Mucormycosis is a dangerous fungal disease caused by a group of moulds identified as mucormycetes.Mucormycosis is more commonly observed in patients with underlying medical conditions such as; diabeticacidosis, acute leukemia and patients under corticosteroids or cytotoxic drugs. Depending on the patient’s,mortality rates can be up to 100%. Initial diagnosis and rapid treatment can decrease the mortality and morbidityof this dangerous fungal disease.
ACER models of writing: Changing the assessment mindset
Authors: Mendelovits Juliette , Nixon Judy
Published: August 2022

This presentation outlines different models of writing assessment that have a proven track record in various programs delivered by ACER. These models include holistic scoring, and partial analytical scoring on a number of criteria. The writing prompts for these models assume extended pieces of writing. The presentation will also introduce a new and alternative model of writing assessment that ACER has implemented in several large-scale assessments. This model is built on shorter pieces of writing from each student, designed to give more accurate and diverse insights into students’ proficiency in writing in a range of text types, within the constraints of limited assessment time. Each short piece is coded using a different marking scheme with customised criteria. The three models – holistic scoring, partial analytical scoring and customised criterion scoring – are designed for different assessment contexts, from high-stakes selection to formative use by classroom teachers.
CONTROL OVER PERSONS RELEASED ON PAROLE FROM PLACES OF DEPRIVATION OF LIBERTY: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE AND PROSPECTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN RUSSIA
Authors: Давыдова Ирина Александровна
Published: August 2022

В статье на основе анализа зарубежного законодательства и опыта постпенитенциарного контроля отдельных стран сделан вывод о необходимости дополнения перечня направлений деятельности уголовно-исполнительных инспекций по контролю за лицами, условно-досрочно освобожденными из мест лишения свободы, обеспечивающих социальную реинтеграцию этих лиц. Оценено влияние установленных запретов и надлежащего контроля за их соблюдением на поведение освобожденных досрочно лиц. Обращено внимание на необходимость правильной оценки судом всех обстоятельств, повлиявших на осужденного, нарушившего условия досрочного освобождения, при принятии решения о его отмене. В статье проанализированы факторы, которые следует учитывать при проведении программ реабилитации лиц, освобожденных из мест лишения свободы, для предупреждения рецидива. Акцентировано внимание на необходимости поддержания баланса между контролем за освобожденными и их поддержкой и консультированием. Внесены предложения по совершенствованию российского законодательства в данной области с учетом перспектив создания системы пробации.

Based on the analysis of foreign legislation and the experience of post-penitentiary control of particular countries, the article concludes that it is necessary to supplement the list of areas of activity of penitentiary inspections to control persons released on parole from places of deprivation of liberty, ensuring the social reintegration of these persons. The influence of the established prohibitions and proper control over their observance on the behavior of persons released on parole was assessed. Attention is drawn to the need for a correct assessment by the court of all the circumstances that affected the convict who violated the conditions of early release, when deciding to cancel it. The article analyzes the factors that should be taken into account when conducting rehabilitation programs for persons released from places of detention in order to prevent relapse. Attention is focused on the need to maintain a balance between control over the released and their support and counseling. Proposals have been made to improve Russian legislation in this area, taking into account the prospects for creating a probation system.

Social Interaction and Coping Models of Child Sexual Violence in Ponorogo
Authors: Rokamah Ridho , Uswatun Hanifa Irma Rumtianing , Mun'im Abdul
Published: August 2022

There has been an increase in cases of sexual violence against children in the Ponorogo Regency, some of which have been made public through social media. Due to the courage of both those who commit sexual violence and the victims, this issue makes for an exciting area of research using the interaction theory, the social factor theory, and the coping theory. This study aimed to analyze the interactions of social factors and parents' coping models of the victims and perpetrators of sexual violence. It employed a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings revealed that all victims and perpetrators of sexual violence have an honest relationship with their parents. As a result, this act of sexual violence occurs due to factors in the victim's personality being close to their parents. The social factors of victims, parents, and perpetrators related to education are diverse. This crime occurs at all levels of education because, as Muzaham argues, family education is an essential element of character development that has not been implemented. The fact that all victims and perpetrators are from Java indicates a cultural shift in Javanese society due to social changes. While the concept of family is good, it falls short in building character. Focused coping is the primary mode of coping in the model. Some parents use emotional coping in the beginning, but they eventually switch to a more focused approach

A REVIEW ON MECHANISM FOR MARKETING OF MINOR FOREST PRODUCE AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO ENHANCE TRIBAL ECONOMY
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Bharadwaj Vangara
Published: August 2022

Every individual or nation growth and development depends majorly on the livelihoods carried out by those individuals’ and the support provided to such livelihoods in all aspects. In India, as per Government of India estimates about 125 million and 112 million total tribal and rural tribal populations are there in 2020. In these, nearly 50 percent of the tribal population live in forest areas. The tribal communities who live in forest areas depend extensively on the resources of forest for livelihoods and income generation on Minor Forest Produce (MFP). With the enactments of PESA (Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 and the Forest Rights Act, 2006 the forest dwellers are legally authorized with the possession and governance of the MFP. But, they have been suffering with many problems to produce minor forest products like legal issues, permissions, support price, financial-aid, marketing, branding and selling. This paper contributes to elaborate the provisions made by the government to overcome the challenges facing by the forest dwellers regarding MFP through a centrally sponsored scheme ‘Mechanism for Marketing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support Price (MSP) & Development of Value Chain for MFP’. Started in 2013-14 with 10 Minor Forest Produce items covering 9 States impacting approximately 1 Lakhs tribal families the scheme is now expanded to 22 States covering 87 MFP items impacting 25 lakhs families. Total procurement has gone up from Rs. 30 crores in 2014-15 to Rs. 1870 crores in 2020-21.

Cheyne-Stokes breathing (CSB) is described by a cyclic variation in breathing with periods of central apneas or hypopneas alternating with periods of hypopneas in a gradual waxing and waning manner. It is usually seen in patients with congestive cardiac failure or neurologic disorders. We describe this rare case of idiopathic central sleep apnea coming in a periodic fashion presenting as CSB pattern without specific causes. Overnight polysomnography test showed central sleep apnea; but cardiac evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain could not find any cause of this sleep-disordered breathing. Idiopathic central sleep apnea usually presents with poor quality of sleep, but many of them easily misdiagnosed and do not get any proper treatment.

Neurogenic shock is a life-threatening condition mostly associated with cervical and high thoracic spine injury, whereas transverse myelitis leading to neurogenic shock is extremely rare. An 11-year-old boy was admitted to our center with Landry’s acute flaccid paralysis and urinary retention, which led the patient to severe respiratory distress. The test indicated a high level of protein and white blood cells in cerebrospinal fluid. He was diagnosed with transverse myelitis and then treated with methylprednisolone. The patient developed hypotension (63/45 mmHg), bradycardia (60 beats per minute), warm flushed skin, and decreased consciousness as a result of neurogenic shock. Fluid resuscitation, noradrenalin, and atropine were indicated, and the shock was well controlled. This is the first case of neurogenic shock due to transverse myelitis with Landry’s acute flaccid paralysis in a child we have experienced so far. It highlights that neurogenic shock should be considered in patients with acute transverse myelitis with Landry’s acute flaccid paralysis.
Investigation of Ultrasonic-Assisted Drilling (UAD) Parameters For Hole Making Of Ti-6Al-4V Using Taguchi Method
Authors: Amil Hamja Ali Hussin  , Shamsul Sarip  , Mohd Khairi Abu Husain
Published: August 2022

Ti-6Al-4V is widely used in high-tech industries due to its lightweight, high strength and corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, machining Ti-6Al-4V is very challenging given its low thermal conductivity. Ultrasonic Assisted Drilling (UAD) is one of the best machining techniques. In the manufacturing industry, hole-making is the final step before the end product is produced. The selection of parameters is crucial in obtaining accurate hole accuracy and a smooth surface finish. Cutting speed, feed rate, frequency, amplitude and tool material are important parameters in machining using UAD. Therefore, the optimisation of the combination of each of these parameters is pertinent in obtaining the best machining results. Screening parameters are widely used in optimising machining parameters. Taguchi is a statistical method that assists in optimising the experiments to be conducted. The expected findings from this study will facilitate the removal of insignificant parameters that could be used before proceeding to the actual runs. The impact of this study is to reduce costs, save time, as well as employ sustainable machining techniques.
Novel Boundary Conditions for Investigation of Environmental Wind Profile Induced due to Raised Terrains and Their Influence on Pedestrian Winds Authors
Authors: Siddharth Jena  , Ajay Gairola
Published: August 2022

In comparison to the terrains on planes, where wind follows a conventional profile. On interaction with a raised terrain like a hill or a mountain, the wind gets an added component of velocity in the vertical direction. This added vertical component gives air parcel a couple like moment, that causes the wind to twist. This twisted wind, alters the flow conditions, especially at the pedestrian level, and demands investigation. The authors in this research have developed a set of conditions, to recreate the complete 3D flow field of a twisted wind profile, on interaction with an isolated building using commercial CFD code FLUENT, to make it suitable for faster adoption by industry. The conditions are derived to ensure horizontal homogeneity in the domain. Lateral wind speed along altitude is applied in the computational domain to sustain the twist throughout the empty domain and subsequently with the structure within the domain. The results are validated with the wind tunel experiments of Tse et al. [5] for validation and comparison. The results suggest twisted wind alters pedestrian wind profile in comparison to conventional wind profile by shifting the high-pressure zones along the vertical twist angle, indicating lower intensity eddies in the wake on the structure, with possible negative effect on thermal comfort.

Published: August 2022

The research explored the impact of artisanal mining on the career development of adolescents at three selected schools in Imbizo District, Bulawayo Metropolitan Province. Interpretivism research philosophy was employed in the study, and a qualitative research method was used. The phenomenological research design was adopted for the study. The sample comprised fifteen school children aged between 14 to 20 years, and six teachers were selected from schools in Imbizo district in Bulawayo province, Zimbabwe, using purposive sampling. Due to COVID-19 regulations, interviews were telephonically, and focus group discussions were conducted online. Interviews were used to collect data from children, while focus group discussions were used to collect data from teachers. The findings revealed that causes of child involvement in artisanal mining include influence from society, poverty, drugs, adventure and the COVID-19 outbreak. The research findings revealed that child involvement in mining brought undesirable behavioural traits such as anti-social behaviour, poor academic performance, health and safety risks and different forms of abuse. Strategies suggested by teachers to mitigate child involvement in illegal mining encompassed legalising the small-scale mines, life skills education, educational support to all vulnerable children, community awareness campaigns, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and government involvement. The children suggested that the government could help by providing them with basic needs like food and paying for their schools and stationery.

Ecological Footprint of Food Consumption in Ijebu Ode, Nigeria
Authors: Otto Edet , Sawyerr Henry , Opasola Olaniyi , Adiama Babatunde
Published: August 2022

A recent study establishes that since 1970, there has been an ecological gap between human needs and the planet's resources, with annual resource demand exceeding the bio-productivity of the planet. Specifically, humanity utilises equivalent of 1.75 earths to produce the ecological resources used, with half of this attributable to food consumption. The present work therefore seeks to provide an empirically-based insight into the environmental sustainability of the EF of food consumption in Ijebu Ode. A descriptive cross-sectional approach was used, and primary data were collected from 400 systemically sampled households via structured questionnaires and analysed descriptively using Microsoft Excel and differentially using mathematical models for calculating ecological footprints. Findings revealed that the household EF of food consumption in Ijebu Ode is 0.05gha per capita, with the footprint of cereal consumption (0.17gha; 37%) taking the major share, followed by meat with a footprint of 0.11gha (23.9%). As a result, it was concluded that Ijebu Ode has sustainable food consumption, which is necessary for its environmental sustainability. However, the sustenance of the former requires creating awareness of the need for sustainable consumption and prioritisation of integrated and population-wide policies and food intervention initiatives to encourage attitudinal change in favour of sustainable food consumption while fostering sustainable food production strategies amidst current environmental realities.
Revealing the Drag Instability in One-fluid Nonideal Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of a 1D Isothermal C-shock
Authors: Gu Pin-Gao , Chen Che-Yu , Shen Emma , Yen Chien-Chang , Lin Min-Kai
Published: August 2022

C-type shocks are believed to be ubiquitous in turbulent molecular clouds thanks to ambipolar diffusion. We investigate whether the drag instability in 1D isothermal C-shocks, inferred from the local linear theory of Gu & Chen, can appear in nonideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Two C-shock models (with narrow and broad steady-state shock widths) are considered to represent the typical environment of star-forming clouds. The ionization-recombination equilibrium is adopted for the one-fluid approach. In the 1D simulation, the inflow gas is continuously perturbed by a sinusoidal density fluctuation with a constant frequency. The perturbations clearly grow after entering the C-shock region until they start being damped at the transition to the post-shock region. We show that the profiles of a predominant Fourier mode extracted locally from the simulated growing perturbation match those of the growing mode derived from the linear analysis. Moreover, the local growth rate and wave frequency derived from the predominant mode generally agree with those from the linear theory. Therefore, we confirm the presence of the drag instability in simulated 1D isothermal C-shocks. We also explore the nonlinear behavior of the instability by imposing larger-amplitude perturbations to the simulation. We find that the drag instability is subject to wave steepening, leading to saturated perturbation growth. Issues concerning local analysis, nonlinear effects, one-fluid approach, and astrophysical applications are discussed.
A Physical Model for the UV/Optical Power Spectra of AGN
Authors: Panagiotou Christos , Papadakis Iossif , Kara Erin , Kammoun Elias , Dovčiak Michal
Published: August 2022

The UV/optical variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) has long been thought to be driven by the X-ray illumination of the accretion disk. However, recent multiwavelength campaigns of nearby Seyfert galaxies seem to challenge this paradigm, with an apparent discrepancy between observations and the underlying theory. In order to further probe the connection between the UV/optical and X-ray variability in AGN, we developed a physical model to reproduce the UV/optical power spectral densities (PSDs) of AGN assuming the thermal reprocessing of the X-rays in the disk. This model offers a novel way to probe the innermost regions of AGN. We use our model to study the variability of NGC 5548, and we infer that the X-ray and UV/optical PSDs as well as the interband UV/optical time lags are all well reproduced. We also derive constraints on the source physical parameters, such as the X-ray corona height and the accretion rate. Our results suggest that X-ray disk reprocessing accounts for the full variability properties of this AGN, within the considered timescales. Using earlier data of NGC 5548, we also show that our model can reproduce its PSD in different epochs, establishing the feasibility of using PSD modeling to investigate the time evolution of a source.

Contact binary star systems represent the long-lived penultimate phase of binary evolution. Population statistics of their physical parameters inform an understanding of binary evolutionary pathways and end products. We use light curves and new optical spectroscopy to conduct a pilot study of ten (near) contact systems in the long-period (P > 0.5 days) tail of close binaries in the Kepler field. We use PHOEBE light-curve models to compute Bayesian probabilities on five principal system parameters. Mass ratios and third-light contributions measured from spectra agree well with those inferred from the light curves. Pilot study systems have extreme mass ratios q < 0.32. Most are triples. Analysis of the unbiased sample of 783 0.15 d < P < 2 days (near) contact binaries results in 178 probable contact systems, 114 probable detached systems, and 491 ambiguous systems for which we report best-fitting and 16th-/50th-/84th-percentile parameters. Contact systems are rare at periods P > 0.5 days, as are systems with q > 0.8. There exists an empirical mass ratio lower limit

≈ 0.05–0.15 below which contact systems are absent, supporting a new set of theoretical predictions obtained by modeling the evolution of contact systems under the constraints of mass and angular momentum conservation. Premerger systems should lie at long periods and near this mass ratio lower limit, which rises from q = 0.044 for P = 0.74 days to q = 0.15 at P = 2.0 days. These findings support a scenario whereby nuclear evolution of the primary (more massive) star drives mass transfer to the primary, thus moving systems toward extreme q and larger P until the onset of the Darwin instability at

A CO Survey of the Entire Northern Sky
Authors: Dame T. M. , Thaddeus P.
Published: August 2022

We present a very large extension of the Galactic plane CO survey of Dame et al. to the entire northern sky (δ > −17°). The extension was carried out with the same telescope as was used for the plane survey, the CfA 1.2 m, and perfectly meshes with its irregular boundaries in latitude. A total of 382,202 CO(1–0) spectra uniformly sample the high-latitude sky with a true-angle spacing of 0.°25 or better. The final reduced and folded spectra have a uniform sensitivity of 0.18 K in 0.65 km s−1 channels and provide a velocity coverage of ±47.1 km s−1. We describe the observational techniques and the data reduction and provide various summary maps of the spatial and velocity distributions of CO emission over the northern sky, and a catalog of the molecular clouds we found there. We also describe the CO spectral line data cubes that we have made available online.

BACKGROUND: Dental disease is a significant public health problem. Various efforts have been made to maintain oral health by utilizing natural ingredients from plants. One of the natural ingredients often used among the community is Vegetable Starfruit Juice (Averrhoa bilimbi) and Rosella Tea. AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of Starfruit and rosella tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa L) on the Inhibition of Dental Plaque Formation. METHODS: Design this research is an experimental study with a post-test design only. The research was conducted in Gampong Batoh, Lueng Bata District, Banda Aceh City, from June 26 to October 04, 2021. The study population was the community of Gampong Batoh, Banda Aceh City. The sample in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The sample in this study met the criteria and was willing to assist in implementing the research by signing the informed consent. The number of research samples was 40 people. RESULTS: The results showed a significant difference in the effectiveness of Starfruit juice and rosella tea on the inhibition of plaque formation based on time duration (p < 0.05). The group that rinsed with rosella tea solution had more effective inhibition than the group that rinsed with vegetable Starfruit juice solution (p < 0.05). Vegetable Starfruit (A. bilimbi) and Rosella Tea contain bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that can act as antibacterial agents in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. CONCLUSION: Vegetable Starfruit Juice (A. bilimbi) and Rosella Tea (H. sabdariffa L) effectively inhibit the formation of dental plaque.

INTRODUCTION: Maternal mortality is still a problem in Indonesia. The current maternal mortality rate is 305 per 100.000 live births and is still far from the SDGs target, which is 70 per 100.000 live births in 2030. The direct causes of maternal death are related to maternal health conditions since pregnancy, while the indirect causes are related to social, economic conditions, behavior, community culture, and lifestyle. The purpose of this study was to develop a behavioral model based on transcultural care (sunrise model) and precede in caring for pregnant women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is an observational study, cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from March to October 2021. The population in this study were all pregnant women who visited with a sample of several pregnant women in the working area of the Public Health Center of the Surabaya Health Service, Indonesia. The sample was determined using the rule of thumb formula, the sample size was 288 respondents and was selected by simple random sampling. The independent variables are Transcultural Care (technological factors, religion and philosophy of life, social and family attachments, cultural values and lifestyle, regulations and policies, economy, and education) and Precede (predisposing factors, supporting factors, and reinforcing factors). Inferential analysis was performed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. Path analysis model was performed on all latent variables, external model and internal model. RESULTS: Showed that the regularity of antenatal care was influenced by the factors of technology, religion and philosophy of life, social and family attachments, regulations and policies, education and the reinforcing factors. The accuracy of taking medication or vitamins in pregnant women was influenced by social and family attachments, cultural values and lifestyles, regulations and policies, economics, and the predisposing factors, enabling factors and reinfording factors. Diet in pregnant women was influenced by the factors of technology, social and family attachments, regulations and policies, predisposing factors, enabling factors and reinforcing factors. Monitoring of fetal movement in pregnant women was influenced by technological factors, predisposing factors and enabling factors. Activity patterns in pregnant women were influenced by the factors of religion and philosophy of life, cultural values and lifestyles, regulations and policies, education, enabling factors and reinforcing factors. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Transcultur Care and Preced Methods are proven to be effective in improving maternal health behavior in caring for pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Psychological distress is an emotional response characterized by various psychological symptoms, including depression and anxiety. Among medical students, psychological distress may derive from surrounding environment. Adaptability in learning new things, competitive situation, social issues, educational demands, fatigue, lack of support, as well as insufficient resting time are known contributing factors to the occurrence of psychological distress. It has been known that psychological distress is common among medical students.

AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate the difference of psychological distress symptoms score among medical students in the 1st- and 3rd-year groups.

METHODS: This cross-sectional analytical study is a numerical comparative analysis involving 1st- and 3rd-year medical students of Universitas Sumatera Utara. 10 item Kessler Psychological Distress (K-10) questionnaire was used to assess psychological distress symptoms score. Comparison of psychological distress scores between first and third year medical students was carried out using independent t-test or Mann–Whitney.

RESULTS: Significant difference of psychological distress scores was found between the groups (p < 0.0010).

CONCLUSION: We found that 1st-year medical students exhibited more profound psychological distress compared to those in third year.
