THE IMPACT OF ELECTRIC POWER OUTAGE ON THE PROFITABILITY OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN NIGERIA: A CASE STUDY OF GWAGWALADA TOWN
Authors:   University of Abuja, Nigeria, Adekanbi Omolara Adebimpe
Published: November 2024

This study examined the impact of electric power outages on the profitability of small businesses in Nigeria, using 50 randomly selected small businesses in Gwagwalada town as a case study. A Logit regression model was adopted, incorporating a mix of qualitative and quantitative variables. The Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation method was utilized in estimating the Logit model. Findings from the estimated Logit model showed that electric power outages had a negative impact on the profitability of small businesses in Gwagwalada town, while small businesses' expenses on alternative electricity power supplies had a positive impact on profitability. However, both electric power outages and small businesses’ expenses on alternative electricity power supplies in Gwagwalada town had an insignificant impact on the profitability of the small businesses. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended, among other things, that the government should undertake a national demand study to determine the exact electricity requirements to meet demand in the short, medium, and long terms. Furthermore, an integrated least-cost system expansion plan should be developed for the efficient deployment of the Nigerian electricity industry in the medium and long terms. There is also a need for diversification of electricity generation to improve the security of supply, as well as the development of capacity to generate electricity closer to demand centers to reduce technical losses. Additionally, the government should explore and develop measures to ensure the long-term supply of gas for electricity generation.

Electromigration monitoring of bottom terminated component (BTC) solder joints is limited to electrical resistance measurements of the solder balls.  Tracking the microstructural evolution such as bismuth segregation in tin-bismuth solder ball, is typically via metallurgical cross sectioning, a destructive technique.  Once cross sectioned, the solder ball is not available for further electromigration current stressing.  A novel planar solder geometry has been invented and developed that allows real-time, non-destructive monitoring of solder microstructure, while the progress of electromigration can be concurrently tracked via electrical resistance means.  Planar solder joints are easy to fabricate in a typical metallurgical laboratory. If the electromigration behavior of the planar and the BTC solder joints happen to be similar, the planar solder joint approach could greatly aid in the quick development of solder alloys by comparing the rates of electromigration and the metallurgical changes in planar solders of various compositions.  In this paper, the electromigration rates and behavior of eutectic Sn-Bi alloy in planar and in BTC solder joints were compared and shown to be similar.  This important finding opens the use of planar solder joints for the quick and low-cost development of low-temperature solder alloys.

How does ICT capital stock affect high-quality economic growth? Evidence from China
Authors: Guo Pengfei , Hu Zihua , Hu Xinyun
Published: November 2024

As an essential driving force to promote industrial upgrading and technological innovation, ICT has gradually become the technological support for high-quality economic growth. This paper adopts the improved perpetual inventory method and entropy weight TOPSIS method to measure China’s ICT capital stock and economic high-quality growth index, respectively, and experimentally examines the effect of the former on the latter. The findings show that the south has a more extensive ICT capital stock than the north, and the coastal region has a better high-quality growth index than the inland region. Meanwhile, high-quality economic growth, which has increased since 2009 and is incredibly robust in the south, positively correlates with ICT capital stock. Further research finds that ICT capital stock can boost high-quality economic growth by raising marketization and human capital. The results provide policy recommendations for enhancing high-quality economic growth.

Authors: Wang Yi-Xin , Zhao Heng , Jiang Yang , Liu Xin-Ye , Tao Meng-Fei , Liu Xiao-Yong
Published: November 2024

Gongronella had accommodated only two species for more than half a century and as many as 17 new species have been described in this genus since 2015. However, no systematic studies were conducted for this genus so far. The distribution, substrate and morphology of all known species in Gongronella are analysed herein. Meanwhile, with the support of phylogenetic and morphological evidence, six new species (G. abortosporangiasp. nov., G. apophysatasp. nov., G. bawanglingensissp. nov., G. inconstanssp. nov., G. pingtangensissp. nov. and G. reniformissp. nov.) are proposed and G. pamphilae is recorded from China for the first time. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using ITS+LSU+TEF+ACT+RPB1 and the results were basically the same as ITS+LSU. All species of Gongronella, except G. namwonensis from fresh water, were isolated from soil. The genus is distributed worldwide, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. A synoptic key is provided for a total of 24 species (18 species previously published and six species newly described herein), except for G. banzhaoae due to unavailable protologue, type and living culture. No morphologies were described when G. pamphilae was proposed. Thanks to the strains isolated in this study, G. pamphilae is included in the key and reported as a Chinese new record. This is the first comprehensive taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Gongronella.

Published: November 2024

The transition from a traditional linear economy to a circular model aims to create a more sustainable future by reducing the adverse effects of agro-waste on the environment. The present study evaluated the metabolic diversity of bacterial isolates from municipal dumpsites for keratinase production and poultry feather valorization. The bacterium with the highest keratinolytic activity was identified through 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene sequencing. The exo-keratinase production by the bacterium was optimized, and the feather hydrolysate obtained from the fermentation process was analyzed for amino acids. Among the twelve bacteria isolated from the dumpsite's sample, three showed significant feather degradation and keratinase production of 89% (744.5 ± 9.19 U/mL), 58% (269 ± 15.55 U/mL), and 46% (195 ± 7.07 U/mL) for SSB-03, SSB-02, and HSB-02, respectively. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that SSB-03 has high sequence homology with Exiguobacterium acetylicum, and thus, it was identified as Exiguobacterium acetylicum FHBD (accession number MW165834). Strain FHBD fermentation medium exhibited the maximum keratinase activity (2934.54 ± 38.56 U/mL) and sulfhydryl group content (3.09 ± 0.02 mM) at 72 h under optimal process conditions of pH 5.0, temperature (35 °C), inoculum size (2% v/v), and feather (15 g/L). Amino acid analysis of the feather hydrolysate showed significant levels of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, arginine, serine, and proline, with respective concentrations of 1.58, 1.34, 1.29, 1.20, 1.12, and 0.93 (g/100 g of sample). The study's findings emphasize the potential of E. acetylicum FHBD in poultry feather valorization and keratinase production.
Aspergillus-Penicillium co-culture: An investigation of bioagents for controlling Fusarium proliferatum-induced basal rot in onion
Authors: Abdelrahem Mohammed M. M. , Abouelela Mohamed E. , Abo-Dahab Nageh F. , Hassane Abdallah M. A.
Published: November 2024

Fungal co-culture is a method that allows the detection of interactions between fungi, enabling the examination of bioactive novel metabolites induction that may not be produced in monocultures. Worldwide, Fusarium basal rot is a primary limitation to onion yield, being caused by different Fusarium species. Current research directions encourage biological control of plant diseases as a replacement for routine chemical treatments. The current study aimed to investigate the co-culturing technique for mining new sources of bioagents that could be used as fungicides. Aspergillus ochraceus AUMC15539 was co-cultured with Penicillium chrysogenum AUMC15504, and their ethyl acetate extract was tested in vitro and in a greenhouse against Fusarium proliferatum AUMC15541. The results showed that Aspergillus-Penicillium (AP) co-culture extract significantly inhibited the growth of F. proliferatum with an MIC value of 0.78 mg/mL and showed antioxidant efficiency with an IC50 value of 1.31 mg/mL. The brine shrimp toxicity testing showed a LC50 value of 2.77 mg/mL. In addition, the co-culture extract showed the highest phenolic content at 114.71 GAE mg/g, with a 27.82 QE mg/g flavonoid content. Profiling of AP co-culture and its monoculture extracts by HPLC revealed a change in the metabolites profile in AP co-culture. Principal component analysis verified a positive correlation between the obtained HPLC data of A. ochraceus (A), P. chrysogenum (P), and AP extracts. Greenhouse experiments demonstrated that treating infected onion plants with the AP co-culture extract significantly enhanced all growth parameters. Additionally, the co-culture extract treatment resulted in the highest levels of total pigments (3.46 mg/g), carbohydrates (52.10 mg/g dry weight), proteins (131.44 mg/g), phenolics (41.66 GAE mg/g), and flavonoids (9.43 QE mg/g) compared with other treatments. This indicates a promising potential for fungal co-cultures in discovering new bioagents with antifungal properties and growth-promoting capabilities.

Authors: Karnaji Karnaji , Susanti Emy , Ariadi Septi , Saud Muhammad
Published: November 2024

The present study seeks to identify disaster-prone areas and socio-economic impacts to investigate the mechanism of the post-disaster management in East Java, Indonesia. The data was collected from three disaster-prone areas, i.e. Lumajang, Malang, and Bojonegoro regencies in East Java. This study applied the mixed method approach; hence, quantitative (survey) and qualitative (interviews) data have been gathered. The results show that disasters have several implications for human life, such as health, economic life, and socio-cultural and psychological conditions, which have several impacts on communities, such as human settlements, health, economic life, and socio-cultural and psychological conditions. Therefore, efforts are required to manage disaster victims and provide them with social protections related to mental, economic, and social activities and health services.Contribution: In disaster-affected areas, to restore the community’s economic condition, local governments provide multiple kinds of assistance, including business capital (grants), low interest rates, production equipment, community empowerment activities, job opportunities and business partnerships with the local market. Furthermore, such strategies for disaster management should be implemented in an integrated manner, and the inclusion of local community members for prevention, mitigation, preparedness, and emergency response to recovery phases are also highly recommended.

Authors: Singh Shresthaa , Savana Khumanthem , Brajendu  , Priya Parul , Jain Abhay K. , Kumar Abhishek
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Orthodontic treatment is often pursued to improve dental aesthetics and function, but its psychological effects on adult patients are not well-documented.

Materials and Methods:

This mixed-methods study involved 150 adult participants undergoing orthodontic treatment. Quantitative data were collected using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before treatment, mid-treatment, and posttreatment. Qualitative data were gathered through semistructured interviews with 30 participants, selected via purposive sampling, to explore their personal experiences and perceptions of the treatment process. Quantitative data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to assess changes over time, while thematic analysis was conducted on qualitative data to identify common themes.

Results:

Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in OHIP-14 scores (P < 0.001), indicating enhanced oral health-related quality of life posttreatment. Anxiety levels, as measured by STAI, decreased significantly from baseline to posttreatment (P < 0.01). Qualitative interviews highlighted themes of increased self-esteem, improved social interactions, and initial discomfort during the adaptation phase of treatment. Participants reported a heightened awareness of oral health and a positive shift in self-image.

Conclusion:

Orthodontic treatment in adults leads to significant psychological benefits, including reduced anxiety and improved quality of life.
Global existence of a weak solution for a reaction–diffusion system in a porous medium with membrane conditions and mass control

Published: November 2024

In this paper, we prove the global exstence of weak solutions for a porous medium dynamics of m species moving between two domains separated by a zero-thickness membrane. On this membrane, Kedem–Katchalsky conditions are considered, and the study is characterized by natural structural conditions applied to the nonlinear reactive terms. The global existence is established under the assumption that these reactive terms are bounded in

$L^1$

. This problem has already been analyzed in the linear diffusion case by Ciavolella and Perthame in Ciavolella and Perthame (2021, Journal of Evolution Equations 21, 1513–1540). The present work constitutes an extension for nonlinear diffusion, particularly of the porous medium type, in the form

$\partial _t v_i - \Delta v_i^{r_i} = R_i$

, for an exponent

$r_i < 2$

. The case

$r_i \geq 2$

remains an open problem. This paper is an adaptation of the ideas from Ciavolella and Perthame (2021, Journal of Evolution Equations 21, 1513–1540), with new strategies to overcome the appearance of nonlinearity and degeneracy in the diffusion term.
Foreign policy identity of the United Kingdom after Brexit
Authors: Miller Antony
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to systematise the primary changes brought about by Brexit for the United Kingdom govern- ment, highlighting the main threats that Eurosceptics may face. The research was based on content analysis of media outlets and news agencies, including The Mirror, Reuters, and others. Additionally, a documentary analysis of official reports from the Office for Budget Responsibility and the Office for National Statistics under the United Kingdom govern- ment was conducted. The study’s results revealed that in 2018, the United Kingdom’s foreign trade turnover amounted to approximately 800 billion dollars, rising to nearly one trillion dollars by 2023. However, projections for the United Kingdom’s Gross Domestic Product growth are lower than those for 24 of the 27 European Union member states. It was found that relations between the United Kingdom and the EU are governed by the Withdrawal Agreement, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and the Northern Ireland Protocol. The latter remains a contentious issue, as evidenced by the widespread workers’ strike in early 2024. Since the onset of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2022, the United Kingdom government has aligned its sanctions packages with its European counterparts. Additionally, British military personnel have joined the European Union’s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) military mobility project. Although the rhetoric of British diplomacy has shifted post-Brexit, this is unlikely to be directly related to the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, as British diplomatic views have long aligned with the commonly accepted approach within democratic societies to addressing international challenges. The findings of this study indicate that the United Kingdom government still faces several unresolved issues following its withdrawal from the European Union, further complicated by the unstable geopolitical situation. Nevertheless, the United Kingdom’s status as one of the most influential global actors in international relations, coupled with the relative resilience of its economy, suggests, according to government forecasts, the potential for a swift adaptation to changes within the international community

Suspension of budgetary funding for certain EU countries: Legality and prospects for improving the Union's organisational discipline
Authors: Ketners Karlis
Published: November 2024

The cessation of budgetary allocations for specific EU nations to uphold the rule of law is especially pertinent amid the escalating values crisis in certain member states. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and effectiveness of financial sanctions for maintaining organisational discipline in the European Union and to outline the potential for improving the systems. The research utilized the comparative legal technique, critical analysis of European Union rules and official documents, and structural-functional analysis of institutional systems for upholding the law. The research concluded that the conditionality mechanism established in Regulation 2020/2092 provides a legal foundation for the suspension of financial aid to nations that consistently breach the law. The examination of the European Commissionʼs rulings regarding Hungary and Poland revealed the intricacy of this system and its possible effects on the cohesion of the Union. The research highlighted the necessity for more nuanced and adaptable strategies to uphold shared values, according to the unique characteristics of the legal and political frameworks of each member state. This studyʼs practical significance resides in cultivating a thorough comprehension of the challenges linked to employing financial sanctions as a means of upholding the law, as well as formulating recommendations to enhance the mechanisms of organizational discipline within the European Union
STATE LIABILITY IN EFFORTS TO PROTECT PATIENTS' RIGHTS TO CHOOSE HEALTH CARE FACILITIES IN THE FORM OF VACCINES AS A FORM OF HUMAN RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT
Authors: Fikri Abidin
Published: November 2024

Health is a fundamental aspect of human life, and the right to choose health care facilities, including vaccination, is crucial to the enforcement of human rights. In the digital age, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in optimizing health services, particularly in vaccination distribution and monitoring, has become significant. AI systems can enhance transparency, accuracy, and accessibility in providing health care, but they also raise questions about accountability and ethical concerns. This study examines the state's responsibility in regulating the use of AI for the protection of patients' rights, focusing on AI's role in ensuring safe, licensed vaccines for children and equitable access to healthcare facilities. The study also analyses how AI could improve the state's efforts in fulfilling its human rights obligations by making healthcare more efficient and inclusive. A normative juridical method is employed, using a statutory and analytical approach, to explore the legal frameworks governing AI in health care and the state's responsibility. The findings reveal gaps in current legal protections against the use of unlicensed vaccines, and the unequal access to AI-supported health services for vulnerable groups, such as children. While AI can help identify and distribute vaccines more effectively, the state has yet to fully implement regulations that guarantee fairness and safety in AI-driven health services. The integration of AI into healthcare poses both opportunities and challenges, and the state must strengthen its accountability mechanisms to ensure AI supports human rights, especially children's right to access safe and reliable vaccinations.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO OPTIMIZE THE ROLE OF NOTARIES IN RESOLVING LAND INHERITANCE DISTRIBUTION BASED ON CUSTOMARY LAW
Authors: Ketaren Davina Malem Peraten
Published: November 2024

The distribution of land inheritance often poses challenges, particularly within the context of customary law that varies by region. The role of notaries, recognized legally to draft authentic deeds in accordance with Article 16, Paragraph (1), letters a and b of Law No. 2 of 2014 on Amendments to Law No. 30 of 2004 on Notary Positions, is crucial in providing legal certainty and preventing disputes among heirs. In this era of technological advancement, artificial intelligence (AI) can assist notaries in expediting and simplifying the resolution of land inheritance issues more efficiently while adhering to applicable customary law provisions. The purpose of this research is to analyse the role of notaries in the resolution of land inheritance distribution under customary law and to explore the potential utilization of artificial intelligence in assisting this process. The research method used is normative juridical, using a statutory approach and an analytical approach. The research shows that artificial intelligence (AI) can assist notaries in document verification, heir identification, and the application of complex customary law. AI accelerates the process and reduces the potential for disputes, but it requires regulatory adjustments and increased technological literacy among notaries and the public. Artificial intelligence (AI) has significant potential to optimize the role of notaries in resolving land inheritance under customary law by accelerating processes, improving accuracy, and ensuring fairness. However, the successful implementation of AI requires clear regulations and collaboration between the government, legal institutions, and customary communities.
LEGAL REVIEW OF CHILD NUTRITION HEALTH REGARDING THE CHALLENGES OF STUNTING IMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN RURAL AREAS THROUGH THE UTILIZATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Yulian Ely
Published: November 2024

Children with special needs are vulnerable in rural areas to nutrition problems, including stunting, due to limited access to health services and minimal nutrition knowledge. Article 11 of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health emphasizes the responsibility of the Central and Local Governments to provide access to healthcare facilities and health education. In this case, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) can help monitor, diagnose, and intervene more effectively against stunting through accurate data analysis and timely recommendations. The objective of this study is to analyse the legal challenges related to child nutritional health, especially stunting in children with special needs in rural areas, and explore the potential of utilizing AI in addressing this issue. The research method used is normative juridical, using a statutory approach and an analytical approach. The results show that children with special needs in rural areas face various challenges in accessing health services and nutritional information. Limited access, lack of community knowledge about the importance of nutrition, and lack of effective intervention programs are the main obstacles. On the other hand, the use of AI can help in early detection and treatment of stunting through health data analysis, and provide appropriate intervention recommendations. The use of artificial intelligence has great potential in improving the effectiveness of child nutrition health programs and reducing stunting cases among children with special needs in rural areas. Collaboration between the government, health institutions, and technology is needed to implement this solution effectively and sustainably.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising technology in the field of healthcare, enabling the development of innovative solutions that enhance the quality and efficiency of medical services. The application of AI in the management of patient data has facilitated the acceleration, optimization, and precision of this process, which can subsequently improve the quality of healthcare services. This study aims to analyse the legal challenges that arise with the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence in patient data management, and to identify relevant legal solutions to overcome these problems. The study employs library research techniques, analysing statutory provisions and drawing on both written and unwritten positive law to examine legal issues. The results show that the integration of AI and digital technology in healthcare has yielded significant advantages, including enhanced efficiency, precision in diagnosis, and the harnessing of big data for patient care. However, a number of significant challenges remain, particularly with regard to the safeguarding of personal data. The formulation of an ethical framework for the utilisation of AI, the establishment of rigorous safety standards and the continuation of research in this domain are vital to enhance the advantages and mitigate the risks associated with the deployment of AI. It is imperative that health institutions and AI developers implement robust cybersecurity standards and periodic assessments for potential system vulnerabilities.

The effects of inequality-adjusted indexes for education, income and life expectancy on inequality-adjusted human development index were observed using panel data for periods 2010 to 2019 in Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Niger and Nigeria via Least squares dummy variable (LSDV) model that varies non-stochastically over time series (t) and individual level (i) observations. ADF test revealed unit root process for the series skating around their variances, centered dependent time with infinite persistence shocks. VIF test indicated moderately correlations of the variables in the LSDV model regression. Breusch-Godfrey/Wooldridge test predicted no serial correlation in idiosyncratic errors of the LSDV model. Again, Breusch-Pagan LM and Pasaran CD test indicated insignificant cross-sectional dependence in the panels. Likewise, the Breusch-Pagan test predicted that the regression disturbances of LSDV model are homoskedastic with the same variance across time and individuals. Consequently; for a given country, as inequality-adjusted indexes for education, income and life expectancy fluctuate by one unit, the inequality-adjusted human development index increases by 33.32%, 33.40% and 33.23% discretely. The average achievements of human development in education, income, and life expectancy distributed among its population by overlooking each dimension’s average value according to its level of inequality is low and needs to be enriched.
Eleştirel Fenomenoloji Perspektifinden Doğum Deneyimleri ve Duygusal Adaletsizlik
Authors: Ağören Güler Cansu
Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmadaki amacım 2023 yılında gerçekleştirdiğim Doğuran Benlik Anlatıları adlı araştırmada dinlediğim doğum hikayelerini eleştirel fenomenolojik bir analize tabii tutmak ve bu anlatılarda muayenehane/doğumhane/lohusa odası bağlamında ortaya çıkan duygusal adaletsizliklerin izini sürmektir. Duygusal adaletsizlik kişinin duygusal bir varlık olarak kapasitesinin seyrelmesi anlamına gelir ve (1) kişinin iyilik halini kesintiye uğratan unsurlardan uzaklaşma özgürlüğünün (2) kişinin duygusal kaynak ve fırsatlara erişiminin ve (3) kişinin duygularının tanınırlığının adil olmayan biçimde sınırlandırılmasını içerir. Bu çalışmada sunacağım incelemeyle muayenehane/doğumhane/lohusa bağlamının gebe/doğuran/lohusa bedenlerle kurduğu kapsama ve barındırma ilişkisinin bu bedenlerin özgür ve yapıcı biçimde hissetme kapasitelerini ironik biçimde tehdit edici niteliğini ortaya koyacak; muayenehane/doğumhane/lohusa odası bağlamının düşmansı bir mekân olarak tanımlanma potansiyelini ve bu düşmansı mekânsallığın sosyopolitik kökenlerini inceleyeceğim. Doğum bağlamında ortaya çıkan korku, can sıkıntısı, utanç, pasifize olma, kendine yönelik öfke, yılgınlık, teslimiyet ve duygu yokluğu gibi deneyimlerin ontojenezine yönelik bu aşkıncı analizden yola çıkarak; benliği tehdit edici ve yıkıcı duyguların doğumun doğasına değil, muayenehane/doğumhane/lohusa odası bağlamını kapsayan ve sistematik olarak adaletsizlikler üretmeye güdümlü güç sistemlerine içkin olduğunu iddia edeceğim.
