Authors: Abolfazli Mina , Jalalinia Seyedeh Fatemeh , Khadem Ebrahim , Haghani Hamid , Varaei Shokoh
Published: October 2021

Chronic low back pain (LBP) is common disorder among nurses. The present study compared the effect of rubbing joint oil (chamomile oil product) and sesame oil on the control of chronic LBP in nurses. This study was a double-blind randomized clinical trial conducted on 74 nurses with chronic LBP. The samples were divided into two groups using the randomization method. In the first group, joint oil (chamomile oil product), and in the second group, sesame oil was rubbed twice a day for three weeks. The pain severity was assessed using a visual analog scale before, one, two, three, and four weeks after the intervention. The second outcomes including absenteeism and satisfaction with treatment were also assessed in two groups. Moreover, the mean pain severity decreased, and in both groups, the effect of rubbing both oils was the same after the first week and this effect continued after the fourth week (P <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between both groups in terms of absenteeism (P> 0.05) and both groups were satisfied (62/2%) with the effects of oil rubbing. Rubbing joint oil (Chamomile oil product) and Sesame oil is a simple and non-invasive method for controlling LBP. Although the effects of rubbing both oils on pain control were the same, the consequences of low back pain control with rubbing oil were significant.

Published: October 2021

Objectives: This research was carried out to determine the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (TCM) practices used by women experiencing Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

Method: The sample of this descriptive study comprised 357 women who applied to the “Health Practice and Research Center Gynecology and Obstetrics” polyclinic of a university in Turkey. Study data were collected by using the Personal Information Form and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) to determine the life situation of women with PMS.

Results: It was determined that 82.9% of women experienced PMS and that 83.8% of women living with PMS used TCM practices. The most commonly used TCM practices of the women were determined as follows: hot application on abdomen (90.7%), hot shower (85.1%), fennel tea (26.2%), walking (23.8%), massage (21.8%), yoga (11.7%), and music (10.5%). Almost all of the women undertook hot application to the abdomen, hot showers, massages, walking, and yoga (99.1%-99.5%-90.7%-96.6%-93.1%). Overall, 80% of the women who listened to music and 60% of the women who drank fennel tea experienced benefits as a result.

Conclusion: PMS is a commonly observed health issue among women, and many frequently use TCM practices to cope. Hot applications were found to be the most commonly used TCM.

Published: October 2021

Background: Different technologies have been used in order to improve the endometrial condition as well as the quality of embryos; however, still the implantation process could fail. Endometrial Scratching (ES) has been proposed by many studies and revealed conflicting results.
Objective: The study Aims to investigate the effect of ES on improving the Clinical Pregnancy Rate (CPR) and Live Birth Rate (LBR).
 Methodology: This is a retrospective study was carried out at Libyan National Fertility Centre. 188 Infertile women were included in the study in two different groups. 95 patients who underwent ES and 93 as control group. Cases with male factor infertility, history of surgical sterilization, premature ovarian failure, endometriosis and other hormonal disturbance (thyroid /prolactin) had been excluded from the study.
Results: The CPR was positively affected by scratching procedure among infertile women after perform ES (p value 0.022). The secondary infertile patients have got significant benefit after performing ES by improving the CPR (P value 0.045). The ES has improved the CPR on patients with previous history of failed Intra-Cytoplasmic Semen Injection ICSI (P value 0.043). However, there was no statistically significant difference to the effect of ES on LBR.
Conclusion: The study found that the ES has a positive role to improve the implantation among specific group of infertile couples. It is recommended to perform ES for couples with secondary infertility and previously failed ICSI cycle.

Background: Autism was once thought to be an uncommon developmental disorder, but recent studies have reported increased prevalence and the condition is now thought to occur in at least 1% of children. It is being identified in increasing numbers in Bangladesh. In a study conducted by WHO and National Institute of Mental Health the prevalence of Autism is found to be 8 per 1000 in Bangladesh.

Objective: To find out the development in behavior of children with ASD.

Methods: This Randomized control trial study among the patient attending in Department of Psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study was carried out 6 months from Januaruy, 2019 to Jun, 2019. A total of 40 children (6 years or under 6 years) having Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), that of randomly selected (lottery method) 20 children received a specific dietary intervention was considered as group I and 20 children who not received a specific dietary intervention was considered as group II, who came in the MTW (More than word) clinic were included in this study. Children having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) of both sexes who were 6 years old and below.

Results: Behavioral domains of children with ASD are the main outcome variables. Autism Spectrum Disorders was more common in male children, where male to female ratio was 5.7:1 in group I and 19:1 in group II and 9:1 in the whole study patients. Most of the patients came from Dhaka district in both groups, which was 16(80.0%) in group I and 18(90.0%) in group II. No schooling patients was found 14(70.0%) in group I and 13(65.0%) in group II.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Regional variation in cancer outcomes is undesirable. We aim to evaluate regional variation in lung cancer in Ireland focusing on stage at presentation.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent surgical resection of primary lung cancer from June 2013 to March 2020. Patients included attended the St. Vincent’s University Hospital rapid access lung clinic (RALC). Patients were divided into two groups depending on regional variability with Dublin and Wicklow assigned as Group 1 and the remainder assigned to Group 2. Pathological tumour size and lymph node status were compared between the two groups.
Results: Complete data was available on 152 patients. Group 1 (n=97) had significantly lower median tumour size (24.74 mm) compared to Group 2 (31.72 mm) (P = 0.026). Patients in group 1 had significantly lower stage (stage II 13.4%, stage III 9.3%) compared to Group 2 (stage II 29%, stage III 16.3%) (P = 0.013). Group 1 showed a lower incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (21.6%) compared to Group 2 (30.9%).
Conclusion: Regional variation in cancer presentation is evident in this study. Larger tumors and more advance stage are associated with a more rural location. This is seen in a clinic service with equal access of both populations to diagnostic modalities and treatment, suggesting differences at presentation rather than evaluation.

Manure Pulverizers and Applicators: A Review
Authors: Mohan S. Sai , Jayan P.R.
Published: October 2021

Background: Manures (FYM, vermicompost, edible oil cakes etc.) are important resources which provide nutrients that could reduce bagged fertilizer costs and improves the crop growth and performance. A well-managed manure is a valuable resource in providing nutrients for crop production. As manure dries, nutrients not only get concentrated on a weight basis, but also on a volume basis due to structural changes. Compared to fresh manure, it is easier to handle and transport because of decreased volume and weight. Hence, it is necessary to pulverize the manure when it is applied to the land. Methods: Various research works previously carried out on manure pulverizers and applicators have been considered in the study to come up with an idea of developing a tractor powered manure pulverizer cum applicator. Studies concluded the importance of manure pulverization, effect of wind, angle of repose and coefficient of friction in the designing and development of manure dispensing equipment. Result: Manure pulverizer integrated with tractor PTO along with an applicator was designed and developed. The machine consists of KAU manure pulverizer, feed chute, blower, frame and hitch, gearbox and extension shaft. Power to the gearbox was drawn from the tractor PTO. Dried manure was continuously fed through the feeding chute and rotating blade helps in pulverizing the manure until it achieves a size smaller than the sieve. The pulverized manure reaches the blower unit by means of a chute and gets discharged through the flexible pipes. Maximum field capacity was noted at a traveling speed of 3.0 km h-1. A larger application rate of 1387.1 kg ha-1 for cow dung, 1624.4 kg ha-1 for goat faecal pellets and 1618.6 kg ha-1 for neem cake was noted at an engine rpm of 2500, forward speed of 2 km h-1 with a field capacity of 0.31 ha h-1.

Authors: Reddy M. Raveendra , Jayamma P. , Srilatha V.
Published: October 2021

Background: Sapota (Achras sapota L. or Manilkara zapota L.) is one of the major fruit crops grown in subtropical countries and it contains sugars, acids, protein, phenolics carotenoids, ascorbic acid, minerals and vitamins. Growing of lactic acid bacteria in fruit juices for health benefits and improving the nutritional and sensory attributes of the fruit juice is becoming more prominent in the present days. In recent years, consumer preference for non dairy food products has increased especially for lactose intolerance people. The present study is aimed to develop probioticated sapota fruit juice using probiotic bacteria like Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei. Methods: Sapota fruit juice was prepared and inoculated with four different species of proven probiotic lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei) and incubated at 30oC and 37oC for 72 hours. Population dynamics of lactic acid bacteria and their impact on physicochemical properties of probiotic sapota juice during fermentation at two different temperatures were studied. Sensory evaluation was also studied to know the overall acceptability of the probiotic fruit juice. Result: The pH decreased and titratable acidity (TA) increased in all probiotic sapota juice samples incubated at 30oC and 37oC for 72 hours and the maximum titratable acidity was recorded by T4 (Lactobacillus plantarum) followed by T1 (L. acidophilus). All the three carbohydrates like glucose, fructose and sucrose present in sapota juice samples were utilized by the lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. Total phenolic concentration in the samples increased during fermentation. Viable cell counts in both samples kept at 30oC and 37oC gradually increased from 0 to 48 hours and then decreased. Sensory evaluation was conducted randomly for all the samples and no significant difference was recorded.

Authors: Senthilkumar D. , Paramasivam A. , Ramachandran M.
Published: October 2021

Background: Forages of high quality are the most valuable commodity of any livestock activity and they serve as the basis for most of the rations in a forage-based diet. The lack of good quality seedlings/seeds, notably improved varieties, is the primary reason for the slow adoption of improved forage production technologies. Traditional establishment of bajra napier forage incurs more labour costs, harvesting sett material, transporting, preparing two budded setts and carrying to the planting area. Nearly three to four tons of green leaves stem materials are wasted for planting one hectare of area. In this situation, an alternate method is required to produce high-quality seedlings in a short period. This research objective compared single node bud chip seedling in different protray cell cavities and pot mixtures. Methods: The green shade net field study was carried out between 2019 and 2020, the effect of different pro-tray sizes (50, 60 and 98 cell cavities) and potting mixture (red earth, cocopeat, farmyard manure, vermicompost and root growth promoters like phosphobacteria bio-fertilizer and indole acetic acid (IAA) was taken in different combination for the establishment of Bajra Napier hybrid variety Co (BN)-5 seedling by using single node bud chip technology. The observation was taken up to 30 days in related to seedling growth and development. The observed parameter was statistically analysed in SPSS software. Result: Among the three different protray cavities and five different pot mixtures, 60 cavity protray with red earth + cocopeat + vermicompost (2:1:1) results revealed significant differences (p greater than 0.05) in seedling growth parameters among the different protray and growing media. The maximum seedling growth parameters like germination, numbers of the leaf, plant height, leaf length, width and root length (94.4 per cent, 8.17, 39.12 cm, 38.14 cm, 2.5 cm and 30.8 cm) were observed at 30 days aged seedlings followed by red earth + cocopeat + farmyard manure (2:1:1 ratio) and treated with IAA substance in 60 cavity protray.

Published: October 2021

Background: Choline is a nutrient with numerous metabolic functions, but its requirements for ruminants are unknown. The supplementation with bypass choline could enhance productivity. Methods: Twenty-four male lambs (Rambouillet 23.5 kg±3.17 kg initial BW) were fed a basal diet with treatments which consisted of a control and oral doses of ruminally-protected choline (4 g/d RPC) and plant-based choline (4 g/d Biocholine) in a completely randomized design with initial weight as a covariate. The experiment was conducted for 42 days during which live weight, dry matter intake, carcass characteristics, blood metabolites and basic hemograms were measured. Result: The daily gain in lambs was similar between treatments. Intake was higher in lambs given Biocholine (1.32 kg/d). The L* (represents the light to dark color) value and mineral content in the meat were improved with both sources of choline. Blood triglycerides increased by RPC compared with the other treatments and cholesterol was reduced by Biocholine. Alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity decreased by effect of choline. Hematological parameters were affected by choline supplementation regardless of the source; erythrocyte, monocytes and lymphocytes count decreased with both sources of choline in growing lambs.

Authors: Prasad Durga , Gupta Kshitij , Singh Virendra Pratap
Published: October 2021

Background: The pulses are important crop of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Among the pulses, mungbean is an important. Despite the multifaceted importance of this crop, its production could not be stabilized in the Uttar Pradesh as well as in the country due to several biotic constraints like diseases and insect-pests leading to considerable yield losses. Among several diseases affecting mungbean, cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by Cercospora canescens Ellis and Martin is one of the most important fungal diseases occurring regularly in the mungbean growing areas during the warm and humid weather. Methods: Experiments were conducted during two cropping seasons i.e. Kharif 2019 and 2020 to find out an efficient management strategy for this disease. In first experiment, 9 fungicides were assessed against CLS during both the seasons. In second experiment, 200 germplasm of mungbean were evaluated for resistance against cercospora leaf spot. Result: Among nine different fungicide treatments evaluated individually and as well as in combinations, spraying Carbendazim twice after first appearance of symptoms and second at 15 days’ interval, gave maximum reduction in the incidence and severity of Cercospora leaf spot i.e. 45.57% and 58.45%, respectively along with significant enhancement (53.39%) in grain yield over the unprotected crop followed by treatment with Carbendazim + Mancozeb which resulted in 35.44% and 52.65% reduction in incidence and severity respectively and 44.88% enhancement in yield. Treatment with Captan + Hexaconazole was found to be least effective to reduce the disease incidence/ severity as well as to increase the crop yield. In second field experiment out of 200 mungbean genotypes evaluated against cercospora leaf spot during two consecutive crop seasons, four genotypes viz., PDM 04-123, PDM 54, EC520034-1 and EC 520022 were found to be resistant against cercospora leaf spot disease.

Publishing in Local ELT Journals: A Way to Decolonialize Knowledge
Authors: Cárdenas Melba Libia
Published: October 2021

Educational institutions, particularly those for higher education, seek to ensure their visibility and valid indicators for institutional accreditation processes through the publications of their teachers. Their projection is intimately associated with the circulation of their production in accredited publications whose reputations depend on their positions in prestigious rankings, databases, and indexing systems. That is why Colombia, in recent years, has experienced an increase in the number of scientific journals published in the country. This phenomenon was a reaction by academics to the obstacles for publishing in renowned journals, generally edited in hegemonic or central contexts, where it is presumed that knowledge is disseminated for the whole world. In this article, I analyze the role played by locally edited journals in the decolonialization of knowledge. I base my analysis on studies carried out in the fields of the English teacher as researcher and writer, academic writings, and the publication of scientific journals. I identify the contributions, suggestions and challenges for publications in the English Language Teaching area. I also stress the importance of strengthening professional communities, encouraging greater participation by professors in the dissemination of their work, and the need to value knowledge generated in peripheral contexts, without ignoring links with the global world.
Reglamentos ejecutivos e independientes: ¿una distinción obsoleta para determinar la intervención del Consejo de Estado?
Authors: Quereda Sabater Juan
Published: October 2021

En este artículo se analizan, en primer lugar, los intentos del Tribunal Supremo para definir los conceptos de reglamento ejecutivo y reglamento independiente, conceptos que resultan esenciales para determinar qué proyectos normativos deben remitirse al Consejo de Estado y órganos autonómicos equivalentes. Aunque consideramos que el alto tribunal no ha conseguido delimitar estos conceptos de forma precisa y coherente, puede observarse también que, desde la aprobación de la Ley Orgánica 3/1980, de 22 de abril, del Consejo de Estado, se ha producido un significativo incremento del tipo de proyectos reglamentarios que se remiten a estos órganos. Este incremento se debe tanto a la ampliación en la jurisprudencia del concepto de reglamento ejecutivo, a una paralela reducción de los conceptos de reglamento independiente y organizativo y al incremento de la actividad legislativa estatal y autonómica. Este incremento, que valoramos de forma positiva desde el punto de vista de la calidad normativa, es, sin embargo, una ampliación todavía incompleta, que deja sin el asesoramiento del Consejo de Estado u órganos consultivos autonómicos numerosos proyectos normativos de incuestionable importancia. Proponemos, como alternativa al sistema actual, un criterio de delimitación más sencillo, de carácter principalmente formal, que haría preceptiva la remisión a estos órganos de todos los proyectos reglamentarios.

Se propone en las conclusiones que la Historia debe mostrar relatos plurales que ayuden a generar una mejor conexión intercultural en el mundo global en el que vivimos y a superar los relatos nacionalistas excluyentes.
¿Nos olvidamos del público al publicar? Una modesta proposición para no olvidar para qué pensamos
Authors: Seoane Pinilla Julio
Published: October 2021

En el presente artículo se plantea en primer lugar el modo en que quienes reflexionamos sobre lo público hemos optado por publicar sometiéndonos a baremos de excelencia académica proporcionados por empresas de medición de la calidad científica. En segundo lugar, afirmaré que ello nos ha llevado a apostar por el aplauso de nuestros pares y para ello hemos renunciado a los espacios de intervención a los que en principio deseaba dirigirse nuestra reflexión. Siendo esta la situación se propone apostar por un baremo de excelencia que se fije más en el rendimiento social y ciudadano del pensamiento en el convencimiento de que la democracia necesita de reflexión situada antes que preocupada por dar cuenta de baremos de publicación
Innovaciones democráticas
Authors: Herranz Cristina
Published: October 2021

El concepto de innovaciones democráticas ha ido ganando relevancia en la última década. En general, se refiere a un interés renovado por involucrar a la ciudadanía en los asuntos públicos, buscando incluirles en el proceso de toma de decisiones políticas. Este trabajo tiene un doble objetivo. Por un lado, busca ahondar en el desarrollo y evolución del concepto en la literatura especializada, mostrando cuáles son sus antecedentes teóricos, definiciones y conceptos con los que se relaciona. Por otro, este análisis se complementa con un estudio de tendencias generales en una de las bases de datos que recoge mayor número de experiencias innovadoras.
La metamorfosis de la teoría económica bajo la hegemonía de la doctrina neoliberal: la influencia de la academia y sus consecuencias
Authors: González Sarro Iván
Published: October 2021

En el texto se comenta el ajuste y acomodación a los fundamentos teóricos del «pensamiento único» que se ha venido produciendo en la disciplina económica, como ciencia social, durante la época de hegemonía de la doctrina neoliberal desde el año 1973. Se podría decir que los postulados del pensamiento neoliberal, de alguna manera, han colonizado a las ciencias sociales en general, y particularmente a la doctrina económica. Se explica cómo en este proceso la academia ha tenido un papel relevante, por cuanto la lógica neoliberal también de una manera progresiva se ha ido introduciendo y consolidando en el ámbito universitario –principal bastión de la academia–, adquiriendo una dimensión global. Se analizan las consecuencias de todo ello, vinculadas a la «mercantilización» de la educación superior, a la idea de la formación universitaria con una orientación meramente «profesional» y desprovista, por tanto, de cualquier inquietud transformadora, a la ausencia del pensamiento crítico y la exploración de «otros mundos posibles», entre otras.

Modern people inherently carry stress, psychological anxiety, and lack of communication. Therapy is a resource that can relieve stress and psychological anxiety for easing such tension. This is one of the reasons why modern people desperately need therapy. During the "healing" process through therapy, people experience an improvement in defense against diseases and natural healing, which leads to holistic treatment that integrates physical, psychological, social, and spiritual healing. Therapy has been widely used in five senses therapy that stimulates multiple sensations However, in addition to the five senses, Snoezelen therapy that includes dynamic sensations has recently emerged. Snozelen therapy can be applied as an interventional method for relaxation, stress prevention and management in the field of psychological health, as well as being more widely used as part of a variety of sensory stimulation therapies for people with physical problems.oThere are now numerous therapy pouring out for well-being and improved quality of life, but comparative research for perception, importance, and understanding of therapy has been insufficient, making it difficult to select the therapy that suits oneself. Therefore, we hope that the comparative analysis of Snoezelen therapy and five senses therapy in this study will serve as an opportunity to elevate the quality of life with the enhanced understanding and perception of therapy and more effective therapy treatment.

Authors: Kim Do-Eun , Kim Young-Sam
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This study seeks to discover how customized smart beauty recognition can produce positive results, and to demonstrate that it affects brand attitudes and purchasing intentions of buyers. Pine & Gilmore's experience theory will be used as a basis for this study. This study focuses on customized cosmetics as a type of beauty product.Methods: Data were gathered from 255 women between the ages 20 and 40 from all over Korea. Different tools were used to analyze the data, including the SPSS WIN 21.0 program, Varimax for regression analysis, and Cronbach's α coefficient for reliability analysis. Differences in characteristics were conducted using a one-way-ANOVA, follow-up verification, and correlation analysis between variables and influence verification.Results: Customized cosmetics helped accurately diagnose and prescribe the consumer’s condition with measuring devices. The smart beauty service that the consumer’s experienced was face measurement and virtual makeup. In the future, the consumer ’s would like to experience the effect of skin care before and after skin condition measurement as a smart beauty service. Looking at the impact of Fine & Gilmore's theory of experience economy on brand attitude and purchase intention, the higher the educational experience (β=0.313), the more realistic the experience (β=0.195), the higher the aesthetic experience (β=.357) and the higher the brand attitude (β=0.667). The intention to purchase clearly increases with these positive experiences.Conclusion: This study concluded that although customized cosmetics are highly reliable but expensive, buyers still want to purchase them at a reasonable price. It was also discovered that smart beauty services want improvements in measurement errors, the reliability of the information provided, and the ability to perform additional comparative analysis. Moreover, like Pine & Gilmore's theory of experience economy, it was determined that the higher the satisfaction consumers have after their experience, the higher the brand image and the intention to purchase. We hope to use this theory as important information for continuing research in the beauty industry.
