Authors: HAMAAMIN SARWAR ABWBAKR , KHIDHIR ZAID KHALAF
Published: September 2022

The current study was designed to investigate the effect of storage methods, storage period, storage state and sex affect the chemical composition of wild and cultivated common carp (Cyprinus carpio L), which was collected from two different locations in Sulaimani: Dukan Lake and the earthen ponds at the Bazyan Farm. For analyzing, and test, 48 specimens from each fish source were chosen and kept in ice for six days. The genetic distance of cultivated and wild common carp was compared with sequences of the closely related species of C.carpio. The genetic distance estimated among common carp and other C. carpio ranged from 0.161 to 0.498. The results indicated that the moisture, protein, fat, and ash percentage were affected significantly by the source of fish. In the meat of wild fish, they were (78.034, 17.368, 3.344, and 1.023%) respectively while in cultivated fish meat, they were (75.194, 19.258, 4.072, and 0.997 %). Most chemical composition traits were significantly influenced by sex: moisture, protein, fat, and ash percentages in male fish meat were (76.561, 18.32, 3.709, and 1.021%), while in female fish meat they were (76.667, 18.306, 3.709, and 0.998%). respectively storage method has a significant impact on chemical composition, with eviscerating fish meat recording (76.644, 18.346, 3.661, and 0.996%) for moisture, protein, fat, and ash respectively, while whole fish meat (non-eviscerate) was recorded (76.584, 18.28, 3.661, and 1.023%) respectively in the storage period for (0, 2, 4 and 6 days ) the moisture (75.881, 75.909, 77.594, and 77.072%) respectively, protein percentages were (19.153, 18.860, 17.379, and 17.860%) respectively, fat percentages were (3.788, 3.787, 3.756, and 3.501%) respectively and ash percentages were (0.996, 0.997, 1.012, and 1.034%) respectively.

As many as 25 prospective physics teachers as respondents in this study. The research data was taken using a three-tier test instrument in the form of multiple choice questions with open reasons. The results showed that as many as 58.73% of respondents experienced misconceptions and only 30.82% of respondents understood the concept. Most of the misconceptions occur in the concept of thermal equilibrium. As many as 61.90% of respondents experienced misconceptions about this concept. In addition, many misconceptions occur in differentiating the concepts of temperature, heat, and thermal energy. A total of 59.53% of respondents experienced misconceptions about this concept. the average respondent has not understood the substance of the difference between the concepts of temperature, heat, and thermal energy. Many of them equate to the concept of heat and thermal energy of an object. respondents also do not seem to be very able to distinguish the boundaries between the concept of temperature and the concept of thermal energy.
Insomnia in Medical Profession
Authors: Krishna Bandhu Dr. Atithi
Published: September 2022

Insomnia is the perception of inadequate sleep resulting in a variety of outcomes. It can lead to a continual sensation of exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout, which seriously impact the performance level. Medical personnel ranging from medical students to consultants are susceptible to sleeplessness. The management and prevention of insomnia require various levels of intervention. Individual-level interventions include setting sleep schedules, using beds properly, abstaining from drinking, and exercising regularly. Similar recommendations at the institutional level include improving the medical curriculum, making the workplace flexible, and keeping an eye on the burnout rate. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of verifiable information that justifies more research.
Has COVID-19 Given a Boost to Telemedicine, and Is It a Viable Alternative to Traditional Consultations? An Opinion Piece.
Authors: Zafar Sana , Panthangi Venkatesh
Published: September 2022

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic hit the world in early 2020. It presented a lot of new challenges which included a new means of establishing patient healthcare through Telehealth/ Telemedicine. Telehealth was widely used to limit the spread of this viral illness. Telehealth came out with its advantages and disadvantages. We discussed a few points in reference to healthcare access to patients, the efficiency of care delivery, the professional impacts of telehealth and the relational dimension of care in this article. After weighing all the risks/benefits, we think a hybrid virtual/in-person consultation is best to serve the ever-growing needs of the population's healthcare. Further research is needed in this field to make a smoother transition to the virtual world.
Effect of Gut Brain Axis on Neurologic Diseases and Psychiatric Disorders
Authors: Ugur Ozturk Huseyin
Published: September 2022

Neurologic and psychiatric diseases represent a huge health burden, as they impact many individuals worldwide irrespective of social class or age. Evidence suggests that these disorders represent approximately 12% of diseases globally. Human and animal models have been used to assess the impact of the gut-brain axis (GBA) communication pathways in the disorders' multi-causal perspective. Various mechanisms have been suggested; nevertheless, systematic reviews focusing on the latest developments in the area are minimal. This paper systematically reviews the influence of the gut-brain axis on psychiatric disorders and neurologic diseases. Using PRISMA 2020 Checklist, the findings reaffirm the microbiota-GBA bidirectional communication and its role in influencing various neuropsychiatric diseases. Understanding these mechanisms could be crucial in developing novel and targeted treatment approaches to treat these disorders for health practitioners. Besides, policymakers should come up with guidelines to regulate such interventions. However, the included evidence and the processes adopted were not without limitations; for this reason, future studies should address them.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT

Background: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is common disease with frequent exacerbations especially in winter season. Frequency of COPD exacerbation is more among smokers as compared to general public. Current study was done to evaluate the frequency of acute exacerbation of COPD among non-smokers.

Methods: this cross-sectional descriptive study was performed at Department of medicine, DHQ hospital Bannu over a period of one year from 22-2-2021 to 22-2-2022. About 193   COPD patients aged 35 to 80 years were included in this study. Patients with other lung diseases like TB, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, pleural effusion, interstitial lung diseases, bronchiectasis and history of pneumonectomy were excluded from the study. Complete history including history of smoking, socio economic status and co morbidities was taken. Complete general physical and systemic examination including chest and cardiovascular examination was performed. Spirometry was done and findings were recorded.

Results: Among 193 patients, 55.4% and 44.6% were male and female respectively. Mean age was 58.89 years ± 10.82 SD. Among these 193 patients, 88.1% were uneducated, 6.2%, 29.6%, 32.6% and 31.6% were presented with mild, moderate, severe and very severe COPD respectively. Among them, 22.3% patients were hypertensive, 14% were diabetic and 1.6% were having thyroid disease. Frequency of non-smoker (50.3%) was stratified on the basis of gender (p=0.01), age (p= 0.16), duration of COPD (p=0.001), educational status (p=0.03), spirometry findings (p=0.73), hypertension (p=0.41), diabetes mellitus (p=0.85) and thyroid diseases (p=0.55).

Conclusion: Approximately half of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were non-smokers. Of these, females were more likely to be non-smokers than males.

Abstract  North Sulawesi Province has experienced 600% growth in the tourism sector since 2015 and received The Rising Star award on April 25, 2019. Unfortunately, this tourism cake cannot be enjoyed by entrepreneurs in the tourism sector evenly, this is due, among other things, to the absence of promotion of tourism businesses. on a provincial scale that can be accessed by potential tourists and tourists themselves. This study aims to design a tourism business promotion on a provincial scale which is expected to be used as a reference for building a tourism information system as a forum for promoting the tourism industry in North Sulawesi. The design of the tourism information system uses the waterfall method, using several modeling tools including use case diagrams, and Entity relationalship diagrams, in addition to using interviews, observations for data collection. The results of this study are the design of a tourism information system as a forum for promoting the tourism business industry, which is expected to be used as a reference for the development of an information system which later in its implementation can be accessed by prospective tourists and tourists so that through the information system, tourism business actors can increase their income.
1980-2000 Arası Türkiye’de Kadın Haklarının Tarihsel Gelişimi
Authors: EMİROĞLU Atiye
Published: September 2022

Kadın hakları ve bu konudaki mücadeleler, tarih boyunca ve hemen her toplumda görülmektedir. Bir ülkenin gelişmiş ya da gelişmekte olması bu durumu değiştirmemektedir. İleri görüşlü lider kimliğiyle M. Kemal Atatürk, kadınlara haklar tanınması noktasında dönemin şartlarına göre oldukça cömert davranmış ve toplumun alışık olmadığı bir şekilde kadınlara erkeklerle eşit olmalarının yolunu açmıştır. Ancak bu yolun uzunluğu geleneksel bir yapıya sahip olan Türk toplumu açısından zor ve çetin bir yoldur. Kadın haklarının 1980-2000 arası kapsamında incelenen bu çalışmanın diğer ayaklarını 1923-1960; 1960-1980 ve 2000 yılından günümüze şeklindeki çalışmalar oluşturmaktadır. İlk iki çalışma kabul edilmiş olup yayın aşamasındadır. Bu çalışmaların temel amacı kadın haklarının tarihsel gelişim içerisinde değerlendirerek bu konudaki eksik ve aksaklıkları açığa çıkarmaktır. Araştırmada birinci el kaynaklar tercih edilmiş olup içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Meclis arşivi; Milli Kütüphane Arşivi; kanun ve yönetmelikler; süreli yayınlar ve bu konu üzerinde yapılan çalışmalar araştırmada kullanılmıştır. Yapılan araştırma çerçevesinde, halkı temsil eden Meclis’te dahi kadın hakları konusuna yeterince değinilmediği ve toplumun bu konuyla ilgili eğitilmeleri noktasında gerekli adımların atılmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Aynı durum gazete ve dergiler için de geçerli olup gerek partiler nezdinde gerek gazetelerin köşe yazılarında kadın haklarını savunan ve konuşanların kadınlar olduğu görülmektedir. Konun erkeklerin çoğunlukta olduğu Meclis’te dikkate alınmaması, günümüzde geleneksel toplumun kendinden beklediği normlarla hem iş kadını hem de ev kadını olan kadının sırtındaki yükün ağırlaşmasına neden olmuştur. Kadın, geleneksel toplumun kendisinden beklenenlere karşılık vermediği zaman toplumdan dışlanmış, dayak yemiş ve hatta cinayete kurban edilmiştir.
MON ALIMENTATION, ET ALORS ? CORRELATION ENTRE AUTO-EVALUATION DE L'ALIMENTATION ET SCORE D'ADHERENCE AU REGIME MEDITERRANEEN
Authors: LECLERCQ M , ROCHE S , FAUVERNIER M , LETRILLIART L , MARTIN A , MACABREY J
Published: September 2022

Introduction. De nombreuses études évaluent le lien entre les comportements alimentaires et la santé, mais peu s’intéressent à l’auto-évaluation de l’alimentation. Elle est un des premiers facteurs modifiables en prévention des maladies chroniques. Néanmoins, la qualité de l’alimentation doit être connue pour être modifiée. Objectifs. Évaluer la corrélation entre l’auto-évaluation de l’alimentation et l’évaluation objective par le Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MeDAS) ; évaluer les facteurs qui influencent sur cette auto-évaluation. Méthodes. Étude transversale et observationnelle. Un questionnaire informatisé et sécurisé a été proposé aux volontaires de deux maisons de santé pluriprofessionnelles. Les données sociodémographiques et anthropométriques, l’avis subjectif sur la qualité de l’alimentation et le MeDAS ont été renseignés. 250 volontaires ont été inclus et 237 questionnaires exploitables. Le seuil de 0,7 a été choisi pour estimer qu’une corrélation statistique inférieure ne permettait pas de conclure que le score subjectif reflétait le MeDAS. Résultats. L’analyse retrouvait un coefficient de corrélation à 0,38 (IC95 = 0,25-0,49). Les participants avec des facteurs protecteurs des maladies cardiométaboliques avaient un meilleur équilibre perçu. Ceux qui présentaient des facteurs de risque avaient un moins bon équilibre perçu que les participants ne présentant pas ces facteurs : activité physique modérée (OR = 3,03), intense (OR = 2,35), couple (OR = 2,15), obésité (OR = 0,23), > 5 cigarettes/j (OR = 0,44), grignotage (OR = 0,28). Conclusion. La corrélation entre l’auto-évaluation et le MeDAS étant faible, l’évaluation subjective ne pouvait pas se substituer au MeDAS. Les participants n’auto-évaluaient pas parfaitement leur alimentation, mais il existait une certaine corrélation. L’enjeu serait donc d’identifier les freins au changement d’alimentation des personnes le nécessitant qui, pourtant, ont conscience de leur mauvaise alimentation.

Das Verhältnis zwischen Familie und Lebenswelt im Kontext des phänomenologischen Ansatzes von Edmund Husserl
Authors: Rynkiewicz Kazimierz
Published: September 2022

Der Aufsatz ist bestrebt, das Verhältnis zwischen der Familie und der Lebenswelt phänomenologisch zu skizzieren. Durch den Bezug auf Husserl wird die grundlegende Perspektive der Analyse formuliert. Daraus ergibt sich, dass zwei Typen von phänomenologischen Komponenten zu beachten sind: vorwissenschaftliche und wissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge. Dann lassen sich verschiedene Familienmuster entwickeln. In diesem Prozess kommt vor allem der These „Die Annahme seiner selbst” eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Die ontische Verstärkung der Verantwortung darf im Bereich des Sozialen nicht zu kurz kommen.
Pedagogy of Performative Silence
Authors: Dey Sayan ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2022

Usually, during any form of communication in an institutional classroom and beyond, the phenomenon of “silence” is regarded as a form of epistemological and ontological absence. To elaborate further, the act of remaining silent is usually equated with incapability and nothingness. The authenticity and relevance of building and sharing knowledge with one another are mostly judged on the basis of one’s capability to verbally express. But silence as a form of communication and knowledge dissemination has been an integral part of several native indigenous communities across the planet. It was with the emergence of European colonization, that such silent systems of knowledge production were disbanded as mysterious and invalid. The exercise of disbanding the phenomenon of silence continues to take place through the colonial/modern vocal-centric pedagogical practices in the contemporary era. With respect to these arguments, this essay attempts to explore the possible ways through which silence, along with vocal pedagogical practices, can be performed in an intersectional manner as a habitual pedagogical practice in educational institutions today. To justify the possibilities contextually, the author shares pedagogical instances mostly from India. This essay is the third part of the three-part pedagogy series. The other two essays are “Pedagogy of the Stupid” and “Pedagogy of Common Sense.”
No Choice for Incompatibilism
Authors: De Rizzo Julio ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2022

P. van Inwagen famously offered three precise versions of the so-called Consequence Argument for incompatibilism. The third of these essentially employs the notion of an agent’s having a choice with respect to a proposition. In this paper, I offer two intuitively attractive accounts of this notion in terms of the explanatory connective ‘because’ and explore the prospects of the third argument once they are in play. Under either account, the argument fails.

Authors: Bogen Steven A. , Dabbs David J. , Miller Keith D. , Nielsen Søren , Parry Suzanne C. , Szabolcs Matthias J. , t'Hart Nils , Taylor Clive R. , Torlakovic Emina E.
Published: September 2022

Context.—

The authors announce the launch of the Consortium for Analytic Standardization in Immunohistochemistry, funded with a grant from the National Cancer Institute. As with other laboratory testing, analytic standards are important for many different stakeholders: commercial vendors of instruments and reagents, biopharmaceutical firms, pathologists, scientists, clinical laboratories, external quality assurance organizations, and regulatory bodies. Analytic standards are customarily central to assay development, validation, and method transfer into routine assays and are critical quality assurance tools.

Objective.—

To improve immunohistochemistry (IHC) test accuracy and reproducibility by integrating analytic standards into routine practice. To accomplish this mission, the consortium has 2 mandates: (1) to experimentally determine analytic sensitivity thresholds (lower and upper limits of detection) for selected IHC assays, and (2) to inform IHC stakeholders of what analytic standards are, why they are important, and how and for what purpose they are used. The consortium will then publish the data and offer analytic sensitivity recommendations where appropriate. These mandates will be conducted in collaboration and coordination with clinical laboratories, external quality assurance programs, and pathology organizations.

Data Sources.—

Literature review and published external quality assurance data.

Conclusions.—

Integration of analytic standards is expected to (1) harmonize and standardize IHC assays; (2) improve IHC test accuracy and reproducibility, both within and between laboratories; and (3) dramatically simplify and improve methodology transfer for new IHC protocols from published literature or clinical trials to clinical IHC laboratories.

Published: September 2022

É bastante conhecida a interrogação do filósofo Immanuel Kant a respeito da possibilidade ou não de se ensinar filosofia. Partindo-se da premissa de que não é possível dissociar a filosofia de seu ensino, este artigo se propôs a responder a seguinte questão: de que maneira a Revista Digital de Ensino de Filosofia (ReFiLo) contribui para o debate e o fortalecimento da educação filosófica no Brasil? Para responder a esta pergunta, realizou-se uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, adotando-se a pesquisa bibliométrica para caracterizar a produção científica publicada pela revista entre 2015 e 2021. Os resultados do estudo indicaram que a ReFiLo difundiu 116 publicações, as quais 76% referem-se a artigos de periódicos científicos. Os dados revelaram, ainda, que essas publicações foram produzidas por 155 filósofos e filósofas da educação com formações acadêmicas variadas, especialmente nas áreas de filosofia e educação. Os resultados mostraram, também, que a pesquisa bibliográfica e a documental foram as mais utilizadas na construção dos trabalhos publicados pela ReFiLo. As 116 publicações geraram um total de 217 palavras-chave, que representaram o conteúdo filosófico-educacional dos trabalhos comunicados. Por fim, os dados sinalizaram que as 116 publicações foram escritas, sustentando-se teórica e metodologicamente, em 1.011 obras. Esta pesquisa concluiu que a ReFiLo se caracteriza por ser um periódico filosófico-educacional aberto e democrático que recepciona, avalia e publica reflexões sobre a educação filosófica produzida por autores/as com diferentes capitais filosófico-educacionais acumulados e que promovem os movimentos de resistências para manter a filosofia viva nos currículos escolares.

Published: September 2022

Loss of apoptosis results in the survival and uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells. Basic and clinical researchers have dissected myriads of central regulators of apoptosis. Second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases (SMAC)/ direct inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP)-binding protein with low pI (DIABLO) has attracted phenomenal attention because of its amazing ability to trigger apoptotic death. Accordingly, different teams of interdisciplinary researchers are working on the design and development of SMAC mimetics which can significantly inhibit primary and secondary tumor growth.

Published: September 2022

Every economic or health crisis forces insurance companies to take into account the sensitivity of their portfolios and adjust their business, notably in terms of proper risk management. This paper examines the effects of the pandemic on the profits of insurance companies and insurance premiums, where the impact of changes in travel health insurance premiums on the realized profits of insurance companies is particularly analysed since the premiums of travel health insurance are most affected by the health crisis. The impact of the pandemic on the insurance sector was explored by a comparative analysis of insurance premiums and profit before and after the pandemic. The analysis of the impact variation of the travel health insurance premium on the realized profit of insurance companies was performed by applying a panel data regression analysis. The obtained results show that the pandemic has not significantly affected the insurance sector in the Republic of Serbia, whereas the impact of changes in travel health insurance premiums on the profit of insurance companies in the Republic of Serbia is also not significant.
Phenomenology of insurable interest in life assurance
Authors: Uzelac Ozren
Published: September 2022

Subjective attitude towards tangible or intangible possessions is the driving force of the person's will to seek the means of their protection. In this paper, the institute of interest is generally analysed through the philosophy of enlightened self-interest and economics, while in in the field of law, "interest" is compared to the subjective right and condition in law. Subsequently, the subject of research is the position of legal theory in relation to the need for interest in personal insurance, also explored through the analysis of the characteristics of certain types of life assurance and rationales for effecting such assurance. The current circumstances are briefly addressed in comparative legal systems, with a special focus on English law. At the end of the paper, an example of legally regulated obligations of insurance sales agents to act in the best interest of policyholders and insured persons is presented at the level of the European Union, together with the example of French law regulating conflicts of interest in life assurance.
Regulating socially-owned capital in insurance companies in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Balaban Mladenka , Hadžić Dejan , Tojagić Rade
Published: September 2022

Socially-owned capital, as a specificity of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, survived in some insurance companies in Serbia in the first half of the twenty-first century. The possession of socially-owned capital in the total capital structure hindered the operation of insurance companies and practically placed them in an unequal position in relation to their direct competitors and other participants in the financial market. The aforementioned situation prompted the Government to propose amendments to the Insurance Law, which systematically and permanently regulates the issue of socially-owned capital in insurance companies.
Credit card insurance
Authors: Jovanović Slobodan
Published: September 2022

This paper first briefly discusses the legal nature and legal framework of the loan and credit card agreement, its specific mandatory elements, and the relationship between such agreement and the credit card insurance agreement, followed by particular aspects of a credit card, its economic importance, and wide spread presence. The second part of the paper deals with the classification of this non-life insurance service, and the nature and scope of risks covered by insurance. The accessory nature of the contract for credit card insurance is pointed out. The author divides the insurance of the credit cardholders into insurance in favour of the credit card issuer and insurance in favour of the credit cardholder, and then analyses the specifics of insurance in the event of unemployment and accident suffered by the insured person. The author concludes that the insurance of credit cardholders is carried out exclusively using the method of "named risks", whereas Serbian insurance terms and conditions have deficiencies in terms of defining covered and excluded risks, while there are circumstances on the foreign market for which no coverage is provided.

Over the past decade, a consistent theme in enhancing U.S. global competitiveness has been the need for U.S. leadership in critical advanced manufacturing technologies. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing, has been among those critical technologies. Recently, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing (SAM) and Subcommittee on the Materials Genome Initiative (SMGI) jointly formed an interagency team to analyze the slow adoption of AM for high-consequence applications. The interagency team developed this report to define the problems limiting implementation of AM, with a focus on identifying the specific issues limiting wider adoption of AM for high-consequence parts, and the R&D gaps that need to be addressed to reduce the risk and cost of adoption of AM by increasing confidence in AM processes and parts used in high-consequence applications. The sections that follow define the specific issues holding back AM technology and provide the context of the problem. This leads to recommendations to guide future efforts in technology development to ensure increased adoption of high-consequence AM and U.S. leadership in the field.

Када је престала употреба предмета које су те речи означавале или су нестале појаве које су те речи именовале, престала је и њихова употреба у савременом књижевном језику. Циљ је упознавање ученика са застарелом лексиком из домена материјалне културе. На часовима српског језика ће се остварити корелација и са другим наставним предметима (Моја околина, Математика, Музичка култура итд.). Постиже се и корелација између наставних и ваннаставних активности (фолклорна секција, новинарска секција, ликовна секција и сл.). На овакав начин одвијања наставе ученици би требало да покажу интересовање за традицију српског језика кроз историзме.
Parodia y política en el Fausto de Estanislao del Campo
Authors: Bueno Mónica
Published: September 2022

Estanislao del Campo’s Fausto’ gives the Gauchesco genre a twist by using parody as the central technique of the poem. The parodied text, Gounod’s opera, is based on the long conversation between two gaucho friends in which one tells the other the story of a wise man who sells his soul to the devil. Laguna listens to El Pollo’s story and intervenes at times, making comments and criticizing. The paper discusses the means by which literary “gauchos” parody the mechanisms of Gauchesco literature. The article establishes that through laughter, the poem proposes an irreverent distortion of the given that is eminently political.
Future regulation for the reduction of PFAS pollution in aquifers and for the improvement of drinking water quality
Authors: Merlin Angelo , Sottani Andrea
Published: September 2022

This Technical Note, inspired by some recent international scientific contributions, focuses attention on the relationships existing between the diffusion of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and the drinking water environmental sector. Firstly, the analysis takes into consideration published data to highlight the ubiquity of PFAS in the aquifers of various nations. There are also some health implications resulting from the exposure of individuals to PFAS following the ingestion of contaminated water. The technical background is then compared with the current state of the regulatory framework, indicating the reasons, collateral initiatives and precautionary criteria that must guide an urgent and effective remodeling of the law.

The Tchebychev distance on fuzzy sets (FSs) has been proposed to construct a measure of proximity between two modalities in a two-dimensional statistical description. The parameterized symmetric difference operations and cardinality for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) has been proposed. This paper extends to intuitionistic fuzzy set the Tchebychev distance and possibility measure on fuzzy sets. More precisely, we firstly use the parameterized symmetric difference operations and the cardinality on IFSs to propose a Tchebychev distance measure for IFSs. From these, we then deduce two examples of metrics. Secondly, we introduce an intuitionistic fuzzy mapping that preserves the properties of the fuzzy mapping. We use this mapping to propose a Tchebychev possibility measure based on IF-cardinality. This leads to define a proximity measure between two modalities of a given character in a two-dimensional intuitionistic fuzzy statistical description.

Aim: To assess the outcome of haematological and haemostatic indices in hospitalized Yellow Fever Positive patients treated using levels of full blood count, platelet count and other red cell indices at the Centre for Communicable Disease and Research (CCDCR) Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria.

Study Design:  Retrospective observational study.

Place and Duration of Study: Centre for Communicable Disease Control and Research (CCDCR), Federal Medical Centre Asaba, Nigeria, between August and December 2020.

Methodology: Descriptive data was collected from the records of fifty-six (56) patients aged 16 – 65 years who were hospitalized and treated at the CCDCR FMC Asaba, within the months of August to December, 2020 and 56 non-Yellow Fever subjects as control subjects. The patients’ samples were previously collected and analyzed for haematological parameters (neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelet count, mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) and mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), using an automated haematology analyzer. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 25 and P values less than .05 were considered statistically significant. 

Results: There were higher levels of total white blood cell count, eosinophil and MCH in hospitalized yellow fever patients when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). On the other hand, there was a lower level in platelet count of hospitalized yellow fever patients when compared with non-yellow fever control subjects (P < 0.05).  There was no significant difference in other haematological indices assayed which appeared normal (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be inferred that yellow fever can be associated with several haematological derangements which this study has succeeded to lay bare. Understanding these characteristics aids in planning therapy, management of patients as well as monitoring outcome.

Authors: Sousheel N. Yamini , Bhat Bharati N. , Devi G. Uma , Yamini K. N. , Sridevi G.
Published: September 2022

Three different modules were formulated and tested for the integrated management of the chilli viral complex at two different locations. Out of the three modules, the disease incidence was significantly less in module- 2 during both the years consecutively, which recorded 27.2 per cent during Rabi 2019-20 and 25.2 per cent during Rabi 2020-21 respectively. The correlation analysis for the whitefly population with weather parameters during Rabi 2019-20 and 2020-21 indicated that there existed a positive and significant correlation of whiteflies with minimum temperature, morning humidity and wind velocity; but there was a negative correlation with evening relative humidity and sunshine hours. In the present study, there was a significant increase in the intensity of the disease (viral complex) and there was a corresponding decrease in the yield, yield attributes of the chilli crop. The results markedly reported that there was a significant difference between the CBR of different modules in correspondence with the disease incidence which had a remarkable influence on the yield and yield attributes hence on the CBR. With the help of the present study it was evident that module 2 has lower cost of production along with enhanced yield and a profitable CBR.

Published: September 2022

An investigation was carried out in an experimental field of the College of Agricultural Engineering, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, to investigate the effect of different coloured low tunnel shade nets and different mulches on water use efficiency and nutrient use efficiency of chrysanthemum. The results revealed that the values of daily evapotranspiration under different colours’ low tunnel shade net were less than the values of evapotranspiration under open field for all months. It is because of the green-house effect and low radiation. The values of ET during the seasons were lower under white-coloured shade net compared to open field conditions. The results indicate that significant irrigation water savings occur in chrysanthemums under different coloured low tunnel shade nets as compared to open field cultivation. It is also found that the chrysanthemum crop requires approximately 31%, 28%, and 23% less water under white, green, and black shade net compared to the total water required under open field cultivation. The highest water use efficiency was recorded with the white colour low tunnel shade net (28.78 kg ha-1 mm-1) and this was followed by the green shade net (28.64 kg ha-1 mm-1), black shade net (13.09 kg ha-1 mm-1) and lowest water use efficiency was  recorded under open field conditions (10.58 kg ha-1 mm-1). Among the different mulches, the highest water use efficiency was recorded by the use of white coloured mulch (24.36 kg ha-1 mm-1) and this was followed by silver mulch (21.75 kg ha-1 mm-1), black mulch (20.82 kg ha-1 mm-1), and jute mulch (19.38 kg ha-1 mm-1). The lowest water use efficiency was recorded where mulch was not used (15.05 kg ha-1 mm-1). The highest nutrient use efficiency was recorded with the white colour low tunnel shade net (Nitrogen (N)=72.51 kg ha-1, Phosphorous (P)=12.37 kg ha-1 and Potassium (K)=73.84 kg ha-1 ) and this was followed by the green shade net (N=66.77 kg ha-1, P=10.28 kg ha-1 and K=64.33 kg ha-1), open field conditions (N=58.08 kg ha-1, P=8.72 kg ha-1 and K=56.36 kg ha-1) and lowest nutrient use efficiency was  recorded under black shade net (N=51.60 kg ha-1, P=6.98 kg ha-1 and K=49.75 kg ha-1). Among the different mulches, the highest nutrient use efficiency was recorded by the use of white colour mulch (N=77.53 kg ha-1 P=11.74 kg ha-1 and K=73.20 kg ha-1) and this was followed by silver mulch (N=70.50 kg ha-1, P=10.61 kg ha-1 and K=66.86 kg ha-1), black mulch (N=65.08 kg ha-1, P=9.51 kg ha-1 and K=64.09 kg ha-1), and jute mulch (N=57.75 kg ha-1, P=8.96 kg ha-1and K=64.09 kg ha-1). The lowest nutrient use efficiency was recorded where mulch was not used (N=40.22 kg ha-1, P=7.11 kg ha-1 and K=44.44 kg ha-1). The results indicated that there is a bright scope for cultivation of chrysanthemum under white colour low tunnel shade net with white plastic mulch.
A Numerical Study of the behaviour on Lock Volume Variations in Lock-Exchange Density Current in Cold Fresh Water
Authors: George Alabodite Meipre , Osaisai Evans Fiebibiseighe
Published: September 2022

The behaviour of warm discharge through lock-exchange was investigated numerically, with the assumption that density was taken as a quadratic function of temperature. Simulations were conducted eleven different times varying barrier position. This work as presented here is practical and can also enhance policy making towards the protection of the aquatic ecosystems. Such behaviours are evident in lakes, especially in holomictic lakes and warm discharge from thermoelectric power generating plants. The sudden increase in water temperature after discharge may leads to ”thermal shock” killing aquatic life that has become acclimatised to living in a stable temperate environment. The aim of this investigation is to better fathom and as well, gain more insight into such flows. The results show that regimes of flow is dependent on the size of the lock volume. The general behaviours here are dependent on lock volume, density difference and Reynolds number. Effects of back reflected waves on the propagation speed was not significant for small lock volume simulations. A rapid collapsing behaviour of fluid was noticed for simulations with small lock volume, and the velocity decreases with increase in lock volume in this same phase. Propagation speed is not totally independent of the lock volume. Cabbeling was also key at the point where water masses meet, and as well the development of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. Relations that describes the various regimes of flow are given in Table (1 - 11). Though, there are little variations in the scaling laws as compared to the earlier studied cases where density difference was by the means of salt water. Lastly, it will be interesting if measures can be taken to eliminate the effect of this back reflected waves in other to properly fathom the behaviour in thepropagation of the frontal speed after the slumping phase.
