Authors: Messakh Jacob 
Published: March 2021

In the midst of the dynamics of intolerance that has penetrated the world of education in Jakarta, especially in the aftermath of the 2017 Jakarta Election, education for all and the ideals of independence attributed to the National Education System Law became a research concern. The focus is on Christian Religious Education Teachers (PAK) who are religious-based educators (religious). The deepening of Master's competence (PAK) is based on 1 Peter by providing background biblical texts as the basis of its epistemology. As a data collection instrument using a questionnaire to a number of 50 PAK Teacher respondents representing 5 regions namely: Central Jakarta, North Jakarta, Jakarta, South, West Jakarta and East Jakarta. The test uses a correlation regression test for each item questionnaire with five answer choices (Likert scale). The results show that there is a positive (unidirectional) relationship between the Competency variables as PAK Teachers and the identity variable as servants of God. With a correlation value of 0.715, it is shown that the correlation between PAK Teacher competency variables with self-identity as a servant of God is not only positive (unidirectional) but also included in the strong category.

Published: March 2021

This study aims to identify the context in which PAK for children can be taught exactly where the child lives, grows, and mingles in their environment. The context referred to is the Christian Church in Luwuk Banggai (GKLB), specifically in the Imanuel Laonggo congregation. Knowing the context well will be very helpful in the hope of appropriate learning. The teaching of PAK for children refers to the teaching model of Jesus, and this has become the basis for the form of PAK Children's learning throughout the ages and places. If Jesus' teaching model was a text, it needed context. A text that touches the context will give birth to a living faith. Therefore, it is very important to design a children's PAK learning model in their respective contexts. What has been done through this research has actually stimulated the church institutionally to think and implement the contextual PAK learning mechanism for children through its ministry programs. This really helps children as the future church and the church in the future to grow and bear fruit for Christ in their context.

Kappa-casein as a mammalian milk protein is involved in a several important physiological processes and it’s about 80% of the total protein in cow milk. This study aimed at genotyping bovine Kappa casein (CSN3) in two indigenous Nigerian cattle populations and to determine the frequency distribution of Kappa casein variants as detected across the animals examined and their association with the body measurement. DNA was extracted from 100 blood samples of 50 White Fulani and 50 N’dama cattle for identification and genotyping of kappa-casein gene by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) test using HindIII restriction endonucleases. The PCR products of the specific primer K-F and K-R for the two cattle breeds give 530bp specific band. Digestion of 530bp amplified products of White Fulani and N’dama by restriction endonuclease HindIII generated three fragments of 530-, 370- and 160- bp each for the two breeds. Results of the cuts with this enzyme show the presence of genotypes AA, AB and BB in the samples. These findings suggest that BB genotype could be selected for increase body conformation and protein content of milk.

Published: March 2021

This study was carried out to determine the frequency and antibiotic susceptibility profile of bacterial agents associated with diabetic patients attending out-patients Department in Plateau Specialist Hospital Jos. Wound swabs and pus were collected from the wounds of 251 out-patients’ department (OPD) over a 14 months’ period. Subjects were recruited upon approval by the Ethical Research Committee of the UCTH and after obtaining written or oral informed consent from the subject. Samples were cultured and microbial isolates identified using standard microbiology methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out on the bacterial isolates. Six bacterial isolates were identified from wounds of diabetic patients viz: Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The most frequently encountered bacterial pathogen of wound infection among subjects was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.67%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (23.33%) while the lowest was Klebsiella pneumonia (6.67%). The antibiotic susceptibility profile of the bacterial isolates to commonly used antibiotics ranged between 0.0% to 100%. The flouroquinolones were the most active antimicrobial agents observed among bacterial isolates from diabetic out-patients studied. S. aureus [7(100%) and 6(85.7%)] was the highest susceptible bacteria followed by P. aeruginosa [7(87.5%) and 5(62.5%)], E. coli 6(100%) against Ciprofloxacin (10%) and Augmentin (30%) respectively. Meanwhile, K. pneumonia and S. pneumonia were not susceptible each (0.0%) against Doxycycline and Chloramphenicol at 10% and 30% concentrations respectively. The study showed a high index of wound contamination with bacteria pathogens and resistance pattern to standard and commonly used antibacterial agents among diabetic out-patient from the study area.

RELATIONSHIP OF EL NINO/SOUTHERN OSCILLATION TO RAINFALL PATTERNS IN NIGERIA
Authors: Oladejo K. M. 
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the relationship between El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and rainfall patterns in Nigeria. Annual rainfall totals, growing season rainfall totals and annual raindays of 27 Nigerian meteorological stations with varying lengths of records from 1903 to 2012 were collected from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). Monthly Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) anomalies data over Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) were obtained from Climatic Prediction Centre (CPC). Kendall tau statistics and Step-Wise Multiple Regression model were used for data analyses. Results from this study showed that annual rainfall totals, growing season rainfall and annual raindays series exhibited a significant downward trend at most of the stations over the period of the study. It was observed that annual rainfall pattern changed from a positive pattern within 1931- 1960 period to a negative pattern within 1961-1990 period and then, to a positive pattern within 1991-2012 period. It was concluded that he alternating wet and dry patterns in inter-annual rainfall fluctuations and by extension, the droughts and floods over Nigeria within the study period, were caused by sea surface temperature anomalies over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The paper therefore concludes that SSTs should be integrated in the seasonal rainfall prediction models in Nigeria for an improved forecast.

HISTOPATHOLOGY STUDIES OF SELECTED ORGANS OF Hemichromis fasciatus INHABITING IGUN GOLD MINING AND OPA RESERVOIRS, OSUN STATE, NIGERIA: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: Obayemi O. E. , Komolafe O. O. 
Published: March 2021

This study examined the histopathological alterations in the gills, fillet and liver of Hemichromis fasciatus in Igun reservoir (located in an abandoned goldmine area) compared to those of Opa reservoir. Life fish species were collected from Opa and Igun reservoirs and identified in the laboratory. Techniques based on histological analyses were done on the organs and photomicrographs taken using digital binocular compound LED microscope. Epithelial lifting and hypertrophy of lamellae were observed in the gills of H. fasciatus in Opa reservoir and compared to rupture of gill epithelium, rupture of chloride cell, fusion, hyperplasia, curling of lamellae in H. fasciatus of Igun reservoir. The fillet of H. fasciatusin Opa and Igun reservoirs revealed splitting and atrophy of muscle bundles. Also, parasite cyst and necrosis were observed in the fillet of H. fasciatus of Igun reservoir compared to degeneration in muscle bundles in the fish of Opa reservoir. Similarly, the liver of H. fasciatus in Igun and Opa reservoirs showed splitting at the wall of central vein, hepatopancreas and liver cells degeneration. Moreover, nucleus hypertrophy was also identified in the liver of H. fasciatus in Opa reservoir compared to vascular congestion in the central vein, bile duct, portal vein and portal artery of H. fasciatus in Igun reservoir. The study therefore concluded that H. fasciatus specimens in Igun reservoir were histopathologically unhealthy as compared with those of Opa reservoir probably due to the high level of pollution resulting in bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Igun reservoir samples.

Authors: Kambai C. , Olatunji R. O. , Francis M. J. 
Published: March 2021

This study investigated the compost quality of sericulture waste on the growth of Anogeissus leiocarpus using two composting methods. The two-method adopted were M1 (pile method) and M2 (bin method). Sericulture waste which includes mulberry leaves and silkworm excreta were air dried for 24hours, measured (1 kg) and set in layers for both methods adopted. Samples of compost from each method were taken before planting to the laboratory for proximate analysis. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data obtained. Anogeissus leiocarpus seeds were soaked for 10 minutes at 35oC and at 9.5oC for 24 hours to enhance the breaking of its dormancy. Anogeissus leiocarpus seeds was planted using sericulture compost from both adopted methods. Result shows that M1 had the highest mineral composition. M1 recorded the highest (N %) with the value of 0.93%; (P %) with 0.089%; (K %) with 0.58%; (Ca %) with the value of 1.78% and (Mg %) with the value of 0.72% while M2 had a lower mineral composition. The result obtained for the early growth parameters shows that M1 had a higher plant height and stem girth which was significantly different from M2, the mixture of the two compost had the highest leaf count which was also significant while the control recorded the lowest value for all the parameters assessed. This result suggests that pile composting method is the best method for composting sericulture waste and can be used as a good and preferable alternative for inorganic manure in raising seedlings and trees species. Adopting the use of sericulture waste as compost will help in reducing the waste management problem, enhance economic use of farm waste and also help to ease the low germination rate and germination percentage of Anogeissus leiocarpus.

Authors: Orjiewulu J. C. , Chukwuemeka D. C. , Jesusblessing C. E. , Ibrahim A. 
Published: March 2021

Unreliability and interruptions facing power supply are evidence of the excessive heat generated in power systems, as a result of the inefficiency of oil cooling medium employed in distribution transformers. The design and implementation of a prototype automatic temperature control system is to be employed as a method towards solving the above stated problem of excessive temperature rise in distribution transformers. The prototype design consists of a PIC microcontroller programmed in C language, an LM35 temperature sensor, an electric fan and other diverse electronic component. It operates a mechanism that detects temperature rise in the transformer and automatically turns on the cooling fan at extreme temperature conditions. A 16x2 LCD is employed as the medium for temperature display unit of the transformer. The resulting prototype functions in a way that it has the ability to detect every 1ºC rise and reduction in the temperature of the transformer. Thus, at extreme temperature conditions, the automatic temperature control system diminishes the excessive heat generated in the transformer to the appropriate working temperature condition.

Authors: Abdullahi I. 
Published: March 2021

Insurgencies and other security challenges have caused significant setbacks for sustainable development in Kaduna state. This study assesses the role of the Kaduna state government in managing the security challenges within the state. In this study, significant factors that affects the management of security and its challenges as well as the disposing conditions were critically analyzed. The objective of the study was to examine the managerial effort of the government in tackling security challenges in Kaduna state being critical in the daily running of the state and proposed appropriate measures that could help improve the current situation. Relevant data for this study were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The study employed the exploratory research method. Indigenes of Kaduna state from different LGAs comprised the study population out of which 100 questionnaires were administered serving as sample size. The study employed descriptive statistical instruments such as frequencies and percentages in analyzing the obtained data. The study showed that majority (51.3%) of the respondents indicated that the government is the most active agent in the fight against insecurity in the state with little corroboration from other agencies. Lack of finance was observed to be the major challenge in the fight against insecurity in the state. Though, most of the state’s managerial strategies were credible, yet laudable to some extent. It was however observed that the little corroboration from other agencies such as NGOs, civil societies, traditional rulers and other security agencies played a significant role. The study therefore, recommends that a more inclusive decision-making approach between the state and other agencies be promoted to ensure cross sectional development and fight against insurgencies in the state.

Authors: Tiecker Ana Paula , Aguirre Francielle Bonett , Machado Júlia De Freitas , Bós Ângelo José Gonçalves 
Published: March 2021

Introdução: A atividade física está relacionada à manutenção do bem estar físico e psicológico, cuja relação é pouco estudada em nonagenários e centenários. A Covid19 provocou um isolamento social que pode estar relacionado ao aumento de sintomas depressivos e diminuição da atividade física principalmente em nonagenários e centenários. Objetivo: Observar as possíveis mudanças na atividade física e sintomas depressivos durante a COVID19 em nonagenários e centenários. Metodologia: Estudo transversal e analítico com nonagenários e centenários participantes do projeto Atenção Multiprofissional ao Longevo (AMPAL) avaliados por telefone usando um instrumento multidimensional, que incluiu a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (GDS) e a prática de atividade física, com o objetivo de verificar possíveis mudanças no comportamento antes e depois de 17/03/2020 (primeiro decreto municipal relacionado ao COVID19). As entrevistas foram feitas entre abril e agosto/2020. Resultados: Participaram 59 nonagenários e centenários com idade de 95,6±3,79 anos, 76% mulheres. Durante a COVID19, 39% dos participantes diminuíram a prática de atividade física e 15,2% apresentou piora do GDS. Os participantes que responderam não praticar atividade física 51% apresentou nível de GDS indicativo de depressão. Conclusão: Observamos que a diminuição da prática de atividade física foi mais frequente do que a piora dos sintomas depressivos. Concluímos que a COVID19 está causando uma diminuição na prática da atividade física de forma mais precoce em nonagenários e centenários. Parece haver uma latência entre a diminuição da atividade física e o aumento dos sintomas depressivos a ser confirmada.
