Published: June 2022

Dera is one of the potential districts in teff production. Nonetheless, there are some restraints and prospects in teff commercialization still unaccustomed. This study initiates to examine the teff market chain in the Dera district. It concentrates to synthesize the behavior, transparency, and effectiveness of teff market expending data from different sources. It involved teff producers, wholesalers, retailers, rural assemblers, cooperatives, urban assemblers and processors. The data investigation engaged expressive inferential statics & SCP model. Concerning marketing, the result indicates that producers supplied to the market via rural retailers, wholesalers and directly to consumers 57.7% of teff produced in 2017 cropping season. There are eleven marketing channels in transferring 2268 Quintals of teff from farmers to different intermediaries until reaching end buyers. The market structure of teff is weakly oligopolistic, implying that the market is not competitive. The producers' share of margin for the teff market accounts 68.96% associated with a 31.04% total gross margin. The marketing channel with more teff supplied can have a high or low marketing margin depending on the presence of value-adding market agents in the track. It implies that the channel with more teff supplied is not necessarily the channel in which the highest market margin. The marketing agents in the study area incur primary transaction costs like packing, loading and unloading, storage, transportation, communication and other personal costs. Therefore, improved bargaining power, access to accurate market information and infrastructural development are essential for a better performing teff market.

Berbagai kebijakan pemerintah untuk memutus mata rantai penyebaran virus Covid 19 seperti membatasi ruang gerak masyarakat telah berdampak pada turunnya jumlah kunjungan wisata di Indonesia. Selain itu, ditutupnya akses wisata, semakin memperpuruk kondisi pariwisata di Indonesia. Padahal, sektor pariwisata merupakan salah satu sektor strategis nasional yang memiliki dampak ganda pada industri-industri turunan yang terbentuk di bawahnya seperti penginapan, rumah makan, jasa transportasi dan lain-lain. Dampak kondisi itu juga sangat dirasakan pengelola dan warga desa wisata AlasSumur, Kec.Pujer,  Kab.Probolinggo. Desa Wisata yang baru dibuka 2017 lalu itu nyaris tak ada pengunjung selama pandemi. Padahal, sebelumnya mampu menghadirkan sekitar 500 orang pengunjung setiap harinya. Untuk meminimalisir dampak pandemi bagi desa wisata AlasSumur, konsep wisata digital yang dicanangkan Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif pada masa pandemi dapat dilakukan melalui media sosial, salah satunya yaitu Instagram. Instagram banyak digunakan sebagai media promosi namun pemanfaatan itu banyak tidak disadari masyarakat desa wisata AlasSumur, Kec.Pujer,  Kab.Probolinggo, hal ini terlihat dari belum adanya sosial media yang secara khusus dikelola sebagai media promosi.

The fallacy of 'scientific elections' in the COVID-era: exploring the challenges of managing the 2020-2021 elections in Uganda
Authors: Sempijja Norman , Brito Paula Mora
Published: June 2022

COVID-19 broke out in the period that Uganda was due to have presidential and parliamentary elections, posing a very precarious human security challenge. The ruling party (National Resistance Movement; NRM) faced the challenge of passing power to the Speaker of parliament if elections were not to be held. To mitigate the public health challenges and maintain power, the government acquiesced to an election process without public campaigns. Instead, campaigns were to be held over the radio, TV, and social media in what came to be known as 'scientific elections.' However, in a country hamstrung by massive political and bureaucratic corruption and an entrenched regime that uses violence against opponents, little attention was paid to the fairness of the process, especially in terms of access to media resources by the opposition. Conversely, as elections are about crowds and showmanship, the Ugandan Electoral Commission struggled with the ever-evolving electoral campaign process, especially as large spontaneous crowds sprang up on the campaign trail of the political candidates. The opposition needs a large crowd for legitimacy and a show of popularity. To mitigate this, the ruling party used violence against opposition members as an excuse to enforce standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the prevention of COVID-19, yet its candidates were left to gather crowds. This radicalized some of the opposition that used media outlets to call for violence and ethnic cleansing. This qualitative study delves into the extent to which the 'scientific elections' process was designed to produce a fair outcome of the 2021 elections in Uganda. This study uses the rational choice theory to explore the calculations of different stakeholders. The study relies on secondary data, especially available in media outlets, but also primary data through reports and social media and speeches of key figures in the political landscape in Uganda. The study finds that the Independent Electoral Commission was caught between two highly sophisticated opponents and did not have the capacity and agency to enforce the rules in the political game. In the end, the key facets of the 'scientific elections' process were found wanting and did not produce a fair outcome of the 2021 elections in Uganda.
Policy diffusion in federal systems during a state of emergency: diffusion of COVID-19 statewide lockdown policies across the United States
Authors: Elhadad Sharon , Sommer Udi
Published: June 2022

This paper develops a unified model of policy diffusion to analyze the speed of adoption of statewide lockdown policies within a federal system during the COVID-19 pandemic. The modified unified model was built to improve our understanding of policy diffusion in contexts where existing models fall short. The authors highlight three main policy diffusion channels: regional, vertical, and internal. The paper shows the empirical test of the model across US states and finds that vertical effects, such as higher approval ratings for President Donald Trump, as well as a comparatively high proportion of COVID-19 federal funding support, bear a strong positive association with the speed of statewide lockdown adoption policies. In addition, certain internal effects are also important - higher governor approval ratings are positively associated with the speed of statewide lockdown adoption policies, as are state and local spending, democratic state governments, and population awareness of the virus. However, other internal factors, such as the stringency of statewide lockdown policies and the relative proportion of COVID-19 deaths in a state, were minimally associated with the speed of lockdown policy adoption. Surprisingly, unlike past studies, horizontal regional effects did not play a significant role in the presented analysis - the speed of adoption of lockdown policies by neighboring states bears no association with the speed of policy adoption of statewide lockdowns. Overall, the results suggest a strong influence of political factors on the speed of statewide lockdown adoption policies in the US.

Published: June 2022

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the early outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) with a bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) Y configuration graft to achieve total arterial myocardial revascularization. Materials and Methods: From March 2018 to March 2020 total 30 cases of off pump CABG surgery using LIMA RIMA Y sequential grafts to achieve total arterial myocardial revascularization. Comparisons between LIMA + SVG and BIMA Y grafts were not made here. Result: The average age of the patients was 43.51±2.58 years. Most of them were male (93.34%). A total of 28 (93.34%) cases had triple-vessel disease. Double-vessel disease was found in 2 (6.66%) cases. The skeletonization skill was used to harvest the two IMAs and then the free right internal mammary artery was anastomosed end-to-side to the in situ left internal mammary artery to composite a Y configuration graft. Off-pump and sequential anastomosis methods were used to perform coronary artery bypass surgery for the patients. Graft patency was assessed by doing CT angiogram. All distal and proximal Y anastomoses were patent at 1 year follow up. There were no perioperative deaths. Conclusion: OPCABG by using LIMA RIMA Y graft is an effective option for total arterial revascularization and avoid surgical complications regarding the ascending aorta manupulation.

Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries (c-TGA) is an anomaly with atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance where left atrium connects to right ventricle and right atrium to left ventricle. However in this case of double inversion, aorta carries saturated blood and pulmonary artery carries venous blood. So, normal physiological circulation is maintained. Our patient, a 38-years-old Bangladeshi male presented with palpitation, dizziness and effort intolerance (NYHAII) during exertion since childhood, which has recently become much worse. However, he had no history of central cyanosis, chest pain or syncope. We diagnosed him as a case of Corrected TGA and second-degree AV block with intermittent complete heart block. A Dual chamber permanent Pacemaker was inserted without any complications. No invasive treatment including corrective surgery was performed because patient’s cardiac function was almost normal. Patient became totally asymptomatic after pacemaker implantation

Published: June 2022

The study was undertaken to isolate and identify the bacteria from the gut of honey bees and to investigate their antibiotic sensitivity. A total 35 honey bees were collected from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University and Curzon Hall area of Dhaka city. This study was conducted to identify the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria based on the morphological features using microscope. In this study, four species of honey bees were identified, of which, Apis dorsata was the most dominant (31.43%) species and followed by 17.14% for Apis cerana and 2.86% for Apis mellifera and Apis florea, respectively. In total, five gram-positive bacteria genera including Lactobacillus sp. (37.5%), Streptococcus sp. (9.38%), Staphylococcus sp. (21.88%), Enterococcus sp. (6.25%), and Clostridium sp. (9.38%); and two gram-negative bacteria i.e., Pseudomonas sp. (3.13%), and Enterobacter sp. (12.5%) were detected. Gram-positive bacteria were the most dominant at the honey bee gut in two sites, while bacteria did not detect in A. dorsata gut which was collected from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University. However, five types of bacteria were isolated from the gut of A. dorsata collected from Curzon Hall area. In total, the highest varieties (6 out of 7) and number of isolates (15) were found from A. florea. Whereas, the highest number of bacteria was isolated from A. florea (12) for Curzon Hall area, and A. cerana (6) for Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University. In antibiotic susceptibility test, the isolated Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp. and Enterococcus sp. were sensitive to the majority of the antibiotics. However, the isolated Lactobacilllus sp., Clostridium sp., Enterobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were resistant to the majority of antibiotics. The results show that the presence or absence of bacterium in honey bees gut was an indicator for their overall health.

Madrasah educational institutions in addition to teaching subjects related to Islamic religious knowledge, also teach general science subjects. Both subjects are taught partially. This kind of learning process causes the erosion of Islamic characteristics as the main feature of madrasas. Efforts to integrate religious knowledge into general knowledge in the learning process in madrasas have become a hot issue in several countries. The realization of integrative learning requires the main supporting component, namely teaching materials. The teaching material that most determines how a learning process is carried out is lesson plans. This article was written to convey ideas about the preparation of an integrative lesson plan for general science and religious science. This idea was proposed as an effort to overcome the obstacles in integrating religious knowledge during the general science learning process in madrasas. Learning objectives are the most crucial element in integrative lesson plans. The development of learning objectives formulated in the curriculum is carried out by incorporating religious knowledge and or moral values that are in accordance with the related general science material. The next essential elements of RPP that must be integrated into religious knowledge are learning materials, learning activities, learning resources, and assessment of learning outcomes. The integration of religious knowledge in the five essential components of the lesson plan is believed to be able to realize learning designs with Islamic characteristics.

Este estudo buscou a partir de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, observar quais medidas de biossegurança estão sendo tomadas pela classe odontológica para o controle de infecção após surgimento da pandemia da Covid-19. A busca de artigos foi realizada entre os meses de novembro de 2021 até maio de 2022, nas bases de dados bibliográficas SCIELO (Scientific Eletronic Library Online), LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde) e PUBMED (National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health dos EUA) por meio dos descritores biossegurança, Covid-19, coronavírus e odontologia. De um total de 76 artigos encontrados com estes descritores, teve-se 37 artigos excluídos após leitura do título e resumo e 34 após leitura do texto na íntegra, sendo selecionados 5 estudos para esta revisão. Foi possível observar que em todos os âmbitos de atendimento odontológico, até mesmo nas instituições de ensino, reavaliou-se a importância da manutenção dos procedimentos de biossegurança, com a progressiva retomada dos atendimentos presenciais, de forma que esta figurasse como uma palavra de ordem em todos os cenários destacados. Conclui-se, enfatizando que os estudos demonstram que houve uma preocupação mediante a prevenção da Covid-19, na qual a biossegurança representa o principal meio para garantia da saúde dos pacientes e dos profissionais.

O Brasil é o quarto maior produtor mundial de produtos cerâmicos, sendo a grande quantidade de matéria-prima e a evolução tecnológica os principais responsáveis pelo avanço das indústrias no país. A inalação de partículas de poeira e fumaça podem depositar-se nas vias aéreas, e interferir nos mecanismos de defesa destas e do pulmão, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de multiplas doenças do aparelho respiratório. Para manter-se limpo e saudável, o trato respiratório dispõe de um efetivo mecanismo de defesa: o “transporte mucociliar”. O trabalho exercido em industrias de cerâmicas está entre as atividades humanas capazes de alterá-lo. Diversos métodos possibilitam a análise do transporte mucociliar, sendo um deles o teste de tempo de trânsito de sacarina (TTS). Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a transportabilidade mucociliar nasal em trabalhadores de cerâmicas da região do Pontal do Paranapanema. Refere-se a um estudo analítico, transversal com abordagem quantitativa. Serão incluídos neste estudo trabalhadores de indústrias de cerâmica especializadas na fabricação de tijolos. Para a análise dos resultados será confeccionado um banco de dados eletrônico. Os valores serão testados pela normalidade de Kolmogorov-Smirnov e em caso de distribuição normal paramétrica será realizada a Análise de variância ANOVA. Será utilizado o teste de Kruskal-Wallis, para os casos de distribuição não norma e não paramétrica, sendo os valores significativos referentes a p<0,05.

Objetivo: Analisar o uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados prescritos a idosos em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva. Metodologia: Estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal e retrospectivo. Foi realizado por meio de análise de prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes com mais de 60 anos, em uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados em idosos com ação no sistema nervoso central. Foram coletados dados clínicos e sóciodemográficos, bem como dados referentes ao uso destes medicamentos (princípio ativo, classe, tempo de tratamento, indicação clínica e reações adversas). Resultados: As classes terapêuticas mais prescritas foram os benzodiazepínicos, antipsicóticos e hipnóticos. Dentre os usos, 7,6% não tiveram justificativa clínica, e as demais justificativas incluíram conciliação medicamentosa, delirium hiperativo, desmame de sedação e insônia como as mais frequentes. Reações adversas como rebaixamento de nível de consciência, sonolência diurna, constipação, confusão mental, e outras foram observadas. Os resultados obtidos estão de acordo com os resultados esperados no que se refere à possibilidade de contribuição para discussão sobre o panorama atual do uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados a idosos em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva e possíveis perspectivas e alternativas terapêuticas. Conclusão: É importante ressaltar a importância do monitoramento do uso destes medicamentos quando seu uso for inevitável, bem como evitar ou reduzir sua prescrição, associando outras terapias com menor risco, tendo em vista os potenciais efeitos nocivos dos medicamentos inapropriados.

One of the most pressing issues in the Mirzaarik Canal is the study of the distribution and ecological groups of hydrobionts in biotopes. As a result of our research in the Mirzaariq canal, we found 16 species of hydrobionts. From them we learned that 6 species of bivalve mollusks, 8 species of gastropod mollusks, 1 species of shrimp and 1 species of leeches were distributed. The Mirzaariq canal differs from the middle-flowing canals of the Zarafshan River in the number of species, which can be explained by the fact that the canal was built a long time ago.
