This research aims to determine the belief-based drought perceptions and attitudes of farmers in Şanlıurfa, which is in a semi-arid climate regime, and the factors affecting them. The surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews with farmers selected by a simple random sampling method in 2020. Analyses were performed with ordinal logit regression in STATA. According to the results, while the effects of settlement location, land size, age, and the size of the household were statistically significant to farmers seeing drought, which is the dependent variable, as caused by fate, the effects of income, experience, and education level were insignificant. For the probability of predicting drought for each independent variable in the sequence analysis, the highest probabilities were found among farmers in the Harran Plain, with 21–30 years of experience, from a household of one to four people, with the land area between 5.1 and 10.0 hectares, aged 61 and above, who were primary school graduates, and who had an annual income of less than 25,000 TL ($3561). The subject of drought should be given more place in religious education in the entire research area by prioritizing these groups. It would also be beneficial to organize workshops for the farmers by agricultural consultants, where Islamic scholars would be present to support science and knowledge in terms of faith. This study is the first in this context in Turkey and provides useful data to policymakers for drought-mitigation policies.

Sporadic Mg- and F-rich particles were observed on the Cu electrodes after polarization tests in Cu|Mg cells with PCL-PTMC electrolyte, suggesting that Mg was conducted in the ion complex form (Mg

Primary Healthcare Policy Research: Including Variables Associated With the Social Determinants of Health Matters Comment on "Universal Health Coverage for Non-communicable Diseases and Health Equity: Lessons From Australian Primary Healthcare"
Authors: Berg Shannon
Published: September 2021

Fisher et al have provided a solid addition to health policy literature in their finding that universal health coverage supports equitable access to Australian primary healthcare (PHC), despite factors such as episodic care and poor distribution of services. Their definition of PHC was comprehensive, extending beyond medical care to include social determinants of health and public policy. However, they limited their operational definition for purposes of the study to general practice, community health and allied health. Applying a narrower definition risks lost opportunities to identify policy implications for equity beyond financial accessibility. The populations most at risk of non-communicable diseases also face significant language, culture, and individual and systemic discrimination barriers to access. Future policy research should consider using a comprehensive PHC definition in determining variables of interest and designing research methodologies, to avoid missing important knowledge that allows existing biases within primary care to continue.

Published: September 2021

Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is highly prevalent among adults in rural China and better management of those populations is of vital importance for viral hepatitis elimination. Adult immunization has been the subject of much controversy in previous studies. This study estimates the cost-effectiveness of population-based hepatitis B screening, treatment, and immunization strategy (comprehensive strategy) in rural areas with high prevalence under the national policy of sharp-drop drug prices. Methods: We constructed a Markov model comparing 4 strategies in a 30-year horizon from the healthcare payer perspective: (1) the conventional pattern; (2) screening and treating infected (treatment); (3) screening and immunizing susceptible individuals (immunization); and (4) the comprehensive strategy. Screening intensity ranged from 50% to 100%. Outcomes were measured by costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), and clinical outcomes. Results: The costs for the conventional pattern, treatment strategy, immunization strategy, and comprehensive strategy were US$ 341, 351, 318, and 323, respectively. In addition, effects were 17.45, 17.57, 17.46, and 17.58 QALYs, respectively. The ICER of the comprehensive strategy was US$ 35/QALY gained at 50% screening intensity and 420 US$/QALY gained at 100%. The net monetary benefit increased with increasing screening intensity and declined after 90%, with the highest value of US$40 693. All new infections and 52.5% mortality could be avoided from 2020 to 2049 if all patients were properly treated and all susceptible individuals were immunized. The results were stable within a wide range of parameters. Conclusion: It was cost-effective to implement the mass hepatitis B screening, treatment, and immunization strategy in areas of rural China with high prevalence, and the strategy gained the most net monetary benefit at a screening intensity of 90%. Although it was impractical to fulfill 100% coverage, efforts should be made to obtain more people screened.
Designed to Fail? Revisiting Uganda’s Maternal Health Policies to Understand Policy Design Issues Underpinning Missed Targets for Reduction of Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR): 2000-2015
Authors: Mukuru Moses , Gorry Jonathan , Kiwanuka Suzanne N. , Gibson Linda , Musoke David , Ssengooba Freddie
Published: September 2021

Background: Despite Uganda and other sub-Saharan African countries missing their maternal mortality ratio (MMR) targets for Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5, limited attention has been paid to policy design in the literature examining the persistence of preventable maternal mortality. This study examined the specific policy interventions designed to reduce maternal deaths in Uganda and identified particular policy design issues that underpinned MDG 5 performance. We suggest a novel prescriptive and analytical (re)conceptualization of policy in terms of its fidelity to ‘3Cs’ (coherence of design, comprehensiveness of coverage and consistency in application) that could have implications for future healthcare programming. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study. Sixteen Ugandan maternal health policy documents and 21 national programme performance reports were examined, and six key informant interviews conducted with national stakeholders managing maternal health programmes during the reference period 2000-2015. We applied the analytical framework of the ‘three delay model’ combined with a broader literature on ‘policy mixing.’ Results: Despite introducing fourteen separate policy instruments over 15 years with the goal of reducing maternal mortality, by the end of the MDG period in 2015, only 87.5% of the interventions for the three delays were covered with a notable lack of coherence and consistency evident among the instruments. The three delays persisted at the frontline with 70% of deaths by 2014 attributed to failures in referral policies while 67% of maternal deaths were due to inadequacies in healthcare facilities and trained personnel in the same period. By 2015, 37.3% of deaths were due to transportation issues. Conclusion: The piecemeal introduction of additional policy instruments frequently distorted existing synergies among policies resulting in persistence of the three delays and missed MDG 5 target. Future policy reforms should address the ‘three delays’ but also ensure fidelity of policy design to coherence, comprehensiveness and consistency.
Zegers, et al. Provide More Evidence that the Healthcare Administrative Burden is Real, Widespread and Has Serious Consequences; Comment on "Perceived Burden Due to Registrations for Quality Monitoring and Improvement in Hospitals: A Mixed Methods Study"
Authors: Heuer Albert J.
Published: September 2021

Countries around the world have implemented programs to help monitor and enhance the quality of health services provided. Inherent in these programs and internal process improvement initiatives are an array of reporting requirements which often place a burden on clinicians and the organizations in which they function. Zegers and colleagues performed a mixed methods study on the perceived burden which these reporting requirements place on doctors, nurses, and other clinicians within three hospitals in the Netherlands. Like all studies, theirs has some minor limitations; most notably possible limits on generalizability from a limited sample. Nonetheless, their project makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of research which suggests that the burden has deleterious effects on clinicians and may well have an erosive impact on patient care.

Authors: Conde Mireia , Combalia Felip , Ollé Lluis , Bacardit Anna
Published: September 2021

The main aim of this study is to use the vegetable extract obtained from the residues of pine forest exploitation as a source of tannins that, acting both as a tanning and retanning agent, can replace other vegetable extracts and chrome in leather tanning. The study thus proposes a bio resource more sustainable to use in tanning process that avoids the use of chemical products that are detrimental to our health and can have an impact on the biodegradable nature of the final tanned leather. Furthermore, in addition to the benefits of using a new, fully biodegradable tanning material (Biodegradability of vegetable tanned leather is poor than chrome tanned leather), this is a locally sourced product, which allows the carbon footprint to be notably reduced (Vegetable tanning contributes more carbon foot print than chrome tanning). Additionally, it should be possible to add value to forestry residues over a short period of time, which would undoubtedly contribute to improving forest management in Spain and would also be beneficial in many ways.
Investigation of the Interaction between Epoxides and Collagen in Epoxy Tanning based on BDDGE Cross-linked Collagen Solution
Authors: Zhang Yuanzhi , Li Guoying
Published: September 2021

To investigate further the interaction between epoxides and collagen in epoxy tanning, collagen solutions (3 mg/ml) cross-linked with various concentrations (0.5–4-wt%) of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDGE) at low temperature (4ºC), alkaline conditions (pH = 10) were prepared. The sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the intact triple-helix structure of the cross-linked collagen. With the increasing concentration of BDDGE, the denaturation temperature measured using VP-DSC increased from 42.56 ºC to 44.25ºC and thermogravimetric analysis showed that the decomposition temperature increased from 333.0ºC to 351.8ºC. In addition, the rheology properties such as G¢, G² and ?* were measured with a rotary rheometer using dynamic frequency scanning. The trinitrobenzensulfonic acid method and atomic force microscopy were used to investigate the interaction between collagen and BDDGE. The results indicated that the changes in cross-linked collagen performance were attributed to the transition of collagen aggregation caused by cross-linking. In addition, the transition point of 2-wt% BDDGE was the key node for the formation of a mature cross-linked network and the cross-linking barely increased above that. It is hoped that these findings deepen the understanding of epoxy tanning and provide guidance for the practical use of epoxides in tanning and biomaterials.

Published: September 2021

Although the research of leather chemicals has experienced considerable advances, it remains imperative and challenging to develop functional ones; especially functionalized fatliquors or re-tanning agents. In consideration with the unique structure and properties, graphene oxide (GO) has been reported as a potential alternative to ameliorate the performance of leather. However, one of the intractable handicaps is how to make graphene penetrate evenly and react with collagen fibers. Here, we demonstrate a method for preparing graphene-based polymeric fatliquor (PFGO) via an amidation reaction between amino-groups of aminated graphene (AGO) and anhydride bonds of maleic anhydride-rapeseed oil copolymer (MRO), which was synthesized by free radical copolymerization. The results show that the as-prepared fatliquor has good emulsion stability and can penetrate into the collagen fibers uniformly. Compared with the control sample without graphene, the antibacterial, electromagnetic shielding, flame retardant and UV resistance characteristics of the PFGO-treated leather were significantly improved. Overall, this e?ective yet promising paradigm may provide an achievable solution toward developing graphene-based polymer composites simultaneously with high physical property and high functional performance.

The control of pH of a process plays an important role in many chemical or biological reactions. The monitoring and control of pH of processes like wastewater treatment, manufacturing food and leather making facilitate to reduce pollution and improve the quality of the final product. The focus of this study is to optimize the usage of lime and recycling of spent liquor through continuous monitoring system of pH to achieve near zero residue from liming operation. But the challenges are nonlinear behaviour of the system and frequent fouling of pH sensors. The system developed monitors the pH values and controls the cycling time and the addition of lime as per the user set profile. The real time data of pH values in the process is logged on to the PC for further analysis. The efficacy of the system developed was validated at lab level and can be easily scaled up for implementation in industries. The results showed that the effluent from leather making can be minimized by adopting automated pH monitoring and control systems.

The Muslim tourist segment is regarded as one of the demanding segments in the tourism industry at the current state. It is understood that Muslim travelers prefer to select tourist destinations that bear Islamic elements thus allowing for activities to be done based on religious norms. This would include facilities for prayers, having Halal food and beverages, are liquor-free, and abide by Islamic dress codes; among others. These elements undoubtedly will provide an enriching experience during their travels. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate Muslim travelers’ perception regarding accommodation experiences that Muslim travelers encounter during their stay to realign with Muslim traveller’s needs and preferences. As this study is exploratory in nature, a qualitative research design is applied and 14 international Muslim informants who have travelled internationally were interviewed during the data collection process. The findings revealed that Muslim travelers seek accommodation that offers special necessities for Muslim travelers, located in a suitable location, and chooses the accommodation that offers a favourable service experience. This study has supported previous literature on enhancing Muslim customers’ experience in terms of accommodation provision worldwide. Furthermore, the findings aid in enhancing the needs and preferences of Muslim travelers during traveling hence supporting the growth of Halal tourism. It is seen that tourist destinations and facilities that can provide the faith-based needs required by Muslim tourists will exceed in the creation of a memorable and meaningful tourist experience.

Introduction: The Corona Virus pandemic has resulted in the formation of a policy on online learning which is likely to start gradually in 2021 for the implementation of offline learning again. Students' understanding of the Corona Virus and the application of 3M (using masks, maintaining distance and washing hands using soap) is very important to prevent the rate of transmission of the virus. So it is necessary to measure students' knowledge about Corona Virus on 3M's behavior before offline learning begins with the hope that when offline learning opens, students will understand Corona Virus and be able to behave 3M properly. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is a relationship between the level of knowledge about Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) and 3M behavior among students at STIKES Telogorejo Semarang. Methods: The design of this study is quantitative descriptive analytic. The number of samples used is 90 students where students will fill out 2 questionnaires, namely about Corona Virus knowledge and 3M behavior via google form. Results: The results in the study showed that the level of student knowledge was 97.8% in the good category and the implementation of 3M's behavior was 98.9% in the good category with a p.value of 0.000, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of the level of student knowledge on 3M behavior. Conclusion: Knowledge plays an important role in determining complete behavior because knowledge will form beliefs which in turn will perceive reality, provide a basis for decision making and determine behavior in a particular situation.

Las instituciones de educación superior en nuestro continente hasta mediados del siglo XIX desarrollaron sus propuestas formativas desde el salón de clases, complementadas con las exigencias de la revolución industrial al promover procesos de investigación. Con las revoluciones políticas de comienzos del siglo XX se intronizan en culturas y gobiernos de democracia occidental la necesidad de atender “lo social”, tema hasta entonces propio de la filantropía y la caridad, por mandato de las ideas de Maquiavelo, Locke y Smith. Solo con las Reformas de Cordoba (1918) las universidades latinoamericanas colocan sus saberes y experiencia para atender y acompañar diferentes estamentos sociales en sus preocupaciones y posibilidades surgiendo así la función sustantiva de proyección social u extensión universitaria. Desde allí la universidad hace más útil y pertinente su proyecto educativo mediante una interacción dialógica con las comunidades donde realiza sus asesorías, consultorías, educación continua y practicas estudiantiles al aportar sus conocimientos al medio externo y al nutrir docencia e investigación con los aprendizajes y cuestionamientos de usuarios de sus programas. Es allí donde se genera valor desde su quehacer misional, desde su innovación social. Esa es principalmente su importancia como institución de educación superior: aporta y crece.

The article touches upon the problems of general theory and metalaguage of one more invariant type of the sentence, that is, a composite sentence with an introductory clause along with the three traditionally accepted structural-semantic (compound, complex and mixed /semi-composite/) types and the taxonomy of the latter in language. The main focus here is made on the so called parenthetical, rather introductory constructions represented by introductory words, phrases and sentences, specifically verbalizing the universal concept of subjective modal assessment” of the fact (action, quality, quantity, state, etc.) expressed in the main body of the sentences, to which the latter are canonically introduced. The author here makes an accent on the status of the so called simple sentences with an “introductory element”, expressed by a clause in language(s) which have been traditionally treated as “simple sentences of the complicated structure”, although they are characterized by their natural surface and deep structures like a composite sentence with at least two predicative units, each of which having its own grammatically expressed subjectpredicate structure. Critically approaching the treatment of such composite sentences as “complex sentences with a parenthetical clause” in special literature, the author considers them to be “composite sentences with an introductory clause”, for the latter can’t be segmented into principle and subordinate clauses, and proves his own approach by illustrating them through convincing examples from fiction materials, which paves the way to four–membered taxonomy of composite sentences replacing the traditional three –membered one.

This paper proposes a Linear Parameter-Varying loop-shaping controller for a power-synchronized Phase-locked Loop (PLL)-less grid-following inverter (GFLI). This control strategy regulates the inverter's output active and reactive powers at the terminal instead of the point of connection and does not require a PLL for extracting the voltage phase angle. Hence, the prevalent stability issues exhibited when GFLIs are connected to weak grids are not present, and the proposed GFLI control strategy can work under both very weak and strong grid conditions without being prone to instability. In this approach, the controller parameters are functions of the operating point and changed during the real-time operation such that the closed-loop performance is preserved in all operating points. Furthermore, since the grid impedance is a factor in the design process, a robustness analysis against grid impedance estimation error is conducted, and it is shown that discrepancies in estimated and real grid impedances are unlikely to make the system unstable. The performance of the proposed control design is validated in Matlab/PLECS and experiment for both strong and weak grids.
Towards Physics-Based Generalizable Convolutional Neural Network Models for Indoor Propagation
Authors: Seretis Aristeidis
Published: September 2021

A fundamental challenge for machine learning models for electromagnetics is their ability to predict output quantities of interest (such as fields and scattering parameters) in geometries that the model has not been trained for. Addressing this challenge is a key to fulfilling one of the most appealing promises of machine learning for computational electromagnetics: the rapid solution of problems of interest just by processing the geometry and the sources involved. The impact of such models that can "generalize" to new geometries is more profound for large-scale computations, such as those encountered in wireless propagation scenarios. We present generalizable models for indoor propagation that can predict received signal strengths within new geometries, beyond those of the training set of the model, for transmitters and receivers of multiple positions, and for new frequencies. We show that a convolutional neural network can "learn" the physics of indoor radiowave propagation from ray-tracing solutions of a small set of training geometries, so that it can eventually deal with substantially different geometries. We emphasize the role of exploiting physical insights in the training of the network, by defining input parameters and cost functions that assist the network to efficiently learn basic and complex propagation mechanisms.

Cultivation of okra on ultisol soils having poor physical, chemical and biological soil properties can be improved by administering a bio-stimulant extract of golden snails and combined with NPK fertilizer. This research objective was to study a combination of bio-stimulant treatment of golden apple snail extract and NPK fertilizer dosage in increasing the growth and yield of okra on ultisol soil. This study used a factorial completely randomized design with two factors.  The first factor was Bio-stimulant golden apple snails extract consisting of 4 treatment, and the second factor was levels of NPK fertilizer consisting of 3 treatment. Fertilizers had a significant effect on increasing overall plant growth.  The bio-stimulant extracts of golden apple snails contain organic materials that can improve physical properties (increasing aggregation, moisture retention, soil hydraulic conductivity), chemical (increasing soil organic carbon content) and biology (increasing soil microbial biomass). The nutrient content in NPK fertilizers can increase nutrients; the availability of nutrients in the soil is balanced and can be absorbed by plants so that the photosynthesis process in plants can run well and increase on growth and yield of okra. The combination of bio-stimulant extract of golden apple snails of 20 mL/L water and NPK fertilizer of 150 kg/ha (1 g/polybag) had the highest resulted in the average value of growth and yield of okra on the ultisol soils.

The application of organic matter is a way to improve upland rice productivity that grows among immature oil palm plants. To improve the yield of upland rice among immature oil palm plants, this study has been carried out by providing organic matter. The research aimed to determine the effect of organic matter application for upland rice production that plant among immature oil palm. The experimental design used in this study was Randomized Block Design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment includes: control, rice straw compost, weed biomass compost, palm oil empty bunch compost, and cow manure. The dose of organic matter given was 3 tons/ha. The results showed that the application of organic materials have significant effects on yield component and the production of upland rice. In general, the best yield and yield components were obtained in the manure treatment, namely plant height 104.7 cm; the number of productive tillers 158 grains; the percentage of filled grain per panicle was 85.8% and grain yield was 5.6 tons/ha or increase by 21.74% compared to the control treatment (4.6 tons/ha). The highest number of productive tillers and weight of 1000 grains were obtained in the palm oil empty bunch compost treatment (14.5 and 28.2 g).

The study described a Nigerian Government program called the Need for Power (N-Power) in reducing the unemployment rate. Questionnaires were distributed to 115 respondents sampled using an accidental sampling technique, and a descriptive analysis was conducted to determine the influence of N-Power in generating employment opportunities. The reliability of 0.81 was obtained with the use of the Cronbach alpha formula. From the result, N-Power Volunteer Corps, N-Power Builds, N-Power Creative, and N-Power Knowledge generated employment to a high extent. It was also concluded that males' employment opportunities generated by N-Power did not significantly differ from females'. Consequently, this study recommended that the Government listen to the beneficiaries' complaints to declare their actual income voluntarily, increase the monthly stipend of N10,000 per month to encourage more youths to participate in the program, and link training to job and labour market opportunities.
