This study aims to determine how much influence the Learning Environment, Peers and Learning Readiness have on student achievement in the Economics Education S1 Study Program, Faculty of Economics, Gorontalo State University. This research uses a quantitative survey type method. This research data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 88 students as respondents. The research data comes from primary sources with multiple linear regression analysis with the help of the SPSS version 2023 program. The regression test results show that ŷ = a + bx, namely ŷ = 9.676 + 0.044X1 + 0.153X2 + 0.674X3. + , which means that the learning environment has a positive effect on student learning outcomes with a t-value of 0.184 when compared to the t-table of 1.66 so the effect is not significant, peers have a positive effect on student learning outcomes with a t-value of 1.496 with a t-table of 1.66 so it is still smaller so it is not significant and learning readiness has a positive effect on learning outcomes with a t-value of 7.16 with a t-value of 1.66 so it is still greater so it is said to be significant. This can be seen from the results of SPSS testing, it is known from the R-Square value of 0.667 or 66.7%. This explains that 66.7% of the distribution of learning achievement variables can be explained by the Learning Environment, Peers and readiness to learn variables. While the remaining 33.3% is explained by other factors that are outside this study that cannot be explained. Thus the researcher's hypothesis has been tested and can be accepted.

This paper aims to present the marketing and translation process of patient information leaflets (PILs) into Arabic and their accessibility to the public, taking the Algerian market as a case study. PILs are the main source of information related to medication and are required to be lay-friendly as part of the process of marketing authorization. Lay-friendliness in the Algerian context means that the information contained in the PILS, (1) is conveyed through the receiver language, i.e., Arabic, and (2) is written in a language that is understandable by the receiver. To test these hypotheses, an assessment of the regulatory framework of PILS in the Algerian context was carried out. Furthermore, a study was conducted based on 1) a questionnaire targeting 56 participants to assess the readability of PILS, and 2) a field survey in pharmaceutical laboratories to document the translation stage in the marketing process. The assessment showed that the use of Arabic is mandatory in addition to a foreign language. The questionnaire showed that participants tend to read the Arabic content of the PIL. The survey’s results reported that the translation task is delegated to a sworn translator’s office though the examination of 16 randomly-selected (out of 72 PILs) revealed some linguistic discrepancies.

Board assurance is the term used to describe the board's degree of trust in the organization's capacity for efficient risk management. Among SACCOs in Uganda, board assurance and financial performance are important ideas. The financial sector in Uganda has been characterized by investor activity, hostile takeovers, poor corporate governance, weak boards of directors, and protection of minority shareholders. Several banks and other financial institutions have failed to operate despite Bank Uganda's multiple interventions, necessitating regulatory action to maintain the stability of the financial system. This study's goal was to examine how board assurance affected the financial performance of a subset of SACCOs in Uganda's Kiruhura District. This study used both quantitative and qualitative research methods, utilizing a cross-sectional survey research design. At a 95% confidence level or 0.05 error rate, a population of 342 individuals was used. The sample size consisted of 184 respondents, staff members, and members of the six SACCOs that were registered in the Kiruhura area of Uganda as of January 2023. There were two stages to the data collection for analysis. First, SPSS version 20.0 was used to conduct the preliminary data analysis and descriptive statistics on the respondents.In the second phase, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to evaluate and investigate the structural relationships between the variables in the proposed conceptual model. These statistics included multicollinearity, mean and standard deviation, outliers and extreme values, and missing data. SEM was implemented using Jaffrey's Amazing Statistical Program (JASP) version 0.17.2.0. The study's conclusion supported Ha1 by showing that board assurance (BoA) (=0.343**) significantly improved the financial management of savings and credit co-operative societies (SACCOs) in Uganda. According to the study's findings, SACCO would perform better financially the more its board took responsibility for the company's decisions and told stakeholders about them. The study recommends that; board of directors should be more effective in ensuring that they communicate the decisions clearly and appropriately so that SACCO’s maximize shareholders wealth.

Authors: Taj Syed Zegham , Rizwan Syed Mohammed
Published: January 2024

A comparative analysis between two reliability models of a three-unit complex industrial system has been presented in this paper. Previously, real failure-maintenance data of a three-unit complex industrial system were collected. The situations depicted in the data were used for developing two appropriate reliability models for the system. Important reliability indicators of the system were estimated by applying Semi-Markov and regenerative processes. Here, a comparison between the reliability indices and profits of the two models is performed, which helps in identifying the suitability of one model over the other. Cut-off points for profits based on costs, revenues, and failure rates have also been obtained for deciding which of the two models is more profitable. Graphical analysis is also presented to illustrate the outcomes.
Farklı Su/Çimento Oranlarına Sahip Kalsiyum Alüminat Çimentolu Betonların Yüksek Sıcaklıkta Basınç Dayanımlarının ve Elastisite Modüllerinin İncelenmesi
Authors: GÜLEÇ Abdulkadir
Published: January 2024

Son yıllarda yüksek performanslı beton tasarımında bağlayıcı olarak kalsiyum alüminat çimentosu kullanılabilmektedir. Kalsiyum alüminat çimentosu yüksek sıcaklıklara ve asidik ortamlara karşı üstün performans gösteren bir çimento türüdür. Aynı zamanda çok hızlı sertleşme kabiliyeti sayesinde tamir harcı olarak da kullanılabilmektedir. Ancak Portland çimentosunun aksine hidratasyon mekanizması sıcaklık ve nemden büyük ölçüde etkilenir. Hidratasyon ürünleri belli dönüşümlere uğramak suretiyle kararlı hale geçme eğilimindedirler. Bu dönüşümler kalsiyum alüminat çimentolu betonun mekanik özelliklerini negatif anlamda etkiler. Bu nedenle kalsiyum alüminat çimentosunun hidratasyon mekanizmasına etki eden faktörlerin araştırılması gerekir. Özellikle kalsiyum alüminat çimentolu betonda optimum su/çimento oranın tespiti bu açıdan oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada farklı su/çimento oranlarına sahip (0.35, 0.40, 0.45) kalsiyum alüminat çimentolu betonların normal sıcaklıkta ve yüksek sıcaklıkta (600 ºC) basınç dayanımları ve elastisite modülleri araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda yüksek sıcaklık altında kalsiyum alüminat çimentolu betonda su/çimento oranı arttıkça basınç dayanımı ve elastisite modülü değerlerindeki azalma oranının arttığı tespit edilmiştir. İşlenebilirlik ve dayanım parametreleri birlikte değerlendirildiğinde kalsiyum alüminat çimentolu betonun tasarımında 0,35-0,40 aralığındaki su/çimento oranının makul bir değer olabileceği değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: January 2024

Sığırlarda üreme performansı, genetik, beslenme, uterus sağlığı ve sistemik sağlık, yönetim ve ısı kontrolü, boğa etkinliği ve suni tohumlama ile ilgili uygulamaların rol oynadığı çok faktörlü bir değişkendir. Sığırlarda beslenme ve fertilite arasındaki bu ilişki, işletmelerin bu konu üzerinde daha fazla durmalarını gerektirmektedir. İyi bir sürü idaresi ile istenilen maksimum üretim kapasitesine ulaşılabilmekte ve işletme karlılığı olumlu yönde etkilenebilmektedir. Beslenme, gonadotropin sekresyon dengesi, ovaryum aktivitesi ve uterus üzerindeki lokal etkileri yoluyla üreme fonksiyonunu modüle etmektedir. Büyük oranda vücut ağırlık kaybıyla sonuçlanan genel beslenme yetersizliği, pubertası geciktirerek, ovaryum aktivitelerini ve üreme döngüsünü bozarak infertiliteye neden olmaktadır. Öte yandan, aşırı beslenmeye bağlı şekillenen obezite sonucunda da, folikülogenezis bozulmakta, oosit kalitesi düşmekte ve embriyonik yetmezlik ortaya çıkarak üreme olumsuz yönde etkilenebilmektedir. Enerjinin yanı sıra protein, vitamin ve makro - mikro elementlerin de üreme üzerinde doğrudan etkileri mevcuttur.

Bu çalışmada; enerji, protein, vitamin ve mineraller gibi beslenme unsurlarının fertilite ile ilişkileri derlenmiştir.

Published: January 2024

Comparative studies of intravaginal sponges containing three different doses of progesterone on estrous synchronization; fertility, fecundity and prolificacy of synchronized does by natural mating were conducted during the breeding season at Central Sheep Breeding Farm, Hisar. A total of 60 Beetal does selected randomly and divided into group I, II and III with 20 does in each, and subsequently intravaginal sponges containing 50, 100 and 150 mg P4 were inserted respectively for 14 days and an i/m injection of PMSG (@200IU/doe) was injected just after sponge removal in each doe. Effective number of animals remained 55 as 5 does dropped their sponges. Forty eight to sixty hrs after sponge removal, 14, 16 and 15 does from group I, group II and group III respectively were synchronized to estrus and subsequently hand mated individually with bucks of proven fertility. The fertility, fecundity and prolificacy per cent after synchronization of oestrus in group I, group II and group III was 78.57, 87.50 and 86.66; 128.57, 156.25 and 166.66; 163.63, 178.57 and 192.30 respectively. Eighteen animals (6 does from each group) selected randomly out of 60 animals for progesterone estimation. Blood samples were collected immediately before insertion of intravaginal sponges (day 0) and then subsequently on day 7, 14 after sponge insertion and 48 and 72 hrs after sponge removal. Progesterone concentration was above basal level in most of animals on day 0 in all the groups. Increase in plasma progesterone concentration (with in group) was recorded on day 7 and decreased on day 14 & 48 hrs after sponge removal. These changes were significant in group II & III while non-significant in group I. Progesterone concentration decreased non-significantly 72 hours after sponge removal in all the three groups. Significant difference in plasma P4 concentration was reported in between group I and group II & III on day 7 & 14.

Semen extenders are the essential components of cryopreservation of semen. Identification of suitable and ready to  use semen extender is the need of hour for the rapid propagation of Kangayam cows through artificial insemination.  Kangayam bull, aged 5 years was utilized for the study. The semen was collected twice in a week and each time two  ejaculates were collected. A total of 24 ejaculates were utilized for this study. After assessing the general macroscopical  examination the semen was subjected to computer aided semen analysis (CASA) for assessing the kinematic parameters  in fresh diluted semen, pre freeze and post thawed such as sperm motility, progressive individual motility, VAP, VSL, ALH  and LIN were analyzed using CASA. Among all the three extenders, the sperm kinematic parameters during fresh diluted,  pre freeze and post thawed semen stages were higher in group III (liposome based extender) followed by group I (TEYG)  and in group II (soya bean lecithin based extender). Among the three extenders used, the components of liposome based  extender was better and it was able to maintain the structural integrity, plasma membrane integrity and motility in the  sperms of the frozen thawed semen than the other two extenders (TEYG and soya bean lecithin based extenders). Further  the fertility rate was evaluated by the in vivo insemination of 60 Kangayam cows after 12 hours of onset of estrum. The  fertility rate observed was 45.00, 40.00 and 65.00 per cent in groups I, II and III, respectively. The overall conception rate  recorded in Kangayam cow was 50.00 per cent. Based on the findings, it was concluded that liposome based extender may  be used for cryopreservation of Kangayam bull semen in order to maximize the fertility rate.

Bacterial contamination of the uterus is inevitable during the first three weeks of calving in the cow. The potential  importance of unculturable bacteria in the establishment of postpartum endometritis is reported in the cow; however,  existence of unculturable bacteria is not known in the postpartum uterus of the buffalo. Accordingly, sterile endometrial  swab was collected in peptone water on day 20-21 post-calving from Murrah buffalo (n=12) without vaginal contamination  and bacterial gDNA was isolated. Using gene specific primers, 16S rRNA was amplified by PCR. The purified PCR  product was sequenced and was compared in Ribosomal database project (RDBP). Genetic distance was calculated using  multiple alignments with ClustalW model in MegAlign module of Lasergene Package. The phylogenetic relationship was  analyzed using the software MEGA 5.1 by neighbourhood joining method. The results revealed that invariably every  sample contained uncharacterized bacteria (100%); however, no new species of was found. The clinical significance of  uncharacterized bacteria in the establishment of postpartum endometritis needs to be determined in the buffalo.

Post-partum uterine prolapse is a very common obstetrical problem as it affects the future breeding and production of an animal. It generally leads to delay in return to oestrus and subsequently reduction in conception rate and thus increase in the inter calving period of a female animal. In the present case, in a postpartum crossbred cow, replacement and repositioning of the cervix and uterus was done under caudal epidural anaesthesia with the horizontal mattress suture on vulva. The suture was removed after 14 days on complete recovery of the animal.
Spermbots: A Promising Futuristic Innovation in Assisted Reproductive Technology

Published: January 2024

Spermbots are robotic sperms formed out of sperm cells conjugated to artificial microstructures, having potential  applications ranging from biomedical processes, drug delivery systems, in situ real time imagery and assisted reproduction.  The robotic sperm can act as an exploratory microdevice in biological networks. Incorporation of a biological entity like  sperm into microstructures under the environment of magnetic or electric fields helps in shape templating and carrying  chemotherapeutic agents to target sites. Besides its role in drug delivery systems, spermbots can potentially contribute in  combating infertility, especially in oligo-zoospermia and necro-zoospermia in males. Numerous checkpoints may impede  sperm cells to reach the oocyte in vivo. Spermbots bypass these sites and carry sperm to oocyte. Targeted delivery always  requires interventions of natural functional aspects of living systems. Sperm flagellum, being a biological motor in nature,  can be harnessed as a driving force in spermbots to ensure delivery of fertile sperm cells with impaired motile machinery to  the target. Moreover, the technology has a potential to unravel sperm migration patterns and understanding the processes  in vivo. After a review of documented literature on possible use of spermbot technology in assisted reproduction, we  hereby discuss the application of this new and innovative technology in humans and animals. The paper also highlights  certain shortfalls in the widespread application of this cargo delivery technology in assisted reproduction.

The present study was conducted on 21 crossbred Large White Yorkshire sows to assess the effect of flaxseed supple mentation on oxidative stress in sows and growth of piglets. All sows were equally allocated into three groups. Group 1  served as the control and followed their normal feeding schedule. Group 2 and group 3, in addition to their normal feed ing schedule, were supplemented with flaxseed at a rate of 0.5% and 1.0% of the dry matter, respectively. Blood samples  were collected 15 days prior to farrowing, on the day of farrowing (day 0), at weekly intervals until day 28 of lactation  and at monthly intervals during gestation to assess the oxidative status in each sow. Body weight and weight gain in each  piglet was measured during lactation period. The assessment of oxidative stress in blood was done through estimations  of malondialdehyde (MDA), end product of lipid peroxidation. No changes (P>0.05) in MDA concentrations were mani fested at any of the days measured during lactation and gestation in sows of all the groups. Similarly, there was no effect of  flaxseed treatment on superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in all sows at any of the days measured during lactation period  (P>0.05) as well as during gestation period (days 30-90). In the current farrowing, the piglets exhibited a steady increase  (P<0.05) in bodyweight as well as weight gain in all groups from day 0 until day 28 of lactation. No effect (P>0.05) of flax seed fed to sows on litter weight and weight gain was noticed until day 21 of lactation, However, the effect of treatment  was evinced on day 28 of lactation compared to control group. In conclusion, flaxseed supplementation had no impact  on MDA and SOD concentrations in sows; nevertheless a treatment effect was noticed on body weight and weight gain  in piglets.

Published: January 2024

The effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue on the ovulatory response of oestrual follicle during cold and hotter months of the year was studied. A total of 120 crossbred cows brought for insemination with oestrus signs during colder months (December 2022 –January 2023; n=52) and hotter months (April – May 2023; n=68) to the Gynaecology Unit of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Orathanadu were utilized for the study. Oestrus (Day 0) was confirmed by gynaeco-clinical and ultrasound examination and animals were inseminated with (n =33) or without (n = 87) GnRH (Buserelin acetate 10 mcg; im). The biometry of oestrual follicle (OF) and regressing corpus luteum (RCL) were measured ultrasonographically on Day 0 and the OF was observed every 24 hours until ovulation. The diameter of the OF on Day 0 was non-significantly (P > 0.05) larger during hotter months (12.19 ± 0.21 mm) than colder months (11.58 ± 0.32 mm).  There were no significant (P > 0.05) differences in the diameter of RCL between the two periods (9.63 ± 0.21 and 9.56 ± 0.22 mm respectively). OFs were observed majorly in the right ovary during the hotter (60.76%) and colder (54.17%) months. Ovulations occurred on the mean days of 1.00 and 1.37 ± 0.18 in GnRH group during hotter (H-Gn) and colder months (C-Gn) respectively. The respective mean days in non-GnRH group were 1.14 ± 0.05 and 1.33 ± 0.08 during hotter (H-O) and colder months (C-O). In H-Gn group all the animals (100%) ovulated on Day 1, when compared to C-Gn animals (62.50%). On perusing the possible effect of RCL on ovulation, significantly increased percentages of ovulations were observed in OFs on the contralateral ovary to the ovary having the RCL in GnRH group and viceversa in non-GnRH group. It could be assumed that GnRH administration on the day of insemination may be beneficial during the hotter months of the year.

Published: January 2024

The present study was undertaken to enrich X-sperms in Sahiwal bull semen by percoll density gradient method and to detect X and Y sperms in enriched semen by Raman spectroscopy. The experiment was performed at Semen Production Centre, CVASc, GBPUAT, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. Ejaculates were collected by AV method from Sahiwal bull. X-sperm enrichment was done by the Percoll density gradient method. Three types of gradients were prepared i.e. 7 layers (70-10%), 7 layers (80-20%) and 3 layers (30%, 50% and 70%). Semen (1ml or 3ml) was placed over the gradient in a conical centrifuge tube. Centrifugation was done at 750 g (22-24°C) for 15 min. The pellets thus obtained were diluted in PBS medium. Raman spectroscopy was performed in different groups viz. fresh semen (Control), 3 layers (70%, 50% and 30% GI), 7 layers (70-10% GII), and 7 layers (80-20% GIII). Raman peaks (DNA specific) were not much clear for PBS diluted semen samples though intensities were highest for 7 layers (70-10%) among all groups. Thus semen enriched by the percoll-density gradient method (7 layers i.e. 70-10%) can be used to increase female calf birth after A.I.

Education sector ,Business field,Medical domain and SocialMedia,huge amounts of data in a single day . Mining this data can provide a lot of meaningful insights on how to improve user experience in social media, users engage in these domains collect and cherish the data as they hope to find patterns and trends and the golden nuggets that help them to accomplish their goal. For example: How to improve student learning; how to increase business profit ability; how to improve user experience in social media; and how to heal patients and assists hospital administrators. Action Rule Miningmines actionable patterns which are hidden in various datasets. Action Rules provide actionable suggestions on how to change the state of an object from an existing state to a desired state for the benefit of the user. There are two major frameworks in the literature of Action Rule mining namely Rule-Based method where the extraction of Action Rules is dependent on the pre-processing step of classification rule discovery and Object-Based method where it extracts the Action Rules directly from the database without the use of classification rules.Hybrid Action rule mining approach combines both these frame works and generates complete set of Action Rules. The hybrid approach shows significant improvement in terms computational performance over the Rule-Based and Object-Based approach. In this work we propose a novel Modified Hybrid Action rule method with Partition Threshold Rho, which further improves the computational performance with large datasets.
