Strategic Intelligence Gathering (SIG) and the Fight against Kidnapping in Oyo State

Kidnapping has emerged as a significant security threat in Oyo State, Nigeria, disrupting socio-economic activities and instilling fear in residents. This study examines the role of Strategic Intelligence Gathering (SIG) in combating the menace of kidnapping in the region. It explores how proactive intelligence techniques—such as surveillance, informant networks, data analysis, and community engagement—enhance law enforcement efforts in identifying, tracking, and neutralizing kidnapping operations. The research draws on qualitative data from security personnel, local authorities, and community members to assess the effectiveness of SIG tools in preventing abductions and facilitating the safe rescue of victims. Findings indicate that while SIG has proven instrumental in several successful interventions, challenges such as limited resources, inadequate training, and poor inter-agency collaboration hinder optimal performance. The paper recommends strengthening intelligence capacity, fostering community-police trust, and adopting technology-driven approaches. Ultimately, enhancing strategic intelligence capabilities is crucial to mitigating the threat of kidnapping and restoring public confidence in security systems.

Multisystem triglyceride storage disease is due to a specific defect in the degradation of endocellularly synthesized triglycerides

We studied two unrelated patients with autosomal recessive multisystem triglyceride storage disease. Cultured fibroblasts accumulated 10 times more triglyceride than controls under glycerol or palmitate feeding. Mutant fibroblasts could not degrade accumulated triglycerides of endogenous origin, but normally degraded endogenously synthesized phospholipids. When the cells were fed with exogenous olein, triglyceride catabolism was in the normal range. Oxidation of long-chain, medium-chain, and short-chain fatty acids was normal, and the activities of acidic, neutral, and alkaline lipase in cell extracts were normal. The disease seems to be due to a specific impairment in the degradation of triglycerides synthesized endogenously.

Distribution characteristics of selenium in different soybean products during processing

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals. Soybean has played an integral part in Asian foods for many centuries, it has been integrated into Western diets. Compared to inorganic Se, organic Se is safer and more effective for absorption by the human body. The Se concentration in soybean sprouts decreased significantly with the prolongation of germination time, while it remained stable without significant change in seed coat. The Se concentration of soya-bean milk and bean dregs decreased significantly with the increase of water-soybean ratio. The samples were divided into soybean sprouts and seed coats, and the Se concentration was determined. The Se-rich soybean was soaked at room temperature for 10 h according to the water-soybean ratio of 4:1. The Se distribution ratio in soya-bean milk increased rapidly with the increase of the water-soybean ratio in the range of 6:1–10:1; however, the opposite trend was observed in bean dregs.

Abstract 4201: Activation of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) and downstream targets are directly regulated by S100B protein in malignant melanoma

Abstract S100B is an effective and extensively used prognostic marker for melanoma, with increasing serum levels of S100B being predictive of disease stage, increased recurrence, and low overall patient survival. We have recently identified a mechanism by which S100B alters ERK-RSK signaling to facilitate the progression of melanoma. Elucidation of this novel mechanism will aid the development of new pharmacological drugs to inhibit tumor progression. We have identified and characterized several ERK-RSK downstream targets regulated by S100B expression. These data are consistent with a mechanism in which elevated S100B binds directly to RSK in a calcium-dependent manner to prevent ERK-mediated phosphorylation of RSK. Our structural studies have further elucidated the S100B-RSK interaction as a novel drug target in melanoma cells and we are currently screening compounds for inhibitors of the S100B-RSK interaction.

High throughput rapid amplicon sequencing for multilocus sequence typing of M. ovipneumoniae using DNA obtained from clinical samples

Abstract Background Spillover events of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae have devastating effects on wild bighorn sheep populations. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST), a common method for tracking bacterial lineages, is used to monitor spillover events and the spread of M. ovipneumoniae between populations. Most work involving M. ovipneumoniae typing has used Sanger sequencing, however, this technology is time consuming, expensive, and is not well suited to efficient batch sample processing. Our study aimed to develop and validate a workflow for multilocus sequence typing of M. ovipneumoniae using Nanopore Rapid Barcoding sequencing and multiplex PCR. We compare the workflow with Nanopore Native Barcoding library preparation and Illumina MiSeq amplicon protocols to determine the most accurate and cost-effective method for sequencing multiplex amplicons. Results A multiplex PCR was optimized for four housekeeping genes of M. ovipneumoniae using archived DNA samples from wild sheep. Sequences recovered from Nanopore Rapid Barcoding correctly identified all MLST types with the shortest total workflow time, and lowest cost per sample when compared to Nanopore Native Barcoding, and Illumina MiSeq methods. Conclusion Our proposed workflow serves as a convenient and effective diagnostic method for strain typing of M. ovipneumoniae , and could be applied to other bacterial MLST schemes. The workflow is suitable for diagnostic settings where reduced hands-on time, cost and multiplexing capabilities are important.

New Results about Microtubules as Quantum Systems

The latest news in quantum biology is the observation by the group led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay about detection of quantum vibration in microtubule scale - their lengths vary up to 50 μm. If this observation can be replicated, one can speak about breakthrough in quantum consciousness. 

The findings reported in an earlier talk of Banduopadhyay give support for the general TGD inspired view about topological quantum computation (TQC) and allow for a rather detailed model in the case of microtubules. The idea is that flux tubes form a 2-D coordinate grid consisting of parallel flux tubes in two different directions. Crossing points would be associated with tubulins and the conformational state of tubulin could define a bit coding whether the braid strands defining coordinate lines are braided or not (swap or not). In this manner any bit pattern at microtubule defines a particular TQC program. If also conformations are quantum superposed, one would have quantum-quantum computation. It however seems that conformation change is irreversible chemical reaction so that this option is not feasible. 

The TGD inspired modification of the proposal in terms of flux tube coordinate grids making possible TQC architectures with tubulin dimers defining bits defining in turn TQC program looks rather natural. Coordinate grids can be fixed on basis of the experimental findings and there are 8 of them. The interpretation is in terms of different resolutions. The grids for A and B type lattices are related by 2π twist for the second end of the basic 13-unit for microtubule. An attractive interpretation for the resonance frequencies is in terms of phase transitions between A and B type lattices. If A type lattices can be generated only in phase transitions induced by AC stimulus at resonance frequencies, one could understand their experimental absence, which is a strong objection against Penrose-Hameroff model. 

TGD suggests also a generalization of the very notion of TQC to 2-braid TQC with 2-D string world sheets becoming knotted in 4-D space-time. Now qubits (or their generalizations) could correspond to states of flux tubes defining braid strands as Penrose and Hameroff seem to suggest and the emergence of MTs could be seen as an evolutionary leap due to the emergence of a new abstraction level in cognitive processing.

Effects of the Social Climate of the Physical Education Class on Children’s Participation in Physical Activities: The Mediating Role of Relatedness

Background: Positive social climate can influence academic performance, satisfactory cognitive and emotional results, and higher sport commitment. However, the social climate within the physical education class has rarely been investigated. The aim of this study was, therefore, to investigate the impact of social climate within the physical education class on the participation of children in physical activities, considering the mediating role of perceived relatedness.\nMethod: This study followed a descriptive-correlational method. 384 children (192 girls) attending regular primary schools participated voluntarily in this study. Mean age of participants was 10.37 ± 1.07 years-old. Standard questionnaires were used to measure the research variables. Data was analyzed by the use of Pearson correlation test, independent t-test, and structural equation modeling.\nResults: Level of physical activity among children was almost low (2.10±1.09). In addition, boys had significantly higher amounts of physical activity than girls (t=-5.167, P&lt;0.001). Social climate in the physical education class had significant effects on the participation of children in physical activity (T=6.366). Also, perceived relatedness support was revealed to significantly affect physical activity (T=5.947). In addition, perceived relatedness support significantly mediated the association between social climate and physical activity (P&lt;0.001).\nConclusion: Social climate, relatedness support, and physical activity are critical concerns for children. Thus, there is a need to make a social and supportive climate in the physical education class. This can be achieved by increasing the quality of contacts and friendship among students.

Layout Driven Data Communication Optimization for High Level Synthesis

High level synthesis transformations play a major part in shaping the properties of the final circuit. However, most optimizations are performed without much knowledge of the final circuit layout. In this paper, we present a physically aware design flow for mapping high level application specifications to a synthesizable register transfer level hardware description. We study the problem of optimizing the data communication of the variables in the application specification. Our algorithm uses floorplan information that guides the optimization. We develop a simple, yet effective, incremental floorplanner to handle the perturbations caused by the data communication optimization. We show that the proposed techniques can reduce the wirelength of the final design, while maintaining a legal floorplan with the same area as the initial floorplan.

Hyperuricemia in predialysis chronic kidney disease patients in Southern Nigeria

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of hospitalization and death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Hyperuricemia has emerged as one of the nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors. Studies have shown that hyperuricemia plays a major role in the development of CVD and rapid progression of CKD to end-stage renal disease. Objective: The aim was to determine the prevalence and pattern of hyperuricemia in predialysis CKD patients attending a teaching hospital in Southern Nigeria. Methodology: One hundred and twenty consecutive predialysis CKD patients and 40 control subjects with normal renal function were recruited over 2 years. Data obtained from participants included demographics, body mass index, blood pressure reading, and etiology of CKD. Blood sampling was done for the determination of serum uric acid, creatinine, and fasting serum lipids. P < 0.05 were taken as significant. Results: The mean age of the CKD subjects was 48.8 ± 16.6 years with a male:female ratio of 1.7:1. The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the CKD subjects was 47.5% and this was significantly higher than 15% observed in the control group (P ≤ 0.001). The prevalence of hyperuricemia was highest in CKD stage 3b. Hyperuricemia was more prevalent in younger predialysis CKD subjects and those with hypertensive nephropathy. There was no significant association between hyperuricemia, obesity, gender and dyslipidemia in this study. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia is highly prevalent in young predialysis CKD patients even in the early stages. Measures to reduce hyperuricemia should be put in place especially lifestyle and dietary modification.

Free Vibration Analysis of Simply-supported Rectangular Plate with a Circular Cutout by Independent Coordinate Coupling Method

This paper is concerned with the vibration analysis of a simply-supported rectangular plate with a circular cutout. Even though there have been many methods developed for the free vibration of the rectangular plate with a rectangular cutout, very few research has been carried out for the rectangular plate with a circular cutout. In this paper, a new methodology called independent coordinate coupling method, which was developed to save the computational effort for the free vibration analysis of rectangular plate with a rectangular cutout, is applied to the case of circular cutout. The independent coordinate coupling method employs the global coordinate system for the plate and the local coordinate system for the cutout. In the case of the rectangular plate with a circular cutout, the global coordinate system is the Cartesian coordinate system and the local coordinate system is the polar coordinate system. By imposing the compatibility condition, the relationship between the global coordinates and the local coordinates is derived. This equation is then used for the calculation of the mass and stiffness matrices resulting in eigenvalue problem. The numerical results show the efficacy of the proposed method.

Perceptions of Students Towards The Scientist-Teacher-Student Partnership (STSP) in Medical Physics Subjects

Medical Physics is a branch of physics application that is developing very rapidly. Therefore, the contextualization of Medical Physics is crucial for future physics teachers. This research aims to implement Student-Teacher-Scientist Partnerships (STSP) in Medical Physics and explore students' perceptions of the learning experience through this program. STSP in this research involved prospective physics teachers as students, lecturers in medical physics courses as teachers, and medical physicists as scientists. The benefits of this research are to provide a learning experience of medical physics directly from experts (medical physicists) as a provision for prospective physics teachers to strengthen their knowledge of medical physics content and how to teach it, and to be a recommendation for learning strategies that support contextual physics learning. Implementing STSP in medical physics courses includes planning, implementation, and evaluation activities for one semester of lectures; lectures by the foremost scientists were held in 7 meetings (1 meeting = 2 x 60 minutes). The planning stage includes activities to equalize perceptions between scientists and related lecturers. The course was primarily student-centred, with case study discussions conducted online via Zoom meetings. The scientists were located in East Java Province, Indonesia, while the teachers and students were in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The evaluation stage was carried out by exploring students' perceptions of the program implementation, the results of which can later be used as a reference for the continuation of the program implementation. Results indicated that STSP activities facilitated easier comprehension of medical physics, increased interest in further study, and highlighted connections between course topics and secondary school curriculum.

The Merchant as Penitent: Francesco di Marco Datini and the Bianchi Movement of 1399

"The Merchant as Penitent: Francesco Datini and the Bianchi Movement of 1399." In the summer of 1399, amid war and plague, thousands of Italians donned white robes and joined the penitential "Bianchi" processions. Francesco Datini, the so-called Merchant of Prato, participated in one of these and left a record (ricordanza) of his and his companions' itinerary and supplies. Because of Datini's renown and this unique document historians have often referred to Datini's pilgrimage when writing of the Bianchi. Hitherto unutilized letters and account-book entries allow for a fuller picture of Datini's motivations and activities. From early on in the movement Datini was kept apprised of the enthusiasm of the people for the reconciliations and miracles which accompanied the Bianchi. His letters show belief in the movement's divine inspiration and in the efficacy of participation. Though an old man, he caught the enthusiasm of his younger associates and embarked with them in a nine-day procession from Florence to Arezzo. Nevertheless, he retained his fear for his soul and his unwillingness to turn away from this-worldly concerns.

Plains-Promontory Relationships

A reconsideration of material collected from Promontory Point, north central Utah (Steward 1937) suggests that Promontory-Plains relationships may be closer than hitherto realized. Moreover, while several traits of the Promontory culture occur in more than one Plains archaeological complex, some are limited to the Dismal River aspect, suggesting the possibility of close ties between the Dismal River and Promontory peoples. Steward noted that a few traits (hoop and dart game, hand game boneS, side notched projectile points, end scrapers) represented in the Promontory culture were also found in the Plains. Hill and Metcalf (1941: 188, 197) pointed out that tubular steatite pipes and blunt bone “punches” or “flakers” occurred in both Promontory and Dismal River. This paper enumerates still other resemblances.
