Abstrak: Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah (LZNK) telah memainkan peranan yang efektif dan efisien dalam memberikan bantuan kepada asnaf terutama ketika pandemik COVID 19. Asnaf Care merupakan satu strategi yang digunakan oleh pihak LZNK untuk mengumpul dan mengagihkan sumbangan kepada golongan yang memerlukan. Apabila COVID 19 melanda negara, maka berlaku penambahan dari aspek bantuan tetapi kutipan berada pada kedudukan yang masih berkurangan. Maka, pihak LZNK telah mengambil inisiatif mewujudkan tabung Asnaf Care untuk membantu asnaf ketika COVID 19. Objektif kertas kerja ini untuk melihat sejauh mana dana Asnaf Care memainkan peranan dalam mengumpul dana dan mengagihkan kepada golongan asnaf di negeri Kedah. Bagi mendapatkan data daripada kajian ini, kaedah temu bual dengan pihak LZNK telah dilaksanakan. Temu bual ini dijalankan kepada dua orang pegawai LZNK yang mengurus tabung Asnaf Care ini. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan bahawa pihak LZNK telah berjaya mengutip dana tambahan dan dapat menyalurkan bantuan tambahan kepada golongan asnaf dan ahli masyarakat yang memerlukan ketika pandemik COVID 19. LZNK telah menggunakan strategi kutipan dana secara atas talian kepada golongan asnaf. LZNK telah menggunakan strategi kutipan dana kepada masyarakat awam secara atas talian untuk memberi kemudahan dalam menyampaikan bantuan kepada asnaf Justeru strategi yang diguna pakai oleh pihak LZNK dalam membantu golongan yang memerlukan ini berpotensi untuk diketengahkan kepada mana-mana institusi yang menjalankan aktiviti bantuan kepada ahli masyarakat yang memerlukan.

Abstract: The Kedah State Zakat Board (LZNK) has been extremely effective and efficient in assisting asnaf, particularly during the COVID 19 pandemic. LZNK's Asnaf Care approach collects and distributes donations to the poor. When COVID 19 hit the country, there was an uptick in aid, but collection was still dropping. As a result, LZNK has taken the initiative to establish an Asnaf Care fund to assist asnaf during COVID 19. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which the Asnaf Care Fund collects and distributes funds to the asnaf community in the state of Kedah. An interview method with LZNK was used to collect data for this investigation. The following interview was done with two LZNK personnel in charge of the Asnaf Care fund. The findings suggest that LZNK was successful in raising more funds and channelling them to the asnaf organisation and members of the community in need during the COVID 19 outbreak. For the asnaf group, LZNK adopted an internet fundraising technique. To expedite the supply of support to asnaf, LZNK has employed an internet fundraising technique for the general public. As a result, the technique employed by LZNK in assisting the poor has the potential to be emphasised to any institution that provides support to members of the community in need.

Proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam norma baharu pandemik Covid-19 semestinya mempunyai kaedah yang tersendiri mengikut kreativiti pensyarah dan menjadi satu cabaran baharu yang perlu dihadapi kerana tidak dapat dijalankan secara bersemuka. Secara tidak langsung, pensyarah akan lebih kreatif dalam menggunakan dan mengaplikasi pengajaran dan pembelajaran al-Quran. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan mengenalpasti perspektif pensyarah yang mengajar kursus-kursus berkaitan al-Quran terhadap pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) dalam situasi pandemik Covid-19 dan cabaran yang dihadapi. Kajian ini menggunapakai data kualitatif yang menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan dan soal selidik soalan terbuka. Kajian yang menggunakan pendekatan induktif ini akan menganalisis data primer dan sekunder seperti laporan-laporan penyelidikan dan artikel akademik. Kaedah soal selidik digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah dengan menggunakan kaedah soalan terbuka yang melibatkan 7 orang pensyarah yang mengajar kursus-kursus yang berkaitan dengan al-Quran. Dapatan kajian mendapati pelaksanaan pengajaran dan pembelajaran menggunakan kaedah dalam talian menjadi satu cabaran kepada pensyarah dan pelajar yang mempunyai masalah akses internet yang lemah, serta tahap kemahiran pelajar juga mempengaruhi pensyarah bagi mengendalikan pelajar secara pengajaran dalam talian. Justeru, tidak semua pelajar dapat memahami sepenuhnya kelas dan kursus yang dipelajari. Kajian ini dapat membantu pihak universiti mengenalpasti cabaran pengajaran kursus al-Quran yang dihadapi oleh pensyarah serta dapat mencari alternatif yang boleh disesuaikan mengikut kemudahan yang ada di Unisel.

Published: March 2023

Machine learning and computational intelligence are rapidly emerging in plant breeding, allowing the exploration of big data concepts and predicting the importance of predictors. In this context, the main challenges are how to analyze datasets and extract new knowledge at all levels of research. Predicting the importance of variables in genetic improvement programs allows for faster progress, carrying out an extensive phenotypic evaluation of the germplasm, and selecting and predicting traits that present low heritability and/or measurement difficulties. Although, simultaneous evaluation of traits provides a wide variety of information, identifying which predictor variable is most important is a challenge for the breeder. The traditional approach to variable selection is based on multiple linear regression. It evaluates the relationship between a response variable and two or more independent variables. However, this approach has limitations regarding its ability to analyze high-dimensional data and not capture complex and multivariate relationships between traits. In summary, machine learning and computational intelligence approaches allow inferences about complex interactions in plant breeding. Given this, a systematic review to disentangle machine learning and computational intelligence approaches is relevant to breeders and was considered in this review. We present the main steps for developing each strategy (from data selection to evaluating classification/prediction models and quantifying the best predictor).

O estudo avaliou a adição de um flavorizante comercial na água de consumo de leitões, sobre ingestão de água e desempenho durante o período pós-desmame. Foram utilizados 60 leitões, distribuídos em um delineamento em blocos casualizados, compreendendo dois tratamentos: sem e com a adição de um flavorizante comercial - 100 g/ 1000L de inclusão, com 10 repetições por tratamento, cada repetição com três animais. Os parâmetros calculados foram: consumo médio de água por animal, consumo total diário de água, consumo médio diário de ração, consumo total de ração, consumo médio de ração, ganho de peso diário, ganho de peso médio diário, ganho de peso total, conversão alimentar, eficiência alimentar, e a ocorrência de diarreia. Considerando as fases 1 e 2, verificou-se que a adição do flavorizante na água proporcionou o aumento do consumo médio de água por animal e para o consumo total diário de água. Contudo, não promoveu influência significativa sobre o consumo médio diário de ração, consumo total de ração e para ganho de peso diário. Observou-se uma correlação positiva entre o consumo de água e ração para ambos os tratamentos durante a primeira fase, no entanto, o comportamento inicial na relação entre os consumos ração/água para o tratamento com flavorizante apresentaram médias maiores. Para o ciclo completo, não houve diferença estatística para as variáveis estudadas. As porcentagens da incidência de diarreia não demonstraram diferenças estatísticas. Logo, a manipulação das características hedônicas da água de consumo por meio da adição do flavorizante é benéfica, proporcionando aumento no consumo de água nas duas primeiras semanas do pós-desmame.

Published: March 2023

Este artigo objetivou fazer uma revisão sistemática acerca da interligação entre inteligência emocional e liderança transformacional. Quanto ao primeiro construto relacionado ao conceito de liderança transformacional, este pode ser compreendido enquanto a competência do líder em conduzir o engajamento e a motivação de um grupo de pessoas, e por sua adequação para se obter uma transformação cultural com foco na inovação nas empresas. Foram realizadas buscas por artigos indexados nas bases de dados Scielo e MEDLINE/Pubmed, publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2012-2022). Utilizou-se os descritores, “transformational leadership” e “emotional intelligence”, com o buscador booleano AND para unir os termos. Ao final, 6 artigos foram selecionados, seus dados descritos e seus resumos analisados por meio da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, processados pelo software Alceste. Os resultados evidenciaram que as publicações acerca dos construtos são recentes, datando a partir de 2019. No que tange aos achados, emergiram três classes temáticas: 1) “Tipos de liderança e inteligência emocional no contexto da educação”, 2) “A liderança transformacional como fator mediador para aumento da eficácia de equipes”, e 3) “Inteligência emocional do líder como fator significativo para o desempenho dos funcionários no trabalho”. Nesse sentido, observou-se a escassez de produções sobre a temática em diferentes continentes e realidades, assim como, a necessidade da aplicação de estudos no contexto brasileiro. Dessa forma, considera-se a importância de fomentar pesquisas acerca da inteligência emocional e liderança transformacional, uma vez que estes podem auxiliar no engajamento, motivação e gestão efetiva das emoções próprias nos diferentes setores, equipes e empresas.

O objetivo desta revisão é expor os principais conceitos do câncer de mama e da mastectomia. E como objetivos secundários, apontar as consequências na qualidade de vida das pacientes mastectomizadas. O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, na pesquisa sobre a mastectomia e os efeitos dessa abordagem terapêutica sobre a vida de pacientes oncológicas. Objetivando expor produções científicas e reconstruir conceitos e linhas de pensamentos, articulando saberes de diversos trabalhos conceituados. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de artigos nas bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e PubMed, com os seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Cirurgia Oncológica; Mastectomia Parcial; Mastectomia Total; Neoplasia Maligna; Paciente Oncológico. Selecionando artigos entre os períodos de 2006 a 2023. É totalmente comprovado pela literatura que, a mastectomia, muda a vida de pacientes oncológicos submetidos ao procedimento. Complicações pós-operatório são relatas frequentemente em todos os estudos acerca da cirurgia, tais como: dores crônicas, fibrose, contratura capsular e, sobretudo, mudanças sociais e relações acerca da autoestima. Existe a possibilidade de realizar o procedimento e, logo em seguida, realizar a reconstrução mamária. Beneficiando a vida das pacientes, como o resgate das afeições femininas, sentimento de feminilidade e integridade corporal, além de diminuir os impactos das alterações físicas. Dessa forma, entende-se a necessidade de mais produções cientificas relacionadas à reconstrução mamária logo o câncer de mama, visto os benefícios e auxílio assistência dessas mulheres.
Supplementation of high-quality fresh forage to lambs fed a total mixed ration increased in vitro ruminal fermentation and digestibility

Published: March 2023

The supplementation of fresh alfalfa into the diet of growing lambs fed with decreasing levels of a total mixed ration (TMR) was studied for its effect on in vitro ruminal fermentation activity. Twenty-four catheterized lambs [25.2 ± 3.67 kg body weight (BW)] were assigned to one of the following treatments: “TMR100”—TMR ad libitum; “TMR75’” and “TMR50”—TMR at 0.75 and 0.50 of potential intake, respectively, supplemented with alfalfa; and ‘TMR0’—only alfalfa ad libitum. In vitro gas production kinetics and true digestibility (IVTD) were evaluated using the rumen liquid as inocula. Ruminal pH values and NH3-N and volatile fatty acid concentrations were studied at the same time as inocula extraction. As the amount of alfalfa in the diet increased—by decreasing the level of TMR—in vitro gas production, ruminal pH values, NH3-N concentrations, and acetic acid proportions linearly increased (p = 0.005, 0.008, 0.004, and 0.018, respectively). IVTD tended to linearly rise (p = 0.083) and the fermentation rate (p = 0.004) and propionic acid proportion (p&lt; 0.001) linearly decreased. We conclude that the increase in the level of fresh alfalfa resulting from the decrease in TMR levels in lambs’ diet positively impacted rumen fermentation activity and in vitro digestibility through the promotion of a suitable environment for ruminal microbiota.

Published: March 2023

BackgroundsVasovagal syncope (VVS) is a common form of syncope. In children with VVS, recurrent syncope or presyncope can affect the physical and mental health of both children and parents, which markedly impairs quality of life.ObjectivesWe aimed to identify factors at baseline that can predict the recurrence of syncope or presyncope over a 5-year follow-up period, and further to develop a prognostic nomogram model.MethodsThis cohort is bidirectional in design. From July 2017 to August 2022, children with VVS were included and followed up every 3 to 6 months. Head-up Tilt Test (HUTT) was performed for diagnosing VVS. Data were analyzed using STATA software, and risk estimates are presented as hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsTotal 352 children with VVS who had complete information were included in this study. Median follow-up time was 22 months. Overall, supine mean arterial pressure (MAP-supine) in HUTT and baseline urine specific gravity (USG) were associated with the significant risk of syncope or presyncope recurrence (HR: 0.70 and 3.00, respectively; both P &lt; 0.05). Calibration and discrimination analyses revealed that the addition of MAP-supine and USG can result in a better fit. A prognostic nomogram model based on significant factors annexed with five traditional promising factors was finally constructed, with strong discriminative and predictive abilities (C-index approaching 0.700, P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionsOur findings indicated that MAP-supine and USG can independently predict the significant risk of syncope recurrence in children with VVS, and the prediction was more obvious in a nomogram model.
Indigenous stewardship of coastal resources in native California
Authors: Sanchez Gabriel M. , Grone Michael , Apodaca Alec 
Published: March 2023

Indigenous people have profoundly influenced terrestrial and marine ecosystems by modifying coastal habitats to increase the productivity of target species and altering local biotas through their harvesting practices. In some cases, these actions led to local resource depression, while in other instances, Indigenous people engaged with terrestrial and marine resources in sustainable ways, increasing the resilience of ecosystems. In this paper, we interrogate human-environmental relationships that span the last ∼7,000 years of Indigenous engagement with coastal resources on the central California coast. Through a historical ecological framework, we assess how Indigenous peoples interacted with terrestrial and marine ecosystems differently across space and through time. In the Middle Holocene, the region’s archaeology is typified by mobile populations using diverse terrestrial and marine resources. By the Late Holocene, Indigenous peoples intensified their economies towards a limited number of marine and terrestrial species. During this time, Indigenous people initiated sustained fire management practices that created habitat mosaics still reflected in the contemporary landscape. In the Late Holocene, people also developed resource harvesting strategies for California mussels and forage fishes geared towards long-term productivity.

Published: March 2023

IntroductionEndoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) has sizeable affect on cancer proliferation, metastasis, immunotherapy and chemoradiotherapy resistance. However, the effect of ERS on the biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer patients remains elusive. Here, we generated an ERS-related genes risk signature to evaluate the physiological function of ERS in PCa with BCR.MethodsWe collected the ERS-related genes from the GeneCards. The edgeR package was used to screen the differential ERS-related genes in PCa from TCGA datasets. ERS-related gene risk signature was then established using LASSO and multivariate Cox regression models and validated by GEO data sets. Nomogram was developed to assess BCR-free survival possibility. Meanwhile, the correlations between ERS-related signature, gene mutations, drug sensitivity and tumor microenvironment were also investigated. ResultsWe obtained an ERS risk signature consisting of five genes (AFP, COL10A1, DNAJB1, EGF and PTGS2). Kaplan Meier survival analysis and ROC Curve analysis indicated that the high risk score of ERS-related gene signature was associated with poor BCR-free prognosis in PCa patients. Besides, immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint expression levels differed between high- and low-risk scoring subgroups. Moreover, drug sensitivity analyzed indicated that high-risk score group may be involved in apoptosis pathway. DiscussionThis study comprehensively analyzed the characteristics of ERS related genes in PCa, and created a five-gene signature, which could effectively predict the BCR time of PCa patients. Targeting ERS related genes and pathways may provide potential guidance for the treatment of PCa.

ObjectiveTo determine if the leptin, adiponectin, and leptin/adiponectin ratio (LAR) can predict weight gain at the end of GnRH analogs (GnRHa) treatment in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP).Material and methodsStudy design: prospective cohort. Serum levels of leptin and adiponectin were determined at diagnosis of CPP. Anthropometry was performed at diagnosis of CPP and every six-months, until treatment with GnRHa was discontinued and they presented menarche. Patients were divided according to BMI&lt;94 and BMI&gt;95 percentile at diagnosis of CPP. The outcome was the increased in weight gain (e.g., from normal weight to overweight) at the end of follow-up. Statistical analysis: repeated measures ANOVA test and Student’s t-test were used to compare groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of leptin and adiponectin levels, as well as LAR values with increased weight gain.ResultsFifty-six CPP patients were studied, 18 had BMI &gt;95 percentile and 38 BMI &lt;94 percentile. Of the 18 patients who initially had BMI &gt;95th, two patients went from obesity to overweight, while among the 38 patients who started with BMI &lt;94th, 21 (55.2%) increased their weight gain at the end of follow-up. This last group had higher leptin levels (8.99 ± 0.6 vs 6.14 ± 0.8, p=0.005) and higher LAR values compared to those who remained in the same weight (1.3 ± 0.5 vs 0.96 ± 0.56, p=0.01). In the logistic regression analysis, it was found that higher leptin levels and higher LAR values were associated with increased weight gain (RR 1.31, 95%CI 1.03-1.66, RR 4.86, 95%CI 1.10-21.51, respectively), regardless of birth weight, pubertal stage, age, and bone/chronological age ratio.ConclusionsIn patients with CPP, leptin levels and higher LAR values appear to be associated with significantly greater weight gain during GhRHa treatment, particularly in girls starting with BMI &lt; 94 percentile.
