Authors: Tuladhar Jyoti Badan , Shrestha Aashma
Published: May 2022

Background: Adolescents being a vulnerable population undergo different changes during adolescents in which sexual and reproductive growth and development is one of them. Par­ents are expected to socialize with their adolescents through sexual and reproductive health communication to prevent risky sexual behaviors. This study aimed to assess adolescents and parent communication on sexual and reproductive health issues.
Methods: A cross–section study was conducted among 213 students of grade eight, nine and ten from two schools of Sankhu, Nepal. Structured modified questionnaire was used to assess ado­lescent and parent communication on sexual and reproductive health by using self- administered technique.
Results: Among 213 adolescents, 9.1%, 3.8%, 2.8% discussed a lot about topics of sexual and re­productive health such as menstruation, pubertal changes and birth control respectively while relationship with opposite sex, abortion and sexually transmitted infections were never discussed by80.8%, 70.4% 59.6% of the adolescents respectively. Communication on different topics were low among majority of the adolescents (55.9%) and were significantly associated with gender and adolescents’ felt closer parent (p=<0.05). Quality of communication was high among more than half of the adolescents (51.2%) and was significantly associated with age, gender and their felt ap­proachable parent for sexual and reproductive health communication (p=<0.05).
Conclusions: Though the quality of communication regarding sexual and reproductive health was found to be high, communication on sexual and reproductive health issues were infrequent and critical elements like relationship with opposite sex, sexually transmitted infections, abortion and fertilization were avoided.

Published: May 2022

Background: Online learning has become a common mode of delivering education in Covid-19 era and our institute is not an exception. The objective of this study was to examine the perception of our students regarding the equivalence of online and face to face learning.
Methods: This questionnaire based online study was conducted at Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara among all the medical and dental undergraduate students with a sample size calculated as 180. The students’ perception in terms of general equivalence, flexibility, level of interaction, knowledge gained, and ease of online courses were collected. The data was entered in SPSS 20 and descriptive statistics was performed. The correlation between the variables was done using Spearman’s correlation analysis.
Results: The total participants in this study were 187. Online learning wasn’t perceived to be equivalent to face-to-face learning in general (2.82±1.10). Online class was perceived to be more flexible (4.49± 1.10), to provide less opportunity to interact with instructor and peers (3.17±1.13), and to gain less knowledge (3.36± 1.27). However, both were perceived to be relatively similar in terms of ease (3.79±0.8). The comparatively less interaction was correlated to less knowledge gained through online classes (r value = 0.67, P<0.01).
Conclusions: The result of this study suggests that the students didn’t find the online learning to be equivalent to face-to-face learning and the online learning experience can be correlated with interactive sessions.

Poultry feeds mainly consist of cereal grains and crops that are vulnerable to fungal infection. Improper handling of the feeds increases spoilage and contamination by aflatoxigenic fungi. The aim of this study was to determine fungal contamination including characterization of toxigenic and non-toxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains in poultry feed and its ingredients. We collected 200 composite samples of compound poultry feeds and their ingredients sold by retailers at traditional markets. The fungal population was enumerated using a dilution followed by the pour plate in dichloran 18% glycerol agar medium. All isolated A. flavus were identified by culture technique and molecular approach. Aflatoxin production was determined in 10% coconut agar medium with thin layer chromatography. Regulatory (aflR) and structural (nor-1, ver-1, omt-1) genes of A. flavus strains were isolated using four sets of primers (aflR, nor-1, ver-1, omt-1). We found that all feeds were infected by fungi. Aspergillus chevalieri was the most found in all feeds, particularl on chick starter. Of the 200 samples of compound and poultry feed ingredients, 57 isolates of A. flavus were examined and 16 of them (28%) were toxigenic, each strain producing aflatoxin B1 from <3.01 to 35.50 ppb. Among feeds, layer finisher, pellet starter and grain corn were the most infected by toxigenic A. flavus, respectively. The contamination occurred on feeds that contained corn as the main compound. Routine analysis of compound poultry feeds and their ingredients for aflatoxigenic fungi particularly A. flavus is compulsory

Sentilyzer : Lexicon based Sentiment Analysis of Tweets
Authors: Verma Monica
Published: May 2022

Sentiment analysis is a process of deriving emotions from texts. Twitter Sentiment Analysis is used to find market insights and trends or changes in people's perceptions contained in tweets mentioning particular product or service on Twitter which is a popular social media platform. As the world is slowly shifting towards digital currency, we have seen that social media is critical in establishing public perception about cryptocurrency and crypto market trends. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any correlation between positive or negative perceptions of cryptocurrencies and their value, and whether its popularity has changed over time. We have used lexicon-based approach for analyzing the sentiments of tweets referring to either of the two most popular cryptocurrency namely Bitcoin and Dogecoin. We extracted tweets from Twitter from different geographical locations and different time periods in order to make our sample size as diverse as possible so that we could get precise results. For visualization of these results, we have created dashboard in tableau. These visualisations show popularity of BTC and Doge through total count of tweets, their polarity i.e. negative, positive or neutral, sentiment scores, etc. Our study has shown that though there are times when Dogecoin’s value has significantly shot up due to positive tweets especially by most influential figures like Elon Musk but the effect isn’t permanent and popularity of Bitcoin and Dogecoin remains volatile. Keywords— lexicon, tweets, opinion, analysis, map, time, location, emotion, sentiment, score, polarity, visualisation, tableau, etc.

Effects of Long-Term Use of Zinc and Vitamin C on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Complications
Authors: Aruoah Maryam K.
Published: May 2022

The present study aims to use zinc and vitamin C supplements to treat diabetes mellitus disease and its complications, including diabetic foot ulcer, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is recognized as the most common endocrine disease worldwide. A progressive and aggressive disease, it is characterized by both hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Diabetic foot ulcer is a well-known complication of the disease, and it is the most common reason for lower limb amputation. Retinopathy is another diabetic complication, which leads to blindness. Moreover, diabetic nephropathy is the main cause of chronic kidney disease. Zinc is an antioxidant element and a cofactor for more than 300 important enzymes. It is also involved in many important physiological metabolic functions. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and a powerful dietary antioxidant. It is also essential for the physiological functioning of the body. Zinc and vitamin C are closely related to DM and its complications. Fifty diabetic patients were selected to receive 100 mg zinc oxide tablets and 1000 mg vitamin C tablets every day for six months. The doses were separated and given at specified times during the day. Thirty healthy individuals comprised the control group. Wound swab cultures and antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed for the diabetic foot ulcer patients prior to the supplements being taken. A significant decrease was observed in the patients’ fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin hormone, urea, creatinine levels, blood pressure, and urination, while an improvement was seen in their lipid profile. Complete healing of the foot ulcers was achieved with blood flow signs and sensation and without the use of antibiotics in most cases. Clear improvements in visual acuity were also achieved. Indeed, type 2 DM is a metabolic disease that results from zinc deficiency, impairing insulin hormone production, secretion, and function. This causes an increase in fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure, urination, and dyslipidemia. It also leads to the inability of vitamin C to enter the cells, followed by endothelial dysfunction, impaired blood flow, and ischemia, thereby leading to diabetic complications.

Published: May 2022

Ultrasonic welding is a rapid process for thin sheet joining. The authors wanted to show the aluminum-copper dissimilar joining by the ultrasonic welding process in this work. Ultrasonic welding is a suitable and straightforward process to establish dissimilar joints between different metals. The goal was to investigate the ultrasonic welding complex effect on the material properties. Ultrasonic welding is solid-state welding, which uses pressure, friction, ultrasound effect to establish a metallic joint. The complex effects are the friction heat, the pressure caused plastic deformation, and the ultrasound caused softening and hardening. The welding process used three kinds of geometry were, with 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm wide, and 80 mm length test samples. The welding is made by an ultrasonic welder machine (Branson Ultraweld L20 Spot Welder). The used parameters were the same, and the ultrasound frequency was 20 kHz. The welded spot area depended on the test sample size and the anvil sizes (12 mm x 14 mm). A microhardness tester tested the joint and the hardness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ). The hardness after the welding process showed a difference from the original hardness value of the metals. The measured results tendency is according to the literature. The ultrasound effect can cause crack propagation in the welded sheet. It was detected based on the tests that the hardness in the joint and the heat-affected zone shows differences as a function of the test sample sizes. Also detected that the crack inclination is stronger in the case of the wider sheets whiles having a bigger welded spot area. Based on the research result, it can conclude that the ultrasonically welded aluminum sheet's mechanical properties depend on the welding parameters and the welded material geometry. The results are in harmony with ultrasound softening and hardening effects theories.
Contributions of Urban Political Ecology to sustainable drainage transitions
Authors: Nóblega-Carriquiry Andrea
Published: May 2022

This article aims to demonstrate how critical urban geography and Urban Political Ecology (UPE) can provide analytical tools to fully incorporate the social dimension in Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS), overcoming ageographical and depoliticized understandings of sustainable stormwater transitions. Through its socio-technical framework, Sustainability Transitions Theory (STT) has contributed significantly to the discourses around governance, infrastructure and management of the new stormwater paradigm from hazard to resource. However, the theory fails to recognise the complexities that geographical, historical and political dynamics introduce into this process, as questions arise regarding why, how and for whom stormwater becomes a resource. The article argues that UPE can offer insights into why and how drainage transitions may take place in specific contexts, considering aspects of sustainability, social equity, justice and democracy.

Se observa que si bien existe un importante crecimiento del sector turístico en la provincia de Misiones y Argentina, no necesariamente genera desarrollo para el sector estudiado, porque los salarios del sector son insuficientes y los profesionales deben tener más de un empleo o por inestabilidad laboral y dificultades de ascenso. Finalmente, se pueden destacar las posturas diferentes acerca del que es “ser profesional en turismo”, y en qué estadio se encuentra la profesionalización en Misiones. Entre los aspectos a mejorar para lograr una mayor profesionalización en el turismo en Misiones se destacan por un lado la necesidad de ordenar más la actividad turística (que al ser reciente está desordenada y en parte des regulada, siendo una propuesta que supera el ámbito laboral y educativo), profundizar en la calidad y en la competitividad de empresas, destinos y trabajadores, especializar al recurso humano y formarlo más en cuestiones financieras y contables, trabajar más en la actitud y los valores de responsabilidad, ética y de formación integral. Palabras Clave: formación universitaria, inserción laboral y de laprofesionalización.

Este trabajo aborda un análisis de los aspectos: social, económico y ambiental de la ciudad de Encarnación antes, durante y después de la elevación de la cota del embalse y su influencia sobre los recursos hídricos. Se presenta parte de los resultados preliminares de la investigación “Propuesta de Gestión Integral de Recursos Hídricos para la ciudad de Encarnación”.  Tal abordaje se impone ya que la ciudad de Encarnación se encontró enmarcada en un proceso de grandes cambios a nivel estructural pues las obras del embalse de la represa hidroeléctrica Yacyretá provocaron importantes cambios en el Municipio. En estas circunstancias es significativo este análisis, ya que el recurso hídrico adquiere superlativa importancia, de tal manera que permita una mirada cierta de frente a la realidad actual. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la situación actual de los recursos hídricos  de la ciudad de Encarnación, a través de la  revisión bibliográfica de artículos científico informes instituciones y notas de investigación. El análisis evidenció la vulnerabilidad del recurso, la necesidad del trabajo  multisectorial, de ordenanzas que regulen el nuevo escenario luego de la elevación de la cota y una educación ambiental sostenida. Considerando que estamos frente a una nueva Encarnación con importantes obras de infraestructura, siendo polo de desarrollo comercial y turístico, el agua se convierte en principal protagonista de este nuevo escenario. Esta investigación aport una visión integradora con respecto a la Gestión integral de los recursos hídricos que permite tomar decisiones a los sectores involucrados con criterio de equidad generacional.Palabras claves: Recurso hídrico, Embalse, Gestión integral de recursoshídricos.

Este trabajo estudia el perfil emprendedor de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Contables, Administrativas y Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Pilar. El objetivo fue determinar la evolución del comportamiento emprendedor en estudiantes de dos cursos de la facultad durante el año 2014 y 2016. Este estudio fue concebido a partir de un instrumento validado internacionalmente en investigación del perfil emprendedor conocido como CCE o Características del Comportamiento Emprendedor diseñado por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas a través de Empretec, programa para la investigación y fomento del emprendimiento y sustentada en base a las teorías de McClelland, acerca de los factores motivacionales asociados al comportamiento emprendedor. La metodología permite caracterizar el comportamiento emprendedor mediante un test de autoevaluación de 10 factores asociados a las necesidades de logro, afiliación y poder. El estudio se realizó en la sede central de la facultad inicialmente en cursos de primer año, de licenciatura en Administración de Empresas y de Contaduría Pública Nacional, el primer test se aplicó en el 2014 y el segundo en el 2016, al mismo grupo de estudiantes. El estudio reveló mediante la comparación de los resultados obtenidos que el promedio de las puntuaciones de las CCE decreció en ambos cursos, exceptuando el comportamiento de correr riesgos calculados que se elevó a niveles considerados de desarrollo intermedio.  Palabras-claves: Perfil Emprendedor, Comportamiento Emprendedor, Emprendimiento.

O crescimento do segmento metalúrgico na região noroeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul tem potencializado a economia local e a geração de empregos.
No entanto, concomitante ao enfoque produtivo tem-se a geração constante de resíduos. Neste contexto, emerge a preocupação com a sustentabilidade organizacional, destacando-se a carência por uma metodologia de Sistemas de Gestão Ambiental (SGA) que possa estar integrada a perspectiva ambiental. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo propor um plano de ações voltados ao SGA, especificamente buscando atender aos requisitos da Norma ABNT NBR ISO Nº 14.001/2015. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, visitas in loco, questionamentos junto a colaboradores da indústria que acompanhava as visitas, realizou-se um diagnóstico inicial e posteriormente a sugestão de implementação de um plano de ações. Como resultados foram propostas onze ações: identificar e quantificar todos os resíduos gerados; reduzir a geração de resíduos sólidos; implantar barreiras de contenção em maquinários para possíveis vazamentos de óleo; diminuir consumo de água; diminuir consumo de energia elétrica; treinar os colaboradores; manter atualizadas as condicionantes ambientais na licença de operação; adequar a indústria à legislação aplicável e ao descarte de resíduos contaminados e; elaboração de plano de emergência e contingência para vazamentos. .
Abstracts
The growth of the metallurgical segment in the northwest region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul has boosted the local economy and the generation of jobs. However, concurrent with the productive focus, there is the constant generation of waste. In this context, the concern with organizational sustainability emerges, highlighting the lack of an Environmental Management Systems (SGA) methodology that can be integrated into the environmental perspective. This research aimed to propose an action plan aimed at the EMS, specifically seeking to meet the requirements of the ABNT NBR ISO Standard No. 14,001 / 2015. Through a qualitative approach, on-site visits, inquiries from industry employees who accompanied the visits, an initial diagnosis was made and then the suggestion to implement an action plan. As a result, eleven actions were proposed: to identify and quantify all the waste generated; reduce the generation of solid waste; implement containment barriers on machinery for possible oil spills; decrease water consumption; decrease electricity consumption; train employees; keep the environmental conditions in the operating license up to date; adapt the industry to the applicable legislation and the disposal of contaminated waste and; preparation of emergency and contingency plan for leaks.
