Published: May 2022

Due to physical, intellectual, mental, and/or sensory limitations, person with disabilities tend to experience obstacles and limitations in their ability to care for themselves, knowledge of health, and access to health services. As a result, people with disabilities are more at risk of experiencing health problems, one of which is intestinal helminth infection. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of intestinal helminth infections and associated risk factors among children with disabilities at school age in Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. A school-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from October until December 2019. A total of 130 stool samples were collected and examined by the flotation, Kato-Katz, Harada-Mori, and Baermann methods to detect the presence of helminth eggs and/or larvae. An interview with parents/guardians of the subject based on a questionnaire was conducted to obtain information regarding the associated risk factor. The overall prevalence of intestinal helminth infections among subjects was 1.5% (CI=95%). Of these, 0,07% (1/130) was positive for hookworm infection, and the remaining 0,07% (1/130) was positive for Trichuris trichiura. Analysis for all risk factors showed no statistically significant association between all risk factors and the intestinal helminths infections in the study subjects (p>0.05).

Sleep quality is a measure where a person finds it easy to start sleeping, is able to maintain sleep quality and feels relaxed after waking from sleep. Sleep quality affects overall health and quality of life. The quality of a mother's sleep during pregnancy is heavily influenced by the physical and psychological changes she experiences. (Delaune & Ladner, 2011). Efforts that can be made to overcome sleep difficulties in pregnant women include doing light exercise that is safe for pregnant women, hypnotherapy, providing health education on how to maintain sleep quality and relaxation exercises. One of the sports that pregnant women can do is Pilates (Hegard, 2010). The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the effectiveness of Pilates exercise on sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women. The research design used was a quasi-experimental, in the form of one group pre-test and post-test design. The sample in this study were pregnant women in the third trimester at Clinic Pratama Bunda Patimah as many 30 respondents. The sampling technique was carried out by consecutive sampling. Data collection techniques were carried out using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. The PSQI is an effective instrument used to measure sleep quality and sleep patterns in adults. The results of the analysis using the bivariate Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test obtained a significance value of p value = 0.00 (p value <0.05). This means that there are differences in the quality of sleep of pregnant women before and after pilates exercise at Clinic Pratama Bunda Patimah, so that there is an influence of pilates exercise on the quality of sleep of pregnant women in the third trimester at Clinic Pratama Bunda Patimah.

Кратко рассмотрены основные неблагоприятные факторы, возникшие в результате загрязнений техногенного характера на территориях Центрального экономического района Нечерноземной зоны. Предложены некоторые пути по минимизации возникших негативных воздействий на пострадавших территориях: улучшение плодородия почв в целях повышения рентабельности и привлекательности этих территорий для развития сельскохозяйственного производства; внесение на загрязненных территориях в почву калийных удобрений и их известкование; специальные способы обработки почвы. В соответствии с предлагаемыми путями раскрыты некоторые эффективные способы по реабилитации и восстановлению почв на пострадавших территориях этого района. Более подробно раскрыта технология, выполняемая ярусными плугами, которая ранее использовалась для глубокой послойной запашки органических удобрений и мелиорантов на низкоплодородных почвах. Технология основана на одноразовой глубокой заделке верхней части пахотного слоя за ротацию севооборота и более мелких обработок в последующие годы. Предлагаемая система обработки почвы и применение удобрений в севообороте способствует активизации микробиологических процессов в нижней части пахотного слоя, увеличивает продолжительность последействия удобрений и мелиорантов и усиливает выявленные преимущества обратногетерогенного строения этого слоя. При этом в нижней части пашни поддерживается непрерывный процесс трансформации органического вещества с увеличением отдачи от органических и минеральных удобрений при одновременном приросте гумуса и экономии энергетических затрат.

Published: May 2022

Solanum nigrum belonging to the family Solanaceae, has been considered as a remedy for treating various ailments like epilepsy, gastric ulcers etc. and is believed to have hepatoprotective activities. In this study, the total phenolic and flavonoid content of the extracts of Ethyl acetate and Methanol from the Solanum nigrum leaves and their antioxidant activity was carried out by using spectrophotometric methods. Methanol extract with high absorbance exhibited highest antioxidant activity containing highest quantity of phenolics and flavonoids followed by Ethyl Acetate. The presence of phenolic and flavonoid compounds indicated that these compounds can contribute to the antioxidant activity. These active constituents alone or in combination with others may be responsible for the observed antioxidant activity. The findings indicated promising antioxidant activity of crude extracts of leaves needs further exploration for their effective use in both modern and traditional system of medicines. The Solanum nigrum leaf can be regarded as promising candidate for natural plant sources of antioxidants with higher values. A comparative study of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents extracted by the solvents, and their in-vitro antioxidant activity that could be an effective remedy in hepatoprotection was carried out in the study.

Published: May 2022

Recently, the use of probiotics by human beings through different delivery routes is increased. These are those microorganisms that produce positive health benefits to the host. Different species of probiotics are used in human food matrices, but the commonly used probiotics are related to Bifido-bacteria and Lactobacillus genus. The health benefits attributed to probiotic consumption are investigated in numerous human and animal studies. These benefits are the improvement of metabolic disorders like control of diarrhea, improvement in lactose intolerance, prevention of colon cancer, treatment of H. pylori; decrement in blood cholesterol, alleviation in sensitivity and so forth. etc... The mentioned health benefits are species species-dependent. These microorganisms produce the benefits through several mechanisms such as competitive exclusion of pathogens and colonization resistance, normalization of altered microbiota, Anti Anti-proliferative effect, competition for nutrients, production of inhibitory substances, production of short chain fatty acids, and degradation of toxin receptors, immune effects, and regulation of intestinal transit. In this article, information and the results of recently conducted research concerning probiotics, its properties and mechanism of action, and health benefits of probiotics are gathered and discussed.
Study of Interaction of Loamy Soil with Salts of Heavy Metals in Assessment of Groundwater Contamination
Authors: Raju V. John
Published: May 2022

A major environmental problem is the risk of metal pollution of surface and groundwater due to leaching from polluted land-based solid wastes. The goal of this research is to figure out what happens when heavy metals interact with sandy and silty loam soils, and how that affects groundwater quality. As the sorption decreased in the order Mn> Fe> Ni > Cr> Zn> Cu> Pb> Cd. The leaching order should be reverse of it. As a result, Cd is less well held by soils than the other hazardous cations, and hence poses a greater risk of polluting groundwater due to its severe toxicity. The metals Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd were shown to be significantly more mobile than the other four. The retention of metals became weaker as the concentration of metals increased. This points to the probability of groundwater contamination as a result of land infill.  As a result, at all polluted sites in Agra, they should be properly monitored. Metals are more sorbed on silty loam than on sandy loans because the former has higher organic matter, clay, monmorillonite contents, CEC and surface area. Because the majority of the soil in Agra is sandy loam, it is recommended that all wastes containing heavy metals be treated before being disposed of in loamy formations.

Due to various dwindling resources as well as the significance of such resources to the building of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, ongoing usage petroleum-based energies has also now generally regarded as irresponsible. For sustainable food production, alternative, dioxide transportation hydrocarbons were required. Gasoline made using oilseed crops has the ability to just be a sustainable or nitrogen biofuel. Consequently, gasoline fuel made using energy crops, leftover sunflower oil, including sunflower oil may provide a tiny portion of the current requirement for fuel sources. Organisms are often the primary basis of sustainable biofuels to provide the rising demands for fuel sources, as proven elsewhere. That research has carried out to determine the correct conversion, quantity of producing biofuels (ester), but also biofuel physical features. Cyanobacteria, like trees, absorb sunlight to produce lipids, but they do so extremely effectively. Many microalgae have oils efficiency that much surpasses those of the strongest seed oils. It really is explored how to make microalgae biomass biofuel financially viable against petroleum diesel.

Authors: Narvariya Pushpendra , Singh Joseph
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study was to predict the ball velocity on the basis of anthropometric variables of male division level cricket bowlers.
Materials and methods: A total of 08 medium pace bowlers (mean ± standard deviation; age= 20.2±2.09 years; height= 172±3.65cms.) who participated in recent Gwalior division cricket competition were selected for the study. For anthropometric variables following measurements were conducted: standing height, upper arm length, lower arm length, palm length, upper leg length, lower leg length. Ball velocity was measured with a doppler radar gun. The stepwise multiple regression was conducted to predict the ball velocity of medium pace bowlers based on selected anthropometric variables.
Results: The results suggest that lower arm length and ball velocity had a significant relationship (r = 0.780; p 0.001). In addition, a prediction model (Ball velocity = 76.601+1.507 [lower arm length]) with an R2 value of 0.608 was developed, with lower arm length being the only predictor.
Conclusion: This also signifies that there may be other factors that contributes to the ball velocity such as strength of shoulders, run-up speed, kinematic variables, or kinetic variables. Therefore, future researches should focus on all those parameters that were not included in this study.

Review of the Factors of Trust or Distrust in News Media
Authors: Shahryar Bahrooz
Published: May 2022

The trust of audiences in media comes from their trust in media news. Communication studies experts believe that the symbol of trust in the media should be seen in terms of increasing trust in news and media news programs. Since trust can influence general thoughts, it should be considered separately in each media organization based on the type of organization. The more citizens believe in the authenticity of a particular type of media, the more likely they are to be influenced by their thoughts. Numerous studies in the field of social psychology show that authentic sources have more persuasive power than the sources that are less trusted by their audiences.

Since the media have a mediating role in the transmission of news and information, they are a kind of link between the government and the people and have a great impact on the convergence and divergence of the people and the government. The success of any program depends entirely on gaining the trust of the people, so the effects of the media should exist in a way that can increase the coefficient of trust and confidence among the people, and if the current situation is such that this coefficient works in the opposite direction, it should think of solutions and reform. Thus, the discussion of news engineering is analyzed based on recognizing the components of building trust, but it is necessary before recognizing the audience because it is the perception of the audience and the level of their trust that creates the media reputation and determines their position.

Entrepreneurship makes a huge contribution to any country's economy by providing jobs, instilling innovation, and creativity, and fostering exceptional social development. Scholars have recognized the value of entrepreneurship education since it has a significant impact on students by instilling a feeling of entrepreneurship in them. Entrepreneurial passion refers to the good and intense sensations a person gets from participating in activities related to their role as an entrepreneur. The primary goal of this research is to determine the impact of entrepreneurial passion on social entrepreneurial intent, as well as the role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediating factor. The study developed a mediation model to further research on the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial intention. The study also investigated if entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a role in this relationship. This study's philosophical viewpoint is positivism, and the research design is descriptive and explanatory. The study relied on primary data collected using questionnaires. The study adopted a quantitative approach and to analyze the data obtained from a sample of 200 (graduate students). The study revealed that entrepreneurial passion has a positive impact on entrepreneurial intention and self-efficacy. Second, using entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator, the indirect effect of entrepreneurial passion on entrepreneurial intention was significant and positive. It is therefore recommended that more emphasis be paid to Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy when attempting to build or increase Social Entrepreneurial Intent through Entrepreneurial Passion.

The protectiveness of aquatic life criteria for threatened or endangered aquatic species: Cadmium in California
Authors: Mebane Christopher
Published: May 2022

In the United States, conflicts can arise between the processes to derive aquatic life criteria (ALC) for chemicals under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the evaluation procedures used in Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultations on the protectiveness of those criteria for protected species. This paper examines the roots of, and possible reconciliation of, one longstanding conflict over cadmium aquatic life criteria in California. This case study includes 1) an overview of occurrences of cadmium in the aquatic environment, 2) factors affecting toxicity of cadmium to aquatic life, 3) a contrast between the analytical procedures of CWA aquatic life criteria derivation and ESA consultation, 4) quantitative estimates of no-effect concentrations of cadmium for 44 ESA listed species in comparison with updated aquatic life criteria, and 5) concludes with suggestions to update California’s aquatic life criteria for cadmium that would be more protective of sensitive ESA listed species.A root cause of conflict is the different levels of biological organization that are the focus of CWA and ESA procedures. The CWA ALC are intended to protect diverse ecosystems by protecting at least 95% of the species richness in communities, allowing that it is acceptable for some species in the residual most sensitive 5% of the community richness to be harmed or even locally extirpated so long as they are not societally important species. The ESA is charged with minimizing harm to individual organisms and disallows increasing risk of extinction or impeding recovery of protected species. With cadmium in California, these procedures converge because some of the most sensitive species to cadmium happen to be surrogates for protected species (acute responses of steelhead/rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, and chronic responses of threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus). The present review concludes that while the superseded 1996 cadmium criteria versions would not be fully protective for up to half of the 44 ESA listed aquatic species in California, the updated 2016 versions would be more protective. Still, the review shows that the updated acute criteria would only fully protect the less sensitive half of the distribution of data for steelhead/rainbow trout sensitivity to cadmium, and the chronic criterion still would not protect the listed threespine stickleback. With a data rich species such as rainbow trout, instead of defining acute criteria using a central tendency statistic such as the geometric mean of multiple test responses, using a lower statistic such as the 10th percentile would ensure that the vast majority of a sensitive, protected species (and all less sensitive species) would be protected. Available data for the stickleback indicate it may be highly sensitive to cadmium, but no threshold can be derived from existing data. Additional testing with cadmium and stickleback would be needed to suggest an alternative, quantitative approach.

The critical question for Cognitive Scientists is what does Cognitive Science do, if anything, for people? Cognitive Science is primarily concerned with human cognition but has fallen short in continuously and critically assessing the who in human cognition. This complacency in a world where white supremacist and patriarchal structures leave Cognitive Science in the unfortunate position of potentially supporting those structures. We take it that many Cognitive Scientists operate on the assumption that the study of human cognition is both interesting and important. We want to invoke that importance to note that Cognitive Scientists must continue to work to show how the field is useful to all of humanity and reflects a humanity that is not white by default. We wonder how much the field has done, and can do, to show that it is useful not only in the sense that we might make connections with researchers in other fields, win grants and write papers, even of the highest quality, but useful in some material way to the billions of non-Cognitive Scientists across the globe.
A Within-Group Approach to Ensemble Machine Learning Methods for Causal Inference in Multilevel Studies
Authors: Suk Youmi
Published: May 2022

Machine learning (ML) methods for causal inference have gained popularity due to their flexibility to predict the outcome model and the propensity score. In this paper, we provide a within-group approach for ML-based causal inference methods to robustly estimate average treatment effects in multilevel studies when there is cluster-level unmeasured confounding. We focus on one particular ML-based causal inference method based on the targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) with an ensemble learner called SuperLearner. Through our simulation studies, we observe that training TMLE within groups of similar clusters helps remove bias from cluster-level unmeasured confounders. Also, using within-group propensity scores estimated from fixed effects logistic regression increases the robustness of the proposed within-group TMLE method. Even if the propensity scores are partially misspecified, the within-group TMLE still produces robust ATE estimates due to double robustness with flexible modeling, unlike parametric-based inverse propensity weighting methods. We demonstrate our proposed methods and conduct sensitivity analyses against the number of groups and individual-level unmeasured confounding to evaluate the effect of taking an eighth-grade algebra course on math achievement in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study.
Psychopathic Traits and Utilitarian Moral Judgment Revisited
Authors: Paruzel-Czachura Mariola , Farny Zuzanna
Published: May 2022

To provide deeper insights into the relationships between psychopathic traits and utilitarian moral judgment, we studied N = 702 adults using three psychopathy scales: (1) the Levenson’s Self-report Psychopathy Scale; (2) the Psychopathic Personality Inventory; (3) the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure; and three measures of utilitarian moral judgment: (1) trolley dilemmas; (2) the CNI model of moral decision making; (3) the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale. When using the traditional approach to moral judgment (i.e., trolley dilemmas, instrumental harm, traditional score from the CNI model), we found that higher levels of psychopathic traits were associated with a higher utilitarian tendency. When using the modeling approach, we found that a higher level of psychopathic traits was related to weaker sensitivity to moral norms and less action averse in morally problematic situations. Additionally, we found negative associations between impartial beneficence and all psychopathy scores.
Denuncia de la corrupción: entre lo público y lo privado
Authors: Nuñez Manuel
Published: May 2022

Approaching corruption from a criminal perspective leads to the illusion that whenever there is corruption, it will be reported, as would supposedly happen with other types of crimes. For this reason, it seems that what should be explained is why corruption is not reported, since it is necessarily pernicious. In this document, based on data from a study carried out in 2021 in Portugal, we proceed to explain what factors influence the different reasons (8) that people give for not reporting corruption, as well as what leads them to say that they would always blow on corruption. The explanatory factors are of three types: exposure to different types of corruption, belief in a just world and trust in institutions. the analysis carried out make it possible to illustrate that the decision to report corruption or not does not depend solely on being exposed to it; on the contrary, both, trust in institutions, and above all, the belief in a just world, are important. The analysis carried out, focused on the civic behaviors that compel the common citizen, is carefully separated from other approaches that refer to what has been called "civil society", notwithstanding to the fact that the knowledge acquired is relevant for agents of the “civil society”, as well as for those who are involved in the design of better strategies to promote civic control of corruption.

Berbagai aktivitas kehidupan manusia yang sebelumnya berlangsung normal harus berubah secara drastis dan signifikan mengikuti berbagai peraturan yang ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah guna mengurangi penyebaran virus corona ini. Semua kegiatan masyarakat harus dilakukan dan dilaksanakan dari rumah, seperti bekerja, bersekolah, beribadah, dan lainnya. Masyarakat diwajibkan mengikuti semua peraturan dan protokol kesehatan yang ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah dan Badan Kesehatan Dunia (WHO), dan harus menjalani kehidupan dengan tataran normal baru. Tentu saja hal ini mengubah segala aspek kehidupan manusia. Begitu pula halnya di sektor pendidikan, pandemi ini juga mempengaruhi dan memberikan tantangan tersendiri bagi lembaga pendidikan di Indonesia. Pemerintah memutuskan untuk menutup sekolah dan juga perguruan tinggi. Pelaksanaan pembelajaran harus dirombak ulang dan disesuaikan guna beradaptasi mengikuti ketentuan protokol kesehatan yang melarang masyarakat untuk berkerumun di satu tempat yang ramai. Hal ini tentu saja dirasa sangat berat oleh guru dan peserta didik. Terutama bagi guru, dimana guru dituntut harus bisa kreatif dan berinovasi dalam hal metode, media, dan sarana belajar agar tetap bisa mentransfer ilmunya kepada peserta didik meskipun dalam segala keterbatasan. Solusi pembelajaran yang bisa dilakukan selama pandemi Covid-19 ini ialah guru harus bisa berinovasi dan menyesuaikan diri dengan berbagai perubahan dan teknologi yang ada, berpikir kreatif dan berkolaborasi dengan peserta didik dan orang tua peserta didik. Guru harus mengusahakan menerapkan model pembelajaran yang disesuaikan dengan keadaan dan kondisi para peserta didik.

Medical waste operation is one of the numerous complex and demanding challenges facing humanity as the global population swells and the demand for medical services increase. Medical waste product in the developing world is rising quickly due to bettered access to medical services which allow ever lesser figures of admit modern medical care. Contradictory methods of waste measurement used by researchers leave these variations questionable. Objective of biomedical waste management (BMW) operation generally involves preventing diffusion of illness from patient to medical expert to forestall injury to the health care employee and staff in support services, whereas handling medicine waste, to forestall general exposure to the harmful effects of the cytotoxic, geotaxis and chemical drug waste generated in hospitals. The main objectives of this paper were to analyse the status of medical waste generation and treatment in recent years, and also address the discussion on waste risks and the impact on health and environment. The study indicates that greater training for healthcare personnel and standardising the categorization of medical waste streams are important steps toward more efficient waste management in hospitals.

Introduction: High blood pressure has a more burden on public health in the middle aged to a older population. The incidence of newly developed hypertension is not well known than its prevalence. Objective: To assess high blood pressure among general population and to determine the risk factors associated with it. Materials and Methods: It was cross sectional study conducted over a period of 06 months from April 2021-September 2021 at South East Hospital and Research Center, Islamabad, Pakistan. We enrolled a total of three hundred (n=300) participant in our study of both gender who visited South East Hospital by using Non-Probability convenient Sampling method technique. Individual having blood pressure exceeding to the normal limit or within normal limit at the time of visit to the hospital were included in our study and those individuals who had already diagnosed with hypertension were excluded. Results: The mean age of the respondent was (37.44±12.669), mean systolic BP (164.50±21.176) and mean diastolic BP was (100.09±14.045). Blood pressure systole was significantly correlated with risk factors (Diabetic mellitus, family history and obesity) (r=.293***, p<0.01), Blood pressure diastole also positively correlated with risk factor and blood pressure systole (r=.266**,.896** and p<0.01). Conclusion: According to the result of our study it is concluded that high blood pressure among general population was assessed more. Most of the participants were diagnosed with high blood pressure through three consecutive reading at the first time visit to the South East Hospital. Risk factors e.g. diabetic mellitus, obesity and family history are closely interlinked with high blood pressure.

Introduction: One of the limiting factors for Anthurium production is its infection with various viruses. During the year 2014- 2015, a total of 504 symptomatic ornamental Anthurium leaf samples with virus-like symptoms including leaf and flower blister, dwarfing, mosaic, yellowing, leaf marginal chlorosis, and deformity were collected from Varamin and Pakdasht (Tehran province) Screen-houses. Aim: Samples were tested for infection to Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) and Dasheen mosaic viruses (DaMV). Method: Biological, serological (ELISA) and molecular methods (RT-PCR) were performed for the detection and analysis of the important viral agents infecting Anthurium ornamental plants. Results: According to ELISA test results the prevalence of CMV were (31.54%) followed by TSWV (25%) and DaMV (7.93%) viruses respectively. Results of mechanical inoculation and host range reaction of CMV, TSWV and DaMV isolates were also recorded (fig 2). Coat protein gene sequence of Iranian CMV isolate showed the highest similarity (97%) with a CMV isolate Cucurbit pepo (Acc. No.GU327368.1) from South Korea. DMV on ornamental Anthurium is reported for the first time in this research from Iran. Conclusion: Despite the detection of CMV, TSWV and DaMV in this study, viral pathogens are one of the most economically damaging agents in the ornamental Anthurium plant. Development of research methods for, the detection and study of different isolates of these agents from different hosts, and study of the characteristics of each of these isolates has always been a scientific need.
Deep Insights into the Developmental Progress of Orally Disintegrating Tablet Formulation, Techniques, and Products: A Comprehensive Review

Published: May 2022

When it comes to the design of dosage forms, the ease of medication administration and patient compliance are given significant consideration. Recently developed and emerging technologies may be used to make durable, multifunctional tablets that have exceptional flavor masking properties and controlled release. It is possible to consume orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) without drinking water since they break down in the mouth in less than 60 seconds and dissolve completely in the mouth. Rapid disintegration of the tablet results in rapid dissolving and, as a result, rapid beginning of action. ODts are a suitable dosage form for special populations such as pediatrics, geriatrics, psychotic patients, patients who are unable to swallow properly, bedridden patients, unconscious patients, young patients with a poorly developed muscular and nervous system, patients who have hand tremors, and patients who travel frequently. Good stability, correct dosage, simplicity of manufacture, and reduced packing size are all advantages; self-administration is allowed throughout the trip since water is not necessary. It is also environmentally friendly. ODTs are a cost-effective technique of delivering medications. When medicine is absorbed via the buccal cavity, oral drug delivery systems (ODTs) are very significant. For the production of ODTs, a variety of scientific procedures have been used, including spray drying, sublimation, freeze-drying, molding, and direct compression. Today, ODTs are more readily accessible as over-the-counter medications for the treatment of a broad range of disorders than they were before. The purpose of this article is to discuss the benefits, limits, formulation issues, manufacturing procedures, patented technologies, and commercially available formulations of ODTs in general.
