On the So-called Akokoid/North-West Akokoid
Authors: Olaogun Simeon
Published: October 2022

There have been three main contentious issues about the nine speech forms, christened Akokoid or north-west Akokoid in the North-western part of Akoko. These issues are: (1) the appropriate name for the speech forms (2) whether or not they are dialects of Yoruba or a distinct language, and (3) the internal relatedness of the speech forms. In an attempt to resolve these controversies, some existing scholarly works have come up with some proposals and suggestions. However, their proposed suggestions and solutions have not been able to sufficiently resolve the contentious issues. This being the case, this present study, leaning on history of migration, mutual intelligibility, syntactic evidence and neutrality hypothesis, advances fresh evidence and plausible arguments that would hopefully be generally acceptable and permanently resolve these lingering argumentations. Data for this study were elicited with syntactic checklist from purposefully selected native speakers, and were subjected to descriptive method of data analysis.

Authors: Innocent Masiala Mabiala  , Séraphyn Ifuta Ndey  , Julien Punga Kumanenge
Published: October 2022

A study was conducted from 2012 to 2014 in the high altitudes of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo with the aim of knowing the rhythm of activities of the gorillas of the Chimanuka family during visits. To carry out this study, scanning and focal animal methods were used. Six social behavior activities were considered, namely ground feeding, height feeding, foraging, habitat change, family resting, and agonistic interactions. It appears from this study that these activities overlap and take place differently according to the season during the time of the visits from 8 am to 12 pm. This rhythm of activities can help to organize attractive visits then to increase the tourist affluence in the park and to realize a lot of income.

Published: October 2022

Glutaric aciduria type 1 is an autosomal recessive lysine and tryptophan disorder characterized by glutamic acid and other metabolic by-product accumulation. This disease can be diagnosed in the postnatal period, supported by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confirmed by biochemistry. This article aims to highlight the typical features of this disease in brain MRI which connects frontotemporal atrophy with bilateral and symmetrical signal abnormalities of the brainstem, periventricular white matter, and basal ganglia. As a result, we use two cases to show how this rare disease manifests itself in imaging.
Variable presentations of radiation-associated angiosarcoma in patients treated for breast cancer
Authors: Khan Samreen , Goh Steven
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Radiation-associated angiosarcoma is a rare and late complication of radiotherapy in breast cancer. Its incident is reported in the range of 0.03–0.3%. It carries a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of 43–54%. Due to its non-specific presentation, diagnosis is often delayed.

Case Report Case 1: A 60-year-old female presented six years after her breast cancer treatment with a history of bruising over the breast following trauma. Initial imaging and punch biopsy only showed inflammatory change. Her breast symptoms progressed and repeat biopsy revealed angiosarcoma. She was treated with chemotherapy followed by mastectomy. Case 2: A 60-year-old female treated for breast cancer, presented two and a half years later with subtle erythema over the breast. Imaging was normal. Punch biopsy showed angiosarcoma and she underwent mastectomy. Case 3: A 90-year-old female presented eight years after treatment for breast cancer. Her symptoms included blisters over the breast that bled at times. Punch biopsy showed angiosarcoma. There was rapid disease progression with convergence of the blisters into a large necrotic mass. She underwent a mastectomy for local control. The angiosarcoma recurred a year later and she died within three months of recurrence.

Conclusion: Radiation-associated angiosarcoma is rare but carries a poor prognosis. Due to its non-specific presentation, diagnosis is often delayed. A high level of suspicion is needed in patients presenting with unusual breast symptoms and changes post-treatment.

Sensitivity detection of hexavalent chromium in Tilapia fish (Oreochromis mossambica) during toxicity testshows the physiological alteration and endocrine disruption. Biochemical impairments of Hexavalent chromium at various sublethal concentrations, i.e., 10 ppm, 30 ppm, 60 ppm, and control for 24 hr, 48 hr, 72hr, and 96 hr in common freshwater fish Oreochromis mossambica (Tilapia fish) was monitored during thediverse exposure periods. The blood sample was collected, and the ALP test was performed byspectrophotometric technique to observe cytotoxic or genotoxic effects. Behavioral and morphologicalalterations were elucidated in the course of the investigation. Muscle, skin, a gill of fish were collected toestimate total protein and carbohydrate to notice the growth and development pattern. Toxicity tests weredetermined with probit analysis in SPSS software. The maximum increase in the ALP content was 189.47%at 96 hr of exposure at 60 ppm of hexavalent chromium. The maximum decrease in carbohydrate content ofmuscle, gill, and skin was observed to be 43.33%, -50%, and -48.27%, respectively, and protein content as -64.93%, -44.44%, and -66.67%, respectively, at 96 hr LC50 of exposure at 60 ppm of hexavalent chromium.LC50 values indicated that Cr 6+ was highly toxic in muscle, gill, and skin of Oreochromis mossambica asthere was a drastic reduction of biochemical parameters (carbohydrate, protein). The increase in ALP contentin male fish due to Chromium concentration revealed that Cr 6+ acts as a potent endocrine disruptor. Hencethe male fish was selected to find the precursor protein vitellogenin as a standard exposure indicator.

Published: October 2022

Arabic sentiment analysis research existing currently is very limited. While sentiment analysis has many applications in English, the Arabic language is still recognizing its early steps in this field. In this paper, we show an application on Arabic sentiment analysis by implementing a sentiment classification for Arabic tweets. The retrieved tweets are analyzed to provide their sentiments polarity (positive, or negative). Since, this data is collected from the social network Twitter; it has its importance for the Middle East region, which mostly speaks Arabic our research was characterized by relying mainly on the XGBoost algorithm, which is considered the most powerful algorithm in the world of big data analysis. The results were compared with several other algorithms that were used to show us the clear difference in terms of accuracy and F1 score between these algorithms and the XGBoost algorithm, The hyperparameters are obtained from the grid search algorithm to get the best performance for each model used in our work.
The results showed that our use of the XGBoost model gave more accurate results compared to the previous best-performing models in this field. A website has been created so that the user enters the comment to show him the result (positive comment or negative comment).

Published: October 2022

A PLC-based automatic transfer switch (ATS) may improve production in the industry efficiency and also the household power connection. It's an electrical switch that may be used to change the load when the main power is failing to supply electricity. Manually controlled transfer switches exist. In this scenario, a switch must be thrown by an operator to take manual control of the system. Some, on the other hand, are activated automatically when the main power source fails. When a major source of electricity is no longer functioning, power from a new or used generator can be either manually or automatically transferred when utilize a transfer switch for transferring control to the on-side application. Using a programmable logic controller (PLC), we describe the implementation and design of an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The primary function of a transfer switch is to divert electricity from the main grid to a standby power supply. Single-phase and three-phase circuit breakers, Siemens Logo PLC, relays, and indicator lights are used in this system. This portable and economic system would be helpful to every domestic, industrial, factory, and academic institution.

Authors: Rimando Mark Kevin V. , Corpuz Reynaldo R.
Published: October 2022

Document tracking is considered crucial, particularly in schools that still use traditional administration methods. Meanwhile, the usage of forms in a school's office, such as the Budget Division, is still necessary and should not be removed as per the school’s current policy. As a result, the school should have a solid monitoring system in place to ensure that these forms are stable and reliable. The tracking system is a flexible solution that may be used as a collaboration and communication tool, and it can aid in the construction of a traceable process. The researcher investigates the school's key concerns regarding using paper-based forms, as well as how the school can track its progress and location. The usage of a watermarking algorithm and a QR code-based tracking system was explored in this study. In addition, the structure, applications, security, and strategies for using a QR code are discussed. Existing watermarking technology, according to relevant research, has the opportunity for development in terms of imperceptibility and endurance in the future.
Microorganisms’ Effects and Mechanisms in Ocular Infections: A Systematic Review
Authors: Verma Shivendra , Singh Shalini
Published: October 2022

In the world, microorganisms are the main cause of eye illnesses. Common bacterial infections of the eye, if untreated, can damage the eye's structures and lead to blindness and other visual impairments. The eye may get infected from the outside or as a result of bloodstream-borne germs invading the eye. Infectious bacteria can cause eye infections. Blepharitis, conjunctivitis, Listeriosis, keratitis, dacryocystitis, etc. are some of the frequent eye illnesses brought on by bacterial and fungal pathogens. The information on the variety of ocular surface microorganisms has been significantly increased by the series of genome-based methods through 16S rRNA gene-based identification.

According to this research, a sufficient number of bacteria have a substantial part in the pathophysiology of eye illnesses, even though certain bacteria contribute to normal ocular processes. As a result, those with good vision can shed light on the intricacy of the ocular microflora and learn more about some visual requirements in addition to their vital contribution to the regular operation of the eye. Under these conditions, it is crucial to establish a quick, dependable, and affordable procedure that will eventually become a standard diagnostic process. In this literature review, many databases have searched, and the review has been methodically conducted to produce specific results for the hard eye infection disorders.

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a complex process that begins with regaining totipotency in some somatic cells, proceeds through embryo development and maturation, and ends with the formation of a whole plant. Since the first publications on SE in 1958, this regeneration process has been applied to the in vitro propagation of many plant species and has led to the development of some specific model systems. SE has been used to expand our understanding of the cytomorphological, physiological, biochemical, and genetic processes that govern the earliest developmental events in the life of plants. This paper summarizes the achievements of Polish research groups working on SE systems established for several plants (gentians, the tree fernCyathea delgadiiSternb., and conifers) and three model species (Arabidopsis thaliana,Medicagosativa, andM. truncatula). SE systems have used a broad spectrum of experimental approaches involving genomic tools (transcriptomics, proteomics, and chromatin analyses), physiological methods which focus on phytohormones, and cytological techniques. Studies on the experimental models ofA. thalianaandMedicagospp. have resulted in the identification of new genetic and epigenetic elements of the complex regulatory network controlling embryogenic induction in plant somatic cells. The protocol developed for ferns has provided a unique and simple system for cytological analysis of early SE events that occur in a single cell of initial explants. Gentian embryogenic suspension cultures have successfully been used in broad biotechnological applications, including plant transformation, protoplast isolation, culture, and fusion. Systems described for coniferous species effectively produced many vigorous somatic seedlings and cost-efficient storage of genotypes during clonal field-testing. The research undertaken by Polish scientists has resulted in developing experimental systems that have enabled significant advances in SE knowledge.

I am a British nurse and midwife who works and lives in rural India. I have lived and worked in a variety of settings and countries including the UK, Asia and the Middle East. This article is based on my experiences of teaching and working in these settings. Screaming, slapping, shouting, crying, shaving, episiotomies, soap enemas, lithotomy, fear, no consent, abandonment and an absence of compassionate care is common in many maternity units around the world. In the UK, compassionate care is considered an integral part of nursing and midwifery. As a student in the UK, I was never taught that a nurse or midwife should show kindness and compassion, it was an assumption. Yet, what happens in a community where compassion is not considered as part of the nurse or midwife’s role? Can compassion be taught or does it need to be caught? Can compassion be contagious?

Presepsin – (sCD14-ST): an early marker of sepsis
Authors: Sygitowicz Grażyna , Sitkiewicz Dariusz
Published: October 2022

Sepsis remains the leading cause of death in intensive care units in all age groups around
the world. Early diagnosis is key to achieving better results. Therefore, new biomarkers are
certainly needed that could better inform clinicians treating such patients. Biomarkers can play
an important role in this process because they can indicate the presence, absence, or severity
of sepsis and can play a key role in providing supporting information to guide clinicians to
prompt diagnosis and extend treatment beyond standard therapy. Presepsin is the N-terminal
fragment of soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-ST). Presepsin is a promising new marker for
diagnosing and monitoring sepsis. It shows high specificity, confirmed by experimental
and clinical studies. Presepsin appears to be the most promising new biomarker for early
diagnosis of sepsis and at the same time an important prognostic biomarker. Presepsin is
also a valuable tool for identifying patients at high risk of complications and in monitoring the
progression of the disease.

Published: October 2022

The objective of this study was to determine the ideal digestible arginine: lysine ratio in the diet of laying Japanese quails reared in hot climate, on the variables of productive performance and egg quality. Completely randomized experimental design was adopted with five diets and six replications containing eight laying quails (Coturnix japonica) per experimental unit, totaling 240 birds with an average weight of 169.6±0.005 g and 40 weeks of age with an initial egg production of 79.18±3.32%. The digestible arginine: lysine ratios were 110%, 120%, 130%, 140% and 150%. The arginine: lysine ratios analyzed were not able to influence feed intake, egg production, commercial eggs, egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion per egg mass (FCEM) and per dozen eggs (FCDZ); however, there was a quadratic effect for the variation in body weight. There was no significant difference for egg quality characteristics. The 110% digestible arginine: lysine ratio in the diet of laying Japanese quails reared in a hot climate is sufficient to maintain the productive performance and the egg quality.

The diagnosis of zoonotic tuberculosis revolves around detection of pathogen by gold standard culture method. In the live animals, tuberculin testing and interferon gamma assays are the options with their own limitation of specificity and cost effectiveness respectively. Clinical examination along with the affordable methods can lead to a definitive diagnosis which could help in decision making for not only the individual animal but also for the whole farm. During post-mortem examination, the post-mortem lesions with visible tubercle and acid fast staining give a fair idea of tuberculosis infected carcass for tuberculosis. The molecular testing of tissue samples with proven mycobacterial genus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (which includes M. bovis also) and M. bovis species-specific primers can add to the diagnostic strength for bovine tuberculosis. In this regard, we evaluated sequential PCRs for mycobacterial genus specific primer (hsp65), M. tuberculosis complex specific primer (IS6110 & IS1081) and M. bovis specific primer (RD4 and 500 bp) in spiked and field tissue samples of cattle. The research was carried out in 2019-20 in Division of Animal Health for framing out a diagnostic confirmation protocol for TB infected cattle on tissue samples. All the PCR assays were almost equally efficient in detection of M. bovis in spiked samples, if supported by an efficient DNA extraction method which is the foremost limiting factor. It was concluded that a combination of minimum of two assays can give a definitive result along with the support of the clinical history or post mortem outcome of the animals.

Published: October 2022

The current study tested the suitability of Illumina® BovineHD BeadChip in genotyping three riverine breeds of buffalo viz. Jaffarabadi, Murrah and Mehsana. Of the 777962 SNPs, 670955 SNPs were called in all animals and only 13150 SNPs were found to be polymorphic at a call rate of 90%, and had Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) greater than 0.05. The average Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) of polymorphic SNPs was 0.23 and average expected heterozygosity (HE) of 0.321. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed 2 different clusters where Murrah and Mehsana breeds clustered together, while Jaffarabadi breed formed a distinct cluster. Result obtained in this study indicated that the SNPs available in Illumina BovineHD BeadChip may not be good enough for studying population structure and genetic analyses in Indian buffalo breeds. Hence it might be necessary to develop a custom SNP marker panel for Indian riverine buffaloes.

Experiments were conducted to assess the effect of dietary organic and nano-particle forms of Cu at reduced levels on serum biochemical profile and immune response in improved chickens. Giriraja chicks (n=420) were assigned to starter (1-6 weeks) and grower diets (7-10 weeks) and Swarnadhara breeders (n=224) to breeder diets (28-48 weeks) during experimentation. Control diet prepared for each phase was supplemented with inorganic CuSO4 as per ICAR recommendation and test diets with organic Cu at 100 (OC-100), 75 (OC-75) and 50% (OC-50) or with nanoparticle Cu at 75 (NC-75), 50 (NC-50) and 25% (NC-25) of control. During each phase, blood samples were collected from 8 birds in each treatment. The serum total protein and globulin was higher in OC-50 and lower in NC-50 at 3rd and 48th week. Glucose content was higher in control and OC-50 as compared to NC-50 group at 3rd week and lower in NC-75 as compared to all other groups at 10th week. Total cholesterol was lower in OC-100 and NC-75 at 10th week and in NC-75 at 48th week. Serum albumin, calcium, phosphorus, triglyceride, creatinine, SGOT and SGPT were similar among the groups during 3rd, 10th and 48th week. Antibody titre against Newcastle disease virus was higher in OC-75 and lower in NC-75 and titre against infectious Bursal disease virus was higher in OC-75 at 3rd week, while similar among the groups at 10th week. It was concluded that the dietary inclusion of organic and Nano Cu at reduced levels had no adverse effect on biochemical profile except nano Cu on immune response at 3rd week of chicken age.

Natural phyto-feed additives have been identified as a potential rumen fermentation modifier by in vitro studies and by few short-term in vivo trials. However, information on impact on animal performance by their long-term administration is still inadequate. In light of this, the present study was undertaken to examine the rumen fermentation pattern, rumen microbial enzymes and microbial profiles as influenced by long term supplementation of phyto-feed additives to buffalo calves. A six months feeding trial was conducted on 20 male buffaloes (165±4 kg body weight), divided into four groups and fed on diet supplemented with no additive (T0, control), with feed additive FAI @ 1% of dry matter intake (DMI) (T1), with FAII @ 1 ml/kg DMI (T2) and with FAI and FAII switched alternatively after every 15 days (T3). No significant effect was observed on rumen fermentation pattern as well as carboxymethylcellulase, avicelase, xylanase, acetyl esterase, and protease activities in the rumen of buffalo calves. The population density of methanogens, fungi, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and R. albus decreased significantly in T3 where FAI and FAII were fed alternately, but Fibrobacter succinogenes decreased significantly in T2 where FAII was fed. When compared to the control, the microscopic count of protozoa decreased in all the three supplemented groups. It can be concluded that rumen fermentation, including rumen metabolites and microbial enzymes, were unaffected; however, phyto-feed additives exhibited changes in rumen microbes.

A Reflection On The Impact Of An Internationalisation Experience Via Digital Platform, Based On Views, Opinions and Experiences Of Students And Lecturers
Authors: Rodolico Gabriella , Breslin Mark , Mariani Anna Maria
Published: October 2022

Until recently, internationalisation of higher education was considered important with a focus especially on the UK economy. However, the conversation has changed significantly with the challenges which Covid-19 pandemic restrictions and possibly Brexit have presented for  student mobility. There has been a shift, which started even before Covid-19 pandemic, that highlighted the impact of internationalisation on improving the quality of education, research and other social goals. The focus should be on developing a culture of knowledge exchange and active participation between partner Universities with potential development of dual purposing resource, assessments, and mutual enrichment. This study aims to investigate how remote cooperative teaching, based on mutual enrichment across international Initial Teacher Education (ITE) providers, support active participation of students in international activities.

Participants were year 3 undergraduate students studying at the University of Glasgow, School of Education, on the Master of Education (MEDuc) ITE programme and Italian student teachers on the course “Scienze della formazione” at the Niccolo’ Cusano University, Rome. 

Several sessions were organised and remotely delivered to both cohort of students with a careful blending of tutors’ expertise, focused on their cultural and language diversity; a carefully planned topic of high interest for both countries: Parental Engagement in pupil’s Education; and finally, a very well taught integration of the sessions’ content and task requirements into both Universities’ assessment agenda.  Results showed a mutual enrichment and active participation which went beyond any expectations with elements of e-networking and overcome of language, communication and even possible stereotype barriers.
role of virtual placements in promoting self-regulated learning
Authors: Thompson Karen , Dale Vicki
Published: October 2022

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, universities had to shift much of their teaching online. This presented a particular challenge for work placements, which are inherently practical. This qualitative case study presents the outcomes of an evaluation of student, teacher and placement provider experiences of a virtual placement in textile conservation. A model of self-regulated learning used in clinical education was used as a lens through which to make sense of stakeholder experiences, in terms of supporting preparation for the workplace and setting of learning goals, facilitation of appropriate learning strategies, feedback from different stakeholders, and the need to support reflection on learning. Lessons learned include the need for earlier conversations between stakeholders to clarify their roles and support the successful attainment of learning goals, provide critical as well as motivational feedback, facilitate opportunities for peer interactions, use of a limited set of learning technology platforms in consistent ways, and formalising a mid-point check in with all stakeholders. While higher education in the UK has largely reverted to face-to-face learning, the benefits of virtual placements are highlighted. In the ever-changing landscape of higher education, a framework for supporting virtual placements has been offered.
