A review on calcinosis cutis
Authors: Reddy Yeruva Mallikarjuna
Published: November 2023

Calcinosis, marked by hydroxyapatite, calcium, and phosphate deposits in skin and subcutaneous tissues, is common in individuals with various physiological conditions, soft tissue ailments, and autoimmune disorders. Researchers categorize and analyze these occurrences, shedding light on their pathophysiology. They also review scientific evidence regarding non- pharmacologic and pharmacodynamic treatments. Calcinosis cutis involves the accumulation of insoluble calcium ions in the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue, classified into dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, iatrogenic, and calciphylaxis subgroups. Dysplastic deposits result from cellular damage, while metastatic calcification stems from irregular potassium and phosphorous metabolism. Undiagnosed calcification occurs independently of tissue destruction or underlying disease. Autoimmune syndrome-induced epidermal calcification is a rare therapy-related effect. Calciphylaxis, primarily affecting the vascular system, is introduced, with disturbances in calcium and phosphorus biotransformation and congenital hypothyroidism as contributing factors.
A two-factor model of
perfectionism in sports
Authors: Radulović Tijana , Petrović Jelica
Published: November 2023

The main goal of the research was to examine the correlation between personality traits (conscientiousness and neuroticism), perfectionistic strivings and concerns, and achievement motives (hope of success and fear of failure). In this research, 348 respondents (111 women, 237 men) from Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, aged 16 to 54 years, filled out the questionnaires. Personality traits were measured by the Big Five plus 2 (VP + 2) questionnaire. The Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale 2 (Sport-MPS 2) and the Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sports (MIPS) were used for measuring perfectionism, while the revised version of the Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS-R) was used for motivational strategies determination. The relations were investigated with the method of structural equations. The theoretical model showed satisfactory concordance with the empirical data (RMSEA = .021, SRMR = .019, CFI = .999, TLI = .996). The model predicts the mediating effect of perfectionistic strivings on the relationship between conscientiousness and hope of success, as well as neuroticism and hope of success, and the mediating effect of perfectionistic concerns on the relationship between neuroticism and fear of failure.
Relationship between unilateral and bilateral countermovement jump performance and
force-velocity-power outcome variables
Authors: Spudić Darjan , Ribič Ažbe
Published: November 2023

The main objective of the present study was to check the relationship between commonly used unilateral and bilateral countermovement jump (CMJ) performance variables (jump heights, unilateral CMJ jump/bilateral CMJ jump height index, reactive strength index modified and bilateral deficit) and Force-velocity-Power (F-v-P) outcomes from loaded CMJs. Seventeen physical education students performed unilateral CMJ jumps, bilateral CMJ jumps and two-load (20 and 70% of the participant’s body mass) F-v-P tests. The results show that bilateral CMJ jump, unilateral CMJ jump height and the reactive strength index modified calculated from the bilateral CMJ jump are moderately correlated (r = 0.567-0.633, p<.05) to F0. No statistically significant correlations were found between F-v-P outcomes and unilateral CMJ jump height to bilateral CMJ jump index, reactive strength index modified calculated from the unilateral CMJ jump and bilateral deficit. Multiple linear stepwise regressions between F-v-P outcomes and performance variables revealed that only F0 can be statistically significantly predicted by CMJ height (R2 = 40 %). Although the unilateral and bilateral CMJ tests are less time-consuming and less fatiguing than the progressive loaded CMJ jump test, the results of our study show that the mechanical properties of the lower extremities obtained by unilateral CMJ jump and bilateral CMJ jump cannot be generalized to those measured by F-v-P profiling.
Knee

in Lower Weight Classes
Authors: Naylor Andrew , Ashkanfar Ariyan , Liu Xiaoxiao , English Russell
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of knee wraps for competitive powerlifters. To achieve this, an analysis of powerlifting results dating back to 1964 has been conducted. From these results the one repetition max (1RM) squat was evaluated, specifically examining the influence of competitors using knee wraps versus raw (allowing only neoprene knee sleeves). Student’s t-test was used to compare the 1RM squat for male raw competitors (n=270,268) to those using wraps (n=26,576); and likewise for female raw (n=136,530) versus wraps (n=11,468). Overall, the males using wraps yielded significantly higher (p<.05) 1RM squat values (203 kg ± 46.8) than their raw counterparts (195 kg ± 45.7). The females yielded modest, but significantly higher (p<.05) 1RM squat values for raw (112 kg ± 29.3), compared to wraps (111 kg ± 29.8). The results were stratified by weight classes, and it was found that males in heavier classes (105, 120, and 120+ kg) significantly benefited (p<.05) from using knee wraps (+1.3, +4.8, and +6.9 kg respectively). For the lighter weight classes (59, 66, and 74 kg) knee wraps appeared significantly detrimental (p<.05) to the 1RM squat (-8.4, -4.4, and -3.6 kg), respectively. Only the heaviest female weight class (84 kg+) saw a significant benefit (p<.05) in the use of wraps with a net gain in 1RM squat of 4.5 kg. Again, wraps were shown to be significantly detrimental (p<.05) to the lighter weight classes (47, 52, 57, and 63 kg) with a net loss in 1RM squat (-3, -5.3, -3.6, and -3.3 kg), respectively. Considering these findings, it is suggested that only males in the heaviest three weight classes (105, 120, and 120+ kg), as well as females in the heaviest weight class (84+ kg), stand to gain any benefit from the use of knee wraps in competition.

Published: November 2023

This study investigated the predictive validity and reliability of the load-velocity relationship with the one-repetition maximum test (1RM) in power clean from the knee exercise (PC). Initially, 12 healthy young males, with no PC experience, underwent eight sessions to learn the PC technique. After the learning period, the participants visited the laboratory on four more occasions with intervals between the visits from 72 to 96 h. The first two sessions were dedicated to the actual 1RM tests, while the last two sessions were performed to measure the barbell’s load-velocity relationship at 30%, 45%, 60%, 75%, and 90% of PC 1RM. The highest peak velocity recorded at each load was used to establish the linear regression equation and, consequently, to predict 1RM values. As a result, a low validity was observed between the highest actual 1RM value and the predicted 1RM in sessions 1 and 2 (typical errors = 3.6 to 5.0 kg, coefficients of variation = 6.03 to 8.21%, effect sizes = -1.23 to -1.00, and Bland-Altman bias = 8.5 to 11.7 kg). For reliability, higher measurement errors (intraclass correlation coefficient, typical error, coefficient of variation, and width of limits of agreement at 95%) were observed for the predicted 1RM compared to the actual 1RM test. In conclusion, the load-velocity relationship was not able to predict the 1RM value with high accuracy in the PC from the knee. Moreover, the predicted 1RM presented inferior reliability than the actual 1RM test.
A Note on Ball-Point Pens
Authors: McEldowney Dennis
Published: November 2023

Jane Stafford, in Kotare Vol.2, No.1 (May 1999), makes the following observation on Ngaio Marsh’s early play, Little Housebound (p.30, note 6): ‘The name and address are written in ball-point pen, rather than the ink of Marsh’s dedication. My assumption is that this indicates that it was written later than 1922.’ There is no need to ‘assume’: it could not have been written before 1938, when Biro patented his design, and is unlikely to have been written until after the Second World War, when ball-point pens became generally available in NewZealand. (I judge from a notebook with dated entries that I acquired my first in1949.) This is not a trivial point. It would be crucial to the dating of some manuscripts, and literary scholars should take note of it.
Model-Based Clustering using Adjacent-Categories Logit Models via Finite Mixtures
Authors:   , Li Lingyu
Published: November 2023

Many researchers treat ordinal variables as continuous or nominal. Losing ordering information makes statistical analysis and inference weaker, which is not ideal when we try to get as much information as possible from our data. Clustering for ordinal data faces many challenges as well. Traditional clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering (Murtagh, 1983; Murtagh and Contreras, 2012), centroid-based clustering, and association analysis (Strehl et al., 1999) are not likelihood-based, and statistical inference is not available. In this dissertation, we apply clustering via finite mixtures to the adjacent-categories logit model (Agresti, 1999) for ordinal data, an extension of the likelihood-based clustering methods in Pledger and Arnold (2014); Fernandez et al. (2016).

Our data form a matrix where the rows are subjects, and the columns are a set of ordinal responses by those subjects to, say, the questions in a questionnaire. By implementing model-based clustering via a finite mixture model, the subjects (the rows of the matrix) and/or the questions (the columns of the matrix) are grouped into a finite number of clusters. The Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm is utilised to estimate the model parameters. Several different stopping criteria for the EM algorithm are proposed and studied for our model. Additionally, asymptotic standard errors are provided by the standard information-based method. For model selection, six commonly used information criteria are evaluated through an empirical study. After information criteria are used to select the best model, the randomised quantile residual is proposed for model diagnostic and model checking. About the applications, we illustrate the models through two real-life data examples.

Authors: Jair Paredes Aguilar Cristian , Francisco Assis Shikida Pery , Arruda Coronel Daniel
Published: November 2023

As capacidades tecnológicas são as habilidades de utilizar, adaptar, gerenciar seus recursos e tecnologias para produção e gerar inovações. A suinocultura industrial possui especificidades que demandam parâmetros coerentes com seus aspectos econômico-produtivos e tecnológicos para avaliação de suas capacidades tecnológicas. Por meio da abordagem qualitativa, utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental sobre capacidades tecnológicas e da indústria de carne suína. Para isto, além do approach teórico, utilizou-se os trabalhos de Sanjaya Lall (1987; 1992; LALL et al., 1994) como base para estruturar o: Modelo de Matriz de capacidades tecnológicas revisitada para a indústria de carne suína. Foram incorporados novos parâmetros e o novo âmbito de Inovação Sistêmica, que complementam e tornam a matriz adequada para analisar indústrias de carne. A matriz resultante estabelece quatro âmbitos tecnológicos (linhas): Investimento, Produção/Operação, Inovação Sistêmica e Relacionamento com a Economia. Cada âmbito possui parâmetros para identificação e categorização do estágio (colunas) Básico, Intermediário e Avançado das capacidades tecnológicas. Este trabalho contribuí para estabelecer um arcabouço teórico-empírico, que permita aprofundar a análise de resultados e esforços que as agroindústrias vêm realizando no desenvolvimento de suas capacidades. O Modelo de Matriz revisitada proporciona o instrumental adequado para essa análise, pois privilegia as características específicas deste tipo de indústria, bem como possibilita trazer novos parâmetros para melhorar a análise de capacidades tecnológicas de inovação. Destarte, salienta-se que o novo modelo de análise desenvolvido serve de base para que outras agroindústrias, de abate e processamento de carne, como de frango e bovino, possam ser estudadas em trabalhos futuros.

The purpose of this study is to explain language education development research for improving student comprehension in learning science. This study also reviews the definition of these strategies, identifies factors that contribute to improving students' comprehension, and conducts a computational bibliometric review analysis to determine the efficacy of these approaches using Google Scholar with keywords "Language" and "Learning Science" from 2019 to 2023. There are also explanations for formal and informal learning, as well as educational levels for researching techniques and developing curriculum. The use of technology in media and laboratories is also a significant factor in increasing students' literacy and language impact. Language and student characteristics, motivation, teacher-student relationships, therapy, and psychological conditions are all inextricably linked. We also included information about language barriers for students with special needs, as well as new technologies that improve language learning, in which these can be factors in increasing student’s understanding of learning science. The bibliometric analysis results show that the trend of language research in learning science is decreasing year after year. This is due to the possibility that the focus of educational research has shifted to other areas, such as educational technology, science learning, or educational policy. The co-occurrence analysis results show several keywords that are frequently researched and should be paid attention to, including "language model," "natural language processing," "deep learning," "student," and "language learning." These keywords denote important parameters that can improve the learning experience because they enable personalized, interactive, adaptive educational interventions, particularly in language learning contexts, by adapting content and feedback to each student's needs and preferences. This paper will be useful to educators in better understanding the current state of affairs concerning the importance of language in engineering teaching and learning.

The fauna of Yakutia is rich and diverse, but the epizootic situation of the republic with regard to infectious diseases of wild animals remains poorly studied. There are practically no reports in the literature on the study of the microbiota of wild ungulates of the Arctic and Subarctic. The study of the microbiome of wild animals is not only relevant but also informative research, as the microbiota is a sensitive indicator that responds to many factors of the external and internal environment of the body. The aim is to study the microbiome of wild animals in the Arctic and Subarctic zones of Russia. The article presents the results of the study of the intestinal microbiota of Siberian roe deer. The biological material (thin and thick sections of the intestine (lumen and wall microbiota)) was studied. The generally accepted dilution method was used for quantitative counting of microorganisms. Analysis of the results showed that in the studied Siberian roe deer (43 heads), aerobic bacilli of the genus Bacillus dominate in the normal microbiota (wall and lumen) up to 88–100% (respectively), the main representatives of the intestinal normoflora are significantly inferior to them are: bifidobacteria (61.3–68.1%), lactobacilli (36.3–63.6%), enterococci (59–66%), and lactosepositive escherichia (54.5–59%). Quantitatively, the intestinal microbiocenosis of roe deer showed 135 a comparatively high number of bacilli – up to 104 CFU/g, the number of lactobacilli, enterococci and lactose-positive escherichia was much less, and bifidobacteria were registered in a significantly low amount – up to 101 CFU/g. Examination of material taken from the carcasses of dead roe deer revealed the absence of representatives of normal microflora, except for lactose-positive escherichia, which were found in the wall contents. Microbiological examination of the post-mortem material (parenchymal organs and intestines) revealed potential enteropathogens – lactose-negative escherichia, which, were further identified as Salmonella abortus equi, with high virulence to laboratory animals. The conducted studies showed pronounced intestinal dysbiosis in fallen roe deer, which is characterised by the absence of the main representatives of normal microflora along with the predominance of a large number of potential enteropathogens up to 104 CFU/g. The presence of a highly virulent causative agent of salmonellosis in the intestinal microbiota of roe deer indicates their etiological role in the cause of animal deaths. Thus, summarizing the results of the conducted studies, it can be concluded that aerobic bacilli of the genus Bacillus dominate in the intestinal microbiota of the Siberian roe deer and they have the main protective function against pathogenic microorganisms.

In the studies, hatched eggs from 39-week-old meat and laying hens of the autosex cross “Dominant CZ” from the parental flock of LLC “Agrokormservis Plus” (Pyatigorsk) were used in three-tier cage batteries: “Sussex D-104” (“D-104”) – ♂ and ♀ Sussex, “Blue D-107” (“D-107”) – ♂ Andalusian Blue and ♀ Black-striped Plymouth Rock (PP), “Black D-849” (“D-849”) – ♂ Black-striped Plymouth Rock (PP) and ♀ Rhode Island. The shelf life of the eggs before incubation is three days. All the eggs were marked with a serial number and weight prior to incubation. Incubation of eggs from 144 to 150 pcs. in the group was carried out in the scientific and educational vivarium of the Stavropol State Agrarian University (SSAU) in farm, combined, modernized incubators “Stimul-1000” – six incubation trays and three output trays. Eggs in the control and experimental groups were turned after 45 minutes until the embryos pecked the shell. During the period of pipping, hatching and incubation, three hatchers in the experimental groups were placed one above the other with a gap (30% of the area). The top tray was covered with a standard mesh lid, while the middle and bottom trays were covered with specially made mesh lids to prevent chicks from falling out. In the experimental groups, on the 8th day, a power cut-off was simulated for six hours and, accordingly, the temperature on the surface of the eggs first increased and then decreased due to the fan being switched off. A short-term violation of the temperature regime for the incubation of eggs of meat and laying chicks “Dominant TsZ” reduces the hatching of chicks and the body index of embryos before pecking the shell, and in day-old chicks it increases the weight of the residual yolk with the yolk sac and the ratio of body weight to the length of the intestine.

Citrus fruits are the world’s leading fruit crops. To meet the growing demand and increase the area under these crops, it is necessary to produce high quality planting material. The main method of producing seedlings of cultivated citrus varieties is budding. When using this technique, it is necessary to ensure reliable protection of the joint of the components. There is a lack of information on this issue in the literature. The present study was conducted in the suburb of Jalalabad, Nangarhar, Afghanistan, at a modern nursery. The first experiment (Citrus sinensis L.) included the following variants: 1. binding the scions with polyethylene tape without covering the buds; 2. binding the scions with polyethylene tape covering the buds; 3. binding the scions with polyethylene tape without covering the buds + painting the binding with white paint; 4. binding the scions with polyethylene tape covering the buds + painting the binding with white paint; 5. binding the scions with the innovative adhesive tape “Buddy Tape” covering the buds; 6. binding the scions with the innovative adhesive tape “Buddy Tape” without covering the buds + painting the binding with white paint. The second experiment involved three options for limequat (Citrus Aurantiifolia x Citrus Japonica): 1. binding the scions with polyethylene tape without covering the buds; 2. binding the scions with polyethylene tape covering the buds; 3. binding the scions with the innovative adhesive tape “Buddy Tape” covering the buds. The study results showed that the binding materials, the method of binding and the use of painting had a significant impact on the survival of scions, the budding time of the scions, the development of shoots and leaf surface on the scion component. In the experiment with sweet orange, the maximum survival rate (91.64%) was observed when binding the scions with the innovative adhesive tape “Buddy Tape” covering the buds, and the minimum rate (77.52%) was noted when binding the scions with polyethylene tape without covering the buds + painting the binding with white paint. The studies showed that the binding materials of the limequat scions had a significant effect on the budding time, the number of leaves on the shoot, the length of the shoot and the survival rate of the scion buds. The minimum budding time was found when binding the scions with the innovative adhesive tape “Buddy Tape” covering the buds, while the maximum budding time was noted when binding the scions with polyethylene tape covering the buds. The maximum survival rate was observed when binding the scions with the innovative adhesive tape “Buddy Tape” covering the buds, and the minimum one was when binding the scions with polyethylene tape covering the buds.

Published: November 2023

The ampelographic collection of the Anapa Zonal Experimental Station of Viticulture and Winemaking is a research platform for breeding work. It consists of a large number of varieties of different ecological and geographical origin. At present, the gene pool of varieties in the collection consists of 4964 varieties, and it is replenished every year. These varieties and hybrids are used in the breeding process to create new, high-quality varieties of table and wine grapes. For successful breeding work in the ampelographic collection of the Anapa Zonal Experimental Station of Viticulture and Winemaking, variety studies are conducted to find new donors and sources of breeding-valuable traits, as well as resistance to biotic and abiotic environmental factors. This article presents the main results of the long-term work carried out by scientists-breeders at the Experimental Station to study and identify donors and sources of resistance to phylloxera, the main pest of grapes. The objects of research were the donor grape varieties of the selection of the Anapa Zonal Experimental Station of Viticulture and Winemaking, tolerant to phylloxera, as well as the source varieties of phylloxera resistance from various geographical zones. Modern programmes and methods were used in this research, in addition to traditional breeding techniques. The article presents two donors and six sources of phylloxera resistance, gives their brief characterisation, shows the dynamics of the main agrobiological and biochemical indicators for 2019–2021. Over the past three years, the breeders of the Anapa experimental Station have received more than 700 grapevine seedlings of a new hybrid generation, the fourth part of which are parental donors and sources of the varieties studied in this work.

Published: November 2023

Some researchers have found the influence of sterile cytoplasm on the manifestation of biological and valuable breeding traits in sorghum. In addition, some authors detect the influence of sterile cytoplasm, while others describe the absence of differences between F1 hybrids obtained from CMS lines with the same nuclear genome and differing only in the type of sterile cytoplasm. In this context, the aim of the research was to determine the effect of sterile cytoplasms A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 and meteorological conditions of growing F1 hybrids of grain sorghum on the main valuable breeding traits. In this work, F1 hybrids were obtained on the basis of CMS lines with the Karlik 4v genome and six types of sterile cytoplasm, and the Vostorg line was used as a pollinator. The studies were carried out in 2016–2018, with different hydrothermal regimes of plant growing seasons (GTK=0.51–1.01). As a result of the experiment, for the first time an increase in plant height during maturation was found in the A5 Karlik 4v/Vostorg hybrid (123.3 cm) compared to hybrids on cytoplasms A1, A2, A3, A4, A6 (118.0 cm); a decrease in the flag leaf area was found in the A3 Karlik 4v/ hybrid (104.4 cm2) compared to hybrids on cytoplasms A2, A4, A5 and A6 (130.3–136.3 cm2). On average, during the test period, hybrids on A1 and A5 cytoplasms produced a higher biomass yield (18.53–18.57 t/ha) than hybrids on A4 and A6 cytoplasms (13.76–15.91 t/ha), but the differences were not significant. At the same time, the contribution of the factor “CMS type” to the totalvariability of breeding traits ranged from 1.4 to 14.0%; “meteorological conditions” of the year – 24.0–58.9%. When breeding sorghum hybrids using genetically different types of sterile cytoplasm, it is advisable to include a CMS line on the A5 cytoplasm in the crossing according to the complex of breeding characteristics.

The article presents the results of a three-year study of the combinatory ability of sunflower (HelianthusannuusL.) varieties on the trait “basket’s area” by the topcross method. The experiment was conducted in 2016–2018 in the fields of Russian Research, Design and Technology Institute of Sorghum and Corn. The experiment was repeated three times. The plant density was 4.5 plants per m2. The area of the plots was 7.7 m2 (two rows 5.5 m long; row spacing was 70 cm). The initial material for the study consisted of 43 samples of domestic and foreign selection. Three sterile lines (KSP232, KSP228, SE16b) were used as testers. The meteorological conditions in the years of the experiment were different. The hydrothermal coefficient (May-August) was 0.481 in 2016, 0.975 in 2017, and 0.521 in 2018. Sunflower varieties with high effects of common combining ability (CCA) were identified: 2016 for Veydelevsky, Melin, Krepysh, Fortimi; 2017 – Patriot, Fortimi; 2018 – Sholohovsky, Fortimi. Relatively stable high effects of CCA were found for the Fortimi genotype. The variety Lubo had the highest dispersion of specific combining ability (SCA) for three years of the experiment, and the Fortimi genotype had relatively high and stable indicators. These varieties can serve as a basis to create hybrids with high heterosis. Among the testers, a high effect of CCA was observed in YuV16b, and a high variance in KSP228. The effects of SCA of experimental hybrids varied from year to year. The cross KSP232/Lubo showed high values in years with higher humidity at the beginning of vegetation. The F1 hybrid KSP228/Lyubo demonstrated high effects of SCA during the years of contrasting moisture availability (2017 and 2018). The experimental hybrids KSP228/Krepysh, YuV16b/Svetlana, KSP232/Stepnoy 81, KSP228/Patriot, YuV16b/Fortimi, KSP228/YuVS3 and YuV16b/YuVS3 showed low but consistently positive values under different environmental conditions. According to the ratio of the mean squares of the deviations of the CCA/SCA, the additive effects of the genes predominated over the dominant ones.

Published: November 2023

The article considers the concept of a communicative situation as an autonomous fragment of dialogic discourse. The study was conducted on the example of the communicative situation of a speech act (hereinafter referred to as RA) of a sentence. A communicative situation is understood as a microdialogue caused by the realization of the intention of the speaker. We analyze the general meaning of the incentive RA, its semantic types, such as request, proposal, demand, advice, order, etc. and dwell in detail on the ways of formal implementation of the communicative situation of the proposal. Such situation includes several structural elements. 1. Semantic subtypes of RA offers: a) offer of joint action; b) offer of interaction and c) kind offer of help. 2. Each subtype of the sentence is presented in its grammatical varieties, as well as modifications using introductory phrases and particles. 3. The interlocutor’s reactions to each subtype of the sentence speech act, or communicative. The article considers only the communicatives expressing a positive reaction of consent.

education and considered fundamental for improving patient outcomes. EBP principles have thus become deeply rooted in higher education curricula, but only in recent years has this begun to permeate the world of paramedic practice. Despite this paradigm, the impact of EBP may be limited because
ambulance clinicians may struggle with implementation, as a variety of barriers influence translation and application.Methods: A survey study aimed to gain insight into the epistemological and metacognitive barriers impacting student experience in order to help improve teaching
and learning practices.Results: A sample of 64 students, across two different undergraduate paramedic science programmes, were recruited. Of these, 70% of BSc (Hons) students versus 33% of DipHE students agreed to some extent or greater that EBP represented minimal benefit in real-world
practice due to Trust policy and the guidelines set out by the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee (Welch’s t = 2.571, df = 26, p = 0.016 two-sided). Furthermore, 25% felt standard operating procedures negatively impacted their ability to implement EBP, and 39% reported
their EBP learning had improved their ability to implement improved levels of patient care.Conclusion: A disparity between theoretical learning and EBP implementation was identified. EBP may not dovetail with standard operating procedure within UK ambulance Trusts, resulting in
confusion among student paramedics as to the true worth of EBP.

Sektor transportasi salah satu penyumbang emisi udara terbesar di Indonesia. Selain berkontribusi terhadap pemanasan global, pencemaran udara juga dapat menurunkan kualitas kesehatan masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengestimasi beban pencemaran udara dari aktivitas transportasi di ruas Jalan Keude Cunda, Kota Lhokseumawe. Penelitian diawali dengan survey lapangan untuk menentukan jumlah kendaraan yang melintas pada jam puncak selama 7 hari sepanjang 400 meter. Kendaraan diklasifikasikan menjadi sepeda motor, mobil pertalite dan mobil solar. Selanjutnya, dilakukan estimasi beban emisi pencemaran dengan metode Tier-1 dan Tier-2. Melalui metode Tier-1, untuk jenis BBM pertalite dan solar diestimasi menghasilkan beban emisi CO2 sebesar 99.178 ton/tahun, CH4 28,8 ton/tahun dan N2O 9,2 ton/tahun. Sedangkan dengan metode Tier-2, beban emisi CO sebesar 13,8 ton/tahun, HC 4 ton/tahun, NOx 0,7 ton/tahun, PM10 0,2 ton/tahun dan SO2 0,04 ton/tahun. Aksi mitigasi dengan program Car Free Day diestimasi dapat menurunkan beban emisi sebesar 6% setiap tahunnya.

Abstract

 

The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to air emissions in Indonesia. Besides contributing to global warming, air pollution can also reduce the public health quality. This study aims to estimate the air pollution load from transportation activities on Jalan Keude Cunda, Lhokseumawe City. First, a field survey was conducted to determine the number of vehicles passing during peak hours for 7 days with mileage 400 meters. Vehicles are classified into motorcycles, gasoline cars and diesel cars. Secondly, estimation of pollution emission loads is carried out using the Tier-1 and Tier-2 methods. Lastly, emission load reduction is predicted through a program mitigation, namely the Car Free Day. Through the Tier-1 method, gasoline and diesel fuel are estimated to produce a CO2 emission load of 99,178 tons/year, CH4 28.8 tons/year and N2O 9.2 tons/year. Whereas with the Tier-2 method, the CO emission load is 13.8 tons/year, HC 4 tons/year, NOx 0.7 tons/year, PM10 0.2 tons/year and SO2 0.04 tons/year. The Car Free Day mitigation actions will contribute to reducing the emission load by 6% annually.

SUSTAINING THE CULTURAL HERITAGE: HANDLOOMS IN HIMACHAL PRADESH
Authors: Bhandari Babita
Published: November 2023

Traditional textiles in India have been a reflection of its rich cultural heritage for ages. In today’s global world, these products have been extensively commercialized to the extent of losing their authenticity. The artisan communities need to be abreast with current market trends in order to create a demand for their products. The empowerment of the craft ecosystem demands sincere efforts on the part of craft practitioners to facilitate product diversification and wider market reach. However, artisanal products need to be put at the forefront of any design intervention without losing the essence of the original craft.Himachal Pradesh is not only rich in biodiversity but also in various crafts like metal, weaving, knitting, and painting. In this paper, an effort has been made to catalog the products of traditional Kullu Handloom weaving with the raw materials used, the process followed, motifs and colour palette etc. Moreover, initiatives taken by Ms. Anshul Malhotra, a well-known craft entrepreneur in Himachal Pradesh for popularizing the traditional woven designs of the Kullu and Kinnaur region in India and abroad have been reported. Design interventions made by combining new colors and exploring different combinations of yarns and weaves by Ms Anshul Malhotra would serve as a guiding source for the design and artisan communities alike.

Reading comprehension is one of the four language skills in language learning that must be possessed by every human being, especially students. These skills include speaking, reading, listening, and writing. In the elementary school environment, understanding reading in Indonesian is a challenge for students whose mother tongue is Sundanese. Students with different ethnic backgrounds have distinctive learning styles and language learning strategies. This study used 100 students in class V, consisting of 50 students from SD Negeri Sempur and 50 students from SDN Tanjungsari, as respondents who filled out the questionnaire, which was analyzed using SEM-PLS. This study shows that there are factors that do not affect reading comprehension skills in fifth grade elementary school students at SD Negeri Sempur and SD Negeri I Tanjungsari, namely language aptitude, self-efficacy in language learning, and self-regulation in language, because of the construct path with a T value. Statistics below 1.96 with a p value greater than 0.05 mean that the path is declared to have no significant effect.

AN EXAMPLE OF RURAL MEMORIES OF ITIES: TEKKEKÖY COUNTY (SAMSUN)

Günümüzde şehir yerleşmesi olarak nitelendirilen birçok yerleşmenin geçmişine bakıldığında kırsal geçmişin baskın olduğu, kırsal yerleşme iken şehir yerleşmesine dönüştüğü görülmektedir. Bu dönüşüm yerleşmelerin nüfus istatistiklerine
göre değişebileceği gibi yöneticilerin alacağı kararla idari kimliğinde yaşanan bir değişimle de gerçekleşebilmektedir. Kuşkusuz Türkiye’deki kırsal nüfus üzerindeki en büyük değişim 2012 yılında kabul edilen, 2013 yılında hayata
geçirilen 6360 Sayılı Büyükşehir Yasası ile olmuştur. Bu yasa ile Türkiye’deki 30 büyükşehir belediyesindeki köy yerleşmelerinin tüzel kişilikleri kaldırılmış ve mahalleye dönüştürülmüştür. Büyükşehirlerin idari yapılarına yansıyan
bu değişim, ilçelerdeki kırsal nüfusuda etkilemiş ve bu ilçelerin kırsal nüfusları 2013 yılı itibariyle ortadan kaldırılmıştır. Bu ilçelerden biri olan Tekkeköy’ün 1990 yılındaki kırsal nüfusu 37.379 olurken, şehir nüfusu 11.351’dir.
Takip eden yıllarda her ne kadar Tekkeköy’ün kırsal nüfusu azalsa da 2012 yılında ilçedeki köy nüfusu 11.897 olarak kayıtlara geçmiştir. 2013 yılında kırsal nüfusunun tamamının şehir nüfusuna dönüştüğü Tekkeköy’de de 31 köyün tamamı
tüzel kişiliklerini kaybetmiş ve mahalle sayısı 63’e yükselmiştir. Köyden mahalleye dönüştürülen bu yerleşmelerin büyük bir kısmında hâlâ sağlık ocağı, okul, postane gibi temel hizmetler verilememektedir. Bu hizmetleri almak için
Tekkeköy’deki 19 Mayıs, Hürriyet, Cumhuriyet gibi eski şehir nüfusu olarak kabul edilen mahallelere gitmek zorunda kalan insanlar kendini kırsal kimlik içerisinden çıkaramamakta, şehirli nüfus olarak görememektedir. Aldığı hizmeti
yeterli bulmayan, şehirsel yerleşmelerde var olan fonksiyonel donatılardan mahrum alan bu büyükşehirli yeni tip mahalle nüfusları, kır ve şehir nüfusu arasında sıkışmış yerleşmeler olarak kimliklerini devam ettirmektedirler. Kuşkusuz
bu sıkışmışlık insanları yaşadıkları mahallelerden göçe sürüklediği gibi kırsal yerleşmelerde hâlihazırda yürütülen ekonomik faaliyetlerin de zamanla yok olmasına neden olmaktadır.

Kabupaten Kebumen memiliki potensi sumberdaya ikan yang besar dengan posisi wilayah perairan yang langsung berhadapan dengan Samudera Hindia. Kondisi saat ini, aktivitas perikanan sudah berlangsung dengan baik dengan adanya 7 tempat pendaratan ikan dan 1 pelabuhan perikanan pantai. Nelayan masih mengalami kendala dengan keterbatasan prasarana di pelabuhan, sarana kapal/perahu yang masih berukuran kecil, cuaca dan gelombang besar pada saat musim barat, keberadaan ikan yang bersifat musiman, dan belum memiliki kemampuan untuk dapat mendeteksi keberadaan ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mendeskripsikan kegiatan yang telah dilakukan saat ini; (2) menentukan faktor kekuatan dan kelemahan internal, serta peluang dan ancaman eksternal; (3) menyusun strategi peningkatan aktivitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produksi ikan utama di Kabupaten Kebumen yaitu lobster, layur, dan bawal putih. Ketiga komoditi ini merupakan komoditi ekspor. Secara umum produksi dan nilai produksi dari ketiga komoditi tersebut terus mengalami peningkatan pada periode pada 2017-2021. Strategi untuk peningkatan aktivitas perikanan yaitu pengembangan teknologi dengan menggunakan kapal yang lebih besar, peningkatan sumberdaya manusia, diversifikasi pengolahan produk, dan peningkatan kapabilitas nelayan terkait dengan pengelolaan keuangan dan pemasaran.
