Published: December 2022

Pancreatic cancer is known to have one of the highest mortality rates among other cancer. Monoterpenes are natural compounds obtained from essential oils of plants. Carvacrol is a monoterpene phenolic derived from essential oils of various aromatic plants.In this study, the effects of carvacrol on proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis of PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells were investigated. XTT assay was used to determine cell proliferation and viability. mRNA level expression levels of BAX, BCL2, CASP3, CASP7, CASP8, CASP9, CYCS, FADD, FAS and P53 were evaluated for determining the effect of carvacrol on apoptosis by qRT-PCR analysis. In addition, gene expressions of CDH1, CDH2, TIMP1, TIMP2, TIMP3, ZEB1 and ZEB2 were analyzed to evaluate its effect onmetastasis. Carvacrol inhibited the PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cell proliferation in dose and time dependent manner. Carvacrol treatment induced apoptosis by changing the expressions of genes important in apoptosis. Moreover, it suppressed the metastasis by effecting CDH1, CDH2, TIMP2, TIMP3 and ZEB2 expressions. In conclusion, carvacrol showed apoptotic and anti-metastatic effects in PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells. It is thereby concluded that carvacrol may have a therapeutic potential in pancreatic cancer.

Published: December 2022

Kenya is experiencing a rapid human population growth and consequently rising demand for food. This is happening at the backdrop of adverse climatic changes currently being experienced. The problem is further aggravated by the fact that more than 80% of the country’s landmass is classified as Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). In order to meet the food demand, there is need to divorce from rain-fed agriculture and put most of the arable land under irrigation. Since Kenya is a water scarce country, efficient irrigation systems are required. An efficient irrigation system that promotes use of rain water harvesting technologies and maximizes crop water productivity through use of appropriate sensors and wireless communication technology has been developed.  The innovation involves use of farmers’ earth pans for harvesting and storing rain water and irrigating fields through drip lines. In addition, smart soil moisture sensors are fitted to each field under irrigation for real-time monitoring of soil moisture content and automatically notifying an irrigation administrator through mobile phone when crops require watering. The administrator is equipped with a tricycle fitted with solar powered water pumping system for pumping water from the earth pan to the crops. When the operator receives a signal request from water sensors in field he/she moves with the tri-cycle and services it.  The smart sensors (IoT based) installed in the field will then notify him/her when sufficient amount of water has been received so that irrigation can be stopped. The operator waits for the next request from another farmer’s field to service. The technology has been tested in different portions of the university land under irrigation. The results indicate that crops receive timely watering and show no water stress. The innovation has the potential of making high tech irrigation system accessible to small scale farmers at an affordable cost and enhance food production and in turn food security in the country.
Social media and fake news:
Authors: Nkanatha John Kimathi
Published: December 2022

The upsurge and growth in the uptake of social media has had a profound impact on journalism as it has traditionally been practised. Social media has permeated all aspects of human activities and brought with it negative as well as positive effects on society. It has not only affected the way we communicate, socialize and work, but also view the world. This new media has affected the way the profession of journalism is practised. It has made it possible for persons without any training in journalism – bloggers to write and post stories without any censorship. Some of the stories are sensational fabrications lacking facts and professional editorial input – they are fake news. Social media has enabled persons without any publishing knowledge to publish newspapers, magazines and books without going through the editorial vetting process. It has enabled journalism to become a free-for-all trade where anyone who is IT savvy can write and post content that will be readily consumed by an international audience. This is done in utter disregard of journalistic code of practice and is devoid of professional ethics. The end result has been a plethora of publications which are poorly written, poorly edited and utterly lacking in authenticity and artistic creativity as we have always known it.  Not all is bleak however. Social media has come with a number of advantages that have impacted the way we work, behave and relate. Social Media has had a positive effect on society; be it in business, or in education, it has helped us to stay updated on current affairs and new developments, communication and health. Through social media, there has been an increase in the uptake of skills, new technology and information dissemination. It has revolutionized the work of journalism and made communication easier and faster. This paper has used library and internet research to evaluate the impact of social media on journalism and to suggest possible solutions to the problem of proliferation of fake news.

Introduction: Pharmaceutical Waste Management (PWM) has emerged as a challenging issue, with both health and environmental negative impacts. The study assessed the common methods of pharmaceutical waste management disposal in Nkubu town among community pharmacies and households in the sanitation service chain. Problem statement: Increasing disease incidence and prevalence necessitate healthcare practitioners to prescribe and dispense different medications. According to World Health Organization (WHO2010), more than half of all medications are inappropriately prescribed and sold, which causes unnecessary storage in community pharmacies (CPs) and households creating environmental threats that jeopardize efficiency of sanitation service chain.

Methods: The study area was Nkubu town, where data was collected by use of structured questionnaires.  size was 19 community pharmacies and 380 households. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results are presented in tables. Results: The study showed that 23.9% (n=91) of the households use pit latrines while 73.5% (n=14) of the community pharmacies use burning as the common methods of pharmaceutical waste disposal. Conclusion: The common method of pharmaceutical waste disposal being practiced in community pharmacies was burning while for households was emptying in the pit latrine. Disposal of unwanted pharmaceutical products through unsafe methods along the sanitation chain was prevalent among the respondents. Recommendation: There is need to create public awareness and establish educational programs regarding management and handling of unwanted pharmaceutical wastes among community pharmacies and households in Nkubu town.

Authors: Kagendo Dorothy , Muchiri Eric , Gitonga Peter
Published: December 2022

Echinococcus granulosus parasite exists in two distinct life cycle patterns; domestic cycle involving domestic dogs and livestock; and sylvatic cycle that involves wild canids and wild herbivores.  The disease caused by this parasite is debilitating especially in human and it causes major economic loses to the countries affected. This study was carried out to characterize genotypes of Echinococcus species and the disease epidemiology in wildlife and domestic cycles. The study was conducted in Samburu and Maasai Mara game parks and areas close to the reserves. Humans in two pastoral communities, living in study areas were examined for presence of hydatid cysts. Additionally, animal organs were collected for inspection of hydatid cysts. Faecal samples were also collected for taeniid eggs examination, and those specimens used for genotypic analysis.  A total of 4078 individuals were examined by ultrasound for presence of hydatid cysts. The prevalence of cystic echinococcosis (CE) was 1.2 % within Maasai Mara and 1.1% in Samburu. In addition, a total of 1977 organs were collected from slaughter houses and inspected for hydatid cysts, with 246 (12.4%) percent prevalence. recorded Different animals had varied frequencies of cyst burden with majority of the cysts found in liver and lungs.  Nine hundred and six faecal samples of domestic dogs were screened and a taenia prevalence of 6.1% recorded. In wild life, 729 faecal samples of wild carnivores were also collected and screened for taeniid eggs with a positivity of 7.3 %. In Livestock, specific genotypes in Samburu were Echinococcosis granulosus (G1-3) the sheep strain, Echinococcus canadensis (G6/7) the Camel strain and Echinococcus ortleppi (G5) the cattle strain. Interestingly, In Maasai Mara livestock, all samples screened typed for Echinococcosis granulosus (G1-3), the most pathogenic genotype reported globally. In Samburu, genotypes in domestic dogs were E. granulosus (G1-3) (sheep strain), E. felidis (lion strain) with other Taenia species including T. multiceps, T. hydatigena, T. madoquae.  For a few Taenia speciation was not possible. In Maasai Mara domestic dog samples, E. granulosus (G1-3), E. felidis, E. ortleppi, E. canadensis, T. hydatigena and T. multiceps were founds.   In wild carnivores, specific genotypes including E. granulosus (G1-3) the sheep strain, E. felidis the lion strain, E. canadensis G6/7, T. hyadtigena, T. Multiceps, and T. Saginata, and Maasai Mara E. granulosus (G1-3) (the sheep strain), E. felidis, T. multiceps, and T. hyadtigena were identified.  Overall, these results indicate possible interlink between domestic and wildlife Echinococcus cycles and active transmission of Echinococcus and other Taenia species. Finally, more studies on genomic differences between Echinococcus granulosus s.s genotype and Echinococcus felidis are required.
Business and strategic planning: a comparative analysis of two critical aspects of success in business
Authors: Njeru Eric , Ndabari Mary
Published: December 2022

Small businesses firms remain the most competitive industry, and they require both business and strategic planning in order to remain competitive. Small enterprises, which include agriculture and rural businesses, have made significant contributions to the economy's growth, mostly through the creation of jobs. There have been a lot of failures and a lot of bad shows. Within the first few years, many small enterprises face the prospect of failure. Many small businesses thrive when they launch, but only a handful thrive for the rest of their lives and evolve into big businesses. It has been established that lack of both business planning and strategic planning thwart them from achieving their potential. This study therefore attempts to figure out the relationship between business planning and strategic planning on business success. Based on the study literature, it was established that the most successful businesses use strategic planning, and there is a high failure rate for those who do not. The recommendation is that the business owners should be trained in the skills of both business and strategic planning.

Published: December 2022

The number of student achievements in competition is one indicator to see the quality of learning in a school. This study aims to see the extent to which the application of cooperative learning in improving students' ability to face physics olympiad and other competitions. The sample consisted of 12 students who were prepared to compete and were taken from 3 different grade levels namely 10th grade, 11th grade, and 12th grade in one of the State Madrasah Aliyah (MAN) in Bandar Lampung City. The 12 students were divided into 2: 6 students in the experimental class and 6 in the control class. The study used a type of Quasi Experiment with the design of One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Learning is done by applying three types of cooperative learning, namely Student Team Achievement Division (STAD), Jigsaw II type, and Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type with a total of 24 meetings. The results of the learning process are obtained from the results of the pre-test given to all students. In the pre-test, it was divided into 2 types, namely: Pre-test grub and Individual Pre-Test. Pre-Test grub is a test that answers questions quickly, precisely, and carefully. In the Pre-test grub, it is done by dividing 12 students into 4 grub (3 students/grub). Pre-Test grub is a simulation of LCT (Lomba Cepat Tepat). Pre-Test grub is an application of cooperative learning method type (TGT) which aims to train speed in answering questions correctly. Individual Pre-Test is Pre-Test which is done by giving students a question sheet to answer. Both types of Pre -Test are given 120 minutes each. After doing the Pre-Test, students test results were evaluated to find out the deficiencies in understanding. Furthermore, the re-learning process is given again in the form of repetition and reinforcement of material that is poorly understood before the Post-Test (grub and individual) is carried out. The results showed that there were differences in understanding the theory and test scores based on differences based on class level, the number of participants in learning activities, and the number of students practicing answering questions. The results of this study were then correlated with their achievements from the results of physics competitions at various events. The results showed that cooperative learning methods with 3 types, namely: type (STAD), type Jigsaw II, and type (TGT) can improve achievement in physics competitions. The conclusions of these results, obtained from the results of the scores on the grub or LCT competitions conducted at different times and places, and also from the results of the comparison of physics olympiad scores (individual competition). The results of this study show that the cooperative learning model has a positive impact on student achievement.

Authors: Gobatti Calça Katia , Alves Maciel Mitali Daian , Da Rosa Cerqueira Adão Sebastião Ailton
Published: December 2022

Finalidade - O presente estudo objetivou analisar a relação entre desemprego e empreendedorismo no Brasil, no período de 2016 a 2021, com enfoque na pandemia da COVID-19.
Design/metodologia/abordagem - Trata-se de pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva, utilizando o método de levantamento, através das bases de dados do IBGE, do GEM e do Portal do Empreendedor. Os dados foram tratados por meio da estatística descritiva e inferencial.
Descobertas - Constatou-se um comportamento de crescimento, ao longo do tempo, com mais ênfase no período pandêmico, com aumento de 14% de desemprego, 23% de empreendedorismo inicial e 94% de MEIs ativos. Entretanto, o desemprego e o empreendedorismo inicial apresentaram baixa associação, demonstrando que o empreendedorismo no Brasil sofre relações muito mais importantes com outros fatores. Por outro lado, o empreendedorismo inicial e o número de MEIs ativos apresentaram forte relação, a ponto de, a cada 5 novos empreendedores iniciais no mercado brasileiro, ter-se a formalização de 1 MEI ativo.
Limitações - Utilização apenas da pesquisa quantitativa, desconsiderando o uso de análises qualitativas, que possibilitariam identificar os fatores que realmente influenciam no empreendedorismo.
Originalidade/valor - A pesquisa trouxe como grande descoberta que não há relação entre desemprego e empreendedorismo no período pandêmico no Brasil, diferentemente de análises científicas e profissionais anteriores que afirmam haver tal vínculo, abrindo, portanto, uma nova visão sobre as motivações de empreender no país.

Published: December 2022

Objetivo: Verificar se as grandes empresas privadas do setor industrial atuantes no Brasil atendem aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) estabelecidos pela ONU na Agenda 2030, a fim de disponibilizar um retorno à sociedade sobre a atuação empresarial na pauta do desenvolvimento sustentável.
Métodos: A pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa, com finalidade exploratória e descritiva, e procedimento documental. A análise de conteúdo foi eleita como técnica de investigação dos dados coletados.
Resultados: Há um cumprimento parcial dos ODS pelas 20 maiores empresas privadas do setor industrial que publicaram recentemente relatórios de sustentabilidade.
Conclusões: O relatório é uma parte importante da sustentabilidade nas corporações, mas apresentá-lo anualmente não transforma a empresa em uma organização sustentável. Portanto, sugerem-se questionamentos que podem aproximar as ações das empresas às dimensões propostas na Agenda 2030. Também, recomenda-se a padronização dos ODS como caminhos para a implementação de atitudes sustentáveis nas empresas e, por conseguinte, para a construção de relatórios de sustentabilidade cada vez melhores. Isso pode favorecer análises comparativas entre organizações semelhantes e a efetivação de práticas responsáveis capazes de responder aos desafios do Século XXI.
Can sustainable urban planning determine people’s happiness and well-being?
Authors: Baschera Weligton Lucas , Hahn Ivanete Schneider
Published: December 2022

Purpose – This study was designed to present how urban planning is associated with, and explain psychological well-being, health, time use, education, cultural diversity and resilience, community vitality, good governance, ecological diversity, resilience, and living standards. We used Gross National Happiness Index (GNH) as theoretical background.
Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative and explanatory research was conducted and operationalized through a survey of 212 citizens. We used data from a mid-sized city, inner Santa Catarina state, Brazil. 
Findings – The linear regression showed that urban planning predicts happiness and well-being. More specifically, urban planning impacts more time use perception; community vitality; ecological diversity and resilience; and most important, living standards.
Research implications – we found that urban planning impacts more on the variables that are directly related to the environment, explained by the pillars of sustainable socio-economic development and environmental conservation. The individual and psychological dimensions related to health, culture, and education don't show the same impact, as well as good governance.
Originality/value: a potential study to be used by government agencies to act directly in the elaboration of public policies once it is understood that using the GNH can identify specific deficits.

Published: December 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar um conjunto de charges publicadas na revista Cadernos do Terceiro Mundo entre os anos de 1977 e 1979. A proposta é fazer uma introdução ao debate da charge enquanto fonte e objeto para uma pesquisa histórica, considerando o humor e a ironia como elementos constitutivos para análises históricas, a partir de uma revista que tinha uma circulação em vários países do continente e com forte caráter político. Como estudo de caso, será analisada a abordagem das charges da Cadernos acerca da política dos direitos humanos do governo de Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) para os países da América Latina.

A jornada de trabalho dos policiais da ROCAM do Estado de São Paulo possui uma alta intensidade e exige um alto nível performance. A fim de analisar a ergonomia presente no dia a dia dos policiais, foi realizado um questionário onde obteve-se uma amostra com 120 respostas tendo como objetivo a coleta de dados quantitativos e qualitativos em relação a profissão. Foi utilizado o software Ergolândia para realizar uma análise angular da posição dos membros do corpo durante a atividade, em seguida utilizou-se a aplicação de métodos que ajudam a avaliar as condições de trabalho. Os resultados dos métodos aplicados indicaram a existência de um risco iminente em relação as condições de trabalho e sinalizaram que se deve realizar ajustes na atividade, para evitar danos físicos futuros nos policiais. A partir das análises é possível concluir que o principal ofensor durante o trabalho é a motocicleta, na qual não possui ajustes personalizados para cada tipo de pessoa.
Avaliação de usabilidade dos ícones da interface visual do SEI/UFCG a partir de uma abordagem híbrida
Authors: Ataíde Thiago Xavier de , Silva Itamar Ferreira da
Published: December 2022

O referido artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa de mestrado sobre a avaliação da usabilidade dos ícones que compõem a interface visual do Sistema Eletrônico de Informação (SEI) utilizado pela UFCG. Os dados foram obtidos com 78 professores dos campi da instituição, a partir do uso de dois formulários on-line, um visando identificar, de forma espontânea, a compreensão dos usuários sobre os ícones; e outro desenvolvido a partir da criação de uma escala de diferencial semântico, baseados nos indicadores de qualidade de usabilidade de Galitz (2007). Como conclusão, foi diagnosticado que dos 22 ícones analisados apenas 18% possuem uma compreensão satisfatória, e os demais estão com o entendimento comprometido.

Published: December 2022

Inspired by pandemic-transformed instruction, this paper examines the digital accessibility of five tech tools used in information literacy sessions, specifically for students who use assistive technologies such as screen readers. The tools are Kahoot!, Mentimeter, Padlet, Jamboard, and Poll Everywhere. First, we provide an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and digital accessibility definitions, descriptions of screen reading assistive technology, and the current use of tech tools in information literacy instruction for student engagement. Second, we examine accessibility testing assessments of the five tech tools selected for this paper. Our data show that the tools had severe, significant, and minor levels of digital accessibility problems, and while there were some shared issues, most problems were unique to the individual tools. We explore the implications of tech tools’ unique environments as well as the importance of best practices and shared vocabularies. We also argue that digital accessibility benefits all users. Finally, we provide recommendations for teaching librarians to collaborate with campus offices to assess and advance the use of accessible tech tools in information literacy instruction, thereby enhancing an equitable learning environment for all students.
