Published: April 2024

У лісах зеленої зони Житомира, зважаючи на їх функціональні особливості, окрім рекреаційного лісокористування досить, активно ведеться лісогосподарська діяльність. Шляхом аналізу лісовпорядних та виробничих матеріалів було визначено основні показники ведення лісового господарства в межах трьох найбільших лісокористувачів у лісопарковій частині лісів зеленої зони Житомира. Для дослідження впливу лісозаготівлі та протипожежних заходів на рекреаційні показники було проведено польові дослідження на 50-ти пробних площах. Переважаючими за площею лісогосподарськими заходами є вибіркові санітарні рубки, доглядові та інші господарські рубання. Тільки в 2020-2022 рр. у межах рекреаційно-оздоровчих лісів Житомира рубаннями формування і оздоровлення лісів було пройдено від 15 до 43 %% площ покритих лісом ділянок трьох найбільших лісокористувачів. Під час аналізу проведених рубок у рекреаційно-оздоровчих лісах виявлено, що за останні роки ландшафтні рубання основними лісокористувачами не проводилися. За характером організації ведення лісового господарства у приміських лісах неістотно відрізняється від експлуатаційних лісів. Благоустрій проводився тільки в межах сімох рекреаційних пунктів. Досліджено, що під час проведення санітарних вибіркових рубань у лісопарковій частині лісів зеленої зони на 23 % площ було відзначено зміну типу ландшафту із закритого на напіввідкритий. Виявлено, що після проведення санітарних вибіркових рубань в насадженнях відбулося підвищення класу стійкості та естетичної оцінки на одну позицію. Проведення доглядових та інших рубань не вплинули на зміну жодного рекреаційного показника. Оцінено вплив вогневого методу очищення лісосіки від порубкових решток на порушення надґрунтового покриву ділянок. З'ясовано, що цей метод очищення лісосік, який застосовують на 95 % площ лісосік рубань формування і оздоровлення, призводить до порушення від 1 до 4 % площі поверхні ґрунту, що фактично відповідає показникам рекреаційної дигресії на цих ділянках до проведення рубань. Досліджено, що після проведення лісосічних робіт взимку порушення надґрунтового покриву варіювало в межах 8-15 %, літні лісозаготівельні роботи спричиняли значно більше технологічне порушення поверхні ґрунту – від 12 до 52 %. Встановлено, що під час проведення протипожежної мінералізації ґрунту в лісових насадженнях лісопаркової зони частка технологічно пошкодженої поверхні ґрунту становила від 2 до 8 % площ, що у два-чотири рази перевищувало показники рекреаційної дигресії дослідних ділянок. Перспективними є дослідження терміну відновлення рослинного покриву на порушених ділянках внаслідок вогневого очищення лісосічних відходів.
Inferring Fundamental Properties of the Flare Current Sheet Using Flare Ribbons: Oscillations in the Reconnection Flux Rates
Authors: Corchado Albelo Marcel F. , Kazachenko Maria D. , Lynch Benjamin J. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Magnetic reconnection is understood to be the main physical process that facilitates the transformation of magnetic energy into heat, motion, and particle acceleration during solar eruptions. Yet, observational constraints on reconnection region properties and dynamics are limited due to a lack of high-cadence and high-spatial-resolution observations. By studying the evolution and morphology of postreconnected field-lines footpoints, or flare ribbons and vector photospheric magnetic field, we estimate the magnetic reconnection flux and its rate of change with time to study the flare reconnection process and dynamics of the current sheet above. We compare high-resolution imaging data to study the evolution of the fine structure in flare ribbons as ribbons spread away from the polarity inversion line. Using data from two illustrative events (one M- and X-class flare), we explore the relationship between the ribbon-front fine structure and the temporal development of bursts in the reconnection region. Additionally, we use the RibbonDB database to perform statistical analysis of 73 (C- to X-class) flares and identify quasiperiodic pulsation (QPP) properties using the Wavelet Transform. Our main finding is the discovery of QPP signatures in the derived magnetic reconnection rates in both example events and the large flare sample. We find that the oscillation periods range from 1 to 4 minutes. Furthermore, we find nearly cotemporal bursts in Hard X-ray (HXR) emission profiles. We discuss how dynamical processes in the current sheet involving plasmoids can explain the nearly cotemporal signatures of quasiperiodicity in the reconnection rates and HXR emission.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
In a previous study, Huang et al. used the Alfvén Wave Solar atmosphere Model, one of the widely used solar wind models in the community, driven by ADAPT-GONG magnetograms to simulate the solar wind in the last solar cycle and found that the optimal Poynting flux parameter can be estimated from either the open field area or the average unsigned radial component of the magnetic field in the open field regions. It was also found that the average energy deposition rate (Poynting flux) in the open field regions is approximately constant. In the current study, we expand the previous work by using GONG magnetograms to simulate the solar wind for the same Carrington rotations and determine if the results are similar to the ones obtained with ADAPT-GONG magnetograms. Our results indicate that similar correlations can be obtained from the GONG maps. Moreover, we report that ADAPT-GONG magnetograms can consistently provide better comparisons with 1 au solar wind observations than GONG magnetograms, based on the best simulations selected by the minimum of the average curve distance for the solar wind speed and density.

Published: April 2024

ObjectiveTo estimate the additional healthcare system costs associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA) in the 1-year prediagnosis and postdiagnosis periods and over long-term follow-up compared to individuals with similar demographics and comorbidities without GCA.MethodsWe performed a population-based study using health administrative data. Newly diagnosed cases of GCA (between 2002 and 2017 and aged ≥ 66 years) were identified using a validated algorithm and matched 1:6 to comparators using propensity scores. Follow-up data were accrued until death, outmigration, or March 31, 2020. The costs associated with care were determined across 3 phases: the year before the diagnosis of GCA, the year after, and ongoing costs thereafter in 2021 Canadian dollars (CAD).ResultsThe cohort consisted of 6730 cases of GCA and 40,380 matched non-GCA comparators. The average age was 77 (IQR 72-82) years and 68.2% were female. A diagnosis of GCA was associated with an increased cost of CAD $6619.4 (95% CI 5964.9-7274.0) per patient during the 1-year prediagnostic period, $12,150.3 (95% CI 11,233.1-13,067.6) per patient in the 1-year postdiagnostic phase, and $20,886.2 (95% CI 17,195.2-24,577.2) per patient during ongoing care for year 3 onward. Increased costs were driven by inpatient hospitalizations, physician services, hospital outpatient clinic services, and emergency department visits.ConclusionA diagnosis of GCA was associated with increased healthcare costs during all 3 phases of care. Given the substantial economic burden, strategies to reduce the healthcare utilization and costs associated with GCA are warranted.
Entre deux mondes : Sarmiento en Algérie
Authors: Jarak Diego 
Published: March 2024

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, éminent intellectuel du XIXe siècle, a exploré l'Algérie en 1846, révélant sa perspective eurocentriste et sa relation avec le monde arabe. Ce « détour » africain, bien qu'apparemment hors de son programme, a offert un chapitre fascinant dans la construction de sa vision coloniale et de ses idées préconçues. La connexion entre le colonialisme et la vision eurocentriste en Algérie met en évidence les tensions entre assimilation et résistance locale. De plus, dans ses relations complexes avec le monde arabe, Sarmiento présente une dualité entre admiration et perspective civilisationniste, nuançant ainsi sa vision de l'identité arabe.

Published: March 2024

Notre étude vise à comprendre l’activité menée par les enseignants d’institut universitaire de technologie (IUT) dans le cadre de la préparation de leurs cours avec les ressources éducatives. Il s’agit également d’identifier ce qui fait ressource éducative pour ces enseignants. Nous nous demandons si des spécificités émergent du fait de la nécessaire et forte relation des enseignants avec le secteur professionnel. Quatre filières d’IUT sont étudiées : génie biologique (GB), gestion des entreprises et des administrations (GEA), informatique (INFO) et métiers du multimédia et de l’Internet (MMI). Avec comme point de départ la caractérisation de processus déjà identifiés chez les enseignants de l’enseignement secondaire technologique, nous relevons au travers de l’analyse d’entretiens semi-directifs, quatre processus en œuvre chez les enseignants de l’IUT : la transmission-héritage, la collection de ressources, la constitution d’un réseau de confiance, c’est-à-dire la reconnaissance de la fiabilité et/ou de la pertinence d’une ressource et la participation à des collectifs producteurs de ressources. Une grille de codage des entretiens est établie, avec l’unité sémantique comme unité de codage retenue. Si l’analyse des entretiens fait apparaître des différences en fonction de la filière, le processus de constitution d’un réseau de confiance est majoritairement présent. Nous confrontons nos résultats à ceux d’enquêtes par questionnaire sur les pratiques informationnelles des enseignants dans l’enseignement supérieur.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Article 5.3 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) outlines a roadmap for the parties to safeguard public health policies in compliance with the national law from the influence of commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry.

Aim:
The study was conducted with the aim to identify gaps and bring existing Indian policies in compliance with Article 5.3 of FCTC.

Materials and Methods:
A nationwide cross-sectional opinion poll involving respondents aged >18 years (n = 164) and a panel discussion (n = 31) were conducted.

Results:
The majority of stakeholders expressed (strongly agree = 65% and agree = 22.6%) the need for a nationwide policy to regulate interactions between public officials and the tobacco industry. About 56.7% felt the need to expand existing protocols and codes of conduct for public officials across India. Over 84% of the participants supported incorporating specific sections to implement Article 5.3 into the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act Amendment Bill 2020. The majority of participants supported the need for guidelines for medical bodies and prohibiting tobacco companies from participating in corporate social responsibility activities.

Conclusion:
The Government of India should comprehensively adopt Article 5.3, in all states and union territories, adopting a whole-of-government approach in partnership with the community and civil society under the “whole-of-society” approach for effective tobacco control measures.

Authors: Fawzi Ruya Qadri , Rifat Aseel Ghazi 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background:
Preeclampsia (PE) is a common multisystemic disorder of pregnancy. Glycodelin is a glycoprotein belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. It acts as a regulator of immunosuppression activity, fertilization, implantation, and placentation.

Objectives:
To analyze serum glycodelin levels in PE and evaluate whether it correlates with the severity of the disease.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective case–control study included 60 women diagnosed with PE (subdivided into 30 pregnant women with mild PE and 30 pregnant women with severe PE) and 30 healthy normotensive pregnant women. Patient with multiple pregnancies, gestational trophoblastic diseases, in active labor, a history of medical diseases, or taking treatment were excluded from the study. Blood samples were taken for biochemical study; serum glycodelin levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results:
Patients with PE had significantly higher mean glycodelin levels as compared to the normal group. The glycodelin level ≥37.9 ng/mL had 96.70% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 98% accuracy for the prediction of PE. The mean glycodelin was significantly higher in severe PE (102.3 ± 51.3) as compared to mild PE (45.2 ± 7.3) in pregnant women (P < 0.001). The glycodelin level ≥50.1 ng/mL had 86.7% sensitivity, 80% specificity, and 85% accuracy for the prediction of severe PE.

Conclusions:
Glycodelin is an appropriate marker for the diagnosis of PE and the categorization of disease according to severity.

Published: April 2024

Background: Fungal infections are a common problem in tropical areas like Indonesia. Therefore, an alternative antifungal therapy is needed, focusing on black ear fungus (Auricularia nigricans), which contains flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics/hydroquinones, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes with potential antifungal properties.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of various extracts and fractions derived from Auricularia nigricans against Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, and Microsporum gypseum by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Fungicide Concentration (MFC).
Methods: Antifungal activities were assessed using disc diffusion and microdilution techniques.
Results: The microdilution test against Candida albicans showed MIC values of 12,500 µg/mL, 6,250 µg/mL, 3,125 µg/mL, and 25,000 µg/mL for the fungus extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate, and methanol: water respectively, with MFC of each parameter exceeding 50,000 µg/mL. For Microsporum gyseum, the extract and n-hexane exhibited MIC of 6,250 µg/mL, while the methanol:water and ethyl acetate fractions had MIC of 12,500 µg/mL and 3,125 µg/mL with MFC >50,000 µg/mL and equal to 50,000 µg/mL, respectively.
Conclusion: All the extracts and fractions demonstrated antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Microsporum gyseum, excluding the fungal sample of Aspergillus flavus.

Published: April 2024

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death in Indonesia. Appropriate management, including the identification of drug-related problems (DRPs), is needed to prevent disability and death.
Objective: This study aimed to analyse DRPs as defined by the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE).
Method: This was a cross-sectional research using the medical records of in-patients with ischemic stroke aged >18 years.
Result: Out of the 115 patients examined, 51.3% were male, and the mean age was 57.85 + 10.539 years. Exactly 204 cases of DRPs and 175 causes appeared in 101 patients. A total of 58 patients experienced one-to-two problems, and 43 patients experienced more than two problems. The problems domain consists of therapeutic effectiveness (P1, 133(65.2%)), adverse effects (P2, 67(32, 84%)), and medical expenses (P3, 4(1, 96%)). The DRPs mostly involved antihypertension and antiplatelet. The most common cause was a new indication for treatment (C1.9, 51(29.14%)) and drug interactions (C8.1, 48(27.43%)). Multivariate analysis of patient characteristics showed that patients taking more than eight medications were more likely to experience more than two DRPs than those on one-to-four medications (OR 5.593; 95%, CI 1.015-30.812).
Conclusion: Most patients experienced one-to-two DRPs with the highest being a potentially suboptimal treatment. Clinical pharmacists are expected to monitor therapy, especially in polypharmacy patients.

Published: April 2024

The relocation of the capital city from Jakarta to Kalimantan signifies a significant milestone in the historical trajectory of Indonesia, exemplifying a strategic choice that carries extensive implications. The present ambitious undertaking, motivated by the imperative of achieving sustainable growth and mitigating the issue of congestion in the existing capital, gives rise to inquiries regarding its prospective ramifications on adjacent areas. The possibility of an impact on Sarawak, a Malaysian state located within a short distance of the planned new capital, is of significant importance. The main objective of this study is to analyze and explain the economic sectors involved in the migration of Jakarta to Sarawak, with a specific emphasis on industries. An extensive analysis is required to understand the potential impact of the capital move on regional dynamics, trade patterns, and socio-economic landscapes, given the close geographical proximity between Sarawak and the new capital. This study is an exploratory study from primary sources. It carries out an analysis through reference to official documents, especially on national policy, official reports, and official statements involving Sarawak and all relevant agencies. This research gives valuable insights into the various aspects of the relocation process, providing an important contribution to the broader academic discourse on regional growth and the potential cross-border consequences. This study seeks to provide valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders in Indonesia and Malaysia as they navigate the transformative processes associated with the move of capital.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: This study examines how smallholder farmers in Siaya County, Kenya, are impacted by the Lifelong Learning for Farmers (L3F) initiative regarding revenue distribution, agricultural productivity, and access to learning resources.
Methodology: The analysis utilizes comprehensive statistical data, focusing on demographic characteristics and changes in agricultural production and income among local farmers.
Findings: Key outcomes include a notable gender skew towards females at 76%, aligning with regional trends in women's participation in agriculture. The intervention led to a substantial increase in poultry production, with an average rise of 109.63 birds per farm and a significant income enhancement, averaging a 7,053 Kenyan Shillings (KSH) increase per participant. Income distribution data unveiled a prevailing income disparity, with the bulk of participants (41%) falling into the lower income bracket of KSH 3000. A significant portion (57.89%) reported moderate income growth post-intervention, while 40.70% experienced considerable income boosts. The study also detailed changes in oilseed production volumes, showing moderate and significant increases for 43.86% and 29.47% of the cases, respectively. Challenges to L3F implementation included accessing learning resources, with 25.26% of respondents facing difficulties and a gap in technical expertise, as 39.65% felt the need for further training. Yet, 92.67% successfully adapted L3F strategies to their local agricultural contexts, indicating a high adaptability rate. Despite the financial constraints cited by 72.98% of participants, the initiative's positive outcomes suggest a promising potential for personalized digital extension services to impact agricultural productivity and poverty reduction in rural settings significantly. Notwithstanding the general success, issues were noted, including a lack of access to technology and technical know-how.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: These results highlight how tailored digital extension services can improve agricultural productivity and spur economic growth. The L3F initiative shows a possible path for fostering sustainable agricultural growth and reducing poverty in rural communities by tackling technical and educational hurdles.
