Crab meat undergoes rapid microbial deterioration after death, placing it in the category of highly perishable sea foods (the Crayfish and lobsters alike) Thus, this affects its economic value. Drying is one of the techniques that will provide consumers with ready-to-use dried crabmeat to incorporate into daily meals such as soups, sauces, and so on. This study thus, investigated the drying behavior of the crab on thin-layers. A laboratory convective oven dryer was used as the heating source, on the temperature (range of 60 - 100°C) applied in a varying manner on multiples of 10℃. The layer thickness was about 45-mm. as with high moisture sea foods, the drying profile showed a typical falling rate period with no distinct constant rate period for all the temperature levels used in this work. Moisture loss (diffusion) data obtained from the experiments were fitted to three popular semi-empirical thin-layer models of Lewis, Henderson-Pabis, and Page, and their suitability was validated using statistical parameters such as Root Mean Square,( R2), X2 and RSME. This was done to select thin-layer model that would suitably describe the drying kinetics of the samples over the range of temperature levels chosen in this work. Consequently, the Henderson-Pabis model and that of Page model were taken to have reliably predicted the drying behavior of the samples at the chosen temperature levels.

One of the most important things on a motorcycle is the frame. The motorcycle frame is a structure that supports almost all of motorcycle components, such as the engine, front and rear suspension, fuel tank, and others components. The purpose of this research is to determine the cause of the failure of the motorcycle frame in based on actual conditions in the field. In this study, a case study was carried out on a sport-type motorcycle frame with 150cc engine capacity, using a trellis-type frame, and had traveled 10,000 km as indicated on the odometer. The results of the case study and analysis on the failed part, it was found that the main cause of the failure of the motorcycle frame or frame body was due to the bolt flange on the engine hanger having a torque below the standard. This happens due to consumers who make modifications and add accessories. So the torque below the standard or low torque causes the frame body to break as a result of the reduced rigidity of the frame body structure and also as a result of repeated dynamic loads on the welding area, which is included in the HAZ area, which is the weakest part of the welding joint. Failure or fracture can occur as a result of the continuous load received on the frame structure, resulting in fatigue failure. The failure also occurred at the low torque bolt flange earlier.

Purpose: To analyse demographic data, clinical presentation, intervention and management of Post COVID 19 Rhino- orbito-cerebral- mucormycosis (ROCM) thus improving the knowledge about the disease to provide timely and optimal care for favorable outcome. Method: A retrospective interventional study was conducted on 254 patients admitted in Mucor ward over a duration of 2 months (1st May 2021- 30th June 2021). Demographic data, detailed history, clinical parameters, diagnostic procedures, management and outcome were noted. Factors affecting outcome and mortality were analysed. Results: Mean age of presentation was 50.14 ±13.38 years with male preponderance (64.56%). 55.91% patients presented with ROCM symptoms within 14 days of onset of COVID -19 symptoms. 86% patients were diabetics, 76% had history of corticosteroid use and 27.55% received oxygen therapy. 40 % patients presented with orbital edema as primary symptom. Imaging revealed 28.34% patients had disease limited to the paranasal sinuses (PNS), 56.69% had orbit and PNS involvement and 12.99% had PNS, orbit and CNS involvement. All the patients were treated with Liposomal Amphotericin B and sinus debridement. Eighteen eyes underwent (7.08%) exenteration and 82 patients received Transcutaneous retrobulbar Amphotericin-B. At the time of discharge the final outcome of being alive and having stable disease was found to be significant in stage 2 patients with involvement of PNS and orbit. Conclusion: Awareness of red flag symptoms and signs, high index of clinical suspicion, prompt diagnosis, and early initiation of treatment with Amphotericin B, aggressive surgical debridement of the PNS, and orbital exenteration, where indicated, are essential for successful outcome.

Numerous studies investigate the deterrent effect of capital punishment on homicide levels, but no published study conducted to date focuses explicitly on the impact of capital punishment on terrorist activity. In addition, no research evaluates the possible deterrent effect of a mass execution. This study examines the influence of the mass execution of 47 terrorists by the Saudi government, which took place on January 2, 2016, on the frequency of terrorist attacks originating from within Saudi Arabia. Using missile and drone attacks that were launched from outside of Saudi Arabia as a statistical control variable, results generated in an interrupted time-series analysis show that the mass execution decreased the frequency of within-country terrorist attacks by approximately two attacks per month. Results further reveal that the Saudi military intervention in Yemen amplified within-country terrorist activity by nearly five attacks per month. These findings suggest that the use of capital punishment may prove to be useful in deterring terrorist attacks.

In-depth interview was conducted using semi-structured interview schedule. Data were transcribed and thematically analyzed using MAXQDA software version 2020. Results: Qualitative data analysis leads to extraction of 31 codes and the highest frequency of code was related to loss of internet connectivity. The advantages of virtual learning were flexibility, student centered learning, regularity and challenges involved inadequacy, financial burden & health problem etc. The recommendations were proper assessment, monitoring, training & adequate teaching etc. Conclusion: Virtual learning has many advantages and limitations too. If we take proper steps to resolve the challenges then it is a very good teaching method mainly during pandemic situation.

Different fabrics were prepared by plain weaving with the blended yarns made of etherified jute fibre in the ratio of 50:50 with cotton, rayon and polyester. The physical properties of fabrics from blended yarns have been compared with those of cotton fabrics made with the same calculation 30 tex yarns. The mechanical properties of these fabrics were determined to monitor their serviceability in practical use and to ensure their suitability as jute blended cotton and synthetic fabrics. The softness and handling characteristics presented by the blending length and flexible firmness of the blended fabrics were much more comparable to that of the cotton fabrics with the indented fabric structure. The strength properties of etherified jute blended fabrics showed that the durability and serviceability of these fabrics was not much less than that of cotton fabrics due to any stress and deformation during use. It has also been observed that the blending of etherified jute with cotton, rayon, polyester or any other flexible fiber improves the draping properties of the fabrics made from it and in actual use these fabrics have almost the same bright look and firmness of cotton fabrics.

The existence of corporate social responsibility is no longer a relevant issue in the midst of globalization. In fact, corporate social responsibility is a top priority for business leaders in all countries in order to build synergies between the business world and the community in which the company carries out its business activities. This study aims to (1) analyze the concrete forms of implementing corporate social responsibility at village credit institutions in Bali Province, especially on the social life of its customers, (2) analyze the legal basis for implementing corporate social responsibility at village credit institutions in Bali Province, (3 ) the extent to which compliance with the application and sanctions of customary law in realizing corporate social responsibility at village credit institutions in the province of Bali. This research case study uses an Ethnographic Research/Sociolegal Research approach and a statutory approach in a qualitative research paradigm at the Village Credit Institution in Bali Province. Respondents were determined using the snowbolling system technique for customers of village credit institutions and traditional leaders as well as the Hindu Religious Parisadha Council. Data analysis used qualitative analysis. The implementation of corporate social responsibility has generally been implemented in most of the Village Credit Institutions in Bali, but the orientation is more on increasing socio-religious culture. This obligation is prioritized over the existence of a traditional village/Pakeraman Village according to the embodiment of Tri Hita Karana, namely the harmony of life between others, the harmony of life with the Creator, and harmony with other creatures. This is a reflection of obedience to the implementation of religious law and local wisdom adopted as living law. This study recommends to legislators that the preparation of laws related to corporate social responsibility can adopt the local wisdom of the people of various ethnic groups in Indonesia. This local wisdom is reflected in community values that grow, live and develop in reality in society.

Soft tissue sarcomas are a rare group of malignancies which arise from smooth muscle cells. Leiomyosarcomas arising from anterior mediastinum is rarely reported in the literature. The current COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented havoc worldwide. It is also causing delay in diagnosis of other diseases. Herein we report a case of an elderly male who was managed as a case of COVID pneumonia and on follow-up review in post COVID clinic was diagnosed to have anterior mediastinal leiomyosarcoma and was managed with chemotherapy.

Anatomical illustrations have gradual changed since their inception. The pioneers of the field have initially used pencil drawings, followed by line illustrations, colored illustrations, two dimensional and three-dimensional illustrations, and it grew up to virtual reality. Recent studies have observed their benefit in teaching anatomy, especially for providing spatial orientation of various structures and complex topics such as middle ear, pterygopalatine fossa, where dissection cannot offer much comprehension. Drawing software such as Illustrator and Photoshop have revolutionized the image quality in anatomy textbooks. Adobe Illustrator comprises many useful tools to draw anatomical diagrams such as pen tool, pencil tool, paint brush tool, text tool. It has various paper sizes to choose and different formats of files to create vector-based images. The drawing hardware such as Wacom Cintiq, Apple iPad Pro with pencil enhances the experience with drawing software.

Background: Tear of the abductor mechanism is a well-known problem. Most of the published studies in that regard comes from the sport literature but little have been published about it in the THA settings. Abductor mechanism plays a crucial part in hip stability and limb gait hence an injury to it can lead to pain, weakness, and instability after THA. Objective: To review all studies reporting on abductor tear or insufficiency in Total Hip Arthroplasty and present the current state of literature on that. Methods: The Author completed an electronic database search of PubMed, EMBASE and PubMed Central to identify any studies reporting on Abductor mechanism and Total Hip Arthroplasty from the date of inception of the databases until August 2018. The author followed the PRISMA guidelines. The author extracted and summarized data from the identified studies. Only Studies published in the English literature and reported data on Abductor mechanism tear with THA were included. Results: 566 studies were identified. 32 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Tear of hip abductor in THA were reported to be between 11-25%. It was more prevalent in women, older age population with no association to comorbidities. There is no clear evidence that the incidence of abductor weakness is higher in lateral than posterior approaches, contrary to the popular opinion. Surgical reconstruction techniques for chronic abductor insufficiency showed good results in the short-term regarding pain and function. Conclusions: Abductor mechanism tear after THA is a known complication that should be considered in patients with substantial lateral hip pain, limb and weak abduction following THA. Repair of the abductors can improve pain, function, and limb in three fourth of the patients specially if identified and repaired early. Promising results have been published for abductor reconstruction procedures for recurrent or chronic tears in short term follow-ups but still lack the long-term results.

The implementation of inclusive education is a form of equal educational services between children who have special needs and regular children carried out in public schools. Therefore, inclusive education provider schools should be implemented properly which includes institutional, student, workforce, infrastructure, parental participation, and financing purposes. The purpose of this study is to describe and obtain an overview of the implementation of inclusive education programs in Lampung Province. The research method used was a descriptive survey with the principal respondent. Data collection by purposive sampling, instruments in the form of closed and open questionnaires to obtain free answers from participants. Data analysis techniques used descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that in general inclusive education in Lampung Province did not meet the requirements of the implementation of inclusive schools in accordance with the Law on Inclusion Schools, especially related to the still low role of parents of students with special needs, the unavailability of special assistant teachers, and the unmet fulfillment of facilities and adequate infrastructure.

Medicinal plants are most valuable source of different natural compounds and safer than the chemicals that directly used for the treatment of high risk diseases. The compounds that present in the medicinal plants are monoterpenes, flavonoids, and phenolics. The ultimate goal of the using of medicinal herbs are inhibiting the growth of the infectious particles that causing variety of diseases. Medicinal plants have been used in order to control the growth of infectious bacteria in as some of them deviling the resistance due to changing endearments for example, Enterococcus faecium and Klebsiella pneumonia. Many of the plant extracts such as N.sativa seeds have been used as natural booster for targeting the lethal pathogens and causing the cellular toxicities While, Commelina africana L and Elephantorrhiza elephantine that binds with living cells by damaging’s the membranes of the toxic pathogens. The production of the free radicals due to stress or any environmental conditions may increase the risk of damage to DNA molecules. These free radicals binds to the double binds of the DNA molecule inhibit their functions in order to replicate for further central dogma processing. It give rise the production of peroxyl radicals species due to consecutive attack to the DNA molecule.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most commonly-encountered entrapment neuropathy. The classic symptoms of CTS are numbness and paraesthesia in the first three fingers of the hand, which is commonly exacerbated at night. The diagnostic signs include sensory loss along the lateral aspect of the hand, motor weakness and wasting of abductor pollicis brevis muscle. Tinel’s and Phalen’s signs are elicited at the wrist. Methods: This is a prospective analysis of clinical and electrophyisologic study performed on patients that attended the rheumatology outpatient clinic of a tertiary institution. The primary patients of the unit and those that were referred to the rheumatology clinic on account of clinical features of CTS were included in the study. Excluded from the study were pregnant women and those with previous history of CTS surgery. Nerve conduction study was carried out on all patients with features of nerve compression at the wrist. Results: Sixty nine (69) patients out of 82 that presented with clinical features of CTS were diagnosed of CTS. Females constituted 84.1% (58) and males were 15 .9% (11). The most affected age group was (31-40) years. Diabetes patients had the highest presentation of CTS (42%). The classic history of CTS was reported in 33.3%, Paraethesia was observed in 46.4%, numbness in 44.9% while paraethesia and numbness together were reported in 40.6% of patients. Day pain and nocturnal pain was seen in 60.9% and only nocturnal pain was reported by 42.0%. Abductor policis brevis (APB) muscle weakness was found in 24.6% of patients while 11.65% had wasting of the muscle. Conclusion: CTS was fairly common among the rheumatology patients and diabetes patients were predominantly affected.

In this research, Al2O3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using facile chemical precipitation method as a photocatalyst. The synthesized photo catalyst was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized Al2O3was studied on the degradation of ciprofloxacin as a model pollutant in UV light irradiation by conductometry method. The experiments were carried out by varying contact time from 1- 5 hours and catalyst load from 0.5 – 2.5g. The optimum catalyst dose and contact time were found to be 1g and 1 hour respectively for the drug degradation. The result exhibited photocatalysis activity. The photocatalytic activity can be attributed to higher absorption of Ultra-Violet light by the synthesized Al2O3 that led to formation of a large number of reactive species. The Kinetics study of the photodegradation process was explained in terms of the modified Langmuir Hinshelwood model. The values of the kinetic rate constant (k) of the photodegradation were 8.0x10-3min-1 and 5.0x10-2min-1in the absence and presence of the synthesized photocatalyst respectively.
