Efficacy of the Use of Audio-Visual Facilities in the Teaching and Learning of English Phonology
Authors: Nwokedi Benjamin F.C.
Published: January 2024

This paper discussed the efficacy of the use of audiovisual facilities in the teaching and learning of English Phonology. In recent years, the integration of audiovisual facilities in classrooms has emerged as a potential catalyst for enhancing the learning experience, particularly in the realm of English Phonology. Through observing classrooms and gathering feedbacks from both educators and students, a clearer picture of the impact of audiovisual tools emerged. The ease of illustrating phonetic and phonological nuances with the help of visual and auditory stimuli was found to significantly elevate the learning curve. The interaction between visual aids, auditory tools, and traditional teaching methods creates a more engaging and interactive learning environment, which in turn, contributes to a more effective motivating and enjoyable learning experience. This exploration has not only shed light on the potential benefits of employing audiovisual facilities in the teaching and learning of English Phonology but also advocated for a broader acceptance and implementation of technology in educational settings to better cater for the diverse learning needs and preferences of today’s learners especially, in English Phonology. These include the compelling need to equip educators with the necessary training on how to effectively use AV facilities to teach English Phonology, enhance resource availability, overcome language interference as well as address technical issues. Others are to foster student engagement, assess effectiveness regularly, explore multimodal learning environments, among others.

This article delves into the transformative role of the BRICS alliance comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in the context of a dynamically evolving global landscape and the challenges presented by traditional U.S. hegemony. An interweaving theoretical framework, incorporating concepts of multipolarity, economic interdependence, and strategic alliances, provides a comprehensive lens for understanding BRICS' endeavors in navigating contemporary uncertainties. Economically, BRICS demonstrates a steadfast commitment to restructuring the global economic landscape through innovative initiatives such as the New Development Bank and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement, aiming to reduce reliance on established Western dominated financial systems. Diplomatically, BRICS positions itself as a cohesive entity on the global stage, advocating for a multipolar world order while challenging the unilateralism often associated with U.S. hegemony. Despite challenges like divergent economic structures and the imperative for institutional reforms, the way forward for BRICS involves intensified economic integration, strategic diplomacy, adaptive institutional frameworks, and proactive project implementation. This abstract underscores BRICS as a pivotal player in the paradigm shift of the international system, exemplifying the rising influence of emerging economies and their collective resolve to shape a more equitable and multipolar global order

The serum levels of AKAP1 mRNA expression were negatively correlated with collagen I/III in patients. AKAP1 mRNA and protein expression in the heart tissue of mice with AHF were also found to be down-regulated in a time-dependent manner. Short hairpin (Sh)-AKAP1 promotes AHF in a mouse model. AKAP1 up-regulation reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress in an In Vitro model. AKAP1 up-regulation also reduces ROS-induced lipid peroxidation ferroptosis in an In Vitro model. AKAP1 induces NDUFS1 expression to increase GPX4 activity levels. AKAP1 protein interlinked with the NDUFS1 protein. Up-regulation of the AKAP1 gene reduced NDUFS1 ubiquitination, while down-regulation of the AKAP1 gene increased NDUFS1 ubiquitination in a model. In vivo imaging showed that the sh-AKAP1 virus reduced NDUFS1 expression in the heart of a mouse model. Conclusions: AKAP1 reduced ROS-induced lipid peroxidation ferroptosis through the inhibition of ubiquitination of NDUFS by mitochondrial damage in model of renal patients with AHF, suggest a novel target for AHF treatment.

Sensory evaluation and physicochemical properties of set-type yoghurt fortified with andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) proteins
Authors: Ramón Adriana Noemí
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensory characteristics and the physicochemical properties of high-protein yoghurt fortified with Andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) protein concentrate.  Formulations with 0.5, 1 and 1.5% of protein concentrate (containing 69% proteins, 4% fats and 21% carbohydrates) were obtained using a commercial starter culture and cow´s milk.  The acceptability for colour, flavour, texture and taste was evaluated with a hedonic 9-point scale and 100 adults aged between 18-59 years.  Participants selected the attributes more convenient to describe the yoghurts using the CATA (Check-All-That-Apply) test. The chemical composition, pH and acidity as well as the textural properties were evaluated.  The yoghurt with 0.5% lupin protein concentrate was acceptable according to the sensory attributes. The protein concentrate, when adding at 1 and 1.5%, increased the bitterness, the residual taste and astringency of formulations. The pH values and lactic acid content in fortified products were similar to the control sample, however the syneresis was lower. The yoghurt with 0.5%.  The addition of fruits, cereals or honey could be a strategy to increase the acceptability according to participants´ perceptions. The use of yoghurt as dressings in salads could also be a novel form of consumption.The set-type yoghurt fortified with Andean lupin proteins could be alternatives to increase the daily intake of proteins, however some sensory properties should be optimized
Implicación de la vitamina d sérica durante el embarazo, en los resultados obstétricos y perinatales
Authors: De Santiago Arozamena Andrea
Published: January 2024

La nutrición materna es un factor determinante en el correcto desarrollo del embarazo. Uno de los micronutrientes que cobran especial importancia en esta etapa es la vitamina D. El papel principal de la Vitamina D es la regulación del homeostasis del calcio, aunque, también ejerce un papel importante en el desarrollo del embarazo. Se ha descrito que la deficiencia de Vitamina D durante esta etapa está asociada con resultados adversos como parto prematuro, problemas en el feto o preeclampsia. El objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica es analizar la implicación de la vitamina D en el correcto desarrollo del embarazo. Se seleccionaron artículos pertenecientes a revistas científicas, indexadas y con un factor de impacto ≥1,5,  en inglés o en español y publicados en los últimos 5 años. Se consultó en Pubmed, Sciencedirect y Cochrane. Se asociaron las bajas concentraciones de vitamina D sérica con resultados adversos como diabetes gestacional o preeclampsia. Niveles adecuados mostraron efectos beneficiosos en el desarrollo de la descendencia, mejorando el sistema inmune o previniendo fracturas óseas, sin embargo, no han mostrado beneficios en el crecimiento del neonato. Dosis altas de suplementación con esta vitamina mostraron ser seguras. También se concluyó que la suplementación con vitamina D con dosis de hasta 4000 UI/día resultaría seguro tanto para la madre como para el feto.
Tissue engineering application on coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic: A review
Authors:   Qom University, Zare Jalise Saeedeh , Habibi Sina ,   Iran University
Published: January 2024

Background: The use of biomaterials in diagnosing and treating COVID-19 has been investigated in various forms and origins, including natural and synthetic materials. The development of rapid and highly sensitive biosensors based on field-effect transistors and the creation of antiviral platforms, vaccines, and nanomaterials have been the focus of most research on the application of biomaterials. Tissue engineering encompasses the study of tissue development, behavior, and growth factors that are more readily supported in the medical setting. This paper reviews the roles of biomaterials, tissue engineering, drug delivery, microfluidics, and 3D printing technologies in urgently responding to pandemics like COVID-19. In addition, this research covers a broad area of vaccines and treatments, reviewing the most promising candidate drugs and vaccines that have entered clinical trials to date. These engineering methods focus on biomaterials, drug delivery systems, and replacing damaged tissues and organs. Some biodegradable biomaterials, such as chitosan, mesoporous silica rods, and PLGA nanoparticles, have been utilized as vaccine platforms and can be employed in developing a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Notably, the proposed platform's size, shape, and other physicochemical characteristics should be carefully planned to achieve the desired effects on the immune system. Conclusion: Tissue engineers possess unique tools that can significantly advance our understanding of viral illnesses and aid in creating diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Future research on COVID-19 infection and drug testing will benefit significantly from developing organ-on-a-chip technologies. Developing innovative biomaterial-based techniques for preventing, treating, and monitoring COVID-19 requires collaboration across multiple disciplines.
Genetic variation of Plasmodium and Haemoproteus parasites in birds of Iran
Authors:   Pasteur Institute of Iran, Nourani Leila
Published: January 2024

Background: Plasmodium and Haemoproteus are common parasites transferred to birds by Culicidae, Ceratopogonidae, and Hippoboscidae vectors. These parasites are of particular concern to healthcare researchers and veterinarians due to their impact on avian malaria, association with other animals and humans, and phylogenetic link with human Plasmodium species. Methods: This bibliographic review article was designed to deliver a report on the avian malaria infections of Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp. in birds in Iran. Published reports in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct were used for this revision until April 2023. Results: The highest number of recorded infections with Haemoproteus spp. and Plasmodium spp. was found in Passeridae, as revealed by genetic analysis of Cytb DNA sequences. In this revision, following preceding investigations, the overall prevalence of Haemoproteus spp. was greater than that of Plasmodium spp. discovered by molecular techniques in Iran. Besides, the frequency of published genetic variants (lineages) of Haemoproteus is higher than that of Plasmodium. Our result indicated that the frequency of novel genetic variants Haemoproteus and Plasmodium in published reports was 38% and 12.5% of diagnosed lineages, respectively. Conclusion: The region needs more studies to detect parasites in unexplored hosts and vectors, as there is a lack of research. Understanding the prevalence, epidemiology, transmission approach, and vectors of avian blood parasites is crucial for pet health care, zoos, parks, aviaries, and rehabilitation facilities.
