Authors: Cardona Castaño Juan Camilo
Published: July 2021

Antecedentes: La educación ambiental permite aproximarse al concepto de ambiente. La construcción de dicho concepto radica en las percepciones de adolescentes que, por medio de narrativas e intercambio de diálogo de saberes, lograron disertaciones perceptuales del tópico tratado. Objetivo: Construir, a través del diálogo de saberes, una aproximación teórica sobre el concepto de ambiente, por medio de las percepciones de los adolescentes entre 14 y 17 años. Metodología: El diálogo de saberes permite entender el entramado desde la complejidad del ambiente, para lo cual fue necesario recolectar los conceptos que el grupo focal emitió en notas de participación, utilizando el diario de campo y la observación. La investigación es cualitativa de tipo narrativa. Resultados y discusiones: El concepto de ambiente resultó complejo definirlo, salvo por las experiencias y las vivencias de los participantes, los cuales trasladaron las percepciones del entorno al ambiente y las analizaron con ciertas problemáticas de la vida diaria. Conclusiones: El concepto de entorno es una construcción humana, donde los factores antropogénicos intervienen. El grupo de participantes reconoce que el ser humano ha hecho del ambiente un punto de quiebre en la relación (entre) hombre naturaleza.

Water is the vital natural resource for the survival all biotic species. Demand of water is growing day by day as a result of rapid industrialization, production, and growth in population. As a result, it is necessary to look for the alternatives to reduce our freshwater usage. Grey-water treatment appears to be one of the most promising alternatives. The conventional filtration process with sand as a filter media is considered as a cost effective technique for water and waste water treatment. Amongst the various techniques of filtration, the performance of the Multicompartment Sand Filter, a modified version of a sand filter is examined in this paper in four different experimental setups. It is discovered that this sand filter is effective in removing Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids and turbidity with percentage removal of 95.94%, 89.72%% and 64.69%% respectively. This filter is easy to manage, adaptable, compact and cost effective.

Published: July 2021

The yield of agriculture primarily depends on the soil moisture, soil fertility and the use of suitable fertilizers. The method of manually measuring the soil nutrients is inaccurate in the current scenario due to laps between soil samples collected at the field and measuring in the laboratory. IoT has made changes in so many fields to monitor the data remotely despite of existing wireless technologies like Zigbee, GSM, etc. In this work an effort is made to collect the data related to various soil nutrients from agriculture filed using multiple sensors. Once the data is monitored and collected at the control center helps to apply a machine algorithms to take the appropriate decision for an efficient crop yield. In the proposed system, the sensors connected to the node at the field measures the macro nutrients of the soil, temperature and humidity of the soil. The nutrition majorly required for the growth of the plant is nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorous (P) amount present in the soil. In this work a microcontroller with WiFi is used to interface various sensors and display the measured value in the LCD. This application will provide a user interface to monitor the fertilizers, irrigation and humidity control.

Published: July 2021

The automatic classification of historical data of myriad diverse meteorological sequences in the annual period can help to find the climate differences through key phenology of rice. In this paper, a hybrid gradients-shape dynamic time warping (HGSDTW) algorithm is proposed to measure the similarity of meteorological data during the diverse rice growth period at various locations. The weighting calculation of Euclidean distance uses the form factor in the rice jointing and heading stage. The distance matrix constructs first & second-level gradient single-factor transformation sequences during the period. The dynamic programming method obtains the similarity distances of single and multiple meteorological factors. The results show that the classification accuracy rate from HGSDTW of the heading & jointing stage is higher than that of other similar algorithms. Furthermore, it can observe that the clustering number increases the classification accuracy, and the HGSDTW algorithm maintains the accuracy of 14% for varieties of rice at diverse locations to multiple years of jointing. Besides, the automatic classification experiment of sequence period shows that the classification accuracy of this method is higher than that of another similarity measure. The classification accuracy rate of the heading stage sequence is 10%~14% higher than that of a similar previous standard measurement algorithm, and the jointing period is 1%~9% higher. In this case, the cluster number increasing the classification accuracy, and the HGSDTW maintain the overall accuracy of 14%. Thus, this method can be effectively combined with the classification algorithm to improve the efficiency of the automatic classification of multi-weather sequence data in key phenological periods of rice.

Ayurveda is a scientific text which covers all aspects of Rachana Sharir and Kriya Sharir. This Sharir is now-a-days modernized as Anatomy and Physiology. To understand anatomy the primary knowledge of anatomical landmarks is essential. Reference points located by visual inspection, palpation, or computer assistance are useful in localizing structures on or within the human body are called Anatomical landmarks. These are frequently used by Anatomists and clinicians to guide both diagnosis and treatment. In Ayurveda, the concept of Anatomical landmark is already present but in scattered manner. The concept of Nabhi in Ayurveda is many folded concept which needs more exploration. It can be considered as Koshthanga, as Marma, as Sira & Dhamani Prabhava Sthana, as an anatomical landmark and many more. In this paper an attempt has been made to collect references related to Nabhi from various Samhitas indicating it as an anatomical landmark and by analyzing these references logically, the concept of Nabhi as an important landmark has been established and reconstructed in accordance with modern Anatomical landmark categories.

Published: July 2021

Cancer, a disease which has enormously multiplied over a last few decades, put to suffer tens of millions of people all over the world irrespective of gender, age or colour. The incidence of patients with cancer in India among males was 94.1 per 100,000 and among females 103.6 per 100,000 in the year 2020. 1 in 9 Indians develop cancer during their life time. Now days, the survival rate of cancer is much better due to vigorous interventions. Chemotherapy, is one of the main tool to kill the rapidly growing cancer cells. i.e., it shows its poisonous effect or simply they are poisons. The effect of chemo drugs on normal cells often causes many side effects. In fact the administration of chemo drugs results in the accumulation of poisons that shows symptoms like hair fall, mouth sores, fatigue, loss of appetite etc. Many complications develop after chemotherapy due to Dhatuagnimandya occurring as a result of the accumulation of Garavisha (artificial poison). Most of the complications noticed are similar to Garavisha lakshanas such as Pandu, Alpagni, Durbalatha etc. Acharya mentioned the yoga “Moorvadichoornam” with proper Anupana, which is specified for indigestion due to Garavisha consisting of drugs with many properties to compensate the side effect of chemotherapy. In this paper, a conceptual study is proposed to evaluate the effect of Moorvadi choornam in post chemotherapeutic complications. Signs of Agnimandya is very clear at the level of Dhatus and this drug combination is expected to act at Jadaragni and Dhatuagni level.

The trial of corruption cases by teleconference is very vulnerable to manipulation of the trial or game cases that can obscure or change the actual facts, internet network connections. In addition, with atrial teleconference for judges, public prosecutors and legal advisors cannot see the direct response of the examined parties to determine the gesture in answering and giving reasons in answering questions, making it difficult to catch whether there has been a blurring of facts or not. The problems of this research are 1) How is the evidence in the trial of corruption cases by teleconference during the COVID-19 pandemic? 2) How should a case prove a corruption case teleconference during the COVID-19 pandemic? By using normative juridical research methods, it is known that 1) Supreme Court Regulation No. 4 of 2020 in principle has accommodated the process of evidentiary the trial of corruption cases and is legal according to law, but in practice not all cases of corruption can be proven by teleconference. 2) The process of evidentiary the trial of corruption cases by teleconference in the COVID-19 pandemic situation that should be carried out is optional so that in practice it does not need to be carried out by teleconference, this returns to the weight of the case being handled.

Does Industry Specialist Auditor Provide More Insights in Their audit report? An Empirical Study of Key Audit Matters Section
Authors: He Li-Jen
Published: July 2021

Abstract

In 2015, International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) released new International Standards on Auditing 701 and required auditors to disclose key audit matters (KAM) in the audit report. Similar standards were also released in the United States in 2017 and the United Kingdom and Ireland Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in 2014. As KAM are expected to inform on matters of the greatest significance during an audit, before exploring the question regarding whether investors will obtain useful information from additional matter disclosures, the anterior consideration may be in regard to how audit quality affects the disclosure quality of KAM. This study use hand-collected data of the KAM disclosed in the audit reports of Taiwanese listed companies in 2016 to explore the association between auditor industry specialization and audit quality by the disclosure of KAM in new audit reports. The empirical results show that the association between the industrial specialist audit partner and the measurement of KAM quality is significantly positively related. The findings support our hypothesis that specialist auditors’ KAM are more informative than those issued by non-specialist auditors, and provide new evidence supporting prior studies about the superior auditing ability and disclosure quality of auditor industry specialist.

The essence of water in our everyday activities cannot be overemphasized. The major source of water in the Middle East is seawater and the most widely used technique for water treatment is Reverse osmosis (RO). However, the major challenge in the use of RO is the high-energy consumption resulting from the need for pumping at very high pressure. In this research work, the capability of a low-pressure Membrane Distillation (MD) technique as a replacement for RO was evaluated. A comparative study of MD and RO was done using process intensification, cost estimation, and process economic approach. The study was performed using process intensification metrics including mass intensity; waste intensity; productivity/size ratio; productivity/weight ratio; flexibility and modularity. The cost estimation involving the capital and operating expenses for RO and MD desalination plants was also determined based on the productivity of the plants. Moreover, process economic factors including profits, cash flow, and cumulative cash flow were also evaluated. The preliminary results obtained showed that the MD and RO possess the same capability to be used in the desalination plant based on process intensification. In addition, MD can be preferred in a situation where waste heat can be harnessed from neighboring industries. MD can also be better than RO with respect to the resistance of MD membrane materials to fouling. On the other hand, MD is more expensive than RO based on cost estimation and process economic results obtained.
KONSEP AL-FANA’, AL-BAQA’ DAN AL-ITTIHAD ABU YAZID AL-BUSTAMI
Authors: Junaidin Junaidin
Published: July 2021

This article is an analysis of the concepts of fana, baqa and Ittihat promoted by Abu Yazid al-Bustami. The understanding of Fana' which was developed by him is to state that when humans have reached the level of Fana', which means the loss of awareness of the existence of oneself and the environment, then he will be Baqa' which means continuous in the attributes of divinity. Namely, the eternal commendable attributes and attributes of God in humans and the peak is that humans can unite or ittihad with God so that the personal self becomes non-existent and there is only God. This understanding received mixed responses from the scholars. Shari'ah scholars or fiqh experts tend to state that this understanding is misleading and al-Bustami is said to be infidel, some consider it just a deviation and some understand that an understanding based on al-Bustami's expressions cannot be used as a guide because it was conveyed when he was not in his self-consciousness, but is subject to intuition when he is mortal', baqa', and Ittihad.

In fact, translation is an operation or activity that aims to render the meaning of a message expressed in the source language into the target language in order to achievelinguistic equivalence. However, this presentation tries to prove that despite the consideration of the linguistic elements in a translation activity, translation has much affinity with culture because the meaning of a word is derived from the culture of the community or society that speaks that language. This paper observes that there are a lot of cultural elementsin literary works which normally create problems for the translator if he or she does not possess the cultural baptism in the languages in question. The paper aims at alerting the translator of these problems and to proffer solutions to avoid realizing a translation which is far from the intended message of the writer of the source language.Consequently the paper insists that a good translator should become what he calls a cultural mid-wife.

Social and Cultural Integration of Senegalese Immigrants Living in Istanbul
Authors: SIDI B Dıane
Published: July 2021

This article describes the cultural and social difficulties that accompany the integration process of Senegalese immigrants, particularly those who have settled in the city of Istanbul. More specifically, it examines the immigrants' environment, their feelings, perceptions, and motivations, as well as the individual and collective strategies they use to integrate into Turkish society. Such a perspective necessarily places the individual at the center of our concerns and seeks to analyze the factors that ensure the dynamics of his or her progress in the host society.
To do this, support was taken from the concept of symbolic interactionism of George Mead (1963) an application with the experience of Senegalese settled in the city of Istanbul. It aims to try answer the following question: How do the coping strategies implemented by immigrants influence the outcome of their integration process in the host society? More precisely, how do immigrants interact with the host environment and the identity processes they develop there?
After comparing the theoretical data with the interview data of 52 Senegalese migrants in Istanbul, it was concluded that most Senegalese immigrants interact with the social and cultural references of their country of origin to integrate into the host society. Therefore, this limits their effective integration in Turkey.

The Influence of Perceived Access to Healthy Food and Physical Activity on the Subjective Health of African Americans in Rural Communities
Authors: Walker Jo Ellyn O.Y. , Cunningham George
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study was to examine the presence of food deserts on the subjective health of rural residing African Americans. The authors also examined the potential moderating role of physical activity. Data were part of a larger health assessment project. In this study, African Americans (156 women, 49 men) taking part in this study lived in rural central Texas. Results indicate that whereas participants did not perceive a lack of healthy food, they did perceive financial barriers to obtaining such diet options. Further analyses revealed that the presence of food deserts interacted with physical activity levels to predict subjective health: when activity levels were low, food deserts were negatively associated with subjective health, but these effects were nullified when physical activity levels were high. African Americans living in rural settings face unique challenges to obtaining and consuming healthy food, and as a result, health can suffer. These negative effects can be countered though by engaging in the recommended levels of moderate physical activity.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study was to identify which elements in Rogers’ (2003) diffusion of innovation theory are more likely to influence the adoption and diffusion of distance education in health education. Researchers used Survey Monkey to disseminate an instrument to health education faculty and instructors currently employed by the health education and promotion departments listed in the AAHE directory (2011). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the likelihood of distance education adoption by health education faculty is dependent on the communication channels and characteristics of the innovation (distance education) elements of the diffusion of innovation theory.
Privilege, Oppression and the Affordable Care Act: Cultural Implications for Health Educators
Authors: Story Chandra , Crethar Hugh , Hall Tayler
Published: July 2021

The United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides an opportunity for more equitable healthcare. Preventive care provisions under the ACA have the potential to address persistent health disparities. However, many health disparities are fueled by issues of privilege and oppression in our society, which lead to inequitable access. Those in positions of privilege may have greater access to quality care, even in light of the ACA. Health educators are equipped to address underpinning issues of oppression and privilege through equitable participation and culturally competent programming.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study was to assess parents’ and teens’ views on talking about sex and birth control and their level of comfort in discussing these topics. The methodology consisted of telephone surveys with 988 adults and in person interviews with 797 teens within two counties in South Carolina. This study found that more teen females than males communicated with adults about discussing sex or birth control and mothers were most likely to be sought out. Over half of the teens indicated that they had talked to another adult about sex or birth control and the person most likely sought out was an adult friend. Most parents agreed that they talk openly with their teens about waiting to have sex as well as using condoms and other birth control. Similarly, most parents reported they felt very comfortable talking to teens about sex or birth control with women and African-Americans reporting greater comfort. Teens indicated that they felt very comfortable talking with their parents about sex, with African American females and White males reporting more comfort than White females. These results may indicate that teens are interested in seeking sexual health information from parents, including adult friends. Adults’ willingness to engage in these topics with teens is vitally important. In our study, racial and gender differences were found in comfort level of both parents and teens talking about sex.
Climatic Exposure Risk Associated With Skin Cancer
Authors: Ratnapradipa Dhitinut , McDaniel Justin
Published: July 2021

Skin cancer is a public health concern due to high incidence and prevalence rates. In contrast to many other types of cancer, melanoma incidence rates have increased significantly since the 1960s. As the most common form of cancer, melanoma is a significant yet highly preventable health concern. The purpose of the present study was to explore ssociations between melanoma incidence rates and climate change. A review of data available from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations (NOAA) revealed significant changes in melanoma incidences rates and essential meteorological variables. Spending more time outdoors primary to increases in average temperatures may result in greater risk of DNA mutations in skin cells especially as ultraviolet indices have increased alongside ozone diminution. Public health interventions should situate melanoma risk within the context of climate change by encouraging both sun protective and pro-environmental behavior.
Evaluation of Healthcare Avoidance Behavior Using the Healthcare National Trends Survey
Authors: Chan Yiu Ming , Laster Clauda
Published: July 2021

As online search engines have become increasingly popular for people to use to locate necessary health information, the number of individuals choosing to avoid visiting a doctor is dramatically increasing. This study analyzed 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) data and found that people who avoid visiting a doctor were more likely to be male, younger, and less educated than those who do not avoid seeing a doctor. Also, individuals who have less health insurance coverage, have serious psychological distress (SPD), and suffered cancer information overload were more likely to report psychosocial barriers to care. Furthermore, the levels of trust of doctors and visiting a social networking site were significant predictors of “doctor avoidance.” In addition, individuals who felt their personal health information was not being safely guarded by doctors were more likely to avoid visiting a doctor. These findings can help healthcare professionals better understand the characteristics of persons who avoid visiting a doctor and professionals can use these conclusions to provide more effective ways to deliver health information to change healthcare behavior.
Using Social Cognitive Theory to Predict Intention to Smoke in Middle School Students
Authors: Miller Garrett , Sharma Manoj , Brown David , Shahbazi Mohammad
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study was to use social cognitive theory to predict the frequency and intention for not smoking among middle school students. The study utilized a cross-sectional design (n=163) and administered a 38-item valid and reliable questionnaire. Frequency for smoking was predicted by environment not supportive to smoking (p < 0.0001) and emotional coping (p < 0.001) (Adjusted R2= 0.20). Intent to smoke was predicted by emotional coping (p < 0.0001); environment not supportive to smoking (p < 0.001), expectations for not smoking (p < 0.003), and self-control for not smoking (p <0.017) (Adjusted R2= 0.36).

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate a faith-based intervention, known as Eve’s AppleNutrition Education Program. A nutrition education session was provided once a week for eight weeks at a church, with sessions composed of lecture, discussion, and hands-on activities. Matched pre- and post-program survey data for 38 women showed that participants decreased negative dietary behaviors (emotional eating, snacking on sweets, haphazard meal planning, meal skipping, cultural factors) and increased low-fat eating(p < .01). Although pilot studies may present limitations, this faith-based strategy seems to be promising for addressing dietary behaviors among African American women.

Authors: Vidourek Rebecca , King Keith , Rosen Brittany , Fehr Sara
Published: July 2021

Background: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection. The HPV vaccination is an effective method of preventing cervical cancer and genital warts. The present study examined females’ perceptions of male HPV vaccination. Methods: Participants were females (N = 306) from one Midwestern university. Results: Results indicated significant differences in perceived benefits to male HPV vaccination students’ based on grade and knowing a male/female that had the vaccine. No significant differences in perceived barriers were found in the study. Conclusions: These findings should be considered when developing programs aimed at educating students on the male HPV vaccine. The role of females in increasing male HPV vaccination rates should be considered.
Qualitative Investigation of Health Information Seeking Behavior Utilizing Social Media in a College Population
Authors: Hackman Christine , Pember Sarah
Published: July 2021

The main purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to understand undergraduate college student use of social media to seek out health information. A total of 10 interviews were conducted with undergraduate males and females in 2014. Open coding was employed and five themes were chosen as representative: social connection, social pressure, representation of self, critical consumerism, and passive engagement. All participants reported receiving health information passively, while the majority reported actively seeking health information on social media. However, issues of misrepresentation and reliability of information were explored. Social media is a feasible health promotion tool to reach college-aged individuals.

Published: July 2021

This study investigated the effectiveness of a yoga exercise and relapse prevention program on physical health outcomes, predictors of exercise and exercise adherence in adults aged 40-64 years with osteoarthritis. A yoga intervention was first implemented to all the participants, and then participants were randomized into one of two conditions: a relapse prevention program, which provided continued encouragement and guidance for practicing yoga, and a control group. Results (two-way repeated measures ANOVA) indicated that participation in the yoga intervention significantly improved pain (P<0.001), physical function (P<0.001) and physical activity levels (P=0.003), but the relapse prevention interven-tion provided no added benefit.

Published: July 2021

Hispanic American women face high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Cultural influences, language barriers, and lifestyle habits are major influences on health outcomes for this demographic. The peer education model has been proven to decrease health disparities for Hispanic communities overall, and increase effectiveness of health programs. As prevention education becomes more mainstream however, it is important to develop programs grounded in theory. The Social Cognitive Theory offers a theoretical framework for diabetes peer education programs geared to Hispanic American women, with its core constructs of personal cognitive, socioenvironmental, and behavior factors interacting in a way known as reciprocal determinism.

Published: July 2021

e purposes of this research were to determine whether participation in a university elective instruction-al physical activity program course (IPAP) would increase the weekly physical activity level of students and resultin a signi cantly higher score on the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES). Treatment-group participantswere enrolled in an elective IPAP course that was either sport-based (e.g., volleyball, tennis) or physical condi-tioning-based (e.g., aerobic/strength training). Control-group participants (N=180) were students from the sameuniversities who were not enrolled during that term in an IPAP course. Student responses to the Godin-ShephardLeisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire indicated within-group changes in pre vs. post physical activity thatwere signi cant for the treatment group, but not the control group. Results indicate participation in an IPAPcourse signi cantly increases the physical activity levels of students and also signi cantly increases the physical activ-ity enjoyment of students with the most sedentary lifestyles.
