Аннотация: Задачи профилактики, диагностики и лечения ЖДА являются чрезвычайно актуальными и приоритетными для здравоохранения многих стран мира, в том числе и в Узбекистане. целью настоящей научной работы явилось проследить динамику терапевтической эффективности витаминно-минерального комплекса «биоферрон» и других железосодержащих препаратов у девочек-подростков с различной степенью тяжести дефицита железа. Материал и методы: Объектом исследования явилось 177 девочки-подростки в возрасте 12–14 лет, соответственно с ЛДЖ (45), ЖДА легкой степени (56) и средней степени тяжести (25) и контрольная группа (51). Исходным материалом для определения количества школьников города Андижана послужил списочный состав (алфавитный) учащихся в возрасте 7–14 лет (12000). Из этого числа учащихся с помощью таблицы Брэдфорда отобраны 1200 детей в возрасте 7–14 лет (10%-ная выборка). Были использованы общеклинические, инструментальные, биохимические и статистические методы обработки полученных результатов. Результаты и обсуждения: к концу периода насыщения уровень Hb статистически достоверно увеличивался во всех группах наблюдения (<0,001). прослеживается закономерность, что чем тяжелее степень тяжести ДЖ, тем и интенсивнее прибавка Hb за период насыщения организма железом. Если к концу периода насыщения у девочек с ЛДЖ при лечении Биофероном прибавка Hb составила в среднем 7,0 г/л, то этот показатель для ЖДА I и II степени составил 27,0 и 33,6 г/л (<0,001) соответственно. При назначении препарата Феррум-Лек прибавка Hb в группах ЛДЖ, ЖДА I и II степени тяжести составил соответственно 4,8, 29,1 и 36,5 г/л, а при сочетанном применении Биоферрона и Феррум-Лек соответственно 5,9, 27,7 и 35,4 г/л (р<0,01). Выводы: изолированное применение препарата «Биоферрон» более эффективно при коррекции относительно легких форм ДЖ (ЛДЖ). При I и II степенях тяжести ЖДА у девочек-подростков эффективность проводимой терапии значительно улучшается при сочетанном применении Биоферрон и Феррум-Лек, чем данные обеих препаратов, примененные в изолированном порядке.
Application of Dimension Reduction Methods for Stress Detection

Published: December 2023

Effective detection of stress situations plays an important role in combating it. This is the main source of motivation for research to identify and evaluate different psychological conditions. Different monitor signals are used to identify individuals' stress situations in daily life. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are the main component used to detect stress and depression. The long-term acquisition of this signals partially interrupts daily life and negatively affects it. Researchers are trying to develop wearable technologies that can eliminate this disadvantage. In this study, stress situations are detected utilizing different sensors without EEG signals. The achievements of three different classification methods for different dimensional feature spaces have been compared. The effects of the feature selection and dimension reduction methods on the system performance have been analyzed. During the dimension reduction process, Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR), Anova, Chi-2, Relieff, Kruskal Wallis (KW) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods are implemented. Support Vector Machines (SVM), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) methods are used as classifiers. The best performance is achieved with 96.2 % accuracy in 15-dimensional by using LDA and PCA methods together.

Published: December 2023

Reducing the PV panel temperature significantly increases the PV panel efficiency. The most important parameters affecting the temperature of the PV panel are; environmental temperature, wind speed, sunbathing time, and irradiation. Although there are many methods for PV panel cooling, one of the most common methods is to cool the panel by placing PCM material on the PV panel's bottom surface. In this study, PV/PCM integration under different boundary conditions was investigated with a 1-D mathematical model. In the study, environmental conditions were determined using real meteorological data, and the results were shared for four seasons. The mathematical model was performed for the conventional PV model, the PV/PCM integrated model, and the integrated PV/PCM which the base is kept at a constant temperature. As a constant temperature value, 10, 15, and 20 oC were chosen. The results were analyzed in terms of PV temperature, PCM melting rate, electricity production, energy absorbed by PCM, and thermal and electrical efficiency. If the annual performances are examined, the maximum electricity production is 263000 kW for the case where the PV/PCM base is kept constant at 10 degrees, and this value is 1200 kW higher than the traditional PV panel. The maximum absorbed energy by PCM was obtained as 26990 kW for the PV/PCM integration.

Introduction: oral cancer is one of the top ten locations of cancer incidence in the world and in Cuba. Objective: develop a community intervention for the promotion and prevention of premalignant lesions and oral cancer in patients aged 19-59 years. Method: community intervention with experimental design, with pre-test, post-test and control group, in clinics 1, 3 and 24 belonging to the three polyclinics of the Isle of Youth in the period 2017-2019. The sample was 1300 patients distributed in the three offices, being probabilistic, simple random. An experiment group and a control group were determined for each office, made up of the same number of patients. Theoretical, empirical and mathematical-statistical methods were used and the variables: age groups, sex, risk factors, oral hygiene and level of knowledge about premalignant lesions and oral cancer. Results: the age group of 35-59 years predominated for 71,7 % and the female sex for 63,7 % in the studied sample. Before the intervention, a bad level of knowledge predominated, representing 43,7 % of the experimental group, managing to raise it too good after the intervention by 67,5 %, reducing the risk factors initially detected. Conclusions: the use of new information and communication technologies in promotion and prevention activities contributed to raising the level of knowledge about premalignant lesions and oral cancer, the main risk factors and oral self-examination, and to transforming the ways of performance

Introduction: speech and language therapist services has been extensively described. However, in Chile the evolution and characteristics of these services at hospital level and especially during the last years (pre and post COVID-19) are unknown. The exploration of these data could contribute to the development of strategies and decision making at the local level. Objective: to determine the evolution and characteristics of speech and language therapist services between the years 2015-2022 in a Chilean high complexity hospital. Methods: by means of a quantitative, transectional and descriptive design, 96 databases corresponding to the Monthly Statistical Records (REM) between January 2015 and December 2022 were reviewed. The variables analyzed were: number of initial and intermediate evaluations, hospital rehabilitation sessions, home rehabilitation and procedures-activities performed. Results: an oscillating increase in the number of speech and language therapist services performed between 2015-2022 was observed. Preference is given to hospital rehabilitation sessions (95,626 services) followed by initial evaluations (11,550). By specific area, the highest number of benefits was obtained by swallowing rehabilitation (22,594), while individual and group auditory rehabilitation only presented 7 and 11 records respectively. Conclusions: the analysis of the REM exhibits an incremental evolution of the registry of speech and language therapist services, especially since the last three years (2020 onwards), this despite the fluctuations observed during the previous years (2015-2019). This increase would be directly related to the increase in the hiring of professionals, improvement of supplies and equipment, incorporation of the speech therapist to pathologies with explicit health guarantees (GES) and the need for professional staffing due to the COVID-19 contingency

Published: December 2023

The ever-increasing demand for alternatives to fossil fuel due to its negative impacts on the environment and high prices have resulted in the search for feedstock for bioethanol production. Cassava is one of the major staple foods that is processed into various preservative forms in Nigeria, while tacca is a plant growing in the wild and is eaten by a few people during scarcity of food. Unpeeled cassava and tacca tubers were processed into flour. The flour was hydrolyzed using Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, separately. The bioethanol potentials of tuber flours were evaluated using a single-step process. Hydrolysis of 10g of cassava tuber flour separately by Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae produced (g/100mL) 0.720 and 0.765 of sugar, respectively, while hydrolysis of 10g of tacca tuber flour separately by Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae produced (g/100mL) 0.392 and 0.367 of sugar respectively. Evaluation of the effect of time during hydrolysis of cassava tuber flour for 24h by Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae separately produced (g/100mL) 1.44 and 0.737 of sugar, while hydrolysis of tacca tuber flour for 24h produced (g/100mL) 0.768 and 0.493 of sugar. Evaluation of the effect of varying pH values during hydrolysis of the tuber flours revealed that pH 5.6 produced the highest concentration of sugar (0.240g/100mL) and (0.803g/100mL) when Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were separately used to hydrolyze cassava tuber flour. When Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were separately used to hydrolyze tacca tuber flour at pH 5.6, 0.626g and 0.436g of sugar was produced. Fermentation of cassava tuber flour by mixed culture of Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 48h produced 3.851%(w/v) bioethanol at 24h of fermentation, while fermentation of tacca tuber flour by mixed culture of Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae produced 3.236% (w/v) bioethanol at 48h. Cassava tuber flour produced a higher concentration of bioethanol than tacca tuber flour. These results have shown that tacca tuber is a potential feedstock for bioethanol production, hence exploitation of nonfood materials such as tacca tuber for bioprocesses can reduce the over _dependence on cassava tuber.

Dandruff is characterized by patches of loosely attached flakes on the scalp, which are generally accompanied by irritation. malassezia species of the genus restricta and globossa, Staphylococcus species of the genus aureus, and Bacteria of the genus Propiobacterium are components of human skin microflora and etiological agents of dandruff. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dandruff, Isolation and identification of the pathogens causing the dandruff infection among secondary school students in Katsina State. The study was a cross-sectional survey conducted with the permission of seven local government areas, namely: Katsina, Funtua, Mani, Kankia, Malunfashi, Dutsin-ma, and Daura. According to the prevalence studies of the selected LGAs, Kankia and Mani Local Governments had the highest prevalence rates of 14.81% and 14.65%, respectively, followed by Daura, Malunfashi, and Funtua with 14.49%, 14.33%, and 14.01%. Dutsinma and Katsina had the lowest prevalence rates, of 13.85% and 13.85%, respectively. Males (51%) were more affected than females (49%), out of the 420 people polled. The prevalence by age shows that the age group 11-20 years has the highest incidence of dandruff infection, with 58.83%, followed by the age groups 1-10 years, with 21.88%, and 21-30 years, with 8.27%. The socioeconomic position of the individuals studied was found to be a risk factor for the occurrence of this disease. The prevalence of dandruff was highest in villages, followed by towns, with 58% and 42%, respectively. To prevent the spread of this disease, the researchers recommend sterilizing barbing and weaving materials.

Invasive or alien species are increasing in number, extent, and influence worldwide. They are both passengers and drivers of change, and they interact synergistically with many other facets of global change. The Neem trees have been grown successfully in all parts of Nigeria. Neem has become an invasive and naturalized species in various parts of Nigeria in quite diverse ecological and climatic conditions. The tree is adaptable to a wide range of climatic and topographic conditions. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of neem invasion on the growth of indigenous flora in Katsina state. The information on farmers' perception about Neem tree was obtained using semi semi-structured questionnaire. About 200 informants were interviewed. Direct counting of trees was conducted to determine the effect of Neem invasion on the indigenous flora. A total of 58 species of trees belonging to 47 genera within 15 families, of which family Fabaceae has the highest number of tree species, 44 affected by neem invasion in the study area. The result showed the effects of having neem in the farms. Some of the respondents believed that Neem spread easily and nothing grew near it. Others believed that it's difficult to kill and grow back easily. The result indicated a number of tree species found in farms compared to the number of farmers needed for that tree. A lot of farmers preferred indigenous trees then Neem in their farms. In conclusion, in Katsina and from casual observations in the study areas, we have found that Neem is spreading in a way characteristic of an invasive species. They are spread by birds and other animals, becoming numerous under native trees. The trees themselves may become 'weeds. Since farmers in Katsina do not like Neem in their fields, it can be considered a weed, and because it can reproduce in large quantities at a considerable distance from the parent plant, it is, by definition, an invasive plant.

Published: December 2023

A number of new, upgraded, generalized, and extended distribution families have recently been developed to improve the distribution's applicability in a wider domain. The Type I Half Logistics-Topp Leone G family of distribution, otherwise known as (the TIHLTL-G) distribution family, was developed as a new generalized distribution family. Explicit expression, moment generating function, moments, probability weighted moment, hazard function, survival function, quantile function, and order statistics were also derived for the novel family. The exponential distribution was employed as a sub-model, and the novel distribution family provided great flexibility towards some sets of data. The methods of parameter estimation adopted are maximum likelihood (MLE) and maximum products of spacing (MPS) methods. Two data sets were examined, and simulation studies were conducted to exemplify the potential application and adaptability of the novel model compared with some of its existing counterparts. The MPS tends to perform better than the MLE in estimating the model parameters when the sample size is very small, but both did perform excellently when the sample sizes are moderate and large, as obtained in the simulation study. However, both methods of estimation of parameters support the novel model (TIHLTL-G) family of distribution through Akaike information and Bayesian information criterion as the best model.

Published: December 2023

The study aimed to determine heavy metals Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb concentration from soil and tomato plants (root stem and fruits) produced from Ajiwa Fadama farm. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a vegetable cultivated in Ajiwa fadama sites and is also commonly consumed in Katsina and Nigeria at large. Heavy metal concentrations from soil and tomato plants were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The results of heavy metal revealed that lead (Pb) has the highest concentration, followed by Zn, Cu and Ni as the lowest in both soil and plant parts. However, the concentration of all examined heavy metals in the soils and tomato plants was lower than the permissible values approved by FAO/WHO except for lead (Pb), which has a higher concentration above the permissible limits of 0.3 ppm. The findings of this study indicate possible exposure to lead by the consumers in the sampling area. Further studies are recommended to analyze the heavy metals of irrigation water and organic and inorganic fertilizers used
