SOSIALISASI RISIKO ERGONOMI DALAM PENCEGAHAN KELUHAN GANGGUAN OTOT RANGKA (GOTRAK) PADA KELOMPOK TANI DI DESA KARANGLIGAR, KARAWANG
Authors: Nana Rahdiana
Published: September 2023

Gangguan otot rangka (gotrak) adalah ganguan kesehatan dan cidera yang banyak dikeluhkan para petani. Beberapa faktor risiko ergonomi yang teridentifikasi terjadi karena faktor pekerjaan itu sendiri yang terkait dengan postur, beban, lama waktu kerja (durasi), frekuensi, dan lingkungan kerja. Faktor-faktor tersebut apabila terpapar secara terus-menerus dapat mengganggu kesehatan pekerja. Faktor risiko ergonomi lainnya yaitu faktor internal dari individu pekerja, seperti: faktor usia, masa kerja, kebiasaan merokok, dan lain sebagainya. Faktor individu ini dapat mempengaruhi tingkat keluhan ganguan otot rangka (gotrak). Proses kerja petani di sawah cukup banyak dan memakan waktu yang lama, mulai dari penyiapan lahan, pembibitan, penanaman padi, pemeliharaan, penyiangan dan panen. Pekerjaan didominasi oleh jenis pekerjaan manual. Pekerjaan ini mengandung berbagai risiko kesehatan sebagai berikut: (1). Gangguan otot dan tulang akibat kerja, akibat postur tubuh dan tenaga yang digunakan; (2). Kelelahan yang berlebihan akibat durasi pekerjaan, (3). Kelelahan akibat kondisi lingkungan kerja; (4). Risiko terkait individu khususnya gangguan reproduksi bagi wanita yang sedang hamil. Selain penggunaan APD, kegiatan penyuluhan dan sosialisasi risiko ergonomi sebagai upaya pencegahan keluhan gangguan otot rangka (gotrak). Melakukan gerakan peregangan tubuh secara teratur dapat mengendurkan otot dan meningkatkan jangkauan gerak tubuh. Selain itu, melakukan peregangan juga dapat menurunkan risiko cedera seperti keseleo, yang memengaruhi ligamen, atau ketegangan, yang memengaruhi otot atau tendon. Peregangan juga dapat mengurangi rasa sakit dari kondisi kronis, seperti osteoarthritis dan nyeri punggung bawah. Perbaikan dilakukan dengan menyesuaikan tuntutan tugas dengan kemampuan fisik dan mental petani, serta mengendalikan faktor risiko ergonomi yang bersumber dari pekerjaan.
“INDUSTRIES. RESILIENCE” – A SOFTWARE MODEL FOR FUZZY ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL RESILIENCE
Authors:   Russian State University named after A. N. Kosygin, Moscow, Russia, Malyukov Yury A.
Published: September 2023

The aim of this article is to describe the implementation of the new “Industry. Resilience” software program for fuzzy modeling of industries and provide a brief overview of the scientific methods employed in the program. The “Industry. Resilience” program utilizes the following basic technologies in industry modeling: • Matrix aggregate calculator; • Structuring of industry indices using weighted average technologies; • Industry R-lenses; • Algorithms for intelligent data filtering; • Strategic matrix 4x6 in dynamic execution. Through the modeling conducted in the program, it is demonstrated that an industry maintains its economic resilience under the fulfillment of three basic conditions: a) preserving a minimum net profitability of 5–7%; b) achieving an asset turnover rate of at least 1.5 times per year; c) receiving government credit through supplier factoring, resulting in a financial leverage ratio of approximately 1.6. Together, these conditions are expected to yield a return on equity (ROE) of around 20% annually, ensuring significant private capital attraction to the industry, particularly with the provision of additional government guarantees for capital protection (a real option for businesses). The application of artificial intelligence technologies to economic analysis of industries (including their resilience) has already yielded impressive scientific results, but the main achievements are anticipated in the future with the accumulation of data and knowledge across a wide range of economic entities.

ROOT REGENERATION OF OLIVE (OLEA EUROPAEAL.) CUTTINGS: EFFECTS OF MEDIA INJECTIONS AND DELAYED APPLICATIONS OF AUXINS
Authors: İsfendiyaroğlu M
Published: September 2023

The rooting ability of‘Domat’olive cuttings is very low.Therefore, it is necessarily propagated by grafting onto seedling rootstocks. Hence, nursery tree propagation is time consuming and costly. Thus, this work was necessitated to predict the effects of auxin injections to the rooting medium to support the exogenously applied auxin. Besides, predicting the auxin sensitive phase of rooting, when the applied auxin showed the highest efficiency on cuttings treated with hormones, in different days from the cutting insertion was also aimed. Semi-hardwood olive cuttings was used. As the rooting medium,phenol-formaldehyde foam and paper pot were used.The highest rooting percentage (76.6%) was obtained from the foam,injected with 50 mg l-1IBA. However, the highest root number (2.9) and root length (54.1 mm) were observed in foam medium, without injected with IBA. As for the delayed application of hormones, cuttings treated with 5000 mg l-1 IBA on day 5, gave the highest figures of percent rooting (83.3%) and the other rooting parameters. Application of 5000 mg l-1 IBA 5 days later than cutting insertion, would be a good approach due to the highest rooting, and root quality of the cuttings of the studied cultivar and some other table olives which have difficult-to-root cuttings as well..

Factors Limiting the Adoption of Climate-Resilient Agricultural Practices in and Around Oruchiga Settlement
Authors: Beinomugisha Boris , Atwongyeire Doreen , Kalibwani Rebecca M.
Published: September 2023

This study was conducted to establish the potential factors limiting the adoption of climate-resilient agricultural practices in and around the Oruchiga settlement. It was a descriptive study employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches for data collection and analysis. Information was gathered from a sample of 322 respondents and other key informants using questionnaires and interviews. Data was analysed using Microsoft EXCEL and SPSS Version 21.0 to generate both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study identified the different climate-resilient agricultural practices used by smallholder farmers including agroforestry, the use of improved crop varieties and livestock breeds, water-smart technologies, soil fertility management, the use of compost and organic pesticides and small-scale irrigation. The study also found that age, family size (labour), size of land, gender, off-farm activities, group membership and access to credit were some of the potential factors limiting the adoption of climate-resilient agricultural practices in the camp. In conclusion, the study confirmed that different climate-resilient agricultural practices are being used by farmers in the area, and these practices have significantly supported food production systems. Despite their great role in agricultural production, the adoption is still constrained by several factors. The study therefore, recommends government to introduce policies that enable farmers to own and cultivate large-scale farms to increase output. Revisiting land policies is paramount if farmers in the area must increase production through adopted climate-resilient agricultural practices. Small-sized land was one of the reasons farmers failed to use recommended practices; therefore, increasing production per unit area through opening new arable land areas would mean that farmers have enough space to try new technologies/practices. The study also recommends that the government 1) consider the farmers’ willingness and factors impeding their practice before introducing climate-resilient agricultural practices; 2) create awareness among the farmers about the overall benefits and challenges of climate-resilient agricultural practices; 3) integrate newly introduced practices with farmer-friendly indigenous practices; and 4) follow down-top approach and include farmers in any decision-making processes

Environmental Health and Safety Practices in Petrol Stations in Nairobi County, Kenya
Authors: Makiti Andrew Sila , Minga’ate Felix
Published: September 2023

Globally, the effects of human activity on the physical environment have become more pronounced, especially in metropolitan areas, as a result of population growth and the expansion of businesses like petrol stations. In Nairobi, petrol stations are being built close to one another in populated locations and some cases, adjacent to residential areas, which is against the law and the recommended health and safety guidelines. The paper sought to assess the environmental health and safety practices in petrol stations in Nairobi County. Primary data was collected from questionnaires and key informant interviews based on purposive sampling, whereas secondary data was obtained from reports. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis of data was done. SPSS and Excel were used to code and analyse quantitative data. Relative frequencies were determined through descriptive statistics of data. Utilising percentages and frequency, data was compared and corroborated. Fisher’s exact test and the chi test were used in inferential statistics to determine relationships between connected variables. The results indicate that the majority of employees undergo training regardless of their position within the organisation and have knowledge of safety awareness measures. Although the majority (90%) of the petrol stations provided employees with full protective gear, several station facilities provided their employees with footwear alone, exposing employees to the risk of injury. In addition, the majority of the petrol stations had a minimum of at least a fire extinguisher in readiness to handle fire emergencies. Some employees are not aware of the OSHA policies, fire extinguisher use, safety measures, safety standards and what to do in case of emergencies. This study recommends that EPRA should increase the inspections and ensure that petrol stations adhere to the recommended level of health and safety standards

This study was designed to explore whether Chinese herbals could enhance the clinical efficacy of levofloxacin and a combination of antituberculosis drugs. To this end, a group of pulmonary patients were treated with pyrazinamide, isoniazid, ethambutol, and levofloxacin (control), and the other group (treatment) also received a combination of extra Chinese herbal compounds. After 6 months of therapy, the total efficiency of lesion absorption in the treatment group was higher than in the control group. The treatment group had a higher peak expiratory flow rate, a higher percentage of forced vital capacity, a higher percentage of the first second of forced expiration, higher levels of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, and CD4+, and lower levels of CD8+ compared to the control group. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines were lower, the sputum conversion rate was higher, and the recurrence rate was lower in the treatment group than the control group. After therapy, the treatment group had higher scores in the quality of daily life, spirit, appetite, fatigue, and sleep assessments. In conclusion, therapy with levofloxacin and antituberculosis drugs combined with Chinese herbal compounds for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis could effectively relieve the inflammatory reaction, promote lesion absorption, and thus improve their lung function and promote recovery.

To investigate the role of the Internet-based and health care cluster model in the nutritional management of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, we compared the body mass index, insulin resistance index, serum testosterone level, anxiety level, depression level, and disease-related quality of life status of the control group with those receiving regular healthy lifestyle guidance and management. Lifestyle management was carried out through assessment, screening, status analysis, setting body mass management goals, diet management, exercise management, behavior management, and health guidance. After the intervention, the body mass index, insulin resistance index, and serum testosterone levels of the intervention group were lower (P < 0.05) than those of the control group. The scores of the generalized anxiety scale and patient health questionnaire were lower than those of the control group; the scores of the revised patient survival quality scale were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The life nutrition management program based on the Internet and healthcare group model is beneficial in modifying the patients’ endocrine metabolic status, relieving anxiety and depression, and improving their quality of life.

Published: September 2023

This research delves into the analysis of a stochastic Gilpin-Ayala model operating within an anxious environment, encompassing the phenomenon of diffusion between two distinct and specified geographical regions that are the subjects of investigation. Initially, we rigorously formulate the essential criteria for ascertaining the survival or extinction of the species. Furthermore, we furnish empirical substantiation for the presence of a stable distribution. A significant milestone of our study involves the discernment and comprehensive delineation of the pivotal determinants that intricately regulate extinction dynamics and persistence within the framework of pollution parameters. This outcome underscores the pronounced impact of pollution on ecological dynamics and affirms the necessity of incorporating pollution parameters into the purview of environmental investigations. This revelation demonstrates that in the absence of pollution, the conventional criteria governing extinction and persistence closely parallel those witnessed in unpolluted environments, thus validating the robustness of our mathematical analysis. A series of numerical depictions are introduced to validate and provide empirical support for the acquired results.

Published: September 2023

Maize is a strategic staple crop serving both as human food and feed in the livestock sector. It therefore has a critical socioeconomic value safeguarding against food and nutrition insecurity. Maize yields are however low especially among smallholder farmers who rely on this crop for their livelihood and sustenance. This has rendered most Sub-Saharan Africa countries such as Kenya to be net importers and depended on food aid mainly in form of maize. Even though white maize variety is nutritionally inferior, it is the most produced and consumed with little regard placed on yellow maize. We reviewed 154 articles and reports to highlight challenges facing maize production and sustainable agricultural practices that should be embraced to overcome them, nutritional benefits of yellow maize, factors hindering its consumption and research gaps that need to be addressed to enhance its production and utilization. Key production challenges identified include shrinking land sizes, declining soil fertility, adverse and unpredictable weather patterns and the devastating striga weed. Intercropping especially cereals with legumes have great potential for efficient land, water and nutrient resource utilization, manage weeds and minimize crop failure and adverse weather effects. This combined with integrated soil fertility management will ensure increased yields. It was found that yellow maize has higher carotenoid content hence superior to white maize and when taken with grain legumes provides a low-cost balanced diet. Despite this, yellow maize utilization is low because it is regarded as poor man’s crop, associated with food aid and reserved as livestock feed. This negative perception can be changed through educational campaigns on its nutritional value in order to enhance local production and encourage social acceptability to aid alleviate vitamin A deficiency, a key limiting micronutrient. In conclusion, tapping in the nutritional superiority of yellow maize through legume intercropping should be enhanced.

Published: September 2023

Street sold foods are a source of inexpensive, nutritious food for many people living both in the urban and rural areas. It is also a major source of income for many people, particularly women by providing self-employment and the opportunity to develop business skills with low capital investment. However, ready-to-eat foods are a source of contamination and can transmit food-borne diseases through those handling the salads.  Therefore, a quantitative cross-sectional survey of exhaustively sampled 120 vendors was carried out to assess food safety knowledge and hygienic practices among vendors of vegetable salads in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study established that the majority (60 %) of the respondents were males aged between 26-35 (53 %) and most of them had up to the secondary level of education (73 %). The majority of the vendors (59 %) had been trained on food handling practices and therefore had good knowledge of food hygiene, and practiced good hygiene. The results indicate that even though most respondents used gloves and aprons, some did not practice food handling hygienic practices and this could predispose the salads to contamination. The study indicates that the majority of the respondents had formal education and were trained on food handling practices, and this may have had an effect on their perception of hygiene. However, some of the vendors exhibited poor food handling practices and therefore there is a need to enhance training and law enforcement governing street food vending business.
Nuclear polaritons: Mössbauer source and resonant absorber investigated using the coherent paths model
Authors: Havyarimana Claver  , Barancira Thaddée  , Simbizi Réné  , Jos Odeurs
Published: September 2023

Resonant nuclei of a Mössbauer absorber, interacting with the recoil free emitted radiation from a Mössbauer source, can re-emit it without recoil, leading to nuclear-resonant scattering. During the nuclear resonance scattering in the Mössbauer absorber, intermediate states which are combinations of nuclear excited states and electromagnetic radiation (gamma radiation) states are produced. These states are called nuclear polaritons. In this paper, a description of the nuclear polariton inside a Mössbauer absorber is presented by adapting the quantum model previously developed by Heitler, Harris and Hoy, called “the coherent paths model”. This model allows the calculation of all spatial and temporal properties of the nuclear excited states as well as the electromagnetic radiation present inside a resonant absorber. The thickness of the absorber is modeled using a parameter N. The nuclear polariton results then from the magnetic dipole interaction between the quantiﬁed electromagnetic radiation and the resonant nuclei of the absorber. It is an entangled state, composed by the excitation of the nuclei (exciton) and the electromagnetic ﬁeld. The evolution of the nuclear exciton, both as a function of time and as a function of the position of the resonant nuclei in the absorber, is studied. This constitutes the nuclear part of the polariton. The ﬁeld associated with the gamma radiation inside the absorber is studied also as a function of position in the absorber and as a function of time, which is the ﬁeld part of the polariton. Using the purely quantum coherent paths model, we find out that the energy of the polariton inside the absorber oscillates between the nuclear excitation and the ﬁeld of electromagnetic radiation. Nuclear polariton study is then a potential method for probing matter at the subatomic scale.

Avocado is an exotic fleshy fruit dicotyledonous plant grown for its fruit though leaves of the plant have also been used for avocado flavored tea production while the seed is known to contain antioxidants. The consumption of avocados is on the increase in Kenya; however, the value chain experiences losses estimated to be around 40% due to inability of the sector players to convert fresh fruits into more shelf stable products due to limited preservation technologies. Limited information exists on the production status of avocado, postharvest handling and consumption pattern of avocado in Kenya. This paper aims at determining the current Kenyan avocado distribution patterns, production volumes, nutrition properties and post-harvest handling practices. A semi systematic literature review approach was used to review research materials relevant available articles. The most current articles published in reputable journals within the last 10 years were considered. From the literature, avocado crop popularity is on the increase and has surpassed traditional cash crops such as coffee and tea.  According to the findings, avocados can be converted to various products which include avocado oil, guacamoles, dry avocado powder, dehydrated products and avocado blended ice creams. There are gaps in avocado fruit preservation with an estimated 40% loss occasioned by low technologies in product transformation. In conclusion, the sector is in need of knowledge and technologies in product transformation to enable the sector avert losses occasioned by poor post-harvest handling techniques. This literature review provides information on the current status of avocado production, postharvest handling and utilization in Kenya which is useful to avocado marketers, policy makers, authorities, consumers and other stakeholders as well as avocado production and post-harvest handling researchers.

Food safety is key to a health population in the developing countries along the whole value. Maize and its products’ safety from aflatoxin is a concern taking into consideration that they are highly consumed in these countries as their staple food by individuals from different socio- economic levels and upbringings. It’s used to manufacture human foods which include maize flour, grits, porridge, beers among others and animal feeds where their consumption show health benefits such as provision of vitamin B-complex for skin, heart, brain, hair and improved digestion in humans. Aflatoxin exposure from maize products and feeds consumption have been so frequent in alarming rates leading to Aflatoxicosis which is a serious health risks to consumers and livestock, maize grain scarcity and global trade impact therefore nations have set strict threshold limits. Google Scholar database was used in the research of the literature articles that are recent and related to aflatoxin in maize grains. Great emphasis is based on maize grains and feeds’ safety from aflatoxins thus this review is focused on the aflatoxin in maize in terms of research on recent toxicity data, maize contamination impacts, mitigation measures research on safe methods that can’t lead to risks due to further contamination with harmful residuals and the future interventions from the literature that should be installed considering that maize is the main food in Sub- Saharan Africa. Therefore, available mitigations are applicable and hence the government relevant bodies are required to enforce strict measures on their application while enhancing a favorable environment to partners who would be available in installation of the future predicted measures.

Determination of radionuclide transfer from animal   feeds to animal products and ingestion transfer rates is important in assessing internal radiation risk to humans who consume the animal products. Seventy-nine (79) pasture samples and milk samples were collected from cattle farms in seven sub-counties. Activity concentrations of radionuclides in the samples were determined using gamma spectroscopy. Transfer ratios of radionuclides to from pasture to milk were calculated. Ingestion transfer rates of radionuclide from pasture to cow were also determined. Radionuclide accumulation to the body of the cow was modeled. Contributions to radiological effects due to accumulation of radionuclides in the body were estimated. Transfer ratios of uranium and thorium from pasture to milk varied from 0.07 to 0.17, and 0.05 to 0.17, respectively. The ingestion transfer rates of uranium varied from 3.110-6 to 7.6 10-6 y l-1 while for thorium, the ingestion transfer rates varied from 2.2 10-6 to 7.5 10-6 y l-1. The contribution to radium equivalent (Bq l-1), annual effective dose equivalent (mSv y l-1), and excess lifetime cancer Risk due to the radionuclide transfer were 0.074, 0.002, and 0.0061 10-3, respectively. Comparing with the safe values of annual effective dose equivalent in foodstuffs of 0.14 mSv y l-1 which translates to excess cancer risk of 0.42 10-3, these contributions to radiological effects only account for about 1.5% of the total safe value of excess lifetime cancer risk, therefore, radionuclide transfer from pasture to milk causes a minimal radiation hazard to the milk consumers in Kisoro District.

The article is devoted to the study of Mike Naumenko’s creativity – one of the founders of Russian rock culture, musician, poet and translator. It has been prepared for Chinese students and undergraduates enrolled in the Modern Russian Literature program. Naumenko’s title poetic text «Shots» is used as the material of the analysis. This methodological study is done considering the communicative and psychological characteristics of the perception of the material by Chinese students. It is aimed not only at expanding the communicative and linguistic horizons and developing the skills of adequate understanding, interpretation of the song-poetic text, but also at developing its competencies of complex perception, the conceptual-semantic and mental components. Educational and methodological study includes an adapted biography of the poet, literary commentary, a dictionary of words and phrases that are difficult to understand, as well as a complex of lexical and grammatical, test and creative tasks.
