In learning mathematics, students need help understanding geometric material. Students' success in learning geometric shapes is still low because the teacher uses teaching that is still conventional and has yet to implement innovative learning media. Important media used to support the learning process. This research aimed to analyze the media needs in learning geometric material in VA class at SDN Sambirejo 1, which followed the students' character and was practically used to provide a meaningful learning experience. This study employed qualitative research methods by analyzing descriptive data from interviews and observations with fifth-grade teachers and distributing student needs packages. The research found that there were still few learning media in schools, teachers used blackboards and books, no exciting media, especially for geometric material that could help students understand abstract material, and most students needed media in learning. Mathematics, especially geometric material, is needed to increase enthusiasm and motivation during learning. It can be interpreted that students and teachers need game-based media or games that are practical to support the mathematics learning process, predominantly geometric material.

Bedenin ve varoluşun kırılganlığını gözler önüne seren De Bruyckere’nin mutasyon ve ampütasyona uğramış beden tasvirleri bu araştırmanın konusudur. Bu bağlamda özellikle eserlerinde yapıbozumunu kullanan sanatçılardan biri olan De Bruyckere’yle ilgili literatür taraması yapılmış, sanatçının bu bağlamdaki eserlerinin hangileri olduğu tespit edilmiş ve seçilen eserler üzerinden konu bağlamında analizler yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma, yapıbozuma uğrayan bedenlerin günümüz sanatının anlaşılmasını sağlaması açısından önemli görülmektedir. Yapılan araştırma neticesinde denebilir ki, onun metamorfoza uğrayan heykelleri parçalanmış gövdelerle büyümekte, gelişmekte ve de çürüyerek yok olup yeniden doğmaktadır. Parçalanmış figürlerin kütleselliğini göstermeye çalışan sanatçı, aynı zamanda izleyicilere kişisel ve kolektif deneyimler arasında bir bağlantı kurma fırsatı yaratma gayesindedir. Hem dünyevi hem de dini metaforlarla dolu bedenselliğin temsili niteliğindeki varoluşsal kaygılar taşıyan eserlerindeki bedenleri acı, ıstırap, yaşam ve ölümün temsili niteliğindedir.

Published: January 2024

Geleneksel Türk müziği, sözlü eserleriyle insan sesine dayanan önemli bir gelenek olmasının yanı sıra enstrümanistlere de çeşitli formlarda özgürlük alanı sunmaktadır. Saz eserlerine ve taksimlere sazendelerin tecrübeleri ve becerilerini sergileyebildikleri bir yer olarak bakarsak, geleneksel örgüden uzaklaşmamıza ve yenilikler aramamıza gerek kalmamaktadır. Binlerce yıllık tarihiyle varlığını sürdüren Ney, geleneksel üslubun haricinde modern müzik içerisinde varlığını göstermektedir. Ney sesinin adeta bir “ihtiyaç” haline gelen bu değişimi, icracılarının yenilik arayışları ile var olabilme sürecine dönüşmüştür. Bu araştırma, modernleşen müziğin dönüşümünde, batı müziği orkestraları içinde aranan ve bu orkestralarda önemli bir ses haline gelen Ney çalgısının orkestrasyon içindeki müzikal yaklaşımını ele almaktadır. Bu araştırmada, toplumsal ve kültürel değişimlerin, geleneksel bir çalgı olan Ney’in müzikal sürecindeki etkileşimi ve tarihsel gelişimi analiz edilmiştir.
Acute Kidney Injury Due to Rhabdomyolysis: A Review of Pathophysiology, Causes, and Cases Reported in the Literature, 2011–2021
Authors: Da Silva Junior Geraldo Bezerra , Neves Pinto Gustavo , Campelo Fraga Yuri , De Francesco Daher Elizabeth
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis (RML) is characterized by the destruction of muscle fibers and the release of intracellular constituents, with the potential to cause local and systemic complications, such as acute kidney injury (AKI).
Methodology: Literature review in which articles were analyzed between 2011 and 2021, from the PubMed database.
Results: RML can occur directly, indirectly, or secondary to trauma, metabolic disorders, medications and exogenous intoxication. Clinically, it may present asymptomatically, but a classic triad consisting of myalgia, generalized weakness and dark urine is common. AKI, despite being a late complication, is common. Laboratory markers used to diagnose RML are serum Creatine Kinase (CK) and serum and urinary Myoglobin, with CK being more sensitive. The approach can occur through classic strategies, such as hydration, diuretics, alkalinization and renal replacement therapy (RRT), but also through new strategies, such as iron chelators and antioxidants; anti-inflammatories and new extracorporeal blood filter.
Discussion: Trauma was the most common etiology of AKI due to RML, with a minority of patients requiring RRT. Furthermore, it was found that COVID-19 infection did not result in major kidney complications. Strenuous exercise has been shown to be a rare etiology of AKI due to RML. Other less common causes were drug use/intoxication and metabolic diseases, the majority of which patients did not require RRT or had a favorable outcome.
Conclusion: RML is a potentially serious condition, making it important to know its causes and management in order to reduce the chances of serious complications and to avoid patient death.

Published: January 2024

The advantage of goat's milk, which produces a soft texture in processed foods, needs to be optimized for making soft candy, plus innovation in food products that are liked by children, such as attractive candy when given healthy natural colorant. Therefore, this research aims to produce innovative soft candy from goat's milk and annatto extract as colorant and antioxidant that consumers like. Soft candy product innovations were studied in random groups using a variety of annatto extract in goat’s milk soft candy formula, with 5 levels, namely 0%, 0.15%, 0.20%, 0.25% and 0.30% 5 levels. The research results showed that the innovation of goat's milk soft candy and 0.30% annatto extract coloring produced a soft texture when chewed, a milky taste and a blue purplish color that consumers liked. This soft candy innovation resulted in a water content of 7.46±0.74%, ash content of 0.57±0.07%, antioxidant activity of 69.20±1.07% (inhibition percentage). The use of annatto extract coloring also does not affect the ash content or water content of the goat's milk soft candy produced. This innovation can also be a candy option for sufferers of lactose intolerance.

Published: January 2024

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in yoghurt is a probiotic bacteria which potentially improves intestinal health. Yoghurt has a high moisture content. Thus, storing it at low temperatures can maintain the stability of microbes in the yoghurt. Yoghurt stored in the refrigerator has a maximum shelf life of 10 days. Yoghurt powder is one of the alternative solutions to prolong the shelf life. This study used a randomized design of factorial groups with variations of dextrose equivalent (DE) values of 10-12 and 18-20, as well as variations of maltodextrin concentrations of 10, 15, and 20%. The study aimed to determine the DE value and maltodextrin concentration which can produce the best quality synbiotic yoghurt powder. The quality of this synbiotic yoghurt was assessed by the highest yield, lowest water content, highest solubility, highest water absorption, highest acidic titrated total, highest total of lactic acid bacteria, and highest organoleptic.  The study obtained that the DE value of maltodextrin affected the total LAB. Meanwhile, the concentration of maltodextrin affected the yield, moisture content, solubility, acidic titrated total, and total of LAB. The interaction between the DE value and the concentration of maltodextrin did not affect all the parameters of this study.

This study investigated the effect of replacing fat with avocado paste on the physical properties, dietary fibre profile and peroxide value of wheat-tigernut biscuits. Whole tigernut was processed into flour and blended with wheat flour at three different levels; 10%, 20% and 30% weight basis into two parts. The first part of the composite (T10, T20, and T30) and control sample (100% wheat flour, T00) were baked into biscuit using margarine, while in the second batch (AT10, AT20, and AT30), margarine was replaced with avocado paste (100%). The biscuit samples were analysed for physical properties, dietary fibre profile and peroxide value using standard procedures. Data were subjected to Analysis of variance, and means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at p<0.05. Biscuits baked with avocado paste had higher spread ratio (6.98 – 7.19) and weight (17.39 – 17.51 g) than samples baked with margarine. Break strength of control sample was higher (185g) compared to biscuit samples baked with margarine (182.70 – 175.81 g), but lower than biscuits baked with avocado paste (182.70 – 175.81 g). Biscuits baked with avocado had higher dietary fibre profile of 7.49 to 7.84% and 5.72 to 5.82% for insoluble and soluble fibres. Biscuits containing avocado paste had higher peroxide values (1.91 to 2.56 meq O2/kg) than samples containing margarine (1.67 to 2.18 meq O2/kg). Replacing avocado with margarine improved the physical properties and dietary fibre profile of the biscuits with no adverse effect on the peroxide value and could therefore, be exploited as a healthier shortening agent to enrich biscuits.

Authors: Suhaimi Qamarina , Wan Kamarudin Wan Saidatul Syida , Nizori Addion , Md Sikin Adi
Published: January 2024

Abstract— The processing methods of black soymilk (BSM) can significantly affect the retention of its bioactive compounds. The effect of cold water (4 ℃, 8 hr) (CWE), hot water (80 ℃, 10 min) (HWE) and alkali water extraction (0.25% NaHCO3, 54 ℃, 10 min) (AWE) of BSM on antioxidant and sensory properties of pasteurized BSM (72 ℃ /10 min) was evaluated over 10 days of storage at 4 ℃. A steep increase in the total phenolic content (TPC) of BSM from HWE was observed over 10 days of storage, although the TPC of that from AWE was steadily the highest. The trend of flavonoids of BSM from HWE was the same as that for TPC, achieving a concentration of 1858.77 mg QAE/100 g after 10 days. The total anthocyanin content was the highest (40.85 mg/100 g) in BSM by HWE at the end of storage. Although the TPC of BSM from all extraction methods increased during storage, the total anthocyanin content showed a decreasing trend. Overall, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of BSM by HWE increased during storage up to 32.19 % on day 10 and a decreasing trend was observed from AWE and CWE. Triangle test showed that there was a significant (p<0.05) sensorial difference among the three extraction methods. The BSM from AWE had the highest score in the 9-hedonic scale for all sensorial parameters after the commercial BSM. Overall, the heat treatment in both HWE and AWE enhanced the antioxidant activity and sensory properties of pasteurized BSM, respectively.

Quality and shelf-life extension are major concerns in the development of meat packaging systems. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of absorbent food pads combined with intelligent packaging as well as to determine the correlation between active packaging and smart indicator labels. The active packaging applied absorbent food pads as carriers of active ingredients from basil and lemongrass, which are expected to extend the shelf life of chicken meat and maintain its quality. Meanwhile, intelligent packaging employs Whatman paper treated with Phenol Red (PR), providing real-time information on the quality of chicken meat. Various chicken meat spoilage test parameters such as thiobarbituric acid (TBA), total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), total bacteria of total plate Count (TPC), and pH were tested at chiller temperature (4oC) every 3 × 24 hours. The results of this study indicated that an absorbent food pad with lemongrass essential oil can extend the shelf life of chicken meat by 3 days while, the intelligent indication label’s color profile changed from yellow at the beginning of application to red during chicken spoilage. Therefore, smart packaging from a combination of an absorbent food pad as active packaging and phenol red indicator label as intelligent packaging can potentially extend the shelf life of chicken and monitor the condition of chicken meat during storage.

Published: January 2024

Black rice, originating from Sariak Alahan Tigo in Solok Regency, is one of the indigenous rice varieties found in West Sumatra.  Black rice is a cereal variety that has a low glycemic index and is rich in phytochemical substances called anthocyanins. These compounds act as antioxidants, helping to prevent diabetes and preserve the cardiovascular system. The procedure of parboiling involves varying the period of grain soaking in order to maximize the health advantages of anthocyanins found in black rice. The study utilized a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 3 duplicates. The treatment protocol utilized in this experiment consisted of A (control), B (grain immersion for 2 hours), C (grain immersion for 3 hours), D (grain immersion for 4 hours), and E (grain immersion for 5 hours). The data acquired were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and subsequently subjected to Duncan's Multiple Range (DNMRT) analysis at a significance level of 5%. The study findings indicate that the duration of grain soaking has a notable impact on various factors, including water content, starch levels, amylose and amylopectin levels, antioxidant activity, starch digestibility (in vitro), glycemic index values, taste, and texture. Nevertheless, the duration of grain soaking does not have any discernible impact on the physical hue, sensory hue, or fragrance of parboiled black rice. The treatment that is most favored according to the results of the sensory study is treatment D, which has a color rating of 3.86 (like), a fragrance rating of 3.91 (like), a taste rating of 3.91 (like), and a texture rating of 3.81 (like).

Published: January 2024

En el sistema educativo costarricense, ha existido un crecimiento en las opciones educativas para educación secundaria, sin embargo, no existe claridad sobre las distintas ofertas y modalidades disponibles. En esta investigación realizada en la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, se trabajó con personas directoras de centros educativos, personal administrativo de oficinas centrales del Ministerio de Educación Pública de Costa Rica (MEP) y supervisores de circuitos educativos, para responder las siguientes preguntas de investigación: ¿cuáles son los criterios para el cambio o apertura de modalidades y ofertas educativas en educación media en Costa Rica? ¿Cuáles son las rutas de gestión administrativa y curricular para la aprobación de aperturas o cambios de modalidades y ofertas? Y, por último, ¿cómo se puede describir el proceso de gestión de cambio o apertura de modalidades u ofertas desde el MEP? Para ello, se utilizó una metodología de tipo descriptivo/exploratorio mediante entrevistas y análisis documental. Se encontró que, desde la gestión curricular y administrativa, no hay una clara tipificación de estas propuestas educativas, tampoco existe una única ruta para los procesos de apertura, cambio y cierre de estas opciones educativas. La gestión administrativa y curricular es compleja, pues intervienen distintas instancias del MEP, entre las cuales no siempre hay coordinación, se cuenta con distintas rutas para la creación, cambio y cierre de las modalidades y ofertas educativas, además, el aspecto presupuestario juega un papel clave en la aprobación. Finalmente, se discuten estos hallazgos a la luz del derecho de las personas de tener una educación de calidad, así como su pleno desarrollo educativo y profesional.

El presente estudio analiza la disposición hacia el pensamiento crítico de 205 estudiantes chilenos de colegios secundarios públicos en torno al aprendizaje del inglés. Una escala Likert de 6 puntos fue aplicada a los participantes para la colección de datos usando la Escala de Disposición hacia el Pensamiento Crítico que consistió en 26 preguntas; además de esto, las características sociodemográficas de los participantes fueron recopiladas. La Escala de Disposición hacia el Pensamiento Crítico contenía siete dimensiones: búsqueda de la verdad, amplitud mental, capacidad de análisis, sistematicidad, confianza en el razonamiento, curiosidad y por último madurez cognitiva. El primer método de análisis de datos fue la estadística descriptiva, este análisis abordó la media y desviación estándar de los datos, seguido por un análisis de correlación de Spearman para encontrar relaciones entre el conjunto de datos, que mostró correlaciones entre las siete dimensiones, pero no entre las dimensiones y la información sociodemográfica. Finalmente, un análisis clúster jerárquico fue efectuado para dividir los datos y encuestados en cuatro grupos similares, de acuerdo con sus respuestas. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes secundarios no presentan una fuerte ni débil disposición hacia el pensamiento crítico; su disposición es más bien indefinida.

Published: January 2024

The aim of this research was to examine the influence of the year (production
cycle) and laying age on the quality of eggs for consumption. Examination of
certain properties of egg and shell quality was carried out over a period of
three years continuously and in four evenly spaced time intervals (24, 35,
46, and 57 weeks of age). Determining the external quality of eggs included
determining the weight and shape index. Examination of the internal quality
of eggs included the determination of albumen height and Haugh units. At the
same time, the quality of the eggshell involved the determination of the
following properties: (weight, thickness, deformation, breaking force, and
color of the shell). The obtained results showed that during three
production cycles, the genetic progress of this hybrid was confirmed, which
is primarily reflected in a statistically significantly higher (p<0.05)
value of egg weight, egg white height, and Haugh's units in the third year
compared to the first year examinations. Also, under the influence of this
factor, statistically significantly higher values of weight and shell
thickness and a darker shell color were determined in the third compared to
the first year of research. No statistically significant differences were
found for other examined parameters under the influence of this factor. In
the presence of statistically significant influence (p<0.05), various laying
ages were systematically examined for internal and external egg quality
attributes alongside shell quality properties, excluding shell deformation.
Egg weight increased significantly with increasing laying age, while shape
index values, contrary to egg weight, decreased. The parameters of internal
egg quality were worse with increasing laying age. Regarding the shell
quality properties, it was found that the shell weight and thickness,
similar to the egg weight, increased with the age of the layers, while the
breaking force was found to be the lowest in the oldest layers. The
interaction of both tested factors did not cause a statistically significant
effect on tested egg quality traits.

Published: January 2024

Cultures have met and influenced each other throughout history, and new and original products have emerged. Andalusian works, which were formed under the influence of Islamic and Christian architectural culture in history, and Ottoman architectural works, which were put forward by considering aesthetics and symmetry, are worth examining and are the subject of many scientific studies. In this study, the characteristics of Andalusian and Ottoman mosque architectures, which represent two peaks in Islamic civilization, were examined and compared. There is a perfect harmony between the multi-column and horseshoe-shaped arches in Andalusian mosques, but this situation creates a dim image. In terms of external appearance, it is reported that the mosques face north, and there is one square-based minaret here. The minarets, which have survived to the present day, have the appearance of a high building and terraces on the upper parts used for observation purposes.

The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARSCoV-2) is a potentially fatal disease of great global public health concern. Due to increased globalization and adaptation of virus in every environment, the virus has spread more rapidly compared to sever acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Most of the patients of COVID 19 present with fever. Contemporary treatment targets control of fever and other symptoms through various antipyretic, nonspecific antiviral, and antibiotic drugs etc. In spite of using these majors to treat the cases of COVID 19, some patients develop complications related to respiratory and other systems. There is no any specific diet and lifestyle guideline for the patients of COVID 19 with fever. Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle recommendations mentioned for Jvara (Fever) of various origins can help the patients for their speedy recovery without further complication of the diseases.

Ayurvedic Intervention in the Management of Anantavata W.S.R. to Trigeminal Neuralgia
Authors: N Bhatt
Published: January 2024

Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain in the lower face and jaw caused due to irritation of the trigeminal nerve. Anantavata is among 11 types of sirorogas explained by Acharya Susruta. It is Vatapradhana sannipatika disease. Although it causes most excruciating pain to the patient, it is classified under sadhya vyadhi. TN has a higher incidence in women than men. Siravedha and Vata-Pitta shaman are mainly indicated in treatment of Anantavata. Nasya, lepa, parisheka, kavalagraha, shirovasti effectively pacify all the three doshas vitiated in shirah pradesh; thereby reducing pain. Acute pain episodes of trigeminal neuralgia can be managed with nasya karma, ksheera dhooma, ghrita pana, lepa and karna poorana. Patient is advised to consume food processed with large quantity of milk and ghrita. Oral medications along with local application of Ayurveda therapies produce significant relief in pain. All these modalities pacify the vitiated Vata dosha, eventually controlling the other two doshas. Anti-convulsant medications are always the first line of treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Surgery is mainly indicated in patients who experience pain despite best medical management. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most invasive surgical procedure for treating trigeminal neuralgia, but has much lower success rates or may worsen the pain in many cases. Trigeminal neuralgia cannot be cured permanently. The main aim of treatment is to alleviate the debilitating pain. Ayurvedic treatment modalities like nasya karma, ghrita pana, lepa and karna poorana give salutiferous effects by breaking the samprapti of disease on the whole
Evaluation of the Gastric Antiulcer Efficacy of Helianthus annuus L, Leaves Extract and Fractions
Authors: PA Akah
Published: January 2024

Peptic ulcer disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases worldwide. Its treatment is becoming increasingly difficult due to the implication of Helicobacter pylori and its increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents leading to a cyclical course of exacerbation and remission. This study evaluated the antiulcer effects of methanol leaf extract and fractions of Helianthus annuus. The crude extract was prepared by cold maceration with methanol. A portion of the extract (300 g) was partitioned with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol to yield n-hexane (HF), ethyl acetate (EF) and methanol (MF) fractions respectively. The extract was subjected to oral acute toxicity (LD50) and phytochemical studies. The antiulcer activity of the extract and fractions was evaluated in rat experimental ulcer models induced with aspirin, ethanol and histamine. Omeprazole and Tween 80 served as the standard drug and negative control respectively. Activities related to antiulcer properties such as effect on gastrointestinal transit and antimicrobial activities were investigated. Outcome measures were ulcer index, percentage ulcer protection, percentage gastrointestinal inhibition and antimicrobial potency. Ulcers induced by the three ulcerogens were significantly (p < 0.05) ameliorated by the extract and the fractions. The extract and fractions significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited gastrointestinal motility in mice. They exhibited potent antibacterial activity but were devoid of anti-fungicidal property. At a dose of 5000 mg/kg (p.o), the extract caused no obvious signs of toxicity or death in mice. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of saponins, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, terpenoids, as well as reducing sugars. The results show that the leaves of Helianthus annuus possess antiulcer properties with n-hexane fraction offering best ulcer protection. Cytoprotection, antispasmodic, as well as antibacterial actions may account for the mechanisms of the antiulcer effects.
