Published: December 2022

Bu araştırmada farklı düzeylerde pamuk tohumu küspesi (PTK) ve %0, 0.1 enzim karışımı içeren diyetlerin, bıldırcınların besi performansına etkisi ve maliyet analizi ortaya konmuştur.1 günlük yaştaki 450 adet erkek ve dişi Japon bıldırcın civcivi (Coturnix coturnix japonica) kullanılmıştır. Bıldırcınlar, 6 muamele grubu ve her grubun 3 tekerrürü olacak şekilde, toplam 18 bölmeye (25 adet/yetiştirme kafesi) dağıtılmıştır. Gruplara; %0, 10, 20 PTK ve %0, 0.1 enzim karışımı içeren diyetler verilmiştir. Araştırma 35 gün sürdürülmüştür. Bıldırcınların canlı ağırlık (CA), canlı ağırlık artışı (CAA), yem tüketimi (YT) ve yemden yararlanma oranı (YYO) değerleri incelenmiştir. Bıldırcınların canlı ağırlık (CA)’larına PTK düzeylerinin etkisi görülmezken, enzim karışımı ilavesinin 21. gün CA üzerine etkisi önemli bulunmuştur (P0.05). Bıldırcın diyetlerine farklı düzeylerde PTK ve enzim uygulaması çalışmasının ekonomik maliyet analizine göre; tane olarak pazarlandığında PTK ve enzim içermeyen diyet grubunda en yüksek kar görülürken, karkas ağırlığı üzerinden pazarlandığında ise PTK içermeyen ve enzim karışımı içeren diyet grubunda en yüksek kar elde edilmiştir. Bıldırcın diyetlerinde %10 PTK kullanımının en uygun düzey olduğu ve enzim karışımı ilavesinin besi performansını olumlu etkilediği ortaya konmuştur. Ancak karkas adet fiyatına göre; en yüksek kazanç PTK ve enzim karışımı içermeyen grupta, en düşük kazanç ise %10 PTK enzim karışımlı grupta görülmüştür. PTK fiyatlarının ucuz veya soya küspesi fiyatlarının yüksek olduğu dönemlerde, bıldırcın rasyonlarında PTK alternatif protein kaynağı olarak kullanılabileceği söylenebilir.

Double Deprotonation of CH3CN by an Iron–Aluminium Complex
Authors: Stadler Benedek , Gorgas Nikolaus , White Andrew , Crimmin Mark
Published: December 2022

Herein we present the first double deprotonation of acetonitrile (CH3CN) using a bimetallic iron-aluminium complex. The products of this reaction contain an exceeding simple yet rare [CHCN]2– dianion moiety that bridges two metal fragments. DFT calculations suggest that the bonding to the metal centres is primarily ionic in nature. Mechanistic studies reveal the intermediacy of a monomeric [CH2CN]– complex, which has been characterised in-situ. Our findings provide an important example in which a bimetallic metal complex achieves a new type of reactivity not previously encountered with monometallic counterparts. The isolation of a [CHCN]2– dianion through simple deprotonation of CH3CN also offers the possibility of a establishing a broader chemistry of this motif.

Published: December 2022

A single stimulus leading to multiple responses is an essential function of many biological enzymatic reaction networks, which enable complex life activities. Owing to the lack of allosteric regulation of natural enzymes, it is challenging to duplicate a similar network using non-living chemicals. Herein, we report a nanozymatic cascade reaction network that demonstrates multiple responses of different modes and intensities upon a single H2O2 stimulus based on a single-atom nanozyme (Co-N-CNTs). Taking the two-electron cascade oxidation of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as an example, the endogenous product H2O2 competitively inhibited substrates in the first one-electron oxidation at the Co-N4 active site on Co-N-CNTs, while accelerated the second one-electron oxidation under a micellar nanozyme. Using such a nanozymatic network, the feedback and feedforward regulation of product transformation were further applied to microfluidic flow reactors as a cell mimic. Owing to the unique varieties of response in intensities and modes, the proposed cell mimic demonstrated highly selective recognition and linear perception of H2O2 against over 20 interferences in a wide range of concentrations (0.01-100 mM), reminiscent of a primordial life-like process in mutable and harsh conditions.
Microplastics in the Nigerian Environment- A review
Authors: Faleti Ayodele Ifeoluwa
Published: December 2022

The use of plastics and their applications is growing by the second. Their quick production and consequent improper disposal have made plastics a concern for researchers and policymakers. Plastics less than 5 mm are called microplastics and are now found almost everywhere. Microplastics are very resistant to microbial degradation and can spend a century before being thoroughly degraded, their introduction into the environment poses a threat. In addition, microplastics are easily broken out of plastics while in contact with light or radiation, which causes them to break down. It is worth emphasising that there are just a few researchers working on this subject in Nigeria, and there is a void that needs to be addressed. Nevertheless, the persistence of microplastics in the food chain and ecology has been identified as a significant issue. For that purpose, a number of studies have been conducted in the country, quantifying microplastics from various sources, such as the air, water, and soils. This paper examines the environmental hazard posed by plastics and microplastics, including contributions from the Nigerian scientific community, research gaps, and potential solutions.
Interplay of static and dynamic disorder in the mixed-metal chalcohalide Sn₂SbS₂I₃

Published: December 2022

Chalcohalide mixed-anion crystals have seen a rise in interest as ‘perovskite-inspired materials’ with the goal of combining the ambient stability of metal chalcogenides with the exceptional optoelectronic performance of metal halides. Sn₂SbS₂I₃is a promising candidate, having achieved a photovoltaic power conversion efficiency above 4%. However, there is uncertainty over the crystal structure and physical properties of this crystal family. Using a first-principles cluster expansion approach, we predict a disordered room temperature structure, comprising both static and dynamic cation disorder on different crystallographic sites. These predictions are confirmed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Disorder leads to a lowering of the bandgap from 1.8 eV at low temperature to 1.5 eV at the experimental annealing temperature of 573 K. Cation disorder tailors the bandgap, allowing for targeted application for this class of materials in optoelectronics.

Published: December 2022

Prostatectomy and Transurethral resection of prostate TURP have been the surgical options for men with obstructive symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Various clinical manifestations produced due to the absorption of large volumes of irrigating fluid during TURP are referred to as TURP syndrome. In this study we have analyzed the changes in serum electrolytes while using irrigating fluids such as 1.5 glycine and Normal saline while performing TURP using Monopolar and Bipolar procedures respectively. A prospective randomized study was conducted on 88 male patients belonging to the age group of 50 to 86 years over a period of 19 months. 1.5 glycine was used in 46 cases and Normal saline in 42 cases for irrigation. The weight of the prostate gland ranged from 25 gms to 90 gms. The duration of the TURP surgery ranged from 10 min to 90 min. The volume of 1.5 glycine used ranged from 5l litres to 21 l and the volume of normal saline ranged from 5l to 36l. The changes in serum electrolytes that occurred during the procedure were correlated with duration of the procedure volume of 1.5 glycine and Normal saline used and weight of prostate gland resected. The electrolyte changes during Monopolar and Bipolar TURP were same. Use of Normal Saline did not have any advantages over glycine in patients undergoing TURP.

The different methods used in the multiplication of numbers are long method (column method) of multiplication, grid methods and addition methods of multiplication. The utilization of the methods mentioned to solve power (index) of base number (number that multiply itself in a number of times) are horrendous, outrageous, tedious, time consuming and too long to be carried out. This study develops computation of the power of base of number using Kifilideen (matrix, combination and distributive (MCD)) approach. The Kif matrix method of multiplication is a shorter version of the long method (column method) of multiplication. The matrix method provides a straight forward, direct and systematic means of multiplication of digit number that multiply itself repetitively

Published: December 2022

Beneficial insects have inevitable contributions for pollination and natural pest control in agriculture. But farmers are struggling to boost up the crop production with chemical application in controlling insect pests enormously without knowing the ultimate consequences. Asia covers 59% of the world’s total insecticide usage. Insecticidal exposures share different modes of action with parasitoids and predators. They affect the survival of insects, reduce the capacity of reproduction, change insect behavior, alter the host’s availability for parasitism or predation, and sometimes cause direct death. Among the different pesticides, clothianidin and pyridaben recorded in decreasing 86.44% and 83.54% of the honeybee population (86.44 and 83.54%) indicating their toxicity to the bee pollinators reduction. Dimethoate causes the total mortality of aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi. while Azadirachtin showed 40.43% emergence rate at the dose of LC25 for both the male and female insects, and pyrethrum insecticides have sublethal effects on the lifespan of Chelonus oculator. The nicotinoids, pyrethroid, and organophosphorus groups have a residual impact on the nectar and pollen biology. Residues of imidacloprid @ 19.7μg/kg found in pollen and 6.0μg/kg in honey those potentially affecting on the bee activity. Moreover, sulfoxaflor exposure has extensive sub-lethal effects on wasps, especially available as beneficial insect in the crop fields. This study findings revealed the necessities for future research on the harmful effects of synthetic and natural insecticides on the beneficial insects. Furthermore, it has been suggested that Integrated pest management (IPM) that involves sustainable ecosystem-based pest management techniques Might be an effective and efficient alternative of the insecticides for conserving the beneficial insects in the agroecosystem for the betterment of our future generations.

Published: December 2022

To determine the growth and yield of oyster mushroom, types of substrates is of crucial importance. Five different types of substrates namely rice straw, wheat straw, banana leaves, rice straw and wheat straw (1:1) and Banana leaves and rice straw (1:1) were used for evaluating the yield and related attributes of Pleurotus ostreatus. Standard cultivation practice was followed with steam sterilization and spawned substrate packed in a plastic bag. The data of two flushes were recorded. The parameters observed were days to primordial formation, yield of each harvest and length of longest stipe (Cm). Our results reveal that wheat straw was the quickest to full spawn run (23.25 days) followed by rice straw (24.25 days) and rice straw mixed with wheat straw (24.75 days) and the slowest in banana leaves (50.75 days). However, the duration from full mycelial run to primordia formation was quickest in rice straw and slowest in the mixture of rice straw and banana leaves. From the yield perspective, rice straw (1.5 kg) excelled followed by the mixture of rice straw and wheat straw (1.34 kg) and lowest in banana leaves (0.5kg). The longest stipe was observed on rice straw (17.9 cm) and mixture of rice straw and banana leaves (17.9 cm) with the least on banana leaves (12.32 cm). Results revealed that there was significant reduction of yield and stipe length from first to second harvest. The average duration to complete one cycle in rice straw was 32 days, wheat straw 31.5 days, rice and wheat mixture 33.5 days, banana leaves 54.75 days and the mixture of rice straw and banana leaves with 46 days. From over all results, rice straw was found to be the most suitable substrate for oyster mushroom under Gokuleshwor condition. If other substrates are to be used, they should be mixed with rice straw.

Ants play a crucial role as ecosystem engineers and natural enemies of insect pests in different forests and agroecosystems. Bangladesh’s varied agroecosystem harbors a diverse ant community, it can be utilized to track recent changes to the agricultural environment. However, it’s utilization is deemed due to insufficient taxonomic checklist of ant fauna and their diversity pattern in various ecosystems in Bangladesh. This research aimed to measure the taxonomic and functional diversity of ants in an agroecosystem. Sampling was done by time-unit sampling (TUS) during March- April 2021 in different cropland habitats in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) campus. A total of 172 individuals of 20 genera under 5 subfamilies were identified, of which Myrmicinae was the richest subfamily with 9 genera, while Camponotus is the most dominant genus in the ecosystem. Four habitats from BSMRAU campus significantly contributed on ant species richness and diversity matrix as revealed through Principal component analysis (PCA). The functional diversity of identified ant genera was explained using the results retrieved from Shannon Diversity Index, Species Evenness index and Effective number of species (ENS). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index of Field pathway (2.5202) is highest, followed by Entomology field (2.38086), agroforestry field (1.37315) and lowest in rice field (0.16794). Field pathway had the highest value due to comprising several types of vegetation alongside and non-ploughed soil. Rice field has only rice crops that were grown in a wetland; hence, water causes the lowest value. The evenness index (>0.75) implies the probability of stable communities in all the tested habitats except in rice field (0.242), which indicates a depressed community structure and is strengthened by the ENS value as 12.4, 10.8, 3.9, and 1.18 in the field pathway, in entomology field, agroforestry field, and rice field, respectively. The findings generated a comprehensive ant checklist and diversity indices with indicator species to measure the land type transformation and restoration in the agroecosystem of Bangladesh for future research.

A thesis research was conducted at Gokuleshwor, Baitadi to evaluate the management practices of Aulacophora foveicollis on (Lucas, 1849) on cucumber during Kharif season in 2021. Field experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were: 1) Controlled. 2) Net barrier. 3) Cypermethrin. 4) Chloropyrifus. 5) Cypermethrin + Chloropyrifus. 6) Nimbicide. 7) Jholmol. Each plot consists of 3 m × 3 m (9 m2). Field experiment showed that highest reduction of Aulacophora foveicollis (Lucas, 1849) was observed in net barrier followed by cypermethrin + chloropyrifus and then cypermethrin, but these three treatments were statistically at par during almost all the spray times. Thus, net barrier might be the best option in management of Aulacophora foveicollis (Lucas 1849).
The Effect of Spatial Unemployment on the Neighbouring Regions’ Economies: A Regional Case Study of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa

Published: December 2022

This article investigates the degree of spatial dependence of unemployment on neighbouring economies with possible implications for cross-border community development initiatives. The local municipalities within the KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa are used as a case study. Spatial econometric techniques are employed that incorporate dependence between regions in close geographical proximity. Disaggregated data and knowledge about the dynamics at a sub-regional level are usually unavailable for designing employment policies, especially for regional economies in under-developed countries. The results suggest an absence of spatial unemployment clustering and autocorrelation between neighbouring economies. The absence of externalities implies that little mutual dependence exists between adjacent economies, and therefore municipal unemployment patterns can be viewed as spatially random. The economy of a region is therefore fundamentally heterogeneous in that its unemployment rates are determined and influenced by its unique and diverse factors rather than neighbouring unemployment trends or patterns.

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit, of which genetic etiologies are a frequent cause. Dominant and recessive mutations inTMC1, a gene encoding the pore-forming subunit of the hair cell mechanotransduction channel, cause DFNA36 and DFNB7/11, respectively, accounting for ∼2% of genetic hearing loss. Previous work has established the efficacy of mutation-targeted RNAi in treatment of murine models of autosomal dominant non-syndromic deafness. However, application of such approaches is limited by the infeasibility of development and validation of novel constructs for each variant. We developed an allele-non-specific approach consisting of mutation-agnostic RNAi suppression of both mutant and WT alleles, co-delivered with a knockdown-resistant engineered WT allele with or without the use of woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE) to augment transgene expression. This therapeutic construct was delivered into the mature murine model of DFNA36 with an AAV vector and achieved robust hair cell and auditory brainstem response preservation. However, WPRE-enhancedTmc1expression resulted in inferior outcomes, suggesting a role for gene dosage optimization in futureTMC1gene therapy development.
What makes democracy possible? Transitions in Egypt and Tunisia after the Arab Uprisings
Authors: SAHİN Osman
Published: December 2022

This article studies Egyptian and Tunisian transitions by investigating the effect of two factors, namely electoral system choice and the presence of competitive oppositionparties. It suggests that, between 2011 and 2015, the electoral system choice and the presence of competitive political parties contributed to the transition to democracy inTunisia while the same two factors were causes of the failed transition in Egypt. It concludes by arguing that during transitional phases, electoral system choice andpresence of competitive political parties help institutionalization of normal, limited political uncertainty in a polity. Accordingly, these two factors compel cooperation andnegotiation between different political actors, which in turn help democracy survive transitions.

Many issues of halal food fraud involved the misuse of halal logo and certificate,
mislabeling of products, and adulteration of halal products with non-halal ingredients. The
sensitivity concern pertaining to halal meat and its products, particularly regarding the
incident of the meat cartel scandal that happened in Malaysia had impacted consumers’
trust and confidence, particularly among the Muslim communities. This research aimed to
assess the degree of confidence and purchase behaviour among Muslim consumers on
halal meat and its products following the issue of the imported meat cartel scandal. The
extent of consumer awareness of the issue was also asked. The survey was performed
among 1,045 Muslim consumers via a structured questionnaire to measure their
awareness, confidence and purchase behaviour on halal meat and its products. The results
highlighted that the issue had affected the Muslim consumers’ perception of their
confidence and purchasing behaviour majorly on imported meat and meat products. In
addition, the confidence and purchasing trend of consumers has also reduced towards
meat products other than the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM)
certified halal logo. Overall, the concern on the issue has impacted Muslim consumers’
behaviours towards halal meat and its products which demanded more serious attention
and action to assure the halal integrity of the products.

Por meio da pesquisa do tipo mapeamento de produção científica, buscou-se discutir as publicações que tratam das trajetórias de vida docentes. Para tanto, promoveu-se a localização das fontes considerando o banco de Teses e Dissertações da Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI), identificando-se seis produções que abordam trajetórias de vida publicadas entre os anos de 1995 a 2020, tendo como filtro, a História Cultural como pressuposto teórico e metodológico de análise. Para tanto, parte-se das seguintes categorias: periodização, fontes, autores utilizados, objetivo geral, formação de professores e professoras enquanto problemática norteadora deste estudo, lançam-se as seguintes questões: qual a importância de estudar trajetórias de docentes? Qual seria a produção sobre trajetórias de docentes no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação (PPGEd)? Por que analisar a produção sobre trajetórias de vida no PPGEd, tendo como ponto de partida a teoria de análise escolhida? As análises possibilitaram uma visualização dos temas mais abordados, assim como das lacunas de estudos quanto à trajetória de vida docente dentro do PPGED da UFPI. Identificamos a proeminência teórica de Le Goff, Burke, Halbwakcs, Nóvoa e Certeau nas discussões que envolvem tais produções. Quanto aos instrumentos de coleta de dados, ressaltam-se o uso da história oral e suas relações com memória individual e coletiva na construção de narrativas de sujeitos. Assim, evidenciou-se a diversidade de fontes antes desprestigiadas pela historiografia tradicional. Nesse interim, constata-se a expansão da abordagem trajetória de vida em virtude das novas abordagens historiográficas.

Este artigo objetiva contribuir na preservação da memória de uma política recentede avaliação institucional da educação básica, na rede estadual de ensino do Rio Grande doSul, cujo diferencial reside no aspecto participativo da política. Foram analisados os resumosdas produções científicas de 2012 a 2017. O levantamento das produções foi realizado noCatálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes; Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações doInstituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT – BDTD); Portal dePeriódicos da Capes/MEC (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior /Ministério da Educação); repositórios digitais de universidades públicas no Rio Grande do Sule em meios eletrônicos de eventos ocorridos no período. As produções foram organizadas emdois grupos sendo eles as produções acadêmicas e as publicações em periódicos. As análisesforam realizadas de acordo com as categorias temáticas previamente definidas: objeto deestudo ou foco de interesse, metodologia adotada, fontes teórico-conceituais mais utilizadas eas implicações dos resultados, ganhos e aprendizagens da política. Dentre os achados sedestacam as limitações na implementação da política, como: acúmulo de atividades dossujeitos envolvidos, tempo necessário para realizar o diagnóstico, falta de assistência dascoordenadorias às escolas e centralização na formulação da política. Também foi possívelidentificar avanços quanto ao estímulo à participação da comunidade escolar naimplementação da política. As análises revelaram que a temática é campo fértil para novosestudos sobre a evolução da política e para o conhecimento acerca da avaliação institucionalna educação básica.
