Authors:   , Souza Maria Angela de
Published: July 2023

O sistema de produção animal ainda se depara com desafios relacionados ao manejo ambiental dada a dificuldade de adaptar as condições climáticas locais às necessidades térmicas dos animais. Assim, objetivou-se com essa dissertação investigar os efeitos do telhado verde em relação ao comportamento do ambiente térmico de protótipos de aviários com uso de diferentes tipos de telhas associadas ao uso do telhado verde. Desse modo, na primeira parte dessa dissertação, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura abordando questões relacionadas ao balanço de CO 2 nos ambientes de produção animal com telhado verde nas instalações que visaram melhoria nas condições ambientais para possibilitar conforto térmico, bem-estar animal e sustentabilidade ambiental da produção. E na segunda parte dessa dissertação, foram caracterizados o ambiente térmico e os índices de conforto térmico de protótipos de aviários, em escala reduzida, com uso de telhado verde. Os tratamentos consistiram em tipos de telhas (cerâmica, fibrocimento e metálica) associadas ou não a um telhado verde, constituído por grama esmeralda (Zoysia japonica). Foram avaliadas as variações da temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, da temperatura superficial interna do telhado, do índice de temperatura e umidade (ITU), do índice de temperatura de globo negro e umidade (ITGU), do índice conforto humano (ICH) e da carga térmica de radiação (CTR), todas as variáveis foram testadas em condição de instalação aberta e fechada. Os resultados apontaram que o uso do telhado verde nos protótipos foi capaz de melhorar consideravelmente o seu ambiente térmico e reduzir significativamente todo os valores dos índices bioclimatológicos determinados independentemente do tipo de telha utilizada, nos momentos mais quentes do dia, em relação aos protótipos sem o telhado verde. Além disso, nos momentos mais frios, o telhado verde foi capaz de amortecer a condição térmica dos protótipos. Palavras-chave: Ambiente Térmico. Bem-estar Animal. Construções Rurais.

Leadership is a process of influencing others towards achieving organizational goals. The most important aspect of the leadership process is the result of a complex series of interactions between the leader, the people being led, and the situation. This complex interaction can be directed to generalizations about leadership as something that is problematic as a factor influencing the leadership process. This must be supported by the appearance of the head of the madrasa. The appearance of the madrasa principal is determined by factors of authority, character and skills, behavior and flexibility of the madrasa principal. The results of the study concluded that Al-Ma'arif Boja School instilled the habit of speaking politely to the principal, teachers, staff and peers. The school also makes it a habit to smile and greet when meeting the principal, teachers, staff and friends. Schools also make it a habit to say hello when entering class, make it a habit to ask permission from the teacher when going to the bathroom to train students to respect elders and the same age both in madrasas and outside madrasas. In terms of social values, the madrasa head teaches teachers, staff, and students the meaning of caring for one another. The principal of the madrasa always pays attention to teachers and staff, because caring for one another will create a harmonious family atmosphere.

Delirious mania: 2 case reports

Delirious mania is a clinical syndrome characterised by manic as well as deliriant and catatonic features and symptoms. In fulminant cases, the syndrome can cause serious damage to organ systems. This article describes 2 cases of delirious mania, one of a 51-year-old woman with a history of type-1 bipolar disorder and the other of a 60-year-old man with a history of post-traumatic stress disorder and depressive disorder. Benzodiazepines are the treatment of choice for delirious mania, but in the first case a marked improvement of symptoms was only achieved after electroconvulsive therapy, supporting the, albeit limited, evidence in the literature, which almost exclusively consists of case reports. The role of antipsychotics is even less clear. There are indications that typical antipsychotics are harmful, whereas some atypical antipsychotics and mood stabilisers appear to have beneficial effects, but the scientific evidence is again limited.

Authors: Gao Lin
Published: July 2023

In recent years, the integration and rapid development of culture and tourism have proved that tourists’ purpose of tourism is to deeply experience culture of tourism destination instead of just having fun. In order to meet the diverse demands of tourists about cultural experience as far as possible, besides the local culture of the tourism destination, a new culture based on tourists’ demands will be constructed. The re-constructed culture bring new cultural matters and cultural appearance to tourism destination. Although the re-constructed culture may be able to meet the demands of tourists, it also can cause cultural conflicts between tourists and local residents because of the problem of "authenticity". Finding a way to reduce the conflicts, balancing the cultural rights between tourists and local residents, both of them can benefit from tourism industry, are very important topic. In fact, in order to solve the problems, local residents play one of a important roles in the tourism industry. The cultural identification and decision-making participation of local residents, can preserve "authenticity"of culture and create rules to monitor the developing model of local cultural tourism to a certain extent.

Authors: Chen Jin
Published: July 2023

Taking 1760 journal papers of information retrieval relevance in the core database of Web of Science as the research object, using literature co-citation network and keyword co-occurrence network analysis, with information visualization as the means, this paper summarizes the research on the relevance of information retrieval. It is found that the current information retrieval correlation research network is concentrated, which is mainly divided into two main knowledge groups, retrieval algorithm and correlation cognition, with few frontier branches. And the knowledge fusion between the two groups needs to be strengthened. Since the emergence of natural language processing, information retrieval relevance has been improved along the path of natural language processing-machine learning-deep learning.

Authors: Joseph Umuerhi Friday , Oghenetega Urhiewhu Lucky
Published: July 2023

This study examined the use of past examination question papers (PEQPs) among students and their overall recall  rate during examinations. It employed the descriptive survey research design and used all the 255 undergraduate  students who visit the library in Private Universities such as Novena University Library Ogume, Western Delta  University, Oghara, Michael and Cecilia Ibru University, Library, Agbrha -Otor James Hope University, Edwin  Clak University Library, Kaigbodo; Sports University , Library Idumuje, Ugboko, Margaret Lawrence University,  Umunede Library, and Admirality University of Nigeria, Library Ibusa Ugwashi-Uku for PEQPs. Data for the  study were collected in two phases over a period of two academic semesters with the first phase focusing on respondents’ collection of PEQPs, and the second phase requiring them to complete a questionnaire designed to elicit  information on why they use PEQPs, what they gain and the overall outcome of their reliance on same. The study  found that fresher rely more on (PEQPs), and most students use PEQPs as study guides as against pretesting  themselves before an examination, the respondents do not see reliance on PEQPs as a major factor leading to  improved academic performance of undergraduate students and this affects their perception of the effect PEQPs on  their overall academic outcome. The study therefore concludes that as important as PEQPs usage seems to be,  improper usage of same could be detrimental to the undergraduate users.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to examine visual patterns in male novice youth and professional adult players while performing a jump shot. The sample included 20 basketball players grouped as under-16 youth (n = 10) and professional adult (n = 10) players. Each participant completed 50 shots at two distances (long range: 6.80 m; middle range: 4.23 m). Eye tracking glasses were used to obtain quiet eye (QE), the number of fixations, total fixation duration, duration of first and last fixation. An independent t-test was used to assess differences between groups. Shooting accuracy given by % of efficacy indicated that under-16 players attained poorer scores at both distances: long (t = −4.75, p < 0.01) and middle (t = −2.80, p < 0.012) distance. The groups also differed in QE time (long: 600 ms vs. 551 ms; middle: 572 ms vs. 504 ms) and total duration of the fixations (long: 663 ms vs. 606 ms; middle: 663 ms vs. 564 ms) in both long and middle distance shots. Significant differences also occurred in the last fixation (long distance: t = −4.301, p < 0.01; middle distance: t = −3.656, p < 0.01) with professional adult players presenting the value of, on average, 454–458 ms, while youth shooters 363–372 ms. In summary, visual strategy differed between under-16 youth and professional adult basketball players. To support their long-term sport development, it is recommended that youth basketball players focus their attention with longer final fixation before releasing the ball to improve their shot.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this study was to check if the rally length in high-level Spanish volleyball was longer in women than in men. A total of 1,786 rallies were observed: 792 for women and 994 for men. The recorded variables were match (quarter-final 1, quarter-final 2, semi-final 1, semi-final 2, final), gender (men, women), rally length (seconds), pseudo-rally (no, yes), and terminal event (ball out of sight, ball in/out, fault). Different non-parametric statistical techniques were used to compare the rally length between groups or subsets of data: Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test, quantile regression, and survival analysis. The mean and median rally length was significantly and slightly longer in women than in men. The rally length difference between genders was barely 1 s in quantile .5 or median, while in quantile .95 it was just over 4 s. In women, the probability of ending the rally at 3.9, 5.1, 10.2, and 43.9 s (at 4.4, 6.3, 11.6, and 43.9 s without pseudo-rallies) was 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively. In men, the probability of ending the rally at 3.2, 4.3, 7.9, and 29.1 s (at 3.9, 4.8, 8.8, and 29.1 s without pseudo-rallies) was 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively. These temporal thresholds can help volleyball coaches to train their players in a coherent manner.

Published: July 2023

Several studies have confirmed the efficacy of flywheel eccentric overload training in order to improve or increase muscle volume and strength, as well as several performance-related fitness attributes, but to date, there are no studies that have reviewed the effects of these training methods in basketball. Therefore, the present systematic review aimed to collect the updated information about the influence of flywheel training on performance of basketball players. A search in four electronic databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) was conducted up to November 20, 2022. Articles were selected as valid for review if: (i) they were an experimental trial published in English; (ii) participants were basketball players without illnesses or injuries, and (iii) a rotational inertial overload method was used as a performance-dependent variable. A total of 93 articles were found. After filtering procedures, only seven studies were considered in this systematic review. In the selected studies, 203 participants were included, 58 females and 145 males. Focusing on basketball related performance variables, all the studies included the countermovement jump (CMJ), while five included sprinting and a change of direction test (COD). The results showed an improvement in performance-related variables associated with basketball (sprint, CMJ, and COD) through the use of inertial methods. Improvements were reported in professional, semi-professional and amateur players as well as both male and female players. However, given the low number of studies, additional investigations on this topic are warranted before a “clear picture” can be drawn concerning the effects of flywheel eccentric overload training in basketball players.

Based on linkage between attention control, gaze and visuomotor control, previous studies suggested that quiet eye training (QET) could improve attention control. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of QET-based visuomotor intervention on different aspects of attention in children with ADHD. Fifty seven children with ADHD aged 9-12 years, were tested on focused, tonic and phasic attention, as well as attention control during a throwing task analysed via eye tracking, in the pre-and post-test sessions, 6 weeks apart. The QET group that underwent the specific 5-week QET-based intervention significantly increased focused attention including its accuracy aspect. Reaction times (RT) and intraindividual RT variability in non-alert and alert conditions as measures of tonic and phasic attention did not change over time in either group. In contrast with the CON group, an extended total time of eye fixations during the pre-throw and throw phase was found in the QET group after the intervention. The study suggested that focused attention in children with ADHD can be improved by a short-term QET-based visuomotor intervention. Future research needs to examine the effects of longer QET-based intervention, or the intervention in combination with other cognitive training of attention.

Het beoordelen van de continuïteitsanalyse in het controleproces berust op het professionele oordeel van de controlerend accountant. Om het individuele en persoonlijk oordeel (professional judgement) van de accountant te ondersteunen en willekeur zoveel mogelijk te vermijden, zou een directere bron van informatie, in de vorm van een geautomatiseerde continuïteitsanalyse, ondersteuning kunnen bieden. Met behulp van een combinatie van zestien forecasting algoritmes is een methode ontwikkeld om de continuïteitsanalyse te automatiseren. Ten behoeve van het valideren van de forecasting algoritmes zijn 225 administraties verdeeld in een train- en testset. De resultaten tonen een betrouwbaarheidspercentage van 96,49% voor het Extra Trees Regressor model op basis van de conditie ‘lopende verplichtingen’ voor één van de administraties.
Can Liberia Replicate the Singapore Experience in Curbing Entrenched and Systemic Corruption? A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Nebo Dr. Ambrues Monboe
Published: July 2023

From a qualitative comparative analysis method, this article assesses the possibility of Liberia replicating the Singapore experience as one of the least corrupt Countries in the world. Regarding fighting corruption, the study identified commonalities shared by Liberia and Singapore but with a significant difference that constitutes the research findings. The findings revealed the following: Unlike Singapore, the political will that is critical to the fight against corruption only manifests in the legislation of institutional and normative frameworks not in enforcement and adequate budgetary appropriation. Unlike Singapore, Liberia lacks character education important for tackling corrupt behaviors from early ages, shaping students’ mind towards the danger of corruption, and producing excellent students with good moral behavior. Unlike Singapore, ordinary people’s attitudes, mindsets, and behavior toward corruption remain critical to the fight against corruption in Liberia. In the affirmative, the study concludes that Liberia can possibly replicate the Singapore experience provided it addresses the significant differences that are not utopia.

The study sought to investigate the effects of alcohol on teachers and its counselling implications in selected secondary schools in Kabompo district, Zambia. The study was guided by four specific objectives, namely: to identify factors that causes teachers to abuse alcohol within working hours (objective 1); to investigate implications of alcohol abuse on teachers’ performance (objective 2). The study adopted a descriptive research design, with a total of 30 respondents sampled from selected schools of Kabompo district. Primary data was collected using in-depth interview guide while secondary data was collected using journals and studies conducted in line with the research. Data that was collected from the key informants was analyzed manually; and classified (sorted) into main themes. In relation to this study, thematic analysis was used to analyses all the responses obtained on the topic. The study revealed that there is abuse of alcohol among teachers in Kabompo District and one of the contributing factor is availability of alcohol in places were these teachers are currently residing. The study also revealed that teacher’s abuse alcohol during working hours and this reduces teacher pupil contact hours which in turn affect curriculum coverage. The study recommended that teachers with severe alcohol abuse disorder must go on rehabilitation program with trained counselors in drug abuse of which they should produce a report before any radical intervention is made by the higher authority.

Fine motor is one aspect of motor development that must be developed in early childhood education. Fine motor has a vital role in child development because fine motor is the child's ability to show and master beautiful muscle movements in coordination, agility, and dexterity in using hands and fingers. To develop fine motor skills, a teacher must be able to sort and choose the suitable media to build it optimally and as expected. This study used qualitative research methodology. The research subjects were 20 students and two teachers from RA Lampung Timur, while the research object was the development of children's fine motor skills. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive research methods; the author describes or describes the findings systematically and accurately using a series of words or sentences so they can be understood.

Melanotic Neuroectodermal Tumour of Infancy: A Benign but Locally Destructive Growth
Authors: Ng Benjamin Wei-Liang , Kazakydasan Sarvambika , Wong Ling-Siew , Ho Betty Lee-Sue
Published: July 2023

Melanotic Neuroectodermal Tumour of Infancy (MNTI) is a rare neoplasm typically reported in infancy, involving the head and neck regions. Although described as a benign tumour, the growth is rapid and has a high local recurrence rate. Due to the rapid and locally destructive growth, it can easily be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour, leading to unwarranted and potentially harmful interventions. Therefore, histopathological assessment is pertinent in confirming the diagnosis. Early surgical resection is critical to limiting cosmetic disfigurement but is challenging as it requires prompt and careful planning to ensure optimal clearance. Therefore, it is crucial to approach anterior maxillary swellings in an infant with an index of suspicion and to consider MNTI as a rare but important differential diagnosis to ensure a timely diagnosis and plan for appropriate early intervention. We report a case of an infant presenting with a rapidly growing and locally destructive intra-oral swelling who underwent tumour excision and was later confirmed to be MNTI. We discuss the clinical, radiological, and histological features and the challenges in diagnosing and managing this rare childhood tumour.
Power loss minimization and voltage profile improvement in transmission networks using a network modification algorithm
Authors:   , Ntombela Mlungisi
Published: July 2023

A number of algorithms that aim to reduce power system losses and improve voltage profiles by optimizing distributed generator (DG) location and size have already been proposed, but they are still subject to several limitations. Hence, new algorithms can be developed or existing ones can be improved so that this important issue can be addressed much more appropriately and effectively. In their formulations, the majority of algorithms focused only on real power loss minimization. Power systems operate with reactive power controller installed at various locations, which are essential to their operation. Therefore, the effect of reactive power control must be taken into consideration when optimizing DG allocation for voltage profile improvement. State-of-the-art optimization algorithms can be used to improve the effectiveness of the existing one in taking into account the effect of reactive power control. This study proposed a modification methodology based on a hybrid optimization algorithm, consisting of a combination of the genetic algorithm (GA) and the improved particle swam optimization (IPSO) algorithm m for minimizing active power loss and maintaining the voltage magnitude at about 1 p.u. The buses at which DGs should be injected were identified based on optimal real power loss and reactive power limit. When applying the proposed optimization algorithm for DGs allocation in power systems, the search space or number of iterations was reduced, increasing its convergence rate. The proposed modification methodology was tested in an IEEE-30 bus electrical network system with DGs allocations and the simulations were conducted using MATLAB software. The hybrid GA and IPSO (HGAIPSO) method has less iterations and is more effective at solving optimization issues than other optimization algorithms like GA, PSO, and IPSO. An IEEE-30 bus network system with DGs allocations was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed HGAIPSO, and the test results were compared to those from alternative techniques (i.e. GA, PSO and IPSO). The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate that the suggested HGAIPSO can be an effective and promising optimization technique for issues with transmission network modification. IEEE-30 bus test system with DGs included at various locations, Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 DGs allocation, respectively, showed decreases in overall real power loss of 40.7040%, 36.2403%, and 42.9406%. For the IEEE-30 bus, the highest bus voltage profiles are up to 1.01pu.
