Materials management is a key component of supply chain management in public sector enterprises, especially in the steel industry. It entails managing the flow of materials while concurrently evaluating factors including demand, price, availability, quality, and delivery dates. This focuses on the necessity of thorough planning for effective material management and control. Small material input cost reductions can lower manufacturing costs and increase profits. The study aims to analyse the executives' perception towards the dimensions of materials management efficacy and also examines respondents’ demographic status. The results reveal that there is a significant association between demographic variables designation, education and experience with the dimensions quality, convenience, and cost while there does not exist a significant association with the dimensions time, quantity and human resource. The study develops a better understanding of the factors determining the efficacy of materials management systems in steel sector enterprises.

The common dermatophyte Trichophyton violaceum invades hair of the endothrix type by penetrating the cortex right above the hair bulb and surrounding the shaft below the undamaged cuticle. The current investigation aims to isolate and characterize secondary metabolites of T. violaceum and detect their effects In vivo. In this study, 52 (65%) out of 80 clinical specimens were positive for Trichophyton violaceum by both KOH 10% wet mount and culture. It has appeared that T. violaceum isolates can create a variety of secondary metabolites. Of these, one compound appeared in yellow with Rf. with a value of 14.2 cm in TLC plates compared to standard AFB1, named T. violaceum A (TVA) complex. The FTIR and GC-MS chromatography showed several possibilities for analyzing such secondary metabolites, but the most acceptable possibility is that the compound (TVA) may be acidic. The macroscopic and microscopic examination of rat skin sections showed pathological changes after three weeks of subcutaneous injection with this compound. This study represents the first study about the production of mycotoxins from T. violaceum.

Studies have focused on the issue of drought on one hand, and urban dynamics on the other, as prominent topics in physical geography for the former, which specializes in climate change, and human geography for the latter, which concerns field sciences. This research is part of a series of studies and specifically relates to a wetland area in the western plain, specifically Maamora Forest in the city of Kenitra. This research addresses three main axes: the first axis relates to human factors contributing to the reduction and deterioration of Maamora Forest over the past three decades and analyzes their impact on the forest. This is done by determining the development and dynamics of cork oak through remote sensing data, manifested in the analysis of aerial images from three different periods (1975, 1995, and 2022), complemented by field research throughout the period between 2022 and 2023. The second axis focuses on studying climatic data for the studied area, extending from 1987 to 2019. It highlights the manifestations of climate change, such as a decrease in annual precipitation and an increase in temperatures, and their impacts on the overall forest and specifically on cork oak trees. This is done using the LANG equation. The results indicate that the region has experienced four dry periods, accounting for 87.5% of the total 28 years, which range from 1987/1988 to 1995/1994, 1997/1998 to 2010/2011, 2012/2013 to 2014/2015, and 2016/2017 to 2018/2019. In contrast, the percentage of semi-humid and extremely dry years only accounted for 6.25% each, with an average duration of two years. The third axis relates to monitoring the effects of climate change on the forestry sector, specifically the Maamora Forest, through the use of modern techniques such as remote sensing and spectral plant and water indicators. It aims to understand the role of these technologies in spatial monitoring of factors and phenomena that negatively impact forest areas in general, and the Maamora Forest in particular.

Skin cancer is a condition that causes the formation of abnormal cells in the skin tissue. Every year, millions of individuals experience skin cancer. Skin cancer identification in its early stages is an expensive and difficult process. Currently, deep learning models have revealed promising results in automated skin cancer classification. The goal of this study is to identify benign or malignant skin lesion using the Internation Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) dataset and a concatenated model that combines two powerful Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, DenseNet and MobileNet. The ISIC dataset, which consists of a large collection of dermoscopic images, provides a valuable resource for training and evaluating skin cancer classification models. By concatenating the feature maps of DenseNet and MobileNet, the proposed model capitalizes on their individual strengths. The concatenated model is trained using a combination of techniques called transfer learning and fine-tuning, which leverage the pre-trained weights of the individual models and adapt them to the skin cancer classification task. On the test dataset, our proposed model finally achieves 93.75% accuracy, which is 4.69% higher than DenseNet, 3.13% higher than MobileNet, and 3.13% higher than the combination of ResNet50 and InceptionNetV3. The execution time of our proposed ensemble method is 49.48 min, and the execution times of MobileNet and DenseNet are 178.9 and 170.5 min, which are more than our proposed ensemble approach.

This paper aims to reconstruct the history of Sultanah Safiatuddin’s leadership in the Aceh Sultanate and analyze Abdurrauf As-Singkili’s involvement in supporting women’s leadership in Aceh. This paper uses historical research methods. The use of historical research methods in this research is carried out through five steps: topic selection, heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study show that the Aceh Sultanate in the 17th century underwent a vital change marked by the emergence of the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin (1641-1675) as a representation of women’s leadership in the Aceh Sultanate in the 17th century. During his 34 years leading the Aceh Sultanate, Sultanah Safiatuddin recorded some outstanding achievements despite the many serious threats. Many factors caused the emergence of the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin, and one of them was the involvement of scholars in Aceh, such as Abdurrauf As-Singkili, who gave full support to the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin. The support given by Abdurrauf As-Singkili to the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin can be traced through three steps as follows: (1) Abdurrauf As-Singkili was willing to publish the book Mir’at al-Thullab written at the request of Sultanah Safiatuddin. In Mir’at al-Thullab, Abdurrauf As-Singkili expresses a critical thought about the ability of women to be appointed leaders and judges; (2) Abdurrauf As-Singkili accepted the offer of Sultanah Safiatuddin to be appointed mufti or advisor to the Aceh sultanate with the post of Qadhi Malik al-Adil; and (3) Abdurrauf As-Singkili succeeded in stopping opposition groups that were anti- women’s leadership. The three supports confirmed that Abdurrauf As-Singkili recognized and strengthened women’s leadership in Aceh led by Sultanah Safiatuddin. This support became crucial for the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin because Abdurrauf As-Singkili had transformed into a political force owned by Sultanah Safiatuddin.

The objective of the present work was to correlate the expression of the PON-1 locus polymorphism, the concentration of the enzyme paraoxonase 1 in seminal plasma and the effect on post-thawing sperm viability in the pig. Nine ejaculates from 3 boars were used, to obtain seminal plasma; part of the ejaculates was centrifuged at 800 g/10 min; the material obtained was stored at -20°C until use. To freeze the semen, the samples were diluted 1:1 in commercial diluent (Magapor®) at 37°C and the temperature was gradually lowered to 16°C. They were transported to the laboratory protected from light, and kept at the same temperature in the laboratory for 24 h. After this, they were frozen using the glycerolation technique and a portion was cryopreserved by adding 20% of seminal plasma to the conservation medium and another portion was made without seminal plasma. The concentration of PON-1 was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The functional status of the plasma membrane was evaluated by chlortetracycline staining. The amplification of a fragment of the PON-1 gene was carried out by PCR and the identification of allelic variability by the analysis of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), with the enzymes HinfI and FokI, from a DNA sample of each individual. The results were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman correlation, with the use of statistical software (Statistica V10 for Windows). In electrophoresis of enzymatic digestion with the enzyme HinfI All the expected fragments were obtained, with the FokI enzyme a mutation was observed in one individual. No correlation was observed (R=-0.1, P>0.05) between the concentration of the paraoxonase-1 enzyme in seminal plasma and the observed mutations. As well as the concentration of the enzyme paraoxonase-1 in the ejaculates was 1.8 to 2.7 ng/mL and this had no statistically significant difference in the seminal plasma of the ejaculates analyzed (P>0.05). As well as with sperm viability in thawed semen (P>0.05).

Nine ejaculates from 3 boars were used, to obtain seminal plasma; part of the ejaculates was centrifuged at 800 g/10 min; the material obtained was stored at -20°C until use. To freeze the semen, the samples were diluted 1:1 in commercial diluent (Magapor®) at 37°C and the temperature was gradually lowered to 16°C. They were transported to the laboratory protected from light, and kept at the same temperature in the laboratory for 24 h. After this, they were frozen using the glycerolation technique and a portion was cryopreserved by adding 20% of seminal plasma to the conservation medium and another portion was made without seminal plasma. The concentration of PON-1 was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The functional status of the plasma membrane was evaluated by chlortetracycline staining. The amplification of a fragment of the PON-1 gene was carried out by PCR and the identification of allelic variability by the analysis of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), with the enzymes HinfI and FokI, from a DNA sample of each individual. The results were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman correlation, with the use of statistical software (Statistica V10 for Windows). In electrophoresis of enzymatic digestion with the enzyme HinfI All the expected fragments were obtained, with the FokI enzyme a mutation was observed in one individual. No correlation was observed (R=-0.1, P>0.05) between the concentration of the paraoxonase-1 enzyme in seminal plasma and the observed mutations. As well as the concentration of the enzyme paraoxonase-1 in the ejaculates was 1.8 to 2.7 ng/mL and this had no statistically significant difference in the seminal plasma of the ejaculates analyzed (P>0.05).

This study aimed to show the effectiveness of high-intensity training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity training (MIT) on glucose levels in obese adolescents. This research was a true experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. Treatment in the form of HIIT and MIT was given to the sample for four weeks. While the control group was not given any treatment. The Glucose Oxsidase – Peroxidase Aminoantypirin (GOD PAP) reagent tested glucose levels using a venous sugar blood test. The treatment was conducted at the Bung Hatta Ngawi Sports Center, East Java, Indonesia. This study used 45 obese male adolescents with type 1 body mass index of 25-29 kg/m2. Forty-five samples were divided into three groups, including 15 MIT groups, 15 HIIT groups, and 15 controls. The data analysis test used ANOVA using SPSS V.26 with a significance of 0.05. The results showed that there was a significant difference in glucose levels before and after the treatment (p=0.000). HIIT was better than MIT, with a pre and post-test difference of 33.35 (HIIT) and 23.20 (MIT) respectively. HIIT with a maximum intensity of 80% was the right choice as an alternative treatment for obesity during a pandemic. The results of the study can be concluded that HIIT was more effective in influencing glucose levels in obese adolescents than MIT.
本研究旨在展示高强度训练（HIIT）和中等强度训练（MIT）对肥胖青少年血糖水平的影响。本研究是一项真正的实验研究，采用前测-后测对照组设计。样本接受了为期四周的 HIIT 和 MIT 治疗。而对照组没有接受任何治疗。葡萄糖氧化酶-过氧化物酶氨基安替比林（GOD PAP）试剂通过静脉血糖测试来检测葡萄糖水平。治疗在印度尼西亚东爪哇的 Bung Hatta Ngawi 体育中心进行。这项研究使用了 45 名肥胖男性青少年，他们的 1 型体重指数为 25-29 kg/m2。45 个样本被分为三组，包括 15 个 MIT 组、15 个 HIIT 组和 15 个对照组。数据分析检验使用 SPSS V.26，采用方差分析，显著性为 0.05。结果显示，治疗前后血糖水平存在显著差异（P=0.000）。HIIT 优于 MIT，测试前后的差异分别为 33.35（HIIT）和 23.20（MIT）。最大强度为 80% 的 HIIT 是大流行病期间治疗肥胖症的正确选择。研究结果可以得出结论，在影响肥胖青少年的血糖水平方面，HIIT 比 MIT 更有效。
