Post-harvest loss of plantain peeks at senescence. Drying senescent plantain enhances its culinary applications. This study aimed to determine the biochemical and functional properties of foam-mat dried senescent plantain samples, and their respective powdered mixes prepared for baking ofam (an Indigenous spicy cake). The nutritional benefits of foam-mat dried senescent plantain, with its high vitamin C and total carotenoid content, make it a valuable addition to dietary interventions. Foam-mat dried plantain samples and their respective powdered mixes were evaluated for their proximate composition, vitamin C, total carotenoids, amino acid contents, water and oil absorption capacities, and least gelation concentration using standard methods. The products were predominantly carbohydrates (73.3g - 80.4g/100g) with low moisture contents (9.19 - 20.68 g/100g). Vitamin C and total carotenoids ranged from 17.42 mg/100g to 33.99 mg/100g and 3.4 to 7.2 µg/g respectively. The samples had appreciable amounts of calcium (78.90 - 175.18 mg/100g), magnesium (112.13 - 113/79 mg/100g), potassium (95.76 - 77.09 mg/100g), iron (17.65 - 12.76 mg/100g) and zinc (10.94 - 15.82 mg/100 g). The most abundant amino acids were phenylalanine, histidine, methionine and aspartic acid. Sample SPPFSCF exhibited the best gelation capacity (22 g/100 mL). The water absorption capacities of the samples were influenced by the flour type used. However, the variations in the oil absorption capacities of the powdered mixes were statistically insignificant. EAPFRCF absorbed the least oil (0.84 g/g) while SPPFSCF absorbed the most (0.94 g/g). Foam-mat dried senescent plantain and their powdered mixes have the potential for utilization in nutritional interventions.  Its low moisture content will support a longer shelf-life than the fresh overripe plantain.

Published: October 2024

The Sénoufo, a people from the north of Côte d'Ivoire, are renowned for their consumption of leafy vegetables, particularly in the little-known ‘TCHONRON’ sauce. The aim of this study is to draw up a list of the leafy vegetables used in the preparation of this dish, in order to enhance their value and contribute to the sustainable management of these plant genetic resources. To this end, an ethnobotanical survey was carried out among 640 Senufo indigenous people, using a questionnaire. A total of 40 leafy vegetable species belonging to 28 genera and 20 families were identified. In fact, the most represented families are Solanaceae, Amaranthaceae and Asteraceae. The majority of these species are herbs (58%). Of these species, 25% are introduced (exotic); they are used as substitutes for wild leafy vegetables by the population in times of scarcity. On the other hand, introduced species contribute to the diversity of leafy vegetables used in the preparation of “TCHONRON” sauce. In addition, the leafy vegetables used to prepare this local product are dominated by Guinean-Congolese and Sudanese-Zambezian (GC-SZ) species, representing 55% of all species inventoried. This study reveals that the leafy vegetables used to prepare the “TCHONRON” sauce are diversified, and that the consumption of this sauce, a product of the Senoufo region, is not only cultural, but also contributes to the prevention of several diseases.

Authors: Ashebir Merse Mengesha , W Lemma , T Solomon
Published: October 2024

All soils are known to contain a certain amount of soluble salts and exchangeable sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. However, excessive enrichment of any one of them can interfere with many soil processes, including plant growth, and the effects depend on the degree of enrichment and the type of plant. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the salt-affected soils of the Ambo area for irrigated farmlands in the Golina Watershed in Raya Kobo Woreda, Amhara region. One profile was excavated from an irrigated field to carry out this activity. One profile was excavated from the irrigated field to conduct this activity. Ten soil samples were taken from the soil profile at 2 m depth at 20 cm depth intervals. The samples were analyzed for several soil physical properties, including soil pH, soluble cations and anions, soluble salts (electrical conductivity, EC), exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, Na, K), total nitrogen, organic carbon, soluble phosphorus, percent exchangeable sodium, sodium absorption, and soil physical properties (soil color, texture, bulk density, and soil porosity). Chemical properties were also analyzed. The analysis showed that the irrigated farmland soils had a pH of 7.6 to 8.8, electrical conductivity of 1.3 to 14 dsm-1, organic carbon of 0.3 to 1.2%, total nitrogen of 0.11 to 0.35%, soluble phosphorus of 24 to 41.4 mg kg-1, and cation exchange capacity of 50.3 to 65.5 cmol(+) kg-1. The distribution of exchangeable calcium was not consistent across the soil profiles of the irrigated farmlands. In general, the top layer of soil at both sites (because of its agricultural use) was considered for EC, ESP, and pH values. The irrigated farmland soils were classified as saline soils.

When it comes to minimalist design and dark mode, these are two very current topics in today’s design, development, and implementation of web and mobile applications. Often heard is the phrase „Less is more,“ which will be explained in detail through this paper, both from a theoretical perspective and with practical examples. Minimalist design has numerous advantages from various perspectives, but it also presents a significant challenge for designers because it requires highlighting everything important in the right way without excessive decoration and too many details. On the other hand, dark mode also presents a challenge, but from a technical standpoint, it has many advantages, as well as from the perspective of user experience. In comparison to lighter themes, it facilitates viewing the screen during the night and contributes to energy savings. In summary, today, minimalism and dark mode, in combination, when creating design software, improve the user interface (UI) and user experience, and enhance application performance in various fields.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) usage is of great importance in development of mathematics in general and geometry in particular. Software packages can, for instance, be helpful in differentiation and integration, as well as for solving complex numerical problems, which can be time-consuming if done without ICTs. Instruction of geometrical content at any level often requires usage of the content’s graphic representation. For that purpose, software packages for geometrical content visualization are used. Here we present an example where the computer usage in geometrical content exploration is shown. Visualization is especially important in the infinitesimal bending theory. In the paper we examine infinitesimal bending of a curve on the hyperbolic paraboloid and determine the infinitesimal bending field that leaves the bent curves on it. Since two such fields are obtained, we use Mathematica software package for representation of the curve and observe the impact both fields have on it. We also determine the bending field that leaves the curve on the hyperbolic paraboloid with a given precision.

The present work investigates the dry sliding wear and friction behaviour of an alloy steel developed through powder metallurgy. Prealloyed Atomet 4601 powder was thoroughly mixed with elemental powders of 0.35 C, 0.25 Mn, 0.1 Si and 0.9 Cr (in wt. %) to create this alloy steel, whose composition closely matches EN24 (AISI 4340) wrought steel. The dry sliding friction and wear test experiments were performed in a pin-on-disc tribometer. For the various cases considered in friction and wear tests, the wear rate is lowest (0.32 × 10–3 mm3/m) at 15 N and 1.77 m/s and highest (1.02 × 10–3 mm3/m) under severe conditions of 32.5 N and 2.83 m/s. The coefficient of friction is highest (0.673) at 15 N and 0.71 m/s and lowest (0.1311) at 32.5 N and 2.83 m/s. Subsequently, regression models are developed based on experimental results and the interaction effect of load and speed on the response parameters are plotted using MATLAB. An R2 value of 0.98 indicates a strong correlation between the response and the input variables. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses of the most worn specimens revealed carbides and oxides in the ferrite grain matrix, with adhesive, abrasive and oxidative wear being the primary mechanisms observed.

Background. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an important procedure in the diagnosis and management of pancreaticobiliary diseases. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common and serious adverse event after ERCP.
Purpose – to evaluate retrospectively PEP incidence and to identify independent risk factors of PEP.
Materials and Methods. The analysis of 578 ERCP cases was done. A number of potential risk factors for PEP were taken into uni- and multivariate analisys: age, gender, common bile duct (CBD) size, bilirubin level, presence of cholangitis, Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD), malignant biliary obstruction, chronic pancreatitis, biliary obstruction, history of cholecystectomy, history of endoscopic papillosphincterotomy (EPST), initial ERCP success, therapeutic success, selective biliary cannulation, pancreatic cannulation/injection, Precut and EPST.
Results. PEP was in 29 (5%) cases. Six factors with р < 0,05 by univariate analysis (CBD ≤ 10 mm, normal bilirubin level, SOD, history of cholecystectomy, pancreatic cannulation/injection, precut) were included into multivariate logistic regression model. The independent risk factor for PEP were CBD ≤ 10 mm (OR 2,416; 95% ДІ, 1,037–5,629; p = 0,041), SOD (OR 4,107; 95% ДІ, 1,726–9,771; p = 0,001) та pancreatic cannulation/injection (OR 3,447; 95% ДІ, 1,455–8,166; p = 0,005); and precut was an independent protective factor for PEP (OR 0,129; 95% ДІ, 0,047–0,354; p = 0,014).
Conclusions. The incidence of PEP was 5%. Small CBD and SOD are independent PEP risk factors as well as pancreatic cannulation/injection. Early precut technique is an independent factor preventing PEP.

Published: October 2024

As infecções virais crônicas, como hepatite B (HBV) e hepatite C (HCV), continuam a ser um desafio significativo para a saúde global, exigindo tratamentos antivirais eficazes. Para a hepatite B, as terapias antivirais atuais incluem interferon alfa, análogos de nucleotídeos e outros agentes antivirais que demonstram eficácia na supressão da replicação viral, embora enfrentam limitações como resistência a medicamentos e adesão ao tratamento. Em contraste, o tratamento da hepatite C foi revolucionado pelos Antivirais de Ação Direta (DAA), que oferecem altas taxas de cura e maior tolerabilidade. Este estudo compara as terapias antivirais para HBV e HCV, destacando as diferenças em seus mecanismos de ação e implicações para o prognóstico dos pacientes a longo prazo. A análise revela que, enquanto a terapia de hepatite B continua desafiadora, as inovações no tratamento da hepatite C têm o potencial de transformar completamente o manejo clínico da doença. A necessidade de continuar a pesquisa e desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos permanece crítica para melhorar os resultados de saúde pública.

Published: October 2024

China, as one of the influential states in South Asia, has recently proposed a new strategy known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This development, along with China's increasing presence in South Asia, requires critical analysis. China's rapid engagement with South Asian states, has a significant impact on the geopolitical landscape of the region. Bangladesh, being an important state in South Asia, attracts the attention of powerful nations seeking to assert their influence. Over the past few years, China has emerged as one of Bangladesh's major economic and development partners. However, it is crucial to recognize that Chinese involvement in Bangladesh goes beyond mere economic cooperation and encompasses broader geopolitical, geostrategic and geoeconomic interests. It seems China’s south Asia policy shift from earlier landscape. Consequently, China's engagement with Bangladesh has implications not only for the trade but also for the wider geopolitical dynamics of South Asia. This research seeks to elucidate the economic ties between Bangladesh and China and examine their impact, influence, and relevance. This research aims to explore China's new South Asian policy by using the China-Bangladesh relationship as an illustrative example.

Published: October 2024

QR codes, when incorporated with Apple Pay and Google Pay on the receipts of restaurants, transformed the food ordering business and increased the efficiency of the payment systems. In the Go programming language, restaurants can print dynamic QR codes on receipts through ESC/POS printer commands for scan-and-pay transactions. This integration enhances the company's checkout process and makes transactions more secure via the Virtual Terminal Service (VTS) systems. The outcome was an effective change in customer behavior and a considerable trend toward the usage of mobile payments. This article will discuss how the system's technical work has been done, the security and convenience of the payment system for end users, and how current and future applications, such as loyalty programs, can be served. Thus, implementing this technology is a success, which shows the critical role that contactless payments are taking in current restaurants and the role that the integration of QR codes plays in enhancing the customers' experience.

Numerous research findings reveal that a substantial proportion of pre-university students face challenges in developing proficient writing skills as they encounter difficulties in mastering this capability throughout the writing process. Therefore, this research examined how learners perceived their writing challenges and processes in academic writing in three distinct stages: before writing, during writing and during revising. Specifically, the study focused on the writing process and the challenges students encountered in crafting essays for the Extended Writing section of the Malaysian University English Test. This was to explore the strategies used during the writing process at each stage to highlight effective approaches that educators can use to foster a supportive writing environment. This quantitative study utilised purposive sampling and a survey analysed using SPSS Version 29 for descriptive analysis. The survey, adapted from Petric and Czalr (2003) and Flower and Hayes (1981) and created by Yunos et al. (2023), involved 169 pre-university students from the Centre of Foundation Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA. The study revealed that pre-university students faced challenges in academic writing particularly in the prewriting stage, where difficulties in outlining essays and constructing thesis statements were prominent. This emphasized the importance of addressing challenges specifically in the prewriting phase. The results of the study can help pinpoint the specific issues that students face when writing essays. This knowledge can help create personalised interventions and support plans to address specific writing obstacles and enhance overall writing proficiency.

Published: October 2024

Plants have been used for various purposes throughout history. This subject has received increasing attention in the field of traditional medicine in recent years. Tragopogon reticulatus, as a forage grass plant in turkey, is a species that stands out with rich vitamin and mineral content. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities of T. reticulatus. Two separate extracts were prepared at different concentrations using hexane and methanol solvents obtained from the T. reticulatus plant, and cytotoxic activity was evaluated by the MTT Assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method on human liver cancer (HepG2) and human breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines. The antioxidant activity of the extracts obtained from methanol and hexane was determined by the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl 1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging capacity method. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by the disk diffusion method, and bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus megaterium, and Candida albicans fungus were used in the study. The hexane extract obtained from the T. reticulatus plant showed a high cytotoxic activity of 44% in the MCF7 cell line, while it showed a 51% dead cell count in the HepG2 cell line. When the antioxidant results were evaluated, it was determined that the DPPH radical scavenging effect of the hexane extract exhibited the most effective activity at 19%. When the antimicrobial results were evaluated, it was determined that the concentrations prepared with hexane exhibited the most effective activity with a zone diameter of 16 mm against B. megaterium. These findings suggest that T. reticulatus plant extracts can be considered as a potential source. These results may shed light on future research into the biological effects of the plant and contribute to the development of new treatment methods.
Nanopartiküller, Bitki Aktivatörü ve Bazı Kimyasalların Domates Bitkilerinde Bakteriyel Kanser ve Solgunluk Hastalığının Baskılanması Üzerine Antibakteriyel Etkisi

Published: October 2024

Bakteriyel kanser ve solgunluk hastalığına neden olan Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) domateste önemli bir patojendir. Bu çalışmada iki farklı metal nanopartikül [nano gümüş (AgNps) ve nano bakır (CuNps)], bitki aktivatörü (ISR-2000), bakır hidroksit ve iki yeni kimyasal bileşiğin [sodyum pentaborate pentahidrat (SPP), disodyum octaborate tetrahidrat (DOT)] hastalık üzerine olan baskılayıcı etkisi araştırılmıştır. Nanopartiküller (AgNps ve CuNps) hariç diğer dört uygulama hastalık çıkışını in vivo koşullarda baskılamada başarı göstermiştir. ISR-2000 ve bakır hidroksit uygulamaları domates bitkisinde hastalık çıkışını sırasıyla %78 ve %46 oranında baskılayan en başarılı uygulamalar olarak belirlenmiştir. SPP ve DOT uygulamaları hastalık çıkışını %28 ve %33 oranlarında baskılayan diğer başarılı uygulamalar olmakla birlikte domates yapraklarında fitotoksik etki göstermiştir. Bu nedenle SPP ve DOT içerikli kimyasallar, pestisitlerin aktif maddelerine eklenerek pestisitlerin etkisi artırılabilir ancak daha detaylı araştırmalara ihtiyaç olduğu açıktır. Nanopartiküller (AgNps ve CuNps) in vitro denemelerde umut verici antibakteriyel sonuçlar verirken, in vivo denemelerde aynı etkiyi gösterememiştir. Bu sonuçlar bitki aktivatörlerinin bakteriyel enfeksiyonu baskılamada en başarılı uygulama olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu uygulamalar özellikle kimyasallara direnç geliştirmiş patojenlere karşı alternatif, çevreye dost uygulamalar olarak büyük önem taşımaktadır.
