ABSTRACT. The effects of copper concentration on the properties of copper lead sulfide  thin films have been reported. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) method was used to deposit the ternary material on soda-lime substrates. Here, the  films were grown using copper(II) chloride, lead nitrate, and thiourea as sources of copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and sulfur (S), respectively. The grown films were examined using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, UV-spectrophotometer and four-point (4P) probes. XRD measurements revealed a polycrystalline material with strong adherent to the substrates. SEM readings indicated various grain-like crystalline morphologies with different sizes that change with copper concentrations. The EDX studies revealed that the deposited material consist of copper, lead and sulfur in various compositions. The transmittance was high in the near infrared regions of the electromagnetic radiation and, also decreases with copper concentrations. The band gap (Eg) varies from 2.05 to 2.50 eV with increase in copper concentrations. The study shows that CBD is an excellent method in depositing good quality films for device applications.

ABSTRACT. The condensation of thiosemicarbazide with oxazolidinone produced 5-benzylidene-3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-6-oxo-5,6-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazine-2-carbothioic acid amide (HL1). Co(II) and Ni(II) ions were reacted with the HL1 ligand. Elemental analysis and molar conductivity, along with mass, 1H-NMR, IR, UV-Vis, and X-ray powder diffraction spectral examinations, were used to reveal the chemical structure of the synthesized complexes. The stoichiometry of the complexes was determined to be 1:2 (metallic: moiety) using analytical, spectroscopic, and thermal data. The thermal properties of the complexes were explored using thermogravimetric (TG-DTG/DTA) methods, as well as the decomposition stages. Several kinetic thermodynamic parameters such as free activation energy (ΔG*), activation enthalpy (ΔH*), activation entropy (ΔS*), pre-exponential factor (A), and the activation energy (E*) were estimated. Inhibitory effects towards colon carcinoma cells (HCT cell line), hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2 cell line), and breast carcinoma (MCF-7 cell line) were verified using various concentrations of the samples. A colorimetric method was used to determine the cell viability percent in comparison to doxorubicin drug as a control.

Biogas Potentials for Anaerobic Co-Digested Rumen Contents and Sewage Sludge
Authors: Ogbozige Francis James
Published: August 2023

Sewage sludge (SS) and rumen contents (RC) are produced daily in waste stabilization ponds and abattoirs respectively as organic  wastes. However, these wastes could pose a threat to the environment if not properly managed hence, this research investigated the  potentials of these wastes in generating biogas. This was achieved by digesting different SS/RC ratios anaerobically for 30days and  recording the biogas produced under mesophilic condition. The SS and RC were obtained from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) waste  stabilization pond and cattle (Bos indicus) respectively, while the SS/RC ratios considered were 1:0, 0:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1. Results showed  that the co-digested organic wastes produced more biogas compared to mono-digestions of equivalent volumes of SS (1:0) and RC (0:1).  This is because the recorded daily biogas potentials for SS/RC ratios 1:0, 0:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 were 12.77, 19.59, 21.79, 23.85 and 20.45ml  per gram of TS added respectively. Hence, it was concluded that biogas potential for SS improved by 70.63%, 86.77% and 60.14% when co- digested with RC at SS/RC ratios 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 respectively, while that of RC improved by 11.23%, 21.75% and 4.39% at SS/RC ratios 1:1,  1:2 and 2:1 respectively.

Authors: Ovonramwen O.B. , Amoren E.I.
Published: August 2023

The deacetylated form of chitin presents enormous areas of application. The research work was aimed at the production of polymer film  by the extraction of chitosan from Lentinus squarrosulus (mushroom) and Caridina africana (shrimp) using a chemical process involving  deproteinisation, demineralisation, and deacetylation. The two samples were thoroughly washed with distilled water to remove  impurities, then dried at room temperature for three days. The mushroom was grounded to powder, deproteinised at varying  concentrations (1, 2, 3, and 4 M) and temperatures (60, 80, and 100 °C). The emanating products were now demineralised and  deacetylated at 3 M and 60 °C. Biuret test analysis was carried out on 3 M, 60 °C and 4 M, 100 °C of L. squarrosulus chitosan and C.  africana with the later showing a clearer positive result for the application. The physicochemical and mechanical properties of chitosan composite films of C. africana and gelatinous composition (CS30: G70, CS50: G50, and CS70: G30) plasticised with glycerol were studied.  The chitosan composite films, L. squarrosulus (3 M, 60 °C), and C. africana were characterised by FT-IR. The FTIR spectra showed the  functional groups associated with the various bands, intensities, and stretching established that the samples were chitosan. The results  of the flexibility and refractive index analysis indicated that the higher chitosan films were more flexible and refractive, finding a much  greater application in the manufacture of lenses of higher magnification. The FTIR spectra of the compact films of the homogeneous  structure showed that there was a reaction in C. africana chitosan. The SEM analysis of chitosan in C. africana showed morphological  differences of ×300, ×500, ×1000, and ×1500.

Published: August 2023

This paper takes a critical review of the evolutionary trend of mobile banking platforms deployed by commercial banks in Nigeria, with the aim to recommend a more secure and robust one. It identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each and highlights the factors that led to the invention of the next succeeding one. The mobile banking platforms reviewed includes Short Messaging Service (SMS), Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), SIM Application Toolkit (SAT), and Application (APP) based platforms. Many of these mobile banking platforms are still utilized by most commercial banks in Nigeria today. However, it is obvious that, although most commercial banks combine two or more of the mobile banking platforms in order to get better result, there are inherent security problems and other challenges in them, which need to be addressed. Having a mobile banking platform (APPbased) with inbuilt ability to confirm a user’s authenticity before his transaction is completed, would bring a better security check and thereby bring enhancement to mobile banking transactions. The Application is made more flexible for users by allowing more than one user to use the application to transact once installed in a phone. It is as well equipped with more functionalities like including means for users to: enable/disable their SMS alerts, Change their SMS phone number, Edit their residential address, and Update their next of kin information, as their needs may arise.

Published: August 2023

The representation of black identity in African American literature is a subject of great and critical concern. Scholars have made deliberate efforts to address the racial issues, language, its oral nature among others; but little attention has been given to the identity and the representation of these identities in African American Literature. This study therefore, is an attempt to examine the concept of identity and its aesthetic representations in African American literature. The study engages a survey of texts in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, speeches, musical forms, rap and film which are selected as a result of their relevance to the research focus. These texts are subjected to critical analysis while references are made to secondary texts where applicable. It is discovered that the literature of the black diaspora. considers identity as a major theme in its discourse and this is represented in all forms of their literature. Identity, which could refer to a sense of ownership, is a major concern in the literature of the Black diaspora.

This study was carried out to investigate the Safety Standards (sine-qua-non) in the Successful Operation of Biomedical Equipment in Selected Health care facilities in Port Harcourt Metropolis of Rivers State. The study employed a descriptive research design and the instrument for data collection was structured questionnaire which were distributed to the ive (5) selected Health care facilities Port Harcourt Metropolis of Rivers State. A total number of 100 respondents were used for the study. The respondent’s views/data were collated presented and analyzed using simple percentage statistical method. Findings of the study showed that majority of the respondents (70%) said they do not have safety environment that could guarantee successful operation of some biomedical devices, (75%) said there is no safety standards for operation of some biomedical equipment in their Health care facilities and 90% agreed that there were consequences of poor safety appliance to biomedical equipment. Following the result of the study as indicated above, it could be deduced that safety standards were not observed which resulted in unusable equipment, untreated patients, wrong diagnosis, wrong treatment, electric shock, and infection from contaminated equipment, frustrated medical staff and overloaded repair shops. Hence this study recommended that operation of equipment should be carried under the conditions for which it is appropriate, only staff that are knowledgeable in the operation of the biomedical equipment should be allowed and also ensure that there are routine inspection and maintenance of the biomedical equipment as at when due to avoid the above unpleasant conditions.

This cross-sectional study determined the mean parasitaemia and prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites among school-aged children in Omoku, Ogba Egbema Ndoni Local Government Area, Rivers State, Southern Nigeria. A total of 200 blood samples were randomly collected through convenience sampling method from the study subjects. Malaria diagnosis was carried out using standard parasitological techniques. The demographic data of the subjects showed that more females, 126(63%), were examined compared with males, 74(37%). Overall prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum recorded was 49%. Gender-based prevalence showed that more females were infected 58(29%) with mean parasite density of 16524(1611) parasites/μL of blood than males, 40 (20%) with mean parasite density of 14886(1794) parasites/μL of blood. The difference in prevalence between them was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Age-related prevalence showed that those within the age range of 5 to 7 years had the highest prevalence, 48(24%), with mean parasite density of 14909(1244) parasites/μL of blood, followed by those within the age range of 8 to 10 years, 34(17%), with mean parasite density of 11434(1244) parasites/μL of blood, while those within the age range of 11 to 13 years had the lowest prevalence, 16(8%), with mean parasite density of 5067(568) parasites/μL of blood. However, the difference between them was not statistically significant (P >0.05). The prevalence of malaria based on schools attended by the subjects showed that BMA had the highest, 12%, and mean parasite density of 6995(827) parasites/μL of blood, while SIS, and EIS had the lowest percentage of infections, 8%, respectively (P>0.05).The association between mother’s level of education, household size and P. falciparum parasitized children was statistically significant (P<0.05). In conclusion, malaria is endemic in the study area, and among other interventions, scaling up investment in primary health care is necessary to effectively prevent, detect, and treat malaria in local communities.

Salmonella Prevalence is Low in Deep Tissue Lymph Nodes of Hog Carcasses from a Pork Processing Plant in Alberta, Canada
Authors:   Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Holman Devin
Published: August 2023

Deep tissue lymph nodes (DTLNs) could be an important source of Salmonella in pork because carcass decontamination strategies have no effect on Salmonella cells that are deeply embedded and protected. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, concentration, and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella in DTLNs in chilled hog carcasses as well as in ground pork. A total of 400 DTLNs were collected over a 10-month period from a commercial pork processing plant. Salmonella was detected in 2 (0.5%) of 400 DTLNs; Salmonella Uganda was detected in a DTLN from the belly and Salmonella Bovismorbificans in one DTLN from the shoulder. Salmonella Uganda was also detected in one ground pork sample. The three Salmonella isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested, and no clinically significant antimicrobial resistance genes were detected in these genomes after sequencing. The prevalence of Salmonella in DTLNs in pork tissues intended for human consumption is very low and could be a minor source of contamination in the production of ground pork. These findings are important for the pork industry to assess the risks and benefits of removing DTLNs from pork cuts and trimmings.

Authors:   Oregon State University, Kovacevic Jovana
Published: August 2023

Inspections of fresh produce operations for compliance with the Produce Safety Rule (PSR) have identified cleaning and sanitizing (C/S) as a significant challenge. To better understand C/S practices in the produce industry a national survey was administered over a 3-week period in summer 2020 to fresh produce operations in U.S. Survey responses (n = 162) represented 135 produce operations from 18 different states. The most common materials reported for harvesting containers (n = 50 responses) were plastic (80%), wood (30%), cardboard (16%), and canvas (12%), while stainless steel (81%) and plastic (71%) were most commonly used for post-harvest equipment (n = 42 responses). Bleach (40/63), quaternary ammonium compounds (32/63), and peracetic acid (26/63) were the most commonly reported sanitizers. Respondents indicated there is a need for resources on principles and practical implementation of C/S, identification of hazards and prioritizing C/S activities, establishing a C/S program, and verification of C/S effectiveness, in English, Spanish and other languages. High turnover and seasonal workforce (37/65) and no time to C/S (19/65) were indicated as major barriers for improving C/S in a facility. The results of the survey helped guide a virtual C/S workshop in 2021, and an in-person workshop currently in development.
Aisthetics of Religion and embodied spiritual perception: hermeneutic approaches in Hesychasm, Christian Platonism, and Aesthetics of Idealism, to ‘divine light’ and ‘mystical flight’
Authors: Kleinhempel Ullrich
Published: August 2023

In this essay I show developments in Aisthetics of Religion, a new discipline of Science of Religion, towards the inclusion of the body, and the senses, departing from an approach of naturalistic reductionism towards the integration of the category or dimension of the transcendent”. Here, recourse is taken to the philosophical aesthetics of German Idealism, that integrates ‘body’ and ‘soul, by its concept of the faculty of ‘imagination’ as instrument of aisthesis and divination. Hesychasm is presented as sharing the same principles of spiritual aesthetics of the phenomenology of the divine, including supernatural paradigmatic iconic event, as of Jesus’ Transfiguration and St. Paul’s mystical flight. The epistemic basis regarding the role of body, soul, and mind, with their specific aisthesis, and their formation towards it, recognised. Affinity between these Aisthetics of Religion, and Hesychastic epistemics are recognised as inspiration for theology and hermeneutics beyond the limits of ‘logo-centrism’.
The Hesychastic approach towards sensoriform perception of paradigmatic ‘iconic’ manifestations of the divine, in embodied perception, and preparation to such aisthesis is recognised as inspiration and theological challenge in response to Aisthetics of Religion.

In carrying out its functions, an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) requires tools that are used to support and assist technicians in carrying out aircraft maintenance and components on the aircraft by existing procedures. At PT. XYZ as AMO, the room has not been separated between the tools storage room and the work area. Several problems arise because the tools storage room and the work area are still unified and the standards in the existing tools storage room have not been met. The problems that occur include, there is corrosion on several tools, there are tools that are missing from the storage area because they are scattered during the use and return process, there are findings in internal quality audits in the field of maintenance, especially in the reception and handling of tools that are not optimal. From these problems, it is necessary to design a storage room for tools regarding existing standards as a form of advice for companies in making a storage room for tools. The tool store design will be made with full attention to room conditions, lighting, temperature, and humidity under CASR 145 standards and determine the layout, number of shelves, and cabinets needed to place and store general tools and special tools.

Rapid innovations in the field of technology have become a driving force in ensuring a new management approach and sustainability, especially in companies. Namely, this rapid transformation has made it necessary for managers with technical knowledge and equipment to come to the fore in company management and use technological infrastructure and systems in all companies. While the managers of the classical period were not allowed to make decisions, today, thanks to the specialized communication networks of all units, the ease of information flow has been the most critical factor in developing joint decision-making. In addition, the fact that the managers made technological facilities, tools, and equipment applicable and usable in the companies significantly changed the competitive sustainability face. The use of technology and digitalization in business management and all other units has brought a new digital perspective to business. From the beginning of the industrial revolution to Industry 5.0, the last point reached digital transformation plans are applied as a new road map for the future in units such as marketing, accounting, entrepreneurship, and supply chain in management.

Pharmacy students' perceptions of instructional methods of cognitive apprenticeship in clinical teaching: A qualitative study
Authors: Wong Pei Se , Chong David W. K. , Marley Charles
Published: August 2023

Background: Clinical training provides many opportunities to acquire complex skills safely. The cognitive apprenticeship (CA) model advocates six teaching methods: modelling, coaching, scaffolding, reflection, articulation and exploration, which are useful teaching strategies. Little is known about how these strategies best fit into pharmacy clinical teaching.
Methods: This study used a qualitative research approach using individual interviews and focus groups. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.
Results: Twenty students participated in six focus groups and three interviews. Two major themes were identified: the value of teaching and the influences of teaching methods and learning. Results indicated that coaching was predominantly applied in pharmacy clinical teaching. Other teaching methods were inconsistently applied.
Conclusion: The findings support the use of cognitive apprenticeship teaching methods in pharmacy skills teaching, but the effective application of these methods hinges on instructional design and teacher development. Guided by the literature and the findings, a teaching framework may be tested in further research and used for teacher development and evaluation.

Wieacker–Wolff syndrome (WWS) (OMIM 314580, 301041) is rare, slowly progressive, X-linked hereditary disorder. It is characterized by fetal akinesia, which results in congenital multiplex arthrogryposis, spasticity, and development delay. WWS is caused by the point mutations or extended deletions in the ZC4H2 gene, located on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq11.2). Currently, about 100 cases have been described.

We present the case of WWS 5-year girl. DNA diagnostic was performed using full exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Determination of non-random X-chromosome inactivation was performed by methyl-sensitive PCR of GAAA-repeat RP2 gene. 

The main clinical symptoms in our case are stiffness of large and small joints, specific facial phenotype, spasticity and lack of independent walking. We revealed heterozygous mutation с.22_23delAT (p.Met8fs) in ZC4H2 gene. Non-random inactivation of the X chromosome was detected (XCI = 96.1%).

Conclusions. Clinical symptoms of the disease, the nature of the detected mutation and the literature data indicate to the presence of an X-linked dominant pattern of inheritance of WWS in our patient. We described the case referred to the group of ZC4H2-associated rare disorders.

Más aún cuando estamos ante un colectivo tan vulnerable como son las personas en situación de dependencia. Esto implica implementar una mayor coordinación entre las diferentes entidades y organismos involucrados y hacer uso de todos los medios disponibles a nuestro alcance priorizando la atención y el bienestar de estas personas.
