GASTROINTESTINAL PARASITES IN HUNTING DOGS IN ZARIA
Authors: EHIMIYEIN A. M. , MAISHANU D. D. , BALOGUN S.
Published: December 2024

Hunting has been a practice in many parts of the country and mostly dogs have been use because of their close relationship with man. These dogs are usually at risk in the wild where they are exposed to wild animals, infections and ectoparasites. Among these parasites are haemoparasites that transmit different diseases to the dogs and also to humans. These diseases cause major economic losses and eventually death. There is a dearth of information about hunting dogs. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites among hunting dogs within Zaria based on age, sex and breed. Sixty one hunting dogs comprising of males (39) and females (22) were grouped into 3 based on their ages; less than a year, 1-3-year-old and above 3-year-old. Dogs aged 1-3-year-old had the highest prevalence of 30%, <1 year-old (19.5%) and >3-year-old (10%). Male dogs have a higher prevalence of 23.08% and females 13.64%. Nigerian indigenous dogs had a prevalence of 22.92% while cross breed 7.69%. There were no significant association of age, sex, breed and the prevalence of haemoparasites among hunting dogs in Zaria. Further investigation should be conducted among hunting dogs in the Zaria, so as to put appropriate control and preventive measures in place.

Published: December 2024

The aim of the study was to comparatively evaluate the variation in physiological parameters of Yankasa (n=10) and recently introduced, Sudan Fat-tailed (n=10) sheep during the peak of the hot-dry season in the Guinea Savannah climate. Results revealed that the rectal, skin, eye and hair temperatures, as well as respiratory and pulse rate were significantly higher in the afternoon as compared with the morning and evening hours in both breeds. The Sudan Fat-tailed exhibited lower (P <0.05) skin and hair temperatures in the morning, while in the afternoon hours, they had higher (P < 0.05) eye temperature and heart rate compared with Yankasa sheep. There was no significant breed difference in respiratory rate and rectal temperature. It was concluded that although both breeds of sheep showed some variation in physiological response to the heat stress during the peak of the hot- dry season, they are equally adapted to the peak of the heat stress in the Guinea Savannah climate. However, the adaptive responses of Sudan Fat-tailed to other seasons need to be evaluated.

Published: December 2024

Drug interaction has been reported to have synergism, however some have resulted in counteractive effects. The aim of this study is to look at the effect of intramuscular lignocaine on propofol hypnosis was administered intramuscularly (IM) with intravenous (IV) 1.0% propofol (Propoval®, Bhanatserums & vaccines Ltd, India), at 6mgkg-1 (control). The second was IM 1% lignocaine at 2.0mgkg-1 with IV 1.0% propofol (Propoval®, Bhanatserums & vaccines Ltd, India), at 6mgkg. Maintenance fluid flow rate of 5mgkghr-1was administered throughout the anaesthetic period for supportive. A combination of lignocaine and propofol produced a brief period of analgesia and hence a state of narcosis compare to the control. The combination produced a significantly longer time to intubation, sternal recumbency, standing and duration of hypnosis compared to the control. Concluding from the study, combination of lignocaine/ propofol enhanced the hypnotic effect of propofol and safe for use in this breed of dogs.

Published: December 2024

In the present study, the effects of weeks of lactation on partial milk yield, milk cholesterol and body weight of lactating West African Dwarf does were investigated. Twelve WAD does with mean initial weight of 24.51.58 kg were housed individually in pens. Partial milk yield was measured weekly and milk samples were analyzed for cholesterol content. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance using general linear model procedures. Stage of lactation significantly affected milk yield, milk cholesterol content and body weight measurement. Highest milk cholesterol level and peak milk yield were observed at the 3rd and 4th week of lactation respectively and both decreased as lactation advanced.
OPTIMISATION OF N-ETHYL-N-NITROSOUREA (ENU) DOSE FOR MUTAGENESIS IN THE NIGERIAN YORUBA ECOTYPE CHICKEN

Published: December 2024

The optimal dose and regime of ENU for mutagenesis in the chicken was determined through dose titration (Omg/kg body weight, control group; 100mg; 200mg; 300mg and 400mg/kg body weight) and regime variation (single shot, half dose in each of two consecutive weeks, and 1/3 dose in each of 3 consecutive weeks) studies in one hundred and twenty (120) 25 week-old improved Nigerian local chicken cocks. The study was laid out as a 5 X 3 factorial layout of treatments within a completely randomized experimental design. Eight individually tagged cocks were assigned to each treatment. Mortality was recorded over 48 hours from the point of each ENU administration. From week 5 -14 following completion of the assigned ENU dose/regime, semen was collected from each ENU mutagenized cock twice weekly and used to inseminate two Issa Brown commercial layers hens i.e. 1:2 mating ratio and a total of 240 hens used. Eggs were collected over a period of 5 days in each week and set in an egg incubator to test fertility (candling at day 12). The data showed that ENU dose and regime independently and significantly (p<0.05) control fertility. The 400mg dose produced significantly lower fertility than the control group throughout the examined period, indicating an absence of recovery of fertility to levels comparable to the Control group. There was transient loss of fertility in the 300mg dose group relative to the control group in weeks 6, 8, 10, 11 and 13 and at week 14, fertility was not significantly (p>0.05) different from the control group. The 200mg dose showed no significant loss of fertility throughout the experimental period, and this was mirrored in the 100 mg group except at week 10. ENU regime significantly (p<0.05) determined fertility at weeks 7 and 9-11 only. Administration of 1/3 dose in each of 3 consecutive weeks resulted in the longest period of consistent loss of fertility (weeks 9-11) relative to the group given the assigned dose in a single shot regime. Cumulative mortality within 48 hours after ENU administration was significantly determined by dose (Omg, 100 mg, 200 mg < 300 mg < 400mg) and regime (1 dose > 2 doses, 3 doses). The 300 mg dose administered in 3 equal fractions over 3 weeks resulted in transient sterility and recovery and is therefore recommended for ENU in Nigerian local chicken.

Digital Mandala: Recovering Life’s Meaning and Purpose from Your Heart Pulse Wave. How ancient wisdom helps get your modern life meaning and purpose
Authors:   SATHeart SA, rue Galilée 15, 1400 Yverdon-les Bain, Switzerland, Celka Patrick
Published: December 2024

Our current era is filled with human, animal, and plant trauma. Life's meaning became hard to find and sustain. Past heroes are long gone to be replaced by machine intelligence in a dehumanized spiritless society in quest of meaning and purpose. Using the modern techniques of pulse wave biosensing and the interpretation of the elements from these signals, we construct in real-time a cosmic Mandala that may serve to rebalance the participant's psychophysiological energies. The ancient wisdom of pulse wave reading is translated into beautiful and meaningful digital Mandalas that can evoke a sense of Self, belonging, beauty, and love. Beyond a dualistic interpretation of outer and inner elemental perceptions, the Mandala collapses onto a single sphere representing a nondual state of consciousness that may be experienced by the practitioner.
The Scientific Orthodoxy and the double Orthodox Harmonization. Comparison with other Religions
Authors:   State Office for Inventions & Trademarks;  GCI-DLMFS, Romanian Academy
Romania, Arghirescu Marius
Published: December 2024

It is deduced from the content of the paper, that the scientific orthodoxy - based on the principle of orthodox reciprocity and the principle of double orthodox harmonization (D.O.H.) –implying the use of this scientizing principle of reciprocity also for the relation: man-Nature, by the fact that they increase the psycho-social-useful value of a psycho-social system- in accordance to some mathematical estimates, they are thus constituted as an ideology of increasing the potential/ the ability of individuals to normalize their psycho-social life, being a main ideological means of reducing the danger of functional blocking of the human psycho-social system. It also follows that similar principles of scientific orthodoxy also exist in other religions, but without the principle of reciprocity as a basic principle of the man- Nature relationship. This also indicates the need to implement in Orthodox education the principle of the double Orthodox- scientific harmonization, for a society where the concept of psycho-social normality is based on scientific humanism.
Bridges, Boundaries, and Creativity: Integrating Pre and Post-modernity
Authors:   EUROTAS - European association of Transpersonal Psychology, Italy, Lattuada Pier Luigi
Published: December 2024

Experience and hermeneutics are inseparable. By analyzing different ways of thinking grouped into the three broader categories of rational, pre and post-rational, this work focuses on how they are related to boundaries, bridges, and creativity. The boundaries are the place where conscious experience happens; the bridges are the change, and the choice of interconnection, the creativity, the way of managing this interrelatedness. Archetypes will be presented as the essential forming forms that unify human experiences, transcending and including diversity, offering an opportunity to bridge heritage and novelty. This will be sustained by getting a glance at ancient traditions worldwide. The article also proposes a specific post-rational way of thinking named transe- cognition.
The Progression of Modern Western Psychological Theories to Incorporate Religious Thought
Authors:   Grand Canyon University, Bowman Glen Alan
Published: December 2024

The focus of psychology has shifted significantly throughout modern history and separate schools of thought have developed to explain this important topic. Four considerable trends in modern Western psychology have progressed research and understanding, with each trend starting through a mindset to compensate for weakness in preceding theories. Psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychology have facilitated a greater understanding of the human mind and experiences in a primarily constructive direction. However, these schools of thought intentionally excluded religious teachings and worldviews, despite the strong history of believers in religion and the positive benefits that religion can provide. Transpersonal psychology and positive psychology have explored religious experiences and practices, using this knowledge to advance psychology beyond the previous schools of thought and improving the psychological well-being of those who have gleaned from their findings. Analyzing and synthesizing these movements, as well as related fields of study, leads to recommendations for future directions to advance psychological research.

Published: December 2024

This article tries to uncover the viability of the „God Hypothesis” as a framework for applying scientific methodologies to theological claims, examining the historical context, philosophical foundations, and contemporary challenges of this endeavor. By evaluating the potential for empirical verification of theological assertions through case studies on miracles, near-death experiences, and quantum mechanics, the paper addresses the epistemological boundaries between science and theology. It also considers the implications of emerging technologies and interdisciplinary approaches for the future of the God Hypothesis in the 21st century.
On Science, Faith, Quantum Theory, and Decisions
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo, Oslo. Norway, Helland Inge Svein
Published: December 2024

The author explores the consequences of a new approach towards the foundation of quantum theory. The final aim of this approach has been to try to build a bridge between modern physics and other scientific disciplines, in particular statistical science. One aspect of the approach is first that arguments for a God which has arbitrarily large knowledge can be given. Secondly, that God can be seen as being perfectly rational. One of the consequences is a theory of decisions, a theory that also is valid for decisions made by political leaders. Some implications are sketched.
Editorial: Novelty vs. Heritage: Navigating the Tapestry of Human Evolution
Authors:   Ovidius University of Constanta, Department of Theology, Constanta, Romania, Ciocan Tudor-Cosmin
Published: December 2024

The 2024 Fall edition of Dialogo marks a decade of bridging disciplines, connecting science and theology, and fostering spirited dialogue on humanity’s most pressing questions. This special anniversary edition centers on the theme “Novelty vs. Heritage: Navigating the Tapestry of Human Evolution.”
As humanity evolves, we find ourselves navigating the delicate balance between preserving cultural heritage and embracing revolutionary change. This issue examines the interplay between modernism and traditionalism, exploring whether humans are best defined by adhering to the legacy of the past, venturing boldly into uncharted territories, or blending both approaches. Across epochs, history reveals a cyclical struggle—periods of stability dominated by heritage versus times of disruption fueled by innovation.
This edition gathers contributions from scholars across art, literature, science, and theology to unravel the complexities of this enduring dichotomy. The articles traverse historical contexts, contemporary dilemmas, and psychological dimensions, investigating how revolutionary ideas influence cultural identity and collective consciousness. Key themes include the role of technology as a catalyst for societal change, art and literature’s portrayal of this tension, and how spirituality navigates evolving belief systems.
Through interdisciplinary exploration, this issue aims to illuminate the signs and trends shaping human evolution, prompting reflections on whether we are currently undergoing a silent transformation. Join us in this intellectual journey as we examine the tapestry of human history and ponder the future trajectories of our species in light of its past. Welcome to Dialogo’s celebration of a decade of dialogue, connection, and discovery.
Dynamic identification of snow phenology in the Northern Hemisphere

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Snow phenology characterizes the cyclical changes in snow and has become an important indicator of climate change in recent decades. Changes in snow phenology can significantly impact climate and hydrological conditions. Previous studies commonly employed fixed threshold methods to extract snow phenology. However, these methods do not account for the variability in snow distribution across the Northern Hemisphere, leading to potential biases of snow phenology. In this study, we observe that snow phenology extracted from different snow data and methods shows significant differences, but consistently underestimates snow duration at low and middle latitudes. Our analysis further indicates that the changes in snow depth exhibits a significant shift around 10 % of peak value across the Northern Hemisphere, marking the transition between the snow and non-snow seasons. We further apply the 10 % snow depth threshold and investigate the differences between original and newly extracted snow phenology. At low and middle latitudes, the snow cover duration (SCD) extends, the snow cover onset day (SCOD) advances, and the snow cover end day (SCED) delays, especially on the Tibetan Plateau, where the SCD differences can reach 28 days. The change at higher latitudes is reversed. The dynamic snow phenology accounts for the spatial heterogeneity of Northern Hemisphere snow cover, and excludes the influence of inter-annual variability of snow cover on snow phenology extraction, providing a novel perspective for identifying and understanding snow cover variations in the Northern Hemisphere.
The influence of firn layer material properties on surface crevasse propagation in glaciers and ice shelves
Authors: Clayton Theo , Duddu Ravindra , Hageman Tim , Martínez-Pañeda Emilio
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) models have been used to estimate crevasse depths in glaciers and to represent iceberg calving in ice sheet models. However, existing LEFM models assume glacier ice to be homogeneous and utilize the mechanical properties of fully consolidated ice. Using depth-invariant properties is not realistic as the process of compaction from unconsolidated snow to firn to glacial ice is dependent on several environmental factors, typically leading to a lower density and Young's modulus in upper surface strata. New analytical solutions for longitudinal-stress profiles are derived using depth-varying properties based on borehole data from the Ronne Ice Shelf and are used in an LEFM model to determine the maximum penetration depths of an isolated crevasse in grounded glaciers and floating ice shelves. These maximum crevasse depths are compared to those obtained for homogeneous glacial ice, showing the importance of including the effect of the upper unconsolidated firn layers on crevasse propagation. The largest reductions in the penetration depth ratio were observed for shallow grounded glaciers, with variations in Young's modulus being more influential than firn density (maximum differences in crevasse depth of 46 % and 20 %, respectively), whereas firn density changes resulted in an increase in penetration depth for thinner floating ice shelves (95 %–188 % difference in crevasse depth between constant and depth-varying properties). Thus, our study shows that the firn layer can increase the vulnerability of ice shelves to fracture and calving, highlighting the importance of considering depth-dependent firn layer material properties in LEFM models for estimating crevasse penetration depths and predicting rift propagation.

. In this work, definitive tribological tests were carried out on the material system “40Ch - gear oil - HCh15” to
assess the nature of the action of the additional composition POLYTRONMTC for its adaptability to high-speed, power
loading conditions and the ability to form reliable lubricating formations in conditions of insufficient lubrication. Physical
modeling of the manifestation of friction in the upper boundary of boundary lubrication with a friction coefficient of 0.12
≤ μg≤ 0.2, as well as semi-dry and dry friction was performed. It was established that high contact pressures in the range
from 4.2 MPa to 8.6 MPa at the beginning of running-in created features of resistance to the flow of oil components into
the zones of the contour areas of friction interaction, which determined to a greater extent mechanical metal connections
when sliding with a sufficiently high coefficient of friction μс = 0.3-0.7. In this case, the conditional point contact at sliding
speeds determined the number of oil molecules that were directed to the diffuser contact zone, i.e. behind the ball along
the friction path on the surface of the rotating disk. A fundamental difference in the manifestation of POLYTRONMTС was
revealed when it is added to Opet Fullgear FRM 75W-80, CastrolSyntraxUniversal 80W-90 oils, which have a synthetic
base, and Castrol ATF MultiVehicle 75W-80 oil, which has a mineral base. Graphic patterns of changes in friction and wear characteristics have been constructed for the model conjugation “moving disk-fixed ball”.
8. Yargı Paketiyle 5271 Sayılı Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu’nda Değiştirilen Sürelerin Mahkemeye Erişim ve Gerekçeli Karar Hakkı Çerçevesinde Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Tunç Gökçe
Published: December 2024

Süreler, muhakeme hukuku tarafından sistemli bir biçimde düzenlenmesi ve uyulması gereken kurumlardan biridir. Bu kurum, yargılamanın hızlı ve düzenli ilerlemesi bakımından önemli bir görev ifa eder. Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu’nda yapılan sürelere ilişkin değişikliklere neden olan hukuki süreç Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin, istinaf kanun yoluna başvuru süresinin hükmün tefhiminden itibaren başlayacağına ilişkin 273. maddesinin 1. fıkrasının mahkemeye erişim hakkına ölçüsüz bir sınırlama getirdiği gerekçesiyle Anayasa’ya aykırı olduğuna ve hükmün iptaline karar verdiği 23.10.2023 tarihli kararıyla başlamıştır. Bunun üzerine benzer nitelikteki temyiz kanun yolundaki düzenleme ile Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu’nda yer alan bazı kanun yollarına ilişkin süreler değişikliğe uğramıştır. Hem mahkemeye erişim hakkı hem de gerekçeli karar hakkı Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi tarafından Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi m. 6’nın bir unsuru olarak kabul edilmekle birlikte, Sözleşme’de açıkça düzenlenmeyen haklardandır. Her iki hak da mutlak olmayıp, meşru amaca hizmet eden kanuni düzenlemelerle ve ölçülü bir şekilde sınırlandırılmaları mümkündür. Muhakeme hukukundaki süreler de nitelikleri itibariyle mahkemeye erişim hakkının meşru sınırlamalarından biridir. Bunun yanında hükmün tefhimiyle birlikte sürelerin başlayacağına ilişkin değişiklik öncesi düzenleme de gerekçeli karar hakkı ile yakından ilgilidir. Bunun dışında her iki düzenlemenin savunma için gerekli süre ve kolaylıklara sahip olma hakkı ile de yakından ilgisi bulunmaktadır. Bunun yanında Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu’nda sürelerin Hukuk Muhakemesi Kanunu’ndaki sürelerle birlikte yeknesaklaştırılması amacıyla birçok değişiklik yapılmıştır. Bu değişikliklerin temelindeki yeknesaklaştırılma gerekçesi olarak gösterilen hak arama yollarındaki karmaşıklık ise sorunludur. Yapılan değişiklik öncesi durumda bu haklara ilişkin ihlal oluşturan bir sistemin mevcut olup olmadığı ile 7499 sayılı Kanun’la değiştirilen sürelerin var olan sorunları ortadan kaldırıp kaldırılmayacağına ilişkin değerlendirmeler çalışmada yapılacaktır.

AN ANALYSIS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' LABORATORY SELF-EFFICACY BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS OF LABORATORY APPLICATIONS
Authors: Mustafaoglu Fatma Merve , Alkan Fatma
Published: December 2024

Background: Chemistry is one of the least preferred courses and is considered an abstract and difficult branch of science by students. In order to make chemistry more meaningful and interesting, it is of great importance to do more laboratory activities and to relate chemistry to daily life. When designing chemistry programs, the skills that students need to develop should be taken into account. Among these skills, laboratory perception and self-efficacy are the most prominent ones. Aim: This research was conducted to determine the perceptions of high school students regarding laboratory practices to reveal their self-efficacy in chemistry laboratories and also to determine the changes in perception and self-efficacy according to grade level and gender. Methods: The study was designed using the relational survey model. The study sample consists of 423 high school students. MANOVA test was performed to determine the effects of gender and grade level on students' laboratory perception and self-efficacy. Results: According to the MANOVA results, the gender effect is significant, but the class level effect and the gender*class level effect are not significant. However, there was a difference with respect to gender in the dimensions of the goals of the laboratory, the effectiveness of the laboratory, and the planning of the chemistry perception. It was determined that female students had higher perceptions of laboratory goals, while male students had higher perceptions of laboratory effectiveness and planning. Discussion: It is thought that examining the perceptions and self-efficacy of high school students regarding laboratory activities before they start their undergraduate education and analyzing how these factors are related to various variables can guide university-level education.Conclusions: These results indicate that high school students' perceptions of chemistry laboratory practices and their self-efficacy in the lab are at a moderate level. To enhance students' perceptions of chemistry, it is recommended that hands-on activities be incorporated into the curriculum.
MOLECULAR ASSESSMENT OF SOIL NITROGEN CYCLE UNDER ORGANIC AMENDMENTS IN COTTON BROAD-ACREAGE PRODUCTION
Authors: Aldorri Sind Shamel , Oun Hamid Gehad Abd , Morugán-Coronado Alicia , Pereg Lily
Published: December 2024

Background: The cotton production belt in Australia covers vast areas from subtropical to temperate and grassland. Soil types are mostly different variations of clay, with mainly black, grey, and red clay soil containing variable proportions of sand. Growers often grow cotton in rotation with other crops, such as wheat, beans, and corn, and soil fertilization varies with a number of growers using organic amendments such as manure or compost before planting as a supplementary source of nutrients. Aim: The objective of this study is to understand the influence of various crop production management strategies on soil microbial communities and soil microbial function. Thus, it assists in improving the soil quality and sustaining crop production with high yields at a lower cost. Methods: To achieve the aim of this study, had been used qPCR to estimate the abundance of functional genes involving nitrogen-cycle (nifH, ureC, nirS, nirK, nosZ as well as bacterial and archaeal amoA) genes in the soil. Results: It showed increased soil organic carbon compared to solely commercially fertilized soil. However, there were differences in the effects of compost and manure on soil organic carbon and nitrogen-cycling microbial communities. Compost-increased organic carbon pre-planting correlated with an increase in the nifH gene, whereas manure-amended soils sustained nifH abundance in the soil post-planting during seedling growth when nifH abundance decreased elsewhere. In contrast, the greatest abundance of ureolytic microbes carrying the ureC gene was found in inorganic urea-fertilized soil. Denitrification genes nirS, nirK, and nosZ were also more abundant in cotton soils receiving organic amendments. Bacterial and archaeal nitrifiers responded differently to compost and manure, with bacterial amoA abundance greater with manure supplementation and archaeal amoA greater with compost supplementation. Discussion: Organic amendment using mulch or manure as a supplement to commercial fertilization enhanced cotton soil prospects for microbial functions necessary for N input and output into the biosphere, particularly N fixation and denitrification. Conclusions: We concluded that greater soil organic carbon supported an increased potential for microbial functions essential for the input and output of nitrogen into the biosphere, namely nitrogen fixation and denitrification.

Published: December 2024

Background: Asprosin is a protein hormone important in regulating appetite; glucose and lipid metabolites are secreted during fasting. Aims: The present study investigates the relationship between asprosin level and oxidative stress in MetS. Methods: The study included 171 participants persons aged 35–65 years who were divided into two groups: a control group, which included 75 participants, and a patient group, which included 95 participants from patients getting treatment at the Ibn Sina Educational Hospital in the Iraqi city of Mosul. Ethical approval was obtained from the Iraqi Ministry of Health - Nineveh Health. Five milliliters of venous blood were taken following a fast for an entire night. To perform oxidative and antioxidative factor tests as well as clinical evaluations. Results: Asprosin hormone levels in MetS significantly increased, but a significant decrease of antioxidative (glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, and arylesterase) also A substantial rise in malondialdehyde, lactoperoxidase, and peroxidase. It was found through the linear correlation coefficient (R) that there was a significant positive correlation between asprosin and oxidative and an inverse correlation with antioxidative variables. Discussion: These findings imply that asprosin is an indicator of metabolic disorders and is associated with MetS and oxidative stress indicators. Conclusions: Therefore, it can be considered a new indicator and a promising tool for diagnosis and treatment to initiate and develop.

Creating artworks, especially, painting have undergone a lot of changes overtime. Over the years, artists have adopted different styles and techniques in creating painting using different materials. Most of the inspirations for creating the work are gathered from their immediate environment. This paper discusses how cave walls, rocks, animal skins, animal horns and bones became surfaces on which drawings and paintings were depicted. It also notes how assorted papers, canvases, walls, wood, metal panels and many others have become surfaces used by contemporary artists in creating paintings. In another breath, the paper also takes a look at how calabashes of different shapes and sizes have been used by traditional craftsmen in Nigeria for making a variety of carved and decorative craft works. It discusses how the calabash could be adopted to serve as a support for creating modern paintings. It further explains application of the action based studio methodology in creating over one hundred (100) paintings in acrylic with some analysis
Bitcoin price movement prediction by news sentiment using machine learning approach
Authors: Tam Phan Huy , Thuy Chu Quang
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the potential of news sentiment, derived from Google News, in predicting Bitcoin price movements. It explores the correlation between sentiment in news headlines and Bitcoin's market behavior. Employing a data set of news headlines related to Bitcoin from Google News, this research applies sentiment analysis and various machine learning algorithms, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, and KNN. The approach involves extracting sentiment scores and correlating these with historical Bitcoin price data. The analysis revealed that Decision Tree and Random Forest algorithms provide a balanced prediction for Bitcoin price movements. Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine showed high AUC scores but with unbalanced class predictions. Naïve Bayes and KNN were less effective. Overall, sentiment analysis of news headlines can predict short-term Bitcoin price movements to a reasonable degree. This research offers a novel tool for investors and market analysts, enhancing understanding of the impact of news sentiment on cryptocurrency prices. It provides a predictive model to assist in investment decision-making and market analysis. This study contributes to the literature on financial forecasting by integrating sentiment analysis with machine learning for cryptocurrency price prediction. It's one of the few studies to analyze the impact of news sentiment on Bitcoin price, offering a new perspective in the realm of financial technology and digital currencies.
Does “The Purchasing Managers' index” (PMI) affect the operational efficiency of commercial banks in Vietnam?
Authors: Dan Do The , Oanh Dao Le Kieu
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) on the operational efficiency of 17 commercial banks in Vietnam from 2013 to 2020. Utilizing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the research analyzes how macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth and inflation, alongside internal bank metrics, influence bank performance. The findings reveal an inverse relationship between PMI and bank operational efficiency. Additionally, GDP growth and inflation positively affect ROE, while non-performing loans negatively impact it. These results provide valuable insights for bank managers to enhance bank performance by monitoring the PMI.
Vietnamese young consumers’ green purchase behavior: Does green trust matter?

Published: December 2024

It is crucial to practice environmentally responsible purchasing since impulsive purchases can damage the environment. Green purchase behavior (GP) can help consumers lessen their environmental impact. An integrated structural model of GP was developed by drawing on postulates from the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). A total of 302 Vietnamese university students were surveyed using the snowball sampling method. It was found through structural equation modeling (SEM) that there is a significant association between perceived severity (PS), perceived vulnerability (PV), and GP. The relationship between PS, PV, and GP is mediated by attitude toward green purchase (ATT). Also, green trust (GTR) plays a significant moderating role in the PV and GP relationship. The findings, including the correlations between the variables, provide credence to the suggested theoretical framework. Since studies on environmental problems and green purchasing behavior are still in their early stages, this work helps fill a gap in our understanding of the phenomenon in the context of Vietnam, a developing Southeast Asian economy. This research may help manufacturers and marketers of green products encourage the use of their products to improve environmentally friendly and sustainable behavior. The findings suggest marketers and manufacturers should emphasize environmental pollution's perceived severity and vulnerability. It is also critical to establish consumers' trust in green marketing.
CBDCs, banknotes and bank deposits: the financial stability nexus
Authors: Martínez Resano José Ramón
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the financial stability nexus within a monetary ecosystem that has been expanded to include a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The paper examines the new risks associated with the introduction of a CBDC, their mitigants and their potential amplification factors. Economists and academics still seem to be split on the validity of the traditional principle of separating money into two tiers of public and private money, as a structural mitigant of the risks of deposit substitution and banking disintermediation towards CBDCs. The potential amplification of the risks associated with CBDCs through credit-related second-round effects is an additional concern. The systematic study of the risks and mitigants carried out in the paper highlights the importance of partially adapting the two-tier system of money by implementing certain limits, as envisaged in CBDC plans. The endogenous mitigation of the risks through improved bank competition often attributed to CBDCs is uncertain and may be insufficient from a systemic risk perspective. The introduction of exogenous mitigants, like CBDC holding limits calibrated on the basis of a robust methodology, seems instrumental to ensure the consistency of a monetary ecosystem that includes a CBDC. Hence, the paper addresses some fundamental methodological issues related to these limits, such as the rationale for alternative targets for the limits, the influence of disintermediation speed, the time horizons involved in the limitation and adaptation process, and the role of regulatory and market frictions. An illustrative empirical analysis for the Spanish case indicates that financial stability might not be a concern for reasonable levels of CBDC take-up, although the complexity and novelty of this instrument call for a more in-depth analysis in the future.
Varieties of pigmented dental plaque in children (literature review)

Relevance. It is quite common for children as young as one year old to have plaque on their teeth. It can be yellow (poor hygiene), gray (enamel hypoplasia), green (damage of the tooth pellicle), brown (excess of iron in saliva), and black. What scares parents the most is the black plaque on children’s teeth. It is also called Priestley’s non-specific bacterial plaque. Pigmented dental plaque is more common in children with carious teeth (44.69%) than in children with intact teeth (29.76%) [7]. In the presence of pigmented dental plaque in children aged two to seven years, a prevalence of dental caries was found to be 68% with an intensity of 2.9 [6,11].
