Authors: Rohmah Sakinahtul
Published: July 2024

One-fifth of Indonesia's population engages in child marriage. Child marriages are generally not accompanied by readiness for marriage, which risks negative impacts in the future. This study aims to examine the beliefs of marriage dispensation applicant's child regarding marriage readiness. The approach used was a mixed method embedded design, where qualitative methods are preferred. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and marriage readiness scale. Four children of marriage dispensation applicants at the Malang Regency were research participants. The results showed that participants have a paradoxical beliefs in marriage readiness. Western marriage readiness paradox beliefs were found, such as older age is more ideal, premarital sex strengthens relationships and cohabitation brings benefits. However, these beliefs were not always aligned to participants' behavior. The belief that 20s is the ideal age for marriage also did not align. Although they believed that they were ready for marriage, their readiness was in the moderate category. They acted contrary on marriage readiness preparation due to the belief that premarital sex had no impact on marriage and the subjective norm that premarital sex was normal. This results can be used as a basis for providing education on marriage readiness and risky sexual behavior, especially in adolescents.

Authors: CHOUHAN SHAILENDRA , CHAUHAN LALIT SINGH , KHAMBETE HEMANT
Published: July 2024

Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to optimize the excipient concentration, that is of oil, surfactant and co-surfactants to form a Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SEDDS) using best possible combination of excipients. The present study aims to investigate the effect of homologous Brij surfactant on the self-emulsification of aceclofenac.
Methods: Three Brij surfactants Brij-35, Brij-58 and Brij-98 were selected for the study along with a common co-surfactant ethanol. The lipid carrier used was almond oil. The combinations of surfactants with ethanol were subjected to a pseudoternary diagram study.
Results: The best combination after the pseudoternary diagram study was found to be of Brij-58 and ethanol. The reason may be the difference in chains of Brij-35, Brij-58, Brij-98. The double bond of Brij-98 chain makes it rigid, whereas absence of unsaturation in Brij-58 imparts flexibility to its chain, leading to better shielding of the hydrophobic compartment when used along with ethanol. The Brij-35 chain consist of 12 carbons and Brij-58 chain consists of 16 carbons so latter offers larger core for drug solubilization. Simplex lattice design was used for optimization. Seven formulations were developed using almond oil, Brij-58, ethanol and evaluated. Formulation F2 was found to be best amongst all with globule size of 182 nm and zeta potential of-19.73 mV, indicating formation of stable microemulsion.
Conclusion: The surfactant possessing large and flexible chains along with less number of polyoxyethylene groups offers greater space for drug solubilization and better protection of the hydrophobic core and lead to finer microemulsification.

Authors: Anam Hafza , Shakeel Amir
Published: July 2024

The development of cotton production and quality is always challenging due to the narrow genetic base of present cotton germplasm, which highlights the urgent need to fully utilize the available germplasm resources to address the problems with food security. Therefore, the present study was intended to evaluate genetic diversity in fifty genotypes for yield and quality related traits at the experimental field of the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. The trial was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The genetic diversity of 50 cotton genotypes was evaluated using multivariate analysis. The results revealed that genotypes were genetically different from each other for all characters under study. In the factor analysis, the first 5 factors from 14 factors showed eigen value >1 and contributed 72.13 % to the total variability among 50 genotypes. The first factor contributed 24.72% towards total variability which is the highest value by a single factor. The outcome of factor analysis suggested that CRS-456 (36.55%), VH-282 (6.8%), VH-235 (4.3%) and FH-113 contributed maximum to the variability in germplasm. In cluster analysis using K-mean clustering and Ward’s method, genotypes present in Cluster-II and cluster-III showed the greatest diversity for traits such as plant height, sympodial branches, bolls per plant, seeds per boll, seed cotton yield, lint index, and GOT%, genotypes from different groups could be selected for improvement in breeding for yield, quality, and other economic attributes in cotton crops. The genetic diversity, heritability, and moderate to high genetic advance suggest that the germplasm has potential for use in future breeding to produce high-yielding cotton varieties.

Pemanfaatan Acetobacter xylinum terhadap Peningkatan Kualitas Nata de Banana Skin (Utilization of Acetobacter xylinum to improve the quality of Nata de Banana Skin)
Authors: HARLIS Harlis , MURNI Pinta , MUSWITA Muswita
Published: July 2024

Banana (Musa sp.) is the most widely consumed fruits since the children age up to the elderly. This is because bananas have quite complete nutrient content such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals, making it beneficial for the human body. People normally only consume and discard any banana skin. Therefore; it needs solutions to deal with the banana peel waste. Banana peels contain high enough nutrients that are carbohydrate 18.5%, phosphorus 28 mg, water 72 g, and some other chemical substances. The high nutrient content on the banana peel is potential to be used as food, one of which is in the form of nata. Nata is a product of microbial fermentation using Acetobacter xylinum. Nata can be made from coconut water waste, liquid waste or waste bark out pineapple and banana peel waste (Nata de Banana Skin). This study aimed to determine the effect of various types of banana peels using A. xylinum on the quality of nata de banana skin. The results showed that different types of banana peel affect the quality of Nata de Banana Skin, both on its flavor and its yield of Nata de Banana Skin. The pisang raja skins give the most optimal results for nata thickness and also perform the best organoleptic values.

Published: July 2024

Tularemia is a bacterial disease of humans; wild and domestic animals. The causative agent of tularemia is Francisella tularensis; which is a gram-negative bacterium in the form of a coccobacillus. This disease has multiple clinical manifestations depending on the path of infection; the virulence of the infecting bacterial strain and the underlying health status of infected individuals. Systemic infections (for example; pulmonary and typhoid forms) and complications are rare; but can be life-threatening. Most people suffer from a local infection (for example; skin ulcers; conjunctivitis or pharyngitis) with regional lymphadenopathy; which develops to suppuration in about 30% of patients and a chronic course of infection. The disease is spread through vectors such as mosquitoes; horseflies; deer flies and ticks. People can become infected with this disease through direct contact with sick animals; eating infected animals; drinking or direct contact with contaminated water and inhaling aerosols containing bacteria. There are natural foci of tularemia on the territory of the Republic of Crimea; which; combined with low awareness of the population; creates prerequisites for the formation of an unfavorable epidemic situation on the peninsula. The purpose of this study is to study the features of the clinical course of tularemia. A retrospective analysis of the patient’s medical history with the final diagnosis was carried out: tularemia; glandular form; moderate severity. The following keywords were used to search for literary sources: “tularemia”; “natural foci of tularemia in the Crimea”. The eLibrary search engine was used to search for literature.ru — scientific electronic library”; the PubMed search engine was used to search for English-language literature.

Published: July 2024

A trigger mechanism plays a leading role in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic syndrome in COVID-19. On one hand; the development of heparin-induced coagulopathy is not excluded; on the other hand; the development of critical conditions is accompanied by the release of proinflammatory factors into the bloodstream. SARS-CoV-2 – associated endotheliopathy is considered as an additional link in the pathological process.

The aim of the study is to determine main risk factors and mechanisms of development of surgical hemorrhagic complications in COVID-19 patients on the basis of a comprehensive clinical; laboratory and instrumental examination; including pathomorphological and immunohistochemical studies.

The study included 115 patients with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding and 24 patients with spontaneous hemorrhages in soft tissues. It was found that with high reliability (p<0.05); the development of surgical hemorrhagic complications of COVID-19 correlated with an increase in INR; a decrease in PTI; the presence of COPD; as well as the development of gas syndrome and sepsis. An immunohistochemical study using monoclonal antibodies to CD31 and CD34 receptors expressed on the surface of the endothelium revealed an alteration of the endothelial monolayer; contributing to the occurrence of a hemorrhagic event.

Thus; it can be assumed that an increase in the frequency of gastrointestinal bleeding and spontaneous hemorrhages in soft tissues of various anatomical locations in COVID-19 patients may be associated with the direct cytopathic effect of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on endotheliocytes (destruction of the vascular wall due to degradation of the endothelial layer); which determines the formation of a single pathogenetic mechanism of development hemorrhages in COVID-19.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects millions of people with increasing global prevalence, morbidity and mortality. Inhaled medications are central to the management of COPD. Therefore, understanding the minimum Peak Inspiratory Flow (PIF) requirements for inhaler devices is vital for optimal drug delivery. This study assessed PIF in patients with COPD compared with controls and, the influence of age, sex and anthropometric measurements on PIF. Methodology: A total of 150 subjects (75 patients with stable COPD, and 75 controls) participated in the study. Demographic and anthropometric data were collected from the study participants. Peak inspiratory flow was assessed using the In-check peak flow meter. Lung function was assessed by spirometry. In all the statistical tests, a p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The control group had higher PIF than COPD group. All of the COPD patients had clinically effective PIF for Clickhaler, Diskus, Easibreathe, and pMDI. Majority of the COPD patients had clinically effective PIF for Turbohaler, and Autohaler. The mean PIF of male patients with COPD was significantly greater than that of females for Turbohaler. For the COPD group, there was a significant negative correlation between PIF and age for Diskus, Autohaler and Easibreathe. Significant positive correlation was also noted between PIF and weight for turbohaler, autohaler and easibreathe. Conclusion: Majority of COPD patients utilizing dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are able to generate effective PIF. Increasing age, female gender, low body weight and low BMI may contribute to low PIF.

Character education serves as a crucial solution to address the moral degradation among teenagers, prompting the Padang city government to implement the Didikan Subuh program aimed at reinforcing students' character. This research endeavors to analyze the implementation of Didikan Subuh activities, along with the supporting and inhibiting factors. Employing a qualitative research design, the study involved observation of the Didikan Subuh program across four locations, interviews with teachers, and documentation review, including the curriculum of Didikan Subuh. Data analysis was conducted based on Miles and Huberman's theory. The research revealed several key findings: firstly, the implementation of Didikan Subuh in Padang city varies across locations in terms of purpose, activity materials, and evaluation methods. Secondly, supporting factors include an adequate number of certified teachers, a relatively large student population, and sufficient infrastructure availability. However, inhibiting factors such as adverse weather conditions, conflicting events, and lack of discipline among guidance teachers pose challenges. Additionally, there is a shortage of creative and responsible guidance teachers, along with insufficient materials for Didikan Subuh activities. The study underscores that despite its challenges, the implementation of Didikan Subuh has the potential to strengthen character education among students.

¿Qué alternativas se ofrecen a los estudiantes que reprueban una asignatura más de dos veces? ¿Dónde estará el fallo, en el estudiante o en el maestro que utiliza los mismos esquemas de evaluación una y otra vez? Esta experiencia recoge una reflexión sobre el uso de un proceso alternativo (no tradicional) de evaluación del aprendizaje del alumnado en la educación superior. Dicho proceso, amparado en un modelo pedagógico basado en la complejidad, tiene como base el conocimiento personal del estudiante y la valoración de sus potencialidades personales frente al proceso de apropiación del conocimiento y su futuro desempeño como profesional. Se plantea como discusión dos alternativas a elegir por el maestro de educación superior: ignorar por completo la situación y dejar perder un proyecto de vida profesional o interesarse y proponer alternativas de evaluación que le permitan al estudiante finalmente, aprobar la asignatura.

Based on digital technology, the digital economy has typical characteristics of high efficiency, greenness, intelligence, innovation, strong penetration and so on, which can promote the sporting goods manufacturing industry (SGMI) to realize the goal of green development. This study selects panel data from 30 provinces in China over the period of 2011 to 2022. And the green total factor productivity of the sporting goods manufacturing industry (SGTFP) is used to reflect the green development of SGMI. The level of digital economy development (DIG) and the SGTFP are measured by using the entropy method and the Super-SBM model with undesirable outputs. Based on the method of coupling coordination degree model, the coordinated development degree of DIG and SGTFP is analyzed first. Then, by making use of the fixed effect model, intermediary effect model and spatial Durbin model, the influence of DIG on the green development of SGMI and its mechanism are empirically studied. The results show that DIG, SGTFP and the degree of their coupling and coordination are generally on the rise. The benchmark regression results show that the coefficient of DIG on SGTFP is 0.213; that is, the digital economy can significantly promote the improvement of green development in SGMI. According to the analysis of the spatial Durbin model, the impact of the digital economy on SGTFP has a certain spatial spillover, that is, the development of digital economy in the region will have a certain promoting effect on the green development of SGMI in the surrounding region. The intermediary effect model analyzes the influence mechanism and finds that the digital economy mainly boosts SGTFP through green innovation technology and energy consumption structure.

Authors: Nadimicairen
Published: July 2024

During the period of Kalmyk immigration into various European countries between the 1920s to the 1940s, Kalmyk intellectuals established organization and societies, such as Kalmyk Commission of Culture Workers in Czechoslovakia, Kalmyk National Organization “Khal’mak Tangachin Tuk”, and the Kalmyk National Committee. They also started periodicals such as Ulan Zalat (Улан Залат), Tsagan övsni dolgan (Цаган öвсни долган), Khal’mäg (Хальмәг) and Khonkho (Хонхо), etc. The periodicals were an effective means for Kalmyk intellectuals to express, disseminate, and advocate their ideas, ideologies, and political beliefs. Via these periodicals they were able to articulate their perspectives and contribute to the cultural and political landscape of their community. Today this Kalmyk material is to be found in European libraries and private collections, including Prof. Władysław Kotwicz’s notable collection in the Library of Mongolian and Tibetan Studies Programme at the Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw. The research in the field has recently started with brief discussions of the background and characteristics of some of the periodicals, but, unfortunately, inaccuracies are not avoided, the data on collections is not complete, and comprehensive bibliographies are lacking. Thus, to underline the value of the unique sources in question, as well as to provide a comprehensive introduction to Kalmyk émigré periodicals in Europe, the present paper focuses on Prof. Kotwicz’s collection and emphasizes the need for further research in the field.
BLKS and Single Black Female: Joy within the Margin
Authors: C-Dina Angelique Motunrayo
Published: July 2024

The joy of Black women and femmes in embodied theatrical practices in productions is a beautiful, euphoric experience that requires the curiosity and imagination of the Black women and femmes involved in these productions to expand their creativity, to tune into their joy, their erotic, which is personal, and uplift their stories of radical joy while resisting the oppressive natures of the margin. As the margin exists as an oppressive sphere where Black women and femmes find their collective solitude and resistance, radical joy and opportunities to invoke the personal phenomenological journey of the erotic are enacted. The Blks shows the journey of young Black women who are aware of the margin but choose joy. In this piece, I synthesize bell hooks' theory of the margin and Audre Lorde's theory of the erotic to investigate the joyous acts of being young, gifted, and Black in the world of Aziza Barnes' BLKS and Lisa B. Thompson's Single Black Female.

Published: July 2024

Subject and purpose of work

The aim of the research was to identify and assess the professional problems of women who hold managerial positions. In addition, factors influencing the female style of management were identified and the level of discrimination against women as well as the level of gender equality in Poland and in the European Union was assessed, using the gender equality index.

Material and methods

Secondary data from the European Institute for Gender Equality were used. The opinion of women was found out on the basis of the survey research.

Results

Based on the data collected from the European Institute for Gender Equality, it was found that Poland is close to achieving gender equality in management – 43% of all management positions in Poland were held by women. However, the respondents had a different opinion on this subject. Less than 17% of the respondents stated that men and women are treated the same.

Conclusions

Such a result may be influenced by the existing phenomenon of discrimination, differences in remuneration despite performing the same functions, burdening women with raising children and the existing stereotypes that men perform better in managerial positions, women are less courageous, and men are more available. Therefore, steps should be taken to provide real support for women in the development of their careers, promote gender equality and counteract discrimination.

Published: July 2024

Comparing endoscopic and traditional septoplasty in terms of operating time, functional efficacy, and perioperative morbidity was the goal of this study. Using the PubMed database, Google, and Google Scholar, a systematic assessment of the scientific literature was conducted. Randomized prospective trials comparing endoscopic and traditional septoplasty were sought after. Operating time was the major goal, while the secondary endpoints were hospital stay, functional outcome, intra- and postoperative complications, and postoperative discomfort. The comparison of endoscopic and traditional septoplasty was conducted in twenty-nine studies published between 1991 and 2012, five of which were prospective randomized trials. With endoscopic surgery, there was less mucosal damage (p < 0.01), less synechia (p < 0.01), less residual deformity (p < 0.05), and less pain following surgery. The operating duration was also shorter (p < 0.001). Thus, endoscopic septoplasty resulted in a shorter surgical duration and fewer postoperative problems; nonetheless, the functional outcome remained identical to that of conventional septoplasty.

Plant defense mechanism in combined stresses - cellular and molecular perspective
Authors: Rafique Suphia , Quadri Syed Naved , Abdin M. Z.
Published: July 2024

The various abiotic stresses negatively influence the growth and development of plants. However, recent predictions of global climate change models have amplified the chances that plants will encounter new and more combinations of abiotic and biotic stresses. The plants adopt different strategies in combined stresses as compared to a single stress. This stress combination can be antagonist or synergistic depending on the interaction of stresses. Plants are sessile, to resists these stresses they activate defense mechanism which are complex cellular and molecular responses under combined stress conditions. At the cellular level, various kinds of biomolecules are produced that have positive and negative effects against stresses. The basic cellular process generates more reactive oxygen species (ROS) in stress conditions and causes extensive damage and inhibition of photosynthesis. Various plant hormones are involved in cellular activations to adapt the plants under stressful conditions. Further, to overcome the adverse effects of stress, the plant activates several molecular cascade mechanisms involving kinases, transcription factors, micro-RNAs, heat shock proteins, epigenetic changes. Besides, plants developed a robust signal perception and transduction mechanism to cope effectively with unfavorable conditions. Phytohormone plays a crucial role in signaling that is activated in response to combined stress conditions and in individual stress which are activated in response to abiotic and biotic stress combinations. Besides, ROS is also involved in signaling. They control a broad range of biological processes and have a conserved signaling network. Therefore, the crosstalk between different signaling pathways activates defense mechanisms and helps in the survival of plants from the various combined abiotic and biotic stress conditions.
