Published: July 2023

Fractal geometry has many applications in physiology and anatomy, providing novel insights into the structure and function of biological systems and organs, including the placenta. The placenta is a vital fetal organ that is the means by which essential nutrients and oxygen are extracted from maternal blood and transferred to the developing fetus. Anatomically, the placenta is a highly intricate structure exhibiting self-similarity at different scales. The complex relationship between placental function in nutrient transfer and fetal growth follows the allometric metabolic scaling law. The variety of shapes of the placental chorionic plate, a 2D plane that contains the major chorionic arteries and veins, has been linked to measures of child health and neurodevelopmental outcomes. The microscopic arrangement of chorionic villi has also been demonstrated to have fractal properties that vary by gestational age and in different pathological conditions. Geographical Information Systems theory could be used to analyze the placental topography in the context of its surface vasculature. Measures of spatial autocorrelation can model placental growth and development over gestation. An ideal model would mark the timing, nature, and severity of gestational pathology modifying placental growth and, by extension, fetal development that leads to poor pregnancy outcomes.

Published: July 2023

During the last decade, U.S. government agencies have published multiple online geographical databases. Containing demographic, environmental, public health, and urban service information, they permit users to examine environmental justice issues at county, city, and census tract scales. After briefly describing the opportunities associated with these sources, we illustrate their use to inform government policy with examples drawn from the U.S. Department of Energy’s environmental management program. These examples include ranking of site areas regarding their need for environmental-justice-related assistance and the identification of opportunities to work with local colleges. The illustrations highlight the strengths and limitations of these databases and suggest ideas for increasing their utility to researchers and the general public. We strongly believe that these databases will expand and become even more useful.

Published: July 2023

The COP26 conference declared the end of the “coal” era in the economy. The coal thermal power plants (TPPs) are subject to closure. For many macroeconomics, this is a large energy and economic losses. But the fleet of coal-fired thermal power plants can be saved by switching to burning ammonia base fuel an instead of coal. Ammonia has a hydrogen content of 17.6% and an almost unlimited raw material base. The convenience and experience of transportation, storage, and processing of ammonia make it a promising source of energy storage. But ammonia produced using water hydrolysis is more expensive than coal as a fuel. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that holdings based on the principles of the circular economy for nuclear power plants and/or renewable energy sources with ammonia production plants are able to ensure the operating costs of electricity production with low pollutant emission and zero carbon dioxide emission at the level of coal thermal power plants.

Published: July 2023

The family Campterophlebiidae Handlirsch, 1920 is the dominant Jurassic clade of Odonata Fabricius, 1793, especially hosting a high diversification in northern China. The Chinese campterophlebiid damsel-dragonflies were mainly recovered from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, northern China. In the present study, a new campterophlebiid, Parasinitsia qingyunensis n. gen., n. sp., is described from the early Middle Jurassic Yanan Formation of the Ordos Basin, NW China. Parasinitsia n. gen. resembles the genus Sinitsia Pritykina, 2006 recorded from the Upper Jurassic of eastern Transbaikalia, but differs from the latter in having two or three rows of cells between RA and RP1 distal of the pterostigma, IR2 and RP3/4 with at least four rows of cells near the wing margin, and CuAa with about 15 rows of cells between it and the posterior wing margin in the broadest area. The new damsel-dragonfly comes from a new early Middle Jurassic insect site from the Ordos Basin, providing new clues to understand the terrestrial ecosystems during this epoch.

Authors:   , Kipendaroho Aina
Published: July 2023

Family is a basic unit in society where traditionally, parents raise their children and family bonds survive longer and provide a primary sense of belonging. It has been observed that it become difficult when extended family become complex to find distant relatives using traditional approaches this is due to rural-urban migration and residential mobility, which has been weakened family relationship. Several researchers have developed systems to help relatives in discovering their family relationships using genealogical data, nevertheless, these systems may provide false-positive findings when there is lack of information. In Tanzania the genealogical sites have insufficient individual’s family information for family discovery. The purpose of this paper is to present a developed mobile based application for discovering family relationships with no use of genealogical data and use of rule-based system to identify the type of relationship with a person. Both primary and secondary data collection methods were used to collect data and analyzed using R-studio. The research revealed that rule-based system can easily discover family relationships, and families grow when people interact with the mobile application (MyFam). The system was validated with users, where results emphasized its efficiency as a discovery tool with performance of 40% in user experience, 40% in system functionalities and 55% in system interface. The contribution of this study is to provide a mobile application that can be used in many countries for discovering family members relationships. In addition, due to efficacy of the rule-based system, any relationship can be inferred simply and reliably based on how family relationships are named.
Automated uninterruptible power supply battery protector: case study of Tanzania atomic energy commission, Arusha-Tanzania
Authors:   , Gurisi Angelo
Published: July 2023

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to its load when the input power source fails and manages power fluctuations through its battery during power failure to allow a user to save work and shut down a system procedurally. The UPS’ electrical ability depends on its battery’s strength. At Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC) users mostly leave their UPS on as they go home, and when there is blackout, the UPS batteries get drained to zero leading to a significant number of UPS getting damaged in a year. Automated Uninterruptible Power Supply Battery Protector (AUPSBP) is developed to protect UPS battery at the institution using Kanban Agile methodology which supported teamwork. The AUPSBP monitors the voltage from mains to UPS using a voltage sensor. When the sensor detects a lack of voltage from the mains to UPS, AUPSBP triggers timer counting down towards switching the UPS off. When tested, AUPSBP switched off the UPS when the set time of 5 minutes elapsed, and when UPS battery voltage was <100V protecting UPS battery from draining to zero during blackout. It sent Short Messages using Global System for Mobile communication when mains power was switched off, and when UPS was switched off before the set time of 5 minutes elapsed. The AUPSBP is effective for switching off UPS before its battery drains to zero to prevent battery damage on different types and sizes of UPSs with only changes in switch and timer. Therefore, AUPSBP is needed to protect UPS at TAEC.

A mobile-based system for loans management: a case of banque de gestion et de financement
Authors:   , Bizoza Armel
Published: July 2023

As technology has evolved and has embraced nearly all sectors of human daily life, bank processes are not left behind. Moreover, mobile technology penetration and internet access in Africa have increased a lot. In Burundi, internet users have increased by 452 thousand (+39%) between 2020 and 2021. Therefore, the introduction of a mobile system for the banking process would be in line with the region’s digital trends. As for the case of the Burundian bank, the Banque de Gestion et de Financement (BGF) some processes are still done manually and the physical presence of the client is mandatory. This is the case in the loan application process. Existing studies have presented digital solutions for loan management but the studies are not tailored to Burundian banks' processes and regulations and there are security issues that are not addressed. To tackle the above challenges and enhance the loan management process, this study proposes a mobile-based system that manages the loan requests: the customer applies for a loan and is informed of the approval or rejection of the application online without reaching the banks’ offices. The system provides feedback to the customer within fewer processes and in secure and reliable conditions. The proposed system does not incorporate the entire loan management process. The flow of information within BGF departments during the loan application analysis is not included in the proposed system. The system development process was based on the agile model methodology and the prototype was completed with the use of tools such as android studio, html5, css3, angular JavaScript, bootstrap for the front end, and PHP and MySQL for the back end. The system verification and validation included 10 participants from BGF (staff) and 15 BGF customers. The 25 participants evaluated the proposed system and gave positive feedback regarding the performance, ease of use, and usefulness.
Development of swahili speaking body weight scale for visually impaired people in Tanzania
Authors:   , Nzasangamariya Gloriose
Published: July 2023

Speaking weight scale is an important low vision health aid which measures and announces out the measured weight. It is valuable in numerous applications such as Bathroom scale, Kitchen scale and more. Different talking scales have been developed for blind community. Many talking scales have language option for English, German, French or Spanish. However, only limited work exists for Swahili speaking visually impaired community in East African Community (EAC) given the fact that no talking scale can announce weight in Swahili, which is the common language in EAC. Therefore, this project aims to develop a Swahili speaking weighing machine to assist visually impaired people in Tanzania. The proposed speaking scale is divided into two major parts. On the front-end of the design, sensors are used to capture weight parameters. The captured values are mapped onto sequence of voice patterns. The back-end consists of transferring a sequence of voice patterns to a loudspeaker whereby the voice patterns are stored on an SD card. Finally, the developed device has been evaluated on several objects (certified scale calibration weights) with known weights. Each object was reweighed two times. Placed certified calibration weights on the scale and note the output. Took the measured object off the scale and let the scale return to zero. Placed the same object on the scale again. Noted the output again. The results then showed that the scale displayed the same weights on each object. The expected weight of given objects was then compared with the recorded ones to assess the performance of the scale. The results then showed that the scale is able to measure objects, displays digital output of measured weight and announce it in Swahili language within the accuracy of 1% error range of the actual weight. The proposed device has a great potential as a low vision health aid for Swahili speaking. The features of this device can be further improved to increase the autonomy of blind people to use the device and navigate to the device’s location safely.
IoT based system for monitoring and controlling of electrical energy for leather industry a case study in Kenya
Authors:   , Kiguta Joseph
Published: July 2023

Nowadays, most industries receive large energy consumption sheets daily, making it challenging to monitor and control energy consumption. This suggests a need for the development of an energy monitoring system to help observe the energy consumption behavior and be able to make timely corrections in energy consumption. Therefore, this project aimed to develop the electronic prototype of the monitoring and control system from an application for a cell phone with an Android system. The energy monitoring system could help in saving precious non-renewable sources. This project employed the agile methodology to allow for system requirements and analysis, system development, system implementation, integration, and testing. The information was acquired using energy consumption sensors and analyzed based on statistical tables stored in the cloud, for four days. The sensors communicate via a wireless network that operates on the 2.4GHz frequency, where the NRF 24 L01 + transceiver was used. Moreover, a Raspberry pi Zero was utilized for the configuration of the central node, and this was responsible for the collection of the information gathered in the sensors and publishing it in the cloud every hour. For the android system-based application, the data was collected graphically. Lastly, the developed system also produces real-time consumption data, which were then analyzed to identify the devices with the highest consumption level relative to the total number of devices. The information gained after the analysis of the data was also useful in identifying any damaged equipment or machine. The damaged equipment and machine portrayed different behaviors (they appear to be outliers) in their energy consumption when compared to undamaged ones.

Authors:   , Masatu Eric
Published: July 2023

Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) are major problems worldwide resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are one of the salient features of intelligent systems in transportation. ADAS improves vehicle safety by providing real-time traffic information on road signs ahead. Road signs play an important role in road safety. To be effective, road signs must be visible at a distance that enables drivers to take the necessary actions. Static road signs, however, are often seen too late for a driver to respond accordingly. In this study, a system for alerting drivers about road signs has been developed and tested using a smart mobile phone. The study was conducted in Tanzania along an 80 km stretch of Arusha to Moshi highway. The haversine method was used precisely for the measure and estimation of the distance between two pairs of coordinates. It uses an existing supported phone-based navigation application, Google Map. The system provides a speech alert to a needed action which enhances attention diversion. According to the experimental results, the proposed methodology has the benefits of high accuracy within a user radius of 10 meters, minimum bandwidth, and low-cost system. Furthermore, the system application package SHA-1 signing certificates fingerprint is secured by limiting access to API key to avoid unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Physiological basis of post-harvest ripening and standardization of seed extraction in ash gourd
Authors: Gupta Nakul , Singh Prabhakar Mohan , Kumar Rajesh , Chaubey Tribhuvan , Singh Vikas
Published: July 2023

Manual seed extraction of ash gourd is time and labour extensive, and freshly harvested seeds possess dormancy. Hence, seed extraction protocol was standardized, and physio-biochemical changes associated with post-harvest ripening (PHR) were elucidated in ash gourd cv. Kashi Dhaval. Allowing pulp to ferment for 24 to 48 h gave the best quality seed (germination and vigour) compared to acid, alkali and manual extraction. PHR of fruit for 20-30 days before seed extraction gave the higher seed yield (seeds per fruit and 100-seed weight), higher seed germination and vigour compared to seed obtained from freshly harvested fruits. Physiological analysis showed that PHR increased the seed reserve (total soluble proteins, starch) except total soluble sugars, conceivably due to conversion to starch.

Published: July 2023

The intensity of the shade is a critical factor in the production of potted spathiphyllum. Plants were grown in various levels of green coloured shade net to assess the growth response regarding vegetative, flowering, and physiological characteristics. The results showed that under 75 % shade, spathiphyllum plants exhibited the most significant plant spread, petiole girth, leaf thickness, leaf number, and leaf length. Likewise, spathe characters such as length, width, diameter, and the number of blooms were recorded highest at 75 % shade level. Similarly, the fresh weight and dried weight of the leaves were also found to be significant. Foliage chlorophyll content and foliage longevity increased linearly with increasing shade. Shade levels improved the spathiphyllum’s foliage colour, an essential characteristic of indoor plants. It is concluded that using shade nets with a shade intensity of 75% would result in better growth and production of potted spathiphyllum, allowing farmers to earn more income.

Published: July 2023

The socioeconomic impact was based on a farm household survey conducted in Tenkasi and Tirunelveli districts of Tamil Nadu among 200 Chinese potato producers during 2021/2022. A logistic regression model was employed to identify factors determining the adoption of ‘SreeDhara’, and the Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment (IPWRA) method was used to assess the impact of the adoption of ‘SreeDhara’ on yield and income. The cost of cultivation, gross income, and net income for ‘SreeDhara’ adopters were 7, 37, and 87% higher than for non-adopters. Years of schooling, farm income, access to extension services, and block dummies had significant, positive effects on adopting the variety. The IPWRA results indicated yield and income of ‘SreeDhara’ adopters were higher than non-adopters by 23.65 and 24.99 %, respectively. The most significant constraints to adopting Chinese potatoes were lack of awareness about ‘SreeDhara,’ inaccessibility to credit, and the non-availability of crop insurance. Thus, recognizing its higher nutritional value and potential farm income, institutional support in the form of better extension linkages, credit facilities, and crop insurance to Chinese potato growers needs to be strengthened.

Turning of linguistics to the anthropogenic paradigm in recent decades has led to a spread of interdisciplinary humanitarian studies based on «Man-World-Language», «Man-language-Cognition», and «Man-Language-Culture» and «Man-Language-Value» triads. A new scientific paradigm aimed at describing the manifestation of worldview concepts in language, as the most important achievements of human civilization, has contributed to the formation of complex branches of linguistics. The anthropocentric principle of mastering national values has been widely implemented in teaching axiolinguistics to students. Considering the issues of axiolinguistics at higher education institutions is a priority in identifying and explaining the peculiarities of the linguistic image of the world and the national mentality that forms national worldview, national values of an individual, and the necessary degree of communicative activity by explaining the processes of intercultural communication and historical relationship between language and ethnos. To introduce successfully national values into the content of the course of axiolinguistics at universities, it is necessary to consider axiological concepts as a whole semantic system and to study the complex of the entire language (words, phrases, phraseological units, proverbs, names of mythical concepts, texts). As a result, a student will develop the skills to treat national culture and language as a part of human culture, to evaluate the real life around them in terms of national values. Keywords: axiolinguistics, national values, association questionnaire, key concepts, value perspective.

Тіл білімінің бүгінгі даму деңгейі тұрғысынан саралағанда адам факторының тілдегі көрінісі, яғни тілдік тұлғасы деген мәселелер өте өзекті. Мақалада көркем мәтінді ұйымдастырушы категориялардың ішінде ең маңыздылары – мәтін модалдылығы және автор бейнесі категориялары талданады, әрі тілдік тұлға мәселесі қарастырылады. Зерттеу әдістері ретінде мәтінді кешенді талдау әдісі, яғни сипаттамалық, семантика-стилистикалық, контекстік әдіс қолданылды. Автор бейнесі көркем шығармада тілдік құралдар арқылы жасалады, бірақ ол оқырман санасында туындайды. Мәтін модальдылығы автордың мәтіндегі хабарланған жайға қатынасы, көзқарасы, ұстанымы, оқырманға жеткізуге бағытталған өзіндік құндылықтары ретінде анықталады. Көркем мәтінде мәтін модалдылығы лексикалық, грамматикалық, синтаксистік және прагматикалық құралдар арқылы жүзеге асады. Зерттеу жұмысының материалы ретінде қазақтың заңғар жазушысы Ә.Кекілбаевтың "Аңыздың ақыры" романы алынды. Кілт сөздер: көркем мәтін, автор модалдылығы, автор бейнесі, тілдік тұлға, автор ұстанымы.

«Қалалық мәтін» ұғымы кешенді әрі көпқырлы болғандықтан күні бүгінге дейін ғылымда бұл терминнің нақты анықтамасы қалыптаспаған. Аталған мақалада әдебиеттегі урбанизм, қалалық мәтіннің көркем кодтары (табиғи және мәдени бейнелер, уақыт пен кеңістікті, олардың шектілігі пен созылыңқылығын бейнелеу тәсілдері, адамдардың тегі мен аттары, топонимдер, метабейнелеу элементтері, жалпы лексикалық-ұғымдық сөздік), қалалық мәтіндегі хронотоп мәселелері қарастырылады. Сонымен қатар қалалық мәтінде концепт, мотивтер мен сюжеттердің бірлікте қарастырылатындығы ғылыми зерттеулермен дәйектелген. Зерттеудің әдіснамасы ретінде Н.П. Анциферов, Ю.М. Лотман, В.Н. Топоров, К. Линч, Н.В. Шмидт, Н.А. Кожевникова, Н.В. Корниенко, М.А. Селеменева, Н.Д. Арутюнова және т.б. ғалымдардың еңбектері негізге алынған. Сондай-ақ, әдеби шығарманың көркемдік әлеміндегі қалалық мәтін мен қалалық дискурс ұғымдарының арақатынасы мәселесі де айқындалған. Себебі урбанистік дискурста дүниеге келіп, соның нәтижесі болып табылатын қала мәтіні онымен құрылымында көрінетін сабақтас байланыста болады деп айқындалған. Зерттеу нәтижесінде алынған тұжырымдарды жоғары оқу орындарында әдебиет теориясы мен поэтикасы сияқты теориялық курстарды оқытуда, арнаулы курстар мен семинарларда, қазіргі әдебиеттанудағы жаңа бағыттардың қалыптасуын зерттеуде пайдалануға болады. Кілт сөздер: қалалық мәтін, дискурс, урбанистика, қала, қалалық мәтін компоненттері.

La inclusión de personas no-cisheterosexuales en los ámbitos universitarios: una revisión documental
Authors: Hernández González Guillermo , Cruz Escorza Marlene Samara , Alarcón Schurmann Emilio
Published: July 2023

Se presenta resultados de una revisión documental sobre los trabajos investigativos en torno la inclusión de personas no-cisheterosexuales en los espacios universitarios. Se analizan los artículos de investigación en español sobre universidad y no-cisheterosexualidad publicados entre 2015- 2022 en bases de datos de acceso universal. Se identificaron 29 documentos, la mayoría refieren investigaciones realizadas en México, que centran sus esfuerzos en la medición de homofobia. Se encuentra como obstáculo la presencia de prejuicios y estigmas, además el reto central de los ámbitos universitarios es transformar la vida cotidiana de estudiantes no-cisheterosexuales más allá de los cambios legislativos. Se concluye que existe poca investigación sobre el tema, y sus resultados son poco alentadores para la experiencia concreta de estudiantes universitarios, requiriendo esfuerzos de los diferentes actores universitarios, por lo que se muestra la necesidad de mayor investigar e intervención sobre esta realidad.

Insecurity poses colossal peril in carrying out meaningful sustainability. And education that embraces security concepts, skills and knowledge is one of the veritable tools in curbing insecurity. This type of education could be most effective if it draws its learners from adult, as adults are the pillar behind any meaningful peace, security and sustainable development in any community. It is on this note that the paper examined security education in adult education curriculum for sustainable development. The population of the study was four hundred and sixty-five (465) facilitators of Adult Basic Education Programme in three out of the six education zones in Enugu State. Purposive sample was used to select 242 (129 males and 113 females) adult education facilitators who participated at NMEC (National Commission for Mass Literacy, adult and Non-Formal Education) organized capacity building programme for Nsukka education zone. Instrument for data collection was adult educators’ perception questionnaire titled” Adult educators’ Perception on Integrating Security education in Adult Education Curriculum for Sustainable Development (SEAECSD)” The instrument was validated and has a reliability coefficient of 0.86 determined through Cronbach alpha. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation in answering the two research questions posed to guide the study and a t- test statistic was used to test the null hypothesis. The findings revealed that adult education facilitators have a positive perception on integrating security education in adult education curriculum for sustainable development. It was recommended among others that relevant authorities in adult education programme and adult curriculum planning should endeavor to integrate security education in adult education curriculum for sustainable develop as no society can develop in a state of heighten insecurity.
