Effects of Purified Jatropha curcas Seed Oil-Based Diet on Growth Performance and Hematological Parameters of Albino Rats
Authors: Maiyaki-Musa A
Published: August 2021

The effect of inclusion of Jatropha curcas seed oil, as a source of oil in the feed of animal, on growth performance, hematological parameters and histology was investigated. Feed intake, average body weight gain and mortality were also monitored. Milled Jatropha curcas seeds were subjected to oil extraction using batch method. Hematological parameters were determined using standard operating procedures. Twenty weanling albino rats with mean weights ranging from 41.57Â± 7.90 g, were divided into two groups. The first group was placed on soybean oil-based (control) diet (4% oil) while the second group was placed on Jatropha curcas seed oil-based diet (4% oil), for four weeks. There was a significant higher difference (P<0.05) in the growth performance of rats fed the control diet when compared with the test group. The animals placed on the control diet showed significantly higher (P<0.05) body weight when compared with the test diet during the last week of experimentation and this might be due to the low digestibility of the Jatropha curcas seed oil-based diet. The result also shows a higher percentage mortality in the group fed the test diet when compared with those fed the control diet. Hematological parameters did not differ significantly (P>0.05) in both the control and test diets respectively but a significantly higher difference in neutrophils of those fed the control diet when compared with those fed test diet. This may signify that continuous ingestion of Jatropha curcas seed oil may reduce the bodyâ€™s immunity against infections. The histological assessment of liver, kidney, heart and small intestine revealed no visible lesion. Overall, the result showed that Jatropha curcas seed oil has the potential of been a source of oil in animal diet if complete detoxification can be achieved.

Published: August 2021

The minerals and nutritional values of leaves, fruits and seeds of many plants have been reportedÂ Â  to vary, depending on factors like generic background, location, environmental and cultivation methods. Thus, phytochemical, proximate and mineral compositions of Gamelina arborea (G. aborea ) fruits from Kaduna state in North central part of Nigeria were assessed using standard analytical procedures.Â Â  Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed that the fruit contained tarnnis, phenols, flavinods, saponins, reducing sugar and anthraquinones. The analysed G. aborea contained 7.30 % w/w ash, 5.00% w/w moisture, 5.31% w/w fat, 4.30% w/w fibre, 2.00% w/w protein and 75.00% w/w carbohydrate while its mineral compositions (mg/100g) were shown to containÂ  Na (21.70Â±1.00); Ca (29.70 Â±2.00), K(14.50Â±1.50), P (10.36Â±0.90), N (0.18Â±0.00),Â  Cu (9.40Â±0.08),Â  andÂ  Mn (21.70Â±1.00).Â  Therefore, this finding accounts for the use of G. arborea as supplement for minerals in animal feeds.

Authors: Abdus-Salam N
Published: August 2021

Potable water is becoming progressively scarce due to anthropogenic pollution and it has necessitated monitoring of water quality of rivers and dams as a subject of ongoing concern and research. This study was conducted to assess the quality of water collected from four different dams (Agba, Igbaja, Oloru and Omu-Aran) in Kwara State, Nigeria using standard procedures. Water and sediment samples were collected from three different spatial locations on the dams. The average values of most physicochemical parameters like pH, temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Alkalinity, some nutrients such as chloride (Cl-), sulphate (SO42-), phosphate (PO43-), nitrate (NO3-) and some heavy metals such as Cu, Zn have values that were within World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for drinking water for each of the dams while Cd and Fe concentrations were observed to be much higher than WHO guidelines for drinking water. This could be as a result of anthropogenic input. The damsâ€™ sediments analyzed for heavy metals showed that Mn, Zn and Cd were high in the dams, which can be easily washed into the water body through leaching, thereby causing detrimental effect to the consumers.

Published: August 2021

At present the use of RGB images is a necessity in various fields. However, its use is constrained by a large file capacity, but it is possible to compress the image that is owned as needed. With the quantization method, the R matrix, the G matrix and the B matrix will be reduced, so that the number of bits used to represent the image will be reduced. Because the number of bits is reduced, the file size becomes smaller. The quantization method is included in the Lossy Compression category, so the compressed image cannot be decompressed again because there is information missing.

Humans interact with fellow humans using communication. Not everything that is communicated contains a message so that it can be known by many people, sometimes the communication is confidential so that only certain people can know it. The occurrence of data tapping submitted is certainly a problem if the data is confidential, therefore a data security system is needed so that the data cannot be stolen or changed by tappers or crackers. One solution to secure data is to use cryptography. Cryptography is the science and art of maintaining message security when messages are sent from one media to another without experiencing interference from third parties. Through cryptographic techniques, data can be changed into passwords that are not understood and return them back to the original, this process is called data encryption and decryption. This data security process uses the Digraph Cipher method. Some facilities in the Digraph Cipher method are the keys used in the encryption and decryption process are the same (symmetrical) and the decryption process is the opposite of the encryption process.

Published: August 2021

The work which affects the education, dignity and health of a child is known as child labor. It exists in agriculture sector of Pakistan mostly in the form of hazardous work. The main objective of the study was to investigate the degree of knowledge of cotton growers on child labor issue with special reference to Decent Work of International Labor Organization (ILO). The study was conducted in Bahawalpur district where Decent Work has been implemented by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)-Pakistan since 2013 as a part of its Sustainable Agriculture Program. Three categories of farmers were identified among a total of 388 selected cotton growers i.e. Farmers having high level of awareness, farmers having basic level of awareness and farmers having no awareness of child labor. Farmers were also categorized into three groups on the basis of their land holding i.e. (Category ‘a’) 1-7 acres, (b) >7-20 acres and (c) >20-50 acres. The data was analyzed through descriptive statistical method. Among category ‘a’ 7.5%, 88.7% and 3.7% of the farmers had advance, basic and no awareness, respectively. Among category ‘b’ 7.2%, 88.5% and4.2% farmers had advance, basic and no awareness, respectively. Among category ‘c’ 5.8%, 90.2% and 3.9% farmers had advance, basic and no awareness, respectively. Since there was a large proportion of those farmers who have only basic level of awareness on child labor among all the three land holding categories, therefore, there is a need to educate farmers on preventing child labor at their farms to promote sustainable cotton.

Revisão sistemática de estudos e aplicações de modelos pedagógicos diversificados
Authors: Brochado Rafael de Almeida , Carvalho Marco Antônio Garcia de
Published: August 2021

Modelos pedagógicos são sistemas para organizar práticas de ensino e aprendizagem. Os modelos pedagógicos são baseados em teorias de aprendizagem, em leis e diretrizes educacionais e outros documentos balizadores. No entanto, nos dias atuais, elementos encontrados nos modelos pedagógicos tradicionais parecem não mais atender a sua finalidade, em virtude de um público cada vez mais conectado à Internet, familiarizado com tecnologias digitais e, portanto, com pouco engajamento e interesse nas atividades educativas tradicionais, mais centradas no professor e na transmissão e assimilação de conteúdos. O propósito deste trabalho é discutir e analisar diferentes tipos de modelos pedagógicos, denominados de modelos pedagógicos diversificados, identificando características importantes para a definição de um modelo pedagógico híbrido que seja voltado a orientar o docente no uso das tecnologias da informação e comunicação, das metodologias ativas e dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem nos currículos que desenvolvem o ensino híbrido. Para esse fim, optou-se por realizar uma revisão sistemática, onde foram selecionados e analisados 14 artigos escritos na língua inglesa e portuguesa. Por fim, verificou-se na literatura a presença de estudos sobre modelos pedagógicos diversificados, sendo possível identificar as características consideradas essenciais para a construção de modelos pedagógicos híbridos.

Muitos têm sido os esforços feitos em todo o mundo no empoderamento tecnológico de professores em todos os níveis. No entanto, em nosso contexto esses esforços não deram frutos e não podemos observar um uso, muito menos um uso adequado, da mediação tecnológica na educação. Este artigo apresenta uma análise qualitativa do fenômeno da adoção efetiva pelo professor de mediação tecnológica educacional. Isso se baseia na cultura Maker, amplamente difundida e adotada em diversos países. O desenho metodológico foi a pesquisa-ação com professores de ciências naturais e tecnologia do ensino médio, desenvolvida por meio da formação de professores e da ação do professor em sala de aula. Destacam-se achados, como a apropriação da cultura Maker pelos professores, expectativa elevada sobre sua atuação em sala de aula, tutoria entre pares, atitude colaborativa, aprendizado de coisas novas, entre outros.

La lectura es una actividad importante tanto en la vida diaria como en la académica. A pesar de que los planes curriculares marcan objetivos bien definidos para cada grado de estudios, la lectura no se aplica extensivamente en el aula por ser altamente demandante en carga cognitiva y tiempo. Fuera del aula, los estudiantes carecen de la guía del docente, si bien pueden hacer uso de otros recursos y estrategias como hacer anotaciones, elaborar diagramas, redactar resúmenes, entre otras, para comprender los textos. El apoyo a la comprensión lectora es un desafío en el ámbito tecnológico, la tarea se encuentra dentro de los dominios llamados mal definidos, donde no existe una única respuesta correcta. En este trabajo se presenta una revisión parcial con el objetivo de identificar tecnología educativa propuesta en los últimos años que contribuye directa o indirectamente a la comprensión lectora autónoma. Se hace una breve comparación indicando objetivos y características. Finalmente, se señalan los retos futuros.

Results: Most of the IEs were evaluated within six months. In 100% of the cases, the educational goals of a specific department, cases of the evaluation areas, and assessment criteria were determined and scored, and the lesson plans for the existing theory units were delivered to the students. In addition, documents of faculty members’ research activities, along with specific and codified programs for conferences, were reported. However, only 27.3% of the educational experts and 54.5% of the student representatives were involved in the group evaluation committee, and in 68.2% of the cases, there were lesson plans for skill units and clinical wards. On the other hand, 40% of the cases had a specific documentary program to assess the students’ academic decline/achievement in the groups. Conclusions: Formally, the IEs were performed correctly, and the obtained results briefly showed that they could achieve multiple academic goals. Due to the differences between the results and the observed state of the university, external evaluations are recommended as well.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen, acquiring resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. The MexAB-OprM pump can lead to resistance in this organism. Thus, the study was conducted to determine the effect of chitosan and phenylalanine arginyl ß-naphthylamide (PaβN) on the expression of MexAB in isolated ciprofloxacin resistant P. aeruginosa. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of an antibiotic combination on the MexABP. aeruginosa expression. Methods: A total of 30 ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected in this project. Then, chitosan nanoparticles were prepared using the ionic gelation method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined for ciprofloxacin, ciprofloxacin + PAßN, chitosan + ciprofloxacin, and chitosan + ciprofloxacin + PAßN using the micro-dilution method. Moreover, the expression level of MexAB genes was measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: In total, 76.7% of the isolates were identified as multidrug resistant. A significant decrease in the MIC value was observed in groups treated with PAβN compared to those without PAβN. Moreover, the MIC value was significantly lower in the ciprofloxacin chitosan group than in groups without ciprofloxacin. Decreased MexA and MexB mRNA levels were observed in all antibiotic-treated strains compared to the ciprofloxacin-treated group. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between the increased MexAB expression and resistance to ciprofloxacin (P-value < 0.05). One of the therapeutic concerns is multidrug resistant bacteria, which needs to be addressed by finding new and more effective antibiotics.

: Cancer radiotherapy and phototherapy have been known as alternative approaches for the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant malignancies. Additionally, cancer immunotherapy has recently demonstrated to be a potential cancer treatment modality that has had its ups and downs despite the heart-warming outcomes it has achieved. However, researchers have proved that nanotechnology-facilitated approaches might bring the success of these modalities to an upper class. The nucleolin-targeting aptamer, AS1411, is among various aptamers utilized for the redirection of nanocarriers carrying radiosensitizers and photosensitizers. Recently, the potential applicability of this aptamer has been investigated in cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss how aptamer-mediated nucleolin targeting nanoplatforms might ameliorate the side effects of cancer radiotherapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy and improve the outcomes of these treatment approaches.
Integrative description of new giant pill-millipedes from southern Thailand (Diplopoda, Sphaerotheriida, Zephroniidae)

Published: August 2021

Two new species of giant pill-millipedes, Zephronia viridisoma Rosenmejer & Wesener sp. nov. and Sphaerobelum aesculus Rosenmejer & Wesener sp. nov., are described based on museum samples from southern Thailand. Zephronia viridisoma sp. nov. comes from Khao Lak, while the type locality of S. aesculus sp. nov. is on Phuket Island. Both species are described integratively, combining light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, multi-layer photography, micro-CT scans and genetic barcoding. Genetic barcoding was successfully conducted for holotypes of both new species, which could be added to a dataset of all published sequences of the family Zephroniidae, including all described species from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia up to 2020. Genetic barcoding of the COI gene revealed another female of S. aesculus sp. nov., 160 km east of the type locality. Both new species are genetically distant from all other Zephroniidae from Thailand and surrounding countries, showing uncorrected p-distances of 16.8–23.1%. A virtual cybertype of a paratype of Z. viridisoma sp. nov. was created and made publically accessible.
Update on immunotherapy for renal cancer
Authors: Canales Rojas Rodrigo
Published: August 2021

In the last decade, the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, with the potential for dramatic changes in the therapeutic landscape. Nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of transmem-brane programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), was approved as monotherapy in 2015 for advanced renal cell carcinoma in patients previously treated with an agent targeting vascular endothelial growth factor. In April 2018, the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab, a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 inhibitor, was approved for patients with previously untreated intermediate- and poor-risk advanced renal cell carcinoma. Then, in 2019, combination therapies consisting of pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) or avelumab (anti-PD-1 ligand, PD-L1) with axitinib (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) were also approved for use in all risk groups. This review pre-sents a brief historical review of the association between immunology and oncology; describes essential aspects of the mechanism of action of immune checkpoint inhibitors; discusses the current evidence regarding the clinical use of different immunotherapy regimens for the treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma, both clear cell and other histological types; and provides general information on their adverse effects. The role of appropriate patient selection is analyzed to allow individualization of therapy and improve the already promising results. Finally, per-spectives on the future use of immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat renal cancer are discussed.
Creating Guidance for Canadian Dataverse Curators: Portage Network’s Dataverse Curation Guide

Purpose: This paper introduces the Portage Network’s Dataverse Curation Guide and the new bilingual curation framework developed to support it.

Brief Description: Canadian academic institutions and national organizations have been building infrastructure, staffing, and programming to support research data management. Amidst this work, a notable gap emerged between requirements for data curation in general repositories like Dataverse and the requisite workflows and guidance materials needed by curators to meet them. In response, Portage, a national network of data experts, organized a working group to develop a Dataverse curation guide built upon the Data Curation Network’s CURATED workflow. To create a bilingual resource, the original CURATE(D) acronym was modified to CURATION—which has the same meaning in both French and English—and steps were augmented with Dataverse-specific guidance and mapped to three conceptualized levels of curation to assist curators in prioritizing curation actions.

Methods: An environmental scan of relevant deposit and curation guidance materials from Canadian and international institutions identified the need for a comprehensive Dataverse Curation Guide, as most existing resources were either depositor-focused or contained only partial workflows. The resulting Guide synthesized these guidance materials into the CURATION steps and mapped actions to various theoretical levels of data repository services and levels of curation.

Resources: The following documents are supplemental to the Dataverse Curation Guide: the Portage Dataverse North Metadata Best Practices Guide, the Scholars Portal Dataverse Guide, and the Data Curation Network CURATED Workflow and Data Curation Primers.
