Authors: Saidu Haruna , Lass Ibrahim Nateh , Mahmoud Aishatu Bello , Salau Olanrewaju Abiola , Abdullahi Nafiatu
Published: August 2022

Heavy metal contamination often occurs when there is an abnormal discharge of metal in the environment. This is caused mainly by human activities such as agriculture, mining and industrialization. When this heavy metal gets into the environment, it adversely affects plants, humans and aquatic biodiversity. Conventional treatment methods have been applied extensively, hence these methods are inefficient and expensive to carry out. This study was conducted to assess whether castor plants could be able to absorb heavy metal actively from the soil. Metal ions determined are lead and copper at different concentrations of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 g/dm3. The soil located at Gombe State University Botanical Garden was used for the cultivation of the plant. Acid digestion and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy were used for metal determination. The results of the study showed that Copper and Lead were absorbed the highest in the leaves than in stem and root by the absorption efficiency of 100, 91 and 87% respectively. The plant leaves and roots accumulate high Lead content of 2.661, 2.43, in the root, 1.26, 1.52, and 0.031, 0.3 in the stem for both lead and copper respectively. Results of translocation factor revealed the highest absorption of metal from Root to stem of 1.83, 1.98, and the least was 0.36, 0.34, for copper and lead respectively.

Published: August 2022

Hypertension and kidney impairment are two of the many adult health problems that have been related to lead exposure. Women who are expecting a child are especially susceptible to the dangers of lead since it can have devastating consequences on the developing embryo. Existing techniques for the remediation of lead pollutant include membrane separation, ion exchange, precipitation and biosorption. Of all of this technology, biosorption has several positive aspects which include low operating expenses, very efficient detoxification of toxicants at low concentrations and low amount of disposal materials. The biosorption of the biosorption of lead(II) onto an Antarctic sea-ice bacterial exopolysaccharide is remodeled using nonlinear regression and the optimal mode was determined by a series of error function assessments. Statistical analysis showed that the best kinetic model for adsorption in salt-free water was pseudo-1st order while the best kinetic model for adsorption in seawater was pseudo-2nd order model. All error function analyses also supported these two best models. The kinetic constants values for salt-free water and seawater shows large difference in terms of adsorption in salt-free water and seawater. A higher equilibrium biosorption capacity for lead (II) or qe values were exhibited for both k1 and k2 rate constants in sea water indicating a more efficient adsorption in seawater. Adsorption in seawater increased the qe values from 51.11 (mg/g) (95% confidence interval from 49.75 to 52.44) to 92.98 (mg/g) (95% C.I. from 91.01 to 94.95) In addition, the h value, (mg/g.min) indicates a stronger driving force to accelerate the diffusion of adsorbate from seawater onto the adsorbent. The results suggest fundamental difference of sorption mechanism and functional groups are involved in salt-free and seawater.
Normality, Grubb’s and Runs Tests for the von Bertalanffy model used in the fitting of the growth of Bacillus cereus strain wwcp1 on malachite green dye
Authors: Yahuza Salihu , Sabo Ibrahim Alhaji
Published: August 2022

When diagnostic tests show that the residuals form a pattern, there are a few treatment alternatives to choose from. Two of these choices are running a nonparametric analysis and switching to a different model. In this study, the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test is utilized as a statistical diagnosis approach to determine whether or not the randomization criteria have been met. The Wald-Wolfowitz runs test was chosen as the best method to use for this research since it was necessary to examine the randomness of the residual for the von Bertalanffy model used in the fitting of the growth of Bacillus cereus strain wwcp1 on malachite green dye. The observations indicated that the residual series had an adequate number of runs; this was the outcome. The runs test discovered four runs, despite the fact that the randomization assumption predicted thirteen runs. This implies that the runs in the residual collection are only marginally meaningful. The fact that the p-value was less than 0.05 indicates that the null hypothesis is rejected; this implies that the residuals include convincing evidence of non-randomness. Furthermore, this demonstrates the need of looking at potential outliers. However, the test for the lack of an outlier does not demand reanalysis of the data, as indicated by Grubb's test findings. To resolve this discrepancy, either a different model needs to be used or more data needs to be added.

Filamentous fungi offer an interesting biocontrol alternative. Trichoderma, mycorrhizal, and endophytic fungi are the main filamentous fungi used to induce nematode resistance. They can reduce plant-parasitic nematode damage by producing lytic enzymes, antibiosis, paralysis, and parasitism. They minimize space and resource competition by increasing nutrient and water uptake, or by modifying root morphology and/or rhizosphere interactions, which benefits plant growth. Filamentous fungi can induce nematode resistance by activating hormone-mediated plant-defense mechanisms (salicylic and jasmonic acid, strigolactones). Altering the transport of chemical defense components or the synthesis of secondary metabolites and enzymes can also boost plant defenses. Using filamentous fungi as BCAs against plant-parasitic nematodes is a promising biocontrol strategy in agriculture. By increasing a plant's ability to absorb nutrients and water, or by changing root shape and/or rhizosphere interactions, they reduce competition for space and resources. Filamentous fungi can activate hormone-mediated plant defenses (e.g., strigolactones, salicylic and jasmonic acids). Changing how chemical defense components are transported or synthesizing secondary metabolites and enzymes can improve a plant's defenses. Using filamentous fungi as BCAs in agriculture is a promising, long-lasting biocontrol method against plant-parasitic nematodes.
Test of the Randomness of Residuals and Detection of Potential Outliers for the Buchanan-3-phase Model Used in the Fitting of the Effect of nZVI/Pd and SiO2-nZVI/Pd Nanoparticles on the Growth of P. putida

Published: August 2022

Lots of studies do not perform statistical diagnostics on the nonlinear model that was used, therefore the data may not be random. Because these systems rely on random data, this is a necessity for all parametric statistical assessment procedures. When the diagnostic tests show that the residuals constitute a pattern, there are several options for treatment, including switching to a new model or performing a nonparametric analysis. These treatments, as well as others like them, should solve the issue. We employ the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test as a statistical diagnosis tool to determine whether or not the randomization conditions have been met. Because it was critical to examine the randomness of the residual for the Buchanan-3-phase model used in the fitting of the effect of nZVI/Pd and SiO2-nZVI/Pd nanoparticles on the growth of Pseudomonas putida, it was decided to conduct this study using the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test. The run test indicated that there were 7 total runs, whereas 7.15 runs were predicted based on the randomization assumption. This shows that the residual series contains suitable runs. Because the p-value was greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis was not rejected; this means that there is no persuasive evidence of the residuals' non-randomness; rather, the residuals represent noise. This implies that no extra effort is required to discover potential outliers. Because there was no outlier, the data did not need to be reanalyzed as a result of Grubb's test results. Overall, the residual analysis indicates that the Buchanan-3-phase model used in the fitting of the effect of nZVI/Pd and SiO2-nZVI/Pd nanoparticles on the growth of P. putida was adequate.
Species of Pseudomonas and Bacillus Isolated from Refined Oil-contaminated Soil Showed the Potential to Efficiently Degrade Diesel

Published: August 2022

The high rise in the exploration and usage of petroleum products have led to widespread contamination in the environment. Thence, the continuous search for microorganisms with the potential to mineralize these pollutants is necessary. This study was conducted to isolate, identify and determine the diesel degradation potential of bacteria from oil-contaminated soil collected from three filling stations in Azare, Katagum LGA, Bauchi State, Nigeria. The diesel degrading bacteria were identified using standard protocols. The isolates were screened spectrophotometrically for their potential to utilize 1% diesel (v/v) as their sole carbon and energy source and the best candidate was used for determining the effect of diesel concentration on its biodegradation. The results revealed the presence of three bacterial species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis. P. Putida showed the highest diesel degradation at 120 h with an absorbance of 2.27±0.03 at 600 nm followed by P. aeruginosa (2.23±0.03) and Bacillus subtilis. The best degradation was observed at 1% diesel concentration (v/v) followed by 2% and the least was recorded at 3% with the absorbance of 2.40±0.00, 2.27±0.03 and 2.20±0.00 respectively. The detection of these potential degraders is crucial in the light of the lingering search for efficient hydrocarbon degraders for efficient bioremediation since their degrative capability could be enhanced for deployment in the bioremediation of diesel-contaminated environments.
AN ASSESSEMENT OF NON-PERFORMING ASSETS (NPA) AT SREE THYAGARAJA CO-OPERATIVE BANK LIMITED
Authors: C Annapoorna
Published: August 2022

India's cooperative banks have played a vital role in the country's performance in promoting financial presence. Since its beginning, they have brought important achievements and contributing to the empowerment and security of rural Indian. By offering loans and other facilities to farmers, small businessmen, start-ups, they are providing timely support to rural residents. Non-performing assets are those loans and advances on which principle or Interest amount is overdue for a period of 90 days. Non- performing assets are the indicator of the financial health of the bank. However, any loan repayment default will have an impact on the bank's operational effectiveness and financial stability. Managing NPA of the bank is a very comprehensive subject and very significant apprehension in the banking industry. To improve the efficiency and profitability of the banks the NPA need to be reduced and controlled. Reduced NPA generally indicate that the credit appraisal process has been strengthened and growth in NPA indicate the need for maintain provision in the balance sheet which will affect the profitability of the banks. The purpose of the study is to be familiar with the data of recent years and advancement of the bank in numerous sections of NPA. Keywords: Co-operative banks, Non-performing assets

Creating a Model for Developing and Evaluating Technical Instructions that use Extended Reality
Authors: Rantakokko Satu
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term for the many ways that we can now design 3D, interactive, and real-time environments as in combining virtual and real elements, and experience immersion in a completely virtual reality (VR). The use of XR is increasing in popularity
across a range of industries. Although researchers are becoming increasingly interested in the benefits and challenges of using XR to convey technical instructions, more comprehensive research is required. I aim to address this need in the present article by introducing an affordance model
of Technical Instructions in Extended Reality, the TIER model. Two earlier categorizations, the affordances of technical instructions, and the phases of data handling in XR, formed the point of departure for this article. The analysis utilized a four-category model of affordances by Rantakokko
and Nuopponen (2019) that comprised: accessing, finding, understanding, and relying on. Data handling in XR drew on a phase-based model by Rantakokko (2022) featuring: collection, processing, storage, transfer, combining, and presentation. Methods:The two sets of categorizations
were combined into a holistic model with an iterative process in order to offer a tool for analyzing and describing the possibilities and challenges that XR brings to designing technical instructions. The iterative process was conducted by adding examples from existing research into matrix
tables to understand how the affordances of technical instructions and the phases of data handling in XR are connected. Results: The TIER model is introduced with examples to illustrate how it can be used to view every phase of XR data handling in terms of the affordances of technical
instructions based on the laws, regulations, principles of good guidance, and the design process. Conclusion: The TIER model can be used as a tool for an organized, step-by-step design process as well as testing XR-based technical instructions to ensure that the features of XR support
the intended affordances of technical instructions. technical instructions, affordances, extended reality, mixed reality,
Countering Dominant Narratives in Public Memory
Authors: O'Brien April L. , Walwema Josephine
Published: August 2022

Purpose: State historical commissions tend to avoid erecting historical marker texts (HMTs), memorials, or monuments that document violence towards Black and brown individuals. The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) uses a series of tactics to circumvent local historical commissions
to memorialize victims of lynching. Methods: In this study, we use the EJI's Community Remembrance Project (CRP), an informational handbook for community activists, as our data set. We apply the 4Rs (Walton, Moore, & Jones, 2019) and tactical technical communication
in our analysis of the Community Remembrance Project and argue that the document functions as a coalitional, truth-telling tactic to redress inequalities in public memory. Results: We found that the EJI's CRP efforts with the Historical Marker Project clearly demonstrate
how coalitions can tactically intervene in racist systems—like historical commissions that reject truth-telling efforts—by creating a different path for historical markers to be erected in communities. Conclusion: We argue that public memory texts often reinforce racism
by avoiding topics like racial terror lynching and that these omissions have cultural and material consequences on communities. We contend that technical communicators can intervene in public memory systems and promote truth-telling through coalitional approaches to community activism.
A Review on Surface Roughness Measurement using Image Processing
Authors: R.H. Neeraj , R. K. Veeresha
Published: August 2022

In industries like aerospace, automotive, and other manufacturing industries, machining has become one of the major tasks, which involves turning, drilling, milling, etc. Drilling is one of the most difficult machining processes in the aerospace industry because millions of holes have to be drilled to assemble the parts. In another way, it is also a difficult machining process because the quality of drilling should be good, otherwise it may cause crack propagation and lead to the failure of the entire aircraft. The quality of the machining is predicted based on surface roughness. The contact method which involves the physical contact between the surface of the material and the measuring instrument, is used to measure the surface roughness, which has the major drawback of damaging the surface of a workpiece. To avoid this drawback, a non-contact method of measuring the surface roughness has been developed. This research paper thoroughly reviews the recent development and research by many researchers on image processing, which is one of the non-contact methods used to find the roughness value.

Published: August 2022

Smart phone, being compact in size, provides an all-in-one solution for mobile calls, emails, and internet access. Recently the Smartphone sales have plunged for several brands at an affordable price as Oppo, Mi, and Vivo. India is set to become the third-largest market for smart phones in four years, according to researcher international data Corporation, with phone manufacturers launching more affordable 4G handsets and looking to tap buyers in small cities and towns. This research is designed to provide information about customer perception and factors affecting their buying behavior with respect to Mi smart phones. The research design used is exploratory in nature which will provide an emphasis on numerical data (number). The data for analysis was gathered by using questionnaire method, with the sample for the representative customer with simple random sampling approach. There are several observations that each Smartphone has their own benefit and luxury offered by the companies. The product attributes offered by Mi’s are not as desirable as its competitors (such as Samsung) according to customer perception. The company needs to improve each of their products to gain customer expectations. It is recommended that the company should launch smarter phone with standard quality for lower classes as this will help them to reach more consumer as lower classes population in country are high.
Harmonizing Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation Frameworks for Risk Informed Development Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Uganda and Malawi
Authors: Omoyo Nyandiko Nicodemus , Susan Kimokoti , Ouma Odongo Janes , Donghui Ma
Published: August 2022

Increasing impacts of disasters and climate hazards have prompted Africa countries to develop national disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies with the aim of reducing mortality and other losses. However, disasters still have a signiﬁcant impact on their populations, their livelihoods, and the infrastructure on which they depend. Furthermore, an increasing understanding of the need to address the root causes of risk has led to calls for greater coherence between strategies that focus on DRR, Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Development. There is acknowledgement of the existing implementation gap dividing the policy domains of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at the national as well as international levels. This paper analyses the gaps and opportunities in design and implementation of policies and practices within the two domains and suggest measures to enhance their collaboration in Malawi and Uganda. Document analysis and interviews with 8 respondents over a period of one month were undertaken to gather the needed information. Fostering conceptual understanding of resilience, joint planning and implementation of similar activities through a common coordination mechanism were found to be essential for achieving coherence across the five thematic areas.

Kortárs nyitány : Az első három Térey-dráma előadása
Authors: Szabó-Székely Ármin
Published: August 2022

The oeuvre of János Térey has previously been approached primarily via his poems and his prose. The reception of Térey as a playwright didn’t extend beyond the performances themselves, and the subsequent theatrical reviews. But these are significant works, that did not yet find their organic place as part of the contemporary canon of plays, and as part of theatres’ repertoires. This paper analyses the beginnings of Térey’s theatre career, and his first three premieres: Nibelung Estates, Casemates and Table Music.
Élet a nyelven innen, halál a vizualitáson túl : Mundruczó Kornél: Liliom, 2019 (Hamburg, Thalia Theater)
Authors: Muntag Vince
Published: August 2022

Kornél Mundruczó’s 2019 Hamburg performance of Liliom is in the focus of this paper. The reception of Ferenc Molnár’s play in the past forty, fifty years clearly demonstrates that the work became an internationally cited and canonised classic. Certainly in the sense that while it maintains its historically inherited foreignness in the context of the interpretation’s present day, whenever that may be, it nevertheless offers surprisingly sharp answers to specific present-day issues. In this paper, I will review the stylistic characteristics of the performance, focusing on the question – how does this interpretation reshape our previous knowledge of the play Liliom.

This work serves as a starting point for a complex and deep examination of the cultural history of contact improvisation in Hungary.
Györgyike és Bella : Varsányi Irén femme fatale-szerepei
Authors: Váradi Ágnes
Published: August 2022

Irén Varsányi, as an actress of the Vígszínház, played leading and titular roles in Hungarian plays from 1902 on, including in plays by Sándor Bródy, Ferenc Molnár, Menyhért Lengyel, Dezső Szomory and Jenő Heltai. Irén Varsányi was a recipe for success because her performance, her unaffected, natural playing style always captivated the audience. In this paper, I examine how Irén Varsányi performs the femme fatale in two Dezső Szomory plays, Györgyike, Dear Child (1912) and Bella (1913).

Published: August 2022

Women are objectified on the stage of puppet theatre: they are puppets, with functional bodies crafted for the performance. At the same time, these heroines are feminised objects, who experience and perform their femininity through their object nature, the abilities and functions inherent in their bodies. This paper seeks to answer the question – how, and for what purpose should we use a puppet body that has a gendered identity.

Few Hungarian authors, and even fewer playwrights have had such an effect on the international literary scene as Ferenc Molnár did – although even Hungarian scholars have not yet created the monographic evaluation of the entire spectrum, from Broadway to rural houses of culture. The thesis of my paper is that this lack is related to a rupture in the reception process, which is why I centre the 1948-1956 period in my research, the period when no works by Molnár were, or could be, staged.
Three Glorious Resumptions: Kassák’s Road to Becoming a Master
Authors: Kappanyos András
Published: August 2022

Although the Hungarian Avant-garde produced several outstanding and internationally renowned creative minds, its defining figure is undoubtedly Lajos Kassák, poet, novelist, editor, critic, curator, typographer, painter, but first and foremost tireless and incorruptible organizer. His unprecedented career is more than just an amusing story: it also exemplifies the changes of the times that made it possible for a very sharp and very stubborn young man to accomplish this journey from apprentice of a locksmith in a small rural town to respected member of the community of progressive European artists. The presentation examines the major stages of this journey in the socio-cultural context and in the intellectual-spiritual development of Kassák. It focuses on the turning points when his surprisingly independent thinking allowed such insights and decisions that heavily influenced the destiny of Central-European Avant-garde, and still affect our ideas on the ultimate aim of art.
László Moholy-Nagy’s Photoplastics and Homogeneous Photomontage
Authors: Dragu Magda
Published: August 2022

I trace the emergence and evolution of László Moholy-Nagy’s photoplastics and their connection to the artist’s movies and movie scripts. By closely reading Moholy-Nagy’s statements concerning the nature of his photopastics, I show that their homogeneity and their clarity of meaning is derived from his similar experiments with film montage. Moholy-Nagy’s experiments from his film script Dynamic of the Metropolis (1925) exhibit similar characteristics to Eisenstein’s intellectual montage. In the evolution of avant-garde photomontage during the second decade of the past century, Moholy-Nagy’s photoplastics are an important achievement in the transformation of heterogeneous photomontage, which consisted of abrupt juxtaposition of the most disparate elements ‒ a technique closely related to visual collage ‒, into homogeneous photomontage which is defined by the articulation of clear meaning.
Marcel Breuer: Last of the First Moderns / First of the Last Moderns
Authors: McCarter Robert
Published: August 2022

Marcel Breuer (1902–1981) is one of the most important architects and designers of the second generation of Modernism. Yet today, more than 35 years after his death, Breuer is most often remembered for his furniture designs, while his architectural works have largely disappeared from disciplinary discourse. Breuer may be said to have stood between the first generation of modernists, such as Mies van der Rohe, whose accomplishments he matched, and the second generation of modernists such as Louis Kahn, who were his true contemporaries. Yet Breuer could be said not to belong either to the first or second generation, never embracing what he characterized as the dogmatic modernism of the glass curtain wall, but also rejecting the idea that modern architecture was a monolithic conception. Having begun his career with his 1934 lecture critiquing modernism from the inside, Breuer consistently rejected the critiques of modernism coming from the outside during the last 25 years of his career, when modernism was declared to be dead, and practitioners such as Breuer were labeled “late modernists.” Standing between the first and the last moderns, Breuer may be understood as the last of the first moderns and the first of the last moderns.

Comparative study of basal thermo tolerant attributes in tolerant and susceptible wheat cultivars
Authors: Sarkar Jayanwita , Chakraborty Usha , Chakraborty Biswanath
Published: August 2022

Two wheat cultivars, viz. C306 and HT41, have been evaluated for their responses to heat stress in terms of some biochemical and physiological attributes. During the exposure to high temperature (40°C for 6 and 12 h), a significant reduction in RWC and FW was recorded in HT41 which was also associated with heat susceptibility. The detrimental effects of high temperature were also apparent in terms of lipid peroxidation, chlorophyll content, H2O2 generation and electrolyte leakage and these were more pronounced in HT 41. Accumulation of osmolytes like proline, total sugar increased due to heat injury and also varied between the two cultivars. In this present study evaluation and analysis of these biochemical and physiological characters under heat stress could unravel the mechanism of basal thermotolerance and thus might be useful as genetic stock to develop wheat tolerant varieties.

A governança corporativa busca mitigar o conflito de interesse entre os proprietários e a gestão, nesse conceito ajustado ao cooperativismo surge a governança cooperativa. Como o cooperativismo é baseado na participação dos associados, a governança cooperativa deve reforçar a importância da representatividade e da transparência, melhora a segurança, reduz custos de fiscalização e controle, melhora a imagem e fortalece o espírito cooperativista. Assim, por meio de uma pesquisa descritiva, com coleta de dados documental, análise quantitativa, buscou-se identificar o nível de aderência das cooperativas de crédito catarinenses às diretrizes de Governança Cooperativa do Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen), elaborando-se o Índice de Governança Cooperativa (IGCOOP). Sendo que o resultado encontrado, mostrou ser relativamente baixo a aderência às diretrizes do Bacen, sendo que a discrepância maior nos resultados do IGCOOP está ligada à central pela qual a singular é filiada.

Authors: M. Selman Abbas
Published: August 2022

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanocrystalline (NC) thin films (TH) were deposited on different surfaces of material as substrates; quartz, glass as well as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) using radio frequency (RF) reactive magnetron sputtering method. The effects of substrate type on structural and morphological properties of GaN-NCTH were studied. X-ray diffraction analyses and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images showed that the GaN particles have covered all surfaces of the substrates with a smooth arrangement. The root mean square (RMS) surface roughness was 30.8, 1.45 and 1.46 nm for the GaN-NCTH deposited on FTO, glass and quartz substrates, respectively. Based on the GaN-NCTH prepared onto glass substrate, the optical bandgap was calculated to be 3.38 eV.
