Published: May 2024

Pig livestock feed generally competes with human needs; therefore, alternative feed is needed in the form of tamarind seeds, which contain nutrients but are also antinutrients. The technology required was to use fermented liquid feed. This study aimed to examine the effects of tamarind seeds on the nutrient digestibility growth performance of pigs. The study used a randomized blocked design (RBD) with 4 treatments and replications. In the present study, R0 = fermented liquid feed (FLF) without tamarind seeds (TS), R10 = FLF with 10% TS, R20 = FLF with 20% TS, and R30 = FLF with 30% TS. The analyzed data were subjected to analysis of variance and Duncan's test. The research variables were nutrient consumption and nutrient digestive rations. The results showed that increasing the percentage of TS in FLF had no significant effect (P>0.05) on nutrient consumption or crude fat digestibility in Landrace crossed pigs but had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, nitrogen-free extracts, crude fat, crude fiber, and ash. The conclusion is that tamarind seeds could be used in fermented liquid feed up to 30%, but it is better to use 20% to increase the nutrient digestibility of pigs. Further research regarding its use to determine the performance of carcass production is recommended

Published: May 2024

The diversity of plant species in Indonesia has resulted in a wide variety of floral honey. The antioxidant activities of these Indonesian honeys have not been determined. Ten types of honey from indigenous Indonesian sources (9 monofloral; 1 heterofloral) were evaluated for their antioxidant activity using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. The Folin-Ciocalteu test was used to determine the total phenolic content, and an aluminum chloride colorimetric assay was used to determine the total flavonoid content. SDS–PAGE was used to determine the molecular weights of the honey proteins. The mean antioxidant activity of the honey samples, defined as the IC50 of DPPH, ranged from 5.46 to 34.42. The mean total phenol content ranged from 27.57 to 53.85 mg GAE/100 g, and the mean flavonoid content ranged from 3.58–15.67 mg CE/100 g. A protein of ~60 kDa was detected in all honey varieties. A positive correlation was observed between antioxidant activity, total phenols, and total flavonoids, indicating that their phenolic and flavonoid components confer the antioxidant activity of these honey varieties. To the best of our knowledge, indigenous Indonesian honey, especially monofloral Calliandra honey, has shown greater antioxidant activity than other kinds of honey worldwide.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with 200 ppm vitamin E in a diet with different nutrient contents on the performance and health status of the IPD-D3 candidate chicken strain. This research used 160 IPB-D3 chickens that were reared for 5 to 12 weeks. This experiment used a completely randomized factorial design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. P0 = control diet, P1 = control diet minus 3% ME and 3% PK, P2 = P0 + vitamin E 200 ppm, P3 = P1+ vitamin E 200 ppm. The data were analysed using ANOVA with an interaction’s significant difference test. The results showed that there was an interaction effect between supplementation with 200 ppm vitamin E and different nutrient contents on feed consumption (P<0.05). Supplementation of vitamin E (200 ppm) in the control diet according to Cobb’s recommendation gave the highest feed consumption. A decrease in the metabolizable energy (90,50 kcal kg-1) and crude protein (7.2%) of the diet (P1) significantly decreased (P<0.05) the final body weight, body weight gain and feed efficiency. Supplementation with 200 ppm vitamin E significantly (P<0.05) decreased the leukocyte count. In conclusion, reducing the metabolic energy and protein content of the diet reduced chicken growth by 10.40% and feed efficiency by 7.24%. Supplementation of vitamin E in the diet has a good effect on immunity and reduces leukocytes. According to the Cobb broiler standard (2018), the IPB-D3 chicken strain still responds to a diet that contains nutrients supplemented with 200 ppm vitamin E, which results in good performance and production

Bacteriophages Therapy: Exploring Their Promising Role in Microbiome Modulation and Combatting Antibiotic Resistance
Authors: Alsayed Ahmad R. , Permana Andi Dian
Published: May 2024

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria, exhibiting specificity towards particular bacterial strains. Despite being overshadowed by traditional antibiotics in the West, interest in phage therapy has resurged due to the escalating antimicrobial resistance crisis. Understanding phage biology, selection, production, and pharmacology is crucial for their clinical application. Phages interact intricately with the human microbiome, influencing bacterial populations and potentially offering therapeutic avenues for microbiome-related diseases. Moreover, phages present a promising alternative to combat antibiotic resistance, leveraging their specificity and evolutionary adaptability. Regulatory approval and standardization challenges persist, yet ongoing research underscores the potential of phage therapy in clinical medicine.
Long-Term Emotional Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Barriers and Facilitators to Digital Mental Health Tools in Long-Term Care Workers: Qualitative Study
Authors: González-Spinoglio Leticia , Monistrol-Mula Anna , Vindrola-Padros Cecilia , Aguilar-Ortiz Salvatore , Carreras Bernat , Haro Josep Maria , Felez-Nobrega Mireia
Published: May 2024

Background

The overall pandemic created enormous pressure on long-term care workers (LTCWs), making them particularly vulnerable to mental disorders. Despite this, most of the available evidence on professional well-being during COVID-19 has exclusively focused on frontline health care workers.

Objective

This study aimed to identify the long-term psychological needs of LTCWs derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore barriers and facilitators related to digital mental health tools. This is part of a project that seeks to develop a digital mental health intervention to reduce psychological distress in this population group.

Methods

We performed a qualitative study with a rapid research approach. Participants were LTCWs of the autonomous community of Catalonia. We conducted 30 semistructured interviews between April and September 2022. We used a qualitative content analysis method with an inductive-deductive approach.

Results

The period of the pandemic with the highest mental health burden was the COVID-19 outbreak, with almost all workers having experienced some form of emotional distress. Emotional distress persisted over time in more than half of the participants, with fatigue and nervousness being the main emotions expressed at the time of the interview. High workload, the feeling that pandemic times are not over, and poor working conditions that have remained since then have been the most frequently expressed determinants of such emotions. Potential barriers and facilitators to engagement with digital tools were also identified in terms of previous experience and beliefs of the target population, possibilities for the integration of a digital tool into daily life, preferences regarding the level of guidance, the possibility of social connectedness through the tool, and privacy and confidentiality. The identified factors may become especially relevant in the context of the pandemic remission phase.

Conclusions

More than 2 years after the pandemic outbreak, emotional distress is still relevant. The persistent burden of psychological distress points to a need for institutions to take action to improve working conditions and promote employees’ well-being. Considering factors that act as barriers and facilitators for the use of digital mental health tools, it is important to develop tailored tools that could offer valuable support to this population during and after a pandemic.

Authors:   Jeric
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

As time progressed, the use of social media has changed the ways our society has lived and communed with each other, most noticeably it has evolved the way relationships are formed between parents and adolescent children. It has led to significant changes resulting in parents' views of social media, which can be both beneficial and harmful.

OBJECTIVE

This paper further understands how parents' overall lived experiences in social media guidance for their children and their parental mediations and insights.

METHODS

Using phenomenological approach as well as In-depth interviews as well as Focused Group Discussions to find the data needed. The researchers gathered 12 participants in total, seven (7) for the in-depth interview and five (5) for the focused group discussions. The participants were parents from Davao City who had children 10-19 years old and daily social media users. Thematic analysis was also utilized to triangulate data to corresponding themes and ideas that appeared consistently with the participant’s answers. This allows for better conclusions and thorough results.

RESULTS

Although the research questions had been separated within three categories a total of 9 themes were observed throughout the whole interview (1)
The incapabilities and insufficiencies of parents regarding social media guidance, (2) Concerns of parents in terms of content and social media activities, (3) Negative experiences of social media on parent-child relationship, (4) Positive experiences of social media on parent-child relationship, (5) Hands-on strategies of parents to improve social media guidance, (6) Improving knowledge about social media guidance, (7) Passive adjustments of parents to improve on social media guidance, (8) Changes and differences observed by parents, (9) Effective Parental Mediation realized by parents.

CONCLUSIONS

Although parents' views were mostly negative, there were positive views that led to their children benefiting from social media. Effective ways of parenting observed by parents were being more open to their uses and co-using social media allowed for major improvements and bonds between parent and child.

Neuromuscular junction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Is there more to follow?
Authors: Vashadze Sh. , Kekenadze M. , Kvirkvelia N. , Beridze M.
Published: May 2024

Background. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) causes progressive degeneration of upper motor neurons in the cortex, and lower motor neurons in the spine. In addition, it is unclear where motor neuron dysfunction begins and what causes motor neuron degeneration: whether it is the dying forward process or the dying back phenomenon where motor neuron degeneration begins distally at the nerve terminal or at the neuromuscular junction and progresses toward the cell body, is still a matter of debate. Materials and methods. Are there neuromuscular junction disorders in the early stages of ALS? To answer this, we described 5 patients with ALS presented at Petre Sarajishvili Institute of Neurology in 2018–2022, 3 males and 2 females aged 50–61 years. ALS diagnosis was based on clinical signs, the Gold Coast criteria, electromyography (Awaji), neuroimaging, blood and urine tests. At the early stage of the disease, only asymmetric ptosis and diplopia were noted, which did not improve on pyridostigmine or steroids. Results. We studied patients’ anamnesis, physical data, evaluated their mental, cognitive functions and neurological status. We have also interviewed family members, as it was often difficult for the patient to accurately describe the symptoms. Acetylcholine receptor antibodies were mildly positive only in one patient. Thymoma was excluded. The neurophysiological study showed only marked neuromuscular transmission failure in orbicularis oculi, there were no clinical and electromyographic signs of motor neuron damage. Conclusions. Approximately 2 years later, all five patients developed clinical and electromyographic signs of ALS. In the present study, neuromuscular junction disorders are found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of ALS and may serve as a useful early diagnostic marker.

Autonomic disorders predominate or are present in most patients with pathological conditions, especially traumatic and ischemic brain injuries. The use of physical factors of therapy, especially electric influence, easily changes the activity of the autonomic system, which adapts the body to external conditions. Of particular interest is the intranasal drug delivery, including neuropeptides, in combination with electric influence while using olfactory autonomic pathways in the central nervous system, a number of visceral reflexes, neurohumoral effects, active moments of galvanization and others. The conducted clinical and experimental studies confirm the pathogenetic mechanisms of intranasal use of peptide compounds and their effectiveness. In experimental brain trauma or ischemia in rats, intranasal administration of neuropeptides normalized bioelectrogenesis, behavioral, and cognitive activity, neurological deficit, and morphological damage. The antioxidant effect was separately confirmed. The work presents several authors’ techniques for intranasal electric influence with drugs for correcting the state of the autonomic system, cerebral hemodynamics in case of ischemic or traumatic damage to the central nervous system. The positive effects of therapy for cognitive deficits, vascular and autonomic disorders are described. Intranasal delivery of neuropeptides to the central nervous system makes it possible to decrease a medication load by reducing their therapeutic doses. Thus, a number of positive effects of the presented technique are described, which should be used in rehabilitation neurology and can be a “trigger” of neurological processes in the central nervous system.

Published: May 2024

The proliferation of e-bus has swept the globe. Many countries have begun the transformation of electric buses. Electric buses are embraced worldwide for their environmental and low-cost advantages. This work will help local governments establish a complete e-bus system.The first question mainly addresses the ecological impact that would be brought by the impact. In this work, the Ecological Impact Quantification Model (EIQM) is developed to address gaseous pollution including Greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, pollutants nitric oxide and PM2.5. The ecological effect enhancement with e-bus system is presented, and especially, the gaseous pollution caused by electricity production is approximated by the Monte Carlo simulation method. As a result, this team figures out that with the development of e-bus system, the average CO2 emission per person decreases, having a reduction of 11391g at first, and 14039g after five years.The second question mainly addresses the financial problem that the government needs to face. In this work, the Quantification of Financial Impact Model (QFIM) is developed. This team utilizes the differential equation to obtain the exact varying rate of diesel fuel and electricity fee, and finally determined the possible range of the government deficit. By synthesizing these data, this team discovers that the government could start reducing its deficit after 8 years of the transformation from diesel bus to e-bus, having deficit from $-88,412,180 to $-64,182,722.The third question addresses the 10-year plan for the selected city and 2 additional cities. This team develops Optimized Deployment Model based on Greedy Algorithm (ODGA) to optimize the transformation plan over 10 years of existing bus routes and the number of e-bus to be constructed per year. Monetary and time utility is considered and Greedy Algorithm is introduced to find out the best travelling route for e-buses. This team successfully figures out the best transformation plan of travelling routes and number of e-bus to be constructed per year to maximize the efficiency, including 5-min interval departure time and 867 buses are required to run the proposed route in Chicago. Finally, the team writes a piece of letter to Chicago Transit Authority and proposes the 10-year plan of e-bus system construction to guarantee the steady implementation of e-bus.

Authors: Li Huiming
Published: May 2024

Currently, object detection technology is becoming more and more mature, but there are still a lot of challenges in recognizing students' classroom behaviors. In order to address the problems of inaccuracy and high computation of existing models in the process of student classroom behavior recognition, this paper adopts the improved Yolov8n model to detect and recognize student classroom behavior. Based on Yolov8n, the method adds an efficient shuffle attention to increase the ability of feature extraction and improve the model recognition accuracy; secondly, the bounding box loss function is optimized to improve the model's localization ability. The experimental results show that the mAP50 and mAP50-95 metrics of the proposed model on the student classroom behavior dataset are 99.9% and 95.4%, respectively. The proposed model can achieve the detection and identification of classroom behavior more quickly and accurately with lower computing cost, and can realize the dynamic and scientific identification of students' classroom learning.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: Generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy involve many operational losses. We can defined the losses in generation technically but distribution and transmission losses cannot be precisely quantified with the sending end information. This illustrates the involvement of nontechnical parameter in transmission and distribution of electricity. Moreover technical losses occur naturally and are caused because of power dissipation in transmission lines, transformers, and other power system components. Technical losses in Transmission & Distribution are computed with the information about total load and the total energy bill. While technology in the raising slopes, we should also note the increasing immoral activities. The system prevents the illegal usage of electricity. At this point of technological development the problem of illegal usage of electricity can be solved without any human control using IoT. With the implementation of this system will save large amount of electricity, and there by electricity will be available for more number of consumer then earlier, in highly populated country such as India, China. Power theft can be defined as the usage of the electrical power without any legal contract with the supplier. To see it, a proposed system (current measurement and comparison) is proposed in which the distribution of family power is done indirectly from the distribution box to each house. Power theft is a persistent issue in many countries, leading to significant financial losses for utility companies and affecting the reliability of power supply. In this study, we propose a novel approach for detecting power theft in transmission lines using NodeMCU ESP8266, a low-cost Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller, and Blynk IoT platform for remote monitoring and control.The proposed system involves installing current sensors at various locations along the transmission lines to measure the current flow. The NodeMCU ESP8266 is used as a data acquisition unit that collects the current data from the sensors and sends it to the Blynk IoT platform via Wi-Fi for real-time monitoring. The Blynk platform provides a user-friendly interface for visualizing the data and setting up alarms and notifications for abnormal current patterns, which could indicate power theft. The system can also track power consumption trends, identify abnormal usage patterns, and provide insights for optimizing power distribution. The proposed system has several advantages, including low-cost implementation, real-time monitoring, remote access, and easy customization through the Blynk platform. It has the potential to significantly reduce power theft, improve revenue collection for utility companies, and enhance the overall reliability of power supply in transmission lines. Further research and development can be done to optimize the system's performance and expand its applications in different power distribution scenarios.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: Cloud computing offers scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, driving its widespread adoption. However, efficient resource management remains a challenge due to virtualization and the pay-as-you-go model (CPU, memory, network, storage, etc.). This paper addresses this by analyzing various job scheduling algorithms for task allocation and execution in the cloud. We propose a set of scheduling rules that aim to minimize completion time, cost, and resource utilization while evaluating their execution time. CloudSim is employed to analyze the overall effectiveness of the proposed scheduling techniques. Furthermore, this study investigates the result of workload characteristics and application requirements on the effectiveness of different scheduling algorithms. By understanding these factors, system designers are able to make deft choices to optimize resource allocation and enhance cloud service efficiency

Abstract: Researchers studying computer architecture are paying close attention to processing-in-memory (PIM) techniques and a lot of time and money has been spent exploring and developing them. It is hoped that increasing the amount of research done on PIM approaches will help fulfill PIM’s promise to eliminate or greatly minimize memory access bottleneck issues for memory-intensive applications. In order to uncover unresolved issues, empower the research community to make wise judgments, and modify future research trajectories, we also think it is critical to keep track of PIM research advancements. In this review, we examine recent research that investigated PIM methodologies, highlight the innovations, contrast contemporary PIM designs, and pinpoint the target application domains and appropriate memory technologies. We also talk about ideas that address problems with PIM designs that have not yet been solved, such as the translation and mapping of operands, workload analysis to find application segments that can be sped up with PIM, OS/runtime support, and coherency problems that need to be fixed before PIM can be used. We think that this work can be a helpful resource for researchers looking into PIM methods.
Strength Evaluation of Concrete using Over burnt Brick Stone as Replacement of Coarse Aggregate
Authors: Sahu Sameer Ranjan
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This research highlights on the behavior of concrete, prepared by the partial replacement of regular aggregate with over-burnt brick aggregate (jhama brick) with a replacing percentages of 0% , 35, 50% & 60% over M20 Grade of concrete which reduces the cost of aggregate (upto 30%) with higher strength, which also results in overall cost in building too .The effect of compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were reported . The received compaction factor is 0.92, 0.89, 0.88, and 0.87 with varying percentage of (0%, 35%, 50%, 60%) Jhama class brick respectively. This research was conducted to study the suitability crushed over burnt bricks as alternative course aggregates for concrete production. The compressive strength of this concrete is found to be 27.12 , 30.41, 26.02, 23.31 for 0%, 35%, 50%, 60% respectively. The concrete cube, beams and cylinders of M-20 grade were thrown in this trail, explore work and try to analyze different properties of concrete with crushed over burnt bricks as an alternative material. The result shows that the aggregate in concrete derived from Over Burnt bricks aggregate attained relatively higher strength upto the certain percentage and decreases after that, than the regular concrete. More detailed and elaborated work is recommended with different mix ratio and a different proportion of Over Burnt aggregates for a better conclusion.

Abstract: Access to safe drinking water is not only the elementary need of human being but also honored as an mortal right .For overall development of the country , as acceptable nutrition, education, gender equivalency, and particularly the eradication of poverty in developing countries are required , along with that furnishing safe drinkable water is equally important . Fluoride one of the water quality parameters of concern, with redundant( beyond1.5 mg/ l, World Health Organization( WHO) guideline value of what contaminates groundwater coffers in numerous corridors of the world, and renders it not drinkable for mortal consumption, due to affiliated adverse health goods thus, knowledge of its junking, using the stylish fashion with optimum effectiveness demanded . Taking the inflexibility of the problem into consideration, the present paper aims to give a retrospective approach to the use of effective low- cost adsorbents for the junking of fluoride from water . The defluoridation capacity of certain low- cost natural adsorbents like Groundnut shell powder and Soya chunk powder were added in the list and discussed. The effect of pH, adsorbent dose, initial concentration , and contact time also delved . It's set up that the junking of Fluoride ions at optimum parameters like pH, adsorbent dose ,initial concentration and contact time is at 7, 2gm, 5mg/ l, and 100 minutes respectively for groundnut shell powder and 6, 2gm, 5mg/ l, and 100 minutes respectively for Soya chunk powder. For all optimum parameters, the maximum reduction in Fluoride ions observed in the range of 55 to 65% for groundnut shell powder whereas for soya chunk powder it's 40 to 50%

En el ámbito del contrato de compraventa, y específicamente en el contenido de la obligación del vendedor, el enunciado “dar una cosa” (art. 1661 del Código Civil de Uruguay) podría implicar la obligación de entregar la posesión de un bien o la obligación de transferir el dominio, aspecto que ha sido debatido en el ámbito doctrinal. A pesar de que la jurisprudencia y doctrina tradicional limitan el contenido de la obligación del vendedor al deber de entregar la posesión del bien, una revisión conceptual y contextual vinculada con otros contratos nominados del mismo Código Civil, así como con negocios jurídicos de similar contenido que la compraventa creados por leyes especiales posteriores, sumada a la aplicación de reglas de la interpretación lógico sistemática, teleológica y evolutiva, determinan que el vendedor no solo está obligado a entregar la posesión del bien objeto de la compraventa, sino también a transmitir la propiedad.
