Published: December 2024

Tea undergoes intricate processing in factories, generating substantial effluents that pose significant environmental challenges. This study explored the proximate and elemental composition of tea effluents obtained from various factories to determine their potential benefits, especially in agriculture and health. The proximate composition analysis revealed significant (P<0.05) variations in ash, crude fiber, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids across samples from different factories. Notably, ash content in fluff samples from Mudete and Ogembo, and fly-off from Kionyo factories, is statistically comparable (P>0.05) but significantly higher than other samples (P<0.05). The cyclone fluff from the Kinoro factory exhibited significantly lower ash content than all other samples (P<0.05). The study further examined microelement minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus) in tea samples, showcasing significant variations. The fluff sample from the Ogembo factory showed significantly higher calcium levels than others (P<0.05), while the cyclone sample from Mogogosiek displays significantly lower calcium concentrations than other samples (P<0.05). Regarding micronutrient/trace mineral elements, the fluff sample from the Gitambo factory has significantly higher Boron concentrations than other tea samples (P<0.05). Significant differences were observed in Cobalt concentrations, with cyclone fluff samples from Chelal and Momul factories showing significantly higher levels than others (P<0.05). The concentration of heavy metals (Aluminium, Chromium, Lead) in tea effluents varies significantly among samples from different factories (P<0.05). The cyclone fluff samples from Boito and Chelal factories and fluff samples Mogogosiek factory showed significantly higher Aluminium concentrations than others (P<0.05). The cyclone fluff sample from the Kinoro factory exhibited significantly lower Aluminium levels than others (P<0.05). Therefore, future research should delve into specific processes contributing to these variations, enabling tailored strategies for sustainable waste management in the tea industry. Moreover, adopting environmentally conscious approaches, informed by a nuanced understanding of metal concentrations in tea effluents, is imperative for ensuring the long-term viability of the tea industry and safeguarding environmental health.

Consumer perceptions towards rabbit meat consumption in Daveyton and Etwatwa areas of Gauteng Province, South Africa
Authors:   University of South Africa, Lekgau JN , Mthombeni DL , Antwi MA
Published: December 2024

Consumption of rabbit meat has not penetrated the general populace as a credible substitute for chicken, beef and pork which are the most consumed meat types and widely available in the South African supermarkets. Although rabbit meat has a high nutrition content and good health benefits, it is not yet a commonly consumed meat variety in other parts of the country. This study was undertaken to identify consumers’ perceptions towards rabbit meat consumption in Daveyton and Etwatwa area, Gauteng Province of South Africa. A proportionate sampling technique was used to determine the samples for each of the two study areas to select 382 participants from a pull sampling frame of 85000 participants. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data by interviewing 382 selected participants. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 28.0, was used to analyse the data. To determine the consumer perception for rabbit meat, a 5-point Likert scale was used. Furthermore, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to analyse the relationship of the initial variables by extracting significant components. The results of the study showed that 61% of consumers agreed that they do not know where to buy rabbit meat in the study area. When comparing other meat types to rabbit meat in terms of health benefits, freshness, taste, appearance, texture and flavour, 43.6% respondents were neutral. Four PCAs were extracted to be significant and loaded positively indicating that consumers had positive perceptions towards rabbit meat and were represented by: health consciousness, rabbit meat availability, and behavioural considerations; beliefs and social acceptability; social considerations and perception on affordability, and sensory appeal. It is, therefore, recommended that support to the rabbit meat market should be informed by the determinants. The local meat market should initiate more rabbit meat sales in the study area since there is less access to rabbit meat.

Authors: Singla Naresh , Haq Faizan Ul , Saraf Sajad A. , Bhagat Vipal
Published: December 2024

Background: Due to the presence of vast green pastures and moderate climate in J and K (UT), livestock sector has assumed a lot of significance in its Agrarian economy. In this context, the study has explored production and marketing of milk in Pulwama district of J and K. Pulwama district was chosen purposely as it is famously called as ‘Anand of Kashmir’ and contributes around 24% milk in Kashmir region of J and K. Methods: Milk production and its disposal pattern by the milk producers in Kashmir was categorized into formal and informal milk marketing channels. Formal channel consisted of production, processing and retailing of milk by small producers through organized channels such as Jammu and Kashmir Milk Producers’ Cooperative Limited (JKMPCL). The informal channel comprised of milk processing through traditional vendors and other local intermediaries and or direct retailing of milk to consumers by small milk producers. A comparative analysis of 25 milk producers each in formal and informal milk marketing channels was made to understand demographic profile, costs and returns, major problems and benefits under both the channels. Result: The findings of the study have revealed that JKMPCL dairy cooperative has created a well-organized formal channel of milk procurement, processing and retailing. Young and educated milk producers’ participation was found to be more in formal channel as compared to informal channels. Milk producers in formal channel had more land and larger ownership of dairy animals. Formal channel producers received larger returns due to higher milk yield and prices than the informal channel producers though the cost of milk production was found to be higher in formal channel. The study suggested that enhancing milk procurement and processing through formal channels such as cooperatives and extending advance credit and training facilities and veterinary services through cooperatives can a play a vital role in improving farmers’ welfare in Kashmir region of India.

Authors: Yuswandi Yuswandi , Al Anshory Abdul Muntaqim , Hasaniyah Nur
Published: December 2024

The advancement of technology in the current era has led most students to prefer watching educational stories on smartphones rather than reading stories in books. This presents a challenge for educators to create technology-based educational videos. The lack of understanding of technology among educators makes learning media less engaging, which can decrease student motivation. This research aims to assist educators in utilizing animated video media to create enjoyable learning experiences for students. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, where the researcher seeks to describe the utilization of animated video media in Arabic language learning at Al Maahira International Islamic Boarding School Malang. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The data is then reduced, compiled, sorted, presented, and concluded. The results of the study indicate that animated videos can attract students' interest, helping them focus on the material taught by the teacher and making it easier to understand the content because students tend to be interested in engaging and visual images. The use of animated videos has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include making learning more interesting, increasing student motivation, and providing flexibility. The disadvantages include limited resources and the potential for student dependency. To maximize the use of animated videos, schools need to provide adequate facilities, offer training to teachers, and use animated videos in balance with other teaching methods.

EVALUATING ARABIC LANGUAGE EDUCATION BASED ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES BY HOWARD GARDNER
Authors: Husna Wardiyatul , Waro Ruhamaul , Chamidah Dewi
Published: December 2024

This research was conducted based on problems that occurred in Indonesia where the form of evaluation to find out student learning outcomes is only based on intellectual intelligence and does not include multiple intelligences as a whole. So that the resulting scores can be said to be invalid by looking at the diverse intelligence backgrounds of students. Therefore, the researcher seeks to provide an overview of the form of the question through this paper. Teachers can use the form of questions according to the diverse intelligence of students with the aim of validly measuring student learning outcomes. This research aims to develop an assessment for learning the Arabic language based on the multiple intelligences initiated by Howard Gardner. This study uses a qualitative approach with desk research type. This research consists of identifying literature sources, collecting data, analyzing data, verifying and interpreting, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that assessing Arabic language learning based on multiple intelligence should not only be done with tests, but also with non-test activities. Because the assessment in the form of tests includes only linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence, as well as visual-spatial intelligence. As for other intelligences, it is possible to conduct assessments in the form of tests other than tests. Apart from intellectual intelligence, there is also emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence. The scores resulting from the evaluation of these two intelligences are included in the evaluation of students' attitudes.

On impulse control problems arising in automatization of pests control in greenhouses
Authors: Burlakov Evgenii O. , Yarema Vitaly A.
Published: December 2024

The paper proposes a mathematical model based on a continuous dynamic system that formalizes the interaction of populations of a greenhouse agricultural insect pest and an entomophage acting as an agent of environmental control of the pest population in the framework of the concept of integrated pest management paradigm. The model parameters are identified based on experimental data obtained in laboratory conditions for the greenhouse system “cucumber — spider mite — acariphage mite”. For the proposed system, an impulse control problem that corresponds to the implementation of the pest population control using an entomophage is formulated, and the issues of the existence of solutions and their continuous dependence on control are investigated. Based on the studied control system, the issues of constructing cost-effective control strategies that allow implementing the mathematical software for automated pest control systems in greenhouses are discussed.

A Torna-patak Ajka városán át futó szakaszának halfaunisztikai és élőhelyi vizsgálata
Authors: Sály Péter , Duleba Mónika
Published: December 2024

A dolgozat adatokat közöl a Torna-patak Ajka városán keresztül futó szakaszának halfaunájáról és dokumentálja a pataki élőhely állapotát. A terepi adatgyűjtés egyszeri alkalommal, 2023 májusában történt, Ajkán belül öt, egyenként 150 m hosszú mintavételi szakaszon. A halállomány mintázását követően öt olyan élőhelyi változóról rögzítettünk adatokat, melyek befolyásolhatják a halak patakon belüli eloszlását, előfordulását. Eredményül összesen négy halfaj (Barbatula barbatula, Gobio gobio complex, Rutilus rutilus, Squalius cephalus) 13 egyede került elő. A mintavételi helyenként fogott fajszám egy és kettő között, az összegyedszám pedig egy és öt között változott. A kimutatott halfajok mind természetesen honosak voltak, köztük kettő védett faj volt, és nem találtunk fokozottan védett, közösségi jelentőségű (Natura 2000), valamint idegenhonos halfajt. Járulékos fogásként a folyami rák (Astacus astacus) és fiatal zöld békák (Pelophylax spp.) példányaival találkoztunk. A területen a Torna-patak hidrogeológiai szempontból módosított, illetve erősen módosított. A dolgozat az élőhely ökológiai, illetve halfauna szempontjából várhatóan kedvező hatású kezelésére vonatkozó javaslatokat is tárgyalja.
Splenic artery embolization for trauma: a narrative review
Authors: Roh Simon
Published: December 2024

The management of traumatic splenic injuries has evolved significantly over the past several decades, with the majority of these injuries now being treated nonoperatively. Patients who exhibit hemodynamic instability upon initial evaluation typically require surgical intervention, while the remainder are managed conservatively. Conservative treatment for traumatic splenic injuries encompasses both medical management and splenic artery angiography, followed by embolization in cases where patients exhibit clinical signs of ongoing splenic hemorrhage. Splenic artery embolization is generally divided into two categories: proximal and distal embolization. The choice of embolization technique is determined by the severity and location of the splenic injury. Patients who retain functioning splenic tissue after trauma do not routinely need immunization. This is in contrast to post-splenectomy patients, who are at increased risk for opportunistic infections.
Management of cardiac trauma and penetrating cardiac injuries with severe hemorrhagic shock: a 5-year experience
Authors: Khang Tran Thuc
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The diagnosis and management of cardiac trauma and penetrating cardiac injuries pose significant challenges in emergency settings due to the rapid onset of life-threatening complications. This paper presents a narrative review to better describe the etiology, presentation, and management of penetrating cardiac trauma, offering insights and experiences related to performing emergency surgery for such cases.Methods: We compiled cases of traumatic cardiac rupture and penetrating cardiac injuries accompanied by severe hemorrhagic shock that necessitated emergency surgery. Data were collected regarding the type of injury, causative agents, specific clinical features observed during emergency admission, intraoperative parameters, and treatment outcomes.Results: Twenty-one patients (16 men, 5 women) with cardiac rupture or penetrating cardiac injuries were recorded. All patients presented in severe shock, and six cases (28.6%) experienced cardiac arrest upon arrival in the operating room. Cardiac rupture due to blunt chest trauma occurred in two cases (9.5%), and one case (4.8%) involved right atrial perforation due to complex open chest trauma. Penetrating injuries accounted for cardiac perforation in 18 cases (85.7%). Associated injuries were present in 11 cases (52.4%). The intraoperative mortality rate was 9.5%, and there was one postoperative death on the 11th day due to multiorgan failure.Conclusions: Cardiac trauma and penetrating injuries are usually fatal unless promptly diagnosed and surgically treated. The timing and rapidity of emergency surgery—often foregoing ancillary tests and administrative procedures—are critical for patient survival. Emergency sternotomy, swift control of bleeding, and aggressive resuscitation are essential operative measures in saving lives. Factors that influence prognosis include the extent of blood loss, duration of cardiac arrest, acid-base imbalances, coagulopathy, multiorgan failure, and postoperative infections.
Liver laceration as a post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation complication in a person with breast implants: a case report
Authors: Cho Min-Jeong
Published: December 2024

Cardiac compression is the most crucial component of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, CPR procedure poses a risk of complications, even when CPR providers perform cardiac compressions as recommended. Reports indicate that solid organ injuries, including liver injuries, occur with an incidence of about 0.6% to 3%. In this particular case, a 25-year-old woman was found hanged in her apartment. She was transported to a nearby hospital where CPR was administered for approximately 30 minutes until she was resuscitated. Subsequently, an abdomen-pelvis computed tomography scan revealed a liver injury. The location of the liver injury, between the sternum and spine, suggested it was a compression injury caused by CPR. There was no evidence of extravasation or active bleeding; thus, conservative management was chosen for the liver injury. By hospital day 4, the patient's pupil reflex had completely disappeared. Electroencephalography showed generalized attenuation, indicating severe global brain damage. Liver injury is a relatively rare post-CPR complication, with an incidence of 0.6% according to a retrospective analysis of a cardiac arrest registry. The liver is partially situated between the sternum and spine. The end of the sternum is shaped like an inverted triangle, resembling a sword. Therefore, if the CPR provider's hands are placed too low or excessive pressure is applied, the sternum can injure the left liver. Blood loss from liver injuries could potentially hinder the successful resuscitation of patients. In this case, had there been no blood loss from the liver injury, the patient might have maintained better cerebral perfusion and function.

Published: December 2024

Cryptocurrencies, underpinned by blockchain technology, present significant challenges to Islamic law due to their volatile nature, speculative tendencies, and lack of intrinsic value, which introduce elements of gharar (uncertainty) and maysir (gambling), both prohibited under Sharia. Additionally, cryptocurrencies' decentralized and pseudonymous nature has raised concerns about their potential misuse in money laundering and other criminal activities, further complicating their alignment with Islamic principles. The research emphasizes the need for a multi-faceted regulatory approach, incorporating Sharia advisory boards, asset-backed cryptocurrencies, and advanced RegTech solutions such as blockchain analytics and E-KYC protocols. By fostering collaboration among scholars, regulators, and financial experts, this study aims to bridge the gap between innovative financial technologies and Islamic law, promoting ethical growth and stability in the cryptocurrency market.

This study focuses on the physical vulnerability of the young children. There was a strict lockdown in Rajshahi City, like in other districts of Bangladesh, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Schools were closed for almost two years to keep children safe. Conscious parents did not allow them to go outside. So, children were deprived of the opportunity to grow up in a free environment. This data was collected by using a mixed method, which was collected after the lockdown restrictions were lifted. Data were collected in this study from 05 April 2022 to 28 September 2022 by visiting urban residents. Mothers thought that children’s use of phones, playing video games, and watching cartoons on TV had increased at home confinement, and later, it became their habit. That hampered their eyesight. Children were more insistent and arrogant if they were not allowed to play video games. They were victims of humiliating punishment by family members. They did not go to sleep at the right time and did not follow the routine of sports, studies, and eating home-cooked food. That is the negative consequences of staying indoors. These findings will help policymakers to formulate effective policies for children in the future subsequent epidemic.

Apple vinegar is commonly made from fermented apple juice, which involves two consecutive stages of fermentation: alcoholic and acetic acid fermentation. Both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Acetobacter acetii are involved in fermentation. Apple vinegar has various benefits, such as stabilizing blood pressure, treating rheumatism, and detoxifying toxins. Excessive consumption of this product may cause damage to the esophagus, low blood potassium levels or hypokalemia, diarrhoea, and ulcers due to the high acetic acid content. Moreover, the ethanol content also needs to be determined. It should be lower than 0,5% to fulfil the halal requirements for certification. The local brands of apple vinegar in Indonesia are generally produced by small-medium enterprises (SMEs), especially in Malang, Indonesia. Commercial brands of various apple vinegar, XCJO, YSW, THT, NTF, and BST, were sampled for their ethanol and acetic acid content in one method of analysis: gas chromatography, utilizing the high volatility properties of ethanol and acetic acid. The samples contain 17.73%, 11.45%, 6.43%, 2.67%, and 1.49% v/v of acetic acid, respectively, for XCJO, YSW, THT, NTF, and BST. At the same time, the ethanolic content is 0.11 and 0.02% v/v for XCJO and YSW, respectively, which are lower than the label value informed. Meanwhile, the rest of the brands' content is 4.00%, 2.39%, and 3.21% ethanol for THT, NTF, and BST, respectively. In addition, the acetic acid content of XCJO is high. A consumer should be aware of dilution before consuming the XCJO apple vinegar. It is unnecessary in the case of YSW, THT, NTF, and BST.
