Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, Hong Da-Geom
Published: March 2023

This study attempted to help beauty industry workers reduce their physical burden which is directly related with job stress. For this, a survey was performed against cosmetologists who have provided services for at least one (1) year, and the results found the followings: When asked what has made them uncomfortable at work, ‘use of wired electronic devices’ was most responded with 39%. When asked what problems they face in using such devices, ‘tripped over the power cord’ was the highest with 50%. To improve working environments, this study developed a power cord-holding device based on beauty industry workers’ voices. The power cord-holding arm band is designed to prevent the power cord from sagging by fixing it to a user’s arm. This power cord holder is comprised of an arm band and a cable-holding unit. According to a survey on users’ satisfaction with the assistant device, high satisfaction (‘very satisfied (43%)’, ‘satisfied (43%)’) was responded. The above results confirmed that a power cord-holding device is effective in reducing inconvenience and fatigue at work for beauty industry workers. It is anticipated that the effectiveness of such power cord-holding device would be tracked after a long use.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, He Xing , Park Eun-Jun
Published: March 2023

This study attempted to suggest a new direction for hair art and provide basic academic data by creating hairstyles based on flower-and-bird paintings. For this, a pilot study was performed on such traditional Chinese paintings, and books and Internet data were collected and analyzed. Then, among four seasons, spring and fall were chosen, and two hairstyles were created for each season, using diverse hairstyling techniques. For spring, ‘Peach Blossom & Turtledove Painting’ and ‘A Painting of Five-colored Parakeet on Blossoming Apricot Tree’ were created while ‘Bird-and-Fruit Painting’ and ‘A Painting of Valley Breeze and Comfort’ were designed for fall. It is anticipated hairstyles created with traditional Chinese flower-and-bird paintings as motives are valuable enough to be displayed as an art genre and that they would make a contribution to the growth and development of hair art.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, Na Do-Yeon , Hwang Hea-Ju
Published: March 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of professionalism awareness of beauty educators on core competency and job enthusiasm. The survey was conducted on 316 beauty educators who obtained national beauty qualifications in the metropolitan area. The results are as follows. First, professionalism awareness of beauty educators had a positive effect on personal characteristic factors, which are core competencies. In addition, professionalism awareness had a positive effect on the situation coping factor, which is a core competency. Professionalism awareness had a positive effect on interpersonal factors and on the professionalism factor, which is a core competency. However, intellectual ability, a sub-factor of professionalism awareness, did not affect coping with situations and interpersonal relationships. Besides, professional ethics did not affect interpersonal relationships and professionalism. Second, professionalism awareness had a positive effect on the vitality of job enthusiasm. Also, professionalism awareness had a positive effect on dedication. Professionalism awareness had a positive effect on immersion. This study confirmed that beauty educators' high competency and enthusiasm are significant variables in beauty education, contributing to the establishment of marketing strategies for the beauty education industry.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, Hwang Sun-Ae , Hwang Hea-Ju
Published: March 2023

This study aims to improve management performance through measures to revitalize the domestic male Brazilian waxing industry by investigating how customer preferences and procedure satisfaction affect revisit intention for male Brazilian sugaring waxing. This study surveyed 300 men in their 30s and 40s who experienced Brazilian waxing more than once at a waxing shop located in Chungbuk and the metropolitan area. Preference was classified using five sub-factors: ease of use, facility, resulting quality, employee response, and price policy, and procedure satisfaction was classified using four sub-factors: performance factor, economic factor, physical factor, and social psychological factor. Among the nine factors, economic factors and physical factors did not correlate with revisit intention, so the influence of the remaining seven factors was measured, and the results of the study are as follows. First, the research hypothesis was partially adopted that the preference for male Brazilian sugaring waxing would not affect the revisit intention. Among the sub-factors of preference, it was found that price policy and resulting quality had a positive effect on revisit intention, and convenience of use, facilities, and employee response did not significantly affect revisit intention. Second, a research hypothesis was also partially adopted that the satisfaction of the procedure for male Brazilian sugaring waxing would not affect the revisit intention. Among the sub-factors of procedure satisfaction, only performance factor was found to have a positive effect on revisit intention. This study found that the resulting quality, price policy, and performance factors closely influenced the revisit intention of male Brazilian sugaring waxing shops. Therefore, this study suggests that the preference for male Brazilian sugaring waxing and the satisfaction with the procedure should be studied in more detail to increase the revisit intention.

Authors: Rupesh S. , Palatel Arun , Muraleedharan C.
Published: March 2023

The work deals with the modelling and simulation of carbon dioxide capture in air–steam gasification of saw dust using ASPEN Plus process simulator. The proposed quasi-steady state model incorporates pyrolysis, tar cracking and char conversion using existing experimental data. Prediction accuracy of the developed model is validated by comparing with available experimental results. Effects of CaO addition in air–steam gasification are analysed through key operating parameters such as gasification temperature, equivalence ratio, steam to biomass ratio and gasification efficiency. Maximum H2 mole fraction of 31.17% is obtained at a temperature of 900 K, equivalence ratio of 0.25, and steam to biomass ratio and sorbent to biomass ratio of unity. The H2 and CO2 mole fractions are found to be increased and decreased by 28.10% and 42.6%, respectively, when compared with the corresponding non- sorbent case.

Authors: Salar Raj , Bhatti Manpreet S. , Purewal Sukhvinder Singh
Published: March 2023

The present study envisaged two stage optimization of conditions using RSM for extraction of total phenolic compounds from pearl millet koji prepared with Aspergillus awamori. Antioxidant activity was determined by employing DPPH and radical cation of ABTS. In phase-1, fermentation time (5–8 days), extraction temperature (40–60 °C), extraction time (45–60 min.) and solvent (ethanol, 50%; 0.5 ml HCL + 99.5 ml methanol) were tested for maximizing extraction process. The optimum conditions of phenolic recovery were achieved at 8 days fermentation time, 40 °C extraction temperature, 45 min. extraction time with 50% ethanol as solvent, with values of 169.19 mg GAE/g for TPC, 262.7 VCEAC μmol/g for DPPH and 281.86 VCEAC μmol/g for ABTS. TPC were found to be positively correlated (p < 0.05) with DPPH and ABTS under these conditions. In phase-2, a central composite design was applied for design of experiments and model building using extraction time and extraction temperature as process variables for further maximizing the extraction of TPC. The optimized conditions using RSM for maximizing the extraction of total phenolic compounds were: ethanol concentration, 50%; extraction temperature, 44.5 °C and extraction time, 23.8 mins. Under these conditions, 176.82 mg GAE/g of total phenolic compounds were extracted which was very close to the predicted value of 173.2 mg GAE/g. The model was validated at these optimal points.

Authors: Freitas Luis , Martins Paula , Thorat Bhaskar , Lanchote Aurea
Published: March 2023

The sweet flavor of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) leaf extract is well known and has raised the interest of huge food companies due to its natural bid. The extraction of their main glycosides stevioside and rebaudiosideA is an important step on the preparation of final Stevia granules. The aim of the work reported here was to study and optimize the dynamic maceration of Stevia leaves using water and ethanol as green solvents. Forinstance, a fractional factorial design was chosen to evaluate the individual effects of the drug powder size, weight ratio of drug to solvent, temperature, agitation, and time on the yield of these glycosides. The glycosides were quantified by high pressure liquid chromatography. An exhaustive extraction by successive maceration steps showed that ethanol 70% was superior to water and ethanol 90% for stevioside and rebaudioside extraction. The liquid extract composition in dry basis and the yield of stevioside and rebaudioside A were significantly affected by the drug to solvent weight ratio, showing that larger volumes of solvent should be used. Furthermore, increasing solvent volume favors the extraction of the stevioside by a twofold factor as compared to rebaudioside A. Among the other factors, only drug powder size affected the yieldof rebaudiosideA significantly. The optimal solution for S. rebaudiana leaves dynamic extraction estimated by desirability functions methodology led to a condition which allows obtaining extraction yields of 2.31 and 1.24% for stevioside and rebaudioside A and their concentrations in dried extract corresponding to 8.38 and 4.51%, respectively. These high yields were obtained with drug to solvent ratio (1:10, w/w) much higher thanprevious works, thus resulting in a more sustainable and green process.

Published: March 2023

The present work reported the adsorption of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions on activated carbon prepared from mango kernel, a seasonal wastefrom mango fruits. Kernels from dried mango fruit shells were taken out and pulverized in a micro-pulverizing mill. The powder thus obtained wasactivated with 40% H3PO4 and carbonized at 600 °C for 1 hour in an inert atmosphere. Physico-chemical characteristics such as elementalcomposition, surface area, functional groups and surface morphology of the activated carbon were analyzed using elemental analyzer, BET surfacearea analyzer, FTIR spectroscopy and SEM analysis respectively. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the effects of Cr (VI)concentration, carbon dose, pH, rate of agitation, time and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) was found to be 7.8 mg g−1at pH 2 and temperature 35 °C. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm best represented the equilibrium data and a pseudo-second order relationrepresented the adsorption kinetics.

Published: March 2023

This investigation was to test different blends of tertiary amine; triethanolamine (TEA) into primary amine; Monoethanolamine (MEA) usedto capture CO2 in packed bed scrubber with recycle stream. Four different operating parameters: Amine Combination (A), Dilution Water (B),Liquid Flow rate (C), and Gas Flow rate (D) were varied to study the behavior of the system. Moreover, Taguchi method was employed to establishthe order of importance of different parameters in the process. A 4 factor and 3 level was chosen for the study and it was explored using L9 (34)orthogonal array design. According to 3-level design 0%, 20% and 30% were chosen for A, 10%, 20% and 30% for B, 1 Lmin−1, 1.5 Lmin−1 and2 Lmin−1 for C, 8 Lmin−1, 16 Lmin−1 and 20 Lmin−1 for D. To understand the effectiveness order of different operating parameters, three factorsnamely Absorption efficiency (E), Absorption Rate (RA), and Scrubbing Factor (E) were calculated upon which the order was compared. Thehighest efficiency of 92.2% was achieved with 20% TEA. However, with 30% of TEA and 20% solvent mix maximum scrubbing factor (E) of0.63 mol-CO2/mol-Solvent was achieved. As per Taguchi analysis the significance sequence for absorption efficiency (ϕ) was B > C > D > A; forabsorption rate C > B > D > A and for scrubbing factor it was C > B > D > A. The blending of tertiary amine seemed advantageous for carbondioxide capture process.
Quality-by-Design (QbD) process evaluation for phytopharmaceuticals on the example of 10-deacetylbaccatin III from yew
Authors: Strube Jochen , Uhlenbrock Lukas , Sixt Maximilian
Published: March 2023

The focus of pharmaceutical product development lies on assuring excellent product quality at the end of a cost-efficient process. The Quality-by-Design (QbD) concept shifts the focus from quality assurance through testing to quality control by process understanding, resulting in very robust processes with high quality product. QbD was originally intended by authorities for biologics, where product quality proven completely by analytics is not desired. Product quality has to be controlled by means of appropriate processes and operations as well. These demands were developed in order to improve patients’ safety by optimal drug quality at more efficient manufacturing processes reducing costs for healthcare systems. Furthermore, production of bio- logics includes feedstock variability and complex multi-step manufacturing processes in batch operation with variable lots –condition, which apply to botanicals as well. The use of rigorous (physico-chemical) process modeling in combination with QbD results in a high degree of process understanding. This offers, contrary to popular prejudices, great benefit for manufac- turers with little extra effort during development. The methodical QbD-based approach is pursued to develop a process for extraction and purification of 10-deacetylbaccatin III from yew needles. A short history and key elements of the QbD-based application are introduced. The line of argument for basic process conception is described and initial risk assessment is shown. Typical raw material variation and vaporization are identified as causes of process variability, therefore, the implications to subsequent process steps are pointed out. Finally, influences of load and flow rate on the chromatographic separation of 10-deacetylbaccatin III are shown to exemplify sensitivity of purifica- tion design.

Authors: Sable Ajinkya
Published: March 2023

To increase the usage of solar water heaters in India, a low-cost solar collector made of concrete is exper- imentally investigated in Pune. The concrete slab consisting metal fibers is placed in a wooden box, with immersed serpentine copper tube and provided with glazing on top. With an objective of improving the efficiency of the collector, a heat transfer augmentation technique (dimple) is fabricated on water carry- ing serpentine tube. Testing is carried out in rainy, winter and summer seasons for different water flow rates to understand the working of collector throughout the year. Testing results show that average water temperature collected per day is 59 °C–69 °C. Further, to find the exact effect of dimples on outlet water temperature, two completely identical concrete plate collectors–one with a dimpled tube and other with a smooth tube, are designed, fabricated and tested simultaneously. The effect of dimples is observed up to 2.5 °C. Also, a detailed economic analysis and environmental benefits of concrete collector solar water heater for India are investigated in this paper.

Published: March 2023

Drilling wells is one of the primary methods used for mineral exploration. Scientific studies have aimed at improving the technical and economic aspects of drilling because of the current competitive economic conditions. Note that the primary topic of these studies has been developing new effective rock-cutting tools. To design a new rock-cutting tool, a thorough, reliable, and accurate study of the processes that occur during drilling is necessary. During drilling, mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, and chemical phenomena, which are interdependent and affect the performance of a drilling tool, simultaneously occur; therefore, a systematic, integrated approach is required for studying drilling processes. Field-based and laboratory experiments are quite tedious to perform and require high material costs, and it is often not possible to separately evaluate small elements of the drilling model. Therefore, computer simulation is an important research tool that enables accurate and reliable visualization of even small parts of the model. The aim. The aim of this study is to examine the potential for computer simulation of the processes that occur during drilling. Objective. In this study, we evaluated the simulation features of various software products, such as KOMPAS-3D, ANSYS, Delphi, and LabVIEW, for their utility in studying the processes that occur during drilling. The possibility of computer simulation for studying drilling processes, including its advantages and disadvantages, are demonstrated. The results are obtained from a model that simulates a rock cutting tool. The main uses of the rock cutting tool are outlined, and the drilling simulation development is planned. Choice of research method. The study of the capabilities of existing modern software products, for use in drilling process research, is carried out by an analytical review method.
La noción de autenticidad en el mundo de las «artes primeras»
Authors: Cisneros Armas Lorena
Published: March 2023

En 2006 se inauguró oficialmente en París el imponente edificio del Museo del Quai Branly, heredero de las colecciones etnográficas del icónico Museo del Hombre. El periodo de preparación y concepción del nuevo establecimiento público estuvo marcado por diversas controversias así como por la introducción en el ámbito museístico de la expresión «artes primeras», que no se hizo sin levantar innumerables resistencias entre antropólogos y etnólogos. Esta singular denominación, probablemente en una búsqueda de lo políticamente correcto, pretendía reemplazar los apelativos «arte primitivo», «arte tribal» o «arte negro» a la hora de calificar elementos etnográficos y arqueológicos cuyo valor estético y formal permite que sean considerados obras de arte en Europa.

Inter-espacio de encuentro y desencuentro. Inter-espacio de diálogo. Inter-espacio que media. Los debates en torno al concepto de cultura tienen larga data en antropología. Atrás dejamos asumirla como una entidad total, cerrada en sí misma y atemporal. Más bien nos interesa dejar de concebir cultura como nombre y pasar, más bien, a ver lo cultural como un terreno relacional de diferencias, conexiones, des/encuentros y comparaciones (Appadurai, 1998; García Canclini, 2004)

Uno de los temas que con más frecuencia convoca las discusiones más intensas dentro del campo del arte está relacionado con el objetivo final del proceso artístico, que a la vez valida la praxis y al mismo artista como agente discursivo dentro de un contexto sociocultural. La pertinencia de la obra, del proceso, de la acción, la intervención, el impacto, los resultados, el autor, etcétera, son temas que complican mucho más este debate. En este sentido, he intentado aportar a esta discusión. Hace un tiempo atrás, en Ecuador se realizó un seminario internacional, que llevaba por nombre «La función del arte, la función del artista»

Bibliotecas y revolución en Cuba
Authors: Salvatore Ricardo Donato
Published: March 2023

Este ensayo plantea que la promesa de la Revolución de dispersar libros y bibliotecas en el campo no se cumplió. El sistema bibliotecario cubano fue centralizado y fuertemente estatista. La estatización de colecciones privadas aumentó el capital bibliográfico de la BNC, la que promovió la lectura y, a la vez, cultivó el estudio de la cultura cubana y, en particular, de la obra de José Martí. Una producción masiva de textos escolares y de manuales técnicos permitió acompañar desde el Estado la demanda de libros del programa educativo de la Revolución. Centrándome en el análisis de la figura de la bibliotecaria de la Revolución, María Teresa Freyre de Andrade, trato de interrogar en qué medida la BNC pudo construir un camino intermedio entre las necesidades de modernización técnica y de servicios y los imperativos del nacionalismo revolucionario; un sendero que hiciera compatibles la construcción del socialismo y la elección del lector. Este ensayo desnuda las tensiones en la construcción de una biblioteca a la vez moderna y socialista en la primera década de la Revolución.
Cultura y resistencia : las bibliotecas de presos políticos en Uruguay (1968-1985)
Authors: Alzugarat Alfredo
Published: March 2023

Una biblioteca de presos políticos tiene como uno de sus destinos principales servir de soporte a la formación ideológica y moral de sus usuarios. En otras palabras, debe ir unida al concepto de escuela de cuadros, esa institución imprescindible en toda organización política pero a veces difícilmente posible, por no decir riesgosa o inviable, en los avatares de la militancia clandestina. La formación de grupos de estudio, la lectura sistemática de materiales básicos para ampliar el horizonte de conocimientos y la adquisición de herramientas de análisis y de reflexión significan un notable aprovechamiento del tiempo de reclusión que apunta a la optimización de la labor militante futura a la vez que echa por tierra las premisas de los carceleros, siempre preocupados por anular o negar tal práctica ideológica.
Consultando a los ancestros
Authors: Spalding Karen W.
Published: March 2023

A pesar del hecho que muchas sociedades en todo el mundo honran a sus muertos como fuente de sabiduría y consejo, colocando ofrendas en sus tumbas y consultándolos sobre opciones y elecciones familiares, el así llamado culto a los antepasados es a menudo presentado como una costumbre exótica y extraña propia de culturas que aún no se han incorporado al mundo moderno y que viven más en el pasado que en el presente. La Iglesia en los Andes condenó la costumbre de consultar y hacer ofrendas a los muertos como evidencia de que la gente que participaba en dichos rituales había rechazado el cristianismo en favor de la idolatría. Algunos investigadores modernos han utilizado los expedientes judiciales de la Iglesia como prueba del fracaso de la conversión y de la persistencia de la religión andina prehispánica detrás de la fachada del cristianismo.

Concuerdo con los comentarios y observaciones de Waldo Mendoza sobre a la información estadística presentada. Tanto la información de la participación de las remuneraciones en el producto como de las remuneraciones e ingresos reales reflejan una reconcentración del ingreso en favor del excedente de explotación, donde el componente de las utilidades de las empresas es el mayor ganador. Las series estadísticas que se presentan son cortas, pero si mostramos información desde la década de 1950, la participación de las remuneraciones en el PBI ha caído de casi 40% (BCRP) a poco más de 20% en 2009 (INEI).
Instituciones y gobernabilidad en América Latina : de la reforma a la fortaleza
Authors: Levitsky Steven
Published: March 2023

La palabra gobernabilidad se usa mucho en América Latina. La usan políticos, ciudadanos y periodistas con tanta frecuencia y tan poca claridad, que el término se vuelve confuso y vacío y es necesario definirlo con precisión. Gobernabilidad, para comenzar, no necesariamente equivale a democracia: también puede haber gobernabilidad autoritaria, como lo demostraron Pinochet, Fujimori, y el largo gobierno del PRI de México. Entonces, no se trata de cualquier gobernabilidad, sino de la democrática, y de cómo conseguirla dentro de un régimen democrático.
Autonomía y monarquismo en un espacio regional : Piura en la consideración de Fernando de Abascal

Uno de los aspectos que la historiografía va descubriendo -o redescubriendo en algunos casos- es lo relativo a la historia de las regiones durante el proceso de Independencia. Si bien se ha centrado la atención en realidades que tuvieron un papel protagónico activo en los episodios de trascendencia que forman parte del establecido período cronológico emancipador, sigue existiendo un vacío en relación a aquellos lugares, grupos de poder e individuos a quienes, por ejemplo, los acontecimientos de Lima y del sur andino les quedaban muy distantes.
Entre dos fuegos : la política de Castelli en el Alto Perú
Authors: Wasserman Fabio
Published: March 2023

A mediados de mayo de 1810, llegaron a Buenos Aires dos noticias que desde hacía varios meses eran esperadas por buena parte de la población con diversas dosis de temor y de esperanza: las fuerzas españolas habían sido derrotadas por el ejército francés que ocupó toda la península salvo la Isla de León, y la Junta Suprema se había disuelto. Al igual que en otras ciudades de América, las elites locales presionaron a las autoridades y lograron convocar a un cabildo abierto para resolver qué hacer ante el estado de acefalía. En esa ocasión se invocó la doctrina de la retroversión de la soberanía para legitimar la creación de un gobierno propio. Tras un vano intento de crear una junta presidida por el virrey Baltasar Cisneros, y ante la amenaza de recurrir a las milicias criollas, el 25 de mayo se le desplazó y se creó la Junta Provisional Gubernativa de las Provincias del Río de la Plata en nombre de Fernando VII integrada por seis vocales y dos secretarios bajo la presidencia de Cornelio Saavedra que comandaba el poderoso cuerpo de patricios.
Vaivenes políticos y participación popular en tierras rioplatenses durante la década de Abascal, 1806-1816

El escenario se sitúa en el actual distrito de Llapa, provincia de San Miguel, departamento de Cajamarca. Ecológicamente, el espacio se puede dividir en forma gruesa en dos zonas, La primera de ellas es la jalea, ubicada entre los 3500 y los 3700 msnm aproximadamente, una meseta altoandina muy húmeda donde crecen pastos naturales y se cultivan principalmente tubérculos andinos (papa, olluco, oca, mashua) y trigo, con períodos de descanso de cuatro a siete años. Acá las zonas agrícolas son mucho más reducidas que las que se destinan al pastoreo. Actualmente se está comenzando a sembrar pastos mejorados
La imagen de los dirigentes vecinales en una organización de asentamientos humanos
Authors: Mujica Bermúdez Luis
Published: March 2023

Este artículo constituye un conjunto de respuestas a una serie de preguntas que forman parte del interés por conocer diversos aspectos de la legitimidad de los dirigentes de las organizaciones, el ejercicio del poder y las imágenes que se forman en torno a sus intervenciones en su contexto concreto inmediato, como es el de una organización vecinal en una zona de Lima. El perfil de dirigente que presentamos aquí se basa, sobre todo, en los discursos que los mismos dirigentes realizan sobre sí mismos, como también, aunque en menor medida, en las concepciones que los pobladores de la organización tienen de sus dirigentes.
El concepto de autoridad según directores de escuelas públicas
Authors: Ansión Juan
Published: March 2023

En el presente trabajo vamos a examinar la manera en que los directores de escuelas públicas urbanas conciben su autoridad. Se toma como base empírica seis entrevistas a directores y subdirectores. 1 Esta autopercepción constituye, desde luego, una manera limitada de hablar de la autoridad del director como tal, en su funcionamiento cotidiano. Una visión más completa deberá en el futuro incorporar las opiniones sobre los directores de los demás actores: profesores; estudiantes; padres y madres de familia, en sus opiniones individuales y como Asociación de Padres de Familia; personal administrativo y de servicios del plantel; personal administrativo de otras instancias; dirigentes del barrio; y sus propios colegas. Investigaciones futuras deberán, además, incluir observaciones de campo y el estudio de las condiciones estructurales en las que los directores vienen desempeñando sus funciones (marco legal y administrativo, marco político, expectativas sociales y culturales).
La autoridad en la escuela : acerca de los profesores
Authors: Ames Patricia
Published: March 2023

Más allá de los contenidos técnicos y los valores que tiene por función trasmitir, la escuela constituye un espacio de interacción social en el que cotidianamente se establecen relaciones de autoridad entre los diversos sujetos que intervienen en ella. Estas relaciones de autoridad forman parte de la cultura institucional de la escuela, o más precisamente la cultura escolar, pero también reflejan características del contexto social más amplio en que funciona la escuela.

Background: The most prevalent naturally occurring amino polysaccharide is chitosan. Chitosan’s biocompatibility biodegradability and non-toxicity have led to its wide spread use in the pharmaceutical industry according to research. The biopolymer chitosan is typically extracted from the crustacean shells such as, Crab, Prawn, Lobster, fish scales etc. Methods: The research was accomplished during 2021-2022 to examine the extraction and characterization of chitosan (polymer) from four different organism of fresh water i.e fish scales, bivalve, prawn and crab shells. Extracted chitosan has been produced by using various parameters i.e. demineralization deproteinization and deacetylation as chemical methods. Result: Results showed that chitosan was found maximum in the crab (Bareytelphusa guerini) 87.29% followed by Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and scales of fish (Channa striatus) which have an average yield (38.55% and 32.56%) respectively and (18.14%)which is lowest yield among all obtained from fresh water mussel (bivalve). The chitosan extracted from the samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and existence of chitosan was confirmed and best yield of chitosan was obtained from Bareytelphusa guerini.
Impact of dialectic behavior therapy and assertiveness training on mental health of socially stressed senior secondary students
Authors: Kienka Rita
Published: March 2023

Social stress from substance abuse is common and worrisome, especially among adolescents. Therefore, this study examined “Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Assertiveness Training” in the management of mental health problems of high school seniors who abuse substances. In the resADDREearch, quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design were used. The research was conducted with 75 students using the multi-stage sampling method. Tools used to collect data are Car, Relax, Alone, Forget, Family/Friend Issue, Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, and Social Phobia Inventory. Two research questions were raised, and two research hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference in the psychosocial problems of adolescents in high school seniors as a result of the interventions, but dialectical behavioral Therapy had a greater effect in reducing adolescents’ social stress, although both treatments had significant effects. Based on the findings, it was recommended that assertiveness education be added to the secondary school curriculum to reduce the incidence of substance abuse.

Keywords: Mental health, substance abuse, dialectic behavior therapy, assertiveness training.
Investigating the mediating effects of insight between decentring and cognitive coping process
Authors: Chan Jeslyn Pui-Ki , Chan Raymond Wai-Man
Published: March 2023

The study aimed to test whether insight mediates decentering and cognitive coping processes in adaptive and maladaptive types. One hundred and fifty-five Chinese adult participants were recruited to complete an online survey, to report their level of decentering, insight, and cognitive coping strategies. The results of the simple regression analyses showed decentering positively predicted adaptive cognitive coping, and negatively predicted maladaptive cognitive coping process to a moderate degree. Mediation analyses revealed the mediating effect of insight only occurred in the relationship between decentering and maladaptive cognitive coping strategies, suggesting less decentering predicted greater maladaptive cognitive coping processes via a lower level of insight. The study contributed to the new understanding of the decentering mechanism of the cognitive coping process. Insight had a stronger effect on maladaptive cognitive coping than on adaptive cognitive coping strategies. The study provided recommendations to improve outcome effectiveness in mental health intervention.

Published: March 2023

Forensic DNA phenotyping [FDP] is a new approach that uses DNA to create probabilistic inferences about a person’s observable traits. It is an amazing fact that helps us to learn about something from the object that they left behind at the scene of crime. The most discarded items like cigarette buds, chewing gums, Tobacco residue and bidi. From this discarded waste, it helps to extract a trace amount of DNA evidence to create a DNA profile of a person which helps to reconstruct a person’s face. This process can be done, with the identification of hair colour, height, eye colour, sex, age, and even morphology of the face, and the ancestry of criminal and accused persons with the help of their genetic constituents.
AS ANIMAÇÕES QUE EU ASSISTO, OS DESENHOS QUE EU FAÇO
Authors: Pereira Isac
Published: March 2023

Em relações estritamente sensíveis e singulares, crianças nutridas pelo entorno e pelo que lhes apraz, criam mundos a partir de seus desenhos; saltam, brincam, voam, são heróis e vilões. Acreditando-se ser o momento áureo na relação da criança com as produções audiovisuais na atualidade, produções que dialogam com toda sua rede neuronal, com essas experiências, memórias e imaginários em constante devir, o texto objetiva por salientar a premência para também se estabelecer esse lugar na educação. Como metodologia, utilizou-se dados teóricos e de campo, com coletas de desenhos de crianças do Fundamental I. Os resultados alcançados se basearam nas produções do acervo do autor, que de maneira mais concreta e palpável manifestam essas interconexões entre produções audiovisuais e criatividade infantil enquanto relações inerentes entre elas. Nisso, considera-se que determinadas obras com imagem e sons que causam experiências significativas para as crianças lhes convidam a agir, incitando seus corpos a saírem da passividade do assistir por assistir, para tão logo criarem dentro do campo da Arte.

The Dynamics of Congressional Committees in Budget Legislation and Its Impact to Philippine Economic Development
Authors: Capiral Arvin Karl Demillo
Published: March 2023

This research examines the dynamics of the 17th congress in the budget legislation process and posts an argument regarding its impact on Philippine economic development using a qualitative research design. The researchers use theoretical debate and literature study to identify the political motivations that affect the Congressmen in the approval of the budget, namely: self-interest, political clientelism, and political interference. An online interview was conducted with the selected key informants to know the significance of each factor in congress's decision-making regarding the budget's approval. The results indicate that self-interest, political clientelism, political interference, and the executive department significantly influence the congressional committees on the budget legislation process. This article concludes that the effectiveness of lawmakers' roles in managing the economy correlates with the majority of representation held by the government's ruling party, as in the case of the 17th congress.
