It is known that the ovarian extract of Singkarak Lake Pufferfish (Tetraodon leiurus) has the potential for chemoprevention in MCF-7 cells. However, the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes was associated with cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the Bcl-2 and Bax gene expression induced by the ovarian extract of Singkarak Lake Pufferfish (Tetraodon leiurus) in MCF-7. The method in this study was an in vitro experiment using MCF-7 control cells and MCF-7 cells induced by the ovarian extract of Singkarak Lake Pufferfish (Tetraodon leiurus), and Real-time PCR was used to examine the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes. The result showed that the expression of the Bcl-2 gene had an insignificant decrease (p>0.05) by 15%, and the expression of the Bax gene had a significant increase (p<0.05) by 489% compared to the control. These results support that ovarian extract Singkarak Lake Pufferfish (Tetraodon leiurus) can be alternative cancer chemoprevention.
Black Mountain Poets
Authors: Sinha Parthiva
Published: September 2022

The New American Poetry was an anthology engendered by poet Donald M. Allen in 1960. The New Poets of England and America was edited by the poets Donald Hall, Robert Pack, and Louis Simpson just three years prior. These publications, while each claimed to represent a comprehensive review of contemporary poetry, did not apportion a single poet.Academic poets who primarily inscribe in traditional form, influenced by the relishes of T. S. Eliot and Robert Frost, made up The New Poets of England and America. There were popular poets like Richard Wilbur, John Hollander, and Adrienne Affluent. However, Allen's anthology gave the several experimental poets active in the US a platform. He visually perceived these poets as the heirs to the developments made by William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound.The only ways this new generation's work had antecedently reached its expanding audience were through readings, publication in diminutive magazines, and independent presses. There were poets from the New York School and the San Francisco Renaissance, as well as the Beats, which included Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. Allen additionally gave a group of writers who were anteriorly hard to relegate a new name: the Black Mountain School of poetry. Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov, Edward Dorn, Joel Oppenheimer, Paul Blackburn, Jonathan Williams, Paul Carroll, Robert Duncan, and Larry Eigner were among the individuals he delegated to this school. They bore the designation of the ephemeral but illustrious Black Mountain College, whose rector Olson accommodated from 1951 until its dissolution in 1956.

Effect of Supply Chain Disruption in Dental Practice During Covid-19 Pandemic: An Indian Perspective
Authors: Joshi Vibha , Joshi Nitin , Bajaj Komal , Bharadwaj Pankaj , Singh Kuldeep
Published: September 2022

Disruption during Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need for healthcare supply chain management in order to achieve effective delivery of health services. Though considerable efforts have been undertaken on managing the healthcare supply chain disruptions in India but there is a paucity of literature that documented the effect of supply chain disruptions in dental practices during a covid-19 pandemic. During a pandemic, the disruptions in production and distribution of dental products were seen in India. Indian dental market is largely dependent on imports and there is a scarcity of local production units. The main dental companies reported a significant decline in production during the first wave of Covid-19. The increase in demand for dental supplies was seen with a shutdown, shortage of labor, and scarcity of raw materials. Disruption rippled through the supply chain and this was caused by a large distortion in demand. This phenomenon led to the bullwhip effect. This bullwhip effect crisis led to increased costs in dental practices. Covid19 has shown a significant lack of resilience in the Indian dental healthcare supply chain. This study identified a few loopholes in the dental supply chain and suggested a way forward for managing the supply chain disruptions. It seems that there is a need for more comprehensive research on dental supply chain resilience from an Indian perspective to prevent disruptions, particularly in emergent situations.

Authors: Munusamy Gomathi , Shanmugam Ramesh
Published: September 2022

Background: High body mass index is a common well-known issue among adolescents, its related morbid-ity track to adulthood life and decrease life expectancy. The review aims to derive a consensus on school-based intervention on body mass index. Objective: This review evaluates the effect of school-based inter-ventions in reducing or preventing high body mass index for adolescents.
Method: A literature search was performed in six electronic databases: Pubmed, Science Direct index, Sci-Hub, HINARI, and Google Scholar to identify published studies between January 2010 and December 2020. Only randomized controlled studies evaluated the effect of physical activity and/or physical education and nutritional education and/or dietary behavior, sedentary behavior outcome reporting on body mass index among adolescents were included. The Standard Cochrane tool was used to assess the risk of bias for indi-vidual studies. An evaluation of the effects of included interventions on body mass index was done using a random effects model.
Results: There were 6 trials included. 2503 adolescent partakers met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed there is a significant difference between length of intervention between 3 to 12 months were MD -0.44 kg [95% CI: 1.06, 0.18], p-value = 0.04, with evidence of substantial study between heterogeneity (I2 = 61%).
Discussion: Intervention less than three to twelve months more effective with multiple school-based inter-ventions among adolescents. Numerous studies are needed for evaluation to determine long-term interven-tion effectiveness targeted on adolescents.
Moving-update Kalman Algorithm in Low-cost Node-Red IoT Network for Estimating Flood Water Level
Authors: Nguyen Quang Dung , Le Hoang Trung , Le Hoang Thien , Tran Viet Hung
Published: September 2022

Flooding is one of the most common natural disasters in Vietnam. Although a hydrological monitoring system has been developed in Vietnam, the adoption of a Flood Warning and Monitoring System (FWMS) is still limited. A practical issue is that the river water levels is rarely flat, but undulating with flood water ripples, which makes the measurement inaccurate. In this paper, we will design a recursive Kalman estimation for fluctuating flood water level in the Node-Red IoT network. Indeed, the low complexity of the popular Kalman filter algorithm is very suitable for a low-cost IoT system like Node-Red. In our experiments, the accuracy of our Kalman algorithm is far superior to the standard Moving Average (MA) algorithm. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the Kalman filter has been used in a practical Node-Red IoT experiment. We will show that our novel Moving-update Kalman algorithm, which combines MA and Kalman methods, can track data recursively without prior knowledge of noise’s variance. Our novel algorithm is of linear complexity and, hence, fast enough for low cost IoT and FWMS systems in developing countries like Vietnam. We also included the industrial Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol in IoT network in our Node-Red system, which means our designed Node-Red proposal is capable of transferring data to any FWMS network via internet. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

Published: September 2022

There are sub-classes of pedestrians that can be defined and it is important to distinguish between them for the detection in autonomous vehicle applications, such as elderly, and children, to reduce the risk of collision. It is necessary to talk about effective pedestrian tracking besides detection so that object remains accurately monitored, here the effective pre-trained algorithms come to achieve this goal in real-time. In this paper, we make a comparison between the detection and tracking algorithms, we applied the transfer learning technique to train the detection model on new sub-classes, after making Images augmentation in previous work, we got better results in detection, reached 0.81 mAP in real-time by using Yolov5 model, with a good tracking performance by the tracking algorithm dependent on detection Deep-SORT.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

Extraction, characterization, and improvement of banana stem and water hyacinth cellulose fibers as reinforcement in cementitious composites
Authors: LAOUBOL Supranee , NGERNCHUKLIN Piyalak , LEEKRAJANG Malinee
Published: September 2022

A sequential treatment for cellulose isolation from the banana stalk (BNSF) and water hyacinth (WHCF) based on the simultaneous fractionation of hemicelluloses and lignin by alkaline peroxide extraction has been studied. The crude cellulose was then purified by using an acetic acid-nitric acid mixture and further bleached with acidified sodium chlorite. The isolated cellulose was subject to analyses of associated hemicelluloses and lignin content. The structural changes between crude and purified celluloses were revealed by using FT-IR, TGA, and XRD analyses. The successive alkaline and bleaching treatments led to a significant loss in hemicelluloses and lignin, enrichment of the cellulose fraction, and increase in cellulose crystallinity but led to 3.1% to 5.4% degradation of the original cellulose. The crystallinity index of isolated cellulose was found to be increased from 38% to 90% for WHCF and 62% to 95% for BNSF. The cement composite with purified WHCF and BNSF exhibited comparable flexural strength to pure cement. The results showed that the flexural strength of the composites with 2.33 wt% of α-WHCF, 2.33 wt% of α-BNSF, and without fibers was 13.89 10.65 and 8.65 MPa, respectively. In other words, the flexural strength of the composite with α-WHCF was improved by 125%.

Calm, Comfort and Connection Massage for Family Wellbeing
Authors: Nutt Claire
Published: September 2022

My role, both as a midwife and massage therapist, enables me to support women and partners using massage with their baby. Positive touch and baby massage is a popular approach that promotes infant wellbeing whilst easing parents into the new beginnings of the fourth trimester – the first three months after birth. The fourth trimester can be challenging for new parents, but baby massage can promote responsive interactions that facilitates parents’ confidence that they are able to calm, soothe and comfort their babies.1 In turn, this can enhance their connections together as a family.1 Despite a lack of robust evidence regarding infant massage, there is no suggestion that massage causes harm.2 Its contemporary popularity is well demonstrated within our postnatal care and growing numbers of private classes and multicultural history worldwide.3,4
The Architecture of Motherhood
Authors: Parra Casado Marta , Elisabeth Muller Angela
Published: September 2022

Birth as a creative and complex act is, even today, undervalued, somehow hidden and subject to efficiency or performance criteria. Maternity wards are still being designed based on the same obsolete guidelines. Our aim is that neither feminist theories nor gender issues get excluded at maternity wards. Our work analyses the way attention is given during birth, as well as how pregnant and birthing women behave and relate to physical spaces. Birth rooms at maternity wards are still too often conceived as a reflection of our society: submissive spaces in a patriarchal system.
The Moment is Here… Now
Authors: Greenstock Kate
Published: September 2022

In this article, Kate Greenstock reflectively explores a clinical situation while working in the community as a student midwife. She captures an intimate moment between mother and midwife to explore the power of tiny but important gestures that held the mother’s space while grappling with breastfeeding challenges. In these micro-interactions, Kate manages to articulate the art of midwifery. She gently challenges us to consider how we too can remain vulnerable and emotionally open to the women in our care, for through these moments of shared vulnerability and openness, profound moments of deep connection are found.

Published: September 2022

Objective: to describe the use of spontaneous maternal postures during labour, in a low-risk population with a diagnosis of occiput posterior (OP) position at the beginning of the active labour. Methods: a retrospective observational study with 336 women. Results: 249 babies (85.6%) rotated in occiput anterior (OA) at birth. The majority of the foetuses rotated during the second stage of labour; the squatting position (60.6%) was the posture most commonly used, followed by the lateral one (53%). Discussion: women with a baby in OP should be encouraged to move spontaneously during labour as babies could be facilitated to rotate in OA.
Florence Nightingale Foundation Travel Scholarships: Part 1: Gestalt Breastfeeding
Authors: Tedstone Sally
Published: September 2022

Despite investment in infant feeding education for health professionals stimulated by the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative and the hard work of the voluntary sector and peer supporters, breastfeeding rates in all four countries of the UK at six weeks and beyond remain disappointing. This reflects the difficult feeding experiences some mothers continue to have leading 63% (UK wide) and 75% (Scotland) of mothers who stopped breastfeeding reporting that they would have liked to have fed for longer.1,2 Alongside this picture we have the rise in medicalisation of breastfeeding problems, including a massive increase in the diagnosis of tongue tie and reflux.3,4,5 Evidence based approaches to providing breastfeeding support to mothers are limited. We understand that in general, breastfeeding support improves the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding and that person-centred support is valued by women. In addition, there have been some helpful advances in our understanding of innate new born behaviours that offer new insights and strategies to support struggling mothers. However, a systematic review of the evidence in 2005 by Renfrew et al found an urgent need for research into common clinical problems which has not been addressed in the subsequent decade. Thompson, in a retrospective analysis of records of mothers supported by an at home breastfeeding support service, found a fourfold increase in nipple trauma when women had been taught the common cross cradle hold.

Published: September 2022

Chloride process is cost effective and environmental benefit, and the TiCl4 oxidation is the most important stage in this process. The structure of the jet ring has an obviously effect on the mixing of TiCl4 and O2 in the oxidation reactor, which is the key equipment in the production of titanium pigment. In this paper, the gas mixing condition with five jet rings of different structure was simulated and analyzed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The radial concentration distribution of TiCl4 and the non-uniformity of the mixture with different jet rings were obtained. The results showed the structure of the jet ring has great effect on the gas mixing. The mixing condition of the jet ring with combined opening orifice is better than that of the jet ring with uniform opening orifice， which is more effective in realizing fast and uniform mixing condition of TiCl4 and O2.
Real Property as a Thing Under the Polish Civil Code
Authors: Zaradkiewicz Kamil
Published: September 2022

The aim of the article is to present the main characteristics of things in the Polish civil law, with a particular emphasis on real property. According to the Polish Civil Code, real property includes land, buildings or parts of buildings. A thing, including a real property, is a normative concept, limited under the Polish law to self-contained material objects. The material nature of the land may raise doubts due to the fact that it is a “part of the earth's surface” (Article 46 § 1 of the Civil Code). The land thus understood is only “materialized” by objects located on or below the surface. However, the scope of acts related to the exercise of the ownership title is determined by the framework of the permissible use of space, i.e., the socio-economic purpose of land (Article 143 of the Civil Code). Then again, a building or its part may constitute a real property separate from the land in the cases specified in special regulations. These regulations distinguish not only between buildings and premises, but also between parts of buildings that are non-separated premises or a common property related to the perpetual usufruct of land in a building in which residential apartments have been singled out as distinct separate properties.
Visual mediation in ELT

From the early stages of humankind´s history, images have played a striking role in human beings´ life and existence. Though it is still unknown, Prehistoric Cave Paintings may have revealed important data about human beings´ beliefs and ritual practices at that time, being this the beginning of language development as stated by Becky Little. Image has been part of man´s culture and social life. This presence has been intensified by visual pollution as a characteristic of contemporary times due to ICT advance. Today, visual and audiovisual discourses prevail, that is why, Higher Education must work to achieve trainees´ visual literacy and media competencies to activate critical thinking not to be seduced by image hypnotic effect. Additionally, trainees will not only be media consumers but also media producers who could be able to develop their own media production for learning.

This paper examines the use of gradual release of responsibility for effective curriculum delivery in an inclusive setting for better education service delivery in secondary schools in Bauchi state. It emphasizes the application and utilization of components of the gradual release of responsibility model in teaching and learning in an inclusive education. The paper also looks into Teaching strategies in form of gradual release of responsibility with strong vertical alignment and purposeful instruction, which pave way for the removal of the barrier that exist between the normal and special students in term of their performance in academia, gradual release of responsibility serves as a means for addressing such challenges, thereby allowing students in an inclusive education setting learn easily. The paper, however, laments that with vertical alignment of content and learning experience through Continuity and Sequence, students who ﬁnd literacy and numeracy tasks difﬁcult can learn and perform better, thereby concretizing their understanding as well as compete with normal students. The paper then suggests that Curriculum planners should make strong position in adopting strong vertical curriculum alignment and purposeful instruction (Gradual Release of Responsibility) in planning curriculum for inclusive education.

Corruption in the public sector has become the key factor eroding good governance and developmental aspirations of many countries of Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. This paper examined the effect of public sector corruption on local government administration in the Rivers State Local Government Service Commission (RSLGSC), between 2009 – 2019. The paper adopted the structural-functionalist theory as its analytical framework and relied on data generated via a four (4) Point Likert Scale Structured Questionnaire. 170 respondents representing the sample size of the paper was derived from a population of 295 staff of the RSLGSC using the Taro Yamane formula. The paper employed a survey research approach. Generated quantitative data was analyzed using tables and simple percentage and statistical method, while the proposition was tested using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 21.0 data output). The paper reveals that there is a nexus between public sector corruption and poor local government administration and that these have hampered greatly the performance of most local government in Rivers State. Also, the paper revealed that the prevalent executive and administrative rascality, looting of public funds and other corrupt practices that pervade the RSLGSC is responsible for irregular staff promotion and unmerited staff recruitment going in the commission. As such, the paper recommends amongst others that; the commission as a governmental structure should be proactive and exercise the needed political will that is required to formulate and implement internal administrative policies and procedures that will reduce fraud and illegal practices.
DEMARCATION OF INDIGENOUS LANDS IN BRAZIL AND HEALTH CARE OF ORIGINATING PEOPLE
Authors: Ribeiro Larissa Leslye , Alves Tathiane Francisco , de Oliveira Araújo Emanoel , Lisboa da Rocha Vinicius , Simonato Luciana Estevam
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE: Assessment of the social context of Brazilian indigenous peoples, seeking correlations between conflicts over land demarcation and the poor health condition of this population. METHODS: The search was carried out in September 2021 using the method: problem identification, literature search, evaluation and analysis of the obtained data and construction of the literature review. RESULTS: Since colonization, there has been a great loss of indigenous peoples' rights over their territories, with recognition of their rights only in 1988. In the current scenario, there is an attempt to protect and guarantee these rights in real terms by the National Foundation for the Indigenous (Fundação Nacional do índio [FUNAI]) and, in the health sphere, by the Subsystem of Indigenous Health Care (Subsistema de Atenção à Saúde Indígena [SASI]), created in 1999. Such public agencies are under great governmental pressure, mainly by the Rural Caucus, creating great insecurity, harming the health and quality of life of these groups. CONCLUSION: Despite the constitutional guarantee of the rights of native peoples, the demarcation of land is still an open agenda that makes the guaranteed continuity of village development unstable, weakening the context of mental and physical health of these citizens, as well as the provision of care and provision of effective care.

A macedón folklór terület érdekes jelensége volt az 1970-es évekig fennmaradt, majd a gyermekjátékokban továbbélt hagyomány, a húsvéti drámai szokások, az úgynevezett gacskák eljátszása, Porecse régióban. A szokásokat elsősorban a Jankovics nővérek és Vera Klicskova regisztrálta, akiknek a terepmunkáiból részletes leírást kapunk. Ma a ezeknek a játékoknak egyes részeit megfigyelhetjük Makedonszki Brodban, felújított formában. Előző számunkban, a cikk első részében a húsvéti gacskák egy részét mutattuk be. Ebben a második részben további játékokat mutatunk be, kiegészítve a játékok gyűjtések alapján készült listáját. Ezután a szokások és a Dionüszosz-kultusz nyomainak kapcsolatát vizsgáljuk, mozgásos modellek elemzésének tükrében. Elkülönülten vizsgáljuk a szokássor keretét adó két rituális táncot. Végül leírjuk azt a szűkebb régiót, ahol terepmunka leírások alapján ilyen jellegű táncok  és játékok megtalálhatóak voltak.
Abstract
An interesting phenomenon of the Macedonian folklore area was the tradition that survived until the 1970s and then survived in children's games: the dramatic custom of Easter, the so-called gachki in Poreche region. The customs were registered primarily by the Jankovich sisters and Vera Klichkova, whose fieldwork gives a detailed description about them. Today, some parts of these games can be observed in Makedonski Brod in a renewed form. In our previous issue, in the first part of the article, we introduced some of the Easter gachki. In this second section, we present additional plays, supplementing the list of plays based on collections. We then examine the relationship between the customs and traces of the cult of Dionysus in light of the analysis of movement models. We examine separately the two ritual dances that form the framework of the play-serial. Finally, we describe the narrower region where such dances could be found based on fieldwork descriptions.

Európában és a keresztény világ tájain sok helyen vannak források, természetes vizek, amelyekhez csodák köthetők, és amelyeket vallásos tisztelet övez. Nagy számban találkozunk szent forrásokkal a Balkán-félszigeten élő katolikus és ortodox népek körében is, amelyek köré gazdag folklór hagyomány épült az évszázadok során. Ebben az írásban több szent forrást mutatok be Macedónia területéről. Ezek a források többnyire zarándokhelyként működő kolostorok területén vagy más szakrális helyeken találhatók, és napjainkban is vonzzák a zarándokokat, akik  a gyógyulás reményében, a szent víz gyógyító erejében bízva keresik fel őket.

Abstract
At several locations in Europe and elsewhere in the Christian world, there are wells, springs and other sources of water that are associated with wonders and magic and, for the same token, are regarded with religious devotion. Stories, beliefs, as well as profane and lay traditions connected to them are also present among the Catholic and Orthodox peoples living on the Balkan Peninsula. In this study, I intend to briefly describe specific examples of this kind in Macedonia, which have evolved into local or national destinations of pilgrimage on their own, due to wonderful instances of heeling and not just because they are connected to a nearby place of worship.

MACEDÓN RITUÁLIS TÁNCHAGYOMÁNY JELLEGZETESSÉGEI
Authors: BÓLYA ANNA MÁRIA
Published: September 2022

Absztrakt
A macedón terepen, kulturális, történelmi sajátosságokból adódóan, ma is találhatók rituális értelmű táncok. 2010 és 2018 között végzett terepmunkák során ezeket gyűjtöttük és elemeztük. A terepmunka mellett forrásainkat 20. századi leírások és terepmunka gyűjtések képezték. Öt helyszínen vizsgáltuk meg a legfőbb macedón évköri ünnepek szokásait: karácsonyi ünnepkör Stip vidékén, vízkereszt a Kicsevo melletti Kopacska terület Lavcsani falujában, Lázár-nap a Radovis melletti Inyevo faluban, húsvét Porecse területen és György-nap a mijak területen. A vizsgálat célja a rituális tánchagyomány néphithez való kapcsolódásainak feltérképezése, keresztény tartalmak kapcsolódásának felderítése volt. A cikk a monografikus kutatás eredményéről ad rövid tézisszerű összegzést.  
Absztrakt
On the Macedonian folklore territory, due to cultural and historical peculiarities, ritual dances still exist today. We collected and analyzed them during fieldworks between 2010 and 2018. In addition to fieldwork, our sources were 20th century descriptions and fieldwork collections. We examined the customs of the main Macedonian feasts at five locations: a Christmas celebration in Shtip region, Epiphany in the village of Lavchani in Kopachka area near Kichevo, Lazarus Day in the village of Injevo near Radovish, Easter in Poreche region and St. George's Day in the Miyak area. The aim of the study was to map the connections of the ritual dance tradition to the folk belief, to explore the relations to Christian contents. The article gives a short thesis-like summary of the results of the monographic research.

Published: September 2022

El uso descontrolado de antibióticos ha provocado un problema de salud mundial, provocando que las bacterias sean resistentes a los antibióticos. Una herramienta para combatir este problema son los medicamentos suicidas, aquellos principios activos que al administrarse se unen irreversiblemente a las enzimas bacterianas que inactivan a los antibióticos. El ácido clavulánico, es un compuesto químico que se une a las enzimas (ß-lactamasas) de la bacteria, permitiendo que el antibiótico ßlactámico pueda cumplir su función sin interferencias. En este artículo podrás conocer cómo el ácido clavulánico lleva a cabo este mecanismo de inhibición y su analogía con el “Caballo de Troya”.
A bábterápia és a sématerápia szinergizmusainak ötvözése a pszichoterápiás munkában
Authors: Zsuga Judit
Published: September 2022

A bábterápia a bábjáték nevelő célzatú hatásaira, a bábjátékkal való fejlesztésre épül, és egyedi eszközei révén fejti ki terápiás hatásait. A sématerápia az 1990-es években megjelent, pszichoterápiás irányzat, ami a pszichiátriai zavarok széles skáláján használható. Eszköztárában meghatározó jelentőségű a sajátos dramaturgiájú gyakorlat típus, a székmunka, ami a szerepjáték és perspektívaváltás eszközeivel segíti a pszichés folyamatok megismerését és kedvező irányba terelését. Ebből a szempontból érdemes megvizsgálni a bábterápia nyújtotta többlet lehetőségeket.

A báb- és sématerápia szinergizmusára építve bemutatásra kerül egy olyan mese, mely a sématerápia elméletén alapulva, a sémamódokkal való munka számára nyújt keretet, a bábterápia eszköztárát segítségül hívva.
