Published: June 2024

Hemochromatosis is a prevalent hereditary disorder that causes excess iron to build up in the body to dangerous levels. Hereditary hemochromatosis, also known as HFE-related hemochromatosis is carried on by changes in the HFE gene. Investigating the gene mutations of the HFE gene is a way to explore the prevalence of this disease. This study aims to determine the association between hemochromatosis HFE gene mutations (C282Y and H63D) and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in patients at Basra Specialized Hospital for Children and AL-sadder Teaching Hospital in the Basra governance. QIAamp DNA and Blood Mini Kit were used to isolate and identify Human genomic DNA and detect mutations in the HFE gene using the DNA hybridization method. In this study, the absence of the C282Y mutations in both patients and the control group was identified. However, testing DNA-based hybridization experiments revealed low detection levels of the H63D (homozygous, heterozygous) mutations; in only 12.5% of patients. The H63D (only homozygous) mutations were present in 10% of the control group. The association between patients and the control group is considered statistically significant. The HFE gene mutations (C282Y and H63D), originate in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in childhood, thus, this study recommends complementary investigations to illustrate this case in more detail with more cases of patients and discover the hidden agents underlying these mutations.

Authors: Barrak Mohammed M. , Al-Aidy S. R. , Morteza Bonyadi
Published: June 2024

An uncommon autosomal recessive condition called DREAM-PL syndrome is typified by dysmorphic facial features, renal agenesis, male ambiguous genitalia, microcephaly, polydactyly, and lissencephaly. The CTU2 gene, which is in charge of tRNA post-transcriptional modification, is mutated in the syndrome. This alteration is necessary for the correct translation of genes, and its disruption can result in several aberrant embryonic processes. The severity of DREAM-PL syndrome can vary from moderate to severe, and the clinical characteristics can be diverse. While some patients may exhibit only some of the distinguishing features, others may have all of them. The most common characteristics include ambiguous genitalia, dysmorphic facies, and microcephaly. Diagnosis of DREAM-PL syndrome is typically based on clinical signs and confirmed through genetic testing, which can identify mutations in the CTU2 gene.  Material and methodology: In the case being referred to as a study, a 37-week-old male neonate was delivered by lower segment cesarean section. The baby's birth weight was 2.760 Kg, and a heterozygous CMP mutation of the CTU2 gene was confirmed through whole-exome sequencing (WES). Unfortunately, there is currently no known cure for DREAM-PL syndrome. Result: Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and providing supportive care. In some cases, surgical correction of birth defects may be beneficial.

Published: June 2024

En este documento revisamos los distintos alfabetos que se han propuesto para la escritura del purhépecha, prestando atención a los puntos en común y las diferencias, con visos a identificar las posibles salidas para encaminarse a la estandarización de las representaciones gráficas. Argumentamos que, en la modernidad que vivimos, dado que la lengua utilizada en la tecnología de uso masivo no es la indígena, ésta se habla cada vez menos y, por tanto, se encuentra en riesgo de abandono. Ante ello, uno de los retos es hacerla escribible para que la comunicación sea extensiva, económica y efectiva, y así, garantizar su uso y permanencia en el tiempo y el espacio. Proponemos concientizar acerca de la importancia de la escritura de la lengua aprovechando circunstancias del contexto sociopolítico y las ventajas que brindan las tecnologías de la información para su enseñanza, difusión y trascendencia.

Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Flores Silva Luis Enrique , Pimienta Rosales Verónica ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: June 2024

The integration of Flipped teaching in language learning seems to be an appealing option to maximize class time and address students’ learning needs and interests. On this premise, an action research study was carried out to explore the influence of Flipped methodology in the development of oral skills. Data obtained from this particular teaching context suggest that students exhibited better score results in oral structure, fluency being the one with the lowest score results. Although the results from the experimental group were not the expected ones, individual score results show that the most motivated students towards Flipped lessons obtained better results in areas corresponding to oral fluency, being that particular area the one identified as the weakest feature prior the study. In addition, daily class observations conducted to identify students´ attitudes and reactions towards Flipped methodology were found to be valuable since they provided information that may be useful to consider before implementing Flipped learning, and hence ensure better practices and results.

The aim of the study is to find a correlation between indicators such as average wages and gross insurance premiums in the life insurance industry. The purposes of the research are: determination of the main determinants that affect the development of the life insurance market over a twenty-year period, search for the main reasons for the low level of life insurance in Ukraine. The methods of research in this publication are the methods of scientific abstraction, induction and deduction for a comprehensive consideration of the reasons for the low level of development of life insurance in Ukraine, individual provisions of the research are supplemented by methods of economic and correlational analysis. It is found that during the period of its formation, the insurance market of Ukraine in the field of life insurance went through several stages of its formation and continues to be formed and improved. It is determined that in 2022, the share of gross life insurance premiums in GDP equaled 0.09%, which is a very low indicator compared to developed foreign markets. This indicates the weak development of this type of insurance due to a number of reasons. A retrospective analysis of scientific publications and research over a twenty-year period showed that one of the reasons for the low level of development of life insurance is the low income of potential customers of the insurance company, which was indicated by a large number of publications. Since the salary is the main type of income of our compatriots, it is assumed that its level affects the volume of gross insurance premiums. To test this hypothesis, a correlation coefficient of 0.965 was defined. This indicates a direct relationship between wages and gross insurance premiums. The correlation coefficient is determined based on statistical information on average wages and gross life insurance premiums over a twenty-year period. Therefore, it can be predicted that the determinant of the growth of the life insurance market will be the increase in wages of potential consumers of insurance services in real terms. Further research in the field of the life insurance market will concern the forecasting of the salary level of potential consumers of insurance services, at which the volumes of life insurance will be growing.

Published: June 2024

Field trials were carried out during the 2023 wet season at the Federal University Dutsin-Ma Teaching and Research Farm and Tambu-Daura to assess the influence of sowing date and weed control methods on growth and yield groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) varieties. The treatments consisted of three groundnut varieties (SAMNUT 24, SAMNUT 26 and KWAN-KWASIYA), four weed control methods (Imazethapyr at 3 and 6WAS, Imazethapyr at 3WAS + 1 hoe weeding at 6WAS, hoe weeding at 3 and 6WAS and Weedy check) and three sowing dates (4th week of June, first week of July and second week of July) and replicated three times.  Split plot design was used to arrange the treatments.  Weed control methods and varieties were allocated to main plots and sowing dates were in sub plots. The study revealed that SAMNUT 24 and SAMNUT 26 were statistically similar in all the sampling stages but produced significantly (P<0.05) higher growth and yield parameters than local variety (KWANKWASIYA) at both locations. The results also indicated that sowing groundnut at the first week of July produced significantly (P<0.05) higher values than other sowing dates in most of the measured parameters. Application of various weed control methods produced significantly higher values than weedy check in all the parameters. Imazethapyr application at 3WAS + 1hoe weeding at 6WAS gave better performance than other weed control methods. In conclusion, SAMNUT 24/26, planting at first week of July and Imazethapyr application @3 + 1 hoe weeding at 6WAS seem to be most appropriate in the study area.

Authors: KPANJA E.J. , KOTSO J.A.
Published: June 2024

The effect of replacing maize with lrish potato peel meal (IPMP) in the diets of weaner rabbits was investigated. Twenty rabbits of mixed sexes with an average initial weight of 766.67 – 783. 33g were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments of 5 rabbits per treatment in a completely randomized design (CRD). Diet 1 was the control and is devoid of IPPM while diets 2, 3 and 4 contained IPPM at 10, 20 and 30% levels, respectively. Feed and water were provided ad–libitum throughout the study period that lasted 56 days. Data were collected on feed intake, weight gain and were used to calculate other growth parameters. Proximate analysis and anti –nutritional factor analysis were carried out. At the end of the trials, two animals from each treatment were slaughtered, dissected, eviscerated and dissembled for carcass evaluation. IPPM had a dry matter content of 88.69%, nitrogen free extract of 87.16% and metabolisable energy of 3401.39 kcal/kg. The content of anti–nutrients are phytate 1.24%, tannins 0.26%, oxalate 0.24% and cyanide 3.40%. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in weight gain, feed intake, feed to gain ratio, feed cost/kg gain and mortality across treatments. Diets 2 and 3 compared favourably with the control. Results of carcass analysis show significant (p<0.05) differences in dressing percentage and percentages of Head, liver, lungs heart, loin, limbs, stomach, small intestines and skin across treatments. Results indicate that sun –dried IPPM can be included up to 20% level in feed thus reducing the cost of rabbit production.

Published: June 2024

Crop recommendation systems play a crucial role in modern agriculture by aiding farmers in making well-informed choices to optimize crop yield and resource utilization. Ensemble learning approaches can significantly improve the effectiveness of crop recommendation systems. To achieve this, multiple forecasts are combined from various models. In this paper, a complete Machine Learning Pipeline is used to evaluate the performance of ensemble learning models in crop recommendation tasks. A diverse dataset is used to select and train four ensemble learning methods, Bagging, Voting, Stacking, and One-Vs-Rest (OVR), as separate classifiers. The dataset includes various agricultural factors such as soil characteristics, meteorological conditions, and past crop productivity. Various metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and support, are utilized for each model. Bagging is considered the most effective ensemble learning technique, demonstrating excellent levels of accuracy and overall performance. The bagging algorithm achieves a high level of accuracy, reaching 99.32%. It also achieves perfect precision, recall, and F1-score metrics, with values of 0.99, 1.00, and 1.00 respectively. The support value, which represents the number of instances used for evaluation, is 141. This study provides valuable perspectives on the choice of appropriate ensemble learning models for crop recommendation tasks. Consequently, it enables farmers and other individuals involved in agriculture to make well-informed choices using data, resulting in enhanced agricultural output and sustainability.

Published: June 2024

The increase in human population which prompted the need for the construction of industries has led to indiscriminate discharge of industrial effluent by these industries into our environment. This discharges most times contain heavy metal which adversely affected the ecosystem. This research evaluates the adsorption behaviour of activated carbon prepared from Hyphaenethebaica nut shells treated with K2CO3 for the treatment of heavy metal contaminated water. The characterization was carried out using FTIR and SEM. The batch adsorption technique was employed and the optimum adsorption was observed at adsorbent dose of 0.6g, initial concentration of 60 ppm, temperature of 60℃. and at contact time of 30 minutes. Optimum adsorption pH for the Heavy Metal adsorption was found to be 2. The adsorption isotherms indicated that the Langmuir isotherm model showed a better correlation (R2 ≥ 0.9) for the Heavy Metals compared to Freundlich and Temkin isotherm model. The Pseudo second order adsorption model best described the adsorption kinetics of the Heavy Metals on the adsorbent. The value for the experimental adsorption capacity for Cu2+, Pb2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ are 3.83, 4.27, 3.92 and 3.15 respectively corresponded to the calculated adsorption capacity for the pseudo-second-order model for the heavy metals Cu2+,Pb2+,Fe2+ and Zn2+  calculated as 3.61, 3.71, 2.99 and 2.13 respectively and  were closer to the experimental adsorption capacity than the calculated adsorption capacity for the pseudo-first-order model. The correlation coefficient, R2 values for the pseudo-second-order adsorption model for the heavy metals Cu2+,Pb2+,Fe2+ and Zn2+ are 0.39, 0.66.0.51 and 0.33 respectively. The ∆H° for the heavy metals Cu2+,Pb2+,Fe2+ and Zn2+ with positive values of 24.99, 25.09,24.53 and 25.00 indicates  that the adsorption was endothermic and and the ∆S for the heavy metals Cu2+,Pb2+,Fe2+ and Zn2+ with values of 79.70, 80.16,78.66 and 79.79   expresses the affinity of the adsorbent for the heavy metal ions in the adsorbate. The negative values of the ∆G° indicated that the adsorption of heavy metal is spontaneous at the temperature under investigation. Thus, activated carbon from K2CO3 treated Hyphaenethebaica nut shells could therefore be used effectively for the remediation of heavy metals from industrial waste water

Green technology through the implementation of hydroponic-based urban farming as an icon for the Surya Timur sub-district in the Kepulauan Bangka Belitung Province can become a brand awareness activity in order to promote and increase competitiveness so that it becomes a productive area after massive tin mining activities in the area. This activity began with coordination with the Village Head and Chair of the Surya Timur’s PKK in order to ensure readiness to implement the program as driving cadres. Apart from that, this activity involves hydroponic practitioners as assistants in managing hydroponic activities which include sowing, planting, caring for, and harvesting hydroponic commodities. It is hoped that optimizing the sub-district website can become an effective promotional medium in documenting these activities so that they can become a superior profile and be widely known by the public. This is expected to increase the opportunity to obtain competitive grants that can be used to improve the infrastructure of this area to become more productive and free from dependence on tin mining activities which have the potential to damage the area in the future.

Kelurahan Lubuk Kelik is one of the new sub-districts which is the result of the expansion of Kelurahan Parit Padang in Province of Kepulauan Bangka Belitung, the majority of which is a post-tin mining area and conservation forest area. The issue of waste is the main environmental problem faced. Along the Lubuk Kelik road, which stretches for 12 km, there are at least 10-15 illegal waste dumping points located along the road in the oil palm plantation area and residents' land. The Various efforts to educate awareness of waste management was done but that does not cause environmental problems, including throwing rubbish in its place or making recycled crafts using plastic waste. The low direct impact felt sometimes makes this education less effective, especially as handicraft products based on recycled plastic waste are less popular with the market due to the lack of innovation and creativity. The training to empower PKK and housewives through the application of hydroponic technology using plastic bottle waste is expected to be an alternative solution to the household scale plastic bottle waste problem in the Kelurahan Lubuk Kelik. This activity is an effort to handle plastic bottle waste through a recycling use method based on community empowerment, especially housewives in terms of meeting their daily need for vegetables. This was chosen because vegetables are a basic need for society and are now quite expensive. Apart from that, hydroponic technology is more efficient than conventional vegetable plantations because it does not depend on soil fertility and land area and is free of pesticides. Apart from fulfilling daily needs, it is hoped that the community will be able to develop vegetables into superior commodities as additional income for the community.

Minum merupakan proses manusia memenuhi kebutuhan tubuh dalam hal cairan karena 70% tubuh manusia terdiri dari kandungan air. Kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahui jumlah air yang harus diminum dalam sehari sesuai dengan umur dan berat badan atau sesuai dengan jumlah yang dianjurkan untuk kesehatan tubuh manusia. Oleh karena itu, pembuatan sebuah alat untuk membantu manusia dalam mengatur pola minum yang tergantung dengan aktivitas dan fisik manusia tersebut sangat perlu dilakukan sehingga alat tersebut dapat membantu manusia dalam mengetahui jumlah cairan yang diperlukan serta untuk mencegah penyakit terutama dehidrasi akibat kurangnya minum air. Hal ini memberi gambaran bagi penulis untuk membuat sebuah teko minum cerdas yang dapat membantu kesehatan manusia. Teko minum ini akan terintegrasi dengan perangkat elektronik dengan beberapa sensor sebagai pengukurnya. Seperti sensor pH untuk mengukur pH air karena memengaruhi kesehatan manusia, sensor ultrasonik untuk mengukur jumlah air yang telah diminum oleh manusia, dengan mikrokontroler untuk mengatur pola minum dan mengukur kebutuhan cairan yang dibutuhkan oleh manusia secara spesifik. Banyak di pasaran produk teko air minum cerdas atau smart water jug, tetapi hanya sebatas menghitung mundur pola minum dan kapasitas air di dalam wadah. Teko air minum cerdas yang di bangun merupakan sebuah terobosan pengaturan kebutuhan cairan seseorang dengan postur fisik dan aktivitas yang spesifik serta pengaturan secara otomatis kadar cairan dalam tubuhnya dan diharapkan dapat menjaga kesehatan tubuh dalam mengatasi kekurangan cairan serta mencegah dehidrasi dan mungkin penyakit ginjal akibat sering kurangnya minum air

While UV light has benefits for life, excessive exposure to UV light also has negative effects on humans. Examples of the negative effects of UV exposure include cancer. Therefore, the exploration for materials that can be used as anti-UV continues to grow. One of them is extract from Leucaena leucocephala leaves. To study the potential of a compound as anti-UV, one method can use a molecular modeling approach using the semi-empirical method. Based on this, 8 flavone-derived compounds contained in L. leucocephala leaf extract were modeled with a semi-empirical approach using the PM3 method, and electronic-transition was calculated using ZINDO/S. The geometry optimization results showed that the bond length between carbon atoms in flavonoid tururnans did not change significantly with the difference in functional groups. However, there is a significant difference in the dihedral angle of the compound due to the repulsion of functional groups. The results of the electronic transition calculation showed that all flavonoid derivatives 1-8 are active in the UV A, UV B, and UV C regions. So it can be said that flavones 1-8 have potential as anti-UV. In addition, the energy level of HOMO-LUMO compounds was also calculated. Flavonoid 1 has the smallest Eg while flavonoid 8 has the largest Eg

Mathematics anxiety is a feeling of pressure and nervousness that interferes with manipulating numbers and solving mathematical problems, both in everyday life and in the learning process. This study aims to describe the level of student anxiety in learning mathematics based on problem based learning at SMP Negeri 3 Jambi City. The subjects of this study were students of class VIII SMP Negeri 3 Jambi City, consisting of 4 classes. Each class is taken by 10 student representatives based on the 5 highest knowledge and 5 lowest knowledge. The data collection technique is by distributing questionnaires to all students who have been selected as many as 40 students. Researchers distributed questionnaires to get results/data on anxiety levels of SMP Negeri 3 Jambi City students. The researcher also conducted interviews with 8 student representatives to strengthen the research data. The results of this study indicate that the highest aspect of the student anxiety variable is the "fear" aspect which has an average of 1.54 (medium). Overall, the results of the anxiety level of students in SMP Negeri 3 Jambi City class VIII belong to the category of mild anxiety level with an average value percentage of 1.25 indicating that the level of anxiety of students in learning mathematics is mild anxiety. Anxiety is one of the reasons why proper interpersonal relationships are so important in understanding mathematics. This is because anxiety itself can increase, is subjective, and can make it difficult for students to understand. Students are still carried away by their unpleasant past experiences related to mathematics. Usually students who are more anxious will try harder, but their understanding will deteriorate further, making them even more anxious. Therefore, students will learn partially, this will form students' interpersonal experiences. Students who feel less anxious in learning mathematics because the student knows that he is able to solve problems in learning mathematics, then he will be able to use his anxiety in solving the problem.
