Refraction of Light on Prisma Applications
Authors: Arygunartha Gede Yohanes , Ni Luh Putri Setyaningsih
Published: April 2023

A prism is a clear object made of glass. Its uses include directing light beams, changing and invertingshadows, and breaking white light into the colors of the spectrum (rainbow colors). The difference in thecolor of the spectrum is caused by the difference in the wavelength and frequency of the constituent rays,so that in the medium these rays have different refractive indices. Assume that the medium around the prismis air. This is called the angle of deviation. The angle of deviation is the angle formed by the intersectionof the extended incident light and the extended refracted light leaving the prism. The light beam that comesto the prism in the direction of ED will be refracted along the line DF and so on out of the prism in thedirection of FG. It is difficult for us to see or mark the red spectrum and the purple spectrum due to theinfluence of light from outside the laboratory, so we need a dark enough room to see the spectrum. Difficultyin determining the direction of the light source so that it coincides with a predetermined normal line, thelight is out of focus (a bit wide).

Published: April 2023

El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar las principales dificultades de accesibilidad por las cuales un grupo de mujeres embarazadas no realizó el control precoz del mismo. Es un diseño explicativo, de corte transversal y de enfoque cuantitativo. Se entrevistó a 80 mujeres embarazadas que aguardaban en sala de espera de la consulta gineco obstétrica en el período transcurrido entre Diciembre de 2010 a Marzo de 2011. Se les aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas referidas al primer control de embarazo, tales como: fecha en que pidió cita y en la que asistió; la edad gestacional al primer control prenatal; las dificultades propias de las usuarias y las presentadas desde el Centro de Salud. Para el análisis de los datos se tomaron dos grupos: las que realizaron el primer control hasta las 12 semanas y las que lo hicieron posterior a las 12 semanas. Este estudio mostró que existen problemas por los que algunas embarazadas consultan en forma tardía al primer control. En algunos casos estos inconvenientes obedecían a factores propios de la embarazada y en otros al Centro donde se controlaban. La demora en conseguir hora para atenderse fue la causa que predominó.

Authors: Lopes Lavínia Mabel Viana , Arce Vladimir Andrei Rodrigues , Amorim Karla Patrícia Cardoso
Published: April 2023

O apoio matricial pretende deslocar o poder das corporações de especialistas, chamando à atenção para a força da gestão da equipe interdisciplinar. Desse modo, a forma como o trabalho compartilhado se estabelece é parte fundamental da prática matricial. Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar a percepção do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica (Nasf-AB) sobre as relações estabelecidas entre apoiadores, equipes de referência, gestores, e de que maneira elas implicam o processo de trabalho. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado com 11 profissionais do Nasf-AB por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e observação de campo. Para o tratamento dos dados, foi realizada a análise de conteúdo, em que emergiram duas categorias temáticas: (1) trabalho compartilhado entre Nasf-AB e equipes de referência, expondo uma resistência das equipes em conceber o Nasf-AB como integrante da atenção primária, bem como dificuldades no planejamento e desenvolvimento de ações conjuntas e um desconhecimento das contribuições da prática matricial para o processo de trabalho; (2) trabalho compartilhado entre Nasf-AB e gestão, apontando para a falta de apoio ao núcleo, impasses na comunicação, ausência de espaços de trabalho colaborativo e pressões por produtividade. Portanto, percebe-se que o Nasf-AB enfrenta questões conflituosas decorrentes do trabalho compartilhado, que influenciam na operacionalização da prática matricial.

La vida entera ya se encuentra mediatizada, nos adentramos a la era de la hipermediatización, la bioinformación y el posthumanismo. Hemos construido una mediósfera, una tecnópolis, una galaxia de conexiones físicas, digitales y simbólicas. Es desde esa mediósfera donde este texto quiere dar cuenta de las múltiples transformaciones que se están viviendo: narrativas, identitarias, performativas, tecnológicas, de apropiación, agencia, praxis. La vida se ha reconfigurado en torno a este complejo sistema de mediaciones, codificaciones y búsquedas de sentido. La condición humana se ha tenido que adaptar a todas estas transformaciones. Los autores de este volumen, tratando de identificar algunos de estos cambios ofrecen un análisis en tres ejes: el narrativo, el de los usos y las prácticas sociales, y el de la formación en comunicación para hacer frente a estas transiciones.

Authors: He Jiali , Shi Shanshan , Zhang Yumeng , Zhang Yang , Xu Pengxiang , Tang Guo , Zhao Yufen
Published: April 2023

A transition-metal-free one-pot direct synthesis of tetrathiophosphates
(R1S)2P(S)SR2 from white phosphorus (P4), through inter-mediate S-sodium
S,S-dialkylphosphorotetrathioates (R1S)2P(S)SNa, is presented. In the
presence of NaSH, various disulfides such as diaryl disulfides and
dialkyl disulfides are easily coupled with P4 to give S-sodium
S,S-dialkylphosphorotetrathioates (R1S)2P(S)SNa in almost quantitative
yield, which react with alkyl halides in one pot to generate
(R1S)2P(S)SR2. Furthermore, S-(2-cyanoethyl)-substituted
tetrathiophosphates (R1S)2P(S)SCH2CH2CN are successfully designed as a
kind of tetrathiophosphorylation reagents to react with diaryl iodonium
salts involving deprotection-dealkylation process.

Published: April 2023

This study the life cycle and quantify the secondary production of the cladoceran Oxyurella ciliata under controlled conditions in a laboratory and use molecular biology as a tool to investigate its genetic characteristics. The organisms were collected from Baia do Gerente, a pond from the Pantanal region, MS state, Brazil. They were acclimatized, maintained at a controlled temperature (25 ± 1 °C) and photoperiod (12/12h light-dark), fed with the microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata and observed daily to obtain the data. O. ciliata had a high total egg production of 34.18 ± 9.68 eggs/female and an average longevity of 58.50 ± 16.30 days. These values differed from those previously reported for O. longicaudis, another congeneric species. There was an exponential growth of biomass until instar 6 and the largest secondary production was from the young to the adult phase, which corresponds to the beginning of the reproductive phase. The molecular data revealed that the genetic divergence between the sequence of O. ciliata and that of O. longicaudis is approximately 18 %, which seems high considering that both belong to the same genus. Comparing life cycle data and DNA Barcode, Oxyurella ciliata and O. longicaudis are very distant and have distinct morphological and biological characteristics, such as: body size, egg size, growth, fertility, longevity and development times. This study highlights the importance of molecular studies and information on the life cycle of neotropical cladocerans, in an integrated way, to have a better taxonomic and ecological interpretation of the species.
Alien Trace Metal Elements in the Body: Changes May Explain Recent Epidemics and Diseases
Authors: Schofield Keith
Published: April 2023

It is now well-known that many elements of the periodic table find a way into our bodies and have the potential for disturbing the delicate homeostasis (balance) of body chemistry. Nevertheless, in spite of the volume of research published in this area, only vague suppositions result concerning any involvements and little progress has been made concerning human health or addressing the preponderance of the innumerable epidemics that now are evident. This results from the inability for statistical analyses to be sufficiently precise to pinpoint specific causes. As a result, a simpler analysis is presented herein based on the premise that environmental chemical epidemics can only arise from an increased change. As a result, global diets and lifestyles have been examined in detail to establish items of change. Such a needed criteria in the recent decades poses strict requirements eliminating most candidates. Two areas of rapid growth in life-style changes clearly are evident and involve the diet of fish (sushi) (high methyl mercury) and the increase in medical vaccines (aluminum hydroxide). It is apparent that people now live never knowing whether they are at risk from these due to genetic susceptibilities. This is especially important for women of child-bearing years, where a fetus is always at high toxic risk levels. As a result, the availability of general population testing now is desperately needed especially for the neurotoxins, Hg, Al, As, and Pb, all alien species to the body together with Se that appears to be the body’s natural healthy chelator.
The Finding and Description of A Diverse Population of the Southern Cestode Isoglaridacris agminis Williams and Rogers, 1972 (Caryophyllaidae) from Lake Chub Sucker Erimyzon sucetta (Lacépède, 1802) in a Northern Land-Locked Lake in Wisconsin, with a Special Reference to its Disjunct Post-Glacial Distribution in North America
Authors: Amin Omar M
Published: April 2023

Specimens of Isoglaridacris agminis Williams and Rogers, 1972 (Caryophyllidae) were first described from the lake chubsucker Erimyzon sucetta (Lacépède, 1802) in a small tributary of the Tallapoosa River at NE central Alabama. We have collected and examined I. agminis from the same host species in the land-locked Silver Lake, SE Wisconsin. We update our first and only 1986 account of this Wisconsin population, with new observations and measurements, and compare with those in the original and other descriptions. The morphology of I. agminis is revisited using light microscopy revealing new features. Emphasis is placed on the morphological variability of its unusual scolex and reproductive structures with variable ovarian shapes throughout development using many microscopic images. Measurements of 17 specimens and the re-examination of 15 more specimens from Silver Lake provided an opportunity to review the taxonomy and description of the species, distinguish locality differences, and correct and update other statements and concepts by other observers. The disconnected distribution of worms from the same host species in separate waters of various states is attributed to the disjunct post-glacial distribution of their primary hosts.
Effectiveness of Cimetrol SE 11.16 (Alfacypermethrin 4.65% + Pyriproxyfen 1.86% + Tetramethrin 4.65%) in Aedes aegypti and Blatella germanica control in Cuba
Authors: Fimia-Duarte Rigoberto
Published: April 2023

In Cuba, insecticides to control Aedes aegypti mosquito and Blatella germanica cockroach has been frequently used with different formulations, such as emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, gels, microencapsulates and suspo-emulsions (SE): the latter is a type of formulation that combines the residuality of a suspension concentrate with the speed of effect of "oil in water" (EW) emulsions. The Cimetrol SE 11.16 formulation is composed of a mixture of two pyrethroid molecules with an insect growth regulator, providing the formulation with great residual power combined with eviction power, due to the mode of action of each one of them. In the following study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Cimetrol SE 11.16 in the control of Ae. aegypti through surface bioassays, and of B. germanica through residual treatment. The residual effect on tile, concrete and wood surfaces was evaluated for 10 weeks and fluctuated from the first weeks (but remained high > 80%). However, mortality on all surfaces remained above 80% until week 6. The highest mortalities occurred in plastic and metal during the 10 weeks (100%). To monitor the cockroach infestation rate, sticky traps (ERADIROACH) were used, which resulted in 95% reduction by the eighth week.

Screening the Health Status of Postpartum Anoestrus Cows of Biratnagar of Nepal
Authors: Shah Manoj Kumar
Published: April 2023

High yielding dairy cattle are often prone to postpartum anestrus that retards both production and reproductive performances. To investigate the postpartum anestrus, 21 nondescript dairy cows raised in and around Biratnagar have been included in this study. The basic information regarding the breeding history, nutritional status, milk yield, suckling and frequency of milking were obtained on request from the owners. Fecal samples were collected directly from the rectum of all cows to diagnose the parasitic infestations. Rectal palpation was performed to explore the status of the ovary and other reproductive tracts. Blood samples were collected through jugular vein puncture in vials with and without anticoagulant for hematological and serobiochemical analysis. Rectal palpation revealed inactive ovaries in most of the dairy cows. The fecal and blood samples had been forwarded to Regional Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Biratnagar for further analysis. Fecal examination resulted in severe parasitic infestations in 90.47% of dairy cows. The predominantly observed parasites were Paramphistomum (38%) followed by Paramphistomum + Nematodes (19%), Nematodes (9%), Liver fluke + Nematodes (9%), Liver fluke (5%), Liver fluke + Paramphistomum (5%) and Nematodes + Moniezia expansa (5%). Among all, 47.61%, 42.85%, 28.57%, 23.80% and 4.76% of cows revealed lower values for total protein (TP), hemoglobin (Hb), calcium (Ca), packed cell volume (PCV), glucose (Glc) and inorganic phosphorus (P), respectively. However, 23.80% and 9.52% of cows showed higher values of inorganic P and Glc. It was concluded that lower values of TP, Hb, Ca, PCV, Glc and inorganic P rightly held responsible for the condition of postpartum anoestrus in cows. An improved managemental practices and nutritional status of cows is suggested for the management of postpartum anoestrus in cows.

Authors: Errante Paolo Ruggero
Published: April 2023

Canine demodicosis is a parasitic dermatopathy caused by Demodex canis, a mite that is part of cutaneous microbiota of dogs. Its overgrowth inside hair follicles and sebaceous glands causes alopecia and erythema in the localized form, and its generalized form usually goes along with a severe case of folliculitis. Its diagnosis is performed through skin scraping, trichogram by epilation or impression with acetate tape of the affected areas and visualization of material by optical microscopy. The treatment consists by the use of specific parasiticides, and in cases of opportunistic bacterial infection, the use of antibiotics is recommended. This case report describes the generalized form of demodicosis in a 2-month-old male puppy, Dachshund breed, whose diagnosis was initially was not defined by not performing a skin scraping and viewing the material obtained under a microscope.

In this paper, we solve the Moroccan daily diet problem based on 6 optimization programming (P) taking into account dietary guidelines of US department of health, human services, and department of agriculture. The objective function controls the fuzzy glycemic load, the favorable nutrients gap, and unfavorable nutrient excess. To transform the proposed program into a line equation, we use the integral fuzzy ranking function. To solve the obtained model, we use the Hybrid Firefly Genetic Algorithm (HFGA) that combines some advantages of the Firefly Algorithm (FA) and the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The proposed model produces the best and generic diets with reasonable glycemic loads and acceptable core nutrient deficiencies. In addition, the proposed model showed remarkable consistency with the uniform distribution of glycemic load of different foods.
Lukiolaisten näkemyksiä etäopetuksesta ja oppimista edistävästä palautteesta kieltenopetuksessa
Authors: Mäkipää Toni
Published: April 2023

Tässä tutkimuksessa kartoitettiin lukiolaisten näkemyksiä etäopetuksesta ja siinä annettavasta opettajan palautteesta kieltenopetuksessa. Aineistona oli 251 lukiolaisen vastaukset avoimiin ja suljettuihin kysymyksiin, ja ne analysoitiin monimenetelmällisin keinoin. Tulokset osoittavat, että etäopetus on lannistavampaa ja työläämpää kuin lähiopetus ja että tytöt suhtautuvat myönteisemmin etäopetukseen kuin pojat. Lukiolaisten mielestä tärkeintä kieltenopettajien palautteessa on palautteen luonne: palautteen tulisi olla kannustavaa ja yksilöllistä. Kuitenkaan noin joka kahdeksas lukiolainen ei osannut sanoa, mikä on tärkeintä etäopetuksessa annettavassa palautteessa. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että opettajankoulutuksessa tulee ottaa monipuolisemmin huomioon etäopetuksen pedagogiikka, jotta tulevat opettajat saavat työkaluja onnistuneeseen etäopetukseen.

Effective schools are schools that demonstrate high standards on academic and non-academic achievement and have a culture that is oriented towards the goals to be achieved and this is marked by the formulation of a vision that is established and promoted jointly between school residents consisting of principals, teachers, staff, other employees, school committees, students, and other stakeholders. The quality of school leaders is one of the basic factors that influence the quality of the teaching and learning process significantly at every level of the education system. Competencies that must be possessed by effective principals are 1) interpersonal and communication skills, 2) It is important that principals master the transformation of technology-based education; 3) Competency in the field of management manages the development of schools as an institution that manages human resources.Keyword: Principal, Effective Schools

Published: April 2023

El reconocimiento de áreas de actividad intrasitio y la recuperación de restos orgánicos en regiones boscosas suele presentar limitaciones con relación a la visibilidad y conservación. Sin embargo, el abordaje de un conjunto de microrrestos ha permitido sortear algunas de estas limitaciones y poder ampliar el conocimiento de la relación entre grupos humanos y plantas. Se presentan los resultados del estudio de microrrestos de diverso origen a partir de una muestra de cenizas procedentes de un fogón en el sitio Pozo de la Chola, siguiendo la metodología de análisis múltiple de microfósiles. Los hallazgos de silicofitolitos y almidones, en conjunto con otras materialidades, permiten vislumbrar prácticas vinculadas con el procesamiento, cocción y el descarte de alimentos de plantas afines a maíz (Zea mays), poroto (Phaseolus vulgaris) y ají (Capsicum sp.), y la utilización de monocotiledóneas silvestres de la familia Cannaceae, Arecaceae y Bromeliaceae. Además de dicotiledóneas leñosas posiblemente como combustible.

Lightweight Chemical Detector as Possible Effective Device for CBRN Defence Equipment of Troops
Authors: Berek Tamás
Published: April 2023

The CBRN detection indicates, by any means, the presence of a CBRN substance. One of the most important elements of this is the chemical detector. Detection of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial materials is required for a timely warning of units. The equipment of CBRN reconnaissance organizations is a critical factor that fundamentally determines the ability of subunits. Thus, one of the technical pillars of the threat response can be considered the capability of CBRN reconnaissance instruments, including chemical detectors. In addition to the capacity of instruments for the detection and identification of chemical, biological and radioactive materials, their size and mass are also important factors for field application. When designing the equipment of CBRN reconnaissance subunits, it is important to create a detector collection suitable for the organization’s application purposes. The author of the article presents the key elements of CBRN defence and highlights the development of tools that are based on IMS technology.
Histoplasmosis in nasopharynx clinically mistaken for nasopharyngeal malignancy
Authors: Pol Jaydeep , Patil Pradipta , Pol Vaishali , Shinde Rajwardhan
Published: April 2023

Histoplasmosis is a rare type of fungal infection which may manifest as a respiratory disease or as a disseminated infection. It is common in immunocompromised patients and, in recent times, seen in association with COVID-19. On histopathological examination, many intracellular and extracellular yeast forms are seen, which can be confirmed by fungal stains. Histoplasmosis involving the nasopharyngeal region is quite rare. Till date, only less than 100 cases of pharyngo-laryngeal histoplasmosis have been reported. Such cases are clinico-radiologically easily and frequently mistaken for malignancy. Here, we report a case that initially had COVID-19-like symptoms and later presented with a nasopharyngeal mass clinico-radiologically mistaken as a nasopharyngeal malignancy. The diagnosis was established on histopathological examination and the patient recovered completely with anti-fungal treatment. A high grade of suspicion and thorough histopathological examination, especially in immunocompromised patients, complimented by fungal special stains is quite rewarding as even a disseminated disease is curable.
