Authors: Faris Raheem Mohanad , H Ali Shatha , M. A. AL-Nuaimi Ali , G. Shareef Laith 
Published: January 2023

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is accompanied by an increased risk for skeletal fractures. The causes are probably a mix of factors, including poor glycemic control, a higher risk of falling due to hypoglycemia, osteopenia, bone quality deterioration, and drug side effects related to bone fragility. Undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) is a protein generated by osteoblasts that affects insulin secretion and sensitivity. Methods: A total number of 47 obese (BMI ˃ 30) patients with confirmed type 2 diabetes were selected depending on the American Diabetes Association ADA criteria. The control participants were similar to the patients in age and gender, with a total number of 43 obese (BMI ˃ 30) and healthy subjects chosen from the general population. The selected subjects were grouped according to their serum vitamin D levels. Their blood specimen was used for assaying ucOC, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D3 levels by specific ELISA kits, and to estimate calcium (Ca2+) levels and inorganic phosphate (PO43−) via enzymatic colorimetric methods. Results: Serum parathyroid hormone and inorganic phosphate median (IQR) values were markedly increased in patients with T2DM when compared to healthy controls, whereas serum calcium and ucOC levels were lowered significantly in diabetic patients when compared to healthy controls. This was irrespective of serum vitamin D levels. Conclusions: Elevated serum levels of PTH and PO43− values in obese type 2 diabetic patients compared to obese non-diabetic controls were accompanied by a significant decrease in ucOC and Ca2+ levels, irrespective of serum vitamin D levels. Hence, serum vitamin D3 levels had no significant impact on levels of ucOC, PTH, Ca2+, and PO43− in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background: The objective of this study is to analyse the antioxidant in putat air (barringtonia racemosa) as an herbal to improve sperm quality due to cigarette smoke. Methods: An experimental study was conducted at animal laboratory, Faculty Veteriner University of Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. A total of 30 male rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into 5 treatment groups. Group 1 as a negative control (N) were not exposed to cigarette smoke. Group 2 as a positive control (P) were exposed to cigarette smoke. Group 3 as treatment 1 (P1) were exposed to cigarette smoke and 100 mg/kg BW/day of the barringtonia racemosa seed extract. Group 4 as treatment 2 (P2) were exposed to cigarette smoke and given 150mg/kg BW/day of the barringtonia racemosa seed extract. Group 5 as treatment 3 (P3) were exposed to cigarette smoke and given 200 mg/kg BW/day of the barringtonia racemosa seed extract. The cigarette smoke exposure was carried out in a smoking chamber for a total of 1 hour/rat, and the barringtonia racemosa seed extract is given orally once a day for 30 days. Results: The results of this study were analyzed by one-way ANOVA showed significant differences in the quality of the sperm group that received cigarette smoke exposure (p <0.05) compared to the administration of the barringtonia racemosa. Improved sperm quality was seen better with the administration of barringtonia racemosa 150 kg/kg BW/day compared with 100 and 200 kg. Conclusions: Antioxidants from barringtonia racemosa can improve sperm quality due to cigarette smoke.
Hybrid Pedagogies: Nurturing teaching presence in multi-modal learning spaces
Authors: O'Ceallaigh TJ , Connolly Cornelia , O Brien Emma 
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted teaching and learning practices, particularly those in Higher Education. Students and Educators are reflecting on their practices and experiences over the past 18 months and the demand for new modes of teaching and learning have emerged. One such mode is Hybrid-Flexible or HyFlex. Utilising a HyFlex model, teachers teach students at the same time face-to-face (f2f) and synchronously online through video-conferencing software while enabling other students to engage in asynchronous learning (Beatty, 2019). Each class and learning activity is offered in-person, synchronously, and asynchronously. An underlying principle of HyFlex is to ensure a cohesive, connected student experience and to ensure that no student is academically disadvantaged. While a HyFlex design enables students to choose whether to attend classes f2f or online, synchronously or asynchronously, it requires faculty to reconceptualize the learning experience and rethink student engagement. Designing, developing and facilitating multiple modes of participation in HyFlex is a challenging endeavour which calls for specialized pedagogical knowledge, competencies and skills (Ulferts, 2021). There is a need to prepare educators for the diverse set of multifaceted roles HyFlex presents, however, there is a dearth of literature which explores the pedagogies that integrate physical and virtual learning spaces in the HyFlex learning environment. This paper firstly defines HyFlex and examines its strengths and shortcomings with a particular focus on pedagogy. Universal design principles and instructional strategies are then outlined and the notion of presence in the HyFlex teaching and learning environment is considered. In particular, it considers the role of teaching presence and how it might be redefined in a Hyflex environment to ensure cohesive, coordinated quality provision.

Aportes de la Política Comparada y de la Metodología Cualitativa al análisis de Política Exterior Latinoamericana | Contributions from the Comparative Politics and the Qualitative Analysis for Latin American Foreign Policy Analysis
Authors: Sposito Italo Beltrao 
Published: January 2023

Crecientemente, investigadores latinos americanos están utilizando los aportes teóricos del análisis de política exterior para estudiar la política exterior de sus países(Rihoux, Ragin, 2009; Amorim Neto, Rodriguez, 2016; Schenoni, 2017; Casarões, 2018), avanzando en molduras que permiten examinarlas como políticas públicas. Sin embargo, se mantienen dos obstáculos para la generalización de hallazgos. A pesar de predominar la metodología cualitativa, todavía son pocas las publicaciones que justifiquen la selección de caso o que sitúen el caso elegido dentro de un universo más amplio. Además, falta la sistematización de una moldura teórica común a varios países latinoamericanos. En ese artículo, contribuyo para superar eses problemas de dos maneras. Desde las premisas de la metodología cualitativa, presento formas para situar casos en una población o para seleccionar casos para comparar. Con aportes de la política comparada, sistematizo la estructura y actores involucrados en política exterior en los sistemas presidencialistas multipartidistas latinoamericanos. Ilustro las propuestas con un breve análisis empírico para demostrar sus aplicabilidades.Palabras-clave: Análisis de Política Exterior. América Latina. Análisis Cualitativo. ABSTRACTIncreasingly, Latin American researchers are using the theoretical contributions of foreign policy analysis to study their foreign policies, advancing frameworks to examine them as public policies. However, two obstacles to the generalization of findings remain. Despite the predominance of the qualitative methodology, publications that justify the selection of the case or place the chosen within a broader universe are still rare. In addition, it lacks the systematization of a theoretical framework common to several Latin American countries. In this article, I contribute to overcoming these problems in two ways. From the premises of the qualitative methodology, I present ways to locate cases in a population or how to select them for comparison. With contributions from comparative politics, I systematize the structure and actors involved in foreign policy in Latin American multiparty presidential systems. I illustrate the proposals with a brief empirical analysis to demonstrate their applicability.Keywords: Foreign Policy Analysis. Latin American.

As relações entre o empresariado industrial e a integração regional nos governos do PT: da convergência de interesses às críticas ao regionalismo sul-americano | Relations between manufacturins business community and regional integration in Worker’s Party governments: from the convergence of interests to criticism of South American regionalism
Authors: Martins Pablo Dos Santos 
Published: January 2023

Este artigo abordará o relacionamento do empresariado industrial, representado pelas entidades Confederação Nacional da Indústria (CNI) e a Federação das Indústria do Estado de São Paulo (Fiesp), com a integração regional durante os governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). Através da análise documental, argumentou-se que os governos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva foram marcados por uma convergência entre os interesses do empresariado industrial e a orientação do executivo federal acerca da política externa brasileira (PEB), com sua ênfase na América do Sul. Em que pese a mesma orientação sobre a PEB, nos governos Dilma Rousseff houve uma mudança de postura do empresariado industrial em relação à integração regional e a defesa, por parte das duas entidades, de um reposicionamento da política externa a partir de uma menor ênfase na integração sul-americana e na política de orientação sul-sul.Palavras-chave: Integração regional. Política Externa. Mercosul. Abstract:This piece addresses the relationship between the manufacturing business community, mainly represented by the Federation of Manufacturers of the State of São Paulo and the National Confederation of Manufacturers, and regional integration with South America during the years the Workers' Party assumed office. Through documentary analysis, this research argues that the years when Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Workers' Party) was in office represented a convergence between the interests of the manufacturing business community and the Brazilian foreign policy, which had its focus on South America at the time. While Dilma Rousseff (Workers' Party) was the incumbent president and the foreign policy still had the same core, the manufacturing business community had shifted its interests and was no longer very supportive of a South American integration nor of a close relation between Brazil and other Southern American countries.Keywords: Regional Integration.

Paramedic practice in low light conditions: a scoping review
Authors: Hichisson Andrew , Wilcock George , Eaton Georgette , Taylor Laura J , Jolly Jasleen K 
Published: January 2023

Background: Paramedics undertake visually demanding tasks, which may be adversely affected by low lighting conditions. Aims: The study aimed to: identify difficulties paramedics experience carrying out tasks in low light; and establish occupational health standards and adjustments that may improve working practices. Methods: A scoping review was undertaken informed by a professional panel of paramedics recruited through social media. A meta-analysis was conducted assessing visual acuity under different light levels. Findings: Difficulty in driving and in assessing/treating patients under low light conditions were reported. Sixty relevant studies were identified for review. Visual acuity reduces with decreasing luminance, causing increasing difficulties in performing critical tasks. Conclusion: Visual function testing can assess paramedics' visual health and ability to undertake critical tasks. Adjustments may help to improve conditions. Regular occupational health assessments could identify paramedics who need support. Further research should explore levels of visual function and practical adjustments needed for safe clinical practice.

Abstract. Hasan V, Mamat NB, South J, Ottoni FP, Widodo MS, Arisandi P, Isroni W, Jerikho R, Samitra D, Faqih AR, Simanjuntak CPH, Mukti AT. 2022. A checklist of native freshwater fish from Brantas River, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 6031-6039. This study aims to provide information on the freshwater fish species composition of the Brantas River, the second-largest river in Java, Indonesia. All samples used in this study were the caught activities during Fish Resource Survey (form May 5, 2021 to August 20, 2022). Sampling was carried out in four stations of the Brantas River, representing upstream, the Karangkates Reservoir, midstream, and downstream. This work recorded 42 fish species divided into 35 genera and 21 families. Cyprinidae was the dominant family, comprising 12 genera and 15 species. According to the IUCN Red List, most fish species inhabiting the Brantas River have a conservation status of Least Concern (LC) or Data Deficient (DD), except for Rasbora lateristriata which is categorized as Vulnerable (VU). Genera Tor and Neolissochilus are rarely found in Javanese waters. We suggest that the conservation status of these species should be reviewed. Information on habitat use and ecological interactions of fish occurring in the Brantas River are needed urgently to make appropriate conservation decisions and plans. Therefore, we suggest that more collections need to be carried out in the studied river, as well as studies based on eDNA analysis and research incorporating both morphological and molecular data.

Abstract. Plena SNG, Indarti S, Widiastuti A, Putra NS. 2022. Identification of the root-knot nematode species associated with Carica papaya.Biodiversitas 23: 6212-6217. Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are important economic pests causing low production and yield losses in horticultural crops. Meloidogyne spp. is widespread and regarded as a major pest since they are found all over the world in a variety of geographic locations, most frequently found in tropical and subtropical climate zones. They are obligate parasites that feed on various plants, including papaya and other horticultural plants. They are root-galling in host plants. Many species of root-knot nematodes may be found in a suitable environment. Therefore, accurate identification of the root-knot nematode species in papaya plants is important for developing and applying control and management measures. Surveys and sampling of nematodes on papaya plants were performed at the Agrotechnology Innovation Center, Universitas Gadjah Mada, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and its surroundings. Identification was performed both morphologically (based on the perineal pattern of female nematodes) and molecularly (using root-knot nematode species-specific primers). The results revealed that the species of root-knot nematode associated with papaya plants was Meloidogyne javanica based on the perineal pattern of female nematodes, specifically the lateral lines. This finding was also supported by the results of the DNA amplification at 670-bp product using specific primers for M. javanica (FJav/RJav). Consequently, plant protection efforts will need to focus on minimizing M. javanica damage in papaya cultivation.

Abstract. Husodo T, Megantara EN, Mutaqin AZ, Kendarto DR, Wulandari I, Shanida SS. 2022. Short Communication: Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) distribution in the Cisokan Hydropower Plant, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 6247-6253. Globally, leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) can be found in various land cover types. Information about leopard cats is still low in Indonesia, especially in Java. Java Island has high human activities that impact leopard cats, such as the UCPS hydropower development area, a non-conservation area. The UCPS hydropower plant is in the upper catchment area of ??the Cisokan River as a tributary of the Citarum River. Although leopard cats can adapt to various land cover types, monitoring their existence is necessary. This study aims to reveal the distribution of leopard cats in the UCPS hydropower development area, Cianjur Regency and West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Sign survey and literature were applied in this study. Fifty-eight leopard cat findings were found in the UCPS hydropower area. Leopard cats were found in 16 of the 47 grids from 2012-2022. After 5-10 years, leopard cats still use the same area in certain areas to meet their needs.In eight of 16 grids, 50% of the grids used by leopard cats were habitats used repeatedly. They were most commonly found in shrubs (39%), riparian (20%), and pine plantations (15%). Leopard cats were located at 445-895 masl and are most commonly found at 400-800 masl. Leopard cats are found in the UCPS development area and Perhutani Land. After 5-10 years, leopard cats still use the UCPS development area, so the habitat still fulfills their daily needs. Further monitoring is needed to determine the ecological status of the leopard cat population during the construction and post-construction process.

Abstract. Elyana P, Pangastuti A, Nugraheni ER. 2018. The effect of adding coconut pulp resulting from Aspergillus oryzae fermentation in commercial feed on the growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Cell Biol Dev 2: 33-42. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) is one type of fish with the potential as an animal protein source. Quality feed, particularly feed containing basic protein nutrients, is required to increase fishery product production. Coconut pulp is one type of household waste with a relatively high nutritional content, particularly protein, and the potential to be processed into fish feed ingredients. Coconut pulp is initially processed through a fermentation process with Aspergillus oryzae (Ahlb.) Cohn, which is expected to increase protein digestibility. This study aims to determine the effect of adding fermented coconut pulp as a mixture in feed on the protein content and growth of Nile tilapia. This study used an experimental method called Completely Randomized Design (CRD). This study lasted 60 days and included four treatments containing fermented coconut pulp and commercial pellets. The composition of each treatment I, II, III, and IV was 75%:25%; 50%:50%; 25%:75%; and 0%:100%. Each treatment was replicated three times. Data analysis revealed that adding 75% fermented coconut pulp to the feed increased the water, fat, and crude fiber content by 25.72%, 20.36%, and 10.56%, respectively. In addition, the growth of Nile tilapia increased after they were fed fermented coconut pulp. The concentration of adding coconut pulp to the optimal feed for Nile tilapia growth and protein content was 25%. However, it is necessary to improve the nutritional composition of the feed to increase growth and meat protein.
