The use of rear spoilers on MPV vehicles is often used by the public to get an aerodynamic vehicle body design. The understanding of the function of using rear spoiler accessories in the community is still low, so it is necessary to study the characteristics of air flow in aerodynamics. This study aims to determine the flow characteristics of MPV type vehicles with standard and longer rear spoiler installation. This research was conducted in a Subsonic Open Circuit wind tunnel with test section dimensions (365 x 365 x 1250) mm. The flow characteristics were observed experimentally that passed through the model surface resembling the first generation Toyota Avanza MPV with a ratio of 1:20 with variations of the standard and longer rear spoiler installation. Measurement of the flow velocity profile behind the vehicle test model was carried out at an X/L ratio of 0.32 from the leading edge with a speed adjusted to the Reynolds number value of 1.96 x 105. The flow characteristic observed was the pressure distribution (Cp) on the center line of the top surface. and under the test vehicle model, the flow momentum deficit behind the test vehicle model, the lift pressure coefficient (CLP), and the drag pressure coefficient (CDP). The results of data collection show that the installation of a standard and longer rear spoiler relatively increases the Cp value, the flow momentum deficit behind the vehicle model, the lift pressure coefficient (CLP) value and decreases the drag pressure coefficient (CDP) value. The biggest increase was in the installation of a longer rear spoiler with an increase in the Cp value of 4.7%, an increase in the flow momentum deficit by 1.27%, an increase in the CLP value by 0.11% and a decrease in the CDP value by 0.06% compared to the vehicle model without using a rear spoiler.

Image fusion can be widely explained as merging more than one photograph or a few in their factors right into a single photo without the creation of distortion or lack of information. Image fusion pastimes mix complementary as properly as approximate statistics for greater than one photograph to create fused photo output. Hence, the output picture achieved must have to include an extra accurate representation of the position than any of the man or woman supply pix and is greater fantastic for human visible, and pc understanding or in addition picture processing and comparison duties. . The notably used fusion rule is the most willpower scheme. This handy scheme chooses the biggest absolute wavelet coefficient at each location from the given snapshots because of the coefficient on the area within the fused photo. After that, the fused photo is obtained with the aid of using the inverse DWT for the corresponding wavelet coefficient. The well-known significantly used pixel-primarily based fusion rule is the aforementioned maximum favored scheme. This approach can choose the salient elements from the furnished photographs; however, it's miles touchy with noise and artifacts as they have been supposed to have better contrast. When the 2 photographs are degraded with the aid of using the wavelet transform, the approximation picture (low–frequency band) and thing image (high-frequency band) may additionally have one-of-a-type bodily meaning. In this project, a new fusion rule is proposed to feature a wavelet coefficient that treats low-frequency and high-frequency bands with high-quality fusion schemes.

Published: June 2022

The silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is the most harmful pest for vegetables in tropical zones. One alternative for its ecological management is the use of repellent aromatic plants. The hypothesis of this study is that the aromatic plants that diminish the attraction of B. tabaci to tomato have the capacity to prevent the infestation of this pest in the tomato crop when an intercropping system of tomato-aromatic plant is established. The objective of this study was to evaluate by means of the technique of olfactometry, the response of B. tabaci to the volatiles emitted by the crushed leaves of tomato and by the combination tomato + aromatic plant. The aromatic plants with highest activity in the olfactometry tests were intercropped in a tomato crop in the field. In the bioassays of olfactometry, a significant decrease was observed in the attraction of B. tabaci to crushed leaves of tomato + some aromatic plants compared with the attraction to tomato alone. The repellence indices (IR) showed that the aromatics Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (IR, 0.1), Petiveria alliacea L. (IR, 0.48), Petroselinum crispum Mill. (IR, 0.28) and Thymus vulgaris (IR, 0.5) had the greatest effect as repellent of adults. By integrating these aromatic species through intercropping in the tomato field crop, no significant difference was observed in the population density of eggs and adults of B. tabaci in the tomato foliage in regard to what was observed in the control (only tomato). The incidence and severity of viral symptoms did not decrease from the presence of the aromatic species intercropped in the tomato crop.

Published: June 2022

Indian dahi, its history of origin, uses and benefits are reviewed. Studies were undertaken to observe effects of fermented milk in control of diarrhoea in children. India with high prevalence and severity of malnutrition, overpopulation and mainly vegetarian society are in need to develop protein sources with richness of minerals and vitamins; thus dahi (made with- lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus) and other vegetable source Berseem leaves (Trifolium Alexandrium) were studied in children patients suffering from protein energy malnutrition needing hospitalization, for acceptability and improvement in health i.e. appetite, weight gain, increase in haemoglobin. Study patients had clinical or laboratory evidence of infection, but only 32% patients were CRP positive (blunted response). The T cell lymphocytes CD3, CD4 and CD8 were in normal range and supplementation did not alter the counts. The baseline cytokine levels (TNFα, IFNγ, IL-10 and IL-4) were high in malnourished children. On feeding dahi and LPC diets the serum proinflammatory (TNFα, IFNγ), and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokine levels, increased. The increase in IL-10 was higher in children receiving dahi diet. On comparing dahi diet against milk diet IL-1, IL-6 levels increased significantly on day 15th and at 6 weeks (p<0.001), in both the groups. However, IL-10 showed rise on day 15th and 6 weeks on dahi diet, in contrast milk diet patients showed fall on 15th day with subsequent rise at 6 weeks. The mean initial absolute lymphocyte counts were 3707±1551 and 4553±1776/ µl on dahi and milk diets, after 6weeks of treatment the corresponding values increased to 6312±1937 and 3493±1418 µl, respectively, (p=0.004). Similar, trend was observed for CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+ and CD56+ cells in two treatment groups. These observations demonstrate that dahi has immunonutrient properties.

Authors:   St. Catherine Specialty Hospital, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia, Pavelic Eduard
Published: June 2022

Mesenchymal stem cells have a proven potent immunomodulatory effect both in vitro and in vivo. We report a case of a 67-year-old male patient, first diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2005, that responded well clinically and biologically to ImmunoARTTM (developed by Educell Ltd.) allogenic, HLA-incompatible, and non-related bone marrow-derived MSCs in a dose of 106/kg. The patient presented to St. Catherine Specialty Hospital in 2021 with an exacerbation of respiratory symptoms. After a clinical and radiological examination with laboratory workup, radiological findings were consistent with pulmonary sarcoidosis, while laboratory work revealed increased leucocytes at 14.2 g/L, CRP at 51.2 mg/L, and lymphocytes at 4.25 g/L. The patient was then administered intravenous application of MSCs on three occasions in the out-patient clinic. MSC doses were prepared from a young, healthy donor who agreed to donate bone marrow for allogeneic treatment and who was negative for viral markers (HBs Ag, HBc Ab, HCV Ab, HIV 1-2 Ab, TPHA, HBV NAT, HCV NAT, HIV NAT) according to EU legislation. Cells were prepared in a controlled and verified laboratory for “Hospital exemption” cell preparation in the cleanroom facility in safety cabinet class A and expressed CD105, CD 73, and CD 90 but lacked the expression of CD45 and CD34. Before the treatment, standard print and detailed verbal information were provided to patients undergoing treatment. Immediately after the informed consent form (ICF) was signed by the patient. Throughout MSC therapy, the patient showed an improvement clinically and biologically with a decrease in inflammatory parameters. Laboratory values were assessed on days 2, 5, and 7. On day 7, leucocytes were 11.2 g/L, CRP 5.1 mg/L, and lymphocytes 4.0 g/L. In the follow-up period, the patient felt subjectively better, without any side effects of the MSC therapy. Unfortunately, the patient dropped out from follow-up, therefore, the prolonged effects of this therapy were not able to be assessed. Therefore, systemic MSC therapy presents an opportunity to treat sarcoidosis that needs to be further researched.

Published: June 2022

The China-Taiwan conflict has again caught the world's attention. This is marked by increased Chinese military activity in Taiwan's airspace, which is claimed as an effort to maintain stability. On the other hand, Taiwan vehemently rejects China's actions and considers such actions a violation of its sovereignty. The tensions between China and Taiwan, as well as the tendency of the United States (US) deportment towards the situation, are caused by Taiwan having an important role in the region. The US also has good interests with Taiwan as well as the Region and then paid attention to the conflict between China-Taiwan. The attitude shown by the US in the midst of the China-Taiwan tempest is of course within the framework of its rivalry with China in the region. The most important thing for countries in the region is that the China-Taiwan conflict does not develop into an open conflict, because this can have an impact on regional security.

Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is one of the flagship programs of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia which is expected to be able to reduce poverty in all regions of the Republic of Indonesia. This program was launched by the Central government starting in 2007. Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is expected to be a solution to poverty alleviation because so far the aid program in the past years was considered ineffective. PKH assistance in addition to providing food assistance also seeks to develop the ability of families to solve existing problems. The number of Implementing Resources for the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) in Lumajang Regency compared to the number of KPM PKH that must be accompanied is still far from sufficient. Therefore, more efforts and breakthroughs are needed to solve the problems that exist in the field. The human resource facilities and infrastructure for implementing Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) in Lumajang Regency are also still very limited. Integration, synchronization and collaboration with all parties are needed so that program implementation is carried out as well as possible in accordance with predetermined objectives.

Published: June 2022

Penyelesaian perselisihan hubungan industrial menurut Undang-undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2004 tentang Penyelesaian Perselisihan Hubungan Industrial dibagi dalam dua cara. Yang pertama penyelesaian perselisihan di luar pengadilan dan yang kedua penyelesaian perselisihan di pengadilan. Penyelesaian perselisihan di luar pengadilan menggunakan pendekatan musyawarah sedangkan penyelesaian perselisihan di pengadilan menggunakan pendekatan hukum. Penyelesaian perselisihan di pengadilan harus dilakukan setelah penyelesaian perselisihan di luar pengadilan gagal mencapai kesepakatan. Undang-undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2004 tidak mengatur penyelesaian perselisihan di pengadilan melalui musyawarah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan solusi apabila pekerja dan pengusaha tetap ingin menyelesaikan perselisihan melalui musyawarah ketika proses sudah sampai di pengadilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan hukum sekunder. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa pekerja dan pengusaha dapat menyelesaikan perselisihan melalui musyawarah meskipun perselisihan tersebut sudah di pengadilan jika dalam musyawarah tersebut para pihak dapat mencapai kesepakatan maka kesepakatan tersebut harus buat dalam Akta Perdamaian (Acte Van Dading). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pekerja dan pengusaha masih dapat menyelesaikan perselisihan melalui musyawarah meskipun perselisihan tersebut sudah di pengadilan.

Dalam rangka menyongsong bonus demografi di Indonesia, penting bagi pemerintah untuk memaksimalkan tingkat penyerapan usia muda dalam pasar tenaga kerja. Untuk itu, analisis terkait usia muda dalam pasar tenaga kerja menjadi perlu untuk dilakukan. Statistik Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) dapat mengakomodir analisis terkait usia muda dalam pasar tenaga kerja. Dibandingkan dengan statistik pengangguran, statistik NEET mampu menyajikan analisis terkait usia muda secara lebih menyeluruh. Di Indonesia, angka NEET cenderung tinggi dan stagnan di atas angka dua puluh persen. Namun, analisis terkait NEET di Indonesia belum banyak dilakukan. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan analisis dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Unit analisis dalam penelitian ini adalah individu berumur 15-24 tahun dengan cakupan wilayah seluruh Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder berbentuk raw data, yakni data Sakernas Agustus 2017. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode regresi logistik biner. Pada penelitian ini, dihasilkan bahwa variabel interaksi antara jenis kelamin dan status kawin, variabel interaksi antara status kawin dan umur, variabel pendidikan orang tua, dan variabel disabilitas berpengaruh terhadap status NEET pada usia muda di Indonesia.

Powerlifting competition is comprised of three barbell lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift that are all completed in a single day and summed together, ultimately normalized to the lifter’s body weight via the Wilks Coefficient. This figure is then subsequently employed to determine the “best” athlete in that meet. During the competition preparation, powerlifters often undergo peaking protocols which include physiologically taxing overreach and low-volume, recovery-focused taper phases to collectively induce super-compensatory strength adaptations. Heart rate variability (HRV) has emerged as an easily accessible, user-friendly biomarker for autonomic nervous system-associated fatigue and readiness. Therefore, the purpose of this observational study was to investigate the potential impact of a peaking protocol on fatigue/readiness via HRV measurements and its possible relationship with competitive powerlifting performance. Daily measurements of HRV were taken, each morning, using the HRV4Trainning smartphone application by nineteen competitive powerlifters (26.16±4.56 years) from 14-days prior to a peaking protocol, throughout individual peaking phases, on meet day, and 14-days following competition. A quadratic regression was used to determine the predictability of HRV measurements and powerlifting performance. The change in HRV from competition day to baseline was found to be a significant predictor of Wilks coefficient (p=0.038,

Bu araştırmada akademisyenlerin STEM eğitimine yönelik inançlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, dört farklı üniversitenin eğitim fakültesi fen bilgisi eğitimi anabilim dalında görev yapan altı akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri görüşme tekniği ile toplanmış olup veri toplama aracı olarak, davranışsal, normatif ve kontrol inançlarını belirlemeye yönelik soruların yer aldığı yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre akademisyenler, STEM uygulamalarının avantajlarına yönelik, öğrencilerin yaşam becerilerini geliştirdiği, etkili öğrenmelerini sağladığı, ilgilerini çektiği, mesleki tecrübelerini, akademik başarılarını ve motivasyonlarını artırdığı, problem çözme, karar verme, tasarım odaklı düşünme ve yaratıcılık becerilerini geliştirdiği şeklinde davranışsal inanca sahiptirler. Akademisyenlerin STEM uygulamalarının dezavantajlarına yönelik davranışsal inançları, STEM uygulamalarının çok zaman gerektirdiği, materyal fiyatlarının yüksek ve bütçenin yetersiz olduğu, STEM uygulamalarının bazı ders konularına uygun olmadığı ve kalabalık sınıflarda uygulamanın zor olduğu şeklindedir. Akademisyenler, diğer meslektaşlarının ve üniversitelerin, STEM uygulamalarına yönelik hem destek hem de engel oluşturabileceği şeklinde normatif inançlara sahiptirler. Akademisyenler, kontrol inançlarına ilişkin görüşlerinde kolaylaştırıcı durum olarak en çok basit malzemeler ile STEM uygulamalarının yapılabildiğini vurgulamıştır. Akademisyenlerin STEM uygulamalarının zorluklarına yönelik inançları, STEM aktiviteleri için ayrılan bütçenin sınırlı olması, ders için ayrılan sürenin kısıtlı olması, düşük bilgi seviyesi ve yetersiz işbirliği şeklindedir. Araştırma bulguları ışığında, STEM uygulamalarının yaygınlaştırılması, müfredat ve ders sürelerinin gözden geçirilmesi, mali kaynakların artırılması ve paydaşlar arasındaki işbirliğinin desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.

Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin kendilerine yönelik yapılan şiddet ve istenmeyen öğrenci davranışı algılarını incelemektir. Çalışmada araştırma modeli olarak odak grup görüşmesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu, amaçsal örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar döneminde görevli 16 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılar iki farklı çalışma grubuna ayrılmıştır. Alan uzmanı bir moderatör yönetiminde önceden hazırlanan sorularla yarı yapılandırılmış iki farklı görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların izni ile görüşmeler ses kaydına alınmış, araştırmada bu ses kayıtlarından elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda öğretmenlerin istenmeyen öğrenci davranışlarını daha çok “okul ve sınıf kurallarına uymama” (%26,6) olarak tanımladıkları, en fazla “duygusal ve sözel şiddet” (%35,2) yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçların yanı sıra görüşmelerde öğretmenlerin, istenmeyen öğrenci davranışlarına ilişkin yaptıkları “farklı davranış” tanımlamaları literatürde yer almamaktadır. Bu görüş, literatürdeki tanımlamalara farklı bir bakış açısı getirmiş olması açısından önemlidir. Buna göre, istenmeyen öğrenci davranışı kavramının farklı bir bakış açısıyla yeniden tanımlanması gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Bu araştırmada sınıf eğitimi öğrencilerinin öz yeterliliklerinin farklı değişkenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modeli kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Sınıf öğretmeni adaylarına, Riggs ve Enochs (1990) tarafından geliştirilmiş ve Bıkmaz (2002) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlamış güvenirliği ve geçerliği yapılmış olan “Sınıf eğitimi öğrencilerinin Fen Öğretiminde Öz Yeterlilik İnanç Ölçeği ” nin uygulanması ile araştırma yürütülmüştür. Araştırma, sınıf eğitimi 1., 2., 3. ve 4. sınıf düzeyinde öğrenim görmekte olan Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesinde öğrencileri ile toplamda 126 kişiye ölçeğin uygulanması ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin analiz edilmesi ile elde edilmiş olan veriler cinsiyetleri, sınıf düzeyleri, liseden mezun oldukları alanlarına ve fen öğretimi dersi alıp almama durumlarına göre incelenerek tablolaştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda sınıf eğitimi öğrencilerinin fen öğretimi öz yeterlilik inancının; cinsiyete, lise mezuniyet alanına ve sınıf düzeyine göre incelenmesinde anlamlı bir farklılaşma bulunmazken fen öğretimi dersini alıp almama değişkenine göre farklılaşma olduğu görülmüştür.
