Evaluating the Relationship Between Taxation and Economic Growth in Zambia
Authors: Mubanga Evans
Published: May 2022

From inception, taxation has been the main source of Government revenue across the globe, in the past 30 years, the Zambian government has been raising revenue through taxes despite the Country failing to raise enough revenue to finance the national budget. In many developing countries including Zambia, the prominent source of tax revenue is direct tax despite this tax type being identified as a threat to the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study sought to evaluate the effect of taxation on the economic growth of Zambia following various policy changes aimed at achieving middle income status as enshrined in the Vision 2030. The study used multiple regression analysis to analyse time series data. The Augmented Dicker Fuller (ADF), Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Error Correction Models (ECM) were employed to test the stationarity of data in order to establish both the short-run and the long-run relationship between taxation and economic growth. The study revealed that despite various tax types giving varying results on how they affect economic growth both in the short-run and long-run, they have a positive effect on the growth of the Zambian economy. It is recommended that the Zambian Government improves efficiency in the collection of taxes by further digitalising their systems and embark on tax payer education programs in the quest to increase tax compliance. Further, there is need to reduce on tax exemptions or incentives as this narrows the tax base and introduce systems that will make tax payments easier for tax payers. Lastly, there is need to improve audit capacity by increasing the number of inspectors across the country, this increase poised to improve efficiency in the collection of the tax revenues.
O QUE PODE ULYSSES NOS DIZER SOBRE A RACIONALIDADE ESTÉTICA?
Authors: Hespanhol Peruchi Camila
Published: May 2022

Esse artigo analisa detidamente um trecho do romance Ulysses (James Joyce), representativo da obra de arte moderna. Nossa hipótese de leitura é de que as considerações por ele suscitadas, espécies de ensinamentos de Ulysses, ilustram o modus operandi mesmo da “racionalidade estética”, tal como concebida algo esparsamente por Theodor Adorno ao longo de sua obra. Ao desenvolvê-la, nosso percurso procura 1) lançar luzes sobre o modo particular de construção de Ulysses e 2) reforçar a necessidade de se pensar o conceito adorniano junto ao modernismo.

JUSTINA FORA DO CÍRCULO: A OMISSÃO COMO SINTOMA DA COLONIALIDADE DO PODER PRESENTE NO CONTO “WARMA KUYAY”, DE ARGUEDAS
Authors: Castro Correia Elayne , Cunha Roseli Barros
Published: May 2022

A presente pesquisa objetiva analisar, a partir do conto do escritor peruano José María Arguedas (1911-1969) de título “Warma kuyay (Amor de niño)”, publicado em 1933, a omissão como sintoma da colonialidade do poder, termo forjado por Aníbal Quijano (1992) para tratar das ressonâncias discriminatórias do colonialismo na modernidade. Pretende-se responder à problemática: de que modo a não reação de algumas personagens a práticas de violência contra a mulher configura um efeito ou sintoma da permanência da colonialidade do poder? Utiliza-se como aporte, além de Quijano (1992), especialmente os estudos de Aimé Césaire (1950), Saffioti (2004), Lélia Gonzalez (2018), Cornejo Polar (1973; 2005) e Jofré (2006).

ENTRE DUAS VISÕES: A BARCELONA DE ANTONI GAUDÍ E DE CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN
Authors: Munari Ana Cláudia , Da Silva Dutra Viviane
Published: May 2022

As obras de Antoni Gaudí possuem características únicas, com elementos que unem o sacro e o gótico. O escritor Carlos Ruiz Zafón se conecta à cidade de Barcelona e Gaudí pela maneira como condiciona as ações dos personagens em torno da arquitetura, dos monumentos, da história e da cultura da cidade. Esse artigo pretende analisar o modo como a cidade de Barcelona, retratada por Gaudí através de suas obras arquitetônicas, é transmidiada na tetralogia El Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados, de Carlos Ruiz Zafón, por meio da conjunção da história dos personagens com a paisagem, obras e prédios históricos da cidade.

Authors: Nurdiani Rahmi , Ramadhan Muhamad , Prihanto Asep A. , Firdaus Muhamad
Published: May 2022

Fishery processing industry produces a high number of by-products. Fortunately, some fish by-products can be reused and converted into valuable products, such as fish protein hydrolysates. Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) is known to have a high functional value. This study aims to valorize the mackerel (Scomber japonicus) heads into FPH with biofunctional properties under different pH and hydrolysis duration. Hydrolysis was carried out at pH 0, 5, 7, and 9 for 12 and 24 hour. Response surface methodology was performed to determine the optimum production condition. The results showed that pH and hydrolysis duration had significant effects (p < 0.05) on yield, antioxidant activity, protein content, and degree of hydrolysis of mackerel FPH. The highest yield (59.89 ± 0.08%), with a protein content of 67.95 ± 0.49%, was obtained at pH 5 after 12 hour incubation. In addition, the mackerel fish protein hydrolysate had high antioxidant activity (36.95 ± 0.82%) with a degree of hydrolysis of 32.63 ± 1.12%. It was suggested that mackerel heads could be a potential resource to produce bio-functional fish protein hydrolysate. Further research on other properties of mackerel FPH and the use of different enzymes to produce better quality mackerel head FPH is recommended.

Published: May 2022

The advances of digital technologies in dentistry have made significant changes in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Digital three-dimensional models are commonly used to perform dental arch and teeth measurements through intra-oral scanners and software. This study aimed to test the reliability of two softwares in measuring dental arch perimeters compared to the conventional one. Twenty-four pairs of stone models belonging to Iraqi children at the mixed dentition stage were selected and scanned with a laser scanner. Maxillary and mandibular dental arch perimeters were measured as a sum of four segments from central incisor to canine and from canine to the first molar on both sides using digital calipers (on stone models) Ortho Analyzer, and the Geomagic Design X software(on scanned models). Reliability has been evaluated by intra-class correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman plots, while systematic and proportional biases were evaluated by paired sample t-test and linear regression analysis, respectively. Non-significant differences were obtained for most measurements with good to excellent reliability. Digital technologies, including model scanning and software measurements can be used with adequate precision and reliability to assess dental arch perimeters as with stone models and conventional measurements with dental vernier.

Published: May 2022

Organic adhesive particleboard has the opportunity to be developed to replace particleboard with formaldehyde adhesives which can be detrimental to health. Acacia bark (ATB), pine bark (PTB), and empty fruit bunches of oil palm (EFB) are by-products that have no economic value but have potential as raw materials for particleboard. This study aims to determine particleboard's physical and mechanical properties based on EFB with adhesive ATB and PTB and reduce using formaldehyde adhesive. The combination of using PTB and ATB powder for particleboard adhesive is a novelty in this research. The composition of the particleboard consists of 20-30wt% ATB and PTB powder with 80-70wt% EFB and 5−6% moisture content. The length of EFB fiber used is 0.1−2.0 cm, and the size of ATB and PTB powders is that it passes 40 mesh sieves and is retained by 50 mesh. Hot press time 15-25 minutes. Quality assessment is carried out using Japanese Industry Standard A 5908-2015 for panel products. The test results show that the particleboard meets the standard and prove that ATB and PTB can be used as organic adhesives and have great potential to replace non-organic adhesives.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Cleome scaposa DC and Cleome viscose L on the lipid profile in Albino rabbits. The goal of the study was to discover newer ways to treat hyperlipidemia. Thirty albino rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10, per group). The daily oral dosing of ethanol extract of Cleome scaposa DC and ethanol extract of Cleome viscose L was administered respectively to groups1 and 2, while group 3 was considered the control group. Blood samples were taken at the end of the first, second, and fourth weeks. There was significant reduction in total cholesterol (F2, 4 = 10.85, P < 0.05), triglyceride levels (F2, 4 = 1.686, P < 0.05) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (F2, 4 = 1.97, P < 0.045) in the treated groups of albino rabbits. A significant increase was seen in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (F2, 4 = 29.095, P < 0.05) in both groups treated. Cleome scaposa and Cleome viscose decreased total cholesterol. Both the herbs possess various constituents, which would be beneficial for treating different diseases. Studies regarding the phytochemistry of these herbs will be required before knowing the mechanism of action.

Investigating Two Date Palm Cultivars Microbial Pathways
Authors: Dhawi Faten
Published: May 2022

The cultivars of Sukkari and Khalas are known for their economic value in Saudi Arabia. However, the rhizosphere microbial community associated with the two cultivars has never been analyzed. This study aims to identify the possible microbial community and associated environment enzymatic activity with the two dates palm cultivars' rhizosphere and analyze it using metagenomics. The results showed a distinct microbial community in each of the two cultivars. Khalas cultivar rhizosphere was associated with 86% of the sequences identified as bacteria compared to 62% of bacterial sequence associated with Sukkari cultivar rhizosphere. On the other hand, 25% of the Sukkari rhizosphere was associated with eukaryotes sequences. The functional Enzyme analysis identified common environmental metabolic pathways between date palm cultivars related to carbon fixation, carbohydrates, and amino acids. The environmental metabolic pathways related to degradation were only identified in the Sukkari cultivar rhizosphere. These findings might indicate distinguished microorganisms associated with each date palm cultivar rhizosphere and might be exploited to enhance soil health and agricultural practices.

Published: May 2022

Global infections, such as diarrhea and acute respiratory disease, have urged the researchers in this area to discover coumarin-scaffold antibacterial agents, most widely used therapeutic drugs worldwide. This research aims to synthesize 3-substituted coumarins using microwave-assisted and evaluate their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, salicylaldehyde with numerous activated methylenes has been used to synthesize 3-substituted coumarins following Knoevenagel condensation assisted by microwave irradiation. The highest yield of 3-acetylcoumarin was achieved using ethyl acetoacetate at the molar ratio of 1.2:1 (mol/mol) and 30 mol% of diethylamine using 100W microwave irradiation for 60 s under neat condition (43.65+0.50%). Moreover, ethyl coumarin-3-carboxylate (16.33%) was successfully synthesized using the optimum condition of 3-acetylcoumarin from diethyl malonate as activated methylene with a longer reaction time (900 s). However, the trial to afford 3-cyanocoumarin was failed from ethyl cyanoacetate and malononitrile as activated methylenes under the optimum condition of 3-acetylcoumarin. The inhibition zones of 3-acetylcoumarin and ethyl coumarin-3-carboxylate on disc diffusion assay towards E. coli at concentrations higher than 250 ppm showed weak activity, ranging from 1.9-3.6 mm. In contrast, both compounds showed no inhibition zone against S. aureus at all tested concentrations. This finding reveals that 3-substituted coumarins can be synthesized by low wattage microwave irradiation and solvent-free with moderate yield with ethyl acetoacetate is the most reactive methylene. Furthermore, this work proposes some corrections to assign proton and carbon chemical shifts in 3-substituted coumarins by analyzing HSQC and HMBC experiments in NMR measurement.
Atherosclerosis Vaccine: A Review
Authors: Laksono Sidhi , Kusharsamita Hillary
Published: May 2022

Atherosclerosis is the world's largest pathological contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Since atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which the immune system plays an important role, it would be interesting to consider new techniques for targeting immune or inflammatory components as a novel approach to inflammation and atherosclerosis. Vaccination against atherosclerosis has been tested as a potential approach to overcome the condition. This study aims to review the current potential types of antigens for the atherosclerosis vaccine. We also aim to examine the challenges of the atherosclerosis vaccine for future research since there were significant gaps in evidence for human samples for vaccination testing and side effects in the atherosclerosis vaccine. The various potential of antigens for atherosclerosis vaccine includes lipid-related antigens (OXLDL apoB100, CETP, PCSK9) and non-lipid-related antigens (MHC II deprived peptides, HSP, S. Pneumoniae, interleukin, oral DNA vaccination, fibronectin, B2 glycoprotein, C5a receptor, plant base). The current study shows that atherosclerosis vaccination may not be used to treat humans since most studies have been done on animals and very few on humans. Further study in humans is required, in addition to continuing animal research, to evaluate atheroprotective efficacy and side effects.

Published: May 2022

Technological advancement has allowed people to work from anywhere remotely connected through the internet and it's popularly called working from home. Like working from the office, working from home also poses some challenges to employees, and dealing with them is highly important as it can affect the employees' personal and professional life which will eventually hamper the growth of the organization. Balancing personal life and work is crucial in any mode of work. In this research, we tried to cover almost all the challenges in the questions form an employee can face while working from home. In this research, we asked questions to 345 professionals who have experience working from home using online forms. The results have been interesting as most of them face one or another type of problem. Although the majority of people have said that they would like to split the time equally between their normal place of work and home in the future, people do prefer to work from their normal place of work when the restrictions of the pandemic are lifted, more than those people who would like to work from home.

La realidad desafiante del teletrabajo producido por la pandemia que se inició en el año 2020 ha traído cambios en la dinámica de las organizaciones, desencadenando problemas   de carácter   sanitario y económico, siendo el causante de ello, el virus COVID -19 (Tyler, C., Campines Barría, F., & González Jiménez, T. 2021). Este estudio analiza las competencias presentes en los teletrabajadores desde la perspectiva de sus líderes y la aplicación de buenas prácticas a nivel organizacional como consecuencia de las medidas tomadas para evitar la propagación del virus COVID-19 que afectó el área laboral, en ese sentido, las empresas vieron la necesidad de enviar empleados a la modalidad de teletrabajo. La investigación es descriptiva, de campo, transitoria, la muestra estuvo conformada por 110 empleados de empresas en Panamá que respondieron un cuestionario en línea y estaban trabajando en teletrabajo o jornadas mixtas. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que las competencias relacionadas con la automotivación, ser autodidacta con las nuevas tecnologías se ven afectadas ocasionalmente, solo el 29,2% siente que desarrolla su creatividad y autonomía, y el 27,8% que puede cumplir eficazmente con las normas y políticas, así mismo, el cumplimiento de las políticas o la consecución de objetivos en comparación con el trabajo en la sede también se observa con una disminución notable. Los teletrabajadores proyectan una baja iniciativa e independencia para resolver los conflictos presentados y trabajan con más estrés y exigencias en el cumplimiento de su trabajo diario, siendo el bienestar el más afectado cuando los teletrabajadores reportan que solo el 8,3% puede mantener un equilibrio en su vida familiar y laboral.

Europol als Akteur in der Sicherheitsarchitektur der EU
Authors: Schröder Gorden
Published: May 2022

The establishment and activities of Europol have resulted in considerable Europeanisation in the fight against serious and organised crime in Germany. These processes of change encompass legal and organisational structures as well as strategic and operational approaches in police work. As regards their underlying mechanisms, a simple cause-and-effect relationship is not suitable. Instead, Europeanisation in connection to Europol is predominantly driven by socialisation and learning processes which are heavily influenced by domestic preferences and interests. This study allows insights into a research field which has barely been analysed and provides approaches for future research activities.

The transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/771 by 1-1-2022 involves the biggest reform in the German law of obligations in 20 years. Provisions on the conformity of the goods with both the contract and reasonable expectations of the buyer are the centerpiece of the Directive. In the course of the transposition the German provisions concerning defects have been submitted to considerable textual change. The work considers, to what extend this translates into substantial alterations in the concept of defects as key element of the German law on the sale of goods. To this end, the established elements of a defect according to former §§ 434, 435 German Civil Code have been compared to the requirements for conformity stipulated by the Directive.
Datenschutzrechtliche Pflichten, Sanktionsregime und Selbstbelastungsfreiheit

With the aim of ensuring an effective protection of personal data, the GDPR gives supervisory authorities the power to impose severe administrative fines in the event of data breaches. On the other hand, controllers and processors are required to cooperate with the authorities to a large extent. The author deals with the obligations to cooperate under the GDPR, especially from the point of view of their potential for self-incrimination, and in this context touches on substantive and procedural issues of the law on fines. The main focus of this study is on the question of an emerging tension between the obligations and the principle of nemo tenetur.

Stable isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N) of human bones have been crucial for understanding the diets of Neolithic societies. However, isotopic measurements of wild and cultivated vegetal resources have not as yet been integrated into reconstructions of human diets. This study explores the isotopic variations in seed and fruit remains from seven Neolithic sites in Southern France. It aims to understand environmental and/or anthropic factors that could influence the isotopic ratios. These data are then included in a dietary model for individuals found at the same sites or nearby. Analysis of botanical remains indicate that similar environments do not provide homogeneous values. For some sites, results suggest different cultivation practices according to species. The dietary models confirm some interpretations previously proposed, including a diversity in the dietary habits at one site. However, some aspects of the diet could have been under-estimated, such as the consumption of wild food plants.

Objectives: COVID-19 pandemic imposed a relevant number of stressful factors potentially impacting either daytime function or sleep quality. This study aimed to assess the sleep quality and anxiety among the general population living in Egypt.

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,000 individuals who have been recruited via a convenience sample. A predesigned questionnaire was distributed online to collect data on sleep quality using the validated Arabic version of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, anxiety disorders by the generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) scale, demographic characteristics, and clinical history.

Results: Among the study participants (33.8% males, 46.2% healthcare workers, 25% had chronic diseases, 30.1% were physically active during lockdown, and 70.3% reported work termination due to COVID-19 infection, 68.4% complained of bad sleep and 70.3% showed clinically significant levels of anxiety). In multiple logistic regression analysis, bad sleep quality was significantly associated with moderate anxiety (OR: 1.88; [95% CI: 1.37-2.60]), severe anxiety (OR: 3.15; [95% CI: 2.18-4.55]), being physically active (OR: 0.53; [95% CI: 0.39-0.71]), received higher education as being postgraduate (OR: 0.56; [95% CI: 0.35-0.92]), or living with family (OR: 0.74; [95% CI :0.56-0.98]).The GAD-7 scale added 8% discrimination power for prediction of bad sleep quality compared to the model based on demographic and clinical data [with GAD: AUC=0.70, p<0.001; without GAD: AUC=0.62, p<0.001].

Conclusion: COVID-19 had a significant impact on sleep quality and anxiety among Egyptians. Since both the conditions may overlap and potentiate each other leading to chronic dysfunctional outcomes, an accurate assessment and clinical approach may favor a better prognosis.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Within the prison environment, where strict surveillance and prompt decision-taking are essential to maintain security, poor sleep may be hazardous to correctional officers. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of and identify factors associated with severe sleep disorders in correctional officers.

Material and Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study comprised all correctional officers in a prison complex in Salvador city, Brazil. Information about sleep quality, sociodemographic and occupational aspects, lifestyle habits, and common mental disorders (self-reporting questionnaire-20 score ≥7 points) were collected via a self-administered questionnaire. Severe sleep disorder was defined as a score ≥31 points according to the mini sleep questionnaire. The measure of association used was the prevalence ratio (PR). Prevalence ratios were estimated by using a Cox multivariate regression model. The final adjusted model only included the variables that presented a prevalence ratio ≥1.20.

Results: The prevalence of severe sleep disorders in the 374 correctional officers was 55.3%, and was strongly (prevalence ratio ≥1.20) associated with number of stressful activities at work (RPs=1.24, 1.19, and 1.17), number of attack and threat events against the correctional officers over the last 12 months (RPs showing gradient, 1.11, 1.24, and 1.41), common mental disorders (RP=2,24), and non-White skin color (RP=1,37).

Conclusion: This study found high prevalence of severe sleep disorders in correctional officers, associated with impairment of their mental health, skin color, and, particularly, with situations of stress and violence at work. These factors must be taken into account when planning and providing health care to these workers.

Embaralhar imagens. A colagem como exercício na educação geográfica
Authors:   Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, Pont Karina Rousseng Dal
Published: May 2022

Decomposição, justaposição e sobreposição são alguns dos princípios da colagem. Utilizada como processo técnico no Japão desde o século XII, esta linguagem ganha impulso no mundo moderno com os dadaístas na primeira metade do século XX. Com as obras Andy Warhol 1 e Roy Licheinstein 2 , e a Pop art na década de 1960 que a colagem abre espaço nas artes visuais. Se destaca ao tecer críticas aos modos como a sociedade se organizava, principalmente pela apropriação dos objetos de consumo. Este movimento artístico assegura "a colagem como procedimento estético" (VARGAS, 2011, p.52) ao confrontar a arte tradicional, ao mesmo tempo em que provocam os expectadores a refletir sobre questões da sociedade moderna em vigência, como consumismo, as guerras e a produção de produtos em série. Mas, qual a potência da colagem ao aproximá-la da educação geográfica?

Violencia ejercida a niños, niñas y adolescentes en el ámbito familiar
Authors: Rodríguez Fernández Ascensión Gumersinda
Published: May 2022

The present study aims to review the concept of violence against children in the family, from a socio-legal perspective, with the purpose of clarifying and making visible its scope, typology and risk factors. At present this phenomenon has maintained a constant growth, reaching really worrying numbers, without for the moment, the legislative advances introduced by Laws 8/2015 and 26/2015, of modification of the system of protection of childhood and adolescence , allow to deduce a change of tendency. The early detection, prevention and protection of battered children requires redoubling coordinated efforts from different agencies and institutions, to serve this especially vulnerable group.

Temporal trends in the prevalence of metabolically healthy overweight and obesity in Korean youth: data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2019
Authors: Kim Hwa Young , Kim Jae Hyun
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Metabolically healthy overweight/obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) are distinct clinical phenotypes classified by the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors in an individual. In the present study, we investigated temporal trends in the prevalence of MHO in Korean adolescents using nationally representative data.Methods: Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2019 were used in this study. A total of 5,667 adolescents (3,014 boys, 53.2%) aged 10–18 years was included in this study. MHO was defined as a body mass index ≥85th percentile for the corresponding age and sex and absence of any cardiometabolic risk factors.Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity showed an increasing trend from 18.8% (boys 17.3% and girls 20.6%) in 2011 to 23.7% (boys 24.0% and girls 23.5%) in 2019 (p for trend=0.045). The overall prevalence of MHO during 2011–2019 was 39.2%, which was higher in girls than in boys (boys 33.5%, girls 46.2%, p<0.001), and the change in prevalence of MHO from 2011 to 2019 (from 34.8% to 35.7%) was not significant. Among MUO, the most prevalent cardiometabolic risk factor was dysglycemia (48.8%), followed by elevated blood pressure (41.5%), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (35.0%), and high triglycerides (29.7%).Conclusion: We observed a high prevalence of MHO in Korean youth with overweight/obesity. Although the prevalence of overweight/obesity increased, the prevalence of MHO was stable during 2011-2019. A risk-stratified approach based on metabolic health status can help reducing the medical and socioeconomic costs associated with obesity treatment.
The effect of metformin on vitamin B12 level in pediatric patients
Authors: Yu Y. Miles , So Simon K.C. , Khallouq Bertha Ben
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Metformin is a common medication for patients with hyperglycemia. In adults, one well-documented side effect of metformin is vitamin B12 deficiency. However, this side effect has rarely been studied in pediatric patients. This study examined the changes of vitamin B12 level in pediatric patients being treated with metformin.Methods: Data were collected from pediatric patients (n=151) with at least 3 months of consecutive metformin intake. The effects of dose of metformin on the mean vitamin B12 level were investigated at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months. The effect of compliance of metformin intake on vitamin B12 level also was studied.Results: There was no significant decrease in mean vitamin B12 level at 6, 12, 24, or 36 months in patients treated with metformin. Mean vitamin B12 decrease was only noticeable (p<0.05) in patients taking a high dose of metformin with good compliance. Despite this change, the mean vitamin B12 remained well within the normal reference range. Furthermore, of the 151 patients studied, only 1 demonstrated vitamin B12 deficiency after 12 months of treatment. However, his B12 level was normal at 24 and 36 months without any vitamin B12 supplements. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that metformin treatment in children does not cause vitamin B12 deficiency; however, the effect of long-term consistent high-dose treatment on vitamin B12 level remains unknown.
