Rice husk (RH) is one of the most abundant agricultural wastes, but can be identified as a useful bio resource. Gonabaru, Kahawanu, Patchaperumal, Dahanala and Suwandel are five immerging traditional rice varieties, competing with genetically improved rice in Sri Lankan rice market. Ash content of RHs of traditional rice varieties (>20.0%) was comparatively higher than genetically improved rice. It was identified that additional acid washing step was essential to improve the purity of bio silica. Mineral impurities such as Na, K, Ca, Fe and Mn were determined using atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). High silica content was extracted from RHs of traditional rice varieties (>23.0%) than that of improved variety, BW 364 (~16.2%). The functional groups present in Rice husk ash (RHA) and rice husk silica (RHS) were determined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The potential application of purified RHS was observed by preparing and analyzing the thin layer chromatography (TLC) in comparison with commercial TLC silica.

Oil seeps from the Patagonian shelf: their thermosteric fate
Authors: Isla Federico I. , Cortizo Luis C.
Published: August 2023

Radar images are commonly applied to recognize and monitor oil seeps on surface waters over continental shelves. In San Jorge Gulf, Patagonia, between 46° S and 48° S, oil slicks have been surveyed performing ellipse patterns in response to mesotidal dynamics. These effects were assigned to recent episodic increments of summer bottom temperatures at depths between 100 and 120 m, which are 2 °C warmer than those recorded during the 20th century. Slicks are assumed to have their origin from faults already known by the oil industry onshore. The effects here described should be envisaged in a climate-change scenario leading to temperature increases of the oceans’ shallow waters, together with other effects such as the human-induced global sea level rise. Under such warmer conditions seeps from continental shelf floors will become more frequent, and their contribution to the atmospheric C budget should be globally assessed.

KNOWLEDGE REGARDING PATIENT SAFETY AMONG NURSING STUDENTS AT SELECTED SETTING, LUCKNOW
Authors: Paul Ms Mini
Published: August 2023

Patient Safety is a fundamental principle of health care. Burnout among clinicians both nurses and physicians has consistently been linked to patient safety risks, and some studies show that higher number of patients per nurse is correlated with increased risk of burnout among nurses. The high intensity nature of nurses’ work means that nurses themselves are at risk of committing errors while providing routine care. Interruptions have been tied to an increased risk of errors, particularly medication administration errors. In literature less attention has been paid to the perception of patient safety

Published: August 2023

O pH, ou Potencial de Hidrogênio, é a escala que mede o grau de acidez ou alcalinidade de uma substância, sendo uma característica de todas as substâncias, determinado pela concentração de íons de Hidrogênio (H+). Vários estudos mostram a determinação do pH de substâncias com pHmetro de bancada ou fita de papel medidora de pH. No entanto, pouco tem sido descrito sobre materiais alternativos de medidas de pH. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar o pH de extratos de café em diferentes fases de desenvolvimento, no dia da extração, após 24 horas, 48 horas e 240 horas em temperatura ambiente (23 °C) e na geladeira (4 °C) utilizando quatro métodos de medição de pH, fita de papel indicador universal, pHmetro portátil, pH testing do smartphone e pHmetro de bancada. Foram avaliadas amostras dos extratos com os quatro métodos de medição, com o intuito de comparar os resultados e verificar a eficácia do aplicativo. Os resultados da determinação do pH do café mostram variação de pH de 3,8 a 6,5 dependendo do tempo da análise e temperatura. O pH também tem variação de acordo com local de coleta, espécie, fase de desenvolvimento e extração. Com relação aos métodos de medição de pH utilizados no presente trabalho os resultados foram semelhantes, mostrando que as verificações de pH realizadas com pHmetro portátil e pH testing são confiáveis, sendo práticas de sala de aula de fácil execução, tornando-a uma prática de investigação acerca dos conteúdos de química do ensino médio, melhorando assim, a aprendizagem dos alunos, e inserindo-os na iniciação científica, uma vez que é feita uma análise mais minuciosa sobre a composição do café e quais reações ocorrem durante todo processo. A análise de componentes principais (APC) propiciou a identificação da existência de similaridade existentes em dados de um conjunto das amostras de extratos de café analisadas. A análise dos componentes principais evidenciou as características comuns e discrepantes entre as amostras de café. Palavras-chave: PH. Café. Smartphone. PHmetro. Aula experimental.

Published: August 2023

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the prominent causes of hospital-acquired bacteremia. Despite the availability of anti-staphylococcal antibiotics, hospital acquired S. aureus bacteremia is still a major problem with considerable morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to isolate, identify and determine the Antibiotics susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus aureus from the surfaces of surgical equipment and environment of major public and private hospitals in Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria using colonial characteristics, microscopy and conventional biochemical techniques. The Antibiotics susceptibility profile of the isolates was determined in accordance with the Guidelines of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI). A total of three hundred and fifty (350) swab samples comprising of fourty (40) from surgical equipment and three hundred and ten (310) from the environment were collected from three (3) different public and private hospitals within Lokoja metropolis. The results obtained showed that 110(31.4%) of samples from the hospital environment were confirmed positive for Staphylococcus aureus with Hospital A constituting 30(8.6%), Hospital B had 59(16.8%) and Hospital C recorded 21 (6.0%). Of the 19 selected S. aureus isolates for antimicrobial susceptibility screening, 10.52% and 5.26% were intermediately resistant to Norfloxacin and Chloramphenicol respectively. Furthermore, the screened S. aureus isolates showed 100% susceptible to Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin and Erythromycin; 94.73% susceptible to Chloramphenicol and 89.47% susceptible to Levoflaxin. The result also revealed 100% resistance to Penicillin and 15.78% resistance to Rifampicin. The high presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the hospital environment is a potential threat to the health of the patients and the public as this organism has been implicated in several human diseases, especially hospital- acquired bacteremia. Therefore, improved personal and public hygienic practices within the hospitals are required to reduce the high presence of S. aureus and other pathogenic microorganisms.

Authors: Sale, M.  , Kwaji M.  , Wakawa, H. Y.
Published: August 2023

Urinary tract infection during pregnancy including asymptomatic bacteriuria has been associated with some adverse outcomes for the mother and foetus.  Studies have shown that pregnant women with urinary tract infections have a significantly higher rate of intra-uterine growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, caesarean and pre-term deliveries. This study was undertaken to determine the occurrence, distribution and antibacterial susceptibility pattern of uropathogens among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in a public hospital in Yola. A total of 200 clean catch mid-stream urine samples were collected from pregnant women and inoculated on cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient agar for bacterial count and isolation of uropathogens. The isolates were also screened for ability to form biofilms using Congo Red Agar method and antibiotic susceptibility test was done on the isolates using agar disk diffusion method. The incidence of UTI among the pregnant women was found to be 90%. The predominant uropathogens were E. coli (46.0%), S. aureus (20.0%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.0%) while the least occurring uropathogen was Proteus sp. (2.0%).  Women in the third and first trimester of pregnancy had the highest occurrence of UTI. A total of 47.0% of the isolates produced biofilm in vitro with the highest biofilm production observed among Proteus sp. (75.0%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (60.0%) isolates. The occurrence of antibiotic resistance among the isolates was high, with greater susceptibility observed to quinolone and third generation cephalosporin. The E. coli isolates demonstrated varying levels of resistance to all the antibiotics tested. Because of the gravity of problems of UTI in pregnancy and that 9 in 10 pregnant women from this study have symptomatic or asymptomatic infection, it is concluded that pregnant women should be screened for urinary tract infection during antenatal visits especially during the first and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Török közvetítési kísérletek az orosz–ukrán háború hadviselői között
Authors: Türkmen Şeref
Published: August 2023

Törökország különleges álláspontot foglal el a NATO tagországai között az orosz–ukrán háborút illetően. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan elnök és az Igazság és Fejlődés Pártja által vezetett kormány elítéli ugyan az orosz agressziót, de Ankara nem csatlakozik a Moszkva ellen meghirdetett nyugati szankciókhoz. Gazdasági és geostratégiai szempontból Törökország Oroszországtól és Ukrajnától is függ, illetve mind a kettő kiemelkedő kereskedelmi partnere. Bár török gyártású fegyverek a háború első napja óta jelen vannak a csatatéren, Ankara abban érdekelt, hogy a harcok minél hamarabb véget érjenek, és helyreálljon a korábban megszokott rend. Az egyértelmű gazdasági és politikai érdekein, illetve az olyan prioritások figyelembe vételén túl, mint a krími tatár kisebbség jóléte, Törökország egyéb esélyt is lát a háború rendezése körüli diplomáciai manőverekben. Azok révén szeretne megkerülhetetlen regionális szereplővé válni, valamint azzal, hogy segíti például az ukrán gabona kijutását a világpiacra, közelebb jutni a nyugati országokhoz. A jelen tanulmány a nemzetközi szakirodalom segítségével azt vizsgálja, milyen külpolitikai stratégia és realitás húzódik meg a török erőfeszítések mögött.

Authors: Sharma Raj Kumar , Jailia Manisha
Published: August 2023

Today, detecting waste, collecting it, processing it, and getting rid of it are among the most significant environmental issues in developing and undeveloped counties. It has been observed that a large amount of garbage remains strewn on the roadside. This study presented a garbage detection technology such as machine learning and gadgets connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), such as an IP-enabled CCTV camera, to take pictures and send them to the city’s main server. The input images are transformed into a two-dimension array of integers using Python modules and divided into the garbage and no garbage classes. There is an 80:20 split between the training and testing datasets from the input dataset. Preprocessed images are then utilised as inputs for a wide range of machine learning and neural network models for classification; these include  K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Logistic Regression (LR), Naive Bayes (NB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The test data sets are applied, and a confusion matrix is formed for all models to analyse the efficiency and performance of the trained models. Results from the confusion matrix are contrasted with those from the area under the Receiver characteristics operating curve (AUC). As a result, the ConvNet model is best suited for classifying garbage or no garbage present in open space, and the LR model proposed best suits the garbage detection problem. The proposed models are best suitable for improving the efficiency of existing garbage identification systems and developing a new system for smart cities.

Klasik Azerbaycan Edebiyatında Yusuf’un Hikâyesi: Dinî ve Edebî Paralellikler
Authors: MEMMEDOVA Ülker
Published: August 2023

Dinî hikâyeler, Orta Çağ Doğu edebiyatında yaygın mevzulardandır. Klasik Azerbaycan edebiyatına bakıldığında özel ilgi uyandıran konulardan biri de Yakup Peygamber’in oğlu Yusuf’un hikâyesidir. Makalede Yusuf’un hikâyesi kutsal kitaplara ve edebi örneklere dayanarak mukayese edilmiştir. Burada Yusuf’un nitelikleriyle diğer kardeşlerden farklı olması, bu yüzden kardeşlerinde kıskançlık uyandırması, haset sebebinden onun kuyuya atılması ve tüccarlara köle olarak satılması, Yusuf’un sahibinin ilgisini kazanması ve sahibinin karısının kötü davranışı, Yusuf’un hapse atılması, onun rüya tabiri yeteneği ve hükümdarın rüyasını doğru tabir ettiği için hapisden çıkması, sarayda yüksek mevki kazanması, evlat acısı yüzünden Yakup’un gözlerinin kör olması gibi konular işlenmiştir. Makalede bu konu kutsal kitaplar ve edebi örneklerle paralel olarak incelenmiştir. Yusuf’un hikâyesi, Tevrat ve Kur’an-ı Kerim’den örnekler ve klasik Azerbaycan edebiyatının önde gelen temsilcileri olan Katran Tebrizi’nin (1012-1091), Aynalkudat Miyaneci’nin (1099-1131), Nizami Gencevi’nin (1141-1209), Hakani Şirvani’nin (1126-1199), Evhedi Maragai’nin (1274-1338) ve İmadeddin Nesimi’nin (1369-1417) eserleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu karşılaştırmada amaç, Orta Çağ Azerbaycan edebiyatında Yusuf Peygamber’in hayat hikâyesi üzerinden dinî ve edebî bir paralellik kurmaktır.

Published: August 2023

Beliren yetişkinlik dönemi 18 ile 20’li yaşların sonu arasında tanımlanan bir gelişim dönemidir ve gelişim bilimi konusunda çalışan bazı uzmanlar bu kavramın yeterliliğini sorgulamaktadır. Benzer şekilde, eğitimde ve istihdamda yer almayan (NEET) kavramı da alan yazında eleştirildiği görülen bir kavramdır. Beliren yetişkinlik döneminde yer alan ve eğitimine devam etme durumu ile çalışma yaşamında aktif olma durumu ile ilgili nitelikleri kendilerine sorulan çalışma grubunun stres verici yaşam olayı yaşama durumları ile ilgili bilgi toplanmış; ayrıca stresle başa çıkma ve kendini toparlama gücü düzeyleri geçerli-güvenilir ölçme araçları ile incelenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu, 18-29 yaş arasında ve stres verici yaşam olayı deneyimlemiş 375 kişi oluşturmuştur. Çalışma grubu, eğitimde ve istihdamda yer almayan grup (NEET) ile eğitimden veya istihdamdan en az birisine dahil olan grup olarak iki grupta incelenmiş ve tek faktörlü MANOVA (çok değişkenli varyans analizi) ile analiz edilerek karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, eğitimde ve istihdamda yer almayan grup (NEET) ile eğitimden veya istihdamdan en az birisine dahil olan grubun stresle başa çıkma ve kendini toparlama gücü düzeyleri anlamlı biçimde farklılaşmamıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, alan yazında geçerlilikleri sorgulanan beliren yetişkinlik ve NEET kavramları eşliğinde tartışılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

This research paper delved into the influential factors affecting specialized subjects' performance among ABM students in Surigao. The identified indicators included Personal Factors, Teacher Factors, and Institutional Factors. The study comprised 113 senior high school ABM students from various schools in Surigao. The sampling method employed was random, selecting participants present during the study. The data collection process involved several steps: seeking study permission, student-respondent identification, crafting the survey questionnaire, obtaining informed consent, conducting questionnaire administration, providing orientation, and performing data analysis and interpretation. The collected data underwent statistical analysis using the following tools: (a) Frequency Count and Percentage Distribution, (b) Mean and Standard Deviation, and (c) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results demonstrated that Personal Factors obtained the highest overall mean of 3.29, indicating the strongest influence. Teacher Factors followed with a mean of 3.17, and Institutional Factors came last with a mean of 3.09. All three factors were verbally interpreted as "Agree." Significant differences emerged among the indicators when participants were grouped according to their profiles. Regarding age, substantial differences were observed in personal factors. On the other hand, gender exhibited no significant differences in personal factors, teacher factors, and institutional factors. Grade level showed significant differences in all three indicators: personal factors, teacher factors, and institutional factors. Consequently, recommendations are made for students to consider tailoring their approach to specialized subjects based on their personal attributes, teacher interactions, and the learning environment
Microfinace and Gender Equality: Issues and Outlook
Authors: Dr. Umesh Balu Gadekar
Published: August 2023

In recent years, microfinance has emerged as a significant tool in the fight against poverty. The microfinance scheme has proven effective in elevating individuals beyond the poverty line by offering enhanced self-employment prospects and fostering creditworthiness. In India, the microfinance sector has witnessed substantial growth, catering to both rural and urban populations with a comprehensive range of financial services. While the core concept of microfinance encompasses more than just microcredit, the terms microfinance and microcredit are often used interchangeably. Notably, the microfinance industry places a strong emphasis on empowering women clients due to their proven creditworthiness. An overwhelming 97 percent of microfinance clients are women, reflecting their pivotal role in this domain. However, despite this focus, there appears to be a lack of concerted efforts from microfinance institutions (MFIs) to genuinely promote women's empowerment and gender equality. This paper draws on secondary data and articles, supplemented by the researcher's own experiences as a Branch Head at BASIX and Janalakshmi Financial Services Pvt Ltd. The study aims to delve into gender-related challenges within the microfinance industry, identify opportunities for achieving gender equality, and examine the obstacles and potential pathways toward this goal. Additionally, the researcher investigates the rationale behind the strong emphasis on women within the microfinance sector.
In conclusion, the findings suggest that, beyond the mere provision of credit, MFIs have not adequately prioritized gender equality initiatives. Consequently, the anticipated positive impact of microfinance on gender equality has yet to materialize on the ground. It is imperative for MFIs to take proactive steps towards promoting gender equality, not only to enhance the borrowers' livelihood sustainability but also to ensure the long-term viability of these institutions
