Authors:   Department of Management Kampala International University Uganda, Chigbo Makata Jacinta
Published: March 2024

This paper explores the significant role of mass media in voters' education, focusing on its potential impact on the upcoming 2023 general election in Nigeria. Drawing on the Agenda Setting Theory and the capabilities of interactive communication, the study examines how mass media can effectively bring issues to the forefront of public attention, fostering engagement and understanding among diverse audiences. The inclusive nature of various mass media outlets, coupled with technological advancements enabling interactive features, presents a promising avenue for overcoming barriers in educating both literate and non-literate individuals. However, challenges such as perception biases, rural disparities, and practical hindrances must be addressed to fully unlock the potential of mass media in voters' education. The paper emphasizes the need for high-quality, carefully crafted messages delivered through collaboration among media organizations and relevant stakeholders to ensure the success of voters' education initiatives.

The issues of safety information in open notebook science
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: March 2024

Research in most places today is done under more or less rigorous safety regimes. A general approach which I believe is fairly universal is that any action should in principle be ‘Risk Assessed’. For many everyday procedures such an assessment may not need to be written down but it is general practise in the UK that there needs to be a paper trail that demonstrates that such risk assessments are carried out.

Analysis of the Growth Response of Cassava Plants (Manihot Esculenta) to Variability in Water Availability
Authors: Novrimansyah Eko Abadi
Published: March 2024

In recent decades, there has been a very pronounced climate change on earth.  Reduced rainfall and the occurrence of long droughts are direct impacts that can trigger other problems in the agricultural sector such as crop failure and weakening food security.  This will also have an impact on the process of growth and agricultural production in the Lampung Province area, especially on cassava plants. Water often limits the growth and development of cultivated plants. The response of plants to lack of water can be seen in their metabolic activity, morphology, growth rate, or productivity. Cell growth is the function of plants that are most sensitive to water shortages.  Lack of water will affect cell turgor so that it will reduce cell development, protein synthesis, and cell wall synthesis. The cassava clones used in this study were Garuda Clones with 5 treatment levels, namely the first treatment (P1) 0L, the second treatment (P2) 0.5L, the third treatment (P3) 1L, the fourth treatment (P4) 1.5L, the fifth treatment (P5) 2L. The result of this study is that there is a cassava growth response to water availability in each treatment except for the variable number of shoots. In the variable plant height, significant response variations are obtained, and it is known that the availability of water needed is directly proportional to the response to plant height growth that also increases.

Published: March 2024

Long-term experimental research is a model for a superior approach to the long-term effects of vegetation and plant production factors, in relation to the modification of soil-plant components, their productivity, environmental protection and food security. In their fairly well-established and evaluated existence of 180 years, one can assess and record the existence of these experiments on almost all continents, with particular and relevant responses to be implemented for the development of sustainable systems in the development of agriculture and the resolution in time of contemporary challenges for both agriculture and the environment. (Recording of the 180th anniversary of the founding of the "long term model" at Rothamsted - "Three - day hybrid event hosted online and at Rothamsted Research, West Common Harpenden" UK, 20th-22nd June 2023). This paper aims to interpret the changes in the soil-plant system, based on studies and research in experimental and soil analysis field, after long term effects in the experiments at Băcăinți - OSPA Alba and Turda - SCDA, with subsequent proposals for protection and increase of soil fertility and environmental conditions. In the same context, certain interpretations and limits are promoted in the foundation of agrochemical measures for fertility modelling and increased effect of fertilizers.
Selected Drybean Yield Parameters Affected by Phosphorus Fertilizer Sources under Different Locations of North-West Province, South Africa
Authors: Sebetha Erick , Mfanta Athini
Published: March 2024

Drybean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a significant source of protein and other essential macro- and micronutrients for human nutrition. This study was carried out in three ecologically different locations in the 2019/2020 growing season to assess the effect of phosphorus fertilizer source and environmental variations on selected drybean grain yield and quality. The experiment was a 3×4×2 factorial experiments fitted into a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with four replications. The three experimental sites were Mafikeng, Kraaipan and Taung. The four phosphorus fertilizer sources were the control, single superphosphate (SSP), mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) and maxi phos. The two drybean cultivars used in this study were PAN 9292 and PAN 148. Yield and quality parameters measured were, number of pods per plant, number of seed per pod, pod length, pod mass, ash, and fat content. Phosphorus fertilizer source had a significant effect on the ash content. The ash content of drybean treated with SSP was significantly higher. The pods number of each plant, length of pods, and pod mass were all significantly affected by location. Drybean planted in Mafikeng produced significantly higher pods number of each plant, longer pods, and higher pod mass than at the other locations. The ash and fat content were significantly affected by the location. The ash and fat content of drybean grown in Mafikeng were 2.23% and 2.93%, respectively. Drybean treated with monoammonium phosphate (MAP) showed higher number of pods per plant and longer pods length.
Changing electronic use behavior in adolescents while studying: An interventional psychology experiment
Authors: Kumar Sirohi , Burgess Dawn
Published: March 2024

In an increasingly technological world, electronic distractions are ubiquitous and make focused studying difficult. Students surround themselves with technology while studying, despite a plethora of evidence that cell phones, television, and social media negatively impact academic performance. Thus, it seems that theoretical knowledge of the negative effects of electronic distraction on academic performance alone is insufficient to change students’ study habits. In this paper, we hypothesized that if high school students observed the change in their academic performance due to electronic distractions, they would be more likely to change their study habits. We conducted an interventional psychology experiment to test the verbal and visual memory of high school students with various distractions present. The students performed these tests while listening to instrumental music, lyrical music, television, or in silence. After the interventions, subjects were asked if they would change their study habits based on their interventions. All students were then surveyed two weeks after the interventions to determine if they had changed their study habits. A higher percentage of the control group changed their habits, but several treatment group subjects were found to have ruminated on their interventions and ultimately changed their habits despite initially not committing to. This prompts further exploration into this method of habit-breaking for students.

Published: March 2024

Mobile phones, despite their importance in daily life, can disseminate pathogens due to their frequent contact with hands.  The purpose of the present study is to determine the prevalence of bacterial contamination on the mobile phones of healthcare personnel at the Baghdad Teaching Hospital, to identify the contaminating microorganisms, and to determine the preventive efficacy of 70% isopropyl alcohol. Sixty mobile phones from 40 physicians and 20 nurses were analyzed for microbial contamination. After collecting samples from each phone, they were disinfected with 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes and samples were recollected.  Twenty four hours of aerobic and anaerobic incubation of agar plates at 37 °C. The results indicated that 34 (56.7%) out of 60 samples were contaminated with bacteria. Approximately 57.5% of the mobile phones used by physicians and 45% of those used by nurses contained microorganisms. Before disinfection, the most common bacteria found in mobile phones were coagulase-negative staphylococci, followed by Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic (3.33%) and non-hemolytic (3.33%) Streptococci. While, E. coli and fungi contaminates were also found on mobile phone surfaces in equal percentage (6.67%). Following disinfection with 70% isopropyl alcohol, the number of bacteria was reduced to nil in 83.3% of the colonized mobile phones. This investigation demonstrated that commercially available, affordable and device safe wipes containing 70% isopropyl alcohol can significantly reduce mobile phone contamination. As a result, it is crucial for medical professionals to sterilize their mobile phones on a regular basis, as this can limit the dissemination of pathogens to patients and reduce the incidence of hospital acquired infections.

The structural metaphorical abstraction in Adrian Arleo's sculptural ceramics
Authors: نسرين سمير غدير  , صباح احمد حسين
Published: March 2024

This research delves into the philosophical concept of compositional metaphor and its artistic application, particularly in the works of the ceramic artist Adrian Aurelio. It aims to illustrate how compositional metaphor serves as a conduit for conveying philosophical insights and profound meanings through art. The structure of the research comprises four chapters.
The initial chapter (General Framework) addresses the research problem encapsulated in the question: "How was compositional metaphor activated to achieve ceramic output, and what visual elements did the ceramist employ in realizing these compound metaphors?" The research aims to identify compositional metaphor and its application mechanisms in the sculptural ceramics of Adrian Aurelio.
The second chapter (Theoretical Framework) encompasses two sections. The first section examines the concept of metaphor and compositional metaphor, while the second section explores the artistic outputs of the ceramicist Adrian Aurelio.

The third chapter (Research Procedures) delineates the research's scope, selecting four artistic works for analysis. The fourth chapter presents the results and conclusions. Among the key findings is the ceramist's adeptness in reaching a level of expressive semantic encoding through her sculptural ceramic discourse. She amalgamated fragments of the same gender (human parts) to create a human figure, rendering the pieces complementary to each other, inviting interpretative narrative readings that mirror reality with profound connotations. Compositional metaphor, therefore, emerges as a conscious construct, intertwining artistic vision with technology and culture. This fusion engenders aesthetic innovation and serves as a conduit for expressing her philosophy and societal concerns, amalgamating diverse components to formulate multi-layered messages pertaining to environmental, cultural, and social realms.

Infektimet nga COVID-19 po kushtëzojnë në mënyrë të ngjashme klinikat dentare në të gjithë botën. Qëllimi i kësaj teme është rishikimi i provave aktuale në lidhje me ndikimin e SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 në kujdesin dentar dhe shëndetin oral, që të ndihmojmë profesionistët të kuptojnë më mirë rreziqet e transmetimit të sëmundjes në mjediset dentare, të forcojnë mbrojtjen kundër infeksioneve nozokomiale dhe të identifikojnë fushat e hulumtimit të shëndetit oral të lidhura me CoviD-19. Kur krahasohet me pandemitë e tjera të kohëve të fundit, COVID-19 është më pak e rëndë por përhapet më lehtë, duke shkaktuar një numër dukshëm më të lartë të vdekjeve në të gjithë botën. Mbrojtja e pacientëve dhe stafit dentar gjatë COVID-19 është sfiduese për shkak të ekzistencës së pacientëve që janë infektivë por asimptomatikë. Provat biologjike dhe klinike mbështesin që mukoza e gojës është një vend fillestar i hyrjes për SARS- CoV-2 dhe se simptomat orale, duke përfshirë humbjen e shijes / erës dhe gojës së thatë, mund të jenë simptoma të hershme të COVID-19, që paraqiten para etheve, kollës së thatë , lodhje, gulçim dhe simptoma të tjera tipike. Studiuesit e shëndetit oral mund të luajnë një rol më aktiv në identifikimin dhe diagnostikimin e hershëm të sëmundjes përmes deshifrimit të mekanizmave të tharjes së gojës dhe humbjes së shijes në pacientët me COVID-19. Testimi i shpejtë për sëmundjet infektive në zyrat dentare përmes mostrave të pështymës mund të jetë i vlefshëm në identifikimin e hershëm të pacientëve të infektuar dhe në vlerësimin e progresit të sëmundjes. Artikulli sjell rezultate të studimeve të ndryshme në Amerikë dhe Itali, dhe në Vlorë, si për nga ana protokollare po ashtu edhe për nga rezultatet dhe efektet financiare të pandemisë në klinikat dentare . Realizimi i disa pyetësorëve në klinikat dentare të Vlorës është bërë me qëllim për të parë në analogji me rezultatet e studimeve të tjera të zhvilluara në vende të ndryshme. Përveç shëndetit të vënë në rrezik, kjo sëmundje ka ndikuar dukshëm edhe në ekonominë e gjithë komunitetin dhe normalisht këtu përfshihen edhe klinikat dentare.

Decision Support System for Achievement Scholarship Recipients at Vocational High Schools with the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method
Authors: Irfan Turahman
Published: March 2024

In SMK Negeri 2 BIMA, there is a scholarship program, but the process of giving is still running manually and subjectively. The system used is still not computerized, so at the time of selection, the scholarship recipients are directly selected without specific criteria, which could be based on family relationships. So, there is a weakness in the current system running, one of which is less precisely the distribution of scholarships. This happened because it was influenced by the amount of data the incoming scholarship recipients entered. Therefore, a system that can jointly assist the school in decision-making based on these criteria is needed. The AHP algorithm is the basis of decision-making to determine the students who excel in the system to be built. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides convenience with multiple criteria assessments with a framework of thinking that uses a hierarchical process which then calculates the weight for each criterion in determining the eligibility of students who will receive achievement scholarships. The results of this study are expected to help SMK 2 Bima decide which students are more entitled to receive outstanding scholarships. The output generated from this system is in the form of a ranking of prospective scholarship recipients.

Institucije i dobro upravljanje kao faktor migratornih kretanja u Evropi
Authors: Molnar Dejan , Ostojić Ivana , Jovanović Predrag
Published: March 2024

Cilj istraživanja je da se utvrdi relativan značaj dve grupe faktora koje determinišu stopu neto migracija: ekonomskih, kao što je visina bruto prosečne mesečne zarade i neekonomskih, koji obuhvataju kvalitet institucionalnog uređenja oslonjen prevashodno na indikatore kontrole korupcije i vladavine prava. Prema neoklasičnoj teoriji migracija ekonomski faktori imaju dominantan uticaj na donošenje odluke o migracijama. Institucionalna teorija migracija zagovara stav da institucionalni i upravljački faktori imaju prevagu nad ekonomskim. Na uzorku od 48 evropskih zemalja, za period 1996 – 2021. godine primenom tehnika ekonometrijske analize panel podataka identifikovani su prediktori stope neto migracija u evropskim zemljama. Analiza je potvrdila da je kvalitet institucionalnog okvira od izuzetne važnosti i da su vladavina prava i kontrola korupcije imali snažniji uticaj na neto migracije u zemljama Evrope od bruto prosečnih mesečnih zarada. Istraživanjem je takođe potvrđeno i to da su institucionalni faktori imali snažniji uticaj na neto migracije u manje razvijenim evropskim zemljama koje nisu članice Evropske unije nego u 28 zemalja članica. Manje razvijene evropske zemlje moraju posebnu pažnju posvetiti izgradnji institucija, vladavini prava i kontroli korupcije ukoliko žele da zaustave negativne trendove u neto migracijama, te da ovi faktori imaju prevagu u odnosu na ekonomske koji su bili dominantni u XX veku.
