Investigation of Clinical and Diagnostic Features Associated With Cerebral Palsy Children in a Tertiary Health Facility in Nigeria

Background: Cerebral palsy is non-progressive motor disability syndrome largely attributed to abnormal development or damage from likely trauma in one or more parts of the brain especially the cerebellum and frontal lobe of the cerebrum that control muscle tone and motor activity and causing variable mental, motor and behavioral dilemmas generally referred to as delayed developmental milestone. Aims and Objectives: The study aims to investigate the gross features and clinical manifestation in cerebral palsy children in in cross-sectional patients in health facility. Materials and Methods: The study involved the use of 40 case files of cerebral palsy patients; 26 (65. 0%) out of them were girls, and 14 (35.0%) of them were boys, aged from 0 to 10 years old. Results: The main clinical presentation in this study was speech delay which was presented in 50.0% of the examined children, followed by delayed walking and movement in 25.0% of the patients. Analysis using records of imaging diagnostic tools showed that computed tomography has the highest case file with 70.0% due its availability and its cheapness compared to magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion: Children with cerebral palsy are best cared for with an individualized treatment plan that provides a combination of interventions tailored to each individual
Retrospective mortality assessment of Glossina palpalis palpalis collections from Ijah-Gwari field station, Niger state Nigeria

Handling and transportation of tsetse flies are fundamental for mortality assessment during fly collections. Previous works have indicated that tsetse fly mortalities increase with the rise in ambient temperatures. A seasonal mortality assessment of Glossina palpalis palpalis population collected from Ijah-Gwari field station was carried out based on the record as kept in the insectary of the Nigerian Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research, during the period between 2011- 2018; in order to determined fly mortality rates associated with handling and transportation of flies. Results indicated that whereas high percentage mortalities were recorded between 2016 (44%) and 2017 (57%); moderate mortalities were recorded in 2011 (36%), 2014 (29%), 2015 (19%) and 2018 (30%); while low mortalities of 10% were recorded in 2012 and 2013. Hot months of May (51%) and July (25%) gross mortalities contributed significantly to the increase in mortalities recorded in these years. The findings of this study show that extreme temperatures and relative humidity might be contributing factor of fly mortality. The handling and transport conditions might have sustained the high temperatures and humidity during transportation. Mean percentage mortality was observed to be higher in male (44%) than the female (33%) flies from Ijah-Gwari. The implication of this study as pertains salivary gland hypertrophy virus transmission is discussed.
Comparison of Nighttime With Daytime Evapotranspiration Responses to Environmental Controls Across Temporal Scales Along a Climate Gradient

Understanding daytime (ETD) and nighttime (ETN) evapotranspiration is critical for accurately evaluating terrestrial water and carbon cycles. However, unlike ETD, the factors influencing ETN remain poorly understood. Here, long‐term ETD and ETN data from five FLUXNET sites along a climate gradient in Northern Australia were analyzed to compare their responses to environmental drivers at different temporal scales. We found that (a) across the sites, mean annual ETN/ETD ( ETN¯ / ETD¯ ) ranged between 5.1% and 11.7%, which was mainly determined by ETD¯ variations. Particularly, vegetation and meteorological variables mostly controlled ETD¯ , while ETN¯ was largely related to air temperature and net radiation (Rn) due to lower nighttime atmospheric water demands; (b) At individual sites, ETD and ETN exhibited higher correlations with meteorological and vegetation variables at monthly timescales than at annual timescales. Monthly ETD and ETN were also strongly coupled, especially under drier climatic conditions. At daily timescales, leaf area index and soil water content (SWC) controlled ETD with SWC being more important at drier sites; whereas, SWC was the dominant factor controlling ETN. At half‐hourly timescales, the boosted regression tree method quantitively showed that ETD and ETN were controlled by Rn and SWC, respectively. Overall, the results showed that ETN was less responsive to environmental variables, illustrating that ETD and ETN responded differently to diverse climate regimes and ecosystems at varying temporal scales. These findings provide a critical evaluation for contrasting ETD and ETN interactions in constantly changing environments, which has important implications for ecosystem water balance and land surface processes modeling.
ANALYSING TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENTS’ SCIENTIFIC LITERACY USING PISA FRAMEWORK

The study aims to determine the scientific literacy ability of class IPA 11th grade students at traditional Islamic boarding schools using the 2015 PISA framework. Descriptive quantitative method used for this research. The research was conducted at two traditional Islamic boarding schools in South Tangerang called the Jamiyah Islamiyah Islamic Boarding School and the Madinatunnajah Islamic Boarding School. The research sample consisted of 57 students consisting of 33 students of the Jamiyah Islamiyah Islamic Boarding School and 24 students of the Madinatunnajah Islamic Boarding School chosen using a purposive sampling technique. The written test used is a test that distributed at PISA 2012 and 2015 which focus on two main domains of PISA 2015 scientific literacy, namely the domain of competence and knowledge. The results of this study indicate that the scientific literacy skills of students in Islamic boarding schools using the 2015 PISA framework are still "low" with an average percentage of scientific literacy obtained of 29.03%.
Mechanical and Fatigue Properties of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Prepared by RF-Plasma

Tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) of W-Ni composition was deposited from a blend of standard thermal spray powders using radio frequency inductively coupled plasma torch (RF-ICP) in a protective atmosphere. The deposit (RF WHA) contained a fully developed WHA structure; i.e.; spherical W particles embedded in a Ni-rich matrix. The bending tensile strength Rm; bending yield strength Rp;0.2; and elastic modulus of the deposit were compared with two W-Ni-Co references fabricated by powder metallurgy (PM WHA) via sintered and quenched (PMSQ); and forged and annealed (PM-FA). While the RF deposit properties are comparable with the PM-SQ reference; the PMFA exhibited higher mechanical properties. The deposit showed very limited ductility A < 3%. The fatigue crack growth rate in the deposit measured in bending (R < -1) was comparable to the PM-SQ reference material in the near-threshold region whereas the forged PM-FA had significantly better fatigue performance. In the near-threshold fatigue regime; the crack growth took place in the Ni-rich matrix. In the Paris regime; the similar fracture mode was observed; with the exception of PM-SQ; where the tungsten particles fracture contributed significantly. The static failure was exclusively trans-particle in RF WHA; while both PM WHAs failed by a mix of ductile matrix failure and trans-particle cleavage fracture. The fracture toughness of the deposit was significantly lower than the references. These early results indicate that RF-plasma spray is a suitable and efficient manufacturing method for production of WHA materials; however with limited mechanical properties in some aspects.
Forecasting Currency in East Java: Classical Time Series vs. Machine Learning

Most research about the inflow and outflow currency in Indonesia showed that these data contained both linear and nonlinear patterns with calendar variation effect. The goal of this research is to propose a hybrid model by combining ARIMAX and Deep Neural Network (DNN), known as hybrid ARIMAX-DNN, for improving the forecast accuracy in the currency prediction in East Java, Indonesia. ARIMAX is class of classical time series models that could accurately handle linear pattern and calendar variation effect. Whereas, DNN is known as a machine learning method that powerful to tackle a nonlinear pattern. Data about 32 denominations of inflow and outflow currency in East Java are used as case studies. The best model was selected based on the smallest value of RMSE and sMAPE at the testing dataset. The results showed that the hybrid ARIMAX-DNN model improved the forecast accuracy and outperformed the individual models, both ARIMAX and DNN, at 26 denominations of inflow and outflow currency. Hence, it can be concluded that hybrid classical time series and machine learning methods tend to yield more accurate forecasts than individual models, both classical time series and machine learning methods.
‘This Is the End’? An Ethnographic Study of Management Control and a New Management Initiative

Over recent decades, critical scholars have quite rightly warned of the control implications of new management initiatives. There is a danger, however, of treating control in a ‘distal’ way or as an ‘end’. Through drawing on proximal theorising, we make explicit what is often implicit in such accounts, which is that control is best understood as unfinished, in process, for it is inherently contingent and unpredictable. Viewed in this way, control becomes elusive as it always has to be achieved. The article draws on ethnographic research conducted in a back office of a manufacturing organisation to illustrate this understanding of management control. It highlights tensions between staff and management and between multiple layers of management that can thwart control.
The extreme pressure and lubricating behaviors of potassium borate nanoparticles as additive in PAO

ABSTRACT The potassium borate nanoparticles (nPB) as lubricant additive were prepared with an eco-friendly method. The tribological properties of nPB and ZDDP as lubricant additives in polyalphaolefin (PAO) were systematically evaluated using a four-ball tribometer and a SRV fretting friction and wear tester, which suggested that nPB exhibited excellent extreme pressure capacity, and better anti-wear and friction-reducing properties than ZDDP. Results of surface analyses show that the good lubricating properties and excellent load-carrying capacity of nPB in PAO are ascribed to the boundary protecting films, which were composed of some easy-shearing compounds: B2O3, FexBy and Fe2O3.
Is Investment in Preprimary Education Too Low? Lessons from (Quasi) Experimental Evidence across Countries

Many studies have estimated high rates of return for preprimary education provided to children between the ages of 3 and 6, yet coverage is not universal in high-income countries and is very low in low- and middle-income countries. This study uses a novel dataset of impact estimates from 55 (quasi-) experimental studies conducted around the world and meta-regression methods to investigate whether this preprimary investment is suboptimal. Average effect sizes suggest strong demand for preprimary services when offered and significant improvements in children’s cognitive (0.15 sd) and executive functions, social-emotional learning, and behavior (0.12 sd) during the preprimary period, with no significant differences between high and low & middle income countries. Estimates from a more limited set of longitudinal studies indicate persistence of advantages of 0.07 sd in each type of skills beyond the preprimary period, suggesting that investments in preprimary education can make primary instruction more effective. In studies that report separate effects for populations that vary in socio-economic status, disadvantaged children benefit significantly more on average from preprimary interventions. Lastly, benefit-to-cost ratios estimated for a subset of studies conducted in low- and middle-income countries range from 1.7 to 103.5. Taken together, these results imply high returns and room for improvements in efficiency from reallocating the marginal dollar in existing budgets toward preprimary education.

CHARACTER BUILDING OF HONESTY IN THE ACADEMIC DOCUMENTS OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUBJECT

This research examined the honesty as part of character building in academic documents of English subject in Vocational high school. Using content analysis, the researcher analyzed the honesty throughout the documents. The data was words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and the pharaprashing of them. The data was taken from Vocational High School’s documents used by English teachers of vocational school. The finding showed that honesty appears explicitly and implicitly. All the aspects of character building of honesty were stipulated in syllabus provided by the government. The indicators of honesty that appear in the lesson plan, learning material, and assessment of English language subject in vocational high school are integrity, academic honesty, and sportsmanship. Those indicators are addressed implicitly in the documents represented by sub indicators such as the prohibition to cheat in doing the assignment and so forth. However, there was no consistency across the documents because honesty indicators appeared quite low in assessment tools prepared by English teachers. This condition indicated that students of Vocational High School get the character building of honesty through English language subject because it was stipulated, and addressed in academic documents. This study proposed a possibility for teachers to improvise their assessment tools by inserting honesty indicators.
Facile isolation of a stable S6-symmetric methanol hexamer using the guest-free microporous metal-organic framework: zinc 5-tert-butyl isophthalate

Abstract The ordered structure of the guest-free microporous metal-organic framework zinc 5-tert-butyl isophthalate {Zn[(CH3)3CC6H3(CO2)2]} has been determined and shown to be easily loaded with methanol to form {Zn[(CH3)3CC6H3(CO2)2]}·CH3OH. The methanol forms a S6-symmetric hexamer within the pores of the material that is uniquely defined by the void space and exerts a subtle structural effect on the framework structure of the host. The work demonstrates the use of this type of metal-organic framework as a matrix to isolate unique molecular clusters in a facile manner.
Effects of Excessive Equatorial Cold Tongue Bias on the Projections of Tropical Pacific Climate Change. Part II: The Extreme El Niño Frequency in CMIP5 Multi-Model Ensemble

Under increased greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing, climate models tend to project a warmer sea surface temperature in the eastern equatorial Pacific than in the western equatorial Pacific. This El Niño-like warming pattern may induce an increase in the projected occurrence frequency of extreme El Niño events. The current models, however, commonly suffer from an excessive westward extension of the equatorial Pacific cold tongue accompanied by insufficient equatorial western Pacific precipitation. By comparing the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 experiments with the historical simulations based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5), a “present–future” relationship among climate models was identified: models with insufficient equatorial western Pacific precipitation error would have a weaker mean El Niño-like warming pattern as well as a lower increase in the frequency of extreme El Niño events under increased GHG forcing. Using this “present–future” relationship and the observed precipitation in the equatorial western Pacific, this study calibrated the climate projections in the tropical Pacific. The corrected projections showed a stronger El Niño-like pattern of mean changes in the future, consistent with our previous study. In particular, the projected increased occurrence of extreme El Niño events under RCP 8.5 forcing are underestimated by 30–35% in the CMIP5 multi-model ensemble before the corrections. This implies an increased risk of the El Niño-related weather and climate disasters in the future.

Building a science of motivated persons: Self-determination theory’s empirical approach to human experience and the regulation of behavior.

Self-determination theory (SDT) is a still rapidly expanding framework of basic and applied research, underpinned by a global network of scholars and practitioners. Herein we focus on one feature of SDT that helps explain its continued growth --the fact that it is a truly human science that takes into consideration our attributes as persons, including our capacities for awareness and self-regulation, as well as vulnerabilities to defensiveness and control. Within SDT these human capacities are studied using diverse methods, and across all sub-disciplines of psychology. In this review we focus particularly on people’s capacity for autonomy as it applies to their individual functioning, interpersonal relationships, and societal interactions. If there is a core legacy to SDT it is one of representing a generative and philosophically coherent framework based on a convergent network of empirical evidence with relevance across domains and cultures, and to our basic experiences and concerns as humans.
Crystal Chemistry and Structural Complexity of the Uranyl Carbonate Minerals and Synthetic Compounds

Uranyl carbonates are one of the largest groups of secondary uranium(VI)-bearing natural phases being represented by 40 minerals approved by the International Mineralogical Association, overtaken only by uranyl phosphates and uranyl sulfates. Uranyl carbonate phases form during the direct alteration of primary U ores on contact with groundwaters enriched by CO2, thus playing an important role in the release of U to the environment. The presence of uranyl carbonate phases has also been detected on the surface of “lavas” that were formed during the Chernobyl accident. It is of interest that with all the importance and prevalence of these phases, about a quarter of approved minerals still have undetermined crystal structures, and the number of synthetic phases for which the structures were determined is significantly inferior to structurally characterized natural uranyl carbonates. In this work, we review the crystal chemistry of natural and synthetic uranyl carbonate phases. The majority of synthetic analogs of minerals were obtained from aqueous solutions at room temperature, which directly points to the absence of specific environmental conditions (increased P or T) for the formation of natural uranyl carbonates. Uranyl carbonates do not have excellent topological diversity and are mainly composed of finite clusters with rigid structures. Thus the structural architecture of uranyl carbonates is largely governed by the interstitial cations and the hydration state of the compounds. The information content is usually higher for minerals than for synthetic compounds of similar or close chemical composition, which likely points to the higher stability and preferred architectures of natural compounds.
