Evaluation of coconut biochar as a soil amendment for enhanced productivity of sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) in Joanna, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice, Guyana
Authors: Roshnie Singh  , Gomathinayagam Subramanian  , Abdullah Ansari
Published: June 2023

Agriculture plays a vital role in providing food globally including Guyana, however, the increase in the human population adversely decreases farm size, which results in nutrient depletion on existing farms due to extensive farming activities on the same land season after season. Biochar is commonly used as a non-conventional farming system to enhance the soil’s quality and simultaneously to produce better yield of various staple food crops. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of coconut biochar as a soil amendment and to quantify its impact on the growth performance of sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) in Joanna, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice, Guyana. A field trial was carried out using the randomized block experimental design with 15 g, 30 g, 45 g biochar; 2 g NPK; and control, each replicated on clayey loam soil. The physico-chemical characteristics of biochar were determined along with the soil-biochar mixture before and after cultivation. In addition, vegetative and reproductive parameters of the sweet peppers, nutrient content of the fruits and chlorophyll content of the leaves were examined. The results obtained from this study revealed that biochar played a minor role in enhancing the yield of the sweet peppers (31.44 g) and amending the soil characteristics when compared to the control. It was observed in this study that soil pH (8.4), organic carbon (1.9 %), carbohydrates concentration (1.25 %) of fruits and chlorophyll content (a:5.6097µM, b: 5.4833 µM, total: 11.093 µM) of the leaves increased with the application of biochar. Based on the obtained results, it can be inferred that biochar may potentially be recommended in the range of 30 g to 45 g as a soil amendment to enhance the growth performance of sweet peppers, however, further experiments with diverse crops and soils are still required to investigate the use of the exact quantity of biochar sourced from different materials.
Current approaches in the recognition and management of eating disorders
Authors: Hay Phillipa J , Rankin Rebekah , Ramjan Lucie , Conti Janet
Published: June 2023

Eating disorders are now well acknowledged mental health problems that are common and present in people from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds.

The past decade has seen a rapid expansion in research into eating disorder interventions.

In response to the increasing burden of eating disorders, the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care has implemented significant policy changes to improve patient access to Medicare and inpatient treatment facilities.

There are several international clinical practice guidelines and a robust evidence base particularly for first line care with specific psychological therapies, including guidelines for the management of eating disorders in individuals with a high weight.

Medications play an important adjunct role in care, and novel neuromodulating treatments, such as psychostimulants, are under study.

There is emerging evidence for increased person‐centred care, with more choice in the form of alternatives to hospital inpatient programs and more respectful consideration of care for all who experience an eating disorder, including people with high weight.
Green Copper Carbonate Nanoparticles Produced by the Ureolytic Fungus Alternaria sp. Strain ccf7 and Their Antibacterial Activity
Authors: Ashengroph Morahem , Rabiei Zahra
Published: June 2023

Background: Copper carbonate nanoparticles have several applications in the fields of pigments, insecticides, and fungicides. They are also used as catalysts in chemical processes and crude oil desulfurization. Fungi can biosynthesize metal nanoparticles due to their high tolerance, extracellular synthesis, simplicity of extraction, and large-scale exploitation. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential of fungal isolates (which are resistant to copper chloride with urease activity) as biocatalysts for the synthesis of copper carbonate nanoparticles. This approach was considered due to the advantages of using fungal isolates in nanoparticle biosynthesis. Methods: In a PDA culture medium with 25 mM copper chloride, an enrichment culture was used to isolate copper-resistant fungal isolates. Fungal isolates’ urease enzyme was qualitatively assessed using 2% urea agar-based culture media. Studies on the synthesis of copper carbonate nanoparticles and the effect of different parameters on the synthesis of these nanoparticles were conducted using a mycelium-free supernatant strategy. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies were used to determine the properties of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. The selected fungal isolate was identified using macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, as well as molecular analysis using amplification of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 gene sequences. Results: Alternaria sp. strain ccf7 (GenBank accession number OP242500) was chosen as the superior strain for copper carbonate nanoparticle synthesis tests based on the pattern of resistance to copper chloride salt and the qualitative assessment of urease activity. Based on the findings of the electron microscope studies, spherical copper carbonate nanoparticles with an average size of 66.7 nm were synthesized after 24 hours of incubation at the optimal concentration of 45 mM copper chloride, temperature of 25°C, and shaker speed of 100 rpm. The distribution of the produced nanoparticles was appropriate, as indicated by a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.25. The strongest inhibitory impact of these copper carbonate nanoparticles was against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with an average inhibition of 31 mm at a concentration of 50 mg/L, according to the results of their antibacterial activities. Conclusions: For the first time, the synthesis and development of a green approach for the fabrication of copper carbonate nanoparticles using the genus Alternaria have been proposed in this study.

Published: June 2023

Objective: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and few studies have been reported investigating the effects of homeopathic therapy on PCa. Tarantula cubensis alcoholic extract (TCAE), is used in veterinary medicine as homeopathic medicine and there are various studies about the therapeutic efficacy of TCAE in treating different diseases. However, studies about the efficacy of TCAE in cancer treatment are limited.It aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of TCAE, which is used as homeopathic medicine in PCa.
Methods: DU-145 and LNCaP cells were used as PCa cell lines, and HUVEC cells were used as control cell lines. The effect of TCAE (25, 50, 100 and 250 µM) on cell viability was evaluated by Water Soluble Tetrazolium Salts-1 (WST-1) analysis, and its apoptotic effects were assessed by Annexin V analysis and acridine orange staining.
Results: TCAE decreased the viability rates in DU-145 and LNCaP cells in a time-dependent manner (p<0.01). The lowest viability rates for DU-145 and LNCaP cells were determined as 62.76±4.21% and 55.68±1.84% at 250 and 25 μM doses, respectively, for 48 h (p<0.01). Moreover, TCAE did not induce any cytotoxic effect on HUVEC cells (p<0.01). Apoptotic cell rates were found as 30.45±0.78% and 45.02±1.32% in DU-145 and LNCaP cells at 250 and 25 μM TCAE, respectively (p<0.01). Furthermore, impaired cell/cytoplasm ratio, chromatin condensation, membrane blebbing, and vacuolar damage were observed in DU-145 and LNCaP cells.
Conclusion: TCAE exerts cytotoxic and apoptotic effects on PCa cells. Additionally, due to androgen receptor status, LNCaP cells were more sensitive than DU-145 cells. However, further molecular studies are needed to determine the potential of TCAE as a new chemotherapeutic agent in PCa.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: In the current digital age, it is crucial for education to evolve to meet the changing demands of students. English language education is one such field that has been impacted by the growing expectation among students that their teachers use technology to facilitate learning. The objective of the present study was to assess the expectations of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students regarding the proficiency of their English teachers in using technology for instructional purposes, using the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework.

Methodology: This study utilized a quantitative approach, and data was collected through a 22-item e-questionnaire aimed at measuring the students’ expectations on their English teachers’ TPACK competence. The sample consisted of 363 EFL students from two different universities in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.

Results: The results showed that pedagogical knowledge was the most expected component by students, while technological knowledge was the least expected. To put it differently, the students desired their English teachers to excel in structuring lessons, managing the classroom, evaluating and assessing their progress, and being able to provide various learning experiences that catered to the unique requirements and preferences of individual learners. However, the students were not particularly concerned about their teachers’ proficiency in using various digital tools, hardware, software, and technological resources.

Conclusion: The findings of this study highlighted the importance of improving English teachers’ TPACK competence through TPACK-centered professional development programs. This study provides practical strategies for the same and opens up avenues for future research in this field.

The Comparative Performance Evaluation of Shari’ah-Compliant Asset Pricing Model and Alternative Fama-French Factor Models: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: Karaömer Yunus
Published: June 2023

This study investigates the validity of the Shari’ah-Compliant Asset Pricing Model (S-CAPM) and alternative Fama-French Factor Models, as well as the comparative performance evaluations of these models, in explaining the variation in stock returns in the BIST Participation All Index. The validity and comparative performance of the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models are measured using adjusted R2, mean absolute intercept, GRS F-test statistic, and the probability value of the GRS-F test. The empirical findings of the study, based on the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models using the return mudharabah (RMDZ) instead of the risk-free rate as suggested by Faisol, Nidar, and Herwany (2022), indicate that the S-CAPM RMDZ, S-FF3F RMDZ, S-FF5F RMDZ, and S-FF6F RMDZ are valid for the BIST Participation All Index. Among these models, the S-FF6F RMDZ performs better in explaining the variation in stock returns. To test the robustness of the empirical findings for the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models with RMDZ, the study also employs S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models created using the inflation rate instead of the risk-free rate, as proposed by Hanif (2011), in the BIST Participation All Index. The empirical findings confirm the results obtained from the S-CAPM and alternative Fama-French Factor Models with RMDZ. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to test the S-FF6F model. Additionally, the study presents an alternative asset pricing model for the S-CAPM. Besides, this study makes significant contributions to the field of finance, particularly in the context of Islamic finance.

Authors: Koçyiğit Atilla , Yaman Serdar
Published: June 2023

The speed of investors' access to information shows a parallel development with the increasing technological developments, and this situation is important for investors to direct their current savings. In addition, many psychological and sociological factors can affect investors' risk perceptions and investment decisions. In this study, the relations between risk appetite and the stock market are examined on a sectoral basis. BIST Industrial Index (XUSIN), BIST Services Index (XUHIZ), BIST Financial Index (XUMAL) and BIST Technology Index (XUTEK), respectively, representing the industry, services, financial and technology sectors, which are among the sectors that make up a significant size of the Turkish economy, are included in the scope of the study. In the study, the risk perceptions of capital market investors were represented by the Risk Appetite Index (RISE). In the study, monthly data for the period of January 2010-June 2022 were used. In the study, the relationships between BIST sector indices and risk appetite were investigated using cointegration analysis, causality analysis, impulse-response analysis and variance decomposition analysis. As a result of cointegration analysis, while no cointegration relationship was found between RISE and XUTEK, statistically significant cointegration relationships were found between other sectors indices and RISE. As a result of the causality tests, while bi-directional causality relationships were detected between RISE and, XUSIN and XUMAL indices, a one-way causality relationship was found between RISE and XUHIZ, which is from XUHIZ to RISE. As a result of the analysis, no causal relationship was found between RISE and XUTEK. Findings supporting the results of causality tests were obtained as a result of impulse-response analysis and variance decomposition analysis. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the changes in the stock values of the companies operating in the industrial, service and financial sectors shape the investor risk appetite, and the changes in the risk appetite cause changes in the stock values of the companies operating in the industrial and financial sectors. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between the stock values of companies operating in the technology sector and investor risk appetite.
