Authors: Nair Arya R , B Nirmala D
Published: March 2024

The best way to keep the required format of the manuscript is to overwrite these instructions with its text. Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts s Landfilling is the most common and cheapest method of waste management practice in India. Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSWL) became a nuisance affecting the health, hygiene, sanitation and aesthetics of the surrounding area. Aggregates occupy almost 70% of concrete, so replacing waste materials with them could be a rewarding choice. In the current work, an experimental investigation is being carried out to test the addition of MSWL as a substitution with fine aggregate for concrete production. Out of the different aged samples available at the dumpsite, the most aged sample is chosen for experimental investigations according to the basic physical properties. Concrete mixes, with 0%, 4%, 5%, 7% and 10% partial replacement of fine aggregate with MSWL are tested for mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and non-destructive test and have proved to be a partial substitute for fine aggregate. Durability studies such as water absorption, acid attack and sulphate attack also gave better experimental proof for the sustainable reuse of this waste material. The research reveals 5% replacement is the optimum considering all the test result values. The paper leads to advanced research for the suitability of the material in the construction industry.
The Effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on Structural Stability and Sustainability of RC Structures
Authors: Krishnan Ragi , Sivakumar Vidhya Lakshmi
Published: March 2024

The issue of SSI involves how the ground or soil reacts to a building built on top of it. Both the character of the structure and the nature of the soil have an impact on the stresses that exist between them, which in turn affects how the structure and soil beneath it move. The issue is crucial, particularly in earthquake regions. The interaction between soil and structure is an extremely intriguing factor in increasing or reducing structural damage or movement. Structures sitting on deformable soil as opposed to strong soil will experience an increase in static settlement and a decrease in seismic harm. The engineer must take into account that the soil liquefaction problem occurs for soft ground in seismic areas. A reinforced concrete wall-frame dual framework's dynamic reaction to SSI has not been sufficiently studied and is infrequently taken into consideration in engineering practice. The structures’ seismic performance when SSI effects are taken into account is still unknown, and there are still some misconceptions about the SSI idea, especially regarding RC wall-frame dual systems. The simulation study of the soil beneath the foundations significantly impacts the framework's frequency response and dynamic properties. Therefore, the overall significance of SSI in the structural aspect and sustainability aspects will be reviewed in this research.

Authors: Chițea Mihai Alexandru , Rusu Marioara , Chițea Lorena Florentina , Brumă Ioan Sebastian
Published: March 2024

The paper follows the increasing debates regarding the future of agriculture, a sector that is under a rising pressure determined by the demographic development, climate and economic changes, by turning to local experts’ opinions regarding the main characteristics of organic and conventional farming in an area facing natural constraints, namely Dornelor basin, Suceava County. The analysis is based on a participatory instrument, Delphi exercise, a structured communication technique, designed for collectively addressing an important theme or specific problem. The data was collected through three rounds of Delphi exercise and processed using both quantitative and qualitative method. The results highlight the fact that an organic farm would be larger in size, compared to a conventional farm, would mostly use local inputs and resources without chemical substances, would require larger labour inputs and would, likely, be part of an agricultural system that integrates livestock, cover and catch crops and direct drill practices.

Authors: Ali Saad Ahmed  , Safwan Abdul-Hammed  , Saif Saad Kamil
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Nano dentistry has paved the way for advanced therapeutic opportunities in various dental disciplines, particularly in the improvement of oral health. One area of focus is the enhancement of mechanical properties of dental materials, such as acrylic resins commonly used in denture base materials. Various strategies, including chemical corrections and the addition of particles, have been explored to augment the mechanical qualities. This study investigates the impact of incorporating Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles into heat-cured acrylic denture materials. Materials and Methods: The denture base was processed using a standardized approach, with the addition of Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles during the monomer phase. A total of 120 specimens were fabricated. 30 specimens for each test using 10 specimens for each nanoparticle concentration (Control 0%, 1%, and 1,5% nanoparticles). The nanoparticles were dispersed using sonication to ensure uniform distribution. The study assessed properties such as glass transition temperature using a differential scanning calorimeter, impact strength and transverse strength utilizing an Instron universal testing machine, and surface roughness via profilometer measurements. Scanning electron microscope also utilized. One way ANOVA was used to determine the mean differences. Results: The study revealed significant improvements in glass transition temperature, impact strength, and transverse strength. The peak values were often seen in the 1.5% wt. group. Surface roughness, however, showed non-significant changes with nanoparticle additions, possibly due to the minimal involvement of nanoparticles on the outer surface. Conclusion: Incorporating Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles into heat-cured acrylic denture base materials demonstrated notable enhancements in key mechanical properties. The findings suggest that nanoparticle additions contribute to increased strength and rigidity, as evidenced by improvements in impact and transverse strength. However, surface roughness remained largely unaffected. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential benefits of nanotechnology in optimizing dental materials for improved clinical performance and patient outcomes.

Published: March 2024

Cancer is a serious disease and it is one of the main causes of death, and it is considered the second cause, after people who suffer from heart failure. Through the statistics, Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, with a rate of 99% in women and 1% in men. It is very complex, and patients with this type of cancer may face numerous challenges during their treatment period. It was determined that the death rate from cancer had decreased by 1.5%, but it is expected to increase in the future due to an increase in cancer cases (breast, prostate). Ehrlich model is a cancer that grows inside a mouse. Its origin is spontaneous mammary carcinoma, and when it spreads within the mouse, it takes two forms, either ascitic or solid. Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma is a spontaneous breast cancer that has a very high importance in scientific research. It is undifferentiated and has a short life. This type of cancer was used for the first time in 1932, when it was used inside the mouse in the abdomen, and a type of fluid was obtained for this called ( Ehrlich's ascites) due to the liquid substance on which cancer cells depend and consider it food and a means for rapid tumor growth, EAC deficiency causes anemia and thus causes a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin, EAC causes an increase in urea and a decrease in creatinine, and EAC causes an increase in liver enzymes and a decrease in total protein.Natural products are the only and most effective products that lead to the development of drugs, especially anti-cancer drugs and anti-inflammatories. Through studies, it has become clear that natural products are a source of drugs.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels caused by diminished tissue sensitivity to insulin, insufficient insulin production, or a combination of both factors. This is a non-communicable disease that is also highly prevalent globally. The aim of the study is to evaluate ferritin level and other biochemical variables in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and study the effect of biochemical variables between male and female (T2DM) . Method involves enrollment of 120 participant divided into two main groups (T2DM and control group) and every group has been subdivided based on gender to (30 male and 30 female) for each group. All the groups studied for determination of anthropometric and biochemical parameters to evaluate the relationship between the studied parameters and T2DM patients. Results: the result showed that (Age, body mass index (BMI), Fasting blood sugar (FBS), triglycerides (TC), Urea, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and Ferritin) were significantly difference in T2DM patients (male and female) as compared with control. While ( TG and Creatinine) were non-significantly differ in T2DM patients as compared with control. Furthermore, there was non-significant difference in the studied parameters between T2DM males and females. Conclusion: from the obtained result it could be concluded that patients with T2DM have a problem associated with ferritin level that effected by T2DM and decreased because of the impaired renal dysfunction and red blood cells decrease and that causes a decrease in the level of ferritin. Age and BMI levels have a direct effect and correlated with elevation of lipid continents and high level of FBS and blood pressure. Renal function is highly elevated because of the T2DM complication, and it is conceder as a risk factor for T2DM.

Authors:   University of Kigali, Rutaganda Bosco , Narayan Singh Satyendra
Published: March 2024

This paper exploring the effect of human resource management practices on employee performance in public institutions in Rwanda, with a specific focus on RDB. The objectives of the study were to determine the influence of career development and compensation on employee performance in public institutions at RDB. The study employed a descriptive research design that utilized both quantitative and qualitative approaches, targeting 139 individuals from RDB and sampling 103 respondents as the sample size. The research adopted a stratified and simple random sampling technique, with data being collected through questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), with the study's findings being presented through descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study indicate a positive and significant relationship between career development and employee performance of RDB (r=.694, p=0.000). Additionally, the results reveal a negative and significant correlation between compensation and employee performance in public institutions (r=-0.513, p=0.000). This suggests that an increase in career development, compensation, performance appraisals, and recruitment leads to a boost in employee performance at RDB since the coefficients are positively related. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended that RDB management provide a cost-of-living increment for their employees, ensuring that employee wages remain reasonable compared to living expenses. As the cost of essential items increases, employees require more money to cover their expenses.

In KKN activities, students are required to have a work program that is tailored to the needs of the community at the KKN location. The implementation of KKN in addition to Indonesia is also carried out in Timor Leste which is carried out by UNS foreign students. After the survey was carried out, KKN students carried out a program intended for persons with disabilities. This program is motivated by the problems faced so that people with disabilities have independence through the program to be implemented. People with disabilities are often underestimated and have stereotypes from society because of their physical limitations. Students carry out handicraft training programs for people with disabilities. This is so that people with disabilities can optimize and improve their abilities. In addition to handicraft training, other supporting programs are also implemented, such as educational activities, entrepreneurship and many more. This is done so that people with disabilities can live independently in the future. This program has quite a good impact for people with disabilities because there is encouragement from KKN students. And have confidence in their work.

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the world has become increasingly widespread. This can be seen from the use of ICT which is not limited to the trade sector, but also in other fields, such as education, defense and state security, social and so on. ICT is used because it has advantages compared to using traditional methods of interaction. The advantages of ICT are speed, convenience, lower costs, data centralization and data access that can be used by all groups. With the advantages as above, it can be said that using ICT can create efficiency in the movement of human life in interacting with each other. Therefore, ICT is widely applied in various fields of human life, and with the advantages offered by this technology, it is starting to be applied in government practice. The development of technology and information sources from all media, it turns out that internet media is currently very popular with the public and business people. The information obtained is fast and accurate and can also be used and obtained anywhere. The use of technology and information is increasingly wider in scope, including in government management. Implementing E-Government is also a necessity in responding to challenges in the current Information Technology Era. One of them is by developing a website that can increase information disclosure. By implementing a website, it can help provide information and as a means to reach the public, which of course can help the performance of the Kendari City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service (DPPPA) to improve services to the community.
Cloning and phylogenetic analysis of N protein gene from Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV)
Authors:   Special Infectious Agents Unit, King Fahd Medical Research Centre, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Hassan Ahmed Mohamed
Published: March 2024

Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral zoonosis caused by RVFV in humans and livestock. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or antiviral therapies available. Additionally, in Saudi Arabia, there is a lack of a routine screening system to monitor RVFV in humans and animals which hinders to design and develop the preventive measures as well as the prediction of future outbreaks and the potential re-emergence of RVFV. Hence, we have performed the cloning, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis, of nucleocapsid (N) protein gene. The sequence analysis showed high similarities with RVFV isolates reported from humans and animals. The highest similarity (99.5%) was observed with an isolate from Saudi Arabia (KU978775-Human) followed by 99.1% with four RVFV isolates (Human and Bovine) from other locations. A total of 51 nucleotides and 31 amino acid variations were observed throughout the N protein gene sequences. The phylogenetic relationship formed closed clusters with other isolates collected from Saudi Arabia. Thus, we report of the cloning, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis of the RVFV-N protein gene from Saudi Arabia.
Amino acid pattern reveals multi-functionality of ORF3 protein from HEV
Authors:   Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Basic Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India, Shafat Zoya
Published: March 2024

The smallest open reading frame (ORF) encoded protein ORF3 of hepatitis E virus (HEV), recently, has been demonstrated to perform multiple functions besides accessory roles. ORF3 could act as a target for vaccine against HEV infections. The IDR (intrinsically disordered region); IDP (ID protein)/IDPR (ID protein region), plays critical role in various regulatory functions of viruses. The dark proteome of HEV-ORF3 protein including its structure and function was systematically examined by computer predictors to explicate its role in viral pathogenesis and drug resistance beyond its functions as accessory viral protein. Amino acid distribution showed ORF3 enrichment with disorder-promoting residues (Ala, Pro, Ser, Gly) while deficiency in order-promoting residues (Asn, Ile, Phe, Tyr and Trp). Initial investigation revealed ORF3 as IDP (entirely disordered protein) or IDPR (proteins consisting of IDRs with structured globular domains). Structural examination revealed preponderance of disordered regions interpreting ORF3 as moderately/highly disordered protein. Further disorder predictors categorized ORF3 as highly disordered protein/IDP. Identified sites and associated-crucial molecular functions revealed ORF3 involvement in diverse biological processes, substantiating them as targets of regulation.

The initial weeks of a newborn's life are marked by rapid physiological and behavioural adjustments as the infant adapts to the external environment. This critical period necessitates attentive care, prompting exploration into traditional practices such as oil massage, which holds cultural significance and is believed to enhance neonatal well-being. Despite its prevalence, empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of oil massage remains limited. This study, conducted in a rural setting, aims to bridge traditional practices with evidence-based care, exploring the impact of oil massage on newborn behavioural responses. A quasi-experimental design involving 60 newborns (30 in each group) assessed behavioural responses through a pre and post-test approach. Results indicate a significant improvement in selected behavioural responses among newborns receiving oil massage, emphasizing its potential integration into routine care. The control group showed a pre-test mean of 14.83 (SD = 2.41) and a post-test mean of 16.23, while the experimental group exhibited a pre-test mean of 15.83 (SD = 1.80) and a post-test mean of 26.07. T-test values of 5.194 for the control group and 26.137 for the experimental group were indicative of statistically significant changes. The study contributes insights into neonatal care practices, urging further exploration of contextual intricacies and demographic influences on newborn behaviour.

Data on the eating behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes of adolescent girls in Visnagar, India, focusing on the prevalence of non-communicable diseases [NCDs] and their association with dietary practices is of interest. Adolescence, a crucial developmental phase, sets the foundation for lifelong health habits, necessitating an understanding of the determinants influencing eating behaviors. The research aims to identify gaps in knowledge, attitudes, and practices [KAP], providing insights for culturally sensitive public health strategies. Through structured questionnaires and Likert scales, data were collected from a purposive sample of adolescent girls [ages 12-18] in a selected school. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were employed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, considering demographic variables. Non-significant associations were found between these variables and demographics. The mean knowledge score was 25.11, reflecting a moderate level, while the mean attitudes score was 99.54, indicating generally positive attitudes. Adolescent girls demonstrated an overall mean behaviour score of 110.93, with a positive correlation [0.72] between knowledge and behaviors and a stronger correlation [0.99] between attitudes and behaviors. Findings highlight the universal importance of knowledge in influencing eating behaviors and emphasize the need for culturally tailored interventions considering regional influences. The study contributes valuable insights into the interplay of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to eating disorders in adolescent girls, serving as a foundation for targeted public health strategies.

Childhood obesity is a global public health concern with significant implications for long-term health. This study addresses the rising rates of obesity among school-age children (10-12 years) and investigates the effectiveness of aerobic exercise interventions in improving anthropometric parameters, specifically focusing on BMI and mid-arm circumference (MAC). The study emphasizes the role of schools in shaping children's behaviors and aims to contribute empirical evidence to inform health promotion strategies for this demographic. The research employs a quasi-experimental design, involving 60 school-age children in Visnagar, Gujarat, India. The 12-week aerobic exercise intervention, conducted three times a week, comprises activities like running, jumping jacks, and dance routines. Data collection includes sociodemographic information, BMI, and MAC measurements. The study design, participant criteria, and intervention details are carefully outlined. Socio-demographic variables such as age and monthly family income significantly influence BMI, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in interventions. Pretest results show 80% of children classified as overweight, reducing to 58.3% post-intervention. The mean BMI significantly decreases from 24.41 to 22.84 (p < 0.05), indicating the positive impact of aerobic exercise. The study also explores the association between BMI, MAC, and socio-demographic variables through chi-square tests. Data shows the prevalence of overweight and obesity among school-age children and demonstrates the effectiveness of a 12-week aerobic exercise program in improving BMI. Findings align with existing literature on the positive impact of physical activity on weight management in children.
