Published: January 2021

Feminism is tied in with examining sexual orientation contrasts and in regards to supplementing the job of genders in the public eye. Being a feminist it is just having faith in equivalent rights for all sexes. It's not tied in with detesting men. It's not about ladies being superior to men. It's not tied in with shunning womanliness. Pakistani Media is promoting western term of feminism and have recently launched the first feminism based web series CHURAILS. Four women run an office calling themselves CHURAILS. At the point when one of them disappears, their investigation drives them to something a lot greater than themselves. The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptive of Pakistani youth on feminism, also the effect of feminism on youth, and to explore the digital media content on feminism in Pakistan. An online survey is conducted through social media to which 150 respondents of age 16-30 year old responded. This study highlights that the youngsters of Pakistan are fully aware of the term Feminism and support gender equality. In which the 41% of youth agreed with the concept of gender equality concept of feminism. But the Pakistani Media is portraying the western feminism which is destroying our culture, norms and religious value. This study shows that the wrongly portrayed feminism by Pakistani Media is causing discomfort in gender which will affect the feminist movements in future. This study also shows that web series like CHURAILS is promoting vulgarity among the youngsters.

Published: January 2021

The use of contraceptives in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic has decreased by 35% to 47%. This resulted in the pregnancy rate increasing by 67 pregnancies from the previous year. In West Java, the pregnancy rate jumps by 10%. One of the efforts to suppress the spike in baby births is through the Keluarga Berencana (KB) program for couples with childbearing age. The aim of this community service is to provide knowledge about contraceptive tools and methods in suppressing baby booms. This community service method is in the form of interactive education based on information technology and offline interactive education. The target is 30 women of childbearing age couples aged between 15-45 who used contraception and did not make repeat visits during the Covid-19 pandemic. The implementation technique is divided into three stages, namely the first stage is to assess the level of understanding respondent with a pre-test use to google form, the second stage is to carry out counseling, family planning counseling program and introduction to the KB Klik application with offline and the third stage is to evaluate the material with a post test use to google form. The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge of both contraceptive tools and methods by 53.4%. With the increasing knowledge of mothers about family planning tools and methods, it is hoped that it can influence the attitudes of mothers in choosing and using the right contraceptives so that it is expected to limit the number of child births and reduce the impact of baby booms.

Published: January 2021

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in Indonesia. Based on Pathological Based Registration in Indonesia, breast cancer ranks first with a relative frequency of 18.6%. More than 80% of cases are found to be at an advanced stage, in addition as many as 60-70% of breast cancer treatment seekers are already in an advanced stage so treatment is difficult. Therefore it is necessary to understand prevention efforts and early diagnosis so that patient detection can be carried out at an early stage so that it can reduce breast cancer deaths. Breast cancer screening is an examination or attempt to find abnormalities that lead to breast cancer in a person or group of people who have no complaints. The initial attempt to screen for breast cancer is BSE. The purpose of this community service activity is to hold BSE training at SMA Setia Budi Semarang to improve student skills in independent breast examination. The BSE training activities for SMA Setia Budi Semarang students were carried out by providing counseling using the lecture and demonstration method which was held on October 15, 2019. The attendance of participants at the counseling was 47 people. The results of the activities of SMA Setia Budi Semarang students not only require information about breast cancer but also require information on women's reproductive health as a whole.

Authors: Woodhouse Ashley , Burke Madeline , Misher Anne
Published: January 2021

Purpose
Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism have historically been treated with vitamin-k antagonist therapy; however, due to well-documented limitations, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use has been increasing.(1)(2) The convenience and clinical utility of DOACs is not applicable to all patients, and some must be transitioned to warfarin therapy. Despite practice recommendations, suggestions from package inserts, and clinical trial evidence, there remains a lack of literature describing real-word examples of patient transition from DOACs to warfarin.(3–11)

Summary
All patients who were transitioned from a DOAC to warfarin from January to December 2016 and were managed by the clinic were included. Patients were excluded if the transition to warfarin did not include ≥ 2 days of DOAC overlap or if DOAC therapy was used as a bridge to surgery or procedure. St. Joseph's/Candler Health System IRB granted expedited approval and waived informed consent. Four elderly, Caucasian patients met the inclusion criteria. Four patients were successfully transitioned from a DOAC to warfarin for their atrial fibrillation, 3 were transitioned from apixaban and 1 was transitioned from rivaroxaban.

Conclusion
Overall the purpose of this retrospective, observational study was to highlight real-world management of the transition of DOACs to warfarin in an outpatient, pharmacist-led clinic.

Published: January 2021

La fertilización es una de las principales prácticas que permite incrementar la productividad del café en Colombia. Esta actividad se realiza aplicando los nutrientes a la zona de las raíces de la planta, no obstante, en algunas condiciones específicas de clima y suelos, su efectividad puede afectarse. Con el objetivo de encontrar estrategias tendientes a mejorar la efectividad de la fertilización del café, se evaluó la aplicación foliar de nutrientes como complemento a la fertilización edáfica, en cuatro localidades de la zona cafetera colombiana con suelos y características climáticas diferentes. Los tratamientos fueron aplicados 60 y 90 días después de la floración, y consistieron en el suministro foliar de nitrógeno (N), fósforo (P), potasio (K), calcio (Ca), magnesio (Mg), boro (B) y las combinaciones P-N, K-N, Ca-N, Ca-B y N-P-K. Se evaluó la producción café cereza (cc), la relación café cereza/café pergamino seco (cc/cps), el factor de rendimiento en trilla (FRT) y la absorción foliar de nutrientes. La fertilización foliar a partir de los nutrientes evaluados, dosis, épocas y fuentes de fertilizantes evaluadas no mejoraron significativamente la producción de café cereza ni la calidad física del grano (cc/cps y FRT). Con excepción del B, ninguno de los elementos aplicados vía foliar incrementó su contenido foliar en las hojas; la aplicación de B incrementó sus niveles foliares por encima de 40 mg kg-1, indicando que su aplicación con las dosis y fuentes evaluadas permite corregir esta deficiencia nutricional sin que dicha práctica derive en una toxicidad o en aumentos en producción.

Radial Profile of the Polytropic Index of Solar Wind Plasma in the Heliosphere
Authors: Livadiotis G.
Published: January 2021

We combine different measurements of the polytropic index of the proton plasma in the heliosphere: (i) near-adiabatic index in the inner heliosphere ∼1 au, (ii) subadiabatic indices in the outer heliosphere ∼20–40 au, and (iii) near-zero indices in the inner heliosheath. These observations are unified by a single theoretical model of the polytropic index throughout its radial extent in the heliosphere; the corresponding fitting reveals the decreasing trend of the polytropic index with increasing heliocentric distance R. We anticipate that with increasing R, (i) the Debye length and mean-free-path decreases; (ii) the Landau damping is less effective, transferring thus less wave energy to particles; and (iii) the collisionality degree increases, indicating that the proton plasma in the inner heliosheath might be collisionless.

Published: January 2021

Fenghwaia, a new monotypic genus, along with the new species Fenghwaia gardeniicarpa, is described from Guangdong Province, China. The combined features of inferior ovary, cylindrical drupaceous fruits and orbicular and dorsiventrally-compressed seeds with an elongate and pronounced basal appendage make the new genus significantly different from other genera of the family. In addition, its pollen morphology also showed great similarity to other species of this stenopalynous family. The molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid trnL-F intron spacer (trnL-F) DNA sequence data from the new genus and the other 375 species representing 58 genera of Rhamnaceae, indicates that Fenghwaia is nested within the ‘rhamnoid’ group and sister to the tribe Rhamneae and then both sister to the tribe Maesopsideae. A taxonomic classification key to the ‘rhamnoid’ group is provided, based on morphological characters. A global conservation assessment is also performed and classifies Fenghwaia gardeniicarpa as Near Threatened (NT).

Published: January 2021

Irrigation is an ancient practice that evolved over the years. Irrigation is the method through which a controlled amount of water is applied to plants making the most important recourse of irrigation. Earth is composed of 70% of water of which only 2.5% is fresh. Most of it trapped in snowfields and glaciers with only 0.007% of the earth's water for the needs of mankind. Limited water resources had become the main challenge in farming. In the chapter, machine learning algorithms and neural networks are used to reduce the usage of water in crop irrigation systems. This chapter focus on four mainstream machine learning calculations (KNN [k-nearest neighbor], GNB [Gauss Naive Bayes], SVM [support vector machine], DT [decision tree]) and a neural networks technique (artificial neural networks [ANN]) to expectation models utilizing the huge dataset (510 irrigation cases), bringing about productive and precise dynamic. The outcomes showed that k-nearest neighbors and artificial neural networks are the best indicators with the most elevated effectiveness of 98% and 90% respectively.
Non-convulsive status epilepticus in the immediate postoperative period following spine surgery -a case report-
Authors: Kim Kyoung Ok , Lee Teakseon , Kim Taehoon
Published: January 2021

Background: Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), in which continuous epileptiform dis-charges occur without seizure-like movement, is rare and unfamiliar to anesthesiologists, both of which make this condition overlooked in patients with decreased levels of consciousness following general anesthesia.Case: We report on an elderly female patient who developed NCSE in the immediate postoperative period after the spine surgery. Initially, delayed emergence from anesthesia was suspected, but the electroencephalogram confirmed NCSE, and anticonvulsant therapy was initiated.Conclusions: Delayed emergence is commonly attributed to cerebrovascular events or residual anes-thetic effects, but NCSE must be included in the differential diagnosis, especially in elderly pa-tients. Anticonvulsant therapy should be initiated as soon as possible for a better prognosis.
Care Worker Perceptions of Recruitment and Retention in Adult Social Care Settings
Authors:   , Pitarella Elisha
Published: January 2021

In England, the Adult Social Care (ASC) sector continues to grow and is faced with repeated scrutiny regarding the availability and effectiveness of care workers. This results in difficult challenges for organisations, such as funding demands, recruitment costs, and job satisfaction. These challenges are combined with the increasing demand to meet the needs of vulnerable adults and provide high-quality care. Some organisations have improved their delivery of care, whilst others have declined in quality as providers have struggled with the challenges they face (Care Quality Commission (CQC), 2019). These challenges are exacerbated by the high turnover in staffing levels. Although organisations have processes in place, such as exit interviews, there appears to be a lack of clear identification of the causes of turnover in ASC settings. This research study contributes to the debate on how to improve recruitment and retention in ASC settings. This research takes a qualitative approach and seeks to highlight key factors affecting recruitment and retention issues through the views and experiences of care workers to consider strategies to improve the workforce and quality of care for vulnerable adults. This thesis presents findings from semi-structured interviews with present care workers and managers from 2019-2020 working in residential care homes, domiciliary care providers and supported accommodation. The research identified that individual personalities, pay, training, management, and organisational practices are all influential to care worker satisfaction.

Published: January 2021

Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) is a drought tolerant fruit crop and well adapted to sub-tropical to tropical climates. Seasonal pruning in jujube is essential to sustain the plants as productive with quality fruits because flowers and fruits are borne on young shoots of current season’s growth. This experiment was initiated and accomplished during 2016-18 to assess appropriate extent of pruning in various cultivars of Indian jujube with regard to productivity and fruit quality. Four cultivars of jujube i.e., Dehli Sufaid, Pak White, Umran and Alu Bukhara were subjected to four pruning levels i.e. no pruning, 25%, 50% and 75% pruning by removing unproductive, over-crowded secondary and tertiary branches leaving 3/4 (light), 1/2 (medium) and 1/4 (severe pruning) portion of branch intact with main limb, respectively. Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications and statistically analysed in 2-factors factorial way. Pak White initiated new growth earlier (39 days), produced maximum branches per plant (77), shoots (15), panicles (63) and fruits (90) per branch, heavier (38 g) and bulky fruits (44 cm3), with minimum fruit drop (13%), higher yield (184 kg) per plant and fruits carrying the maximum pulp ratio (90%), total soluble solids (16 °Brix), vitamin C content (121 mg /100 g pulp) and total sugars (5.7%). Fifty percent pruning level proved more judicious in all jujube cultivars. Pak White performed the best when subjected to 50% pruning level for all the parameters under study as calculated by interaction between two factors.
SCHOOL MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT EFFECTIVENESS OF PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS AMONG GOVERNING BOARDS IN OYO STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Femi AKINWUMI , Bolanle OPADEYE
Published: January 2021

It has been observed that management of Public Secondary Schools (PSSs) usually requests and waits for funds and other resources from either the state or federal government for effective running of the public schools. This has brought about ineffectiveness of public schools due to long waiting of resources. However, studies have been conducted on Management Effectiveness (ME) with other variables but none of these studies were able to consider school monitoring in relation to ME. Based on this, the study investigated school monitoring as a major correlate of management effectiveness among governing boards of public secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria using correlational survey design. Population of this study comprised 5,643 members of School Governing Boards (SGBs) in 627 rural and urban PSSs in Oyo State. A total of 1585 SGBs members was selected using systematic random sampling. Data obtained through self-constructed questionnaire was subjected to quantitative analysis using frequency count, percentage and independent t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that state of ME (human, financial and material resources) was found to be low in PSSs. Level of PSSs monitored by SGBs in Oyo State, Nigeria was considered to be high. School location has significant effect on ME and school monitoring system. Appropriate monitoring system should be ensured to effectively manage the available human, financial and material resources in PSSs by the school governing boards that would create significant impetus on the quality of the public secondary school system in Oyo State, Nigeria.

Authors: MULIYANA ARIFUDIN  , WAHYUDI
Published: January 2021

This research highlights diversity of macro-features and density of major timber species from Papua. Thirty-one species of air-dried timber with sample size of 13 cm × 6 cm × 4 cm gathered across Papua were used for density measurement and macro-features observation, cover of colors, grain orientation, and wood texture. The results showed that whitish and straw to yellow brown are dominant color of timber mostly harvested from Papua tropical forest. Their grain orientations are mostly straight, while their textures are medium. With regard to their density, Xantostemum spp is the heaviest timber having density of 1,25 g/cm3 while Alstonia scholaris is the lightest species of timber with density of 0.29 g/cm3. Therefore, majority Papua`s timber species studied are classified into light class species or low density timbers. Pulp and paper, veneer, plywood, flooring, meubels, indoor urnitures and handles or woody utensils are the potential uses of these timber species.
Spatial Memory in Hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus):Depleting/replenishing Environments and Pre-choiceBehaviors in the Radial Arm Maze
Authors: Rojas-Leguizamón Maryed , Yáñez Nataly , Cabrera Felipe
Published: January 2021

Rodents’ spatial memory is traditionally assessed in the radial arm-maze (RAM). An accurate response pattern in the RAM is described as the tendency to visit a new arm after each choice (i.e. win-shift strategy). When this response pattern is found, it is said that the animal remembers the places visited. In the present experiment, 12 hamsters were assessed in the RAM under two conditions: the depleting condition, in which feeders were not rebaited after each visit; and the replenishing condition, in which, feeders were rebaited. We registered the number of new arms visited (hits), the time spent in the central area of the maze, and the behaviors emitted in the central area before each arm choice. Results showed that, regardless of condition, animals were significantly more likely to visit new arms. However, more pre-choice behaviors and a longer center time were observed in the depleting condition than in the replenishing one. It is discussed that hamsters have a win-shift strategy for hoarding behavior even when they do not need to remember the places visited, though they exhibited more pre-choice behaviors when searching for food in the depleting condition.
Capuchin (Sapajus [Cebus] apella) Change Detection
Authors: Leinwand Jesse G. , Brosnan Sarah F.
Published: January 2021

Change blindness is a phenomenon in which individuals fail to detect seemingly obvious changes in their visual fields. Like humans, several animal species have also been shown to exhibit change blindness; however, no species of New World monkey has been tested to date. Nine capuchins (Sapajus [Cebus] apella) were trained to select whether or not a stimulus changed on a computerized task. In four phases of testing, consisting of full image changes, subtle occlusion changes, and two levels of feature location changes, the search display and mask durations were systematically varied to determine whether capuchins experienced change blindness and in what contexts. Only the full image change test yielded significant results, with subjects detecting changes most accurately with longer search displays and, perplexingly, least accurately when there was no mask. No interactions between search display and mask durations were found in any test phase, suggesting that the relationship between the two parameters may not be important to how capuchins perceive changes. While it is possible that capuchins do not experience change blindness, we suspect that a mix of experimental design, the difficulty of the task, and the inability to verify how closely the subjects attended to each trial contributed to the lack of significant results

Differences in social representations about school of pupils with and without behavior disorders
Authors: Dău-Gașpar Oana
Published: January 2021

The research is based on the premise that social representations are both a form of acknowledging the reality and clues on bow one is interpreting that reality. In this respect, we presume the existence of certain differences between the social representation about school of pupils without any behavior disorders and those with this kind of disorders. Such differences are proved by the current study. The results show that pupils with behavior disorders are likely to associate with school rather negative elements, such as boredom, fatigue, tests, while the social representation of the pupils without behavior disorders is mostly centered on positive elements, such as play, beauty or cleanliness. These findings have implications upon the differentiated psychopedagogical strategy used to work with children with behavior disorders in comparison with those without such disorders.

Voluntary tax-compliance from SME’s is considered as major risk area by the tax-collection authorities of both developing and developed countries, authorities from both desire to bring individuals belonging to SME’s to pay taxes on a voluntary basis, in order to generate higher revenues for their governments. Thus, data was collected from the owners of SME’s of both countries through a questionnaire, data thus collected was analysed using SPSS and PLS-Smart. The results suggested that voluntary tax-compliance can be achieved by building a mutual trust relation and by exercising legitimate use of power by the tax authorities, results also signify that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, attitude towards taxes and moral obligation are also key factors in determining the voluntary tax-compliance behaviour as suggested by Kirchler,  Hoelzl and Wahl,  (2008). Also, this article tests the mediating role of the intention of building positive voluntary tax-compliance behaviour as suggested by Ajzen (1991). This study is an important contribution in literature as it incorporates data from two countries, Pakistan (a developing nation) and Turkey (that is making its mark in the list of developed countries). This research work can be further extended by incorporating comparative analysis among the business owners belonging to developed, semi-developed and developing countries.

The diabetes classification system is very useful in the health sector. This paper discusses the classification system for diabetes using the K-Means algorithm. The Pima Indian Diabetes (PID) dataset is used to train and evaluate this algorithm. The unbalanced value range in the attributes affects the quality of the classification result, so it is necessary to preprocess the data which is expected to improve the accuracy of the PID dataset classification result. Two types of preprocessing methods are used that are min-max normalization and z-score normalization. These two normalization methods are used and the classification accuracies are compared. Before the data classification process is carried out, the data is divided into training data and test data. The result of the classification test using the K-Means algorithm has shown that the best accuracy lies in the PID dataset which has been normalized using the min-max normalization method, which 79% compared to z-score normalization.

Kemiskinan merupakan satu fenomena yang dialami oleh seseorang individu tanpa kerelaan dan kehendak mereka. Kemiskinan boleh dikategorikan kepada dua jenis iaitu material dan bukan material. Miskin material terdiri daripada miskin pendapatan dan bukan pendapatan iaitu pendidikan, akses kepada kesihatan, pekerjaan dan kemudahan awam. Manakala miskin bukan material ialah berkait berkenaan ciri-ciri sahsiah seperti emosi, psikologi dan rohani. Kesemua keadaan yang berlaku ini menyebabkan seseorang yang miskin mengalami kesukaran untuk keluar dari situasi kemiskinan sekiranya tiada tindakan yang dilakukan oleh pihak bertanggungjawab. Pengukuran kemiskinan adalah langkah awal dalam mengenal pasti golongan miskin. Terdapat dua jenis iaitu pengukuran kemiskinan undimensi yang melihat kemiskinan dari sudut pendapatan sahaja dan pengukuran kemiskinan multidimensi yang melihat pada aspek holistik serta kemanusiaan. Terdapat banyak kelemahan pada pengukuran unidimensi kerana ia hanya mengukur kemiskinan dari perspektif pendapatan sahaja. Hal ini sudah tentulah tidak komprehensif dalam pengenalpastian golongan yang miskin. Oleh itu pengukuran kemiskinan multidimensi akan diterokai bagi memahami dengan lebih lanjut seperti perbezaannya dengan pengukuran unidimensi dan mengapakah Indeks Kemiskinan Multidimensi (IKM) adalah pengukur kemiskinan yang paling sesuai lagi berkesan. Kajian ini menggunakan data sekunder sebagai metodologi kajian. Hasil kajian ini dijangka bukan sahaja boleh mengetahui berapa ramai yang miskin dan peratusannya, malahan kita juga boleh mengetahui dimensi penyumbang utama kepada masalah kemiskinan. Melalui pengukuran ini, sesuatu program atau pemberian insentif dapat disalurkan dengan tepat kepada kumpulan sasaran.
