Authors: Asuquo Offiong Offiong 
Published: June 2021

The prosperity gospel is a popular doctrine that is taught and practised by many Pentecostal churches in Nigeria. It has enhanced and improved the financial status of many Pentecostal churches thereby enabling them to carry out several projects which have enhanced the socio-economic wellbeing of many people. Such projects include the establishment of schools, universities, printing presses, financial empowerment of members, provision of welfare packages and care for the needy. This paper highlights the meanings of Pentecostalism, prosperity gospel and development. It also attempts to explain how prosperity gospel, in the context of some Pentecostal churches- Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) and Christian Central Chapel International, among others, have contributed to the socio-economic wellbeing of many. However, this paper acknowledges that there is room for an improvement and expansion of the contributions of prosperity gospel to development in the future. Hence suggestions are given on how to harness, improve and expand the benefits of the prosperity gospel in Nigerian society in the future.

Second Wave Analysis and Confirmed Forecasts of the SARS-Cov-2 Epidemic Outbreak in São Paulo, Brazil
Authors: Celaschi Sergio 
Published: June 2021

Objective: A SEIR compartmental model was previously selected to estimate future outcomes to the dynamics of the Covid-19 epidemic breakout in Brazil. Method: Compartments for individuals vaccinated and prevalent SARS-Cov-2 variants were not included. A time-dependent incidence weight on the reproductive basic number accounted for Non Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPI). A first series of published data from March 1st to May 8, 2020 was used to adjust all model parameters aiming to forecast one year of evolutionary outbreak. The cohort study was set as a city population-based analysis. Analysis: A population-based sample of 25,366 confirmed cases on exposed individuals was used during the first study period. The analysis was applied to predict the consequences of NPI enforcements followed by progressive releases, and indicates the appearance of a second wave starting last quarter of 2020. Findings: By March 1st 2021, the number of confirmed cases was predicted to reach 0.47Million (0.24-0.78), and fatalities would account for 21 thousand (12-33), 5 to 95% CRI. A second series of data published from May 9, 2020 to March 1st, 2021 confirms the forecasts previously reported for the evolution of infected people and fatalities. Novelty: By March 1st 2021, the number of confirmed cases reached 527,710 (12% above the predicted average of accumulated cases) and fatalities accounted for 18,769 (10% below the accumulated average of estimated fatalities). After March 1st, new peaks on reported numbers of daily new infected and new fatalities appeared as a combined result to the appearance of the prevalent SARS-CoV-2 P1 variant, and the increased number of vaccinated individuals.

Published: June 2021

During the COVID-19 pandemic, evacuation and repatriation of nationals have been done by many countries. However, this has posed several socio-economic and public health issues that are worth exploring. This commentary, therefore, aims at exploring the impact of evacuation and repatriation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Evacuation and repatriation helped to alleviate the psycho-social effects of the pandemic on foreign nationals, and also creates a sense of relief for host nations due to the reduced stress related to caring for a potentially larger number of people. It also contributed to the enhancement of the healthcare systems of several countries. However, evacuation and repatriation have contributed to the importation of the virus into various countries. It presents significant logistic and economic challenges as it requires trained personnel and equipment. Therefore, there is a need for proper planning, financing and supervision to avoid possible importation of the virus during the expedition. In addition, community awareness regarding returnees is essential to prevent social discrimination and stigma. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2021-03-SI-7 Full Text: PDF
Covid-19 vs. BCG Universal Immunization: Statistical Significance in the Early Phase of the Pandemics
Authors: Dolgikh Serge 
Published: June 2021

A possible correlation between the impact of Covid-19 and universal immunization program against tuberculosis with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine was suggested previously, based on apparent correlation between lower impact of the epidemics and a record of national BCG immunization program. In this work a time-adjusted dataset of Covid-19 statistical data by national and subnational health jurisdictions at the time point of six months after the local arrival of the epidemics was used to perform a statistical analysis of the significance of the correlation hypothesis between universal BCG immunization and a milder early phase Covid-19 scenario. With the data accumulated up to the point of the analysis, the significance of the correlation hypothesis was evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively with the conclusion that it has achieved statistically significant level of confidence. The conclusions of this research can be used in development of epidemiological policy as well as the rationale to investigate the origin and mechanisms of a broad immunity protection that can be associated with an early-age exposure to BCG vaccine.

Authors: Lestari Kiki Dwi , Asari Slamet 
Published: June 2021

Learning media is needed in education. Books are one of the important media. In higher education, variations of the book began to be introduced in the form of printed book (traditional) and screen book (electronic). At the University of Muhammadiyah Gresik in the English department, the two book formats are taught from the first semester to sixth semester. Student learning styles and learning outcomes are also influenced by the book and the format of what books are read by students. This is preceded by the learning felt by the students on what kind of book format is preferred. In this study, researchers look for differences in likes or lessons perceived by students to screen books and printed books at higher levels of education. The sample of this study is 50 students consisting of 23 students from the morning class and 27 students from the afternoon class. Sample is taken by purposive sampling technique to facilitate the researcher to find the right subject with criterion according to this research. Data collection used in this study using questionnaires with Likert scale grading 4 points. Some statements to be answered by respondents in the form of affective questions about their feelings or perceived in learning are often referred to as self-report measure. The Z test is used to test the research hypothesis as it relates to this type of comparative study and to find out the accepted or rejected null hypothesis. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant difference between screen book and printed book on students perceived learning. This means that the two natural groups, morning class and evening class, both prefer the printed book because of the tacticle interaction factor. Of the two classes have a fondness for the screen book but not significant. Then, it can be conclude that in this study null hypothesis is accepted.

Abstract

Due to the popularity of online learning using zoom application which has been implemented by several educational circles in pandemic era, has showed several issues related to their virtual zoom learning. This study is aimed to investigate the efficiency of learning vocabulary using virtual synchronous zoom in collaboration with engaging media, by turning learners’ video on and off. Pre-test and post-test with the same item and form of multiple choice questions were given to two different groups of 30 participants with the same duration of time, media and topic to measure EFL learners’ vocabulary development using experimental design and was analyzed using several quantitative tests. 25 items of instruments used were tested based on their validity and reliability. Questionnaires of Thai and English language versions were filled in by EFL learners with the total of 10 items. The results showed that the 2 groups of EFL learners showed positive results in enhancing their vocabulary mastery, but the EFL learners’ group who turned their video on had higher results compared to those who turned their video off. In addition, the EFL learners of zoom on group also experienced less difficulty and inconvenience during the virtual learning process.
Role of nutrients regulation in the immune system in preventing COVID-19 infection: A brief review
Authors: Chauhan Anamika 
Published: June 2021

This review aimed to focus on using foods to boost immunity against COVID-19 in all age groups. In human, coronavirus causes the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and a major threat to public health. The novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization due to its rapid infectivity. COVID-19 infection is most probably reported in people with low immunity response. The nutrients, which show beneficial effects on the immune system, are called immune nutrients and diet is called immune diet. A healthy diet can reduce the risk of infection of COVID-19 and can prevent disease. Nutritional food intake is also necessary for people with chronic illness, obese persons, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction like anxiety and depression. All nutrients are essential for maintaining immunity and providing appropriate amounts of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals for the surveillance mode of keeping us from getting sick. The use of plenty of water, minerals such as micronutrients, zinc, copper, selenium, iron, magnesium, food rich in vitamins, and a good lifestyle can promote health and overwhelm this coronavirus infection.

A Greenhouse experiment on the study of responses of mixed light-emitting diode ratios in cut chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) was conducted at the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2019-20. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatment comprises of seven varied light-emitting diode irradiance levels viz., L1 – 100% White; L2 – 100% Red; L3 - 80% Red + 20% Blue; L4 – 80% Red + 20% Far-red; L5 – 75% Blue + 25% Far-red; L6 – 60% Red + 20% Blue + 20% Far-red; L7 - High pressure sodium vapour lamp (as check) in Salvador and Pusa Centenary varieties. The results revealed that the growth in terms of height of the chrysanthemum at critical stages was maximum (48.88 cm in Salvador and 41.92 cm in Pusa Centenary) under the light irradiance of B75FR25 (L5) during the peak vegetative stage and registered maximum leaf area. Highest internodal length up to 3rd leaf of 1.07 cm was registered in sodium vapour lamp irradiance (L7) and 1.39 cm in 100% Red irradiance (L2). The early flower bud emergence (39 days in Salvador and 50 days in Pusa Centenary) was observed in B75Fr25 spectral irradiance (L5). The highest total cut stem yield per square meter (42.65 in Salvador and 41.99 in Pusa Centenary) was registered in R80B20. The study revealed that blue LEDs combined with Far-red promoted early flowering and inhibited stem elongations. Red and Blue wavelength increased the total leaf area and registered improved flower yield.

Published: June 2021

In several countries, educational leadership has become essential for promoting school improvement. However, little is known about how to detect and visualize leadership among educational actors in Chilean schools -whether teachers or management team-, considering the advances that have been made internationally. To address this gap, this research used Social Network Analysis (SNA) to examine the interactions and collaborative practices related to teaching and improvement processes, as well as to determine leadership roles and patterns inside a Chilean school. Data was gathered through a questionnaire for all educational actors working in a school, which has had an improvement in its trajectory according to Â the national standardized achievement test (SIMCE) and other metrics, in order to detect which educational actors are actually in educational leadership positions. Centrality indicators of teachers and management team, the density of interactions inside the school, and the visualization of their sociograms or network maps showed that actors associated with the School Inclusion Programme (SIP) have a preponderant presence. The study argues that the covid-19 pandemic presents itself a scenario that highlights their role beyond the existing school hierarchies. This provides contextualized evidence for educational practices and school improvement processes.

This article presents findings from a research aimed at identifying the main consensus on the definition, causes and proposals on the schoolification of early childhood education in Chile, according to the vision of actors in the field. Relying on an exploratory and Â qualitative design, data was gathered through individual interviews to both current and former national governmental authorities, as well as to principals, pedagogical leaders and early childhood teachers (N = 43) from 5 early childhood centers and 5 schools, selected for convenience, all of them publicly funded, and encompassing classrooms for, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year-oldsâ€™ classrooms. Having conducted content analysis and data triangulation, findings show that these three groups of actors defined the schoolification of early childhood education as a pedagogical phenomenon, which affects mostly 4- and 5-year -oldsâ€™ classrooms, valuing it negatively. Identifying as causes a number of cultural elements and structural factors of quality, they proposed measures of public policy to revert this trend

Understanding Cognitive Science of Sighted Person in Reading Tactile Pictogram by Touch
Authors: Fadhlillah Fariz 
Published: June 2021

The tactile pictogram is designed as an orientation and mobility system for the visually impaired in the train station. How to access the information through touch. However, this design is also intended to be used by the sighted person. To make this design becomes universal, in the designing process, it is necessary to consider the cognitive processes that occur when the sighted people read a tactile pictogram as an input for data comparisons. Data collection methods are divided into three, namely surveys to obtain primary data, action research to obtain secondary data, and document study to obtain tertiary data. The study was conducted by testing the pictogram media that had been previously designed with a semiotic approach to the ancient visual language theory of Primadi Tabrani. The data results were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. At the analysis process, findings are hoped to be able to reveal definitional statements about the cognitive ability that is used by sighted people in reading tactile pictograms, namely imagery or memory.

Published: June 2021

Background: Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by an expanded (>35) CAG trinucleotide repeat in huntingtin ( HTT). Age-at-onset of motor symptoms is inversely correlated with the size of the inherited CAG repeat, which expands further in brain regions due to somatic repeat instability. Our recent genetic investigation focusing on autosomal SNPs revealed that age-at-onset is also influenced by genetic variation at many loci, the majority of which encode genes involved in DNA maintenance/repair processes and repeat instability. Objective: We performed a complementary association analysis to determine whether variants in the X chromosome modify HD. Methods: We imputed SNPs on chromosome X for ∼9,000 HD subjects of European ancestry and performed an X chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) to test for association with age-at-onset corrected for inherited CAG repeat length. Results: In a mixed effects model XWAS analysis of all subjects (males and females), assuming random X-inactivation in females, no genome-wide significant onset modification signal was found. However, suggestive significant association signals were detected at Xq12 (top SNP, rs59098970; p-value, 1.4E-6), near moesin ( MSN), in a region devoid of DNA maintenance genes. Additional suggestive signals not involving DNA repair genes were observed in male- and female-only analyses at other locations. Conclusion: Although not genome-wide significant, potentially due to small effect size compared to the power of the current study, our data leave open the possibility of modification of HD by a non-DNA repair process. Our XWAS results are publicly available at the updated GEM EURO 9K website hosted at https://www.hdinhd.org/ for browsing, pathway analysis, and data download.
