URINE GLUCOSE DETECTION AS A DIABETES DISEASE IN WOMEN AND ELDERLY IN KEDUNGPANDAN VILLAGE, JABON, SIDOARJO
Authors: Santoso Andreas Putro Ragil , Wulandari Devyana Dyah
Published: June 2021

Diabetes is a disease of metabolic disorders caused by poor production of insulin by the pancreas or due to the use of body insulin which is not maximal, causing interference. The main diabetes that often occurs in the community is type 1 and type 2 diabetes because of the influence of body insulin. Examination for detection is intended so that the public can find out about the presence of glucose in the urine so that the community can immediately recover faster, considering that if there is a glucose level in the urine, there is an increase in the level of glucose in the blood. The method used in this community service is to collect residents at the center, which is then carried out by examining the urine sample using a urine dysptic. Based on the results of examinations carried out on 62 people consisting of mothers and the elderly, it showed that there were 10 positive people or 19% of the total sample. This shows that early detection is important because there are still people who do not know the importance of early detection of disease in themselves, especially in the Kedung Pandan area.

Published: June 2021

Antimicrobial activities of deoiled seed kernel (mechanically pressed), fruit coat and seed coat of Jatropha curcas Linn. collected from two regions (Bannu and Peshawar) of Pakistan were investigated. The antimicrobial activities were carried out against Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 43816), Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633) and two clinical fungal isolates Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans using agar well diffusion method. The antibacterial activities of Peshawar sample were found to be higher than Bannu, against selected strains. While antifungal activities of both samples were similar. Highest zone of inhibition 31.5 ± 0.7 mm was exhibited by n-hexane extract of deoiled seed kernel of Peshawar sample against Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633). The minimum inhibitory concentration of ethanolic extracts of deoiled seed kernel and seed coat of Peshawar sample was 31.25 - 25 mg/ml. Whereas, minimum inhibitory concentration of ethanolic and n-hexane extracts of Bannu sample was 62.5 - 125 mg/ml. The results suggested that antimicrobial potential of J. curcas Linn. varied with geographical distribution. The investigation of different varieties of medicinal plants belonging to the same species will greatly enhance the chances of best pharmaceuticals discovery.

Published: June 2021

Seven wheat genotypes i.e., PR-110, PR-112, PR-115, PR-118, PR-119, PR-120 and Pirsabak-13 were evaluated at: I0: Control, I1: irrigation at seedling stage, I2: irrigation at seedling and booting stages, I3: irrigation at seedling, tillering and booting stages and I4: irrigation at seedling, tillering, booting and grain formation stages. Among the genotypes, PR-115, PR-118 and PR-120 were found to be superior for grain yield and its related attributes under full and deficit water conditions. Irrigation at seedling + tillering + booting stages + grain formation stages (I4) produced statistically higher yield and related traits. It was also observed that in case of water shortage, irrigation at seedling and booting stages reduced the drastic losses in grain yield of wheat. The study suggested that identified promising wheat genotypes can be utilized in future breeding programs to develop drought tolerant varieties.

Authors: Moursy Ahmed A , Ismail MM
Published: June 2021

A field experiment was conducted to observe effects of water requirements and different fertilizers on wheat crop’s yield, production and N uptake. Data showed that dry matter yield of wheat grain was higher with Hu + AS (5.82 mt/ha) compared with applied water 100% ETC. Concerning the rate of water regime, the best significant grain yield of wheat was obtained with 100% ETc (4.23 mt/ha). Nitrogen derived from fertilizer Ndff% with 50% ETC of water was 28.41 and 27.28% for grain and straw, respectively. At 100% ETC of water the Ndff% was 30.16 and 27.75% for grain and straw, respectively. Nitrogen utilized by grains and straw was more efficient under treatment Hu + AS combined with 50% Etc, 100% Etc recording 15.6 and 32.23%, respectively. At 50% ETC of water requirements for wheat crop, higher N remained in 0 - 15, 15 - 30 and 30 - 45 cm soil depth were nearly closed to each other compared with the treatment made at 100% ETC of water requirements.

Detection of Epistasis and Genetic Parameters of Some Quantitative Traits Through Triple Test Cross Analysis in Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.)
Authors: Hasan MT , Deb AC
Published: June 2021

Triple test cross analysis was carried out to detect the epistasis of thirteen yield and yield components in five chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) crosses. Total epistatic effect was found to be non-significant for all the studied traits. Partitioning of total epistasis indicated the involvement of ‘i’ type (additive × additive) epistasis for DFF, PHFF, PWH, NPd/P, PdW/P, NS/P and SW/P in cross-1; NPBFF and NSBFF in cross-3 and for PHFF, DMF, PHMF and NSBMF in cross-5. The magnitude of additive component (D) was higher than that of the dominance component (H). Partial degree of dominance (√H/D) was observed for most of the traits. Both broad (h2b) and narrow (h2n) sense heritability were found to be moderately high. Positive and significant correlation between sums and differences indicated the direction of dominance towards decreasing parents and vice-versa.

Published: June 2021

Evaluation of the antimicrobial, antiparasitic and phytochemical potential of medicinal plant Chenopodium album (Bathua) leaves extract was carried out. The plant extracts were prepared by using distilled water and methanol as an extraction solvents. Pure methanolic extract of leaves showed 15 mm against Staphylococcus auerus after 24 hrs. Aqueous extract showed no activity against S. auerus. Similarly in case of S. typhi pure methanolic leaves extract showed 13 mm. While standard discs gentamicin showed (DIZ) 18 mm after 24 hrs, different dilution inhibition zone was maximum in case of 100% pure extract, and decreased with increasing dilution. Minimum DIZ was observed at 25% and no zone at 5% dilution. Anthelmintic activity of crude methanolic extract of C. album leaves were tested, all extracts showed maximum corrected mortality of 100%, aqueous extract showed better antiparasitic activity than methanolic extract. It can be a potential source of therapeutic agent. Further analysis is needed for clinical trial. Phytochemicals screening was carried out which reveals the presence of alkaloids, tannins, phenols and flavonoids in studied plant extract. The nutritional analysis indicated that C. album may be a rich source of carbohydrate.

Published: June 2021

Fisheries sector is considered as fast-growing sector in India. At present fish production has increased over time, but it doesn’t change the economic conditions of the fishing community. Fisheries’ daily income is very low and varied depending upon capture of fish and their income isn’t steady. Fisheries aren’t only engaged in fishing, they also engage in other jobs because fisheries get less amount of profit of margin and this occupation is not continue all over the year. Various study reported that their educational and economical status was not satisfactory. Large family sizes, lack of regularity in alternative occupation, lack of own fishing gear is the main cause of poverty of fishermen. Most of them lived in mud made house or katcha house and addicted to tobacco or alcohol. Few studies revealed the dietary iron deficiency, low iron absorption, protein and micronutrient deficiencies and infections which lead to poor nutritional status of the fisherman. Study also reported that fishermen are a special group with some unfavorable life styles and vulnerable for injuries, skin and respiratory problems, filarial and certain other diseases. Based on the literature, it may be stated that there is need to specifically target and improve the occupational lifestyle of fishermen and various interventions like nutrition and health promotion activities, educational issues to be addressed.

The role of spirituality and spiritual care in complementary and alternative medicine: A scoping review
Authors: Hoosen Mujeeb , Roman Nicolette Vanessa , Mthembu Thuli Godfrey
Published: June 2021

Background: Spirituality has become more prevalent in health professions other than complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). In CAM, spirituality appears to be part of a foundational component of the clinical practice, which is valued by many patients. Spirituality has gained popularity in healthcare education and practice; however, the contribution made by CAM remains minimal evidenced by the paucity of studies on the topic of spirituality in CAM. Therefore, there is need for a scoping review to: 1) to explore the focus and nature of research on spirituality in CAM; 2) to provide recommendations based on the relational aspects between spirituality and CAM.

Methods: A scoping review was performed of all relevant articles found in Ebscohost (Academic Search Complete), Science Direct, and Scopus published between 2000 and 2019. This scoping review included two hundred and six studies, of these, twentytwo articles focussed on the role of spirituality in CAM.

Results: These four themes were reported in the results: spirituality as a modality of CAM; patient perceptions of the role of spirituality and CAM; practitioner perceptions of the role of spirituality and CAM; and the role of spirituality and CAM in education and practice. Spirituality was considered an important component and was linked to culture, traditions and/or religious beliefs. The use of spirituality in CAM was especially linked to patients living with chronic disease such as diabetes, cardiac conditions and cancer. Spirituality seemingly facilitated health care and while patients expected spirituality healthcare advice from CAM practitioners most CAM practitioners felt ill equipped to deal with the topic appropriately.

Conclusions: Overall, this scoping review highlights that the role of spirituality in CAM seem to be of value for both practitioners and clients within the CAM clinical setting. However, only a few practitioners include spiritual healthcare advice without clear guidelines. Consequently, this may compromise the holistic treatment, which so many patients expect within the CAM domain. Therefore, there is a need for the inclusion of spirituality in the CAM curriculum and guidelines for CAM practitioners.

Published: June 2021

The global emergence of the recently discovered COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019; SARS-CoV-2) has already shown its devastating effects on almost the entire world by causing huge numbers of death cases and rupturing the whole economy as well as social communication. South Asia, a region that comprises mostly of least developed and developing countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) with overpopulation, illiteracy, poverty, lack of awareness, lack of hygiene, inadequate health care facilities, is still struggling to fight against this virus and facing the consequences with over 8.5 million confirmed cases including 130,636 deaths till the 20th October. Prompt and proper protective measures, good health care systems, and conscious people are the keys to reducing the severe impacts of this pandemic situation, and most of the countries in this region lack all of this. Considering this, it will not be a surprise if the pandemic takes its full shape in these countries and recent evidence also suggest that the situation is already on its way to reach the peak. However, the pandemic nature in South Asia also demonstrates that strict measures by the government and co-operation from the people can protect a country from the impacts of the virus, whereas lack of these can lead to the next heat point. This review demonstrates and compares the impact of COVID-19 in the mass population of South Asia which could support the government and scientific community to take proper protective measures against this global pandemic and better prepare the community for future challenges. Moreover, good health care systems, public health infrastructure, and up to date information on COVID-19 outbreaks in this region will help to combat this pandemic and create more sustainable and resilient healthy societies in South Asia.

Published: June 2021

The study was conducted to quantify the change of selected climatic variables (rainfall, relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperature) over 50 years at Rajshahi and Sylhet districts in Bangladesh. Annual, seasonal, and monthly climatic data comparisons have been executed between 1968-1992 and 1993-2017 through trend analysis. The Mann-Kendall statistic and Sen's Slope model were used to reveal the trends and estimate the magnitude of change respectively. Prediction of the climatic variable of 10 years (2018-2027) was made based on the ARAR algorithm using MaxStat Pro software. Rainfall data were used to analyze drought by using climatic indices (De Mortone Aridity Index, IdM; Seleaninov Hydrothermic Index, IhS; Donciu Climate Index, IcD). Average rainfall was decreasing dramatically in monsoon season at Rajshahi and in both premonsoon and monsoon seasons at Sylhet. The negative change of average rainfall in the monsoon at Rajshahi from 1968-1992 to 1993-2017 was found 29.17 mm. The maximum temperature was increasing in all seasons in both Rajshahi and Sylhet. Annual Mannkendall trend test and Sen’s slope revealed that relative humidity was decreasing and maximum temperature was increasing significantly at Sylhet for the period 1993-2017. At Rajshahi, during 1968-1992, relative humidity was increasing by 0.247 % per year, and minimum temperature was decreasing 0.049℃ per year. Rainfall was decreasing insignificantly in both time scales. ARAR algorithm predicted that average maximum temperature might become comparatively higher than the previous 50 years. 1992 and 2010 were identified as drought years from all climatic indices, and 1969, 1981, and 1997 as excessive wet years at Rajshahi. No drought events were identified during 1968-2017 at Sylhet and the year 2017 to be an excessively wet year. IhS predicted 2020, 2025, and 2027 as drought years and 2024 as an excessive wet year at Sylhet.

Published: June 2021

The study was carried out to observe growth, production and profit of prawn, stripped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and corsula mullet (Rhinomugil corsula) at different stocking ratio under polyculture in the Bagerhat district for four months. The experiment was designed as a randomized block design and had three treatments based on stocking ratio with three replicates in each treatment. Juveniles of prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and fingerlings of fin fishes (stripped mullet and corsula mullet) were stocked at a stocking ratio of 3:1:1, 4:1:1 and 5:1:1/m2 in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Prawn and fin fishes were fed with a commercial diet and farm made formulated feed on a daily basis. Recorded water quality parameters were within suitable ranges of prawn and fish culture. Higher growth (43.0 g) of the prawn was achieved in T1 followed by T2 (41.0 g) and T3 (38.0 g), but prawn growth was not significantly different between T1 and T2. The growth and survival rate of prawn, stripped mullet and corsula mullet were lower in T3, where the stocking ratio was higher. Higher production of the prawn was obtained in T2 (1148.0 kg/ha) than those of T1 (954.6 kg/ha) and T3 (1083.0 kg/ha). But significantly (p<0.05), higher production of stripped mullet was found in T1 (650.0 kg/ha) and T2 (579.5 kg/ha) than T3 (500.5 kg/ha). Similarly, higher production of corsula mullet was found in T1 (850.0 kg/ha) and T2 (834.9 kg/ha) than T3 (719.8 kg/ha). However, combined production and net profit of prawn and fin fish farming were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T2 (2562.4 kg/ha, BDT 277,384.51/ha) followed by T3 (2303.3 kg/ha, BDT 229,693.95/ha) and T1 (2454.6 kg/ha, BDT 179,393.31/ha). So from a production and economic point of view, polyculture of prawn and fin fish at a stocking ratio of 4:1:1/m2 is more profitable compared to other stocking ratios and this system may be suggested to disseminate at coastal farmers’ level.

Background:Stable angina forms a significant proportion of coronary artery disease. Newer non-invasive modalities with good predictive values like CT coronary angiography and myocardial perfusion imaging are available, they are not feasible for widespread use. In this scenario, we can use the ECG parameter (P wave dispersion) as a non-invasive, efficient and cost-effective tool for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis in chronic stable angina. Objective: To find out the association between P wave dispersion in electrocardiogram and angiographic findings by coronary angiogram in patients with chronic stable angina. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from July 2018 to June 2019.Patients with chronic stable angina who were undergoing invasive coronary angiography was included in this study. A total of 45 patients were included in the study. Immediately after admission, standard 12 lead ECG was recorded at a 50 mm/s paper speed and a gain of 10 mm/mV. P wave dispersion are calculated from the standard ECG during sinus rhythm in any of the 12 ECG leads. Finally, all the enrolled patients underwent invasive evaluation by coronary angiography. The severity of CAD was assessed by Gensini score. Results:The mean PD was 23.3±8.1 millisecond in patients without CAD, 37.1±7.6 millisecond in single vessel disease, 45.3±9.1 millisecond in double vessel disease and 45.9±9.4 millisecond in triple vessel disease, which were statistically significant (p<0.05) among four groups.There was a significant correlation of PD (P wave dispersion) with Gensini score (r=0.631; p=0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that there is a significant association of PD (P wave dispersion) with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with chronic stable angina.

Konuyla alakalı öncü çalışmaların tamamında nüfus sayımların asli amacının yeni kurulmuş Mansûre Ordusu için insan kaynağının tespiti ile cizye mükelleflerinin belirlenmesi olduğu konusunda hemfikirdir. Bununla beraber ilk sayıma dair bir talimatnamenin halen bulunamaması sebebiyle bu tahrirlerin tam olarak neye göre yapıldığı belirsizdir. Bu bağlamda örneğin askere alınacak nüfusun hangi özelliklere sahip olması gerektiği yahut da hangi yaş/yaşlardaki kişilerin askere alınacakları net bir şekilde belli değildir.

Literatür bu konudaki açıklamalar için sayıma dair çeşitli yazışmaları ve bunların pratiğe yansımaları olan nüfus defterlerini merkeze koymaktadır. Bu belgelerden hareketle sayım esnasında askerlik yapabilecek olanların belirlenebilmesi için nüfus defterlerinde kaydedilenlerin isimlerinin altına mim (م ) harfinin konulduğu araştırmacılar tarafından belirtilmektedir. Özellikle bu konudaki öncü çalışmaların doğru olarak tespit ettiği sayımın askerî gayesi ve bunun öne çıkartılmasına rağmen bu çalışmaların hiç birisinde ordunun yeniden teşekkülüne dair mevzuat ile nüfus sayımının bağlantısı kurulamamıştır. Bu çerçevede çalışmada nüfus sayımlarının ve nüfus defterlerinin Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye Kanunnamesi ile olan bağlantılar incelenmektedir.
SOVYETLER BİRLİĞİ, LOZAN ANTLAŞMASI VE TÜRKİYE
Authors: BEKCAN Umut
Published: June 2021

Sovyetler Birliği (SSCB), Türkiye’nin Kurtuluş Savaşı’nı destekledi. Türkiye, SSCB gibi Marksizm-Leninizm temelinde sosyalist bir ideolojiye sahip değildi. Emperyalist devletlerle mücadele ortak paydası Türkiye’ye yurt savunmasında SSCB’den antiemperyalizm ideolojik desteği ile silah ve cephane yardımı almasını sağladı. Emperyalist devletlerin hakim olmadığı Türkiye, SSCB için tampon görevi gördü ve kuşatılmaktan kurtardı. Kuşkusuz, SSCB’nin bu politikasının ideolojik temeli/sebebi vardı. Doğu halklarının, ezilen/yoksul halkların kendilerini sömüren güçlü, emperyalist devletlere karşı uyanmasını/ayaklanmasını, ilk aşamada ulusal devrimlerini gerçekleştirmelerini istiyordu. Savaşın sonunda imzalanan Lozan Antlaşması, Türkiye için bir zaferdi. Türkiye’nin topraklarını düşmanlardan temizlemesi SSCB için de memnuniyet vericiydi. Hatta SSCB, Lozan’ı egemen bir devletin kurulmasını sağlayan, Türkiye halkının ulusal direniş ve manevi canlanma yolunu açan bir antlaşma olarak değerlendiriyor, geçmişteki Türk (Osmanlı) hükümetlerinin hayal bile edemeyeceği büyük bir kazanım olarak görüyordu.

Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada iki temel varsayım ortaya kondu. Birincisi, SSCB’ye göre Lozan Antlaşması, Türkiye için büyük bir başarı olsa da antlaşma aynı zamanda batılı ülkelere bir taviz anlamına geliyordu. Ayrıca, konferans süreci anti-Sovyet bir ortama sahipti. Türkiye’nin batılı ülkelerle uzlaşması/uzlaşma süreci SSCB’yi dışlamayı da beraberinde getirmişti. İlkiyle bağlantılı ikinci varsayım ise; savaşlardan yorgun düşen Türkiye, ülkenin ve yeni sistemin/rejimin inşası için en kısa sürede barışı sağlamayı amaçlıyordu. Bir başka deyişle, SSCB’nin taviz içerdiğini düşündüğü antlaşma ve öncesi süreç, Türkiye’nin barış mücadelesini ve gerçekçi bir dış politikayı yansıtıyordu.

Çalışmada öncelikle, Büyük Taarruz’un sona ermesinden Lozan Antlaşması’nın imzalanması kadar olan süreçte SSCB’nin taviz olarak görüp eleştirdiği noktalar ve anti-Sovyet hava üzerinde duruldu. Ardından SSCB’nin bu eleştirel bakışına adeta cevap niteliğindeki Türkiye’nin bu dönemde uyguladığı politikanın nedenleri ortaya kondu.
TÜRK YUNAN İLİŞKİLERİNDE KISA ÖMÜRLÜ BİR GİRİŞİM: TÜRK-ELLEN DOSTLUK DERNEĞİ (1952)

Atatürk-Venizelos öncülüğünde Türkiye ve Yunanistan arasında kurulan iyi ilişkiler II. Dünya Savaşıyla kesintiye uğramıştır. Savaş sırasında işgal edilen, sonrasında ise iç savaş yaşayan Yunanistan Batı bloğuna yaklaşmıştır. Türkiye de Sovyet tehdidi ve ekonomik kaygılarla kendisine aynı blok içerisinde yer bulmaya çalışmıştır. Ortak kaygılar ve hedefler iki ülkeyi yaklaşık on yıl sonra tekrar birbirine yaklaştırmıştır. İsmet İnönü’nün Cumhurbaşkanlığında başlayan bu yakınlaşma, Türkiye’deki iktidarın değişmesiyle birlikte ivme kazanmıştır. NATO’ya giriş için benzer çabalar gösteren iki ülke, 1950 yılında başlayan Demokrat Parti döneminin özellikle ilk yarısında iyi ilişkileri zirveye taşımıştır. Birçok alanda işbirliği içerisine girilmesinin yanı sıra, karşılıklı olarak üst düzey resmi ziyaretler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yunanistan’a giden Cumhurbaşkanı Celal Bayar, Başbakan Adnan Menderes, Dışişleri Bakanı Fuat Köprülü’ye karşılık; Yunan Dışişleri Bakanı Sofokles Venizelos ve Yunan Kralı Pavlos Türkiye’ye gelmişlerdir.

Kuruluşu 1930’lara dayanan ve Atina’da bulunan Türk-Yunan Birliği bu resmi ziyaretlerde ön plana çıkmıştır. 1952 yılında Türk tarafında da bu dernekle eşgüdümlü çalışacak bir Türk Yunan Dostluk Derneği kurulması gündeme gelmiş ve hızlı bir şekilde hayata geçirilmiştir. Türk-Ellen Dostluk Derneğinin başkanının İstanbul Valisi ve Belediye Başkanı Fahrettin Kerim Gökay olması, kuruluş aşamasında bu girişime büyük bir önem verildiğini göstermektedir. Üyeleri ise siyaset, ekonomi ve sanat dünyasından Türk ve Yunan uyruklu önemli şahsiyetler olmuştur. Bu kadrosuna rağmen 1952 yılı boyunca sadece resmi ziyaretlerin karşılama-uğurlama gibi kısımlarında görünür olan dernek, Kıbrıs gerilimiyle birlikte sessiz sedasız kaybolmuştur. Yine de Türk-Ellen Dostluk Derneği 1950’lerin ilk yarısındaki Türk-Yunan ilişkilerinin sembollerinden biridir. Bu makalede dernekten geriye kalan tek derli toplu kaynak olan dernek tüzüğü, dernek üyelerinin de çalıştığı dönemin gazeteleri ve devlet arşivleri kullanılarak bu kısa ömürlü dostluk derneği ve faaliyetleri anlatılacaktır.

Published: June 2021

Multiple paternity is common to all sea turtle species, but its causes and consequences are hard to ascertain and the behaviors and success of males difficult to observe. This study aims to describe patterns of multiple paternity for olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea at Playa de Escobilla, an ‘arribada’ (mass-nesting) site on the Mexican Pacific coast with over a million clutches laid each reproductive season. A total of 15 females and their hatchlings were sampled during 3 arribada events which occurred over the 2016-2017 nesting season. Females and hatchlings (N = 329) were genotyped at 5 microsatellite loci, from which we inferred the alleles of 46 contributing males. Multiple paternity was detected in 60% of the analyzed clutches, which were sired by a range of 2 to 7 males. Multiple paternity rates differed significantly across arribada events, suggesting more males achieved fertilizations earlier in the breeding season. Paternal contribution in 6 of the clutches with multiple paternity was skewed towards a single male; the remaining clutches had a homogeneous male contribution. However, our results are based on relatively small within-arribada sample sizes. The frequency of multiple paternity among turtle clutches laid on this arribada beach could be related to the density of breeding individuals in the reproductive patch off Playa de Escobilla, rather than to the nesting population size or female size.
A Study on the Stability of TiO2 Nanoparticles as an Electron Transport Layer in Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes
Authors: Kim Moonbon , Kim Jiwan
Published: June 2021

We report highly efficient and robust quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) with Li-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as an electron transport layer (ETL). As core materials, ZnO-based inorganic NPs can enhance the performance of QLEDs due to their suitable energy level and solution processability. However, their fast electron mobility and instability in organic solvents are two main obstacles to practical display applications. The colloidal stability of TiO2 NPs in ethanol was confirmed after three day-storage, while ZnO NPs showed severe agglomeration. Inverted structure QLEDs using 3% Li-doped TiO2 NP were successfully fabricated and their optical/electrical properties were investigated. With 3% Li-doped TiO2 NPs, the charge balance in the emitting layer of the QLEDs was improved, which resulted in a maximum luminance of 159,840 cd/m2 and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.12%. These results were comparable to the performance of QLEDs with commonly used ZnO NPs. Moreover, the QLEDs with the Li-doped TiO2 NPs showed more stable characteristics than those with ZnO NPs after 7 days in ambient conditions. The EQE of the QLEDs with Li-doped TiO2 NPs was reduced by only 4.9%. These results indicate that Li-doped TiO2 NPs show great promise for use as a solution based inorganic ETL for QLEDs.

Published: June 2021

Solid solutions and composites of a mixture of (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) and SrTiO3 (ST) were respectively synthesized by different process routes using a conventional solid state reaction. All starting materials were mixed simultaneously and calcined at 800 oC for 4 h to obtain the solid solutions of KNN-ST. Meanwhile, the composites of KNN-ST were obtained by mixing the synthesized KNN and synthesized ST, respectively. KNN-ST calcined powders were sintered at 1150, 1250 and 1300 oC for 2 h. The calcined powders, in which all starting materials were mixed at once, showed a single-phase pseudo-cubic structure after sintering. On the other hand, the powders with the mixture of KNN and ST had two phases of cubic ST and orthorhombic KNN as composites. The dielectric loss values of all samples decreased as the sintering temperature increased because of increased densification. The dielectric constants of the solid solutions were increased as the sintering temperature increased, however, the dielectric constants of the composites decreased with increasing sintering temperature. It was concluded that, for enhanced dielectric properties, the dielectric materials should be synthesized as solid solutions.
Indigenous Materialisms andDisciplinary Colonialism
Authors: Hokowhitu Brendan
Published: June 2021

As a starting point, this article looks at the nexus between New Materialisms and Indigenous Studies, concluding that the New Materialists' almost entire failure to interact with Indigenous knowledges and scholarship whilst employing the nomenclature ‘new’, is merely another over-exaggerated example of western claims to knowledge itself. The majority of the article discusses Indigenous Materialisms more specifically, introducing a new framework for defining eras of colonialism, namely ‘sovereignty colonialism’, ‘biopolitical’ or ‘disciplinary colonialism’, and ‘ security colonialism’. In the final third of the article, I focus on ‘biopolitical’ or ‘disciplinary colonialism’ in particular, fleshing out notions such as Indigenous materiality preceding thought, the materialism of colonisation including colonial sport, and the agency of Indigenous bodies to resist.

Authors: Kurniawan Dian Agus
Published: June 2021

Light is a source of energy that is needed in human life. In hospitals, artificial lighting is very necessary, especially in operating rooms that are impermeable to natural light and must be sterile from room bacteria. Artificial light exposure that does not meet the SNI standard for room lighting causes various problems. Therefore, in this study, a tool to control the intensity of artificial light according to the SNI standard in hospitals was designed. This research uses measurement, calculation and comparison methods. The first measurement is to measure the value of the light intensity of the lamp, then measure the temperature value in the room, the last one is to sterilize the room bacteria. From these measurements, values ??are obtained to be compared in reaching conclusions. From this research, it can be concluded that the monitoring system with the LDR light sensor can read the value of the light intensity properly according to the digital lux meter in the morning at 400 lux, 200 lux in the daytime, and 120 lux at night. Then the DHT-11 sensor can read the temperature value in the room according to the HTC comparison with the morning temperature is 25 degrees, daytime 29 degrees, afternoon 27 days, and night is 24 degrees. To help kill room bacteria, a Utraviolet lamp is used with a light for 2 hours in the morning.
