This study aims to analyze the values ​​of traditional education contained in the Mājar-ajar procession and examine its implications for the Hindu community's social, cultural, and economic aspects in Bali. The research method used is qualitative with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the Mājar-ajar procession contains traditional educational values, such as the teachings of tatwa (Hindu philosophy), susila (morality), and ceremonies (religious rituals), which are passed down from generation to generation. From a social aspect, this procession strengthens social relations, solidarity, and a sense of togetherness in society. From a cultural aspect, this procession is a means of preserving Hindu traditions and cultural identity in Bali through ritual symbols, performing arts, and religious practices. Meanwhile, from an economic aspect, this procession contributes to the empowerment of the community's economy through the tourism sector, creative industry, and trade in ritual products. The Mājar-ajar procession functions as a religious ritual. It has a strategic role in maintaining the continuity of traditional education, strengthening social and cultural structures, and encouraging economic growth based on local culture. Therefore, efforts are needed to preserve and develop this procession to remain relevant and useful in Hindu society in Bali.

This research aims to identify the potential of gastronomy as a tourist attraction in the Tourism Village of Sukorejo, Sragen Regency, Central Java. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. The results of the research show that there are three types of local culinary offerings in Sukorejo Tourism Village, namely Tepo, Wedang Uwuh, and keripik Trewolo, which can become main attractions for tourists. These three culinary products each have unique characteristics in terms of flavor, presentation, and cultural or traditional significance. Another gastronomic aspect is the use of local raw materials in their processing, which supports the sustainability of the production process. These three types of local cuisine diversify tourism offerings by making keripik Trewolo preparation process a tourist attraction in itself. This research is essential for maximizing local potential and enhancing Sukorejo Village as a more attractive and sustainable tourist destination.

Management of iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is primarily focused to remove, when possible, the underlying cause of ID; subsequently its treatment is primary focused on iron stores repletion. Ferrous sulphate (FS) remains the mainstay of treatment and it is recommended as the first-line treatment of ID and IDA in children as in adults by all guidelines of scientific societies. However the effectiveness of FS is largely compromised by increased adverse effects, poor compliance and discontinuation of treatment. A new oral iron source named FERALGINE™ (FBC-A) has been recently developed. This new molecule is a patented co-processed one-to-one ratio compound between Ferrous Bysglicinate Chelate (FBC) and Sodium Alginate (AA), obtained by using a spray drying technology. The data presented in this short review highlight the efficacy and safety of the treatment with FBC-A and support its use in adult patients with IDA. Furthermore the present review also provides preliminary evidence to suggest FBC-A as first-line treatment for ID/IDA in patients with celiac disease (CD) or inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

PurposeNasal irrigation is an effective method for alleviating several nasal symptoms and regular seawater-based nasal irrigation is useful for maintaining nasal hygiene which is essential for appropriate functioning of the nose and for preventing airborne particles including some pollutants, pathogens, and allergens from moving further in the respiratory system. However, safety studies on seawater-based nasal irrigation are scarce. In this study, the safety and efficacy of a diluted isotonic seawater solution (Stérimar Nasal Hygiene, SNH) in maintaining nasal homeostasis were evaluated in vitro.MethodsSafety was assessed by measuring tissue integrity via transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Efficacy was measured by mucociliary clearance (MCC), mucin secretion, and tissue re-epithelization (wound repair) assays. All assays were performed using a 3D reconstituted human nasal epithelium model.ResultsIn SNH-treated tissues, TEER values were statistically significantly lower than the untreated tissues; however, the values were above the tissue integrity limit. SNH treatment significantly increased MCC (88 vs. 36 µm/s, p < 0.001) and mucin secretion (1717 vs. 1280 µg/ml, p < 0.001) as compared to untreated cultures. Faster wound closure profile was noted upon pre-SNH treatment as compared to classical isotonic saline solution pre-treatment (90.5 vs. 50.7% wound closure 22 h after wound generation).ConclusionSNH did not compromise the integrity of the nasal epithelium in vitro. Furthermore, SNH was effective for removal of foreign particles through MCC increase and for enhancing wound repair on nasal mucosa.

A new method for data reconciliation, true on line error variance evaluation, gross error and leak identification, called PUMA (Pseudo Unknown Measurement Algorithm), is given. This adaptive algorithm has been tested by some simulated problem and has been successfully implemented in refinery power plant monitoring where it has been able to predict some leaks on refinery gas network preventing possible gas cloud partially confined explosion.

A novel series of stable analogs of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGdP) are described in which the biologically labile diphosphate moiety of GGdP is replaced by portions that can act as stable isosters. The compounds inhibited the geranylgeranyltransferase activity in whole PC-3 prostate cancer cells, as determined by the inhibition of post-translational isoprenylation of the small GTP-binding protein p21rap 1 and the accumulation of unprocessed p21rap 1 in the cytosolic fraction. However, the compounds did not affect the farnesylation of p21ras, as shown by protein immunoprecipitation after whole cell labeling with [3 H]-(R,S)-mevalonolactone. Despite the absence of effects of post-translational processing of p21ras, these compounds proved to be cytotoxic for prostate cancer cells, with half-maximal inhibition of cell growth obtained in the range 18.5-35.1 microM. The GGdP analogs described in the this study are novel, non-peptidic inhibitors of geranylgeranylation that may be active as antitumor agents.
