Forecasting of Kharif Cereal Production in Odisha by Using Spline Regression Technique
Authors: Basanaik Harsha S. , Dash Abhiram 
Published: November 2021

Cereals are prime determinant of agricultural status of the state mainly during kharif season. Forecasting of the production of kharif cereals is of utmost importance to formulate the agricultural policy and strategy of the state. The ARIMA model can be reliably used to forecast for short future periods because uncertainty in prediction increases when done for longer future periods. The predictions obtained from the ordinary regression model are valid only when the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable does not change significantly in the future period which can be rarely assumed. It is expected that the spline regression will overcome the respective discrepancies in both ARIMA and ordinary regression techniques of forecasting with the assumption that the future period which needs forecasting follows the same pattern as the last partitioned period.
The entire period of data is split into different periods based on the scatter plot of the data The suitable regression models, such as, linear, compound, logarithmic and power model are fitted to the data on area and yield of kharif cereals by using the training set data. Selection of best fit model is done on the basis of overall significance of the model, model diagnostic test for error assumptions and model fit statistics. The selected best fit model is then cross validated with the testing set data. After successful cross validation of the selected best fit models, they are used for forecasting of the future values for their respective variables.
The models found to be best fit and thus selected for cross validation purpose are compound spline model for both area and yield of kharif cereals respectively. Forecasting of area, yield and hence production of kharif cereals for six years ahead i.e., for the year 2020-21 to 2025-26 by using the selected best fit model after successful cross validation. The forecast values for production of kharif cereals are found to decrease despite increase in forecast values of yield which is due to decrease in forecast value of area.

Published: November 2021

Soil Transmitted Helminths and Plasmodium infections are ubiquitous with morbidity and mortality within the tropical and subtropical regions. However, the extent and consequences of STH-Plasmodium co-infection at different spatial scales are poorly understood. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of Soil Transmitted Helminths and Plasmodium coinfection, and, the impact thereof among school children in Bugesera District of Eastern Rwanda.
Study Design: Cross Sectional Survey
Place and Duration of Study: The survey was conducted in Bugesera district, Eastern Rwanda, between May and December 2020.
Methodology: The survey was conducted among children between ages 5 and 18 years, across 21 randomly selected primary schools. Stool samples were collected and screened for soil transmitted helminths using Kato-Katz, while finger-prick blood samples were examined under the microscope to determine Plasmodium infection.
Results: Overall the prevalence of A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, Hookworm and P. falciparum was 4.43%, 0.76%, 0.16% and 3.15% respectively. On the other hand, 36.15% were co-infected with A. lumbricoides and P. falciparum. Surprisingly, the coinfection was higher 41.79%, (P<0.001) in girls than the overall coinfection prevalence.
Conclusion: Helminthiasis and malaria remain dominant, in spite of the continuing and tremendous national control programs. The strikingly surprising higher prevalence of A. lumbricoides-P. falciparum co-infection in girls calls for additional investigations.

Authors: Agada-Mba Margaret Offoboche , Anorue Luke Ifeanyi 
Published: November 2021

Aim: To examine the influence of ODF communication intervention on knowledge, attitude and practice as precursor for sustainable ODF adoption.
Study Design: Data was gathered using a mixed method. A total of 384 participants were selected from the South-South region using multistage sampling technique.
Place and Duration: A total of eight communities were selected from four states (Cross River, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa) in South-South Nigeria. The study was conducted between June and July 2019.
Methodology: A total of eight focus group discussions were held, one in each community while 384 copies of questioners were administered, 48 for each community.
Results: indicates high awareness (89%) of ODF but poor understanding. Significant difference in knowledge between those exposed and those not exposed to ODF communication intervention was revealed. Attitude to ODF was poor and insignificant between those exposed and those not exposed. Practice towards ODF initiative was manifest in the proper handling of child feaces, ownership and use of toilet while a binary logistic regression of demographic factors associated with the likelihood of practice towards ODF initiative revealed gender, education and age as the three strongest. Other factors impacting negatively on sustained ODF adoption are inappropriate and inadequate communication, denial of structural constraints and intervention systemic glitches.
Conclusion: The relevance ODF communication intervention is established yet inappropriate and adequate application as well as other factors combines to obscure the full realization of its potential in improving defecation practices. A region specific ODF intervention and evidence based participatory communication approaches are recommended.

Published: November 2021

Background: Chest injury was found to cause death in 20%–25% of multiple trauma patients. Thoracic trauma is, therefore, important in the overall management of multiple injury patients and may require a longer stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and use of mechanical ventilation.
Methods: This prospective randomized clinical study was in Emergency Intensive Care, Tanta University Hospitals. For, 88 adult patients with blunt chest injury. Patients were enrolled in this study aged ≥18 years old classified into two equal groups: Group I (Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation group) = 44 patient: Patients in this group received BIPAP. Group II (Control group=44 patient: Patients in this group have received high flow O2 by mask O2 without use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Data of collection were: the demographic data, Frequent arterial blood gas analysis of all patients every 6 hrs. Respiratory rate, Arterial blood pressure, Heart rate were recorded: every 6 h. All Patients receive analgesia. Evaluate outcome: a-Primary outcome. Tracheal intubation, duration of ventilation. b-Secondary outcome. Mortality, ICU length stay. And Chest Trauma Scoring System.
Results: Ten patients (22%) were intubated and mechanically ventilated in group I (BiPAP). with mean value of duration of ventilation 34.4 hrs. But at group II 16 patients (36%) were intubated and mechanically ventilated with mean value of duration of ventilation 34.12 hrs. ICU stay at group I (BiPAP) was statistically decrease of number of days when compared to group II (control). 6 days at group I and 12 days at group II. In this study no case of mortality was recorded with non-invasive ventilation, although three mortality cases were recorded with the control group.
Conclusion: This study recommends the pre-emptive use of Non-Invasive Ventilation in the treatment for blunt chest injury in patients at risk for respiratory failure. Success of Non-Invasive Ventilation depends on improvement of hypercarbia and hypoxemia in patients impending respiratory failure due to reversible cause as blunt chest trauma with the expectation of a good outcome and avoidance of intubation.

Published: November 2021

Aims: The main purpose of the study was to evaluate contextualization of theory and practices of teachers’ effective professional development features in primary schools in Ethiopia.
Methodolody: Concurrent triangulation mixed method design was employed in the study. Questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussion, observation, and document examination were used to collect the data. A total of 615 participants took part in the study. The quantitative data were analyzed by using means, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, one-way-ANOVA, and multiple regression. The textual and contextual qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Both quantitative and qualitative data were interpreted and concurrently triangulated.
Results: Teachers did not incorporate and implement professional development critical features in continuous professional development (CPD) plans and activities. The prevailed effects from these professional development features were [content-focus, R2 =.105, active learning, R2 = .072, coherence (R2=.043, collective participation, R2=.037, and sustained duration, R2=.014]. The cumulative outcomes of effectiveness of CPD practices added to multiple regression (R2=.271) accounted for 27.1% to cause teachers’ improve classroom instruction though professional dynamics predict that professional development practice is effective when it causes teachers improve professional practices. Teachers’ participation in CPD activities, learning potential from CPD and application of new knowledge and pedagogical skills in the classroom were rated (M1=17.82, M2 = 15.74 & M3 = 14.79) by teachers and mentors and principals respectively. There was no statistically significant difference at p >.05 level in mean scores [F (2, 535) = 2.052, p = .135].
Conclusion: The findings of the study have implications for teachers in terms of planning and implementing specific class content and reflection activities in order to gain appropriate professional competences. Teachers need to upgrade their skills as they were not performing well in the classroom.
The Wellbeing of Working Mothers before and after a COVID-19 Lockdown
Authors: Smith Andrew P. , James Arwel 
Published: November 2021

Background: This is the third article from a project on the wellbeing of staff, students, and parents at a Welsh-medium Secondary School. It focuses on the wellbeing of working mothers before COVID-19 lockdown, immediately after lockdown, and perceptions of the longer-term impact of the pandemic. The research used the wellbeing process model, which examines predictors of positive and negative wellbeing outcomes.
Aims: The study had three aims. First, to examine whether the wellbeing process model can be applied to working mothers. Secondly, to investigate the addition of new variables to the model. Finally, to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown and identify predictors of post-lockdown wellbeing.
Methodology: The research was carried out with the informed consent of the volunteers (N=202; mean age = 42.7 years, standard deviation (sd) = 8.5) and the approval of the School of Psychology, Cardiff University, ethics committee. An online survey was conducted, and regressions were carried out to investigate associations between the predictor variables and the wellbeing outcomes. Predictors of post-lockdown wellbeing were also investigated.
Results: The pre-COVID results generally agreed with the predictions of the wellbeing model. Positive wellbeing was associated with job resources, social support, psychological capital and healthy lifestyle. It was negatively associated with negative coping and daytime sleepiness. Negative wellbeing was associated with job demands, negative coping, daytime sleepiness and finding stressful situations threatening. It was negatively associated with social support, a healthy lifestyle and stable personality. Positive wellbeing after the lockdown was associated with job resources and stable personality. It was negatively associated with social isolation and negative wellbeing. Social isolation was associated with the negative effect of the pandemic on longer-term wellbeing, and a healthy lifestyle was negatively associated with this variable.
Conclusion: The results confirmed that the wellbeing process model applies to Welsh working mothers. Lockdown during COVID-19 affected wellbeing, with the stress of isolation being the most significant influence.

Published: November 2021

Aims: The Tanoe-Ehy swamp forest (TESF) is a freshwater swampy area characterized by seasonal variation of environmental parameters and fish diversity. So, the aim of this study was to analyze seasonal variations of growth parameters and condition factors of the three abundant species.
Methodology: Specimens were collected by using gill nets and fyke nets, measured and weighed. Length-weight relationship (LWR), Fulton’s condition (KF) and relative condition (KR) factors were analyzed from Standard Length (SL) and body weight (BW).
Results: The Standard Length of Clarias buettikoferi, Thysochromis ansorgii and Parachana obscura varied between 9.50 and 29.30 cm, 4.60 and 11.50 cm, 10.70 and 29.30 cm, respectively. The growth type of population was allometric negative for C. buettikoferi and P. obscura and isometric for T. ansorgii. In terms of seasonal variation, C. buettikoferi females and P. obscura specimens exhibited isometric growth in dry seasons (DS) against a negative allometric growth in flooded seasons (FS). In contrast, female and combined sex specimens of T. ansorgii showed positive allometric growth in DS and isometric growth type in FS. KR varied between 0.76 and 2.02 and was significantly higher in FS than in DS, indicating a state of well-being during flooded seasons in the 3 species.
Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between length with weight and both condition factor for the three species. This study provided the first data about fish body measurements in the TESF and concluded that LWRs and condition factors of the three fish species were strongly influenced by seasonal variations in hydrological conditions.
