Background: Childhood infections are a significant cause of under-five morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. These infections are curable if the care-givers seek appropriate treatment early. The aim of this study was to assess the common symptoms of children 0-59 months (under-fives) presenting at PHC facilities and the health seeking process of their caregivers in Uyo, Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional study of under-fives attending selected health facilities in Uyo. One health facility was selected using simple random techniques from each of the five clans that constitute Uyo. The children were recruited consecutively across the selected health facilities. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was administered to the care-givers and weighing scale used to determine the weight of the children. Data were analysed using STATA version 12.Results: A total of 178 children were recruited for the study. Fifty-three percent of the children were male with median age of 13 months. The main symptoms at presentations were fever (69.7%), cough (29.8) diarrhoea (23%) and skin rash (23%) and 25.3% of them were under-nourished. About 63% of the children presented to the health facility after 2 days of onset of symptoms, 58% of them have already taken medications like antipyretics, antimalarial or antibiotics before presentation. Care-givers who were above 30 years and have more than secondary level of education were more likely to present within 2 days of onset of symptoms.Conclusion: Intensive community sensitization of care-givers on the need to seek appropriate treatment at the health facility is required, while ensuring resources are made available for prompt management of these symptoms at the PHCs.

Religious Communication and IWE: A Serial Mediation of Self-reflection (Muhasbah) and Self-reform (Tazkiya-e-nafs)
Authors: Liaqat Hajira , Yousaf Sheikh Usman , Ahmad Ishfaq
Published: October 2023

Despite growing research in Islamic work ethics, there is a dearth of literature on underlying mechanism of how it can be enhanced. Drawing upon the social cognitive theory, this study aims to develop and test the serially mediated model that examines the effect of religious communication on Islamic work ethics through self-reflection and self-reform. Using a multistage sampling technique, data is collected from 174 Muslim employees of the Islamic banking industry in Pakistan in one point in time. Results indicate that the indirect effect of serial mediation of religious communication and IWE through self-reflection and self-reform is significant. This research is among the pioneer efforts to investigate the impact of religious communication on Islamic work ethic through serial mediation. Furthermore, the novelty of this study lies in its exploration of the underlying mechanisms for enhancing Islamic work ethics (IWE), a topic that has been relatively under-researched in the context of Islamic work ethics. The practical significance of this research is evident in its potential to guide organizations in designing and implementing religious communication-based strategies aimed at fostering IWE among their employees, thus contributing to the ethical and productive growth of the Islamic work environment.

Authors: Litasari Maulida , Juliningrum Peni Perdani , Septiyono Eka Afdi
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Verbal abuse was a form of abuse by saying words or sentences that are negative such as insult, humiliate, refuse, yell, or berate has an impact on the development of adolescent self-esteem. Self-esteem was a self-assessment that is influenced by attitude, interaction, award, and form of acceptance of others towards an individual. This study aim was to determine the relationship between parental verbal abuse and self-esteem in adolescents.
Method: The research design used quantitative methods with a correlation design and a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used simple random sampling to obtain a sample of 152 students from the calculation of the Slovin formula.Data collection used a questionnaire and the statistical test used Chi-square.
Result: The result showed that verbal abuse committed by parents was 93%, self-esteem in adolescents obtained high self-esteem results of as much as 89%, and there was no relationship between the variables of parental verbal abuse and self-esteem in adolescents with a p-value of 0,0246.
Conclusion: The absence of a relationship between the variable verbal abuse and the variable self-esteem occurs because adolescents in developmental tasks seek identity and improve self-integrity. So that adolescents will spend more time with friends and their relationship with their parents will be stretched.
Preparation of nanodiamonds based on phase transformation of vertical sheet under atmospheric pressure

A basic and important way to prepare diamond is to make graphite experience the phase transformation under the high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) condition. However, this method needs stringent equipment and high investment cost. Recently, we proposed a method to prepare the diamond by phase transformation of graphite at atmospheric pressure with monodispersed Ta atoms. It is found that a phase transformation happens to H atoms under atmospheric pressure, but the role of O atoms has not been investigated. Here, we use tantalum wires as Ta source and heat the filaments to prepare vertical graphene containing Ta atoms in hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) system. And then the vertical graphene layers are annealed in oxygen-containing environment, and nanodiamonds are obtained by phase transformation from the vertical graphene under atmospheric pressure. The results show that the sample morphologies are the same as the untreated vertical graphene’s, when the annealed ambient air pressure is at 10 Pa and 50 Pa with oxygen atom content of 1.96% and 2.04%, respectively; TEM tests reveal TaC and graphite but no diamond in these samples . Nanodiamond grains with the size range of 2–4 nm are observed in the amorphous carbon region of samples annealed at 100 Pa and 500 Pa air pressure with oxygen atom content increasing to 2.77% and 3.11%, respectively, indicating that oxidation facilitates the phase change from Ta-containing vertical graphene to diamond at atmospheric pressure. When the air pressure of the annealing environment rises to 1000 Pa with the oxygen atom content of 3.54%, the sample is extensively oxidized and the graphite structure is severely damaged,which means that a large number of oxygen atoms tend to disrupt the graphite structure rather than promote the phase change into diamond. These results supply a way to prepare nanodiamond and show the effect of O atoms in the graphite phase transition at atmospheric pressure.

Aim: This research aims to assess the perceptions of women farmers regarding Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), with a specific focus on women-based FPOs in Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu. The primary objective is to contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable FPO models, which can support smallholder farmers in improving their livelihoods and achieving food security.

Research Gap: The research aims to fill a critical gap in existing literature by focusing exclusively on women farmers' perspectives on FPOs, thereby providing insights into the effectiveness of FPOs in empowering women in agriculture.

Study Location: Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu, was chosen due to its high concentration of FPOs under the Central Sector Plan for 10,000 new FPOs.

FPO Selection: Four women-based FPOs were purposively selected from 17 in the region, focusing on FPOs with exclusively female members to explore women farmers' experiences.

Sample Size and Data Collection: Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 30 members in each of the four selected women-based FPOs, totaling 120 participants.

Data Analysis: Factor analysis was applied to the dataset comprising 22 variables related to women farmers' views of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).

Results: Study identified eight critical factors that significantly shape women farmers' perceptions of FPOs. These factors include the business ecosystem, value addition services, marketing services, production services, bargaining power, social capital, advisory services, and prosperity benefits. Together, these factors explain 68.356% of the variance in the data, offering valuable insights into what influences women farmers' views on FPOs.

Conclusion: Joining an FPO offers equal opportunities, collective procurement, and knowledge exchange for all farmers, empowering women with training and resources for active participation in agriculture. FPOs boost prosperity, elevate societal status, and provide valuable support to women farmers, enhancing their livelihoods.

Urban trees provide a wide range of environmental, economic and social benefits to those that live and work within and outside the community. Urban forest assessments are essential in supporting urban forest management and planning to improve environmental quality and human health in cities. The study investigated woody trees distributions in Eleme Local Government Area (Apkajo) Port Harcourt Nigeria, The study area was divided into 3 categories (Academic, Residential and Religious). Total woody tree species enumerations were carried out using tree identification and measurement while remote sensing technique was used to determine spatial distribution of trees and their land surface temperature. Morphological parameters assessed included total height (THT), crown diameter (CD), crown projection area (CPA), slenderness coefficient (SC) Merchantable area (MCH). Findings indicated total number of twenty seven (27) different woody tree species was identified from a sample population of one hundred and eighty five (185) trees. Species identified includes Mangifera indica, Dacryodes edulis,Terminalia mantaly, Azadirchta indica, Newbouldia laevis, Persea americana, Polyalthia longifolia, Terminalia catappa..Beneficial roles included medicinal, food security, income generation, beautification and micro-climate purposes. Among the species, Mangifera indica was the most abundant with a frequency of occurrence of 47. The result revealed that trees found in academic areas consistently gave higher mean tree growth variable values. Biodiversity was highest in residential areas with a Shannon index of 2.54 and Simpsons index of 0.88. Spatial distribution pattern showed that most tree species are clustered around the residential areas than the religious and academic areas. It was also observed that the trees are active in moderation of the land surface temperature by creating a micro-climate beneath it. The high species richness and diversity within the residential areas, despite its high infrastructural development, showed the importance people placed on urban greening and climate change.

Aims: The present study aimed to purify a new lipase from the endophytic fungus Preussia africana (P. africana).

Study Design: Lipases were produced through fermentation and precipitation using different organic solvents and characterized at optimal temperature and pH conditions.

Place and Duration of Study: Assays were carried out at the Laboratory of Bioprocess at the Federal University of Alfenas between January and August, 2023.

Methodology: Enzymes were produced via submerged fermentation. After fermentation, the broth was filtered and lyophilized so that enzymes were concentrated. Organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and acetone) were used at 10 and 25°C for lipase precipitation. A second precipitation step was investigated in a supernatant: solvent ration ranging from 1:3 to 1:2 (v/v) and temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Optimal temperature and pH conditions for the hydrolytic activity of precipitated lipase were also found.

Results: Acetone and isopropanol were more efficient in precipitating lipase while maintaining its catalytic activity, as specific activities of 211.34 ± 0.05 and 179.50 ± 0.08 U/mg were achieved, respectively. For the second precipitation step, acetone in a supernatant: solvent ratio of 1:2 (v/v) at 10°C achieved optimal performance, as purification factor of 1.89 ± 0.01 and recovered activity of 93.45% were found. Maximum hydrolytic activity of 72.80 ± 1.29 U/mL was observed using olive oil as substrate at pH between 7 and 8 and 37°C.

Conclusion: The use of acetone at 10°C in two precipitation steps proved to be a more robust strategy for P. africana lipase precipitation in the purification process.

Vegetables are one of the main elements in terms of ensuring a person's food security and nutritional well-being. Integrated application of macronutrients coupled with adequate incorporation of micronutrients is one of the key factors for quality vegetable production. For ensuring maximum vegetable production with superior quality foliar nutrition is the better alternative in the era of climate change.  Foliar application is the easiest and most effective way to administer micronutrients as compared to other methods. Trace elements such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) are essential for vegetable crops. The primary goal of this review article is to investigate the merits of micronutrients and the production potential of various vegetable crops through foliar nutrition. Additionally, this study aims to clarify the role of micronutrients in quality vegetable production. Several studies suggested that the exogenous application of micronutrients has a tremendous effect on overall growth and quality in a variety of crops. Many researchers have demonstrated that applications of Boron @250ppm significantly influenced the fresh weight of fruit, number of fruits per plant, number of seeds per plant, germination%, vigour index and root and shoot lengths of seedlings in sweet pepper. Various researchers also concluded that the application of Zn @1000 ppm + B @200 ppm + Mo @50 ppm provides a significant impact on head diameter, volume of head, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll total in cabbage.
