Strategi Dakwah di Era Kontemporer Dalam Perspektif Hadits
Authors: irawan Agus
Published: April 2023

Dakwah adalah upaya menyebarkan ajaran agama Islam dengan tujuan membawa manusia menuju kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat. Dakwah tidak hanya dilakukan oleh para dai atau ulama, namun setiap muslim juga bisa ikut serta dalam melakukan dakwah. Ada beberapa jenis dakwah yang dapat dilakukan, seperti dakwah bil lisan (dakwah dengan ucapan), dakwah bil hal (dakwah dengan perbuatan), dan dakwah bil kitabah (dakwah dengan tulisan).Dalam melakukan dakwah, seorang dai harus memahami kondisi dan situasi yang ada di masyarakat, serta menyesuaikan cara dan metode dakwah yang digunakan. Beberapa strategi dakwah yang dapat dilakukan antara lain, memberikan pemahaman konseptual tentang Islam, membangun kesadaran spiritual, meningkatkan kecerdasan dan keterampilan, menggunakan bahasa yang mudah dipahami, dan menciptakan suasana yang kondusif. Selain itu, dalam melakukan dakwah, seorang dai juga harus memperhatikan adab-adab yang baik dan benar, seperti berbicara dengan sopan dan santun, menghormati pendapat orang lain, tidak menghina atau menghina, serta selalu berprasangka baik terhadap orang lain. Dengan memperhatikan adab-adab yang baik dan benar, diharapkan dakwah yang dilakukan dapat diterima dan dipahami dengan baik oleh masyarakat, serta memberikan dampak positif bagi kehidupan manusia dalam mencari kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat.
HOW AND WHEN TRYVERTISING WORKS IN PEER-TO-PEER ACCOMMODATIONS
Authors: Wu Jialin , Liu Hongbo , ZHENG Chen
Published: April 2023

This study explores the potential of tryvertising in accommodations using an experimental research design. By building a moderated mediation model, this research offers theoretical underpinnings to comprehend how and when tryvertising works in peer-to-peer accommodations. The results demonstrate that tryvertising is more effective in Airbnb than in a hotel context, and more effective in an entire property than a private room in Airbnb. Different accommodation settings represent different levels of territoriality, with higher territoriality leading to higher psychological ownership, and hence higher purchase intentions towards tryvertised products. Such effects are moderated by impermanence which is a threat to psychological ownership. This research suggests avenues marketers/hosts can optimize tryvertising effectiveness in peer-to-peer accommodations, by increasing guests’ perceived territoriality and psychological ownership.

INTERNET SKILLS AND RANGE OF ACTIVITIES: INFLUENCE OF INTERNET LITERACY ON RESILIENCE TO ONLINE PRIVACY VIOLATION
Authors: Skrinjaric Bruno
Published: April 2023

This research examines the impact of internet skills and a range of internet activities as the antecedent of resilience to online privacy violation. Previous research has found contradictory evidence that the perceived level of development of internet skills both increases and reduces resilience to online privacy violation; however, they do not analyze the factors that affect that relationship. Based on the survey data, an empirical analysis was conducted on a representative sample of internet users in Croatia. Empirical methodology is organized in the two steps. In the first step, the reliability, consistency, and dimensionality of latent constructs is tested. In the second step, the research model was estimated using regression techniques. This research fills the gap in existing literature by analyzing different perceptions of internet literacy development to make individual more resilient to online privacy violation in the context of socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, digital anxiety, as well as the intensity and variety of online activity of respondents. Initial results indicate that the range of internet activities is more important than development of internet skills to make an individual more resilient to online privacy violations. The results of this research could be useful to national policy and business strategy providers, particularly in the context of the new GDPR regulation introduced in 2018.

Hadis Mencintai Karena Allah
Authors: Miftahul Muttaqien Miftahul Muttaqien
Published: April 2023

Mencintai karena Allah merupakan konsep penting dalam Islam yang mengajarkan pentingnya mencintai sesama manusia karena Allah semata. Konsep ini menuntut seorang Muslim untuk mencintai sesama manusia dengan tulus dan ikhlas tanpa mempertimbangkan kepentingan pribadi atau materi. Dalam hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Bukhari, Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan bahwa tiga hal yang dapat membuat seseorang merasakan kelezatan iman adalah mencintai Allah dan Rasul-Nya lebih dari apapun, mencintai seseorang hanya karena Allah, dan benci untuk kembali kepada kekufuran setelah Allah menyelamatkannya seperti ia benci untuk dilemparkan ke dalam api neraka. Oleh karena itu, sebagai umat Muslim, penting untuk menghayati dan mengamalkan konsep mencintai karena Allah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sebagai bentuk pengabdian dan kecintaan kepada Allah SWT.
Results of a cluster-randomised controlled equivalence trial of the Surprise Soap hand washing intervention among older children living in a refugee settlement in Sudan
Authors: Watson Julie
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Increasing handwashing with soap (HWWS) among older children in emergency settings can have a large public health impact. However, evidence on what handwashing promotion approaches work in this population is limited. One approach that has shown promise is the ‘Surprise Soap’ intervention in which a novel glycerine soap with a toy embedded inside is delivered to children in a short, fun, household session. Here, we seek to evaluate the Surprise Soap intervention against a standard intervention in a complex emergency setting. Methods: A cluster-randomised controlled equivalence trial was conducted in Naivasha refugee settlement in Sudan. Blinding was not possible. 203 randomly selected households, with at least one child aged 5-12 years, were randomised to receive either the Surprise Soap intervention (n=101) or a standard intervention comprising a short household session with health-based messaging and plain soap distribution (n=102). The primary outcome was the proportion of pre-specified potential HWWS events observed for children aged 5-12, accompanied by HWWS, measured at baseline, four-, twelve-, and sixteen-weeks post intervention delivery. Results: 200 households were included in the analyses: 101 intervention and 99 control. There was no evidence of a difference between the effectiveness of the two interventions at any follow-up (four-weeks: adjusted RR=1.2, 95% CI 0.8–1.7; twelve-weeks: RR=0.8, 95% CI 0.5–1.1; sixteen-weeks: RR=1.0, 95% CI 0.7–1.4). However, we observed an increase in HWWS in both trial arms at four-weeks (27 and 23 percentage point increase in the intervention arm and active control arm, respectively) that was sustained at sixteen weeks.Conclusions: Our results suggest that HWWS interventions that directly target children at the household level, provide soap, and instruct children how and when to practice HWWS are important public health interventions in emergencies. Applying contextual knowledge to decisions on Surprise Soap implementation is recommended; in emergencies where soap access and exposure to handwashing promotion are low, there appears to be no marginal benefits that justify additional costs compared to the standard intervention.
Encoding conditions shape temporal memory precision by modulating temporal uncertainty and temporal bias
Authors: van de Ven Vincent , Raissle Antonia , van den Hoogen Sophie , Roberts Mark J , Smulders Fren
Published: April 2023

Temporal memory about when in the past something happened is suggested to be reconstructed rather than recalled. Participants usually show a degree of mismatch between remembered and actual temporal position of an event. However, recent studies showed markedly different results, including both relatively low temporal precision, for visual objects presented earlier in a series, and relatively high temporal precision, for movie scenes shown at the start of a movie. One explanation could be the use of different stimulus materials, for which participants would employ different cognitive encoding or mnemonic strategies. However, a more parsimonious explanation would be that temporal judgments arise from a common mechanism, regardless of stimulus material or context. In the current manuscript, we reanalysed the results of two previously published experiments and investigated the effect of boundary segmentation and semantic relatedness during encoding in two new experiments. We found that participants showed more temporal uncertainty when the encoded visual objects and contexts were unrelated. Further, we found that increasing the semantic associations during encoding diminished temporal uncertainty but increased temporal underestimation bias, which we interpret as an indication of temporal compression. A simple computational model in which temporal judgment is based on a Gaussian process defined by temporal uncertainty (dispersion) and temporal bias (location) replicated the empirical data of all four experiments, suggesting that patterns of temporal errors observed in different experiments arise from a common mechanism. The model further underscores that semantic relatedness between items decreases temporal uncertainty but enhances temporal compression. These findings have important ramifications for how we memorize the temporal structure of events.
Introducing the MedPCPy library for behavioral data analysis
Authors: Maldonado Daniel , López-Tolsa Gabriela Eugenia , González-Torres Rodrigo Uriel
Published: April 2023

The development of Behavior Analysis as a science has been interconnected to the development of technology used to study behavior. Open software has become relevant as a tool to overcome the current replication crisis in psychology and can help researchers in every step of their scientific practice. This paper presents the MedPCPy library, which was developed with the intent of easing the data analysis process for scientists who use Med Associates Inc. software and equipment. First, the library is capable of converting plain text files to spreadsheets and separating all Med-PC-generated arrays into more readable and manageable columns. Then, by means of six functions, the library can extract the measures relevant to the experimenter from those arrays and write them on both individual files and on a summary file which contains measures of central tendency. Once a Python script using the library is properly set, a single command is sufficient to analyze an arbitrary number of data files from as many subjects and sessions as needed. Along the article, the use of each function is described and an example for each is provided. As far as the authors know, MedPCPy is the only tool, either paid or free, which permits both the conversion of data files and the collection of their measures. This library is likely to reduce human error and save researchers’ time, while allowing a high level of flexibility.
When does intent matter for memory? Bridging perspectives with Craik
Authors: Dames Hannah , Popov Vencislav
Published: April 2023

In his commentary, Craik argued that while intentional remembering might be effective for some populations and memory tasks, these are the exception, and that intent will not benefit memory if incidental encoding induces optimal processing. While we agree on many points, we maintain that in most situations the processes induced by the intention to remember are more effective than those induced by deep semantic processing alone. We show that effects of intent appear with a variety of tasks such as free recall, cued recall, source memory, item recognition, in both mixed and pure lists, and when studying individual words, word pairs or word-image associations. Thus, the beneficial effects of intent generalize over tasks, list-compositions, and study materials. There are also little individual differences in the effect of intent in healthy young adults – most participants (86% out of 336 participants over 6 experiments) show a beneficial effect. We review evidence that the intent to remember strengthens item-context bindings in episodic memory, but that such effects could be masked and not measurable in subsequent memory tests, unless intrusions are taken into account. We agree that in principle incidental encoding could induce optimal processing, but we do not find the existing evidence convincing. We provide additional novel data that directly addresses Craik's concerns (2023) and we propose ways to further investigate how intention enhances memory. We conclude with a joint statement, co-authored by Craik and ourselves, that synthesizes our converging perspectives and current understanding of the impact of intent on memory.
Computational Modelling: a Language Game of Situated Cultural Practices
Authors: Hipólito Inês
Published: April 2023

This paper defends that from macroscale human computation, it does not follow that microscale processes involve ontological properties of macroscale computation. Section 1 critically assesses and rejects computational realism, i.e. that computational models have an independent reality. Section 2 expounds that even on a deflated computational realism of mind-machine metaphor shaping scientific progress, other metaphors, that preserve the complexity properties of an open system, are preferable. Section 3, drawing from radical enactivism, builds theory characterising computation, including computational modelling, as a sophisticated human activity that requires enculturated full agency and skilled training. Computational modelling depends upon enactive cultural practices allowing for developing and employing diverse kinds of computational language games to understand neurobiological systems. Section 4, then, employs one kind: complex systems theory is a suited modelling formalism for systems neurobiology and its emerging enactive cultural human practices such as computation, and specifically, scientific computational modelling as means of understanding micro-scale neurobiological systems.
A tale of two cities: how a psychological network approach can improve our understanding of local residents’ risk perception of the process industries

Published: April 2023

The current study illustrates how an empirical psychological network approach can be employed to shed light onto the interplay of risk perception and related psychological variables. In doing so, we present a case study on local residents’ perception of risk related to the handling of hazardous substances in their direct living environment, which combines different levels of the integrative risk perception framework in a network estimated with survey data from Dutch residents (N = 1,026). Additionally, we examine the impact of a form of personal relevance by comparing cities (i.e., Zaandam nearby a chemical cluster [n = 457] and Deventer with fewer chemical companies [n = 569]). Results showed how, in the context of handling hazardous substances, 1) the different levels of the integrative risk perception framework are interrelated, 2) this approach can help prioritize levels of the framework and specific elements for future research (i.e., cognitive-affective factors appear to be relatively important), and 3) comparing the risk perception networks of different cities revealed that they are generally comparable, although differences in relations between specific variables can be observed. Future research should obtain insight into directions of relations between variables in the risk perception network related to handling hazardous substances to improve our understanding of the network dynamics. Employing a psychological network approach in other risk contexts could improve the understanding of risk perception in more safety domains.
The impact of task (un)certainty on repeated grip force production
Authors: Emanuel Aviv , Haklay Idan , Har-Nir Itai , Halperin Israel , Liberman Nira
Published: April 2023

It is well-established that reducing certainty regarding task endpoints in physical tasks hinders performance. However, the impact of modifying the certainty regarding other aspects of physical tasks on performance is unknown. Here we manipulated the certainty of the required effort on an unrelated, parallel task (i.e., off-task uncertainty) and examined how it impacts force production in two within-subject experiments (N= 79). In two sessions, subjects completed 20 repetitions composed of maximal forces using a gripper with their dominant hand. Between repetitions, participants applied either submaximal constant or varied grip forces, with their non-dominant arm, matched for total forces across repetitions. While we observed trivial differences in total forces between conditions, under the varied condition, participants produced a steeper decrease in forces, suggesting that off-task uncertainty impacted their effort allocation strategy. We speculate that this pattern can be attributed to cognitive overload and/or changes in motivation stemming from the imposed uncertainty.
Attachment Orientations Moderate People’s Preferences for Market Versus Communal Relationships Under a Control Threat
Authors: Gasiorowska Agata , Zaleskiewicz Tomasz
Published: April 2023

In two studies we examined the effects of a control threat and attachment orientation on people’s preferences for market relationships. In Study 1, experiencing a control threat increased the willingness to seek practical support in the market rather than ask a close person for help among participants with higher attachment anxiety. In a well-powered preregistered Study 2, we replicated these results and demonstrated that they also hold for situations in which emotional support is desired. In addition, we demonstrated that the effect of a control threat on the preference for market-based support is moderated by attachment orientations above the effect of objective and subjective socioeconomic status. The effects we found suggest that people’s involvement in market relationships may fulfill important psychological needs, serving as a buffer against attachment insecurities.
Myth as Structural Component: A Study of W. B. Yeats' “Sailing to Byzantium” from Mythical Structuralism
Authors: Sharma Bam Dev
Published: April 2023

Structuralism commonly deals with signs and signification process to produce meaning of any text based on structures tied in signifier and signified. It is theoretical concept developed by Ferdinand de Saussure which, later on, became conversant in art and literature known as structuralism and is applied in literary texts. From the structural sense, myth is one of the prominent components to connect both visible and implicit signification attuned to a language.

Mythical structuralism tends to embody a system of communication where mythical references and allusions indicate message. That is, myth cannot be simply categorized as an object or image. Rather, it is a mode of significations liked in the chain, both apparent and non apparent. Specifically, myth is structural sign of the past whose signification process can be traced into the language in use as in second order. Considering this, myth as structural analysis is applied to see undercurrent mythical allusions and references in W.B. Yeats' "Sailing to Byzantium". I focus on the ideas and theoretical concepts employed by Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, and Julia Kristeva. These scholars try to see language as an embodiment of structure: both the visible and invisible within certain linguistic entity incorporated with signs, signifiers, signified and signification process. Myth as the signification process is discussed as latent and visible structures exposed in language.
Paradox between Religion and Biotechnology in Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go
Authors: Dewan Motikala Subba
Published: April 2023

In the modern world, biotechnology plays a vital role to help improve human lives and the health of the planet; and, similarly, we cannot deny the significance of religion that helps to shape the human’s mind and spiritual growth. Both are equally important even though many secularists and nonbelievers tend to regard religion and science (technology) as vitally incompatible. This incompatibility is also imagined to extend the relationship between religion and biotechnology. We cannot envisage the present world without technology, which is often rooted, sometimes unknowingly in religious myths and ancient dreams and it is unfortunate sometimes technology has proven itself capable of causing terrible problems in the name of humanity and one of the reasons for this may be the religious impulses people are ignoring. This research article tries to analyze the paradox between religion and biotechnology based on humanity raised by Kazuo Ishuguro in the novel Never Let Me Go. It tries to examine the scientific credibility and the religious values for humanity in the futuristic world.
Spiritualism in Ghãtu
Authors: Gurung Raj Kumar
Published: April 2023

Ghãtu is fully based on spiritual practices. The ethnic group, Gurung observes this Ghãtu for good harvesting and faith healing. The performers believe that some of the diseases are healed after taking part in the dance performance. There are several benefits of observing the performance. When Ghãtu god is happy the villagers are protected from various kinds of bad luck. The villagers also believe that there will be good harvest after the performance. One most surprising thing is that the protagonist, Yempahawati self immolates for spiritual unification with her husband in the heaven. She believes that she will surely meet her husband in the spiritual world. She does not care of the throne, neither does she care her breast feeding two and half years old boy, Bala Krishna. She is no more interested in such material things. Therefore, this performance is full of spiritual practices.

Authors: Jnawali Govinda , Jaiswal Amrita
Published: April 2023

This study aims to achieve the key objectives of the factors affecting the demand for life insurance in Kapilvastu district. It is a novel study in the field of the insurance industry in the context of Kapilvastu district, as this study incorporates socio-demographic variables, saving motives, and financial literacy as a determinant of demand for life insurance. Primary data has been collected through convenience sampling from a sample of 384 individuals; the study has analyzed the influence of socio-demographic variables, saving motives, and financial literacy on life insurance demand. To determine the relationship between the demographic factors and life insurance demand way ANOVA tests have been conducted. Similarly, to test the association between categorical variables chi-square test has been used. The relationship between financial literacy and saving motives (precautionary, bequest, life cycle, and wealth accumulation motives) with life insurance demand is then analyzed using multiple regression. Results have confirmed that among all the socio-demographic variables, the number of dependents, level of education, and level of income have a significant effect on the demand for life insurance. Similarly, bequest motives and financial literacy were positive contributors to life insurance policy demand. However, it is worth noting that although marital status has an insignificant effect on life insurance policy demand but unmarried individuals still tend to have more life insurance in comparison to married and widowed respondents. Other determinants of saving motives like precautionary motives, life cycle motives, and wealth accumulation motives have an insignificant effect on life insurance demand.

Published: April 2023

Customer satisfaction is the degree of satisfaction provided by the goods or services of a company as measured by the number of repeat customers. It is also the marketing term that measures how products or services supplied by a company meet a customer’s expectations. This study has developed a theoretical framework to analyze the customer satisfaction of supermarkets in Rupandehi district with the major defining variables service delivery, other facilities, product variety and product price. The findings of a sample set of respondents (380) analyzed using multiple regression analysis indicate  that customers are satisfied with service delivery, product variety and other facilities, while they are not satisfied with product price. The study concluded that most preferred factor for customer to visit supermarket is product variety and availability. Most important factor that peoples consider for the satisfaction of supermarket are product variety, product price and service delivery. Other facility provided by the supermarket has not significant effect on the customer satisfaction.
Credit Portfolio Diversification and Firm Performance of Nepalese Commercial Banks
Authors: Maharjan Rashna
Published: April 2023

This study examines credit portfolio diversification and firm performance of Nepalese commercial banks. Return on asset and return on equity are selected as the dependent variables. Similarly, real estate loan, term loan, overdraft loan, deprived sector loan, capital adequacy ratio, loan to deposit ratio, and non-performing loan are selected as the independent variables. This study is based on secondary data of 22 commercial banks with 132 observations for the study period from 2015/16 to 2020/21. The data were collected from Banking and Financial statistics published by Nepal Rastra Bank, reports published by Ministry of Finance, the annual report of respective banks and World Bank database. The correlation coefficients and regression models are estimated to test the significance and relationship between credit portfolio diversification and firm performance of Nepalese commercial banks.

The study showed that capital adequacy ratio has a positive impact on return on asset. It indicates that increase in capital adequacy ratio leads to increase in return on asset. However, the study also shows that that real estate loan, term loan, overdraft loan, deprived sector loan, and non-performing loan are negative factors that affect return on assets (ROA) of commercial banks in Nepal. It indicates that real estate loan, term loan, overdraft loan, deprived sector loan, and non-performing loan have a negative impact on bank return on assets indicating that higher the real estate loan, term loan, overdraft loan, deprived sector loan, and non-performing loan, lower would be the bank return on assets (ROA). On the other hand, real estate loan and overdraft loan are the positive and significant (at 5% level of significance) factors that affect the return on equity of commercial bank of Nepal. It indicates that increase real estate loan and overdraft loan ratio leads to increase in return on equity. Moreover, the regression result also shows that deprived sector loan and non-performing loan are positive factors that affect the return on equity but the impact is not significant. However, term loan, capital adequacy ratio and loan to deposit ratio has a negative impact on return on equity (ROE) and the result is statistically insignificant.

Annotation. Work ergonomics is a fundamental factor in the high-quality and successful daily work of dentists. Non-observance of the basic aspects of ergonomics leads to the deterioration of treatment results, an increase in the number of complications, an increase in energy and time spent on the treatment, and the occurrence of violations in the physical and psycho-emotional health of the doctor. The purpose of the work is to optimize the ergonomic work patterns of dentists by developing an algorithm for individualized correction of the ergonomic component of work using the possibilities of modelling the spatial relationships of the components in the projection of the working field and considering the topographic affiliation of different groups of teeth. 20 dentists and 12 interns participated in the study, from which two groups were formed – the research group and the control group. The ergonomic components of the work of dentists were evaluated according to the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) criteria. Mathematical analysis and verification of the reliability of the results, as well as the calculation of possible errors, were carried out on the basis of the software “Statistica 6.0” (STATISTICA) and Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Microsoft Office). Based on the results of the study, a discrete-event simulation of the work cycle of endodontic treatment was carried out, after which an individualized protocol for optimizing the ergonomic components of each doctor's work was formed. As a result of the study, an evaluation of the effectiveness of using the developed ergonomics correction algorithm in the practice of doctors during root canal treatment and an analysis of changes in the structure of the distribution of errors and complications under the conditions of optimization of ergonomic components in accordance with adapted recommendations was carried out. Statistical interdependencies between ergonomic factors and treatment complications were revealed. The implementation of individualized protocols for the correction of ergonomic components in the process of endodontic treatment helps to reduce the frequency of errors and complications.

Published: April 2023

Se estudiaron los pequeños mamíferos en dos sitios del Parque Nacional Sierra de las Quijadas (PNSQ): Desaguadero (DES) y Potrero de la Aguada (PDA), a partir de egagrópilas de Bubo virginianus colectadas entre 2015 y 2016. Los ensambles estuvieron compuestos por al menos 10 especies de roedores, un marsupial y un quiróptero (N = 612). La mayor abundancia relativa correspondió al sigmodontino Calomys musculinus. Se registraron dos especies endémicas y raras, Andalgalomys olrogi y Salinomys delicatus. Se extiende el listado de pequeños mamíferos del PNSQ, incluyendo zonas no muestreadas anteriormente y destacando el valor del ecotono como reservorio de biodiversidad.

La chinchilla de cola corta ha sido cazada hasta casi su extinción entre los siglos XIX y XX. En abril de 2022 confirmamos la presencia de poblaciones en la provincia de Salta, luego de décadas sin registros visuales en Argentina. Aquí, documentamos una nueva población en Antofalla, Catamarca, 80 km al sudeste de la población salteña. La presencia de la especie fue confirmada por fotografías obtenidas con trampas cámara. La búsqueda de poblaciones remanentes de chinchilla de cola corta en los Altos Andes es prioritaria para establecer la situación actual de la especie e identificar potenciales áreas para su conservación.

La alimentación de la mulita pampeana es poco conocida. En la presente nota se revisaron 15 heces obtenidas en 1997 en Florida, Uruguay. Las mismas se pesaron, se disgregaron en seco y se separaron material vegetal, partículas de suelo y fragmentos de animales. De los restos zoológicos identificables, los escarabajos (Familia Scarabaeidae) aparecieron en el 100% de las muestras, Curculionidae en el 93,3%, especies de la Familia Formicidae y del Orden Orthoptera en el 60% y de la Familia Carabidae en el 53,3%. Los resultados confirman la tendencia a la entomofagia-mirmecofagia de la especie y muestran que cuando se alimenta lo hace junto a importantes cantidades de tierra.
Deep Insights into Herbal Plants with Potential Anti-diarrheal Drug

Published: April 2023

Millions of people throughout the globe rely on traditional medicines as part of their alternative health care systems. In contrast to contemporary pharmaceuticals, which are single molecules that have undergone extensive testing, structural optimization, and toxicological clearance, traditional herbal remedies are multi-constituent treatments whose safety and effectiveness is dependent on the experiences of practitioners. More than 80% of today’s pharmaceuticals come from natural sources (plants, bacteria, cells, etc.), either as the original molecules or as synthetic versions of the original chemicals. Diarrhea and similar gastrointestinal diseases are treated using a wide variety of medicinal herbs used in traditional medicine. The effectiveness of several of these plants in treating diarrhea in animal models has been shown by science. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of these have been subjected to rigorous clinical trial testing. Several traditional anti-diarrheal medicinal herbs are discussed, and their effectiveness in in-vivo models is highlighted. While a small number of active phytomolecules have been isolated from these plants, their potential therapeutic use and safety have not been thoroughly investigated. The prospective herbal extracts that might be researched for the discovery of new active molecules against diarrhea and other gastrointestinal illnesses are also described in this study. The development of innovative, effective, and safe phyto-medicines for fighting diarrhea and related illnesses will need rigorous clinical studies of lead plants/phyto-molecules.

Chalcone or (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one is reported to be a precursor of flavonoids and isoflavonoids and are the open-chain intermediates in aurones synthesis of flavones. With a benzylideneacetophenone scaffold and a threecarbon α, β unsaturated carbonyl bridge connecting the two aromatic nuclei, they can be found in numerous conjugated forms in nature. The aim of this research is to synthesize and characterize some 4-nitro-containing substituted chalcones. The molecules were screened for antibacterial activities against B. subtilis and K. pneumonia. All the substituted nitro-chalcones (1-4) showed low to moderate antibacterial activity against B. subtilis and K. pneumonia. The compounds demonstrated ZOI values of 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm for B. subtilis and 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm for K. pneumonia at 0.1% level whereas ZOI values of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm for B. subtilis and 4.9 mm to 7.2 mm for K. pneumonia at 0.2% level. Compound 1 containing dimethylamino demonstrated the best antibacterial activity; however far low activity than the standard drug ciprofloxacin.

The small-scale pig keeping in Lesotho has emerged as one of the common ways of subsistence for the vast majority of Basotho. Infection by gastrointestinal parasites is a common and persistent health threat that limits the extent to which the pig industry can potentially perform. Knowledge about the risk factors influencing parasitic infection is essential in order to make relevant interventions aimed at mitigating the occurrence and spread of parasites. A cross-sectional study was undertaken on 90 healthy pigs to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites. The floatation technique was utilized for laboratory analysis, and parasite eggs were identified based on the morphology. SPSS version 20.00 was used for analysis, from which Binary logistic regression was utilized. The overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was 69%, the predominant specie was nematodes with 63% and the least was recorded for coccidian with 28%. Sows (79.6%, 32.7%) were more highly parasitized than boars (43.9%, 22.0%) in terms of nematodes and coccidian, respectively. Higher parasitic prevalence was recorded in young (76.5%, 35.3%) pigs than in older (46.2%, 17.9%) pigs both for nematodes and coccidian, respectively. It is therefore concluded that sex and age are the major determinants of parasitic infection in pigs.
