Authors: Renubala Devi Yumkhaibam , Randhawa Rajwant Kaur , Chaudhary Priyanka
Published: January 2022

Breastfeeding is an ideal form of feeding to neonate. It is most precious gift a mother can give and is free of cost. It should be started as soon as possible after birth. Breast milk is a species-specific complete food. Human milk facilitates effortless digestion for infant and is well absorbed by the newborn. It helps in stimulating the production of breast milk, protect against infection and facilitate mother infant bonding and promotes better brain growth. For mothers breastfeeding helps in involution of uterus, delays pregnancy and lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Every year around 57,000 children below 5 years of age lose their lives, among which 54 percent die within the first month of life. The data stated that 22 percent of newborn death can be prevented through breastfeeding within 1st hour of birth. Mother play a very important roles in reducing neonatal mortality and neonatal morbidity rate by their knowledge and practice while feeding their baby.
Method: Descriptive correlation study design was conducted in the month of August 2021 National Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Birganj, Nepal. Sample size was 50 primi para mothers. Purposive sampling techniques was used to select the sample. Semi structure interview schedule and observation checklist was prepared according to objectives which comprised questions related to demographic variables, Knowledge to assess breastfeeding and observational checklist to assess practice Data was collected by administering this structured questionnaire to the primipara mothers.

Published: January 2022

There is a traditional believe that if premenopausal women engage in prolonged physical exercise, they are likely to have infertility. This study assessed the effect of prolonged moderate – vigorous exercise on ovarian reserve and ovulatory status in premenopausal students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi Campus. The objectives were to determine the effect of moderate – vigorous intensity exercise on Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), day 3 Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), day 3 Estrogen, day 21 Estrogen, and day 21 Progesterone levels in premenopausal women. This was a prospective comparative study involving 80 participants aged between 19 and 25 years, randomly selected and assigned to exercise group and control group. The exercise group comprised 40 participants who engaged in moderate – vigorous intensity exercise using elliptical bike for 30 minutes, five days a week for 3 months; however, 30 individuals completed the exercise. The control group comprised of 40 individuals that did not do exercise but 30 individuals completed the study. Blood (8ml) was collected from each of the participants at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months. AMH, FSH, LH, Estrogen and Progesterone levels were analyzed using enzyme- linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results were regarded as significant at p˂ 0.05. In the exercise group, the serum level of day 3 FSH, LH, Estrogen were significantly lower from 7.27±0.77 mIU/ml, 7.00±0.77 mIU/ml, 36.33±5.13 pg/ml respectively at baseline to 5.62±0.48 mIU/ml, 5.36±0.80 mIU/ml, 21.36±4.34 pg/ml respectively after 3 months of exercise while there was significantly higher levels of AMH and day 21 progesterone after 3 months of exercise compared with the baseline and respective control (p<0.05). Prolonged Moderate-to-vigorous exercise may enhance fertility and well-being of premenopausal women.

Key words: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), day 3 Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), day 3 Estrogen, day 21 Estrogen, day 21 Progesterone, moderate – vigorous exercise, ovarian reserve, ovulatory status, premenopausal women.
The First Stage of Acquired Syndactyly Reconstruction - A Rare Case Report
Authors: Tanuwijaya Lucretya Yeniwati , Hariantana Hamid Agus Roy Rusly , Sanjaya I Gusti Putu Hendra
Published: January 2022

Background: Acquired syndactyly is a very rare disorder on the interdigital area. Syndactyly with only soft tissue involvement can be a sequela of trauma, such as burn, inflammation or infection in the interdigital area, resulting in bony fusion following crush injury.
Case Report: An 8-year-old boy came to our department with fusion from the base to the tip of the first to fourth right toes since the accidental step on burnt plastic 5 years ago. He complained of a poor appearance and discomfort when walking. Then we performed zigzag incision for first to second toes and third to fourth toes. Skin graft closure was performed to cover the defect on third to fourth toes. The second reconstruction surgery will be scheduled 6 months later.
Discussion: The surgical techniques for foot syndactyly were derived from those for hand syndactyly, which are to separate the digital fusion by creating local skin flap. Additionally, skin graft might be necessary when recent surgeons avoid the use of skin graft for open treatment, primary closure by defatting, or intricate local flaps. These can shorten the operation time and minimize donor site morbidity. However, surgeons should consider the free tension closure of the wound by combining the skin graft after the flap.
Conclusion: Reconstruction procedure for foot syndactyly aims to improve the appearance and function of the toes as well as to avoid progressive deformity through development. The skin graft addition in combination of skin flap shows promising outcome.

Key words: acquired syndactyly, syndactyly reconstruction, zigzag flap, skin graft.
Case Report: Anaesthetic Management of Placenta Percreta
Authors: Ghosh Subir Kumar , Ramdev Babita , Sidhu Noorjit
Published: January 2022

Background: The placenta is a complicated organ and is partially understood. It is the essential part for physiological changes leading to a successful pregnancy. Placenta percreta is the most severe and least common form of placenta accreta in which villi penetrate the entire myometrial thickness and reach or traverse the serosa to encroach adjacent organs. Patients with placenta percreta are at a greater risk of life-threatening perioperative bleeding as well as massive and deadly thromboembolic events.
Case report: Our patient was a 34-year-old gravida 5female who underwent elective cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation with a diagnosis of placenta accreta or percreta. Intraoperative findings showed placenta percreta with bladder wall involvement. Hence, hysterectomy was done. Anticipated intraoperative haemorrhage and hemodynamic instability were managed properly.
Discussion: Placenta percreta is the most serious among abnormal placentation, sometimes leading to catastrophic blood loss and very high maternal mortality and morbidity up to 10%. The most important risk factor in placenta percreta is placenta previa (low lying placenta) after cesarean delivery. Our patient met all these risk factors. Prenatal diagnosis of an invasive placenta is paramount for reducing maternal morbidity and mortality by implementing a multidisciplinary approach.

Keywords: haemorrhage, placenta percreta, hysterectomy, high-risk pregnancy.

Authors: Lubis Oktavia Fahrina , Maksum Azhar , Khadafi Muammar
Published: January 2022

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of managerial ownership structure, financial distress, and growth opportunities on accounting conservatism with litigation risk as a moderating variable. The population in this study was 171 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2010-2019 period. This research was conducted using the purposive sampling technique so that 36 samples were obtained. The data analysis method used multiple linear regression analysis and interaction tests with the help of the Eviews application program.
The study results indicate that growth opportunities partially have a positive effect on applying the principle of accounting conservatism. Meanwhile, managerial ownership structure and financial distress partially do not affect the application of accounting conservatism principles. Simultaneously managerial ownership structure, financial distress and growth opportunities affect the application of accounting conservatism principles. Litigation risk as a moderating variable cannot moderate the influence of managerial ownership structure, financial distress, and growth opportunities on applying accounting conservatism principles to manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2010-2019 period.

Keywords: managerial ownership structure, financial distress, growth opportunities, litigation risk and accounting conservatism.

Authors: B.D. Oluyemi-Ayibiowu , A.P. Adebote , K.E. Falola
Published: January 2022

The study presents a framework through which risk and uncertainties in Nigeria highway projects can be appraised using the analytical hierarchical process model. Pairwise comparison matrix was performed on eleven (11) risk and uncertainty factors that affect highway project performance through a questionnaire survey conducted among two hundred and four (204) respondents, which involved various stakeholders in the highway construction industry using Saaty’s AHP rating scale. The relative weights (significance/impact level) of each of the highway risk factors were estimated during the AHP model development. The results in descending order of risk factors priorities are Standard & Regulations (S&R), Construction (C), Project Staff (PS), Project Sponsor (PSp), Design (D), Project Finance (PF), Economic (E), Equipment (EQ), Environmental & Geotechnical (En&G), Site Location (SL) and Subcontractor (S) with impact levels of 16.6%, 14.2%, 13.9%, 13%, 12.7%, 12.2%, 10.8%, 9.8%, 6.2%, 4.2%, and 3.8% respectively. The model was validated using the statistical consistency test, with the model showing a consistency ratio equal to 0.1. The model was then applied to five (5) highway construction projects which had been constructed to predict the ones with the most and least risks. The result was in tandem with that which was given by the project managers from experiences on the project. This study showed that the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) decision support model can effectively be used for risk assessment and prioritization of highway construction projects for efficient resource utilization in Nigeria.

Random Walk Hypothesis for Stock Prices in Fiji
Authors: Sami Janesh
Published: January 2022

The main goal of this paper is to investigate the random walk hypothesis in Fiji using monthly data from January 2000 to October 2017. Applying augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF 1979, 1981) and Phillips-Perron (1988), Zivot-Andrews (1992), and Narayan and Popp (2010) unit root tests, this study finds that stock prices is best characterized as non-stationary. The estimated multiple structural break dates in the stock prices corresponds with devaluation of Fijian dollar by 20 percent in 2009 and General Elections in September 2014, which Fiji First Party won by majority votes. The empirical results indicate that stock prices are best characterized as a unit root (random walk) process, indicating that the weak-form efficient market hypothesis holds in Fiji’s stock market. Hence, it will be difficult to predict future returns based on historical movement of stock prices in Fiji’s stock market.

This paper presents the characteristics and problems of Japanese-Chinese machine translation from the perspective of translation teaching practice, compares the output of two types of translation machines, and suggests things to note when using Japanese-Chinese machine translation based on the results of a questionnaire survey. The purpose of this paper is to organize the characteristics and problems of machine translation and to help design translation lessons that support learning. The results of the survey showed that students in the translation class were more satisfied with the results of Machine Translation 2(DeepL)than Machine Translation 1 (Google), that Machine Translation was helpful to about half of the students, and that more than 70% of the students used Machine Translation frequently. In addition, through the survey and analysis in this paper, the following points should be noted when using Japanese-Chinese machine translation: (1) The problems of auditory and tactile related translations mainly focus on the ""ABAB"" type of prosody and ""prosody + and + verb"". (2) The problems of olfactory related translations are mostly due to the inability of machine translation to determine the positive or negative meaning of words. (3) The problems of taste related translations are mainly due to the fact that words expressing multiple flavors are often mis-translated. (4) Overall, machine translators are unable to select appropriate words or usage to match the context, and are unable to recognize subtle differences in words and mis-translations.

 
8050 議題之考量—由社會轉變及傳統家庭結構分析—
Authors: 桑澤悟史 桑澤悟史
Published: January 2022

日本因進入快速老化的社會，故浮現年長者須面對的社會問題，同時，因社會及經濟系統的去穩定作用，例如嚴厲失業環境或學校或工作場合與他人的增強競爭，開始有人因沒有對社會生活的適應能力而窩居家中、隔絕於社會，這些人被稱為繭居族。當他們退出社會且窩在家中愈久，年紀漸增也失去獲得自撐所需要的技能，因而造成 80 餘歲的父母要用其退休金去支撐其 50 餘歲的孩子，此稱為 8050 議題。

社福組織及研究者主要論辯點在於快速轉變的社會如何形成繭居族以及其行為如何影響 8050 議題，然而，因該論點聚焦於社會快速轉變，而缺乏傳統家庭結構與價值如何影響 8050 議題的可能性，日本的家庭似乎仍保留傳統習俗，而這些習俗仍影響著家庭的思維與行為。

基於以上背景，本論文將結合快速社會轉變及傳統家庭結構與價值兩個面向之概念，以釐清 8050 議題之機轉。

 

Since Japan has entered into super aging society, there have appeared social problems with which elderly people have faced. Simultaneously, because of destabilization of society and economic system such as tough employment environments or intensifying competition with others in schools or working places, there were people who isolated from society and kept staying home for long time due to maladaptive response to social life. These people are called as hikikomori. As they withdrew from society and stayed their houses longer and longer, they got aged and lost the opportunity to acquire skills necessary for their self-support. As a consequence, parents in their 80s who are receiving pensions need to support their children in their 50s. This issue is called as the 8050 issue. Social service organizations and researchers mainly argue how drastic social transformation produce hikikomori and how their behaviours influence toughness of the 8050 issue. However, because of the focus on the influence by drastic social transformation, their arguments would lack the prospects about how traditional family structure and value influence the 8050 issue. Japanese family seems to remain traditional custom and such custom still affects family’s thoughts and behaviours. Due to these backgrounds, this paper will clarify the mechanism of 8050 issue with combining both of theories of drastic social transformation and concepts about traditional family structure and value.

Este artigo discute as ressignificações históricas no filme “Bacurau” (2019). Assim, são postos à luz conceitos teórico-críticos como o de representação, baseando-se em Hall (2006) e Chartier (2002) no âmbito dos Estudos Culturais e da História Cultural, respectivamente, bem como as noções de poder e distinção em Bourdieu (1989), isso para entender os agenciamentos e as significações espaciais na diegese. Ademais, a linguagem fílmica é tida como lócus de posicionamentos que partem dos autores e do mundo que os rodeia, além daqueles que recebem as a obra, essas imagens-movimento que são abordadas como textos passíveis de leitura, como uma escrita em imagens. Entende-se, ao fim, que a obra traz elementos que engendrem narrativas anticoloniais aos povos social e historicamente subalternizados.

Comparative chemical profiling and antimicrobial activity of Nigella sativa seeds oils obtained from different sources
Authors: Tahir Fatima , Sonibare Mubo , Yagi Sakina
Published: January 2022

Nigella sativa L. seeds are widely used in Sudan as a spice, food preservative, and medicine. Sudan does not grow the plant. The study aimed to compare the chemical profile and antibacterial activity of fixed and essential oils of N. sativa from Ethiopian and Indian seeds and the oil offered by Attarin in the local market. A Soxhlet device extracted fixed oils and hydrodistillation to obtain essential oils and analysed their oil profile using GC-MS. Disk diffusion was used to test antimicrobial activity. The fixed oil of Ethiopian (EFO) and Indian (IFO) seeds contained ten components, with linoleic acid (50.12% in EFO and 57.69% in IFO) being the most abundant. Ethiopian seeds were used to extract the essential oil. 51.96% of the oil was hydrogenated monoterpenes. The main chemicals were p-cymene (36.76%) and thymoquinone (18.70%). There were fixed and essential oils in the Attarin oil sample. The main component was linoleic acid (14.61%), followed by p-cymene (13.85%). The maximum antibacterial activity (MIC 6.25 µg/disc) was seen in both fixed and liquid oil samples against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The best anti-P. aeruginosa action was attarin oil (MIC 12.5 µg/disc). Finally, the Sudanese market needs to standardise N. sativa seeds and oil.
The Presencing Tendency: French and American Avant-Garde Strategiesunder the Formal Subsumption of Art
Authors: Libman Ben
Published: January 2022

Whether what we call the avant-garde in literature ended sometime in the last century or, conversely, persists to this day is an open question. But rather than coming down on one side or another of the issue, this essay concerns itself with what the avant-garde looks like when, in Bourdieusian terms, it feels its very position to be at stake in the field’s struggle for domination, both internally and externally, with the field of power. Either by historical coincidence or, more intriguingly, by something as nefarious as influence, both the French and the American avant-gardes of the 1950s and 60s witnessed the development of a similar aesthetic tendency in response to encroachments upon the restricted production of their respective literary fields by external forces. This tendency, which I call a “poetics of presence,” is a gambit for textual immediacy—what Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht terms “presence effects,” as opposed to “meaning effects.” Through readings of theoretical works by Alain Robbe-Grillet, on the one hand, and poems by Frank O’Hara and John Ashbery, on the other, I demonstrate the character of the poetics of presence in the French and American contexts, concluding ultimately that in both cases such strategies function to preserve a formal subsumption of artistic labor under conditions of restricted production, as against the threading incursions of the real subsumption of that labor to which external forces—capital, politics—would subject it.

Authors: Işcan Yılmaz Vahit Vahit , Seyhan Hatice Güngör
Published: January 2022

This study seeks to examine the effect of the 5E learning model, as one of the constructivist learning approach models, supported by conceptual change texts and enriched with relevant guidance materials on eliminating the fifth-grade students' (n=42) misconceptions about "Heat and Temperature". A quantitative research approach was employed by conducting the pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design of the non-equivalent groups, namely the experimental and control groups. Before the implications, the Heat and Temperature Achievement Test (HTAT) was used to determine the academic achievement levels of the students in the experimental and control groups in the topic of heat and temperature. The pre-test results between both group students did not find a significant difference. There was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group between the HTAT post-test results. From the results obtained within the scope of the study, it was concluded that this learning model was effective in eliminating the fifth-grade students' misconceptions about the topic of heat and temperature.

Authors: Ozkan Gulbin , Umdu Topsakal Unsal
Published: January 2022

This study aims at analyzing the learning outcomes of the 2018 science education curricula in Turkey according to science process skills. Learning outcomes are statements that describe what a learner will know, understand, and/or be able to do after completing a learning process. Learning outcomes were evaluated using document analysis which is a qualitative research method. There were 269 learning outcomes analyzed from the curricula . The science learning outcomes in the curricula which are prepared by the Turkey Ministry of National Education, were examined, starting from fourth-grade to eighth-grade levels. The results show that the least common science process skills are “measuring” and “hypothesizing” dimensions, while the most common are “data interpreting” and “inferring” dimensions. The highest science learning outcomes are at the seventh-grade level, and the least science learning outcomes are at the fifth-grade level. As the grade level increases, it is seen that more learning outcomes represent higher-level skills. The number of basic science process skills of the fourth-grade level learning outcomes is higher than the number of integrated science process skills, and the number of integrated science process skills is high in learning outcomes at all other grade levels.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a novel training method that has been shown to promote positive aerobic and anaerobic adaptations under low intensity exercise by inhibiting blood flow to target tissue resulting in hypoxia and metabolic byproduct accumulation. This has been shown to have a direct positive effect on aerobic performance adaptation. The purpose was to explore the effect of BFR training on aerobic performance.
Methods:  Seven recreationally active adults were randomly assigned to either the BFR group (n=4, BFR) or non-BFR group (n=3, CON). Three testing sessions were conducted throughout the study (Pre-Test, Mid-Test, Post-Test) which consisted of a graded cycle ergometer maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) test using COSMED-K5 indirect calorimetry. Eleven BFR training sessions were performed consisting of 20-min of cycling at 35-45% of heart rate reserve (HRR) with at 60% (BFR) or 5% (CON) arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) on the BFR cuffs.
Results: Absolute VO2max, Relative VO2max, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), maximum heart rate (HRmax), and maximum rate of perceived exertion (RPEmax) reported no significant difference between BFR and CON. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) found in time to reach VO2max and maximum watts (Wmax) reached which declined over the course of the training intervention.
Conclusions: Bilateral lower limb aerobic BFR training resulted in no change in VO2max over seven weeks.

The purpose of this study is an action to study and analyze the problems of waste management in residential areas and residential waste management and community-based waste management. In this study, we use a study based on literature study which is a legal norm, where the secondary materials obtained through library research are only library materials and legal secondary materials. The essence of this discussion is the implementation of integrated waste management in Manado City based on the provisions regarding waste. It is clearly stated that waste management is not only the responsibility of the government. As a waste producer, the community has to maintain cleanliness and environmental health. In this case, an administrative disposition must be applied to continue any problems found. As mentioned in this field, compliance is low and can provide a deterrent effect for those who are not aware of the importance of waste management.

This study is a textbook analysis based on the view that textbook is a crucial aspect which should be recognized in the process of education development. Derivative topic covered on Indonesian eleventh grade’s mathematics textbook from 2008 to 2017 was chosen to be anlyzed. Furthermore, this study attempted to provide a picture of how the mathematics textbooks covered the topics. The analysis of four textbooks: 2017, 2014, 2009, and 2008 textbooks, was carried out by applying conceptual framework and “mathematical story” theory derived from literary theory. The result showed that the 2008 book had the widest range of contexts involved in derivative concept explanation. Meanwhile, all of the books were lack of discussion on derivative as a function within graph, verbal, and physics contexts. Furthermore, the narrative analysis showed that the 2017 and 2014 textbooks provide the most promising “mathematical story” for fostering reader’s curiosity. In addition, the 2017 and 2014 book also offered more multifaceted lesson in comparison with the other textbooks.

As part of an educational institution, teachers have the responsibility and important role to equip students with a variety of skills. Younger generation is now faced with the need for 21st century skills, commonly referred to as 21st century skills. These skills include learning and innovation skills, information, media, and technology skills, as well as life and career skills. Demands and challenges for students are no longer merely identifying the subject matter, but also having the ability to solve various problems related to the knowledge. One of the capabilities relevant to these needs is the ability of metacognition, namely the ability to: 1) plan problem solving strategies, 2) monitor the problem solving process, and 3) evaluate the results of problem solving. There are various reasons why this important metacognition ability is developed in students. By having good metacognition skills, students will be trained to be good problem solvers. This is because the ability of metacognition encourages students to be able to determine what strategies are appropriate and not in accordance with the problems faced. This ability also encourages students to conduct evaluations and improvements based on the results obtained. Considering the importance of metacognition abilities, each learning process is expected to be able to facilitate the development of these abilities, including mathematics learning. This paper tries to explain what is meant by metacognition abilities, what is important for students, and how the teacher's role in developing these abilities through learning mathematics.
