Published: August 2020

Jackfruit is an important tropical fruit grown extensively in homesteads of Kerala. Even though jackfruit is a pack house of nutritional components, it remains underexploited and facing huge postharvest loss. Jackfruit bulb and seed are rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fibre and other bioactive compounds and can be utilised for the development of value added products with health benefits and jackfruit pasta is promising as demand for nutritious pasta is increasing domestically as well as internationally. The present study aimed to develop red amaranthus enriched functional jackfruit pasta with natural red colour, nutritional qualities and consumer acceptability. The red amaranthus paste was added in two different proportions (5% and 10%) to different formulations of jackfruit pasta  comprising of jackfruit bulb flour, seed flour and cassava flour replacing a portion of refined flour. The enrichment with 10% of red amaranthus as paste to jackfruit pasta formulations reduced cooking loss, improved the cooking quality characters, nutritional quality, and sensory attributes and produced naturally coloured pasta with higher consumer acceptability.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hepatitis B is a risk factor for Health Care Workers (HCW) and medical students attending wards at hospital. Hepatitis B vaccine has been recommended since 1982 for use by HCWs to prevent HBV infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vaccination coverage among HCWs and medical students, their level of knowledge regarding vaccination as well as and their beliefs regarding Hepatitis B vaccine at a Teaching District Headquarter (DHQ) Hospital of Punjab, Pakistan.

Subjects and Methods:  This cross sectional descriptive study based on a questionnaire-based survey was carried out at DHQ Teaching Hospital, Sahiwal, Pakistan from 01-04-2019 to 31-07-2019. Doctors, medical students and paramedical staff involved in active physical care of the patients were included in the study.

Results: A total of 300 participants were provided questionnaire including consent, out of which 285 participants responded. There were 127 doctors (44.56%), 86 medical students (30.18%) and 72 paramedics (25.26%). 132 (46.31%) participants were fully vaccinated, 9.12% had received 2 doses of vaccine, 8.77% received only one dose whereas 35.43% were unvaccinated. Out of unvaccinated individuals, 32.35% reasoned lack of time being the main cause followed by other reasons including lack of need, lack of awareness and accessibility.

Conclusion: This study showed that vaccination coverage among HCWs was alarmingly low along with lesser knowledge of vaccination and infection. Therefore, HCWs and medical students are at an increased risk of acquiring Hepatitis B infection.

Authors: Jameel Farukh , Ihsan Khawaja Mohsin , Siddiq Saqib , Waheed Khalid , Butt Intzar Hussain , Iqbal Rana Naveed
Published: August 2020

Background: Epiretinal membranes are avascular, fibrocellular membranes which develop on the inner most layer of the retina. These membranes can be idiopathic or secondary to the silicone oil injection after pars plana vitrectomy in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. When symptomatic, such membranes can cause decreased vision, visual distortion and sometimes diplopia. The purpose of this study was to compare the idiopathic epiretinal membranes versus silicone oil filled eyes epiretinal membranes in terms of their diagnostic and surgical features.

Material and methods: The study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Services Hospital Lahore where 13 eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs) and 13 eyes with silicone oil filled eyes epiretinal membranes (SOERMs) were evaluated from August 2017 to April 2019. The main diagnostic outcome was the preoperative Optical Coherence Tomographic (OCT) findings and main surgical outcome was peroperative time required for removal of epiretinal membranes.

Results: Mean central retinal thickness of patients with SOERMs on OCT was 530.30µm, which was recorded one day before surgery. It was greater as compared to the central retinal thickness in patients with idiopathic ERMs which was 391.92 µm. The mean time required for the removal of SOERMs was 466.38 seconds. It was longer as compared to the time required to remove idiopathic ERMs which was 385.69 seconds.

Conclusion: The SOERMs are relatively difficult to remove due to increased thickness and more adherent nature as compared to idiopathic ERMs which were single layer and relatively easy to remove.

ABSTRACT

Background: Non-mydriatic fundus photography has been shown to be a potential alternative to direct ophthalmoscopy in the emergency department. Panoptic ophthalmoscope is a newer handheld alternative to non-mydriatic fundus camera. Its advantages include greater portability and lower price. Panoptic Ophthalmoscope compatibly utilizes mobile phone’s camera to capture high definition fundus photographs, however lower in quality in comparison with a fundus camera. This study compares the picture quality between panoptic ophthalmoscope (POO) and non-mydriatic fundus camera (NMFC).

Patients and Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. Three twenty three (323) fundus pictures were taken from two different cameras. One hundred sixty pictures (160) were taken with NMFC and one hundred sixty three (163) with POO. Quality of each picture was assessed by two consultant ophthalmologists independently. The data was computed and analyzed by SPSS version 21. Chi square test was applied to the data. Confidence interval of 0.95 with α of 0.05 was taken.

Results: There was statistically significant difference in picture quality of disc, macula, superior and inferior vascular arcades (p<0.001).  Total 122 out of 160 pictures taken by NMFC and 48 out of 163 pictures taken by POO were considered ideal by first ophthalmologist whereas 96 of 160 pictures taken by NMFC and none taken by POO were considered ideal by second ophthalmologist.

Conclusion: Quality of images taken with NMFC is significantly better as compared to POO.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the frequent congenital health issues in neonates. Early diagnosis is a key factor to combat this problem. This study aims to assess the frequency and common types of CHD among neonates presenting to a tertiary care hospital, Karachi.

Patients and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of National Institute of Child Health (NICH), Karachi from March to September 2017. All neonates of gestational age ≥37 weeks with suspected CHD (presence of blue-tinged skin, i.e. cyanosis on routine clinical examination) were included. Information regarding presence of CHD and its types were collected along with the demographic characteristics and history of the patients.

Results: Of 134, frequency of CHD was observed in 126 (94%) patients. Out of these 126 CHD patients, Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was observed in 49 (38.9%), patent ductal arteriosus (PDA) in 29 (23%), atrial septal defect (ASD) was observed in 19 (15.1%), Transposition of great arteries (TGA) in 18 (14.3%), and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) in 14 (11.1%) patients. A significant association of VSD was observed with neonatal age (p = <0.001), ASD with neonatal age (p = 0.037) and maternal age (p = 0.025), while TGA was found significantly associated with neonatal age (p<0.001).

Conclusion: CHD was observed in majority of the suspected patients with VSD as commonest type of congenital heart diseases among neonates.

Published: August 2020

Background: Mitotic figure counting is simplest and oldest method for determining proliferative activity of cell. It is considered as one of the important diagnostic aid in cancer pathology. Though advanced methods to evaluate dysplastic features are more precise and definite but expense and time makes them less practicable for routine use. Therefore an effort was made to use economical as well as simple approach involving crystal violet stain (1%) to study the mitotic figures in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive research included samples, consisting of thirty three cases of the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Representative sections were stained with H&E stain and 1% crystal violet stain respectively. The stained sections were viewed under optical microscope to count mitotic figures for evaluating the effectiveness of 1% crystal violet stain. Data obtained was statistically analyzed by using sample t-test.

Results: There was noteworthy increase in the mean mitotic count among the crystal violet stained sections of OSCC in contrast to the OSCC sections stained with H&E (P = 0.00).

Conclusion:1% Crystal violet stain can be considered as one of the optimum stains to observe the mitotic figure. Practice of staining with 1% crystal violet during routine histopathological procedures will be cost effective and may be used as a selective stain.

Analysis of radio frequency spectrum usage using cognitive radio
Authors: Shuaibu-Sadiq Munirah , Anyasi F. I.
Published: August 2020

This paper presents the analysis of radio frequency (RF) spectrum usage using cognitive radio. The aim was to determine the unused spectrum frequency bands for efficiently utilization. A program was written to reuse a range of vacant frequency with different model element working together to produce a spectrum sensing in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The developed Simulink model was interfaced with a register transfer level - software defined radio, which measures the estimated noise power of the received signal over a given time and bandwidth. The threshold estimation performed generates a 1\0 output for decision and prediction. It was observed that some spectrum, identified as vacant frequency, were underutilized in FM station in Benin City. The result showed that when cognitive radio displays “1” output, which is decision H1, the channel is occupied and cannot be used by the cognitive radio for communication. Conversely, when “0” output (decision H0) is displayed, the channel is unoccupied. There is a gradual decrease in the probability of detection (Pd), when the probability of false alarm (Pfa) is increased from 1% to 5%. In the presence of higher Pfa, the Pd of the receiver maintains a high stability. Hence, the analysis finds the spectrum hole and identifies how it can be reused

Response characteristics of a negative temperature coefficient thermistor
Authors: Iyere Sunday F. , Ozigi Bernard O. A. , Yeboah Joseph K.
Published: August 2020

This article focuses on the thermistor as a device that is widely used for temperature measurement and control in most electrical and electronic devices and appliances. The research is based on the type of thermistor used in photocopiers with particular reference to Minolta Bizhub (model-210) photocopier. The resistance and temperature were recorded by the application of conventional heat to deduce the response curves of resistance versus temperature and resistance/time. Results obtained from the characteristics show that the thermistor employed in the photocopier is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) device. Also, there was a time variation in the response of the thermistor resistance to temperature changes, which indicates that the thermistor under test functions as a temperature control device. The shape of resistance versus temperature curve appeared to be similar to that of a typical NTC thermistor characteristics.

The solution of a single-storey industrial building, of working with significant horizontal seismic vibrations. Earthquake building carried out by separating the sole-plate foundation resting on the ground, from the rest of the multi-stage foundation for the frame column. The gap formed by constructive in the individual cells are arranged point-balls bearings, have freedom of movement in the horizontal plane. Under horizontal vibrations of the earth and the sole-plate the rest of the basement and the building itself remain at rest. It noted an interesting fact: the performance and reliability of the proposed solutions of seismic stability of buildings received unexpected confirmation, that one of the buildings in the Chilean capital of Santiago, built in the sixteenth century, survived dozens of earthquakes, is the oldest building and it became clear that its ancient walls are mounted on ball-shaped stones.
Planar Vibrations of Rigid Structure Resting on Kinematical Supports of Yu. D. Cherepinsky
Authors: Tyapin Alexander
Published: August 2020

The author derives the equation of motion for a structure resting on

kinematical pendulum supports of Yu.D.Cherepinsky. Both structure and supports are

assumed to be rigid; no sliding is assumed during rolling. Two components of seismic

excitation are considered (horizontal one and vertical one). Equation of motion for free

vibrations looks like that of the free vibrations for massive pendulum support standing

alone (it was studied earlier). It is fact the equation of motion for pendulum, but center

of rotation, inertia moment and stiffness are varying with time. This equation may be

simplified to the linear one by skipping the second order terms. The equation of

motion for seismic response after linearization is the extension of the Mathieu-Hill’s

equation, where horizontal component is responsible for the right-hand part (in the

conventional Mathieu-Hill’s equation it is zero), and vertical component creates

parametric excitation in the left-hand part. In fact, vertical seismic acceleration

modifies gravity acceleration g, which controls the effective natural frequency for

pendulum. Thus, there might appear dynamic instability (though without infinite

response due to the finite duration of excitation). The author presents numerical

example.

It argues that the definition of Quality education is still ambiguous in among the systems. However, this article categories the aspects of quality education from existing literature and examines the quality assurance systems in the mentioned three countries. Having done so, it shows that the quality assurance systems in all three countries focus differently in various aspects of quality education among which the physical aspects are predominant.
Du talent Management au renforcement des capacités
Authors: MAKKAOUI MOHAMED
Published: August 2020

Les pays émergents ne sont plus ignorés quant à leur impact sur l’économie mondiale comme sur la croissance et les emplois sur tout le globe. Leur géographie se diversifie et même s’universalise (Chancel et Degans ; 2013). Du niveau global au niveau local, plusieurs intervenants institutionnels s’ingèrent implicitement, dans le pouvoir et la gouvernance économique, des pays et des régions, par la dissémination des pratiques managériales concernant la gestion des cadres à haut potentiel. Dans le contexte des pays « en voie d’émergence », la gestion des talents devienne un attrait majeur, non seulement pour les investisseurs mais également pour les décideurs politiques locaux. Le savoir social recherché par les expatriés est au contraire l’un des acquis des impatriés.
En Afrique subsaharienne l’émergence a d’autres couleurs. L’équation s’inverse en mobilisant les talents à contribuer dans l’aventure de renforcement des capacités. Telle est la question qui sera posée dans cette étude, en passant du niveau global jusqu’au niveau local, en vue de tenter d’examiner les pressions et les contraintes de la globalisation sur les marchés émergents. Nous examinerons dans un premier temps l’importance de la gestion des talents dans les économies émergentes avant se focaliser, par la suite, sur le concept de capacité à renforce aussi bien au niveau étatique, qu’organisationnel et/ou individuel. Des résultats empiriques, émanant du cas de la côte d’Ivoire, seront synthétisés et discutés comme exemple de traduction « contextuelle » du management des talents à l’africaine.

Cette étude traite l’analyse des conceptions des enseignants de mathématiques au secondaire collégial recrutés sous contrat (RSC). Après deux années de pratiques effectives, de pleine responsabilité de la classe, nous avons tenté d’élucider comment, ces enseignants conçoivent et mettent en oeuvre l’évaluation d’une compétence disciplinaire de leurs élèves. L’expérience s’est déroulée autour d’une formation en présentielle, à travers laquelle, nous avons interrogé 64 enseignants (RSC) à la question de l’identification des démarches considérée pour évaluer la compétence des élèves, relative à la géométrie. Nous avons opté par trois modes de recueil de données; répondre à une question ouverte sur les procédés d’évaluer la compétence des élèves et traiter un seul sujet au choix parmi deux sujets d’évaluation, donnés dans le cadre de l’évaluation du module de formation. Les analyses combinées, laissent à paraître des pratiques ignorées dans le processus d’évaluation des compétences des élèves. En effet, on distingue une nette tendance dans les pratiques de ses enseignants vers une évaluation des savoirs et des savoirs faire, à travers la restitution et l’application des savoirs, loin d’être d’une réelle prémisse d’évaluer la compétence.

Devant le défi d’une société de la connaissance, les États doivent instituer des organes de contrôle de la qualité des savoirs et de leur transmission. En France, les corps d’inspection créés au début du 19ème siècle n’ont eu de cesse d’évaluer les professeurs, les établissements, les politiques et les dispositifs. Actuellement, l’analyse des activités des inspecteurs montre un grand éclatement de leur fonction qui ne facilite pas leur mission essentielle d’évaluation et d’amélioration scientifique, didactique et pédagogique des disciplines enseignées. Quatre pistes sont proposées pour consolider le travail d’évaluation et répondre aux défis économiques, culturels et scolaires, de la mondialisation.

Published: August 2020

The growing development nowadays on Mozambique is directly associated to the crescent industrialization and the increasing number of the population on enormous cities of the Nation, what needs more electrical energy and produce more garbage; uncontrolled and putting it in a challenge to face this scenario. Maputo City is facing huge problem with the Town Massive Garbage (TMG), without the structure to treat it, which deposited in the open dumpsite out of normal conditions, contributing for many diseases and environment impact, when it is burnt or it burns spontaneously, the subterranean water body is contaminated with leachate (methane); and proximately 72% of population or citizens have not electrical energy. The intention of this task is principally to turn the Town Massive Garbage into electrical energy in Maputo City the capital of the country, taking on the different technologies according to the garbage’s conditions and increase the capacity of energy which is approximately to 20% on the Country and to reduce the impact of environment from the landfill and, the number of landfill and dumpsites, working and attempting to achieve the sustainable development goals. The country has been recording constant interruptions of power supply due to increased energy demand resulting from the development of their Citizen, construction of new industrial, hotel and Office building together with housing. The motivations is to apply garbage as other innocuous source of power or energy, knowing that in the country mainly hydropower and solar, wind, biomass in a small quantity, coal, fuel are vanishing; reduce the impact of environment, global warm and ailments caused by it. The methodologies used to achieve the objectives are thermodynamics, heat transfer expressions and the COCO-OPEN simulation methodology to predate the energy generate from the composition and quantity of MSW. The results illustrates the possibility to enforce Town massive Garbage as source of energy or power, clearly taking in account the track conditions, as the heating value of it is nearly equal to the coal value which has been used to generate energy in many plants around the world. Municipal solid waste should be the future source of electricity to many developing countries if they create the structure to deal with it, treating, separating in different categories, controllin

Taxi Cooperatives as an Alternative to Uber
Authors: Vlacic Patrick , Štromajer Jernej
Published: August 2020

The advancement of technology and digitization has enabled the development of online platforms that represent the basis of the emerging sharing economy. Critics of the sharing economy argue that these online platforms do not serve the interests of their users, but mainly the interests of their owners and investors. That is why they propose fostering the development of an alternative to the currently predominant business model within the sharing economy, in the form of online platform cooperativism. The Uber global corporation and local taxi cooperatives are presented as model examples. To serve the interests of its investors and owners, Uber is changing the existing taxi industry, resorting to tax optimisation techniques and evading current regulations, while local taxi cooperatives act in the interests of their members and in compliance with cooperative principles, embodying a well-functioning alternative to Uber.

al Affairs Administration established by local self-governments in the 2016-2019period calls for tenders more and more frequently. Beside public utility companies founded by local self-government units there is an increasing number of the so called “other enterprises” taking part in the bidding. The aim of the authors was to determine at what prices the Local Affairs Administration concluded agreements with the said enterprises that participated in the public bidding. The authors came to relevant findings as they had an insight in the agreements concluded between the Local Affairs Administration and the bidders in the 2017-2019 period. Accordingly, the authors` contribution is in finding that following calling for tenders and tender procedures agreements between the Local Affairs Administration and bidders are concluded at prices that are lower than in case of direct bargaining between the Local Affairs Administration and public utility companies. That is, conducting tender procedures is beneficial to the Local Affairs Administration as less money of taxpayers is spent on the same public utility service.

Authors: Castanho Rui Alexandre
Published: August 2020

Within European territories, exists a large number of borderlands comprising several Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) projects and strategies. However, these CBC relationships are known by a high level of complexity. Therefore, the study of all the variables and factors that could influence the success or failure of these CBC projects and strategies are critical to reaching long-lasting territorial sustainability. Contextually, the present paper analyzes the border cooperation of eight CBC projects (seventeen European cities) focusing on the political engagement and transparency. Furthermore, the study allows us to identify and isolate the four main critical factors to consider from a political perspective: (i) Connectivity - Movement between cities; (ii) Political transparency and commitment; (iii) Common objectives and master plans; and (iv) Young and talented people magnet.

Authors: Knežević Goranka , Pavlović Vladan
Published: August 2020

In this research, we emphasize the issues of collecting environmental taxes and spending for environmental protection at the EU 28 plus countries as a benchmark and Serbia. We find no correlation between environmental taxes in EU and expenses incurred for the environment, while at the same time there is a positive, statistically significant relationship between the two variables in Serbia. The observed period covers 2009-2017. This means that government taxes and budget are the main sources of financing green projects in Serbia, therefore, showing lower environmental awareness of companies and citizens.
Local-level Nudging for Renewables in Slovenia: Organisational Aspects and Legal Limitations
Authors: Tomazic Luka Martin
Published: August 2020

Proliferation of renewable energy is high on the agenda of the European Union. In it, local government plays an important role. Besides traditional regulatory approaches such as legislation, nudging could have a positive effect on achieving the desired policy goals. This article analyses the legal framework within which the local-level practice of nudging is embedded in the Republic of Slovenia. Since EU-level legislation and ECHR aspects are analysed as well, the application of findings is broader than merely the national legal system. Nudging could be performed either by using the existing infrastructure or through the creation of local energy organisations. Three main groups of legal limitations are identified, namely state-level limitations, GDPR-related concerns and constitutional or human rights considerations. Defaults and individualised informing are emphasized as two of the most promising nudge-types in the field of renewable energy.

Authors: León-Silva Jeimi Maribel , Dasi-Gonzalez Rosa Maria , Montesionos-Julve Vicente
Published: August 2020

Requests from different categories of users for information on sustainability have manifested the need to disclose non-financial information. The objective of this document is to analyze the level of disclosure of sustainability information from local governments of the Pacific Alliance countries, performing content analysis of the entities’ websites in the year 2018. Results show that local governments of the Pacific Alliance are interested in disclosing sustainability-related information, based on the aspects considered in the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines, but their level of disclosure is low, achieving 40% of the criteria assessed and mainly focused on general and economic information, with lower level of disclosure of social and environmental aspects. This work contributes to the literature on the characteristics of sustainability disclosure in local governments in developing countries such as from the Latin American zone.
Emerging Topics on Inter-municipal Cooperation in the Czech Republic: Policy Networking, Regionalization and Financial Indicators
Authors: Bakoš Eduard , Němec Daniel , Hrůza Filip , Mix Troy
Published: August 2020

Inter-municipal cooperation is not solely about the cooperation of two or more municipalities. Professional networking or another kind of membership or cooperation could be also positive incentives for strengthening municipal cooperation. Czech Republic belongs to countries where there is not only one national professional association of municipalities with regional structures and this could offer the questions about their influence on inter-municipal cooperation. In this paper we use data from a full sample of Czech municipalities to reveal the role of variables including professional networking activity, regional structures and financial conditions on the existence or development of municipal cooperation. The results of regression analyses provide indistinct explanations. Membership in one national association increases the probability that the municipality will begin or sustain membership in a voluntary association of municipalities (VAM), while membership in another association tends to decrease the probability for engagement in VAM. Since the distribution of municipalities in the territory is not uniform, and individual municipalities have different socio-demographic and territorial characters, we decided to explore the basic characteristics of the municipality such as non-financial and financial indicators. Further, for small municipalities, we were not able to verify the hypothesis that they would be more likely to cooperate due to lack of resources or more adverse financial conditions.
