Authors: Santi Diana Putri  , Ananto Ananto  , Rais Marnis
Published: June 2023

Tanaman cabai merah keriting (Capsicum annuum L) var lado F1 merupakan komoditi unggulan di Indonesia khususnya di Minangkabau. Masyarakat Minang terbiasa dengan makanan yang dimasak dengan menggunakan cabai. Sementara produksi cabai sering mengalami kegagalan oleh karena beberapa faktor termasuk mahalnya harga pupuk yang dijual di pasaran. Petani sering merugi karena tidak seimbangnya antara pendapatan dan biaya pupuk tanaman cabai. Salah satu inovasi agar bisa membantu petani dalam menghemat biaya pupuk dengan membuat pupuk organik sendiri salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan limbah pasar, limbah yang diproduksi dari pasar tersebut sering tidak dimanfaatkan dan hanya menumpuk pada tempat sampah. Sementara limbah organik bisa dimodifikasi sebagai bahan dasar untuk pembuatan pupuk organik cair (POC) yang bisa dimanfaat untuk semua jenis tanaman termasuk tanaman cabai merah keriting varietas lado F1. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mendapatkan data dan melihat efektifitas POC dengan bahan dasar limbah organik pasar terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman cabai merah keriting varietas lado F1. Metode yang digunakan adalah eksperimental rancangan acak kelompok dengan 5 faktor perlakuan dan 5 ulangan sehingga terdapat 25 sampel percobaan dengan dosis POC sebagai berikut : A sebagai kontrol, B dosis 20 %, C dosis 30%, D dosis 40 % dan E  dosis 50 %. Dari penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan didapatkan hasil bahwa dosis POC 50 % limbah organik pasar memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap variabel jumlah daun (114,80 helai), jumlah buah dan bobot buah (26,60 buah) cabai merah keriting (105,60 gram).

Komoditas jagung menjadi salah satu tanaman pangan unggulan di Provinsi Gorontalo dengan luas panen jagung 343.241 ha. Pada tahun 2015, Provinsi Gorontalo mampu melakukan ekspor komoditas jagung ke negara-negara tetangga dengan nilai ekspor sebesar $26.751.599 atau sebesar 85,25% dari total nilai ekspor Provinsi Gorontalo, dengan jumlah produksi jagung dalam rentang waktu 4 bulan mencapai 37.100 ton. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya saing komoditas jagung Provinsi Gorontalo. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Provinsi Gorontalo, dimana Komoditas jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo termasuk dalam 10 besar produksi jagung nasional. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yaitu data produksi dan ekspor jagung dengan periode 10 tahun yaitu tahun 2011 sampai tahun 2020. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah dokumentasi dan wawancara. Teknik analisis data menggunakan RCA (Revaled Comparative Advantage). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai RCA komoditas jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo mencapai 6.870,61 (>1) yang artinya komoditas jagung Provinsi Gorontalo memiliki keunggulan komparatif dengan daya saing yang kuat. Namun nilai Indeks RCA menunjukan bahwa kinerja ekspor komoditas jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo rendah. dimana di tahun 2012 hanya sebesar 0,0056 dan di tahun 2015 sebesar 0,3025 sedangkan ditahun lainya tidak memiliki nilai indeks RCA. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya perhatian pemerintah terkait kebijakan yang dapat diberikan antara lain menjaga kestabilan harga jual jagung khususnya di tingkat produsen (petani) agar tidak terjadi penurunan, dan memberikan fokus perhatian terhadap sektor pertanian, sehingga dapat meningkatkan perekonomian Provinsi Gorontalo.

Published: June 2023

Salah satu daerah yang membudidayakan jagung secara terus menerus setiap musim di Manokwari adalah Kampung Copti Prafi. Kondisi ini menyebabkan mudahnya berkembang penyakit karat daun. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi intensitas serangan penyakit, laju perkembangan penyakit, sifat ketahanan jagung dan pengaruh faktor-faktor iklim terhadap intensitas dan laju perkembangan penyakitnya terhadap penyakit karat daun jagung tersebut. Analisa data dilakukan secara tabulasi dan menggunakan gambar yang dihasilkan dari microsoft excel 2016 untuk membandingkan variabel-variabel pengamatan. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa patogen penyebab penyakit karat di Kampung Copti adalah Puccinia polysora. Intensitas serangan dimulai pada 5 minggu setelah tanam, kemudian terus-menerus mengalami peningkatan hingga minggu ke 11 dimana semua varietas yang diuji menunjukkan respons peka. Laju perkembangan penyakit juga mengalami peningkatan seiring dengan meningkatnya intensitas serangan dan dikategorikan berat. Curah hujan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit. Peningkatan jumlah curah hujan dapat menyebabkan peningkatan perkembangan penyakit karat. Curah  hujan menyebabkan lahan pertanaman menjadi basah dan menimbulkan evapotranspirasi yang menyebabkan kebun menjadi lembab dan memudahkan distribusi penyakit dari satu tanaman jagung ke tanaman jagung yang lainnya pada kebun yang sama atau antar kebun. Kondisi perkembangan penyakit yang meningkat juga disebabkan oleh kepekaan tanaman terhadap ras patogen yang sangat virulen terhadap tanaman jagung.

Published: June 2023

Konsumen memiliki beberapa pertimbangan sebelum memilih merek produk tertentu. Namun, ketika konsumen memilih produk olahan daging, harga tidak lagi menjadi faktor yang utama. Konsumen sadar bahwa produk daging olahan memiliki manfaat lebih dari pada daging segar karena dapat disimpan lebih lama. Kenaikan pembelian produk tersebut menyebabkan peningkatan pengusaha agribisnis baru yang menjual produk daging olahan. Penelitian dilakukan di enam provinsi, yaitu Banten, Jakarta, Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, Yogyakarta, dan Jawa Timur. Provinsi tersebut merupakan sentra konsumen produk olahan daging dan kepadatan penduduk yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan provinsi lain di Indonesia. Studi ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan metode survei untuk menganalisis pengaruh karakteristik sosiodemografi konsumen terhadap persepsi harga dalam memilih merek produk daging olahan. Data primer dikumpulkan menggunakan teknik pengambilan convinience sampling. Sebanyak 456 responden konsumen produk olahan daging terlibat dalam studi ini. Penelitian ini membedakan responden berdasarkan umur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan tingkat pendapatan, lokasi tempat tinggal, jenis kelamin, dan pendidikan terakhir signifikan berpengaruh terhadap perbedaan persepsi harga dalam keputusan pemilihan merek produk (P<0.001).  Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa konsumen dengan karakteristik sosiodemografi yang berbeda memiliki pandangan yang berbeda pula terkait harga dalam menentukan pilihan merek produk olahan daging. Pendapatan konsumen menjadi faktor dominan dalam menentukan merek produk daging ternak olahan tertentu.

The article deals with the problem of using crane-boring machines in the construction of communication lines and power transmission lines, the installation of fence posts and road signs, as well as in the construction of reclamation facilities. The data of experimental studies of these machines in the field to determine the rational modes of their operation in thawed soils are given. As a result of the research, it was found that the analysis of previous studies of the drilling modes of thawed soils does not give a clear idea of the existence and location on the response surface of the area of optimum drilling speed, taken as an optimization parameter. The necessity of researches is emphasized from the description of the area of the response surface by the polynomial of the first degree with the subsequent movement along its surface in the direction of the gradient of the linear approximation. The data of the results of experiments when drilling compacted loam with a drilling tool are given. It is concluded that it is more expedient to drill thawed soils at high rotational frequencies of the drilling tool and feed forces in the range of 1200 – 1700 kgf. The increased rotational speed of the drilling tool also provides the best conditions for transporting destroyed soil from the bottom of wells

Published: June 2023

The article reflects the influence of 2 models of the world (VUCA and BANI) on the development of the tourist and recreational complex of the Russian Federation. The VUCA model that defined development in 2000-2020 – an unstable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world - is now being transformed into a BANI reality – fragile, disturbing, nonlinear, incomprehensible. The article describes the connection of the development of the transport system with other sectors of the economy and the social sphere of the state, during the transition from one reality to another. The article reflects the need to develop principles that combine environmental, technical, technological and economic levers, organizational and managerial and socio-psychological methods, as well as motivation and responsibility systems. The purpose of these measures is to create a transparent and effective innovative business model for the transport provision of tourist agglomerations and federal subjects of the Russian Federation. Innovative principles include modern information, communication and telematics technologies, as well as management technologies. The implementation of these principles will allow travelers to reach their destinations faster, improve safety, optimize the use of transport corridors and road networks, as well as reduce CO2 carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP – ton – ruble – unit of equipment.
For a Postmodernist Writing in Anthropology
Authors: Cârstea Daniela
Published: June 2023

James Clifford’s Partial Truths is an introduction to an anthropological collection of essays, perceived as illustrative of a historical and theoretical movement, of a conceptual shift, consisting in a sharp separation of form from content to its utmost degree, the fetishizing of form. (Carstea 2021: 52) Ethnography, a hybrid activity, thus appears mainly as writing, as collecting. Viewed most broadly, perhaps, it is a mode of travel, a way of understanding and getting around in a diverse world that, since the sixteenth century, has been cartographically unified. I will argue, in concurrence with the postmodernist tenets of anthropology, put forth by James Clifford, that ethnographic knowledge could not be the property of a single discourse or discipline: the condition of off-centredness in a world of distinct meaning systems, a state of being in culture while looking at a culture, permeates postmodernist writing. Thus, to an important degree, the truth recorded is a truth provoked by ethnography, as Clifford acknowledges. The fictional, fashioned self is invariably associated with its culture and its language, namely its coded modes of expression. The subjectiveness he finds is “not an epiphany of identity freely chosen, but a cultural artefact,” (Greenblatt 2008: 257) because the self manoeuvres within possibilities and constraints offered by an institutionalised assortment of collective codes and practices. I will conclude that ethnographic truths cannot be other than inherently partial and incomplete, a fact which justifies and substantiates the experimental, artisanal quality tied to the work of writing, of cultural accounts. Textualization engenders meaning by way of a circuitous movement which insulates and subsequently adds context to an event or fact in its engulfing reality. Ethnography is the interpretation of cultures.

Published: June 2023

Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) is the most important plant parasitic nematode that seriously affects the majority of agricultural crops, where the vessels are targeted inside the roots of the plants, which leads to the lack of water and nutrients from reaching the plants, and thus leads to wilting, yellowing, and stunting in the vegetative section, knots and swellings in the root. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of some nanocomposites (silver Ag-NPs, aluminum oxide nanoparticles, ALO-NPs, ZnO-NPs nanoparticles and Si-NPs silicon nanoparticles) at concentrations of (1000,2000 and 4000) for each one of them to inhibit rootknot nematode egg hatching. These nanocomposites have also been used to evaluate their ability to destroy second-stage juveniles of root-knot nematodes. The study was conducted on the roots of cucumber plants from the greenhouse in the College of Agriculture / University of Karbala. The results of the study showed a significant effect of nanocomposites on the inhibition of egg hatching of root-knot worms and the destruction of second-stage juveniles of these worms. Aluminum oxide nanoparticles (ALO-NPs) parameter was the most efficient and effective in both inhibiting the hatching of nematode eggs and destroying second-stage juveniles of root-knot nematodes. It was found that with increasing concentration, there was a corresponding increase in hatching inhibition and mortality of second-phase juveniles of root-knot worms. We conclude from the current study that the nanocomposites possess streptococcal nematicidal activity and can serve as an alternative to high-risk synthetic nematicides or irregular biological control agents without inducing any phytotoxicity

Published: June 2023

The problem of water seeping through the earth dams or under concrete structure is regarded one of the main reasons of the structures’ failure. This may be due to the failure in soil layer on which the hydraulic structure is constructed or due to the water pressure resulting from a difference in the level of the upstream and downstream. In previous studies have found that the use of concrete sheet piles under the dams is one of the effective solutions to control the seepage of water under structures, this study considers that control of this problem is by using sheet piles. The 2-D F.E. model ANYSIS Program, has been used to analyze the effect of the optimum location of concrete sheet piles affected on seepage water pressure underneath hydraulic structures, when the stability against seepage water pressure against piping were calculated in different cases. The results showed the water pressure reduce, when the sheet pile downstream is used at 60° and depth 6m

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON BIG DATA FRAMEWORKS
Authors: A. SULTAN Nagham , B. ABDULLAH Dhuha
Published: June 2023

With the advent of cloud computing technology, the generation of data from various sources has increased during the last few years. The current data processing technology must handle the enormous volumes of newly created data. Therefore, the studies in the literature have concentrated on big data, which has enormous volumes of almost unstructured data. Dealing with such data needs well-designed frameworks that fulfil developers’ needs and fit colourful purposes. Moreover, these frameworks can use for storing, processing, structuring, and analyzing data. The main problem facing cloud computing developers is selecting the most suitable framework for their applications. The literature includes many works on these frameworks. However, there is still a severe gap in providing comprehensive studies on this crucial area of research. Hence, this article presents a novel comprehensive comparison among the most popular frameworks for big data, such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Apache Storm, and MongoDB. In addition, the main characteristics of each framework in terms of advantages and drawbacks are also deeply investigated in this article. Our research provides a comprehensive analysis of various metrics related to data processing, including data flow, computational model, overall performance, fault tolerance, scalability, interval processing, language support, latency, and processing speed. To our knowledge, no previous research has conducted a detailed study of all these characteristics simultaneously. Therefore, our study contributes significantly to the understanding of the factors that impact data processing and provides valuable insights for practitioners and researchers in the field
EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF SHEET PILES DEPTH ON THE SEEPAGE WATER PRESSURE USING ANYSIS PROGRAM
Authors: Hashim AL QURAISHI Murtdha , Aladdin JAISM Nuralhuda , A. ALAWSI Manal
Published: June 2023

One of the primary factors that causes a hydraulic structure to fail or collapse is the issue of water seepage from beneath "concrete hydraulic structures" or via earthen hydraulic structures. Both the soil layer upon which the hydrological construction was constructed and the flood water imposed on by the difference in height upstream and downstream are potential reasons. One of the most efficient ways to prevent water seepage is to utilize concrete sheet piles underneath hydraulic concrete structures, according to earlier research. This study used the 2-d F.E. "model ANYSIS FLUENT LUNCHER 2020 R, program against water pressure and piping" phenomena in various scenarios, to assess the impact of sheet pile depth on seepage pressure. The outcomes were achieved by a drop in water pressure, which occurred while the sheet pile was located upstream and at a depth of 8 meters

Published: June 2023

Classification of arbitrary moving objects including vehicles and human beings in a real environment (such as protected and sensitive areas) is challenging due to arbitrary deformation and directions caused by shaky camera and wind. This work aims at adopting a spatio-temporal approach for classifying arbitrarily moving objects. The intuition to propose the approach is that the behavior of the arbitrary moving objects caused by wind and shaky camera are inconsistent and unstable while for static objects, the behavior is consistent and stable. The proposed method segments foreground objects from background using the frame difference between median frame and individual frame. This step outputs several different foreground information. The method finds static and dynamic edges by subtracting Canny of foreground information from the Canny edges of respective input frames. The ratio of the number of static and dynamic edges of each frame is considered as features. The features are normalized to avoid the problems of imbalanced feature size and irrelevant features. For classification, the work uses 10-fold cross-validation to choose the number of training and testing samples and the random forest classifier is used for the final classification of frames with static objects and arbitrary movement objects. For evaluating the proposed method, we construct our own dataset, which contains video of static and arbitrarily moving objects caused by shaky camera and wind. The results on the video dataset show that the proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance (76% classification rate) which is 14% better than the best existing method.

Using more than one lakh publication records from the Web of Science database, we tried to identify the scientific activity (publications, collaborations and citations), sectors of collaboration (University- Industry-Government), & subjects of collaboration in the top 10 NIRF ranked engineering institutes and universities in India. The study indicated that collaboration in different types of academic institutions has steadily increased from 2011 to 2020. Greater growth has been observed in domestic collaboration than foreign collaboration. The international collaboration network tends to be very dense with more advantageous countries. Although, international collaboration resulting in more citations, the fractional impact strength of domestic publications is better than foreign. The impact factor of the journal was observed to be a better predictor than the number of authors per article. University-University sector – mainly different departments of the same institute emerge as the predominant form of domestic collaborative research. While assessing the disciplinary output of the top 10 institutions by establishing a subject framework based on the Frascati Manual and Essential Science Indicator of Clarivate, it was observed that Civil, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering; Chemical, Material & Environmental Engineering; Chemical Sciences, and Theoretical aspects of Physics were the major fields amongst science disciplines with overall 52% of domestic and 48% of foreign collaboration.

Text mining has become one of the most common methods used to analyze natural language documents today. In this study, 81 open access journal articles on the topic of “smart libraries” from Google Scholar were analyzed using text mining techniques. Articles were chosen based on the criterion that they had to be open access and have smart libraries as their main component. To analyze the articles and discover interesting text patterns within the retrieved articles, Voyant Tool, an open-source text-mining tool, was used. It assists in finding Corpus Collocates that are closely related in texts as well as identifying n-grams in the field of smart libraries (sequences of words occurring together with the context that surrounds them). Results showed that the most frequently used words in the corpus were smart (3533); information (2253), data (1753); technology (1382); service (1327). Furthermore, findings showed that the longest document had 14210 words and the shortest had 1012. Overall, the study findings will help in understand the smart libraries ecosystem with deeper insight.
Dynamics of Scientometrics Indicators in three distinct Physics Journals with long publication history
Authors: Panda Abinash , Maharana Bulu , Sahu Satya Ranjan
Published: June 2023

Core journals in any subject go through evolution processes before being accepted worldwide. The study of the journal’s evolution with its long publication history gives insight into distinct characteristics acquired over time. This study explores the dynamics in scientometrics indicators of three distinct Physics journals with the same scope but published from different regions and impact factors. The result shows each journal has its discrete contributors, but the host or home country contributes more than 50%. In short or medium duration (decadal), the increase in authorship per article differs from journal to journal. Still, the change is approximately the same over a longer duration (1990-2019) (46.38% to 48.5%). A journal with linear authorship growth only correlates significantly with its impact factor (r = 0.877). These journals also show an increase in international coauthored publications, but the increase mostly depends on the host country’s collaborations. More than 80% of associations are between two countries. The findings establish that irrespective of Physics’s global use and implications, the researchers tend to publish in familiar journals from their region regardless of impact factors. The journals with higher impact factors publish more transnational articles.

Altmetrics indicators are useful for assessing the impact of research and have been increasingly used alongside traditional citations in recent years. Mendeley provides readership statistics which give an early indicator of the impact of research outputs. This study aimed to investigate how Mendeley early readership indicator was associated with later citations across nine selected library and information science (LIS) journals. This study examined bibliographic data of 9 LIS journals extracted from the Scopus database over a 17 months period from June 2019 to November 2020. Data were extracted using Webometric Analyst. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to characterize the relationship between these two variables. The number of readers per paper, and of each journal are described using mean, standard deviation, frequency, and geometric mean. Readership growth was increased in all selected journals, but citation growth was unstable in most of the journals. Early readership statistics positively correlated with early citation analysis in all journals except the Journal of Educational Media and Library Science, which had a weaker positive correlation. The correlation between early readership and later citation numbers varied, with some journals being moderately positive and some weakly positive.
Global and regional trends of the century+ in the Middle East: A new interpretation
Authors: Kuznetsov V. А. , Naumkin V. V.
Published: June 2023

The study focuses on a set of issues related to the assessment of key trends in the development of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which has been raised in the research published by Russian academicians V.G. Baranovskii and V.V. Naumkin in 2018. The aim of this paper is to reexamine their estimates and forecasts in the light of recent developments and on this basis to take a fresh look at the future of the MENA region. To that end, the first section of the paper revisits the main findings of the 2018 research. It shows which of the global and regional trends outlined there have retained their relevance under modern conditions, and which ones need serious reappraisal. In particular, the authors note that the trend towards the universalization of regional political systems stemmed from their overall modernization is being increasingly counterbalanced by the revival of archaic socio-political practices. The recent developments in the region have had an even greater impact on the process of democratization and the globalization-regionalization dichotomy. The authors argue that these changes were not completely unforeseen; on the contrary, they were anticipated if one looks at them through the lens of neo-modernism. The second section analyzes current trends in regional development. It shows that though the most acute regional conflicts in the MENA region are gradually de-escalating, centrifugal tendencies are becoming more evident, as heterogeneity of political systems and regimes increases. In this context, the discourses of decolonization and neocolonialism, as well as symbolic politics in general, are gaining a whole new meaning.
Génesis, evolución y retos en el proceso de vertebración del Estado en España
Authors:   , Quintana Delfrade Ana Isabel
Published: June 2023

En octubre de 2017, España vivió un episodio soberanista que puso en cuestión la naturaleza del Estado Autonómico resultante de la Constitución de 1978. Cuestionando tanto la unidad del Estado como la soberanía de la Nación española, los independentistas catalanes acentuaron las tensiones subyacentes a la actual organización territorial española y pusieron de manifiesto sus fragilidades. España, en el extremo occidental de Europa, es un país unitario pero plural, una encrucijada en la que convergen y de la que parten elementos de orígenes diversos. Lugar de intercambios y contrastes, la interfaz peninsular sirve de enlace entre África, América Latina y Europa Occidental. Si bien estos elementos han propiciado la aparición de un área de sincretismo e influencia cultural, la Península Ibérica se presenta también como un mosaico de pueblos y tradiciones profundamente arraigados que constituyen la esencia de su carácter múltiple y contrastado. En última instancia, la crisis que atraviesan actualmente los Estados Autónomos es representativa del desconcierto de la sociedad española ante los excesos nacionalistas independentistas, así como de la pérdida de identidad y el desencanto provocados por la incapacidad de la clase política para definir un proyecto de futuro capaz de vertebrar la nación española en su conjunto. Agrupar a los españoles en torno a la construcción de un Estado más representativo de las especificidades de los pueblos que lo componen y más solidario es uno de los principales retos a los que se enfrenta hoy España para afrontar con confianza su futuro.

Ultrasound confirmed vital pregnancy of conjoined twins – thoracopagus. After prenatal diagnostic consultation the patient decided for termination of pregnancy. Molecular analysis confirmed a female fetus without any chromosomal anomalies. Conclusion: The occurrancce of conjoined twins is very rare. Early prenatal ultrasound diagnosis plays an important role. Presented case report describes conjoined twins with poor prognosis because of one shared malformed heart. Key words: monochorionic twins – conjoined twins – thoracopagus
Obesity and assisted reproduction

The World Health Organization defines obesity as an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that is harmful to health. Obesity and overweight have a negative effect not only on general health, but also on reproductive health. Obesity is associated with reduced fertility, more frequent pregnancy losses and other pregnancy complications. Due to an obesity pandemic, an increasing proportion of women seeking medical help for infertility will be overweight or obese. Obesity is involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), approximately 40–70% of PCOS patients are overweight or obese. The risk of miscarriage is increased in obese women who become pregnant after in vitro fertilisation, regardless of whether their own oocytes or donated oocytes are used. In men, the link between obesity and reduced fertility is less well-studied than in women. Mechanisms by which obesity may affect spermatogenesis include thermal effects, hyperestrogenism, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, diabetes mellitus, sexual dysfunction, and sperm epigenetic disorders. Obesity in both women and men negatively affects the results of assisted reproduction. Overweight or obese women should be informed about the overall health and obstetric risks and about the lower success rate of infertility treatment with assisted reproduction methods. Key words: obesity – overweight – assisted reproduction – polycystic ovary syndrome – infertility – in vitro fertilization

Published: June 2023

Intrauterine adhesions are a serious complication that occurs after intrauterine procedures, most often in connection with pregnancy. Manifestations such as amenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility for a woman, especially in reproductive age, are serious and together with intrauterine adhesions we call them Asherman’s syndrome. Primary prevention after intrauterine procedures is important. Published studies show that the use of hyaluronic acid gel, especially after abortions, leads to the prevention of moderate and severe intrauterine adhesions and also increases the pregnancy rate. Key words: hyaluronic acid – intrauterine adhesions – Asherman – prevention – abortions

Objective: There are many types of pelvic pain. Pelvic plexus pain, coccyx pain, pain from episiotomy scars, and vulvodynia are frequently seen in postpartum women. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies on pelvic pain in postpartum women to assess the effect of physiotherapy interventions on each type of pain. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted by searching on PubMed, Ovid Embase and Scopus Web of Science using the key words – pelvic pain, women after childbirth, pelvic girdle pain, coccygodynia, episiotomy, vulvodynia, and physiotherapy. The author reviewed all the identified articles and selected articles for inclusion according to relevance to the topic. Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the above studies, it can be concluded that a comprehensive physiotherapy designed for postpartum women that includes manual techniques, behavioral techniques, relaxation of hypo-tonic and shortened muscles and strengthening of hypotonic muscles can positively affect a wide range of pain and associated dysfunctions of the pelvic floor and trunk muscles. Key words: postpartum women – pain – episiotomy – pelvic girdle – coccyx – vulvodynia
