The purpose of this study was to reveal about violence against African-American slaves; the kinds of violence and impacts of violence to the slaves in Solomon Northup’s Twelve Years a Slave. This study is classified as a qualitative research because the writers gathered the data in the form of words as well as quotation from the work itself. The writers collected the data from two kinds of sources, namely primary source and secondary source. The primary source was taken from the novel Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, and the secondary sources are the other material that supports the research such as books, articles and websites. This study used a Sociological approach which regards the literary work as a social document that reflects the situation when the literary work was created. The results of this study showed that there are two kinds of violence against African-American slaves in Northup’s work; physical violence and psychological violence. The acts of violence wasreceived by the slaves result in some impacts include physical impact such as, suffering in pain, injury, and sick; and psychological impact such as, fear, trauma, and depression. Through sociological approach, it can be concluded that the novel Twelve Years a Slave really explained the real social condition of African-American slaves that occurred in the 19th century, where they experienced acts of violence from their white masters during slavery.

Automated conversion of numeral to words in Hausa language
Authors: Mustapha Rabi , Lawal Falalu Ibrahim , Ahmad Muhammad Aminu 
Published: August 2023

Working with cardinal numbers is undoubtedly an integral part of our everyday life, which tells us about quantity. They are used for instance, in numeracy lessons, on receipts, slips, tellers in banks, to represent figures on documents, to tell time and are often represented inconsistently. However, the words form representations are often inconsistent with the standard Hausa. Standard Hausa as compared to other languages such as Arabic and British English, the Numeric System is characterized by a multitude of concatenations as well as dialect variations which causes misinterpretations and confusion. Also, initial findings show that no such automation published work has been done specifically in the numerical system of Standard Hausa language. In order to fill the gap, this study proposed an algorithm for converting numerals to words for the numeric system of Hausa language automatically in standard practice. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of iteration and mapping structures algorithm for converting numeral to cardinal form in standard Hausa language. The algorithm has been tested on approximately one hundred million sequences of numbers produced accurate results. The results showed that our method is successful in automating conversion of numerals to words with a high precision.

Published: August 2023

Transition metal carbides are recently considered to be potential substitutes to platinum counter electrode due to their low cost, high catalytic activity and good thermal stability. In this paper, we investigate the structural, electronics, and optical properties of one of the transition metal carbides (Cr3C). The structural and electronic properties were computed using the first principles approach, a generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA) as exchange correlation functional within density functional theory (DFT) was used for the calculations. The optimized lattice parameters of the compound were = 4.525 Ǻ, = 5.186 Ǻ, = 6.659 Ǻ and ∝ = β = γ = 90.00which are in agreement with number of theoretical and experimental results. The calculated band gap and density of state (DOS) of this compound reveals the presence of Valence Band Maximum (VBM) and Conduction Band Minimum (CBM) at different symmetry point with the intersection of several energy bands crossing the Fermi level, this interaction indicate a metallicity nature and may cost the conductive nature of the material to have sufficient electro-catalytic ability for the reduction of I3- ions in counter electrode of DSSCs. The optical properties are calculated from the spectra of dielectric function alongside with the other related optical properties like energy loss function, reflectivity, refractive index, extinction coefficient and conductivity within a continuous energy range of 0 to 16eV. The obtained results of the optical properties of this material show that the materials can be use as possible candidates for counter electrode of DSSC.

Authors: Auwal  Sani  
Published: August 2023

The present occurrence of drug resistance by most microorganisms has posed an enormous problem in the health care and triggered the need for continuous research for better and safe therapeutic agents. Securidaca longipedunculata is locally used in treating skin infections. Thus this study was designed to investigate the phytochemical constituents and antimicrobial activities of methanol leaf extract of Securidaca longipedunculata against Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans which are known to cause skin infections. Antimicrobial activity against the organisms was determined using agar well diffusion method. Four concentrations of the leaf extract were prepared and used in the study (800 mg/ml, 400 mg/ml, 200 mg/ml, and 100 mg/ml). Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) of the extract were also analysed. Upon extraction, the phytochemical constituents of the leaf were found to be carbohydrate, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, cardiac glycosides, tanins and anthraquinones. There was no activity observed at 200 and 100 mg/ml concentrations of the extract on all the test organisms. For the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) test against all the tested bacterial isolates, the MIC was found to be 400 mg/ml. In the MBC test, the test showed that S. pyogenes and S. aureus were not killed by the leaf extract but rather they were inhibited from growing this is the same with C. albicans in the MFC. This study the use of the leaf of S. longipedunculata in traditional medicine for topical application in skin infections.

Authors: Ozojiofor Ugochukwu 
Published: August 2023

Ethanol is an important chemical with its potential as a biofuel to displace the environmentally unfriendly fossil fuels. Isolation and identification of ethanol and thermo-tolerant yeast capable of producing ethanol were carried out in this study. Seventy (70) samples from different fermented foods and agricultural wastes from millets, sorghum, maize, rice and guinea corn were obtained from local sellers in Panteka, Farin-Gida, Barkallahu and Barnawa in Kaduna State (North West), Nigeria were used in this research. The samples were collected using a sterile plastic container and were transported immediately to the Biotechnology laboratory of the Nigerian Defence Academy in iced chamber.
They were serially diluted in distilled water and inoculated on yeast extract peptone dextrose agar (YEPD) media plates supplemented with 0.2% chloramphenicol. The plates were incubated at 30°C for 72 hours and developed colonies were sub-cultured to obtain pure culture which was observed for their morphological and microscopic characteristics. After examination, ten (10) yeast isolates were obtained from the seventy (70) samples collected. Flocculation test, Hydrogen sulphide test, preliminary alcohol production and sugar fermentation test were carried out on the isolates and their tolerance to ethanol at varying concentration 5%-20% (v/v) and temperature at 37oC-45oC were studied. Using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 and 2 regions primer, the DNA were sequenced and the isolates identified. Four isolates FG 17, FG 27, P1 and BN50 showed ethanol tolerance potentials at 20% ethanol and were identified as strains of Diutina rugosa, Candida sp, Candida ethanolica and Candida tropicalis while one isolate FG 35 showed good thermo-tolerance ability at 45oC and was identified as Trichosporon sp.

Introduction: Respiratory tract infection remains one of the most significant cause of death and hospital visit globally, with high burden in developing countries. The aim of the study was to formulate and carry out in vitro antibacterial screening of bi-herbal syrup against some selected respiratory tract pathogens.
Methods: 75% ethanol extracts of Citrus aurantifolia (CA) whole fruits and Garcinia kola (GK) seeds were made by cold maceration. Antibacterial activity and optimum minimum bactericidal concentrations (OMBC) of each extract (singly and combined) were determined using agar well diffusion and pour plate methods respectively. Formulations of the bi-herbal syrup were compounded by agitation without heat application method and re-evaluated for antibacterial activities.
Results: The percentage yield were 12.68 and 7.09 for CA and GK respectively. The extracts were tested against Streptococcus pyogene, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The MIC of the extracts varied from one pathogen to another. Clinical Staphylococcus aureus was highly resistant to GK, to the extent that the MIC value was indeterminate. However, CA exhibited more potent antibacterial activity with MBC ranging from 4.76- 9.53mg/mL than GK (MBC: 28.60 to 34.76 mg/mL). An optimal minimum bactericidal concentration of 9.523mg/mL (0.9523 % w/v) of Citrus aurantifolia whole fruits extract exhibited a total clearance of all the isolates tested, while 34.76 mg/mL (3.476% w/v) of Garcinia kola seeds extract did the same .When tested singly, the average zone of inhibition of the bacteria showed that the OMBC of CA tends to increase in diameter with increase in percentage concentration against the isolates while that of GK varied. The highest efficacy of the combined OMBC was at 85% ≡ 37.64mg/mg. At this concentration, a total kill on all the isolates tested was observed. An assessment of all the formulations with this same concentration and varying excipients concentration, showed that the average zone of inhibitions against all the isolates were higher than the standards used as positive controls at P-value of 0.05.
Conclusion: A combination of Citrus aurantifolia and Garicia kola extracts have shown in vitro antibacterial activities and therapeutic potential effects in vivo which was retained when the extracts were formulated into a bi-herbal syrup
Assisted Technology and Mental Health

Published: August 2023

This manuscript discusses the potential use of assistive technology in promoting the mental health and well-being of the growing elderly population in the Arab world. While the use of assistive technology to address physical needs has been around for some time, its use in enhancing mental health and well-being is still in its early days. The manuscript highlights that assistive technology interventions have been shown to benefit the mental health of older adults. However, there are limited publications on the use of assistive technology in the Arab world, and certain assumptions held by healthcare professionals may hinder the access of older adults to these programs. The manuscript suggests introducing the topic of assistive technology in the medical and nursing undergraduate curriculum to address any misconceptions and make the technology more user-friendly. The manuscript also describes two specific types of assistive technology, mental health chatbots, and GPS trackers,	and their potential benefits for older adults.

Authors: Mwansa Kaindu , Ahmed Y , Vwalika Bellington 
Published: August 2023

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence, sociodemographic and maternal factors associated with spontaneous preterm birth in women delivering at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on postnatal women delivering at UTH Lusaka. Between 1st February 2018 and 31st august 2018, a structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic, past and present medical and obstetric history. Babies were physically examined to assess for gestational age using the Finnstrom scoring. A sample size of 210 women was collected out of which 105 had preterm and 105 term deliveries. The risk of spontaneous preterm birth was estimated with OR and 95%CI for several predictors. A logistic regression analysis was then performed to identify independently associated factors.
Results: The mean gestation age was 33.1weeks and 39.4 weeks respectively for preterm and term pregnancies. Of the preterm births, 48 (45.7%) were ranged between 34+0 and 36+6 weeks. Four babies were born with a weight 1000gr and 58 (52.3%) with weight between 1500-2499gr. The prevalence of spontaneous preterm birth was 7.7%. On multivariate analysis, age was not associated with preterm birth (p=0.06). Single status was (OR :2.65, p=0.001), low education level (OR:3.85, p=0.03), low family income (OR: 7.75, p=0.025) and.549 alcohol intake (OR:2, P=0.006) were significantly associated with preterm birth. For the maternal factors, Parity was not associated with preterm birth (p=0.878). However, gestational age of less than 20weeks at booking was protective (OR: 0.485, P=0.013). A few antenatal visits was significantly associated with preterm birth (OR: 8.06, P<0.001).
Conclusion: Spontaneous preterm birth remains a major problem at UTH Lusaka with the prevalence of 7.7%. Being single, low education level, low family income, occasional alcohol drinking and fewer antenatal visits were significantly associated with preterm birth. However, early booking at less than 20 weeks was protective.
