Authors: Pane Evi
Published: September 2023

The 3in1 training for electronics operators aims to deliver competent participants. Therefore, it is necessary to improves the learning curriculum and materials. However, the organizer and teaching staff lack information about the factors that determined the success rate of participant's competence tests. Therefore, this paper aims to build a model for predicting participant competence test result. The data of participant's assessment scores were first collected and prepared as the dataset. The prediction model builds by applying a machine learning approach. These cover the use of ANOVA to ranked the course subjects towards the competency test results (C and NC) and build the prediction model using the Random Forest algorithm. From the results, we found that the competency test results are more affected by the practical subjects rather than theory subjects. From the ANOVA results, the most significant practical subject is the screwing lesson, while for theory subject is 5S-Kaizen. The prediction model obtains an accuracy of 94,6% for 5-subjects and 91,9% for 8-subjects from the original dataset. However, from the precision rate, it was found that the oversampling and hybrid sampling dataset shown better results. This confirms that the resampling technique is working to solve the imbalanced dataset problem.

Authors: Muhammad Abdullahi Mustapha , O. Mamman Suleiman
Published: September 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic no doubt had ravaged almost all sectors of the economic system inclusive of the Agricultural sector directly or indirectly. In a bid to assess some of the impacts in this sector, the current paper examines the impact of Covid-19 on the Maize market in terms of the price and quantity in Kano State in the early periods of the pandemic given the lockdowns and restrictions. To achieve this, a survey method through the use of structured questionnaires and informal interview of key farmers as well as direct observation of respondents was used. The multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting samples for the study. The logit regression and correlation were further used to determine the magnitude of the impact. The results of the study revealed that Covid-19 had affected the market for Maize especially the market quantity which was constricted due to the lockdown in Kano State and hence affected the price of Maize. The study recommends that government should not only relax the Covid19 lockdown but should also support the farmers with incentives to boost their production to curtail the prices from rising further given that most of these farmers in the study are subsistent farmers.

Authors: Dambo Hussaini Dambo , Elijah Sunday
Published: September 2023

The study investigates the impact of oil price shocks on real GDP, real exchange rate, inflation and unemployment in Nigeria, Venezuela, Algeria, Angola and the United Arab Emirates. The study analyses the panel data for the period of 1985-2017 using P-SVAR model. The findings of the study indicate that shocks in oil price are significantly associated with changes in real GDP and inflation. The study also reveals the shocks in the price of oil do not lead to significant changes in the real exchange rate and unemployment. The result of the impulse response of the P-SVAR indicates changes in the oil prices have a significant impact on the changes in real GDP and inflation across the panel. However, the responses of oil price innovation to unemployment and the real exchange rate are found to be insignificant. Therefore, the study recommends that OPEC should put more control measures to sustain stability in the international oil market. In addition, there is a need for oil exporting countries to provide a policy framework that will translate fortunes from oil price shocks towards improving other real sectors of the economies, the shocks is favourable. There is also a need for the oil exporting countries to put in place serious fiscal and monetary policies that will checkmate the inflationary impact when the price is unfavorable at the international oil market.
NEXUS BETWEEN POINT OF SALE, AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE, MOBILE BANKING AND CURRENCY IN CIRCULATION IN NIGERIA: ARDL BOND TEST COINTEGRATION APPROACH
Authors: Bello Ismaila , Hamza Namadina
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the nexus between point of sale (POS), automated teller machine (ATM), mobile banking (MBK) and currency in circulation in Nigeria. Quarterly data were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria from January 2009- September 2020. Unit root, ARDL bond test cointegration were employed as techniques of analysis. The findings reveal that, there is significant and long run relationship between the ATM, POS MBK and currency in circulation. ARDL bound test cointegration shows that, there exists a long run cointegrating relationship between the variables under investigation. The estimated coefficient of the error correction term suggests that the system (economy) may correct its previous period disequilibrium by about 49% annually. The paper recommended that Government through the CBN should formulate and improve monetarypolicies (cashless policy) aimed at encouraging and improving E-payment system in order to actualize the objective of cashless policy in Nigeria. Also Government, monetary authorities (CBN, Ministry of finance,) and commercial banks should educate and enlighten the people on the Advantages of using POS, MBK, ATM and CCHEQ in their day to day activities in Nigeria in other to reduce currency in circulation and improve economic performance.

Authors: Abdullahi Mansur , Ibrahim Haruna Abdullahi
Published: September 2023

This study seeks to analyze the impact of fiscal policy instruments on unemployment in Nigeria from 1986 to 2020. The paper employed annual time series data obtained from central bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. Unemployment was proxied by Unemployment Rate (UMP) while fiscal policy instruments include external debt (EXD), capital expenditure (CPE), recurrent expenditure (RCE) and tax revenue (TRV). Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model was employed to test the long and short run relationship between the study variables. The co-integration bound test result shows that the variables are co-integrated. The result reveals that external debt, recurrent expenditure, and tax revenue have statistically insignificant impact on unemployment in Nigeria but capital expenditure was significance. Based on the findings, we recommended that since fiscal policy instruments alone cannot address the problem of unemployment, government should device and employ other measures such as; the use of monetary policy tools, establishment of a synergy between fiscal and monetary policies in Nigeria.
ANALYSIS OF THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IN WEST AFRICA
Authors: Malumfashi Halliru Ahmed , Umar Faruk Bashir
Published: September 2023

As climate change continues to cause more concern the world over, analyzing the causal relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions is paramount in West African sub-region that has been the hardest hit by the menace. This study investigated the causal relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions in West African countries using panel data spanning over 1970 to 2019 and employing the Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panel causality test. After establishing the order of integration of the study’s variables and cointegration, the results indicated that economic growth causes carbon emissions in the studied countries without feedback. But trade openness has a bi-directional causal relationship with carbon emission. Foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial development exhibit a unidirectional causal relationship with emissions and the causality runs from FDI and financial development to carbon emissions. However, in the case of population, the unidirectional causality runs from carbon emissions to population. The policy suggestion is that ECOWAS countries should promote conservation policies to curtail pollution while stressing the inflow of green FDI into the region.

A Mechanistic Study on the Fluidization and Enhancement Effects of Cineole Toward Stratum Corneum Intercellular Lamellar Lipids: A Liquid Crystalline Model Approach
Authors: Karami Leila , Moghimi Hamid Reza
Published: September 2023

Background: The stratum corneum (SC) serves as the primary barrier for permeation in human skin. Penetration enhancers, such as 1,8-cineole, are utilized to enhance the permeation of drugs. Cineole increases the permeation of chemicals through different mechanisms. However, its mechanism, particularly at high concentrations, has not been well-studied and is the subject of the present investigation. Objectives: In continuation of our previous studies, the present investigation aims to elucidate the mechanism of action and concentration dependency of the effects of 1,8-cineole on the structure, diffusional properties, and partitioning behavior of the SC at high concentrations. This will be achieved through lamellar liquid crystalline models and ex-vivo skin studies. Methods: A lamellar liquid crystalline lipid matrix model in the presence (25 - 90%, w/w) and absence of cineole was prepared from SC lipids and characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and polarized light microscopy (PLM) studies. Release of the model lipophilic drug (diazepam) from cineole and cineole-treated matrices and the permeation of the drug from cineole and cineole-containing matrices (as a vehicle similar to the stratum corneum lipids) through excised rat skin were studied. Drug assay was performed by HPLC. Results: The PLM, DSC, and X-ray studies showed that the model matrix had a lamellar gel-liquid crystalline structure, and cineole fluidized the structure concentration-dependently and created other mesomorphic textures, such as myelinic figures. Release experiments showed that diffusion coefficients remained almost constant at high cineole concentrations of 40-90%, suggesting similar fluidization states. Skin permeation studies indicated that the diffusion coefficient (estimated from lag-time) increased concentration-dependently and played a role in permeability coefficient (Kp) increments alongside the increased partitioning of the model drug into the skin. Data suggest that high concentrations of cineole at the skin surface might not provide enough cineole in the skin for full fluidization, despite the similarity of the vehicle to SC lipids and even at high concentrations. Conclusions: The enhancement effect of cineole is concentration-dependent and might reach maximum fluidization at certain concentrations, but this maximum might not be easily achievable when cineole is used in formulations as pure or in a vehicle.

Published: September 2023

Background: Respiratory complications are prevalent in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Breathing exercises are efficient and cost-effective techniques to eliminate this problem. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of simultaneous breathing exercises on patients' respiratory condition after CABG surgery. Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 52 CABG candidates were allocated to two intervention and control groups. The control group received routine breathing exercises (incentive spirometry and vibration). Besides routine exercises, the intervention group performed exercises such as pursed-lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, incentive spirometry, and effective coughing for three days after the surgery. The incidence of atelectasis, oxygen saturation, lung auscultation, and the patients' satisfaction with the respiratory function was measured and recorded before and after the surgery in both groups. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS v. 22 at a significance level of < 0.05. Results: The patients' mean age was 60.9 ± 9.5 years, and 26 (51%) were male. There was no significant difference between the patients in underlying parameters. None of the patients in the two groups had atelectasis before the surgery. However, four days after the surgery, 40% of the patients in the control group and 23% of those in the intervention group suffered from atelectasis complications. The visual analog scale (VAS) score increased after surgery in the intervention group, although the difference was insignificant. Moreover, the arterial oxygen saturation percentage and breathing rate increased in the intervention group. No significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding crackles at different hours after surgery, although they were relatively less in the intervention group. Conclusions: Breathing exercises, especially combined breathing exercises, improve respiratory function after open heart surgery.

The koprulu era (1656- 1703) was a period in which the Ottoman Empire’s politics were frequently dominated by a series of grand viziers from the koprulu family. The koprulu era is sometimes more narrowly defined as the period from 1653- 1683, as it was during those years that members of the family held the office of grand vizier uninterruptedly, while for the remainder of the period they occupied it only sporadically. The koprulu household, the most powerful vizierial household in the seventieth century, this article sheds light on the efficiency of the koprulu households. Thanks to their long-lasting incumbency. The koprulu grand viziers managed to establish a large network stretching from the provinces to the central bureaucracy. The koprulu were generally skilled administrators, and are credited with reviving the empire’s fortunes after a period of military defeat and economic instability. Numerous reforms were instituted under their rule, which enabled the empire to resolve its budget crises and stamp out factional conflict in the empire.

Maula Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, may ALLAH bless him and grant him peace, is a learned, trustworthy and representative scholar of Islam. He was simultaneously a thinker, a reformer, a leader, a scholar of the 20th century, a writer and a speaker at the same time. Allah had blessed him with a large portion of understanding and wisdom. He was a prolific writer in Arabic. He made the Arab world believe that even today the Arab world is passing in the scientific and religious development of the subcontinent. He rejected the propaganda that there are no more Muslims in India. Also, he informed the Arabs about the Islamic history of India. He undertook the unity and consensus of the Nation of Islam and highlighted all global issues including Palestine. The call to stick to Islamic civilization was the mission of his life. Ali Mian exposed the hollowness of the materialistic development of the West and proved that Europe has become devoid of morals. Only Islamic moral values can save the world from all crises. Mulana R.A blocked the way of efforts to undermine the intellectual and moral values of the Islamic world by being influenced by the material development of the West. Wherever such attempts were made in the Islamic world, they were strongly criticized and all energy was spent on making Muslims adhere to Islamic values. He appreciated the Islamization efforts in Pakistan and India. Here he gave a full and reasoned answer to the opinions of westernized thinkers. He was introduced Allama Iqbal to the Arab world and spread his religious values and Islamic thought and philosophy throughout the world. He was also convinced of jurisprudential expansion. He appreciated the amendments in jurisprudence, realizing the conditions of the new era. Due to the intellectual and practical expansion of Maulana, where he had a distinct position compared to his contemporary thinkers, due to the diversity of his topics, his opinion or grasp of the topic is sometimes superficial and sometimes strong. In this article we have discussed Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi's distinguish way of Criticism and a review of the prose narrative has also been presented.

Published: September 2023

Problems The government's present approach to the challenges the DHF disease faces in Indonesia is insufficient. Though, in order to regulate the DHF condition, public support is essential. The fact that the general public does not participate in Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) initiatives shows how poorly understood and known DHF illness prevention is by the general population. Examine the impact of health education on the community's awareness of DHF prevention. Pretest-posttest design with a single group, pre-experimental investigation. The population of Village Sumberwuluh Subdistrict Dawarblandong Regency Mojokerto, which consists of 289 homes and is entirely under inquiry, was represented by one responder who was between the ages of 18 and 35 in each of the 289 households. This is a simple random sampling technique. 44 people comprise the huge sample. questionnaire-based instrument study using SAP. The results showed that 32 respondents (72.7%) had sufficient knowledge of DHF prevention before obtaining health education, and 23 respondents (52.3%), after getting health education, had sufficient knowledge of DHF prevention. Based on the Wilcoxon Signed Rank statistical test results, H1 is accepted and H0 is denied, which indicates that health education has an impact on community understanding on DHF prevention. When more data is acquired and health education is observed, a better understanding of DHF prevention is attained.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle including poor eating behavior and mild physical activity which can affect glucose metabolism so that blood glucose levels are high. This study aims to determine the relationship between eating behavior and physical activity with blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Method: The study design used correlation analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Gayaman Public Health Center Mojokerto. The sampling technique of this study was consecutive sampling. The research instrument used an eating behavior questionnaire adopted from the Aethelstone and physical activity level (PAL) questionnaire and was analyzed using the Spearman Rho test.

Results: The results showed that 44.6% of respondents had poor eating behaviors, 48.2% had mild physical activity, and 80.4% had high blood glucose levels. The results of the Spearman Rho test showed that there was a significant relationship between eating behavior with blood glucose levels (p value=0,001;α<0,05) and physical activity with blood glucose levels (p value=0,002;α<0,05) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Gayaman Public Health Center Mojokerto.

Conclusion: Poor eating behaviors tend to cause high blood glucose levels because of excessive intake of food and drinks that contain carbohydrates which are metabolized to be glucose, if the patient is not doing physical activity then the glucose levels become high. The importance of controlling blood glucose levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients by improving eating behavior includes an eating schedule, reducing food and drinks that contain a lot of glucose, and increasing physical activity
