The purpose. The aim of scientific research is to deepen the methodological foundation regarding the essence of knowledge as a source of the enterprise intellectualization and the innovative enterprise intellectual potential effective use ensuring priority. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study consists of: knowledge-based economy theories; entrepreneurship, institutionalism; microeconomic theory of knowledge management; knowledge transformation theories, obtaining new knowledge; of self-learning organization concept. General scientific and formal-logical methods of comparison, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, as well as historical, genetic, linguistic, hermeneutic and heuristic research methods are used. Results. The article is devoted to the justification of the theoretical and methodological principles regarding the essence, place and role of knowledge as the enterprise intellectualization source and the priority of ensuring the innovative enterprises intellectual potential effective use in order to develop their competitive advantages in the knowledge-based economy paradigm. The main stages that change the role of knowledge in society are characterized. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the enterprise can face active competition only if the intellectual component of its resource portfolio is improved. In this context, the information revolution caused new requirements for economic knowledge, and not so much for their volume, but for quality, that reflects the imperatives of progressive, highly moral management. Accordingly, the “center of gravity” of the modern reproduction process objectively shifts from the sphere of market economic transactions to the knowledge reproduction economic space of a high moral and creative level. Modern approaches to understanding information and knowledge are considered, and their comprehensive characteristics are given. The relationship between the categories “data”, “information” and “knowledge” is studied. A new essence understanding of categories “knowledge” and “enterprise intellectualization” is proposed. The knowledge types in the context of epistemological approach are singled out. Scientific novelty. The methodological knowledge essence basis is developed in the work. A classification of knowledge is proposed for better explicit and hidden knowledge management effectiveness differentiation and increasing in the context of innovative development is proposed. Practical significance of the obtained results. The author's developments and recommendations can be used for the purpose of managing the enterprise intellectual potential in order to increase the economic added value due to the generation of organizational knowledge.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the perspective of doctors, nurses, and social workers about practices for older people health in primary care and in hospitals; to create guidelines for the practice of interdisciplinary consultations. Method: Cross-sectional study involving 291 professionals from public institutions in the northern region of Portugal. Data were collected between May/2018 and March/2019, using a questionnaire which was then subjected to descriptive and analytical statistical analysis. Results: The usefulness of scales for elderly people showed no differences between hospital and primary care. Hospital professionals collected the following data: eyesight/hearing; medication; direct contact or contact by writing between professionals; daily team meetings; need to share information among colleagues. Primary care professionals, in turn, valued: weight/height, swallowing; the need for home visits; direct contact or via e-mail between professionals; weekly team meetings. Conclusion: The practices of the professionals suggested an intervention model with common aspects in both groups, but with specificities for both primary and hospital care.

Published: October 2023

Abstract The tick Amblyomma tigrinum inhabits areas with diverse climatic conditions, with adult stages parasitizing wild canids, such as chilla (Lycalopex griseus) and culpeo (Lycalopex culpaeus) foxes. We described the infestation loads in wild foxes captured at three sites (periurban, rural and wild) through an anthropization gradient in north-central Chile. We tested whether local-scale environmental and/or individual host factors can predict tick abundance by using negative binomial models. During 2018-2020 (spring and summer), we captured 116 foxes (44 chillas and 72 culpeos), and 102 of them were infested with ticks (87.9%, CI=80.6-93.2%). We collected 996 A. tigrinum adult ticks, estimating a total mean abundance of 8.6±0.8 ticks/host. Periurban and rural foxes harbored greater tick loads than foxes from the wild site (2.34 and 1.71 greater, respectively) while tick abundance in summer decreased by up to 57% compared to spring. Tempered, more humid climate conditions of the periurban site could favor the development and survival of adults A. tigrinum; and ticks may have adopted a quiescent stage or similar survival mechanisms to cope with summer temperature increases related to the ongoing megadrought. Further studies are warranted to understand the underlying factors determining the life cycle of A. tigrinum at larger spatiotemporal scales.
PERCEPÇÕES DOCENTES SOBRE A AVALIAÇÃO DAS APRENDIZAGENS: COMPREENSÃO, FUNÇÃO E MOMENTO
Authors: Philippe Gabriel , Ortega Lenise , Rabelo Andrey
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar algumas reflexões quanto às percepções docentes sobre a avaliação das aprendizagens. A partir de um questionário aberto, contendo 10 itens, encaminhado a quatro professores de instituições públicas de Belo Horizonte/MG, buscou-se identificar os aspectos relativos à compreensão, à realização, à função, ao momento, aos modos, aos instrumentos/recursos, às razões, aos resultados, aos desafios e à existência da avaliação na prática pedagógica dos participantes. Destes itens, foram selecionados para o artigo três, sendo: compreensão, função e momento. A partir deles, correlacionou-se as percepções dos professores participantes entre si com as reflexões em Luckesi (2000, 2005), Melo e Bastos (2012), Mizukami (1986), Moreto (2010), Pinto (2016), Gagné (1975), Freire (1982, 1987, 1996), Lave (2013), Santos (2005), Soares da Silva (2021), Perrenoud (1998) e outros autores. Os dados revelam que, apesar da diversidade conceitual percebida nos relatos dos participantes, as concepções avaliativas dos professores podem ser organizadas em dois grupos: concepções avaliativas essencial e funcional, em que ambas se constituem como antíteses uma à outra. Ainda, avaliar as aprendizagens é diferente de se avaliar os sujeitos em/das aprendizagens, uma vez que, no primeiro caso, busca-se compreender o processo ensino-aprendizagem como um todo, reconhecendo os atores, a prática pedagógica e as situações didáticas que orientam os trabalhos em sala. Avaliar os sujeitos em/das aprendizagens, por outro lado, remonta o ideário de que as aprendizagens são cumulativas, passíveis de transferência, do professor ao aluno, além de responsabilizar o sujeito pelo seu “insucesso” nas situações de aprendizagens.

Published: October 2023

Rotavirus stands out as the etiological agent of acute gastroenterocolitis. The presence of Rotavirus in surface waters is a consequence of the presence of humans and non-human animals, responsible for waste containing viral particles. The physical-chemical factors of water are essential for the presence of microorganisms, with emphasis on pH, turbidity and heavy metals. The aim of this research was to track Rotavirus in water from shallow wells in rural communities, quantify the number of genomic copies per liter and statistically analyze the correlation with the aluminum concentration and turbidity intensity of the samples. The collections were carried out in 5 rural communities, with 31 samples collected. To determine the turbidity, the nephelometric method was considered and the aluminum content in the samples, the colorimetric method was considered. Rotavirus was detected in 23/31 samples (74%), showing a moderate positive corre-lation with turbidity intensity, rs = 0.60; p-value = 0.004 and weak negative correlation with aluminum concentration, t = - 0.31; p-value = 0.04. The physicochemical properties are essential for the presence of Rotavirus in water. The turbidity of the water, the presence of aluminum and the pH has a strong influence on the presence and amount of viral particles.
Error variance estimation for the partially linear model
Authors: Ahoutou Belly N'kôyossè Martial , Yode Armel Fabrice Evrard , Kouakou Kouamé Florent
Published: October 2023

To address the curse of dimensionality problem associated with multivariate nonparametric regression models, we consider partially linear regression models. A contribution to statistical inference in the partially linear regression model is to propose estimators of the error variance with good asymptotic properties. We propose two estimators of the error variance in a partially linear regression model and their respective asymptotic normality. Using a simulation–based study, we will compare the performance of our estimator with the performance of other concurrent estimators existing in the statistical literature
The needle penetration index for estimating the physico-mechanical properties of pyroclastic rocks
Authors: Kahraman S. , Ince I.
Published: October 2023

Preparation of suitable core specimens for physico-mechanical testing s not always possible, particularly for soft and clay-bearing rocks. Although several indirect test methods have been proposed to predict the properties of rocks, specimen preparation from soft rocks for some indirect tests is still difficult. For such cases, the needle penetration test has been developed. In this paper we present a study on the predictability of the physico-mechanical properties of pyroclastic rocks from the needle penetration index (NPI). The NPI, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), Brazilian tensile strength (BTS), density, and porosity tests were performed in the laboratory on specimens from ten different locations in Turkey. Correlations were established between the NPI values and the physico-mechanical properties. Strong correlations were observed between NPI and both UCS and BTS. General correlations were found between NPI and both density and porosity.
Energy efficiency in the South African mining sector: A case study at a coal mine in Mpumalanga
Authors: Majola C.M.D. , Langerman K.E.
Published: October 2023

Energy efficiency is a cost-effective way of both bolstering energy security and limiting the harmful effects of energy use on the environment. Mining is an inherently energy-intensive activity, and the 2008 revision of South Africa's National Energy Efficiency Strategy (NEES) set a target of a 10% reduction in energy consumption by 2015 for the mining sector. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of the NEES in improving energy efficiency in the South African coal mining sector by surveying energy intensity at a number of operations, and analysing energy efficiency trends and energy use by process and energy carrier at an underground coal mine in Mpumalanga. Most mines surveyed exhibit an increase in energy intensity over time. At the case study mine, the increase was primarily due to increased energy use in the beneficiation and discard reclaiming processes. Trends in energy consumption are a poor reflection of trends in energy intensity, as a decline in energy consumption is most easily achieved by reducing production. A more appropriate metric for energy efficiency at coal mines is energy intensity, defined as energy use per unit of saleable product, relative to a multi-year baseline. The evidence suggests that the NEES has been ineffective in promoting energy efficiency in South African coal mines. We propose that greater success could be achieved by monitoring and reporting on energy intensity at the process level, and by incentivizing energy efficiency gains.
Revenue Capacity of the EU: Taxes, Tax Sharing, and Resource Pooling
Authors: Groenendijk Nico
Published: October 2023

This article analyses the revenue capacity at the “centre” of the EU. It first outlines major elements (“segments”) of EU “federal” fiscal capacity, both on the revenue and expenditure side, as well as on- and off-budget. It provides a new typology of taxes in a multi-level setting, based on tax ownership and decision-making on tax bases and/or rates. It then enters the so-called EU budgetary galaxy and (a) analyses how the centre utilises different types of revenue capacity and (b) discusses if the so-called “own resources” have tax features. The article finds that these own resources, to a large extent, de facto constitute taxing power, that the EU significantly uses off-budget borrowing capacity (through the European Investment Bank and the European Commission) and that the EU has a variety of schemes that offer revenue capacity to the centre, through the pooling of resources (transfers, guarantees) by its member states and by third countries. The way in which a large portion of the Next Generation EU resources have been channelled into the EU budget (by means of externally assigned revenue) completes the image of a centre with fiscal capacity, rather than an entity that spends but has no true fiscal powers.
SØREN KİERKEGAARD VE ALBERT CAMUS’DA VAROLUŞSAL KABULLENİŞ/RET
Authors: KARAAĞAÇ Osman
Published: October 2023

İnsanın yaşamış olduğu en derin ve keskin düşünce ayrılığı “varoluş”a yöneliktir. Çünkü varoluşa yüklenilen anlam aynı zamanda yaşamın şeklini ve amacını da belirlemektedir. Yaşamın bir güç tarafından oluşturulması ona metafizik bir değer yüklemektedir. Bu durum insana birtakım sorumluluklar yüklemekte ve onun yaşamına metafizik bir anlam kazandırmaktadır. Varoluşsal bir sorgulamada insan, -agnostik temelli nötr bir yaklaşım bir yana- ya İlahî iradeye tabi olup yaşamını bu doğrultuda sürdürmekte ya da İlahî iradeyi reddederek bir nevi özgürlüğünü yaşama adına isyana kalkışabilmektedir. Teistik varoluşçu düşünce Tanrı olmadan yaşamın amacının anlaşılamayacağını iddia etmektedir. Ateisitik varoluşçu düşünce Tanrı’nın varlığından daha ziyade onun otoritesine karşı çıkmaktadır. Zira otorite kullanımı ortak kabul etmemektedir. Bu nedenle ya kayıtsız şartsız otorite olan Tanrı olmalıdır ya da var olmanın dışında bir seçeneği olmayan insan olmalıdır. Søren Kierkegaard ve Albert Camus varoluşçu düşüncenin her iki tarafında farklı yaklaşımlara sahip olan önemli isimlerdir. Kierkegaard yaşamı anlamlandırırken “iman/kabulleniş” duygusuna sığınırken Camus Tanrı’nın varlığını inkârdan daha ziyade “başkaldırı/ret” duygusunu öncelemektedir. İnsan ya Kierkegaard’çı bir yaklaşımla yaşamın coşkusunu tatmalı ya da Camusçu bir yaklaşımla intiharı öncelemelidir. İntihar etmediği takdirde bilinemezci bir yaşamı kabullenmelidir. Kierkegaard’ın imanı insanı Tanrı’ya muhatap ederken Camus’un başkaldırısı insanın tanrılığını ilan etmesiyle neticelenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Kierkegaard ile Camus’un varoluşa yönelik yapmış oldukları değerlendirmenin insanın yaşamına nasıl yansıdığını ve ne derece onun mutluluğuna katkı yaptığını irdelemektir. Çalışma sürecinde öncelikli olarak Kierkegaard ve Camu’nun var oluşa dair düşünceleri tespit edilmiştir. Kierkegaard’ın var oluşa dair düşüncelerin Camus’ya nispeten daha isabetli olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Predictors of Nonverbal Recognition of Emotional Facial Expressions
Authors: Zhegallo A.V. , Basiul I.A.
Published: October 2023

The work was carried out in the paradigm of analyzing the structure of erroneous responses when performing the identification of emotional facial expressions. The subjects performed the task of non-verbal recognition of facial expressions at tachistoscopic exposure time (16 ms, 8 ms, 4 ms). The search for predictors that determine the partial proportions of responses for different combinations (response, expression shown) was performed among the subscales of the Boyko empathy questionnaire, the EmIn questionnaire, the analytical-holistic scale, and the Alekseev thinking styles questionnaire. The study involved students from Moscow universities. Sample size: 49 people, 9 men, 40 women, average age m=22.2 years, sd=4.45.The identified predictors are specific (not universal) in nature, different for different combinations of the presented image and the assessment performed. We believe that this result should be interpreted as indicating the presence of competing parallel processes associated with testing for the presence of different emotional expressions. The selected system of predictors is not complete. A promising direction for further research is expanding the scope of the search for predictors through methods that measure individual personality characteristics and the level of anxiety.
Contextual Mediation of Cognitive Activity
Authors: Agafonov A.Y. , Zolotukhina A.A. , Kryukova A.P. , Burmistrov S.N.
Published: October 2023

The article presents an analysis of the effect of context in cognitive activity. Contextual influences are expressed in changes of productivity and time of problem solving under the influence of actual irrelevant information or previously formed knowledge structures. The importance of studying contextual variables stems from their fundamental role in cognitive processes. Examples of contextual mediation are the effects of dependence of perception of an object (figure) on the perceptual environment (background), priming effects, effects of awareness of multivalued information, effects of context-dependent memory, effects of contextual cues, effects of functional fixation in solving thinking tasks, etc. By analogy with types of memory it is proposed to differentiate ultra-short-term, short-term and long-term (stable) contexts. A prospect in the study of contextual influences can become the study of types and character of interaction of contexts having different characteristics. The latter include: "homogeneity/heterogeneity" of the context, "relevance/irrelevance" to the task, "power" - the integration of local contexts in a single context, "congruence/dissociation" as the correspondence/dissimilarity of different contexts to each other.
Categorization in Hybrid Search: A Study Using Eye Movement Registration
Authors: Sapronov F.A. , Makarov I.M. , Gorbunova E.S.
Published: October 2023

Categorization is the process by which objects are combined according to a certain principle, which provides more efficient and cost-effective information processing. One of the topical areas of research in this field is the study of the categorical effect in perceptual tasks, for example in the task visual search task. The present study investigated the effect of the role of category (basic or superordinate) on the time of guidance - the search for a target stimulus and verification - the time of identification of a target stimulus in a hybrid search task. Subjects had to find certain objects on the screen, which could be specified either as basic-level categories (e.g., cars) or superordinate-level categories (e.g., transport vehicles). An eye-tracking method was used to separate the entire hybrid search process into a guidance and a verification. A significant effect of category level was found on the rate of guidance, but not on the rate of verification.
Identity Authenticity and the Paradox of Resilience to Traumatic Stress
Authors: Shmarina T.A.
Published: October 2023

Research and statistics show that two-thirds of people manage to survive traumatic stress without serious or lasting mental health problems. This means that most people are resilient to traumatic stress but attempts to predict resilience based on individual personality traits are usually unsuccessful, and making accurate predictions about who will be resilient and who will not is difficult. The article considers three proposals for resolving this prognostic problem: first, abandoning consideration of stability as a personality trait in favor of stability as a process of flexible self-regulation; second, considering behavior in a model of non-linear interaction between personality and situation, postulating that human behavior is determined by personality trait parameters, situation characteristics and the outcome of their combination; and third, choosing determinants and correlates of stability, focusing on consideration of major personality traits, such as authenticity. The potential value of studying authenticity in the context of traumatic stress resilience is argued coherently: evidence for the high resource capacity of authenticity is presented; the subject concept of authenticity is proposed; similar studies from previous years are reviewed; trait authenticity and state authenticity are compared; the topic of authenticity in first responders is addressed.
Chat-Bot as a Way to Support Victims of School Bullying
Authors: Rogovets A.Yu. , Mazurkevitch A. , Suvorova I.Y. , Vinnik M. , Prikhodko A.A.
Published: October 2023

This article is devoted to an overview of the sources on therapeutic chatbots, as well as a description of the problem of creating an anti-bullying chatbot. Most chatbots work on the basis of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and are aimed at preventing depressive vessels in adults. There are no anti-bullying chatbots yet. There are at least two reasons: the exceptional situation of bullying and the legal aspects of working with teenagers. The specificity of the bullying situation is working with the patient in real life and health conditions. Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most appropriate method of dealing with victims of school transportation. The legal aspect includes the signing of a data revision resolution and the status of a minor in the conclusion of legal negotiations. The article proposes the idea of an author's chatbot, also based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychological first aid. The author's dialogue agent includes three blocks: work on emotional manifestations, psychoeducation and acute stress relief. In total, the algorithm includes five emotional channels - four dysfunctional and single-functional. The severity of emotional disturbances is measured on a five-point scale and a mood log, by detecting which you can track the effectiveness of the chatbot. A chatbot cannot implement all the functions of therapy, but it can help reduce the level of emotional stress.

Published: October 2023

Since parental reflective functioning is important for the upbringing and development of children, it attracts the attention of psychologists around the world and needs to be studied. To measure it, the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ) is worked out, which is adapted and widely used in different countries, its psychometric properties were tested and interesting results were obtained. However, this questionnaire has not been adapted in Russia yet. That is why this research is aimed at adapting PRFQ for Russian-speaking sample, to testing its factor structure and psychometric properties. Data was collected from an online survey (2022-2023). The forms were filled out by 205 parents (38% of fathers) of children aged from 1 to 13 years. For all respondents, the survey included a socio-demographic questions and the PRFQ; 99 parents additionally completed the Questionnaire of Emotional Relations in Family (E. Zakharova), the Parental Attitude Questionnaire (A. Varga & V. Stolin) and the Parental Anxiety Scale (A. Prikhozhan). Factor analysis confirmed the three-factor structure of the PRFQ. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good correspondence with the data. The internal consistency of the PRFQ scales and emotional attitude towards the child, parental attitude and parental anxiety confirm the external validity of the questionnaire. The Parental Reflexive Functioning Questionnaire is a reliable, internally consistent and valid tool. Keywords. Parent Reflective Functioning, PRF, Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, PRFQ, parental attitude.

Authors: Galasheva E.D. , Popovicheva E.S. , Talov D.T.
Published: October 2023

The paper describes the results of the adaptation of the questionnaire by Patrick J. O’Connor, Ph.D., aimed at diagnosing Mental and Physical State and Trait Energy and Fatigue (Mental and Physical State and Trait Energy and Fatigue Scales, STEF), as well as provides validity evidence of the Russian version of the tool on а sample of students. The scales allow to separately measure physical and mental aspects of energy and fatigue. 220 students aged from 18 to 25 years old took part in the questionnaire adaptation. The process of adaptation included direct and reverse translation, as well as analysis of the factor structure of the questionnaire using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Psychometric characteristics were analyzed using Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory (IRT). The CFA demonstrated that after the adaptation the original four-factor structure of the questionnaire became a three-factor one including energy, physical fatigue and mental fatigue for both scales (state and trait scales). The reliability of the questionnaire scales (Cronbach's Alpha) varies from 0.78 to 0.88. A question about races was excluded from the Russian-language version of the questionnaire due to its irrelevance for the native speakers of Russian. The conducted studies confirm the scales validity. The questionnaire can be used for young people aged from 18 to 25.

A Multi-featured Approach by Integrating Digital Hand and Dental X-Ray for Human Age Estimation
Authors: Patil Kirti A. , R. P. Bhavsar  , B. V. Pawar
Published: October 2023

Traditionally, human bone age is estimated manually by inspecting the multiple body part X-ray images, which is extremely time-consuming and prone to error. The accuracy of the human estimate depends on the experience of the medical practitioner, and thus it suffers from intra- and inter-observer variability. Hence, efficient automatic approaches are required to determine human age with high accuracy. In this work, we propose a human age estimation technique using Deep Learning (DL) technique based on hand X-ray images combined with dental orthopantomographs (OPGs) is proposed. Here, the input X-ray image is pre-processed first using Non-Local Means (NLM) first, followed by Region of Interest (RoI) extraction. Later, color and position image augmentation are performed in order to balance the dataset. Thereafter, the salient features in the image are determined, and based on these features, human age estimation is carried out using the Deep Residual Network (DRN). Here, the DRN is trained using the Beluga whale lion optimization (BWLO) algorithm. Furthermore, the BWLO_DRN is examined for its superiority considering the model accuracy and is found to obtain value of 90.1% on hand-wrist and 89.9% OPG real time dataset, thus showing superior performance for hand-wrist images.

Published: October 2023

Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease that requires an extended period of treatment for complete resolution of the infection. It can lead to chronic and severe infections, and it is more common in diabetic patients. Melioidosis is also a significant concern in India primarily because its chronic nature, potential for dissemination, extended treatment requirements, and the risk of relapse lead to its resemblance to tuberculosis. This case series included osteomyelitis patient presented in emergency with sepsis MODS, disseminated melioidosis patient with systemic involvement including spleen, kidney and lungs, skin abscess at more than one site, urosepsis, splenic abscess, Melioidotic arthritis. Many of these patients had altered blood sugar levels, and in 3 cases, individuals were even diagnosed with diabetes during their episode of melioidosis the treatment duration generally involved an 8-week course of intravenous antibiotics. However, oral medications may need to be continued for several months if necessary for complete recovery.

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease. Microorganisms, flow and composition of saliva, type of food consumed, exposure to fluoride and preventive behaviours are the criteria for the intensity of the manifestation. Dental caries are classified into various types based on parameters such as site of caries, extent, duration, progression, tissue involvement, pathway of spread, number of teeth etc. G.V Black classified dental caries based on the type of tooth affected. Class I dental caries from G.V Blacks classification is defined as caries affecting the occlusal thirds of molars, premolars, and palatal/lingual aspect of anterior teeth. The aim of this study is to find the prevalence of class I dental caries in children treated under general anaesthesia in a private dental hospital. This is a single center day retrospective study done in a hospital setting. A total of 121 patient details were collected from the hospital management system. The details of children under the age of 10 who were treated under general anaesthesia was only considered. Statistical analysis (Chi-square) was done in the latest version of SPSS software. The results showed that out of the total 121 children who were treated under general anaesthesia 42.15% of the children had class I dental caries. It was also evident that the number of three-year-old children (16.53%) who had class I dental caries were more followed by four-year-olds and two-year-olds.

Introduction: General anesthesia is used predolminantly in pediatric dentistry. However, certain concerns over evaluating physiological parameters in children after postoperative dental treatment after under-recovery of general anesthesia still remain a concern Aim: The current study aim is to evaluate the physiological parameters during postoperative treatment on children treated over general anesthesia. Materials and methods: Children under the age group of 1-12 years were included in the study. The data of physiological parameters which include, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate were taken into the study from the DIAS record and were analyzed using SPSS software. Results:

The results show that the mean value of systolic heart pressure is 74.06, diastolic blood pressure is 37.52 and the average mean pulse rate is 131. Conclusion: The study concludes that all the physiological parameters were within the normal range during recovery in children who underwent dental treatment under general anesthesia.

The nutritional value of browsing species is being affected, camel movement is being disrupted, and camel feed resources appear to be being substantially degraded by climate change and its variations. This study explores the effects of season and location on the composition of nutrients and in vitro dry matter digestibility of the main browse species utilized as camel feed. Using an ANOVA model. Lannea rivae had an average DM content of 87.23% while Acacia brevispica had a range of 95.58%. There are no statistically significant variations (p>0.05) in the ash content of browsing species, which ranges from 2.56% in Acacia mellifera to 18.66% in Grewia evolute. The CP content of Lannea rivae in Maerua triphylla ranged from 6.19% to 27.24%. During the wet season, there is a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). On the other hand, Grewia evolute's CP contents varied from 24.56% to 10.44%, showing a significant difference (p<0.05). The results showed that Acacia etabaica had an NDF content that ranged from 25.63% to 72.10% Lannea rivae. Lannea rivae had the greatest ADF content (30.53%), and Grewia tembensis had the lowest (8.20%), with the difference being statistically significant (p<0.05). Grewia villosa in Lannea rivae had an ADL content that ranged from 2.82% to 15.86%. There is a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) during the dry season. During the wet season, the NDF concentration of Maerua triphylla in Boscia mossambicensis varied from 38.33% to 62.43%. The lowest ADF content was found in Acacia etabaica (22.47%), while the highest was found in Boscia mossambicensis (42.56%). The distinction is statistically significant (p<0.001). Grewia evolute contained 2.82% to 15.86% Acacia tortilis ADL. During the dry season, Dichrostachys cinerea had the lowest cellulose concentration (3.68%), whereas Euphorbia nubica had the greatest (18.77%). The study's conclusions indicate that the location is irrelevant. NDF, ADF, and ADL fiber fractions and chemical composition (DM, Ash, and CP) did not differ substantially (P<0. 05). The effects of location and season on the chemical and fiber compositions and nutritional value of browse species for dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) are clarified by this study. To identify other variables that affect the nutritional composition of browsing species, more investigation is required.

Background: In developing countries, tuberculosis (TB) continues to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality. To reduce the loss of lives and economical burden that TB poses up on citizens, early case detection and successful treatment of infected cases are very essential mainly with active community participation in prevention and care of TB. This study was aimed to explore community participation in prevention and care of TB in Wolayta Zone of SNNPR, Ethiopia. Method: Descriptive phenomenological research methodology was employed in the study. A total 24 participants were chosen using purposive sampling technique. Participants in the study were from various sections of society. Of these, 14 were TB patients on TB treatment and former TB patients who were recovered, 8 were health professionals and 2 were Key Informants which were selected from the community to provide key information. Data were gathered through focus groups and in-depth interviews. Using the Open Code and Colaizi 7 steps of descriptive phenomenological method data analysis  was used. Interviews were audio recorded, verbatim transcribed, translated, and  exhaustive description was written. Results: Community participation in prevention and care of TB in study area was high. Preventive participation and supportive participations were identified and these participations have their own goals in TB prevention and care. Preventive participation has focused on early case finding strategies like referring the suspect cases for TB diagnosis and contact tracing. Supportive participation has focused on treatment success such physical, economical, psychological and social supports which increase the patients adherence to treatment and as result increases treatment success rate. Conclusion. Our study revealed highto moderate  community participation in tuberculosis   prevention and care in the the study area. The finding is that the TB prevention and care strategy for eliminating TB will be operationally effective. In cumulative effect, the region might be able to meet the WHO's recommendations for the community TB prevention and care plan, which call for case notification of more than 70% and an 85% success rate for treatment and all seek to eliminating TB by 2030. Therefore, the study emphasizes the necessity for effective communication to be established between community and the health institutions. To further raise TB notification and treatment success rates, all feasible methods of utilizing community participation in TB care are advised.
Transformation of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Kenyan Coastal Region: Traditional Healing, Witchcraft and Witch Hunts in a Contemporary Context
Authors: Lukaszewicz Aleksandra
Published: October 2023

The intangible heritage of Coastal Kenya pertains in great part to the Mijikenda people and consists of ceremonies, rituals, beliefs, forms of healing, prayer, and adjudication of disputes, which are subject to various cultural and religious factors that  affect their perception and transform them. The younger generation’s perception of them, influenced by modern life’s technologized approach to culture, hugely contributes to such transformations. As a result, cultural roots fall into oblivion, which sometimes has dramatic effects, for example, the abandonment of witch  hutching, paradoxically causing negative social effects. Not following traditional practices is not equal to disbelief in witches. Therefore, it often occurs that someone is accused of witchcraft to kill them without any possibility of reconciliation with the community, because the rejection of traditional practices causes the lack of any remediation for an instance of witchcraft, and elicits the easiest solution: the death of the accused. Such events happen to be combined with economic reasons, like the desire of some members of the youngest generation to sell the family land or even the sacred forest, in the care of the elders, who are then usually the ones accused as witches. This kind of cultural knot, appearing in the last 150 years due to interference of various cultures and religions, especially Christianity, requires careful consideration, also given the importance of interfaith dialogue, supported by the Coast Interfaith Council of Clerics Trust (CICC), among others. This investigation on transformation of cultural practices in Coastal Kenya is based on in-depth interviews with representatives of Malidni District Cultural Association (MADCA), field research and conversations with elders, and a review of research materials provided by the National Museums of Kenya Library in Malindi, and the Pwani University Library in Kilifi, Kenya.
