The area space covered by the settlements of Kumba, Mutengene and Tiko have these characteristic landscapes and flooding events common but those of July to September August to 2022 were not only record breaking but somewhat enigmatic in nature. This study sought to make an in-depth examination of probable triggers of the hydroclimatic catastrophe. The study adopted the mixed research design combining both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Primary data on the dimension of the flooding scenarios, the drivers were obtained through empirical research methods of direct and indirect field observations of affected areas. Daily, monthly and annual climatic data were sourced from NASA satellite database, and analysed to obtain temporal rainfall intensities and distribution patterns. Change detection of landcover and land uses were established through GIS analysis of satellite images between year 2000 and 2022. Impacts of the flood events were obtained through an exploratory survey of the flood impacted zones. The results revealed the principal trigger mechanism of the cataclysmic floods of July and September 2022 to be the disruption of the natural balance of the landscape linked to combined effects over the years, of intensifying high rainfall concentration within fewer months of the year, and the heightened vulnerability of the landscape due to uncontrolled land cover and land use mutations that have coerced anthropic colonisation of natural water course ways, to the extent that indigenous adaptation measures as raised foundations and sand bag embankments were dwarfed by the flood waters.Far reaching consequences registered were destruction of communication lines, infrastructural facilities, arable and pastoral farmlands and landscape spoliation by landslides. The recommends proper land use planning and improvement of drains systems as the sustainable preventive panacea to such a situation.","PeriodicalId":13916,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Development and Research","volume":"77 5-6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72604075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The polymeric nanocomposites (NCPs) were obtained by the solvent dispersion method and, subsequently, the spray drying technique was used to obtain the material in powder form. The NCPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fluidity index (MFI), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential (PZ) and UV absorption spectroscopy ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis). The main results showed that the polymeric suspension obtained from the pulverized nanocomposites presented characteristics for potential use in coating apples and guava, such as high efficiency in absorbing UV-A and UV-B radiation and high stability of the formed solutions. Furthermore, the fruit coating test proved that the developed solution improved the visual characteristics and significantly delayed the degradation process of the analyzed fruits, proving to be effective in offering greater longevity to the food, reducing exorbitant losses and waste that strongly impact positively the economy and the environment.","PeriodicalId":13916,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Development and Research","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77464139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Physical activity level and sedentary behavior and associated predictors among university professors during the pandemic period by covid-19","authors":"","doi":"10.37118/ijdr.26749.06.2023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37118/ijdr.26749.06.2023","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Physical activity and sedentary behavior play crucial roles in human development and public health. Understanding the factors associated with these behaviors is essential, particularly in specific populations such as university professors. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of sedentary behavior and physical activity levels among university professors and identify associated factors. Method: This cross-sectional study included professors from two universities in Goiás, Brazil. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-bref) to assess physical activity levels. Sedentary behavior was evaluated based on the time spent sitting on weekdays. Sociodemographic, work-related, clinical, and lifestyle variables were collected. Descriptive analyses, chi-square tests, and logistic regression analyses were conducted to analyze the data. Results: Among the 152 professors analyzed, 62.5% were classified as insufficiently active, whereas 37.5% were considered active. Regarding sedentary behavior, 23% reported sitting for 6 h or less, while 77% reported sedentary behavior. Factors associated with physical activity levels included body mass index, presence of acute or chronic diseases, teaching time, sleep quality, and musculoskeletal pain. Factors associated with sedentary behavior included body mass index, teaching time, area of work, and alcohol intake. Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of insufficient physical activity and sedentary behavior among university professors. Several factors such as BMI, teaching time, and lifestyle variables were associated with these behaviors. These findings emphasize the need for interventions to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among university professors, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":13916,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Development and Research","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87624193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tooth extraction followed by alveolar ridge resorption is an unavoidable physiological process. The combination of MPE and DFDBBX is expected to primarily provide osteoconductive properties as well as strengthen the graft in order to stimulate new bone formation. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six Cavia cobaya were divided into two groups for 7-day (group A) and 30-day (group B) examinations, respectively. Each group consisted of twenty-eight animals that received four treatments. In each treatment, seven Cavia cobaya were used. The bottom right incisor was extracted. In groups AI and BI, tooth sockets were filled with 25 grams of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Tooth sockets in groups AII and BII were filled with 0.5 grams of DFDBBX and 24.5 grams of PEG. Tooth sockets in groups AIII and BIII were filled with 0.5 grams of MPE and 24.5 grams of PEG. In groups AIV and BIV, tooth sockets were filled with a mixture of 0.5 grams of DFDBBX, 0.5 grams of MPE, and 24 grams of PEG. Cavia cobaya's mandible was decalcified with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) at 7 and 30 days. During this time, histopathology (HPA) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests were also performed. Statistical analysis: The calculated amounts of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and FGF-2 expression data were used in the one-way ANOVA test. Results: FGF2 expression and the number of osteoblasts increased significantly after 7-day and 30-day of examination. On the other hand, the number of osteoclasts decreased. Conclusion: The combination of MPE and DFDBBX effectively increases FGF-2 expression and the number of osteoblast cells while decreasing the number of osteoclast cells on the alveolar ridge of Cavia cobaya.","PeriodicalId":13916,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Development and Research","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87889538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed qualitatively by the software IRAMUTEQ (Interface de R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires). The analysis performed by IRAMUTEQ selected words with p<0.05. The process of pre-testing the questions was carried out with pediatricians from the institution where the researcher works, to analyze the perception of these professionals regarding the applicability of the questions and their objectives in relation to the various questions about pediatric palliative care found in the scientific literature. The instrument was validated and 236 questionnaires were subsequently sent to physicians from the National Academy of Palliative Care, between July 2018 and December 2019, who worked with this care in the Brazilian child population. The bibliographic material was obtained by searching the Scielo, Lilacs, Cochrane and Pubmed databases for articles published until 2020, selected for their relevance in the scientific literature. Ethical recommendations for research with human subjects were followed. In pediatrics, the understanding of palliative care is often mistaken or incomplete when it is assumed that it is only applied in the final stage of the disease. Health professionals must provide this care not only to patients, but also to family members, even after death, in a multidisciplinary and personalized way. There are difficulties in implementing palliative care. In Brazil. It was possible to observe that health professionals have difficulties, resulting from different influences, which make communication and care with the child and their family difficult in relation to death. There are several influences that make it difficult to conduct palliative care and that need to be worked on in their fields by the multiprofessional team, together with the family, with a tendency to create a new culture based on the true meaning of palliative care.","PeriodicalId":13916,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Drug Development and Research","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76750047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
