Authors: Mehmood Nasir , Arif Muhammad , Anwer Muhammad
Published: August 2023

For decades, students’ attitude toward science has been debated within diverse contexts, and the growth of positive attitude toward science has been a key goal of science. Classroom learning approaches for science students are a strong factor that predicts and determines the attitude of science students. Current research focused on the relationship of students’ attitudes towards science with their learning approach, meaningful and rote learning approaches on gender and SES basis by using 1966 science students from selected public secondary schools of Pakistan. The empirical results are estimated by using TOSRA approach by using a reliability value of 0.89 as an attitude scale. To measure the Learning Approach (LAQ), Cavallo (1996) scale was used (eliability value 0.74 for the Learning Approach scale, 0.56 for the Meaningful Learning scale, and r = 0.58 for the rote Learning scale). Alongside descriptive statistics, Pearson r was used in this research. Pearson r results revealed a positive and significant correlation between the variables, and a similar relationship was found for genders with no differences. The findings of this study would open new horizons for future researchers by showing the relation between different variables for wider consideration of the perspective.

The impact of wearing a white coat on the perception of older people
Authors: Crutzen Coline , Adam Stéphane , Willems Sylvie
Published: August 2023

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that wearing a white coat affects patients (“the white coat effect”), the individual wearing the white coat (“enclothed cognition”), and the relationship itself between both parties. The aim of our study is to determine whether our perception of an older person differs when they are interacting with a professional caregiver wearing a white coat as opposed to when the caregiver is in civilian clothing. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on this subject thus far.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recorded two videos showing an older person with a professional caregiver. The videos are identical except for the caregiver's attire: white coat vs. civilian clothing. 135 volunteers from the general population took part in our online survey and watched one of the two videos. Then, the perception of the older person was evaluated with 10 pairs of opposing adjectives (such as: “independent/dependent”). Participants were asked to move the cursor between the two adjectives. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to compare the perceptions both groups.Results: The results obtained indicate that when the caregiver is wearing a white coat, the older person at their side is perceived as significantly (14.77%) more dependent as opposed to when the caregiver is in civilian clothing. The caregiver is also perceived as significantly more competent when wearing a white coat.Conclusions: Professional caregiver’s wearing a white coat is likely to have an impact on the perception of the older people in contact with said caregivers. Older people may be perceived as more dependent if the nursing staff (at home, in nursing home) wear white coats.

Team from Czech Technical University in Prague participated in prestigious international contest Solar Decathlon Europe 21-22. The topic of its FIRSTLIFE project was an extension of student dormitory by adding of new floors on the building together with a retrofit of the existing part. The paper deals with the pedagogical context of this activity. Students got an extraordinary opportunity to actually implement their theoretical proposals based on calculations. They also received feedback on the extent to which detailed designs are feasible in normal construction practice. New knowledge can be applied in future better estimation of the effect of imperfections, for example in calculations of heat conduction, the effect of thermal bridges, leaks for moisture transport and air tightness. Information about future research in Living Lab is given at the end of the paper.
Temperature measurements in the air gap of highly insulated wood-frame walls in a Zero Emission Building
Authors:   SINTEF, Brozovsky Johannes , Oksavik Odne ,   SINTEF, Rüther Petra ,   SINTEF
Published: August 2023

Especially for wooden wall constructions, ventilated rain-screen walls have been used for many decades to prohibit moisture-induced damage. The air gap behind the façade cladding provides drainage, enhances ventilation, and thus facilitates drying of wetted façade components. The conditions in the air gap behind different cladding materials, however, are still an object of research. In the presented study, the interim findings after more than two years of ongoing measurements in the air gap behind different cladding materials of a zero-emission office building in the high-latitude city of Trondheim, Norway are presented. The results provide valuable insight into the temperature conditions in the air gap of ventilated claddings in order to determine the in-use conditions of building materials and develop improved testing schemes. The results indicate that the air and surface temperature in the air cavity of the walls is strongly influenced by the solar radiation incidence on the facades. Both the highest and lowest values were observed on the roof with 81 °C and -21.9 °C, respectively, at the back side of the building integrated photovoltaic modules, resulting in a total temperature range of almost 103 °C.

Published: August 2023

On the way to a reliable and large-scale application of internal insulation, clear and simple guidelines for building practitioners are needed, across all phases of refurbishment planning. Closing this gap was one objective of the “IN2EuroBuild”-project, completed in 2022. As a support in the planning process and for decision-making within the framework of the project, two comprehensive guides for the planning of internal insulation measures were developed. They guide users from the as-is analysis of the building (part one) to the renovation planning of the façade, the selection of suitable insulation systems and the verification and consideration of constructional details (part two). It describes the aspects to be considered during the entire process of planning and implementing an interior insulation measure. Both parts of the guide are aimed at people who have little or no experience in the field of energy efficient refurbishment and interior insulation, but who want to be informed and at least have a say. This group of people can include, for example, building owners, investors or public authority employees, but also architects or engineers who have rarely dealt with interior insulation and therefore do not know the various planning bases and dependencies in detail. The reader should be enabled to assess an issue and select a suitable interior insulation system in the numerous, unproblematic cases in which experts do not need to be consulted.
Quantifying energy-saving measures in office buildings by simulation in 2D cross sections

A methodology is presented to analyse the thermal behaviour of buildings with the goal to quantify energy saving measures. The solid structure of the building is modelled with finite elements to fully account for its ability to store energy and to accurately predict heat loss through thermal bridges. Air flow in the rooms is approximated by a lumped element model with three dynamical nodes per room. The dynamic model also contains the control algorithm for the HVAC system and predicts the net primary energy consumption for heating and cooling of the building for any time period. The new simulation scheme has the advantage to avoid U-values and thermal bridge coefficients and instead use well-known physical material parameters. It has the potential to use 2D and 3D geometries with appropriate automatic processing from BIM models. Simulations are validated by comparison to IDA ICE and temperature measurement. This work aims to discuss novel approaches to disseminating building simulation more widely.

Published: August 2023

El objetivo del presente estudio fue utilizar marcadores SSR fluorescentes para seleccionar genotipos con amplia variabilidad genética, entre introducciones de C. chinense provenientes de México, Brasil y Colombia. En la genotipificación se empleó la plataforma Applied Biosystems 3730xI (Institute of Biotechnology, Cornell University) y la evaluación del tamaño de los alelos se realizó con el software GeneMapper 3.7 (Applied Biosystems). Los marcadores revelaron un total de 114 alelos con un promedio de 12 alelos por locus. El tamaño de los alelos osciló entre 91 y 341 pares de bases. El número de alelos por locus fue variable, de seis para Hpms 2-24 a 21 para Gpms -161. Las poblaciones estudiadas presentaron un índice de Shannon bajo. Las accesiones con mayor diversidad genética fue Brasil con I= 1.622, mientras las de Colombia fue la menor, con I= 0.995. Los valores medios de Ho fueron de 0.517 para Brasil, 0.317 para Colombia y 0.543 para México. Los valores medios de He fueron, en general, superiores a los observados. La tasa de He más baja se registró en accesiones colombianas (0.491), mientras la más alta en las mexicanas (0.719). El análisis de conglomerados mostró la conformación de tres grupos, diferenciados según el origen geográfico de los genotipos evaluados. Todos los cebadores mostraron bandas reproducibles, lo que demuestra su eficiencia para la cartografía genética y el etiquetado de genes en futuros estudios. El valor PIC refleja que la diversidad alélica y la frecuencia entre los genotipos fueron generalmente altas para los loci SSR probados.

The research aims to study the effect of mixed organic acids and multivitamins supplementation program in drinking water of broilers raised under opened house conditions on performance, carcass characteristics and caecal bacteria counts of broilers.  This study was conducted on 7-days-old male chicks and a total of 160 broiler chicks were randomly divided into 4 groups of 4 replicates with 10 birds/replicate. Four treatments were as follows: Group 1 had no added feed additive (CO; control), Group 2 took organic acids (OA) added into drinking water at 1 ml/L, Group 3 was supplemented with vitamins (VM) at 1 g/L, during 7 to 35 days of age. VM and OA were added to Group 4 from 7 to 21 days of age and from 22 to 35 days of age, respectively.  All birds received commercial feed throughout the experiment until 42 days old.  The results revealed that the VO group had a higher final weight than the control group, and the VM groups (P<0.01).  All of the broilers that received drinking water supplements showed higher body weight gain (WG) and production index (PI) than those in the control group (P<0.01).  The carcass percentages and carcass quality of all groups were not significantly different (P>0.05), but the spleen percentages of the OA and VO groups were higher than the other groups (P<0.05).  Adding organic acids and vitamins in the drinking water resulted in the broiler chickens having significantly higher lactic acid bacteria than the control group (P<0.01). The VO and OA groups had significantly higher returns on investment than the control group (P<0.01). Therefore, under opened house conditions, the supplementation of VM at 7 to 21 days of age and OA at 22 to 35 days of age, respectively, in drinking water resulted in the best production index and return of investment. Also E. coli concentration in caeca reduced in the broilers.
Improvement of ultrasonic sensor-based obstacle avoidance system in drones
Authors: Kazan Fatih Alpaslan , Solak Haydar
Published: August 2023

Although drone users have received the necessary training, the reflexes of making decisions against a sudden natural event such as wind and avoiding a nearby obstacle may not be sufficient. Therefore, whether drones fly autonomously or under user control, they must sense and act accordingly for an uninterrupted mission. In this study, a drone design and application for obstacle detection and obstacle avoidance were carried out. In the designed drone, Pixhawk was used as the flight control board, ultrasonic sensors were used to detect obstacles, and Arduino Uno was used as a microcontroller to obtain avoidance commands. The sensors used in obstacle detection and their performance are the most decisive factors in achieving the targeted goal. Because obstacle detection sensors are affected by electrical noises, the success of detecting obstacles decreases. For this reason, first of all, the integration of these sensors into the system was investigated and the drone was developed accordingly. Then, an algorithm was developed using a software filtering method both to minimize communication instabilities and to increase the clarity of detection. Finally, the ability to evade obstacles both while the drone is suspended in the air and while it is in motion has been investigated. In the experiments carried out, it was found that the drone was able to successfully avoid obstacles up to a flight speed of 3.94 m/s.

Authors: Tao Simin , Hao Yifan
Published: August 2023

The goal of this study is to determine how the socioeconomic environment affects the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology in Chinese IT organizations while taking into account the mediating effects of employee teamwork and technological innovation. There are 350 employees from different Chinese IT organizations are surveyed online as part of the research's cross-sectional methodology. The study proposes that the adoption of AI and technology is greatly influenced by the socioeconomic situation. It also suggests that the relationship between the socioeconomic environment and the adoption of AI and technology is mediated through employee team collaboration. The relationship between employee team collaboration, AI adoption, and technological innovation is also anticipated to be moderated by technological innovation. The researchers use SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis are some of the statistical approaches used. The findings will offer useful information about how the socioeconomic setting, employee teamwork, and technological advancement affect the adoption of AI and technology across Chinese IT organizations. By presenting actual data on the interactions between the socioeconomic environment, employee collaboration, technological innovation, and the adoption of AI and technology, this study adds to the body of existing work. Organizations will be able to better integrate AI by using the findings to better understand the factors driving technology adoption. The study can help policymakers by providing them with information on the socioeconomic aspects that encourage the use of AI and technology in the IT industry.

Design and Performance Analysis of a Solar Air (SA) Heater with Phase Change Material (PCM) Heat Storage for Residential Applications
Authors: Jani Deepak Kumar S
Published: August 2023

Outlet air temperature can be seen as one of the main determinants of the functioning of the solar air heaters and this is one of the main features of the PCM. Variations in solar radiation can be considered a key determinant of the functioning of solar air heaters used in residential applications. Weather conditions can influence the presentation of the air heaters operated by solar energy to a great extent. Structuring of collector plates needs to be done in an effective manner by designers of air heaters used in residential applications. The contact surface of the collector plates is the other determinant of the presentation of the air heaters. A blower is one of the most vital components used in air heaters and the efficiency of the blower can improve the execution of this device. Transport fluid has been identified as a vital factor that can have a huge impact on the functioning of air heaters operated by solar energy. Air thermal capacity can be considered as the other determinant of the functioning of this device. The high cost of fluid circulation has been found as one of the negative factors in the structure and functioning of the air heaters used in residential applications.
KÜLTÜREL BELLEĞİN TAZELENMESİ: TÜRK DÜNYASI EFSANELERİNDE TUFAN SİMGECİLİĞİ
Authors: BAYSAL YURDAKUL Nagihan
Published: August 2023

Kültür, bir toplumun dünya görüşü, kendini ve çevresini algılayışı, anlayışı ve bu temel üzerinde oluşturulan inanmalar, düşünceler, hareketlerin birleşimidir. Kültür, toplumsal hayatın sürdürülebilirliğini kültürel belleğin devamını sağlamaktadır. Kültürel bellek, bir toplumun varlık sürecindeki deneyim ve birikimini içeren kolektif bir hafızadır. Bu bellek, toplumun tarihini, mitolojisini, efsanelerini, geleneklerini ve ritüellerini korur. Kültürel bellek, topluma geçmişini hatırlatarak, kültürel kimliğin devamını sağlar ve toplumun üyelerini birbirine bağlamaktadır. Simgeler, kültürel belleğin bir parçası olarak önemli bir role sahiptir. Simgeler, maddi veya manevi nesneler, semboller veya işaretler aracılığıyla anlam taşıyan unsurlardır. Özellikle dini simgeler, maddi dünyadan hareketle manevi gerçekliği temsil ederler. Simgeler hem bireysel hem de toplumsal yaşamda anlam ve işlev sahibidirler ve Ait olduğu toplumun inanç sistemi ve dünya görüşüyle şekillenirler. Simgeler, insanları kutsal ve kozmik gerçekliğe yaklaştırabilen ve bu gerçekliği açıkça ifade edebilen unsurlardır. Su da birçok kültürde kutsal ve dinsel anlamlar taşımaktadır ve bu anlamların simgesi haline gelmiştir. Dünya kültürlerinin genelinde su simgesi, bir taraftan hayat veren, kutsala yaklaştıran bir nimet olarak görülürken, diğer taraftan yok edici bir güç olarak da algılanmaktadır. Türk inanç sisteminde su, kutsal ve tanrısal gücü temsil eden bir dinî simge olarak ele alınmalıdır. Su, hayatın kaynağı olmanın yanı sıra, varlığı sıfırlayarak saf ve kutsal hale getirme gücüne sahip bir unsurdur ve bir hiyerofani olarak tanrısal güçle doğrudan ilişkilidir ve simgelerin amacına bağlı olarak farklı anlamlar temsil eder. Aynı anda birden fazla anlamı simgelemesi, su simgeciliği adını verdiğimiz bir kavramı oluşturur. Tufan ise su simgeciliğinin bir parçası olan ve ölüm ve yeniden doğum kavramlarına işaret eden bir alt anlam ve simgedir. Tufan, sulardan ayrılarak yaratılan her varlığın zamanın ve hayatın düzenine tabi olduğunu, tarihsel süreçte bozulduğunu ve özünün boşaldığını, ancak suyla temas ederek kozmogonik yaratımın yeniden gerçekleşip varlığın yenilenebildiğini ifade etmektedir. Biz bu çalışmamızda, Türk inanç sistemindeki tufan olgusu, yok oluşun, arınmanın ve yeniden yaratmanın sembolü olarak, efsaneler aracılığıyla geçmişten günümüze aktarılışı ve günümüzde Türk dünyasının kolektif ve kültürel belleğindeki yerini ortaya koymayı amaçlıyoruz.
TB programme stakeholder views on lessons from the COVID-19 response in South Africa
Authors: Myburgh H. , Meehan S-A. , Wademan D. T. , Osman M. , Hesseling A. C. , Hoddinott G.
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: The global COVID-19 pandemic has reversed many of the hard-won gains made in TB programmes and the associated reduction in the number of TB deaths, case notifications and incidence over the last three decades. Modelling estimates show that the impact will be lasting.
There are global calls to recover the shortfalls along the TB care cascade that have resulted from COVID-19, with the recognition that the COVID-19 response holds lessons to inform more robust and comprehensive TB programmes and services.OBJECTIVE: To explore lessons from response
measures to the COVID-19 pandemic in two high TB burden South African provinces.DESIGN: This was an exploratory qualitative study. We conducted interviews with TB programme stakeholders (managers and facility-level staff: n = 35) between February and June 2022.RESULTS:
We identified eight facilitators of the COVID-19 response, including political will, rapid policy development, multi-sectoral collaboration, patient-centred models of care delivery, community engagement, mHealth and telehealth technologies, rigorous contact tracing and widespread mask wearing.
Political will was singled out as a critical driver of the response.CONCLUSION: Leveraging COVID-19 inspired collaborations, technologies and avenues for health service delivery is an opportunity to maximise benefits for the TB programme. Reinvestment in national TB programmes and
political prioritisation of TB are critical.

Marine macroalgae are the ecological basis in most of the marine environments. Light and space, added to nutrients rank among the most important elements influencing their distribution in the marine environment. Thus, this work aimed to identify and quantify the current and past literature on marine macroalgae competitive interactions and to address the main questions on the competitive patterns and their consequences for community structure, as well as to compare the competitive capacity among different macroalgal taxa. To do so, a quantitative literature search was performed based on papers published from 1934 to 2022, using the following combination of Boolean operators and keywords: “Seaweed OR macroalgae OR macroalga, AND ecolog *, AND competiti *”. A total of 173 articles were then compiled and selected. Our results compiled 124 different macroalgae genera with 546 studied taxa on competition processes. Among them, 38% of the compiled taxa belonged to Ochrophyta; 31% Rhodophyta and 18% Chlorophyta. The most-studied genera were Dictyota (6.8%), Sargassum (6.8%), Ulva (4.9%) and Lobophora (4.2%). Space was the most analyzed limiting factor (40.9%), followed by papers related to herbivory (26.1%), and lastly by competition over nutrients (15.1%). Our results, while attesting to the overarching complexity of competitive interactions, nevertheless allowed us to summarize the current knowledge regarding the patterns of competitive interactions on macroalgae, thus providing a useful synthesis for new perspectives on marine systems and research.

Cooking time, quality after cooking and postharvest deterioration are important characteristics in the selection of a cassava ethnovariety, both for consumption in the fresh form and for industrial processing.  The objective of this research was to evaluate the culinary characteristics and postharvest deterioration of cassava ethno-varieties cultivated in the state of Mato Grosso, and thus select materials with the most desirable qualities for cultivation and commercialization. This study consisted of the evaluation of 39 cassava ethno-varieties in regards to culinary characteristics. The postharvest deterioration analysis was performed during 20 days. Among the 39 ethno-varieties studied, 31 were deemed easy to peel and eight difficult to peel. Only two ethno-varieties had short cooking times (25 and 27 minutes). Among the two ethno-varieties that stood out in the culinary analysis, AF23 was the one with the longest time before onset of deterioration. Most of the ethno-varieties studied presented root periderm color as being dark brown (21), white/cream cortex color (24) and white root pulp (27). The results indicate that there is a variation in the cooking time, which strongly influences the quality of the cooked mass, and that ethno-variety AF23 has desirable characteristics for consumption and commercialization of its roots.

O estudo de disponibilidade está relacionado ao conhecimento das características físicas e hidrológicas de bacias hidrográficas. Nesse sentido o desenvolvimento de modelos hidrológicos foi fundamental para o avanço dos estudos hidrológicos e foi uma ferramenta muito importante para a gestão de recursos hídricos. Por meio dos modelos podem-se simular cenários objetivando entender o comportamento dos rios nas bacias e, com isso, tomar decisões relativas à gestão de recursos hídricos mais prudentemente. Nessa direção, este trabalho visa a realizar a calibração para vazões mínimas do modelo MGB-IPH para a bacia do Rio Mundaú, localizada entre os estados de Alagoas e Pernambuco. Para isso, foram coletados dados hidrológicos e relativos à topografia da bacia, a fim de caracterizar a região para o processo de simulação com o MGB-IPH. O processo de calibração escolhido foi o manual, por meio do método de tentativa e erro. Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, tendo como parâmetros de avaliação da calibração o coeficiente de Nash, os erros relativos da Q90 e da Q95 e a curva de permanência. Mesmo se tratando de uma bacia com aproximadamente 4.090 Km2, verificou-se que as vazões simuladas pelo modelo tiveram boa representatividade com relação aos dados observados fornecidos pelos órgãos responsáveis.

Published: August 2023

Buku ini merupakan kumpulan esai yang menceritakan pemikiran dan perjuangan para maestro seni ataupun tokoh-tokoh yang bersentuhan dengan musik. Buku ini melihat musik bukan dari peristiwa musik itu sendiri, melainkan dari fenomena, kisah-kisah, cerita-cerita, sejarah, dan pemikiran para pemusiknya. Esai-esai dalam buku ini mencoba menempatkan sejarah sebagai perspektif untuk membangun konteks penulisan yang berdimensi lampau, kini, dan yang akan datang. Terdapat dua kategori yang dibahas dalam buku ini, yaitu Tubuh Pemusik dan Obituarium. Pada “Tubuh Pemusik”, ketokohan dan kiprah bermusik ditulis pada saat sang tokoh masih hidup, sementara “Obituarium” ditulis sesaat setelah sang tokoh meninggal. Buku ini ditulis dengan pendekatan ilmiah populer untuk memudahkan siapa pun dalam membacanya. Hadirnya buku ini selain diharapkan dapat menjadi buku referensi bagi mahasiswa jurusan musik, musikologi, etnomusikologi, dan studi kebudayaan, juga dapat menjadi bahan bacaan masyarakat umum untuk mengenal para tokoh dan hasil karyanya.
Exploiting nutrient-microbe synergy in unlocking productivity potential of perennial fruits : A review
Authors: SRIVASTAVA A K , MALHOTRA S K , KUMAR N K KRISHNA
Published: August 2023

Fruits crops by the virtue of their nutritional qualities have already emerged as a major alternative, cutting short the menacing load on the consumption of traditional monotonous cereal/tuber crop-based diet. Huge microbial diversity has displayed different magnitude of synergism with fruit crops, which played a catalytic role in unlocking the productivity stagnation through improved efficacy of applied nutrients. Perennial fruit crops are better equipped to be benefitted through nutrient-microbe synergy because of their perennial framework and root configuration. However, use of multiple inoculation through crop specific microbial consortium, especially AM-based consortium in combination with nutrients (organic or inorganic in nature) provided a much better option in fruits with an added element of much better labile pool of microbial (taxonomic, function, and metabolic diversity) and nutrient pool of the rhizosphere for stronger soil carbon sink ultimately. The concept of “rhizosphere hybridization” is, therefore, advocated to harness the value added benefit of nutrient -microbe synergy, besides providing dynamism to microbial consortium suiting to wide range of perennial fruits. Microbial consortium augers well, with fertigation option as well, as a pretreatment of soil before injecting soluble mineral fertilizers into the wetting zone of drippers in order to improve upon the fertilizer use efficiency.

The present investigation was carried out at Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour during rabi season of 2010-11 in Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) for yield and quality contributing characters. The microbial inoculant (Azospirillum) significantly reduced the number of days taken to head initiation (54.74 days). The plants developed under nitrogen level of 150 kg N/ha along with microbial inoculant Azospirillum significantly produced the highest average head weight (1.653 kg) per plant. The highest head yield (527.09 q/ha) was obtained with the use of microbial inoculant Azospirillum and proved its superiority over Azotobacter. For quality components the lowest moisture content in head (80.00%) was associated with nitrogen level of 200 kg N/ha + Azospirillum. Moreover, the highest dry weight per head (117.62 g) was associated with nitrogen level of 150 kg N/ha. The plants grown at nitrogen level of N0 (0 kg N/ha) produced significantly maximum ascorbic acid in head (86.46 mg/100 g). Therefore, it may be concluded that application of microbial inoculants basically Azospirillum as seedling treatment as well as soil application of nitrogen @ 150 kg/ha was the most effective treatment combination for higher yield and quality in cabbage.
Underdevelopment in Nigerian and Other Developing Countries: Imperialism Versus Corruption
Authors: Nte Timothy Ubelejit
Published: August 2023

The conception that Africa is underdeveloped because of the incursion of Europeans vis-à-vis slave trade, imperialism and colonialism is so overwhelming that it beclouds contemporary reality of the fundamental causes of underdevelopment in Nigeria and other developing countries. Very recently, precisely January 22, 2016, John Kerry (US Secretary of States) declared that corruption is killing Nigeria and 5 other states. Alhaji Lai Mohammed (Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture) had earlier stated that about 55 people stole a total of 1.34 trillion Naira between 2006 and 2013. This arousesconsciousness on corruption and brings to question the Afrocentric theories of underdevelopment. The study appraises the basic assumptions of dependency / imperialism conceptions and juxtaposes it with cases of corruption in Nigeria. The study concludes that Nigeria and other developing countries should stop brooding over slavery, imperialism and colonialism that ended several decades ago and face present realities because almost all the countries of the world were at one time or the other brutalized, subjugated and exploited. The reality is that corruption is the root cause of contemporary underdevelopment in Nigeria and other developing countries. The study recommends among other things that anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria should be strengthened and granted more coercive and enforcement powers. There should be no sacred cows or caveats in the fight against corruption. Stiffer penalties and punishment should be meted out on corruption cases and immunities of politicians should be conditional waived in glaring cases of corruption.
THE UNFAIR AND HURTING ATTACKS ON OIL PALM -AN ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY CROP
Authors:   The Incorporated Society of Planters, E PUSHPARAJAH
Published: August 2023

The anti-palm oil lobby apparently has tried various means to discredit the product. Initially, the objections were supposedly based on adverse effect on health. When this claim was found to be false, the objections shifted to clearing of jungle including peat land resulting in adverse environmental impact - including killing of orangutans! Then there was a demand for certification to prove that the production of palm oil was done sustainably. Malaysian producers moved in that direction, including making a decision on no further clearing of jungle etc. Not only the non-governmental organisations (NGOs), individuals but also a supermarket chain and even the governments [in European Union (EU)] now say "no to palm oil" -even though it meets the requirements demanded earlier. The anti-palm campaign ignores the direct dependence on oil palm cultivation and palm oil production of over 10 per cent of the country’s population including smallholders and workers. Yet there is no objection to the rampant clearing of jungle for soya bean, animal production etc. in other continents - possibly because of the involvement of western investments? Additionally, there appears to be no concern of the production of other vegetable oils being more harmful to the environment. Is this justice?
