BackgroundDonation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts are vital for increasing available donor organs. Gradual rewarming during machine perfusion has proven effective in mitigating reperfusion injury and enhancing graft quality. Limited data exist on artificial oxygen carriers as an effective solution to meet the increasing metabolic demand with temperature changes. The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy and safety of utilizing a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) during the gradual rewarming of DCD rat livers.MethodsLiver grafts were procured after 30 min of warm ischemia. The effect of 90 min of oxygenated rewarming perfusion from ice cold temperatures (4 °C) to 37 °C with HBOC after cold storage was evaluated and the results were compared with cold storage alone. Reperfusion at 37 °C was performed to assess the post-preservation recovery.ResultsGradual rewarming with HBOC significantly enhanced recovery, demonstrated by markedly lower lactate levels and reduced vascular resistance compared to cold-stored liver grafts. Increased bile production in the HBOC group was noted, indicating improved liver function and bile synthesis capacity. Histological examination showed reduced cellular damage and better tissue preservation in the HBOC-treated livers compared to those subjected to cold storage alone.ConclusionThis study suggests the safety of using HBOC during rewarming perfusion of rat livers as no harmful effect was detected. Furthermore, the viability assessment indicated improvement in graft function.

Inland water bodies are critical ecosystems that serve several functions including the provision of freshwater, regulation of climate and hydrological flows, and pollution control. Therefore, effective monitoring and management of these water resources is critical for sustainable water supply systems. This study evaluated the possible use of satellite data to estimate water quality parameters (WQPs) in an inland water body. The study also used artificial neural network (ANN) models in addition to the satellite data to determine the optimum coagulant dose for water treatment. The use of earth observations and machine learning methods has not been done extensively in developing countries, specifically, in water quality monitoring and management. The study utilized empirical multivariate regression modelling (EMRM) of the spectral reflectances from satellite data for the retrieval of Chla-a, Turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations in an inland water body. Using MLP-ANN modelling, the extracted spectral reflectance values from the selected sampling points in the reservoir were used as model inputs for the prediction of treated WQPs. A second MLP-ANN model was developed to predict the optimum coagulant dose required for raw water treatment. The R2 values achieved with AN model 1 were 0.81, 0.76, and 0.81 respectively for TSS, turbidity, and Chl-a, and 0.99 for the optimum coagulant dose. The study concluded that spectral reflectance from medium resolution satellite data products can be used to estimate WQPs from inland water bodies. Further, the ANN models demonstrate that extracted water quality data from satellite images can be used to inform ANN models for water quality predictions, and for the optimization of water treatment plant operations.

The non-predictability of rainfall-groundwater table relationships in the ungauged Obio Akpa watershed has rubbished remedial measures against seasonal crop losses. This study utilizes ten years (2011-2020) climate data obtained from the study area to predict the seasonal rainfall-groundwater table variations and simulate the effects on crop root zone using Upflow model. Twelve wells monitored monthly, characterized the seasonal behaviour of the Groundwater Table (GT). Gravimetric direct measurements of soil water contents were the inputs to UPFLOW model used to simulate the seasonal responses of GT to rainfall. Correlation-regression analysis was used to obtain a prediction equation of GT responses to rainfall. Results showed that in the month of April, the mean rainfall of 230mm induced GT rise of 1.35m (35%) from 3.85m in March to 2.50m in April. The effect on the soil water properties included a corresponding increase of 1.8 vol.% (10.7%) in field capacity at equilibrium with the water table in the preceding month. Mean soil water condition remained optimal at 15.9 vol.% with the GT at 1.5m below the root zone. In September and October when 1859mm and 2129mm of the mean annual rainfall was received, the water table increased by 72% and 74% respectively, and field capacity in equilibrium with the GT increased to 34.9 vol.%. causing GT inundation of the root zone (RZ) and deficit aeration in 74% of the RZ respectively. In November, with reduced rainfall amount and decreased input to groundwater, only 16% of the RZ was in deficit aeration. UPFLOW simulations of the annual soil water regime showed the months of September, October and November as high GT months suitable for planting and harvesting of only shallow rooted, short maturity crops. This knowledge will guide effective water resources and crop management in the watershed.

Published: July 2024

The two key ideas in the evolution of Islamic thought in Indonesia are modernization and secularization. Modernization is an effort to keep Islamic teachings up-to-date and relevant to the changing times, while secularization is the division of religion and state affairs. The purpose of this study is to analyze how modernization and secularization have influenced Islamic thought in Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative with literature study. Primary data sources used are books (especially recommended for scientific work), recognized scientific publications, and student research findings in various formats, including theses, dissertations, practicum reports, and so on. Meanwhile, secondary data sources are obtained through previous research that has been carried out by previous research. The data analysis technique used is by data reduction which aims to conclude the results of the entire study. The results of the study show: First, if modernization and secularization have brought significant changes in Islamic thought in Indonesia, it shows that modernization encourages Muslims to adopt a rational mindset and be able to adapt to the progress of the times. Meanwhile, secularization helps Muslims in Indonesia to separate religious affairs from politics, thus allowing them to contribute more effectively to the development of the country. Second, modernization brings significant social changes, including changes in social structures, behavior patterns, and social interactions. Social change can occur suddenly or gradually, involving the active participation of community members. Globalization accelerates the modernization process by spreading ideas and cultures from Western countries to the rest of the world. Third, the relationship between Islam, modernization, and secularization is a complex and ever-evolving phenomenon, with diverse views and interpretations from various figures and thinkers.

Published: July 2024

En el contexto de un mundo en rápida evolución, donde los avances tecnológicos y los cambios socioculturales reformulan continuamente los contornos de nuestra vida cotidiana, la educación enfrenta el desafío de preparar a las futuras generaciones no solo con conocimientos académicos, sino también con habilidades y competencias esenciales para navegar en este complejo panorama global. En las últimas décadas, ha habido un reconocimiento creciente sobre la necesidad de integrar habilidades para la vida y competencias clave dentro de los currículos educativos, un movimiento que comenzó en los países anglosajones y que ha ganado impulso internacionalmente. Organizaciones internacionales como la OMS, UNICEF, UNESCO, y la OCDE han desempeñado roles determinantes en la definición y promoción de estos enfoques educativos, que buscan preparar a los estudiantes no solo para el éxito académico sino también para el personal y profesional en una sociedad interconectada. Este artículo profundiza en la evolución de estos enfoques educativos, explorando cómo teorías fundamentales del aprendizaje, como la Teoría Cognitiva Sociocultural de Vygotsky, la teoría del aprendizaje social de Bandura y la teoría del desarrollo cognitivo de Piaget, proporcionan un marco sólido para entender y aplicar estas habilidades en contextos educativos.

Published: July 2024

Sub-caliber projectiles have been widely used in modern warfare due to their ability to enhance accuracy and ballistic performance. For such projectiles, however, an effective separation of the penetrator from the sabot upon exiting the barrel is extremely important for achieving the desired accuracy and terminal ballistics. In this paper, we present a theoretical model for studying the aspects of the penetrator-sabot separation process for a sub-caliber projectile fired from 7.62mm pistols. The method used in this paper is a combination of analytical and numerical approaches. Firstly, an equation system was analytically established to describe the motion of the sabot and the penetrator in absolute coordinates. Then, the Computational fluid dynamics simulation approach was applied to determine the aerodynamic forces acting on the sabot and the penetrator. Finally, the equation system was solved using Newton’s method to calculate the position of the sabot and the penetrator during the separation process. Based on the proposed model, the effect of some parameters on the separation process was investigated. The investigation results have shown that the initial friction force between the sabot and the penetrator significantly influences the separation process. The findings in this study provide valuable contributions to the design and optimization of sub-caliber projectile-weapon systems.

Objective: Few studies have been conducted to assess the psychological status of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. This study aims to assess the grit, motivation, and self-esteem of health workers in the COVID-19 treatment centres and the relationship between grittiness, low self-esteem, and motivation.
Method: A cross-sectional study was performed via an online survey on 113 consenting and consecutively enrolled health workers in 56 public and private COVID-19 management centres in Nigeria. The grit questionnaire instrument developed by Duckworth, Hellriegel and Slocum’s motivation instrument and Rosenberg-validated self-esteem scale was adopted.
Results: The demographic characteristics showed their average age was 39.876 years (M = 39.876, SD = 9.0289), with a median age of 38 years (Mdn = 38). Nurses (27.19%), health attendants (16.67%), medical laboratory scientists (14.04), medical doctors (12.28%) and others participated in the study, Grittiness is positively and weakly correlated with self-esteem (r = 0.24675, p = 0.00842). There is a significant correlation between grittiness and motivation (p < 0.05). Also, there is no statistically significant correlation between motivation and self-esteem (p > 0.05). Motivation is negatively and weakly correlated with grittiness (r = -0.33316, p = 0.00031).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that grittiness plays a significant role in influencing self-esteem. Additionally, gender was a significant predictor, indicating that males may have lower self-esteem compared to females. However, motivation did not show a significant association with self-esteem. Encouraging the development of grit and resilience among health workers may contribute to improved self-esteem and overall well-being.
