A total of 150 data points were collected through transcription from the maternity record of the Hospital to test significant factors that affect survival of child at birth. Analysis of logistic regression model was applied to the data using the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) package in R programming software. The results indicate that Type of delivery and weight at birth have the most significant influence on the probability of child survival at birth at 0.001 level of significance. Correlation analysis results show that all the five variables (age, parity, apgar, birth weight, and type of delivery) have a weak relationship, which implies that there is no multicollinearity in the data. Therefore, these results may help policy makers and health personnel to educate pregnant women on the effect of overweight baby at birth to reduce the incidence of deaths at birth. This study recommend that pregnant women should be educated about the effect of baby weight in a worm as that may increases the chance of caesarean section which in turn may affect the likelihood of child survival at birth. Further studies are suggested to consider factors like educational level, income of level of the family, antennal status, and blood pressure. A more advance community-based survey is recommended since not pregnant women attain formal health care facilities for antennal and postnatal services, which may expose more factors that influence child survival at birth.","PeriodicalId":477357,"journal":{"name":"Gadau Journal of Pure and Allied Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134932801","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":477357,"journal":{"name":"Gadau Journal of Pure and Allied Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135354461","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}

Global utilization and functional properties of probiotics from yoghurts, make it a good candidate for fortification and bioengineering. Yoghurt is the most popular fermented milk product that is biochemically altered by activities of special microorganisms to achieve desired functional and sensory properties. Due to global food crisis, and health challenges from metabolic disorders and drug resistance. The prospect of fortified and bioengineered yoghurt as an effective bacterio-therapy and nutrient deficiencies management approach is new trend among stakeholders. The aim of this review is to underscore the prospect of fortified and bioengineered yoghurt for the bacterio-therapy and nutrition deficiency management. In this review paper fortification and bioengineering was defined and the major aims of prospect for bacterio-therapy and nutrition deficiency management were presented. Yoghurt fortified with different vitamins and minerals ingredients that exhibit functional properties were discussed. The main problems for human health in today’s world is infectious diseases, so yearly gastrointestinal infections resulted to sickness and death significantly worldwide. Therefore, drinking of fortified and bioengineered fermented dairy products increase host metabolism by keeping the balance of intestinal micro flora and thus on the host have a positive effect. The new dairy products designed to be fortified and bioengineered can resolved the problems of nutritional deficiencies. However, fortification of yoghurt with elemental and micronutrients are still developing challenges due to oxidation, solubility and sensory acceptance. Likewise, all genetically modified organisms products (GMO), acceptance of bioengineered yoghurts is still a surmountable challenge with adequate education.","PeriodicalId":477357,"journal":{"name":"Gadau Journal of Pure and Allied Sciences","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135745779","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}
