Phytoremediation of Physico-chemical Parameters in Wastewater Effluents from Car Wash Bays in Yenagoa Metropolis, Nigeria

Surface water pollution through the discharge of untreated wastewater is on the increase globally. Efforts made using conventional techniques had not yielded the needed results. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of some native aquatic plants for the removal of some physico–chemical parameters from car wash wastewater effluents in Yenagoa metropolis. The plants used for this study were lemna minor, nymphaea nouchalli, pistia-stratiotes, eichhornia crassipes and ceratophyllum demersum; while the physico-chemical parameters investigated in this study include pH, DO, COD, BOD5, NO3, PO4 and turbidity. The wastewater samples collected from car wash bays were analysed to determine the level of the physico-chemical parameters concentrations using standard methods. The experiment was conducted in a green house for 42 days retention period. The results indicated that the cultured plants reduced the physico-chemical parameters to a minimum level, except DO, which increased in concentration. Therefore, they are considered good bioremediators of the parameters under review and the bioremediation potentials of the plants are in the order of P. stratiotes > L. minor > E. crassipes > N. nouchalli> C. demersum. It is therefore recommended that these plants should be used to treat wastewater effluents based on the investigated physico-chemical parameters.
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN WORKING MEMORY AND CREATIVITY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Creativity and working memory are academic and professional success markers. Paradoxically, correlational studies do not always find associations between these constructs; some studies show positive associations between them and others show negative associations. Probably, the contradictory findings arise from different parameters, because of that it is important to identify them in order to have a more coherent understanding of this relationship. Thus, this systematic literature review aimed to answer the questions: “What is the relationship between working memory and creativity? Do update and serial recall mnemonic processes also interfere in the production of convergent or divergent thinking? ” For this purpose, a survey of specific descriptors generated 384 articles found in Scopus, Web of Science and Pubmed databases, from which fifteen studies were selected. Despite the methodological variability between the selected studies, the results found suggest association between working memory and creativity, which are explained by the attentional, inhibitory, analytical and motivational processes involved. A systematic review of these studies concluded that the characteristics of experimental tasks to study creativity and working memory used can influence the results of this association. It is also possible to infer that working memory overload can impair creative performance.
Mesohabitat heterogeneity in four mediterranean streams of the Jucar river Spain

Mesohabitat heterogeneity in four mediterranean streams of the Jucar river basin (Eastern Spain) The hydromorphological units or mesohabitats of the headwaters of four Mediterranean streams were studied by classifying them according to their length, width, average and maximum depth, percentage of substrate and water volume. These characteristics of the streams were assessed over four consecutive years (2003-2006). The main objective of the study was to analyse the spatial and temporal pattern of the physical attributes of the mesohabitats. Classification strength and dendrograms were examined for each stream, mesohabitat type, and combination of stream and mesohabitat type and for stream mesohabitat type and year, whereas Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling ordination (NMDS) was used to analyse classification patterns. The Villahermosa and Ebrón streams were more homogeneous than the Palancia and Vallanca streams, whereas riffles and glides were more homogeneous than pools and rapids. The NMDS indicated that the slow water-velocity (pools, glides) and fast (riffles, rapids) mesohabitats tended to group together. Temporally, the Ebrón stream pools were homogeneous and very stable over the four years, whereas the Vallanca and Villahermosa pools showed a certain degree of variability. The Palancia pools were the most variable and heterogeneous during the study period. These results underscored the importance of separating different types of deep, slow-velocity habitats in mesohabitat inventories and the importance of evaluating habitat classifications in eco-hydromorphological and hydrobiological studies, especially in Mediterranean streams and rivers.

Occupational stress and work engagement among military police officers

This paper investigates the levels of occupational stress and work engagement among military police officers. This cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study was conducted with 268 police officers from the 3 Military Police Battalion of Paraná state. We observed significant levels of occupational stress in 125 (46.7%) police officers. The main stressors were lack of career growth prospects (3.7; ±1.3); inadequate training (3.4; ±1.2); discrimination/favoritism in the work environment (3.1; ±1.4); long working hours (3.0; ±1.4); distribution of tasks (2.7; ±1.1); control type (2.7; ±1.1); gaps in disclosing information about organizational decisions (2.7; ±1.2); low valuation (2.7; ±1.2). Levels of work engagement ranged from 3.8 [medium] to 4.1 [high]. The correlation between occupational stress and work engagement was low for the dimensions of Absorption (r: -.284; p<0.001) and Overall Score (r: -0.393; p<0.001) and moderate for the dimensions Vigor (r: -0.422; p<0.001) and Dedication (r: -0.414; p<0.001). We concluded that an important number of police officers had shown occupational stress. However, they displayed good levels of work engagement and are enthusiastic, inspired, and proud of their work.

Chapter 6 Subject inversion in French object relatives: What’s your preference?

Subject inversion in French is usually considered to be optional (Le Bidois 1952; Kayne & Pollock 1978) and more costly than variants with preverbal subject. As the result of verb movement (Hulk & Pollock 2001), it is claimed to demand higher processing cost (Holmes & O’Regan 1981). However, some studies suggest that subject inversion in relative clauses may even be favoured by certain semantic or heaviness constraints (Fuchs 2006; Marandin 2011). In this paper, we take an empirical approach to this question. In our corpus study using the French Treebank described in Abeillé et al. (2019), we found that subject inversion in object relatives can be as frequent as cases without inversion. We also found that inversion is preferred with longer subjects and shorter and non-agentive verbs. This pattern was confirmed in an acceptability judgement experiment as well as in a self-paced reading experiment. Thus, object relatives with and without inversion are not merely stylistic variants (i.e. two equivalent syntactic ways of expressing one meaning), but are more or less preferred depending on their properties. Our results are compatible with semantic accounts of relative clause processing (Mak et al. 2006; Traxler et al. 2002).
ESP: A NEEDS ANALYSIS OF MARITIME ENGLISH

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has long been known for its marine potential. This potential comes with new challenges, one of them being language problems. In this regard, English shows its prominent role as the international language to bridge communications. This research provided a needs analysis to identify the “necessities”, “lacks”, and “wants” concerning English usage in the maritime sector, specifically for those conducting internships at international ships. A qualitative approach and a descriptive design were applied in this research. The respondents consisted of 19 students of Polimarin who had completed an internship at international ships, selected through total sampling technique. A questionnaire, complemented by interviews, collected their responses. The collected data were then processed through a model consisting of four stages; data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The “necessities” analysis revealed speaking and vocabulary as the most needed language skill and components. The “lacks” analysis showed that the syllabus used pays attention to English language skills and components evenly and that some respondents were underprepared before doing internship. The “wants” analysis came up with the simple present tense and the simple past tense as the most wanted tenses to master, pronouns as the most wanted grammatical feature and passive voice as the least wanted, all language functions evenly wanted, and group discussion as the most preferred learning activity. In conclusion, syllabus revision is due to improve the quality of English learning by accommodating the students’ “necessities”, “lacks”, and “wants”.

Biodiversity of commercially important groupers (Epinephelidae) in Aceh, Indonesia: A checklist

The groupers, locally known as “kerapu” in Indonesia, are commercially valuable fish in Indonesia, including Aceh. The groupers are the first fish family to be plundered in most countries’ fisheries industries. However, the biodiversity information of the groupers fished in Aceh is limited. This study was aimed to inventories the grouper species landed in Aceh fish landing sites. The data collection was performed in some fish landing locations (TPI) located in Aceh. In general, this study revealed that Aceh has high grouper diversity. In total, 35 species of the Epinephelidae family were recorded. Epinephelus was the dominant genus found, followed by Cephalopholis, Plectropomus, Variola, Aethaloperca, Anyperodon, and Hyporthodus. Simeulue, Weh island, and Banda Aceh were the locations with the highest diversity of grouper in Aceh. Overall, the data collected from this study would be beneficial for the future management plan of grouper in Aceh and Indonesia.
Evaluation of EHR Access Control in a Heterogenous Test Environment ∗

Since the advent of smartphones, IoT and cloud computing, we have seen an industry-wide demand to integrate diﬀerent healthcare applications with each other and with the cloud, connecting multiple institutions or even countries. But despite these trends, the domain of access control and security of sensitive healthcare data still raises a serious challenge for multiple developers and lacks the necessary deﬁnitions to create a general security framework that addresses these issues. Taking into account newer, more special cases, such as the popular heterogeneous infrastructures with a combination of public and private clouds, fog computing, Internet of Things, the area has become evermore complicated. In this paper we will introduce a categorization of the required policies, describe an infrastructure as a possible solution to these security challenges, and then evaluate it with a set of policies based on real-world requirements.
Social Diversity on Corporate Boards in a Country Torn by Civil War

We examine how social diversity and inclusiveness on corporate boards affect corporate performance and monitoring in Sri Lanka, a country subject to decades of polarization, civil war, and even genocide. Barely more than a decade after the civil war, we find that board social diversity on the basis of ethnicity, religion, language, gender, and nationality of the board members is positively related to corporate performance, both in terms of stock market performance and accounting returns, and to corporate financial stability. The main positive effects of social diversity derive from ethno-linguistic inclusiveness. The results are confirmed by an instrumental variable approach that addresses endogeneity issues. We find no evidence that inter-personal and moral conflicts or communication problems among board members negatively affect firm performance.
Opportunity-Sensing Capability and Entrepreneurial Mindset of Domestic Airlines in Nigeria

This study examined the relationship between opportunity-sensing capability and entrepreneurial mindset of domestic airlines in Nigeria. The study adopted an explanatory cross sectional survey research design which was carried out at the organizational level of analysis. The population of this study was the nine (9) operational scheduled domestic airline operators in Nigeria. The managers involved were: Station Manager, Cabin Service Manager, Director of Airline Services, Operations Manager and Regional Manager. The study adopted the entire population as a census. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained using the Cronbach alpha reliability instrument with all items scoring above 0.70. The Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was utilized to establish the level of relationship as hypothesized with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between opportunity sensing capability and entrepreneurial mindset of domestic airlines in Nigeria. It was concluded that opportunity sensing capability supports entrepreneurial mindset of domestic airlines in Nigeria. It was recommended that Domestic airlines must engage in opportunity sensing behaviours such as new exploration, support new ideas, experiment, and stimulate creativity, and must seize business opportunities in the market proactively and obtain first-mover advantages by entering unexplored domains.
Towards an AI Holodeck: Generating Virtual Scenes from Sparse Natural Language Input

The Holodeck , a virtual reality simulator from the television show Star Trek, is known as the “holy grail” of interactive narrative experiences. However, while there have been approaches to various components of a theoretical Holodeck, scene generation from dialogue is often overlooked. This paper introduces a prototype AI Holodeck application for scene generation, demonstrating the use of Natural Language Processing and a corpus of spatial data. The application creates scenes from user input text and ﬁlls those scenes with objects and relationships not explicitly deﬁned by the user. This paper discusses potential use cases of scene generation in creating environments for interactive narrative, virtual reality, and other development opportunities.

Fishers and whales in Iceland: Whale interactions with fishing gear from the fishers’ perspective, with a focus on humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)

In Iceland, and many other places globally, the detrimental impacts of whale interactions with fishing gear on both fisheries and whales are not well understood or managed. This study conducted anonymous questionnaires of Icelandic fishers and interviews of capelin purse seine boat captains to gather first‐hand knowledge of the issues the fishers face due to whale interaction with their fishing gear. Results suggest that the humpback whale is the most common of the large whale species to become entangled or encircled in fishing gear and cause damage; however, on occasion other large whale species are interacting with gear as well. Interactions between humpback whales and fishing gear appears to be primarily concentrated in the north/northeast and southwest of the country where there is high fishing effort as well as a known humpback whale feeding habitat. Humpback whale interactions with gear occurred most often with capelin purse seines, which are targeting humpback whale prey, and data suggests that bycatch of whales in this fishery may be under‐reported. Damage and losses due to whale collisions with gear were reported to cost fishers up to a maximum of 55.000. 000ISK per incident, suggesting this can be a costly issue for which mitigation measures should be explored. The use of acoustic ‘pingers’ is one mitigation measure that has been previously tested by capelin purse‐seiners and is something that captains indicated they would be interested in continuing to try. The creation of a whale entanglement/whale‐gear interaction reporting system in Iceland would aid in gathering more data, quantifying these events and determining what the consequences are to both the fishers and the whales. This study provides new information about the consequences of large whale interactions with Icelandic fisheries and suggests that future collaboration with fishers can provide insight contributing to best management practices for sustainable fishing and whale conservation.
