The konjac plant is thought to be a nutritious meal that is good for both beauty and health. Konjac exports from Indonesia to other countries grew as a result in 2020. Nevertheless, a sharp fall was observed at the end of 2021, despite the fact that many Indonesian farmers had shifted to Konjac plants. The researcher will continue the research series with Konjac plant objects in 2022 because there are so many questions and rumors surrounding this plant. The purpose of this study is to interpret the meaning of YouTube accounts that talk about konjac plants. By generating codes from all the words collected from the 30 YouTube accounts examined, the study employed a qualitative content analysis methodology. Three code frameworks were identified as being relevant to the Konjac problem: Konjac, the Government, and Export. The Government of Indonesia appealed the findings of these three regulations regarding the attitudes of farmers who support and oppose the growing of konjac. The Indonesian government is viewed as being unprepared to deal with both the farmers themselves and the global market, and thus disregards the quality of Konjac crops for export. Conclusion: In order to improve the quality of products that will be exported and brand Konjac plants for the global market, coordination and engagement between farmers and the Indonesian government are required, as well as the involvement of academics.
A “Notification” on The Use of Social Media as A Means of Community Resilience in Crisis Management
Authors:   Selçuk University, Çerçi Ümmü Özlem
Published: September 2024

This comparative study explores the role of social media in building community resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on citizens' communication habits. Community resilience, defined as the ability to withstand, adapt, and recover from adverse situations, is crucial, especially in the face of crises like pandemics. Effective strategic communication with the target audience is vital for creating and maintaining community resilience. Strategic communication plays a key role in helping communities prepare, respond, and recover by providing clear information, encouraging cooperation, and fostering adaptable behaviors. In the digital age, where a significant portion of the population lives online, social media platforms serve as essential tools for collecting information, disseminating crisis-related news, mobilizing the audience, and contributing to crisis management efforts. This study, conducted between May 5-10, 2020, with 800 participants from Turkey and 800 from the USA, reveals that individuals in both countries spend a considerable amount of time online, utilizing at least 3-4 social media applications. Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are identified as popular platforms. Most importantly, both Turkey and the United States demonstrate resilient societies, and there is a significant correlation between community resilience and the use of social media for obtaining information during the Covid-19 crisis. This emphasizes the critical role of crisis communication as a key success factor in building community resilience.

Die Pflicht des Staates zum Schutz der Menschen vor gesundheitsschädlichem Straßen- und Schienenverkehrslärm durch Lärmsanierung
Authors: Kupfer Dominik
Published: September 2024

Nach wie vor besteht ein hoher Handlungsbedarf für den Bundesgesetzgeber, das Recht zum Schutz der Bevölkerung vor Verkehrslärm deutlich zu verbessern. Angesichts der Häufigkeit hoher Lärmbelastungssituationen stellt das Fehlen einer gesetzlich verankerten Lärmsanierung keine bloß punktuelle Unzulänglichkeit des nationalen Lärmschutzrechts dar. Der Gesetzgeber sollte die Schwelle zur gesundheitsschädlichen Lärmbelastung mit Werten von maximal 65 dB(A) tags und 55 dB(A) nachts bestimmen und dabei festlegen, dass zumindest der durch Straßen- und Schienenverkehr verursachte Lärm gemeinsam betrachtet wird.
Akustik abgehängter Unterdecken/Acoustics of suspended suspended ceilings Longitudinal sound insulation and sound absorption of suspended ceilings
Authors: Goecke David , Öhler Sven , Koehler Mark
Published: September 2024

Abgehängte Unterdecken beeinflussen die Schalldämmung zwischen Räumen sowie die Raumakustik. Der Deckenhohlraum zwischen Unter- und Rohbaudecke, der durch die sogenannte Abhängehöhe definiert wird, stellt dabei einen maßgebenden Parameter für die beiden akustischen Effekte dar. Nach DIN EN ISO 10848 [1] soll die Norm-Flankenschallpegeldifferenz im Labor bei einer Abhängehöhe von 700 bis 800 mm ermittelt werden. Die Schallabsorption von Unterdecken wird nach DIN EN ISO 354 [2] standardmäßig mit 200 beziehungsweise 400 mm Abhängehöhe im Hallraum mit umlaufendem Holzrahmen gemessen. In der Praxis findet man bei Gebäuden unterhalb der Hochhausgrenze (zum Beispiel Schulen, Büros und viele Hotelgebäude) meist geringere Geschosshöhen mit Abhängehöhen von 150 bis 300 mm vor. Die Laborwerte werden von Planern notgedrungen trotzdem für Prognosen verwendet, ungeachtet der Unsicherheiten dieser Werte bezüglich der tatsächlichen Abhängehöhe. Diese Tatsache birgt ein großes Potenzial von Schallschutzmängeln. Aus diesem Grund werden in einem Forschungsprojekt am Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik IBP Werte für beide Messverfahren mit vergleichbaren Abhängehöhen von etwa 150 bis 800 mm ermittelt und einander gegenübergestellt. Schließlich wird ein Prognosemodell für die nachträgliche Umrechnung von Messergebnissen für beliebige Abhängehöhen erstellt. Das Excel-basierte Berechnungsprogramm unterstützt bei der Planung und Hersteller bei der Entwicklung neuer Deckensysteme.

Indonesia is an agricultural country where the majority of its population makes a living from agriculture. The agricultural sector is a very important sector for economic development in an agricultural country like Indonesia. Poor irrigation facilities greatly affect the results of the agricultural sector. Crop quality is based on many factors such as the characteristics of the irrigation process, including the amount of air and irrigation time. Overwatering irrigation can cause air wastage, soil freezing disease, yellowing of plant leaves, wilting of plant leaves, and many other problems. K-Means clustering is a method used to group data into one or more groups or clusters. The advantages of the K-Means algorithm are that it is easy and simple to implement, scalability, speed in convergence, and the ability to adapt to sparse data. K-Means to group agricultural land based on soil fertility and rainfall data, found that this grouping can help in more efficient irrigation planning. The clustering results show that agricultural land can be divided into three main clusters based on soil fertility and irrigation. Soil fertility is formed into three clusters based on the level of soil fertility using the Kmeans algorithm which can also be effective in helping in the Indonesian agricultural sector. By adding technological elements, the results provided will of course be even better.

Using a multilocus panel of microsatellites, the allele pool of Livni breed populations was assessed in five-year dynamics (from 2018 to 2022) and in comparison with commercial breeds (Large White and Landrace). We identified alleles, which were found in Livni breed and absent in commercial breeds. However, there was a tendency towards the loss of certain alleles in the dynamics of the analyzed period. It was shown that observed heterozygosity in the population of Livni breed in 2022 was significantly higher (P<0.05) compared to those estimated in commercial breeds. Based on principal component analysis, genetic network construction, and cluster analysis, the preservation of authentic genomic components, which were predominant in Livni breed, in the modern population is shown.

Exploring the Non-Invasive Methods of Brain- Computer Interface: A Comprehensive Review of their Advances and Applications
Authors: S. Krishna Harsha , Pulikkal Salama
Published: September 2024

The brain-computer interface technology allows the human brain to control external devices directly without using the brain’s output channels or peripheral nerves. It helps individuals with motor impairments to use mechanical and external devices to communicate with the outside world. Non-invasive BCIs allow communication between the human brain and external devices without the need for surgeries or invasive procedures. Methods like EEG, MEG, fMRI, and fNIRS are used. EEG enables the acquisition of electrical activity along the scalp by measuring voltage fluctuations and neurotransmission activity in the brain. The electrodes are attached to a cap-like device and are placed on the scalp to record the electrical current generated by the brain. Unlike MEG, which necessitates specially constructed rooms, EEG is portable. Lab-grade EEG is expensive but cheaper than other forms of BCI. MEG uses magnetometers to measure magnetic fields produced by electric currents occurring naturally in the brain. MEG is better than EEG at measuring high-frequency activity. MEG signals are less distorted by the skull layer. FMRI records blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals with high spatial resolution across the entire brain. It does this by tracking the hemodynamic response, which is the increase in blood flow to active brain areas. It does this using the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance, where hydrogen atoms in water molecules in the blood emit signals when subjected to a strong magnetic field. It has an advantage over EEG due to its superior spatial specificity and resolution. FNIRS measures the blood flow and oxygenation in the blood associated with neural activity. It gains insight into the brain's hemodynamic response, which is essential for understanding neural functioning during BCI tasks.

Stakeholder dynamics and territorial disputes in nature reserves management: A case of Cwebe community, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Authors: Nyamahono James Donald
Published: September 2024

Nature reserves are important ideational spaces where global goals on environmental conservation can be achieved. However, their management is complex and challenging when multiple stakeholders claim ownership and control. This study was centered on this debate and explored stakeholder dynamics and territorial disputes around nature reserves, with a focus on Mhlanganisweni and eLalini Villages situated adjacent to Cwebe Nature Reserve (used interchangeably with 'the Nature Reserve') in South Africa. The aim was to understand the dynamics of the relationship between local communities and the Nature Reserve management, and to investigate how these factors contribute to territorial disputes and their consequences. Qualitative data was collected from women, youth, the elderly, and traditional authorities on one hand, and the management of the Nature Reserve on the other. The study found complex stakeholder relationships among stakeholders, with local communities frequently losing out in territorial disputes. This outcome is evident from the territorial disputes that arise over exclusion in decision-making, natural resource exploitation, and conservation policies within and around the Nature Reserve. The study recommends the implementation of a more inclusive conservation framework that acknowledges the perspectives of multiple stakeholders.

High-quality marine economic development (HMED) is regarded as a new development pattern of the marine economy in China. This paper aims to examine the dynamic changes and improvement strategies of HMED from the perspective of the green total factor productivity (GTFP) growth. First, the GTFP growth of the marine economy in China’s coastal regions for the period 2007–2020 is calculated using the bootstrapped Malmquist index. Second, the dynamic changes and spatial impacts of the GTFP growth are characterized using kernel density estimation (KDE). Moreover, a novel analytical framework to study the improvement strategies of the GTFP is developed. Within this framework, the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method is used to explore the paths to achieve HMED. The findings show that: (i) the GTFP growth for coastal regions shows significant fluctuations, suggesting that a stable pattern of marine economic development has yet to be established; (ii) the regional distribution of GTFP growth varies significantly, with provinces with fast GTFP growth gathering resources from neighboring provinces, resulting in a siphon effect; (iii) for coastal provinces that lack certain development conditions, the combined effect of other advantageous factors can be used to achieve HMED. Finally, this study presents policy recommendations for achieving HMED, which can provide insights into the design of China’s future marine economic policies.

Primary mammary sarcomas are very rare, histologically heterogeneous non-epithelial malignant neoplasms. Primary undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor in the breast. It is characterized by marked cellular atypism and pleomorphism. Isolated cases with an aggressive course and poor prognosis have been commonly described in the literature. We present a rare case of a 62-year-old woman with an 18-cm solid tumor of the left breast, 6 months old, which grew rapidly during the last month. Physical examination and mammography revealed no enlarged lymph nodes in the left axilla. A total mastectomy was performed. The diagnosis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is challenging due to the lack of specific immunohistochemical markers. It can only be made after excluding other types of soft tissue sarcomas. This report discusses the histopathological and immunohistochemical studies that were conducted. Our case is distinguished from others with the same diagnosis by the atypical clinical presentation, which is painless, and the spontaneous bleeding, as well as the large size of the tumor.

This malignant tumor is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists due to the lack of consensus schemes.

Post-acute COVID syndrome (PACS), or long COVID, is a newly defined condition emerging as a widespread post-pandemic diagnosis with prevalent neuro-psychiatric symptoms and possible neuroinflammation-associated pathogenetic mechanisms.

We present the clinical case of a 29-year-old male patient who had mild COVID-19 infections, autoimmune illness (psoriasis), and suffered a post-COVID aggravation of psoriasis, along with other non-specific neuropsychiatric problems. The patient underwent computer-based neuropsychological testing (the CogState Battery), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a clinical interview since he fulfilled the criteria for a PACS diagnosis.

The acquired data showed poor results on most of the neuropsychological subtests during his follow-up visit, structural changes in the MRI, and a possible immune dysregulation with increased levels of immunoglobulin G. These results confirm that the nonspecific neuro-psychiatric post-COVID complaints are associated with objective findings.
Impact of working environment on the level of occupational burnout among community pharmacists – a pilot study
Authors: Ivanova Mariya , Todorova Anna , Grekova-Kafalova Daniela
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The disorder known as burnout develops as a reaction to the damaging impacts of workplace stress. When occupational stress is poorly managed, it can result in burnout, which has a detrimental impact on workers’ performance and emotional and physical well-being. Those who work in the helping profession are the most vulnerable. Pharmacy practitioners are among the most vulnerable groups in the healthcare industry.

Aim: The aim of the study was to look into how community pharmacists’ work environments affect their levels of occupational burnout.

Materials and methods: The current survey included 127 pharmacists holders of a Master of Pharmacy degree who practice in Bulgaria’s northeast. A paper-based questionnaire with details about the workplace of these pharmacists and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS-MP), a validated assessment instrument, were used to conduct the survey.

Results: The majority of those surveyed (53%) had a medium to high degree of burnout at work. The highest percentage of pharmacists (51%) received high scores on the depersonalization scale, which is associated with a lack of motivation for providing patient care. The degree of burnout was found to be unaffected by the kind of community pharmacy – chain or individually owned. Burnout was more prevalent among responsible and non-responsible pharmacists than among pharmacy owners.

Conclusion: It was determined that pharmacists needed training and preventative measures to avoid occupational burnout, even though there was no evidence of a statistically significant relationship between the job position and burnout.
Description of a new species of the genus Oreonectes (Teleostei, Cypriniformes, Nemacheilidae) from Guangxi, China

Published: September 2024

A new loach species, Oreonectes zhangisp. nov., was identified from Xingye County, Yulin City, Guangxi, China. The species can be distinguished from all other congeners by a combination of the following characters: six branched pelvic-fin rays; a reduced posterior chamber of air-bladder; vertebrae 4 + 32; the tip of the male pelvic fin does not reach the anus. Molecular analyses using the Cyt b gene showed that the new species forms a monophyletic group and is closely related to O. damingshanensis.
Comparison of Objective and Subjective Visual Outcomes Between Pentafocal and Trifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lenses

Published: September 2024

Purpose:

To compare the clinical and aberrometric outcomes obtained with a new diffractive pentafocal intraocular lens (IOL) and a diffractive trifocal IOL.

Methods:

Patients bilaterally implanted with the pentafocal Intensity SeeLens IOL (Hanita Lenses) (n = 30) and the trifocal FineVision POD F IOL (PhysIOL) (n = 30) during cataract surgery were studied after 1 month for refraction, visual acuity, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, Hartmann-Shack aberration, and double-pass aberration. The Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire was used to evaluate visual comfort.

Results:

Distance and near visual acuities were similar with the two IOLs, but distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity was better with the Intensity IOLs (0.03 ± 0.04 vs 0.11 ± 0.04 logMAR in the FineVision eyes,
P
< .01). The difference between objective and subjective refraction was more myopic for the Intensity IOL (−1.15 vs −0.29 diopters [D]). The defocus curve was flatter with the Intensity IOL. Contrast sensitivity was similar in both IOLs. Hartmann-Shack aberration and double-pass aberration were similar, but the modulation transfer function cut-off value was worse with the Intensity IOL: 11.6 ± 2.7 vs 15.3 ± 4.9 (
P
< .01). QoV scores were better with the Intensity IOL, in particular for glare, halos, and starburst.

Conclusions:

In this comparative series, the pentafocal Intensity IOL provided better intermediate vision and better defocus curve than the FineVision IOL, with comparable distance and near vision. The optical disturbances as reported by the patients were higher with the FineVision IOL. Additional studies will better define the aberration profile obtained with the pentafocal IOL.

Modification of coot optimization algorithm (COA) with adaptive sigmoid increasing inertia weight for global optimization
Authors: Twumasi Elvis , Archer Ebenezer , Addo Emmanuel O. , Frimpong Emmanuel A.
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the classical coot optimization algorithm (COA) is modified to improve its overall performance in the exploration phase by adding an adaptive sigmoid inertia weight-based method. The modified coot optimization algorithm (mCOA) was successfully assessed using 13 standard benchmark test functions, which are frequently used to evaluate metaheuristic optimization algorithms. The MATLAB software was utilized to conduct simulation tests, and the outcome was compared with the performance of the original COA, the particle swarm optimization, and the genetic algorithm reported in the literature. The findings showed that the proposed algorithm outperformed the other algorithms on ten (10) of the 13 benchmark functions, while it maintained a competitive performance on the remaining three benchmark test functions. This indicates that mCOA provides a significant improvement to the original COA, thus making it suitable for resolving optimization problems in diverse fields. As a result, the proposed algorithm is recommended for adoption to solve real-life engineering optimization problems.
