Chromoblastomycosis
Authors: Baveja Puneet , Walia Gurpreet Kaur , Paliwal Gourang , Rajkamal Tankala
Published: April 2021

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by one of several dematiaceous (naturally pigmented) fungi. Predominantly, an infection of the humid tropical and subtropical regions, chromoblastomycosis does occur in India, and its diagnosis is usually delayed due to the low level of clinical suspicion. Here, we present the case of a 65-year-old male who presented with gradually progressive raised lesions over the right thigh of 8 years' duration with a history of sustaining injury through horse tail. Dermatological examination revealed a well-defined, erythematous, verrucous plaque on the lower third of the right thigh and knee with ill-defined advancing margins. Histopathological examination of skin biopsy and potassium hydroxide preparation of material scraped from the surface of lesions showed characteristic “sclerotic bodies” of chromoblastomycosis, and the patient was started on anti-fungal drugs to which he responded very well with regression of most of his lesion.
Geodesic interpolation on Sierpiński gaskets
Authors: Davis Caitlin M. , LeGare Laura A. , McCartan Cory W. , Rogers Luke G.
Published: April 2021

We study the analogue of a convex interpolant of two sets on Sierpiński gaskets and an associated notion of measure transport. The structure of a natural family of interpolating measures is described and an interpolation inequality is established. A key tool is a good description of geodesics on these gaskets, some results on which have previously appeared in the literature [19, 17, 16, 11].
Computation of sharp estimates of the Poincaré constant on planar domains with piecewise self-similar boundary
Authors: Banjai Lehel , Boulton Lyonell
Published: April 2021

We establish a strategy for finding sharp upper and lower numerical bounds of the Poincaré constant on a class of planar domains with piecewise self-similar boundary. The approach consists of four main components: W1) tight inner-outer shape interpolation, W2) conformal mapping of the approximate polygonal regions, W3) grad-div system formulation of the spectral problem and W4) computation of the eigenvalue bounds. After describing the method, justifying its validity and determining general convergence estimates, we show concrete evidence of its effectiveness by computing lower and upper bound estimates for the constant on the Koch snowflake.
Intermediate Assouad-like dimensions
Authors: García Ignacio , Hare Kathryn E. , Mendivil Franklin
Published: April 2021

We study a class of bi-Lipschitz-invariant dimensions that range between the box and Assouad dimensions. The quasi-Assouad dimensions and

\theta

-Assouad spectrum are other special examples. These dimensions are localized, like Assouad dimensions, but vary in the depth of scale which is considered, thus they provide very refined geometric information. Our main focus is on the intermediate dimensions which range between the quasi-Assouad and Assouad dimensions, complementing the

\theta

-Assouad spectrum which ranges between the box and quasi-Assouad dimensions. We investigate the relationship between these and the familiar dimensions. We construct a Cantor set with a non-trivial interval of dimensions, the endpoints of this interval being given by the quasi-Assouad and Assouad dimensions of the set. We study stability and continuity-like properties of the dimensions. In contrast with the Assouad-type dimensions, we see that decreasing sets in

\mathbb{R}

with decreasing gaps need not have dimension 0 or 1. As is the case for Hausdorff and Assouad dimensions, the Cantor set and the decreasing set have the extreme dimensions among all compact sets in

\mathbb{R}

whose complementary set consists of open intervals of the same lengths.
The Perception of Rural Households on Climate Change Effect on Rural Livelihoods in Lake Victoria Basin
Authors: Wabwire Evans Odhiambo , Mukhovi Stellah , Nyandega Isaiah Ang’iro
Published: April 2021

While the science of climate change is well investigated across most disciplines, people’s perception of climate change effects has not been well addressed. This paper sought to address the question of climate change perception and the effect of climate change on rural household livelihoods within the Lake Victoria Basin of Kenya. The study relied on households’ perception on the effect of climate change on the areas of agriculture, and food security, water, and energy supply. Multistage sampling was applied to select 539 households from four eco-ecological zones.  The study revealed that most households presented localized explanations of climate change, which included: frequent and prolonged droughts, variations in rainfall onset and cessation, increased temperatures, an increased strong wind episode. Some households perceived climate changes effects resulted into a decrease in crop yield, resulting in increased household food insecurity, while some perceived water stress at household level, but mainly for those who relied on surface water, well water, borehole, and the natural spring. In addition, some of the households perceived shortage in energy sources, particularly hydroelectric power was said to be sensitive to the changes in climate. These perceptions were based on households’ experiences, and partially the results were found to be consistent with physical science of climate change. The paper therefore recommends the need to harmonise household perception with the climate change policy in order to address emerging challenges of climate change at the local level, create more climate change awareness supported through a comprehensive climate change action plan on country’s preparedness of extreme climate events at household level.

Composition of planktonic organisms and its associated physico-chemical parameters in two ponds at African regional aquaculture centre (ARAC) Aluu, Port Harcourt
Authors: Woke GN , Aleleye-Wokoma IP
Published: April 2021

Composition of plankton communities in two ponds at African Regional Agriculture Centre (ARAC) Aluu, Port Harcourt was undertaken between May and June 2004, to assess the composition, relative abundance and distribution of plankton. The diversity of plankton was poor. Twenty-eight taxa representing four (4) families were recorded for phytoplankton while seventeen taxa representing four families were identified for zooplankton. Chlorophyta and Cladocera were the most dominant classes in phytoplankton and zooplankton in terms of abundance, constitute 13.0% and 17.1% respectively. The water quality of the ponds is evident by high temperature (28.80C), depth (57.5cm), transparency (42), dissolved oxygen (4.9mg/l) and low BOD of (1.4mg/l). The lower density of organisms could be partly attributed due to heavy rainfall which destabilize the surface water and substrate. Hence, extensive studies of the ponds where aquatic organisms are kept should be carried out to maintain proper utilization of ponds.KEYWORDS: Plankton, composition, communities richness, abundance.
Production of ugba cubes from fermented pentaclethramacrophylla seeds
Authors: Okoro C.U , Emefieh C.V
Published: April 2021

This research was designed as an innovation in the use of ugba as a food condiment. Production of “ugba” cubes from fermented seeds of Pentaclethramacrophylla (“ugba”) was successfully carried out. Ugba seeds were dehulled after soaking overnight in warm water and shredded. Fermentation of the shredded “ugba” seeds was done using Bacillus subtilis pure culturedisolated from already fermented “ugba”. Initial microbial study of the unfermented “ugba” showed the presence of Bacillus, Enterobacter, Penicillium, Aspergillus and yeast species. The initial bacterial count of the unfermented seed was 1.4 x 105cfu/g. Microbial counts of the “ugba” seeds after three days fermentation showed a disappearance of other microbial species except Bacillus species which was up to 9.60 x 104cfu/g. The shredded and fermented ugbaseeds were later milled and formed into cubes in a mould and oven dried.Sodium benzoate was used as a preservative. There was a drastic reduction of microbial count from 9.60 x 104cfu/g to 4.80 x 104cfu/g in “ugba” cubes preserved with sodium benzoate. Proximate composition of the “ugba” cubes showed increased levels of carbohydrates, ash and fibre content and a reduction in moisture protein and fats. Toxicological analysis of Bacillus fermented ugba presented low levels of hydrocyanic acid and soluble oxalates when compared with the unfermented sample. An overall acceptability of the ugba cubes was rated very highly when sensory evaluation was tested. This study recommends the use of Bacillus subtilis fermented nutritionally rich ugba cubes as a new innovation that will promote its acceptability worldwide.Keywords: Ugba, fermentation, Bacillus subtilis, sodium benzoate

Published: April 2021

The effect of ethanolic extracts of Persea americana seed and Zea mays silk on blood glucose levels, body and organ weights of alloxan- induced hyperglycemic Wistar rats was investigated using standard analytical techniques. Thirty male albino rats weighing 120-161g were randomly assigned to six groups of five rats each. Groups 3- 6 were test groups which received 400 mg/kg body weight Persea americana seed single extract, 400 mg/kg body weight Zea mays silk single extract, 400 mg/kg body weight combined extract of Persea americana seed and Zea mays silk and 500 mg/kg body weight combined extract of Persea americana seed and Zea mays silk repectively. Group 1 and 2 served as normal and diabetic controls respectively. Diabetes was induced using 170mg/kg body weight alloxan monohydrate. All the rats received their normal diet and distilled water daily for a period of 28 days. At the end of the experiment, the groups administered 400 mg/kg body weight Zea mays silk single extract and 400 mg/kg body weight combined extract of Persea americana seed and Zea mays silk showed significant (P< 0.05) decrease in fasting blood glucose when compared with the diabetic control. The highest body weight change was observed in the high dose combined extract group followed by the Zea mays silk single extract group. Apart from the kidney and spleen weights, which were significantly reduced in the Zea mays single extract group, there was no significant difference (P> 0.05) in organ weights of the experimental groups compared with the diabetic and normal controls. Persea americana seed increased body and organ weights of experimental animals whereas Zea mays silk decreased same. It may therefore be concluded that Persea americana seed and Zea mays silk are probable hypoglycemic agents.Keywords: Persea americana seed, Zea mays silk, glucose, body weight, organ weight
Multiple Linear Regression Model for Estimating the Price of a Housing Unit
Authors: Boye P. , Mireku-Gyimah D. , Okpoti C. A.
Published: April 2021

This paper uses the respective unit costs, over fifteen (15) years, of selected Housing Unit Major Components (HUMC): cement, iron rods, aluzinc roofing sheets, coral paint, wood and sand, to develop Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLRM) for determining Housing Unit Price (HUP) for one-bedroom and two-bedroom housing units. In the modeling, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) normality assumption which could introduce errors in the statistical analyses was dealt with by log transformation of the data, ensuring the data is normally distributed and there is no correlation between them. Minimisation of Sum of Squares Error method was used to derive the model coefficients. The resultant MLRM is:  Ŷi MLRM = (X'X)-1 X'Y(xi') where X is the sample data matrix. The specific model for one-bedroom housing unit is loge (HUPMLRM)1-Bed = 1.017 – 2.225 x 10-5 x CC + 2.512 x 10-6 x CS + 6.016 x 10-4 x CIR  +  1.985 x  10-4 x CR + 5.694 x 10-4 x CP -7.437 x 10-4 x CW and that for two-bedroom housing unit is loge (HUPMLRM)2-Bed = 5.760 – 7.501 x 10-7 x CC + 2.935 x 10-6 x CS + 1.898 x 10-3 x CIR  +  6.695 x 10-4 x CR - 9.157 x 10-3 x CP +6.136 x 10-3 x CW, where CC, CS, CIR, CR, CP and CW are costs of the total quantity of cement, sand, iron rods, roofing, paint and wood respectively. The MLRM was validated by using it to estimate the known HUP in the 15.5th year. From the results, the percentage absolute deviations of the estimated HUP from the known HUP are 1.27% and 2.02% for one-bedroom and two-bedroom housing units respectively, which are satisfactory. The novel approach presented in this paper is a valuable contribution to the body of knowledge in modeling. Keywords: Multiple Regression Analysis, Housing Unit Major Components, Housing Unit Price
Comparative Study of Mathematical Models for Ghana’s Gold Production
Authors: Appiah S. T. , Buabeng Albert , Odoi B.
Published: April 2021

Sigmoid functions were used to approximate the cumulative gold production in Ghana. The functions examined were the logistic, Gompertz, Gaussian, Probit and the Hill, which were then used to predict into the future. Although all the five approximated models gave a good estimation of the reality, the Gompertz function was identified to give the best approximation of the observed trend of gold production in Ghana. The model was selected based on its high proportion of variance explained (R2 = 0.9402) as well as having the least value in terms of error (RMSE) and information loss (AIC). The model suggested that gold production could escalate to a level of 7040813 Oz in the future. It also showed that, industrial scale production of gold should be possible even after the year 2050 provided the current upward trend of gold production in Ghana continues. Keywords: Sigmoid, Logistic, Gompertz, Gaussian, Probit, Hill, Gold
Gold in Plant: A Biogeochemical Approach in Detecting Gold Anomalies Undercover- A Case Study at Pelangio Gold Project at Mamfo Area of Brong Ahafo, Ghana
Authors: Arhin Emmanuel , Torkornoo Samuel , Zango Musah Saeed , Kazapoe Raymond Webrah
Published: April 2021

Many plants have the ability to take up gold from soils and accumulate them in their tissues. Their concentrations and distributions reflect the nearby gold deposits masked by complex regolith. The 50 vegetation samples collected at Pelangio Tepa concession recorded low and subtle gold (Au) concentrations of 0.2 to 10.4 ppb at Pokukrom target, 0.3 to 28.3 ppb at Nfante East target and 0.1 to 1.7 ppb at Subriso target. Each target area had different concentration populations enough to distinguish the anomalous areas from the background contrary to Au-geochemical expressions derived from the gold in soils. So many uncertainties were placed on the soil-Au-geochemistry because the defined anomalies were not strong and generally appear patchy, weak and subtle that led to the assumption of no associated bedrock mineralisation. The gold in plant samples confirmed the Pokukrom anomaly that has been drilled and known to relate to underlying mineralisation. Much better and robust anomaly was defined by the biogeochemical Au data in plants sampled and analysed for Au at Nfante East target and isolated high patchy anomalies were identified at Subriso area. The case study at Pelangio Mamfo project reveals and recommends the significant application of biogeochemistry in mineral exploration particularly in the field of gold prospecting at the regional exploration stage and endorses it as being practically feasible in regolith-dominated terrains where regolith-landform modifications may impact on the true geochemistry in anomaly delineation. Keywords: Biogeochemistry, Regolith-Dominated-Terrain, Plant, Gold, Pelangio
Multivariate Analysis of the Effect of Climate Conditions on Gold Production in Ghana
Authors: Takyi Appiah Sampson , Buabeng Albert , Dumakor-Dupey N. K.
Published: April 2021

The change in climatic conditions and its catastrophic effect on mining activities has become a source of worry for mining industries and therefore needs due attention. This study examined the effect some climate factors have on gold production in Ghana. First, a direct Multiple Linear Regression was applied on the climate factors with the aim of determining the relative effect of each factor on gold production which exhibited a time series structure. The consequence is that, the estimates of the coefficients and their standard errors will be wrongly estimated if the time series structure of the errors is ignored. In order to eliminate these deficiencies and better understand the effect of these climate factors on gold production, regression with ARIMA errors technique was employed after its appropriateness has been tested. The model was then compared in terms of prediction accuracy which resulted a MAPE of 9.78%. It was concluded that, gold production in Ghana is positively related to Temperature whilst negatively to Rainfall and Precipitate. It was recommended that mine operators in Ghana could base on this analysis to optimise their production planning and scheduling. Keywords: Gold Production, Climate, Multicollinearity, VIF, Regression Models with ARIMA Errors
Toward Consensus in Assessing Upper Limb Muscle Strength and Pinch and Grip Strength in People With Tetraplegia Having Upper Limb Reconstructions
Authors: Dunn Jennifer A. , Koch-Borner Sabrina , Johanson M. Elise , Wangdell Johanna
Published: April 2021

Objectives:

To reach agreement on standardized protocols for assessing upper limb strength and grip and pinch force for upper limb reconstructive surgery for tetraplegia.

Methods:

Selected members of an expert panel composed of international therapists formed at the 2018 International Congress for Upper Limb Surgery for Tetraplegia conducted a literature review of current practice that identified gaps and inconsistencies in measurement protocols and presented to workshop attendees. To resolve discrepancies, a set of questions was presented to workshop attendees who voted electronically. Consensus was set at 75% agreement.

Results:

For manual muscle testing, consensus was reached for using the Medical Research Council scale, without plus or minus, and the use of resistance through range when testing grade 4 and grade 5 strength. Pectoralis major and serratus anterior should be routinely tested, however there was no consensus on other shoulder muscles. Grip and pinch strength should be tested according to the American Society of Hand Therapists positioning. For grip strength, either the Jamar or Biometrics dynamometer expressed in kilograms should be used. For grip and pinch strength, three measurements should be performed at each testing. No consensus was reached on a device for pinch strength.

Conclusion:

This work is an important step to enable comparable data in the future. Further consensus methods will work toward developing more comprehensive guidelines in this population. Building international consensus for pre- and postoperative measures of function supports objective evaluation of novel therapies and interpretation of multicenter studies.
Machine learning for approximated sensors for Marksmanship training
Authors: Brawner Keith
Published: April 2021

"All people in the military must be proficient on the basics – to shoot, move, and communicate. Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) is required for both noncommissioned and enlisted Warfighters in all branches of military service, with training on BRM skills being conducted in a series of “dry fire”, simulation, and live drills. In all phases of training, Warfighters receive instruction on the four fundamentals of shooting: breathing, body position, sight picture, and trigger squeeze. Within simulation, this training is conducted in a 1:4 to 1:8 range; one instructor per 4-8 students. While realtime individualized feedback is a goal of instruction, it is not a reality, as instructors must attend to the needs of many students. In an effort to aid instructors in providing valuable individualized feedback, a tutoring system was developed which automatically diagnosed novice performance when compared to experts. This system was used to diagnose novice performance with extensive physical sensors applied to the weapons. This work investigates whether machine learning can aid in the diagnosis of the novice performance, without the physical sensors, and analyzes the degree to which the sensors are necessary."
New results for global stability of neutral-type delayed neural networks
Authors: Ozcan Neyir
Published: April 2021

"This paper deals with the stability analysis of the class of neutral-type neural networks with constant time delay. By using a suitable Lyapunov functional, some delay independent sufficient conditions are derived, which ensure the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for this this class of neutral-type neural networks with time delays with respect to the Lipschitz activation functions. The presented stability results rely on checking some certain properties of matrices. Therefore, it is easy to verify the validation of the constraint conditions on the network parameters of neural system by simply using some basic information of the matrix theory."

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are poorly differentiated small round cell neoplasms which mainly affect children and are not commonly seen in adults. Superficial primitive neuroectodermal tumors are rare and have a favourable prognosis compared to conventional deep seated tumors. We report a case of a 62 year old gentleman with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor arising from the subcutaneous tissue of the right axilla. He was treated with multimodal treatment including surgery and radiotherapy. He is alive and disease free at 2 year follow up.

Successful surgical removal of firmly impacted pancreatic duct stent: Two case report Recently, the self-expandable metallic and plastic stents are increasingly being used for management of different pancreatic disorders. The major indications for pancreatic stent placement are: pancreatic duct stones, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic strictures, unresectable pancreatic cancer, preventing POPF and post-ERCP pancreatitis, papillary adenoma. Stent placement or retrieval and exchange is difficult process and sometimes it could be the serious clinical challenge. We report two cases of successful removal of firmly impacted pancreatic duct stent by open surgical intervention and transduodenal approach with lateral “side-to-side” pancreaticojejunostomy to prevent the risk of main pancreatic duct restenosis in the first case and with the sphincteroplasty in the second. Therefore, in these challenging cases of firmly impacted pancreatic duct stents, our choice seems to be the most optimal and effective surgical procedure, which could be considered like “parachute” option after failed attempts of stents removal by endoscopic and radiological procedures.

PEPERANGAN NABI MUHAMMAD SAW. DAN AYAT-AYAT QITÂL
Authors: Maimoen Abdul Ghofur
Published: April 2021

Persoalan perang dalam masyarakat Islam belakangan ini kembali menjadi problematis karena kini muncul kecenderungan kelompok-kelompok yang memahami perang sebagai sebuah gerakan ofensif  atau menyerang. Pemahaman itu sangat mungkin didasarkan atas pembacaan terhadap ayat-ayat qitâl secara parsial.  Kajian ini mencoba membaca ayat-ayat qitâl atau perang dari perspektif Qur’ani secara holistik –tidak hanya melalui pendekatan tafsir tapi juga Ushul Fikih–, yang dibingkai dengan pembacaan terhadap sejarah Islam, terutama dalam kaitannya dengan sejarah perang Nabi Muhammad dan juga dilihat dari perspektif prinsip-prinsip dakwah Islam itu sendiri, karena  dengan begitu pembacaan terhadap ayat-ayat qitâl baru akan menjadi komprehensif dan tidak lagi sepotong-potong.
 
Key words:  ayat-ayat qitâl, perspektif Qur’ani, sejarah perang Nabi Muhammad, prinsip-prinsip dakwah Islam.

KOREKSI MUḤAMMAD ṬĀLIB ATAS TERJEMAH AL-QUR`AN KEMENAG RI: (UJI VALIDITAS)
Authors: Fuadin Ahmad
Published: April 2021

In his Koreksi Terjemah Harfiyah al-Qur`an, Muḥammad Ṭālib, the amīr of the Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia, accuses the official Qur’anic translation by the Indonesian Ministry of Religion for containing digression and at the same time- supporting radicalism. This article wants to describe and examine Ṭālib’s argumentations. It finds that Ṭālib’s inappropriate methodology lets him criticize the manuscript over-confidently. First, He has only read it partially and could not catch the whole meaning it provides. Second,  ignoring the fact that the exegetes whom he was referring to may provide alternatives for one particular word, Ṭālib has uncarefully treated his sources.Key word: Qur’anic translation, Indonesian Ministry of Religion, Muḥammad Ṭālib, examine validation

Abstract
The study of manuscript is one of the popular topics in the academical world. Especially for exegesis manuscript, it is rarely found in the archipelago. This research is important for preserving the cultural heritage in the form of manuscript. This article examines the codicological aspects of the manuscript. By using codicological discourse analysis, this research concludes that Jalālain Exegesis Manuscript of Kyai Nur Hisyam Mandirejo was written on European paper. He wrote the manuscript into two volumes for studying and learning significance. He finished writing the first volume in 1269 H. and the second volume in 1361 H. The manuscript is still quite clear to read, while the paper has weathered and even there are some papers lost and broken. By using critical discourse analysis, this research reveals that the manuscript consists of various additional information, such as grammatical or naḥwu explanation of certain words, stories related to certain sentences in the exegesis and ma’na gandhul pegon (interlinier text). By comparing the manuscript to Jalālain Exegesis of printed version that corrected by Muḥammad Dhu al-Kifl Zain al-Dīn al-Waṭanī, it was printed by Dār al-Kutub al-Islāmiyyah on January 2011th M. / Muḥarram 1432 H. The researcher reveals that both of them are similar text but have different main text for the guidelines copying process. Some differences found in several sides of study. This research concludes that there are three patterned errors of manuscript writing, like about the writing of لا, ه (ha`) and ى (alif layyinah).
