Effect of Different Steeping and Malting Regimen on the Amylolytic Activities of Some Improved Nigerian Sorghum Grain Varieties

Three Nigerian improved sorghum varieties were evaluated to ascertain how different steeping and malting regimen affect their amylolytic enzyme development. Steeping incorporated air rest and continuous steep regime for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn every 12 h. Germination was then carried out for four days before kilning at 50°C for 24 h. Grain and malt parameters were examined. Results obtained showed variations in the response of sorghum root length to steep regimen and time. CSR-02 gave maximum root length (3.32 cm) after 72 h of air rested steeping. CSR-02, Samsorg 44 and Samsorg 14 had germinative energies of 92.00 ± 4.24, 94.00 ± 1.41 and 96.00 ± 1.41%; germinative capacities of 91.00 ± 1.41, 75.50 ± 2.12 and 88.00 ± 2.83; water sensitivities of 6.50 ± 2.12, 13.50 ± 1.44 and 1.00 ± 0.41 respectively. TKW results were 29.73 ± 0.32, 33.85 ± 1.54 and 33.51 ± 0.41 kg for CSR-02, Samsorg 44 and Samsorg 14 respectively. Variations in the response of the sorghum varieties to various conditions of steep regime and steep period were also observed. Steeping for 48 h seems to be the optimum time for the development of Original Research Article Nnamchi et al.; AJB2T, 6(3): 36-43, 2020; Article no.AJB2T. 62245 37 amylolytic activity in all the sorghum varieties at both steeping regimens. Samsorg 14 gave the highest total amylase activity (355.44 μg glucose equivalents), followed by Samsorg 44 (278.08 μg glucose equivalents). Samsorg 14 also showed the highest α-amylase development (276.93 μg glucose equivalents). Air rest was found to be show greater effect on β-amylase development in all the sorghum varieties.

Physical-chemical and microbiological analysis of water from shallow wells in Imperatriz (MA), Brazil

The quality of groundwater from Imperatriz (MA) is little known. This work investigated microbiological contaminants (total coliforms and Escherichia coli) and the levels of 10 physicochemical parameters in 10 wells located in the urban periphery of the municipality of Imperatriz. The counts of E. coli and total coliforms were ≥ 1600 CFU mL in all the wells. Levels of chloride, sulfate, hardness and turbidity levels were below the maximum allowed for drinking water. However, levels of iron (0.46 – 1.75 mg L) and pH (5.02 – 5.92) were not in compliance with drinking water standards in all the wells investigated. The same was observed in relation to oil and grease in water (0.0 – 6.8 mg L), which were detected in 40% of the wells. Levels of nitrite (0.71 – 3.84 mg L), nitrate (4.16 – 13.52 mg L) and total dissolved solids (810 – 2060 mg L) were above the highest limit in 50%, 60% and 70% of wells, respectively. The acidic pH observed in all the wells makes them also unsuitable for animal intake and irrigation. The acidity and the high level of iron in all wells suggest that they are natural characteristics of the soil and the groundwater of the region. Contamination with nitrite and nitrate in some wells, as well as high counts of coliforms, may be related to deficiencies in basic sanitation in the area. The origin of oil and grease in the wells should be better investigated to avoid contamination of the water table.
Lines of Flight: a Deleuzo-Guattarian Exploration of Style as Resistance

Expanding critical scholarship on fashion, gender, and identity, this study aims to explore how dress and style can be used in a strategy of resistance through analyzing Chinese youths’ narratives about their appearance, personal style, gender, culture, and self. The study mainly draws on the philosophical ideas of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to engage with a research agenda, which disrupts the transcendent logic and challenges binarism and essentialism as the guiding approach to fashion studies. Inspired by Deleuze and Guatarri’s concepts of rhizomatic thought and becoming, this exploration works within the realm of post-qualitative research. The study develops its argument through tracing two lines of creative “becoming” or lines of flight emerging from the “molecular mapping,” pointing to the moments of rupture and deterritorialization: gender and style; the ethics of consumption and style. The findings demonstrate the subversive potential in dress which challenges normalcy and regularity as well as consumerism, highlighting the complexity, multiplicity, and heterogeneity of gender, fashion, and subjectivity. It advocates the creation of more inclusive spaces and potential socially just territories through fashion and clothing.
Nursing practice guidelines for needling of arteriovenous fistula/grafts: Beni Suef city, Egypt

Introduction: Vascular access is considering to the patient undergoing hemodialysis (HD) as his/her soul which indicating patient survival, moreover, vascular access can controlling, directing the dialysis regimen effectiveness. Cannulation techniques are crucial skills for nurses to minimize arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or graft (AVG) complications. Methods: A cross-sectional study was applied to assess vascular complications and related factors. The participants were 65 patients on maintenance HD therapy enrolled at the dialysis unit, central Ehnasa’ government hospital, Beni Suef City. Data were collected using developed questionnaires regard patients’ demographic data, clinical, and HD session characteristics, designed Nursing Practice guidelines for needling of AVF/AVG booklet. Results: Statistically, the results show the most common cannulation technique which was demonstrated is an area method (65%) and needle direction is retrograde with bevel up (66.2%). whereas, the significant positive correlation shows between the cannulation techniques and vascular access complication, duration of dialysis and complication during the dialysis session. Furthermore, the most common complication related to needling practice is aneurysm (44.6%). Conclusion: Following cannulation, technique guidelines will prevent potential complications, increase vascular access durability, and improve patients’ quality of life.
Presence and diversity of positive solutions for a Caputo-type fractional order nonlinear differential equation with an advanced argument

This article aims to construct the presence and diversity principles of minimum one or two positive solutions for a Caputotype fractional-order nonlinear differential equation (CFONLDE for short) with an advanced argument under three-point boundary value conditions (BVCs for short). Guo-Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem and Fixed-point index theory in cone spaces are used to analyze this article. First, the Green’s function of the corresponding boundary value problem for a linear fractional differential equation with an advanced argument has been established. Next, several essential properties of that Green’s function have been proved. Finally, in cone spaces, some novel presence and diversity principles of minimum of one or two positive solutions for a CFONLDE with an advanced argument are obtained. To support the analytic proof, some particular examples are included.
Caught between The Hague and Brussels: Millennials in Serbia on ICTY War Crime Trials1

Research on “generation Y” or “millennials” (born between 1980 and 2000) indicates a number of differences in values and attitudes which distinguishes this generation from “generation X” and the so-called “boomers” including: their working habits and higher valuation of leisure time, consumerism, and the relation to advertisement, usage of social media and the internet as their main social landscape.2 In this regard, the Serbian “generation Y” might not differ much from their peers abroad. They were born shortly before or during the war and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was a main condition for Serbia’s EU accession for most of their formative years. Although their knowledge is mediated through social encounters and the media, they do have an opportunity to look at the past anew, as they are perceived as generationally uninvolved in the wartime events. What do these young people know about the ICTY, about the wars in the 1990s, about war crimes and the prosecution of war crimes? How do they perceive the work of the Tribunal, how do they evaluate its legitimacy and its contribution to the process of dealing with the past? In legal literature on international criminal justice, the ICTY is often praised as having done pioneering work in ending impunity after the end of the Cold War.3 However, in the eyes of many people in the region of former Yugoslavia the Tribunal has instead done much injustice since its establishment in 1993. The lowest level of the ICTY’s perceived legitimacy is consistently detected in Serbia and Republika Srpska where the Tribunal has been considered as clearly biased against Serbs. To what extent do young people share this perception? Every year, the Faculty of Law in Belgrade organizes a prestigious oratory competition for students. In 2012, one of the victors was a freshman who delivered an inspired speech about the difference between law and justice. His chief example was the “Tribunal, which in spite of the reasons for its foundation, stands as synonymous with the lack of access to justice. ”4 His passionate speech denied the ICTY any legitimacy and was received well by his fellow law students, faculty and the audience. To what extent does this anecdotic evidence reflect general political attitudes and worldviews among Serb students? This article presents findings from six discussion groups with altogether forty-one students from different disciplines, studying in 2015 in Belgrade. We are not to generalize from discussion groups to general group attitudes, hence the discussions are interpreted as indicators of common values and orientation patterns of meaning.5 At the same time, students’ responses allow for at least partial insight into the sensitive parts of their current worldviews. Before presenting the methodology and results, we will briefly contextualize our research within studies on transitional justice and the controversial role of the ICTY in processes of dealing with the past.

High physical activity vs. quality of the trunk position and the efficiency of core muscles among young males

Introduction: Physical activity is considered to be one of the keystones of a healthy lifestyle and an indispensable condition for correct body posture. The purpose of the study was to check the body posture of young males with above-average physical activity and how the position of the trunk changes after extending the arms forward. The frequency and intensity of back pain among males in the study were also analyzed. Material and methods: The study involved 50 young, healthy males, whose high daily physical activity was confirmed by the IPAQ questionnaire. Body height and weight were checked, and BMI was calculated. The position of the trunk in three planes was examined using the ultrasonic Zebris Pointer system. The examination was performed twice: in the habitual standing position and in the position taken from the Matthiass test: standing position with the arms in front of the trunk (90o). The data was prepared in the Statistica v13 program. Results: The male participants were characterized by an incorrect depth of physiological curvatures of the spine and asymmetry of the position of the shoulder and pelvic girdles in the frontal plane. Extending the arms forward in a standing position resulted in flatter thoracic kyphosis, rounder lumbar lordosis and tilting the trunk backwards. Periodic pain sensation in the lumbar spine was reported by approximately 60% of participants. It was a mild pain that did not require painkillers. There were no significant relationships between the quality of the trunk position and pains in the lumbar region. Conclusions: High physical activity turned out to be insufficient to ensure correct body posture and efficiency of core muscles. Postural education should be a permanent element of health promotion programs aimed at increasing the quality of life.

Alternative therapies for children’s with autism spectrum disorder

Complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) are health care practices and medications that are not at all used by doctors. Complementary medicine is a group of therapeutic and diagnostic principles that are usually used together or along with conventional therapies. This is usually not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches. Integrative medicine is an approach to the medical care that combines standard medicine with that of CAM practices which are shown to be effective and safe. This type of medicine usually treats a patient's mind, spirit and body. Usually, these CAM therapies should be evaluated with the same long and careful research process used to evaluate standard treatments. The use of complementary and alternative medicine has a distinct role in treating several diseases. Various terms used to promote the CAM therapy (Figure 1). CAM is categorized into five major domains by the national center for complementary and alternative medicine (NCCAM) (Table 1).
Implications of Political Stability and Financial innovations for Sectoral Economic Growth of Pakistan

The economic status of a country plays an important role in the lives of the citizens of both developed and developing countries. With the rapid increase in population, every country is trying to find new ways to boost its growth rate so that it may elicit the maximum number of people from poverty and can compare other countries in the form of improvement. The main objective of the study is to empirically investigate the impact of political stability and financial innovations on economic growth. Furthermore, the study also analyzes the impact of subsectors (Agricultural, Industry, and Services) of the economy on growth. A time-series co-integration autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is used to investigate the general to specific sector's growth. The key empirical finding shows that political stability and financial development has a positive and significant impact on economic growth as well as its sub-sectors in the long-run. Trade liberalization has a positive impact on economic growth but most surprising results have been witnessed in agriculture growth for Pakistan.

Narrative Exposure Therapy Intervention and Management of Memory Intrusion Symptoms of Traumatic Stress among Young People in Kakuma Division, Turkana County of Kenya

Kakuma refugee camp is currently the home of 196,666 people who fled from their various countries due to civil war and organized violence. Young people form 20% of this population. These young people live with constant reminders of negative memories of their traumatic experience. Against this background, this study sought to assess the young people’s traumatic stress with the use of post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) tool. The study adopted narrative exposure therapy framework and intervention for traumatic stress management. The study used quasi-experimental research design whereby the researcher adopted a non-equivalent groups design. This design involved one treatment group and one control group. The study sampled 110 participants through multistage cluster and proportionate sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data with the aid of statistical programme for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. Independent sample t-test was used to list the statistical significant differences between the means in the pre-test and post-test scores for the groups. The researcher established that Narrative exposure therapy intervention was effective in management of memory intrusion symptoms of traumatic stress among young people in Kakuma division, Turkana County of Kenya.
Protection of Power System during Cyber-Attack using Artificial Neural Network

Impacts of frequency and voltage disturbance on an isolated power system caused by cyber-attack have been discussed, and a neural network-based protective approach has been proposed in this research work. Adaptive PID controllers for both load frequency control and automatic voltage regulator have been implemented using an artificial neural network-oriented by genetic algorithm. The parameters of the PID controller have been tuned offline by using a genetic algorithm over a wide range of system parameter variations. These data have been used to train the neural network. Three input switch has been implemented to control governor speed regulation and amplifier gain. For load frequency control neural network tuned PID controller mitigate frequency disturbance 48% faster than manually tuned PID and for the automatic voltage regulator, neural network tuned PID controller mitigate voltage disturbance 70% faster than manually tuned PID during cyber-attack.
Theoretical Considerations Concerning Hammett's Equation. IV. Calculation of ρ‐Values

The assumption is made that the effect of a meta or para substituent X on the reactivity of a reacting center Y in a compound [Complex chemical formula] depends only on the electron density change induced by the substituent in the atom at which Y is attached to R. Using this assumption relative values of Hammett's reaction constant (ρ) are calculated for a given reaction in several series of compounds having the above formula. The calculations require the computation of the electron density changes induced by substituents in the atom at which Y is attached to R. The computations are carried out by the semiempirical LCAO MO method for several cases where R and the benzene ring form part of a single conjugated system. The resulting relative ρ‐values are compared with experimental data. Reasonable agreement is found.
