Authors: Gusztafik Ádám , Halasi Sabolc , Koltai Miklós
Published: November 2022

Data measured in the U15–U19 age groups at the football academy were analyzed during the research (N = 70). These data comprised Body Mass, Height, YYIR1, 30 m running, FMS, and SLJ, Locomotor parameters using the 6-week averages of Catapult OptimEye S5, mechanical performance parameters. The players did well in the motoric tests: YYIR1 (M = 2155, SD = 311), 30 m (M = 4.34, SD = 0.26), and SLJ (M = 2.28, SD = 0.18), and the different age groups underwent dynamic improvement. The young soccer players ran 19,552m players ran 568, 298, and 97 m in the moderate-, high-, and sprint-intensity zones. The athletes’ maximum speed was M = 26.72 km/h (SD = 1.74). The differences between the age groups were justified statistically in each case.

The EQUATOR Network – a New Web Resource for Good Reporting of Health Research
Authors: Editorial Team
Published: November 2022

Too often, good research evidence is undermined by the poor quality of scientific reporting. The EQUATOR Network http://www.equator-network.org is a new initiative that seeks to improve the quality and reliability of health research literature.

EQUATOR Network has launched a new website that provides unique access to collated expertise and resources for good reporting of health research. The resources are aimed at researchers (authors of research articles), journal editors, peer reviewers, and developers of reporting guidelines.

The most important website feature is a collection of reporting guidelines (see http://www.equator-network.org/index.aspx?o=1032). The last decade saw an expansion in the development of guidelines that specify minimum criteria for reporting various study designs. Of these guidelines, CONSORT, for reporting randomised controlled trials (see http://www.consort-statement.org) and QUOROM, for systematic reviews (see http://www.consort-statement.org/mod_product/uploads/QUORUM Statement 1999.pdf) are probably the best known. The EQUATOR site brings all available resources under ‘one roof’ and its team is extensively networking and searching to keep the collection up-to-date.

To become a truly useful resource for its users, the EQUATOR Network plans further development and a set of key deliverables, including:

a Web-based Resource Centre with easy access to reporting guidelines and other information;

training courses for authors, editors and peer reviewers, to facilitate transparent and accurate reporting and use of reporting guidelines;

support to the developers of reporting guidelines;

annual assessment of how journals implement reporting guidelines;

annual audit of reporting quality across the health research literature.

Professor Doug Altman, one of the key movers of the CONSORT initiative, is leading the EQUATOR project. The EQUATOR Network international steering group includes leading experts in the fields of health research methodology, reporting and editorial work.

Funding

The UK NHS National Knowledge Service provided the initial funding for the project. However, in order to have any meaningful impact on the quality of reporting of research publications we need to secure more funds from different organisations. Funding opportunities for various EQUATOR activities are outlined on our website.

Authors: Villa Chris S. Matugas Sweetney , John P. Aro Gabriel , Dan Solibaga II Sherwin , A. Paclipan Angelica , G. Micabalo Kingie
Published: November 2022

Rice is an essential commodity and a staple food in the Philippines; the implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law further aims to reform the rice sector and address the rice shortage. This research study aims to determine the implications of Republic Act No. 11203 or Rice Tariffication Law to the rice trading industry in Mandaue City, particularly in the rice retail sector, and know how it affects the three aspects: supply, demand, and price of rice. This research is a qualitative study utilizing the Phenomenological Approach. The researchers used a purposive sampling technique where participants were determined based on the already set qualifications by the researchers and interviewed ten (10) participants who were the rice retailers from Mandaue City. The gathering of data was in the form of an online semi-structured interview aided by a researcher-made interview questionnaire as a primary instrument used. The researchers then utilized Colaizzi’s seven-step method for the data analysis. The findings revealed that the law provided positive and negative implications for the rice trading industry, particularly the rice retail sector. The positive implications, such as an increased rice supply and a wide variety of rice options, placed the participants at an advantage. In contrast, the negative implications revealed an intense degree of competition and low sales of local rice products. The law also affected the supply by having a lesser supply of local rice but more supply of the imported ones. In the aspect of demand, it causes an increase in the demand for imported rice, while in terms of price, it appears that imported rice is cheaper than the local rice.

Published: November 2022

Establishing a business in the midst of the pandemic is very challenging since there are more factors and regulations to be considered leading to inevitable changes in the business operation to adapt with the current situation. This study aims to analyze the adaptability measures implemented by newly established food and beverage businesses. This study utilizes a quantitative approach specifically, a correlational research design to investigate the relationships between the variables with the use of a researchers’ made survey questionnaire. The instrument was distributed to twenty-three (23) respondents chosen through a convenience sampling technique based on their availability and their willingness to take part in the study. Chi-square of independence, T-test, frequency and percentage were used for data analysis. From the result, the business profile of the respondents does not affect its capability and choice of what adaptability measures it implements. In addition, the respondents were able to implement effectively the measures that they planned beforehand, as there was no significant difference with the adaptability measures during the planning and operations stage. Financial adaptability measures had the highest aggregate mean, which means it is highly implemented and highly extensive to profitability as well. This study concludes that adaptability measures regarding finance both during the planning and operations stage are significant as it affects how a business generate sales, cost, expense, and ultimately profit. Most of the other adaptability measures do not affect the profitability of the business although it is still important to be adaptable in terms of marketing and human resource.

Published: November 2022

This study investigated the domestic vessel onboard trainees perceived seamanship competencies vis-à-vis the minimum requirements of STCW 1978 as amended in the Maritime Education College of the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue. Categorically, this study determined the respondents' profile in terms of age, gender, type of domestic vessel boarded, and year completed academic requirements. Furthermore, it defined the perceived deck function 2 technical competencies, the relationship between the profile and the perceived competencies of the cadets, the significant difference in their technical competencies when grouped according to profiles, and the conclusion, recommendations, and the proposed action plan. The study used the descriptive-correlational method, and one hundred BSMT offshore domestic cadets were chosen as respondents. The study was conducted at the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue. The researchers utilized an STCW-based checklist to gather the data needed. Frequency count, percent, Chi-square, and Kruskal-Wallis were used to treat the data collated. The study revealed a notable gap between the perceived competencies in ensuring satisfactory trim, stability, hogging, and sagging. It also determined a significant relationship between profile and gender and the perceived competencies. Moreover, the study showed no significant difference between the technical competencies when grouped according to profile. The results concluded that the success of producing quality seafarers is the primary responsibility of the maritime institute to ensure a globally competitive STCW '95 (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping) compliant maritime education graduates.

El uso de películas comestibles es una tecnología para alargar la vida útil de los alimentos. La adición de nanopartículas de plata (AgNPs) podría mejorar el desempeño de películas comestibles y evitar el crecimiento de microorganismos que podrían afectar a los alimentos. El objetivo fue elaborar y caracterizar AgNPs mediante síntesis verde y evaluar el efecto de su adición sobre las propiedades mecánicas y de barrera de películas formadas a partir de proteína de Cajanus cajan y goma de la semilla de Tamarindus indica. Para la síntesis de AgNPs se utilizó extracto acuoso de Annona muricata. Tres diferentes formulaciones de películas se elaboraron las cuales contenían AgNPs, extracto acuoso de guanábana y agua (control). Las películas fueron evaluadas en términos de su permeabilidad al vapor de agua (WVP), color, opacidad y propiedades mecánicas. Las AgNPs incrementaron el doble el módulo de Young de las películas (0.0675 MPa) y la fuerza de tensión (2.84 MPa) con respecto al control. Además, las AgNPs influyeron estadísticamente en el color y opacidad de la película. Sin embargo, no se observaron diferencias en la PVA. La adición de AgNPs a recubrimientos podría ser una opción para incrementar la vida útil de alimentos.

Dose per Pulse Monitoring of MeV Photon Beams
Authors: Pettinato Sara , Salvatori Stefano
Published: November 2022

Modern dynamic radiotherapies in cancer treatment are oriented to release high dose values in the shortest irradiation time. For these techniques, fast detectors and dedicated conditioning electronics will play a fundamental role for beam diagnostics to verify the necessary quality assurance requirements of treatments. This work describes a measurement system based on a single-crystal synthetic diamond able to monitor the dose released by each X-ray pulse generated by a medical LINAC. A gated-integration method, performed by a specifically designed electronics, has been used to measure the charge photogenerated in diamond by each impinging X-pulse. Exploiting the synchronization signal available in a LINAC apparatus, our system allows performing pulse-beam diagnostics with an acquisition time limited to the period around each pulse. Therefore, the proposed solution represents an effective tool for real-time dosimetry in modern radiotherapy applications and assures a better accuracy in comparison to conventional electrometer-based measurement systems that require longer acquisition periods.

Authors: Troitskaya N. I. , Shapovalov K. G. , Mudrov V. A.
Published: November 2022

Background. Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the complications of diabetes mellitus, which could result inthe development of purulent-necrotic lesions of soft tissues or amputation. Nitric oxide and endothelin-1 plays key role in endothelium dysfunction, thus contributing to the pathogenesis. Objective. To evaluate the frequency of genotypes of the C786T polymorphism of the eNOS gene and the LYS198ASN polymorphism of the END1 gene in a group of patients with diabetic foot syndrome and a group of healthy donors living in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Design and methods. In 100 healthy individuals and 198 patients with a mixed form of diabetic foot syndrome, polymorphisms were studied by PCR. The statistical significance of differences was assessed using Pearson’s chi-square test. Results. The C/C and T/T genotypes of the C786T polymorphism of the eNOS gene were more common in patients (1.2 times and 2.1 times, respectively), while the incidence of the C/T genotype was 1.4 times lower. The LYS/LYS genotype of the LYS198ASN polymorphism of the END1 gene was more frequently observed in the control group, while K/N and ASN/ASN genotype was detected 1.7 and 2.2 times more often in the patients, respectively. Conclusion. Frequency differences in genotypes of the polymorphisms of eNOS and END1 genes in patients with diabetic foot syndrome and healthy individuals confirm their contribution to the endothelial dysfunction.
Modern view on the treatment of oncological diseases by endovascular methods
Authors: Gorbatykh A. V. , Latkin O. E. , Prokhorikhin A. A. , Zubarev D. D. , Chernyavsky M. A.
Published: November 2022

In recent decades, the multidisciplinary development of medicine has led to an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the development of oncological diseases. The idea of malignant neoplasms as heterogeneous objects containing cells with different genetic backgrounds made it possible to explain the selective effectiveness of one type of treatment for a certain part of the tumor cells in a patient. Numerous targeted therapies have formed the cornerstone in the treatment of various malignancies, alone or in combination with other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery and interventional radiology.Interventional oncology covers both diagnostics and treatment. Its methods are minimally invasive and highly specific to the patient. Currently, personalized procedures are actively develop and allow to detect cancer cells, selectively contact and treat them. Another important problems is to evaluate drug delivery and uptake in order to make adjustments to the treatment based on the received data from the procedures and, ultimately, to predict the response. Here we will consider such interventional oncological procedures and innovative methods that are under development as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), oily transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE), catheter intra-arterial delivery of nanoparticles etc. Thus, interventional oncology has unique opportunities for selective impact on tumor lesions not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for a wide range of minimally invasive percutaneous treatments.
Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms rs2200733 and rs10033464 at chromosome 4q25 and thyrotoxic atrial fibrillation
Authors: Ponomartseva D. A. , Hushkina A. Yu. , Kostareva A. A. , Babenko A. Yu.
Published: November 2022

Background. Thyrotoxic atrial fibrillation (TAF) genesis does not exclude a genetic component due to the difference in thyroid hormones effects on the cardiovascular system in similar patients. According to genomewide association studies (GWAS), the first locus associated with non-thyrotoxic atrial fibrillation (AF) was locus 4q25, and the first single-nucleotide polymorphisms in it identified as risk factors for AF were polymorphisms rs2200733 and rs10033464. Their connection with TAF remains unclear.Objective. To investigate the possible association of the two single nucleotide polymorphisms rs2200733 and rs10033464 with TAF.Design and methods. The association of TAF and other thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy manifestations with the studied polymorphisms was examined in a sample of 150 patients with Graves’ disease and overt thyrotoxicosis, 18.7 % of whom had TAF. Genotyping was preformed using real time PCR.Results. A significant predominance of TT genotype for both polymorphisms was revealed: p=0.038 for rs10033464, p<0.001 for rs2200733. TT genotype frequency in TAF patients compared with non-TAF participants: 7.4 % vs 1.6 % for rs10033464, 17.9 % vs 0.8 % for rs2200733. When assessing the frequency of genotypes depending on the presence of other thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy manifestations, TT genotype was more common in patients with ventricular premature beats, p=0.001.Conclusion. TT genotype of rs2200733 and rs10033464 polymorphisms at 4q25 locus is associated with a higher incidence of TAF and ventricular extrasystole in thyrotoxic patients.

Extremo Oriente y el Perú en el siglo XVI
Authors: Iwasaki Cauti Fernando
Published: November 2022

Este es un libro que reconstruye historias e itinerarios de peruleros en Oriente y de orientales en el Perú durante el siglo XVI. Sin embargo, mucho antes de que llegaran al Perú los primeros libros sobre China y Japón, ya existía en aquella frontera de Occidente una conciencia del Oriente. Esa larga y secular obsesión que permitió a su vez el encuentro de varios mundos: el griego y el troyano, el árabe y el cristiano, el europeo y el americano. Por una sutil ironía, el hechizo del Oriente sumerge al Perú en la más antigua de las tradiciones de Occidente.

Writing is one of the four language skills that students and the last language skill in language learning. Even in the academic field, especially at the university level, the urgency of these skills is very large in learning activities, which we know that student work requires writing skills, especially for writing a thesis and dissertation. At the tertiary level, learning writing skills is divided into three stages: directed writing, free writing, and academic writing. This research uses a descriptive method. The data collection technique uses document techniques, in-depth interviews and participant observation. The results of this study are; First: Teachers of the Arabic Language Development Program have conducted an evaluation using a portfolio strategy in learning to write to obtain information about the results of student assignments. The teacher / lecturer implements this strategy by collecting all student work during the learning process, which contains the work results that have been checked by the lecturer and corrected by the students according to the notes given. Second: the positive factor of this strategy is to improve students' ability to evaluate themselves during the writing process, and students can learn from their mistakes and be able to improve their independent writing competence. The negative factors are the problems in the students' writing examination activities which are divided into three parts; the timing is not right, the students 'writing is not understandable, and the assignments are not in accordance with the lecturers' instructions. One of the obstacles faced by the lecturer in determining the results is when the assignments that have been collected by students are put into a portfolio containing paper folders, while some paper assignments are not put in that folder.

Published: November 2022

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menakar kebijakan affirmative action dalam sistem kepartaian. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum empiris yaitu penelitian tentang bekerjanya hukum (law in action) di masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kebijakan afirmasi yang ditegaskan dalam sistem kepartaian di Indonesia belum sepenuhnya dilaksanakan oleh internal partai politik. Hal ini terbukti dalam beberapa partai politik diantaranya Golkar, PKS, PAN, Demokrat, dan Nasdem yang dalam Anggaran Dasar dan Anggaran Rumah Tangga belum tertuang pasal yang mengatur kuota 30% keterwakilan perempuan. Maka dapat dipastikan bahwa Anggaran Dasar dan Anggaran Rumah Tangga tersebut cacat dan jika Anggaran Dasar dan Anggaran Rumah Tangga tersebut diuji dalam konteks Undang-Undang Partai Politik, maka dapat dipastikan partai tersebut melanggar. Affirmative action telah diatur dalam ketentuan nasional. Undang-Undang Partai Politik dan Undang-Undang Pemilihan Umum. Namun pada tataran praktis, kebijakan tersebut belum memberikan kepastian, kemanfaatan dan keadilan.

Authors: LU Yu
Published: November 2022

"Harmony" and "Unity" are important concepts in ancient Chinese philosophy and the basic spirits of traditional Chinese culture, which advocate seeking a harmonious coexistence based on differences. The ideas of harmony and seeking common ground while reserving differences can also be found in Indonesia's traditional culture and its modern concept of building a state, which is naturally similar to the Chinese concepts of "Harmony" and "Unity". In the context of contemporary social development, which is increasingly globalized, diversified, and complicated, the communication and understanding of the common ideology of the two countries is conducive to the mutual absorption and integration of different cultures, and also to the construction of a community with a shared future based on mutual tolerance, interdependence and joint development.

This study aims to identify the differences in agroecological zones on changes in body weight, litter size, and profitability of Bligon goats in Bantul District, Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study involved 56 farmers consisting of 11 farmers in coastal areas (zone IV), 21 farmers in the lowlands (zone IV), and 24 farmers in hilly areas (zones I, II, and III). This study also used 120 does of Bligon goats consisting of 40 goats from each area. The farmers and Bligon goats were selected by purposive sampling technique in different agroecological zones classified based on the slope of the land. The design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the agroecological zones as a treatment factor. This study used a survey method. Data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using one-way ANOVA at the 5% level. The results showed that the body weight of Bligon goats from the beginning of kidding to three months or at the weaning period did not have a significant difference, and the litter size was also not significantly different. Profitability analysis using Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio) and Return on Investment (ROI) showed that farmers in coastal agroecological zones have higher profitability than those in lowland and hilly agroecological zones with a net cash flow of IDR 1,219,000, 00, R/C Ratio of 1.43, and ROI of 44.26. Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that changes in body weight and litter size of Bligon goats in different agroecological zones are the same. Based on the profitability analysis, all farmers in different agroecological zones benefit from raising Bligon goats, but the highest profitability is found in farmers in the coastal agroecological zone

Sheep meat plays an important role in accomplishing balanced and healthy nutrition as a source of protein, fat, and essential micronutrients such as zinc, iron, and vitamin B12.  The amino and fatty acid composition of meat in different breeds need to be assessed to characterize and determine the development prospects of sheep that produce healthy and good quality meat. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the phenotypic characteristics of the Sapudi and Cross Merino meat sheep including the carcass performance and meat qualities. We reared four Sapudi and four Cross Merino ewes in the same feed and environmental management for two months then slaughtered and analysed the carcass, non-carcasses and chemical meat properties. We used Bicep femoris muscle to perform proximate, amino acid, and fatty acid contents. An independent t-test was conducted to compared obtained data. Heart weight and protein content were higher in Sapudi sheep. Of the 51 fatty acids observed, we found 11 and 10 types of fatty acid in the Sapudi and Cross Merino meat, respectively. The fatty acid percentage of Sapudi meat tended to have higher value compared to Cross Merino. We also found that the two breeds have the same amino and fatty acid compositions.  The levels of glycine, arginine, serine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, lysine and threonine were statistically higher in Cross Merino than Sapudi.  In conclusion, the non-carcass, crude protein, amino acid and fatty acid level were significantly different between Sapudi and Cross Merino
