Published: June 2024

This study aims to understand how students feel about the learning process in their classrooms. In this research, 20 students were interviewed to explore the variability in their level of curiosity towards learning materials. The results show that students' attitudes towards learning tend to vary; sometimes they feel very interested in learning, while at other times, they do not feel interested at all. Factors influencing students' feelings towards learning include how interesting they find the topic, their confidence in their academic abilities, their perception of the importance of the learning, and the support they receive from their teachers in sparking their interest in learning. The research highlights that students' disinterest in learning may be caused by several factors, such as the lack of interest in the topics taught, student fatigue, or a lack of understanding of the relevance of the material. Therefore, the study suggests that teachers need to create more engaging learning experiences and demonstrate the usefulness of the material in order to enhance students' interest in learning.

Authors: Almuqbil Nora
Published: June 2024

Cardiovascular inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular complications, highlighting the importance of accurate detection methods. While traditional diagnostic tests have limitations in specificity and timing, 18-Fluoro-Deoxyglucose- Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) imaging offers a non invasive approach to visualise inflammation. Radiomics, the extraction of quantitative features from medical images for analysis with machine learning algorithms, presents an opportunity to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET imaging in detecting cardiac inflammation. Studies investigating radiomics in various cardiovascular inflammatory conditions, including Cardiac Sarcoidosis (CS), Infective Endocarditis (IE), and active aortitis, have shown promising results in improving diagnostic performance. The review discusses the challenges and potentials of radiomics in cardiovascular imaging, emphasising the need for standardisation and validation in advancing personalised diagnosis and treatment strategies for cardiovascular inflammation.

Authors: Karimi Kennedy John Mwangi , Rotich Titus , Kimani Charles Wahogo
Published: June 2024

Understanding cellular function and treating a variety of physiological and pathological disorders depend heavily on the numerical analysis of ion transport dynamics in animal cells. Maintaining cell volume, producing electrical impulses, and controlling cellular functions all depend on the movement of ions like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride across cell membranes. An overview of the partial differential equations (PDEs) and numerical techniques used to solve them is provided in this work, which represents the mathematical modelling of ion transport dynamics.
Ion concentration variations within cells and in the extracellular environment are described both spatially and temporally using PDEs. These formulas connect ion transport rates to  parameters including ion channel kinetics, ion concentration gradients, and membrane potential. These equations are applied over multiple disciplines including biophysics, physiology, and biology.
Analytical solutions to these PDEs are frequently difficult or unavailable, and therefore numerical techniques are essential to their solution. Various numerical approaches, such as finite difference, finite element, and spectral methods, are applied to discretize the PDEs and estimate the solutions. The accuracy, computational efficiency, and stability of these approaches vary, which makes them appropriate for various ion transport models and computational capacities.
This work offers a thorough analysis of the numerical techniques available for solving the mathematical models used to describe the dynamics of ion transport in animal cells. It goes over the benefits and drawbacks of various numerical methods and how to use them to research ion transport in health and illness. As a whole, this research emphasizes how crucial numerical analysis is to improving our knowledge of cellular physiology and creating ion transport pathway-focused treatment approaches.

Published: June 2024

Sea surface temperature (SST) serves as a fundamental parameter influencing numerous oceanic processes, and its measurement is facilitated by various remote sensing platforms operating at different scales. In Nha Trang Bay, SST emerges as a pivotal state variable for scrutinizing climate change dynamics by using dataset of Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (MUR SST). Over recent years, the annual mean SST in Nha Trang's waters has exhibited an upward trend, registering a notable increase of 0.4°C from the period spanning 2008-2013 to 2014-2018. However, beginning in 2019 up to the present (July 2023), SST has displayed marked fluctuations, characterized by considerable complexity and heightened values. These fluctuations are largely attributed to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, which exert a substantial influence on SST patterns in Nha Trang Bay. Consequently, these shifts in SST have had significant consequences for the bay's biota. Understanding and mitigating these effects are crucial for safeguarding the ecological integrity of Nha Trang Bay amid ongoing climatic variability.

Published: June 2024

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the world and left significant effects on lives, health, economy and society. Existing records point to how previous pandemics significantly impacted adolescent sexual and reproductive health. This study examined the effects of COVID-19 on the utilization of family planning services among adolescents in Tamale Metropolis. An analytical cross-sectional design with a quantitative research approach was employed. A total of 286 participants were randomly sampled for the study. From the results, 62.8% were aware of family planning services that targeted adolescents, however, 37.0% did not know where adolescent-friendly family planning services were provided. Patronage of family planning services was slow as evidenced by the 31.8% prevalence of family planning method usage and 27.8% regular users of family planning services before the COVID-19 pandemic, and got worse during the pandemic. Most of the adolescents in this study were unable to access family planning services during the COVID-19 period. It also emerged that 19% of the participants were denied family planning services during the pandemic. Adolescents had a high unmet need for family planning before the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation was worsened due to the effects of the pandemic. The use of technology including the use of social media, mobile apps, helplines, WhatsApp groups, and hotlines was recommended to solve the issue of inaccessibility and unavailability of family planning services and community distribution of contraceptives to check the unavailability of contraceptives during pandemics.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is a colonizer of the nasal cavities of humans and can cause various infections under favourable conditions. A causal relationship between ambient air pollution and antibiotic resistance is beginning to unfold.
Aim: The present study aimed to provide information on the prevalence and resistance pattern of S. aureus obtained from hospitalized patients living in a gas flaring location.
Methodology: Nasal swab samples were obtained from 40 patients hospitalised and living in a gas flaring environment. Microbiological isolation and identification methods were utilized to identify Staphylococcus aureus. Antibiotic sensitivity was assessed for each of the isolate to various commonly prescribed antibiotics s as recommended by CLSI using the disk-diffusion method.
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was determined using cefoxitin disc and oxacillin containing agar.
Results: A total of 40 (100%) Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from the nasal swabs of hospitalized patients. A 72.5 %, 67.5% and 47.5% resistance of the isolates to penicillin, amoxicillin and cloxacillin was found when the samples were tested against these antibiotics. The percentage prevalence of 67.5% of S. aureus isolate were methicillin resistant by the cefoxitin disc method. This method was found to be more authentic than oxacillin disc methods. Multidrug resistance was
observed in 75.0% of isolates.
Conclusion: This high prevalence observed may not only be associated with misuse of antibiotics but may have been influenced by gas flaring activities, as the link between pollution and increased resistance has been provided in some earlier studies. We therefore join the call to end gas flaring.

This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and adoption of Orobanche management practices among FCV tobacco farmers in Andhra Pradesh. The survey was conducted in twenty-four villages of two mandals, involving a total of 240 respondents. Data was collected by personnel /telephonic interview method through semi structured interview schedule designed for the study. Statistical tools viz., frequency, percentage, Friedman's two-way ANOVA and regression analysis were used in the data analysis. Results show that 72% of farmers have low level of knowledge and low level of adoption (70%) orobanche,. Although most farmers are familiar with the symptoms of Orobanche infestation, implementation of management strategies such as crop rotation and use of resistant varieties is still limited. High labour wages, availability of labour, lack of knowledge on means of spread orobanche, poor phyto sanitary measures and physical removal of orobanche after flowering were the major constraints for management of orobancheThis research indicates an urgent need for more intensive outreach and training programs to increase adoption of appropriate management practices. Tobacco Board, ICAR-CTRI, and Trade should initiate efforts for fostering the adoption of integrated Orobanche management practices It is hoped that these findings can encourage policies that focus more on educating farmers to increase sustainable tobacco production.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a crucial global food source, necessitating enhanced production to meet increasing demand. This study, conducted at GBPUA&T, Pantnagar, US Nagar, India, explores the impact of foliar-applied zinc (Zn) combined with chelators—methionine, histidine, and citric acid—on the growth and yield of wheat cultivar PBW343. Eight treatment combinations involving two Zn levels (1135 ppm and 1702.5 ppm) and three chelators were tested at three growth stages (30, 45, and 60 days after emergence). Results indicated that Zn application significantly increased flag leaf dimensions, total aboveground dry matter, grain yield, biological yield, thousand seed weight, and harvest index. Higher Zn concentration (1702.5 ppm) with methionine chelator yielded the maximum increases: flag leaf length and width increased by 6.2% and 5.7%, respectively; total dry matter increased by 1.6% and 2.6% at maximum tillering and flowering stages, respectively; grain yield and biological yield rose by 11.3% and 10.3% over control, respectively. The study underscores the efficacy of combining Zn with methionine to enhance Zn uptake, boost enzymatic activity, and improve overall wheat productivity. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing nutrient management practices to ensure sustainable wheat production.

Background: Typhoid fever is an endemic disease in developing countries, especially throughout Asia and Africa, which may lead to life-threatening conditions in the absence of adequate treatment.
Objective: This study was aimed at determining the in vitro activity of the crude extracts, fractions and compounds of Impatiens burtonii against drug sensitive and multidrug-resistant Salmonella strains.
Methods: Moreover, the modes of action of the most active compound, cerevisterol (1) were investigated on Salmonella TyphiATCC6539.The in vitro antisalmonella activity of the samples was evaluated by the broth microdilution method. Catalase Activity was done by measuring the high of the foam in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Bacteriolysis, time kill-assay, nucleic acid and protein leakage potential of cerevisterol were carried out through spectrophotometric methods. Finally, time kill-assay and proton-ATPase pump activity were determined by bacterial count and pH measurement, respectively.
Results: The In vitro antisalmonella activity revealed that the hydroethanolic 75% crude extract of Impatiens burtonii showed the highest antisalmonella activity, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 32 to 512 μg/mL. Among the fractions of that extract, the dichloromethane (DM) fraction exhibited the highest activity, with MIC ranging from 16 to 32 μg/mL. Cerevisterol (1) isolated from the DM extract was the most active compound (8 ≤ MIC≤ 128 μg/mL). This study showed that cerevisterol is bacteriostatic against Salmonella Typhi. Moreover, cerevisterol induced the release of the nucleotides, inhibited H+-ATPase proton pumps, and reduced the catalase activity of Salmonella Typhi ATCC6539.
Conclusion: Finally, this study allowed to identify cerevisterol as a good candidate to tackle typhoid fever infections and mainly that caused by MDR (multidrug-resistant) strains.

Aims: The study aimed to identify the physicochemical property improvement and heavy metal scavenging potential of indigenous microalgae (Spirulina sp. and Chlorella sp.) of Bangladesh for treatment of textile wastewater disposed in the open environment.
Study Design:  The capacity of improving the water quality of the textile effluent by heavy metal absorption was assessed. The quantitative determination included the comparison of physical characteristics (pH, TDS, EC, DO, COD) and heavy metal profile (Cr, Cd, Pb, Zn, Fe) of the textile effluent before and after bioremediation. Effluent treatment was carried out by individual species separately and in combination with both for a total of 25 days.
Place and Duration of Study: Major experiments were carried out at the Applied Botany Laboratory, Dhaka Laboratory, BCSIR, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2022 to February 2024. Quantitative estimations were carried out at Soil & Water Laboratory, Dhaka Laboratory, BCSIR, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Methodology: The textile wastewater was characterized using physicochemical parameters and heavy metal concentration before the experimental procedure. Three treatment plans were designed, two (TCV and TSP) using individual species separately and one treatment (TC) using both species in combination. The treatment continued for 25 days. The physicochemical parameters and heavy metal concentration of the treated effluent were measured at 5 day intervals till the 25th day of the experiment. Comparative analysis of the data was utilized to determine useful species for further applied studies in future.
Results: The Chlorella treatment achieved remarkable pH restoration, with a peak of 7.94 on Day 10 and stabilization at 7.28 by Day 25. Moreover, the same treatment exhibited substantial reductions in TDS, dropping from 7750 mg/L to 455 mg/L by Day 10, and further to 301 mg/L by Day 25. Additionally, it effectively reduced heavy metal concentrations; Cr from 0.783 ppm to 0.462 ppm by Day 25, well below permissible limits.
Conclusion: The comparative data suggested the overall improvement of the effluent quality can be achieved by a combined treatment of C. vulgaris and S. platensis, quickly and cost-efficiently. Further investigation is required for an in-depth understanding of their combined potential.

Aggressive behaviors have been associated with social costs (e.g., rejection) and benefits (e.g., popularity) in previous studies. The current study sought to examine the moderating effect of teacher preference on the association between distinct forms of aggressive behavior (i.e., physical aggression and relational aggression) and social status (i.e., rejection and popularity), and to explore whether these associations differed for boys and girls. Fourth and fifth grade students (N = 193) completed peer nomination procedures to assess rejection and aggressive behavior and teachers provided self‐reports of their preferences for their students. Findings indicated that relationally aggressive girls were more likely to be popular with their peers when their teachers also liked them. In addition, both relationally and physically aggressive girls were less likely to be rejected by their peers when their teachers liked them. Although physical aggression was most strongly associated with rejection among boys whose teachers liked them, relational aggression predicted popularity among boys whose teachers disliked them. Results suggest that teacher preferences may be a particularly important factor contributing to both physically and relationally aggressive children's social status (e.g., rejection and popularity), especially for girls.

Published: August 2012

An FeF3 cathode with very high reversible capacity, exceeding 200 mAh g−1, is achieved by amorphizing of FeF3. The amorphization is achieved by densifying the open structure phase along with the removal of channel H2O at 0 °C in BmimBF4. This process is accompanied by a voltage increase of 200 mV. The generation of a hierarchical electron/ion wiring network, enabled by the interaction of ionic liquid with carbon nanotube and FeF3 surfaces, significantly improves the reversibility.
