Authors: FA Shaltout
Published: April 2024

For confirming suitability of food products for human consumption it should be evaluated for hazards causing human food poisoning as microbial, fungal and parasitic contamination. Consumption of infected food products containing hazards causing human food poisoning could affect human health and lead to spread of pathogens. A hazard causing human food poisoning as Salmonella spp. is pathogenic to human when consumed via contaminated food. Human food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is an infection or irritation of the digestive tract that spreads through food or drinks. Hazards causing human food poisoning as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Harmful chemicals may also cause food poisoning. Food poisoning is most often acute, meaning it happens suddenly and lasts a short time. Most cases of food poisoning last less than a week, and most people get better on their own without treatment. In some cases, human food poisoning can last longer or lead to dangerous complications.
The World Must Put Hunger to Shame: The Hidden Story of Homowo, Ngmayem and Ngma
Authors: BTN Otubuah
Published: April 2024

This message calls our world to put hunger to shame using the revealed examples of Homowo and ngmayem, an original ethnic food systems in Ghana. The occurrence of hunger over the centuries can be understood from hunger’s proverbial mood. The results of hunger on humans due to its numerous causes and it associated lessons compelled early Ga-Adangbe settlers in Ghana to independently initiate the concepts of ‘Homowo’ (hoot at hunger) and ‘Ngmayem’ (celebrate life foods) as food systems. The hidden systems and basics in these unique food systems of ‘hoot at hunger’ and that of ‘celebrate life foods’ was studied. Some notable findings from the concept of ‘hoot at hunger’ involves a comprehensive layout of hooting at hunger using sustainable agriculture and the following principles: an appropriate food with or without therapeutic effect, applicable technology, basic knowledge in food and nutrition, building a suitable organizational system driven by skilled humans across several communities, by recalling historical records of hunger in society, a set day of remembrance, eating good foods all day, by the story of who we are and where we come from, with unity of purpose as a community lead by honest leaders, and also by proper symbols, designs and expressions. A remarkable outcome from ‘celebrate life foods’ norm was that it showed a notable historical record about a people, their decisions, actions, dealings and group effort in time during a hunger crisis. Once again, both concepts call for the establishment of specialized centers for advanced studies on unique food systems of old and hunger around the world with a museum chronicling the past stories of hunger challenges among a people, district, nation and the world, their probable causes and its impact on their health, and how they invented exceptional systems and products to solve those problems. All these concepts are intended to transform or strengthen food systems.

The purpose of this research is to find out the communication model and inhibiting factors in forest and land fire disaster management by the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bintan Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. The data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results of research using the Wilbur Schramm Communication Model theory, it shows that (1) In the source indicator, the messenger has communicated such as Schools, Communities, Villages, RT / RW, Bhabinkamtibmas and Babinsa. However, in its implementation, the source of the messenger still does not understand the mechanism for reporting forest and land fire disaster events. (2) In the message indicator, it is characterized by reports of forest and land fire disasters delivered through Whatsapp, Instagram and Mass Media. However, the messages conveyed are not always complete, accurate and precise. (3) In the target indicator, there are still obstacles in communication and lack of trust in receiving reports of forest and land fire disasters. The conclusion in this research is that the two-way communication model used is already running. However, the two-way communication carried out still has obstacles because there is no Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for communication of forest and land fire disaster management in accordance with the Bintan Regency area.
Relevance Of Era5 Reanalysis For Wind Energy Applications: Comparison With Sodar Observations
Authors: Shestakova Anna A. , Fedotova Ekaterina V. , Lyulyukin Vasily S.
Published: April 2024

ERA5 reanalysis is one of the most trusted climate data sources for wind energy modeling. However, any reanalysis should be verified through comparison with observational data to detect biases before further use. For wind verification at heights close to typical wind turbine hub heights (i.e. about 100 m), it is preferable to use either in-situ measurements from meteorological towers or remote sensing data like acoustic and laser vertical profilers, which remain independent of reanalysis. In this study, we validated the wind speed data from ERA5 at a height of 100 m using data from four sodars (acoustic profilers) located in different climatic and natural vegetation zones across European Russia. The assessments revealed a systematic error at most stations; in general, ERA5 tends to overestimate wind speed over forests and underestimate it over grasslands and deserts. As anticipated, the largest errors were observed at a station on the mountain coast, where the relative wind speed error reached 45%. We performed the bias correction which reduced absolute errors and eliminated the error dependence on the  daily course, which was crucial for wind energy modeling. Without bias correction, the error in the wind power capacity factor ranged from 30 to 50%. Hence, it is strongly recommended to apply correction of ERA5 for energy calculations, at least in the areas under consideration..

Published: April 2024

This research investigates the impact of Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Sales Growth, and Gender Diversity on Environmental Performance (EP) among 75 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange participating in the PROPER program from 2019 to 2022. The study employs a random effects model. The findings indicate that ROA, DER, Sales Growth, and Gender Diversity significantly influence EP. Specifically, Firm Size (FZ) moderates the impact of DER on EP. However, Firm Size does not significantly moderate the effects of ROA, Sales Growth, and Gender Diversity on EP. The research provides insights into factors contributing to the financial performance of companies and the moderating role of firm size. The novelty of the study lies in the moderating role of firm size in the relationship between ROA, DER, Sales Growth, and Gender Diversity with environmental performance. The research contributes to legitimacy, stakeholder, and agency theories. Policymakers can leverage these insights to formulate strategies that encourage corporate sustainability. This study offers valuable information for companies aiming to enhance both environmental and financial performance, ultimately contributing to broader societal well-being.

How Cyclical Is the User Cost of Labor?
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Kudlyak Marianna
Published: April 2024

In employment relationships, a wage is an installment payment on an implicit long-term agreement between a worker and a firm. The price of labor that impacts firm’s hiring decisions, instead, reflects the hiring wage as well as the impact of economic conditions at the time of hiring on future wages. Measured by the labor’s user cost, the price of labor is substantially more pro-cyclical than the new-hire wage or the average wage. The strong procyclicality of the price of labor calls for other forces for cyclical labor demand to explain employment fluctuations.

Profit Loss Sharing (PLS) plays a crucial role in determining the potential value of profits in Islamic banking. The PLS profit-sharing system indicates the success or failure in the financing investments undertaken by the banks. To generate profits from the financing investments, it is essential to have a reliable and sustainable risk management. In this study, the risk management variable will be comprehensively examined in relation to its impact on supporting the implementation of PLS systems (mudharabah and musyarakah) on financial performance. The analytical method employed is quantitative analysis with the support of the E-Views application program. The research sample includes 11 Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia, with an observation period from 2017 to 2022. The research analysis results demonstrate that mudharabah financing and musyarakah financing have a positive influence on financial performance. Risk management weakens the influence of mudharabah financing and musyarakah financing on financial performance. In terms of direct influence, risk management exerts the strongest impact compared to mudharabah financing and musyarakah financing. Mudharabah financing has the smallest impact on the value of financial performance.

Published: April 2024

Sabah, formerly known as North Borneo during the period of British colonisation from 1888- 1963 produced many texts about the British presence and their activities on the island. This review highlights that the post-war studies especially Sabah’s colonial literature is the missing link to its alternative history. Colonial literature has left its legacy in the form of history, anthropology and art but also in the textual and literary representations of Sabah through a western lens. The critique of colonial fiction and non-fiction texts in former colonies in Malaya and Sarawak have paved the way for critical examination and commentary on the modes of representation of the indigenous and immigrants. This review discusses the highlights of postcolonial criticism in Malaysia. It briefly introduces some of the issues about postcolonial criticism in Sabah and its potential.

Transitional linkers are essential in English language writing and speaking skills. Failure to master the use of linkers will result in miscommunication in text messages and oral communication due to obscurity in meaning. Most English language instructors teach linkers through talks, seminars, or lectures. This paper aims to examine the motivational improvement of students in the mastery of English transitional linkers through playing a self-developed physical board game called LINK-IT. As a measure of the students’ motivation, a survey was conducted on their perceptions as an effort to enhance the understanding of English transitional linkers through playing LINK-IT. The respondents consist of 40 Engineering students from a private university in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents using Google Form and the data was analysed using SPSS. The findings suggest that when the students played LINK-IT, their level of motivation increased exponentially, and this helped them understand and remember the rules of using English transitional linkers better. Based on the positive results, this study is expected to be a reference in helping students to master the use of English transitional linkers and become more confident in using them.

Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE

To assess the efficacy of transmucosal euthanasia solution to induce euthanasia.

ANIMALS

6 bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps).

METHODS

An initial dose of euthanasia solution containing pentobarbital and phenytoin sodium was administered transmucosally in conscious lizards (100 mg/kg pentobarbital dose), followed by a second dose 20 minutes later (400 mg/kg pentobarbital dose). The presence of movement, leakage of euthanasia solution, behaviors consistent with oral irritation, respiratory rate, heart rate, palpebral and corneal reflex, and response to noxious stimuli were recorded until death, confirmed by the absence of Doppler cardiac flow and cardiac electrical activity. The time to loss of all parameters was calculated. Postmortem evaluation allowed for histopathologic evaluation of the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract to detect potential mucosal damage from the alkaline euthanasia solution.

RESULTS

The median time to death was 300 minutes (range, 300 to 360 minutes), median time to respiratory arrest was 30 minutes (range, 30 to 50 minutes), and median time to loss of deep pain response was 30 minutes (range, 20 to 50 minutes). Signs consistent with oral irritation occurred in 4 of 6 (66.7%) lizards, including 2 lizards that exhibited whole-body spasms after euthanasia solution administration. Histopathologic changes indicating peracute mucosal ulceration, suspected to be from caustic causes, were identified in 1 (1/6 [16.7%]) lizard.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Transmucosal euthanasia solution administration resulted in clinical euthanasia within 6 hours. This method should be utilized only after premedication with analgesic and/or anesthetic medications due to the potential for acute mucosal ulceration and behaviors that may be distressing in client-owned animals.

OBJECTIVE

To describe short-term outcomes of dogs and cats undergoing surgery for traumatic bile peritonitis.

ANIMALS

13 dogs and 4 cats.

METHODS

Multi-institutional, retrospective study. Medical records from 6 institutions were reviewed for cases of traumatic bile peritonitis between 2006 and 2022. Clinical presentation, additional injuries, surgical treatment, and outcome were recorded.

RESULTS

Trauma occurred a median of 2 (range, 1 to 22) and 4 (range, 1 to 22) days prior to presentation in dogs and cats, respectively. Total bilirubin was increased in 11 of 13 dogs and 2 of 4 cats. Rupture occurred at the common bile duct (CBD) in 10 dogs and 1 cat, gallbladder in 3 dogs, cystic duct in 2 cats, and hepatic duct in 1 dog and 1 cat. The most common surgeries were cholecystoduodenostomy and CBD repair in dogs and cholecystectomy in cats. Eleven of 13 dogs and all cats survived to hospital discharge (88.2% overall survival). Median follow-up in surviving dogs and cats was 35 days (range, 14 to 401) and 30 days (range, 14 to 90), respectively. One dog that underwent cholecystectomy experienced recurrent bile peritonitis 20 days postoperatively. Short-term survival following surgical treatment of traumatic bile peritonitis was excellent and recurrence appears uncommon. The most frequent site of rupture was the CBD in dogs and the cystic duct in cats.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Measurement of peritoneal bilirubin should be considered in dogs and cats with peritoneal effusion following trauma. Surgeons should be prepared to identify and address ruptures in locations other than the gallbladder.

Introduction:

Melkersson Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a disease of multifactorial origin typically presented with a triad of symptoms including peripheral facial nerve paralysis, plicated tongue and orofacial edema. Diagnosing MRS requires the exclusion of other granulomatous diseases and the correlation of clinical with histopathological finding.

Case presentation:

We present the case of a 56-year-old female with a four-month history of lower lip and right mandible angle swelling together with a plicated tongue that appeared during COVID-19 infection. The patient was successfully treated with intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide at a dose of 40 mg.

Conclusion:

The presented case is specific by its late onset since the patient experienced their first symptoms in fifties, which differs from the majority of cases where the diagnosis is usually established in young adults. Infectious factors are established as possible etiologic factors of MRS, but few cases are described to be triggered or worsened by COVID-19 infection.
Recreational use of the urban riverscape: What brings people to the river?
Authors: Grzyb Tomasz
Published: April 2024

Visiting urban green and blue spaces improves the quality of life in cities as it helps to preserve human-nature bonds. In this context, the role of urban parks and forests has been well-recognised; however, much less is known about the landscapes of inland water bodies. To fill this gap, the study aimed to identify spatiotemporal patterns of recreational activities in the urban riverscape in relation to the visitors’ residential proximity. Also, survey results were combined with spatial and remote sensing data to determine how the spatial characteristics of the riverscape affect its recreational use. The case of Warsaw, Poland, was used. The results indicated that the riverscape serves as a local park for the neighbouring communities, while it is rather a warm-weekend attraction for far-living ones. Visitors concentrate in the city centre, and spread out along the communication paths; however, spatial patterns of the magnitude of particular activities also show interbank differences. Spatial error models of drivers of riverscape recreation revealed (1) the multifaceted role of trees in densely visited areas and (2) the importance of physical availability for contact with the urban river. These findings expand knowledge on the recreational use of urban rivers by exploring its place-related motivations.
Towards the deep learning recognition of cultivated terraces based on Lidar data: The case of Slovenia

Cultivated terraces are phenomena that have been protected in some areas for both their cultural heritage and food production purposes. Some terraced areas are disappearing but could be revitalised. To this end, recognition techniques need to be developed and terrace registers need to be established. The goal of this study was to recognise terraces using deep learning based on Lidar DEM. Lidar data is a valuable resource in countries with overgrown terraces. The U-net model training was conducted using data from the Slovenian terraces register for southwestern Slovenia and was subsequently applied to the entire country. We then analysed the agreement between the terraces register and the terraces recognised by deep learning. The overall accuracy of the model was 85%; however, the kappa index was only 0.22. The success rate was higher in some regions. Our results achieved lower accuracy compared to studies from China, where similar techniques were used but which incorporated satellite imagery, DEM, as well as land use data. This study was the first attempt at deep learning terrace recognition based solely on high-resolution DEM, highlighting examples of false terrace recognition that may be related to natural or other artificial terrace-like features.
Wage Function Estimation of Estonia and Latvia
Authors: Kolar Gašper , Fir Nejc
Published: April 2024

The study of wage determinants goes back to the beginning of economic science, with theoretical and empirical foundations providing the basis for the specification of a model of the wage function. Using the OLS method, we study the determinants of real wages for Estonia between 2006Q3 and 2022Q3 and Latvia between 2004Q1 and 2022Q3. The lagged dependent variable exerts the most considerable impact on real wages, i.e., real wages in the preceding quarter. We find that unemployment has a relatively larger impact on real wage dynamics than real productivity in the Latvian than in Estonian model. In the Estonian model, real productivity has a relatively stronger impact than unemployment in explaining real wages. In both countries, changes in real productivity impact real wages with a one-quarter lag. The findings on the relative influence of real wage determinants guide economic policymakers in targeting measures that could increase real wages in both countries.

Crianças, adolescentes, jovens e adultos e a resolução de situações combinatórias
Authors: Borba Rute , Pessoa Cristiane , Barreto Fernanda , Lima Rita
Published: April 2024

Participaram da pesquisa 718 estudantes em escolaridade regular (crianças e adolescentes dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental ao Ensino Médio) e da Educação de Jovens e Adultos – EJA (dos anos iniciais ao Ensino Médio e de um curso profissionalizante) que resolveram duas de cada situação (arranjo, combinação, permutação e produto cartesiano). A escolarização teve efeito significativo, relacionada a maiores índices de sistematização nas soluções, embora procedimentos similares tenham sido observados entre os que não haviam participado de instrução em Combinatória e entre os que já haviam aprendido esse conteúdo. A listagem de possibilidades foi o procedimento mais utilizado. Produtos cartesianos eram mais facilmente compreendidos e arranjos, combinações e permutações eram mais difíceis, em especial para os jovens e adultos em início de escolarização. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de um ensino com variedade de situações, significados, relações e representações simbólicas, de modo a favorecer um amplo desenvolvimento do raciocínio combinatório.

Published: April 2024

Apresenta-se o relato da experiência de um grupo de estudo em um subprojeto do curso de Pedagogia pelo Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência. Sua atuação ocorreu em classes bilíngues para alunos surdos de uma escola municipal. Tal experiência elucidou aos graduandos questões implícitas à docência no ensino dessas crianças. O grupo fazia reuniões semanais na universidade, além de observações e intervenções nas classes. Com as intervenções, os licenciandos perceberam a necessidade da Libras para interlocução do professor com os alunos surdos, e a importância dos saberes desses discentes no planejamento de cada atividade. Além disso, eles encontraram estratégias e recursos que potencializaram a visualidade necessária para um melhor ensino aos alunos surdos.
