OPTIMIZATION OF DESTANA POLICIES (RESILIENCE DISASTER VILLAGE) TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS FOR FLOOD DISASTER IN BOJONEGORO DISTRICT, INDONESIA
Authors: Hafni Nur
Published: April 2021

Natural disasters are one of the impacts on environmental dynamics, both natural and as a result of human behavior. The Destana (Disaster Resilient Village) policy is one of the programs created by BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) and implemented by BPBD (Regional Disaster Management Agency) as one of the government's efforts in dealing with disaster problems. The purpose of the study is to describe how Destana plays an optimal role in increasing community preparedness in dealing with floods. Using a qualitative approach, this study conducted observations on 11 Destana in Bojonegoro, conducted interviews with BPBD and each Destana coordinator and documented the activities Destana had carried out to improve community preparedness. The first finding in the implementation of Destana is a medium for the community together with stakeholders in disaster management to carry out activities related to increasing community knowledge about flood preparedness. The second result is that through Destana the community becomes more aware of its environment and has a responsibility to protect itself. Finally, there is a pattern of optimizing the use of rural resources to be used in every Destana activity. The three results indicate that Destana has been used and is running optimally in an effort to increase community preparedness in facing flood disasters. Optimizing the use of Destana in this study shows that the community plays an active role by utilizing their local knowledge and resources. In addition, the government remains the main actor in implementing disaster preparedness policies.

This paper presents a fact about the Class Average of Two Generations ( 2011 and 2012 generations). It consists of five classes, includes Extension, A, B, C, and D. But the writer would like to analyze one class only, namely D class. Because the average class data stated, there is a drastic increasing point. To achieve the credibility of this research, the researcher uses average class data from another generation. So, the writer does the comparison process between 2011 and 2012 generations. Finally, through this paper, we can prove that some factors influenced the class average of two generations from D classes on nursing students at the Moluccas Christian University of Indonesia. Shortly, we can conclude that the D class of the 2012 generation has a higher class average point than the 2011 generation.
Social identity shapes antecedents and functional outcomes of moral emotion expression in online networks
Authors: Brady William J. , Van Bavel Jay Joseph
Published: April 2021

There is increasing evidence that moral and emotional rhetoric spreads widely on social media and is associated with intergroup conflict, polarization, and the spread of misinformation. However, this literature is largely correlational, making it unclear why moral and emotional content drives sharing and conflict. In this research, we examine the causal impact of moral-emotional content on sharing decisions and examining how social identity shapes the antecedents and functional outcomes of decisions to share. Across five pre-registered experiments (N = 2,498), we find robust evidence that the inclusion of moral-emotional expressions in political messages causes intentions to share the messages on social media. Moreover, individual differences in the strength of partisan identification and ideological extremity are robust predictors of sharing messages with moral-emotional expressions, even when accounting for attitude strength. But we only found mixed evidence that brief manipulations of identity salience increased sharing. In terms of functional outcomes, when partisans choose to share messages with moral-emotional language, people perceive them as more strongly identified among their partisan ingroup, but less open-minded and less worthy of conversation with outgroup members. These experiments highlight the causal role of moral-emotional expression in online sharing intentions, and how such expressions in online networks can serve ingroup reputation functions while hindering discourse between political groups.
Benefits of immersive spatial audio on athlete reaction times in e-sports
Authors: Brandmeyer Alex , Swedlow Nathan , Hertensteiner Mark , Crum Poppy
Published: April 2021

E-sports athletes compete in a wide variety of environments where the technologies used during gameplay directly influence the speed of player reactions and, in turn, the results of the competition. This is well-understood in the context of video display components (e.g. monitors, graphics cards). The impact of audio technologies on player reaction times has received less attention, but is highly relevant, particularly in the context of first-person 3D gaming environments. Here, audio has the ability to inform athletes of important events occurring outside the current field of view. The present study assessed player performance metrics including reaction time in a simple first-person gaming environment. Standard stereo audio presentation was used alongside two commercially available immersive spatial audio solutions. Athletes completed a training round plus three additional rounds of gameplay. It was observed that the immersive spatial audio solutions led to improved reaction times relative to stereo presentation, and that there were differences in the relative benefits of the two immersive playback solutions. These results are discussed in the context of their implications for competitive e-sports technology considerations, and in particular with respect to the use of standardized versus personalized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs).

A Qualitative Study of Intention and Impact of Ayahuasca Use by Westerners
Authors: Bathje Geoff , Fenton Jon , Pillersdorf Daniel , Hill London
Published: April 2021

Ayahuasca has gained the attention of researchers over the past decade as psychedelic-assisted therapy for MDMA and psilocybin have progressed through FDA approved clinical trials. In spite of the increase in research, there are relatively few clinical studies of ayahuasca and little qualitative research on the therapeutic or healing uses of psychedelics in general. The present study included 41 Western participants who were interviewed about their participation in facilitated group ayahuasca experiences (e.g. in shamanic, neoshamanic, spiritual, and religious settings). Participants were interviewed about their intentions for participating, along with the perceived impact of the experiences. In particular, we focused on impacts that participants perceived to be sustained and enduring. We identified an impressive range of beneficial impacts, including improvements in areas that are often a focus of psychotherapy, such as mental health and substance use, health behaviors, interpersonal relationships, sense of self, attitude. Extratherapeutic effects were also observed in areas such as changes in creativity, somatic sensations, physical health/pain, sense of connection to nature, spirituality, and concern for the greater good. Two participants also reported problematic experiences, apparently related to set and setting. Implications for research and practice, along with a humanistic framework for interpreting these findings is provided.
Esports Agents with a Theory of Mind: Towards Better Engagement, Education, and Engineering
Authors: Shergadwala Murtuza , El-Nasr Magy Seif
Published: April 2021

The role of AI in esports is shifting from leveraging games as a testbed for improving AI algorithms to addressing the needs of the esports players such as enhancing their gaming experience, esports skills, and providing coaching. For AI to be able to effectively address such needs in esports, AI agents require a theory of mind, that is, the ability to infer players' tactics and intents. To that end, in this position paper, we argue for human-in-the-loop approaches for the discovery and computational embedding of the theory of mind within behavioral models of esports players. We discuss that such approaches can be enabled by player-centric investigations on situated cognition that will expand our understanding of the cognitive and other unobservable factors that influence esports players' behaviors. We conclude by discussing the implications of such a research direction in esports as well as broader implications in engineering design and design education.

A COMPERATIVE STUDY OF EXORCISM BETWEEN THE AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION AND PENTECOSTALISM
Authors: chanda armstrong
Published: April 2021

The belief in the existence of the evil spirits throughout the human history of religious beliefs and adherence has led to the belief that these evil spirits possess people and things and influence them to act weirdly and unholy hence the need to cast them away of the human life. Exorcism has been a prominent practice among the African traditional religions and Christian churches such as Pentecostals. They have been using exorcism to treat suspected victims of demonic possession. The practice of exorcism by ATRs and Pentecostal churches show some resemblance and dissimilarities. The similarities and dissimilarities between the two cover two major areas; diagnostic methods and exorcism practice. Each of the two religions has its distinctive and elaborate diagnostic and exorcism features, yet there are areas of semblance. Exorcism is an integral part of religion. Every religion practices this religious activity some more often than the others. Therefore, having a detailed glance at exorcism from the African traditional religion and Pentecostal churches from a comparative analytical perspective is imperative. An attempt to discuss the meaning of exorcism, healing, spirits, and spirit possession from both ATR and Pentecostalism is imperiously unavoidable.
Stable isotope paleoecology of the Baynunah Formation
Authors: Uno Kevin , Bibi Faysal
Published: April 2021

The Baynunah Formation contains the only known late Miocene terrestrial fossils from the Arabian Peninsula. Based on renewed field work since 2002, we present paleoenvironmental and dietary reconstructions from carbon isotope data from plant wax biomarkers and carbon and oxygen isotope data from fossil tooth enamel in combination with previously published fossil tooth enamel and pedogenic carbonate isotope data. The organic and isotopic data indicate that the highly seasonal ecosystem supported a herbivore community that relied heavily on C4 vegetation. Carbon isotope and molecular abundance data from n-alkanes indicate mostly mixed C3-C4 and C4-dominated ecosystems. Carbon isotope data from fossil teeth indicate a range of C3, mixed C3-C4, and C4 diets, with suids, deinotherids, and rhinocerotids browsing, and bovids, elephantids, and equids mixed feeding to grazing. Hippopotamids show the most positive carbon and most negative oxygen values, with narrow ranges indicating year-round grazing and semi- aquatic habits. The Baynunah sivatheres represent the earliest evidence for a C4-dominanted diet among giraffids. Equid intratooth oxygen isotope profiles indicate a highly seasonal hydroclimate regime, reflecting strong monsoonal conditions with a single rainy season. Corresponding carbon profiles record large seasonal changes in equid diets, with mainly grazing in the wet season and increased browsing in the dry season. Baynunah ecosystems comprised savanna habitats (woody grasslands) with the proboscidean trackway site of Mleisa 1 likely being a seasonally flooded C4 grassland.
Social Expectations and Abilities to Meet Them as Possible Mechanisms of Youth Personality Development
Authors: Hang Yuzhan , Soto Christopher J. , Lee Billy , Mõttus René
Published: April 2021

Rationale: Personality traits change in both mean levels and variance from childhood through mid-adolescence, but the mechanisms underlying these developmental trends remain unknown. We tested the possible roles of social pressure and self-regulation. Methods: The Common-Language California Child Q-Set was used to measure youths’ mean-level personality, social expectations for youths’ behavior from multiple perspectives (parents, teachers, peers) and the self-regulatory requirements for achieving the desired trait levels. Results: There were consistent expectations for youths’ traits, regardless of who described the expectations or whether these pertained to children or adolescents. Mean trait levels were moderately commensurate with social expectations, but age differences in the means did not follow these expectations. Traits with strong expectations showed more pronounced individual differences and increased even more in variance with age. In contrast, traits’ self-regulation requirements did not predict their developmental trends. Implications: Strong social expectations may contribute to the development of individual differences.

Authors: Banjade Ishwari Prasad
Published: April 2021

Home-stay is new model of tourism development in Nepal which provides an excellent opportunity to share, see and feel the diverse countryside lifestyle, local culture, and tradition. It promotes the rural economy through the promotion of rural tourism. The article aims to assess the economic contribution of home stay entity of Nepal, based on the descriptive and exploratory research design. Data were collected from the 8 homestays out of 45 listed in Nepal Tourism Board. 55 households were selected randomly from 8 home-stays from different locations from the hinterland of Kathmandu valley. The result based on statistics reflects the significant increase in income and expenditure of local people in study areas. It is found that majority of respondents have managed their household expenditure from the income from home-stay. The income status of homestays in study areas was found good. All home-stay operators have reported the increment in their savings and credit activities which directly contributes to the improvement in their economic status. However, it is also found that there need to improve the quality in home stays to increase the income of home-stay operators. The inequality pattern of male is more than women and have equal decision-making status.
Informal Economy and Poverty in Urban Nepal
Authors: Adhikari Dipak Bahadur
Published: April 2021

Informal sector plays a crucial role in employing a significant part of the economically active population of Nepal. The Nepal Labour Force Survey(NLFS) - 2017/18 has estimated around 62 percent of people to be currently employed in the informal sector. It is estimated that there are 84.6 percent of the currently employed who are informally employed in all industries as compare to formal employment 15.4 percent in Nepal. Employment is the main source of income of poor people which is still considered to be the most effective vehicle to take them out of poverty. People of rural areas are gradually coming to urban areas. So, economic growth and structural changes are increasingly linked to urbanization process. More people will live in urban settlements than in rural areas. Metropolitan cities of Nepal like Lalitpur can offer the lure of better employment, education, and healthcare and they also contribute disproportionately to the economy of the country. However, rapid urban expansion is often associated with poverty and rapid growth of informal sector urban area.

Staphylococcus aureus is a major public health concern. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is not only resistant to methicillin and other β-lactam antibacterial agents but also to other antibacterial agents. Therefore, new agents are needed to treat Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The main aim of the present research was to study the antibacterial activity of four plants extract against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus at the purpose of overcoming its infection. The current investigation was carried out at Pokhara Bigyan tatha Prabidhi Campus based on the evaluation of traditional plants on its antibacterial activity against MRSA. Antibacterial activity of the medicinal plant extract was observed by mixing 100 g powder of collected leaves in 70% methanol making 1000 sml. After performed processes, extract was filtered and methanol was evaporated. Antibacterial activity of the medicinal plant extract was determined using agar well diffusion assay method. Methanol leaf extracts may have the potential to act against MRSA and could be a possible source to obtain new and effective herbal medicines to treat infections caused by methicillin resistant strains of microorganisms from community as well as hospital settings. The synergistic effect was clearly observed among all four medicinal herbs.

Romantic Elements in Laxmiprasad Devkota’s Muna-Madan
Authors: Thapa Dharma Bahadur
Published: April 2021

This article is an attempt to study Laxmiprasad Deckota’s poetic work Muna-Madan to see how much it concords the romantic philosophical parameters. It analyses the textual properties of the work on the basis of romantic principles and philosophy propounded by William Wordsworth in his famous essay “Preface to Lyrical Ballads.” It also invokes C. W. F. Von Schlegel’s poetic theory and the philosophically grounded definitions of romanticism given by authors like Bertrand Russell, Justin and Gaarder. Finally the paper comes to the conclusion that Devkota’s Muna-Madan contains all the major characteristics like strong subjectivism, foregrounding of folk culture, privileging the common over the sophisticated and spiritualization of nature that a romantic poetry should possess.

Проблемі використання інформаційних технологій в навчальному процесі присвячено велика кількість педагогічних досліджень, однак актуальною залишається проблеми підготовки майбутніх вчителів до педагогічно виваженого добору компонентів методичних систем навчання в умовах швидкої зміни і розвитку комп’ютерно-орієнтованих засобів навчання. Використання таких засобів навчання може докорінно змінювати освітню діяльність учнів. Постає проблема підготовки майбутніх вчителів до умов навчання, що швидко змінюються, і педагогічно виваженого добору не тільки засобів навчання, а й всіх компонентів методичної системи навчання. Для педагогічно виваженого застосування компонентів методичної системи навчання в своїй професійній діяльності вчителі повинні не тільки їх знати і вміти застосовувати, а й розуміти педагогічний ефект від їх поєднання. Під час підготовки майбутніх вчителів до педагогічно виваженого застосування компонентів методичної системи навчання студенти педагогічних закладів вищої освіти спочатку розглядають існуючі засоби, методи, організаційні форми навчання, а потім вчаться здійснювати навчальний процес за різних способів поєднання компонентів методичної системи навчання, а також здійснюють порівняльний аналіз застосування різних конфігурацій компонентів методичної системи навчання. В статті подано приклад методики підготовки майбутніх вчителів до педагогічно виваженого добору компонентів методичної системи навчання. Зроблено висновок, що така методика проведення занять на етапі теоретичного навчання в педагогічних закладах вищої освіти сприяє не тільки кращому засвоєнню знань щодо різних компонентів методичної системи навчання майбутніми вчителями, а й розумінню відмінностей у навчальній діяльності учнів за різних умов здійснення навчального процесу, розвитку вміння застосування диференціації в навчальному процесі.

The results of the study of the deep structure of the lithosphere in Eastern Siberia are presented. Based on data on the thickness of the permafrost ice horizon, gravity anomalies, geomagnetic field anomalies and seismological data, a model of the structure of the lithosphere of regions with a stable ice horizon thickness was obtained. It is shown that areas with large values of the thickness of the ice horizon gravitate towards the powerful roots of the lithosphere with increased density and magnetization. It has been suggested that the stability of permafrost horizons is provided by cold blocks of the lithosphere roots, which overlap the heat of the mantle. To search for endogenous causes of climatic risks in areas with accelerated degradation of permafrost, deep sections of the earth's crust were built. Analysis of data on the thickness of the ice horizon together with deep sections showed that fluid channels of deep vertical fault zones play a decisive role in the permafrost destruction process. Accelerated degradation of permafrost is localized near the outcrops of fluid-magmatic channels, where specific melting zones have been identified in the form of through taliks caused by endogenous factors of directional action under the influence of fluid flows rising from a depth of ~50–100 km. The studies carried out make it possible to understand the possible causes of the destruction of infrastructure in the permafrost zone and to predict the location of the most probable areas of accelerated degradation.

The Curious Case of Slovakia
Authors: Reptova Novakova Zuzana
Published: April 2021

A singular focus on the formal institutional reforms and economic variables misses the mark when it comes to explaining the decreasing support for liberal democracy in Central and Eastern Europe. This article suggests that over thirty years after the beginning of the “transition to democracy,” a closer look at the conditional factors of social quality can shed a different light on the transformation of societal realities. In particular, it pays attention to the extent to which people are able to participate in social and societal relationships under conditions that enhance their well-being, capacity, and individual potential. Slovakia is chosen as a case study, as it is both representative of some of the wider malaises characteristic of the younger European democracies and as it is a rather interesting example of liberal democracy within the region.

Authors: Cimek Gracjan
Published: April 2021

This article presents the impact of the changing world order on the situation of Central and Eastern Europe, paying particular attention to Poland. It looks at the geopolitical and economic conditions during the regional superpower rivalry between the United States, China, Russia, and the European Union within the emerging multipolar order, which is manifested in the 17 + 1 format and the Three Seas Initiative. Poland, trying to get out of the peripheral status resulting from the neoliberal shock doctrine, is currently losing its ability to balance between China and the United States, is antagonizing Russia in the process, and weakening ties within the European Union. Changing its peripheral dependence requires a reevaluation of its stance toward Eurasian integration and its openness to China.

OBJECTIVE

In the pediatric population, few studies have examined outcomes for neurosurgical accidental trauma care based on hospital characteristics. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between hospital ownership type and children's hospital designation with primary outcomes.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project 2006, 2009, and 2012 Kids’ Inpatient Database. Primary outcomes, including inpatient mortality, length of stay (LOS), and favorable discharge disposition, were assessed for all pediatric neurosurgery patients who underwent a neurosurgical procedure and were discharged with a primary diagnosis of accidental traumatic brain injury.

RESULTS

Private, not-for-profit hospitals (OR 2.08, p = 0.034) and freestanding children's hospitals (OR 2.88, p = 0.004) were predictors of favorable discharge disposition. Private, not-for-profit hospitals were also associated with reduced inpatient mortality (OR 0.34, p = 0.005). A children's unit in a general hospital was associated with a reduction in hospital LOS by almost 2 days (p = 0.004).

CONCLUSIONS

Management at freestanding children's hospitals correlated with more favorable discharge dispositions for pediatric patients with accidental trauma who underwent neurosurgical procedures. Management within a children's unit in a general hospital was also associated with reduced LOS. By hospital ownership type, private, not-for-profit hospitals were associated with decreased inpatient mortality and more favorable discharge dispositions.

OBJECTIVE

The authors present a new “bloodless” technique for minimally invasive robotic thermocoagulative hemispherotomy (ROTCH). Such a method is being described in the literature for the first time.

METHODS

A robotic system was used to plan five sets of different trajectories: anterior disconnection, middle disconnection, posterior disconnection, corpus callosotomy, and temporal stem and amygdalar disconnection. A special technique, called the “X” technique, allowed planar disconnection. Registration was performed with surface landmarks (n = 5) and bone fiducials (n = 1). Coregistration with O-arm images was performed one or two times to confirm the trajectories (once for middle disconnection, and once for disconnection of the temporal stem and amygdala or body of the corpus callosum). Impedance measured before ablation allowed for minor adjustments. Radiofrequency ablation was performed at 75°C–80°C for 60 seconds. Surgical procedures were performed with multiple twist drills. After removal of the electrode, glue was used to prevent CSF leak, and a single stitch was applied. Follow-up CT and MRI were immediately performed.

RESULTS

The pathologies included Rasmussen's encephalitis (n = 2), hemispheric cortical dysplasia (n = 2), posttraumatic encephalomalacia (n = 1), and perinatal insult (n = 1). The mean ± SD (range) age was 6.7 ± 3.6 years (5 months to 10.2 years), and the right side was affected in 4 patients. The mean ± SD seizure frequency was 7.4 ± 5.6 seizures per day (1 patient had epilepsia partialis continua). The mean ± SD number of trajectories was 15.3 ± 2.5, and the mean ± SD number of lesions was 108 ± 25.8. The mean ± SD maximum numbers of trajectories and lesions required for middle disconnection were 7.1 ± 1.7 and 57.5 ± 18.4, respectively. All but 1 patient had class 1 outcomes according to the International League Against Epilepsy Outcome Scale at a mean ± SD (range) follow-up of 13.5 ± 1.6 (12–16) months; the remaining patient had a class 2 outcome. The estimated blood loss was < 5 ml for all patients. Complications included repeat surgery (after 2 weeks) for a “skip” area (n = 1) and a small temporal hematoma (n = 1), which resolved.

CONCLUSIONS

ROTCH seems to be a safe, feasible, and bloodless procedure, with a very low morbidity rate and promising outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

Cervical traction in pediatric patients is an uncommon but invaluable technique in the management of cervical trauma and deformity. Despite its utility, little empirical evidence exists to guide its implementation, with most practitioners employing custom or modified adult protocols. Expert-based best practices may improve the care of children undergoing cervical traction. In this study, the authors aimed to build consensus and establish best practices for the use of pediatric cervical traction in order to enhance its utilization, safety, and efficacy.

METHODS

A modified Delphi method was employed to try to identify areas of consensus regarding the utilization and implementation of pediatric cervical spine traction. A literature review of pediatric cervical traction was distributed electronically along with a survey of current practices to a group of 20 board-certified pediatric neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons with expertise in the pediatric cervical spine. Sixty statements were then formulated and distributed to the group. The results of the second survey were discussed during an in-person meeting leading to further consensus. Consensus was defined as ≥ 80% agreement on a 4-point Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree).

RESULTS

After the initial round, consensus was achieved with 40 statements regarding the following topics: goals, indications, and contraindications of traction (12), pretraction imaging (6), practical application and initiation of various traction techniques (8), protocols in trauma and deformity patients (8), and management of traction-related complications (6). Following the second round, an additional 9 statements reached consensus related to goals/indications/contraindications of traction (4), related to initiation of traction (4), and related to complication management (1). All participants were willing to incorporate the consensus statements into their practice.

CONCLUSIONS

In an attempt to improve and standardize the use of cervical traction in pediatric patients, the authors have identified 49 best-practice recommendations, which were generated by reaching consensus among a multidisciplinary group of pediatric spine experts using a modified Delphi technique. Further study is required to determine if implementation of these practices can lead to reduced complications and improved outcomes for children.

Published: April 2021

OBJECTIVE

The use of intrawound vancomycin powder in spine surgery has been shown to decrease the rate of surgical site infections; however, the optimal dose is unknown. High-dose vancomycin inhibits osteoblast proliferation in vitro and may decrease the rate of solid arthrodesis. Bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotent cells that are a source of osteogenesis in spine fusions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of vancomycin on rat BMSC viability and differentiation in vitro.

METHODS

BMSCs were isolated from the femurs of immature female rats, cultured, and then split into two equal groups; half were treated to stimulate osteoblastic differentiation and half were not. Osteogenesis was stimulated by the addition of 50 µg/mL l-ascorbic acid, 10 mM β-glycerol phosphate, and 0.1 µM dexamethasone. Vancomycin was added to cell culture medium at concentrations of 0, 0.04, 0.4, or 4 mg/mL. Early differentiation was determined by alkaline phosphatase activity (4 days posttreatment) and late differentiation by alizarin red staining for mineralization (9 days posttreatment). Cell viability was determined at both the early and late time points by measurement of formazan colorimetric product.

RESULTS

Viability within the first 4 days decreased with high-dose vancomycin treatment, with cells receiving 4 mg/mL vancomycin having 40%–60% viability compared to the control. A gradual decrease in alizarin red staining and nodule formation was observed with increasing vancomycin doses. In the presence of the osteogenic factors, vancomycin did not have deleterious effects on alkaline phosphatase activity, whereas a trend toward reduced activity was seen in the absence of osteogenic factors when compared to osteogenically treated cells.

CONCLUSIONS

Vancomycin reduced BMSC viability and impaired late osteogenic differentiation with high-dose treatment. Therefore, the inhibitory effects of high-dose vancomycin on spinal fusion may result from both reduced BMSC viability and some impairment of osteogenic differentiation.
