Authors: YILDIZ Özgür
Published: December 2022

Sakarya Meydan Muharebesi, 22 gün 22 gece süren Türk-Yunan mücadelesidir. Üzerinden 100 yıl geçmiş olan bu muharebe, bir milletin bağımsızlığı için verdiği büyük mücadelenin adıdır. Mondros Mütarekesi sonrası, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk önderliğinde başlayan, Türk İstiklal mücadelesi ilk aşamada halkın direniş hareketleriyle şekillenmiştir. Kuvayı Milliye güçleri özellikle Batı Cephesinde düşmanın ilerlemesini engellemekle kalmamış zaman zaman durdurmuştur. Düzenli ordu oluşuncaya kadar Millî Mücadele liderine ve sonradan oluşan TBMM’ne zaman kazandırmıştır. Düzenli ordunun oluşması, Doğu ve Güney cephesindeki toparlanmalar artık Batı’da Yunanistan ile köklü bir mücadele yapmanın zamanının geldiğinin habercisi olmuştur. Batı cephesinde; Birinci İnönü ve İkinci İnönü Muharebelerinde elde edilen başarıların sevinçle karşılanılmasına rağmen Kütahya Eskişehir Muharebelerinde yaşanan geri çekilme moralleri bozmuştur. Bunun üzerine Türk Milleti tarihinin ve kaderinin en önemli savunma savaşlarından birini vermek zorunda kalmıştır. Araştırmada 22 gün 22 gece süren bu mücadeleler; tetkik eserler, T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivi Başkanlığı’ndan elde edilen arşiv belgeleriyle desteklenerek kısaca değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, Üzerinden 100 yıl geçmiş olan Sakaya Meydan Muharebesinin yaşadığımız yüzyılın bakış açısıyla aydınlatılma çabasıdır.

Published: December 2022

Tuna Nehrinden Çin Seddi’ne kadar geniş bir alanı içerisine alan Bozkır coğrafyası konar –göçer toplumlar için zorlu iklim ve arazi şartlarını da beraberinde getirmektedir. Avcı-göçebe bozkır toplumlarında hayatın merkezinde at olsa da kurt motifi bu coğrafyanın kıymetli bir sembolü olarak bozkır insanının yaşamının her alanında yerini almış, bozkır sosyal hayatının içerisine adeta sinmiştir. Sadece sosyal hayatın değil dini yaşamın içerisinde de başlı başına bir kültür olarak varlık göstermiştir. Hem sürüye kurdun girmesi ve sürünün tehlikeye girmesi anlamında Kurt motifi şekillenirken daha da önemli olarak Türk topluluklarının en zor anında yol gösteren kutsal kurtarıcı ve rehber olarak değer kazanmıştır. Kurdun Türk sosyo-kültürel yaşamına da bu kadar tesir etmesindeki en önemli etken onun ecdad/ata olarak görülmesidir. Türk aile yaşamında baba/ata kavramının üstlenmiş olduğu büyük misyon, ataerkil toplum yapısının varlığı, bu önemi tetiklemiş, kurda karşı duyulan saygının en üst düzeylere çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Evlerinin kapılarına kurt başı asan bozkır toplulukları bu gelenek ile bir babanın ailesini koruduğu gibi kurdun da haneyi ve hane halkını koruyan kutsal bir ruha sahip olduğuna inanmaktaydı. Koruyan bir yüce ruhu sadece sosyal hayatlarında değil, siyasi, iktisadi ve askeri yaşamlarında da önemli sembollerinden biri olarak görmüşlerdir.
Impact of shafting angle of F5 cold rolling mill on the dynamics of main drive system
Authors: Jia Xingdou , Wang Shen , Yan Xiaoqiang , Yang Wenhao
Published: December 2022

In view of the torsional vibration problem of the main drive system of the F5 rolling mill in a steel plant, two sets of torque monitoring sensors were installed on the cross universal joint shaft on site. Through online monitoring, it is found that the torsional vibration frequency of the cross universal joint shaft is twice the rotational frequency of the drive system, and the vibration amplitude of the upper shaft is greater than that of the lower shaft. Considering the influence of the inclination angle of the cross universal joint shaft, the transmission system can be simplified as a multi-body dynamic model of a five-inertia spring-mass system. Combined with the effect of the rolling torque of the strip and the electromagnetic torque of the main motor on the main drive system, a simulation model considering multi-physics coupled torsional vibration was established MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation shows that the torsional vibration frequency changes linearly with the rolling speed, which is always twice the rotational frequency of the transmission system, and the vibration amplitude also changes with the rolling speed, consistent with the field test results. As the diameter of the work roll increases, the angle of inclination of the universal joint shaft decreases, and the value of the torsional amplitude of the system also decreases. When the inclination angle is not considered at all, the torsional vibration of the system disappears, it shows that the inclination angle of the cross universal joint shaft is the root cause of the double rotational frequency torsional vibration of the main drive system. Since the inclination of the cross universal joint cannot be eliminated, the simulation results show that the torsional vibration of the transmission system can be effectively reduced by using large-diameter work rolls and reducing the stiffness of the upper cross universal joint while increasing the stiffness of the lower universal joint. When the lower shaft stiffness increases to 1.3 times, the upper shaft stiffness decreases to 0.8 times, and the work roll diameter is 425 mm, the torsional vibration amplitude of the upper connecting shaft decreases by 22.3 % at the rolling speed of 1200 m/min.
Analysis on the seismic wave caused by low frequency sound source in shallow sea based on multi-transmitting formula artificial boundary
Authors: Lu Zaihua , Ma Yun , Chen Dandan
Published: December 2022

The elastic waves propagating in seabed caused by sailing ships are called ship seismic waves, which can be used to identify ship targets. The wave components and the influences of source frequency, source depth and depth of seawater to the seismic waves are important to the application of seismic wave to detect ship targets. Thus, a forward numerical simulation of seismic waves in shallow sea excited by low frequency sources in time domain was carried out with finite element method based on the Multi-Transmitting Formula artificial boundary. The numerical results show that the body waves and conical waves decay faster in space, but the interface wave decays relatively slow. Multi-transmitting Formula (MTF) artificial boundary has achieved good transmitting effect for longitudinal wave, upstream and downstream acoustic wave and transverse wave. When the source frequency is very low and the seawater layer is shallow, due to the effect of low-frequency cutoff, there is no normal mode wave which can propagate without attenuation in the seawater waveguide, and only the interface wave is propagating near the sea bottom surface. When the frequency of the source or the depth of the seawater layer increases, the effect of low frequency cutoff in the shallow water waveguide is weakened, and the normal mode waves propagating in seawater layer are gradually excited. The intensity of the interface wave caused by low-frequency point sound source mainly depends on the distance between the source and the seafloor.

Published: December 2022

Quadcopters are playing an increasingly important role in a variety of industries due to their numerous advantages over other types of aircraft. Additionally, quadcopters are susceptible to damage, and their repair can be costly. On the other hand, today, reliability is recognized as a critical design feature in most industries. A device's reliability is one of the most important and complex issues in the field of engineering since it provides engineers with an insight into how a device performs. Due to the fact that reliability is a major factor in all industries and can significantly affect the quality and life of products, we analyzed the reliability of a quadcopter using statistical relationships, mathematical models, and previous experiences. After examining the failure modes and their effects on the system, the effects of the quadcopter failures are analyzed using the FMEA method, in order to determine the cause and mode of the failure. Finally, to determine the causes of failure, we have checked the quadcopter by the FTA method to minimize the possibility of failure. The purpose of this article is to discuss definitions and concepts in the field of reliability, followed by an analysis of the quadcopter and its components.

Authors: Inal Hasan Ali , Ozturk Inal Zeynep
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the demographic and stimulation characteristics, treatment results, and pregnancy outcomes of infertile couples who applied to our assisted reproductive technology center vary according to the calendar year.
STUDY DESIGN: The original files of 949 patients who underwent assisted reproductive technology treatment were analyzed between January 2012 and December 2017. Assisted reproductive technology cycles were classified according to year and also basal parameters and assisted reproductive technology outcomes were compared by year.
RESULTS: Female age, infertility period, baseline follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol levels, duration of stimulation, total gonadotropin dose required, peak E2 level, and endometrial thickness on human chorionic gonadotropin administration day were statistically significant between the groups (p<0.05). While a statistically significant difference was observed in fertilization rate (p<0.05), the following were comparable between the groups (p>0.05): number of retrieved and MII oocytes, two pronuclei, day of transfer, embryo transfer technique, single vs. multiple embryo transfer, rates of the Grade-I embryo, biochemical and clinical pregnancy, live birth, ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage.
CONCLUSION: Infertile women of reproductive age benefit from assisted reproductive technology when trying to become pregnant. Factors that could adversely affect assisted reproductive technology, such as advanced age, have a negative impact on the treatment’s success. These repercussions should be taken into account by infertile couples who consider delaying pregnancy.

La mortalidad infantil es uno de los eventos de interés en salud pública a nivel mundial. En el caso del departamento de Antioquia el número de muertes en menores de 5 años ha disminuido casi a la mitad desde el año 2000 hasta el año 2019. Sin embargo, tras la llegada de la pandemia se ha descrito un ligero incremento en la mortalidad por desnutrición (DNT), infecciones respiratorias agudas (IRA) y enfermedad diarreica aguda (EDA), pasando de una tasa de mortalidad infantil de 0.9 a 2.2 muertes por 1000 nacidos vivos para el primero de los eventos descritos; en el caso de IRA el cambio fue de 4.8 a 5.2 muertes por 1000 nacidos vivos y para EDA la variación fue de 1.1 a 1.9 por cada 1000 nacidos vivos (1). Esto podría estar asociado a un comportamiento sindémico (2) asociado a los efectos generalizados de COVID-19, por lo que se requieren de esfuerzos mancomunados para hacerle frente a esta situación.
Como parte del plan de respuesta a contingencia por el incremento de casos de Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas, en el departamento de Antioquia y con el fin de fortalecer las competencias del talento humano en salud, líderes comunitarios, personas relacionas con la infancia, educadores y padres de familia, se desarrolla el foro: Atención Integral a las Enfermedades Prevalentes de la Infancia (AIEPI) en su componente comunitario: como una imprescindible en tiempos de sindemia en el auditorio de la Facultad Nacional de Salud Pública, por parte de la Gobernación de Antioquia en articulación con las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES): Corporación Universitaria Remington, Universidad de Antioquia y Universidad CES.
Reducing disinfection byproduct precursors through coagulation enhancement as particle weight and size control using potassium permanganate
Authors: Bayomi Ahmed M. , Souaya Eglal R. , Ismail Eman H. , Mohamed Gehad G. , Hussein Mahmoud Mohamed Fouad
Published: December 2022

The widespread use of chlorine pre-oxidation in water purification has been limited in several countries owing to the production of carcinogenic byproducts when combined with naturally occurring organic matter. This study investigates the efficient use of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) pretreatment and coagulation enhancement as particle size and molecular weight distribution controlling parameters. KMnO4 pretreatment significantly reduced the apparent molecular weight of humic acid due to KMnO4 reduction and the continuous generation of manganese dioxide (MnO2) formed in situ under neutral and alkaline conditions. The MnO2 formed in situ had adsorption characteristics that enabled it to form large and stable flocs with the hydrolysis products of aluminum sulfate. However, under acidic conditions, KMnO4 pretreatment exhibited strong oxidation characteristics due to Mn(VII) reduction to Mn(II), and the mean particle floc size was the same as without KMnO4 pretreatment. Overall, KMnO4 pretreatment is a useful alternative strategy for traditional pre-oxidation using chlorine and a good coagulant enhancement agent in neutral and basic media.
God, an Event of Proximity, Narrated in Luke 10:25–37
Authors: Bedoya Bonilla Diego Fernando
Published: December 2022

The so-called “phenomenological turn” proposes a return to the world of lived experience, overcoming the rigidity of classical ontology. In this sense, theology also proposes to speak of God migrating from the world of the concept to life itself. Keeping in mind, then, that God gives himself in history as a Mystery of infinite love, it is necessary to find a new category that can express him, being faithful to the biblical testimony. The category chosen is “event,” as proposed by Claude Romano, who understands the event (happening) as the irruption of the unexpected that significantly affects everything that comes into contact with it. The parable of the Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37) reveals God as an event of loving proximity, who mercifully bursts in through the actions of a Samaritan who saves the life of a seriously wounded man. The confirmation of the possibility of using the category “event” to speak of God is given only by means of a narrative method, for which we make use of the hermeneutical contributions of A. Wénin, who makes narrative the most appropriate language to express God’s traits, in this case, his merciful closeness.
Katafatyczność i apofatyczność słowa Bożego w świetle misterium Wcielenia
Authors: Zatwardnicki Sławomir
Published: December 2022

Współczesnej fascynacji teologią apofatyczną towarzyszy jej niewłaściwe rozumienie. Teologia apofatyczna staje się krytyką objawienia i zostaje sprowadzona do teologii negatywnej ujmującej relację między Stwórcą a stworzeniem dialektycznie. Autor artykułu zaprezentował najpierw krytykę takiego rozumienia teologii apofatycznej, jakiej dokonał Robert Woźniak. Następnie autor rozwinął poglądy polskiego teologa w oparciu o wypowiedzi III Soboru w Konstantynopolu. W drugiej części artykułu, w dialogu ze współczesną myślą teologiczną oraz w odwołaniu do twórczości Pseudo-Dionizego Areopagity, autor dokonał spekulatywnego namysłu nad tytułową kwestią. Pozwoliło to na wyeksponowanie relacji Pisma z wolą Logosu, a także związku słów biblijnych z obecnością Słowa. Przedstawiono także propozycję katafatyczno-apofatycznej interpretacji Pisma Świętego. Ukazano również, w jaki sposób uniżona postać słowa Bożego służy przebóstwieniu człowieka.
A Theological Perspective on the Phenomenon of Creation in Transgenic Art
Authors: Pędrak Anna Justyna
Published: December 2022

Bioart or transgenic art is a new and rapidly developing form of artistic activity that uses genetic engineering techniques to create a new and unique form of life. The article explores the creation and manipulation of life through the examples of three types of transgenic art projects: works by Eduardo Kac, performance, and the creation of semi-living organisms. The main aim of the article is to present the phenomenon of bioart against the background of fundamental dogmatic truths concerning creation and man, and then to draw theological conclusions. The addressed issues concern interspecies boundaries, bioartists’ interference with life, and man’s place in the world. An analysis and reflection of this kind reveals the transcendental nature of life in terms of its creatureliness in relation to God, places fundamental truths at the forefront, refers to theological and biblical terminology, and shows theological anthropology as the most appropriate place to understand the essence of life.
Tropowana antyfona maryjna Salve Regina w XV-wiecznym psałterzu oliwetańskim z Łodzi
Authors: Wiśniewski Piotr
Published: December 2022

Artykuł przedstawia nieznaną dotąd w piśmiennictwie naukowym tropowaną wersję najstarszej i najbardziej popularnej antyfony maryjnej, jaką jest Salve Regina, zanotowaną w jedynym dotychczas zidentyfikowanym w Polsce rękopiśmiennym psałterzu oliwetańskim. Teksty dodane do oryginalnej postaci tej antyfony, która w swej treści jest przyzywaniem orędownictwa Maryi, by wyjednała u Boga ludziom zbawienie, nazywają Ją Matką Kościoła, Panną łaskawą, Matką Boga i Gwiazdą morza. Tytuły te, stanowiąc litanijne zawołania do Najświętszej Maryi Panny, komentują Jej przymioty: łaskawość, litościwość i słodycz. Rozszerzenie w ten sposób oryginalnej antyfony o nowe treści teologiczne dowodzi, że modlitwa ta cieszyła się szczególną popularnością wśród wiernych zwracających się do Maryi, by wysłuchała ich próśb i otworzyła im drogę do Nieba.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie kluczowych aspektów obecności Kościoła w przestrzeni wirtualnej oraz wskazania dróg, jakimi należy podążać, aby przesłanie Ewangelii skuteczniej docierało do użytkowników sieci. Rezultatem dokonanej analizy jest odpowiedź na pytanie, w jaki sposób Kościół może skutecznie wychodzić z propozycjami ewangelizacyjnymi do ludzi skupionych w przestrzeni wirtualnej, uwzględniając wymagania jakościowe XXI wieku. Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy wskazują, iż Kościół ma wiele możliwości krzewienia wiary w cyfrowym świecie. Liczne formy wymagają jednak stałej pracy nad jakością przekazu, który ma służyć skutecznemu przepowiadaniu. Dużą popularnością cieszą się portale stanowiące agorę dla współczesnych katolików. Istnieje jednak wiele zagrożeń prowadzących do błędów pastoralnych, wobec których należy podjąć działania zmierzające do ograniczenia ich oddziaływania na odbiorcę. Internet, jako ambona, wymaga, aby prowadzona w nim działalność charakteryzowała się przystępnym, a równocześnie zakorzenionym w doktrynie przekazem fundamentów wiary.

The brotherhood of hate: Hyper-masculinity, same-sex desire and far-right identity in Brotherhood
Authors: Cameron-Gardos Paris
Published: December 2022

The narrative of Danish director Nicolo Donato’s 2009 film, Brotherhood, demonstrates how both the coming out and outing of a gay Neo-Nazi creates dramatic moments of transformation within the film’s storyline. As a result, the audience has to confront the representation of unstable and asymmetrical acts of sexual, social, and political identification. These moments of identification involve acts of violence and betrayal that lead to the creation of a fluid sexual identity on screen. This article examines the choices of the characters within the film and the homosocial world that those characters purposely construct. In order to carry out that examination, key aspects of contemporary Danish political culture are assessed with a view to better understand the ascendency of the far right, anti-migration rhetoric, and the centrality of that political culture within the stories that are told in Brotherhood. The collisions within the Neo-Nazi group over what defines hyper-masculinity, family, violence against migrants, and same-sex desire are best observed through an interdisciplinary analysis that combines film, queer, and sociological research. In the film, a violent, hyper-masculine Neo-Nazi authors a coming-out moment that is both unique and tragic. This assessment of the collisions between homosociality and homoeroticism in the lives of these men creates space for the important and productive analytical deconstruction of hyper-masculinity in a fictionalized Danish far-right political movement.

Published: December 2022

This article explores the contradictory relationship between identity politics and environmental conservation in Brazil. First, the rationale for setting aside territories for ethnic groups in Brazil that have been historically discriminated against is examined and legal definitions for such traditional populations are presented. Second, ethnographic and philosophical critiques of essentialized ethnic identity are used to highlight how traditionality and conservation are conflated in Brazilian environmental policies. These policies, in turn, are related to another bundle of contradictions in Western bio-centric preservation which (erroneously) essentializes nature and excludes the human presence from within reserves. Research findings from two remote regions located in critical biomes for conservation in Brazil are presented succinctly to illustrate different kinds of contradictions between ethnic territories and conservation. In conclusion, a relational research agenda is offered which avoids the pitfalls of essentialized identity and nature.

In recent years, many rural regions of Central Europe have witnessed a massive inflow of non-EU nationals, turning them into new migration destinations (NDMs). The majority of these regions were not prepared for this change and international migration became a hot-button topic. However, as the negative consequences of demographic change are getting more prominent in rural Central Europe, these regions should search for new ways to stimulate the integration of newly-arrived migrants. This can be done with the help of “social innovations.” This paper provides a literature overview on the aforementioned topics, as well as an analysis of the results of the Arrival Regions Project (Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE) that tested nine different social innovation approaches to support the integration of non-EU nationals in rural Central Europe. The results of the project confirmed that social innovation approaches are an effective and easy-toimplement way to support integration of non-EU nationals living in rural Central Europe.
Gamified Physical Rehabilitation for Older Adults With Musculoskeletal Issues: Pilot Noninferiority Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Randriambelonoro Mirana , Perrin Franck Caroline , Herrmann François , Carmona Gorki Antonio , Geissbuhler Antoine , Graf Christophe , Frangos Emilia
Published: December 2022

Background

Resource-rich countries are facing the challenge of aging societies, a high risk of dependence, and a high cost of care. Researchers attempted to address these issues by using cost-efficient, innovative technology to promote healthy aging and regain functionality. After an injury, efficient rehabilitation is crucial to promote returning home and prevent institutionalization. However, there is often a lack of motivation to carry out physical therapies. Consequently, there is a growing interest in testing new approaches like gamified physical rehabilitation to achieve functional targets and prevent rehospitalization.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a personal mobility device compared with standard care in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with musculoskeletal issues.

Methods

A total of 57 patients aged 67-95 years were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=35) using the gamified rehabilitation equipment 3 times a week or to the control group (n=22) receiving usual standard care. Due to dropout, only 41 patients were included in the postintervention analysis. Outcome measures included the short physical performance battery (SPPB), isometric hand grip strength (IHGS), functional independence measure (FIM), and the number of steps.

Results

A noninferiority related to the primary outcome (SPPB) was identified during the hospital stay, and no significant differences were found between the control and intervention groups for any of the secondary outcomes (IHGS, FIM, or steps), which demonstrates the potential of the serious game-based intervention to be as effective as the standard physical rehabilitation at the hospital. The analysis by mixed-effects regression on SPPB showed a group×time interaction (SPPB_I_t1=–0.77, 95% CI –2.03 to 0.50, P=.23; SPPB_I_t2=0.21, 95% CI –1.07 to 0.48, P=.75). Although not significant, a positive IHGS improvement of more than 2 kg (Right: 2.52 kg, 95% CI –0.72 to 5.37, P=.13; Left: 2.43 kg, 95% CI –0.18 to 4.23, P=.07) for the patient from the intervention group was observed.

Conclusions

Serious game-based rehabilitation could potentially be an effective alternative for older patients to regain their functional capacities.

Authors: Khati Antoine , Wickersham Jeffrey A , Rosen Aviana O , Luces Jeffrey Ralph B , Copenhaver Nicholas , Jeri-Wahrhaftig Alma , Ab Halim Mohd Akbar , Azwa Iskandar , Gautam Kamal , Ooi Kai Hong , Shrestha Roman
Published: December 2022

Background

The use of smartphone apps can improve the HIV prevention cascade for key populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM). In Malaysia, where stigma and discrimination toward MSM are high, mobile health app-based strategies have the potential to open new frontiers for HIV prevention. However, little guidance is available to inform researchers about the ethical concerns that are unique to the development and implementation of app-based HIV prevention programs.

Objective

This study aimed to fill this gap by characterizing the attitudes and concerns of Malaysian MSM regarding HIV prevention mobile apps, particularly regarding the ethical aspects surrounding their use.

Methods

We conducted web-based focus group discussions with 23 MSM between August and September 2021. Using in-depth semistructured interviews, participants were asked about the risks and ethical issues they perceived to be associated with using mobile apps for HIV prevention. Each session was digitally recorded and transcribed. Transcripts were inductively coded using the Dedoose software (SocioCultural Research Consultants) and analyzed to identify and interpret emerging themes.

Results

Although participants were highly willing to use app-based strategies for HIV prevention, they raised several ethical concerns related to their use. Prominent concerns raised by participants included privacy and confidentiality concerns, including fear of third-party access to personal health information (eg, friends or family and government agencies), issues around personal health data storage and management, equity and equitable access, informed consent, and regulation.

Conclusions

The study’s findings highlight the role of ethical concerns related to the use of app-based HIV prevention programs. Given the ever-growing nature of such technological platforms that are intermixed with a complex ethical-legal landscape, mobile health platforms must be safe and secure to minimize unintended harm, safeguard user privacy and confidentiality, and obtain public trust and uptake.

Background

The World Federation of Obesity warns that the main health problem of the next decade will be childhood obesity. It is known that factors such as gestational obesity produce profound effects on fetal programming and are strong predictors of overweight and obesity in children. Therefore, establishing healthy eating behaviors during pregnancy is the key to the primary prevention of the intergenerational transmission of obesity. Mobile health (mHealth) programs are potentially more effective than face-to-face interventions, especially during a public health emergency such as the COVID-19 outbreak.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth intervention to reduce excessive weight gain in pregnant women who attend family health care centers.

Methods

The design of the intervention corresponds to a classic randomized clinical trial. The participants are pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy who live in urban and semiurban areas. Before starting the intervention, a survey will be applied to identify the barriers and facilitators perceived by pregnant women to adopt healthy eating behaviors. The dietary intake will be estimated in the same way. The intervention will last for 12 weeks and consists of sending messages through a multimedia messaging service with food education, addressing the 3 domains of learning (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor). Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze the demographic, socioeconomic, and obstetric characteristics of the respondents. The analysis strategy follows the intention-to-treat principle. Logistic regression analysis will be used to compare the intervention with routine care on maternal pregnancy outcome and perinatal outcome.

Results

The recruitment of study participants began in May 2022 and will end in May 2023. Results include the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing the incidence of excessive gestational weight gain. We also will examine the maternal-fetal outcome as well as the barriers and facilitators that influence the weight gain of pregnant women.

Conclusions

Data from this effectiveness trial will determine whether mami-educ successfully reduces rates of excessive weight gain during pregnancy. If successful, the findings of this study will generate knowledge to design and implement personalized prevention strategies for gestational obesity that can be included in routine primary care.

The effect of corncob biochar application and dose reduction of N, P, K fertilizer on growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.) in regosol soil, Bantul, Yogyakarta
Authors: Nurjanah Risda Yunita , Indradewa Didik , Irwan Siti Nurul Rofiqo
Published: December 2022

During the period of growth and development, soybeans need loose soil that is rich in organic matter. Biochar is a soil amendment with high porosity and large surface area, resulting in nutrients and water to be well absorbed and retained. Intensive agricultural cultivation requires a supply of nutrients by the application of inorganic fertilizers such as N, P, and K. Organic matter needs to be applied to maintain soil fertility and balancing the dose of inorganic fertilizers. The study aimed to determine the effect of corncob biochar application and the dose reduction of N, P, K fertilizer on the growth and yield of soybean. The research was conducted from November 2020 to March 2021, located at Tridharma Farm, Yogyakarta. Randomized complete block design was used with the application of 10 t/ha of biochar and without biochar as the first factor. The second factor was the use of N, P, K fertilizers in 100%, 75%, 50%, and 0% of recommended doses. The application of biochar 10 t/ha on soybeans was able to increase physiological components which include stomatal opening, stomatal density, and N, P, K uptake; growth components which include root length density, root area density, leaf area, leaf area index, net assimilation rate, crop growth rate, plant dry weight, harvest index, and yield components which include number of nodes and pods per plant, 100 seed weight, grain weight per plant and grain yield. Dose reduction of fertilizers did not lead to decreasing the physiological activity, growth, and yield of soybeans.
Criticizing Female Genital Mutilation Practice from Feminist Standpoint Theory: A View from Communication Science Perspective
Authors: Putranto Hendar
Published: December 2022

This conceptual review examines Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) practice in Indonesia viewed from Feminist Standpoint Theory (FST). The current study uses a literature review to build an argumentative contribution from communication science perspective. FGM is a global phenomenon locally and culturally practiced in more than 29 countries, including Indonesia. Despite many state regulations and international treaties forbidding the practice because of its harmful consequences, FGM practice is persistently maintained by religion, culture, tradition, and other factors. The author proposes FST as a theoretical base to criticize FGM because it does not represent the lived experience of women, marginalizes women further to the brink of ideal democratic participation, and does not contribute towards the positive construction of female selfhood. The author will elaborate on these three objections using the communication science perspective within the Indonesian cultural context. The author proposes more action-oriented theorizing to overcome FST's practical deficiency by providing insights from critical intercultural communication. Women's collective agency based on situated knowledge will empower their communicative skills as enablers of transformation to eradicate FGM.
From One Project to Another: Unintended Consequences and People’s Expectation of Climate Mitigation Project in Central Kalimantan
Authors: Ismanto Manggala
Published: December 2022

This paper discusses the dynamics of environmental interventions supported by aid projects and community responses as the subject of intervention. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, I looked into how connections between local and global entities occurred, between the local villagers in Central Kalimantan and the climate mitigation project of REDD +. Both of these entities met when the global discourse on climate change started to gain ground. This paper discusses how environmental interventions lead to different expectations and unintended consequences. I see community responses as choices and decisions which were historically constructed. These choices, expectations, and decisions are related to people’s experience with previous intervention agents and local livelihood dynamics. This local-global interaction has yielded unintended outcomes and led to different expectations for a REDD+’s demonstration activities project. When these two entities - local people and KFCP (Kalimantan Forest Climate Partnership) - meet in the global agenda to mitigate climate change, friction emerges due to a variety of interests in the village. My findings demonstrate how a reforestation program could lead to a socio-economic inequality. Land conflicts are likely to occur because of alternative livelihood programs which introduced rubber seeds.

Authors: D. Astillo Jessica
Published: December 2022

Food’s nutritional analysis guarantees that it contains the correct number of vitamins and minerals while also allowing for a better understanding of the food's fat, carbohydrate dilution, protein, fiber, sugar, etc. Identifying pathogens and food spoilage microorganisms is essential to food microbiology because it ensures consumer safety, prevents brand desecration, and reduces the cost of remediation after failed inspections or food poisoning outbreaks. This study's primary objective was to determine the nutritional content and identify the hazardous microbes in the Bilimbi Fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) Juice. The study used an experimental methodology and underwent careful analysis to get detailed results regarding the product. To ascertain the product's nutritional value, samples of the three treatments—plain, grapes, and apple—were sent to theF.A.S.T. Laboratory. Analysis revealed that Bilimbi Fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) Juice contains Vitamins and minerals that benefit consumers; it includes Crude Fiber, Calcium, Vitamin C, and phosphorus. The result is that each of the three treatments' nutritional contents of "Bilimbi Fruit Juice" is within the recommended dietary requirement for Filipinos. Microbial Analysis reveals no hazardous microbes and bacteria found in the products. Therefore, Bilimbi Fruit Juice is an organic and nutritional juice safe for consumption and an excellent alternative to existing fruit juice on the market.
