ABSTRAK

Latar Belakang : Osteoarhtritis (OA) salah satu kondisi patologi yang sering terlihat pada lansia. osteoarhtritis lutut salah satu penyebab gangguan  muskuloskeletal dan gangguan degeneratif sendi yang paling banyak ditemui, akibat dari penyakit ini pada lansia adalah nyeri kronis pada persendian tubuh, problematik pada osteoarhtritis lutut sangat komplek karena adanya abrasi tulang rawan sendi dan pembentukan tulang baru pada permukaan persendian yang mampu menyebabkan kelemahan otot sehingga membatasi gerak dan menyebabkan nyeri. Penyakit degeneratif pada lutut dapat menyebabkan permukaan sendi lutut menjadi tidak teratur dan kasar, ini akan menyebabkan rasa sakit dan bengkak pada lutut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penatalaksanaan metode kinesiotapping, hold relax streatching dan modalitas us phonoporesis dalam menurunkan nyeri, meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan lingkup gerak sendi (LGS) pada kasus osteoarhtritis. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode studi kasus dengan 1 orang responden menggunakan alat ukur VAS untuk mengukur nyeri, MMT untuk mengukur kekuatan otot dan goneometer untuk mengukur LGS. Hasil dari penelitian yang dilakukan di Kecamatan Kota Baru, Kota Jambi ini adalah metode kinesiotapping hold relax streatching, modalitas us phonoporesis selama 6 kali terapi dalam 3 minggu dapat menurunkan nyeri, meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan lingkup gerak sendi (LGS) pasien osteoarhtritis. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah us phonoporesis dapat menurunkan nyeri, kinesiotapping belum dapat meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan hold relax streatching dapat meningkatkan LGS pasien osteoarhtritis karena intervensi yang telah dilakukan dapat meningkatan kekuatan otot dan ketahanan otot intrinsik pada kaki, ketika otot intrinsik sudah kuat plantar fascia tidak bekerja dengan berat sehingga terjadi penurunan peradangan pada plantar fascia  sehingga dapat meningkatkan aktifitas fungsional.
Do Greek University Students Trust Social Media Regarding Science Related Issues? The Covid-19 Case
Authors: Vranias Konstantinos , Kyridis Argyrios
Published: November 2022

This research aimed in revealing the trends of Greek universities’ student population in terms of their trust in social media, focusing on information and news related to scientific issues, and particularly on issues related to Covid-19. The sample of our study consisted of 557 people studying in various faculties of Greek universities throughout the country. Their answers in a questionnaire were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Students’ answers revealed that despite they often resort to the use of social media and internet sources for informational purposes, they tend not to consider them as the most reliable source of obtaining information, regardless of the topic. They state that, contemplating the science and Covid-19 related information shared on social media platforms as unreliable and inaccurately presented, they try to cross-check it by drawing news from other media, a practice that contributes to them being able to distinguish fake news from true ones.

Los lipomas son neoplasias benignas conformadas por adipocitos bien diferenciados, delimitados por un delicado estroma fibroso reticular. Éstos constituyen el tumor cutáneo más frecuente en aves, siendo masas blandas que generalmente aparecen en el tejido subcutáneo. Se describe el caso de un loro amazónico (Amazona aestiva) en cautiverio, que fue llevado a consulta debido a una masa ulcerada en la región de la cadera. El diagnóstico citológico refirió que se trataba de un lipoma, y ante la ineficacia del tratamiento local, se procedió con la extirpación quirúrgica de la masa. El tratamiento posquirúrgico consistió en limpiezas con clorhexidina al 0,5 % por 15 días (d), e ibuprofeno por vía oral, por 3 d. La masa fue remitida para su estudio histopatológico, refiriendo como diagnóstico morfológico un fibrolipoma. Los puntos de sutura fueron retirados a los 18 d, observándose una cicatrización completa.
A technológiai fejlődés hozzájárulása a fenntarthatósághoz az agrárgazdaságban
Authors: Takácsné György Katalin
Published: November 2022

Az élelmezésbiztonság és élelmiszer-biztonság számos kihívást támaszt a mezőgazdasági termeléssel szemben, amelyekre a technológiai fejlődés mellett szükséges az adaptációs képesség és készség. A humán tényező szerepe a technológiai tudáson messze túlmutat, a fogyasztói szokások, a társadalmi értékrend és változásuk, a társadalmi innovációk is a fenntarthatóságot kell, hogy szolgálják. A mezőgazdasági termelés során a technológiák adott rendszer ismeretén alapuló helyes alkalmazása, megfelelő termelői stratégia kialakítása elengedhetetlen feltétel az üzemi szintű (gazdasági) fenntartható működésnek, de a fejlődés napjainkban elképzelhetetlen az agrárdigitalizáció, a klímaorientált okos mezőgazdaság megoldásainak adaptálása nélkül. A lokális gazdaság képezi az alapját az élhető helyi közösségek (társadalmi fenntarthatóság) fejlődésének, aminek szorosan együtt kell járnia a tágabb értelemben vett környezeti fenntartható fejlődéssel. A tanulmány a fenti elméleti összefüggésrendszert járja körül szakirodalom alapján, hangsúlyt fektetve az agrárdigitalizáció mentén a Mezőgazdaság 4.0, a klímaorientált okos mezőgazdaság (CSA) kérdésekre. A szakirodalom szintézise alapján a legfontosabb megállapítás, hogy paradigmaváltásra van szükség a korábbi növekedéscentrikus és fogyasztásösztönző gondolkodáshoz képest az élet minden területén. Az innováció iránya mind társadalmi, mind gazdasági szempontból a korlátozott erőforrások racionális felhasználása, továbbá az okszerűség irányába kell, hogy forduljon.
Az agrárszakember-képzés az élelmiszerlánc biztonságáért
Authors: Szendrő Éva
Published: November 2022

Az elmúlt évtizedek éleződő biztonságpolitikai helyzete, valamint a napjainkban zajló háborús események egyaránt előtérbe állítják az élelmiszerlánc biztonságának kérdését. Sebezhetősége, valamint a társadalmi szükségletek kielégítésében betöltött jelentős szerepe miatt kiemelten fontos feladatként kell kezelni azélelmiszerlánc védelmét. Az elmúlt másfél évszázadban egyre inkább dominánssá váltak azok a nézeteltérések, amelyek még nem a hagyományos értelemben tekintett háborúk, de már a fegyveres szembenállás sajátos formái. Közülük kitűnnek az úgynevezett kis intenzitású konfliktusok, amelyek olyan politikai-katonai szembenállást jelentenek államok és/vagy társadalmi csoportok között, amikor a konfliktus szintje még a háborús szembenállás mértékét nem éri el, de már a békés versengésen túllép (Lakner et al., 2012). a XXI. század első évtizedét ilyen, kis intenzitású konfliktusok tömege jellemzi. A mai magyar felsőoktatásból azonban hiányzik a rendkívüli helyzetre való reagálásra történő szakember-felkészítés, holott ennek kiemelkedő fontossága kellene, hogy legyen! kutató munkámat szakértői interjúk készítésével kezdtem arra vonatkozóan, hogy milyen tényezők játszhatnak szerepet a rendkívüli helyzetek kezelésével kapcsolatos ismeretek átadásában. Ezt követően a szakértői interjúk alapján kérdőíves felmérést végeztem a magyar felsőoktatásban dolgozó oktatók körében arról, hogy milyen attitűdökkel rendelkeznek a rendkívüli helyzetekre történő felkészüléssel kapcsolatos ismeretek átadására vonatkozóan. A kérdőív kérdéseit két csoportra osztottam, egyrészt feltártam a válaszadók vizsgálataim szempontjából releváns szociodemográfiai jellemzőit, másrészt megvizsgáltam, hogy azok milyen módon azonosulnak az előzetes interjúk során összegyűjtött állításokkal. Kutatásaim azt igazolják, hogy a megkérdezett felsőoktatási dolgozók jelentős része elvben egyetért azzal, hogy az agrárszakemberek képzésébe be kellene építeni a rendkívüli helyzetekre történő felkészítést is, de sokan úgy ítélik meg, hogy nem szükséges az, hogy napjainkban ez a felsőoktatás fejlesztésének prioritásai közé tartozzon. Mindez arra világít rá, hogy az elmúlt években a felsőoktatási rendszer sokkal inkább önmagával, mint a dinamikusan változó világ új igényeire adható válaszok megfogalmazásával volt elfoglalva. Véleményem szerint a kérdéskör oktatásában innovatív, interaktív, élményt adó módszerekre és a felsőoktatási intézmények együttműködésére lenne szükség.
Seasonal gut contents of introduced Allegheny Crayfish (Faxonius obscurus) in an eastern Pennsylvania stream
Authors: Hartzell Sean M. , Wadena Lakota
Published: November 2022

Crayfish are important components of many freshwater ecosystems and play key roles as detritivores and/or carnivores. However, dietary studies are lacking for many species. Few data are available on the diet of Allegheny Crayfish (Faxonius obscurus), a common species native to western Pennsylvania and historically introduced into the central and eastern portions of the commonwealth. We collected Allegheny Crayfish from a site in eastern Pennsylvania from April to October and dissected specimens to evaluate the seasonal diet of this species. We found that gut contents in all months sampled primarily consisted of organic detritus (e.g., dead leaves and woody debris) and inorganic detritus (e.g., sand and silt), with small quantities of macroinvertebrate material and negligible vegetal material (macrophytes or algae). Generally, the diet of this species is similar those of other crayfish in the genus Faxonius.
A survey of soil bacterial diversity across a northeast Louisiana federal wildlife refuge
Authors: Minton Russell , Creech Clinton C. , Graham Daniel L. , Meyer Ashley D.
Published: November 2022

Soil microbial communities represent complex biological systems. Differences in these systems are attributable to a variety of factors, including soil series, plant communities, and anthropogenic land use. We assessed the microbial diversity of two ecoregions, three land usages, and seven soil series at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Monroe, Louisiana. We found significant differences in beta diversity between ecoregions and the sites and soil series located within them. Bacteria associated with agricultural practices were significantly more abundant at Ouachita River Backswamp sites, reflecting the historical land use of these areas. We found no significant differences between a managed prairie fragment and the Backswamp sites, suggesting that the microbial communities have not changed over 20 years post restoration. Our data provide meaningful baseline measures of bacterial community diversity and abundance for the refuge and highlight the necessity of managing these valuable soil resources in conjunction with plant and animal communities.

The effect of acute and chronic administration of the chloroform extract of the stem bark of P. americana on the blood glucose concentration (BGC) of normoglycaemic and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycaemic mice was investigated. Firstly, fifteen (15) young albino mice allocated into three groups of five animals each after a 12 hour overnight fast were treated as follows: group 1 – equi-volume of distilled water, group 11- a single acute dose of 1200 mg/kg IP chloroform extract of P. americana (equivalent to 75% of LD50) and group 111 – 20 mg/kg IP tolbutamide. Immediately after treatment, BGC was measured at 0, ½, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hrs. Secondly another population of 15 animals were shared into 3 groups of 5 animals each. Animals in group 1 were administered equi-volume of distilled water daily, group 11 and group 111 400 mg/kg IP (equivalent to 25% of LD50) extract of P. americana and 10 mg/kg IP of tolbutamide respectively daily for twenty- five days. BGC was measured on days 1, 5, 10, 15,20, 25. Changes in BGC of normoglycaemic and STZ-induced hyperglycaemic mice as a result of acute and chronic administration of extract was compared with values for tolbutamide (positive control) and distilled water (negative control). Results show that in normoglycaemic mice unlike the acute dose of 20 mg/kg IP reference drug tolbutamide, an acute dose of the extract (1200 mg/kg IP) did not significantly lower BGC. In the STZ-induced hyperglycaemic mice however, both the extract and the reference drug tolbutamide significantly lowered the BGC. With chronic administration both the extract and the reference drug significantly lower BGC in STZ-induced hyperglycaemic mice. It can be concluded therefore that acute and chronic administration of the chloroform extract of P. americana does have a hypoglycaemic activity only in STZ-induced hyperglycaemic mice. This may support the use of the stem bark of P. americana in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2, or COVID, was announced by WHO on February 11, 2020.  Examination of SARS-CoV2 by RTq-PCR method in Labkesda Kab. Sukabumi is one of the health service support units in the Sukabumi area. The number of PCR examination requests is increasing every day, whereas, at this stage, the temperature increase process should reach the recommended temperature of 90°C, which can take 20-25 minutes. Sometimes ATLM has processed specimens at 60°C - 90°C. Given the required temperature at the time of extraction, which is at a temperature of 90 degrees, here the researchers wanted to prove whether below 90 degrees had an effect on the virus extraction process. This study aims to determine the effect of differences in extraction temperature on the SARS-CoV2 RTq-PCR examination process on CT VALUE on patient specimens. The variable in this study was the difference in temperature consisting of 60°C, 80°C, and 90°C. This research used quantitative research methods with case studies. This study is an experimental study to determine the effect of temperature differences on the CT value of the RTq - PCR examination. The population of this study were 30 patients at LABKESDA Kabupaten Sukabumi. This analysis used a one-way ANOVA test analysis with software. IBM SPSS 23.0. It may be concluded that there is no significant difference in the CT Value findings on the SARS-CoV2 RTq-PCR Examination since the study's p-value was 0.758, which is more than 0.05.

Published: November 2022

The demand of medicinal plants is increasing in pharmaceutical industries due to the presence of differentsecondary metabolites. Due to this reason, different plant species are likely to become endangered or extinctdue to their medicinal importance. Sida cordifolia (Malvaceae) is one of them. It is a very valuable medicinalherb mentioned in Indian Ayurveda and other medicinal systems throughout the world. It iscommonlyknown as Bala. It is used to treat asthma, chronic dysentery, asthma, gonorrhea and as a fatburningsupplement. The entire plant is rich in secondary metabolites. It constitutes important bioactivecompoundssuch as ephedrine, vasicinone, vasicinol, palmitic, stearic acid. Tissue culturetechnique will provide anefficient method for propagation and conservation of this medicinal plant. For direct shoot regenerationfrom nodal explants under in vitro conditions, BAP performed better than Kn. Shoot regeneration wasfound maximum at 2.0 mg/l BAP. The plantlets were also tested for their salinity tolerance. Root, shootlength and biomass was not affected by low levels of salinity stress. However, high levels of salinity stress(200mM) reduced the shoot, root length and biomass drastically. For root induction, half-strength MS medium with 2.0 mg/l IBA and 3% (w/v) sucrose was found to be the best. Regenerated plants were found to bemorphologically similar to the mother plants. This protocol could be helpful for mass cultivation andgermplasm conservation of S. cordifolia.

Published: November 2022

The present study is an attempt to assess the growth and biochemical responses of Pongamia pinnata grownunder elevated levels of CO2 supply. Saplings (18 months) maintained in the nursery were brought toexperimentation in two growth chambers having controlled supply of air and air- CO2 mixture, for a periodof 15 days. The control and treated chambers were retained at an average CO2 concentration of 505.28Â±17.39 ppm and 1053.85Â± 24.99 ppm respectively. Day and night fluxes of CO2 within the chambers wereanalysed daily, along with a periodic assessment of the growth and biochemical responses associated withthe plants. A standardization study, excluding plants, was also attempted to assess the resultantflux ofCO2 associated with the growth chambers. The day flux of CO2 in the control and treatedchambers wasdifferent from that of the night flux in both experimentation and standardization studies. Higher CO2assimilation by the plants in the CO2 enriched system during the day time has also resulted in increasedplant height, stem thickness, leaf area and also in the assimilation of carbohydrates, sodium and potassium.Increased Carotenoids and phenol are implications of the stress to which the plants are subjected to underelevated levels of CO2 supply. The present study confirms that, despite certain signs of stress, Pongamiapinnata can be an ideal candidate for carbon offset planting.

Published: November 2022

This is an area where there is considerable disagreement on the definition of concepts, and what is right and wrong. Accordingly you should read widely and critically; never assume that you need to accept every concept and every assertion. You will probably be able to find an exception to every rule (see Feyer bend, 1975, for an extreme version of this principle).

These notes are intended as a brief overview of the main issues. It is important that you read in more depth on the specific issues of particular concern to you. For example, if you intend to conduct some interviews or a questionnaire survey, it is important that you consult a suitable source of guidance on surveys, interviews and questionnaires – eg Saunders et al (2003), Robson (2002), Easterby-Smith et al (2002).

According to (Balfour 2013), “Employee welfare refers to the efforts made by the employers to improve the working and living conditions over and above the wages paid to them. In its widest sense it comprises all matters affecting the health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the workmen, and includes provision for education, recreation, thrift schemes, convalescent homes”. It covers almost fields of activities of workers e.g., social, economic, industrial and educational. According to (N.M. Joshi, 2011) “Employee welfare work covers all the efforts which employers take for the benefit of their employees over and above the minimum standards of working conditions fixed by the Factories Act and over and above the provisions of the social legislation providing against accident, old age, unemployment and sickness”.

Institutional Response define as an argues that the role of institutions needs to be recognized in resilience building because, while the technical aspects of mitigation measures are important, their acceptance by the institutions should not be underestimated. In Uganda for example operating outside the disaster management policy and established institutions during disaster relief may be disastrous to a particular organization or individual Ekotu, (2012). Fatemeh, (2011) argues for a synergy whereby civic engagement should serve to strengthen state institutions and where effective state institutions create an environment in which civic engagement is more likely to thrive. Institutional response has the following attributes, Efficiency, Impact, Effectiveness and Relevance (Brooks, 2011).

Published: November 2022

The literature on the impact of war on economic condition of a country is very limited however a brief review of the available literature is presented below. Bloomberg et al. (2002) present an economic model of war, in which terrorist groups who are unhappy with the current situation in a country try to bring change by indulging in terrorist activities. Terrorist activities of such groups may have different results depending on the economic situation. Either they can reduce the economic activities by increasing war, or if more economic incentives are present in the economy then war is reduced for example, more employment opportunities can reduce the incentive to indulge in terrorist activities. Study is of the view that recessions in high income countries can result in higher probability of terrorist activities.
GOOD GOVERNANCE INITIATIVE IN THE LESS DEVELOPMENT COUNTRIES
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

For the European Union and UNDP (2006), the quality of governance is ultimately attributed to its democratic content. Thereby the promotion of ‘democratic governance’ is a core element in their development assistance strategy. UNDP argues that human development and governance are inseparable. From the human development perspective UNDP has stated that ‘good governance’ is ‘democratic governance. According to Brandi (2008), Democratic Governance is the glue that holds all the other development priorities set out across the MDG’s together. In post-conflict societies it is much advocated by the international community that democratic systems provides the best mechanisms for reconciliation and are the best guarantors of lasting peace  (Brandi &Clara, 2008).

According to Boex, Kimble and Pigey (2010), a government is essential to providing security, justice, economic, and social functions and to channeling the will, energies, and resources of both the indigenous population and the international community. According to Shah (2006), governments support peace building through encouraging institutional participation in peace building and democratic process of their countries.
CREDIT CONTROL ON DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Credit risk management is defined as identification, measurement, monitoring and control of risk arising from the possibility of default in loan repayments (Abdifatah& Ogle, 2010). Also Ogilo, (2012) defines Credit Risk Management to involve the process of making decisions relating to the investment of funds. Such decisions should be carefully analyzed as they are characterized by an element of uncertainty (Wanjira, 2010).

Credit extended to borrowers may be at the risk of default such that whereas banks extend credit on the understanding that borrowers will repay their loans, some borrowers usually defaults and as a result, banks income decrease due to the need to provision for the loans (Gaitho, Wangui, 2010). Where the commercial banks do not have an indication of what proportion of their borrowers will default, earnings will vary thus exposing the banks to an additional risk ofvariability of their profits (Boateng, 2012). Every financial institution bears a degree of risk when the institution lends to business and consumers and hence experiences some loan losses when certain borrowers fail to repay their loans as agreed (Kairu, 2009).

Published: November 2022

It is a concept synonymous with human behaviours. Since man cannot exist in isolation, then in the course of interactions with other members of the community there will be disagreements, intrigues and misunderstanding. The disagreement or misunderstanding occurs in forms of revolution or war. The reasons for the conflict may be as a result of cheating or struggle for a beneficial goal. To make peace and/or put an end to the conflicts, various measures are adopted by both parties and intervening parties to reach an agreement or compromise. In understanding the meaning of conflict, it must be seen from the perspective of inter-group relations whether, as individuals or groups.

Good employee competence is needed in order to establish a good service. The higher the competence of the employee, the higher the performance of the organization and vice versa. Employee competence is very important due to organizational performance improvement. In a private sector, qualified employees will improve the quality of the customer service, so that, an organization seems to always continue improving the quality of its customer service and provides a decent life for its customers (Abomaleh and Zahari, 2014). According to Spencer in Sutoto (2004), he defined competence as the underlying characteristic of an individual that is causally related to criterion referenced effective and or superior performance in a job situation. The concept of competence as the combination of skills, knowledge, behavior, experience and feeling of being in on things that Jubek state employees uses in carrying out their work and they are cited to achieving result.

Government policy define as an argues that the role of institutions needs to be recognized in resilience building because, while the technical aspects of mitigation measures are important, their acceptance by the institutions should not be underestimated. In Uganda for example operating outside the disaster management policy and established institutions during disaster relief may be disastrous to a particular organization or individual Ekotu, (2012). Fatemeh, (2011) argues for a synergy whereby civic engagement should serve to strengthen state institutions and where effective state institutions create an environment in which civic engagement is more likely to thrive. Government policy  has the following attributes, Efficiency, Impact, Effectiveness and Relevance (Brooks, 2011).

In this paper, a deterministic model SEIR-SEI model of malaria transmission consisting of systems of ordinary differential equations, describing the transmission of malaria between humans and female anopheles mosquitoes, the definitive hosts of Plasmodium parasites, is examined. The reproduction number is estimated and the model equilibria and their stabilities are discussed. The diseasefree equilibrium for the model is found to be locally asymptotically stable if the reproduction number is less than one and unstable if the reproduction number is greater than one. Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the analytical results, and suggest that malaria can be controlled by reducing the contact rate between human and mosquito, the use of active malaria drugs, insecticides and the use of mosquito treated nets.

Machine Learning (ML) is increasingly being used in intelligent systems that can perform Artificial Intelligence (AI) functions. Analytical model development and solving problems related with it may be automated by machine learning, which explains the ability of computers to learn from problem-specific learning algorithm. Depending on artificial neural networks, "deep learning" is a kind of machine learning. The performance of deep learning techniques is superior to that of superficial machine learning techniques and conventional methods of data analysis in many situations. Deep Machine Learning (DML) algorithms and frameworks that have been implemented to and supported by wireless communication systems have been thoroughly analyzed in this paper. User associations, power latency and allocation; bandwidth assignment and user selections, and; cloud computing technology on the edge have both been suggested as potential DML implementations.
An Evaluation of Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical System Integration
Authors: Margarita Burova
Published: November 2022

In order to make physical systems run more efficiently and effectively at multiple levels of information processing, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) combine physical processes, Computing, Communication, and Control (the 3Cs) into a single system. There are many factors that make solving the problem of packet transmission in CPS difficult, including unforeseeable node mobility, low number of nodes, lack of global data, and intermittent network access. Currently, there is no good answer to this problem in the literature. The impact of the CPS on engineered systems is much greater in the present and future. Cyber-physical system integration often presents unique challenges in the fields of design, implementation, and application. One of the goals of this research is to better understand the various definitions of an integrated CPS, as well as the growth of new research areas in this field. The application of CPSs faces a number of difficulties, including those related to efficiency, reliability, controllability, and security. We are moving forward in technological innovation with the development of CPSs and the Internet of Things (IoT). It is possible for engineers to gain a better understanding of engineering systems and management modules by utilizing the CPS-IoT models.
