Improving the Properties of Biodegradable PLA via Blending with Polyesters for Industrial Applications
Authors: Kuru Zehra , Kaya Mehmet Arif
Published: January 2023

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer obtained from the fermentation of renewable resources, which can also be used in industrial areas. The employment of PLA is restricted by its brittle nature at room temperature. This study, it is aimed to prepare PLA blends with PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate) to overcome this drawback. Thus, it can be provided new raw materials to many sectors, especially textile, automotive and electronic products, by preparing biodegradable, environmentally friendly materials with better performance properties. PLA/PBT blends containing 5%, 10%, and 15% PBT by weight were produced in a twin screw extruder using with using maleic anhydride grafted ethylene/butyl acrylate (EBA-g-MAH) as a compatibilizer. For comparison studies, blends of PLA/PBT without compatibilizer were also prepared. Examinations on the flow, viscoelastic properties, and rheologic characteristics of prepared samples were carried out by using Melt Flow Index values and Rotational Rheometer measurements. Mechanical and impact resistance characteristics were identified in accordance with the relevant standards. Physical properties of blends such as molding shrinkage, density, and hardness values were also determined. Degradation or cross-linking-induced changes in the chain structure was not observed during the investigation via using a rotational rheometer for PBT samples at 240 °C /15 min., and PLA samples at 260 °C /15 min. Notched izod impact test results show that adding compatibilizer increases 16% impact resistance of PLA/PBT blends. The tensile modulus values of the blends containing compatibilizer decreased by 2% approximately. These results show the transition from brittle to ductile behavior of PLA for compatibilized blends.

Unyambuaji wa Kitenzi na Athari Zake katika Usimbaji wa Mada na Fokasi katika Sentensi za Kiswahili
Authors: Ndumiwe Elishafati J.
Published: January 2023

Mada na fokasi ni viambajengo vya sentensi za Kiswahili kwa mkabala wa kipragmatiki. Mada hutokea kabla ya kitenzi ilhali fokasi hutokea mara baada ya kitenzi. Hata hivyo, unyambuaji wa kitenzi husababisha upanguaji, uongezaji au uondoaji wa viambajengo vya kabla au baada ya kitenzi. Kwa hiyo, lengo la makala haya ni kupambanua athari za unyambuaji wa kitenzi katika usimbaji wa mada na fokasi katika sentensi za Kiswahili. Data za makala haya zilikusanywa kwa kutumia mbinu ya upitiaji wa nyaraka kutoka kitabu cha Maendeleo ya Uhusika kilichoandikwa na Khamis (2008). Data ya utafiti huu imechambuliwa kwa mkabala wa kitaamuli. Aidha, uchanganuzi wa data uliongozwa na Nadharia ya Upanguaji wa Umbo la Kifonetiki ya Kidwai (1999). Utafiti huu umebaini kuwa unyambuaji wa kitenzi husababisha upanguaji wa mada na fokasi katika sentensi. Mathalani, mada na fokasi husimbwa katika viambajengo vilivyobakia katika sentensi baada ya unyambuaji wa utendano na utendeka. Katika unyambuaji wa utendea, fokasi huhamia kwenye kiambajengo kilichoongezeka. Kwa upande wa unyambuaji tendeshi, kiambajengo kinachoongezwa katika utendeshi husimbwa kama mada. Vilevile, utendwa hubadili viambajengo vilivyokuwa mada kuwa fokasi na kinyume chake. Utafiti mwingine unaweza kuchunguza usimbaji wa fokasi katika utendua, utendama, utendata au mwambatano wa kauli zaidi ya moja katika kitenzi. Dhana za Msingi: Mada, fokasi, usimbaji, unyambuaji wa kitenzi Topic and focus are pragmatic constituents in Swahili sentences. Topic precedes the verb, while focus appears immediately after verb. However, Swahili verbal extensions lead to change in the position of verbal arguments, an increase in the number of verbal arguments and a reduction in the number of verbal arguments. The purpose of this paper was to examine the effect of verbal extensions on encoding topic and focus in Swahili sentences. Documentary review was used to collect data from a book entitled ‘Maendeleo ya Uhusika’ by Khamis (2008). The data was analyzed using a qualitative approach. The study was guided by Phonetic Form Scrambling Theory by Kidwai (1999). The fundings of this study show change in the position of topic and focus after verbal extension have been added in Swahili sentences. For example, in reciprocal and stative constructions, topic and focus are encoded in remaining constituents after some of them have been dropped. In addition, the applicative verb encodes new focus, while the causative encodes a new topic. Furthermore, in the passive verb extension, topic changes into focus, and vice versa. The study suggests further research into other extensions such as the reversive, contactive and positional. A study could also be done on combined verb extensions in Swahili sentences. Keywords: Topic, focus, verb extension, encoding and verb argument

Published: January 2023

Background: cardiac complications due to SARS-CoV-2 virus have caused great affections in the adult population. Post infection complications include pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications, also known as "Post COVID-19 Syndrome"; these patients are approached by complementary examinations since they present a non-specific clinical picture. Aim: to determine the main cardiac complications in patients post COVID-19 infection.Methods: a bibliographic search of articles published in the Pubmed database was performed. Results: acute cardiac injury was one of the most prevalent; other notable symptoms were arrhythmias, heart failure and, to a lesser extent, disseminated intravascular coagulation. Patients who develop shock after coronavirus infection are the result of myocardial injury in addition to other risk factors such as a history of elevated cardiac biomarkers and stay in intensive care units due to the viral disease. Another clinical manifestation with high prevalence in these patients is dyspnea, a symptom that is closely related to an intolerance to physical exertion and fatigue evidenced in periods of time less than 12 months after infection.  Conclusions: cardiac complications were arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation; manifesting mainly with fever and dyspnea, also the most vulnerable patients were those with different comorbidities
Theory & Practice of Professionalism in ELT
Authors: Keith Copley
Published: January 2023

Professionalism is a term that is often used to describe practices within ELT, but rarely precisely defined and is therefore amenable to widely differing interpretations. Within ELT the discourse of professionalism co-exists alongside practices that would not normally be associated with a traditional understanding of the term, such as low pay, job insecurity, a lack of any coherent career structure, and an absence of any agreed professional standards. Are such concepts, then, either applicable or useful for teachers in ELT? Twenty years ago, Johnson (1997) conducted a study based on life-history interviews with seventeen EFL teachers based in Poland, to uncover whether their working lives could “best be conceptualized in terms of career and profession or whether other theoretical approaches might be more fruitful” (Johnson, 1997, p 681) Based on interviews with a small sample group of experienced teachers working in south-east Asia, drawing upon Johnson’s research and taking up his appeal for more empirical data on teachers’ lives to be collected, this paper attempts to address the question of what is it like to work in the ELT industry and in doing so poses the question of how much has changed in the intervening years since Johnson’s study.

Fruit fly Bactrocera spp. (Tephritidae: Diptera) are the anxious pest of different vegetables, fruit crops and fruit orchards. The present study was carried out to evaluate the virulence of B. Bassiana against larvae of fruit fly species (B. zonata and B. dorsalis). Three concentrations [Bb1 (1×103, Bb-2 (1×105), Bb-3 (1×107) spores/ml] of B. bassiana were tested against B. zonata and B. dorsalis. It was recorded that B. bassiana provided significant morality, Bb1 (54.54%), Bb-2 (63.25%) and Bb-3 (82.76%) against larvae of B. zonata. However, For the larvae of B. dorsalis all tested concentrations were provided significant mortality (49.05%, 59.47% and 93.56%). For untreated insects, lowest (2.27%) mortality was recorded. This study is indicative of the potential of using B. bassiana isolate against both species of fruit fly thus providing a novel alternative to chemical application.

Mango is economically important fruit. Pakistan occupies 4th rank in mango production and export. Due to insects attack, US$200 million annual losses occurs. Among all pests fruit fly is one of major problem of Pakistan. These are usually controlled by the use of highly toxic chemicals that cause hazardous effects on the environment and non target organisms. In current study, better ways for the control of fruit fly were evaluated. New technique metal nanoparticles are being used for control of Bactrocera zonata, to minimize the adverse effects of insecticides on living health. For this purpose, adults of B. zonata were collected from infested fruits in mango orchards at Multan. SNPs were biosynthetically prepared with specific protocol by lemon plant leaves and toxicity was evaluated against flies to check mortality at different levels of SNPs concentrations (0pp,20ppm, 40ppm, 80ppm, 160ppm). Mortality was observed upto 7 days. Maximum mortality was observed at 160ppm (higher concentration) while minimum mortality was observed at low concentration (20ppm). It showed higher concentration appeared to be more effective for the purpose of control. Hence overall 70-80% mortality is obtained thus resulting as effective biocontrol with less hazardous effects to environment & livings.

Authors: Amna Gul
Published: January 2023

Mulberry (Morus alba) is a deciduous fruit that has therapeutic benefits owing to significant amounts of bioactive compounds like anthocyanins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. This study was designed to assess the varietal comparison of mulberry drinks. At first, mulberry fruit pulp was prepared and then evaluated for its nutritional composition. The pH was found high (6.1±0.01) in green variety compared to the pH (5.1±0.07) of red variety. Similarly, total soluble solids, crude fat, crude protein and antioxidant activity were found to be higher in the green variety compared to the red variety. The physicochemical results indicated that pH, total soluble solids, crude protein and total phenolic contents were higher in the green variety of mulberry fruit drink than red variety. Mineral analysis also showed that green mulberry drink contained higher mineral contents over the red mulberry drink. The outcome of sensory analysis demonstrated that; although both drinks were acceptable, comparatively green mulberry drink was more accepted by consumers than the red mulberry drink.

Cheese is the coagulated dairy product enriched with milk proteins, various minerals, vitamins and fat. Mozzarella cheese is white glossy soft, unripened cheese which contains 30-40% milk fat. Commonly 75% mozzarella cheese used as ingredient on pizza topping because of its stretching and melting characteristics but its high fat contents can cause serious health risks like cardiovascular problems and obesity. The current study was aimed to produce low fat mozzarella cheese by using hydrocolloid as fat substitute to overcome such health risks and quality defects on fat reduction. The prepared cheese was investigating the influence of hydrocolloid for its functional, proximate quality and sensory attributes of the developed product. The cheese was prepared at 2% fat level followed by the treatments used as @ 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% levels of guar gum in 100 ml of milk. The results showed that the use of hydrocolloid affect significantly (p<0.01) the cheese composition, functionality, texture, sensory characteristics and yield. The composition of cheese increased while functional attributes and yield decreased significantly (p<0.0.1) on fat reduction. However, the increment of hydrocolloid improved these aspects with positive values on fat reduction. The control cheese samples showed the lower value of hardness while guar gum containing cheese had the higher hardness value that was deceased gradually on guar gum concentration. On sensory assessment full fat cheese awarded maximum scores then other treatments while the sample containing 0.1% guar gum was awarded comparable scores to full fat cheese. Hence, it was concluded that hydrocolloid particularly guar gum can effectively be used up to 0.1% to improve the quality defects of low fat mozzarella cheese.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a legume crop used as a source of edible oil and protein around the world. It contains 30-45% protein and 15-24% oil and contains high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids and no cholesterol. Fifteen soybean genotypes collected from national and international sources were sown in petri dishes under lab conditions following completely randomized design in two factors factorial arrangement with three replications and four seed priming treatments. Seeds were treated with water, CaCl2 (100mM), KNO3 (100mM) and H2O2 (100mM). Statistical analysis revealed that differences among genotypes for germination percentage, emergence index, emergence rate index, radicle length and plumule length were significant. Treatments and interaction of genotypes with treatments were significant for radicle and plumule lengths and non-significant for germination percentage, emergence index and emergence rate index. Mean performance of genotypes 292 and 283 was better for most of the traits under study. Germination percentage, emergence rate index and emergence increased by application of H2O2 whereas radicle and plumule lengths decreased as compared to control.

Pulses are rich source of protein and linked to countless positive impacts on human health as well as plant health because these are the nitrogen fixing crops. Likewise, pulses centric meal are widely adopted as better source to overcome severe acute malnutrition. In Pakistan, decreasing trend in production and continuous rise in pulses prices reduced the economic access of the people particularly of people falling under poverty to pulses. Pulses are grown in the rain-fed areas in Pakistan. The unusual rainfall highly affects pulses crop and climatic conditions; therefore, farmers have a high risk of getting attractive prices consistently. Marketing of Pulses is mainly in private hands and farmers usually sell to village dealer without any value addition after harvesting.  This research is designed to identify the constraints and opportunities for enhancing pulses production and value chain development in Pakistan through employing Delphi Approach. The results revealed that lack of availability of improved varieties/good quality seeds of pulses is identified as the most critical barrier in increasing the production and cropped area under the pulses. In addition, no policy support from the government, poor marketing, and no value chain existence resulting in low prices received by the farmer   are also considered a source of the decline farmers' interest in the pulses. The findings of this study highlighted that development of pest, disease, and climate change-resistant varieties and development of competitive pulses value chains could play vital role in making Pakistan self-sufficient in the pulses. The findings identified here the important set of barriers and opportunities for the industry and policymakers. Hence these indicators should help farmers and relevant stakeholders to monitor pulses production sustainability and guide decision makers to make appropriate policies for pulses sector in Pakistan.

Published: January 2023

Colorectal cancer is one of the common cancers globally. The knowledge of primary health care physicians  (PHPs)regarding screening of colorectal cancer is important in the early identification of cancer and prompt treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the attitude, practices, and knowledge of PHPs working at primary health care centers in Buraydah, Qassim, Saudi Arabia. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among PHPs in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected using a self-administrated validated questionnaire adapted from the National Cancer Institute in the United States of America (USA). Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Descriptive analysis was carried out to assess knowledge, attitude and practices. A total of 110 primary care physicians participated in the study. Two-thirds (67%) of the participants were Saudi nationals, and a similar proportion (66%) were male. The mean knowledge score was 6.93 ± 3.39. The mean score in the attitude domain was 10.58 ± 4.02. Around three fourth 75% of the physicians would start screening at the age of 45 years. We found a lower level of knowledge but a reasonable degree of attitude. This is an important finding that despite having a better attitude towards CRC screening, the physicians working in primary health care centers of Buraydah were deficient in knowledge which may have adverse impact on their practices. Further large-scale studies are recommended to generate robust evidence on the topic.
