Published: November 2021

A field experiment was conducted in two agroclimatic zones of the Punjab (viz., Ludhiana representing central plain zone and Bathinda representing south-western arid zone) to study the growth, yield and water use efficiency of wheat under abiotic stresses. The wheat variety HD-2967 was evaluated under five thermal environments (D1 - 20th October, D2 - 05th November, D3 - 20th November, D4 - 5th December and D5 - 20th December) to expose the crop to different thermal environments and two nitrogen levels (N1- Recommended dose of N and N2 - 25 per cent less than recommended N) in main plots and two irrigation levels (I1-Optimal (recommended) irrigation (Irrigation at CRI, Jointing, Flowering and Soft dough stage) and I2-Sub-optimal irrigation (one irrigation less than recommended) (Irrigation at CRI, Flag leaf emergence and Soft dough stage) in sub-plots during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19. At 45 DAS; number of tillers/m2, plant height, dry matter accumulation and leaf area index in 20th October sown crop was significantly higher than other dates of sowing at both the stations during both the years. But at the time of harvesting, tiller count and plant height was highest under 5th November sown crop, whereas dry matter accumulation and leaf area index was significantly highest under 20th October sown crop. Yield and yield attributes were significantly highest under 5th November and significantly lowest under 20th December sown crop. Wheat crop exhibited significantly highest WUE w.r.t. straw and grain yield in 5th November sowing (D2) which was at par with that under 20th October sowing and significantly lowest water use efficiency was observed under 20th December (D5) sown crop at both the locations during both crop seasons. Recommended dose of nitrogen and optimal irrigation also produced significantly higher WUE at both the locations during both the years. The study concluded that earlier sowing of wheat along with recommended nitrogen and optimal irrigation can significantly improve growth and yield attributes as well as water use efficiency in both the agroclimatic regions.

Abstract – Indonesian Army has the main task of protecting against enemy attacks, which include forest battles as well as urban battles. The obstacle faced today is that in the process of urban warfare operations, infiltration and hostage rescue in buildings are still less efficient and optimal. The robot is designed with a system that can identify friends and foes using a Night Vision camera and the Pattern Recognition method. Pattern recognition is a symbolic grouping automatically that is done by a computer to find out objects or patterns. The results of the Night vision camera test are able to detect human objects with a maximum distance of 6 meters. This night vision scope has a fairly large accuracy rate of 83%. And light intensity has an influence on the identification process because if the light intensity is more than 200 lux then the system is not able to identify the object.

Published: November 2021

Combat technology in the military world has undergone a very rapid development in both close combat and long-range combat. Long-range combat is identical to a rocket weapon where the rocket works because of the presence of an igniter that serves to burn the propellant so that when the propellant burns it will produce pressure that will push the rocket hurtling towards a predetermined target. Igniter is very important in the launch of rockets where the filling of the igniter is black powder that has been difficult to obtain because of the difficult manufacturing process and risk of explosion. This research aims to design a tool that can produce black powder with a large enough capacity and good quality and reduce the risk of explosions to support the manufacture of igniters for rocket launches, especially those owned by Indonesian Army. This research used pure experimental quantitative method with empirical calculations to obtain tools with the desired specifications. The results obtained after the calculation are the volume of octagonal prism tubes 2942.5 cm3, the total volume of steel balls with two size variations is 979.5 cm3, the maximum lendutan that occurs on the shaft of the player is 0.108 mm, so it is said to be safe.

Published: November 2021

Panzer Anoa 6x6 is a combat vehicle on tires where the first generation of it is made by PT Pindad (Persero). It can mobility, protection and carrying capacity. The ramp door on the Anoa 6x6 APC armored vehicle is driven by a hydraulic system to support the mobility of personnel when exiting or entering the vehicle. The components of the hydraulic system driving the Panzer Anoa 6x6 APC ram door include batteries, power packs, solenoid valves, hydraulic hoses, and hydraulic cylinders. These problems include the ramp door often not functioning, the ramp door moving too slowly and often experiencing congestion when the ramp door is working. These constraints often occur because the pump in the hydraulic system is driven by an electric motor that gets its power source from the battery. The fluid is pressed and flowed through a hydraulic pipe, then the flow of the pressurized fluid is regulated by a solenoid valve to the hydraulic cylinder to move the ramp door. This study uses a pure experimental quantitative method with empirical calculations to obtain a tool with the desired specifications. To move the ramp door weighing 200 kg with a maximum opening angle of 100 degrees in 8 seconds, the heaviest load received by the cylinder is 23557.44 N, the working pressure that occurs in the cylinder is 87.49 bar, where the fluid discharge will flow to the pump. of 2164.77 liters/minute, with a pump power of 394570 Watt and to continue the rotation of the engine with a rotation of 2814.13 rpm (idle) to the hydraulic pump using a pulley mechanism with a ratio of 1: 0.15.

Published: November 2021

The combat vehicles that Indonesia Army belong to most of the materials are steel, for example the armored vehicle anoa 6x6. Steel material is used as a fire protection on the vehicle, it will greatly affect the performance of the vehicle. It is caused the steel material has a high density, which is around 7750 kg/m3to 8050 kg/m3. So, with a large enough volume of the vehicle body, it will increase the burden of the vehicle. As well as the engine load will increase, and more power is needed to be able to move the vehicle. Seeing these problems, it is necessary to have a research or study on alternative materials to replace the body of a combat vehicle that can withstand fire from opposing weapons that cause personnel to be injured. In this study, experimental and simulation methods were used using the ansys application to analyze the strength of the composite material in the form of an aluminum layer that had been treated to increase the hardness value. Furthermore, it is coated with a composite material using a carbon fiber matrix of epoxy, HGM and polyurethane. The coating material is called Fiber Metal Laminate (FML), so the material used has a lighter density, the load received by the vehicle engine is lighter, and the performance of the vehicle will be more effective and efficient.

Illyrski antroponimi na latinskim natpisima Dalmacije / Illyrian anthroponyms in the Latin inscriptions in Dalmatia
Authors: Beljan Dijana
Published: November 2021

Since it is part of the Indo-European language family, the Illyrian language shows some Indo-European regularities that we can also observe in the Greek and South Slavic world. According to Fick-Bechtel, whose work follows that of Rendić-Miočević in his work Ilirska onomastika na latinskim natpisima Dalmacije, names can  be divided into complex names, derivations and abbreviated/hypocoristic names.  Due to the lack of historical data, it is far more difficult to categorize Illyrian names  compared to their Greek and Slavic counterparts. Inscriptions in Dalmatia carry  names such as Ditus, Tritus, Boria, Nebris, Enena, Illyrica, Dalmatius, Breucus,  Ana/Anna, which are possibly derived from numbers, names of deities, ethnicities or even nicknames. Some also show complex names from the Indo-European  family, although only a few remain in historical records: Scenobardus, Cursulavia,  Scenocalus etc., names whose shortened versions we also find (Sceno, Lavus, Lavia)  and substantiate with what we find in the Greek and Slavic world. Regarding the formula for creating names, we can look at its development through the Roman formula, since the Latin language established itself within the Roman province of Illyria. A one-part name formula was confirmed both in Roman writing and history hence it isn’t far-fetched to say that the same happened in the territory of Illyria. Once a single personal name became too simple  for defining an individual, they began to combine it with the name of the father  through filiation, examples of which we can find in Latin inscriptions from Dalmatia. Hence personal names such as Iettus, Nomeditus Plato, Panes, Varro were  often expanded with the father designation filius, -a:  Panto Madoci f., Tritano Lavi f. etc. A two-part name formula is clearly visible in examples such as Bato Baracio, Scenobarbus Tizio whose second part very quickly developed into a surname as in other Indo-European societies through the suffix -io-, -ia- (and even  –iko- which does not show patronymic characteristics). That formula is almost  always expanded through patronymics, that is, without filius, -a and will become  the most common name form among the Illyrians.

Urbanizacija bosanskohercegovačkih prostora u vrijeme rimske uprave / The urbanisation of Bosnian and Herzegovinian areas under the Roman rule
Authors: Imamović Mersiha , Omerčević Bego
Published: November 2021

After the conquest of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian territory, the Romans  launched numerous campaigns so this region and its population could be incorporated into the Roman life and Roman civilization of that period as quickly as possible. They believed that this is the only and the best way to make themselves the masters of this region. As part of their extensive activities, those that focused on systematic and full implementation of urbanization in the present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina were especially important. This long process encompassed the infrastructure construction, modelled on the Italic cities, villages, economic and other facilities. The first steps of the Roman authorities were to construct modern and high-quality roads, i.e. a powerful road network that would facilitate a faster and stronger connection between settlements and economic resources around present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Publius Cornelius Dolabella, who served as an imperial governor of the province of Upper Illyria from 14 th  to 20  AD, had a special role in the implementation of this plan. The construction of the first roads began upon his initiative and under his strict supervision. He intended to establish a better connection between the regions of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina with the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. These first roads created good foundation for a complete urbanization of this area. th Along with the road construction, the Romans launched the activities that included new settlements, firstly along the Roman roads, then at the crossroads, and then in the regions had were rich in resources. Each settlement, in its appearance, dimensions and layout of facilities and its infrastructure, had to correspond to the Roman building standards. The first settlements were built along the roads. The most famous sites of urban settlements include: Grkovci and Pelva (Livno plateau), Halapići and Salvium (Glamoč plateau), Pecka (the Sana river valley), Baloie (Šipovo), Bjelajac (Mrkonjić Grad), Castra, Laktaši, Gornji Šeher (Banja Luka), Servitium (Bosanska Gradiška), Delminium (Duvno plateau), Varvara (Rama river valley), Ad Matricem (Gornji Vakuf), Bistue Nova (Bugojno), Višnjica (Kiseljak), Ilidža (Sarajevo plateau), Domavia and Skelani (central Podrinje), Blagaj, Maslovare and Bosanski Novi (the Sana and Japra rivers valley), Golubić (Bihać), Bigeste (Čapljina), Leusinium (Bileća), Diluntum (Stolac), Ad Drinum (Drinjača) as well as many others, but less known.  Urbanization had many positive effects in all aspects of work and life of local inhabitants from that period in the region of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. A road network was established, as well as numerous economic activities, lifestyle standard and social relations were raised to a significantly higher level, many settlements (cities and villages) and many cultural monuments were built.

Objective To investigate the factors affecting the postoperative swallowing dysfunction in patients who underwent oral cancer surgery.Methods Retrospective review of clinical records of 70 patients (50 males and 20 females) who underwent oral cancer surgeries from July 2007 to April 2015 were enrolled. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) at discharge as the objective variable and age, tumor size, resection of the tongue base, suprahyoid muscle resection, segmental mandibulectomy, neck dissection and radiation therapy as the explanatory variables in 70 patients. In addition, multiple regression analysis was performed between objective variables, which include maximum hyoid bone movement, laryngeal elevation delay time, pharyngeal constriction ratio (PCR), residue in the vallecular and pear-shaped depression (pyriform sinuses), and Penetration-Aspiration Scale score and one of the main factors representing the characteristics of each case as the explanatory variables, and age was treated as an adjustment factor in 23 patients.Results The FILS shows significant negative correlation by age and resection of the tongue base. In videofluoroscopic swallowing study, the maximum movement, PCR and residue in the vallecular are significantly correlated with factors demonstrating the characteristic for each case.Conclusion It was suggested that in elderly patients, the presence of more than half of the tongue base resection, suprahyoid muscle resection and neck dissection cause severe dysphagia after surgery.

Objective To investigate long-term and serial functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients without diabetes with post-stroke hyperglycemia.Methods The Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation (KOSCO) is a large, multi-center, prospective cohort study of stroke patients admitted to participating hospitals in nine areas of Korea. From KOSCO, ischemic stroke patients without diabetes were recruited and divided into two groups: patients without diabetes without (n=779) and with post-stroke hyperglycemia (n=223). Post-stroke hyperglycemia was defined as a glucose level >8 mmol/L. Functional assessments were performed 7 days and 3, 6, and 12 months after stroke onset.Results There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the groups, except in the age of onset and smoking. Analysis of the linear correlation between the initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and glucose level showed no significant difference. Among our functional assessments, NIHSS, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (affected side), Functional Ambulatory Category, modified Rankin Scale, and Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) showed statistically significant improvements in each group. All functional improvements except K-MMSE were significantly higher in patients without post-stroke hyperglycemia at 7 days and 3, 6, and 12 months.Conclusion The glucose level of ischemic stroke patients without diabetes had no significant correlation with the initial NIHSS score. The long-term effects of stress hyperglycemia showed worse functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients without diabetes with post-stroke hyperglycemia.

Over de beperking van de bestuursbevoegdheden in verhouding tot de bestuursautonomie. Reactie op de bijdrage van A.J.M. Klein Wassink aan de bundel Bestuursbesluiten

De beperking van bestuursbevoegdheden is een grijs gebied. Bezien vanuit de aanwijzingsbevoegdheid bij besloten vennootschappen, wordt beargumenteerd dat het vennootschappelijk belang richtinggevend is voor de mate van beperking van de bestuursbevoegdheid. Bovendien is het uitgangspunt van het wettelijke systeem dat het bestuur het beleid bepaalt, terwijl andere organen dat (slechts) mogen beïnvloeden.

Published: November 2021

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different degrees of maternal dietary energy restriction on lipid deposition in embryonic tissues during the medium laying period (37 to 39 weeks) in Arbor Acres (AA) broiler breeders.Methods: A single factor design was adopted, and 400 AA broiler breeders (20 weeks of age) with a similar weight were randomly allocated into four groups. The birds in the control group were fed a corn-soybean meal based diet, and those in trial groups were fed diets with 80%, 70%, and 50% energy levels of the basal diet. Incubated eggs from the medium laying period were collected. Samples of developing embryos at various stages were prepared for composition analysis.Results: The embryo weight in the 80% energy group was higher than those of the other groups on embryonic day (E) 13, but at 21 E, they were significantly decreased with decreasing energy intake of the broiler breeders (p<0.05). Additionally, the levels of crude fat in tissues in the restriction groups were significantly decreased (p<0.05). The long axis and area of adipocytes in breast muscle, thigh muscle and the liver were significantly decreased (p<0.05) at 21 E in the 80%, 70%, and 50% energy groups.Conclusion: The effects of the 80% maternal dietary energy restriction energy affects egg production performance, egg quality, and nutrient deposition in egg weights, which then directly impacts on the developmental process of embryos, especially on fat utilization and deposition.

Specifically, it examined how behavioral inhibition moderates the mediating effect of executive function on the relationship between maternal autonomy support and social withdrawal in young children.Methods: Participants were 273 3-to 4-year-old children and their mothers. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, Cronbach’s α, and Pearson correlation analysis with SPSS 20.0. Meanwhile, the PROCESS Macro 3.5 software was used for analyzing the moderating effect, mediating effect, and moderated mediation effect.Results: Our findings indicated that, first, maternal autonomy support and executive function, social withdrawal, and behavioral inhibition in young children were significantly correlated. Second, executive function had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between maternal autonomy support and social withdrawal in young children. Third, the behavioral inhibition had a moderating effect on the relationship between maternal autonomy support and executive function. Last, the findings verified that the mediating effect of executive function on the relationship between maternal autonomy support and social withdrawal was moderated by behavioral inhibition.Conclusion: These results indicate that improving executive function and reducing social withdrawal through maternal autonomy support can promote positive development in young children, even when behavioral inhibition is high. Thus, they can be used to highlight the importance of parenting behaviors in shaping young children’s temperament. Furthermore, the results could provide a framework for parental education programs and early intervention programs for reducing social withdrawal in children.

Chez les personnes âgées atteintes de cancer, les chutes sont un problème souvent sous-estimé et peu rapporté. La présente étude visait à explorer la volonté des infirmières cliniques en oncologie à évaluer et à dépister systématiquement les chutes dans leur pratique; l’étude examinait également les obstacles perçus à l’évaluation et au dépistage systématique. Les infirmières ont donc été invitées à remplir un sondage en ligne. Les données ont été analysées à l’aide de statistiques descriptives. La majorité des infirmières ayant répondu ont dit qu’elles accepteraient de poser systématiquement des questions sur les chutes (85,7 %) et de dépister les risques de chutes (73,5 %) chez les personnes âgées. Voici les principales raisons des réticences : conviction que les patients signalent les chutes d’eux-mêmes, manque de temps, pénurie de personnel de soutien. Selon les résultats de l’étude, beaucoup d’infirmières en oncologie trouvent important d’évaluer et de dépister systématiquement les chutes, et sont d’accord pour l’intégrer à leur pratique bien que, d’habitude, les chutes ne fassent pas automatiquement l’objet de questions ou d’une évaluation. Étant donné les conséquences des chutes sur ces patients vulnérables, la recherche à venir devra explorer les stratégies permettant de surmonter les obstacles auxquels se butent les infirmières.
Standardized versus personalized survivorship care plans for breast cancer survivors: A program evaluation

The Wellness Beyond Cancer Program provides survivorship care plans (SCPs) to cancer survivors, as they transition from cancer centres back to their primary care provider (PCP) upon treatment completion. A program evaluation examined whether standardized SCPs resulted in comparable outcomes on perceived knowledge and patient activation as personalized SCPs. Breast cancer survivors who received either standardized or personalized SCPs completed pre- and post-surveys during their discharge appointment, which included an in-house measure on perceived knowledge, The Perceived Efficacy in Patient-Physician Interactions, and The Patient Activation Measure. Eighty-seven breast cancer survivors completed the surveys (personalized SCP n = 43; standardized SCP n = 44). Standardized SCPs resulted in comparable knowledge and activation outcomes as personalized SCPs. Cost-efficient standardized SCPs may help alleviate human resource constraints and may be considered for further evaluation and implementation in cancer centres.
Patient needs and resource intensity weighting in the ambulatory care unit
Authors: Knox Andrea , Larmet John
Published: November 2021

Across British Columbia Cancer (BC Cancer), oncology nurses work as part of an interdisciplinary team in the outpatient ambulatory care unit (ACU) and support patients across the trajectory of their cancer journey. Previous initiatives, which focused on identifying patient needs and nursing role optimization work, have enhanced role clarity, enabling nurses to articulate their scope of practice and specialty competencies required to best meet the needs of patients and families. However, while the patient needs and fundamental practice elements have been identified to optimize the ACU nursing role, a gap still exists in quantifying the staffing resources required to operationalize the current model of care. To address this gap, a quality improvement project was initiated to develop an internally validated ACU Nursing Resource Intensity Weighting (RIW) tool for projecting baseline staffing requirements. The tool can be utilized to inform strategic and operational planning discussions focused on improving the outpatient model of care in oncology.

Background: Onychomycosis is the most common nail disease, representing 50% of cases affecting the nail apparatus. The diagnosis is made by clinical examination along with the KOH exam of the nail and culture of the sample. However, not all dermatologists have access to a mycology lab.

Objective: To determine the correlation between KOH examination and dermoscopic patterns in patients with clinical diagnosis of onychomycosis.

Patients/Methods: A descriptive, open, observational, prospective, cross-sectional study of 178 patients with clinical suspicion of onychomycosis was conducted. All patients underwent clinical examination, dermoscopy with a DermLite PHOTO dermatoscope (3Gen, San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA), KOH assessment and culture analysis. The most frequent dermoscopic patterns were identified and their correlation with the clinical subtype of onychomycosis was analyzed.

Results: The study included 178 patients with clinical suspicion of onychomycosis. Of these, 155 (87.1%) had positive direct KOH examination for onychomycosis. Eighty-seven patients (56.13%) presented with clinical onychomycosis pattern of total dystrophic onychomycosis (TDO), 67 (43.23%) with distal lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO), 1 (0.65%) with trachyonychia). Dermoscopic patterns of onychomycosis showed the following frequencies: the spiked pattern was present in 22 patients (14.19%), longitudinal striae pattern in 51 patients (32.9%) and linear edge pattern in 21 patients (13.55%). We identified a pattern described as “distal irregular termination” in 41 patients with TDO and 26 with DLSO.

Conclusions: This is the fist study conducted in a Mexican population that uses dermoscopy as a diagnostic tool along with the KOH examination for the diagnosis of onychomycosis. Dermoscopy may be used as an important diagnostic tool when evaluating nail disease. However, it should not be used as the only diagnostic criteria for onychomycosis.

Taste and nutritional value make sweet corn a valued plant and an important component of the human diet worldwide. Kernel nutritive composition of sweet corn has been reported in various papers, but a description of carotenoid and tocopherols profile, especially after cooking is scarce. Therefore, the present study was carried out to compare the carotenoid and tocopherol content in sweet corn before and after cooking. Contents of b-carotene, lutein+zeaxanthin and tocopherols (d-T, b+g-T, a-T) in the kernels of twelve sweet corn hybrids were determined by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and were expressed as the mean value of three independent measurements. Both genotype and cooking affected the content of the carotenoids and tocopherols in the kernel. The highest content of total carotenoids before and after cooking was found in hybrid ZP486/1su (27.77/45.28 µg/g) whereas the lowest content was in hybrid ZP 355su (10.27 µg/g) before cooking i.e. in hybrid ZP 347su (24.55 µg/g) after cooking. The cooking resulted in a significant increase in the content of total carotenoids and tocopherols, lutein+zeaxanthin, and b-carotene in all hybrids, except the ZP504su in which the b-carotene content decreased. An increase in a-tocopherol after cooking was observed in hybrids ZP485/1su and ZP484/1su, while a decrease was in hybrids ZP481/1su, ZP486/1su and ZP477/2su. The results showed that increasing micronutrient content is genotype-dependent. This study confirmed that cooking increases the nutritional value of sweet corn and gives it additional value in terms of functional food.

Proselytization vs Education
Authors: Baladi Sarya
Published: November 2021

This paper argues for the importance of religious literacy in the American public education system in relation to Islam, a religion that is not only growing in relevance that is also subject to various misconceptions in American society. The author outlines what an appropriate lesson plan about Islam would look like in the context of a secular classroom while pointing out limitations and shortfalls in current lesson plans. Additionally, the multiple controversies raised by teaching about Islam in public schools, particularly on behalf of conservative media outlets, are highlighted to emphasize the difference between proselytization - which is unconstitutional - and religious literacy - which is key to providing a well-rounded education to American students.
L’évangélisation de l’Ungava par le révérend S.M. Stewart
Authors: Laugrand Frédéric B.
Published: October 2021

Grâce à plusieurs recherches ethnohistoriques, l’évangélisation de la Baie d’Hudson a été bien documentée, mais celle de l’Ungava et des régions limitrophes qui s’étendent jusqu’au Labrador reste méconnue. À partir des journaux personnels, des rapports et de la correspondance du révérend Stewart et de quelques lettres du révérend E. Hester qui vient le rejoindre en 1911, – la plupart de ces documents provenant des tribunes duGreat Britain Messenger–, cet article décrit la christianisation de cette région. Le rôle des chamanes et celui des catéchistes est examiné pendant les vingt-cinq premières années de la mission du révérend Stewart (1899-1918).
