Published: December 2022

Information Technology Integration in the physics learning process has not happened optimally. Therefore, a study was conducted, which aims to describe the feasibility of physics teaching materials based on blended-learning with Schoology in subject matter impulses and momentum. This research is research and development using the ADDIE model. The trial subjects in this study were 28 students of class XI in one of the Vocational Schools in the city of Banjarmasin. The instruments used were media validation sheets, lesson plan implementation sheets, and learning outcome tests. Data is then analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results of the study state that the learning materials developed 1) was valid, sourced from the results of the validation sheet, 2) was practical, based on the lesson plan implementation sheet, and 3) was effective in improving learning outcomes, seen from the results of the N-gain test. It can be concluded that physics teaching materials based on blended learning with Schoology that are developed are feasible to use in subject matter impulses and momentum. Teaching materials integrated with Schoology can be used as an alternative learning solution to improve the quality of blended learning.

Context.—

Prostate cancer diagnosis rests on accurate assessment of tissue by a pathologist. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to digitized whole slide images (WSIs) can aid pathologists in cancer diagnosis, but robust, diverse evidence in a simulated clinical setting is lacking.

Objective.—

To compare the diagnostic accuracy of pathologists reading WSIs of prostatic biopsy specimens with and without AI assistance.

Design.—

Eighteen pathologists, 2 of whom were genitourinary subspecialists, evaluated 610 prostate needle core biopsy WSIs prepared at 218 institutions, with the option for deferral. Two evaluations were performed sequentially for each WSI: initially without assistance, and immediately thereafter aided by Paige Prostate (PaPr), a deep learning–based system that provides a WSI-level binary classification of suspicious for cancer or benign and pinpoints the location that has the greatest probability of harboring cancer on suspicious WSIs. Pathologists’ changes in sensitivity and specificity between the assisted and unassisted modalities were assessed, together with the impact of PaPr output on the assisted reads.

Results.—

Using PaPr, pathologists improved their sensitivity and specificity across all histologic grades and tumor sizes. Accuracy gains on both benign and cancerous WSIs could be attributed to PaPr, which correctly classified 100% of the WSIs showing corrected diagnoses in the PaPr-assisted phase.

Conclusions.—

This study demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of an AI tool for pathologists in simulated diagnostic practice, bridging the gap between computational pathology research and its clinical application, and resulted in the first US Food and Drug Administration authorization of an AI system in pathology.

Published: December 2022

Camelina has been used from ancient times, but recently has re-emerged as a valuable plant with the potential for successful replacement of conventional oilseed crops. The utilisation of camelina and its by-products in animal feed is a matter of scientific study due to their excellent nutritional potential. The present study aimed to investigate the nutritive value of two Serbian camelina seed genotypes (NS Zlatka and NS Slatka) as a potential alternative to commonly used oilseed crops in animal feeding. For that purpose proximate composition, fatty acid profile, amino acid profile and tocopherols were analysed. The study also included the investigation of the content of anti-nutritive compounds that can adversely affect the nutritional value of feed. The results showed that camelina seeds had a high amount of proteins (around 28%), amino acids and gtocopherols. Camelina genotypes were characterized by unique fatty acids composition, with its oil consisting of approximately 57% polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which the highest proportions were a-linolenic acid (~37%) and linoleic acid (~17%). An optimal ratio of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (0.5) was also reported in this study. The concentration of anti-nutritional factors and heavy metals in camelina seeds was below the maximum set limit for feedstuff. To conclude, the investigated Serbian camelina genotypes can be used as a valuable source of proteins, essential fatty acids and tocopherols in animal nutrition and has a great potential to replace conventional oilseeds.
Consumer ethnocentrism under the circumstances of the COVID-19 virus pandemic
Authors: Marinković Veljko , Lazarević Jovana , Marić Dražen
Published: December 2022

Background: The new circumstances of life due to the proclamation of the COVID 19 virus pandemic have caused numerous changes both in general people's lives and in consumption. Purpose: The aim of this paper is to identify changes in the degree of consumer ethnocentrism when choosing products during the COVID 19 virus pandemic, compared to the period before its occurrence. In addition, differences in consumer preferences for certain domestic products and services before and during the pandemic were analyzed. The paper also deals with differences in ethnocentric tendencies during the pandemic between different socio-demographic consumer segments. Study design/methodology/approach: The primary data were collected from 176 respondents by using the survey method. A paired samples t test is used for hypotheses testing. Independent samples t test and Anova, post hoc Scheffe test, were conducted for analysing differences in ethnocentric tendencies between observed consumer segments during the pandemic. Findings/conclusions: Higher level of consumer ethnocentrism is confirmed in period during the pandemic, especially when it comes to choice of domestic medical products. On the other hand, lower level of consumer ethnocentrism is observed for fashion products and insurance during the pandemic. Older consumers and pensioners exhibit stronger ethnocentric tendencies during the pandemic. Limitations/future research: The main limitation of the paper relates to the use of only a few of the 17 statements within the CET scale for measuring ethnocentric tendencies before and during the pandemic. Also, the research did not cover all categories of domestic products and services. According to the limitations, future studies are recommended to fully apply the CET scale for measuring consumer ethnocentrism. Also, the recommendation is to observe higher number of categories of products and services, and to break down the categories into several subcategories. Finally, future studies can also include some of the determinants of consumer ethnocentrism in the research model.

El deber constitucional de compensar cargas públicas injustificadamente desiguales
Authors: Arancibia Mattar Jaime
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo pretende contribuir al desarrollo dogmático del deber compensatorio de la desigualdad ante las cargas públicas como correlato o efecto directo de la garantía constitucional homónima. Para tal efecto, procura contradecir las razones jurídicas en las que se funda la omisión compensatoria en ciertas hipótesis del derecho nacional y proponer un listado de hipótesis o casos objetivos en que debe operar la restauración de la simetría perdida.Entre las características del deber compensatorio de cargas públicas asimétricas, cabe destacar que: a) la carga desigual satisface un interés público; b) la desigualdad que motiva la compensación es injustificada; c) la compensación sólo se extiende al daño patrimonial efectivamente causado; y d) la inexistencia u omisión de ejercicio de poderes compensatorios no empece al sujeto gravado sino sólo produce la mutación del título resarcitorio desde la igualdad distributiva hacia la responsabilidad del Estado por daño de interés público no compensado.Si bien el precepto constitucional sobre igualdad de las cargas públicas no consagra la responsabilidad del Estado por gravámenes desiguales, garantiza un deber estatal compensatorio cuya infracción da origen —recién entonces— a la responsabilidad del Estado (arts. 6 y 7 de la Constitución).La regulación de potestades compensatorias específicas no significa que la garantía constitucional requiere de estas para su operatividad. El deber compensatorio emana directamente de la garantía constitucional. La razón de su regulación explícita obedece a la necesidad de incorporar mayores precisiones normativas ante casos particulares. Por tanto, el deber de pago procede incluso ante la ausencia de poderes compensatorios específicos, sólo que bajo la modalidad de responsabilidad del Estado por omisión de pago.La igualdad formal en la imposición de un gravamen público puede configurar igualmente una desigualdad material de aquellos sujetos que han visto frustradas sus confianzas legítimas por la introducción de la carga. Asimismo, la indeterminación parcial de la obligación compensatoria del artículo 19 Nº. 20 tampoco obsta a su exigibilidad, cuando el deber de fijación corresponde al deudor estatal.

Las cargas públicas injustificadamente desiguales pueden ser impuestas mediante potestades diversas. Corresponden, inter alia, a actos estatales de interés público que obligan a un sujeto de buena fe a dar o hacer algo en ejercicio de una función; o a soportar la privación o limitación especial de la propiedad sobre bienes corporales o incorporales, la frustración de expectativas favorables protegidas, la reiteración de un procedimiento de gravamen, y la mayor onerosidad del deber legal por hechos imprevisibles e inimputables a las partes.

Classroom instruction became a popular topic due to its crucial role in teaching and learning activities. The teacher plays an essential role in providing quality classroom instruction. This study tries to explore the key predictors of instructional quality. This study was conducted on 283 teachers taken randomly. We used an online questionnaire to reach the research participants in east java, Indonesia. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilized to examine the relationship between the variables. The findings revealed that the teacher competencies, including cognitive and motivational aspects, positively affected instructional quality. This study also revealed that teachers' cognitive aspect is not the only predictor of instructional quality. The motivational aspect also plays a crucial role in predicting instructional quality. This study provides several insights for related stakeholders (such as teachers, policymakers, and universities) in making efforts or policies to improve teacher instructional quality.

Authors: Singh R , Adhikiri M , Tinarwo P , Jeena P
Published: December 2022

Background. Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) occurs in approximately 5% of babies born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid. Risk factors associated with severity of MAS in neonates from developing countries has been infrequently described. 

Objective. To identify incidence and risk factors associated with the severity of MAS in a lower middle-income country. 

Method. A retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted on records of neonates diagnosed with MAS at four regional hospitals in the eThekwini district of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2017. 

Results. A total of 187 neonates had been diagnosed with MAS, of whom 157 survived. The overall incidence of MAS was 2 per 1 000 live births. All the neonates were born through thick meconium. The majority (n=119, 63.6%) of patients were male. Asphyxia was documented in 97 cases (51.9%) and was significantly associated with severe disease (p<0.001). Seizures were noted in 91patients (48.7%), of which 86 (94.5%) occurred in neonates with asphyxia. A quarter of the sample (n=47, 25%) were outborn, with severe disease associated significantly with this group (p=0.025). Multiple logistic regression showed that the occurrence of seizures was significantly associated with severe MAS, (adjusted odds ratio = 23.7, 95% confidence interval 7.58 - 97.7; p<0.001). 

Conclusion. Neonates born through thick meconium, with moderate to severe asphyxia that is associated with seizures are at increased risk of developing severe MAS. Close monitoring of labour in the intrapartum period, early recognition of fetal distress and timely obstetric intervention are crucial to prevent asphyxia.

Published: December 2022

Objetivou-se determinar os valores basais de parâmetros do eritrograma, leucograma e bioquímicos de equinos da raça Fjord. As amostras de sangue de 51 equinos foram colhidas pela manhã, com os animais em repouso, por punção jugular. A análise foi realizada em relação ao sexo (machos e fêmeas). Em relação à idade, os animais foram classificados em GI (< 12 meses), GII (12-36 meses), GIII (36-180 meses) e GIV (>180 meses). O experimento foi inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 4*2 (4 grupos de idade por 2 sexos). As médias foram comparadas pelo teste de SNK a 5% de probabilidade. O sexo e a idade influenciaram (p < 0 ,05) algumas variáveis hematológicas e bioquímicas dos Fjords. Das variáveis bioquímicas avaliadas, apenas a creatinina sofreu influência dos grupos de idade nas fêmeas. Conclui-se que equinos da raça Fjord criados no Brasil apresentam alterações hematológicas e/ou bioqímicas quando avaliados segundo o sexo e idade. Os valores dos parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos observados se assemelham aos estabelecidos na literatura para animais de tração e as alterações observadas não comprometem o desempenho dos animais e sua higidez. Os resultados apresentados podem servir como valores de referência para equinos da raça Fjord, auxiliando na avaliação clínico-laboratorial destes animais.
Riemannian geometric modeling of underwater acoustic ray propagation ·application——Riemannian geometric model of convergence zone in deep ocean remote sound propagation

Convergence-zone (CZ) sound propagation is one of the most important hydro-acoustic phenomena in the deep ocean, which allows the acoustic signals with high intensity and low distortion to realize the long-range transmission. Accurate prediction and identification of CZ is of great significance in implementing remote detection or communication, but there is still no standard definition in the sense of mathematical physics for convergence zone. Especially for the issue of systematic error of computation introduced by the earth curvature, there is no exact propagation model. The curvature-correction methods always lead to the imprecision of the ray phase. In previous research work, we realized that the Riemannian geometric meaning of the caustics phenomena caused by ray convergence is that the caustic points are equivalent to the conjugate points, which form on geodesics with positive section curvature. In this work, we present a spherical layered acoustic ray propagation model for CZ based on the Riemannian geometric theory. With direct computation in the curved manifolds of the earth , a Riemannian geometric description of CZ is provided for the first time, on the basis of comprehensive analysis about its characteristics. And it shows that the mathematical expression of section curvature adds an additional item \begin{document}${{\hat c(l){{\hat c}^\prime }(l)}}/{l}$\end{document} after considering the earth curvature, which reflects the influence of the earth curvature on the ray topology and CZ. By means of Jacobi field theory of Riemannian geometry, computational rule and method of the location and distance of CZ in deep water are proposed. Taking the typical Munk sound velocity profile for example, the new Riemannian geometric model of CZ is compared with the normal mode and curvature-correction method. Simulation and analysis show that the Riemannian geometric model of CZ given in this paper is a mathematical form naturally considering the earth curvature with theoretical accuracy, which lays more solid scientific foundations for the study of convergence zone. Moreover, we find that the location of CZ moves towards sound source when the earth curvature is considered, and the width of CZ near the sea surface first increases and then decreases with sound propagation proceeding. The maximum width is about 20 km and the minimum is about 4 km.

Published: December 2022

The variable thickness annular radial piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer can realize impedance transformation and energy concentration, has the advantages of large radiation area and full directivity, and is widely used in power ultrasound, underwater acoustic and other fields. Because solving complex variable thickness metal ring radial vibration wave equation is more difficult, in this paper, the radial vibration of metal rings with variable thickness is transformed into the superposition of the radial vibrations of N metal rings with equal thickness by using the transfer matrix method. The equivalent circuit diagram, the resonance frequency equation and the expression of the displacement amplification coefficient of the radial vibration of the metal thin ring with arbitrary thickness are obtained. The relationship between the displacement amplification coefficient and the geometric size of the cone, power function, exponential and catenary metal rings is analyzed. On this basis, the equivalent circuit and resonance frequency equation of radial vibration of piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer which is composed of a metal ring with variable thickness and a piezoelectric ring with equal thickness are derived. In order to verify the correctness of the theoretical results, the finite element software is used in simulation, and the numerical solutions of the first and second order resonance frequency and displacement amplification coefficients are in good agreement with the theoretical solutions. In this paper, the universal solution of radial vibration of metal ring with arbitrary variable thickness is given, which provides theoretical guidance for designing and optimizing the radial piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers.
Agnes Thorsen und die Entdeckung einer Sehnsuchtslandschaft
Authors: Klein Andreas
Published: December 2022

1897 veröffentlichte der Abel’sche Kunstverlag in Christiania (Oslo) das Kartenalbum Fra Finmarken mit Darstellungen und Texten, die vom Leben und der Natur in Nordnorwegen inspiriert sind. Während die Bilder von Agnes Thorsen (1862–1955), Gründerin, Schulleiterin und Lehrerin an der privaten Mittelschule Nordstrand, angefertigt wurden, sind die Textfragmente Zitate zeitgenössischer Autoren. Fra Finmarken ist Thorsens einzige eigenständige Publikation. Mein Artikel widmet sich dem Hintergrund und der Rezeptionsgeschichte sowie dem gesellschaftlichen und kunsthistorischen Kontext ihres Werks. Ich diskutiere, wie Nordnorwegen im Album dargestellt ist, und zeige, wie Thorsens Bilder in einen Dialog mit den zitierten Texten treten.
Om å reise nordover til Hiddensee, «Dem letzen ord der freiheit innerhalb der grenzen»
Authors: Bordemann Suzanne
Published: December 2022

Året er 1989, bare få måneder før Den tyske demokratiske republikk (DDR) går i oppløsning. I Lutz Seilers prisbelønte roman Kruso (2014, norsk 2015) utspiller handlingen seg på den legendariske baltiske øya Hiddensee. Mange som har lidd skipbrudd innenfor systemet har reist til Hiddensee. Boken forteller om en gruppe intellektuelle og dissidenter på den østtyske ferieøya helt i utkanten av landet. I denne artikkelen ser jeg nærmere på noen av romanens tallrike motiver fra reiselitteraturgenren. Romanen Kruso benytter seg av ulike reisemotiver knyttet til robinsonaden for å skildre en avsidesliggende østtysk øy som et magisk sted der DDRs flyktninger kunne frigjøre seg fra vareøkonomiens fristelser og dermed bli resistent mot tanken på å prøve seg på et livsfarlig fluktforsøk over Østersjøen til Møn, det vil si Vesten. Bokens helt Kruso proklamerer en allmenn humanitet, der naturen på Hiddensee gir mennesket mulighet til å vokse. Kruso ser på friheten som en oppgave, og naturen fungerer som veileder.

Published: December 2022

Artikkelen tar for seg den svenske forfatteren Klas Östergrens roman Hilde (2019), som tar opp og utvider historien om Henrik Ibsens karakter Hilde Wangel. Dette bestillingsverket ble til som en del av det skandinaviske litteraturprosjektet Ibsen NOR, som så langt har fått lite oppmerksomhet innen litteraturvitenskap. Målet med denne artikkelen er å se på både fortellinger om sykdom og det flerlagsforhold mellom hovedpersonen og medisinen i romanen. Fokus er på en psykoanalytisk scene som dukker opp tre ganger i Hilde. Innenfor denne betraktningen utforskes romanens forhold til de underliggende dramaene og andre litterære intertekster samt til medisinsk og (litteratur)vitenskapelig teori og praksis.
Mit Adelbert von Chamisso durch das jahr 1822
Authors: Weber Jutta
Published: December 2022

Der Aufsatz begleitet den Dichter und Naturforscher Adelbert von Chamisso durch das Jahr 1822: Wir erfahren von seinem Familienleben, erleben den Brand seines Hauses in Schöneberg, sehen die Entstehung der ersten Übersetzung des Peter Schlemihl ins Französische, lernen seine Korrespondenz mit Forschern und mit dem Bruder Hippolyte kennen und erfahren, welche Gedichte er in diesem Jahr schrieb. Zitate aus seiner Korrespondenz illustrieren und belegen die in verschiedenen Biographien zu findenden Informationen zu seinem Leben. Die zitierte Korrespondenz ist in digitalen Kopien der Originalbriefe, die in seinem Nachlass in der Berliner Staatsbibliothek liegen, online weltweit zugänglich. Bisher sind sie allerdings nur lückenhaft und in Auszügen veröffentlicht. Der Aufsatz ist daher ein vehementes Plädoyer dafür, Chamissos Korrespondenz in einer elektronischen Edition, die auf den Vorarbeiten durch die elektronische Katalogisierung des Nachlasses in der Berliner Staatsbibliothek basiert, in ihrem vollen Umfang zugänglich zu machen.
Methodological Insights on Teachers’ Professional Agency in Narratives
Authors: Heikkilä Mirva
Published: December 2022

This article presents post-structural narrative methodologies to examine teachers’ agency. According to previous research, agency is important for the learning and well-being of teachers. However, post-structuralism has questioned the assumption of agency as being located in the individual and has claimed a more entwined and relational perspective. The article disturbs clear-cut categorisations of teachers’ agency as strong or weak and argues for examining narrative practice because teachers use a variety of grammatical resources that are not inherently personal but are entwined with cultural narratives. This methodological approach reveals how teachers appear agentic and vulnerable at the same time. Thereby, it helps illustrate multifaceted views of the teaching profession.

Published: December 2022

Um dos grandes desafios dos produtores de vinho no Brasil é inserir o hábito do consumo da bebida pela população. Para isso, conhecer o mercado de vinho e seus nichos existentes é de suma importância. Dada a diversidade de consumidores de vinho, espera-se que diferentes motivações e constrangimentos sustentem o processo de escolha do vinho. O presente trabalho, tem como objetivo mapear temas relacionados ao consumidor de vinhos utilizado o método da TCP. O método utilizado para o alcance do objetivo foi o método da Revisão Sistemática que teve como pergunta norteadora: “Quais variáveis trabalhadas no tema de comportamento de consumo de vinho usando a metodologia TCP”. Aqueles artigos que de algum modo respondia a essa questão foi selecionado para fase de extração de dados, sendo esses os resultados desta pesquisa. O que emerge da literatura selecionada pela revisão sistemática é que as preferências dos consumidores de vinho diferem muito de país para país das características sociodemográficas específicas, se bem conhecidas pelos produtores de vinho, podem atuar como antecipadoras de comportamentos específicos do consumidor para facilitar as decisões de compra de vinho.

Os resultados apontam que as empresas que possuem mais etapas da cadeia produtiva inseridas na sua atividade econômica apresentam uma pior lucratividade. No que diz respeito à governança corporativa, observou-se um incremento rentável em alguns níveis (Novo Mercado e N1). Além disso, empresas controladas majoritariamente pela iniciativa privada apresentaram uma melhor lucratividade do que as empresas estatais.

A presente pesquisa buscou identificar se fatores como idade, nível de Formação Acadêmica e Religiosidade poderiam influenciar o comportamento das pessoas no tocante à tomada de decisão em situações que há a exposição ao risco financeiro. O estudo tem como alicerce teórico a teoria dos prospectos, proposta pelos estudiosos Kahneman e Tversky (1979) e busca perceber a influência do efeito framing no processo de decisão. A amostra contou com observações de todas as regiões políticas do país e teve a participação de 423 estudantes distribuídos entre os cursos de graduação em Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Economia. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, um questionário foi aplicado aos estudantes buscando conhecer o perfil desses respondentes, além de submetê-los à questões-problemas com intuito de avaliar se seus comportamentos seriam afetados com a presença do risco financeiro em seus investimentos. Com base nas respostas enviadas pelos respondentes e fazendo uso de regressões Logit, os resultados demonstram que a variável idade não apresentou, em nenhum dos cenários construídos, significância estatística para explicar a racionalidade (ou a falta dela) das escolhas. Os resultados também sugerem que não há precisão na afirmação de que a Formação Acadêmica possa ser considerada um driver mitigador do efeito framing. Por fim, os resultados apontam que apenas a Religiosidade, dentre os fatores aqui analisados, pode influenciar de maneira significativamente estatística o comportamento dos respondentes sendo considerada um driver mitigador dos efeitos da teoria dos prospectos, inclusive do seu efeito framing.

Os estudos sobre a teoria institucional ganharam espaço no campo dos estudos organizacionais por fornecer maneiras de compreender os padrões implícitos e a diversidade dentro das organizações. Para Pereira (2012), a teoria institucional pretende explicar fenômenos organizacionais compreendendo como as estruturas e ações se legitimam, podendo explicar o fenômeno do isomorfismo, que é um mecanismo utilizado pelas organizações. Neste contexto, entender a cultura organizacional é de grande importância. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o processo de formação da cultura organizacional de uma nova empresa de distribuição cearense, pertencente a um grupo econômico, conforme o Competing Value Model (CVM) desenvolvido por Cameron e Quinn (2011). A pesquisa utilizou abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que a nova empresa desenvolveu muitas das práticas do grupo de origem, tomando-o como modelo, administrando as resistências encontradas e aprimorando práticas e ações, sugerindo a ocorrência do isomorfismo institucional mimético, ou seja, a tendência em que as organizações adotem estruturas semelhantes e atuarem de forma também similar. O estudo contribuiu procurando identificar e compreender a influência dos principais aspectos que norteiam o processo de institucionalização e de formação da cultura organizacional, ampliando assim o conhecimento das temáticas no âmbito dos estudos organizacionais.

Aims: This study aimed to examine the effect of different types of meat on the chemical and organoleptic properties of sempol.

Study Design and Methodology:  It employed an experimental method with Fully Randomized Design (FRD) in three treatments, each of which was applied to DA (chicken), DS (beef), and DK (lamb), and repeated four times each. The observed variables were chemical composition (moisture, protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrate content), organoleptic quality (taste, aroma, texture, and color), microstructure, and element composition of sempol.

Place and Duration of Study: It was conducted in March - April 2022 at West Waru, Pamekasan for sempol production, Nutrition Laboratory of UMM for testing the chemical content, Bioscience Laboratory of Universitas Brawijaya for SEM testing.

Results: The study provided a significant effect (p<0.05) on the physicochemical composition except fat and protein (p>0.05), due to the physicochemical content of the meat used. The average physicochemical value of moisture was 58.22%, ash 3.06%, fat 23.76%, protein 10.81%, and carbohydrate 35.38%. The physicochemical content of sempol meets Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 2014 except for fat and carbohydrate. Based on sensory properties, panelists preferred sempol with chicken. The use of different types of meat in sempol did not provide a significant effect (p>0.05) on organoleptic taste, aroma, and texture, except color. Meanwhile, the microstructure of sempol beef has a better shape. The cavity surface tissue forms more uniformly and creates a fibrous three-dimensional metric compared to that of chicken and lamb. Some of the elements detected in sempol beef were carbon (C), oxygen (O), sodium (Na), silicon (Si), sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl), potassium (K), and zirconium (Zr). The most complete chemical elements was detected only in sempol lamb.

Conclusion: The use of different types of meat affects moisture, ash, and carbohydrate content, yet it does not affect protein and fat content. The organoleptic qualities of texture, taste, color and aroma are accepted by the panelists.

Background: The quality of life (QOL) among women with breast cancer is hampered in areas of social, emotional, and sexual functioning and this could persist even years after treatment.  It is an important parameter for monitoring disease progression at the early stage. Hence, this study aimed to determine the factors associated with the overall quality of life among subjects living with breast cancer.

Methods: The study was a comparative cross-sectional design conducted among women with breast cancer attending the General Surgical Outpatient clinic of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Ogbomoso and a comparison group of age-matched control. The instrument used include the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF and socio-demographic and clinical variable questionnaire in 240 interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. A P-value of less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. The predictors of overall QOL were analyzed using a binary logistic regression.

Results: All QOL domain scores were significantly higher among controls than in subjects with breast cancer. ρ-value = 0.001.  Level of education and duration of diagnosis had a statistically significant association with the overall quality of life, P-value< 0.05. Respondents who attained a tertiary level of education were 0.040 times less likely to have a poor quality of life compared to respondents that were not educated (P-value= 0.038) and the odds of having a poor overall quality of life decreased with duration since diagnosis P-value= 0.049.

Conclusion: Our study shows that women with breast cancer experience a lower QOL, especially in the physical, psychological and social domains than women without the disease. Also, the level of education, employment and marital status, and duration since diagnosis were major factors influencing QOL. Assessment of QOL is an important metric that should be incorporated into the breast cancer treatment program.

Published: December 2022

Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses in plants. This investigation aimed to study the effect of drought stress on twenty four cotton genotypes belonging to Gossypium barbadense L., in a randomized complete block design with three replications at Sakha Experimental Station, Agricultural Research Center, Kafr El-Sheikh government, Egypt, during five growing seasons from 2016 to 2020 for the two treatments normal and drought. The normal irrigation treatment was done every fifteen days as recommended to receive eight irrigations during the growing season, while drought stress treatment received only four irrigations during the plant growth cycle. The studied traits were boll weight, seed cotton yield / plant, lint yield / plant and lint %. The four studied yield traits showed highly significant differences for genotypes, environments and G x E. These results indicated that the studied genotypes were differed in their responses under both treatments. Overall, the variation was mainly attributed to environments (20.921, 24.462, 26.975 and 32.549%) followed by the genotypes (14.669, 8.509, 7.499 and 5.016%) and GEI (11.934, 15.216, 13.786 and 9.004%) for boll weight, seed cotton yield, lint yield and lint %, respectively. Phenotypic stability of the twenty four cotton genotypes was tested using GGE-biplot method across ten environments. Based on GEI and GG-biplot analysis, genotypes G5, G19 and G20 located in the mega-environments (E1, E3 and E5) were identified as the ideal genotypes with more stability and higher lint cotton yield production.
