The growth and nutrient uptakes of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis var. Flavicarpa) seedlings in response to organic fertiliser application under tropical conditions
Authors: Joseph-Adekunle Tunrayo , Fagbayide Julius , Olubode Olusegun
Published: July 2022

Passion fruit is valued for its intense flavoured juice used in juice mixes.
Though cultivation is prominent in many tropical regions, it is a new crop
in southwest Nigeria regardless of the favourable ecology. New crop
establishment depends on meeting the nutrient requirements, among other
growth resources. Two experiments were conducted at Abeokuta to evaluate the
optimum rate(s) of Sunshine Organic Fertilizer? (SOF) required for the
growth of the seedlings. The SOF was applied at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and
2.5 t/ha in experiments arranged in Completely Randomised Design (CRD)
replicated thrice. The application of SOF improved the growth of seedlings,
but a rate above 2.0 t/ha resulted in depressed growth. In experiment 1, the
application of 0.5 t/ha SOF gave the highest values of 152.7 cm, 19 mm and
19.0 for vine length, vine diameter and the number of leaves. In experiment
2, the number of leaves was the highest at 1.0 t/ha though similar to 1.5
and 2.0 t/ha. The application of SOF had a significant influence on the
seedling leaf area (LA) in the experiments. The largest LA occurred in
seedlings treated with SOF at 2.0 and 2.5 t/ha. Dry weight and foliar
nutrient uptakes in both experiments were significantly influenced by SOF
application. The application of SOF at 0.5 t/ha in experiment 1 resulted in
higher N uptake, but the reverse was the trend in experiment 2, with higher
nutrient uptakes at 1.5-2.5 t/ha SOF. Conclusively, an optimal rate of 2.0
t/ha had positive effects on seedling response.

Published: July 2022

Late blight, a disease caused by oomycota, Phytophthora infestans, is a
greater threat to the potato crop than any other disease in Mauritius. This
disease remains the most challenging to manage once symptoms have appeared,
thus requiring rapid detection for effective disease management. The aim of
this study was to compare different methods for early detection of the
causal agent of potato late blight. Conventional culture-based methods
involved the direct isolation of P. infestans from infected leaves on Carrot
Piece Agar (CPA), Carrot Sucrose Agar (CSA), Commercial Potato Dextrose Agar
(CPDA), Fresh Potato Dextrose Agar (FPDA-1 and FPDA-2), Oatmeal Agar (OMA),
Pea Sucrose Agar (PSA) and Water Agar (WA) without antibiotic
supplementation. Mycelial growth on agar was subsequently identified using
molecular techniques. A culture-independent method was also attempted
whereby total genomic DNA was directly extracted from symptomatic leaves
with mycelial growth followed by PCR amplification with ITS5/ITS4 primers
and sequencing. The different media ranked in the following decreasing order
of performance: PSA >>> CSA ~ FPDA-1 > CPA ~ CPDA ~ OMA, with growth
appearing on PSA within 7 days without contamination. DNA sequencing
confirmed the identity of the agent recovered from PSA and from diseased
leaves to be P. infestans. Findings of this study point to an optimum
nutritive medium for recovering and culturing P. infestans from leaves with
foliar blight without the use of antibiotics. Alternatively, a
culture-independent method can be used for rapid detection and
identification during routine disease surveillance.
Preparation and characterization of physico-mechanical and structural properties of phthalimide derivative polymeric nanocomposites
Authors: Ozkan Bilici Vildan , Kaya Esin
Published: July 2022

In this study, phthalimide derived polymer-TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared
by direct mixing method and their mechanical properties were compared. The
high content filler polymer nanocomposites with sufficient interface bonding
with the polymer matrix have been prepared to maximize the properties of the
filler. In the direct mixing method, the polymer obtained by free radical
polymerization of the monomer was mixed with TiO2 in high weight
percentages. The pulse-echo method was used to characterize the elastic
constants of the polymer and polymer-TiO2 nanocomposites through detection
of the ultrasonic waves. Transverse and longitudinal ultrasonic velocities
have been used to calculate Young?s modulus of these samples. The ultrasonic
velocity and Young?s modulus values of polymer-TiO2 nanocomposites showed a
linear relationship with the weight percentage of the polymer, which is due
to the strong and effective interaction between the particles resulting
from by reinforcing TiO2 to the polymer structure. The clustering that
emerged with the increase in the amount of reinforcement in the SEM images
became more pronounced and it was observed that pure polymer and TiO2 were
homogeneously distributed. The porosity and hardness measurements of the
polymer and polymer-TiO2 nanocomposites were examined. The hardness and
porosity of the polymer structure approximately increased as the percentage
values of TiO2 increased. Moreover, TGA results of polymer nanocomposites
obtained by direct mixing showed that the thermal stability increased
linearly as the weight ratio increase of TiO2 in comparison with the pure
polymer.

differential transformation method performs better than random differential
transformation method on long time intervals.
Air temperature measurement based on lie group SO(3)
Authors: Ucan Yasemen , Bildirici Melike
Published: July 2022

This study aims to analyze the behaviors of air temperature during the period
from 1895(5) to 2021(12) using Lie algebras method. We proposed an
alternative method to model air temperature, in which the non-linear
structure of temperature is evolved by a stochastic differential equation
captured on a curved state space. After expressing stochastic differential
equations based on Lie algebras and Lie groups, we tested the non-linear and
random behavior of air temperature. This method allow a rich geometric
structure. Moreover diffusion processes can easily be built without needing
the machinery of stochastic calculus on manifolds.

Published: July 2022

Fossil resources are largely used for energy supply. This situation causes
environ?mental pollution. In recent years, studies in the field of more
environmentally friend?ly and sustainable energy conversion technologies
have increased. In this context, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology is
combined with RES. In this study, combined ORC and vapor compression cycle
(VCC) were investigated. The electricity produced in the combined ORC-VCC
system was used both in the compressor of the VCC system and in the plant.
The main factor affecting the efficiency of the combined ORC-VCC system is
the refrigerant. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the selection of the
most suitable refrigerant for an ORC-VCC based system. Fifteen different
refrigerants were optimized with the enginering equation solver program, and
energy and exergy analyzes of the systems were made separately. According to
the results, the best energy efficiency and COP values among the
refrigerants was found to be R40 (?ORC = 0.1206) for the ORC system and R113
(COP = 4.405) for the VCC system. For all system components in the VCC, the
most exergy destruction occurs in the evaporator, followed by the
compressor, condenser, and throttle, respectively. In ORC, the most exergy
destruction is in the evaporator, followed by the condenser, tube and pump,
respectively. The total efficiency was found to be (? = 0.53) for the
combined ORC-VCC system. The total exergetic efficiency was found to be
(?glob = 0.26) for the combined ORC-VCC system.
Solar irradiation forecastby deep learning architectures
Authors: Dagistanli Omer , Erbay Hasan , Yurttakal Hasim , Kor Hakan
Published: July 2022

Global solar irradiation data is a crucial component to measure solar energy
potential when we plan, size, and design solar photovoltaic fields. Often,
due to the absence of measuring equipment at meteorological stations, data
for the place of interest are not available. However, solar irradiation can
be estimated by ordinary meteorological data such as humidity, and air
temperature. Herein we propose two different deep learning methods, one
based on a deep neural network regression and the other based on
multivariate long short term memory unit networks, to estimate solar
irradiation at given locations. Validation criteria include mean absolute
error, mean squared error, and coefficient of determination (R2 value).
According to the simulation results, multivariate long short term memory
unit networks performs slightly better than deep neural network. Even
though both have very close R2 values, multivariate long short term memory?s
R2 values are more consistent. The same is true for mean squared error and
mean absolute error.
The use of high molecular iso-amyl alcohol as an alternative fuel for compression ignition engines
Authors: Vural Erdinc
Published: July 2022

Currently, many studies are being conducted to improve the emissions and
combustion of diesel fuels of diesel vehicles. The majority of these
studies consist of alcohol-derived fuels. Alcohol fuels are usually composed
of butanol, methenol, and ethanol fuels. However, a high molecular alcohol
such as iso-amyl with a high calorific value, which can be produced from
sugar beet pulp, is the focus of more attention. Iso-amyl alcohol, chemical
formula (CH3)2CH-CH2CH2-OH, oxygen rich, can mix with solvents such as
ether, photography, pharmaceutical industry, milk oil quantity determination
and synthesis, used in a colorless, foul-smelling liquid. In this study, the
effects of the addition of iso-amyl alcohol to diesel fuel in order to
reduce Diesel engine emissions were examined. For this purpose, 5%, 10%, and
20% iso-amyl alcohol were added to the diesel fuel. The resulting mixtures
were subjected to full fuel analysis, unlike other studies. After that, the
fuel mixtures in a Diesel engine at different engine speeds at full load
(1400 rpm, 1700 rpm, 2000 rpm, 2300 rpm, 2600 rpm, 2900 rpm. and 3200 rpm)
were tried. As a result of the experiments, it was determined that the
contribution of iso-amyl alcohol caused a 1% -3% reduction in cylinder
pressure, 12-20% in power, and 8-25% in torque. Furthermore, when examined
in terms of exhaust gas emissions, it decreased in NOx emission by 1-10%, in
smoke opacity by 9-36%, and in HC emission by 6-44%.

Published: July 2022

In this study, the thermal analysis of an aluminum piston coated with MgOZrO2
to create a thermal barrier with the COMSOL multiphysics program and the
changes in exhaust gas temperature, fuel consumption, and engine torque
values obtained as a result of engine test experiments were examined. For
this purpose, the MgOZrO2 coated and uncoated piston engine was started with
biodiesel and 5% water + 15% ethanol doped biodiesel fuel at engine speeds
of 1000 rpm, 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, and 2500 rpm. In the thermal analysis
results obtained in the COMSOL, it was found that the temperature values
increased in the upper regions of the coated pistons. Likewise, in engine
experiments, increased exhaust gas temperature and engine torque showed a
tendency to decrease fuel consumption values. It has been observed that the
data obtained in the analysis in the COMSOL program are in parallel with the
results of the engine experiments.
Fairness and Luck: Contract Away or Come What May?
Authors: Asay H. Scott , Garrett Jace B. , Tayler William B.
Published: July 2022

Prior research shows that managers use discretion to reduce the effect of “bad luck” on employees’ performance-based compensation, but not to reduce the effect of “good luck,” due to fairness concerns. In a setting without manager discretion, we investigate whether objective compensation plans that account for luck can be used to reduce fairness concerns. We show that although such compensation plans are perceived as fairer ex ante, they do not produce uniformly higher perceived fairness ex post. Individuals who experience bad luck believe their compensation is fairer if the compensation plan limits the effect of luck on their compensation than if the compensation plan allows luck to influence their compensation. In contrast, individuals who experience good luck believe their compensation is less fair if the compensation plan limits the effect of luck on their compensation. These findings highlight the complex relationship among incentives, employee selection, retention, satisfaction, and motivation.

Incretin-Based Drugs and the Risk of Acute Liver Injury Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Pradhan Richeek , Yin Hui , Yu Oriana H.Y. , Azoulay Laurent
Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether the use of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), separately, is associated with an increased risk of acute liver injury compared with the use of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We used the U.K. Clinical Practice Research Datalink linked with the Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care and the Office for National Statistics databases to assemble two new-user, active-comparator cohorts. The first included 106,310 initiators of DPP-4 inhibitors and 27,277 initiators of SGLT-2 inhibitors, while the second included 9,470 initiators of GLP-1 RAs and 26,936 initiators of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Cox proportional hazards models with propensity score fine stratification weighting were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of acute liver injury.

RESULTS

Compared with SGLT-2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors were associated with a 53% increased risk of acute liver injury (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.02–2.30). In contrast, GLP-1 RAs were not associated with an overall increased risk of acute liver injury (HR 1.11, 95% CI 0.57–2.16). However, an increased risk was observed among female users of both DPP-4 inhibitors (HR 3.22, 95% CI 1.67–6.21) and GLP-1 RAs (HR 3.23, 95% CI 1.44–7.25).

CONCLUSIONS

In this population-based study, DPP-4 inhibitors were associated with an increased risk of acute liver injury compared with SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes. In contrast, an increased risk of acute liver injury was observed only among female GLP-1 RA users.
Littoral areas of Amazonian floodplain lakes: a biological reserve to biodiversity loss
Authors: Donato-R. Jhon C. , Duque Santiago R.
Published: July 2022

Carbon from aquatic plants and periphyton in littoral zones subsidize food webs. Field work was carried out in two different lake types in the Colombian Amazon: a várzea (Yahuarcaca) and an igapó (Pacatúa). Plants in the littoral zone of várzea Lake had higher photosynthetic biomass compared to the plants of the littoral zone of igapó, but differences in root biomass were not significant. The two littoral zones contained a relatively high species richness and diversity (Shannon-Wiener Index) of organisms associated with the roots, although no significant differences existed between the two lakes. Littoral areas may be important in relatively isolated and physically fragmented large terrestrial landscapes such as the Amazon basin.

The Essence of the Phenomenon Time and its Causal Relation to the Process of the Human Seeing and Hearing
Authors: G Dorda
Published: July 2022

Based on the experimental data of the effect of pendulum (PE) and of the third law of Kepler (3LK), an analysis of the essence of time is given. It is shown that an identity of the PE-time with the 3LK-time is possible only in the case when we presume the existence of a dual basic state of the whole nature. This model is based on the one side on the gravity, i.e. the one-dimensional state, the statics, and on the other side on the electromagnetism, i.e. the two-dimensional state, the dynamics. This model suggests the essence of time to be the dynamics. Moreover, it is shown that the localization-state of the 3LK-time, which in fact is observable in form of frequency [Hz], is describable by time [s] only, when it is based on this dual model, resulting in the relation [Hz] = [s-1]. Besides, this model allows to yield a solution of the three-body-problem (3BP), as well as to formulate an equation, which shows that a causal connection between the gravitational force and the PE is given. Furthermore, as has been shown that the process of human seeing and hearing can be described by this physical model of the dual states of being, thus it is demonstrated the effect of seeing and hearing to be in fact a clear biophysical process. Finally, it is shown that the basic units meter, kilogram, second and ampere allow to be the suitable matter to disclose by localization the possibility of causal effects at the state of dynamics.

Published: July 2022

Reward includes the process carried out by giving reinforcement (reinforcement) in the form of rewards, so that with the award it is expected that it will naturally arise positive behavior and continue to do it better in the future. So that with the award of children will be considered to play a role or useful and feel valued for their efforts that can raise their status. In other words, reward can be said as one of the steps taken by children to give an award to children who have done their job properly. By giving rewards children are expected to maintain and even improve the quality of their achievement in the future. Punishment also has an equally important role in shaping or improving children's attitudes. Punishment is performed by children to provide improvements to unsatisfactory behavior or achievement. With the punishment it is expected that the child is aware of the mistakes he made so that he can consider something that will be done next. Punishment is done to avoid unpleasant conditions by correcting or minimizing unfavorable behavior. Therefore, with the behavior accompanied by punishment, the behavior (negative) will be reduced and will not even repeat. Punishment is done to avoid unpleasant conditions by correcting or minimizing unfavorable behavior. Therefore, with the behavior accompanied by punishment, the behavior (negative) will be reduced and will not even repeat. Punishment is done to avoid unpleasant conditions by correcting or minimizing unfavorable behavior. Therefore, with the behavior accompanied by punishment, the behavior (negative) will be reduced and will not even repeat.     In overcoming this discipline required the existence of school rules, consistency and implementing school discipline and partnerships with parents. Sanctions must not be given emotionally and according to taste, but must refer to existing standards and rules and aim at educating. With these things discipline in the school can be upheld and restored. Children who have problems with bad behavior can be helped and restored. It is hoped that such steps and attitudes will have a major impact on conducive conditions so as to create good learning outcomes and more positive changes in children's behavior.

Selain itu, edukasi tentang obat sejak dini perlu dilakukan agar nantinya tidak timbul permasalahan dalam penggunaan obat. Kegiatan pengabdian berupa edukasi dengan media handout dan buku ajar berbasis aktivitas dilakukan sebagai salah satu upaya peningkatan pengetahuan siswa. Sasaran kegiatan adalah siswa kelas 3 di SDIT Insan Mulia Surakarta pada bulan April 2021. Dalam memahami materi edukasi, siswa dipandu melalui pertemuan virtual dengan platform zoom meetings. Evaluasi keberhasilan program dilakukan melalui penilaian pengetahuan dengan pretes dan postes. Perbedaan nilai pretest dan postest dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon. Pada akhir rangkaian kegiatan hanya ada 37 siswa yang mengisi postes dengan lengkap. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan pengetahuan yang signifikan sebelum dan sesudah edukasi menggunakan buku ajar berbasis aktivitas dengan nilai p=0,047. Akan tetapi, tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada pengetahuan siswa yang diberikan edukasi melalui media handout dan buku ajar berbasis aktivitas ( p=0,777.; p>0,05). Media edukasi buku ajar berbasis aktivitas lebih tepat digunakan dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa sekolah dasar. Kendala yang dialami selama kegiatan adalah jaringan internet dan fasilitas yang dimiliki siswa. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini telah berjalan dengan lancar  dan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa tentang obat dan PHBS. Melalui media edukasi yang telah disusun oleh tim pengabdian, diharapkan edukasi tentang obat dan PHBS terhadap siswa dapat terus dilakukan secara berkala.

During the early period of the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a spike in cases of sexual violence against children. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, March 16 - April 19, 2020, it was known that there had been an increase in cases of sexual violence against children from 60 cases before the pandemic to 97 cases at the beginning of the pandemic. The results of the initial questionnaire obtained from 67 respondents before the webiar, showed that 20% of parents did not understand sex education well. This webinar on early childhood sex education aims to make parents able to give the right explanation to their children from an early age. So that children have a correct understanding of sex and are able to protect themselves from sexual violence. The webinar, which contains explanations and discussions about sex for an early age, was attended by 61 participants, who are parents of PAUDIT Mutiara Hati Klaten. In addition to explanations in the form of oral presentations of material about sex education, material using videos and pictures was also presented to 61 participants.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) learning is a method that integrates science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in learning so that it can be easily understood by students. STEAM learning is carried out from an early age to help achieve 21st century skills and the industrial revolution 4.0. Parents need to understand STEAM learning in order to be able to assist children in STEAM learning activities through playing activities at home. However, many parents are not familiar with STEAM learning. The purpose of this community service is to help parents prepare to accompany their children to learn STEAM. This community service involved 77 parents and children from TK A & B PAS Assakiinah. This activity begins with collecting initial data on the STEAM learning experience. The implementation stage is carried out by socializing and distributing STEAM learning mentoring modules for parents, STEAM learning practices through playing activities with children and family members at home which are recorded with video, sharing experiences of STEAM learning practices among participants, and evaluating activities. After participating in this community service activity, parents who were previously unfamiliar with STEAM learning became aware of STEAM learning. Parents feel happy when they practice STEAM learning with their children using the modules provided. The reaction of children who are happy and excited when participating in STEAM learning through play makes parents feel comfortable in enjoying togetherness with their children. If this practice continues, it can help build closeness between parents and children in the family. Thus, the STEAM learning module can be used as a guide for parents to assist children in playing activities with their families.
