Published: August 2024

Sebagian besar penduduk Indonesia bergantung pada pertanian sebagai sumber pangan, ketersediaan air irigasi dari suatu bendung dapat mempengaruhi tingkat keberhasilan sektor pertanian serta menentukan tingkat ekonomi nasional. Bendung Baran mengairi daerah irigasi (D.I) dengan luas area 179 ha. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sistem operasi Bendung Baran terhadap ketersediaan air dan kebutuhan air irigasi. Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode FJ.Mock untuk menghitung ketersediaan air, metode KP-01 untuk menghitung kebutuhan air irigasi, dan metode imbangan air untuk menghitung simulasi operasi. Data hujan yang digunakan adalah Stasiun Waduk Cengklik selama 10 tahun (2013-2022), data klimatologi, data teknis Bendung Baran, dan skema/layout jaringan irigasi. Hasil perhitungan ketersediaan air mampu melayani kebutuhan air irigasi dengan debit bulanan rerata sebesar 2,73 m3/detik, dimana debit terbesar dibulan Januari sebesar 5,495 m3/detik dan debit terendah dibulan Agustus sebesar 0,93 m3/detik. Hasil perhitungan kebutuhan air irigasi menunjukkan debit rerata bulanan sebesar 0,44 m3/detik, dimana debit terbesar diperoleh sebesar 0,60 m3/detik pada periode kedua bulan Juni dan debit terendah diperoleh sebesar 0,21 m3/detik yaitu pada periode pertama bulan Maret. Hasil perhitungan simulasi operasi Bendung Baran menunjukkan ketersedian air dan kebutuhan air irigasi pada masa tanam padi tidak memenuhi pada bulan Juli dan Agustus. Hal ini dikarenakan minimnya curah hujan, terdapat beberapa jaringan irigasi yang rusak, dan adanya penimbunan sampah, sehingga hasil perhitungan perubahan volume tampungan ditambah dengan volume tampungan awal Bendung Baran berada dibawah tampungan minimum Bendung Baran.

Published: August 2024

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) adalah jenis beton yang memiliki kemampuan untuk mengalir dan memadat sendiri tanpa menggunakan bantuan vibrator. Beton SCC memerlukan pengaturan agregat, proporsi agregat, dan zat admixture superplastiziser agar didapatkan kekentalan yang sesuai tanpa menggunakan bantuan vibrator. Pada kebanyakan kasus bahan pokok campuran beton meliputi agregat kasar, agregat halus, semen, dan air. Namun, dalam beberapa situasi tertentu, sifat campuran beton dapat dipengaruhi oleh admixture dan bahan tambah lainnya, seperti superplasticizer dan bahan tambah lainnya silica fume. Dalam penelitian ini, silica fume digunakan sebagai bahan tambah pada beton SCC yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kuat tekan silica fume terhadap campuran beton SCC. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menambah silica fume dengan persentase 0%, 5%, dan 10% dari berat semen serta superplasticizer dengan persentase 0.5% dari berat semen. Metode rancangan campuran menggunakan metode ACI (American Concrete Institute) dengan kuat tekan rencana 41 MPa diuji kuat tekan pada umur 7, 14, dan 28 hari. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kuat tekan dengan variasi beton normal  memiliki kuat tekan rata – rata 39.90 MPa pada umur 28 hari. Tetapi, nilai kuat tekan dengan variasi silica fume 5% mengalami penurunan yang signifikan mencapai 30,72 MPa pada umur 28 hari. Nilai kuat tekan dengan variasi silica fume 10% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan variasi sebelumnya, rata – rata 36,185 MPa. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penambahan silica fume terhadap beton Self Compacting Concrete dapat menyebabkan nilai kuat tekan beton menurun.

Contributing factors to staff turnover in local authorities in Zambia: A case study of Ndola city council.
Authors: - Daniel Chulu
Published: August 2024

Introduction
Ndola is the third largest city in terms of infrastructure development and second largest in terms of size and population in Zambia. The city has a population of over 475,194 (Central Statistics Office, 2010). The city is one of the most developed commercial and industrial areas in the nation, alongside Kitwe and Lusaka. The city council is a utility institution composed of an elected Mayor and his councilors that are charged with the responsibility of planning and coordinating development in the area in line with the national decentralization policy; and also the administrators who are under the Town clerk and are employed through the local government service commission of Zambia. Employee turnover in the Local Authorities in Zambia in the last ten years has received wide consideration among academicians, professionals and also members of the community that seek services from their Councils. Attention has been on comprehending the sources of employee turnover, while a few organizations have tried to comprehend what makes employees leave their place of work. Only a few Local Authorities in the country have invested in solving the problem of employee turnover.
This study was carried out to assess factors that contribute to staff turnover in local authorities in Zambia, particularly, Ndola City Council. The objectives of the study were ; To find out how remuneration affects employee turnover in local authorities in Ndola city council. To determine the extent to which staff motivation affects turnover at the Ndola city council. To establish the extent to which staff opportunities for career progression affect employee turnover in Local authorities in Ndola city council. The study showed that the factors that contribute to staff turnover have not been fully understood by all stakeholders. Those that attributed staff turnover to salary inconsistencies said that the revenue base of the councils was marred with corruption and abuse of resources by the revenue collectors. Lack of accountability has resulted in the resulted in resources being misused and in the end the average council worker suffers (Magner et al, 1996). The views of those opposed to the inconsistency of salaries as a reason for staff turnover are that what has caused departure of people is owed to the policy of career progression where every employee has to have a minimum qualification of a degree. As a result, after years of study most employees often rush to find greener pastures.

Published: August 2024

Precise measurement of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in dosage forms is crucial in the pharmaceutical business to guarantee the quality, effectiveness, and safety of the product. This research is focused on creating and confirming analytical techniques for accurately measuring the amount of antiulcer medicines in different types of medication. The measurement of antiulcer medicines in their respective formulations was carried out using two analytical techniques: UV-Visible spectroscopy and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). UV-Visible spectroscopy is a straightforward and cost-effective method that allows for quick examination. It is particularly useful for regular quality control applications. HPLC, in contrast, offers exceptional sensitivity, specificity, and precision, facilitating the isolation and measurement of many constituents in complex matrices. The technique development procedure included optimizing experimental parameters, including solvent systems, detection wavelengths, column types, mobile phase composition, and flow rates. The reliability and robustness of the suggested procedures were ensured by validation studies done in accordance with ICH recommendations. The adequacy of the procedures for their intended purpose was assessed by evaluating parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, and robustness. The UV-Visible and HPLC techniques that were developed showed exceptional linearity over the examined concentration range, with correlation values (R²) above 0.99. The precision experiments showed low relative standard deviations (RSDs), suggesting excellent repeatability and moderate accuracy. The accuracy checks demonstrated that the recovery values were within acceptable ranges, therefore verifying the dependability of the methodologies used for quantitative analysis.

Materials and Methods: This is a quantitative type of cross sectional survey study where 60 samples were assigned purposively from in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Enam Medical College Hospital, BRB Medical College Hospital. The self-modified a questionnaire was used for the study.
Statistical analysis: Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistical analysis (SPSS= Statistics package for social science) method.
Results: On average, most of the participants 67% (40) are males and 33% (20) are females. The maximum number participants, 82% (49) in the age range (23-34) years. The researcher has showed the area of specialty of the respondents according to the inclusion criteria. In the study 11.7% (7) participants are gastroenterologist, 10% (6) are orthodontist, 16.7% (10) are ENT, 41.7% (25) are medicine specialist and 20% (12) are neurologist. Maximum number of participants working station 46% (28) are in Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The duration of the study of the respondents on dysphagia out of the 60 respondents 30 studied for 2-3 hours. The respondents first encounter a patient with dysphagia. 46.7% (28) have seen in the period of 2012-2016. The frequency of the participants dealing with a patient having dysphagia the responses were categorized 46.7% (28) responded sometimes. The participants understand the role of SLT on diagnosing and managing dysphagia 52% (31) responded with yes. Conclusions: Dysphagia has emerged as a common complication due to stroke. More than 50% persons are affected by dysphagia after stroke (Smithard et al., 2007). This study consisted with medical practitioner from neurology, medicine, ENT, orthodontics and gastroenterology department. Both specialist and interns were part of this study. The referral level to SLT is also not satisfactory. Among 60 participants only 11 refer to SLT whereas 49 never or seldom refer to SLT. This showcases the lack of awareness on the role of SLT in diagnosing and managing of dysphagia. So, the proper collaboration of medical practitioner and SLT should be made so that the patient can get a proper treatment that will improve their condition.
Covering the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar: Football and (New) Cultural Politics
Authors: - Bouchra BADAOUI
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the multifaceted cultural dynamics surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with a specific focus on the Moroccan national football team. The narrative unfolds through the lenses of media and crowd behavior theories, revealing the complex interplay of global and local forces. As Western media engages in controversial representations rooted in Orientalism, the paper examines the contrasting celebration of the Moroccan team by Arabo-Islamic supporters. It delves into the culture wars triggered by biased coverage, epitomized by moments of ridicule for the team's expressions of Islamic identity. The study extends to the diasporic experience of Moroccan footballers, exemplified by the "both/and" logic that defines their global identity. Through the lens of key football players like Achraf Hakimi and Ziyech, the paper sheds light on the intricate relationship between football, migration, and the construction of cultural identities.

Authors: - Anandalakshmi Ponnaluri
Published: August 2024

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is probably the most high-profile of all surgical enterprises. At the same time, it is an amazing act of altruism. As the demand for LT continues to increase, LDLT provides life-saving therapy for many patients who would otherwise die awaiting a cadaveric organ. As long as the donor shortage continues to increase, LDLT will play an important role in the future of LT. Today, liver transplantation (LT) represents the treatment of choice for end-stage liver disease and represents the culmination of a long history of innovations made by liver surgeons based on hemorrhage control, appreciating the occurrence of regeneration and understanding the liver anatomy. In the past few years, a number of centers with significant laparoscopic and living donor experience have reported fully minimally invasive approach to hemi-hepatectomies. It has invaluable potential to alleviate the vast gap between supply and demand of hepatic allografts, even though its advantages such as shorter hospital stay and faster return to normal life could attract additional living donors, safety for donors is still being questioned and investigated due to its relatively recent development.

Published: August 2024

Background: It is evidently known that a high-fat and high-sodium dietary pattern and a sedentary lifestyle are one of many major risk factors to metabolic syndrome. However, people often overlook the association between rice-based dietary patterns and high BMI. In many Asian countries, as such in Malaysia, where their daily dietary pattern involves rice-based meals, the prevalence of obesity among adults has increased significantly over the past years. Thus, it is of our concern to investigate the association between rice-based dietary pattern and high BMI.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to study the association between rice-based and rice-dominant dietary patterns and high BMI among the adults in the University of Cyberjaya.
Methodology: 180 participants, comprised of staff and students of University of Cyberjaya aged 18-65 years old were recruited through convenience sampling method. Microsoft forms and physical form questionnaire hand-outs were used to collect and organise the data. Descriptive statistical methods and chi-square were done for data analysis.
Results: No significant association between rice-based dietary pattern and high BMI (P=0.349) found. However, it was observed that rice-dominant dietary pattern had a strong association with high BMI (P=0.006).
Conclusion: While incorporation of rice in daily diet was not significantly associated with risk of high BMI, consuming rice dominantly as part of daily dietary pattern was strongly associated with overweight and obesity among the study population.

Trace element geochemistry of carbonatites and associated alkaline rocks of Mundwara Igneous complex, Sirohi district, Rajasthan, India
Authors: - Sonal Bhatt , - Banashree Khan
Published: August 2024

Carbonatites are widely recognized for their potential to host significant deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) and other rare metals. These igneous rocks, characterized by their high carbonate mineral content, are often rich in REEs, niobium, tantalum, and other valuable elements. This makes carbonatites key targets for mining and exploration. Carbonatites are believed to form from either primary carbonate magma derived directly from the mantle or from secondary melts. These secondary melts can originate from carbonated silicate magmas through liquid immiscibility or from the residual melts resulting from the fractional crystallization of silicate magmas. The coexistence of carbonatites and alkaline silicate rocks in most complexes, their coeval emplacement in many, and overlapping initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios supports the theory of their cogenesis. In this study, we aim to investigate the trace element geochemistry of carbonatites and coeval alkaline silicate rocks from the Mundwara Igneous Complex, Sirohi district, Rajasthan in India.

Published: August 2024

Since the late 2010s, prolonged inflation has remained a persistent issue in Argentina's economy, the highest in the G20. This research investigates the multifaceted causes of Argentina's inflationary crisis, focusing on the structural deficiencies within its economy, the impact of historical and contemporary policies, and the effectiveness of monetary interventions. The study reveals that decades of inward-looking policies, particularly import substitution industrialization, have created inefficiencies and limited Argentina's global trade participation. Additionally, political forces and regulatory inefficiencies have further destabilized the economy. The findings suggest that raising interest rates alone is insufficient to address the inflation crisis, highlighting the need for comprehensive fiscal and structural reforms.
