Published: February 2024

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mycotoxin that can contaminate a wide variety of foodstuffs such as animal feed. Most of the ingredients used in livestock feed are highly susceptible to contamination, with a propensity to release residues in products intended for human consumption. In the case of the poultry industry, the ingestion of contaminated feed by poultry can lead to alterations in their sanitary and zootechnical performance. It also may cause a food safety problem related to the presence of mycotoxin residues in animal products. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and level of AFB1 in poultry feeds/ingredients used or marketed in the city of Dakar and its suburbs, and to discuss the potential risks to animal and human health. In total, 68 samples of starter, grower, finisher, pullet, and layer feeds and 2 ingredients samples were analysed. The research and quantification of AFB1 were done using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, as described in ISO 14718. The results showed that all (100%) of the samples were contaminated with levels ranging from less than 0.1 ppb to 52.3 ppb in the feeds. The level in ingredients samples were 0.5 and 177.5 ppb respectively for the fish flour and peanut meal. Of all the samples analysed (feeds and ingredients), 5.7% had contamination levels above the allowable limits for poultry feed. Given these results and the threat to public health posed by the increasing consumption of poultry products, it would be judicious to systematically include the research of mycotoxins in raw materials, along with the bromatological analyses used for food formation. Additionally, a study on mycotoxin residues in foodstuff from poultry would be of great interest for the protection of public health and food safety.
Enhancing Power Quality with PDO-FOPID Controller in Unified Power Quality Conditioner for Grid-Connected Hybrid Renewables
Authors: Nagaraju S. , Chandramouli B. 
Published: February 2024

Addressing the pressing research problem of power fluctuations and grid harmonics in the integration of renewable energy, our proposed control strategy utilizes the Prairie Dog Optimization Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (PDO-FOPID) controller within a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) system. This innovative approach is tailored to mitigate harmonics and meet load requirements in grid-connected hybrid renewables. The UPQC system is instrumental in regulating coupling point voltage, countering voltage and current harmonics to enhance overall power quality. The PDO-FOPID controller dynamically adapts control parameters to system dynamics and load changes, ensuring a stable power supply despite the variability of renewable sources. Simulations in MATLAB/ Simulink confirm its superiority over traditional control strategies, such as PI, sliding mode, and fuzzy control, in harmonics mitigation, load fulfilment, and power stability. By effectively addressing these challenges, our proposed solution not only contributes to resolving a critical research problem but also advances the seamless integration of Hybrid Renewable Energy Sources (HRES) into power systems, thereby enhancing overall grid performance and the efficacy of renewable energy integration.

Authors: Abasi-obot I.E. , Kunya A.B. , Shehu G.S. , Jibril Y. 
Published: February 2024

The detection and localization of high impedance faults (HIF) in power systems are challenging due to the low fault current magnitude, which often falls below the detection threshold of conventional devices. HIF events introduce harmonics into the network, posing risks to the safety of connected equipment, including the potential for igniting fire which endangers lives and properties. In this study, Emanuel's HIF model was used to generate HIF signatures resembling real HIF events. Model parameters were adjusted to mimic various contact surface impedances. Two datasets were created: 'no-fault' data, simulating the network without HIF, and 'fault' data, incorporating HIF waveforms by simulating single and multiple lines with the HIF model. The faulted line was divided into five segments along the 33 kV line to capture fault signatures at different locations. The generated data, including current waveforms and magnitudes, were processed and divided into an 80:20 ratio for training, validation, and testing using a deep fully connected Convolutional Neural Network for HIF detection and location. The results showed an impressive accuracy rate of 99.44% and 99.78% for detection and location respectively, representing a significant advancement in HIF detection and location, and offering practical applications for enhancing power line safety.

Published: February 2024

Functional neurological disorder is a condition in which a person experiences physical symptom that cannot be fully explained by a medical condition. In Pakistan, domestic violence as well as emotional, physical and sexual abuse in children are prevalent. Despite legal and social support for victims, stigmatisation regarding seeking psychological help complicates the challenge. Some of the research culminated that patients with fneurological disorder reported high level of sexual abuse and trauma. The symptomatology of functional neurological disorder is being ignored in Asian countries due to indigenous factors like poverty, lack of information on reporting abuse, poor law-enforcement and victim blaming. Functional neurological disorder can be manifested in various ways in the human body, such as blindness, paralysis, dystonia, swallowing difficulties, difficulty walking, motor symptoms affecting limbs,

PurposeDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy. Current diagnostic tests like genetic testing, needle electromyography, and muscle biopsy are either not easily available or invasive, and they are impractical for assessing disease progression and treatment outcomes. Therefore, there is a need for a non-invasive and accurate investigative modality for DMD. In recent years, musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-MSK) along with fractional anisotropy (FA) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have become major non-invasive tools.Material and methodsT1-weighted MRI-MSK and FA measures of DTI of 78 DMD patients were retrospectively studied to identify the distinct pattern of muscle involvement and fatty infiltration as age and/or disease progresses. Correlation analysis was performed between MRI-MSK grade score vs. age, muscle strength, and Vignos scale. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used.ResultsAs age increased, the MRI grade score and Vignos score increased. There was a statistically significant high positive correlation between MRI-MSK grade score and age, and low positive correlation with Vignos scores. With increasing age, the muscle strength on manual muscle testing (MMT) and FA value decreased. There was high negative correlation with muscle strength on MMT and low positive correlation between FA values and MMT score.ConclusionsOn T1-weighted MRI, a distinct pattern, extent, and distribution of lower limb muscle involvement can be seen. MRI-MSK grade score worsens with progressing age, reducing strength, and increasing functional impairment. FA alone may not be an accurate marker in assessing progression of DMD. MRI-MSK and other DTI measures should be further explored as diagnostic and prognostic tools for DMD.
Antikçağ’dan XIX. Yüzyıla Kadar Doğu Akdeniz’de Stratejik Bir Kent: Tarsus (Limanı/İskelesi)

Tarsus tarih boyunca önemli bir tarım, ticaret ve sanayi merkezi olma özelliğini koruyan bir kent konumunda olmuştur. Tarsus’un tarihin her döneminde bir cazibe merkezi haline getiren özellikler kentin kurulduğu yerin mükemmelliği ve Akdeniz’den Anadolu’ya geçişte, önemli bir noktada bulunması olarak sıralanabilir. Tarsus kentine stratejik konumu kazandıran durum ise Tarsus Limanı varlığı olmuştur. Tarsus Limanı eski çağlardan beri Doğu Akdeniz’in en önemli limanı konumunda olmuş ve Tarsus’u Doğu Akdeniz’de parlayan bir yıldız haline getirmiştir. Tarsus’un bu stratejik durumu hem ortaçağ hem de yeniçağ boyunca devam etmiştir. 1516’da Yavuz Sultan Selim tarafından Osmanlı idaresine geçen bu liman kenti uzun yıllar boyunca önemli iktisadî faaliyetlerin görüldüğü bir liman olma özelliğini devam ettirmiştir. Dış ticareti gelişen ve yabancı devletlerle güçlü ticarî bağlantılara ev sahipliği yapan Tarsus, Çukurova’nın dışarı açılan önemli bir kapısı olma özelliğine de sahip olmuştur. Zamanla coğrafî etkenler nedeniyle bu fiziksel konumunu kaybederek bir kara kenti durumuna gelen Tarsus, 1831-1840 yıllarında, bölgenin tarım potansiyelinin keşfedilmesi ve burada bir tarım devriminin yaşanması sonucunda, Tarsus kentinin bölge bakımından tarımsal önemi artarak sürmüştür. Tarımsal potansiyelin yanı sıra, kentin ticarî önemi de hep devam etmiştir. Tarsus İskelesi, bir zamanlar Anadolu’nun önemli ve işlek limanı ve Tarsus şehri bulunduğu bölgenin zengin ve gösterişli bir kentiyken Menderes Nehri’nin taşıdığı alüvyonlar yüzünden limanın önünün tıkanması sebebiyle sahip olduğu önemi zamanla Mersin’e kaptırmıştır.
Bu çalışmada Tarsus kentinin tarihi ve Tarsus Limanı’nın Doğu Akdeniz’de sahip olduğu stratejik konumla birlikte ve burada yapılan faaliyetler üzerinde durulacaktır. Ayrıca bu liman kentinin önemin kaybetmesinin temel nedenleri dönemin kaynakları ışığında analiz edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
