Adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices and its impact on smallholder farming households in some rural areas of North-Western Nigeria
Authors: Saadu Basiru , Ibrahim Hussaini Yusuf , Nazifi Buhari , Mudashiru Akinyemi
Published: March 2024

The study determined the impact of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) adoption on crop yield, income, and food security status of smallholder farmers in north-western Nigeria using a sample of 377 farming households. Descriptive statistics, farm budgeting, probit regression model, and treatment effect model were used for data analysis. The result revealed that 82 % of the respondents are adopters of the CSA practices. Significant differences exist in the socioeconomic attributes of the adopters and non-adopters of CSA practices. More so, adopters had significantly larger farm sizes of about 4.0ha compared to 3.4ha for non-adopters. The major CSA practices adopted include crop rotation, application of organic and inorganic fertilisers, and multiple cropping. The major determinants of CSA practices adoption are age, membership of an association, and awareness of climate change impact. The result further shows that CSA adoption will increase technical efficiency scores by 21.9 %, crop income by ₦19,389 ($17.62) per hectare, while the household per capita expenditure on food will also increase by ₦21,938 ($20.0) This implies that the adoption of climate-smart agriculture significantly improved crop yield, income and food security status of smallholder farmers. To sustain the benefits of CSA practices adoption, farmers should be supported so that they do not discontinue its adoption. Credit availability should also be facilitated by the government to enable farmers to obtain relevant agricultural inputs to complement the adoption of CSA practices.

Authors: Yahqub Mustapha , Jimoh Abdulwahab Ibrahim , Owonubi Ayodele
Published: March 2024

Land use changes influence soil quality, which is of fundamental importance in sustainable crop production and environmental management. This study evaluated land use impact on soil quality at Samaru College of Agriculture farm, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. The land use types were Tomato/Pepper, Grapevine/Fluted pumpkin, Mango/Orange, and Guava/Mango. A profile pit was dug in each land unit. Soil samples were collected from genetic horizons, prepared, and analysed in the laboratory using standard methods. Sand, silt, and clay differed significantly (p < 0.05) among the land uses. The soil texture varied from clay loam to clay. Bulk density (BD) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher under Mango/Orange and Guava/Mango than other land use types. The soil reaction (pH) ranged from 5.0 to 5.8 and was strongly to moderately acidic. Soil organic carbon was low (< 10 g/kg), total nitrogen values of 0.19 – 0.24 g/kg were low, and available phosphorus values of 1.8 – 27.4 mg/kg were rated low to high across the land use types. Soils under the Grapevine/Fluted pumpkin land use type were significantly higher in organic carbon, exchangeable potassium, sodium, and effective cation exchange capacity than the other land use types. Soil quality under Grapevine/Fluted pumpkin was rated best (80 %), whereas soil quality under Tomato/Pepper land use type was the worst (40 %). The soils were low-to-high in quality and had a higher potential to support crop production if management practices that encourage the build-up of nutrients in the soil system were adopted. The application of manure, liming materials, and phosphorus-based fertilisers is advocated.
Leveraging Machine Learning for Fraudulent Social Media Profile Detection
Authors: Ramdas Soorya , Agnes Neenu N. T.
Published: March 2024

Fake social media profiles are responsible for various cyber-attacks, spreading fake news, identity theft, business and payment fraud, abuse, and more. This paper aims to explore the potential of Machine Learning in detecting fake social media profiles by employing various Machine Learning algorithms, including the Dummy Classifier, Support Vector Classifier (SVC), Support Vector Classifier (SVC) kernels, Random Forest classifier, Random Forest Regressor, Decision Tree Classifier, Decision Tree Regressor, MultiLayer Perceptron classifier (MLP), MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) Regressor, Naïve Bayes classifier, and Logistic Regression. For a comprehensive evaluation of the performance and accuracy of different models in detecting fake social media profiles, it is essential to consider confusion matrices, sampling techniques, and various metric calculations. Additionally, incorporating extended computations such as root mean squared error, mean absolute error, mean squared error and cross-validation accuracy can further enhance the overall performance of the models.
Hybrid Edge Detection Methods in Image Steganography for High Embedding Capacity
Authors: Habiban Marwah , Hamade Fatima R. , Mohsin Nadia A.
Published: March 2024

In this research, we propose two new image steganography techniques focusing on increasing image-embedding capacity. The methods will encrypt and hide secret information in the edge area. We utilized two hybrid methods for the edge detection of the images. The first method combines the Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) with the wavelet transform algorithm and the second method mixes the LOG and Canny. The Combining was performed using addWeighted. The text message will be encrypted using the GIFT cipher method for further security and low computation. For the effectiveness evaluation of the proposed method, various evaluation metrics were used such as embedding capacity, PSNR, MSE, and SSIM. The obtained results indicate that the proposed method has a greater embedding capacity in comparison with other methods, while still maintaining high levels of imperceptibility in the cover image.
Matrine and icariin can inhibit bovine viral diarrhoea virus replication by promoting type I interferon response in vitro
Authors: Cai Dongjie , Shen Zifan , Tian Bin , Chen Jie , Zhang Yilin , Shen Liuhong , Wang Ya , Ma Xiaoping , Zuo Zhicai
Published: March 2024

Introduction

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) can cause diarrhoea (BVD) in an animal herd, leading to heavy economic losses. There are limited drugs available for treating and controlling BVD. This research aims to investigate the antiviral and immunoregulatory effects of two traditional Chinese herb extracts against BVDV infection. The extracts are matrine and icariin, which have been proved to have immunostimulant and antiviral effects.

Material and Methods

A cell counting kit-8 assay was used to analyse the toxicity of matrine and icariin to Madin–Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells. The model of MDBK cells infected with BVDV was utilised to uncover the antiviral mechanism of matrine and icariin, which along with their immunoregulatory ability was evaluated by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR and ELISA.

Results

The results showed that matrine and icariin can significantly inhibit the gene expression level of the BVDV 5′ untranslated region through various pathways. Both matrine and icariin can statistically upregulate the gene expression level of interferon alpha, interferon beta (IFN-β), toll-like receptor 3, retinoic acid–inducible gene I and interferon regulatory factor 3, and raise the concentration of IFN-β after BVDV infection.

Conclusion

This study proves that both matrine and icariin have inhibitory effects on BVDV replication by activating IFN production and the IFN signalling pathway. The finding is promising and should open up the possibility of larger-scale in vitro research followed by in vivo experiments evaluating matrine and icariin as therapeutic agents in BVD cases.

Authors: Atay Berk , Mutlu Ilven
Published: March 2024

In this study, low Young’s modulus, highly porous Ta-Nb-Sn alloy foam was manufactured by using the space holder method. The aim of this study is development of an alloy with high wear resistance, with Young’s modulus, with good imaging (MRI, CT) properties, and with high bioactivity. Ta alloy foam can be used in spinal applications (intervertebral disc) or dental applications. The space holder method enables the manufacturing of open-cell foam with a low elastic modulus. Powder mixtures were prepared through mechanical alloying. Carbamide was used to form pores. Ta has suitable strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Ta has high price, however, and a high melting temperature, high activity, and high density. Nb addition lowered the melting temperature, elastic modulus, and cost of using Ta. The sinterability of Ta was enhanced by Sn addition. The corrosion behaviour of Ta alloy was examined. Young’s modulus was determined by compression and ultrasonic tests. Tomography and radiography tests were also used.

Published: March 2024

This study investigates the spillover effects of ESG scores from companies operating in the same industry and their impact on stock return volatility. For this purpose, I considered a sample of European listed companies from 2019 to 2022. The results provide evidence of a spillover effect of ESG scores on the ESG ratings of other companies belonging to the same industry. Furthermore, I observed direct spillover effects of the individual Environmental, Social and Governance pillars, with similar magnitudes. I also found that stock return volatility is directly related to ESG scores, including spillover effects.

Authors: Karpova Evgenija , Belogurova Raisa
Published: March 2024

The article is focused on the current state of biodiversity in the aquatic environment of the Utrish Nature Reserve. Implementation of the multi-level monitoring program for fish and crustacean fauna, conducted in the waters of the Utrish Nature Reserve during the period 2016-2018, using classical methods of biological analysis, as well as visual underwater fish counting, allowed us to assess the overall state of biodiversity in this area as sufficiently stable. The population status of the model indicator species, the European black scorpionfish Scorpaena porcus, was also stable during this period, confirming the effectiveness of protective measures in this area. Due to the continued increase in anthropogenic pressure on coastal marine biocenoses, monitoring studies require further continuation.

Published: March 2024

Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) tahun 2019 merilis bahwa penduduk Indonesia kisaran usia 15 hingga 24 tahun yang masih buta aksara yaitu sekitar 0,24 persen. Meskipun angka melek aksara mencapai angka 99,76 persen, namun belum sebanding dengan tingkat aktivitas literasi yang ada di Indonesia sekarang. Hasil Penelitian perangkingan literasi melalui Indeks Literasi Nasional oleh Kemendikbud menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada satu pun provinsi yang masuk dalam kelompok aktivitas literasi tinggi. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah terus meningkatkan indeks literasi nasional melalui program Gerakan Literasi Sekolah (GSL). Pondok pesantren Tgk. Chiek Oemar Diyan merupakan salah satu sekolah yang menjalankan GSL, namun karena keterbatasan pembimbing atau penggerak serta terkendala keuangan pada akhirnya program tersebut tidak berjalan dengan baik. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, penulis ingin merealisasikan keinginan siswa dalam program GSL melalui pelatihan cerpen dengan luaran penerbitan antologi cerita pendek karya santriwan-santriwati pondok pesantren Tgk Chiek Oemar Diyan dan publikasi hasil pengabdian pada jurnal nasional. Adapun tujuan dari pelatihan ini ialah untuk memotivasi siswa agar memiliki kesadaran akan pentingnya baca tulis serta terus bekarya dalam menciptakan karya-karya terbaik guna mendukung program GSL.

Authors: Jaidun
Published: March 2024

Pengawasan pemilihan umum yang dilakukan oleh Badan Pengawas Pemilihan Umum beserta perangkat pengawas di tingkat desa dan kecamatan adalah untuk menjamin terselenggaranya pemilihan umum yang langsung, umum, jujur, bebas dan rahasia. Jika penyelenggaraan pemilu benar-benar dilaksanakan secara bebas, rahasia, jujur, adil, berkualitas dan demokratis, maka sudah barang tentu akan menghasilkan pemimpin bangsa yang berkualitas, berwibawa, transparan, kredibel dan berintegritas. Penyelenggaraan pemilihan umum memiliki keterkaitan yang erat dengan instrumen hukum sebagai alat pengaturan dalam rangka penguatan sistem demokrasi. Hukum dan demokrasi ibarat dua sisi mata uang yang saling membutuhkan dalam sebuah negara demokrasi. Tanpa instrumen hukum sulit untuk mewujudkan pemilu yang adil dan berintegritas. Instrumen hukum dapat mewujudkan keadilan dan integritas peserta pemilu, termasuk penyelenggara pemilu. Instrumen hukum menjamin konsistensi dalam pengaturan pemilu. Artinya, jika tidak ada konsistensi mengenai pengaturan pemilihan umum, maka akan berdampak buruk bagi penyelenggaraan pemilihan umum. Hal ini dapat dimanfaatkan oleh peserta dan penyelenggara pemilihan umum untuk melakukan kecurangan atau melanggar hukum dalam pemilihan umum. Instrumen hukum memberikan kepastian hukum dalam mencegah terjadinya kecurangan dalam pengaturan pemilihan umum. Instrumen hukum dapat menciptakan pemilihan umum yang efektif dan efisien.

Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the approaches of pediatric rheumatologists and pediatric hematologists to patients with similar musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints and to highlight the differences that general pediatricians should consider when referring patients to these specialties.
Methods. This is a cross-sectional study involving the patients who applied to pediatric rheumatology centers with MSK complaints and were diagnosed with malignancy, as well as patients who were followed up in pediatric hematology centers with a malignancy diagnosis, and had MSK complaints at the time of admission.
Results. A total of 142 patients were enrolled in the study. Of these patients, 83 (58.4%) applied to pediatric rheumatology centers, and 59 (41.6%) applied to pediatric hematology centers. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was the most common diagnosis among the patients who applied to both centers, with 80 cases (56.3%). The median age of diagnosis was 87 (interquartile range, IQR: 48-140) months. The most common preliminary diagnosis in pediatric rheumatology centers was juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), with 37 cases (44.5%). MSK involvement was mainly seen as arthralgia, and bone pain. While arthralgia (92.7%) was the most common complaint in rheumatology centers, bone pain (88.1%) was more common in hematology centers. The most frequently involved joints were the knee (62.9%), ankle (25.9%), hip (25%), and wrist (14%). The most common laboratory abnormalities were high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), high C-reactive protein (CRP), anemia, and high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and high LDH were statistically significantly more frequent in patients admitted to hematology centers than in patients admitted to rheumatology centers (p<0.001, p=0.014, p=0.028, respectively). Patients who applied to rheumatology clinics were found to have statistically significantly higher CRP levels (p=0.032).
Conclusions. Malignancies may present with only MSK system complaints in childhood. Therefore, malignancies should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with MSK complaints.

Background. Overdose with calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) still maintain their importance with a high lethality rate after exposure. We report the intravenous lipid emulsion therapy (ILE) therapy in our CCB overdose patients.
Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the records of 6 patients with CCB intoxication from Batman Training and Research Hospital PICU between March 2021 and September 2022. Patients aged 0-18 years who received ILE treatment for CCB poisoning were included.
Results. All six patients ingested CCB with the intention of committing suicide and were followed up in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). All patients received ILE therapy due to hemodynamic instability despite intravenous fluid boluses, calcium, glucagon, insulin-dextrose, and vasoactive agents. Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) decreased after ILE treatment. All patients were transferred from the PICU after recovery.
Conclusions. ILE therapy should be kept in mind as a salvage therapy in hemodynamically unstable CCB poisoning cases that do not respond to initial and advanced options.

Background. Intensive multimodal treatment can improve survival in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma, and consolidative radiation therapy has contributed to local control. We examined the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent consolidative radiation therapy at our institution.
Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma who underwent consolidative radiation therapy from March 2001 to March 2021 at Asan Medical Center. Patients underwent multimodal treatment including high-dose chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplantation, and maintenance therapy. Radiation (median, 21.0 Gy; range, 14–36) was administered to the primary site and surrounding lymph nodes.
Results. This study included 37 patients, and the median age at diagnosis was 2.8 years (range, 1.3–10.0). Four patients exhibited local failure, and 5-year free-from locoregional failure rate was 88.7%, with a median follow-up period of 5.7 years. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 59.1% and 83.6%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that patients with neuron-specific enolase levels >100 ng/mL had significantly worse DFS and OS (P = 0.036, 0.048), and patients with no residual disease before radiation therapy showed superior OS (P = 0.029). Furthermore, patients with 11q deletion or 17q gain exhibited poor DFS and OS, respectively (P = 0.021, 0.011). Six patients experienced grade 1 acute toxicity. Late toxicity was confirmed in children with long-term survival, predominantly hypothyroidism and hypogonadism, typically < grade 3, possibly attributed to combination treatment. Four patients experienced late toxicity ≥ grade 3 with chronic kidney disease, growth hormone abnormality, ileus, premature epiphyseal closure, and secondary tumor, and recovered by hospitalization or surgical treatment.
Conclusions. In patients with high-risk neuroblastoma, consolidative radiotherapy to the primary tumor site resulted in excellent local control and a tolerable safety profile.

Classical clinical triad of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury associated with endothelial cell injury. Several situations, including infections, medications, malignancies, and transplantation can trigger endothelial damage. On the HUS spectrum, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) deserves special attention in pediatric patients, as it can cause end-stage kidney disease and mortality. A dysfunction in the alternative complement pathway, either acquired or genetic, has been shown to be the main underlying cause. In the last decades, breathtaking advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of this rare disease, which has led to more efficient treatment. Recent studies have implicated genes in pathways beyond the alternative complement system, such as DGKE, TSEN2, and INF2 highlighting the importance of personalized management. Eculizumab has brought about dramatic improvements in the treatment of aHUS. Beyond eculizumab, there are many alternative therapeutics in the pipeline that target the complement system. Because of the rarity of aHUS, data from multiple patient registries are very important. The present report aimed to summarize the most important aspects of diagnosing and treating aHUS based on the Turkish national registry and the literature so as to improve clinical practice.

Background. When mother’s own milk (MOM) is unavailable or insufficient, donor milk (DM) from a human milk bank serves as an alternative feeding option. Our study sought to investigate and compare the outcomes and complications of very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants who receive MOM versus DM.
Methods. In this retrospective cohort study conducted between 2018 and 2022, we compared 70 VLBW preterm infants exclusively fed with DM to 70 randomly selected counterparts fed with MOM. Both groups began enteral feeding within 72 hours of birth. Various clinical outcomes were investigated during a three-month follow-up. The clinical outcomes were compared via independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U, and Fisher’s exact test.
Results. The mean gestational age of the infants who were included was 29.6 ± 1.6 weeks, 84 (60%) were males, and the average birth weight was 1217 ± 151 grams. Both groups had similar baseline characteristics. The results of the study demonstrated no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of hospital length of stay (37±16.3 days in MOM vs 40.3±16.9 days in DM group, P= 0.17), growth rate (13±4 gram/day in MOM vs 13±4 gram/day in DM group, P=0.51), growth velocity (9.8±3.0g/kg/d in MOM vs 9.5±3.2 g/kg/d in DM group), infants with in-hospital vomiting (51 cases in MOM vs 59 cases in DM group, P=0.15),vomiting frequency (1.3±1.1 times in MOM vs 1.5±1.0 times in DM group), incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (4 cases in MOM vs 5 cases in DM group, P>0.999) and incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (7 cases in MOM vs 6 cases in DM group, P>0.999).
Conclusion. Our study findings indicate that the utilization of DM didn’t have a substantial negative impact on infants’ outcomes nor any complications in comparison with MOM.
