Authors: Kajbaf Forough , Oryan Shahrbanoo , Ahmadi Ramesh , Eidi Akram
Published: March 2021

Background: Growing evidence has shown that the apoptosis of cells plays an important role in the advancement of the Diabetic nephropathy (DN). Objectives: This study attempted to discover the therapeutic potential of Peganum harmala leaf extract in the apoptosis of diabetic kidney disease. Methods: In the present experimental research, 32 male Wistar rats were studied, and diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) (65 mg/kg). The animals were randomly divided into four groups (n=8, in each group) as follows: control, diabetic, control+leaf extract, diabetic+leaf extract. For our purposes, the methanolic extract of P. harmala leaves (150 mg/kg) was given by gavage for 28 days. Flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses were utilized to determine the percentages of apoptotic cells. Also, histological alterations and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated. Results: The P. harmala leaf extract has a high amount of flavonoids (25.84%), a lower percentage of alkaloids (0.14%), and some antioxidant properties. Serum urea (P<0.001) and apoptosis (P<0.05) significantly elevated in diabetic rats relative to the control ones. The mean of fasting blood creatinine, urea, and albumin level was not significantly changed in diabetic+leaf extract rats as compared to the diabetic ones. Histopathological results also displayed that diabetic complications in the kidney could not be improved following treatment by the leaf extract of P. harmala. In addition, the leaf extract could not significantly reduce the apoptosis and caspase-3 expression compared to diabetics in renal cells. Conclusion: Based on our findings, the leaf extract of P. harmala is unable to inhibit apoptosis in the diabetic kidney model.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most threatening and important disorders worldwide in both industrial and developing nations. In addition, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) are three factors suggested as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in CKDs. Considering the lack of enough efficiency of the creatinine in the prognosis of the CKD, the present study aimed to assess the relationship between these three factors and CKD occurrence and determine if they could be considered valid biomarkers in this regard. Materials and Methods: The present case-control study was designed enrolling 42 patients with confirmed CKD referring to the Imam Khomeini hospital of Kangan. The participants were 42 years old and gender-matched healthy counterparts. Blood samples were obtained, and then NGAL, KIM-1, and L-FABP were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using commercial kits (Bioassay Technology Laboratory). Finally, the serum creatinine was detected by applying Jaffe’s method. Results: Based on the results, significant differences were found in the serum levels of all four factors between CKD patients and the control group. More precisely, the serum levels of NGAL (P < 0.0001, specificity: 87.6%, sensitivity: 79.3%, and the area under the curve, AUC: 0.89), L-FABP (P < 0.0001, specificity: 83.3%, sensitivity: 78.3%, and AUC: 0.86), KIM-1 (P < 0.0001, specificity: 85.7%, sensitivity: 78.6%, and AUC: 0.88), and creatinine (P < 0.0001) were significantly higher in individuals with CKDs in comparison with controls. Eventually, the serum levels of NGAL, L-FABP, and KIM-1 were significantly correlated with each other in both patient and control groups (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: In general, NGAL, L-FABP, KIM-1, and creatinine could be used as independent biomarkers for the diagnosis of CKD. Moreover, the measurement of NGAL, L-FABP, and KIM-1 altogether could be a valid assessment for the diagnosis of CKD.

Authors: Galedari Sahar , Teimouri Maryam
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Recently, the biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using medicinal plants has attracted the attention of researchers due to their low cost and environmental compatibility. The aim of this study was to determine the anti-biofilm effects of zinc oxide (ZnO)-NPs synthesized using the Artemisia plant extract on the clinical samples of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: In this experimental study, the alcoholic extract of Artemisia was prepared using the Soxhlet extraction method to synthesize ZnO-NPs. Then, the physical and chemical structures of the NPs were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet/visible (UV-Vis) techniques. In addition, the gene expression of ndvB was analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction method. Finally, anti-biofilm and antimicrobial effects were evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration test and microtiter plate assay. Results: The antimicrobial results showed that ZnO-NPs had a spherical structure approved by the UV-Vis test. Further, ZnO-NPs had inhibitory effects on biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa strains. The results demonstrated that ZnO-NPs were effective on the isolations at the lowest and highest viscosities of 3.125 and 100 mg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: The biosynthesis of ZnO-NPs using the Artemisia plant extract is low cost and easy. Moreover, these NPs can be used as a drug with antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects.

Os estabelecimentos agropecuários do município de Nepomuceno-MG segundo as categorias de Hughes Lamarche
Authors: Vilas Boas Lucas Guedes
Published: March 2021

Hughes Lamarche definiu quatro modelos teóricos de funcionamento dos estabelecimentos agrícolas por meio de critérios, como: a administração do imóvel, a mão de obra empregada, o direcionamento da produção, e a dependência tecnológica, financeira e mercantil. Embora não sejam absolutos, esses modelos permitem estudar a realidade agrária de determinados espaços. Destarte, o artigo analisa os estabelecimentos agropecuários de Nepomuceno com base nas categorias estabelecidas por Lamarche. O município está localizado na região de planejamento Sul de Minas e possui aproximadamente 27 mil habitantes. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, a análise documental, o trabalho de campo e as entrevistas semiestruturadas. Assim, observou-se que a maioria dos estabelecimentos agrícolas municipais podem ser classificados na categoria agricultura familiar moderna, uma vez que, a despeito da participação familiar, estão muito integrados e dependentes ao mercado capitalista.
Formação docente para educação especial inclusiva: os currículos das licenciaturas em geografia nas universidades públicas do Paraná em 2018
Authors: Araujo Carla Cristina Varela , Veiga Léia Aparecida
Published: March 2021

Objetivou-se, nessa pesquisa, analisar as grades curriculares dos cursos de licenciatura em Geografia das universidades públicas de âmbito estadual e federal no Estado do Paraná, até o ano de 2018, buscando-se identificar as disciplinas que abordam a educação inclusiva, bem como a organização destas, no caso de disciplinas e/ou conteúdos presentes em determinados componentes curriculares pedagógicos das Instituições de Ensino Superior/IES públicas do Paraná. Delimitou-se como locus da pesquisa, portanto, os Projeto Pedagógico do Curso/PPC dos cursos de Geografia, em vigor até o ano de 2018. Em relação aos procedimentos metodológicos, foram utilizadas fontes secundárias (documentos institucionais, como o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso Superior de Licenciatura em Geografia, grade curricular e o componentes) e estas foram discutidas à luz de referencial teórico acerca do Currículo, Educação Inclusiva e da Formação Inicial de Professores, temáticas essas abordadas por Hummel e Silva (2017), Jesus (2012), Pimenta e Anastasiou (2008), Romanowski (2016), Saviani (2009), Tanuri (2000), Callai (1995) e Pontuschka; Tomoko e Cacete (2009). Verificou-se que, em grande parte das universidades, a presença da educação especial na perspectiva inclusiva na grade curricular ainda é incipiente, pois, na maioria delas, a única disciplina com cunho inclusivo é a de Língua Brasileira de Sinais/LIBRAS, dada a obrigatoriedade prevista na Lei nº. 10.436, de 24 de abril de 2002. Conclui-se que essa pouca oferta de disciplinas voltadas para educação inclusiva reflete no cotidiano dos professores no exercício da docência, que se sentem inseguros para trabalhar com os alunos com deficiência, transtornos globais do desenvolvimento ou altas habilidades, inclusos no ensino regular, o que tem resultado em estresse para professor e na exclusão pedagógica dos alunos.

Published: March 2021

The collapse of universities following the adoption of SAP in the 1980s opened a window of opportunity for developing country universities like those in ‘Nigeria to foster collaboration with those in the developed high income countries in order to improve the quality of their institutions. It has also helped them to show appreciation for the possible contributions of their citizens in the Diaspora. This paper is about the attitude of home based scholars to the possible role of Nigeria’s scholars in the Diaspora to the development of the university system in particular and the country as a whole. A study was conducted in five universities on attitude of top echelons and beneficiaries of linkage prorgammes to Nigerian Diaspora scholars in the US and Canada. It is undeniable from the study that all recognize the benefits of linkage programmes and are prepared to welcome Nigerian scholars in the Diaspora. The paper concludes by highlighting variants of collaborative relationships, the challenges underlying them and how Nigeria’s universities can be transformed from local to global centres of learning.
The Future of Banking System and Economic Development in Nigeria
Authors: Ajakaiye Olu , Babatunde M. Adetunji
Published: March 2021

This study examined the future of banking system and economic development in Nigeria in the context of the demand following hypothesis. Although, the Nigerian economy has witnessed steady growth, the productive base of the economy is narrow. This therefore requires that banks must engage in an effective financial intermediation process to aid the transformation of the real sector as an engine of growth. However, while the deposits mobilized and assets base of the commercial banks has increased in leap and bounds, the real sector access to credit is on the decline. Rather, the bulk of the funds are invested on government short term securities given their risk free characteristics which reflect the lazy bank syndrome. Prohibitively high cost of credit and existence of hidden charges also inhibit real sector access to commercial banks loan. Hence, to reconnect the banking system with the real sector, there is a need to discourage armchair banking business model and encourage supportive banking business model, lending and secure appropriate maturity profile of loans to the real sectors, promote modified collateral bank lending model, and encourage specialization of bank branches. These are expected to aid the growth of the real sector and fast track the process of economic development in Nigeria.

Published: March 2021

The letter of credit (L/C) contract is one of a range of banking operations through which banks can finance foreign trade. The contract provides security and stability to the trade because of the trust and credit it gives, since the buyer may be in one country and the seller in another, so as to assure each other that the other party fulfills its obligation. However, is this contract can be considered as a compliance contract so the relations between parties is a submissive weak-strong relationship? This necessarily entails examining the availability of legal protection to prevent the abuse of a strong party. Hence, this paper aims to examine the availability of compliance status in the documentary credit opening contract and focuses on the Jordanian legislations as a case study. The comparative analytical approach is executed in this study. The findings reveal that the L/C contract is influenced by the concept of compliance, however the L/C contract can be adjusted by the client, in accordance with the rules and provisions of this credit.

Authors: Palupi Muji Endah
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this research is to study about translation techniques and methods using the V-diagram system. Language is part of culture which plays an important role in social life. Language is used to express ideas orally or in writing. in grammar structure and vocabulary. Translation is an expression of a general term that refers to an idea from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL). Language translation is used to convey meanings and messages from different languages. In translation techniques, the theories studied are related to the processes and methods of language delivery. The purpose of translation is to reproduce different types of text. This research discusses translation techniques and methods. According to Peter Newmark, describes the translation techniques and methods using the V Diagram. This translation system is very simple and language conveyed is easy to understand by readers. Hopefully this research can be widely accepted so that readers will be interested in knowing more about the translation and its nuances
Service Quality in a Reduced payroll Environment: Applying Queuing Analysis to Customer Perception Case Study
Authors: Yearout Robert DeWitt , Ballard Jack , Lee Jimin , McKenzie Claudel , Parsons Donna
Published: March 2021

This study was conducted in a national retail pharmacy company’s stores inWestern North Carolinato examine the impact of the reduction of store staffing, primarily pharmacists and service staff, on customers’ satisfaction with service time.    Customer arrival rates and service times for each queue were conducted to determine optimal staffing.  A random customer survey in multiple store locations provided customers’ perceptions of service quality. Analysis determined that over 30% of the customers surveyed were dissatisfied with service time. A regression analysis demonstrated a significant linear relationship (σ = 0.05) between total service time and customer satisfaction. Study results indicate that cutting staff could result in an unacceptable loss of a competitive advantage.  Payroll cost savings of less than $70,000 per year could result in lost revenue dollars in excess of $1,700,000 per year.  Thus reducing staff hours (decreasing payroll) in the short term may negatively impact long-term effectiveness and productivity.
Interdisciplinary Product Development - Virtual Reality Application in FMEA
Authors: Eiselt Toni , Zickner Holger , Schuldt Juliane , Gröger Sophie , Weidlich Dieter
Published: March 2021

In applying quality management (QM) methods, as for instance the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in the field of complex mechatronic systems, it is necessary to visually illustrate the system to be examined to all members of the interdisciplinary team. Using Virtual Reality (VR) in combination with QM methods creates conditions that help the team to improve the application of QM methods considerably. VR is particularly suitable to visualize complex mechanical systems due to its realistic three-dimensional presentation of single components, assemblies, and complete systems in combination with the interaction in all six degrees of freedom. The present article presents goals and results of a research project at Chemnitz University of Technology. One result is that all members of the interdisciplinary team easily gain insight into the stage of development when FMEA is supported by Virtual Reality.
A Survey-Based Vision for Restructuring Concrete Business in the New Residential Communities in Egypt
Authors: Zidan Ahmed , Mousa Ahmed , Mahgoub Mohamed
Published: March 2021

Due to its evolving technology and dynamic nature, a sizeable segment of the world’s construction market that used to partly rely on traditional site-mixed concrete (SMC) had almost completely shifted to ready-mixed concrete (RMC) several decades ago in the developed countries. Likewise, this targeted trend has been observed in developing countries. The Egyptian residential sector has also adopted some corrective changes in this direction in the last decade. Nevertheless, the vast majority of builders in the Egyptian market have continued to oppose to this global paradigm shift. The observed “cultural” resistance to change seems to be chiefly driven by the difference in the unit price of SMC and RMC, overlooking the latter’s superior characteristics and its added values that fundamentally overweigh this apparent difference in cost.This study aims at promoting the use of RMC over SMC for construction of new residential communities in Egypt. Proper business measures need to be implemented for the desired change in the culture of concrete market. A mixed (qualitative and quantitative) approach was used in this survey. A customized survey, comprised of a series of interviews with consultants/contractors in the field and a detailed questionnaire targeting practitioners (developers, contractors and end users), was conducted to gage market responsiveness to the desired change. The desired market shift towards RMC (targeted variable) hinges on generic variables: price, concrete quality and customer satisfaction, and market-specific variables: local concrete culture, perception of average customers, and permitting process.The survey revealed that professional participants, a small fraction of the local concrete market, are aware of the added values of utilizing RMC. The participation rate is clearly indicative of the absence of awareness of the numerous competitive advantages of using RMC in the Egyptian market.  The resistance to change, unarguably, still hinges on the mistakenly believed difference in SMC and RMC unit prices, not the cost/benefit ratio.
Instructional Software for Reliability Estimation and Fault Tree Analysis
Authors: Ahluwalia Rashpal
Published: March 2021

This paper describes a software tool to introduce fundamental concepts of reliability and fault tree analysis to engineering students.  Students can fit common failure distributions to failure data.  The data can be complete, singly censored, or multiply censored.  The software computes distribution and goodness-of-fit parameters.  The students can use the tool to validate hand calculations.  Failure distributions and reliability values for various components can be identified and stored in a database.  Various components and sub-systems can be used to build series- parallel or complex systems.  The components data can also be used to build fault trees.  The software tool can compute reliability of complex state independent and state dependent systems.  The tool can also be used to compute failure probability of the top node of a fault tree.  The software was implemented in Visual Basic with SQL as the database.  It operates on the Windows 7 platform.
Multiatributte Double Sampling Control Chart
Authors: Ramirez-Mendez Esmeralda , Cantu-Sifuentes Mario
Published: March 2021

In recent years, multiattribute control charts have received an increasing attention. These charts are able to monitor two or more attributes in the same chart. In addition, there are many applications of multiatributte control charts in a wide variety of manufacturing processes and services. In this article, a multiattribute double sampling (DS D2) control chart is proposed. Double sampling is a methodology used to improve the efficiency of a control chart to detect quality issues without increase the sampling. Results of comparative studies via simulation indicate that the proposed control chart significantly outperforms in most of the supposed sceneries, in terms of the Average Run Length.
