Authors: Rustam Rameela , Hussain Saddam , Rustam Tanzeela , Ishtiaq Rimsha
Published: July 2024

Earth temperature ascend because of modern disturbance caused by petroleum products which produce heat entangling gases and cause an unnatural weather change. Rising temperature is disturbing condition for whole globe. Rainfall is the principal source for water and soil moisture within the semi-arid and dry places in the world. Due to temperature shift less rainfall affect agriculture turns into vulnerable and plants faces severe water shortages. So drought is a prime concern in many countries like UAE. Many countries using cloud seeding is a ultimate solution for drought. All around the world generally salts are utilized as cloud seeder. Silver iodide, dry ice, and potassium iodide are the most widely recognized as cloud nuclei. These chemical aerosols in cloud seeding might possibly harm the climate, particularly the plants as well as also adversely effect on human health. Biological ice nuclei are different from these chemicals for the reason that bacteria are more effective ice nuclei than salt particles, because of their sizes and there working temperatures. This study’s goal is to concentrate on the impact of biological aerosol on cloud seeding and the environment. The findings of this study demonstrate that certain P.syringae strains are more suited to survive in conditions that arise at high altitudes and in clouds. P.syringea have own advantages and drawbacks. Bacterial ice nuclei activity cause frost in plants and damage them. Using of pesticides to control the damage of plants by P.syringea adversely affect the climate. Involving genetic adjustment in P.syringea host plants the plants effectively guarded off the bacterial disease with practically no harm to the actual plants or the general climate.

The Happiness of Material Things
Authors:   , Taylor Rachel
Published: July 2024

The high demand for mental health services in NZ necessitates societal shifts to improve mental wellbeing. Targeting the mental wellbeing of children establishes behaviours, setting up generations for high quality living. This research explored the role of materiality in enhancing child wellbeing within a learning environment.

Theories suggest children understand space by experiencing with their whole bodies and using all senses. Elements affecting the physical body are heavily researched for wellbeing, while visual qualities are less examined.

Initial work established principles of wellbeing from a child’s perspective and depicts how this can be reflected through architecture. Material theory was researched, followed by examination of material use in ‘successful’ international and New Zealand learning environments. An experimentation phase, collected data from students testing architectural theory, to understand actual resonance of theory with children. In the design experiments, materiality tests were completed on an existing school and the effects assessed. The final design demonstrates implementations of tactics indicated throughout the research.

Wellbeing principles established from a child’s perspective of wellbeing are used throughout the research as measurable tools. Material theory assessed indicates pattern, texture and colour as integral for design, informing decision choices for the remainder of the research. Within New Zealand, higher consideration of materiality is needed to enhance spaces for wellbeing. Empirical data collection proved this integral, indicating through qualitative and quantitative analysis that children react consistently with architectural theory. Design exercises indicate use of theory through combining different aspects of materiality to create positive spaces. The final design acts as a visual representation of a variety of techniques designers can use to enhance child wellbeing through material choice, combination and placement.

The findings of this research promote more consideration of material selection and combination to produce learning environments that enhance the overall wellbeing of students in schools.
Sharing the Ecotone

Published: July 2024

Coastal infrastructure like seawalls have created a condition along our urban coastlines where the inland migration of intertidal species will be restricted. Due to changes in climate and the subsequent effects of sea level rise, these ecosystems will face gradual but imminent habitat reduction. As designers, we need effective and efficient means of engaging with intertidal ecology to ensure that critical species that are most at risk from coastal squeeze will be retained. Wellington’s coastline is one of many examples where urban areas with heavily modified coastlines will be facing the effects of coastal squeeze. Omarukaikuru (Point Jerningham) supports a range of rocky intertidal habitat that due to significant coastal modification in the form of seawalls will be under threat due to the effects of coastal squeeze. The reason that sites like this and many more around Wellington’s coast continue to be designed in such a way is largely due to the time it takes to engage meaningfully with coastal ecology, and the absence of applicable methods that bridge the gap between ecology and landscape architecture. This research explores methods of engaging and mapping site ecology while also synthesizing ways in which this knowledge can inform design. Methods explored include, aerial lidar mapping, mapping of species distribution and behavior as well as the testing of design prototypes through installations. These methods are trialed in the design of the coastal edge at Omarukaikuru. This trial communicates how methods of engaging with site ecology are translated into ecologically sensitive design outcomes.

Published: July 2024

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically highlighted the critical role of nursing in healthcare, transforming the traditional image of nurses from "sisters" or "white angels" to a more esteemed and academic profession. This study aims to evaluate nurses' perspectives on how the media influences the perception of the nursing profession during the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on their professional image. The study seeks to assess nurses' views on the media's role in shaping public perception of nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for professional identity. A total of 208 nurses employed in a hospital setting between January 2022 – March 2022 participated in this research, with institutional approval. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire and the Nursing Profession Image Scale. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and Student t-tests, with a significance level set at p<0.05. The average age of the nurses was 35.02±7.80 years, with 81.7% being female. Only 7.3% were affiliated with a professional association. A notable 26.0% believed there were positive shifts in the nursing profession's image during the pandemic, while 80.3% observed increased discourse around nursing due to the pandemic. Moreover, 41.8% felt the media adequately portrayed nurses and their professional challenges. The mean score on the Nurses' Image Scale was 112.00±9.67. According to gender, affiliation with a professional organization, and perceptions of media coverage, the perception of the nursing profession's image has varied. However, no significant correlations were found between age, education, professional experience, and perception of the nursing profession. Nurses' perceptions of their professional image are moderately positive. Efforts to enhance the profession's public perception, particularly through media representation, are deemed imperative.
Association of maladaptive daydreaming with behavioral addiction
Authors: Öğüt Çağrı
Published: July 2024

Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is a proposed syndrome characterized by extensive, immersive daydreaming. Case reports have suggested an association of MD with behavioral addictions such as excessive internet use, online gaming, and compulsive sexual behaviors. The aim of this study was to investigate maladaptive daydreaming and behavioral addiction symptoms among young adults. An online questionnaire was administered to 293 volunteer medical students. Participants were assessed by applying the 16-item Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale (MDS-16), Addictive Behavior Burden Form, and Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale (ASRS). Participants were divided into two groups: probable MD (MDers) and non-MDers, according to MDS-16. Age and gender did not significantly differ between the MD and non-MD groups. MDers had more severe symptoms associated with gaming addiction (p = 0.03; U = 4941), problematic social media use (p = 0.01; U = 4680), food addiction (p = 0.01; U = 4965), sex/pornography addiction (p = 0.01; U = 4787), and compulsive buying (p = 0.03; U = 4874) than non-MDers. Among the behavioral addiction dimensions assessed in the study, only gaming addiction was a significant statistical predictor of MD. These findings highlight a significant association between MD and behavioral addictions, particularly gaming addiction, in young adults. Furthermore, the findings of this study suggest a unique relationship between gaming addiction and MD.

Abstract
The food enzyme lysophospholipase (2‐lysophosphatidylcholine acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.5) is produced with the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain DP‐Nyc81 by Genencor International B.V. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. It is intended to be used in the processing of cereals and other grains for the production of glucose syrups and other starch hydrolysates. Since residual amounts of food enzyme–total organic solids are removed during these food manufacturing processes, dietary exposure was not calculated and toxicological studies were considered unnecessary. A search for the identity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns, under the intended conditions of use.

Published: July 2024

In the context of the global pandemic, public health screening has become paramount as the whole world including developed countries is going through a health crisis. A face mask prevents transpiration and protects against airborne transmitted bacteria or viruses. In the previous scenario of coronavirus, it was critical to eradicate this sickness and preserve our lives. Hence, prevention is better than cure becomes true. Accordingly, many precautionary measures were taken to reduce the spread of the virus. One such method of prevention is wearing a mask and regular monitoring of body temperature. This research dealt with the design and construction of an automatic entry barrier machine that integrates both facemask detection and scanning of individuals exhibiting elevated body temperature functionalities without any human interference. This was accomplished by simulating and synergizing a microprocessor (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+), a Pi camera, an Infrared Non-contact Temperature sensor, a servo motor, and other components. The barrier arm opens and allows entrance at normal temperature by indicating a green light, displaying ‘allow’ on the LCD, and signaling once or preventing entrance at an elevated unacceptable temperature by indicating a red light, displaying ‘not allowed’ on the LCD, and signaling five (5) times.

Background: Proximal humerus fractures, are a major medical issue that are relatively prevalent. 4-5% of all fractures are proximal humeral fractures, most of which involve older and osteoporotic individuals. Objectives: To compare the functional outcome of philos plate vs. external fixator in the management of proximal humerus fracture. Material and Methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital, Lahore. From November 23, 2022, to May 23, 2023. After approval from the hospital's ethical board, 112(56 per group) patients were included in the study through an emergency. Informed consent was taken from parents. We stratified patients into two groups. Group A received the treatment of Philos, while Group B received the external fixator treatment. Functional outcome was assessed at the end of 3 months postoperatively using constant shoulder score. The collected data were entered and analyzed accordingly using SPSS version 27. Results: In the current study, a total of 112 patients included underwent two surgical interventions, among these, 56 patients underwent Philos plating while an equal number of patients underwent external fixation. In Group A and B, the majority were males (37:47) out of 112. The mean age of patients was equal in both groups (Group A=44.36±11.71), and the mean age of patients was (Group A=44.88±10.05), ranging from 20 to 80 years. In Group A, the average BMI was less than 24.29±4.23, ranging from 18-35 kg/m2, compared to Group B, 28.89±3.77, ranging from 22-35 kg/m2. 38(67.9%) were effected from right side as in Group A while 41(73.2%) were effected from right side in Group B. Majoruty 28(50.0%) had history of RTA in Group A while patients 24(42.9%) were observed with history of RTA in Group B25(44.6%) cases reported excellent outcome, 6(10.7%) reported very good outcome, 16(21.4%) good, 7(12.5%) fair and 2(3.6%) poor outcome in Group A. In Group B, 36(64.3%) excellent, 7(12.5%) very good, 12(21.4%) cases reported Good and 1(1%) reported fair outcome. So it is concluded that 25(44.6%) cases reported excellent outcome in Group A, comparatively low as compared to Group B 36(64.3%). Only age was significantly associated with excellent outcomes as p<.05. Conclusion: It is concluded that External fixation demonstrated a better outcome as compared to Philos Plating, so in Orthopaedic practice, External fixation should be preferred for patients diagnosed with proximal humerus fracture to get better results and reduce the complications.

The need to bring a solution to the problem of water shortage in various places by eliminating one of the culprit; waste of water during pumping and dispensing into overhead thanks, calls for an automated control system which puts into consideration, means of avoiding mechanical tears and wears that arises with the use of robes as water level sensor, through the incorporation of wireless water level sensor in place of robes in sensing the water level in the modeled tank. To solve this problem, circuit analysis and design, of the five main sub-circuitry units, this includes: power supply unit, logic and switching circuitry unit, relay unit, LCD display unit was carried out using ultrasonic water level sensor, AT89S51 microcontroller, LCD module relay circuitry system and a few discrete components. The design of the controller in this scenario is not just cost effective but helps in avoiding mechanical tears and wears that arises with the use of robes as water level sensor, by providing an improvement on existing water level control system through the incorporation of wireless water level sensor in place of robes in sensing the water level in the modeled tank.

This study investigated the consumption expenditure on animal protein in Osun State, Nigeria with a view of describing the Socio-economic characteristics of farming households consuming the selected animal protein foods studied. A probability sampling method was employed to randomly pick a sample size comprising 120.0 responders within the designated study area. The data revealed that a majority of household heads were male, with limited formal education, and primarily engaged in agricultural occupations. Data gathered from the participants was subjected to descriptive analysis techniques, including frequency distribution, percentage calculations, and the budget share index. The findings from this analysis revealed a significant influence of socio-economic factors, including gender, marital status, and educational level, on the demand for animal protein foods within the studied households. The mean price for the animal protein products is as follows: Beef N3,540, Goat meat N3,877.5, Sheep meat N2,922.5, Egg N1,756.2, Fish N4,219.1 and Chicken N4,417.5 respectively. Percentage share in the following animal protein is as follows: beef (7.11%), Goat meat (18.69%), Sheep meat (14.09%), Egg (8.47%), Fish (20.34%) and Chicken (21.30%) respectively. The study recommends that rural households be encouraged to diversify their income sources and informal Education should be provided on the outcome of inadequate protein in their diet.

Nanotechnology applications in breast implant manufacturing for improved durability and functionality

Published: July 2024

Breast implants are often used in restorative and cosmetic surgeries. However, the materials used for implants today could be better regarding biocompatibility and mechanical strength. It is possible to make composite biomaterials out of nanomaterials with better mechanical qualities than common implant materials like silicone elastomers and saline-filled shells. Researchers have found that adding carbon nanotubes, graphene, and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles to the shells of metal and silicone implants makes them much stronger, more flexible, and less likely to break. Researchers are also looking into polymer nanocomposites made of polycaprolactone and polylactic acid to see if they can break down better and integrate better with tissues. Changing the surface of implants at the nanoscale level can make them more biocompatible by controlling how proteins stick to the material and how cells interact with it. Animal tests with nanocoatings of polyacrylate, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid showed that they lowered the formation of capsules and inflammation. Antimicrobial nanoparticles, such as silver, zinc oxide, and antibiotics, are attached to the surfaces of implants to protect against infections and release drugs locally. Nanocontrast agents are used in high-resolution MRI and ultrasound images of implant shell integrity to get new imaging and diagnosis tools. By tracking biomarkers, nanostructured sensors could be used to find seromas, ruptures, and device failures with little to no damage. Much work has been done to show that different nanotechnologies can help breast implants in a pre-clinical setting. However, problems with regulation and standardization still need to be fixed before the implants can be used in people and made in large quantities. The process needs to be improved even more to make a lot of nanocomposite and etched surfaces. To make sure patients are safe, it is also important to do long-term biocompatibility and nanotoxicology tests. Nanotechnology has a lot of promise to change the way breast implants are made so that they look better and improve people's quality of life. This review examines nanotechnology's emerging applications for enhancing breast implants' durability and performance.
Evaluating the effects of nitrogen application on the agricultural performance of improved rice varieties in Marin, Sindhuli, Nepal

This study focuses the agronomic performance of two rice varieties, Ram Dhan and Sabitri Dhan, under varying nitrogen levels in central inner terai Sindhuli, Nepal, conducted from June to October 2022. The primary motivation is to understand the nuanced impacts of nitrogen application on key physiological traits and yield components without assuming statistically significant differences. The central problem addressed is to explore how different nitrogen levels interact with these traits and influence overall crop productivity. Our study hypothesizes that nitrogen application may affect agronomic parameters such as flag leaf characteristics, culm dimensions, tiller number, flowering dynamics, panicle morphology, and grain yield. The experiment utilized a factorial randomized block design with six treatments and four replications, applying nitrogen levels (100 kg/ha, 120 kg/ha, 140 kg/ha) at split doses during critical growth stages. Data collection included meticulous measurement of these traits following standard agronomic protocols. Key findings revealed that while Sabitri Dhan tended to show higher tiller numbers and panicle traits compared to Ram Dhan, Ram Dhan exhibited marginally better grain yield and harvest index. These results suggest that despite the absence of statistically significant differences, there are practical implications for rice cultivation practices in similar agro-ecological contexts. The study underscores the importance of considering non-significant results in agricultural research to refine nutrient management strategies and enhance crop productivity sustainably. Future research could further explore the nuanced interactions between nitrogen levels and rice varieties to optimize agronomic practices tailored to local conditions and improve yield stability and resilience in rice cultivation.

Neste artigo apresentamos alguns dos desafios enfrentados pelo professor de matemática em exercício e em formação inicial, mediante as propostas da BNCC para o ensino e a aprendizagem da disciplina. Desse modo, tecemos reflexões acerca do papel do docente frente ao documento oficial em questão, o qual é de caráter normativo e define o conjunto de aprendizagens a serem desenvolvidas no decorrer da Educação Básica. A implantação da proposta demanda análise do profissional que, em meio às sugestões do documento oficial, pode ser levado tanto a agir como racionalista técnico quanto como educador comprometido a educar matematicamente os estudantes. As discussões apresentadas estão pautadas no modelo de insubordinação criativa, sugerido em D’Ambrosio e Lopes (2015), e ocorreram durante encontros do Getema, um grupo de trabalho e estudos em Educação Matemática. Tal grupo se empenhou a ler e discutir as propostas acerca do ensino de matemática presentes na BNCC, com o objetivo de e debater acerca de interesses subjacentes ao documento oficial e assim apontar caminhos que estimulem a prática reflexiva como alternativa para uma visão mais ampla e, consequentemente, ação libertadora.
