Authors: Mundaya Narayanan Jithesh , Viswanathan Vishwini , Tirumalai Ramanujam Tulasi , Nagendra Rao Kruthika
Published: July 2023

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) growth, cultivation and its productivity are adversely influenced by severe environmental pressures. Several environmental abiotic factors that are limited not only to drought, salinity, temperature and heat but also to mechanical stress affect tomato yield and productivity. Salinity is a persistent problem throughout the world that affects soil properties. Further, tomato productivity due to salinity stress is affected at all stages of plant development. Seed priming, a method to alleviate salinity stress is an effective technique that can improve performance and growth. It is a method that permits controlled hydration of seeds thereby, maintaining metabolic activity, without allowing the protrusion of the radicle. Mechanical conditioning, a term applied to plant stimulation by tactile stimuli through various methods like touching, brushing, or rubbing the plant material, is another environmentally friendly and simple method to regulate plant growth and also stress tolerance. Therefore, the mechanical conditioning practice primes plants for enhanced plant growth and also allows plants to defend against an impending stress factor. These two methods can be developed into successful production practices. In this chapter, we summarize current knowledge of seed priming and mechanical conditioning for plant growth, cross-tolerance and plant productivity improvement.

Food poisoning is one of the main problems affecting public health. Bacterial adhesion on surfaces has been documented for decades, and it is known that biofilm-forming bacteria are much more resistant than planktonic cells. Typically, nanosystems are studied regarding their antimicrobial activity (i.e., pathogenic bacteria such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, and Yersinia enterocolitica), but not for antibiofilm activity and their associated genes. Some studies established protein-ligand prediction concerning quorum sensing suppression, commonly called quorum quenching. This chapter focuses on nanosystems or functionalized nanomaterials that have demonstrated antibiofilm or quorum quenching activity and, thus, establishes perspectives in modeling specific nanosystems to eradicate biofilms produced by foodborne pathogens.

Air pollution with suspended particles and gaseous substances is assumed to be a possible risk factor for bronchial asthma. Bronchial asthma (BA) is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases in children and adults, characterized by variable respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with different underlying disease processes. The most common asthma phenotypes are allergic and non-allergic asthma, differing in the presence of atopy, the type of airway inflammation, responses to inhaled corticosteroid treatment. Meta-analyses, including cohort studies, support the role of fine particles in asthma in children. The question of whether the incidence of asthma in adults is associated with exposure to ambient particulate matter remains open. The chapter describes the effect of fine particles in the ambient air on the formation, course, and underlying mechanisms of different phenotype of bronchial asthma in adults. The role of ambient fine particles in the development of the eosinophilic non-allergic phenotype of bronchial asthma in adults (18–65 years old) has been proven. The hypothesis about different underlying mechanisms in response to exposure to particulate matter for various phenotypes of bronchial asthma was confirmed.

Published: July 2023

The emergence of e-commerce has transformed business models, consumer purchasing behavior, as well as consumer shopping experience. Despite offering many advantages, the rapid growth of e-commerce also brought challenges to the environment. In comparison to the traditional retail system, the logistic system of e-commerce involves more touch points. Due to this, products purchased from e-commerce require additional packaging material to protect products from harm and damages during the distribution process, which leads to the issue of overpackaging. Additionally, many researchers have suggested overpackaging solutions from the perspective of the government, e-commerce enterprises, and consumers. However, the effectiveness of those solutions are still unidentified. To close the gap that previous studies have not explored, this research is conducted to find recommendations for tackling the issue of overpackaging in e-commerce by examining the factors that influence consumer preferences towards e-commerce overpackaging solutions. In conducting the study, the researcher used a quantitative approach with purposive sampling by conducting an online survey to 400 e- commerce users from the age range of 17-26 years old (generation Z), domiciled in Bandung and Jabodetabek area, and have experienced overpackaging in e-commerce. The researcher uses descriptive, statistical, and PLS-SEM to analyze the survey result. The result indicates that Innovating Green Packaging Materials, The Establishment of a Recycling System, Government Policy, and Increasing Awareness Towards the Preservation of the Environment has a positive influence on Consumer Preference, The Establishment of a Recycling System and Consumer Preference is mediated by Government Policy and Increasing Awareness T owards the Preservation of the Environment, and Innovating Green Packaging Materials and Consumer Preference is mediated by Government Policy. The finding of this research will give insight and recommendations for the government, e-commerce enterprises, and consumers in tackling the issue of overpackaging in e-commerce.

UNSTEADY MHD SLIP FLOW OF RADIATING NANOFLUID THROUGH A POROUS MEDIA DUE TO A SHRINKING SHEET WITH CHEMICAL REACTION AND SORET EFFECT
Authors: V. K. Jarwal  , S. Choudhary
Published: July 2023

Numerical investigations are performed to analyze heat and mass transfer in MHD (magnetohydro-dynamic) nanofluid flow over a shrinking sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction with Soret effect. The transport equations involve the effect of Brownian motion, Thermophoresis, viscous dissipation, suction/injection, partial slip velocity and thermal slip. Using self suitable transformations, the governing equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations, further these equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method with shooting technique. This study reveals that the governing parameters, namely, magnetic field parameter, thermal radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter, velocity slip parameter etc., have major effects on velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number. The study admits that concentration rises with an increase in the Soret number. Numerical results are discussed with the assistance of graphs. The present problem has multiple applications in polymer, chemical and metallurgical industries such as formation of metallic and glass sheets.

SOLUTION TO EQUAL SUM OF FIFTH POWER DIOPHANTINE EQUATIONS - A NEW APPROACH
Authors: Wadhawan Narinder Kumar
Published: July 2023

Purpose of writing this paper is to introduce simple parametric solutions to quintic Diophantine equations 5.n.m where integer n > 2 and integer m > 3. Methodology applied is writing numbers in algebraic form as aI x + bI with variable x, then writing fifth power Diophantine equation, in algebraic form with one variable and then transforming it to a linear equation by vanishing its four terms. For achieving this purpose, values to aI and bI of algebraic numbers are assigned so as to vanish constant term and coefficient of fifth power of x. Then equating with zero the coefficient of second power and coefficient of x, vanishes other two terms. These operations yield two relations between various aI and bI and also a linear equation in x. On putting the value of x obtained from this linear equation in given Diophantine equation, provides solution. Paper provides a single direct parametric solution to all quintic Diophantine equations 5.n.n where ∞ > n > 5 and is simple, easily comprehensible and didactic.

Every human being wants to do the best in his life, so it’s no wonder that there are many people who do various activities (worship) to God in order to get a perfect life. When talking about the perfection of life, it will refer to the perpetrators who live life itself, namely humans. Human desires in achieving a perfect life then give birth to various kinds of beliefs which are then used as a bridge in achieving goals. This research uses library research. This research uses phenomenological methods. This study uses a comparative approach, researchers use data analysis techniques in the form of content analysis (content analysis) library research where the data source is in the form of books and documents as well as literature in other forms to provide input and transformative thoughts about the concept of perfection of life according to the flow of belief so as to provide clearer information to others, especially on the point of view of Sufism on the concept. Based on the findings of this study, it is that the difference in the meaning of the perfection of life between the teachings of Sufism and the flow of belief is that in the flow of belief the perfection of life means perfecting life from all desires and uniting with God through the practice is carried out meanwhile, in Sufism Perfection of Life is actually located in how high the level of servitude of a servant to God. Hasan Al-Bashri is a well-known Sufi who pioneered zuhud. According to his view, the path to the highest level of perfection (Ma’rifat) is by leaving worldly pleasures, through the path of Al-Khauf Wa Al-Raja’ as the main tariqah to become a Sufi. Soenarto’s view in the teachings of Paguyupan Ngesti Tunggal, in order to achieve Perfection in life, there are eight teaching concepts that must be followed by their followers as the foundation of life to achieve happiness. The eight concepts are called Hastasila, which is divided into 2 namely Trisila and Pancasila.

Published: July 2023

Özellikle tarımda makineleşme ve artan liberal politikalarla birlikte Türkiye’de kentleşme oranı hızla artmıştır. Bu sürece sanayileşme oranının düşüklüğü de dahil edildiğinde plansız, düzensiz ve afetlere karşı dirençsiz yapılaşma pek çok kenti kuşatmıştır. Günümüzde söz konusu düzensizlik ve dirençsizlik unsurları, bütüne oranla etkisini kısmen azaltsa da özellikle büyükşehirlerde ciddi bir risk olarak varlığını hala sürdürmektedir. İlgili risklere karşı gerek afet öncesinde yeni stratejiler geliştirip planlamalarda bulunmak gerekse de afet sonrasında hızlı ve etkili kriz yönetimi sürecini tatbik etmek, acil afet yönetimi için hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı acil afet, risk ve kriz yönetimi süreci merkezde olacak şekilde Türkiye’de dirençsiz kentlerin nasıl dirençli kentlere dönüşebileceğini betimleyici bir yöntemle ortaya koymaktır. Fakat Türkiye’yi en çok etkileyen afetler olarak Erzincan, Gölcük, Van, İzmir ve Kahramanmaraş gibi şiddetli depremlerin gerçekleşmiş olması ve yine ciddi şekilde etkilemesi beklenen İstanbul depremi nedeniyle çalışmanın kapsam ve sınırını deprem afeti oluşturmuştur. Özellikle deprem afetiyle etkili ve kalıcı bir mücadele sergilenmesi için dirençli kent ekosisteminin oluşturulması ve tüm kentlerde uygulanması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Efficiency and productivity of the Chilean public health system between 2010 and 2019
Authors: Lenz-Alcayaga Rony , Páez-Pizarro Luciano
Published: July 2023

Introduction In view of the strong increase in health expenditure, it is necessary to investigate whether proportional increases in healthcare production for the beneficiaries of the National Health Fund have corresponded to this increase. Methods In this observational, descriptive, and retrospective longitudinal research, we estimate the technical efficiency of the National Health Services System through the average cost of production and average labor productivity in the period from 2010 to 2019. Results During the studied decade, production has increased by approximately 6% annually; the number of workers increased (mostly physicians) by 61%; spending on salaries increased by 106% in real terms; spending on consumer goods and services has increased by 25% in real terms; the efficiency of spending has decreased by 21%, and productivity is the least dynamic element of the system with an average annual growth rate of 0.6%. After subtracting the diagnostic tests component, this scenario worsens. Conclusions The results show that higher health expenditure has not been matched by commensurate increases in output, translating into a fall in the efficiency of healthcare expenditure and meager increases or falls in productivity, depending on how the output is measured. This means that the public sector's growth strategy depends mainly on increases in the number of workers. This low productivity is a serious constraint to improving healthcare access for National Health Fund beneficiaries and contributes to increasing waiting lists. Special attention should be paid to average production costs and average labor productivity in a scenario of less dynamic growth in public health spending and health system reform.
RANGO DE HOGAR Y USO DE HÁBITAT DEL FRUTERO VERDINEGRO PIPREOLA RIEFFERII EN BOSQUES MONTANOS FRAGMENTADOS AL NORTE DE PERÚ

Published: July 2023

Resumen ∙ La fragmentación del hábitat ha causado la extinción local de muchas especies y mayormente de aquellas con poblaciones pequeñas. Sin embargo, ciertas características del paisaje permiten que algunas especies logren persistir a pesar del impacto en sus hábitats. Desde 2016 a 2019, estudiamos el rango de hogar y el uso de hábitat en función de la densidad poblacional del frutero verdinegro Pipreola riefferii (estimada mediante puntos de conteo) en bosques de niebla fragmentados en el norte de Perú. Usando radiotelemetría (10 individuos en 7 paisajes) estimamos que la media del rango de hogar para el frutero verdinegro basada en 95% densidad de Kernel (KDE) fue 3,72 ± 1,70 ha, y de 100% Polígono Mínimo Convexo (MCP) fue 1,85 ± 0,84 ha. La densidad del frutero verdinegro en bosque primario fue igual que en fragmentos, y significativamente más alta que en zonas de bosques en regeneración o silvopastoriles. Al mismo tiempo, la densidad en el bosque estuvo correlacionada negativamente con la cobertura del dosel medida con densitometría esférica. Concluimos que el frutero verdinegro puede persistir en paisajes fragmentados porque posee rangos de hogar pequeños y se encuentra en lugares con aperturas del dosel parcialmente abierto. Recomendamos el mantenimiento de bosque en regeneración u otras formas de hábitat sucesionales con abundancia de arbustos para mejorar la conectividad poblacional y la persistencia del frutero verdinegro en fragmentos aislados.
Effect of training methods and body mass index on ankle injury in futsal players
Authors: Audini Vika Ariesti , Doewes Muchsin , Sabarini Sri Santoso , Riyadi Slamet
Published: July 2023

Rationale and purpose
This study aims to determine the effect of training methods (elastic resistance bands and wobble boards) and body mass index on ankle injuries in futsal players.
Material and Methods
This research refers to a quantitative approach. The research used in this study is quasi-experimental design research. The normality test uses the Shapiro Wilk test, with the rule that if the value (p) > 0.05 then it is normally distributed. The homogeneity test uses the Levene’s Test. Test the hypothesis to determine the difference in influence between 2 variables will use the two-way ANAVA test.
Results
The use of a wobble board produces a better improvement effect especially on balance and coordination. This happens because the movement when doing the wobble board requires good balance and coordination, almost all the muscles of the body will work together to adapt to this exercise. In elastic resistance band exercises it is done with isometric muscle contractions, because it will give a reaction but there is no change in muscle length, only the muscles increase. The effect of training using elastic resistance bands will increase blood circulation in joints and bone nutrition, improve the circulatory system with pull band movements. In relation to the search for both high body mass index and low body mass index, it was found that the use of the training method with a wobble board is better when compared to the training method with elastic resistance bands. So that there is no significant interaction between training methods and body mass index. Hypothesis Test I: to test the significance of two paired samples in the treatment group with normally distributed data, a parametric test was used, namely the paired sample t-test. Data on the results of hypothesis testing I from the analysis p = 0,009 it was found that there was an effect of giving Elastic resistance band and wobble board training methods to ankle injuries of futsal players. Hypothesis Test II: can be seen that the results of the paired sample t-test for SEBT from the data obtained p = 0,704 this means that Ha is rejected and Ho is accepted. So it can be concluded that body mass index has no effects on ankle injuries in futsal players. Hypothesis Test III: There is no interaction between training methods and body mass index on ankle injuries of futsal players. From the analysis of variance, the p-value = 0,477 is less than 0,05.
Conclusions
Based on the research, it can be interpreted that there are differences in the effect of the training methods given to futsal players’ ankle injuries. This is evidenced by the significance value of p = 0,003 <α (0,05). There is no difference in the effect of body mass index on ankle injuries in futsal players as evidenced by the test results, namely the significant value of p = 0,265 > α (0,05). There is no interaction between training methods and body mass index on ankle injuries of futsal players with a significance of 0,813.

Through this Equality Education program, students will receive equivalent lessons according to their level. This package of learning activities is carried out flexibly compared to formal schools, meaning that learning is not carried out in full in 1 week but is only carried out 3 times a week. Equality Education programs are essential to the attainment of basic education learning as well as meeting educational needs and ensuring that all members of society have equal access to education services.

The improper disposal of waste materials, such as plastics, presents a severe environmental problem. However, an innovative approach to address this issue involves incorporating these waste products into asphalt. This not only improves the characteristics of the asphalt binder but also offers an efficient and responsible method for disposing of these materials. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of adding different amounts of polyethylene terephthalate and low-density polyethylene to a 60/70 penetration grade bitumen. Several tests were performed to determine the performance of modified asphalt binder. Binder adhesion and moisture resistance were evaluated using rolling bottle test and pneumatic adhesion tensile test. Comprehensive laboratory test results showed that the binder modified with low-density polyethylene and the control binder both had lower adhesion and moisture resistance compared to the binder containing 12 percent polyethylene terephthalate. This finding suggests that incorporating polyethylene terephthalate into asphalt binder enhances its adhesive properties and makes it more resilient against moisture. Not only does this innovative approach address the environmental issue of improper waste disposal, but it also improves the overall performance of asphalt. By effectively utilizing waste materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate, in the production of asphalt, contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly infrastructure.

A Comparative Study of Traditional Kashmiri Remedies and Modern Medical Management for Constipation in Srinagar, India
Authors: Shellem Mishra  , Karina Jawali
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder with various causes, significantly impacting quality of life. In Srinagar, India, traditional Kashmiri remedies are frequently employed alongside or as an alternative to modern medical management for constipation. This study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction associated with these two approaches.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 200 adult participants diagnosed with functional constipation in Srinagar. Participants were randomly allocated to either a traditional Kashmiri remedies group (n=100) or a modern medical management group (n=100). The traditional remedies group received individualized herbal formulations and dietary recommendations based on traditional Kashmiri medicine principles. The modern medical management group received standard treatments, including lifestyle advice, fiber supplements, and laxatives. The primary outcome was the change in weekly bowel movement frequency. Secondary outcomes included constipation symptom severity, quality of life, patient satisfaction, and adverse events. Data were collected at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
Results: Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in weekly bowel movement frequency, constipation symptom severity, and quality of life. However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in the primary or secondary outcomes. Patient satisfaction was high in both groups, with a slight preference for traditional remedies due to perceived naturalness and fewer side effects.
Conclusion: Both traditional Kashmiri remedies and modern medical management are effective in managing constipation in Srinagar. The choice of treatment should be individualized based on patient preferences, access to care, and cost considerations. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and optimal integration of these approaches.
The latest Ithaka S+R draft report is hugely regressive
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: July 2023

I have read, with some dismay, the draft of Ithaka S+R’s most recent report. I offer here some critical remarks that I hope will allow for revision of the work, which I believe offers an insular, digital-nationalist, exclusionary vision for the future of scholarly communications. The views herein are my personal take, not those of any organization for which I work.
What’s the point of having open scholarly infrastructures and how do we test their resilience?
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: July 2023

It is sometimes easy, when discussing openness, to get bogged down in the technical weeds. People often want detail and specifics: what open license should I use? Precisely how much revenue do I need to keep in reserve safely to wind-down an organization? When does advocacy become lobbying?

Recently I’ve been messing about with DNA barcodes. I’m junior author with David Schindel on forthcoming book chapter Creating Virtuous Cycles for DNA Barcoding: A Case Study in Science Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Diplomacy, and I’ve blogged about Adventures in machine learning: iNaturalist, DNA barcodes, and Lepidoptera. One thing I’ve always wanted is a simple way to explore DNA barcodes both geographically and phylogenetically.

Waitea circinata var. zeae (anamorf Rhizoctonia zeae) is an important pathogen of mainly monocotyledonous plants characterized by its soil-borne nature and capability for the long-term preservation. The host range of W. circinata var. zeae recently expanded to several dicotyledonous crops. The latest research conducted in Serbia revealed this pathogen as the causal agent of root and root neck rot, as well as plant decay of cabbage and oilseed at the localities of Futog and Rimski Šančevi. In this paper the available data on the distribution, preservation, dissemination pattern and control of W. circinata var. zeae, as well as research in Serbia are discussed.

Published: July 2023

Bearing in mind all the problems which the global economy faced, especially in the countries of the European Union, it could be concluded that the tax model of the European Union is one of the causes of the most economic problems and it could be characterized as outdated and dysfunctional. Analyzed the effects main of main taxation system, Value Additional Tax (VAT) it could be conclude that there excisting to many problems which are being solved on the path with main goal to exceed numerous problems with this wrong system and as expected real scores are far away from purpose. Researching this topic, it could be concluded that a very small range of people, or rather experts, take the initiative to change this system. Perhaps there is not real initiative from the academy or the real economy to provide a solution. Anyhow, new tax system should provide a better opportunity for the development of all European and world economic systems. In this material, we will try to provide a concrete and effective model or solution through concrete examples and a method of comparing the "old" and "new" tax model.
