Published: February 2024

In the present study, the physical characteristics of elastomer (EL) blend with natural polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Dexrin (D), Arabic gum (AG), and corn starch (CS) based on high-density fiberboard wood adhesives were investigated. The EL blends were prepared by dissolving AG, D, PVA, and CS in deionized water at 70 °C for 1 h under magnetic stirring continuously until the solution was clear, and blends were made with a weight of 60/40 (w/w); then were cast into a mold with a 20 cm diameter and left at room temperature for 24 h to ensure complete water removal and drying of the samples. The prepared EL and EL blend structures, adhesion strengths, roughness, wettings, and dielectric strengths, were investigated. The modified EL blend reveals a 144 MPa for pull-off strength and 770.8 N for shear strength for high-density fiberboard (HDF) wood as a substrate to the EL/AG, respectively. The surface roughness and contact angle of the EL/PVA mixture were found to be high, measuring 4.57 µm for roughness and shows the water contact angles for the samples. An increase in the contact angle of the El/AG blend where reached to(83.94˚) was observed due to the decrease in the –COOH and OH groups present in the backbone of the arabic gum.

The research focuses on obstacles and management options of implementation of total quality management skills and teachers’ pedagogical quality output in public secondary schools in Bayelsa State. The study utilizes an ex-post facto research design, employing a co-relational descriptive survey method. The population comprises 4175 consisting of 3997 teachers and 178 principals. The sample size includes 210, consisting of 90 principals i.e. 50% and 120 i.e. 3% teachers. The random sampling technique was applied. The research instrument is a self-constructed questionnaire developed based on the integrated quality management constructs originally formulated by Saraph, Benson, and Schroeder (1989). Additionally, it drew upon information from relevant literatures. The questionnaire is "Envisaged Obstacles and Management Options in the Implementation of Principals’ Total Quality Management Skills and Teachers’ Pedagogical Output Questionnaire" (EOMOIPTQMTPOQ). The face validity of the instrument was assessed through expert judgement, while the reliability used both the split half method and the Cronbach alpha statistics to a randomly selected group of 60 secondary school principals and teachers respectively in Edo State. The analysis indicated 0.70 for the envisaged obstacles in the implementation and 0.97 for suggested management options. The researcher utilized descriptive statistics, specifically mean scores and standard deviation, to address research questions 1 and 3. A mean score (X̅) rating of 2.50 or higher was considered as the benchmark for acceptance. For research questions 2 and 4, the researchers used correlation coefficients to determine the existence of relationships among the variables. Additionally, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics were applied to assess the significance in the formulated hypotheses 1, 2, 3, and 4, at a significance level of 0.05. The study concludes based on the findings that there were obstacles to the implementations of total quality management skills hence it affects teachers’ pedagogical output but the management options would ensure that the obstacles were remove as there was a significant relationship between principals’ total quality management skills and teachers' pedagogical output in public secondary schools in Bayelsa State. Based on the findings, the following recommendations among others are proposed: Principals and teachers in secondary schools should shift their perspective and adapt Total Quality Management (TQM) skills, recognizing that they are beneficial not only for businesses but also for educational institutions, as this can have a positive impact on teachers' pedagogical performance.

The heart generates its own electrical signal. The sinoatrial node is considered the natural pacemaker of the heart and generates an electrical stimulus regularly, 60 to 100 times per minute under normal conditions. Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common rhythm disturbance in children. The majority of the clinically important Supraventricular tachycardia in healthy children is caused by the presence of an accessory electrical connection between the atrium and the ventricle or within the atrioventricular node. Here is reported the case of a 3-months old infant who was presented with pallor, lethargy, poor feeding and was diagnosed with Supraventricular tachycardia. In infants it presents with nonspecific symptoms. Supraventricular tachycardia is typically not life threating but can become if left undiagnosed and untreated, so a high index of suspicion should be maintained while evaluating a child even in early infancy.

Published: February 2024

Objective: Patients hospitalised with severe viral infections may have abnormal liver function. Multiple studies have linked systemic-disseminated viral infections to liver damage. The progression, medical significance, and impact of atypical liver chemical levels on hospitalised infections are unknown. Aims: This study addresses these concerns and examines how liver-related biochemical abnormalities affect viral infection patients' clinical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the royal medical services’ institutions, focusing on patients admitted over two years. The primary purpose was to gather information about patients who underwent testing. Patients with abnormalities in liver indices, specifically alanine transferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), were included in the study. Patients with an AST/ALT ratio greater than 2 were excluded. Patients were classified as either having a lower liver disease status (Status I) or a higher liver disease status (Status II). The classification of liver disease statuses was based on the LDH to AST ratio (below 6.5 or higher than 6.5). The study used independent T-tests, Chi Square Test, and multiple logistic regression to analyze non-parametric data. A significance level of 5% was chosen, and SPSS ver 25 was used for the study. The study aimed to determine the effects of gender, severity group at admission, and composite predictors on the likelihood of admitted viral infected patients having liver diseases. Results: MAOVA analysis revealed a significant difference in overall mortality among individuals infected with SARS-VIRAL, based on the LDH: AST 1 and LDH: AST 2 ratios. The statistical test yielded an F-value of 1204.283 with degrees of freedom (2, 778), and a p-value of less than .0005. Additionally, Wilk's Lambda was found to be 0.244, indicating a strong effect size (partial η2 = 0.756). Conclusion: The involvement of the liver in viral infections is directly correlated with mortality, as this correlation is very clear. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to incorporate hepatic enzymes as a criterion when evaluating patients who have viral infections. This is because of the impact that elevated liver enzymes have on immune cells and, as a result, the overall clinical outcomes. Since this is the case, it is essential for viral patients to undergo daily monitoring of their liver enzymes on a consistent basis.

Sampah adalah masalah lingkungan yang paling sulit diatasi. Faktor penyebabnya yaitu volume limbah, kandungan bahan pencemar, dan frekuensi pembuangan limbah, dimana sering membuat kerugian daripada keuntungan. Masyarakat cenderung membuang sampah di satu tempat, kemudian diangkut ke TPS tanpa adanya pemisahan sampah organik dan anorganik. Sampah yang telah dibuang dan dikumpulkan di tempat pembuangan sampah, tidak bisa langsung diolah karena sampah yang dikumpulkan telah tercampur antara organik dan anorganik. Hal tersebut menyebabkan sampah sulit untuk diolah lebih lanjut. Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini berlokasi di Kelurahan Manggar Baru. Pada wilayah pesisir Kelurahan Manggar Baru terdapat banyak sampah padat yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan rumah tangga maupun industri berserakan. Berdasarkan data SIPSN sumber sampah terbesar dihasilkan oleh sampah rumah tangga yaitu sebesar 72.4%. Mayoritas jenis sampah yang dihasilkan adalah sampah sisa makanan yaitu sebesar 42.3%. Oleh sebab itu, penting bagi masyarakat untuk memulai paradigma baru dalam mengolah dan mengelola sampah menjadi barang yang memililki nilai ekonomi tinggi. Kegiatan peningkatan pemahaman kepada masyarakat mengenai pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga dimulai dengan sosialisasi pemilahan sampah dan pembuatan kompos. Diharapkan melalui kegiatan ini akan membantu masyarakat dalam mengubah paradigma pengelolaan sampah lama menjadi lebih terorganisir dan teratur. Hasil dari kegiatan PKM ini terjadi peningkatan sebesar 4.38% terkait pemahaman warga tentang pengelolaan sampah.Kata Kunci: kompos , pengelolaan sampah, sampah organik, sampah anorganik,

Recently, a number of virtual reality exhibition-type content services have been produced using archive resources of visual art records as a means of promoting cultural policy-based public companies. However, it is by no means easy to accumulate 3D works of art as data. Looking at the current state of metadata in public institutions, there was no digitalization of resources when developing digital twins because it was built based on old international standards. It was found that data modeling evolution is inevitable to connect multidimensional data at a capacity and speed that exceeds the functions of existing systems. Therefore, the elements and concepts of data modeling design were first considered among previous studies. When developing virtual reality content, when it is designed for the migration of 3D modeling data, the previously created metadata was analyzed to improve the upper elements that must be added to 3D modeling. Furthermore, this study demonstrated the possibility by directly implementing the process of using newly created metadata in virtual reality content in accordance with the data modeling process. If this study is gradually developed in the future, metadata-based data modeling can become more meaningful in the use of public data than it is today.
