The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on many businesses, including the “Nasi Jinggo” micro business in Denpasar City, especially the Nasi Jinggo angkringan located on Jalan Gajah Mada, Denpasar. The amount of sales that can be achieved, the operating profit that can be earned, and the number of customers that can be served have decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to consider alternatives that can be employed to address existing issues. One approach to do this is to create a promotional model that integrates several relevant social media platforms. The purpose of this community service is to develop Nasi Jinggo's entrepreneurs' abilities to promote social media and create social media promotion media such WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook to communicate their products. This service includes training on the importance of social media promotion and also guidance or consultation on how to make social media promotions through WhatsApp. This project takes place on Jalan Gajah Mada, Denpasar City, which is a member of the micro business group or Angkringan Nasi Jinggo. After the activity was carried out, the Nasi Jinggo micro business owner who had agreed to use the business name "Nasi Jinggo Bu Kojek" was able to promote using social media in several available platform options such as Instagram, Facebook, Whatshapp. Sales performance may improve as a result of the development of this social media campaign, and the Nasi Jinggo angkringan "Bu Kojek" brand is strengthened. It is hoped that in the future this community service activity can be sustainable by offering other social media platforms

Published: March 2022

Plant diversity, aboveground biomass, and carbon stock along portions of Quezon Mountain Range were assessed in three elevation gradients, e.g., low (400-799 m a.s.l.), middle (800-1,199 m a.s.l.), and high (1,200-1,600 m a.s.l.) in Southern Mindanao using quadrat sampling technique. A total of 146 plant species were identified including threatened Shorea contorta, Parashorea malaanonan, Dillenia philipinensis, Alstonia macrophylla, Cinammomum mercadoi, Palaqium luzoniense, Neolitsea vidalii, Dacrycarpus elatumi, and Dacrycarpus imbricatus. On the average, low diversity was recorded in all gradients particularly in low and middle elevation ranges where alteration of vegetation cover, and proliferation of bio-invasive Piper aduncum were observed. Biomass and carbon stock were largest in high elevation where the inaccessible old growth forest is located compared to a proposed mine site in low and middle elevation that are predominated by grassland, farmlands, disturbed secondary growth forest, and human settlements. Overall, carbon stocks ranged from 33.8 to 192.0 MgC ha-1 suggesting the good potential of the area to mitigate climate change. Sustainable management of biodiversity and carbon stock is needed by apportioning productive and protective zones in the mountain.

Published: March 2022

The study was conducted to assess the vulnerability of groundwater resource to contamination in Boracay Island, Aklan, Philippines, using the DRASTIC model in combination with Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS). Specifically, the study determined the vulnerability of groundwater resource to pollution contamination by computing its vulnerability index. From this, a groundwater vulnerability map was developed and policy intervention recommendations were formulated targeted to ensure the sustainability of ecotourism industry on the island. Results confirmed the high vulnerability of Boracay Island’s groundwater resources to contamination and that unregulated pressures due to tourism development could lead to the further degradation of its groundwater and coastal resources. In terms of spatial extent, the groundwater resources of Boracay Island that were found to be vulnerable to contamination are as follows: approximately 410.28 ha (40.87 %) are moderately vulnerable; 562.37 ha (56.01 %) are highly vulnerable; and 30.95 ha (3.08 %) are considered as very highly vulnerable. The study likewise exhibited the combined use of the DRASTIC model and Quantum GIS as an effective method for groundwater contamination vulnerability assessment. It also demonstrated the effectiveness of the model in developing vulnerability maps and the combined use of the model and QGIS in identifying vulnerable areas to contamination that can aid in policy making, planning and management interventions to attain sustainable ecotourism industry in an island ecosystem. The immediate legislation of local ordinance to construct sewerage system on identified critical areas is recommended to mitigate the deterioration of aquatic resources in Boracay Island in the future.

Fruit bats are important seed dispersers that aid in natural forest regeneration in degraded areas. This study assessed fruit bat species in a portion of Mt. Apo, Kidapawan City, North Cotabato from September to December 2010 covering six habitat types: human settlement area/residential area, agro-ecosystem/cultivated area, secondary forest/ reforested site, forest edge, riverine/riparian area and montane forest for 1,118 net night hours. The food habits of the bats were also determined based on fecal examination and dropped fruits, which were verified through secondary information using indigenous knowledge interviews. A total of five bat species were noted such as Cynopterus brachyotis (n=83), Haplonycteris fisheri (n=33), Ptenochirus minor (n=25), Macroglossus minimus (n=20) and Ptenochirus jagori (n=12) wherein almost 50% of these are Philippine endemics and could be considered as seed dispersers of diverse trees. This study recommends the protection of Philippine and Mindanao endemic fruit bats such as P. minor, H. fischeri and P. jagori, through the conservation of their staple food (Ficus species) and the remaining primary forest habitat.

Diverse array of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and protists are involved during oil spill. Each microorganism has its own specific function whether it has to degrade or adsorb hydrocarbons. One important microorganism is the Thraustochytrid that is a fungoid protist and are common in marine and estuarine habitats. Numerous studies existed on the biodegradation and adsorption of Thraustochytrids on various substances but not on Bunker C oil. Thus, this study aimed to determine the adsorption capacity and mean biomass of Thraustochytrids in Bunker C oil using different cell densities measured in grams. All of the three treatments or cell densities (1 x 105 cells ml-1 , 1 x 106 cells ml-1 and 1 x 107 cells ml-1) were triplicated and average values were recorded. Oil dispersant was used as a control. It showed that Thraustochytrid with 1 x 107 cells ml-1 showed the highest adsorbed oil (.057 ḡ) among the three cell densities and showed significant difference at p = .01 but comparable to the control (.066 ḡ). In terms of biomass concentration, all cell densities showed no significant difference at p = .01. Thraustochytrid is a promising tool during oil spill because it has the capacity to adsorb oil.

Published: March 2022

Introduction. Currently, the influence of the psychoemotional state of a person on the results of exposure to exogenous damaging factors is well studied. However, until now, this circumstance has been taken into account when assessing the stochastic effects of radiation. The work is devoted to analyzing the influence of the psychoemotional state of a person (stress) on the results of irradiation in the range of 10-1000 mGy. Materials and methods. The results of our research and literature data on the effects of chemical and radiation factors, taking into account the level of stress, on the health of the studied cohorts are summarized. Results. The article summarizes the results of our studies of the effects of genome instability in adults and children from large and small industrial cities of Russia and Kazakhstan, taking into account the severity of stress. It was shown that the genotoxic effects of exogenous toxic and radiation factors acting, including in vitro, were comparable with the degree of severity of stress determined using standard psychological tests. The main damaging factor in the groups of liquidators was the state of pronounced maladaptive stress. The study established that to assess the stochastic effects of training and their relationship with the dose, it is also necessary to allocate a group of adaptive and maladaptive stress based on the results of stress testing. The differences in the results can be 2-3 times. The authors propose a new approach to stress assessment, which provides an adequate forecast of possible changes in the individual sensitivity of the genome to the action of exogenous toxic and genotoxic factors, including ionizing radiation. Conclusion. The peculiarities of the body’s perception of weak stressors of a physical nature should be taken into account when analyzing the medical consequences of exposure to ionizing radiation. To quantify the stochastic effects of the effectiveness of protective measures, it is proposed to use a coefficient that considers the impact of stress - the stress coefficient (SC), and its value, before conducting clarifying studies, should be taken equal to 2.

Introduction. The problem of long-term pollution of primary environment objects and, accordingly, the safety of population lives in connection with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine as a component rocket fuel seems to be quite urgent. In this case, the danger lies in the prolonged exposure to the compound in small quantities. Materials and methods. As the object of these studies, we used unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (“heptyl”, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (CH3)2N2H2, CAS No. 57-14-7) with the substance mass fraction equal to 99.0% and the specific gravity d420 = 0.7914 g/cm3. “Heptyl” is highly soluble in water. Toxicological studies on laboratory animals were carried out following the requirements of the current guidelines. Results. In the course of the experimental studies, chronic 6-month oral intake of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine in rats at doses of 4.0 · 10 -4 mg/kg, 8.0 · 10 -5 mg/kg and 1.5 · 10 -5 mg/kg was accompanied by changes in the complex of physiological, behavioural, haematological, biochemical and immunological parameters. The linear dose-effect dependence was registered both in the width and depth of the effect. At the same time, the maximum number of statistically significant changes was revealed when exposed to the compound at the highest level and amounted to 26, of which 7 had bisigmal deviations from similar indices in the control group. In the second experimental group, a specific decrease in the toxic effect was recorded, as evidenced by 14 significant shifts in indicators, 3 of which went beyond two sigmas relative to control. In the third experimental group of animals, the considered ratio was 4/0. Conclusions. Based on the current diagnostic criteria, the dose of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine 1.5 · 10 -5 mg/kg was adopted as the threshold for chronic general toxic action. The revealed features of the negative impact of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine were taken into account when substantiating its MPC in water bodies.
One war, different coverage: Exploring cultural influences on international media framing of the Iraq War
Authors: Nwankpa Nduka , Ezeji Agnes , Chile Solomon
Published: March 2022

The aim of the study was to demonstrate in empirical terms how cultural forces shape media coverage of global events. To buttress this fact, the spotlight was on international media coverage of the war in Iraq. The Iraq War was a defining media event. To underpin cultural influences on the war coverage, the paper reviewed five studies (Ravi, 2005; Dimitrova & Connolly-Ahern, 2007; Kolmer & Semetko, 2009; Barker, 2012, Gou et al., 2015) on the coverage of the war in different countries. Results revealed that the cultural context within which each news source was situated shaped the news representation of the war. The cultural factors that influenced the coverage were beyond the control of journalists and their media organizations, suggesting that culture is an important variable that should be considered when studying news production and coverage. The findings reinforce the widely held view that news production is shaped by competing influences, including cultural values.
YOUTUBE AND SECOND LIFE FOR INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE LEARNING: AWARENESS AND USAGE IN TERTIARY EDUCATION IN NIGERIA
Authors: Epepe Umefien Dakoru
Published: March 2022

Purpose: This paper examined awareness and usage of YouTube and Second Life in indigenous language learning in tertiary education in Nigeria.

Methodology: The study anchored on socio-cultural constructivism and adopted the survey research design. The population of the study was two-fold. The first component comprised of 52 Nigeria Certificate in Education students from five Federal Colleges of Education, who registered for the language acculturation programme at the National Institute for Nigerian Languages (NINLAN) in 2018. The second part of the population included ten lecturers of Nigerian languages in NINLAN. Since the study was focused on learning, and the population of students was manageable, the census sampling technique was applied. Thus, all 52 students were involved in the survey. Based on a representation of the three major Nigerian languages, the purposive sampling technique aided the selection of three lecturers: one each for Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. Out of which, two lecturers were available at the time of the study. Quantitative data were collated from the students via a self-administered questionnaire, while the interview method was used to elicit qualitative data from the lecturers. Quantitative data were analysed using simple percentages, Chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test.

Findings: Findings showed a significant awareness of YouTube, but its usage for indigenous language learning was insignificant. Compared to YouTube, the awareness of Second Life was lower and it was not used for indigenous language learning.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that tertiary education; particularly language teacher education should incorporate Web 2.0 channels such as YouTube and Second Life into traditional classroom pedagogy to bridge resource gaps in indigenous language learning.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AMONG WOMEN IN IKENNE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, OGUN STATE; AN APPRAISAL OF PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Audu Sarah , Ugwukah Alexander
Published: March 2022

Purpose: This paper takes an incisive examination of economic development with specific focus on some of the problems confronting the involvement of rural women in development activities in Ikenne Local Government.

Methodology: The paper addresses this issue through qualitative methodologies by relying heavily on Primary and Secondary Sources of data collection consisting of oral Interviews with selected rural women in the Local Government. Relevant Text books, Journals, and Internet Sources were consulted to corroborate evidences from the findings.

Findings: Although women have served as critical agents of rural economic transformation, such roles has been limited by illiteracy, lack of adequate finance, lack of processing and storage facilities, unsteady power supply, poverty. Their impacts have been felt indirectly in subsistent agriculture, and directly at the domestic domain. The role of women in the economic development of Ikenne Local Government Area in Ogun State cannot be overemphasized. This is because, there is basically no aspect of economic development in Ogun State that rural women would not be found.  Generally, Ikenne rural women are majorly involved in agricultural activities such as planting, weeding, harvesting, processing and marketing. They also keep some domestic animals and birds. Rural women’s limited access to productive resources, low educational level and illiteracy are contributors to rural women’s poverty. The study discovered that Illiteracy affects extent to which benefits can be accrued from newer, non-traditional methods such as: information and communication technologies.

Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: The research therefore recommended that rural women in Ikenne local government should be exposed to various economic platforms for knowledge mobilization, innovation, and partnerships for sourcing funds to carry out their economic activities. The work concluded that promotion of agricultural development should be through the provision of useful and relevant information to the farming communities by the extension services. There are many constraints making rural women farmers to be lagging behind economically, apart from lack of agricultural information. Further main constraints such as the lack of personal land and credit should be enhanced to suit the necessity of the rural women. Rural women are limited in terms of their potential in contributing to agricultural and socio-economic development.

Authors: Nnaemeka Nathaniel
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Is corruption a source of unemployment in Nigeria? Do corrupt practices such as bribery, favouritism and nepotism play a role in employment in Nigeria? Through the aforementioned questions, the objective of this study was to propose good policies that can enable policy makers to reduce the high unemployment rate in Nigeria.

Methodology: Through Johansen co-integration, Granger causality and impulse response, our empirical result used time series data collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (2019) statistical bulletin and Bureau of Statistics (2019) covering the period of 1980-2018 reveal that corruption is a source of unemployment.

Findings: Specifically, corruption is positively related to unemployment, corruption granger cause unemployment, and unemployment positively responds to corruption respectively. In other words, through our logistic regression model our empirical investigation reveals that bribery, favouritism and nepotism play significant role in employment in Nigeria.

Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: To reduce the high rate of unemployment, setting up an independent anti-corruption body to reduce corruption should be the priority of political and economic decision makers. This will also reduce the rate of bribery, favouritism and nepotism in public places.

Published: March 2022

Purpose: The study set out to determine the relationship status of farmers’ organisations in the region, examine the opportunities for farmer organisations in achieving households’ food security, and investigate the challenges farmer organisations face in achieving household food security.

Methodology: The study used  descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional research designs grounded by a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data was collected on a sample of 370 households using a structured questionnaire, while qualitative data was collected from 16 face-to-face interviews. The study used both purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Data analysis was done using descriptive and Pearson correlation analyses, while thematic content analysis generated qualitative results.

Findings: The Study indicated a positive albeit weak relationship between farmer organisations and household food security in the Acholi Sub-region. The results indicated that most farmer organisations are inactive and informal with low household participation. A possible explanation could be the small membership size and organisations’ inability to tap existing production and marketing opportunities.

Unique contribution to practice and policy: The study guides the government in creating an enabling environment that supports farmer organisations in accessing external markets and market information by improving infrastructure and strengthening capacity building of farmer organisations to increase food security.

The Qur'anic sage is the source of knowledge and wisdom, and the ocean is endless. If you dive into the book, many facts and interpretations come to light in the form of words and expressions. The word truth should be researched from any point of view in the Qur'anic context. The real and additional meaning is determined by the internal and external contexts. Therefore, in the following research, the opinions of the commentators regarding the meanings of the word truth mentioned in the Quran will be mentioned.

This paper is presenting the Shariah classifications of time being solutions (Hiyal) and Blocking the means (Sadd Al Dharai), it is laso discussed that the time being solutions have very impactful history in Islamic financial times either it was the time of last prophit (PBUH) or before the start of Islam. The paper also help to understand the actual meaning/situations of Hiyal and their applications as per the principals of Islamic Law of Contract, as discussed earlier there are always a Chunk of problems that can not be treated on the basis of normal way of Islamic financial regulations because there are a lot of situations/practical scenarios/financial issues that have very different and modern class as per today's updated World, so the need of time being solutions is always there to cater above needs and to make the way possible for the believers under the supreme guidelines of Islamic Shariah. This write-up is also focused regarding main School of thoughts, Ahnaf, Malkia, Hanabila and Shafiah, it was tried that on best effort basis the time being solutions should be workable in all schools, therefore, conclusion of each segment is mentioned. The second part of the paper contains the studies of Sadd Al Dharai, this is also very strong debate between Shariah Scholars that if the Shariah guidelines can be based on Sadd Al Dharai, the details were discussed in this paper considering the valued impact of the subject into day to day Shariah rulings. Over all this effort will help the readers, researchers and followers to understand the actual situations of Hiyal and Sadd Al Dharai and to understand the current Islamic financial system and industry in sha Allah
Narrative display of the ‘I’ through the visualization of narrative graphs: the case of four women who lost their spouse due to unexpected death

This article aims to understand the reconstruction of the self in the grieving process through the unfolding narrative of the stories of four women who lost their spouses due to unexpected death. The applied research technique was the semi-structured interview. For the visualization strategy, narrative graphs were used, and a content analysis was also performed. It was possible to identify and understand the transformation of the self in a narrated timeline by the subjects in which two fundamental folds are formed in this resignification. The first fundamental fold: confrontation and couple relationship; and the second: withdrawal of the couple's relationship and reworking of life as a couple. It was concluded that there are dominant issues regarding death, mourning, and through the narrative technique. It was achievable to elaborate alternative stories by recognizing the meaning that the interviewees gave to loss and the elements of the social and cultural environment present in the grieving process as a relational act, rather than an internal process.

The conventional approach in reservoir characterization uses an extrapolation of petrophysical properties calculated from well logs in determining the entire field volume. This technique fails to acknowledge/ factor in the heterogeneity of a reservoir, and consequently leads to errors in reservoir capacity quantification. This research work employs a deterministic seismic inversion approach in determining the petrophysical properties of each reservoir sand. First, the reservoir sand was identified from intervals of low gamma-ray value with corresponding high resistivity log value. A synthetic seismogram was generated to tie the well to the seismic data and identify events that correspond to the reservoir sands. This was done by convolving the generated reflectivity series, derived from approximated Zeoppritz reflectivity with a zero-phase wavelet generated using the seismic. Acoustic impedance from the well and seismic were analyzed and proved to have a strong correlation. The impedance was then constrained with determined petrophysical parameters from the well, and it was used in generating the petrophysics base model used in the inversion. Deterministic seismic inversion was carried out to be able to determine the petrophysical properties such as porosity, the volume of shale, and water saturation that are associated with the fluids from the seismic volume of Jay-field shallow offshore of Niger Delta.

An electrical resistivity tomography survey was carried out in Diyala University campus, southern Baqubaa city, Iraq. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of electrical resistivity tomography to detect the buried sewage system as well as to assess its environmental impact on the surrounding soil. Six parallel resistivity profiles were carried out at a perpendicular direction to the axis of the sewage system. Two-and three-dimensional geoelectrical models were constructed to determine the distribution of resistivity and its relation with both buried structures and contaminated zones. The results showed an intermediate relative resistivity zone (6-10 Ω.m) and several rounded very low resistivity zones (< 1 Ω.m), identifying the underground sewage system and contaminated soil, respectively. Based on variations in resistivity values, six holes (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6) were drilled. A total of six soil samples at 1.5m depth (1 sample per hole) were collected for heavy metals concentrations analysis. The results of the chemical analysis showed a higher concentration of heavy metals near the septic system than that the area away from it. Much lower resistivity zones (<1 Ω.m) and the higher concentration of heavy metals observed near septic system indicate the impact of contamination by migration from the septic tank into the nearby soil. The results of this study confirm the efficiency of electrical resistivity tomography for detecting a buried object and mapping contaminated zone for engineering and environmental applications.

The thermodynamic analysis and calculations of the high entropy metastable binary alloy ironmanganese system have been carried out using the CALPHAD (Calculation of phase Diagram) method based on THERMO-CALC (thermodynamic calculations) package and FEDATE database. Thermodynamic analysis contain the assessment and calculation of phase diagram, Gibbs energy of mixing, excess Gibbs energies, thermodynamic molar activities, coefficient of activities, partial and integral values of enthalpy for Fe-Mn alloy system at three elevated temperatures 1200K, 1225K, and 1250K.The entropy of the said alloy system is calculated by showing linear accordance with temperature. The sudden increase is found in enthalpy curve due to overlapping of grain boundaries of the system. The high enthalpy shows increasing heat contents of the said alloy system with increasing temperature range. The alloy shows a positive deviation from Vegard’s law, Henry’s law and corresponding negative deviation from Raoults’s law ideal Gibbs curve. The obtained results show that the ferromagnetic states of Fe-Mn alloy is the most stable state FCC_A1#1. For Mn and Fe system, the phase equilibria show activity curve data for solid state and show ideal characteristics behaviors. Small positive deviation from Henry’s law was observed from the ideal curve. The alloy shows equilibrium and good stability.
