The Proliferation of Yorùbá Religion in the Atlantic during the Nineteenth Century: The Portability of the Orisha
Authors: Thompson Sheneese
Published: January 2023

This paper seeks to analyze how Yorùbá religion and culture proliferated so widely throughout the Americas, though Yorùbá peoples comprised so little of the total percent of slaves imported to Trinidad, Brazil, and Cuba. Orisha worship managed to eclipse the religious practices of a more populous and well-established group like the West Central Africans. This essay argues that the highly organized and urbanized socio-religious structure of the Yorùbá Orisha lent itself to transportability. Thus, the Yorùbá system was reconstructed in the New World than some of its more localized counterparts in the Bight of Benin and Biafra regions, specifically the Kangas of modern Liberia, whose religious practices are more localized. The essay provides an overview of the Yorùbá socio-religious structure as it was practiced in Yorùbáland in the mid to late 19th Century, as well as the parallel structures in Trinidad, Brazil, and especially Cuba. The best documented region to establish how the socio-religious structures are replicated after Yorùbá people were dispersed into the Americas during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The Yorùbá pantheon is boundless; this paper will explore the transportability of the orisha through three of the representative deities that arrived in the New World: Ogun, Shango, and Oshun.
Proverbial Expressions in Contextual Definition of Káà and its Postproverbial Imagination
Authors: Ajadi Michael Olaniyi
Published: January 2023

Káà is an architectural term widely used by the Yoruba to describe designative points in a radius of curvature for a building complex agbo-ilé. The general idea of this time-honored complex has based on combining apartments into a congruous unit to give central area/courtyard aya-ilé, strewn with sand for open-air entertainments, contests, spectacles and judicatory. As significant as this architectural term and design is to Yoruba social history, discourse that surrounds the conception vis-à-vis the proverbial and post proverbial expressions in terms of usages have not been studied to give in detail, the set of facts and circumstances that prompts their context of use. Structures and styles of diverse Yorùbá historical architectures with their constituent parts demand contextual examination in order to make clear definitions of each section in the complex and explicate its signification to the value system. An in-depth study of Yorùbá architectural designs will provide sectional scrutiny of each spatial location in their building complexes and unveil the social group’s time-honored customs. The paper, therefore, studies spatial attributes, styles, and designative units in diverse Yorùbá architectural structures for historical values and denotations of customary beliefs and practices. In-depth interviews and historical review methodologies were used for age-long structures of this style; pictures were taken for value orientation discussions and detailed analysis of each unit to ethical codes. Findings revealed the methodical and efficient sectional arrangement of the structures and affirmed that moral principles and cultural values are preserved in this social unit. However, the architectural styles have been a virile preservation of Yorùbá cultural heritage as a gregarious ethnic group who avoids solitude.
Sole Native Authority (SNA) and the People at War: A Historical Review of the 1948 Erunkoja tax Riot in Ile-Ife
Authors: Afolabi Abiodun S.
Published: January 2023

The establishment of the British colonial administration and the introduction of the Indirect Rule system attracted opposition and riots in some places in Southern Nigeria. Indeed, the British decentralized despotism, the introduction of some burdensome taxation policies, and other prevalent tax related considerations naturally engendered resistance, which manifested in protest movements, revolts and outright riots in some places in Yorubaland. The article adopts the frustration-aggression theory. Evidence gathered from primary and secondary sources, chief among them being archival sources, interviews, and the use of extant literature. The paper argues that the increase in taxes after World War II had a political underpinning to the protest that led to the Erunkoja riot of 1948. Put differently, the riot was a consequence of the overbearing impact that increased taxes from the Second World War had on the people

Education is something that is very important for human life. By having an education, life is more secure. Education is the key for a nation to prepare a better future, so that it is able to compete with other nations. As a dynamic system, education is constantly highlighted by the community, government and stake holders accompanied by the emergence of increasingly complex educational problems. Changes in organizational culture on the one hand can improve performance, but on the other hand, they can also experience failures if they are not properly prepared and managed. Resistance to changes in organizational culture is essentially some individual and some organizational. Resistance to change of any nature remains a significant effect on changes in the existing organizational culture. The significance of the influence of changes in organizational culture will give rise to failures or ineffectiveness of the changes made. A leader should be able to make changes and overcome resistance to change. Without the changes made, an organization will not be able to develop properly. With the change in organizational culture towards a better one, the process of change is said to be effective.
AVRUPA RESMİNDE STATÜ SEMBOLÜ OLARAK TÜRK HALILARI: LONDRA ULUSAL GALERİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: ÖZKAVRUK ADANIR Elvan
Published: January 2023

Türk halıları Batı dünyasında yüzyıllar boyunca önemli bir yere sahip olmuştur. Türk halılarının Kuzey ve Batı Avrupa’ya ihracatıyla ilgili ilk bilgiler XI. yüzyıla ait olsa da bu halıların Avrupa ülkelerine yayılması ve bu toplumlar üstündeki etkisi konusunda kesin ve net bilgilerin 1453 yılından sonraki tarih- lere rastladığı söylenebilir. Türk halılarının Avrupa’ya girişinde Venedikli tüccarlar büyük rol oynamıştır.

Orta Çağ’da İngiltere’de halıların özel günlerde kiliselerde altarın önüne serildiği bilinmektedir. XVII. yüzyılın ortalarına kadar İngiliz saraylarında, aristokrat evlerinde ve diğer konutlarda zeminler taş, ahşap, karo ya da topraktır. Zeminler saman, çeşitli bitkiler veya çimen yayılarak örtülmüş, üzerlerine yer yaygısı serme gibi bir gelenekleri olmamıştır. XV. yüzyılda Türk halılarını satın almaya sadece kraliyet ailelerinin ve aristokrat ailelerin gücü yetmiştir. Bu yüzyılda halılar, diğer Doğu mallarından ve bazı sanat eserlerinden çok daha yüksek fiyata satılmıştır. Türk halıları Avrupa saraylarında, kiliselerde ve aristokrat evlerinde bir statü simgesi olarak teşhir edilmiştir.

Türk ve Doğu halılarının Avrupa resim sanatına ait örneklerde de resmedildiği görülmektedir. Halı- lar ilk önceleri dini konulu resimlerde daha sonra varlıklı kişilerin portrelerinde resmedilmiştir. Bu çalış- mada Londra Ulusal Galeri’de XV-XVII. yüzyıllar arasında tarihlendirilmiş bir grup tablo incelenmiştir. Tabloların ortak özelliği o dönemlerde Avrupa için Türk halılarının ne kadar değerli ve önemli olduğunu vurgulayan örnekler olmasıdır. Seçilen eserler Carlo Crivelli, Master of Saint Giles, David Ghirlandaio, Quinten Massys, Genç Hans Holbein ve Lorenzo Lotto tarafından yapılmıştır.

Geleneksel Türk sanatları içerisinde tekstilin dolayısıyla halıların özel bir yeri vardır. Halı, Tür- kistan coğrafyasından Anadolu’ya Türklerle beraber gelmiştir. Tekstil sanatının önemli bir kolu olan halıcılığın hem sosyal hem de ekonomik önemi bir önemi vardır. Elbette ki Türkistan coğrafyası uzantılı Anadolu Türk halılarında milli kültür ögesi olma özelliği vardır. Osmanlı döneminde de bir üretim mamulü ve maddi kültür ögesi olarak yer almıştır.

Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemlerinde Hereke’de yün ve daha sonra ipek halılar üretilmeye başlanmıştır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun ilk özel dokuma fabrikası olan Fabrika-i Hümayun İz- mit Körfezi’nin kuzey kıyısında, Hereke’de 1843’te kurulmuştur. Hereke dokumacılığı o dönemde fabrika ile seri üretime de geçmiştir. Hereke halıları devlet eliyle ve özel müteşebbis girişimleriyle şekillenmiştir.

Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivleri’nde Hereke ipek halıcılığı hakkında çok sayıda evrak vardır. Bildiride bu arşiv belgelerinin bugüne kadar pek ortaya çıkmamış konular hakkında olanları incelenecektir. Bu bağlamda Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivleri’nde Hereke ipek halıları hakkın- da kayda alınmış belgeler önemlidir.

Published: January 2023

Türk halklarının kültüründe halının çok önemli rol oynadığı malumdur. Halının ve halıcılı- ğın tarihi, gelişimi, gelenekleri, halıların türleri vs. üzerine yapılmış pek çok araştırma da bunu göstermektedir. Tatar halkının bu geleneğine bakıldığında ise durumun farklı olduğu görülmekte- dir. Halıcılığın Tatar halkında gelişimine dair bilgilere sadece tarih, etnografi, ağız araştırmaları vb. konulara yazılmış hizmetlerde rastlanabilir. Özellikle yapılan araştırmalar bulunmadı. Halının bilimsel araştırma konusu olmamasının objektif nedenleri, Tatar halkında bu geleneğin Anadolu, Azerbaycan, Türkmenistan, Dağıstan’da ve başka Türk bölgelerinde olduğu gibi sanat yüksekliği- ne ermemesinde olabilir. Tatar halkında eskide halıcılık olduğu malumdur. Sonraki devirlerde bu gelenek büyük bir tranformasyon geçirmiş, tekniği, malzemeleri, aletleri v.s. değişmiş, daha çok gündelik kullanım için basit eşya üretme işine dönüşmüş, ama önemini hiçbir zaman yetirmemiştir. Halı hayatın önemli unsuru olmuş ve doğal olarak onunla ilgili bilgi dilde yansımıştır. Dilin söz varlığını, frazeoloji, deyim ve atasözleri, halk edebiyatının türlü janrlarını inceleme halının hayatta oynadığı rolü anlamak için bol bilgi veriyor. Tatar yazı dilinde ve ağızlarda ‘halı’, ‘kilim’, ‘yaygı’ kavramlarını adlandırmak için birçok sözcük kullanılmaktadır. Yaptığımız araştırmadan anlaşıldığı üzere, onların semantikleri bazen yakın ya da eşit olabilir, ama lingvo kültür açısından farklılık gösterir. Örneğin, келәм ‘halı’ kelimesinin somut anlamlarının dışında dilde ‘düz yüzey’, ‘temiz yüzey’, ‘yumuşak yüzey’, ‘bir şeyin kalın katmanı’ vb. anlamları oluşmuştur. Zaten halı Tatar kültüründe türlü dönemlerde iktidar, yüksek sosyal statü, zenginlik, ev, rahatlık ve başka birçok kavramın sim- gesi olmuştur. ‘Halı’ anlamında bazen kullanılan палас sözcüğünde bu anlamlar yok. Tatar dilinin bu alanına ve başka el sanatlarına ait söz varlığını toplama, sistemleştirme, lingvo kültür açısından inceleme ve değerlendirme işlerine devam edilmelidir.

Published: January 2023

İnsanoğlu tarihsel sürecin başlangıcından itibaren hayatta kalabilmek için gerekli ihtiyaçlarını karşılamada önceleri kendisi daha sonra çevresindeki bireyler ve toplumsal yaşamın gelişmesiyle ehil kişilerin üretimlerinden yararlanmıştır. İhtiyaçların çeşitlenmesiyle birlikte toplumda görev paylaşımı birçok alanda uzmanlaşmaya gidilmesini gerektirmiştir. Böylece birçok ihtiyacı karşılamaya dayalı meslekler oluşmuş ve ürünler usta kişiler marifetiyle uygun mekanlarda yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türkler de küçük topluluklar halinde yaşadıkları dönemde kendi ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için keçe ürünler yaparken, toplumsal yaşam ve iktisadi hayatın gelişmesiyle keçe, ekonomik bir değere dönüşmüş ve üretenlerin geçimlerini sağlayan bir meslek dalı haline gelmiştir. Bu gelişmeye bağlı olarak her meslek gibi keçecilik de kendi ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan atölyelerini (işlik) oluşturmuştur. Keçe, koyun ve kuzu yününün nemli bir ortamda sıcak su ve sabun yardımıyla sıkıştırılarak yapılan atkısız ve çözgüsüz tekstil ürünü olup yapımı el becerisine dayanan rutin tekrarlarla gerçekleştirilir. Zaman içerisinde atölyeler kasaba ve kentlerin ticari merkezlerinde toplu halde çarşı içlerinde bir sokakta veya bir bedesten içinde faaliyet göstermiştir. Atölyeler, kültürel zenginliklerin üretilerek yaşatıldığı ve sonraki kuşaklara aktarılarak sürdürülmesine aracılık eden geleneksel birikim mekânları olmuştur.

Türkler kültürel birikimlerini Orta Asya’dan göç yoluyla Anadolu’ya taşımışlar ve toplumun ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için geleneksel üretimlerini burada da sürdürmüşlerdir. Kendi alanlarında yetkinleşen ustalar kent ve kasaba merkezlerinde açtıkları atölyelerde mesleklerini icra etmişlerdir. Keçe atölyeleri, Anadolu Selçuklu döneminden itibaren teşkilatlanan ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu döneminde de devam eden süreçte Ahilik kurumunun çatısı altında yapılaşmıştır. Geleneksel öğreti yöntemine göre yamaklık, çıraklık, kalfalık ve ustalık şeklinde yetiştirme evreleri oluşturulmuştur. Bu sistemde öğrenilen geleneksel bilgi ve becerileri el emeğine dayalı küçük ölçekli ve sipariş üzerine sınırlı üretimlerin gerçekleştirildiği atölye ortamında sürdürülmüştür. Günümüzde Anadolu’da az sayıda da olsa keçe atölyeleri ustalarının çabalarıyla faaliyetlerine devam etmektedir. Atölyeler, aynı zamanda sergileme, pazarlama ve depolama gibi birçok işlevi yerine getiren mekânlardır. Çalışmada, Anadolu coğrafyasında az sayıda da olsa üretimlerini sürdüren geleneksel keçe ustaları ve atölyeleri hakkında tespit ve değerlendirmeler yapılacaktır.

Azerbaycan dünyanın en eski yerleşim ve kültür merkezlerinden biridir. Çok zengin ve güzel bir iklime sahip olan Azerbaycan topraklarının doğası gereği, eski çağlardan beri burada insanlar yaşamıştır. Azıh mağarasında bulunan ve azykhantrop adı verilen adamın çene kemiği, Azerbay- can’ın dünyanın en eski ilkel yerleşim yerlerinden biri olduğunu kanıtlıyor. Gobustan’da keşfedilen yerleşim yerleri ve kayaüstü resimler bu bölgede eski çağlardan beri insanların yaşadığını doğrulamaktadır.

Tarihi süreçlerde ülkemiz topraklarında şehirler, savunma yapıları ve muhteşem kale duvarları, saraylar vs inşa edilmiştir.

Ortaçağ anıtları (Mömine Hatun, Karabağlar, Gülistan, Berde türbeleri, Şirvanşahlar sarayı, Şeki Han sarayı, Şuşa abideleri vb.) Doğu ve dünya mimarisinin en güzel incilerindendir.

Azerbaycan’da geleneksel el dokumaları denildiyi zaman ise halı en önde gelen dokumalardan biri sayılır. Halılar azerbaycanlıların yaşam şekli, geleneği, inancı ve sosyal durumu ile sıkı sıkıya bağlıdır. Mimarı yapılar kerpıc ve taşlarla belli bir sıralamayla inşa edilirken dokumalar da ipliklerle ilmek ilmek dokunarak iç mekanlara sıcaklık ve renk katmış, günlük kullanım eşyalarının vazgeçilmezlerinden olmuştur.

Mimaride ve geleneksel dokumalarda motifler ve süslemeler önemli bezeme unsurlarıdır.

Bu bağlamda 18. yüzyıl Azerbaycan mimarisinin incilerinden biri olarak kabul edilen Şeki Han Sarayı, özgün estetiği ile kurgulanmış duvar resimleri ve süsleme kompozisyonu ile önemlidir. Şeki Han Sarayı iç duvarlarında ve Azərbaycanın geleneksel el dokumalarındakı kompozisyonlarda geometrik ve bitkisel motiflerle yanaşı hayvan ve kuş figürlerinın de önemli süsleme elementleri olduğu görülmektedir.

Enhanced Robust Univariate Classification Methods for Solving Outliers and Overfitting Problems
Authors: Okwonu Friday Zinzendoff , Ahad Nor Aishah , Hamid Hashibah , Muda Nora , Sharipov Olimjon Shukurovich
Published: January 2023

The robustness of some classical univariate classifiers is hampered if the data are contaminated. Overfitting is another hiccup when the data sets are uncontaminated with a considerable sample size. The performance of the classification models can be easily biased by the outliers’ problems, of which the constructed model tends to be overfitted. Previous studies often used the Bayes Classifier (BC) and the Predictive Classifier (PC) to address two groups of univariate classification problems. Unfortunately for substantial large sample sizes and uncontaminated data, the BC method overfits when the Optimal Probability of Exact Classification (OPEC) is used as an evaluation benchmark. Meanwhile, for small sample sizes, the BC and PC methods are extremely susceptible to outliers. To overcome these two problems, we proposed two methods: the Smart Univariate Classifier (SUC) and the hybrid classifier. The latter is a combination of the SUC and the BC methods, known as the Smart Univariate Bayes Classifier (SUBC). The performance of the new classification methods was evaluated and compared with the conventional BC and PC methods using the OPEC as a benchmark value. To validate the performance of these classification methods, the Probability of Exact Classification (PEC) was compared with the OPEC value. The results showed that the proposed methods outperformed the conventional BC and PC methods based on the real data sets applied. Numerical results also revealed that the SUC method could solve the overfitting problem. The results further indicated that the two proposed methods were robust against outliers. Therefore, these new methods are helpful when practitioners are confronted with overfitting and data contamination problems.
A Novel Method for Fashion Clothing Image Classification Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Seong-Yoon Shin  , Gwanghyun Jo  , Guangxing Wang
Published: January 2023

Image recognition and classification is a significant research topic in computational vision and widely used computer technology. Themethods often used in image classification and recognition tasks are based on deep learning, like Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs), LeNet, and Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM). Unfortunately, the classification accuracy of these methods isunsatisfactory. In recent years, using large-scale deep learning networks to achieve image recognition and classification canimprove classification accuracy, such as VGG16 and Residual Network (ResNet). However, due to the deep network hierarchyand complex parameter settings, these models take more time in the training phase, especially when the sample number is small, which can easily lead to overfitting. This paper suggested a deep learning-based image classification technique based on a CNN model and improved convolutional and pooling layers. Furthermore, the study adopted the approximate dynamic learning rate update algorithm in the model training to realize the learning rate’s self-adaptation, ensure the model’s rapid convergence, and shorten the training time. Using the proposed model, an experiment was conducted on the Fashion-MNIST dataset, taking 6,000 images as the training dataset and 1,000 images as the testing dataset. In actual experiments, the classification accuracy of the suggested method was 93 percent, 4.6 percent higher than that of the basic CNN model. Simultaneously, the study compared the influence of the batch size of model training on classification accuracy. Experimental outcomes showed this model is very generalized in fashion clothing image classification tasks.
Sex-specific covariation between exploratory behavior and natal dispersal strategies in a natural cooperative breeding passerine population
Authors: Cox Tara , Sparks Alexandra , Burke Terry , Komdeur Jan , Richardson David , Dugdale Hannah
Published: January 2023

Natal dispersal is a major life-history strategy that has pervasive consequences on the spatial and genetic structure of populations. Between-individual variation in personality traits is increasingly recognized as an important determinant of natal dispersal via ‘personality-dependent dispersal’. However, few studies have investigated the importance of personalities in the context of delayed natal dispersal, in part due to the difficulty of monitoring the movements of individuals in open populations and over long periods of time. Here, we assessed personality-dependent natal dispersal strategies in an island population of cooperatively-breeding Seychelles warblers Acrocephalus sechellensis, where individuals have the option to delay dispersal in favor of remaining at their natal site. Specifically, we tested the effect of novel environment and novel object exploration on whether an individual delayed natal dispersal following sexual maturity, as well as the age of dispersal and the distance dispersed. We found males, but not females, with higher novel environment exploration scores were more likely to delay natal dispersal. In contrast, females that were more exploratory in a novel environment dispersed further, but this was not the case for males. The sex-specific nature of the relationship between exploration and natal dispersal in this system highlights the importance of considering sexual dimorphism in life-history strategies when investigating personality-dependent dispersal. Future studies should continue to assess the implications of animal personality on delayed natal dispersal, particularly in cooperatively breeding systems where the timing of dispersal has important implications on reproduction and fitness.

Authors: Wang Yaxuan
Published: January 2023

With the historical changes and the development of international relations situation, regional economic and social integration is an important trend to establish the deep development of economic globalisation. The Yangtze River Delta region is one of the regions with the most dynamic economic development, the highest degree of openness and the strongest innovation capacity in China and plays an important strategic position in the modernisation of the country. The purpose of this paper is to explore the problems faced in the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta regional economy, the ways to solve the difficulties and the prospects for future development. The approach taken is to compare the Yangtze River Delta region with the Northeast region in the North and the Pearl River Delta region in the South and to analyse the similarities and differences in the development trends of different geographical regions and their impact on regional development. This is then combined with historical contextual change factors as well as international experience and inspiration to further identify the opportunities and challenges faced by the Yangtze River Delta region in its development through comparative analysis. The conclusions show that China is actively involved in the process of regional economic integration, with the Yangtze River Delta region playing an important leading role. It has actively integrated international and domestic double-cycle development, utilised resources in an integrated manner, and drawn on international experience to seek better development opportunities. However, due to other constraints, such as historical changes, the Yangtze River Delta regional economic integration development process faces many challenges.

Published: January 2023

A field experiment was carried out at the research farm of Charfasson Govt. College, Bhola, Bangladesh in rabi season in 2015-2016 to evaluate the effects of cow dung (CD) with and without NPK fertilizers to estimate the concentration, uptake and oil content of sunflower cv. BARI-2 (Keroni-2). It was laid out in a completely randomized block design (CRBD) having sixteen treatments with three replications and plot size was 3m×2m. Treatments were T1: Control (- CD and -NPK), T2: 2.5t CD ha-1, T3: 5t CD ha-1, T4: 7.5t CD ha-1, T5: N40P30K50kg ha-1, T6: N80P60K100kg ha-1, T7: N120P90K150kg ha-1, T8: 2.5t CD ha-1 +N40P30K50kg ha-1, T9: 2.5t CD ha-1+N80P60K100kg ha-1, T10: 2.5t CD ha-1+N120P90K150kg ha-1, T11: 5t CD ha-1+ N40P30K50kg ha-1, T12: 5t CD ha-1+N80P60K100kg ha-1, T13: 5t CD ha-1 +N120P90K150kg ha-1, T14:7.5t CD ha-1+N40P30K50kg ha-1, T15:7.5t CD ha-1+N80P60K100kg ha-1 and T16: 7.5t CD ha-1+N120P90K150kg ha-1. Sixty plants were grown in each plot for 90 days. Maximum values of NPKS concentration (%) in different organs of sunflower were 1.08, 0.38, 2.04, 0.18 for root; 1.33, 0.33, 1.85, 0.19 for stem; 3.45, 0.67, 4.12, 0.18 for leaf; 1.99, 0.62, 3.0, 0.22 for petiole; 0.73, 0.68, 2.25, 0.23 for inflorescence, and 4.95, 0.94, 0.75, 0.26 for seed measured in combined treatments of 5t CD ha-1 + N120P90K150kg ha-1 and 7.5t CD ha-1 + N120P90K150kg ha-1 in most of the cases. The uptake pattern also followed the same trend as in concentration. The lowest concentration and uptake of NPKS were recorded in control (-CD and -NPK). The highest content of oil in seed (51.8%) was extracted from the treatment 5t CD ha-1+ N120P90K150kg ha-1 and the lowest value (35.6%) was in treatment 5t CD ha-1+ N80P60K100kg ha-1 which was lower than control. The findings of this study indicated that cow dung in combination with chemical fertilizers enhanced the concentration and uptake of NPKS and oil content in seeds of sunflower. The dose 5t CD ha-1 +N120P90K150kg ha-1 can be suggested to produce maximum oil. Study generated an information for the concern people for future research.

Arsenic (As) is a broadly distributed toxic metalloid that accumulates in the environment through natural and anthropogenic sources. Numerous techniques were evolved for arsenic remediation from water including adsorption, flocculation, ion exchange and reverse osmosis. Due to the excessive affinity between iron and inorganic arsenic species, iron-based adsorption is an emerging technique for the remediation of arsenic-contaminated water and soil. Whereas iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni) belong to the same chemical group (VIIIB) in the periodic table, it is expected to get similar interaction of Ni with As. An in vitro incubation study and pot experiment were conducted to evaluate the effect of Nickel on mineral release patterns in soil and growth yield of kalmi (Ipomoea aquatica), red amaranth (Amaranthus sp.) and Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). Nickel was applied as different doses of Nickel of 10, 40 and 160 mg/kg respectively where As was applied with irrigation water at the rates of 1 mg/L and incubated at field moisture condition for 10, 20 and 30 days individually in different pots. Total organic carbon (C), total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), potassium (K) and 0.1N HCl extractable arsenic (As), iron (Fe) contents were determined at 10, 20 and 30 days of incubation. The pot experiment was carried out in triplicates for 45 days till the plants were grown to maturity. The growth performance of plants and the remedial effect of Ni on As toxicity in soil and plant was examined. Nickel showed a significant impact on fresh and dry yield of three plants and an antagonistic relationship between Ni and As was also observed i.e., Ni in soil was found to lessen the availability of As in soil likewise its accumulation in plants.

Gastrointestinal parasitism and anthelmintic efficacy are of global concern for livestock and public health. An investigation on cattle gastrointestinal parasites and anthelmintic efficacy was conducted at Fulbaria Upazila, Mymensingh in 2017. Out of 100 fecal samples examined using simple sedimentation method, 70% cattle were found positive for parasites. The identified parasites were Paramphistomum spp. (27%), Fasciola gigantica (15%), Schistosoma spp. (10%), Haemonchus spp. (14 %) and Balantidium coli (12%). No significant variation was found in the prevalence rate between young (<2 years) and adult cattle (≥ 2 years). Significantly higher infection rate was recorded in male (81.63%) and in poor body conditioned animals (95.83%). For anthelmintic efficacy, feces from 50 animals were screened for eggs per gram (EPG) using McMaster technique. Twenty four cattle (>200 EPG) were allotted equally into three groups and further treated with either albendazole or ivermectin or kept as untreated control. EPG were again estimated for those animals at 14 days post-treatment. Status of anthelmintic efficacy was determined by using the fecal egg count reduction percentage (FECR %) test. The FECR % for albendazole and ivermectin were 98.76% and 95.01%, respectively. Results from this study indicated high parasitism in the study area and relatively higher efficacy of albendazole compared to ivermectin. Further studies are necessary to rule out the possibilities of anthelmintic resistance to parasites in cattle throughout the country as early as possible with a view to increase farmer awareness and to develop effective control strategies against endoparasites.

Published: January 2023

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of traditional Bengal culinary practice on the heavy metal content of four carp species (Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish samples were collected from seven different farms located in the Rajshahi district of Bangladesh. The collected samples were processed and cooked in a traditional currying method and concentrations of five heavy metals (Pb, Co, Cr, Cd, and Ni) were assessed in raw and cooked fish using a flame atomic spectrophotometer. Heavy metal concentrations were significantly reduced in the cooked samples with a few exceptions. The metal pollution index (MPI) indicated that the most amount of heavy metals was lost in C. cirrhosus followed by H. molitrix, L rohita, and C. catla. Pb was the most abundant and consumed of the tested heavy metals in the cooked fish followed by Co, Ni, Cd, and Cr respectively. Health risk index (HRI) and target hazard quotient (THQ) revealed that individual heavy metal intake from cooked fish does not pose any threat to human health. However, the hazard index (HI) of the accumulated heavy metals in the cooked fish suggested that the long-term effect of consuming heavy metal contaminated fish could collectively lead to possible non-carcinogenic health complexities. Additionally, HI also implied that the highest degree of health risk is associated with the consumption of H. molitrix and the least with L. rohita.

Introduction Healthcare facilities are high-risk settings for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the first large healthcare-associated outbreak within Australia occurred in Tasmania. Several operational research studies were conducted amongst workers from the implicated hospital campus, to learn more about COVID-19 transmission. Methods Healthcare workers (HCWs) from the implicated hospital campus were invited to complete an online survey and participate in a serology study. Blood samples for serological testing were collected at approximately 12 weeks (round one) and eight months (round two) after the outbreak. A descriptive analysis was conducted of participant characteristics, serology results, and longevity of antibodies. Results There were 261 HCWs in round one, of whom 44 (17%) were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed outbreak cases; 129 of the 261 (49%) participated in round two, of whom 34 (27%) were outbreak cases. The prevalence of positive antibodies at round one was 15% (n = 38) and at round two was 12% (n = 15). There were 15 participants (12%) who were seropositive in both rounds, with a further 9% (n = 12) of round two participants having equivocal results after previously being seropositive. Six HCWs not identified as cases during the outbreak were seropositive in round one, with three still seropositive in round two. Of those who participated in both rounds, 68% (n = 88) were seronegative at both time points. Discussion Our findings demonstrate that serological testing after this large healthcare-associated COVID-19 outbreak complemented the findings of earlier diagnostic testing, with evidence of additional infections to those diagnosed when use of PCR testing had been restricted. The results also provide evidence of persisting SARS-CoV-2 antibody response eight months after an outbreak in an unvaccinated population. The high proportion of HCWs who remained seronegative is consistent with low community transmission in Tasmania after this outbreak.
