Authors: Uddin Md Alfaz , Bhuiya Mohammad Salahuddin , Sahriar Masum , Ahmed Sohel , Hakim Abdul , Hasan Mahedi , Yesmine Saquiba
Published: April 2023

Enteric fever or typhoid is caused by the human-specific gram-negative pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (S. typhi). The incidence of typhoid fever remains high in rural areas and the emergence of multidrug resistance has exacerbated the situation. The present study examined the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Salmonella typhi to the antibiotics commonly used in Bangladesh. This study also examined the status of prescription antibiotic use. From July 2016 to June 2017, a total of 40 bacterial pathogens were isolated from blood samples from 100 clinically suspected patients at a teaching hospital in Savar, Dhaka. The blood samples were subjected to analysis byWidal test, microscopy, culture and susceptibility testing using conventional bacteriological methods. A total of 40% of cases had an established bacterial etiology with S. typhi. The highest antimicrobial susceptibility to S. typhi was observed for meropenem (77.5%), gentamicin and imipenem (72.5%), and cefotaxime (70%), respectively. The maximum resistance was observed in the penicillin group, such as (80%) followed by cotrimoxazole (75%). Carbapenem-type beta-lactam antibiotics (meropenem, imipenem) and third-generation cephalosporins (cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and ceftazidime) were the most effective drugs for typhoid fever. Prescription survey results in four cities in Bangladesh showed that typhoid patients were mainly prescribed third-generation cephalosporins such as cefixime (36.73%) and ceftriaxone (18.37%). The findings are important for an adequate identification of the pathogens and their antibiotic resistance for the correct selection of antibiotics in typhoid fever. The study has implications for the development of guidelines for prescribing antibiotics for typhoid fever in Bangladesh.

Conditions for the sustainability of democracy according to Aristotle
Authors: Mrozek Jacek , Gawliczek Piotr
Published: April 2023

Purpose: to present the national security environment from the perspective of the main assumptions formulated by Aristotle. This was he, who examined 158 constitutions of states, and he also undertook the work of describing the known regimes in detail. He can be considered the first thinker to approach the entire spectrum of political and social issues in a scientific manner.

Method: the research was conducted using the following general scientific and special methods: the historical method during the study of the examination of constitutions by Aristotle; the method of analysis and synthesis related to the functioning of the state by Aristotle, abstract-logical method – for formulating theoretical generalizations and research conclusions.

The results of the study: are related to Aristotleʼs indications, that a democratic system can be a matrix for other forms of government and of utmost importance is to preserve sustainability. The intention was not to develop or to reject the existing theories, but it was possible to formulate the assumption, that democracy, as we know it, has been a specific system whose durability depends on specific virtues and goods, most often called liberal.

Theoretical implications: the practitioners can learn from the paper, that following Aristotle, the virtue of moderation should be incorporated into the cross-section of liberal political values for the benefit of the sustainability of democracy and the citizens who participate in its achievements. In this respect, the relationship between politics and ethics was revealed, which is characteristic of the classically understood philosophy of politics.

Practical implications: the findings could serve as the research streams related to deeper analysis of the democratic systems, and the relations with the essence of the democracy of ancient Athens and looking for inspiration and parallel solutions for the political culture of current liberal democratic societies.

Authors: Lubskyi Mykola , Orlenko Tetiana , Piestova Iryna , Andreiev Artem , Lysenko Artur
Published: April 2023

Earth's surface monitoring allows the assessment of the dynamics and mapping of desertification indicators and is currently one of the priority research regions in remote sensing. In addition to the fact that desertification is a serious global threat to economic, social and food security, the risks of desertification have also become relevant for southern Ukraine. In recent years, climate change has become more and more noticeable in Ukraine. As a result, the time frames of the seasons are blurred, the boundaries of natural zones are shifting, abnormal values of meteorological indicators are increasingly observed, and the intensity of natural disasters is increasing. Since southern Ukraine is most vulnerable to adverse climate and landscape changes, including desertification, the article considered long-term landscape changes on the right bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region, mainly represented by sandy massifs of the Oleshky region, which are called the Oleshky Sands. Arid landscapes, which include the vast majority of Oleshky, are especially vulnerable to degradation processes, so space monitoring this territory is an urgent task given the current global climate changes. Within the framework of the presented study, the long-term dynamics of several indicators of desertification within the sandy arenas of the Oleshkovsky sands were mapped. Based on a series of multispectral space images obtained by Landsat satellites for the period 1986-2020 was considered. Spectral ranges characterize the key biophysical aspects of arid landscapes: the degree of soil moisture, vegetation density and sand distribution. Regression analysis was used to illustrate the dynamics of each indicator, which showed a general increase in each indicator over the experimental period. Furthermore, we determined the relationship between the values of the rise in desertification indicators and landscape changes that occurred in the research region, the classification of several images for different years was also carried out, and spatial and quantitative changes in the distribution of land cover classes were characterized.

Published: April 2023

Cowpea is a food security crop and a main source of income for farmers in Nigeria. However, postharvest storage remains a major challenge due to insect pest attack. Infestations impose serious challenge to cowpea storage and negatively affect trade and utilization of cowpea in Nigeria. Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage (PICS) technology provides effective control against these storage pests, thus, allowing farmers to tap into better grain prices during the lean season. The study analysed the gains in cowpea stored with PICS technology in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study include; determining the effect of PICS technology use on cowpea loss and to estimate the returns to cowpea stored with PICS technology. Two hundred and forty (240) respondents were identified and interviewed using networking or snowballing non-random sampling technique. The analytical tools used for the study were the gravimetric (count and weight) method and marketing margin analysis. The result of the study showed that storing with PICS technology reduced weight loss in cowpea by 16.3%, valued at N3, 450 per bag per season. The use of PICS technology gave a higher marketing margin of N11, 297.88/bag with farm-to-retail price spread of 45.5% than N8, 285.83/bag and farm-to-retail price spread of 37.8% in woven bag. The study recommends that, farmers association be used as an avenue to promote and create awareness on the economic benefits of PICS technology.
Willingness to Communicate (WTC) Piaget and Vygostsky on Scaffolding in EFL Education
Authors: Jianguang Sun , Haratyan Farzaneh , Yanling Zhang
Published: April 2023

Piaget and Vygotsky have different opinions regarding the concept of scaffolding in education. Piaget assumes that learners can acquire skills in ZPD when they are aided by their peers in the same level of knowledge. However, Vygotsky advocates asymmetrical scaffolding in which learners are assisted by teachers or more knowledgeable peers. Willingness to communicate (WTC) as a necessary psychological mechanism affecting EFL education has attracted researchers’ attention for decades. This experimental study explores the comparative impact of Piagetian symmetrical and Vygotskyan asymmetrical scaffolding on EFL learners' WTC. 77 intermediate EFL learners were selected based on the results of piloted OPT and were randomly assigned to two groups of 35 and 42 intermediate EFL learners. In one group, symmetrical scaffolding (Peers' assistance) was employed, and in the other, asymmetrical scaffolding (teachers' assistance) was implemented as the treatment. The data analyses revealed that learners’ WTC improved significantly through Vygotskyan asymmetrical scaffolding that advocated the significance of the assistance learners receive from the teachers or more competent peers. The findings of this study embrace pedagogical and theoretical implications for EFL curriculum planners, practitioners, teachers, learners, and material developers.
The Translation of διελέγετο (dielexeto) in Acts 17:2 in Asante-Twi Bible: The Implication on Paul Personality
Authors: Adu-Kyei David
Published: April 2023

This article seeks to examine the translation of the Greek word διελέγετο (dielegato) in Acts 17:2 as gyee akyinnyeε in Asante Twi Bible. Using the Mother Tongue Biblical Hermeneutics approach and exegesis, the study finds out that the translation of gyee akyinnyeε sounds more derogatory. It is therefore suggested that the Twi word gyee akyinnyeε should be retranslated as mpεnsεmpεnsεmu in order to vindicate a man full of the Holy Spirit. The study will add to the interpretation of Acts 17:2 in the Asante Twi Bible. It is recommended that subsequent revisions of the Asante Twi Bible could consider mpεnsεmpεnsεmu.

Jinekolojik Kanser Hastası ve Ailesinin Psiko-Sosyal Bakımında Sağlık Profesyonelinin Rolü
Authors: BALKAN Elif , OSKAY Ümran
Published: April 2023

Her geçen gün kanser tanısının ve kanser sebebiyle ölümlerin yaygınlaşması, jinekolojik kanserlere önem verilmesinin altını çizmektedir. Kanserin önlenmesi ve erken tanılanmasının yanında, jinekolojik kanser tanısı konulmuş olan kadınların ve ailelerinin yaşam kalitesinin de yükseltilmesi önemlidir. Jinekolojik kanserlerde semptomlar ve uygulanan kemoterapi, radyoterapi ve cerrahi tedaviler sadece fizyolojik bütünlüğü tehdit etmekle kalmayıp, kadının beden imajına, cinsel kimliğine, annelik rolüne ve üreme kabiliyetine bir tehdit olarak algılanmakta, genital organlara yüklenen anlam nedeniyle hasta ve ailesinin yaşam kalitesi düşmektedir. Aile fertleri de ebeveynlik rollerinde bozulma, cinsel sorunlar, maddi kaygılar, iletişim sorunları gibi problemler yaşayabilmekte ve kanser tanısına çeşitli tepkiler gösterebilmektedir. Psiko-sosyal açıdan olumsuz etkilenen hasta ve ailesinin kanser sürecine uyumunu sağlamak ve hastalığa bağlı yaşadıkları olumsuz etkileri azaltmak için psiko-sosyal gereksinimlerinin belirlenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bu nedenle sağlık profesyonelleri jinekolojik kanser hastaları ve ailelerine verecekleri bakımda jinekolojik kansere bağlı olarak meydana gelen psiko-sosyal değişiklikleri bilmeli, hasta ve ailelerinin bu doğrultudaki ihtiyaçlarını belirlemeli ve buna uygun girişimler planlayarak bakım vermelidir.
Por um tempo para a Geografia

Published: April 2023

Neste artigo tratamos da dimensão temporal que se espera seja apropriada durante a análise geográfica conduzida junto aos estudantes da educação básica. Diante da polissemia e complexidade do conceito tempo na ciência defendemos a apropriação, na Geografia, do tempo por nós aqui denominado tempo da espacialidade do fenômeno (tEF), diferenciando-o, portanto, de temporalidades outras que acabam por se fazer presentes na Geografia Escolar. O tEF é aqui empregado na perspectiva de um conceito que atende a um marco teórico e metodológico, na presença de um sistema e em uma organicidade em rede que deve alimentar e conduzir o raciocínio geográfico na educação básica. Buscamos ainda demonstrar as diferentes temporalidades que, na BNCC – anos finais do ensino fundamental, acabam por se fazer presentes e se revelam pouco ou nada efetivas na interpretação de situações geográficas, a exemplo do tempo atmosférico e do clima, do tempo geológico e, inclusive, do tempo histórico.

For a time for Geography
Abstract
This article addresses the temporal dimension that we hope is appropriate during the geographic analysis carried out by students of basic education. Bearing in mind the polysemy and complexity of the concept of time in science, we defend the appropriation, in Geography, of the time here called phenomenon spatiality time (PSt), thus differentiating it from other temporalities that end up being present in School Geography. The tSP is used here from the perspective of a concept that has a theoretical and methodological framework, in the presence of a system and a networked organicity that must feed and guide geographic reasoning in basic education. We also seek to demonstrate the different temporalities that are present and are little or not effective in the interpretation of geographical situations in the BNCC - final years of elementary school, such as atmospheric time, climate time, geological time and even historical time.

— This report is based on a numerical analysis of a three-dimensional analysis of diamond-hole cooling channels in laminar forced convection of a solid body experiencing heat on one side. A diamond hole configuration was studied with different aspect ratios that give a minimum peak temperature at every point in the structure. The solid body volume is fixed and the channel aspect ratio is allowed to change in this direction. The solid body experiences heat flux ( ) on one side and the coolant is allowed to enter into the channels from the opposite side at a given Reynolds number ( ) such that 100 ≤  ≤ 500, and channel aspect ratio ( ) from 1 to 4. The results show that as the and  increase, the maximum temperature and thermal resistance ( ) decrease while the Nusselt number increases. Also, the  and increase, friction factor decreases and increases, respectively. Comparatively, for a given range of 100 ≤  ≤ 500, and channel aspect ratio ( ) from 1 to 4, about 4%-12% and 37%-44% reduction in the maximum wall temperature and thermal resistance respectively, were reported, while about 55.6%-75% and 50%-68% improvement in Nusselt number and pumping power respectively, were observed. The results establish that heat transfer is improved in the diamond hole channel at various Re and AR. Also, the results reveal that the Colburn j-factor decreases when  rises and the aspect ratio decreases due to the heat transfer characteristic increases. Again, pumping power increase rapidly as  and  increase, which causes a higher pressure drop across the channel and leads to higher energy consumption.
Strength and Workability of Concrete with Inclusion of Fly Ash, Quarry Dust and a Generic Naphthalene-based Super Plasticizer
Authors: Obi Kingsley O. , Adinna Boniface O.
Published: April 2023

Poor strength and workability often result in low quality concrete that can cause structural failures. This research work was conducted to improve the strength and workability of concrete at reduced amount of water due to the addition of super plasticizer by replacing partially the concrete materials: cement, with fly ash at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%; fine aggregate, with quarry dust at 0% and 15%; and the addition of sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde Condensate (SNFC) super plasticizer at 0% and 0.6% by weight of cement content reducing the amount of water to 0.45 w/c from the conventional 0.6 and 0.55 w/c ratio. Concrete cube specimens were prepared with these inclusions using grade M20 concrete and nominal mix proportion of 1:2:4. Sieve analysis test, specific gravity test, fineness test were carried out on the concrete materials, workability test was carried out on each concrete specimen, a compressive strength test and weight density test was done at 7days and 28days curing. The compressive strength of concrete made with fly ash, quarry dust and SNFC at 28days ranges from 19.58N/mm2 to 30.23N/mm2. These results were higher compared to those of conventional concrete. A combination of fly ash, quarry dust and SNFC was then recommended for solving problems of low-strength concrete.
