Published: February 2024

In recent decades the impact of agriculture towards achieving a sustainable economy in Nigeria cannot be under emphasized, though, in time past it has been a subject of several debates amongst development economists, food security and stability is key to the developmental economy of any nation thus, the need to investigate fish production and management in Abia state. Three (3) zone comprising of Awka zone, Onitsha zone and Aguata zone were investigated with a pooled sample inclusive as standard and the analysis was based on the following parameters: Socio-economic Characteristics of Fish farmers, Systems of Fish Production, Management and the Level of Fish Production Associated with the Fish Management Systems, Price of Fish and Net Return from Fish Production. The result obtained showed that fish farming is practiced by both male and female with 96.67% and 3.33% respectively; majority (24.17%) of the fish farmers are within the age bracket of 51-55 years, while 23.33%, 22.50%, 17.50%, 11.67% and 0.83% of the farmers are within the age brackets of 41-45, 51-60, 46-50, 36-40 and 31-35 years respectively; 100.00% of the farmers had basic formal education with an average of 6 years farming experience; 67.50% purchased the fingerlings stock, while 32.50% of them hatched their fingerlings; 60.00% of the farmers produce heterobranchus, 27.50% of them produced heterobranchus and clarias, while 12.50% of the farmers produced heterobranchus and tilapia; 12.50% of the farmers were below 40 years of age, signifying the need to empower and encourage the youth to go into fish farming. the mean output of a fish farmer per year in Awka, Onitsha and Aguata Zones are 3.88 tonnes, 3.81 tonnes and 3.35 tonnes of fish respectively with grand mean output of 3.71 tonnes in Anambra state. Since there is need to increase protein intake level of people of the state and nation in general, fish production has to be developed and all the constraints militating against its effective production be checked so as to meet up with the protein need of the people.
Letter from the Former Editor-in-Chief, Hasan Bayram, MD, PhD: Happy 30th volume and 35th year of the European Journal of Therapeutics!
Authors: Bayram Hasan
Published: February 2024

Dear Colleagues,
I have been very happy to see that our journal, the European Journal of Therapeutics, has reached its 35th year by publishing 78 issues over the years. Many congratulations!
I would like to sincerely thank the Editors and publishing team for their great dedication and efforts in helping the Journal reach this stage, and more importantly, the authors who supported the Journal with their scientific work and manuscripts.
I had the opportunity to contribute to our Journal, as Editor-in-Chief between 2014 and 2016 with great honor [1]. The preparation of issues, the editing and printing of the manuscripts were being carried out with limited resources within the Medical Faculty and Gaziantep University, and there were disruptions from time to time. However, in order for the Journal to reach the place it deserves in the publishing world, the issues had to be prepared on time, the peer review process had to be carried out meticulously, and the printing quality had to be improved. At that time, with the support of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, for the first time, a contract was signed with a professional publisher and an attempt was made to maintain a more uninterrupted and professional publication process. I have been very happy to see that this effort has continued with increasing momentum in the period after the period I served for the Journal. I am happy to follow the Journal closely and contribute by reviewing the articles sent from time to time. I sincerely hope that our magazine will rise to the top in the publishing world for many years to come.
Yours sincerely,
The Importance of Premarital and Preconception Knowledge
Authors: Puteri Mahfuzhah Deswita , Amalia Rizki
Published: February 2024

The term "premarital and preconception care" describes the actions women can take both before and in between pregnancies to improve their chances of becoming mothers and having healthy children. Worldwide, millions of women lack access to sufficient and high-quality prenatal, pregnancy, and delivery services. Improving mother and child health will therefore be greatly aided by filling in this large informational vacuum and providing the required resources. The four couples who visited the Sungai Andai Health Center were the activity's targets. Using lecture and question-and-answer formats, community service projects involve educating people on the value of knowledge acquisition prior to marriage and motherhood. Powerpoint presentations and pre-wedding and preconception pamphlets were the medium employed. Questions and answers concerning the significance of information before to marriage and pregnancy were also addressed in the previous session. Based on the findings of the pre- and post-tests, four pairs of prospective husband and wife had increased knowledge.
Animal Remains from Late Medieval Capabiaccio: A Preliminary Assessment of the Stock Economy
Authors: Crader Diana C.
Published: February 2024

The results of the analysis of the-animal remains recovered from Building J and Building M at the Capalbiaccio, Italy, site are presented. Capalbiaccio was a fortified hilltop town located in southern Tuscany which was occupied from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Residents of the town raised domestic stock and occasionally supplemented their diet with wild game. The faunal assemblages from both buildings are dominated by sheep/goat, pigs, and cattle, but the relative proportions of these groups differ at the two buildings. In Building J, which appears to be a residence, pigs dominate, but decrease through time as sheep/goat becomes more common. This suggests a small shift in stock raising or consumption practices during the later part of occupation of the town. In the area known as Building M, the dense deposit of faunal refuse is dominated by sheep/goat, rather than pigs, and the area appears to have been used as a garbage dump by residents of the town until it was abandoned. Mortality profiles for domestic stock suggest sheep/goat and cattle were primarily raised for their secondary products, such as milk, wool, or labor, rather than for meat.
Resource Use through Time at Paloma, Peru
Authors: Reitz Elizabeth J.
Published: February 2024

Animal remains from Paloma, a Preceramic site in the Chilca Valley occupied between 7800 and 4700 B.R, indicate that marine resources were primary to animal-based subsistence. In the Paloma material, terrestrial vertebrates and terrestrial invertebrates contribute 10% of the estimated biomass, whereas marine vertebrates and invertebrates contribute 90% of the biomass. This stratified site offers evidence for subsistence change, but the focus on marine resources did not change. Vertebrates of warm- temperate waters are common in the Paloma assemblage and more common than at Peruvian coastal sites farther north at this same time. Decline in anchovies between 5300 and 5100 B.R coincides with the brief presence of warm-tropical animals and increase in diversity. At approximately 4700 B.R, there is another decline in anchovies, an increase in high-trophic-level fishes, and a decrease in diversity. Data are consistent with the end of the warmer, more humid Hypsithermal around 5000 B.P.

Waqf is a significant socio-economic tool utilized by Muslim societies worldwide for the betterment of the public. Despite its recognized potential, empirical research on the factors influencing waqf contribution among Muslims in Nigeria, particularly in Gombe Metropolis, is limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the factors affecting public employees' participation in waqf initiatives. Data for this study is obtained through administration of structured questionnaire and analysed using Poisson and Tobit regression models. Our results indicate that waqf contribution among public employees is notably influenced by income level and trustworthiness. Additionally, the interaction between income level and factors like trustworthiness, religiosity, and altruism plays a significant role in enhancing employees' contributions to Waqf institutions. The policy implications suggest that stakeholders should encourage collaboration and integration of Waqf initiatives into public institutions, making it easier for employees to make regular contributions. There should also be specific awareness and educational programs designed to inform public employees about the significance and advantages of Waqf in promoting socio-economic development.
Islamic Fintech in Nigeria: Advancements, Compliance, and Future Prospects
Authors:   School of General Studies, Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, Wuntin Dada, Jos Road, Bauchi, Sulaiman Muhammad Auwal
Published: February 2024

This paper examines African fintech as one of the first fronts at which Islamic principles have intruded into Western finance, representing a significant step forward from an interactive financial paradigm. Islamic fintech is in accordance with Muslim teachings and has great potential for developing Nigeria's economic future. In fact, with such a large number of Muslims in this country it is not long before they get used to something like openness and transparency brought into Islamic Sharia on matters having concern with ethics. In the past five years, Islamic fintech grew even more rapidly than overall fintech. Its capability to make room for Muslim and non-Muslim victims of the pandemic reflects its spirit, vitality. Islamic fintech uses standards such as profit and loss sharing, asset-backed financing or banning interest (riba). These may be a new solution to the existing issues with transforming finance. The conclusion of the paper: There is a bright future for Islamic fintech. Not only does it benefit consumers, but its role as an exceptionally effective financial inclusion tool may even be greater than that of the profit-driven banking entities worked in before.
A Proposed Model of Halal Insurance Policy Scheme
Authors:   Tripoli University, Gherfal Fawzi
Published: February 2024

It is a well-known fact that Muslim scholars have declared commercial insurance in modern times religiously prohibited (Harm), mainly for the reason that it contains riba (insurance), gharar (misleading), and maysir (gambling or speculation). The Islamic Figh Academy declared the same because it causes a major element of risk, which voids the insurance contract; therefore, it is prohibited. Takaful insurance, a Shariah-compliant insurance, was introduced to replace commercial insurance by eliminating the prohibited elements in commercial insurance. While successfully introduced, Takaful still did not fulfill Shariah's purpose in preventing the injustice practiced, including profiting out of the agony of others. The author introduces a new Islamic insurance (FAWZ) to eliminate the elements of prohibiting commercial insurance while still fulfilling the purpose of Shariah (Maqasid al-Shariah). FAWZ-Insurance is based on a partnership model between the two parties, the insured and the insurer, a model or a transaction called for by Shariah as manifested in Surat Anissa, Verse 29, declaring that Tijara (commerce) is the only permissible transaction amongst believers, whereas Musharakha (partnership) is a form of commerce that is used.

Die Struktur des Lehrbuchs der Christlichen Wissenschaft - Unser Weg des Lebens
Authors: Kappeler Max
Published: February 2024

'Struktur' oder der innere Aufbau eines Themas spielt in jeder Wissenschaft eine zentrale Rolle. In seiner Analyse zeigt der Autor, dass auch "Wissenschaft und Gesundheit" eine geistige Struktur aufweist. Er begründet überzeugend, warum Mary Baker Eddys Anspruch, eine Wissenschaft entdeckt und in ihrem Lehrbuch wissenschaftlich dargelegt zu haben, zu recht besteht.
Der Hauptteil des Buches besteht aus der geistig-wissenschaftlichen Interpretation aller sechzehn Lehrbuchkapitel, die zugleich unseren Weg des Lebens beschreiben. Dieser ist zwar nicht deterministisch, doch folgt er einer göttlich-logischen Ordnung vom 1. Kapitel ('Gebet') bis zum 16. Kapitel ('Die Apokalypse').
Im Mittelpunkt steht die Erläuterung der geistig-kategorialen Tiefenstruktur des Lehrbuchtextes. Einleitend wird jeweils erklärt, was das Hauptanliegen des Kapitels ist; dann wird der Aufbau des ganzen Kapitels skizziert. Die einzelnen geistigen Hauptthemen werden zuerst durch eine prägnante Zusammenfassung kurz charakterisiert und im Folgenden eingehender erklärt.
Grosses Gewicht wird dabei auch auf die Erläuterung der Untersuchungsmethoden in der Wissenschaft des Seins gelegt. Diese beinhaltet auch die Matrix als Werkzeug, durch welche das unendliche Thema des Lebens-Wegs prägnant veranschaulicht werden kann. So lernen wir auch die geistig-wissenschaftliche Vorgehensweise der Interpretation.
Fostering Food Security through Enhanced Fertilizer Production: Examining Policy Frameworks

Published: February 2024

Agriculture is an important tool in poverty alleviation especially in rural areas whose economy mainly relies on agriculture as a source of income. Nevertheless, Nigeria is to face the food security crisis due to its agriculture sector which it heavily depends, but food consumption is imported rather than self-produced. Projections indicate that by 2030 Nigeria’s population will double the 2006 estimation which necessitates increased food production to meet the growing and urbanizing population needs and to open possibilities of exports. Apart from this, the country is faced with soil degradation as a result of inappropriate agricultural practices; erosion and gully, deforestation as well as climate change. It endangers the once dominant subsistent farm economy. The problems rose above show that there is an urgent need to review the role of fertilizers in food production for better food security. Proper execution of fertilizer policies becomes a powerful tool towards increasing agricultural production, malnutrition reduction and poverty alleviation through lowering food prices. Nevertheless, demand and supply factors like low farmers’ incomes, high market prices due the limited availability of fertilizer and public policy response also known as price incentives influence the low usage of fertilizers in Nigeria. In view of above problems, there is an urgent need to have a more holistic approach to sustainably raise agricultural productivity in Nigeria with a view to averting food shortage. Keywords: Food security, Fertilizer production, Agricultural productivity, Poverty alleviation, Policy frameworks
The Effects of Freezing on the Nutritional Composition of Fish

The degradation of fish in the storage condition of the freezer is influenced by several factors which include the fishing species, the rate at which the fish is frozen, the temperature at which it is stored, the duration of storage, the type of freezing applied, and enzymatic processes. The freezing and frozen storage lead to macro- and microscale changes of fish muscles, with major changes being lipid oxidation inducing rancidity, protein denaturation and aggregation causing toughness, red color fading and freezer burn. The process of freezing involves transforming water to ice which in turn results into an increase in the concentration of dissolved substances, adjusting the acid-base balance. It can lead to pH changes of up to 1 unit, often towards acidity and in some cases up to 10 units due to salt and other compounds precipitation. The described changes permanently alter the properties of the physical-chemical nature of frozen fish including the convenience and storage conditions of the food, thereby directing attention to the necessity of new approaches in technologies. Keywords: Frozen storage, fish degradation, nutritional composition, enzymatic processes, freezing effects.
Factors Associated with Failed Completion of Four Antenatal Care Visits among Pregnant Women Delivering at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital, Eastern Uganda

Published: February 2024

ntenatal care (ANC) was a key strategy towards improving maternal and child health. A recent survey data from sub-Saharan Africa has however shown that most women only initiated ANC after the first trimester and did not achieve the recommended number of visits. This study aimed to determine the completion rate of four ANC visits and factors associated with failed completion of four ANC visits among women delivering at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital, eastern Uganda (JRRH). A cross-sectional study design was conducted from February 2021 to April 2021. A total of 355 pregnant women at term admitted at the maternity ward of JRRH were consecutively enrolled. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to obtain data. Descriptive statistics followed by binary logistic regression were conducted. The variables in the final multivariate model were significant when p˂0.05. All data analyses were conducted using STATA 14.2. Of the 355 pregnant women recruited into the study, 98(27.6%) had completed a minimum of four ANC visits. Maternal age below 20 years (aOR=2.4, 95%CI: 1.61-5.21, p<0.0001*) and a distance of more than four kilometres were independently associated with failure to complete four antenatal care visits (aOR=4, 95%CI: 1.33-7.19; p=0.031*). A significant number of women do not complete the recommended minimum of four antenatal care visits in this setting. Young pregnant women and those without public health facilities within a distance of less than four kilometres are likely not to complete the recommended four antenatal care visits in this setting. Strategies aimed at enhancing the accessibility of healthcare services are very crucial. Health Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) messages targeting teenage mothers are key to increasing ANC completion rates.

Factors Associated with Undernutrition among Children Under Five Years at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital, Hoima City Western Uganda
Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western  Campus Uganda., Nelson Tumwesigye
Published: February 2024

Undernutrition was one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa. To understand the determinants of undernutrition among under-five children, this study was conducted at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital (HRRH) in Hoima City. The source of data was household demographic and socio-economic characteristics which included anthropometric data on under-five children at HRRH. Anthropometric data included height, weight and MUAC for the different ages of the children. Data analysis was done in the Epi Info program module and Stata statistical software. Multivariate analysis was done by fitting a binary logistic regression model to establish the underlying determinants of undernutrition among under-five children. It was found that children aged 39-59 months were less likely to be underweight than those aged less than twelve months. Findings also revealed that stunting was more prevalent among children of peasant farmers than the pastoralists. There was however no significant relationship between child wasting and selected child characteristics. It was worth noting that the study was essential in pointing out the particular age groups among under-five children as well as the occupations that contribute to undernutrition in Hoima City. Based on the findings, the study recommends exclusive breastfeeding and proper complementary feeding, especially among those aged less than three years. Special arrangements could also be put in place to have children of mothers engaged in cultivation brought regularly for breastfeeding. Keywords: Undernutrition, Anthropometric, Breastfeeding, Underweight.

An overview insight into employment of disabilities at workplaces around the world: A review of the literature
Authors: Nweiser Mishlin , Dajnoki Krisztina
Published: February 2024

Many people with disabilities still face difficulties and obstacles trying to secure employment. Organizations are doing more and more to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities (PWD), because it is in their best interests, due to factors such as a dearth of skilled workers, a lack of trained workers, a rise in the prevalence of disability among their labor groups, as well as in the laws and public attitudes supporting workplace fairness and diversity. This article used a qualitative methodology and conducted a thorough evaluation of the existing literature using a variety of different databases such as Science Direct, Springer, Google Scholar, JSTOR, and Elsevier, which were used to identify various research articles related to the employment of PWD. We looked at research on the advantages of hiring people with disabilities, as well as HR management procedures with reference to recruiting persons with disabilities, and also investigated the methodology this literature used. Our findings demonstrate that the advantages of employing disabled individuals are many. To better understand how advantages may differ by disability type, industry, and work type, more research is required.

The harnessing of clean energy from solar and wind constitutes the foremost renewable energy source in Indonesia. The amalgamation of these energy modalities holds the promise of heightened energy efficiency coupled with reduced maintenance expenditures. This investigation endeavors to synergize wind turbines with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels in a hybrid configuration, capitalizing on the turbulent effluent from the wind turbine system as a cooling medium for the solar PV panels. Further studies are needed regarding the Solar PV-Wind Turbine hybrid cooling system, as a system needs to be designed to optimize the direction of airflow from the turbine as a cooling medium for the solar PV panels without compromising the turbine's performance. Experimental-scale modeling is implemented in this study, introducing a flat winglet deflector configuration to refine and optimize the airflow dynamics traversing the turbine, directed towards enhancing the performance of the integrated solar PV-Wind Turbine hybrid system. The results showed that the installation of solar PV panels and the addition of a flat winglet deflector configuration could improve the performance of the turbine. The highest Cp and Ct values obtained were 0.18476 and 0.66404 with an increased value of 21.74% and 20.56% respectively. Using the Taguchi method, the most optimal configuration for Cp is obtained for installing a PV solar panel with a height of 10cm with AoA for installing a flat winglet deflector of 5°. In the ANOVA analysis conducted, it is known that AoA has an effect of up to 71.57%, while the panel height has an effect of 24.69% with an error percentage of 3.73%.

This study was carried out to determine the growth performance, nutrient digestibility and ceacal microbial population of weaned pigs fed maize cob-cassava peel mixture as partial replacement for maize. A total of 32 cross bred weaned male pigs were stratified based on their body weights into four treatments of eight pigs each in a completely randomized design. Animals in treatment 1 (T1) were fed 0 % maize cob-cassava peel mixture (CPMCM) while CPMCM was used to replace maize at 10 %, 20 % and 30 % in T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Feed and clean water were offered to pigs throughout the experiment that lasted for 60 days. Results obtained revealed that average daily weight gain, average daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio and mortality were not significantly (P>0.05) influenced by the treatments. Nutrient digestibility of crude protein, crude fibre, ether extracts, dry matter and nitrogen free extract were not significantly (P>0.05) different among the treatment. Microbial population of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus sp were significantly (P<0.05) different among the groups. Conversely, Salmonella sp and Micrococcus luteus counts were not significantly (P>0.05) different among the treatments. It was concluded that CPMCM can be used to replace maize up to 30 % in the diet of weaned pigs without causing any deleterious effect on the performance of animals
