Stability and Finite/Fixed-Time Attractivity of Time-Delayed Filippov System: Application to Switched Neural Networks
Authors: zuowei cai , Huang Lihong
Published: June 2022

This paper studies different kinds of stability and finite/fixed-time
attractivity problems for time-delayed Filippov system (TDFS) via
time-delayed differential inclusions(TDDI). A series of novel criteria
concerning basic stability and finite/fixed-time attractivity for TDFS
are established by employing indefinite Lyapunov method. As an
application, the problems of stabilization and attractivity in
finite/fixed time are explored for delayed switched neural networks
(DSNNs), where four control protocols are developed. Furthermore,
several concrete examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and
advantages of the main results.

Published: June 2022

An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics
is proposed in this letter. The fabricated prototype of the proposed
antenna has a compact size of 30×24mm which operates at 3GHz to 11GHz
and attained dual notch-bands at 3.3-3.7GHz and 5.15-5.825GHz. The
result shows that the proposed antenna is compact, easy to fabricate and
provides good characteristics in radiation patterns and time-domain
behaviors. The simulated and measured results displayed good agreement
over the entire operating frequency band. The proposed antenna can be
used for wideband frequency requirement systems like indoor positioning.
Uniqueness in Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt Theorem over Algebraic Equivalence
Authors: Bhattacharjee Deep
Published: June 2022

Any quantum groups can be filtered via PBW Theorem over a graded algebra
where the structure representation for any supercommutator [𝗶,𝗷]
when reduced asserts a linear monomial of a canonical origin. Thus,
being independent on the swapping order, isomorphism can be seen for any
injective takeovers giving the map ψ: ℓ ⟶ U(ℓ) with the Lie ℓ through
the U(ℓ) group. This satisfies direct connectivity over

Fluctuating fortunes: stressor synchronicity and fluctuating intensity influence biological impacts
Authors: Ostrowski Andria , Connolly Rod , Brown Chris , Sievers Michael
Published: June 2022

Ecosystems remain under enormous pressure from multiple anthropogenic
stressors. Manipulative experiments evaluating stressor interactions and
impacts mostly apply stressors under static conditions without
considering how variable stressor intensity (i.e., fluctuations) and
synchronicity (i.e., timing of fluctuations) affect biological
responses. We ask how variable stressor intensity and synchronicity, and
interaction type, can influence how multiple stressors affect seagrass.
At the highest intensities, fluctuating stressors applied asynchronously
reduced seagrass biomass 36% more than for static stressors, yet no
such difference occurred for photosynthetic capacity. Testing three
separate hypotheses to predict underlying drivers of differences in
biological responses highlighted alternative modes of action dependent
on how stressors fluctuated over time. Given that environmental
conditions are constantly changing, assessing static stressors may lead
to inaccurate predictions of cumulative effects. Translating multiple
stressor experiments to the real-world, therefore, requires considering
variability in stressor intensity and the synchronicity of fluctuations.

Authors: Scott Eleanor M , Murphy Helen R , Kristensen Karl H , Feig Denice S , Kjölhede Karin , Englund-Ögge Linda , Berntorp Kerstin E , Law Graham R
Published: June 2022

  

Objective: To determine gestational weekly changes in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics and 24hr glucose profiles, and their relationship to infant birthweight in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.

Research Design and Methods: An analysis of >10.5 million CGM glucose measures from 386 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, from two international, multicentre studies. CGM glucose metrics and 24hr glucose profiles were calculated for each gestational week and the relationship to normal (10-90th percentile) and large (>90th percentile) for gestational age (LGA) birthweight infants determined. 

Results: Mean CGM glucose concentration fell and percentage of time spent in the pregnancy target range 3.5-7.8 mmol/L (63-140mg/dL) increased in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, plateaued until 28 weeks gestation, before further improvements in mean glucose and percentage time-in-range until delivery. The maternal CGM glucose metrics diverged at 10 weeks gestation, with significantly lower mean CGM glucose concentration (7.1mmol/L 95% CI 7.05-7.15 [127.8mg/dL 95% CI 126.9-128.7] vs.7.5mmol/L 95% CI 7.45-7.55 [135mg/dL 95% CI 134.1-135.9]) and higher percentage time-in-range (55% [95% CI 54-56] vs.50% [95% CI 49-51]) in women who had normal versus LGA. The 24hr glucose profiles were significantly higher across the day from 10 weeks gestation in LGA.

Conclusion: Normal birthweight is associated with achieving a significantly lower mean CGM glucose concentration across the 24-hour day and higher CGM time-in-range from before the end of the first trimester, emphasizing the need for a shift in clinical management, with increased focus on using weekly CGM glucose targets for optimising maternal glycemia from early pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE

To examine whether the effect of a 3-year lifestyle intervention on body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors differs by prediabetes metabolic phenotype.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This post-hoc analysis of the multi-center, randomized trial, PREVention of diabetes through lifestyle interventions and population studies In Europe and around the World (PREVIEW), included 1510 participants with prediabetes (BMI≥25 kg·m-2; defined using oral glucose tolerance tests). Of these, 58% had isolated impaired fasting glucose (iIFG), 6% had isolated impaired glucose tolerance (iIGT), and 36% had IFG+IGT; 73% had normal HbA1c (<39 mmol·mol-1) and 25% had intermediate HbA1c (39–47 mmol·mol-1). Participants underwent an 8-week diet-induced rapid weight loss followed by a 148-week lifestyle-based weight-maintenance intervention. Linear mixed models adjusted for intervention arm and other confounders were used.

RESULTS

In the available-case and complete-case analyses, participants with IFG+IGT had greater sustained weight loss after lifestyle intervention (adjusted mean at 156 weeks -3.5% [95%CI, -4.7%, -2.3%]) than those with iIFG (mean -2.5% [-3.6%, -1.3%]) relative to baseline (P=0.011). Participants with IFG+IGT and iIFG had similar cardiometabolic benefits from the lifestyle intervention. The differences in cardiometabolic benefits between those with iIGT and IFG+IGT were minor or inconsistent in different analyses. Participants with normal vs intermediate HbA1c had similar WL over 3 years and minor differences in cardiometabolic benefits during weight loss, whereas those with normal HbA1c had greater improvements in fasting glucose, 2-hour glucose (adjusted between-group difference at 156 weeks -0.54 mmol·L-1 [-0.70, -0.39]; P<0.001), and triglycerides (difference -0.07 mmol·L-1 [-0.11, -0.03]; P<0.001) during the lifestyle intervention. 

CONCLUSIONS

Individuals with iIFG and IFG+IGT had similar improvements in cardiometabolic health from a lifestyle intervention. Those with normal HbA1c had greater improvements than those with intermediate HbA1c. 
Verden i endring, diplomati i fatning
Authors: Haugevik Kristin
Published: June 2022

De siste tiårene har globalisering og digitalisering gjort verden mindre. «Langt borte eksisterer ikke lenger», som tidligere utenriksminister Thorvald Stoltenberg en gang fastslo. Skillet mellom «der ute» og «her hjemme» er blitt vanskeligere å trekke opp; oppfatningen av hva som naturlig hører til i den utenrikspolitiske og diplomatiske sfæren er i endring. Denne utviklingen – og vår forståelse av den – har konsekvenser for hvordan norsk utenrikspolitikk og diplomati tenkes, utformes og praktiseres.
Abstract in English:Changing World, Steady DiplomacyOver the last decades, globalization and digitalization have made the world smaller. “Far away does not exist any more”, as former Norwegian foreign minister Thorvald Stoltenberg once put it. The boundaries between “out there” and “here at home” have become more difficult to draw up; our understanding of what naturally belongs in the foreign policy and diplomacy domain is constantly changing. These developments – and our own assessment of them – have implications for how Norwegian foreign policy and diplomacy is formulated and practiced.

Regulators and payers play a pivotal role in facilitating timely and affordable access to safe and efficacious medicines. They use evidence generated from randomised clinical trials (RCTs) to support decisions to register and subsidise medicines. However, at the time of registration and subsidy approval, regulators and payers face uncertainty about how RCT outcomes will translate to real-world clinical practice. In response to this situation, medicines policy agencies worldwide have endorsed the use of real-world data (RWD) to derive novel insights on the use and outcomes of prescribed medicines. Recent reforms around data availability and use in Australia are creating unparalleled data access and opportunities for Australian researchers to undertake large-scale research to generate evidence on the safety and effectiveness of medicines in the real world. Highlighting the critical importance of research in this area, Quality Use of Medicines and Medicine Safety was announced as Australia's 10th National Health Priority in 2019. The National Health and Medical Research Council, Medicines Intelligence Centre of Research Excellence (MI-CRE) has been formed to take advantage of the renewed focus on quality use of medicines and the changing data landscape in Australia. It will generate timely research supporting the evidentiary needs of Australian medicines regulators and payers by accelerating the development and translation of real-world evidence on medicines use and outcomes. MI-CRE is developing a coordinated approach to identify, triage and respond to priority questions where there are significant uncertainties about medicines use, (cost)-effectiveness, and/or safety and creating a data ecosystem that will streamline access to Australian data to enable researchers to generate robust evidence in a timely manner. This paper outlines how MI-CRE will partner with policy makers, clinicians, and consumer advocates to leverage real-world data to co-create real-world evidence, to improve quality use of medicines and reduce medicine-related harm.
Inhibiting IL-17 Production by Blocking Endogenous RORγt Agonists for the Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases
Authors:   , Davies Daphne L.
Published: June 2022

The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. This project investigates the role of the cholesterol metabolising enzyme, CYP7B1 in the generation of the endogenous ligand of the master transcription factor, RORγt, driving the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-17 in Th17 cells. Oxysterols are oxidised derivatives of cholesterol which are intermediates in bile acid synthesis and have more recently been shown to have biological activity including roles in lipid homeostasis and immunity. This study uses an enzyme assisted derivatistion method with HPLC-ESI-MSn for free and total sterol analysis of CD4+ T cells from cell cultures isolated from healthy human donors. Inhibition of CYP7B1 activity with azole compounds is confirmed in vitro with Th17 differentiated cells isolated from healthy human donors and LC-MS analysis of oxysterols 24(S),25-diHC and 7α,24,25-triHC, upstream and downstream of CYP7B1 activity respectively. The activity of potent LXR agonist 24(S),25-EC, which is produced abundantly in CD4+ T cells, and downstream metabolites towards RORγt is investigated in vitro with CD4+ T cells from healthy human donors. The pathway in which 24(S),25-EC is deactivated in CD4+ T cells through CYP7B1 and HSD3B7 is revealed and the mechanism which determines agonists or inverse agonists activity of oxysterols towards RORγt is demonstrated through in silico molecular modelling. This study provides the foundations to progress the understanding of the role of oxysterols as RORγt ligands in Th17 cells. Further investigation may reveal a potential new target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in which elevated Th17 cells and IL-17 production are observed.
Factors Limiting the In-Service Lifetime of CrMoV Steels and Weldments for Pressure Equipment
Authors:   , Manna Giustino
Published: June 2022

This research project addresses the factors limiting the lifetime of industrial components for pressure equipment used in particular in the petrochemical industry but also strongly linked conventional energy production plants. Hydrogen attack, and the combined effect of both creep and hydrogen attack, are the key phenomena forming the object of study. These are frequently the cause of damage and catastrophic failures, with huge economic impact on the affected plants. As the study is of industrial relevance, tests representative of the industrial reality have been carried out under simulated conditions. Three steels have been selected: the standard 2.25Cr-lMo steel, which is the conventional commercial steel used for the construction of pressure vessels for petrochemical plants; the V-modified 2.25 Cr-lMo steels, which represents the steel of new generation pressurized equipment; and the V-modified 3Cr-lMo, which is also a newly designed alloy for pressure equipment use. Each of these materials was supplied with an industrial scale weldment and each test piece contained weld material. The experimental part of the thesis, which included, among the others, tests on tubular specimens pressurized with high-temperature hydrogen or argon, has been realized using the unique hydrogen creep facilities available at the Institute for Energy of the Joint Research Centre. Moreover, interrupted creep tests, mainly carried out in hydrogen, allowed to gain more insight into the evolution of the damage in the different metallurgical zones of the chosen weldments. The tested specimens underwent extended microstructural characterization by means of optical microscope, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopes. Whilst the sample made of V-modified 3Cr-lMo steel failed in the base metal, those made with standard 2.25Cr-lMo steel, or with its V-modified grade, exhibited Type IV failure, in both hydrogen and air. Based on the synergies between hydrogen attack and creep, conclusions on the evolution of the damage and the steps leading to failure are drawn. Hydrogen attack, however limited for more resistant steels, is still expected to contribute to premature failure in the weldments, and great care should be taken when introducing even improved steels into hydrogen bearing environments.
Editorial: Será qualquer poema a última hipótese de se escrever ainda?
Authors: Angélico José Pedro , Teixeira José Rui , Villas Boas Alex
Published: June 2022

Fundacional para a perceção e expressão do mistério, a linguagem poética é lugar de uma articulação paradoxal, nada acrescentando à representação descritiva do mundo. Encontrando-se o positivismo teológico em crise, paradigma que sempre cedeu demasiado à obsessão pela verdade, tem-se vindo a notar um crescente interesse pelo estudo teológico de produções literárias como lugares de redenção da linguagem referencial, própria do discurso tradicional da teologia. Na sua performatividade quase litúrgica, a linguagem poética aproxima o objeto do discurso teológico do seu eixo verdadeiramente referencial: a transluminosa treva do Silêncio (Pseudo-Dionísio).
teopoética de T. S. Eliot
Authors: Caldas Filho Carlos Ribeiro
Published: June 2022

A palavra teopoética tem sido usada para designar os diálogos possíveis entre a literatura e a reflexão teológica e/ou os estudos de religião. O presente artigo pretende apresentar um exercício de teopoética a partir da interpretação do poema The Journey of the Magi – “A viagem dos magos”, do poeta e crítico literário T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), um dos mais importantes poetas do século XX, contemplado com o Nobel de Literatura em 1948. Para tanto, o artigo apresentará em primeiro lugar breves notas biográficas de Eliot, seguidas de considerações gerais sobre o poema, com nossa proposta de tradução do mesmo, e ainda algumas considerações sobre a (im)possibilidade de traduzir poesia. Também serão apresentadas algumas observações sobre aspectos teológicos do poema, bem como considerações sobre a visão de Eliot do cristianismo. A hipótese defendida no artigo é que a viagem dos magos descrita por Eliot é uma metáfora de sua própria jornada de fé.
sentido do sacrifício
Authors: Leis Bianca Vicêncio , Barsalini Glauco
Published: June 2022

Se Jesus Cristo é o Messias, a redenção ocorreu desde o evento da Paixão e, por isso, não se justifica, em toda a cristandade, a reprodução da violência mimética. Mas se, de fato, o cristianismo é libertador, porque o universo cristão persiste na violência, aliás, para muito além dos limites do próprio ritual sacrificial realizado em diversas sociedades não secularizadas? Qual é a razão da reafirmação dos estereótipos – e da criação de novos estereótipos - e, com isso, da disseminação do preconceito, ambiente no qual o sacrifício cede espaço para a vingança cada vez mais ampliada, que aflui para a generalização? Em linguagem teleológica, por que, apesar da salvação por Jesus Cristo, o mal permanece no mundo? O pensador francês René Girard traz luzes acerca desta temática. A partir de sua obra, e referenciado pelas questões aqui anunciadas, o presente artigo perscruta o esquema do bode expiatório e a interpretação girardiana acerca do mal associado à violência, bem como da salvação, vinculada ao evento histórico da morte de Cristo.
eco da reforma protestante na retórica de Jonathan Edwards
Authors: Correia Raynara Karenina Veríssimo
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo analisar o sermão Heaven, a World of Love, de Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), sob o eco retórico da Reforma Protestante. Este, foi o último da série Charity and its fruits, pregada em 1738 e publicada apenas postumamente. Trata-se uma exegese de 1 Coríntios 13 sobre a necessidade da manifestação das virtudes cristãs, sendo a caridade ou amor a maior delas, e, portanto, a única que permanecerá no universo celestial de forma aperfeiçoada e suprema, quando todas as demais cessarem. Entrementes, nos foi possível compreender a importância da literatura em sua elocutio. Para isso, tratamos, em primeiro lugar, acerca da retórica, fazendo um apanhado histórico sobre o tema. Em seguida, detivemo-nos ao estudo da retórica dentro do âmbito da Reforma Protestante e como esta veio a ecoar no Puritanismo. Por fim, dedicamo-nos à análise do sermão focando na dispositio, que se refere à ordenação do discurso, e também na elocutio, que são as expressões linguísticas dos pensamentos formulados na inventio. Como resultado, constatamos que a apropriação dos recursos estéticos por Edwards foi a fim de promover o efeito retórico desejado no público, a conversão, fosse pela razão, comoção, medo ou pelo afeiçoamento à beleza.

Published: June 2022

Hama keong mas (Pomacea canaliculata L.) merupakan salah satu jenis hama yang menyerang tanaman padi pada fase vegetatif. Hama ini menyerang tanaman padi mulai dari pesemaian sampai tanaman padi berumur empat minggu setelah tanam. Serangan hama ini dapat mengakibatkan jumlah anakan tanaman padi berkurang sehingga dapat menurunkan produktivitas tanaman padi sebesar 90%. Oleh karena itu diperlukan upaya yang optimal untuk mengendalikan hama keong mas yaitu dengan menggunakan daun ubi dan lidah mertua. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemggunaan ekstrak daun Manihot utilissima P. dan Sanseviera trifasciatas P. sebagai ovisida hama keong mas dan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi ekstrak daun Manihot utilissima P. Dan Sansevieria trifasciata P.yang paling optimal sebagai ovisida keong mas. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari sampai dengan Maret 2021 di Laboratorium Dasar Universitas Samudra. Rancanagan penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 8 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan, sehingga sampel yang digunakan berjumlah 24 sampel. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji ANOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan uji BNT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh penggunaan ektrak daun ubi dan lidah mertua sebagai ovosida hama keong mas. Aplikasi ektrak daun ubi dan lidah mertua dapat dapat meningkatkan persentase telur tidak menetas sebesar 68,11% pada hari ke 14 setelah perlakuan, menurunkan berat telur keong mas sebesar 1,23 gr. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkam bahwa semakin tinggi konsentrasi ektrak yang digunakan maka efektivitas ektrak sebagai biofungisda semakin meningkat.

Endophytic fungi are the potential biological agent that could stimulate plant growth and inhibit plant disease. The existence of diverse and abundant endophytic fungi encourages continuous exploration. One of the plants that have potential as a source of endophytic fungi is balangeran (Shorea balangeran Korth.). The study aimed to identify the species of endophytic fungi from the leaf and twig of S. balangeran based on morphological characteristics. Fungi isolation was conducted by multiple sterilizations and purification. Furthermore, the macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics of the endophytic fungi isolates were also identified. The results showed nine colony characteristics of endophytic fungi. Endophytic fungi of Colletotrichum sp1. (SbD 1.1), Phomopsis sp. (SbD 1.3.1), Colletotrichum sp2. (SbD 1.3.2), and Beauveria sp. (SbD 3.1) were only found on the leaves, while Aspergillus niger (SbB 5.1), Colletotrichum sp3. (SbB 5.2), and Nigrospora sp. (SbB 5.3.2 and SbB 6.3) were only found on the twigs. Endophytic fungi Phyllosticta sp. (SbD 1.2) were found in the leaves and twigs. The growth rate of endophytic fungi showed that Colletotrichum sp3 (SbB 5.2) was the fastest, and Phyllosticta sp. (SbD 1.2) was the slowest among the nine isolates. Endophytic fungi that have been isolated will be analyzed for their benefits as a biological agent in future research.

Ebony (Diospyros spp.) is a fancy wood distributed in eastern Indonesia. D. celebica Bakh, D. lolin Bakh, D. pilosanthera Blanco, D. ebenum Koenig, D. ferrea (Wild.) Bakh and D. rumphii Bakh are categorized as “Fancy Wood Class I” in the Indonesian market. These woods are an important product with the highest tax compared to other grades. This study aimed to identify the distribution of six ebonies based on data global biodiversity web service (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) and their climatic condition based on global climate data (WorldClim). Data from the web service, species occurrence, and climatic conditions were processed using QGIS. Species occurrence data was then extracted using GBIF occurrence. Furthermore, species occurrence data was then overlaid with climate data using point sampling tools. The results found that three ebonies scattered in the tropics and three others (D. celebica Bakh, D. rumphii Bakh, D. lolin Bakh) mostly occurred in Indonesia. Annual rainfall and temperature conditions ranged from 1,722 – 4,013 mm and 23.4 – 27.2°C for the three species of ebony in Indonesia. The distribution and climatic conditions of ebony are the initial information for further research, such as the species distribution model related to climate change and the genetic conservation agenda.

Published: June 2022

Hypertension is one of the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) which is an important health problem throughout the world because of its high distribution and continues to increase. Hypertension is one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide and hypertension kills nearly 8 billion people every year in the world (WHO, 2015).

Preventive ways that can be done by the elderly to avoid hypertension are balance nutrition, get rid of cigarettes, avoid stress, monitor blood pressure and regularly exercise. Regular exercise can be done by means of physical exercise that is suitable for the elderly, including walking and hypertension exercise (Maryam et al, 2008). Hypertension exercise is part of efforts to reduce weight and manage stress, which are two factors that increase the risk of hypertension (Vitahealth, 2004).Hypertension gymnastics is a physical activity that is carried out in the form of special gymnastic movements for hypertension sufferers which is carried out for 30 minutes with a frequency of 3 times in 1 week. This community service activity is carried out in the working area of ​​the Purwosari Metro Public Health Center, the methods used in the implementation of this service are counseling, demonstration and roleplay. The results of this community service show that all participants can absorb information well. Evaluation of activities found that 85% of participants took an active role in the discussion and 85% of participants took an active role in participating in hypertension exercise
Goal Internalization: An Innovative Management Strategy for Budgetary performance in 21st Century Firms of Developing Economies
Authors: Umo Usen Paul
Published: June 2022

Budgetary performance of any business organization depends to a large extent on the management views of human nature and the resulting strategy design, the effectiveness and efficiency of the Goals stream, employees’ behaviour and the level of commitment towards productivity. The strategy design process may be authoritarian or humanistic. The humanistic (participatory) strategy design process has gained a lot of support in the literature on accounting and business in the modern business world. It is admittedly, a panacea for the many ills associated with authoritarian (autocratic) strategy design practiced. This paper presents Goals Internalization as an innovative management strategy that will trigger budgetary performance in firms. It further asserts that a purposeful strategy design process will catapult the Goals stream of a business organization into improved budgetary performance. This is described as the strategy Design-Goals Stream- Budgetary Performance Loop. The falling standard of budgetary performance, the regression trend in the economy of developing nations, underutilization of productive capacity, inflation rate and the magnitude of corruption have raised serious concerns.

Authors: Uddin Md. Kamal
Published: June 2022

The study aims to investigate the effect of non-performing loans on profitability with operating efficiency as an intervening variable. The study is conducted on the state-owned commercial banks in Bangladesh. The purposive sampling technique is chosen to select the sample banks. Secondary data has been collected from the annual reports of sample banks. The technique of data analysis used is descriptive, multiple regression analysis, and path analysis. PROCESS Macro Mediation Model 4 has been applied to examine the mediation effect. The study finds that non-performing loan has a positive but insignificant effect on operating efficiency, on the other hand, operating efficiency has a negative and insignificant impact on profitability. The statistical result in the direct effect of non-performing loan on profitability shows that non-performing loan has a negative and significant impact on profitability in presence of the operating efficiency. The findings in PROCESS Macro mediation effect reveals that operating efficiency have no mediation effect on the relationship between non-performing loan and the profitability of state-owned commercial banks. The study recommends that bank management should take effective measures to minimize the percentage of the non-performing loan and the operating expense to operating income ratio to enhance the profitability of banks.

Published: June 2022

Several factors including hormonal and essential elements imbalance have been identified as possible causes of secondary infertility. While some studies have suggested that zinc may have the potential of reversing sub-fertility states, the dynamics of such impact is yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated the possible outcome of experimental Zn supplementation in ameliorating infertility in induced secondary infertile Wister rats. A total of 30 female rats each weighing averagely 120g were stratified into six groups: Group 1 – Baseline group; Group 2 – animals induced with secondary infertility using Levonorgestrel (LNG); Group 3 - Secondary infertility and administered 10mgZn/Kg bodyweight (LNG + 10mg Zn/kg bodyweight); Group 4 - LNG+50mgZn/kg; Group 5 -LNG+75mgZn/kg; Group 6 - LNG+100mgZn/kg. Blood zinc and reproductive hormones were measured at pre and post treatment phases using standard laboratory methods. Results were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. A significant up-regulation of zinc in group 6 at the end of the study (pre-test Zn level= 1.39±0.1 mg/l, post-test Zn = 2.74±0.5 mg/l) and a significant dose dependent increase in the post-treatment progesterone levels in the experimental groups fed with graded doses of zinc (Group 4 = 11.34±2.2mg/l, Group 5 = 12.38±1.9mg/l, Group 6 = 15.9±3.6 mg/l) were observed. There was however a significant dose dependent drop in the FSH levels in the animals fed with different doses of zinc post-treatment. There may be a regulatory effect of zinc on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal-axis through modulation of FSH and progesterone levels in Zn supplemented secondary infertile experimental animals.
