Disorders affecting bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves are referred to as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Around the world, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for 17% of Years Lived Disability (YLD). The purpose of this study was to identify the variables associated with the prevalence of MSDs. Thirty convection workers made up the sample for this cross-sectional study. Nordic Body Map questionnaires and REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) measurement observation sheets are used in this study's data collection method. A final REBA score of 5 was obtained from the pattern and sewing stages, indicating that the situation is at medium risk and requires improvement. This condition needs to be improved right now because the last stage findings yielded a final REBA score of 3, which indicates that it is low risk. According to REBA's evaluation, five respondents (16.7%) were at a high-risk level, whereas 23 respondents (76.7%) were at a moderate-risk level. According to MSD complaints, all employees (36.7%) had minor concerns, while 63.3 percent had moderate problems. The incidence of MSDs was correlated with age (p value=0.000), working period (p value=0.000), physical activity (p value=0.009), and work posture (p value=0.041). There was no correlation between smoking habits and the incidence of MSDs (p value=0.425) or between sex and the incidence of MSDs. According to the REBA data, there is a moderate amount of risk (76.7%) associated with the worker's posture. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were moderately prevalent (63.3%) in the NBM assessment. Numerous people mentioned complaints regarding their right shoulders, buttocks, waists, and backs. To meet the nutritional demands of employees who work longer shifts, there is a necessity for relaxation or stretching for one to two hours during or after work.

Published: December 2024

Elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are susceptible to oral health problems. These issues may affect their oral health-related quality of life (OHR-QoL) such as speaking, eating, and other routines. Therefore, this type of patient needs to seek oral and dental care (ODC). This study examines the sociodemographic facets of ODC-seeking behavior among elderly DM patients in Indonesia by analyzing the 2021 Indonesia Healthcare and Social Security Agency (IHSSA) secondary dataset on first-level healthcare facility visits. This study's samples included 55,291 elderly patients aged 60 years and over, and 634,730 visits to FKTP overall. The analysis was conducted using percentages and cross-tabulations. The study finds that the proportion of ODC visits at the national level is extremely low (1.1%) and the proportion of patients who have oral health complications is likewise (6.6%). It appears that DM patients aged 60-69 (77.8%), male patients (78.6%), single patients (78%), and IHSS non-subsidy members (78.5%) are more likely to seek out ODC than their counterparts. The majority of DM patients have pulp and periapical diseases (46.5%), followed by gingival and periodontal diseases (20.3%), and dental caries (11.8%). There are also disparities among those variables on a regional level. Our study highlights the necessity of preventive action to minimize oral health problems and enhance OHR-QoL among elderly DM patients in Indonesia, by improving oral health education and regular oral examinations.

Published: December 2024

Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder affecting 2%-5% of pregnancies and remains a leading contributor to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of early onset. The disorder, commonly emerging around the 20th week of gestation, has a prevalence of approximately 14.1% and is a frequent pregnancy complication. This scoping review aims to examine recent studies on the early detection of pre-eclampsia risk factors. Articles published between 2016 and 2021 were sourced from databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science Direct. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies explore prediction models for gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, with three focusing on symptoms, signs, laboratory tests, biomarkers, and other associated risk factors. One study highlights family history, obesity, chronic illness, anemia, and lack of ANC visits as contributing factors. Two articles address the management of preeclampsia through initiatives like the PRE-EMPT (Eclampsia Monitoring, Prevention, and Treatment), while others emphasize community-level interventions and healthcare provider education (CLIP). Effective early detection models are essential to reduce preeclampsia incidence and prevent maternal and fetal mortality.

The purpose of this research is to prove the influence of husband education on maternal mental health after childbirth. This study used the data cross-sectional of Basic Health Research 2018 with the analysis sample being mothers aged 15-24 years who had just given birth for a maximum of six months and were still married. Maternal mental problems within one month were measured using Self-Reported Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20), This questionnaire consists of twenty questions with two answer choices; yes and no. A cut-off score of less than six stated to have postpartum mental problems. Multiple logistic regression was used in this analysis. Young postpartum mothers (n=755; 21 + 2.23 years; 37 + 2.31 weeks of pregnancy at birth), of which, There were 66 (8.7%) mothers had general mental problems. The results of the analysis stated that working mothers who have husbands with education below high school have a risk of postpartum mental problems five times (AOR = 5.36; 95% CI 1.398 – 2.552; p =0.014) higher than mothers with husbands educated above high school. Education is still an important part of overcoming health problems in Indonesia. Limiting the minimum age of marriage is also important so that the younger generation focuses on achieving their education, before entering the marriage level.
GIDA HAZIRLAMA VE PİŞİRME İŞLEMLERİNİN BİYOAKTİF BİLEŞİKLER ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: Çakır Muhammet Ali , Karagöz Açelya , Hırca Fatma Eylül , Doğan Aleyna
Published: December 2024

Biyoaktif bileşikler, bitkisel gıdalarda bulunan ve sağlığa olumlu etkileri olan doğal maddelerdir. Meyve, sebze, kuruyemiş, tohum ve baklagiller gibi bitkisel kaynaklar, bu bileşikler açısından zengin olup, kronik hastalıkların önlenmesinde önemli bir rol oynayabilir. Bu makalenin amacı, gıda işleme tekniklerinin biyoaktif bileşikler üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Özellikle, gıda işleme süreçlerinin antioksidan kapasite, fenolik bileşik içeriği ve biyoerişilebilirlik gibi önemli biyolojik özellikleri nasıl etkilediği araştırılmaktadır. Çalışma, gıda işleme tekniklerinin optimize edilmesi yoluyla daha besleyici ve sağlığa faydalı gıdaların üretilmesine katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Gıda işleme yöntemlerinin, biyoaktif bileşiklerin biyoyararlanımını ve biyoerişimini artırıcı ya da azaltıcı etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu süreçler, gıdanın yapısal matrisini değiştirerek, bileşiklerin salınımını ve emilim hızını etkileyebilir. Pişirme yöntemlerinin (örneğin kaynatma, haşlama, kavurma, buharda pişirme, mikrodalga) biyoaktif bileşikler üzerindeki etkisi, bu bileşiklerin stabilitesini, antioksidan kapasitesini ve fenolik içeriğini önemli ölçüde değiştirebilir. Kaynatma, haşlama ve kavurma gibi pişirme yöntemleri, bazı fitokimyasalların ve antioksidanların kaybına neden olabilse de, belirli koşullarda bileşiklerin daha fazla salınımını sağlayarak biyoerişimini artırabilir. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar, özellikle buharda pişirme gibi yöntemlerin antioksidan özellikleri koruma potansiyeline sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Mikrodalga ve buharda pişirme gibi yöntemlerin, sebzelerin fenolik içeriği ve antioksidan aktivitesi üzerindeki olumlu etkileri, diğer yöntemlerle karşılaştırıldığında genellikle daha belirgindir. Bununla birlikte, ızgara ve fırında pişirme teknikleri, sebzelerde en yüksek fenolik içerik düzeylerine ulaşılmasını sağlamaktadır. Buna karşın, suda kaynatma yönteminin, suya çözünebilen biyoaktif bileşiklerin önemli miktarda kaybına neden olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, gıda işleme tekniklerinin biyoaktif bileşikler ve antioksidan aktivite üzerindeki etkileri hakkında elde edilen veriler, daha sağlıklı gıdalar üretmek için bu tekniklerin optimize edilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Gelecekteki çalışmalar, farklı sebzeler ve işleme teknikleri arasında yapılacak karşılaştırmalı analizlerle bu bulguların daha kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınmasını sağlamalıdır. Aynı zamanda, gıda bileşenlerinin biyoerişimi ve biyoyararlanımı üzerinde işleme tekniklerinin etkilerini derinlemesine incelemek, besin değerinin korunmasına yönelik stratejilerin geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacaktır.

Published: December 2024

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of rosemary and onion extracts on leave performances and some hematological and serum biochemical parameters of White Leghorn layers at Haramaya University Poultry Farm. One hundred twenty (120) White Leghorn layers at thirty-two weeks of age were randomly allocated to four treatments, each replicated three times with ten layers and one cock per replication and managed on a deep litter system for 70 days. The treatments were T1 (control group without any addition of feed additives), T2 (water with 4 milliliters of onion extract), T3 (water with 4 milliliters of rosemary extract), and T4 (water with 4 milliliters of onion and rosemary extract mixture). Body weight was taken at the beginning and end of the experiment to determine body weight change. Feed intake was determined as the difference between the feed offered and refused divided by the total number of layers in the replication. Data were subjected to be analyzed by SAS software version 9.4 (SAS, 2019), and the significance in treatment mean was determined by the least significance difference (LSD) for all parameters considered. The daily feed intake of chickens in T2 (97.59±0.72g) was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than the feed intake of chickens in T1, T3, and T4. There was no significant difference in PCV percentage, but there is a significant (P<0.05) difference in lowering total serum cholesterol from T1 to T4 but higher in HDL cholesterol. Layers using the blended use of spices with drinking water (T4) had lowered total cholesterol levels in the blood compared to other treatments.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of different levels of Spirulina platensis supplementation on the mucosal morphology of the intestine of broiler chickens. Spirulina, a single-celled algae, has been recently categorized as a filamentous, gram-negative Cyanobacterium, which offers significant benefits in broiler nutrition by improving growth performance through its high protein content, enhancing immune function, boosting feed conversion efficiency, and supporting gut health. A total of 375 one-day-old male Arian broilers were included in a 6-week trial. The chicks were randomly assigned to five treatment groups, each with five replicates of 15 birds, received different concentrations of Spirulina in their drinking water: Group A (5 g/L), Group B (2.5 g/L), and Group C (1 g/L), while the control groups received either no additive or an antibiotic (Fosbac Biotic®). This study examined the effects of dietary Spirulina platensis supplementation on cecal, the height of intestinal villi, and the depth of crypts in Arian strain broiler chickens examined. The results indicated Spirulina increased villus height, reduced crypt depth, and improved the villus-to-crypt ratio in the duodenum jejunum and ileum, suggesting enhanced nutrient absorption. Moreover, Spirulina supplementation increased beneficial bacteria (lactobacilli) and reduced harmful bacteria (coliforms), improving overall gut health and reducing digestive problems. Further research is advised to explore the economic benefits of using Spirulina in the poultry industry.
REMAINING USEFUL LIFE PREDICTOR FOR EV BATTERIES USING MACHINE LEARNING

Published: December 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a key solution to combat rising carbon emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In India, the government has implemented policies such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme to promote EV adoption Predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of EV batteries using machine learning ensures better battery health management and enhances operational efficiency. Applications include EV fleet management, battery recycling, and cost-effective maintenance. To develop a machine learning model that accurately predicts the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of EV batteries to improve operational reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and support sustainable energy practices. Before the advent of machine learning, traditional methods for estimating EV battery life relied on rule-based approaches, where predefined thresholds such as voltage drops or charge cycles were used to predict battery health. Empirical models, often linear, were developed based on historical performance data but lacked the ability to adapt to dynamic usage patterns. Additionally, manual battery testing was a common practice to measure degradation, though it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often prone to inaccuracies in capturing the complex nature of battery aging. Traditional systems for predicting EV battery life are largely empirical and rely on static models that fail to capture dynamic battery behavior. These methods often lack precision, are labor-intensive, and provide limited adaptability to varying usage conditions, leading to inefficiencies in battery management. The increasing demand for EVs and their critical dependence on battery performance drives the need for accurate RUL prediction systems. Traditional methods are insufficient in addressing the complex, non-linear nature of battery degradation. The proposed machine learning-based system leverages real-time battery performance data, including metrics like voltage, current, temperature, and charge-discharge cycles, to train predictive models capable of estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of EV batteries. This approach significantly enhances accuracy by capturing complex patterns in battery degradation, enables real-time predictions for immediate insights, optimizes costs by minimizing unnecessary replacements and maximizing resource utilization, and promotes sustainability through efficient recycling and reduced battery waste.
The Use and Misuse of Positivism in Economics
Authors:   Lecturer, Gaurishankar Campus, Nijgadh, Bara, Nepal, Lama Sunny
Published: December 2024

This essay attempts to demonstrate controversies concerning positivism in the discipline of economics and reasons that have yet kept it alive. It suggests strategy that can simultaneously reduce the mechanical methodological aspect and increase the predictive power of positivist approaches. The paper employs a critical theoretical approach, wherein the inadequacy of positivism is discussed with relations to economic theories. The findings suggest that the nature of social science itself does not let any methodology hold its ground firmly. The combined application of “common rationality” and “social rationality” can simultaneously reduce the mechanical methodological aspect and increase the predictive power of positivist approaches. Drawing on the criticisms leveled upon positive economics, a novel model is envisioned for more reliable economic theory-making, which involves the fusion of “common rationality” and “social rationality”.

Comparison of Pubertal Development between Subjects with Sickle Cell Anaemia and Individuals with Normal Haemoglobin in South-western Nigeria
Authors: OA Oyewole , OA Oduwole , MB Fetuga , MM Ogundeyi , MB Adebola
Published: December 2024

Background
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a haemoglobinopathy which results from a point mutation in the β-globin gene of haemoglobin. It is a disease of global health concern, with significantly higher morbidities and mortalities in low-income countries. Although an increasing proportion of affected children now survive into adulthood in these countries, there remains a significant risk of long-term complications such as endocrine disorders. Previous studies have reported delayed pubertal development in SCD, there is, however, paucity of recent studies on pubertal development, and the factors that influence the attainment of puberty, in SCD patients in Nigeria.
Methods
The present study was a cross-sectional study involving 139 eligible subjects with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), aged 6 to 18 years, and 133 individuals with haemoglobin AA (HbAA). Pubertal staging of subjects and controls was done using the Tanner criteria, while blood samples were obtained from individuals who had attained puberty for testosterone, estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Hormonal assays were performed using Rayto RT 6100R ELISA microplate reader for FSH and LH, and RapidR Labs ELISA kits for oestradiol and testosterone.
Results
Female SCA subjects attained thelarche at a mean age of 12.3±1.71years compared to 9.8±1.86 years in controls; adrenarche at 13.2±1.81years against 10.9±1.67years in controls, and menarche at a mean age of 14.1 ± 1.7years compared to 12.3±1.3years in controls. Males with normal haemoglobin also attained puberty earlier than SCA. Mean LH and FSH were higher in SCA subjects (8.29±33.75mIu/ml and 6.81±10.61mIU/ml respectively) compared to mean values of 3.17±5.0mIU/ml and 3.85±3.88mIU/ml respectively in controls. Estradiol and Testosterone levels were however higher in the control group.
Conclusion and recommendation
The present study confirms delayed onset of puberty in patients with SCA compared with HbAA controls. Screening for endocrine complications should therefore be incorporated into the comprehensive care model for SCA for early detection of impairments and prompt institution of appropriate interventions.
Research into Equivalence in Multilingual Parallel Corpora

Published: December 2024

Shota Rustaveli’s epic “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” is an exceptional monument of aphoristic style. The complexity of Shota Rustaveli’s worldview, which is mirrored in his epic, is a result of the mixing of mediaeval and Renaissance thinking. It combines Christian (and, in general, religious) thoughts with antique philosophy (Plato, Dionysus the Areopagite, Aristotle) and mythical and transcendental visions with analytical thinking. Rustaveli’s worldview, as well as several religious-philosophical doctrines – Christianity, Areopagitica, Neoplatonism, and Aristotelianism – are all reflected in the aphorisms used in the epic, which plays a special role not only in the cultural memory of the Georgians but also in the history of world literature. The epic has been translated into 58 languages and is included in the registry of the world cultural heritage of UNESCO. The variety of languages into which the epic has been translated provides a unique opportunity for the creation of the multilingual parallel corpus ‘Rustaveli goes digital’, which is an outstanding resource for translation studies to examine the quality of translations, analyse translation methods, pinpoint translators’ strategies, and contrast them. But how can we judge the quality of translations, especially in the case of aphorisms? Determining the degree of equivalence between the source and target texts is not sufficient for a qualitative evaluation of the translations of the epic; e.g., the translation quality of the aphoristic style in the translations is one of the challenges that we believe needs to be addressed. In the present paper, we discuss our research model on how to evaluate the translation quality of aphorisms.

Investment encouragement is needed in the tourism sector involving participation from the community, businesses, as well as local and central governments. This collaboration is crucial to ensure a shared commitment to developing the tourism potential with sustainable growth and positive impact. The "Jakarta 101" advertising campaign has produced a video showcasing three unique local tourist destinations in Jakarta, each with its own distinct characteristics, hidden gems, and profound meanings. One of them is a coffee shop that employs individuals with disabilities, adding a unique dimension to its significance. Additionally, Jakarta boasts an educational museum with knowledgeable guides explaining its historical artifacts, along with other educational spots focused on environmental care and recycling, previously plagued by high crime rates. In this advertising campaign, a copywriter is responsible for the pre-production stages, including scriptwriting and formulating interview questions for the speakers. The copywriter plays a pivotal role in designing the advertising communication concept, maintaining brand consistency, and supporting the brand experience in various scenarios. The role of a copywriter increasingly demands digital and technological skills due to the evolving times. This research aims to enhance the skills of copywriters in creating the "Jakarta 101" advertising campaign and provide fresh insights into the role of copywriters in content creation. Copywriting in advertising holds a crucial role, serving as a bridge between potential consumers and the purchasing decision.

This study analyzes the evaluation of stunting reduction policies in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Indonesia, using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation theory. Stunting is a serious nutritional problem that impacts children's growth and development, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Although there has been a decrease in stunting prevalence in Riau Province, Kuantan Singingi Regency experienced an increase in stunting rates from 17.8% in 2022 to 23% in 2023, making it the highest in the province. The evaluation was conducted based on five criteria: effectiveness, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results showed that despite significant efforts in policy implementation, the target for reducing stunting prevalence has not been achieved, with communication between officers and the community still lacking. There is a shortage of skilled personnel and funds, and unequal access to health services. The policy provides a clear framework, but information about the program is still lacking in the community. The assumptions underlying the policy are quite strong, and positive impacts are starting to be seen, but challenges such as lack of training for officers remain. Overall, despite progress, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the goal of reducing stunting effectively.

Cyberterrorism is an important international relations issue as it poses formidable challenges to international security due to its unanimity and easier reach to broad masses. Fighting cyberterrorism necessitates understanding what kinds of actors resort to it, what motivates them, what are their intentions and targets, what kind of means they employ, and what kind of effects their actions cause. This study addresses the actors, targets, motives, intentions, means, and effects of cyberterrorism and how they have evolved to contribute to providing effective counter-measures and safeguards. To this end, after the introduction, the study first provides a conceptual framework to assess the evolution of cyberterrorism by focusing on its key attributes. Second, it explores the evolution of actors in cyberterrorism. Third, the study focuses on the evolution of motives and intentions in cyberterrorism. Fourth, it examines the evolution of targets, means, and effects in cyberterrorism. The conclusion highlights the transnational nature of cyberterrorism and calls for reciprocating to it in kind.
Palautuminen työstä vapaa-ajalla ja tauoilla: toimintojen ja psykologisten kokemusten merkitys
Authors: Kinnunen Ulla
Published: December 2024

Tässä katsauksessa tarkastellaan työstä palautumista prosessinäkökulmasta. Tällöin keskiössä ovat palautumista edistävät vapaa-ajan ja taukojen toiminnot ja kokemukset. Katsaus perustuu aiheesta tehtyihin katsauksiin ja meta-analyyseihin. Ne osoittavat, että liikunta ja sosiaalinen kanssakäyminen ovat voimakkaimmin yhteydessä palautumisen kokemuksiin, erityisesti rentoutumiseen. Sosiaalinen kanssakäyminen osoittautuu parhaimmaksi vapaa-ajan toiminnoksi, sillä se edistää kaikkia palautumisen kokemuksia (irrottautuminen, rentoutuminen, taidonhallinta, kontrolli) voimakkaammin kuin liikunta. Liikunta ja sosiaalinen kanssakäyminen ovat myös parhaiten yhteydessä koettuun hyvinvointiin, etenkin koettuun tarmokkuuteen. Palautumisen kokemukset ovat yhteydessä moniin yksilön yleistä hyvinvointia kuvaaviin seurauksiin (esim. palautunut olotila, elämäntyytyväisyys), kun taas taidonhallintakokemukset yhdistyvät selkeämmin työhön liittyviin seurauksiin, kuten luovuuteen ja työn imuun. Vapaa-ajan toiminnot ovat heikommin yhteydessä hyvinvointiseurauksiin ja työssä suoriutumiseen kuin palautumisen kokemukset. Pitkittäistutkimuksissa palautumisen kokemusten yhteydet seurausmuuttujiin jäävät kuitenkin heikoiksi ja vähäisiksi. Näyttää siltä, että samat toiminnot (fyysinen toiminta) ja kokemukset (irrottautuminen, rentoutuminen) kuin vapaa-ajalla edistävät hyvinvointia myös tauoilla. Myös lyhyet mikrotauot ovat hyväksi hyvinvoinnille. Tulevaisuudessa tarvitaan tutkimusta, joka paljastaa, kuinka päiväkohtaisen palautumisen hyödyt muuttuvat pitkäaikaisiksi hyödyiksi terveydelle ja hyvinvoinnille.
Affektiivisen mielen teorian kehittyminen ja tunnesanaston käyttäminen 4–8-vuotiailla lapsilla

Affektiivista mielen teoriaa eli kykyä tulkita omia ja toisten tunteita ja sen kehittymistä on tutkittu vähän. Mielen teorian tehtävät on helppo pisteyttää oikeaksi tai vääräksi, mutta vähemmälle huomiolle on jäänyt vastausten sisältö. Tämä tutkimus selvittää, miten affektiivisen mielen teorian ymmärtäminen kehittyy ikävuosien 4–8 aikana ja minkälaista tunnesanastoa vastauksissa käytetään.
Tutkimukseen osallistui 167 lasta, jotka vastasivat affektiivista mielen teoriaa edellyttävään kysymykseen. Vastaukset pisteytettiin (oikein/väärin) ja analysoitiin sisällönanalyysiä ja -erittelyä käyttäen. Tulosten mukaan taito tulkita toisten tunteita kehittyi ikävuosien 4–8 aikana. Suurin osa 4–6-vuotiaista lapsista vastasi väärin, mutta enemmistö 7- ja 8-vuotiaista lapsista vastasi oikein. Lapset käyttivät vastauksissaan pääosin yleisiä tunnesanoja (esim. hyvä, paha). Sanaston käyttö näyttäisi monipuolistuvan iän myötä, mutta erot ikäryhmien välillä ovat pieniä, eivätkä tilastollisesti merkitseviä.
Tässä tutkimuksessa käytetty tehtävä voi olla arvokas lisä affektiivisen mielen teorian tutkimiseen, sillä se antaa laadullisesti tarkasteltuna tietoa tunnesanaston kehityksestä. Tunteen nimeäminen on tunteiden ymmärtämisen kannalta oleellista, ja monipuolisen tunnesanaston käyttö voi jäsentää lapsen ymmärrystä omista ja toisten tunteista. Toimivan sosiaalisen vuorovaikutuksen kannalta tämä on tärkeää.
