— The demand for precise weight measurement
and storage is increasing day by day in today's developing
world. The weighing machine is an extremely useful
equipment. It assists us in determining our weight as well
as the weight of other things. Weighing machines are
utilized in a variety of industries and businesses. It is
impossible to ascertain the exact weight of anything
without the use of a weight machine. This technology could
be employed in a variety of industries, including
agriculture, as well as in laboratories where more exact
and reliable results are required. One of the most

Authors: E.E Uchendu , C.N Madubuike , C.D Okereke , N.A.A Okereke
Published: September 2021

Groundwater contaminants in
Okigwe zone in Imo state made up of six local
government areas were investigated. Four (4)
groundwater samples were collected from each
local government area. This amounted to twentyfour groundwater samples. These samples were
collected randomly from sites close to septic tanks
and to avoid contamination from tanks, the
samples were collected at the well head, before
water enters into storage tanks. The samples were
stored in a sterilized 250 ml bottles and then taken
to the laboratory for analysis. The chemical
parameters were determined using a HA-CH
44600-00 and using standard methods as
contained in Chessbourgh (2014). These samples
were refrigerated and analyzed within 24 h. All
plastics and glass wares utilized were pre-washed
with detergent water solution, rinsed with tap
water and soaked for 48 h in 50% HNO3 then
rinsed thoroughly with distilled- deionized water.
These results were used to ascertain the levels of
groundwater contamination in Okigwe zone. An
equation was generated from the chemical
parameters using SPSS and E-view softwares to
estimate the minimum allowable distance for
locating borehole from sources of contamination
in Okigwe zone in Imo state Nigeria. The
minimum allowable distance calculated for
groundwater from sources of contamination
(septic tanks) is 15.81meters.
ENTROPY GENERATION CALCULATIONS DURING PARCHMENT COFFEE DEHYDRATION PROCESSES FOR A TRADITIONAL OPEN ROTARY DRUM DYER AND HARC2 S CONFIGURATIONS
Authors: Rodriguez-Robles F
Published: September 2021

Entropy generation during parchment coffee
dehydration processes was calculated for two specific
thermodynamic cycles, namely, open rotary drum dyer and
a HARC
2
S configuration. It was observed that open rotary
drum dyer entropy generation was very high and chaotic as
compared to the HARC
2
S configuration thermodynamic
cycle. The HARC
2
S exhibited a well behaved quasi steady
state linear behavior. A figure-of-merit, Ns, was used to
directly compare the entropy generation of the open rotary
drum dyer to that of HARC2S. It was observed that for the
entire dehydration processes the Ns ranged from a minimal
of 0.1678 to a maximum of 5.4407 with an average of 4.4051,
clearly indicating that the entropy generation of the open
rotary drum dyer was always higher. Based on these results
it is observed that the entropy generation of the HARC
2
S
configuration is much lower and thus provides a higher
quality dehydration process by reducing thermodynamic
cycle irreversibility. In this study it is observed that the
benefits of using a HARC2S configuration for parchment
coffee dehydration not only provides a highly energy
efficient thermodynamic cycle but also provides a higher
heating quality as compared to the traditional open rotary
drum dyer.

Published: September 2021

The Cryptography is a Greek word which
implies the craft of ensuring data by changing it into a
muddled organization and unreadable format.
Cryptography is a method to secure sensitive data for
storage and communication in the presence of third
parties called adversaries. It is a mix of arithmetic and
software engineering. The drastic growth of the Internet
over a period of time made an unintentional security.
Even though security is the measure worries over the
internet, numerous applications have been created and
structured without considering fundamental destinations
of data security that is confidentiality, authentication,
and protection. To gain some undesirable clients or
individuals to gain admittance to the data, cryptography
is required. This paper introduces a new hybrid security
cipher by combining the two most important Ciphers
such as Polybius Cipher and Vigenere Cipher. This
hybrid encryption cipher provides greater security as
compared to classic ciphers.

THE EFFECTS OF SUN RADIATION ON THE QUALITY OF SACHET AND BOTTLED WATER
Authors: . Onosakponome , Robert Ogaga
Published: September 2021

In recent times, packaging of
potable water in form of bottled water or sachet
water has gradually gained wider acceptability
in our major cities. Demographic and
socioeconomic variables are largely responsible
for the choice and preference for this product.
Packaged water exposed to the hot sun in the
process of storage or transportation does cause
serious chemical exposure. Ultraviolet rays from
the sun or high temperatures do accelerate
leaching of toxic substance (dioxin) and other
plastic chemicals into the water. The polythene
bags also develop germs and micro-organisms
which enter the water through the deterioration
of the polythene bag (weather susceptible). Two
bags of sachet water (60cl) and two packs of
bottled water (75cl) each were selected for the
sample from three purposely selected water
packaging companies with regard to the rate of
production and consumption. These samples
were exposed to direct heat of sunlight to achieve
sun radiation, a control was obtained from the
same source and assessed after the exposed
sample has been tested at intervals of 1 week, 2
weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, and finally 3
months duration. The parameter analysis
conducted was in adherence to WHO standards
and criteria. The results obtained shows that the
concentration levels of various physiochemical
parameters in the studied packaged water types
did not exceed the international guidelines for
drinking water but variations of physiochemical
properties were found when compared with the
control. Such variation can be attributed to the
leaching of the compounds produced from the
photodegradation of Polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) by sunlight. Due to the presence of
organic and inorganic compounds in the water
sample, residual chlorine, for all samples
underwent a depleting process during the course
of exposure; Company A recorded a value
ranging from 0.02-0.21 mg/l, while Company B’s
values ranged from of 0.03-0.2 mg/l and
Company C maintained 0.05mg/l to 0.23 mg/l.

DIABETES MELLITUS AND BONE HEALTH
Authors: Gaurav Kumar
Published: September 2021

Diabetes is said to be derived from a Greek
word Diabetes which means siphon. Siphon means to pass
through and the Latin word Mellitus meaning sweet.
Diabetes Mellitus is a disease which disrupts normal
metabolism by the process of elevation in blood glucose
levels. Insulin hormone cannot move glucose into the cells
from the blood which results in increased accumulation of
glucose in blood. As of now there is no cure for diabetes
but with regular exercise and proper meal planning, one
can control the diabetes. Diabetes comes in different forms
such as Prediabetes, T1DM, T2DM and Gestational
diabetes. A diabetic person with long history of diabetes is
prone to impaired bone structure and has high risks of
bone fracture. So, the controlling of diabetes become
necessary to avoid complications regarding bone fragility.
In this review, I will emphasis on the impact of diabetes
mellitus on bones.

The article presents the results of a clinical and bacteriological assessment of the pharmacological efficacy of 1,3-diethylbenzimidazolium triiodide in chronic compensated tonsillopharyngitis. As a result of a 10-day course of treatment, an improvement in the clinical status of patients was achieved, as well as a significant positive effect on the composition of the pharyngeal microbiocenosis. In particular, the content of Staphylococcus aureus, β-hemolytic streptococci, Escherichia signifi cantly decreased, and Enterobacteria, non-fermenting bacteria, and Streptococci pneumonia completely disappeared from the microbial focus. However, the conducted 10-day treatment did not lead to the complete disappearance of α-hemolytic and non-hemolytic streptococci from the microbial population. This may be explained by the reparative effect of Stellanin® on the lymphoid formations of the pharynx, contributing to the restoration of colonization resistance.

Published: September 2021

This work is devoted to the development of a new simplified method for express diagnostics of cerebral blood supply disorders of a vertebrogenic and non-vertebral nature based on electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram data. The research was conducted using the example of vertebral artery syndrome in osteochondrosis of the cervical spine and somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, respectively. Several experimental studies into the dynamics of heart rate variability and differential indicators of the coordinated work of the heart and blood vessels were carried out according to the data of electrocardiography and photoplethysmography. Three experimental groups included healthy volunteers and volunteers with cerebral blood supply disorders connected with either the loss of plasticity and narrowing of brain blood vessels or their mechanical squeezing. According to the research results, statistically significant (with a significance level of less than 0.05) differences by a number of indicators were revealed between the experimental groups. A conventional discriminant analysis of the indicators of the coordinated work of the heart and blood vessels was carried out for all experimental groups in order to determine criteria for differentiating people with vertebrogenic disorders, non-vertebral disorders and healthy volunteers. It is concluded that three variables can be used for such differentiation, each of which describes the coordinated work of the heart and blood vessels in a specific way.

Constraints on models of the origin of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos
Authors: Troitsky S V
Published: September 2021

The existence of astrophysical neutrinos with energies of tens of TeV and higher has been firmly established by the IceCube experiment; the first confirmations of this discovery were obtained by the ANTARES and Baikal-GVD installations. At the same time, observational results do not fully agree with those expected before the start of these experiments. The origin of the neutrino has not yet been determined, while simple theoretical models, popular for decades, cannot explain the entire ensemble of observational data. In the present review, a summary of experimental results is given with a particular emphasis on those most relevant for constraining theoretical models; features of various scenarios of the origin of high-energy neutrinos are discussed; and particular classes of their potential astrophysical sources are briefly listed. It is shown that observational data may be explained if the astrophysical neutrino flux includes both a contribution of extragalactic sources, dominant at high energies, and a Galactic component, essential only at neutrino energies ≲ 100 TeV. Other possible scenarios are also discussed.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused countless impacts and influences on human life. It disturbs the order of life and macro and micro-economics, drastically and radically changes human cultural and behavioral patterns, and greatly impacts the concepts of church theology, pastoring, and ministry. This study is a descriptive qualitative study on the COVID-19 and normal & abnormal reactions & responses to it. Through this article, the authors observed that the COVID-19 existence has transformed and recorrected the Christian paradigm on 1) ecclesiology, which to date exclusively based on building to the real Church, namely God’s people in the form of house/“tent” churches; 2) digital media utilization in this Society 5.0 era as God’s grace to all humanity. Findings and changes in society through renewable technology are an inseparable part of the pandemic. A dichotomic gap of understanding between science and technology for centuries should be reformulated. New technological inventions and social media created by humans are media in the hands of God that should be utilized by the Church to minister in various categories to improve the quality of ministry and service; and 3) creative and innovative interpretation of threefold responsibilities of the Church: koinonia, diakonia, and martyria.

One major effect of the covid pandemic was, that it has not been easy to travel in the last two years. Many airlines have had to report losses. Despite massive state aid, they have had to reduce their fleet and personnel as well. There were also fewer new airplanes ordered. In our article, we would like to give a brief overview of the aviation industry, which is one of the most technology intensive sectors. These factors make this branch a global oligopoly, as there are few companies producing civilian and/or military aircraft on the market. The race for the conquest of space is huge. American spacecraft landed on Mars, Chinese spacecraft collected rock samples on the Moon. Airbus SE and the Boeing Company, these two largest aircraft manufacturers have joined the aerospace industry too, building bigger and bigger part on the research, developing new technologies.
COVID 19: Compliance, Deviances, Social Control and Contagion Risks during the Lockdown. The Results of a Research in Two EU Countries (Italy and Romania)
Authors: MALIZIA Nicola , CIFALDI Gianmarco , SERBAN Ionut , DAN Adrian-Nicolae
Published: September 2021

The pandemic spread caused by the Covid 19 virus and the consequent risk of contagion has recently forced most national governments to adopt drastic measures of social control and containment, such as social distancing, which has led to a significant change in the lives and habits of citizens, which in turn pushed people to adapt to a changed external circumstance. This adaptation, which translates sociologically and substantially into a request for compliance with the prescriptions, had in many cases captured oppositional reactions through individual and group deviant behaviors, which, in addition to breaking the rules of a community, have contributed to the violation of that general principle of “mutual altruism” that should characterize modern societies and increase the viral contagion. The conducted research has explored the risks of contagion from Covid 19 regarding compliant or deviant conducts of behavior with reference to the lockdown requirements in the first half of 2020.

The landscape, although in France, is one of the remote landscapes in Europe, and was explored by means of the study tours which built the transfer between the first part of the conference in Clermont-Ferrand and the second one in Mende. These tours were various, but emphasized a dimension already present in the session, the agricultural landscape as rural landscape. The agricultural landscape stays also in connection with the geo-products of the UNESCO geopark, and contributes to the quality of life. As management committee substitute in the COST action, a networking scheme funded at European level, the author attended the sessions related to the topic of the action and presented a contribution highlighting the romantic of historic renewable energy landscapes. Their perception contributes to the quality of life as well. Other participants from Romania participated to a dedicated session on Eastern Europe.
Penitentiary Social Security National Conference with International Participation, First Edition - Iasi 2019
Authors: Dumitran Cristina
Published: September 2021

The context or pretext of this Conference was a challenge for the experts of different domains to identify some solutions in order to build a safer society for us and our children by studying: the aspects regarding the origins and typologies of criminal behaviors, the elements of the theory and practice of social services towards inmates and the mechanism and importance of institutional collaboration for relapse prevention. The penitentiary as “a total institution”, tight, with its own organization, is just like any other community, governed by written and unwritten rules. Besides solitude, depression, rage, indignation, in this world one can feel positivism, power of rehabilitation and desire for affirmation. This is the context where the penitentiary social worker has to, on the short term, demonstrate the capacity of fast decision making. On the other hand, on the long term, he/she must intervene one step at the time using high-fidelity techniques, scientifically approved for the targeted population; all of this representing an assurance of professional success. The complexity of the detention imposes an integrated and complete approach; thus the actual approaches must be completed with new techniques that regard the human as a whole in a shifting dynamic.

Aspects of the master-disciple relationship: Dimitrie Gusti and Mircea Vulcănescu
Authors: Gavriluţă Nicu
Published: September 2021

The present text analyzes some cultural aspects of the master-disciple relationship between Dimitrie Gusti and Mircea Vulcănescu. Insist especially on the topicality of Gustian sociology while taking Mircea Vulcănescu’s receiver. Mircea Vulcănescu’s discipleship starts with the coordination of the bachelor’s degree in sociology by Professor Dimitrie Gusti, and then continues with the writing of other studies. Participation in sociological campaigns field, seminars and sociology conferences will follow afterwards. The present study also has the interpretation that the disciple Mircea Vulcănescu gives to the sociological system of the declared teacher Dimitrie Gusti. The precise references are to the Aristotelian substrate of the relation between possibility and actuality, reflected by Dimitrie Gusti in the relation between cadres and manifestations; to the social will understood as an original expression of the voluntarism of Jean-Jacques Rousseau; to the archetypal character of the four Gustavian cadres; to Gusti’s sociological system defined as “system of social philosophy”. In this sense, Dimitrie Gusti’s system does not exclude science. On the contrary, it includes it in the sense of “sufficient reason” of all those existing in social life. Finally, I illustrated the importance of the social phenomenology practiced by Mircea Vulcănescu in the field sociological campaigns coordinated by Dimitrie Gusti with two classic examples and one current one. The first two refer to the analysis of a magico-religious phenomenon (the enchantment) and to the subtleties of the speculative vocation of the Romanian reflected linguistically. The present example is an attempt, partially original, to interpret in the spirit of the phenomenology proposed by Vulcănescu certain forms of popular culture that illustrate the non-canonical power of evil in Romanian history. At the limit, these fantasies of the efficacy of evil could more deeply explain the suspicion and distrust of Romanians.
Our Path to Dimitrie Gusti
Authors: Rostás Zoltán
Published: September 2021

This short paper is, in fact, a brief presentation of the independent research group the “Gusti Cooperative”, which has been investigating, for twenty years, the history of the Sociological School of Bucharest from a social history perspective. In the article a take a critical stance towards the diachronic practice of the history of sociology promoted from the 1960s onwards, advocating, instead, for a synchronic approach to the Gustian phenomenon. Therefore, in this short exploration, I emphasize that it is necessary to continue in-depth research of the contexts in which the School was active, as well as the need for auxiliary tools, while not attempting to make any kind of synthesis. ##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.details##
The Influencing Factors of Bacterial Resistance Related to Livestock Farm: Sources and Mechanisms
Authors: Guo Kaixuan , Zhao Yue , Cui Luqing , Cao Zhengzheng , Zhang Fan , Wang Xiangru , Feng Jiawei , Dai Menghong
Published: September 2021

Bacterial resistance is a complex scientific issue. To manage this issue, we need to deeply understand the influencing factors and mechanisms. Based on the background of livestock husbandry, this paper reviews the factors that affect the acquisition of bacterial resistance. Meanwhile, the resistance mechanism is also discussed. “Survival of the fittest” is the result of genetic plasticity of bacterial pathogens, which brings about specific response, such as producing adaptive mutation, gaining genetic material or changing gene expression. To a large extent, bacterial populations acquire resistance genes directly caused by the selective pressure of antibiotics. However, mobile resistance genes may be co-selected by other existing substances (such as heavy metals and biocides) without direct selection pressure from antibiotics. This is because the same mobile genetic elements as antibiotic resistance genes can be co-located by the resistance determinants of some of these compounds. Furthermore, environmental factors are a source of resistance gene acquisition. Here, we describe some of the key measures that should be taken to mitigate the risk of antibiotic resistance. We call on the relevant governments or organizations around the world to formulate and improve the monitoring policies of antibiotic resistance, strengthen the supervision, strengthen the international cooperation and exchange, and curb the emergence and spread of drug-resistant strains.
