Authors: Ramírez Mejía Jacqueline Paola
Published: October 2024

OBJETIVO: analizar la implementación del currículum oficial y el currículum oculto en la educación ambiental. MÉTODO: se trabajó con un enfoque mixto, con diseño de triangulación concurrente y alcance descriptivo y explicativo. Para recopilar información se aplicaron entrevistas, revisiones documentales, pruebas objetivas y se desarrolló una sesión de grupo focal. El muestreo fue intencional no probabilístico, de participación voluntaria y expertos; en la fase cuantitativa, se trabajó con 16 estudiantes y 4 unidades de análisis, siendo las planificaciones de Ciencias Naturales. En la fase cualitativa, con 3 estudiantes, dos docentes y la directora administrativa. RESULTADOS: el Currículum Nacional Base evidencia dentro de la malla curricular saberes declarativos de tipo ambiental, pero no son incluidos dentro del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por su parte, los estudiantes, han adquirido algunos conocimientos y valores ecológicos, a través de la convivencia diaria y la participación en actividades extra-aula, evidenciando el currículum oculto. CONCLUSIÓN: el Currículum Nacional Base define las líneas estratégicas para abordar la educación ambiental, ya que tiene fundamento legal y teórico para desarrollarse en el proceso de enseñanza. Sin embargo, es necesario empoderar a los docentes para que puedan utilizar esta herramienta de manera efectiva, con el fin de generar aprendizajes significativos con los estudiantes. No obstante, el currículum oculto también influye en el hecho educativo, ya que a través de las relaciones interpersonales se construyen nuevos conocimientos, se forjan valores, actitudes y comportamientos ambientales.

A pilot scale gravity-centre pivot sprinkler irrigation system (GCPSIS) was designed, constructed and evaluated at two operating speeds on an Okra field at the experimental field of the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering of Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University Makurdi, Analysis of variance (ANOVA)at P(0.05)from the data sets showed mean Soil Wetting Depth (SWD) ranging between 7.75±0.35 to 13.75±035cm/hr and 5.90±0.14 to 3.15±0.49cm/hr at speeds 5 and 7 rpm respectively and were not significantly different both in speeds, orientation and distances from the pivot station. The mean Soil Moisture Content (SMC) was 15.95 ±6.30 and 11.78 ±1.81% at 21-40cm depth at 5rpm and 7rpm respectively. The average Soil Bulk Density (SBD) at 0-20, and 21-40cm soil depth was1.23+0.5g/cm3 and 1.23±0.13g/cm3 respectively at 5rpm indicating a higher variability. At 7rpm mean values were 1,31±0.06 and 1.28+0.06g/cm3 at 0-20, and 21-40cm soil depth respectively indicating similar variability at both depths. Both speed and depth were not significant with respect to the SBD but speed was significant for SMC. Application Efficiency (Ea), Coefficient of Uniformity (CU), Distribution Uniformity (DU) along the pivot lateral complied with acceptable standards and were 77.67, 45.35 and 85.80 % respectively at 5rpm and 86.83, 44.89 and 94.03% at 7rpm respectively. The and Nozzles Discharge (ND) was highest (9.12 L/min) at the nozzle closest to the pivot station, high (9.00 L/min) at the middle nozzle and low (8.94 L/min) at the nozzle at the end of the lateral line in the first week and decreased slightly up to week five due to clogging.

Authors: A.F Olusegun , B. K Gana , O.T Arije
Published: October 2024

A strain of Peudomonas putida capable of producing phytotoxic metabolite was investigated for its biocontrol activity against Chromolaena odorata, Tridax procumbens and Physalis angulata. The organism was mass produced separately in fermentation media and phytotoxic metabolite was precipitated from the culture. Bioherbicide formulation was produced from metabolite viz the bioherbicide formula (which is made up of ten percent of the metabolite yield dissolved in water to make a total of 100 ml). The formulation was sprayed on the three weeds and their effects on the leaves of the three weeds were expressed as percentage and shown pictorially. The volume of the phytotoxic materials obtained from organism was 20ml. The bioherbicide formular obtained from- P. putida showed complete withering of the Chromolaena weed by the 8th day while it took 9 days for Physalis and Tridax to be completely withered after application. Hence, it has therefore been shown that Phytotaxic metabolic of P. putida is efficacious and safe and therefore can be used as an alternative to chemical herbicide and can therefore be optimized for large scale field application.

Authors: Amaechi Chinedum Emmanuel , C Okeke Ogochukwu
Published: October 2024

Phishing attacks pose a significant cybersecurity threat globally, with developing nations like Nigeria facing unique challenges due to localized tactics and cultural factors. This paper presents a novel approach to phishing mitigation in Nigeria, leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning techniques to enhance both automated detection and user training. We analyze a corpus of Nigeria-specific phishing attempts, identifying linguistic patterns and cultural references commonly exploited by attackers. Using this data, we train a deep learning model capable of detecting localized phishing content with high accuracy. Building on this technical foundation, we design a dynamic anti-phishing training program that adapts to individual user behavior and local phishing trends. A Hybrid Deep learning modelsrecurrent neural networks (RNNs) and transformer-based models (BERT), was trained on large datasets of phishing and legitimate samples to learn discriminate features and classify new instances. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in both automated phishing detection rates and user resilience to social engineering tactics. The model achieved high precision (0.89), recall (0.94), and F1-scores (0.92, 1.00).This research contributes to the field by showcasing the potential of combining advanced AI techniques with culturally informed strategies to create more effective, localized cybersecurity solutions.

Previsão do valor vitalício do cliente com abordagens de aprendizado de máquina
Authors:   , Ramos João Marcos Alves Modesto
Published: October 2024

A mudança de paradigma para estratégias de negócio centradas no cliente demonstrou que focar na retenção de clientes e em relacionamentos de longo prazo resulta em modelos de negócios mais lucrativos e sustentáveis em comparação com abordagens centradas no produto. Essa mudança, facilitada pelos avanços na tecnologia, permite que as empresas personalizem suas ofertas com base nas preferências e comportamentos individuais dos clientes, levando a um aumento nos lucros e na satisfação dos clientes. O Valor Vitalício do Cliente (do inglês Customer Lifetime Value ou apenas CLV) é uma métrica importante para identiﬁcar os relacionamentos com clientes mais lucrativos. O CLV é deﬁnido como o valor total que um cliente contribui para uma empresa ao longo de todo o seu relacionamento. Estimar o CLV é desaﬁador devido aos diversos contextos dos relacionamentos com clientes, como interações contratuais versus não contratuais e discretas versus contínuas. Além disso, a disponibilidade de dados e as preocupações com a privacidade diﬁcultam os modelos de previsão. Modelos probabilísticos tradicionais, como Cadeias de Markov, Pareto/NBD e BG/NBD, têm sido amplamente utilizados, ao contrário dos modelos baseados em aprendizado de máquina, que muitas vezes são limitados pela dependência de dados detalhados dos clientes, que nem sempre estão disponíveis ou não condizem com a ética. O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar um modelo baseado em aprendizado de máquina para prever o CLV em diversos contextos sem utilizar dados sensíveis dos clientes, alcançando resultados competitivos com os métodos mais avançados. Os objetivos especíﬁcos incluem propor um modelo de aprendizado de máquina baseado em RFM e outro modelo que utiliza atributos mais complexos baseados em transações. Esta dissertação está organizada em dois artigos principais. O primeiro artigo, apresentado no Capítulo 2, desenvolve uma solução usando modelos probabilísticos e técnicas de aprendizado de máquina, mostrando que os modelos propostos superam os métodos probabilísticos tradicionais na previsão do número de transações. O segundo artigo, detalhado no Capítulo 3, aprimora o modelo incorporando dados relacionados às transações e testando-o em diferentes contextos, como o setor bancário, demonstrando um desempenho melhorado em todos os aspectos, particularmente na previsão do CLV. Como resultados, os modelos de aprendizado de máquina propostos fornecem uma solução generalizável para a estimativa do CLV que prioriza a privacidade dos clientes e se adapta a diversos contextos de negócios, aprimorando a capacidade das empresas de prever o valor dos clientes e personalizar seus serviços.

Authors:   Emergency Department, Hospital National “Carlos Alberto Seguin Escobedo” EsSalud, Moscoso Luis Enrique Nunez ,   Arequipa, Peru
Published: October 2024

Objective: To study the diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) episodes which occurred in the type 2 diabetic adults at the emergency department in CASE Hospital EsSalud Arequipa. Study Design: We reviewed retrospectively the charts of patients who were admitted to the division of Emergency from Jan. 2018 to Dec. 2019 due to DKA. Results: Total 72 adult patients with 74 episodes (12 females and 60 males) of DKA were evaluated. The mean was 45, 80 years. One patient suffered repetitive episodes of DKA. 17 episodes (22.9%) occurred in patients without a history of DM. Infection was the most important precipitating factor in type 2 diabetic patients, with respiratory tract and urinary tract accounting for the two most common foci. Two patients expired, giving the mortality rate of 2, 8%. Only old age contributed to fatality in type 2 diabetic patients. Type 2 diabetic patients had lower value of serum potassium and the occurrence of hyperkalaemia was less than expected. Conclusion: Owing to high percentage of adult DKA episodes occurred in type 2 DM, more attention should be pay to these patients.

In Rat Organotypic Hippocampal Slice Cultures, Conventional Antiepileptic Medications are Unable to Inhibit Epileptiform Activity
Authors:   Apollo College of Pharmacy, Anjora Durg CG 491001, India, Sonwani Hari Prasad
Published: October 2024

Context and Goal: Prior research has shown that organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs) can elicit tonic-clinic seizure-like events (SLEs), which resemble the electroencephalographic correlates of limbic seizures in humans and animals. We have investigated whether OHSCs can be used as in vitro models of limbic seizures to research seizures processes and vetting novel antiepileptic substances. Experimental Strategy: The interface method was used to cultivate OHSCs. Under submerged conditions, the levels of extracellular potassium and neuronal activity were observed. Lowering magnesium concentrations or administering the potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine both caused SLEs. Analysis was done on the impact of common antiepileptic medications (AEDs) on SLEs, including carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproic acid, clonazepam, diazepam, and phenobarbital sodium. Important Outcomes: AEDs did not stop the over 93% of OHSCs from happening induction of SLEs or cease current seizure activity even in the presence of hazardous dosages. The postnatal age at explanation (P2–P10), the manner of seizure provocation, and the length of in vitro cultivation (2 months) had no bearing on this chemoresistance. GABAA-agonist muscimol or glutamate antagonists were able to reversibly block SLEs. Inferences and Conclusions: Unlike animal models of thermoresistant seizures, where responders and nonresponses may only be distinguished after an experiment, we describe an easy to set up in vitro model of tonic-clinic SLEs that is a priori thermoresistant. OHSCs may be useful for investigating the mechanisms underlying medication-resistant seizures and for the discovery of novel anticonvulsive substances that may one day be used to treat drugresistant epilepsy.
Treatment of Water Polluted by Oil Spill by Ferromagnetic Particles
Authors:   Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Saudi Arabia, Aburas Danah
Published: October 2024

Water constitutes 71% of the Earth's surface, and up to 60% of the human body. The amount of water that humans consume, and need depends on the age, gender and the location. According to many studies, oil spill is considered as one of the most common environmental disasters, resulting in the destruction of ecosystems and significant losses for the economies of the countries that suffer from leaked oil, not only because of the price of the leaked oil but also because of the extinction of many marine organisms that live in these environments. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia exports a huge amount of crude oil, varies between 6.935 and 7.737 million barrels per day, leading to rise oil pollution that may harm the vital marine environment. The current paper aims to examine the effect of micro and nano-ferromagnetic in the treatment of water polluted by oil spill. The method is based on mixing the oil with ferromagnetic particles and using the neodymium magnets to separate the particles from the oil. The experiment was repeated by changing the concentration of ferromagnetic particles, that are able to purify water from oil at rates ranging from 154 for microparticles to 185 for nanoparticles. The properties of seawater treated with ferromagnetic particles were identified in both parts by measuring the acidity value and identifying the compounds present in the samples, followed by mechanical experimentation. Results showed the efficacy of purifying seawater from oil leakage using ferromagnetic nanoparticles as well as the extent to which ferromagnetic materials can be separated from oil by examining the components of the water after purification. Also, this method is safe, highly efficient, and cheap for purifying sea water from oil pollution. In addition, the acidity of the water was not affected using ferromagnetic particles, as it ranged around 8.5 for all samples.
Crafting Banking Sector Stability Index for Sierra Leone
Authors:   Manager, Financial Stability Research Section, Department of Research & Statistics, Bank of Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone, N Johnson Leroy
Published: October 2024

Stability in the banking sector of Sierra Leone is crucial because it gives confidence and trust in the banking ecosystem. However, it is vital to assess the health conditions of the sector, by means of a composite Banking Sector Stability Index (BSSI) for Sierra Leone. This BSSI will supplement the suite of early warning indicators of the financial system and offers a platform to keep policymakers informed about the dynamics in the ecosystem of Sierra Leone. This study developed a Banking Sector Stability Index (BSSI) for Sierra Leone, using a nest of financial soundness indicators and gauges the health of the banking ecosystem with short term forecasting tendencies conditions in the banking ecosystem. It applied statistical and Conference Board Methodology normalization processes on Sierra Leone’s banking data from 2019Q1 to 2022Q4. The resultant index traced fairly well the episodes of crisis in the system over the study period. It could, therefore, be employed as a complementary regulatory policy tool to gauge potential risks to enable monetary authorities take timely precautionary policy measures to assuage crisis in the banking ecosystem.

Authors:   Researcher of Department of clinical and experimental pathology at Alexandre Natishvili Institute of Morphology, Tbilisi State University, Georgia, Gvianishvili Tamuna
Published: October 2024

Oncocytic cell neoplasia makes a challenge in diagnosis and treatment, because It’s known that oncocytic cell neoplasms have unique molecular mechanisms. Oncocytic cells can be seen in many types of thyroid disease, including benign tumors, low-risk neoplasms, and malignant neoplasms. Thyroid tumors are classified as oncocytic cell neoplasms when more than 75% of the tumor consists of oncocytic cells. We studied oncocytic cells in cases of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with different markers (Protein S-100, CD56, p63 and Cyclin D1). Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that these markers have different expression in different diseases and is more accurate for oncocytic cell carcinoma than for PTC. However, each marker has different sensitivity and specificity among the diseases studied.

Approaches Concerning Malnutrition and Oral Health in Public Health Nutrition
Authors:   Microbiology Department, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, Kebbi State, Nigeria, Osatogbe Abiodun Jacob
Published: October 2024

Malnutrition is a worldwide problem that has a negative impact on the physical health, development, and ability to recover of children. Protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) is prevalent in pregnant women, the elderly, and small children and is a primary cause of obesity in developing nations. Vitamin A, iron, iodine, zinc, and folate are necessary for maintaining a well-rounded diet and promoting optimal nutrition. Approximately 33% of individuals in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to these essential nutrients, which has a detrimental impact on their mental and physical well-being, energy levels, and economic development. Oral microbial communities, such as Streptococcus and Enterococcus, have an impact on human health and the development of diseases. Malnutrition heightens the susceptibility to infection and death, particularly in infants under the age of five, with diarrhoea and respiratory diseases being the primary contributors to mortality. Gaining a more profound comprehension of the oral microbiota can facilitate the development of more effective management strategies. Children with comorbidities who experience severe malnutrition face a fourfold increase in their chance of mortality. It is crucial for medical practitioners to give priority to the diagnosis and treatment of severe acute malnutrition in children, as the presence of comorbidities raises the risk of death for highly malnourished children by a factor of four.

Vitamin A, iron, iodine, zinc, and folate are necessary for maintaining a well-rounded diet and promoting optimal nutrition. Approximately 33% of individuals in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to these essential nutrients, which has a detrimental impact on their mental and physical well-being, energy levels, and economic development. Oral microbial communities, such as Streptococcus and Enterococcus, have an impact on human health and the development of diseases. Malnutrition heightens the susceptibility to infection and death, particularly in infants under the age of five, with diarrhoea and respiratory diseases being the primary contributors to mortality. Gaining a more profound comprehension of the oral microbiota can facilitate the development of more effective management strategies. Children with comorbidities who experience severe malnutrition face a fourfold increase in their chance of mortality. It is crucial for medical practitioners to give priority to the diagnosis and treatment of severe acute malnutrition in children, as the presence of comorbidities raises the risk of death for highly malnourished children by a factor of four.
Antimicrobial Resistance in Nigeria and the One-Health Approach to Antimicrobial Stewardship: A Review
Authors:   Department of Biological Sciences Lead City University Ibadan, ET Umezurike
Published: October 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, to survive, thrive and even proliferate in the presence of chemical agents meant to destroy or slow down their rate of growth. According to a study conducted in 2022, approximately 5 million deaths occurred globally that are related to AMR. This is an astronomical increase from 1.27 million AMR related deaths reported by a study conducted in 2019. By 2050, this number has been projected to rise to 10,000,000 deaths annually. Since AMR has been seen to be an ecological problem it calls for a cooperative, interdisciplinary strategy including experts in environmental, animal, and human health called the One Health strategy. The misuse of antibiotics is clearly linked as a causal factor for the evolution of resistance. Modern medicine has even inadvertently accelerated this change even further by eradicating competitor organisms which were drug-susceptible, thus allowing resistant microorganisms to multiply and spread via natural selection. AMR is also significantly aided by the improper prescription of antibiotics. AMR is a serious public health issue globally an in Nigeria. Current statistics suggest that without taking measured steps the spectrum of antibiotics which will be available for treatment of infections will continue to reduce. Antimicrobial stewardship along with the one health approach are strategies which will help to ensure that AMR can be brought under control.

Background: Infantile acropustulosis is a recurrent, self-limited, pruritic, vesicopustular eruption of the palms and the soles occurring in young children during the first 2-3 years of life. Newly described in 1979, it is probably much more common than the scarcity of reports would imply. Objective: The objective of the study was to identify the pattern of pruritic vesicopustular skin eruptions in Yemeni infants. Patients and Methods: Twenty five male and females Yemeni infants patients 1 to 3 years old presented with pruritic erythematous macules or papules that progress into vesicles and then pustules in the palms, the soles, and the lateral surfaces. Lesions may occur on the dorsal aspects of the hands and the feet as well as the trunk, the scalp, and the face. The intensity and the duration of attacks diminish with each recurrence. No other organ systems are involved. They treated with topical Betamethasone cream or ointment and systemic antihistamine. The skin biopsy followed by histopathological examination was not specific. Results: The clinical data and the investigations showed that the 25 Yemeni infants had acropustulosis. Conclusion: Acropustulosis of infancy in Yemeni infants is very common skin disorder. The bad hygiene may play an important role in the etiology or allergic substances. It is not recurrence.

Authors:   School of Environmental Science, University of Indonesia, and Ministry of Transportation, HK Suwito
Published: October 2024

Utilizing fossil fuels within the transportation segment significantly contributes to increased CO2 emissions in the environment, thus requiring concerted efforts to reduce these emissions. Various studies indicate that the utilization of SAF in jet-powered aircraft contributes significantly to efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, but there are various obstacles to its implementation. This study examines the main obstacles in the development of SAF, determines countries that can be used as benchmarks for SAF development, studies the development of SAF in selected countries, and describes the future development of SAF in Indonesia The approach employed in this consideration may be a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) utilizing auxiliary information from different sources. This study shows that the most boundaries to the advancement of SAF incorporate feedstock accessibility, supply chain, government support, technology readiness, and SAF selling price. The United States and the European Union (EU) are countries or regions that can be used as best practices for SAF implementation. They have succeeded in becoming producers and consumers, and have a roadmap for SAF development in their respective countries. Indonesia, with its abundant feedstock potential, technological expertise, and strong government support, has great potential to become a successful SAF implementer. Further research, policy formulation, and regulation development in SAF development are still needed, especially to align SAF prices with fossil fuel prices.

Implantable Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs) have revolutionized the biomedical field by providing innovative power solutions for medical devices and enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Internally implanted TENG transforms kinetic energy from the body into electrical power, providing a constant energy supply for Implantable Medical Devices (IMD). Their ability to generate high voltage and low current makes them particularly effective for applications in biosensing, patient monitoring, and therapeutic interventions. Therapeutically, TENGs power cardiac pacemakers, promote wound healing, enhance bone regeneration, and support muscle and nerve stimulation. They also enable controlled drug release, particularly in targeted cancer treatments.
