One of the most crucial resources for supporting life on Earth is water. It is necessary for everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, and taking a shower. Water supply systems in residential areas are often administered by municipal corporations or other governing organizations. This project mainly focuses on the IoT-based solution for the automation of the water tank filling system in our residential area. In this project two Esp8266 MCUs connected to the same cloud channel are used, one will be at the Water Source side and the other will be at the Tank side.If the water level in the tank is low, the Esp8266 will send the Motor ON signal to the ThingSpeak IoT Cloud, and the Esp8266 at the river or dam side, which is also connected to the same cloud channel, will read that signal and turn the 'Motor ON'. The other microcontroller at the river/dam side will turn the motor OFF if the tank is full because the Esp8266 sends the "Motor OFF signal" over the cloud. Additionally, the user is given access to a web interface that shows graphs and indications so they may study and examine the data coming from the system.

Authors: Yuzhen Jin , Samad Arshad Abdul , Noordin Nooreen
Published: October 2023

Sociologists and communication theorists have defined narrative analysis as a way to form a social identity as early as the 1980s Barkhuizen, Benson, and Chik (2013). Besides, narrative analysis shares the concept of knowledge transmission, which is a theory that aims to communicate unquantifiable qualities of knowledge like experience and life stories. Nevertheless, it has not been specified how far the narrative analysis has gotten in language education studies due to varied understandings of the term. As a result, it is critical for researchers to conduct a more thorough literature assessment of narrative analysis in this discipline. This study examines the body of literature on narrative analysis in current language education studies. The method employed in this study is a systematic literature review, which includes pre-set criteria in selecting academic publications to be surveyed over a five-year period (1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022) and a qualitative synthesis of the findings. Based on a revised Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow, this study arrives at a holistic and systematic assessment of this approach over the last five years to guide future research in language education studies through description and analysis of the titles, abstracts, keywords, and full papers (when necessary) of the selected 10 academic articles out of 234. The main findings are as follows. 1?Narrative analysis is now used to investigate student identity creation and teacher professional development. 2?The majority of the current study's participants are non-English speaking teachers. 3) Typically, the sample size is no more than seven. 4) Text analysis and interviews are the two main research techniques. 5) Speaking and writing are the main topics of the current studies. 6)Due to its ability to elicit unique viewpoints, narrative analysis is used in language education research, but the amount is not high.

The study described the Vitamin B12 levels among the Type II DM patients, which could alert the patients who are in the low and borderline range of serum Vitamin B12, which may prevent the risk of peripheral neuropathic complications and anaemic conditions, etc. Findings: Totally, 387 patients were enrolled as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 232 males (59.94%) and 155 females (40.05%). A total of 39 patients had been observed to have low levels of Vitamin B12, among them 23 females (Mean 184.17 ±  S.D. 10.69) and 16 males (Mean 185.31± S.D 7.56), followed by 16 patients found to be above the normal range of Vitamin B12, among them 02 females (Mean 991 ±  S.D. 15.55) and 14 males (Mean 1578.14 ±  S.D. 406.93), followed by 76 patients had been found to be borderline of Vitamin B12, among them 43 females (Mean 220.76 ± S.D 6.50). Conclusion: High doses of chronic Metformin therapy may alter Vitamin B12 levels. Some of the patients had an abnormally high level of serum Vitamin B12, whose medical condition should be ruled out, and such Patients’ diet histories were also cross-examined, which was a mixed normal diet, and they had various medical conditions. However, the high chances of metformin-associated effects on Vitamin B12 with higher doses and long-term therapy of metformin, whose duration was 10 to 20 years, Moreover, age is also an important factor, and the study reveals that, among genders, female populations had a higher rate of low-level Vitamin B12 than male populations. Patients in the age group between 50 and 65 years had a higher rate of low-level Vitamin B12 than other age groups, total 20 patients, among them 12 females (Mean 183.08 ± S.D. 13.17) and 8 males (Mean 185.5 ± S.D. 4.3). Patients with other comorbid conditions also had low levels and borderline levels of Vitamin B12 and had been on long-term metformin therapy. Further, homocysteine investigations had been done on low and borderline vitamin B12 patients. Investigation of homocysteine had been done on low range (39) and border line (76) of vitamin B12 patients. Among Low vitamin B12, 13 patients have elevated level of Homocysteine (6 males & 7 females). Among border line of vitamin B12, 4 patients (2 males and 3 females) have elevated level of Homocysteine. Therefore, our study concluded that chronic therapy and higher doses of metformin may lead to a deficit in serum Vitamin B12, which requires regular checks on Vitamin B12 among Type 2 DM patients to avoid the risk of Peripheral neuropathy and other complications.

Методом електронного парамагнiтного резонансу дослiджено властивостi спiвполiмеру БСП-7, високомiцних i високомодульних кевлароподiбних органiчних волокон (ОВ) терлону та внiївлону в ролi наповнювачiв, а також компози-тiв БСП-7/ОВ. Встановлено наявнiсть та визначено властивостi дефектiв рiзного типу i магнiтних домiшок у вихiдних матерiалах та виготовлених композитах. Виявлено вплив взаємодiї матрицi з наповнювачами та оточуючим середовищем. У терлонi зареєстровано значну концентрацiю азотовмiсних радикалiв, пов’язаних iз наявнiстю мономерiв дiамiнiв у його структурi, що може негативно впливати на фiзико-механiчнi характеристики композитiв. З урахуванням отриманих даних розроблено ефективнi органопластики БСП-7/ОВ. Вимiрювання їх трибологiчних властивостей показали, що додавання оптимальної концентрацiї ОВ до полiмерної матрицi БСП-7 сприяє значному змен-шенню коефiцiєнта тертя, iнтенсивностi лiнiйного зношування та тепловидiлення. Кращi результати показали композити з терлоном, що пояснюється не тiльки його бiльш високим модулем пружностi, а i високим ступенем кристалiчностi структури, на вiдмiну вiд внiївлону з його майже аморфною гетероциклiчною структурою. Крiм того, процес синтезу композитiв передбачає застосування достатньо високих температур i тиску, в результатi чого азотнi радикали терлону руйнуються, i їхнiй негативний вплив на довготермiнову стабiльнiсть характеристик композита нiвелюється.
Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Nanocomposite Polymer

One-dimensional nanostructures of PANI: PVA-g-EI nanocomposite are prepared by the interfacial polymerization method. The properties of a resulting green powder are studied by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Prepared thin films were characterized by UV-Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The XRD pattern of the nanocomposite shows that the higher volume fraction of crystalline phases corresponds to the PANI polymer with the accepted monoclinic unit cell of PVA. Nano-sized irregular particles arranged in clusters appear in the TEM measurements and SEM images, which testifies to the agglomeration without uniform packing. EDX confirms that the PVA-g-EI is incorporated in the structure of the polymer nanocomposite. A significant shift in the absorption edge with three PL independent emission peaks again confirms that PANI/PVA-g-EI form a nanocomposite.

“Sorry, I don’t good English”: Japanese L2 students’ written peer feedback in the face-to-face and anonymous review modes
Authors: Kim Sugene
Published: October 2023

To verify and extend the previous research claim that L2 students from collectivistic Asian cultures are resistant to criticizing others’ work due to a desire to preserve group cohesion, this study explored whether anonymity helps ameliorate their alleged reluctance to give negative feedback. Nineteen Japanese L2 students reviewed essays in the face-to-face and anonymous modes, and their feedback comments were comparatively analyzed according to the types, levels of negativity, and mitigation strategies implemented. The results showed that Japanese L2 students adopt an extremely polite interpersonal rhetorical stance regardless of the peer review mode. Criticism almost always assumes a mitigated form, and it is not uncommon to employ multiple mitigation strategies or lexical hedges in a single comment. The pragmatic competence with respect to hedging disagreement or requests did not correlate with the language used or the reviewer’s L2 proficiency. These observations suggest that the use of mitigating devices is transferred from learners’ L1 repertoire, indicating that cultural attributes might not be a major factor influencing Asian students’ reluctance to provide negative feedback in peer interactions.

This protocol is an automated pipeline to clean a plate of extracted DNA using SPRI bead cleanup. It is functional for both. It is typically used to clean up a portion of extracted DNA which has suspected impurities capable of affecting downstream PCR or sequencing protocols. This is often a side effect of extraction by MagBeads with no spin-column based purifications. We have found this protocol to be effective on DNA extracted from blood, biopsy and feces in a wide range of Neotropical vertebrates. This protocol was developed and optimised for the following: Platform: Opentrons OT-2 automated pipetting robot Kit: Ampure beads and home-brewed bead solutions Tips Used: 5 boxes (2 x 200uL Opentrons Filtered Tip boxes and 3 x 20uL Opentrons Filtered Tip boxes) Number of samples: 96 V2 - This is a new version of the original protocol modified as follows: We include an updated version of the protocol python file, which is optimized to work on version 6.3.1. Note Version 1 protocol's file is likely to glitch, so please use this file instead. To assist with implementing this new protocol in your lab, we also include a simplified version of the python file for a test water run in Section 2. The test reduces incubation times, and works for samples in multiples of 8, so you can test only 8 for a quicker version of the protocol. Error correction: OT-2 Single Channel Electronic Pipette P20 was changed to OT-2 8-Channel Electronic Pipette P20. Starting sample clean up volume was changed to 25uL from 15uL and all subsequent calculations and descriptions were changed to reflect this. Note: You can alter these volumes easily as well. Bead ratio was changed to 1.5X and all subsequent calculations and descriptions were changed to reflect this.Note: this can also be altered to match your specific use case.

This study aims to test the LC50 toxicity activity of brine shrimp using four samples of marine biota. The LC50 toxicity activity has the potential as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer agent that needs to be studied further before being used as an industrial-scale natural product, this study is basic research on the brine shrimp lethality test. The test was carried out using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT), which analyzes the number of deaths of shrimp larvae to determine the level of toxicity of an ingredient. The marine biota samples used were Rhizopora sp., Sargassum sp., Halimeda sp., Diadema setosum. The manufacturing stage begins with making extracts and hatching artemia, then toxicity tests are carried out within 24 hours with different concentrations of sample solutions. The results of this research show that the sample extracts that have the highest to lowest toxicity values respectively are Rhizopora sp., Sargassum sp., Halimeda sp., Diadema setosum. with a value of 870.96 µg/mL; 745.05 µg/mL; 697.97 µg/mL; 575.4 µg/mL.

Background: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a debilitating condition marked by the presence of intrusive obsessions and repetitive compulsions. The primary care setting often serves as the first line of contact for individuals grappling with mental health issues, making it a crucial frontier in the early detection and management of OCD. Therefore, the accurate diagnosis of OCD in such settings is essential for effective management. Objective: This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic process for OCD, emphasizing the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and various diagnostic tools available. Additionally, it explores current strategies for managing OCD, including pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions. Methodology: For this review, a comprehensive literature search was conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed databases. Keywords such as "Diagnosis," "obsessive compulsive disorder," and "management" were employed to narrow down relevant studies. Both qualitative and quantitative research papers were included, while non-English publications and those lacking peer-review were excluded. Results: Core symptoms of OCD include obsessions and compulsions, with the Y-BOCS being a standard measure for diagnosis. Differential diagnosis is essential to distinguish OCD from other conditions. SSRIs have been recognized as first-line pharmacological treatments. CBT, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention, remains a potent psychotherapeutic intervention. Emerging treatments like DBS and TMS offer hope for those unresponsive to conventional treatments. Combination therapies have shown enhanced efficacy in certain cases. Conclusion: The meticulous diagnosis of OCD requires recognizing its core symptoms, ruling out other conditions, and leveraging validated clinical tools. A multi-faceted management approach combining pharmacological and psychological treatments ensures optimal patient outcomes, with ongoing research introducing promising new interventions.
