Surface roughness (Ra) has a significant influence on the fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal of machine components. Ra is hence a crucial manufacturing process parameter. This study predicts Ra of aluminum alloy Al-7024 after milling. Regression analysis and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling approaches are suggested for predicting Ra values. For better surface roughness, the cutting parameter must be set properly. Spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut have been chosen as predictors. Through 31 study cases, regression and ANN were used to examine how these parameters affected Ra. The measurement of surface roughness, together with comprehensive Ra analysis and regression analysis. The findings of this investigation indicate that Ra was predicted by both the regression and ANN models. convergent results from model predictions are obtained. This convergence highlights the promising methodology used in this work to forecast Ra in the milling of Al-7024. The findings demonstrated that, in comparison to the regression model, which had an average variation from the actual values of roughly 1%, The surface roughness was accurately predicted by the ANN model.

Published: September 2023

The manuscript aimed at delineating the importance of introducing phonetics and phonology in the ESL syllabus of primary and secondary level studies in Bangladesh so that learners of all levels could reduce Bengali's impact on English pronunciation. In terms of English as Lingua Franca (ELF), every mother tongue plays interference with English as a Second Language (ESL) pronunciation in each geographical community. In this respect, pronouncing English like the natives is a big challenge for non-native speakers around the world. The scenarios seem all alike in Bangladesh, where a major part of its teachers and learners of the English language cannot pronounce English with IPA standard like the native English speakers. Their excessive mother tongue-centred attitudes appear as hindrances on the way to standard accents. Thus, the learners of Bangladesh have been lagging behind the international communications. The research work was conducted in mixed method type where quantitative was predominating to make the article reliable. Tow data collection tools: questionnaire survey and content analysis were used in this study. The author hoped to conclude by showing that the study of phonetics and phonology at the elementary and secondary levels of ESL may be a more effective strategy to lessen Bengali interference in ESL pronunciation and that Bangladeshi students might be able to speak IPA standard ESL pronunciation. Similarly, if any country used the terminology mentioned above at the same levels of education, they might be able to lessen the influence of their native tongue on their pronunciation of ESL and use the IPA standard.

This study aims to determine the description of the ability of mathematical connections in terms of students' self-concept. It is important to know the description of the level of mathematical connection ability possessed by students so that it can be used as a reference in planning the right learning process. Self-concept is used to determine the description mathematical connection abilities, where self-concept as an affective aspect plays an important role in the cognitive aspects of students. This research is descriptive qualitative research with 53 students of class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Kramatmulya as participants who were determined by purposive sampling. Participants were given a mathematical connection ability test and a self-concept questionnaire. Furthermore, interviews were conducted with several positive self-concept and negative self-concept participants who obtained the highest and lowest questionnaire scores from each self-concept. The data obtained was analyzed using analysis model Miles and Huberman which is divided into three stages, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results showed that students with positive self-concepts had all indicators of mathematical connection ability. Then students with negative self-concept are less able to use and master the indicators of mathematical connection ability. This is because most of the indicators of mathematical connection ability are still not mastered by students in solving the problems given

Published: September 2023

Problematic video game playing (PVGP) in adolescents is associated with an array of mental and behavioral problems. Identifying the function of video game playing that are associated with poorer outcomes may provide a better understand of the problem so that adolescents can be helped to foster a healthier relationship with their devices. The aim of the present study is to assess whether sociodemographic factors, drug use, bullying victimization and perpetration, and mental health symptoms are associated with playing video games with the intent to alleviate problems among Brazilian eighth grade students. A cross-sectional survey nested in a cluster randomized controlled trial was used. The participants included 3939 eighth grade students who answered a self-report questionnaire anonymously. Weighted logistic regressions were used to investigate the associated factors. The results showed that 57% (CI = 55.85; 58.15) of these adolescents reported playing with an escapism function. Playing to forget or alleviate real life problems is associated with being male, using tobacco, bullying victimization and perpetration, healthy levels of prosocial behavior, and emotional symptoms; the strongest association was with emotional symptoms (OR = 1.98; 95% CI 1.73; 2.28). Playing video games as a form of escapism has been shown to be a relevant aspect for investigation among this population, as it is related to mental health symptomatology in adolescence. An understanding of these data through an experiential avoidance, within an acceptance and commitment perspective is suggested, since it may help broadening the understanding of the problems related to video game playing, its comorbidities and may have direct treatment implications.
Extended voluntary waiting period before first insemination in primiparous dairy cows : effects on milk production, fertility, and health
Authors: Edvardsson Rasmussen Anna
Published: September 2023

Extension of the voluntary waiting period (VWP) before first insemination after calving, could decrease the frequency of demanding transition periods both at cow and herd level. In the initial study of this thesis, the cows were randomized to an extended (155-205 d) or conventional (35-85 d) VWP and assessed during their first and second lactation. In a later study on customized extended VWP, cows expected to be suited for extended VWP were selected based on high genomic persistency index, calving difficulties or disease in early lactation, and high early lactation yield, and then randomly allocated to extended (≥185) or conventional (≤90) VWP. For cows with randomized extended compared with conventional VWP, milk yield per day in the calving interval was maintained during the first lactation and higher during the second lactation, milk yield before dry-off was lower and reproductive performance was improved. Cows with customized extended VWP showed similar improvements compared with cows expected to be suited for an extended but receiving conventional VWP, but in contrast to the randomized study, the dry period was not longer for cows randomized to customized extended VWP. Extending the VWP had no effect on disease incidence and culling rate. Extended VWP for primiparous cows in high-yielding herds can thus make use of modern dairy cows’ great potential for milk production and fertility, thereby potentially increasing flexibility and resilience in dairy herds.

Published: September 2023

Rhizobia are important bacteria, playing a vital role in atmospheric nitrogen fixation. In addition, it increases soil fertility, enhancing crop production and preserving the soil from pollution resulting from inorganic fertilizers’ use. From 81 bacteria samples, nine isolates segregated from nine types of leguminous crops are economically valuable for cultivation within nine different locations in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. The isolates underwent initial diagnosis by phenotypical and cultural characteristics and host specialization tests. Molecular characterization also ran on the selected bacterial isolates. Performing the 16S rRNA region amplification applied forward primer 27F and a reverse primer 1541R using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The results of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP-PCR) employing three endonuclease enzymes showed that EcoRI had similar sequences among the isolates under study but significantly different for MspI and HaeIII. Based on the analysis of results using the statistical program MVSP version 3.22, the degree of similarity divided the isolates into three groups. Results revealed that there were genetic differences between the isolates and the suppressing enzymes, providing more accurate results in recognizing the similarity among the bacterial isolates as a result of the difference in the location and environmental conditions from which the bacteria were isolated, in addition to the different agricultural processes used for those regions.

Authors: CHOZIN M.
Published: September 2023

Multi-environment experiment undertakings in 2020 recognized the stability and adaptability of promising swamp rice genotypes on five types of swampland agroecosystems. Grain yield data recording occurred on 10 swamp rice favorable lines and two check cultivars, transplanted on swamps consisting of alluvial mud, lowland peaty, lowland peat, middle estuarine tidal, and lower estuarine tidal swamp, then subjected to a combined analysis of variance. The AMMI model employed illuminated the effects of environments on a genotype’s grain yield stability across the surroundings. Among the tested conditions, alluvial mud and lowland peat swamps showed as the most predictable environments for rice grain yield evaluation, with the former also representing a rich surrounding, whereas the latter a poor one, despite their provided weak genotype discrimination. Lowland peaty swamp was also a productive environment and conferred strong genotypic discrimination. Both middle and lower estuarine tidal swamps were less fruitful and had rationally durable genotype discrimination. Rice lines UBPR 1, UBPR 8, UPBR 2, and UBPR 4 indicated more desirable than the check cultivars (Inpara 6 and Inpara 4) for grain yield and stability across the test environments. The lines UBPR 3 and UBPR 10 enunciated desirable adaptive performance at the lowland peaty swamp.
ALKALOID ACCUMULATION IN CATHARANTHUS ROSEUS L. IN VITRO CULTURE ENHANCED VIA Ag AND TiO2 NANOPARTICLES
Authors: ABED A.S.
Published: September 2023

Catharanthus roseus L. plant is highly beneficial as chemotherapy drugs due to its rich alkaloids. Nanoparticles (NPs) have served as an abiotic elicitor; therefore, these chemical inputs stimulate various secondary metabolites. The present-day study sought to develop a callus culture and its utilization by applying the NPs to enhance the alkaloids in C. roseus. For callus induction, in vivo, leaves’ inoculation on MS medium had different concentrations of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4- D), Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and Benzylaminopurine (BAP). After this stage, the induced callus culture gained stimulating by different rates (0, 1, and 2 mg L-1 ) of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs). The highest fresh and dry weights of calluses resulted in a combination of 0.5 mg L-1 BAP and 0.5 mg L-1 2,4-D, regarded as the best treatments for callus induction. The study showed no significant effect of NPs on callus growth compared with control. HPLC analysis revealed that field-grown plant leaves had the lowest alkaloid levels compared with elicitorfree callus cultures. However, all NP treatments significantly increased alkaloid contents versus the control. Ag-NPs were more effective than TiO2-NPs in enhancing alkaloid biosynthesis. The highest range of vincristine and catharanthine (0.736 and 1.378 mg g-1 , respectively) emerged with 1 mg L-1 Ag-NPs, while 2 mg L-1 Ag-NPs increased vindoline and vinblastine contents (1.30 and 0.949 mg g-1 , respectively). The control exhibited lower alkaloid contents of vindoline, vincristine, catharanthine, and vinblastine (0.891, 0.492, 0.974, and 0.307 mg g-1 , respectively).
PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE AS CHEMOTAXONOMIC MARKERS IN THE CUCURBITACEAE SPECIES CULTIVATED IN IRAQ
Authors: HASSN N.T.
Published: September 2023

The concentration of phenolic compounds is researchable using chemotaxonomy as a valuable approach to studying the pharmacological potential of different crop plants. In line with this, the objective of the constructive study was to investigate the phenolic compounds concentration in 10 taxa belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae, earlier cultivated in mid-February 2021 at the College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq. The taxa included Cucurbita pepo Linnaeus, Cucurbita maxima Duchesne, Lagenaria siceraria L.C.V. Local Molina, Lagenaria siceraria L.C.V. Syria Molina, Cucumis sativus Linnaeus, Cucumis melo Linnaeus, Cucumis melo flexuosus Linnaeus, Citrullus lanatus (Thumberg) Matsum and Nakai, Citrullus colocynthis Schrader, and Luffa cylindrica Mill. Analyzing these compounds helped to gain a deeper understanding of the chemical composition of these plants, which may contribute to identifying their medicinal properties and potential applications in the field of pharmacology. The analysis of leaves of these taxa ran through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for 14 phenolic compounds, i.e., Apigenin, Catechin, Epicatechin, Kaempferol, Luteolin, Quercetin, Rutin, and Caffeic, Chlorogenic, Ferulic, Gallic, Hydroxy benzoic, P-coumaric, and Vanillic acids. A comprehensive study analyzed 10 taxa belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae using HPLC, revealing their heterogeneity and significant variations in the content and concentration of various phenolic compounds. The results of this analysis unveiled the identification of 14 compounds, primarily relying on the presence of standard material. Notably, the main component observed in this study was caffeic acid, showcasing its potential utility for taxonomists and pharmacologists and addressing diverse taxonomic challenges. These findings hold promising implications for the field, offering valuable insights into the intricate world of Cucurbitaceae and opening avenues for further research and application. Results further confirmed that the leaves of Cucurbitaceae plants are rich sources of nutrients and can significantly contribute to nutrient requirements and human health care.

Authors: HASSAN AHMED YASSIN
Published: September 2023

A field experiment ensued during the winter crop season 2018–2019 at the District Baqubah, Diyala Governorate, Iraq, to study the effects of three plant spacing (20, 40, and 60 cm) and foliar application of humic acid with four concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 40 L ha-1 ) on seed yield-related traits and active ingredients of goat pea (Securigera securidaca L.). The recorded data underwent statistical analysis using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement. The results showed that the plant spacing of 60 cm was superior in the percentage of oil and the total content of glycosides in the seeds, amounting to 3.84% and 27.86 mg g-1 , respectively, and the plant distance of 40 cm was superior in the seeds’ total phenol content (1.23 mg g-1 ). As for 20 cm, it was excellent in the oil yield (15.56 kg ha-1 ). The spraying with humic acid at the rate of 20 L ha-1 provided the highest percentage and harvest of oil and total phenol content, reaching 3.69%, 9.30 kg ha-1 , and 1.21 mg g-1 , respectively. The interaction between the plant distance (60 cm) and foliar application of humic acid (10 L ha-1 ) showed a significant increase in the percentage of oil, amounting to 3.92%. The interaction between the plant distance (40 cm) and foliar application of humic acid (20 L ha-1 ) provided a substantial increase in the total phenol content of seeds (1.25 mg g-1 ).
Die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen Markmale der Deuteschen Einheit
Authors: Szabó István
Published: September 2023

Die Studie untersucht die allgemeinrechtliche Seite der Deutschen Einheit von 1871. Laut ihrer Feststellung kann man über eine deutsche Einheit sprechen, falls die Organisation der deutschen Staaten vom Staatenbund zum Bundestaat wird und der Wirkungskreis der neuen Verfassung sich auf alle Gebiete ausdehnt, wo deutsche Bürger wohnen. Die monarchische Staatseinrichtung bedeutete jedoch sowohl bei den staatsorganisatorischen als auch bei den territorialen Bedingungen Hindernisse. Der Schutz der Souveränität der Herrscher der Gliedstaaten war beim Ausbau der Reichexekutive eine Hindernis, die deutschen Gebiete des Habsburgerreiches waren ohne die Aufteilung des Reichsgebiets in das neue Deutschland nicht integrierbar. Die Deutsche Einheit entstand entlang dieser Kompromisse, so war sie aus dogmatischer Hinsicht nicht perfekt. Sie war jedoch eine deutliche Verschiebung im Vergleich zu dem früheren Deutschen Bund in die Richtung eines Bundesstaates. Außerdem erschienen auch unikale Elemente, die zur Einheit verholfen haben, von denen die eigenartigen Sonderrechte von Preußen besonders interessant waren.
Assessing Effects of Government Funding on University Policy- An Institutional Theory Perspective
Authors: Morris Richard J. , Muchira John Munyui , Dobrowolski Cathryn E.
Published: September 2023

Over the past 80 years’ university administrators have exhibited flexibility in their responses to evolving government funding patterns. One possible factor in these changes is the consequences of policy decisions at the federal and state government levels that have resulted in institution wide policy decisions in colleges and universities. These policy decisions have affected department policies and faculty member behaviors. Utilizing institutional Theory allows a discussion of the effect that government policy decisions have on responses within the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In this manner, Institutional Theory can be used to discuss how university administrative decisions have affected instruction in the United States—a case that can illuminate on policy and governance in HEIs across the globe and the implications these issues have on infusing critical thinking in higher education pedagogy. In the case of the US presented in this study, government funding patterns of the past 60 years have resulted in university policy decisions that have adversely affected the classroom experiences of students and created environments that do not elicit the same level of thinking from students. Being aware of the cascading effects of these patterns can help key stakeholders in universities to adjust policies to improve instruction and student thinking patterns.

Ahora bien, el resultado de una comparación no es el número de veces que está contenida la unidad en la cantidad total de unidades que queremos determinar sino que el resultado lo podemos expresar por medio de los signos matemáticos menor, mayor o igual que con respecto a algo, por ejemplo a un patrón.

Con este artículo se trata de romper el esquema tradicional, según el cual, se pretende que el elemento básico de las mediciones es la comparación y no el conteo, no obstante, el principio fundamental de la construcción de los instrumentos de medición son los contadores, claro está que los comparadores sí se utilizan, pero solo para detener la cuenta. Este artículo presenta la forma como se desarrolla la asignatura de Mediciones Eléctricas en el grado oc- tavo de la especialidad de mecatrónica.
Tras los orígenes de la crisis ambiental actual
Authors: Mejía Barragán Fabiola
Published: September 2023

Este artículo está enfocado al análisis de la cultura y la importancia que esta tiene en la visión y la manera de relacionarse del hombre con la naturaleza. Siendo el impacto ambiental de magnitud global, las alternativas a este fenómeno deben buscarse no solo en la tecnología sino en las diferentes perspectivas culturales que han permitido de una u otra forma generar estos cambios. A partir del análisis de dos culturas, la occidental y la cultura amazónica Makuna, se trataron de identificar las diferentes percepciones y formas de relación de estas con la naturaleza, con el fin de buscar en ellas nuevas opciones y, por qué no, nuevos paradigmas que permitan aportar una real solución al problema ambiental que hoy enfrenta la humanidad en todo el planeta tierra.
Nanociencia, nanotecnología, nanomateriales... La Revolución Industrial del Siglo XXI

El siguiente trabajo pretende enunciar algunas definiciones “nano” de actualidad como: nanociencia, nanotecnologia, nanopartículas, nanomáquinas, nanodispositivos, nanotubos, nanoestructuras, nano… para adentrarse en el grandioso mundo de los nanomateriales, su clasificación, características, propiedades y aplicaciones, por considerarse un tema de gran relevancia que debe ser conocido por los estudiantes de carreras técnicas, tecnológicas y de ingeniería. Es una iniciativa debido a la preocupación como docentes de la asignatura de Materiales de Ingeniería donde se habla de la composición electrónica, estructuras cristalinas, solidificación, etc., de los materiales conocidos como los metales, polímeros, cerámicos, compuestos y otros. Pero el tema de los nanomateriales no se tiene en cuenta por falta de actualización, referencias bibliográficas escritas o apreciación personal de cada docente.

Published: September 2023

Preseptal cellulitis is the skin and soft-tissue infection of periorbital region especially common in the pediatric population. There are many risk factors, however in our case report, the patient had impetigo presenting as preseptal cellulitis. We report a case of a 7 year old presented with left upper eyelid swelling which was associated with crusted skin lesions. Patient was treated conservatively with a team of Ophthalmologist and Dermatologist. The patient recovered within 2 weeks. There is lack of documentation that preseptal cellulitis can be because of highly infectious skin diseases, therefore it is important to keep in mind the uncommon causes of preseptal cellulitis. A multidisciplinary care approach is necessary to treat the underlying etiological cause in the management for favorable outcomes.

Anthracosis is a type of mild pneumoconiosis secondary to harmless carbon dust deposits. Although anthracosis was previously associated with inhaled coal particles, such as coal workers' pneumoconiosis, this hypothesis was later abandoned; pathology has been associated with inhaled dust particles. Our paper is the first case report of ANCA-associated vasculitis and anthracosis coexistence. In addition, it aims to highlight that histopathologically proven anthracotic granulomatous nodules can show high FDG uptake in PET/CT contrary to expectation. We present a case of a 73-year-old male with p-ANCA-associated vasculitis and anthracotic lung nodules accompanied by radiological and clinical findings.  The patient got diagnosis with p-ANCA-associated vasculitis with serological and rheumatological tests. Atypically, the clinical findings of the patient were weak (No dyspnoea, cough or additional pulmonary complaints). Nodules were present on X-ray graphics and nodules’ contours were irregular on CT. On PET/CT, SUV values of the nodules were high [12 kBq/mL]. Histopathological specimens showed multiple lung granulomas including anthracosis particles.  Until performing the biopsy, we could not exclude the possibility of malignancy. Conclusion: When lung involvement of vasculitis is superimposed by anthracosis, it can create granulomas with high SUV values. The relationship between anthracosis and parenchymal lung diseases is a current topic and many recently published papers are present on this subject. To the best of our knowledge, our paper is the first paper showing the relationship between parenchymal involvement of vasculitis and anthracosis in the literature. Environmental pollution and dust particles are the known reasons for anthracosis particles in the nodules. It is open to future research on whether air pollution triggers new atypical cases or not.
