Authors: Kusyanti Florentina , Sukmawati Sukmawati
Published: April 2023

Currently, many teenagers in modern times generally do not want to eat vegetables and fruit. They tend to prefer to eat fast food. In fact, eating fast food has a negative impact on the health of the body. Meanwhile, fruits and vegetables contain lots of vitamins, proteins, and fats which are very useful for the body. The purpose of this service is to provide an understanding of the ingredients found in vegetables and fruit, as well as their benefits for the health of adolescents in maintaining body stamina. The method used in the service is the lecture method with presentation techniques, followed by a question-and-answer discussion. The results of the community service activities which were attended by 90 students of MAN 2 Sleman grades X-XII showed that before the activity, many students did not like vegetables, but after receiving the material many said they liked it because they did not know the benefits and the taste was not good. In addition, they will try to eat fruit even if their parents don't peel it and prepare it at the dinner table, especially for young women so that their skin looks fresh.

The Mediating Effect of Depression on the Relationship between Stress-coping Method and Drinking Behaviors in the Elderly
Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Moon Jin Young , Yoo Mi Sun
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stress coping strategies in the elderly on drinking behavior and to determine whether depression mediates this relationship. To this end, 286 cases of responding to the 2022 ‘Mental Health and Addiction Survey’ conducted online by Sogang University Life Culture Research Institute for the elderly aged 65 or older were used for analysis . As a result of the study, the elderly's active stress-coping method had a negative effect on drinking behavior, and the passive stress-coping method had a positive effect on drinking behavior. It was found that the elderly's active stress-coping method had a negative effect on depression, while the passive stress-coping method had a positive effect on depression. As a result of verifying the mediating effect of depression in the relationship between the elderly's stress coping style and drinking behavior, a full mediating effect was found in the relationship between active stress coping style and drinking behavior. A partial mediating effect was found in the relationship between passive stress coping style and drinking behavior. These results mean that if the elderly actively cope with stress, it does not directly affect drinking behavior, and drinking behavior is alleviated through a decrease in depression. On the other hand, when the elderly cope with stress passively, it directly affects the deterioration of drinking behavior, but it means that it indirectly affects drinking behavior through increased depression. Based on these research results, practical and policy measures to alleviate the drinking behavior of the elderly were suggested.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to explore the success factors of the marketable project group. To achieve this goal, we selected a business unit, that is considered to be operating successfully. We conducted an in-depth analysis of their economic and social achievements as well as their success factors, by appling a case study method suitable for understanding “why“ and “how“ little-known early phenomenon is occurring. The analysis identified the following success factors: 1) selection of industry and scale suitable for the elderly employment program structure; 2) mutually beneficial network with other organizations working for public purposes; 3) business strategies that satisfy the market; 4) composition of synergistic and complementary human resources; 5) organizational culture of mutual respect; 6) voluntary learning and professional job training for the members; 7) a labor environment suitable for the elderly; 8) rational operating principles and transparent information sharing. The researchers interpreted the results by comparing the success factors of the H business unit with other organizations’ factors that have similar characteristics to the marketable project group, considering the situation and context of the case. Based on this, we discussed the implications for other marketable project groups.

Published: April 2023

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of milk liquid and powder supplements on piglets’ performance, drinking behavior, and sow back-fat thickness change during the lactation period. There were 4 experimental groups (n = 24), and in the control group (n = 6), the piglets were suckled from the sow. For the supplemental groups (n = 18), milk powder (MP), milk liquid by feeding trough (MLFT), and milk liquid feeding by the bucket (MLFB). There were significant differences in average daily weight gain between day 14 and weaning age for the MP and MLFT (p < 0.05) but not in MLFB (p > 0.05). For approaching to the feeder, there were significantly higher in MP and MLFT groups (p < 0.05). Based on the examination of sow back-fat thickness, the back-fat loss was minimal (p < 0.05) in the MP and MLFT compared to the MLFB and the control. Giving the milk supplement as powder and liquid by feeding trough has increased the average daily gain and body weight of the piglets on day 14th and on weaning day. Moreover, back-fat thickness reduction of sows in the supplemental groups is lower compared to the control group.

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between behavioural activities and sperm parameters in modern and local breeds of Ukrainian boars. Visual observations were conducted on 30 boars, aged 12 and 24 months, with five boars from each of the following breeds: Large White, Landrace, Ukrainian Meat, Pietrain, intrabreed type of Duroc breed of Ukrainian selection "Steppovyi", and the terminal line "Maxter". Behaviours such as rest, movement, feed, and water intake during 24 hours were recorded. Semen samples were manually collected from each boar and evaluated for quantitative and qualitative indicators of sperm quality and fertilizing capacity according to the "Instructions for Artificial Insemination of Pigs", which included parameters such as ejaculate volume, sperm concentration in the ejaculate, percentage of correctly motile spermatozoa, survival of spermatozoa, and fertilizing ability of boars. The study found that certain behavioural activities significantly influenced the qualitative and quantitative indicators of sperm parameters in boars of different breeds. Specifically, time spent on rest and movement, as well as the index of movement activity (at 12 months of age), significantly (P < 0.05) influenced ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, and the percentage of correctly motile spermatozoa. Moreover, the effect of these behavioural acts on ejaculate volume had a curvilinear character. On the other hand, the survival of spermatozoa and fertilizing ability of boars were mainly determined by their time spent on feed and water intake (at 24 months of age), and the relationship detected in this case was asymptotic.

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the thermal response of the eyelids and lacrimal gland of the left eye (LETG) through infrared thermography (IRT), cardiorespiratory parameters, and their association with nociception and pain in bitches undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy (OVH) anesthetized with isoflurane and epidural analgesia. Twenty-one healthy bitches of different breeds were randomized into three groups receiving epidural blocks: GL (n=7), lidocaine (2 mg Kg-1); GLF (n=7), lidocaine (2 mg Kg-1) and fentanyl (3 µg Kg-1); and GLM (n=7), lidocaine (2 mg Kg-1) with morphine (0.1 mg Kg-1). IRT and cardiorespiratory parameters were evaluated at baseline (Ebasal), thirty minutes before anesthetic premedication, and at different surgical events: first incision (EInc), ligature and section of the left (ELoV), and right (ERoV) ovarian pedicle, ligature, and re-section of the cervix (EUt), and skin suture (ESut). The assessment of acute pain in the immediate post-operative period was registered at E1h, E2h, and E3h using IRT, the Dynamic Interactive Visual Analogic Scale (DIVAS), and the University of Melbourne Pain Scale (UMPS) scales. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in the lower eyelid surface temperature (LELT) during EInc for GL (32.9°C ± 0.62), in comparison to GLF (34.2°C ± 0.62) and GLM (35.3°C ± 0.62) (P = 0.006). Regarding LETG, a significant increase (P = 0.03) in the IRT of Ebasal (36.8°C ± 0.63) and EInc (36.1°C ± 0.63) for GLM was observed in comparison to the thermographic values for both perioperative events and groups. The GLM showed a significant decrease in IRT values of ERoV at E3h in the upper and lower eyelids (P = 0.03 and P = 0.01, respectively). A progressive and significant reduction of the IRT values of LETG was also recorded in GLM, with differences in ERoV (35.2 °C ± 0.63) (P = 0.02) and E3h (35.3 °C ± 0.63) (P = 0.01). The cardiovascular parameters (SAP, DAP, and MAP) did not differ between treatments, but in GL, there was a significant difference (P = 0.01) during EInc and ESut, compared to Ebasal. In the body temperature, EInc and ESut gradually decreased in all treatment groups (P = 0.01). In conclusion, hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory stability was associated with IRT readings and the absence of nociception. Changes in superficial temperature in the immediate post-operative period were lessened using isoflurane and epidural analgesia of lidocaine alone or in combination with pure opioids. These findings were clinically validated to the DIVAS and UMPS acute pain assessment scales.
Aceh Local Political Party: The rise, victory, and decline
Authors: Zulfan Zulfan , Ikramatoun Siti , Aminah Aminah
Published: April 2023

Local political parties are one of the important mandates of the MoU Helsinki, which once became the realization of Aceh's peace. Their presence has significantly contributed to the development of post-conflict Aceh, and their victories in multiple Aceh political contests have guided Aceh's peace journey for the past seventeen years. However, the last election in Aceh in 2019 showed that the local political parties were starting to lose their power and become more powerless. Therefore, this study aims to describe the dynamics of local parties in Aceh, especially in relation to their rises, victories, and signs of decline. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive model. The data in this study were obtained from an in-depth interview and relevant literature review and then analyzed with an interactive model. This study shows, first, that the rise of local political parties in Aceh relates to and is inseparable from the context of peace post-MoU, which provided access for ex-GAM and the Acehnese community to form local political parties. Second, the strengthening of Acehnese ethnonationalism in post-conflict was able to be represented by local parties in various social and cultural symbols, which made them trusted by the Acehnese and led to victory in the election. Third, the decline of the local parties' power in the 2019 election is closely related to the failure of political actors to realize their promises while in power and the occurrence of various internal conflicts in their party organizations, which dropped community trust. At the same time, the local parties failed to pass on Acehnese ethnonationalism to the younger generation, and as a result, they are likely to lose voters.

Authors: Khanal Ashish
Published: April 2023

There is lack of study predicting the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) output scientifically and accurately for least developed countries like Nepal. Previous studies have primarily relied on the tentative amount of waste generation linked with the number of vehicles involved in waste collection and transfer to the landfill site. This study used linear regression analysis to forecast the solid waste generation of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) by undertaking past population data and solid waste generation.. The SPSS analysis resulted in a strong relationship between population and solid waste generation with a coefficient of 0.956. A linear regression validation was performed to ensure that the derived formula is statistically significant. The finding indicates the r squared (R2) value to be 0.913, leading the waste prediction model to be very strong. The prediction equation of 0.659X - 204222.952 resulted in an average waste generation of KMC as 1006 t/d on average till 2035 with an average per capita/d waste generation of 0.54 kg. The current MSW generation of KMC is found to be 766 t/d and  predicted to reach 1259 t by 2035. The information can be helpful for the municipality and urban planning authorities to make strategies for effective management of waste generated in KMC, creating less burden at the Banchare Danda landfill site.

Authors: Hlosrichok Anirut , Aunpad Ratchaneewan
Published: April 2023

Background: Winged bean or Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (WB) seeds have high protein content and could be applied as a source of antioxidant proteins and peptides. The utilization of gamma rays in plant protein extraction provides consumers with a safe and harmless technology.Objective: To determine the efficiency of gamma rays in the protein extraction process of WB seeds and investigate the antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, cytoprotective effect of the gamma ray irradiated WB (WB-G) seed protein hydrolysate.Methods: WB seeds were irradiated with gamma ray (WB-G) and total protein were extracted by acid-base extraction method. The total protein was further hydrolyzed with alcalase enzyme to obtain the protein hydrolysate. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and ABTS assay. The cytotoxicity and cytoprotective effect were determined by MTT assay. The cellular reactive oxygen species was further analyzed by ACFDA assay.Results: The protein extracted from WB-G seeds showed higher protein yield and antioxidant activity than that of non-irradiated seeds. After hydrolysis with alcalase enzyme at 55°C for 6 hours, WB-G protein hydrolysate with degree of hydrolysis of 90.00±0.91% exhibited strong antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 10.30±0.02 µg/ml and 3.10±0.06 µg/ml as measured by DPPH and ABTS assay, respectively. Moreover, it showed no toxicity toward L929 mouse fibroblast cells and IPEC-J2 cell lines and can reduce the damage caused by H2O2. As determined in cellular reactive oxygen species by H2-DCFDA assay, the WB-G protein hydrolysate can reduce the level of ROS and subsequently the damage of cell by H2O2. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that gamma ray irradiation on the WB seeds can increase the protein yield and its protein hydrolysate exhibited promising antioxidant activity and cytoprotective effect on cells against H2O2 damage. It might be developed as an alternative food or feed supplement.Keywords:Psophocarpus tetragonolobus; Gamma rays; Protein hydrolysate; Antioxidant activity; Cytoprotective effect

This article summarizes a presentation selected for the 2022 National APSE Conference entitled Impactful Onboarding for Supported Employment Professionals which explores onboarding concepts and strategies for newly hired Employment Support Professionals that align with Employment First principles. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the presentation was to promote the purposeful design and implementation of an onboarding that engages new Employment Support Professionals around each service provider’s vision, values, and processes while equipping them with quality training and instruction that aligns with Employment First and the standards of practice across the Supported Employment field. CONCLUSION: Developing an Employment First focused onboarding for newly hired Employment Support Professionals is integral to the efficacy of direct services.
Modelling of PoD Curves Incorporating Multiple Correlated Flaw Signals
Authors: Baskaran Prashanth , Ribeiro Artur L. , Ramos Helena G.
Published: April 2023

Probability of detection (PoD) models take into consideration one or multiple flaw parameters, say the length, maximum depth, or surface area, and a single flaw signal. However, due to the correlation between the response signals, it might be necessary to consider multiple response signals to know about the flaw. Hence, in this work, we demonstrate the possibility of including multiple correlated flaw signals (features) towards the construction of a PoD curve. The flaw features considered are the peaks of the 3 components of the magnetic flux density i.e. Bx, By, and Bz. This is a fully model assisted (FMA) study in which a non-magnetic steel plate, that contains a narrow opening flaw, is inspected by an eddy current probe that induces spatially uniform fields in the conductor in the region of interest. The analysis was performed using the semi-analytical boundary element method.
Identification of Constitutive Parameters of Ferrite Cores in Common Mode Chokes
Authors: Pintér Bálint , Bingler Arnold , Pávó József
Published: April 2023

The aim of this paper is to show a simple method to characterize a common mode choke (CMC). For the accurate 3D modeling of a CMC, it is essential to know the frequency dependent permeability of the core. To establish the electromagnetic properties of the core of the choke, a simple impedance analyzer and a partly disassembled CMC is enough. The impedance measured this way is suitable to express the permeability, that can be subsequently used to build an accurate coupled 3D-circuit model of the CMC. This model can be utilized to examine inductive and capacitive couplings between the choke and other nearby placed filter components, e.g., capacitors.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Alarm fatigue is an important technological hazard that adversely affects patient safety and the healthcare team. Nurses can be exposed to an excessive amount of alarms during their work which may lead to alarm fatigue. OBJECTIVE: To determine the experiences of alarm fatigue among nurses working in intensive care units and other inpatient clinics. METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted in university hospitals in five cities in Turkey between August and December 2019. A total of 592 nurses participated in this study. The data was collected using questionnaires and the Visual Analog Scale (0 to 10 points) was used to determine the level of alarm fatigue. RESULTS: More than half of the nurses experienced problems, especially false alarms, caused by devices. Alarm fatigue decreased with increasing age and working years. Nurses reported appropriate actions in solving problems, but also had practices that may increase the risk of error, such as turning off or muting alarms or turning off equipment. CONCLUSION: Alarm fatigue is mostly caused by false alarms. It can lead to physical fatigue, increased workload and decreased concentration, resulting in an increased possibility of error. Management of alarm fatigue is necessary in preventing a compromise in patients’ safety and improving quality of care.

Authors: Neves Júlio César Bispo , Vidal Mario Cesar Rodriguez , de Carvalho Paulo Victor Rodrigues
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Most organizations perceive the concept of ergonomic actions as a local tool used to improve workplace issues. Ergonomics however is not included in global management systems. The paradigm of ergonomics action in large organizations proposed by this study is that of management systems whose primary objective is the pressing need for continuous performance improvement, acquisition of excellence, and integration into all aspects of the business. OBJECTIVE: The general objective of this work is to draw a frame presenting a model of ergonomics management based on good practices in managing this discipline in large industrial companies. METHOD: In this study, we describe a strategy based on the fuzzy set theory to aggregate a group of good practices expressed by experienced ergonomists attached to large industrial companies for handling the lack of ergonomics in an organization. RESULTS: A set of good practices was compiled as a basis for application in ergonomics in large companies. CONCLUSION: This study shows that ergonomics should not be considered an isolated phenomenon but in a strategic, proactive, integrated, and perennial way as one of the management subjects.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: The high prevalence, severe contagious nature, and associated morbidity and mortality rates of COVID-19 increased the demand for healthcare and social care services worldwide. No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic affected frontline healthcare employees the most. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to examine the burnout levels of healthcare employees and related factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. METHODS: The descriptive, cross-sectional study was completed with 478 healthcare professionals. The study’s sampling included all healthcare professionals who were actively working in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic and agreed to participate in the study. The study data were collected through the internet (online) between 10.05.2021 and 10.08.2021. The Healthcare Staff Information Form and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to collect the study data. RESULTS: Emotional burnout (p < 0.001) and desensitization (p = 0.007) scores were higher in those who lived separately from people they normally lived with. Emotional burnout and desensitization scores of the nurses were significantly higher than those of doctors and other healthcare professionals (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: It was determined that healthcare professionals in Turkey experienced moderate levels of burnout in terms of emotional burnout and desensitization, and high levels of burnout in terms of personal achievement. It is recommended to improve working conditions, monitor employees in high-risk units more closely, and provide psychological support to prevent or reduce the burnout of healthcare employees during the pandemic period.

On the statistical arrow of time
Authors: Henriksson Andreas
Published: April 2023

What is the physical origin of the arrow of time? It is a commonly held belief in the physics community that it relates to the increase of entropy as it appears in the statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics. At the same time, the subjective information-theoretical interpretation of probability, and hence entropy, is a standard viewpoint in the foundations of statistical mechanics. In this article, it is argued that the subjective interpretation is incompatible with the philosophical point of view that the arrow of time is a fundamental property of Nature. The subjectivist can only uphold this philosophy if the role played by the second law of thermodynamics in defining time's arrow is abandoned.

Today's ecological and political instability has stimulated interest in how similar problems have arisen in the past – and how they have been resolved. But this research has long been divided along different research traditions. I draw together five broad research strands: neo-institutionalism, socio- ecological systems, demographic-structural theories, world-systems approaches, and revolutions research. I begin by establishing that each of these five traditions proposes to explain state crisis, in the sense of a decisive turning point from which the state might not emerge in its current form. But each of the five strands proposes a slightly different set of central hypotheses, and draws on a slightly different set of cases in support. Systematizing these hypotheses, I draw attention to a neglected distinction between crises that take place in different ecological-economic conditions. This is because crises that occur in conditions of worsening scarcity are hypothesized to have very different causes and trajectories to crises that occur in conditions of sufficiency. But beyond this fundamental scarcity/sufficiency distinction, I find no other contradictions between different hypotheses. Systematizing these theories of state crisis thus establishes a framework for testing these competing, but compatible, hypotheses.
A Methods Note on Remote Sensing Platforms and Large-Scale Archeological Impact Assessments (AIA) in the Philippines
Authors: Canilao Michael Armand P.
Published: April 2023

This short methods note attempts to illustrate how various aerial remote sensing platforms can be utilized in carrying out archeological impact assessments (AIA) on spread-out or large-scale project sites. Cascading remote sensing platforms providing multiscalar (macro, meso, and micro) perspectives are presented in conjunction with the complimentary method of stratified random sampling (SRS). The SRS is informed by a predictive model of where to find archeological sites in the Philippines, even in areas where there are no positive features. This methods note offers the AIA archeologist an efficient and targeted use of limited time and resources following a streamlined workflow process. After carrying out the AIA, further mitigating arrangements can also be undertaken including possible side-by-side monitoring of earthmoving activities by archeologists, and possible recommendation for further revalidations of the initial AIA results.

Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened by CFRP and Steel Rope under Frequent Impact Load
Authors: Abdulla.et.al Aziz I.
Published: April 2023

The current research aims to study the effect of impact loads on reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fibers and/or steel wire rope. The use of steel wire rope is suggested as a new economic technique to strengthen and rehabilitate reinforced concrete beams, as well as to fix the fibers that are being used in strengthening. Reinforced concrete beams subjected to impact load using both carbon fibers and steel wire rope were tested, and the results were compared with the results obtained from reference beams, from beams strengthened with steel wire rope only, and from beams strengthened with carbon fibers only. The results of concrete beams strengthened using any of the three methods and subjected to impact loading showed a decrease in maximum deflection, residual deflection, damping time, and in the number of strikes to reach each phase of failure. The best results, however, were attained when strengthening using steel rope with and without the addition of carbon fibers, which improved the values of dynamic deflection, residual deflection, damping time, and the number of strikes to reach each phase of failure, when compared to beams strengthened by CFRP strips only.

Improving the Behavior of Indirect Evaporative Cooler*
Authors: Dalaf Adham Ahmed , Zidan Maki Haj , Al-Kumait Aadel A.
Published: April 2023

ndirect evaporative cooling is one of the technologies currently used to build highly efficient air conditioning systems and low power consumption. A computer program was created to predict the effectiveness of an indirect-evaporation cooling system which operates based on Maisotsenko cycle (M-cycle) to determine the environmental conditions and proper system design. Several variables that affect the performance of the system have been studied; the amount of volumetric flow of air ranged from (1050 cfm) to (1550 cfm) for the dry side, and changing from 700 cfm to 1200 cfm from the wet side. With respect to design variables, the length of the channel changed from 50 cm to 100 cm. For environmental variables, the effect of changes in dry and wet temperature on system performance had been studied. The experiment was conducted in mid-June over 24 hours. The results showed that the best air supply provided for the best performance of the system is (1050cfm) for the dry side, while the wet side was (900 cfm), when the length of the channel is 80 cm. The results showed the possibility of applying this system in (Tikrit) because it is characterized by its hot and dry climate in the summer, as evaporative cooling efficiency increases in hot, dry climates

The purpose of this descriptive study is to focus on severe nutritional anemia in hospitalized children aged 1–5 years in a tertiary care center in Central India. Hospitalized children were enrolled in the study, and demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, and laboratory data, as well as clinical and laboratory images, were reviewed. For defining severe anemia, the World Health Organization cutoff value was used. Out of total 9850 children of 1–5 years of age group admitted in hospital for 2 years, 197 children had severe nutritional anemia, indicated the incidence of 2%. Lower socioeconomic status and malnutrition were significantly correlated to severe nutritional anemia.
Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma of the urinary bladder: A case report of a rare entity
Authors: Deb Pratap Kumar , Roy Rakesh , Roy Shravasti , Roy Sayak
Published: April 2023

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare, often multifocal, intermediate-grade vascular sarcoma arising from the endothelial cells. Their behavior is intermediate between hemangioma and conventional angiosarcoma. Their rarity and unpredictable clinical behavior result in our still limited understanding and treatment options for this variety of tumors. Molecular diagnostic tools like the presence of WWTR1-CAMTA1 fusion have been developed to aid this challenging diagnosis. There is no definitive consensus on the management of patients with this disease and no commonly accepted treatment strategies have been found to be effective, particularly in the metastatic setting. When possible, surgery with clear margins should be considered in case of localized disease. Here, we not only present such a rare case of EHE of the urinary bladder but also provide a comprehensive discussion on the present treatment modalities offered, as found through a thorough search of the published studies. Finally, more studies are required to establish a standard of care for this rare entity.
