Exact sciences and education in antiquity
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg Branch of the Institute for the History of Science and Technology RAS, Zhmud Leonid
Published: January 2023

Teaching of mathēmata in the framework of enkyklios paideia, the post-school education of a “free man”, was a new social practice that originated in the fourth century BC and greatly contributed to the growing public acceptance of science. Due to this educational practice that became common during the Hellenistic period many young men from wealthy families who took the course of enkyklios paideia, received instruction in the four mathēmata: geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and harmonics. Although the widespread use of this model of education coincided with the sudden quantitative and qualitative decline of Greek science in the first century BC, a considerable number of educated people from the higher strata of society were becoming familiar, albeit in varying degrees, with scientific knowledge and methods. Thus, mathēmata were ingrained in society to an extent that enabled them to survive, albeit with serious losses, the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages, when the volume and quality of scientific knowledge drastically declined, and their preservation became part of the social role of the clergyman.
Modulation and the underlying assumptions of the Pythagorean ban against eating broad beans
Authors:   Institute of Humanistic Studies, University of Talca, López-Astorga Miguel
Published: January 2023

This paper tries to show that the theory of mental models describes deep mental processes that have to be assumed even by frameworks contrary to it. It has been argued that many explanations on certain cognitive activities different from that provided by the theory of mental models cannot ignore theses of this last approach. Those theses are related to the way the human mind interprets linguistic information and makes inferences. The main goal here is to give further evidence in this way by means of an analysis of a part of a fragment, authored by Diogenes Laërtius, about the Pythagorean ban against eating broad beans. The idea is to make it even more evident that any framework trying to account for how that part of the fragment can be understood by a reader needs to accept suppositions that characterize the theory of mental models.
A worldview dialogue or parallel development of thought: Ancient parallels to the book of Qoheleth 12:7
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Tantlevskij Igor
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the ancient parallels of the fifth century B.C.E. to Qoh. 12:7 (“And the dust shall return to the earth, which it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it”). First of all, these parallels include passages from Euripides: “That which is of the earth returns to the earth, the same which is born of the etheric seed returns to the heavenly pole” (“Chrysippus”; 839, 8–11 [ed. Nauck]); “the spirit is to the ether (πνεῦμα μὲν πρὸς αἰθέρα), and the body to the earth” (“The Suppliants,” 533–534; see also: fr. 971 [ed. Nauck]). Another parallel to Qoh. 12:7 is found in an Attic public inscription commemorating the Athenian soldiers killed at Potidaea (432 B.C.E.): “The ether took (their) souls, [the earth (took)] the bodies...” (IG I³, 1179, eds. Kirchhoff et al.). This view correlates with Empedocles’ assertion that there is neither birth (φύσις) nor death, but only the mixing and subsequent separation of mixed elements (cf.: B 8–9, 11, 15 [DK]), and the idea of Anaxagoras, who said that “birth and death are tantamount” to “change (ἀλλλοιοῦσθαι) only” (Arist. GC I, 314a.14–15). In Euripides’ tragedy “Helen”, the heroine expresses the idea that all “mind” (ὁ νοῦς) “does not live” on the death of the body, it dies “in immortal ether”; but in ether the “immortal” γνώμη which the “mind” of man “possesses” persists. In analysing these fragments, the author concludes that one would rather assume a parallel development of the concepts of the afterlife in the Mediterranean region, rather than a direct influence of Hellenic religious doctrines on Jewish thought or a philosophical dialogue between Judaeans and Hellenes at the time the Book of Qoheleth was written.

The most significant postnatal factors influencing the course of various forms of retinopathy of prematurity
Authors:   N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Astasheva I.B.
Published: January 2023

Purpose.To evaluate the most significant factors affecting the course of ROP. Material and methods. From 2009 to 2018, we examined 4120 children with ROP. The examination of children was carried out as part of a neonatal screening to detect ROP using standard diagnostic methods. Results. Against the background of prolonged oxygen therapy in children with broncho-pulmonary dysplasia (BPD), severe forms of ROP developed in 9.7% of cases, which is significantly lower than similar indicators in the pathology departments of premature and newborns. Among children with severe apnea, the onset of different-sized hemorrhages, mainly preretinal located in various parts of the fundus, mostly at the ends of the vascular arcades is observed in 70.4% of cases. In 25.9% of children with severe ROP, partial hemophthalmus appears. During blood transfusions in children with severe forms of ROP, the transition of the disease to a more severe stage was reduced in 64.0%, caliber and tortuosity of the retinal vessels increased in 79.8%, retinal edema and exudative manifestations intensified in 39,3%, hemorrhagic changes rose in 49,4%, extraretinal proliferation increased in 50.6%. Against the background of adenoviral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (AEK) in children with severe forms of ROP, the exudation in the vitreous body sharply increased in 34.7%, retinal detachment developed in 4.1% of cases, even though the children had already undergone laser coagulation of the retina at the time of infection, fresh hemorrhages mainly at the ends of the vascular arcades appeared in 57.1%. Conclusions. Prolonged oxygen therapy under BPD reduces the severity of the ROP. The impact of blood transfusions is observed only in severe forms of ROP. Frequent episodes of apnea contribute to the development of intraocular hemorrhages during ROP. The course of adenoviral AEK exacerbates the course of severe forms of ROP. Key words: retinopathy of prematurity, blood transfusion, apnea, broncho-pulmonary dysplasia, adenoviral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity

VIE AFFECTIVE ET ENTRAIDE SPIRITUELLE DANS LA FAMILLE VINET AU FIL DES LETTRES DE SOPHIE, ÉLISE, MARC ET ALEXANDRE (1994/Hors série)
Authors: Maison Jean-Jacques
Published: January 2023

La famille Vinet a vécu très unie ; le fait, pour banal qu’il puisse paraître doit être relevé́, vu les distances géographiques, considérables pour l’époque, qui les séparaient : Lausanne, Bâle, les séjours aux bains, etc.

Les liens étaient entretenus principalement par la correspondance ; c’est le lieu de rappeler qu’elle est un mode de communication et, pour les croyants, de communion, privilégié́ ; en s’y livrant on doit faire l’effort d’exprimer sentiments, opinions et convictions — doutes aussi — de manière à la fois concise et complète.

Les nombreuses lettres échangées le sont par un grand besoin d’aimer et d’être aimé, d’aider et d’être aidé, mais aussi par la tradition d’infini respect pour les parents et par le sentiment de responsabilité réciproque des membres de cette famille les uns envers les autres, tant dans les affaires domestiques et matérielles que sur le plan moral et spirituel.

Cette correspondance, davantage encore que celle échangée avec des étrangers, manifeste une sorte d’auto-direction spirituelle qu’Alexandre Vinet exerce constamment sur lui-même, comme parfois sur Sophie aussi, mais dévoile une même approche de l’autre, conçu à la fois comme dépendant et autonome.

GESTES DE BÉNÉDICTION POUR QUELLES SIGNIFICATIONS ? - 2017
Authors: Collaud Christophe
Published: January 2023

Voici le schéma que je propose :

Le ministre est face à un public qui attend quelque chose.

Le ministre, lui, veut les accompagner dans un univers symbolique.

Plus il répondra aux attentes de son public, plus facilement il les fera entrer dans l’univers symbolique de la célébration.

Dans l’univers symbolique, le ministre servira de guide. Il montrera les éléments, il appuiera davantage tel ou tel élément.

Cependant, le sens en sera déduit par le public, ou plus exactement le sens « frappera », se pressera contre lui, s’im-primera en lui.

Enfin, au sortir de la célébration, le ministre liera sa célébration à la vie mondaine par l’envoi,

Il relira la vie mondaine à la vie spirituelle expérimentée dans l’univers symbolique de la célébration par la bénédiction finale.

Ainsi, la célébration bénédictive laissera une trace qui rendra le sujet à sa vie mondaine, une vie cependant légèrement décalée de ce qu’elle était auparavant.

Évidemment, je n’ai pas la prétention de posséder le « secret » d’une bonne homélie. Sinon, je pourrais faire des affaires auprès de mes confrères (et consœurs)[1] prédicateurs de francophonie, luthériens, réformés ou catholiques !

Mais si, avec le chanoine de Saint Maurice Guy Luisier, nous nous sommes risqués à publier un Anti-manuel de prédication, faisant suite à mon propre Petit manuel : La joie de prêcher, c’est que nous nous sommes dit que souvent, les caricatures quelque peu humoristiques valent mieux que de grands discours arides et sérieux. Et donc, en jouant sur l’incomplétude des chiffres 6 et 11 (la plénitude de 7 et 12 moins 1), nous nous sommes aventurés à expliciter les 66 (6 fois 11) tactiques du Diviseur et de ses sbires pour réussir à faire échouer à tout coup une homélie (66 pages de gauche « diaboliques »), en espérant que certains homélistes s’y reconnaîtraient, et à proposer en contrepoint sur les 66 pages de droite « angéliques » quelques répliques (thérapies et antidotes) poétiques, théologiques et rhétoriques, dont certaines tirées d’Evangelii gaudium du pape François, pour, au contraire, honorer cette tâche et susciter le goût de faire mieux.

It is widely accepted that increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to our atmosphere is the major contributor to global climate change, which pollutes environment. The chemical absorption using tertiary alkanolamines solution is one of most important method, which have been proposed and studied for the removal of carbon dioxide because the MDEA solvent has low cost, low corrosive tendencies, high stability, low viscosity, low tendency to foam, and low flammability, however it has low reaction rate. Therefore, we added glycine promoter to conventional solvents to increase the rate of the reaction because glycine is a primary amine compound which is reactive. Moreover, glycine has resistance to high temperatures; so, it will not easy to degrade making it not suitable for application in industry. The main purpose of this study was to provide reaction kinetics data of CO2 absorption into glycine promoted methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) by using laboratory scale wetted wall column equipment at the atmospheric pressure by varying temperature from 303.15 to 328.15 and glycine concentration from 1% to 3%, while the carbon dioxide absorption rate was measured by titration of liquid effluent. Based on the result of this study, we observed that by increasing temperature and concentration of glycine, the absorption rate of carbon dioxide in MDEA solution was increase. In addition, the reaction rate constant will be affected by the temperature and the concentration of promoter. The correlation of reaction rate constant (k glycine) was: k glycine = 5.3409E+13exp(-3251.9/T) with the activation energy for glycine promoter is 27.0363kJ/kmol, indicating it a very influencing, compared to diethanolamine (DEA).
Correlation between Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Review
Authors: RM Prasad , S Banga , AM Salazar , M Yavari , P Pandrangi , ZQ Baloch , J Ip
Published: January 2023

Previous studies have demonstrated that patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may develop the latter. The prevalence of 20-43% for AF in patients with HFpEF and prevalence of 50- 60% for HFpEF in AF patients. The pathophysiology indicates that AF usually precedes HFpEF, but each disease can promote the progression of the other one. Multiple mechanisms have been posited, such as left atrial (LA) fibrosis and myopathy as well as volume/pressure overload. Moreover, the combination of AF and HFpEF is associated with an increased rate of mortality as the presence of AF worsens the hemodynamics of HF. The diagnosis of HFpEF in patients with AF is underestimated, as the symptoms, laboratory values, and imaging techniques can be skewed by the presence of AF. Unfortunately, there are limited randomized controlled trials that recommend guideline-based treatments, such as choosing between rate and rhythm control. This narrative review aims to illustrate and summarize the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment in the current literature for patients with AF and HFpEF.

Published: January 2023

Background: Surgical ablation (SA) is widely performed to eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF) and maintain atrial contraction. A larger left atrial diameter (LAD) has long been associated with the late recurrence of AF post-ablation. Objectives: We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between LAD and AF recurrence after SA and investigated the effect of LAD cut-off values on the probability of AF recurrence via subgroup analysis. Methods: The literature search was performed in the MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, from inception to July 2021. A random-effects model was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). From 401 initial articles, 16 studies, comprising a total of 4,291 patients, were included in this review. Results: A meta-analysis of 10 studies (2,599 patients) demonstrated that the predicted probability of AF recurrence was 7% greater with each 1 mm increase in LAD (OR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.04–1.09; P<0.01). Meanwhile, subgroup analysis revealed that the larger the cut-off value, the higher the risk of AF recurrence. The synthesis effect value (OR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.77–3.39) was close to the OR when the LAD cut-off value was 55 mm (OR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.22–5.38). Conclusions: In conclusion, a larger LAD is a significant risk factor for predicting AF recurrence after SA. More rigorously designed studies with larger sample sizes are needed to identify the best cut-off value of LAD when performing SA.

Background: Valvular heart disease presents a unique set of conditions during pregnancy and delivery with the potential of adverse outcomes complicated by prior interventions and anticoagulation. The aim of this study was to describe the profile and outcomes of obstetric valvular heart disease patients who delivered via caesarean section at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. Methods: A retrospective study was done using patient record files, anaesthetics forms and echocardiogram reports. The study period was a 5-year review from January 2016 to December 2020. Results: Sixty-nine patients were included. The mean age ± SD of the patients in this study was 30.1 ± 5.6. A total of 83% had gravidity of 1-3 and 90% parity of 0-2. Majority of patients (57%) had elective caesarean section. General anaesthesia was the most common mode used and majority of patients had fixed interval analgesia (FIA) mode of analgesia postoperatively. Approximately half of the patients (40.5%) were on anticoagulants. A significantly higher percentage of those who needed anticoagulation (46%) had poorer outcomes when compared to those who did not (7%), (P<0.001). This was a univariable association between adverse maternal outcome and NYHA class and lack of use of anticoagulants [aOR 3.77, 95% CI 1.45 - 9.79, P=0.006 and aOR 0.11, 95% CI 0.018 - 0.67, P=0.017, respectively]. Low ejection fraction was univariably associated with adverse foetal outcome, uOR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90 - 0.99, P=0.032. One (1%) foetus demised. Conclusion: Patients were younger and in relatively good functional status. They carried the pregnancies to term. Patients did experience adverse outcome related to bleeding and arrythmias predominantly, but none demised. One neonate was lost. A structured care plan for these patients, based on a multidisciplinary approach, to afford prehabilitation is necessary.

We report the case of a 29 years old patient brought to emergency after a road traffic accident. His blood pressure was 138/78 mmHg, pulse 119/min, respiratory rate at 24/min and Glasgow coma scale at 6/15. The patient was put on mechanical ventilation then transferred to the intensive care unit. A body CT scan was performed which found multiple hemorraghic contusions and subarachnoid hemorrhage in the head. Lower right limb x-rays showed a mid diaphyseal femur fracture which then was surgically treated. 7 days after surgery, the patient suddenly developed hypotension, sinus tachycardia and acute respiratory distress. What is the most likely diagnosis at this stage?. Considering the patient condition, the most likely diagnosis was massive pulmonary embolism. Thorax CT scan was immediately performed which found coronary air embolism in circumflex artery as shown in figure 1. The high sensibility troponin level was 8900 ng/l. Barotrauma has been estimated to occur in 0.5-38% of critically ill patients [1]. Systemic and eventually coronary gas embolism associated with positive pressure ventilation has been considered a rare, but catastrophic complication of mechanical ventilation associated with a high mortality rate.
Rational Synthesis of Elusive Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Metal-oxo Clusters: Formation and Post-functionalization of Hexavanadates
Authors: Salazar Marcano David E. , Kalandia Givi , Moussawi Mhamad Aly , Van Hecke Kristof , Parac-Vogt Tatjana N.
Published: January 2023

Paving the way towards new functional materials relies increasingly on the challenging task of forming organic-inorganic hybrid compounds. In that regard, discrete atomically-precise metal-oxo nanoclusters have received increasing attention due to the wide range of organic moieties that can be attached onto them through functionalization reactions. The Lindqvist hexavanadate family of clusters ([V6O13{(OCH2)3C-R}2]2-; V6-R) is particularly interesting due to its magnetic, redox, and catalytic properties. However, compared to other metal-oxo cluster types it has been less extensively explored, which is mainly due to poorly understood synthetic challenges and the limited number of viable post-functionalization strategies. In this work, we present an in-depth investigation of the factors that influence the formation of hybrid hexavanadates (V6-R HPOMs) and leverage this knowledge to develop [V6O13{(OCH2)3CNHCOCH2Cl}2]2- (V6-Cl) as a new and tunable platform for the facile formation of discrete hybrid structures based on metal-oxo clusters in high yields. Moreover, we showcase the versatility of the V6-Cl platform through its facile post-functionalization via nucleophilic substitution with various carboxylic acids of differing complexity and with functionalities that are relevant in multiple disciplines of chemistry, such as supramolecular chemistry and biochemistry. Hence, V6-Cl was shown to be a straightforward and versatile starting point for the formation of functional supramolecular structures or other hybrid materials, thereby enabling their exploration in various fields.
Optimization of General Molecular Properties in the Equilibrium Geometry Using Quantum Alchemy: An Inverse Molecular Design Approach
Authors: Shiraogawa Takafumi , Hasegawa Jun-ya
Published: January 2023

Inverse molecular design allows optimization of molecules in chemical space and is promising for accelerating the development of functional molecules and materials. To design realistic molecules, it is necessary to consider geometric stability during optimization. In this work, we introduce an inverse design method that optimizes molecular properties by changing the chemical composition in the equilibrium geometry. The optimization algorithm of our recently developed molecular design method has been modified to allow molecular design for general properties at a small computational cost. The proposed method is applicable to large chemical space based on quantum alchemy without empirical data. We demonstrate the applicability of the present method in the optimization of the electric dipole moment and atomization energy in chemical spaces for (BF, CO), (N2, CO), and BN-doped benzene derivatives. Moreover, we also investigate and discuss the applicability of quantum alchemy to the electric dipole moment.
Embodiment and Memories: Literary Articulations of Coastal Women and Manifestations Of Indian Ocean Cultures
Authors: Salaad Ayan
Published: January 2023

This article brings into conversation two pieces of Indian Ocean fiction about women, a Banaadiri wedding song, called ‘Waa Guuriheeynnaa,’ and Cristina Ali Farah’s published work A Dhow is Crossing the Sea. I interrogate what constitutes female kinship, coastal identity, cultural heritage, and the ties between these phenomena through a comparative analysis of the two forms of literature. I assess how both works express kinship between coastal women and the ways in which their Indian Ocean and local cultural identities become embodied forms of knowledge. I then explore the differing ways that women in ‘Waa Guuriheeynnaa’ and A Dhow is Crossing the Sea use material culture as an act of female community making. I argue that in both literary works, women’s bodies carry cultural meaning. However, while in ‘Waa Guuriheeynnaa,’ it is through women’s bodies that Banaadiri Indian Ocean culture is expressed, affirmed, and continued, in A Dhow is Crossing the Sea, coastal women’s bodies attest to a more uneven and contested Indian Ocean and diasporic heritage that registers historical losses as well as their everyday lived realities.

The study described in this paper involves the application of a conventional resource estimation method, inverse distance weighting (IDW), and univariate geostatistical technique, ordinary kriging (OK) to the gold grades data from the modified palaeoplacer Teberebie gold deposit, in Ghana. The deposit consists of 4 layered well-defined orebodies referred to as A reef, CDE reef, F24 reef and G reef at the mine environment. Simple, reliable, and adequately accurate resource/reserve estimation are essential to mining operations. Data used for the research were collected by diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. A total of 19353 one-meter composite samples, consisting of 18962 RC chip samples from 695 RC drill holes, and 391 diamond drill core samples from 11 DD holes. Samples were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) for gold (Au). Descriptive statistical treatment was conducted on grade values for the reefs. To analyse for spatial structure of Au mineralisation, experimental downhole, and several horizontal directional semi-variograms were computed, and models fitted. Ore reserves were estimated by OK and IDW methods, and results of the various reefs compared. Regression analysis of estimated results indicate that, the inverse distance square (ID2) model produced estimates that compared well with the OK model in all the ore zones. It is therefore, appropriate to use ID2 as an alternative estimation method to the OK method for purposes of mine planning and grade control.

Published: January 2023

The depositional environment of Clastic sediments in Tomboy Field Onshore Niger Delta were delineated using 3D Seismic and lithological logs. Well log suites from 5 wells comprising Spontaneous potential, Gamma ray, Sonic, Resistivity, Density, and Neutron logs were obtained and analyzed. Reverse estimation was done for the Neutron log and Bulk Density log using volumetric method. Gamma-ray log were used to calibrate Log motifs and correlate sand bodies TMB-01, TMB-02, TMB-03, TMB-04, and TMB-06. Prediction of depositional environment was made through the usage of wireline log shapes of facies combined with result from seismic data. Results of correlation across the five wells showed that. there was continuity at depth interval of 4000-5000ft across the wells as well 3 did not have any gamma information to correlate accros it. The seismic section showed two major growth faults and a channel fill on seismic (inline 5940, crossline1660) between 3.3-3.6ms. According to the paleo-reconstruction from the correlated wells within the tomboy field, the reservoir is made up of sands from fluvial and tidal channels, barrier, and barrier bar. These sand bodies are likely to contain hydrocarbons because of the rollover anticline, which is found at the fault’s downthrown block. This study has revealed that the Clastic sediments in Tomboy Field Onshore Niger Delta were deposited within a predominantly deltaic environment (transitional).

The application of 3D GIS has enabled better representation and visualization of flood events than previous 2D maps. Flooding is common in the Terengganu basin. Flash floods occur most of the year during the monsoon season, which lasts from November to January. Flooding along riverbanks is mainly affected by heavy rainfalls of 2500mm to well over 3500mm per year. This has significant impacts on environmental resources such as land use/land cover, local soil types and slopes. The study area of Kuala Terengganu was particularly affected by heavy rains and flash floods during the monsoon season. ASTER DEM resolution 5m converted to ArcScene 10.3 using ArcGIS 10.3 and 3D software. In recent years, flood monitoring methods have been developed that can predict water flow and associated risks and hazards. 3D visualization techniques include remote sensing such as satellite imagery and geographic information systems “GIS”. and LiDAR modeling

Penggunaan sistem informasi pada pelayanan kesehatan khususnya laboratorium sangat diperlukan untuk menyajikan data yang tepat, akurat dan jelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan waktu layananan laboratorium (pra analitik, analitik dan pasca analitik) dan kepuasan pengguna terhadap penggunaan Orange Sistem Informasi laboratorium (OSIL) yang telah dibuat pada penelitian sebelumnya pada tahun 2021 untuk meningkatkan pelayanan laboratorium di Puskesmas Sukaraja Kota Bandar Lampung. Penelitian ini bersifat deskripsi analitik dengan responden sebanyak 50 responden sebelum digunakan OSIL dan 50 responden setelah digunakan OSIL dan penilaian dilakukan oleh ATLM sebagai pengguna OSIL. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuisoner dan observasi sedangkan analisis data menggunakan uji T. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan pemakaian aplikasi OSIL memiliki dampak baik pada parameter waktu akses riwayat hasil laboratorium (p<0,0001) dan kepuasan user (P<0,0001). Namun tidak meningkatkan waktu pre-analitik (p= 0,2336) dan analitik (p=0,9443). Hal yang tidak menguntungkan juga terjadi pada waktu tunggu antrian yang memanjang (p<0,0001) dan waktu post-analitik yang juga memanjang (p<0,0001) yang diakibatkan keterbatasan atau kendala teknis.

Published: January 2023

At present, consumers are more concerned and cautious with their food intake, especially
regarding food safety. Considering the majority of headlines of food safety controversies
involving the meat industries, the calls for traceability systems to protect consumers from
potential health risks while assuring the quality and safety of the food are deemed
necessary. This requires the prompt establishment of comprehensive food traceability
systems in the meat industries. Thus, this study aimed to determine consumers’
preferences and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for traceability systems while purchasing meat
and meat products. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire with 503
respondents that were selected through random sampling in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Data
collected was analyzed using the contingent valuation method (CVM) and binary logistic
regression analysis. More than half of the respondents (290; 57.7%) indicated their WTP
at a higher price for traceable meat and meat products. Out of the 290 (57.7%)
respondents that are willing to pay at a premium price for traceable meat and meat
products, the majority (182) indicated their WTP a premium price of less than 5%,
followed by 62 respondents with an indication of WTP between 5-10% premium prices.
Further analysis using binary logistic regression to predict the most influential factors on
consumers’ WTP for meat and meat products with traceability systems revealed that
gender, income, Halal certificate, and transparency are significant with positive
relationships. The results showed that a traceability system will be accepted by consumers
as a mechanism that enhances food safety as well as meets their demand for a consistent
supply of high-quality meat and meat products. In an effort to increase consumers’
preferences for safer meat and meat products, the relevant stakeholders need to execute
the practice of traceability systems in the meat supply chain.

Pregnant women need an increase in iodine intake. In 2013, 24.3% of pregnant women in
Indonesia had low iodine excretion values. Iodine is known to affect thyroid hormone
regulation. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of Iodine Deficiency Disease
(IDD) in pregnant women. This study was conducted using an observational method with
a case-control design. The subjects in this study were pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd
trimesters in the Mlonggo and Pakis Aji Health Centers, Jepara Regency, Indonesia. The
total sample was eighty-eight pregnant women. Primary data collection was done by
taking urine for Urinary Iodine Excretion (UIE) and blood serum for Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone (TSH) levels, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measurements for
anthropometric nutritional status and filling out questionnaires related to subject
characteristics and Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) interviews
related to food consumption. This study showed that 53.4% of pregnant women had high
TSH levels and 68.2% of pregnant women had low UIE levels. The results of the
multivariate analysis showed that education was the strongest risk factor of IDD based on
TSH levels (p-value 0,020; OR adjusted 0,324; CI OR 0,125:0,835) and knowledge of
IDD was the strongest risk factor of IDD based on UIE levels (p-value 0,008; OR adjusted
4,776; CI OR 1,510:15,105).

Published: January 2023

AbstractThis research aims to explain the situation of Kemayoran airfield when it was used as a military airfield from when it was first inaugurated in 1940 until its operational discontinuation in 1985. The research method used in this study is the historical method which consists of heuristics, verification, interpretation and historiography. Researchers at the heuristic stage collect both primary sources in the form of newspapers that have been published from 1935 to 1940 such as Bataviaasch Nieuwsblad and secondary sources such as books related to Kemayoran. The results of the research show that after the construction of the Kemayoran airfield which was carried out since 1934 and was completed in 1940, Kemayoran became an international aviation hub for KLM and KNILM, but since 1941 Kemayoran began to be used by VVC to train fighter pilots to prepare in case of war. When the second world war in the Pacific erupted, Kemayoran, which received several attacks from Japan, was used by the Allies as a base for fighter aircraft and also as an evacuation site. After the second world war, Kemayoran was reused by the Allies as one of the airfields that facilitated the rescue of APWI. Kemayoran was then integrated into the air defense system of the Indonesian Air Force's Kohanud, namely the Air Defense Wing 300. The history of the Kemayoran airfield began to end when the government through the Jakarta International Airport project moved flight operations to Cengkareng international airport.Key Words : Airfield, Airplane, Indonesian Air Force, Kemayoran
