Authors: Rahmiati Retnani , Rahayu Winiati P , Budiarti Sri
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Listeria spp. in fresh shrimp in Bogor, Indonesia, and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of isolated Listeria spp. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed. A total of 25 samples of fresh shrimp were obtained from randomly selected traditional markets (n = 18) and modern markets (n = 7). The results revealed that 14 samples (56.0%) were positive for Listeria spp. Among them, 11 (78.6%) and 3 (21.4%) were selected from traditional markets and modern markets, respectively. Thirty-six isolates, which upon biochemical characterization included 1 (2.8%) Listeria innocua, 26 (72.2%) Listeria grayi, 1 (2.8%) Listeria welshimeri, and 8 (22.2%) Listeria-like strains, were identified. The most common isolates were L. grayi, while the least common were L. innocua and L. welshimeri. The disk diffusion assay determined the susceptibility of the 36 strains to 10 commercial antibiotics. In general, 100% of the 36 isolated Listeria spp. were resistant to amoxicillin and nebacetin, and almost 100% were susceptible to chloramphenicol. However, antibiotic multiple resistance (AMR) was observed, with all Listeria strains resistant to more than two antibiotics. No isolate was resistant to only one antibiotic. The present study provides the first baseline data on the prevalence of Listeria spp. in fresh shrimp in Indonesia and the susceptibility of these isolates to antibiotics.

The purpose of this study is to analyze by discussing the protection of cultural knowledge seen from Law No. 5 of 2017, which at the time of the case in decision 823/K/Pid.Sus/2009 occurred where Law No. 5 of 2017 had not been passed. Indonesian society is a communal society, where there is a lack of awareness in protecting traditional culture. The emergence of various problems related to the Protection of Intellectual Property in Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expression has made the public begin to realize the importance of Intellectual Property Law itself. In this study, the researcher uses a normative juridical law research method, namely reviewing and studying literature, legislation related to Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expression by conducting a Law and Literature approach by analyzing secondary data through literature such as books, journals, articles and laws and regulations related to Traditional Knowledge. As a result, Decision No. 823/K/Pid.Sus/2009 showed that judges lacked understanding of traditional knowledge, which at that time had not been specifically regulated and only through the Patent Law, Trademark Law, and Copyright Law. Public awareness of Intellectual Property Rights is also low, leading to legal uncertainty. Law No. 5 of 2017 provides protection for traditional cultural knowledge and expressions, such as arts and customs, with the state obliged to carry out inventory, maintenance, and preservation. This law also emphasizes the importance of public legal awareness in its enforcement.

Building construction is always undergoing rework. This can happen due to design errors, the application of work methods that are not in accordance with procedures, or lack of supervision during the construction process. In previous studies, the factors that cause rework include design, management, resources, and the environment. This study analyzes how these factors have an impact on the quality of performance in the implementation of construction projects. Construction projects in Denpasar City are the subject of quantitative and qualitative research. Data was collected through interviews, brainstorming, and questionnaires with experts. With the purposive sampling method, respondents are selected based on predetermined criteria. SmartPLS 3.0 software is used to process the data through the analysis of the average square. The test results show that design, management, resources, and environment affect the quality of construction project implementation performance by 94.40 percent; Outside of the study, this influence was 5.60 percent. With an initial sample value (O) of 0.401, management was the most influential rework factor on the quality of project execution performance, compared to 0.226 for design, 0.261 for resources, and 0.222 for the environment. Therefore, contractors must have the ability to improve management functions during the construction project execution process so that they can reduce the amount of work that has to be done again at a later date.

Authors:   Lecturer at Rokhan Institute of Higher Education, Medical Faculty, Jalalabad City, Nangarhar, Afghanistan, Rahatullah Haidari Said
Published: June 2024

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. This paper aim was to provide an overview of recent advancements in the treatment of IBS, focusing on the management of its main symptoms: diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. For individuals with IBS-D, various therapeutic options are available, including rifaximin, peripheral opioid agonists, mixed opioid agonists/antagonists, bile acid sequestrants, and serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. Rifaximin, a nonabsorbable antibiotic, has demonstrated significant effectiveness in reducing IBS symptoms, such as bloating and loose stools, with good tolerability and safety. Also the repeated use of rifaximin for managing recurrent IBS symptoms. In IBS-C patients, bulking agents, osmotic laxatives, and prokinetic agents like lubiprostone have shown efficacy in improving constipation and overall symptoms. Linaclotide, a drug that increases intestinal chloride secretion, has demonstrated significant improvement in bowel movements and abdominal pain in IBS-C patients. However, it may cause diarrhea in some individuals. IBS-M, characterized by alternating constipation and diarrhea, poses a challenge in terms of specific drug treatments. A comprehensive assessment of potential underlying causes and careful history taking is crucial for effective management. Abdominal pain is a common symptom in IBS, regardless of subtype. Antispasmodic drugs, peppermint oil, and trimebutine have shown effectiveness in reducing pain and improving symptoms. Antidepressants, such as tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, may offer relief by modulating pain pathways and influencing gastrointestinal motility. Benzodiazepines, particularly dextofisopam, have shown potential in improving stool consistency but require further evaluation. In conclusion, recent advancements in the treatment of IBS have provided a range of therapeutic options targeting its main symptoms. However, further research is needed to develop tailored treatments for specific IBS subtypes and to explore the efficacy of potential alternatives, including benzodiazepines. Improved management of IBS symptoms can significantly enhance the quality of life for affected individuals.

Published: June 2024

The phenomenon of autocratic legalism has permeated democratic institutions in Indonesia. This is marked by the executive, legislative, and judicial power holders using the people's trust to achieve goals that contradict constitutionalism, acting covertly and hiding behind the law. The institutions weakened include the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Constitutional Court (MK), and the House of Representatives (DPR). This study aims to understand how the phenomenon of autocratic legalism occurs in these three institutions and what steps should be taken to prevent and address this phenomenon. The research method used is normative legal research. The results of this study indicate that autocratic legalism refers to the actions of individuals who use the law to legitimize their power. This is evident in several policies issued by the three institutions in Indonesia. This phenomenon of autocratic legalism can actually be resolved through institutional action and addressed with legal and ethical enforcement, and its prevention through improved oversight systems, recruitment, and legal education.

This cohort comprised four centers (age = 20.01 ± 1.31 years, height on website = 216.32 ± 5.27 cm, body mass on plates = 115.11 ± 16.13 kg), 37 forwards (age = 21.09 ± 1.68 years, height on website = 203.84 ± 5.45 cm, body mass on plates = 103.67 ± 10.42), and 55 guards (age = 20.92 ± 1.54 years, height on website = 190.49 ± 7.44 cm, body mass on plates = 87.04 ± 6.98 kg) from seven teams that performed three CMJ trials with hands on hips during the pre-season period of the 2023-2024 season over a span of 26 days and seven testing sites. All data was uniformly collected by a single designated tester who implemented consistent instructions, procedures, and equipment at all test sites. Comparing forwards and guards, 45% (18/40) of the reported metrics showed significance (p < 0.05) and 35% (14/40) yielded moderate-large effect sizes (e.g., > 0.50). Additionally, percentiles (3-97th) with qualitative descriptors and a traffic light system were provided. Such normative data can serve as a valuable reference point for coaches, scouts, and players alike, facilitating the evaluation of both individual and team performance while also guiding the development of tailored strength and conditioning strategies specific to the demands of NCAA DI MCBB.

Names of Fruit and Vegetables with Person and Nation Names Borrowed from Turkish to Other Languages
Authors: Yücel Doğan , Arslan Kenan , Duran Sevda
Published: June 2024

In many languages, names are derived from the person who introduced it for the first time, the person who cultivated it for the first time, and the geography where it originally grew. Some names have gained an international identity and have become known in many languages of the world. It is possible to see plant, food, animal and similar names both taken into Turkish and borrowed from Turkish with the names of person and nation. In this context, firstly, examples of such words were given in the study, and then borrowings from Turkish were scanned in terms of subject. As a result of the scanning, 59 fruit and vegetable names in 15 different languages were compiled. The density of the names and the languages in which they are found are shown. The compilation list was subsequently interpreted. It has been determined that in Turkish, fruits and vegetables are given different titles such as bey, pasha, lady, hanım, sultan, rather than the names of individuals and nations. Scans were made using the document analysis method. The aim of the research is to obtain an idea about how word exchanges occur with the languages that Turkish is in contact with, through the names of fruits and vegetables. In addition, it is aimed to show the amount and distribution density of these names borrowed or transferred from Turkish to other languages.

Published: June 2024

The study examined the challenges of fuel subsidy removal on academic engagements of undergraduates in public universities in south-east Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population of the study was 268,340 students from 10 public universities in South-East Nigeria. The sample comprises of 1000 undergraduates in the universities. The sample was composed using the simple random sampling and purposive sampling technique. Data collected were analyzed using mean. Findings from the study indicates the ways in which fuel subsidy removal affects the education performance of students in these universities are very negative, and they include lack of adequate funds to manage the universities, poor academic results from students, lack of interest by teaching staffs, lack of interest in learning by students, rape, untimely death by cohabitation, unwanted pregnancy, cyber fraud, poor pay for lecturers and lack of research funding for lecturers. Furthermore, the study found that the ways to mitigate this effect of fuel subsidy removal include increasing lecturers pay, introducing student loan, making accessible research grants, introducing free education in Nigeria universities, introducing free transportation in universities, introducing free feeding school programs, and flexible car and house loans. The study therefore recommends that government must put into consideration of the consequences of their policies on students before promulgating sit, and at such, must role out palliatives that must cushion the harsh effect of subsidy removal on students in other to avoid a serious social and moral crisis that is imminent.

Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) face various challenges in decision-making that can impact their organizational performance. Overcoming these challenges requires institutions to adapt and make use of tools and strategies to not only preserve their current relevance but also foster future growth. Management accounting strategies, which involve the deliberate, planned use of accounting techniques, tools, and approaches for decision-making and organizational performance, play a crucial role in assisting higher educational institutions’ decision-making by providing relevant financial and non-financial information. This study aimed to examine the extent of the use of management accounting strategies as a tool for decision-making in higher educational institutions, the extent to which management accounting strategies have helped management in decision-making, and the contingent factors that affect its use. The study employed a descriptive-comparative-correlational approach to answer the extent use of management accounting strategies (MAS) and determine if there is a significant difference among the profile variables and if there is a significant relationship among the contingent factors. Research findings indicate that HEIs in Nueva Vizcaya employ strategies; however, the extent of their utilization appears to be moderate, as some selectively use costing systems. The results of the profile variables were not significant when it comes to the use of management accounting strategies (MAS) and there was a very high extent to which management accounting strategies have helped management in decision-making. There arenalso of management accounting strategies (MAS) and contingent factors such as market competition, qualified internal accountants, management participation, and organizational technology. The study,just like past studies, encountered a limitation in terms of the number of respondents, which may have implications for the generalizability of the findings. Overall, there is a positive result in the use of management accounting strategies (MAS) by HEIs. Nevertheless, there is still a need to enhance its use by maximizing its complete implementation.

Việt Nam đang có kế hoạch xây dựng đường sắt cao tốc Bắc-Nam với tốc độ có thể lên tới 350 km/h. Khi tàu chạy với tốc độ càng cao, dao động nền do tàu sinh ra có biên độ càng lớn và có thể ảnh hưởng đến sự an toàn vận hành của tàu. Do vậy, các vấn đề liên quan đến dao động nền do tải trọng tàu cao tốc, cụ thể hơn là vấn đề ảnh hưởng của vận tốc tàu đến dao động nền, trở thành chủ đề quan trọng cần nhận được sự quan tâm nghiên cứu. Bài báo trình bày nghiên cứu ảnh hưởng của vận tốc tàu đến dao động của một nền nhiều lớp do tải trọng tàu cao tốc. Vận tốc tàu được khảo sát nằm trong khoảng 72 km/h đến 360 km/h. Phương pháp nghiên cứu được sử dụng là mô phỏng phần tử hữu hạn theo miền thời gian. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng khi vận tốc tàu nhỏ hơn hoặc bằng 108 km/h, trường chuyển vị mặt nền có dạng “giả tĩnh”, nghĩa là chuyển vị nền sinh ra bởi đoàn tàu đang chạy có dạng giống như chuyển vị nền tĩnh sinh ra bởi đoàn tàu đang đứng yên. Khi vận tốc tàu lớn hơn 108 km/h, biên độ dao động nền tăng theo vận tốc tàu và tàu sinh ra sóng lan truyền ra môi trường xung quanh. Đặc biệt, khi vận tốc tàu bằng với vận tốc tới hạn của hệ (252 km/h), biên độ dao động nền đạt giá trị cực đại

Với sự đô thị hóa và công nghiệp hóa nhanh chóng trong những thập kỷ qua, nhu cầu sử dụng bê tông ngày càng tăng cao, các nguồn cốt liệu thiên nhiên đang dần cạn kiệt và phế thải xây dựng (PTXD) thải ra ngày càng nhiều. Việc tái chế và tái sử dụng PTXD được xem là giải pháp phát triển bền vững, tiết kiệm năng lượng và tài nguyên thiên nhiên, trong đó, việc sử dụng gạch men thải (GMT) để thay thế cho cốt liệu thiên nhiên trong bê tông đã nhận được rất nhiều sự quan tâm trong thời gian gần đây. Bài báo trình bày ảnh hưởng của (50-100)%GMT thay thế đá dăm và 35% xỉ lò cao nghiền mịn (XL) thay thế xi măng đến một số tính chất cơ học và độ bền của bê tông. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy GMT làm giảm tính công tác, khối lượng thể tích (KLTT) của hỗn hợp bê tông, giảm cường độ kéo uốn, cường độ nén và vận tốc xung siêu âm của bê tông, trong đó bê tông sử dụng 50%GMT có tính chất tương tự như bê tông đối chứng. Bên cạnh đó, bê tông cốt liệu GMT làm giảm đáng kể độ hấp thụ nước và độ thấm ion clo, tuy nhiên, khi sử dụng 100% GMT lại có xu hướng gia tăng độ thấm. Sự gia tăng cường độ và suy giảm tính thấm theo thời gian của các bê tông cốt liệu GMT lớn hơn so với bê tông đối chứng. Sử dụng 35% XL thay thế xi măng cải thiện tính công tác, tính chất cơ học và làm giảm đáng kể tính thấm của bê tông

Published: June 2024

Introducción. La detección de anticoagulante lúpico (AL) en pacientes que reciben el tratamiento con antagonistas de la vitamina K (AVK) es todavía una asignatura pendiente. Algunas guías recomiendan realizar todas las pruebas en la mezcla equimolar del plasma del paciente y el pool de plasmas normales (PN+PP), en aquellos pacientes con RIN<3. Sin embargo, la última guía de la ISTH sugiere no determinar AL en pacientes con AVK. Objetivo. Comparar la conclusión final de los estudios de AL, realizando las pruebas de tamizaje y confirmatorias en el plasma puro (PP) y en la mezcla (PP+PN), en pacientes en tratamiento con AVK. Población. 90 pacientes con diagnóstico previo de AL persistente, que al momento de su inclusión estaban en tratamiento con AVK con RIN < 3. Todos habían sido estudiados por segunda vez para confirmar el diagnóstico de AL persistente, a los tres meses, bajo tratamiento anticoagulante con heparina de bajo peso molecular y luego continuaron con el tratamiento con AVK. Materiales y métodos. Se realizaron los ensayos de tamizaje y confirmatorio del tiempo de veneno de víbora de Russell (dRVVT y cRVVT) y del tiempo de coagulación de sílice (sSCT y cSCT). Se preparó el pool de plasmas normales con 40 donantes de sangre, que fueron negativos para la evaluación de AL. Los puntos de corte fueron establecidos localmente de acuerdo a la guía ISTH. Resultados. 33/90 pacientes fueron AL positivo tanto en PP como en PP+PN, 27 negativos y 30 discordantes. 46 de las 90 muestras fueron positivas por dRVVT en PP, pero sólo 18/90 fueron positivas por ensayo de dRVVT en PP+PN. El valor de kappa para la medida de la concordancia entre el ensayo dRVVT en ambas situaciones fue de 0,21 (IC del 95 % = 0,047-0,374). 52/90 fueron negativos por ensayo SCT en PP y 50/90 fueron negativos en PP+PN. 31/90 fueron positivos en ambos casos. Sólo 9/90 fueron positivos por SCT en PP+PN y negativos en PP. El índice kappa para el SCT fue 0,64 (0,431- 0,844). Discusión. Aunque realizar las pruebas de AL en PP+PN en pacientes anticoagulados con AVK es una práctica habitual, de acuerdo con estos resultados no es una buena opción, porque podría dar un diagnóstico falsamente negativo o positivo, dependiendo del ensayo. La discrepancia entre usar o no la mezcla es mayor en el ensayo de dRVVT.

Authors: Ali Hassan Hassan , Soheili Mehdizadeh Ahmad
Published: June 2024

One of the most important operations in agriculture is tillage, which has a great contribution to increasing crop yield and aeration of the soil and, ultimately, root development. Among the important tools for tillage are rotary rotators that are exposed to high and variable dynamic loads, so they are designed to have both the greatest contribution to soil agitation and high strength; It is necessary. Therefore, in this research, an L-shaped blade sample was designed for a rotator using a Biomimetic method. Due to the extensive research that has been done in the world in the field of manufacturing different types of rotators with a rotating agitator mechanism, therefore, it is necessary to study and optimize the rotator blades according to Iranian conditions. In this study, the studied variables include dependent and independent variables. Dependent variables include von Mises stress and arm displacement, and independent variables include the dimensions and geometric parameters of the Shape of the Rotator Blades. The idea for the blade design was inspired by the paw of a mole rat. Six blades were designed by simple method and biomimetic method and then by finite element method. Effects of blade angle change and design method on stress distribution, maximum displacement, maximum energy absorbed in the blade, reliability and under 400 N checked out. The results showed that in all designed models, the values of stress, displacement and energy absorbed were lower in the biomimetic design mode. As the blade angle increased, the values of the above parameters also decreased. Finally, the best model for having the least von Mises stress and the highest reliability was the blade with a Biomimetic design and a 20-degree angle.

Congenital infections are the main causes of permanent disability in children and have a major impact on morbidity and mortality and treatment costs. Among the main infections that can cause complications in pregnancy are: toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, syphilis, zika virus, herpes, hepatitis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and parvovirus B19. These infections can cause morphological changes in fetal tissues or organs, thus, early identification and treatment can reduce maternal-fetal transmission and / or decrease the impact on the fetus. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct na updated review of congenital infections, highlighting epidemiological, diagnostic and treatment aspects. This is a literature review, and for the construction of the text, the following databases were used: SciELO, pubmed, BVS and Google academic. Therefore, prevention, early diagnosis of congenital infections and other actions aimed at the adequate treatment of women and their children, with the integration of health programs and local surveillance systems, are extremely important for public health.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana pelaksanaan program profil pelajar Pancasila yang ada di kurikulum merdeka, juga ingin mengetahui apakah berdampak terhadap pembentukan karakter siswa di sekolah. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kepustakaan dimana dalam mengumpulkan informasi data dengan teknik dokumentasi yaitu mencari data mengenai hal-hal yang relevan dari berbagai macam yang ada di perpustakaan seperti dokumen, buku, majalah, berita. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Implementasi dalam penerapan Profil Pelajar Pancasila kurang optimal sebab terdapat bermacam hambatan yang menimbulkan minimnya sesuatu uraian yang di informasikan oleh pendidik, antara lain terbatasnya waktu yang di informasikan oleh pendidik, terbatasnya waktu Aktivitas Belajar Mengajar, substansi pelajaran yang sedikit, terbatasnya Ilmu Teknologi yang dicoba oleh pendidik, atensi pelajar yang sangat kurang terhadap mata pelajaran serta sebagainya. Juga terdapat implikasi terhadap pembuatan Karakter atau ketahanan individu partisipan didik ataupun siswa. Profil Pelajar Pancasila mempunyai tujuan utama ialah terjaganya nilai luhur serta moral bangsa, kesiapan buat jadi masyarakat dunia, perwujudan keadilan sosial, dan tercapaianya kompetensi Abad 21. Di jiwa serta sikap tiap hari di dalam komunitas ataupun profesi, kita wajib mempunyai profil pelajar Pancasila. Pelajar yang diartikan di sini merupakan SDM unggul yang ialah pelajar selama hayat yang mempunyai kompetensi global serta berperilaku cocok nilai- nilai Pancasila. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Implementasi profil pelajar Pancasila di sekolah masih kurang optimal dan implikasinya terhadap pembentukan karakter siswa sangat kuat. Sehingga apabila profil pelajar pancaila ini dioptimalkan dalam pelaksanaannya disekolah, maka akan terbentuklah karakter siswa yang pancasilais.

Anthropometric measures for female secondary school students in Nigeria were sparsely reported in literature. Consequently, Classroom Furniture (CF) are designed without recourse to anthropometric dimensions and ergonomic norms. Poorly designed CF may lead to learning challenges and risk of potential future posture related health problems. Thus, provision of CF with appropriate measures is crucial to encourage proper fit and could help to reduce accidents among students. Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the degree of compatibility between CF dimensions and female students’ body measurements in Secondary School, Okitipupa, Nigeria. 232 female students aged from 11 to 18 years partook in the study. They were grouped into Lower Class Female, Middle Class Female and Upper Class Female. Anthropometric data that include Popliteal Heights (P), Buttock-Popliteal Lengths (BPL), Hip Widths (HW), Shoulder Heights (SHH), Elbow Heights (EH), and Knee Heights (KH) were collected and compared with dimensions of CF features: Seat Height (SH), Seat Depth (SD), Seat Width (SW), Backrest Height (B), Desk Height (D) and Underneath Desk Height (UD) using match equations. Mismatch between students’ body dimensions and CF features ranged from 43.750-76.390, 28.750-100.000, 87.500-100.000, 52.500-100.000 and 49.000-78.480% for SH, SD, B, D and UD respectively. Seat width was suitable for all the students. Their ergonomic design values ranged from 47.260-51.770, 15.180-17.630, 38.060-42.580, 43.580-51.160, 41.610-48.470 and 25.170-37.480cm, respectively. Two types of classroom furniture (suited the anthropometric characteristics of majority of the female students and have the potential of reducing the occurrence of cumulative-trauma disorders) are required in secondary schools.

The study integrates petrophysical analysis, attribute studies of 3D seismic data to analyze structures, delineate reservoirs, identify prospects and estimate reserves within the Agana field. The study area is located in the coastal swamp of the Eastern Niger Delta. Four wells were used for the study. Four reservoirs A, B, C and D were identified and correlated across the wells. Volume attribute studies revealed a complexly faulted region. A total of sixty six faults were mapped and were labeled F1 to F66. The major faults were trending East-West direction, while the minor faults were trending in Northeast-Southwest direction. The trapping mechanism identified from the interpretation indicates that the field is characterized mostly by fault assisted closures. The results of the three surface attributes; RMS Amplitude, Extract value, Sum of Positive Amplitudes extracted from the subsurface structure maps identified only one prospect, B1 on horizon B. The average petrophysical parameters of reservoir B in the four wells which included thickness, net-to-gross, volume of shale, water saturation, hydrocarbon saturation and porosity, were calculated as 485.99ft, 0.58, 0.20, 0.52, 0.48, and 0.21, respectively. These average parameters were used to estimate the reserve for the identified prospect B1. The calculated results for Hydrocarbon Initially In Place (HIIP) and Hydrocarbon Pore Volume (HPV), are 303,709.43×106 STB, and 455,564.15ft3 respectively. Risk analysis based on Geologic Chance of Success showed that the prospect can be explored with 56% chance of success. The result showed integration of petrophysical and structural analysis with attribute studies to be more efficient in identifying prospect so that where structural interpretation is inefficient attribute studies compliment.
