An experiment was carried out in pots under open field conditions in the fall seasons of 2017 and 2018 at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad, for improving field emergence and drought stress tolerance in sorghum. Three factors were studied. 1st factor was three cultivars (Inqath, Rabeh and Buhoth70). 2nd factor was primed and unprimed seed. 3rd factor was represented by the irrigation intervals every 2, 4 and 6 days. Randomized complete block design with four replicates was used. The results showed that Buhoth 70 cultivar had a significant superiority compared to others in traits of the first and final count of emergence, emergence energy and emergence rate index (54.2%, 26.7%, 1.747 and 70.7 % day-1 ) and (58.8%, 22.7%, 1.677 and 7..4 % day-1 ) in both seasons, respectively. The primed seeds had a significant superiority in comparison with unprimed seeds in the same traits above (74.6%, 21.1%, 1.746 and 77.1 % day-1 ) and (64.1%, 24.4%, 1.641 and 7... % day-1 ) in both seasons, respectively. The irrigation interval every 2 days had a significant superiority compared to others in the same traits above (74.6%, 2..7%, 1.746 and 70.2 % day-1 ) and (60.6%, 2...%, 1.616 and 77.4 % day-1 ) in both seasons, respectively. The interaction effect between priming seeds (by gibberellin and salicylic acids) and irrigation intervals was significant on all studied traits. The cultivars were varied in their ability to resist drought stress, and the primed seed has improved their performance to resist drought stress in both seasons.

Authors: Francisco Sánchez-Viesca  , Reina Gómez
Published: January 2023

Strychnine reacts with Mandelin’s reagent giving a violet-blue colouration which changes to orange-red and finally to yellow. The chromic acid test for strychnine was surpassed by Mandelin’s assay due to better reagent stability, lower detection limits and fewer false positives. The reagent is ammonium metavanadate in sulphuric acid. In this communication we provide the reaction route and the mechanism of each step, from the alkaloid to the complex final oxidation product. Several oxidations take place and the vanadic acid formed in situ is reduced to vanadous acid. Some information related to vanadium and vanadium compounds is given in order to understand the reactivity of the involved compound.

The existence survey of the black macaque (Macaca nigra) population was conducted at the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (BNWNP), Bolaang Mongondow, and North Sulawesi of Indonesia from December 2021 to November 2022. The survey using line transect by ‘Complete Count’ method was used to determine population size. The direct observations and questionnaire surveys of the local people were applied to identify the potential threats to the macaque existence. The population comprised 183 individuals from four multimale-multifemale groups and fourteen solitary individuals. The group density was 1.22 groups/km2, and the group size ranged from 34 to 55 individuals (mean of 42.25 ± 9.53). The mean ratio of adults to non-adults were 1:1.35, and the adult male to female ratio was 1:0.96. Macaca nigra was observed to forage and sleep inside range forest adjacent to the limited production forest. The survival of the macaque was threatened by the habitat loss, fragmentation, illegal logging and illegal mining. Other local human activities in opening forest for clove plantation were identified as potential stressors. Therefore, it should be recommended strictly to implement the existing management plan by the Directorate General of Natural Resources Conservation of the Republic of Indonesia. The monitoring and strengthening the capacity of forest departmental staffs should be focused to conserve the endemic fauna including M. nigra and flora vegetation of the animals’ habitats as the valuable economical investment in the forest environmental sustainability of the BNWNP.

Published: January 2023

We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with an atypical hematoma on the lateral side of the tongue. The lesion occurred due to a trauma that happened while he was playing at school. The child did not remember to tell anything to teachers or parents until the hematoma and together with it the pain appeared. Due to the extension of the lesion the parents were really worried about, so they brought to us in urgency the child in order to visit him. After a long conversation with both parents and child, we were able to understand the traumatic nature of the lesion, and to rule out more severe diseases. We proposed LASER biostimulation and LASER photocoagulation to reduce the inflammation state of the lingual tissue and so the pain.
Drug development: Be a fan of the KISS approach (Keep It Super Simple and Safe or …Stupid)
Authors: Pascal St-Laurent  , François-Xavier Lacasse
Published: January 2023

Even though the landscape has evolved sensitively during the last decades, the method of developing a drug - the technology - did not…or should not have changed. However, as mentioned in previous opinions, the emergence of startups in life sciences has left room for brilliant scientists and scientific managers. Nevertheless, it seems that for many of them, their time is spent focusing mainly on the science, which is not a bad thing of course, but entrepreneurs should also maintain the flame and passion in their technology. They seem to forget that more than one government agencies, such as FDA, EMA, Health Canada, and the drug development itself are highly conservative and are huge fans of the KISS (Keep It Super Simple and Safe or …Stupid) approach. For that reason, startups and scientific entrepreneurs should be well surrounded by seasoned drug developers. Science will never be better than regulatory requirements.

El objetivo de la investigación es evidenciar la incidencia que ha brindado el deporte para el desarrollo local en el valle del Chota y su proceso. El tipo de investigación es cualitativa y los instrumentos empleados fueron la entrevista para la recopilación de datos y opiniones a ciudadanos con el propósito de contar con información más próxima al proceso social y económico de la zona en los últimos 20 años. Como resultado, se evidenció que el espiral de la exclusión tiene una gran influencia en el fallido proceso de la construcción de un capital social, que servirá como pilar fundamental para la cooperación de los actores dentro de la zona afro. El resultado más relevante que arrojó la investigación es la migración interna de las familias de los diferentes deportistas por falta de apoyo y ausencia de políticas públicas de parte de las instituciones gubernamentales para el fomento socioeconómico de la zona del valle del Chota.
Deactivated: Exploring why adults in Qatar quit social media
Authors: Yehia Ghenwa , McIntyre Karen
Published: January 2023

Social media use has become ingrained in life in the 21st century. As a result of such pervasiveness, there is extensive research on the myriad of positive and negative effects of social media use on adults worldwide. The State of Qatar is among the countries with the highest social media penetration levels relative to its population. Despite this, some people consciously choose to deactivate from social media. Through theoretical frameworks relating to models and motivations of behavioral change, this qualitative study of 26 participants sought to examine what factors influence adults in Qatar to deactivate one or more social media accounts. Results showed that four themes emerged as reasons for deactivation: impact on time, distorted value, mental/physical health and well-being, and/or a tipping point/instigating incident. Several other factors acted as barriers to or supported discontinuous social media use. This research’s theoretical and practical implications are discussed, along with recommendations for future research.

The Child’s Challenging Behaviour Scale 2 (CCBS-2) is a scale designed for mothers of school-age children with disabilities between the ages of 5 and 18, and evaluates the child's challenging behaviours. This study was carried out to conduct the Turkish cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of CCBS-2. One hundred thirty-eight mothers of disabled children were included in this study. The Child’s Challenging Behaviour Scale-2 Turkish version (CCBS-2-TR) was administered to mothers twice with an interval of 7 days. Internal consistency of CCBS-2-TR was assessed with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. In addition, test–retest reliability was analyzed using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the construct validity. A total of 138 mothers (38.6±6.8 years) and their children (9.8±4.7 years) were included in this study. Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was 0.73, demonstrating that this value has good internal consistency. Test–retest reliability was found as (ICC) 0.930 (ICC 95% CI [0.903- 0.949]. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, CCBS-2-TR was found to be unidimensional. The Turkish version of the Child’s Challenging Behaviour Scale-2 is reliable and valid scale for mothers with children with developmental disabilities. CCBS-2-TR was found to be a brief, well-targeted, and unidimensional scale and this scale can help researchers and clinicians to follow-up maternal health.
Challenges and opportunities on data protection and privacy in healthcare

Published: January 2023

The envisage is the next big thing globally is information. It is the wellspring of literally everything and thus the saying ‘’INFORMATION IS POWER’’ Any continent, country, or organization that is considered a superpower is arguably among the best if not the best in handling information. Healthcare is no exclusion on information demands. The best hospitals in the world have practices and a culture of nurturing data/information. Healthcare data is the impetus to improve patient outcomes, predict outbreaks of epidemics, gain valuable insights, avoid preventable diseases, reduce the cost of healthcare delivery and improve the quality of life in general. In Kenya and many developing countries majority of families are a stone’s throw away from poverty if a family member develops. People who do not have access to healthcare are stuck in a vicious circle of poverty and poor health, which can also lead to social instability and migration consequently, health is a prerequisite to prosperity. No country is considered developed without a good health system and the antithetic applies to developing countries. Health management problems are increasing with the growing population, especially with the increasingly larger aging population. Sometimes no response from the hospital for emergencies creates social issues. Similarly, the medical staff in rural areas do not have sufficient resources for treatment and do not have the expertise to diagnose complex diseases. Due to these reasons, people in rural areas focus on big hospitals for proper medical attention, increasing the load on hospitals. The late detection of diseases and severe health problems of older people also complicates the diagnosis process. Therefore, there is a need to provide better medical facilities using an optimized healthcare system that includes body sensors and medical devices to remotely monitor and diagnose medical problems. A country may or may not have a law for user data protection, but the healthcare system should follow the laws of the country to which the user belongs.

Bu çalışmada, Van ilinde bulunan Edremit ve Gevaş Atıksu Arıtma Tesisleri atıksu karakteristiğinin mevsimsel olarak değişimi incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla atıksu karakterizasyonunu incelemek için arıtma tesislerinin giriş ve çıkışlarından 2021 yılı ocak ve temmuz aylarında numuneler alınmıştır ve bu numunelerde pH, alkalinite, sülfat, askıda katı madde, toplam katı madde, toplam uçucu katı madde, çözünmüş oksijen, biyokimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı, kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı, iletkenlik, sıcaklık, toplam azot, toplam fosfor ve yağ-gres gibi parametreler ölçülmüştür. Gevaş atıksu arıtma tesisinin kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı için ortalama giderim verimi %83, Edremit atıksu arıtma tesisi için ise yaklaşık %80, Gevaş atıksu arıtma tesisinin biyokimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı için ortalama giderim verimi %92, Edremit atıksu arıtma tesisi için ise yaklaşık %86 olarak bulunmuştur. Askıda katı madde giderim verimi Gevaş atıksu arıtma tesisi için yağışlı ve kurak dönem için sırasıyla; %88, %98 iken Edremit atıksu arıtma tesisi için ise %90 ve %84 olmuştur. Her iki arıtma tesisinde arıtma işleminden sonra deşarj edilen atıksuyun birçok parametre için Su Kirliliği Kontrol Yönetmeliği’ne uygun olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçların, diğer atıksu arıtma tesisleri için yol gösterici olacağı kanısındayız ve ayrıca standartlara uymayan parametrelere dikkat edilmesinin zaruri bir durum olduğu raporlanmıştır.
Approximation Properties of a Class of Kantorovich Type Operators Associated with the Charlier Polynomials
Authors: GEZER Kerem , MENEKŞE YILMAZ Mine
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we introduce a kind of Charlier polynomial-based Szász-Kantorovich type operator. We begin by using Korovkin's theorem to demonstrate the uniform convergence of these operators. Second, using mathematical techniques like Peetre’s K-functional notion and the common modulus of the operators, we evaluate the order of convergence of the operators. Third, we use the Voronovskaya type approximation theorem to derive an asymptotic formula for the operator we gave. Finally, we give a numerical example using Maple 2022.

A production network model for the Spanish economy with an application to the impact of NGEU funds
Authors: Fernández-Cerezo Alejandro , Moral-Benito Enrique , Quintana Javier
Published: January 2023

This paper introduces a sectoral model for the Spanish economy that allows a better understanding of the propagation of sector-specific shocks taking into account different network interdependencies. In particular, the model features sector interactions along several dimensions in an open economy setting, either in the provision of intermediate inputs and capital goods or competing in the labour market. This framework is flexible enough to provide insights into the effect of several policy-relevant shocks, such as global value chain bottlenecks, increases in production costs in energy-intensive sectors or large public investment programmes. In order to illustrate the role of such sectoral interactions, we consider a sectorisation of Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds based on Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (RTRP) which will mobilize €69.5 bn in grants. According to our findings, the average impact over a 5-year horizon is 1.15% of GDP if we consider only the direct effect of the investment programmes and expenditure plans, but it increases to 1.75% if we take into account the increase in the productive capacity of certain sectors and its propagation through the production network. Moreover, the resulting expansion is particularly strong in sectors highly dependent on high-skilled labour, such as IT and professional services, which might lead to shortages of high-skilled workers, reducing the aggregate impact on GDP by 25%.

Published: January 2023

Objetivo: Debater as principais repercussões do climatério e menopausa na sexualidade feminina, bem como, elucidar o melhor cenário para o conhecimento científico. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica onde foram encontrados 1.382 artigos, em cinco periódicos nacionais publicados entre 2018 e 2020. Resultados: A revisão trouxe que nem sempre há uma distinção clara por homens e mulheres quanto aos termos climatério e menopausa. Ficou notório que no climatério as mulheres queixam de sintomas tanto biológicos quanto psicológicos, os quais influenciam diretamente na qualidade de vida, em contrapartida, muitas destas não procuram tratamento para reposição hormonal e desconhecem que esses sintomas merecem atenção profissional. A disfunção sexual, na maioria dos casos, está associada aos sintomas somato-vegetativos e urogenitais. Considerações finais: Há necessidade de mais estudos sobre a temática, para evidenciar melhor o panorama e oportunizar capacitação aos profissionais de saúde. O estudo traz contribuição para equipe multiprofissional, pois esclarece o cenário quanto à temática, permitindo a compreensão quanto a necessidade de estratégias e atendimentos direcionados para promoção da saúde da mulher nesta fase da vida.

Community empowerment through swallow nest cultivation is one of the efforts of the Kotabaru Regency Government to increase local revenue (PAD). This study aims to describe a strategy for community empowerment in the management of swallow nest cultivation and the supporting and inhibiting factors for implementing the strategy. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. They were collecting data using in-depth interviews, observation, and document review. The results showed that Kotabaru Regency's Original Regional Revenue (PAD) from community empowerment through swallow nest cultivation was insignificant. The reason is that there are still many weaknesses in the implemented community empowerment strategies. Strategies applied based on SWOT analysis, namely: a) Application of SO (Strength – Opportunities) strategy, is 1. Business assistance. 2 . Protection of business objects.; b) The implementation of the WO (Weakness – Opportunities) strategy is 1. Mapping social potential participatory in developing swallow nest cultivation business; 2. Community organizing and facilitation of sustainable program setting; 3. Capacity building of the community. c) The implementation of ST (Strength – Threats) strategy is 1 . Regulatory determination; 2. Socialization of empowerment. d The application of the WT (Weaknesses – Threats) strategy is 1. Input (capital support, infrastructure, and facilities). 2. Market access for swallow nests. 3. Development of cooperation/network.

Published: January 2023

Studies on political ecology problems always start from justice, poverty, resource inequality, population spikes, and environmental damage. This condition tends to only analyze from the side of causality. This causality explanation has a weakness in answering what allows this condition to occur. The problems in these areas are pretty interesting to study further because regional autonomy is a practice. The Provincial Government and Regency Governments play an essential role in the management and regulation of environmental policies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the political ecology related to the interaction between policy (regulation) and environmental management on social and economic conditions from the perspective of regional autonomy. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research approach. This study's data collection techniques are observation (observation), in-depth interviews, and literature study. The types of data in this study include ecological, economic, and social components of environmental ecosystems. The primary assumption in political ecology is that environmental change is not neutral. Instead, it is a form of a politicalized environment that involves many interested actors. Ecology-politics can be interpreted as a political study that understands human relations with environmental changes resulting from political processes. The political ecology perspective emphasizes that internal problems in the environment rather than external influences, namely due to political and economic pressures outside of itself, including the policy of regional autonomy (decentralization) of natural resources, is not just a technical problem. There are socio-political problems related to access to use and control over natural resources (power and authority). Environmental management problems are caused primarily not by technical failures but also by political failures. This means that the approach in environmental management is sectoral, technocratic, exclusive, and elitist, without considering the economic, social, and political forces that are the leading causes of the destruction of natural resources.
