Intergenerational transmission of education and mental health
Authors:   , Demange Perline Aline Delle
Published: September 2023

Education and mental health shape individuals’ wellbeing and their opportunities in life. Understanding the relationship between these two domains and their intergenerational transmission is valuable for researchers, policy makers, and society as a whole. With this doctoral dissertation, I tried to further our understanding of the causes of individual differences in educational outcomes, their relationship with mental health, and their co-intergenerational transmission. In my research I worked with observational data in large samples, triangulating across several genetically-informed designs to study genetic and environmental transmissions.
A JUSTICIABILIDADE DO DIREITO SOCIAL À EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Viella Milene Cristina da Costa , Silva Juvêncio Borges
Published: September 2023

Esse artigo buscou artigo uma discussão e reflexão acerca da justiciabilidade do direito à educação, considerando tratar-se de direito fundamental social que demanda uma atuação positiva do Estado na elaboração e execução de políticas públicas voltadas à efetivação da educação e o desenvolvimento da personalidade humana e do avanço econômico e social do país. Neste sentido, buscamos demarcar a possibilidade e o dever de intervenção do Poder Judiciário sobre políticas públicas voltadas aos direitos fundamentais, com base nos aportes teóricos de Barcellos (2008) e a crítica à teoria da constituição apresentada pela autora.  Consideramos com este estudo, a partir dos apontamentos de Bucci (2006), Duarte (2007) e Taporosky (2017), que o cenário de progressivo desmantelamento de políticas públicas educacionais e dos propósitos sociais e igualitários insculpidos na Constituição Federal de 1988 mostra que o Poder Público não pode se omitir no cumprimento dos direitos sociais, ainda que sob o argumento de que se tratam de normas programáticas ou em razão da escassez de recursos para o atendimento das demandas sociais. Tendo em vista que em um país desigual como o Brasil, fundado sobre estruturas de poder como o racismo, sexismo e sobre a miserabilidade de parte da população, as discussões sobre o controle jurídico e jurisdicional de políticas públicas não podem ser polarizadas em torno de possibilidade versus impossibilidade.

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC DIVERSITY BETWEEN BRASSICA NAPUS AND BRASSICA JUNCEA BASED ON PHENOTYPIC TRAITS
Authors: LAGHARI S.R.
Published: September 2023

Rapeseed and mustard crops’ extensive promotion for crop diversification and their potential to favorably respond to breeding programs depends on their existing nature and the magnitude of genetic variability. Therefore, the progressive research sought to estimate the genetic diversity of 40 genotypes of Brassica napus (20) and Brassica juncea (20) based on phenotypic characters. The material, grown in randomized complete block design, had three replications during winter 2020– 2021. The mean square from analysis of variance demonstrated significant differences for all the parameters among examined varieties, indicating that utilized material contained sufficient genetic variability. Regarding average performance, two mustard genotypes, Dhoom-I and Anmol Raya, performed better for seed yield plant-1 and can undergo assessment in upcoming breeding programs for enhancing seed yield. Meanwhile, high heritability occurred in oil content, silique length, 1000-seed index weight, and plant height. Diversity analysis, cluster mean, and total divergence contribution revealed maximum differences for various traits and possessed noteworthy sources for future breeding programs. The magnitude of cluster distance indicated that cluster VI comprised two mustard genotypes (Early Raya and Sindh Raya) and cluster IV consisted of three rapeseed genotypes (Rohi Sarson, hyola-401, and Kn-277), demonstrating that maximum distance is more diverse and helpful for upcoming heterotic recombination. Comparing genetic variation between rapeseed and mustard genotypes showed that rapeseed genotypes displayed more genetic variability in the first three components of PCA than its counterpart, yet expressing that mustard genotypes also have enormous valuable genetic resources. Similarly, genotypes Rohi Sarson, hyola-401, and Kn-277 resulted in the highest genotypic scores in three-dimensional graphs; hence, these genotypes are more diverse and can benefit future hybridization programs.
MICROMORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL RESPONSES OF NATIVE DICOTS TO INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS RELEASED FROM CONTAMINATED REGION OF THE CHENAB RIVER IN PAKISTAN
Authors: ABBAS T.
Published: September 2023

Faisalabad industrial units discharge effluents and associated toxic chemicals into the environment, deteriorating ecological conditions and ecosystem health. Morphoanatomical changes in some medicinally important native species (Calotropis procera, Eclipta alba, Phyla nodiflora, and Ranunculus sceleratus) exposed to heavy industrial pollution gained evaluation. These species of choice were due to their widespread distribution in the area. Ten sites selected in the River Chenab, Chiniot, had three near point source pollution of Faisalabad industries within the 500-m radius (polluted) at three drains and two sites inside the river after each drain point source with the control site at 14 km after from the first industrial drain point source. The general response of all plants to effluents was growth retardation. Plant height increased significantly in all species from river sites. An increase in tallness was more prominent in species like C. procera and P. nodiflora. An increase in stem sclerification in C. procera and E. alba from polluted sites occurred, which indicated a better ability to tolerate industrial pollution. Remarkable increases in stem and leaf epidermis, intensive stem sclerenchyma, and closely packed stem vascular bundles in C. procera appeared, which could increase resistance to industrial pollution. Most of the morphoanatomical parameters notably attained a decrease in E. alba, the most vulnerable species. Plant survival depends on particular structural changes in dermal, mechanical, parenchymatous, and vascular tissues. Overall, industrial pollution adversely impacts plant morphological and micromorphological features, although the reaction of specific species to industrial contamination varies. The study determined that stem and leaf anatomical features, such as, epidermis size and storage tissue thickness, are suitable morphoanatomical markers for industrial pollution biomonitoring. Internal modifications of plants vegetating different industrial contaminated sites played a significant role in high tolerance levels.
GREENHOUSE COST INDEX METHODOLOGY BASED ON THE DIVERSE REGIONS OF IRAQ
Authors: AL-ASADI H.H.
Published: September 2023

Greenhouses have become widespread structures that create an ideal microclimate for growing crops worldwide. A greenhouse is a structure that allows people to regulate climatic conditions, such as, temperature and humidity. There are many different designs of greenhouses, but generally, these buildings include large areas of transparent material to capture the light and heat of the sun. They also offer protection from unfavorable weather conditions and pests, providing a popular solution for crop production worldwide, including Iraq, which uses alternative energy sources for climate control. Using machine learning models has helped design different greenhouse types; however, their ability to predict costs and designs based on features is yet to exist. Therefore, to address these issues, this study aimed to develop cost-effective and user-friendly greenhouse systems through two different approaches: Firstly, the use of random forests (RFs) model with the highest precision (0.99) formulated the cost of the greenhouse for new input data to calculate a greenhouse cost estimate based on the system's performance as a benchmark while selecting the greenhouse's features through training and testing, and secondly, the use of the farmer's desired price as a basis for developing a greenhouse design. This scientific approach will enable the farming community to manage the costs of various aspects, such as, building materials, energy sources, climate control devices, water and fertilizer delivery, growing substrates, internal logistics, and labor. The presented research will provide farmers with a practical basis that also considers the constraints, i.e., the economy, climate, law, market, and resource availability. It will empower the farmers to make the right decisions regarding greenhouse systems with their specific requirements and circumstances.
ALGINATE BEADS UTILIZATION FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE OF MICROALGAL ISOLATES
Authors: AL-SOMEIDAE T.A.
Published: September 2023

Microalgae reckon one of the most promising organisms due to their numerous applications in biotechnology, such as, their biomass utilization to extract various primary and secondary metabolites. These compounds benefit the food and pharmaceutical industries and the energy field, such as, biofuel and hydrogen gas production. Therefore, it is necessary to find various sustainable ways to actively preserve the isolates and productive strains with purity for an extended period without affecting their genetic characteristics and productive ability to grow and regenerate. The latest study aimed to compress several microalgae to form alginate beads using sodium alginate with five types of pure algal cultures, i.e., Scenedesmus quadricauda, Scenedesmus dimorphus, Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorococcum humicola, and Chlamydomonas sp. The vitality and activity of all the strains studied through the storage period showed the success of preparing alginate beads and staying viable for 18 months at 4 °C in the refrigerator under dark conditions. Therefore, encapsulating microalgae with sodium alginate is a possible and helpful method for preserving algae isolates for a prolonged period in a pure form. The survival of algae in alginate beads is an essential step to apply in the future as one of the viable methods to preserve pure algae isolates for a long time.

Authors: KASHIF M.
Published: September 2023

Wheat is a globally significant cereal crop crucial for ensuring food security. Plant breeders strive to enhance yield potential by developing optimized and stable genotypes. In Pakistan, an agricultural country facing food security challenges, annual multi-environment trials (MET)’s systematic conduct transpire across various research stations in Punjab province. Precise data analysis of these trials is paramount in strengthening the national agricultural research system. The primary objective of this study was to identify stable wheat genotypes by analyzing data from MET trials in 31 distinct environments within the Punjab province during 2020–2021. The study comprised 50 wheat genotypes laid out under an alpha lattice design. The collected data underwent an analysis based on additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) in combination with other stability measures. The findings revealed that genotype G41 (HYT100-27) exhibited superior performance, ranking within the top five across all five stability measures. Likewise, G27 (TWS17042) and G22 (HYT100-100) genotypes have four stability measures recommending these. Notably, G1 (HYT100-74) demonstrated the highest average yield across all locations and gained support from two additional stability measures. Therefore, G41, G27, G22, and G1 emerged as the most stable and productive genotypes among all those studied. Regarding the environments, MLSI proved the most desirable, followed by RARL. Conversely, the ARFG and ARFK resulted as the least ideal environments.

Authors: MAJEED R.E.
Published: September 2023

The presented study sought to use the plant growth-promoting microorganism (PGPM) as a biofertilizer in maize (Zea mays L.) seeds and determine its effects on the growth and productivity of maize, with two levels of mineral fertilizer (25% and 50% of chemical fertilizer) under Iraqi conditions. Laboratory studies confirmed no antagonism between Azotobacter chroococcum and other microorganisms used in this study. Field experiments carried out during crop season 2021 were in two different regions, Mosul (36°20′6″N, 43°7′8″E) and Kirkuk (35°28′5.02″N, 44°23′31.99″E) in the north of Iraq. The result showed biofertilizer superiority when combined with 25% and 50% doses of the recommended mineral fertilizer for maize growth and yield traits in the experiments in both locations. In Kirkuk city, the biofertilizer combined with 25% chemical fertilizer recorded superiority without significant difference from the biofertilizer combined with 50% mineral fertilizer. However, in Mosul city, the biofertilizer combined with 50% chemical fertilizer expressed a more superior and significant difference than other treatments for growth and yield traits in maize. The difference between the two regions might be due to chemical fertilizer residues in the soil.

Authors: ALAARAGE S.S.
Published: September 2023

A field experiment done in the spring of 2022 on Sorghum bicolor L. cultivars with different nitrogen and biofertilizer fertilizer regimes proceeded at the Ibn-Al-Bitar Vocational Preparatory School, District Al-Hussainiya, Holy Governorate of Kerbala. Sowing in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with a factorial experiment and three replications took place in the third week of March 2022, and harvesting in the third week of July 2022. The trial included two factors; the first had three sorghum cultivars (V1 = Al-Khair, V2 = Rabeh, and V3 = Bohuth 70). The second factor was combinations of nitrogen and biofertilizers, i.e., F0 = the complete dose of nitrogen fertilizer (320 kg N ha-1 ); F1 = 3/4 nitrogen fertilizer + Azotobacter; F2 = 1/2 nitrogen fertilizer + Azotobacter; F3 = 1/4 nitrogen fertilizer + Azotobacter, and F4 = Azotobacter with no nitrogen fertilizer. The results showed the superiority of cultivar Bohuth 70 for the traits yield per plant (116.2 g plant-1 ) and nitrogen, phosphorus, and protein percentages in grains (2.212%, 0.3212%, and 13.82%, respectively). Cultivar Al-Khair excelled in total chlorophyll, ash, and potassium percentages in grains (1.057 mg g-1 , 2.165%, and 2.085%, respectively). As for the interaction, the combined treatments V3F0 excelled in the traits of yield per plant (134.4 g plant-1 ), nitrogen (2.610%), and protein percentages (16.31%), while the interaction of V1F3 performed better for the variables ash and potassium percentages (2.600% and 2.160%, respectively). However, the reaction of V3F1 surpassed phosphorus and potassium percentages (0.3615% and 2.160%). The research happened to know the extent to reducing the quantities of recommended chemical nitrogen fertilizers and their effect on the qualitative.

PLANT SEGREGATION AND POLLEN CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGHLAND PAPAYA (VASCONCELLEA PUBESCENS A.DC.) BASED ON SEX TYPES
Authors: LAILY A.N.
Published: September 2023

Highland papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC.) is a member of the family Caricaceae and native to Ecuador. The plant’s introduction and cultivation were successful in specific highland areas of Indonesia but with limited growing areas. V. pubescens has monoecious and dioecious characteristics and allows fruit production from female dioecious and monoecious plants. This plant is valuable, and the knowledge about its sex pattern, though still limited, is crucial for its efficiency, productivity, and development. Hence, the presented study aimed to explain the patterns of plant segregation, as well as, pollen morphology and germination based on sex in V. pubescens. The investigations began by recognizing the total population of V. pubescens in its cultivated area for grouping and mapping according to sex. Observations on the pollen characteristics, such as, morphology and germination, used light microscopy and a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results revealed that the basis for plant segregation pattern depended on sex in male and female dioecious and monoecious plants of V. pubescens (1:5:1). In both sexes, the pollen morphological characteristics showed that the unit of monads, prolate spheroidal, radial, tricolporate, isopolar, reticulate, and P/E index of male dioecious pollen was 0.70, while monoecious was 0.52. Anthers and pollen grains from the male plant were round, but those of monoecious elongate more. However, no significant differences occurred among the sexes for pollens. The pollen grains from male flowers on male dioecious plants showed faster germination than monoecious individual plants, having a difference of 25.14 days.

Authors: Osadolor Obehi. O
Published: September 2023

Background: Hall technique involves cementing preformed metal crowns or stainless steel crowns on the tooth with the use of luting glass ionomer cements, without the use of local anaesthesia, caries removal and tooth preparation of any kind. It can be an intervention to stop the progression of active untreated carious lesion in primary molar teeth among African children. This article reviews the available studies on Hall technique used for the management of carious primary molar teeth among African children.

Method: An electronic literature search in Web of science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, African journals online, ResearchGate and Google was conducted in June, 2023 using the Population-Concept-Context framework. Search terms and keywords were combined by Boolean operators. Three independent investigators (research assistants) screened titles, abstracts and full text of publications. The inclusion criteria were original research articles, case report, case series related to Hall technique for the management of carious primary molar teeth studies conducted in African continent, published in English language and in electronic databases.

Results: Four articles were included as they were assessed to meet the aim of the review. The study design of the articles was three randomised controlled clinical trial and one case report. One study was identified each from Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria and Sudan respectively. All the identified studies in African continent were hospital based.

Conclusion: Hall technique can be an intervention for management of carious primary molar teeth in resource poor locality in Africa and globally. Studies on Hall technique for the management of carious primary molar teeth identified in Africa were few and restricted to few countries.

Historische Rahmenbedingungen der Deutschen Einigung von 1871
Authors: Kraus Hans-Christof
Published: September 2023

Der Aufsatz stellt die deutsche Reichsgründung von 1871 in den Kontext der Nationalstaatsbildungen in Europa seit Beginn der Frühen Neuzeit. Das Deutsche Reich, begründet als ein fester Zusammenschluss der deutschen Bundesstaaten mit Ausnahme Österreichs, schaffte es tatsächlich, einen historischen Ausgleich zwischen den partikularen Traditionen und den neueren Einheitsbestrebungen in Deutschland zu erreichen. Die hierdurch bewirkten Integrationsprozesse politischer, sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Natur festigten und stärkten den mitteleuropäischen Raum, beseitigten die durch übermäßige politische Fragmentierung bewirkten früheren Schwächen, schufen aber bis 1914 auch kein „zu starkes“ Deutschland, wie spätere verfehlte Deutungen behaupteten. Auf den Integrationsleistungen der Jahrzehnte nach 1871 beruht im Kern auch noch das heutige, seit 1990 wiedervereinigte Deutschland.

Authors: Benjamin Lizy Sonia , Mohammed Kawther Eltayeb Ahmed
Published: September 2023

Background: Test anxiety is defined as an individual’s response to stimuli associated with their experiences in testing or evaluative situations.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between test anxiety and the academic performance of nursing college students.
Methods: We conducted a descriptive correlational study, selecting a sample of 98 nursing students through convenient sampling at a selected nursing college in Kerala, India. Data were collected using various tools, including a background variable proforma, a proforma for evaluating the academic achievement of nursing students, and the Westside Test Anxiety Scale. 
Results: Our findings revealed a statistically significant negative correlation (r=-0.4) between test anxiety and academic performance (p<0.05). This suggests that reducing test anxiety can lead to an improvement in academic performance.
Conclusions: There is a need to plan psychological interventions aimed at reducing test anxiety and enhancing the academic performance of students. These interventions should be integrated at the policy level of academic performance management.

Published: September 2023

Background: Meningitis and encephalitis are important causes of admissions and mortality in Zambia. Apart from bacterial causes, no data is available on viral agents that cause disease at the Children's Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. We conducted a prospective descriptive study to determine the viral and bacterial causes of encephalitis and meningitis in children aged 1-59 months.

Methods: From November 2016 to February 2018, we collected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and clinical details from children admitted to the inpatient wards with encephalitis and meningitis. Macroscopic examination, microscopy, bacterialculture and real-time (Multiplex) PCR were performed on the CSF samples.

Results: A total of 106 patients were enrolled. The median age was 10 months and 81 (76.4%) had meningitis while 25 (23.6%) had encephalitis. One (0.9%) participant had Haemophilus influenzae detected by both culture and PCR. Two (1.9%) had Neisseria meningitidis while 5 (4.7%) had Streptococcus pneumoniae detected only by PCR. Viruses were detected in 26.4% (28/106) and 64% had meningitis. The viral agents detected were: EBV (10%); Parvovirus B19, Human herpes virus type 6, Human herpes virus type 7 and CMV at 2.8% each. A raised CSF WBC was associated with the case definition (P=0.01) of meningitis. Patients with meningitis were more likely to be alive at discharge than those with encephalitis (OR = 3.6, CI = 1.96 – 6.68, P-value <0.001).

Conclusions: Viral infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are the commonest causes of both encephalitis and meningitis at the Children's Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia.

Authors: Sholikhah Taufiq Hidayati , Soesilo Nining I.
Published: September 2023

In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in transactions of various non-cash payment channels, it is necessary to have an infrastructure that is able to integrate transactions originating from debit cards, credit cards, and electronic money in one door, through the standardization of the Quick Response Code (QR Code). In this paper, it will evaluate the impact of the implementation of the QRIS standardization policy on Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) turnover based on the business scale and economic sector of the business. The research was conducted by observing two groups, namely, the treatment group (UMKM using QRIS) and the control group (umKM not using the policy) in two time periods namely before and after the adoption of the policy. The test results per business sector showed significant results for the whole, micro-scale as well as processing/secondary economic sectors where there was a significant positive impact (P0.5) affecting turnover growth in MSMEs that adopted QRIS, compared to those that did not adopt QRIS. The QRIS implementation program can be continued and expanded in scope.

Fish is a vital source of animal protein and micronutrients for many communities (rural and urban). It could be the cause of serious Toxi-infection with health consequences if handled in unsanitary conditions. The goal of this study aims to assess the hygienic and microbiological quality of dried fish and smoked fish sold in the various markets in the town of Abéché. A total of 30 samples of dried and smoked fish were collected from the vendors surveyed. Germs sought were counted in the laboratory according to the standard method of microbiology. There most of the respondents are female with 96.67%; 93.33% of them are married. The average age of respondents is between 26 and 35 and more than half (56.57%) are uneducated. The average load of dried fish in the three markets is 4.60 X 107 CFU/g for FAMT; 7.33 X 105 CFU/g for CT; 2.87 X 104 CFU/g for CTT; 1 CFU/g for Staphylococcus aureus. On the other hand, for smoked fish, the average varies between 6.81 X 107 CFU/g for FAMT; 2.28 X 106 CFU/g for CT; 1.56 X 105 CFU/g for CTT and 1 CFU/g for yeasts and molds. Enumeration of staphylococci in the three (3) samples gave high values in the range of 14 to 90 CFU/g. Additionally, the level of contamination by total mesophilic aerobic flora is 74.67% for dried fish and 36.33% for smoked fish. Therefore, it is necessary to follow up when fish processing to reduce the level of contamination by flora microbial.
