Authors: Abbasifard Mitra , Kamiab Zahra , Bazmandegan Gholamreza , Vazirinejad Reza , Nezhadkoorki Fatemeh , Hassanipour Mahsa
Published: May 2023

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that globally affects the elderly, leading to pain and disability. Herbal medications and alternative therapies have demonstrated positive effects on arthritis management. Pistacia vera has traditionally been used for inflammatory conditions and has also shown antinociceptive effects. Objectives: Given the limited available scientific evidence, our randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the potential protective role of topical P. vera seed oil preparation in patients with knee OA. Methods: A total of 89 patients with knee OA (n = 89) were randomly allocated into three groups: Placebo, piroxicam, and P. vera. The topical formulations were administered twice daily over a period of three months. Pain level, patient health status, and performance were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: The application of P. vera ointment demonstrated pain reduction in patients, as indicated by VAS and WOMAC assessments. Additionally, WOMAC scores showed that P. vera ointment alleviated motion stiffness and improved activity difficulties in patients (P < 0.001). In certain parameters, the topical application of P. vera showed greater effectiveness in treating knee OA than piroxicam (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Pistacia vera ointment shows promise as a potential therapeutic option for osteoarthritis, effectively addressing the detrimental effects of the disease. Further experimental and clinical studies are warranted to elucidate its efficacy and safety profile.

Spotlight: Social & Emotional Learnin
Authors: Green Crystal , García-Millán Clara
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has renewed a global discussion of the importance of schools and teachers for supporting children social and emotional learning. Policymakers, school administrators, and teachers are working to reconceptualise approaches to teaching and learning that help students develop skills for setting goals, managing behaviour, and building relationships, within and beyond the classroom. In order for education systems to truly develop the broad set of competencies young people need to thrive socially, academically, and professionally, students need to develop a range of social and emotional skills. Social and emotional skills help us to handle our impulses, manage and speak about emotions, and build healthy relationships. After the mass trauma caused by the pandemic, we all need these skills more than ever. But how can we increase social and emotional skills in children throughout the globe in a systematic way? HundrED and The LEGO Foundation have partnered in this Spotlight project to identify impactful and scalable solutions that help parents and educators support the development of children’s social and emotional skills.

The research question is shaped on the axis of how the current state of azulejo applications is positioned in terms of design and technique and how it can be carried to the future. The aim is to provide a framework for the follow-up, mapping and strategy development steps necessary for the preservation and development of azulejos practices. In this context, a brief history of glazed ceramics, related restoration perspectives and views on how these techniques can be carried into the future are discussed with a common view. The scope consists of the steps of façade identity developed through azulejos, current studies to improve material properties, mathematics and discourse in azulejo applications, and evaluation of near future potentials. The method of the study is based on the comparison of the data obtained through the literature review on these topics. The findings were shaped on the axis of the importance of systematizing the studies. In addition to extending azulejo applications to areas such as engraving and iconography work, a base must be created that will allow researchers to leverage larger structures and broader projects on a collaborative basis. The use of contemporary modeling techniques, the application of contemporary mapping methods, the use of high-quality images will allow this design heritage to be recognized by the masses and to be carried into the future as one of the most important parts of the urban identity.

Protected Areas and Rural Livelihood: An overview of the Mediating role of Wildlife Tourism
Authors: Mgonja John Thomas
Published: May 2023

The present study contributes to the body of knowledge in protected areas conservation by exploring the role of nature based tourism in strengthening the relationship between protected areas and rural community. The paper draws largely from Sustainable Livelihood Framework. The study was carried out by analyzing peer-reviewed literature from published sources such as books, journal articles, conference proceedings and published documents from major international and national organisations. The analysis shows that majority of the scholars agree that benefits arising from protected areas tend to accrue largely to the international community, national governments and the private sector in the form of revenues from nature based tourism, while a large amount of conservation costs are borne by local communities living adjacent to protected areas. Without receiving significant benefits from tourism, local communities will continue to view wildlife as a threat to their livelihoods and develop resentments against conservation of protected areas

Machine learning models for predicting decisions to be made by small scale dairy farmers in Eastern Africa
Authors:   , Mwanga Gladness George
Published: May 2023

In dairy, lack of decision support tools for identifying farmers' needs and demands have caused many programs, strategies, and projects to fail. This has led to the inefficient and fragmented allocation of scarce development resources. This study demonstrated how machine learning (ML) can be used as a tool to bridge this gap; by developing ML models to be used in identifying factors that can influence farmers decisions, predicting decision to be made by a farmer and forecast on farmers demands regarding to their specific need or service. Four countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were selected for this study. In the course of the study four models were developed one for each country with regard to the usage of animal supplements, keeping of exotic animals, use of Artificial insemination (AI) as breeding methods and animal milk productivity. Data was collected through face to face interviews, from a total of 16 308 small scale dairy farmers in Ethiopia (n = 4679), Kenya (n = 5278), Tanzania (3500) and Uganda (n = 2851). The decision tree algorithm was used to model categorical problems (use of supplement and breeding decision), which attained the accuracy of 78%-90%. Moreover, K-nearest neighbor was employed for numeric problems (keeping of exotic animals and animal milk productivity) with an accuracy of 0.78-0.96 Adjusted R The use of ML techniques assisted in classifying farmers based on their characteristics and it was possible to identify the key factors that can be taken then prioritized to improve the dairy sector among countries. Also, the results of this study offer a number of practical implications for the dairy industry where the proposed ML models can enable decision-makers in developing the National Dairy Master Plan and design policies that promote the growth of smallholder dairy farming. Moreover, these models shade light to potential service providers and investors who want to invest in dairy to identify potential areas or groups of farmers to focus with. 2 value.

Published: May 2023

Attitudes held with certainty may serve as powerful determinants of relevant political behavior, such as voting. Despite a large body of research in attitude certainty, minimal work has explored two of its distinct components: attitude correctness and attitude clarity. This study investigated how parasocial interaction (PSI) with former President Trump influences perceived correctness and clarity of attitudes toward him.

 

Over 400 Amazon MTurk workers completed a survey. Data revealed the more participants engaged in PSI with Trump, the more they reported having negative attitudes toward him. PSI with Trump also predicted perceived attitude correctness and attitude clarity. Analysis suggested as participants engaged in cognitive activities such as evaluation and observation, perceived attitude correctness and clarity toward Trump became stronger. Conversely, as participants experienced positive affect toward Trump, perceived attitude correctness and clarity weakened. Behavioral PSI responses, although not the strongest influence, predicted perceived correctness but not attitude clarity.

New Algorithm for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (V2V-ADAS) to Prevent Collisions
Authors: Mahmoud Ahmed , Shaaban Khaled , Salama Mohammed
Published: May 2023

With the rise in traffic and stress levels among drivers, driving has become increasingly dangerous. As a result, it is essential to implement systems that can prevent collisions to ensure safer and more efficient journeys on the road. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (V2V-ADAS) that uses cooperative systems with vehicular communication technologies expected to become mandatory installations in cars. The proposed algorithm specifically focuses on detecting forward collisions and calculating current breaking distances to identify potential collisions. Upon detection of hazardous road conditions, the ADAS technology immediately alerts the driver and can even take action, such as slowing or stopping the vehicle if necessary. By utilizing modern technology to enhance safety on the roads, this innovative approach to V2V-ADAS has great potential to reduce accidents significantly. In conclusion, developing advanced technology like V2V-ADAS is crucial for providing safer and more efficient driving experiences. The proposed algorithm offers a promising solution to the growing problem of collisions on our roads and has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach road safety.

It is to be believed that right amount of saving through rational financial decisions will boost economic growth and thus further strengthening the economy. The financial literacy covers various dimensions like financial attitude, financial knowledge, social influence, and financial behaviour. In Present study, authors have studied the influence of financial attitude, financial knowledge, and social influence on financial behaviour among professional women of different cities of India. The sample size of 200 working professional from various public and private organizations has been incorporated for the research. A structured questionnaire designed on a 5-point Likert scale has been used and the homogeneity of items and the acceptance of reliability is confirmed by KMO and bartlett’s test. For, further analysis, EFA has been used for determine factor loading of the variables. The relationship between the independent variables and dependent variables are determined by the correlation analysis. The findings revealed that social influence have good association whereas financial knowledge and financial attitude having positive with weak correlation of with financial behaviour among women working professional.

This study examined virtual learning acceptance among Higher Learning Institutions' lecturers using the UTAUT theory approach, notably the Institute of Accountancy Arusha and the Institute of Finance Management. A descriptive research design was used in this study, and a convenient sampling technique was employed. Both primary and secondary data were used in the data collection exercise. The data collected was processed and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Findings revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence positively affect behavioural intention. HLI's lecturers accept virtual learning. The results revealed that facilitating conditions positively affect user behaviour to accept virtual learning. The findings of this study showed that behavioural intention positively affects user behaviour when taking virtual learning. This study recommends that future studies be designed to compare and contrast the predictive power of the different competing theories, such as the theory of planned behaviour, the technology acceptance model, the theory of reasoned action, and the diffusion of innovation theory.

Published: May 2023

Se informa sobre el ataque de una plaga defoliadora del pasto Pennisetum purpureum, variedad CT-115, establecido en áreas de la Universidad Estatal Amazónica en Puyo, Pastaza, Ecuador. La larva es una especie no identificada de Noctuidae (Lepidoptera). En condiciones de laboratorio se evaluó de la tasa diaria de defoliación del complejo larval. Las larvas tuvieron un promedio de consumo foliar de 30718,34 mm2, alcanzando defoliaciones diarias máximas de 43750 mm2 del pasto. El ataque del complejo larval representa un peligro potencial para la disponibilidad de pastos en los sistemas de fincas ganaderas en la región, y sugieren la necesidad de establecer programas de manejo integrado de plagas que reduzcan las pérdidas económicas que pueden ocasionar estos insectos noctuidos.

Se analizaron resultados obtenidos en el Centro de Estudios Biotecnológicos de la Universidad de Matanzas, Cuba (CEBIO) en el desarrollo de probióticos a partir de materias primas nacionales residuales o subproductos. Se presentan los resultados con dos de estos productos: uno a partir de un cultivo de Bacillus subtilis y otro a partir de un cultivo de Lactobacillus salivarius, los que se evaluaron mediante un diseño experimental completamente aleatorizado con 300 pollos y 3 tratamientos: grupo control, grupo con cultivo de B. subtilis y grupo con cultivo de L. salivarius. Se estudiaron los indicadores peso promedio, ganancia de peso, índice de conversión, viabilidad, peso de la canal y relación peso de la canal/peso vivo. Los mejores resultados fueron alcanzados con el cultivo de L. salivarius (p<0.05). Estos resultados, demuestran que es posible, en las condiciones actuales de Cuba, desarrollar productos alternativos que permitan sustituir a los antibióticos promotores del crecimiento como aditivos alimentarios en la producción animal.
Implementation of Blog-Based Learning Media: Community Service for Elementary School Teachers

Published: May 2023

Elementary schools in Driyorejo Gresiks consist of 11 private elementary schools and 26 public elementary schools. The location of the school is mostly located in rural areas and most teachers are rarely involved in scientific activities carried out by universities, so that the knowledge and understanding of teachers is still not related to learning media or other learning innovations. The results of interviews obtained from several teachers in public and private elementary schools at UPTD Driyorejo, Gresik Regency obtained information that some teachers almost never use blog-based  learning media  because the media does not exist and the ability of teachers to develop it is also lacking. This has an impact on the implementation of learning activities that take place less meaningfully and tend to be rote in nature. The use of blog-based  learning  is expected to increase teacher innovation, motivate, and increase student achievement optimally.  Community service is carried out by conducting training on the implementation of blog-based learning  media.  The training implementation stage is carried out in two sessions.  The first session explained the  blog-based learning media material. Second session of  training iimplementation of blog-based learning media for elementary school teachers in Driyorejo Gresik.

The aim of this study is to test the adaptability and performance of some old Romanian and foreign spring wheat genotypes to actual changing climatic conditions for identification of valuable germoplasm as parental genotypes. Twenty-two spring wheat genotypes were evaluated over three experimental years for main grain yield components, yield quality indices and their ability to capitalize as efficiently as possible on the applied fertilizer. Based on the analyzed traits, genotypes could be highlighted for each of desired morpho-productive and quality traits. Grain yield, as a complex trait which include main yield components, had ranged from 3.64 at Brome to 4.36 t ha-1 at Lona variety. Regarding the quality indices, Marcius variety had the highest protein content (14.1%) while for wet gluten content were emphasized Lona and Corso varieties with-31.2%.

Understanding yield-limiting traits can help researchers reduce yield gap, a key step in increasing yield and sustainability. This aim of research was monitoring 100 fields of farmers to identify the most important variables to enter into a CPA model (comparative performance analysis) for the yield gap in northern Iran in 2016 to 2017. Of the 150 variables studied in the first experiment, eight independent variables were chosen for the final model. In the yield model, the average and maximum yields were 2536 and 4265 kg ha-1 , respectively, with an estimated yield gap of 1729 kg ha-1 . This yield gap was related to seed usage, planting date, fallow and rice cover-crop equal’s 124, 101, 242 and 245 kg ha-1 includes 7.17, 5.84, 14 and 14.17% of total yield increase. The yield increasing related to the effect of crop rotation, potassium usage, nitrogen after flowering and top-dressing frequency was 212, 295, 314 and 196 kg ha-1 equals 12.26, 17.06, 18.16 and 11.34%. Accordingly, the model’s precision is good and can be applied both to estimate the quantity of yield gap and to determine the portion of each constraint in the yield variables. Importantly, as the calculated yield potential is reached based on actual data in each paddy field, the yield potential is attainable.

To cope with the new conditions generated by climate change, a key objective of today's agriculture would be to promote the use of natural fertilization systems for both organic matter restoration, agro-ecosystem stability, biodiversity conservation, pollution limitation, sustainable use of natural resources, increasing productivity and the quality of agricultural products intended for human consumption. In this context, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of natural fertilization with green fertilizers on the productivity and quality of flax seeds, as an alternative to replacing or reducing the amounts of mineral fertilizers used. The study was conducted during 2017-2019 at the Sibiu Variety Testing Center, on 6 flax varieties for oil in 4 fertilization variants. The results obtained in the experiment showed a different behavior of the flax varieties analyzed, depending on the genotype and environmental conditions both in terms of quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The most productive genotype was the Cristina variety, with superior yield compared to control Lirina, for three experimental years and fertilization variants. The seed production was influenced by the type of fertilization, the non-fertilized variant registering a deficit of 300-400 kg/ha compared to mineral fertilized variants. The fertilization with green fertilizers determined the realization of similar productions to those obtained after applying mineral fertilization. Also in terms of the amount of oil/ha again the Cristina variety had an increase of over 5% compared to the control Lirina, in all fertilization variants. All six flax genotypes analyzed respond quite favorably to the application of green manures and can certainly be integrated into a system of sustainable agriculture, ecological, organic.
