Aratus’ Phaenomena beyond Its Sources
Authors: Mastorakou Stamatina
Published: October 2021

In this article, I compare the astronomical poem by Aratus called Phaenomena (third century bc) with the citations of a work of the same name by Eudoxus that are found in Hipparchus’ only extant work, In Arati et Eudoxi phaenomena (second century bc). I argue that, contrary to what most scholars maintain, Aratus’ poem is not a mere versification of Eudoxus’ work but a version enriched in style, language, and content. Indeed, Aratus’ Phaenomena is a paradigmatic reflection of the astronomical knowledge of the period in which it was written and a comprehensive, non-technical presentation of the celestial phenomena known in his time. It was, as I show, a very popular work, so popular that Hipparchus was moved to correct it in the hope of establishing himself as the authority in astronomy and prose as its proper medium.

Authors: Suckling F.E.T.
Published: October 2021

IN 1948, the Te Awa hill pasture research area was established, and a programme of subdivision, oversowing with legumes, and topdressing with phosphate was undertaken. As the area has now been in operation for a little over fifteen years, this is an appropriate time to take stock of the improvements that have been made.
PROBLEMS OF FORESTRY AS THEY AFFECT LAND-USE FOR AGRICULTURE IN WESTLAND Part 1 : The Production Forests
Authors: Molloy G.J.
Published: October 2021

WESTLAND CONSERVANCY, which conforms to the Westland Land District boundaries, being bounded in the north by the Porarari, Otututu and Grey rivers, to the east by the main divide, and to the south by the Awarua River, contains the most important mechantable indigenous forests remaining in New Zealand. These forests are important from both the national and regional viewpoints, as with controlled cutting they will be capable of producing a major contribution to New Zealand's requirements of high quality timber and veneers for nearly one hundred years. Their value will be further enhanced in the future, as the now limited indigenous forests in other regions are depleted, and this premium will be maintained until, and even after, such time as comparable grades can be produced in sufficient quantity from well-tended exotic forests. As a strategic reserve, should any disaster befall the exotic forests, the indigenous forests of Westland also fill a valuable role. From the regional viewpoint, these production forests will provide the raw material for a locally based industry, which is now being expanded to help give stability to a regional economy where the resources available for industrial development are limited.
Characterization Of Zinc Coating By Sherardizing
Authors: Altuncu Ekrem , Selen Ali
Published: October 2021

Sherardizing process is a common industrial surface treatment technology that provides protection against corrosion by forming a zinc-iron based layer on steel surfaces by thermo diffusion mechanism. Sherardizing is much more reliable, environmentally friendly and cost effective than many paint and zinc based coatings. Sherardizing is in the interest of many industries with the advantages it provides. For this reason, it is very important to understand and characterize the properties of sherardized surfaces. In this study, the cross-sectional and top surface morphology of the coating was investigated by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The thickness of coating were analyzed using nondestructive test methods. Surface properties are discussed and wetting angle measurements were carried out and analyzed. Sherardizing process provides a very strong and long-term protection against corrosion and wear. It is an indispensable surface treatment especially for fasteners and bolts that require high strength and service life.

Authors: Sutcu Huseyin Cagri , Erturk Ilker
Published: October 2021

In the automotive industry, where perceived quality is of paramount importance, plastic pins and plastic hole mounting types are generally used in vehicle interior components. Two components made of the same material, production and assembly can be performed by assuming equal pin-hole tolerances. In this article, there are geometric dimensioning and tolerance engineering studies aiming to increase perceived quality in the issues of assembly, visibility, sound and interference that may arise from differences in the tolerance of pin-hole sizes between the pin made of magnesium and the hole made of polypropylene. In this context, visibility and interference analyzes were carried out in virtual environment for problems that may arise from tolerance differences

Community-Based Service-Learning: A Rural Australian Perspective on Student and Academic Outcomes of Participation
Authors: Jones Debra , McAllister Lindy , Lyle David
Published: October 2021

This article reports on a community-based service-learning program that aligned occupational therapy and speech pathology student learning with service provision in order to address the unmet developmental needs of children residing in rural New South Wales, Australia. The article describes academy outcomes for participating allied health students and academics. A pragmatic qualitative research study was undertaken and data collected through focus groups with students and individual interviews with academics. Data were analyzed using a constant comparative analysis method. Broad codes were developed and then collapsed into two themes: catalysts for program participation and civic impacts of participation. Based on the study findings, the authors argue for the need to ensure the development of communityliterate health students, academics, and practicing professionals if colleges and universities are to create a rural-ready and responsive health workforce. This community-literate approach must inform how Australian higher education institutions engage with rural communities in community-based service-learning innovation.
At a Crossroads: Pakistani College Students’ Perspectives on Service and Service-Learning
Authors: Morrison Emily A.
Published: October 2021

With its large youth population, high unemployment, and limited educational opportunities, Pakistan is at a crossroads. Service-learning is a new concept in Pakistan, and several universities have begun to incorporate service into their curricula—with varying degrees of success—as a means for bridging academia with pressing community concerns. This qualitative case study explored Pakistani college students’ perceptions of service and how service-learning was being developed at their university, and the challenges they had encountered. Findings revealed students’ desire for a relevant education that not only prepares them for productive careers, but also serves their communities; gaps between the realities of and aspirations for education; issues of empowerment; and the need to mitigate risks. Analysis of the findings revealed a tension—a “tragic gap” (Palmer, 2004)—between what is and what could be in relation to service-learning and civic engagement in Pakistan.
“I just kept quiet”: Exploring Equity in a Service-Learning Programme
Authors: Bheekie Angeni , van Huyssteen Mea , Rae Nicolette , Swartbooi Cindy
Published: October 2021

Social justice underpins the sustainable development goal of health for all. In developing countries, social injustices are particularly severe and widespread, demanding critical and immediate attention. This article describes a qualitative, descriptive study that investigated pharmacy students’ responses to incidents of social injustice following their service-learning experiences in public-sector primary healthcare facilities in Cape Town, South Africa. Data were gathered from written reflection reports and then thematically analyzed using the pedagogy of discomfort as an interpretive framework. Themes were categorised according to students’ habitual responses to incidents of social injustice, how they interpreted their responses, and how they could promote social justice in the workplace as future healthcare professionals. Findings demonstrated students’ inability to take action and revealed that silence was the most common response to incidents of discrimination. These results highlight the ways in which the structural constraints of the societal status quo can perpetuate inequity. Study limitations include bias from students self-reports and their narrow understanding of structural barriers in the work-place. Intergenerational dialogue and advocacy is crucial across South African higher education to understand widespread social injustices. Embedding a critical approach to service-learning in the African context needs exploration.

Some Aspects of Plane Poiseuille Flow of a Polar Fluid through a Porous Layer with Brinkman Effects
Authors: Kamel M. T. , Hamdan M. H.
Published: October 2021

Polar fluid through a porous structure is considered in an attempt to derive expressions for its effective viscosity under Poiseuille flow. Expressions for the velocity field and micro-rotation are obtained and compared with the corresponding expressions for flow in free space in order to illustrate the effects of the porous medium parameters on the traversing fluid. This work might be of applicability in the study of lubrication problems in configurations involving porous linings, and in the study of the effects of viscosity changes on oil well yield.

The recent developments in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be useful in observing the detailed haemodynamics in renal artery bifurcation for clinical evaluation and treatment. The present study focuses on haemodynamic behaviour of blood as it flows through the abdominal aorta-renal artery junction in an idealistic healthy artery with varying bifurcation angles to the abdominal aorta, i.e. from 30° to 90° with increments of 15°. This is to examine the effect of angulation on the junction and to determine whether arterial geometry plays a role in the prediction of atherosclerotic lesions. The three-dimensional models used in this study were generated using ANSYS WORKBENCH 19.0, and numerical simulation was done using FLUENT 19.0 solver. The blood flow is assumed to be Newtonian, incompressible and laminar. Haemodynamic parameters such as velocity, wall pressure and wall shear stress along with flow variation are compared among the different models. As the angulation increased, velocity and wall shear stress at the ostial region decreased by 14% and 52% respectively. Wall pressure at the same region saw an increase by 3%. Therefore, renal arteries with higher bifurcating angles to the abdominal aorta were observed to be more prone to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. The present study is a precursor for future studies on renal artery with stenosis.
ERKEN DÖNEM HADİS EDEBİYATINDA SÜNEN TÜRÜ ESERLER VE SÜNEN ISTILÂHININ PROBLEMLERİ
Authors: Kılıç Bilge
Published: October 2021

Our article deals with Sunan type works in early Hadith Literature and the concept of Sunan problems in the works of Hadith Methodology. In the history of hadith, many works have been classified under the name of Sunan. Some of these classified works are also mentioned in the sources as Jami‘, Musannaf, Sahîh. In this respect, there is a problem in naming some hadith sources as Sunan. The word Sunan, which is the name of a genre in the hadith literature, has gained a conceptual meaning in the historical process. In the Hadith Methodology works of the Mutaqaddimin (Former Scholars) and Mutaakhkhirin (Following Scholars) period, the word Sunan was mainly used both as the Sunnah of the Prophet and the name of some Hadith works. The conceptualization of the word Sunan took place quite late and many definitions of Sunan were made in the contemporary period. However, the definition of Sunan and the contents of the works whose name is Sunan do not match. Among these definitions, the definition of Kettânî (d. 1345/1927) in his work er-Risâletü'l-müstatrefe was accepted and transferred in later sources. Kettânî did not include any reference in his work for his definition. Because of this problem, the definition of Kettânî has been discussed by some authors. Our article deals with these problems arising from the concept of Sunan.

CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIBIOTIC PROFILES OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM “TCHOUKOU” TRADITIONAL MILK CHEESES PRODUCED IN THE ZINDER REGION OF NIGER REPUBLIC, WEST AFRICA
Authors: Aboubacar Mahamadou , Owino Willis , Mbogo Kevin
Published: October 2021

Purpose: The current study’s aim is to identify Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from “ Tchoukou” cheeses made using cow, camel, and goat milk sampled from Zinder region of Niger Republic.

Methodology: Nine samples were collected aseptically from cheesemakers in Zinder Region and the isolation of LAB isolates was carried out using selective media. The isolates were identified based on their phenotypic, biochemical and genotypic characteristics.

Findings: A total of 13 strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) were isolated and morphologically and biochemically characterized. Cell morphology analysis identified 12 isolates as rods shaped while 1 isolate was cocci. All isolates were gram positive, Triple Sugar Ion Agar tests (TSIA) positive, and tested negative for catalase. The isolates were also found to be able to grow in a temperature range between 15 and 45 C.. The isolates' 16S rRNA gene was amplified using bacterial universal primers 27F and 1492R. Based on 16S rRNA gene analyses, the 13 LAB isolates were grouped into the genera Lactobacillus, and Weissella, traditionally known to occur in raw milk and milk products. The genus Lactobacillus was dominant with 76.92% of the LAB isolated. Most of the isolated strains were susceptible to eight antibiotics. Therefore, 5 (38.46%), 3(23.08%), and 4 (30.77%) isolates showed resistance respectively against Kanamycin, Streptomycin, and Co-Trimoxazole. One same isolate (7.69%) was discovered resistant to Sulphamethoxazole and Ampicillin.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: this study was performed to characterize the LAB isolates found in homemade cheeses that could serve as the potential source for the industries and commercial applications.

Purpose: The study sought to evaluate breakfast cereals produced from finger millet, wheat, soybean, and peanut blends

Methodology: In this study, finger millet based breakfast food analysis was conducted, with supplementation of wheat, soybean, and peanut in the ratios of (100:0), (90:10), (80:20), (70:30), and (60:40). These products were analyzed for proximate composition, mineral contents, and sensory attributes using AOAC 2O10, AAS flaming, and method described by Adenguwa et,al., (2014) respectively.

Results: The results for the proximate composition ranged from 61.70 to 71.25 %, 6.95 to 7.85 %, 2.40% to 3.20%, 9.70 % to 13.5 %, 1.5% to 8.50%, and 2.13 % to 4.10 % for carbohydrate, moisture, ash, protein, fat, and fibre respectively. There was significant increase in the protein, fat, fiber, and energy contents, and decrease in only carbohydrate contents at (p<0.05) with increase in supplementation. There were general increase contents of Zn, Na, and K with equal decrease in the Ca contents in all the samples A –E at (p<0.05). The mineral composition of this food is good for its efficacy to alleviate some level of macro-minerals deficiencies. The scores for taste ranged between 7.20 – 7.50, the scores range for aroma was from 6.60 – 6.90, and 6.23 – 7.10 was the score range for mouth feel, the general acceptability which has a score range of 6.67 – 7.47 in samples A to E. There was significant difference (p<0.05) across the samples in all the sensory qualities.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This shows that this breakfast cereal product will be accepted by the consumers when expose to the market due to its characteristic organoleptic sensory appeal. It was recapitulated that this product should be adopted for better nourishment and huger quenching due to lots of condensed nutrients of significant amount
UNLEASHING GENDER EQUALITY AND ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS: RETHINKING IMPLICATION TO POVERTY REDUCTIONS
Authors: Katuli Farida Kassim
Published: October 2021

Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine gender equality in accessing knowledge among smallholder farmers with a focus on poverty reductions strategies. 

Methodology: This paper draws from the theoretical and empirical literature review of studies on smallholder farmers on access to agricultural knowledge through collection of secondary data and reviewing information that has been gathered from various studies and reports in research and academic institutions, as well as from internet sources in and outside Tanzania.

Findings: The study found the missing link in poverty reduction strategies, thus there is a need to strengthen the strategies and the agriculture policy. The study also, found that women have less access to agricultural knowledge than men due to cultural barriers, low level of literacy, poverty, and lack of ownership of resources such as land and income for sustainability and security.

Unique contribution to theory and policy/recommendation): The focus and outcomes regarding gender equality in relation to access to agricultural information suggests the need for more refined and socioeconomic models that cuts across gender and other social dimension beyond other factors of culture, education etc. This study recommends that there is a need to rethink of the implications to poverty reduction strategies during preparation of the strategies in order to increase accessibility of knowledge among smallholder farmers, especially women. Hence, this study will contribute to theory and policy to enable smallholder farmers to increase productivity and income especially to women.
CURRENT KENYA REGIME AND REGIONAL INTERGRATION
Authors: Gathoni Emmah
Published: October 2021

Purpose: Head of state has the role of presenting the interests of the country at the community to have them embedded for better regional integration. The general objective of the study was to examine current Kenya regime and regional integration.

Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

Findings: The study concludes that Kenya head of state has a crucial role to play with regard to fulfilling regional commitments touching on integration as well as establishing linkages between different regional policies and strategies. Finally, the study concluded that the EAC state governments can steer effort of integration as long as there is a will to plough in more resources which will go a long way in creating a friendly environment for trade and movement for all their citizens.

Recommendations: The study recommends that there is need for Kenya government to  come out strongly to ensure that when promoting interests, it is prudent to give priority to those interests that cut across member states of EAC since they are geared towards achieving integration and therefore beneficial to the entire region. In addition, the East Africa Community members should be guided on the need to conform to the regional integration laws, for instance, on set tariffs there is need to maintain standard in terms of levies to be charged for both exported and imported goods and services hence promoting trade and boosting security in these nations

Published: October 2021

The high energy consumption connected with cement manufacturing, as well as the depletion of limestone resources and the release of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming, are all important issues that must be addressed. Partially replacing cement with agricultural wastes in concrete, which reduces cement output, is an innovative solution to this problem. This paper examined the effect of combining Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) and Maize Straw Ash (MSA) as partial replacement of cement on the compressive strength of Grade 20 concrete at 0 - 30 % POFA and 0 - 30 % MSA using Historical data under the Response Surface study in Design-Expert software. The concrete cubes were tested at 7, 28, and 56 days of curing. It was discovered that there was a decrease in the compressive strength of the concrete with the percentage increase in the quantity of the POFA and MSA for all the curing days considered. However, there was a progressive increase in the compressive strength with an increase in the days of curing. The optimum combination of percentages of POFA, MSA and cement that gave a strength greater than the target compressive strength of 20 N/mm2 in 56 days is 30 % POFA and 16.6 % MSA and 53.4 % Cement at 0.58 water-cement ratio.

Crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem são aquelas portadoras de problemas comportamentais da infância que interferem em suas habilidades acadêmicas. Estudos brasileiros apontam as dificuldades de aprendizagem como a principal causa da busca por tratamento psicológico na rede pública. Frente a esta demanda, no ano de 2006, foi elaborado um programa de intervenção clínica e de educação em saúde, oferecido por uma equipe de Estratégia de Saúde da Família à uma escola pública de ensino fundamental, em cidade de médio porte do interior do estado de São Paulo. Este programa, denominado Remédio para Alma, tem como público-alvo crianças de 6 a 10 anos de idade, cursando do primeiro ao quinto ano letivo, que apresentam dificuldades de aprendizado detectadas pela professora. O presente estudo tem como objetivo conhecer as repercussões da participação no programa na vida dos alunos, segundo a percepção dos envolvidos no contexto educacional do programa. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, com entrevistas de todos os 18 educadores envolvidos, que foram submetidas à Análise de Conteúdo Temática de Gomes e extraídos sete temas: Acesso ao tratamento; Adesão ao programa; Aproximação dos pais e interação com a escola e com a Equipe de Saúde da Família; Melhora no comportamento; Melhora no conhecimento da história do aluno; Avanço no processo pedagógico; e Repercussão positiva do programa. Concluiu-se que a repercussão do programa na vida do aluno se deu por meio do acesso aos profissionais de saúde e aos tratamentos, que geram supostas melhorias comportamentais, influenciando no desempenho escolar. A aproximação dos pais e sua interação com a Estratégia de Saúde da Família e com a escola também foram apontados como relevantes fatores de repercussão na vida dos alunos participantes do programa. O estudo está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira parte são apresentados os aspectos introdutórios e revisão de literatura do estudo e na segunda parte estão presentes as discussões e conclusões do estudo.

As a global parasitic disease, Ascariasis has the highest prevalence in the tropical areas of developing countries, such as Yemen. This study was conducted to present our experience in three cases of surgical complications of ascariasis, represented by intestinal obstruction, acute acalculous cholecystitis, and acute appendicitis. Occasional severe manifestations and a high morbidity and mortality rate, especially in endemic areas, make ascariasis a heavy health burden in tropical and subtropical countries. We aim to increase physicians’ knowledge and alertness toward ascariasis diagnosis and its severe manifestations.

A simple, specific and accurate UV spectrophotometric method was developed to estimate felbamate in tablets. The maximum absorbance was obtained at 257.00 nm. The method showed good correlation coefficient value (r2 = 0.9984) in the concentration range of 200 - 1800 μg/mL and demonstrated specificity, accuracy, precision and robustness. It was observed that the excipients in the tablets did not interfere with the UV absorbance of drug. Results of the analysis were validated statistically and by recovery study. The developed method was found to be simple and rapid for assay of felbamate in tablet dosage form.

The relationship between a clinician and a patient in pre genomic era was only the disease description and medicine prescription. The medical practitioners generally assumed all the patients to be homogenous in their response to drugs and expected a uniform disease pathogenesis pattern. Thus, universal therapeutic strategy and same drug regimen was prescribed to all. It was realized through clinical observation that the same drug has varied effect in patients: few with toxicity, few non-responsive and some with desired therapeutic effect. It is observed that for any approved drug, about half of the population is non-responsive. The advances in genomics and molecular biology and the completion of human genome project (HGP) have transformed the basic dogma and given scientific explanation for variable human response to the same medication.

Proteolytic enzymes released by the host cells are associated with the tissue destruction in inflammatory disease condition. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have primary role in this process, as they degrade most of the extracellular matrix components. In the present study hydroalcoholic extract and fractions of Caesalpinia bonduc L. and Ficus benghalensis L. were screened for their in vitro inhibitory activity on MMP-2 and MMP-9. Screening was carried out by using gelatin zymography assay. Matrix metalloproteinases were extracted from the human tonsil tissue. The test samples were treated with the extracted MMPs and percentage inhibition was determined by using gelatin zymography. Hydroalcoholic extract of C. bonduc (CB-1) showed 99% inhibition of MMP-9 and 98% inhibition of MMP-2. However, hydroalcoholic extract of F. benghalensis (FB-1) showed 86.66% inhibition of MMP-9 and 89% inhibition of MMP-2. The inhibition of MMPs was decreased with increase in polarity of the solvents used for the successive fractionation in case of C. bonduc. However some polar and non-polar constituents might be responsible for inhibition of MMPs in case of F. benghalensis. MMP-2 appears to be more sensitive than MMP-9.
