Authors: Freitas Daniela Aparecida , Pereira Adriana Xavier , Fonseca Felícia , Figueiredo Tomás de
Published: September 2022

Os incêndios são problemas comuns a muitos países, como ocorre em Portugal. São países que estão sob condições climáticas favoráveis a eclosão e a rápida progressão dos fogos florestais. Esses são um dos principais fatores de degradação da terra, causando várias modificações no solo, água e vegetação. Portanto, os incêndios florestais geram grandes impactos ambientais na paisagem por onde se desenvolvem e alastram. Enquanto ocorre a queima, a cobertura vegetal e a camada orgânica são esgotadas, e o solo mineral é aquecido, resultando em mudanças nas características físicas, químicas, mineralógicas e propriedades biológicas do solo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar as modificações dos solos sob o impacto do fogo ao longo do tempo, comparando áreas ardidas e não ardidas, no Nordeste de Portugal. Para isso, foram estudadas propriedades físicas e químicas do solo. As áreas de estudo localizam-se em três zonas distintas: Freguesias de Soutelo, Parâmio e de Quintela de Lampaças, ardidas respectivamente nos anos de 2015, 2016 e 2017. Em cada área de estudo, foram escolhidas áreas de amostragem em locais que arderam e não arderam, com exceção de Quintela de Lampaças. As amostras foram colhidas aleatoriamente em 4 pontos de amostragem. Foram feitas análises em laboratório das propriedades físicas e químicas dos solos para avaliar as modificações no solo em consequências dos incêndios e da recuperação pós-fogo. Pode-se concluir que as propriedades físico-químicas dos solos sofreram alterações de forma diferente ao longo do perfil do solo e o fogo interferiu nessas propriedades que com o passar do tempo tendem a evoluir para a situação pré-fogo.
Ograniczanie obciążenia układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego osób wykonujących inspekcje ręcznych gaśnic pożarowych
Authors: Łągiewka Kamil
Published: September 2022

Podstawowym celem posiadania sprzętu gaśniczego jest możliwość wykorzystania go zawsze i wszędzie tam, gdzie zachodzi taka potrzeba, co wiąże się z koniecznością stałego utrzymywania go w nienagannym stanie technicznym. Prawidłowa inspekcja tego sprzętu składa się z kilku czynności i wymaga m.in. podnoszenia gaśnic ważących od kilku do kilkunastu kilogramów. Do tej pory osoba wykonująca inspekcję była zmuszona do podniesienia gaśnicy z podłoża, następnie – do podniesienia jej na wysokość głowy i obrócenia w taki sposób, aby móc sprawdzić, czy gaśnica nie jest uszkodzona od spodu (a w przypadku gaśnicy proszkowej – czy proszek, który się w niej znajduje, nie jest zbrylony). Wymaga to użycia znacznej siły fizycznej i obciąża kręgosłup pracownika, a tym samym zmniejsza efektywność oraz dokładność pomiarów podczas wykonywania tego zadania. Dodatkowo czynność podnoszenia gaśnicy odbywa się w pozycji nienaturalnej dla człowieka, czego konsekwencją może być uraz układu mięśniowo-szkieletowo, który wymaga długotrwałego leczenia, a niekiedy ma nieodwracalne skutki zdrowotne. Narażenie na tego typu urazy można jednak ograniczyć poprzez zastosowanie wieszaka obrotowego do gaśnic, zaprojektowanego przez autora niniejszego artykułu. To rozwiązanie zapewnia pracownikowi przeprowadzającemu inspekcję gaśnic większe bezpieczeństwo w porównaniu z tradycyjnym sposobem, ponieważ eliminuje konieczność ich ręcznego podnoszenia z poziomu podłogi i trzymania w rękach podczas całego procesu kontroli.

Published: September 2022

The people of District Sukoharjo in the Midle Java Province have traditionally use medicinal plants for maintaining their health and to cure their illness by using what so called Jamu Gendong.  The verification, validation and standardization of these medicinal plants in general, as yet, are not satisfactory. In order to obtain the better understanding of this Jamu Gendong, the Study of Ethnobotany, Phytochemistry, and Bioactivity of Sukoharjo District has been carried out in 3 Sub-Districts in March 2021 started with an interview with 9 randomly selected traditional heales then continued by literature review, to find correlatioin between traditional use, chemical constiuents and bioaktivities of those medicinal. 12 medicinal plants samples with the the highest Use Value (UV) 1 owned by Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and Galangal (Alpinia galanga), the highest Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) Value 1 was owned by Kencur (Kaempferia galanga) and (Zingiber officinale) b and the highest Relative Importance (RI) 0.75 belonged to White Turmeric (Boesenbergia rotunda) and Lengkuas (Alpinia galanga) were obtained. In general it can be concluded that most of medicinal plants used by people from the Sukoharjo District contained chemical consttiuents and bioactivities closely related to their traditional use. It is hoped that this work can be continued for more detailed work related to dosage, validatioan of the the usage, and state the standar of safety in order to obtain what is called verification, validation and standtrdization of traditional medicines
Drug utilization pattern of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in a tertiary care center
Authors: T Henry , P Sugirda , R Divakar
Published: September 2022

Background: The first COVID-19 case was reported in a Chinese province named Wuhan in December 2019, which later spread to 215 countries worldwide infecting 47.9 crores of people and caused 61.1 lakhs of deaths, until March 2022. In India alone, 4.3 crores were infected and 5.17 lakhs deaths were reported until the above said period.

Aims and Objectives: In this study, we analyze the drug utilization pattern of mainline and supportive drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19 patients admitted in a tertiary care center. The role of repurposed drugs in the prescription pattern of COVID-19 patients would also be analyzed.

Materials and Methods: The study included all the COVID-19 patients admitted in this institution between April 2021 and June 2021. These included patients were laboratory-confirmed positive cases and must have received medical treatment for a minimum of 3 days in the hospital. Pregnant women and children admitted with COVID-19 infection were not included in this study. All the data for this study were retrospectively extracted from the medical records department of the institution. A total of 420 patients have been admitted in COVID-19 ward between April 2021 and June 2021, out of which 300 case records which fulfilled the above said criteria were selected for further scrutiny.

Results: Among 300 patients, there were 192 males (64%) admitted with COVID-19 infection compared to 108 females (36%). Predominant age group of distribution of COVID-19 cases was between 50 and 60 years (42%). One hundred and eighty-eight COVID-19 cases had one or more comorbid conditions along with COVID-19 infection. There were 12 deaths among the selected 300 cases during their hospital stay. The most common combination used in the treatment of COVID-19 was an antibacterial, antiviral, antithrombotic, and an anti-inflammatory drug. About 76% (n = 228) of the admitted COVID-19 patients received this combination along with other supportive or symptomatic treatment during the stay in hospital. About 88% (n = 284) of cases had an antiparasitic drug ivermectin in a daily dose of 12 mg for a period of 5 days. Ivermectin is one among the repurposed drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19 infection. Proton-pump inhibitors such as omeprazole 20 mg twice daily in oral route or pantoprazole 40 mg in parenteral route were the supportive drugs used in most prescriptions.

Conclusion: Except the high empirical usage of antibiotics, the remaining frontline drugs for COVID-19 such as antiviral, corticosteroids, and antithrombotics were utilized in an appropriate manner. A high positive clinical outcome observed in this study can be attributed to the expertise gained by the physicians over the period of time in handling the COVID-19 infection.
Comparison of misoprostol in conjunction with oxytocin and oxytocin alone for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage during active management of the third stage of labor
Authors: John Abhay , Mahato Lalan , Devashish Kumar , Nayak Sanjay , Javed Syed , Sinha Hemant
Published: September 2022

Background: When it occurs after a cesarean section or a normal vaginal delivery, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially fatal obstetric emergency.

Aims and objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of oxytocin against oxytocin plus misoprostol in avoiding PPH during active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL).

Materials and Methods: Using simple randomization, 150 women from the labor ward of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Indore Medical College were recruited and randomly allocated to either test Group A or test Group B. Standard pharmacological treatment, including intramuscular injection of 10 IU of oxytocin and other components of AMTSL criteria, was administered to patients in Group A. In addition to the other components of the AMTSL criteria, Group B patients got the usual pharmacological treatment of 10 IU of oxytocin through the injectable route and 600 g of misoprostol through the oral route. Various characteristics of both groups were compared, including parity, gravida, delivery style, PPH etiology, blood transfusion, and surgical intervention.

Results: Mode of delivery was vaginally seen in 85% and 92% and cesarean in 15% and 8%. Etiology was uterine atony in 54% and 64%, retained tissue in 26% and 12%, laceration in 11% and 18%, and coagulopathy in 9% and 6%. Blood transfusion was needed in 27% and 57% and surgical intervention in 82% and 68% in Groups A and B, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed (P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion: The results of this study support the use of misoprostol in hospital settings as an adjunct to oxytocin since it reduces the incidence of PPH, eliminates the need for intrusive interventions, and ultimately reduces maternal mortality.

Published: September 2022

School closures during covid-19 are predicted to impact the quality decrease of graduates in the future permanently. This condition is exacerbated by the lack of public awareness of disaster risk reduction (DRR). Moreover, Disaster risk reduction management must be a priority agenda for all parties. The reactive response needs to be shifted to a proactive response to make the impact more effective. Proactive management of disaster risk reduction requires more participation from various institutions, such as government, non-government and private, and public participation. This training aims to improve teachers' knowledge, skills, and attitude toward using multi-learning platforms. The training effectiveness is measured by the gain normality test of one group pre-test and post-test design applied in research syntax to 22 students. The study results in that 1) training can improve teachers' knowledge, skills, and attitude to integrate non-natural disaster risk reduction in learning with an average of 0,33 N-Gain increases in the medium category. 2) training can improve teachers' knowledge, skills, and attitude to integrate learning multi-platforms, which increases N-Gain of 0,59 in the medium category. This research, in this regard, recommends that school is likely a place to develop a sustainable, structured, and systematic Covid-19 disaster risk reduction program.

The Scope and Application of Doctrine of Necessity in Nigeria
Authors: Bello Musa Kasim , Idris Muhammad Doko
Published: September 2022

Nigeria became an independent sovereign nation on the 1st of October, 1960 and baptized with republican status in 1963. The Constitution has been its supreme law except in few circumstances when it was suspended as a result of military putsches. Nonetheless, the constitution remains the compass that directs the ship of the country. In other words, actions of government are dictated by the supreme law commonly reiterated in the philosophy of Hans Kelsen as the grundnorm. What this presupposes is that actions of government taken outside the purview of the constitution are illegal. The Nigerian courts have declared such actions illegal and so it is because the country threads the path of constitutionalism that resonates with the concept of rule of law. However, in history, the successive leadership of the country has been faced with pressure of circumstance that require the adoption of certain measures or course of action which falls outside the law under the justification of necessity. The aim of this paper therefore, is to analyze the doctrine of necessity and its application. It will further examine the nature, concept, history and its application in Nigeria. It will also juxtapose the concept with rule of law and revolution. In the end, the paper concluded that the application of the doctrine should be guided by law to avoid being used for other purpose. The methodology used in this work is the doctrinal approach. The primary data used are employed through the use of doctrinal methodology. It is mainly the use of manual/ virtual library oriented literatures. Recourse is also heard to the consideration of various types of domestic legislations in the light of constitution as well as judicial authorities. The recommendation of this work is premised on the suggestion that the application of the doctrine should be guided by the position of the law and the courts are also urged to interpret the law with the intention to assuage the purport of applications of the doctrine by the people.

Caste, Conservative, Colonial, and State Paternalism in India's Alcohol Policies
Authors: Jolad Shivakumar , Ravi Chaitanya
Published: September 2022

Alcohol consumption in India is governed by social and moral codes and religious norms, stratified by caste and gender, and controlled by state policies. Indian alcohol policy today consists of measures ranging from high taxation to strict prohibition across different states. Our article examines whether the Western state paternalistic framework is adequate to explain the alcohol policies of India. We conduct a critical reading of texts on socio-cultural and political history of alcohol consumption, taxation, and regulation in India, and study their influence on contemporary alcohol policies of Indian states. A central theme presented in this paper is that India’s complex history, with social institutions of caste, religious conservatism, regional politics and colonialism, has created a unique complex of experiences related to alcohol, and argues for a greater alignment of Western paternalistic frameworks with Indian socio-political context. Broadly, we argue that state paternalism should be understood beyond the national and state politics of the present, and factor in the path-dependency of socio-cultural and political history of the state being examined.

Authors: Gierczak Katarzyna , Kotasińska Anna
Published: September 2022

Great Britain is perceived as a traditional immigrant country. In relation to Poland, the process of immigration to the British Isles – especially for economic purposes – intensified after 2004, with the accession to the European Union. The perception of immigrants in the UK began to change in the first months after the referendum on Brexit, when there was an increase in hate crimes, mainly xenophobic crimes. The article presents the subject of Polish economic immigrants in the United Kingdom. Based on their own research conducted among Poles living in Leicester, the authors describe the perception of this group, taking into account positive and negative features of Poles, stereotypes associated therewith or the problem of discrimination (including language discrimination).

Stochastic Movement Swarm Performing a Coverage Task with Physical Parameters
Authors: Falkowski Krzysztof , DUDA Michał
Published: September 2022

This paper describes an attempt of implementing physical parameters into a virtual swarm algorithm solution. It defines which physical parameters of the single object need to be known to properly transfer a virtual algorithm into a physical system. Considerations have been based on a stochastic movement swarm performing
a coverage task. Time to finish the task and energy consumptions were measured for different numbers of drones in a swarm allowing to designate an optimal size of the swarm. Additional tests for changing variables allowed us to determine their impact on the swarm performance. The presented algorithm is a discrete-time solution and every test is divided into steps. Positions of the drones are calculated only in time corresponding to these steps. Their position is unknown between these steps and the algorithm does not check if the paths of two drones cross between subsequent positions. The lower the time interval, the more precise results, but simulating the test requires more computing power. Further work should consider the smallest possible time intervals or additional feature to check if the paths of the drones do not cross.

Authors: ŚLESICKI Błażej , KAWALEC Adam , ŚLESICKA Anna
Published: September 2022

The article presents the description, assumptions and subsequent steps of the space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms used as a signal processing tool in radars. The possibilities of object detection using the Sample Matrix Inversion (SMI) and Data Domain Least Squares (DDLS) algorithms were compared and showned. The article shows the impact of the use of parallel programming on the computation time of both algorithms. The main aim of this study was to propose an efficient method for the real-time implementation of the STAP algorithm in airborne radar systems. The idea of using parallel programming in STAP, supported only by the preliminary research results presented above, gives a real chance for the casual implementation of the STAP algorithm in a radar operating in close to real time mode.
Comparative Analysis of Different Methods of Calculating Pressure Inside the Barrel in Post-Muzzle Period of a Shot
Authors: SZUPIEŃKO Damian , TRĘBIŃSKI Radosław
Published: September 2022

The article presents the results of calculations of the pressure of propellant gases inside the barrel in a post-muzzle period of a shot. Three methods of calculating the pressure in the barrel bore in the post-muzzle period of the shot were used in the work: the Brawin method, the method describing the outflow of gases from the barrel bore to the environment, and the method using the phenomenon of the transition of a pressure-averaging rarefaction wave from the barrel muzzle to the bottom of the combustion chamber. In the conducted tests, the obtained pressure courses were used to determine the impact of the use of various methods describing the post-muzzle period of a shot on the behaviour of the weapon automatics system operating on the recoil principle.

A comparison of the pressure courses, obtained with the use of various methods, and the recoil velocities of the elements of the recoiling assembly, determined with the use of mathematical and physical models of recoil firearm operation, showed that in the case of recoil operated weapons, the differences between the methods are small - the differences between the recoil velocities determined with the use of various methods did not exceed 5%. Both, the pressure courses and the recoil velocities of the recoiling elements of the firearm operating on the recoil principle determined with the use of various methods of describing the pressure course in the post-muzzle period of the shot are at a similar level.

Authors: Uzair Zaeem
Published: September 2022

Moringa oleifera (Moringaceae) is fast growing, drought resistant tropical tree mostly found in Asian countries. Moringa is known as miracle plant due to its numerous health benefits and biological properties. Seeds of M. oleifera contain up to 35-40% of nondrying and pale yellow oil that is being utilized for illuminations because it burns without producing smoke. The current research was aimed to investigate extracted oil percentage and physicochemical characteristics of moringa seed oil. Proximate analysis of moringa seed powder was carried out and resulted that it has moisture 6.64±0.343%, crude protein 30.60±1.105 %, crude fat 24.06±1.520, crude fiber 7.07±0.367, ash 3.61±0.046 and nitrogen free extract 28.00±1.41%.Mineral profiling of moringa seed powder was done and calcium was found in higher amount of 356.67 ±15.53 mg/g than all other minerals. Concentration of magnesium  was more prominent followed by calcium which was 285.71± 3.51 mg/g. Moringa oil was extracted by solvent and cold press extraction technique and oil percentage of solvent extracted was 24.06 % as compared to mechanical extracted which was 22.47%. Moringa oil extracted by the solvent extraction showed that it contained 0.026±0.005 % moisture, 184.473±0.567 mgKOH/g saponification value which is greater than the value obtained by the solvent extraction.

Published: September 2022

In the present study, we evaluated the influence of potassium (K) and chitosan (Ct) on sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) under water limitations. The plants of a drought tolerant sunflower hybrid viz. Hysun-33 were grown to flowering stage under normal conditions and later subjected to drought by withholding irrigation at 50 days after sowing (DAS) for two weeks. Foliar spray of K (1%) and Ct (0.1%) were applied to both normal and water stressed plants, whereas the control plants were treated with water spray (control). The role of exogenous K and Ct application in improving drought tolerance of sunflower was determined by measuring various yield parameters. The obtained data was statistically analyzed following Fisher’s ANOVA technique and difference among the treatments was tested by Tukey test at probability level of 5%. The results showed that the plants foliar sprayed with the combined Ct and K maintained the highest chlorophyll content, thereby increasing the yield attributes under water deficit conditions. Also, a marked increment in macronutrients uptake was observed by Ct + K application in drought stressed plants. Our findings suggest that the application of Ct + K is an effective strategy to improve sunflower yield in arid areas.

The renovation of agro-industrial waste to valuable form such as protein containing food is dire need of world to decrease the agricultural and industrial waste material. Pleurotus pulmonariusis a type of oyster mushroom used generally as protein rich food. Oyster mushroom is commonly used as commercial level for the protein consumption. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shells are not easily degradable in the natural environment so mushroom cultivation can easily convert the cellulosic material into protein with less effort and time. Research was conducted on the Pleurotus pulmonaris cultivation by utilizing chiefly peanut shell along with other agricultural wastes such as wheat straw, cotton straw and Paper waste. Cultivation of oyster mushroom was observed on peanut shell substrate by mixing it with cotton waste, wheat straw and paper waste. It was found that the best yield 337.68 g of mushroom was observed when peanut shell was mixed with cotton waste with maximum biological efficiency 33.38%. While the minimum yield 156.58 g was observed when peanut shell alone was used as substrate with minimum biological efficiency 18.21%.

Although addressing the complex needs and concerns of this distinct population can be difficult, mental health counselors maintain the philosophical tenants and training strengths necessary to successfully serve youth aging out of foster care. This article aims to provide counselors with the historical context, developmental framework, and specific challenges needed to better understand this population, as well as suggested counseling implications to address their unique needs by reviewing relevant literature.
Organic and bio-fertilizer inputs in coffee production system, coffee cultivation constraints and the role of coffee in coffee cultivation sectors: A review
Authors: Reshid Abafita Abawari
Published: September 2022

Coffea arabica L. is the most traded commodity and the principal source of revenue for coffee cultivation sectors in Ethiopia and its market has been growing from time to time. With the demand changing, use and consumption of natural products has been growing, so there has been greater interest in research in this area. Added to this interest, is the concern of environmental impact caused by chemical inputs. Soil fertility management strategies for improving plant nutrients and crop productivity include the use of application of composts, vermicomposts and manures, and application of bio fertilizer or microbial inoculants. Bio-fertilizer technologies can contribute to efficient utilization of limited resource of phosphorus fertilizers under low-input farming systems and guarantee the environment for livelihood. Therefore, they are a good alternative for the so called perennial field crop production organically; because in addition to their numerous activities, they have low cost, and are sustainable, safe and effective. The application of efficient phosphate-solubilizing microbial inoculants in agriculture opens up new insight for future crop productivity besides sustaining soil health. The purpose of this review is to raise potential applications of organic and bio-fertilizer inputs in coffee production system to sustain organic coffee cultivation and to elucidate the main obstacles for yield reduction in the coffee production sectors. In this regard this review has also shown that phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSMs) have tremendous potential as bio-fertilizers. This review also contains information on coffee consumption custom in Ethiopia and its role in cultural systems. Finally, this review focuses on relevant research performed and success in using bio-inoculants during the last decade that can help us improve sustainable coffee production.

Marker-Assisted Selection is selection that used for indirect selection of superior breeding animals that depend on identifying association between genetic marker and linked quantitative traits loci. Since the association between marker and quantitative traits loci depends on distance between marker and target traits. As soon as markers linked to quantitative traits loci have been identified, they can be used in selection programme of dairy cattle that is beneficial when the traits are difficult and expensive to measure and low heritability and recessive traits in dairy cattle. Therefore, Marker-Assisted Selection facilitate the exploitation of existing genetic diversity in breeding populations and can be used to improve desirable traits in dairy cattle. Indeed, currently Marker-Assisted Selection is the most widely used application of marker systems in selection of dairy breeding. Quantitative traits loci aﬀecting milk yield has been identiﬁed on 20 of the 29 bovine chromosomes. quantitative traits loci for milk yield on chromosome 1, 3, 9 and 20 are with evidence of quantitative traits loci at lower reported frequency on other chromosomes (5, 7, 10, 12, 14 17, 18, 21, 23, 27 and 29). However, the main limitation of marker-assisted selection is increased cost involved in sample collection for genotyping and complete genotype information. Hence, this paper was aimed to review trends on selection of dairy cattle based on marker assisted selection approach.

The bioavailability levels of cadmium (Cd) and (CPO) in water and polluted food has become worrisome over the years. The study was aimed at investigating the effects of concurrent food-chain simulation of cadmium and crude petroleum oil pollution on amylase activity in Wistar rats. Simulation of both Cd and CPO pollution was done in the water in which catfish were housed for 1 month at a daily dose of 4 and 0.8 ppm respectively. The fish were then used as source of protein in formulation of diet for feeding rats for 1 and 2 months respectively. The rats were granted access to drinking water at will, weighed at the end of the feeding periods and sacrificed followed by removal of the duodenal portion of the small intestine. Weight gain and intestinal/body weight ratio was measured and the activity of amylase assayed. The results showed a non-significant difference (p ˃ 0.05) in the intestinal/body weight ratio and amylase activity after 1 month of simulated pollution. While, there was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in weight gain and amylase activity after 2 months. Cd and CPO mixture therefore, has a deleterious effect on the environment and subsequently animals especially man as the final consumer in the food-chain.
