Several studies have shown that most condiments consumed in Nigeria today are fortified with chemicals that alter the nature and stripped the nutrients and natural immunological adjuvants designed by nature to protect the body system. Several condiments have been developed from fermented foods in order to control this ugly situation but there is still controversial thought on the nutritive and antinutrient effects of the condiment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritive and antinutrient values of the soybean condiments produced using indigenous fermenters. Soybean (Glycine max) sample was fermented with indigenous microorganisms isolated from 7 days old fermented soybean sample. This was oven-dried, pulverized and packaged in a cleaned sterile screw capped container. Gravimetric, spectrometric and titrimetric methods were employed for the nutritive and antinutrient parameters. Lactobacillus plantarum strain ZS 2058 (L), Bacillus subtilis strain 168 (B) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YJM555 (Y) were the indigenous microbes used singly and in consortium for the production of light to dark brown condiments with water activity ranging from 0.27 – 0.37 for the fermented soybean in the plate and 0.22 - 0.36 for the fermented soybean wrapped with Thaumatococcus danielli leaves (called Uma in Igbo and Ewe eran in Yoruba). The moisture, ash, fat, protein, crude fiber, carbohydrate and B-carotene contents ranges from 2.70 – 14.75 %, 0.03 – 4.10 %, 11.11 – 14.69 %, 48.22 – 53.77 %, 10.22 – 12.04%, 8.16 – 21.61 % and 6.92 – 8.14 % respectively. The isoflavone contents (0.096 -0.132 % w/w) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of normal soybean (0.068 %). The phytates, lectin, oxalates and tannins contents were significantly (0.01>P<0.05) reduced to minimum values of 0.01 mg/g, 0.02 mg/g, 0.02 g/100g and 0.08 mg/g respectively. Therefore condiments produced from fermentation of soybean using indigenous B, L, Y, BL and BLY are recommended as this would enhance its safety and nutritional quality, and those fermented in plastic plates using BLY were the most efficient, preferable and acceptable.

أجريت هذه الدراسة لتقييم مدى استجابة بذور السنط Acacia mellifera لمعاملات كسر السكون . المعاملات التي اختبرت هي الخدش الميكانيكي (إزالة جزء من غلاف البذرة)، الماء المغلي (غمر البذور في ماء يغلي على النار لمدة 30 و 45 و 60 و 90 ثانية، ونقع البذور في ماء مغلي ترك ليبرد لمدة 12 ساعة)، والنقع في ماء الصنبور لمدة 24 ساعة. أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن الخدش الميكانيكي كان فعالا في الرفع من النسبة المئوية للإنبات (Germination Percentage)، معدل الإنبات (Germination Rate)، متوسط الإنبات اليومي (Mean Daily Germination)، دليل معدل الإنبات (Germination Rate Index) وكذلك معامل سرعة الإنبات (Coefficient Velocity of Germination). لقد اتضح كذلك أن باقي المعاملات التي اختبرت لم تحسن المؤشرات التي درست مقارنة مع الشاهد, كما لوحظ أن النسبة المئوية للإنبات و دليل معدل الإنبات قد انخفضت معنويا مع زيادة وقت التعرض للماء المغلي. إن نتائج هذه الدراسة قد أفضت إلى أن بذور A. mellifera تتميز بالسكون الفيزيائي، فهي لن تنبت بصورة مرضية الا بعد تعريضها لمعاملات ما قبل الإنبات. وقد ثبت أن الخدش الميكانيكي هو أنجع المعاملات في تحسين خصائص الإنبات التي تعد مؤشرا على قوة البذور وبذلك من المتوقع أن يكون لها تأثير إيجابيّ على عمليات المشاتل وبرامج التشجير.
Effect of Flame Retardants and 1% Stabilizer on Burning, Flammability Behaviour, and Thermal Decomposition Properties Via Polypropylene Material Treatmen
Authors: Efhema Mastura A.
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to understand the mechanisn of combining the action of different types of flame netexdents an thermal stability and flammability of Polypropylene polymer (PP). PP Polymer was chosen to be blent in a twin screw extruder with the flame retardants (FR) and an additive, which is a 1% Stabilizer, to investigate Polypropylene's burning moderation and reduce it by studying its burning behavior and thermal decomposition properties. Flammability behaviour tests which is known as LOI were applied in this study. It was found that halogenated flame retardants have a little effect on reducing the rate of gas escape from polymer melt which affects the viscosity, as it was found that APP and FR245 in PP Polymer help in some leftovers of the polymer. All samples with flame retardants and no clay were burnt completely, and the flame spread was reduced and samples were self-extinguished except for the one containing the fire retardants only. All these results were investigated by XRD, Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), and Digital images of the charred samples of polymers.

Published: May 2022

In this work was studied effect of wastewater pollution on heavy metal accumulation in Cystoseria sp., (brown seaweed) and Enteromorpha sp. (Green algae), in an effort to gain some insight into the level of metal contamination which might exist in the coastal marine environment along the Derna coast. Assessed by measuring the concentration of heavy metals as Pb, Zn, Mn and Cd, in the algae tissue and seawater. The results indicate concentrations of metals were invariably slightly higher in Enteromorpha sp., than in Cystoseria sp., at all sampling stations. The metals concentrations recorded for the different tissues and sites of the present study confirm the higher concentrations usually observed in summer. The average MPI was highest (0.86) for the both species inhabiting S6 station and least (0.29) at S1 station. In general, the all of heavy metals show no detrimental effects on the domestic aquatic environment of Derna coast. However, must be monitored continuously to ensure that they stay at harmless levels.

Authors: Hamad Abdelhamid A.
Published: May 2022

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of combinations of four incubation periods (30, 45, 60 and 75 days), three explants density (one, two and three) and four volumes of medium (3, 6, 9 and 12 ml) in the in vitro shoot formation per explant, total shoots and total cost per liter of medium and cost per shoot of Moris pineapple. The highest shoot per explant was obtained in combination of three explants in 12 ml of medium incubated for 60 days, three explants in 9 and in 12 ml of medium and one explant in 3 and in 9 ml of medium incubated for 75 days but at different total shoots (2750, 3667, 2750, 3667 and 1222 shoots), total cost ( USA $25.85, 36.09, 28.39, 95.32 and 36.06) per liter of medium. Combinations in which three explants were used per culture resulted in lowest cost per shoot (1.0 cent) while combination in which one explant was used per culture, the cost per shoot was two to three times higher (2.6 and 2.9 cents). Combination of three explants, 3 ml of medium and 75 days of incubation, on the other hand, resulted in formation of only 6 shoots per explant (almost half of the highest obtained rate) but in highest total shoot per liter of medium (6000 shoots ) at highest total cost (USA $95.32) and intermediate cost per shoot (1.6 cents). Combination of three explants, 6 ml of medium and 75 days resulted in formation of 10 shoots per explant, production of 5000 shoots per liter of medium at lowest cost per shoot (1.0 cent) and intermediate total cost per liter of medium (USA $ 50.68). Using of one explant in 12 ml for 30 days resulted in formation of 5 shoots per explant, highest cost per shoot (5.0 cents) and lowest total shoots (417 shoots) and lowest total cost (USA $ 20.73) per liter of medium.

Vegetation patches in semiabandoned olive groves: using generalised linear mixed models to determine the effect of area on community composition of woody plants
Authors: Navarro-Rosales Francisco , Bell Matthew B. V.
Published: May 2022

Aim of study: The existence of distinct vegetation habitats within semiabandoned olive groves provides a unique chance to study the plant community within semiabandoned Mediterranean landscapes. We investigated changes in community composition of woody plants across a gradient of patch sizes by providing an example of a novel statistical technique. We also aimed to determine if commonness, life form and dispersal mechanisms of woody plants are key factors influencing species presence at vegetation patches of different sizes.
Area of study: Three traditional, partially managed mountain olive groves (La Soledad, Las Niñas and Piquín) were selected within Sierra Morena de Córdoba, in Central Southern Spain.
Material and methods: The woody vegetation within patches at the three groves was sampled in July 2020 following a stratified random approach. All woody plants were identified and recorded. Variation in community composition across patch area was examined using generalised linear mixed models (GLMMs) with a binomial distribution.
Main results: There were significant changes in the community composition of woody plants as patch area increased. There was turnover of species with increasing area, characterised by the gain of species. This was observed both as a general and site-specific trend. Patterns in presence across area showed clear among species variation. Including dispersal strategies and life form variables improved model fit, revealing these are important factors influencing the community composition within the patches.
Research highlights: The GLMM analysis demonstrated that patches of larger areas support higher richness without incurring in any loss of species. Thus, maintaining large patches is important for woody plant conservation within semi-abandoned groves.

A turbulent convection theory of radar angels
Authors: RAI D. B.
Published: May 2022

The problem of back-scattering from invisible atmospheric sources and the near zone concept put forward by Atlas are reviewed in relation to some angels observed at Bombay and New Delhi. It is seen that the near zone concept is not applicable to these cases. It is believed that a larger radar cross-section can be obtained in the far zone case by assuming a cylindrical model of the atmospheric eddies.  Such eddies may occur in a region of turbulent convection, These air parcels consisting of homogeneous refractive medium can be treated as units for back-scattering treatment and may yield a considerably larger cross-section, A number of angels observed on PPI and REI are explained on this model, 'Angel bands' observed on REI at Delhi are found to be associated with moist layers at corresponding heights, Some particularly intense echoes observed on PPI at Bombay arc attributed to the probable existence of a break in the inversion layer over the coastal region from which the radar waves are predominantly scattered towards sea and the corrugated sea surface turn back scatters sufficient energy to reach the receiver.

According to reports which appeared in the newspapers, the U.S.S.R. exploded two Nuclear (Hydrogen) bombs on 23 and 30 October 1961 in their testing ground above the arctic ice cap east of Novaya Zemlya Island. Both the explosions are said to have been exploded in the atmosphere at a height of about 50 to 60 km. The first explosion, i.e., on 23 October, has been estimated to be of the order of 30 megatons and the second on 30 October, has been estimated to he more than 50 megatons. The explosion on 23 October was recorded by the Seismological Observatory at Upsala (Sweden) at 0811 35m 51s GMT. The French detection services recorded blast wave at 08h 52m GMT from the Novaya Zemlya region in the Arctic. The explosion was also reported to have been recorded by the Royal Netherland Meteorological Service. In Tokyo (Japan) the shock waves started arriving at about 13h 16m GMT. The explosion on 30 October, was detect-ed by various services in Europe and Japan. All the available reports in news-papers sugested that the explosion was 2 to 4 times more powerful than that of 23 October.

In India, the only information on heights of cumulonimbus cloud tops, available so far, is based on very limited number of observations either from debriefing reports of aircrafts or from meteorological reconnaissance flights. To gain more exhaustive and complete knowledge of cumulonimbus cloud tops over North India, a radar study based on the record of the 469 storms observed during a period of 31 months, was conducted at New Delhi using the CPS-9 radar. The result of the analysis are detailed out and discussed in the light of the existing information on the subject.
On the intensity and areal coverage of the northeast monsoon Rains in the districts of Madras State
Authors: GASPAR S.
Published: May 2022

In this paper an attempt is made to establish the relationship between the intensity of rainfall recorded by the India Meteorological Department Observatories in the Madras State during the northeast monsoon season and intensity and areal coverage of rainfall in the districts in which the observatories are situated. The daily rainfall recorded at the large number of provincial raingauge stations in the State during a period of five years, has been analysed for this purpose and the analysis shows that associated with the occurrence of different intensities of rain at the Observatory stations, herein called the 'Pilot' station, the district receives certain well defined types of rainfall.

 

A number of other features of the intensity and areal coverage of the northeast monsoon rains in Madras State are also brought out in the paper.
Solar daily Geomagnetic Variation in the Low Latitude Region
Authors: RAO K. S. RAJA
Published: May 2022

The solar daily variation in the geomagnetic field at some low latitude stations has been studied from the harmonic analysis of the hourly values of horizontal intensity. The seasonal variations in the amplitudes and phases with geographic, geomagnetic and magnetic latitudes have been examined. It is found that there is no appreciable variation in the amplitude and phase from winter to summer; but the equinoxial amplitudes are highest for the year, while at higher latitudes the summer values are the highest. There is clear indication of geomagnetic control of the S variation, dependence on the magnetic latitude being closer than dependence on the geomagnetic latitude.
Irregular Fluctuations in H Field at Kodaikanal
Authors: MURTHY B. SRINIVASA
Published: May 2022

Considering the hourly values of (rH—rHq), where rH is the range in H for a particular hour and rHq, IS the mean of ranges for the same hour on five international quiet days of the month, as measures of the hourly intensity of irregular fluctuations in the horizontal field, a study of the variations in their incidence at Kodaikanal is made for the period 1952-53. It is found that the fluctuations are the least in the early morning hours and the largest around local noon. The seasonal changes in the form of diurnal variation of the incidence of the fluctuations become prominent only for dayswith international character figure C>1. The effect of increased magnetic activity in all the seasons is a general increase in the intensity of fluctuations, which however, is not uniform for all hours. The increase is large around noon and the least, early in the morning; the increase during night, which is generally considerable, becomes particularly marked during equinoctial months.

From the daily, weekly and monthly values of Q/Q A and n/N the least square regression constants, a and b in the equation, Q/QA = a + b (n/N), have been calculated for Madras, Q and Q A being radiation one square centimetre of horizontal surface at the surface of the earth and at the top of the atmosphere respectively, n and N being the actual and the maximum possible durations of bright sunshine respectively. Daily data have also been grouped season-wise for the dry and the monsoon seasons and the values of a and b have been calculated for the two seasons. Correlation coefficients between Q/Q A and n/N have also been calculated.

 

The values of a and b for Madras have been compared with those obtained by different workers in other of the world.

 

The mean monthly incident radiation at a few placed on the east coast having the same cloud regime as at Madras has also been worked out.

Published: May 2022

The change in the drop-size spectrum , and the liquid water content has been computed for different types of distribution curves. The drop-size distribution was assumed to follow a Gaussian curve, and the change in the spectrum was computed numerically from an equation developed by Schumann. It is shown that the number of large drops in a cloud cannot increase by coalescence, unless the spectrum has a very large range or a sharp peak.
Upper air contour patterns and associated heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon
Authors: PISHAROTY P.R. , KULKARNI S. B.
Published: May 2022

The necessity of dealing with the lower troposphere over India as consisting of two separate strata having opposite values of horizontal wind divergence is briefly explained. It may not be sufficient to look for areas of convergence at the lower levels areas of marked divergence at the upper levels of 500 mb and aloft may be equally, if not more, important for the understanding and forecasting of very heavy rains. The principles of deducing areas of marked horizontal divergence on qualitative reasoning based on considerations of non-geostrophic motion as well as of air flow down the gradients of vorticity and then outlined. A few cases of non-orographic phenomenal rainfall of 10-20 in 24 hours which fell over certain parts of India during the southwest monsoon of 1954 are shown to have fallen in areas of marked upper air divergence, deducible from such qualitative reasoning applied to flow patterns at 500 mb and a aloft.

Published: May 2022

The influence of the orographic features at Mussooree on the upper winds in the lower, levels of the atmosphere has been examined in this paper, analysing the data of 561 pilot balloon ascents during the period, May 1950 to June 1955. It has been found that the influence of orography on the upper winds at Mussooree extends to about 30,000 ft a.s,l. resulting in appreciable reduction of the wind speed on a large number of occasions. The frequencies of appreciable velocity reduction at various levels for winds blowing from different directions are presented and discussed. The data studied in this paper support the present theoretical concepts regarding some of the features of standing waves.

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Antibiotic Allergies Increase Risk of Postoperative Complications
Authors: Bahoravitch Tyler J. , Jami Meghana , Nayar Suresh K. , Agarwal Amil , Kreulen R. Timothy , Best Matthew J. , Srikumaran Uma
Published: May 2022

Background:

Periprosthetic infections after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are associated with devastating complications and prolonged treatment. Patients with identified antibiotic allergy (ABX) may be at increased risk for complications because of suboptimal preincisional prophylaxis. This study aims to quantify the risk of postoperative outcomes and complications for patients undergoing TSA with a history of ABX.

Methods:

Retrospective cohort analysis of patient data was conducted using the PearlDiver Patient Records Database. Patients who underwent TSA for osteoarthritis were identified using Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes and were stratified based on self-reported (1) penicillin, (2) sulfonamide, or (3) other antibiotic allergies. We analyzed patient demographics, comorbidities, 90-day medical complications, and rate of revision at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years.

Results:

In total, 85,606 patients who underwent TSA for osteoarthritis from 2010 to 2018 were identified, of whom 7,836 (9.15%) had a reported ABX. Univariate analysis found the ABX cohort was younger (67.5 versus 67.7 year; P = 0.042), more often female (67.57% versus 54.79%; P < 0.001), and more likely to have Elixhauser comorbidities than nonallergic control subjects. Multivariate analysis found patients who reported ABX had increased likelihood of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) within 30 days (odds ratio [OR]: 3.129), 1 year (OR: 2.016), and 2 years of surgery (OR: 2.221). Patients with reported ABX had increased likelihood of postoperative anemia (OR: 1.126), blood transfusion (OR: 1.238), and readmission (OR: 1.585) within 90 days of surgery. Patients with penicillin allergy had a greater incidence of revision due to PJI at 30 days (OR: 4.811), 90 days (OR: 2.91), 1 year (OR: 2.105), and 2 years (OR: 2.72). Rates of reported ABX increased from 2010 to 2018 (8.60% to 10.91%; P = 0.001) in patients undergoing TSA.

Conclusion:

Patients undergoing TSA with a history of ABX had a higher risk of readmission, postoperative anemia, blood transfusions, and PJI. These findings support critical assessment and clarification of reported allergies before TSA and possibly the use of preoperative allergy testing.

Study on the anti-corrosion performance of multi-functional additives used in coolant for solder material
Authors: Le Viet Binh
Published: May 2022

This work presented the corrosion protection performance of anticorrosion multi-metal hybrid (AC-2MH) complex additive for solder materials in corrosive media. The AC-2MH complex contained traditional additives and organic acids. The Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results demonstrated the formation of active and passive protective layers on the surface of the alloys, which prevented the solder materials from corrosion. The electrochemical analysis also indicated that the multifunctional additive had the capability of inhibiting the corrosion rate up to 97-99% under normal conditions (30-40 oC). At high temperatures (60-70 oC), the corrosion inhibition efficiency was significantly reduced to 89-94%.

В период военных действий особенно в районах неблагополучных по инфекционной заболеваемости возникает риск повышения инфекционных заболеваемости холерой. Мариуполь – портовый город, который в данный момент полностью разрушен, поэтому и возникает повышенный риск заболеваемости холерой, которая периодически возникала, в этом городе и в мирное время.Целью нашей работы опираясь на исторический опыт борьбы профессора З. В. Ермольевой с холерой во время войны проанализировать заболеваемости холерой в городе Мариуполь и России.Материалом для статьи послужили литературные источники о историческом значении профилактики холеры, значение сапронозов в классификации инфекционных болезней.Роль сапронозов ( в т.ч. холеры) остается недооцененной проблемой на современном этапе, так многие практические и научные сотрудники забывают о непрекращающемся риске возникновения вспышек этих заболеваний. Анализируя исторический опыт выдающихся микробиологов и эпидемиологов, можно и на современном этапе предотвратить активизацию эпидемического процесса этих инфекций.

During the period of hostilities, especially in areas unfavorable for infectious morbidity, there is a risk of an increase in infectious morbidity with cholera. Mariupol is a port city, which is currently completely destroyed, and therefore there is an increased risk of cholera, which periodically occurred in this city even in peacetime.The purpose of our work is to analyze the incidence of cholera in the city of Mariupol and Russia, based on the historical experience of the fight against cholera by Professor Z.V. Ermolyeva during the war.The material for the article was the literary sources on the historical significance of cholera prevention, the importance of sapronoses in the classification of infectious diseases.The role of sapronoses (including cholera) remains an underestimated problem at the present stage, so many practitioners and scientists forget about the ongoing risk of outbreaks of these diseases. Analyzing the historical experience of outstanding microbiologists and epidemiologists, it is possible to prevent the activation of the epidemic process of these infections at the present stage.

Authors: Alkhatnai Mubarak Alkhatnai
Published: May 2022

The application of technology in education has become a trend in teaching and the focus of interest in multiple studies because of its various means of implementation. The COVID-19 pandemic has even amplified the need to adapt to different digital-related modalities, one of which is online learning. Although online learning has many benefits for teachers and students, it still poses numerous challenges for education stakeholders. The current study aims to analyze the stressors contributing to difficulties induced by online language learning as experienced by both the students and teachers at King Saud University (KSU). The study also aims to serve as a basis for developing adaptive teaching modalities. This study uses a mixed-descriptive quantitative and qualitative research method, with an open-ended question and a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. The findings suggest that both the teachers and students frequently felt stressed by the identified contributing stressors and felt that online language learning was difficult for both clusters of respondents. Furthermore, the study concludes with the suggestion that the administrators should consider the needs of the teachers and students and offer them the necessary support to help alleviate the stress and difficulties they are experiencing with online language learning.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of social phobia among undergraduate university students in Oman and investigate its relationship with the subjects’ academic performance and personal characteristics. This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted at Sultan Qaboos University in April-May 2019 among undergraduate students. The self-administered Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) was administered to assess scores of social phobia among participants. The analytical tools were independent t-tests, fitting single linear regression and multiple linear regression models for the outcomes of social phobia and academic GPA, and personal characteristics. A total of 170 nursing students self-completed the study survey. The results showed a high prevalence (82.4%) of social phobia among study subjects. Single linear-regression analysis indicated a negative association between social phobia and the academic GPA (t= -3.04, p = .21), although it was not significant. The participants’ characteristics significantly predicted level of social phobia [F (10, 159) = 2.38, p < .05], adjusted R-square= .08. Using stepwise-regression analysis gave only one model with one predictor, age, which was significant (t= -4.0, p < .05), adjusted R-square= .08. This study lays the foundation for succeeding studies that will seek an understanding of the contributing factors related to the incidence of social phobia among Omani university students. The study also sheds light on the impact of social phobia on academic performance among Omani university students. The study calls for policy advisors in Higher Education to consider raising awareness about this disorder and ensuring accessibility to the available treatment. University faculty should consider planning appropriate assessment methods to maximize the benefit to the students.

Banana leaf roller, Erionota thrax thrax, is an example of plant-insect interaction in a cultivated banana that distributes in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. This subspecies was determined previously based on the morphological character only. The genetic characteristic based on molecular data and genetic diversity had never been accessed for this important pest. This study aimed to (1) characterize the identity of E. t. thrax based on the Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene sequence; (2) explore a genetic variation in haplotype diversity of the COI gene. We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships and determined the entire population's haplotype using MrBayes Version 3.2.6, MEGA X, and DnaSP v5. The Bayesian tree showed that this subspecies consists of two clades, i.e., Sundaland population and Sulawesi population clades. Moreover, there are six haplotypes in the Sundaland population and a single haplotype in the Sulawesi population. The genetic distance within E. t. thrax ranged from 0.002 to 0.008 in the Sundaland population, while that between the two populations ranged from 0.016 to 0.023. The scientific novelty of this study is that the COI gene sequences allow distinguishing the population of E. t. thrax between the Sunda and Wallaceae lines and tracing the origin of the Papuan population based on the similarity of its haplotype.

Published: May 2022

The study aims to identify the impact of adopting innovative technologies in telecommunications companies on constructive and destructive behaviors of leaders. A quantitative questionnaire survey was adopted, and the data was collected from 380 employees of the three major telecommunications companies in Jordan (Orang, Zain, and Umniah). The results revealed a positive impact of adopting innovative technologies on constructive leadership behaviors. Furthermore, adopting innovative technologies has no impact on destructive leadership behaviors. Our research mainly contributes positively and significantly to highlighting the importance of shifting focus in organizations that rely on innovative technology from the detrimental impact of a disruptive leader on company sustainability and service improvement. This study contributes to the literature on innovation and modern technology in general and the literature on leadership behaviors and constructive and destructive leadership in particular. First, to the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to examine the impact of innovative technology on leaders' behaviors. Second, although the broader leadership and technology literature has provided some new insights into the direct impact of the interaction between leader behaviors and technology adoption, the results have often been inconclusive.

This same impact of social internet on bigotry is modern society is an attractive research area. It deals with news prejudice, so it's crucial to look at where the television promotes to discrimination in specific ways. Because White persons controlled contemporary gaming industry and chose the images of Black individuals to convey throughout the beginning stages of tv and film, African Americans battled to express your own stories, beliefs, views, even selves. Our study incorporated comprehensive understanding of Bandura's Observational Learning in order to know how advertisements affect our beliefs and values. This study looked for when resources are available to mass media viewers, as well as how the relevant organization our attitudes, sentiments, and behaviors towards everyone else. In particular, as it relates to racial inequities, biases, racial implicit bias, and African American men's perspectives. Occasions and evidence on perceived discrimination, as well as their impact on press attention, have been discovered in major findings. The representation of Muhammad and Muslims as in British press is examined in this article. It suggests that British Muslims are frequently portrayed as an "alien other." It claims that this misperception is linked to that same emergence of something like a 'racist,' particularly Xenophobia, which has its roots in social portrayals of the 'everyone else.' To support this claim, the article provides a synopsis of just how racial groups have really been depicted there in British newspaper, arguing that portrayals of British Muslims in Religion are based on comparable ideas of 'deviations' and 'Notre.'

Amoxicillin' ability to cure infectious diseases has since been one fundamental building block therapy. Nonetheless, rampant antimicrobial overuse that overuse often resulted in unintended consequences, necessitating sizable policy decisions to mitigate. Throughout this study, we look at two key types of bacterial resistance and misuse consequences. To begin, we look at how resistant bacteria spreads beyond centers of resistant strains toward the environment, paying special emphasis to probable conveyance channels. Finally, we discuss the effects of antibiotic poisoning on natural microbiomes, along with crustaceans and humans, irrespective of resistant strains. We close with a review of current geographical laws aimed at decreasing microbiological pollution's effects, as well as a list of areas where these regulations are now being developed.
