Authors: TOKO YEMIN , SAHA BISWARUP 
Published: January 2025

This study delved into fish consumer behavior and constraints faced by them in Kolkata, by collecting data from 200 fish buyers during December 2021 to February 2022. Findings revealed that the consumers mainly reside in nuclear families (54%), with men (83%) as primary buyers, typically over 45 years old with an annual income of Rs. 3-5 lakhs. Private sector employment is common among the fish buyers who buy buy fish twice a week, averaging 7 kg monthly. Among the constraints, price fluctuation (RBQ value 80.88) is the most important for Local Carps (LC) fish group. For other choice fish groups (CFG’s) availability (77.94), high price (79.94), price fluctuation (76.33), irregular supply are major constrains affecting the purchasing while buying Inter-state carps, (ISC), Local Non-carps (LNC), Interstate Non-Carps (ISNC), and Small Indigenous fish (SIF), respectively.

Published: January 2025

A new agricultural production system has to be implemented to meet the food demands of the future global population. Consequently, it is vital to select cropping systems, methods, and technologies based on the agro-climatic characteristics of the region to maximize productivity and produce sustainable output without damaging the environment. Aquaponics is a method that mixes aquaculture with agriculture to produce sustainable quantities of fish and vegetables. This review article explains aquaponics as a system for sustainable food production alternatives, including the evolution of aquaponics, its components, the biotic stresses involved, the designing of aquaponics, the optimum conditions required, deficiency symptoms of plants grown in an aquaponics system, and future aquaponics research requirements. Materials and procedures: A comprehensive and methodical examination of the published publications was performed using Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and NAAS-indexed journals. Despite having lower nutrient concentrations, aquaponic plants serve nearly as well as hydroponic plants, according to a study of the two approaches. Differences in product quality were observed, as aquaponics provided a more consistent nutrient delivery than hydroponics, according to several research studies. Therefore, aquaponics is a field that necessitates additional research to improve the current setup and sustain global agricultural productivity.
Guiding Children Through Self-Learning Modules (SLM): Exploring Parents' Experiences
Authors: Ramirez Marilou , Naparan Janus , Naparan Genesis 
Published: January 2025

Parents have to take over the challenges in teaching children during the pandemic. This phenomenon became instrumental and significant as the education system tried to overcome the temporary suspension of face-to-face classes by adopting distance learning. This qualitative case study explored parents' experiences in teaching their children at home. The researchers interviewed 12 kindergarten parents who taught their children at home using self learning modules (SLM). Based on the results, the parents' experiences centered on their roles as learning facilitators, their encountered challenges, and their strategies to manage them. Regardless of the educational attainment of kindergarten parents, they experienced difficulties in their new involvement in their child's learning. On the other hand, some perceived their new role as a rewarding job and treated their children as their motivation to teach them using self-learning modules. The study recommends the need to intensify the capacity-building of parents to help them facilitate their children's learning with ease.

Authors: Candilas Kurt , Agcito Melody , Escalona Salome 
Published: January 2025

COVID-19 pandemic transformed the way how Higher Education Institutions deliver the teaching and learning process in an online modality. This phenomenological study inquired the lived experiences and the contexts of graduate school students' silence in online learning during the pandemic. Transcendental research design following Moustakas's Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen process was utilized to generate the emerging themes and essence of the study's findings. Eight graduate school students from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Northern Mindanao were selected as participants through purposive sampling. Analysis of data revealed that silence for graduate school students means emotional exhaustion and lack of academic preparedness due to physical, cognitive, and affective factors in online classes. It reflects their struggles in online learning which is the essence of silence. Silence in online learning without these struggles cannot become an experience of silence. Furthermore, their experiences of silence are diverse depending on how they are shaped or reshaped by their current contexts. As the study speaks a volume of unfavorable insights on the meaning of silence, an intervention on students' well-being may be proposed to foster a positive disposition in an online learning environment.

Eksklusi Sosial dan Kerentanan Pra-Kerja Para Pekerja Kontrak Di Kawasan Industri Makassar
Authors: Nur Adhi Rakhmat 
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui eksklusi sosial dan kerentanan pekerja kontrak di Kawasan Industri Makassar. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Metode utama dalam pengumpulan data adalah wawancara. Selain itu juga dilakukan observasi untuk melihat kondisi kerja para informan dan pengumpulan data sekunder yang dapat membantu. Penentuan informan dilakukan dengan purposive sampling dengan jumlah informan yaitu 7 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para informan sudah mengalami eksklusi sosial bahkan sejak mencari kerja. Eksklusi sosial ini terjadi karena dipengaruhi oleh beberapa kondisi informan yaitu tingkat pendidikan yang rendah, keterampilan terbatas, saluran informasi kerja sedikit, pengetahuan dan pengalaman tentang hak dan perjanjian kerja yang sedikit, hingga tersedianya cadangan pekerja yang melimpah. Kondisi-kondisi tersebut menyebabkan eksklusi sosial karena para informan memiliki nilai tawar yang rendah serta perjanjian kerja yang tidak seimbang antara mereka dengan perusahaan selaku pemberi kerja. Dua hal inilah yang akhirnya menjadi faktor penyebab eksklusi sosial. Nilai tawar yang rendah membuat para informan tidak punya banyak pilihan pekerjaan, sementara perjanjian kerja yang tidak seimbang menyebabkan eksploitasi (upah minim, beban kerja besar, jam kerja berlebih) terjadi.

Bael (Aegle marmelos) is a commonly used medicinal and nutraceutical plant. Its leaves, fruits, stem, and roots have traditionally been used for a variety of medical purposes, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiarrheal, antidiabetic, antiproliferative, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antihyperlipidemic, antiasthmatic, and antiulcer qualities. In addition to conventional diet and medical interventions, identifying nutritious foods with potential functional benefits is critical to preventing metabolic problems. The purpose of current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Bael Fruit powder in the management of hypercholesterolemia in human male subjects. For this purpose the Bael fruit powder was firstly analyzed for the its chemical and phytochemical composition which showed that Bael Fruit powder contains following proximate content Moisture (1.84 ± 0.030)%, Dry matter (85.13 ± 0.06)%, Nitrogen (1.35 ± 0.02)%, Crude protein (2.21 ± 0.02)%, Crude Ash (1.52 ± 0.04)%, Crude fiber (8.21 ± 0.04)% and crude fat (2.16 ± 0.04)%.along with the appreciable amount of minerals like magnesium (28.73 ± 0.4), calcium (200.9 ± 0.2), potassium (175.9 ± 1.01) respectively. Furthermore, to check its hypercholesremic effect the hypercholesterolemic human male subjects were divided into the experimental and control group in the basis of their inclusion and exclusion criteria. The experimental groups (G1 and G2) were given Bael fruit powder capsules of 2g/day/kg/bw to the G1 group and 4g/day/kg/bw to the G2 group for the period of 60 days. Significant reductions in lipid profiles were observed in both the experimental group and G2. Notably, the 4g/kg/bw dosage demonstrated greater reduction compared to the control group by the end of the trial. The study concluded Bael Fruit powder exhibits anti-hypercholesterolemic properties and holds promise as a therapeutic option for managing cardiovascular complications.
Exploring 3D Modeling for Enhanced Visualization and Analysis of Pediatric Pelvic Ring Fractures: A Pilot Study
Authors: Purtell Sarah Rose , Goodrum Jayme , Martini Ruby , Sanders Julia 
Published: January 2025

Introduction Pediatric pelvic fractures are high energy injuries that present substantial treatment challenges due to their propensity for plastic deformation, complex fracture patterns, and lack of consensus on surgical indications. There is potential for negative long-term outcomes in patients with residual deformity, but our understanding of acceptable alignment is limited. Plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) are frequently employed for pre- and post-operative assessment of injury patterns, but are limited to two-dimensional analysis. Three dimensional (3D) modeling offers an opportunity for improved assessment of pelvic anatomy. Methods Two pediatric patients who sustained unstable pelvic ring injuries requiring operative fixation, with both pre- and post-operative CT scans, were identified from an existing IRB-approved trauma database. Utilizing 3D Slicer, 3D segmentations were rendered from DICOM data and specific landmarks were identified to calculate deformity pre- and post-operatively including displacement at the sacroiliac (SI) joints, pubic symphysis, and iliac crest. A modified Keshishyan deformity index was also calculated. Mesh overlay was performed using Autodesk Maya in x, y and z planes to provide visual representation of post-operative changes. Results 3D renderings successfully illustrated complex pelvic fractures in a 9 year old female and 12 year old. Measurements made on 3D models showed similar improvements in diastasis and symmetry to measurements made in standard 2D imaging, but with generally smaller magnitudes. Graphic overlap allow for sophisticated representation of improvement in deformity. Measurements on plain radiographs and 2D CT differed from 3D measurements by anywhere from 0.1 mm to 6.7 mm. Conclusion This proof-of-concept pilot study demonstrates that 3D renderings enhance the ability to measure displacement and deformity in pediatric pelvic trauma for both pre-operative planning and post-operative evaluation. Future applications of this technology include evaluation of pelvic deformity remodeling after trauma in both operative and non-operatively treated pediatric patients.

В статье приведены результаты определения активности диабаз-порфиритового отсева (ДПО), образующегося при фракционировании строительного щебня и используемого в качестве минеральной добавки. Исследовано влияние ДПО на физико-механические свойства и морозостойкость растворов и бетонов на основе содержащих его цементов. Показано, что при вводе в цемент до 30 % ДПО морозостойкость композиционных материалов на его основе выше, чем при вводе равного количества минеральных добавок, полученных из пород осадочного происхождения.
The paper presents the results of determination of activity of diabase-porphyritic rock fines (DPF), which is formed during grading of crushed stone and used as a mineral additive. The influence of DPF on physical and mechanical properties and frost resistance of mortars and concretes based on cements containing it has been investigated. It is shown that when up to 30 % of DPF is added to cement, the frost resistance of composite materials based on it is higher than when an equal amount of mineral additives obtained from rocks of sedimentary origin is added.

Non-road spark ignition (SI) engines play a critical role in Nigeria, particularly in agriculture, construction, and small-scale power generation. Despite their extensive use, there is limited research on how Nigeria's unique environmental and operational conditions such as high ambient temperatures, poor fuel quality, and irregular maintenance practices affect the performance of these engines. This study presents a theoretical analysis of the performance characteristics of non-road SI engines under Nigerian conditions, focusing on fuel efficiency, power output, thermal efficiency, and emissions. The effect of engine speed, engine load and equivalence ratio on the performance characteristics of non-road spark ignition engines were studied in this research. Three operating parameters (engine load, engine speed, and equivalence ratio) and eight engine performance parameters which are Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Brake Power (BP), Thermal Efficiency (TE), Brake Mean Effective Pressure, Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), carbon monoxide emission, hydrocarbon emission, and nitrogen oxide were considered in this work. Theoretical analysis was performed using a two-zone SI engine model, the resulting equations were solved with the aid of a computer program developed by the authors and implemented in MATLAB software. The effect of the operating parameters on the performance parameters was simulated using the computer code developed which was implemented in MATLAB. The results show that the engine speed of 3000 rpm gave the optimum values of 250 g/kWh, 33 kW, 1070 kPa, 28% and 720 oC for BSFC, BP, BMEP, TE, and EGT respectively. Also, all performance parameters increased with an increase in engine load. The equivalence ratio of 0.9 gave the optimum values for all the parameters considered in this work. It can be concluded that for optimum performance of non-road SI engines, it should be operated at equivalence ratio of 0.9, engine speed of 3000 rpm and low engine loads.

Published: July 2023

AbstractCombining anti‐cancer drugs has been exploited as promising treatment strategy to target lung cancer. Synergistic chemotherapies increase anti‐cancer effect and reduce effective drug doses and side effects. In this study, therapeutic potential of escin in combination with sorafenib has been explored. 3‐(4,5‐Dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2 5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was used to calculate IC50 values. The synergy was evaluated using Chou–Talaly algorithm. Cellular reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential, annexin V, and cell‐cycle studies were done by flow‐cytometer, and autophagy biomarkers expression were determined using western blotting. Moreover, autophagy was knocked down using ATG5 siRNA to confirm its role, diethylnitrosamine‐induced lung cancer model was used to check the synergy of sorafenib/escin. Escin significantly reduced the IC50 of sorafenib in A549 and NCIH460 cells. The combination of sorafenib/escin produced a 2.95 and 5.45 dose reduction index for sorafenib in A549 and NCI‐H460 cells. The combination of over‐expressed p62 and LC3‐II reflects autophagy block‐mediated late apoptosis. This phenomenon was reconfirmed by ATG5 knockdown. This combination also selectively targeted G0/G1 phase of cancer cells. In in vivo study, the combination reduced tumour load and lower elevated serum biochemical parameters. The combination of sorafenib/escin synergistically inhibits autophagy to induce late apoptosis in lung cancer cells' G0/G1 phase.
Combined effects of ethylene scavenging‐active packaging system and modified atmosphere to reduce postharvest losses of ethylene sensitive produce: Banana and kiwifruit
Authors: Öztürk Meliha , Ayhan Zehra 
Published: July 2023

AbstractEthylene scavenging‐active packaging is getting more interest to reduce postharvest losses of ethylene‐sensitive produce to overcome the limitations of traditional postharvest technologies. The aim of this study is to monitor behaviour of ethylene‐sensitive products to different ethylene scavenging systems combined with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Banana (Musa paradisicum L. var. Anamur) and kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa L. var. Hayward) were packaged with low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) bags containing ethylene scavenging sachet and ethylene scavenging‐active LDPE bags. Only passive MAP was used for bananas stored at 13°C for 12 d. Both passive and active MAP (5% O2, 5% CO2) were used for kiwi stored at 4°C for 30 d. LDPE bags with no ethylene absorber and unpackaged produces were the control groups. O2, CO2 and ethylene concentrations, mass loss, texture, colour, TSS %, titratable acidity and sensory analysis were performed during storage. O2% in the control LDPE bags decreased below 2% on 6th d, while LDPE bags containing sachet and active LDPE bags remained above critical O2 level for bananas during the entire storage. The lowest ethylene concentration was 0.45 μl L−1 in both active systems on 12th d. Equilibrium atmosphere was maintained in active and passive MAP after 5th d for kiwifruit. The lowest ethylene concentrations were determined as 0.47 μl L−1 and 0.50 μl L−1 in the sachet included LDPE and active LDPE, respectively under passive MAP at the end of the storage. In conclusion, bananas packaged with both active systems were acceptable for 9 d considering physicochemical and sensory properties. The kiwifruit was acceptable for 30 d using both ethylene absorbing systems under passive MAP.

Published: July 2023

AbstractHigh‐entropy oxides (HEOs) have emerged as promising anode materials for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Among them, spinel HEOs with vacant lattice sites allowing for lithium insertion and diffusion seem particularly attractive. In this work, electrospun oxygen‐deficient (Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn) HEO nanofibers are produced under environmentally friendly calcination conditions and evaluated as anode active material in LIBs. A thorough investigation of the material properties and Li+ storage mechanism is carried out by several analytical techniques, including ex situ synchrotron X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. The lithiation process is elucidated in terms of lithium insertion, cation migration, and metal‐forming conversion reaction. The process is not fully reversible and the reduction of cations to the metallic form is not complete. In particular, iron, cobalt, and nickel, initially present mainly as Fe3+, Co3+/Co2+, and Ni2+, undergo reduction to Fe0, Co0, and Ni0 to different extent (Fe < Co < Ni). Manganese undergoes partial reduction to Mn3+/Mn2+ and, upon re‐oxidation, does not revert to the pristine oxidation state (+4). Zn2+ cations do not electrochemically participate in the conversion reaction, but migrating from tetrahedral to octahedral positions, they facilitate Li‐ion transport within lattice channels opened by their migration. Partially reversible crystal phase transitions are observed.
