Digitisation of records and archives at two selected state universities in Zimbabwe
Authors: Tsvuura Godfrey , Ngulube Patrick
Published: December 2020

This study focused on the digitisation of records and archives at two selected state universities in Zimbabwe, namely Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU) and Harare Institute of Technology (HIT). The specific objective was to evaluate the legal and statutory frameworks for managing the digitisation of records and archives at the state universities. The legislative and statutory imperatives in Zimbabwe, the exponential growth in digitised records and archiving in the state universities and the lack of capacity of records personnel with regard to the management of digital records and archives, motivated this study. The records of the state universities are stored on network servers that the university can access. However, individual users are often able to copy or move them to individual desktops and portable devices that are beyond the university’s control. The study adopted a mixed methods convergent parallel research design and collected data through questionnaires and interviews. The data collection instruments provided both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were analysed using the SPSS analytical software package, while qualitative data were organised into broad themes and the content reported in narrative form. The findings were that both respondents and participants understand the records management functions in their universities and both state universities are busy creating policies and procedures for the digitisation of records and archives in their business transactions. The findings further indicated that the two state universities were digitising their records and archives using untrained personnel. Legislation, policies, and standards and procedures were not enforced. This exposed the materials to major threats and risks in terms of their integrity, security and authenticity. The study recommended that there the legal and statutory frameworks must be formulated, implemented and enforced to cater for the digitisation of records and archives at state universities in Zimbabwe.

Authors: Ncaagae Katlego
Published: December 2020

This article presents the findings of the study which sought to assess e-discovery readiness at the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) in Botswana and make recommendations to improve the e-discovery process. The assessment adopted the Document Labs’ (Doculabs) Discovery Maturity Curve to examine: the e-discovery process; policies, procedures, and guidelines of e-discovery; and information organisation. Both qualitative and quantitative data collection tools were used. Semi-structured interviews with the records manager and IT manager were carried out to gain an insight into the state of e-discovery at the MTC and to allow the participants to describe the phenomena. With regard to quantitative data, the respondents were selected from 56 staff members in the IT, records management and administrative division, as they deal with the management of records. Data was analysed thematically and presented according to the objectives of the study. The study established that MTC was not e-discovery ready as the components that determine success in e-discovery such as undefined e-discovery processes, lack of policies, procedures as well as guidelines that promote successful e-discovery and the lack of a data map were not there. It is recommended that to be successful in e-discovery, MTC needs to develop and implement policies, procedures and guidelines for e-discovery; e-records retention policy; and a data map.

Authors: Gülersoy Erdem , Akgün Mehmet Umut , Erol Büşra Burcu , Maden Mehmet
Published: December 2020

Chlorpromazine is a sedative effective phenothiazine derivative used to prevent nausea and vomiting, especially in cases of motion sickness in cats. It has serious side effects at high doses, including weakness, tremors, loss of anal sphincter tone and reflexes, hypotension, heart rhythm abnormalities, coma, agitation and seizures. In this case report, chlorpromazine toxicity was defined in a 4-month-old, 1.2 kg male Van kitten brought to Selcuk University Veterinary Faculty Emergency Clinic with complaints of stagnation, tremors, vomiting and excessive sleepiness. Hypothermia (35.2 °C), hyperpnea (88 breaths/min), hypersalivation, constipation, excessive agitation, tremors and incoordination were determined in the clinical examination of the kitten. It was learned from the anamnesis that 100 mg chlorpromazine was given orally before the trip against motion sickness. Electrocardiographic examination determined sinus tachycardia (220 beats/min), increase in P wave amplitude, elevation in ST complex and hypotension (S/MAP/D = 148/124/112). The major laboratory findings were metabolic acidosis (pH 7.278), hypoglycaemia (61 mg/dL), leukocytosis (22.43 m/mm3), increase in blood ured nitrogen (17.7 mg/dL), creatinine (0.6 mg/dL) and ALP (121 U/L) concentrations and hypertriglyceridemia (122 mg/dL). Based on the anamnesis, clinical, laboratory and ECG findings, the kitten was diagnosed with overdose chlorpromazine toxicity and hospitalized, and put under surveillance for continuous cardiac monitoring. Lactated ringer solution, norepinephrine tartrate, furosemide, activated charcoal and oxygen therapy were given. The treatment was successful. In conclusion, it was evaluated that continuous cardiac monitoring and controlling hypotension were important in the management of chlorpromazine toxicity, and fluid therapy, norepinephrine, diuretic and activated charcoal administrations achieve success in treatment.

Published: December 2020

Pregnancy diagnosis is an essential part of fertility management in cattle. Early detection of pregnancy 21 days after artificial insemination (AI) allows for early recognition and rebreeding of non-pregnant animals with a minimum delay, which benefits the economic interest for farmers. Rapid progesterone P4 tests are widely used in fertility management strategies, yet there is limited data about the efficiency of tests for P4 measurements in cow’s milk. By measuring P4 concentrations in the milk of different breeds: Red Holstein, Black-Holstein, Simmental, and local crossbreeds, this study aimed to assess the practical application and efficiency of an early and rapid pregnancy detection test from cow’s milk. The study was conducted in 2017–2018 and milk samples were taken from animals at day 21 after artificial insemination (AI) to diagnose pregnancy. The test indicated that of the total cows (n=400) included in this study, 69% were pregnant and 31% were not pregnant, as interpreted based on the P4 Rapid (Ridgeway Science UK) test results. Accuracy of the early diagnosis was verified 60 days after AI (without further AI of cows) by rectal palpation. Based on this examination, 263 (66%) cows were diagnosed as pregnant, while 14 (34%) were diagnosed as non-pregnant. The highest accuracy in pregnancy detection was found in the local crossbreeds and the Simmental breed, with 97% correct diagnosis of cows, followed by Red Holstein with 94% and Black Holstein with an accuracy of 90%. This study showed that the use of progesterone P4 rapid tests in milk samples is an effective, fast and accurate method for the early detection of pregnancy in cows, with an accuracy rate of 90 to 97% based on cattle breed.

Bežični prijenos informacija, koristeći radiofrekvencijsko elektromagnetsko zračenje (RF-EMZ), danas ima nesagledive mogućnosti. S druge strane, osim mnogobrojnih korisnih primjena, bežična tehnologija pobuđuje zabrinutost šire javnosti o štetnim učincima na zdravlje ljudi i životinja. Unatoč mnogobrojnim provedenim znanstvenim istraživanjima, do danas nije postignut jedinstven stav u pogledu štetnosti RF-EMZ-a na živa bića. Štoviše, veliki broj objavljenih rezultata istraživanja čak je i kontroverzan. Kada govorimo o biološkim učincima RFEMZ- a na životinje, moramo istaknuti da su istraživanja provedena na velikom broju životinjskih vrsta od beskralježnjaka do sisavaca. Nakon postavljene sumnje da RFEMZ može biti jedan od mogućih uzroka poremećaja gubitka pčelinjih zajednica, provedena su brojna istraživanja na medonosnoj pčeli (Apis mellifera). U ovome su radu sažeto objašnjeni osnovni pojmovi iz područja RF-EMZ te učinci toga zračenja na ljude i životinje, a s posebnim osvrtom na zajednice medonosne pčele.
A Mobile Design Environment for Building Form Generation
Authors: Bayraktar Mehmet Emin , Çağdaş Gülen
Published: December 2020

Computer technology has affected architectural studies as well as other professions. Architectural tools are used in every stage of the design and their primary goals are transferring and sharing the ideas of the architects’ mind. Nevertheless, in the early design phase, digital design tools remain ineffective in terms of idea development. Current design software and modeling tools are insufficient for the architect to quickly share ideas and generate alternative suggestions for fast sketching and modeling.
In this paper, a mobile design application is developed. It aims to support open-ended design thinking and to be fast and effective in terms of improving ideas. It is based on augmented reality and it works on mobile phones. In order to evaluate the application, a set of images consisting of tall buildings are shown to users. Then they are asked to model a similar form of their own. At the end, results are assessed with a questionnaire. Using the obtained data, the effectiveness of the digital mobile tool in the early design stage is discussed.

Authors: Kanekar Dr. Priyanka S. , Patare Dr. Smita , Naik Dr. Roopa
Published: December 2020

Background: The modern cataract surgery involves implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) when the posterior capsule is intact. However, in case of weak or no capsular support, PCIOL implantation is not possible. In such situations, implantation of secondary Iris claw lens (ICIOL) or Scleral fixated IOL(SFIOL) remains as treatment options. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ICIOL and SFIOL in terms of visual outcomes and complications in aphakic patients. Methods: This prospective randomized study was done from January 2019 to December 2019. Forty aphakic patients fulfilling inclusion criteria, who attended the ophthalmology outpatient department of VVPF’s Medical college and hospital, Ahmednagar were included in this study. These patients were randomly divided into two groups such as Group 1 included 20 patients who underwent ICIOL implantation and Group 2 included 20 patients who underwent SFIOL implantation. The preoperative and postoperative evaluation was done with visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, IOP, fundus examination for the follow up period of 6 months. Results were analysed with Chi square test and t-test using SPSS software. Results: 85% ICIOL and 80% of SFIOL patients had final Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of 6/18-6/6. Surgical time in ICIOL was significantly less than SFIOL group (p=0.00). Suture related complications were significantly more in SFIOL group. However, oval pupil and pigment dispersion were seen more in ICIOL group but were harmless. One patient in SFIOL group developed Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) which persisted till final follow up and 1 haptic of ICIOL was disenclavated which was re-enclavated. Conclusion: Comparable final visual outcome was found between ICIOL group and SFIOL group. However, Implantation of ICIOL required less surgical time with fewer complications and hence is a better alternative to SFIOL implantation in correction of aphakia.

Transplanted autumn rice-winter rice is one of the major rice-based cropping systems followed under specific soil type and land situation that faces diverse weed flora and intensity. The soil physical, chemical and biological properties of a long-term trial, being conducted since 2001 at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, India were evaluated after completion of tenth crop cycles of rice-rice cropping sequence. Rotational application of pre-emergence, followed by post-emergence herbicide significantly increased grain yield in both the crops. The pH of the soil increased and fractions of soil acidity decreased significantly, while the cation exchange capacity and exchangeable Ca2+, Mg2+ and NH4+ increased significantly by organic manure application for partial N-fertilizer substitution. The application of organic manure significantly increased organic carbon and positively influenced available nitrogen and phosphorous content in soil. The microbial biomass carbon, urease activity were unaffected by herbicide application but were enhanced by organic manure addition. Application of herbicide significantly reduced the acid phosphatase activity in soil, while it had a positive effect on dehydrogenase activity and the effect was pronounced by addition of the organic manure. The effect of rotation of herbicide was not obvious and was limited to a few biological properties.

Cigarette-Smokers’ Problem with STM
Authors: Kamal Rup , Ray Ryan Saptarshi , Ray Utpal Kumar , Bhaumik Parama
Published: December 2020

The past few years have marked the start of a historic transition from sequential to parallel computation. The necessity to write parallel programs is increasing as systems are getting more complex while processor speed increases are slowing down. Current parallel programming uses low-level programming constructs like threads and explicit synchronization using locks to coordinate thread execution. Parallel programs written with these constructs are difficult to design, program and debug. Also locks have many drawbacks which make them a suboptimal solution. One such drawback is that locks should be only used to enclose the critical section of the parallel-processing code. If locks are used to enclose the entire code then the performance of the code drastically decreases. Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a promising new approach to programming shared-memory parallel processors. It is a concurrency control mechanism that is widely considered to be easier to use by programmers than locking. It allows portions of a program to execute in isolation, without regard to other, concurrently executing tasks. A programmer can reason about the correctness of code within a transaction and need not worry about complex interactions with other, concurrently executing parts of the program. If STM is used to enclose the entire code then the performance of the code is the same as that of the code in which STM is used to enclose the critical section only and is far better than code in which locks have been used to enclose the entire code. So STM is easier to use than locks as critical section does not need to be identified in case of STM. This paper shows the concept of writing code using Software Transactional Memory (STM) and the performance comparison of codes using locks with those using STM. It also shows why the use of STM in parallel-processing code is better than the use of locks.

Authors: Vijendren Santalaxme
Published: December 2020

Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process which follows the normal physiology trajectory through the phases of homeostasis, inflammation, granulation and maturation. Malaysia has a rich collection of plant based healing. A large number of
plants are used for the treatment of cuts and wounds by folklore traditions in Malaysia. Tinospora crispa Miers. (Menispermaceae) is popular in Asian countries for its miracle of curing diseases. T.crispa differs slightly from T.cordifolia which is well distributed in
India. Considerable researches have reported the activity of this plant possessing anti-malarial, diabetes treatment etc. In Malaysia, it is used traditionally for wound healing. Hence, the present study was aimed to evaluate its scientific validity. Stems of the plant were air dried after reduced into smaller size. Dried stems were then crushed into coarse powder. Then it was introduced into methanolfor extraction by cold maceration technique. The extract was filteredafter 7 days andfractionatedwith addition of chloroform. The methanol and chloroform fractions were made to evaporate until concentrated and formulated into ointments.Albino rats were separated into four groups of six rats in each group.All four groups were divided and served as a control, methanol fraction, chloroform fraction and standard drug (Betadine) respectively. The methanol extract and chloroform extract were investigated for the evaluation of its healing efficiency on excision wound model in Albino rats. Woundclosure in percentage was used to evaluate the effect on wound healing.The methanol fraction and chloroform fraction showed a significant wound healing activity which was well comparable with the standard drug used. Methanol fraction ointment showed greater activity than chloroform fraction. This study indicated that the methanol fraction ointment possesses wound healing property which substantiates the folklore claim.

Plant products play a crucial role in the hepatoprotection through its antioxidants property. Therefore, search for modern medicine of plant origin with this property has become a central focus on hepatoprotection today. This study investigated to search a
new hepatoprotective agent from natural sources, the methanol extract of nutitional plant, Daucus carota leaves was tested against liver damage of albino rats. Levels of serum marker enzymes i.e. SGOT, SGPT (aminotransferases), ALP (alkaline phosphatase) and TB (total bilirubin) in serum respectively. The histopathological changes of liver sections were also compared with the respective controls. 30% paracetamol induced significant (P<0.05) increase in liver enzymes alongwith the hepatic necrosis and other visible disarrangements in hepatic tissues. Simultaneously, oral treatment with kaempferol (KF) isolated from D. carota plant reversed to all the serum and liver parameters, dose-dependently, in 30% paracetamol treated rats. The biochemical results were also compared with the standard drug i.e. silymarin. These findings indicate the hepatoprotective potential of D. carota fruit against liver damage might be due to the presence of flavonoid like KF constituents.

A Trust Based Sensor Protocol for Information Dissemination in a Point to Point Media
Authors: George Nimmy
Published: December 2020

securing the information dissemination is an important issue in wireless sensor network. Previously, there is no available work on the integrated design of trust model and SPIN-PP protocol (sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation) for information dissemination in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, to improve the quality of this a trust based sensor protocol for information dissemination in a point to point media is proposed. Here, first find out trust values of all the nodes by the trust model. In the existing trust models each node’s trust table contains trust value of all its neighbors. But in this proposed solution each node’s trust table contain only its own value. So there is no need for broadcasting the trust values of all the nodes. This will reduce the transmission overhead over the network. Then SPIN-PP is used for information dissemination over the network. Here the
information can be send to the nodes with trust value higher than or equal to the threshold.

Published: December 2020

In the present study, the distribution pattern of the ultimate tensile strength of 304-grade stainless steel was investigated using a two-parameter Weibull distribution function. During tensile testing, it was observed that the ultimate tensile strength varied from specimen to specimen (ranges from 878 to 1006 MPa). The results have revealed that the distribution pattern of the tensile strength can be described by the two-parameter Weibull distribution equation. Moreover, the fracture statistics of the stainless steel were examined by plotting the survival probability of the specimen against the applied stress to the specimen. It has been observed that the relationship between the survival probability and the applied stresses can be described by the Weibull model. It also provides design engineers with a tool that will help them to present the necessary mechanical properties with confidence.
