Kemampuan Siswa Kelas X Farmasi Mempelajari Makhraj Huruf dan Ahkamul Huruf dalam Mata Pelajaran PAI di SMK Gema Nusantara Bukittinggi
Authors: Saputra Yendri , Zakir Supratman
Published: October 2022

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SMK Gema Nusantara Bukittinggi dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan siswa kelas X Farmasi dalam mempelajari makhraj huruf dan ahkamul huruf pada mata pelajaran PAI dengan menggunakan model CIPP (Context, Input, Procces, Product). Model evaluasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah model evaluasi CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product). Model evaluasi ini dikembangkan oleh Daniel L. Stufflebeam, dkk. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian evaluatif. Motivasi  penulis melakukan penelitian ini dilatar belakangi dengan fenomena, dari hasil observasi awal yang dilakukan penulis melihat bahwa siswa kurang mampu mempelajari makhraj huruf dan ahkamul huruf, terbukti ketika siswa membaca dalil dalam mata pelajaran PAI, Siswa belum mampu memahami pengelompokan ahkamul huruf secara tepat. Berdasarkan gambaran di atas sepertinya siswa kesulitan dalam pembelajaran. Untuk menjawab permasalahan di atas, penulis melakukan penelitian lapangan (field research) menggunakan pendekatan evaluasi model CIPP (Context, Input, Proces, Product). Peneliti bermaksud mengumpulkan data tentang evaluasi model CIPP terhadap program mempelajari makhraj huruf dan ahkamul huruf dalam mata pelajaran PAI. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah Guru PAI dan siswa kelas X farmasi SMK Gema Nusantara Bukittinggi. Instrument penelitian menggunakan pedoman observasi dan pedoman wawancara. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Setelah data terkumpul penulis melakukan analisis data dengan cara menyeleksi seluruh data yang diperoleh dari beberapa sumber, kemudian membuat reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Dari hasil penelitian yang penulis lakukan bahwa kurangnya kemampuan siswa dalam mempelajari makhraj huruf dan ahkamul huruf pada mata pelajaran PAI disebabkan karena siswa tidak memiliki minat dalam mempelajari makhraj huruf dan ahkamul huruf dan tidak ada dukungan dari keluarga untuk giat mempelajari agama, siswa banyak yang malas dalam mengulangi materi pelajaran. Kemudian siswa kurang mampu mengelompokkan ahkamul huruf (hukum-hukum tajwid) dalam materi PAI dikarenakan siswa tidak memperhatikan guru menerangkan materi tentang ahkamul huruf dalam mata pelajaran PAI.

LISTA NEGRA DE BABÁS NO WHATSAPP:
Authors: Finelli Lília Carvalho
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo identificar como o Direito do Trabalho pode atuar nos casos em que o direito ao esquecimento é ofendido pela criação de listas negras contendo informações sobre babás que, por reflexo, induzem a padrões discriminatórios pré-contratação. O método utilizado foi puramente analítico, utilizando-se estudo de caso fictício, embora baseado em fatos reais. Como objetivos específicos, se apontou a necessidade de (i) indicar a nova realidade diante da qual o trabalho doméstico se encontra, com a elaboração de listas negras de babás, analisando as repercussões jurídicas; (ii) compreender o conceito de direito ao esquecimento e desvinculá-lo do right to be let alone norte-americano; e (iii) indicar em qual medida pode o Direito do Trabalho mediar esses conflitos. A hipótese aqui sugerida é a de que a formação de listas negras de babás no aplicativo Whatsapp fere não só o direito ao esquecimento como sua fonte: a dignidade da pessoa humana, concluindo-se que tais listas acabam por confirmar padrões discriminatórios já existentes. E, em se tratando de relações trabalhistas, se entende que cabe a este ramo regular as consequências destes atos.

Die schleswig-holsteinische Landtagswahl vom 8. Mai 2022: Aus „Jamaika“ wird eine schwarz-grüne Koalition unter Wahlgewinner Daniel Günther
Authors: Knelangen Wilhelm
Published: October 2022

Following the 2017 state election, Schleswig-Holstein had been governed by a stable coalition of the CDU, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, and the FDP, known as “Jamaica” coalition. However, what the state parliament would look like after the elections to be held in early 2022 was completely open. Tue closer the election, the more it seemed that the CDU would remain the strongest party in the state. While the campaign was not marked by controversial issues, the general assessment of the parties and their top candidates was most important. Prime Minister Daniel Günther, as the guarantor of “Jamaica”, enjoyed an out- standing popular approval, and the CDU managed to achieve an exceptionally good result with 43.4 percent of the vote. Bündnis 90/Die Grünen became the second strongest party with 18.3 percent, and the FDP received only 6.4 percent. With significant losses, the SPD fell to 16 percent, with 5.7 percent the SSW overcame the five percent clause, and the AfD clearly failed to re-enter parliament with 4.4 percent. After the election the CDU’s initial attempt to continue the “Jamaica” coalition with a supermajority quickly failed. Instead it was followed by a two-party-coalition of the CDU and Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, led by Prime Minister Günther again.
Die nordrhein-westfälische Landtagswahl vom 15. Mai 2022: Eine Hälfte wählt, die andere nicht
Authors: Bajohr Stefan
Published: October 2022

Tue 2022 state election in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) was dominated by problems that lay beyond the reach of state politics: the climate crisis, Covid-19, the war in Eastern Europe, and inflation rates. Regarding state issues, many voters rated school and transport policy to be the most important issues. For the so-called “traffic light” coalition in Berlin, in office since half a year, the NRW election was considered to be the acid test, which was reflected in the presence of prominent federal politicians during the election campaign. Tue results confirmed the CDU’s leading position and the party’s prime minister in office. In terms of vote and percentage increases, however, only the Greens could register gains, and both the SPD and FDP had to put up with losses. Voter turnout dropped to 55.5 percent, signaling alienation from the political system. Tue proportion of women among the 195 members of the new state parliament rose to more than one-third. Tue new state govern- ment, formed by a coalition of the CDU and the Greens, rests almost equally on female and male shoulders and has a comfortable majority in the state parliament. It has named the fight against climate change and organized crime as the focal points of its work.
In der Reformfalle: Eine Bestandsaufnahme der Präsidentschaft Joe Bidens zur Halbzeit
Authors: Bitschnau Marco
Published: October 2022

Not even two years after his electoral victory, US President Joe Biden finds himself in a rather dire position. While irritated allies and the humiliating Taliban takeover of Afghanistan taint his foreign policy record, his domestic agenda has been curtailed by difficulties to win congressional majorities backing social policy reforms. In addition, the president is increasingly under pressure from an “unholy trinity” consisting of activist progressives, skeptical moderates, and resurgent Republicans who have overcome the confusions of the Trump era and have refined their tactics. Casting particular light on the Biden administration’s institutional predicaments, this contribution gives an overview of the various difficulties the president is confronted with and the possible consequences for the upcoming mid-term elections. If Biden wants to avoid Jimmy Carter’s fate, he must pacify his party and achieve meaningful victories sooner rather than later.

Lehrkräfte machen den Unterschied? – Einfluss der fachlichen Qualifikation und der Zielorientierung von Sportlehrkräften auf die Entwicklung motorischer Basiskompetenzen von Grundschüler*innen
Authors: Schole Lucas , Gerlach Erin , Sallen Jeffrey
Published: October 2022

Die Qualifikation von Lehrkräften und ihre Überzeugungen, Werthaltungen bzw. Ziele sind Aspekte der professionellen Kompetenz. Ihr Einfluss auf die Kompetenzentwicklung von Grundschüler*innen wurde bereits in mehreren Schulfächern untersucht. Die Ergebnisse sind inkonsistent. Für das Fach Sport liegen bisher kaum Erkenntnisse vor. Inwieweit die Qualifikation von Lehrkräften sowie ihre Zielorientierung die Entwicklung motorischer Basiskompetenzen von Grundschüler*innen beeinflusst, wird im vorliegenden Beitrag untersucht. Es wurden die motorischen Basiskompetenzen (Etwas-Bewegen, Sich-Bewegen) und Alter, Geschlecht, Body-Mass-Index von 398 Schüler*innen (51,8% männlich) längsschnittlich erhoben sowie 24 Sportlehrkräfte (20,8% männlich) zum ersten Messzeitpunkt hinsichtlich ihrer Qualifikation und Zielorientierung befragt. Zur Erklärung der Entwicklung der motorischen Basiskompetenzen wurden mehrere Modelle berechnet. Die Befunde zeigen, dass eher die Zielorientierung der Lehrkräfte für die Entwicklung der motorischen Basiskompetenzen ausschlaggebend ist und nicht die Qualifikation.
Zusatzgremien in der GmbH
Authors: de Blecourt Viola
Published: October 2022

This practical work uses concrete case studies to shed light on the possibilities and limits of additional bodies in the GmbH. It develops criteria for the classification of advisory boards, supervisory boards and administrative boards as corporate bodies and examines the legal consequences of their classification as such. The work focusses on the requirements for flexibility clauses on the establishment of corporate bodies as well as the question of whether legal consequences for establishing corporate bodies can be avoided by establishing advisory or other boards by contract. In individual cases, such arrangements prove to be an incorrect establishment of corporate bodies and are therefore ineffective.

The principles on the establishment and structuring of corporate bodies as well as the key questions on the classification of existing additional bodies are of equal benefit to academics and practitioners.

Published: October 2022

This study analyses in detail different forms of third-party participation in the provision of hidden contributions in kind within the meaning of § 19 para. 4 GmbHG and § 27 para. 3 AktG. The objects of investigation are constellations in which the transactions typical for a hidden contribution in kind do not take place between the investor and the company. Instead, a third person who has a connection to the investor and/or the company acts in place of the investor or the company. Based on case groups, various types of connections, namely fiduciary and group connections as well as close personal relationships, are examined with regard to their lawfulness under capital contribution law.
Bundesrechtliche Terrorismusabwehrmaßnahmen im Schnittbereich von Prävention und Repression
Authors: Coenen Carolin
Published: October 2022

In recent years, federal counter-terrorism measures in Germany have been tightened and the point of intervention has been shifted far into the field prior to a specific attack. This causes a large-scale overlap between the possibilities for investigations under counter-terrorism law and those under criminal procedure, and is changing the operational orientation of the security architecture. These changes are particularly questionable from a proportionality point of view and are critically assessed in a legal comparison with the USA. As a result, this paper shows that there is a need for legal policy action and develops corresponding proposals for action.
Mitbestimmungsverhandlungen trotz Leitungsentscheidung gemäß § 23 Abs. 1 S. 1 Nr. 3 MgVG
Authors: Stadtmüller Till
Published: October 2022

In cross-border mergers into Germany, the management is often induced to forego negotiations on employee participation at an early stage by way of the “mangement decision” in favour of the statutory standard rules. This effect contradicts the legislative ideal of negotiated employee participation. Practi-tioners see the solution in negotiations despite a management decision. The author shows that it is pos-sible to conclude an employee participation agreement even after a management decision until the ealier of (i) the target company’s registration, and (ii) the expiry of the negotiation period. In doing so, he identi-fies, inter alia, a sensible procedure for practice and refutes an abuse of rights.

The effect of the inflation rate on gross domestic product: An economic analysis for the Western Balkans countries
Authors: Malenković Nebojša
Published: October 2022

Background: One of the key indicators of a country's macroeconomic stability is certainly inflation. During the past year, there has been a general increase in inflation in Europe. The question arises as to how inflation affects other relevant indicators of the stability of a country. One of the most important indicators is gross domestic product. Purpose: This paper analyses the effect of the inflation rate on gross domestic product in the countries of the Western Balkans for the period 2006-2021, which includes the initial period of the emerging health crisis. Study design/methodology/approach: Official data from the World Bank was used to review the analysis of the state of inflation and gross domestic product. The same data was transformed into appropriate logarithms for proper econometric modelling. The methodology used to determine the effect of the inflation rate on the gross domestic product is multiple regression analysis with the ordinary least squares estimation method. Findings/conclusions: The results of the analysis indicate a positive effect of the gross domestic product deflator on economic growth in the sample countries, while the impact of inflation measured according to the consumer price index is not significant. Limitations/future research: Recommendations for decision-makers about inflation targeting, and further methodological approaches are given as part of the research conclusions.
Is a mounted award ceremony in equestrian sport relevant to animal welfare?
Authors: Gehlen H , Thöne-Reineke C , Merle R , Pichon S , Linnenbrügger H
Published: October 2022

Severe accidents befalling both horses and riders have been observed during award ceremonies in equestrian sports. We hypothesised that such ceremonies and subsequent laps of honour pose a significant risk to the well-being of horses, riders and third parties. Tournament riders’ opinions were sought and analysis of accidents undertaken via an online questionnaire completed by 700 tournament riders participating in dressage and showjumping in Germany. While 31.3% of the riders reported feeling tense themselves during award ceremonies, greater tension was reported in the warm-up area and throughout the competition itself. In contrast, 48% of horses were at their most tense at award ceremonies and displayed the greatest amount of stress during the lap of honour. Sixty percent of survey participants felt award ceremonies created an increased risk of injury with riders citing stressed horses as being the principal cause. Only risks associated with the warm-up area were noted by a greater proportion of riders (66.6%). The most frequent cause of accidents at award ceremonies was deemed to be kicks. Horse participation at award ceremonies was deemed to be important for spectators and sponsors and, although over half the riders were in favour of compulsory participation with a horse, they expressed the desire for exceptions to be permissible by judge(s). This study supported the hypothesis that mounted award ceremonies have a negative impact on horse welfare.
The relationships between attitudes, personal characteristics and behaviour of stockpeople on dairy goat farms
Authors: Mersmann D , Schmied-Wagner C , Waiblinger S
Published: October 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the human-animal relationship on dairy goat farms, in particular associations between stockpeople's attitudes towards goats(Capra hircus)and actual behaviour when handling goats and making decisions. Data were collected on 45 Austrian and German dairy goat farms. Attitude questionnaires of 119 stockpeople (58 female, 61 male) were analysed and 14 attitude components were extracted by five Principal Component Analyses (PCA) regarding general attitudes about goats and human-animal relationship, behavioural attitudes about specific human-goat interactions and interactions during milking, and affective attitudes. To investigate associations between stockpeople's attitudes and their subsequent behaviour, we calculated linear and logistic regression analysis on their behaviour during milking (n = 53 milkers) and on management decisions (n = 45 farms). Several attitude components were predictors of behaviour during milking. The attitude‘Needs of goats’was included in all models: the higher stock-people scored on‘Needs of goats’, the more positive interactions they showed and the less likely they were to use negative interactions. Gender influenced five attitude components: females showing greater agreement than males on positive general and affective attitudes, eg‘Needs of goats.’Regarding management, the more strongly decision-makers disagreed on using negative interactions during milking, the better was their farm's housing and management. To conclude, these results highlight the importance of the stock-people's attitudes, not only for the interactions with their animals, but also for their decisions related to management and housing. Our results indicate opportunities for improvement of animal welfare by training specifically targeting stockpeople's attitudes.

Electron-spin polarization effect in Rashba spin-orbit coupling modulated single-layered semiconductor nanostructure
Authors: He Ya-Ping , Chen Ming-Xia , Pan Jie-Feng , Li Dong , Lin Gang-Jun , Huang Xin-Hong ,   Guilin University of Technology, Guilin 541004, China
Published: October 2022

Nanothick semiconductors can grow orderly along a desired direction with the help of modern materials growth technology such as molecular beam epitaxy, which allows researchers to fabricate the so-called layered semiconductor nanostructure (LSN) experimentally. Owing to the structure inversion symmetry broken by the layered form in the LSN, the electron spins interact tightly with its momentums, in the literature referred to as the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect, which can be modulated well by the interfacial confining electric field or the stain engineering. These significant SOC effects can effectively eliminate the spin degeneracy of the electrons in semiconductor materials, induce the spin splitting phenomenon at the zero magnetic field and generate the electron-spin polarization in the semiconductors. In recent years, the spin-polarized transport for electrons in the LSN has attracted a lot of research interests, which is because of itself scientific importance and potential serving as spin polarized sources in the research field of semiconductor spintronics. Adopting the theoretical analysis combined with the numerical calculation, we investigate the spin-polarized transport induced by the Rashba-type SOC effect for electrons in a single-layered semiconductor nanostructure (SLSN)-InSb. The present research is to explore the new way of generating and manipulating spin current in semiconductor materials without any magnetic field, and focuses on developing new electron-spin filter for semiconductor spintronics device applications. The improved transfer matrix method (ITMM) is exploited to exactly solve Schrödinger equation for an electron in the SLSN-InSb device, which allows us to calculate the spin-dependent transmission coefficient and the spin polarization ratio. Owing to a strong Rashba-type SOC, a considerable electron-spin polarization effect appears in the SLSN-InSb device. Because of the effective potential experienced by the electrons in the SLSN-InSb device, the spin polarization ratio is associated with the electron energy and the in-plane wave vector. In particular, the spin polarization ratio can be manipulated effectively by an externally-applied electric field or the semiconductor-layer thickness, owing to the dependence of the effective potential felt by the electrons in the SLSN-InSb device on the electric field or the layer thickness. Therefore, such an SLSN-InSb device can be used as a controllable electron-spin filter acting as a manipulable spin-polarized source for the research area of semiconductor spintronics.
DHU-Pred: accurate prediction of dihydrouridine sites using position and composition variant features on diverse classifiers
Authors: Suleman Muhammad Taseer , Alkhalifah Tamim , Alturise Fahad , Khan Yaser Daanial
Published: October 2022

Background

Dihydrouridine (D) is a modified transfer RNA post-transcriptional modification (PTM) that occurs abundantly in bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea. The D modification assists in the stability and conformational flexibility of tRNA. The D modification is also responsible for pulmonary carcinogenesis in humans.

Objective

For the detection of D sites, mass spectrometry and site-directed mutagenesis have been developed. However, both are labor-intensive and time-consuming methods. The availability of sequence data has provided the opportunity to build computational models for enhancing the identification of D sites. Based on the sequence data, the DHU-Pred model was proposed in this study to find possible D sites.

Methodology

The model was built by employing comprehensive machine learning and feature extraction approaches. It was then validated using in-demand evaluation metrics and rigorous experimentation and testing approaches.

Results

The DHU-Pred revealed an accuracy score of 96.9%, which was considerably higher compared to the existing D site predictors.

Availability and Implementation

A user-friendly web server for the proposed model was also developed and is freely available for the researchers.
Thermal Properties of KIV Electric Wires Subjected to Compression Damage
Authors: Kim Sikuk
Published: October 2022

This study investigated the thermal properties of a KIV insulated wire subjected to compression damage. In the wire breakage measurement experiment for the compressed insulated wire, 25, 50, 75, and 95% compression damage were applied to the cross-sectional area of the wire using a compression testing machine, and a quantitative value of the applied load was derived. The applied load for 95% damage was found to be 110 kgf. An additional experiment was performed on the thermal properties of the wire cut by compression damage. At a current of 30 A, the maximum temperature of a normal sample was 28 °C and that of a sample with 95% damage increased by 31.9 °C to 59.9 °C within the same test time. At 45 A, the maximum temperature of a normal sample was 55.7 °C and that of a sample with 95% damage increased by 37.3 °C to 93 °C. At 60 A, the maximum temperature of a normal sample was 90.8 °C and that of a sample with 95% damage sharply increased by 103 °C to 193.8 °C. Because the wires of home appliances and electric devices are frequently used when pressed in daily life, caution needs to be exercised by using protective frames to prevent the compression of electric wires, and in turn prevent the occurrence of electric fires.

The maxillary anterior tooth is the key tooth for the esthetics of an individual. Unfortunate trauma to the maxillary anterior tooth results in compromised esthetics and self-esteem of a young patient. Multiple resorptive defects in a tooth may compromise its prognosis and may be indicated for extraction following replacement by the implant. However, “a naturally retained tooth is the ultimate implant”. A 25-year-old patient visited the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics with the complaint of purulent pus discharge and unacceptable color in the front tooth region for two months. The yellowish-brown discolouration was observed in 11. Radiographic imaging revealed two internal resorption areas. Apical resorption was evident on the distal aspect of the root. The Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging revealed two internal resorptive areas with external resorption. This case report describes the successful surgical therapy of communicating internal, external and apical resorption with complicated pulp space that was managed effectively with the help of CBCT, magnification and bioceramic materials. This case report highlights the importance of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Dental operating microscope and CBCT for the diagnosis and effective management of a structurally compromised tooth.

Introduction: Post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are often associated with the laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia (GA). The PONV guidelines recommended the use of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist (5-HT3RA) as the first-line prophylactic agents in patients categorised as high-risk for emesis perioperatively. There are very few studies comparing the efficacies of combinations of newer 5HT3 RA with dexamethasone. Aim: To compare the severity of emetic episodes as well as the complete response rate to antiemetics like dexamethasone or its combination with palonosetron or ramosetron during the first 48 hours after laparoscopic surgeries. Materials and Methods: This randomised clinical double-blind study Department of Anesthesiology at Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysuru, Karnataka, India, from November 2014 to August 2016 among 90 patients, aged between 18 to 60 years belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) grade I and II scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. They were randomly allocated into three equal groups. Group D received dexamethasone 8 mg, group RD received ramosetron 0.3 mg with dexamethasone 8 mg, and group PD received palonosetron 0.075 mg with dexamethasone 8 mg. Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV), retching were recorded via direct questioning or by the spontaneous complaints from the patients at 2, 6, 24, 48 hours. A scoring system was used to assess PONV. Complete response rate was also noted i.e, percentage of patients in a group with absence of nausea, retching, vomiting and no requirement of rescue antiemetic medications within postoperative 48 hours. Results: The baseline characteristics were similar in all three groups. Early and late PONV were significantly lesser with group-PD compared to group D (p-value=0.01) and group RD (p-value=0.007). The complete response rate in group PD (86.6%) was significantly highest compared to group D (40%) and group RD (76%). Rescue anlgesics required was nil in group PD compared to group D (36.3%), and group RD (10%) over 48 hours. Conclusion: Combination of palonosetron with dexamethasone is a better alternative to combination of ramosetron with dexamethasone in preventing PONV.

The study focused on the topic (the impact of the operational objectives of monetary policy on bank deposits and bank cash credit) to know the extent to which these objectives are used effectively by the Central Bank of Iraq, and their impact on credit and bank deposits, and the use of the standard aspect program (eviews10), and the study concluded that the effect of credit Cash and bank deposits on the policy rate were not statistically related to achieving a rate of (11%), and this is due to the failure to use the operational interest rate tools by the Central Bank of Iraq to influence the economy as it is, but rather developed countries. The influence relationship between the exchange rate with monetary credit and deposits was greater than the influence relationship in the policy rate model, but it remains very weak as a result of the exchange rate's focus on maintaining inflation rates and the lack of focus on the main objectives of monetary policy. The study also recommended the necessity of paying attention to the operational objectives to achieve the final objectives of the monetary policy, which it is unable to achieve directly.

As a Semi-arid country, Burkina Faso is highly vulnerable to climate-related disasters such as drought and flood. Analyzing drought signature is therefore a key factor in advocating climate change adaptation at the local scale. In this study, Spatiotemporal trends of drought were conducted for the period 1960–2021 within Massili Basin using the standardized precipitation and evapotranspiration index (SPEI) package in R. The non-parametric method (Mann–Kendall) was then used to test for a monotonic trend, whereas the magnitude was estimated using Sen's method. Accordingly, the result revealed that during the period 1960-1979, the mean value of SPEI varies from 0.06 to 0.71; over 1980 to 2009, the mean value of the SPEI varies from -0.08 to -0.88 and for the last decades (2010 to 2021), the mean value of the SPEI ranges from 0.05 to 0.75. Normal to middle wet conditions is thus observed over the periods 1960-1979 and 2010-2021 while the period (1980-2009) depicts a middle drought condition. The Mann-Kendall test results show a decreasing trend of SPEI-3 and SPEI-24 with a Z value of - 0.784 and -0.530 respectively. A slightly increasing trend is observed for SPEI-6 and SPEI-12 with Z ranging from 0.598 to 1.917 respectively. The magnitude of the decrease is indicated by the sens’ slope value, which is -0.0014 for SPEI-3 and -0.00010 for SPEI-24 while the magnitude of the increase ranges from 0.00011 for SPEI-6 to 0.00037 for SPEI-12. This study highlights the importance of examining past drought features to obtain essential information to assist in designing and implementing efficient water resources management strategies over the Massili Basin.

Published: October 2022

Background: Tristetraprolin (TTP) is RNA-binding protein encoded by Zfp36 gene which regulates the mRNA stability of several important cytokines. Due to its critical role in control of inflammation, TTP deficiency leads to the spontaneous development of a complex inflammatory syndrome. So far, this phenotype has been largely attributed to dysregulated production of TNF and IL23 by myeloid cells, such as macrophages or DCs. The expression of TTP was studied in keratinocytes and explored its role in the imiquimod-induced psoriasis model.

Objective: To study the possible role of Tristetraprolin in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Methods: The study included 32 patients who were randomly assigned to two groups, group 1 included 22 patients with psoriasis and group 2 included 10 apparently healthy individual as a control group. Skin specimens were obtained by punch biopsy (3mm) from the skin lesion of the patients and normal skin of controls. Skin tissue from each case was homogenized in phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4). The crude homogenate was centrifuged, and the resultant supernatant was removed and used for the measurement of Tristetraprolin level by ELISA.

Results: Regarding to Tristetraprolin (ng/m protein) level, there was a significant difference between cases and control group regarding skin tissue TTP level. TTP was significantly lower in psoriasis patient when compared to controls (P value < 0.001). As regard relation between the level of TTP and the disease severity represented as PASI score; there was significant difference in TTP level between different grades (P value 0.001) with the lowest level in cases with severe psoriasis.

Conclusions: Tristetraprolin may play a role in pathogenesis of psoriasis and may provide important clues to assist in the development of new therapeutic strategies for psoriatic patients.
Different Bush Cutting Device: A Review

In a Saurashtra region, farmers are facing a major problem with the trimming of boundary bushes or cutting of the fence of agriculture. In addition to this, unwanted bush also obstructs farm operations, roads, and electricity poles. Currently, bush-cutting is done through manual trimming by agricultural workers, but it is a time-consuming and expensive operation. In addition, using an axe or saw may lead to injury. To overcome this problem, it requires good tools or machines for safe and easy operation. Many mechanical devices are available to perform boundary bush trimming or agricultural fence cutting, but conventional mechanical power has several drawbacks, including non-continuous operation, limited speeds due to the use of mechanical gearboxes, high power loss in transmission, and increased maintenance. As time has changed, an improvement in traditional tools and devices is required. Hydraulic power is a good alternative to mechanical power, and it reduces the risks of human injury as compared to mechanical power. Also, the power transmission is more economical as compared to the mechanical. To maintain the preceding point, a hydraulic power transmission system was chosen over a mechanical one. In this study, an existing method was compared in terms of time and cost with a developed machine.
