An Exploration of Bank Confirmation Process Automation: A Longitudinal Study
Authors: Caster Paul , Elder Randal J. , Janvrin Diane J.
Published: October 2020

This exploratory study examines automation of the bank confirmation process using a longitudinal dataset from the largest third-party U.S. confirmation service provider, supplemented with informal interviews with practitioners. We find a significant increase in electronic confirmation use in the U.S. and internationally. Errors requiring reconfirmation were less than 2 percent of all electronic confirmations. Errors made by auditors were almost five times more likely than errors by bank employees. Most auditor errors involved use of an invalid account number, although invalid client contact, invalid request, and invalid company name errors increased recently. Big 4 auditors made significantly more confirmation errors than did auditors at non-Big 4 national firms. Error rates and error types do not vary between confirmations initiated in the U.S. and those initiated internationally. Three themes emerged for future research: authentication of evidence, global differences in technology use, and technology adoption across firms of different sizes.

Objectives

To compare the dental and skeletal treatment effects after total arch distalization using modified C-palatal plates (MCPPs) on adolescent patients with hypo- and hyperdivergent Class II malocclusion.

Materials and Methods

The study group included 40 patients with Class II malocclusion (18 boys and 22 girls, mean age = 12.2 ± 1.4 years) treated with MCPPs. Fixed orthodontic treatment started with the distalizing process in both groups. Participants were divided into hypo- or hyperdivergent groups based on their pretreatment Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FMA) ≤22° or ≥28°, respectively. Pre- and posttreatment lateral cephalograms were digitized, and 23 variables were measured and compared for both groups using paired and independent t-tests.

Results

The hyper- and hypodivergent groups showed 2.7 mm and 4.3 mm of first molar crown distalizing movement, respectively (P < .001). The hypodivergent group had a slight 2.2° crown distal tipping of first molars compared with 0.3° in the hyperdivergent group. After distalization, the FMA increased 3.1° and 0.3°, in the hypodivergent and hyperdivergent groups, respectively (P < .001). SNA decreased in the hypodivergent group, while other skeletal variables presented no statistically significant differences in the changes between the groups.

Conclusions

The hypodivergent group showed more distal and tipping movement of the maxillary first molar and increased FMA than the hyperdivergent group. Therefore, clinicians must consider vertical facial types when distalizing molars using MCPPs in Class II nonextraction treatment.

Published: October 2020

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have become the foremost prevalent metal oxide materials for technological applications due to their tunable optical properties. However, a simple, cheap and green method is required for the mass production of these nanostructures. In the present investigation ball-milling technique was used to tune the band gap of ZnO nanocrystallites. Samples were synthesized using metallic Zn powder and distilled water via wet-milling followed by dry-milling. The crystallite size of the ZnO samples were determined in the range of 24.9 – 22.0 nm depending on the dry milling time. UV-vis absorbance measurements and Kubelka-Munk theory were used to calculate the band gap of the ZnO nanocrystallites. The energy band gap of the samples was successfully tuned in the range of 3.15 - 3.02 eV depending on the nanocrystallite size. This behavior was explained by the surface states and energy traps on the band edge, created by delocalization of molecular orbitals.

Bu çalışmada tek silindirli, port enjeksiyon sistemine sahip homojen dolgulu sıkıştırma ile ateşlemeli motor kullanılmıştır. Düşük basınçlı port enjektöründen referans n-heptan ve tetrahidrofuran-n-heptan karışım yakıtları püskürtülerek, emme ve sıkıştırma zamanı boyunca homojen bir karışım hazırlanmıştır. Silindir içi basınç, ısı dağılımı, yanma başlangıcı, CA50, yanma süresi, indike termik verim, maksimum basınç artış oranı analizi yapılmış ve hidrokarbon ve karbonmonoksit emisyonları belirlenmiştir. Aşırı fakir karışım şartlarında tüm test yakıtları ile silindir içi basınç ve ısı dağılımı azalmıştır. Referans n-heptan yakıtına tetrahidrofuran ilave edilmesi yanma süreçlerinin kontrol edilebilmesini sağlamıştır. En yüksek indike termik verim lambdanın 1.9 olduğu şartlarda TFH60 yakıtı ile %38.14 olarak kaydedilmiştir. N-heptan yakıtına tetrahidrofuran ilavesi yanmayı yavaşlatmıştır. Böylece düşük sıcaklık yanması daha uzun sürede tamamlanmıştır. Aşırı fakir çalışma şartlarında n-heptan-tetrahidrofuran yakıt karışımlarının hidrokarbon ve karbonmonoksit emisyonları referans yakıta göre artış göstermiştir. En yüksek kirletici emisyonlar THF60 yakıtı ile elde edilmiştir. Referans yakıta göre hidrokarbon ve karbonmonoksit ortalama %8.3 ve %54 oranında artmıştır.
Pinocchios hjerte: En kantiansk lesning av historien om tredukken som ville bli et ekte menneske
Authors: Hugaas Jon Vegard
Published: October 2020

This chapter offers a closer reading of Collodi’s Pinocchio (2002) through the lens of Kant’s moral philosophy. It explores how the story thematizes important moral aspects of growing up, and it considers the story’s suitability in moral education. The first parts offer an analysis of Pinocchio against the backdrop of a short outline of central ideas in Kant’s account of the human condition. This shows how Collodi’s story evolves around two central questions: What is required in order to be a moral agent, and how does one become a morally good agent? The next part shows that Collodi’s own answers to these two questions support the claim that Pinocchio is a “Bildungsroman” and that the conception of moral development in the story is Kantian. The final parts address the challenge of the moral paradox to the possibility of moral education and argues the suitability of Pinocchio in moral education as a basis for interpretation of life from a child’s perspective.
Moralsk mangfold, oppvekst og livstolkning – et evolusjonspsykologisk perspektiv
Authors: Norheim Dag
Published: October 2020

In this article, I discuss the challenges of moral diversity in Norwegian public school from the perspective of Jonathan Haidt’s moral foundations theory. I take my cue from Haidt’s distinction between individualistic and sociocentric societies and discuss some implications of this distinction with regard to the introduction of the new curriculum (fagfornyelsen, in Norwegian). I argue that the subject curriculum is rooted in a morality that is characteristic of what Haidt refers to as WEIRD societies (i.e. Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rational, Democracies). My thesis is that this moral matrix rests on cultural assumptions that differ substantially from those of immigrant pupils in Norwegian schools. The particularities of sociocentric moral matrices seem to fall in the blind zone of the subject curriculum. Yet it is important that the school system acknowledge its role in the creation of a community to which every pupil might experience an allegiance. In order to create a shared value foundation, teachers need to be aware of pupils’ affiliations to different moral matrices. Thus, we need to rethink what moral socialization means in a multicultural society.

Published: October 2020

Digitaalisuus ja esineiden Internet (IoT) edellyttävät rakennemuutoksen yhteiskunnassamme. Rakennemuutos näkyy hoitoalalla muuttuvana työnkuvana ja teknologian käytön lisääntymisenä. Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon ammattilaisten osaaminen on jatkuvassa muutoksessa. Osaamistarpeisiin vaikuttavat ammattien tietoperustasta nousevat sisäiset ja ammattien toimintaympäristöissä tapahtuvat lyhyen ja pitkän aikavälin muutokset. Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon palvelurakenneuudistukseen sisältyvä asiakkaan ja potilaan valinnanvapaus sekä palveluiden tarjoajien ja toteuttajien monimuotoistuminen luovat ulkoisia odotuksia ammatilliselle osaamiselle. Tässä artikkelissa Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology -mallin tekijöiden avulla koottiin tietoa hoitajien ja opiskelijoiden asenteista teknologiaa kohtaan kotihoidon kontekstissa. Lisäksi koottiin tietoa odotuksista ja hyödyistä, joita hyvinvointiteknologian odotetaan tuovan iäkkäiden henkilöiden arkeen kotona ja kotihoidon asiakkaina. Tutkimuksessa etsittiin vastausta kysymykseen: Miten sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon opiskelijat ja ammattilaiset asennoituvat hyvinvointiteknologian käyttöön kotihoidossa? Aineistonkeruu toteutettiin WelTech-hankkeen (Hyvinvointiteknologian koulutustuote: käyttöönoton ja käytön koulutus) koulutuksien yhteydessä. Hankkeessa kehitettiin ja toteutettiin koulutuskokonaisuuksia sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollossa työskentelevälle hoitohenkilöstölle ja alan opiskelijoille. Tuloksissa nähdään myönteinen asenne hyvinvointiteknologia kohtaa, vaikka työpaikoilla ei vastaajien mielestä ole kannustettu hyvinvointiteknologian käyttöön. Vastaajat arvioivat hyvinvointiteknologian tulevaisuudessa tehostavan työtä, vaikka konkreettisempien vaikutusten, esimerkiksi virheiden vähenemiseen tai laadun kehittymiseen sen ei arvioitu vaikuttavan. Vastausten perusteella sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon työyksiköissä tulee entistä selkeämmin tukea hyvinvointiteknologian mahdollisuuksien käyttöönottoa tai kehittämistä.
El ciclo de las políticas como enfoque teórico y metodológico para el estudio de programas de terminalidad educativa en Argentina: recepción y puesta en acto del Plan FinEs
Authors: Correa Mariana Elsa
Published: October 2020

En las últimas décadas, los Estados de América Latina han llevado adelante procesos de reforma orientados a promover una educación inclusiva y de calidad desde un enfoque de derecho. En Argentina, la preocupación por la finalización de la educación secundaria, y con ella el cumplimiento de la obligatoriedad escolar de los y las jóvenes, motorizó la creación de programas a término, propuestas estatales orientadas a sectores que por diversos motivos nunca estuvieron en la escuela, asistieron a ella de forma intermitente oabandonaron sin concluir el nivel. El artículo se enmarca en una investigación cualitativaque problematiza la puesta en acto de dos programas de terminalidad en la provincia de La Pampa (Argentina): el Plan FinEs y el Programa Vos Podes. En el escrito se presentan algunas claves metodológicas y conceptuales de Stephen Ball para el estudio del Plan FinEs. Se plantea que estudiar la puesta en acto del programa implica no solo analizar los textos producidos en las instancias nacional y jurisdiccional y sus procesos de elaboración y reelaboración; sino también problematizar los efectos que genera la traducción de la política en el contexto de la práctica. Así, entre las conclusiones, se advierte que el sostenimiento del programa, en su cotideaneidad escolar, es vivenciado por coordinadores, directivos y docentes como una “tarea artesanal” en la que con escasos recursos humanos y materiales se acompaña las trayectorias educativas de quienes asisten.

TANGGUNG JAWAB KEJAHATAN PERBANKAN MELALUI MODUS OPERANDI SKIMMING
Authors: Linggoraharjo Victoria
Published: October 2020

Bank is a financial institution, which primary function includes collecting and granting deposits to the public based on fiduciary principle. The development of information technology has shifted financial products and services into electronic-based products and services, making money management easier than before. One of the electronic banking products, an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) is operated by a financial institution, allowing customers to perform financial transactions. However, the information age shows that ATM skimming has become a rising threat. Skimming is a crime that occurs when skimmers install skimming devices on ATM machines in order to steal debit or credit card information. Skimming is done by surreptitiously installing a device at ATMs to record pin card data using magnetic strips. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze which party is liable as a result of ATM skimming.

The result of this study shows that BCA is liable for the loss caused to its customers due to unauthorized withdrawals, considering Article 1367 of the Indonesia Civil Code states that a financial institution is responsible for the damage caused by matters which are under its supervision, that is, an ATM machine. Skimming is a criminal act in the banking sector that not only contravenes Banking Law, but also Criminal Law and Information and Electronic Transactions Law. Therefore, skimmer or fraudster is subject to Article 263 jo. Article 362 of the Criminal Code and/ or Article 30 (3) jo. Article 46 of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law.

Automated classification of Variants of Norwegian by Means of Text Mining of Unannotated Text. This article presents a model for automatically classifying different variants of modern Norwegian Language (bokmål and nynorsk ranging from 1930 to 2011) by means of data mining unannotated text. The model is built in the Orange visual programming interface, and is based on a modification of an example model presented by the project which had the original purpose of semantical classification of fairy tale types in the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index. The core modules of the model are Bag-of-Words and Logistic Regression. The model is trained with four different translations of the Gospel of John, and cross validated with various random texts. The model is proven to be very sound for classification of Norwegian language variation, and yields correct classification in 100% of the realistic tests.

Published: October 2020

The Jungian Archetypes and the Conflict with the Double Self in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The current paper analyzes Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from a psychoanalytical perspective. The analysis presents the Jungian perspective of collective unconscious that proposes the existence of several archetypes that inhabit the mind of every human as a set of repeating patterns. The focus of the paper is put on the Archetypes of Shadow, Ego and Persona that appear in the psyche of the protagonist, Dr. Jekyll. The paper explains the manifestation of the schizoid personality in Dr. Jekyll’s psyche. Jekyll’s relationship with his double-self is presented as the main cause of Dr. Jekyll’s failure to individuate and unify all the Archetypes of his psyche.

Yugoslavian Shepherd Dog - Sharplanina (YSD) is a livestock guard dog from the Western Balkans present in this region over a long time, but recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as a distinct breed as late as 1957. However, the information regarding the origin and the size of the breed’s foundation stock is still lacking. In order to contribute towards better understanding of the genetic make-up of the YSD and its foundation stock, we re-analyzed previously generated genetic profiles of 94 registered YSD dogs assessed with nine nuclear microsatellites. Studied individuals comprised 90 unrelated dogs and two pairs of full-sibs, sampled at four sampling sites: three dog shows and at a military training centre for dogs in Serbia. We supported earlier findings on high levels of genetic diversity in YSD (HE
=0.728±0.027) and lack of inbreeding, and revealed substructure of the breed because we found two distinct gene pools in the Bayesian clustering analysis, indicated also by the excess of homozygotes (i.e., Wahlund effect) and outcomes of other analyses: linkage disequilibrium tests, Neighbour-Joining tree, principal coordinates and two-dimensional scaling analyses. The two gene pools were almost equally represented at each sampling site. One gene pool was composed of individuals with high genetic integrity, while the other gene pool was characterized with admixed ancestry, developed possibly via hybridization with native breeding stock outside the registry system, other breeds, such as the Caucasian Shepherd, and/or individuals admixed with wolves. Thus, we demonstrate rather complex and diverse ancestry implying a genetically heterogeneous foundation stock of the YSD.

Published: October 2020

Apart from the efficiency of coumaphos against Varroa mites, its impact on the oxidative status and survival of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) was assessed. The research was conducted on hives from the same apiary, equalised regarding the number of bees, brood area and food storage. Based on Varroa infestation the hives were allotted to two groups: non-infested (N) and infested (I). Both groups were either treated (T) – NT and IT, or untreated (U) – NU and IU. The treatment of infested bees was controlled with a follow-up treatment with amitraz. The efficiency of coumaphos was 96-97%. This organophosphate had a negligible effect on bee survival, but it significantly affected their oxidative status: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities, and the concentrations of malonyl dialdehyde (MDA). Coumaphos significantly (p˂0.0001) decreased SOD activity in non-infested bees, but increased it in those infested. By contrast, both CAT and GST activities, as well as MDA concentrations significantly increased (from p˂0.05 to p˂0.0001) after treatment in all groups, with the exception of IT, where it declined. Coumaphos in non-infested hives caused oxidative stress per se, not unlike varroa in infested colonies. However, in infested colonies it decreased oxidative stress, owing to its efficacy against Varroa mites and contributed to the recovery of bee colonies. In spite of its certain downsides, coumaphos remains an effective anti-varroa substance, but should be used with precaution, not to add to the effects of environmental factors which may cause red-ox misbalance.

In this work, we have prepared new materials of the nickel sulfide thin films by using the spray pyrolysis technique for promising co-catalyst to improve the photocatalytic performance or superconductivity. The effect of deposition temperature (523, 573 and 623 K) on structural, optical and electrical properties was investigated. The XRD diffraction shows that the prepared nickel sulfide at 523, 573 and 623 K having an orthorhombic, hexagonal and hexagonal structure, which were Ni3S2, Ni17S18 and NiS2, respectively. The minimum value of crystallite size (45,9 nm) was measured of deposited film at 573K. The thin films prepared at 523 and 573 K have an average transmittance is about 20 %. The prepared Ni1S2 thin film at T=623 K has the lowest calculated optical band gap and Urbach energy. The Ni1S2 thin film also has the best calculated of the refractive index and the extinction coefficient. The FTIR spectrums of the nickel sulfide have various bands such as Ni-S, C-H, O-H, N–H and C-S. The maximum electrical conductivity is 4,29x105 (Ω.cm)−1 was obtained at 573K of the Ni17S18. The nickel sulfide thin films sprayed at 573K have good structural, optical and electrical properties.

Authors: Fripertinger Harald , Reich Ludwig
Published: October 2020

In this paper we describe families of commuting invertible formal power series in one indeterminate over ℂ, using the method of formal functional equations. We give a characterization of such families where the set of multipliers (first coefficients) σ of its members F (x) = σx + . . . is infinite, in particular of such families which are maximal with respect to inclusion, so called families of type I. The description of these families is based on Aczél–Jabotinsky differential equations, iteration groups, and on some results on normal forms of invertible series with respect to conjugation.

Pectinase hydrolyses pectin and increases the utilization of agriculture byproducts as feeds for ruminants. A newly developed pectinase from Aspergillus terreus was compared with a commercially available pectinase at 600 IU/kg feed on feed utilization and lactational performance of Damascus goat fed orange pulp and sugar beet pulp based diet (i.e., pectin-rich diet) for 12 weeks. Thirty (one week postpartum) Damascus goats stratified by previous milk production, body weight and parity were divided into three experimental groups. Does were fed a basal diet containing concentrates, orange silage, sugar beet pulp and wheat straw at 50:20:20:10, respectively without a supplement (control treatment) or supplemented with a newly developed pectinase (New treatment) or commercial pectinase (Commercial treatment). With similar (P>0.05) feed intake, the new pectinase increased (P<0.01) nutrient digestibility and milk production efficiency more than the other treatments. Out of all the blood parameters, only serum glucose was affected by the treatments with highest (P=0.025) value noted for the new pectinase. Similarly, the new pectinase increased daily milk production (P<0.005) and the concentrations of milk components compared to the other two treatments. Additionally, pectinase (both the commercial and new) inclusion increased (P<0.05) the concentrations of total conjugated linoleic acid and unsaturated/saturated fatty acids ratio, and decreased atherogenic index (P=0.01) compared with control treatment. It is concluded that the supplementation of the diet of lactating goats with pectinase at 600 IU/kg feed will enhance feed digestion and milk production. The newly developed pectinase performed better than the commercial pectinase.

Iron deficiency is the most common mammalian nutritional deficiency during the neonatal period. However, among mammalian species neonatal iron deficiency anemia (IDA), the most severe consequence of iron scarcity, occurs regularly in pigs. Although intramuscular supplementation of piglets with high amounts of iron dextran (FeDex) is largely considered an appropriate preventive therapy for IDA prophylaxis, an increasing evidence shows that it negatively affects pig physiology. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive supplementation of piglets with sucrosomial ferric pyrophosphate (SFP), a highly bioavailable dietary iron supplement in preventing IDA, in humans and mice. Results of our study show that SFP given to piglets per os in the amount of 6 mg Fe daily efficiently counteracts IDA at a rate comparable with the traditional FeDex-based supplementation (100 mgFe/kG b.w.; i.m. injection). This was indicated by physiological values of red blood cell indices and plasma iron parameters measured in 28-day old piglets. Moreover, SFP-supplemented piglets showed significantly lower (P ≤0.05) plasma level of 8-isoprostane, a biomarker for oxidative stress compared to FeDex-treated animals, implying lesser toxicity of this order of iron replenishment. Finally, supplementation with SFP does not increase considerably the blood plasma hepcidin, a peptide that acts to inhibit iron absorption from the diet. SFP emerges as a promising nutritional iron supplement, with a high potential to be adopted in the postnatal period.

The aim of this study was to determine whether dietary supplementation with zinc oxide nanoparticales (NP-ZnO) as a substitute for the conventional ZnO affects the intestinal digestibility of selected minerals, growth performance and meat quality in turkeys. The replacement of ZnO with NP-ZnO had no effect on the intestinal digestibility of Zn, Cu, Fe and Ca, whereas the lowest dose of supplemental Zn reduced Zn digestibility. The applied inclusion levels and sources of Zn had no effect on the growth performance (except the feed intake) of turkeys, including liveability. No differences in the relative weights of the heart, spleen and bursa of Fabricius (except the liver), or the weights of the femur and tibia were found between the dietary treatments. Neither the dose nor the source of supplemental Zn influenced carcass dressing percentage or the share of breast, thigh and drumstick muscles in the carcass. In comparison with the highest and moderate doses of Zn, the lowest inclusion level of Zn contributed to increased yellowness of breast meat (P=0.005). The analyzed doses and sources of supplemental Zn exerted varied effects on the redox status of fresh and frozen breast meat. In conclusion, the growth performance of turkeys, carcass yield and composition as well as the redox status of fresh and frozen breast meat were generally similar, regardless of the dietary source and level of Zn. The beneficial effect of Zn addition at 100 mg/kg was improved Zn and Ca digestibility, and increased redness of breast meat.

In recent years, studying Lorentz’s force has become a possible good means to control the spacecraft to reduce the fuel cost by modulating spacecraft electrostatic charge (magnetic and electric fields). The generation of Lorentz force is finite by the natural magnetic field and the relative velocity of the spacecraft. Therefore, the Lorentz force cannot fully occur from conventional propulsion technologies. Previous studies are concerned with studying Lorentz’s strength in the magnetic field only.

In this work, we developed a mathematical model for a new technique establishing a raise in the level of charging in the spacecraft surface that is moving in the Earth’s magnetic field and provided by modulating spacecraft’s electrostatic charge that induces acceleration via the Lorentz force. The acceleration will be used to find the relationship between capacitance and power required to minimize the consumption of control energy used in such cases or to replace the usual control thruster by Lorentz force.

Fiber injection molding is an innovative approach for the manufacturing of nonwoven preforms but products currently lack a homogeneous fiber distribution. Based on a mold-integrated monitoring system, the uniformity of the manufactured preforms will be investigated. As no universally accepted definition or method for measuring uniformity is accepted yet, this article aims to find a suitable uniformity index for evaluating fiber injection molded nonwovens. Based on a literature review, different methods are implemented and used to analyze simulated images with given distribution properties, as well as images of real nonwovens. This study showed that quadrant-based methods are suitable for evaluating the basis weight uniformity. It has been found that the indexes are influenced by the number of quadrants. Changes in sample size do not affect the indexes when keeping the quadrant number constant. The quadrants-based calculation of the coefficient of variation showed the best suitability as it shows good robustness and steady index for varying degrees of fiber distribution.

The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of (Cubic Pm-3m, Hexagonal-4H, orthorhombic Pnma, and orthorhombic Pbnm) phases of AFeF3 Fluorides (A = Cs, Na, and Rb) are reported theoretically using full potential linearized augmented plane waves method within the density functional theory (DFT). Using different exchange–correlation approximations including the generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA, WC-GGA, and PBEsol-GGA), also (GGA) with Hubbard potential (GGA + U) and The modified Becke Johnson potential (mBJ), we carried to determine various physical properties. The Calculations revealing that the estimated structural parameters are reliable with the experimentally reported data. Magnetically all these intermetallics are Ferromagnetic (FM). The ground-state energy of different magnetic phases studied showed that the magnetic moments are evaluated per atom, and overestimated by (GGA+U). Transfer charge reveals a strong covalent interaction between Fe-Fe atoms. Their electronic band structure and density of states indicate insulator behavior.

Taraxacum officinale F.H. Wigg (Asteraceae) root is traditionally used to treat diabetes, dyspepsia, heartburn, anorexia and hepatitis. In this work, petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and aqueous extracts of T. officinale root were evaluated for their antidiabetic activity in normoglycemic and alloxan-induced diabetic mice at two concentrations (200 and 400 mg/kg) using antidiabetic and subcutaneous glucose tolerance tests. Herein, in vitro glucose uptake assay was performed using HepG2 and 2-NDBG, while LC-MS/MS was employed for the phytochemical study of the main active constituents in the active extract. In the experiments, T. officinale root aqueous extract (400 mg/kg) showed a significant decrement in blood glucose level (62.33%, p ≤0.05), while other extracts (p >0.05) showed insignificant activity – in alloxan-induced diabetic mice with no apparent effect on the normoglycemic model. The extracts also showed an insignificant reduction in glucose levels (p >0.05) in the subcutaneous glucose tolerance test. However, a significant glucose uptake enhancement (149.6724%, p ≤0.05) was exhibited by the aqueous extract. Phytochemical study of the aqueous extract showed higher total phenolic than total flavonoid content, in which chlorogenic acid, protocatechuic acid, and luteolin-7-glucoside were identified.

The growth, gut ecology and immunocompetence of Oreochromis niloticus and the resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila were investigated after been fed with diets containing dietary Curcumin longa for 12 weeks. Diets were formulated to contain 30% crude protein with diet TC1, TC2, TC3, TC4 and TC5 having 0% (control), 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% turmeric powder, respectively. Diets were allotted to groups of O. niloticus (mean weight of 1.29± 0.15 g) and replicated thrice for 84 days. Results showed that the highest mean final weight (4.79±0.04 g) was obtained in TC3 and corresponded to the treatment with the highest feed intake. A significantly high (p<0.05) specific growth rate (SGR) was observed in TC3 (0.73±0.03 %day−1) while TC4 (0.57±0.02 %day−1) gave the lowest value. The highest microbial load in the gut was observed in TC1 groups and the least in TC4 groups. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, packed cell volume did not show significant variation (p>0.05) across treatments. However, white blood cell (WBC) count was significantly higher in TC1 (control). There was an improved immunocompetence, as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) progressively reduces in fish fed supplements. Similarly, there was a better oxidative response in the treated groups with reduced hydrogen peroxidase, increased total protein and glutathione peroxidase. Mortality ranged from 25% in TC4 to 95% in TC1 after the challenge test with A. hydrophila. This study showed that C. longa inclusion at 0.5% is more beneficial when growth and health status of O. niloticus juveniles are considered.
