Authors: SUSIANI SUSIANI
Published: August 2022

Motivation is often a problem faced in the world of education. There are several things that cause a lack of student motivation, one of which is the presentation of learning materials that are less attractive and tend to be monotonous. Learning that is not interesting and monotonous will result in students being reluctant to pay attention, and preferring to play or do other activities while learning is in progress. If this continues, it will be able to affect student achievement. In this study, the researcher wanted to know the effect of comics media in increasing students' motivation and learning achievement using the descriptive method of Interrelationship Studies. With data collection techniques by observation and objective tests. At the time of the study, it was found that there was a significant effect on increasing students' motivation and learning achievement after using comics media. Students' motivation and learning participation increased by 39.39% in the first cycle, while in the second cycle there was an increase of 45.45%. This increase in motivation is in line with the increase in student achievement, namely 41.41% on the first daily test and 46.46% on the second daily test.

Contribuições de Paulo Freire na Índia e suas conexões com a filosofia de Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar: expressões de internacionalização
Authors: Marcoccia Patrícia Correia de Paula , Streck Danilo Romeu
Published: August 2022

Este artigo discute as contribuições de Paulo Freire na Índia e suas conexões com a filosofia neo-humanista proposta por Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, perspectiva pouco explorada. Trata, ainda, do movimento de internacionalização que Freire forjou no exílio até chegar à Índia. Baseia-se em obras de Freire, entrevistas e artigos que abordam sua experiência na Índia, obras de Sarkar e estudiosos de internacionalização. Freire identificou muitas diferenças culturais, enfatizando a necessidade de um projeto educativo comprometido com a libertação das castas oprimidas e a participação dos oprimidos no processo. Sua interlocução com Organizações não Governamentais fortaleceu experiências educativas locais de libertação, sobretudo em áreas rurais. Freire e Sarkar estão ontologicamente conectados ao anunciarem uma práxis voltada à transformação social, ancorada em uma visão universalista, sustentável e socialmente justa, na defesa de uma educação libertadora, baseada na interculturalidade, na ética, na ciência, na filosofia e na espiritualidade.

This study examines the politicization of religion through social media Facebook that occurred during the election campaign for the Governor and Deputy Governor of North Sumatra from January to June 2018. This was followed by two pairs of candidates, namely Eramas and Djoss. There are three research questions posed: 1) How is the politicization of religion on Facebook social media in the 2018 North Sumatra gubernatorial election, 2) How is the candidate pair politicizing religion through Facebook social media, 3) the relationship between the politicization of religion and Facebook social media. By using qualitative research methods the researchers traced and collected data through in-depth interviews, as well as observation and documentation. The results of this study reveal that: first, the construction of issues that link religious issues in the 2018 North Sumatra gubernatorial election is interactive. Where there are two or more Facebook users who are involved in the interaction of exchanging messages and the role as communicators and interacting communicants are in full control of the timing, content, actions of communication and the text to be disseminated. Second, departing from the public opinion that was built, each candidate in the 2018 North Sumatra gubernatorial election, both the Eramas couple and the Djoss pair used buzzers in their campaign activities. In further battles, there was a crystallization of issues that linked everything related to religion on Facebook. Third, the game of religious symbols cannot be separated from the hope of gaining support from a specific mass base. The construction of these symbols is deliberately presented to inspire potential voters with the form of pride and fanaticism of religion, ethnicity, and race on social media Facebook

Authors: Verma Tikendra Kumar , Tiwari K. L. , Jadhav S. K.
Published: August 2022

The development of novel biosorbent is a challenge in the age of biotechnology. Biosorbent has a higher capacity for the removal of heavy metal pollutants from industrial wastewater and is necessary as it is more efficient than traditional technologies. In this study, we have examined living biomass of Aspergillus versicolor for the removal of Fe(II) from aqueous solution and found its maximum biosorption capacity of Fe(II) was 4.44 mg/g. This biosorption process was also tested under different conditions such as contact time, pH, temperature and initial metal ion concentration in batch setup. The optimum rate of biosorption was found after 8th days of contact time at pH 5.0 and 30˚C of temperature. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model was successfully applied for the Fe(II) biosorption data and their value of correlation coefficients (R2) were obtained as 0.971 and 0.981, respectively, thus both isotherm models were best fitted on the equilibrium data.

Published: August 2022

The world is gaining a lot of interest in the production of bioethanol from various biobased, agricultural waste sources in order to reduce net carbon dioxide emissions and lower the global dependence on fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic materials were a good choice as a feedstock for ethanol production considering their incredible accessibility and their ethanol yields. Rice straw is one of the major agro-waste which is produced during rice processing. This demonstrates the potential of using such waste materials for further processing, particularly in the production of bioethanol. The goal of this research is to make bioethanol from rice straw. For fermentation, rice straw hydrolysate was produced and inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After fermentation, the fermented samples were qualitatively checked for the confirmation of bioethanol production and quantitatively estimated by the specific gravity method. Effects of various parameters like temperature, incubation period, and inoculum were also optimized to enhance bioethanol production. The highest bioethanol was obtained when 1% inoculum size was taken at 30℃ for 72 h.

Pollution of heavy metal imposes a serious threat to environment. Heavy metals could be present in environment naturally as its part or added by enormous human activities like usage of fertilizers and pesticides, dumping of solid wastes, mining, industrial effluents, burning of fossil fuels, etc. Heavy metal such as zinc, lead, cadmium, mercury, copper, arsenic, etc., are absorbed by the plants from natural environments and through them get entered into the food chain. In plants, above threshold limit of many of these heavy metals show adverse effects and imposes deleterious effects on their growth and development. The impact of heavy metals could be noticed by numerous morphological, biochemical and molecular alterations in plants. These changes are brought disturbance in normal cellular metabolism. Thus, the major by-products of normal cellular metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) could also been thought to be involved in damaging reactions. Excessive generation and accumulation of these ROS creates oxidative stress condition and cytotoxicity. To conquer this situation, plants have various defensive mechanisms including enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, which detoxify ROS molecules by converting them into non-toxic products.

India and several other countries are facing the biggest threat to survival due to a novel pandemic called Coronavirus and diseases (COVID-19) which was originated from Wuhan in China in the year 2019. This coronavirus belongs to the group of respiratory viruses (SARS-CoV-2). Its mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets released from the mouth of an infected person while sneezing or coughing. This outbreak has forced to shut down several countries to minimize its community spread. Due to this current lockdown, affected countries are facing several challenges viz. health issues, economical pressure, educational, religious, and social affairs etc. As it can be seen that the world’s biggest pandemic i.e., COVID-19 is spreading at a very high rate and has taken away the lives of innumerable people worldwide since the initial days of its occurrence. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent its social spread to save the lives of many people all over the world. This manuscript deals with several essential ethnopharmacological herbs and spices which can be incorporated in diet to prevent infectious diseases. Also, it will revive the role of ancient Indian tradition, cultures and beliefs in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and thereby decreasing the chances of its occurrence.
A review of evidence based practices to support students with oppositional defiant disorder in classroom settings
Authors: Barker Conor , de Lugt Jenn
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this systemic review of empirical research was to investigate available evidence-based interventions for use with students with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in general classroom settings. ODD is a specific disorder characterised by angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, and vindictiveness. Often ODD is hidden in the extant literature, as it is categorized under the umbrella term emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) along with sometimes non-related disorders (attention-disorders, mood disorders, anxious disorders). This review of 26 articles focused on interventions for students whose behaviours were characteristic of ODD in classroom settings. While much of the research regarding the treatment of ODD consists of clinical strategies (e.g., family therapy, exercise programs, and community supports), it is essential that teachers have strategies to support students with ODD in inclusive general education classroom settings. Three main types of interventions emerged from this review: functional behaviour analysis, group contingency, and self-monitoring strategies. A number of other non-categorical strategies are also presented and discussed. Percentages of nonoverlapping data (PND) were calculated to explore the effect of these interventions in improving adaptive behavior, and in decreasing disruptive behavior. The resulting review provides recommendations and strategies for how teachers can support students with ODD in their classrooms.

Authors: Dhami Kawena , Sharma Dr. Suramya
Published: August 2022

Background: Scapular dyskinesia is the most common prevailing disorder in which there is alteration of the glenohumeral rhythm, thus paving the pathway to various musculoskeletal pathologies associated with the upper extremity. It is caused by the muscular imbalance thereby causing a change in the torque and ultimately the kinematic chain of the upper limb.
A study of the prevalence of the same will help to work on the rehabilitative strategies by identifying the early symptoms and hence enable an early intervention.
Objective: To assess scapula dyskinesia in healthy individuals between the age of 25-35 years
Method: An observational(non-experimental) study was conducted on 100 healthy individuals between the age of 25 to 35 years. Ethical clearance from the committee of the institution and consent from participants was taken. Participants were screened, after which the lateral scapular slide test was performed following which they were asked to fill in the DPA scale.
Results: From the study it was revealed that there was prevalence of scapular dyskinesia in healthy individuals between the age of 25-35 years, with women showing a greater prevalence of the same.
Conclusions: There was prevalence of scapular dyskinesia in healthy individuals between the age of 25-35 years, thus can be used as a baseline strategy for rehabilitation programmes.

Keywords: scapular dyskinesia, glenohumeral rhythm, healthy individuals, lateral scapular slide test
Pre-Operative Anxiety among Patients Undergoing Major Surgery in a Government Hospital of Nepal
Authors: Prajapati Ganga , Prajapati Sajana , Yadav Vijay
Published: August 2022

Background: The extreme form of pre-operative anxiety may lead to severe cardiovascular complications like hypertension, arrhythmia etc. and other severe post-operative complications like post-operative pulmonary complications, delay ambulation, wound infection etc. This study aims to find out the association between study variables and the level of anxiety.
Methods: The study was conducted in surgical wards of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH). The level of pre-operative anxiety of 47 patients in the surgical wards planned for major surgery was assessed using Beck Anxiety Inventory. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were used to measure the association between anxiety and selected demographic and surgery related factors.
Results: All the patients experienced anxiety while 70.7% and 29.8% experienced very low and moderate levels of anxiety. None experienced severe anxiety. The major cause identified were health professionals’ inadequacy to provide information and fear of blood transfusion. No significant association between the level of anxiety and sociodemographic and surgery-related characteristics was found.
Conclusion: This study concludes that surgical patients experienced low to moderate levels of anxiety. Also, the need to incorporate pre-operative orientation and counseling programs in routine nursing care can be suggested.

Keywords: Beck Anxiety Inventory, nursing care, Hospital anxiety, surgery, anxiety.
A Case of Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax in a Patient with Interstitial Lung Disease
Authors: Sharma Dr. Atul
Published: August 2022

Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax occurs in people with wide variety of parenchymal lung disease. These individuals have underlying pulmonary pathology that alters normal lung structure. Patients presenting with acute respiratory distress with underlying lung pathology should always be evaluated radiologically for any complications such as secondary spontaneous pneumothorax and managed accordingly. My case report of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in a female patient with interstitial lung disease illustrates the importance of computed tomography (CT scan of Chest), insertion of intercostal drain tube and course of antibiotics for infection control and prevention.

Efectos de los Tratamientos Subletales en la Variabilidad de las Fases de Latencia de Salmonella Enterica Serovar Enteritidis y Listeria Innocua.
Authors: Rodríguez Vargas María Rosa , Aguirre García Juan Salvador
Published: August 2022

El presente trabajo de investigación estudió la variabilidad de la fase de latencia en células individualizadas de Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis y Listeria innocua después de recibir tratamientos inactivantes de acidificación, irradiación y calor. Una vez establecido el protocolo de los ensayos experimentales; el Bioscreen determinó previamente: la cantidad de bacterias que generan una turbidez de 0,20 de densidad óptica, el tiempo de detección y la tasa específica de máximo crecimiento; datos que indican las fases de latencia en condiciones experimentales. Sin embargo, para afinar aún más la estimación del número de células por pocillo y así calcular la fase de latencia de células individuales, se planteó dos estrategias: 1) que todas las muestras con crecimiento contenían una célula; 2) que un cierto número de muestras contendrán uno, dos o más células. Así, si hay dos o n células viables, la fase de latencia de la población será paulatinamente más corta y, es de esperar, menos variable. Los datos analizados concluyeron que la variabilidad de los microorganismos en estudio, aumentan cuando el substrato de crecimiento del microorganismo es más complejo y cuando la temperatura de crecimiento se aleja de la óptima. Desde el punto de vista de la variabilidad de la fase de latencia, la acidificación es la más variable, en cambio la  irradiación es una excelente alternativa a los tratamientos térmicos porque, tanto para la inactivación como para la fase de latencia de los microorganismos supervivientes irradiados los resultados son más homogéneos y menos variables.

Published: August 2022

New materials are being studied and widely applied in the health area, highlighting biocompatible polymers as the most versatile. Among these polymers, we developed the methodology for the manufacture of Thermoplastic Polyurethane films for application as Biomaterials. The proposed sterilization by ionizing radiation requires the study and characterization of the material to evaluate possible losses or modifications, due to the influence that the radiation can cause in the polymer chains, losing the characteristics for the purpose used. Therefore, the present work evaluates, through chemical and physical-chemical characterization, the possible extension of the changes caused by the radiation in the polyurethane film. The material is produced in an environment with controlled temperature and humidity and subjected to increasing doses of gamma (15, 25 and 50 kGy), ethylene oxide and plasma as comparative techniques. The techniques DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), TGA (Thermogravimetry), FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) and OCT (Optical coherence tomography), have proved that the material, after applied the sterilization techniques, maintains its physical-chemical characteristics and does not suffer any modifications after the treatment.
