Method: This study was carried out with 125 obese individuals aged between 19-65 who did not have any chronic diseases and participated in the study voluntarily. The questionnaire used in the study consisted of five parts, including personal information, general diet, anthropometric measurements, frequency of food consumption and 24-hour food consumption record. Body Mass Index was used to identify obese individuals. The Nutrition Information Systems Package Program (BEBIS 8.2) was used to evaluate the nutritional status, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 program was used to analyze the statistical data. Results: It was determined that there were statistically significant and negative correlations between the daily protein (%) intake of obese individuals and the values of Body Weight, BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Waist Circumference and Waist/Hip circumference (p<0.05). In addition, a statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the daily protein (%) intake of obese individuals and the Body Muscle Percentage values (p<0.05). Conclusion: As the daily protein (%) intake of obese individuals increases, Body Weight, BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Waist Circumference and Waist/Hip circumference values decrease, and as daily protein (%) intake increases, Body Muscle Percentage values increase. Positive effects were detected in anthropometric measurements with increasing protein amount.","PeriodicalId":14256,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Technological Research","volume":"184 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76272505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Sustainable Improvement of Residual Lateritic Soils Using Alum","authors":"Joshua O. Owoseni","doi":"10.7176/jstr/7-10-06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/jstr/7-10-06","url":null,"abstract":"Cement stabilization has gained popularity in the tropics despite its known side effects. In Nigeria, a developing nation for instance, high cost and negative environmental impacts accompanying the use of cement constitute major drawbacks raising concerns. These shortcomings often make more sustainable alternatives necessary in a depressed economy. The current study explores the effects of alum on swelling potentials and strength of fine-grained Nigerian lateritic soils with a view to ascertaining the viability of the additive as cost-effective, eco-friendly and sustainable substitute for improving engineering properties of the soils as highway embankment or pavement materials. Particle-size analysis and Atterberg limits tests conducted according to British Standards (BS 1377) and ASTM-D4318 respectively, aided in AASHTO classification of the un-treated soils as A-6 (clayey soil), A-4 (silty soil) and A-7-5 (clayey soil). These are poor to fair subgrade materials requiring stabilization. Similarly, high amounts of fines in the natural soils suggest susceptibility to recurring shrink and swell during alternating dry and wet seasons typical of tropical regions. However, alum-treated soils show reduction in plasticity with strong negative correlations. This implies reduction in swelling potentials and improvement in strength with alum treatment. Also, California bearing ratio (CBR) and shear strength, which followed the British Standards indicate strong positive correlations with alum content for the granite- and charnockite-derived soils. This indicates improved strength. Generally, the results suggest that alum has the potential to improve plastic fine-grained lateritic soils in line with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing general specification for roads and bridges, with combined engineering, economic and environmental benefits. engineering tests were conducted, viz: consistency limits, CBR and Triaxial unconsolidated-undrained tests. The consistency limits tests followed the ASTM-D4318 specifications while the CBR and triaxial tests were conducted in accordance with the British standard, BS 1377 (1990) specifications. For the triaxial unconsolidated-undrained test, confining pressures of 100, 200 and 300 kPa were applied.","PeriodicalId":14256,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Technological Research","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91272148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Investigation of the Effects of MK-801 on Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Ghrelin Levels in Brain Tissue in Convulsions Caused by Scopolamine Administration and Feeding in Starving Mice","authors":"M. Berkoz","doi":"10.7176/jstr/7-10-01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/jstr/7-10-01","url":null,"abstract":"This research Abstract In this study, the effect of MK-801, one of the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, on convulsions that occurred in mice that were given scopolamine and then fed experimentally after 48 hours of fasting was investigated. In our study, 36 Balb/C adult male mice weighing 25-30 g were used. Mice were randomly selected and divided into 6 groups. These are control, scopolamine (3 mg/kg/ i.p. ), low dose MK-801 (0.17 mg/kg/ i.p. ), high dose MK-801 (0.51 mg/kg/ i.p. ), scopolamine + low dose MK- 801 and scopolamine+ high dose MK-801 groups. After the injections, the animals in all groups were taken to the monitoring cages and fed 20 minutes after the injections. Convulsion onset times and severity of animals in all groups were measured. At the end of the follow-up period, animals in all groups, including the control group, were sacrificed under anesthesia with ketamine (50 g/kg/ i.p. ) and xylazine (10 mg/kg/ i.p. ), their blood was drawn and brain tissues were isolated. Blood ghrelin levels of all animals and some oxidative stress and inflammation markers and ghrelin levels in brain tissue were measured. Analysis of the study was done using SPSS v16.0 statistical program. The statistical significance level was taken as p <0.05 in the calculations. It was observed that scopolamine administration caused a decrease in catalase and superoxide dismutase activities and ghrelin levels, and increased protein oxidation and inflammatory response. MK-801 treatment has been found to both delay the incidence of convulsions and suppress oxidative stress and inflammation ( p <0.05). We think that these effects of MK-801 are due to the increased ghrelin level, as the application of MK-801 also causes an increase in the level of ghrelin.","PeriodicalId":14256,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Technological Research","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88688024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the areas where the digitalization process has started and continues rapidly is population and registry information. However, the existing systems are sometimes insufficient to present the log information clearly. Existing systems used in relevant government institutions and libraries can only present kinship ties in a hierarchical structure due to the lack of necessary infrastructure resources. The family tree created is insufficient to establish parallel relationships. However, it is obvious that in most judicial and institutional cases, it will shed light on the current situation in parallel kinship relations. In addition, existing genealogies are insufficient to reveal semantic patterns between the concepts of family, person, place, time, and event while listing kinship relations. In addition to all these, the existence of cultural differences between nations and the expression of kinship relations with different terms require the definition of a common family tree. In this study, semantic web technologies, ontologies, and related data, which have been widely used in many fields in recent years, are structured to provide a clearer conceptualization of kinship relations. The study also discusses the alignment and reusability of the developed genealogical ontology with upper-level ontologies so that it can be used more broadly.","PeriodicalId":14256,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Technological Research","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85751026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
