Originality/value – This research is one of the first to combine the fit and viability models to understand what drives the adoption of AR technology.

Conceptual Level of the Prospective Teachers About Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills []


Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are thinking skills that require a cognitive process. Teachers are assumed to learn about these skills and how they can be promoted in their learning methods. The present study was conducted to explore the conceptual level of critical thinking and problem-solving skills of the prospective teachers in district Lahore. This study was qualitative in nature. Fifty prospective teachers at the university level were purposively selected who were willing to participate in the study. Two open-ended questionnaires (Questionnaires for Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills of Prospective Teachers) were used in this study. These instruments were developed by the researchers themselves after reviewing of the literature. The instruments were validated by three experts to ensure the measurement level of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The open-ended questionnaires were administered among the sample of prospective teachers of selected universities. Data analysis is represented in form of charts and word clouds with the help of NVivo 12. Responses of the participants were coded and then generate the themes, organizing categories and themes according to questions and then create charts and word clouds with the help of NVivo. Findings of the qualitative responses indicated that the awareness level of prospective teachers regarding to knowledge of problem-solving skills (85%) was better than the knowledge of critical thinking (26%). It was recommended that the curriculum planner have to need to revise the teaching training syllabus with regard to critical thinking and problem-solving skills to develop effective teachers for the future. Index terms--- Critical Thinking, Problem Solving Skills, and Prospective Teachers.

Lubricant Oil Degradation in a Compression Ignition Engine Fueled with Biodiesel []


Before biodiesel may be deployed on a greater scale in compression ignition engines, its long-term effects on lubricating oil properties and engine durability must be studied. This study examines the impact of a 20% chicken fat biodiesel-diesel mix on lubricating oil characteristics and engine longevity over a 512-hour endurance test compared to diesel. During the endurance test, lubricant characteristics were evaluated at regular intervals to see whether they exceeded the oil critical limits, and a modified oil change interval was calculated. The results demonstrated that biodiesel negatively affects lubricating oil performance and engine durability. However, the differences in attributes did not generate any significant operating issues. The kinematic viscosity and density variation was 6% and 13%, respectively. The biodiesel-fueled engine had a 5% lower flash-point, but the moisture content was 7% greater. Samples of lubricating fluid from both engines are analyzed by spectroscopy to identify engine component wear particles

The role of Adipose tissue as immunoregulatory, Maintaining Metabolism, as Potential Therapeutic and Preventive Target in Cancer and Autoimmunity (Part Fifth) []


Adipose tissue metabolism exerts an impact on whole-body metabolism. As an endocrine organ, adipose tissue is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of several hormones. Recent findings, have revised the concept of adipose tissues being a mere storage depot for body energy. Instead, adipose tissues are emerging as endocrine and immunologically active organs with multiple effects on the regulation of systemic energy homeostasis. Recently has emerged the notion that infl ammatory response accompanying obesity corresponds to a cytokine-mediated activation of innate immunity. Recent results have shown that stem cells within the stromal-vascular fraction of adipose tissue display a multilineage developmental potential. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells can be differentiated towards adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, myogenic and neurogenic lineages. It will be necessary to understand adipose tissue-specific signalling cascades and genes regulating adipose tissue-derived stem cell differentiation to various mesenchymal lineages. The study around adipose tissue dysfunction will help to understand the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and may bring effective therapy in treatment of metabolic syndrome related diseases. Therefore, this article mainly focuses on the roles of adipose tissue dysfunction in inflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and the role adipose tissue in immune cells.

The Psychological Stress of Patients’ with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Nigeria []


Nigeria, like many other African countries, has seen the emergence of chronic diseases such as stroke, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. In particular, the rapid increase in diabetes mellitus type 2 has become a national concern. The effect of social cognitive function associated with the stress from diabetes is also a serious concern within the adult populations (i.e., between the ages of 25-79 years). The knowledge gained from this study would enhance diabetes management and reduce complications. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between diabetes distress and the independent variables of knowledge, culture, religion, and spirituality in the northern and southern regions of Nigeria. Bandura's (2004) social cognitive theory was the bases for this study. The northern and southern regions of the country were chosen due to recognized differences in these variables. A combination of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire; Diabetes Distress Scale; and HIV/AIDS Knowledge, Attitude, and Beliefs Patient Questionnaire was used. The scores was analyzed using a t test, Pearson product- moment correlation, multiple regression, and a 1-way MANOVA. Diabetes distress was found to be higher for patients with more knowledge about diabetes (ß = 0.28, p < 0.001) and with higher cultural belief scores (ß = 0.32, p < .001). This study illustrated the relationships and trends between diabetes distress and other variables in these 2 regions of Nigeria. Equipped with this knowledge, other researchers may now consider the influence of knowledge and culture when developing trial-design and quality-improvement strategies that could contribute to a better quality of life and positive social change.

A STUDY OF COHESIVE DEVICES IN SELECTED NIGERIAN NEWSPAPERS: LEADERSHIP (HAUSA) AND THE SUN []


A reader may find it difficult to fully comprehend a text from difficulties in understanding the way writers creatively use cohesive devices to encode their messages and intentions in their works. Tying up of sentences and paragraphs together to form coherence in texts is solely achieved through effective use of the cohesive markers. Cohesion is described as a functional category under Systemic Functional Linguistics used in language description (see Halliday & Matthiessen 2014, pp. 602-655). The aim of this paper is to exemplify how cohesive devices of language are manifested in the editorials of Leadership Hausa and Saturday Sun. The objectives of the study are: (i) to identify cohesive devices in the editorials of the two newspapers; (ii) to examine the types of cohesive markers in the two texts and how they were used to encode messages by the writers. The study employed descriptive and analytical methods through identification, description and interpretation of the data for the research. Among the findings of the study were that: (i) there were 44 cohesive ties in the two texts and that Saturday Sun contained 27 while Leadership Hausa had 17; (ii) the margin of 10 cohesive ties between the Saturday Sun and Leadership Hausa was perhaps due to difference in languages used - English and Hausa as well as due to the variation in the topics of discourse; (iii) Reference, substitution, conjunction/transitional words were prominently used by Saturday Sun compared to Leadership Hausa; however, Leadership Hausa used various figures of speech while Saturday Sun had none. From the research, it can be concluded systemic functional approach to the study of cohesion under Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar appears effective in dissecting non-literary texts such as newspapers and magazines to promote reader’s comprehension of such texts. Key words: Cohesion, editorial, newspaper, language metafunction.

Perspective of Misinformation/Fake News in context of Supply Chain Disruption and Mass Media during pandemic like COVID-19 []


This study has explored perspective of Misinformation/fake news in context of mass media, panic buying behaviour and supply chain disruption during pandemic like COVID-19. For this purpose, the geographical data of 100 different countries were collected through cluster sampling from Reporter without Border and Economist Impact. The cross-sectional study is applied to determine correlation, regression and indirect effect of misinformation/mass media and panic buying behaviour on supply chain disruption by using mass media theory and applied mediation analysis process procedural version 4.1 in SPSS and Sobel Test to test Hypothesis. The results illustrate that there is strong Correlation of Mass Media and Panic Buying Behaviour with Supply Chain Disruption at 0.7614 or 76.14% with significant P value = 0.0000 < 0.01, supply chain disruption is 0.58 or 58% depend on Mass Media & Panic Buying Behaviour with significant P value = 0.0000 < 0.01 and there is indirect effect of panic buying behaviour between mass media and supply chain disruption at Z value = 2.44091992 with significant P value = 0.007325<0.01. These results are validated through criteria validity and reliability test is 0.70 or 70% more than 0.60 which is highly acceptable. In the end, it is concluded that Misinformation/fake news effected mass media’s credibility, increase panic among citizen and had adverse impact on supply chain process during pandemic like COVID-19. In this regard, pandemic issues can be solved through interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research.

A Study on the Effects of the Superstructure Stiffness in the Seismic Base Isolated Structures []


In this study, the improvement of the seismic behavior has been searched using the base isolation in the reinforced concrete school building, where the strengthening work was previously carried out. Firstly, the fixed supported structure model has been compared to the fundamental isolated models, in order to show the contribution of the seismic based isolation to the structural seismic behavior. Thus, the seismic behavioral differences of a seismic isolated structure and a fixed supported conventional structure and the contributions of the seismic isolation to the structural seismic behavior have been put forward. The dynamic analysis of the models with the same superstructural bearing system have been made for different soil characteristics and the effects of the soil characteristics of the seismic isolated structure have been detected, in order to show the effects of the different soil characteristics of an isolated structure. Finally, the superstructure models in the different stiffnesses have been used, in order to show the effects of the superstructural bearing system on the seismic base isolated structure. In the first model, it has been modeled by the placing of basic level isolation to the existing structure. In the second and third models, the concrete shear wall has been respectively put into the 5 story and 10 story building models at the rates 1 % and 2 %” of the floor area and the superstructural stiffness has been increased. The comparison of these three models has shown, at which rate the increase of superstructural stiffness contributes to the seismic behavior of the base isolated structure.

Alzheimer's disease Genetic Factors - Twin Concordance Study []


Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of global dementia. It affects people equally regardless of race or gender. The clustering of AD in a family has not gone unnoticed. Defective genes associated with AD have been found on chromosome 1, 14, 19, and 21. The defect in chromosome 1, 14, and 21 which is associated with Early Onset of AD (EOAD) is believed to be associated with Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) gene. This protein is believed to be associated with neurofibrillary tangle that that is associated with dementia of Alzheimer’s type. The defect found in chromosome 19 is believed to be associated with apolipoprotein E (APOE). The APOE gene that is associated with chromosome 19 is believed to be involved with the Late Onset AD (LOAD). Molecular genetics techniques such as Restricted Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) were used to determine genetic loci on the chromosomes mentioned above. These instruments were also used in revealing the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing and the area of mutation that caused the base substation. An example of such substitution is valine to isoleucine. If AD is hereditary, identical twins should have the same disease. The studies performed by many researchers and investigators, noted that genetic even when not completely responsible for AD, play a key role in the disease outcome. This study revealed that monozygotic concordance of AD patients is about 50% while dizygotic concordance is around 8%. However, these percentages do not agree with Mendel’s segregation pattern of inheritance thereby requiring further studies.
