Abstract

Occupational stress is a critical concern among healthcare personnel, as it directly affects both their psychological well-being and the overall quality of patient care. Excessive stress may lead to burnout, decreased job performance, and adverse emotional outcomes. Understanding the prevalence and determinants of occupational stress is therefore essential for developing effective intervention strategies. This study aimed to assess the level of occupational stress among healthcare personnel at Maiwand Teaching Hospital in 1404 H.S. (2025 Gregorian calendar) and examine variations across demographic and professional characteristics, including gender, age, marital status, department, education level, and years of experience. A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted, and a total of 174 healthcare personnel were selected through simple random sampling, with 168 completing the standardized HSE Job Stress Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, and findings were presented through descriptive statistics and graphical illustrations. The results revealed that 78% of participants experienced moderate stress, 20.8% reported low stress, and only 1.2% experienced high stress. Higher stress levels were more common among males, younger staff, nurses, and personnel in high-intensity departments, particularly the ICU. While moderate stress was also observed among staff in the Dermatology Department, the number of respondents reporting high stress in this department was minimal (0.6%), suggesting that workload and patient volume may contribute to moderate but not severe stress levels. Marital status, educational attainment, and professional experience also influenced stress distribution patterns. In conclusion, occupational stress remains a prevalent issue among healthcare personnel, with the majority experiencing moderate stress. Targeted interventions—such as stress management training, improved workload distribution, and enhanced professional support systems—are recommended to foster a healthier work environment and improve both staff well-being and healthcare delivery quality.

Abstract

This study investigates the hydroclimatic drivers of soil moisture decline in South-South Nigeria from 2000 to 2020, emphasizing implications for sustainable agriculture in rain-fed systems. Utilizing satellite-derived datasets including CHIRPS for precipitation, ERA5 for temperature, and SMAP/AMSR-E for soil moisture, integrated with GIS and statistical analyses (Mann-Kendall trends, Sen's slope, cross-wavelet coherence, and correlation), we reveal a consistent warming trend with maximum temperatures peaking at 28.38°C in 2020, erratic precipitation patterns with highs of 7.01 mm/day in 2015, and a ~6% soil moisture reduction (from 0.325 to 0.305 m³/m³). Correlations indicate a weak positive link between soil moisture and precipitation (r=0.124) and a strong inverse relationship with temperature (r=-0.614), highlighting a temperature-driven evapotranspiration as a primary deficit mechanism. Data limitations, such as satellite biases in vegetated tropics (RMSE 0.04–0.06 m³/m³ for SMAP), were addressed through literature-based validation and cross-referencing with regional benchmarks. These trends pose risks to staples like cassava and rice, projecting 10–25% yield losses. Actionable recommendations include adopting drought-resistant cultivars, conservation agriculture for enhanced retention (15–30%), community water harvesting, and satellite-based early-warning systems. This research informs climate-smart policies to bolster food security and ecosystem resilience amid escalating variability in tropical Africa.

Abstract

Rainfall and groundwater variability are critical for sustainable water-resource management in arid and semi-arid regions like Afghanistan. This study investigates the relationship between precipitsation and groundwater levels in the North River Basin, using long-term rainfall data (1979–2022) from 13 meteorological stations and groundwater observations from 216 wells across five sub-river basins during 2022–2023. Descriptive statistics and the Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI) were applied to assess temporal rainfall patterns, seasonal variability, and rainfall concentration. Groundwater trends were analyzed by comparing monthly and annual fluctuations in water-table levels. Results indicate a decline in precipitation from 1979–1999, followed by gradual recovery after 2000, with rising rainfall concentration in recent decades, particularly in the dry season. Groundwater data reveal significant fluctuations across the sub-river basins, with some areas experiencing drawdown, likely due to over-extraction or insufficient recharge. Correlation analysis highlights the influence of rainfall variability on groundwater levels, demonstrating the importance of understanding seasonal recharge dynamics. These findings provide insights into the coupling between rainfall and groundwater, offering valuable information for water-resource planning, drought mitigation, and sustainable management of aquifers in the North River Basin.

Abstract

Nutrition is one of the factors affecting the quality and durability of products. Silica element is considered as one of the useful nutritional elements for plants. Therefore, in the present study, this element was used to feed before harvesting Arugula vegetable (Eruca sativa (Mill.) Thell.) and to investigate its effects after harvesting. The seeds were cultivated in June, 2021 in boxes (10 x 25 x 35) containing a mixture of perlite (50%) and cocopeat (50%) and in the research greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Kurdistan, so that 15 plants were grown in each box in 3 rows. The experiment was carried out as a completely randomized design before harvesting and factorial after harvesting with two factors and in three repetitions. The first factor was silica at three levels (0, 5 and 10 mM), the second factor was storage times in cold storage at four levels (harvest time, 4, 7 and 10 days after storage). Applying silica (potassium silicate) treatments in the amount of (0, 5 and 10 mM) was added to Hoagland's nutrient solution and after the establishment of plants (ten days after seed cultivation) on a daily basis until the end of the experiment. Weighing and drying traits of roots and shoots, total yield, leaf nitrate content before harvest and weight loss traits, total soluble carbohydrate, total phenol, flavonoid and vitamin C after harvesting Arugula. became The results showed that silica (10 mM) had a greater effect on the growth rate of roots, stems and leaves and their wet and dry weight in Arugula plant. The increase of silica decreased the accumulation of nitrate in the leaves. The effect of this fertilizer on the plant after harvest was investigated and it was observed that the treatment of 10 mM silica had a positive effect compared to the treatment of 5 mM silica and the control. Arugula treated with silica was kept at 4 degrees Celsius for 0, 4, 7 and 10 days and it was observed that soluble carbohydrates, chlorophyll content, weight, vitamin C and other measured factors which are marketable factors of the product in the application of this Fertilizers were well preserved during the storage period. In general, the use of silica fertilizers as pre-harvest nutrition can be used to increase the shelf life of Arugula after harvesting.

Abstract

Flooding is a recurring hydrometeorological hazard in Halmahera Tengah Regency, North Maluku, causing environmental and socio-economic losses and highlighting the need for effective mitigation. This study aimed to develop a flood susceptibility map for the regency, which has lacked spatially based flood assessments despite frequent flood events. The analysis used a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) processed on Google Earth Engine, with five controlling variables: distance from permanent water bodies, elevation, Topographic Position Index (TPI), NDVI, and NDWI. The results show that Halmahera Tengah is dominated by moderate flood susceptibility, covering 125,458.40 ha or 56.40% of the area. High susceptibility covers 62,087.25 ha (27.91%), while low susceptibility covers 34,900.10 ha (15.69%). At the subdistrict level, flood susceptibility is unevenly distributed, with Weda Tengah, Weda Timur, and Weda Utara containing extensive moderate to high-risk zones. Model validation using ROC produced an AUC value of 0.827, indicating good model performance. The findings also align with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 13.1 on climate and disaster resilience, SDG 11.5 on reducing disaster impacts, and SDG 15.3 on land degradation and land cover management. Overall, the study shows that flood susceptibility mapping can support spatial planning, improve disaster preparedness, and strengthen future flood risk reduction efforts in Halmahera Tengah Regency.

Abstract

Uterine prolapse is a critical postpartum emergency in cattle that demands immediate intervention, since the everted mass is highly vulnerable to trauma, contamination, and haemorrhage, and any delay in repositioning markedly worsens the prognosis. This report describes the diagnosis and successful management of a complete uterine prolapse in a five-year-old crossbred Holstein cow presented eight hours after her fourth calving. On examination, a large, oedematous, dark-red mass with visible caruncles protruded from the vulva, accompanied by intense straining, systemic weakness, and cold extremities, confirming a diagnosis of uterine prolapse. The animal was restrained and caudal epidural anaesthesia was administered at the first sacrococcygeal interspace (S5-Co1) to abolish straining and permit manipulation of the mass. Because the prolapsed tissue carried several lacerations with active bleeding points, the case was classified as complicated; all bleeding points were sutured with chromic catgut (2-0), the mass was cleansed with a potassium permanganate solution, manually repositioned into the pelvic cavity, and the vulva was closed with a modified Buhner-type suture using sterile infusion-set tubing as the retention material. Postoperatively, the cow received five days of supportive therapy comprising intravenous fluids, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, an antihistamine, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, calcium borogluconate, and vitamin B-complex. Recovery was uneventful, the retention suture was removed after one week, and no recurrence was observed over a two-month follow-up period. This outcome confirms that prompt epidural anaesthesia, careful haemostasis, and infusion-tubing vulval retention together allow a favourable prognosis even in a complicated presentation of bovine uterine prolapse.

Abstract

The global agricultural sector faces mounting pressure to increase productivity while reducing its environmental footprint, water consumption, and dependence on fossil fuels. Electrical engineering has emerged as a central enabler of this transition, providing the power-generation, sensing, communication, control, and automation technologies that underpin modern smart agriculture. This review situates the convergence of electrical engineering and agriculture within the broader context of climate change, freshwater scarcity, and the need to feed a growing global population sustainably. A structured narrative review of 30 peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports published between 2008 and 2026 was conducted, drawn from IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, MDPI, Springer, and related databases, and organized around five thematic clusters: renewable power supply, sensing and communication infrastructure, machinery electrification, aerial robotics, and artificial intelligence integration. The reviewed literature shows that photovoltaic water pumping and agrivoltaic systems can reduce irrigation energy costs and diversify farm income while maintaining acceptable crop yields; energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks and low-power wide-area communication protocols extend the operational lifetime of field monitoring systems; battery-electric tractors and implements lower operating emissions but remain constrained by battery energy density and charging infrastructure; and unmanned aerial vehicles combined with machine learning substantially improve the precision of input application and crop monitoring. Electrical engineering innovations are collectively reshaping agriculture into a data-driven, energy-efficient, and more resilient sector, though widespread adoption still depends on cost reduction, interoperability standards, rural electrification, and farmer training.

Abstract

Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection remains a public health problem among young children due to their high risk of exposure to contaminated environments and inadequate hygiene practices. This study aimed to determine the presence and types of STH eggs in the feces of children aged 5–6 years in Matekko Village, Gantarang District, Bulukumba Regency. A cross-sectional study design was employed using purposive sampling. A total of 58 fecal samples were examined using native smear and sedimentation methods. The results showed that 22 samples (37.93%) were positive for STH infection. The identified helminth eggs were Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura. The sedimentation method detected 22 positive samples, while the native smear method detected 19 positive samples. In conclusion, STH infection was still found among children aged 5–6 years, with the sedimentation method demonstrating higher sensitivity than the native smear method. Early detection and routine screening of STH infections among young children directly contribute to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 by preventing parasite-induced morbidity and developmental impairment, while promoting hygiene and soil decontamination practices aligns with SDG 6.
