Authors: Efegoma Y.C. , Ofili A.N. , Isah E.C.
Published: August 2022

Background: Job satisfaction is the extent to which people like their jobs and the positive perception towards work. Work experiences have  significant influence on psychological health. This study assessed job satisfaction and psychological health of university staff in a Nigerian university.

Methods: Four hundred and sixty-one respondents selected by a two-stage cluster sampling technique participated in this descriptive cross-  sectional study. Psychological health was assessed using the General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ 12). Data was analyzed using SPSS (26.0). Level  of significance set at p ≤ 0.05 and results presented using of tables and graphs.

Results: The mean age of the respondents was 36.02 ± 9.12 years, 261 (56.6%) were males, 311 (67.5%) married, all were literate and 380 (82.4%)  had been in employment for up to 10 years, (mean duration of employment = 8.3 ± 6.92 years). Overall, 316 (68.5%) of staff were satisfied with their  jobs and 342 (74.2%) were in psychologically stable health. Self-reported factors like job security, relationships with co-workers and supervisors  impacted positively on job satisfaction while others like amount of paid vacation and promotion opportunity did not. Psychological disorder  occurred more significantly among staff dissatisfied with their jobs p<0.001.

Conclusion: A majority of staff were satisfied with their jobs and were in psychologically stable health. There is need to address factors impacting  negatively on job satisfaction to further improve psychological health of university staff.

Authors: Okojie O.H. , Ogboghodo E.O. , Omoijuanfo E.A.
Published: August 2022

Background: Nigeria contributes more obstetric, postpartum, and neonatal deaths and stillbirths than any other country globally. Booking and  receiving antenatal care (ANC) is a vehicle for multiple interventions and programmes which improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study  was conducted to assess and compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes of booked and un-booked pregnancies in Benin City, Southern Nigeria.

Methods: A comparative cross-sectional total population study was carried out among booked and un-booked in-patients who had delivered either  in a secondary or a tertiary health facility in Benin City. Data was collected using an intervieweradministered questionnaire and patients case notes.  Maternal and neonatal outcomes were assessed as favourable and unfavourable and compared with booking status. A p-value <0.05 was  considered statistically significant.

Results: A total of 390 (260 booked and 130 un-booked) women, with a mean age (SD) of 30.86 ± 5.77 years (booked) and 28.48 ± 6.22 years (un-  booked), participated in the study. A higher proportion, 56 (43.1%) of un-booked women had obstetric complications compared to booked women,  85 (32.7%) (p = 0.044). Fetal morbidity was 9 (3.5%) in booked mothers, compared to 21 (16.2%) of un-booked mothers. (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Maternal and neonatal outcomes were better in booked pregnancies. Stakeholders should ensure provision of health and hospital  policies aimed at improving ANC to prevent poor maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Published: August 2022

Cystic Echinococcosis, among other food animal zoonotic diseases, heralds a significant zoonotic threat to meat consumers due to the lack of stringent meat inspection policies and poor awareness of zoonoses by most livestock traders/butchers. Therefore, this study is aimed at determining the prevalence of hydatid cysts in camels slaughtered at katsina metropolitan abattoir, Katsina State, Nigeria. A total of 392 samples were collected over three months (November 2019 to January 2020), of which 129 samples were from males and 263 from females. Information about the age, sex and body condition of the slaughtered camels were recorded. The carcass of each camel was inspected carefully for the presence of Hydatid cysts, the organs infected, and the number of cysts present. The data were subjected to statistical analysis using the Chi-square test (χ2), and significant levels were determined at p<0.05 level for all the data, which revealed an overall prevalence of 14.0% (55/392). The prevalence rate of Hydatid cysts was 16.3% in females and 9.3% in males, while it is 16.8 and 5.3% in adult and young camels, respectively. We recommend a holistic epidemiological study on the prevalence of hydatid cysts in camels and more public enlightenment for effective control measures against the disease in Katsina State.
Bergenin attenuates TNF-α-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in HaCaT cells by activating Nrf2 pathway and inhibiting NF-κB pathway
Authors: Ye Xin , Ning Haiming
Published: August 2022

Purpose: To investigate the effect of bergenin in TNF-α-induced human immortalized keratinocytes.Methods: Human immortal keratinocyte cells (HaCaT) were incubated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and then treated with increasing concentrations of bergenin. Cell viability was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), while oxidative stress and inflammation were evaluated using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: Incubation with increasing concentrations of bergenin showed no significant effect on cell viability of HaCaT (p < 0.05). Tumor necrosis factor-α significantly induced up-regulation of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in HaCaT (p < 0.001), while bergenin significantly reduced the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 (p < 0.001). Bergenin also attenuated TNF-α-induced decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Protein expression of IκBα in HaCaT was decreased, while p-p65 and p-IκBα were increased by treatment with TNF-α. However, bergenin increased IκBα but decreased p-p65 and p-IκBα in TNF-α-induced HaCaT. Moreover, bergenin reduced Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), while enhancing transcription factor NF-E2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in TNF-α-induced HaCaT.Conclusion: Bergenin exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on TNF-α-induced HaCaT by activating Nrf2 pathway and inactivating NF-κB pathway. Therefore, bergenin is a potential agent for the treatment of psoriasis.

Published: August 2022

Se analiza el impacto entre/intra estatal de la pandemia COVID-19 en el nivel de empleo, las remuneraciones y la producción en el sector manufacturero en México. Se estima un Modelo de Vectores Autorregresivos Espaciales (MVARE) para identificar si el rezago espacial de las variables externas a una entidad federativa agrega información sobre la determinación de las variables locales. Con las funciones de impulso-respuesta se cuantificaron los impactos que una entidad genera hacia sus vecinos (efecto-expulsor) y el impacto que los vecinos generan hacia una determinada entidad (efecto-atrayente). Se encontró evidencia de que ante una pequeña perturbación (shock) en el empleo, la producción, los salarios manufactureros y en el número de contagios por la COVID-19 de las entidades vecinas, se generan efectos diferenciados sobre la población ocupada de una entidad de manera positiva o negativa dependiendo del signo del coeficiente obtenido. Se concluye que el impacto en la propagación de la pandemia por COVID-19 fue más elevado en las regiones donde la manufactura tiene un peso relativamente mayor con relación al total de la actividad económica.

Integrative research for understanding intersectional stress among pregnant Black women: Postulates for music therapy and biological assessments
Authors: Loewy Joanne V. , Corwin Elizabeth , Jones Dean
Published: August 2022

Musical auditory stimulation impacts the brain and autonomic nervous system, yet few studies have undertaken a cross-analysis of music-centered interventions with biologic measurements to address the inter-connectivity between mind and body fragility in disparate cultures. Such analyses are now possible with evidence-based live music therapy interventions, compelling psychological and physical relaxation strategies, and untargeted metabolomics assessment, providing rich resources to address the succinct points of stress for pregnant Black women. This article will present the integral factors that we believe enhance subsequent investigative protocols. Highlighting integrative nursing research whereby critical biomarkers can be paired with behavioral assessments such as music therapy will likely lead toward innovative, interdisciplinary evaluative considerations that can render findings leading toward improved birth outcomes in at-risk populations. In defining uniquely separate strategic modalities prior to organizing communal research goals, our pursuit of encapsulating cultural relevance and vulnerabilities is refined and strengthened. The presented postulates further define and clarify options highlighting novel, collaborative and integrative approaches to evaluate and help underserved populations.
The Molecular and Cellular Underpinnings of Cirrhosis of the Liver
Authors: Mitra Manjeer , Swaminathan Anush
Published: August 2022

Cirrhosis is among the leading causes of death worldwide, making up 3.5% of global deaths. It is characterized by the replacement of the liver parenchyma with fibrotic tissue and progressively leads to complete failure of the organ. It is classified into 2 types – compensated and decompensated based on the complications such as esophageal varices, hepatic encephalopathy, asterixis, and ascites. The 2 main contributors of the disease include infection and alcohol use and these, in turn, affect 4 main cell types- Hepatic Stellate Cells, Hepatocytes, LSECs, Kupffer Cells. Commonly observed in patients with cirrhosis, stellate cells are characterized by a change in phenotype often seen in wound healing mechanisms and high proliferation whereas the apoptosis of hepatocytes is a key feature leading to inflammation. The polarization of Kupffer Cells leading to the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines is another key cause of cirrhosis and the change from a fenestrated to a smooth, capillarized phenotype is observed in Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells. The role of cirrhosis on the immunology of the liver is another important topic where changes in the concentration of complement proteins, cytokines can affect the number of dendritic cells and in turn, cause pro- and anti-inflammatory responses. Modern treatment for cirrhosis has been shaped based on these cells, complications, and molecules. In this review, we shall discuss all these topics in greater detail along with interesting ideas such as the reversibility of fibrosis as well as the future research on treatments, based on the current findings.

This theme is considered in accordance with the mission of the hospital and in the national context that is in line with JKN (National Health Insurance) spirit that targets Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in 2019. This study used quantitative research, the design was cross-sectional, without giving any treatment to the subjects. The research method used was a survey research method. Average patients in X Hospital stated that they were dissatisfied with the dimensions of Reliability, Assurance, Empathy, Accessibility, and Affordability. However, the dimensions of tangibles and responsiveness were suitable for what patients got in the service. There is a gap between the expectation of service quality affecting the satisfaction of outpatients in X Hospital. Expectation variable has a significant effect on satisfaction, and satisfaction variable does not have a significant effect on loyalty, so it can be concluded that satisfaction variable does not mediate the effect of expectation on loyalty.

Conclui-se que a microbacia tem potencial para o desenvolvimento de atividades agropecuárias, porém, é necessário adotar estratégias integradas para conservar os recursos naturais, com destaque para a adoção de práticas conservacionistas nos sistemas agropecuários e recuperação da vegetação nativa em parte da microbacia e na zona ripária que está ocupada com agropecuária.
First report of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) DNA in red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in Germany
Authors: Neuhaus H. , Pund R. , Runge M. , Kleingeld D.W. , Nardy E. , Fischer U.
Published: August 2022

This work describes the first detection of WSSV genomic DNA in decapods introduced into Germany via food for human consumption. A batch of cooked, frozen, packed and labelled red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) was imported into an EU member state and subsequently moved to Germany. Some individual crayfish of this batch sampled as a labelled consumer package during an official routine food control showed signs of White spot disease at food inspection. To confirm the presence or absence of White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) DNA, PCR analysis was performed. All samples of affected red swamp crayfish tested positive for WSSV DNA. The food batch was immediately blocked by the competent veterinary authority and destroyed. Although the introduction of infectious WSSV into the EU could be ruled out this case indicates the risk of global trading and the importance of appropriate border controls in order to prevent the introduction of listed or emerging aquatic animal diseases via consignments of products of aquatic animal origin.

Published: August 2022

The finding of a leucistic specimen of Helicolenus dactylopterus on the demersal waters of Portuguese Atlantic coast is reported. The H. dactylopterus morphological, meristic and morphometric characters described here matched with previous descriptions of the species, and a similarity of 98% within the genus was observed with regards to sequence alignment to the gene cytochrome c oxidase. However, a more specific gene may need to be applied to achieve specific genetic identification to the species level. Leucism does not seem to affect the condition of the fish as these factors were within normal ranges.

PAPR Reduction and Bit Error Rate Evaluation in OFDM System using Hybrid Techniques
Authors: Haque Md. Dulal , Rana Md. Milon , Akter Tithy Tajkuruna
Published: August 2022

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become an important component of waveform generation in wideband transmission. it's a superior technology for the high-speed rate of wired and wireless communication systems. Currently, multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO OFDM) systems are crucial wireless communication systems like 4G and 5G networks & tactical communication. The OFDM has many advantages over other techniques like its high capacity and immunity against multipath fading channels. However, one amongst the foremost drawbacks of the OFDM system is that the high-peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) that leads the system to provide in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation and reduces its efficiency. This problem increases with a rise within the number of transmit antennas. Therefore, it's highly desirable to cut back the PAPR of an OFDM signal. For this, numerous techniques are proposed to beat the PAPR problem like i) Selective mapping (SLM) ii) Partial transmit sequence (PTS), iii) Clipping, iv) Clipping and filtering. All of those are reduced the PAPR by generating alternative subcarrier vector that are statistically independent OFDM symbols for a given data frame and transmitting the symbol with rock bottom peak power. During this paper we also proposed, some hybrid techniques. The hybrid techniques are the technique of clipping is employed in conjunction with SLM and PTS to cut back computational complexity. And also the combination of SLMPTS to scale back PAPR. Simulations are acquainted with analyze the efficiency of the techniques used which signifies OFDM to be providing much better PAPR reduction and a way better Bit Error Rate (BER). it's shown in simulation results that the proposed scheme performs well reducing PAPR. But the proposed scheme is more complex than the prevailing techniques.

Authors: Komuraiah Bejjam , Anuradha M.S.
Published: August 2022

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are networks of sensor nodes that interact wirelessly to gather information about the surrounding environment. Nodes are often low-powered and dispersed in an ad hoc, decentralized manner. Although WSNs have gained in popularity, they still have several serious shortcomings, like limited battery life and bandwidth. In this paper, the cluster head (CH) selection, the Compressive Sensing (CS) theory, the Connection-based Decentralized Clustering (CDC), the relay node selection, and the Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA)are all taken into account The initial stage provided a theoretical revision to the concepts of network construction, compressive sensing, and MOGA, which impacted the improvement of network lifetime. In the second stage developed a novel model such as Energy Aware Talented Clustering with Compressive Sensing (TCCS) for the sensor network. This approach considers increasing longevity but also raises the network's overall quality of service (QoS). In the analysis, the TCCS model is applied to both the centralized and distributed networks and compared with the existing methods. When compared to the previous methods, the simulation results show that the proposed work performs better in terms of the calculation of maximum packet delivery ratio of 93.93 percent, minimum energy consumption of 8.04J, maximum energy efficiency of 91.04 percent, maximum network throughput of 465.51kbps, minimum packet loss of 282 packets, and minimum delay of 63.82 msec.

Internet of Things (IoT) provides interconnection of various wireless communication devices, which offers both ubiquitous accessibility of devices and in-built intelligence capacity. IoT offers interaction with devices and provides sufficient capability advantages of networking and socialization with consideration of intermediate devices. RPL (Routing Protocol for low-power and Lossy Networks) is an attractive model for effective routing techniques in the wireless medium. The increase in demand for wireless systems in terms of energy, reliability, stability, and scale routing IPv6 over 6L0WPAN is being adopted. This research developed an optimized machine learning model (WOABC) routing protocol for route establishment in IoT networks. The constructed RPL routing protocol incorporates an optimization approach for the identification of the best and worst routes in the network. The proposed WOABC evaluates the routing path for data transmission between nodes through optimization techniques for effective route establishment. The optimization of routes is performed with whale optimization techniques. The developed whale optimization technique is incorporated in machine learning networks. Also, the proposed WOABC utilizes an optimization membership function for the identification of the optimal path in the network. The performance of the proposed WOABC is compared with existing techniques such as RPL and Speed – IoT. The comparative analysis showed that the performance of the proposed WOABC is ~3% increased throughput. The performance of the proposed WOABC is significant compared with the existing RPL routing protocol.

Software-defined Networking (SDN) is a new technology for changing network architecture and making it more flexible and controllable. SDN can control all tasks of a network through the controller. Providing security for controller consider extremely important. Due side of the controller on the network side Network intrusion detection system (NIDS) will be effective to provide security for the controller. In this study, we suggest building a system (NIDS-DL) to detect attacks using 5 deep learning classifiers (DNN, CNN, RNN, LSTM, GRU). Our approach depends on the binary classification of the attacks. We used the NSL-KDD dataset in our study to train our deep learning classifiers. We employed 12 features extracted from 41 features using the feature selection method. CNN classifiers harvest the highest results in most evaluation metrics. Other classifiers also achieved good results. We compared our deep learning classifiers with each other and with other related studies. Our approach achieved success in identifying the attacks and might be used with great efficiency in the future.

Exposure to disgusting smells constitutes a type of atmospheric pollution from industrial and human activities. Complaints stemming from various sources of unpleasant odors have become a serious concern in both sparsely and densely populated countries. Hydrogen sulfide is a compound characterized by its disgusting odor. In this work, a new chemical reaction was incorporated to Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model, to calculate the H2 S air concentrations. A turbulent boundary layer flow is computed using the LES code ARPS 4.5.2. A LES coupled with a Lagrangian stochastic model has been applied to the study of reactive scalar dispersion downwind of a localized source of H2 S. The study case corresponds to the H2 S emission of cellulose mill. Two bad odor event was evaluating in order to compare the result of the model with the measured concentrations.  The results of this model application provides good description of the plumes for two event of bad odor records in the zone. The values resulting from the analysis of the air samples are within the concentration range estimated by the model. The model is a valid and useful tool to simulate atmospheric pollution episodes that involve non-conservative pollutants, that is, chemical species that, when in contact with the atmospheric components, react, and giving rise to the formation of secondary compounds. It is possible used the developed modeling system in cases of diagnosis and prognosis of real situations and even emergencies, with an appropriate level of precision for studies of this type.

Published: August 2022

Background: Traditionally, hypermetabolism is described in sickle cell disease (SCD). Despite this, few studies have compared rest energy expenditure (REE) with estimated by predictive equations (EEE) in the assessment of adults with SCD. Aims:  To compare REE values determined by indirect calorimetry (IC) with that EEE in adults with SCD. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed with 46 individuals over 34 years old in the treatment from two reference centers for SCD located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and IC  were used to assess BC and REE, respectively. Blood levels were measured to assess hemolytic and protein markers. Pearson’s correlation test was used in the univariate correlation. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman analysis were used in the comparison between EEE and IC. P-values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Most participants were from the female sex, Hb SS genotype (80.4%) and with black color (52.2%). The mean age was 50 years old. Weight (r= 0.469; p=0,001), LM (r = 0.631; p=0.000), BMC (r = 0.508; p=0.000) and CRP(r=0.319; p = 0.002) correlated positively with the REE. There was no linear correlation between makers of hemolysis with REE. The REE was overestimated in the EEE when compared to IC (p<0.001). Conclusions: The prediction equations developed for healthy populations are not accurate enough to determine the energy requirements and more studies are needed to better understand how REE role in middle-aged and elderly adults with SCD.

Abstract. Wood pyrolysis is a distinct process that precedes combustion and contributes to biomass and biofuel burning gas phase and particle phase emissions. Pyrolysis is defined as the thermochemical degradation of wood, the products of which can be released directly or undergo further reaction during gas-phase combustion. To isolate and study the processes and emissions of pyrolysis, a custom-made reactor was used to uniformly heat small blocks of wood in a nitrogen atmosphere. Pieces of maple, Douglas fir and oak wood (maximum 155 cm3) were pyrolyzed in a temperature-controlled chamber set to 400, 500, or 600 °C. Real time particle phase emissions were measured with a Soot Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SP-AMS) and correlated with simultaneous gas phase emission measurements of CO. Particle and gas emissions increased rapidly after inserting a wood sample, remained high for tens of minutes, and then dropped rapidly leaving behind char. The particulate mass loading profiles varied with elapsed experiment time, wood type and size, and pyrolysis chamber temperature. The chemical composition of the emitted particles was organic (C, H, O), with negligible black carbon or nitrogen. The emitted particles displayed chemical signatures unique to pyrolysis and notably different from flaming or smoldering wood combustion. The most abundant fragment ions in the mass spectrum were CO+ and CHO+, which together made up 23 % of the total aerosol mass on average, whereas CO2+ accounted for less than 4 %, in sharp contrast with ambient aerosol where CO2+ is often a dominant contributor. The mass spectra also showed signatures of levoglucosan and other anhydrous sugars. The fractional contribution of m/z 60, traditionally a tracer for anhydrous sugars including levoglucosan, to total loading (f60) was observed to be between 0.002 and 0.039, similar to previous observations from wild and controlled wood fires. Atomic ratios of oxygen and hydrogen to carbon, O : C and H : C as calculated from AMS mass spectra, varied between 0.41–0.81 and 1.06–1.57, respectively, with individual conditions lying within a continuum of O : C and H : C for wood’s primary constituents: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. This work identifies the mass spectral signatures of particle emissions directly from pyrolysis, including f60 and CO+/CO2+ ratio, through controlled laboratory experiments in order to help understand the importance of pyrolysis emissions in the broader context of wild and controlled wood fires.
