TAMING POVERTY IN NIGERIA: LANGUAGE, ZAKAT AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Abdurraheem Hamzah , Suraju Saheed Badmus 
Published: October 2018

<p><em>Poverty, hunger and unemployment are social scourges ravaging many African countries, Nigeria inclusive. They constitute great obstacles to sustainable development and pose serious threats to security challenges. With her enormous human and material potentials, Nigeria ranks the 23<sup>rd</sup> poorest country in the world. To tackle the menace of poverty, hunger and unemployment, successive Nigerian governments have initiated series of poverty eradication or poverty-alleviation programmes. But these programmes, due to corruption and inefficient leadership, availed Nigerians nothing, as 61.5% of Nigerians, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), are living below $1.25 per day. Against this backdrop, this paper focuses attention on poverty and identifies Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, as a panacea for its alleviation. The paper discovers that lexical repetition, lexical collocation, synonyms, presuppositions and implicature are diverse linguistic features that are woven into the textual fabric of the Glorious Quran to foreground the paramount importance of Zakat as a social security towards poverty reduction. With a view to promoting national development and security, the paper concludes by advocating for an enabling law establishing a Central Zakat (and Sadaqah) Administrative Board that will be saddled with the responsibilities of collecting Zakat and distributing it to the beneficiaries as stated in Suratu-t-Tawbah, verse 60 (9:60). </em></p>

Authors: Reuter John M. , Hutyra Carolyn A. , Politzer Cary S. , Calixte Christopher C. , Scott Daniel J. , Attarian David E. , Mather Richard C. 
Published: October 2018

Background:
Episode-based bundled payments for total knee arthroplasty emphasize cost-effective patient-centered care. Understanding patients’ perceptions of components of the total knee arthroplasty care episode is critical to achieving this care. This study investigated patient preferences for components of the total knee arthroplasty care episode.

Methods:
Best-worst scaling was used to analyze patient preferences for components of the total knee arthroplasty care episode. Participants were selected from patients presenting to 2 orthopaedic clinics with chronic knee pain. They were presented with descriptions of 17 attributes before completing a best-worst scaling exercise. Attribute importance was determined using hierarchical Bayesian estimation. Latent class analysis was used to evaluate varying preference profiles.

Results:
One hundred and seventy-four patients completed the survey, and 117 patients (67%) were female. The mean age was 62.71 years. Participants placed the highest value on surgeon factors, including level of experience, satisfaction rating, and complication rates. Latent class analysis provided a 4-segment model of the population.

Conclusions:
This study demonstrated differences in patient preferences for the components of a total knee arthroplasty care episode and characterized distinct preference profiles among patient subsets. Stakeholders can use this information to focus efforts and policy on high-value components and to potentially create customized bundles guided by preference profiles.

Clinical Relevance:
This study is clinically relevant because the patient preferences identified here may help providers to design customized bundles for total knee arthroplasty care.
Soil Type and Phosphorus Fertilization Affect Poa annua Growth and Seedhead Production
Authors: Guertal E.A. , McElroy J.S. 
Published: October 2018

Core Ideas
Excessive P fertilization produced larger Poa annua plants.
Excess P fertilization created Poa annua plants that flowered earlier.
Limiting P fertilization will help to create smaller Poa annua plants.
Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is a winter annual weed in southern landscapes. Previous research indicated that soil P or pH affects growth of annual bluegrass, which could provide tools for integrated control of a plant considered a weed in some turfgrass systems. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of P rate and soil type on growth parameters of annual bluegrass. This greenhouse study evaluated rates of P (0, 25, 50, 99, and 197 kg P ha−1) on 3 soil types (silty clay loam, loamy sand, and sand/peat [90:10% v/v] greensmix). Plant height, days to first seedhead (panicle), branches per panicle, seeds per branch, seed number and weight, and shoot and root dry weight data were collected by hand sampling and counting. Annual bluegrass seed was affected by both soil type and rate of P fertilization. Annual bluegrass plants grown in greensmix that received lower or zero P were 25% smaller than fertilized, took a week longer to produce a visible seed head, and had seed of reduced weight. Number of panicles, branches per panicle, seeds per panicle, and seeds per panicle branch were all unaffected by P rate, but often by soil type, where there were fewer of all when grown in greensmix. Avoidance of excessive P fertilization and subsequent accumulation of soil P may be an additional tool for the management and reduction of annual bluegrass.
Neuromuscular diseases with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Cesar Sergi 
Published: October 2018

[first paragraph of article]Neuromuscular disorders are frequently associated with cardiac abnormalities, even in pediatric population. Cardiac involvement includes both structural changes and conduction disease. In general, HCM is a rare manifestation of neuromuscular diseases. Autosomal dominant inheritance with mutations in sarcomeric genes are described in about 60% of young adults and adult population with HCM. Other genetic disorders, such as inherited metabolic and neuromuscular diseases and other chromosome abnormalities are responsible of 5–10% of HCM in adults. We review the most frequent neuromuscular diseases related with HCM.
Foreword to the Special Issue: HCM in 2018
Authors: Elliott Perry 
Published: October 2018

[first paragraph of article]The first description of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can be attributed to any number of great anatomists and physicians working from the 17th century onwards, but the modern era is often said to have begun with Donald Teare’s landmark paper of 1958 that spurred a period of intense clinical investigation that has continued unabated to the present day. The fruits of this collective endeavour include an understanding of the genetic architecture of the disease, an appreciation of its complex pathophysiology, and much progress in clinical management. However, many challenges remain, particularly with respect to disease prevention and the management of progressive heart failure.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the microbiological and physico-chemical properties of different types of drinking water used. The cross-sectional type study was carried out between January 1 and April 30, 2016. The samples acquired for the study from 50 packages, 50 tap water taps, and 50 residential treatment devices were examined both microbiologically and biochemically. The pH values varied between 5.57 and 8.26. pH values of tap and packaged waters were all determined to be proper, and improperly low pH values were determined in 25 of the samples acquired from the residential treatment devices. It was determined that amounts of fluoride, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, arsenic, and ammonium were all acceptable. Fluoride amounts were determined to be high at a statistically significant level in packaged and residential treatment device water (p = 0.000). Escherichia coli was determined in 10% of tap water and 2% of packaged water. Microbiological contaminations of the samples collected after the pump-faucet and water fountain were determined to be greater in comparison with those of samples collected directly from packaged waters. It was determined that the residential treatment process is applied more on drinkable waters. The purification of water causes significant physico-chemical changes.
On the factors influencing public knowledge and acceptance of reclaimed water from a survey of three cities in northern China
Authors: Zhu Zhongfan , Wang Hongrui , Li Aihua 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this study, we analysed the survey results regarding the level of public knowledge about, and general attitudes towards, reclaimed water in Jinan, Weifang, and Yantai, three cities in northern China that experience serious water shortages. The objective is to identify the factors influencing public knowledge and acceptance of reclaimed water and determine the hurdles of water reuse applications. The results showed that: (1) educational background was moderately correlated, and age and monthly income were weakly correlated, with the respondents' knowledge about water resources and use; (2) gender, occupation, and economic income were not related to public attitudes toward reclaimed water, and older people and those with higher educational backgrounds were more willing to accept the use of reclaimed water than were other respondents. This study could provide a valuable reference in other regions of China and developing countries facing similar issues of reclaimed water. The knowledge of this study will help to overcome public acceptance hurdles in other projects.
Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Based-(AMPS-co-AA) Semi-IPNs as a Potential Drug Carrier: Enzymatic Degradation, Cytotoxicity, and Preliminary Safety Evaluation
Authors: Ullah Kaleem , Sohail Muhammad , Mannan Abdul , Rashid Haroon , Shah Aamna , Murtaza Ghulam , Khan Shujaat Ali 
Published: October 2018

Objective:
The study describes the development of chitosan-based (AMPS-co-AA) semi-IPN
hydrogels using free radical polymerization technique.

Methods:
The resulting hydrogels were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
(FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-Ray diffraction
(XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The successful crosslinking of chitosan, 2-
Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid (AMPS), and Acrylic Acid (AA) was confirmed by FT IR.
Unloaded and drug-loaded hydrogels exhibited higher thermal stability after crosslinking compared to
the individual components. XRD confirmed the decrease in crystallinity after hydrogel formation and
molecular dispersion of Oxaliplatin (OXP) in the polymeric network. SEM showed rough, vague and
nebulous surface resulting from crosslinking and loading of OXP.

Results:
The experimental results revealed that swelling and drug release were influenced by the pH of
the medium being low at acidic pH and higher at basic pH. Increasing the concentration of chitosan and
AA enhanced the swelling, drug loading and drug release while AMPS was found to act inversely.

Conclusion:
It was confirmed that the hydrogels were degraded more by specific enzyme lysozyme as
compared to the non-specific enzyme collagenase. In-vitro cytotoxicity suggested that the unloaded
hydrogels were non-cytotoxic while crude drug and drug-loaded hydrogel exhibited dose-dependent
cytotoxicity against HCT-116 and MCF-7. Results of acute oral toxicity on rabbits demonstrated that
the hydrogels are non-toxic up to 3900 mg/kg after oral administration, as no toxicity or histopathological
changes were observed in comparison to control rabbits. These pH-sensitive hydrogels appear to
provide an ideal basis as a safe carrier for oral drug delivery.

Published: October 2018

Background:Using a bacterial expression system such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) is very common for protein expression because of its simplicity, low cost and high efficiency.Objective:In order to express proteins that contain di-sulfide bands, an oxidative space such as the periplasmic environment of the bacteria is required. Therefore, a leader sequence which named Signal Peptide (SP) is needed to direct recombinant protein to fold in periplasmic space. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a prominent cytokine which known as growth factor for T-cells and typically produced by a variety of immune cells that stimulate and regulate inflammatory and immune responses.Methods:This study was designed to predict the best signal peptides to express IL-2 in E. coli. To predict the best signal peptides for the expression of IL-2 in Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli), forty-five sequences of SPs were extracted from data base. Some most important details such as n, h and c regions of signal peptides and their probability were studied through the signalP software. </P><P> Afterwards, physico–chemical features of SPs were analyzed by Portparam and Solpro tools. Finally, secretion-pathway and sub-cellular localization sites were evaluated by PRED-TAT and ProtcompB softwares.Results:At the end of the in-silico analyzes, it was determined that ccmH, PelB, traU, yohN, lolA, yhcN are the most reliable SPs, respectively, with highest score and best performing to express the IL-2 protein in E. coli.

Authors: García María de los Ángeles , Mastrandrea Ciro Andrés 
Published: October 2018

En un rodal de Eucalyptus grandis afectado por heladas se estudió la asociación entre daños por heladas y defectos en la madera. Cuatro meses después de las heladas se clasificaron 40 árboles de 3 años en 3 clases de daño por heladas: sin daño aparente, ápice seco, toda la copa dañada; se les midió altura y diámetro normal (DAP) y dos años después se midieron nuevamente y se apearon 19 individuos de las 3 clases. En las dos primeras trozas se estimó el módulo de elasticidad dinámico (MOE) y en las tablas se registró presencia de médula, pudrición, grietas y kino. Los datos se analizaron con modelos mixtos, prueba LSD de Fisher, análisis de correspondencia múltiple y modelos lineales generalizados mixtos. En la primera medición los árboles sin daño aparente presentaban altura y DAP significativamente mayores a los demás. Dos años después de la primera medición los árboles que habían presentado toda la copa dañada mostraron valores de DAP significativamente menores. El MOE de las segundas trozas resultó significativamente mayor en árboles sin daño aparente comparados con los de toda la copa dañada. Solo se observó pudrición en árboles con daño visible, pero sin diferencias significativas en la proporción de tablas con pudrición en las dos clases. La asociación entre grietas y daño por heladas no fue significativa. El daño por heladas según la escala usada se asocia con pudrición en tablas y con el módulo de elasticidad de las trozas.
