Objetivo. Evaluar la eficacia del consumo de alimentos fortificados con hierro en el aumento de los niveles de hemoglobina en niños menores de 6 meses a 6 años con o sin anemia. Material y métodos. Se realizaron búsquedas en MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS y Scopus, siguiendo las directrices PRISMA. El proceso de recopilación de artículos científicos se llevó a cabo a través del programa Rayyan, empleando un sistema de revisión por pares e independiente realizado por los tres autores. Para la evaluación del riesgo de sesgo se empleó la herramienta ROB 1, exclusiva para valorar ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. Resultados. De los 599 estudios identificados, se seleccionaron aleatoriamente 5 ensayos experimentales para su revisión, realizados en Brasil, Camerún, India y Europa Occidental. Los alimentos fortificados incluyeron pan, arroz, leche en polvo, fórmula y cereales para niños. Aunque se observó un aumento en los niveles de hemoglobina y hierro sérico en los niños que consumieron alimentos fortificados con hierro, estos incrementos no fueron significativos en la mayoría de los ensayos. Resultados más favorables se evidenciaron cuando los alimentos también estaban enriquecidos con vitaminas A, C y D. Conclusión. En conclusión, el consumo de alimentos fortificados con hierro podría ser eficaz en reducir la deficiencia de hierro y aumentar los niveles de hemoglobina en niños de 6 meses a 6 años.
Robert Heinrich Johannes Sobotta (1869-1945): The Great Author of the Most Widely Used Anatomy Atlas in Medical Education
Authors: Önal Vildan , Nteli Chatzioglou Gkionoul , Gayretli Özcan
Published: February 2024

In 1904 Sobotta’s Atlas of Descriptive Human Anatomy was published for the first time. At that time still divided into three volumes and published by Verlag Lehmann in Munich, the atlas was completely revised in 1982 and restructured into two volumes. Although the atlas has been revised several times since it was first published almost a hundred years ago. After starting out in Berlin, Sobotta worked for twenty-one years at the Anatomical Institute in Würzburg. Here he spent most of his scientific work and created his most important works. A brief three-year stint as director of the Anatomical Institute at the University of Königsberg followed before Sobotta became director of the Anatomical Institute in Bonn in 1919, where he taught until his retirement. The study paper is intended to provide a more detailed insight into the life and work of the scientist, whose name is known to almost every physician and healthcare professional.

The presence of the Mejaga-jaga Tradition serves as a historical representation of the populace's allegiance to their monarch. This tradition encompasses the pacaruan ritual, which aims to counteract the adverse influence of bhutakala and infuse the sanctity of the universe.The research objective underscores the role of ritual communication in shaping the perceptions of menyamabraya as a means to construct the belief system of the BesangKawanTohjiwa Village community. The study employed a qualitative-interpretative approach with the aim of extracting information to elucidate the research locale, grounded in community experiences and subsequently documenting it in scholarly discourse. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model, resulting in an illustration that the Mejaga-jaga Tradition ritual uses the main means of a bantengculawhich is paraded in the ngiderprocession around the village, krama lanangcarry berokanmade of jakatree fronds decorated with bludruleaves and the ends are paired with dewatanawasangaweapons. In the ngiderprocession, the bantengcula is paraded around three times as a symbol of cleansing bhuana agung and bhuana alit, namely alambhur, bwah, and swah. The Mejaga-jaga tradition employs the concept of menyamabraya as a means of ritual communication to influence the perception of the BesangKawanTohjiwa community. Ritual communication is directed towards the elaboration of cultural messages, serving as a mode of logical reasoning, consequently overcoming the challenges associated with public comprehension when interpreting religious symbols and rituals.Menyamabrayais a significant concept for the Balinese people when it comes to understanding tradition and culture. Ritual communication has the potential to influence how Menyamabraya is perceived in the social interactions of the BesangKawanTohjiwa community. This perception is deemed ideal depending on the stimuli it encounters, enabling the development of a belief system that preserves cultural identity.

Published: February 2024

Carrots are one type of vegetable that is rich in vitamin A. In order to increase carrot consumption, it is necessary to diversify carrot-based preparations, among others, by adding carrots to the pudding suction. This study aims to determine the effect of the interaction of the type and concentration of wotel extract on the chemical and organoleptic quality of lipo pudding as functional food. The research method used is experimental laboratory with Complete Random Design (RAL) research design which is arranged factorially with 2 (two) factors. The first factor is the type of carrot extract, namely boiled carrot extract and fresh carrot extract. The second factor is the difference in carrot extract concentration, which is 7%, 10% and 13% carrot extract. Each treatment factor was repeated 3 (three) times resulting in 18 trials. Observational variables include β-carotene tests, crude fiber tests, reduction sugar tests, and organoleptic tests. Based on the results of the study showed that the interaction between different types and carrot extracts had no real effect on β-carotene levels, crude fiber levels, sugar reduction levels. The best treatment in this study was the F2B treatment, namely suction pudding with the addition of fresh carrot extract with a concentration of 10% with the highest Yield Value (NH) of 0.87. The criteria for the parameters of the study were β-carotene content = 983.0 ppm, crude fiber content = 2.1%, reduced sugar content = 14.37%, color = 5.05 (somewhat like), taste = 5.07 (somewhat like), aroma = 4.67 (somewhat like), and chewiness = 4.71 (somewhat like).

Współzależność nierówności płac ze wzrostem gospodarczym w Polsce
Authors: Kumor Paweł
Published: February 2024

The paper presents results of econometric surveys where two hypotheses were verified: Kuznets hypothesis (as the first) concerning the impact of economic level on salary inequalities and the second one on the parabolic impact of inequalities on the economic growth. The irregularities of the full-time employee salary distribution by Gini's coefficient on the basis of a sample of the years 1970–2006 were presented. The surveys confirmed the parabolic impact of salary inequalities on the economic growth. The optimum salary inequality of Gini's coefficient (about 28.7%) was estimated. Too high inequalities in the years 2000–2006 (differed substantially from the optimum value) caused a slowdown of the economic increase.

Published: February 2024

The census information for Poland's and other European countries' demographic and social changes analyses is discussed respecting two basic questions: character of the processes in the last decades (family changes, territorial, occupational and social mobility, change dynamics) and development of statistical sample surveys as well as improving population data coming from registers. The article discusses unique characteristics of census information as well as their cognitive value for identification of change and continuity process elements in Poland (in comparison with previous censuses), comparative analyses of changes in Poland and in other countries, estimation of social needs resulting from the changes as well as recognition of the social risk groups. The role of the information on demographic and social structures in multidimensional evaluation on "how the Polish society handles with the change", and what chances it has to be equal to the technical revolution and the globalisation with the simultaneous need to cut down the development lag were stressed in the article too.

Authors: Lichota Wojciech
Published: February 2024

The article presents methods of the early warning of the Polish authorship as well as the modified scoring-based evaluation of the credit risk. A validation of the method variability was carried out basing on 20-enterprise-sample results from special economic zones. The article includes some conclusions which indicate i. a. that an attention should be paid on the different construction of indices when the analysis of an enterprise financial situation is performed. The indices are used to calculate a function value and weights of each index as well as mathematical signs which accompany the index weight. The evaluation of the enterprise financial situation should be made by many methods as well as in a few years' period. Results from one- or two-year period only do not allow to estimate the enterprise financial condition precisely. They can lead to wrong conclusions.
Efektywność w standardowym modelu CCR-DEA przy zmianach rozmiaru zadania
Authors: Guzik Bogusław
Published: February 2024

Changes of efficiency object indices were discussed in the CCR-DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model by various function sizes. It was proved that the increase of the outlay/result quantity causes increase or stability of efficiency indices and an increase of the object quantity results in decrease or stability of efficiency indices. The characteristics are important in projecting analysis depth by DEA methods. Decrease or increase of the efficiency index can be caused by formal factors and cannot result from economic efficiency of objects only. Similar problems can be met in other approaches to quantity analysis, e.g. in statistical (econometric) regression models.

Published: February 2024

An infrastructural equipment measure in powiats is presented in the article. The measure was executed by two sets of diagnostic features. In the first approach, the infrastructure was described with the aid of density indicators, in the second one – with the aid of availability indicators. The results showed that both approaches make it possible to select powiats with the unsatisfactory infrastructure equipment level by availability and by density as well as powiats very well-equipped. It results from natural conditions as well as from the population density. It was stated that very good infrastructure availability is not strictly correlated with its high density level. Most quickly rises the infrastructure availability in rural areas characterized by low development level (gas and sewage systems).

Objective. Aging is characterized by the loss of abilities in the psychological and physical sense. Detailed assessment of cognitive status may enable early identification of high-risk patients who are candidates for dementia. The aim of this research was to examine the cognitive status of elderly people over 65 years of age living in the community and potential risk factors that contribute to the onset of dementia. Methods. The research was designed according to the principle of a cross-sectional study. The research used a general questionnaire, subjective and objective assessment of respondents, Mini Kog assessment. The ch2 square test was used for statistical tests. The usual value of p<0.05 was taken as the level of statistical significance. Results. Females (80.2%) had better cognitive status than males (84.6%) (ch2 =0.189; p=0.664). Respondents with the lowest level of education (primary school) had a worse cognitive status (23.5%) compared to 13.3% of respondents with an intermediate level of education (ch2 =9.139; p=0.010). 8.8% of respondents who socialize with friends had a good cognitive score compared to 0% of respondents with a good cognitive score who do not socialize with friends (ch2 =18.243; p=0.000), also, the cognitive status was worse in those respondents who used different aids (75%) versus 17% of those who do not use different aids for their functional mobility (ch2 =8.832; p=0.003). Conclusion. Dementia is present in a high percentage among elderly people. The level of education and the use of aids are potential risk factors for the onset of dementia.
The solution of the Bessarabian question in 1940 and changes in the Balkans
Authors: Ajrapetov Oleg
Published: February 2024

In 1918, Royal Romania launched an intervention against Soviet Russia, seizing Bessarabia. The Romanian troops were defeated and the Royal Government agreed to evacuate Bessarabia. This agreement was thwarted by the Austro-German offensive against Russia in 1918 and the outbreak of the Civil War. Soviet diplomacy never recognized the fact of occupation. In 1940, when the system of international agreements based on Franco-British dominance in Europe collapsed, the revision of the Versailles order in the Balkans began. The first step of this process was the return of Bessarabia to the USSR.

Authors: Chabibi Wahyu Nur , Sishadiyati Sishadiyati
Published: February 2024

Economic growth is an indicator of the success of a country's development. On a regional scale, economic growth parameters can be seen from the growth of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita. DIY Province is one of Indonesia's provinces designated as a National Tourism Strategic Area (KSPN) by the Ministry of Tourism. Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) is a tourist destination with high economic productivity. This, of course, must be supported by the availability of adequate infrastructure. Therefore, this research aims to determine the effect of road, electricity, and water infrastructure development on GRDP rates in DIY Province. The data that has been obtained is analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of this research show that the development of road infrastructure and electricity significantly influences the rate of GRDP in DIY Province. Meanwhile, the development of clean water infrastructure does not significantly affect the rate of GRDP.

Este estudio examina la interconexión entre la apicultura y los sistemas productivos modernos, destacando la relevancia económica de esta actividad en el contexto global y latinoamericano. La apicultura, centrada en las abejas melíferas, no solo genera ingresos, sino que también desempeña un papel crucial en la preservación de la biodiversidad y la seguridad alimentaria. En Latinoamérica, la apicultura contribuye significativamente al empleo, al Producto Interno Bruto agrícola y a los ingresos a través de la exportación de productos apícolas. A pesar de su importancia, enfrenta desafíos como la pérdida de hábitat, exposición a pesticidas y obstáculos en la comercialización internacional. El marco teórico aborda diversas perspectivas económicas, desde la división del trabajo hasta la economía de la información, ofreciendo una comprensión integral de la complejidad de la apicultura. Estudios previos exploran su impacto en diferentes contextos geográficos y socioeconómicos. La metodología se basa en una revisión bibliográfica detallada, analizando la literatura existente sobre la interconexión apícola. Los resultados revelan deficiencias en la producción apícola en la Amazonía brasileña y experiencias singulares de apicultores en la agricultura familiar en Brasil y el Macizo Colombiano. La discusión destaca la necesidad de mayor investigación, políticas de estímulo al consumo de productos apícolas y enfoque en áreas higiénico-sanitarias y de financiamiento. La apicultura muestra una interconexión significativa con los sistemas productivos, donde la gestión eficiente de costos y estrategias de comercialización son clave para mejorar la rentabilidad y la competitividad. En conclusión, el estudio aboga por una comprensión integral y un enfoque estratégico para optimizar el potencial económico y sostenible de la apicultura.
Optimization of Tempe Fermentation With the Addition of a Combination of Yeast and Starch Flour: Effect on Process Speed and Product Freshness Period
Authors: Cicik Sudaryatiningsih  , Yonathan Suryo Pambudi
Published: February 2024

This research explores the potential for adding a combination of tempeh yeast and starch to the tempeh fermentation process to speed up fermentation and extend the product's freshness period. Through an experimental approach, we investigated the effect of the proportion of yeast and starch on the fermentation speed and shelf life of tempeh. We found that a yeast to starch ratio of 1:2 significantly accelerated the fermentation process, while a ratio of 1:1 was effective in extending the shelf life of tempeh up to 80 hours. Organoleptic tests show positive consumer acceptance of the tempeh variations produced. This research makes a significant contribution to tempeh processing technology, offering practical solutions for the fermented food industry to improve the quality and attractiveness of tempeh products on the market.

Authors: Khela Fahmy , Malak Amjad
Published: February 2024

Important features for securing banknotes include watermark, security thread, hologram, and Intaglio printing. These features can be realized by the user's senses. The goal of these features is to provide sufficient quality features that can help the public to determine whether or not their banknote is genuine. Recently, due to the development of computer software, laser printers and scanners, counterfeiting has become a vital issue. This paper aims to generate evaluation security features, for the banknotes model to enhance the quality. A Quantitative to evaluate the quality of security features banknotes, where the data was gathered via a questionnaire using the five-point Likert scale that uses the values: poor, fair, good, very good, and excellent. The proposed framework is used for the classification of banknotes genuine or counterfeit.

Rabbit urine, a bio-fertilizer can be used alone or in combination with inorganic fertilizer, organic or green manure to improve the growth and yield of crops. Trials were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Akwa Ibom State University, Obio Akpa campus, during the 2021 and 2022 second cropping seasons, to evaluate the effects of rabbit urine on the growth and yield of cowpea in the humid tropical region of South Eastern Nigeria. The experiment consisted of three varieties of cowpea (Sampea-7, Funam L2 and Ife brown), and five fertilizer application rates (0, NPK 200kg/ha, NPK 200kg/ha+250mls of rabbit urine (Ru), NPK 200kg/ha+500mls of Ru, NPK 200kg/ha+75mls of Ru) (designated as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively). The experiment was a 3x5 factorial, laid out in a randomized complete block design, and replicated three times. Results indicated significant differences in growth and yield parameters. Among the cowpea varieties; Ife brown performed better than Funam L2 and Sampea-7; it produced the longest vines (28.96cm), the broadest leaves (2218cm2) and the highest grain yield (698.23kg/ha). The fertilizer rates also had significant positive effects on the growth and yield traits of cowpea; as the concentration of Ru in the mixture increased, growth and yield values also increased, with T5((NPK 200kg/ha +750mls of Ru) producing the best yield (708.89kg/ha). There were significant interaction effects between the cowpea varieties and fertilizer application rates; when T5( NPK 200kg/ha +750 mls of Ru.) was applied to Ife brown, it produced the highest number of seeds/pod (7.65), the highest number of pods/plant (19.81) and the highest dry grains yield (749.62kg/ha). Ife brown and NPK 200kg/ha + 750mls of Ru (T5) were therefore recommended to farmers in the study area.

The study analyzed the financial profitability of tomato growers in Taraba State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents; examine the factors influencing tomato production; estimate tomato growers' profitability; and discover limitations impeding tomato production in the research area. Purposive, snowball, and simple random procedures were employed in the selection of the tomato growers. Data were collected via structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was used to generate data from 150 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, budgeting techniques and multiple regression analysis. The result of the study revealed that most of the farmers were educated with mean schooling years of 5 and had reasonable mean farming experience of 10 years. The results also showed that majority of the farmers have attended training with a mean of 6 times training in a year. The finding indicated that land, fertilizer and cost of irrigation were the factors that influence tomato production. The result further pointed that tomato production is a profitable venture with a cost benefit ratio of 2.26. The result also established that high cost of input was the major constraints militating against tomato production. Based on this finding it was recommended that input such as fertilizer should be made available to the farmers at a subsidized rate by both private sector and government. Tomato farmers should be educated on how to tackle pest and disease associated with tomato production.

Published: February 2024

Except in cases of establishment and management, minors are not legally prohibited from participating in capital contribution, purchasing shares, or acquiring contributed capital (referred to as capital contribution) in a company. In principle, regarding the constitutional right to freedom of business, minors may engage in capital contribution to a company under the supervision of a legal representative by consenting or refusing to ensure the minor's best interests. This has led to some legal consequences disadvantaging minors. The article applies various methods of legal analysis along with practical correlations to analyze, comment, and provide directional recommendations for legal improvement.
Cross-Cultural Conceptualizations of Love: Cognitive Linguistic Analysis of Metaphors in Poems of Kabir and Rumi
Authors: Satsangi Abhijeet , Ghosh Sanjukta
Published: February 2024

This study explores the conceptual metaphors of love in the selected thirty Hindi poems by 15th-century Indian mystic poet Kabir and thirty poems by 13th-century Persian Sufi mystic poet Rumi. This research involved the thematic analysis with an emphasis on Identifying Conceptual Metaphors of Love in the poems of the two renowned poets. The findings reveal that poems by Kabir employed thirteen conceptual metaphors, while that of Rumi utilized eleven, revealing commonalities in eight metaphors such as LOVE IS MERGER, LOVE IS MATERIAL, and LOVE IS DRINK/DRUG. Employing Conceptual Metaphor Theory by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Metaphor Identification Procedure developed by the Pragglejaz Group (2007), the research provides a cross-cultural analysis of divine love conceptualization. The findings support cognitive linguistic theses on conceptual metaphors, contributing to a nuanced understanding of love across two distinct cultures.
