Abstract
Host-associated microbiomes have primarily been examined in the context of their internal microbial communities, but many animal species also contain microorganisms on external host surfaces that are important to host physiology. For nematodes, single strains of bacteria are known to adhere to the cuticle (e.g., Pasteuria penetrans), but the structure of a full external microbial community is uncertain. In prior research, we showed that internal gut microbiomes of nematodes (Plectus murrayi, Eudorylaimus antarcticus) and tardigrades from Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys were distinct from the surrounding environment and primarily driven by host identity. Building on this work, we extracted an additional set of individuals containing intact external microbiomes and amplified them for 16S and 18S rRNA metabarcoding. Our results showed that external bacterial microbiomes were more diverse than internal microbiomes, but less diverse than the surrounding environment. Host-specific bacterial compositional patterns were observed, and external microbiomes were most similar to their respective internal microbiomes. However, external microbiomes were more influenced by the environment than the internal microbiomes were. Non-host eukaryotic communities were similar in diversity to internal eukaryotic communities, but exhibited more stochastic patterns of assembly compared to bacterial communities, suggesting the lack of a structured external eukaryotic microbiome. Altogether, we provide evidence that nematode and tardigrade cuticles are inhabited by robust bacterial communities that are substantially influenced by the host, albeit less so than internal microbiomes are.

Abstract
Regarding oral biofilm aspects, there has been strong evidence for a microbiotic component in the aetiology of halitosis. Many oral microbiota have protheolytic and putative activity, but there have been no studies investigating the association of microbiota in oral biofilms with halitosis. The objective of this study was to determine species of oral microbiota in the periodontal area and dorsal part of tongue biofilm, and how their quantitative amounts differ in halitosis patients. The clinical bacterial material from halitosis patients (altogether 98 persons, volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) on average 380 ppb) was taken from periodontal pockets and the dorsal part of the tongue for microbiological diagnostics of anaerobic bacteria, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for the comparison of bacterial quantity. The study showed the primary aetiology factors of halitosis in Latvia, and offers possible versions of microbiological diagnostics of halitosis. Even though the examination of halitosis patients and determination of VSC using a halimeter is technically simpler and cheaper, the determination of aetiological factors and their combinations using microbiological examination of clinical material with PCR tests are more precise. A characteristic ecological niche of anaerobic bacteria is not only the anaerobic environment of periodontal pockets, but also the microbiota of the dorsal part of the tongue. Additionally, some anaerobic bacteria species (Porohyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Prevotella intermedia) in larger amounts are found on the microbiome of the tongue. Therefore, it is advisable to begin microbiological diagnostics in halitosis patients with quantitative diagnostics of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola on the biofilm of the tongue coating.

Abstract
The growth and maturation of a child’s body are going on continuously, but unevenly. Therefore, children of the same age may have different growth and functional abilities. On the initiative of the Latvian government, a pilot project was launched, which aims to evaluate the readiness of children to start school at the age of six as well as compare physical development, separate functional abilities, and posture for six and seven-year-old children of regions of Latvia and Rīga preschool educational institutions. The study involved 918 children, who were divided into two groups — Rīga (R) and regions of Latvia (RL). Respondents in each group were further divided by age — six- and seven-year-olds, and by sex. Anthropometric parameters were determined for each individual’s height, weight, chest circumference, lung vital capacity (PVC), forearm flexor muscle strength, and posture. In our study, the mean values of height for six-year-old girls were: R – 117.6 ± 5.8 cm, RL – 117.1 ± 6.3 cm, for boys R – 118.7 ± 5.0 cm, RL – 118.6 ± 5.1 cm. Seven-year-old children had an average increase in chest circumference of 1 to 2 cm, both by sex and by place of residence. Symmetrical posture was observed only for six-year-old children in 23.1% of cases and 17.1% of seven-year-old children. 59.5% of the children in the study group spent more than one hour a day watching TV, and 66.3% played computer games every day. The results of the study showed that children aged six and seven years grew and functionally developed very differently and individually. These age groups of children did not have accelerated growth ages; there were no large annual increases. A relatively small sex dimorphism was observed. The readiness of six-year-old children to start school should be assessed very individually by the child’s parents in collaboration with the pediatrician.

Published: March 2023

According to competitive and complex market situation, to fulfill customer needs the companies required to provide more functionality and higher quality software faster. Companies should be used existing resources as efficiently as possible, and they also need to utilize resources on a global scale from different sites within the company as well as associate companies throughout the world. All these provide in GSD that increase the functionality and quality of software. The main problem that GSD team face are: communication, coordination and work distribution. A proper mechanism for work distribution and communication has overcome the challenges that effect the project goal. To solve the GSD issues. We proposed a model that helps to mitigate these problems. We use site/work dependency and work/site characteristics criteria for the work distribution model. We also implement phased base configuration and work distribution model that helps in the work distribution mechanism. And use NEOStation software to overcome the barriers of communication, coordination and project management. The model has been developed to provide reliable communication between team members and provide an approach to the distribution of work as support for managers.

Sleep problems in childhood are frequent and may cause damage to the children and their families; however, parental orientation appears to be effective in its many new formats, such as the distance treatment. This study aimed to review the literature about behavioral intervention performed by distance to sleep problems in childhood and summarize the main characteristics of such interventions. Searches were performed up to November 2021 in BVS Psicologia ULAPSI Brasil, SCOPUS, and PsycINFO, using the key words: sleep problems, insomnia, nighttime fears, behavioral intervention, behavioral treatment, treatment, intervention, sleep, behavior, child, children, infant, mobile phones, smartphone, app, telephone, online, internet, bibliotherapy. We included 14 studies. The main results indicate that interventions were implemented between 2 and 12 weeks, the most reported procedure was pre-sleep routines, and semipresential interventions that required some presential contact were the most frequent. Written educational information about sleep through bibliotherapy and telephone contacts were the most used tools to implement the remote component of interventions. Ten studies indicated improvements on children’s sleep, and secondary results (parental sleep and/or mental health) were also reported among studies. Therefore, our findings suggest that distance interventions for childhood sleep problems are promising, but future research is still needed

SUNNAH NABAWIYAH, ANTARA TASYRI’IYYAH DAN GHAIRI TASYRI’IYYAH
Authors: Ribut Ribut 
Published: March 2023

<p>Sunnah merupakan sumber hukum Islam yang kedua sesudah Alquran, dan sunnah itu sendiri adalah ucapan, perbuatan dan ketetapan Nabi saw. Ditinjau dari segi kapasitas Nabi saw sebagai pembawa risalah dan di sisi lain sebagai manusia biasa, oleh banyak ulama sunnah dibagi menjadi <em>Sunnah Tasyri’iyyah</em> dan <em>Sunnah Ghairi Tasyri’iyah</em>. <em>Sunnah Tasyri’iyyah</em> ialah hal-hal yang berasal dari Nabi Muhammad saw dalam kapasitasnya sebagai rasul yang bertugas menyampaikan risalah kenabiannya. Sunnah ini memiliki faktor pensyariatan bersifat permanen, serta berlaku buat seluruh ruang serta waktu dan tidak terpengaruh dengan pergantian zaman. Hal-hal yang termasuk ke dalam <em>Sunnah Tasyri’yyah</em> ini di antaranya perkara-perkara gaib dan ibadah. Adapun <em>Sunnah Ghairi Tasyri’iyyah</em> ialah sunnah yang tidak terdapat tuntutan untuk mengikutinya. Yang termasuk ke dalam <em>Sunnah Ghairi Tasyri’iyah</em> di antaranya apa-apa yang bersumber dari Rasulullah saw yang sifatnya manusiawi, pengetahuan manusia, kepintaran dan percobaan tentang masalah dunia, dan apa-apa yang bersumber dari Rasulullah serta ada dalil yang menunjukkan tentang kekhususan Nabi saw. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk memahami sunnah <em>Ghairi Tasyri’iyyah</em> ini di antaranya pendekatan <em>maqasyid al-syari’ah</em>, historis, dan sosiologis. Munculnya pembagian sunnah kepada <em>Tasyri’iyyah</em> dan <em>Ghairi Tasyri’iyyah</em> didasari kepada beberapa hal. Pertama, adanya perbedaan pendapat tentang makna syariat. Kedua, adanya perbedaan pandangan terhadap perbuatan Nabi saw yang bersifat bawaan sebagai manusia. Ketiga, adanya perbedaan pendapat tentang ijtihad Nabi saw.</p>

The water quality of the Wuryantoro watershed decreased due to the entry of environmental pollutant burden in the form of land use and various human activities such as settlements, agriculture and industry. The land use of the Wuryantoro watershed was dominated by agricultural land. This study aimed to analyze the quality of agricultural wastewater based on the parameters of Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, Phosphate and calculate the agricultural pollution load originating from the residence time of fertilization. Grabs sampling was carried out at 3 points of agricultural land outlets representing the entire population before entering the Wuryantoro river. The research was conducted in April - June 2015 by analyzing parameters of Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia and Phosphate used referring to SNI and APHA using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The end point showed that the level and load of NO3 and NH3 parameters were still below the quality standard according to PP 82 of 2001 concerning Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, while the NO¬2 parameter for 2 days and 6 days of fertilization time exceeded the quality standard. The PO4 parameter was above the required threshold based on the Class II criteria according to PP 82 of 2001.

Published: March 2023

Drilling fluids rheological properties such as yield point (YP), plastic viscosity (PV), apparent viscosity (AV) and thixotropic property (Gel strength) are very important during drilling operations to prevent various drilling problems and improve the efficiency of the drilling process. Four water based drilling fluid samples containing different proportions of rice husk, xanthan gum and bentonite were investigated in this study to determine impacts of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Sodium chloride (NaCl), Sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) (Na2CO3) and Barite (BaSO4) on their rheological properties and pH values at temperature ranging from 30oC to 50oC. The chemical additives were added to the four samples at a given composition of 1%,2%,3% for (NaOH, NaCl, Na2CO3) and 5%, 10%, 15% for (BaSO4) by mass. The rheological properties of the samples were determined by FANN 35A viscometer using standard methods while pH meter and mud balance were used to measure their pH and density values respectively. The maximum pH, Shear- Stress, and AV corresponds to 11.6, 2.3985 Nm-2 and 112.5 cP respectively were observed in sample A with 10.5g of NaOH at 50oC while the highest YP value of 170 lbf/100ft2 was also observed at 35oC. However, maximum gel strength, GS (10 sec) and 10(min) were observed in the sample A with 190 lbf/100ft2 and 190 lbf/100ft2 for 10.5g of NaOH and 189 lbf/100ft2 and 191 lbf/100ft2 for 52.5g of BaSO4 respectively at temperature of 50oC. Furthermore, the same sample gave the lowest value of mud weight when the sample contain 3.5g of each additive (NaOH, NaCl and Na2CO3) at 35oC corresponds to 8.98 lb/gal. Drilling fluids produced with bentonite, rice husk, xanthan gum with appropriate proportion of NaOH and BaSO4 could be effective water based drilling fluid that can serve effectively in drilling operations at reasonable high temperature.

Purpose
Stiff elbow is a common upper extremity problem which can limit patients’ daily life activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of open arthrolysis for stiff elbow. Our hypothesis was that open arthrolysis would yield good functional results and patient satisfaction.
Methods
This retrospective study assessed 110 patients who underwent surgery for stiff elbow in a single institute between 2003-2012. Twenty-four of the patients who underwent open arthrolysis without heterotopic ossification excision and minimum followed up for 24 months were included in this study. All patient’s surgical procedure, ulnar nerve and radial head management, preoperative and postoperative ranges of elbow motion and complications were noted. Functional outcomes were evaluated with Quick-DASH and Mayo Elbow Performance score (MEPS).
Results
The mean age of the patients was 36.1 years at the time of open arthrolysis and mean follow-up period was 50.6 months. The mean preoperative flexion–extension arc increased form 52.4 to 96.5 and preoperative supination–pronation arc increased form 103.3 to 137.8 (p

Published: March 2023

Today’s business world has experienced rapid development. There is intense competition among fellow companies. The management system can work as a tool to improve company performance by measuring its employees’ performance. A performance measuring system is required to improve business performance. It will later function as an information provider that can be a reference for managers in making correct decisions for the company’s progress in general. This study focuses on garment companies using SEM PLS data analysis techniques, producing different results. It uses a quantitative descriptive method. It looks at the company’s performance measurement only from a financial point of view. The result showed that there is a significant beneficial impact between the TQM, employee productive behavior on company performance, and TQM on employee productive behavior. However, there is no effect of the reward system on the company’s performance. The productive behavior of employees can mediate the reward system based on company performance. Performance measurement systems can be mediated by productive employee behavior upon company performance. Employees that engage in productive behavior can mediate TQM on mediated company performance. The suggestion of the result of this research is the company can consider these research results to develop their company performance to achieve their goal. Therefore, the researchers also suggest that others conduct further research using a different method and variables that have not been studied in this study.
Evaluation of the Kura-Araxes migration: From a mono-factorial phantasm to a multi-dimensional phenomenon
Authors: Maziar Sepideh 
Published: March 2023

Many scholars concerned with the Kura-Araxes cultural tradition take many aspects of this complex phenomenon for granted. In most publications, the expansion of this tradition across a vast area is treated like the movement of people from point A to B, or in the best case, as the waves of movement between these points. In most of them, migration is considered a direct reaction of people to population growth, lack of pasture lands, environmental stresses, and the Kura-Araxes as environmental or conflict refugees that flee a threat.
These perspectives in recent years terminated to some skeptics regarding considering the distribution of the Kura-Araxes material culture as a result of migration. On the other hand, turning to be once again a buzzword, ‘migration’ as an explanation, is considered anachronistic among some archaeologists. This article will reevaluate different scenarios related to the Kura-Araxes phenomenon to see where we stand and how we can overcome these shortcomings. It seems that the Kura-Araxes phenomenon at the current state of our understanding suffers different drawbacks at different levels. The migration scenario itself and the mechanism behind it are still vague, and the relationship between the core area and diaspora is rarely addressed. It is suggested that approaches such as ‘resilience theory’ and discussing the Kura-Araxes phenomenon and migration in the context of social resilience will be more promising for the topic at hand.
