Published: May 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium in diverse environment, and has been implicated in various ecological and clinical activities. The present study assessed the spatial and temporal prevalence of P. aeruginosa in Lagos Lagoon surface water by isolation and enumeration of the culturable bacteria on two selective media (Cetrimide and Acetamide agar) and species identification was done by applying different biochemical test. Enumeration of the P. aeruginosa isolate observed throughout this study in the twelve stations sampled ranged from 2.5 – 57000.0 CFU/100ml. The percentage population density was highest (54.75%) at the peak of rainy season (July) while the other sampling period had less than 20%. The two stations (5 and 7) with 25.33% and 24.82% population density are notable for high anthropogenic activities. The counts of P. aeruginosa were not correlated with any of the physico-chemical parameters tested. The temporal and spatial percentage population density indicate possible higher contamination during rainy season due to increased runoff and that higher human activity obviously contributes to contamination respectively. This highlights potential consequence to human health and seafood safety as well as the possible ecological roles particularly in the breakdown of pollutants and other biotechnological benefits.

Published: May 2023

The study assessed rural farmers’ perceived effect of soil erosion on farming activities in Ikeduru local government area of Imo State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 120 rural farmers. Data collection was through structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean and percentage. Findings reveal that excessive rainfall (= 4.13), lack of good drainage system (= 3.95), large scale cutting of forest (= 3.75), deforestation (= 3.68) among others were the mean responses of farmers on the perceived causes of soil erosion. The study also revealed that ditches made by soil erosion in the area is so deep and horrifying (= 3.97), the level of erosion in the area has gone beyond individual control (= 3.78) and the level of soil erosion in the area is high (= 3.65) were the mean responses of farmers on level of soil erosion. Furthermore, land degradation (= 3.93), reduced crop yields (= 3.85), low food production (= 3.85), general decrease in soil fertility (= 3.80) among others were perceived effects of soil erosion on farming activities. From the findings, it was concluded that there were perceived negative effects of soil erosion on farming activities. The study recommended that government should provide assistance in the areas of repairs of existing erosion sites, establishment of soil erosion research centers, and provision of proper climate data especially on rainfall and forest regeneration to help reduce and control the perceived negative effects of soil erosion on farming activities in the study area.

Published: May 2023

This study investigated the antibacterial and antioxidant potentials of Chrysophyllum albidum leaf extract against selected enteric bacterial pathogens (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris). Fresh leaves of Chrysophyllum albidum were shade air-dried and ground into fine powder. Thereafter, the leaves powder was cold extracted using methanol and sterile distilled water in ratio 3:2(v/v). The mixture obtained was concentrated in vacuo using a rotary evaporator and lyophilized. The crude extract was screened for antibacterial, phytochemicals and antioxidant properties. The antibacterial properties were determined using agar well diffusion and agar dilution methods while the antioxidant and phytochemical assay were analyzed using standard methods. The phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, reducing sugar and cardiac glycosides. The zones of inhibition shown by the extract at 10 mg/mL against the bacterial isolates ranged between 10 mm and 22 mm. The highest zone of inhibition (22 mm) was expressed against Escherichia coli at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The MICs ranged between 1.25 mg/mL and 5mg/mL while MBCs ranged between 2.5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL. The antioxidant assay of leaf extract showed appreciable antioxidant potential when compared with ascorbic acid used as standard. The leaf extract exhibited percentage of 92.03% at a concentration of 500 µg/mL while ascorbic acid exhibited percentage of 96.54% at the same concentration. This study, therefore showed that leaf extract of Chrysophyllum albidum exhibited significant antibacterial and antioxidant activities against the test isolates.

Published: May 2023

Material and methods. The article presents the data of a histological study of biopsy material at the site of implantation of the thread, thread and the use of the IPL system on days 14th, 35th. Paraffin sections 5–7 μm thick were made from ready-made paraffin blocks and stained according to the Weigert – Van Gieson method. Using a microscope with a Sony digital photo attachment, 12-megapixel resolution, five photographs were obtained from each histological preparation. Microphotographs using the ImageView, Image Tool 2.00 (GistMorph) programs were used to evaluate the inflammatory response, evaluate the cellular composition, evaluate collagen and elastic fibers, and identify the percentage of collagen type.

Research results. In the biopsy specimen from the site of the implanted thread and IPL technology (Palomar, nozzle 1540, parameters 15, 60, three passes each), when examining histological slides stained according to the Weigert – Van Gieson method, the presence of elastic fibers was revealed, both in the thickness of the dermis and in connective tissue layers of subcutaneous fat. The relative area of elastic fibers in the dermis averaged 13.28 % (min 8.50 %, max 15.50 %). The relative area of elastic fibers in the subcutaneous adipose tissue averaged 2.28 % (min 1.30 %, max 4.80 %). In the biopsy specimen from the site of the implanted thread, the study of histological slides stained according to the Weigert – Van Gieson method revealed the presence of elastic fibers, both in the thickness of the dermis and in the connective tissue layers of the subcutaneous fat. The relative area of elastic fibers in the dermis averaged 13.16 (min 9.70 %, max 15.00 %). The relative area of elastic fibers in the subcutaneous adipose tissue averaged 14.98 % (min 12.20 %, max 16.70 %).

Conclusions. Thus, the study of samples revealed the predominance of type I collagen both in the skin and subcutaneous fat, however, it was less pronounced than with the combined method (implanted thread and IPL technology).
How to avoid reactions to topical retinoid therapy
Authors: Mildzikhova D. R. , Piruzyan A. L. , Korsunskaya I. M.
Published: May 2023

Topical retinoids are the first line treatment for mild to moderate acne. Although the drugs of this group are very effective in the treatment of acne, their use often causes irritant dermatitis – xerosis, peeling and other unpleasant symptoms. These adverse events reduce adherence to the therapy and, consequently, the effectiveness of the treatment. However, as shown by foreign clinical experience and our own observations, the use of moisturizers in combination with topical retinoid therapy can reduce the risk of irritant dermatitis. Preference should be given to moisturizers, whose components not only maintain a high level of skin hydration, but also can enhance the effect of the main drug.

Setting Positive Class Expectations through Shared Language, Civil Practices, and Clear Directions
Authors: Carney Amy , Ringenbach Kat
Published: May 2023

Instructors seek to create meaningful learning experiences for their students, and through student evaluations and self-reflection, teaching practices can be improved. While feedback from student evaluations at the end of a term can help to improve the experience, there are many proactive tactics instructors can use to create a positive and beneficial learning experience for students. The first step is to evaluate teaching practices and to create and revise courses as needed to reflect the constantly evolving challenges of teaching at a university. Given how content delivery is evolving, instructors need to reflect on how they can create a positive environment that provides structure and support for all students. This article discusses a few ways to improve teaching, including setting up clear expectations for communication and performance, providing clear directions and rubrics, engaging and communicating with students, building a safe community for learning, and providing substantive feedback. While the main goal is to increase student learning, another possible outcome of creating a safe and open space is more positive end of the term evaluations.

There has been no socialization about pneumonia and PCV immunization for toddler mothers in Uevolo Parigi Moutong Village. Purpose: To socialize pneumonia and PCV immunization to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers in Euvolo Village, Siniu District, Parigi Moutong Regency. Method: Community service is carried out by providing outreach through health counseling with banners about pneumonia and PCV immunization. The implementation of the activity was carried out at the Posyandu in Uevolo Village, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi Province on September 21 2022. The target of the dedication was 12 mothers of toddlers. Evaluation in the form of pretest and posttest which is measured on the same day. Results: Community service activities begin with a pre test. The opening question found that all of the mothers had never heard of pneumonia and PCV immunization. In the posttest, there was an increase in the knowledge of toddler mothers with an average value of 83. Conclusion: Outreach through health counseling with banners increases the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about pneumonia and PCV immunization. It is recommended that village midwives put up banners for pneumonia and PCV immunization at posyandu and other health services in the village.

SSGI data for 2021 shows that 30.3% of under-five children are stunted in West Sulawesi. The low participation of the mothers of Mamuju Regency in Posyandu activities may be one of the factors causing the high stunting rate in West Sulawesi. The Grebek Stunting activity carried out by the District Health Office of Mamuju in collaboration with the DPD Persagi of West Sulawesi. It aimed to increase D/S coverage for toddlers as a form of early detection of stunting toddlers. This activity was carried out in four stages: preparing, refreshing anthropometric assessment, Grebek Stunting and evaluation. Grebek Stunting was carried out by visiting toddler homes to carry out anthropometric measurements and assess nutritional status. The Grebek Stunting activity involved across sectors and increased D/S coverage to 36.1% from 49.6% in July to 85.7% in August. The involvement of PERSAGI West Sulawesi and cross-sectors can increase the coverage of D/S Posyandu to increase efforts to detect early stunting in toddlers. It is suggested that policy makers can involve cross-sectors in an effort to increase community participation in Posyandu activities.

Assistive technology, especially gaze-controlled, can promote accessibility, health care, well-being and inclusion for impaired people, including musical activities that can be supported by interfaces controlled using eye tracking. Also, the Internet growth has allowed access to a huge digital music database, which can contribute to a new form of music creation. In this paper, we propose the application of Music Information Retrieval techniques for music segmentation and similarity identification, aiming at the development of a new form of musical creation using an automatic process and the optimization algorithm Harmony Search to combine segments. These techniques for segmentation and similarity of segments were implemented in an assistive musical interface controlled by eye movement to support musical creation and well-being.

Processos criativos em composição musical: fontes de inspiração sob autoescrutínio
Authors: Torres Rita
Published: May 2023

São escassos os autoestudos de processos criativos em composição musical. Escassos são também os estudos sobre processos de compositoras. Motivada por estes problemas, decidi investigar os meus próprios processos criativos. Comecei por todos aqueles que ocorreram até agora, tendo focado o estudo nas fontes de inspiração dos processos. Procurei saber não só o que inspiraram, mas também como surgiram nos processos e no meu percurso, colmatando assim lacunas da literatura. Através de uma análise preliminar dos dados – que recolhi escrevendo relatos a partir das fontes de informação disponíveis – desenvolvi uma estrutura para os analisar sistematicamente, a qual poderá ser usada por outros investigadores em estudos semelhantes.

Quorum Sensing es una experiencia gastrosónica para tres comensales. Una sopa se sirve en una vajilla de vidrio especial (Vajilla Emocional), diseñada como resultado de un proyecto de investigación sobre asociaciones de formas y materiales con emociones musicales. Las acciones de cada comensal producen vibraciones aplicadas al cuerpo de los demás. El marco conceptual de los proyectos Quorum Sensing y Vajilla Emocional es múltiple: relacionar la experiencia humana con la de otras especies, aumentar táctilmente el sentido de presencia en la comensalidad, un enfoque multisensorial y transmodal del diseño de objetos y una reflexión sobre el uso de celulares y tabletas en la mesa. A futuro Quorum Sensing puede funcionar como dispositivo experimental para investigar estos aspectos así como el impacto de las vibraciones en la percepción de la comida.
Livestock feed markets across agro-ecological zones of Burkina Faso: feed provenance, price and quality

Published: May 2023

Livestock form a major means of livelihood in Burkina Faso where almost 80% of the rural population keep sheep and goats. However, the major constraint to livestock productivity is seasonal feed scarcity. To bridge the increasing feed gap, particularly in the dry season, livestock keepers are increasingly turning to purchase of feeds from markets, which has led to emergence of feed markets in peri-urban towns and cities in the Sahel. To characterize the dynamics of these livestock feed markets, to inform and guide the development of efficient feeding systems in peri-urban livestock production, we conducted surveys in feed markets in four major towns and cities of Burkina Faso across all the agro-ecological zones. Results from this study showed that the feed types on sale included browse, bush hay, bran of maize, millet, sorghum, rice and wheat, legume residues, cereal straw and agro-industrial by-products such as cottonseed cake and concentrate feed for ruminants. The average number of feeds sold per vendor ranged from 1.5 ± 0.1 in early dry season to 3.5 ± 0.4 in late dry season. More than 80% of the feed sellers in each location reported that generation of additional income for the household was the principal reason for feed sale. The price of livestock feeds sold at different locations in Burkina Faso varied significantly with season, market location and feed type. Cottonseed cake had the highest crude protein content in all locations and across seasons ranging from an average of 16.3 to 31.9% while cereal straw (millet, maize and sorghum straw) had the lowest crude protein content of 3.5%. The results also showed a lack of a clear trend in terms of relationship between price and nutritional quality which confirms the absence of quality standardization for feeds on sale in our study sites. In developing feed industry in the region, the issue of quality standardization needs to be addressed to facilitate establishment of nutritive value-based pricing and to ensure that consumers pay a premium for quality products.

Introduction

This study evaluated whether post in vitro capacitation changes in sperm could be used to estimate field fertility differences between bulls.

Methods

Frozen-thawed semen from five bulls (two to four ejaculates per bull) previously identified as high (48.1% and 47.7%), intermediary (45.5%) or low (40.7% and 43.1%) fertility, based on pregnancy per AI (P/AI), were evaluated for total and progressive motility, sperm plasma membrane integrity (viability), acrosome integrity (viable sperm with an intact or disrupted acrosome), reactive oxygen species (ROS; viable sperm ROS+ or ROS-), mitochondrial membrane energy potential, zinc signatures (signatures 1-to-4) and CD9 protein populations at pre-wash and post-wash (only total and progressive motility), h0 (diluted with non-capacitation media), and at h0, h0 CM, h3, h6, and h24 after dilution with capacitation media (CM) and incubation at 37ºC. Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedure as repeated measures in SAS with bull, time and the interaction as fixed effects.

Results

Bull by time interaction was significant (P≤0.03) for total motility, viability, viable sperm with disrupted acrosome, and zinc signature 3. There tended (P=0.06) to be a bull by time interaction for zinc signatures 1+2 combined. Time was significant (P≤0.003) in all analyses, except viable ROS- (P=0.12). There was a significant effect of bull (P≤ 0.03) for viability, viable sperm with disrupted acrosome, zinc signatures 1, 2 and 1+2, viable CD9- and dead CD9+. High and intermediary fertility bulls had greater (P≤0.04) percentages of viable sperm, zinc signature 2 and zinc signature 1+2 compared to low fertility bulls. High and intermediary fertility bulls had decreased (P≤0.05) percentage of dead CD9+ compared to low fertility bulls. Viable CD9+ differed (P=0.02) and viable sperm with an intact acrosome and viable CD9+ tended to differ (P=0.06) amongst bulls; however, association with field fertility was not observed. There was a positive correlation between P/AI and zinc signature 2 (P=0.04), and there tended to be a positive correlation between P/AI and viability (P=0.10), and zinc signature 1+2 (P=0.10).

Discussion

In summary, incubation of sperm in CM and flow cytometry analyses for viability, zinc signatures 2 and 1+2, and dead CD9+ seems promising to estimate in vivo fertility differences amongst bulls.
Tailoring the HHx monomer content of P(HB-co-HHx) by flexible substrate compositions: scale-up from deep-well-plates to laboratory bioreactor cultivations

The enhanced material properties exhibited by the microbially synthetized polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(HB-co-HHx)] evidence that this naturally biodegrading biopolymer could replace various functionalities of established petrochemical plastics. In fact, the thermal processability, toughness and degradation rate of P(HB-co-HHx) can be tuned by modulating its HHx molar content enabling to manufacture polymers à-la-carte. We have developed a simple batch strategy to precisely control the HHx content of P(HB-co-HHx) to obtain tailor-made PHAs with defined properties. By adjusting the ratio of fructose to canola oil as substrates for the cultivation of recombinant Ralstonia eutropha Re2058/pCB113, the molar fraction of HHx in P(HB-co-HHx) could be adjusted within a range of 2–17 mol% without compromising polymer yields. The chosen strategy proved to be robust from the mL-scale in deep-well-plates to 1-L batch bioreactor cultivations.
