This paper takes the form of personal memoir as a reflection on art in the public domain and a means by which to re-tell the conceptual development and evolution of IMAG_NE, a concrete poem and public sculpture. The concept was first developed for my Masters of Arts (Art in Public Space) at RMIT University. Initially an aid to assist my own personal creative evolution, the artwork has now toured as an ephemeral installation to communities across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the United States of America and has been widely used as a tool to promote community initiatives and collective visioning. Joseph Beuys’s theories of a “social sculpture” are drawn upon as a conceptual framework to underpin IMAG_NE and its agenda to promote individual and societal change. The power of the human imagination is evoked in an ongoing conference with a broad range of sites, communities and individuals. The impact of IMAG_NE is demonstrated through key examples including its appearance at numerous large public sculpture festivals and significant cultural sites. Recent developments surrounding the work’s presence in the Central Coast community of New South Wales, Australia, provides further evidence of the work’s importance and impact, and motivation for the continuation of the project into the post-Covid 19 pandemic era.

This paper proposes some new schemes for data hiding and watermarking in JPEG images by using quantized discrete Cosine transform (DCT) blocks. The DCT coefficients are segmented into groups of continuous elements. For each group, r bits can be embedded by changing at most one element of the group. In comparison to some widely used data hiding schemes for JPEG images, our data hiding schemes achieve higher capability and better stego-image quality. The proposed public key watermarking method based on an embedded algorithm is capable to authenticate digital images.

Non-Conventional Spelling in Informal, Colloquial Arabic Writing on Facebook
Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: April 2023

Arabic has a standard form used in formal situations and print materials and a non-standard, colloquial form used in daily conversation. Each Arab country has its own dialect. Before social media, educated Arabs used to use Standard Arabic when they communicated in writing. But with the advent of social media, people started to use non-standard Arabic, i.e., their own dialects, when they communicate in writing on social media. A corpus of spelling errors in Arabic was collected from Facebooks posts and analyzed to find out the types of errors made, the strategies Arab Facebook spellers use, why educated Arabs make those errors and their effect on decoding ability and communication. It was found that Facebook users completely ignore Standard Arabic spelling rules. They spell words the way they pronounce them in their local dialects. They delete vowels, substitute long vowels by short ones and vice versa and confuse consonants with the same sound. Some graphemes are no longer used. They connect several words together as one word, ignoring the pauses between them. The same word or phrase, in the same dialect, is spelled differently by different users. Sometimes it is difficult to understand what some users are trying to say. It seems that the non-standard Arabic spelling used on Facebook is undergoing a simplification process. Users do not seem to recognize word boundaries, cannot connect phonemes with the graphemes they represent and cannot distinguish vowel length in their spoken dialect. A detailed classification of spelling anomalies, the faulty spelling strategies used and reasons for those spelling weaknesses detected are reported.
EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PROCESSING METHODS ON THE AMINO ACID PROFILE, MINERAL AND ANTI-NUTRIENT CONTENTS OF Detarium senegalense (Tallow) SEED FLOUR
Authors: ADAMU H , NZELIBE H. C
Published: April 2023

Detarium senegalense seed known as Tallow in English, is used traditionally as a soup thickener in Eastern Nigeria. Despite its high protein contents its seed is underutilized due to the presence of anti-nutritional compounds such as oxalate, phytate, tannin and trypsin inhibitor which reduces their bioavailability of nutrients. Therefore, the effect of different processing methods on the amino acid profile, minerals and anti-nutritional properties of Detarium senegalense seed flour was investigated. Freshly purchased seeds were washed and portioned into unprocessed (raw) and processed (soaked, boiled, roasted, autoclave and microwave) seed flour. The samples were analyzed using standard procedures. Data obtained were statistically analyzed using Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Duncan's multiple range tests was used to compare the means. Significance was evaluated at (p≤0.05). The result showed that the amino acid profile was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased by boiling method. Mineral composition indicated that all the processing methods significantly reduced the minerals content when compared to the unprocessed sample and varied between zinc 0.01 to 0.07mg/100g, iron 0.15 to 0.51mg/100g, calcium 0.14 to 0.22mg/100g; magnesium 1.09 to 1.19mg/100g, potassium 2.16 to 3.26mg/100g and sodium 0.15 to 0.20mg/100g, respectively. The anti-nutritional factors of the samples were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced by boiling and roasting method than by soaking, autoclaving and microwaving methods. It was found that among the different method investigated, boiling has the highest amino acid profile and reduced anti-nutrient contents.

Animal trypanosomiasis is a complex disease of animals found in Africa causing serious economic loss in animal production. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of natural mixed infection in cattle from selected abattoirs in Kaduna metropolis. Wet mount and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the presence of trypanosomes in blood of cows which showed a prevalence of 17% for T. congolense and 4.3% for T. vivax while mixed infection of 1.3% was observed from two abattoirs. Tudun-wada abattoir was statistically significant at p<0.005. Further analysis conducted using PCR technique showed the presence of genomic DNA of trypanosomes from positive samples obtained from wet mount method as seen in plate 1. Primers TCS 344-345 for T. congolense at 437bp and TVW1-2 for T. vivax at 399bp confirmed the presence of both parasites as seen in plate 2. In conclusion, this study showed the presence of both parasites in natural mixed infection in cattle from Tudun Wada and Kawo abattoirs in 4 cows each. This also indicates that natural mixed infection can occur in the field invading the immune system of affected hosts. Therefore, we suggest that microscopy and PCR should be used side by side for effective detection of these parasites so as to proffer appropriate control measure in combating the menace of African animal trypanosomiasis.

This study was conducted to determine the performance of Lohmann Brown Classic (LBC) and Nera Black (NB) strains of layer chicken fed diet supplemented with vitamin C. One hundred and twenty (120) 28 weeks old laying hens (Sixty for each strain) were assigned to four treatments in a completely randomized design and a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement made up of two strains (LBC and NB) and Vitamin C supplementation (0 and 0.25g/kg feed). Each treatment was replicated thrice with ten birds per replicate. Hen day egg production, egg weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, feed cost and weight change were measured and computed. Data obtained were analyzed using the general linear models (GLM) procedure. The results of the study showed that final body weight (kg/bird) of LBC (1.84kg/bird) and NB (1.80kg/bird) were similar. The average weight change of LBC (3.40%) was higher (P<0.05) than that of NB (0.34%).  The daily feed intake (g/bird) of LBC (157.45) was higher (P<0.05) than that of NB (144.00). Feed conversion ratio (g feed/dozen eggs), egg weight and feed cost/crate (₦) were similar (P>0.05) for the two strains. The LBC strain laid more (P<0.05) eggs (88.17) than the NB strain (78.55). Vitamin C supplementation did not affect (P>0.05) all the performance indices evaluated in the study except for feed cost/crate. Feed cost/crate (₦) of the hens fed with vitamin C (836.90) was higher than those fed without vitamin C (660.34). Both LBC and NB strains performed almost similarly.

A study was carried out to determine occurrence and distribution of herbaceous weed species of selected undisturbed locations of University of Abuja Main Campus. 8 locations were selected and 12 coordinate points were assessed within each of the locations using a Geograhical Positioning System (GPS).Weed species were sampled with the use of quadrat (1 m2), randomly thrown at different points of infestation of herbaceous weeds. A total of 1735 herbaceous weeds belonging to 39 species and 14 families were identified. Hyptis suaveolens (mint weed) was observed to be the most occurring specie (398), followed by Calopogonium mucunoides (248), Sida acuta (110), Paspalum vaginatum (88) and Tridax procumbens (81). The highest density of Hyptis suaveolens was observed at the School Gate (7.3), followed by Senate Building (5.8), The highest relative densities were observed at School Gate (32.4) and Faculty of Agriculture (24.1). Also,the highest frequency of occurrence of identified species were observed at the School Gate (100 %) and senate building (85 %), respectively. Weed abundance was observed to be highest at the School Gate (733.3), followed by Senate Building (690). The lowest abundance was at Faculties of Law and Veterinary Medicine (211.1). It is, therefore, recommended that control is required to mitigate their harmful effects. Also, the need for appropriate design and implementation of weed management strategies which may decrease the density or noxiousness of herbaceous weeds.

Effect of dietary substitution of sawdust for wheat offal on internal organs weight and carcass yield of broiler starter was conducted using 99 broilers. Broiler chicks were allocated to three dietary treatments and replicate thrice with eleven (11) broilers per replicate. Three dietary treatments were formulated with sawdust substituting for wheat offal at 0, 40 and 80%. Experiment lasted for three weeks in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Data obtained was analyzed using ANOVA. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in all internal organs weight and carcass yield across dietary treatments. Broiler fed on 80% had highest liver weight (3.59%) while least (2.44%) was recorded from 0%. Heart showed lowest p<0.05 (0.37%) from 80% while highest (0.55%) was obtained from 40%. Lowest (p<0.05) kidney (0.38%) was recorded from 0% while highest (0.48%) was observed from 80%. Lung gave least weight (0.42%) in the broiler fed 0% while highest weight (0.66%) was observed from 80%. Higher (1364.50g) live weight was obtained from 80% while least (1066.50g) was obtained from 0%). Dressed weight followed the same trend with highest (1282.00g) noticed from 80% while least (978.50g) was noticed from 0%. 80% gave highest wings (8.94%), back (15.02%), drumstick (10.88%) and breast (17.88%) respectively while wings had least p<0.05 of 8.01% from 40% back had 13.30% from 0%, drumstick (10.06%), breast (17.18%) from 40% respectively. It could be concluded that sawdust can be successfully replaced wheat offal in the broiler starter up to 80% without adverse effect on internal organs weight and carcass yield

Published: April 2023

The objective of the study was to evaluate the anti-helminthic effect of sorghum chaff fed to small ruminants. Fifteen growing Yankasa rams with an average live weight of 17.5 kg were dewormed using Albendazole at 10mg/kg body weight and infected with nematodes larvae (2,100 L3 of strongyle per ram) and allotted to five (5) treatments of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% inclusion levels of sorghum chaff in diets in a completely randomized design with three replications. Each ram was offered the experimental diet at 1.5% of its body weight as supplement daily for eight weeks. Faecal samples were collected from the rams before and at the end of the experiment to detect the presence of parasitic infections (fecal egg and oocyst counts). The control treatment (0% sorghum chaff) was dewormed using Albendazole at 10mg/kg body weight. The results showed mild infestations with strongyle and moniezia at four weeks after L3 infestation but were statistically (P>0.05) similar. Similarly, there were no significant (P>0.05) differences observed in the number of eggs per gram of faeces across treatments at week six, but numerically, animals on treatment 4 (60% inclusion level of sorghum chaff) had better worm clearance relative to other treatments. It was concluded that inclusion of sorghum chaff in the diets of small ruminants up to 60% level could be used to control gastrointestinal nematodes infestation in sheep. Further studies to isolate the active ingredients having anti-helminthic effect in the sorghum chaff and standard inclusion levels are hereby recommended.

One of the countries sanctified with wide arrays biodiversity and natural-assets is Nigeria, which includes shrubbery, animals and microorganisms on which livelihood and food security of her citizens greatly depends. However, the rate at which these biodiversity and biological-assets are being reduced as a result of increased human actions is both national and global challenge that requires concerted effort and holistic approach. The valuables are gradually going into extinction. Thus, this paper reviews the evidence of loss of biodiversity in Nigeria from literatures, major causes of biodiversity loss in Nigeria which include increased human population, poverty, poor economic development, indefinite lawmaking and policies lying on biodiversity conservation, type of weather alteration, toxic waste, foray of creature from outer space species and other anthropogenic activities. The implications of biodiversity on foodstuff availability, ease of access, utilization and steadiness are the most important four domains of groceries safekeeping that are critically examined. Some of the unwholesome practices that endangered biodiversity are itemized and possible suggestions and recommendations are proffered. There is urgent need to sensitize and educate Nigerians on the implication of biodiversity loss on food security.

Published: April 2023

In Nigeria, plants commonly used as feed by rabbit farmers are those around the environment as weeds. Not much has being reported on the preference of rabbits among such plants which are often of little or no use where they are found. Hence this study was designed to access the preference of rabbits for selected plants (Tridax procumbens, Euphobia heterophylla, Alternanthera brasiliana, Aspilia africana, Tithonia diversifolia) used by farmers. A total of thirty crossbred rabbits were used in a cafeteria arrangement feeding trial to study the preference of rabbits for forages presented. The animals were separated into two groups having fifteen rabbits in each group. The various groups were further divided into three sub-groups. Each sub-group had five rabbits housed in same compartment on a deep litter system. Animals in group A had fresh forages, those in group B had dry forages. The result from this study showed that for weaner rabbits the nature of forage and duration of exposure of rabbits to the forages had no significant effect (p>0.05) on the preferences of the animals. The coefficient of preference (CoP) recorded for Euphorbia heterophylla (0.44±0.15) was significantly (p<0.05) highest followed by that of Tithonia diversifolia (0.19± 0.09) while Aspilia africana was the least (p<0.05) preferred with CoP 0.11±0.05. For the post-weaned rabbits, CoP was not significantly affected (p>0.05) in all the parameters considered. From the results it was concluded that Euphorbia heterophylla was the most preferred of all the forages presented.

Published: April 2023

The study examined economic feasibility of private extension among small-scale cassava farmers in Edo and Delta States of Nigeria. Specifically, the study described the socio-economic characteristics of small-scale cassava farmers, examined farmer’s willingness to pay for extension services for cassava production, examine farmer’s perception on economic feasibility of private extension for cassava production and established the relationship between farmer’s socio-economic characteristics and the economic feasibility of private extension delivery for cassava production. Multi-stage sampling procedure, comprising of purposive and random sampling was used to select 391 respondents sampled with the use of structured questionnaires. Data collected were analyzed using frequency, mean, percentage and probit regression. The result showed that the respondents were young (mean age 38 years), educated (98.48%), cultivated a mean farm size of 2.04 hectares and earned a mean income of ₦151534.53 per annum. The major extension services the farmers were willing to pay for were bulletins and handbills (mean=4.83), market price information (mean=4.72), information on pest and disease control (mean= 4.72), input hiring services (mean= 4.69) and pay for advert for radio and television programmes (mean=4.56). It was equally revealed that 52.17% of the respondents (farmers) fell under the high feasibility status implying that about 52% of the respondents believed private extension services was highly feasible. Education (b=-0.263; p<0.05), farming experience b=0.044; p<0.005 and frequency of extension visit (b=0.494; p<0.05) were significant variables influencing the economic feasibility of private extension service delivery in cassava production among the respondents. It was concluded that private extension service for cassava is economically feasible in the study area from the farmer’s point of view. It was recommended that private extension service providers should reach out to small-scale cassava farmers in this study area with the view of enhancing their production performance without conflicting with the existing extension services of the government operated extension system of the Agricultural development Programme (ADP) in the study area.

One Form of Protection for Persons with Mental Disabilities: An Exploration Study of Indonesian Legislations on the Protection of Inheritance Rights of Persons with Mental Disabilities
Authors: Rizka Rizka , Fadhilah Anindia
Published: April 2023

Indonesia ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and enacted Laws that provide for the right to justice and legal protection for persons with mental disabilities, including the right to own and inherit a legacy. Paradoxically, the same laws legalize actions that undermine their rights. This study examines the legal protection accorded to persons with mental/intellectual disabilities over their inheritance rights as per the Indonesian three-pronged inheritance laws comprising Islamic law, adat law and the civil code. This research is descriptive, using a normative approach with a measure of doctrinal research. Indonesian laws still provide for substituted decision-making for persons with mental disabilities, which legalizes denying their right to legal agency. Ambiguities abound in the laws on important aspects, like how one is declared incapable of making legal decisions. Supported decision-making mechanisms for persons with mental disabilities in Indonesian laws would provide the basis for setting up support centers where persons with mental disabilities can access the necessary support to enable them to make legal decisions. This study can be useful in addressing issues that infringe on the legal rights and protections of people with mental disabilities.

THE RULE-OF-LAW STATE: MODELING, DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS
Authors: ШОШИН Сергей Владимирович
Published: April 2023

The concept of the rule-of-law state in Russia, analyzed by F.A. Vestov and other authors, remains relevant today. The existence of numerous historical and legal approaches to the category of «rule-of-law state» is impressive. Taking into account the rapid changes in Russia’s foreign and national policy, significant scientific results can be obtained by analyzing the values of the rule-of-law state. This analysis is interesting, in particular, in the area of state counteraction to transnational crimes. The purpose of the research is to identify innovative trajectories for the development of the concept of the rule-of-law state, to develop algorithms for solving some modern problems. The following research methods are applied: observation, comparison, experiment, abstraction. The main conclusions: for a long period of national history, the only methodology of Marxism-Leninism was used to analyze the category of the rule-of-law state. It may be promising to compare the scientific achievements of the past period of history with the results of modern researches carried out using other methodologies. The maximal rejection of the class approach in the analysis of the values of the rule-of-law state can give a serious impetus to the further development of this theory. The inverse phenomena of globalization – anti-globalization that came to Russia after the processes of globalization can also have a significant impact on the interpretation of the concept of the rule-of-law state. This is particularly evident in the analysis of the process of organizing and implementing the fight against transnational crimes. The analysis of this sphere of social relations requires a new look at the concept of the separation of powers in modern Russian reality.

Authors: ПУЧКОВ Олег Александрович
Published: April 2023

The modern development of biological science, medicine and law, accompanied by an interdisciplinary mutual «intrusion» of these sciences into the sphere of technological manipulations with the human genome, has led to the need for adequate legal regulation for these processes. The article proposes to adopt the federal law of the Russian Federation «On the General Principles of Bioethics and Evidence-Based Medicine in the Field of Science, Health Care and Human Welfare». The emergence of this law is dictated by the fact that, according to statistics, from 3 to 5 million people in the Russian Federation can be potential participants in genomic legal relations. Under these conditions, the need for the proposed law is fully felt by society, and the «silence of the legislator» can lead to negative consequences in the field of manipulations with the human genome. The article provides a possible structure of the bill, analyzes its main functions. Purpose: to substantiate the need for the adoption of the law of the Russian Federation «On the General Principles of Bioethics and Evidence-Based Medicine in the Field of Science, Health Care and Human Welfare», to present a possible structure of the draft regulatory act, breaking down the text of the bill into chapters and articles. Methods: method of formal legal analysis, methods of theoretical legal description and interpretation; method of interpretation of legal norms, sociological method. Results: the study makes it possible to propose the draft law of the Russian Federation «On the General Principles of Bioethics and Evidence-Based Medicine in the Field of Science, Health Care and Human Welfare», to identify its complex nature, to reveal its main content and functions, to which the author attributes the regulatory, protective and educative functions, in the aggregate, able to effectively regulate the legal relationship regarding the human genome.

UNRESTRICTED USE OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE IS A PREREQUISITE FOR COUNTERING ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS CRIMES IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION AND INFORMATIZATION OF SOCIETY AND THE STATE
Authors: ХРУСТАЛЁВ Виталий Николаевич
Published: April 2023

The current task of the Russian Federation is the effective counteraction to especially dangerous crimes in the context of digitalization and informatization of society and the state using the special knowledge of specialists and experts. Purpose: to analyze the problems of using special knowledge in legal proceedings, often associated with the unacceptably low competence of their carriers - knowledgeable persons. Methods: empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; specific scientific methods: legal-dogmatic and interpretation of legal norms. The study reveals that in our country the line between the special knowledge possessed by knowledgeable persons (specialists and experts), and the legal knowledge possessed by investigators, judges, etc., is consistently blurred. It is proved by the inclusion of the specialty «forensics» in the enlarged group of legal specialties and the subsequent approval in 2020 of the Federal Educational Standard for this specialty of the 3++ generation, in which, compared to previous generations of the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Professional Education, a significant proportion of special knowledge is replaced by legal knowledge, making it virtually impossible to provide high-quality training for future specialists and experts. The development of a professional standard for a forensic expert for the benefit of forensic organizations may have a positive impact on the professionalism of their staff, but the draft of this standard fixes the need for them to have a predominance of legal knowledge, which is directly contrary to the interests of law enforcement in the country in the due professionalism of forensic experts, designed to contribute to the effectiveness of scientific and technical support for the detection and investigation of crimes. Proposals for improving the situation are formulated.

Authors: ШИЛОВСКАЯ Ольга Петровна
Published: April 2023

The relevance of the research topic is due to the high degree of social significance of the issues of ensuring, protecting and exercising constitutional rights by persons who do not have documents proving their identity and citizenship. The article focuses on the analysis of the norms of the sectoral legislation governing the implementation of rights and freedoms by stateless persons and persons having an irregular legal status, as well as the issues of legalization of persons having an irregular legal status. The author considers documenting stateless persons with temporary identity cards in terms of increasing their enjoyment of constitutional rights. Purpose: to analyze the foundations laid down in Russian legislation for the exercise of rights and freedoms by stateless persons and specific categories of persons in the territory of the Russian Federation whose status is not regulated. Methods: general scientific (description, classification, analysis, synthesis, generalization, interpretation); specific scientific methods (legal-dogmatic, interpretation of legal norms). Results: the author concludes that the legislation of the Russian Federation is evolving towards assisting stateless persons to exercise their fundamental rights.  However, the current legal framework governing certain rights does not allow the categories of persons in question to achieve their full potential in various areas of society. Based on the analysis of legal acts and scientific sources, the article formulates the definition of the category of «person having an irregular legal status» and substantiates the need to fix it in the legislation. The author proposes to consider the issue of adjusting certain legal norms governing the exercise of the rights of stateless persons, as well as the organization of work with persons having an irregular legal status, which will subsequently improve the mechanisms for the implementation of their rights and increase the efficiency of migration control.

Authors: Kuang Tan Ming , Natalia Esther
Published: April 2023

Financial statements must be reliable and free from bias as they represent management accountability to investors. Yet, companies have many incentives to manipulate financial statements to meet investors’ performance expectations. Therefore, this study aims to examine the fraud triangle theory (pressure proxy by financial stability, opportunity proxy by nature of the industry, and rationalization proxy by total accrual to total assets) in explaining factors that cause management to commit fraud on financial statements. The population of this study is the manufacturing sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2018-2020. This study performs purposive sampling method to collect financial data of 102 manufacturing companies from the website of the Indonesia stock exchange (www.idx.co.id) and Refinitiv Eikon database. Based on 306 observations obtained and tested using the logistic linear regression analysis, this study found that pressure (financial stability) had no effect on financial statement fraud, while the opportunity (nature of industry) and rationalization (total accrual to total assets) had a positive effect on financial statement fraud. These findings imply that nature of industry and total accrual to total assets are effective proxy of opportunity and rationalization respectively to predict financial statement fraud measured using Beneish M-Score, particularly the financial statements of the manufacturing companies.
