Authors: Nemli Gökay , Aras Ugur , Kalaycoglu Hülya , Kuştaş Süleyman
Published: July 2023

In this study, the effect of using olive stone residues (OSR) on some properties of particleboard was investigated. For this purpose, particle boards were manufactured from particles of white poplar (Populus Alba L.), which were partially substituted with OSR particles in amounts of 10 %, 20 % and 30 %. In addition, boards containing 30 % OSR, which had previously been chemically modified with NaOH solution, were produced. Phenol formaldehyde adhesive was used in the production of the boards. Chemical properties of wood and OSR particles (pH, alcohol benzene solubility, amount of ash), physico-mechanical properties (density, moisture content thickness swelling, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond strength) and formaldehyde emission values of boards were determined. Water absorption and thickness swelling values were generally decreased with the increase in the use of OSR. When the effect of OSR usage on bending strength, modulus of elasticity, and perpendicular tensile strength values were examined, a decrease in the values was observed except for the 10 % OSR usage ratio. As a result of the application of alkali pretreatment, an increase in thickness swelling values was observed, while the values of mechanical properties increased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis results showed more spaces between particles with an increasing OSR usage ratio. Formaldehyde emission values decreased with the increasing amount of OSR. Formaldehyde emission values increased slightly with the application of alkaline pretreatment. Based on the findings of this study, we can conclude that OSR can be used at particularly low ratio in particleboard production.

The main goal of the study is to produce eco-friendly furniture dyes by using bio-colorants and to determine the color stability of these dyes in outdoor conditions. In this regard, dye extracts obtained from red beet (Beta vulgaris), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), and purple cabbage (Brassica oleracea), as a bio-colorant source, were applied to MDF test panels by mixing with water-based synthetic lacquer coatings. Also, three different synthetic dyes were applied to MDF test panels in order to compare the results with eco-friendly natural dyes. Natural dyes were mixed with metal and natural mordants such as iron sulfate, aluminum sulfate and vinegar. Lacquer coated test panels, coated with natural and synthetic dyes, were exposed to outdoor conditions for 50 days in Denizli/Turkey in order to assess the change in color. As a result, the maximum color stability occurred in the test panels lacquer coated with synthetic black dye, while the minimum color stability occurred in the test panels lacquer coated with synthetic light blue dye. It was determined that the thickness of the color coating layer applied to test panels increases color stability. It was also observed that the color stability performance of natural dyes is as good as that of synthetic dyes.

Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar na literatura acadêmica o quanto o conhecimento sobre Educação Antirracista na escola pode contribuir para a prática da equipe gestora. A metodologia escolhida para a elaboração da pesquisa foi a revisão de literatura que tem por objetivo descrever conhecimento teórico científico por meio de livros, artigos, dissertações e teses. Para realização deste trabalho, foram escolhidos estudos com um recorte entre os anos de1970 e 2021. O conhecimento sobre Educação Antirracista pode oferecer à sociedade a desconstrução de narrativas que subjugaram a população negra, alimentando o racismo estrutural na sociedade. A equipe gestora, como responsável pela coordenação dos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos (PPPs) da escola, deve estar atenta para as questões no âmbito das relações raciais, visto que a escola é um ambiente vivo que contribui para a humanização da sociedade.
Relações de gênero e gravidez na adolescência: vozes de mães e pais adolescentes de escolas públicas
Authors: Lima Sandra Regina Rocha de , Gonçalves Josiane Peres
Published: July 2023

O estudo objetiva averiguar o que mães e pais adolescentes, matriculados no ensino público de Ladário / MS, têm a dizer sobre a gravidez na adolescência e sobre as relações de gênero que envolvem a maternidade e paternidade. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da gravação de entrevistas individualizadas com 3 mães e 2 pais adolescentes, com idade entre 15 e 17 anos, matriculados no ensino público no município de Ladário. Os resultados evidenciam que as relações de gênero se fazem presentes nas questões inerentes à maternidade e paternidade em âmbito escolar, sobretudo devido a divisão de papéis predominantes na sociedade. Dessa forma, em relação ao atendimento das necessidades da criança, predomina a sobrecarga feminina e, assim, muitas mães adolescentes abandonam a escola, enquanto que o pai nem sempre se compromete e/ou assume a responsabilidade de participar ativamente do processo de educação e cuidados do bebê.
RESOURCES AVAILABILITY FOR SOLAR MICROGENERATION AND ITS ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY IN THE REGIONS OF RUSSIA
Authors: Skafarik A.I. , Kiseleva S.V.
Published: July 2023

Measures to support electricity generation at low-power plants using the renewable energy sources as well, which were introduced in the Russian Federation, actualized the task of assessing the effectiveness of such legislative initiatives. The paper presents and tests a methodology for assessing the performance and economic efficiency of network photovoltaic stations, depending on physical-geographical and socio-economic factors. The results of assessing the potential performance of stations in various regions of Russia, obtained on the basis of archives of data on incoming solar radiation for the period from 2010 to 2020, are presented with one hour resolution. It is shown that economic efficiency of Solar Microgeneration Stations (SMS) in the study areas varies widely depending on the combination of such factors as the amount of solar radiation, retail and wholesale electricity tariffs, and the regime of electricity consumption by SMS owners. Despite significant solar energy resources, the payback period of photovoltaic stations in the regions of Southern Siberia (Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude) turned out to be the longest among all areas under study because of the established tariffs for electricity sale and purchase. Optimal conditions for the operation of such stations are characteristic only for the regions of Russia that belong to non-price zones and territorially isolated energy systems of the wholesale market (Magadan and Kaliningrad regions, Kamchatka, Primorsky Krai), where high wholesale electricity prices make the payback expectable within the guaranteed life of the station equipment (20 years).

Published: July 2023

Background: Human motor skills are the sum of all motor abilities and manifestations of activity. Somatic and functional differences between women and men may affect sex-related differences in motor skills. The aim of this research was to analyse sex-related differences in the physical fitness of young people aged 16 to 18 years.Material and methods: The research comprised 194 students attending randomly selected high schools in the Rzeszów district, including 104 females and 90 males aged 16 to 18 years. The research tool was the Eurofit test battery. The Mann-Whitney U test was used in the analyses.Results: There were statistically significant differences in the following tests for all studied groups: Sit-and-Reach, Standing Broad Jump, Hand Grip, Sit-Ups, 10×5 metre Shuttle Run, Endurance Shuttle Run (p>0.05). In the group of 18-year-olds, there were statistically significant differences between sexes in the Flamingo Balance test (p=0.003), whereas between the groups of participants aged 17 (p<0.001) and 18 years (p<0.001), differences were noted in the Bent Arm Hang test.Conclusions: Females, regardless of age, are more flexible than males. In turn, males, regardless of age, are characterised by greater explosive power of the lower limbs, greater static strength, strength endurance of the trunk muscles, greater speed and agility, and cardio-respiratory endurance. In the case of 18-year-olds, females were characterised by better static balance. In 17- and 18-year-old males, functional strength of the shoulder girdle and arms was higher in males than females. The speed of movements of the upper limb was not a differentiating feature between the examined females and males.

Published: July 2023

This study evaluated the influence of varying dietary levels of selenium (Se) and Zinc (Zn) on the performance index, carcass characteristics, and immune response in broiler chicken. The experimental trial was carried for 42 days with a 3 × 3 factorial design involving three levels of each Se (0.15, 0.30, and 0.45 mg/kg diet) and Zn (40, 80, and 120 mg/kg diet) resulting in nine treatments. Six replicate groups with eight birds in each were assigned to each treatment (48 birds/treatment). During starter phase (0-3 weeks), optimum growth performance and growth efficiency of chicken was observed at 0.30 mg Se/kg diet. However, during finisher phase (4-6 week) and overall growth phase (0-6 week), 0.15 mg Se/kg diet was found to be optimum. Similarly, weight gain during starter phase was higher in birds fed at least 80 mg Zn/kg diet. The carcass characteristics did not reveal significant effect of Se and Zn supplementation in broiler chicken. And, on similar lines, cell mediated immunity remained unaffected. However, better humoral immunity was observed in birds supplemented with NRC recommended Se level in diet, but the NRC recommendation of 40 mg Zn/kg diet was inadequate for better humoral immune response compared to 80 or 120 mg level. Further, higher spleen and thymus weight was observed at 0.3 mg Se/kg diet and higher spleen weight at 80 mg Zn/kg diet. In conclusion, Se supplementation of 0.30 mg /kg diet and Zn supplementation of 80 mg/kg diet resulted in optimum growth performance, efficiency, and immunity of broiler chicken.

Published: July 2023

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary boron supplementation on performance and mineral metabolism in broilers fed a diet with optimal or sub-optimal levels of calcium. A total of 216 one-day old broiler chicks (Vencob) of mixed sex (mean BW 43.79±0.83 g) were distributed in completely randomized design into six treatments each with three replicates of 12 birds (6 of each sex). The six dietary treatment groups comprised of B0C0 (basal diet with normal calcium (10 g Ca/kg)), B0C1 (Basal diet of 20% calcium deficiency (8 g Ca/kg)), B0C2 (Basal diet of 40% calcium deficiency (6 g Ca/kg)), B1C0 (Basal diet with normal calcium + 25 mg/kg boron), B1C1 (Basal diet of 20% calcium deficiency + 25 mg/kg boron) and B1C2 (Basal diet of 40% calcium deficiency + 25 mg/kg boron). The performance indices like body weight (BW), weekly body weight gain, feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded till 42 d of age. A metabolism trial was conducted at the end to determine the balance of minerals. Lower than the recommended level of calcium alone or with supplemental boron significantly increased the BW, feed intake, and FCR in commercial broilers at six weeks of age. Low dietary calcium significantly increased the retention of calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron and manganese. Dietary boron supplementation significantly increased the excreta concentration of iron and manganese. However, the absolute and relative retention of manganese and iron were unaffected when boron was supplemented into a low calcium diet; indicating the negative effect of boron on manganese, and iron metabolism can be compensated by low dietary Ca concentration.

Published: July 2023

To develop a suitable duck variety for egg type, one pilot study was undertaken to know the cross performance of Kuzi ducks with exotic duck breeds available in India. In the present study, comparative performance of Kuzi ducks and its two crosses with Khaki Campbell viz Kuzi × Khaki Campbell (DK) and Khaki Campbell × Kuzi (KD) were carried out with respect to juvenile growth, conformation, body colour and carcass quality. It was observed that significant differences exist between different genetic groups for body weights and Kuzi Ducks recorded higher body weights than its two crosses. The weight gain was more during two to seven weeks of age in all the three genetic groups irrespective of sex. Gain in body weight showed maximum gain during four to six weeks of age. This may be exploited in the future breeding programme. Multicolour plumage was dominant in all the three genetic groups. Shank colours were brown in most of the birds in DK and KD whereas pink in Kuzi. The study revealed that male ducks may be slaughtered at 12 weeks of age for meat purpose as thereafter they were not gain any significant body weight. It was found that the crosses of Kuzi and Khaki Campbell recorded lower body weight than Kuzi.
Exploring the merits of including an optional reflexive writing workshop within a compulsory undergraduate module

Published: July 2023

There is some evidence that reflective writing can have positive learning and teaching outcomes. Although there is some discussion in the literature about the merits of stand-alone creative writing workshops, to our knowledge there is not much evidence on the effects of a reflective writing workshop offered as part of a formal university module, with the aim to enhance and complement learning and encourage students to connect with the wider scholarly community through their writing. Brief testimonials were analysed using thematic analysis. The writing workshop appeared to provide a space to write freely while negotiating power structures in academia, a space to develop an individual writing voice and a writing habit. The publishing part of the workshop was also not taken up as much, which emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than product in education.
Analysis of Student Motivation of English Learning as a Second Language
Authors: Zulfa Vania , Zahidah Assyifa Nur
Published: July 2023

This research aimed at investigating the students’ motivation in English learning as a second language. Motivation is considered as a key feature in the success of language learning and has great effect on the efficiency and productivity of English language teaching.Students’ English learning orientation from the perspective of various important motivation concepts (from Gardner’s integrativeness/instrumentality to motivational self-system) and the notion of English as an international language. According to Rost (2006) motivation has been called the “neglected heart” of language teaching. Without student motivation, there is no pulse; there is no life in the class. The issue of motivation, particularly in EFL settings, is so important that other considerations about teaching methodology seem to pale in comparison. It is important to think about motivation as the essence of language teaching because of the stark realities of learning English for most of our students.
Influence of Ideological Themes in Social Media Political Campaigns on Voters’ Education and Participation in Nigeria’s 2023 General Elections
Authors: Suemo Jacob Shagbaor , Kusugh Ternenge , Okonkwo Beatrice
Published: July 2023

This study adopted mixed research methods to investigate how ideological themes in social media political campaigns have influenced voters’ education and participation in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections. Through questionnaire and interview research instruments, the study found that in the last 2023 General Elections, Facebook was more often used for political campaigns in Nigeria compared to Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, google+, Facebook, WhatsApp and Blogs. These social media platforms, as the findings demonstrated, were more accessible to the voters thus, have easily became tools for political campaigns and were used to a great extent for that purpose. Unfortunately, as finding indicated, the ideological themes dominant in these platforms (social media) were to a great extent, negative as they were dominated by insults, abuse of opponents, hate speeches, falsehood, blame shifting, ethnocentric and religious undertones, anxiety and apathy among others, thereby, to a great extent, contributing to apathy among majority of voters in participating in the elections. Posting, commenting and sharing were the various ways through which those ideological campaign messages were spread to voters during the period of the last elections. The study concluded that social media has come to stay as platforms for use among stakeholders during political campaigns but its influence is abused by negative ideological construction which to a great extent, affects voters’ education and turn up in elections in Nigeria.

A New Universe of Piano Sound?
Authors: Mead Philip
Published: July 2023

The starting point for this research is simply musical curiosity. I believe that there is a hidden treasure of extended piano sound which is at this moment locked away, waiting to be discovered. I have had odd, tantalising glimpses from time to time of a world beyond, yet have had neither the means nor the motivation till now to discover it. This research is to try to find the key to this treasure and to freely distribute its content to whoever may be interested. Julian Johnson (2002:129)1 has eloquently described the resulting possibility of life-enhancing developments: Not only does music offer the possibility of transcending daily life; it offers, in as many forms as there are musics, a reshaping of these categories. It doesn’t obliterate them in some narcotic emptiness, but reworks them and thus offers us new models of experience. And this has real power, because as we participate in this process of enactment, we experience new ways for ourselves. When we leave the musical work and return to daily life, we have tasted a different way of being, a different perception of the world. Potentially, this leaves us marked by the experience. It subsequently produces an altered perception of the world. There are two strands in my musical background which I hope can be brought together as a result of this research: extended piano techniques and electronics. Boulez (cited in Emmerson 1986:6)2 has succinctly summarised a fundamental paradox: As though by a defensive reflex, the greate

La pédagogie face à l’informatique musicale
Authors: Rascle Lionel
Published: July 2023

« Il faut choisir, se reposer ou être libre »Thucydide 1. État des lieux Lorsqu’il y a cinq ans j’ai voulu créer des classes d’informatique musicale dans les deux écoles de musique municipales dans lesquelles je travaille en tant qu’assistant territorial d’enseignement artistique, je me suis questionné sur ce qui pouvait être en jeu dans l’apprentissage de la musique par rapport aux logiciels eux-mêmes. En quoi des applications pouvaient aider les élèves à apprendre mieux ? Comment des logiciels pouvaient-ils permettre de comprendre les différents enjeux présents dans l’écriture musicale ? Était-il possible, d’un point de vue plus technique, de faire appréhender d’une manière claire ce qu’est un message MIDI par rapport à un flux audio ? Comment voir par où passe le signal à partir de visualisations simples ? Dans le cadre, par exemple, de l’édition de partition lors d’un cours de formation musicale, il était clair que l’utilisation de logiciels comme Finale, Sibelius, Musescore, GuitarPro ou TuxGuitar n’était pas envisageable. En effet, il s’agit, avec ceux-ci, de manier une interface graphique, mais pas forcément de comprendre les différents éléments du langage musical. Et puis on peut réellement se questionner sur la place d’un enseignant vis-à-vis de ce type de GUI1 qui offre tout, mais ne questionne pas l’apprenant. Finalement, on se retrouve plus à faire de la mise en page, qu’à écrire réellement consciemment de la musique. Même dans le cadre de la musique assistée par

L’espace entourant – l’espace personnel

Introduction Je présente dans ce texte quelques expériences personnelles, en rapport avec le sujet de ce numéro. Depuis 1982, j’ai utilisé l’espace sonore dans des configurations très diverses, allant des compositions mixtes aux installations sonores, en passant par des pièces pour 24 haut-parleurs et pour la Wave-Field-Synthesis. Ce texte présente quelques exemples, avec des questionnements, sur les besoins artistiques et leurs implémentations techniques et compositionnelles. Je vais commencer par un rapide survol de mon parcours musical et technologique. Figure 1. Survol historique J’ai commencé en 1982 à pratiquer les technologies analogiques avec un petit synthétiseur, le « Synthi-E ». Ensuite, un grand changement s’est produit pour moi avec l’arrivée de mon premier ordinateur en 1989, avec lequel l’aspect de la programmation est entré dans ma vie. Très vite, quand j’ai eu mon premier DX7, je me suis rendu compte que tout ce que je faisais avec cet instrument ne me plaisait pas. Tout ce que je voyais avec l’ordinateur ne me plaisait pas non plus. J’ai donc appris un certain nombre de langages, comme le Basic, le C etc., pour petit à petit me forger mes propres outils. C’était assez intéressant, surtout au début des années 1990, quand j’ai programmé un environnement de traitement en temps réel avec mon Atari. Le programme tournait sans l’utilisation de l’écran. L’ordinateur démarrait avec une disquette et un ensemble de fonctions était contrôlable par les touches du cla
Quel intérêt pour des musiciens d’apprendre la programmation informatique ?
Authors: Pottier Laurent
Published: July 2023

Dans nos enseignements à l’université de Saint-Etienne, nous essayons d’initier les étudiants en musicologie, majoritairement littéraires plus que scientifiques, à la programmation informatique. De façon plus générale, nous nous interrogeons sur l’intérêt d’enseigner à un large public les bases de la programmation, qui permet de devenir acteur dans l’utilisation des ordinateurs et d’Internet et non simple consommateur. L’objectif n’est donc pas de transformer des musiciens en informaticiens, mais de susciter des vocations et de changer la perception de l’informatique et de son potentiel pour la création musicale.

Published: July 2023

Las conductas de agresión y violencia son más frecuentes en las relaciones de pareja, esta problemática psicosocial, aprendida en la interacción familiar y las creencias irracionales de la víctima. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo general analizar la relación entre la violencia en el noviazgo y las creencias irracionales en estudiantes universitarios, la población estuvo conformada por 639 estudiantes, adultos jóvenes, de edades comprendidas entre 18 a 43 años con una = 21,28 y δ= 2,63. La investigación que se presentó fue de tipo cuantitativa, no experimental, correlacional, transversal. Se aplicó el cuestionario Cuvino de Rodríguez-Franco et al (2007) y el cuestionario de creencias irracionales planteado por Velásquez (2002). Para la medición de variables se utilizó el paquete estadístico Statistical Packagefor the Social Sciences (SPSS) versión 26.0 (IBM), a fin de conocer análisis de frecuencias absolutas y relativas, además de pruebas inferenciales como Spearman Brown, para correlación de variables. Se identificaron niveles de violencia en un 78,6% de la población estudiada, en cuanto a las actitudes frente a la violencia las mujeres experimentaron mayores índices de molestia ante las mismas. Las creencias irracionales que predominan en los hombres se relacionan con la posibilidad de sentirse inquieto si algo es o puede ser peligroso o terrible, mientras que el género femenino evidencia la necesidad de depender de los demás y tener a alguien más fuerte en quien confiar. Las correlaciones demostraron que las creencias irracionales pueden mantener o incrementar conductas violentas dentro de la relación de noviazgo.

Published: July 2023

This article reproduces the Lyrische Suite no. 2, op. 24, by the Austrian composer Rudolph Süss, with a short introductory commentary. First published in Vienna around 1921, this suite is a fine example of the enthusiasm for the guitar in early twentieth-century Austria and Germany, which resulted in much music that has been overlooked, overshadowed as it was by the emerging Spanish repertoire. Notes This article is one of a series of seven celebrating the work of Matanya Ophee (1932–2017) on the ninetieth anniversary of his birth. Written between 1982 and 1991, these articles first appeared in early issues of the GFA’s magazine Soundboard. The writings in this series are really columns—short introductions to scores, which are also reproduced here as they appeared in the original magazines. Ophee’s long-form research appears in various places, but an important anthology is his Essays on Guitar History (Columbus, OH: Orphee, 2016). An introduction to the present series, surveying Ophee’s contribution to Soundboard, is provided by Stanley Yates.

English and Russian Guitars in Poland: A Summary of Sources Using Open-G Tuning, from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
Authors: Gurgul Wojciech
Published: July 2023

Polish sources related to the guitar in open-G tuning are a little-explored area of guitar scholarship — one, however, well worthy of introduction. We can distinguish two groups of such sources, according to the period and the type of guitar intended: the first group consists of publications and manuscripts for the English guitar from the first two decades of the nineteenth century; the second consists of publications for the Russian seven-string guitar from the first four decades of the twentieth century. These two instruments were cultivated in Poland contemporaneously with the Spanish guitar. The Spanish guitar, however, garnered a significantly larger number of publications, both in the first half of the nineteenth century and in the first half of the twentieth century, and these publications have attracted some discussion in English (as in the two volumes of selected works by Jan Nepomucen Bobrowicz, edited by Robert Coldwell and Krzysztof Komarnicki, published by DGA in 2005 and 2008). By contrast, information about sources of Polish provenance for the English guitar and the seven-string guitar is difficult to find even in Polish literature, let alone in foreign publications. The purpose of this text, therefore, is provide an overview of these sources and to make them more accessible to international scholars.

Authors: Panyawuthakrai Rakkhun
Published: July 2023

This paper aimed to carry out a preliminary survey on teachers’ attitudes towards bilingual education (Thai-Tai Yai based) for local schools in border areas of Pang Mu areas, Mueang district of Mae Hong Son Province of Thailand, to reveal 1) the feasibility and requirements of implementing MTB program(s) in border schools; 2) the nature and implementation of MTB materials; and 3) the nature and implementation of MTB curricula. The research population was 109 teachers from 18 educational institutions. The research instruments were 1) a survey form about language and language use in schools and                        2) a questionnaire consisting of five sections: basic information of the respondents; opinions on the management of bilingual education; cost and need for creating primary bilingual media, bilingual courses; and suggestions, respectively. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively by using frequency, percentage, summation, and arithmetic mean. The results were that (1) the teachers were not ready for any form and aspect of teaching instructions—having few costs and making few demands for building and creating media for bilingual instructions in five related issues as follows: solid foundational media; primary media for listening-speaking Thai; preparation for reading-writing the Thai language; development of reading-writing skills in Tai Yai language with Thai characters; and enhancement of reading-writing skills with reading materials in Tai Yai language; (2) the teachers have few costs and needs for creating a bilingual model course in their schools on eight bases, namely: educational standards; Thai/Tai Yai languages; Thai/Tai Yai cultures; local needs conformity; basic language skills; multicultural understanding, Tai Yai cultural conservation; and teaching plans in bi/multilingual education, and; (3) the teachers lack knowledge, understanding of bi/multilingualism principles, and experiences. Conclusively, bilingual (Thai-Tai Yai) education was not a ready requirement for schools in Mae Hong Son border areas.

Background: There may be significant relationships between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and severity of inflammations. Method: All cases with digital clubbing were included. Results: The study included 104 cases with clubbing detected among 2.428 cases (1.044 males). So clubbing was higher in males (8.1% versus 1.3%, p<0.001). Mean age of clubbing cases was 49.2 years, and there was a male predominance (81.7%), again. Parallel to the male predominance, there were higher prevalences of smoking (69.2% versus 41.6%, p<0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (27.8% versus 10.8%, p<0.001), and coronary heart disease (CHD) and/or peripheric artery disease (PAD) (7.6% versus 0.0%, p<0.01) in the clubbing cases. Whereas the body weight, body mass index (BMI), and FPG were lower in the clubbing cases but the differences were nonsignificant probably due to the small sample size. But diabetes mellitus (DM) (12.5% versus 21.6%, p<0.05) and systolic blood pressure (BP) (127.6 versus 136.9 mmHg, p= 0.011) were lower in the clubbing cases, significantly. Conclusion: There are significant relationships between smoking, digital clubbing, COPD, CHD, and PAD probably due to strong atherosclerotic effects of smoking. Similarly, the body weight, BMI, FPG, systolic BP, and DM are inversely related with the clubbing probably due to the severe inflammatory effects of smoking on the vascular endothelium, again. FPG may behave as a positive acute phase reactant (APR) in mild inflammatory disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome but as a negative APR in moderate and severe inflammatory disorders such as smoking, digital clubbing, and sickle cell diseases. Key words: Fasting plasma glucose, diabetes mellitus, irritable bowel syndrome, smoking, digital clubbing, sickle cell diseases, atherosclerosis
