Abstract
Background: Provision of services in line with the wishes and needs of patients is central to a human health care system .The hospital market has today as changed from a seller's market to a buyer's market and there is a need to improve the quality in the health care delivery. Client satisfaction is a key determinant of quality of care provided in health care centers.
Objectives: To determine the client satisfaction among the patients attending tertiary care centers in Mangalore.
Materials and Methodology: The study was a cross sectional study which was conducted among the clients attending five teaching hospitals in Mangalore. With 60% of client satisfaction obtained in our pilot study, the sample size was 384 and adding 20% for dropouts the total sample size came up to 462.The clients were selected randomly from each hospital. A pretested Proforma was used outside the hospital with strict confidentiality.
Results: In our study we found that,87.6% of the clients felt that the clinic hours at health facility were adequate,79.3% felt health care was easily accessible,89.2% were happy with hygiene and comfort of waiting area. Average waiting time was 116mins.Only 45.4% could meet the same service provider in follow up visit and only 51.5% availed similar services as in the first visit in the follow up. Satisfaction with provider's skill and ability was seen in 82.5% of the clients. Only 69.2% of the clients were satisfied with the cost of services available.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that waiting time was a major concern for the client's satisfaction.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background: UNICEF, WHO and WABA, along with the scientific community, strongly recommend initiating breastfeeding within a half-hour of birth. Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries. Every newborn, when placed on her mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find her mother's breast all on her own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the 'Breast Crawl'.
Materials and Methods: An experimental approach with one group pre-test post test design was used for the study. The sample comprises of 60 nursing students who meets inclusion criteria were selected using Random sampling technique.pre test was conducted with structured knowledge questionnaire ,followed by administered the video assisted teaching programme on breast crawl. Post test was conducted after 7 days of intervention by using same tool
Result: The collected data were analyzed using descriptive & inferential statistics The findings of the data showed that the mean post test knowledge of subjects were significantly higher than their mean pre test knowledge scores after the administration of video assisted teaching. ('t' value 14.93, P> 0.05).No association was found
Conclusion: A baby is born with many instinctive abilities which enable her to perform the Breast Crawl. Hence video assisted teaching is very essential and beneficial in nursing field to educate nursing students.

Abstract
Objective: The objectives of the study were to assess the stress of early adolescents and to describe the role perceptions of mothers and teachers in addressing adolescent stress.
Materials and Methods: This quantitative descriptive survey was conducted in two phases in Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala. Data were collected from early adolescent children (959), their teachers (61) and mothers (136). In the first phase, level of stress and source of stress among early adolescent children and teachers' role perception in addressing adolescent stress were measured. In the second phase, role perception in addressing their adolescent's stress was assessed among mothers of adolescents with high stress. Result: A total of 97 (10.1%) adolescents had severe stress. Majority of adolescents have cited mothers' and fathers' parenting role as their major stressor (56.5% and 53.5% respectively). Mothers reported that over watching of television is a major cause of lack of interest in studies and that is the main reason for stress at home. 37.7% of the teachers felt that school is giving a lot of academic stress to the child.
Conclusion: The study finding calls for collective actions of student-teacher-parent associations to reduce stress of adolescents.
RARE VARIATION IN THE ORIGIN OF LEFT TESTICULAR ARTERY FROM LEFT EXTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY : A CASE REPORT
Authors: R. Huban Thomas , C. Prasanna L , Kumar Vivek , D'souza Antony Sylvan 
Published: April 2020

AbstractTesticular artery usually arises from the antero-lateral part of the abdominal aorta below the origin of the renal arteries. Very rarely variations in the origin of the testicular arteries were observed. During routine dissection for undergraduate medical students, an abnormal origin and course of the left side testicular artery was detected in a 55-year-old male cadaver. On the left side, testicular artery arose from the external iliac artery half way before its entry into front of the thigh. Later it runs in the inguinal canal to reach the testis. In contrast, right side testicular artery has normal origin and course. Such variations in the origin and course of the testicular artery are important in surgical and diagnostic interventions to avoid diagnostic and surgical errors to prevent hazardous complications like testicular hypoperfusion and atrophy.

Published: April 2020

AbstractIntraorbital foreign bodies often present a confusing clinical picture and managing them remains a challenging experience to the oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Wooden foreign bodies are notorious for remaining quiescent for a long time, before presenting with a variety of complications. The wound of entry may often be small and self-sealing. Wooden foreign bodies also show a propensity to break during attempted removal. Intraorbital wood is often not detected by standard diagnostic tests like the computed tomography scan, adding to the diagnostic dilemma. A retained foreign body can give rise to serious complications, the most devastating of which is loss of the eye. This interventional case report of an unusual case of a wooden intraorbital foreign body reviews the clinical features, radiological appearance and surgical management. Details of ocular history, preoperative ocular examination findings including visual acuity, computed tomography findings were noted. Early surgical exploration was carried out with blunt dissection and careful hemostasis. Thus the foreign body extraction greatly influenced the visual prognosis and final outcome of the patient.

Published: April 2020

Significance
The response and self-organization of amorphous matter to externally imposed stresses or deformation is of interest in a variety of contexts. In particular, cyclic-shear deformation has been employed, in computer simulations and experiments, to probe the emergence of irreversibility in colloidal suspensions, yielding and annealing of glasses, jamming, memory formation, etc. We investigate soft-sphere assemblies computationally to obtain a comprehensive understanding of their self-organization and response over a wide range of densities and deformation amplitudes. We find a rich diversity of behaviors and transitions, and obtain a unified phase diagram that exhibits reversible and irreversible regimes and transitions among them that embody yielding, jamming, unjamming, and shear jamming phenomena.
Discretizations of the generalized AKNS scheme
Authors: Doikou Anastasia , Sklaveniti Spyridoula 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
We consider space discretizations of the matrix Zakharov–Shabat AKNS scheme, in particular the discrete matrix non-linear Scrhrödinger (DNLS) model, and the matrix generalization of the Ablowitz–Ladik (AL) model, which is the more widely acknowledged discretization. We focus on the derivation of solutions via local Darboux transforms for both discretizations, and we derive novel solutions via generic solutions of the associated discrete linear equations. The continuum analogue is also discussed, and as an example we identify solutions of the matrix NLS equation in terms of the heat kernel. In this frame we also derive a discretization of the Burgers equation via the analogue of the Cole-Hopf transform. Using the basic Darboux transforms for each scheme we identify both matrix DNLS-like and AL hierarchies, i.e. we extract the associated Lax pairs, via the dressing process. We also discuss the global Darboux transform, which is the discrete analogue of the integral transform, through the discrete Gelfand–Levitan–Marchenko (GLM) equation. The derivation of the discrete matrix GLM equation and associated solutions are also presented together with explicit linearizations. Particular emphasis is given in the discretization schemes, i.e. forward/backward in the discrete matrix DNLS scheme versus symmetric in the discrete matrix AL model.

Authors: Syah R F , Hidayat P 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Alang-alang is an invasive weed species that can grow out of control and harm other plants. The weed control methods commonly applied are burning, cutting, and spraying with herbicides. There is an insect causing alang-alang gall found in Java, namely Orseolia javanica Kieffer & van Leeuwen-Reijnvaan (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) or known as the alang–alang gall midge. This study was aimed at determining the effects of the alang–alang cutting practice on rice field bunds to the growth of alang–alang galls. The study was done in Cianjur District, West Java. There were several steps done in this study including the preparation of field sites, daily observation of the gall growth, and observation on the duration of the gall midge for emerging. The length of the alang-alang gall on the uncut alang-alang was significantly higher than on the cut alang-alang, while the diameter of the galls was not significantly different. The difference in the length of the galls is believed was due to the different of light exposures. The duration of the emerging time for the alang-alang gall midge was shorter on the cut than the uncut alang-alang which was might be caused by changes in micro climate such as the more sunlight exposures and higher temperature on the habitat. This study suggests that the alangalang cutting practice can shorten the life cycle of the alang–alang gall midge and might have an impact on the biological control effectiveness.

Abstract
Click beetles (Family Elateridae) are the largest family of beetles (Order Coleoptera) in superfamily Elateroidea that play an important role in the ecosystem, either as herbivores, predators and rhizophag. Land-use change can have a negative effect on diversity and abundance of click beetles. The aim of this research was to study the diversity and species composition of click beetles at different land-use types in Jambi. This research was carried out in Harapan Rainforest landscape that consists of 4 different land-use, i.e forest, jungle rubber, rubber plantation, and oil palm plantation. Click beetles were collected by fogging method in the morning and fogger directed toward the higher canopy for 20 min. The insect was collected in 16 traps that were installed under plant canopy, then the sample was sorted and identified in the laboratory. In a total of 2.042 individuals click beetles were collected, belonging to 7 subfamilies, 23 genera, and 59 morphospecies. Species richness and abundance of click beetles were higher in forest systems, while the lowest species richness was found in oil palm plantation and the lowest abundance was found in rubber plantation. Common click beetles species found in each land-use have consisted of morphospecies Melanoxanthus sp.01 (Elaterinae: Melanoxanthus). This research showed that different land-use types in Harapan Rainforest influenced the diversity, abundance, and species composition of click beetles. In conclusion, that habitat transformation has an impact on the loss of click beetles communities.

Published: April 2020

Abstract

Fusarium sp. has been known as a pathogenic agent causing fruit rots in chili and potentially decrease annual chili production rates. One plant potentially utilized for controlling Fusarium is purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). Purple sweet potato contain active compounds in the form of flavonoids, which has been previously revealed to perform antifungal activity. This study aimed to determine antifungal activity of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaves as a bio fungicide for inhibiting the growth of Fusarium sp.-caused chili fruit rots. This work was conducted by testing the ethanol-extracted purple sweet potato leaves extracts against Fusarium sp. with in vitro assays. It was conducted by applying disc-diffusion method to observe the antifungal activity against Fusarium sp. This study showed inhibitory ability of the leaves extract against the growth of Fusarium sp. to range between 46.9 to 89.2%. Besides, in vitro treatment of the leaves extract at 40% concentration was discovered to significantly inhibit the incubation time of Fusarium sp. fruit rot compared to other treatment groups. These findings suggested the leaves extract at 40% concentration to be a potential bio fungicide for controlling Fusarium fruit rots on chili.

Abstract
Tomato is an important horticulture commodity in Indonesia. Alternaria Blight caused by Alternaria solani Ell. & Mart. is an important disease on tomato. Biological control using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a promising technique for controlling the disease. One potential source of PGPR is a natural ecosystem area such as forest. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of 5 PGPR isolated from Gunung Ciremai National Park forest, i.e. AKBR, AKS, C71, KS1, and S2 for controlling Alternaria blight disease on tomato and to assess their effects on plant growth. PGPR was applied by seed coating before planting and bacterial suspension watering on the soils. The research showed that all tested PGPR isolates could delay incubation periods and inhibit the development of blight disease. AKBR and C71 isolates had the highest effectiveness in suppressing A. solani infection with effectiveness rate 68.08% and 62.01% respectively. All tested PGPR isolates increased seed germination and tomato seedling growth. Molecular identification using PCR, followed by sequencing resulted that C71 isolates has 99.8% homology with Lysinibacillus fusiformis (Accession Number: KY910256.1)

AbstractMosaic and leaf curl diseases caused by multiple infections of viruses are the most important diseases of chili pepper. Bioactive compounds that are able to improve plant tolerance toward virus infections is promisingly developed for plant protection in organic chili cultivation. The potential of fermentation liquids from enrichment of SWCE (water extract of shrimp waste compost) with shrimp paste (TS, TSN, and TSNJK) that contains amino acids to control mosaic and leaf curl diseases and its aphid vector was demonstrated in a naturally infested curly red chili (Capsicum annuum). Fermentation liquids was sprayed weekly at 2 concentrations on pottedC. annumgrowing in an aphid-infested field. Treatment with all 3 fermentation products significantly reduced disease progression. Disease suppression was demonstrated following spraying at concentration as low as 0.2% and treatment with a higher concentration (2.0%) resulted in a higher suppression. Colonization ofAphis gossypiiwas significantly reduced on plants treated with fermentation liquids. The compost extract containing amino acids showed a remarkable potential to develop into an effective biostimulant for protection from virus disease and its insect vector,Aphis gossypii.

Abstract

Pometia pinnata (Matoa) is widely known for its use in traditional medicines and as fruit sources in Indonesia. Stem bark and leaves of Matoa are the most used parts. Each part contains secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, glycosides, and saponins. These compounds could act as reducing agents in the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. Our research attempts to compare the efficacy of aqueous extracts of Matoa leaf and stem bark in the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. We characterized products of silver nanoparticles using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope, and particle size analyzer to compare the biosynthesis between the two parts based on ratios of various concentrations of plant extract to silver nitrate (AgNO3). We found that the solution (extract and AgNO3) became darker as the concentration and reaction time increased. Increasing reaction time also caused an increase in absorption peak intensity due to the reduction process of silver ions. The use of leaf and stem bark for biosynthesis resulted in different shapes and sizes of silver nanoparticles; the use of leaves and stem bark resulted in sphere-shaped silver nanoparticles, whereas the use of aqueous leaf extracts triangle-shaped silver nanoparticles formed.

Abstract
Various benefits have been attributed to chitosan in agriculture. This research is aimed at identifying the optimal concentration of chitosan to increase vegetative growth of Amaranthus hybridus L. (green amaranth) and also to determine the effectiveness of chitosan to enable A. hybridus cope with drought stress by acting as an antitranspirant agent. The concentrations of chitosan used to amend the growing medium were 0, 10, 30, 50 and 70 ppm. Results showed that chitosan significantly increased the height of A. hybridus by up to 19.59 % and also significantly increased the number of leaves at 10 ppm. However, chitosan treatment had no effect on chlorophyll content and fresh or dry weight although dosage response was highest at 10 ppm. In addition, chitosan reduced the transpiration rate by 36.66–66.26 %. Therefore, chitosan treatment could be an alternative way to reduce drought stress.
