Authors: TANGULER Hasan , VAROL Zeliha Ayca , Agcam Erdal
Published: January 2024

Shalgam productions done with the addition of turnip at different rates were carried out. Volatiles and biogenic amines were determined before storage and after 6 month storage. A total of forty-six different volatiles were identified from shalgams. 7-esters, 6-higher alcohols, 5-carbonyl compounds, 3-terpenes, 4-volatile phenols and 2-volatile acids were isolated for the first time in shalgam. The results indicate that the use of turnip in different ratios has an effect on the percentage and variety of volatiles and, an increase in total acidity and biogenic amines. In addition, after storage, an increase also was determined in the amounts of putrechin, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine, spermine and total amines. In conclusion, according to the results of microbial, sensory analysis and volatile flavour compounds, it can be stated that the most appropriate amount of turnip is 1%, however, also ratios of 0.5% and 2% can be used.

The aim was to extract free phenolics using a green solvent (ethanol), and bound phenolics from glabrous canary seed hulls. The efficiency of ethanol 75% was compared with that of other solvents used in the literature (acetone 70%; methanol 80%) in terms of phenolic yield and antioxidant activity. Bound phenolics were extracted with ethyl acetate, prior to hydrolysis with NaOH 2 M. The phenolic extracts obtained were characterized according to extraction yield, total phenols, flavonoides, antioxidant activity, radical DPPH; and phenolic profile, HPLC. Methanol 80% had lower extraction yield, and acetone 70% had lower antioxidant activity; whereas ethanol 75% was the most efficient solvent to obtain free phenolics. Extraction yield of bound phenolics (6411.13 mg/100g hulls d.b.) doubled the value of free phenolics. Thus, antioxidant activity was four times higher (78.67% inhibition of radical DPPH). On the other hand, phenolic acids predominated over flavonoids compounds in a rate 26/1. Ferulic acid was the dominant (42.48 mg/100g hulls), followed by p-coumaric (39.07 mg/100g hulls). Although the use of glabrous canary seed is new, interest in its processing at industrial level makes canary seed hulls a potential waste material that could be leveraged as a source of bioactive compounds with several applications.

Thermal shock proteins (HSPs) are extremely potent molecules, having great relevance in the development of vaccines, which makes interesting the knowledge of the conditions that favor their expressions. This study proposes the investigation of the cellular behavior of the fungus Candida albicans when submitted to thermal stress, to evaluate the synthesis of HSPs. Method: The fungus strain was cultivated, and factorial experimental design was delineated, having as factors temperature (38, 46, and 55 °C), time (15, 52.5, and 90 min) and agitation. Cell mass (mg/mL) and glucose intake (mg/mL) were considered response variables. The obtained data show that there was no synthesis of HSPs below 46.5 °C, however, this was considered an optimal temperature for the expression of HSPs of 33,40 and 44 kDa. In temperatures above 47 °C, glucose consumption was reduced to 15.5 %, until it was no longer metabolized by the fungus at 55 °C, suggesting a condition of defense against thermal stress and subsequent cell death. In the contour region of the bands applied to the study, it can be considered that the Heat-shock proteins process was optimized, however, genetic factors are determinants for specific expressions of HSPs, being intrinsic characteristics of the strains under study.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Patients who are unable to maintain the level of ventilation necessary for maintaining gas exchange functions can benefit from mechanical ventilation for that Physiotherapy is key. Anterior Basal Lift (ABL) & Abdominal Co-Contraction (AC) are techniques of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) that produce reflex-respiratory movement response & improve ventilatory parameters in mechanically ventilated patients.
NEED OF STUDY: There is dearth of literature on respiratory PNF technique in mechanically ventilated patients, so this study is aimed to determine effect of AC and ABL technique in mechanically ventilated patient.
OBJECTIVE: To compare effect of Abdominal Co-Contraction and Anterior Basal Lift technique on ventilatory parameters [Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen (SPO2), Respiratory Rate (RR), Lung compliance, Heart Rate (HR), Tidal Volume] in mechanically ventilated patients.
METHODOLOGY: 30 participants were included in study and divided into 2 groups: A (ABL) & B (AC). Patients were given intervention for 3 days and pre and post outcomes were observed. Data were taken at baseline & after 3 days of intervention.
RESULTS: Data were analyzed by SPSS21 & t-test was applied. Statistically significant improvements were observed in both groups but more pronounced in group A (P<0.05) [Tidal Volume (t= 3.24), RR (t=2.16), HR (t=2.06), Lung Compliance (t=7.38), SPO2 (t=2.50)].
CONCLUSION: Anterior Basal Lift is more effective in reduction of RR & HR and improving Tidal Volume, Lung Compliance & SPO2 over Abdominal Co-Contraction in mechanically ventilated patients.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Respiratory PNF is feasible, safe & effective. This can be used as early intervention in mechanically ventilated patients.

Authors: Putri Natasha Misyelle , Yulianti Erikavitri , Handayani Samsriyaningsih
Published: January 2024

Background: One of the many factors that can complicate providing care for a person with dementia is BPSD, which affects 90% of those with the disease and appears to put more stress on caregivers. It is considerably harder to manage some BPSD types than others. When BPSD therapy is insufficient, people with dementia—especially those living in care facilities—frequently have a worse quality of life.
Objective: To understand the profile of BPSD in elderly people with dementia at UPTD Griya Werdha Jambangan Surabaya.
Method: The research was conducted through interviews with elderly people and their caregivers at UPTD Griya Werdha Jambangan Surabaya in May–June 2023, using the MoCA-Ina and NPI-NH questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed to outline the distribution of presentation and frequency for each research variable.
Results: The number of elderly people who met the criteria was 27, while the number of elderly caregivers interviewed was 4. The most common BPSD experienced by most elderly people with dementia was irritability/lability. BPSD with the highest occupational disruptiveness was agitation. Anxiety was the domain with the highest average scores. BPSD was more commonly found in women, while irritability/lability was the most common symptoms in both genders. Furthermore, irritability/lability is the most prevalent BPSD across all age groups.
Conclusion: Out of 27 elderly people with dementia, the most common BSPD was irritability/lability. In order to improve dementia treatments and to enable dementia elderly caregivers provide the best care possible for the elderly, it is suggested that more data and research—especially qualitative research—relating to dementia and BPSD in Indonesia need to be collected.

Published: January 2024

Uroscopy is the macroscopic examination of urine, and it is an important diagnostic tool in Unani medicine. The findings of uroscopy are linked with the humoral theory of medicine. Human Urine is the first fluid that was examined for medical purposes. There are seven parameters in uroscopy, each parameter is studied in detail and then the conclusion is drawn based on the findings of all. Examination of urinary sediments is one of the parameters in uroscopy. In urine, sediment is a denser and differentiable component from the watery constituent. The features of urinary sediment vary a lot in different physiological and pathological conditions of the body that are of medical importance. It is an evident fact that sediment makes up the solute component of urine, which is the waste product of hepatic digestion. One of these seven indicators that uroscopy analyses, is the inspection of urine sediment. The amount, color, homogeneity, position, and rate of sedimentation of the sediments are taken into account to ascertain the state of the body from them, and careful correlation is made with the results of other parameters.

Authors: Sultana Nasrin , Siddik Abubakar
Published: January 2024

In the optical (380-700 nm) region, a simulation study was conducted to assess the low-signal gain, power conversion efficiency (PCE), and optical output power of a praseodymium-doped fiber optic amplifier (PDFA). The PDFA performance was assessed using the optimized Pr3+ fiber length, Pr3+ ion concentration, and pump power. Additionally, the effects of input signal voltage and amplifier gain on amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) were investigated. A lower peak signal of roughly 1 dB at 635 nm was obtained with a shorter 5 m Pr3 + doped fiber and a higher pump power of 300 mW. The impact of wavelength and pump power variations on the amplifier's optical output power's spontaneous enhanced emission (EEM) is examined. Finally, the ionic interaction (general-purpose conversion effect) in the low-power amplifier signal is analyzed by taking into account various values of the upconversion factor.

Published: January 2024

Libraries have undergone significant changes thanks to cloud computing. It makes it possible for libraries to handle information more effectively and cost-effectively and to store, deliver, and store it more efficiently. Libraries can digitize their holdings using cloud-based solutions, making them available to a larger audience even outside of their physical locations. As a result, knowledge becomes more accessible to all people, and educational materials are made more widely available. Due to the scalable, on-demand resources provided by cloud computing, library operations are also streamlined. This implies that libraries don't need to make major infrastructure investments to adapt their computing, storage, and software requirements as they change. Cloud-based library software also makes it easier for institutions to collaborate and share resources. Patrons may access a multitude of resources from various sources, and librarians can collaborate easily. But before adopting the cloud, libraries need to think about data security and privacy concerns. Planning properly and following data protection laws are crucial. In conclusion, cloud computing enables libraries to transform for the digital era, presenting fresh possibilities for resource accessibility, effectiveness, and cooperation while highlighting the significance of protecting user data.

Building design is a complex process that involves a careful consideration of various factors to ensure the safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of the structure. One of the key aspects of this process is the selection and integration of structural components. These components form the backbone of a building, providing support, stability, and durability. In this chapter, we will explore the fundamental structural components commonly used in building design and their crucial roles in ensuring the integrity of a structure. In construction, the framework and skeleton of any building are essential for its stability and support.

A door is a movable barrier or panel installed within a building to provide entry, exit, or separation between spaces. It functions as an opening and closing mechanism that allows movement between rooms or between the interior and exterior of a structure. Doors serve various purposes, including privacy, security, controlling the flow of people and air, noise reduction, and temperature regulation. While doors are integral components for providing access and partitioning spaces within a building, they do not bear any significant structural load. They are not designed to support the building's weight or structural integrity but rather serve functional and practical purposes for occupants. Doors are typically installed within load-bearing walls or partitions, and their design, material, and style contribute to the aesthetics and usability of the building without affecting its structural stability.

Sustainable Design Practices in Interior Design are pivotal in mitigating environmental impact while fostering economic and social advantages. With global concern escalating over climate change, the emphasis on sustainability has intensified, aiming to curtail carbon footprints and adverse environmental repercussions. Buildings and construction constitute nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, significantly impacting climate, biodiversity, and the environment. Sustainable design within this realm entails crafting buildings, cities, and infrastructure to mitigate these effects while fostering healthy, secure, and comfortable spaces for their occupants. The overarching goal is to fashion spaces that contribute positively to the climate, environment, and society at large.
FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS

According to Smardzewski, 2015 at the start of human history, when the notion of furniture was unknown, man employed diverse items generated spontaneously by nature in a natural fashion, driven only by the desire to make life simpler. A wind-felled tree trunk or a flat stone block functioned as a seat, a flat stone block served as a basis for completing a range of routine tasks, and soft moss or woolen skins served as a bed. Artifacts began to be created over time as a consequence of human creativity, replacing the previously described spontaneously created items. Their shapes varied over the years as a result of the preferences of the cultures that existed at the time. New forms of furniture were developed to perform certain purposes such as sitting, lying down, working, dining, storing, and so on. The very first move towards established living was achieved when prehistoric man began to build a dwelling to fulfill his requirements. The emergence of individual family units resulted in the formation of private furniture in one's own home, but the genesis of furniture of any kind began with communal furniture, similar to the way families had started in tribes. The usage of furniture signified that people desired to dwell permanently in one location, and the sort of furniture they chose represented the type of life they desired. Our individual needs have led to the many sorts of furniture we have in our houses today. These needs may be essentially categorized as a place to sit down, a place to lie down, a place to work and eat, and a place to keep their belongings. (Gandotra et al., 2010)
KITCHEN ERGONOMICS
Authors: DINESH Dr. SAPNA
Published: January 2024

The English term, “Kitchen” is derived from a Latin word, “coquere,” which means to cook. Kitchens have evolved from simple fire pits to complex spaces for food preparation and storage. Originally, kitchens were not much more than pits with fire used for cooking the food. Ancient Chinese archaeological finds suggest pigsties were located close to the food preparation area, probably for convenience. Food items were often stored in bags made from the skins of animals, gourds, or woven baskets. There were no refrigerators or even iceboxes. The very first hearths were made out of clay or stone. One of the main purposes of the hearth was to contain the fire while cooking. The risk of fire was always high. Many times, the hearth completely encircled the fire to help keep it from spreading to the home.

These strategies had two drawbacks: they were time-consuming and usually incorrect. Software in interior design examines the entire design before project implementation.
Qualification of a crime jointly committed with a criminally unliaible person

The subject. The qualification’s problem of a crime jointly committed by two or more people, only one of whom is criminally liable, is ambiguously resolved. It is shown that there is a case law tendency to bring into the scope of criminal liability all of people, who have participated in committing a crime together, as accomplices and co-perpetrators. However, it does not correspond to the main theory of complicity, according to which a group of perpetrators being a form of complicity consists exclusively of criminally liable offenders. And, moreover, there is a plenty of sentences, in which courts confirm that a criminally unliaible person is not able to be one of accomplices and co-perpetrators, as a consequence another offender is individually responsible for committing a crime.

The goal of the study is to determine whether joint commission of a crime by two or more people, only one of whom is criminally liable, constitutes complicity and a group of perpetrators. General (analysis, synthesis) and private scientific (formal-dogmatic, historical-legal) methods are used to achieve the goal.

The main results. In case law qualification of joint commission of a crime by two or more people, only one of whom is criminally liable, has gone through several stages in its development and directly depended on a type of the crime. Regional case law often does not coincide with the position of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. There are three main theories in criminal law science, according to which joint commission of a crime by some people, only one of whom is criminally liable: (a) forms both complicity and a group; (b) does not form either complicity or a group; (c) forms a group without signs of complicity.

Conclusion. Joint commission of a crime by two or more people, only one of whom is criminally liable, constitutes a group of perpetrators without signs of complicity. The interpretation dividing complicity and a group of perpetrators into two different institutions allows to take into account a group way of committing a crime as a feature of the objective side and define criminally liable offenders.
Early termination of a judge's powers as a measure of legal responsibility: problems of legal regulation and law enforcement
Authors: Glazunova I. V. , Nikitina A. V.
Published: January 2024

The subject of the study is the theoretical, legislative and practical application problems of the early termination of a judge as a measure of legal responsibility. According to the authors' opinion there are several problems: the lack of scientific and legislative unity on the issue of the sectoral nature of this measure; the unsystematic, uncoordinated nature of legislation and law enforcement practice; the apparent discrepancy of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the Status of Judges in the Russian Federation” (hereinafter - the Status of Judges) which regulates the grounds and procedure for the early termination of the powers of a judge and the practice of its application to the fundamental principles of legal responsibility.

The aim of this article is to make recommendations aimed at improving the legal regulation and practice of such a legal liability measure as early termination of the power of the judge.

The methodology. The main method of research is the general scientific dialectical method of cognition, using universal scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, formal-logical and systemic. The specific scientific methods are applied: the formal legal method, the methods of legal modelling and the methods of forecasting.

Main results and field of application. The authors concluded that the early termination of a power of judge, for whatever reason, is related to his or her illegal behaviour. It should be explicitly recognized as a measure of legal responsibility in the Status of Judges. It is necessary that the legal grounds for judge early termination meet the requirements of legal certainty. The application of this measure is based on the fundamental principles of legal responsibility: justice, humanism, legal equality, proportionality of the sanction to the degree of social danger of the act committed, individualization of the punishment, etc. The Status of Judges and the Regulation on the functioning of the qualification collegium of Judges should be supplemented by legal provisions governing the procedure for applying to a judge early termination as a measure of legal liability that does not involve the commission of a disciplinary offence. A fair, public and adversarial procedure must be used to ensure that judges in the high and medium courts can terminated early. The rules for this procedure must be laid down in federal constitutional law.

Conclusions. The implementation of such proposals would lead to the formation of legislation and the law enforcement practice, consistent with the main principles of legal responsibility and the basic provisions of its theory. It would guarantee the fairness and predictability of decisions towards judges. Ultimately it would ensure an appropriate balance between the independence of judges and their accountability for gross and systematic violations incompatible with the status of judges.
