Published: January 2022

Dhamira ya makala haya ni kuonyesha sheria zinazozingatiwa wakati wa kuambisha viangami katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Viangami ni mofimu zinazojisimamia kisintaksia lakini kifonolojia ni tegemezi. Uchunguzi huu umeongozwa na nadharia Boreshaji. Kwa mujibu wa Nadharia Boreshaji, lugha yoyote ile ulimwenguni ina maumbo ya ndani na maumbo ya nje (Prince na Smolensky,1993). Maumbo haya hutumika kuzalisha maumbo tokeo tofauti. Umbo la nje hutokea baada ya umbo la ndani kubadilishwa. Data iliyotumika katika utafiti huu ilipatikana maktabani. Vitabu mbalimbali vya kisarufi na isimu vilitumika. Usampulishaji wa kimakusudi ulitumika. Vitabu vilivyochapishwa kwa lugha ya Kiswahili viliteuliwa kimakusudi. Vitabu hivi ni pamoja na riwaya, tamthilia, mashairi na vitabu vya kiada. Data ilikusanywa kwa mbinu ya kusoma na kunukuu. Matokeo ya utafiti yaliwasilishwa kwa njia ya maelezo na majedwali. Baada ya utafiti, imebainika kuwa shughuli ya kuambisha vipashio vya kisarufi hufanywa kwa uangalifu mkubwa sana. Data iliyopatikana inaweka wazi uambishaji wa viangami katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Utafiti huu utawafaa walimu, wanafunzi na wataalamu wa isimu. Pia waandishi wa kazi za isimu na fasihi watafaidika.
Analysis of Stability of a Plasma in Porous Medium
Authors: Kumar Pardeep
Published: January 2022

The thermal convection of a plasma in porous medium is investigated in the presence of finite Larmor radius (FLR) and Hall effects. Following linear stability theory and normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation is obtained. It is found that the presence of a magnetic field (and hence the presence of FLR and Hall effects) introduces oscillatory modes in the system which were, otherwise, non-existent in their absence. When the instability sets in as stationary convection, the FLR may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect, but a completely stabilizing one for a certain wave-number range. Similarly, the Hall currents may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect but a completely stabilizing one for the same wave-number range under certain condition, whereas the medium permeability always has a destabilizing effect for stationary convection. Also it is found that the system is stable for 𝑔𝛼𝜅 𝜈𝛽 ≤ 27𝜋 4 4 and under the condition 𝑔𝛼𝜅 𝜈𝛽 > 27𝜋 4 4 , the system becomes unstable.

Authors: El-Sayed Mostafa , Huzayyin Ahmed , Mahgoub Abdelmomen , Abulzahab Essam
Published: January 2022

The prevalence rate of photovoltaics (PV)-based generation systems has increased by more than 15 folds in the last decade, putting it on the top compared to any other power generation system from the expandability point of view. A portion of this huge expansion serves to energize standalone remote areas. Seeking improvements from different aspects of PV systems has been the focus of many studies. In the track of these improvements, parallel MPPT configuration for PV standalone systems have been introduced in the literature as an alternative to a series configuration to improve the overall efficiency of standalone PV systems. However, this efficiency improvement of the parallel MPPT configuration over the series one is not valid for any standalone application, therefore an assessment procedure is required to determine the most efficient MPPT configuration for different standalone applications. Therefore, in this study, an assessment procedure of parallel MPPT is conducted to demonstrate the suitability of utilizing such a configuration compared to series one, based on load daytime energy contributions. This assessment will help PV system designers to determine which MPPT configuration should be selected for applications under study. Furthermore, a new utilization of parallel MPPT configuration is introduced for operating universal input power supply (UIPS) loads to eliminate the inverter stage, thereby increasing the overall system efficiency and reliability. Finally, a systematic procedure to size the complete system is introduced and reinforced by a sizing example.
A New Biomedical Image Denoising Method Using an Adaptive Multi-resolution Technique
Authors: Satapathy Lalit Mohan , Das Pranati
Published: January 2022

In the world of digital image processing, image denoising plays a vital role, where the primary objective was to distinguish between a clean and a noisy image. However, it was not a simple task. As a consequence of everyone's understanding of the practical challenge, a variety of methods have been presented during the last few years. Of those, wavelet transformer-based approaches were the most common. But wavelet-based methods have their own limitations in image processing applications like shift sensitivity, poor directionality, and lack of phase information, and they also face difficulties in defining the threshold parameters. As a result, this study provides an image de-noising approach based on Bi-dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (BEMD). This project's main purpose is to disintegrate noisy images based on their frequency and construct a hybrid algorithm that uses existing de-noising techniques. This approach decomposes the noisy picture into numerous IMFs with residue, which were subsequently filtered independently based on their specific properties. To quantify the success of the proposed technique, a comprehensive analysis of the experimental results of the benchmark test images was conducted using several performance measurement matrices. The reconstructed image was found to be more accurate and pleasant to the eye, outperforming state-of-the-art denoising approaches in terms of PSNR, MSE, and SSIM.
Generalized Methodology Application for System Design
Authors: Zemliak Alexander
Published: January 2022

The design process for analogue circuit design is formulated on the basis of the optimum control theory. The artificially introduced special control vector is defined for the redistribution of computational costs between network analysis and parametric optimization. This redistribution minimizes computer time. The problem of the minimal-time network design can be formulated in this case as a classical problem of the optimal control for some functional minimization. There is a principal difference between the new approach and before elaborated methodology. This difference is based on a higher level of the problem generalization. In this case the structural basis of design strategies is more complete and this circumstance gives possibility to obtain a great value of computer time gain. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and prospects of a more generalized approach to circuit optimization. This approach generalizes the design process and generates an infinite number of the different design strategies that will serve as the structural basis for the minimal time algorithm construction. This paper is advocated to electronic systems built with transistors. The main equations for the system design process were elaborated.

Authors: Bora Nikhil , Gutta Sreedevi , Hadaegh Ahmad
Published: January 2022

Heart Disease has become one of the most leading cause of the death on the planet and it has become most life-threatening disease. The early prediction of the heart disease will help in reducing death rate. Predicting Heart Disease has become one of the most difficult challenges in the medical sector in recent years. As per recent statistics, about one person dies from heart disease every minute. In the realm of healthcare, a massive amount of data was discovered for which the data-science is critical for analyzing this massive amount of data. This paper proposes heart disease prediction using different machine-learning algorithms like logistic regression, naïve bayes, support vector machine, k nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest, extreme gradient boost, etc. These machine learning algorithm techniques we used to predict likelihood of person getting heart disease on the basis of features (such as cholesterol, blood pressure, age, sex, etc. which were extracted from the datasets. In our research we used two separate datasets. The first heart disease dataset we used was collected from very famous UCI machine learning repository which has 303 record instances with 14 different attributes (13 features and one target) and the second dataset that we used was collected from Kaggle website which contained 1190 patient’s record instances with 11 features and one target. This dataset is a combination of 5 popular datasets for heart disease. This study compares the accuracy of various machine learning techniques. In our research, for the first dataset we got the highest accuracy of 92% by Support Vector Machine (SVM). And for the second dataset, Random Forest gave us the highest accuracy of 94.12%. Then, we combined both the datasets which we used in our research for which we got the highest accuracy of 93.31% using Random Forest.
Genetic Bases of VitaminB12 Deficiency: Impact of MTHFR, TCN-II and GIF Polymorphisms on Vitamin B12 Level
Authors: Al Zoubi Mazhar Salim
Published: January 2022

Vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with serious health problems such as neurological disorders. In Jordan, few studies have evaluated the level of vitamin B21 in the Jordanian population with different prevalence. Genetic predisposition, lifestyle, environment, socioeconomic status, and geographic have been linked to vitamin B12 deficiency. Polymorphisms in the GIF, MTHFR, and Transcobalamins, have been proposed to be associated with the level of vitamin B12. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of certain polymorphisms in MTHFR, TCN-II and GIF genes on the level of vitamin B12 in the Jordanian population. Polymorphic sites of the MTHFR (c.677 C>T, rs1801133 and c.1286A>C, rs1801131), TCN2-776C>G (Arg259Pro) (rs1801198) and GIF-68 A>G (Q5R) genes were analyzed by RFLP and DNA sequencing in a group of vitamin B12 deficient individuals (n = 100). The control group included 100 matching individuals with a normal level of vitamin B12 (>200 ng/mL). Our results showed a significant association between the homologous variant of the TCN2 gene (G776G) and MTHFR c.677C>T genes and vitamin B12 deficiency. On the other hand, The MTHFR c.1286A>C variant and GIF variants did not show significant association with vitamin B12 deficiency. This study expounds the association of TCN2 and MTHFR polymorphisms with cobalamin levels in a Jordanian population and highlights the necessity of further studies to elucidate the molecular basis and impact of TCN2, GIF, and MTHFR gene polymorphisms on vitamin B12 deficiency and associated disorders.
Lepidium oblongum (Brassicaceae) appeared on Hungarian
railways: the beginning of a wider European conquest?
Authors: Schmidt Dávid , Mesterházy Attila , Csiky János
Published: January 2022

Lepidium oblongum, of American origin is a new member of the
European adventive flora, only detected in Romania so far. The first Hungarian
stand was discovered in 2018, and others in 2020. Based on our studies, we
detail its morphological characteristics in comparison with other Lepidium species. We present a new
drawing and a table to help identify the species. Lepidium oblongum is easily identifiable by its divided (lobed or
lobed-dentated) upper stem leaves. By analyzing selected climatic parameters we
show that the new European habitats are found in the drier and cooler summer
subtype of the humid continental climate belt. In Hungary, it spreads directly
along the railways. The establishment of individual populations can be
influenced by the location of cargo unloading and the movement of railway
workers. Lepidium oblongum occupies
gravelly, sun-exposed habitats along Hungarian railway tracks such as loading
platforms, guardhouses and goods stations. Based on its high stress and
climatic tolerance and initial spread-rate, it is consider to be a naturalized
member of the European adventive flora, that could be potentially invasive
along the European railways.

Published: January 2022

The salinity of the soil and irrigation water is
one of the great challenges of agriculture. Salinity can have harmful effects
on physiological processes and plant growth, including Tropaeolum majus L. (Tropaeolaceae). The application of
phytohormones can be a strategy to mitigate these effects. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the application of jasmonic acid, salicylic acid,
cytokinin and polyamine as attenuators of salt stress in T. majus. Three
levels of salt stress were used: 0 mM NaCl (no stress), 50 mM NaCl (moderate
stress) and 100 mM NaCl (severe stress). Four phytohormones and a control
treatment were used: control (deionized water), jasmonic acid (200 µM),
salicylic acid (2 mM), cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine – 10 µM) and polyamine
(spermine – 1 mM). Growth and gas exchange parameters were evaluated. Applied
in conditions of moderate salt stress, all the phytohormones were
efficient in improving plant height and
leaf area (except salicylic acid); cytokinin and polyamine improved the number of flowers
as well as gs, A and iCE; jasmonic acid improved the stem dry mass and
total dry mass. In relation to
severe salt stress, applications of jasmonic acid and polyamine
were efficient in improving plant height; cytokinin improved leaf dry mass as well as gs, A, E, WUE, iWUE and iCE. The
application of cytokinin, polyamine and jasmonic acid can be used to mitigate
moderate salt stress in T. majus.

Heikentyneeseen työkykyyn yhteydessä olevien tekijöiden selvittäminen on tärkeää pyrittäessä ehkäisemään työelämästä syrjäytymistä ja parantamaan kuntoutuksen suuntaamista. Työkyvyn muutokset ovat 40 vuotta täyttäneillä yleisempiä kuin nuoremmissa ikäryhmissä. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää sosiaalisten resurssien ja psyykkiseen hyvinvointiin liittyvien tekijöiden yhteyttä työkyvyn heikentymiseen Lapissa asuvilla 40–59-vuotiailla henkilöillä. Tiedonkeruu toteutettiin Lapin sairaanhoitopiirissä syksyllä 2012. Postikyselyn otos oli 8200 henkilöä ja vastausprosentti 33. Ikäryhmään 40–59 vuotta kuului vastanneista 959 (vastausprosentti 32). Heikentynyt työkyky määriteltiin työkykypistemäärän avulla (arvo 0–7 asteikolla 0–10). Analyysimenetelmänä oli logistinen regressioanalyysi. Terveys ja työkyky olivat työssä olevilla paremmat ja eläkeläisillä heikommat kuin työttömillä. Psyykkisen hyvinvoinnin ongelmia oli työttömillä ja eläkeläisillä yhtä paljon. Pääasiallinen toiminta, sosiaalinen tuki, psyykkinen roolitoiminta, depressio ja terveydentila olivat tilastollisesti merkitsevästi yhteydessä heikentyneeseen työkykyyn kokonaismallissa, joka sisälsi myös sosiodemografiset taustamuuttujat. Tietoja työkykyä selittävistä tekijöistä voidaan käyttää hyväksi pohdittaessa työkykyä ylläpitävän toiminnan ja kuntoutuksen mahdollisuuksia.

Abstract

Perceived work ability and related factors with middle-aged people living in Lapland

Perceived work ability predicts continuing at work or withdrawal to disability pension. The aim of the study was to investigate the associations of social, psychological and health factors with work ability in persons aged 40-59 years, living in Lapland. The total sample of the study was 8200 persons and the response rate 33. The number of persons aged 40–59 was 959 (response rate 32). A single-item work ability measure (work ability compared with the life time best) was used. With the unemployed, health and work ability were weaker than with those at work and better than with those at pension. Logistic regression analysis was used in determining the associations of social, psychological and health factors with work ability. In the total model, life situation, social support, psychological role functioning, depression and state of health were statistically significant predictors among all respondents, whereas health was the most important predictor among those at work. Information of factors associated with work ability is needed when developing strategies for rehabilitation and maintaining work ability.

Water quality in high Andean rivers is threatened by increased mining activities that affect related ecosystem services. The study's main objective was to evaluate the physicochemical parameters, heavy metals and aquatic macroinvertebrates as indicators of the ecological status of the Tingo River during the dry, transition and rainy seasons. Three monitoring points were established, taking into account the mining intervention in the area. The physicochemical parameters analyzed were flow, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity. The heavy metals analyzed were aluminum, cadmium, copper, iron, magnesium and lead. In addition, with the macroinvertebrate data, the Biotic Index for the rivers of northern Peru (nPeBMWP) was calculated to determine the ecological quality of the headwaters of the Tingo River. In the sources of the Tingo River, changes in spatial dynamics were more noticeable than changes in temporal dynamics. The most critical parameters of the study were flow, pH, electrical conductivity, copper, iron and manganese. On the other hand, both flow and pH were the parameters that correlated the most with the rest of the parameters, finding four correlations for each one. The pH, dissolved oxygen, and lead parameters did not meet the Environmental Quality Standards for Category 4. As for macroinvertebrates, they were only found in the station without mining influence. Three hundred sixty-six individuals were recorded, belonging to 12 families distributed in three classes and seven orders. The most abundant class was Insecta with 99.5% of the total number of individuals, highlighting the order Diptera with 79.5%. According to the nPeBMWP, the ecological quality is generally poor, highlighting the change in rate according to the time of sampling in the season without influence (from fair to poor). All these results were statistically significant (p<0.05). The evaluation of all parameters and macroinvertebrates shows that mining effluents have a significant impact on the headwaters of the Tingo River, eliminating 100% of the macroinvertebrates by altering the physicochemical properties of the water.

Implications of volcanic erratics in Quaternary deposits of North Greenland.
Authors: Funder S. , Larsen O.
Published: January 2022

Erratic boulders, petrographically similar to the volcanics exposed around Kap Washington, are found on islands and along the coast much further to the east. Isotopic measurements on two such boulders show that these volcanic rocks are of the same age as the Kap Washington volcanics. The regional distribution of the erratics supports glacial morphological evidence for a major Weichselian ice flow moving eastwards along the coast of North Greenland.
The Lodin Elv Formation; a Plio-Pleistocene occurrence in Greenland
Authors: W. Feyling-Hanssen R. , Funder S. , Strand Petersen K.
Published: January 2022

A new occurrence of Plio-Pleistocene marine fossiliferous sediments from Jameson Land, East Green­land, is described and named the Lodin Elv Formation. The sedimentary sequence consists of sorted sand and silt overlain by diamicton containing erratic boulders. Both units contain in situ molluscs and foraminiferal assemblages. The sediments occur as an erosional remnant of local distribution, covered by Holocene deltaic sand, and probably rest on Jurassic shale. The thickness is c. 40 metres. The formation is dated faunistically by its foraminiferal faunas, which are correlated with occurrences in the North Sea and on Baffin Island. The suggested age is supported by amino acid analyses of mollusc shells. The Lodin Elv Formation records the earliest known evidence of glaciation and arctic conditions in Greenland in post-Precambrian time.
The distribution of Cu across three basaltic lava flows from the Faeroe Islands
Authors: Jensen Aage
Published: January 2022

The distribution of Cu across lava flows has been investigated by using a combination of several different analytical methods on samples taken along two profiles across each of three flows: one from the lower series, one from the middle series, and one from the upper series of the Faeroe Islands basalts. The profiles comprise 97 samples, all of which have been investigated by X-ray fluorescence analysis, atomic absorption analysis, and microscopic analysis. Furthermore some of the samples have been investigated by microchemical analysis, spectral analysis, and electron microprobe analysis. Spectral analysis has also been carried out on separates from selected samples.
The total amount of Cu present in the samples has been determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis. The amount of Cu lattice-bound in Fe-Ti-oxides, pyroxenes and plagioclases has been determined as the difference between total Cu and Cu values obtained by atomic absorption analysis carried out on solutions obtained by using weak solvents which do not dissolve lattice-bound Cu in minerals not having Cu as a major element. Electron microprobe analysis has shown that the amount of Cu lattice-bound in Fe-Ti-oxides, pyroxenes and plagioclases increases with increasing oxidation, with an abrupt increase coincident with the formation of pseudobrookite. Where pseudobrookite is present most of the Cu is lattice-bound, but where the oxidation during initial cooling has not resulted in the formation of pseudobrookite, most of the Cu ends up loosely held in the rock in the same manner as cations in zeolites, but in many of the samples a smaller part of the Cu forms native copper and Cu-bearing sulphides.

La publicación de artículos científicos sigue una serie de lineamientos que todos los autores deben cumplir. Cada revista tiene sus peculiaridades en cuanto a formato de presentación, pero los principios que rigen el fondo son similares en todo el mundo. La revista de la Federación se ha esforzado en adaptarse a los principios establecidos por grupos internacionales, como el Comité Internacional de Editores de Revistas Médicas, con el propósito de asegurar la calidad de los artículos que son publicados y que representan el rostro de la revista.
 
Sin embargo, uno de los principales problemas con los que se pueden topar los autores es lo que se conoce como sesgo de publicación. Se presenta cuando los resultados del experimento influyen en la decisión de publicar el artículo. Son la razón principal por la cual los autores, principalmente los jóvenes, tienden a preocuparse si los resultados de un estudio se reportan como negativos o no estadísticamente significativos. Es una práctica conocida, impulsada por el deseo de solo publicar artículos que puedan atraer a potenciales nuevos suscriptores o lectores, que, en su momento, usarían estos artículos como fuente de citación, mejorando el factor de impacto de la revista en cuestión. Lo malo de esta práctica, además de lo obvio, es que, sin darse cuenta, alteran el balance de los hallazgos de un tema en particular e insertan un sesgo en favor de la positividad.    
 
Desde la reestructuración de la revista, nos hemos acogido a la iniciativa de Budapest, propuesta por la Open Society Foundation, para ampliar la disponibilidad a nivel mundial de información académica y científica, al permitirle al autor darle acceso gratuito al lector interesado en el fruto de su trabajo. Eso implica no solo publicar artículos con resultados negativos o no significativos, sino apoyar, cuando el tema lo amerita, a autores con investigaciones de interés general, ejecutadas bajo principios éticos estrictos y siguiendo los rigurosos procesos de revisión por pares. Por ese motivo, este número publica un artículo no relacionado con la obstetricia, pero que pensamos, bajo el contexto de la pandemia que todavía nos azota, merece ser publicado.
El conocimiento es poder. Queda en manos de los lectores decidir qué datos le son de utilidad, después de un análisis crítico de la literatura y aplicados a la realidad que nos rodea.

Introduction. To stop SARS-CoV-2 from spreading, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the baseline characteristics of demographic variables, clinical symptoms, and comorbidity so that quarantining and testing protocols can be developed.

Material and methods. A retrospective study was conducted on COVID-19 Laboratory confirmed cases. Data were collected by using kobo toolbox, demographic variables, clinical symptoms, and Comorbidity was considered. Yates-corrected chi2 tests and Multinomial Logistic Regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of factors and their impact on COVID-19 prevalence.

Results. A total of 6302 of which 3536(56.1%) men and 2766 (44%) women with a mean age (±SD) of 44±17.6 years were included within the study.  Clinical symptoms and Comorbidity were significant for both sexes p<0.0001. Multinomial Logistic Regression confirmed that age <55, 3 or more symptoms (OR=1.130 CI95% 1.013-1.261) and 3 or more comorbidities (OR=1.035 Cl95% 0.942-1.137) were a significant risk factor for COVID-19 prevalence in male patients, among women, age 85>/=, 3 or more symptoms (p<0.0001, OR=1.995 CI95% 1.335-2.992) and 3 or more comorbidities (p<0.0001, OR=1.538 Cl95% 1.045-2.640) were significant risk factor for COVID-19 prevalence in females.

Conclusions. Our study suggests that the prevalence of COVID-19 patients and symptoms was higher in men than women. The high prevalence of smoking could have contributed to the high prevalence of COVID-19 among men. Study also suggests that the presence of at least one or combined comorbidities are risk factors of COVID-19 prevalence and a potential risk factor COVID-19 - related outcomes. More efforts should be exercised to protect patients with one or more comorbidities from being exposed to infection.
