Background: A study was conducted in Zanzibar using ProPAN software to assess nutrient adequacy of foods given to infants and children aged 6-23 months old in Zanzibar.Methodology: The 24-hr dietary recall method embedded in ProPAN software was used to determine the adequacy of energy, protein, iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin A in foods consumed by children. Sample of 200 mothers/caretakers with children aged 6-23 months were interviewed.Results: Most frequent foods given to infants and children were tea, bread, white rice and fish. Key nutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamin A were below the recommended levels except for vitamin C from the diets consumed by children aged 11-23 months. Energy and protein were considered to be adequate as more than 90% of the children received enough of these nutrients. Mean age of introduction of complementary foods was four months.Conclusion: Children diets were limited in fruits and vegetables that caused micronutrients of nutritional importance such as iron, zinc and vitamin A to be supplied below recommended level. Equally, fat intake was below recommended level. Nutrition education on appropriate complementary foods should be given to caregivers. Promotion of consumption of diversified diets and locally available nutrient dense foods should be emphasized so as to achieve adequate intake of nutrients to infants and young children. Keywords: ProPAN, children, nutrient adequacy, Zanzibar.

Background: The study investigated predictors of poor glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods: Data on demographics, anthropometric and clinical parameters were collected in a cross-section survey from 140 adults with T2DM, using standard tools/instruments. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) was assessed as a measure of glycemic control. Results: Majority (83.3%) had poor glycemic control status of which about 95% constitute the elderly. The elderly (OR= 5.90, 95% Cl: 1.66-20.96) were more likely associated with poor glycemic control than the non-elderly (p = 0.006). Adjustment for significant predictor variables: Age, waist-hip ratio (WHR), Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and Systolic blood pressure (SBP), although attenuated the odds (OR= 5.00, 95% CI: 1.19-20.96) of poor glycemic control, it still remained significantly (p = 0.028) higher in the elderly. Patients outside tight FPG control significantly (p = 0.001) showed poor glycemic cotrol than those within tight FPG (OR= 17.39, 95%Cl: 5.83-51.90), even with attenuated OR (OR= 10.85, 95%Cl: 3.10-37.96) and (OR=12.08, 95%Cl: 3.64-40.09) when non- significant and significant predictor variables were accounted for, respectively.Conclusion: Age, WHR, FPG, and SBP were significantly associated with differences in glycemic control. The elderly and FPG outside tight control showed significantly increased odds of poor glycemic control status.Keywords: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; glycemic control status; A1C; Elderly; Fasting plasma glucose; glycemic control predictors.

Published: October 2020

Selangor is leading the other thirteen states in Malaysia in the economy, making it one of the most preferred places to stay for its economic flourish, employment prospect, great infrastructure, and excellent facilities. Selangor is ranked the highest by contributing 23% of its National Gross National Product to Malaysia. Nevertheless, for social indicators, Selangor ranked fourth in the country. Social development was not at par with the fast-growing economy and the extensive physical developments that take place. Thus, the objective of this paper is to identify the critical dimensions of Selangorians’ well-being. We adapted a questionnaire from a Gallup survey and distributed it about 1500 questionnaires to people in Selangor using random and non-proportionate stratified sampling in twelve (12) municipalities of the state. We employed SPSS 22.0 for descriptive results and Smart PLS 3.0 for the structural equation modeling. The finding revealed that the economic dimension (t-values =5.141), environment dimension (t-values =6.668), health dimension (t-value=5.092), and spiritual dimension (t-values= 4.969) were significant to well-being except for emotion dimension (t-values =0.283). This finding provides insights to practitioners, local authorities, and policymakers of the state government in enhancing Selangorians’ quality of life and well-being.

Effects of Ionizing Radiations on Germination of Seed and Morphology of Seedlings of Puerto Rican Coffee, Coffea arabica L.
Authors: Singh-Dhaliwal Tara , Torres-Sepúlveda Aníbal
Published: October 2020

Seed lots from five individual tree selections of Puerto Rican coffee, Coffea arabica L., were irradiated with gamma-ray doses of 1,000 to 50,000 r, and neutron doses of 1 to 5 hours. Gamma-ray doses of 1,000 to 7,000 r raised the germination percentages of many of the seed lots and reduced those of others. Gamma-ray doses of 8,000 to 20,000 r reduced the germination percentages of all the seed lots approximately in direct proportion to the strength of the dose. Gamma-ray doses higher than 20,000 r completely inhibited the seed germination of all the seed lots. One of the seed lots had a 3-percent germination when treated with a neutron dose of 1 hour. All the other seed lots treated with neutrons failed to germinate. Gamma-ray doses of 1,000 to 5,000 r raised, and the higher doses lowered the average heights of the seedlings from the seed lots of Puerto Rican coffee selection 268. However, the radiations reduced the average heights of the seedlings from the seed lots of all other coffee selections in approximately direct proportion to the strength of the dose. Many seedlings from irradiated seed had abnormal leaves, branches, internodes, and so on. The frequency of abnormal plants and the degree of abnormality generally increased as the strength of the radiation dose increased.
A Solar-Energy Method for Reducing Coffee-Drying Costs
Authors: Phillips Allan L.
Published: October 2020

1. Modern coffee-processing facilities that have been developed recently have provided the features of low equipment costs and reduced labor requirements, but are somewhat expensive to operate when electric power is used entirely to heat the drying air. 2. The use of solar energy as a heat source was considered, since previous research where solar heat was used to dry other crops indicates that solar heat-collectors could also be used successfully for drying coffee. 3. An experimental processing facility which employs a solar heat-collector was built and operated, and it has been demonstrated that worthwhile reductions in operating costs can be achieved through the use of solar energy. 4. It was concluded that other coffee producers could economically use solar heat-collectors to reduce electricity costs. Drying facilities should be designed using the following as guides: A. Provide 10 square feet of drying-bin area for each 100 hundred-weights of coffee produced yearly. B. Install a fan which will deliver 100 c.f.m. per square foot of bin area against a static pressure of 1-inch water gage. C. Construct the solar heat-collector according to the specifications presented in figure 1. D. Install electric heating elements which provide up to 5,000 w. for each 100 hundred-weights processed yearly.
A Comparison of Several Noninverting Ion-Exchange Systems used in the Purification of Puerto Rican Sugarcane Juices
Authors: Smith B. A. , Sánchez-Nieva F. , González M. A. , Matos-Maldonado M.
Published: October 2020

Tests were made with five different demineralizing arrangements of ion-exchange resins in the purification of clarified sugarcane juices, but none provided juices superior in quality to those obtained from the reverse-cycle system. Feed juices of variable composition and high purities, and limited testing with the various mixed cycles preclude precise determination of the performance of these arrangements of exchangers, but ash, protein, color, and turbidity removals were insufficient to justify extensive testing. Purity increases obtained with most mixed cycles were found to equal or exceed that from the reverse cycle, indicating that more crystalline sugar would be available from the product juices, but the advantage of such additional sugar would be cancelled by the greater expense of installation and operation of four or five exchanger-beds, as compared with that for the three-bed reverse-cycle system.

Effect of Time of Nitrogen Application on the Sucrose Content of Sugarcane Ratoons
Authors: Samuels George , Alers-Alers Severiano
Published: October 2020

Two ratoon crops of P.R. 980 sugarcane were grown on a Vega Baja silty clay at Río Piedras, P.R., with nitrogen applied at different times. The results indicated that: 1. The applications of nitrogen to ratoons 15 weeks or older significantly reduced the sucrose content of the sugarcane when harvested at 12 months of age. 2. Late applications of nitrogen to ratoons, 15 weeks or later, reduced sucrose-percent-cane even when phosphate and potash fertilizers were present. 3. High nitrogen rates, 250 pounds N per acre, caused significant lowering of sucrose in a 3-week-old ratoon.
Response of a Sugarcane Nematode Population to the Addition of Nematocides in Irrigation Water
Authors: Román Jessé , Badillo José
Published: October 2020

An experiment was conducted in which two nematocides, Nemagon and Fumazone, were applied to sugarcane in irrigation water. The experiment consisted of five treatments: Nemagon 1/2, Nemagon 1, Fumazone 1/2, Fumazone 1 gallon per acre, and control, which consisted of an application of water without nematocide. Two applications were given during the year, the first at planting time, the second 5 months after planting. It was found that the parasitic-nematode population was reduced after the application of the nematocides and, thereafter, the population was gradually increased. Although there was a trend towards higher values for sucrose, cane, and sugar per acre in the plots treated with nematocides, the differences were not significant when compared with the control.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo principal el establecimiento de las relaciones existentes, entre el desempeño motor y la maduración biológica de losfutbolistas de la categoría Sub 16 del equipo de El Nacional en el Ecuador. El mismo se enmarca en el enfoque cuantitativo apoyado en una investigación de campo de carácter descriptivo correlacional, la muestra utilizada para este trabajo de investigación fue de 25 jugadores que están en competición en el Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol Sub 16. Para este estudio se evaluó a los jugadores con la prueba física anaeróbica Running-based Anaerobic Sprint (RAST) y aeróbica Yo-Yo Endurance Nivel 1; además, de haber realizado medidas antropométricas. Se concluye que para las variables estudiadas edad, peso, altura y la Altura Tronco Cefálico (ATC), no existe diferencia significativa con relación al Pico de Velocidad de Crecimiento (PVC). Se infiere que estas diferencias probablemente se deban al aumento de edad, al cambio de etapa de la adolescencia a la juventud y al tiempo de experiencia en que fueron sometidos a regímenes de entrenamiento sistemáticos. Asimismo, se concluye que existe una correlación inversa y una correlación directa entre las pruebas físicas del PVC. Por otro lado, solamente las variables de Potencia Máxima (r=0,466 y p=*0,019) y Media (r= 0,512 y p=**0,009) provenientes del Test RAST presentan una correlación significativa con el pico de velocidad de crecimiento.

Efeitos da prática do treinamento resistido convencional na estabilidade do joelho de mulheres adultas
Authors: Brilhante Ronieri Melo , Brilhante Robson Melo
Published: October 2020

A qualidade do movimento corporal humano tem sido uma das grandes preocupações da ciência nos últimos anos. Nesse sentido, a articulação do joelho passou a receber atenção especial, pois trata-se de uma estrutura complexa e relativamente instável que recebe sobrecarga frequente. Evidências apontam que a estabilidade dessa articulação é influenciada pela eficiência dos músculos posterolaterais do quadril. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o padrão de movimento dos joelhos em mulheres praticantes de treinamento resistido convencional, através do teste Descida do degrau (Step down). Com o step ajustado a 10% da estatura, cada participante realizou três repetições em base unipodal com ambos os membros. Aqui, mostramos que 100% das participantes apresentaram algum nível de valgo dinâmico. Portanto, o treinamento resistido convencional, de forma exclusiva, não assegura boa estabilidade para a articulação do joelho.

Authors: Al-Gahdari Ahmed Musaed Ahmed
Published: October 2020

يسعى هذه البحث إلى إظهار دور المؤسسات الصحية إعلامياً، والإعلام اللبناني الحكومي والخاص كنموذج للإعلام العربي، في التعاطي مع  الأزمات الصحية (كورونا)، واستعداده في مواجهة هذه الأزمات ومحاربة الشائعات التي تثير الخوف والذعر لدى أفراد المجتمع، في ظل انتشار حوامل تنقل هذه الشائعات عبر منصات وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي وتدني مستوى الوعي الثقافي لدي المتعاطين مع شبكات الإعلام الحديث.

وقد استخدم الباحث المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، ومن أجل الوصول إلى النتائج المطلوبة تم اعتماد استمارة تحليل المضمون باعتبارها أداة لجمع البيانات التي تضمنت أخبار وتقارير عدد من المؤسسات الصحية والإعلامية اللبنانية عن تفشي وباء كوفيد 19.

وقد توصلت الدراسة إلي العديد من النتائج كان أهمها:

أظهرت الدراسة تمايزاً في تعاطي المؤسسات الإعلامية الخاصة مع أخبار وتقارير كوفيد 19 كماً ونوعاً، حيث تفرد موقع "لبنان24" بمستوى تغطية أفضل من المؤسسات الحكومية الصحية والإعلامية، بـ (1134)منشوراً خلال فترة الدراسة أي ما يمثل (62.3%)، بينما جاءت عدد منشورات المؤسسات الحكومية الثلاث (وزارة الصحة، مستشفى الحريري، الوكالة الوطنية للإعلام) (686) منشوراً أي بنسبة (37.7%)، من إجمالي منشورات فترة الدراسة.

المؤسسات الحكومية موضوع الدراسة تناولت الأزمة بشكل إيجابي في بدايتها ومن ثم شابها الإهمال حتى إن بعض المؤسسات لم تقدم أي منشور عن تطورات الوباء لعدد من الأيام.

من خلال مقارنتنا للمنشورات في صفحات المؤسسات الحكومية الثلاث احتلت وزارة الصحة المرتبة الأولى من إجمالي المنشورات بالمؤسسات الحكومية.

الوكالة الوطنية لإعلام لبنان غطت الأزمة بشكل سلبي ولم تواكب تناولها في أيام الإجازات.

وقد قدمت الدراسة العديد من التوصيات كان أهمها:

ينبغي على وزارة الإعلام وعبر موقعها وصفحاتها على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي تكثيف التغطية الإعلامية والنصح والإرشاد للمجتمع اللبناني بشكل أكبر مما هي عليه، كونها المصدر الحكومي الأول إعلامياً.

على مستشفى الحريري أن يكثف من تغطيته الإرشادية والتعليمات الوقائية وأن يطمئن المجتمع أكثر من غيره من المؤسسات كونه المستشفى الأكبر من حيث التجهيزات ومركز العزل.

CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM – A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Bac Dorin Paul , Aksoz Emre Ozan
Published: October 2020

Sustainable tourism has become a new method of practicing tourism. It has emerged in the last part of the 20th century, from the efforts of academia as a response to the increasing negative effects of mass tourism, noticeable all over the world. At the same time, sustainable tourism is considered by some a utopia, a narrow niche of the tourism market, with limited perspectives. From a theoretical standpoint, it is highly debated with no consensus regarding its definition, features and principles. In recent years, although significant steps have been taken especially by international organizations, like UNEP (The United Nations Environment Programme) and UNWTO (The World Tourism Organization), sustainable tourism still faces numerous challenges. In the present paper, we have collected information from several authors and organizations and have presented some contemporary challenges for sustainable tourism. For our research, we have tried to identify several common challenges for six selected countries in Central and Eastern Europe – The Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, and also go into a more detailed look in the case of Romania. Finally, we consider that if we can identify specific regional challenges, we might find regional solutions and answers. Considering the numerous similarities between the six countries, there might be common solutions for the benefit of the entire region.
Smear Layer in Endodontics: A review of its role and management
Authors: Abognah Asma
Published: October 2020

Whatever the technique used for root canal instrumentation; a layer of debris termed “smear layer” is formed. This is a layer composed of an organic and inorganic substance and it harbors bacteria and their by-products. Removing the smear layer enhances the cleaning and disinfecting of root canal walls and grant maximum adaptation of root canal filling materials. Nonetheless, the existence of smear layer can seal the dentinal tubules and decrease the probability of dentinal tubule’s invasion by bacteria and their toxins, this issue is still controversial. Smear layer removal approaches including chemical, ultrasonics, and laser have been widely studied. However, none of them is entirely efficient along the length of all canals or is universally recognized. If the decision was to remove smear layer, irrigating root canals with EDTA followed by NaOCl will fulfill the objective. It is still debatable whether the removal of smear layer will decrease the apical leakage or not. Additional research is required to determine the consequence of removing or preserving the smear layer.

Analisa Penutupan Lahan ( Land Cover ) Kota Palembang Berbasis Sistem Informasi Geografis
Authors: Meiriska Ienda
Published: October 2020

This analysis aims to find out the amount of land cover change in Palembang City, where Palembang is one of the cities undergoing land change. The change in land cover is an event of shifting the type of land cover from one species to another followed by increasing and decreasing use over time or changing the function of a land at different times.

Dari yang awalnya berupa kajian teks menjadi kajian sosial-budaya, yang menjadikan masyarakat agama sebagai objek kajian utamanya yang sering disebut sebagai kajian Living Qur’an. Salah satu fenomena Living Qur’an adalah tradisi Megengan dalam menyambut datangnya bulan Ramadhan di masyarakat Jawa. Tradisi Megengan ini dikategorikan sebagai fenomena Living Qur’an karena memenuhi lima indikator. Pertama, tujuan utama dari tradisi Megengan adalah untuk meyiarkan ajaran Islam ke dalam masyarakat, khususnya adalah masyarakat Nusantara (Jawa). Kedua, bentuk daripada doa kepada para leluhur yang telah berpulang kehadirat Allah Azza wa Jalla. Ketiga, wujud pemberian sedekah berupa makanan kepada tetangga. Keempat, meneguhkan Al-Akhwah dan Al-shilah al-Rahim (Persaudaraan dan Kasih Sayang). Tradisi Megengan menjadi bukti sejarah yang hingga terus menancap kuat di dalam amsyarakat Islam, bahwa Islam di Nusantara (Jawa) proses menyebarkannya identik dengan menggunakan pendekatan persuasif-cultural, yang hasilnya adalah Islam yang mendamaikan dan penuh dengan khazanah tradisi dan kebudayaan.
