All-male giant freshwater prawns (AMGFPs) have been a popular crop cultivated in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, due to their proven production efficiency compared to all-female or mixed-sex prawn cultures. However, the crucial water quality factors impacting AMGFP aquaculture efficiency have yet to be elaborately investigated. Two separate experiments were randomly arranged with three replicates to evaluate the effects of salinity or alkalinity on the growth and survival of AMGFP juveniles during the grow-out period. The results show that the prawn survival rate in the salinity range of 0–15‰ varied from 66.1 to 74.8％ and in a salinity range of 0–5‰ was relatively low compared to the range of 10-15‰; however, the difference was not significant among salinities after 90 days of culture (p > 0.05). All the prawn growth performance parameters significantly decreased with increasing salinities of 0, 5, 10, and 15‰ after 30, 60, and 90 days of culture (p < 0.05). Notably, the prawn yield did not significantly differ between salinities of 0 and 5‰ (p > 0.05), and both were significantly higher than those at salinities of 10 and 15‰ (p < 0.05) after 90 days of culture. In addition, the survival rate reached 82.5–84.4％ and did not significantly differ among alkalinities of 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160 mgCaCO3 L−1. However, the growth performance parameters and yield of AMGFPs at an alkalinity of 160 mg L−1 were significantly higher than those at lower alkalinities (80, 100, 120, and 140 mg CaCO3 L−1) after 90 days of culture. Therefore, it is recommended that a salinity range of 0–5‰ and alkalinity of 160 mgCaCO3 L−1 is optimal for the growth-out culture of AMGFP juveniles.
OTHERNESS OF TREES: FACTNESS AND FICTION IN RECENT NARRATIVES OF ARBOREAL SURVIVAL
Authors: A Stotesbury John
Published: November 2022

The primary intention of this article is to explore some of the ways in which present-day readers, living in an age of increasing awareness of ecological change, interact with the concept of the “tree” as it appears in a variety of discourses: children’s fiction, TV documentary, scholarly writing, popularising ecological discourse, and recent mainstream Anglophone fiction, most notably that of the Turkish-British novelist Elif Shafak, whose The Island of Missing Trees (2021) features a sentient tree as a prominent narrator. The primary concern of this article is then to discuss some of the ways in which fictional texts have been augmented by popularising, fact-based discourses, most notably by the use of anthropomorphism, which supposedly permits the reader to “imagine” the existence of the arboreal Other. Inevitably, given the range of discursive sources, the findings are in part conflictual, although all can be seen to contribute in different ways to the current human-centred re-imagination of the perceived fraught relationship that exists between the natural world and the human being.

Strategic HRM Preparedness for Healthcare Crisis Management
Authors:   Kingdom of saudi Arabia, jeddah Alajaweed, 7410, Albarqi Hasan
Published: November 2022

Background: unforeseen events, such as a pandemic crisis, and disasters sometimes spontaneously arise in the healthcare organization. While it is recommended that the management should formulate robust plans in readiness for such crises, there is little evidence on the current preparedness of the strategic human resource management in the crisis preparedness in Saudi Arabia. Purpose: this research was conducted to analyze the role and preparedness of strategic human resource planning in the crisis management in Saudi Arabia. Methods: quantitative cross-sectional research was conducted in Saudi Arabia. Data was collected from a sample of 68 participants, who were healthcare workers in different occupations, including doctors, nurses, receptionists, management and risk management. the questionnaire used in data collection was adapted from a previous research study. The analysis of data was then performed using the descriptive statistics of SPSS for evidence-based conclusion. Results: this study noted that most of the healthcare service providers through the strategic human resource management mostly read the emergency response plan for strategic crises management annually (71%) and 29.41% never read them at all. However, 91% have an emergency response plan crises management, and 60.29% have a summarized version of the risk management. It was also established that 38.23% of the healthcare workers participate in the collective training with the local authorities annually and 79.41% do update their contact details for easy access. Conclusion: overall, the preparedness of the strategic HRM in healthcare organizations to deal with crisis varies from case to case. Nevertheless, there is a need for improving the healthcare crisis preparedness among the human resource management in Saudi Arabia.
Multiple hamartomas of the oral cavity with bifid tongue and cleft palate: A unique observation
Authors: Hassan Moaied
Published: November 2022

Background: Hamartomas are developmental tumor-like malformations, comprising a mixture of cytologically mature tissues that are indigenous to their anatomical location.  Within the oral cavity, these lesions are usually multifocal, relatively small, and asymptomatic, and have been frequently linked to present as a manifestation of the oro-facial-digital-syndrome.
Case Presentation: A 2-day-old female newborn was referred with two masses protruding from the oral cavity, feeding difficulties, and dribbling of milk during feeding. The patient had no dysmorphic features and no obvious associated anomalies. On careful examination, there was one mass protruding from the undersurface of a bifid tongue with another larger mass that seemed to originate from the hard palate. Complete surgical excision of both masses and repair of the bifid tongue were done to relieve the baby’s feeding difficulties. Histopathological examination of both specimens confirmed the diagnosis of multiple hamartomas.
Conclusion: The occurrence of multiple and large oral hamartomas in newborns might result in feeding difficulties that necessitate urgent surgical intervention. The association of lingual and palatal hamartomas, with bifid tongue and cleft palate, is a unique observation that is not reported in the English literature.

ON THE BASIS OF PERCEPTION: A MODERATED MEDIATION ANALYSIS OF DOING BUSINESS AND CORRUPTION
Authors: Dahlan Muhammad
Published: November 2022

One of the landmark projects from the World Bank was the initiative called the Ease of Doing Business (EODB), which captures business regulatory settings in countries worldwide. The EODB scores have long indicated a country’s attractiveness in doing business with private sectors and have attracted many scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to explore. Many researchers have indicated that doing business scores were associated with economic growth, international relations, business development, and many other areas. This study contributes to the debate on how business regulations are associated with the perception of corruption index (CPI) using moderated mediation analysis. The results find that GDP per capita mediates the relationship between EODB and CPI and that country’s income category moderates the mediation. The relationships are explored for a period of ten years, from 2010 to 2019 worldwide (n= 146). The country’s income category moderated the mediating impact of GDP per capita by softening the influence of EODB on CPI ( .3013, BootSE = .0507, LLCI =0.2246, ULCI= 0.4226). The author suggests corroborating factor analysis and exploring the variables using more advanced path analysis for future research
Syntactic and semantic mismatches in English number agreement
Authors: Sturt Patrick
Published: November 2022

In English, it is possible for a morphologically singular collective noun like government to control both singular (syntactic) agreement and plural (semantic) agreement in the same sentence (e.g. The government has praised themselves). It has been claimed that sentences with the opposite pattern of agreeing elements are ungrammatical (e.g. *The government have praised itself), and there is a corresponding asymmetry in corpus frequencies of these two configurations. Across two acceptability judgement experiments, we show that the acceptability contrast is affected by the relative order of the two agreeing elements, with degraded acceptability in the case where the first agreeing element shows plural agreement and the second shows singular agreement, relative to the opposite configuration. This pattern is found both when the agreeing verb precedes the reflexive, and when the reflexive precedes the verb. Overall, the results suggest that the initial formation of a semantic agreement dependency between an agreement target and a collective controller makes subsequent morpho-syntactic agreement with the same controller less accessible. We argue that any theoretical account of these results would require an important role for incremental processing.  
An X-ray lead screen may be used to reduce an interventional radiologist’s radiation exposure during CT-guided procedures

Published: November 2022

Introduction

The exposure of both patient and operator to radiation is one of the limitations of computed tomography (CT)-guided interventions, and it should be kept as low as reasonably possible. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a lead screen in reducing the radiation dose to an operator in the course of CT-guided interventions.

Material and methods

This prospective study analysed data collected from 72 consecutive CT-guided procedures, all of which were performed with an X-ray protective lead screen placed between the scanner and the operator. Five dosimeters were placed in the CT scanning room, and accumulated radiation doses were measured for each dosimeter.

Results

The dosimeter placed on the gantry side of the lead screen revealed highest levels of radiation (11.33 ± 1.93 mSv),
which were significantly higher than those at all other dosimeters. The radiation dose behind the lead screen was almost the same when measured by dosimeters on the CT scanner gantry side and 3 metres away from it. The presence of the screen caused no discomfort for operators.

Conclusions

A lead screen reduces an operator’s radiation exposure significantly, while not posing any obstacles or causing any discomfort while CT-guided procedures are carried out.

The Democratization of Knowledge in Renaissance Italy
Authors: Sgarbi Marco
Published: November 2022

The book identifies to what extent it is possible to speak of a democratization of knowledge in Renaissance Italy. It establishes the boundaries of the present investigation within the Aristotelian tradition, and outlines democratization as a process capable of assigning power to people. It deals with how the democratization of knowledge historically is invested equally in ideas from religion and philosophy, involving the same democratizers, moved by similar intentions, employing identical techniques of vulgarization and targeting equivalent communities of recipients.
Figures of Democratizers
Authors: Sgarbi Marco
Published: November 2022

Chapter 3 outlines the intellectual figures that comprised the democratizers
of knowledge in sixteenth-century Italy, with a specific focus
on authors like Antonio Brucioli, Sperone Speroni, Benedetto Varchi,
Lodovico Castelvetro, Bernardo Segni, Alessandro Piccolomini, and Felice
Figliucci. After a brief description of their main characteristics in the first
part, the chapter focuses on their classical education. The second part
reconstructs the important role that the “Venetian moment” played in their
intellectual life in three important respects: knowledge of Aristotelianism,
development of linguistic theories, and availability of printing presses.
The last part deals with the religious background of the democratizers
and their connections with movements of spiritual renewal.
The Hydraulics of the Soul: Jacobus
Meilingius’s Allegorical Schemata
Authors: de Bont Anneke
Published: November 2022

This case study considers a large single-sheet engraving by Jacobus
Meilingius entitled Figurata Meditatio Microcosmi (1629). Its interlinking
fountains and tiered flower vessel surrounded by allegorical figures suggest
at first glance a moral theme, yet closer inspection proves this composition
instead presents a faithful summary of the second-century physician Galen
of Pergamum’s writings on the organization and elaboration of the human
soul via the digestive, vascular, arterial and nervous systems. Beyond
parsing the pneumatic theme, this essay identifies this print’s creator
as a Dutch surgeon and argues his inspiration for this unique hydraulic
metaphor for the soul was rooted in both medical and religious thought.
Epilogue
Authors: Porras Stephanie
Published: November 2022

This chapter considers what happens to the “knowing imprint” when
it moves outside of its original epistemological habitat. Wherever early
modern Europeans traveled they brought printed images with them, to
explain political and religious systems, to introduce customs, stories and
artistic styles. Reverse engineering early modern prints’ epistemic opacity
in colonial contexts may not be fully achievable, but as the discipline of
art history embraces computer vision, certain methodological parallels
emerge. Computers have to be taught to see, and digitization ventures
like the Getty Research Institute’s PhotoTech project seek to automate
metadata generation, to recognize important information and visual
similarities. This chapter explores print’s ontological operations and
epistemic limits, drawing on the operative challenges facing the ontology
of computer vision.
Predictive Effect of Self-Efficacy on Academics’ Performance Appraisals
Authors: Hung Luu Nguyen Quoc
Published: November 2022

For the past few decades, universities in many countries have been required to adopt systematic performance appraisal systems to increase quality and effectiveness of academics’ performances. In line with much effort expended to examine aspects of effective performance appraisals and how appraisal processes likely influence academics’ performance, increasing attention has been paid to empirically study how intra-individual psychological factors and cultural orientations at the individual level are related to performance appraisal. With the aim to develop knowledge of self-efficacy in relation to academic performance appraisal from a cross-cultural perspective, this exploratory study through an online survey investigated relationships between academics’ self-efficacy for research, self-efficacy for teaching, self-efficacy for performance appraisal, trust in performance appraisal, and cultural orientation at the individual level. The study proposes a newly conceptualised construct, “self-efficacy for appraisal”, and reports the first attempt to examine this construct in universities. The main results pointed to positive association of self-efficacy for research, self-efficacy for teaching, and trust in appraisal with self-efficacy for appraisal. These relationships together appear never to have been proposed previously in the literature.

Abstract. Bromine released from the decomposition of short-lived brominated source gases contributes as a sink of ozone in the lower stratosphere.
The two major contributors are CH2Br2 and CHBr3.
In this study, we investigate the global seasonal distribution of these two substances, based on four High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) missions, the HIAPER Pole-to-Pole Observations (HIPPO) mission, and the Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) mission.
Observations of CH2Br2 in the free and upper troposphere indicate a pronounced seasonality in both hemispheres, with slightly larger mixing ratios in the Northern Hemisphere (NH).
Compared to CH2Br2, CHBr3 in these regions shows larger variability and less clear seasonality, presenting larger mixing ratios in winter and autumn in NH midlatitudes to high latitudes.
The lowermost stratosphere of SH and NH shows a very similar distribution of CH2Br2 in hemispheric spring with differences well below 0.1 ppt, while the differences in hemispheric autumn are much larger with substantially smaller values in the SH than in the NH.
This suggests that transport processes may be different in both hemispheric autumn seasons, which implies that the influx of tropospheric air (“flushing”) into the NH lowermost stratosphere is more efficient than in the SH.
The observations of CHBr3 support the suggestion, with a steeper vertical gradient in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in SH autumn than in NH autumn.
However, the SH database is insufficient to quantify this difference.
We further compare the observations to model estimates of TOMCAT (Toulouse Off-line Model of Chemistry And Transport) and CAM-Chem (Community Atmosphere Model with Chemistry, version 4), both using the same emission inventory of Ordóñez et al. (2012).
The pronounced tropospheric seasonality of CH2Br2 in the SH is not reproduced by the models,
presumably due to erroneous seasonal emissions or atmospheric photochemical decomposition efficiencies.
In contrast, model simulations of CHBr3 show a pronounced seasonality in both hemispheres, which is not confirmed by observations.
The distributions of both species in the lowermost stratosphere of the Northern and Southern hemispheres are overall well captured by the models with the exception of southern hemispheric autumn,
where both models present a bias that maximizes in the lowest 40 K above the tropopause, with considerably lower mixing ratios in the observations.
Thus, both models reproduce equivalent flushing in both hemispheres, which is not confirmed by the limited available observations.
Our study emphasizes the need for more extensive observations in the SH to fully understand the impact of CH2Br2 and CHBr3 on lowermost-stratospheric ozone loss and to help constrain emissions.
Survival probabilities of atmospheric particles: comparison based on theory, cluster population simulations, and observations in Beijing

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) events are regularly observed in
urban Beijing, despite high concentrations of background particles which,
based on theory, should inhibit NPF due to high values of coagulation sink
(CoagS). The survival probability, which depends on both CoagS and particle
growth rate (GR), is a key parameter in determining the occurrence of NPF events
as it describes the fraction of newly formed particles that survive from a
smaller diameter to a larger diameter. In this study, we investigate and
compare survival probabilities from 1.5 to 3 nm (J3/J1.5), from 3 to
6 nm (J6/J3), and from 6 to 10 nm (J10/J6) based on analytical
formulae, cluster population simulations, and atmospheric observations from
Beijing. We find that survival probabilities based on the cluster population
simulations and one of the analytical formulae are in a good agreement.
However, at low ratios between the background condensation sink (CS) and GR,
and at high concentrations of sub-3 nm clusters, cluster–cluster collisions
efficiently lower survival probabilities in the cluster population
simulations. Due to the large concentrations of clusters and small particles
required to considerably affect the survival probabilities, we consider it
unlikely that cluster–cluster collisions significantly affect atmospheric
survival probabilities. The values of J10/J6 observed in Beijing show
high variability, most likely due to influences of primary particle
emissions, but are on average in relatively good agreement with the values
based on the simulations and the analytical formulae. The observed values of
J6/J3 are mostly lower than those predicted based on the simulations
and the analytical formulae, which could be explained by uncertainties in CS
and GR. The observed values of J3/J1.5 at high CS / GR are much higher
than predicted based on the simulations and the analytical formulae. We argue
that uncertainties in GR or CS are unlikely to solely explain the observed
values of J3/J1.5 under high CS conditions. Thus, further work is
needed to better understand the factors influencing survival probabilities
of sub-3 nm atmospheric particles in polluted environments.

Cost of Mental Illness and Depression in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Pakistan
Authors: Sadaf Tahira , Iqbal Muhammad Amjed , Jamil Fariha , Raza Muhammad Haseeb , Nazir Adnan
Published: November 2022

Depression causes a substantial burden to persons, their beloved ones, and the nations as a whole. Major depression results in disability, high morbidity, high mortality, suicides, physical and mental impairment, and deteriorates the quality of life in a society. Depression is common in developing countries like Pakistan. This study analyzes the economic burden of depression and depressive disorders in Pakistan. The study was conducted in Pakistan’s third largest city, Faisalabad. Respondents were selected using a multistage sampling technique. As a first step, hospitals were selected from both the public and private sectors. In step two, respondents were selected and interviewed using a well-structured and pre-tested questionnaire. Review of literature reveals that the largest share of the burden of depression and depressive disorders is in the form of indirect cost. Direct healthcare cost is mostly in the form of outpatient care, doctor fee, and medicine bills, etc. This study, therefore, estimated both types of costs using cost of illness (COI) analysis. In order to find out the level of depression in patients, the center of epidemiologic studies depression (CES-D) scale was used. Then the direct and indirect cost of depression was estimated. Additionally, multiple regression analysis was used to examine the determinants of health cost, including the level of depression. The direct and indirect costs of depression were 11,108 Pakistani Rupees (PKR) and 4,869 PKR per month, respectively. Results of regression analysis revealed that besides the level of depression, monthly income, age, education, and the number of visits to a doctor’s clinic determine health cost, positively and statistically significant. Additionally, the occurrence of depression and anxiety was evident in adults more than other age groups. Females were suffering from this disorder comparatively more than male respondents. The economic burden related to depression is considerable, especially for those who belong to low-income group. Government should provide facilities for treatment for depression in public hospitals by keeping a special focus on less privileged groups of the population.

In the introduction, the object of research is indicated – thin films obtained by ion-beam spraying of targets based on pyrogenic silica micro-powders containing copper compounds. The aim of the research is to study the behavior of copper ions during the formation of thin films by ion beam sputtering of a SiO2:CuO target in an Ar/O2 mixture of gases. The main part presents the results of a study of the structural and optical properties of thin films (~ 100 nm thick) formed by ion beam spraying of targets based on pyrogenic silica micro-powders containing copper compounds. The morphology of the film surface as a whole shows integral homogeneity and in fact does not depend on the composition of the gas medium, while there is some ‘‘granularity’’ of the coating surface, which is typical for spraying porous targets consisting of agglomerates or domain structures. The obtained frequency dependences of the dielectric constant of SiO2:CuO films showed a decrease in the dielectric constant in the range of 10 kHz – 1 MHz. It was found that when the SiO2:CuO film thickness is less than 100 nm, a thin-film capacitor is not always formed. Based on the analysis of the optical parameters of film accumulation depending on the sputtering medium, it was suggested that in an inert medium a large absorption of globular spheroidal CuO is formed in the film, and copper oxide can also be reduced to Cu+ and possibly to Cuº. It is indicated by the change in ε and tgδ, as well as an increase in the optical prohibited gap of SiO2:CuO thin films from 3.91 to 3.97 eV with an increase in the oxygen content in the Ar/O2 gas mixture. The resulting films can be used as active media in solar cells, sensors and other devices.

Published: November 2022

The incidence of Early Rupture of Amniotic fluid (KPD) in Indonesia rangers from 4,5% to 7.,6% of all pregnancies, whereas in India it ranges from 6% to 12%. This number is a problem that is still not resolved, especially in developing countries. The incidence of KPD ranges from 3-18% that occurs in preterm pregnancies, whereas at term pregnancies around 8-10%, pregnant women come with the condition of the KPD, where 30-40% are preterm pregnancies at the Regional General Hospital which is the place of reference in Indonesia (Sulistyawati, 2014).

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of age and parity of maternity with the incidence of premature rupture of membranes in Raden Mattaher General Hospital of Jambi Province in 2019.

The results showed an association between age with the incidence of premature rupture of membranes in Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi Province p-value 0,009 and presence the relationship between parity and the incidence of premature rupture of membranes in Raden Mattaher General Hospital, Jambi Province, p-value 0,034. It is expected that the results of this study midwives can improve Antenatal Care services that are more qualified and able to detect risk factors in pregnant women to prevent the risk of occurrence of premature rupture of membranes such as reminding mothers of age and parity the risk of premature rupture of membranes.

Noise reduction of serrated trailing edges with implicit large eddy simulation using PyFR
Authors: Wan Zhenhua
Published: November 2022

Inspired by the silent flight ability of owls, the design of sawtooth trailing edges has been considered a promising way to control the interference noise when an incoming turbulent boundary layer passes through a sharp trailing edge. To this end, the flow and noise generation for different trailing-edge serrations are explored by the wall-resolved implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) and acoustic analogy using PyFR. It was found that the size and shape of serrations could significantly affect noise reduction in the far field. The velocity profile and the distribution of Reynolds stress components show that the serrations mainly change the flow near the trailing edge and have little effect on the upstream flow. Furthermore, correlation analysis and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) are used to confirm that destructive interference is the primary mechanism responsible for noise reduction. Since flow structures are reorganized near the TE serrations, we investigated the flow noise sources quantitatively in the near field. We found that the effect of vortex structures near the side edges of the serrations should be considered in the optimal design.
Factors in the development of refractory primary open-angle glaucoma (part 1)
Authors: Fomin N. E. , Kuroyedov A. V.
Published: November 2022

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is one of the most significant medico-social problems in the modern society. The development of its refractoriness aggravates the pathological process and inevitably leads to blindness. Despite the fact that this form accounts for up  to  80%  of all glaucoma cases, the problem of POAG refractoriness has not been considered in sufficient detail in either Russian or foreign sources. The article presents an overview of the main ophthalmic factors that contribute to changes in various structures of the eyeball and accelerate the formation of refractory forms of POAG. One of the reasons for that is a genetic predisposition to the  development of POAG.  It is worth noting that in 60% of patients with    a family history of glaucoma, the risk of developing POAG increases by 10 times (among the first-degree relatives).

Additional factors in the development of the refractory form of POAG are the reactive syndrome and during laser surgery. It is important to emphasize that the risk of development and progression of POAG in patients with     a hereditary predisposition is much higher, while indicating a number of therapeutic measures may lead to drug resistance. Genotyping is a promising scientific and practical direction of research, allowing prediction of the pharmacological response to a particular drug and individual selection of the appropriate therapy according to the patient's genotype. This approach could help prevent a number of complications and improve the accuracy of disease prognosis.

İnsana ait olan düşünme süreci; bireyin zihinsel girdilerini düzenlemesi ve belleğe aktarımında, dilsel ilişkiler kurmasında etkin bir süreçtir. Birey, düşünme edimiyle dili belirli bir dizge içerisinde kullanabilme ve zihinsel düzen kurabilme yetisini geliştirebilmektedir. Bu zihinsel düzen sonucunda insanlar, duygu ve düşüncelerini dil aracılığıyla bütünleşik olarak sunmaktadırlar. Birey; duygu ve düşüncelerini dil ile yansıtmakta, zihinsel verilerini dil sayesinde aktarmaktadır. Kişiden kişiye değişen bu aktarımlar sözcelerin farklılığı aracılığıyla sağlanmaktadır. Söz edimleri, kelimelerin sözcelenirken yerine getirilen edimlerini kullanılan cümlelerin anlamsal işlevleriyle okura yansıtır. Çocuk edebiyatı metin çözümlenmelerinde yeni dil kuramlarının uygulanması, literatüre ve araştırmacılara yeni ufuklar açmaktadır. Bu kuramlardan biri de Austin ve Searle'in Söz Edimleri Kuramı’dır. Bu çalışmada da çocuk ve dil bağlamında etkililiği yapılan araştırmalarla tespit edilen tiyatro türü inceleme materyali olarak kullanılmış ve Ayla Çınaroğlu’nun “Uzay Güzeli” isimli çocuk tiyatro oyunu söz edimleri açısından incelenmiştir. Bu araştırma, tiyatro türünün çocuklarda öğretimsel etkililiği, dil becerilerinin etkin kullanımı ve söz edimlerinin anlam çözümlemelerinin ayırt ediciliği konusunda betimsel bir analiz sunması açısından önemlidir. Austin tarafından yapılan tasnifle incelenen tiyatro metninde düzsöz edim ve edimsöz edim başlıklarında yoğun bir kullanım tespit edilmiştir.

This study examined the effects of three different drying/processing materials (sawdust, charcoal and electric oven) on the proximate composition and organoleptic properties of Parachanna obscura. Samples of P. obscura with mean weight of 283±74.80 g were procured from fish mongers at the fishermen’s landing site at Ode Ekiti, Gbonyin Local Government Area, Ekiti State, Nigeria and were transported to the laboratory of the Department of Animal and Environmental Biology, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Nigeria. In the laboratory, the fishes were cleaned, gutted, sorted, rinsed thoroughly with water, divided into three groups of five fish, soaked in 10 % brine solution for 2 min, drained and placed on wire guaze. Each group was dried for 4 hours at 60 ℃ with sawdust, charcoal and electric oven respectively. The proximate compositions were determined using standard methods while the organoleptic properties of the samples were determined by subjecting the labelled processed fish samples to sensory evaluation by a trained test panel on a five-point hedonic scale. The proximate analyses revealed that fish samples dried with sawdust and charcoal had higher scores for ash than oven dried fish in comparison with the control. The protein content of oven dried sample was higher than smoke-dried samples. The results of the organoleptic evaluation obtained revealed that there was no significant difference among the sensory parameters and concluded that electric oven could be a suitable method of fish processing without the loss of the major nutrients and sensory qualities.
