USING MAGIC BOTTLE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS
Authors: Ling Jen Shirley 
Published: April 2023

Speaking has been the main problem for majority of Malaysian students as they are afraid to make mistakes. In order for students to be understood while speaking in English, they need to be able to pronounce English words clearly. To solve this problem, a game ‘Magic Bottle’ was developed in this study. This research was conducted on a group of 27 students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Universiti, Skudai, Johor Bahru. It was triangulated through analysis of PBD Assessment Reports, a set of pre-test and post-test, participant observation and interview. Early observation shows that none of the students passed their PBD Speaking Skills Assessment. Only 2 out of 27 students (7%) scored Band 2 in their PBD Assessment (Pelaporan Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah) for Speaking Skills. The rest, 25 out of 27 students (93%) only scored Band 1 in their Speaking Assessment. All the students failed in the first PBD Speaking Skills Assessment. In this study, students were taught about pronunciation using 'Magic Bottle'. In the game, students were exposed to the correct pronunciation of the difficult words. They were asked to read and role play the sentences in the game. The research showed that students had improved their pronunciation through ‘Magic Bottle’. The T-Test conducted at the end of the test shows that there was a significant improvement between the students’ post-test and pre-test results. Students had also shown improvement in their PBD Speaking Skills.

Authors: Olusoji Arubayi Damaro 
Published: April 2023

This study investigated the influence of diversity on employee satisfaction: A study of tertiary institutions in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Discrimination is becoming widespread in the workplace and is harmful to organizations. Any modern business goals should always consist of abolishing all kinds of discrimination around their work environment and creating a positive environment that includes diversity. From a population of 13822, a sample of 389 respondents was chosen for the study. The simple percentage, mean & standard deviation, as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation analytic methods, were used to analyze the data generated from fieldwork. It was discovered that there is no significant relationship between gender and organizational employee satisfaction, there is no significant relationship between age and employee satisfaction, and there is a relationship between ethnicity and employee satisfaction as well. There is a relationship between education and employee satisfaction. From the findings generated for this study, the researcher recommends that; organizations must consider workplace diversity as an important factor for the satisfaction of employees, organizations that are working in diversity will also focus on ethnicity and development of a common social awareness model, management of organizations should continue to take steps to manage the diversity elements for attaining the satisfaction of employees as well as remuneration, promotion and other motivational incentives awarded to employees should be based on merit rather than tribalism, educational qualifications or age/gender differences so as to establish equity in the workplace.

Keselamatan dalam berkendara sangatlah penting. Akan tetapi pengendara kurang begitu peduli dengan jalanan, salah satunya marka jalan yang bisa mengakibatkan hal yang tidak diinginkan seperti kecelakaan hingga kemacetan lalu lin- tas. Dengan begitu perlunya pengingat agar pengemudi bisa mengambil tindakan pencegahan, seperti mendeteksi marka yang ada di jalan yang berguna untuk mengontrol dan mempertim- bangkan posisi kendaraan. Deteksi marka jalan yang menggu- nakan Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) sebagai pengindraan kondisi marka jalan sehingga dapat membaca objek badan marka jalan yang mendeteksi dan mengenali bentuk yang ditangkap menggunakan kamera, lalu citra tersebut diterima pada input, diproses, dan output, yang diolah dalam dua dimensi hingga menghasilkan proses yang diharapkan. Library yang digu- nakan pada bidang CNN ini menggunakan TensorFlow, dibantu dengan algoritma You Only Look Once (YOLO). TensorFlow dan YOLO digunakan untuk mengeksekusi perintah dan mengenali objek yang berbeda. Dengan begitu diharapkan kesalahan yang terjadi di lalu lintas semakin kecil.

Published: April 2023

This multiple case study has investigated the hypertextual and argumentative competences of eleven groups of students from the Primary Education Degree in a process of dynamic intertextual reading and writing of critical curatorial and recurring comments on blogs based on lexias from the academic site The Victorian Web, whose careful network in heteroglossic semiosis favors the construct wreader (epistemic reader-writer) in the cognitive mediation of the commentator. The methodical design of the sequential analysis of the process has involved microethnographic observation whose results appear in a flowchart of the collaborative task. The analysis of the corpus of curatorships in hyperlinked constellations and hypertextual-argumentative qualities incorporates specific matrices on lexias, coherence, multimodality, prototypes and strategies, whose data discussed have allowed elucidating in half of the cases the survival of logocentric habits of atomized reading and writing. reproductive knowledge that his comments have failed as dissertations according to arguments of authority and in the other half the initiation in abductive hypotheses by analogical coherence of the writer as an efficient cause to give plausible meaning to his critical comments. Paraphrastic comments prevail in recurrences without intertextuality. Therefore, the conclusions indicate epistemic training strategies of infinite healing.
Este estudio de caso múltiple ha investigado las competencias hipertextual y argumentativa de once grupos discentes de Grado en Educación Primaria en un proceso de lectura dinámica intertextual y de escritura de comentarios críticos curadores y recuradores en blog a partir de lexias del sitio académico The Victorian Web, cuya red esmerada en semiosis heteroglósica favorece el constructo wreader (lector-escritor epistémico) en la mediación cognitiva del comentarista. El diseño metódico del análisis secuencial del proceso ha implicado observación microetnográfica cuyos resultados constan en un flujograma de la tarea colaborativa. El análisis del corpus de curadurías en constelaciones hipervinculadas y cualidades hipertextuales-argumentativas incorpora matrices especificativas sobre lexias, coherencia, multimodalidad, prototipos y estrategias, cuyos datos discutidos han permitido dilucidar en la mitad de casos la pervivencia de hábitos logocéntricos de lectura atomizada y de escritura reproductiva de conocimiento que han malogrado sus comentarios como disertaciones según argumentos de autoridad y en la otra mitad la iniciación en hipótesis abductivas por coherencia analógica del wreader como causa eficiente para dar sentido plausible a sus comentarios críticos. En las recuraciones imperan comentarios parafrásticos sin intertextualidad. Por ello, las conclusiones indican estrategias formativas epistémicas de curación infinita.
Taxonomical and functional analyses of epifaunal polychaetes associated with Mussismilia spp.: the effects of coral growth morphology
Authors: Nogueira Marcos , Magalhães Wagner , Mariano-Neto Eduardo , Neves Elizabeth , Johnsson Rodrigo 
Published: April 2023

Background
The increasing habitat heterogeneity and complexity shows positive effects over different communities, leading to environmental diversity, access to resources and reducing the effectiveness of predation. In the present study we evaluate the structural and functional patterns of polychaete assemblages of three Mussismilia species with different coral morphology. Mussismilia hispida has a massive growth pattern; M. braziliensis also is a massive coral but forms a crevice in the corallum base; and M. harttii has a meandroid pattern.

Methods
Ten individuals of the three Mussismilia species were sampled in two reefs in the Todos-os-Santos Bay, and we analyzed the differences in richness and abundance of polychaete species and the functional diversity metrics: Rao’s quadratic entropy, functional dispersion, functional evenness, number of functional groups and functional richness, among Mussismilia species.

Results
Two-way ANOVA with permutations showed significant differences for polychaete abundances and richness among Mussismilia species (higher values for M. harttii), but no differences were recorded when compared between the two coral reef areas studied. There was no statistical difference among coral species or between reefs in relation to the functional diversity components influenced by abundance, such as Rao quadratic entropy, functional dispersion, and functional evenness. Some individual polychaete functional traits presented differences among Mussismilia species, and that also helped us to build a picture about the effect of different growth structures over functional aspects of polychaete assemblages. Thus, the taxonomical approach, the analysis of individual functional traits and the functional diversity metrics are fundamental tools to characterize the assemblage of organisms associated with corals.

The latest monkeypox flare-up has arisen as a general well-being worry because of the fast spread to more than 40 countries that are not situated in Africa. Because of likenesses with chickenpox and measles, the early clinical ID of monkeypox can challenge. PC helped recognition of monkeypox sores might be valuable for checking and fast recognizable proof of thought situations when corroborative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests are inaccessible. At the point when there are sufficient preparation models, profound learning strategies have been demonstrated to be helpful for naturally distinguishing skin injuries. Four pre-prepared Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models are utilized to assess the exhibition of the transfer learning strategy: ResNet50, AlexNet, and ResNet18 An unrivaled association considering the merging of ResNet18 and Google Net is similarly suggested. The recommended network can accomplish 91.57% exactness, 85.69% awareness, particularity and accuracy, individually. The proposed strategy outflanks every individual CNN for monkeypox identification.

Published: April 2023

Aims: Covid-19 disrupted the Health Care system and operations globally between 2020 and 2021 through exponential infections, disease and adverse negative economic impact as a result of the virus. Due to the high risk of infection, health care workers are a high priority target group for vaccination against COVID-19. The objective of current study was to assess the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake among health care workers in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study sought to establish the proportion of vaccinated healthcare workers, determine the socio-demographic and healthcare system factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake among health care workers in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Methodology: Purposive sampling was used to select the six hospitals in Mogadishu while stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 276 participants in the sampled hospitals. Structured questionnaires were use collect data. Data was analyzed SPSS to generate descriptive statistics and logistic regression.
Results: The study established that 54.3% (n) of the healthcare workers had taken the COVID-19 vaccine. The study found that the socio-demographic factors increased the odds of uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine were job cadre with doctors (Odds=0.859, p=0.007), Nurses (Odds=1.175, p=0.010);area of work with ICU (Odds=0.614, p=0.014), Isolation Ward (Odds=2.825, p=0.007); Age 21-30 years (Odds=1.125, p=0.002), 31-40 years (Odds=1.106, p=0.000). The healthcare system factors associated with increased odds for COVID-19 vaccine uptake were being in contact with patients with COVID-19 (Odds=0.948, p=0,008); Conducting weekly tests (Odds=0.786, p =0.010); previously testing positive for COVID-19 (Odds=0.752, p=0.041).
Conclusion: The study concluded that a significant number 45.7 %(n) of healthcare workers in Mogadishu had low or inadequate had not taken the COVID-19 Vaccine for a number of reasons, this is worrying since these are the frontline workers in the fight of COVID 19 pandemic.
Recommendations: The study recommends that health education and health promotion is necessary to enhance vaccine uptake and use among health workers particularly during such pandemics. Policymakers and administrators should develop clear guidelines and create supportive environment to enhance health education and health promotion during pandemics.

Authors: Júnior Luiz Ferreira Coelho , Coelho Thaynara Cristine Moraes 
Published: April 2023

Aims: To determine the acceptance of sweet potato chips through the application of multivariate analysis methods.
Study Design: Sweet potato chips were subjected to sensory analysis.
Place and Duration of Study: Study was carried out at Laboratory of Agriculture of the State Technical School Arlindo Ferreira dos Santos, Sertânia-PE, Brazil, During the pedagogic show held on November 23rd and 24th, 2017.
Methodology: The sweet potato was minimally processed with the aid of a multiprocessor of food (Metvisa) to obtain the chips. Sensory analysis was performed according to the hedonic scale of nine points: 9 = as extremely and 1 = not extremely like. The tasters attributed notes to the appearance of the attributes, aroma, flavor and color.
Results: Factorial analysis made it possible to reduce the variables for two common factors, being factor 1, the factor containing the highest original information (88.05% of the original variation was explained by this factor). Subsequently, the cluster analysis allowed the formation of three groups of tasters presenting different characteristics.
Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the use of multivariate analysis methods becomes important in the verification of the acceptance of new products to be submitted to the evaluation by the consumer, taking into account the differences presented in this evaluation, aiming at the commercialization of these products.

Authors: Chaudhry Kavita , Kaur Gurmeet , Kumar Priyanshu 
Published: April 2023

Aims: Hepatitis B virus infection is a global health concern. Although Hepatitis B virus primarily affects hepatocytes, it sometimes develops disease manifestations outside the liver and can present as full fledged proximal myopathy.
Presentation of Case: We report a 68-year-old man presenting with progressive proximal bilateral lower limb weakness for the last 14 days. The weakness was associated with pain and one episode of fever. Examination revealed 3/5 power in the shoulder and hip joint without any sensory deficit. Biochemical investigation showed elevated CPK levels (1102 IU/L) and liver enzymes (AST – 625 IU/L, ALT – 356 IU/L). HBsAg and HBeAg came out to be positive with HBV DNA of 73000 copies/mL. MRI shoulder and hip joints revealed diffuse intramuscular and myofascial edema suggesting inflammatory myositis. Muscle biopsy was suggestive of Necrotizing Autoimmune Myopathy.
Discussion: Patient symptoms improved after starting IV Prednisolone and Entecavir therapy suggesting a close association between Hepatitis B infection and myopathy.
Conclusion: Although Hepatitis B virus primarily affects hepatocytes, it sometimes develops disease manifestations outside the liver, such as Polymyositis. Therefore, it is imperative to screen for Viral markers in these patients.

Published: April 2023

Health is a fundamental human right upon which all other rights are built. Easy access to needed and affordable healthcare service is essential towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The achievement of UHC in middle and low-income countries of Africa such as Nigeria has however continued to pose a mirage, hence the need for a thorough re-evaluation and provision of sustainable solutions.
This article aims at highlighting the current efforts in achieving UHC in Nigeria and the challenges facing its achievement, while proffering recommendations towards solving these challenges.
The Nigerian Government has made considerable efforts in promoting UHC; however a lot still needs to be done. Adequate healthcare financing has been found to be essential towards achieving universal health coverage in Nigeria; hence it is imperative that the Nigerian government and allied agencies continually create effective, achievable and sustainable policies and actions towards financing the healthcare sector, especially at the level of primary healthcare.
