Published: April 2022

Iron deficiency is the most common case of micronutrient deficiency in the world and widely known to cause anemia. School-age children are at high risk of micronutrient deficiency due to increased energy expenditure, combined with decreased meal frequency and insufficient maternal attention as well as parasitic infections. This study assessed the dietary pattern and hemoglobin status of school-age children in Odeda Local Government area of Ogun State in Nigeria. Two-hundred-and-twenty-seven (227) children from two schools were recruited for the study. Data on the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and consumption pattern were obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements (height and weight) of the children were determined using standard anthropometric procedures, while anthropometric indices were measured against WHO growth standard. Blood samples of the subjects were collected and analysed for haematological variables (haemoglobin, serum transferrin, and serum ferritin). Data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, and mean. Research results have revealed that regular consumption of fruits is generally low (6.8%) among respondents. Most of the respondents (61.0%) consume green leafy vegetables on a regular basis, while 54.3% and 46.3% consume meat and fish more than 4 times per week, respectively. The anthropometric measurement of the subjects at baseline shows that 17.2% are severely stunted (HAZ-3SD), 19.5% are moderately stunted (-3SD<HAZ<-1SD), and 39.4% are mildly stunted (‐2 SD < HAZ <‐1 SD). The BAZ status record that 14.1% are underweight (BAZ<-2SD), 1.4% are overweight (2 SD > BAZ >1 SD), and 0.8% are identified with obesity (BAZ >2 SD). Biochemical status shows that 54.9% are anemic, while all (100.0%) of the children have adequate ferritin and transferrin status. This study has acknowledged that school-age children in Odeda local government face serious prevalence of anemia associated with causes beyond the lack of iron-rich food sources.

Knowledge and understanding of the size and composition of soil weed seed reserves can help in planning a successful and timely weed control strategy and assessing the dynamics of weed emergence. It is very important to have an insight into what percentage of the latent plant community will pass into the active community. The seedling emregence method gives the number and structure of seeds that have passed the dormancy phase. It was determined that in the monoculture of soybean 24.9% of seeds are ready to germinate out of the total estimated weed seed bank, while in the three-field crop rotation 23.61% of seed. The largest number of germinated seeds comes from the weed species Chenopodium albumand Chenopodium hybridum.

The effect of cholic acid (CA) dissolved in two different media, namely Hogland nutrient solution and distilled water, on the oxidative stress of maize (Zea mays, L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus, L.) was assessed by measuring the intensity of lipid peroxidation. The aim of this screening is to observe possible differences in the results obtained from plants treated with an aqueous solution of cholic acid and those treated with a solution of cholic acid in Hogland's solution. Oxidative stress was assessed on the basis of the estimated intensity of lipid peroxidation (LP), and on the basis of the measured amount of the resulting LP final product, malondialdehyde (MDA). The results showed faster production of MDA in plants treated with cholic acid in Hogland's solution, which indicates that nutrients affect the action of CA.

Published: April 2022

Brassica species are the most widely cultivated vegetable crops and improvement programs started in the last thirty years in Türkiye. Hybrid seed production is very difficult for Brassica vegetable species. Because the production of a new F1 hybrid cultivar needs a male sterile line (A), maintainer line (B), and also a male line (C). Biotechnological methods provide an excellent opportunity for new F1 hybrid cultivar improvement via in vitro maintenance of the breeding lines. Thus, in vitro propagation possibilities of Matsunami F1 cultivar and 3 white head cabbage maintainer inbred lines were examined using hypocotyl and cotyledon explants. The most successful results were obtained from MS + 2 mg/l and 4 mg/l BAP combinations. Matsunami F1 was prominent in terms of proliferation rate. Root formation was found to be considerably high in all genotypes. The use of in vitro propagation techniques is expected to provide significant benefits in head cabbage breeding programs.

Published: April 2022

This paper discusses Sufism reasoning in Islamic education which is based on the meaning of ihsan as the basis for character building, referring to the Al-Quran as the main source of guidance for Muslims. Sophistication of ihsan as an approach, presupposes a close relationship between the heart and psychology. Through the intellectual approach, it can develop personality, and mental health that can increase piety, laughter, sincerity, gratitude, and other good deeds. This literature study confirms that ihsan as an educational approach is not only based on rewards and punishments, but rather based everything. His activities on love and affection. Although ihsan is understood as a means of getting closer to God in the world of Sufism, but to some degree ihsan can be a practical approach in the world. Character education. Here Ihsan can become a model of Islamic psychotherapy useful for preventation, curation, and mental rehabilitation, such as stress, traumatic, psychosis, psychoneurosis, frustration, and depression with love as the main foundation. Educators must instill an understanding of love and love to students through an ihsan approach, because without it, no matter how sophisticated the educational approach is.  Used unsuccessfully. Therefore, ihsan can be one of the approaches in character education that teaches learners about love and love.  A perspective that sits love as a symbol of communication and interaction between each other.
The Interactive Effect between Kitasamycin Tartrate and Doxycycline Hydrate for Use in the Therapy and Prevention of Diseases in Veterinary Medicine
Authors:   Research Professor, Los Altos University Centre, Universidad de Guadalajara, Hernández Víctor Octavio Fuentes
Published: April 2022

An in vitro test on the pharmacological interaction of the antibiotic combination between kitasamycin tartrate and Doxycycline hydrate was carried out. An in vitro challenge method was used for this purpose. The results were used to calculate their interaction using the graphical representation known as ISOBOLOGRAM. The pure salts of Kitasamycin tartrap and Doxycycline Hydrate were used and were obtained from the manufacturer of the product, Lapi - Doxi. The agar bioassay method was used. The following criteria were used to quantify the results: A synergistic effect was defined when the actual/theoretical effect (SMEF) was greater than 1. The additive effect was defined when the SMEF was equal to 1. The area between the antagonism and additive effect was defined as the zone of indifference. When studying the interaction between florfenicol and tylosin tartrate it was observed that the best SMF of this antibiotic combination was 1.45 when the concentration ratio between the antibiotics was 1 : 4 (Kitasamycin tartrate and doxycycline hydrate respectively). Consequently it can be postulated that the combination of kitasamycin tartrate with doxycycline hydrate showed a synergistic effect and can be recommended in poultry and swine for the treatment of mycoplasma infections, most gram + and gram- germs and other infectious agents sensitive to the formulation.

Do tabuleiro aos festivais: a tradição culinária das quitandas de Minas Gerais
Authors:   , Ribeiro Isadora Moreira
Published: April 2022

A pesquisa busca compreender como a culinária demarca identidades tradicionais no contexto contemporâneo, tendo como objetivo geral analisar como a culinária das quitandas de Minas Gerais é articulada por distintos atores sociais na demarcação de uma tradição. Nesse processo, foram delimitados cinco objetivos específicos que, distribuídos nos quatro artigos que compõem a tese, têm como objeto empírico as memórias e representações ancoradas nas quitandas de Minas Gerais. A abordagem metodológica é de natureza qualitativa, subdividindo- se em pesquisa bibliográfica; pesquisa documental; pesquisa de campo, com entrevistas e questionários on-line; e análise descritiva e interpretativa dos dados. A amostra analisada é composta por dez entrevistas com mulheres rurais organizadas em um projeto de cozinha comunitária; 44 formulários respondidos por extensionistas rurais da Empresa de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural do Estado de Minas Gerais (EMATER – MG); 516 receitas de quitandas extraídas de quatro fontes documentais; quatro entrevistas com quitandeiras que participam do Festival da Quitanda de Congonhas e o documentário “Festival da Quitanda de Congonhas 2021”. Como categorias analíticas são utilizados os conceitos de alimentação, representações e memória. Os resultados mostram que as representações socias sobre as quitandas têm como principais pontos de ancoragem a ruralidade e a mineiridade, constatando- se que essas comidas se caracterizam como símbolos desse imaginário social. Conclui-se que os atores sociais abrangidos por este estudo se articulam no cotidiano familiar, profissional e da vida comunitária, em suas instâncias sociais, políticas e culturais, para a reprodução do consumo das quitandas e dos seus modos de fazer, ritualizados e geracionalmente enraizados, o que delineia a dinâmica da tradição. Por meio das práticas de produção e consumo que a permeiam, a culinária representa, portanto, uma forma de se posicionar e se diferenciar como tradicional diante de um cenário de globalização que supostamente tenderia à homogeneização dos hábitos alimentares.

Published: April 2022

The aim is to compare the performances of fast regression methods, namely dimensional reduction of correlation matrix (DRCM), nonparametric dimensional reduction of correlation matrix (N-DRCM), variance inflation factor (VIF) regression, and robust VIF (R-VIF) regression in the presence of multicollinearity and outliers problems. In all simulation-scenarios, all the target variables were chosen for final models using four methods. The DRCM and N-DRCM are the methods that reach the final model in the shortest time, respectively. The time to reach the final model using R-VIF regression was approximately twice shorter than that of VIF regression. In each method, as the number of variables and the level of outliers increased, the time taken to reach the final model increased. When the level of multicollinearity and the number of variables (p > 500) increased, the times to reach the final models using DRCM in datasets with outliers were slightly shorter than the those of N-DRCM. The largest numbers of noise variables were selected to the model using DRCM and N-DRCM, but the least number of them were selected to the model using the R-VIF regression. The RMSE values obtained using DRCM, N-DRCM and VIF regression were similar in each scenario. As a result of the real dataset, the final model selected using R-VIF regression had the highest R2. It also had the lowest RMSE value among those obtained with other approaches excluding VIF regression. As such, the R-VIF regression method demonstrated a better performance than the others in all datasets.

Healthcare systems are a critical component of each country's economy and public health. In today's fast-paced world, it's difficult for people to be continually available for their loved ones who may require assistance while they are going through a difficult time. Physiological parameters are measured constantly or at regular intervals by patient monitoring systems. According to a recent World Health Organization survey, over 5.6 million people are paralysed, accounting for 1.9 percent of the population, or roughly 1 in every 50 people. Paraplegic health surveillance in hospitals indicates that a variety of exercises, stimulation, and medications are available to safeguard the paralysed. However, there is no specialised monitoring system in place to follow the health of paralysed persons. To deal with these problems, a monitoring system is put in place, which is used to keep track on the patients' health. Bio sensors, such as pulse rate, blood pressure, and airflow sensor, are used in this monitoring system to sense the vital framework of patients, and these parameters are continually monitored and relayed to the caretaker through GSM. This is something that a microcontroller can help with (MSP430).

Published: April 2022

Sn2+ doped white emitting alkaline-earth chalcogenide CaS and SrS phosphors were synthesized by carbo-thermal reduction method. In this method special requirement such as H2S gas flow is not required as a source of sulphur and is comparatively easy method to prepare sulfides. The crystalline phase, morphology, and photoluminescence properties were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. Phosphors exhibit broad band excitation which has excellent spread over nUV as well as blue region of visible light i.e. 440–480 nm. Emission is in the form of characteristic broad band of Sn2+ covering nUV and almost entire regions of visible spectrum i.e. 400–650 nm. The XRD pattern of prepared phosphor well matches with International Center for Diffraction Data. Synthesized phosphor particles are of different sizes, with smooth surfaces, from less than 1 micron to few microns. The chromaticity coordinates of synthesized phosphors have been calculated from its corresponding emission spectra monitored at their excitation wavelengths. They observed to falls in white region of CIE diagram. These points are close to standard white point D65, corresponding to daylight with correlated color temperature (CCT) 6500 °K, indicating better color purity of the synthesized phosphor and they are promising material for a color converter using blue LED as the primary light (pumping) source in phosphor converted white LED (pc wLED) for solid state lighting.

Published: April 2022

Introduction

A new detection model directed at the coordination and simplification of global HIV treatment is described in this paper. It provides both health workers, as well as patients worldwide, with important medical information regarding disease status in real-time, at home. We developed an innovative monitoring technology that significantly streamlines HIV treatment strategies and thus leads to more effective control of HIV infection.

Material and methods

This technology is built around an original BioNanoSensor (BNS) detection device, which utilizes piezoelectric technology to detect and track HIV infection within hours of initial exposure to the virus. The BNS device rapidly, and specifically, detects even low levels of HIV-1 p24 core protein within a small sample.

Results

BNS assays were conducted with small volume samples (10-100μl) in a 10-20mm3 detection chamber, and results were obtained within 5-15 minutes of test initiation. This assay was able to detect of 0.3-3.0 ng/ml of p24 protein, which was validated with a parallel ELISA analysis. These levels are typically observed during the early onset of infection and/or in individuals undergoing HAART therapy.

Conclusions

The BNS assay will provide a specific and personal health profile or health signature of HIV/AIDS patients. The potential applicability of the BNS for use in multiple clinical and point-of-care settings worldwide is considerable. It lowers the cost of HIV detection and treatment as well as significantly improves patients’ quality of life. Finally, this technology will provide a platform for the detection and treatment of numerous other viral infections and health conditions.

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major changes in society. The prolonged lockdown led to economic collapse in many countries. Because of this reason, vaccination against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the only hope that may reduce spread of the virus. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the severity of adverse effects after COVID-19 vaccine and prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Material and methods

578 physicians vaccinated with two doses of BNT162b2 were included in the study. Via a form on the Google Form platform data about past SARS-CoV-2 infection and observed adverse effects after taking the vaccination were collected.

Results

The most common adverse effects were local symptoms (pain at the injection site, limitation of mobility of the upper limb). Pain at injection site occurred in 96,2% of cases after first dose of vaccination. Systemic symptoms (weakness, myalgia, fever) appeared less frequently however after second dose occurred statistically significantly more often than after the first one (χ2 = 121.99,p < 0.001). Statistically, symptoms appeared more often after the first dose in the group of doctors with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection (χ2 = 10.85,p = 0.001). Moreover, in this group, the severity of symptoms after first dose was greater (p< 0.001). However, an inverse relationship was observed after second dose of the vaccination (p< 0.001).

Conclusions

The severity of symptoms after the first dose of the vaccine is greater in people who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the past than people not suffering from COVID-19, but after second dose this relationship is reversed.
Not the lower classes
Authors: Ang Sylvia
Published: April 2022

This chapter explores migrants’ claims to belonging and citizenship, and
the host society’s denial of such claims. It shows that contrary to claims
from mainland Chinese professional migrants that they are like Singaporeans,
Singaporean-Chinese segregate between a “middle-class” us and a
“working-class” them. This chapter analyses how Singaporean-Chinese
imagine the Chinese, especially female migrants, as marked by bad dressing,
poor hygiene and sexual immorality. For Singaporean-Chinese, these
markers are imagined to be Chinese migrants’ embodiment of the “third
world” status of their country and which construct Chinese migrants as
of the lower classes. This chapter concludes with a critical consideration
of how migrants’ middle-class background or the possession of formal
citizenship may not indicate a right to belong.
When a Chinese does not speak Chinese
Authors: Ang Sylvia
Published: April 2022

This chapter analyses the online narratives of locals and migrants to argue
that state constructions of ethnicity can become a site of contestation for
people on the ground. It shows how Chinese migrants imagine Singaporean-
Chinese as “not Chinese enough” by deriding their weak Mandarin proficiency.
In defence, Singaporean-Chinese claim Chinese migrants as “not
Singaporean enough” by focusing on their “culture” of being loud and not
queueing. Challenging extant studies on immigrant incorporation which take
for granted host societies’ sense of belonging, this chapter reflects broadly on
the unstable belonging of both migrants and hosts in this age of migration.
Conclusion: A hierarchy of Chineseness
Authors: Ang Sylvia
Published: April 2022

The Conclusion reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic and how it illuminated
China’s centrality to the rest of the world. It revisits the questions raised
in the preceding chapters to reflect on the book’s implications for how we
understand ethnic Chinese subjects’ experiences of nationality, gender
and class today in an era of China’s ascent. Through these reflections, the
Conclusion ends with a discussion of how the book’s approach provides
deep insights into the imaginaries and limits of ethnicity. These insights
enrich understanding of an increasingly mobile and diverse world.
Latmikaik’s Children and Their Music
Authors: Abels Birgit
Published: April 2022

This chapter provides a conceptual and ethnographic view into the world
of this book. It introduces the historical and cultural settings of musicmaking
in Palau. I provide a historically informed perspective on the
relationship between the role of Palauan chant traditions and musical
structures and textures. Exploring the competing music ontologies and
epistemologies that have been formative to current performance practice
from both historical and post-colonial perspectives, I draft to what extent
the neo-phenomenological concept of meaningfulness might prove helpful
to unpack the central role traditionally attributed to music-making in
Palau.
Resonance: Co-Becoming with Sound
Authors: Abels Birgit
Published: April 2022

This chapter provides an account of resonance as a key force bringing about
musical meaningfulness. I argue that music-making in Palau is primarily a
becoming, an incipience of renewal regarding musical structure, form and
texture. As this incipience of renewal actualises across sense modalities,
such as in music and dance, it becomes an overwhelming experience, one
that accounts for the power of music and dancing experiences – and, in
the case of Palau, for the meaningfulness of music and dancing.
Change of critical COVID-19 disease in time

Published: April 2022

Background:: COVID-19 disease, which has taken over the world for more than a year, is unfortunately not yet understood and a definitive treatment has not been found. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in clinical and laboratory tests of critical COVID-19 patients followed in the intensive care unit between March/2020 and December/2020 and to evaluate the factors that cause these changes with literature information.

Materıal and Method: In the study, during the beginning of the pandemic and its progress; 50 COVID-19 patients treated in the intensive care unit between March-April-May/2020 were defined as group 1, and 50 COVID-19 patients treated in the intensive care unit between October-November-December/2020 were defined as group 2.Clinical, laboratory and intensive care processes of the patients in the groups were analyzed retrospectively and compared.

Results:Demographic data were similar between groups. Group 2 patients had higher 28-day mortality, and this result was statistically significant (p = 0.006). Transfer rates of group 1 patients to the service after intensive care were found to be statistically higher (p = 0.029).

Conclusıons:28-day mortality was found to be different between similar patient groups who were admitted to intensive care during different periods of the pandemic. The reasons for this may be: changes in pathogenicity as a result of viral mutations, different immune responses of hosts to viral infection, intensive care experience of healthcare professionals.

Authors: Ricarte de Souza Rafael
Published: April 2022

Este artigo reflete sobre o design desde seu modelo tradicional do século XX à contemporaneidade, onde se evidenciam novas formas de fazer design. Investiga métodos que ajudam a compor um processo participativo entre usuários transgêneros e designer. É um estudo de caso que se configura no ambulatório de sexualidades anexo do Hospital Universitário Materno Infantil, diante do problema de inadequação entre álbum seriado para planejamento familiar e grupo terapêutico do ambulatório de sexualidade com pessoas transgêneras que utilizam esse material para educação e promoção da saúde. O material que utilizam durante as reuniões não representa a estrutura corpórea da realidade transgênero. Este estudo é uma pesquisa exploratória com revisão bibliográfica sistemática e assistemática que investiga processos estruturados com métodos participativos, bem como identifica lacunas e potencialidades. Como resultados apresenta uma proposição metodológica para produção de repertório de imagens a partir de um processo participativo.
Analysing and designing visualizations – Diagrammatics (1984) revisited
Authors: Richards Clive , Engelhardt Yuri
Published: April 2022

This paper reviews how the authors’ current framework – the DNA of visualization – has evolved from the work laid out in Diagrammatics (Richards, 1984). The goal of this line of work was, and is, to enable the analysis and specification of an extensive range of different types of visual representations of information, such as statistical charts, maps, family trees, Venn diagrams, flow charts, texts using indenting, technical drawings and scientific illustrations. Inspired by an analogy with language, fundamental possibilities of graphic organization were identified in 1984. This work has been further developed into the current DNA of visualization framework. We identify the main concepts within the current framework and point to their roots to the 1984 work.
