Motivation is defined as an impetus that moves and directs a person to do something based on what he wants, which is aimed at the goal he wants. IQ (intelligence quotient) itself is a test result that shows the cognitive abilities possessed by individuals to learn new experiences, reason well and solve problems effectively. The discussion about motivation and IQ is quite interesting for many parties, especially when comparing it with success in life, including success in learning language. The results of theoretical studies and previous studies show that both motivation and IQ have a large influence on language learning. However, motivation has more significant effect than IQ in determining the success of language learners. There are several causative factors, namely every language learning always begins with motivation, while IQ is only a support in smooth language acquisition; and motivation has a close relationship with other factors such as self-confidence, high curiosity, optimism, courage, and so on; and language learners who have high IQs but are not motivated to learn languages ​​will tend to be less enthusiastic and not serious.

Published: July 2024

Traktör hidrolik kaldırıcılarının performansı, önemli ölçüde kaldırma kapasitesi ve çeki kontrol sisteminin hassasiyeti ile belirlenir. Konuyla ilgili uzun süredir devam eden uygulamalardan da anlaşılacağı gibi, mekanik-hidrolik çeki kontrol sistemlerinde çeki kuvvetini algılama sistemleri çok parçalı ve karmaşıktır. Elektro-hidrolik çeki kontrol sistemleri, nispeten basit olmakla birlikte, yük pimleri (load pin) ve elektronik kontrol üniteleri gibi pahalı ve özel elektronik parçalar içerir. Ayrıca yük piminin sisteme uygulanabilmesi için hidrolik kaldırıcı gövdesi ve reaksiyon mesnedi ayrı parçalar olarak tasarlanmalı ve yük pimleri ve diğer bazı bağlantı alt parçaları ile birleştirilmelidir. Özel elektronik bileşenler ve çok parçalı karmaşık bir tasarım, iyileştirilmesi gereken bir sorun olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, traktör hidrolik kaldırıcılarında kullanılan elektro-hidrolik çeki kontrol sistemlerindeki mevcut yük pimleri yerine, çeşitli traktörlere kolaylıkla adapte edilebilecek ve aynı işlevi fonksiyon kaybı olmadan sağlayabilecek alternatif bir tasarım önerilmiştir. Çok parçalı tasarım yerine kaldırıcı gövdesi ve reaksiyon mesnedinin tek parça halinde entegre edilen bu alternatif sistem tasarımda bir avantaj olarak sunulmaktadır. Çalışmada reaksiyon mesnedi üzerine yeni tasarım için uygulama yapılabilecek en uygun nokta sonlu elemanlar (FEA) analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Yeni tasarım, hidrolik kaldırıcı test düzeneğine uygulanmış ve işlevselliğini doğrulamak için deneysel olarak test edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, yeni tasarımın pratikliğini ve güvenilirliğini doğrulamaktadır.

The traditional Turkish house is a type of house that can be described as a cultural heritage, having developed since the moment the Turks appeared on the stage of history and has survived to the present day. Traditional houses are civil architectural works that are built according to the physical conditions and cultural characteristics of the environment they belong to, have become historical, and have become a national symbol. The main idea behind the creation of houses is directly related to the traditional construction rules and building materials of the period to which they belong. In the Western Black Sea Region, where the study was carried out, studies were made on the architecture of traditional houses in the Konuralp District of Düzce province. Konuralp District, a settlement where many historical layers from ancient times to the present day can be seen together, was built on the ancient Roman city of Prusias ad Hypium. In the study, six registered traditional houses, which have survived to the present day with many civil architectural works while preserving their historical texture, were evaluated in terms of building-street relationship, plan typology, facade features, materials, and construction techniques in order to determine their similarity with the architectural features of traditional Turkish houses. It was determined that the traditional houses examined were similar to the concept of Turkish house.

Published: July 2024

This paper reports on the Cangkuak from the fermentation of meat and bones using bamboo shoots, added rice and salt stored in a container (anaerobic conditions). The cangkuak was obtained from the Riau (Indonesia). The cangkuak may contain lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are essential in the fermentation process. Most LAB is gram-positive bacteria with some health benefits, such as antibacterial. This study investigated the isolate and characterized LAB from cangkuak by an antibacterial activity test. The bacteria used Bacillus Cereus, S. Aureus, E. Colli, and Salmonella sp. Bacterial isolates were grown on MRS agar media, to which 0,5% CaCO3 was added and then purified using the streak method. The results obtained were pure isolates. The results of the cangkuak isolation showed 8 LAB isolates. The eight isolates were characterized by standard Bergey's manual of systemic bacteriology (genus Lactobacillus sp). Furthermore, an antibacterial test revealed differences in ineffectiveness against the inhibition zone. Cangkuak (CK) 3.1 isolate was most effective in inhibiting bacterial growth. The size of the inhibition zone for Aureus, E. Colli, and Salmonella sp. were 10.82 mm, 12.65 mm, and 12.29 mm, respectively. This result could indicate the presence of LAB isolates from fermented foods that have the potential to be antibacterial.

Physico-chemical and bacteriological quality assessment of some selected sachet water brands produced in Gwale local government Area, Kano Nigeria
Authors: Hassan Muhammad Maishanu  , Habiba Muhammad  , Salisu Ado Gezawa
Published: July 2024

The proliferation of sachet water products has been fuelled by the rising demand for clean, safe drinking water in areas where access to potable water sources remains a challenge. Unfortunately, some of the sachet water producers fail to adhere to the standards set by regulatory agencies, resulting in potential health risk for the unsuspecting consumers. Therefore, critical investigation of the various parameters of these water products is needed to determine whether they meet the safety standards established by regulatory agencies. Thirty (30) different brands of sachet water (15 NAFDAC registered and 15 non-NAFDAC registered) were randomly collected (n=3) from producers in Gwale Local Government Area, Kano Nigeria to assess their physico-chemical and bacteriological quality. The parameters were determined using standard methods. The mean results of the temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity, chloride and total hardness of the NAFDAC registered samples were found to be in the range of 25.9-29.7 oC, 6.8-7.2, 0.1-1.2 NTU, 11.0-41.8µs/cm,15.0-25.1 mg/L and 2.0-17.6 mg/L respectively, while for the non-NAFDAC registered samples, the mean range were found to be 25.8-30.8 oC, 6.6-8.7, 0.5-2.2 NTU, 13.6-46.8 µs/cm, 17.0 23.0mg/L and 15.8-25.3 mg/L for the same parameters respectively. These results are in compliance with the standards set by the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS) and World Health Organization (WHO) except pH values of 8.7 found in some non-NAFDAC registered samples which were a bit higher than the recommended limits. Some non- NAFDAC registered samples were found to contain aerobic mesophilic bacteria, though below the limit set by the aforementioned regulatory agencies. Statistically, there is significant difference (p>2.326) between the NAFDAC registered and the non-NAFDAC registered samples in aerobic mesophilic bacterial count but there is no significant difference in terms of coliform count between the two groups (p< 2.326). This finding highlights the need for regular microbiological monitoring so as to ensure public health safety.

Protocol for dissection of Drosophila abdomens for fluorescent imaging
Authors: Blessie Pradeeka Gudelly  , Komal Kumar Bollepogu Raja
Published: July 2024

Fluorescent imaging in Drosophila species is indispensable for investigating dynamic biological processes and visualizing gene expression patterns with cellular precision. This technique leverages the transparency of Drosophila larvae and pupae, combined with advanced microscopy, to enable real-time observation of developmental events such as morphogenesis and organogenesis. Genetically encoded fluorescent proteins and dyes allow specific labeling of cells and proteins, facilitating detailed studies of spatial and temporal dynamics within intact tissues. Techniques like confocal and two-photon microscopy provide high resolution and depth penetration, essential for 3D reconstruction and quantitative analysis of complex biological structures. Fluorescent imaging in Drosophila supports disease modeling, drug screening, and therapeutic exploration, bridging insights from basic biology to potential clinical applications. It is therefore necessary to develop imaging techniques and protocols that accurately capture and profile gene expression patterns in a wide range of Drosophila tissues. In this study, we present a detailed protocol for preparing and imaging transgenic Drosophila abdomen, which will enable researchers investigate gene expression patterns underlying fundamental biological processes in the abdomen.

Mucormycosis was a rapidly progressing and life-threatening fungal infection. After surgery, we should anticipate seeing more individuals with orofacial abnormalities given the total number of cases and the orofacial region's primary involvement in the previous COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, in order to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from mucormycosis, maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation is of paramount importance. Postoperative maxillary defects can be rehabilitated through surgical and prosthetic procedures. An obturator was utilized as a part of prosthetic management to facilitate efficient deglutition and articulation. It also provides support for the facial soft tissue to restore the midfacial contour in cases of palatal defects. This case report describes about the fabrication of a definitive palatal obturator for a patient with postsurgical maxillary defect wearing interim obturator made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Food impaction and irritation of the fitting surface over the tissue defect, resulting in erythema to the tissue surface and discomfort of using interim obturator. With the remaining teeth and tissues serving as support, the definitive obturator made of cobalt and chromium was made. With no degradation in the prosthesis, the follow-up showed satisfactory outcomes.

In language and communication, multimodality refers to using various modes of signification to convey meaning. These modes transcend language to engage with audiences at multiple sensory levels. Over time, communication has evolved to reflect a paradigm shift towards a multimodal perspective. This leads to a complex interplay between different modes of shaping interpretations and constructing meaning in discourse, which has attracted little research. This paper explores the concept of multimodality as used in the television advertisement discourse of Raha premium maize meal, using the Multimodal Discourse Analysis Theory. The objective is to investigate how viewers interpret and perceive different modes of signification employed in the advertisement. A descriptive research design with a qualitative approach is used in the collection and analysis of data. The findings reveal that each mode of signification has a unique role, some of which television viewers hardly denote their meaning. Further, politics, religion, and culture influence the perception of some modes of signification used in the advertisement. We recommend that the advertisements be tailored with modes of signification that resonate with the expectations of television viewers. The findings of this paper are intended to enrich linguistic theory concerning the analysis of the representation of meaning in a text and perceptions of modes of signification used.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies, with a five-year survival rate of less than 10%, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and rapid disease progression. Early detection is critical for improving patient outcomes, yet current diagnostic methods lack the sensitivity and specificity needed for effective screening. This review explores the integration of advanced imaging techniques with artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the early detection of pancreatic cancer. Emphasizing a biological approach, we examine the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer and how they manifest in imaging data. Key imaging modalities, including high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET), are evaluated for their efficacy in visualizing pancreatic abnormalities. AI algorithms, particularly machine learning and deep learning, are discussed in the context of their ability to analyze complex imaging datasets, identify subtle biomarkers, and predict disease onset with high accuracy. We delve into the biological markers that AI algorithms can detect, such as changes in the tumor microenvironment, alterations in tissue architecture, and specific molecular signatures of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Furthermore, the integration of AI with molecular imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), is explored to provide a multi-faceted approach to early diagnosis. The review also highlights the potential of combining AI-driven imaging with liquid biopsies and genomics to create a comprehensive diagnostic framework. By leveraging the power of AI to interpret complex biological data, we propose a novel paradigm for the early detection of pancreatic cancer, aiming to improve screening protocols, enable timely therapeutic interventions, and ultimately enhance patient survival rates. In supposition, the integration of AI with advanced imaging techniques holds significant promise for revolutionizing the early detection of pancreatic cancer. Continued research and clinical validation are essential to translate these technological advancements into routine clinical practice, offering hope for better prognostic outcomes in patients with this devastating disease.

Preeclampsia is a life-threatening pregnancy-induced disorder characterized by the presence of hypertension and proteinuria occurring after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously normotensive and aproteinuric woman. This study is aimed at investigating the maternal serum levels of estriol in pregnant women with preeclampsia. This is an analytical cross-sectional study including a total of 90 pregnant women aged 18-41years at 26-40 weeks of gestation, according to the last date of menstruation and ultrasonographic measurements. Forty five of these were preeclamptic while the other forty five were apparently healthy individuals. Preeclampsia was determined by proteinuria ≥30mg/dl or ≥1+ using a urine dipstick and sphygmomanometer blood pressure reading of ≥ 140/90 mmHg using ausculatory method. BMI was calculated from weight and height measurements of each participant. Estriol (E3) levels were determined utilizing the double-antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay technique. Hypothesis testing was done using the student’s t-test for continuous variables, Chi-square test for categorical variables and Pearson’s correlation for the tests of association. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. The mean serum values of E3 were significantly lower in women with preeclampsia (124.18±22.40) compared with the apparently healthy control counterparts (141.41±20.68, p<0.001). A moderate negative correlation was observed between maternal serum estriol level and BMI in the preeclamptic group (r = -0.589; p<0.001). There existed a strong negative correlation between maternal serum estriol level and systolic (r = -0.738; p<0.001) as well as diastolic (r = -0.711; p<0.001) blood pressures in women with preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is associated with lower maternal serum levels of estriol which may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of the disorder.
