Published: July 2022

This study assessed the factors influencing the adherence to Covid-19 prevention guidelines among the elderly while specifically looking at the level of adherence, the individual the social factors influencing adherence to Covid-19 prevention guidelines among the elderly in Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, Mbarara district. Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional and descriptive research design with a quantitative approach where a pretested questionnaire designed based on the specific objectives was used to collect data from 194 participants following informed consent. Findings: The majority of the respondents (61.9%) were female, those aged 60-80 years were 150 (77.3%), Catholics were 68 (35.1%), 134 (69.1%) were married and 134 (69.1%) had not attained any formal education. Also, the majority of the respondent 160 (82%) knew what adherence to Covid-19 prevention guidelines meant, 90 (56%) ever adhered to Covid-19 prevention guidelines, 149 (77%) did not adhere to all Covid-19 prevention guidelines and 115 (59.3%) were always with their friends and relatives. Additionally, most of the respondents (46.2%) perceived Covid-19 as a disease for the white people, (68.0%) with chronic diseases were adherent, history of being infected with Covid-19 influenced adherence (52%), and having enough knowledge was associated with good adherence (60.3%). Conclusion: The study, therefore, concluded that the level of adherence to Covid-19 prevention guidelines among the elderly was low majorly due to high-risk perception of contracting Covid-19, dissatisfaction with Covid-19 prevention guidelines, use of medicinal plants for treating Covid-19 related symptoms, area of residence and living in a homestead with many occupants. Recommendation: The study recommends that the country’s Ministry of Health, through its decentralized systems, should use health workers to sensitize the public on COVID-19 through various fora, including community outreach since the population is more likely to trust information from health workers and any other trusted source leading to high adherence.

Abstract. Black carbon (BC) particles in the Arctic contribute to
rapid warming of the Arctic by heating the atmosphere and snow and ice
surfaces. Understanding the source contributions to Arctic BC is therefore
important, but they are not well understood, especially those for
atmospheric and snow radiative effects. Here we estimate simultaneously the
source contributions of Arctic BC to near-surface and vertically integrated
atmospheric BC mass concentrations (MBC_SRF and
MBC_COL), BC deposition flux (MBC_DEP), and BC radiative effects at the top of the atmosphere and snow
surface (REBC_TOA and REBC_SNOW)
and show that the source contributions to these five variables are highly
different. In our estimates, Siberia makes the largest contribution to
MBC_SRF, MBC_DEP, and
REBC_SNOW in the Arctic (defined as >70∘ N), accounting for 70 %, 53 %, and 41 %, respectively.
In contrast, Asia's contributions to MBC_COL and
REBC_TOA are largest, accounting for 37 % and 43 %,
respectively. In addition, the contributions of biomass burning sources are
larger (29 %–35 %) to MBC_DEP, REBC_TOA, and REBC_SNOW, which are highest from late spring
to summer, and smaller (5.9 %–17 %) to MBC_SRF and
MBC_COL, whose concentrations are highest from winter to
spring. These differences in source contributions to these five variables
are due to seasonal variations in BC emission, transport, and removal
processes and solar radiation, as well as to differences in radiative effect
efficiency (radiative effect per unit BC mass) among sources. Radiative
effect efficiency varies by a factor of up to 4 among sources (1471–5326 W g−1) depending on lifetimes, mixing states, and heights of BC and
seasonal variations of emissions and solar radiation. As a result, source
contributions to radiative effects and mass concentrations (i.e.,
REBC_TOA and MBC_COL, respectively)
are substantially different. The results of this study demonstrate the
importance of considering differences in the source contributions of Arctic
BC among mass concentrations, deposition, and atmospheric and snow radiative
effects for accurate understanding of Arctic BC and its climate impacts.
Was there a volcanic-induced long-lasting cooling over the Northern Hemisphere in the mid-6th–7th century?

Published: July 2022

Abstract. The climate of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) in the mid-6th century was one of the coldest during the last 2 millennia based on multiple paleo-proxies. While the onset of this cold period can be clearly connected to the volcanic eruptions in 536 and 540 Common Era (CE), the duration, extent, and magnitude of the cold period are uncertain. Proxy data are sparse for the first millennium, which compounds the uncertainties of the reconstructions.
To better understand the mechanisms of the prolonged cooling, we analyze new transient simulations over the Common Era and enhance the representation of mid-6th to 7th century climate by additional ensemble simulations covering 520–680 CE. We use the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model to apply the external forcing as recommended in the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project phase 4. After the four large eruptions in 536, 540, 574, and 626 CE, a significant mean surface climate response in the NH lasting up to 20 years is simulated.
The 2 m air temperature shows a cooling over the Arctic in winter, corresponding to the increase in Arctic sea ice, mainly in the Labrador Sea and to the east of Greenland. The increase in sea-ice extent relates to a decrease in the northward ocean heat transport into the Arctic within the first 2 years after the eruptions and to an increase in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which peaks 10 years after the eruptions. A decrease in the global ocean heat content is simulated after the eruptions that does not recover during the simulation period. These ocean–sea-ice interactions sustain the surface cooling, as the cooling lasts longer than is expected solely from the direct effects of the volcanic forcing, and are thus responsible for the multi-decadal surface cooling. In boreal summer, the main cooling occurs over the continents at midlatitudes. A dipole pattern develops with high sea level pressure and a decrease in both precipitation and evaporation poleward of 40∘ N. In addition, more pronounced cooling over land compared to ocean leads to an enhanced land–sea contrast.
While our model ensemble simulations show a similar ∼20-year summer cooling over NH land after the eruptions as tree ring reconstructions, a volcanic-induced century-long cooling, as reconstructed from tree ring data, does not occur in our simulations.
Drones as Techno-legal Assemblages
Authors: Smith Adam
Published: July 2022

The US drone strike programme has prompted debate between pro- and anti-drone lawyers over interpretations of self-defence and the laws of war. The debate frequently neglects the effects of drone technology on interpreting these laws. This article argues that drone strikes are best understood as techno-legal assemblages that combine technoscience and law to make killing lawful. The argument proceeds in three parts. Part one analyses the formal legal debate concerning drone strikes. The seeds of the debate are in the US’s response to terrorism in the 1980s, when it developed legal strategies to overcome the obstacles of territorial sovereignty and the ban on assassination. The contemporary debate on the law of self-defence divides into supporters and critics of the US’s legal position. However, the debate neglects what critical drone scholars have argued is an essential link between drone technology and legal ambiguity. Part two analyses the technoscientific practices of drone strikes and how they interpret and implement the laws of war. Armed drones are part of a widespread surveillance system that converts people into information, which the US uses to target individuals. The thresholds that distinguish between military and civilian objects, and that delineate the spaces, temporal order, and legal subjects of conflict, are all interpreted through the lens of the surveillance system. These techno-legal practices become a legal justification for drone killing that goes beyond positive law. Part three argues that drone strikes are techno-legal assemblages that are part of a general collective of assemblages of control. The enmeshing of law and technology in drone strikes reflects the expansion of the law to cover more subjects and more areas. Drone strikes, then, are not a radical break from the law, but a techno-legal continuation of patterns of colonial warfare.

The research objective was to analyse the incorporation effect of gambier filtrate and rosella flower petals extract on mechanical properties and antioxidant activity of canna starch-based active edible film. This research used an experimental method consisting of two treatments, namely gambier filtrate (A): A1 = 3, A2 = 4, and A3 = 5 (% v/v), as well as rosella flower petals extract (B): B1 = 2, B2 = 4 and B3 = 6 (% v/v) and each treatment was replicated three times. The results showed that the two treatment interactions significantly influenced elongation percentage, water vapour transmission rate, and antioxidant activity. The edible film’s thickness, tensile strength, and water vapour transmission rate were 0.096-0.124 mm, 1.89-3.38 MPa, and 12.99-17.04 g.m-2.d-1, respectively. The edible film contains an antioxidant compound of the strong category with IC50 values of 34.53 to 48.02 ppm. Treatment of A3B2 [gambier filtrate 5% (v/v) and rosella flower petals extract 4% (v)] was the best treatment. This edible film is generally suitable for application as a packaging material for food having high lipid content to inhibit the oxidation process of that food.

The issue of rational nutrition of children is still extremely relevant and an effective factor in ensuring the preservation of the life and health of children. Pathological conditions associated with intolerance to certain components of food are increasingly common. Biologically complete products play an important role in the organization of rational nutrition of children, which can be created only in industrial production conditions. When assessing the chemical composition of experimental goat meat samples (Zaanenskaya, Alpine, Nubian), no abnormal deviations were detected, and all indicators were in the generally accepted contents of this type of animal muscle tissue. The mineral composition showed that goat meat is rich in such elements as potassium – 1693.22 – 4125.83 mg/kg; sodium – 852.27 – 1518 mg/kg, magnesium – 125.33 – 295.8 mg/kg; calcium – 79.27 – 160.79 mg/kg, iron 11.42-87.52 mg/kg. The vitamin composition of goat meat showed that the content of pantothenic acid (B5) was 0.53 – 0.62 mg / 100g, pyridoxine (B6) 0.52 – 0.64 mg/100g tocopherol 0.27 – 0.33 mg/100g. The mass fraction of goat meat proteins was 2.1 ±0.3 – 2.4 ±0.4%. The study of the dynamics of changes in the composition of protein fractions based on the results of comparative studies of the ratio of sarcoplasmic proteins showed the content of water-soluble (1.75 – 4.06%), salt-soluble (1.75 – 2.44%), alkali-soluble (11.15 – 15.10%) proteins. The salt-soluble fraction reflects the total changes in the state of protein fractions, the solubility of which was not the same for the rocks under consideration (the highest concentration was determined in the Nubian rock).

Comparative morphology of gill apparatus of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
Authors: Stepanova N. A. , Safronov D. I.
Published: July 2022

Common carp and African catfish belong to the Cyprinidae (Cypriniformes) and Catfish (Siluriformes) orders, respectively. They are characterized by a different habitat, as a result of which the structure of the gill apparatus has a number of features [3]. The article describes the macroscopic and microscopic morphology of the gills of the represented fish species. Each of them had four complete pairs of gills, and the fifth was rudimentary without gill filaments. The gill rakers of carp tended to be short and widely spaced compared to the long and thin rakers of catfish. The gill filaments of the carp were longer than those of the African catfish, indicating a larger area of the gill surface in the former species. All gill regions, as seen from light microscopy, are covered with mucous epithelium.
Chronic renal failure in aged cats changes in hematological parameters and evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment in small veterinary clinics

Published: July 2022

The article presents the results of hematological studies in aged cats with chronic renal insufficiency. The aim is to study changes in hematological parameters in aged cats with chronic renal failure and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment in small veterinary clinics. The studies were performed on sick animals belonging to private owners (n=24). A total of 66 samples of blood and blood serum were examined. Clinical and hematological studies were carried out according to methods generally accepted in veterinary practice.

Unidirectional changes in the level of red blood indicators were revealed in aged cats, which is associated with the depletion of compensatory capabilities of the red bone marrow. In the blood serum of age-related patients, the content of nitrogenous products (total protein, urea, creatinine) was increased, indicating the fourth stage of renal dysfunction on the IRIS scale. Thus, in aged animals with chronic renal insufficiency syndrome, a decrease in the rate of hematopoiesis and glomerular filtration of the kidneys, a tendency to hepatopathy, osseopathy and changes in the elemental composition of the internal environment of the body were established. The treatment was carried out with the transfer to the Renal series feed and the improvement of the drinking regime

Etiotropic therapy included oral administration of sinulox at the rate of 12.5 mg / kg of body weight, twice a day, for 5- 7 days. Substitution treatment included intravenous administration of saline solution. Symptomatic treatment consisted of intramuscular administration of pyridoxine and cyancobalamin, oral use of the drug "bio-iron" in courses of 10 procedures.

Two patients died. The 15 out of 22 cats showed an improvement in clinical indicators and an increase in body weight. The use of treatment of age-related patients with symptoms of stage IV chronic renal failure for 10 days allowed to stimulate appetite, improve diuresis and thirst, stop inflammatory processes in the body and support hematopoiesis, reduce the level of nitrogen-containing metabolites. But it is impossible to achieve a complete restoration of the functional activity of all organs.

Angle’s class II division 1 malocclusion is a condition where the maxillary first molar occludes in a mesial position in relation to the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar, altering the sagittal relationship between the jaws. The objective of the present study is to report a clinical case of treatment of Angle’s class II division 1 malocclusion in a 10-year-old female patient who was in the second transitional period of mixed dentition. The patient had mild to moderate crowding, due to lack of space to accommodate the lateral incisors and permanent canines in the maxillary arch. The proposed treatment was the use of the AEB for the distalization of the maxillary first molars, aiming at the correction of the class II molar relationship and, consequently, favoring the gain of space in the arch for the alignment of the crowded elements. According to the results presented at the end of the treatment, it was possible to observe the effectiveness of the headgear in the correction of class II molars and in the gain of arch space for the permanent incisors and canines.

Published: July 2022

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) was adopted by most higher learning institutions when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world. Its implementation at an unprecedented speed and haste caused difficulties for students, especially those who were not digitally savvy. As such, the ACE website was created to help students overcome their difficulties, especially with regard to completing their English course assignments. It has tools and apps and a step-by-step user guide to create interactive and attractive presentations. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the university students' perspectives on ACE to help them complete their English course assignments during ODL. A pre-ACE and a post-ACE online questionnaire were administered using non-probability sampling and quota sampling. The total sample size was 186 respondents who completed both the pre-and post-survey. The findings show that most students have positive perceptions of the ability of ACE to help them prepare interactive and attractive presentations. More students rated themselves better after using ACE to imbed slide presentations with video and audio. Post ACE data revealed that students have become better at preparing presentations using PowerPoint and Canva. After using ACE, many students seem to have shifted to the VN video editing app from previously using Filmora. Overall, the study indicates ACE has helped students prepare better presentations for English courses.

Authors: Afifuddin A.
Published: July 2022

This study analyzes liquidity, solvency, and profitability of stock prices in construction and building companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2016-2021. The sample in this study is construction and building companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), which is selected based on specific criteria using the Purpose Sampling Method. The analysis used in this study is the Regression Analysis. The results of this study show that liquidity variables have a positive and significant effect on stock prices, and solvency variables have a positive and significant impact on stock prices. In contrast, profitability variables have a positive but insignificant effect on stock prices. The current ratio can be a useful measure of a company’s short-term solvency when it is placed in the context of what has been historically normal for the company and its peer group. It also offers more insight when calculated repeatedly over several periods. What makes the current ratio good or bad often depends on how it is changing. A company that seems to have an acceptable current ratio could be trending toward a situation in which it will struggle to pay its bills. Conversely, a company that may appear to be struggling now could be making good progress toward a healthier current ratio.

Furthermore, a proficient operational process of wheat flour mill industry based on raw materials requirements and production cost using linear programming method with MATLAB application to optimize the operational process of wheat flour production plant by maximizing raw material resources and minimizing production cost using a modified milling process flow chart for enhanced products yield from the milling of the whole wheat grains, and a monthly analysis of the available wheat resource for production and machine hours operated during each month. The results after computing the average supply of wheat and available machine hours as variables and modelled into linear programming equations for optimization showed increase in semolina production, reduction in wheat flour production and reduction in production cost of baking flour respectively. In addition, the profit generated showed a significant increase in the months of December at ₦164,850.00 (highest) when the machine hours and wheat available were at its peak. Thus, baking flour was found to be the least profitable among the three products monthly and recommendations suggested a reduction in its production cost to enable profitability in its production

Food and drug administration (FDA) benchmark study for biomedical flow transition. An idealized medical device is presented and CFD predictions of pressure and velocity are compared against experimental measurements of pressure and velocity. The fluid flow transitions considered laminar (Re=500), transitional (Re =2000), and turbulent (Re=6500) with various turbulence fluid flow simulation models of laminar, k-omega, k-omega SST and k-epsilon based on inlet throat Reth. = 500, 2000 and 6500. Axial velocity at centreline for Reth = 500, 2000 and 6500 at line X =0, showed maximum difference of 77.4% for velocity at centerline at 0.08m and 19% for wall pressure at -0.09m sudden expansion at laminar region of Re = 500. Good agreement with simulation happened at 65.6% and 17.2% transition Re =2000. At turbulent region Re = 6500, all models were in good agreement at 49.6% velocity centerline and 8.10% pressure drop, But in laminar legion, downstream of the simulation of Reth =6500, other models disappeared which demonstrated K-epsilon model is best at higher Reynolds turbulent region. Emphatically, from 0 to -120N/m2 counterbalanced at Reth = 500 wall pressure showed negligible axial pressure gradient at centerline with drop in normalization point of experimental data.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of pulmonary airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. Chronic inflammation is responsible for increased serum total Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, specific IgE, and blood eosinophils (B-Eos) count. We aimed in the present study to determine quantitative physiological traits: serum total IgE, and B-Eos count and assess their correlation with skin prick test (SPT) among Sudanese asthmatics, and evaluate these findings with the persistence of developing asthma. 281 subjects; 146 asthmatics and 135 controls were recruited. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and SPT for commonly encountered allergens were performed using the standard methods. Serum total IgE was measured using the ELISA technique, and blood smears for B-Eos count were measured using a colter counter. An interview questionnaire was filled out for each individual to determine the duration of the disease, allergic status, and environmental factors. In the majority of asthmatics; Positive SPT response to seven allergens (P < 0.01), the highest exposure allergen was found to be mixed molds (85.3%), and the strongest sensitized allergen was house dust mite (HDM) (P <0.001). Serum total IgE and B-Eos count were highest (P<0.001) having a significant positive SPT response (P<0.001). Conclusion: There is a strong association between sensitization to some allergens and asthma. High serum total IgE levels, and high eosinophil count has been found to be correlated with asthma

Background: Ayushman Bharat Program was announced by Government of India in February 2018 with a vision, which is supposed to deliver comprehensive primary health care services to the entire population. Objectives: To obtain views of FLWs about their changing role at health & wellness centre and the challenges being faced by them in service delivery. Methods: A qualitative study done in 10 Health and wellness centres selected nearby Narayan Medical College & Hospital of Rohtas District of Bihar. The frontline workers posted in the selected HWCs were the study participants. Total duration of the study was 10 months. IDI of FLWs were done and the analysis of the verbatims was done using ATLAS-Ti (Free trial version) software. Results: After analysis of the verbatims two broad themes were made and there were several domains & codes under which the result was stated. It was observed that the frontline workers posted at the selected health & wellness centres were aware of the expanded range of services like yoga, school health, geriatric & palliative care being provided but they were also facing some challenges like manpower, equipment, working hour in service delivery.
Application of stacking ensemble technique in agriculture for prediction of crop yield

In comparison to other methodologies, Machine Learning has proven to be an effective tool for making reasonable predictions. Initially, a single machine learning model is used on data to make predictions; however, instead of using a single machine learning model, a collection of ML models is employed instead. Models can reduce prediction variance, bias, or both. The result provided will be more appealing and correct if appropriate features affecting the prediction values are supplied. This study presents a framework for selecting feature subsets using the L2 regularization feature selection technique. The study took into account 11 crops and 15 characteristics from 300 districts across India. For predicting yield, basic learners' models such as Linear Regression, LASSO Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Support Vector Machines are initially trained and tested. Base learners are used to create the stacking ensemble and the proposed optimum stacking ensemble. In terms of the performance measures employed, the proposed Optimized stacking ensemble shows approximately (MSE =6408, Accuracy=85%) outperforms the Normal stacking ensemble (MSE=8315, Accuracy=83%).

Background: Emergency nurses make a difference in the lives of people every day, every shift, although it is more dissatisfied than nurses in other departments. Nurses frequently endure psychological, emotional, and physical stress at work, and many are unsatisfied with their work context, which results in poorer morale and negatively impacts the quality of healthcare services provided to clients. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between work context and job satisfaction among emergency nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted by convenient sample of 104 nurses was selected, that includes nurses working at emergency units in the Al-Hilla city. The questionnaire's dependability was established through a pilot research, and it was subsequently presented to experts for validation. The questionnaire contained a total of 20 items for the work context and 24 items for job satisfaction. The information was gathered through interviews and evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis methods. Results: The study's findings revealed that there was a strong (positive) association between the two variables nurses' job satisfaction level and their work context (r=0.328; p=0.001).

Social awareness of deviance
Authors: Mohammad Shamil S. , Longkumer Imtirenla
Published: July 2022

Aberration in social behaviour seems to provide the theoretical ground to understand social relations. This is because the aberration foregrounds the underbelly of social relations. It is in and through aberration, that one can properly analyze the basis for sociality. Knowledge of ‘insanity’ is not new to the natives of Malabar. However, there are many contradicting conceptions and heterogeneous healing practices around insanity within the community. There have been studies on the treatment method of madness and its evolution from traditional to modern medical sciences in Kerala. This paper attempts to take the study further to concentrate on the social awareness of madness in the cultural context of Malabar, Kerala and an attempt to engage with the role of neighbourhood in understanding aberrance.
