Abstract
The species composition, abundance and distribution of sea cucumbers in the intertidal zone of Cab-ilan Island, Dinagat, Dinagat Islands, Philippines were assessed using a transect quadrat method, with a size of 1x1 meter, on a transect line with a length of 80 meters. Sampling was done at the two identified stations in three replicates. A total of 10 species were found namely Holothuria scabra, H. leucospilota, H. fuscopunctata, H. hilla, H. fuscocinerea, H. pervicax, Actinopyga echinites, A. mauritiana, A. miliaris and Bohadschia marmorata. The most abundant species found were the Holothuria scabra, H. hilla and Actinopyga echinites. A. echinites was the only common species found in both stations. Results revealed that there was no significant difference in salinity between stations (P>0.05). However, species diversity, temperature and pH differ significantly in Cab-ilan Islands (P<0.05). The Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (nMDS) based on square-root transformed abundance data showed that a clear segregation of samples between two stations. Cluster analysis also revealed that there is no close relationship of the samples between Station 1 and Station 2. SIMPER analysis also showed that there was a high dissimilarity percentage in both stations. Some species of sea cucumbers and their distribution were influenced by physico-chemical parameters such as pH and temperature.
Muscle Fatigue Analysis and Stress Detection from Surface EMG and ECG Data Obtained Using Deep Learning for Upper-Limb Trauma Rehabilitation
Authors: Kebede Emnet 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
The repetitive nature of physical rehabilitation may result in excess muscular fatigue, which can adversely impact an individual's motor function, leading to discomfort or even physical injury. Moreover, individuals who have experienced trauma tend to encounter difficulties concentrating, which can significantly impede their physical capabilities. Regrettably, existing therapeutic approaches do not appear to consider the potential mental exhaustion of patients. This study aimed to create a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) model for assessing muscle fatigue stage and mental stress conditions during physical rehabilitation of trauma-injured patients.
Methods
Data corresponding to 188 EMG signals and 223 ECG signals were collected from the Jimma University physiotherapy clinic and prepared for signal processing. Since the 4th-order Butterworth filter performs better than the other filters, it was chosen to denoise the data. The data were then split at a ratio of 60:20:20 to train, validate, and test the data. Finally, the developed Bi-LSTM model was deployed.
Results
The Bi-LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 95% for multiclass muscle fatigue classification, and 97% accuracy was achieved for the binary classification of mental stress. The GUI provides a setting appropriate for routine model usage.
Conclusion
The results indicate that monitoring the muscle condition and mental status of traumatized patients can be performed in a clinical setting for effective physical rehabilitation.
Effect of hydrological variability on suspended sediment load at a river junction: a case study
Authors: Khanam Nabina , Biswal Sushant Kumar 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Confluences act as crucial intersection in a fluvial system as they regulate the flow, sediment, and geomorphological stability. Two of the natural occurrences that have an effect on hydro-morphological processes that characterize the channel are sediment movement and stream discharge. However, assessments of suspended sediment distribution patterns across channel confluences and functions of tributaries on sediment transfer in downstream streams are still inadequately explored. To fulfil this, a year-long field investigation was conducted around river confluence at various time scales during the hydrological season. The bathymetry of the confluence was performed using digital echo-sounding equipment, electro-magnetic current meter, and differential global positioning equipment. This study uses in situ measurement and empirical techniques to quantify the spatiotemporal distribution of suspended sediment particles. Furthermore, Yang's formula was used to analyze the sediment concentration, and several statistical standards were employed to establish a differentiation between predicted and observed data. The results illustrated that a good agreement has been achieved among the calculated and measured statistics based on the correlation coefficient value. According to the findings, 8% fewer errors in the quantification of suspended sediment were induced in the tributary than in the main river because of the very low flow of the tributary. The present ramifications can help increase our database and understanding of the dynamics of major river confluences.

Published: February 2024

Objective: Virulence factors are substances produced by pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa that contribute significantly to the etiology of disease. These virulence factors are encoded by virulence genes found on the Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosome.
Methods: Between July 2021 and June 2022, 71 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were identified from burn wounds at the Burn and Plastic Surgery Hospital in Duhok, Iraq. The lasB and toxA genes were identified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
Results: Only 26.36% (29/71) of the 71 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were found in males, whereas 38.18% (42/71) were found in females. Furthermore, 76.06% (54/71) of the isolates were multidrug resistant. They demonstrated greater resistance to piperacillin, 98.59% resistance rates. Among the isolates analyzed, 35 (64.81%) were positive for toxA and 27 (50%) were positive for lasB genes.
Conclusion: Due to the limited number of effective medications against this bacteria that are currently available, all isolates must undergo antimicrobial susceptibility testing. By doing this, you can help manage the treatment plan and stop the emergence of resistance in burn units.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Soybean meal (SBM) is a significant source of protein for poultry due to its high concentration of protein and amino acids profile. The primary objective of SBM processing is the reduction and deactivation of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) to enhance nutrient digestibility. However, eliminating ANFs does not necessarily correlate with increased protein and amino acid content. Several processing methods, such as soaking, cooking, and commercial techniques, improve SBM protein digestibility. To sustain feeding qualities, soybeans must undergo heating to remove inherent chemicals that interfere with poultry digestion. However, both under and over-processing can impair meal digestibility. Extrusion heating significantly contributes to protein and starch digestibility while reducing certain ANFs. Thermomechanical and enzyme-assisted procedures reduce heat-resistant proteins more efficiently than extraction methods, producing soy protein concentrate (SPC) and fermentation. These techniques reduce ANFs in SBM, activating digestive enzymes and alleviating digestive tract pressure, leading to decreased endogenous protein deficits. Exogenous enzyme supplementation is a biotechnological approach for enhancing the nutritional content of SBM and certain other protein-rich products. However, different processing methods not only affect protein digestibility but also impact poultry production, gastrointestinal health, and the environment due to higher nitrogen excrement. Ammonia (NH3) emissions are a significant environmental concern in chicken farming, resulting from uric acid production during protein consumption. It has a negative impact on the environment and the health of birds/humans. This review investigates the impact of several processing techniques on the digestibility of SBM protein and the reduction of N2 regarding one health concept. Future research should focus on identifying optimal processing methods maximizing protein digestibility while minimizing environmental nitrogen impacts.

Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Liver Disease (MASLD) represents a spectrum of conditions from simple fat accumulation to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. The possible role of the intestinal microbiome on MASLD development has been in focus. Our study aimed to examine the effects of synbiotics on the liver steatosis, inflammation, and stool microbiome.
Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted involving 84 MASLD patients, defined by an elastometric attenuation coefficient (ATT) greater than 0.63 dB/cm/MHz with an alanine aminotransferase level above 40 U/L for men and 35 U/L for women. The patients were divided into an intervention group treated with a synbiotic with 64x109 CFU of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and 6.4g of inulin and a control group treated with a placebo.
Results: Using synbiotics for 12 weeks significantly decreased liver steatosis (ΔATT -0.006±0.023 vs -0.016±0.021 dB/cm/MHz, p=0.046). The group of patients treated with synbiotics showed a significant decrease in the level of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (Δhs-CRP 0 vs -0.7 mg/L, p≤0.001). Synbiotics enriched the microbiome of patients in the intervention group with the genera Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium, and Streptococcus, by 81%, 55%, 51%, and 40%, respectively, with a reduction of Ruminococcus and Enterobacterium by 35% and 40%. Synbiotic treatment significantly shortened the gut transition time (ΔGTT -5h vs. -10h, p=0.031).
Conclusion: Synbiotics could be an effective and safe option that could have place in MASLD treatment.

In the construction of residential buildings such as simple houses, the existence of a door is certainly a basic requirement that must exist. One of the criteria of a good door is weather resistance by having a good door leaf material, not easily weathered and also not easy to shrink (expand or bend). Generally, doors are made using wood materials because they add aesthetic value to the building construction with a variety of grain patterns and unique textures from wood. But on the other hand, the forest current condition as a source of wood production is increasingly concerning. This also has an impact on good quality wood which is difficult to obtain and increasingly expensive. Technological developments in the field of construction materials provide an alternative from the usage of door leaf materials which majority using wood materials to switch to alternative materials usage such as steel, glass, PVC and lightweight concrete. The usage of lightweight concrete began to be widely used as a door leaf material because it is more resistant to weather, has a stable size and is not weathered by termites. From an economical standpoint, the price of lightweight concrete doors is relatively cheaper compared to the price of wooden doors with equivalent specifications. The purpose of this Community Service activity is to increase public understanding, to provide knowledge about alternative wooden door as well as providing examples of alternative materials, namely lightweight concrete doors with wood texture and environmental friendliness. The used method consists of several stages, namely socialization of the development of the construction material technology, installing lightweight concrete panel doors in the Bendung Serang sub-district and showing the installation process and making of lightweight concrete panel doors through videos and photos showcase. The benefits specifically for the people in the Bendung sub-district is that the innovation of this lightweight concrete panel door material is acceptable. This community service activity has educated the public about technological innovations in construction material such as alternative materials.
