The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of exercises modes on developing a small ball throwing skill in boys aged 8.
Materials and methods. The study participants were 21 boys aged 8, who were randomly divided into three groups of 7 people. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment.
The study examined the influence of the number of repetitions on the effectiveness of teaching boys aged 8 throwing a small ball at a target. A pedagogical experiment examined the influence of 6, 12, and 18 repetitions with a 60-second rest interval on the increase in the level of proficiency in exercises of boys aged 8. In the first group, the boys repeated the task 6 times with a rest interval of 60 s, in the second group – 12 times with a rest interval of 60 s, in the third group 18 times with a rest interval of 60 s. When teaching throwing exercises during the class, the study evaluated the level of proficiency by the alternative method (“performed”, “failed”) and calculated the probability of exercise performance (p = n/m, where n is the number of successful attempts, m is the total number of attempts).
In teaching boys aged 8, the method of algorithmic instructions was used. The next exercise started after three successful attempts. Throwing a ball at a vertical target was taught.
The study materials were processed by the IBM SPSS 20 statistical analysis software. During discriminant analysis, a prognostic model for group membership was created.
Results. Discriminant analysis made it possible to determine the impact of the number of repetitions on the effectiveness of developing the skills of throwing a small ball at a target; answer the question as to how significantly the modes of repetitions differ by the effectiveness of motor skills development, what class the object belongs to based on the values of discriminant variables.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis of group centroids, it was found that in boys aged 8, six repetitions of the exercise (6 sets one time with a rest interval of 60 s) significantly influence the increase in the level of proficiency in exercises during physical education lessons.
The results of group classification show that 85.7% of the original grouped observations were classified correctly.

Background: Periodontal disease is the infection and inflammation of the gums, bones, and tissues involved in teeth support, and it is one of the most common diseases affecting pet dogs. Essential oils have shown antimicrobial activity against bacteria causing periodontal disease; therefore, they are considered potential therapeutic agents. Objectives: The main objective was to formulate and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of a 0.2% chlorhexidine canine mouthwash with essential oils. Methods: Three microemulsion formulations were obtained by constructing a pseudo-ternary phase diagram using the phase titration method. Different surfactant agents were evaluated, and hydrogenated castor oil was selected as the emulsifier agent. The antimicrobial activity of oregano essential oil (Origanum vulgare), thyme essential oil (Thymus vulgaris), and the three formulations were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, and Escherichia coli. Results: Pure thyme and oregano essential oils showed higher antimicrobial activity than a 0,2% chlorhexidine solution. The formulations with essential oils plus chlorhexidine and chlorhexidine alone showed antimicrobial activity. The formulation containing only essential oils did not show antimicrobial activity. Conclusions: A canine mouthwash was formulated with chlorhexidine and thyme and oregano essential oil. Based on the evaluation of antimicrobial activity, two of the proposed formulations could be a therapeutic option to reduce the risk and prevent periodontal disease in canines.

Published: March 2021

Research aims: This research aimed to determine the impact of family structure on the cash flow sensitivity of cash (CFSC) in the manufacturing sector. It also investigates the indirect impact of busy directors as a moderating effect.Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on a sample of Indonesia’s manufacturing companies from 2013 to 2017, the researcher uses GLS regression models on this panel data calculated with robustness fit test at the firm’s level.Research findings: It indicated that family structure has a impact positively on cash flow sensitivity of cash and statistically significant. Meanwhile, the indirect impact of busy directors found to have a impact negatively and weakened on the relationship of family structure and CFSC, it also indiciated that quality of busy directors is an tool of corporate governance that is effectively to monitor of every family firm’s decisions.Theoretical contribution: This article enriches previous literature by justifying the impact of busy directors on the relation between every each of family’s firm decision and CFSC. Furthermore, it showed us a metric for agency problems that is the sensitivity of cash to corporate cash flows.Implication policy: Based on POJK regulations, the context of busy directors in this research refers to the roles and duties of the Board of Commissioners (BOC) which concurrently hold positions for other public companies.Research Limitation/Implication: The implications suggest that almost most of Indonesian family corporation are tend to expropriate minority by extracting rents through coporate cash flow sensitivity of cash behavior.

Background: The seroprevalence studies are conducted with the aim of estimating the extent of SARS CoV2 infection in any community. A cross sectional population based study was conducted in Srinagar district of Kashmir, India so as to provide relevant information on the proportion of people who have experienced a recent or past infection.Methods: An estimated sample size of 2400 was calculated based on anticipated seroprevalence of 20% and an absolute error of 2.5%. 20 clusters were selected using 2 stage cluster sampling. A set of questions on a mobile based application i.e Epicollect 5 was used to collect information on various variables and 3-5 ml of venous blood was taken for Ig G antibody testing. Chemiluminiscent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) procedure using fully automated analyser by Abbott with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 99.6% was used to detect IgG antibodies against SARS COVID-2.Results: 2480 eligible individuals participated in the study. The overall seroprevalence of Ig G antibodies against SARS-CoV 2 in the current study was 40.6% (95% CI 38.7-42.6), with seroprevalence being significantly higher among females (44.7% as compared to 37.5%). Age standardized seroprevalence revealed that seroprevalence increased with the increasing age.Conclusions: The findings of Seroprevalence study may fail to reveal the true picture of covid-19 infection as there were certain participants who were positive for COVID on RTPCR but were IgG negative. Thus, the individual variation of immune response to the virus, role of mucosal Ig A antibodies and T cell mediated immunity cannot be ruled out.
Post-traumatic stress disorder and resilience among flood affected farmers of Kerala, India
Authors: Jose Manu , Fenn Jessy 
Published: March 2021

Background: In mid-August 2018, Kerala witnessed the worst floods since 1924 due to abnormally high rainfall and simultaneous release of water from its dams, resulting in extreme flooding in 13 of the 14 districts in the State. The large-scale flooding impacted millions of people and caused nearly 400 deaths as well as immense damage to property. This was followed by flooding yet again in August 2019, thereby triggering further damage. Farmers whose crops got completely wiped out were one group that were severely affected. This study investigated the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in farmers and also checked the relationship between PTSD and resilience. Methods: The sample consisted of 100 farmers from the Alappuzha and Pattanamtitta districts of Kerala which were severely affected by the flood. Data was collected through the PTSD-8, Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) along with sociodemographic data and flood related information.Results: 74% of the farmers scored high on the test indicating the presence of PTSD. The farmers of interior Pathanamthitta had significantly higher incidence (84%) of PTSD than coastal Alappuzha farmers (66%). The level of damage due to the flood did not have significant correlation with PTSD. There was significant negative correlation between PTSD and resilience (r=-0.64).Conclusions: There was high incidence of PTSD among the farmers of central Kerala post the 2018 and 2019 floods and it was higher in interior Pathanamthitta than in coastal Alappuzha which is more used to the vagaries of the waters. Resilience helps to combat PTSD.

Published: March 2021

Industrial developments have brought many significant changes in various fields of life, especially agriculture and education. It seems that the transformation of the agricultural sector and fishpond farming in Medang Village, Glagah, Lamongan are affected by the catfish folklore that keep the people concerned for generations. This is a phenomenological research and the results are descriptive and qualitative. The data are described and interpreted hermeneutically. The results indicate that the catfish folklore contains a number of educational values that dynamically developed along with the people's beliefs about the folklore as a myth. This transformation of educational values includes: the value of ubudiyyah, the value of the struggle in the life; and the moral value. This transformation occurs through the intervention of many parties, both internal and external ones, such as the local government, the elders, the community leaders as well as educators. Other factors are technological development and the development of the fishery industry. This research suggests the stakeholders of the village level, districts, and regencies to make the folklore as a medium in learning the educational values. The society, especially the fishpond farmer at Medang village are suggested to preserve the folklore without preventing it to be known. The scholars and the artists can also bring this folklore to life and present it in a more interesting format, both in a pure and classic appearance and in collaboration so that it can be presented as a myth that has a profound meaning.
Extreme-flood-related peat blocks: An Anthropocene analogue to ancient coal-forming environments
Authors: Rodríguez-López Juan Pedro , Soria Ana R. , Liesa Carlos L. 
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
Coal clasts associated with extreme floods are prone to survive and maintain their large size, contrary to the general belief that distance from the parent peat layer reduces the size of transported clasts. Contrary to apparent logic, moreover, a second flood event favors the preservation potential of such soft organic clasts, this being the minimal fragmentation. An Anthropocene example from an urban park in Spain demonstrates that peat clasts up to 1 m long can survive due to flotation for a distance of almost a hundred meters and are well preserved and stabilized thanks to a second flood. These peat blocks were generated by catastrophic flooding of urban peatlands along the Ebro River (city of Zaragoza) during exceptional rainfalls in Iberia. The water flow from the Ebro River flooded the peatland at the surface of the meander, ripping up peat clasts from a shear or detachment level formed by an indurated level characterized by rounded quartzite pebbles, which acted as a hydrological discontinuity surface. Extensive evidence of the paleoflow direction is provided by oriented crushed reeds and the widespread occurrence of imbricated and thrusted peat blocks on the eroded and exposed peatland and in the main urban accumulation areas. To be specific, peat blocks and minor clasts accumulated in four areas associated with different modes of transport and topographic steps. From proximal to distal these are as follows: i) a proximal rim including thrusted peat blocks on the eroded peatland, ii) two intermediate accumulation zones associated with topographic steps in the park, characterized by peat-clast imbrication, iii) gravity-fall peat clasts deposited in an artificial channel in the park, and iv) peat rafts of more than 1 m in diameter scattered over the surface of the park (at a distance of 90 m from the eroded peatland).
Contrasting facies patterns between river-dominated and symmetrical wave-dominated delta deposits
Authors: Willis Brian J. , Sun Tao , Ainsworth R. Bruce 
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
Process-physics-based, coupled hydrodynamic–morphodynamic delta models are constructed to understand preserved facies heterogeneities that can influence subsurface fluid flow. Two deltaic systems are compared that differ only in the presence of waves: one river dominated and the other strongly influenced by longshore currents. To understand an entire preserved deltaic succession, the growth of multiple laterally adjacent delta lobes is modeled to define delta axial to marginal facies trends through an entire regressive–transgressive depositional succession. The goal is to refine a facies model for symmetrical wave-dominated deltas (where littoral drift diverges from the delta lobe apex). Because many factors change depositional processes on deltas, the description of the river-dominated example is included to provide a direct reference case from which to define the impact of waves on preserved facies patterns. Both systems display strong facies trends from delta axis to margin that continued into inter-deltaic areas. River-dominated delta regression preserved a dendritic branching of compensationally stacked bodies. Transgression, initiated by sea-level rise, backfilled the main channel and deposited levees and splays on the submerging delta top. Wave-dominated deltas developed dual clinoforms: a shoreface clinoform built as littoral drift carried sediment away from the river month and onshore, and a subaqueous delta-front clinoform composed of sediment accumulated below wave base. Although littoral drift in both directions away from the delta axis stabilized the position of the river at the shoreline, distributary-channel avulsions and lateral migration of river flows across the subaqueous delta top produced heterogeneities in both sets of clinoform deposits. Separation of shoreface and subaqueous delta-front clinoforms across a subaqueous delta top eroded to wave base produced a discontinuity in progradational vertical successions that appeared gradual in some locations but abrupt in others. Littoral drift flows away from adjacent deltas converged in inter-deltaic areas, producing shallow water longshore bars cut by wave-return-flow channels with associated terminal mouth bars. Transgression initiated by sea-level rise initially led to vertical aggradation of wave-reworked sheet sands on the subaqueous delta top and then retreating shoreface barrier sands as the subaerial delta top flooded. Pseudo inter-well flow tests responded to local heterogeneities in the preserved deposits. As expected, abandoned channels in the river-dominated case defined shoreline-perpendicular preferential flow paths and wave-dominated delta deposits are more locally homogeneous, but scenarios for development of more pronounced shore-parallel heterogeneity patterns for wave-influenced deltas are discussed. The results highlight the need to consider the dual clinoform nature of wave-dominated delta deposition for facies prediction and subsurface interpretation.
A simple, effective petrographic method for quantifying percent clay or other grain-coat coverage in sandstones
Authors: Franks Stephen G. , Pantano John 
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
A simple petrographic method is presented to quantify the percent of grain-coat coverage in sandstones. The method involves visually noting whether, at the intersection of a grain boundary and an ocular crosshair, a grain coat (or other grain coating) is present or absent. If a coating is absent at the juncture of the grain boundary and the ocular crosshair, then it can be recorded whether an open pore, a pore-filling cement, or another grain is present at that point. The technique is simple to apply as part of standard point-counting procedures for composition or for grain size. It is much less time consuming, minutes rather than hours, than methods that involve measuring grain perimeters and grain-coat length on SEM images or on thin sections. Computer simulations and comparative measurements on sets of the same samples suggest that they yield results comparable to those techniques. It is less subjective than visual estimates of grain-coat coverage and gives more reproducible results. The mineralogy of the grain coat, its thickness, and its paragenetic relationships to other grain-coating phases can be simultaneously recorded.
