Authors: Saputra Evan
Published: September 2023

Logistic issues are still become a serious matter for Indonesian society. This problem should be seriously considered by Indonesia. Many sectors that support logistic growth should be arranged properly in order to increase the value of performance of logistic in Indonesia. Agriculture sector is one of the sectors that has important role in national development integration. Unfortunately, production growth for this sector is still relatively low compared to some other sectors with value 1.85%. One of the agricultural sectors in Indonesia was palm oil plantations that produces cooking oil. Currently, Indonesia was suspected by having problems on the cooking oil distribution. Cooking oil distribution margins are tending to increase, while margin is one of the efficiency indicators in distribution system. The increasing of distribution margin indicates that the distribution of the commodity is inefficient. Thus, we need to improve efficiency and effectiveness in all logistics activities. The issue is, what are the relevant indicators to manage the logistics of cooking oil in an effort to improve the efficiency and effectiveness. Determination of performance indicators can be done by getting the opinion and consensus of the experts who understand the logistics of cooking oil. The method used is the Delphi method that will integrated with fussy method. The method is called Fuzzy-Delphi method.

Authors: Haitao Niu
Published: September 2023

Determining the needs of retailers in implementing halal logistics can be identified using the Fuzzy QFD (Quality Function Deployment) method. Assessment of retailer needs was carried out by 3 sources. Then the results of the assessment are translated into Fuzzy numbers and then the HOQ matrix is designed. Based on the research conducted, obtained 7 retailer needs and 13 technical characteristics that influence the implementation of halal logistics. Then from 4 kinds of levels of relationship between each technical characteristic, 2 kinds of assessments were obtained, namely the level of strong positive and weak positive relationships. Assessment of the strength of the relationship between each retailer's needs and logistics activities in the context of implementing the halal logistics system for the value of the "Very Strong" relationship can be seen in the relationship between special packaging and ordering costs and special packaging with guaranteed goods condition. As for the value of the strength of the "Medium" relationship, it can be seen in the relationship between the concoction according to the wishes of consumers with the ordering fee and the halal guarantee fee with the ordering fee.
Massage Therapy May be Safe and Reduce Pain in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Neurological Injury: a Case Control Study
Authors: Kazer Max , Chang Victoria , Pietrykowski John , Raskin Erin , Karanjia Navaz , LaBuzetta Jamie
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Massage therapy is an important adjunctive treatment for physiologic and psychologic symptoms and has been shown to benefit patients among a wide variety of patient populations.
Setting: Few studies have investigated the utility of massage therapy in the general ICU setting, and even fewer have done so in the neurological ICU (NeuroICU).
Research Design: If massage therapy was determined to improve objective outcomes—or even subjective outcomes in the absence of harm—massage may be more readily employed as a complementary therapy, particularly in the ICU setting or in patients with acute neuro-logical injury.
Intervention: This pilot study aimed to assess the safety of massage in the neurocritical care unit and its impact on patient vital signs, subjective pain assessment, and other clinical outcomes.
Participants: Twenty-one patients who received massage therapy during admission to the neurocritical care service were compared to matched controls in a retrospective case control study design.
Results: We found a statistically significant reduction in pain scores among patients with acute neurological injury who received massage therapy. There was no statistical difference in hospital length of stay, discharge destination, in-hospital mortality, adverse events, or incidence/duration of delirium between patients who received massage therapy and those who did not. No adverse events were ascribed to the massage therapy when evaluated by blinded neurocritical care specialists.
Conclusion: This study found that massage therapy may be safe for many patients in the NeuroICU and may offer additional subjective benefits.
Comparison of Neuromuscular Joint Facilitation and Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise in Knee Osteoarthritis: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Lall Shikha , Venkatesan Prem
Published: September 2023

Objectives: To compare the effect of neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) and quadriceps strengthening exercises on pain, physical function, static posture, and balance control in subjects with knee osteoarthritis.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Department of Physiotherapy, Manipal Hospitals, Bangalore.
Participants: Subjects diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis according to the American College of Sports Medicine criteria. The mean age of subjects in the control group was 63.12 ± 8.08 years; in the experimental group was 61.77 ± 8.46 years.
Interventions: The intervention group received NJF treatment twice a week for six weeks, and the control group received quadriceps strengthening exercises. Standard knee exercises were given as a home program to both groups.
Outcome Measures: Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), 30-second chair stand (30s-CST), and single leg stance (SLS) were used to assess physical function, static posture, and balance control, respectively, at the end of the sixth week.
Results: Sixty subjects were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. The experimental and control group showed a mean difference of 3.89 and 4.17 in NPRS, 4.19 and 4.17 in 30s-CST, 6.81 and 5.71 in SLS at the end of six weeks. This change was significant within both groups (p value .000) and not significant between groups (NPRS p value .303; 30s-CST p value .09; SLS p value .525) at the end of six weeks.
Conclusions: NJF and quadriceps strengthening exercises effectively reduced pain and improved physical function, static posture, and balance control in subjects with knee osteoarthritis. Both groups had the same effect on all clinical variables at six weeks of follow-up. Hence, further studies with long term follow-up are warranted.
The Development, Validity, and Responsiveness of a Patient-Centred Outcome Measurement Tool for Evaluating Integrative Medicine Interventions
Authors: Cabo Fernando , Neil Browne
Published: September 2023

Background: The paper sets out the development, validity, and responsiveness of the Integrative Medicine Treatment Evaluation Form (IMTEF), which has been designed to measure the effects of complementary and integrative therapy (CIT) interventions in cancer and palliative care (PC) patients in a National Health Service (NHS) hospital setting. Treatment evaluation is essential for ensuring safety and quality of services, for meeting NHS governance requirements. It also helps to add to the evidence base for complementary and integrative therapies through collecting data about treatments.
Methods: A number of different Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) tools were reviewed in order to design the IMTEF, which details questions that captures both quantitative and qualitative data. The IMTEF was reviewed by patients and a range of health care practitioners.
Results: IMTEF’s validity is supported by feedback from health care practitioners and patients, by its ability to detect different degrees of change in relation to change scores, and by its correlations with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores.
Conclusion: The IMTEF can be used to assess the effects of therapeutic bodywork and CITs when many of the patients do not have the capacity or the time to answer many questions, and when therapists do not know in advance the number of treatments that patients will be able to receive. Because of the way it is structured, it can also assess the effects after a number of sessions.
Protéger l’enfant de l’alcoolisme ?
Authors: Afanasyeva Victoria , Bonvin Audrey
Published: September 2023

À travers deux portraits de militantes « antialcoolistes » – la Française Victoire Lecoy et la Suissesse Adèle Huguenin alias T. Combe – la présente contribution cherche à sortir de l’ombre l’action des femmes dans les mouvements français et suisse. Après une étude des imaginaires du tournant du xix e et du xx e siècles liant l’alcoolisme à « l’enfance difficile » et des rôles qui incombent aux femmes dans la protection de jeunes générations, nous proposons une analyse comparative des parcours, des engagements et des discours de deux femmes dans le champ de la propagande infantile. Une réflexion sur les traces écrites laissées par les militantes occupe une place centrale dans cet article, autant qu’un questionnement sur l’action féminine dans l’histoire et dans l’historiographie du mouvement antialcoolique.
Laïla Doss, une pionnière de la lutte contre la tuberculose en Égypte (1916-2015)
Authors: Pesquet Laure
Published: September 2023

Dans son livre autobiographique publié en 2015, soit l’année de sa disparition, Laïla Doss raconte son travail social auprès des enfants de tuberculeux·ses en Égypte. Née dans une famille de riches propriétaires terriens coptes-orthodoxes à Assiout en 1916, la jeune fille fonda en 1936 l’Association féminine pour l’amélioration de la santé, dans le contexte réformiste de l’entre-deux-guerres. En confrontant le récit de Laïla Doss avec la littérature secondaire et le dépouillement des rapports de santé publique, l’article retrace certaines étapes de la vie de cette pionnière, en lien avec la lutte contre la tuberculose et la protection infantile, en insistant sur ses années de formation au temps de l’indépendance (1916-1936), puis sur la professionnalisation de son association à l’ère de la réforme sociale et du développement (1936-1954), avant de retracer l’évolution de son travail face au nassérisme et au libéralisme (1954-2015).
Les valeurs socioéconomiques de la bibliothèque municipale de Sotteville-lès-Rouen

Published: September 2023

Dans le cadre d’une recherche sur les valeurs socioéconomiques des bibliothèques publiques pilotée par la Bibliothèque publique d’information (Bpi) et commanditée par le ministère de la Culture, la ville de Sotteville-lès-Rouen s’est engagée, avec des chercheurs en sciences sociales de l’université de Lille (Clersé) et de l’université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (Larsh), dans un projet expérimental visant à déterminer les valeurs et les impacts de sa bibliothèque municipale.Comment les professionnels s’approprient-ils les pratiques de mesures d’impacts au quotidien ? Peut-on proposer des mesures alternatives qui rendent compte de la valeur sociale et économique des bibliothèques pour les acteurs qui y sont impliqués, professionnels comme usagers ? Ce livret présente une démarche de recherche originale menée dans la bibliothèque de Sotteville-lès-Rouen pour questionner le sens donné aux « valeurs » que l’on peut attribuer aux établissements de lecture publique. Dans un premier temps, il dresse un portrait de la médiathèque : son histoire, la mise en place de pratiques d’évaluation et les rapports qu’entretiennent les professionnels avec ces dernières. A partir d’une approche par l’économie des conventions, il montre que les valeurs sont un construit social traversé par différents points de vue et logiques d’acteurs. Il présente ensuite la consultation qui s’est déroulée à la bibliothèque au cours de l’hiver 2021. Cette démarche consultative a consisté à associer un ensemble de personnes concernées par la bibliothèque de la ville (des membres du personnel de la bibliothèque, des usagers, une élue, le propriétaire d’une librairie rouennaise, des personnes salariées de l’éducation nationale et des centres sociaux, des personnes issues du monde associatif, etc.) dans la co-définition des valeurs et des impacts de la bibliothèque de Sotteville-lès-Rouen.
Pour une perception globale de l’évolution des musées
Authors: Mairesse François
Published: September 2023

Le monde des musées a assisté à la parution, au cours des dernières années, d’un grand nombre de publications traitant du futur de cette institution. Cette démarche prospective, développée de manière plus ou moins objective, peut être associée à un certain nombre d’étapes liées à l’évolution du monde muséal, notamment les crises – économiques ou institutionnelles – qu’il a traversées. Cet article se propose, à partir de l’analyse d’un échantillon de ces rapports publiés au cours des dix dernières années, d’évoquer les traits communs et les différences entre ces publications, à travers les tendances ou les caractéristiques étudiées pour envisager le futur. Il s’agira également de s’interroger sur les raisons ayant conduit, par ailleurs, à ne pas aborder certains aspects de l’évolution, dont les répercussions sur le musée pourraient pourtant s’avérer considérables.
Pratiquer la présence : la fabuleuse vocation du musée-du-monde
Authors: Semedo Alice
Published: September 2023

Comme nous, les musées ont vécu ces trois dernières années dans un monde totalement imprévisible et changeant, avec de nouvelles attentes et des tâches complexes à accomplir. Le monde semi-endormi des musées a été confronté à un débat plutôt vif sur leur raison d’être et il a été contraint d’affronter aussi bien des dilemmes moraux que des difficultés économiques. Malgré l’adversité, les musées semblent promettre de devenir plus ambitieux, porteurs de sens pour eux-mêmes et pour le monde. Cette aspiration semble répondre à un sentiment croissant d’insécurité ontologique, qui se traduit souvent par une perte de sens de ce que nous faisons, et qui s’exprime dans des questions épistémologiques essentielles. En abordant ces différents aspects, je soutiendrai que si nous croyons que le musée participe au monde – l’affectant et s’ouvrant en même temps à la vulnérabilité –, sa capacité d’action est liée à l’action politique et à la pratique éthique. Cela signifie qu’il faut faire face à la simultanéité de deux effets, que nous nommons effet de présence et effet de signification, pour incarner un projet éthico-politique du musée par définition toujours inachevé.
Le musée du futur : imaginaire du musée dans la littérature contemporaine imagée
Authors: Chassagnol Anne , Marie Caroline
Published: September 2023

Cette contribution élabore une poétique du musée de demain à partir d’un état des lieux de la figuration et de la fictionnalisation du musée dans des récits iconotextuels contemporains. Jusqu’à présent, le musée en littérature a été essentiellement traité du point de vue du roman. Les littératures imagées – albums jeunesse, récits illustrés ou accompagnés d’images ou de photos, bandes dessinées – sont les grandes oubliées de ces études ; or, elles constituent un réservoir d’imaginaires à la fois originaux et visionnaires pour mieux saisir la façon dont le musée opère en tant qu’institution, mais également en tant qu’espace, voire en tant que temporalité. Ces images fixes ne sauraient se limiter à de simples transcriptions visuelles du musée. Leur surgissement fait partie d’une collaboration étroite, dont l’axe ne se situe plus uniquement entre l’auteur et l’illustrateur, mais directement entre le musée et l’auteur sollicité par l’institution, qui s’interroge sur sa propre perception – Edward Carey, Manuele Fior, Catherine Meurisse, entre autres –, tandis que, dans le même temps, des maisons d’édition invitent des écrivains et des artistes – Enki Bilal, Christophe Ono-dit-Biot et Adel Abdessemed – à livrer leur vision du musée en y passant une nuit. À partir d’un corpus d’ouvrages francophones et anglophones publiés depuis les années 2000, nous montrerons quelles sont les tendances actuelles que cette littérature imagée propose et comment sa modélisation du musée d’aujourd’hui anticipe le musée à venir. La littérature imagée semble réinventer un musée à la mesure de l’humain, une hétérotopie (selon Michel Foucault) de l’affect, où il s’agit de préserver et d’interroger moins ce qu’est le monde que ce qu’est une vie, un musée de la personne et du relationnel (selon Nicolas Bourriaud), un musée de soi, mobile, intime, humain.

Authors: Gantina Prasad , Kubavat Ajay Kantilal , Ravuri Preetham , Kumari Lalima , Varma Praveen Kumar , Naik Moode Kaladhar
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Aim:

The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the comparison between the Skeletal Maturation phases of Fishman’s hand–wrist skeletal maturation index (SMI) and cervical vertebral maturation angle (CVMA).

Methodology:

Assessment and comparison of Skeletal Maturation utilizing the hand–wrist bone radiograph by Fishman’s system of skeletal maturation indicator (SMI), cervical vertebra maturation stages (CVMS), and lateral cephalogram by cervical vertebral maturation angle (CVMA) conducted on 150 subjects (75 male and 75 female). Chi-square was used to reveal the significance of study parameters on a categorical scale between SMI, CVMS, CVMA, and multiple regression analysis conducted to envisage the connotation of the dependent variable.

Results:

Multiple regression analysis models exhibited 61.9% of the variance for CVMA with autonomous variables. In multiple regression analysis, there is no substantial association (P > 0.05) between age and CVMA. The correlation of SMI and CVMA values utilizing Pearson’s correlation coefficient for males and females presented positive association with R value of 0.801 for males and 0.834 for females and a P value of < 0.001.

Conclusion:

As compared to other maturity indicators like hand and wrist, cervical vertebral angular measurements were reliable enough for assessing the degree of skeletal maturation.

Authors: Yadav Monika , Devi Durgawati
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Effect of Kuti Sweda (Sauna Bath) on cardiometabolic health biomarkers of apparently healthy individuals.
Methods: It was a randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial. 60 healthy individuals were equally divided into 2 groups group A and Group B. In group A, placebo capsules (roasted wheat flour) 1 capsule BD was given for 1 month. In group B, 5-20 mins of sauna bath was given early in the morning with an empty stomach after whole body oil application and having 1-2 glasses of water, 5-6 days a week for 30 days. The parameters used for assessment were resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, BMI, serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum HDL, serum LDL and fasting blood sugar (FBS). For intra-group comparison 'paired t -test' was used and for inter- group comparison 'an unpaired t- test was used. All the statistical tests were con-sidered significant at a 5% p-value (p<0.05). Results: In group A not statistically, significant difference was seen after the completion of 1 month of trial, while in group B statistically significant difference was observed in resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, BMI, serum cholesterol, serum triglycer-ides, serum HDL, serum LDL and fasting blood sugar (FBS) after the completion of 1 month of trial. In a com-parison of the two groups, a statistically significant difference was seen in outcomes. Conclusion: Swedana mo-dality in the form of Kuti sweda or Sauna bath is very effective in improving the cardio-metabolic health of in-dividuals living a sedentary lifestyle.

Published: September 2023

According to the World Health Organisation, "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" is what is meant by "health." In reality, Ashtanga means "eight limbs." There is an overarching concept behind Ashtanga Yoga that has been simplified down into eight com-ponents and is intended to be a way of maintaining both physical and spiritual wellness. Both Raja yoga and Hathyoga include them. These two-go hand in hand with one another. In the present day, Ashtanga yoga is particularly beneficial for all-around personality development. As a trait of behaviour, cognition, and emotional pattern, personality must be created on a multidimensional basis. According to Bhagvadgeeta, it is mentioned that Yoga is a condition of harmony between mind and body i.e., Yoga Samatwamuchyate. It is described as Yoga Chitavrittinirodha, or the cessation of mental changes, in the Patanjali Yoga Sutra. It includes several elements that are important for enhancing social health as well. We shall attempt to analyse Ashtanga Yoga's involvement in the three dimensions of health in the following article. It is also important for women's health.

Published: September 2023

The incidence of lifestyle diseases associated with CVD is high on the rise. CVD continues to be the major cause of mortality representing about 30% of all deaths worldwide. With rapid economic development and the westernization of lifestyle in the past few decades, the prevalance of these diseases has reached an alarming proportion among Indians in recent years. Covid 19 and its impact on today's world is a challenge ahead. Cer-tain conduct such as wearing masks, sanitizing hands and surfaces, and social distancing is taken as major guidelines for the prevention of the spread of Covid 19. Acharya Charak has given a comprehensive account of the mode of a healthy and happy life. Acharya Sushruta considers a man healthy only when he is in a state of biological balance and enjoys sensorial, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Such a state of health can be achieved only by observing the rules of good conduct i.e., The mind and the body continuously interact and influence each other under the influence of environmental factors. If this is not controlled and moderated appropriately, it gives rise to pathological problems. Sadvritta is similar to the idea of Yama and Niyama described in the context of Yoga. Different kinds of emotions such as Kama, Krodh, etc. arise as a consequence of Manasadosavaisamya. Through the practice of Sadvritta, the sattva Guna prevails over Rajas and Tamas and thus preserves good phys-ical and mental health.

Incidence of Vte is comparable to western population in India, studies conducted by Ayyapan et all say it around 20/10,000 admission. Studies showed higher mortality of around 50% in high risk (massive) and mortality of around 14% in intermediate risk (sub-massive) PE which necessitating more aggressive approach in high-risk groups. Rapid administration of systemic thrombolytic agents is indicated in massive pulmonary embolism patients who presents with hemodynamic instability but systemic thrombolytic therapy is associated with risk of major bleeding around 20% and haemorrhagic stroke of 2% to 5% . During systemic thrombolysis shunting of thrombolytic agents away from clot into the systemic circulation which makes it failed lysis sometimes along with major bleeding.

OBJECTIVE Electrotherapy is the electrical stimulation of tissues for therapeutic purposes which uses a specific wavelength and frequency from the electromagnetic spectrum to produce the desired physiological and chemical changes in the body. Insusceptibility to get malaria infection among patients treated with electrotherapy was locally observed, therefore the study was aimed to detect the potential effect of electrotherapy on acquiring of malaria infection to assess the management of the disease endemic in Khartoum state. METHODS This is descriptive cross-sectional study, all patients (101) attending and submitting to electrotherapy unit in the hospitals were enrolled, and their clinical reports were collected. Among these patients 55 were male and 46 were female and were divided into three categories according to the number of sessions, age and gender. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. RESULTS The study involved both sexes (55 males and 46 females), and the percentage of males not infected with malaria after electrotherapy sessions (84%) was higher than that of females (67%) out of the total number. Interestingly one of the patients undergoing electrotherapy sessions had been diagnosed with severe malaria with mental disturbance, the symptoms of the severe malaria decreased from him, and his condition improved after submitting to electrotherapy sessions. The exposing percentage of patients who did not acquire malaria after electrotherapy sessions was approximately 80% with P-value (<0.001) compared to those infected with malaria after electrotherapy sessions. CONCLUSION The study results suggest the potential hypothesis of existence of effect of electrotherapy on acquiring malaria infection, the study recommended to carry out further experimental in-vitro and in-vivo studies to prove and explain the mechanism of effect in order to assist in treatment and management of the disease.

Published: September 2023

Electromagnetic suspension of vehicles has advantage of improved ride comfort and drivability. Electromagnetic levitation has been in use in Maglev trains for smoother transportation. However, application of electromagnetic suspension system was limited by its cost and weight. This paper focuses study on use of an electromagnet and permanent magnet hybrid magnet setup and compares the control method to stabilize the suspension system by genetic algorithm optimization, auto tuning technique and fuzzy logic controller for tuning the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for making the system stable. MATLAB-Simulinkanalysis of hybrid magnetic suspension system show stabilization by reduction of the errors in the closed loop control system. Realization in a real time setup may be possible by varying the magnetic field developed in the electromagnet to control the force of repulsion between the electromagnet and permanent magnet.

Bottom ash is formed in coal furnaces. It is made from agglomerated ash particles that too large to be carried in the flue gases and fall through open grates to an ash hopper at the bottom of the furnace. Bottom ash is mainly comprised of fused coarser particles. These particles are quite porous and look like volcanic lava. Bottom ash forms up to 25% of the total ash while the fly ash is remaining 75%. The present work deals with flexural behavior of bottom ash geopolymer reinforced concrete beam. A total of six beams were cast, in which three beams were control reinforced concrete beams and thee beams were bottom ash geopolymer reinforced concrete beam. bottom ash geopolymer reinforced concrete beamwas cured at ambient temperature. The load carrying capacity, load deflection behavior and initial stiffness capacity of beams were arrived and compared with control reinforced cement concrete (RCC) specimens

In this paper, we present a relative assessment of profound learning ways to deal with network interruption recognition. An Organization Interruption Recognition Framework (NIDS) is a basic part of each and every Web associated framework due to likely goes after from both outer and inside sources. A NIDS is utilized to distinguish network conceived goes after like Forswearing of Administration (DoS) assaults, malware replication, and interlopers that are working inside the framework. Various profound learning approaches have been proposed for interruption identification frameworks. We assess three models, a vanilla profound brain net (DNN), self-trained learning (STL) approach, and Repetitive Brain Organization (RNN) based Long Present moment Memory (LSTM) on their exactness and accuracy. Their exhibition is assessed utilizing the organization interruption dataset given by Information Disclosure in Data sets (KDD). This dataset was utilized for the third global Information Revelation and Information Mining Devices contest held related with KDD Cup 1999. The outcomes were then contrasted with a standard shallow calculation that utilizes multinomial strategic relapse to assess if profound learning models perform better on this dataset.
