Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors in peripheral artery disease: A review of efficacy, safety, and outcomes
Authors: Mohyeldin Moiud , Abuelgasim Ahmed S , Mustafa Ahmed MG
Published: July 2024

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common condition characterized by atherosclerosis in the peripheral arteries, associated with concomitant coronary and cerebrovascular diseases. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are a class of drugs that have shown potential in hypercholesterolemic patients. This review focuses on the efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes of PCSK9 inhibitors in PAD based on the literature indexed by PubMed. Trials such as FOURIER and ODYSSEY demonstrate the efficacy of evolocumab and alirocumab in reducing cardiovascular events, offering a potential treatment option for PAD patients. Safety evaluations from trials show few adverse events, most of which are injection-site reactions, indicating the overall safety profile of PCSK9 inhibitors. Clinical outcomes show a reduction in cardiovascular events, ischemic strokes, and major adverse limb events. However, despite these positive findings, PCSK9 inhibitors are still underutilized in clinical practice, possibly due to a lack of awareness among care providers and cost concerns. Further research is needed to establish the long-term effects and cost-effectiveness of PCSK9 inhibitors in PAD patients.

Authors: Şengül Figen
Published: July 2024

İçinde bulunduğumuz toplumsal yapı kişilik özelliklerimizi, tüketim alışkanlıklarımızı, kendilik algımızı biçimlendirmekte olduğu düşünüldüğünde Osmanlıda tarihsel süreç içerisinde kadının toplumsal yapı içerisinde her dönem konjonktürel koşullara göre farklı konumlandırıldığı görülmektedir. Kadının Osmanlıdan günümüze tarihsel süreç boyunca konumlanışı itibariyle bir tüketim nesnesi ya da süreç öznesi konumuna getirilerek içinde bulunduğu toplumsal yapı tarafından inşa aracı olarak kullanıldığı söylenebilmektedir. Bu inşa Batılı kadın, Cumhuriyet kadını, Modern kadın şeklinde her dönem farklı bir niteliğe bürünerek eklemlenmelerle devam etmektedir. Nitekim kadın farklı nitelikleri bünyesinde barındırmaya ve toplumsal yapıyı bu nitelikler nezdinde temsil et(tiril)meye devam etmektedir. Günümüzde bu temsil ise medya aracılığıyla kitlelere aktarılmaya devam etmektedir. Medyanın sahip olduğu bu inşa gücü kadının bu süreçteki konumu sosyal inşa kuramı nezdinde irdelenerek ve Hayat mecmuası çerçevesinde veriler içerik analizi yapılarak bu verilerde frekans analizi tabloları oluşturulup kelimelerin kullanım sıklığına göre hangi temaların ele alındığı ve bu temalarda kadının konumu irdelenmektedir. Ardından kadın temalı içeriklere söylem analizi yapılarak bu inşa süreci ortaya konulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Bu araştırma ile 1957 ve 1976 yılları arasında magazin haberciliğinin ilk örneği olan Hayat Mecmuası üzerinden kadın kimliğinin bu yıllar içerisinde yaşadığı değişim ve toplumsal roller nezdinde nasıl konumlandırıldığı ele alınarak tarihsel süreçte inşanın toplumsal perspektifte nasıl işlendiği aydınlatılmaya çalışılacaktır. Tanzimat ile birlikte modernleşme hareketlerinin sonucu kadın kimliği inşa süreci cumhuriyet döneminde devam etmektedir. Bu çalışma ile erken cumhuriyet döneminin ardından ilerleyen süreçte bu inşanın nasıl bir seyir izlediği döneminin ilk örneği olan magazin dergisi üzerinden toplumsal rollerin irdelenmesiyle somutlaştırılacaktır. Literatürde hayat mecmuası üzerinden kadın kimliği inşasının ele alındığı bir çalışma bulunmamakla birlikte bu çalışmayla literatürdeki bu açık giderilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Berliner Kunstmatronage: Sammlerinnen und Förderinnen bildender Kunst um 1900
Authors: Augustin Anna-Carolin
Published: July 2024

Um 1900 sammelten und förderten zahlreiche Berlinerinnen bildende Kunst. Mit ihrer Betrachtung dieser Kunstmatronage lässt Anna-Carolin Augustin eine kaum noch bekannte Facette der Kunststadtmetropole Berlin aufscheinen. Um 1900 legten zahlreiche Frauen in Berlin Kunstsammlungen an, förderten Kunstschaffende und verschiedene Kunststile. Das Repertoire reichte von Van-Gogh-Gemälden über japanische Farbholzschnitte bis hin zu Volkskunst-Objekten. Damit leisteten die Frauen einen wichtigen und heute nahezu unbekannten Beitrag zur Genese der Kunstmetropole Berlin. Anna-Carolin Augustin widmet sich diesem Thema an der Schnittstelle von Kunstgeschichte, Elitengeschichte, Geschlechtergeschichte und Jüdischer Geschichte. Anhand von Archivalien, Zeitschriften, Briefwechseln und Tagebüchern breitet sie ein Panorama von Berliner Frauenbiographien, Kunstsammlungen und -stiftungen aus und analysiert die Motive und Funktionen der Kunstmatronage sozial- und kulturhistorisch. So werden parallel die Geschichten von Protagonistinnen mit ganz unterschiedlichen Interessen erzählt; ihre Kunstmatronage war etwa vom Glauben an Emanzipation durch Kunst getragen, stand im Dienst der kulturellen Interessen des imperialistischen Kaiserreiches oder war von individuellem Distinktionsstreben geprägt. Zeitgenossen betrachteten diese Frauen als Mitstreiterinnen oder lukrative Konsumentinnen, häufiger jedoch begegneten sie ihnen mit Abwehr, die mitunter antifeministische und antisemitische Stereotype vereinte.
Antifaschismus und Kalter Krieg: Die Internationale Föderation der Widerstandskämpfer in Nachkriegseuropa
Authors: Becker Maximilian
Published: July 2024

Welche Rolle spielten Überlebende politischer Verfolgung des Nationalsozialismus im Ost-West-Konflikt? Ehemalige Verfolgte des Nationalsozialismus spielten in der Nachkriegszeit eine wichtige politische, soziale und kulturelle Rolle. Es waren vor allem sie – in erster Linie ehemalige politische Häftlinge sowie Angehörige des Widerstands – und ihre zahlreichen Organisationen, die für die Erinnerung an Widerstand und Konzentrationslager, für eine Aufklärung der Öffentlichkeit und besonders der nachwachsenden Generationen, für eine Bestrafung der Täter und für die Rechte der Verfolgten eintraten. Überlebende waren zudem auf beiden Seiten in den Kampagnen des Kalten Krieges engagiert und setzten sich früh mit dem Rechtsextremismus auseinander. Dabei waren sie grenzüberschreitend aktiv und zählten zu den Akteuren mit Verbindungen über den »Eisernen Vorhang«. Maximilian Becker untersucht am Beispiel der kommunistisch dominierten Internationalen Föderation der Widerstandskämpfer (FIR), des bedeutendsten internationalen Verfolgtenverbands mit Mitgliedern aus Ost und West sowie Israel, diese transnationalen Verbindungen und Aktivitäten. Der Einsatz für »Frieden« war dabei zentral und machte die FIR zur Propagandaagentur im Dienste des Ostblocks und zur Vertreterin politischer Interessen Überlebender.

Published: July 2024

Os adolescentes que agora são chamados de "screenagers", preferem estudar, gostam de ler, escrever e interagir com o mundo exterior por meio das telas. Neste contexto, o objetivo geral deste artigo é examinar como a nova geração de screenagers aprende com os métodos existentes do sistema educacional. Os resultados foram alcançados por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura publicada nos últimos quinze anos, coletados de livros, artigos e periódicos nos idiomas inglês e português. Observa-se que, ao lidar com os desafios da educação dessa nova geração, o professor deve usar a tecnologia para aproximar e ajudar os alunos, em vez de os distanciar. Isso significa que o professor deve estar em constante aprendizado e aprimorando seu conhecimento técnico relacionado à sua área de atuação. Conclui-se que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem deve inspirar e servir de exemplo para a classe, assim, a tecnologia também pode ser uma extensão dos espaços educacionais, permitindo novas formas de aprender e facilitando o aprendizado personalizado.

Authors: Kumar. A Ajai , Kumar. B Dr. Pradeep , Abraham Dr. M.P. , Lawrence Shalini
Published: July 2024

Disabled persons living below poverty line are victims of dual disadvantages of disability and poverty which influence each other. Disability along with poverty has its negative effects on employment, health and livelihood earnings. The activity status of the disabled persons is broadly classified into non-economic status and economic status. The first category does not belong to labour force (out of labour force) whereas the second category belongs to labour force (both employed and unemployed). This study has found that in India the number of disabled people in rural area is higher than that in urban area and the number of disabled males is higher than the number of disabled females both in rural area and urban area. It appears that the prevalence of disability varies with age, and there is significant difference between the Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of disabled males and females both in rural and urban area.
Investigating The Leddo, Jayanti and Duan (2019) Revised Prospect Theory Value Function in Argentina
Authors: Leddo John , Duffy Gabriela
Published: July 2024

Prospect Theory (Kahneman and Tversky, 1979) is a highly influential theory that predicts decision making when people are confronted with choices involving gains or losses with different degrees of uncertainty. Prospect Theory argues that people are generally risk averse when it comes to seeking gains and risk seeking when it comes to avoiding losses. Leddo et al. (2019) noted that the original formulation of Prospect Theory did not take into account people’s goals. They argued that people would be willing to take risks to achieve goals but become more risk averse once those goals are achieved, and they would become risk averse when confronted with losses in order to avoid a highly negative outcome but become more risk seeking to negate the negative outcome once that outcome occurred. Leddo et al.’s research confirmed this hypothesis, leading to a revision of Prospect Theory’s value function. The present research investigates whether the same revised value function can predict decisions made by people in other cultures. Accordingly, the present paper investigates whether the Leddo et al. (2019) findings will hold up with people from Argentina, a high-income country with a mixed economic system. In the present study 82 Argentine residents from the ages 15-75 were given scenarios involving sports decisions involving gains or losses above or below defined aspiration and avoidance levels (four scenarios in total with an average of 17 participants per scenario). Results showed that participants demonstrated the same frequency of risk-seeking behaviors for decisions involving losses than those involving gains, inconsistent with the original Kahneman and Tversky (1979) framework and consistent with the revised Leddo et al. (2019) framework. Additionally, participants showed more risk seeking behaviors for decisions involving outcomes below the avoidance and aspiration levels than for decisions involving outcomes above the avoidance and aspiration levels, consistent with the revised Leddo et al. (2019) framework. This held up individually for both gains and losses.
Seismic Analysis of Irregular Building Subjected to Pounding
Authors: Parveen E Hiba , P Jisha
Published: July 2024

Earthquakes have always been a source of great devastation for humanity. With the fast growth of metropolitan cities, land limitation has become a critical issue, resulting in the construction of high-rise buildings very close to each other. Such buildings are prone to seismic pounding. During earthquake, the buildings vibrate out of phase and at rest separation is deficient to accommodate their relative motions. It can be prevented by ensuring safe separation distances between buildings. However, achieving the necessary separations is often not feasible in metropolitan areas due to high land values and limited land availability. Different combinations of 12-storey and 8-storey buildings with varying plan irregularities were considered for the analytical study using ETABS software. The pounding effect depends on building characteristics, ground motion characteristics and soil structure interaction. The parameters like displacement, impact force, and storey shear were determined.
Understanding Hope from Indian Young Adults’ Perspective
Authors: Khanduri Mimansa , Mazumdar Ketoki
Published: July 2024

Despite the long-understood importance of Hope in the lives of individuals, few studies have investigated how Hope is understood from an Indian perspective. Furthermore, the focus on understanding the interpretations and experiences of Hope in the young adult population has been low. The current paper explores the phenomenon of Hope from Indian young adults’ perspective. The sample consisted of 10 participants, who were in the age range of 21 to 22 years and were pursuing their undergraduate or postgraduate studies. The study utilized in-depth interviews to understand the experiences and perspectives of Hope in the participants. Data were analyzed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) which brought forward several themes which focused on the experiences and understanding of Hope, delineating the main features of Hope, its situations, and its cognitive, affective, and behavioral consequences. The study adds literature to the Indian understanding of Hope or conceptualizing Hope from an Indian context and provides an in-depth understanding of the construct. It gives valuable insights into how Hope can be used for stress management and promoting well-being in individuals.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR T cells) are genetically modified cellular immunotherapies approved for standard of care treatment of patients with lymphoma and leukemia worldwide. Here we report the initial activity in Brazilian centers through the collaboration between the Brazilian Cellular Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant Society (SBTMO) and Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR).  A total of 38 patients who received CAR T cells between 2020 and 2023. The median age was 47 years (range 4-77). Indications include Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL; 26 cases; 68%), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL; 9 cases; 24%), and Multiple Myeloma (MM; 3 cases; 8%).  84% (75% - 24 NHL cases and 25% - 8 ALL cases) were commercial.  This report demonstrates the initial implementation of CAR T cells in Brazil among centers that report to the SBTMO/CIBMTR. This infrastructure will assist in further capturing the activity, assessing the outcomes, and complying with regulatory requirements.
Methodology Underlying Indonesian Corporates Decarbonization Evaluator (INCODE)
Authors: Rizki Muhamad , Siddhartha Tatwadhika Rangin , Zain Rezky Khairun , Zuhaira Nada Zharfania , Riyanto Arlieza Raudhah
Published: July 2024

The urgency to significantly decarbonize is increasing with the rising frequency of natural disasters caused by climate change. In 2019, the industrial sector produced more than 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) (Ritchie et al. 2023) and played a crucial role in the reduction of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, due also to substantial cross-sector emission contributions. The reduction of GHG emissions in the industrial sector can be achieved with proper and ambitious decarbonization planning, but formulating decarbonization strategies for the industrial sector is complex due to supply chain activities related to various sectors. Furthermore, the tools currently available are generally not easily accessible and have not integrated emission reduction with the impacts and costs generated. Recognizing this complexity, the Indonesian Corporates Decarbonization Evaluator (INCODE) was developed as an Excel-based tool that is easy to use, accessible, and comprehensive for the development and evaluation of net-zero emission strategies employed by companies involved in the industrial sector. In performing its functions, INCODE consists of two tools, namely the Corporate Greenhouse Gas Inventory Tool for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 (AIGRK) and the Decarbonization Evaluator Tool (AED). These two tools will offer four different features: emissions inventory, emission reduction evaluation, cost evaluation, and impact evaluation.
Microbiota e doenças da tireoide: uma revisão sistemática atualizada
Authors: Rodrigues Emilly Bruna Soares , Pissolato Maria Luisa Ribeiro , Flizikowski Rayanne Timóteo de Sousa
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A relação entre a microbiota intestinal e a função tireoidiana tem emergido como um campo de estudo crucial, dado o impacto da microbiota na saúde geral e na homeostase hormonal. Objetivo: Objetiva-se compreender como a microbiota intestinal influencia a função da tireoide e a patogênese de doenças tireoidianas autoimunes e benignas. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Procede-se à análise de artigos científicos recentes, incluindo estudos como o de Jiang et al. (2022), Docimo et al. (2020), e Frohlich e Wahl (2019), que exploram a interação entre microbiota e tireoide através de metodologias como sequenciamento de 16S rRNA e análises metagenômicas. Resultados e discussão: Observa-se que a disbiose intestinal pode afetar a absorção de micronutrientes essenciais para a função tireoidiana, como o iodo, além de modular a circulação entero-hepática de hormônios tireoidianos. Estudos indicam que a microbiota pode interferir na autoimunidade tireoidiana, possivelmente através de mecanismos de mimetismo molecular e regulação imunológica, promovendo condições como a tireoidite de Hashimoto e a doença de Graves. Além disso, alterações na composição microbiana foram associadas tanto a disfunções tireoidianas quanto a cânceres tireoidianos. Considerações finais: A microbiota intestinal desempenha um papel significativo na regulação da função tireoidiana e na patogênese de doenças tireoidianas. Investigações futuras são necessárias para elucidar os mecanismos específicos dessa interação e desenvolver estratégias terapêuticas baseadas na modulação da microbiota.

Authors: Barros Jordana Rodrigues de , Lacerda Sabrina Enzo Alves e , Souza Luiz Gabriel Pereira de , Morando Victoria Torres Ruas
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A Oftalmopatia de Graves (OG) é uma doença autoimune, caracterizada como consequência do hipertireoidismo da Doença de Graves ou ainda, em menor frequência, relacionada ao eutireoidismo ou hipotireoidismo por doença de Hashimoto. A sua fisiopatologia envolve um depósito excessivo de glicosaminoglicanos, levando à um infiltrado inflamatório e superprodução de citocinas. Consequentemente, a OG gera um edema do tecido orbitário afetando a musculatura extraocular, tecido conjuntivo e adiposo periorbital. A maioria dos pacientes apresentam como quadro clínico a proptose e, mais raro, a diplopia. Objetivo: melhor elucidar a função e, consequentemente, a indicação da radioterapia dentro do tratamento para OG. Materiais/sujeitos e métodos: Para o levantamento das publicações relativas ao tema e análise dos dados foram realizadas buscas na base de dados da Scopus (Elsevier) LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO e Pubmed e na base de dados da Web of Science. Resultados e discussão: É uma doença autoimune e inflamatória que afeta as órbitas, associada ao hipotireoidismo da Doença de Graves (GD), mas pode se manifestar sem o hipertireoidismo. A GO pode anteceder ou coincidir ou suceder o hipertireoidismo. Clinicamente, pode manifestar sintomas, desde uma sensação de “areia no olho” até diplopia grave, quemose intensa, perda da acuidade visual, e até mesmo, proptose. O sintoma inicial é a retração da pálpebra superior. As formas malignas da manifestação dessa doença chegam a 5% dos casos. Considerações finais: A Radioterapia ocular na Oftalmopatia de Graves ainda é uma importante opção terapêutica, tendo sempre avaliação prévia da evolução e característica da doença.

Authors: Alifia
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Character education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah plays a crucial role in shaping students in the modern era. One approach that can be taken is through skill-based learning, which enriches and develops the dimensions of students' characters. This research aims to explore the urgency of skill-based learning in shaping the character of students in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in the modern era.
This study employs qualitative analyses. Participants in the research include Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students as samples, with data collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Data analysis is conducted by comparing the development of students' characters before and after the implementation of skill-based learning.
The research findings indicate that skill-based learning has a positive impact on the development of students' characters. They not only acquire additional skills but also show improvement in aspects such as leadership, cooperation, and resilience.

In the midst of the dynamics of Indonesian education, learning evaluation plays a very important role. Evaluations not only measure student achievement, but also identify effective teaching methods. The success of teaching is not only seen from the learning outcomes achieved by students, but also in terms of the process. To determine the success of learning objectives, an educator needs to carry out learning evaluations. In conducting evaluations, teachers are given the freedom to determine their own form of evaluation used. There are many types of evaluation tools in learning such as multiple choice, essays, matching and many more. The aim of this evaluation is to make it easier for a teacher to carry out a task or achieve a goal effectively and efficiently. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using essays as a learning evaluation. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The technique used in data collection was an interview with one of the 4th grade teachers at MIN 2 Palangka Raya City. The research results show that the use of essays in mathematics subjects in grade 4 is more effective than using other forms of evaluation. Because, students can be invited to think more critically in working on the questions given, so that students can solve them well.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various sectors in Indonesia, including the banking industry. This study aims to compare the financial performance of PT Bank Aceh Syariah before and during the Covid-19 pandemic using the RGEC (Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance, Earnings, Capital) analysis method. Secondary data used in this research were obtained from the financial statements of Bank Aceh Syariah published on the bank's official website. Data analysis was conducted using the independent sample t-test hypothesis testing. The results indicate that there were no significant differences in the ratios of Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) between the periods before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. These findings suggest that Bank Aceh Syariah has been able to maintain its financial performance despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. This study contributes to the understanding of the resilience and adaptability of Islamic banks in the face of economic shocks and highlights the importance of robust risk management and governance practices in ensuring financial stability during times of crisis.
Explaining Neutrinos and Potons
Authors: Kinney Sean
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Not much is known about neutrinos, they appear to be an outlier of the standard model of particles in that they do not appear to interact with known matter as much as all other particles are known to do. But this is just misunderstanding of physics based off of the false notion that general relativity is correct in explaining the universe any more than its math contribution.
Methodology: I will explain exactly what neutrinos and potons are in this paper according to the reasoning of Dynamic Gravity, the only theory of gravity that can accurately calculate gravity, dark energy, and dark matter perfectly with observation with the same equation.
Findings: The most powerful form of a gravity field would be a gravnetic field created by neutrinos in motion as electrons are in electric magnetic fields. Dynamic Gravity once again rises above all other theories in explaining every single aspect of the universe and physics in a way that all other theories can only dream of. Dynamic Gravity does confidently explain almost every single observation ever made in space and on this planet. In the name of science, proceed cautiously and assume nothing is incontrovertible.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Dynamic Gravity recommends that experiments take place to measure the value G for different sources of gravity other then the sole source of Lead, and assuming that all other materials are the same.

The challenges of hunger and inadequate intake of food which hampers the nutritional status of children remains an issue of concern in Nigeria. This study assessed the prevalence of malnutrition among children aged 6-10 years in Umuahia South, Abia State. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the respondents for the study. Two hundred and twenty three (223) children 6-10 years were randomly selected from three community schools in Umuahia South. Structured and validated questionnaires were used in data collection. Data collection included basic characteristics of children, socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the parents. Food habits of the participants, anthropometric characteristics of the children. Data obtained from the study were analyzed using Statistical Package for Service Solution (SPSS) for Windows Version 20. Descriptive statistics, frequency, percentages, Pearson’s correlation, cross tabulation and chi-square were used to examine the relationship between the variables, significance was accepted at p<0.05. Almost all the children (99.6%) were immunized. About half of the households (57.8%) had a size of 4-6 persons. More than one third of the mothers’ had secondary (46.2%) and tertiary (30.9%) education. Most of the households used tap (70.4%) and borehole water (16.1%) as their major source of water. The households used gas (37.7%) and firewood (22.4%) mainly as cooking fuel. Based on the anthropometric status of the children, about 29.6% of the children were stunted, 5.8% were underweight and 2.6% were thin. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the mother’s education, source of water supply, mother’s occupation and underweight in the children. In addition, there was a significant relationship (p<0.05) between mothers’ occupation, source of energy, type of toilet, good health facility and stunting in the children. There was a significant relationship (p<0.05) between mother’s education, source of water supply, source of energy, good health facility, type of housing and BMI-for-age in the children. Socio economic characteristics of the mothers was an important factor in the health and nutritional status of children. There is need for school feeding programs and nutrition education to improve on children’s health and feeding habit.

Authors: Wisdom Egbe Ebiyeritei
Published: July 2024

The effect of temperature variation on the nutritional quality of pap was studied using (AOCS) American Oil Chemists Standard Method. Pap ingredients were purchased from Amassoma ultramodern market, Bayelsa State. A thermometer was used to record an initial temperature of 80°C (Group A), 50°C (Group B) and 25°C a room temperature (Group C). After discarding the water, the cereal grains were carefully and independently cleaned with fresh water. An attrition mill was used to grind the wet grains, and the paste produced was mixed with 1000ml of purified water. A muslin cloth was used to filter the mixture’s slurry. After allowing the filter to stand for a full day, the supernatant was disposed of. In order to allow additional water to drain off, the newly created pap was wrapped inside a muslin cloth and left to stand for the following 12 hours. The proximate composition of the pap was investigated at the varying steeping temperatures. From the result it shows that the proximate composition of pap can vary depending on the steeping temperature used, it shows that the moisture content ranged from 25.51-27-52%, protein ranged from 7.79%-8.15, fibre ranged from 2.16% – 2.24%, lipid content ranged from 8.22%–13.10%, carbohydrate ranged from 48.16% – 50.60% as the steeping temperatures increased from 25-100°C. The study revealed that the steeping temperatures had an impact on the pH, moisture, fiber, and carbohydrate contents of the papa samples, but not on the lipid, protein, mineral, or nitrogen contents, which stayed mostly unchanged. In order to preserve the nutritious value of the food, it is advised that pap be produced and steeped at a lower temperature.
Nonlinear Whole Parapsychology and Its Mathematical-Physical Methods
Authors: Chang Yi-Fang
Published: July 2024

Based on the quantum theory, we first discuss some research of parapsychology, whose experiments indicate possible existence of new other worlds. Panpsychism shows also the existence of mind, psi, etc., except general matter-energy-information. Second, we propose the nonlinear whole parapsychology and its three basic rules. Third, we study some mathematical and physical methods, which include the thought field, quantum parapsychology, etc. Fourth, new spaces of parapsychology and the network model are researched. Fifth, we search a mathematical space with complex manifold—Kahler geometry, which may provide wide perspectives to lucubrate new worlds in parapsychology. Chinese parapsychology can combine rich traditional Chinese culture to display various unique phenomena, but parapsychology must be universal for the world.

In an attempt to contribute to unemployment reduction in the country, Agricultural Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI) implemented Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES) over the years, the study therefore examined the employment and income generation potentials of ARMTI YES. A three-stage sampling procedure was employed to collect data for the study. The first stage was the stratification of the country into different geopolitical zones, the second stage was the purposive selection of two states from each zone, while the third and last stage involved the selection of beneficiaries based on probability proportion to the number of the beneficiaries from each zone. Descriptive Statistics and t-test were used to analyze the data. The result of socioeconomic characteristics showed that beneficiaries of the scheme were male dominated (67.9%), a higher proportion (75.3%) of respondents were married, with a mean age of 38.6±8.2 and household size of 5±4.4. An average household head had 15±1 years of formal education. Supports derived from the scheme included broiler starter pack (64.2%), layer starter pack (17.3%), fish starter pack (12.3%), BoA loan (6.2%), training (100%) stipends (100%) and advisory services (44.4). Some (77.8%) of the beneficiaries were found to have generated between one (1) to six (6) employments while 22.2% of them have not generated any. Beneficiaries were found to have generated income between 105, 000 to 960,000 in one production cycle with a statistically significant mean difference indicating a positive effect of the support of the scheme on the income of the scheme beneficiaries. The study concluded that YES supported the beneficiaries in the areas of broiler, layer and fish starter packs, BoA loans, training, stipend training as well as advisory services. The increase in the beneficiaries’ income is attributed to the support derived from the scheme. It is therefore recommended that there is need to increase budgetary allocation to the scheme so as to accommodate more beneficiaries.
Music and Dance Traditions of Africa: Search for Indigenous Theories and Methods in Research
Authors: Foster Eddison Mawusi
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the theory and methodology of researching, understanding, and appreciating the music and dance traditions of Africa, emphasizing the need for indigenous perspectives. The discourse examined extensive scholarly works and theories related to African music and dance, focusing on contributions from both African and non-African researchers. It addresses misconceptions held by non-African researchers and highlights the contributions of African scholars in rectifying these views. The study underscores the distinction between “geo-Africa,” which focuses on the distribution and material culture of African ethnicities, and “eco-Africa,” which examines the relationship between human activities and the environment. African scholars argue for the importance of their voices in African cultural studies, as they are better positioned to understand and explain their traditions. The study concludes that African voices have significantly advanced the theory and method in this field, promoting a comprehensive and culturally relevant approach to researching, understanding, and appreciating African music and dance.
