Background: Levan is a promising safe, renewable, and environmentally friendly exocellular homopolysaccharides. It has recently gained increasing research interest because of its significant impact on biotechnology applications due to its biocompatibility and ability to biodegradability. Aim: The study aimed to determine some of the optimal cultural conditions for levan production by studying many parameters affecting production by local isolation Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis Strain AE77). Methods: B. subtilis Strain AE77 It was obtained from the Department of Food Science/College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences as a local levan-producing isolate isolated from rotten sweets. The Mineral Salts Broth (MSB) medium was approved to study the optimized conditions for levan production. Then precipitation of levan from the fermentation medium. Then the identification of levan with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) technology by estimating the retention time of levan, compared with the standard model produced from the bacterial isolate Erwinia herbicola (E.herbicola). Besides, each of the standard solutions of sugars (fructose, glucose, and sucrose). Results: The study results proved that the polysaccharide produced from this isolate is pure and consists of fructose and is a homopolysaccharide with the HPLC technique. The best levan production was from B. subtilis Strain AE77 using a modified MSB medium of 20% sucrose in a 48 hours incubation period. An inoculum volume of 1×108 cell/ml at a concentration of 2% at an incubation temperature of 35 °C and pH = 7.0 and agitation speed of 150 rpm reached 4.80 g/100ml. Conclusion: HPLC was used to separate, identify and quantify both B.subtilis Strain AE77 and standard levan produced from the bacterial isolate E. herbicola, as well as standard fructose, glucose, and sucrose, respectively. The results showed that levan is a homopolysaccharide consisting of one type of monomer (the fructose sugar units). Conditions for levan production were determined by isolating B. subtilis Strain AE77 in a sucrose medium. The results showed that the optimal medium for production contained 20% sucrose without any nitrogen source, pH7.0, and inoculum volume 1x108 cell/ml at a concentration of 2% at a temperature of 35 °C agitation speed 150 rpm, and incubation period of 48 hours.

The present study was undertaken to learn more about the the nature and magnitude of gene action for various yield and yield attributing traits in cherry tomato. Ten different lines of cherry tomato were crossed in diallel fashion (excluding reciprocals) and tested for gene action investigations in open and protected environment. Analysis of variance of the components of genetic variation and their ratios and differences revealed that the additive variance component ( ) was significant for all the traits in the individual as well as pooled data analysis, except for number of primary branches plant-1 in E2. The dominance components ( and ) showed the significant difference for all the traits except for plant height in E2. This shows the involvement of both additive and non-additive type of gene action in the inheritance of the traits. Hence, reliance should be placed on reciprocal recurrent selection and the development of superior lines with several desirable genes.

Published: March 2022

Home-based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) is an alternative learning approach in many countries, including Malaysia, and is in line with the new normal. It emphasizes parental roles in helping children learn effectively at home. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of parental involvement through a systematic procedure in the implementation of Interactive Science Homework (KRIS). Using a Quasi-Experimental design, this study involved a total of 69 Year Three elementary school children with their parents. Children in the treatment group (n=37) underwent the KRIS intervention with homework systematic completion procedures. Meanwhile, children in the control group (n=32) underwent a KRIS intervention without the systematic procedures. Data were collected through the review of returned assignments from both groups. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with the children’s parents. The data from the returned assignments and records of the children and parents’ involvement were analyzed using descriptive analyses. The interview transcripts were analyzed thematically. The findings show that assigning KRIS with systematic procedures has a positive effect on the children, where the assignment return rate and parents’ involvement were higher compared with the intervention without systematic procedures. In this light, parents have the opportunity to guide their children in learning more systematically and are able to keep track of their children’s performance in school. The main implication of this study is that the development of guidelines for parental involvement in the science curriculum will encourage the children to learn science together with their parents.

Published: March 2022

Oman Seismic Code (OSC) was developed in 2013 to provide guidelines for seismic analysis and design of buildings in the Sultanate of Oman. Prior to its development, specifications of Uniform Building Code 1997 (UBC) and International Building Code 2006 (IBC) were used. This study compares base shear, lateral force distribution, and effective storey drift obtained from the three seismic codes using equivalent static load and response spectrum analysis methods. Reinforced concrete buildings with 25m x 40m plan having columns at 5m spacing are used; 3-, 6-, 13- and 19- storeys are considered having height of 10m, 19m, 40m and 58m, respectively. The buildings were considered as having normal occupancy condition, resting on very dense soil (type-C). The study considered low and normal ductility classes defined by the OSC and compared Zone-1 of OSC with Zone-1 of UBC and IBC. OSC provided slightly higher values (20% - 35% higher) of base shear than IBC and UBC for the low ductility class. For the normal ductility class, it provided marginally lower (9% - 12% lower) values for 6-, 13- and 19-storey buildings while a higher value for the 3-storey building. The storey shear force and storey drift from the OSC also compared well with the international counterparts. Muscat that is Zone-1 of OSC is equivalent to Zone-1 of UBC and IBC.

Construction projects are unique and influenced by many external and internal factors hindering the efficiencies of operations. Different construction companies may have different influencing productivity factors depending on the company’s scale. Large construction companies have better resource management systems than the construction small and medium enterprises (SME). The construction SMEs work in small scale projects, and the amount and type of the required resources are different from the large construction companies. Therefore, identifying the factors affecting construction productivity is essential to determine the best action to avoid any unforeseen productivity reduction. This study aims to rank the most influencing productivity factors in small and medium construction (SME) companies. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data from small and medium construction companies registered in Oman Tender Board. The relative importance index (RII) was used to evaluate the responses. Sixty-five companies out of the 207 targeted population participated in the survey. It was found that - incomplete drawings and drawing omissions, poor site condition and management, delay in payment, unavailability of proper tools and equipment, and workers absenteeism and turnover were found as the top factors that influence construction productivity.

Published: March 2022

Histology images are extensively used by pathologists to assess abnormalities and detect malignancy in breast tissues. On the other hand, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are by far, the privileged models for image classification and interpretation. Based on these two facts, we surveyed the recent CNN-based methods for breast cancer histology image analysis. The survey focuses on two major issues usually faced by CNN-based methods namely the design of an appropriate CNN architecture and the lack of a sufficient labelled dataset for training the model. Regarding the design of the CNN architecture, methods examining breast histology images adopt three main approaches: Designing manually from scratch the CNN architecture, using pre-trained models and adopting an automatic architecture design. Methods addressing the lack of labelled datasets are grouped into four categories: methods using pre-trained models, methods using data augmentation, methods adopting weakly supervised learning and those adopting feedforward filter learning. Research works from each category and reported performance are presented in this paper. We conclude the paper by indicating some future research directions related to the analysis of histology images.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a utilização e validação de um método de comparação de imagens chamado casamento por correlação. Esse método utiliza o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson para medir a correlação entre os pixels presentes em um template (objeto alvo) e os pixels de outra imagem. Dependendo do valor da correlação, é possível verificar se um determinado objeto está presente em uma imagem ou não, bem como a localização desse objeto. Para a proposta desse trabalho, utilizou-se esse coeficiente para localizar as coordenadas de furos de parafusos em gabinetes traseiros de televisores a fim de se automatizar o processo de inserção e aperto dos parafusos. Todo o algoritmo foi desenvolvido no MATLAB e foram realizados testes que avaliaram seu comportamento através da análise da eficiência em imagens onde o posicionamento do televisor, brilho e contraste foram intencionalmente variados para se produzir mais de 2500 condições diferentes. Ao final do projeto, foi possível verificar que a eficiência do algoritmo se manteve em 100% para uma grande faixa de brilho e contraste, o que valida e comprova a robustez que a técnica confere ao processo produtivo.

Daily diet plays crucial role in maintaining human body healthy. A healthy diet protects us from diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. According to Ayurveda, body is made up of aakash, jala, prithvi, teja, and vayu. Combination of these five elements decides the body prakriti called as doshas i.e. Vaat, pitta, and kapha.  Human body has a unique proportion of these doshas and it is decided at the time of birth. Depending upon which dosha present in more quantity human body will be either Vata, pitta or kapha. Imbalance in these doshas leads to illness and different diseases. This can be avoided by following diet based on body prakriti. The proposed system uses deep learning and knowledge of suitable diet based on body prakriti as per the different season to recommend best possible diet chart.

Background and Aim: Tobacco use is one of the leading global causes of avoidable death worldwide and a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and cancer. A study in Canada reported that 64.4% of the people that used tobacco wanted to quit. Unfortunately only less than 5% of such attempts actually lead to long-term abstinence. This study aims to evaluate the quitting attempts and various barriers faced by patients when attempting tobacco cessation. Methodology: In this study we evaluated the records of 354 different patients that underwent Anti-tobacco counselling in Saveetha dental college and hospitals to determine the number of quitting attempts made and some common barriers faced by them in the process. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. The statistical analysis for correlation was done using Perason’s Chi-Square test and Cross tabulation was done. Age and Gender were considered as independent variables. Results: The results showed that 28.81% of the patients that reported to the clinic were from the age group 31-40 years. Only 5.93% of the patients had made more than two attempts to quit tobacco. 44.07% of the patients showed a cessation period of less than 6 months.

Background and Aim: There are numerous preventive strategies available globally for dental caries. However, the incidence of dental caries is high among school going children in most of the developing countries. School teachers play a major role in inculcating good habits and behaviour to the children. Thus, we aimed to assess the perception of dental caries among school teachers qualitatively by focus group discussion. Methods: One focus group discussion was conducted among the primary level government and private school teachers in Tamil Nadu. A group of 12 teachers, 6 from Government schools and 6 from Private schools were recruited. The discussion was held in a virtual platform due to COVID-19 Lockdown. The session lasted for 45-60 min. The areas of discussion included attitude towards aetiology, prevention and treatment for dental caries.

Results: Analysis of interview transcripts recognized many influences on children’s oral health attitudes. Majority of teachers expressed a high efficacy using toothbrushes, tongue cleaners, mouthwashes, oil pulling and massaging gums as plaque control mechanisms. Most of the participants were aware of all treatment modalities for dental caries. However, they were not totally aware of the preventive strategies of dental caries. Conclusion:

Purpose : The aim of the study is to assess its potential to synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with Noni fruit extract and augment its antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Materials and methods: The synthesized SeNPs were confirmed using UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, S. aureus, E. faecalis, C. albicans was tested using agar diffusion; antioxidant potential assessed on 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate oxidation. Results : UV-vis, and TEM confirmed the synthesis of SeNPs and revealed smooth spherical nanoparticles (25-100nm). SeNPs exhibited significant antimicrobial activity for the provided concentration against all organisms and excellent antioxidant potential in a dose dependent manner (84% inhibition/50 µl concentration). Conclusion : Morinda citrifolia augmented biogenic SeNPs is a cost effective yet efficient method and they show great potential as oral antimicrobial agent with superior antioxidant properties and is eco-friendly.

Selenium was used to hydrothermally synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using Clitoria ternatea extract, which is an important trace ingredient for human health. The green synthesis of nanoparticles has created a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable procedure for synthesis of non-materials, as well as raising healthy strategies. DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to investigate the antioxidant activity. At 50ml, the synthesized nanoparticles showed most antioxidant activity by scavenging 89.1% DPPH and excellent anti-inflammatory activity by dose-dependently reducing inflammation at inhibition percentage of 85.5%, which was found to be higher than the control. Selenium nanoparticles synthesized from Clitoria ternatea may be used as possible candidates for biomedical and environmental applications due to their eco-friendly synthesis, nontoxicity, and biocompatibility.

This study aims to analyze the path of causal relationships that influence the development of creative product innovation with social capital and to create innovative models of creative products with social capital to increase the economic value of the foundation of community enterprises in Samut Songkhram Province. Indeed, community enterprises are always facing different kinds of challenges in their functionality. To proceed with the study, the data was collected in both qualitative and quantitative form. In this regard, for the questionnaire, the sample size was 250, which was to get the response to test the relationship between the variables. This study concludes that there is a causal relationship between the factors that are worthy for the creative products development with social capital. The significance of this study is this study contributes to the literature because these variables were not discussed in any study in the relationship of social capital to increase the economic value, particularly in the Samut Songkhram province.
Speciesism and Sentientism
Authors: Lee Andrew Y.
Published: March 2022

Many philosophers accept both of the following claims: (1) consciousness matters morally, and (2) species membership does not matter morally. In other words, many reject speciesism but accept what we might call 'sentientism'. But do the reasons against speciesism yield analogous reasons
against sentientism, just as the reasons against racism and sexism are thought to yield analogous reasons against speciesism? This paper argues that speciesism is disanalogous to sentientism (as well as racism and sexism). I make a case for the following asymmetry: (a) some non-humans clearly
have interests, but (b) no non-conscious entities clearly have interests. This asymmetry, I argue, renders sentientism immune to the principal argument against speciesism.
Could All Life Be Sentient?
Authors: Thompson Evan
Published: March 2022

This paper concerns biopsychism, the position that feeling is a vital activity of all organisms or living beings. It evaluates biopsychism specifically from the perspective of the enactive conception of life and life–mind continuity. Does the enactive conception of life as fundamentally
a value-constituting and value-driven process imply a conception of life as sentient of value? Although a plausible case can be made, there remains a conceptual and inferential gap between differential responsiveness to value and hedonic value or affective valence. Nevertheless, the case for
zoopsychism — that animals are the only sentient living beings — over biopsychism is also inconclusive.
Función social de la universidad, integración de las funciones sustantivas, con la comunidad, equipo de trabajo y disciplinas
Authors: Padilla Contreras Ivania
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo se aborda el concepto de integralidad, desde dos aportes propuestos por universidades latinoamericanas, que problematizan la integración de las funciones sustantivas, desde un paradigma de la jerarquización de la investigación y la vinculación en el acto educativo. Se analiza la vinculación universidad sociedad, como un eje integrador del Modelo Educativo de la UNAH y se presenta una primera aproximación de modelo de integración de las funciones sustantivas, que se deja a debate y reflexión en cuanto a su compresión, características e implementación.  Finalmente se presenta una experiencia que ha sido ejecutada, conforme al modelo de integralidad propuesto, de tal manera que puede aportar a la reflexión y réplica para el enfoque de integralidad en función del modelo educativo y del modelo de relación universidad sociedad vigente en la UNAH.

El Laboratorio de Biotecnología, a través del proyecto

BIOREM “Biorremediación de Sitios Contaminados”

trabajó de la mano con la sociedad durante todo

el desarrollo de los estudios de investigación, la

Universidad aportó conocimientos científicos,

analíticos y prácticos. El proyecto de investigación

fue realizado en la zona minera de Santo Domingo

y la Libertad, Chontales, donde la actividad minera

artesanal se ha incrementado y ha venido deteriorando

la calidad de los suelos y agua, sumado a esto la

exposición directa a metales tóxicos como el mercurio

que es utilizado en el proceso de extracción del oro

mediante la amalgamación oro-mercurio. Durante la

ejecución del proyecto BIOREM se realizaron diferentes

actividades de interacción universidad-sociedad, tales

como reuniones con las alcaldías de Santo Domingo y

la Libertad, visitas al personal que trabaja en las rastras

donde se extrae el oro, capacitaciones a dueños de

rastras y trabajadores mineros sobre la protección

adecuada durante el proceso de manipulación del

mercurio y contaminación ambiental; además,

se capacitó a estudiantes de grado mediante su

inclusión en los procesos experimentales, generando

dos (2) tesis para optar al título de Licenciatura en

Biología en la UNAN-Managua y dos (2) tesis para

optar al título de Ingeniería en Calidad Ambiental de

la UCA. La vinculación universidad-sociedad en el

proyecto BIOREM fue exitoso puesto que se logró

el acercamiento con el gremio minero artesanal, así

como, la trasferencia y adquisición de conocimientos

teóricos y prácticos.
