Authors: Egwumah Ojochenemi Rebecca , Kayode Rowland Monday-Ojo , Kayode Bukola Idowu , Abdulkadir Aliyu Ndabokun
Published: August 2023

The by-product of soybean processing, soybean-hull, can have its fibre broken down by solid-state fermentation to improve digestibility and nutrient absorption. This research investigated the impacts of microbial strains in a solid-state fermentation on quality characteristics of soybean-hull. Soybean-hull was inoculated with a mono-culture of fungal (Aspergillus oryzae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and bacterial species (Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum) while unfermented soybean-hull served as control at (27±2oC) for 0hour, 24hours, 48hours and 72hours. At 24hours of fermentation, pH ranged from 6.17-6.42. TSS decreased significantly (p < 0.05) while TTA gradually increased in all samples. Soybean-hull with L plantarum at 24hours of fermentation had the highest value of iron (3.18 mg/l). Ca:P interactions were influenced, as there was an increase from 0.15 in the control to 3.45 in L. plantarum at 72hours. The protein (4.98-22.42%), lipid (3.58-21.04%), moisture (7.07-8.23%) increased significantly (P < 0.05) while carbohydrate (36.29-26.04%) and fibre (60.32-15.97%) decreased as fermentation progresses. Phytate and trypsin inhibitors reduced significantly. Fibre fractions of the fermented substrate decreased except NDS which increased. This study revealed that fermented soybean-hulls innoculated with Bacillus substilis and Aspergillus oryzae at 72hours offers better nutritional values and could be adopted as a new nutrient source.

Authors: Syafitri Febriyani , Ishak Gos , Samryn L.M.
Published: August 2023

The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of various financial indicators on the Return on Assets (ROA) at PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) between 2018 and 2022. The research adopts a quantitative approach and utilizes the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method, with data processing conducted using Eviews 13. The findings reveal the financial performance of PT Pelindo one year post-merger, indicating that the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and ROA have experienced an increase of 0.06% and 20.85%, respectively. On the other hand, the Current Ratio (CR) and BOPO have both decreased, with a decline of 37.25% and 0.18%, respectively. Hypothesis testing results demonstrate that the individual factors, including CR, DER, BOPO, and GDP growth, do not exert a significant influence on ROA. Furthermore, when considered together, their combined impact remains statistically insignificant. Interestingly, the study finds that the Firm Size has a moderating effect, enhancing the influence of CR, DER, BOPO, and GDP Growth on ROA. This suggests that the size of the firm plays a role in strengthening the relationship between these financial ratios and the company's overall profitability. This quantitative research sheds light on the financial dynamics of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) following its merger. While specific financial indicators show changes, they do not significantly affect ROA individually or collectively. However, the interaction of Firm Size with the aforementioned ratios demonstrates a noteworthy correlation with ROA, highlighting the importance of considering firm size when analyzing financial performance.

2023/15 Appointment of military chaplains and religious discrimination (IR)

An Irish Workplace Relations Commission (‘WRC’) adjudication has found that the complainant, who was an atheist, was discriminated against on grounds of religion. The respondent government department was ordered to review the process of appointing military chaplains to ensure compliance with the Irish Employment Equality Act 1998 (‘EEA’). The scope of this adjudication relates to the ability to apply for a role and whether this constituted discrimination on grounds of religion. The complainant asserted that he was discriminated against by the Department of Defence (the respondent) in the appointment of a military chaplain at Aiken Barracks and Gormanston Army Camp on 6 November 2020 as he was an atheist. The respondent denied the claim, relying on Section 37(2) of the EEA and the occupational requirements relating to chaplaincy to the Defence Forces, in particular the role of the chaplain in conflict zones, notably Lebanon. The respondent alleged that chaplains build contacts with local religious leaders and a Christian chaplain would be more accepted by certain communities in Lebanon than a humanist chaplain would be, and thus amounted to a ‘genuine occupational requirement’ within the meaning of Section 37(2) of the EEA.

Published: August 2023

Towards the end of 2019, a novel contagious virus (COVID-19) came out of Wuhan, China and turned into a disastrous pandemic. Many countries were locked down; completely or partially. The ongoing pandemic not only affected our economies and routine life, but also the environment. This study was aimed to compare the air quality of the Indian subcontinent prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, air quality parameters (ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, PM2.5 and PM10) and meteorological parameters (wind speed and relative humidity) were analysed. The data was obtained from 229 monitoring stations in India and satellite-based Aerosol Absorption Index (AAI) during the springs of 2019 and 2020. The result indicated a significant decline in the concentration mean, six air pollutants (i.e., PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, O3 and CO) decreased by 36.27, 42.96, 44.62, 28.88, 18.35 and 20.51 %, respectively during April 2020 due to less to no industrial activities and vehicular emissions. The spatial variation of each parameter was simulated using the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation method. An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model was applied to generate the overall air quality severity zonation map of the country. The zonation map indicated that by adopting cleaner fuel and restriction on biomass burning in the rural and urban sectors can improve the ambient air quality.

Published: August 2023

This study examines the moderation effect of age on the influence of Shift Work Practices on the dimensions of organisational citizenship behaviours (OCB). Data were collected from 330 randomly-selected medics working in Tanzania’s government hospitals. Results from the analysis conducted using Structural Equation Modelling with AMOS indicate statistically significant direct effects of shift work practices on all the three dimensions of OCB namely, conscientiousness, sportsmanship and civic virtue. Results also show that age significantly moderates the influence of shift-work practices on sportsmanship and civic virtue. The findings imply that how shift-work practices influence OCB behaviours isn't straightforward — it changes depending on the age of the employee. This suggests that managers of government hospitals need to consider employees’ age in designing shift works to enhance employees’ OCB and subsequently service quality.

Published: August 2023

This study examines the influence of IT system quality on business value creation in commercial banks in Tanzania. Moreover, the study tests the moderating role of IT knowledge management on the influence of IT system quality on business value creation. Data was collected using a questionnaire filled by heads of marketing and finance from all 35 commercial banks in Tanzania and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling through SmartPLS. The findings revealed that there is a positive and significant influence of IT systems quality on business value creation and IT knowledge management moderates the influence. The findings suggest that a bank with better IT quality has a high chance of creating value for the business and a bank that empowers business managers with IT knowledge has a better chance to improve the role of its IT systems in enhancing business value creation. The study provides insights into the role of business managers’ IT knowledge and skills in creating value in technology-dependent organizations in developing countries. Banks are therefore encouraged to create an environment for business managers to develop and apply their IT knowledge in executing their responsibilities.

The government needs to be more resolute in recognizing the concerns of conservatives and listening to them. In such listening and communication, unification education will be an education that enables students to have social solidarity together. In order for schools and society to resolve conflicts, they must have the driving force to actively cope with the society of ‘uncertainty due to division’. From such a standpoint, unification education should practice ‘social reflexivity’. The practice is to realize unification education that gives students appeal for resolving South-South conflicts that contain the will for unification.
The Risk of Genetic Variants and Socioeconomic Lifestyle for Insulin Resistance Traits: A Mini-review
Authors: Alneghery Lina M.
Published: August 2023

Insulin resistance is a complex metabolic characteristic that increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease which results from hypertension and dyslipidemia. The interaction of hereditary and environmental are factors driving the emergence of such disorders. Molecular techniques have now enabled the discovery of uncommon variations linked to the etiology of these disorders. Lipid metabolism is connected to various genetic variations associated with the etiology of metabolic syndrome. There are several genetic variants including epigenetic modifications alongside immunological status interference with pathogenic infectious that are directly related to insulin resistance and glucose metabolism. However, functional studies are required to determine the role of various genetic variations and other distinct factors in the development of insulin resistance. This review aims to give a broad overview of the interference of these genetic variants in the occurrence of insulin resistance. We also provide a summary of current developments in the environmental and immune factors associated with type 2 diabetes.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the use of Web-based learning media in improving student learning outcomes in class IV at SDN No. 178491 Pohan Door, Toba Samosir Regency. Pre-research results show that teachers rarely use media or materials that can motivate students. This contradicts the 2013 Curriculum, which emphasizes using electronic media to prevent boredom during learning. The research was conducted for three months, from November 2022 to January 2023, with 16 fourth-grade students as research subjects. This study uses classroom action research carried out in two cycles. Qualitative data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis by comparing cycles I and II. In contrast, quantitative data on student learning outcomes were analyzed using descriptive comparative analysis by comparing initial test scores, cycles I and II. The results showed that using Web-based learning media significantly increased the learning outcomes of fourth -grade students at SDN No. 178491 Pohan Door, Toba Samosir Regency. The average student learning outcomes increased from 62.50 at the beginning of the study to 73.13 at the end of cycle I and increased again to 85.63 at the end of cycle II. The initial completeness level of 12.50% increased to 50% at the end of cycle I and again to 100% at the end of cycle II. The results of the observer's assessment showed that student activity and teacher performance also increased from cycle I to cycle II. In conclusion, the application of Web-based learning media can positively impact student learning outcomes, increasing the level of completeness, student activity, and teacher performance. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers use Web-based learning media in the learning process to motivate and improve student learning outcomes.

Published: August 2023

The study focused on the emerging roles of human resource managers with a focus on post-COVID-19 using the Nigerian experience as the unit of analysis. It was identified among others that the advent of Coronavirus caused the world at large to suffer many consequences mainly in human health and the workplace was not excluded. The secondary source of data collection was used to elicit information and exploratory research design was adopted for the study.  It was found that the world of work in Nigeria was locked down as a preventive measure to curb the spread of the virus leading to the emergence of a new order in the workplace where work can be done from home, remote area and virtual meeting takes precedence over face-to-face interaction. It was concluded that the focus of Human Resource (HR) managers’ role should be on the well-being, health, safety, and security of employees, technology, and communication as well as reconfiguration of workflow. Thus, recommended that HR managers should avoid or be against developing a one-size - fit - all strategy to remain relevant or survive the pandemic.

Background: Postoperative pain management is vital to improve patient care. Successful postoperative pain relief is currently achieved only through NSAIDs and narcotics. Objectives: We compared dexmedetomidine and clonidine as additives to hyperbaric levobupivicaine 0.5% for the sub-arachnoid block (spinal anesthesia) concerning the onset time, duration of the block, hemodynamic changes, level of sedation intraoperatively and postoperatively and time taken for the first postoperative analgesic request and frequency. Methods: This prospective, double-blind study enrolled 60 patients who underwent lower abdominal surgeries and were eligible for a sub-arachnoid block. They were allocated randomly to one of the two groups. Group D received intrathecal dexmedetomidine 5 µg and 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivicaine 15 mg. Group C received intrathecal clonidine 50 µg and 0.5% hyperbaric levobupivicaine 15 mg. Results: Patients who received dexmedetomidine had a longer duration of the block (2-segment regression: 135 ± 15 min vs. 130 ± 20 min, S1 segment regression: 305 ± 50.4 min vs. 290 ± 47.2 min, Bromage 0: 285 ± 60 min vs. 280 ± 45 min), delayed first rescue analgesia request (700 ± 160 min vs. 506 ± 112 min), reduced frequency of rescue analgesics (1 vs. 2), and desired level of sedation (1.3 ± 0.46 vs. 0.4 ± 0.01) when compared to those receiving clonidine. There were insignificant differences between the groups in intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, such as minimal bradycardia and minimal hypotension. Though dexmedetomidine had an early onset, there was no statistically significant difference compared to clonidine. Conclusions: Comparing dexmedetomidine and clonidine as additives in the sub-arachnoid block, the group who received dexmedetomidine had similar onset, prolonged duration of blockade, delayed first rescue analgesia demand, reduced frequency of analgesics, and desired sedation with similar minimal hemodynamic changes such as bradycardia and hypotension.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an acquired brain tissue injury with different severities that leads to a change in the patient’s level of consciousness. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the impact of foot reflexology massage and familiar sensory stimulation on the level of consciousness of trauma patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Zahedan in 2021. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design on 135 trauma patients with an altered level of consciousness admitted to the ICUs of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Zahedan in 2021. The participants were selected using convenience sampling from the patients who met the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to 3 groups: Foot reflexology massage, familiar sensory stimulation, and control groups (each with 45 patients). The foot reflexology massage group received reflex massage on both feet for 30 minutes, the familiar sensory stimulation group received familiar sensory stimulation for 45 minutes, and the control group received ICU routine care. The interventions were carried out for 1 week in 2 morning and evening shifts. The patient’s consciousness level was measured and recorded using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 5 minutes before and 30 minutes after the intervention. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, as well as using analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired samples t-test, independent samples t-test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at a significance level of 0.05 (P < 0.05). Results: The data showed that the average consciousness score for the patients in both foot reflexology massage and familiar sensory stimulation groups increased significantly after the intervention compared to the control group (P = 0.001), but the 2 interventions were not significantly different in improving the level of consciousness of the patients. Conclusions: Foot reflexology massage and familiar sensory stimulation were both equally effective in increasing the level of consciousness of trauma patients with an altered level of consciousness, and none of them was superior to the other. Thus, nurses can use these 2 complementary medicine methods to speed up the improvement of consciousness of patients with TBI.
