Background: Self-medication is a universal phenomenon and is practiced globally with varied frequency. In several studies, it has been found that the potential disadvantage of self-medication is a waste of resources, increased resistance to pathogens, and causes serious health hazards such as adverse reactions and prolonged suffering. This study aimed to estimate the practice and factors associated with self-medication among the urban general population. Subjects and Method: This community based cross-sectional study was conducted among gene¬ral population of Amreli city, Gujarat, India from February to November 2022. A total of 110 sub¬jects were include in this study. The dependent variable is self-medication practice. The inde¬pendent variables are education, occupation, economic class. Data were collected by face-to-face interview using a semi-structured questionnaire with a recall period of 6 months’ experiences in 110 houses. Statistical analysis was done using Jamovi software. Results: Upper socio-economic class (OR= 1.74; 95% CI= 1.05 to 2.90; p= 0.031), highly educated (OR= 0.58; 95% CI= 0.41 to 0.83; p= 0.003) more likely to do self-medication than the lower socio-economic class and low education. Conclusion: Upper socio-economic and high education improve self-medication. Keywords: Self-medication, urban, reasons, adverse effects.

Background: Job satisfaction is a perception that is reflected in attitude and focused on behavior towards a job, and is a form of human interaction with the work environment. High job satisfaction is a sign that an agency has done good management. The more satisfied the health workers in an institution, the more maximum their level of performance and productivity so that the goals of the institution can be achieved. The study aims to analyze the factors that affect job satisfaction in health workers based on the results of previous similar studies. Subjects and Method: It was a systematic review and meta-analysis study with the PICO as follows: P = health workers, I = high salary, the availability of supervision C = low salary, no supervision O = job satisfaction. The data collection was conducted through the databases, namely: Google Scholar and PubMed. The inclusion criteria used were full English papers with Cross Sectional designs in 2012-2022. The keywords used were “job satisfaction" AND "Associated factors” AND "Health Worker". The articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: The meta-analysis was conducted on 8 primary studies from several countries such as Ethiopia, China, and Nepal. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of high salary on job satisfaction. Based on the analysis, high-paid health workers were 1.88 times more likely to be satisfied than low-paid health workers and it was statistically significant (aOR = 1.88; CI 95% = 1.08 to 3.2; p = 0.020). Furthermore, a meta-analysis was conducted on 7 primary studies from northern and eastern parts of Ethiopia. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of supervision on job satisfaction. Healthcare workers who received supervision were 2.93 times more likely to be satisfied than those who were unsupervised and it was statistically significant (aOR = 2.93; CI 95% = 1.51 to 5.66; p= 0.003). Conclusion: The provision of high salaries and supervision increases the job satisfaction of health workers. Keywords: job satisfaction, related factors, health workers.
Oryantalizm, postkolonyalizm ve Amerikan Barış Gönüllüleri
Authors: TAŞKIN Yasemin
Published: October 2023

Tarih boyunca güçlü olan toplumlar güçsüz olanların üzerinde baskı kurmaya ve onların kaynaklarından ve emeklerinden faydalanmayı amaçlamışlardır. Sömürgeci dönem olarak tanımlanan 1945’e kadarki süreçten sonra sömürge durumundaki ülkeler bağımsızlıklarını ilan etmişlerdir. Bu ülkeler üzerinde Avrupa ülkeleri sömürgelerini devam ettirmek için yeni yollar aramaya başlamışlardır. Bunu yaparken diğer ülkeleri kendisinden ayrı tutmak için kendisini “merkez” görüp, sömürge durumundaki ülkeleri ise “ötekiler” olarak sınıflamıştır. Oryantalizmde ise bu anlayışın “Doğu” kavramı üzerinde uygulandığı görülmektedir. İkinci Dünya Savaşı öncesinde, Batı’nın Doğu hakkında bir takım yollarla bilgi toplayıp, elde ettiği bu bilgiler sayesinde Doğu topluluklarının üzerinde kendisini güçlü kılma biçimi “oryantalizm” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Savaş sonrası dönemdeki Batı’nın sömürge imkânlarını devam ettirme ve bunu meşru bir zemine oturtma anlayışı ise “postkolonyalizm” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. 1970’ten itibaren Batı’nın bu postkolonyal politikalarının eleştirilmesi ve bu politikaların neler olduğunun ortaya konma çalışılmaları “postkolonyal teori” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Bu makale, oryantalizm yoluyla Batı’nın Doğu üzerinde nasıl güç elde ettiği, özellikle kültür ve sanat yollarıyla nasıl bilgi aktarımı yaptıkları ve sonuçlarını ele alarak bu alanda çalışan sanatçıların ve ilgililerin sanat faaliyeti adı altındaki sömürgeci tavrı ve niyetleri ortaya konulması amacı gütmektedir. Ayrıca oryantalist dönemdeki yöntemlerin yerini postkolonyalist anlayışta hangi tekniklerin aldığını ve sonuçlarını ortaya koymaya çalışmak, Amerikan Barış Gönüllülerinin Türkiye’deki faaliyetlerini, sonuçlarını ve postkolonyalist anlayışla ilişkisini incelemek bu makalenin diğer amaçlarındandır. Literatür taraması yoluyla elde edilen verilerde, geçmişte sömürge devletleri olan Amerika ve Avrupa ülkelerinin bu sömürgeci tavırlarından hiç vaz geçmedikleri görülmektedir.

Published: October 2023

Celukan Bawang water has a strategic location in the northern part of Bali Island that threatened its surrounding coral reefs by shipping, power plant, industrial activities, and shrimp ponds. However, there is limited data on its biodiversity status. Therefore, it is necessary to provide factual information regarding the coral reef ecosystem condition in scientific data. This study aimed to measure the coral reef`s components and the community structure. The coverage of coral reef components was collected based on the UPT method, while community structure data was taken in a belt transect within two different sites. All data was collected in December 2020. The difference in coral reef ecosystem components among sites was analyzed with the Paired-T and Kruskal-Wallis tests (for the non-homogenous data). Results showed that the coverage of live coral colonies in Site 1 is categorized as poor, whereas Site 2 is classified as moderate. Reefs were dominated by type growth non-Acropora massive from the family of Faviidae and encrusting from the family of Pocilloporidae. Statistically, there were no significant differences in all coral reef ecosystem components among Sites 1 and 2. Diversity and Evenness Indices were similarly low in the two sites. Dominance Index demonstrated that Site 1 was lower than Site 2 (moderate). It might be related to the coverage of the abiotic component, which, despite being statistically insignificant, showed that Site 2 has a higher percentage of rubbles and rocks. Rubble and rock can be a substrate for the coral juvenile to attach.Keywords: Community structure; Coral reef; Celukan Bawang; Buleleng

The objectives of the study were to analyze the potential of cattle resources and cost-income cattle farming at sites of the Corporate-based 1000 Village of Cattle Program as well as to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges factors while formulating strategies for developing cattle-farmers corporations. This research used a mix-method approach by applying both quantitative and qualitative strategies in collecting and gathering data at two selected villages as sites i.e. Pengengat and Mertak. Data was collected by the survey through face-to-face interviews with 70 respondents who was selected by random sampling, direct observations of the field, focused group discussion, indepth-interview, and review of secondary data of sub-national government both at provincial and district levels. Data were analyzed using multiple approaches including SWOT, calculation of area capacity, and cost-income analysis. The results of the study are as follows: (1) the site area has a maximum capacity (excess livestock) but can be further increased by the introduction of forage technology for animal feed; (2) the income of cattle farmers is relatively low at only IDR. 3,634,301 per year with an average of cattle raising of 1.82 heads; (3) internal factors as weaknesses are the small scale of cattle raising, less intensive in cattle managing, less knowledge of farmers, land use of feed sources have not been optimized, cattle-farmer groups have not optimally-functioned. The identified strengths are the highly motivation of cattle farmers, availability land for feed plantation, and supporting of cattle farmersâ€™ experiences.
Addition of Tomato Powder in the Diet of Native Laying Hens Formulated with Sardine Oil and Effects on Functional and Sensory Properties of Eggs
Authors: Sukoco Aji , Rizky Mohammad
Published: October 2023

The functional and sensory properties of eggs from native laying hens fed the diets incorporated with sardine oil and tomato powder were investigated. Native laying hens (n=120; 28 weeks old) received four dietary treatments, control (sardine oil 0% + tomato powder 0%), T1 (sardine oil 2.5% + tomato powder 0%), T2 (sardine oil 2.5% + tomato powder 0.5%), and T3 (sardine oil 2.5% + tomato powder 1%). Each treatment comprised six replications and employed five birds each. The experimental design used was a 3Ã—3Ã—2 Completely Randomized Factorial Design with the first factor was dietary treatment, the second factor was storage time, and the third factor was storage temperature. Functional and sensory properties data were analyzed by multivariate ANOVA and one-way ANOVA, respectively, and Duncanâ€™s Multiple Range Test was applied to separate the significant values between treatments. Dietary treatment, storage time, and storage temperature showed a significant interaction with the foaming ability (P<0.05). The dietary treatment alone did not give any significant effect on foaming ability. The result also showed a sole significant effect of storage temperature on the foam stability (P<0.05). The combination of tomato powder in the sardine oil-supplemented diet improved the color, odor, taste, and texture of fried egg yolk (P<0.05). Dietary sardine oil of up to 2.5% and tomato powder of up to 1% acted synergistically in improving sensory properties without decreasing the functional properties of eggs. Tomato powder could be used in feed formulation containing sardine oil to give beneficial effects on the functional and sensory properties of eggs produced by native laying hens.

The introduction of Taichung (Native) 1 in 1964 revolu tionised the very concept of rice breeding in India. This Taiwan indica variety possessed a very high yield potential compared to tall indica so far grown. This highlighted a break through in the yield levels possible in India with the substitution of the improved plant type that the Taichung (Native) I possessed. The improved plant type refers to the change in the architecture of the rice plant characterised by dwarfness of about 90-100 cm in height, erect habit, and a dark green foliage which increase photosynthetic efficiency and high fertilizer responsiveness resulting in high yield potential and insensitiveness to photoperiod. Introduction of new varieties like T(N) 1. from abroad may not be a permanent solution to varietal needs of the diverse agro-climatic regions and consumer preferences in India. Hence, recognising the merit of dwarfism and improved plant type a hybridisation programme was initiated at the Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore in 1965 with the object of infusing this desired plant type into the local improved popular strains possessing other traits of local importance and consumer preferences. Two of the early examples of the successful out-come of this bybridisation programme are the new strains KANCHI (CO 34) and CAUVERY (CO 35).

Increasing agricultural production is crucial for overall economic development of India. Agriculture received high priorities in the Five Year Plans and efforts were not lacking in organising a big push in Agriculture. Various schemes both technological and institutional have been implemented. However, shortages in supply of farm products exist and a major section of farms remain inefficient. Of the many causes attributed, the inefficient allocation of scarce resources of the farms among competing enterprises needs careful examination. It is reckoned that farmers can reach higher levels of efficiency in production even with present resources and technology by careful farm planning. The farm planning approach endeavours to put each resource of the farmer to the best use.

For the successful exploitation of interspecific hybridisa- tion in cotton improvement, the need to understand the barriers to species hybridisation is a vital prerequisite (Sikka 1957). Of the several "Reproductive isolating mechanism" (Stebbins 1958), studies were undertaken on (i) Time and nature of anthesis, (ii) Germination and growth of pollen and (iii) Effect of normal and bud pollination method on seed set, that are likely to encounter free crossing between four diploid species of Gossypium, at the Cotton Breeding Station, Coimbatore, during 1958-60 and the results are reported here.
On Certain Aspects of Quality of Irrigation Water on the Cationic Equilibrium in Typical Soils of Tamil Nadu
Authors:   Assitant in Chemist Agricultural College and Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, C.S BALASUNDARAM
Published: October 2023

Under permanent irrigation agriculture, the quality of irrigation determines the equilibrium cationic composition of soil colloids. Much understanding has been made on the attainment of equilibrium conditions through the study of ion exchange properties of soil colloidal surface. The colloidal surfaces with counter ions behave like condensers, and electro-kinetic theory of double-layer on the surface was first developed by Helmotz (1881). To explain the exponential decrease on ionic concentration from surfaces towards the bulk of the liquids was further developed by Guoy (1910) and later by Chapman independently on the diffused double layer theory. Pauli and Valko (1929) used empirical hyperbolic equations to describe the ion exchange phenomenon. Gans (1913) and Kerr (1928) used Law of Mass action principles to study ion-exchange phenomenon. The kinetically derived formulae of Gapon (1937) and Jenny (1936) also follows the Law of Mass action.

The family Cucurbitaceae constitutes one of the interesting assemblage of plants. Out of the ninety genera, Citrullus and Cucumis are of prime importance as they include common edible fruits like watermelon, muskmelon, snapmelon and longmelon. The knowledge on sex-forms and sex-ratio in these crops, which present a wide diversity in this respect, is needed before launching in a breeding programme. Sex-expression and sex-ratio of many cucurbits have been investigated by various authors and a few to mention are Tapley (1923), Tiedjens (1928), Correns (1928), Rosa (1928), Erwin and Haber (1929), Whitaker (1931), Scott (1933), Singh (1958), Shifriss and Galun (1956) and others. But the literature on melons is scanty and on snapmelon and longmelon it is almost absent. Dutta and Nath (1969) reported that muskmelon, longmelon and snapmelon were cross-compatible with each other.

The main objective of the programme of research at this centre is to carry out multi-disciplinary and multilocational co-ordinated research on rice as per the programme of work drawn at the Rice Research Workshops held twice in a year. This Co-ordinated approach to rice research has enabled rice research workers make rapid progress in finding out newer technologies in Rice Production. Research on varietal improvement under the project has so far resulted in the release of fourteen high yielding varieties of rice for large scale cultivation in India. During the Rice Research Workshop held at Hyderabad during February, 1971 eleven more varieties were recognised as fit for pre-release multiplication. Besides these, there are also varieties released by the State Departments and Agricultural Universities for specific locations, such as the variety Hamsa for Andhra Pradesh, Suma and Kusuma for Mysore, Annapoorna, Ashwathi, Rohini and Tiruveni for Kerala and Karuna and Pennai for Tamil Nadu. As new varieties have started coming in quick succession, it is necessary to study their performance under Jocal conditions to choose the best suited strains that are to be popularised in each State. The data on the performance of the varieties at Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore are discussed with a view to fix the best for large scale cultivation in Tamil Nadu.

Salinity is one of the problems posed by nature. Tamil Nadu with vast coastline and extensive areas of black cotton soil suffers from salinity havoc in considerable area. Reclamation of saline soils with various methods is being done. However, selection of saline tolerant crops is important to bring the saline lands under plough and to grow some crops in the recla- mation phase. Different plant species respond to salinity, differentially. Even saline tolerant varieties in field crops are also met with. Eleusine coracana usually considered to be a saline tolerant crop is being cultivated in areas under saline conditions. Hence a study on the influence of salinity on the varieties of this crop will provide useful information on their response to saline conditions. An investigation has been taken up to study the influence of salinity on three varieties of ragi and the yield performance of these varieties are discussed in this paper.

The striking contrast of high rice yields of Japan (5240 kg/ha) to low rice yields of India (1540 kg/ha) is generally attributed to particular strains that respond to high dosage of fertilizers and their successful management. The cheapest and most efficient way of increasing rice yields in India is to grow high yielding and higher fertilizet responsive varieties. ADT. 27 is a hybrid characterised by its high fertility response, fairly resistant to lodging, short in duration and suited to both Kuruvai and Navarai" seasons. This variety is grown in large area in Tamil Nadu and particularly in Thanjavur district. A study was taken up to find out the responsiveness of ADT 27 to the graded doses of N under different plant spacings.

The scope of selection depends on the magnitude of variability in the material under selection and the extent to which the desirable characters are heritable. An appraisal of the variation and heritability of both qualitative and quantitative characters is therefore desirable to assess critically the value of the material under study for its further utilization either in selection or hybridization programme. Castor with its great multiplicity of forms and types, as it is grown under diverse agro-climatic conditions is subjected to such a study and the variations on the qualitative characters are presented. The standards are also fixed for describing these characters.

In a hybridisation programme, varieties obtained from different geographic and ecological regions are being utilised with the assumption of their natural diversity and desirable improvement is expected in their progenies. The validity of this assumption depends upon the association between geographic and genetic diversity. Mahalanobis's D- Statistic based on multivariate analysis measures the amount of genetic diversity in given populations in respect of characters considered together. Genetic diversity has been studied by Murty and Pavate (1962) in Nicotiana tabacum L., Murty and Qadri (1966) in brown sarson Arunachalam and Jawahar Ram (1967) in Sorghum, Murty and Tiwari (1967) in Pennisetum typhoides Burm., Anand and Murty (1968) in linseed, Singh and Bains (1968) and Singh and Gupta (1968) in cotton. Sandhu and Sangha (unpub.) had found a fairly high degree of genetic diversity in a group of 27 varieties of bunch groundnut. The object of this paper is to study the genetic divergence in another group of 27 varieties using D- statistic to determine whether it is related to geographic divergence.

Perché tradurre Qamīṣ al-ṣūf
Authors: Ebeid Bishara
Published: October 2023

The collection of seven short stories Qamīṣ al-ṣūf (the Woollen Shirt) by the Lebanese writer Tawfīq Yūsuf ʿAwwād (d. 1989), published in 1937, testifies to the modernization of Arabic literature immediately after the period of Nahḍah. This, the second of ʿAwwād’s short story publications, was widely read throughout the Arab world. ʿAwwād was famous for his realistic and social style and his precise descriptions of realities he himself had experienced. He produced work in other literary genres, such as novels, poetry, theatrical work and articles, but is above all considered a pioneer of the short story form and genre, to which he made a significant contribution. Although his novels and his theatrical work have been translated into Western languages, his four collections of short stories are still untranslated and therefore remain unknown to Western readers. Unlike his novels, the more easily accessible short story form enabled ʿAwwād to focus the reader’s attention on a limited and very specific number of issues and problems. Each collection, in addition, reflects the writer’s philosophy of carefully choosing which stories to put together. By comparison with the first of ʿAwwād’s collections, Qamīṣ al-ṣūf reveal a more mature narrative style. Writing about the period after the First World War, in a society full of problems and tragedies as well as strong national feeling, ʿAwwād offers his reader seven stories embodying various contemporary Lebanese contexts: the village, the city and its rural society, women and their problems as mother, wife and mother-in-law, but above all, the poverty that leads to suffering and even death. Apart from an Italian translation of one story that was published in his first collection, this is the first translation of a complete collection by ʿAwwād in a Western language. The book consists of two parts: the first is a presentation of the author, his literary production, his style and language, while the second is the collection itself, in the original Arabic text and an annotated Italian translation.
Стандарти і фактори впливу на мобільність військової автомобільної техніки
Authors: Кохан В. Ф.
Published: October 2023

У статті виконано порівняльний аналіз стандартів Великобританії, США, НАТО, СРСР та РФ щодо мобільності військової автомобільної техніки (ВАТ) і визначення факторів, що суттєво впливають/вплинуть на мобільність/прохідність. При аналізі стандартів, що визначають мобільність ВАТ були визначені і сформовані основні технічні показники (характеристики) ВАТ, а також складові, що впливають на показники опорної поверхні при розрахунках мобільності. Сформована класифікація факторів мобільності ВАТ за кожним діючим стандартом, яка дозволить в подальшому розмежувати фактори опорної поверхні за пріоритетом і при розрахунках (використовуючи комп’ютерні технології) з практичним випробуванням визначити порогові значення регламентованих показників рослинності і вплив на опорну поверхню, яка суттєво змінить максимально ефективні показники мобільності ВАТ при пересуванні на визначеній місцевості. За аналогією зі стандартами армій Великобританії DEF STAN 23-6/3 2000 р., США “Standard for Ground Vehicle Mobility” 2005 р. і рекомендаційного стандарту НАТО STANREC AVT-327 2020 р. буде створено основу проєкту національного стандарту ДСТУ В “Військова автомобільна техніка. Прохідність та мобільність бездоріжжям”.
