THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SANITARY HYGIENE AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WITH COCKROACH DENSITY IN THE CANTEEN OF SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY INDRALAYA CAMPUS IN 2024
Authors: Novia Ade , Windusari Yuanita
Published: July 2024

The canteen is one of the strategic places in the spread of diseases carried by vectors and disease-carrying animals such as cockroaches. The spread of disease in the canteen is also influenced by environmental sanitation hygiene. A dirty and humid environment is a good breeding ground for cockroaches. The government has established a policy to reduce the vector population to minimize the risk of impact due to the disease it causes. Research to determine the relationship between sanitary hygiene and physical environmental conditions with cockroach density in the canteen of Sriwijaya University Indralaya campus was conducted. The study was an observational analytic study using a cross sectional study design. A total of 50 canteens on campus were used as samples and were total sampling. Data on sanitary hygiene standards were collected from observational sheets and measurements of physical environmental conditions were made using a hygro thermometer, while cockroach density was measured based on the sticky trap method. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that of the 50 canteens sampled, 6 canteens were classified as canteens with sanitary hygiene that did not meet the Permenkes requirements. This is indicated by the high cockroach density with a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. This means that sanitary hygiene significantly affects cockroach density. It was concluded that the most cockroaches were found in canteens with poor lighting conditions, low room temperature, and high room humidity. Sequential p-values of 0.000; 0.002; 0.002 for the 3 observed variables indicate a poor environment affects cockroach breeding, while a p-value <0.05 is interpreted as a significant relationship between physical environmental conditions and cockroach density.
De los significados a la (in)acción. Representaciones sociales de la perspectiva de género en educación primaria
Authors: González Piña Mariana del Carmen
Published: July 2024

Los significados que las personas construyen sobre los conceptos influyen en la política pública, por lo tanto, identificarlos es significativo para lograr un proceso de implementación exitoso. En México, la obligación que tiene el funcionariado público de transversalizar la perspectiva de género (PG) coexiste y entra en tensión con los debates sociales en torno a la PG y su creciente desprestigio por parte de grupos conservadores. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer y analizar las representaciones sociales (RS) de la PG de docentes del ciclo escolar 2017-2018 de tres escuelas primarias públicas de León, Guanajuato, así como su influencia en la aplicación de la PG en el ámbito escolar. El diseño metodológico fue cualitativo, con base en la teoría feminista y la teoría de las RS. Se realizaron entrevistas grupales con 21 docentes de 1°, 4° y 6° de primaria. Los hallazgos sugieren que las RS que mantienen las y los docentes sobre la PG no conducen a acciones que conlleven a una aplicación correcta de la PG pues su manera de significar lo que es género y PG carece de información adecuada y está basada en nociones adquiridas de su uso coloquial y mediático. Esto supone un obstáculo para el logro de la igualdad sustantiva en el ámbito educativo y es consecuencia de un problema más amplio donde el concepto de género se ha banalizado, provocando un problema teórico y práctico que debe seguirse analizando.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the culture of Manobo, Bagobo, and Mansaka Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao. It utilizes the qualitative-descriptive method to describe culture based on the practices of folk heroes in the collected oral narratives. Furthermore, the study uses the dramatist pentad theory of Kenneth Burke, including act, scene, agent, agency, and purpose, to produce cultural interpretations. Hence, the study reveals the culture mirrored in the oral narratives such as: (1) Manobo, pangayaw (hunting of enemies) and transcendental belief in Tubaran (magical instrument); (2) Bagobo, hunting of wild chickens and encountering Busaw (evil spirits); and, (3) Mansaka, courtship and marriage to a mythical creature and hunting of birds. This research facilitates critical discourses on culture through oral narratives. It may foster a sense of place and cultural identity among academic scholars to rediscover the epistemological and ontological knowledge of Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao.

Published: July 2024

This study evaluated the effectiveness of four game-based activities (GBAs) in teaching ecosystems to Grade 7 Biology students. Involving 69 students (34 control, 35 experimental), the quasi-experimental study used a mixed-methods approach. The researcher utilized a static-group comparison design for the quantitative phase and a thematic analysis for the qualitative phase. Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in the experimental group's social skills (p<0.05; Cohen’s d = 0.63) and conceptual understanding (p<0.05; Cohen’s d = 0.86). Descriptive statistical analysis also suggests that GBAs can foster positive attitudes toward using GBAs and learning. Qualitative data from journal entries and teacher-observer interviews highlighted enhanced communication, collaboration, confidence, and participation among students using GBAs. The study also recognized the interconnection between conceptual understanding, social skills, and attitude toward learning, not just as pedagogical tools but also as practical tools in improving students’ affective domain, creating a safe environment beneficial for the learning process in general.

Мета. Метою статті є висвітлення результатів дослідження взаємозв’язку рівня вікарної травми та рівня депресії у психологів, які працюють під час воєнних конфліктів. У статті досліджено вікарну травму та депресію як психологічні явища, де вікарна травма визначена як негативна трансформація психолога, що виникає в результаті емпатійної взаємодії з людьми, які пережили травму, зі схожими на ПТСР, але менш інтенсивними характерними реакціями. Методи. У процесі дослідження використані теоретичні, а також психодіагностичні методи, які забезпечили реалізацію констатувального експерименту: Шкала вторинного травматичного стресу, Авторська анкета визначення ознак вікарної травми, Опитувальник оцінки психічного здоров’я КМА – УДХ, опитувальник «Оцінка рівня психологічної, фізіологічної і професійної дезадаптації» О. Родіної. Результати. Депресія визначена як негативний афективний стан, який характеризується смутком, порожнечею, безнадійністю, зневірою. Проаналізовано теоретичні дослідження вікарної травми та депресії науковцями. Досліджено генезис вікарної травми й депресії у психологів. Визначено, що є виражені зв’язки між рівнем вікарної травми та депресії, тривоги, ПТСР і вживання алкоголю. Виявлено прямопропорційний вплив симптомів вікарної травми та рівня депресії, наслідки якого простягаються від симптомів зниження настрою, хронічної втоми та дратівливості, провалів у пам’яті, відсутності або погіршення якості сну до деструктивних змін у фізичному здоров’ї. Висновки. Гіпотеза про те, що високий рівень вікарної травми може зумовити прояви депресії у психологів, які працюють під час воєнних конфліктів, знайшла своє підтвердження. Симптоми психологічної, фізіологічної і професійної дезадаптації психологів, як-от соматовегетативні порушення, порушення циклу «сон – активність», погіршення самопочуття у сфері емоційних порушень та особливості соціальної взаємодії, є найбільш характерними саме для психологів з високими рівнями вікарної травми та депресії. Психологи цієї групи входять до зони ризику з погляду розвитку депресивних станів у подальшому та погіршення стану не тільки ментального, а й фізичного здоров’я.

Comparison between the Standard Teaching and the Thai Version of Blended Teaching on Basic Airway Management in Siriraj Medical Students
Authors: Thalerngnawachart Chatchaya , O'Donnell John Marc , Surabenjawong Usapan
Published: July 2024

Objective: To compare the basic airway management skill score of Thai medical students who learned airway management utilizing blended peer-to-peer teaching with those who learned by the standard face-to-face approach. The learners’ pre- and post-learning confidence, satisfaction with the learning, and stress levels were evaluated.
Materials and Methods: A randomized crossover study was conducted with third-year medical students in Thailand. Basic airway management was taught, including oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airway insertion, and bag-mask ventilation skills. After the learning, two blinded and independent experts rated the learners on performing the procedures.
Results: In total, 32 participants took part in the study. The blended group had significantly lower skill scores for oropharyngeal airway (8.69 ±1.078 and 9.69 ± 0.479, p-value 0.004) and nasopharyngeal airway (7.87 ± 1.408 and 9.38 ± 0.500, p-value 0.001) management, respectively. The bag-mask ventilation skills scores were also lower in the blended group. The confidence level was increased in both groups. Learning with the face-to-face method was found to be slightly less stressful. Overall, the majority of the students preferred learning by the standard method.
Conclusion: Unlike Western students, Thai learners can learn basic airway management skills more effectively with the face-to-face instructor-led method than with the peer-oriented blended method.
Larval morphology, vocalisations, and phylogenetic position of Crossodactylus dantei (Anura: Hylodidae): new insights into a little-known anuran species

Published: July 2024

Aspects of the biology and natural history of the endemic anuran Crossodactylus dantei remain unknown even almost 30 years since its description. In this study, we describe its larval stage, along with the advertisement and territorial calls, and assess its phylogenetic positioning based on a fragment of the 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene. The larval stage of C. dantei follows the morphological pattern of Hylodidae, corroborating the relatively uniform larval morphology of the family. However, it is still possible to observe characters that distinguish C. dantei from other species in the genus, such as the elliptical body in dorsal view, nostrils located closer to the snout than to the eyes, an elongated pre-nasal arena, and the absence of taenia tecti medialis and taenia tecti transversalis in the chondrocranium. Its advertisement call is characterised by a sequence of about 23 pulsed notes, with ascending amplitude modulation, and has a mean duration of 2.5 seconds, with a dominant frequency of 3356 Hz. The territorial call has a mean duration of 23 seconds, a dominant frequency of 3160 Hz, and two distinct types of notes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated the existence of two main lineages in the genus. Crossodactylus dantei was recovered with high statistical support as a sister species to the clade composed of C. gaudichaudii and C. timbuhy. Furthermore, the group formed by these three species was recovered as the sister lineage of C. trachystomus. In summary, the information presented here represents a significant advance in the knowledge of this enigmatic and rare species of the northern Atlantic Forest, providing baseline data for future ecological and evolutionary studies of this unique frog.

Giant milkweed (Calotropis gigantea L.) is a salinity and drought-resistant xerophyte that is widespread around the world and serves significant ecological and medicinal purposes. The research aimed to evaluate the influence of saline stress on germination characteristics and prompt growth attributes of seedlings of C. gigantea. Seeds were germinated under five salinity levels viz. 0, 6, 8, 10 and 12 dS m-1 and allowed to grow for 30 days for traits assessment. Germination percentage (GP), germination rate index (GRI), co-efficient of the velocity of germination (CVG), mean germination time (MGT), Timson germination index (TGI), shoot length (SL), root length (RL), seedling dry weight (SDW) and healthy seedling number at 30 days were found lower in the salt solution compared to the control condition. Mean germination time was expanded with the increment of salinity levels. TGI of C. gigantea sustained a significant positive linear regression with GP (r = 0.9881), GRI (r = 0.9923) and CVG (r = 0.7887) at P < 0.001, but MGT (r = 0.7855) at P = 0.005. The correlation coefficient among the germination traits revealed insignificant between RL and other germination traits (GP, CVG, MGT, and TGI) except GRI (r = 0.499*) and SL (r = 0.541*).  It is recommended that, as an emerging medicinal and fiber resource plant, C. gigantea can be cultured productively in coastal saline areas.

In recent years, postharvest loss has been a serious concern. However, knowledge of the mechanical properties is vital to developing any postharvest technology for rice production better. The objective of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the mechanical properties of selected paddy rice at different variety-moisture content interactions. The mechanical properties of AGRA rice, CRI-Amankwatia, CRI-Enapa, and CRI-Dartey, four local varieties developed in Ghana, are compared at 11.5%, 13.0% and 16.5% on wet basis moisture content. Tukey's Honest Significant Difference (HSD) comparisons test was conducted during data analysis to compare all possible pairwise combinations of the various varieties and moisture content interaction. From the results, it was concluded that CRI-Dartey, at 16.5%, recorded the highest Sphericity and Aspect Ratio of 0.391 mm3 and 0.298 mm3, respectively. For grain mass, AGRA rice at 13.0% also recorded 0.0312 g as the highest score. The GM1000, Angle of Repose and Bulk density CRI-Amankwatia at 16.5 % moisture content recorded the highest score of 29.33 g, 47.3o, and 654.0 kg/m3, respectively. AGRA rice at 13.0% observed the highest value of 1685.8 for kg/m3 true density, and the highest value for porosity was 70.83%, which was recorded by CRI-Enapa at 11.5 % moisture content. In all cases, the difference in mean value was less than the Least Square Difference. This indicates that there were no significant statistical differences between their mean values, indicating that technologies developed and adapted for one variety can equally be used for all the other varieties.

Published: July 2024

Sheep are small ruminants that require small amounts of feed and can graze on poor-quality pastures, including fallow lands, roadsides, dikes and playgrounds. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the grazing length on growth performance of crossbred sheep in the southwestern region of Bangladesh. Sixteen crossbred female sheep were divided into four treatment groups and randomly allowed four different grazing periods. The experimental design was based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Lambs were initially weighed and grouped by keeping the average weight of the four treatment groups approximately the same. The grazing hours allocated to the four treatment groups were 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours, respectively. During this period, the sheep of particular treatment groups were housed when their allocated grazing period was completed. Empty body weight data were taken fortnightly in the morning before they were allowed to graze. The results revealed that body weight increased with increasing grazing length but the mean difference did not differ significantly (p>0.05). In most cases, the highest body weight was observed in sheep grazing for 12 hours per day. Average growth rates of grazing sheep varied significantly between the 6 to 8 hour and 10 to 12 hour grazing groups. But between the 6 to 8 hour grazing group and the 10 and 12 hour grazing group, the growth rate of crossbred sheep did not vary significantly (p>0.05). The growth rate (g day-1) of crossbred sheep ranged from 22.44±4.75 to 92.00±11.95, highest in 12 hour grazing group and lowest in 6 hour group. It can be concluded that the body weight and growth rate of crossbred sheep increased with an increase in grazing length. However, 10 hours of grazing meets the requirements for their maintenance and growth due to good pasture quality.

TIMELESS GEM: HOW MAHABHARATA CAN BE THE GAME CHANGER IN INSPIRING RESPECT FOR ELDERS
Authors: MUNIANDY TAMIL ARASI , MUNIANDY RAJANTHERAN , HUTAGALUNG FONNY DAMEATY
Published: July 2024

Mahabharata is the longest epic poem and a product of ancient Hindu civilisation, written post Ramayana between 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. Scholars unanimously agree the Mahabharata is a Hindu moral treatise. However, the fundamental moral values relating to the family as depicted in the epic is very much understudied, notably the element of respect given to the elders. The mainstream interpretations of the Mahabharata text focus primarily on its spiritual element, limiting its application and relevance to wider moral living. In reality, the epic promotes family values, notably the enduring respect for older family members by the younger ones even when they treat the latter unjustly. This paper contributes to literature on morality, namely the value of respect as discussed and portrayed in Mahabharata. Respect is a universal value; however, this moral value as discussed in Mahabharata is unique and worthy to be promoted as a moral ideal because it has significant scientific and cultural implications. Therefore, the current study further seeks to identify moral values associated with family life, namely respect for the elderly. Relevant data is extracted and later analysed using Hermeneutic Approach, while Murray Bowen's Family Systems Theory is utilised to understand intra-familial relationship. Kohlberg's Moral Development Theory meanwhile is used to delineate the moral phases of important characters. Certain methods and expressions are used in the epic that reflect familial respect, namely: i) Salutatory Respect; ii) Acquiescent Respect; iii) Consultation Respect; iv) Linguistic Respect; v) Gift Respect and Reverence. Mahabharata is potentially a valuable moral resource for the younger generation and including its moral values in the educational syllabus will pave way to create generations that respect and honour its elderly and older members of society.

Objective: Surgical site infections (SSIs) among surgical patients are the most common nosocomial infection, accounting for 38 percent. It is estimated that SSIs develop in 2 to 5 percent of the more than 30 million patients undergoing surgical procedures each year. We aimed to assess the impact of changing sterile gloves at the time of wound closure to reduce SSI in women undergoing elective cesarean section (CS). Patients and Methods: The study was done from February 2023 to July 2023 at Ain Shams University Hospital. 220 Women were randomly distributed and blindly allocated into two groups. Group A (operative glove changing group “n=110”), Group B (usual care group “n=110”). Postoperative febrile morbidity, cellulitis, need for antibiotics for skin- or wound-related infection, and endometritis were compared between study groups. Results: Postoperative wound complications were statistically significantly higher among cases not subject to a change of sterile gloves, 28.0% vs. 9.8%. On the other hand, no differences were noted between study groups regarding operative duration 61.39 ± 7.76 vs. 59.35 ± 8.11 minutes. Conclusion: Changing sterile gloves at the time of wound closure reduces surgical site infection and associated morbidity in women undergoing elective CS.

Published: July 2024

Background: Laparoscopic hysterectomy patients report high levels of postoperative pain and inadequate pain relief. This minimally invasive procedure is difficult to manage and leads to increased opioid use, limited mobility, and higher risks of complications, delayed rehabilitation and prolonged hospital stay. Objective: To determine the analgesic efficacy of bupivacaine’s intraperitoneal instillation (IP) with dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant for postoperative pain management in laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods: This study is a randomized control clinical trial done at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Ain Shams University Hospital, within 11 months (from September 2021 to August 2022). This study’s target population was all patients enrolled in laparoscopic hysterectomy. A total of 30 patients participated in this study, and we randomly divided it into two groups equally (15 patients per group). Results: There was no significant difference between groups regarding body mass index, age, parity, obstetric history, medical history, surgical history, indication of hysterectomy, type of hysterectomy, duration of surgery, and uterus size. Visual analog scores for patients at 1-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hours post-operatively increased significantly in Group B than in Group A. Furthermore, the time required for first rescue analgesia increased significantly more in Group A than in Group B. Group A required substantially less analgesic amount than Group B. Group A had significantly shorter hospital stays than Group B. There was no statistically significant difference between groups A and B in terms of adverse effects like nausea and vomiting (p>0.05) although they were less frequent in group A. Conclusion: Intraperitoneal instillation of bupivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic hysterectomy substantially reduces postoperative pain and the requirement for analgesics in the postoperative period, compared to the control group, with no adverse side effects.

Isolated dextrogastria is an uncommon congenital abnormality defined by rightward stomach rotation. Although it was usually thought to be a harmless discovery with no long-term implications, potential connections with other congenital malformations have been documented. In our case, a 30-year-old primigravida’s fetus with isolated dextrogastria and an abdominal cyst gave birth at 38 weeks of pregnancy and later received a biliary atresia diagnosis. This case report contributes to the expanding collection of literature on solitary dextrogastria and highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring for any related anomalies and long-term repercussions.
TYPES OF ALLUSIONS IN BOHDAN TOMENCHUK’S POETRY ABOUT THE WAR
Authors: Гаврилюк Надія
Published: July 2024

The paper examines allusions in Bohdan Tomenchuk’s poetry collection “Embroider, Mother, a bulletproof vest.” The various types of allusions are grouped based on their functions (activation of historical memory, adherence to literary tradition, text-structuring), themes (historical, mythological), and typology (ranging from nominal and quotation-type to associative). An attempt was made to differentiate the concept of allusion from quotation and reminiscence, while also juxtaposing it with intertext and intertextuality for comparison.
In the poet’s texts about the modern Russian-Ukrainian war, the references to literary works are accompanied by numerous allusions to historical reality. These are references of the nominal type (topographical or proper names connected with certain historical events in the reader's mind). The author's distinctive approach involves overlapping different types of allusions, namely those of historical and literary nature, as well as historical and mythological. Behind a direct allusion, an associative one may emerge, linking to a text from a different time period through shared words, phrases, or thematic aura.
The involvement of allusion in Tomenchuk’s poetry often occurs on the basis of the allegation (the new text ‘absorbs’ the previous one, without entering into a controversy with the original text). In this case, we deal with intertext (a text within a text). When an allusion entering a new text gets engaged in a dialogue with the original text, we deal with intertextuality as a process of textual interaction. By involving an allusion, the author makes it an element of the structure that serves as an impetus for the reader to navigate within a receptive context, searching among known texts relevant for interpreting the allusion while disregarding distant ones. Intertextuality engages cognition here. Sometimes allusion is not just an element of a structure but a structural principle, and it is proper to name it a structuring allusion. Various allusions in B. Tomenchuk’s poetry make it possible to fit the widest range of emotions and thoughts in a small textual space, to integrate the new experience of war into a broad historical and literary canvas with a biblical and mythological background.
THREE IMAGES OF POLISSIA. A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN POSTCOLONIAL COLORS
Authors: Романов Сергій
Published: July 2024

The paper examines the images of Volyn Polissia and its inhabitants in the works by the writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based on the methods of comparative and postcolonial studies, the research focuses on the novels “Friendship” (1905) by Lesia Ukrainka, “Malashka” (1881) by the Polish writer G. Zapolska, and “Olesia” (1898) by the Russian author A. Kuprin. The phenomenon of the Volyn-Polissia text provides an opportunity to clarify the topic in historical and cultural dimensions. The narrative structures of the three stories are considered as matrices for perceiving, understanding, and describing reality. The peculiarities of literary practices in topographical and anthropological cataloging of the ‘other’ were also investigated.For a long time, Polissia was under the control of neighboring states. The approach of the Polish and Russian authors to the ‘appropriated territories’ was distinctively invasive (imperial). The positions of cultural and state dominance legitimized the ‘other’ as a secondary and subordinate figure. Thus, the efforts of the colonizers were directed at lowering the native and elevating the stranger. The stranger, as represented in the characters of G. Zapolska and A. Kuprin, was a carrier of higher morality, intelligence, culture, etc. Through total control, he acquired the ‘right’ to rule over those ‘inferior’ to him. In the stories “Malashkaˮ and “Olesiaˮ, which are very similar in their main points, this mechanism is clearly revealed in the female images. The depiction of the local  population as wild, aggressive, and drunken ‘creatures’ also attests to the authors’ views.In contrast, the story “Friendship” is perceived as a tale of the national affirmation of the Ukrainian region. Lesia Ukrainka doesn’t idealize the residents of Polissia but clearly shows their distinctiveness. The writer’s characters are Ukrainian and Polish girls of the same age. They have different destinies due to their differing backgrounds. The depicted worlds are independent, which is evidenced by the life of their representatives.

This article investigates the impact of hybrid Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting (RF-EH) techniques on cooperative Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications systems. The energy harvesting (EH) process is carried out in the vehicle or vehicle transmitter as a source using the Time Switching (TS) protocol and in the vehicle or relay vehicle using the Power Splitting (PS) protocol. The transmitter or source vehicle obtains the RF signal for the EH process from the base station (BS), while the relay vehicle obtains the RF signal from the transmitter or source vehicle. System performance is presented with Outage Probability (OP) values ​​for different EH parameters, namely, time switching factor, α and power splitting factor â. From the simulation results, all parameters influence the OP value. The higher the value of the RF-EH parameters (α and â) results in a lower OP value. For noise power, N_0 = -100 dBm, the best OP value for α = 0.7 is 0.1214 and the best OP value for â = 0.8 is 0.1557.

The rapid development of the automotive sector in electronic systems is accompanied by an increase in injector types that have different numbers of holes, especially on motorbikes. It is hoped that the different number of holes in the injector will have certain advantages which are expected to improve its performance. This research aims to determine the effect of using variations in the number of holes in the injector and the octane value of the fuel on petrol motor power. The research method uses experiments with descriptive analysis. The independent variable is the number of holes in the injector, 4, 6, and 8 and the octane value of the fuel is 90 and 92. In the power testing process using engine speed from 1000 rpm to 9000 rpm and the bound variable is the power. The results of this research show that there is a significant influence with the greatest power on the type of injector with 4 holes and fuel with an octane value (RON) of 92, namely 6.072 [kW] at an engine speed of 6500 [rpm]. When using fuel with an octane rating (RON) of 90, the greatest power in the injector type with 6 holes is 5,451 [kW] at an engine speed of 7000 [rpm]. In general, all types of injectors can be used, because the difference in power produced is not too large.
