The Relationship Between The Number of Children and The Distance of Pregnancy With The Nutritional Status of Toddlers In Lestari Dadi Village, Pegajahan District, Serdang Bedagai Regency Year 2022
Authors: Arisman Yessy , Hayanti Sri
Published: November 2022

Nutritional status plays an important role in determining the quality of human resources, especially children under five. Most people have the number of children under five in one family > 2 toddlers and not a few pregnancies are close together < 2 years. The distance of pregnancy and the number of children also affect the nutritional status of children under five. The research method used is analytic quantitative using a cross sectional design. The sample in this study used purposive sampling with a sample of 49 respondents and the data obtained in the study were analyzed through two stages, namely univariate to determine the description and bivariate to determine the relationship (chi square). The results showed that the number of children in the 2 category was 55.9%. The distance between pregnancies in the 2 year category was 83.7%. The nutritional status in the good nutrition category (Normal) was 69.4%. There is a relationship between the number of children and the nutritional status of children under five (p=0.043). There is a relationship between the distance of pregnancy with the nutritional status of children under five (p = 0.015). Based on the results of this study,the authors suggest to mothers who have toddlers to adjust the birth spacing and the number of toddlers owned so that the nutritional status of toddlers is good.
Caracterización molecular de los virus de la bronquitis infecciosa aviar, la enfermedad de Newcastle y laringotraqueitis infecciosa en granjas de gallinas ponedoras de la provincia de Tungurahua, Ecuador
Authors:   , Revelo Cueva María del Carmen
Published: November 2022

Los virus de la Bronquitis infecciosa aviar (IBV), de la enfermedad de Newcastle (NDV) y de la Laringotraqueitis infecciosa (ILTV) causan tres enfermedades respiratorias comunes en las granjas de aves ponedoras comerciales. Para la prevención y el control efectivos de estas enfermedades es indispensable el conocimiento de las cepas presentes en una determinada zona. El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar molecularmente las cepas de estos virus que se encuentren circulando en las explotaciones de gallinas ponedoras de la provincia de Tungurahua. Se trabajó con muestras de hisopos (laringotraqueales y cloacales) y de órganos (tráquea, pulmón, oviducto y tonsilas cecales) de 47 granjas y con vacunas vivas: 17 contra IBV y seis contra NDV. Todas las vacunas vivas contra IBV y 16 granjas fueron positivas a IBV al amplificar la región 5’UTR y un segmento de S1. La construcción de un árbol filogenético con las secuencias parciales de S1 mostró que, existen tres tipos de cepas de IBV circulando en la provincia de Tungurahua, dos posiblemente vacunales y otra de origen desconocido. Con relación al NDV, 46 granjas resultaron positivas a la PCR del gen M, pero no se logró amplificar el gen F para ninguna de las muestras con ninguno de los siete juegos de cebadores probados; concluyéndose que cepas de NDV encontradas podrían presentar alguna variación genética que dificulta la hibridación de los cebadores. Finalmente, la detección molecular de los genes ICP4 y TK del ILTV en tres granjas podría ser indicativo de la presencia de cepas de campo o cepas vacunales vivas, teniendo en cuenta que la vacuna empleada en la zona de estudio es recombinante y sólo expresa la gB. El empleo de otras técnicas moleculares como NGS o secuenciación de genomas completos son necesarias para indagar con más profundidad en la epidemiologia de estos patógenos.

Le marketing des médicaments ou l’art de transformer les bien-portants en malades
Authors: Faure Pascaline
Published: November 2022

En 2017, le marché mondial du médicament a dépassé le seuil des 1 000 milliards de dollars US de chiffre d’affaires, en croissance de 6 % par rapport à 2016. Pourtant, selon P. Even & B. Debré [2012], l’industrie pharmaceutique n’aurait pas fait de découverte majeure depuis des décennies. On comprend alors qu’elle doive recourir à d’autres stratégies pour conserver ses bénéfices colossaux et continuer à peser sur la politique américaine. Le marketing représente à lui seul presque la moitié des dépenses des industriels du médicament. Aux États-Unis, ce « mixed marketing » s’adresse aux médecins mais surtout aux patients puisque la publicité télévisuelle pour les médicaments sur ordonnance y est légale.Dans notre contribution, nous souhaitons mettre au jour les différentes stratégies utilisées par l’industrie pharmaceutique – et les instituts de branding auxquels elle fait appel – pour persuader les patients de se faire prescrire un médicament plutôt qu’un autre, allant jusqu’à susciter un besoin chez une personne en parfaite santé, notamment par l’intermédiaire de la tactique du disease mongering.Pour mener notre travail à bien, nous proposons une analyse multimodale des noms et des logos, leur pendant pictural [Danesi 2006], de médicaments de marque sur ordonnance récemment approuvés par la Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Notre étude porte sur un corpus de 10 médicaments, que nous avons sélectionnés pour le pouvoir évocateur de leur nom et pour la richesse iconographique de leur logo.
De marbre et de perle : l’histoire et l’éphémère dans la poésie de Musset
Authors: Pinon Esther
Published: November 2022

Volontiers ironique ou intimiste, la poésie de Musset revendique son désengagement politique et se donne pour mission de saisir les frémissements du cœur, l’éphémère et l’impalpable (« Faire une perle d’une larme »). Aussi ne semble-t-elle pas être le lieu privilégié d’une écriture de l’histoire. La méditation historique angoissée et nostalgique qui traverse Lorenzaccio et La Confession d’un enfant du siècle ressurgit pourtant dans l’œuvre poétique de Musset, des « Vœux stériles » à « Sur trois marches de marbre rose » en passant par « Rolla », mais elle s’y manifeste selon d’autres modalités. Souvent corrélée à une pensée de l’histoire des arts, elle esthétise les temps révolus pour penser le présent, peint en images archétypales la succession des siècles et éternise le souvenir historique comme la mémoire intime. La poésie mussétienne combat ainsi l’inexorable fuite des âges à l’instant même où elle la verbalise.
Les Rois russes
Authors: Lallier François
Published: November 2022

Pierre Jean Jouve a été présent à l’histoire, en 1914, optant pour le pacifisme, et en 1940, participant depuis la Suisse à la résistance intellectuelle contre le nazisme. Mais il n’est pas soumis à l’histoire. Il montre au contraire qu’elle est subordonnée à des instances « spirituelles », parmi lesquelles se trouve l’inconscient tel que la psychanalyse en montre les mécanismes, comme dans l’une de ses Histoires sanglantes, « Les Rois russes », sorte de grand récit de rêve où agissent des personnages symboliques, dans le cadre des révolutions de 1905 et 1917.

Children with autism are children who have very complex developmental disorders ranging from interference in language or communicate both verbal and non verbal, not easy to adjust or change the routine with around, doing a thing by repeating, until the interaction of social interaction. In essence, children with autism also need education as other normal children, because actually children with autism also have the potential that can be developed. These potentials can be maximized if appropriate treatment is received. Children with autism in addition to having general knowledge as well as other normal children, they also have to get a religious science in this case that is Islamic religious education in order to provision their spiritual. Because Islamic religious education will lead autistic children into people who are able to live their lives by directing them to have good morals in community life, as well as relationship with God. The key to the success of this learning process is determined by several components, including teachers, methods used, and so forth. A suitable method of handling autistic children is the ABA method.This study aims to analyze the use of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Method to Improve Autism Children's Understanding on Islamic Education Learning in SLBN Pandaan, Pasuruan.

Authors: Raiji Reuben Mutua , Lumwagi Nickson Agusioma
Published: November 2022

The Savings and Credit Co-operative (SACCO) subsector is critical to Kenya's economic growth, since it provides a distinct and crucial role in financial services. Despite this, most SACCOs continue to suffer significant losses, with some even folding, raising questions about the procedures put in place to ensure continuing success. SACCOs in Meru County, in particular, have been plagued by financial scandals and employee-related issues, resulting in poor performance, raising questions about the role of human resource practices in easing these problems. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of human resource management practices on performance of SACCOS in Meru County, Kenya. The specific objectives were to assess the influence of staff welfare practices and employee development practices on the performance of SACCOS in Meru County, Kenya. The study was anchored on Contingency Theory. A descriptive research design was followed by the study. The research was conducted on 24 SACCOs in Meru County, with the target population consisting of SACCO managers, auditors, human resource directors, and operations managers. Questionnaires were used to gather data for the study, which were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. From the descriptive analysis, it was revealed that the human resource management practices including Staff recruitment practices (x̅=4.46), Employee development practices (x̅=4.40) were adopted to a very large extent in the Saccos. The correlation analysis showed that all the research variables including Staff recruitment practices (r=0.276) and Employee development practices (r=0.535) had a positive effect on the performance of Saccos in Meru County, Kenya. The study recommends that Saccos to engage human resource practitioners’ offices or employee experts in recruiting if they are to meet their objectives. The study recommends that the organizations should undertake job training for their employees, and employee training techniques should be in line with available resources, organizational structure, and organizational culture.

Published: November 2022

The Radiofrequency Refocused Echo Spin-Echo Echo-Train Rapid-Acquisition sequences, known as Turbo Spin Echo or Fast Spin Echo are the most commonly used sequences in Magnetic Resonance as they provide a notable contribution in morphological and anatomical terms, thanks to their high spatial and contrast resolution. Furthermore, they allow a higher signal noise ratio than the other families of sequences thanks to the numerous refocusing pulses and thanks to a TR so long as to allow sampling as many K-space phase encodings as possible and with a complete recovery of the Longitudinal Magnetization. Finally, the multiple 180 ° pulses of these sequences reduce the inhomogeneities of the Magnetic Field by minimizing the phenomena of magnetic susceptibility. However, their application, especially in scanners with a high intensity of static magnetic field B0(1.5T and/or 3T)is prevented by the deposition of RF due to the long echo trains, which sometimes involve exceeding the limits of the specific absorption rate for patient safety. Over time, a common solution to the SAR problem has been the use of refocusing angles smaller than 180°(160°-140°-120°),which lead to its reduction at the cost, however, of an obvious penalty in terms of signal-to-noise ratio. In this study we present a modulation method of the Refocus Flip-Angle applied to the DP-TSE sequences in the evaluation of meniscal lesions in the study protocol of the Magnetic Resonance of the Knee, which exploits the phenomenon of the Pseudo-Steady-State(PSS), leading to a noticeable SARreduction without loss of SNR and also providing excellent contrast resolution

EFFECT OF DIURNAL VARIATION ON THE MEASUREMENT OF SERUM IRON AND TIBC LEVELS IN HEALTHY POPULATION
Authors: Kaur Sandeep , Singh Jagroop , Goyal Gitanjali
Published: November 2022

Background: It is well-known that deciency or over exposure to various elements has noticeable effects on human health. The effect of an
element is determined by several characteristics, including absorption, metabolism, and degree of interaction with physiological processes. Iron is
an essential element for almost all living organisms as it participates in a wide variety of metabolic processes, including oxygen transport,
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, and electron transport. The Study was Conducted Material and Methods: in department of Biochemistry
Guru Gobind Singh Medical College Faridkot. Ethical clearance was taken from institutional ethical committee. Proper informed consent was
taken from all the participitants. Out of 60 healthy patients, 30 were males and 30 females. The Correlation between iron in three time Result:
intervals on the same day (Morning – Evening and Morning – Afternoon )for morning – afternoon values, the p value was <0.001 and the r value
was 0.920. For morning – evening, the p value was <0.001 and r value was 0.928, which shows statistically highly signicant correlation.
Conclusion: It was conducted that Iron levels showed signicant diurnal variations on same day samples. The variation was statistically non
signicant for TIBC. Also no consistant pattern has observed for iron variation. So the time of day for Iron &TIBC estimation does not hold much
value and only a fasting sample is required.

Published: November 2022

Background; Magnesium has been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction and its related complication like arrhythmia.
Magnesium helps in myocardial metabolism, inhibits calcium accumulation and myocardial cell death. It has role in improving the vascular tone,
peripheral vascular resistance, after load and cardiac output, reduces cardiac arrhythmias and improves lipid metabolism. Magnesium reduces
vulnerability to oxygen derived free radicals, improves endothelial function and inhibits platelet function including platelet aggregation and
adhesion. Objective: To know the relationship between the serum magnesium levels and arrhythmias in patients with acute myocardial
infarction.70 cases of acute myocardial infarction, admitted in a tertiary care hospital over a period of 2 years i.e., between October 2015 to October
2017. Results: There is a signicant difference in the magnesium levels in patients with arrhythmias and without arrhythmias. Conclusion: In
acute myocardial infarction, patients with low magnesium levels are more prone to get arrhythmias. That is the reason magnesium treatment can be
considered in patients of acute myocardial infarction with low magnesium levels.

Authors: Rajesh Gore , Milind Pol , Mrunmayee S Adke , Nilambaree S Adke , Abhishek S Dhanawade
Published: November 2022

Electroconvulsive therapy is a commonly performed procedure for psychiatric conditions such as intractable depression, bipolar disorder and
schizophrenia to mention a few. The procedure involves the delivery of small electrical stimuli transcutaneously with an aim to produce
generalized seizures. The therapy aims to produce a state of unconsciousness where the patient has generalized convulsions. The procedure
requires that the patient be given general anaesthesia and have neuromuscular paralysis to avoid pain and any excessive muscle contraction when
the seizures are induced. The patient is therefore given general anaesthesia and then neuromuscular blocking drugs are administered to produce a
state of muscle paralysis. But the dose of the neuromuscular blocking drug to produce this state of muscle paralysis remains debatable. The
minimum required dose to attain this state of muscle paralysis is desired to ensure minimum side effects. The aim of our study is to compare two
doses of a drug commonly used for electroconvulsive therapy, succinylcholine, in order to ensure a state of muscle paralysis while keeping
ensuring the side effects are minimum.

摘要课堂上，教师话语是教师组织课堂的一项基本专业技能，教师科学有效的使用课堂话语关系着学生课堂学习的效果。在对外汉语教学中，教师的课堂话语是学习者目的语输入的主要的途径。尤其是在印尼国内教授汉语时，学生处在自己的母语环境中，课堂几乎成为他们接触汉语的唯一场所，因此教师得在课时量不多的情况下，需要不断优化和调整自身课堂话语的使用能力，尽可能多为学生提供开口说汉语的机会，因而透过本研究来了解目前教师的课堂用语情况如何和存在什么样的问题。因此，对印尼 Tri Ratna School 和 Sekolah Budi Agung 两所初中一年级的汉语课堂进行录影，并整理课堂教师话语逐字稿语料，以量化语料标记与统计来厘清方向，再质化参与观察，最后透过对教师访谈来了解课堂的脉络，同时对比课堂话语相关理论，来分析课堂话语量、话语构成类型、课堂提问以及课堂反馈的情况，以作为未来印尼本地汉语教师的反思和本地汉语教师培训的相关参考依据。 关键词: 印尼；汉语教师；课堂话语 AbstractIn the classroom, teacher discourse is a basic professional skill for teachers to organize classes and use lessons scientifically and effectively. Classroom discourse is related to the effectiveness of students' classroom learning. For a foreign language learner, the teacher's classroom discourse is the learner's main way to enter the language. Especially when teaching Chinese in Indonesia, Chinese classes have almost become the only Chinese environment to students. Chinese Teachers have to standardize and adjust their classroom discourse and provide students with as many opportunities to speak Chinese as much as possible. This study started with the videos of the first-grade Chinese language classes at Tri Ratna and Budi Agung high school in Indonesia and organize the corpus of the classroom teacher's discourse verbatim manuscript. Then to quantify corpus markers and statistics to clarify the direction, and re-qualitative participation in observation. Through interviews with teachers, we can understand the context of the classroom. At the same time, we compare the relevant theories of classroom discourse to analyze the quantity of classroom discourse, the types of discourse composition, classroom asking, and classroom feedback. The result will serve as a future local Chinese teacher in Indonesia reflections and references for local Chinese teacher training courses.Keywords: Indonesia ; Chinese Teacher ;classroom discourse
perception of healthcare workers toward primary healthcare communication in South Africa
Authors: Verwey Sonja , Crystal Andrea , Bessin Tracey
Published: November 2022

South Africa's current healthcare conditions show a first world / third world division. The rapid urbanisation of the 1980's and beyond, as well as our population growth rate, has put existing healthcare services under increasing pressure. This Increasing demand, exacerbated by limited funding, necessitates a fundamental restructuring of these services. This means that South African healthcare will have to refocus also from being curative to being more preventative. In such a system communication will have to play a major role as the emphasis clearly would also have to fall on education through the provision of information and guidance. Against this broad background, it would seem that Government has failed to adopt a fully integrated approach to primary healthcare communication. As a result, the allocation of communication resources and the design of communication interventions may not be fully effective in supporting substantive improvements in the primary health status of the country's population. The purpose of this study was to investigate this hypo thesis through a qualitative analysis of the perceptions held by health care workers of the effectiveness and suitability of Governments healthcare campaign

Published: November 2022

The first new political dispensation in South Africa encouraged scholars to study political communication with a renewed interest. At the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 275 students were involved in a survey to determine their future expectations and their sources of political information. It was found that the most negative expectations, which the students identified, included the following: more unemployment and poverty, the introduction of reverse discrimination, unsafe living conditions, emigration of whites and far-reaching increases in taxation. Positive expectations that were raised included more foreign investments, better relations with overseas countries and increased entrepreneurship. Students used primarily television, radio and newspapers as sources of political information, whilst friends and family were not as information as popular a Source of was anticipated by Nimmo's study (1978) in the USA. The study indicated that there was difference in the usage of media individuals with more positive expectations against those who inclined to have more negative expectations.

Ruiru, a town within the metropolitan area of Nairobi Kenya, has experienced rapid urbanization which has generated a lot of challenges and problems – economically, socially, and environmentally The Purpose of this research was to study the impact of mega infrastructure on the hydrology of Ruiru and Kamiti rivers. The catchment area was defined by River gauging station (RGS) 3BB12 on River Kamiti and delineated using the RGS as the catchment outlet and was based on SRTM void filled Digital Elevation Model (DEM).  Data sets utilized in the study were landsat images, google earth images, river flow data obtained from from water resources authorities (WRA), river abstraction records, water production data and rainfall data. Various GIS methods employed to analyze the data included normalized difference built up index (NDBI), hydrological characterization using the threshold method, change detection, and GIS software (ILWIS and Grass GIS). The supervised classification built up index for the study area increased from 2.8% to 51.8% for the period under study. The mean flows over this period decreased from 2.2m3/s to 0.53m3/s. This indicated that there was a definite effect of change in land use to the river flow regime. However, to conclude that mega projects had a separate effect to ‘normal’ urban development would not have been correct. This is because the flow duration curves for the different periods (1958-1987, 1988-2000, 2005-2010, 2011-2016) showed a similar pattern with no abnormal changes seen in the previous 10-15 years. It is therefore recommended that developmental control be enforced. This will assist in mitigating against the negative effects of land use conversion. The present development control authorities need to be strengthened to enforce development control. The zoning guidelines and planning regulations form the basis for developmental control and should be enforced.
Soil and Atmospheric Microclimate Research in Poplar Forestry Intercropping System in Hungary

Climate change presents growing environmental, economic, and social problems for the industrializing and developing world. Applying new technologies and transitioning to a cleaner, more flexible economy are essential to solving these problems. These solutions focus on climate change mitigation and work toward a complete transformation in line with sustainable development goals. Agroforestry systems are used for climate change adaptation and to support biodiversity. They also help combat desertification and soil erosion. Practical experiences show that applying forestry alley cropping systems can contribute to the climate adaptation of young forest stocks. The present study examined a historical forestry intercropping method known as Vákáncsos following the effects of microclimate stress on poplar seedlings (Populus × euramericana cv. I-214). This study investigated the background of previous observations concerning the practice of using intermediate crops in forest conditions – and the favorable results from these – and compared the stress effects on seedlings. When assessing the microclimate of the system, we used the EC tester (EC–electrical conductivity) to measure soil temperature and conductivity. We employed an agrometeorological hand-held instrument to measure air temperature, humidity, and wind speed. The results show that the agroforestry system significantly reduces temperature extremes and provides more favorable humidity. The agroforestry system reduced soil temperature values by 1–14 Co in the warmest period of the year. Experience and measurements indicate that the applied agroforestry practice can increase stress tolerance, afforestation efficiency, land use maximization, and profitability. Applied agroforestry can also serve other purposes like ecosystem services and feeding. Forestry alley cropping systems can be combined with resource efficiency.

Transforming economies towards the increased circular use of raw materials and keeping resource consumption within planetary boundaries is a major challenge. In our previous research, we utilized sewage sludge to produce artificial soil mixtures well-suited to the biological recultivation of degraded areas. The present study investigated how we can integrate red mud, often considered waste, into this circular management form. With red mud volume ratios of 15% and 30%, we experienced good germination and growth in Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila L.), white poplar (Populus alba L.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and the perennial multipurpose crop, Virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita L.). Our results indicate that it is worthwhile to scale up this cheap, economically and ecologically favourable combined waste recovery and mine reclamation technology and to expand its use to fullscale operation.

Over the past decades, most of the countries in the world have undergone unprecedented demographic changes, such as childbearing preferences. This has been a basis for a large array of research; however, studies so far have focused a little on the impacts of domestic violence and family structure on childbearing preferences which is the overall aim of this study. A logistic regression model was developed using a large data set (8,776) that represents different residential sectors (urban, rural, and estate) in Sri Lanka. Results indicate that women in an extended family structure are more likely to prefer another child than women in a nuclear family. The disaggregated analysis indicates the heterogeneity in childbearing preferences. Precisely, the experience of domestic violence shows a negative impact  in rural and urban sectors. The findings suggest providing appropriate programs on reducing family violence, alleviating poverty and encouraging women's education, to achieve healthy population growth and SDGs.
