Authors: Ummah Annisa Khairun , Murdiana Sitti
Published: May 2024

Mahasiswa perantau dituntut untuk beradaptasi dan membentuk hubungan sosial yang baru setelah meninggalkan kampung halaman dan keluarga. Kegagalan mebentuk relasi baru dengan cepat akan menyebabkan mereka merasakan kesepian. Kesepian sendiri merupakan bentuk respon psikologis dari hilangnya figur kelekatan individu terhadap seseorang yang selalu ada saat dibutuhkan. Kelekatan masa bayi terus berlanjut dan tidak berubah dalam hubungan sosial ketika dewasa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh gaya kelekatan terhadap kesepian pada mahasiswa perantau di Universitas Negeri Makassar. Penelitian ini mengambil 300 subjek dari mahasiswa perantau di Universitas Negeri Makassar dengan metode accidental sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui Relationship Style Questionnaire (RSQ) untuk mengukur kelekatan dan UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 untuk mengukur kesepian. Analisa data mengunnakan uji regresi ordinal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh preoccupied, dismissing, dan fearful attachment terhadap kesepian. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi evaluasi mahasiswa perantau untuk lebih berani membangun hubungan sosial yang lebih baik.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peranan konsep diri dan self efficacy terhadap kematangan karir pada mahasiswa Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu penelitian kuantitaif. Jumlah populasi pada penelitian ini yaitu 2903orang dan sampel digunakan sejumlah 343 orang mahasiswa Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo angkatan 2019. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik non-probability sampling dengan menggunakan teknik purpossive sampling. Pada penelitian ini alat ukur yang digunakan terdiri dari skala konsep diri, skala self efficacy dan skala kematangan karir. Skala konsep diri yang digunakan peneliti yaitu skala Tennesse  Self Concept Scale (TSCS) yang diadaptasi dari Fitts (1971) yang  kemudian dimodifikasi oleh Shovia Lintina dengan nilai uji Cronbach’s Alpha sebesar 0.931. Adapun skala self-efficacy peneliti menggunakan general self-efficacy scale yang dikembangkan oleh Born, Schwarzer & Jerussalem (1999) yang telah diadaptasi ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia oleh Riangga Novrianto. Dan untuk skala kematangan karir peneliti menggunakan skala Kuesioner Kematangan Karir, peneliti menggunakan kuesioner Career Maturity yang disusun oleh Putri Nuraini  berdasarkan teori dari Crites, 1976 dengan uji validitas yang telah dilakukannya. Pada penelitian ini analisis data yang digunakan teknik analisis multiple regression dengan menggunakan bantuan software JASP 0.16 dan SPSS 22.0. Berdasarkan hasil uji regresi ganda menggunakan JASP 16.0 terlihat bahwa nilai koefisien regresi (R) menunjukkan angka 0,337 serta koefisien determinasi (R square) menunjukkan angka 0,113. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa self efficacy dan konsep diri secara bersama-sama dapat mempengaruhi kematangan karir sebesar 11,3% terhadap kematangan karir. Secara terpisah self efficacy memiliki peranan sebesar 2,1% terhadap kematangan karir sedangkan konsep diri memiliki peranan sebesar 9,8% terhadap kematangan karir. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam penelitian ini variabel yang paling mempengaruhi kematangan karir adalah konsep diri.

Authors: Al Tharf Maram , Massadeh Muhannad , Dheeb Batol I. , Abdulla Sara N.
Published: May 2024

Background:The cellulase enzyme is one of the most industrially important enzymes. Its cost represents a significant barrier to other valuable commercial products. Reducing the cost of cellulase production is an important approach. Objectives: For this purpose, this work investigated the production of cellulase enzyme using olive oil production waste (olive mill wastewater (OMW). Materials and methods: The ability of Trichoderma viride to utilize OMW as a substrate for cellulase production was studied. Optimization of cellulase production was investigated to find out the optimum OMW concentration, agitation speed, aeration rate, and cellulose addition. Results:The results showed that 75% v/v OMW submerged shake flask culture was the most suitable culture for T. viride growth and cellulase enzyme production (0.82 U/ml endoglucanase activity and 0.25 U/ml exoglucanase activity). When this culture was supplemented with cellulose, the activity of endoglucanase and exoglucanase was significantly improved (10.24 U/ml and 2.17 U/ml respectively).The agitation speed of 200 rpm enhanced the production to reach 9.1 U/ml of endoglucanase and 6.38 U/ml of exoglucanase. The effect of the aeration rate on enzyme production was studied under batch cultivation. The highest cellulase activity was at 2.0 vvm, where the endoglucanase and exoglucanase activities were 55.96 U/ml and 32.62 U/ml respectively. Conclusions: Therefore, it is claimed that OMW is a suitable medium for cellulase enzyme production after optimization of the process.

The establishment of Protected Areas is deemed of critical importance in global conservation initiatives, particularly in biodiverse regions and global biodiversity hotspots, such as the Philippines. However, the crucial role played by smaller Protected Areas in biodiversity conservation is frequently overlooked, making this a particular area of research interest. The Initao-Libertad Protected Landscape and Seascape (hereinafter – ILPLS) is one of the last remaining karst forests with natural vegetation and refuge for wildlife conservation on the island of Mindanao, the Philippines. However, the landscape component of this Protected Area is very small (ca. 506 000 m2), bisected by a road, and heavily disturbed by illegal logging and frequent tourist visits. From 2014 to 2018, we assessed the community structure and revealed patterns of bird diversity in ILPLS. We recorded a total of 814 individuals of birds from 36 species and nine feeding guilds from a total sampling effort of 558 230.40 mist-net hours in the Protected Areas' two management zones, namely the Special Protection Zone (SPZ) and Tourism Zone (TZ). ILPLS has a high level of endemism at 33% (12 species), including nine Philippine endemics and three Mindanao Island endemics. We also recorded Gorsachius goisagi, a globally threatened species categorised by IUCN as Vulnerable. Species richness was higher in the SPZ than in the TZ (p = 0.012), whereas no significant differences were observed in the Shannon index values (p = 0.101) and mean capture rates (p = 0.378) between the two management zones. Species and feeding guild assemblages did not differ between the two management zones (p = 0.939) but varied between vertical strata (p = 0.001). Here, we show how this small, protected landscape harbours a comparatively diverse bird community, including restricted-range species and species with high conservation priority. This suggests that forest fragments, even of this size, are important habitats for bird conservation efforts and should not be undervalued. We recommend extending such studies to other fragments, especially those that are still not protected, to improve our biodiversity database, further our understanding of biodiversity and fragment dynamics, and make a case for the protection of other forest fragment habitats.

Authors:   Komarov Botanical Institute of RAS, Urbanavichene Irina N. , Urbanavichus Gennadii P. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: May 2024

The lichen Parmelia asiatica (Parmeliaceae), described in 2011 from China (Yunnan province), is reported for the first time in Europe, in European Russia. Since 2013, the species has been recorded in the Russian Far East and Baikal Siberia. The majority of the records are in Protected Areas located in regions with a humid climate, where the preferred habitats are mainly foothill/mountain, humid, mixed or dark coniferous old-growth forests. A critical analysis of the herbarium specimens from the Kerzhensky State Nature Reserve (Nizhny Novgorod Region, Russia) collected by the authors in 2020 allowed us to identify a specimen as Parmelia asiatica. Before this study, only six species of the genus Parmelia were known in European Russia. The present paper contains data on the new record of P. asiatica, its morphology, the species distribution range, and its ecology. The diversity of data collected in Russian state nature reserves (including the new record) proves the need and importance of studying the lichen flora of these territories, since they represent the best-preserved, rare and unique habitats. In particular, the Kerzhensky State Nature Reserve is believed to be located near the contact zone between European and Siberian vascular and lichen flora, which is also confirmed by the here reported record of P. asiatica.

Published: May 2024

Globally food and nutrition insecurity remain a serious challenge however the situation is more sever to the groups of people living under marginal and disadvantaged society. The causes of food and nutrition insecurity are multifaceted and complex, and influenced by a range of factors including high poverty, natural resource degradation, climate change, low level of market development, uncertain food support, and inadequate policy and institutional support. Considering the acute shortage of food and nutrition facing by global population, strengthening food and nutritional security is crucial in order to feed the ever-growing world population. One of the promising approaches of promoting millets, which requires low external inputs, a novel candidate for nutrients and adapted to thrive in harsh and dry environment. These crops play an important role in global food and nutrition security, and may have potential to contribute to sustainable food systems under changing climatic conditions. Keeping in view the importance of the millets in diversifying diet as well as a source of rich nutrition, we conducted an analysis by reviewing the research articles/reports/books as well as online databases to identify the prospects of millets crops crucial for continuous supply of food and nutrition, traditionally managed genetic resources for future crop improvement and making agricultural system resilient under changing climatic conditions. Evidences suggested from the meta-analysis that as a product of generations of agricultural landrace, there are range of millet crops are rich in nutrients, resilient, and adapted to location specific agricultural environments. Such millet crops in the existing cropping systems could support diverse food systems and nutrient suppliers and represent a broad gene pool to improving crops with suitable genetic interventions in the future. The study advocates for advancement in genomics coupled with molecular breeding for improving the genetic potential of millet crops and open avenues for developing sustainable food systems. The study also emphasis on developing strategies and roadmap for future research engagement and a policy interface to facilitate conservation and management of traditional landraces and associated indigenous knowledge of cultivation and consumption while adopting sustainable production of millet crops under marginal environmental conditions.

Support for family members in routine outpatient colorectal cancer care: Development of a tailored support model
Authors:   , Samuelsson Maria
Published: May 2024

The aim of this thesis was to identify how to offer support, tailored to supportivecare needs, for family members in routine outpatient colorectal cancer care. Toachieve this, four studies were undertaken. First, support models for familymembers of persons diagnosed with cancer were mapped in a scoping review.Second, colorectal cancer specialist nurses were interviewed about theirexperiences of supporting family members of persons diagnosed with colorectalcancer. In the third study, family members were interviewed about theirconceptions of their supportive care needs across the colorectal cancer trajectory.In the fourth study, a questionnaire allowing for measurement of unmetsupportive care needs was translated into Swedish and its psychometric propertieswere evaluated in a sample of Swedish family members of persons diagnosedwith colorectal cancer. Findings indicate that existing support models that comprehensively addressfamily members’ supportive care needs are difficult to apply in routine cancercare. In routine colorectal cancer care, support for family members is evident yetunstructured, unequal, universal, and primarily offered at the time of diagnosis.At this phase, family members conceive their needs to be unimportant. Instead,supportive care needs unfold during treatment or survival. However, familymembers suppress their supportive care needs so as not to burden others.Concurrently, cancer specialist nurses avoid penetrating needs due to lack oftools, resources, and knowledge. Thus, unmet supportive care needs may end upunrecognized. Evaluations of the translated and culturally adapted questionnaireshowed promising validity and reliability for measuring unmet needs of supportin a sample of the population under study. Yet, this needs further examination ina larger sample. Findings indicate a need to address discrepancies between support and supportivecare needs, to find tools for uncovering unmet needs and to target thephenomenon that family members suppress their needs. The complexity ofsupporting family members in routine colorectal cancer care needs to be disclosedand reflected upon so support can be operationalized in a way that is equal,applicable, and appropriate. This thesis suggests supporting family membersthrough preparing them for their cancer trajectory, by encouraging recognition ofand acting on emerging needs and by offering information about where to turn ifthat occurs. Building on these actions, persisting unmet needs post treatment canbe screened for and those in need can be offered a counselor. This may help tobridge the gap between psychologically distressed family members andemotional support for the purpose of preventing negative outcomes on health.

ABSTRACT
Gunungkidul is one of the regencies in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. In 2020 Gunungkidul Regency had a high intensity of rainfall which has the potential for flooding. This study aims to determine the potential level of flood vulnerability in Gunungkidul Regency and to create a map. The process of identifying these vulnerable areas used a scoring and weighting method. This method is carried out by assigning a score and weight to each rainfall parameter, slope, height, soil type, and land use to produce a Flood Vulnerability Map in Gunungkidul Regency. The results show Gunungkidul Regency has a moderate rainfall category (2161-2287 mm/year) with an area of 67.862.24 ha (45.69%), a flat slope with an area of 50.037 ha (3.69%), a height of <100 m with an area of 67.939.4 ha (53.48%). The Mediterranean dominates soil type with an area of 79.254.82 ha (53.37%). Land use is dominated by moor with an area of 56.228.93 ha (37.86%). The level of vulnerability was categorized into three groups. About 62.58% of the area is classified as low flood vulnerability. Approximately 35.51% of the area is at a medium flood vulnerability level. About 0.71% is the area with a high flood vulnerability.

Kopi merupakan hasil perkebunan yang menjadi andalan sebagai sumber devisa negara. Kopi robusta menjadi basis produksi di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia, salah satunya Bali. Di Bali yang menjadi produksi kopi robusta terbanyak berada di Kecamatan Pupuan, Kabupaten Tabanan. Namun, dengan banyaknya jumlah produksi yang terbilang cukup tinggi kopi robusta di Kecamatan Pupuan masih banyak diolah menggunakan peralatan tradisional. Peralatan tradisioanal ini masih dipertahankan karena nilai investasi sarana pascapanen cukup tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kriteria dan subkriteria yang sesuai dalam menentukan prioritas sarana pascapanen kopi robusta, serta mengetahui prioritas sarana pascapanen kopi robusta yang dapat menekan susut kuantitas. Diharapkan penelitian ini bermanfaat untuk memberikan masukan kepada pemerintah dalam memberikan sarana pascapanen kopi robusta yang tepat kepada petani, sehingga dapat menurunkan susut kuatitas dan meningkatkan pendapatan petani. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling sebagai metode penentuan responden potensial yang kemudian dianalisa dengan menggunakan metode AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). Dari hasil analisis ini didapatkan Huller sebagai sarana yang prioritas dalam penanganan pascapanen kopi robusta dan dapat menurunkan susut kuantitas.
Abstract
Coffee is a plantation product that is a mainstay as a source of foreign exchange for the country. Robusta coffee is a production base in several regions in Indonesia, one of which is located in Bali. In Bali, the largest Robusta coffee production is in Pupuan District, Tabanan Regency. However, with the large amount of production which is quite high, Robusta coffee in Pupuan District is still mostly processed using traditional equipment. This traditional equipment is still maintained because the investment value of post-harvest facilities is quite high. This study aims to determine the appropriate criteria and sub-criteria in determining the priority of robusta coffee postharvest facilities, and to determine the priority of robusta coffee postharvest facilities that can reduce quantity losses. It is hoped that this research will be useful to provide input to the government in providing appropriate post-harvest facilities for robusta coffee to farmers, so as to reduce the loss of quantity and increase farmers' income. This study uses purposive sampling method as a method of determining potential respondents which is then analyzed using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. From the results of this analysis, it was found that Huller was an priority tool in postharvest handling of robusta coffee and could reduce quantity loss.
O lugar do muiraquitã no centro de imaginários na Amazônia brasileira
Authors: Amaral Anderson Márcio Amaral Lima
Published: May 2024

Os muiraquitãs são um dos artefatos mais conhecidos e enigmáticos da arqueologia amazônica. Neste artigo nos aproximamos de aspectos relacionados à engenhosidade da mente humana em criar e dar vida a sonhos, símbolos e imagens, em contextos individuais ou coletivos, e do papel social dado ao muiraquitã, a partir da perspectiva arqueológica relacionada às sociedades indígenas Tapajó e Konduri, que no século XVI controlavam uma extensa área no Baixo Amazonas. Veremos que a formulação, transformação e manutenção do muiraquitã em contextos amazônicos a partir de centros culturais de origem pré-colonial na região de Santarém são o resultado de complexas tessituras sociais, com raízes duráveis, que de forma intencional ou subjetiva foram incorporadas ao cotidiano do invasor europeu e perenizadas no imaginário da sociedade nacional.

Photodynamic therapy is an effective method for treating superficial forms of malignant neoplasms, characterized by a minimal risk of damage to normal tissues. In this study, we presented our experience of treating cancer of the oral mucosa using photodynamic therapy, and analyzed the immediate and long-term results of treatment. 38 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity mucosa, with a depth of invasion no more than 7 mm, were included in the study. All patients underwent photodynamic therapy with chlorine e6 based photosensitizer. Photosensitizers were administered intravenously 3 hours before irradiation, at a dosage of 1 mg/kg of the patient’s weight. Photodynamic therapy was performed with the following parameters: P – 1.0 W, Ps – 0.31 W/cm2, E – 300 J/cm2. The area of one irradiation field ranged 1.0-2.0 cm2. Treatment effect was evaluated by RECIST 1.1. Overall survival, cancer-specific survival, and disease-free survival were calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Evaluation of adverse events was made by .TCAE 5.0 criteria. At 35 (92.1%) out of 38 cases, complete regression was observed after photodynamic therapy. Among them in 3 out of 35 patients relapse was diagnosed in 11.5 to 43.2 months. The total number of patients who didn’t respond to treatment was 6 (15.8%). Follow-up period was 4.2-87.3 months. (mean 42.9). 34 (89.5%) out of 38 patients are alive, 1 (2.6%) died from progression, and three died from other causes. The 5-year overall survival rate was 82.1%, cancer-specific survival rate was 97.0%, and disease-free survival rate was 81.1%. Among the factors significantly (p < 0.05) influencing relapse-free survival: depth of invasion < 5 mm (p – 0.013) and the presence of leukoplakia (p – 0.007). When assessing cancer-specific survival, factors worsening the prognosis were: age >70 years (p – 0.034) and the presence of leukoplakia (p – 0.007). Photodynamic therapy is an alternative treatment method of oral cancer superficial lesions, in case of proper assessment of primary lesion and in case of possibility of full irradiation of the tumor. Moreover, after using photodynamic therapy, the underlying connective-muscular structures are preserved, which promotes rapid healing with minimal scarring, the functions of the affected organ remain intact, and cosmetic defects do not form.

Published: May 2024

Background: Concern of metal sensitization in pre- and postsurgical evaluation is growing, with the recent guidelines remaining the criterion standard for consideration of patch testing. Information remains scarce on surgical screening in the groups of patients who reported
a history of metal sensitivity versus those with no reported history. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the utility of patch testing in surgical candidates based on reported metal allergy history. The secondary objective was to evaluate the utility and
outcomes in postsurgical patch testing. Methods: Nine hundred and thirty-one patient charts of patients with the diagnosis of “contact dermatitis” who underwent an evaluation at a single allergy clinic site between January 2013 and December 2022 were identified
and reviewed as part of a retrospective chart review study. Patients were included in subgroups based on the time of patch testing and history of reported metal allergy. Results: In all, 67 patients underwent patch testing, 10 (14.9%) of whom were surgical candidates without
a history of metal sensitivity, 31 (46.2%) of whom were surgical candidates with a history of metal sensitivity, and 26 (38.8%) of whom were postsurgical patients. Twenty-nine (43.3%) of patients had positive patch testing results, with only one (10%) in the presurgical group, 17 (54.8%) in
the presurgical with a history of metal sensitivity, and 11 (42.3%) in the postsurgical group. Zero patients in our cohort without metal sensitivity who were undergoing the Nuss procedure had positive reactions on patch testing, whereas two of four (50%) with reported metal sensitivity who
were undergoing the Nuss procedure had positive relevant metal reactions. Conclusion: Ambiguity in the utility of patch testing for surgical decision making remains, despite common utilization. Recent guidelines along with coordination of care among the surgeon, allergist,
and patient remains the criterion standard of care.

Background: Liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB) is a crucial agent in the treatment of invasive fungal diseases caused by a wide variety of yeasts and molds. In the presence of an infection caused by a fungal agent resistant to alternative antifungal drugs, desensitization may
be the only option to continue treatment. However, there is insufficient information and consensus with regard to amphotericin B desensitization protocols in the pediatric age group. Objective: We present our experience with five cases of patients in whom successful desensitization
protocols were applied with LAMB, along with a review of the literature on pediatric cases. We also provide a sample desensitization protocol that we successfully applied. Methods: Pediatric patients who continued their treatment with the successful rapid desensitization
protocol conducted at the Paediatric Allergy and Immunology Clinic of the Ministry of Health Ankara City Hospital between September 2019 and September 2023 were examined. Desensitization protocols were applied based on Castells’ desensitization protocol. Results: Five
patients ages between 5 and 12 years were referred to us due to the development of anaphylaxis during their treatment with LAMB. Anaphylaxis is diagnosed clinically, according to the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology guidelines: anaphylaxis (2021 update). A 16-step desensitization
protocol was prepared by using LAMB solutions at four different dilutions (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/mL). Each solution consisted of four steps, with a 15-minute infusion for each step. The patients were premedicated with 1 mg/kg/dose methylprednisolone and an antihistamine. Conclusion:
The data we present on the successful application of a sample protocol to five cases, particularly in a pediatric setting, are noteworthy valuable contributions to the field, which demonstrates the feasibility and success of rapid desensitization with LAMB in pediatric patients. This can
provide important insights and potentially serve as a reference for medical professionals working with similar cases in the future.
Hereditary angioedema with normal C1 esterase inhibitor: Current paradigms and clinical dilemmas
Authors: Radojicic Cristine , Anderson John
Published: May 2024

Background: A diagnosis of hereditary angioedema (HAE) with normal C1 esterase inhibitor (HAE-nl-C1-INH) can be challenging and pharmacologic management is not well defined. Objective: The objective was to discuss practical considerations in the clinical
management of HAE-nl-C1-INH by using illustrative clinical vignettes to highlight and/or address select challenges. Methods: This was a narrative review. Results: Symptoms of HAE-nl-C1-INH overlap with HAE types I and II; the heterogeneity of presentation
and symptom burden are diagnostic challenges. A patient history, with particular attention to whether urticaria or other symptoms of mast cell mediator release are present, is important because such symptoms would strongly suggest a mast cell‐mediated pathway. A family history of angioedema
is informative but a lack thereof does not rule out diagnosis. Expected laboratory findings would be normal for C4, C1-INH level and function, and Complement 1q; a genetic mutational analysis may be helpful, but current assays do not include all known mutations; most cases are categorized
as unknown. To align with guideline-directed treatment approaches, the following stepwise approach is suggested for suspected HAE-nl-C1-INH: (1) thoroughly investigate the possibility of response to histaminergic and/or mast cell‐targeting treatments; (2) if patients with normal C4,
C1-INH level and/or function fail adequate trials with histamine/mast cell-directed therapy or have a mutation that suggests bradykinin pathway involvement, follow HAE type I and II treatment guidelines. Response to medications approved for HAE types I/II provides compelling support for a
high clinical suspicion of HAE-nl-C1-INH. De-labeling an HAE-nl-C1-INH diagnosis may be appropriate if the initial diagnosis was made without adequate evaluation or if new information and/or testing indicates that the patient does not actually have HAE. Conclusion: Key
unmet needs in HAE-nl-C1-INH include lack of confirmatory biomarker(s) for diagnosis and lack of prospective controlled clinical studies of pharmacologic products in this patient population.

Background: Asthma and allergic rhinitis are pathologically interlinked conditions. Despite skin testing (ST) being pivotal for evaluating allergic sensitization, U.S. data that date back to 1960s on ST reactivity patterns in subjects with asthma remain sparse. Objective:
The purpose of this study was to elucidate seasonal, perennial ST responses, and their relationship with asthma severity, early versus late onset disease, and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Methods: Five hundred patients with asthma were randomly selected from the National
Jewish Health electronic medical record over a 3-year span. Demographic, clinical, and allergen ST reactivity data for a battery of seasonal and perennial allergens were procured, including total IgE levels, asthma onset, and severity, by using t-tests, χ2 tests, and
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), patterns of reactivity were assessed for overall, seasonal, and perennial allergens in relation to IgE levels, asthma onset, and severity. Results: Of the 500 patients, 398 were analyzed. 63.3% were women, 50.1% had adult-onset asthma, and
86.1% had rhinitis; 75.3% tested positive to one or more allergens, with men demonstrating higher overall (p = 0.039) and perennial (p = 0.035) sensitization. ST reactivity varied based on the presence of rhinitis for seasonal (p = 0.028) but not perennial
(p = 0.733) allergens. Asthma severity was not significantly associated with ST reactivity (p > 0.10). ST positivity for perennial (p < 0.001) but not seasonal (p = 0.128) allergens was higher in childhood-onset asthma versus adult-onset
asthma despite both groups having a large percentage of reactors. Elevated IgE levels correlated with ST reactivity (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Our study represents a unique comprehensive evaluation of ST reactivity in a U.S. asthma population, which is lacking
in the literature, when factoring in asthma onset, severity, and IgE levels. Our findings underscore the importance of allergen sensitization in asthma, regardless of severity, concurrent rhinitis symptoms, or asthma onset, which challenge some of the prevailing assumptions about the relationship
between allergen sensitization and asthma onset.

Published: May 2024

In contemporary classrooms, characterized by students who are digital natives with a firm reliance on mobile phones, integrating these devices into educational activities presents an opportunity to enhance learning experiences and increase engagement. This qualitative case study investigates undergraduate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of using smartphones for learning activities in a Teacher Education Program (T.E.P.) technology course at a 4-year institution in the U.S. The researchers sought to examine how the use of smartphones influenced the students’ learning experiences. Understanding students' experiences can inform the development of strategies to enhance technology-integrated lessons and foster improved learning environments. The findings indicated that students had positive experiences with using smartphones in class. They found the devices to help enhance online learning security and were reliable, versatile, and affordable compared to other forms of technology. The ability of the devices to download and accommodate a variety of educational materials was also a valuable attribute for the students. However, challenges associated with unrestricted phone access in the classroom, including the risk of addiction, distraction, decreased engagement, and concerns regarding academic integrity, were reported. As smartphones become integral to our learning environment, educators should establish policies promoting responsible usage to optimize students' learning potential rather than imposing bans. The researchers propose that institutions invest in innovative software solutions to manage smartphone usage proactively. This approach enables students to enhance their focus and productivity during crucial learning moments while mitigating distractions posed by mobile phones.

This investigation was performed to study the possibility of the utilization of fennel seed powder (FSP) and turmeric seed powder (TSP) at levels of (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5%) as natural preservatives during the preparation of burgers stored at a refrigeration temperature (4 ± 1oC). The obtained results revealed that, FP and TP significantly reduced the total count of bacteria, pH, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA). Furthermore, the results showed that by increasing the concentration of tested powders, the bacterial counts, pH, and TBA values were dropped, with the concentration of 4.5% providing the highest effectiveness. Comparatively, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Turmeric ether extract (TEE) were higher than of Fennel ether extract (FEE). In conclusion, fennel and turmeric can play an important role as antioxidants and antibacterial agents in refrigerated burgers.

Lipases are triacylglycerol hydrolases (3.1.1.1) that under aqueous condition catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides. Lipases are the ubiquitous enzymes with their applications ranging from food industry to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and bioremediation purposes. The present research involves 16S rDNA sequencing of a lipase producing strain isolated indigenously. The strain was identified as a novel Pseudomonas stutzeri SN-3, the gene sequence of which was deposited in GenBank with accession number MH639065. The research design also includes the exploration of alternative fermentation conditions for maximum production of triacylglycerol hydrolase from the novel strain. Different physical and chemical parameters were studied which includes temperature, pH, fermentation time course, nitrogen sources, carbon sources, phosphate sources, different salts and their concentrations for getting optimal yield of triacylglycerol hydrolase. Utilization of olive oil for production of lipases is a conventional approach, which is quite costly for commercial applications; therefore, palm oil was incorporated in cultivation medium as an alternative cheap substrate for triacylglycerol hydrolase production. Enzyme yield from Pseudomonas stutzeri SN-3 was optimized by using 1 gm% palm oil and 4 gm% yeast extract as carbon and nitrogen sources respectively in the presence of 2 gm% CaCl2 as enzyme stabilizer and 0.01% KH2PO4 as bacterial growth promoter. The maximum enzyme production was observed after 48 hours of fermentation with medium pH 7 at 37 ⁰C. Conclusively, we had a novel Pseudomonas stutzeri SN-3 specie and a cost-effective and eco-friendly medium for commercial production of triacylglycerol hydrolase.
