The aim of this study was to estimate the size at first sexual maturity (Lm) for 36 species belonging to 24 families from the marine habitat of Balochistan and Sindh in Arabian Sea, Pakistan through maximum length based an empirical and logistic model using commercial catch during June 2020 to May 2021. Individual total length (TL) was noted up to 0.1 cm using measuring broad. The Lm was calculated using two formulae; (i) log (Lm) = - 0.1246 + 0.9924 * log (Lmax) for Elasmobranchs and (ii) log (Lm) = -0.1189 + 0.9157* log (Lmax) for ray-finned fishes. The minimum Lm was recorded as 10.27 cm TL for Caranx malabaricus and 108.38 cm TL for Isurus oxyrinchus, respectively. Around Lm with 58.33% species were ranges from 19.00 cm to 25.00 cm TL. This study was estimated 16 newly Lm which is globally absent and rest 20 Lm are absent in the Arabian Sea (Pakistan coastal habitats). Therefore, the results will be helpful for the sustainable management and conservation of these marine fishes through the establishment of mesh size of trawl nets based on the size at sexual maturity (Lm). Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar o tamanho na primeira maturidade sexual (Lm) para 36 espécies pertencentes a 24 famílias do hábitat marinho do Baluchistão e Sindh, no Mar Arábico, Paquistão, por meio de modelo empírico e logístico com base no comprimento máximo usando captura comercial, durante junho de 2020 e maio de 2021. O comprimento total individual (TL) foi anotado até 0,1 cm usando medição ampla. O Lm foi calculado por duas fórmulas; (i) log (Lm) = - 0,1246 + 0,9924 * log (Lmax) para elasmobrânquios; e (ii) log (Lm) = - 0,1189 + 0,9157* log (Lmax) para peixes com nadadeiras raiadas. O Lm mínimo foi de 10,27 cm de TL para Caranx malabaricus, e o máximo, de 108,38 cm de TL para Isurus oxyrinchus. Em 58,33% das espécies com Lm foram encontradas faixas de 19,00 cm a 25,00 cm de TL. Este estudo estimou que 16 espécies com Lm estão globalmente ausentes e as 20 espécies restantes com Lm estão ausentes no Mar Arábico (hábitats costeiros do Paquistão). Portanto, os resultados serão úteis para o manejo sustentável e a conservação desses peixes marinhos por meio do estabelecimento da malhagem das redes de arrasto com base no tamanho na primeira maturidade sexual (Lm).

Environmental contamination with heavy metals is a threat to the organisms due to their toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation in food chains. The study was aimed to assess cadmium (Cd) effect on calcium (Ca) level in bones of a freshwater fish Channa gachua. 42 fish individuals were kept into six (6) aquaria; labelled aq.0, 1, 2, 3,4 and 5 in the laboratory for treatment. Aq.0 was control group and aq.1, 2,3,4,5 were experimental with treatment solution of Cd 0, 0.1ppm, 0.5ppm, 1ppm, 2.5ppm and 5ppm respectively for three months. After exposure, bones tissue were examined for Cd accumulation and Ca concentration. Highest accumulation of Cd were recorded in aq.5 mean 46.86 ± 0.46 mgkg-1 .and lowest in the control group with mean 0.61 ± 0.06 mgkg-1. The order of Cd bioaccumulation in bones were aq.5 > aq.4 >aq.3 > aq.2 > aq.1 > aq.0. Highest concentration of Ca were noted in aq.0 (Control group) mean 7888.06 ± 4827.22 mgkg-1 and lowest were 1132.36 ± 203.73 mgkg-1 in aq.5 (at 5.0 ppm). Generally a pattern of decreasing Ca level were observed with each rise of Cd bioaccumulation aq.0 > aq.1 > aq.2 > aq.3 > aq.4 > aq.5. Current study indicated that Cd accumulation have substantial effect on Ca level in bones and hence on skeleton system. Strict rules must be implemented by government to control metals pollution and exploitations of biota. Resumo A contaminação ambiental com metais pesados é uma ameaça aos organismos devido à sua toxicidade, persistência e bioacumulação nas cadeias alimentares. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do Cd sobre o nível de Ca em ossos de peixes de água doce Channa gachua. Quarenta e dois indivíduos de peixes foram mantidos em seis aquários; marcado aq. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 e 5 no laboratório para tratamento. Aq. 0 foi o grupo controle e aq. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 foram experimentais com solução de tratamento de Cd 0, 0,1 ppm, 0,5 ppm, 1 ppm, 2,5 ppm e 5 ppm respectivamente por três meses. Após a exposição, o tecido ósseo foi examinado quanto ao acúmulo de Cd e concentração de Ca. O maior acúmulo de Cd foi registrado em aq. 5 com média de 46,86 ± 0,46 mgkg-1 e o menor no grupo controle com média de 0,61 ± 0,06 mgkg-1. A ordem de bioacumulação de Cd nos ossos foi aq. 5 > aq. 4 > aq. 3 > aq. 2 > aq. 1 > aq. 0. A concentração mais alta de Ca foi observada em aq. 0 (grupo controle) média de 7.888,06 ± 4.827,22 mgkg-1 e a mais baixa foi de 1.132,36 ± 203,73 mgkg-1 em aq. 5 (a 5,0 ppm). Geralmente um padrão de diminuição do nível de Ca foi observado com cada aumento da bioacumulação de Cd aq. 0 > aq. 1 > aq. 2 > aq. 3 > aq. 4 > aq. 5. O estudo atual indicou que o acúmulo de Cd tem efeito substancial no nível de Ca nos ossos e, portanto, no sistema esquelético. Regras estritas devem ser implementadas pelo governo para controlar a poluição por metais e a exploração da biota.

Introduction: Hallucinations are symptoms of mental disorders in which the patient experiences sensory changes in perception, feels false sensations in the form of sound, sight, taste, touching or shaming, the client feels a stimulus that does not exist. Objective: Knowing the application of individual therapy to auditory hallucination patients. Method: Quality research using the descriptive method of case study research. Results: Shows that with individual therapy, the patient can distract the patient so that he can control the hallucinations he experiences. Conclusion: That individual therapy in auditory hallucination patients can effectively control hallucinations. Recommendations should consider creating a new policy for nurses, particularly room nurses, to perform continuously to reduce the frequency of people with mental health conditions

The social and economic impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic are in fact very influential on the level of social welfare, including causing many people to lose their jobs so that it has the potential to increase the number of poor people. When the economy is weakening due to Covid-19, the only thing that can be expected is financial stimulus, which is government policy. The Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance Program (BLT-DD) is very helpful in encouraging public consumption. The aim of the study was to find out how far the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance is managed and the impact of BLT-DD management on Community Welfare in Gerung District, West Lombok Regency. The type of research used is field research which is a research mechanism using area exploration which produces descriptive information, in written form or information by people by looking at the observed research. This research was conducted by collecting data in the form of observation data, questionnaires, interviews and documentation. The research locations were taken by researchers in three villages namely: (a). Tempos Village; (b). Kebon Ayu Village; (c). Suka Makmur Village. The results of this study indicate that First, Direct Cash Assistance to Village Funds in terms of Identification of Beneficiary Groups is still weak, this is evidenced by the discrepancy in the distribution of Village Fund BLT at least 40% of Village Funds so that the number of KPM social assistance is reduced than it should be; Second. Management of Village Fund BLT distribution to poor families in villages in the form of targeting accuracy, there are still duplication of KPM recipients of Village Fund BLT who also receive other social assistance such as PKH and BPNT; Third, there are problems with receiving multiple NIK Village Fund BLT or invalid NIK; Fourth, there are reports from the public regarding the management of the BLT Dana Desa in 2021 in which the KPM is rotated to receive non-permanent social assistance for a year. For now, the distribution of Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance in the three villages has been running until the fourth quarter, namely January to December 2022; Fifth, the positive impact of the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance program can help the community's economy, including increasing the purchasing power of people affected by Covid-19.

Predisposing factors become the cause of violent behavior originating from clients such as lack of attention which usually occurs in childhood, having low emotional abilities such as someone who is easily angry, has anxiety disorders, depression, family relationships that are not going well, losing someone beloved. While precipitation factors such as hopelessness, helplessness, and lack of confidence. Interviews and observations are the methods used in this study. The attitude of nurses in caring for patients with violent behavior is included in the good category (82.5%) as evidenced by the score on the interview sheet. Based on the results of observations regarding the attitude of nurses in caring for patients with violent behavior, nurses have carried out in accordance with the theory based on the level of attitude as evidenced by the interview sheet.

Background: Work stress is a significant problem that affects physicians. Multiple sources can contribute to this problem. High-stress rates among physicians can manifest in various expressions, including cognitive, behavioral, and somatic expressions. Work performance and quality of medical care administered to patients can be undermined by over-stressed physicians. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of stress among physicians working in governmental health facilities in Dubai (2018-2019) and their relationship with socio-demographic and job factors. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study. This study population includes all physicians practicing in Dubai Health Authority hospitals and primary health care centers in the Year 2018-2019. Target Number is 1337 taken from the registry of Dubai health authority administration, but only 668 questionnaires were included with a RR of 49.9%. The data tool used in this study is a modified self-administered questionnaire from both validated health and safety executive (Barbaranelli et al., 2018) occupational stress and stress questionnaire by International Stress Management Association UK 2013. It consists of 22 items which were divided into demographic, stress indicators, factors, and other domains. They were distributed as hard copies by hand. Findings: The study concluded that 40.2% were more likely to experience stress, while 59.8% were most prone to stress. Furthermore, the study showed a strong association with different factors such as the role of managers, shift duty, and multi-task work. Conclusion: Work stress is a prevalent problem among physicians working at Dubai health authority. The stress is associated with factors: such as multi-task work, shift hours’ duties, time pressure, and the role of line manager. Implications for Occupational Health Nursing Practice or Implications for Occupational Health Practice: Healthier working environment will promote the well-being of its staff and ensure the proper delivery of care to the community.

A ring N is known as a right (left) SGmF – ring, if each simple right (left) N -modules are Gm – Flat. In this paper, we investigate characterizations of SGmF – ring. And from the results: 1. If N is a semi-prime, and right SGmF–ring, then the C(N) is regular ring. 2. If N is SGmF – ring, with every ideal of N is principal then: a. N is NJ iff N is feckly reduced, b. N is m – regular ring, if N is ZC ring.

In recent years, palm oil production has grown rapidly as a result of rising demand. Oil palm plantations have been established on thousands of acres to meet this demand. The objective of this study is to assess the suitability of oil palm production as driven by soil, climate, and land use. The land suitability assessment (LSA) method was adopted in this study. We use geospatial techniques of overlay mapping as a suitable land suitability assessment method, in which the evaluation criteria are recorded as superimposed layers. A land suitability map is produced by integrating these layers into a single layer. The method is also applied to delineate available areas for growing oil palm in Peninsular Malaysia. The findings revealed that suitable soil areas for oil palm production are extensively found in the selected regions of Peninsular Malaysia, in states like Selangor and some parts of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu with clay loam and sandy loam soil properties, while in the southern region like Melaka, moderate suitability for oil palm production was found due to the domination of clay soil in the area. Highly suitable areas were estimated (mean annual water deficit 400mm) for oil palm production as a result of poor water availability was 31104.00ha (0.25%). The Land Use Land Cover Map of Peninsular Malaysia revealed the suitable areas to cover an average of 10885001.46 ha (82.45%), water bodies 1239505.58 ha (9.39%), built-up areas (unsuitable areas) 1051544.34 ha (7.96%), and bare surface areas are also not suitable areas for oil palm production at 26509.73 ha (0.20%). This study recommends that oil palm plantations be expanded into areas with highly suitable soils and climates.

Oketani massage can stimulate the strength of the pectoralis muscle to increase milk production. Acupressure can increase endorphins, reduce pain, and make the body more relaxed. This study was to determine the effect of the combination of Oketani massage and acupressure on prolactin levels in post Sectio Caesarea (SC) mothers. This research was quasi-experimental with a pretest and posttest control group design. The study's results using the independent sample T-test analysis showed no difference in prolactin levels before breast treatment and a combination of Oketani and acupressure massage. There was a significant difference (p=0.002) in the treatment group after combining Oketani massage and acupressure for post SC mothers and prolactin levels after receiving breast care. This study showed a significant difference (p=0.002) in the treatment group after a combination of Oketani massage and acupressure for post SC was performed. In addition, there was a difference in prolactin levels in the treatment group before and after a combination of Oketani massage and acupressure with an average increase in prolactin levels, which was 151 g/ml (SD±101) (p=0.001). However, there was no difference in the control group. Oketani massage combined with acupressure can be given to post SC mothers.
