Published: January 2021

This article discussed educators from the perspective of the Al-Quran and Islamic education. Educators are an important element in the Islamic education system. Educators are determinants of the intellectual and moral success of students. So it is interesting to ask how educators in the perspective of the Al-Quran and Islamic education. To answer these research questions, this study used library research and descriptive-analysis methods. The results of this study revealed that the subject of educators according to the Al-Quran is very diverse and forms a hierarchy, Allah, Rasulullah, parents, and teachers. Whereas the predicate that is usually carried by an educator in the Islamic education tradition is Ustadz, Mu'allim, Mursyid, Murabbi, Mudarris, and Mu'addib. Each of these names has almost the same meaning but has its own definitions and characteristics.

Published: January 2021

This study aimed to investigate the effect of acidifying the diet of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon on its growth and feed efficiency by supplementing coconut sap vinegar CSV) or sugar cane vinegar (SCV) or their 1:1 combination. Three hundred and sixty post larva shrimps (average initial weight of 0.01g) were randomly distributed into 12 50-L plastic containers. Four experimental diets, namely, control diet, 2% CSV, 2% SCV and 2% CSV+SCV were fed to groups of shrimps. After 90 days, all shrimps fed with diets containing vinegar exhibited significantly higher final average body weight (FABW), weight gain (WG), feed intake, specific growth rate (SGR), and better feed conversion ratio (FCR) than those fed the control diet. Attractability tests showed that the CSV and CSV+SCV diets attracted significantly the highest percentage of shrimps after 10 min of feed placement. Survival rate was not significantly different among the treatments. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that the vinegars tested could be used as growth enhancers in shrimp and that the combination of coconut sap and sugar cane vinegars supplemented to the diet resulted in the best growth and feed efficiency as well as attracted the most percentage of shrimps.

Appropriate adoption techniques in aquaculture contribute to food security. The study appraised the functionality of aquacultural techniques in Oshimili South Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria using adoption approaches. The objectives were to ascertain the level of adoption management techniques, examine the pond types of adoption, assess fish farmers’ technological needs and identify constraints affecting adoption. A quota sampling technique was used to select respondents to acquire a sample size of 82 who were administered with questionnaire to elicit information. Data obtained were analyzed statistically. Results revealed that respondents were male (83%) with mean age of 44 years, mean household size 5 persons, married (65%) and had mean farming experience of 7 years. Majority (92%) had annual extension visit. Majority (78%) adopted earthen pond management techniques with high adoption score = 5.4. Again, majority (88%) adopted earthen pond over plastic (79%), concrete (71%) and wooden pond (59%). Majority (90.2%) indicated that integrated techniques were their prioritized need and respondents (80.5%) pointed out that high feed cost was their most serious constraint (mean = 3.06). It was concluded that there was a high adoption rate of aquacultural techniques in the study area. It is recommended that extension visits should be monthly and training on integrated techniques, feed formulation among others is needed.

Authors: OLOGBOSE Festus , DICK Samuel
Published: January 2021

This study was carried out to investigate breeds, age and sex effect on haematological and biochemical profiles of ducks. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) day old ducklings of two breeds (60 Muscovy and 60 Mallards) were used for the study. The ducks were divided into four (4) groups centered on the breeds and sexes designated as Muscovy males, Muscovy females, Mallard males and Mallard females. At 4 and 8 weeks, blood samples were collected from the experimental group and analysed. The experiment was 2 × 2 × 2 factorial in a Randomized Complete Block Design with two breeds (Mallard and Muscovy), sex and age. Results obtained showed significant effect (P < 0.05) of breeds on Packed Cell Volume, Haemoglobin, Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells, Platelets, Total Proteins, Albumin, Globulin and Tryglycerides while no significant effect of breeds (P > 0.05) was observed on Urea, Creatinine and Glucose in the two breeds of ducks. Result indicated that Muscovy recorded higher values for Haemoglobin (10.35 ± 0.52g/dl) and RBC (4.62 ± 0.24 × 1012/ L) than Mallard which recorded Haemoglobin (10.10 ± 0.62 g/dl) and RBC (4.43 ± 0.27 × 1012/ L). Significant effects of Sex and age (P < 0.05) were observed on haematological and biochemical profiles. It is therefore concluded that the two breeds of ducks studied can be successfully raised in Rivers State, Nigeria without adverse effect on their health since their haematological and biochemical values compared favorably with standard reference values. Values obtained in this investigation could also serve as a baseline data of these breeds in humid tropical environment.

Published: January 2021

Among all environmental factors, the temperature is considered one of the key elements that control the growth and development of saffron. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of thermal forcing of corms on saffron growth and development. To this end, mother corms were collected at four different periods: late March (T2) , mid-April (T3) , late April (T4), and after leaf senescence (Control, T1) . The corms of each period were then pretreated at three successive temperature levels: at 25 °C for 2 weeks, at 15 °C for 2 weeks and finally at 4 °C for 12 weeks. The results showed that the thermal pretreatment of corms had a significant effect on some saffron parameters. The flowers of the corms that underwent thermal treatment were later than those of the control. Similarly, the flower numbers and stigma yield were negatively affected by thermal forcing of corms. Overall, the thermal forcing of corms under the proposed regime was unfavorable for the growth and development of saffron.

REGISTERING AND REPORTING SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS
Authors: Patro Pallavi , Misra Durga Prasanna
Published: January 2021

Systematic reviews are considered as the highest rung in the ladder of evidence-based medicine. They are bound by a pre-defined structure and requirement for extensive literature searches, when compared with the more liberal format of narrative reviews. Systematic review protocols should ideally be pre-registered to avoid duplication or redundancy. After defining clear review question(s), thorough literature searches form the basis of systematic reviews. Presentation of results should be qualitative or quantitative (meta-analysis) if the data is homogenous enough to permit pooling across multiple studies. Quality of individual studies by Cochrane risk of bias 2 tool for interventional studies and other suitable scales for observational studies, as well as appropriate assessment of publication bias are recommended. Certainty of outcomes should be assessed by the GRADE profiler. Finally, systematic reviews should conclude with recommendations for future research, based on their findings.

Published: January 2021

Background: Inclisiran is a drug under development that inhibits the hepatic synthesis of proprotein convertase subtilistin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) leading to reduction in plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). Methods: Review of pertinent English literature by Pubmed search until June 12, 2020. Search terms are lipids, PCSK9, LDL-C, inclisiran, safety, efficacy. Studies included are randomized trials, meta-analyses, and review articles. Results: Inclisiran is administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection at day 1, day 90, then every 6 months. In patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease and those with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia receiving maximally tolerated statins, the placebo-adjusted percent reduction in LDL-C levels was 48% to 52% after 6 months. Inclisiran also lowers other atherogenic lipoproteins such non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (nonHDL-C) by 43 to 47%, apoprotein B (apo B) 39% to 43%, lipoprotein(a) by 18-25% compared with placebo. Efficacy of inclisiran in lowering LDL-C levels was similar in patients with and without diabetes, and patients with normal renal function compared with those with severe renal impairment. Inclisiran is overall well-tolerated. Most common adverse effects are injection site reactions. Conclusions: Inclisiran is an effective and long-acting drug for lowering LDL-C levels. Studies are underway to evaluate effects of inclisiran on CV events and mortality

Published: January 2021

Blockchain technology represents one of the most promising introductions in the technological scenario. Despite the growing interest from both the general public and the scientific community in this regard, there is a lack of strategies capable of guiding, under a technical and managerial perspective, the introduction of blockchain technology within existing business processes. Inspired by the main software engineering methodologies, which currently do not include specific techniques to coexist with blockchain paradigm, in this article, we propose an innovative blockchain implementation framework, which provides for a series of tools and strategies able to exploit the benefits arising from its integration within public administration business models while reducing related risks of introduction. In order to assess the framework operational effectiveness, we also test its application in the development of a blockchain based system allowing the conduct of telematic trial tax in order to make its execution safer, faster and cheaper.

Published: January 2021

The universal study reveals that Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) exposure is upsetting the environment. It focuses keenly on the people residing in the neighboring of the base stations / mobile towers were affected by environmental radiation pollution. The effect of EMF radiation on human life is unusually increasing on dayto-day basis. As the number of customers using mobiles rises, one would see the mobile phone towers / base trans-receiver station (BTS) increases; and this has a great and huge impact on radiation hazards. Mobile phones have the capability of emitting radiations that would affect human tissues and it runs a two-way communication paradigm. Radio Frequency (RF) wave establishes communication around the globe in the mobile network. However, the radiations emitted by RF waves are harmful if absorbed into the human tissues. The most side effects experienced when nearer to these towers are headaches, discomfort, anxiety and other diseases. The radiation hazards are found to be extraordinarily more where the cell towers were installed nearer to educational institutes, healthcare and few residential areas. They were recommended to move / stay away from such areas, the radiations can cause tumors, disturbance of the nervous system and other diseases. The study is to understand the radiation exposure limits that would protect the public health from the EMF exposure. RF radiations were mapped by geographic information system (GIS) based measuring approach that helps in detecting places where users are in health hazards in exposed areas. This helps government and health organization to estimate the distribution of radiation in areas nearer to the location of mobile towers. Realization among the people was made to live and spend less time based on the radiation levels of exposure with the mobile towers. The analysis was carried out by STATA software to measure the poisson exposure of confidence interval. The poisson regression calculated for the mobile towers is 47473.38 and -0.00001 for Andhra Pradesh state respectively. Similarly, the poisson exposure is 19.2096 and CI is found to be 0.0013 to 0.2900 in Telangana state of India

Backgrounds: Dehydration is a common finding the Emergency Department(ED). The main cause of dehydration in the pediatric population is acute gastroenteritis, but it can be present with other illness such as respiratory infections. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dehydration in patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). Methods: Prospective observational study of patients with LRTI admitted in the ED in a period of three-months. Patients with LRTI were included and assessed with the Clinical Dehydration Scale (CDS) to determine clinical dehydration. Patients were weighted on admission and 24-hours after admission to determine weight change after fluid management. Results: 88 patients with LRTI were included. A total of 23(26.1%) patients presented a degree of dehydration according to the CDS scale. Comparing weight changed on admission and 24-hours later 55.6% had an increased weight. When comparing the grade of dehydration with the CDS scale vs increased weight changed at 24-hours after fluid management, it was statically significant for patients 6 months-1 year(23% vs 64%;p value 0.01), 1-2 years(25% vs 50%;p value 0.05) and >2 years(16% vs 50%;p value 0.03). The most common clinical finding was mild dehydration in 22 patients and moderate/severe in only 1 patient. Conclusions: This is one of the few studies of dehydration in illness not related to gastroenteritis. The key finding of this study was that LRTI in some of the patients were associated with certain degree of dehydration. Not all patients with dehydration were detected using clinical findings and this difference was found using weight changed

This theory assumes the universe it is a closed sphere inside a “shell” which holds it still preventing it from expanding or collapsing. Before big bang, the universe must have been filled with linear radiation and no mass, space was flat and time was zero (empty set). An initial big bang took place everywhere inside the shell having as purpose to curve flat space and to create mass and time. At initial moment mass got created along with all existing physical laws. Later on, stars and planets formed by gathering of mass, and then accumulated into galaxies which move randomly by curved trajectories. Inside the universe there are no lines and even light travels on long distances by curved trajectory. It cannot be an expansion of the universe since the “shell” doesn’t allow that to happen. Behaviour of curved space at subatomic level generated by the initial big bang is still happening today and this prevents all spheres of mass inside the universe from stop moving. Light coming from far distance galaxies is being curved by the behaviour of space at subatomic level at a constant linear rate with distance and time. If more time and space is given to a star, light reaching us it will shift to red even more, do to a much more curved trajectory. The universe is fixed with a constant diameter, space itself doesn’t move in any linear direction, it just curves onto itself

The susceptibility is calculated and compared when for extensive ranges of the anisotropy, the dc magnetic fields in the very low damping with Matrix continued Fraction. It is shown that the shape of the Spectrum of Super-Paramagnetic nanoparticles is substantially altered by applying a dc oblique field. There is also an inherent geometric dependence of the complex susceptibility on the damping parameter arising from coupling of longitudinal and transverse relaxation modes
A Rotor Looseness‒Rub-Impact‒Resonance Fault Mechanism Modeling
Authors:   School of mechanical engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, 100083, Jun HU , Jun HU ,   Angang Steel Company Limited equipment engineering department, 114021
Published: January 2021

In view of the limitation of the numerical method for coupling faults of rotating machinery, a modeling method for coupling faults of rotor, DeformationMotion Vector Analysis Method, is purposed in order to explain the fault mechanism more thoroughly and universally. Firstly, the “Deformation-Motion” is defined by fault and the relationship between fault deformation and periodic signal is established by Fourier series. Secondly, the “Vector Analysis” analyzes the deformation-motion in the dynamic coordinate system, and establishes the relationship between the fault deformation-motion and the periodic excitation force by using the dynamic and static coordinate systems. Thirdly, the analytical solution is obtained by harmonic balance method, and the coriolis acceleration term is first found in the analytical solution of rotating machinery failure. By further analysis of the analytical solution, we find that the general trend of the natural frequency of the rotor system will gradually approach the excitation source frequencies and eventually lead to the resonance: that is the law of Natural Frequency Migration Resonance Theory. Finally, the validity of the modeling method and the correctness of the analytical solution are verified by engineering practice
A Metaphoric Analysis of Miriri’s Ekegusii Pop Song Ebunda
Authors: Ntabo Victor , Ouma George Ogal
Published: January 2021

The study undertakes a metaphoric analysis of the animal metaphors in Miriri’s Ekegusii pop song “Ebunda” (a donkey) to reveal meaning. The meaning of the animal metaphors in the song might be elusive to the majority of the fans because metaphor is principally a matter of thought and action which is often situated in a specific context. The study employed the descriptive research design to describe the metaphors as used in the song. First, four coders (including the researchers) were employed to identify the metaphors in the song through the Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit. Secondly, the metaphors in the song were classified into animal metaphors based on the levels of the principle of Great Chain of Being metaphor (GCBM). The animal metaphors in “Ebunda” were then explained using the Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The study reveals that animals are stratified source domains used to effectively conceptualize human beings as highlighted in the song. In addition, the animal metaphors in “Ebunda” are used on a cognitive basis to reveal the perceptions Abagusii (the native speakers of Ekegusii) have about some animals in society. Metaphors are crucial ways of communication and are best explained using the Cognitive Linguistics paradigm.

Published: January 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar práticas de qualidade utilizadas no processamento de queijos artesanais, alinhadas com os diferentes “mundos de legitimação” propostos na Teoria das Convenções. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica e validação dos resultados com especialistas setoriais. Os resultados mostram que muitas dessas práticas de qualidade, são fruto da construção coletiva dos stakeholders desse setor, que através da interação social e acordos coletivos estabelecem critérios de análise a serem mobilizados em função de sua percepção do que é justo, confiável e adequado para caracterizar e valorizar cada categoria de produto ou sistema produtivo. Além disso, é possível verificar a importância de fatores extrínsecos de qualidade na caracterização dos queijos artesanais, como o estabelecimento de relações de confiança entre produtor e consumidor, responsabilidade social e ambiental e atributos ligados ao localismo. Os resultados obtidos são importantes para o poder público, podendo orientar a elaboração de políticas públicas para o setor, e para os produtores de queijos artesanais que podem definir suas estratégias de negócio, a partir das práticas de qualidade que adotam.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE MODERNITY IN THE SEGMENT OF CAPSULE MACHINES: A STUDY BASED ON THE MEANS-END THEORY
Authors: Marçal Gandia Rodrigo , Pimenta Nascimento Amanda , Murad Isabela , de Barros Vilas Boas Luiz Henrique
Published: January 2021

Contemporaneity has generated significant changes in food/human relations. The way food is perceived has been modified, and a new concept has emerged: the food modernity. People’s needs and goals are represented cognitively through values, understood here as final states that consumers aim for themselves. This qualitative and exploratory research aimed to identify, under the perspective of the means-end theory, the relationships among the attributes, consequences, and values that motivate the consumption of coffee capsule machines. Laddering was used as a technique, since it allows more excellent representation of information and aggregated relations to the consumers’ perception, and the results were arranged in a hierarchical map of values. With the help of the software LadderUx, we reached the matrix of implication and the hierarchical value map. Results showed that it is not the technology that modifies individuals’ eating habits, but rather the relationships triggered by the modernity concepts. The transformations that occurred worldwide have changed peoples’ lifestyles. In this context, the technology used in capsule machines contributes to the new modes of food consumption, through utilitarianism, quality, practicality, and the artifact itself (capsule machine).

As the world is moving towards Industry 4.0, it is high time that we progress from the traditional methods, where we wait for a breakdown to occur, to the prognostics based methods. It is the need of the era to be aware of any incident before it occurs. This study provides application of Statistical-based Predictive maintenance. A BOPP Production line has been considered as a case study for this research. Since the inception of the line in 2013, it is evident that 60% of breakdowns are due to lack of maintenance and timely replacement of bearings. Therefore, the research is based on the application of FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis) to determine which bearing in the production line is most prone to failure and determination of which statistical model best fits the failure data of the most critical bearing. The result provides the best distribution fit for the failure data and the fit can be utilized for further study on RUL (Remaining Useful Life) of the bearing through Bayesian Inference.

The region of Ouargla in the south-east of Algeria has many thermal hot springs that are still largely untapped. The aim of this pilot study is to assess the contribution of balneotherapy in the functional improvement of low back pain patients. Methods: This study concerned non-specific chronic low back pain patients treated at the balneotherapy and rehabilitation center in Ouargla, Algeria. The sample was divided into two groups for comparative purposes: the first one is the intervention group (A) receiving physical therapy combined with balneotherapy, and the second is the control group (B) receiving physical therapy alone. The response was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in its Arabic version. The questionnaire was given at the beginning and end of treatment. An improvement in Oswestry is considered clinically relevant if it is above 30 %. The sensitivity to changes is estimated by the standardized response mean and effect size. Results: Ten patients meeting the eligibility criteria were split equally into the two groups. We observed that 60 % (3/5) patients had a clinically relevant improvement in Oswestry in group (A) versus 20 % (1/5) patient in group (B). The effect size for group (A) and group (B) is 1.20 and 0.71, respectively. The standardized response mean is 1.13 for group (A) versus 1.01 for group (B). Conclusion: The results of the present study reiterate that in addition to conventional rehabilitation, balneotherapy can be more effective in the treatment of patients suffering from non-specific chronic low back pain.
