Published: January 2023

Background: With the continuous uprise of spinal instrumentations within the global front, the complications they harbinger may have multispectral effects upon the patients as well as their caretakers. These are of prime significance in the context of low and middle-income nations. There is however drought of studies pertaining to the same in our subcontinent.
Materials and methods: A retrospective descriptive study was undertaken to study the incidence and patterns of early and late major complications among 300 patients undergoing spinal instrumentation from the hospital database of the College of Medical Sciences (CMS), in Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal.
Results: Trauma comprised 63.33% of cases in the study. 40% of the study cohorts were either in the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) ‘A’ or ‘B’ neurological status. The incidence of major complications in our study cohort was 20.33%. The posterior-only surgical approach was undertaken in 200 (66.67%). Surgical site infection was the most common type of complication observed (6.67%). Hardware-related complications were observed in 5.67%) of cases. The incidence of re-operation was 2.67%. The mortality rate observed in our study was 2%.
Conclusion: Adequate preoperative planning, proper optimization of the patient, and adoption of procedure-specific, risk-adjusted predictive models may be pivotal for nullifying complications adherent to spinal instrumentation.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Although, there is a current regulatory framework for optimal manual handling of loads to preserve health conditions in the industrial sector, technical assessment and the use of certain instruments are still required for the diagnosis of occupational hazards. This study aimed to identify the occupational hazards associated with manual load handling in industry workers and estimate those resulting from postural stress.
Methods:  Fifty-two (52) industry workers took part in this cross-sectional study. All participants were evaluated using the Manual Handling Guide and the Reba assessment tool.  Subjects were characterized, and risks associated with different tasks were detected.
Results: 59.6% of workers were between 18 and 45 years old. Lifting, lowering, and transporting loads activities had a repetitive task risk of 94%, exceeding the weight limit in 85.7% of cases. Pushing and pulling activities, mostly showed a working postural risk of 82% and a high perception of initial effort (Borg> 8). Reba score warned to intervene immediately in both types of tasks.
Conclusion: Risk from the manual handling of loads found in this study constitutes an alert that suggests reviewing compliance with the current regulation, as well as effective use of working pauses and the improvement of strategies to minimize physical efforts used by workers.
Solid waste workers in India and the COVID-19 pandemic: A Review of Intersecting challenges
Authors: Ramitha K.L.
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Municipal garbage/refuse, sludge, industrial and commercial waste, etc. is termed Solid Waste (SW) and those who handle such waste are SW workers. But the COVID-19 pandemic has hit them hard. SW workers play a vital role in waste management to safeguard and promote public health. But they are often unappreciated and the various health risks and vulnerabilities associated with waste handling are overlooked. This study aimed to review the working conditions and morbidities of SW workers highlighting the longstanding challenges before and after the onset of COVID-19 in India.
Methods: Databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar were used for the inclusion of articles. Drawing from the literature on the working conditions and morbidities of SW workers in India alongside grey literature and news reports by electronic media during the pandemic, this paper highlights the longstanding challenges of SW workers. 
Results: The health morbidities and structural challenges due to caste, and class that were reported as being faced by SW workers across the studies have worsened at the onset of COVID-19. There is a multiplying effect of their vulnerability due to the disadvantages of caste and class. Due to power dynamics, they were forced to work without proper wages and appropriate healthcare resources. Many incidents across the country reported stigma and discrimination; poor access and utilization of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) among SW workers resulted in infections and deaths due to the pandemic. Lack of proper data on COVID-19 infected SW workers; lack of proper certification had halted their insurance claims.
Conclusion: This paper noted the multiplying effect of long-standing vulnerabilities that were exposed during the pandemic. Proper maintenance of health records and a sustainable employee grievance redressal mechanism are essential. The need of the hour is to focus on strategies to improve their working conditions along with policies to protect their dignity and empower them.

Beveragraphy: Revisiting the Typology of Food Writing from the Perspective of Culinary Linguistics
Authors: Sartika Yustin , Purnomo Luthfie Arguby , Untari Lilik , Purnama Lukfianka Sanjaya
Published: January 2023

From the perspectives of culinary linguistics, food writing typology, as proposed by Gerhardt, circumnavigates around food recipes, restaurant menus, and food labeling. This study attempts to propose the fourth food writing type, beveragraphy, which deals with beveragraphs or writings on drinking wares and the drink or liquid itself. This phenomenon of beveragraphy has caught Indonesian coffee shops by storm. To prove the existence of beveragraphy, we investigated this type of food writing by visiting 20 coffee shops, examined 60 beveragraphs, and interviewed the coffee shop managers, baristas, and customers. To prove that beveragraphy deserves a scholarly attention in the studies of food writing, we attempted to reveal its characteristics and functions by implementing the theory of food writing by Gerhardt, text typology by Reiss, meta-narrative loss in food discourse by Srinivas, and archetype theory in brand setting by Mark and Pearson. The findings indicate that beveragraphy is characterized by spatial restrictive writing and it functions as narrative and archetype synchronization. Future studies might employ the findings as a point of departure in food writing discourse.
Arabic Slang Language Use in Pesantren: An Interpretive Case Study
Authors: Batmang Batmang
Published: January 2023

Although research on the use of slang language has been widely studied, there is a paucity of studies that specifically looks at Arabic slang language among santri community in Indonesia. To fill such a void, the present study aims at examining the use of Arabic slang language among santri community in a modern pesantren in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, and the factors that influence the use of such a language. Nested in an interpretive case study with data analyzed using Allan and Burridge’s (2006) slang language framework, the findings of this study suggest emerging types of slang used among the santri, which are in the forms of overlapping, clipping, acronyms, word-for-word translation, and the addition of local enclise elements. Such a language use was exclusively influenced by habits, creativity, and simplification in communication. Implications of the study show that the use of certain Arabic vocabulary can signal how a foreign language is acquired outside of the class

The Nossa Senhora das Mercês cathedral is located in the city of Porto Nacional, Tocantins state. This rustic and impressive church was built on the Tocantins River right margin between the years of 1894 and 1903, by the French Dominican friars, supported by local population efforts. This cathedral exhibits a romanesque architectural style being constructed using local raw materials, mainly lateritic fragments (ferruginized sandstones), ceramic bricks and mortar prepared with soil, wood stove ashes and grasses. Despite of the well-known high chemical stability of these rocks due to iron oxides and hydroxides minerals composition, some deterioration features were observed, as for example, the vegetation and micro-organisms communities growing on the surface of cathedral external walls, among other findings. Such biological activity promotes the weathering acceleration leading to detachment of building materials. To foment the preventive maintenance and the proper use of restoration materials and techniques, it is imperative to carry out studies about the geological provenance, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of these constructive materials.

Authors: Draman Assoc Prof Dr Nani , Norwati Daud , Bakar Mujahid , Ahmad Kartiniwati
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Prevalence of hypertension in Malaysia has been increasing over the years. Despite varieties of treatment, a large proportion of hypertensive patients still have uncontrolled blood pressure. Several non-pharmacological approaches have been used as non-pharmacological management to reduce blood pressure. This study intended to determine the effect of listening to Quran recitation on blood pressure among Muslim patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Material and Method: This study was a randomized controlled trial involving 202 Muslim patients with uncontrolled hypertension. They were randomly allocated to either listening to Quran recitation group or control group. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate were measured at baseline and after the intervention. Results: In the intervention group, the mean changes in systolic BP and diastolic BP were -5.9 and -3.8mmHg respectively while for heart rate was -4.06 bpm. In the control group, the mean changes in systolic BP and diastolic BP were -1.68 and -1.84 mmHg respectively while for heart rate was -1.39 bpm. ANCOVA analysis showed that the mean changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate between intervention and control group were statistically significant (P values = 0.001). Conclusions: This study showed a reduction of blood pressure immediately after listening to Quran recitation. However, a longer study on listening to Quran needs to be done to show a sustained decrease of BP of the patient.

A 15-year-old girl presented with progressive abdominal distention for four months duration. An initial assessment by primary care and gynaecological teams concluded that the ascites as the cause based on the clinical and initial ultra sonographic findings. However, an abdominal radiography revealed that a huge mature cystic teratoma as the actual cause of the presenting issue. Despite being a rare incidence, this case report highlighted why a high index of suspicion of ovarian pathology in large abdominal fluid accumulation in the paediatric population should be raised. The case report also highlighted the value of abdominal radiography, particularly in a primary care setting facility in differentiating intra-abdominal mass and ascites, especially when the massive volume of ovarian mass hampered the ultrasound findings. Though it is not specific, it may improve accuracy of initial diagnosis leading to an appropriate investigation with timely referral to the appropriate department. The unusual component of this case was the ‘pseudoascites' presentation and the literature on the detail of distinction between the two conditions from the primary aspect point.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a aceitabilidade sensorial de pizza adicionada de diferentes teores de Farinha de Berinjela (FB). Foram desenvolvidas 5 formulações de pizza: F1 (0%, padrão), F2 (2,6%), F3 (5,2%), F4 (7,8%) e F5 (10,4%) de FB. Participaram da avaliação sensorial 62 avaliadores de 7 a 10 anos. A adição de níveis superiores a 5,2% de FB reduziu a aceitabilidade sensorial da pizza para os parâmetros de aparência, sabor, textura, cor, aceitação global e intenção de compra em relação ao produto padrão. A formulação F3 foi aquela com maior teor de FB e com aceitação similar a padrão para todos os parâmetros, com exceção do aroma que foi similar para todas as formulações (p>0,05). Teores mais elevados de cinzas, proteína, carboidrato, energia e fibra alimentar, e menores de lipídio e umidade foram verificados em F3. Conclui-se que um nível de adição de até 5,2% de FB em pizza é bem aceito por crianças em idade escolar. Assim, a farinha de berinjela pode ser adicionada em pizza e produtos similares, podendo ser oferecida ao público infantil com altas expectativas de comercialização.

As ações dos jogadores nos fundamentos técnicos do futsal são regidas por capacidades cognitivas que estão associadas com o tempo de experiência em crianças. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi comparar fundamentos técnicos em escolares praticantes de futsal com diferentes tempos de experiência da categoria sub-11. 20 crianças praticantes de futsal (19 do sexo masculino e uma do sexo feminino), com idade entre nove e onze anos, participantes de uma escolinha de futsal foram divididas em dois grupos de praticantes: com menor tempo de experiência (G1); e, com maior tempo de experiência (G2), todos em fase de aprendizagem e de treinamento do futsal. Ambos grupos foram avaliados pelo teste Skills, adaptado ao futsal. Foram obtidas e comparadas a idade, massa corporal, estatura, condução de bola, domínio de bola, precisão do chute e precisão de passe com o pé direito e esquerdo. A avaliação ocorreu individualmente com um período de adaptação da criança as tarefas do teste. Comparações das variáveis entre os grupos foram realizadas entre o tempo de experiência e os fundamentos técnicos foram testadas com α de 5%. Os achados deste estudo indicam que todos os fundamentos técnicos apresentaram valores similares (p > 0,05). Assim, na categoria sub-11, o tempo de experiência não foi um fator determinante no nível de aprendizado dos fundamentos técnicos e nas características antropométricas das crianças. Portanto, independente do tempo de experiência em jogadores da categoria sub-11, os mesmos podem apresentar desempenho similar nos fundamentos técnicos do futsal.

Published: January 2023

Formar leitores competentes que saibam refletir, questionar e inferir sobre as leituras realizadas na Educação Básica, ocorre a partir do trabalho de professores e em especial do profissional da área de Letras, a quem geralmente se atribui essa função. Tendo em vista o cenário educacional do século XXI, esse processo pode ser otimizado com recursos do mundo digital, isso porque não basta realizar uma leitura de texto impresso, mas ler, analisar e inferir sobre todos os tipos de textos e formas textuais que circulam no meio digital como um todo nos quais a multimodalidade é um traço comum que precisa ser reconhecido pelos estudantes. Nessa perspectiva, buscando um vínculo entre tecnologias digitais e formação de leitores na escola, este estudo apresenta uma discussão teórico-crítica acerca do uso de games de literatura para a formação do leitor crítico-reflexivo, a fim de conhecer plataformas digitais que podem ser exploradas pelos docentes nas elaborações de práticas mediadoras de leitura com uso de games. Para tanto, o estudo fundamenta-se em pressupostos teóricos de AGUIAR; BORDINI (1993), FAVA (2018), CANDIDO (2011), ORLANDI (2018), entre outras fontes fundamentais para o aporte teórico deste trabalho. A investigação mostra que é essencial fomentar a formação de leitores digitais profícuos e que o uso de games, além de auxiliar os professores para aulas mais atrativas, desperta o interesse dos estudantes através da ludicidade e interação, oportunizando o reconhecimento da multimodalidade na construção textual.

DRAWING EXPERIENCES ON PARTICIPATORY FORESTRY EXTENSION APPROACHES: IMPLICATION FOR FORESTRY EXTENSION IN ETHIOPIA
Authors: HINDE Omer
Published: January 2023

Forestry extension in Ethiopia has been mirrored in the agriculture extension package as one aspect commonly to address land and forest degradation. In contrast to the top-down approach, the participatory extension has given momentum to promote afforestation and rehabilitation of degraded land for transferring sufficient knowledge and addressing growers’ choices to raise tree species for various purposes. However, the research on forestry-related participatory technology development, adaption, and extension seems overlooked. The purpose of this review was to draw on the experiences of countries with low economic development on participatory forestry technologies development and extension. Hence, I reviewed good practices of various selected countries where forestry participatory extension approaches have been effective. The result of the review shows that participatory extension approaches like group training, demonstration trial, farmer's field school, and community-based extension approaches have been effective in forest management and livelihood development in the forest sector. Therefore, the review implies that key forestry stakeholders engaging in research, technology development and extension should prioritize participatory approaches to address both community needs and ecological aspects.
Christian Historical Heterogeneity in Sierra Leone: A Sociological Prospect and Interpretation
Authors: Bangura Mohamed
Published: January 2023

Sierra Leone, today a country with a Muslim majority (78.6%), has undergone an intense process of Christian religious conversion. Christianity was first introduced in Sierra Leone in 1792. Today, 20.4 % of the population is Christian, with a ‘Born–Again’ or protestant majority surpassing previous national historic denominations of Catholicism, the Pentecostal, Anglicans, Baptists, Jehovah Witnesses and Apostolicism, mainly in the minority. ‘Born–Again’ churches are a repertoire of Nigerian and Sierra Leonean religious leaders tutored by Nigerian theocrats called the redeemed Christian leaders. This article seeks to establish the dimension of divergent Christian religious groups in terms of follower compositions and to inject a sociological lens of these compositions, suggesting interpretations that influence Sierra Leonean Christian perceptions and diversions.

Kompos terbukti memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman. Salah satu faktor dari kompos yang memberikan pengaruh adalah aktivitas mikroba dalam melarutkan fosfat di tanah. Bahan organik yang berbeda dalam pembuatan kompos akan menyebabkan aktivitas dan jenis mikroba yang berbeda juga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati kelimpahan cendawan pada berbagai jenis kompos campuran kotoran ternak dan jenis cendawan sebagai pelarut fosfat. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen dengan perlakuan pengomposan serbuk gergaji, sekam bakar, kotoran ternak (perbandingan massa 7:1:2), yaitu kotoran sapi, kotoran kambing dan kotoran ayam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahan kompos kotoran kambing memiliki kelimpahan cendawan tertinggi dalam periode waktu, diikuti oleh kompos kotoran sapi dan ayam secara berturut-turut. Jumlah genus atau spesies cendawan pelarut fosfat paling variatif berasal dari kompos kotoran sapi, diikuti kotoran kambing dan kotoran ayam secara berturut-turut. Jumlah populasi cendawan dalam kompos berkisar 104 cfu.gram-1 tanah yang didominasi oleh genus Aspergillus. Cendawan pelarut fosfat pada kompos kotoran ternak adalah genus Aspergillus, Penicillium dan Fusarium.

SOME ASPECTS OF NATURAL SCIENCE LITERACY AND COMPETENCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
Authors: Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: January 2023

Natural science competence of primary school teachers is one of the constituent parts of general professional competence. It is obvious that the students, would-be teachers (future teachers) of primary school, should receive considerably high education in the field of natural science education in the process of studies.
One of the most significant types of competence is supposed to be the one of primary natural science. The other types of competence (pedagogic, professional, objective, social, methodic, business, etc.) seem to be also consequential. However, the process of studies, as a rule, devotes much attention to the pedagogic-psychologic issues. The primary school teachers teach all subjects, and therefore their training is complex, specific and requires a carefully considered strategy. Primary school teacher training experience in Lithuania allows to state that natural science competence is minimum developed as it is not given enough attention. Similar problems can be noticed in other countries.

Authors: Yuksel İlknur
Published: January 2023

Vocabulary is a crucial multi-dimensional component of language proficiency. This study aimed to describe these separate traits of vocabulary knowledge through the construct of lexical competence in a three-dimensional model. Thus, 40 Turkish EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners’ size, depth and use of vocabulary were investigated with a set of tests. The findings of analyses indicated that they had limited vocabulary size and depth knowledge, considering their assumed proficiency levels. Additionally, the profiles of their productive vocabulary in their essays revealed that they mostly used high frequent words but low frequency and academic words least. So, it was concluded that learners had limited lexical competence. These results revealed that all dimensions of vocabulary knowledge are interrelated and it is crucial to handle all in together to understand learners’ needs. In this study, Turkish EFL learners’ productive vocabulary was found as essential to be developed in relation with size and depth.
Key words: depth of vocabulary, lexical competence vocabulary, size of vocabulary, productive vocabulary.
