Water purification is typically carried out using chemical coagulants like Tewes. localname for Aluminum sulfate. In many parts of the world experts are looking into coagulantmaterials derived from plants. Among many of them is the Moringa seeds. Moringa seedscontain water-soluble proteins, when crushed and dissolved in water it will form a positivelycharged solution. Electrophoreses Test proved that positively charged solution were alsoresulted from the use of Salak seeds and Papaya seed. The purpose of this study was toanalyze the differences in coagulation using Moringa (Moringa oleifera), Salak (Salaccazalacca), and Papaya seeds (Carica Papaya).The study was performed in a quasi-experimental set up exercising a pretest-posttestdesign. The object for the study was water sample taken from a river used by the communityin kecamatan Krembung for their water source. As much as 1000 ml of river water was used ineach test run. Test containers were treated with natural coagulants. Coagulant materials usedin the tests were Tawas powder, Moringa, Salak, and Papaya seeds at a dose-series of 50 ppmto 1000 ppm. The resulted data were analyzed using Kruskal - Wallis Test.There was a significant difference with regard to optimal dose of the natural coagulantsas well as the percentage of turbidity reduction. The optimal dose for Moringa seeds was 130ppm with a percentage of reduction at 97,3% that reduced turbidity down to 2.7 NTU. Theoptimal dose for Salak seeds was 100 ppm that resulted in a percentage reduction of 89,2%and reduced the turbidity down to 10.9 NTU. The optimal dose for Papaya seeds was 50 ppmwith a percentage of decline at 83,4% reducing the turbidity down to 16,7 NTU. Moringaseeds coagulant has maximum turbidity reducing capability, while the other two naturalcoagulants, Salak and Papaya seeds, were not in their maximum levels of turbidity reducingcapabilities.At a dose of 200 ppm Moringa seeds exhibited a greater ability as a coagulant inlowering water turbidity compared to the other natural coagulants, Salak seeds at a dose of100 ppm and Papaya seeds at a dose of 50 ppm. The study concluded that Moringa seeds canbe applied as a substitute for chemical coagulants provided they are used within 1 x 24 hours.Key Words : Turbidity and Coagulant

Abstract Background One of the most important factors that affects breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusivity is breastfeeding support provided by the family. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of breastfeeding education sessions for primiparous women, with and without the attendance of maternal grandmothers, on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding patterns. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 64 primiparous women who referred to the Antenatal Clinic of Amiralmomenin Hospital, Tehran, Iran from June to December, 2018. Eligible pregnant women were allocated into two groups; either with and without grandmothers in attendance. Group assignments were determined according to the week the women had prenatal care at the hospital. All eligible women seen in the clinic during 1 week were assigned to one group and women who presented in the alternating week were assigned to the other group. In the education group with grandmothers in attendance, each woman participated in two prenatal education programs with her mother and one postpartum program approximately 3 h before discharge. In the other group, participating mothers attended breastfeeding education sessions without the grandmother’s attendance. The participating mothers answered questions from the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) at the time of the hospital discharge, and 4 and 8 weeks after delivery. Questions about the infants’ feeding patterns were asked by telephone contact with the participating mothers from both groups at the same time periods. Results The mean BFSE scores were signficantly different between the groups with grandmothers and without grandmothers at the time of the hospital discharge (60.15 ± 4.47 vs. 56.84 ± 6.22, independent t-test; p = 0.017), and at 4 weeks (61.71 ± 2.66 vs. 56.62 ± 9.12, p = 0.004) and 8 weeks after delivery (63.68 ± 2.14 vs. 60.03 ± 6.32, p = 0.003). No significant difference existed in infant feeding patterns between the groups at the same time periods. Conclusions This study suggests that breastfeeding education with grandmothers’ attendance is effective in improving the mothers’ breastfeeding self-efficacy. A family-centered program should be considered in beastfeeding education for increasing of exclusive breastfeeding.

Coagulants play a vital role in treatment of raw water for both human and animal consumption. Aluminium sulphate is the most common and effective chemical coagulant for water treatment. However, chemical coagulants are costineffective, toxic, are not eco-friendly and may also cause severe health issues like cancers and neurologic disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, natural and greener methods of water purification are crucial for safe and effective water treatment. Therefore, alternative natural and greener method of water purification is required. Seeds of Vicia faba, Cicer arientinum, Jatropha curcas, Vigna unguiculata, Zea mays, Vigna mungo etc. have also been used in water purification regimes. Moringa oleifera seeds contain anti-microbial properties and cationic water-soluble proteins (polyelectrolytes) which possess active coagulative properties that can remove the turbidity and heavy metals like Cu, Pb, Cr, Zn, etc from raw water, thus can treat impure water efficiently. Therefore, natural coagulants are preferred over chemical coagulants as they are feasible to use, affordable, eco-friendly and less toxic. This review provides explicit information on efficiency and use of M. oleifera seeds in water treatment and their relative comparison with that of routine chemical coagulants. Thus, further collaborative research (industry and academia) on the alternative greener techniques of water purification are still required to gain sustainability in water purification regimes in developing countries.

<p><em>Aedes aegypti mosquito is a type of mosquito that can carry dengue virus that causes dengue fever. This mosquito has the potential to transmit dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). DHF is a disease characterized by sudden fever, bleeding both on the skin and in other parts of the body and can cause shock and death. So in order to reduce the impact of the disease, there are several ways that must be taken. One way of controlling that is done to reduce the population of aedes aegypti mosquitoes is by reducing larval growth by using a solution of papaya leaves as larvacide. Papaya leaves contain tannins of 0.12%. So it is possible to kill larvae. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the average mortality of untreated instar 1 aedes aegypti larvae and treated with a solution of distilled papaya leaves, amounting to 0ml / 100ml (X0), 1ml / 100ml (X1), 2ml / 100ml (2) , 4ml / 100m (X3) with observations every 6 hours for 24 hours. This study is a true experimental study with the presentation of the data analyzed using the kruskal wallis test on spss. The results showed that there were differences between the control group and the treatment group (p &lt;0.05). The most significant difference occurred in the 4ml / 100ml (X3) group which had the highest mortality than the other groups. So the higher the concentration and the longer the duration of exposure, the higher the mortality rate in the larvae. </em></p>

Natural coagulants are proven to be a good alternative to conventional coagulants with the removal of various pollutants and are environmentally friendly. Despite its advantages, the least studies were carried out on local agro-wastes such as papaya seeds as natural coagulants concerning different operational factors. The study analyzes the main and interactions effect between the coagulant dosage, initial turbidity, and pH on deshelled Carica papaya seeds for turbid water treatment. A 2-level factorial design was used to investigate the main and interaction effects of the main operational factors, viz. coagulant dosage (50-200 mg/L), pH (3-7), and initial turbidity (100-500 NTU) on the turbidity removal of the synthetic turbid water. Based on individual performance, the results suggested that initial turbidity and pH are the most significant factors among the investigated operational factors. In combination, all interactions are significant, but the interaction between initial turbidity and pH is most significant, with 97.2% turbidity removal. Upon application of Carica papaya seed as a natural coagulant in water and wastewater treatment, these operating variables and their interactions are best to be considered.

BACKGROUND: Gum Arabic (Acacia Senegal) is a water-soluble dietary fiber considered to be safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration since the 1970s.Recent studies showed the therapeutic action of Gum Arabic.METHODS: It was Quasi-experimental study design. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of regular Gum Arabic ingestion as dietary supplement on accumulative blood glucose (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) among type II diabetes in Jabir Abu Aliz Diabetic Center in Khartoum. 49 type II diabetes were provided with Gum Arabic at the beginning of the trial and educated to add 60 g/day (divided into two portions 30 gm) to their meals for three months. Food consumption, BMI, and HbA1C were assessed for all the patients before and after the consumption of Gum Arabic for three months. Data was processed using SPSS version (20) and paired t- test was used to determine the effect of Gum Arabic on studied parameters.RESULTS: It showed that regular intake of 60 g/day of Gum Arabic for three months showed slight reduction in BMI for diabetes (no significant difference), and slight change in HbA1c (no significant difference). This may be due to the fact that majority of the respondents (60%) increased their carbohydrates intake in their daily meals because of winter, also respondents did not abide fully () to consumption of Gum Arabic, where only (32%) of the patients were fully committed to the consumption of Gum Arabic.

The approach used in this research is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental research design. The purpose of this study was to test the consistency and effectiveness of the instruction manual for determining the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle for students of SD 6 Mataram. To achieve this goal, tools and instructions for use were used in learning for the 111th-grade students of SDN 6 Mataram and divided into 3 classes. Because the research was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, the media was designed to be a learning video that describes the use of props, and their operational guidelines are narrated in the video. The video that contains the use of the tool is considered very in accordance with the instructions for use|| props. The results of the evaluation showed that there was no significant difference in the mean scores of the three pairs of classes (significance level 5% |t_h | < t_table = 2,0002). On the other hand, the completeness obtained by students in each class is >80% (KKM=70). This means that there is complete student learning about the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle. Thus, it can be concluded that the teaching aids for determining the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle and the instructions for use are consistently effective in helping students achieve complete learning on the material for the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle.
