Nutritional Status Assessment among Adult Santals of East Singhbhum District in Jharkhand State, India
Authors:   Vidyasagar University, Midnapore–721102, West Bengal, India, Dash S.S.
Published: July 2023

Currently, malnutrition and undernutrition are comprehensible health issues for adults in India. This condition also affects children. The prevalence of such situations developed in India is primarily due to socio-economic variation, especially in the case of socio-economically disadvantaged communities like Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Scheduled Castes (SCs) over others. For the last two to three decades, there has been no inspiring progress regarding the nutritional status of such a population. Studies on the assessment of nutritional status among both male and female Santals are almost lacking, hence the importance of conducting such a study. The present study tries to determine nutritional status prevalence among Santal adults in East Singhbhum District, Jharkhand, India. It was a community-based cross-sectional study carried out in tribal areas of East Singhbhum District, Jharkhand, India. A total of 211 adult (male = 101 and female = 110) schedule tribes (Santals) aged over 20 years in those village areas (Bela, Malua, Dighi Mura, Majhipara, Teghori and Raj bandh) were included in this study. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) were the major indicators used here to assess the studied participants' nutritional status. It was observed that most young adults, age group 20-40 years, are mainly affected. Further study revealed that 5.9 % of males, 8.1 % of females, and 7.1% of the total population were suffering from Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), and 52.5 % of males, 58.1 % of females and 55.5 % of the total population became overweight. The overall sex-combined prevalence of undernutrition was 7.1%. The prevalence of undernutrition was significantly (p < 0.05) higher (8.1%) in females compared to males (5.9%). Nutritional status assessment through MUAC also revealed more or less similar results. It may be suggested that nearly three fourth of the population (69.67 %) was nutritionally normal, whereas the rest (30.33 %) was found to be underweight and malnourished. So, from this study, it may be concluded that females were in the more concerning situation for undernutrition according to MUAC and overweight according to BMI.

Authors:   Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, The University of Lahore, Pakistan, Safder Arfa
Published: July 2023

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., belongs to the family Plutellidae and the order Lepidoptera, which is a destructive pest all over the world and causes great problems in many countries and has great economic importance and its control costs approximately one billion dollars annually. The current experiment was performed on this pest to check the toxicity of Dimethoate, Emamectin, and Lufenuron insecticides on larvae of P. xylostella. The results showed that emamectin was the most toxic insecticide, followed by lufenuron and dimethoate in both laboratory and field conditions. The mortality rate of pests was low in field conditions as compared to laboratory conditions. The mortality percentage increased with the increase in the application time of insecticides. All the treatments were also observed to be significantly superior to the control.
Role of Medicinal Plants in Managing Neurodegenerative Diseases
Authors:   Hiralal Mazumdar Memorial College for Women, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, Ahmad S Rehan
Published: July 2023

It is customary to use plants to treat human diseases. There has been a recent resurgence of interest. Field studies on ethnobotany have been conducted in a variety of developing nations worldwide. It shows worry over the potential loss of important knowledge regarding conventional medicine. Many times, neurological problems are not seen as common ailments. Like epilepsy, which is the most severe chronic ailment, they are mental illnesses. Millions of individuals are affected. Other diseases include Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, meningitis, and stroke. Speaking, breathing, movement, mood, and memory are all impacted by nervous system problems. A comprehensive treatment option is herbal medicine. Growing these significant herbs will increase the ecosystem's terrestrial variety and aid in biodiversity preservation. Some of the significant plants used in the treatment of nerve illnesses are Centella asiatica, Avena sativa, Lagenaria sicerana, Cassia tora, and Cassia fistula. A taxonomy categorization can be constructed based on medical applications and the relationships inferred between the many medicinal plant species' biochemical attributes and medicinal purposes. Studies in tissue culture and molecular characterization are also possible. The most potent medical plant used to treat mental disorders can be obtained, and significant medicinal plant gene flow will increase terrestrial biodiversity.
Procesos de autoevaluación : una guía para la autoevaluación en la educación superior
Authors: Kells Herbert R. , Korswagen Richard P.
Published: July 2023

La obra ve ahora su cuarta edición, pero el propósito fundamental de ella sigue siendo el mismo: promover la autoevaluación orientada al mejoramiento de la calidad de tal manera que sean puestas en un alto relieve la cultura e infraestructura de la autorregulación en instituciones de educación superior. Escrita por un académico para académicos, para directivos institucionales y para quienes formulan las políticas de las instituciones de educación superior, la cuarta edición se ve enriquecida respecto a las anteriores en importantes aspectos. Analiza el abanico de enfoques de evaluación que están siendo desarrollados en más de dos docenas de países en la década del noventa y presenta así un contexto de referencia para la selección de las opciones que el lector y sus colegas efectuarán conforme vayan desarrollando y poniendo en práctica sus esfuerzos autoevaluativos. Considera también las recientes críticas y contextos cambiantes relativos a estos procesos surgidos en los Estados Unidos, así como los nuevos esfuerzos que están apareciendo en América Latina y Europa. Relaciona, asímismo, el proceso de autoevaluación con el reciente interés en gestión de la calidad total y la incorporación de esta filosofía a la educación superior. También, correlaciona la autoevaluación con la creciente tendencia al enfoque en los resultados del proceso educativo, tal como sucede con el movimiento en pro de las evaluaciones cuantitativas o analíticas (assessments) en los Estados Unidos, y con los métodos para construir una cultura de autorregulación en nuestras instituciones. La paleta de ejemplos y casos materiales tomados de diferentes entornos y países incluida en esta cuarta edición ha sido ampliada y enriquecida, y los diagramas han sido simplificados de manera que sean más útiles. El objetivo primario es el de brindar ayuda a quienes deban autorizar, dirigir o diseñar proyectos de autoevaluación y, por supuesto, a quienes deban participar en ellos.
Cinco opúsculos teológicos (Opuscula sacra)
Authors: Boecio Anicio Manlio Torcuato Severino
Published: July 2023

Este esfuerzo fue un verdadero trabajo de arquitectura espiritual, conducido con todos los recursos de la metafísica y de la dialéctica, que culminó en la máxima obra de Santo Tomás. La definición ontológica de persona fue útil para profundizar no solo el misterio trinitario, sino también el misterio humano, vestigio de la Trinidad. La persona, «lo más perfecto en toda la naturaleza» según Santo Tomás, es el fundamento de la dignidad humana y de todos sus derechos y deberes. Esta noción se ha convertido no tanto en un punto de llegada de la reflexión filosófica cuanto el criterio y el punto de referencia necesario según el cual toda filosofía pone a prueba su propia validez. Esta es la primera vez que se traducen completos al español los Cinco opúsculos teológicos de San Severino Boecio.

Published: July 2023

Los cambios más importantes en la vida de los pobres de América Latina en el siglo veinte han sido, probablemente, aquellos ligados a la educación y la migración rural-urbana. En ambos ámbitos, los pobres han puesto sus expectativas, asignando recursos, jugando un papel protagónico y logrado importantes resultados. El presente estudio que constituyo simultáneamente un proceso de formación de profesores en el campo de la investigación consiste en la evaluación y acompañamiento de experiencias de desarrollo humano en el proceso de traslado familiar del mundo rural al urbano. Entendemos por ese desarrollo un proceso preciso, y a la vez multidimensional, que está sirviendo de referencia a la mayor parte de las discusiones contemporáneas sobre el tema, tanto en el mundo académico como en el de los organismos multilaterales y en el de las experiencias de base.
Los rostros de Jano:ensayo sobre San Agustín y la sofística cristiana
Authors: Bacigalupo Luis E.
Published: July 2023

En este trabajo, Luis Bacigalupo nos muestra que san Agustín resulta ser no solo un ilustre retórico formado en la tradición jurídica romana, sino un escéptico y un sofista; es decir, se trata de una tesis provocadora que rescata los aspectos positivos de la “sofística” cristiana y critica la pretensión de ignorarla como si se pudiera eliminar uno de los rostros de Jano, dios romano caracterizado por su doble faceta que mira en direcciones contrarias.

Developing critical thinking across the curriculum through embedded personal epistemology: An immersion approach
Authors: Mansouri Fedoua Mansouri , Hamzaoui Hafida
Published: July 2023

In the present-day information age, it has become more crucial than ever to be equipped with an intellectual compass that can help an individual to navigate the overwhelming deluge of information, messages, and discourses. The efficiency of higher education in teaching students to think critically is debatable as most institutions treat these skills in isolation from the rest of educational goals. This paper explored a holistic approach to enhancing critical thinking across the curriculum. It involves the promotion of learners’ epistemological beliefs. The study explored a potential causal relationship between critical thinking skills and epistemological beliefs among undergraduates at the Department of English at Khenchela University, Algeria. In a quasi-experimental design, sophomores received a two-semester treatment instruction designed to promote their critical thinking skills. These latter were tested in pre-and post-tests to evaluate the effect of the course. T-test results revealed a significant change in the experimental group’s post-test means as compared to their critical thinking pre-tests.

Positioning agrarianism as a sustainable environmental discourse: Culture, nature and place
Authors: Indriyanto Kristiawan
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the concept of agrarianism as a counterpoint to anthropocentric environmental perspectives, utilizing an ecological reading of Richard Powers’ novel, “The Overstory.” Agrarianism challenges the prevailing notion that prioritizes human interests and exploits nature, emphasizing the interconnectedness and equal value of all beings within the natural world. Embracing agrarian principles such as sustainable practices and the significance of agriculture is seen as a more ethical and sustainable approach to human-environment interactions. Reading the novel highlights an agrarian perspective, underlines the need for sustainability, and advocates for a deeper understanding of the relationship between humans and non-human entities. Agrarian principles, emphasizing rural living, sustainability and the value of agriculture, are positioned as a counter-discourse to modernity, especially its reliance on technology and scientific knowledge which detrimentally impact the environment.. Compared to other discussions of agrarianism, the present study emphasizes the use of narrative strategies to heighten readers’ awareness of the intricate relationship between humans and nature, To conclude, this study seeks to foster critical reflection on environmental issues and promote awareness of alternative perspectives and environmental approaches by emphasizing the agrarian viewpoint in the novel and exploring its implications.
Equitable Support for Livelihoods and Food
Authors: Rohwerder Brigitte
Published: July 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic and policy responses to contain its spread had severe impacts on people’s livelihoods and food security. It exposed weaknesses and inequities in social protection systems, food production and distribution, job security, and economic policies, with those already marginalised and vulnerable most affected (Bolton and Georgalakis 2022; Thompson et al. 2021; Rohwerder 2020). Lockdowns, the closure of borders, and the shutting or scaling down of businesses and public offices led to economic recessions, loss of livelihoods, and pushed millions of people to the brink of poverty and destitution (Thompson et al. 2021). The pandemic majorly impacted on households’ production and access to quality, nutritious food due to losses of income combined with increasing food prices and restrictions to movements of people, inputs and products (ibid.). Women and those working in informal economies were hardest hit in both rural and urban areas as a result of deep-rooted inequalities (ibid.; Bolton and Georgalakis 2022; Juárez Padilla, Machorro and Pira 2021). These effects continue four years on with the Global Report on Food Crises 2023 identifying the lingering socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic as one of the key factors in driving up acute food insecurity (FSIN and Global Network Against Food Crises 2023). The socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic have negatively affected poor people’s resilience, resulting in longer recovery periods and an inability to cope with future shocks (ibid.). Drawing on research supported by the Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE) Programme – which is supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) – this guide highlights key lessons and priority actions that need to be taken to respond to food and livelihood security challenges for food systems to become equitable and resilient. This includes supporting immediate needs; building flexibility, resilience and inclusion into food systems and social protection, and developing economic policies that are equitable and gender responsive (Bolton and Georgalakis 2022).
A Theoretical Suggestion to Investigate Cultural Discontent and Conditions of Class Struggle—Relative Fixed Labor-power and Cultural Fix
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Yoon Jaewon
Published: July 2023

In an era when the effectiveness of collective class struggle is questioned, this paper presents a way to retheorize the conditions of the struggle at the structural level based on Stephen Shapiro’s theoretical suggestion. This paper first reviews the discourses of existing Marxist cultural studies and examines their limitations: humanistic and somatic materialism with a focus on human labor as a sensuous human activity, as well as culturalism that understands capitalism as articulations of various social elements, experiences, and practices. As a comparison, this paper investigates how Shapiro draws upon Karl Marx’s Capital and theorizes the way in which economic and sociocultural conditions, or base and superstructure, are interrelated as a framework to consider cultural fix alongside the economic fix of capitalism and the conditions of class struggle. This paper argues that Shapiro’s discussion extends a theoretical spectrum of cultural studies, and it presents a way of understanding the economic dynamics of the capitalist world-system as historical objectivity while distancing from economic determinism, and of comprehending consensus, discontent, conflict, and antagonism between the economic and the cultural as conditions of struggle.

Kampung adat atau kampung naga merupakan kampung yang mempunyai sistem ketahanan pangan yang baik dengan kearifan lokal yang di milikinya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsep ketahanan pangan berbasis kearifan lokal pada studi kasus Kampung Naga Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. Metode yang digunakan termasuk jenis penilitian deskriptif kualitatif.  Adapun pengumpulan data baik data primer maupun sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi dan analisis. Hasil penelitiannya yaitu warga kampung naga mayoritas mata pencahariannya bertani di sawah dan ladang, mereka menanam seperti padi, palawija, berternak ikan atau menangkap ikan di sungai. Keyakinan masyarakat  kampung naga terhadap alam dan penciptanya tampak jelas dalam sistem pertanian yang memakai cara tanam” JanJul” atau januari-juli dalam menanam dan memanen. Masyarakat kampung naga mengolah padi dengan cara tradisional, seperti hasil panen padi itu tidak dibawa ke penggilingan melainkan di tumbuk sendiri di saung lisung. Peran sistem leuit sangat berperan besar dalam menjaga ketahanan pangan di Kampung Naga  dimana sistem ini mengatur warga untuk menyumbangkan sebagian hasil panen pada bulan juli sebagai mitigasi ketahanan pangan masyarakat adat Kampung Naga. Kearifan lokal Kampung Naga terbukti dapat menghasilkan produk pangan lebih berkualitas walaupun secara kuantitas sangat terbatas, akan tetapi cukup sebagai ketahan pangan masyarakat Kampung Naga. Selain bertani, warga juga terampil membuat kerajinan kerajinan khas kampung naga yang bisa dijual kepada para pengunjung, seperti memanfaatkan lidi, kulit kayu, kulit binatang, bambu dan kayu aren untuk bahan dasarnya.

The Transsylvanian wingless groundhopper, Tetrix transsylvanica (Bazyluk et Kis, 1960) is a flightless pygmy grasshopper (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) known only from a few fragmented localities and thus considered an endangered (EN) species in the IUCN Red List. The species consists of two subspecies, the nominal T. t. transsylvanica inhabiting the southern Carpathians in Romania, and T. transsylvanica hypsocorypha Skejo, 2014, until now known from a single locality in Slovenia (Mt Boč) and a single locality in Croatia where it was caught last time in the 1940s in Hrvatsko Zagorje (Gornja Pačetina, Trnovec). It is possible that the two subspecies represent separate species. The species has been considered extinct in Croatia. In this paper, we report the discovery of several subpopulations in Croatia, the largest one being at Siljevec on Ivanščica mountain. In addition, small subpopulations are reported on three other mountains (Strahinjčica, Medvednica and Zelinska gora), and two of them are suspected to be under threat of extinction: the subpopulation on the peak of Medvednica, Sljeme, and the subpopulation on Strahinjčica. The latter was discovered in a proximity of a quarry. The species is a (Pleistocene) relic and may be the only groundhopper endemic to Central Europe. Herewith, we appeal for its inclusion in the Ordinance on Strictly Protected Species of the Republic of Croatia, and for T. transsylvanica to be proposed as a candidate for the list of species protected through the Habitats Directive.

In 2005, a new lizard species, the sharp-snouted rock lizard (Dalmatolacerta oxycephala) appeared on the island of Cres, probably due to anthropogenic transfer. Before that, only the Dalmatian wall lizard (Podarcis melisellensis) had inhabited the town of Osor, where the new species was discovered. In areas where the two species live sympatrically, P. melisellensis is competitively superior to D. oxycephala; however, in Osor, D. oxycephala appeared in parts of the town where P. melisellensis had been present before. Since 2005, there has been no systematic survey to assess how the distribution of the two species has changed in Osor and, the aim of this study is to investigate how far D. oxycephala has spread and what happened to the distribution of the native P. melisellensis after the new species appeared. Here we show that in 16 years, the native Dalmatian wall lizard was outcompeted by the sharp-snouted rock lizard, and there was no observation of the two species together at the same locations. Despite the new species preferring high stone walls, specimens were also found on shorter stone walls alongside the road towards Lošinj. According to our findings, the further spread of the sharp-snouted rock lizard cannot be excluded in the upcoming years in Cres, which could negatively affect the native Dalmatian wall lizard, but further research is needed to reveal the causes of our observations and to monitor the changes in the distribution of the two species.

Introduction: COVID-19-associated coagulopathy includes systemic and endothelial inflammation with coagulation dysregulation related to immunothrombosis. The aim of this study was to characterize this complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. Methods: An open-label, prospective observational study conducted in patients with COVID-19 moderate to severe acute respiratory failure admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). Coagulation testing, including thromboelastometry, biochemical analysis and clinical variables, were collected at prespecified time points during the 30 days of ICU stay.Results: The study included 145 patients, 73.8% male, with a median age of 68 years (interquartile range - IQR 55 - 74). The most prevalent comorbidities were arterial hypertension (63.4%), obesity (44.1%) and diabetes (22.1%). Simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II) was on average 43.5 (11 - 105) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) at admission was 7.5 (0 - 14). During ICU stay, 66.9% of patients underwent invasive mechanical ventilation and 18.4% extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support; thrombotic and hemorrhagic events occurred in 22.1% and 15.1% of the patients respectively; anticoagulation with heparin was present in 99.2% of patients since early ICU stay. Death occurred in 35% of patients. Longitudinal studies revealed changes in almost all coagulation tests during the ICU stay. SOFA score, lymphocyte counts, some biochemical, inflammatory and coagulation parameters, including hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis seen in thromboelastometry, differed significantly (p < 0.05), between ICU admission and discharge. Hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis persisted throughout ICU hospitalization, showing higher incidence and severity in non-survivors.Conclusion: COVID-19-associated coagulopathy is characterized by hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis from ICU admission, and persisted throughout the clinical course in severe COVID-19. These changes were more pronounced in patients with higher disease burden and in non-survivors.

Pu rp ose -Teachers ' work attitudes play an ess ential ro le in raising and ed ucating future generatio ns. This study aimed to investigate the effect of teachers' calling on job performance and organizational commitment and the mediating role of work-related flow experience on this effect.Design/methodology/approach-The data was collected throughproper surveys received from 377 teachers in Adana. The appropriate data's frequency analysis and factor analysis were done with SPSS 24.0 and SmartPLS 3.3.9 programs, respectively. The Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) method was used to determine the path coefficients (hypotheses) and the mediating role of the model created at the second level. Findings-The results have shown that calling positively affects job performance, work-related flow experience, and organizational commitment. The work-related flow experience positively affects job performance and organizational commitment. While the partial mediating role of work-related flow experience in the relationship between calling and job performance was affirmed, the mediating role of work-related flowexperience in the relationship between calling and organizational commitment could not be confirmed.Discussion–Teachers with positive attitudes and behaviors towards their profession have trained qualified human resources in the educational system. Teachers who have a calling sense could experience work-related flow experience under suitable conditions, and this could positively affect both their job performance and organizational commitment. Therefore, a supportive environment with managerial and peer support should be created in schools for teachers to find their work more meaningful and increase their calling and work-related flow experiences.
