Microflora and chemical composition of Momoni, a Ghanaian fermented fish condiment

Abstract A total of 67 microbial strains were isolated from momoni , a Ghanaian fermented fish condiment obtained from retail outlets. The strains belonged to nine genera of micro-organisms namely Bacillus , Lactobacillus , Pseudomonas , Pediococcus , Staphylococcus , Klebsiella , Debaryomyces , Hansenula and Aspergillus with Bacillus having a predominant occurrence of 37.7%. Average values of 5.8×10 7 –4.1×10 8 cfu/g were obtained for the microbial count. The chemical constituents of fermented fish condiment were a moisture content of 50%, protein values of 16.8–21.9%, a titratable acidity of 2%, and a pH of above 6.0. The predominant amino acid of the momoni samples was glutamic acid (12.4–14.5%). The high pH and the low level of lactic acid bacteria (10 3 cfu/g) and the high salt content of momoni (294–310/kg) suggest that the fermentation process of the fish condiment is mediated by the endogenous enzymes of the fish rather than the associated micro-organisms.
The Bio-availability of Sulfomethoxazole and its Effects on Soil Functions with Cu co-addition in soil

Antibiotics and heavy metals are often co-occurrence in animal feces/manures, and then are detected to coexist in soil and organic fertilizer samples. To evaluate the interactive effects of antibiotics and heavy metals on soil microbial ecology, the present study investigated the effects of sulfomethoxazole singly or in combination with Copper (Cu) on soil function and its bio-availability in soil. Results showed that there was a higher bioavailability at the initial time of test, and it was lithely affected by Cu addition in the whole investigation. The inhibition of SMX on urease and soil nitrification increased with the increase of SMX spiking levels without Cu co-addition or not. When applied together, the negative effects on urease activity were lighter compared to that in the SMX single treatments.However,cooccurrence of SMX and Cu had more serious inhibition than SMX single treatments did on soil potential nitrification rate.
EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTATION OF CHELATED MINERALS ON FEED CONVERSION EFFICIENCY OF BUFFALO CALVES

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of supplementation of chelated minerals on feed conversion efficiency in buffalo calves (6 to 12 months of age). Fifteen buffalo calves were divided into three groups each having five animals in such a way that mean body weight was similar (P>0.05) among the groups. Each group was assigned to one of the following diets as: control diet with conventional mineral mixture (T1), diet with 50% conventional mineral mixture replace with chelated minerals (T2) and diet with 100% conventional mineral mixture replace with chelated minerals (T3). The results of the study revealed that on or after 45 days there was significantly higher (P<0.05) body weight gain in T3 treatment as compared to control T1. The average daily gain then follow similar trend till the end of experiment. Average daily weight gains at the end of experiment, for the corresponding groups were 560.00, 613.33 and 693.00 g/d, respectively. Daily dry matter intake on or after 45 days of experiment was significantly (P<0.05) higher in calves fed concentrate mixture supplemented with chelated minerals (T3) replacing 100% levels of inorganic mineral as compared to fed concentrate mixture supplemented with inorganic mineral mixture (T1). The results show that after 45 days feed conversion efficiency values were significantly (P<0.05) increased in T3 treatments as compared to T1. The present study concluded that feeding of chelated minerals has beneficial effect on feed conversion efficiency of buffalo calves.
Use of the Average and Fluctuating Velocity Components for Estimation of Volitional Rainbow Trout Density

Abstract The relationship between discharge and fish density in streams is commonly accepted to be curvilinear, progressing from low discharge and low fish density to a peak and then declining to high discharge and low fish density. Discharge is related to water velocity; in general, as discharge increases velocity increases. Habitat complexity is an important aspect of salmonid ecology; more complex habitats support higher fish densities. Habitat complexity also influences the flow of water through the process of flow separation and turbulence production. More complex habitats generally exhibit higher levels of turbulence even though both may have similar average velocities. We tested whether the physical link between habitat complexity and turbulence was correlated with fish density. Turbulent kinetic energy and average velocity for three different levels of discharge and habitat complexity were measured in a flume. Turbulent kinetic energy was found to predict fish density, whereas average velocity did.

A new oligocene astrapothere (mammalia, meridiungulata) from patagonia and a new appraisal of astrapothere there phylogeny

Synopsis The new genus and species Maddenia lapidaria from pre‐Deseadan (Oligocene) deposits at the southern cliff of Lake Colhue Huapí (Chubut Province, Argentina) is described. This small Oligocene astrapothere represents an adaptive type that is distinct from the usual one proposed for post‐Casamayoran (Eocene) forms. Because of its small body size and dental characters, preliminarily interpreted as primitive, this genus was originally considered to be a member of the Albertogaudryinae surviving into the Oligocene and coexisting with more derived species. However, a phylogenetic analysis based on dental and mandibular characters indicates that Maddenia lapidaria is, rather, the sister group of the giant Deseadan and later astrapotheriids by sharing with them a well developed upper molar crista and crochet, P4 lingual valley, p2 absent and superficial premolar and molar hypoflexid. Maddenia lapidaria has highly molarised upper premolars, representing the top‐most expression of the evolutionary trend of increasing premolar complexity in the Astrapotheria. Asubsequent evolutionary turnover resulted in a reduction of the size and number of premolars and secondary occlusal simplification, coinciding with an abrupt increase in hypsodonty and body size that characterise the more advanced astrapotheriids. This interpretation challenges the progressive acquisition of astrapotheriid characters traditionally accepted for the group. The moderately deep premolar and molar hypoflexid seen in Maddenia lapidaria is interpreted as the ancestral condition for the younger astrapotheres, which, on the one hand, would have evolved into the complete reduction of this structure in the Uruguaytheriinae and, on the other hand, the development of a deep labial vertical cleft in the Astrapotheriinae (Astrapotherium and Astrapothericulus).
Relation between Self-Stigma Andrecoveryattitude in Schizophrenic Patients

Background: Peoplewith schizophrenia have a major obstacle to recovery. It is still morecomplex to manage self stigma than dealing with public stigma, whichgreatly deteriorate self-concept andreduce the likelihood of a good prognosisfor recovery. Aim of study:to assess therelation between self-stigma and recovery attitude in schizophrenic patient.Subjects andMethods:The present study followed a correlation descriptive research design.Subjects:A convenient sample of 160 patients with schizophrenia. Tools: The data of this study was collected using the following tools:Tool I: Socio-demographic and clinical data sheet.Tool II: The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI) Self-stigma, The ISMI-10 has strong psychometric properties and is a practical, reliable, and valid alternative to the original ISMI-29.Tool II: Recovery Assessment Scale: Recovery was measured by the 24-item Recovery Assessment Scale, this instrument has good psychometric properties and has good internal consistency. Results:There was significant negative statistical correlation between internalized stigmawith recovery attitude. In addition, the study results found that the majority of the participants had high level of internalized stigma and the majority of the participants had negative attitude toward recovery from mental illness. Moreover, age,occupation, education level, duration of illness and number of hospital admissions had significant statistical difference with internalized stigma and recovery attitude.Conclusion and recommendation:Internalized stigma is related negatively to the recovery. It is essential to tailor internalized stigma reduction interventionsand evaluate the effectiveness of anti-stigma interventionon recovery inthe routine care of schizophrenic patients. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 29-04-2020 Date of Acceptance: 13-05-2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Islamic Banking: A Comparative Survey with Christianity and Conventional Banking

Nigeria as a secular state is dominated by Christianity and Islam hence the name Islamic Banking raises curiosity. This study is purely a theoretically based discussion on Islamic accounting, banking and finance in Nigeria. Nigeria is generally recognized and widely referred to as the ‘giant of Africa’. Again, she is being recognized and looked upon to be the hub of economic development of the whole of Africa. To maintain this great name, Nigeria has to improve her economy in all ramifications, hence, the issue of Islamic accounting, banking and finance among scholars provided evidence of economic benefits and development in Nigeria and among countries that have Islamic financial institutions (IFIs). The primary characteristics of Islamic Banking are; prohibition of interest, low consumer lending, sharing of risks, sharing of profit or loss and high real sector investing, which seem to be in divergence with the conventional banking concept and practice. The Study adopted a literary review of Islamic and Christian literature on economic matters in relation to their faith/ belief system. The principal information apart from commentaries of scholars are derived from the Holy Bible and the Quran. The concept can also refer to the investments that are permissible under Shariah. This study recommends that both the government and promoters of Islamic accounting, banking and finance should make sincere effort through collaboration that will bring about a more detailed guideline for full operationalization of Islamic accounting, banking and finance in Nigeria.
FLEXIBLE WINGS FOR HARVESTING AND STORING SOLAR ENERGY IN UNMANNED AIR VEHICLES

Flexible energy harvesting/storage components are being used on Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) to increase operational performance, particularly to increase flight time. We have developed highly compliant, multifunctional composite structures for the wings of a novel flapping wing UAV platform known as “Robo Raven”, using a new layered manufacturing technique. Robo Raven is capable of flight using just flapping or in a mixed-mode using flapping and conventional propellers. Changes in the aerodynamic loads were characterized throughout the flapping cycle to understand the effects of integrating the flexible energy harvesting/storage materials on wing mechanics. Both aerodynamic and multifunctional performance models were developed to understand how integration of flexible solar cells and flexible batteries into the wings influences flight performance, in particular flight endurance. Multifunctional wing structures with mass simulating the energy harvesting/storage structures were compared with both regular wings and previously developed multifunctional wings with flexible solar cells. Fitting the models to the experimental data to determine the modeling parameters, it was possible to predict flight gains of up to 40% at the maximum flight time of 4 Hz for all of the multifunctional wing structures over the regular wings.
Diabetic Patients’ Quality of Life and Their Relationship in Compliance with Antidiabetic Treatment. Case Study of Patients in a Public Hospital in Greece

Background & Aim: Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects nearly half a million people worldwide. Although advances in technology and medical science have made diabetes management easier today, self-care and adherence to treatment (medication, diet, exercise, etc.) remain a major challenge for diabetic patients. The purpose of this study is to study the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes, their levels of compliance with antidiabetic treatment, and the relationship between the two. Methods & Materials: The present work followed the quantitative approach. A well-structured and reliable questionnaire used in a previous study was distributed to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results were analysed in SPSS statistical program and the correlation between antidiabetic treatment and quality of life was examined using Pearson coefficient. Results: The study involved 165 patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized at the General Hospital of Messinia. Among the dimensions of adherence to treatment, only personal care behaviour (p <0.05) and adherence to care (p <0.05) were significantly and positively correlated with the physical quality of life health. Conclusion: Patients with type 2 diabetes have moderate the low quality of life, in line with previous research findings. Lower extremity care compliance was associated with the quality of life of diabetic patients with physical health, although previous studies have generally found that compliance with a diet regimen as well as adherence to medication is associated with the quality of life of diabetic patients. Future research needs to address the same issue by taking larger and more representative samples.
Analysis of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Implementation in SMEs in East Kalimantan Indonesia

- The ERP (Enterpise Resource Planning) system is designed to coordinate the resources, information and activities required in the company's business processes. Successful implementation of ERP system can provide an increase in terms of effectiveness and efficiency of business operations at the company. But the realization implementation of ERP systems into a very complex process, so that not infrequently encountered failure in its application. Failure in the implementation of ERP systems resulted in enormous losses for the company. Thus the correct analysis is needed in order to achieve the successful implementation of ERP to benefit from its application. This research is a quantitative research using three independent variables: top management support, effective project management, and user engagement. The purpose of this research is to analyze the critical factors that can improve the success of the implementation process of ERP systems in SMEs in East Kalimantan. The method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the research simultaneously show that there is a significant influence between the key factors on the success of implementation. While the partial factor of top management support, effective project management quite significant effect. However, the factor of user engagement has no significant effect on the success of ERP implementation.
A new species of Trypanosyllis (Polychaeta: Syllidae) from the Levantine coast of Turkey (eastern Mediterranean)

The examination of rock and stone samples collected at 0.2–3 m in Mersin Bay (Levantine coast of Turkey) revealed the presence of 14 specimens belonging to a new species of Syllidae (Polychaeta), Trypanosyllis sanmartini. The species is mainly characterized by having dark reddish-brown dorsal cirri, pale yellowish body colour, weakly bidentate falcigers, long and filiform dorsal cirri, long proventricle and pharynx, and a trepan with ten large teeth (without a pharyngeal mid-dorsal tooth). The posterior-most segments of the holotype and five paratypes had a cluster of stolons. The morphology and reproductive features of the species are explained and discussed.
SEASONAL TILLER POPULATIONS OF GRASS AND GRASSJCLOVER SWARDS WITH AND WITHOUT IRRIGATION

The number of tillers per unit area of pure swards of S23 and S24 perennial ryegrass, S37 cocksfoot, S48 timothy and of a S23 perennial ryegrass/white clover sward, were examined at intervals of 4 weeks during a period of two years. The monthly appearance of new tillers and the death of tillers of S23 and S24 ryegrass and S48 timothy were followed for 15 months. The studies were made with and without irrigation. The number of tillers varied with season through the year. Tiller numbers increased rapidly in late winter or early spring, and then declined until midsummer. Numbers rose again between June and August. This seasonal pattern of tiller numbers was most marked in ryegrass and timothy and least in cocksfoot. The effect of irrigation on tiller numbers was variable, and usually small in relation to the overall seasonal fluctuations in tiller numbers, but dry soil conditions could delay an increase in tiller numbers between June and August. The relationship between seasonal fluctuations in tiller number and root growth of swards is discussed.
Hair structure of small rodents from central Argentina: A tool for species identification

Abstract Mammal hairs differ among species and may therefore be used for diagnoses at the species level. We characterized dorsal guard hairs of most small rodent species that may be found in central Buenos Aires province (Argentina), according to their geographic distribution: Cavia aperea, Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus, Mus musculus, Holochilus brasiliensis, Scapteromys aquaticus, Oxymycterus rufus, Oligoryzomys flavescens, Akodon azarae, Deltamys kempi, Calomys laucha and C. musculinus. We provide discriminant functions and a dichotomic key to identify hairs at the species level based on hair length and width and scale morphology observed in specific sections of dorsal guard hairs. Discriminant functions require fewer measurements and are faster than the use of the key.
Intellectual Capital and Business Performance In Indonesian Manufacture Companies

This study was intended to confirm the relationship of intellectual capital value efficiency (VAICTM) and the main components of company resources (physical, human and structural capitals) with financial performance (ROA) and Market Value (M/B). The research was conducted in the manufacturing sector; an industry with the largest growth and contribution to the Indonesian economy. This study used a sample of 171 manufacturing sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014-2016. The test results revealed that physical capital (VACA) is the dominant factor that played its roles in financial performance and market value, and human capital (VAHU) only played its roles in financial performance. Then, structural capital (STVA) had no role in financial performance or market value.
Isolation and characterization of an unusual bacterium, allied to the soil bacterium Bacillus benzoevorans, from feedlot manure pads in Australia

Strains of bacteria were obtained by anaerobic enrichment from feedlot manure pads and were phenotypically characterized. Colonies had a cotton wool or hairy appearance. When cultures grown in liquid media were exposed to a drying atmosphere, they produced a pellicle comprised of a cross‐meshed array of cells. Colonies on agar media also produced spiral sheets of cells held well above the agar surface. The strains were Gram positive, according to ultrastructural features from transmission electron micrographs and KOH solubility, but Gram negative by Gram stain. The 16S rDNA from strain YEO5 was determined and is 99·3% similar to the type strain of Bacillus benzoevorans. The inability of our strains to grow aerobically and lack of endospores differentiated them from previously isolated strains of B. benzoevorans. In freshly broken feedlot pad material, a white, hairy coating of the exposed surface appeared within a few hours. We hypothesize that this is due to the insoluble extracellular matrix material produced by this Bacillus sp. to avoid desiccation and, additionally, the bacterial covering is responsible for retaining odours within the pad material.

Understanding the Conservation of Cultural Heritage: Contextual Interpretation Based on USA Case Study

Conservation of cultural heritage is very important for all countries in the world as it provides identification and continuity for the next generations. However, the degree of interesting differentiates from country to country. While developed countries have come a long way in this field, developing countries are still struggling to catch up with them. The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the transformation of conservation of the cultural heritage in United States of America, in addition to find out the key issues influencing the conservation process. The researcher selected United States of America after reviewing different conservation movements in several countries. US has established an advanced and mature conservation process, has wide experience in the field of heritage conservation, and possess various examples in conserving the cultural heritage. The researcher followed the Contextual analysis method to generate the Immediate Inferences and come up with the findings. The evolutionary study of US provides a broader and deeply understanding of the conservation mechanism which will reflect appropriately on the development of the cultural heritage in the other countries.
