Moving Water
Authors: Stern Stephanie , Tarlock A. Dan
Published: April 2024

Climate change-induced megadrought and rapid urbanization are forcing western agriculture into retreat as water supplies diminish and heat and drought ravage crops and livestock. At the same time, the megadrought is imposing deep ecological harm on riparian areas, fish species, and soil and increasing the concentration of pollutants in dwindling waterways. These developments raise the question of how to use the water rights left behind as western irrigated agriculture in-evitably shrinks. We argue that federal purchase of some of these rights could create a pool of water available for instream flows (also termed environmental flows) to preserve waterways and aquatic eco-systems. We propose that the federal government acquire some west-ern water rights from agricultural holders, just as it has acquired homes in residential “managed retreat” programs, and dedicate those rights to instream flows. This proposal is novel in agricultural policy, which has stubbornly subsidized agriculture in place, and in the schol-arship on government managed retreat from climate change, which has focused on retreating people and land, not rights in natural re-sources. Federal government managed retreat of western water rights reasserts a federal role in western water allocation, a feature we con-tend accords with current needs as well as history. The allocation of western water and the system of state and private water ownership are largely the result of the post-Civil War response to illegal gold and silver mining thought necessary to encourage western settlement. These policies no longer respond to the modern urbanized West and its present environmental challenges. Drought retreat presents an oppor-tunity for the federal government to move toward a more balanced al-location of western water and create durable environmental benefits.
Teaching Metacognitive Strategies in Reading through CALLA to Non-English Major Students in a Vietnamese University
Authors: Huynh Hau Thi
Published: April 2024

Since the 1990s, several studies on teaching metacognitive methods to improve reading comprehension have been undertaken worldwide. However, learners’ views regarding using a specific model of metacognitive strategy instruction in reading, which adds to the success of teaching metacognitive methods, have not yet received much attention, particularly in Vietnam. This research is an attempt to fill that gap. This study investigates the learners’ attitudes towards training metacognitive strategies through the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA) model in reading. To achieve this aim, the author carried out a mixed-methods design study on 52 non-English-majored participants at a university in Vietnam. The research tools involve an attitudinal questionnaire and group interviews. The findings of this study reveal that the employment of the CALLA model in teaching metacognitive strategies received neutral to positive attitudes from most students. However, the instruction itself exposed some shortcomings that must be addressed. In addition, some statistical differences were found in the cognition of high and low language proficiency groups. Based on the findings, some specific recommendations have been made for teachers and learners in teaching metacognitive strategies.

Digital Campaign Dysfunction in Indonesian Regional Election During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Prasetyo Kuncoro Bayu , Rahardjo Turnomo , Sardini Nur Hidayat
Published: April 2024

The 2020 Simultaneous Regional Elections in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic caused digital campaigns to become the most viable alternative amidst health protocol restrictions. Preliminary data shows that the use of digital for political campaigns was not optimal. The readiness of candidates and voters to enter the digital campaign era is interesting for further analysis. This article aims to understand the campaign practices of candidates in the digital space during the pandemic, as well as analyze the readiness of candidates and voters in the digital campaign. Qualitative case study research was conducted using a holistic multi-case design in three regions in Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out by observing candidates' social media, as well as interviews with campaigners. The research results show that the digital campaign was a "forced" situation, not a creative idea of the candidates. The digital space has yet to become an effective public sphere for discussing candidate ideas and programs with voters. The lack of public engagement with campaigns in the digital space shows that a digital political habitus has yet to be formed in society. As a result, digital campaign dysfunction occurs when candidates and voters are not well connected in effective political communication, even though both are in the digital space.

Authors: Surya Pramana I Kadek Adi , Premana Kadek Yoga
Published: April 2024

Background: The causes of femur fractures are diverse and can be influenced by several factors. These bone fractures often occur due to high-impact trauma, such as car accidents, sports injuries, or other traumatic events that result in excessive stress on the bone. Another contributing factor is bone energy or strength reduction, which is frequently observed in the elderly population.
Methods: This study is retrospective descriptive research with cross-sectional data collection. Data were obtained from the medical records of patients diagnosed with femur fractures who received treatment at RSUD Sanjiwani Gianyar in 2023.
Results: The majority of patients experienced injuries due to falls (68.2%). Based on age, the study noted that 29.5% of patients were between 18 and 40 years old, 25% were between 40 and 65 years old, and 45.5% were over 65 years old. Most patients were female (72.7%), and the majority of patients had closed fractures (93.2%), while only a small percentage had open fractures (6.8%). Based on this data, the majority of fractures occurred in the proximal one-third of the femur bone (56.8%), followed by the medial one-third (20.5%) and the distal one-third (22.7%).
Conclusion: There is a variation in patient age, with the majority being over 65 years old. Furthermore, most patients are female, with the majority experiencing closed fractures, and the most common location for fractures is the proximal one-third of the femur bone. These findings provide a general overview of the characteristics of this study's patient population with femur fractures.

Radiological Differences Following Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) Compared to the Contralateral Side and Its Correlation with Harris Hip Score (HHS) in Intertrochanteric Femoral Fracture After Three Months
Authors: Suarjaya Agus , Kawiyana I Ketut Siki , Aryana Wien
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The incidence of intertrochanteric femoral fractures, which account for 50% of all hip fractures, is increasing as a result of the aging population. While PFNA surgery typically enhances outcomes, certain individuals continue to have pain, stiffness, and difficulties with their gait. This study aims to determine whether there is a correlation between post-surgical complications and changes in hip joint angles assessed three months following PFNA to lead future advances in PFNA surgery for older persons by comparing impacted and unaffected hips and correlating angles with patients' hip ratings.
Methods: This study included 42 individuals who underwent surgery for intertrochanteric fractures aged 50 and above. Eligible participants must possess the ability to walk before to the study, have no history of previous leg fractures, and be capable of participating in rehabilitation. Individuals having comorbidities impacting these aspects or those unable to partake were not included.
Result : This study looked at hip angles in 42 people who had surgery intertrochanteric fracture. While the participants varied in age and gender, the surgery itself didn't seem to significantly change the angles of their hip bones or their ability to walk. This suggests that PFNA may not directly affect hip mechanics on its own.
Conclusion: This study indicates that attaining acceptable hip angles during the procedure could enhance patients' mobility and post-operative condition. Further investigation involving bigger cohorts and extended periods of observation is necessary to validate these findings and ascertain whether modifying these angles during surgery will result in improved outcomes following PFNA.

Authors: Singh Richa , Srivastava Shivani
Published: April 2024

Objective: India is currently in early phases of using School-based Nutrition Interventions (SNIs) as a strategy to address Childhood Obesity. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SNIs conducted in India, analyse the use of established recommendations for successful SNIs, and identify the minimally used recommendations which may have more impactful results.
Material and Methods: Extensive literature search for SNIs was done using pre-established inclusion criteria through online databases. Eleven recommendations for effective SNIs were also compiled by literature search. The effectiveness of the included SNIs was evaluated as per their significant results. The application of recommendations was then analysed and minimally used recommendations were identified.
Results: None of the SNIs had a significant effect on Body Mass Index. Other outcomes like waist circumference and physical activity were improved. Only four of the eleven recommendations were highly employed by more than 70% of interventions. Rest were minimally used (avg.<35%).
Conclusion: There are currently very few recommendations being used to influence the health behaviors of Indian children. More interventions need to be planned, using these underutilized efficient strategies.

Authors: Olukole E. O. , Fuludu F. A.
Published: April 2024

Nigeria witnesses a prevalent inclination towards the use of easily accessible over-prescribed drugs and topical corticosteroids are no different. This study explores the misuse of topical corticosteroids, particularly focusing on the widespread use of triple action creams (TACs) (which combine antibiotics, antifungals, and topical corticosteroids) in addressing hyperpigmentation and acne. This study was conducted to examine the misuse of TACs and adverse effects experienced by the study population and highlight the association between motivations of use, demographics and respondents profile. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in 2 pharmacies from March 2023 to January 2024 amongst 326 individuals using triple-action creams for skin conditions. Data collection included administering questionnaires and conducting physical skin analyses. Chi-squared and Fisher tests were used for data interpretation. Among 326 subjects, the female population (81.9%) was found to abuse TACs the most, and (84.4.%) of the study population was aged between 21-30 years. Betamethasone dipropionate (56.8%) was the most commonly employed steroid used for treating acne (41.7%) and hyperpigmentation (17.5%). Side effects from prolonged use included sensitivity (63.2%), macular hyperpigmentation (37.1%), erythema (29.8%), and steroid-induced acne (21.5%). In conclusion, This study provides recent insights into the population segments most affected by the misuse of triple-action creams along with current treatment practices and preferences for the treatment of acne and hyperpigmentation within the study population. These findings concerning the adverse effects experienced by the study population underscore the need for regulatory measures regarding the marketing and prescription of topical corticosteroids.

NUMERICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TSCHOEGL–CHANG–BLOCH NONLINEAR VISCOELASTIC CONSTITUTIVE LAW FOR UNVULCANIZED CARBON BLACK–FILLED RUBBERS
Authors: Assaad Mahmoud C.
Published: April 2024

Rubber engineering design analysis requires a fundamental understanding of the mechanical behavior of polymers, especially in their unvulcanized state. It necessitates the establishment of a three-dimensional constitutive material to account for the observed mechanical behavior. This law is required to produce realistic descriptions of the viscoelastic performance in a mathematically simple form that is easy to implement in engineering applications. This article describes the theory of the Tschoegl–Chang–Bloch time-dependent nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive law. The experimental verification of this law is provided under different deformation fields and multiple load steps. Laboratory test procedures to obtain the parameters required to describe the material under consideration are provided in detail. A recursive form of the constitutive law, suitable for finite element application, is derived and coded in the finite element commercial code Abaqus via the user subroutine UMAT. Comparisons between the experimental observations, the theoretical results, and the numerical data are drawn for simple test models examined under creep or shear relaxation conditions. The excellent agreements observed indicate the suitability of the governing law in analyzing viscoelastic problems of unvulcanized carbon black–filled rubbers.

Meanwhile, academic productivity is related to works that are made independently in the form of innovative works or finished goods. The concoction found is a display of behavior based on scientific values and independence in academic production.
Citizenship Education in Nigeria as an Alternative to National Unity
Authors: OSSAI Anthony Great
Published: April 2024

Nigeria, as a multicultural society, is confronted with issues of ethnicity, insecurity, corruption, political crises, ethnoreligious dichotomies, weak institutions, and poor governance, which result in a lack of trust among its citizens. As a result, many Nigerians advocate secession, while others advocate restructuring. This research aims to explain the place of citizenship education in Nigeria's national unity process. They are using qualitative methods with an interpretive paradigm approach. Civic education produces active citizens who are socially responsible, sensitive, adaptable, and socially intelligent members of their immediate environment and broader society. Genuine national unity will be ushered in by a sincere and willful commitment among Nigeria's diverse citizens to live honestly and consistently, demonstrated in a progressive nation working towards long-term development for present and future generations. This research suggests a way forward to include, among other things, that all Nigerian citizens should seek to imbibe the spirit of accommodating and working with others to promote national unity and integration.
