Published: November 2023

As the next generation of the nation, toddlers need healthy food for optimal growth and development, as well as to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases as adults. However, there are several things that prevent toddlers from getting balanced nutrition. One of them is low economic problems, lack of supporting facilities, and lack of public awareness of the fulfillment of nutrition in toddlers.
The purpose of this program is to increase public awareness of toddler health as well as family economic management by providing counseling on how to make nutritious food for toddlers. In addition, this program also seeks to optimize the ability of related support systems, namely the role of posyandu, as a community empowerment function. The service method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR) with five main steps, namely identifying partners and analyzing needs, counseling on the fulfillment of toddler nutrition and cooking demonstrations, mentoring and monitoring, providing raw materials and equipment, as well as evaluation and further development.
The output of community service activities is an increase in community understanding, implementation of raw material management, providing education on healthy food consumption habits. In addition, the results of this service are also the material for published articles. Based on the community service activities carried out, the understanding of the community shown by the understanding of the mothers increased based on the comparison of the results of the pre and post tests conducted. The desire to implement knowledge from the counseling results is also quite high. Education related to healthy food habits is also carried out during counseling and other educational media.

Authors: Giap Vu Dinh , Van Do Thi Cam , Duy Vu Dinh , Dung Vu Kim , Ha Nguyen Thi Hai
Published: November 2023

In recent years, both scientists and food producers have shown great interest in natural compounds with high biological activity. Leaves of Cleisto (Cleistocalyx operculatus Roxb) contain polyphenolic compounds with high biological activity, including flavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, tannins, and other phenolic compounds. These compounds are highly beneficial for human health due to their potent antioxidant activity and various other biological activities. These polyphenols play a crucial role in protecting the body against various diseases caused by free radicals. They have the ability to prevent cellular and DNA damage. Polyphenols derived from mulberry leaves have significant potential for the production of high-value functional foods. In this study, the total polyphenol content, and antioxidant activity of leaves of Cleisto were studied. These bioactive compounds were shown to be more abundant in the dried extract of Cleisto than in the control sample (enzymes inactivated) following 21 hour of incubation with laccase and celluclast® 1.5L (each enzyme at least 30 U/gram dry biomass) at 45oC, pH 5.0. The highest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity achieved was 23.95 mg GAE/gds and 80.32%, respectively. Therefore, enzyme-assisted extraction technique has various benefits and is a potential method to obtain bioactive chemicals from leaves of Cleisto.

Published: November 2023

Berdasarkan data Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) 2018, prevalensi penyakit jantung koroner sebagai etiologi utama sindrom koroner akut (SKA) di Indonesia sebesar 1,5%. Sekitar 5,4% pasien dengan penyakit arteri koroner (PAD) dan 0,9% pasien dengan SKA didiagnosis dengan trombositopenia. Menurut American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) dan European Society of Cardiology (ESC), pemberian dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) yang terdiri dari aspirin dan antagonis reseptor P2Y12 adalah komponen mendasar dari manajemen SKA. Selain itu, terapi definitif berupa intervensi koroner perkutan (IKP), harus disertai dengan kombinasi obat antiplatelet dan antikoagulan untuk mencegah pembentukan trombus di lokasi intervensi koroner. Studi melaporkan bahwa trombositopenia yang diinduksi agen antiplatelet berkorelasi dengan mortalitas dan komorbiditas jangka pendek dan jangka panjang yang lebih tinggi pada pasien dengan SKA. Pada pasien dengan SKA dan trombositopenia, manajemen terapi pemberian antiplatelet masih sulit untuk dipertimbangkan dan saat ini tidak ada pedoman rekomendasi atau laporan konsensus untuk memandu dokter tentang manajemen pada kelompok ini. Oleh karena itu, kami berusaha untuk menjelaskan dari berbagai macam studi literatur tentang penggunaan DAPT pada pasien SKA dengan trombositopenia.

Authors: Sadiq Benasir Banu Mohamed , Baghavandoss Evangeline Priscilla
Published: November 2023

Objective: Queer Studies as a literary space explores the lives of non-heterosexual individuals. It developed as a literal theory in the 1990s with Terresa De Lauretis from her work Queer Theory Lesbian and Gay Sexuality. As the study develops, it covers the varied history of social acceptance faced by homosexuality in many cultures through a wide range of theories and concepts. Children’s literature profoundly shapes individuals from a young age and alludes to whose stories matter in a social setting.

 

Result: Understanding queer studies in children’s literature would provide an extensive picture of representation, equality, and perceptibility, highlighting their difficulties and struggles, coping strategies, and even validation for the queer community.

 

Method: On the same note, the researcher is aware that discussing queerness among children is sensitive; therefore, the paper will traverse through certain conjectures, such as the history of queer studies, Queer Law, the history of queer studies in children’s literature through cartoons, the political problems of studying queer people, and queer delineation among children in contemporary society.

 

Conclusion: Through these trajectories, the research aims to understand queer law and sustainable representation as part of human rights amongst queer children in America.
Cauchy Problem for a Singularly Perturbed Delay Equation
Authors: Levashova N. T. , Mikheev N. A.
Published: November 2023

In the study, the Cauchy problem for a singularly perturbed first-order ordinary differential equation is
considered, with, generally speaking, a nonlinear right-hand side that depends not only on the desired
function but also on this same function taken with a time delay. The problem under consideration
is singularly perturbed due to the presence of a small parameter in front of the time derivative. For
such problems, solutions that possess a large gradient in the vicinity of the initial time moment and
in the vicinity of the moment equal to the delay time are typical. The aim of the work is to construct
an asymptotic approximation and to prove the existence of a smooth solution to the problem.

Keribang tubers are a prospective local food and can be used as food for claims and food diversification. Anthocyanins from keribang tubers can be processed into food products, one of them is made into jam. Jam is a food product with a gel consistency, therefore a thickening agent such as Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC) is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding CMC and heating time as well as the best combination to the physicochemical characteristics of keribang tuber jam. This research design used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two treatment factors, consisting of 3 treatments of CMC (0.5%; 0.75%; and 1%) and 2 treatments of heating time (15 minutes and 20 minutes), with 4 replications. Parameters observed were water content, total polyphenols, total dissolved solids, antioxidant activity, smearing power, and organoleptic tests. The best treatment was tested using the effectiveness index test. The results showed that CMC concentration treatment and heating time did not significantly affect the water content, total dissolved solids content, antioxidant activity, and spread ability, but significant on the total polyphenol content value in keribang tubers jam. The organoleptic test showed that the panelists preferred the keribang tubers jam with a CMC concentration of 0.5% and a heating time of 15 minutes in terms of color and texture. Based on the effectiveness index test, the best treatment for keribang tubers jam was 1% CMC concentration and 20 minutes of heating time
Analysis of Pharmaceutical Plant Location Design in Cities
Authors: Gao Yuze
Published: November 2023

In the contemporary era, heightened by China’s advancing national prowess and improved living standards, health concerns have gained prominence in societal discourse. While medicine is instrumental in preserving health, the impact of pollution from pharmaceutical processes, particularly wastewater, poses health risks. Consequently, judiciously siting pharmaceutical plants assumes paramount importance. China is currently in the nascent stage of pharmaceutical plant location, lacking a comprehensive practice. Selecting an appropriate site efficiently remains a critical challenge. This paper advocates the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a superior method for this purpose. Considering environmental and economic factors, it introduces indicators like environmental functional zoning, sensitivity, traffic, meteorological disasters, and local economic development. The AHP model quantitatively analyzes these factors, determining optimal locations through weight distribution and consistency indicators. This approach offers a systematic framework for pharmaceutical plant location planning.

Protoplasts Isolation from Sardinian Germoplasm of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.)
Authors: Scarpa G. M.
Published: November 2023

Genetic studies of saffron indicate low heritability and strong environmental effects for most of the traits examined, suggesting local variability that has been selected over time. In vitro culture can be of support for genetic improvement programs, multiplication, or production of secondary metabolites. This is particularly relevant for saffron due to its triploidy. In the present work, the in vitro culture of Sardinian genotypes of saffron, using protoplasts, is described. Protoplasts were obtained from young leaves using a KAO enzyme mixture and cultured on KM8P substrate. The use of Evans et al. enzymes did not result in the production of protoplasts. The results presented in this work should be considered as the initial phase in the in vitro production of secondary metabolites obtained from local saffron genotypes.

Authors: Tari Tamás , Takács Attila , Kovács Márk Ferenc
Published: November 2023

Hungary's motorway network has developed significantly over the past twenty years. These developments have increased the length of fenced roads, which also means increased habitat fragmentation effects. Wildlife crossings have been built on new sections to reduce isolation caused by roads. This study examined 57 wildlife overpasses using satellite imagery. We determined the internal and overall widths of the crossings, their total length and the length of the noise barriers, as well as the width-to-length ratio. The crossings were classified according to ramp design, noise barrier material and noise barrier run-down. In addition, a surface cover map was used to examine landscape features within 500 m of the crossings and evaluate the crossings' placement. Our results show that the average width of the overpass corridor was 14.4 m. The width-to-length ratio was 0.16. Based on this, we concluded that the wildlife crossings in Hungary could be classified as narrow crossings. There was also considerable variation in design characteristics, with the crossings studied not being uniform in either ramp design or noise barrier characteristics. The results of the placement's landscape characterisation indicate that many overpasses in agricultural areas are particularly favourable for roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).

Perbandingan Hasil Glukosa Metode Carik Celup Sebelum Dan Sesudah Mengonsumsi Vitamin C 500 Mg Pada Penderita Diabetes Melitus Tipe 2
Authors: Adriansyah  , Irwadi Didi , Anggrieni Nurul
Published: November 2023

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and is naturally present in food. Humans cannot synthesize vitamin C, so it must be obtained from outside and food as the main source. However, taking vitamin C before a urine glucose test can cause a false positive result for some people. The purpose of this study was to analyze the comparison of the results of urine glucose levels using the strip dip method before and after consuming 500 mg vitamin C in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This type of research is pre-experimental with a One-group pre-post test design that assesses the causal relationship with the intervention, namely the consumption of Vitamin C in urine samples that have previously been examined for urine glucose. The population in this study were type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who were treated at the Harapan Baru Health Center and the sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 33 samples. This research was conducted at the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory of the East Kalimantan Ministry of Health Polytechnic. The results of the examination of 33 respondents showed that the percentage of results had increased by 84.5%. The normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk statistical test showed that it was significant before and after consuming vitamin C of 0.000. This shows that these values are not normally distributed. The Wilcoxon statistical test showed a significant value of 0.000 with a significance level of 0.05, i.e. 0.000 <0.05, so it can be concluded that there was an increase in glucose results for urine chemistry examination by dipping method after consuming 500 mg of vitamin C in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Daubert and the Effect on Biological Profile Research
Authors: Lesciotto Kate M.
Published: November 2023

As a core component of casework, methods for estimating the biological profile must meet current legal standards to be admissible as part of a forensic anthropologist’s expert witness testimony. Since the 1993 US Supreme Court Daubert decision, forensic anthropologists have voiced concern that methods relying on subjective or qualitative data might now be at risk of judicial exclusion. This research used a bibliometric approach to assess whether current forensic anthropology research has shifted toward the use of more objective and/or quantitative data. Forensic anthropology articles published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences between 1972 and 2020 were reviewed (n = 1,142), with data collected on each article’s topic, use of different data types, and inclusion of observer error studies. A subset of articles focusing on methods for estimating the four main parameters of the biological profile (age, sex, ancestry/population affinity, stature) was analyzed using chi-square tests for trend in proportions. Age and sex estimation articles showed a significant shift toward more quantitative data (p < 0.001), although no biological profile subtopic showed a significant shift toward more objective data. While this may seem to be a surprising result, a deeper review of current legal standards and standards of practice suggests that Daubert does not require significant changes to how forensic anthropologists approach research design and method development. So long as the principles of good science are followed, the continued reliance on qualitative data should not be a concern from the standpoint of evidentiary admissibility.
Mediales Heilen in Deutschland
Authors: Voss Ehler
Published: November 2023

Nach modernem Selbstverständnis handelt es sich bei dem Glauben an Geister um Relikte aus vergangenen Zeiten. Diese würden zwangsläufig mit einer fortschreitenden Zivilisierung verschwinden. Aus dieser Perspektive wirkt es zunächst überraschend, wenn auch Menschen in einem hochtechnisierten Land wie Deutschland Hilfe und Heilung in einer 'Geistigen Welt' suchen. Dies wird meist als rückständig, lächerlich oder als Hinnahme eines bewussten Betruges gedeutet. Ehler Voss zeichnet in seiner Ethnographie ein differenzierteres Bild und lässt Heilerinnen und Heiler ausführlich zu Wort kommen. Die Interaktionen einzelner Akteure und Kontexte Medialen Heilens werden ausführlich beschrieben. Er folgt dabei nicht einem einheitlichen Schema, sondern arbeitet die unterschiedlichen Besonderheiten der Heilerinnen und Heiler sowie ihrer jeweiligen Situation heraus und unterzieht sie einer eingehenden ethnologischen Analyse. Der Verfasser eröffnet so tiefe und vielschichtige Einblicke in die Eigenarten, Themen, Motivationen, (Un-)Sicherheiten, (Un-)Fertigkeiten und Widersprüche im Umgang mit Eigenem und Fremdem und stellt damit die Frage nach der menschlichen Identität.
Ethik des Krieges
Authors: Gisbertz-Astolfi Philipp
Published: November 2023

‘War is hell’—and that is precisely why an ethical examination of it is so important. This textbook discusses the ethical questions that arise in connection with war: What are the conditions under which waging a war should be allowed? What is one allowed to do in war and what not? And when and how must a war be ended? An examination of these questions not only deepens our understanding of this highly relevant field of ethics, but at the same time offers numerous general insights into the discipline as a whole. The book knowledgeably presents the most important academic debates on the ethics of war, especially for students and researchers, but also for all others seeking insights into this subject.
Skeletal Muscle Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis
Authors: Srpčič Anja , Urzi Felicita , Markez Sanja , Pirkmajer Sergej , Brezovec Neža , Lakota Katja , Perdan Pirkmajer Katja
Published: November 2023

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune connective tissue disease with great clinical and pathogenetic heterogeneity. Although skin is the most visible organ affected, skeletal muscles are affected in up to 96% of SSc patients and this is associated with a worse clinical outcome including increased mortality. Muscle involvement varies from patients experiencing myalgias, fibrosing myopathy to overlaps of SSc and myositis, a condition referred to as scleromyositis. In SSc muscle biopsies, muscular fibrosis, inflammation, microangiopathy and atrophy are observed, which is consistent with most prominent SSc pathophysiologic processes. The damage and fibrosis of the muscle tissue and the reduced ability of the body to build and repair muscle lead to a loss of muscle mass and strength. Studies show that patients with SSc have a higher prevalence of myopenia than the general population, but the exact cause is not yet fully understood. Partially, this phenomenon could be attributed to the disrupted activity of fibro-adipogenic progenitors, driven by alterations in the skeletal muscle microenvironment of SSc patients. These changes are also reflected in shifts in myokine secretion.

Medical students experience significant psychological stress and are therefore at higher risk of using sedatives. This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence and knowledge of sedative drug self-medication practice among medical students at the University of Dongola. Methods: A university-based cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students at the University of Dongola. Data was collected using pretested, self-administered questionnaires developed by the researchers after intensive searching and expert consultation. A total of 248 students were selected by the nonprobability-convenient sampling technique. Results: Sedative drug self-medication prevalence was 41.1% among medical students. The main reasons for practicing sedative drug self-medication were sleep disorders, allergies, saving time, and stress. Moreover, 54.8% of participants have knowledge about sedative drugs. The most common sources of information about sedative drugs were pharmacists (38.23%), doctors (36.27%), friends (10.78%), and family (8.82%). The most commonly utilized sedative drugs were anti-allergic (19.8%), antitussives (18.1%), diazepam (7.2%), thiopental (3.6%), and alprazolam (2.4%). Furthermore, 68.5% of participants accept that sedative drugs could be harmful and are associated with adverse effects.

Büyük sanatkârlar bazen Allah mefhumunu, mütefekkirin yaratıcıya ilişkin bakış açısını yansıtan tasvirler yolu ile açıklar. Kavramsal istiare kuramı, bu tasvir ve tasavvurlarda gizli olan bakış açılarını açığa çıkarmak için uygun bir araçtır. Bu çalışma, Mesnevi’de Hakk’a yönelik kullanılmış olan kavramsal istiareleri incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Zira Allah tasviri ve tasavvurunu anlamak için birçok bakış açısından faydalanan Mesnevi'deki ilah istiarelerini incelemek, Mesnevi'de yer alan Allah kavramının bir başka gizli yönünü bizler için aşikâr hale getirebilir. Daha açık ve daha düzenli sonuçlara ulaşılması amacıyla Mostafa Malekian’ın Allah tasavvurları sınıflamasından yararlanılmaya ve tasavvurların tanımlı olup olmadıkları incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın yönteminde ana istiarelerden sonra ikincil istiareler ve bu istiareleri havi ilişkiler açıklanmış daha sonra Mostafa Malekian tasnifi ile tatbik edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Mesnevi’deki ilah tasavvurunun bazen tanımlandığını bazen ise tanımlanmadığını göstermektedir. Hazret-i Mevlâna’nın Hak ile ilgili tasavvurlarının çoğu insan-biçimci bir kimliğe sahiptir. Hazret, Allah’ı tasvir ederken bir yandan insan-biçimci ve diğer yandan gayri insan-biçimci ikili istiarelerden de yararlanmıştır.
