Tumut village is the highest hamlet located in Jrakah Village, Selo District, Boyolali Regency. Most of the livelihoods of the village Tumut community are farmers and ranchers. Besides having natural resources in the agricultural sector, also has potential in the livestock sector. Most of the hamlet communities own livestock. The livestock sector in village Tumut is not optimized due to the lack of public knowledge about how to raise livestock properly. In the dry season, farmers only rely on the rest of the grass for animal feed without providing adequate nutrition to livestock. Forage feed can be developed to be one way to meet the nutrition and protein of livestock by processing feed fermentation. Rice straw is one of the ingredients that can be used in the fermentation process to improve the quality of animal feed. Through training on feed management by means of fermentation, it can help improve the quality of livestock and be able to overcome community problems. The method used in this training is in the form of socialization and counseling and followed by direct practice regarding feed processing with the fermentation method to residents. The result of the value fermentation method is in the form of animal feed which has higher nutrition and can make it easier for farmers to find feed for livestock. Where the results of the feed produced can also last longer than ordinary grass feed.

Published: January 2022

In this research, the partially ordered monoid (simple pomonoid) full transformations of a poset O(X) is studied, and some related properties are examined. We show that when the poset X_ is not totally ordered, the pomonoid of all decreasing singular self-maps of a poset X_ (denoted by S^-) and the pomonoid of all increasing singular self-maps of a poset X_ (denoted by S^+) may not be generally isomorphic. Some specific partial ordered relations are considered, and the cardinalities of S^- and S^+ under these relations are found. The set of fixed, decreasing, and increasing points of mapping α in O(X) are also investigated.

A High-resolution Study of Magnetic Field Evolution and Spicular Activity around the Boundary of a Coronal Hole
Authors: Wang Jiasheng , Lee Jeongwoo , Liu Chang , Cao Wenda , Wang Haimin
Published: January 2022

In this study, we analyze high-spatial-resolution (0.″24) magnetograms and high-spatial-resolution (0.″10) Hα off-band (± 0.8 Å) images taken by the 1.6 m Goode Solar Telescope to investigate the magnetic properties associated with small-scale ejections in a coronal hole boundary region from a statistical perspective. With one and a half hours of optical observations under excellent seeing, we focus on the magnetic structure and evolution by tracking the magnetic features with the Southwest Automatic Magnetic Identification Suite (SWAMIS). The magnetic field at the studied coronal hole boundary is dominated by negative polarity with flux cancellations at the edges of the negative unipolar cluster. In a total of 1250 SWAMIS-detected magnetic cancellation events, ∼39% are located inside the coronal hole with an average flux cancellation rate of 2.0 × 1018 Mx Mm−2 hr−1, and ∼49% are located outside the coronal hole with an average flux cancellation rate of 8.8 × 1017 Mx Mm−2 hr−1. We estimated that the magnetic energy released due to flux cancellation inside the coronal hole is six times more than that outside the coronal hole. Flux cancellation accounts for ∼9.5% of the total disappearance of magnetic flux. Other forms of its disappearance are mainly due to fragmentation of unipolar clusters or merging with elements of the same polarity. We also observed a number of significant small-scale ejections associated with magnetic cancellations at the coronal hole boundary that have corresponding EUV brightenings.

The luminosity function of active galactic nuclei (AGN) probes the history of supermassive black hole assembly and growth across cosmic time. To mitigate selection biases, we present a consistent analysis of the AGN luminosity functions (LFs) derived for both X-ray and mid-infrared (MIR) selected AGN in the XMM-Large Scale Structure field. There are 4268 AGN used to construct the MIR luminosity function (IRLF) and 3427 AGN used to construct the X-ray luminosity function (XLF), providing the largest census of the AGN population out to z = 4 in both bands with significant reduction in uncertainties. We are able for the first time to see the knee of the IRLF at z > 2 and observe a flattening of the faint-end slope as redshift increases. The bolometric luminosity density, a proxy for the cosmic black hole accretion history, computed from our LFs, shows a peak at z ≈ 2.25, consistent with recent estimates of the peak in the star formation rate density (SFRD). However, at earlier epochs, the AGN luminosity density is flatter than the SFRD. If confirmed, this result suggests that the build up of black hole mass outpaces the growth of stellar mass in high-mass systems at z ≳ 2.5. This is consistent with observations of redshift z ∼ 6 quasars that lie above the local M − σ relationship. The luminosity density derived from the IRLF is higher than that from the XLF at all redshifts. This is consistent with the dominant role of obscured AGN activity in the cosmic growth of supermassive black holes.

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic pathway is critical for early breast cancer detection and prognosis improvement. Countries such as the United Kingdom, particularly England, have implemented faster diagnosis standards to ensure that patients receive a definitive diagnosis of cancer or are ruled out within 28 days of referral. However, there is a severe shortage of data on the experiences of breast cancer patients in Malaysia during the diagnostic interval. AIM: This study aimed to explore what happened to the women during the diagnostic phase prior to confirmation of breast cancer. METHODOLOGY: Purposive sampling was applied, and 14 participants were recruited from two government hospitals. The participants took part in in-depth, face-to-face, one-time, and audio-recorded interviews. All the interviews were subsequently transcribed verbatim and analyzed using narrative analysis. RESULTS: The diagnostic interval for the women in this study was 1–3 months from first medical contact till diagnosis. Four themes were identified during the analysis for the diagnostic interval: 1) Women who are suspected of having breast cancer; 2) Women who experience false reassurance; 3) Woman who experience delayed referral; and 4) Women who experience inconclusive investigation results. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that early warning signs of breast cancer may prompt doctors to take immediate action. However, unexpected delays may occur as a result of staffing and system issues in the healthcare system. Healthcare professionals should aggressively refer patients with typical symptoms and actively follow-up with patients who present with atypical symptoms in the community. Continuing education for healthcare professionals is necessary to improve diagnostic and referral procedures.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has a severe impact globally, not limited to general health and mental health. Pregnant women are a vulnerable group. Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy significantly affect physical and psychological health.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore the anxiety felt by pregnant women holistically about their pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODOLOGY: This study is qualitative phenomenological research with a naturalistic approach. The informants consisted of 20 pregnant women from three different islands and provinces in Indonesia in February 2021. They were selected to obtain heterogeneous data based on education level, gestational age, urban-rural areas, culture, and religion. The collection of information data used semi-structured interview guidelines with 12 questions. Data analysis used qualitative content analysis to explore pregnant women’s anxiety with a similar meaning using software (Nvivo release 12).

RESULTS: Five domains caused anxiety for pregnant women related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as feeling worried about being infected with COVID-19, the impact on health during pregnancy, the family economy, the circulating information around the community, and unfulfilled spiritual needs in utilizing places of worship.

CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced pregnant women in a bio-psycho-socio-cultural manner, both about themselves, their fetuses, and their families. Anxiety that mothers feel during the pregnancy process needs proper treatment to protect the mothers’ health and babies’ well-being in the future. Thus, early detection or screening of anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in health services is necessary.
The Association between Cerebrospinal Fluid Open Pressure and Body Mass Index in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is strongly associated with obesity. However, the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid open pressure (CSFOP) and body mass index (BMI) is still controversial.

AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between CSFOP and BMI in patients with IIH.

METHODS: The measurement of CSFOP was done by Lumbar puncture manometry following a standardized procedure. Age and gender were registered and BMI was calculated for each patient.

RESULTS: This study enrolled 104 patients with IIH, 96 females and eight males, with mean age was 31.88 ± 13.73 years. The mean CSFOP was 410.48 ± 129.98 mm H2O and the mean BMI was 33.97 ± 53 kg/m2. There was a significant positive relationship between the CSFOP and BMI (p = 0.0001) according to the Pearson correlation test. There was no relationship between the age (p = 0.06), gender (p = 0.16) and CSFOP of the patients.

CONCLUSIONS: The CSFOP was positively correlated with high BMI of the patient. There was no relationship between patients demographic features and CSFOP.

Il ressort de la littérature sur les effets de la régulation marchande dans le secteur éducatif que le marché produit, d’abord et avant tout, du marketing de la part des établissements scolaires en direction des « consommateurs » d’école. Ce que les recherches existantes ont eu tendance à passer sous silence, à cet égard, c’est le fait que tous les établissements ne sont pas égaux face à l’injonction à se construire une identité distinctive valorisée, certains n’étant pas en capacité de renvoyer une image positive d’eux-mêmes auprès de leur environnement. En effet, contrairement à une idée répandue dans la littérature sur l’identité organisationnelle, qui veut que ce soient les membres de l’organisation qui détiennent le pouvoir sur la définition de l’identité de leur établissement, on insistera ici sur le rôle déterminant joué par les audiences de l’organisation dans ce processus définitionnel à travers les contraintes exercées par l’environnement et l’allant de soi des catégories instituées sur l’identité. En effet, pour des raisons de légitimité, une organisation ne peut pas revendiquer n’importe quelle identité parce qu’elle s’inscrit dans un environnement qui structure en partie son identité, par le jeu des catégories propres à une population organisationnelle. L’identité d’un établissement scolaire est d’emblée partiellement définie par le biais des catégories auxquelles on peut l’associer. Par conséquent, la notion de population désigne également un ensemble d’organisations définies par une identité sociale forcée. La construction identitaire est donc fortement contrainte par la catégorie à laquelle une organisation appartient.

Ce chapitre porte sur l’analyse d’un espace local dans lequel se côtoient six écoles secondaires. L’analyse vise à saisir les caractéristiques des niches éducatives occupées par ces écoles, mais surtout à comprendre le caractère relationnel de ces niches et la manière dont elles se construisent simultanément en fonction de catégories institutionnalisées et des positions occupées par les autres établissements au sein de cet espace local. Les données collectées permettent également de discuter l’hypothèse selon laquelle les organisations seraient doublement contraintes dans leur travail de construction d’identité, d’une part par la position initialement occupée et, d’autre part, eu égard aux identités catégorielles disponibles sur leur marché.

Ce chapitre présente une enquête comparant les réactions de deux écoles primaires anglaises face aux classements de performance. La littérature scientifique existante distingue trois réponses typiques dont disposent les personnels des établissements scolaires pour faire face aux classements de performance : des réponses cognitives, identitaires et organisationnelles. L’analyse empirique montre qu’en pratique les acteurs scolaires combinent ces diverses réponses, et que l’effet des classements sur les organisations dépend moins d’une position objective dans le classement que du sens que les acteurs scolaires lui attribuent localement et de leur capacité à se le réapproprier pour valoriser leur identité. Les résultats présentés font ensuite l’objet d’une discussion qui porte sur les enjeux de visibilité, d’authenticité et d’opacité au cœur des marchés « informés ». La maîtrise des impressions organisationnelles ne se traduit pas nécessairement par la fabrication d’images inauthentiques de la part des établissements, mais plutôt par une nécessité et une volonté de clarifier leur projet scolaire dans un environnement saturé d’informations diverses.
