A Study on Ethnomedical and Health Practices among the Malayali Tribes of Tamil Nadu
Authors: Jaiswal Ajeet
Published: February 2023

Disease and ill health have become significant focuses of human beings since immemorial. Health and sickness are biological concepts. But traits like beliefs, religion, philosophy, education, socio-economic conditions etc. also assess how people feel about health and sickness. This study aimed to study the health and ethnomedical practices among the Malayali Tribes of Tamil Nadu. The research involved a general household survey of 113 houses and covered 534 individuals of various age groups of Malayali tribal communities in India’s Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu. The present’s primary stress was finding how reality is socially constructed and using participant observation to understand people’s emic perspectives. Unstructured interviews with open general questions were conducted to go into greater depth of data. The present study’s findings discussed the health and wellbeing among Indigenous people, the health and illness of the Malayalis Tribe, their health-seeking behaviour, and the various indigenous medicines practised by the Malayali tribe for various illnesses and diseases. Malayalis well understand the concept of health. They link it with the economic condition, nutrition, food habits, work pressure, etc. They also relate it to biological needs. They also differentiate between illness and disease. Their ways of identification of diseases are appreciable. But there is a straight decline in their ethnomedical practices with the emergence of state initiatives, various plans, and schemes.
We Only Need the Holy Signs, the Saints are Here Just to Make People Feel at Home

Published: February 2023

This paper on an Umbanda worship space is part of a research with the religions of African and Amerindian matrix, conducted in the years 2015-16 at the request of the 67th Prosecutor’s Office for Human Rights of the State Public Prosecution Service of Mato Grosso do Sul and the Federation of Afro-Brazilian and Amerindian Cults of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. As requested, several worship spaces were visited and 2 Fathers-of-Saint, 2 Mothers-of-Saint and 1 Babalorishá were interviewed, with the purpose of demonstrating to the municipal authorities that worship space cults should be considered religions, just like the others present in the municipality. Specifically, this paper analyzes the process of re-signification of Catholic saints in Umbanda as part of the hybridization and syncretism of worship space cults. The methodology consisted of visits to several worship spaces, interviews, and specifically in this case, we will analyze this process of re-signification based on the interview with Mother-of-Saint Fátima, coordinator of the Cabocla Janaína Worship Place in Campo Grande. Her speech has shown that the meanings of the Catholic saints in Umbanda, may be to make familiar a religion considered exotic, or even to syncretize the attributes and roles of the saints and orishas.
The Predictors Influencing the Mothers Health Beliefs and Intentions Towards the Determination of their Daughter to be Vaccinated with the Human Papillomavirus Vaccine in the Indigenous Communities, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Authors: Jayasvasti Isareethika
Published: February 2023

Since the integration of the HPV vaccine in the National Immunization Programme in 2017, little is known regarding Vincentian mothers’ health beliefs, attitudes and intentions. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection can cause cervical cancer however, this can be prevented with the HPV vaccine which is given to girls in grade 6. The study aimed to evaluate mother’s health beliefs, attitudes and intentions towards HPV vaccine administration to their daughter and factors involved with these intentions in Indigenous Communities in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. An online-based community cross-sectional survey was conducted in the six main villages in the Indigenous Community from April to May 2020. The structured and pilot-tested questionnaire was distributed to 342 mothers who had a daughter age 7-11 years old who were not vaccinated with the HPV vaccine and the youngest daughter if the mother has more than one daughter in the age group. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis to investigate factors associated with mothers’ intention. For health beliefs and attitudes, descriptive analysis was performed. Majority of the respondent had positive attitudes towards the HPV vaccine and for health beliefs there was a high susceptibility, severity and benefit towards HPV and the HPV vaccine among the mothers included there was a high (95.6%) maternal intention for their daughter to received the HPV vaccine, with 9 out of every 10 mothers agreeing to have their daughter be vaccinated in the future. The factors influencing the intention of vaccinating were the source of information-health professionals (AOR= 10.14, 95% CI= 2.88-35.60), high health beliefs (AOR= 3.35, 95% CI= 1.03-12.20), knowing women with cervical cancer (AOR= 5.05, 95% CI= 1.50-16.95), education- primary and secondary (AOR= 4.62, 95% CI= 1.31-16.24) and ethnicity- Indigenous (AOR= 4.13, 95% CI= 1.02-16.69), employed mothers (AOR=2.32, 95% CI =1.36- 3.96), and high level of knowledge towards HPV and HPV vaccine (AOR=2.27, 95% CI =1.25- 4.13), employed mothers (AOR=2.32, 95% CI =1.36- 3.96) were significantly associated with mothers’ health belief towards HPV vaccination (p-value<0.01). Health professionals are an important source of HPV and HPV vaccine, therefore, they must be knowledgeable with updated information to promote the HPV vaccination using a multifaceted and culturally sensitive approach among key populations to improve uptake. There will be the need for intervention to increase awareness and health education about HPV and the HPV vaccine by health professionals.

Authors: Yoshikura Hiroshi
Published: February 2023

Covid-19 epidemic started towards the end of 2019. In the initial phase of the epidemic, the number of SARS-COV-2 patients per population was 100-fold higher in Europe than in Western Pacific. In Europe, the number of SARS-COV-2 patients per population remained continuously high, while, in Western Pacific, it increased from the lower level to higher level wave by wave. As of July 2022, the epidemic level of Western Pacific was still 10-fold lower than that of Europe. Probably the epidemic pattern different in Western Pacific and in Europe was still influenced by prevalence of α-1 anti-trypsin deficiency which is high in Europe but low in Western Pacific.
Regional Method for Israel COVID-19 Forecast

Published: February 2023

Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease having high transmissibility to spread worldwide along with low morbidity and mortality, presenting certain burden on worldwide public health. Due to non-stationarity and complicated nature of epidemic waves, it is challenging to accurately model such phenomenon. Traditional statistical methods dealing with spatio-temporal observations of multi-observational processes do not have an advantage of dealing with extensive observational dimensionality and cross-correlation between different local observations. This study has chosen COVID-19 daily numbers of recorded new and dead patients in Israel.
Specific VOC-Profile of Decomposed Sasquatch Remains
Authors: Spizzer Islam
Published: February 2023

A method using a thermal desorber combined with a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer was proposed to identify the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released in decomposed Sasquatch remains. It is known that specific VOCs are generated during the decomposition of Sasquatch and animal corpses that allow us to determine to which species the remains correspond, and the time elapsed since their dead. We found a combination of 8 compounds (ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, propyl butyrate, ethyl pentanoate, pyridine, diethyl disulfide, methyl (methylthio) ethyl disulfide and 3-methylthio1-propanol) that led to the distinction of Sasquatch remains from another animal remains. These markers would allow a more efficiently training of cadaver dogs or portable detection devices could be developed.
An Analysis of the Economic Value of Substances of Abuse Seized in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Ahmadi Tareq Al
Published: February 2023

Introduction: As one of the largest oil exporters in the world, Saudi Arabia carries 18.1% of the global oil reserves and the fifth largest natural gas reserves. This unrefined wealth, in addition to numerous other natural resources, makes Saudi Arabia a logical destination for drug smugglers and dealers aiming to make fast illegal profits. Based on recent statistics, this article focused on the economic value of drugs of abuse seized in Saudi Arabia during the period between 2009-2012. Methods: Four years of data (2009–2012) related to the economic value of drugs of abuse seized in Saudi Arabia were analyzed. This data was obtained by Saudi Customs and other governmental entities responsible for the monitoring of drug smuggling. Results: The recent financial boom coupled with the numerous nationalities and cultures present in Saudi Arabia has led to an associated increase in the smuggling and promotion of narcotics, accompanied by illegal monetary gain, with consequent detrimental effects on the Saudi economy. This is evident by the Saudi Arabian market value statistics during the years from 2009–2012. Conclusion: Statistically, smuggling and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia has increased, particularly regarding amphetamines, cannabis, and khat. Economic, security, and social programs aimed at raising youth awareness of the dangers of substance abuse should be implemented to address this ongoing problem.

Authors: Gurieva Svetlana
Published: February 2023

The results of a study aimed at finding a relationship between manifestations of gender inequality and the resources available for development in the workplace and with women’s career success are described. А socio-psychological model of success factors of working women was developed, which includes both organizational context and personal career resources. The study was conducted in two stages in 2020-2021 using an online survey. The sample consisted of women working in organizations in various fields. At the first stage, the relationship between particular constructs of the model was tested; at the second stage, the theoretical-empirical model and its alternatives were tested by the structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of the study confirm the relationship of women’s career success with the availability of organization resources, with the possibility of implementing networking behavior and the perceptions of organizational politics, the negative relationship with structural and normative gender inequality is less pronounced. The results of testing the socio-psychological model and alternatives using the structural equation modeling method show that gender inequality has a negative effect on a woman’s career success, but the main contribution to the limitation of a woman’s career resources and a decrease in career success is made by nontransparent organizational politics.

Poe’s Myth of Self: A Structural Barthesian Reading on “The Black Cat” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”
Authors: Khadafi Bima Iqbal
Published: February 2023

This research analyzes how the narrative structure of Poe’s tales, namely “The Black Cat” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” can be imposed with a certain idea about Self or the nature of human subjectivity. Poe’s tales illustrate that human subjectivity consists of two contrasting tendencies for destructiveness/imagination and reflection/cognition. They also show that the Self is always in tension with the Other. To counter this tension, Poe’s tales suggest that the Self should take a moment to reflect upon its subjectivity and let the Other reveal its alterity before interacting with it so that a more harmonious, or at least less problematic, relationship between the two can be established. Reading the selected stories using the Barthesian perspective, this paper sees this imposition as an act of myth-making which in itself is always ideological since there is a certain political and/or economic agenda driving it. Hence, the myth of Self in Poe’s tales needs to be demystified, a process through which Poe’s idea of Self is unmasked as his cries for those in power to take a moment of reflection about the mess they had put into the 1840s United States political-economic condition. This result implies that myths are not always constructed by the ruling class to justify its domination, but can also be written by the oppressed group to voice its concern. In this way, this paper subscribes to the Foucauldian notion of power.
Teknologi dan Dominasi atas Alam Kritik Paus Fransiskus dan Heidegger terhadap Paradigma Teknokratis atas Alam
Authors:   Fakultas Teologi Universitas Sanata Dharma, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Suroso Yulius
Published: February 2023

What Pope Francis said about environment crisis, then confirms what Heidegger had long thought. The paradigm, which Heidegger calls “framing” (gestell), then penetrates the world of politico-economy, so that the economy accepts any technological advances that bring benefits, regardless of the possible negative impact on humans and other creatures. In a profit mindset, there is no room for thinking about natural rhythms, phases of withering and regeneration, or about the complexity of ecosystems. Nature is only thought as an economic resource. To overcome this, humans need to be educated. Humans need to be aware that humans exist in a reciprocal relationship with nature. Human existence is not a separate thing from nature but exists in the same ecosystem. Furthermore, humans need to realize that participatory action to pay attention to nature is fundamentally compatible with cultivating a relationship with God. Panentheism encourages humans to respect creation, because in creation, God is not only present, but also continues to work in it.
MEMBERI KESAKSIAN TENTANG KEBENARAN DI TENGAH BUDAYA FEAR OF MISSING OUT: REFLEKSI TEOLOGIS YOH 18:28-40
Authors:   STFT Widya Sasana, Malang, Indonesia, Sumaryanto, Thomas Onggo
Published: February 2023

This paper is a theological reflection of John 18:28-40. This theological reflection is used as a basic principle of living in the midst of the digital era, especially to fight the culture of fear of missing out (FOMO). This passage is part of the story of the passion of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of John, the story of Jesus before Pilate is dominated by Jesus’ dialogue with Pilate. In this dialogue, Jesus is shown as the King who proclaims the truth but Pilate rejects this testimony of Jesus. With a strong element of drama in the Gospel of John, the readers of the Gospel will be invited to believe that truth is God’s revelation that requires human participatory communication. The theological reflection that I want to emphasize is that dialogue with Jesus leads people to the depths to understand the mystery of God. But people who are caught up in FOMO have a shallow view of life. People who experience FOMO actually experience isolation and loneliness and then look for shortcuts. Deep dialogue with Jesus is necessary to gain spiritual strength to face isolation and loneliness in life.
Vzpoura proti „globalizovanému liberalismu„? Úvodem k Drulákově kritice „západního monoteismu„ [A revolt against „globalised liberalism“? An Introduction to Drulák’s Critique of „Western Monotheism“]
Authors: Naxera Vladimír , Bláha Petr
Published: February 2023

When we talk about Czech political thought, we almost exclusively reflect the tradition of Western political philosophy, which has been a key source of inspiration for many years. In his new book, Petr Drulák opens up a completely new perspective and seeks new inspiration in the Eastern tradition of thought. He offers starting points for it that are not burdened by the globalised liberalism and monotheism typical of the West. These are the biggest targets of Drulák’s critique and the need to formulate a new direction in political thought. Such a fundamental attempt could not remain without a response from the relevant authors of Czech social sciences. The paper provides the basic framework for the polemic over Drulák’s book, which was attended by experts in the field of international relations, political philosophy or political science.

Published: February 2023

Inceptisols are soils that have problems with fertility. Inorganic P fertilizer is a quick choice to restore nutrient availability for plants, but long-term use may harm soil and plants. Another alternative to this problem by using a biofertilizer. Biofertilizer contains microbes that can promote plant growth by increasing the supply of nutrients through their biological activities in the soil. Some microbes are known to have to dissolve phosphate ability through secretion of organic acids and enzymes mechanism. This experiment was conducted to examine the effect of hydrogel-based biofertilizer combined with inorganic P fertilizer (SP-36) on the growth and maize yields on Inceptisols Jatinangor. The biofertilizers were a consortium of phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) consisting of Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas mallei, Burkholderia cepacia, and Trichoderma asperellum. The pot experiment using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted of 9 treatments with 3 replications. The treatments consisted of control, recommended dose of inorganic P fertilizer (100 kg Ha-1), biofertilizer dose of 50 kg Ha-1, and a combination of biofertilizer and inorganic P fertilizer. The results showed that the combination of ½ dose of hydrogel-based biofertilizer and ¾ dose of P fertilizer increased maize yield. In addition, the application of biofertilizer can reduce inorganic P fertilizer needs up to ¾ recommended dose.

Rice is an important commodity in Indonesia because rice is the main source of carbohydrates for the Indonesian. Rice production in Indonesia relies on lowland rice, but the productivity of lowland rice is decreasing. One of the efforts to increase rice national production is utilizing upland rice plants. The problem with upland rice is its low productivity. Nitrogen-fixing biological fertilizers can be used to increase the productivity of upland rice plants. The effect of different doses of nitrogen fertilizer and nitrogen fixing bacteria with different carrier materials on the growth and yield of upland rice in Inceptisols Jatinangor was studied. Randomized block design with two factors: the recommended dose of urea fertilizer (100% and 50%) and the nitrogen-fixing bacteria factor with different carriers (compost, rice bran, and Azolla powder) were applied as an experimental design. The experimental results showed that the interaction of nitrogen fertilizer dose and nitrogen-fixing bacteria with different carriers had no significant effect on plant height, number of panicles, root shoot ratio, and weight of 1000 grains of upland rice plants. Application of nitrogen-fixing bacteria with compost, bran, and Azolla powder as carriers was able to increase the average weight of the filled grain higher than the control.

The low productivity of cucumber plants in Indonesia can be caused by several factors, one of which is fertilization. Fertilization on Inceptisol soil which has a low nitrogen content is needed to increase cucumber crop yields. The use of inorganic fertilizers is limited to avoid environmental pollution, so the use of biofertilizers can be an environmentally friendly option. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of concentration and interval application of azolla extract based biofertilizer on the total soil N, plant N content, Azotobacter population and cucumber yield. The experiment was carried out from August to November 2021 at the Ciparanje Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University. This experiment used a Completely Randomized Block Design of a combination concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 mL.L-1) and time of application (1, 2, 3 times). The results showed that the application of azolla extract based biofertilizer with different concentrations and application times had a significant effect on the azotobacter population but had no significant effect on soil nitrogen levels, plant nitrogen concentrations, and cucumber yields. The addition of 20 mL/L 2 times application of azolla-based biofertilizer increased cucumber fruit weight by 35.97% compared to control but did not cause a significant increase in yield

Golden snail (Pomacea canaliculata L.) one of a keypests in rice cultivation in Indonesia. There are three species of golden snails in Indonesia, these are P.canaliculata L., P. insularum D., and P. paludosa S. The purpose of this research was to determine the population density and distribution pattern of golden snails (P. canaliculata) at Jatinangor rice fields. The research was conducted from June 2020 to August 2020 with purposive sampling method on 24 rice fields in 12 villages, specifically Hegarmanah, Cibeusi, Cikeruh, Cipacing, Sayang, Cileles, Cilayung, Cisempur, Cintamulya, Jatimukti, Mekargalih, and Jatiroke in Jatinangor, Sumedang and golden snails identification was conducted at the laboratory. The sample was taken by using purposive sampling method. Each rice fields used as a sampling location has a size 10 m x 5 m with 2 rice fields were determined for sampling in each village. Therefore, total research location was 24 rice fields. Two lands were taken from one village with a distance of ± 1 km between the fields. This is done to get a comparison of environmental conditions. The results showed that the density of snails in the rice fields of Jatinangor was categorized rare with an average density of 3.33 individuals/m². The difference in the density of snails in each area in Jatinangor was caused by differences in the age/phase of rice plants and control techniques. Furthermore, distribution pattern of the golden snail at the rice fields of Jatinangor has a clumped pattern for all locations

Authors: Vera Assaoka Tiago , Castro Ceacero Diego
Published: February 2023

La formación inicial docente por competencias representa un enfoque formativo que las universidades chilenas han establecido para estructurar el marco curricular de sus titulaciones. Este enfoque presenta un diseño no disciplinar y, por tanto, más orientado al desempeño profesional. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el nivel de desarrollo percibido de tres competencias específicas (la competencia de corporeidad, la planificación y el uso de la tecnología) durante el Prácticum de la formación universitaria inicial de la carrera de educación física por parte de los tutores universitarios, tutores de centro y los estudiantes en una universidad chilena el año 2020. En un estudio de caso y mediante la administración de un cuestionario, los resultados muestran niveles sensibles de desarrollo en las tres competencias analizadas, aunque se desarrollan de forma diferente según la tipología del Prácticum. Se ratifica que el Prácticum es determinante para el desarrollo de competencias según sus protagonistas.
Caracterización y análisis de la experiencia de estudiantes de Educación Física en Estadística Aplicada a la Educación Física (2017-2020)
Authors: Fornessi Román
Published: February 2023

Este artículo indaga sobre la experiencia de estudiantes de Educación Física con la materia Estadística Aplicada a la Educación Física. Para ello se toman elementos de estudios que han abordado actitudes, representaciones, y aspectos afectivos de sujetos que se forman en disciplinas de las humanidades y las ciencias sociales hacia la estadística. Para el análisis se propone un entrecruzamiento entre las dimensiones conductual, actitudinal y emocional para abordar emergentes del campo en su complejidad. El trabajo de campo consistió en la aplicación de entrevistas semi estructuradas a estudiantes de Estadística Aplicada a la Educación Física durante los años 2017 a 2020. También se utilizaron como insumos registros informales que el docente apuntó a lo largo de las cursadas sobre manifestaciones verbales y no verbales de los/as estudiantes ante la situación de resolución de ejercicios y de apropiación de contenidos. Los resultados muestran cierta aprensión que los/as estudiante dirigen hacia la materia basada en discursos circulantes en la comunidad de estudiantes de Educación Física, anclados principalmente en la falta de apropiación de operaciones matemáticas necesarias para el abordaje de los temas que la materia propone. Sin embargo, también se identifican experiencias satisfactorias ante la apropiación de contenidos, relacionada no solo con el aprendizaje efectivo de la asignatura sino también porque esta, al ser percibida como una materia compleja para quienes se forman en humanidades y ciencias sociales, jerarquiza al estudiante de Educación Física en tanto cursa una materia “difícil”.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar os conhecimentos dos/as alunos/as sobre as PCA. O estudo se caracteriza de natureza quali-quantitavo do tipo descritiva exploratória. A amostra foi composta por 62 alunos/as de uma Escola de Ensino Médio do 1º ao 3ºano de Cascavel/CE. Foi elaborado um questionário semiestruturado no GoogleDocs com 3 questões subjetivas e 2 objetivas. Tivemos como resultados da pesquisa, o paraquedismo como a modalidade mais citada pelos alunos, em seguida, o surfe e skate. Foram relatadas também, pelos alunos que essas práticas se repetiram tanto no Ensino Fundamental como no Ensino Médio. Concluímos que o PCA ainda é pouco tematizado nas aulas de Educação Física. Isso demonstra a necessidade de ampliação dos debates e discussões à respeito da PCA. Torna-se muito importante refletir sobre as PCA no seu contexto pedagógico para que esses dilemas possam ser superados e assim seja possível uma maior implementação didático-pedagógica do/a professor/a.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can improve the host’s health when given in sufficient doses. Due to growing consumer demand for poultry raised without antibiotics supplementation, the usage of probiotics has been rising gradually over time in poultry. This review aimed to summarize the impacts of probiotics on poultry’s nutrient utilization, growth and carcass parameters, gut morphology, laying performance, biochemical parameters, immunity, and gut microbiota. The results revealed that probiotics enhanced the growth performance via improving digestion of protein, lipids, and carbohydrates, improving feed conversion ratio (FCR), increasing carcass and organs weights, improved liver and kidney function parameters, antioxidant effects, decreased serum lipids and cholesterol, improved poultry immunity via improving gut health and synthesis of antimicrobial peptides and prevention of microbial colonization, improved laying performance, fertility, hatchability and eggshell thickness. Therefore, probiotics have various benefits in poultry production compared to banned antibiotics. However, they are not always guaranteed to be growth promoters due to poorly understood modes of action, including their interaction with the host. So, further studies concerning their impacts on meat quality and histopathological changes are still required.

The use of most antibiotics has been restricted and banned in finfish and shrimp farms due to several reasons comprising their long-lasting persistence in aquatic environments, relatively high prices, and their ability to promote the existence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Hence, finding economical, natural, and environmentally safe alternatives is of great importance. The use of polyphenols, polyphenol-rich plants, and plant-derived phenolic compounds for promoting aquatic animal health and welfare could be from the effective strategies for developing aquafeed and maintaining the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. Several plants are gorgeous in various bioactive functional ingredients known as phytochemicals and polyphenols. Phenolic compounds could be successfully used as natural immunostimulants in order to raise the immunity of finfish and shrimp species against several bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections and thus may replace the use of antimicrobial agents. Besides their potential roles for improvement of the growth performance, intestinal health, and enhancing the antioxidant capacity of the treated animals. Even though the trend of using plant-derived phenolic compounds is a new and leading era for the improvement of the functionality of aquafeed and the development of the aquaculture industry, there are fundamental needs and necessities to describe a clear understanding of their modes of action and potential roles in the improvement of the production rates, antioxidant activity, immune status, and disease resistance of farmed fish and shrimp.
