Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery - a prospective study of short-term outcomes of consecutive cases over 3 years
Authors: Patel Nitin , Yagnik Vipul D.
Published: August 2021

This study was carried out with the objectives to study the feasibility of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, to observe short term outcome such as recovery parameters, oncologic safety, morbidity and mortality, and to analyze the experience of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in a teaching hospital. Between January 2007 and July 2009, all consecutive adult cases admitted to our department for colorectal cancer were assessed for eligibility. The ethical committee approved the protocol at the Sterling Hospital. Out of 31 patients,17 were males and 14 females. The mean age was 59 years. The most common clinical presentation was weight loss and altered bowel habits. Rectum (51.61%) was the most commonly involved organ followed by cecum (22.58%). - median time to liquid diet was two days (range 1-22), and a solid diet was three days (range 3-30). The median time to first flatus was two days (range 1-5), and the first stool was five days (range 3-7). The postoperative stay was eight days (range 6-30) median time to mobilization was 2.5 days. The postoperative stay is cumulative and includes patients who underwent reoperation for the anastomotic leak. The median operating time was 240 mins (range 116 – 520). The median length of incision was 6 cm (range 4 – 10 cm). The median blood loss was 170 ml. Blood loss was higher in patients with hemorrhage and tumor adhesions, and both of them were converted to open. These patients incidentally had a more extended hospital stay. The laparoscopic technique for colorectal cancer is feasible and safe. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) is associated with short term benefits like the earlier return of gastrointestinal function and shorter length of hospital stay. From the oncologic point of view, tumor resections are adequate, taking into context numbers of lymph nodes retrieved and resectional margins in context to oncologic safety. The decreased postoperative wound infections and early recovery facilitate appropriate adjuvant therapy. Advanced laparoscopic surgery requires a team approach with proper case selection. Transvaginal delivery of specimens can give scar-less surgery and the option for assisted natural orifice surgery.

Authors: Akpan I.I.
Published: August 2021

Assessment of water chemistry in a segment of Qua Iboe River Estuary, Niger Delta Region of Nigeria was carried out from January to December 2018 at three sampling stations. Seventeen physico-chemical parameters were analyzed using standards procedure. A total of 12 samples were collected from each station. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed in the assessment of the study area. Three principal components, accounting for 99.59%, 100.01% and 100% of the total variance of information contained in the original data set for dry season were obtained. In the wet season, the components accounted for 66.0%, 69.97% and 67.50% of the total variance respectively. Results revealed that the most loading factor in the PCA when considering all the sampling stations in different seasons together in PC1, PC2 and PC3 axes were mainly sulphate, phosphate-phosphorus, calcium, potassium, temperature, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, sodium, electrical conductivity, biological oxygen demand, pH, total suspended solids, A and magnesium. These loadings could be grouped into mineral/nutrient, physico-chemical, organic and domestic factors. General assessment of the study area did not indicate much deviation from prescribed standards, but sufficient to maintain a varied aquatic biodiversity.

Published: August 2021

The study evaluated sub-lethal toxicity of commercial glyphosate-based Di-ammonium formulation commonly known as ‘Touchdown’ on haematological profile of Clarias gariepinus juveniles. A total of two hundred catfish juveniles of mean weight 31.07±1.23g and mean length 19.50 ± 0.50cm were exposed to different  concentrations of Di-ammonium formulation (1.26, 2.52, 5.03 and 0.00 mg/l) for eight (8) weeks. Each concentration was treated in triplicate using a static bioassay system. Physico-chemical parameters of the test water were monitored throughout the study period. Results showed that haematocrit (HCT), red blood cell (RBC), haemoglobin (HGB), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) and Platelets (PLT) counts decreased significantly (p<0.05) with increase in concentrations of Touchdown. Whereas, white blood cell (WBC) counts increased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing concentrations of the glyphosate-based formulation. Water temperature, pH, Total dissolved solid (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) increased linearly with increasing concentration, while dissolved oxygen content decreased significantly (p<0.05). The results from this study indicated that Di-ammonium glyphosate–based formulation had negative consequences on the blood of treated fish. In view of this, the application of Di-ammonium glyphosate-based formulation should be done in a sustainable manner with proper regulations.
Substitution of fishmeal with solid-state fermented pigeon pea and effects on growth and gut microbiomes of Nile Tilapia
Authors: Enyidi U.D. , Oyazi C.
Published: August 2021

Solid state fermented pigeon pea meal (FPP) was used in substituting fish meal (FM) in diets of Oreochromis niloticus. Five diets varying in inclusion levels of FM: FPP as followed: Feed 1, 250:50; Feed 2, 200:100; Feed 3, 150:150; Feed 4, 100:200 and Feed 5, 50:250 were made. A commercial feed (Feed 6), was used as a control. Triplicate groups of tilapia fingerling were stocked in plastic aquaria at six fish per unit and fed ad libitum for 60days. Results showed that specific growth rate (SGR) of tilapia fed Feed 5 (2.60±0.12% day-1) was better (p<0.05) than those recorded in Feed 1 (2.36±.07 % day-1). Similarly, food conversion ratio (FCR) (1.13±0.01) and mean weight gain (60.00±0.04g) were higher (p<0.05) in Feed 5 when compared with those in Feed 1 where FCR was 1.19±0.02 and MWG (50.96±0.04g). The results of Aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) decreased with increasing inclusion level of FPP. Gut microbial load increased with increasing level of FPP. The fish group fed Feed 5 had the highest foregut (2.60 x 10-5 CFU/ml), midgut (3.98 x 10-5 CFU/ml) and hindgut (4.52 x 10-5 CFU/ml) micrbiota. In general, gut microbiomes were dominated by cellulose and carbohydrate utilizing bacteria: Citrobacter fruendi, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Inference from the study revealed that O. niloticus was able to utilize the diets due to the presence of probiotics in them.

Authors: Effiong M.U. , Michael M.E.
Published: August 2021

The study assessed different processing methods (freezing, smoking, oven drying and boiling) on fillet nutritional quality and stability of silver catfish. All analyses followed standard procedure. Results of proximate composition showed significant increase (p< 0.05) in protein (51.98%), lipid (11.65%), ash (3.82%) and calorie (432.57 Kcal/g) contents in the dried fillets. Thus, these variable increased with increasing processing temperature. On the other hand, moisture and carbohydrate contents decreased with temperature. The stability indices  showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in free fatty acid of frozen (0.21%), boiled (0.8%), smoked (2.96%) and dried (9.87%). The lowest calcium (39.7%) was recorded in the frozen sample while the highest level (53.12%) in oven dried. Thiobarbituric acid decreased with increase in processing temperature with the highest level (27.14 mg MDA/100g) observed in the frozen fillet while the least value (2.08 mg MDA/100g) was obtained in the boiled samples. Calcium and phosphorus contents did not show any particular trend. The smoked fish fillet had the highest fibre content of 2.6%. Total volatile base nitrogen was generally low in all treatments. Inference from this study revealed that differently processed Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus was a rich source of fatty acids and essential minerals being very vital to the diet of humans.

Authors: Otoyo J. , Ameh S.M. , Achema O.K.
Published: August 2021

Studies on identification of species, fecundity and development stages of blue crab, (Callinectes amnicola) were investigated at the Cross River Estuary between the months of December, 2018 and May, 2019. The parameters used for the study were gonadosomatic and hepatosomatic indices, egg diameter and counts. All measurements followed standard procedures. Gonadosomatic index was at its peak in December (88.9) and April (83.3). This coincided with the peak in egg size suggesting that spawning occurred twice within the period.The low values of hepatosomatic index around December (1.20) and April (0.45) added to confirm the spawning in these months. The species spawns at a mean egg size of 17.55mm. The dimension of crabs examined were in the following range: carapace length 40.0 to 70.0mm, carapace width, 5.0 to 60mm and body weight 40.0 to 140.0g. The relationship between fecundity and weight of crab was  significant (r = 0.295: p<0.05), indicating positive correlation. Absolute fecundity of the species ranged between 1,375 and 225,132 eggs. The smallest crab with egg had a carapace width of 39.5mm and weight of 46.9g. Spawning at this size seems to be a strategy adopted by the species to cope with exploitation pressure. The result of this study revealed that C. amnicola had a high reproductive potentials. Hence, adequate regulation is required to enhance sustainability of the species in the Cross River Estuary.

Published: August 2021

In many parts of Africa especially in Nigeria, ready-to-eat rice is commonly sold in several locations within the big cities and villages. In this study, one hundred samples of ready-to-eat rice were analyzed in some selected areas in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The effects of wrapping materials on the microbial quality of the rice samples were determined from seven different locations. The total bacterial counts ranged from 5.66 to 7.30 log10 cfu/g ,total coliform counts ranged from 5.07 to 7.33 log10 cfu/g and total fungal counts ranged from 5.19 to 6.03 log10 cfu/g. The b acterial species isolated from these samples were Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus while the fungal species isolated include Aspergillus fumigatus, Mucor spp., and Penicillium sp. Factors such as improper storage as well as handling of the wrapping-materials of the food coupled with the attitude and practices of the vendors are likely to be responsible for the growth of these microorganisms. It was also discovered that improper cooking may contribute to microbial growth. Provision and enforcement of strict hygienic practices would go a long way in improving the quality of the ready-to-eat foods.

The Theology of a Jealous God: A Study of Exodus 20:3-5 and a Jealous God
Authors: Marpay Brian , Giawa Nasokhili
Published: August 2021

Jealousy is one of the characteristics of God, which is essential in His divinity. It's just that some take it casually and even tend to see that jealousy like this is not too severe. This is why this article was written to ascertain the extent to which God's jealousy is essential to be studied by God's people and its application from the perspective of the responsibility of faith in Him. It should be understood that the Bible shows this nature of God, that He is a jealous God. However, this jealousy of God is certainly not as heavy as humans' jealousy in general. God was jealous of the acts of disloyalty made by humans against Him, namely deliberately rebelling against and worshiping other gods. God has the right to be jealous because of the disobedience of His chosen people, who have violated the content of His eternal covenant. Therefore, this article is written using a biblical-theological approach, namely trying to understand the purpose of God's jealousy as contained in Exodus 20: 3-5 by paying attention to the text and context and then analyzing it to find its value, relevance, and application in daily life. In the end, this article shows that the background behind God's jealousy is, firstly, there is a broken promise, second is the existence of a double attitude (because of a special relationship before), and the third is that there is an attitude of relationship dissatisfaction that causes jealousy, namely adultery with other gods. ABSTRAKSikap cemburu merupakan salah satu sifat khas Allah yang esensial dalam keilahian-Nya. Hanya saja, ada yang menanggapinya secara biasa saja bahkan cenderung melihat bahwa sifat cemburu seperti ini tidak terlalu serius. Inilah yang menyebabkan artikel ini ditulis untuk memastikan sejauh mana kecemburuan Tuhan penting dipelajari oleh umat Tuhan dan aplikasinya dari perspektif tanggung jawab iman kepada-Nya. Perlu dipahami bahwa Alkitab menunjukkan sifat Allah ini, bahwa Ia adalah Allah yang cemburu. Namun, kecemburuan Allah ini tentu tidak sama bobotnya dengan kecemburuan yang biasa dilakukan manusia pada umumnya. Sejujurnya Tuhan Allah sangat cemburu dengan tindakan ketidaksetiaan yang dibuat oleh manusia terhadap-Nya yaitu dengan sengaja memberontak dan menyembah allah lain. Allah berhak cemburu karena ketidak-taatan umat pilihan-Nya yang telah melanggar konten kovenan-Nya yang kekal. Karena itu, artikel ini ditulis menggunakan pendekatan teologi biblika yaitu berupaya memahami maksud kecemburuan Allah sebagaimana dimuat di dalam Kel. 20:3-5 dengan memperhatikan teks dan konteks lalu menganalisis untuk menemukan nilai, relevansi, dan aplikasinya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pada akhirnya artikel ini memperlihatkan bahwa yang menjadi latar belakang di balik kecemburuan Allah ialah, pertama adanya janji yang diingkari, kedua ialah adanya sebuah sikap menduakan (karena adanya hubungan spesial sebelumnya), dan yang ketiga ialah adanya sikap ketidakpuasan relasi yang menimbulkan kecemburuan yaitu perzinahan dengan allah-allah lain.
Human Suffering and Theological Construction of Suffering
Authors: Zaluchu Sonny Eli
Published: August 2021

Suffering, as a natural part of life, will be burdensome and burdensome when we respond in the wrong way. Therefore, it is necessary to have a theological construction so that humans can survive and pass through their sufferings victoriously. This paper aims to build a theological response to human suffering by proposing the presence of a theology of suffering. It can be concluded that through the theology of suffering, suffering humans can accept suffering as God's sovereignty. This theology also builds on the understanding that the way of suffering can identify God. The suffering experienced by humans does not come immediately because it has a unique purpose for everyone. It is also found that in the theology of suffering, God suffered through the death of His Son on the Cross for the benefit of humanity. This paper is written entirely with an analytic approach by relying on various theories and interpretations of Bible verses through in-depth literature studies ABSTRAK: Penderitaan sebagai bagian alami kehidupan, akan menjadi sesesuatu yang membebani dan menjerumuskan ketika ditanggapi dengan cara yang salah. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan kehadiran sebuah konstuksi teologis agar manusia dapat bertahan dan melewati penderitaanya dengan kemenangan. Paper ini bertujuan untuk membangun tanggap teologis terhadap penderitaan manusia dengan mengusulkan kehadiran teologi penderitaan. Disimpulkan bahwa melalui teologi penderitaan, manusia yang menderita dapat menerima penderitaan sebagai sebuah kedaulatan Tuhan. Teologi ini juga membangun pengertian bahwa Allah dapat dikenali melalui jalan penderitaan. Penderitaan yang dialami manusia tidak hadir serta merta karena memiliki tujuan khas bagi setiap orang. Juga ditemukan bahwa di dalam sebuah teologi penderitaan, Allah ikut menderita melalui kematian anak-Nya di atas Salib untuk kepentingan manusia. Paper ini sepenuhnya ditulis dengan pendekatan analitik dengan mengandalkan berbagai teori dan tafsiran ayat-ayat Alkitab melalui pendalaman kajian pustaka.
God's Consistency Which Is Promised Through a New-Normal-Era Health Protocol in Order to Preserve The Essence Of Humanity
Authors: Napitupulu Lister
Published: August 2021

Health anthropology has experienced a tremendous new revolution, started from last year, 2020. A New-normal Health Protocol formulation was put in place to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. Natural and social media communities complained about humanity and human rights degradation, raising calls for resistance due to imposed global restrictive regulations. God in Christian theology is a God who promises to His human creation that He will be with and help humans to have a happy and prosperous life. By doing literature research, this paper tries to explore whether the Covid-19 management guidelines are by the consistency of covenant God in restoring the essence of humanity. How is the relation between two paradigms of society, from God’s side and human’s side, through the Health Protocol intervention? The finding is that God, who created perfect human beings, keeps all the processes of his life to become the people of His eternal kingdom. Society and individuals should be able to respond to global regulations as support for faith and perspective to continue to live and fill the days ahead with the maximum quality of life as prime human beings.  ABSTRAK: Antropologi kesehatan mengalami suatu revolusi baru yang dahsyat, dimulai dari tahun lalu, 2020. Sebuah rumusan Protokol Kesehatan New-normal diberlakukan untuk menangani wabah pandemi Covid-19. Masyarakat nyata dan media sosial mengeluhkan perasaan degradasi kemanusiaan dan hak asasi manusia bahkan mencuatkan seruan perlawanan karena peraturan pembatasan global yang dipaksakan. Allah dalam teologi Kristen adalah Allah yang berjanji kepada manusia ciptaan-Nya bahwa Ia akan menyertai dan menolong manusia untuk mendapatkan kehidupan yang sejahtera dan berbahagia. Dengan melakukan sebuah literature-research tulisan ini mencoba menelusuri apakah pedoman tatalaksana Covid-19 ini sesuai dengan konsistensi Allah yang berjanji dalam hal memulihkan esensi kemanusiaan. Bagaimanakah hubungan antara dua paradigma tentang kemanusiaan dari sisi Allah dan manusia melalui intervensi Protokol Kesehatan. Temuan bahwa Allah yang menciptakan manusia yang sempurna menjaga sepanjang proses kehidupannya agar menjadi umat kerajaan kekal-Nya. Seyogyanya masyarakat dan individu dapat menyikapi peraturan global sebagai penopang iman dan cara pandang sehingga tetap dapat menjalani dan mengisi hari-hari ke depan dengan kualitas hidup maksimal sebagai manusia prima.
Decadencia y oportunidad: Abraham Heschel y la crisis del mundo contemporáneo
Authors: Sevilla Godínez Héctor
Published: August 2021

El artículo ofrece diversos planteamientos elaborados por Heschel, un filósofo rabino del S. XX, asesor de Luther King, quien aludió las características de la decadencia del mundo contemporáneo. A su vez, partiendo de la desesperanza que brota de semejante encrucijada, se ofrecen distintos planteamientos para considerar el valor de la crisis y se muestran los lineamientos filosóficos y místicos que ofrece Heschel para construir una renovada visión de la realidad. De tal modo, la elaboración de significados para la existencia personal surge de la criticidad y de la aceptación del desasosiego que deriva de existir en un mundo caótico.
Formas y amenazas de la otredad. Representaciones deshumanizadas del extraño en la poesía española actual
Authors: Ema Llorente María
Published: August 2021

El presente artículo se centra en el estudio de las representaciones de sí mismo como otro que aparecen en la poesía española actual. Esta otredad se manifiesta en los textos mediante entidades despersonalizadas o deshumanizadas, cuya presencia es percibida como un peligro que atenta contra la integridad del sujeto y amenaza con su aniquilación. Se propone el estudio de la otredad en relación con las figuras del extraño, el extranjero o el intruso. Para ello se utilizarán conceptos expresados desde la sociología, la filosofía y la antropología por autores como Žižek (2006), Girard (1983), Bauman (2005) y Graham (2002). Partiendo del concepto de tensión inherente o brecha esencial, los poemas dan cuenta de la batalla interior del individuo por solucionar esta crisis, en textos que oscilan entre su constatación, su desarrollo o su superación.

Colonoscopy is used to evaluate the rectum, colon and, in selected cases, the smal intestine. The procedure is performed with flexible endoscope with a micro digital camera at the end. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate and a low residue diet as a protocol of evacuation and cleaning of the colon in preparation for colonoscopy. In literature review we have found that warm enemas is the most frequently recommended technique to prepare the large bowel for proctosigmoidoscopy procedures. In our experience, warn water enemas are frequently opposed by clients, prompting us to search for an alternative method. In the ten adult dogs tested, the use of sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate and low resideu diet was easy to administer and adequately prepared the intestine for the procedure.

Subband Adaptive Filter in Signal Processing Application
Authors: Raheem Syed , Bose Dr. Subhashish
Published: August 2021

Owing to the powerful digital signal processors and the improvement of advanced edge adaptive algorithms there are an extraordinary number of various applications in which adaptive filters are utilized. Subband adaptive filtering algorithms can build the assembly pace of framework ID undertakings when the info signal is hued. The adaptive filter can filter the dubious noise signal, track the difference in the signal, and consistently change the boundaries to accomplish the ideal filtering impact. Another standardized subband adaptive filtering algorithm has been proposed, whose primary benefit is the lower computational intricacy when contrasted with best in class subband approaches, while keeping up comparable union execution. A connection between the adaptive subband coefficients and the ideal full band move work is determined, and the algorithm is demonstrated to create an asymptotically unprejudiced arrangement. The proficiency of the adaptive filters basically relies upon the plan procedure utilized and the algorithm of variation. The adaptive filters can be analogical plans, digital or blended which show their benefits and inconveniences, for instance, the analogical filters are low power consuming and fast response, however they address balance issues, which influence the activity of the variation algorithm.
