Published: November 2024

Salah satu jenis kacang-kacangan terbesar ketiga di Indonesia adalah kacang hijau. Viabilitas dan vigor benih yang digunakan dalam praktik budidaya dipengaruhi oleh mutu mutu benih selama penyimpanan. Deteriorasi yang terjadi selama penyimpanan menyebabkan penurunan mutu benih kacang hijau. Limbah pertanian seperti arang sekam, serbuk gergaji dan cocopeat dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan matriconditioning untuk meningkatkan viabilitas dan vigor benih yang telah mengalami deteriorasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh media matriconditioning terhadap viabilitas dan vigor benih kacang hijau yang telah mengalami deteriorasi. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan lingkungan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) Split-Plot dengan tiga ulangan. Petak utama terdiri dari varietas kacang hijau (Vima 1, Vima 2, dan Vima 4) dan anak petak yaitu media matriconditioning (kontrol, serbuk gergaji, arang sekam, serbuk cocopeat, abu gosok). Variabel yang diamati berupa daya berkecambah (DB), indeks vigor (IV), kecepatan tumbuh (KCT), keserempakan tumbuh (KST), dan daya hantar listrik (DHL). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan matriconditioning menggunakan arang sekam merupakan perlakuan terbaik untuk meningkatkan viabilitas dan vigor benih kacang hijau. Varietas Vima 4 merupakan varietas yang memberikan respon terbaik terhadap daya berkecambah, indeks vigor, kecepatan tumbuh, dan daya hantar listrik. One of the third largest legume crops in Indonesia is mung bean. When low-quality seeds are used, it can have an impact on the viability and vigor of mung bean seeds that are used for cultivation. Seed quality decreases during storage. Agricultural waste, specifically husk charcoal, sawdust, dan cocopeat, can be used as matriconditioning materials to improve the viability and vigor of seeds that have deteriorated. This study aims to determine the effect of matriconditioning medium dengan agricultural waste affects the viability and vigor of deteriorated mung bean seeds. The study was organized using a Split-Plot Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. The main plots (Vima 1, Vima 2, and Vima 4) included the mung bean types, and the subplots included the matriconditioning medium (control, sawdust, husk charcoal, cocopeat powder, scouring ash). Rates of germination (DB), vigor index (IV), growth rate (KCT), growth uniformity (KST), and electrical conductivity (DHL) were observed. The results showed that matriconditioning treatment using husk charcoal was the best treatment to enhance the viability and vigor of mung bean seeds. The best variety is Vima 4, which responds to germination, vigor index, growth rate, and electrical conductivity.

Abstract
We present the results from spectroscopic and photometric analysis of 17 globular cluster (GC) candidates in the Irr II galaxy NGC 3077. The GC candidates were selected on the Hubble Space Telescope images and were cleaned of foreground Galatic stars using the GAIA parameters. We carried out aperture photometry using the multiband archival images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Two Micron All Sky Survey of all candidates, and low resolution (R = 1000) spectroscopic observations of 12 GC candidates and three suspected foreground stars using the Optical System for Imaging and Low-Intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy/Multi-Object Spectra mode at the Gran Telescopio Canarias. Age, metallicity, and extinction values were determined using both spectroscopic and photometric data, independently. We find three of the 17 candidates are old (age > 10 Gyr), metal-poor ([Fe/H] < −1.0 dex), and massive (mass > 105
M
⊙) GCs with characteristics similar to the classical GCs in the Milky Way. The rest are intermediate-age clusters (IACs) with typical ages of 3–4 Gyr and in general metal-rich clusters. The radial velocities of both populations are within 100 km s−1 of the recessional velocity of the host galaxy. A relatively large population of IACs and low value of GC specific frequency (S
N = 0.7) suggest that the preinteraction galaxy was actively forming stars and star clusters, and is unlikely to be a dwarf elliptical as suggested in some previous works.
Photometric Classification of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies Using Machine Learning
Authors: Moon Yashasvi , French K. Decker 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are transient events observed when a star gets tidally destroyed by a supermassive black hole. TDEs prefer quiescent Balmer-strong (QBS) host galaxies, which have strong Balmer absorption and weak emission lines. Identifying these galaxies photometrically is difficult but important for TDE classification. This research provides a method of using photometric data to identify QBS galaxies by applying machine learning classifiers such as the Random Forest Classifier (RF) and the K-Neighbors Classifier (KN). The classifiers cumulatively identify 9548 likely QBS galaxies, with the RF achieving 75%–96% purity and 50% completeness and the KN achieving 60%–99% purity and 45% completeness for QBS galaxies below photometric redshifts of 0.3.
Exploring pre-requisites for clinical learning indicators: A scoping review
Authors: Chilemba Evelyn B. , Chiundira Felistas , Phiri Chrissie , Chisoni Felix 
Published: November 2024

Background: Understanding how clinical learning takes place and what could stand as an indicator of clinical learning is crucial. There are existing challenges in the clinical learning environment that require clinical indicators. These serve as accountability standards in settings that have challenges of human resources and material poverty. Thus, clinical indicators are pre-requisites for self-regulation and self-directedness to promote lifelong learning. The reality that exists in today’s Malawian health education institutions and clinical settings requires that those in training receive support and guidance on how essential competencies and skills can be acquired during training.Objectives: The objective of this scoping review was to identify current literature on clinical learning indicators among health professional students.Method: The Joanna Briggs Institute’s (May 2020) standards for scoping reviews including narrative synthesis were followed in the conduct of this review. The protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework https://osf.io/yj9nr.Results: The results generated seven themes on clinical learning process and these are (1) planning for learning, (2) awareness of self-directedness in clinical learning, (3) knowledge of achievement of learning outcomes, (4) educators’ evidence of students’ clinical learning, (5) students’ perspective on clinical learning, (6) students’ knowledge of achievement in practice and (7) impact of prior knowledge on clinical learning.Conclusion: Clinical learning indicators among undergraduate health professionals are essential and clinical learning should be a planned endeavour by the students before the clinical placement settings.Contribution: This study contributed to understanding clinical learning indicators and self-regulated learning practices among healthcare students.
Teaching through and with decolonial love in a neoliberal South African University
Authors: Maluleka Paul 
Published: November 2024

The public university in South Africa continues to propagate capitalist, competitive and neoliberal agendas that are inconsistent with agendas that could be considered to be of public good. These market-orientated logics and discourses have compromised teaching in the university because of increased casualisation of faculty as a result of cost cutting and commodification of education meant to realise artificial efficiency. This has meant that faculty are now confronted with larger class sizes to teach and less support in the process. This approach to teaching has framed the academic project as an individual pursuit rather than a collective one. Thus, the academic project has been reduced to a project that only generates unequal and impossible expectations. In this article, aided by coloniality and decoloniality as my preferred philosophical orientations, I propose decolonial love as one transformative pedagogical approach that university teachers can employ in the implementation of their mandate, which is to teach and educate students for the epistemic, human, social and public good. I argue that such an approach to teaching would and can contribute to the promotion of transgression of knowledge boundaries for knowledge co-construction and thus enable a way of teaching that promotes pluriversal (situated) knowledges.Contribution: I also assert that by employing decolonial love as a pedagogical approach, university teachers can come to value what their students bring to their lecture rooms and thus use cultural heritage of their students to develop innovative pedagogies that are culturally relevant and also underpinned by a pedagogy rooted in love.

Authors: Talan Yesri E. , Bilo Dyulius T. , Purdaryanto Samuel 
Published: November 2024

The theology of love in the practice of giving betel nut with ‘okomama’ in Atoni Pah Meto culture reflects the values taught in 1 John 4:7–8. This study, utilizing qualitative methods and a descriptive ethnographic approach, explores how this tradition embodies Christian teachings of love within the local cultural context. It examines the values of love expressed in this practice and its impact on social and cultural relationships within the Atoni Meto community. The findings reveal that the offering of betel nut with ‘okomama’ symbolizes affection, respect, brotherhood, and serves as a tool for conflict mediation, cultural preservation, and the strengthening of community identity. This tradition enriches social relationships, maintains harmony, and applies the values of love in daily life.Intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary implications: This research makes a significant contribution to the study of culture, anthropology, and theology by examining how Christian love values are reflected in local practices. It encourages further exploration of the interaction between culture, religion, and theology, while also opening opportunities to study the sustainability of traditions and community identity in modern contexts.
Hypermagnesemia-induced pseudonecrotizing enterocolitis and respiratory distress in a preterm infant: A case report
Authors: Srinivas K Nimishashree , Rangaswamy Darshan Rajatadri , Kamble Niranjan 
Published: November 2024

Rationale:
This case highlights the rare yet critical diagnosis of hypermagnesemia in a preterm infant, who presented with symptoms mimicking necrotizing enterocolitis. It underscores the importance of considering hypermagnesemia as a differential diagnosis in neonatal respiratory distress and gastrointestinal symptoms, even when the cause is not immediately apparent.

Patient’s Concern:
An extremely low birth infant with respiratory distress further had episodes of apnoea and cyanosis. The infant eventually exhibited abdominal distension and bilious vomiting, symptoms mimicking necrotizing enterocolitis.

Diagnosis:
The infant’s clinical features were attributed to hypermagnesemia, despite no magnesium being administered and no apparent cause identified. Screening the apparently asymptomatic mother confirmed a serum magnesium level of 4 mg/dL, suggesting transplacental transfer as the likely cause of the neonate’s condition.

Interventions:
The newborn was treated supportively with adequate hydration and maintenance calcium gluconate.

Outcomes:
Magnesium levels decreased, and the baby showed signs of improvement.

Lessons:
Hypermagnesemia, though uncommon, should be investigated and considered even when the symptoms are not apparent.

Authors: Lahare Vipin K , Verma Nirmal , Chandrakar Aditi 
Published: November 2024

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiology of injuries and risk factors in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India.

Methods:
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 10 selected wards of Raipur. Data were collected from injured individuals using a structured questionnaire. Socio-demographic characteristics, injury mechanisms, medical care-seeking behavior, and outcomes were assessed.

Results:
312 individuals with injuries were included, with 193 men and 119 women. Males were more likely to be injured than females (61.86% v.s. 38.14%). Younger adults aged 21-30 were at highest risk (21.5%). The most common injuries were falls (38.8%) and road traffic accidents (34.9%). Injuries occurring on-road are the most frequent, followed by, at home with a highly significant association (P<0.001). Most individuals sought medical care (90.1%), primarily in private facilities (51.3%).

Conclusions:
This study provides valuable insights into the epidemiology of injuries in Raipur. The findings can inform the development of evidence-based interventions to reduce the burden of injuries and improve the health and well-being of the population.
Vitamin D as a Possible Biomarker for the Development of Diabetic Retinopathy among Libyan Diabetics
Authors: Younis Mustafa Younis G. , El-Zalitni Naeima M. , Khalleefa Ahlam Moftah 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
Vitamin D (VD) is a fat-soluble vitamin produced in the skin through photosynthesis. It plays many important physiological roles, including maintaining bone structure, regulating the immune response, and helping to prevent various health conditions from general fatigue to cancers. VD deficiency (VDD) is a well-known condition diagnosed by low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. VDD is considered a risk factor for many health issues, including diabetes and its complications such as retinopathy.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible role of VD as a biomarker for diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to study the correlations between VDD and other study investigations such as glycosylated hemoglobin and lipid profile.

Materials and Methods:
The study population was divided into three groups: Group 1 – diabetics with retinopathy “DR” (30 patients), Group 2 – diabetics without retinopathy “non-DR” (30 patients), and Group 3 – nondiabetics “control” (30 subjects). Blood samples were drawn from study subjects to investigate 25-hydroxyvitamin D, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), blood glucose, and lipid profile from April 2022 to December 2022.

Results:
Regarding 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), the difference in means between the groups was statistically highly significant (P < 0.001). The DR group had the lowest mean of 25(OH)D3 (14.7 ± 5.9 ng/mL) when compared to the other two groups – the non-DR group (17.6 ± 5.4 ng/mL) and the control group (22.8 ± 6.6 ng/mL). The mean HbA1c of the diabetic group (8.2% ± 1.6%) and the mean HbA1c of the nondiabetic group (5.5% ±0.5%) were statistically low significant (P < 0.001) compared to the mean of HbA1c of the DR group (9.2% ± 1.2%). The DR group had a mean and standard deviation (SD) of (137.3 ± 62.0 mg/dL) of triglycerides (TGs) which was very significantly lower (P < 0.049) than the means of serum TG of the non-DR group (mean and SD of TG was 170.3 ± 62 mg/dL). The present study’s correlation coefficient results revealed a significant negative (r = −0.388) correlation between VD and HbA1c, indicating that a decrease in 25(OH)D3 levels is associated with an increase in HbA1c levels and that VDD coexisted with elevated HbA1c levels. The other finding indicates a positive correlation (0.261) between serum cholesterol and VD, meaning that elevated levels of VD coexisted with elevated levels of total cholesterol.

Conclusion:
The findings of our study showed a significant decrease of 25(OH)D3 in the DR group compared to the control. Moreover, the negative correlation between 25(OH)D3 and the HbA1c levels indicated that VDD coexisted with higher HbA1c levels (a sign of poor diabetic control). Higher HbA1c levels are usually accompanied by an increased risk of incidence of DR. Collectively, our findings suggested that low levels of 25(OH)D3 could be used as a proposed future biomarker for the incidence of DR.
To Evaluate the Effect of Structured Training Program about Premenstrual Syndrome on the Knowledge and Perception of Nursing Students at a Government Nursing Teaching Institute in Northern India
Authors: Latika  , Batra Namita , Dahiya Pushpa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) encompasses a range of symptoms that manifest in individuals between menstruation and ovulation. The prevalence of PMS will be lower among students with sufficient knowledge about PMS than among those without such information.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to assess nursing students’ knowledge and perception on PMS. Furthermore, the study aimed to determine if structured training interventions were effective in enhancing the students’ initial knowledge and perception levels.

Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted on nursing students from Govt. Nursing College, using a single-group pre–post interventional design. A pretested questionnaire was utilized as the research instrument. The intervention in the form of structured training program was imparted to the participants.

Results:
The pretest group exhibited a lower mean knowledge score (M = 25.0000, standard deviation (SD) =8.26225, standard error (SE) =0.55704) than the posttest group (M = 29.4773, SD = 9.64315, SE = 0.65014). A noteworthy difference was observed in the mean knowledge scores (t = −7.590085, P = 0.00001). The pretest group exhibited a lower mean perception score (M = 34.7591, SD = 3.55404, SE = 0.23961) than the posttest group (M = 36.2182, SD = 3.96533, SE = 0.26734). There were significant differences in perception scores, as evidenced by the statistical analysis (t = −6.244328, P = 0.00001).

Conclusions:
The results showed that the educational intervention led to significant improvements in their knowledge and perceptions about PMS.

Abstract

Background:
The current study aimed to assess knowledge, awareness, and vaccination compliance of hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV infection remains a public health problem worldwide. Furthermore, poor disease awareness, low diagnosis rates, and nonadherence to therapy amplify the disease burden.

Methods:
A cross-sectional web-based study was conducted in Southern Saudi Arabia to assess public knowledge and awareness about HBV and vaccination in the Aseer region. Participants aged 18 years and above were enrolled, and an online questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire included demographic data and knowledge about HBV vaccination. The study was published on social media platforms, with participants encouraged to participate and confidentiality clarified. The final questionnaire was uploaded until no new answers were obtained.

Results:
A total of 916 eligible participants completed the study questionnaire. Participants’ ages ranged from 18 to more than 60 years with a mean age of 33.1 ± 11.9 years old. Exact of 647 (70.6%) participants were males. Exact of 355 (38.8%) of the study participants received the HBV vaccine. Only 180 (19.7%) had a good knowledge level, 368 (40.2%) had an average knowledge level, and 368 (40.2%) had a poor knowledge level about HBV and vaccines. High education, working in the medical field, and having a family history of HBV infection were significantly associated with a high knowledge level (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The study found fair public awareness of HBV in the Aseer region, but a lack of knowledge about transmission and prevention. Most know about the HBV vaccine, but coverage is below the World Health Organization recommended.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
A 70-year-old male presented with a history of pedal edema, abdominal distension, and dyspnea on exertion New York Heart Association Class III for cardiology evaluation. He was a known case of a neuroendocrine tumor of the small intestine diagnosed 3 years back and was on octreotide injection monthly for 20 months, now presented with features of the right heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography showed thickened shortened immobile tricuspid valve leaflet with severe tricuspid regurgitation, and transesophageal echocardiography also confirmed the same. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography showed a tricuspid valve thickened and retracted with restricted mobility called a club-shaped leaflet, and with this, a diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease was made. This case mainly aims at stressing the need for early echo in neuroendocrine patients, which helps with early diagnosis and intervention to improve their survival significantly, and the application of 3D echo which will provide detailed anatomical information, particularly if tricuspid and pulmonary valves are involved.
