Agama dan kebudayaan saling berkaitan erat satu sama lain dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Jikala budaya maupun agama diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang terlahir di dunia, maka manusia ingin atau tidak ingin harus menerima warisan tersebut, hal tersebut tentunya akan terasa berat bagi setiap individu. Adapun beberapa peran, yang sangat penting bagi masyarakat,dalam memahami pentingnya agama dan budaya dalam kehidupan sosial: 1) Budaya; maka itu sudah pasti menjadi suatu nilai kesatuan yang menyatu dan membaur dalam sebuah kebudayaan lokal; 2) Gender: persepektif dalam menanggapi gender dalam sebuah kemanusiaan, baik kaum hawa dan kaum adam, dimana katanya ada yang lebih berperan dalam segala hal,yang di sisi lain ada yang di pandang tidak mampu, bukanya itu bisa di katakan pembelaan secara sepihak; 3) Kebudayaan dalam diri sendiri: Tidak terlalu berambisi untuk mengatakan dan membahas sebuah apa itu inti dari kebudayaan dalam diri sendiri yang kaitanya dengan agama dan sebuah kebudayaan yang ada, secara sederhana, kebudayaan merupakan daya cipta hasil karya manusia yang di sertai akal budi, yang dapat memperbaiki, hingga mempermudah serta, meningkatkan kualitas, sebuah kehidupan atau kebudayaan yang mampu membenahi daya kemampuan dalam berfikir,berkata,dan bertindak, sehingga mampu memahami serta berinteraksi dengan lingkungan,yang sesuai dengan tuntutan keadaan yang ada karena sebuah kebudayaan muncul karena adanya dorongan sebuah adaptasi lingkungan dengan kehidupan pada keadaan manusia berada.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of Ajwain supplementation on the serum biochemical parameters of Pratapdhan chicken breed.
Study Design: Descriptive Study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Livestock Production and Management, Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, Jobner, between 12 December 2016 to 5 February 2017.
Methodology: A totally randomized strategy was used to disperse 120 Pratapdhan chicks. The chicks were distributed into four treatment groups, each one contained 30 chicks. The treatment groups included the control (basal diet), T1 (basal diet + 0.1% Ajwain seed powder), T2 (basal diet + 0.2% Ajwain seed powder), and T3 (basal diet + 0.3% Ajwain seed powder). Daily records of the shed's temperature and humidity were used to calculate the Temperature Humidity Index (THI). During the experimental period, standard feeding practices and all other management techniques were used. One bird from each replicate was slaughtered on end day of the experiment period (2, 4, 6, and 8 week) to estimate serum biochemical parameters. The experiment lasted 8 weeks.
Results: A significant difference (P<0.05) was observed in calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium values, among the biochemical indicators that varied between the treatment groups and the control group at whole tested period except the calcium concentration at 8 weeks of periods was not significantly (P>0.05) difference. Cholesterol value was observed (P<0.05) significantly decreasing with Ajwain supplementation groups when compared to control group.
Conclusion: Dietary inclusion of Ajwain seed powder had not negative effect on the serum bio-chemical parameters of Pratapdhan broiler breed and lowering cholesterol concentration, which directly affects humans who consume poultry meat.

Published: February 2023

The present investigation was carried out to assess the genetic diversity present among 66 rice landraces along with 4 checks for 14 different quantitative traits. All the genotypes were grouped into 5 clusters by performing Tocher’s clustering method using Mahalanobis D2 distance. Cluster I was the largest, comprising of 34 genotypes, followed by Cluster II with 28 genotypes. The maximum genetic distance (D2) was observed between cluster V an III (6243.98), followed by clusters II and III (6166.44), clusters IV and II (6022.47), clusters I and IV (4544.26) and clusters IV and III (4161.67). The results revealed the highest contribution of plant height (25.50%) towards total diversity, followed by days to 50% flowering kernel (3.18%), grain yield per plant (2.42 %) and days to maturity (2.06). The rice genotypes belonging to the clusters III , IV and V were found to be the most divergent, and hence can be utilised in the recombination breeding programmes to exploit maximum heterosis.

Aims: Vaccines against COVID-19 have been developed but there are not enough vaccines for everyone. Special groups of people, such as those with chronic health conditions, must be prioritized. This study investigates the factors that influence the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among patients living with chronic medical diseases in Nigeria.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: University College Hospital between October 2021 – December 2021.
Methodology: 387 adults with chronic medical conditions were sampled via an offline questionnaire using a cross-sectional design. Convenience sampling was used to recruit participants. The information was collected using a validated structured questionnaire adapted from the study carried out in Bangladesh by Saifu et al and entered into the Stata MP 14.0. To summarize the data, descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency, and percentages were used, and Chi-square analysis was used to test hypotheses with an Alpha level of 0.05.
Results: The majority of responders (69.5 %) correctly identify the modes of transmission. . . While the knowledge of COVID-19 infection was found to be statistically correlated with age, gender, education, income and ethnicity, the knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine is significantly correlated with education and occupation. The respondents' income, occupation, and education were significantly correlated with their desire to receive the vaccine at a p-value<0.01.
Conclusion: The results highlight the need to step up efforts to inform Nigerian adults about the COVID-19 infection and the available vaccines, especially those who have chronic medical conditions.
Text Encryption with Improved Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Authors: David Adeniji Oluwashola , Sulaimon Olagunju 
Published: February 2023

The security of data encrypted with an encryption algorithm should be guaranteed such that it is never easy for a third party to recover the message from the encrypted data. To this effect, ECC has been a reliable option. However, the base equation that defines the security of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is in the form of a linear equation with one unknown which is easy to solve. The ease with which this equation can be solved is a weak point in the algorithm. Thus, the aim of this research work is to improve the security of ECC by improving the nature of its base linear equation.
Elliptic curve arithmetic was used to develop the improved model. The encryption process was specifically targeted and improved from single to double encryption using separate encryption constant for each round of encryption. Simulation was done using a 256 bits key size on selected number of character inputs. Java programming language was used to simulate the model on Net Beans IDE. Results of the research show that despite a longer key size of 256 bits and double encryption process, the improved ECC performed better than the existing ECC model in both encryption and decryption times, but compared to RSA, the encryption is higher while the decryption time is lower. Generally, this shows that the improved ECC out – performed the existing systems and is therefore better.

ImportanceWhile low income has been associated with a higher incidence of triple-negative breast cancer, its association with 21-gene recurrence score (RS) among patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer remains unclear.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of household income with RS and overall survival (OS) among patients with ER-positive breast cancer.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used data from the National Cancer Database. Eligible participants included women diagnosed between 2010 and 2018 with ER-positive, pT1-3N0-1aM0 breast cancer who received surgery followed by adjuvant endocrine therapy with or without chemotherapy. Data analysis was performed from July 2022 to September 2022.ExposuresLow vs high neighborhood-level household income levels defined as below vs above the median household income of $50 353 based on each patient’s zip code.Main Outcomes and MeasuresRS (a score ranged from 0 to 100 based on gene expression signatures indicating the risk of distant metastasis, with RS of 25 or below indicating non–high risk and RS above 25 indicating high risk) and OS.ResultsAmong 119 478 women (median [IQR] age, 60 [52-67] years; 4737 [4.0%] Asian and Pacific Islander, 9226 [7.7%] Black, 7245 [6.1%] Hispanic, 98 270 [82.2%] non-Hispanic White), 82 198 (68.8%) and 37 280 (31.2%) patients had high and low income, respectively. Logistic multivariable analysis (MVA) showed that, compared with high income, low income was associated with higher RS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.11; 95% CI, 1.06-1.16). Cox MVA showed that low income was also associated with worse OS (adjusted hazards ratio [aHR], 1.18; 95% CI, 1.11-1.25). Interaction term analysis showed a statistically significant interaction between income levels and RS (interaction P &amp;lt; .001). On subgroup analysis, significant findings were noted among those with RS below 26 (aHR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.13-1.29), while there was no significant OS difference between income levels among others with RS of 26 or higher (aHR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.96-1.22).Conclusions and RelevanceOur study suggested that low household income was independently associated with higher 21-gene recurrence scores and significantly worse survival outcomes among those with scores below 26, but not 26 or higher. Further studies are warranted to investigate the association between socioeconomic determinants of health and intrinsic tumor biology among patients with breast cancer.

AbstractTo evaluate the image quality, dosimetric properties, setup reproducibility, and planar cine motion detection of a high‐resolution brain coil and integrated stereotactic brain immobilization system that constitute a new brain treatment package (BTP) on a low‐field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerator (MR‐linac). Image quality of the high‐resolution brain coil was evaluated with the 17 cm diameter spherical phantom and the American College of Radiology (ACR) Large MRI Phantom. Patient imaging studies approved by the institutional review board (IRB) assisted in selecting image acquisition parameters. Radiographic and dosimetric evaluation of the high‐resolution brain coil and the associated immobilization devices was performed using dose calculations and ion chamber measurements. End‐to‐end testing was performed simulating a cranial lesion in a phantom. Inter‐fraction setup variability and motion detection tests were evaluated on four healthy volunteers. Inter‐fraction variability was assessed based on three repeat setups for each volunteer. Motion detection was evaluated using three‐plane (axial, coronal, and sagittal) MR‐cine imaging sessions, where volunteers were asked to perform a set of specific motions. The images were post‐processed and evaluated using an in‐house program. Contrast resolution of the high‐resolution brain coil is superior to the head/neck and torso coils. The BTP receiver coils have an average HU value of 525 HU. The most significant radiation attenuation (3.14%) of the BTP, occurs through the lateral portion of the overlay board where the high‐precision lateral‐profile mask clips attach to the overlay. The greatest inter‐fraction setup variability occurred in the pitch (average 1.08 degree) and translationally in the superior/inferior direction (average 4.88 mm). Three plane cine imaging with the BTP was able to detect large and small motions. Small voluntary motions, sub‐millimeter in magnitude (maximum 0.9 mm), from motion of external limbs were detected. Imaging tests, inter‐fraction setup variability, attenuation, and end‐to‐end measurements were quantified and performed for the BTP. Results demonstrate better contrast resolution and low contrast detectability that allows for better visualization of soft tissue anatomical changes relative to head/neck and torso coil systems.
