Mango seeds are discarded as waste after the extraction of mango juice. This study aims to valorise the kernels oils of mango (Mangifera indica). In this study, the kernel of four mango varieties (Amelie, Brooks, Kent and Keitt) that are grown and processing in north of Cote d’Ivoire investigated were used. The oils of these kernels were extracted by Soxhlet at 80 °C. Their physicochemical properties were determinate using standard methods. Physicochemical properties of the kernels oil were: specific gravity, 0.80±0.08 to 0.93±0.01; refractive index (50 °C), 1.43±0.07 to 1.47 ± 0.10; iodine value, 44.84 ± 0.05 to 59.41 ± 0.03 g I2 /100 g; peroxide value, 0.50 ± 0.00 to 1.90 ± 0.00 meq.O2/kg; acid value, 2.00 ± 0.00 to 7.65 ± 0.01 mg of KOH/g and saponification value, 167.53 ± 0.04 to 188.44 ± 0.04 mg KOH/g. Results revealed that these kernels oil contained a significant presence of oleic (31.14 ± 0.27 to 37.19c ± 0.23) and stearic (20.11 ± 0.12 to 40.43 ± 0.03) fatty acids. All these interesting characteristics confirm their usefulness for different nutritional and industrial applications.

In Côte d'Ivoire, cassava production is carried out by small-scale planters who use very few technical means and local cultivars that are not very productive and susceptible to diseases. The objective of this study is to maximize the recovery of cassava cuttings after planting. To this end, ten substrates of single, double, triple and quadruple composition were made from soil supplemented with sawdust, chicken droppings, carbonized rice husks and NPK 10 18 18 to regenerate dehydrated cassava Bocou 1 and Yavo mini-cuttings. The recovery rate of the mini-cuttings was evaluated as well as the agro-morphological parameters of the seedlings for 21 days. Results showed that the recovery rate was very high on the carbonized rice husk substrate (86.5% in Bocou 1 and 85.5% in Yavo). In addition, the substrates significantly influenced the growth parameters of the seedlings. Thus, the substrate composed of carbonized chicken-bale soil had the highest number of leaves, with 6 leaves per plant in Bocou 1 and 10 leaves in Yavo, with an average height ranging from 10.99 ± 1.22 (Bocou 1) to 20.23 ± 1.16 (Yavo). The results of this study will help orient the actors of the cassava sector towards a new cultivation technique.

Published: September 2021

Due to rapid urbanization, increase in coastal population, oil and gas exploration and other array of anthropogenic activities within the Niger Delta region of which Rivers and Bayelsa states are prominent amongst others, the region has been faced with coastal water pollution. There is need therefore, to evaluate the intensity of environmental contamination of the aquatic ecosystem in this region, thus this study was conducted to investigate the heavy metal levels of Clams (Egeria radiata) sold in open markets in Port Harcourt (Rivers State) and Yenagoa (Bayelsa State). Samples were collected from three markets in Port Harcourt (Mile 1, Rumuokoro and Mile 3), and three markets as well in Yenagoa (Opolo, Swali and Tombia) respectively. The samples were collected bi-weekly for 3 months and transported to the laboratory for analysis of heavy metals (Cr, Cd and Pb) levels using standard scientific method of analysis. The analysis was done in triplicates for each sample and data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using excel spreadsheet and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. The results revealed that samples collected from markets in Port Harcourt had higher concentrations of heavy metal than that of Yenagoa, though, the heavy metal levels were below World Health Organisation permissible limits, except for Cadmium (Cd) that ranged from 0.54±0.002 to 0.78±0.00 mg/kg in samples collected from Port Harcourt, against 0.5 mg/kg recommended by WHO. This could be attributed to oil and gas exploration, and discharges of industrial and domestic wastes bearing cadmium, and poses serious health risks. Therefore, routine monitoring and assessment of the aquatic ecosystem will be vital to forestall further contamination.

Published: September 2021

Acquiring property for any business is capital intensive and for that matter, strategically managing such assets is considered equally important. This paper provides an analysis of the value-adding attributes of corporate real estate management (CREM) and bank performance in Ghana. The multiple regression method was applied to a cross-section of both primary and secondary data sourced from 25 commercial banks in Ghana. The study shows that the banks identify with the value-adding attributes of corporate real estate asset management even though there are variations in the level of importance to individual banks. These variations are attributable to the unique mandates of the banks. Further analysis shows that CREM has significantly positive impacts on bank profitability by strategies that help to increase innovations, increase productivity, and promote marketing and sales. The finding suggests that optimizing these CREM strategies could help increase bank profits.

Authors: Datta Goutam
Published: September 2021

Objectives: There is limited data regarding feasibility and safety of very large ASD devices deployment. Percutaneous closure of very large atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid alternative to surgical approach.  But complications like erosion, cardiac perforation, atrioventricular block, pericardial effusion, infective endocarditis, or cardiac arrhythmias may occur following ASD device closure.

 Methods: Forty four patients with very large ostium secundum ASD were studied in a tertiary medical centre. Adult patients with defect size of 38 mm or more and device size of 40 mm or more were selected for device closure. Patients having suitable anatomy, significant left to right shunt(>1.5:1) ,right ventricular volume overload and without significant pulmonary arterial hypertension were chosen for device closure.

Results : There were thirty six  female patients and  eight  male patients in our study. Majority of our patients (twenty four) were in forty to fifty years age group. Device could be deployed successfully in forty two (95.5%).  Twelve patients had device size of 46 mm (27%). Eight patients had 44 mm devices(18%). Forty two millimeter devices were used in sixteen patients (36%). Eight  patients had device size of  40 mm(18%).Device embolization occurred in two patients. There were two cases of pericardial effusion and pericardiocentesis was needed in one patients. Transient complete heart block was seen in one patient. Four patients had suffered from transient and self terminating atrial arrhythmias. There was no mortality or erosion in our study.

Conclusion: Percutaneous closure of very large ASD is feasible and associated with low complication rate
The de Winter Pattern as Pre-Anterior ST-Elevation-Myocardial-Infarction. “An Evolution Sequence”: A Case Report
Authors: Tiyantara Muhammad Surya , Herdianto Djoen
Published: September 2021

Introduction: The de Winter pattern (dWP) was first described by de Winter and colleagues in 2008 as static pattern associated with anterior myocardial infarction. A recent study showed the evolution sequence of this pattern into typical ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This case discussed dWP who present as pre-anterior STEMI.

Case Illustration: A-56-year old Male arrived in the emergency room complained chest pain about 3 hours. The patient also complained of diaphoresis, nausea, and fatigue. The patient has a previous history of hypertension. The vital signs were stable with an unremarkable physical examination. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed sinus rhythm with j-point depression followed by prominent T wave in precordial leads, slight ST-segment elevation in aVR, and loss of precordial R-wave progression. The initial-troponin-T was 31 pg/mL. Follow-up 1-hour after initial ECG showed typical ST-segment-elevation in V1-V4. The patient undergoing thrombolytic, followed by angiography that showed subtotal occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, occlusion in the proximal circumflex artery and stenosis in proximal right coronary artery, echocardiography revealed regional wall motion abnormality in the septal and anterior segments and preserved ejection fraction 58%, the patient was discharged after 8-days treated in intensive cardiac care unit.

Conclusion: dWP has been shown as static and dynamic pattern in some conditions and associated with acute LAD occlusion. In this case, we showed dWP as early anterior STEMI, recognition of this pattern lead to early reperfusion and better myocardial salvage as anterior STEMI has a poor outcome.

Published: September 2021

NSTEACS is subset of ACS that may present with a wide degree of stenosis from normal vessels to severe obstruction. Identification of which population of NSTEACS that has normal vessels has attracted a great attention. Several trials on non-invasive imaging such as coronary CT have been largely investigated. Current available trials have showed that coronary CT is accurately identify significant stenosis in patients with NSTEACS thus can be used to rule out the disease and reduce the need and duration of unneeded antithrombotic. However, several limitations of the studies has to be taken into account when translating into clinical practice. Nevertheless, current evidence are showing promising results on the role of coronary CT in management of NSTEACS.

Published: September 2021

The prevalence of stroke in Indonesia increased overtime. CS ranges from 15 to 40% from all ischemic strokes. Finding the etiology of ischemic stroke is important to prevent recurrence. AF is predicted as the etiology behind CS. The current recommendation only supports short period of ECG monitoring. However, studies have shown that a higher detection rate can be achieved with longer duration of monitoring. ICM, a diagnostic tool with the highest detection rate, is still considered cost-effective when the calculation takes into account the QALY gained. Digital health tools such as handheld devices and smartwatch ECG have revolutionized the screening of AF however it is still considered as pre-diagnostic and verification is needed to confirm the rhythm generated.

Authors:   University of Lome, Togo, Yovo Koffi , Ganiyou Ismaïla
Published: September 2021

The low adoption of new technologies, particularly improved seeds, remains a critical issue hampering the development of agriculture in many developing countries. The objective of this research is to identify the determinants of (i) the farmer’s knowledge,( ii) the adoption decision and (iii) the adoption intensity of NERICA rice varieties in the Togolese Savannah region. Probit and Tobit models were used to analyse data collected from 150 rice growers randomly selected. The results of the estimations showed that the knowledge, the adoption decision and the adoption intensity of NERICA are determined by socio-economic and institutional factors. The common factors affecting the knowledge, the adoption decision and the adoption intensity are credit access, extension service and gender. However, the adoption intensity is specifically affected by the rice income, the land ownership and the membership to a farmer’s base organization. These findings suggest the necessity to improve the agricultural credit access, the extension services access and to take gender into account in policies making in order to give men and women the same chances of access to innovations.

COVID-19 pandemic has affected many sectors of life including education. Many countries had implemented the policy on distance learning. Distance education denotes the physical separation of the learner from the instructor, both by time and space. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) including online media are used to bridge the educators and the learners. The distance learning system forced the teacher to shift the traditional teaching method of face-to-face teaching to no-physical contact teaching in all stages of educations such as primary and secondary education, higher and vocational education, and special education. We found that teachers have been applied different strategies based on the unique challenges they faced. According to the COVID-19 situation, teachers from all stages of education have gathered all the solutions that could be applied. So that, it could help students to adapt to distance learning by transforming the traditional learning system to mandate distance learning system like nowadays when COVID-19 positive case could be controlled by contactless only.

The aim of this study is to examine the semantic structures used by mathematics teacher candidates to transform algebraic expressions into verbal problems. The research is a descriptive study in the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research types. The study group of the research consists of 165 teacher candidates studying in the primary school mathematics teaching department of a state university in the south of Turkey in the 2019-2020 academic years. 73.2% of the teacher candidates in the study group are female and 26.8% are male. Criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used in the selection of teacher candidates in the study group. While the Algebraic Expression Questionnaire Form was used as the data collection tool, the evaluation rubric of verbal problems was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that pre-service teachers are more successful in transforming algebraic expressions into verbal problems, but they have problems in creating problems with algebraic expressions that make up systems of equations. Again in the study, it was concluded that pre-service teachers used addition and subtraction problems more than multiplication and division problems. On the other hand, when the problems in the type of addition and subtraction are examined in the study, in the type of combining and separating; It has been concluded that the category of equal groups is mostly used in the problems of multiplication and division.

Authors:   Medipol University, Turkey, Yıldız Nadire Gülçin
Published: September 2021

In recent times, studies focusing on the issue of gifted and talented students in Turkey have gained much traction. However, so far, these appear to have been limited in terms of the intervention strategies they offer. The question of how to respond to the social and emotional issues of gifted and talented students remains an issue, which is a source of debate, based on the experiences on the field and the directions offered by the latest studies. While giftedness is associated with positive thoughts and beliefs, these come a number of challenges that require closer examination. Consequently, the aim of this case study is to discuss the social-emotional issues experienced gifted and talented children, with regards to effective intervention programs which are often overlooked and not thoroughly examined. Determining the type of acceleration practice could be a very subjective decision and possible risk and resources should be analyzed in order to determine what is best for the child’s needs. As outlined by this case study, the proper identification of intervention strategies should respond to the problems experienced by students in the social and emotional realm. The review concludes with recommendations that could help school counselors, families and educators in assisting gifted and talented students, based on existing relevant literature.

Most of Indonesians suffer from dental caries. This is due to bad dental health maintenance. Although in fact, dental caries is a preventable disease. Dental and oral hygiene that is not maintained will cause various dental diseases that will affect general health, although it does not cause death directly, but is also a risk factor for other diseases including: tonsillitis, pharyngitis, otitis media, low birth weight (LBW) , and even heart disease. We undertook this research by evaluating the influence of dental health care towards elementary school children. The subjects are fifth grade in SD Saraswati 4 Denpasar, Indonesia. There are control and intervention groups in this research. The treatment for control group was given leaflet and intervention group was given dental health care with the provision of dental therapist. We evaluate the influence on knowledge, attitude, practice and Debris Index score. The analysis using bivariate test employed Wilcoxon test and univariate test employed Mann-Whitney test. The results show that in intervention group, there is influence of dental health care on knowledge, attitude, practice and Debris Index score of the students. Meanwhile in control group, there is influence on knowledge and attitude but no influence on practice and Debris Index score. Mann-Whitney test shows that there are significant differences in knowledge and attitude, but no significant practice and Debris Index score in intervention and control group. The Debris Index criteria of the intervention group are 100% good with the treatment of dental health care.
A Replicable Identity-Based Intervention Reduces the Black-White Suspension Gap at Scale
Authors: Borman Geoffrey D. , Pyne Jaymes , Rozek Christopher S. , Schmidt Alex
Published: September 2021

Nationally, educators suspend Black students at greater rates than any other group. This disproportionality is fueled by stereotypes casting Black students as “troublemakers”—a label students too often internalize as part of their identities. Across two independent double-blind randomized field trials involving over 2,000 seventh graders in 11 middle schools, we tested the efficacy of a brief intervention to buffer students from stereotypes and mitigate the racial suspension gap. The self-affirmation intervention helps students access positive aspects of their identities less associated with troublemaking in school. Confirmed in both trials, treatment effects cut Black-White suspension and office disciplinary referral gaps during seventh and eighth grade by approximately two thirds, with even greater impacts for Black students with prior infractions.
How Do Parents Evaluate and Select Schools? Evidence From a Survey Experiment
Authors: Haderlein Shira Alicia Korn
Published: September 2021

As parents are increasingly given flexibility to enroll their children in a school of their choice, understanding parents’ preferences for school qualities is essential. Using a randomized survey experiment, this study adds to the existing literature by assessing parents’ preferences in a controlled environment, where they can be isolated from information asymmetries and constraints. Results suggest that achievement matters to parents but status matters more when evaluating quality and growth matters more when choosing between schools. Additionally, student demographics affect both parents’ perception of school quality and their likelihood of selecting into a school. This article has important implications for the theory and practice of accountability as it offers new insights on parents’ latent preferences for school qualities.

Authors: Rodgers Wendy J. , Morris-Mathews Hannah , Romig John Elwood , Bettini Elizabeth
Published: September 2021

Classroom observation research plays an important role in policy, practice, and scholarship for students with disabilities. When interpreting results of observation studies, it is important to consider the validity evidence provided by researchers and how that speaks to the intended use of those results. In this literature synthesis, we used Kane’s argument-based approach to validity to describe evidence of validity for uses of observation instruments in classroom observation research regarding teachers of students with disabilities. We identified 102 studies from 1975 to 2020 that met inclusion criteria. Results indicated many studies did not report validity evidence to support their use of the observation instruments. Over time, reporting levels for much of the evidence has remained relatively constant, but we noted a consistent decrease in number of observations conducted per teacher and a consistent and large increase in reporting of teacher participant characteristics. We provide implications of this for research and practice and suggestions for improving classroom observation research.

The League of Matteo Salvini
Authors: Zulianello Mattia
Published: September 2021

The Lega Nord (LN – Northern League) has undergone a profound process of transformation since 2013, byreplacing its historical regionalist populism with a new state-wide populist radical right outlook. However,very little is known about how such transformation impacted its organizational model, particularly the masspartyfeatures that characterized it under its founding leader, Umberto Bossi. This article explores theorganizational evolution of the party under Matteo Salvini by means of a qualitative in-depth analysis of 41semi-structured interviews with representatives of the League from four regions (Calabria, Emilia-Romagna,Lombardy and Veneto) and primary documents. It underlines that the LN was turned into a disempoweredand politically inactive “bad company”, charged with the task of paying the debts of the old party, while itsstructure, resources and personnel were poured into a new state-wide organization called League for SalviniPremier. This new League has not simply maintained the key features of the mass-party in the LN’s historicalstrongholds but also pioneered a modern form of this organizational model grounded on the continuousinteraction between digital and physical activism, i.e. phygital activism, which boosts the party’s ability toreach out to the electorate by delivering the image that the League is constantly on the ground. The Leaguehas sought to export this modern interpretation of the mass-party in the South; however, in that area itsorganizational development remains at an embryonic stage, and the party’s nationalization strategy has sofar produced a “quasi-colonial” structure dominated by, and dependent on, the Northern elite.

Published: September 2021

Inner Ambon bay is a shallow and narrow waters that serve as the location of floating net aquaculture systems, but its water quality is threatened by depositional. This research is aimed at knowing depositional rate, its effect to carrying capacity of marine environment that indicated by water quality, and to formulate environmental management strategies. Depositional rate assessed by calculating the rate of suspension sediment discharge from river, potential erosion estimates with USLE method, satellite imagery analysis of year 2004 and 2012, rate of water flow analysis from outer Ambon bay to inner Ambon bay, as well as bathymetric data analysis of year 2008 and 2012. To determine the water quality, sampling and laboratory test as well as scoring, weighting and matching was did to parameters, that is turbidity, DO, pH, brightness, temperature, TSS, TDS, gross primer productivity and nett primer productivity, while its environmental management strategies studied by causal approach. The research finding showed that depositional rate from suspension sediment discharge calculation and unit convertion of Wae Heru river and Wae Tonahitu river is 1.7 cm/year, while the class of potential erosion at the Wae Heru and Wae Tonahitu river mouth, both of them is very light (<15 tons/hectare/year). Satellite imagery analysis showed that depositional rate at Wae Heru and Wae Tonahitu mouth river is 2445 square meters/year and 1459.625 square meters/year respectively. Through complementary data, that is the rate of water flow analysis obtained that rate of water flow to inner Ambon bay is 84 cm/s, whereas bathymetric analysis show a reduction in water depth is 13.9 cm/year. Results of water quality analysis indicates that the carrying capacity of waters are in the medium class, as well as refer to depositional rate and water quality, so environmental management strategy is focused on the management of upstream rivers, midstream rivers, downstream rivers, riparian and coastal area.

While the Algebraic Expression Questionnaire Form was used as the data collection tool, the evaluation rubric of verbal problems was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that pre-service teachers are more successful in transforming algebraic expressions into verbal problems, but they have problems in creating problems with algebraic expressions that make up systems of equations. Again in the study, it was concluded that pre-service teachers used addition and subtraction problems more than multiplication and division problems. On the other hand, when the problems in the type of addition and subtraction are examined in the study, in the type of combining and separating; It has been concluded that the category of equal groups is mostly used in the problems of multiplication and division.

Distance education denotes the physical separation of the learner from the instructor, both by time and space. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) including online media are used to bridge the educators and the learners. The distance learning system forced the teacher to shift the traditional teaching method of face-to-face teaching to no-physical contact teaching in all stages of educations such as primary and secondary education, higher and vocational education, and special education. We found that teachers have been applied different strategies based on the unique challenges they faced. According to the COVID-19 situation, teachers from all stages of education have gathered all the solutions that could be applied. So that, it could help students to adapt to distance learning by transforming the traditional learning system to mandate distance learning system like nowadays when COVID-19 positive case could be controlled by contactless only.

A Case Study Review on Social-Emotional Problems Affecting Gifted and Talented Students
Authors: Yıldız Nadire Gülçin
Published: September 2021

In recent times, studies focusing on the issue of gifted and talented students in Turkey have gained much traction. However, so far, these appear to have been limited in terms of the intervention strategies they offer. The question of how to respond to the social and emotional issues of gifted and talented students remains an issue, which is a source of debate, based on the experiences on the field and the directions offered by the latest studies. While giftedness is associated with positive thoughts and beliefs, these come a number of challenges that require closer examination. Consequently, the aim of this case study is to discuss the social-emotional issues experienced gifted and talented children, with regards to effective intervention programs which are often overlooked and not thoroughly examined. Determining the type of acceleration practice could be a very subjective decision and possible risk and resources should be analyzed in order to determine what is best for the child’s needs. As outlined by this case study, the proper identification of intervention strategies should respond to the problems experienced by students in the social and emotional realm. The review concludes with recommendations that could help school counselors, families and educators in assisting gifted and talented students, based on existing relevant literature.

Authors: Ledford Jennifer R.
Published: September 2021

Interruption and redirection (IR) procedures involve systematically disrupting an undesirable behavior and prompting an individual to engage in an alternative behavior (e.g., Ahearn et al., 2007). These procedures have been frequently assessed for reducing stereotypy for autistic individuals. The purposes of this review were to determine (a) for whom and under what conditions physical and verbal IR procedures are assessed; (b) what outcomes are measured; (c) whether results vary by intervention characteristics, dependent variable types, design quality, and publication status; and (d) the extent to which generalization and maintenance outcomes are measured and show positive effects. IR interventions were moderately successful for reducing stereotypy but were less effective for improving appropriate vocalizations and functional engagement. Generalization and maintenance outcomes, when measured, were poor. Results indicate the need for alternative or augmentative procedures that focus on engagement in meaningful interactions and activities.
