EFFECT OF GUARDIZEN-M AS A PROBIOTIC ON SOME BLOOD PARAMETERS AND HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF SOME INTERNAL ORGANS OF NILE TILAPIA OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS

This work aimed to evaluate the effect of different dietary levels of Guardizen-M as a probiotic on some blood parameters and histological structure of some internal organs of Nile tilapia. The experimental design was completely randomized; a total number of 180 Nile tilapia with average weight 68±2.66g and total length 15.41±0.27 cm. were reared in 12 floating cages. The fish groups were distributed as four treatments and three replicates; a control group and three Guardizen-M treated groups (1g /kg feed, 2g /kg feed, and 3g /kg feed). All experimental groups were fed the experimental diets at a rate of 3% of the live body weight of the fish. The results of the present work revealed that no significant (P>0.05) differences were recorded in blood parameters except in glucose and alkaline phosphatase. Histological studies of liver and intestine indicated that increase epithelial height of enterocytes lining the intestinal villi with increase in acidic secretion of goblet cells. The intensity of the Periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) staining increased proportionally with the increasing of the concentration of probiotics in treatment groups in comparison to control. Alkaline phosphatase activity revealed a difference among three experimental groups in comparison to control one. Results of the current study concluded that reversal effect of probiotics considering the proportion of dose. The greater area of hepatic cells increased proportionally with an increasing of the concentration of probiotics and created a greater area of nutrient storage as observed in hepatic cells.
Elimination of Aflatoxins from Two Selected Nigerian Vegetable Oils using Magnetic Chitosan Nanoparticles

Abstract Activated charcoal and imarsil (local adsorbent) had shown significant Aflatoxin (AF) decontamination potentials in vegetable oil at a low AF contamination level of ≤ 9 ng/L. AF contamination in vegetable oils can be more than a hundred-fold of this. Therefore, it is needed to investigate the potential of other adsorbents at higher AF contamination levels. Magnetic Chitosan Nanoparticle (MCNP) was synthesized, and its aflatoxins extraction efficiency from two edible vegetable oils was investigated. MCNP exhibited extraction efficiencies of 82.80 – 100% and 94.87 – 100% in palm kernel oil and palm oil at the contamination levels of 579.6 and 964.6 ng/L respectively. Total aflatoxins cleanup of the palm oil and palm kernel oil was possible at 30 °C within 30 and 60 minutes, respectively, at the optimized condition of 4.4 mg/L MCNP. MCNP concentration, temperature of extraction, and contact time were significant (p 0.05) in palm oil. The results of the present investigation depict that the AF extraction efficiency of MCNP depends on the type of vegetable oil and that MCNP could be a credible alternative for AF decontamination of the investigated vegetable oil.

Policy Effect of the Public Health Clinic Closure and Consolidation Policies on All the Preventative Practices Following the Affordable Care Implementation in Louisiana

The purpose of this study is to examine the policy effect of the public health clinic closure and consolidation policies on public health preventive practices in Louisiana. It is observed in the literature that many governments’ efforts towards the healthcare market has being failing across different political administrations. This is because the current health care reform, public health clinics closures and policy consolidations following the implementation of the affordable care act seems to be disappointing in the state of Louisiana. Currently, many parishes, are battling with low health care professional’s availability, and high prevalence of poor health outcomes (i.e. high spread of STDs, high cancer spread, low accessibility to healthcare, and several communicable diseases) making all the public health interventions programs or initiatives look bad in the face of the policy reforms. However, it is not clear whether the policy consolidation and public health clinics closures are the causal factors to the high spread of diseases and health disparities across the parishes. As a result, this particular study used paired t-test and secondary source of data from the Department of Health and Hospitals and Integrated Public Use Microdata Series USA (IPUMS-USA) spanning from 2008 to 2019 to examine the problem. The study finds that the average Gonorrhea infection rate, and P&S Syphilis infection rate between 2014 and 2019 is greater than the average infection rate before the closure of the public health clinics (2008 and 2013). Above all, the study establishes that there is a strong evidence of significant difference in the following: (a) access to healthcare, (b) Sexually-Transmitted Disease (STD) Screening preventative practices, and (c) the participation of Breast Cancer Screening preventative practices resulting from the different periods of policy implementation in relation to public health clinic closures. Therefore, the study recommends that all the closures of the public health clinics needs to be reopen to ensure a greater access to healthcare and healthy population.

Mathematical stimulation for bioelectrochemical behavior of a dualchambered microbial fuel cell (MFC)

In this study, a steady-state bioelectrochemical model was developed to simulate the correlation between the acting overpotential and the produced current that is accounting for anode polarization. This study aimed to analyze the performance of a dual-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) equipped with two bio-anodes and fueled with real refinery oily sludge having a COD concentration of 13890 mg /L. Anode polarization data revealed a maximum current density of 6.07 A/m of the substrate at an overpotential of 1.83 V. In addition, the behavior of the experimental measurements revealed the dominance of the ohmic losses in the overall anode overpotential compared to activation and mass transfer losses, respectively. On the other hand, the suggested mathematical model was verified significantly by the obtained experimental data, achieving a determination coefficient (R) of 0.96. Actual sustainable energy was also obtained using the reductive decrease of anode potential (RDAP) and it was found that the sustainable energy for this corresponding system can be attained when applying 17.6 KΩ as the external resistor.

A quick solution to optimal coordinated voltage-control, based on dimension-reduction of power system via Modified Ward-PV

Voltage control and Voltage stability are the most important issues in the power system. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the emergency voltage control in power systems. One of the most important proposed methods to solve this issue is optimal coordinated voltage control (OCVC), which is based on the model predictive control (MPC). Time limitations for preventing voltage collapse is the most critical constraint to solve an OCVC problem. In this paper, the Modified Ward-PV will be proposed to reduce the dimension of the power system and consequently, the speed of solving problem is increased. In this method, immediately after occurrence a fault, the power system is partitioned to into three subsystems by spectral graph partitioning method. Partitioning is based on reactive power flow through the lines. The subsystems, which are far from fault, will be replaced by the reduced model. This method will drastically reduce the number of system equations and will boost the speed of solving problem. The simulations results obtained on New England IEEE 39-Bus System reveals that the proposed method acts more precise than dimension reduction of power system based on linearization of external subsystems, but the speed of solving problem decrease.

Empirical investigation into teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education: A study of future faculty of Qatari schools

Disabled students are capable of learning and growing equally to normal students, therefore the educational infrastructure of many developed countries is inclined towards an inclusive educational system. However, such students, unfortunately, are not treated well in developing countries where teachers’ attitudes are a key hindrance to an inclusive education system. This study assesses future faculty attitudes towards inclusive education in Qatari independent schools. A mixed population from Arabic studies, Islamic studies, English language, social studies, mathematics, and science sections of both primary and secondary programmes are selected from the College of Education at Qatar University. The Questionnaire of Attitudes towards Inclusion (QAI) is designed for populations of all genders and sections. Data are analysed statistically initially using the t-test and, later with descriptive statistics in SPSS software. The research findings suggests that future faculty show a positive attitude concerning with inclusive education. However, this attitude toward teaching special children varies which depends on the severity of disability and the nature. Further, teachers prefer to teach mild special children for instance those with learning disabilities. Additionally, the findings reveal no substantial differences in future faculty attitudes to special children in inclusive education with respect to gender or specialization. The study emphasizes the importance of academic and psychological preparation of teachers in Qatari independent schools to understand the nature of disability and motivate them to enhance their acceptance of children with disabilities.
Effect of drying methods on the physical properties of durum wheat pasta

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of drying methods on the physical properties of pasta. Pasta was processed from durum wheat semolina and dried at low temperature in a drying oven, at very high temperature in a convection-air oven, and under reduced pressure in a vacuum-drier. Pasta after extrusion without drying was referred to as control. Cooking properties, color, and textural properties of the pasta were evaluated. The results show that drying method had a significant impact on the physical properties of pasta. Vacuum-drying resulted in bright yellow pasta characterized by high hardness, low adhesiveness, high water uptake, and low cooking losses. The study results demonstrate the beneficial effects of vacuum-drying on the physical properties of pasta.
CHARACTERISTICS AND TYPOLOGY OF DAIRY CATTLE FARMING SYSTEMS IN WEST REGION OF ALGERIA

The aim of this study was to show the characteristics and to carry out a typology to define the different types of dairy cattle breeding in the state of Relizane, through an analysis of multiple correspondences, followed by an ascending hierarchical classification. The study was carried out in 73 dairy farms with 2,454 cattle including 1,432 dairy cows. The results show that 16% of farmers have not owned agricultural land, and that the utilized agricultural area of the surveyed farms is small on average to 7.47 ha, with an average fodder agricultural area of 3.9 ha which influences negatively on the feed self-sufficiency of farms and plays a preponderant role in poor feed management. The use of corn silage is practiced on 18% of farms. Breeders have an average cattle herd of 33.6 heads, 58.3% of which is represented by dairy cows. The racial composition of the cows is dominated by the imported breeds mainly the Holstein and the Montbéliarde with 57% and 34% respectively. The average number of human work units is 2.21 HWU/farm and in 47% of the farms the staff is exclusively family. The typology revealed six types of farms; these farms are mainly differentiated by the full agricultural area, the utilized agricultural area, the Forage area, the irrigated agricultural area, and by the cattle and dairy cow’s population.
Urban Poverty Incidence in Nigeria: A Study of Awka Metropolis Anambra State, Nigeria

This study examined poverty situation in Awka metropolis of Anambra State, Nigeria, using the P-alpha class of poverty measure. To achieve this objective, a structured questionnaire was administered to 399 heads of households selected from mixed socio-economic backgrounds. The study revealed that 49 percent of the respondents were considered to be poor, with 0.17 poverty gap index and a 0.03 severity of poverty index. However, the indicators were considered to be modest when compared with the national rates. The causes of poverty in Awka metropolis include: lack or inadequate supply of some identified basic necessities of life such as shelter, potable water, and sanitation, basic healthcare services, electricity and educational services. As a result of these inadequacies, there are psychological distress, increase in destitution, child labour, violent crime, and prostitution. It was therefore recommended among others that government should step up public investment in urban infrastructure, provision of credit facilities, involvement of the people in development decision that affects their lives or participatory budgetary process and most especially, good governance at the municipal level with accountability and transparency to stamp out corrupt tendencies which has inhibited past developmental efforts of the government.
