Introdução: Neisseria gonorrhoeae e Chlamydia trachomatis são as infecções sexualmente transmissíveis bacterianas mais prevalentes no mundo. Uretrites apresentam-se com corrimento de características variáveis e, quando não tratadas, podem gerar morbidades. Sua incidência está aumentando em todo o mundo. Os principais fatores de risco são: jovens, uso irregular de preservativos, múltiplas parcerias sexuais, antecedente de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e baixo nível socioeconômico. Objetivo: Identificar os agentes etiológicos das uretrites em homens com corrimento. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal em homens com corrimento uretral, maiores de 18 anos, entre outubro de 2018 e julho de 2020. Colhidos 20 ml de urina do primeiro jato para reação em cadeia da polimerase de Neisseria gonorrhoeae/Chlamydia trachomatis. Foram consideradas variáveis dependentes gonorreia e clamídia, e aplicou-se também um questionário estruturado. Foi utilizado programa estatístico STATA 10.0 para a análise de dados e associações. Aprovado pelo comitê de ética e pesquisa. Resultados: No total de 102 homens, observaram-se prevalências de Neisseria gonorrhoeae e Chlamydia trachomatis de 80,4% e 16,7%, respectivamente. A associação positiva com infecção por Neisseria gonorrhoeae: idades 25 a 29 anos [odds ratio ajustado (ORaj)=18,8 (intervalo de confinaça 95% 1,6–21,1)], 19 a 24 anos [ORaj=9,5 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 1,1–18,5)] e 30 a 39 anos [ORaj=8,8 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 1,1–12,1)], cor parda [ORaj=31,5 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 1,5–62,2)], apresentar corrimento abundante [ORaj=10,2 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 2,6–19,2)] e apresentar status sorológico positivo para o vírus da imunodeficiência humana [ORaj=5,2 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 4,9–15,6)]. A associação positiva com infecção por Chlamydia trachomatis: idades entre 30 e 39 anos [ORaj=23,7 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 1,1–14,2)], raça/cor preta [ORaj=21,5 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 2,0–22,9)], indígena [ORaj=13,4 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 2,1–15,7)], ter parceiro sexual homem cisgênero [ORaj=5,4 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 1,3–11,7)] e apresentar corrimento amarelado [ORaj=19,9 ((intervalo de confinaça 95% 3,3–28,9)]. Conclusão: Há necessidade de políticas públicas para a implantação do diagnóstico etiológico nos serviços para minimizar os riscos de complicações, visto a associação maior em jovens, pessoas vivendo com vírus da imunodeficiência humana e não brancos.

Published: February 2022

A set of laboratory tests was conducted in 2015, at the Central Seed laboratory Seed Administration, Ministry of Agriculture andForestry, Khartoum, Sudan, with the objective to investigate the effect of late sowing and hydro priming times on some seed vigour attributes of five chickpea lines ( DR1-27-5; DR1-44; DR1-109; DR1-114 and DR1- 115). Seeds were provided by Hudeiba Research Station, from planting at optimum sowing date (November); late sowing (January) of the harvest of season 2011/2012. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with four replications. Treatments were sowing dates(2), hydropriming time (4) and chickpea lines (5) Data were collected on initial moisture content, 100 seed weight, germination percentage and rate, seedling fresh and dry weights. The results indicated that late sowing had highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) effect on seed vigour by affecting seed moisture content, 100 seed weight, germination percentage and seedlingdry weight. The lines and hydropriming time showed significant (P ≤ 0.01) effect on all studied parameters. There were positive significant (P ≤ 0.01) correlation between moisture content, 100-seed weight, germination percent and seedling fresh and dry weights; but all these parameters were negatively correlated with rate of germination. Further studies are neededto investigate, in depth, the mechanism of heat tolerance and determination of the appropriate hydro-priming time for chickpea seeds

Authors: Ali Abdalla Mohamed , Hersi Abdel Karim Mohamed
Published: February 2022

The objective of this research was to determine production requirement for onion bulb crop using sets as, rarely but of high potential, planting material. An experiment was carried out at the Demonstration Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum for two consecutive growing seasons,(2010/11 and 2011/12). Treatments comprised two cultivars(Saggai and Kamlin), three set sizes (small 1-1.5 cm diameter; medium 1.6- 2.1 cm and large 2.2-2.7 cm) and three planting dates (15th of August, September and October). Treatments were arranged in a split split plot design with three replications, where cultivars were randomized in the main plots, set sizes in the sub-plots and planting dates in the sub-sub plots. Resultsindicated that increasing set size from small to large size significantly promoted plant growth. Medium set size resulted in significantly higher average bulb weight, total and marketable yields than small and large sets; however, bulb splitting and premature bolting (negative quality traits) were also high. So marketable yield represented a range of 40-46 %, 39-49 % and25-53 % of the total yields over the two years when medium, large and small were used respectively. Plant growth, average bulb weight, bulb diameter, total and marketable yields were significantly higher from sets planted inOctober and in September than in August; yet, bolting was also significantly higher. Early planting in August significantly increased bulb dry matter. Saggai cultivar had higher tendency for bolting and splitting than Kamlin when sets were used as planting material. Total and marketable yields were significantly higher from medium sets planted in October and September than in August. It is concluded that use of sets as planting material is as good as transplants, if not better, as it is more easy and adaptable to the continuously changing growing environment in terms of climate change and production cost.
Plant Growth, Bulb Yield and Quality of Two Onion (Allium cepa L.) Cultivars as Affected by Storage Conditions of Three Set Sizes
Authors: Ali Abdalla Mohamed , Hersi Abdel Karim Mohamed
Published: February 2022

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of storage conditions of different onion set sizes on plant growth, yield and quality of the bulb crop. Treatments comprised two cultivars (Kamlin and Saggai), two storage conditions (refrigeration at 2-4 ○c and room temperature around 32○c) and three set sizes (large-bulb diameter 2.2-2.7 cm, medium 1.6-2.1cm and small 1-1.5 cm). Experimental design was split-split plot design with three replications. Cultivars were in the main plots, set sizes in the sub-plots and storage conditions in the sub-sub plots. Sets were stored in the cold storage for 8 weeks; the other set lot was kept at room temperature in the shade for the same period. Results indicated that refrigerated storage of sets resulted in significantly higher plant fresh and dry weights than room storage. Large set size gave significantly more vegetative growth than medium and small set size. Response of cultivars was not consistent in both seasons for vegetative growth. Set size and set storage temperature did not significantly affect average bulb weight, total and marketable yields, bulb shape index and dry matter. Yet, refrigerated storage of sets resulted in an increase in average bulb weight ranging from 5 % to 13 % and in total yieldfrom 9 % to 18 %. Large sets resulted in increase in total yield ranged from 21 % to 23 %. The proportion of marketable yield to the total yield ranged from 67 % to 90 % in Kamlin and from 51 % to 84 % in Saggai cultivar.Regarding bulb quality, cultivars were not significantly consistent in their effect on bulb diameter and shape index in both seasons. Bulb dry matter was significantly higher in Kamlin than Saggai. Pre-mature bolting was negligible, if not at all, in the first season. Refrigerated storage of planted sets did not significantly affect bulb attributes in the first season. In the second season, however, it significantly affected bulb diameter, splitting and bolting such that it was more promotive than room temperature storage. Set size significantly affected bulb splitting and bolting such that large sets gave the highest percentage (undesirable) and the small size sets gave the lowest (desirable). It is concluded that refrigerated storage of onion sets significantly enhanced early vegetative growth, increased total and marketable yields, but also increased bulb splitting and bolting

Published: February 2022

A formação médica esteve centrada nas disciplinas técnico-científicas, privilegiando o raciocínio científico e as intervenções clínico-cirúrgicas. Ainda que as inovações curriculares denotem a necessidade de reformulação deste modelo, reorientando-o para uma formação mais generalista e humanista, perpetua-se um ensino pautado pelas tecnologias duras. O desenvolvimento das aptidões propedêuticas pouco valoriza o despertar da sensibilidade para aspectos subjetivos e relacionais. Este trabalho pretende evidenciar a importância da sensibilidade na formação médica pela inclusão da competência narrativa nos currículos médicos. Argumentamos que o cuidado integral, ampliado, se constrói pela integração da sensibilidade para os elementos biológicos, subjetivos e relacionais do processo saúde-doença-busca de cuidado, num enredo que dá sentido à experiência do adoecimento. Quanto melhor os clínicos souberem ouvir, absorver e interpretar os relatos que lhes trazem, melhor poderão estabelecer uma conexão que promova a mudança, cumprindo o cuidado.

Authors: Andrade Luciana , Fernandes Ana Paula De Jesus Ferreira , Campello Thais Batalha
Published: February 2022

Este artigo apresenta as estratégias de introdução da obra de José Saramago no ensino da medicina numa perspectiva da Medicina Narrativa atrelada ao contexto pandêmico da SARS-CoV-2. Em “As intermitências da Morte” um cenário fictício traz a Morte fazendo greve, interrompendo todos os óbitos. Em “Ensaio sobre a Cegueira”, uma epidemia atinge uma cidade deixando quase todos os habitantes cegos. Em ambos os casos, um grande desequilíbrio recai sobre a população que precisa aprender a viver com as novas situações de caos social e político. A partir dessas histórias, discussões literárias nas disciplinas de Geriatria, Bioética, Oftalmologia, Epidemiologia e outras disciplinas, podem tornar o ensino da medicina mais dinâmico e humanizado fomentando a reflexão sobre as particularidades socioeconômicas, políticas e culturais vivenciadas pelas pessoas que buscam atendimento de saúde, sobretudo no contexto brasileiro do Sistema Único de Saúde.

Student engagement is an important contributor to academic success. In the learning arrangement in a pre-school in Quezon city, students attended the online class and answered workbooks and worksheets as offline learning activities. These paper-and-pen activities did not motivate the students as they delayed doing the task. The present study aimed at incorporating play-based activities to increase the pre-school students' engagement in their offline learning activities. The study was conducted among 20 preschool students with the help of the parents in implementing the play-based offline activities. Responses regarding students’ engagement were documented using the student engagement tool that parents accomplished every after offline activity, reflections notes, and survey questionnaires. A focus group discussion was also organized at the end of the study. The findings in this study show that the use of offline play-based activities improved student engagement in three dimensions - cognitive, emotion, and behavior. Students who previously expressed disinterest towards offline activities demonstrated self-motivation, conceptual understanding, engagement in physical activities, and have nurtured positive relationships among the students, their parents, and their siblings throughout the study. Considering the parents’ feedback, the researchers further modified the design of the instructional activities to address prior poor student engagement by incorporating music and movement, balancing play and work in the activities, and by sending the guides earlier for the convenience of the parents. It is recommended that future research delve into the difference in engagement among different class hours, given that more students in the late morning and early afternoon sessions showed poorer engagement in offline paper-and-pencil activities prior to the intervention being made. Future research can also focus on the influence of fathers on their child’s engagement, implementation of play-based activities in public schools adopting the modular approach, and parent-teacher relationship in managing and handling students' mental wellness.

Authors: Ezeagba Charles Emenike
Published: February 2022

The main objective of this study is to determine effect of human capital development on the financial performance of banks in Nigeria. The specific objectives were to find out if there exist a significant relationship between human capital development and earnings per share , net profit margin, return on asset and return on equity of banks in Nigeria. To achieve the aim of this study, the Ex-post facto research design and secondary data were used. Data on EPS, PAT, Personnel cost, Total asset, Equity and were extracted from 2005-2015 annual financial statement of selected quoted commercial banks. Data on human capital (HCROI was the proxy used for measuring human capital) which was the independent variable, and financial performance indicators (EPS, NPM, ROA, ROE) which were the dependent variables were subjected to simple regression technique in order to analyze and establish the relationship between the variable and to test the hypotheses. The test showed that there no significant relationship between human capital development and EPS of banks in Nigeria, since p= sig= 0.350 > 0.05. However human capital was seen to have a strong positive relationship with net profit margin, return on asset , and return on equity which was 0.904, 0 .866 and 0.340 respectively as indicated by the R, which was the correlation coefficient of the two variables , also R2 which were 0.818, 0.750 and 0.115 , further revealed that human capital development accounts for 81.8%, 75% and 11.5% , contribution in Net Profit Margin , Return on asset and Return on equity of banks in Nigeria respectively, also their test showed that there was a significant relationship between human capital development and these variables since p= sig= .000 0.05 . The study shows that the importance of human resource development cannot be overemphasized in the banking industry, and that proper and adequate investments in human capital development in the banking sector will indeed bring about positive improvement in their organizational performance . Based on the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be intensified by the banking institution and the government to increase investment on Human capital, which in the long run will lead to an increase in the performance of these institution and the country at large.
Domestic Manufacturing Trends within Developing Nations Following WTO Accession
Authors: James J. Tanoos
Published: February 2022

The shift in the new members of the World Trade Organization from developed countries to underdeveloped countries has resulted in vastly increased access to new export markets for these underdeveloped countries. As such, the process of accession into the WTO has been increasingly coveted by underdeveloped countries, and numerous studies highlighted increased trade in the years after WTO accession for a new member. Underdeveloped WTO member countries, in particular China, have received a unprecedented scrutiny in international trade, as their overall economies have greatly benefited, prompting anti-dumping grievances from developed countries due to their massive success in the export of manufactured goods. This has changed the purview of the WTO from trade dispute resolution to trade protection. Nevertheless, the economic success accruing in China after WTO membership in 2001 has been so substantial that other countries are devoting vast resources to seeking and navigating through the accession process, provoking coinciding outcries from developed countries for a more stringent WTO accession process because of protectionist concerns about the dumping of products from underdeveloped countries into their domestic markets. This study will assess manufacturing-related GDP in developing countries after WTO accession in order to determine the validity of these recent complaints directed at the WTO.
Social Consciousness and Indifferent Business Postures
Authors: Subramanian K. R.
Published: February 2022

Businesses are created, sustained and expanded to gain more profit to the stake holders particularly the business owners. Social Responsibility of Business is talked about loudly, but there is lack of awareness of ‘Social Consciousness’. At the grass root level business practices are in line with unscrupulous political and bureaucratic maneuvers to make a fast buck out of any situation of discomfort of people at large. Social consciousness of business is of recent origin and many American and foreign businesses are aware of the importance of this. India, which has contributed so much by Vedic and Upanishad literature to raise the level of consciousness has not lived up to raising consciousness of business to this level. The recent example is the ‘Fire’ accident at the Chennai silks building. An estimated one million Liters of water was consumed to control the fire at the cost of starving the parched city dwellers and depriving them of drinking water. When the whole city is reeling under shortage of drinking water is it not a moral responsibility of the owners of business to make some alternate arrangements or at least offer an apology? Where is the social consciousness gone? The subject matter of this article is the ‘Social Consciousness’.

Cloud computing is one of the most important research area. The cloud information don't seem to be safe and secured, because the third parties will access and acquire the knowledge from cloud at any time and will misuse the data or information of a particular user or organization and thus it is concerned, the information stored in cloud should come with the guarantee of security. The effectiveness of the planned design is evaluated through theoretical analysis and intensive experimental results supported a model implementation subject to the TPC-C (Transaction Processing Control) normal benchmark for various numbers of purchasers and network latencies. Information and table information area unit encrypted through constant encoding key before being saved. This encoding secret is known as a passkey. Only trusted clients that already know the key will rewrite the information and acquire data that is necessary to code and rewrite tenant knowledge. Each information is retrieved by purchasers through associated ID. The ID which is generated by the Message Authentication Code (MAC) function to the name of the object (database or table) described by the corresponding row. Deterministic MACfunction allows clients to retrieve the information of a given table by knowing its plaintext name. The advantage during this design is to boost smart Quality of Service (QoS) and Distributing knowledge among completely different suppliers and taking advantage of secret sharing

Published: February 2022

FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that hides (encrypts) the username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS ("FTPS"). SSH File Transfer Protocol ("SFTP") is sometimes also used instead, but is technologically different.

Application of Latent Roots Regression to Multicollinear Data
Authors: Al Kassab Mowafaq Muhammed , Adeen Younis Dilnas Salah
Published: February 2022

Several applications are based on the assessment of a linear model including a variable y to Predictors  x1, x2,..,xp. It often occurs that the predictors are collinear which results in a high instability of the model obtained by means of multiple linear regression using least squares estimation. Several alternative methods have been proposed in order to tackle this problem. Among these methods Ridge Regression, Principal Component  Regression .We discuss a third method called Latent  Root Regression. This method  depends on the Eigen values and Eigen vectors of the matrix A'A ,where A is the matrix of  y and x1, x2,..,xp . We introduce some properties of latent root regression which give new insight into the determination of a prediction model. Thus, a model may be determined by combining latent root estimators in such a way that the associated mean squared error is minimized .The method is illustrated using three real data sets. Namely: Economical , Medical and Environmental data . According to applications, our new estimators depending on the Latent Root Regression have better performances in the sense of MSE in most of the situations.

Evaluation and Modelling of UHF Radiowave Propagation in a Forested Environment
Authors: Yadav Yogita
Published: February 2022

Wireless network optimal performance is a major interest in communication engineering. Radio wave propagation in forested environment has been the interest of much theoretical and experimental research over the years. One of the concepts is to use wireless empirical models to predict wireless link quality of service such as path loss and the received power in a transmission domain with irregular terrain. Measurement results of signal strength in UHF band obtained during the two prominent seasons; raining season (when the trees are in leaf) and dry season (when the trees are relatively out of leaf) Idanre-Apomu axis of Ondo State Nigeria were validated against theoretical estimations. However, using the least squared error fit for several sets of measurement data, an empirical model was developed and incorporated into Matlab graphical user interface (GUI) which can be deployed by wireless communication network providers in wireless networks design for path loss prediction and received power in a forested environment.

5G or the 5th generation of mobile technology, is a name used in many research papers and projects to denote the next phase after the upcoming 4G standards. Currently the term 5G is not official. In this generation researches are being made on WORLD WIDE WIRELESS WEB (WWWW), DYNAMIC ADHOC WIRELESS NETWORKS (DAWN) and REAL WIRELESS WORLD. New standard technology releases are in development beyond 4G but are not considered as new mobile technologies, because 4G implementation and complaint handling regarding the 4G system are still under development. This paper is focused on network Architecture of 5G Technology and evolution from 1G to 5G. The fifth generation will provide very high speed and affordable broadband wireless connectivity and services like documentation, supporting e-transactions etc.

Today, scientific journals undoubtedly represent the most vital means for disseminating research findings. Often, the research challenges common assumptions and/or the research data presented in the published scientific literature in order to gain a clearer understanding of the facts and findings. Depending upon the policies of a given journal, articles may include reports of original research, re-analyses of others’ research, reviews of the literature in a specific area, proposals of new but untested theories, or opinion pieces. One can also say that, journals are fundamental to formal scholarly communication. It is also observed that for more than three centuries, scholarly journals have played a pivotal role in the creation and dissemination of knowledge by serving as the primary medium of scholarly communication. This has however remained unchanged in form and function over its lifetime. It is now very clear that science as we know it is scarcely imaginable without the scholarly journal [1, 2]. A research study was undertaken to study the ‘Advantages and Disadvantages of Electronic Journals’ The geographic boundary of this research study consisted of 16 prominent aerospace organizations of Bangalore. The age-group of this study was between 21-60 years. The broad areas of specialization of the Aerospace Scientists and Engineers have been classified into (a) Thermal and Fluid Sciences, (b) Avionics, Guidance and Control, (c) Aerospace Structures and Allied Mechanical Sciences, (d) Materials and Metallurgy, (e) Flight Operations and other Allied Disciplines, and (f) General Engineering and Support Sciences. The major conclusions of this study are: (a) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied for testing the significant difference among the 16 mean scores attained from the scientists and engineers of the aerospace organizations for ‘Advantages of Use of e-Journals’. It is observed that all the 16 aerospace organizations show a significant difference (P < 0.05) in their mean scores viz., ‘Current / Up to Date Information’, Ease of Search’, Ease of Browsing’, Multi-User Access, Fast Access, ‘Ability to Download’, ’24 Hour Access’, ‘Available Before Print’, ‘Search-ability of Databases among Journals’, ‘e-Back Volumes are Available’, ‘Non-Availability of Print Volumes’, ‘Easy Backup Availability’ and ‘Multiple e-Choice of Formats (PDF, RTF, DOC and HTML)’. (b) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied for testing the significant difference among the 16 mean scores attained from the scientists and engineers of the aerospace organizations for ‘Disadvantages of e-Journals’. It is observed that all the 16 aerospace organizations show a significant difference (P < 0.05) in their mean scores viz., ‘Slow Downloads’, ‘Additional Payment’, ‘Problems with Print Facilities in Databases’, ‘Dependence on Connectivity’, ‘Quality of Print Images is Low’ and ‘It is Difficult to Read on Screen,

Published: February 2022

Recent years there has been a increasing trend to implement digital signal processing functions in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). therefor, we need to put great effort in designing efficient architectures for digital signal processing functions such as FIR filters, which are widely used in audio and video signal processing, telecommunications etc. We are going to present a method for implementing high speed Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters using MAC (MULTIPLY AND ACCUMULATE) and Distributed Arithmetic (DA) method. MAC is a conventional FIR filter In these method adders, multipliers and delay elements are used. Distributed Arithmetic (DA) has been used to implement a bit-serial scheme of a general symmetric version of an FIR filter due to its high stability and linearity by taking optimal advantage of the look-up table (LUT) based structure of FPGAs. The performance of the DA technique for FIR filter design is analyzed and the results are compared to the MAC design technique.

Published: February 2022

In this paper, a log periodic fractal Koch antenna is proposed. The antenna is an amalgamation of log periodic antennas that require large lengths and fractal curves that are known for excellent form factor characteristics. The procedure is to design the LPFKA with three different numbers of iterations for better appraisal. The Zeland IE3D software has been used to analyze the performances of the designed antennas such as return loss, radiation patterns and gain. The antennas have been fabricated using FR4 laminate board thickness 1.6 mm and relative permittivity of 4.4 and mounted above the ground plane at a height of 6 mm. Using fractal Koch technique, the return loss of the antenna can be reduced up to 72% when the series iteration is applied to the antennas without degrading the overall performances.

One of the most common pieces of equipment found in all biomedical and research laboratories are the specimen refrigerator. While seeming not as glamorous or fancy as some of the other laboratory equipment, the specimen refrigerator plays a crucial role in laboratory research. Almost all experiment involving living cultures or specimens require them to be maintained at a specific temperature. Sometimes the temperature change can be for preservation purposes and sometimes it might be to simulate an actualenvironmental condition. Nevertheless, temperature control of experiments is of outmost importance in any modern research facility.When working with specimens in a laboratory it is often necessary to process samples at specific temperatures and times. In a busy biomedical lab, managing and handling all of the samples can be an overwhelming and daunting task. Different materials with varying densities can have different heat transfer coefficients as well as specific heats. With each sample put into the fridge at a different time there is almost no way to know when each sample will reach its ideal temperature. Some samples might be required to be chilled to near freezing while some might just need their temperatures reduced by a few degrees. Thus there is a need for the device that could both measure the temperature of the samples, as well as retrieve them from the refrigerator. The goal of our Mechatronics final project is to design and create a device capable of managing a biomedical laboratory’s refrigerated sample inventory. In order to achieve this, the device needed to be able to completely operate on its own without needing the operator’s input or commanding. The device would operate autonomously within an enclosed refrigerator and monitor the samples and vials being studied in the lab. When called upon to, the device would be able to retrieve a required sample based either on the time of day, time the specimen was required to be in the refrigerator or even have it removed at a set temperature point.
