Human Campylobacteriosis: A Threat for Public Health
Authors: - Sejal Malik
Published: April 2024

Global public health is seriously threatened by human campylobacteriosis, which is mostly caused with the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. An extensive summary of the disease's epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, therapy, and preventive measures is provided in this abstract.

Poultry is a key reservoir for campylobacteriosis, one of the most common foodborne illnesses in the world. Via direct contact with sick animals or by consuming tainted food or water, the virus can spread. Warmer months see a rise in its incidence, which reflects varying seasons and environmental factors.

When ingested, certain species of Campylobacter invade the gastrointestinal tract and produce symptoms that can range from a minor case of gastroenteritis to more serious consequences like Guillain-Barré syndrome. Young children and those with impaired immune systems are especially susceptible to its crippling consequences.

Microbiological culture techniques are the mainstay of diagnosis, while molecular methods are becoming more and more popular because of their superior sensitivity and specificity. For proper therapy and to reduce the risk of complications, early identification is essential.

In severe cases, treatment usually consists of supportive care and antibiotics, albeit there are hurdles due to the growth of antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, preventive measures include appropriate food handling procedures, stringent cleanliness standards, and focused vaccination programs for livestock.

Even with improvements in knowledge and treatment, human campylobacteriosis is still a serious public health issue. Because of its complicated epidemiology and the resilience of the Campylobacter species, it is imperative to use a variety of strategies to stop its spread.

In summary, human campylobacteriosis poses a persistent risk to public health, requiring constant monitoring, investigation, and cross-sector cooperation.
We can work to lessen its impact on society and protect the welfare of people everywhere by improving our comprehension of its mechanisms and putting in place efficient control measures.

Published: April 2024

Demand for banana commodities in Indonesia is relatively high, especially as an ingredient for food diversification. Judging from per capita consumption, bananas are consumed the most, with an average consumption of 24.71 grams/capita/day. Besides high domestic demand, bananas have high potential and competitiveness in the international market. The value of banana exports in Indonesia has increased by 42.81% from 2021. Throughout 2022, Indonesia has exported 22,112.98 tonnes of bananas to several countries, such as Malaysia, Singapore, and China. However, requests from these countries have not been met by Indonesia (Coordinating Ministry for the Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, 2020). Demand for exports of horticultural commodities, especially bananas, is relatively high but cannot yet be met. This means that the amount of banana production available is still insufficient to meet the community's needs and export of banana commodities. This research aims to determine internal and external factors, appropriate business development strategies, and priority strategies to be implemented at UD Istana Banana. The study was conducted at UD Istana Banana in Bojonegoro Regency in December 2023. Based on the results of the data analysis, the IFE Matrix (Internal Factor Evaluation) got a total score of 3.25, and the EFE Matrix (External Factor Evaluation) got a total score of 2.85. So, in the Internal External (IE) matrix, the company's position is in quadrant IV, which means the company's position is in growth and development. Furthermore, in the SWOT analysis, ten alternative strategies were obtained, and based on the QSPM analysis, it showed that the alternative strategy to develop the business by expanding partnerships and establishing good relationships with work partners and consumers received the highest score with a value of 5.89 which was the priority strategy at UD Istana Banana.

Published: April 2024

Millennial farmers become superior and competitive human resources as determinants of the progress of agricultural development. Millennial farmers must be adaptive to digitalization technology and innovation and environmentally friendly cultivation techniques to face agricultural development, including climate change challenges. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) behavior is the strategic effort of millennial farmers as an approach to dealing with the impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector, as well as efforts by the agricultural industry to reduce its impact on climate change through efficient management of crops, land and soil, and water. The management is based on three pillars of CSA: 1) Increasing agricultural productivity and income, 2) Improving adaptation and resilience to climate change, and 3) Reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to analyze CSA implementation behavior based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by examining the direct and indirect effects of attitude variables, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions. These variables are measured by integrating TPB with the CSA context. The research sample was 198 respondents of Millennial Farmer Ambassadors and Andalan Farmer Ambassadors in West Java Province, conducted in 2023. This research uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method to analyze complex models with many variables—data collection techniques using questionnaire instruments that have been valid and reliable. The results showed that attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention significantly influence behavior both directly and indirectly through intention (p-value < α 0.05). Meanwhile, subjective norms do not substantially affect behavior directly or indirectly through intention (p-value > α 0.05). So, it is necessary to develop interventions that strengthen the formation of positive intentions and the need for practical support for subjective norms related to CSA implementation behavior in millennial farmers.

Published: April 2024

The avocado plants had various types and were favored by the Indonesian community. This was one of the reasons for the increased production. One type of avocado in Indonesia is the YM avocado from Lebak. The research aimed to enhance the growth of YM avocado plants by applying nano zinc fertilizer and vitamin B1. This research was carried out in May-August. It was an experimental study with a randomized block design with two factors. It employed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and post hoc tests using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5%. The first factor was Vitamin B1 (V) (15 mg/l, 30 mg/l, and 45 mg/l), the second factor was nano zinc fertilizer (Z) (2 ml/l, four ml/l, and six ml/l) and repeated three times, so there were 27 plants. Growth parameters observed included plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, length-to-width ratio, leaf count, and leaf greenness index. The 45 mg/l dosages of vitamin B1 showed the best influence on planted growth, resulting in a height increase of 54.83 cm, a leaf length of 11.53 cm, a leaf length-to-width ratio of 2.57 cm, and a leaf greenness index of 50.11 units. The broadest leaf expansion occurred at the 15 mg/l dosage, reaching 5.44 cm. On the other hand, nano zinc fertilizer positively impacted stem diameter growth, especially with the optimal dosage of 6 ml/l, increasing from 8.50 mm. Combining nanozinc fertilizer and vitamin B1 supports plant growth by providing essential micronutrients and accelerating vegetative growth. However, vitamin B1 and nano zinc fertilizer do not exhibit a positive interaction in promoting the development of YM avocado plants.

Advancements in hydrochlorination of alkenes
Authors: Müller Daniel S
Published: April 2024

The hydrochlorination of alkenes has been extensively studied in research and is commonly featured in organic chemistry textbooks as an exemplification of the Markovnikov rule. However, the application of this reaction is typically limited to specific alkenes, such as highly substituted ones, styrenes, or strained systems. Conversely, monosubstituted or 1,2-disubstituted alkenes do not readily react with HCl gas or solutions of HCl gas at practical rates. The challenges associated with hydrochlorination reactions for these "non-activated" alkenes have spurred considerable research efforts over the past 30 years, which constitute the primary focus of this review. The discussion begins with classical polar hydrochlorinations, followed by metal-promoted radical hydrochlorinations, and concludes with a brief overview of recent anti-Markovnikov hydrochlorinations.

Published: April 2024

The paper deals with the issue of representing the Russian mentality in the texts of Russian as a foreign language`s textbooks. When teaching Russian, through the language foreigners learn about the historically determined cultural codes of the people, the peculiarities of the national character and speech behaviour of Russian people. As a result of the study, the authors summarized the main features of the Russian mentality presented in 25 scientific works, analyzed the texts of 50 manuals on Russian as a foreign language, determined the means of reflecting the Russian mentality, and indicated the national features broadcast in educational texts. As the analysis showed, the texts of the Russian as a foreign language present the following features of the Russian mentality: hard work, laziness / passivity, caution in conducting business, ability to contemplate, love of freedom and fatalism, maximalism in expressing feelings and emotions, sociability, approval of cognitive activity, value of relationships. These qualities are translated through stable expressions of a metaphorical nature, stable expressions with nationally significant lexemes: longing, fate, soul, will; lexical and grammatical techniques (antithesis, anaphora, deixis, predicates, nominatives). As a basic method, a method of complex linguistic description was used, including methods of generalization, interpretation and classification of language facts. The results obtained during the analysis may be used in the development of new textbooks on Russian as a foreign language, more specifically aimed at developing the socio-cultural competence of students.

Authors: Hatipoğlu Fatıma Şule , Kaya Çınar
Published: April 2024

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Gratitude-Based Spiritual Group Guidance Program (GSGGP), a spiritually oriented group guidance process, on gratitude expression, intrinsic spirituality, and sense of meaning and peace. Using a pre-test-post-test control group design among quasi-experimental designs, the study examined an experimental group that received GSGGP and a control group that did not receive any interventions. The experimental group consisted of 44 university students (5 male, 39 female), with participants’ ages ranging from 18 to 30 (X = 21.55 ± 2.16). The study findings revealed subtle differences in post-test gratitude expression scores between the groups, suggesting a potential impact of the intervention. Intra-group analysis within the experimental group showed statistically significant increases in gratitude expression and intrinsic spiritual experiences. Moreover, the experimental group exhibited enhancements in dimensions of spiritual well-being, including peace-related experiences and the perception of meaning. Overall, the GSGGP demonstrates potential to influence various dimensions of gratitude expression, internal spirituality, and spiritual well-being, offering insights into its multifaceted impact and role in personal growth.
From Research to Practice: Three Waves in the Evolution of the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality
Authors: Pargament Kenneth I.
Published: April 2024

This paper examines three broad waves in the evolution of the psychology of religion and spirituality over the past 50 years toward a field that integrates theory, research, and practice. In the first wave, researchers attempted to demonstrate the interconnectedness of religion with various aspects of human functioning. However, this research was largely correlational, relied on global measures of religiousness, and failed to identify what it is about religious life than may affect behavior. In the second wave, researchers began to integrate religious research into mainstream psychological theories and examine religious life in more of its richness and complexity. The field experienced a dramatic upsurge in study in part due the rise of interest in the construct of spirituality. The second wave produced findings that were ripe for application. In the third wave, researchers and practitioners are currently designing and evaluating ways religious and spiritual resources, problems, and struggles can be integrated into clinical practice. The paper concludes by considering some of the challenges that will need to be addressed as the psychology of religion and spirituality evolves further toward an empirically-based applied field.
Monetary Issuance and the U.S. Municipal Budget Crisis

Published: April 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic, once again laidbare the fiscal vulnerability of U.S. municipalities. Economic crises can becountered by expansionary fiscal policy, but only if the governmental unit hasthe authority to issue legal tender. Whether the challenge is as acute aswide-spread disease or as slow and grinding as failing water infrastructure,without the ability to place itself in a deficit position, the municipality isunable to mitigate falling financial wealth in the private sector.Despite the potential benefits of localcurrencies to municipal governments, they remain quite uncommon. This raritymay be attributed to the convoluted legal landscape surrounding non-federalcurrencies in the United States, as well as, a general failure to support localmoney through tax policy. The first issue accounts, in some part, for the slowproliferation of municipal currencies; while the second lends insight intotheir generally short life-spans. Through a close reading of the legal historysurrounding non-federal currencies and the application of monetary theorytowards local currency design, this paper aims to counter both of thesetendencies. 
Negative Air ions induced amelioration of biochemical parameters in Cerebral Palsy patients
Authors: Rafique Ammara
Published: April 2024

Cerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term for a group of neurological abnormalities that impair a person's ability to stand, balance, walk, and maintain posture. It is caused by injury or anomalies in the developing brain, which tend to happen before or soon after birth or in early childhood. The study aimed to explore the influence of negative air ions (NAIs) on biochemical parameters in CP-inflicted patients and was conducted from February 1st to March 30th, 2021. Ethical permission from the Institutional Bioethics Committee (Ref: IBC-2017) and the Al-Umeed Rehabilitation Association (AURA) was obtained before the study. Thirty-one structured sessions of exposure to NAIs were conducted at AURA for six weeks after randomly allocating CP-inflicted participants into control (n=12; Median age: 14±5 years) and intervention groups (n=16; M age: Median age=14.5±7.1 years). Biochemical parameters included blood urea nitrogen, calcium, creatinine, electrolytes (bicarbonate, chloride, potassium, and sodium), liver function tests (alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, bilirubin total, direct bilirubin, and ?-glutamyl transpeptidase), protein tests (albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, and total proteins), and random blood sugar. For all tests, a trained phlebotomist collected blood samples from the premises of the rehabilitation center at baseline and sixth week. Paired t-tests were performed for within-group comparisons using SPSS v28.  The biochemical parameters were normal in both groups at baseline and sustained normality in assessment at the sixth week. The NAI intervention showed no negative effects, indicating that it can be a progressive, non-pharmacological, cost-effective, and effective method to improve the quality of life of CP-inflicted patients.

Published: April 2024

This phenomenological study aimed to explore and understand the experiences of non- PE teacher in teaching First Aid and Emergency Response in District I Asuncion, Davao Del Norte. The participants’ experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights were gathered. The theory and the idea of the study were gleamed through the Skills Acquisition Theory of Fitts and Posner (1967), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) by Shulman (1987), and Experiential Learning Theory by Kolb (1970). Out of the fourteen (14) participants who participated in this study, seven (7) non-PE teachers underwent in- depth interviews (IDI), and another seven (7) for focus group discussion (FGD); (7) participants of them participated virtually through Zoom application while the other (7) participants underwent to a face-to-face interview. They selected to purposive sampling technique. As to the experiences of the non-PE teachers, the following themes emerged: experiencing lack of resources; inadequacy of training opportunities; giving value to learning first aid and emergency response; having struggles in teaching due to insufficient knowledge and skills; provision of practical knowledge and personal growth; having lack of confidence and uncertainty in teaching first aid; and having students who actively participating. To address the issues and challenges, the non-PE teachers mentioned the following: application of experiential learning in practical knowledge skills education; collaboration with people in first aid and emergency response; being optimistic and enthusiastic; sustaining creative adaptation and comprehensive readiness; and utilizing online resources for knowledge enhancement. They also cited insights they could share with others through the themes that emerged; provisions of support, training, and seminar- workshop for non-PE teachers; integration of practical application in real scenarios; continuous professional development in first aid and emergency response; and practice of being calm in emergency response. The results are deemed essential to non–PE teachers, students, the Department of Education, School Administrators, and other stakeholders to give awareness and create best practices that would provide great help in delivering quality teaching of First Aid and Emergency Response, training techniques that would motivate and encourage the non- PE teachers.
A Laurent Phenomenon for the Cayley Plane

Published: April 2024

We describe a Laurent phenomenon for the Cayley plane, which is the homogeneous variety associated to the cominuscule representation of $E_6$. The corresponding Laurent phenomenon algebra has finite type and appears in a natural sequence of LPAs indexed by the $E_n$ Dynkin diagrams for $n\leq6$. We conjecture the existence of a further finite type LPA, associated to the Freudenthal variety of type $E_7$.
The Effect of Resistivity on the Periodicity of Oscillatory Reconnection
Authors: Talbot Jordan , McLaughlin James A. , Botha Gert J. J. , Hancock Mark
Published: April 2024

The oscillatory reconnection mechanism is investigated for a parameter study of eight orders of magnitude of resistivity, with a particular interest in the evolution of the oscillating current density at the null point and its associated periodicity. The resistive, nonlinear MHD simulations are solved in 2.5D for different levels of resistivity. Three methods (wavelet analysis, Fourier transform, and ANOVA) are used to investigate the effect of resistivity versus resultant period. It is found that there is an independence between the level of background resistivity and the period of the oscillatory reconnection mechanism. Conversely, it is found that resistivity has a significant effect on the maximum amplitude of the current density and the nature of its decay rate, as well as the magnitude of ohmic heating at the null.
Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection as an Acceleration Mechanism in Earth’s Magnetotail
Authors: Sega Daniel D. , Ergun Robert E.
Published: April 2024

Using electric and magnetic fields measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we construct a test-particle simulation of a turbulent magnetic reconnection region to investigate observed ion acceleration. We identify three types of energized ions: (1) ion jets, (2) Speiser-like energized ions—both of which carry significant energy but do not produce a strong energetic (>80 keV) tail in the ion distribution—and (3) a separate but sizable population of ions that are accelerated to significantly higher energies (>80 keV) by the turbulent fields. The majority of ions that undergo energization by the turbulent fields cross the magnetic null plane multiple times. By preferentially energizing these particles, the turbulence creates a separate population of ions that mostly exits in the dawn direction of the magnetotail and forms a high-energy power-law tail in the ion flux-energy distribution. We also find that the highest acceleration energies are limited by the size of the turbulent region (with respect to ion gyroradii). Since turbulence is widespread in astrophysical plasmas and has no a priori limit on scale size, the MMS observations suggest turbulence may have a significant role in particle acceleration.
The Kullback–Leibler Divergence and the Convergence Rate of Fast Covariance Matrix Estimators in Galaxy Clustering Analysis
Authors: Li Zhigang , Ding Zhejie , Yu Yu , Zhang Pengjie
Published: April 2024

We present a method to quantify the convergence rate of the fast estimators of the covariance matrices in the large-scale structure analysis. Our method is based on the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence, which describes the relative entropy of two probability distributions. As a case study, we analyze the delete-d jackknife estimator for the covariance matrix of the galaxy correlation function. We introduce the information factor or the normalized KL divergence with the help of a set of baseline covariance matrices to diagnose the information contained in the jackknife covariance matrix. Using a set of quick particle mesh mock catalogs designed for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR11 CMASS galaxy survey, we find that the jackknife resampling method succeeds in recovering the covariance matrix with 10 times fewer simulation mocks than that of the baseline method at small scales (s ≤ 40 h
−1 Mpc). However, the ability to reduce the number of mock catalogs is degraded at larger scales due to the increasing bias on the jackknife covariance matrix. Note that the analysis in this paper can be applied to any fast estimator of the covariance matrix for galaxy clustering measurements.
Inclusão da pessoa com deficiência intelectual na escolarização: como oportunizar uma formação humana frente a “Pedagogia Capitalista”
Authors: Ghizzo Neto Fellini Dinéia , Scalabrin Neinas Joseane , Buzzelli Sierra Hessmann Dayane
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica que aborda aspectos sobre a humanização da pessoa com deficiência intelectual (DI) frente a escolarização voltada ao mercado de trabalho, que tem assumido uma formação fragmentada e deficitária. O fator preponderante dessa discussão aporta-se na “defesa” de uma educação inclusiva que tem se apresentado falaciosa, a partir de discursos empregados por organismos internacionais, mais precisamente pela Declaração de Salamanca (1994), sendo preconizada, principalmente nos países da América Latina, em decretos, leis e diretrizes de caráter nacional. Indiscutivelmente, constata-se que a escola tem seguido as preconizações estabelecidas para a oferta da escolarização para todos, fomentada a partir de 1990 com a Conferencia de Jomtien, contudo, observa-se que a inclusão dos alunos com deficiência, Transtornos Globais de Desenvolvimento (TGD) e Altas Habilidades/Superdotação (AH/SD), tem se apresentado defasada, cujo os entraves, principalmente quando se trata do aluno com DI, refletem a falta de preparo dos profissionais, a inexistência de materiais pedagógicos adaptados, a lacuna existente em relação ao currículo empregado, práticas pedagógicas descontextualizadas com a realidade do aluno, entre outros. Além disso, a carência de investimentos por parte dos governos tem evidenciado a ineficácia da educação inclusiva. Contudo, para a Teoria Histórico-Cultural, reflexões a respeito da formação dos alunos com deficiência se tornam necessárias a partir da perspectiva de um desenvolvimento pautado nas suas capacidades de compensação. A escola de Vygotsky aborda que os conhecimentos historicamente produzidos pela humanidade se revelam como indispensáveis para o desenvolvimento das funções psíquicas superiores (FPS). Os conhecimentos eruditos e a língua são atribuídos como instrumentos mediadores desse processo. Contudo, a mediação docente também deve ser considerada para o desenvolvimento da criança, além do ensino organizado, elementos tão necessários, diante da atual conjuntura, cuja formação para o mercado de trabalho tem se cristalizo gradativamente.

O desenvolvimento e a procura por alimentos funcionais vêm crescendo a cada ano, trazendo benefício à saúde. A casca de jabuticaba é geralmente desprezada representando uma perda significativa do fruto, por isso vem sendo pesquisado a utilização da casca como enriquecimento em diversos modelos alimentares. Com objetivo de desenvolver novos produtos que conferem características benéficas por meio da farinha de casca de jabuticaba, esse trabalho visou a substituição da farinha integral ou da aveia em 3%, 5% e 7% nas preparações de pão, bolo e barra de cereal. Foram coletados aproximadamente 15,0 kg de jabuticabas inteiras e maduras, separando a casca da polpa, as cascas foram submetidas à secagem em estufa de circulação de ar, por 10h, depois trituradas em processador de alimentos. A análise sensorial foi realizada na Faculdade Campo Real com 100 estudantes, que julgaram em relação ao sabor, aroma, consistência e impressão geral de cada amostra. Os resultados demostraram que a maior aceitação foi da amostra de 3% em relação ao pão e bolo em todos os atributos sensoriais. Em relação ao aroma e textura da barra de cereal a maior aceitação foi à amostra de 7%. No índice de aceitabilidade do pão e do bolo, todas as amostras ficaram acima de 70%. Sobre a barra de cereal, duas amostras tiveram índice inferior ao recomendado. Conclui-se que o aproveitamento tecnológico de resíduos alimentares é extremamente válido e deve ser incentivado, frente aos benefícios ambientais, econômicos e nutricionais.

Authors: Manuel Manuel Tomas
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo tem como objectivo analisar as produções científicas nacionais e internacionais, que abordam a temática dos padrões de consumo de energia no sector residencial como referência para estudo dos padrões de consumo doméstico de energia no Bairro Nhaconjo, Cidade da Beira, no centro de Moçambique. Para tal analisamos cerca de 24 artigos científicos publicados em revistas científicas indexadas, nas últimas três décadas. Os resultados demonstram a existência de muitos estudos que tratam dos padrões de consumo doméstico de energia em países desenvolvidos, porém pouca literatura trata do assunto referente a Moçambique. A literatura revista também se mostra enfática em relação as diferenças em termos de agregados familiares, nível de rendimento, idade, escolaridade, hábitos do usuário, entre outros factores que influenciam directamente os comportamentos relacionados com o consumo de energia.

Authors: Carvalho Eduardo Attuy , Chaves Aline , Dos Santos Carlos Henrique Farias , Franco Edgar Manuel Carreno
Published: April 2024

O algoritmo das gotas d’água inteligentes é uma técnica de otimização baseada no fluxo de água em rios, lagos e oceanos, a qual pode ser utilizada para solucionar o problema da mochila multidimensional. A principal característica deste método de otimização é a utilização de uma abordagem construtiva, por meio de uma população, que visa encontrar a solução ótima de um determinado problema. Baseando-se nas gotas de água que fluem na natureza, de modo que cada gota de água constrói uma solução atravessando no espaço de busca do problema e modificando seu ambiente, desta forma, levou-se em conta os parâmetros de velocidade e solo da gota alterados conforme o caminho de respostas que a mesma atravessa. Fez-se os testes e a validação do algoritmo desenvolvido mediante o software Matlab®, analisando o número mínimo de iterações para encontrar as respostas ótimas dos problemas e o tempo de simulação.
RELAÇÕES ENTRE PADRÕES DE CONSUMO DOMÉSTICO DE ENERGIA E NÍVEIS DE RENDA FAMILIAR: ESTUDO DE CASO NO 14º BAIRRO NHACONJO, CIDADE DA BEIRA
Authors: Manuel Manuel Tomas , Vitorino Alfiado Vitorino
Published: April 2024

Este artigo analisa o impacto da renda sobre os padrões de consumo doméstico de energia no 14º Bairro urbano denominado Nhaconjo, localizado no Município da Cidade da Beira, no centro de Moçambique. Com base no questionário, as famílias inqueridas foram classificadas em nove grupos de níveis de renda. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese de que com o aumento da renda o consumo doméstico de energia tende a aumentar, mas a um ritmo desigual. Também, foi possível verificar que quanto menor for a renda há mais participação de combustíveis que se encontra na base inferior da “escada de energia”, no caso da lenha e serradura.
