<em>To support the smooth learning process in the classroom, learning media is very necessary. In teaching and learning the role of learning media is also important to help the learning process. So this research aims to improve student learning outcomes in science subjects using pop up book audio media. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) through four stages, namely planning, implementation, observation and reflection at SDN 3 Blimbing. The instruments used in this research were teacher observation sheets, student observation sheets, documentation and learning results test sheets. The results of this research show that those who use audio pop up books have a metamorphosis in science learning. Student learning outcomes have increased from the 2 learning cycles carried out, which can be seen from the student learning outcomes where in the first cycle, student completion was 43%, which shows that students can understand metamorphosis material but cannot differentiate between lava and pupae, tadpoles and tailed frogs, pupae and larvae. larva, nymph and imago. Meanwhile, in cycle II, learning outcomes increased by 52.4% to 95.4% . This indicates that the use of audio pop up book media on metamorphosis material can improve learning outcomes significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that science learning in elementary schools use more real learning media. </em>

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to understand existing discrepancies between primary pressure injury care in daily practice and care as recommended by medical professionals (identification, prevention, and treatment), psychological perceptions of family caregivers' participation in pressure injury care practice, and the difficulties faced by family caregivers in performing pressure injury care. Therefore, key coping strategies for caregivers in the practice of identifying, preventing, and cooperating with the treatment of pressure injuries were proposed.
Methods: From June to December 2023, 17 older patients with pressure injuries were observed and 17 family caregivers were interviewed using a field study design that included semi-participatory observation and in-depth interviews. Field notes were analysed using a qualitative three-level coding method.
Results: Eight themes were extracted after analysing the on-site observation records and interviews. These included four topics on care content (food preparation and feeding support, maintaining hygiene, postural change and use of supports, use of medication, and dressing), two perception topics (responsible care and compensatory companion, grief, and helplessness), and two challengetopics (identifying and alerting barriers to pressure injury and shortage of professional care and counselling resources).
Conclusion: Family caregivers still provide inappropriate pressure injury care, for example, in terms of frequency of body position changes and ways to keep wounds clean and hygienic. The education of family caregivers of disabled older adults should include the identification of pressure injuries and related early warning signs and introduce teaching cases when appropriate. To facilitate access to professional care and counselling resources for pressure injuries, the community can be united to carry out systematic science popularisation by using various effective media such as new media and video channels.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objective
Fusarium wilt poses a significant threat to banana production, caused by diverse clonal Fusarium lineages. Given the lack of curative measures, developing effective treatments is crucial. RNA interference (RNAi) technology, utilizing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, offers a promising solution. In this study, RNAi was evaluated by silencing the activity of the Beta-tubulin (Focβ-tub), C5 Sterol desaturase (FocERG3) and Chitin synthase 1 (FocChs1) genes in a pathogenic Fusarium strain. Furthermore, we study the potential of dsRNA translocation in 3 months old banana plants at early hours of been spray under greenhouse conditions.
Results
In vitro results demonstrated that dsRNA-FocChs1 was more effective in inhibiting spores, with an average IC50 of 156.84 mg/L, compared to dsRNA-Focβ-tub (IC50: 532.7 mg/L), dsRNA-FocERG3 (IC50: 635.59 mg/L), and a positive control (IC50: 243.91 mg/L). A greenhouse test was conducted to evaluate the translocation of dsRNA in banana plants. The results demonstrated that the dsRNA remained on the applied leaf without degradation up to 48 hours post-application (hpa). However, no translocation to other plant tissues was detected until the last time point. Further time points should be evaluated to ascertain the dsRNA translocation to other banana plant tissue.
Fisetin inhibits patulin-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating ROS/Grp78/Chop/Caspase-12
Authors: Xu Dongmei , Zhang Baigang , Huang Chenghui , Lu Jiao , Li Yang , Fu Binggang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objectives of the Study
Fisetin (FIS) has a good protective effect on the heart. However, fisetin in regulating the role of the myocardial injury induced by patulin (PAT) is not clear. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible mechanism of fisetin in attenuating patulin induced myocardial injury.
Materials and Methods
Cardiomyocytes were treated with 25μM PAT to set the control group, FIS only group, PAT only group and PAT-FIS addition group. LDH activity, SOD content, and MDA content were evaluated using kits. ROS levels were determined by measuring the intensity of fluorescence. Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 dye staining. The protein expressions of Grp78, Chop and Caspase-12 were detected by Western blot.
Results
In PAT-FIS group, LDH release and MDA content decreased, but SOD content increased. Compared with the control group, the level of ROS in PAT group increased more than 10 times. The level of ROS in the PAT-FIS group was still higher than that in the control group, but it was significantly lower than that in the PAT group. The proportion of red fluorescence in the mitochondrial membrane potential of cardiomyocytes increased from 75% to 85% in the PAT-FIS group. PAT up-regulated the expression of Chop, Grp78 and Caspase-12 proteins, while the overexpression of Chop, Grp78 and Caspase-12 proteins was inhibited after pretreatment with FIS and PAT .
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that FIS inhibits PAT-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating ROS/Grp78/Chop/Caspase-12 signaling.

Abstract

Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a high mortality and disability rate and can result in severe neurological deficits and complications. The process of SCI is complex and has a long duration. Studies suggest that urocortin 2 (UCN2) is associated with motor functions regulated by the spinal cord. However, the role of electroacupuncture (EA) in regulating UCN2 at different times after SCI and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.Methods The SCI animal model was established in SD rats by complete transection of the right spinal cord at the T10 level. EA was applied to the T9 and T11 Jiaji points. Behavioral analyses were performed at 1-, 3-, 7-, 14- and 28-days post-injury (d.p.i), and cellular morphology was observed in spinal cord tissue obtained from the injury site. RNA sequencing was carried out, and the results were validated.Results The use of EA significantly improved the behavioral scores and hind-limb locomotion in rats with SCI at 7, 14, and 28 d.p.i (p < 0.05). At 3 d.p.i, the treatment resulted in a reduction in the number of astrocytes in the periphery of the injury site (p < 0.05), as well as a reduction in the extent of glial scar formation. Additionally, the number of microglia was increased, while neuronal apoptosis was suppressed (p < 0.05). At 14 and 28 d.p.i, the number of astrocytes was increased (p < 0.05), the number of microglia was decreased (p < 0.05), and the positive staining ratio of neurofilaments (NF) and myelin basic protein (MBP) was elevated (p < 0.05). Post-injury RNA sequencing showed that there were significant changes in UCN2 expression. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated a strong connection between UCN2 and the downstream cAMP-PKA signaling pathway. Subsequent qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry experiments confirmed that EA significantly reduced the expression of UCN2, PKA, NF-κB, and NMDAR in rats with SCI at 1 and 3 d.p.i (p < 0.05) while increasing the expression of UCN2, PKA, and CREB at 7, 14, and 28 d.p.i (p < 0.05).Conclusion By modulating UCN2, EA can activate the downstream cAMP-PKA signaling pathway. This process improves the presence of astrocytes and microglia around the injury site, inhibits neuronal apoptosis, and increases the number of myelin sheaths and NF. As a result, hind-limb locomotor ability is restored in rats with SCI.

Authors: Shifeta Mekondjo Feinge , Hlongwana Khumbulani 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
No sector was spared from the devastations of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which subjected health workers to unrivalled distressing experiences owing to strained health systems. Despite documented evidence that COVID-19 exacerbated health workers’ mental health challenges in many parts of the world, there are limited qualitative data on how mental health of health workers in Windhoek, were affected. This study explored how the direct care of patients infected with COVID-19 affected the mental wellness of health workers in Windhoek.
Methods
This was a qualitative study using a grounded theory design to purposively recruit and interview health workers until data saturation, which was reached at 21 interviews. The interviews were conducted in English face-to-face, digitally recorded (with participants’ consent), transcribed word-for-word and manually analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
Results
Participants included three medical doctors, nine nurses, three physiotherapists, and six caregivers. Our analysis produced five main themes and twelve subthemes: (i) nature of participants’ COVID-19 experiences (negative experiences and positive experiences); (ii) triggers of mental health challenges (psychological distress, work-related psychosocial factors, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and moral distress); (iii) stress responses (iv) coping strategies (building and nurturing resilience, fulfilment of career obligation and maladaptive coping response); and (v) deterrents to mental health-seeking (stigma and fear of breach of confidentiality, prioritising patient-care over self-care and ignorance, participants’ unawareness of mental health services)
Conclusion
This study provides important insights into the mental health challenges faced by health workers while caring for patients infected with COVID-19 in Windhoek, Namibia. These lessons should be considered when developing psychosocial programmes for staff working in similar contexts.
Turbulent Flow Heat and Mass Transfer of CuO -Water Nano Fluid Through a Square Channel with Heated Inner Triangular Groove
Authors: Baradi Lavanya , Gosukonda Srinivas , Baluguri Suresh Babu 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This study investigates the turbulent flow heat and mass transfer characteristics of CuO–Water nanofluid in a square channel with an inner triangular groove that is continuously heated. By applying a transverse magnetic field, the governing coupled and nonlinear equations are solved using the Galerkin finite element method across various flow regimes, including laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows. The analysis provides comprehensive insights into the effects of different parameters through stream plots and contour plots. The heat transfer rate, represented by the Nusselt number (Nu), is graphically presented for the heated inner triangular groove and thoroughly discussed. Results indicate that the flow rate significantly influences heat transfer, particularly in transitional and turbulent regimes, with notable effects observed in both the upper and lower parts of the channel. Optimal heat transfer is achieved at a 3% concentration of CuO nanoparticles, highlighting the potential for enhanced thermal performance in such configurations.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Classifying scattered Bengali text is the primary purpose of this study. Our study classified Bengali news titles with Machine Learning (ML) models, particularly focusing on LSTM networks. The goal was to categorize Bengali news into labeled categories and contributing to the growing field of NLP for low-resource languages. For classification, some supervised ML models are used and LSTM for sequential learning. However, LSTM scores the highest accuracy of 81.70%. Additionally, we incorporated explainable AI techniques to decipher the model’s predictions, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness in the classification process. Our study demonstrates the potentiality of deep learning models in improving text classification tasks for the Bengali language and highlights the importance of explainability in AI-driven solutions.
A multimodal deep learning method of weld defect detection based on 3D point cloud

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Weld quality inspection is essential in modern manufacturing, requiring the automatic identification, localization, and measurement of defects in industrial environments. Although 2D images and 3D point clouds each have their unique advantages, most current inspection methods focus on only one of these data types. This study proposes a novel system integrating 3D point cloud data with 2D images using PointNet + + and YOLOv5. The 3D point cloud data is mapped into corresponding 2D feature maps and trained separately. Training results show that PointNet + + achieved an accuracy of 98.9% and an IoU of 79.3%, while YOLOv5 achieved an precision of 98.9%, a recall of 97.6%, a mAP@0.5 of 98.8%, and a mAP@0.5:0.95 of 72.2%. By combining the results of both models, the 2D bounding boxes from YOLOv5 are mapped back into 3D space and integrated with PointNet + + results to create 3D bounding boxes. Reassigning the defect point class weights within each 3D bounding box helps resolve issues where PointNet + + might classify points from a single defect into multiple classes. The proposed method in this study demonstrated an improvement on a test set of 100 samples in mIoU from 60.2–63.0% compared to using PointNet + + alone, resulting in effective identification and measurement of spatter, porosity, and burn-through.
Impact of the incorporation of clove and sesame flour in the formulation of dry chicken sausages on their quality during the fermentation stage

Published: August 2024

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of sesame flour and clove on the physico-chemical, colorimetric and structural quality of sausages during their fermentation stage. The results indicated that clove could be used as an antioxidant source in sausages containing sesame flour. The principal component analysis (PCA) applied to the physicochemical and colorimetric data set allowed to clearly differentiate the sausage samples according the fermentation stage and, to a lesser extent, their recipes. This trend was confirmed by factorial discriminant analysis (FDA), since 97.22% of correct overall classification was noted. The PCA applied on the MIR spectra allowed to differentiate the formulations, and 100% of correct classification were obtained following FDA application. The partial least squares regression (PLSR) allowed a very good prediction of the physicochemical parameters from the MIR spectra, since R2 higher than 0.85 was found for the calibration and validation model, respectively.
