Authors: Hambesha Paul Terkende , Orakpoghenor Ochuko , Abdu Paul Ayuba , Jatau Isa Danladi , Aluwong Tagang 
Published: December 2023

Objectives:
This study evaluated the interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon-gamma (INF-γ), and immunoglobulin Y (IgY) responses in Eimeria tenella-infected broiler chickens pre-administered with the methanol extracts of Ganoderma lucidum, Vernonia amygdalina leaves and Vitellaria paradoxa stem bark.

Material and Methods:
One hundred 1-day-old broiler chicks were obtained, brooded for two weeks, and then randomly divided into 10 groups (A1, B1, C1, D1, A2, B2, C2, D2, E, and F) of 10 birds each. From 14 to 20 days of age (doa), groups A1 and A2 were administered G. lucidum; B1 and B2 V. amygdalina; C1 and C2 V. paradoxa; D1 and D2 Amprolium (100 g/100 L drinking water; while no extract/medication was administered to groups E and F. At 21 doa, groups A2, B2, C2, D2, and E were challenged orally with 104 E. tenella sporulated oocysts. Blood was collected at 14, 21, and 28 doa in labeled plain tubes, and serum was harvested and assayed for IL-10, INF-γ, and IgY levels.

Results:
Results revealed no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the serum IL-10, INF-γ, and IgY levels in all groups of chickens at 14 and 21 doa. At 28 doa, serum IL-10 level was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in B2 and C2 compared to A2, D2, and E. The levels of INF-γ and IgY were not significantly (P > 0.05) higher in B2 and C2 than in A2, D2, and E. The prophylactic administration of G. lucidum, V. amygdalina leaf, and V. paradoxa stem bark methanolic extracts altered changes in the serum IL-10, INF-γ, and IgY levels induced by E. tenella challenge in the broiler chickens.

Conclusion:
The mechanisms involved in these cytokines and IgY responses as a result of the prophylactic administration of these extracts require further investigation.

Published: December 2023

Objectives:
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) constitutes one of the major constraints in the development of the poultry industry, and sporadic outbreaks are still being reported in Nigeria. It is zoonotic, with several reports of human cases. The aim of this study was to determine the trend and distribution of HPAI outbreaks from 2015 to 2022 in Rivers State, Nigeria. Eight-year retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the Avian influenza (AI) line list and case reports of confirmed outbreaks of HPAI in Rivers State from the AI desk office.

Material and Methods:
Data were cleaned, analyzed using descriptive statistics, and presented using tables and figures as appropriate.

Results:
The outcomes showed that a total of 67 HPAI cases were reported in Rivers State from 2015 to 2022, with the highest (64.2%) reported in 2015 and lowest (1.5%) in 2022. Layers were majorly affected. The HPAI cases were reported across 6 Local Government Areas (LGAs), with the highest (71.6% cases) reported in Obio-Akpor and the lowest (1.5%) in Oyigbo and Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni LGAs. Based on the distribution according to LGA and year, HPAI cases were reported in 5 LGAs (Port Harcourt, Obio-Akpor, Ikwerre, Oyigbo and Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni) in 2015, 2 LGAs (Obio-Akpor and Ikwerre) in 2016, 4 LGAs (Port Harcourt, Obio-Akpor, Ikwerre and Okrika) in 2021, and 1 LGA (Obio-Akpor) in 2022.

Conclusion:
The 2015 – 2022 outbreaks of HPAI in Rivers State were reported in six out of the 23 LGAs across Rivers State. Obio-Akpor LGA accounted for the highest-burden of HPAI in the State. There was no report of HPAI from 2017 to 2022 across the State. Intensive surveillance for AI and public awareness on prevention and control across Rivers State is, therefore, recommended with support and motivation from the government.

Published: December 2023

The paper considers and systematises the options of fuel assemblies (FAs) for the WWER-1000 reactor. In the Serpent neutron-physics code, an infinite-height fuel assembly with six fuel pins is modelled using the U49G6 pattern used in the WWER-1000 «large series» fuel assemblies. Variants of fuel elements placement with lower non-uniformity of energy release on fuel assemblies were selected as a result of calculations, and the influence of the number of fuel elements and their placement on reactivity was evaluated. It is shown that gadolinium fuel elements placement in the fourth ring is optimal from the point of view of non-uniformity of fuel energy release and burn-up depth. The influence of the fuel assembly layout on the fuel burnup depth for separate groups of fuel pins is considered. The variant of reduction of computational resources expenditures by means of allocation of the most different in energy release and burnup groups of gadolinium fuel rods is offered. Comparison of the investigated assemblies with the existing U49G6 type fuel assembly is carried out. A method to estimate the underproduction of thermal energy in the fuel assembly associated with the non-uniformity of fuel element burnup in it, while maintaining the maximum burnup depth for individual fuel elements at the level of existing samples is proposed. On the basis of the analysis of the value of underproduction, a variant of improving the configuration of fuel assemblies with six fuel elements is proposed to equalise the field of energy release and reduce unproductive fuel losses. Therefore, enrichment in the first, second and tenth rings of fuel elements, counting from the centre tube of the fuel assembly, can be reduced. As a result of such profiling, the burnup depth of the most burned-out fuel elements in the cassette can be reduced to 1.015 of the average for the fuel assembly.

Reliability and Validity of the 15-Item Remote First Aid Self-Efficacy in French and English
Authors: Gagnon Vincent , Ritchie Stephen , Oddson Bruce , D'Angelo Jonah , Little James , Gosselin Marc 
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The Remote First Aid Self-Efficacy Scale was originally developed as a 30-item self-report instrument designed as an evaluation tool for training providers and a reflection tool for course participants. Remote first aid training courses and programs are designed for remote communities, worksites, and other wilderness contexts involving activities such as recreation, education, and therapy. Self-efficacy refers to the strength of the beliefs a person has in their capacity to organize and take the necessary actions towards any given attainment. The purpose of our study was to measure the reliability and validity of the 15-Item Remote First Aid Self-Efficacy Scale (RFA SES) in French and English populations.
Methods: Alumni from SIRIUSMEDx wilderness first aid courses were invited via email to complete either a French or English online questionnaire at two different time periods (T1 & T2). Data collection involved using online questionnaires containing demographic questions, the 15-Item RFA SES, and the 10-Item Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data analysis involved assessing the scale for internal consistency, test re-test reliability, and concurrent validity.
Results: There were 58 French and 47 English alumni respondents from SIRIUSMEDx courses for a total of 105 respondents. Internal consistency was high amongst the French group (alpha = .95) and the English group (alpha = .92). Test re-test reliability was high amongst the French group, (r = 0.78, p < .01), and the English group (r = .92, p < .01). The correlations between the RFS SES and GSES were positive and moderate in the French group (r = 0.53, p < .01), as well as in the English group (r = 0.32, p = .03).Conclusions: Results from this study suggest that both the French and English 15-Item RFA SES are reliable and valid. This shorter 15-item version is now available for use, along with the original validated 30-Item version of the RFA SES. Future research should focus on validation of the scale in other contexts and populations, using the scale as a participant reflection tool, and using it for evaluation of training programs and courses.

Published: December 2023

This research aims to achieve male sex reversal in Nile Tilapia (Orechromis niloticus) of the red NIFI strain through high-temperature incubation during the embryonic or pre-swimming larval phase. Larvae resulting from the natural mating of red NIFI strain broodstock were incubated under temperature treatments of 31oC, 33oC, 35oC, and a control group (<30oC), each with three replicates. Temperature regulation was facilitated using a heater. During the initial 3 hours of incubation, the heater was turned off for 6 hours, followed by another 3 hours of incubation with the heater on. This pattern was repeated daily until the larvae began to swim. The treated larvae were then reared for 90 days. Thirty specimens from each replicate were identified for gender using the squash acetocarmine method. The study results indicated that temperature differences significantly influenced (p<0.05) the sex ratio of Nile tilapia in the red NIFI strain. The highest proportion of males was achieved at 33oC, at 73.33%, and 35oC, at 64.43%. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in fry survival rates at 7 days and after 90 days of rearing.

GEÇ ORTAÇAĞ’DA KATALAN ÂLİMLERİN İSLÂM TASAVVURU VE MİSYONERLİK FAALİYETLERİ
Authors: ŞANAL Enes 
Published: December 2023

Endülüs’ün 711’de Müslümanlar tarafından fethedilmesini takip eden asırlarda bu coğrafya sekiz asır İslâm, Hristiyanlık ve Yahudilik inançlarına ev sahipliği yaptı. Fetihten sonraki birkaç asırlık süreçte Hristiyanlar arasında görülen yoğun İslâmlaşma sonucunda Müslümanlar, Endülüs toplumunun kahir ekseriyetini teşkil etti. İslâm’ın Avrupa’da ilk kez geniş kitleler tarafından benimsenmesiyle İber Yarımadası’ndaki bazı Hristiyanlar, bu dini Hristiyanlık için açık bir tehdit olarak görmeye başladılar. Endülüs’teki Hristiyanların İslâm kültüründen etkilenmelerini sert bir şekilde tenkit eden Kurtubalı Alvarus (ö. 861) ile başlayan İslâm karşıtı söylem, sonraki asırlarda İber Yarımadası’nda Petrus Alfonsi (ö. 1140), Muhterem Peter (ö. 1156) ve Toledolu Mark (ö. 1216) gibi Hristiyanlar tarafından daha sistematik bir çerçevede devam ettirildi.
Yaklaşık beş asır İslâm idaresi altında kalan Kurtuba, Sevilla ve Murcia gibi Endülüs şehirlerinin XIII. asırda Hristiyanların eline geçmesiyle bölgede dinler arası temaslar kaçınılmaz olarak yoğunlaştı. Geç Ortaçağ’da İslâm’ın bir tehdit olarak algılandığı Hristiyan İspanya’daki bazı Katalan âlimler, Müslümanları Hristiyanlığa davet etmek konusunda özel gayret sarf ettiler. Onlar, Müslümanların Hristiyanlığı benimsemeleri için birtakım argümanlar ortaya koymakla kalmayıp siyasi, askeri, dini ve kültürel konularda Hristiyan Batı’da daha önce görülmemiş yeni yöntemler geliştirdiler.
Bu çalışma Geç Ortaçağ’ın Katalanca ve Latince kaynakları ışığında devrin en önemli Katalan âlimlerinden Ramon Peñafort (ö. 1275), Ramon Martí (1292), Ramon Llull (ö. 1316) ve Francesc Eiximenis’in (ö. 1409) İslâm tasavvurlarını ve misyonerlik faaliyetlerini tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Böylece bahsi geçen Katalan âlimlerin İslâm tasavvurlarının kendilerinden önce yaşayıp İslâm karşıtı fikirleriyle öne çıkan dindaşlarından ne gibi benzer ve farklı özelliklere sahip olduğu da ortaya koyulacaktır.
