The elderly population of the world is growing fast. The aging phenomenon causes changes in the body’s systems, leading to mental and emotional disorders. Dementia is established as one of the most important challenges associated with the aging process. In this respect, the Montessori-based cognitive rehabilitation program is an increasingly popular choice in dementia care. Therefore, we decided to conduct a review study on the effect of Montessori therapy on different psychological aspects of the elderly with dementia. This narrative review was performed using narrative synthesis. An extensive literature search was performed in databases of ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ISI Web of Knowledge using OR, AND, and NOT operators and the selected keywords. Only studies published in journals between March 2010 and March 2022 were used for this purpose. The articles chosen in this study were those that have studied the effect of a Montessori-based cognitive rehabilitation program on the elderly with dementia. Studies that involved the Montessori program on other neurological disorders were excluded. Finally, 32 articles were selected from the final evaluation. It can be concluded that the Montessori program effectively reduces anxiety, destructive behavior, and agitation, increases pleasure, hope, optimism, job satisfaction, social skills, and cognitive function, and improves the quality of life and feeding capacity.
Familial and Educational Attitudes towards Children with Special Needs in China and Thailand
Authors: She Lina , Yao Jing
Published: September 2022

Attitudes towards children with special needs vary around the world and may vary in different parts of the same country. For most Buddhist Thais, the birth of such a child indicates sins committed in the past and karmic consequences. For those of Sino-Thai lineage, such a child may indicate good fortune to come. Meanwhile, in China, many parents will refuse to accept a clinical diagnosis and will return to consult doctors numerous times in the hope of obtaining a second opinion. They may refuse to acknowledge the situation until the child is seven years old and able, therefore, to be admitted to a school specializing in treating children with special needs. Across Thailand, teachers have comparatively high social status and a greater proportion of the national budget is spent on education than in China (although there remain significant problems in the Thai education system). Spending on education for children with special needs is also lower in China and the Chinese system requires teachers to advance through knowledge acquisition, which means few teachers are able or willing to teach children with special needs. By contrast, the Thai system attempts to imbue teachers with an awareness of ethics and encourages a loving relationship between teachers and children and inculcate cooperation among students. This paper is based on qualitative research in both countries concerning the treatment of children with special needs and the production of teachers to help teach them. Insights are drawn and some initial policy recommendations made.

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is often used as a vegetable and has many benefits, as it contains bioactive compounds beneficial to health and acts as a source of nutrition. This research aimed to determine the phytochemical content, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity in the ethanolic extract of green okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) fruit obtained from a traditional market in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research included four stages: sampling; sample preparation (the making of simplicia); extraction using the maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent; concentration of the extract using a rotary evaporator, followed by qualitative tests on the content of phenolics, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, and steroids using reagents as per the test parameters. Determination of the total phenolic content was carried out through the Folin-Ciocalteu solution method using standard UV-visible spectrophotometry for gallic acid at a wavelength of 765 nm. Antioxidant activity was tested by employing the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) trapping method, which was measured using a UV-visible spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 515 nm. The results of the phytochemical screening of the okra fruit showed that the ethanolic extract of the fruit contained phenolic compounds, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids and had a total phenolic value of 13,456 ppm. The ethanol extract of okra fruit has weak antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 157.071 mg/mL. This showed that green okra fruit can be used as a basic ingredient for biodiversity-based medicines.

Authors: Giraldo Irma María García , Pineda Henry Reyes , Lobo Eduardo Alexis
Published: September 2022

The wastewater produced by tanneries has many recalcitrant and toxic organic pollutants that do not meet the current environmental standard and are very dangerous for humans and biota. Therefore, there is an urgent challenge in developing robust oxidation processes guaranteeing their organic elimination to preserve water quality. Fenton and photo-Fenton techniques, which are part of advanced oxidation processes, are currently very innovative and effective for the decontamination of polluting organic agents and recalcitrant compounds in industrial wastewater. In this context, this research aimed to apply the reagents Fenton (Fe+2/H2O2) and photo-Fenton (Fe+2/H2O2 + uv) in contaminated waters from tanneries in the Department of Quindío, Colombia. For this, solutions of 1L of raw water extracted from the tanneries were prepared by adjusting the pH to 4.0. Then, Fenton’s reagent was added and stirred for 2 hours at 150 rpm. Later these same solutions were exposed to ultraviolet light at 269 nm for 2 hours to perform the photo-Fenton process. The results indicated that better decontamination of these effluents was obtained with the photo-Fenton process, although the differences between the two reagents were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). However, we found a decrease in water turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), and color, in a higher percentage with photo-Fenton (92%), which makes these techniques sustainable to improve the environment and the quality of life of people who live around these industries. In addition, the advanced oxidation processes are very economical when implemented since, in the photo-Fenton case, solar energy, a type of renewable energy, is used. It should also be noted that they are very efficient techniques when removing organic contaminants for the tannery industries since these have been reported as one of the most polluting industries in the world. Therefore, these processes are recommended for the effective decontamination of organic residues in the effluents produced by the tanning processes.

Published: September 2022

Currently, no effective medication is available to treat diabetes despite this disease is a serious health problem. As part of our project to explore Indonesian medicinal plants for antidiabetic agents, this study aimed to investigate the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of Melastoma malabathricum leaves extracts. Spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Antioxidant activity was performed using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods. The in vitro antidiabetic test was conducted through an inhibitory evaluation of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, while STZ-induced diabetic rats were used for in vivo study. The highest value of total phenolic (183.71 ± 0.11 mg GAE/g Extract) was recorded in the methanolic extract and flavonoid (24.10 ± 0.04 mg QE/g Extract) contents were recorded in the EtOAc extract. The methanolic extract has the highest DPPH and ABTS activities with IC50 values of 8.58 ± 0.03 and 4.59 ± 0.03 μg/mL, respectively. It also showed the highest FRAP activity with a 51.15 ± 0.10 µM Fe2+/g. In vitro antidiabetic testing of the methanolic extract of leaves against α-glucosidase and α-amylase was reported for the first time. This novel result showed that the methanolic extract inhibited α-glucosidase and α-amylase with IC50 values of 75.25±1.60 and 52.38±1.32 μg/mL, respectively. A dose of 200 mg/Kg body weight of the methanolic extract reduced rats’ blood glucose rate and serum blood glucose by 51.01% and 37.82%, respectively, after 15 days of treatments. These findings suggested that the methanolic extract of M. malabathricum leaves can be used as a potential source of antioxidant and antidiabetic agents.

Published: September 2022

Nonlinear differential equations extensively used mathematical models for many interesting and important phenomena observed in numerous areas of science and technology. They are inspired by problems in diverse fields such as economics, biology, fluid dynamics, physics, differential geometry, engineering, control theory, materials science, and quantum mechanics. This special issue aims to highlight recent developments in methods and applications of nonlinear differential equations. In addition, there are papers analyzing equations that arise in engineering, classical and fluid mechanics, and finance. In this paper, we present a new numerical approach, which is concerned with the solutions of Nonlinear Differential Equations determined by a new approximation system based on inverse Laplace transforms using Chebyshev polynomials functional matrix of integration. The obtained solutions are novel, and previous literature lacks such derivations. The reliability and accuracy of our approach were shown by comparing our derived solutions with solutions obtained by other existing methods. The efficiency of the proposed numerical technique is exhibited through graphical illustrations and results drafted in tabular form for specific values of the parameters to validate the numerical investigation. The system capability is clarified through several standard nonlinear differential equations: Duffing, Van der Pol, Blasius, and Haul. The numerical results illustrate that the estimated result is in good agreement with exact or numerical styles available in literature whenever the exact results are unknown. Errors estimation to the corresponding numerical scheme also is carried out.

En el 150.º aniversario de la insurrección prorrepublicana del arsenal de Ferrol de octubre 1872
Authors: Manuel Rolandi Sánchez-Solís
Published: September 2022

Durante una semana, entre el 11 y el 17 de octubre de 1872, el arsenal de Ferrol fue ocupado por un grupo armado de republicanos radicales (del denominado «grupo intransigente»), que proclamaron en su interior la república federal, se apoderaron de varias unidades navales y detuvieron incluso al capitán general del departamento y al comandante general del arsenal. La sublevación fue rápidamente controlada por las fuerzas del último gobierno de la monarquía de Amadeo de Saboya, pero sería la antesala de posteriores sublevaciones de los republicanos en los siguientes meses, entre otras, de la de noviembre de ese mismo año y de la posterior «sublevación cantonal» del
verano de 1873. El artículo describe los antecedentes y principales acontecimientos de esta sublevación armada de octubre de 1872, así como sus repercusiones y consecuencias.

Published: September 2022

The quality of results obtained by Statistics students of Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba in their first semester 100 level examination has been called into question owing to their poor performances in some courses they offered. Considering the pivotal role of students’ early academic achievement in determining the overall success of their university education, university educators must gain insight into how various courses influence students’ main indicator of academic success which is the grade point average (GPA). This empirical study examined how the various courses offered by 100-level students of statistics in the aforementioned university influence students’ academic performance at the end of the first year using the Binary logistic regression model. The study comprises nine eight (98) students. Negrerke R2 test shows that 84.2% variation in the log odd ratio was explained by the fitted model. Also, 63.7% explained variation from Cox and Snell R test, the Hosmer and Lemeshow test and the classification results further confirmed the model is robust enough for such a study. Five courses namely MAT 101, PHY 101, STA 111, CHM 101 and BIO 101 were identified to have significantly influenced students’ early academic achievement. One of the recommendations made is that an extra learning period for each of these courses should be added to the school lecture timetable to enable students to grasp the understanding of basic concepts of these courses

Published: September 2022

Dietary exposure to toxic metals has been identified as a risk to human health due to large amounts of these metals disposed of in the environment either as industrial waste or other sources due to human activities. In this study, three species of fishes (Tilapia zilli, Clarias lazera and Barbus lagoensis) were obtained, air-dried, milled and digested. The digested samples were analyzed for cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of the analysis showed that the concentration of cadmium in Tilapia zilli (0.0088mg/kg) and Barbus lagoensis (0.5134mg/kg) were higher than the maximum permissible level (0.003mg/kg) of cadmium in food and water. Similarly, chromium concentration in Barbus lagoensis (0.069mg/kg) was higher than the permissible level (0.05mg/kg). Also, concentrations of lead in Clarias lazera (0.019mg/kg) and Barbus lagoensis (0.0739mg/kg) were above the maximum permissible level (0.01mg/kg) in food and water as recommended by the standard organization of Nigeria. The findings also revealed that mercury concentration in Tilapia zilli (0.0058mg/kg) was high and above the maximum permissible level (0.001mg/kg) stated in SON regulations. This study confirms the increased danger of consuming fish that is contaminated with these heavy metals, and if it is allowed to continue, long-term exposure may lead to kidney failure and other diseases associated with these heavy metals. Proper monitoring and enforcement by regulatory agencies are required.

Published: September 2022

A blending of different non-edible vegetable oils (Neem and Avocado) with synthetic oil (SAE 20W50) that is commercially available has attracted several studies towards making it sustainable, biodegradable, and environmentally suitable for mineral oil for lubricant production. The physicochemical, thermo-oxidative stability and corrosion properties of Nigerian degraded engine oil (Society of Automotive Engineers SAE 20W50) were studied using mixing ratios of 40/60, 50/50, and 60/40 blends of neem/degrade engine oil and Avocado/degraded engine oil respectively. The study revealed specific gravity values of 0.893, 0.897, 0.901 for neem/degraded engine oil and 0.893, 0.897, 0.901 for avocado/degraded engine oil which fall within SAE standard of 0.901. pH values for neem/degraded engine oil were: 5.83, 5.85, 5.62 and 5.59, 5.49, and 5.71 for avocado/degraded engine oil indicating acidic compared to (SAE 20W50) of 7.12. The viscosity of neem/degraded engine oil and avocado/degraded engine oil was found to be lower compared to the SAE 20W50. The Neem and Avocado oil each has a promising effect on the physicochemical properties of the SAE 20W50 blend.
Foundations of Quantum Computing: II. The Many Faces of ‎Quantum Uncertainty
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank Of New York, USA‎, Syrkin ‎ Mark
Published: September 2022

In this Part II we focus on a few key elements of quantum mechanics essential for understanding of quantum technologies ‎and computing. We begin with a subtle but important similarity between classical and quantum mechanics which is typically ‎overlooked in favor of apparent differences. Further, it is reminded that classical motion can be obtained via averaging ‎over quantum distributions/wave functions and, conversely, quantum distributions can be recast as a superposition of virtual ‎classical paths. Relatedly, we emphasize the importance of the case intermediate between classical and quantum mechanics – ‎that is, quasi-classical mechanics. The above background facilitates additional insights and heuristics into the mechanisms of ‎widely acclaimed long-distance correlations in quantum mechanics and the origins of the coherency in quantum ensembles in the ‎context of wave-particle duality. ‎

The vector analysis ‎enables the unipolar induction and the Navier-Stokes equations to be related physically and mathematically since both ‎formulations are mathematically equivalent. Since the unipolar induction has proven itself in practice, it can be used as a ‎reference for describing the Navier-Stokes equations‎.
Ramifications of Nanotechnology on Common Human Disorders
Authors: Munjar Vania
Published: September 2022

This review article will go over the ramification of nanotechnology or more specifically nanomedicine and nanoparticles on human disorders. Nanotechnology is a broad field and can cover many aspects but this article’s capability is limited and will mainly go over the potential advantages and disadvantages of this upcoming piece of technology. The article attempts to put nanoparticles into perspective by offering simple ratios. It then goes on to talk about the varied types of applications of nanotechnology in fields in and outside of medicine. The article explains the two main types of targeted drug delivery systems: systemic system and pulmonary delivery and then dives deep into the specific effects of nanotechnology on a few particular human disorders like tuberculosis and more. The effects range from reduction of toxicity and minimal side effects to negative impacts on the environment and DNA exposure. We then wrap up this study by looking at prospective gaps in the field like unknown surface properties and social, economic, and legal concerns. This study is designed to give one a deeper overview of the varied range of effects that nanotechnology not only has on the human body but also on areas outside the human body. Furthermore, this study is in no way meant to impersonate someone else’s work nor convince a person to act in a certain way.

Published: September 2022

Soap and alcohol or alcohol-based cleansers have been used as hand disinfectants and routine hand washing material for a long time. With the COVID-19 being pandemic, there is an increase in the routine use of soap and sanitizers. No doubt washing hands for 20 seconds with proper technique and proper soap could kill the Coronavirus but the effect of regular use of soap on the skin is not addressed by the general public. It has been shown by the in vitro as well as in vivo studies that the frequent use of soap and detergents may harm the skin. The harsh surfactants in cleansers can damage skin proteins and lipids and can cause dryness, irritation, barrier damage, and itching problems. Furthermore, the use of soap can change the natural pH and deplete the natural flora of the skin giving the pathogen an opportunity to transiently colonize the skin surface. This paper explains the damages that may be caused to skin due to excessive use of soap and detergents, the ways to mitigate those damages, and potential alternative to detergent-based soaps.
Stabilization and Solidification: A solution to the excessive pollution released by The INEOS Neville Plant
Authors: Munjar Vania
Published: September 2022

The INEOS Neville Plant is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is known for manufacturing olefins and polypropylene. Since it is a manufacturing plant producing many kinds of wastes including chemical spills and toxic waste. The amount of pollutants released into the nearby Ohio river is harmful to the aquatic environment. Incorrect disposal of toxic waste is one of the most significant causes of the numerous types of pollutants resulting from this plant. Correct disposal of toxic waste includes dumping all this waste into a landfill which protects groundwater and surface water. Such disposal is recommended by the EPA and based on the prediction the SWSS could be a viable solution. Solidification and Stabilization refer to a method of cleanup that slows the release of chemicals from waste in this case which may include ammonia and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen. Based on all these factors, our prediction is that this manufacturing issue of environmental pollution will not come to a fix, even with the wastewater treatment plant nearby.
Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanomaterial
Authors: Jain Roli
Published: September 2022

An emerging subfield within the science of nanotechnology is the green production of nanoparticles by the use of biological systems, particularly plant extracts. Due to the various features that it possesses, zinc oxide is of great relevance to a wide variety of sectors. These properties have been further improved by the manufacturing of this material at the nanoscale. Despite this, there has been a rise in concern over the influence that it has on the environment, which has resulted in the creation of manufacturing methods that are favorable to the environment. There has been a recent uptick in interest, as reported in the scientific literature, in producing metal and metal oxide nanoparticles by the use of biological methods. Because it is a less dangerous procedure than chemical and physical synthesis methods, which are currently employed in the industry to create these nanomaterials, this approach was given the name "green synthesis." The extraction of coffee leaves is used as a reducing agent to maintain the stability of the particle length. In terms of its medicinal potential, the results indicated that it had a significant antibacterial effect against the pathogenic kind of bacteria that developed on the wound. The current study focuses on the environmentally friendly manufacture of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as well as their application in the process of toxicity reduction. It is likely that the use of ZnO nanoparticles as antibacterial agents will be their most important use. Because of their increased surface area and decreased size, these particles are an excellent candidate for use as an antibacterial agent. This article provides an overview of the environmentally friendly production of ZnO nanoparticles as well as the antibacterial properties of these particles. In addition to this, the activity's mechanism was analysed as well. Also featured was the environmentally friendly production of ZnO nanoparticles from Azadirachta indica, Aloe vera, Murraya koenigii, and Anisochilus carnosus.
