This paper reports the effect of slag (SL) replacement and water-to-binder (w/b) ratio on properties of one-part geopolymer derived from high-calcium fly ash (FA) and sodium silicate powder (NP). The FA was replaced by SL at the rates of 20% and 40%, respectively. This study focused on conducting experimental tests to evaluate the relative slump, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural strength of one-part FA-based geopolymer. The relationship between compressive and flexural strengths of one-part geopolymer mortar was expressed using the simplified linear regression model, whereas the normalization of compressive and flexural strengths with SL replacement by the strength of one-part geopolymer mortar without SL as the divisor was also evaluated. Experimental results showed that the increase of SL replacement and w/b ratio significantly affected the workability and strength development of one-part geopolymer mortar. Higher SL replacement exhibited a positive effect on their compressive and flexural strengths; however, a reduction in its setting time was obtained. The enhancement in strength development of one-part geopolymer was primarily due to the increased calcium content of SL. Similarly, reducing the w/b ratio in the production of one-part geopolymer resulted in a decrease in setting time and an increase in strength development. Based on the relationship between compressive and flexural strengths, the prediction coefficient value (R2) obtained from the curve fitting procedure was 0.835, indicating a good level of reliability and acceptability for engineering applications. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2024-010-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a product consisting of four bacteriophages infecting Salmonella enterica ser. Gallinarum B/00111, intended for be as a zootechnical additive (functional group: other zootechnical additives) for all poultry species. Bafasal® is proposed for use in water for drinking and liquid complementary feed to guarantee a minimum daily dose of 2 × 106 PFU/bird, to reduce the Salmonella spp. contamination of poultry carcasses and load in the environment, and to improve the zootechnical performance of the treated animals. In previous opinions, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that Bafasal® is safe for the target species, consumers and the environment and is not a skin or eye irritant but should be considered a respiratory sensitiser. No conclusion could be drawn on its dermal sensitisation potential. The additive showed the potential to decrease the counts of two Salmonella Enteritidis strains in boots swabs and caecal digesta of chickens for fattening. However, the Panel was not in the position to conclude on the capacity of Bafasal® to improve the zootechnical performance of poultry, to reduce the contamination of other Salmonella enterica strains, serovars or other Salmonella spp. in chickens, or to reduce the Salmonella spp. contamination of poultry other than chickens. In the current application, the claim on zootechnical performance has been withdrawn. Bafasal® is not a skin or eye irritant but should be considered a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser and inhalation and dermal exposure is considered a risk. Based on the new data provided, the Panel concluded that Bafasal® has the potential to reduce the environmental contamination with S. Enteritidis when used in feed and water for all poultry species. No conclusions could be drawn on the effects of the additive on other Salmonella serotypes.

Published: December 2024

Female infertility is a health and social problem that traditional health practitioners (THPs) have been managing in African communities. This study explored the experiences of THPs in the management of female infertility, specifically focusing on their understanding, diagnosis, and treatment methods for female infertility. This was a qualitative study targeting six THPs in Harare urban areas registered with the Traditional Medical Practitioners Council (TMPC) in Zimbabwe. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines were followed in the description of the study design, analysis and presentation of findings. The findings revealed that the etiology of female infertility was attributed to biomedical, lifestyle, spiritual, and male factors. Management of infertility depended on the type of THP. Spirit mediums relied on divination and dreams to diagnose and treat female infertility. Herbalists focused on the physical evidence provided by the client through history taking. THPs had a client referral system within their TMPC network. All THPs ultimately used medicinal plants for treating female infertility. THPs play an important role in the management of female infertility. Understanding their contributions to the management of female infertility provides an opportunity to obtain insight into their practices, thus identifying areas that responsible Ministries can use to strengthen traditional health care systems and ultimately improve reproductive health care for women in African communities.

Pregnancy is a state of happiness and hope not only for a woman but for her family as well as near and dear ones. However, this phase of happiness comes shattering down for some couple who are not able to successfully complete pregnancy and end up losing a baby in the early stages of pregnancy. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is prevalent among Omani women and the psychosocial impact of RPL is heavy upon these young women devastating their overall quality of life. Researchers conducted a cross sectional survey among 184 Omani women who had a history of recurrent pregnancy loss in a pioneering teaching tertiary care hospital. Data collection done from using a self-reported questionnaire to assess the depression, anxiety and RPL associated stress of women with history of RPL The mean age of women with RPL was 34.05 and 81% reported 2-3 pregnancy loss. Participants reported higher mean scores of depression (9.94), Anxiety (10.32) and fertility related stress (30.28). Women with multiple pregnancy losses (above 3) reported higher level of anxiety which was significant at (p<0.05%) The findings from current study also indicated that women with RPL experience higher levels of depression, anxiety, and fertility related stress

Authors: Sangra Seema , Sharma Lokesh
Published: December 2024

In India's diverse socio-economic and cultural landscape, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in contributing to the social, cultural, economic, and environmental challenges, serving as a facilitator between government and the people in need. As social media is an emerging essential tool for organisational communication, Indian NGOs face significant challenges in effectively adapting and utilizing social media. There are various reasons but the most challenging is the lack of trained social media professionals in the Indian NGO sector. This research examines the training needs of Indian NGO professionals in adapting and utilizing social media to achieve their communication objectives. The research aims to address the gap between current social media potentialities and the skills required to attain key performance indicators (KPIs) including reach, engagement, click-through rates, follower growth, social mentions, conversion rates, lead generation, and stakeholder feedback. Through a survey method applying quantitative surveys of 154 working Indian NGO representatives across India, the study assesses current training levels and identifies specific areas requiring intervention. The study also employs stakeholder theory as a theoretical framework to explore the training and development needs of NGO professionals. This research aims to develop an evidence-based paradigm for social media training aimed at enhancing NGO professional's digital and social media capabilities. This study has the potential to strengthen the Indian NGO sector's digital expertise from strengthening stakeholder communication to fund-raising, and social impact.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Jee YoungMyong
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to derive pedagogical implications for teaching informal statistical inference by exploring students' methods and levels of comparative inferential reasoning when they deal with tasks comparing two samples using box plots. To achieve this, two tasks comparing two samples using box plots were developed based on a literature review of informal statistical inference. In a realistic context, 38 high school students enrolled in a Practical Statistics course were selected as participants, and data were collected through surveys and interviews. The analysis revealed that response level 2 for informal statistical inference was the most frequently observed among participants across both tasks. The most common response type for informal statistical inference was LI21 in both tasks. A comparison of participants' levels of informal statistical inference across the two tasks showed that the average level for Task 1 was significantly higher than for Task 2. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation between the levels of informal statistical inference for the two tasks was identified. Based on these findings, this paper discusses and proposes pedagogical implications and recommendations for teaching informal statistical inference using box plots.

Still medalling: Productivity gets a bronze (data source)
Authors:   Motu Economic and Public Policy Research, Fabling Richard
Published: December 2024

Productivity data is missing from the Longitudinal Business Database (LBD) for over a third of firm-year observations in “measured sector” industries, equating to a fifth of total labour in those industries. We develop a method to fill these data gaps using an additional (third) data source – firm-level annualised goods and services tax (GST) returns. Coupled with additional modelling using full-coverage employment information, the resulting “complete” productivity dataset provides additional avenues for researchers to test the robustness of their results to the inclusion of firm types previously underrepresented in the productivity data – particularly new and owner-operated firms.

Background: High blood pressure and dyslipidemia are risk factors that begin silently and share many pathophysiological mechanisms of tissue damage.
Aim: Draw attention to this binomial (Hypertension and dyslipidemia) that is highly prevalent in Mexico and is mainly responsible for the leading atherothrombotic process as a cause of death in Mexico and the world.
Methods: Reflective analysis of the evidence accumulated in the last 20 years. We launch key messages and support why every hypertensive patient should be treated with a statin.
Results: We call for awareness to measure lipid levels and blood pressure twice a year from the age of 20 and to detect these devastating nosological entities as soon as possible. We remove the myth that PCSK9 inhibitors as well as the small interfering RNA of its synthesis are only for familial dyslipidemia. Measurement of serum Lp(a) should be routine, especially if you have a history of your own and family cardiovascular events.
Conclusion: We should be aware of the little impact that health strategies have had to stop the main cause of death in Mexico. Every hypertensive patient should receive a statin, even if their serum LDLc levels are apparently normal. The great challenge of optimal control of the population with hypertension and/or dyslipidemia continues. The small interfering RNA synthesis PCSK9 should also be considered when conventional therapies are not sufficient and this situation is not infrequent.

Published: December 2024

Aim and objective: The current study aims to explore the effectiveness of food dyes as potential agents for the formation of latent fingerprints on non-porous substrates.
Introduction: The development of fingerprints is a long-established forensic technique crucial for identifying perpetrators. Traditional methods often use various powders to reveal latent fingerprints on different surfaces, but these methods can be costly and pose health risks when exposed to humans. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for alternative techniques that are cost-effective while still providing high-resolution fingerprint visibility.
Materials and methods: In this study, Colormist Super whip food powder red, blue, orange, turquoise, and pink was used for the Development of Latent fingerprints on different non-porous surfaces (CD, Mobile screen, Glass bottle, Mirror, Steel bottle).
Results: The ColorMist Super Whip edible powders proved successful in developing high-quality finger marks with visible level 1 and level 2 fingerprint details across all substrates, showcasing its effectiveness in latent fingerprint enhancement.
Conclusion: Food dyes provide a simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method for developing latent fingerprints on nonporous surfaces. Red and black dyes consistently deliver clear ridge detail, while turquoise performs well on glass. Surface type plays a crucial role in dye effectiveness; making food dyes a practical, non-invasive alternative for on-site forensic use.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: In the literature, the effectiveness of the extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in patients with heel spur was confirmed, but the therapy protocol has not been established when used as monotherapy. The aim of the study was to verify whether the frequency of ESWT and the number of sessions used as monotherapy in patients with heel spur have an impact on the final result of the therapy. Methods: 85 patients were divided into three subgroups. All patients were treated 5 times with different intervals between ESWT sessions, in the group I, ESWT was ad-ministered every day, in group II every other day and in the group III once a week. Results: Before starting therapy, pain level in VAS in subgroups I, II and III was 6, 7 and 9, respectively. After two weeks, the pain level was equal 4 in all subgroups. In this time, the subgroup I was one week after completing therapy, subgroup II was just after completing therapy and subgroup III after 2 out of 5 treatments. Finally, after 8 weeks, when all subgroups terminated therapy, VAS was in the range 2–3. When comparing the subgroups, with the numbers available no significant difference could be detected. Conclusion: Received results proved the effectiveness of ESWT used as monotherapy in patients with heel spur. The length of the intervals between subsequent ESWT sessions did not have a statistically significant impact on the final result of the therapy, which was at a similar level in all subgroups.

Authors: Sun Guodong , Ahmad Norhakimah Khaiessa , Nawi Nur Raihan Che
Published: December 2024

Duetotheunsatisfied IELTS writing scores in the past decade, previous studies investigated the problems and solutions from lexical, syntactic, and task analysis perspectives. However, they ignored the influence of coherence and cohesion on the overall performance of IELTSAcademic Writing Task 2. Hence, the research conducted a qualitative descriptive study to writing cohesion and coherence of 15 practice essays of Chinese undergraduates under theme types and thematic progression of Functional Grammar. It initially analyzed the distributing features of themes and thematic progression patterns. It further adopted theme- and thematic progression-based writing rubrics to evaluate the coherence and cohesion of IELTS writing essays separately. The research findings showed that as the writing level of learners rose, dominant topical themes and constant thematic progression decreased, whereas textual themes and simple linear progression following them increased. They also revealed that learners achieved a higher cohesion in conjunctions and reiterations than in references and presented higher coherence in body parts than in introductions and conclusions. These results suggest that theme types and thematic progressions effectively reflect and evaluate coherent and cohesive performance in IELTS writing.

Rûhların yaratılmasından itibaren insanın serüvenini ney metaforu üzerinden anlatmaya başlayan Hz. Mevlâna, Mesnevî’nin ilk beytinden son beytine kadar “insan nedir, nasıl yaşamalıdır, nereden gelir, nereye gider?” vb. soruların cevabını vererek bu müstesna varlığın mahiyetini ortaya koyar.
Hz. Mevlânâ’ya göre, Allah’ın bezm-i elestteki hitabına rûhların verdikleri cevap bir ahdin başlangıcıdır. Allah’a âşık olan rûhların beden giydirilerek bu cismâniyet âlemine gönderilmesi, ahitlerine sâdık kalanlarla ihanet edenlerin ayırt edileceği bir imtihan sürecini ifade eder. Bu nedenle hayatın gayesi; âlemdeki sırları ve hikmetleri müşahede etmek, dünyanın cazibesine kapılmadan manâ âleminde yükselmeye çalışmak ve en sonunda Allah’ın rızası dairesinde yaşamaktır.
İnsanlara bu zorlu süreçte örneklik teşkil eden başta Peygamber Efendimiz olmak üzere birçok peygamber ve Allah dostu cismâniyet âleminin süfliyetine kananlar tarafından zalimane muameleye tabi tutulmuşlar, nice kanlı yollardan geçmek zorunda kalmışlardır.
Hz. Mevlânâ, çalışmamızın konusu olan Mesnevî’nin 13. beytinde ney diliyle bir yandan rûhun tekâmülü sürecinde yaşadıklarına atıf yaparken diğer yandan da kemâle ermiş insanın (insan-ı kâmil) karşılaştıkları zorlukları anlatır.

Published: December 2024

Türk İslam medeniyetinin inşasında çok önemli bir yere sahip olan Mevlânâ ve onun Mesnevî’si yüzyıllar boyunca Türk toplumunun gönül dünyasını şekillendirmiştir. Mesnevî yazıldığı tarihten günümüze kadar oldukça geniş bir coğrafyada çok farklı halk kitleleri tarafından okunmuş, dinlenmiş, anlatılmış ve açıklanmıştır. Mesnevî, kolay anlaşılması amacıyla basit kurgulu hikâyelerle örülmüş bir metin olmasına rağmen Türk edebiyatında en çok şerh edilen eser konumundadır. Eserin tamamına ya da bir kısmına, manzum ya da mensur olarak toplam kırk altı şerh yapılmıştır. Çoğu aynı tasavvufi düşünce sistemine mensup olan şarihler, metni yorumlarken kendilerinden önceki şarihlerden değişen oranlarda yararlanmakla birlikte, metafizik âleme dair kendi içsel/ruhsal keşiflerini de yorumlarına yansıtmışlardır. Mevlânâ’nın Mesnevî’sinin ilk on sekiz beytine odaklanan bütünlüklü bir çalışmanın parçası durumundaki bu makalede eserin sekizinci beyti üzerinde durulacaktır. Söz konusu beyit, insanın maddi varlığı olan “ten” ile manevi benliğine karşılık gelen “ruh” arasındaki ilişkiyi konu almaktadır. Mevlânâ bu beyitte, ten ve ruh birbirine gizli olmadığı hâlde kimsenin ruhu görme izni olmadığını söylemektedir. Bu çalışmada bir literatür değerlendirmesi mahiyetinde mevcut şerhler de göz önünde bulundurularak beyit yorumlanmaya çalışılacaktır.

Sexual violence, especially against women and children, is a serious problem in Indonesia. Cases are increasing every year, including incest, which involves sexual relations between close family members. Girls, who are often considered weak and vulnerable, are the main victims. The latest data from the National Commission on Violence Against Women records a decrease in incest cases from 1,210 in 2017 to 215 in 2020. However, attention is still needed, especially because biological fathers are the largest perpetrators. This research uses the Naïve Bayes algorithm for sentiment analysis. This algorithm is an effective classification method based on Bayes' theorem with simple assumptions but is quite effective. Assuming that each feature in the data is independent, Naïve Bayes can work well in text analysis. The research results showed an accuracy rate of 94%. Continued attention to sexual violence, especially incest, is needed to protect vulnerable girls. Protection efforts must continue to be improved, including the application of sentiment analysis methods such as Naïve Bayes for monitoring and early detection. Public awareness and cross-sector cooperation are also key in overcoming this phenomenon.
