Preparation of red fluorescent materials for a solution process using europium-doped benzoguanamine
Authors: Niimi Takahiro , Takemura Haruki , Ohtani Naoki
Published: October 2023

This study aims to develop a novel, efficient, and stable red-emitting material using benzoguanamine in which europium (Eu) is doped. We have demonstrated a simple, low-cost, gram-scale manufacturing process via an anneal synthesis method. By changing the Eu-doping concentration from 1 to 20 wt%, we found that the sample containing a Eu-doping concentration of 10 wt% shows the maximum photoluminescence quantum yield peak of 13.7%. Additionally, we confirmed the characteristic luminescence peaks of Eu ions. We also achieved a sharp red emission with a high color purity and a half-peak width of 13 nm. Furthermore, it exhibits high solubility in organic solvents, facilitating its application through wet processes. This new red-emitting material may present a promising solution for cost-effectively fulfilling the demand in flat panel displays and illumination light sources.

There are many bacterial factors that cause respiratory diseases in dogs. Bacterial bronchopneumonia is a lung disease caused by bacteria in the lower respiratory tract and lung parenchyma. In this study, it was aimed to determine Mycoplasma spp., Streptococcus spp., Bordetella bronchiseptica, Klebsiella spp., in dogs with bronchopneumonia by Real-time PCR and to compare the histopathological findings determined according to the agents. The material of the study consisted of lung paraffin blocks of 37 dogs that died due to different reasons and were found to have bronchopneumonia in microscopic examination. Microscopically, edema in the alveolar lumens, shedding of the alveolar epithelium, shedding of the bronch and bronchial epithelium and bronchiectasis, mononuclear cell infiltration (MCI) and Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) infiltration in the bronchial lumens, peribronchiolar MCI infiltration, Bacterial clusters localized to the bronch epithelium, PMNL infiltration in the interstitium, multifocal necrosis areas, bleeding and pleuritis were observed. Real-time PCR analysis revealed Bordetella bronchiseptica in 18 (48.64%) cases, Mycoplasma spp. in 9 (24.32%) cases, Streptococcus spp. in 10 (27.02%) cases, and Klebsiella spp. in 2 (5.4%) cases. In conclusion, this study showed that the causative agent can be determined in bacterial bronchopneumonias of dogs with Real-time PCR even in tissues without culture opportunity. In addition, this study indicates that polymicrobial lower respiratory tract infections can also be seen in dogs and reveals that more than one bacterial species should be investigated for diagnosis.
Psycho-demographic factors as determinants of perceived accident vulnerability among commercial motorcyclists in two Nigerian cities
Authors: ADEJUMO Adebayo O.
Published: October 2023

This study investigated the influence of psychological and socio-demographic factors on perceived vulnerability to road accidents (VTRA) among commercial motorcyclists. The cross-sectional survey included 292 participants following multi-stage sampling. A 65-item questionnaire was used for data collection. Analysis included ANOVA. regression. t-test, and descriptive statistics. Results showed that aged commercial motorcyclists operating in Ibadan with poor knowledge of road signs, who also rarely use psychoactive substances (n=25, =18.0), as well as aged motorcyclists operating in lbadan with poor knowledge of road signs, who rarely use substances (n=21. =18.0) reported the highest level of perception of VTRA. Substance use pattern (F (292) = 51.25. P < 0.01). personality (F (292) = 4. 70. P < 0.001). and a combination of substance use pattern. personality. location. and road signs knowledge (F (292) = 6.94. P <0.01) significantly influenced perceived accident vulnerability among participants. Experience in riding commercial motorcycles (t (292) = 1.299, df =289, p<. 05). and location/city (n=292, t= 1.688, p<. 05) also significantly predicted perception of VTRA (t (292) = 1.299, p<.05). This highlights the importance of substance use, personality factors (openness and agreeableness), and experience as factors critical to the understanding of perception of VTRA, suggesting the need/or strengthening anti-drug campaign. as well as psychological/personality testing in reducing road traffic accidents involving commercial motorcyclists.
Can Mobile Telecommunications Reduce Intra-city Work Travels? Empirical Evidence from a Third World City
Authors: Samuel Kayode Julius
Published: October 2023

This research work examines the impact of mobile telecommunications on work related travels in one of the business districts of Lagos, Nigeria, with special focus on within-work travels. Results of the descriptive analysis show substantial variations in the frequency of trips among employees of different industry groups, while there is no marked variation in call interaction frequency. The partial correlation analysis (r : 0.87; P= 0.000) shows a strong positive correlation between call frequency and percentage of total trip rescheduled. However, the positive correlation coefficients (r = 0.4; P= 0.000) between call frequency and percentage reduction in trip frequency and trip distance (r =0.46; P= 0.000) are weak, indicating that mobile telephone helps more in rescheduling trips than eliminating them. Also, the effects of demographic and occupational characteristics show that people of certain occupations and age make more trips and calls during working hours than others. These findings have implications for targeting workers that have a potential for trip substitution.
ls Exchange Rate Pass-through to Import Prices in Nigeria A Short-run Phenomenon?
Authors: Poloamina I.D. , Babatunde M. Adetunji , Oyinlola M. Abimbola
Published: October 2023

The study examines the extent of exchange rate pass-through into import prices for Nigeria between 1980 and 2006. The recently developed Unrestricted Error Connection Model (UECM) – Bounds test proposed by Pesaran et al. (2001) was adopted. A price model that recognized the developments in the tradable and non-tradable sectors of the economy was used. At the aggregate level, exchange rate pass-through to import prices was found to be complete. However, only the short-run effect of exchange rate pass through was evident, but occurred with a lag. There was, however, no long-run relationship among the variables. In the short run, a 1% depreciation of the exchange rate led to 1% increase in import prices. In addition, the immediate past values of world export price and tariff rate explains some of the variation in import prices in Nigeria.

Authors: Ullah A.Z.M Ahsan , Hossain Md. Liakat , Rahman Mohammad Mizanur , Ali Md. Haidar , Hasan Md. Rashedul
Published: October 2023

Background: It is well known that patients with chronic hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM) and kidney disease (CKD) have a strong risk of coronary artery disease. However, the excess risk of coronary artery disease in patients with CKD is only somewhat explained by the presence of traditional risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Objective: To find out the association between coronary artery diseases who have hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Methodology: This prospective observational study was conducted in a Tertiary medical college Bangladesh, the department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College, Bangladesh during the period from July 2021 to June 2022. Total 150 patients with coronary artery disease were included as the study subjects for this study. Results: The majority of patients were above 60 years (49%), and 40-59 years old (37%), followed by 18-39 years (35%). The female patients (n=79) were 65.3%% and male patients (n=42) were 34.7%. Gender, age and DM, P value was significant with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease among coronary artery disease patients. Hypertension and DM also significant with predictors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on a representative sample of adults. Conclusion: In Bangladesh, coronary artery disease is currently a serious public health issue. The increased rate of CAD is assumed to be caused by rapid lifestyle changes, harmful behaviors like smoking and sedentary behavior, economic development, nutritional variables, and a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and CKD. To get more granular results, we would advise conducting comparable more experiments with bigger samples in more places.

Published: October 2023

The utilization of Social Networking Sites (SNS) has experienced a surge in popularity in recent years, particularly among university students for the purposes of studying and communication. This paper investigates the experiences of university students in using social networking sites (SNS) and the approaches they choose to enhance social interaction and learning activities by utilizing social media platforms such as Facebook, You tube, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The quantitative study was established on primary data gathered from a semi-structured face-to-face and on air interview with Jahangirnagar University students who reported the multiple strategies in learning and communicative activities and experiences received from SNS. The results of the study showed how many times they spent using SNS. Despite some limitations, varsity students use SNS for social and academic purposes. Unpleasant experiences like restlessness, low self-esteem, anxiety, physical threats, cyberbullying, online harassment, were also noted by the participants. This study was done using interview with 500 students of university coming from different background. Nevertheless, there is an apparent increase in the reliance on social networking sites (SNS), which poses a potential risk to the academic, social, and physical well-being of students.
A Comparative Study between Adult and Elderly Patients for the Incidence of Bradycardia Post Creation of Pneumoperitoneum in Patients Undergoing Laproscopic Cholecystectomy
Authors: Beigh Omais Ali , Ahmad Riyaz , Zahra Fakhri
Published: October 2023

Bradycardia occurring post creation of pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing laproscopic procedures is quite common. The aim of this study is to find out which age groups between the adult and elderly population are more susceptible to bradycardia. 60 patients of age between belonging to ASA grade I and II, scheduled for elective laproscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. The patients were allocated into two groups of 30 each, Group-A and Group-E. Patients in group-A (Adult) were between age group 18 to 60 years of age Patients in group-E (Elderly) were above 60 years of age Occurrence of bradycardia (heart rate of less the 50/minute) after creation of pneumoperitoneum / gas insufflation was observed in the two groups. Comparison of bradycardia between the two groups revealed higher incidence/occurrence in Elderly group with a p-value of between 0.278 which is statistically insignificant. Bradycardia did not result in intraoperative cardiac arrest, neither did it increase the frequency of intensive care unit admission or mortality rate. Surgery resumed in all cases without adversity. Bradycardia is common occurrence post creation of pneumoperitoneum/ gas insufflation in laproscopic surgeries. It usually arises in response to gas insufflation as a vagal mediated physiologic response, and is benign in the majority of cases. Occurrence of bradycardia was more in elderly patients but did not significantly effect outcome. Deflation of pneumoperitoneum and Atropine administration are effective in reversing Bradycardia and possible avoid progression to cardiac arrest.
University Advancement Profession and the Actualization of Health for All in Developing Countries by 2030: Lessons from University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
Authors: Agbarakwe Ugochukwu Henry
Published: October 2023

Both adult and infant mortality rates have been very high in Nigeria and other African and developing countries. This situation prompted the Government of Nigeria to come up with the goal of achieving health for all by the year 2020. The targeted year has come and gone yet the mortality rate is still high showing that the country has not been doing well in the health sector. Almost every public university in Nigeria has a University Teaching Hospital which were established to provide opportunity for internship training of Nigerian doctors and tertiary health care services to the public at affordable cost. However these hospitals are performing sub-optimally as a result of dearth of modern health infrastructure. Nigerian Universities are grossly underfunded. The underfunding has affected their teaching hospitals as they depend mainly on government funding which is difficult to come by. But University underfunding is a worldwide phenomenon. In the face of this underfunding the US public universities and therefore the teaching hospitals have continued to maintain near optimal level of performance. What have they done to achieve this feat? This work attempts to draw lessons from University of Washington, Seattle, US, how it uses the University Advancement Profession to raise funds for the teaching hospitals activities. The paper presents various ramifications of the Advancement profession and, borrowing from the University of Washington, it discusses how the Centre can be used to reposition the teaching hospitals in Africa and Developing countries to start tapping from the large pool of funds existing both within the country and internationally for the development of their teaching hospitals, improve their care delivery and lead to the actualization of health for all by the year 2030.

Published: October 2023

Objective: Currently, little is known about the long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term clinical outcomes of pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study involving unvaccinated children and adolescents admitted to a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil with a COVID-19 diagnosis. Data were collected from electronic medical records for one year after the diagnosis. Results: A total of 66 children were included: the median age was 2.9 years; 63.6% were male; and 48.5% were under 2 years of age. Over 70% had at least one comorbidity prior to the COVID-19 diagnosis. During the one-year follow-up period, 59.1% of the children revisited the emergency department, 50% required readmission, and 15.2% died. Younger children with longer hospital stays were found to be at greater risk of readmission. Having cancer and impaired functionality were found to increase the risk of death within one year. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that most children hospitalized with COVID-19 have comorbidities. Younger age at admission and a longer hospital stay seem to be risk factors for readmission. In addition, the presence of cancer and impaired functionality are apparently associated with the poor outcome of death within the first year after the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Indonesia is the third largest cocoa producing country after Ivory Coast and Ghana. Indonesian cocoa agribusiness still faces obstacles, among others, the low quality of cocoa beans caused by different types of cocoa plant varieties. The amount of phenolic compounds in cocoa depends on the variety. There are 3 variety of cocoa plants, namely Criollo (fine flavoured cocoa) Forestero (bulk cocoa) and Trinitario (Criollo and Forestero hybrids). This study aims to identify cocoa varieties quickly and efficiently to control the quality of cocoa bean production. The method used in this study is a combination of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy Method and Multivariate Analysis Method. The combination of these two methods has been widely developed for the identification and authentication of types of plants that have similar or close ties. Based on the results of FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) analysis at a wave number of 4000-400 cm-1 to 15 samples of cocoa beans, a spectrum that is multicomponent and relatively the same is obtained. The spectrum data is processed by the multivariate analysis method, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and obtained that the 3 variety of cocoa can be clearly distinguished where the value of the main components (PC-1 and PC-2) is 92.03%.

Introduction: gummy smile is defined as a non-pathological condition that causes aesthetic disharmony in which more than 3 mm of gingival tissue is present when smiling. The smile is an essential aesthetic component of the face and significantly determines the perception of beauty and personality of each person.
Objective: to detail the current information related to the gingival smile, description, etiology, epidemiology, evaluation, treatment and prognosis.
Methodology: a total of 42 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases, of which 34 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant to this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: gingival smile, gingival hyperplasia, maxillary excess, orthognathic surgery.
Results: Gummy smile presents a prevalence between 10.5% and 29% of young adults, being more frequent in women, and this prevalence is reduced with age due to the drooping of the upper and lower lips, which reduces the exposure of the gingiva and upper incisors. The perception of excessive gingival display is subject to cultural and ethnic preferences, showing that the amount of gingiva presented that is found to be unaesthetic or excessive is relative and changes between men and women.
Conclusions: the smile is a common human expression that represents multiple feelings, as well as an essential esthetic component of the face and significantly determines the perception of beauty and personality of each person. The gummy smile is a non-pathological condition that causes aesthetic disharmony in which more than 3 mm of gingival tissue is present when smiling. A gummy smile can usually have repercussions in the perception and psychosocial behavior of the affected individual. The etiology of the gummy smile presents several factors, which usually manifest themselves at the same time. Treatment should be targeted according to the origin of the condition. Among the less invasive treatment alternatives are botulinum toxin injection and hyaluronic acid injection. The surgical repertoire includes gingivectomy, modified lip repositioning and orthognathic surgery.
KEY WORDS: gummy smile, gingival hyperplasia, maxilla, orthognathic surgery.

SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST: A STUDY ON HONG KONG PROTEST 2019
Authors: Balaraman Rani Ann , Loh Mei Ling
Published: October 2023

Hong Kong protest 2019 is among many major events held to protest for amendment of Extradition Law in Hong Kong. Many media platforms covered this issue as it gained popularity, and one of them was South China Morning Post (SCMP). SCMP is a press owned by Alibaba group, which is said to have close ties with the Chinese Central Government. However, the credibility of this press has declined since 2013 based on a public survey done by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Therefore, this study aims to look at the news reporting on 2019 Hong Kong protest in SCMP and the stance of the press on this issue by using qualitative content analysis methodology. In order to achieve the study’s objectives, Framing Theory proposed by Tankard is used to gain an in depth understanding on this matter. Evidently, the findings of this study found that the stance of SCMP in Hong Kong Protest 2019 is to bring negative perspective towards their readers.

Abstract: The prevalence of suicide among drug addicts is common and one of the biggest challenges faced by society. Studies have found that substance use is associated with suicide ideation. Early detection of suicidal intent among addicts is important to ensure they do not take further action to prevent suicidal acts. This study used a psychometric instrument, namely the Suicidal Ideation Behavioural Assessment (SIBA®). The four main components involved were interpersonal conflict, emotional disorder, depression, and hopelessness. A descriptive study was conducted in this study. Altogether, a total of 123 drug addicts in Malaysia participated in this study as respondents. The descriptive analysis shows that 52.85% of addicts had low suicidal ideation behaviour, 21.95% were moderate, 3.25% high, and 0.81% very high. Findings from this study showed that drug addicts have high suicide ideation, which can be a risk factor for suicide attempts. It is suggested to focus on early detection of suicide ideation. This study is expected to make a significant contribution to the government, especially the rehabilitation centre, in helping addicts who have suicidal ideation behaviours to be given better attention and psychosocial support services.

Penyusuan susu ibu adalah satu proses semula jadi yang dianugerahkan oleh Allah SWT kepada setiap manusia yang baru dilahirkan. Susu ibu membekalkan pelbagai zat yang diperlukan oleh seorang bayi. Sejarah tamadun manusia telah mencatatkan bahawa telah wujud amalan penyusuan anak orang lain selain ibu kandung. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat amalan penyusuan anak orang lain dalam sejarah Islam yang mempunyai latar belakang dan kronologi kisah yang berbeza. Metodologi penulisan artikel ini ialah kajian kualitatif menggunakan kaedah analisis dokumen dengan merujuk kepada kitab turath dan juga bahan rujukan terkini dalam pelbagai bidang seperti hadis, fiqh, sejarah dan sirah. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa penyusuan anak orang lain yang tercatat di dalam sejarah Islam telah menjadi adat kebiasaan masyarakat Arab serta peristiwa perkahwinan antara mahram susuan juga pernah berlaku dan terpaksa dibubarkan. Kajian ini juga dapat membuktikan bahawa pengangkatan anak juga menjadi pendorong kepada penyusuan anak orang lain bagi mewujudkan hubungan mahram antara ibu dan anak angkat dan memudahkan urusan pergaulan seharian. Selain itu, penyusuan secara cetusan laktasi juga telah lama dilaksanakan walaupun tanpa kehamilan dan kelahiran. Justeru, generasi pada hari ini seharusnya menelusuri sejarah Islam mengenai penyusuan anak orang lain agar dapat dijadikan panduan dalam kehidupan.
