This study assessed the impacts of nutrition on blood pressure and body mass index of staff of Rivers State College of Health Science and Management Technology, Port Harcourt. Introduction: The nutritional status of an individual is said to be a measure of the condition of health of an individual as affected or determined by the intake of food and the utilization of nutrients. The nutritional status of an individual should be assessed at regular intervals in order to avert undesirable health problems and complications arising from malnutrition. Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and 100 respondents’ were randomly selected and administered with pretested and validated questionnaire. The blood pressure and anthropometric measurement were taken according to standard procedures. Result The result showed that 33.0% of the Respondents’ had normal BM1, 29.0% were overweight, while 38.0% were obese. The result further revealed that BMI increased with advance in age, as 18.0% and 38.0% of the Respondents’ aged 38- 60years had incidence of overweight and obesity respectively. Blood pressure values also showed a similar trend as Respondents’ aged 38 -60 years had 33.0% of Respondents’ have high blood pressure. Correlation coefficient between BMI and income showed a very high relationship (r= 0.9), which indicates that as income increased, BMI also increased. The relationship between income and blood pressure was poor (r = 0.2). However, exercise and blood pressure had a high correlation (r = 0.7). Similarly, alcohol consumption and blood pressure showed a good relationship (r = 0.6).These findings thus reflect the need for enlightenment of the masses on healthy lifestyles through healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and reduction in alcohol consumption in order to minimize the risk of high blood pressure. Conclusion: The study concluded that most of the people with high blood pressure are those with overweight and obesity; and high earning status and high consumption of alcohol could have serious consequences on health, as alcohol is a lifestyle factor related to high blood pressure.

Published: March 2024

Cancers account for approximately 13% of all deaths each year with breast cancer being one of the most common. Chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer usually have nonspecific toxicity which kills both tumor and normal cells and cause serious side effects that often limit their efficacy. This study aimed to synthesize chalcone and evaluate its antitumor activity.
Chalcone was synthesized using Claisen-Schmidt condensation and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The LD50 of the synthesized compound was estimated using OECD-425 guidelines in rats. A mammary tumor was induced with a single subcutaneous administration of 65 mg/kg of 1-methyl nitrosourea (MNU). The rats were palpated weekly to determine the size of the tumor. Eight weeks post MNU administration, the rats were divided into five groups of six rats each and treated with graded doses (12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg) of the compound and paclitaxel (10 mg/kg) for six weeks. Before treatment, three rats were randomly selected and sacrificed, and mammary gland samples were subjected to histological assessment to confirm the induction of the tumor. At the end of the treatment, the rats were euthanized, and mammary glands were collected and subjected to histological evaluation. The possible mechanism of action of the synthesized compound was elucidated in silico using molecular docking.
The compound was synthesized and named C6. C6 was found to be relatively safe with LD50 above 2000 mg/kg and exhibited remarkable antitumor activity. MNU-induced mammary tumor rats treated with C6 produced a significant decrease in tumor diameter when compared with the untreated group, histology slides displayed fewer signs of hyperplasia and small numbers of connective tissue with larger lobules when compared with the untreated group. In silico tubulin-binding interactions revealed that C6 binding to tubulin was like that of colchicine, and also has higher affinity to tubulin than colchicine. 
The synthesized chalcone demonstrated significant antitumor activities in MNU-induced mammary tumors in rats postulated via inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

Musa cavendishii (banana) peel is a waste product of human daily consumable fruit used traditionally in the management of ulceration and scar. This study evaluates the toxic effects of its peel in New-Zealand rabbits after topical administration. Acute and sub-chronic toxicity study of the peel extracts were carried out in 116 randomly selected rabbits using methods described by Organization of Economic Corporation and Development (OECD) 402 (2017) and 410 (2018), respectively. Changes in body and relative organ weight, hematology, serum liver and renal enzyme were investigated. Vital body organs were also processed for histopathology to observe any alteration from normal architecture. No mortality was observed during the acute toxicity with no changes in body and relative organ weight of the organs tested when compared with the control. After 28 days of topical administration of the extracts, even at the highest dose (1500 mg/kg) of the aqueous extract, the histoarchitexture of the skin’s epidermis and dermis, and other biochemical markers of the rabbits were normal. However, mild adipocyte infiltration, glandular hyperplasia and distortions in the renal parameters were seen in the hexane, ethylacetate and methanol extracts portions at the highest dose (1500 mg/kg) after 28 days topical administration. The study indicates that M. cavendishii peel is not capable of causing toxic effects in rabbits. However, it’s prolong use at higher doses may result in some harmful effects.

Published: March 2024

Globimetula oreophila is a hemiparasitic plant commonly called mistletoe, found growing on several dicotyledonous trees using them as a host for its root-like structure called haustoria. Globimetula oreophila has been used to cure a variety of ailments, including diarrhea, stomachache, headache, and fever. As a treatment for these ailments, the leaves and stem are boiled and the resulting decoction is drunk. The phytochemical compositions have not yet been scientifically confirmed despite their potential for medicinal use. The present study is aimed at investigating the leaves of G. oreophila fraction for phytochemicals, by qualitative and quantitative analysis. It was observed that from the qualitative screening, different fractions confirmed the presence of carbohydrates, saponins, cardiac glycoside, tannins, flavonoids, steroid/triterpene, and alkaloids. Anthraquinones were not observed in any of the fraction of G. oreophila plant. Further, the study of the quantitative findings revealed that the butanol fraction had more secondary metabolites when compared with other fractions and the crude extract. Higher flavonoid content was found in the butanol fraction as compared to crude ethanol extract (CEE) while phenols were found to be higher in crude ethanol extract as compared to the butanol fraction. There were significant differences in the total phytochemical contents of each fraction. The results also show that the analyzed plant is a beneficial source of secondary metabolites and may have contributed to the therapeutic use of the plant in traditional medicine for the management of diseases.
Effect of some aspirin analogues on SW480 Colorectal cancer cell line: Tip of the iceberg

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of death with approximately 1.9 million cases and  almost a million deaths worldwide in 2020. It is predicted that the global incidences of CRC will be over 3 million in 2040. Aspirin has been shown to have cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects on CRC cell lines. However, due to side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding in older patients, there has always a quest for safer and more effective analogues, leading to the synthesis of aspirin analogues. One of the primary regulators of the mitochondria-mediated pathway to apoptosis is the family known as BCL-2 proteins, which are broadly grouped into pro-apoptotic proteins such as BAX, BAK, BIK, BAD and anti-apoptotic proteins such as BCL-2 and BCL-XL.
Phase contrast images of the SW480 CRC cells treated with aspirin, meta-aspirin, para-aspirin, ortho-thioaspirin, meta-thioaspirin and para-thioaspirin at 0.5 mM for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were taken at 100X magnification.
Western blot was used to detect BAX and BCL-2 proteins by treating CRC cells with aspirin and its analogues, and analysed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. The blots were then probed with primary antibodies BCL-2 and BAX, after which the HRP bound protein-labelled antibody was visualised using ECL and exposed to CL-XPosure™ Film.
It was observed that the isomers of aspirin (O-ASP), meta-aspirin (M-ASP) and para-aspirin (P-ASP) significantly increased the density of BAX Ab. O-ASP, M-ASP, P-ASP and ortho-thioaspirin (O-TASP) significantly reduced the density of BCL-2 Ab, thus proposing that the anti-apoptotic effect of this cell line is reversed/reduced by these aspirin analogues.
The results of this study suggest that M-ASP and P-ASP have its antiproliferative effect on the SW480 CRC cell line via driving the pro-apoptotic effect of BAX protein and decreasing the expression of anti-apoptotic of BCL-2 protein, thus, encouraging apoptosis in this CRC cell line.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci are harmless microorganisms that can become pathogenic when the host resistance is impaired. Their ability to exhibit multidrug-resistance and form biofilm limit treatment options and contributes to the health and financial burden on health care systems worldwide. This study aimed to provide data on the acquisition and expression of genetic elements associated with resistance and virulence in the organisms from nasal colonization of adults admitted to a University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. One hundred and twenty-three presumptive staphylococci isolates were obtained from the medical microbiology laboratory of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria. The isolates were characterized, and the antibiotics susceptibility pattern assessed. Biofilm formation was evaluated by the micro-titre plate method, and polymerase chain reaction was used to detect resistance genes (mecA and ermB), virulence gene (psm-mec) and adhesin genes, (icaAB, icaC and icaD) in the isolates.
Out of the 60 coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates, 50 (83.3%) were strong biofilm formers, 5 (8.3%) were moderate biofilm formers and 5 (8.3%) were weak biofilm formers. For the 14 isolates that were characterized by PCR, mecA and ermB resistance genes were detected in 78% and 71% of the isolates respectively. Twenty-one percent had psm-mec virulence gene while biofilm adhesin genes, icaAB and icaD were detected in 36% and 57% respectively, icaC gene was not detected.
This study confirmed formation of biofilm, carriage of resistance and virulence genes which have been shown to play a role in pathogenesis. This study shows the necessity of the periodical monitoring of the drug resistance pattern and virulence factors of coagulase-negative staphylococci.

Recently, Emotion detection utilizing EEG signals develops popularity in domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). EEG (electroencephalography) is a non-invasive approach, which processes electrical action from the brain through electrodes located in the scalp. An emotion recognition approach could not only be significant for healthy people among them disabled persons for detecting emotional changes and is utilized for different applications. It is significant to realize that emotion recognition in EEG indications is a difficult task owing to difficult and subjective nature of emotions. In recent times, Machine learning (ML) algorithms like Random Forests or Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Deep Learning (DL) systems namely Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) or Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are trained on EEG feature extracted and connected emotional labels for classifying the user emotional state. This study presents an Automated EEG-based Emotion Detection using Bonobo Optimizer with Deep Learning (AEEGED-BODL) technique on HCI applications. The goal of the study is to analyze the EEG signals for the classification of several kinds of emotions in HCI applications. To achieve this, the AEEGED-BODL technique uses Higuchi fractal dimension (HFD) approach for extracting features in the EEG signals. Besides, the AEEGED-BODL technique makes use of the quasi-recurrent neural network (QRNN) approach for the detection and classification of distinct kinds of emotions. Furthermore, the BO system was demoralized for optimum hyperparameter selection of QRNN model, which helps in attaining an improved detection rate. The simulation validation of AEEGED-BODL algorithm was simulated on EEG signal database. The comprehensive result stated best outcome of the AEEGED-BODL algorithm over other recent approaches

Minimal surfaces and the new main inequality
Authors: Marković Vladimir , Sagman Nathaniel
Published: March 2024

We establish the new main inequality as a minimizing criterion for minimal maps into products of \(\mathbb{R}\)-trees, and the infinitesimal new main inequality as a stability criterion for minimal maps to \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Along the way, we develop a new perspective on destabilizing minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), and as a consequence we reprove the instability of some classical minimal surfaces; for example, the Enneper surface.
Speeds of convergence for petals of semigroups of holomorphic functions
Authors: Kourou Maria , Zarvalis Konstantinos
Published: March 2024

We study the backward dynamics of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk. More specifically, we introduce the speeds of convergence for petals of the semigroup, namely the total, orthogonal, and tangential speeds. These are analogous to speeds of convergence introduced by Bracci, yet profoundly different due to the nature of backward dynamics. Results are extracted on the asymptotic behavior of speeds of petals, depending on the type of the petal. We further discuss the asymptotic behavior of the hyperbolic distance along non-regular backward orbits.

Published: March 2024

West Bengal is a key producer of raw jute fiber in the country. Identifying and managing dry spells during the jute growing period is crucial, necessitating contingency crop planning for enhanced productivity. Keeping this view in mind, standardized precipitation index (SPI) was calculated over five locations, representing five different districts of southern West Bengal. These locations are Barrackpore (North 24 Parganas District), Panagarh (Burdwan District), Bagati (Hooghly District), Krishnanagar (Nadia District) and Uluberia (Howrah District). This rainfall dependent dryness index (SPI) was calculated in 1 month and 3 months interval to identify short term dryness as well as mid-term dryness, applicable for seasonal crops. The trend analysis of the SPI values indicated that North 24 Parganas and Nadia experienced increased dryness during vegetative phase of Jute. Nadia district showed a significant increase in both short term and long-term dryness. The yield reduction index is well correlated with SPI values in all the study locations except Howrah. Arrangement of irrigation during the early stages of Jute can help the crop to cope up with the break of monsoon in this region

A field experiment was conducted for three years (2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22) on 4 years old guava orchard established at 3×2 m spacing with drip irrigation treatments at two locations viz. Udaipur Rajasthan and, Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. Plant growth, yield contributing parameters, fruit yield and water use efficiency was significantly affected by different pan evaporation-based drip irrigation levels (70, 80, 90 & 100% of Epan) over local control. In existing climatic conditions of Udaipur and Rewa regions, the daily irrigation water requirement of high-density planting guava tree was varied from 7.8 to 26.3 and 4.5 to 26.5 liter/plant/day, respectively. Among all the pan evaporation-based drip irrigation levels, the irrigation supplied at 80% and 90% of daily pan evaporation were found as best approach for irrigating high density plantation (HDP) guava orchard through drip irrigation in Udaipur & Rewa regions with maximum fruit yield (37.3 & 30.7tha-1), irrigation water use efficiency (0.359 & 0.263tha-1-cm) along with significant water saving (29.2 & 22.2%), respectively over local control. Results will help farmers, policy makers and irrigation managers to conserve available fresh water resources in water scares regions of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

Authors: MERGIA GEZAHEGN
Published: March 2024

Drought is one of the most common natural disasters globally, having major impacts on environmental, economic, and social conditions and Ethiopia is no exception particularly the Oromia region. In order to evaluate and characterize the meteorological droughts associated with El Niño years over the Oromia region, the satellite data CHIRPS was used. The monthly time series data for the period from 1991 to 2020 was used for temporal and spatial analysis of meteorological drought using standardized precipitation index (SPI) across SPI3, SPI6, SPI9 and SPI12 indices using GeoCLIM, GIS, and Python tools. The results of this study show that meteorological droughts during the El Niño years indicated an increment across weak, moderate, and strong El Niño events over the Oromia region. The dryness was visualized with frequency and duration in time-scale across short-term drought indices in time steps. The time-scale temporal meteorological drought indices in three to twelve months show that the drought indices varied in magnitude, duration, and frequency in meteorological droughts. In general, the meteorological drought severity of correlation for the remaining zones analysis between SPI3 and SPI6, SPI6 and SPI12, and SPI9 and SPI12 indices was dominated by an increment of the correlation values over short to long timescales over the study area.
Climate changes impact on the distribution of vegetation in Wasit and Nineveh regions of Iraq
Authors: BAKR DHER I. , JASIM Al-KHALIDI  , HAMID BASHAR TALIB
Published: March 2024

Climate changes have a direct or indirect impact on many vital systems, including human and animal, as well as vegetation. The monthly precipitation and temperature for the period (1981-2021) and vegetation images (NDVI) for the period (2000-2022) from the satellite (NASA) for the regions of Ninevah and Wasit of Iraq were used to find out their variations over the space and time. It was found that the temperature was increasing with time, but the precipitation was in a state of turbulent increase in the two study areas. The distribution of vegetation was also in a state of change with time as well as within a region. The vegetation area increased with increase in precipitation which was greater in the Ninevah region than in the Wasit region. When there was a lack of precipitation, the vegetation cover area decreased in the two study areas.  The increase in temperature also resulted in a decrease in the density and area of vegetation. It was found that the change in the amount of precipitation was more influential than the change in temperature on the vegetative distribution.

Published: March 2024

This study was carried out to understand the pattern of surface energy fluxes over a periodical scale and energy balance closure using Large Aperture Scintillometer and Micrometeorological tower. The standalone technique as ‘Scintillometry’ which observes the structure parameter of refractive index based on Monin-Obukhov Similarity theory, has the potential to measure the sensible heat flux precisely. This paper discusses the surface energy balance components and energy balance closure over a period of August 2017 to June 2018. The maximum mean energy fluxes Rn, G, H and LE were observed in September (98.6 Wm-2), May (13.9 Wm-2), June (53.3 Wm-2) and August (82.1 Wm-2), respectively. The overall mean ET was observed at the rate of 1.36 mm day-1 during the study period.

The present research focuses on the variation of field pea production under different prevailing weather parameters, aiming to develop a reliable forecasting model. For that a field experiment was conducted in New Alluvial Zone of West Bengal during 2018-19 and 2019-20 with three different varieties (VL42, Indrira Matar, Rachana) of this region. Biomass predicting equation based on maximum temperature, minimum temperature and solar radiation was developed to estimate field pea yield for 2040-2099 period under SSP 2-4.5 and SSP 5-8.5 scenarios. It reveals that solar radiation positively influences crop biomass, while high maximum and minimum temperatures have adverse effects on yield. The developed forecasting equation demonstrated its accuracy (nRMSE=17.37%) by aligning closely with historical data, showcasing its potential for reliable predictions. Furthermore, the study delves into future climate scenarios, showing that increasing temperatures are likely to impact field pea yield negatively. Both biomass and yield showed decreasing trend for the years from 2040 to 2099. SSP 5-8.5 scenario, which is more pessimistic one, foresees a substantial reduction in crop productivity. This weather parameter-based biomass prediction equation can be effectively utilized as a method to assess the impact of climate change on agriculture.

Published: March 2024

With continuous increase of population and demand for nutritional food, analyzing potential yield of world maize affected by global warming is of great significance to direct the crop production in the future. Thus, in this paper both average and top (national) yields of world maize between 2021 and 2030 are projected creatively using ARIMA-TR (Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average and Trend Regression) model based on historic yields since 1961. The impact of global warming on the yields of world maize from 1961 to 2020 was analyzed using unary regression model. Our study concludes that between 2021 and 2030, average yield of world maize is projected to be from 5989 kg ha-1 to 6703 kg ha-1 while the top yield from 36530 kg ha-1 to 44271 kg ha-1, or the average ranging from 16.39% decreasingly to 15.14% of the top; from 1961 to 2020 global warming exerts positive effect on average yield of world maize less than on the top, which partly drives the gap between these two yields widened gradually; for world maize by 2030, the opportunities for improving global production should be mainly dependent on the advantage of high-yield countries.
Implikasi Teori Operant Conditioning terhadap Perundungan di Sekolah

Bullying at school is a serious problem in Indonesia. To overcome this problem, the theory of operant conditioning from B.F. Skinner can provide important insights. This article explores how operant conditioning theory can be applied to overcome school bullying. Bullying is aggressive behaviour carried out repeatedly to attack a weaker party. In operant conditioning, behaviour is influenced by its consequences, whether in the form of positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, or punishment. Positive reinforcement increases the likelihood of a behaviour being used, while punishment reduces it. Operant conditioning principles can be applied to reduce bullying behaviour, such as providing positive reinforcement for good behaviour and strict consequences for bullying behaviour. Teachers are important in implementing this principle to create a safe school environment. Operant conditioning-based interventions such as social skills training and forming support communities can help change bullying behaviour. However, bullying involves many factors, so operant conditioning theory is only one perspective in overcoming this problem. A comprehensive approach is needed involving various strategies and stakeholders in the school.

O Retinoblastoma é uma doença que acomete um em cada 16.000 nascidos vivos no mundo e, comumente, é originada a partir da perda bialélica do gene 1 do retinoblastoma (RB1), caracterizado como supressor do tumor. Todavia, estudos mais modernos associam a patologia a origens pouco conhecidas, a exemplo da amplificação da proteína Proto-Oncogênica-N-Myc (MYNC), que gera tumores mais violentos e de pior prognóstico. Portanto, é crucial analisar os mecanismos de ação da proteína MYNC para o entendimento e tratamento dessa enfermidade, que ainda é um desafio para os oncologistas pediátricos.

As glândulas hepatóides são glândulas sebáceas modificadas que possuem funções de lubrificar o reto e produzir um odor característico de identificação para cada animal. A proliferação neoplásica dessa estrutura é comum em cães machos idosos e pode ser benigna, adenoma, ou maligna, adenocarcinoma. O presente trabalho objetiva relatar um caso de adenoma de glândula hepatoide em um macho canino, da raça American Bully, de oito anos de idade. O animal apresentou aumento da região perianal e tempo de evolução desconhecido pelo tutor. Foram coletadas amostras de citologia da região do nódulo para análise. Posteriormente, o paciente passou por procedimento cirúrgico para remoção do nódulo que foi enviado para análise histológica. Na citologia foi observado celularidade moderada com elevada coesividade e núcleos ovalados hipercorados sem atipias, sendo sugestivo para adenoma de glândula perianal. O histopatológico da peça cirúrgica retirada do paciente, confirmou o diagnóstico de adenoma de glândula hepatoide. O diagnóstico foi confirmado com base em exame clínico e análise citológica e histopatologia. Apesar da citologia não permitir a confirmação diagnóstica, esse exame ajuda ao clínico a identificar lesões cancerígenas precocemente. O adenoma de glândula hepatóide é uma neoplasia de alta casuística, e o exame citológico deve ser utilizado para somar informações diagnóstica e para determinação de medida terapêutica.

Introdução – A doença renal crônica é uma entidade complexa, de curso prolongado, que acarreta alto custo financeiro aos agentes público e privado. Objetivo – tem como finalidade avaliar o gasto com as diferentes terapias dialíticas crônicas existentes no país, custeadas pelo sistema público e pela saúde suplementar no período entre 2016 a 2020. Método - Trata-se de um estudo descritivo onde se utilizaram informações do Datasus/Ministério da Saúde (www.datasus.saude.gov.br) e Mapa de Dados do TISS, para os anos 2018, 2019 e 2020, publicados pela Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar para computar os dados relativos as terapias realizadas pelo sistema privado. Resultados – observamos uma elevação de 29,82% no gasto com terapias dialíticas no período avaliado (de R$2.649.164.868 em 2016 para R$3.304.199.114 em 2020). Considerando-se o total de eventos, observa-se que há um incremento de 20,22% no número de procedimentos entre os anos de 2016 e 2020. Levando-se em consideração todo o gasto per capita brasileiro com diálise crônica no período, temos uma elevação de 26,34%. Contudo essa elevação foi de 20,26% quando avaliamos o sistema público e 118,21% quando avaliamos o sistema privado. Conclusão – Os gastos com terapia dialítica apresentaram elevação constante no período avaliado. Conhecer essa situação é fundamental para que os gestores públicos e privados façam as alocações de recursos necessários para custear essas terapias, além de programarem ações de prevenção para essa patologia.
