystallinity by XRD; identification of functional groups by FTIR; thermal characteristics analysis by TGA, DTA and DSC; and analysis of mineral composition by AAS. Analysis by SEM shows that the smoothest surface is water spinach/PVA coating with polyeugenol compared with other vegetable waste. Characterization results show that the obtained bioplastic has a good heat resistance up to 200oC. XRD shows that coated with polyeugenol increases the crystallinity and the highest crystallinity value is moringa/PVA coated with polyeugenol. Infrared spectroscopy results show the presence of C-H alkanes, C=O carboxylic acids, OH alcohols and C-H alkenes and the spectra are similar between green spinach, water spinach and moringa. Analysis by AAS showed that the bioplastic produced contained some micro and macronutrients including Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na and Ni and only moringa has not found the mineral Cu. Thus, bioplastic from vegetables waste/PVA and coating with polyeugenol were potentially used as mulch and packaging material.

Background: Faba bean is used as a green vegetable as well as pulse which meet the requirementof protein in human diet. It can grow in a wide range of agro climatic conditions because faba bean least affected by biotic, abiotic stress and having the ability to fix ample amount of atmospheric nitrogen in the soil. Methods: The present investigation was conducted during 2020-21 and 2021-2022 at Bhola Paswan Shastri Agricultural College, Purnea. Bihar. The experimental material was based on a line x tester mating design comprising 24 hybrids (F1’s) developed by crossing 8 lines (females) and 3 tester. The 24 F2’s along with their parents were evaluated during 2021-2022 in randomized block design with two replications row to row and plant to plant distance was maintained at 45 and 15 cm respectively. Result: The analysis of variance for combining ability for all the studied traits is highly significant except for traits viz; Pod length at maturity and No. of seeds per pod. The estimates of specific combining ability (SCA) effects among all the cross combinations were observed significant and negative relative heterosis and heterobeltiosis for traits days to 50% flowering and days to maturity it might be due to non-additive gene action for expression of these traits and selection of these traits may be effective for early maturity and further breeding programme. Days to 50% flowering were exhibited significant and positive inbreeding depression for traits days to 50% flowering (Bak-15/Bak-11, Bak-16/Bak-11 and Bak-16/Bak-20), plant height and number of pod per plant except in cross Bak-1/Bak-5.

Published: September 2024

Un veau d'un an de pure race Fulani (zébu) a été choisi aprés sélection sur ses anticorps humoraux contre Anaplasma marginale en utilisant les tests de fluorescence indirecte et d'agglutination par tubes capillaires. Il a été splénectomisé et expérimentallement infecté avec un stabilat de A. marginale. 0,2 ml du stabilat ont été inoculé par voie intraveineuse, puis on a observé les signes de manifestations chimiques et les changements hématologiques et biochimiques du sang. Bien que l'anémie n'ait pas été proportielle au degré de parasétémie, les deux facteurs étaient étroitement et négativement corrélés avec le pic de parasitémie se produisant deux jours avant l'anémie maximale. Les valeurs les plus basse de l'hématocrite et de l'hémoglobine, respectivement de 7 p. 100 et 1,8 g/100 ml, signes de l'anémie maximale, ont été enregistrées au 21ème jours de l'infection. Les numérotations de leucocytes totaux ont montré une augmentation marquée durant le pic de parasitémie. Le taux de glycémie est descendu de 80,0 g/dl, valeur moyenne lors de la pré-infection, au niveau minimal de 41 g/dl au 19e jours. Il n'y a pas eu d'augmentation ou de diminution significatives des proteines totales du sérum durant la période patente. Cependant les fractions de globulines et d'albumine ont été légèrement augmenté et diminué respectivement au début puis au maximum de l'anémie. Le taux de fer du sérum est passé de 46,54 mmol/l en moyenne lors de la pré-infection au maximun de 114,56 mmol/l au 19e jours, alors que, d'un autre côté, les niveaux de zinc et de cuivre ont baissé respectivment de 46,80 mmol/l et 14,6 mmol/l à 18,60 mmol/l et 7,95 mmol/l. Par ailleurs, il n'y a pas eu de changement marqué dans les taux de calcium, magnésium, sodium et potasium.

Fractions électrophorétiques des proteïnes plamatiques chez la brebis Adale (Ethiopie). Variations en fonction du stade physiologique, de la cuprémie et du traitement antiparasitaire
Authors: Grillet Colette , Faye Bernard
Published: September 2024

174 plasmas de brebis de race Adale (Ethiopie) ont été analysés par électrophorèse. Certaines brebis furent traitées par un produit antihelminthique ; un certain nombre d'entre elles se caractérisait par une déficiense sévére en cuivre décelable par une cuprémie trés basse par rapport à la normale. les faits principaux à retenir sont : -une diminution des gammaglobulines aprés agnelage ; -une chute considérable du taux d'albumine chez les brebis non déparasitées ; -une diminution significative des alphaglobulines chez les animaux carencés. La caractéristique la plus intéressante des plasmas disponibles étant la précense d'une carence en cuivre prononcée, la variation du profil électrophorétique des brebis déficientes paraît particulièrement notable dans la perceptive d'un dépistage de l'hypocuprémie au cours d'électrophorèses de routine.

La maladie de Gumboro dans les élevages semi-industriels de la région de Dakar
Authors: Cardinale Eric , Arbelot Brigitte , Kaboret Y. , Dayon Jean-François , Biaou C. , Bada Algom O.
Published: September 2024

A partir d'une enquête anatomopathologique, bactériologique et parasitologique menée sur des oiseaux provenant de 52 foyers de maladie d'octobre 1993 à mai 1994, les auteurs ont montré que la maladie de Gumboro avait une prévalence de 26 % en élevage de poulets de chair et 7 % en élevage de poulettes. La maladie était associée à la coccidiose dans 23 % des cas et à la colibacillose dans 8 %. Une étude sérologique a montré que la prévalence de la maladie atteignait 69 % en saison des pluies et 46 % en saison sèche. Les signes cliniques se sont manifestés dans 11 % des lots de poulets de chair infectés. Seuls 5 % des lots de poulettes et 11 % des lots de poulets de chair avaient été correctement vaccinés contre la maladie de Gumboro. L'observation de la cinétique des anticorps a révélé que 52,6 % des poussins produits à Dakar avaient un seuil de protection bas à partir de la 3e semaine. Cependant une vaccination entre les ge et 12e jours permet souvent une séroconversion précoce et rapide. L'explication de tels niveaux de prévalence résidait dans la non-application des règles d'hygiène élémentaires : bandes multiples, absence de protection de l'élevage, mauvais nettoyage-désinfection, vide sanitaire insuffisant. L'administration de vaccins vivants reconstitués avec de l'eau de puits souvent additionnée de désinfectants était responsable de nombreux échecs vaccinaux. La maladie de Gumboro apparaît comme la plus fréquente des maladies virales et devient un objectif prioritaire pour les acteurs de la santé vétérinaire. La formation en hygiène des aviculteurs demeure l'étape préalable essentielle pour rendre efficace toute mesure de lutte.

Published: September 2024

Un programme de lutte commun contre les glossines et la trypanosomose a été mis en place le long de la frontière entre l’Ouganda et le Kenya depuis juillet 1991. Des combinaisons différentes utilisant piège à tsé-tsé, méthode du pour-on et chimiothérapie ont été utilisées. Ces différentes combinaisons de stratégie de lutte ont été testées dans la région de l’étude divisée en trois zones (A, B et C). Dans la zone A, la méthode du pour-on a été appliquée à une grande échelle, et les pièges à tsé-tsé (8-10 pièges/km2) et la chimiothérapie ont également été utilisés. Dans la zone B, seuls les pièges à tsé-tsé (8-10 pièges/km2) et la chimiothérapie ont été utilisés. Dans la zone C, l’ensemble du bétail a été traité dans toute la zone avec de l’acéturate de diminazène. Des pièges moins nombreux ont ensuite été posés (4-5 pièges/km2). Lors du suivi, le dépistage de 400 bovins dans chaque zone a eu lieu tous les trois mois et la densité apparente des tsé-tsé a été déterminée tous les mois. De juillet 1991 à mars 1997, des réductions dans la prévalence des trypanosomoses et dans la densité apparente des tsé-tsé, respectivement de 94 et 99,5 % dans la zone A, de 89 et 99,5 % dans la zone B et de 79 et 95 % dans la zone C ont pu être obtenues et conservées. Les espèces de trypanosomes prédominantes observées chez le bétail pendant la période étaient : T. vivax dans la zone A, T. vivax et T. congolense dans la zone B, et T. vivax, T. congolense et T. brucei dans la zone C. Glossina fuscipes fuscipes a été la seule espèce de mouche tsé-tsé attrapée. La stratégie de lutte la plus efficace a été l’application de pour-on à une grande échelle dans un premier temps, suivie par l’utilisation de pièges et une chimiothérapie régulière. Cependant, l’efficacité de la lutte a semblé être dépendante du niveau de la pression parasitaire, de la vitesse de réduction initiale de la densité glossinienne et de la durabilité de l’apport de matériel de lutte contre les mouches tsé-tsé et la trypanosomose pendant la campagne.

Authors: Septiani Ella Lovi , Ariyanto Sugeng , Setyono Budi
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to analyze the politeness maxims in the government published ELT textbook for Senior High School student. According to Geoffrey Leech's (1983) politeness principle includes six maxims: tact maxim, generosity maxim, approbation maxim, modesty maxim, agreement maxim, and sympathy maxim. Every maxims has its own purpose so it is necessary for the teacher to understand about each purpose of the maxims. The researcher gathered the dialogues which provide information about maxims of politeness which is represented in the textbook. Textbooks are standard books for instructional purposes which supports the teaching and learning process (Tarigan, 1986: 13). There are some previous researches in using textbook as the instrument. However, mostly the previous researchers are interested in moral value, gender equality, cultural elements and etc. Therefore, in order to explore the use of politeness principle inside a textbook, the researcher interested in conducted a study based on Geoffrey Leech’s six maxims theory in an English Textbook for Senior High School students.

The dietary fiber is considered to provide benefits as a prebiotic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of preprocessing on millet flour dietary fiber and its ability to stimulate the growth of probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus SKG34. The research was conducted in two stages, i.e. preprocessing millet flour and viability of probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus rhamnosus SKG34) on different broth media. First, millet flour was made in various preprocessed method: without preprocessing, germination preprocessing, fermentation preprocessing, germination – fermentation preprocessing. Second, the viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus SKG34 was carried out on various media broth: glucose-free MRS (control), MRS, adding dietary fibers extract from millet flour with different preprocessing. The results showed that millet flour with fermented preprocessing (F) provided the highest dietary fiber of 22.38% with a water content of 11.97% and a tannin content of 0.08%. L. rhamnosus SKG34 exhibited the highest viability when grown in MRS broth. The addition of dietary fiber extract did not significantly enhance the viability of L. rhamnosus SKG34 compared to the glucose-free MRS broth (control), which showed a viability of 5 log10 CFU/mL. Thus, it can be concluded that millet preprocessing with fermentation (F) can significantly increase the dietary fiber of millet flour. However, dietary fiber millet has no potential as a suitable prebiotic candidate for promoting probiotic bacterial growth.

A implantação do e-commerce é um diferencial para que uma organização se mantenha em condição competitiva. Dessa forma, uma estruturação feita de maneira organizada para inserir a empresa no mercado digital, pode representar um ganho efetivo no que tange ao aproveitamento dos recursos tecnológicos. Um dos principais desafios enfrentados pelas empresas que desejam iniciar o comércio de produtos pela internet, principalmente no Brasil, é o transporte. Além dos problemas relacionados ao transporte no país, como a infraestrutura precária e o custo elevado, o comércio eletrônico demanda que a empresa se prepare para lidar com os impactos que afetarão sua capacidade de entregar os pedidos aos consumidores. O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar e apresentar soluções aos desafios enfrentados por uma empresa do setor de materiais de construção, localizada em Volta Redonda, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, ao implementar o comércio eletrônico, especificamente em relação à capacidade de transporte. Por meio da análise das informações coletadas, identificou-se o potencial gargalo associado à capacidade de transporte de pedidos, decorrente das vendas online, além de se apresentarem medidas a serem adotadas para superar tais obstáculos. Os resultados evidenciam que a capacidade de transporte de pedidos não pode ser unicamente associada à capacidade de carga máxima estipulada pelo fabricante do veículo. Na organização analisada, o gargalo identificado reside principalmente no tempo e na diversidade de produtos comercializados, os quais, devido à sua natureza específica, frequentemente não podem ser transportados simultaneamente no mesmo veículo.

Based on the data of gamma-ray logging of wells in the central part of the West Siberian petroleum basin the map and three-dimensional model of the natural radioactivity distribution values of rocks within the Bazhenov Formation and its stratigraphic analogues were constructed, that is mainly due to the uneven distribution of uranium in rocks. Most often, the average values of gamma activity in the Formation interval are in the range of 30–50 μR/hr. Areas with increased levels of radioactivity and uranium concentrations are usually confined to the middle part of the Formation. Regionally, sediments with increased gamma activity values tend to zones of Early Mesozoic graben rifts and uplifted parts of positive tectonic elements of the first order. In general, areas with elevated uranium concentrations have, to a large extent, a patchy rather than layered distribution over the section.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged people to adopt healthier lifestyles, yet available information remains scarce. Marketers often utilize advertising to educate the public, but ads must be engaging to capture attention. Therefore, this study seeks to examine how the content and sources of advertisements influence attitudes toward vegan food using the S-O-R Theory.
Design/Methods/Approach: This study conducts experiments on social media apps, manipulating vegan food ads across different designs and endorsers using a 2x2 factorial design between subjects with 160 participants. It utilizes vegan meat as a stimulus and conducts manipulation checks before distributing questionnaires.
Findings: The findings indicate that classical aesthetics are more effective in shaping attitudes toward vegan food advertising. Consumers purchase vegan food to maintain their health, and by using classical aesthetics, consumers perceive the food as healthier.
Originality/Value: Previous research on vegan food has focused on various aspects such as values, claims, motivation, and ideologies. In contrast, this study explores how vegan food ads positively influence consumer attitudes, with unique visual aesthetics findings in these advertisements.
Practical/Policy Implication: Marketers must focus on visual aesthetics and choose suitable endorsers for effective vegan food ads, shaping positive consumer attitudes and purchase intentions.

Authors: Hasan Diana Sukmawati , Arief Yuni Sufyanti , Krisnana Ilya
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The lack of maternal nutritional literacy has a high impact on the health of stunted children. This can be overcome by providing information to the mother with the help of a mobile application. The purpose of this review is to identify and systematically analyze mobile application interventions on maternal nutritional literacy, including increasing knowledge, attitudes, and feeding practices in stunted children.
Method: This systematic review was based on PRISMA, with inclusion criteria including samples of stunted children aged under 5 years, mobile application interventions, and measures of knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Most of the studies in this review utilized randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs. The literature search was conducted using multiple databases, including Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), EBSCO, ProQuest, and PubMed. The search was restricted to full-text articles published between 2018 and 2022.
Results: There are 3 forms and media of mobile application interventions. This systematic review shows that mobile application interventions significantly improve maternal literacy related to increasing knowledge, attitudes, and practices in mothers with stunted children, the duration of mobile applications used in each session is 1 minute to 25 minutes per week. With application content on nutritional principles based on children's age, the introduction of appropriate complementary foods and semi-solid foods according to age, food diversity, and providing special supplementary foods and infant and child feeding training (IYCF).
Conclusions: The form and media of application video intervention and counseling in mobile application intervention show a positive impact in increasing nutritional literacy in mothers including knowledge, attitudes, and feeding practices for stunted children under 5 years old.

Postpartum Fatigue: A Critical Challenge for New Mothers
Authors: Nastiti Aria Aulia
Published: September 2024

Postpartum fatigue (PPF) is a pervasive and often underrecognized challenge affecting 45-95% of new mothers. This editorial explores the prevalence, impact, and management of PPF, emphasizing its far-reaching consequences on maternal health, mother-infant bonding, and family dynamics. The article highlights the critical role of nurses in addressing PPF through early identification, education, and support. Key strategies include proactive screening, promoting self-care practices, and advocating for comprehensive postpartum care. The importance of building strong support networks and referring mothers to appropriate specialists is underscored. By recognizing PPF as a serious health concern rather than an inevitable aspect of motherhood, healthcare providers can significantly improve outcomes for new mothers and their families. This piece calls for continued research and the development of patient-centered care strategies to effectively manage postpartum fatigue and support maternal well-being.

“Islamic Jihad” in Palestine: close reading a policy document
Authors: Kuznetsov V.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the modern ideological positions of the organization “Islamic Jihad in Palestine”, focusing on the relationship between nationalist and Islamist elements. The relevance of the topic is underscored by the major escalation of the situation in Palestine in 2023–2024, the increased role of radical Islamist movements in the Palestinian political field, and the peculiarities of the transformation of modern Islamism, in which the global religious and political project is intricately intertwined with nationalist ideas. Methodologically, the study is based on the method of close reading and Neomodernist analysis of political strategies developed by the author. The main source for this study is the organization‟s “Policy Document” published in 2018. The article examines the document‟s preamble, the identity of the organization as described in it, its view of the past and present of Palestine and the Palestinians, the image of the enemy and approaches to confronting it, the role of external actors, and international aspects of resolving the Palestinian issue. Following a detailed analysis of the document, the author identifies the main features of Islamic Jihad‟s ideology and explores how they are connected with the ideological quests of the Arab nationalists. Finally, the author examines the basic narrative of Islamic Jihad, highlighting its underlying Islamist, conservative, and leftist elements.
Conflict interaction between Turkey and the United States in the Syria crisis
Authors: Krylov D. , Sbitneva A.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the conflict interaction between Turkey and the United States in the context of the Syrian crisis. It reveals that while Ankara at the early stage of the Syrian events was guided primarily by the ideological and value-based impulses, the United States pursued its national interests trying to extract as many preferences as possible from the situation by all means. This approach has largely shaped the U.S. cooperation with the Kurdish groups in Syria. It is concluded that, despite Turkey’s indirect engagement in the conflict as a U.S. partner at the beginning of the Arab Spring, in the first half of 2020s, Ankara already posed as an independent player in and on Syria. The latter has finally emerged as a separate area of the Turkish foreign policy activity unrelated to the U.S. regional policy. Turkey’s independence which is not accepted by the American side has become an additional factor complicating coordination between the two states on the ground. It is shown that the problem of the U.S. cooperation with the Kurdish formations remains the main factor that raises the level of conflict interaction between Ankara and Washington in and on Syria. Scenario planning theory, with a focus on the “inevitable future” technique, and the SWOT analysis method are used to assess the prospects for transforming the patterns of conflict interaction between Ankara and Washington. On this basis, it is concluded that escalation of tensions between Turkey and the United States in and on Syria is inevitable, with a degree of the severity of the confrontation between the two states as the key variable. An analysis of opportunities and threats for bilateral interaction shows the limitations of a positive outcome and its dependence on shifts in the regional balance of power with the participation of third players.
