Authors: Ismael Ayad Abdull-Khaleq , Raoof Abdulla Adill , Tahseen Yildiz Hasan
Published: November 2024

The diagnosis, staging, and prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) depend on the measurement of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). A low GFR is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and early mortality. Current guidelines for CKD recommend using cystatin C as a supplementary test to ensure accurate estimation of eGFR. In the present study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of cystatin C-based eGFR with serum creatinine-based eGFR before and after contrast-enhanced intravenous urography (IVU). The present study is a retrospective observational study conducted in 51 patients aged 10 to 70 years. Of these patients, 21 were female and 30 were male, all of whom had kidney diseases and attended the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022. In this study, we evaluated the serum levels of urea, creatinine, and cystatin C before and after administering iodine solution to each participant. The study found no significant changes in blood urea and serum creatinine levels before and after administering the iodine solution. However, there was a significant variation in the levels of cystatin C. The levels of eGFR-dependent creatinine did not differ significantly, but there were significant changes in eGFR-dependent cystatin levels. Our findings suggest that cystatin C is a more accurate method of monitoring kidney function compared to creatinine levels. Additionally, cystatin C appears to be a more reliable marker of renal failure than serum creatinine and urea.

A Linguagem na Educação: um diálogo entre as ideias de Lev Vygotsky e Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Ribeiro Edilayne Marjori
Published: November 2024

A linguagem foi, por muito tempo, vista como importante apenas em seu aspecto estrutural, ou seja, linguístico, sistemático e centralizado em teoria – sem prática. Isso começou a se transformar quando foi possível percebê-la através das relações com o ser humano, com o outro e com a educação. Este artigo tem, portanto, o objetivo de explicar este processo através das ideias de dois grandes autores desses temas: Lev Vygotsky e Paul Ricoeur, bem como outros estudiosos que perpassaram por eles. Foram criadas, para essas explicações, três categorias para aprofundamento: a linguagem e a fala; a linguagem e o outro; a linguagem e a educação. Com isso, buscou-se relacionar o que suas ideias tinham em comum e de que forma podem contribuir para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, as relações professor e aluno e outros pontos da educação levando em consideração a linguagem como constituição do ser humano.

Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho discorre acerca de desafios e perspectivas para o estudante com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) na Educação Básica ensino regular. O método utilizado é o da revisão narrativa de literatura. Para tanto, define-se o TEA e suas principais características, Plano de Ensino Individualizado (PEI), práticas baseadas em evidências (PBEs) e Análise do Comportamento Aplicada (ABA). Concluímos que a educação do estudante com TEA carece de individualização e de metodologias baseadas em evidências científicas para que ocorra de fato a sua escolarização, conforme previsto na legislação e nas políticas de inclusão. As práticas baseadas em evidências são essenciais para desenvolver programas de ensino em que todos os profissionais de educação desenvolvam as suas práticas de ensino pautadas nos mesmos objetivos de acordo com as necessidades individualizadas de cada estudante. Em suma, ainda há muito a avançar desde o conhecimento sobre o transtorno quanto a práticas baseadas em evidências cientificas no efetivo atendimento dos direitos do estudante com TEA.

Digital Accents, Homogeneity-by-Design, and the Evolving Social Science of Written Language
Authors: Alvero AJ , Sedlacek Quentin , León Maricela , Peña Courtney
Published: November 2024

Human language is increasingly written rather than spoken, primarily due to the proliferation of digital technology in modern life. This trend has enabled the creation of generative AI trained on corpora containing trillions of words extracted from text on the internet. However, current language theory inadequately addresses digital text communication's unique characteristics and constraints. This paper systematically analyzes and synthesizes existing literature to map the theoretical landscape of digital language evolution. The evidence demonstrates that, parallel to spoken language, features of written communication are frequently correlated with the demographic identities of writers, a phenomenon we refer to as ``digital accents''. This conceptualization raises complex ontological questions about the nature of digital text and its relationship to identity. The same line of questioning, in conjunction with recent research, shows how generative AI systematically fails to capture the breadth of expression observed in human writing, an outcome we call ``homogeneity-by-design''. By approaching text-based language from this theoretical framework while acknowledging its inherent limitations, social scientists studying language can strengthen their critical analysis of artificial intelligence systems and contribute meaningful insights to their development and improvement.

This research aims to explore the factors that cause children's lack of learning independence at RA Darul Fikri Bandung. Learning independence is the ability that children have to manage and direct the child's learning process without depending on other people. In discussing early childhood education, children's independence is very important in children's cognitive, emotional and social development. This research uses a qualitative approach with interview and observation methods with RA Darul Fikri Bandung teachers. Semi-structured interviews are a method used to collect data from teachers regarding their views and practices in developing children's independence in learning at school. The research results show that the lack of children's independence in learning at RA Darul Fikri is caused by several factors, one of which is that the teaching methods used do not support children's independence, excessive parental intervention towards children and a lack of opportunities for children to take the initiative in ongoing learning. The recommendations that researchers offer to increase children's independence during learning are training for teachers and parents, as well as adapting learning methods to students' conditions so as to provide lots of space for children to continue practicing independence. It is hoped that these findings can provide valuable

Snakes are one of the most common subjects of
extreme fear and phobia among human beings. The
medical term for fear of snake is ophidiophobia. It
can cause a person to have extreme high level of
fear and anxiety. This research was conducted to
ascertain the reasons and causes of ophidiophobia
about Kaltungo, whether it is due to verbal
information, social learning or evolutionary. The
study was conducted in Kaltungo town where the
north-eastern snakebite treatment and research
center is located. The study population consists of
school children of various primary and secondary
schools within the town, students of higher schools
of learning as well as other members of the town
who were either born in the town or migrated but
are staying in Kaltungo. The procedure for data
collection was questionnaire survey research, so a
qualitative research method was used. The study
reveals that Kaltungo harbors varieties of snakes. It
shows that those with the fear of snake experience
in Kaltungo have the tendency of having
Ophidiophobia. Ophidiophobia is prevalent in
Kaltungo, and the impression and fear people have
about snakes in the town is as a result of the
information people acquire on social media or
warnings from loved ones, as well as hearing about
other people‟s experiences. Hence, we conclude
that ophidiophobia in Kaltungo is caused by verbal
information and social learning.

Authors: Ubia Uduak S. , Udofia Kufre M. , Obot Akaninyene B.
Published: November 2024

The development of fifth generation
(5G) and beyond wireless technology necessitated
advancements in antenna design to meet the highfrequency requirements and bandwidth demands of
millimetre-wave (mm-Wave) communications.
This research focused on the design and
performance analysis of a reconfigurable mmWave antenna tailored for 5G applications,
specifically targeting frequencies at 26, 28, and 30
GHz. Three single-band microstrip antennas were
designed, simulated, and analysed based on
fundamental antenna parameters, including return
loss, VSWR, radiation pattern, directivity, and
gain. The proposed antenna features a
reconfigurable mechanism utilizing diodes to
switch between different operational states, thereby
modifying the antenna's bandwidth and
performance characteristics. Inductance of 0.5 nH
and resistance of 1Ω as well as 1 MΩ resistance
were used for both ON and OFF states,
respectively. When the diode was activated (ON
state), the antenna achieved a bandwidth of 2.56
GHz. Conversely, in the OFF state, the antenna
provided a slightly reduced bandwidth of 2.23
GHz. This reconfigurability allowed the antenna to
dynamically adapt to varying communication
scenarios and frequency requirements, enhancing
its versatility and effectiveness in 5G networks.
The design incorporated metamaterial and precise
design to ensure optimal performance across the
specified frequency bands. Performance metrics,
including return loss, gain, and radiation patterns,
have been meticulously analysed to validate the
antenna's suitability for high-speed, high-frequency
5G applications. Overall, the reconfigurable mmWave antenna demonstrated significant potential in
improving the adaptability and efficiency of 5G
wireless communication systems, offering robust
performance across multiple key frequency bands
with considerable bandwidths in both diode states.

Authors: OYE Olorunfemi Charles
Published: November 2024

The study examined the implementation of due
process policy on public building projects, the level
of adherence and the involvement of professionals
in procurement procedures in Ondo State.
Structured questionnaires were administered on
respondents and purposive sampling method were
used to select the respondents. Descriptive
analytical tools such as percentage, frequency
distribution table and inferential tool such as Chisquare were used to analyze the data collected from
the field. The results showed that the due process
policy is not adequately implemented and the
objectives of the policy are not achieved to the
letter. Hypothesis one presents chi-square, χ
2
results give 1116.4 at df = 4, χ
2 > 9.488 ; for
each level of adherence; this implies that level of
adherence to due process has effect in the award of
contracts in Ondo State. Hypothesis two reveals the
summation of all chi-square, χ
2
results as 628.63
at df = 4, χ
2 > 9.488 ; for each area of
professional involvement, this implied that
involvement of professionals in procurement
procedure has significant effect on public building
projects. Hypothesis three shows that the
implementation of due process policy has
significant effect on the outcome of public building
projects. The research revealed that, most states in
Nigeria have strong apathy and unwillingness to
subscribe to the policy due to chronic corrupt
tendencies within the government who are averse
to change and mostly, the knowledge gap on their
expectations of public procurement law regimes.
Hence, there is a need to insulate the procurement
decisions from political interference and setting up
of the state council on public procurement so as to
allow it discharge it legitimate roles.

Published: November 2024

The daily increase in the number of
users on the network is causing a surge in network
traffic, highlighting the importance of monitoring
both user activity and network traffic to ensure
smooth network operations. Monitoring network
activity is challenging due to the large volume of
packets on the network. Packet sniffing is a
technique used to observe various network
activities and identify vulnerabilities, enabling
network administrators to bolster network security.
This process involves inspecting data transmitted
by other users on the network and is applicable to
both switched and non-switched networks. Packet
sniffers can function as administrative tools or be
misused for malicious intent, depending on the
user's goals. Sniffing can reveal passwords used in
network connections such as Telnet, login, and
FTP, as well as examine and capture packets
traversing the network without modifying them. It
decodes captured packets, allowing network
administrators to interpret, analyze, and extract
valuable information from packet content.
Wireshark is an open-source network
packet analyzer that can be employed to evaluate
traffic, data packets, and their influence on network
behavior. With its user-friendly graphical interface
and support for numerous protocols, Wireshark is a
versatile tool for network troubleshooting, security
analysis, and protocol development. It also
provides advanced features such as real-time packet
capture, deep packet inspection, customizable
filters, and precise network behavior analysis.

One of the most stressful elements of automotive engines are connecting rod bearings. Up to 25% of the failures of KAMAZ engines are caused by the turning of the connecting rod inserts due to a violation of the geometric shape due to the stress-strain state. It has been experimentally determined that the compressive stresses at the end of the liner reach the yield point when its surface is at least 55-60% of the thickness of the liner. In the absence of a safety chamfer, the total compression stresses on the inner side of the middle section of the liner exceed the yield strength by 20-25%. Thus, despite the simple constructive and technological solution to the issue of the liner fuse in the form of a chamfer, it is characterized by limited capabilities. Firstly, the fuse performs its main purpose mainly during the operating period, beyond which the protrusion and, consequently, the effectiveness of the fuse significantly decreases. Secondly, such a fuse only reduces the deflection of the liner along the generatrix, and does not eliminate it completely during operation. Due to plastic deformation in the initial (pre-production) period of engine operation, the liner tension (protrusion up to 75-80 microns) and total stresses (up to 200 MPa) are significantly reduced. As a result, a primary deflection is formed. The intensity of the tension reduction during this period is directly proportional to the magnitude of the initial protrusion. Increasing the thickness of the inserts by 20% (up to 3.0 mm) reduces the average deflection value by 20%. The use of a retainer reduces the average deflection of the liner by 7%. Reducing the protrusion (tension) of the liner from 120 microns to 80 microns reduced the average deflection by 43%. The use of safety chamfers at the joint of the inserts (up to 30% of the joint surface) reduces the average deflection by 12.5%. The most effective use of fuses in the form of slots in the steel base on the back side. The rational number of grooves: transverse – 13, longitudinal – 2, groove width – 2 mm, groove depth 1.5 mm (60% thickness). The use of such inserts reduces the average deflection of the inserts by 80% compared to standard inserts. The use of inserts with an improved steel base in trial operation allowed to reduce the number of failures by 20.8%, and increase the time to failure by 42.4%.

This article highlights the relevance of the research area in the field of food security. The analysis of the current state of the issue of crop conservation from synanthropic birds is carried out. The advantages of the electrophysical method of bird control as the basis of an integrated crop protection system based on an information and software package for effective protection of agricultural facilities from synanthropic birds are substantiated. The method of reducing the energy intensity of products is considered. An attempt has been made to apply a method for monitoring and managing energy consumption in systems for protecting agricultural facilities from synanthropic birds. At all times, the problem of achieving and maintaining food security has been a task, if not the first, then one of the main ones for our society. Agriculture is a major industry in both the regional and Russian economies. The share of agriculture in gross value added in Russia is about 5%. The share of employment in agriculture is about 9%. The volume of agricultural production is estimated at trillions of rubles per year. The leading branch of agriculture is crop production, which accounts for 56% of agricultural production. Crop protection from agricultural pests and diseases is of great practical importance for the successful conduct of economic activities in this industry. Agriculture annually loses up to 40% of its harvest from the action of pests, diseases and weeds. Currently, losses are increasing as a result of reduced consumption of pesticides and disruption of the centralized forecasting system for the timing and volume of protective measures.

This article discusses the issue of epidemiological safety management at enterprises. This problem of rodent control has been known for a long time and remains relevant to this day. Rodents tend to go to places where they are comfortable and stay there. Therefore, in order to achieve maximum effect in the fight against them, new and effective designs of modern technical means are needed. This article examines the rodent control system at the agro-industrial complex as part of the consumer energy system (PES). Prior to the introduction of energy technology processes (ETP) into consumer energy systems, the definition of energy intensity of products was reduced to the formal division of total energy consumption by the volume of output. The energy consumption regime was of interest only to suppliers. The non-consumer properties of energy were analyzed, and, one might say, the commodity distortion of indicators of which led to conflicting consumption. The mathematical apparatus of consumption is mainly limited to the integration of the power function. The advent of modern accurate reliable electric energy meters has weakened interest in the development of load analysis and mathematical apparatus. Along with this, the consumer properties of various types of energy, which determine the characteristics of its action on various environments and objects, have not been sufficiently studied. Keywords: aspect, magnitude, impulse, objects, electric current, rodents, efficiency, magnitude, energy saving, consumer energy system, relative energy intensity of the result, energy efficiency indicators, universal energy diagram. There are many examples of limited access to certain types of energy to create effective technologies in the agro-industrial complex, for example, a rodent control system using modern technical means.

This study examines the need for a progressive approach to the selection of energy equipment for protection at agricultural enterprises from synanthropic birds. This problem of scaring birds was born in ancient times and remains relevant to this day. Birds tend to go to places where they are comfortable and stay there. Therefore, new and effective designs of electric bird repellents are needed to achieve maximum effect. Currently, the territories of cities and their outskirts serve as a habitat not only for people and domestic animals, they are also a habitat for numerous species of wild birds. A specific bird fauna has formed in the settlements and in their vicinity. Its main features are a limited number of species and a large number of individuals. This is due to the fact that few bird species have been able to adapt to the specific living conditions in the city. However, those who were able to adapt found a favorable environment for rapid and mass reproduction in the city. The number of synanthropic birds in large cities reaches tens and hundreds of thousands of individuals. Synanthropic birds are wild birds that constantly live in the vicinity of humans or have found favorable nesting conditions in the territory of settlements and their surroundings. Many spheres of life of synanthropic birds are directly related to human activity, so the nutrition of synanthropes is anthropogenic, because their diet usually includes seeds of cultivated plants and all kinds of food waste. Different species of birds prevail in each region, but there are patterns characteristic of the entire territory of Russia. Almost everywhere, the main representatives of the synanthropic are house sparrows and blue pigeons. In the central part of the country, you can safely add a gray crow to this list. When moving towards the west, the number of crows decreases noticeably.

The article presents research data on the scientific and practical justification of the expediency of using chickpeas and its processed products in recipes of boiled sausages when creating functional meat products. The predominant share of vegetable protein supplements in the Russian market is represented by products of foreign companies. The Russian Federation has significant resources of plant-based protein-containing raw materials, but they are used in meat products technology in a limited way due to the lack of scientifically based recommendations on their use. When studying the issue of fortification of meat products with non-traditional protein ingredients based on plants, chickpea beans and its products are of interest. Due to its unique chemical composition, chickpea beans are a product with high nutritional and biological value, which includes complementary protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals (for example, selenium) and other biologically active components, which allows it to be used in formulations of functional meat products. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to study the chemical composition and nutritional properties of chickpea beans and products of its processing with the prospect of further use in sausage production technology. The research was carried out at the Department of Food Technologies of the Don State Agrarian University. Chickpeas of the Krasnokutsky 36 variety, the Russian Grain Company Russian Trade Organization (Russia), were used as the object of research. A formulation has been developed and a technology for the production of boiled sausages using a protein-carbohydrate complex based on flour from sprouted chickpea seeds has been proposed. The chemical composition and nutritional value of chickpea flour, combined with economic feasibility, make it possible to use it as a functional ingredient in the production of meat products.
