Published: February 2024

Turbidity of the lens of the eyeball that causes blindness or loss of vision is known as a cataract. By diagnosing the causes and symptoms of cataracts, early detection helps patients in prevention and treatment. The purpose of the research was to classify the image of the fundus into two classes: normal and cataract. The study also looked at how the optimizers for stochastic gradient descent, adaptive moment estimation, root mean square propagation, adaptive gradient algorithm, adaptive delta, and Nesterov-accelerated adaptive moment estimation stacked up against each other. We used the EfficientNet architecture in CNN and preprocessed the normal fundus and cataract fundus images by dividing each into training data (N = 80) and validation data (N = 20) from the Kaggle repository. We added test data from the normal fondus image (N =20) to see the accuracy of the results. We get 100% accuracy of training data, 87% and 77% validation data, and 100% and 95% test data.

Revisiting 310-helices: biological relevance, mimetics and applications
Authors: Núñez-Villanueva Diego
Published: February 2024

310-Helices represent the third most abundant secondary structure proteins. Although understandably overshadowed by α-helices for decades, the 310-helix structure is slowly regaining certain relevance in protein science. The key role of this secondary structure in biological processes has been highlighted in reports over the last decade. In addition, 310-helices are considered key intermediates in protein folding as well as a crucial structure for the antimicrobial activity of naturally occurring peptaibols. Thus, it is clear that 310-helices are relevant scaffolds to take into consideration in the field of biomimetics. In this context, this review covers the strategies developed to stabilize the 310-helix structure in peptide chains, from the incorporation of constrained amino acids to stapling methodologies. In the last section, the use of 310-helices as scaffolds of interest in the development of bioactive compounds, catalysts for enantioselective reactions, supramolecular receptors, and membrane-embedded signal transducers are discussed. The present work aims to highlight the relevance, sometimes underestimated, of 310-helices in chemical biology and protein science, providing the tools to develop functional biomimetics with a wide range of potential applications.

Authors: F. Ben Amer Salwa
Published: February 2024

In common use, almost every word has many shades of meaning, therefore, it needs to be interpreted by context. A context theory is a very important theory in language education.

This paper aims to show the notion of context and its importance in communication and language study which has been extensively studied by different linguists from different perspectives. Moreover, in today's world, there is a growing need to learn how to use language appropriately in context and it is widely accepted that language requires context in order to function as a medium of communication between speakers and listeners. Therefore, effective communicator needs to understand all forms of context to master all forms of verbal and physical exchanges of information and as listeners, they make use of background knowledge about the speaker, concepts and previous utterances in order to infer the speaker's intended meaning. Therefore, effective language teachers treat language as a whole integrated communication system and use it as a context to facilitate their students learning.

In this paper, the author emphasizes the importance of context theory in interactive language teaching concentrating on developing natural language communication and the teacher aims to use all language activities in meaningful situation and how to promote the students' communicative competence in the context and use all knowledge about language in meaningful situation to negotiate meaning and get their message through.

Background: Ample evidence supporting the effectiveness of emergency triage to improve patient flow (efficiency), crowding, and outcomes has been generated in developed countries. Low-resource settings, however, face distinctive challenges that may significantly influence the choice of an appropriate triage scale and the success of its implementation1. Triage is putting the patient in the right place at the right time to receive the right level of care, the allocation of appropriate resources to meet the patient’s medical needs. It also allows for the allocation of the patient to the most appropriate assessment and treatment area. The triage system varies from one health institution to the other based on available medical services, community need and load of emergency departments2. Method: A pre- experimental with one group pre-test and post-test design and quantitative approach was selected to carry out the study. The study population comprised of all staff nurses working selected hospitals at Tripura. The sample size for the study was 50 staff nurses.

A prototypical model of a concept as a tool for research
Authors: Шеина И.М.
Published: February 2024

Данное исследование предлагает прототипическую модель концепта «колония» и категории «колония» как инструмент для определения статуса той или иной территории, так как в общественных науках часто возникают разногласия по данным вопросам. Методы исследования включают: анализ словарных дефиниций, контекстуальный анализ, прототипическое моделирование. На первом этапе исследования выявлен набор признаков, определяющих содержание концепта «колония», на основе анализа словарных дефиниций и контекстов словоупотребления в Национальном корпусе русского языка. Далее признаки распределялись в ядерной, приядерной и периферийной зонах прототипической модели. На следующем этапе прототипическая модель применялась в качестве критерия для определения статуса трех территорий: Аляски и Алеутских островов, Форт-Росса как заокеанских территорий Российской империи, а также Китая XIX века. Анализ фрагментов дискурса, описывающих ситуацию на каждой из территорий, показал, что Аляска и Алеутские острова находятся в центре прототипической модели категории «колония», так как при их описании реализуются все признаки колонии, Форт-Росс расположен в зоне между центром и периферией, так как в дискурсе не проявляются некоторые второстепенные признаки, а Китай XIX века помещен на периферию категории, поскольку в его описании не реализуется один ядерный признак (часть целого). Такой подход позволяет подойти к оценке положения исследуемой страны или территории в тот или иной исторический период на основе объективных критериев.

This research suggests a prototypical model of the concept “colony” and the category “colony” as a tool to identify the status of this or that territory as in social sciences this issue often causes debate. Research methods include the dictionary definitions analysis, the conceptual analysis and prototypical modeling. The features constituting the concept “colony” were identified on the basis of the dictionary definitions analysis and the contextual analysis. On the next stage of the research they were distributed in the three zones of the prototypical model: in the nucleus, the near-nucleus zone, and the periphery. Then the model was applied as a set of criteria to identify the status of three territories: Alaska and the Aleutian Island, Fort-Ross as overseas territories of the Russian Empire and China in the XIXth century. Analysis of pieces of discourse describing the situation on each of the territories shows that Alaska and the Aleutian Islands are in the nucleus of the model as they manifest all the features of a colony. Fort-Ross is located in the near-nucleus zone as some of the peripheral features of the concept are not revealed in discourse. China is in the peripheral zone as one of the nuclear features (“part of a whole”) is not manifested in discourse. From the author’s point of view the prototypical approach can help to determine the status of a country or territory in this or that historical period.

Published: February 2024

In recent times, and in light of the global economic downturn, there have been calls for accountability and improved efficiency in the Nigerian public sector. The recently announced implementation of performance appraisal system across the entire federal civil service has highlighted the need for a review of the practice of performance appraisal in the public sector given the typical political influence that permeates most organizations in the sector. Drawing upon Equity Theory, this study examines the impact of performance appraisal fairness on employee productivity in Nigerian federal regulatory agencies, with emphasis on the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). A descriptive survey research design was adopted, with primary data collected from staff of NAFDAC using a five-point Likert scale model questionnaire. Correlation and regression techniques were used to analyze the data which was collected through non probability quota sampling. The result revealed that interactional, procedural and distributive fairness in performance appraisal were statistically significant and positively influenced employees’ productivity in NAFDAC. Thus, the study recommends that considering the planned implementation of performance appraisal system across the entire federal civil service, government should design performance appraisal systems that will appropriately address these constructs to improve efficiency, accountability and productivity of the public sector.

Es por ello que en el presente trabajo se plantea conocer la relación tierra-planta-ganado haciendo énfasis en la evaluación de algunos componentes de manera sistémica, así como del efecto que tienen los pastizales sobre la calidad y productividad de los animales. El sistema de producción UPSE, está ubicado en los terrenos de la extensión de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Estatal Península de Santa Elena, situada en la parroquia Manglaralto, basado en pastoreo libre con pastizales de Llanero, (Brachiaria dictyoneura). El Sistema de Producción UTA, está ubicado en la Granja Experimental de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Campus Querochaca, ubicada en el cantón Cevallos, basado en pastoreo rotacional con pastizales de kikuyo (Pennisetum clandestinum), se muestrearon los parámetros del pH y del contenido de Nitrógeno (N), Fosforo (P), Potasio (K), Calcio (Ca), Magnesio (Mg), Hierro, (Fe), Manganeso (Mn), Cobre (Cu) y Zinc (Zn), en una sola muestra de suelo, recolectadas en el área de pastizales dedicada al pastoreo bovino de los dos sistemas, el contenido de Calcio (Ca), Magnesio (Mg), Potasio (K) y Fosforo (P), en una sola muestra vegetal, recolectadas en el área de pastizales dedicada al pastoreo bovino de los dos sistemas y el contenido de los minerales Calcio (Ca), Magnesio (Mg), Potasio (K) y Fosforo (P), Urea, y Proteínas Totales (P.T.) en suero sanguíneo de los bovinos de los dos sistemas de producción en estudio. Esto lleva a concluir que ambas coberturas de gramíneas en el caso de los dos sistemas de producción pueden contribuir a generar mejores respuestas de los componentes animales, cerrando los diferentes ciclos que permiten interactuar a gramíneas y leguminosas en el ambiente suelo con efecto directo sobre el animal que pastorea. Este planteamiento de entender la interacción suelo-planta-animal es importante a fin de contrastar la mejor alternativa desde el punto de vista productivo y que a la vez pueda ser incorporado por los productores en sus prácticas agronómicas locales.

Education is one of the crucial aspects for broadening the knowledge of the nation's future generations. A similar situation is observed among the children of the Bajo tribe in Tinakin Laut Village, Banggai Laut Regency. In the past, the majority of them had low educational levels, necessitating awareness to encourage the Bajo community to value knowledge as much as possible. This research aims to understand the educational process for Bajo children in Tinakin Laut Village. The method employed in this study is a qualitative approach using ethnographic methods, involving data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The research data sources consist of primary and secondary data, with data analysis techniques including data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results reveal several key findings. First, the education process in Tinakin Laut Village has undergone significant changes. In the past, the community there had little interest in education, but currently, the Bajo community has recognized the importance of education. Second, the education process in Tinakin Village is based on the willingness of children, parental encouragement and awareness, school support, and the influence of the surrounding environment. Third, the economic conditions in Tinakin Laut Village have improved, especially marked by increased job opportunities. Bajo parents in Tinakin Laut Village, who previously relied solely on sea resources, now consider job diversification to avoid dependence on seasons, enabling them to experience a prosperous life similar to the local Banggai community

The main focus in this study is to enhance and classify the image of a type of filamentous fungi named Penicillium and Aspergillus. For image enhancement, fuzzy-partition gamma adaptive histogram equalization (FpGAHE) is proposed to improve the quality of an image, in particular the low quality of a microscopic image. Two stages have been considered in this technique. In the first stage, a fuzzy partition is developed to handle the inconsistency of the gray level values of the images by introducing a fuzzy set. In the second stage, surrounding neighborhood is employed to avoid the imbalance data and reduce the drastically changes of brightness values of the image. The performances are evaluated into two parts i.e., image processing and image classification by using the collected microscopic images of fungi species. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, the existing techniques, AHE and AGC is compared to the FpGAHE. In image processing, the result attained shows that the proposed technique has a better performance by obtaining the highest value for the PSNR, SSIM and FSIM evaluation for the species of A. terreus in clean condition. Meanwhile, in image classification, five different nearest neighbor classifiers have been tested. The results show the proposed FpGAHE with Improved Fuzzy-Based k Nearest Centroid Neighbor (IFkNCN) classifier perform the best result compare to other nearest neighbor classifier by obtaining the value of 92.59 and 93.95 for the salt and pepper and Gaussian noise corrupted images respectively.
