Authors: Onwubiko Emmanuel Chidiadi , Okeke Ifeka Ejikeme
Published: June 2023

This study is a citation analysis of serials in postgraduate research reports of library and information science of public universities in Southeast Nigeria from 2013 to 2021. The study was guided by six research questions in line with the objectives of the study. The study employed a descriptive survey design with a sampled population of 296 derived through census method from four public universities offering library and information science. The principle instruments used in collecting data for this study were self-designed checklists. With the checklists, 12455 serials citations were analyzed using descriptive statistics of mode, mean and range and data presented in tables, charts and graphs using frequencies and percentile. The study found that the most cited serials types were journals with 76.5% citations followed by conference proceedings/reports with 20% and the least cited being government publication with only .5 citations . It was further discovered that serials used were either in print or electronic form. . The study also revealed that multi authorship is the most frequently cited author pattern in library graduates theses and dissertations, while annual serials citations range from 1034 to 2205. The study indicated that the average age of serials used was within the bracket of 0 – 20 years. The study recommended among other things that there should be documentation librarian in each university library whose duty should be to track down research reports, ensuring proper documentations and upward delivery to the university library circulation unit. This study could serve as a collection development tool that can be used as a model for the library to identify the primary sources for acquisitions and also as a guide for collection maintenance
The same order type A5 characterizing
Authors: Habibi Rizan
Published: June 2023

This study examines the same-order type of G, suppose G be a finite group that α(G)=S_tt∈πe(G) and define nse(G) or α(G) is the same-order type whose S_t is the number of elements of order t that t∈π_e (G) and π_e (G) is the set of elements order of G. If |G|=n in G, then we say that G is α_n-group. Shin in [1] showed that every α_2-group is nilpotent and every α_3-group is solvable. In addition, the structure of the such group and proved if G be an α_n-group then |π(G)|≤n, and conjectures that if the researcher examines the same-order type of the nonabelian simple group. This study proves that if G is a simple nonabelian group, the same-order type of G has four elements if and only if G is isomorphism with A_5. This study proves that for any nonabelian simple group G, we have S_p≠S_q for odd prime divisors p and q of order of G.

Authors: Al-kubaisi mohannad Sami , Al-Deri Ahmed Husam
Published: June 2023

This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity of Silybum marianum (silymarin) against Proteus spp. bacteria isolated from minced meat. Two concentrations (1000 μg/ml and 2000 μg/ml) of Silybum marianum were assayed against proteus spp., by inoculating minced meat for (60 and 120 min): and stored at refrigerator temperature for 24, 72, and 120 hours, respectively; the bacterial counting was done on selective media. The results showed that proteus spp. were resistant to low concentrations of silymarin, while the inhibitory concentration of silymarin against Proteus strains was ≥ 2000 μg/ml. It was concluded that silymarin is a more beneficial antibacterial in the 2000 μg/ml concentration for the elimination of Proteus spp. pathogenic bacteria in minced meat than in the low concentration
Association between Serum Amyloid A Levels and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Liu Ting , Li Meng , Cui Chunying , Zhou Jielin
Published: June 2023

Background: To date, consistent data have not been reported on the association between serum amyloid A (SAA) levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The purpose of this study was to systematically summarize their relationship.Methods: Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, and MEDLINE were searched until August 2021. Cross-sectional and case-control studies were included.Results: Twenty-one studies with 1,780 cases and 2,070 controls were identified. SAA levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in healthy groups (standardized mean difference [SMD], 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.39 to 0.98). A subgroup analysis showed that the mean age of participants and the continent that participants were from were related to differences in SAA levels between cases and controls. Furthermore, in T2DM patients, SAA levels were positively associated with body mass index (r=0.34; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.66), triglycerides (r=0.12; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.24), fasting plasma glucose (r=0.26; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.45), hemoglobin A1c (r=0.24; 95% CI, 0.16 to 0.33), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (r=0.22; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.34), C-reactive protein (r=0.77; 95% CI, 0.62 to 0.91), and interleukin-6 (r=0.42; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.54), but negatively linked with highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (r=–0.23; 95% CI, –0.44 to –0.03).Conclusion: The meta-analysis suggests that high SAA levels may be associated with the presence of T2DM, as well as lipid metabolism homeostasis and the inflammatory response.

Comment on the Feasibility of Carbon Burning in Betelgeuse
Authors: Molnár László , Joyce Meridith , Leung Shing-Chi
Published: June 2023

The recent pre-print (version published to arxiv on 2023 June 3rd) by Saio et al. argues that the supergiant Betelgeuse is already undergoing carbon burning, based the assumption that all of its light variations are caused by radial pulsations. However, the angular diameter measurements of the star are in conflict with the stellar radius required by their models, as we show in this note. We discuss the feasibility that the Great Dimming was caused by constructive mode interference using long-term brightness measurements and comment on differences in modeling frameworks adopted in Saio et al. versus Joyce et al.

Abstract

The checklist includes 270 species that belong to 80 families and 183 genera. Each species has been annotated with the following information: life form, wetland indicator status, and location. In this checklist, Angiosperms are represented by 252 species (93.3%), Bryophytes – 10 species (3.7%), Pteridophytes – 8 (3%), Gymnosperms – 1 (0.4%). The largest families by the number of species are Cyperaceae – 39 (14.4%), Poaceae – 29 (10.7%), Rosaceae – 19 (7.1%), Asteraceae – 17 (6.3%), Fabaceae – 11 (4.1%) and Juncaceae – 11 (4.1%). The checklist is dominated by 55 Palaearctic species (20.4%), followed by 46 Holarctic (17.1%), 31 Euro-Mediterranean (11.5%), 31 Cosmopolitan (11.5%), and 27 Euro-Siberian (10.03%) species. The endemism rate is 4.8%, and the proportion of invasive and naturalized plants is 8.5%. Obligate wetland plants, mainly belonging to the families Cyperaceae and Juncaceae, make up 34.2% of the floristic composition. This is the first comprehensive published checklist of the flora of Georgian wetlands, annotated with wetland indicator values.
Selaginella densiciliata (subg. Heterostachys, Selaginellaceae), a new spikemoss species from China based on morphological and molecular data
Authors: Fang Shao-Li , Xu Bo , Zhang Liang , He Zhao-Rong , Zhou Xin-Mao
Published: June 2023

A new species of spikemoss, Selaginella densiciliata in S. subg. Heterostachys sect. Tetragonostachyae, China, is described from southeastern Xizang, based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic data. Morphologically, S. densiciliata is similar to S. repanda, S. subvaginata and S. vaginata, but the new species can be easily distinguished from them by having sterile leaves margins densely ciliate, symmetrical axillary leaves oblong ovate to ovate-triangular, and ovate dorsal leaves obviously carinate. Molecular phylogenetic analysis resolves S. densiciliata as sister to the clade comprised with S. vaginata and S. xipholepis, which confirms the recognition of the new species.
Institutional Failure: Policing in Permacrisis
Authors: Murji Karim
Published: June 2023

Recent scandals have once again highlighted ongoing failings in the Metropolitan Police force, for which yet more urgent reforms have been proposed. While police denialism of institutional racism continues to be a problem, the institutional failure that creates the recurring cycles
of crisis goes beyond the Met. It is also rooted in a stunted mediascape, and, more seriously, a failing political culture that is addicted to the sugar rush of immediate political news, and mired in an authoritarian and zombie politics of law and order that seeks to manage dissent through
producing first shock and then amnesia. This institutional permacrisis underlines the failures of all three institutions to recognise and address institutional racism. It is symptomatic of a failure to go beyond the facile assumption - in the face of decades of evidence to the contrary-that
deeply embedded structural problems can be solved through the fix of culture-change programmes or the appointment of a heroic new leader. Recent reports have also found the Met to be marked by institutional misogyny and institutional corruption. This extension of the idea of systemic failure
seems unlikely to prompt the kind of systemic and structural change that is needed.
To Be Heard Through The #Metoo Backlash
Authors: Moro Sabrina , Sapio Giuseppina , Buisson Charlotte , Trovato Noémie , Duchamp Zoé
Published: June 2023

The Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard defamation trial constitutes what Sarah Banet- Weiser (2018) calls a 'feminist flashpoint': it has become a media event that facilitates and shapes discourses around gender-based violence in the public sphere. The cultural significance of the
social media commentaries on the trial is threefold. First, the sheer volume of media traffic turns sexual violence into a media spectacle. Second, commentary featured discussion of domestic violence and situated it within the legacies of #MeToo. Thirdly, the stark divide between Depp and
Heard supporters reveals shifts in cultural understandings of sexual violence since #MeToo but also a backlash against the movement. Cultural understandings of gender-based violence and feminism, popularised by #MeToo, are acknowledged, but the same digital tools that enable online feminist
activism are mobilised in the backlash. The authors explore the re-activation of the myth of the 'ideal victim' Heard's resistance to dominant representations of the passive victim; and the 'memeification' of Heard (Valenti 2022) as a form of gendered surveillance
and policing. The trial exemplifies a new iteration of postfeminism, one that acknowledges the cultural and political significance of #MeToo yet upholds the same rape myths that were previously criticised.
Short-memory discrete fractional difference equation wind turbine model and its inferential control of a chaotic permanent magnet synchronous transformer in time-scale analysis
Authors: Alsharidi Abdulaziz Khalid , Rashid Saima , Elagan S. K.
Published: June 2023

The aerodynamics analysis has grown in relevance for wind energy projects; this mechanism is focused on elucidating aerodynamic characteristics to maximize accuracy and practicability via the modelling of chaos in a wind turbine system's permanent magnet synchronous generator using short-memory methodologies. Fractional derivatives have memory impacts and are widely used in numerous practical contexts. Even so, they also require a significant amount of storage capacity and have inefficient operations. We suggested a novel approach to investigating the fractional-order operator's Lyapunov candidate that would do away with the challenging task of determining the indication of the Lyapunov first derivative. Next, a short-memory fractional modelling strategy is presented, followed by short-memory fractional derivatives. Meanwhile, we demonstrate the dynamics of chaotic systems using the Lyapunov function. Predictor-corrector methods are used to provide analytical results. It is suggested to use system dynamics to reduce chaotic behaviour and stabilize operation; the benefit of such a framework is that it can only be used for one state of the hybrid power system. The key variables and characteristics, i.e., the modulation index, pitch angle, drag coefficients, power coefficient, air density, rotor angular speed and short-memory fractional differential equations are also evaluated via numerical simulations to enhance signal strength.
Hamiltonian elliptic system involving nonlinearities with supercritical exponential growth
Authors: Leuyacc Yony Raúl Santaria
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we deal with the existence of nontrivial solutions to the following class of strongly coupled Hamiltonian systems:

   \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} \quad \left\{ \begin{array}{rclll} -{\rm div} \big(w(x)\nabla u\big) \ = \ g(x,v),&\ & x \in B_1(0), \\[5pt] - {\rm div}\big(w(x) \nabla v\big)\ = \ f(x,u),&\ & x \in B_1(0), \\[5pt] u = v = 0&\ & x \in \partial B_1(0), \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where $ w(x) = \big(\log 1/|x|\big)^{\gamma} $, $ 0\leq\gamma < 1 $, and the nonlinearities $ f $ and $ g $ possess exponential growth ranges above the exponential critical hyperbola. Our approach is based on Trudinger-Moser type inequalities for weighted Sobolev spaces and variational methods.
Identification of DNA-binding protein based multiple kernel model

Published: June 2023

DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) play a critical role in the development of drugs for treating genetic diseases and in DNA biology research. It is essential for predicting DNA-binding proteins more accurately and efficiently. In this paper, a Laplacian Local Kernel Alignment-based Restricted Kernel Machine (LapLKA-RKM) is proposed to predict DBPs. In detail, we first extract features from the protein sequence using six methods. Second, the Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel function is utilized to construct pre-defined kernel metrics. Then, these metrics are combined linearly by weights calculated by LapLKA. Finally, the fused kernel is input to RKM for training and prediction. Independent tests and leave-one-out cross-validation were used to validate the performance of our method on a small dataset and two large datasets. Importantly, we built an online platform to represent our model, which is now freely accessible via http://8.130.69.121:8082/.
Design Considerations in Developing an Augmented Reality Learning Environment for Engaging Students in Covariational Reasoning
Authors: Jaber Otman , Swidan Osama , Fried Michael N.
Published: June 2023

This study reports on findings of two design cycles of augmented reality environment intended to engage high school students in covariational reasoning. The study used a designed-based research method to develop and improve the learning environment. In this report, we present the initial design and discuss how it promoted students' engagement at elementary levels of covariation. Following this first cycle, we introduced a redesigned learning environment. We provide evidence of how the new design in the second cycle promoted students' engagement at advanced levels of covariational reasoning. Six groups of three 15- to 17-year-old students participated in the research. Using AR headsets, each group carried out two activities well-suited, in principle, to covariational reasoning. The students' interactions were video-recorded, and the theory of semiotic representation was used to analyze the degree of their engagement in covariational reasoning. The design emphasized multiple representations generally, and the compatibility between the explored phenomenon and its mathematical representations, specifically. Findings show that the design considerations in the second design cycle significantly improved the students' engagement at different levels of covariation, including advanced levels.

Multimodal learning mode, as an education and teaching mode developed on multimodal data technology, provides more convenience for multimedia teaching. However, many challenges persist in its actual development and application. Currently, the multimodal learning model is susceptible to classroom noise, lack of teaching information, and other factors, which adversely affect multimodal data collection, teaching application, and achievement output. Thus, this paper optimizes the multimodal learning model in the open learning environment and takes 120 engineering students from a university in Guangxi Province as the research object. First, a sequential modal extraction method is proposed by constructing a multimodal probability generation model and then the data are modeled. Semi-supervised learning is then achieved by analyzing and combining the supervised and unsupervised learning processes. Finally, the knowledge base technology with information fusion characteristics is applied to the multimodal teaching mode. This teaching mode has been proven to improve students’ learning ability and learning achievement and teachers’ teaching effectiveness.

Due to the increased number of cars, outdoor parking is one of the critical problems. Moreover, the management of the parking system is also considered a difficult task. Humans, on the other hand, were acclimated to efficiently parking their automobiles by providing them with the precise location of parking in advance of their arrival. As a result of human inefficiency, it was unsuccessful and ultimately increased the compliance cost. As a result of the development of the notion of the Internet of Things. A lot of systems were installed regarding smart parking systems that are decreasing the cost but also contain a huge impact on the reduction of emissions from cars. While it is possible to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) devices into automobiles, such an approach will necessitates the deployment of additional infrastructure, which will raise the cost, and also it is not feasible within current infrastructure configurations. Then there's the fact that CCTV technology is widely available and also small enough to fit into any parking area without being noticeable. In this paper, Convolution Neural Network (CNN) based smart parking system is designed and implemented. The CNN is used to detect vacant and occupied parking spaces through CCTV cameras and provide feedback to the passengers. Furthermore, the proposed approach is using CNR and PKLot datasets for ensuring the effectiveness of the model. This was developed to solve the issues of time, cost, and accuracy with the existing systems. As a result, the proposed model provides excellent results in terms of accuracy. Moreover, it is cost-effective and saves time.

The chapter provides information as a first step for individuals who are thriving to get a bird's eye view of the aspects underlying the optical networking in the context of 5G technology. Apart from capacity requirement challenges targeted by 5G coverage, it requires a lot of fibers to be successfully provisioned to achieve formidable performance goals of 5G such as diversified capacity requirements, availability, and coverage issues. The goals could be achieved by the underlying optical network with a greater number of interconnected fiber paths. In 5G, the requirements of reliable and ultra-low latency services required at the access side of a network shape up the research and evolution of underlying optical segments spanning from core to access part of the network. The reconfigurability and security issues of the present mode of optical communication need to be addressed, and the proposals given by the researchers are summed up. The chapter includes a general framework and theoretical concepts behind machine learning and software defined networking paradigms.
Longitudinal recovery gradient of macroinvertebrates during different hydrological scenarios in a downstream river reach
Authors: Doychev Dimitar D.
Published: June 2023

Macroinvertebrate community composition in regulated rivers is highly dependent on high and low flow events. Significant reduction or augmentation of the flow downstream from a dam can lead to a decrease in the variety of the sensitive macrozoobenthic taxa. Such decreases may lead to a degraded ecological status. In this research, the macrozoobenthic community was investigated in a river section downstream of a multipurpose dam with strategic significance for northeast Bulgaria. Samples were collected for five years from the Golyama Kamchia River, in close proximity to the Ticha dam. Three sampling sites were established in a longitudinal gradient, from 75 to 1770 meters from the dam. Sixteen invertebrate samples were taken between 2017 and 2021. Double sampling (spring and autumn) was conducted in 2019. The goal was to find how macroinvertebrate communities are influenced by the dam-induced modified environmental conditions, from the management of the dam, and which of the parameters is considered to have the strongest effect. Likewise for the study was important to understand longitudinal recovery gradients from the application of the present “minimum acceptable flow – compensation flow” in hydrologically differing years. The main physicochemical parameters were measured alongside the velocity of the water at each sampling site. Additionally, the maintained hydrological regime was explored for a relationship by several hydrological indices with the macroinvertebrate community composition. The analysis of the biological data through 7 biological indices showed that hydrologically sensitive taxa (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera - EPT) were very good indicators for damming impact, detecting disturbances not so well differentiated by other type-specific indices and the resulting ecological status. The order Trichoptera was the most influenced taxa group during the study. In 2020 the base flow released from the dam dropped to its lowest level (0.095 m3 s-1 from 0.552 m3 s-1) for an explored 10-year period of hydrology. This event continued for more than a year and led to a rupture of the previously observed recovery gradient. Downstream of the second sampling site, at about 800 m below the dam wall, a decrease in the number of trichopteran families was observed and at the third site, at 1.8 km from the dam they were significantly reduced.

We aimed to test the association between serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzymes and treatment outcomes during hospitalization for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Thirty-eight AECOPD patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital from December 2017 to June 2018. Serum LDH and LDH isoenzymes were measured on venous blood collected at admission. Treatment outcomes included duration of hospital stay, initiation of non-invasive (NIV) or mechanical ventilation, initiation of antipseudomonal antibiotics, change in empirical antibiotic treatment, need for intravenous corticosteroids or methylxanthines, and percentage of change in C-reactive protein from admission to the third day. Multivariate linear and binary logistic regression analyses were used to test the study’s objectives. We found that, after adjusting for age, gender, comorbidities, COPD severity, level of hypoxemia, and inflammation markers, each 10 U/L increase in serum LDH was associated with prolongation of the hospital stay by 0.25 (0.03, 0.46) days, 42% higher odds (odds ratio [OR] 1.42 [1.00, 2.03]) for need of NIV, and 25% higher odds (OR 1.25 [1.04, 1.49]) for initiation of antipseudomonal treatment. LDH1 and LDH2 were the LDH isoenzymes that mainly drove these relationships. LDH release in the context of an AECOPD could originate from lung, muscle, or heart tissue damage due to airway inflammation, respiratory muscle recruitment, and myocardial stress. Myocardial injury and aerobic adaptation in respiratory muscles may explain the predominance of LDH1 and LDH2 isoenzymes in these associations.

Objectives:

This study was conducted to compare the disease severity of COVID-19 in pregnant and nonpregnant females of reproductive age group and to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on neonatal outcome.

Materials and Methods:

The present prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care center in northern India over a period of 6 months. Females of reproductive age group (15–44 years) that were admitted in COVID isolation ward with reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction-positive COVID-19 disease were included in the study and followed till discharge.

Results:

Among the 60 females of reproductive age group, 41.67% (25) were pregnant and 58.34% (35) were nonpregnant. The median duration of hospitalization among pregnant and nonpregnant females was 9 and 8.5 days, respectively. The severity of infection among pregnant and nonpregnant females was as follows: asymptomatic + mild disease 96% (24) and 77.14% (27) and moderate + severe disease 4% (1) and 22.86% (8), respectively. There were no maternal mortalities. Forty percent (10) of pregnant females had lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) and 32% (8) had normal vaginal delivery. There were 8 preterm, 6 full-term, 3 early-term, and 1 late-term deliveries. Twelve newborns had normal birth weight, 4 were low birth weight (LBW), 1 was very LBW, and 2 intrauterine deaths IUD were reported. No case of neonatal death or neonatal asphyxia was reported.

Conclusion:

In comparison to nonpregnant women with COVID-19 pneumonia, the infected pregnant females had mild or no respiratory symptoms, and none developed severe respiratory compromise or required intensive care. Preterm delivery, LSCS, and LBW were common in COVID-19-infected females.
