Published: July 2023

The symptoms of truancy are often associated with the ways in which students follow learning. It is linked to Multiple Intelligences which contribute to each student's own interests, especially in determining the direction of the chosen field of study. The basic elements of Multiple Intelligence include Kinesthetic, Musical, Naturalistic, Visual-Spatial, Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Intrapersonal and Interpersonal. The main objective of this study is to study Multiple Intelligences and truancy problems among students in secondary schools. In addition, this study also aims to identify the dominant intelligence domain among students from low-income families at Perlis State High School who are experiencing truancy problems. The respondents of this study consisted of 94 students from low-income families at secondary schools in the Malaysian state of Perlis. The questionnaire method used in this study shows that the dominant intelligence among the respondents is interpersonal intelligence, while the second is body kinesthetic intelligence, and the third dominant is intrapersonal intelligence. The findings of the study show that the level of interpersonal intelligence of the study respondents is at a high level (mean=2.65, sd=0.97). The study indicates that teachers and school administrators should be sensitive to the different intelligences of each individual student. This study provides a starting point for the parties concerned to find appropriate solutions to related problems in an effort to produce a generation that can contribute to national development.

Manual lifting is a necessary job duty that is frequently associated with occupational damage. The   main goal ofstrategies to lower the risk of injuries is to make sure that workers are physically capable of performing essential jobduties safely. The aim of this study was to investigate anthropometric characteristics associated with manual liftingactivities. Three hundred and eighty-four (384) subjects comprising 337 males and 47 females from three (3) foodmanufacturing companies participated in the survey. Measurement of the body segments was done using anthropometer,vernier caliper and the weighing scale and analysed using statistical analysis of measures of dispersion and 2 tail t-test analysis at 5% significance level to find the relationship between the male and female population. The results indicated that there is no significant difference between the Wrist-to- Foot and the Knee-Joint-to-Leg-Wrist. However, the other twelve (12) body segment measurements show there are significant differences in the means of the male and the female population. Conclusively, the human body plays a crucial role in the design of human-machine interfaces (HMI). This study has highlighted the necessity of conducting a robust anthropometry survey in Nigeria for the user population. Such information can be utilised to set up the workspace in a way that will improve its ergonomic suitability, functional efficacy, and human convenience.Keywords: Anthropometry, Characterisation, Musculoskeletal, Ergonomics,

The Komering River flows through the OKI (Ogan Komering Ilir) district. Along with the number of settlements, there are also many population activities such as floating net cages (KJA) activities, especially in the district of Sp. Padang as well as the disposal of household waste in the Komering River is increasing. Some of the people in the village of Sp.Padang uses the Komering river for their daily needs, where water quality is the main requirement in influencing survival. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of water quality as the cause of the Sp. river water cage field. The type of data collected is primary data. The study was conducted at 3 stations on the river Sp. Padang field. The physico and chemical indicator of river water used are: turbidity, temperature, pH, TSS, DO, BOD, CO, water discharge and current velocity. The data obtained from the laboratory were then analyzed, then comparisons were made with the Storet method. Sampling for water quality replaces the surrounding area with direct measurements and measurements made in the laboratory. The use of the Storet method refers to PP No. 82 of 2001. The principle of the Storet method is to combine information on river water quality with river water standards and then adjust it according to its use, by classifying water quality into four classes. The results of the activity (KJA) in the waters of the Sp. Padang river are classified as bad (heavy polluted) class D  where KJA activity has an influence on the water quality of the Sirah River in Padang Island, OKI Regency.
À La Recherche Des Facteurs Explicatifs De La Baisse De La Production Halieutique Dans Le Département De Bouaflé (Côte d’Ivoire)
Authors: Thiéry St Urbain YEBOUE Konan , DOSSO Yaya
Published: July 2023

Dans certaines localités où la pêche occupe une place importante dans la vie économique des populations, la baisse de la production est généralement liée à la pêche illégale, non déclarée et non réglementées. Pourtant, il existe des normes et des institutions mondiales, régionales et locales qui doivent veiller au respect des principes du développement durable halieutique.Le département de Bouaflé, localité à pêche continentale, enregistre une baisse régulière de sa production, suscitant ainsi un regard scientifique. Ainsi, cette étude recherche les facteurs explicatifs de la baisse de la production halieutique dans le département de Bouaflé. Pour y parvenir, la démarche à la fois qualitative et quantitative a été circonscrite à la fouille documentaire, l’observation, l’entretien et l’enquête par questionnaire auprès de 433 acteurs dont 419 pêcheurs et 14 mareyeurs. Il en ressort que le département de Bouaflé bénéficie d’atouts naturels et humains favorables à la pêche. Aussi, malgré l’encadrement assez important dont jouit la pêche, les pêcheurs font usage d’outils et techniques illégaux dans l’exercice de leur fonction. Ce qui participe à la surexploitation, à la destruction de l’écosystème aquatique et à la chute de la production de produits halieutiques dans le département faisant l’objet de l’étude.

Published: July 2023

Objective: To study the association of portal vein thrombosis in umbilical vein catheterized neonates.
Study design: Prospective study. Subjects: Neonates in NICU with umbilical vein catheterization.
Methods: Doppler ultrasound was performed for all neonates within 24-48 hours of catheter insertion, followed by 48-72 hours after its removal and weekly until hospital discharge or clot resolution. Diagnosis of Portal vein thrombosis was made, its extent, location and size was noted.
Result: 30 newborns were screened for portal vein thrombosis. Among them, 17 (57.2%) babies had clinical sepsis, 14(46.7%) had blood transfusion and 7 (23.3%) had calcium infusion through the umbilical vein. Portal vein thrombosis was observed in 3 out of 30 babies (10%). 2 babies had the umbilical tip in inferior vena cava and one baby had in main portal vein. Color Doppler revealed, two babies had partial non-occlusive thrombus in the left portal vein and one baby had in the main portal vein. On follow up, the thrombus of all the babies had resolved by 1-2 weeks. All the 3(100%) neonates with thrombosis received calcium infusion through the umbilical vein and its association was found to be statistically significant with a P Value of 0.086.
Conclusions: Calcium transfusion through umbilical vein catheterization is associated with term portal vein thrombosis, though most of them are clinically silent and resolve spontaneously. Ultrasound can be used as effective tool in early detection of the thrombus and hence as a guide for catheter removal.

Pakistan's installed capacity is 34233 MW, however, itcan only generate 22000 MW against a peak load of 25000 MW, generating a 3000MW powershortfall. Not using the existing capacity, which is 8000MW larger than the peak load, is a sore issuefor technical, economical, and administrative reasons. Circular debt in the electricity sector stems fromsignificant reliance on imported petroleum and inefficient financial flow across tiers. The electricityshortage causes outages and hinders economic progress. The energy problem calls for concrete actionsto alleviate the shortfall. A way ahead is to transition the country's power industry from imported oilbasedthermalpowerplantstomorefeasibleindigenousresources,suchasrenewableenergyresources,

of which Pakistan is rich and has great exploitation potential. This article surveys the availability ofrenewable energy sources, including hydro, solar, wind, and biomass, and their present and prospectivepenetration in the total power generating mix, with recommendations. Pakistan can extract 30 GWfrom hydropower and 11 GW from wind by 2030. According to estimates, a vast untapped potential ofsolar power must be brought into service with biogas as a supplement to meet future power needs. Thecomparative analysis has been done by doing a case study on different renewable energy strategies andtechniques adopted by other countries.

LL‐FMC: Low‐latency frame memory compression scheme with high reconstructed quality
Authors: Shin Jin , Lee Jong Ho , Kim Hyun
Published: July 2023

Frame memory compression (FMC) saves power by reducing the data bandwidth for accessing reference frames of video coding standards in the external memory. However, since the continuously accumulated data loss degrades the performance of video coding standards, the quality of the reconstructed reference frame must be improved. Previous lossy frame memory compression methods focused on processing speed or simplicity, but their performance remains limited in terms of the quality of the reconstructed frame. In this study, a Huffman coding with a fixed codebook designed to considerably reduce the latency caused by arithmetic coding in lossless compression schemes is proposed. A novel lossy frame memory compression technique based on the Hadamard transform that does not require additional memory access using a lookup table is also proposed. The result of experiments on several reconstructed videos preprocessed with HEVC show that the proposed method improves BDPSNR by 10.7 dB and BDBR by 40.4% compared with the DWT+SPIHT‐based compression technique which is widely used for lossy frame memory compression.
Wideband multibeam mushroom antenna array with low‐temperature cofired ceramic‐integrated pillbox transition for millimetre‐wave applications
Authors: Yuan Bin , Yuan Yang , Zhang Huiru , Hao Chengxiang , Zhao Yan , Yu Zhongjun
Published: July 2023

This article presents a millimetre‐wave (MMW) wideband multibeam antenna array with a pillbox transition using multilayer low‐temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The mushroom structure with dual resonant modes offers wideband performance for radiating array, while an integrated pillbox reflector achieves multibeam scheme. To reduce the design complexity of electrically large pillbox system, two popular pillbox transitions are investigated with a unit model method. The proposed unit model can be used to predict the transmission performance of pillbox reflector in any incident angle. Moreover, the mushroom antenna array and power divider fed by quasi‐TEM wave are also designed using unit model, greatly simplifying the design of electrically large pillbox antenna array. In the final design, the long‐slot pillbox transition, rather than multi‐slot transition, is selected due to its ultrawideband performance and simple structure. The proposed LTCC prototype is analysed and fabricated, obtaining a good agreement between simulation and measurement. The measured results show a −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 17.6% from 31 to 37 GHz, and five beams with ±45° scanning range is achieved with sidelobe level lower than −10 dB.

Authors: Chen Xiaofeng , Liu Yongqi , Lv Kaiwen , Wang Meiling , Liu Xiaoqin , Li Bosheng
Published: July 2023

Motivation

Direct RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) has revolutionized transcript mapping by offering enhanced precision due to its long-read length. Unlike traditional techniques, dRNA-seq eliminates the need for PCR amplification, reducing the impact of GC bias, and preserving valuable base physical information, such as RNA modification and poly(A) length estimation. However, the rapid advancement of ONT devices has set higher standards for analytical software, resulting in potential challenges of software incompatibility and reduced efficiency.

Results

We present a novel workflow, called FASTdRNA, to manipulate dRNA-seq data efficiently. This workflow comprises two modules: a data preprocessing module and a data analysis module. The preprocessing data module, dRNAmain, encompasses basecalling, mapping, and transcript counting, which are essential for subsequent analyses. The data analysis module consists of a range of downstream analyses that facilitate the estimation of poly(A) length, prediction of RNA modifications, and assessment of alternative splicing events across different conditions with duplication. The FASTdRNA workflow is designed for the Snakemake framework and can be efficiently executed locally or in the cloud. Comparative experiments have demonstrated its superior performance compared to previous methods. This innovative workflow enhances the research capabilities of dRNA-seq data analysis pipelines by optimizing existing processes and expanding the scope of analysis.

Availability and implementation

Choosing the Best Camera System for Your Biological Light Microscopy Needs: Part I
Authors: Jerome W Gray (Jay)
Published: July 2023

Digital imaging has made scientific light microscope imaging much faster and facilitates a range of imaging techniques not previously available. Advances in microscope digital image detection systems over the last decade have played an integral part in establishing digital imaging as the medium of choice for most types of microscopy. Although we still refer to them as cameras, in actuality, current detector systems constitute specific hardware and software components specifically adapted for specific types of microscopy. Although these advances have facilitated data collection with microscopes, the plethora of choices comes with the need to understand which system best suits a specific researcher’s needs. In an effort to help navigate the multiple choices available, this article and a subsequent one will list what I feel are the major parameters to use in the evaluation of different detection systems, describe the major categories of cameras available, and discuss the advantages and pitfalls of each digital image solution.

Published: July 2023

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the extraction conditions for persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) leaf tea (PLT) on its color quality and antioxidant properties. The amount of persimmon leaf (PL) powder and pH influenced the PLT’s color and antioxidant capacity. As the amount of PL powder in tea increased, lightness decreased while yellowness increased. The PLT with the highest amount of PL (10 mg/mL) exhibited the highest 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). In addition, the PLT with the highest PL showed the highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Subsequently, PLT was prepared using 10 mg/mL PL powder under varying pH conditions. As pH increased from 4 to 7, lightness decreased while redness and yellowness increased. Antioxidant capacity was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and FRAP assay showed that lower pH exhibited higher antioxidant capacity. The PLT extracted under the lowest pH of 4 showed higher polyphenol and flavonoid contents than that extracted under higher pH conditions. Overall, PLT extraction using a solvent with pH 4.0 showed better antioxidant activities and higher amounts of polyphenolic compounds. Simultaneously, lesser lightness, redness, and yellowness were detected in PLT extracted under pH 4 conditions. In conclusion, to acquire a better functional health benefit in terms of antioxidant capacity, preparing PLT under pH 4 conditions is suggested.
Structural basis of the amidase ClbL central to the biosynthesis of the genotoxin colibactin

Published: July 2023

Colibactin is a genotoxic natural product produced by select commensal bacteria in the human gut microbiota. The compound is a bis-electrophile that is predicted to form interstrand DNA cross-links in target cells, leading to double-strand DNA breaks. The biosynthesis of colibactin is carried out by a mixed NRPS–PKS assembly line with several noncanonical features. An amidase, ClbL, plays a key role in the pathway, catalyzing the final step in the formation of the pseudodimeric scaffold. ClbL couples α-aminoketone and β-ketothioester intermediates attached to separate carrier domains on the NRPS–PKS assembly. Here, the 1.9 Å resolution structure of ClbL is reported, providing a structural basis for this key step in the colibactin biosynthetic pathway. The structure reveals an open hydrophobic active site surrounded by flexible loops, and comparison with homologous amidases supports its unusual function and predicts macromolecular interactions with pathway carrier-protein substrates. Modeling protein–protein interactions supports a predicted molecular basis for enzyme–carrier domain interactions. Overall, the work provides structural insight into this unique enzyme that is central to the biosynthesis of colibactin.
