Geloina expansa is an infaunal filter-feeding clam species found in mangrove forest. They are important for humans and aquatic ecosystem. Not much information about morphological measurement, abundance and sediment grain size at Pulau Sutung and Pulau Busung. This study aims to determine the shell size measurements, the abundance and the composition of sediment grain size in these sites. Line transects were used for samples and sediment collection in a plot at Pulau Sutung and Pulau Busung. Twenty samples from each site were measured. The grain size and total carbon percentage were obtained using sieve shaker and ignition method. Independent t-test was conducted using SPSS for abundance density and measurements between two sites.  155 specimens (Pulau Sutung = 90; Pulau Busung = 65) were collected. However, abundance density between the two sites were insignificant. The most dominant grain size in Pulau Sutung is C500 whereas VC1000 is dominant in Pulau Busung. Mean shell length (= 55.35mm ± 6.39) and height (= 52.51mm ± 6.14) in Pulau Busung were greater than in Pulau Sutung (= 53.21mm ± 6.39; = 51.10mm ± 6.49), respectively. But mean shell width in Pulau Sutung, (= 31.30 mm ± 3.20) is greater than in Pulau Busung (= 31.19mm ± 4.05) but measurements were insignificantly different between the sites. This result will be useful to establish a baseline of data and also for the management and sustainability of the species. Future studies must be done by considering water parameter and collecting more samples from more site in Setiu Wetlands.

Явище спадкового авторитаризму в сучасних політичних системах: історико-політичний аспект
Authors: Цапко О.М.
Published: May 2024

Стаття присвячена розкриттю сутності, змісту та варіантам практичної реалізації явища спадкового авторитаризму в політичній практиці сучасних країн з авторитарною формою правління. Актуальність зазначеної теми пояснюється нинішніми кардинальними геополітичними змінами, які пов’язані з посиленням впливу країн з недемократичною формою державного управління на сучасну світову політику. Автор статті зокрема зазначає, що за своєю сутністю спадковий авторитаризм виходить з самої природи авторитарних політичних режимів і є результатом їхньої трансформації. В даному випадку в розумінні спадкового авторитаризму, ключовою виступає категорія передавання у спадок персоніфікованої політичної влади від авторитарного правителя своєму наступнику.
У статті також доводиться, що спадковий авторитаризм, не є еволюційною формою розвитку держави, оскільки він не забезпечує якісну спадкоємність влади. Однак, при цьому, спадковий авторитаризм ми не можемо й вважати спонтанним етапом розвитку держави, оскільки він є логічним наслідком суспільно-політичних процесів, які відбуваються в країні, коли політична система потребує змін, однак ці зміни відбуваються під впливом політичної еліти, а не суспільства.
В умовах сучасних політичних систем, спадковий авторитаризм був реалізований в Сирії, Азербайджані, Туркменістані. Так виникнення спадкового авторитаризму у Сирії пояснюється необхідністю збереження в цій країні складної владної конструкції, що поєднувала в собі міжобщинні, кланові та сімейні відносин на основі міжособистісних взаємних зобов’язаннях. В умовах Азербайджану спадковий авторитаризм існує, у формі у «спадкової республіки», основу якій заклав перший президент країни Г. Алієв. Щодо спадкового авторитаризму в Туркменістані, то його особливістю є та, що в країні була сформована двовладна система державного управління. 
Окрім вищезазначених країн, тенденція спадкового авторитаризму також прослідковується у політичній практиці цілої низки країн пострадянського простору, зокрема в Казахстані, Узбекистані, Таджикистані, Білорусі.
На завершення, автор статті, зважаючи на те, що спадковий авторитаризм є новим поняттям в сучасній науці, накреслив напрями його подальшого вивчення та осмислення.
Twitter, Politics, and the Pandemic
Authors: Casteltrione Isidoropaolo
Published: May 2024

This article examines the intersection of politics, government, and health communication in the Scottish Twittersphere during the Covid-19 outbreak. It captures two phases of the pandemic: the beginning of the health crisis, and the rollout of the vaccination programme, coinciding with the emergence of the Delta variant in Scotland. A combination of thematic, quantitative content and social network analyses is employed to identify key themes emerging from the tweets of selected government and politicians' accounts, and to explore the formation of social networks communities. The thematic analysis reveals that Twitter has primarily been used for disseminating information about the virus, preventative measures, and government interventions, with limited efforts towards public engagement. Twitter communications became increasingly partisan as the pandemic progressed, with users frequently using the crisis as a political proxy. Five major clusters were detected in the Twitter network: two highly partisan and polarised clusters; a group containing numerous news media accounts reporting on the pandemic, and two clusters focusing primarily on the vaccination programme and the provision of health information, where the First Minister and the Scottish Government operate. Implications of these findings for government and political communication in health crises are discussed.

Published: May 2024

Drowsiness detection is a solution for identifying signs of fatigue or sleepiness in individuals. One of the key features of our model is that it can detect drowsiness at night as well using Mobile cameras (infrared sensors). The system captures infrared images of the person's face and analyzes the physiological and behavioral cues related to drowsiness. Infrared sensors allow for drowsiness detection in low-light conditions, making it particularly useful for night-time scenarios such as night driving. The system can trigger alerts or interventions if drowsiness is detected, helping to prevent accidents or mistakes. We will be using libraries like OpenCV, TensorFlow, CNN, and VGG19 features in our model. By combining the accessibility of Android devices with the advanced capabilities of the Deep Learning algorithm, drowsiness detection using infrared sensors has the potential to greatly improve the safety and productivity of individuals in their daily lives.

Authors: Namwanje Josephine , Yahaya Kisu , Nimusima Pereez , Rwambale Kahdiri
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Commercial banks have over time had procurement performance challenges owing from the poor procurement planning as reported in different procurement management literature. This study was carried out to examine the relationship between procurement planning and procurement performance of Centenary Bank Mapeera (CBM).
Materials and Methods: Cross sectional survey research design was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from centenary bank team leaders, tender committee members, procurement officers, legal officers, procurement and disposal unit staff, credit officers, branch management officers and from prequalified suppliers and provider’s FY 2022/23. From a total population of 190 employees, a sample size of 129 was determined using Slovin’s (1965) formula. Specific random and none random sampling techniques were used to select respondents. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guide and was analyzed using correlation and thematic analysis techniques.
Findings: The findings displayed in the correlation analysis results for CBM (r = 0.653, p<.01) show a significant positive relationship between the predictor variable and the outcome variable. Specifically, budgeting and procurement performance at CBM were positive and significant (r =0.532, p<.01); needs assessment and procurement performance were significant and positive (r =0.484, p<.01); however, for contract administration and procurement performance the relationship was positive but none significant (r =0.613, p>.05).  The likely explanation here could have been the fact that entities are geared towards cost reduction at the cost of quality improvement which would be possible through procurement planning.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: From this study it is envisaged that commercial banks which institute systematic procurement planning systems would realize improvement in procurement performance.

The aim of the study was to formulate Moringa oleifera leaf extract into silver nanoparticles using green synthesis method and evaluating their antihypertensive activity. The traditional plant Moringa oleifera is an integral part of the Indian diet and has various beneficial effects in its leaves, stems, flowers, seeds, roots and bark. It has been reported for various properties including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antihypertensive antioxidative, anti tumorogenic and also many other properties. In the present study, initially leaves of Moringa oleifera was extracted with ethanol using Soxhlet apparatus then it has been formulated as a silver nanoparticle using silver nitrate by green synthesis method. The synthesized nanoparticle was evaluated using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and Zeta sizer. The results show the incorporation of the silver ions in the extract and also the reduction of particle size in nano range. The invitro antihypertensive activity was carried out using Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor assay for the standard drug and the formulated silver nanoparticle and found that the percentage inhibition of silver nanoparticle complies with the percentage inhibition of standard drug. It is seen that the silver nanoparticles have good hypertensive inhibition. Hence silver nanoparticles of Moringa oleifera leaf extract can be used as a potential alternative to traditional synthetic drugs by using this non-toxic safe way of green synthesis.

Authors: Odeigah Theresa Nfam
Published: May 2024

The nineteenth century Christian missionary activities in Cross River State as in other parts of Nigeria were mainly targeted at evangelisation of the people. Christianity has become the dominant religion in Cross River State and the people believe that it is a religion of civilisation and development. The resultant effect of different positions of some scholars is that colonialism has become a stigma for Christianity in contemporary times. To this extent, missionary work in Africa will continue to attract stringent and critical historical examination. It will however be intellectual dishonesty to write off the positive results of missionary work in Cross River State. This paper therefore, examines the contributions of missionary work in empowering the people of Cross River State from 1885 to 1960. The research adopted historic-structural approaches using primary and secondary sources. This includes qualitative interviews and books and journals. The findings of this research show that modern medical practise, theological education as well as education generally, skills acquisition, poverty alleviation and attention to the vulnerable such as children, orphans, widows, the sick and the elderly, through appropriate influence on negative traditions are some of the areas where missionary work has impacted positively on the people. It concludes that the Christian Missions contributed tremendously to the economic empowerment and enlightenment of the people of Cross River State of Nigeria.
The Rewards of Hospitality: A Case Study of Gen 18:1-16a
Authors: Salakpi Alexander
Published: May 2024

Hospitality is a value ingrained in all human beings. Ghanaians love to practice hospitality and it is common to hear foreigners mention “Ghanaian Hospitality.” Unfortunately, this valuable gift seems to elude contemporary Ghanaians. The practice of hospitality has been taken advantage of by armed robbery, pretenders, and lazy people, so that a hospitable person becomes a victim of their attack. Instead of the rewards of hospitality, cheerful heart, smiles, joy, that perpetuates healthy life, sadness, grief, sorrow, sickness and sometimes death have become the result. Consequently, Ghanaians have become afraid and reluctant to practice this virtue. Engaging traditional Ewe wisdom with Gen 18:1-16a, the paper seeks to explore through exegetical and intercultural study the value of hospitality within the Ewe and the Hebrew cultures to propose a re-conversion towards ‘hospitality’ for contemporary Ghanaian Christians.
Delineating the Biomarker Potential and Therapeutic Significance of MicroRNAs in IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma as Defined by the WHO CNS5 Criteria
Authors: Billur Deryanaz , Timirci Kahraman Özlem
Published: May 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) CNS5 classification, updated in 2021, has brought about a significant transformation in the diagnosis and treatment of IDH-wildtype glioblastoma, a subgroup of aggressive brain tumors. This new system, which incorporates molecular markers alongside traditional tissue analysis, provides a more refined approach that facilitates the identification of distinct glioblastoma subtypes with unique genetic profiles. Examples of these subtypes include IDH-mutant astrocytoma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-deleted oligodendroglioma, and IDH-wildtype glioblastoma. Despite advancements in genetics and targeted therapies, the treatment of these malignant tumors remains an ongoing quest. Therefore, the need for more specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is undeniable. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as molecules that molecular biology has brought to the medical world in this context. These tiny molecules act as master regulators of gene expression and hold immense potential for glioblastoma diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and biomarker development. Recent research has highlighted the potential of miRNAs as therapeutic strategies, attracting scientific interest to this point. This review examines the current relationships of miRNAs in the context of IDH-wildtype glioblastoma within the framework of the WHO CNS5 classification. Utilizing extensive databases, this article investigates the intricate relationship between genetic abnormalities defined in the latest WHO classification and dysregulated miRNAs. By analyzing proposed molecular biomarkers and associated miRNA dysregulation, we aim to pave the way for the development of personalized miRNA-based therapies for this aggressive cancer type.

Therefore, the arrangement of smarter and more money saving healthcare services are becoming highly required. Security and privacy, device communication, and data collection and management are some of the challenges that face the IoT technology especially when used with hospital’s data. Accordingly, a proposed reference model for making SMART hospital management system is under construction in order to achieve the best performance. The model is taking into consideration both the functional and non-functional requirements of the different participants involved in the hospital management system

The fashion industry is highly competitive and ever-evolving to align with shifting customer trends, posing challenges for marketers. The widespread adoption of social media among customers has intensified this competition, offering new possibilities for marketers but also enhancing customer knowledge and influence. This study explores the impact of social media marketing on customer engagement in a Sri Lankan apparel brand. The data was obtained through an online questionnaire distributed randomly to customers of specific apparel brand following its social media sites. The statistical results indicated positive and significant correlations between Perceived Value, Percieved Quality, Service Quality, Surveillance, and Customer Engagement. The findings highlighted that social media marketing activities significantly increase customer engagement. Social media posts and activities have the potential to extend beyond immediate followers and influence sales suggesting the potential for increased sales through a broader reach. Therefore, companies should focus on maintaining the social media context and ensuring the quality of services, values, and trust of customers through social network sites. The findings of this study can be used in planning business strategies, marketing, and development plans in order of priority by following their resources, promoting customer engagement, and building and nurturing relationships with customers.
Reimagining Philosophy: The Relevance of “Love of Wisdom” for Senior High School Students at Tanauan City Integrated High School in Contemporary 21st Century
Authors: Casquejo Ismael C.
Published: May 2024

“Philosophy” comes from the Greek words Philo and Sophia meaning “love of wisdom.” Philosophy uses the tools of logic and reason to analyze how humans experience the world(Metcalf, 2020). It is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and each other. Philosophy takes on existential questions (Marschall, 2023). One relevant question for everyone is the meaning of life. Although the meaning of life can be different for different people, it is nonetheless given attention to the subject. In this present time where people have easy access to almost everything and information can easily be falsified by social media, truth must still prevail. This should be emphasized in schools for students. Philosophy is useful in this regard because it utilizes logic and reasoning to develop critical thinkers (Bushman, 2022). As the subject demands profound intellectual activity to arrive at the truth, it might be unappealing to students. But this very method can help students learn to write clearly, read closely with a critical eye, and spot poor reasoning which is a crucial skill in the present times. Accordingly, the result of the research indicated that critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication are 21st-century learning skills that can be applied to inculcate the relevance of Philosophy in contemporary times.
Análise Bibliométrica e Cientométrica de Pesquisas Sobre Qualidade das Águas da Sub-bacia do Rio Uberabinha

A bacia do rio Uberabinha está localizada na mesorregião do Triângulo Mineiro (Minas Gerais, Brasil) e representa uma fonte fundamental para abastecimento de água para a cidade de Uberlândia, a segunda cidade mais populosa do Estado. Apesar do seu importante papel no desenvolvimento humano e nas atividades econômicas, o rio Uberabinha está impactado negativamente. O presente artigo teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento bibliométrico e cientométrico a respeito dos impactos hídricos e efeitos biológicos decorrentes da poluição no rio Uberabinha. O levantamento bibliométrico foi realizado utilizando as plataformas Google Acadêmico e Web of Science, pesquisando pelas palavras-chave “rio Uberabinha”, “poluição” e “qualidade da água”. Foram identificados 46 manuscritos, sendo a maioria na base de dados do Google Acadêmico, sendo que cerca de 45% deles foram publicados como artigos, e a outra parte como literatura cinza, como monografias, dissertações e teses. A instituição com maior número de publicações foi a Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU), associada principalmente aos cursos de Biologia, Geografia e Química. Muitas análises da qualidade da água do rio Uberabinha foram baseadas apenas em critérios físico-químicos e, como resultado, a maioria das publicações não observa os potenciais efeitos ecotoxicológicos na biota. Portanto, considerando o cenário de mudanças climáticas e o aumento do uso de água em toda a bacia hidrográfica, mais pesquisas devem ser realizadas abordando os impactos na fauna e na flora dependentes deste ecossistema.
Before Busing
Authors: Miletsky Zebulon Vance
Published: May 2024

In many histories of Boston, African Americans have remained almost invisible. Partly as a result, when the 1972 crisis over school desegregation and busing erupted, many observers professed shock at the overt racism on display in the "cradle of liberty." Yet the city has long been divided over matters of race, and it was also home to a far older Black organizing tradition than many realize. A community of Black activists had fought segregated education since the origins of public schooling and racial inequality since the end of northern slavery. Before Busing tells the story of the men and women who struggled and demonstrated to make school desegregation a reality in Boston. It reveals the legal efforts and battles over tactics that played out locally and influenced the national Black freedom struggle. And the book gives credit to the Black organizers, parents, and children who fought long and hard battles for justice that have been left out of the standard narratives of the civil rights movement. What emerges is a clear picture of the long and hard-fought campaigns to break the back of Jim Crow education in the North and make Boston into a better, more democratic city—a fight that continues to this day.
Introduction
Authors: Miletsky Zebulon Vance
Published: May 2024

The Introduction of the book explains the rationale for looking at the early history leading up to the Boston school desegregation crisis. It offers a new way of contextualizing this moment in which the violence that accompanied busing was seen as coming “out of the blue.” Before Busing offers a new history of Boston, one that undermines the myth of Boston as a city devoid of racial tensions by revealing the ways in which Black self-assertion and white supremacy have long coexisted as major drivers of economic, social, and political life throughout the city’s history. Central to the mission of Before Busing is an effort to respond to J. Anthony Lukas’s influential, but flawed, Common Ground, by shifting the focus away from white reaction back toward African American agency and activism, which was largely overlooked. From this launching point, the Introduction outlines the intellectual architecture of the book and situates it within the broader historiography, underscoring the major scholarly interventions the text makes.
Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud, 1967–1970
Authors: Miletsky Zebulon Vance
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines race relations and growing racial polarization in Boston during the tumultuous Black Power era, interrogating the idea of “Boston Exceptionalism,” the claim that Boston did not suffer from the same racial problems as other northern cities during the late-1960s. A critically acclaimed documentary, “The Night James Brown Saved Boston,” offered a good example of this rosy narrative. The film juxtaposes images of widespread urban rebellion in the wake of Dr. King’s assassination on April 4, 1968, with the riot-that-wasn’t in Boston. On April 5th the night after King’s death, James Brown was scheduled to perform at the old Boston Garden, a show that the local authorities considered cancelling out of concern that the large African American crowd might riot. Instead, city officials decided to televise the concert, with the goal of keeping African Americans in their homes, giving the mayor a public platform to present a message of peace and unity. In fact, the previous year, three days of rioting, violence and property destruction followed a sit-in demonstration by the Mothers for Adequate Welfare (MAW). In many ways, these simmering tensions set the stage for the racial crisis to come over busing during the early-1970s.

Give Us Liberty, or We Will Tear the Place Apart!
Authors: Shull Kristina

This chapter further establishes the book’s central argument that immigration detention operates as a form of counterinsurgency by analyzing a series of case studies of acts of resistance led by detained Haitian and Central American asylum-seekers and Central American peace and Sanctuary movement activists, and forms of US government retaliation. It recounts a series of hunger strikes, acts of coordinated unrest, and mobilization of Haitian testimonies through inside-outside organizing at the Krome detention center in Miami and at Fort Allen, Puerto Rico. It also details the origins, growth, and activities of the transnational 1980s Sanctuary movement which effectively shielded Salvadoran and Guatemalan asylum-seekers from detention and deportation, including internal tensions over organizing tactics and the movement’s use of media and public relations to denounce US Central American foreign policy. The second half of the chapter details how the Reagan administration responded to resistance inside and outside of detention with retaliation that amounted to a “total war” against immigrants in detention and allies on the outside. Forms of retaliation included physical abuse, solitary confinement, transfers, and deportation of people in detention, and use of covert tactics to surveil, intimidate, harass, and prosecute Sanctuary movement activists.
