Authors:   University of Pretoria, South Africa, Duodu Kwaku G. , Lubaale John ,   University of Pretoria, South Africa, Kayitesi Eugenie ,   University of Pretoria, South Africa
Published: May 2021

There is a growing awareness today about climate change and its expected ravaging effects on agricultural productivity, food production and ultimately, food and nutrition security. Against this backdrop, drought-tolerant hardy crops are gaining importance as significant sources of food and nutrition especially in the most vulnerable parts of the world mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. In this regard, the millets, which are major cereal staples in many parts of Africa and Asia are of importance for food and nutrition security in these regions. Millets are processed into various foods using traditional processing methods such as fermentation and malting and modern technologies such as extrusion cooking. This chapter focuses on how these processing methods can enhance the nutritional properties of millet-based foods. The simple practice of compositing millets with other plant foodstuffs for enhanced nutritional quality of millet-based foods is also explored.

Application of Magneto-optical Characteristic in Liquid: Verdet Constant as Quality Indicator of Repeatedly Cooking Oil
Authors: Sari Silfiana Puspita , Misto Misto , Purwandari Endhah
Published: May 2021

The Faraday Effect is a magnetooptical phenomenon in physics describing the interaction of light and magnetic fields in a medium. A parameter that indicates the interaction is the Verdet constant. In this research, Verdet constant was measured on cooking oil that has been used several times. Magneto-optical properties were measured using the polarimetry method, which uses a He-Ne Laser beam with a magnetic field treatment of 50 gauss, 80 gauss and 100 gauss. The samples analyzed were bulk and non-bulk cooking oil. Repeated use of cooking oil causes a change in the polarization axis of the polarized laser. This has an impact on the Verdet constant of the material. The difference in the Verdet constant shows that the Verdet constant can be used as an indicator of cooking oil that has been used up to three times.
Assessing The Impacts of Climate Variability on Rural Households in Agricultural Land Through The Application of Livelihood Vulnerability Index
Authors: Gitima Ginjo , Legesse Abiyot , Biru Dereje
Published: May 2021

Climate variability adversely affects rural households in Ethiopia as they depend on rain-fed agriculture, which is highly vulnerable to climate fluctuations and severe events such as drought and pests. In view of this, we have assessed the impacts of climate variability on rural household’s livelihoods in agricultural land in Tarchazuria district of Dawuro Zone. A total of 270 samples of household heads were selected using a multistage sampling technique with sample size allocation procedures of the simple random sampling method. Simple linear regression, the standard precipitation index, the coefficient of variance, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze climatic data such as rainfall and temperature. Two livelihood vulnerability analysis approaches, such as composite index and Livelihood Vulnerability Index-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (LVI-IPCC) approaches, were used to analyze indices for socioeconomic and biophysical indicators. The study revealed that the variability patterns of rainfall and increasing temperatures had been detrimental effects on rural households' livelihoods. The result showed households of overall standardized, average scores of Wara Gesa (0.60) had high livelihood vulnerability with dominant major components of natural, physical, social capital, and livelihood strategies to climate-induced natural hazards than Mela Gelda (0.56). The LVI-IPCC analysis results also revealed that the rural households in Mela Gelda were more exposed to climate variability than Wara Gesa and slightly sensitive to climate variability, considering the health and knowledge and skills, natural capitals, and financial capitals of the households. Therefore, interventions including road infrastructure construction, integrated with watershed management, early warning information system, providing training, livelihood diversification, and SWC measures' practices should be a better response to climate variability-induced natural hazards.

Landslide Hazard Analysis Using a Multilayered Approach Based on Various Input Data Configurations
Authors: Huqqani Ilyas Ahmad , Tien Tay Lea , Mohamad-Saleh Junita
Published: May 2021

Landslide is a natural disaster that occurs mostly in hill areas. Landslide hazard mapping is used to classify the prone areas to mitigate the risk of landslide hazards. This paper aims to compare spatial landslide prediction performance using an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on different data input configurations, different numbers of hidden neurons, and two types of normalization techniques on the data set of Penang Island, Malaysia. The data set involves twelve landslide influencing factors in which five factors are in continuous values, while the remaining seven are in categorical/discrete values. These factors are considered in three different configurations, i.e., original (OR), frequency ratio (FR), and mixed-type (MT) data, which act as an input to train the ANN model separately. A significant effect on the final output is the number of hidden neurons in the hidden layer. In addition, three data configurations are processed using two different normalization methods, i.e., mean-standard deviation (Mean-SD) and Min-Max. The landslide causative data often consist of correlated information caused by overlapping of input instances. Therefore, the principal component analysis (PCA) technique is used to eliminate the correlated information. The area under the receiver of characteristics (ROC) curve, i.e., AUC is also applied to verify the produced landslide hazard maps. The best result of AUC for both Mean-SD and Min-Max with PCA schemes are 96.72% and 96.38%, respectively. The results show that Mean-SD with PCA of MT data configuration yields the best validation accuracy, AUC, and lowest AIC at 100 number of hidden neurons. MT data configuration with the Mean-SD normalization and PCA scheme is more robust and stable in the MLP model's training for landslide prediction.

A comprehensive study of the composition of sand and silt deposits of the Yu1 horizon of the Vasyuganskaya Formation upper part of the Verkh-Tarskoye oil field has been carried out. Associations of authigenic minerals have been determined in their cement, among which the calcite is the most widespread. According to petrographic parameters, three generations of calcite have been identified for which detailed isotopicgeochemical and ultramicroscopic studies were carried out for the first time. Wide and multi directional changes in the isotopic composition of carbon and oxygen and in the chemical composition of carbonate minerals were recorded, they indicate significant variations in the conditions of diagenesis and catagenesis, primarily temperature, and different sources of CO2. Significant variations in the isotopic composition of formation waters and its relationship with the isotopic composition of carbonates have been established. Thus, a narrow interval of close δ13C values was revealed, amounting to –10.5 to –9.1 ‰ in the formation waters of group II, and from –10.7 to –9.1 ‰ in calcites of the third generation. The source of CO2 in this system should be considered a carbon dioxide, which is formed in the process of metamorphism of carbonate rocks of the Paleozoic age.

The materials of deep seismic operations on the Vostochno-Stanovoy fragment of the survey base geophysical profile 8-DV within large tectonic zones – the Selengino-Stanovoy and Amur fold regions of the Central Asian fold belt are presented. It is shown that longitudinal waves from the boundaries in the earth’s crust and the surface of Mohorovichich were recorded from explosions on a 700-kilometer geophysical profile. An inhomogeneous structure was established according to the data of longitudinal waves of the upper part of the earth’s crust to depths of 15–20 km and the surface of Mohorovichich. In general, the thickness of the earth’s crust at the profile is 37–42 km; the effective velocities of longitudinal waves in the crust and refractor ones along the mantle surface change at the profile, respectively, from 6.35 to 6.5 km/s and from 7.9 to 8.5 km/s. The results obtained are discussed and established features of the seismic structure are compared with the tectonics of the region and materials from other studies.

In sedimentary rocks, zones of excessive fissuring are often superimposed on porous and cavernous reservoir types, creating and complicating traps of non-structural hydrocarbons. Traps of this kind are hard to find and usually not detectable with standard CDP seismic survey methods. Non-standard approaches are needed in the implementation of their successful forecast. For this it is possible to use the properties of both scattered and specular reflected waves, on the basis of which a number of unique techniques have been created. In particular, these include the Prony filtration method, that allows for the frequency-dependent analysis of the wavefield, on the basis of which it is possible to successfully predict oil-and-gas bearing features of any complexity. The article provides an example of application of the Prony filtration method from the practical experience of the authors.

Authors: Pavelescu Dragos , Ehsani Maryam , Spangl Bernhard
Published: May 2021

The influence of two yeast strains and the addition of copper sulphate on the aroma of Riesling wines was monitored. Two commercially available yeast strains, Zymaflore VL3 and X-Pure, were applied. General composition, volatile thiols, norisoprenoids, free terpenes, aroma fermentation, sulphur compounds and copper content were determined, and the sensory attributes were assessed by 22 tasters in a balanced incomplete block design (BIBD). The VL3 yeast produced a higher concentration of thiols than the X-Pure yeast. Wines treated with copper sulphate showed a higher concentration of 3MH than the wines produced without copper sulphate addition for both yeast strains. Yeast strain and copper sulphate addition both influenced the amount of β-damascenone in Riesling wines significantly, but they showed no significant influence on the level of terpenes. Five out of eight rated sensory attributes showed significant differences. Yeast strain and copper sulphate addition were decisive factors for the sensory profile of experimental wines.

Simulation and Modelling for a Three-Dimensional Ocean Surface Wave using and Inverse Fourier Transform
Authors: Yang Young Jun
Published: May 2021

Ocean surface waves have been utilized as fundamental information in various fields of oceanic research. In this paper, we suggest a simulation and modelling technique for generating an ocean surface wave using an inverse Fast Fourier Transform (iFFT), and we subsequently verify the wave’s accuracy. The conventional method, linear superposition, requires recursive calculation because of the double summation and the time variable; to circumvent this issue, the new algorithm is presented. The Joint North Sea Wave Project (JONSWAP) spectrum is utilized for the ocean surface wave simulation example, and the parameters are the significant wave height (HS) and the zero-crossing wave period (TZ). A coordinate transform for the wavenumber domain was used to apply the inverse FFT algorithm. To verify the accuracy of the simulation result, the relative error between the input condition and the analysis result was calculated. The result for TZ is below 4% relative error, and the maximum relative error for HS is 7%. To avoid the Nyquist frequency for wave-field analysis and simulation, the minimum grid size was calculated by twice applying the maximum wavenumber.

Published: May 2021

The development of a negative stigma against politics today is a reality that occurs in the mindset of society. This is caused by various factors including the thoughts, attitudes, and behavior of political actors. One of them is a politician. The thoughts, attitudes, and behavior of politicians have a significant role in shaping the image of politics in the eyes of society. Currently, there is a lot of negative stigma about politics. There are two theories in politics, namely moral based theories and political theories that ignore the moral conflict between these two theories and there is a tug of war in the current political field in politicians so that two problems are related to the background of the basic thought structure of politicians who are driven to practice praxis. negative politics and efforts to form a political thought structure that is in line with the "Political Value" of the Indonesian nation are interesting issues to study. The method used in this paper is a qualitative approach with the literary study method, based approach, it can be seen that the theories currently developing are political theories that ignore the moral basis and requirements with pragmatism in politics so that it requires the strengthening and construction of the Pancasila political building which is prerequisite. with immorality to displace political theories that are far from moral bases and to eradicate various immoral behavior of politicians today.

By implementing homo-junction TFET based NAND and NOR logic circuits, it has been observed that NAND consumes less power than NOR gate, since current drawn by PTFET in pull-up network of NOR gate is higher. The delay of homo-junction TFET based NOR logic gate is lesser than that of NAND gate due to its reduced internal capacitances. To meet the enhanced performance of both NAND and NOR logic circuits, shorted and independent double gate hetero-junction (GaSb-InAs) TFETs are designed and implemented. In order to reduce both power consumption and delay further, Pseudo-derived logic is implemented in NAND and NOR logic circuits for the first time. Hetero-junction TFET based NAND with Pseudo-derived logic circuit shows lesser propagation delay of 103 times and reduction in power consumption by 0.75 times compared to hetero-junction NAND logic circuit. Hetero-junction TFET based NOR with Pseudo-derived logic shows that the reduction in power consumption is of 103 times and less propagation delay than that of hetero-junction NOR logic circuit

Mercury (Hg) causes serious health issues in its all forms. Deficiency as well as excess of copper ion (Cu2+) in human body is hazardous. A series of four compounds have been derived from carboxylated benzoic acids (benzoic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid and phthalic acid) and 4H-1,2,4 triazole-4-amine and characterized. Fluorescencce detection of Hg2+ was recorded by the derivates with benzoic acid and isophthalic acid while the derivatives of terephthalic acid and phthalic acid detect Cu2+ by fluorescence “off” mode. Metal ions like Li+, Na+, K+, Zn2+, Al3+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+ and Hg2+ found not to interfere. The stoichiometry of binding is 1:1 for the benzoic acid derivative with Hg2+ while it is 1:2 for the other three derivatives. The binding constants are ca. 10− 4.5 between the sensors and Hg2+ or Cu2+ and detection limits are around 10− 5.5 M. DFT calculation provided optimized geometries of the sensors and confirmed the stoichiometry of binding with Hg2+/Cu2+.

Precipitation is variable and random in nature and therefore, it has different behaviors in different places and times resulting in uncertainty increase. In this regard, due to the present uncertainties, there are many variations in the amount of precipitation, which makes it difficult to forecast this important quantity. In this study, to reduce the uncertainty and estimate the output of the Cordex database properly, we have used the multilayer perceptron neural network method and the Levenberg–Marquardt educational function. For this purpose, seven monthly parameters including surface temperature, surface temperature 850 hPa, surface pressure, altitude 500 hPa, surface moisture, specific humidity of 850 hPa and durations of sunshine extracted from the Cordex database networks were used as independent input parameters and monthly precipitation of six synoptic stations of Zahedan, Kerman, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, Iranshahr and Saravan in five climate models CanESM2, CSIRO_Mk, GFDL_ESM2M, MIROC5 and NorESM1_M were separately evaluated as dependent parameters in the artificial neural network in two time series: 1) 1979 to 2005 in the historical model; and 2) 2006 to 2018 in RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 mode. The two models MIROC5 and CSIRO_MK in historical mode and GFDL_ESM2M and CSIRO_MK in RCP modes were selected as the most effective models. Considering the temperature, air pressure and humidity information and given the high correlation of the forecasted outputs, we can utilize the nonlinear artificial neural networks method in order to skew the Cordex database precipitation data for the southeast region of Iran.

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential and extremely toxic element that destructively impacts agricultural production. Accordingly, developing tolerant-Cd as well as low-grain Cd genotypes is considered a promising approach to cope with the pollution problem. The current study aimed at understanding inheritance nature of Cd tolerance and detect Cd-tolerant and low-grain Cd genotypes in bread wheat. Six parents were selected based on their Cd tolerance and were genotyped using triple-RAPD and ISSR markers to investigate their genetic diversity. The selected parents were crossed and the realized F1s were selfed to produce F2 populations and were backcrossed with their own parents to produce BC1 and BC2 populations. Six populations for each cross comprised P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 were evaluated in two adjacent experiments under non-Cd stressed and Cd-stressed conditions. Significant positive relative and standard heterosis were detected for flag leaf area, leaf chlorophyll content, proline content, Cd concentration and grain yield/plant under Cd-stressed condition. Dominance gene effect was more pronounced in controlling the evaluated traits in most cases. F values coupled with F/√H×D ratio were positive for Cd concentration and Cd sensitivity index in the three crosses under both conditions. Heritability estimates from offspring regression were high (< 50%) for flag leaf area, leaf chlorophyll content, proline content, Cd concentration while, moderately low for grain yield/plant and Cd sensitivity index. Prediction results revealed to high transgressive segregates and exceeding F1 with best-inbred line (P max) that have all favorable alleles were obtained from 3rd cross for flag leaf area, low Cd concentration and Cd sensitivity index under Cd-stressed conditions.

The study was designed to clarify the hepato-renal protective effects of propolis extract against heavy metals-induced toxicity via oral administration to the males of albino rats. Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), and Antimony (Sb) are toxic heavy metals have the ability to produce reactive radicals in the biological systems causing public and animals health hazards through disrupting balances between pro-oxidant and antioxidant defense system, resulting in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The most commonly affected organs are liver and kidney. Propolis is a natural product with different shapes and resinous substance collected by honey bees, it attenuates many diseases damage due to its anti-oxidative action and its potentiality to minimize the deleterious effects of free radicals on tissues. The concentrations of Pb, Cd, Ni and Sb as well as the activities of antioxidants endogenous enzymes including; glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were all determined in the tissues of liver and kidney; while aspartate transaminase (ASAT), alanine transaminase (ALAT), total protein (TP), urea and createnine, were measured in the serum of experimental rats beside histopathologicl examination in the tissues of liver and kidney. The oral administration of propolis provided a significantly therapeutic role against multi-metals-induced hepato-renal toxicity with relative improving to histopathological changes because of its scavenging and chelating properties as concluded from the present investigation.

The series of bis-cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes bearing different substituents (-H, -OCH3, -F, -CH3) at the aryl moiety (Ir-1, Ir-2, Ir-3 and Ir-4) have been synthesized and characterized by MASS and 1H NMR spectrometries, and IR, absorption and emission spectroscopies. The effects of the substituents on their oxygen sensing properties as well as optical properties and decay kinetics have been investigated systematically in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and ethyl cellulose (EC) thin films. The Ir (III) complexes embedded in EC-based thin films showed more advanced sensor dynamics, higher oxygen sensitivity, and superior relative signal changes when compared with their solution phase. The I0/I100 values of Ir-1, Ir-2, Ir-3 and Ir-4 immobilized in EC thin film were calculated as 11.3, 5.2, 7.0 and 25.6 for the concentration range of 0-100% pCO2, respectively. These results show that the weak electron-donating properties of the methyl groups at the aryl moiety improve remarkably the optical oxygen sensing abilities of the Ir (III) complexes.

Hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity are common side effects of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Silymarin (SLY) on 5-FU induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in mice. In our study, 10 mice in each group were randomly divided into four groups as the control group, 5-FU, SLY50+5-FU, and SLY100+5-FU group. SLY50+5-FU and SLY100+5-FU groups were administered at a dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg for seven days, respectively. 5-FU was administered at a dose of 400 mg/kg intraperitoneally on the fourth day. After the applications, the mice were decapitated under anesthesia. The liver and kidney functions which urea, creatinine, AST, ALT, and total bilirubin levels were analyzed in serum. In liver and renal tissues, MDA and GSH levels, SOD, CAT, and GR activity were determined. Also, histopathological and immunohistochemical changes were examined in liver and kidney sections. Urea, creatinine, ALT, AST, and total bilirubin levels increased 5-FU group according to control and prevented to this increases the especially high dose of SLY. 5-FU also causes histopathological and immunohistochemical changes such as degeneration, necrosis, hyperemia, DNA damage, and IL-6 increase in kidney and liver tissue. High doses of SLY prevented these changes caused by 5-FU. As a result of this study, it was determined that SLY has hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effects on 5-FU-induced liver and kidney damage in mice.
