Authors: Goswami Haimanti , Kumar Debolina , Biswas Swarnava 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a prevalent gynecological disorder that is characterized by the presence of unpleasant menstrual cramps. This condition has been found to have significant medical, psychological, and social implications for individuals who experience it. Although commonly seen as an inherent characteristic of a properly functioning reproductive system, it can potentially operate as a diagnostic tool for underlying illnesses. Regrettably, dialogues pertaining to dysmenorrhea are sometimes prohibited, particularly among males, within diverse cultural contexts.
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitudes among allied health professions students enrolled at various universities of West Bengal (WB), India with regard to dysmenorrhea. This study aims to examine the impact of cultural variables on the knowledge and communication surrounding dysmenorrhea, specifically within conservative Indian districts.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 494 students enrolled in allied health professions faculties at different universities of WB. Data collection took place from September 2021 to February 2023. A meticulously designed survey was employed to gather data pertaining to the various sources of knowledge, levels of awareness, attitudes toward discussing dysmenorrhea, and willingness to engage in conversations about menstruation with prospective females. Data interpretation involved the utilization of statistical analysis techniques, such as descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.
Results: In terms of demographic composition, the study consisted of 86% female participants and 14% male participants. The mean knowledge scores of females (14.41 ± 3.14) were found to be considerably higher compared to males (13.75 ± 4.56). The primary sources of information were the internet (58.3%), maternity figures (48.8%), and educational institutions (46.2%). An observed positive connection (r = 0.244) was found between age and knowledge levels. The participants exhibited a general hesitancy to openly engage in conversations on menstrual symptoms, however, they demonstrated a readiness to engage in discussions about menstruation with their prospective daughters.
Conclusions: The present study brings attention to the gender discrepancies in knowledge levels pertaining to dysmenorrhea among allied health professions university students of WB. Additionally, it emphasizes the influence of cultural norms on knowledge acquisition and communication around this topic. The statement underscores the need for destigmatization initiatives, comprehensive teaching on menstruation health, and fostering open communication within academic institutions and the broader community. The aforementioned findings offer valuable insights that can inform future educational endeavors and healthcare procedures within this particular subject.

This study aims to analyze and discover about Jesus' ignorance regarding the second coming. In addition, in writing this scientific paper, a description of the implications of this ignorance of Christology will also be included. In an effort to obtain these objectives in this study, researchers use The research method used in writing this thesis is a qualitative research method based on hermeneutic principles with a commonly used interpretation approach described by Hasan Sutanto. This approach focuses on the text of Mark 13:32. Next, the author uses data collection techniques through library research by using the Bible as primary literature and dictionaries, interpretations, books and journals as secondary literature. The results showed that Jesus said the Son did not know the second coming does not mean that He really did not know the coming, Jesus knew of the day but He limited Himself to not knowing that day at once this is a statement that man is limited, and as a Son He chose to obey the Father's plan for Himself in the first coming.

Aim. To investigate the peculiarities of the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants of Carlina L. species under different light conditions of in vitro cultivation and under natural conditions using the method of induction of fluorescence of chlorophyll a. Methods. Methods of in vitro plants cultivation, a method of inducing fluorescence of chlorophyll a in light-adapted leaves. Results. It has been demonstrated that in vitro conditions reflect the evolved light growth requirements of species. Our previously obtained results regarding a closer match of physiological needs of in vitro plants of the species of Carlina onopordifolia Besser ex Szafer, Kulcz. et Pawt. to light conditions of variant 1.1 have been confirmed. Based on the synthesis of the dynamics of photosynthetic pigment content and their ratios in in vitro plants of Carlina acaulis L., as well as key parameters of fluorescence under different cultivation light conditions, a conclusion has been drawn about the greater alignment of variant 1.1 with the needs of plants of this species. It is hypothesized that in natural conditions, plants of the species of C. onopordifolia and Carlina cirsioides Klokov undergo abiotic stresses, manifested in increased dissipation of light energy into heat and the processes of photo-inhibition. There is significant enhancement in electron transport within the light-harvesting complex and reduction in the efficiency of quantum yield and light energy storage by Photosystem II. The vitality index of these species in their natural growth conditions is found to be half of the commonly accepted optimum value and 1.97–2.96 times lower compared to experimental in vitro plant groups. Conclusions. The obtained results suggest the usefulness of using the chlorophyll fluorescence induction method for assessing the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus of in vitro plants of the genus Carlina.

Published: September 2023

Aim. To analyze the frequency and distribution of KIR genotypes in women with recurrent implantation failure after cycles of in vitro fertilization. Methods. DNA extraction and purification, PCR-SSP, agarose gel electrophoresis. Results. The spectrum of KIR genes and the frequency of KIR genotypes in women with recurrent implantation failure were determined. The study group was divided according to history, in particular, a group of 84 women whose diagnosis was outlined by the concept of "repeated failed implantations" was singled out. Statistical analysis of the obtained results using the Pearson test (χ2) indicates a significantly lower frequency of the KIR-AB genotype (χ2 = 9.7; p < 0.005) and a significantly higher frequency of the KIR-AA genotype (χ2 = 7.35; p < 0.01) in women with repeated failed implantations compared to the general group of women with reproductive failures. Conclusions. Taking into account the results of statistical data processing (OR = 2.05; CI 95 %: 1.21-3.45), we consider the KIR-AA genotype to be a significant risk factor for recurrent implantation failure after IVF. We define KIR genotyping as a genetic test to assess the risk of the embryo being rejected by the maternal immune system, and thus to direct medical interventions in order to achieve a successful pregnancy.

Published: September 2023

Aim. The purpose of this work was to test and compare the methods of storage proteins electrophoresis in acid PAGE and PCR with wheat primers for spelt samples and to evaluate their using for the identification of allelic variants of gliadins. Methods. Research was conducted on samples of eight varieties of Tr. spelta using electrophoresis of storage proteins in acid PAAG and PCR with allele-specific primers designed to the Gli-B1 locus of common wheat. PCR products were separated by 7 % PAAG, gels were stained with argentum (II) nitrate. Results. The possibility of using molecular markers to identify allelic variants of spelt gliadins was shown. Using PCR using allele-specific primers for the Gli-B1 locus, five alleles were detected, two of which were also described for Tr. aestivum species. According to the results of electrophoresis and based on PCR results, six allelic variants of gliadins, divided into two groups, were identified. Conclusions. Approbation of the PCR for the species Tr. spelta using allele-specific primers developed for common wheat, showed the polymorphism and the possibility of using primers to identify allelic variants of gliadins for spelt wheat. Compared to the method of electrophoresis of reserve proteins in acidic PAAG, the PCR method is much easier to interpret the results, but it does not allow to detect all the polymorphism obtained on electrophoregrams of reserve proteins.
Embodied learning made visible through line drawing
Authors: Jagell Elisabet 
Published: September 2023

Visual material in the form of video, still images or drawings can show parts of embodied learning that text cannot. Research ethics requirements pose a challenge in terms of making younger students’ multimodal learning visible, as the informants need to be anonymized, and this raises the challenge of how important information, such as gaze and facial expressions, can be shown. The ethical requirements exist to protect underage students, and to contribute with a scientific basis for teaching, practical and feasible methods are needed in which the students’ communication can be illustrated while ensuring their protection. This paper explores how empirical data from studies involving younger students can be presented so that learning can be visualized while respecting ethical guidelines. The reasoning regarding the methods presented in the paper can also be useful overall for the anonymization of visual ethnography studies, in which the interest is to present empirical data from video recordings so that embodied learning can be made visible.
Plant Pillars
Authors: Millberg Teresia 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
To sustain the idea of the design of a garden it is essential to look at the plant materials that they are constructed with. We as gardeners, do not use solid materials as our building blocks, we rely on malleable plant materials to build our design. The materials vary over the season, which makes them complex to define.
The impressions of a garden is experienced through the expressions of its aesthetics, and without solid documentation of the form, structure, colour schemes and more, it is difficult to form an understanding of the garden as a whole.
The essence of a design lies in the plant materials that the gardener crafts and arranges in a specific way to create an aesthetic expression. In my work I have developed a method for the craftsman (or –woman) where the intangible plant materials and the subtle/distinct effects of colour and form and their aesthetic values can be measured utilising the system of a plant catalogue.
How will we understand what makes a good and sustainable design if we don’t find methods to document and assess the aesthetics and the craftsmanship behind it?

Published: September 2023

Aims: Bakpia is a snack made from a mixture of mung beans and sugar wrapped in pastry and baked. Bakpia is a popular light snack consumed by the Indonesian community. This research aims to determine the shelf life of seaweed-filled bakpia and regular bakpia using the Accelerated Shelf Life Test (ASLT) method.
Place and Duration: The study was conducted at the Chemistry Laboratory of Pangkep State Polytechnic of Agriculture and the Chemistry Laboratory of Makassar Ministry of Labaoratory Industry from February to May 2023.
Study Design: The research design involved using the ASLT method to analyze the minimum quality limit at which the bakpia cookies product starts to be rejected by consumers. Samples of the product were obtained from a local mini-market that sells bakpia. The parameters observed were the initial and final moisture content during storage at 15°C, 30°C, and 45°C, as well as the texture before and after the bakpia cookies product was rejected by consumers.
Results: Estimating the shelf life of seaweed bakpia tausa and bakpia tausa using the ASLT method can use a degradation reaction approach (absorption of water content) as a critical parameter. The kinetic reactions of degradation (absorption of water content) of seaweed bakpia tausa and bakpia tausa follow the first order reaction. The shelf life of seaweed bakpia tausa and bakpia tausa uses the ASLT method through a different approach to the critical parameter of water content for each product. At storage temperatures between 15°C and 45°C, the shelf life of bakpia tausa is longer than that of seaweed bakpia tausa. The average shelf life of seaweed bakpia tausar at 30°C is 59.5 days while bakpia lausa is 64.8 days (more than two months).
Conclutions: The shelf life of seaweed bakpia tausa and bakpia tausa uses the ASLT method through a different approach to the critical parameter of water content for each product. At storage temperatures between 15°C and 45°C, the shelf life of bakpia tausa is longer than that of seaweed bakpia tausa. The average shelf life of seaweed bakpia tausar at 30°C is 59.5 days while bakpia lausa is 64.8 days (more than two months).

Published: September 2023

Background/Aim: There is limited research on bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (bystander CPR) involving athletes globally and in the Nigerian context specifically. The impact of age and gender of individuals on the knowledge of bystander CPR and attitude towards it is variable. This study aimed at assessing the associations of age, gender and years of experience as athletes with knowledge and attitude towards bystander CPR.
Methods: A national cross sectional study of Nigerian athletes covering 25 different sports was carried out. Four hundred and nineteen (419) athletes comprising 278 (66.3%) males and 141(33.7%) females with age range of 11- 49 years and mean age of 23.43 + 5.66 (SD) filled and returned the questionnaire that tested the associations of the participants’ age, gender and years of experience as athletes with their knowledge of bystander CPR and their attitude towards this life-saving procedure. In addition to descriptive statistics, the associations of their age, gender and years of experience as athletes with their bystander CPR knowledge and attitude were tested using the analysis of variance (ANOVA), while the significance level was set P < .05.
Results: Age of the athletes did not have any statistically significant associations with their bystander CPR knowledge and attitude towards it (P > .05). Male or female gender did not give any statistically significant associations with their knowledge of and attitude towards bystander CPR (P > .05), as well as their years of experience as athletes with bystander CPR knowledge and attitude towards the procedure (P > .05).
Conclusion: Neither age, gender nor years of experience as athletes of the participants gave any statistically significant associations with their bystander CPR knowledge and attitude towards this life-saving procedure.
