Active principles cand be extracted from medicinal and aromatic plants using different methods depending on the type and condition of the plant, the active compounds to be obtained, the nature of the solvent used in the whole process (water, alcohol). State-of-the-art methods for the separation and quantification of bioactive compounds from plant materials have led to rapid and efficient development in the pharmaceutical, food and agricultural sectors. Compared to the extraction techniques in the past, it is noticed that the ones currently used are techniques with considerable selectivity and as a result, by using non-toxic solvents, they have the characteristics of ecological techniques. Recent research studies describe mathematical models that have recorded the highest extraction rate and capacity of essential oils and volatile compounds from medicinal and aromatic plants. This paper presents a review of different types of mathematical models used for the purpose of obtaining active compounds from plants in the largest possible quantity.
Radial Centrifugal Fan Redesign and New Technologies Using CFD Applications
Authors: Budea Sanda , Iordan Ion-Bogdan
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this article is to redesign centrifugal radial fans used in HVAC installations, using the analysis of aerodynamic flows and velocities distributions in the fan. Numerical simulations based on the reference model from the Pumps and Fans laboratory were performed using the SolidWorks program, Flow Simulation module. Following the simulations, information regarding the fluid flow in the machine rotor and casing, the most suitable shape of the blades resulted, and redesign solutions through 3D printing technologies were proposed. Numerical simulations with Flow Simulation on three-dimensional models were carried out, for a better analysis of the volume of air passing through the fan, but also for the prediction of some negative effects: the appearance of vortices that lead to high noises/acoustic disturbances, the appearance of additional vibrations, but also sudden and uncontrolled variations in the pressure force. Following the numerical analysis, it was found that for the new blade profiles the velocities are uniform, which greatly reduces the noise and vibrations in the operation of the fan. The redesign also aims to reduce the energy consumption of these fans.
OBSERVING THE ACCESSABILITY OF DISABLED GROUPS IN MOSQUE: A CASE STUDY IN MATARAM CITY
Authors: Naamy Nazar
Published: October 2023

This article tries to explain the practice of da’wah inclusion over disabled groups in houses of worship. The research using qualitative methods with a case study approach was carried out in Lombok and disability data was taken from "NTB in numbers". The data of this disability group were analyzed using Axel Honneth's theory of recognition. The study reveal that in practice da’wah inclusion there is a gap in the pattern of da’wah and the sociological reality of da’wah in Lombok, especially in Mosque. Based on data on disabilities in Lombok, it was found that out of a hundred houses of worship such as Mosques, Temples, Monasteries, and Churches, they have not been inclusive in responding to disabled groups. This can be seen from the indicators that there is no access road for people with disabilities, wheel facilities, Quran Braille, hearing aids, lack of religious references that can make it easier for people with disabilities to study religious studies independently, and sign language interpreters of lecture materials, as well as recognition in religious and social names.

Published: October 2023

Infant feeding directly affects the nutritional status of children under 2-years of age and, ultimately, impact child survival. Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) infection brings even more challenges to the feeding practices of HIV positive mothers due to adjustments with the aim of preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission. The perceptions of HIV positive mothers on the feeding options adopted for their exposed infants at Beitbridge District Hospital, Zimbabwe, was explored. A qualitative approach was utilized for the study using purposive sampling to select a sample of 11 mothers on whom in-depth structured interviews were conducted. Knowledge gaps pertaining to the recommended feeding options with most of them not adhering to the ideal feeding options existed amongst HIV naïve mother. Some practiced exclusive breastfeeding, others used mixed feeding. Constraints included culture which has a strong impact on feeding options and lack of partner and family support, coupled with low HIV status disclosure levels. Ways of improving adherence to ideal feeding options were suggested as educating and counselling HIV positive mothers on feeding options and follow-ups to enhance ideal feeding practices. Recommendations were to capacitate the midwives with the requisite information to facilitate education and empowerment of the mothers for informed infant feeding choices through review of curriculum. Review of strategies for enforcing a breastfeeding environment was also recommended. There is also need to address cultural, autonomy and stigma challenges through scaling up psycho-social and gender empowerment strategies for women. Promotion of the integration of HIV infant feeding strategies into other child health services is essential.

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde 100 Yılda Kültür Diplomasisi Gelişimi
Authors: GARAKHANOVA Nabat
Published: October 2023

Türkiye'nin kültür diplomasisi, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun zengin tarihi ve kültürel mirasından, Atatürk'ün modernleştirici reformlarına kadar uzanan geniş bir yelpazede şekillenmiştir. Osmanlı dönemi, Türkiye'nin kültürel ve sosyal yapısını derinlemesine etkilemiş, Atatürk ise Batı ile entegrasyonu ve modernizasyonu hedeflemiştir. Soğuk Savaş döneminde, Türkiye Batı ile yakın ilişkiler kurarak NATO'ya üye olmuş ve Amerikan yardımlarıyla ekonomik ve askeri destek görmüştür. Bu dönem, Türkiye için fırsatlar kadar riskler ve zorluklar da getirmiştir.

Kültür diplomasisi, Türkiye'nin uluslararası alanda "yumuşak güç" kullanarak etkili bir rol almasını sağlamıştır. Devlet destekli kurumlar olan Yunus Emre Enstitüsü ve TİKA, bu diplomasi çabalarının ana taşıyıcıları olarak faaliyet göstermektedir. Yunus Emre Enstitüsü, Türkçe'nin yurtdışında öğretilmesi ve Türk kültürü ve sanatının tanıtılması gibi konulara odaklanırken, TİKA yurtdışında kalkınma projeleri ve insani yardım çalışmaları yapmaktadır.

Türkiye'nin iç ve dış politikası, kültür diplomasisi çabalarını olumlu ya da olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Etnik ve dini çatışmalar, bu tür diplomasi çabalarının etkinliğini sınırlayabilir. Türkiye-AB ilişkileri, üniversite değişim programları ve kültürel turizm aracılığıyla güçlenmektedir. Türk üniversiteleri, özellikle Almanya, Fransa ve Hollanda gibi AB ülkelerinde kampüsler ve araştırma merkezleri kurarak, öğrenci değişim programları ve ortak projelerle Türkiye-AB ilişkilerini güçlendirmektedir.

Türkiye'nin Orta Doğu ile olan ilişkileri, tarihsel bağlar, kültürel etkinlikler ve jeopolitik dinamikler tarafından şekillenmektedir. Türkiye, bu bağlamda kültürel diplomasi araçlarını etkin bir şekilde kullanarak, bölgesel istikrarı teşvik etmek ve karşılıklı anlayışı artırmayı hedeflemektedir. Türkiye'nin Asya ve Amerika ile olan kültürel diplomasi faaliyetleri de benzer şekilde, tarihsel bağlar, ekonomik ilişkiler ve jeopolitik dinamikler tarafından etkilenmektedir. İç politika, dış politika ve kültürel diplomasi arasında yakın bir ilişki vardır; iç politikadaki değişiklikler, kültürel diplomasi stratejilerini etkileyebilir. Finansal ve lojistik zorluklar, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler için, kültürel diplomasi faaliyetlerinin etkinliğini sınırlayabilir.

Authors:   Research Institute for Eco-civilization, Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, Kangkang ZHANG
Published: October 2023

Environmental regulation is one of the most effective means of air pollution control. However, its heterogeneity is often neglected, which prevents in-depth study of the pollution control effects of environmental regulation and accurate and scientific control of air pollution. This paper studies the heterogeneity of the impact of environmental regulation on air pollution based on the data from 110 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2011 to 2019. This includes pre-pollution environmental regulation, post-pollution environmental regulation, as well as the efficiency of controlling exhaust emission pollution and haze pollution. The study enhances the study of the impact of environmental regulation on air pollution. It is found that: (1) Environmental regulation presents a significant driving effect on the spatial transfer characteristics of air pollution, and pre-pollution environmental regulation is more effective in suppressing air pollution emissions. (2) The level of environmental regulation exhibits significant temporal and spatial stickiness, showing positive strategic interaction characteristics, and the degree of interaction of pre-pollution environmental regulation strategies is stronger. By studying the heterogeneity of the impact of environmental regulation on air pollution, this paper reveals the heterogeneity of environmental regulation for pollution control, including spatiotemporal heterogeneity and the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulation on different air pollutant types, which provides a reference for in-depth air pollution control in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Published: October 2023

With the development of society, people are paying more and more attention to educational issues, and moral education plays an important role in human growth. However, at present, there are many unreasonable disciplinary measures in China􀆳s basic education, including insufficient awareness of educational discipline among parents, unreasonable use of disciplinary methods, lack of monitoring of the implementation results of educational discipline, and lack of discipline in place. As a result, the quality and depth of education cannot meet the needs of diverse talents, it is necessary to change the original single education paradigm to improve the quality and depth of education. This paper investigates the current situation of educational discipline in A Primary School, and deeply analyzes the reasons for these problems from both the family and the school. A series of targeted disciplinary strategies have been proposed, including establishing correct concept of discipline, strengthening teachers'personal moral qualities, using discipline reasonably, timely intervening and stopping aggressive behavior, and creating a suitable psychological environment for children. This paper aims to draw people􀆳s attention to this topic, so that more people will understand the positive role of educational discipline, an important educational tool, in promoting the healthy development of students􀆳 physical and mental health. I hope it can cause educators and even the public to think about giving up those unreasonable disciplinary methods, and make discipline a truly beneficial educational tool for children.
Green Design Strategy for Lushan Yunwu Tea Packaging Design
Authors: Wang Lu , Naeim Fauzi
Published: October 2023

Amidst the swift march of modern industry, the escalating environmental devastation has imperiled human existence, spurring the emergence of green design as a pervasive and powerful global design philosophy. Within this context, Lushan Yunwu Tea, the sole tea hailing from China's Lushan region, stands as a prime example necessitating thoughtful packaging. Sadly, the packaging design of Lushan Yunwu Tea has languished, failing to reflect its essence. Characterized by excess, insubstantiality, and superficiality, the packaging inadequacies echo the struggle against counterfeit teas due to Lushan Yunwu Tea's fragmented production landscape. Dominated by small-scale vendors, scattered farmers, and modest workshops, cost constraints perpetuate lackluster packaging. To invigorate Lushan Yunwu Tea's branding, a strategic shift towards moderation, eco-friendly materials, and innovative design techniques is imperative. Aiming for recyclable, reusable, high-quality packaging while infusing cultural and historical narratives into the design would not only elevate its image but also amplify its role as a carrier of Chinese, revolutionary, and Jiangxi cultures. Holistically, the pursuit of green packaging aligns with sustainable values, harmonizing nature and heritage in a symbiotic design embodiment.

Introduction

We determined eligibility for icosapent ethyl (EPA) treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD).

Material and methods

Prospective patients with type 2 diabetes and CAD were included from 03/2019 to 12/2020.

Results

574 patients were included; mean age 71 years, 81% males, with a high prevalence of other risk factors (81% hypertension). Mean LDL-cholesterol was 85 mg/dL, mean HbA1c 7.1%, mean triglycerides 148 mg/dL; 82% received statins. Based on National Lipid Association criteria, 31% would be eligible for EPA.

Conclusions

In this contemporary survey in consecutive, unselected CAD patients in daily practice, almost a third would be potentially eligible for EPA.
Investigating the Controlled Wood Harvesting Efficiency of Logging Operation in Akure Forest Reserve
Authors: Akinlalu Omolola, R. , Folorunso Awoseyila , Johnson Sina B.
Published: October 2023

This study attempts to investigate the controlled wood harvesting efficiency in Akure Forest Reserve in Ondo State. Specifically, the study determined the efficiency of the harvesting method being adopted in the study area. A reconnaissance survey and measurement were carried out in the study area, where data on fifty (50) trees felled were randomly selected. Tree growth variables such as the height and diameter at the base, middle, and top of both the standing trees and the extracted logs were obtained using a Spiegel relaskop and measuring tape, as well as the effective working time using a stopwatch. The diameter of the standing trees to be harvested was grouped into classes of <30cm, 30-40cm, 41-50cm, 51-60cm, 61-70cm, and >70cm. The volume, efficiency, and productivity were estimated along the different diameter classes. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Our results showed that the efficiency of the harvesting method adopted at Akure Forest Reserve was about 52%, with an average volume of 0.68m3 per log, an average effective working time per log of 0.029 hours, and a productivity of 27.43 m3/hour. The harvesting efficiency recorded was reasonably high compared to other values obtained from the previous studies for other forest reserves in Nigeria. This result can be attributed to some factors that include the experience of the operator, the equipment condition, and the environmental condition during the operation. The study, therefore, concludes and recommends that efficiency can be improved by investing in human capacity building and institutional strengthening in order to increase output, which will in turn help to meet the demand for wood products from forests.

Aim: Diastolic dysfunction (DD), which often accompanies essential hypertension (HT), can progress to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Recent studies have shown an association between chronic inflammation and HT. In this study, we aimed to investigate the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in hypertensive patients with and without DD and the relationship between NLR and DD development.
Methods: The study included 50 patients with DD and 50 patients without DD. Left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions were evaluated by echocardiography in all patients. A complete blood count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and NLR were analyzed in blood samples obtained from the patients.
Results: There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and biochemical values between the two groups. White blood cell count and NLR were significantly higher in the group with DD (p<0.001). There was a strong correlation between the presence of DD and NLR in hypertensive patients (r=0.814, p<0.001). Although CRP was between reference values in both groups, it was significantly higher in the group with DD compared to the group without DD (4.40±1.60 vs. 3.70±0.90, p=0.020).
Conclusion: NLR can be used to detect DD in patients with hypertension and is an easily accessible and inexpensive inflammatory marker.

Authors: Katı Ezgi
Published: October 2023

Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and the morphometric features of the styloid process (SP) via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: 400 SP of 200 individuals (92 males, 108 females, age range 12-81) were examined retrospectively in CBCT images in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes. The measurements of SP and clinical and incidental findings associated with styloid ligament elongation (ESP) were detected. For descriptive statistics, the mean and standard deviation are given for numerical variables. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurements. The consistency of right and left SP lengths was analyzed for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk test (p<0.05).
Results: Males (55.7%) had a substantially higher prevalence of ESP than females (33.1%) (p = 0.032). On the right side of the SP, the mean length was 26,76 mm (range: 8,7–63,3 mm), while on the left, it was 26,61 mm (range: 5,8–55,9 mm). 51 of them had bilateral lengths greater than 30 mm. The eight symptomatic patients' CBCT scans revealed SP sized anywhere from 36,6 mm to 69 mm on the right side. As incidental findings, soft tissue calsifications were detected in 5% of the 200 patients.
Conclusion: Three-dimensional imaging to identify SPE and also possible soft tissue calcifications in the maxillofacial region has a significant impact in cases with or without symptoms.

Olayımızda; davacı taraf, fındık bahçelerinden dördünü 17/02/2014 tarihinde, ikisini 24/02/2024 bitkisel ürün sigortası kapsamında Ziraat Bankası Acenteliği aracılığı ile Tarım Sigortaları Havuz İşletmesi AŞ’ye sigortalamıştır. Yaşanan don olayı ile zararın ortaya çıkmasından sonra TARSİM’in acentesi olan Ziraat Bankasına ihbarda bulunulmuş, banka 17 Şubat’ta sigortalanan dört bahçe için hasar tespiti yapıp tazminat ödemesi yaparken 24 Şubat’ta sigortalanan iki fındık bahçesi için ne hasar tespiti ne de tazminat ödemesi yapmıştır. Bunun üzerine işbu dava açılarak davacı iki fındık bahçesi için de tazminat ödemesi yapılmasını talep etmiş, yapılan yargılama neticesinde de ilk derece mahkemesi davayı kabul etmiştir. Yargıtay 11. HD ise, sigorta poliçesinde Ziraat bankasının ilgili şubesi lehine dain-i mürtehin kaydı bulunduğu, sigortadan tazminat talep etme hakkının öncelikle ilgili şubeye ait olduğu, sigortalı konumunda olan davacının ancak bankanın (dain-i mürtehinin) muvafakatini alarak tazminat isteme hakkının olacağını, bundan ötürü de yerel mahkemenin, bankanın şubesince verilecek olan muvafakat sonrasında davanın esasına girmesi gerektiği, aksi takdirde davacının aktif taraf sıfatının (husumet) varlığına ilişkin olan ve mahkemece re’sen göz önünde bulundurulması gereken bu yön üzerinde durulmadan yazılı şekilde uyuşmazlığın esasına girilmesinin hukuka aykırı olacağını ileri sürerek yerel mahkemenin kararını oy çokluğu ile bozmuştur. Çoğunluk görüşüne katılmayan karşı oy yazısında ise, çoğunlukça ileri sürülen “davacının aktif dava ehliyetinin bulunmadığı” görüşünü destekleyen hiçbir yasal düzenlemenin de mevcut olmadığını, sınırlı ayni hak sahibinin muvafakatinin bulunmamasının sigorta tazminatının sigortalıya sadece ödenmesine engel olacağı, sigorta tazminatının sigortalıya ödenmesine karar verilmesi, hüküm fıkrasında ayrıca ödeme esnasında sınırlı ayni hak sahibinin muvafakatinin sağlanmasının hüküm altına alınması gerektiği savunulmuştur. Çalışmamız kapsamında bizim vardığımız sonuca göre de Yargıtayın bu ve istikrar kazanmış diğer kararlarında sınırlı aynî hak sahibinin iznini/muvafakatini dava şartı olarak görmesi isabetli bir görüş değildir.
Effect of External Debt on Performance of the Agricultural Sector in Kenya
Authors: Olumo Roseline Auma , Byaruhanga John , Mungai Angela
Published: October 2023

Agriculture forms the backbone of the economy in most developing and developed countries. Its production has increased significantly over the last three to four decades. In 2018, it contributed to about 4% of global gross domestic product (GDP), and in 2020, it accounted for 35 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and 65 percent of foreign exchange earnings in Kenya. It’s also a primary source of raw materials for both national and international industries. However, its performance has been declining over the years, and there is a dearth of information with regard to how external debt has affected the sector’s performance. Thus, this study sought to investigate the effect of external debt on the performance of the agricultural sector in Kenya. A correlational research design was adopted. The time series data used in the study was obtained from the databases of World Development Indicators and Statista, covering the period from 2012 to 2020. The data was analyzed using EViews software. The findings revealed that external debt had a significant positive effect on the performance of the agricultural sector in Kenya. Therefore, according to the study, the government of Kenya needs to invest more external debt in agriculture to spur agricultural sector growth.

Authors: Said Mohamed Hashim , Waweru Beth Wangui , Muthumbi Agnes
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Macrobenthic samples were collected offshore Namibia on board R/V Mirabilis during the 3rd RGNO training and the National Marine Information and Research Centre's (NatMIRC's) plankton survey from 13th May to 17th May 2016. Two transects, Cape Frio (20º S) and Walvis Bay (23º S), hosted three stations each, while the third transect, Luderitz (26º S), hosted only one station. From the results, three oxygen zones were identified, namely Microxic (< 0.1 ml l−1), Dysoxic (0.1–1.0 ml l−1), and Oxic (> 1.0 ml l−1). A total of 20 Macrobenthic taxa were identified; Nematoda, Polychaeta, Cumacea, and Oligochaeta were the most dominant taxa and recorded abundances in all oxygen zones. Eighteen genera of macro-Nematoda were identified; Desmolaimus and Paracomesoma dominated in all oxygen zones, Metoncholaimus recorded higher abundance in the Dysoxic stations, and no abundance in the Oxic stations, and the opposite was observed for Halanonchus and Dorylaimopsis. H′ Diversity values for both the general Macrofauna and Macro-Nematoda were higher in the Oxic stations and lower in both the Dysoxic and Microxic stations, while an opposite trend was observed for Dominance values. Density values were lower in Microxic stations and higher in Dysoxic stations, while at the Oxic stations, the density values fell in between the two hypoxic zones.
Current and Future Rainfall-Driven Flood Risk From Hurricanes in Puerto Rico Under 1.5 °C and 2 °C Climate Change
Authors: Archer Leanne , Neal Jeffrey , Bates Paul , Vosper Emily , Carroll Dereka , Sosa Jeison , Mitchell Daniel
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Flooding associated with Hurricane Maria in 2017 had devastating consequences for lives and livelihoods in Puerto Rico. Yet, an understanding of current and future flood risk in small islands like Puerto Rico is limited. Thus, efforts to build resilience to flooding associated with hurricanes remain constrained. Here, we take an event set of hurricane rainfall estimates from a synthetic hurricane rainfall simulator as the input to an event-based rainfall-driven flood inundation model using hydrodynamic code LISFLOOD-FP. Validation of our model against High Water Mark data for Hurricane Maria demonstrates the suitability of this model for estimating flood hazard in Puerto Rico. We produce event-based flood hazard and population exposure estimates for the present day, and the future under the 1.5 °C and 2 °C Paris Agreement goals. Population exposure to flooding from hurricane rainfall in Puerto Rico for the present day climate is approximately 8–10 % of the current population for 5-year return period, with an increase in population exposure to flooding by 2–15 % and 1–20 % under 1.5 °C and 2 °C futures (5-year return period). This research demonstrates the significance of the 1.5 °C Paris Agreement goal for Small Island Developing States, providing the first event-based estimates of flooding from hurricane rainfall under climate change in a small island.
Technical Note: Multi-year Changes in the Brewer-Dobson Circulation from HALOE Methane
Authors: Remsberg Ellis
Published: October 2023

Abstract. This study makes use of Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) methane (CH4) in a search for multi-year changes in the Brewer-Dobson Circulation (BDC).  Changes in CH4 are determined for three, successive 5-yr time spans from 1992 to 2005, and there are significant differences in them.  There is a clear separation for the changes in the northern hemisphere near 30 hPa or at the transition of the shallow and deep branches of the BDC.  The CH4 changes were positive and large in the shallow branch following the eruption of Pinatubo, but they then decreased and agreed with tropospheric trends in the late 1990s and early 2000s.  CH4 decreased in the upper part of the deep branch from 1992 to 1997 or following the eruption of Pinatubo.  CH4 continued to decrease in the deep branch in the late 1990s but then increased in the early 2000s, although the changes were small compared with the seasonal and interannual variations of CH4.  Those multi-year changes were due, in part, to wave forcings during El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) of 1997–1998 and beyond and to episodic, sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events during both time spans.  It is concluded that time series of HALOE CH4 provide effective tracer diagnostics for studies of the nature of the BDC from 1992 to 2005.

Abstract. Soil hydraulic properties (SHPs), particularly soil water retention
capacity and hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils, are among the key
properties that determine the hydrological functioning of terrestrial
systems. Some large collections of SHPs, such as the UNSODA and HYPRES
databases, have already existed for more than 2 decades. They have provided an
essential basis for many studies related to the critical zone. Today,
sample-based SHPs can be determined in a wider saturation range and with
higher resolution by combining some recently developed laboratory methods.
We provide 572 high-quality SHP data sets from undisturbed, mostly central
European samples covering a wide range of soil texture, bulk density and
organic carbon content. A consistent and rigorous quality filtering ensures
that only trustworthy data sets are included. The data collection contains
(i) SHP data, which consist of soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity data,
determined by the evaporation method and supplemented by retention data
obtained by the dewpoint method and saturated conductivity measurements;
(ii) basic soil data, which consist of particle size distribution determined by sedimentation
analysis and wet sieving, bulk density and organic carbon content; and (iii) metadata, which include the coordinates of the sampling locations. In
addition, for each data set, we provide soil hydraulic parameters for the
widely used van Genuchten–Mualem model and for the more advanced
Peters–Durner–Iden model. The data were originally collected to develop and
test SHP models and associated pedotransfer functions. However, we expect
that they will be very valuable for various other purposes such as
simulation studies or correlation analyses of different soil properties to
study their causal relationships. The data are available at

A global streamflow indices time series dataset for large-sample hydrological analyses on streamflow regime (until 2022)
Authors: Chen Xinyu , Jiang Liguang , Luo Yuning , Liu Junguo
Published: October 2023

Abstract. With the booming big data techniques, large-sample
hydrological analysis on streamflow regime is becoming feasible, which could
derive robust conclusions on hydrological processes from a big-picture
perspective. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive global large-sample
dataset for components of the streamflow regime yet. This paper presents a
new time series dataset on global streamflow indices calculated from daily
streamflow records after data quality control. The dataset contains 79
indices over seven major components of streamflow regime (i.e., magnitude,
frequency, duration, changing rate, timing, variability, and recession) of
41 263 river reaches globally on yearly and multiyear scales. Streamflow
indices values until 2022 are covered in the dataset. Time span of the time
series dataset is from 1806 to 2022 with an average length of 36 years.
Compared to existing global datasets, this global dataset covers more
stations and more indices, especially those characterizing the frequency,
duration, changing rate, and recession of streamflow regime. With the
dataset, research on streamflow regime will become easier without spending
time handling raw streamflow records. This comprehensive dataset will be a
valuable resource to the hydrology community to facilitate a wide range of
studies, such as studies of hydrological behaviour of a catchment,
streamflow regime prediction in data-scarce regions, as well as variations
in streamflow regime from a global perspective. The dataset can be accessed

al., 2023a).
Prevalence	and	Socio-Demographic	Factors	Associated	with	Anemia	among	Females	of	Age	Group	10-45	Years	in	a	Rural	Population	of	Gurugram,	Haryana

Introduction: Anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world. Its
Prevalence is inordinately higher among developing nations, because of unfavorable socio- demographic factors and indigent access to healthcare services. Therefore, it is pertinent to find the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors. Objective: To find out prevalence and socio- demographic factors associated with anaemia among females of age group 10-45 years in a rural population of Gurugram, Haryana. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in villages under PHC Garhi Harsaru in Gurugram, Haryana among 452 females of age group 10-45 years by two stage random sampling technique. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 25 ± 6.39 years. The overall prevalence of anemia among women of age group of 10-45 years was found to be 62.39%. Joint family, lower literacy, and low socioeconomic status were found to be statistically significant risk factors for anaemia among study subjects. Conclusion: The prevalence of anemia was very high; therefore attempts should be made to sensitize the rural population through health and nutrition education, information, education and communication (IEC) and appropriate behaviour change communication (BCC) activities.

Soccer is a complex sport, and balance appears to play a crucial role in the quality execution of technical skills, which are mostly performed while standing on one foot. Nevertheless, in younger ages, when learning still affects soccer performance, the effect of a balance-training program on the player’s balance and technical skills remains unexplored. This research examined the effect of a balance-training program (BTP) on balance and technical skills of adolescent soccer players. Τhe participating volunteers were thirty-two soccer players (12-13 years old with 3.84 ± 0.95 years of practice), randomly separated into two groups: an experimental (EXP, n1 = 17) and a control group (CON, n2 = 15). Both groups were evaluated in static and dynamic balance and in technical skills (dribbling, passing, juggling, and shooting with dominant and non-dominant legs) before (Pre-condition) and after the intervention (Post-condition) which was an eight-week BTP for the EXP group and a placebo-training program for the CON group. Α 2 by 2 (groups×condition) mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures on the condition factor was used to assess possible differences between groups. A significant groups × condition interaction effect was found in dynamic balance (p = 0.008), static (p = 0.042), and shooting (p = 0.022) with dominant leg performance. The EXP group improved (p = 0.007) its static balance by 37.82% and also significantly improved its dynamic balance and shooting accuracy with dominant leg in Post condition by 24.98% (p = 0.006) and 83.84% (p = 0.006) respectively. No significant improvement of other variables was detected in the EXP group Post condition. Dynamic and static balance, and shooting with dominant leg skills can be improved in adolescent soccer players through a specialized 8-week BTP. Balance-training program may contribute to technical skill improvement in soccer training.

The community service carried out by the Immigration Class I Tanjung Perak Office and the Immigration Polytechnic through the Eazy Passport Service activities at Hang Tuah University Hospital has proven a significant positive impact on the people who use it. In order to analyze the results of this collaboration, the experimental method approach is used as the basis of the research. The results identified included increasing the accessibility of passport services, efficiency of the processing process, increasing public trust in the government, empowering the community, and increasing knowledge about the requirements and procedures for obtaining passports. In addition to the direct benefits, this collaboration also creates opportunities to improve the overall quality of public services. Despite success, the challenges of implementation and ongoing evaluation must still be overcome. These findings encourage the development of similar collaborative approaches across sectors to optimize public services and meet community needs more effectively.

The efficiency of different sorbents (bulk soil, sand, silt, clay and humic acid-HA) for chlorantraniliprole (CAP), dinotefuran (DNF), bispyribac-sodium (BPS), and metribuzin (MBZ) adsorption was described and compared. The adsorption of CAP, DNF, BPS and MBZ were significantly greater on clay and HA fractions than the bulk soils. Also, the tested pesticides sorption was greater on HA fraction compared to clay fraction except in the case of BPS. The mass unit of bulk soil adsorbed of CAP, DNF, BPS and MBZ approximately 15, 20, 10 and 5 % of the same of HA and 40, 60, 95 and 35 % of that of clay fraction, respectively. The actual amounts adsorbed on bulk soil ranged from (88.63 to 93.93 %) of the calculated amounts adsorbed on all soil components indicating high efficiency of the tested soils to adsorb tested pesticides. All adsorption data fitted well to the linear Freundlich equation. The adsorption of tested pesticides in soil and their different constituents is S-type according to 1/n (except some cases).
