The Short and Long-term Effects on Soil Stability of Active Sand Dunes from Filter Cake Powder Administered by Dispersal and Spraying Methods
Authors: Rutman-Halili Irit , Zvulun Tehila , Elgabsi Natali , Cohen Revaya , Sarig Shlomo
Published: August 2022

Active sand dunes (ASD) may cause significant damage to field crops and livelihood, and therefore, it is necessary to find a treatment that would enhance ADS soil stability. Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) contain microorganisms on the soil surface. Metabolic polysaccharides secreted
by biocrust cyanobacteria glue the soil particles into aggregates, thereby stabilizing the soil surface.
 Filter cake powder (FCP) is a waste by-product in the final stages of the production of sugar from sugarcane, and its disposal causes significant environmental pollution. FCP
contains high concentrations of polysaccharides, and has recently been shown to be a soil stability enhancing agent in ASD. It has been reported that adding FCP to the ASD soil surface by dispersal significantly increases the level of penetration resistance of soil biocrust (PRSB) nine weeks
after a single treatment.
 However, it was not known whether a similar effect could be obtained by administering the FCP in liquid form by means of spraying. It has now been found that spraying a water solution of FCP onto the ASD soil surface significantly increased the level of
penetration resistance of soil biocrust (PRSB) three weeks after a single treatment.
 These results suggest that FCP spraying can be used as a short-term soil stability-enhancing agent for ASD, while administration by dispersal might be more efficient over the long term.

Finally, an additional benefit of using FCP as a soil stabilizer, either by dispersal, or by spraying, is the reduction in environmental pollution that would otherwise result from the disposal of FCP solid waste.

Authors: Coxhead Averil , Rossiter Tim
Published: August 2022

In this talk, we report on a corpus-based study of vocabulary in the 1pm COVID-19 briefings in two ways across time (2020 and 2021) and between speakers (Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield). The first analysis focuses on the characteristics of the words in the corpus (e.g. risk, staggered, pandemic, motu and doffing) and vocabulary load of the corpus. The second reports briefly on single and multiword technical vocabulary (e.g. self-isolation, bubbles and MIQ) and highlights some complexities in undertaking such a study. Implications for teaching and government communications will be discussed.
Ersilia, a hub of open-source AI/ML models for drug discovery and global health
Authors: Turon Gemma
Published: August 2022

The Ersilia Open Source Initiative (EOSI) is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to
strengthen the research capacity in LMIC. EOSI is focussed on disseminating and deploying
artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) tools for drug discovery as a solution to
minimise the cost and number of laboratory experiments. The main asset of EOSI is the
Ersilia Model Hub, a free, online, open-source platform where scientists can browse through
a catalogue of AI/ML models, select the ones that are relevant to their research and run
online predictions without the need to write a single line of code. We gather, in a single
resource, two classes of models. On the one hand, we collect models developed by third
parties and available in scientific publications. On the other hand, we develop models in-
house and/or in collaboration with research groups that operate in underserved settings. In
this introductory talk, we will present our computational approach and infrastructure, with the
goal of identifying potential collaborations and synergies between EOSI and Kenyatta
University.
Naming in Two Modalities: Manual and Mouth Gestures in Hearing and Deaf Children
Authors: Fontana Sabina , Tomasuolo Elena , Gianfreda Gabriele
Published: August 2022

Studies on various sign languages have pointed out that some kind of mouth action co-occur in sign language utterances together with other body components. Although the consistency of such phenomenon has been studied in adult signing, no research has been conducted so far on the mouth actions occurring in the signing of school-aged children. In this paper, mouth actions will be described in a developmental perspective and paralleled with co-speech gestures of hearing children. In particular, mouth actions and manual gestures will be investigated in two groups of 10 bilingual Italian/Italian Sign Language (LIS) deaf and hearing children (from 6 to 14 yrs old) by using a naming task. The aim is to parallel quantitatively and qualitatively mouth actions and co-verbal gestures in order to understand their role with respect to sign and vocal naming. Furthermore, three adult signers were considered as models for understanding the typology and occurrence of mouth action in adult signing and compare it with children signing.

Published: August 2022

A construção civil está entre os setores mais importantes da economia brasileira e o crescimento traz toda cadeia de empresas ligadas a produção dos insumos e serviços. Consequentemente seu macro setor é responsável por um grande consumo de materiais, emissão de gases, uso de energia e água. Esse impacto reflete a necessidade de novos modelos de construção que fomentem a redução do consumo de energia, uso adequado da água, tratamento correto dos resíduos sólidos e uma menor utilização dos insumos naturais, sem deixar de lado o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida das pessoas. Atitudes sustentáveis devem ser tomadas em todo o tempo de vida útil da obra, desde a preocupação com a preservação do canteiro e gestão de resíduos da construção, ao uso de materiais de maior vida útil e extraídos regionalmente, visando minimizar a energia inclusa em seu transporte. A adoção de empreendimentos imobiliários que preserve o meio ambiente acaba por ser uma necessidade populacional, tendo como desafio engajar o setor público em políticas de incentivo e fazer com que os agentes econômicos e a sociedade conheçam os benefícios das construções sustentáveis.

Authors: Rashid Ammar Adil , Al-Husseini Rand Muhammed Abdul-Hussein
Published: August 2022

Lung cancer (LC) is one of the most incident malignancies worldwide. This study investigated the potential role of matrix metalloproteinase9 gene (MMP9) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Lung cancer patients. The study population was included 75 Iraqi patients with confirmed Lung cancer and 25 healthy people as controls. In this study, the -1562 C/T   polymorphism in MMP9 gene was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) technique. The genotype distribution results of the -1562 C/T SNP of MMP9 gene have shown no significant differences (p>0.05) between controls (CC: n= 15, 60%; CT: n=9, 36%; TT: n=1, 4%) and Lung cancer patients (CC: n= 44, 58.66%; CT: n=30, 40%; TT: n=1, 1.34%). Results of the association analysis between genotype distribution of the -1562 C/T SNP of MMP9 gene and clinicopathological criteria of cases such as histological grading, TNM staging and lymph node metastasis, had shown no significant association (p>0.05). While analysis of the association between genotype distribution of the -1562 C/T SNP of MMP9 gene and smoking status among patients were statically significant (p<0.05). These results suggested that the SNP in MMP9 gene was involved in lung cancer progression, tissue invasion and metastasis involvement.

Authors: AL-Masari Salih M. S. , Al-Obaidi Atheer B.
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of some biological methods for removing toxins or reducing the toxic effect of aflatoxin.  Initially, the genus Aspergillus spp was isolated from chronic lung infections, Sputum samples were collected from patients with chest and respiratory diseases who visited the consulting clinic, and the samples were subjected to direct microscopic examination and agricultural and molecular diagnosis using PCR technology. Aflatoxin B1 chemical detection also indicated the use of some poison detection methods, such as the ammonia vapour method, a kind-layer chromatic analysis, and high performance chromatography. The tested isolation gave the same result as the ammonia test for ultraviolet rays by changing the color of the inverted dish to red-carbon and expressing one isolation as a negative result of the test.
Using B.clausii to reduce the effects of aflatoxin B1
Authors: AL-Masari Salih M. S. , Al-Obaidi Atheer B.
Published: August 2022

In the experiment, a bacteria (B. clausii) was more efficient, with a percentage of inhibition of 58.03 percent, while a bacteria (B. subtilis) had a percentage of inhibition of (55.28 percent), so it was chosen in our study to test its efficiency as a probiotic to remove toxins in rats. So 12 rats were divided into four groups, each with three rats. The first group was the control group, which was given only food and water, and the second group was given (0.5) ml of aflatoxin poison for each rat. For each rat, the third group received (0.5) ml of B clausii suspension and the fourth group received (0.5) ml of B. clausii suspension + (0.5) ml of aflatoxin toxin) for 21 days. The findings suggest that B.subtilis bacteria have effects. By increasing the weights of male rats inoculated with B.subtilis alone and the group (B.clausii + aflatoxin toxin), B.subtilis bacteria were able to remove a large percentage of the negative effects of aflatoxin.
Study the Biaxial creep of continuous polymer fiber composites
Authors: Kadhim Ali Radha , Saeed Najem Abed Alamer
Published: August 2022

Creep is the slow continuous change in the dimensions of the engineering piece during the service.  The study of the creep is one of the very important things in order to avoid the disasters that occur as a result of changing the dimensions.  Since we are studying creep and its effect on engineering parts in various fields in which polymer or composite materials are used, and among these areas is the use of polymers and composite materials in dams, then we must choose polymeric materials carefully so that these materials must have special properties in terms of strength and rigidity.  In order to meet the required requirements in terms of properties, we chose high-density polyethylene because it has several properties, including its high degree of urgency as well as high inter molecular force, but this material alone does not meet all requirements because the polymer alone is not considered a successful material.  High-density carbon fiber and we got a composite material with excellent properties that are much better than high-density polyethylene alone.

Authors: Abd-Elwahed Hamada Ashry , Aly Thoraya Mohamed , Ali Ahmed Ragab , Khalil Eman Moustafa Mahmoud
Published: August 2022

Background: We developed a multicenter randomized observational trial to assess the effectiveness of letrozole monotherapy and the co-therapy of letrozole and gonadotropins on pregnancy outcomes including the ovulation induction, pregnancy rate, estradiol (E2) levels and endometrial thickness in infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).Methods:At three in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers in Egypt, we conducted our study since May 2019 until we have recruited the planned number of patients. Infertile PCOS patients were recruited after they met our criteria. We had two intervention groups based on the treatment regimen.Moreover, baseline parameters, outcomes, and hormonal assessment was conducted throughout the study period.  Results: We included 90 patients in this study and were equally randomized into two groups; the letrozole monotherapy (Group A) and the letrozole with gonadotropins (Group B) groups. The mean age was significantly higher in group A [26 (±3.5)] than group B [24.2 (±3.1)] (P= 0.015). Both groups showed resulted in similar pregnancy rates (31.1%) (P= 0.079).Moreover, group B [2.4 (±0.8)] resulted in a significantly higher (P= 0.023) mean number of follicles than group A [2.0 (±0.7)]. On the other hand, no statistical significance was estimated in terms of estradiol levels and endometrial thickness (P= 0.209 and 0.485, respectively).

Published: August 2022

Background: Dengue fever is the most widely distributed viral infection in the world with more than 100 million people affected. In this study we attempt to study the co-relation between the nadir of the plateletcount and the onset of warning signs (persistent pain abdomen and vomiting, mucocutaneous bleed or clinical fluid accumulations). A positive co-relation in between these two elements could help predict onset of shock and third spacing and facilitate prognostication and early intervention. Methods: We studied 82 patients with a diagnosis of dengue fever, the basis of which was clinical signs and symptoms with a positive NS1 antigen test. The nadir of thrombocytopenia and rise in transaminases were studied along with onset of various warning signs. Results: The nadir of thrombocytopenia correlates with onset of warning signs such as clinical fluid accumulation (two tailed P value <0.002) and mucosal bleed (two tailed P value <0.001). However, the rising value of transaminases does not co-relate statistically with onset of warning signs in Dengue fever. Conclusions: The age of patients ranged from 18 to 60 with 23 out of 83 (27.7%) being in the 30-40 years age group.

Postmodernism is an intellectual movement that characterizes by scepticism and fragmentation. Postmodernist writers return to traditional fairytales to question and challenge their norms and meanings. Shrek the Musical is a play based on classic fairytales of Rapunzel and Beauty and the Beast. Shrek the Musical will be studied according to postmodern techniques and strategies. They are many such as deconstruction and intertextuality. This play will be analyzed according to Kevin Paul Smith's method of intertextuality. This method traces the elements of fairytales in postmodernist literature and their unique alterations by using deconstruction theory that shows the false hierarchies and the false values upon which these classic tales are built.

Impact of cancer cell growth rate on the quality of life of animals
Authors: Alshehri Khulud Mohammed
Published: August 2022

It is widely known that cancer cells grow much more rapidly and cause pain, ultimately leading to a low quality of life for the patients in many different ways. How this effect can happen in the case of animals was tested using a simulation study on cancer in canines. Basic assumptions on differences in the growth of normal and cancer cells and pain, affecting the quality of growth and cell growth limits were set for the simulation. The results showed that cancer cells grow at least eight times faster than normal cells. The cancer cell growth was positively correlated with pain score. Thus, it was established that cancer induces pain. The pain score due to cancer was 4.8, representing moderate to severe pain, and that of the normal cell was 2.0, representing no pain. Since the pain was assumed to represent the quality of life in canines, it was concluded, cancer-induced pain leads to poor quality of life for canines under the simulation conditions. Some limitations of this study have also been stated.

The social trend in the poetry of Muhammad Hussein Al-Saghir
Authors: Al-Akayshee Fadhil Hussein Abdul Hasan , Redha Said Abdel
Published: August 2022

Social issues are addressed in literature because the writer's literature is based on social reality. In literature, reality is a perspective influenced by social reality. Moreover, it has served as literature's social mirror, reflecting the social realities around the author through interpretation and response. The researcher recognised the significance of this topic because literature and society have a profoundly intertwined relationship that does not produce any art in general or literature, particularly in the group, and because it is unclear whether a person is born with the ability to create art for personal enjoyment or to hear poetry alone. He was looking for social literature analysis. In poetry, Muhammad Hussain al-Saghir (Analytical Study of Social Literature). The researcher employed the library's approach for data collection, which includes reading and recording books and references and doing work connected to gathering, reading, recording, and evaluating library-based data. The researcher employed descriptive-qualitative methodologies for the data analysis. For this investigation, the researcher was going to look at more than one thing, so comparison methods were also used. After doing this study, the researcher concluded that Muhammad Hussain al-Poetry Saghir's significantly influenced his cultural and literary output.

Published: August 2022

MicroRNAs são pequenos fragmentos de RNA, incapazes de codificar proteínas e que participam da regulação pós-transcricional da expressão gênica ao se ligarem em sequências do RNA-mensageiro alvo, induzindo a degradação ou prevenindo a tradução destas sequências. A comprovação de estudos recentes de que alguns microRNAs possam estar envolvidos com a expressão de transportador associado a processamento de antígenos (TAP)-1, pode ser mais um passo no entendimento de diversos mecanismos patológicos como o câncer, por exemplo, auxiliando, assim, em imunoterapias mais eficientes. Dependendo da célula-alvo, os microRNAs são capazes de influenciar diversas etapas da formação tumoral, desde a metástase, progressão da doença, até a frequência de infiltração de células imunes no ambiente tumoral. Essas moléculas também parecem estar envolvidas nos mecanismos de escape imunológico. O objetivo deste artigo foi buscar na literatura a relação entre os microRNAs e a expressão da proteína TAP, descrever a função dessas moléculas, especialmente em patologias como o câncer, sua influência nos mecanismos de evasão imunológica e suas possíveis contribuições para o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias terapêuticas e diagnósticas.
Nativization of English among L2 learners
Authors: Epoge Napoleon
Published: August 2022

In the discussion of Postcolonial Englishes, Cameroon English is a well-known variety, yet many of its features have not been fully described. One of these features is adverbs and their syntactic positioning. Hence, the present paper aims to show that the input-oriented feature specifications of adverbs and their syntactic positioning have undergone certain innovation processes in Cameroon English. These innovations include placement of adverbials to permit the SVAO information structure, employment of adjectives ending in -ly as adverbs, formation of adverbs from nouns by adding the suffix –ly, substitution of adjectives for adverbs, placement of adverbials after the verb in verb + long object clause, placement of an adverb modifying a participle after the word it modifies, and placement of adverbials of time between the subject and verb. The paper argues that the motivation behind novel adverbs as well as novel syntactic positioning of adverbs stems from the co-existence of English and many other languages in the linguistic ecology of Cameroon. The innovations can be codified into a variety-specific grammar of Cameroon English in its construction and semiotization of Cameroonians’ sense of socio-cultural and linguistic identity.
Teachers Adapting to Curricular Change: Basis for Teacher Education Curriculum Review
Authors:   Bataan Peninsula State University Orani, Bataan, Philippines, T. Bongco Roxanne , M. De Guzman Digna

Implementing the flexible mode of instruction at all levels is a challenge to the educational system, especially to teachers who deliver subjects that are highly skill-based. This two-phase study investigated the strategies that enabled teachers to adapt to curricular change. Phase one of the study involved a phenomenological inquiry into the new demands of flexible delivery of TLE/TVL among secondary level teachers in the Philippines and the competencies that enabled them to meet these emerging demands. Data were gathered through semi-structured individual interviews with five teachers at the secondary level. Phase two of the study utilized the preliminary findings to review how the new teacher education curricula for TLE/TVL promote the necessary competencies to train teachers who are adaptable to curriculum change. Findings revealed that flexible learning modes demand teachers to explore creative and resourceful ways of delivering the same core practices such as teaching, assessment, and establishing connections with clients and stakeholders. Teachers meet these challenges through a combination of institutional training, resources, and personal learning initiatives. Further, opportunities to develop the competencies that teachers need to adapt to the curricular change are provided in the new teacher education curriculum. With the importance of self-learning and expansion of research skills development in the TLE/TVL teacher education curricula was then recommended.

Published: August 2022

Aim: To find out the incidence of difficult airway and which parameter will be suitable to predict it in sikkimese population.
Material and methods: This is observational single blinded study was done on 500 patients between 18 to 65 years of age coming for surgery under general anaesthesia . The airway parameters assessed were Modified Mallampati test (MMP), Inter incisor gap (IG), Thyromental distance (TMD), Sternomental distance (SMD) and Mandibular protrusion (MP) along with demographic characteristics. Then difficult intubation was graded according to the CormackLehane classification and was compared with above mentioned parameters.
Result: 86 patients had difficult intubation with incidence of 17.20%. Gender and different ethnicity showed significant association. MMP, TMD and among combination test MMP+TMD, MMP+SMD was found to be statistically significant. Maximum AUC of ROC curve was seen in TMD (0.65) followed by MMP+TMD (0.615). The Mandibular protrusion has highest sensitivity (100%). The MMP showed least sensitivity (27.91%) but highest specificity (93%), PPV (45.3%) and diagnostic accuracy (81.8%). The sensitivity for MMP was found to be increased in combined parameters MMP+ SMD (73.26%), MMP + TMD (55.81%).
Conclusion: Its better to use combination of test to predict difficult airway. TMD, MMP+TMD and MMP+SMD can be used.

Published: August 2022

Background; Limb Deficiencies syndrome (LDS) is a spectrum of abnormalities that is present at birth. LDS are missing or incomplete limbs at birth. LDS can be Longitudinal (more common), or transverse deficiencies that involve specific mal developments. Splint hand foot malformation (SHFM) is one of the images of these deficiencies. LDS has been reported in conjunction with more than 75 genetic syndromes. Objective; We reported the conflicting images of these two rare malformations to claim knowledge about the presentation, having features of both, critically associated anomalies, and the workup consideration with the treatment options. Presentation; CASE 1: a 2-day-old female neonate born at full term through Cesarean delivery at 37th week of gestation, presented with persistent cloaca. The patient was noted to have deformities resembling a “lobster claw” to both her feet, and each hand had only a single-digit, the foot may not have all five toes; the right leg is shorter than the other (a leg length discrepancy) with stable hips. CASE 2: a 37-week gestation male infant was born via cesarean section to a 32-year-old mother (consanguineous marriage). A routine prenatal ultrasound study revealed images of relatively undeveloped limbs and pelvic bones with an accumulation of spinal fluid under the skull (hydrocephalus). On initial assessment, the infant was noted to have facial abnormalities, Shortened neck, the eyes pointed downward. Images of phocomelia were suggested. Conclusion; LDS and phocomelia are very diverse in their epidemiology, etiology, and anatomy and usually require a low threshold and careful intervention to improve functional and aesthetic outcomes. Physicians and caregiver should assign their workup precisely for the evaluations following initial diagnosis, prevention of primary manifestations, and prevention of secondary complications.

Authors: OZBAY Engin , ONCEL Halil , SALAR Remzi , DURMUS Emrullah
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the surgical and pathological results of patients who underwent ORN (open radical nephrectomy) with an unconventional incision (lateral paramedian) applied to large renal mass in a non-academic urology clinic.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included 46 patients who underwent ORN for a large renal mass between March 2014 and August 2019. The sociodemographic features of the patients, radiological features of the masses, surgical method, and pathology results were retrospectively evaluated.
RESULTS: Thirteen female and 33 male patients were included in the study. Renal masses were observed in 22 patients with right side and 24 patients with left side. The mean age of the patients was 62.78±9.50 years. The mean renal mass diameter was 9.34±2.96 cm. RCC (Renal Cell Carsinom) was detected at a rate of 84.7%. The mean intraoperative bleeding was 226±121 cc and our transfusion rate was %4. The degree of early postoperative pain was medium at a rate of 89.1%. The mean operation time was 118.02±39.96 minutes. Wound infection and wound dehiscence did not occur in the early postoperative period. The mean length of hospital stay was 5.43±1.09 (4-8) days. Incisional hernia was not observed in patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Lateral paramedian incision can be safely preferred in the transperitoneal radical nephrectomy of large renal tumor, providing a clear intraoperative exposure, low postoperative complication rate and the good management of postoperative pain control. Low hospitalization time was remarkable. Our pathology results were similar to the literature.
The Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Possible Treatments of Glaucoma
Authors: Petpaiboon Tawan
Published: August 2022

Glaucoma is a disease related to the eyes. The intraocular pressure is said to be the cause of it, although there are many cases that cant be explained by the rise in eye pressure. Therefore, diagnosis and treatments involved with glaucoma are not fully developed due to this unclear pathophysiology. Patients with glaucomatous eyes experience exacerbation of vision, and permanent blindness eventually appears in some. This literature review is a compilation of many studies, research, and sources that contain information related to the disease glaucoma. The aim is to introduce the types of glaucoma, pathophysiology, genetic aspects, diagnosis, and possible treatments.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Elastofibroma dorsi (ED)is a rare, benign, connective tissue tumour typically occurring in the posterior thoracic wall between serratus anterior and lattismus dorsi muscle adjacent to the inferior angle of the scapula. Actual aetiology remains unknown, and classical clinical features, which include swelling, pain and discomfort in the scapular region along with MRI, usually confirm the diagnosis.
Methods: In our study, we described 11 patients with elastofibroma dorsi from 2014 to 2021 identified retrospectively treated with marginal excision. The patient’s age, gender, lesion side, tumour size, and location were analysed in addition to intraoperative and postoperative complications.
Results: The median age in our study was 58 years, with a male: female ratio of 0.57:1.The tumour was more commonly present on the left side, with pain being the most common symptom. The median size of the tumour was 7 cm. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. No recurrence was reported in any of the patients.
Conclusion: Elastofibroma dorsi is an uncommon benign soft tissue tumour occurring in the infrascapular region of elderly
patients. Typical MRI findings especially confirm benign elastofibroma. Excellent results with minimum morbidity are obtained with marginal excision. Prognosis is usually good with no recurrence.
