Vernonia amygdalinaas has been found to lower blood pressure, reduces body weight, andimprove fertility. However, its effects on oxidative stress imposed by opiods has yet to be determined.This research therefore aims to investigate the attenuating potentials of Vernonia Amygdalina ethanol leafextract on oxidative stress biomarkers, following the administration of graded doses of tramadol. FreshVernonia amygdalina leaf were extracted using ethanol and the extract were stored for use in theexperiment. Thirty (30) mature male Wistar rats weighing were used for study. The animals wereacclimated for seven days, divided into six groups of five animals in each group. Group 1 received 0.5 mlof normal saline. Group 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were given tramadol 30 mg/kg body weight respectively for 12weeks, however, group 6 was withdrawn after 6 weeks of tramadol administration. Group 3, 4, 5 and 6also received ethanol extract of Vernonia amgydalina at a dose of 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 1000mg/kg body weight respectively for 12 weeks. At the end of the 12 weeks treatment period, the rats wereeuthanized by cervical dislocation; blood samples were collected and centrifuged to obtain serum forbiochemical analysis. Brain, Liver, Pancreas, kidney and testes were excised for biochemical evaluation.The data obtained were analyzed by comparing the values for individual controls for different treatmentgroups and the results were expressed as mean values ± standard mean error (mean ± SEM). Using thestudent's t-test, ANOVA variance analysis, and the results were considered significant at P-values of lessthan 0.01 (P<0.01) using SPSS version 23 software, significant differences between control andexperimental groups were measured. Results show a significant increase in the activities of non-enzymicantioxidants (Vitamins C, E, and K), carotenoids antioxidants (beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, andzeaxanthin), thiol antioxidants (Glutathiones, Glutathione peroxidase, and Lipoic acid), oxidoreductaseantioxidant (Catalase), metaloenzyme in all tissues of rats given tramadol and treated with VernoniaAmygdalina ethanol leaf extract when compared with to the group 2 rats that received only tramadol.Compared to the other groups, group 4 rats likewise show a more pronounced improvement. Whencompared to group 2 rats that got only tramadol, there was a significant decrease in Malondialdehydeactivities in all tissues of rats given tramadol and treated with Vernonia Amygdalina ethanol leaf extract.Vernonia amygdalina was found to be efficacious in reducing ROS-induced tramadol-induced chronictoxicity and organ impairment in Wistar rats. It is suggested that the bioactive chemicals in Vernoniaamygdalina that function as an adjunct in the chronic therapy of organ harm caused by opioid prescriptionaddiction be identified, isolated, and employed again to validate the findings of this study.

Published: May 2023

Organic wastes constitute an important part of environmental pollution. Disposal of these wastes can be achieved either by using recycling methods or as reinforcement material. In this study, research has been carried out on the use of organic wastes in composite materials. For example, the effects of organic fillers on the physical and chemical properties of polyester composites have been investigated. Organic wastes (biomass) are prepared as fillers after drying and grinding. Especially, biomass samples with a fibrous structure improve the mechanical properties of composites. The use of such organic wastes in polyester composites is preferred for obtaining both economical and low-density materials. However, such fillers should be used in optimum proportions in the composite. Because the use of these wastes at a high rate negatively affects both the surface morphology and the pore structure of polyester composites. Besides, the evaluation of these wastes in the production of polyester composites reduces the carbon footprint. Such fillers interact physically in the polyester composite. If no chemical modification is made, it does not react with polyester components and does not make a chemical bond. According to the evaluated results, it reduces the density and hardness of the polyester composite. Also, it decreases the thermal conductivity coefficient and thermal stability, albeit slightly.

Ülkelerin önemli hedeflerinden birisi de enerji ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilmek ve dışa bağımlılıklarını en aza indirebilmektir. Bu durumda kendi fosil enerji kaynakları yetersiz olan ülkeler yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından faydalanma yoluna gitmektedir. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından birisi de güneş enerjisidir. Farklı yöntemler kullanılarak güneş enerjisinden elektrik enerjisi üretilebilir. Bu yöntemlerin arasında termoelektrik jeneratör (TEJ) de bulunmaktadır. TEJ tamamen sessiz ve hareketli bir parçası olmayan bir yapıya sahiptir. Yarı iletken malzemeden üretilen TEJ’in iki yüzeyi bulunmaktadır. Bir yüzeyine uygulanan ısı ile iki yüzey arasında meydana getirilen sıcaklık farkı ile elektriksel doğrusal gerilim meydan gelmektedir. TEJ tarafından üretilen gerilim miktarını artırmak için yüzeyler arası sıcaklık farkının arttırılması gerekmektedir. Bunun için de genellikle ısıtma uygulanmayan diğer yüzeyde soğutma işlemi uygulanır. Aktif ya da pasif olarak soğutma işlemi gerçekleştirilebilir. Bu çalışmada ısı kaynağı olarak güneş enerjisinin kullanıldığı ısı borulu bir tasarım yapılarak imal edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda bir pasif soğutucu tasarlanarak soğutucu akışkan olarak trafo yağı kullanımının referans duruma etkisi incelenmiştir. Kapalı bir ortamda güneş simülasyonu ile gerçekleştirilen deneylerde sistem 70 dakika boyunca test edilmiştir. Deneyler sonunda elde edilen verilen sonucu soğutucu akışkan olarak kullanılan trafo yağı ile üretilen açık gerilim miktarının %3 arttığı görülmüştür. TEJ’in yüzeyleri arasındaki sıcaklık farkı da trafo yağı kullanımı ile artarak 12,1oC’den 12,6oC’ye ulaşmıştır.

Developing computational thinking with microcontrollers in Education 4.0
Authors: Udvaros József , Forman Norbert , Avornicului Mihály Szilárd
Published: May 2023

Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0 are two concepts that are closely linked, as both represent a shift towards a more technologically advanced and digitally driven future. Industry 4.0 is about the integration of advanced digital technologies into manufacturing and other industrial processes, while Education 4.0 is about the integration of technology, in particular digital technologies, into the teaching and learning process. The relationship between Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0 is mutually reinforcing. Education 4.0 aims to prepare learners for the demands of the 21st century workforce by equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a rapidly changing digital environment. The development of computational thinking skills is a key component of Education 4.0, as it is a foundational skill that underpins many of the digital technologies used in industry today. Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves breaking complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts, identifying patterns and relationships, and creating algorithms to solve problems. Microcontrollers, also known as embedded systems, are small computers used to control electronic devices such as home appliances, cars and toys.  Visualisation is an important tool in teaching about microcontrollers because it helps students understand abstract concepts and see how different components fit together. Visualisation helps students to gain a deeper understanding of how microcontrollers work and how electronic devices are controlled. This understanding can be particularly valuable for students who want to pursue a career in fields such as engineering, robotics or computer science.

Published: May 2023

This paper presents a multiple linear curve fitting method for finding how the change of manipulated variables affect the final result using productivity prediction of garment employees data set. To perform fitting, a function is defined, which depends on the parameters that measures the closeness between the data and model. The simplest form of modelling is linear regression, which is the prediction of one variable from another. When the relationship between a few variables are assumed to be linear, then multiple linear regression will be used to model the relationship between a continuous response variable and continuous or categorical explanatory variables.

Abstract. Islamic economics is a science that studies human economic behavior whose behavior is regulated based on Islamic religious rules. As Muslims, it is necessary to follow economic behavior which is regulated by Islam. As has been explained in the Al-Quran or hadith about how Muslims should behave as producers, consumers, and as owners of capital. Consumer behavior is part of marketing management that deals with humans as target markets. The behavior of consumers with one another is not the same and changes every time, so consumer behavior in buying must be studied continuously, given the increasingly competitive market competition conditions. Therefore, the researcher wants to study the consumer behavior of staple and non-staple goods, namely for the staple goods of rice and sugar and for non-staple ground coffee and canned milk

Published: May 2023

Although the impact of electroacupuncture or needle acupuncture on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was previously investigated, there are no previous studies that have investigated the neuromodulatory impact of laser therapy on neurogenic acupoints in women with SUI. The aim of this study was to determine the neuromodulation mechanism of laser therapy on neurogenic acupoints in women with SUI. A prospective, randomized, controlled trial, pre, and post-experimental study was carried out. Thirty women with SUI were equally assigned into two equal groups (control and study groups). The control group received pelvic floor exercises for 6 weeks (n=15), while the study group received the same pelvic floor exercises for 6 weeks in addition to laser acupuncture on neurogenic acupoints (n=15). Before and after rehabilitation, pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) was assessed with the XFT-0010 Pelvic Muscle Trainer device, SUI severity was assessed with the Severity Index (SI) for urinary incontinence, and the impact of SUI on quality of life (QOL) was assessed with the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Comparison between the two groups after treatment showed a significant improvement in PFMS and significant reductions in scores of SI for urinary incontinence and ICIQ-SF (p<0.05). The neuromodulatory impact of laser application on neurogenic acupoints significantly increases the strength of pelvic floor muscles and significantly decreases the incontinence level and its impact on QOL in women with SUI.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of the present study was to explore the effectiveness of online teaching in Physical Education during COVID-19 school closures and to explore the thoughts and emotions evoked by COVID-19 pandemic in the physical education teachers while striving to instruct physical education virtually. This study was conducted by comparing and analyzing the variables responsible for influencing the pedagogical profession of physical education (PE) throughout Kuwait. In the present study, 60 physical education teachers of Kuwait were recruited, representing Al-Asimah school district, Hawalli school district, Al Farwaniyah school district, Al Jahra school district, Mubarak Al-Kabeer school district, and Al Ahmadi school district. Qualitative method was used for data collection in the form of specialized online surveys, as well as online focus group discussions. Statistical analysis was done using a descriptive statistical assessment and a continuous comparison approach. The findings of the present study revealed that educators comprehend that teaching PE must be done face-to-face to become meaningful, as there are multiple flaws in online instructional framework. An internet instructional approach increases the likelihood of occupational pressure and discontentment with the career path. The findings of this study may be utilized to spark a critical conversation about the challenges that PE instructors confront when teaching PE online.

The study purpose was to analyze the passing distance of professional futsal players in the Indonesia Pro Futsal League. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the final match of the 2021 Indonesia Pro Futsal League. All players except the goalkeeper were analyzed. We measured the distance of the passes made. Movie Maker software was used for cutting videos of every passing movement and Kinovea software was used for passing distance analysis. This study stated that in maintaining the ball possession, entering the opponent’s defense, and trying to score goals, players can perform various types of passes such as short, medium, and long passes. The results showed that the average passing distance was 3.58 meters for the short pass, 7.46 meters for the medium pass, and 14.47 meters for the long pass. This futsal passing distance analysis can be used as a basis for passing mastery exercises. Therefore, the coach can plan passing training programs with specific distances and maximize the passing accuracy of the players.

This research aims to compare swings, ball impacts, and ball velocities of instep kick between male and female players. The research used comparative design method, in which two groups of males and females were compared. This research used eight Indonesian football players as sample: four males and four females. The instrument used for data collection in this research is football long pass test. Video documentation was taken with high-speed camera unit with 1000 fps ability. The data collected were then analyzed through Kinovea, in which swing angles, foot angular velocities, ball impact times, ball velocities, and resulting ball distances were calculated. Non-parametric Mann-Whitney test were used to compare each instep kick of male and female players. Results show that no difference on instep long pass swing and ball impact between male and female players was observed. On average, male players performed instep kicking with kicking foot knee flexion angle of 104.750, hip angle of 77.250, kicking foot knee extension angle of 1580, kicking foot steepness angle of 58.250, average power of 209.38 J/s (watt), and average kicking foot angular velocity of 0.11 rad/s, which resulted in average ball impact of 10.27 Ns that caused average post-impact ball velocity of 22.83 m/s and average ball distance of 26.63 meters. Meanwhile, female players performed instep kicking with kicking foot knee flexion angle of 930, hip angle of 74.250, kicking foot knee extension angle of 1480, kicking foot steepness angle of 56.250, average power of 237.28 J/s (watt), and average kicking foot angular velocity of 0.11 rad/s which resulted in average ball impact of 10.32 Ns that caused average post-impact ball velocity of 22.94 m/s and average ball distance of 26.87 meters. The results show that the average ball distance of male players was closer to 25-meter target than those of female players. In order to achieve 25-meter kicking accuracy, female players contributed greater power and steeper kicking foot angle than their male counterparts. In conclusion, to master instep kicking technique, female players need to pay attention to their power and body position during kicking.
