This study examined Nigeria and China Bilateral Currency Swap: Economic Implications and Prospects. Survey design was used to determine the impact of Nigeria – China economic ties on Nigerian imbalance of payment, foreign reserve, consumption of local products and job creation among others. The responses from the audience reveal that Nigeria and China Bilateral Currency Swap agreement will encourage job creation and importation activities in the country. While more than 50% of the respondents echoed that this agreement will increase imbalance of payment, reduction in foreign reserve and less consumption of domestic products. The study concludes that this agreement will cause future development of trade between the two countries and improve liquidity. In order to enhance employment opportunity in the country, the local engineer should be trained and employed to collaborate with Chinese. The economic cord will make accessibility of fund easier. Therefore, importers, exporters and other type of business ventures are expected to use the opportunity and boost their operations. Government and business managers should make use of the available fund and diversify in other sectors like agriculture, establishment of local industries and focus on the products for exportation. The study recommends the implementation of suitable policy on importation, to avoid the idea that Nigeria will become a dumping ground for Chinese products.

The paper is aimed at discussing the coming technological trends in smart energy monitoring and tracking and to suggest any possible improvements in the same. The paper showcases an economical Rasberry Pi based model for smart energy metering and automatic data logging. The system under study uses a PQ analyzer for data monitoring, DHT22, pyranometer sensors for data acquisition. The various communication protocols for data transfer like Modbus, I2C, RS485 are studied with regard to the system. The sample size of data is from a 5kW, 302.2 V solar panel system. A three-phase solar inverter provides the electrical power output. A Meco solar analyzer present at University lab has been used to log electrical data. A major drawback of the same is its inability to measure data while the panels are connected to a load. Thus, a smart energy meter that constantly monitors electrical data as well as ambient environmental conditions has been implemented with the help of raspberry pi. Data such as irradiance, temperature, voltage and current are taken. Data is automatically logged into a SQL database. The aim of this paper is to study the current technological trends and propose possible areas of improvement in the current technology.

Published: April 2020

Ethiopian Universities are fully dependent on government’s budget and procurement budget comes from tax payers. However, there is misappropriation of procurement budgets. Recently, procurement budget deficit has been observed in Public Universities of Ethiopia and 10 to 100 million Ethiopian birr have been wasted through non-transparent procurement systems. Employees also have been complaining about the quality of goods and services in every meetings held. Delays, poor qualified products and services, over pricing compared to the actual market price are the basic problems observed in procurement functions. Hence, this study aimed at identification of the basic factors that affect the proper functioning of public procurement practice in Public Universities. Analysis was made based on 351 selected respondents from 9 of the public Universities. Those employees who have direct relationship with public procurement were selected from top, middle and lower levels. Specifically, procurement workers, procurement and audit committee and internal auditors were participated. Multiple regression was employed and data was run by SPSS version 20. Tables were used for ease of interpretation. The regression results revealed that, public procurement policy, legal environment, organizational structure, employee ethics, ICT and management of suppliers have positive significant effect on the effective functioning of public procurement practice. However, budgetary allocation has insignificant and negative effect on the effective functioning of public procurement practice. Amending existing procurement guideline, open discussion with the nearby suppliers, continual ethics training for procurement workers and installing ICT platforms were found to be the possible recommendations.

Digital era generates a huge amount of data in many sectors like education, medical, banking, business, marketing, etc. which can be used for research motive, analysis, prediction of trends, statistics, etc. Data mining techniques are useful in finding patterns, trends, and knowledge from such huge data. The data holders are not ready to share data because there are chances of privacy leakage. Sharing of such data immensely helps researchers to obtain knowledge from it, especially medical data. Privacy preserving data mining is one way where researchers will get mine data for gaining knowledge without breaching the privacy. In the medical sector there is a branch called the mental health section, where high confidentiality of data is maintained and is needed. Owners are not ready to share data for research motives. Mental health is nowadays a topic that is most frequently discussed when it comes to research. PPDM allows sharing data with the researcher, where the privacy of data is maintained by using perturbation techniques giving relief to doctors (owner of data). The current paper experiments and analyses different perturbation methods to preserve privacy in data mining

Buildings constructions over expansive soils are exposed to many problems and cracks. The most damaging issues occur due to differential heave displacements, which cause excessive deformations to the overlying structure up to and beyond its serviceability limit state and, in the worst cases, its ultimate limit state. A site investigation is performed for the study area at Tabuk University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The geotechnical soil properties and swelling characteristics were determined. Visual observations of samples obtained from drilled boreholes at study area revealed reddish brown to grey thinly laminated weathered shale followed by shale formation, the subsurface formation is classified (CH) according to USCS. The research study is aimed at measuring the contact pressure at field and studying the efficiency of concrete pile anchor foundation (CPAF) system in reducing heave of footings constructed on expansive soil. In the field, two full scales reinforced concrete footings with and without concrete anchor piles were constructed on top of the expansive shale. After construction of field prototypes, the test area is wetted for 64 days. Monitoring of the footing movement indicated that the footing upward movement using CPAF system caused a 62% less than the footing constructed directly on expansive shale.

Drug reviews are commonly used in pharmaceutical industry to improve the medications given to patients. Generally, drug review contains details of drug name, usage, ratings and comments by the patients. However, these reviews are not clean, and there is a need to improve the cleanness of the review so that they can be benefited for both pharmacists and patients. To do this, we propose a new approach that includes different steps. First, we add extra parameters in the review data by applying VADER sentimental analysis to clean the review data. Then, we apply different machine learning algorithms, namely linear SVC, logistic regression, SVM, random forest, and Naive Bayes on the drug review specify dataset names. However, we found that the accuracy of these algorithms for these datasets is limited. To improve this, we apply stratified K-fold algorithm in combination with Logistic regression. With this approach, the accuracy is increased to 96%.

INTERNETWORKING OF SOLAR ENERGY USING ARDUINO BASED TRACKING SYSTEM
Authors: Ms. Aparajita Gogoi
Published: April 2020

Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have been using different energy sources in order to fulfil their various requirements. Energy is one of the human civilization’s basic requirements for development. For example – electricity powers our household appliances like TV, air-conditioners, phones , washing machines etc. We also use energy to run vehicles like cars, buses and trains and it is used to run most industries and factories. Most of these energy sources are non-renewable in nature, and might get depleted soon, such as the Oil and coal. This creates a requirement for renewable energy resources which has cheap costs. Solar energy is considered as one of the main energy resources in warm countries. Also solar energy is a clean, easily accessible and abundantly available alternative energy source in nature and has been used traditionally since ages in the absence of energy sources. Hence we require a system which will be able to efficiently utilize solar energy such as solar panels but these have some drawbacks as they don’t rotate with the movement of the sun, hence the need arises for that of a solar tracker.

Authors: Dwilewicz Barbara
Published: April 2020

W niniejszym artykule dokonano analizy tekstów traktujących o sytuacji języka polskiego na Łotwie, zamieszczanych na łamach tygodnika „Nasze Życie”, który ukazywał się w Rydze w latach 1934–1940. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że redakcja „Naszego Życia” dużą wagę przywiązywała do poprawności językowej wydawanego pisma. Świadczą o tym liczne artykuły eksponujące rolę polskiego języka literackiego w zachowaniu tożsamości narodowej. Sporo miejsca poświęcano poprawności językowej oraz terytorialnym odmianom języka, a zwłaszcza gwarze używanej przez Polaków łotewskich. Na łamach gazety zamieszczano również listy czytelników, w których autorzy zazwyczaj ustosunkowywali się do konkretnych artykułów publikowanych w tygodniku. Propagowaniu poprawnej polszczyzny służyły niewątpliwie teksty literackie, a zwłaszcza utwory literatury współczesnej, zamieszczane w tygodniku.
Anna Kaupuż i jej tajemnicza korespondencja z Aleksandrem Sołżenicynem
Authors: Baranow Andrzej
Published: April 2020

Anna Kaupuż (1924–1994), zapomniana polonistka, przez całe życie związana była z Wileńskim Uniwersytetem Pedagogicznym. Dorobek badaczki, prace literaturoznawcze i lingwistyczne, organicznie wpisuje się do filologii współczesnej. Kontekst uniwersalny jej badań (Adam Mickiewicz, Baudouin de Courtenay) był ściśle połączony z wymiarem lokalnym (działalność profesora Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego Iwana Łobojki, specyfika języka polskiego na Litwie), dlatego jej studia porównawcze można rozpatrywać w kategoriach komparatystyki dyskursywnej i kulturowej. Szczególnie warta uwagi okazuje się korespondencja Kaupuż z rosyjskim pisarzem Aleksandrem Sołżenicynem, którego listy (w j. rosyjskim i tłumaczeniu na j. polski) prezentowane są w niniejszym artykule.

Optimization of the blanching of potato (Solanum tuberosum L) slices by response surface methodology: Effect on the vitamin C content and drying kinetics
Authors: Ambe Desmond  , Lobe Elias  , Divine B. Nde
Published: April 2020

Potatoes (S. tuberosum L) is one of the most important tuber crops in the world. However, its high moisture content and inadequate storage and processing techniques have a negative influence on its quality and availability throughout the year. This work was carried out to optimize the blanching behavior and drying kinetics of potato slices. Fresh potato slices (5, 10 and 15 mm) were blanched at 70, 80 and 90°C for 1, 3 and 5 min following a 3k level full factorial design. The loss in Vitamin C was used as a quality marker for the optimization process. The influence of blanching on the drying behavior of potato slices was carried out at 50, 60 and 70°C. Results showed that blanching parameters had a significant (P < 0.05) effect on vitamin C loss. Optimum blanching conditions were blanching temperature of 80oC, blanching time of 3 min and a slice thickness of 10 mm which gave an average loss in Vitamin C of about 2.6%. Drying data were successfully fitted to three different thin layer drying models. The use of blanching as a pretreatment before the drying of potato is recommended because it reduces the drying time by 30%.

Published: April 2020

Removal of reactive dyes from wastewater is a great environmental concern. Attempts were made to study the performance of a coupling process of coagulation-flocculation (CF) and photochemical oxidation (PCO) for the removal of two reactive dyes (Reactive Black 5 (RB 5) and Reactive Orange 12 (RO 12)) from aqueous solution. The CF experiments were conducted using alum as coagulant and polyacrylamide as coagulant aid whereas the PCO tests were carried out using H2O2 in the presence of UV light irradiation. Effects of various process parameters such as pH, coagulant dose and coagulant aid dose on the CF process, and H2O2 dose and UV exposure time on the PCO method have been studied. The study reveals that only the CF process is not sufficient to treat the dye solution. The CF step could remove 52.30% and 41.38% of RB 5 and RO 12, respectively. At the best conditions of process parameters, the combined CF-PCO method results in color removals of 87.10% and 82.53% for RB 5 and RO 12, respectively. The combined process of CF and UV/H2O2 may be a useful treatment technique for wastewater contaminated with reactive dyes.
Strategic Philosophy and Competitive Advantage: Conceptual Understanding and Application in Public Sector Organisations
Authors: Minja David
Published: April 2020

All organizations deal with strategy, but organizations operate under different conditions, affecting their understanding of how to do strategy. The study aims at providing an argument on how managers in public sector institutions apply the practice of strategic philosophy in their quest for effective practice of strategic management. Strategy is vital for a competitiveness, effective and efficient public service delivery and for successful leadership. Strategic philosophy refers to a set of beliefs, personal views or rules concerning the nature of organizational strategy. Managers apply these beliefs, values and rules to help make strategic decisions that provide direction, cohesion, mission and motivation to pursue organization’s strategic goals. The bureaucratic nature of public sector causes it to function according to unique set of principles, norms and rules. These rules and principles are influenced by the political nature of the institutions with little autonomy and /or discretion to decide on priorities, set own goals and deal with challenges and problems in order to exploit any emerging opportunities. This article used systematic literature review to identify studies that discussed the concepts of strategic philosophy and competitive advantage. Two focus groups discussions were also held with managers from public sector and civil society organizations. Since previous studies have been treating these concepts separately, articles dealing with each aspect of the study were reviewed and analysed to establish if any relationship exists between the two concepts. The study found out that the position occupied by a manager in the organization, skills and experience determine how he/she conceptualises the whole process of strategic planning. Senior managers believe that their role involves crafting the mission, vision, values, strategic goals and providing direction of the enterprise. They also determine the strategies that are likely to create superior performance.

The Bundle of Simultaneously Diagonalizable N-tuples of Matrices
Authors: Garcia-Planas M. I.
Published: April 2020

In this paper, a review of the simultaneous diagonalization of n-tuples of matrices for its applications in sciences is presented. For example, in quantum mechanics, position and momentum operators do not have a shared base that can represent the states of the system because they not commute, which is why switching operators form a key element of quantum physics since they define quantities that are compatible, that is, defined simultaneously. We are going to study this kind of family of linear operators using geometric constructions such as the principal bundles and associating them with a cohomology class measuring the deviation of the local product structure from the global product structure.

New Wars and Their Visual Representation: Dead Bodies without Graves/Mourne
Authors: Şur Tuncay , Yarar Betül
Published: April 2020

This paper seeks to understand why there has been an increase in photographic images exposing military violence or displaying bodies killed by military forces and how they can freely circulate in the public without being censored or kept hidden. In other words, it aims to analyze this particular issue as a symptom of the emergence of new wars and a new regime of their visual representation. Within this framework, it attempts to relate two kinds of literature that are namely the history of war and war photography with the bridge of theoretical discussions on the real, its photographic representation, power, and violence.  Rather than systematic empirical analysis, the paper is based on a theoretical attempt which is reflected on some socio-political observations in the Middle East where there has been ongoing wars or new wars. The core discussion of the paper is supported by a brief analysis of some illustrative photographic images that are served through the social media under the circumstances of war for instance in Turkey between Turkish military troops and the Kurdish militants. The paper concludes that in line with the process of dissolution/transformation of the old nation-state formations and globalization, the mechanism and mode of power have also transformed to the extent that it resulted in the emergence of new wars. This is one dynamic that we need to recognize in relation to the above-mentioned question, the other is the impact of social media in not only delivering but also receiving war photographies. Today these changes have led the emergence of new machinery of power in which the old modern visual/photographic techniques of representing wars without human beings, torture, and violence through censorship began to be employed alongside medieval power techniques of a visual exhibition of tortures and violence.

Томат довольно капризная культура, для его успешного выращивания необходимо определенное сочетание тепла и влажности, при этом требования к температурному режиму на разных этапах развития томатных кустов отличаются: прорастание семян томатов происходит при t° +20-25° C. Предотвратит вытягивание всходов, позволив им сформировать крепкую корневую систему, снижение t° до +12-15° C днем и +6-10° C ночью сроком на 1 неделю. Хорошее развитие кустам обеспечит поддержание температурного режима в дневное время на уровне t° +20-26° C и в ночное - t° +16-18° C.

One of the main tasks of tomato growing technology is the organization of effective mineral nutrition and highly efficient use of the lighting system. The success of tomato cultivation is due to many factors, and the temperature regime is one of the most important for their proper development. Tomato is a rather capricious culture, for its successful cultivation a certain combination of heat and humidity is necessary, and the temperature requirements at different stages of development of tomato bushes are different: germination of tomato seeds occurs at t ° + 20-25 ° C. Prevents sprouting, allowing them to form a strong root system, decrease in t ° to + 12-15 ° C during the day and + 6-10 ° C at night for a period of 1 week. Good development of the bushes will ensure the maintenance of temperature in the daytime at t ° + 20-26 ° C and at night - t ° + 16-18 ° C.

Structural optical and electrical properties of a transparent conductive ITO/Al–Ag/ITO multilayer contact
Authors: Isiyaku Aliyu Kabiru , Ali Ahmad Hadi , Nayan Nafarizal
Published: April 2020

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a widely used material for transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films due to its good optical and electrical properties. Improving the optoelectronic properties of ITO films with reduced thickness is crucial and quite challenging. ITO-based multilayer films with an aluminium–silver (Al–Ag) interlayer (ITO/Al–Ag/ITO) and a pure ITO layer (as reference) were prepared by RF and DC sputtering. The microstructural, optical and electrical properties of the ITO/Al–Ag/ITO (IAAI) films were investigated before and after annealing at 400 °C. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the insertion of the Al–Ag intermediate bilayer led to the crystallization of an Ag interlayer even at the as-deposited stage. Peaks attributed to ITO(222), Ag(111) and Al(200) were observed after annealing, indicating an enhancement in crystallinity of the multilayer films. The annealed IAAI film exhibited a remarkable improvement in optical transmittance (86.1%) with a very low sheet resistance of 2.93 Ω/sq. The carrier concentration increased more than twice when the Al–Ag layer was inserted between the ITO layers. The figure of merit of the IAAI multilayer contact has been found to be high at 76.4 × 10−3 Ω−1 compared to a pure ITO contact (69.4 × 10−3 Ω−1). These highly conductive and transparent ITO films with Al–Ag interlayer can be a promising contact for low-resistance optoelectronics devices.
A method to determine the correct photocatalyst concentration for photooxidation reactions conducted in continuous flow reactors
Authors: Horn Clemens R , Gremetz Sylvain
Published: April 2020

When conducting a photooxidation reaction, the key question is what is the best amount of photocatalyst to be used in the reaction? This work demonstrates a fast and simple method to calculate a reliable concentration of the photocatalyst that will ensure an efficient reaction. The determination is based on shifting the calculation away from the concentration of the compound to be oxidized to utilizing the limitations on the total light dose that can be delivered to the catalyst. These limitations are defined by the photoflow setup, specifically the channel height and the emission peak of the light source. This method was tested and shown to work well for three catalysts with different absorption properties through using LEDs with emission maxima close to the absorption maximum of each catalyst.
