Authors: Sykes Daniel , Schmalz Gerd , Ezhov Vladimir Vladimirovich
Published: May 2021

В статье рассматриваются сферические гиперповерхности в $\mathbb{C}^2$ с фиксированным касательным векторным полем Рееба как трехмерные многообразия Сасаки. Устанавливается связь между тремя разными наборами параметров, а именно, тех, которые возникают из представления поля Рееба как автоморфизма сферы Гейзенберга, параметров используемых Стэнтон для описания "жестких сфер", а также параметров, являющихся коэффициентами нормальных форм уравнений гиперповерхностей. Кроме того, геометрически описывается пространство модулей жестких сфер и устанавливается геометрическое различие между поверхностями Стэнтон и найденными в [1]. Наконец, определяются группы сасакиевых автоморфизмов жестких сфер, среди которых выявляются однородные многообразия.

Authors: Mateu Joan Eugeni , Mora Maria Giovanna , Rondi Luca , Scardia Lucia , Verdera Joan Melenchon
Published: May 2021

В работе рассматриваются нелокальные функционалы энергии, заданные на множестве вероятностных мер на плоскости как сумма свертки, описывающей взаимодействие, и квадратичного ограничения. Ядро взаимодействия имеет вид $-\log|z|+\alpha x^2/|z|^2$, $z=x+iy$, где $-1<\alpha<1$. Оно анизотропно, если не считать кулоновского случая $\alpha=0$. Дается короткое компактное доказательство известного и удивительного утверждения о том, что единственным минимизатором такого функционала энергии является нормированная характеристическая функция области, ограниченной эллипсом с горизонтальной полуосью $\sqrt{1-\alpha}$ и вертикальной полуосью $\sqrt{1+\alpha}$. При $\alpha \to 1^-$ обнаружено, что единственным минимизатором соответствующего функционала энергии является полукруговое распределение на вертикальной оси (этот результат был ранее получен некоторыми из авторов данной статьи в связи с вопросом о взаимодействии дислокаций). В начале работы дается простейшее возможное изложение хорошо известных основных фактов данной теории, чтобы сделать доказательства доступными для читателей, незнакомых с предметом.

National strategies to promote renewable energy development: Whither Nigeria?
Authors: Ajibade Andrea A.
Published: May 2021

Renewable energy (RE) development enhances electrification, mitigates climate change and aids energy efficiency. Kenya, South Africa and Ghana, among other states within sub-Saharan Africa, have established legal regimes to integrate renewable energy into their energy mix. Through defined legal strategies for RE deployment, these states have committed to the promotion, development and utilization of RE. Despite the momentum towards renewable energy development across the region, Nigeria’s efforts fall short of establishing effective legal strategies. As Africa’s most populous nation it must do more to make RE part of its energy mix in order to impact electrification rates, mitigate climate change and aid socio-economic conditions. This article appraises the legal strategies for RE development in Kenya, South Africa and Ghana. Against this appraisal, it critically evaluates Nigeria’s legal strategies to promote and develop RE. It recommends legal reforms that are necessary to better integrate RE into Nigeria’s energy mix. The methodological approach of this article is doctrinal and library-based. It includes primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include laws, statutes, legal documents, conventions and statistics. Secondary sources include journal articles, internet sources and newspaper articles. All sources are subject to content analysis. It is expected that the article will be useful to policy and lawmakers across various tiers of government in Nigeria.Keywords: Renewable Energy Development, Electrification, Energy Efficiency, National Strategies.

Authors: Okafor Amalachukwu , Olaniyan Ayobami
Published: May 2021

Oil pipelines are no ordinary assets, and their security is of utmost importance especially in a country like Nigeria where oil pipelines are the major means of transporting crude oil. Nigeria relies on this means of transportation, which has been the victim of various physical attacks over the years by vandals and militant groups. This has affected the transportation of crude oil, which isthe most important resource sustaining the Nigerian economy, putting it in jeopardy. This article appraises the efficacy of relevant Nigerian legislation providing for oil pipelines security; highlights the weaknesses of the current regulatory arrangement, and suggests legal reforms to make oil transportation through pipelines efficient, effective and secure in Nigeria. These reforms include the need to have a comprehensive legislation on oil pipeline security; the need to review relevant legislation providing for the security of oil pipelines in Nigeria; proper funding of the security agencies saddled with the overall responsibility for managing as well as safeguarding the pipelines to ensure their productivity; and overhauling the entire security apparatus put in place to protect oil pipelines in Nigeria by having a sustainable and strategic approach to dealing with oil pipeline insecurity.Keywords: Pipelines, Oil, Vandalism, Sabotage, Security.

Authors: Badu A. K. , Appiah E. , Eshun E. F.
Published: May 2021

The increase in the number of tertiary institutions in Ghana offering Communication Design calls for a review of activities in the premium Department of Communication Design in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Grounded in service qualitytheory, the study examined students' perceptions and satisfaction relationships among five key variables related to satisfaction with service quality: assurance, tangibles, reliability, empathy and responsibility. The design employed for the study was survey. A total of 400 questionnaire were randomly distributed, out of which 260 were returned during the end of the second semester of the 2014/2015 academic year. The instrument used for the study was adapted from Cronin and Taylor's Service Quality Questionnaire.The instrument consisted of two parts; Part A consisted of items o respondent's biodata while Part B comprised of 22 items which elicited responses from student's perceived satisfaction. The results of the study using the factorial analysis technique indicated that students had negative perceptions and satisfaction about service delivery in the department. The findings suggest that there is a missing link between the deapartment and students. Baesd on these findings, the researchers recommend that there should be an avenue where students can address their concerns without malice, and also ensure that these concerns are given the maximum consideration.
Potential groundwater pollution from improper oil and metal waste disposal in Suame, Ghana
Authors: Appiah-Adjei E. K. , Appiah N. F. , Adjei K. A.
Published: May 2021

Suame is an industrialized hub in Kumasi, Ghana, that is noted for vehicle repairs and servicing, sale of automobile spare parts, and metal fabrication. Some of these activities generate huge volumes of waste oil and metals that are often disposed off indiscriminately into the environment. These could pose a threat to the quality of groundwater in the area, especially if they continuously accumulate in the environment. This study, therefore, investigated the potential impact of the waste disposal on groundwater quality in the area. The methods employed involved mapping all the potential waste oil spillage sources and sampling the soils in such areas (at 0 – 30 and 30 – 60 cm depths) and groundwater supply points for laboratory analyses to determine the presence of the waste. In all, 36 samples (comprising 12 soil and 24 groundwater) were analysedfor the presence of heavy metals including Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cr, which were used as traceelements for the presence of the waste in the samples. Computedgeo-accumulation indices from the results show the soils are moderately to heavily polluted with Cd and Pb whilst the groundwater, when compared to the WHO drinking water guidelines, is polluted with Pb and Ni. Althoughthe source of the high Pb content observed could be attributed to its transport directly from the activities in the area, the presence of high Ni makes it inconclusive since the Ni in the soil was within the concentration expected of the parent rock geochemistry. This notwithstanding, the study has indicated that groundwater in the area is not safe for human consumption unless the lead and nickel concentrations are reduced to acceptable standard for drinking.Keywords: Groundwater quality, pollution, waste disposal, Suame, Ghana

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been known to possess unique antimicrobial properties which help in medicine and water treatment, but their potentials in agriculture have not been fully utilized. This study was conducted to determine the inhibitory activity of bio-synthesized Silver nanoparticles on strains of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. Michiganensis, causative agents of canker disease of tomato plant. The Ag-NPs were synthesized using Cladosporium cladosporioides, leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica and Vernonia amygdalina. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The antibacterial activities of bio-synthesized Ag-NPs on strains of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis were evaluated using agar well diffusion method. UV-visible spectroscopic analysis revealed rapid reduction of silver ions by C. cladosporioides, A. indica and V. amygdalina extracts where surface Plasmon absorption maxima were observed at 400nm – 450nm from the UV-visible spectra. The in-vitro antibacterial activities revealed that Ag-NPs synthesized using V. amygdalina and A. indica extracts inhibited the growth of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis strains with zones of inhibition ranging from 15.70 mm - 24.70mm and 21.00mm – 30.00mm, respectively, while those synthesized using C. cladosporioides showed zones of inhibition ranging from 0.00mm – 12.00mm. Growth curves of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis strains in the presence of biosynthesized Ag-NPs showed inhibition of growths after 4 – 10 hours of exposure. The results of this study indicated that the bio-synthesized silver nanoparticles could be effective in controlling bacterial canker disease of tomato plant caused by strains of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis thereby reducing the toxic effects of chemical bactericides on important agricultural products.Keywords: Silver nanoparticles; inhibitory activity; canker, tomato; zones of inhibition
Natural rubber latex as a resist medium for batik production
Authors: Asmah A. E. , Okpattah V. , Koomson E.
Published: May 2021

To reduce the dependency of the exportable Paraffin wax, as a major resist component in batik making, the study examined the possibility of using the locally available natural rubber latex extracted from the natural rubber tree as a resist medium for batik production. A series of experiments were conducted using the rubber latex on mercerized cotton as a resist via stamping, tjanting and screen printing techniques. The experimental and descriptive methods under the qualitative research approach were the main instrument deployed. It was realized based on the various experiments conducted, that the natural rubber latex coagulates when expose to air, making its application difficult to adhere well on the fabric. To resolve this, a concentrated ammonia solution and poly vinyl acetate were added to the freshly tapped natural rubber latex to prevent coagulation, prolong its liquid state and improve its viscosity to make it applicable onto the cotton fabric. Though the unpleasant smell remains after de-latex, the project proved successful after a series of washing to reduce the smell of the turpentine. Further research is suggested to examine how the smell of the turpentine can be reduced to avoid eroding the brightness of the dyed fabric, especially when dyed with lighter colours such as orange and yellow.Keywords: Natural rubber latex; ammonia solution; poly vinyl acetate; mercerized cotton; batik

Published: May 2021

Introduction. Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is one of the most common metabolic disorders in children and is one of the leading causes of calcium urolithiasis and osteoporosis. The strategic goal of treatment for IH is to reduce urinary calcium excretion. Materials and methods. The study included 93 IH children aged from 3 to 14 years with identified IH. At the first stage, IH children have been prescribed low sodium and high potassium diet with increased fluid intake for three months without additional drug therapy. For children with persistent IH at the second stage, the diet was supplemented daily with 1000-1500 mg of fish oil for children for 3 months. At the third stage of treatment, persistent IH patients were prescribed hydrochlorothiazide at a dose of 1 mg/kg for 3 months. After each stage of treatment, we analyzed IH’s manifestations in dynamics and monitored urinary calcium excretion by calcium/creatinine ratio (CCR). Results. Evaluation of clinical and laboratory manifestations of IH after the first stage of treatment showed the effectiveness of the diet in 59.1% of patients. Among 38 patients included in the second stage of therapy, the normalization of urinary calcium excretion was noted in 52.6% of cases. The third stage of therapy was performed in 18 patients (19% of the initial group of IH children patients). The normalization of CCR was achieved in 16 (88.9%) children. Conclusion. For the correction of IH in children, a step-by-step approach should be recommended, starting with recommendations on the drinking regimen and nutrition, then prescribing fish oil preparations and resorting to thiazide diuretics in the lack of an effect from the first stages of treatment.

O pequi é uma fruta de sabor exótico e cultivada em todo o cerrado brasileiro. A polpa da fruta é comercializada in natura ou enlatada, utilizada no preparo de diversos pratos típicos. No entanto, essa fruta é pouco explorada na culinária doce. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma formulação de geleia de pequi com dois tipos de açúcar, além de avaliar as características físico-químicas e a aceitação sensorial do produto. Os pequis foram despolpados, triturados, misturados ao açúcar e aquecidos em fogo baixo até que o valor mínimo de sólidos solúveis atingisse 65 ºBrix. Para umidade, acidez e sólidos totais, não houve diferença significativa entre as formulações estudadas. Enquanto para pH, cinzas e vitamina C, os resultados foram significativamente maiores para a geleia elaborada com açúcar mascavo, e atribuídos à composição do açúcar que contém maior teor de minerais. Na análise sensorial, a geleia com açúcar cristal foi a mais preferida pelos julgados. No teste de aceitação, a cor contribuiu significativamente para uma maior aceitação da geleia elaborada com açúcar cristal. Portanto, a formulação da gelatina com a polpa do pequi torna-se uma alternativa para agregar valor às frutas exóticas brasileiras.

Published: May 2021

The current study aims to discuss and investigate one of the most prominent and important issues that has been in constant debate in all the previous researches and studies dine in the scope of criminal law ; especially those regarding the juridical construction relating to the terrorism cases. The main attempt of this research is to evaluate the criminal policy of the Libyan Legislation issuing law no.3 for the year 2014 concerning Terrorism combating. Disregarding the recent issuing of the law in subject, the above-mentioned law is of great importance due to its high concern of the juridical apparatus of combating terrorism. However, what makes a wonder herewith is the Libyan legislation has been taking a step backwards when the law (4) was issued in 2017 in regarding of the amendment of the provisions of both the Military Penal Code and the Code of Military Procedures which has already mandated the judiciary of offenders of terrorism according to the terms identified in Article 3. Herewith, the perception of the effectiveness and functionality of the above-mentioned law is not possible without paying the attention to reviewing the jurisdiction from one hand and the working conditions of the judges from the other hand. However, the good conduct of the judges’ work depends heavily on doing several improvements for these apparatus, in addition to promoting the juridical capabilities by supporting these apparatus with the modern facilities, utilizing the experience of the developed countries in this regard. Therefore, the prospects are addressed to developing the juridical construction properly according to the principles of the defense rights and the fair trial as these principles are the constitution fundamentals and the traits of the criminal-justice system.
A Practical Algorithm for Calculating the Impulse Earthing Resistances of Vertical Earthing Electrodes
Authors:   Global Energy Interconnection Research Institute Co., Ltd., Beijing, China, Zhang Yongzheng , Zhang Xiaoqing ,   School of Electrical Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China
Published: May 2021

An algorithm is proposed in this paper for calculating the impulse earthing resistances of vertical earthing electrodes. The proposed algorithm employs the average potential method to derive the formula of the low current earthing resistance. Unlike the previous algorithm, the soil ionization effect under high impulse current is taken into account by introducing a nonlinear characteristic to represent the relationship between the electric field and current density in the ionization zone around the earthing electrode. On the basis of the nonlinear characteristic, the effective radius is evaluated for the equivalent earthing electrode. Then, the impulse earthing resistance can be calculated by substituting the effective radius into the formula of the low current earthing resistance. A comparison is also made between calculated and measured results to confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm. Keywords: Earthing Resistance; Vertical Earthing Electrode; Average Potential Integral; Soil Ionization; Current Density;

The migraine is a common and disabling disorder that may be related to several factors, including the diet. It is postulate that there is an association between migraine attacks and intake of certain foods and beverages such as ripened cheese, wine, yoghurt, citrus fruits, beer and chocolate. Other dietary aspects as food additives, starvation and insufficient intake of fluids may also trigger migraine. Although published studies are not conclusive, good clinical practice recommends the analysis of food consumption pattern for identification and control of the intake of specific foods that trigger or exacerbate migraine attacks. Therefore, more studies are needed to clarify the possible association between food and migraine.

Published: May 2021

Objetivo: Investigar a relação entre os sintomas depressivos e a cefaleia primária em adolescentes. Métodos: Foram avaliados 117 estudantes (68 meninas) de escolas da rede pública estadual na cidade de Recife, com idade variando entre 11 e 17 anos (14 ± 2 anos). Para classificar a cefaleia primária foram utilizados os critérios diagnósticos estabelecidos pela Sociedade Internacional de Cefaleia (ICHD-II) e para o rastreamento de sintomatologia depressiva foi utilizado o Inventário de Depressão Infantil. Resultados: Não houve associação estatística entre presença de sintomatologia depressiva e cefaleia no último mês em adolescentes com cefaleia [66/80 (82,5%)] quando comparados aos sem cefaleia [30/37 (81,1%)], p>0,05; χ2]. 68,4% da amostra referiu cefaleia no último mês, sendo 53/68 (77,9%) meninas e 27/49 (55,1%) meninos. A sintomatologia depressiva foi observada em 96/117 (82,1%) dos alunos [62/68 (91,2%) meninas e 34/49 (69,4%) meninos, p=0,003; χ2]. As meninas apresentaram maiores médias nos domínios problemas interpessoais p=0021; humor deprimido p=0,013; inefetividade p=0,024 e autoestima negativa p<0,001. Conclusão: Cefaleia primária e sintomas depressivos são frequentes entre os adolescentes estudados, porém não houve associação entre essas duas condições.
Bohler's Angle and Critical Angle of Gissane: Morphometry in Adult Indian Population
Authors: Mishra Pankaj K , Pathak Sharad , Tenguria Abha
Published: May 2021

Introduction

For the quantification of intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus, different types of angles have been mentioned in the literature. Of these, the Bohler's angle (BA) and the critical angle of Gissane (CAG) are used in common practice. However, there is a great paucity of literature conducted on the Indian populace to find out the normal range of BA and CAG. In this article, our objective is to homologate and confirm the normal range of BA and the CAG in the Indian population and compare their values to the published international reference values.

Materials and methods

It is an observational cross-sectional study done between 2017 and 2019. X-rays were anonymized by hiding the identification data. The BA and CAG were measured together and by two authors simultaneously. Each angle was measured two times. Two-sample T-test was chosen to compare the means of the values and the p value <0.05 was considered significant.

Results

Three hundred and eighty-four (n = 384) X-rays were studied. The average age of the patients was 41.73 years. The mean (°) of BA was 33.53 ± (SD) 6.78 (max = 46.35, min = 16.23) and the mean (°) of CAG was 115.90 ± (SD) 11.00 (max = 142.88, min = 90.22).

Conclusion

The distinct apprehension of the normal dispersion of Bohler's angle and the CAG is utmost needed for the clinical practice in a population (racial) group. So, it is praiseworthy to conduct a multicenter study over a large Indian population (considering racial variation) with inter and intra-rater reliability.

Cutaneous Myiasis of the Scalp Presenting as Bilateral Orbital Edema
Authors: Kaur Inderjit , Kaur Mandeep
Published: May 2021

Background

Myiasis is the infestation of live human tissues by the larvae of flies, more commonly known as maggots. Wound myiasis occurs when fly larvae infest open wounds. This kind of infestation may be the result of facultative or obligatory parasites. Treatment with application of mineral oil and manual removal of maggots is the usual routine.

Case description

We report a case of 19-year-old female presenting with bilateral orbital edema. The differential diagnosis of eyelid erythema and edema is broad, ranging from benign, self-limiting dermatoses to malignant tumors and vision-threatening infections. History revealed that she had cutaneous myiasis of the scalp for which she was treated with mineral oil and maggots were removed manually a day prior to presentation. Irritant dermatitis by trickling of the mineral oil led to bilateral edema in this case. A definitive diagnosis usually can be made on physical examination of the eyelid, a careful evaluation of symptoms and history of exposure.

Conclusion

Detailed history and meticulous workup can be of great help in the differential diagnosis of bilateral orbital edema.

Evaluation of Serum Calcium Levels in Patients with Epileptic Seizure
Authors: Fiza Bushra , Sinha Maheep , Sharma Shalu , Tiwari Sumit Kumar
Published: May 2021

Introduction

Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system, characterized by an epileptic seizure. Epileptic seizures occur due to abnormal synchronous activity in the brain. Calcium is an essential component of bone. Hypocalcemia enhances neuronal excitability, and there are many causes of which include hypocalcemia, vitamin D deficiency, and PTH resistance.

Materials and methods

The study was conducted in Department of Biochemistry in association with the Department of Neurology of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur. Fifty patients diagnosed for epileptic seizure and 50 controls, visiting the inpatient department (IPD) and outpatient department (OPD) of Neurology fulfilling the inclusion criteria, were enrolled for the study.

Result

The present study showed significantly lower level of serum calcium in patients with epileptic seizure when compared to controls.

Conclusion

The serum calcium was measured between epileptic seizure and controls. Our present study showed significantly lower value of calcium. It is therefore suggested that there should be regular screening for calcium in patients with epileptic seizure. The serum calcium is biomarker of bone metabolism; so, the correlation can be further studied with some more bone metabolism markers in epileptic seizure patients.

Effect of Minor Nb on Isothermal-Oxidation and Hot Corrosion Behavior of Two Nickel-Based Superalloys Under Na2SO4/Na2SO4-NaCl
Authors: Zhou Yuebo , Wang Hong , Mo Chenggang , Zhang Lina
Published: May 2021

Two nickel-based superalloys with and without minor Nb were prepared using double vacuum melting. The comparison of microstructure, isothermal-oxidation, and hot corrosion behavior under molten Na2SO4/Na2SO4+25 wt% NaCl at 900°C was evaluated. Results indicated that Nb accelerated the formation of chromia scale in a short transient stage, leading to a lower scaling rate. Nb also inhibited the internal oxidation/nitridation. Both significantly improved the hot corrosion resistance under Na2SO4. However, the beneficial effect of Nb is slight under mixed salts with NaCl. The beneficial effects of Nb on oxidation and hot corrosion are discussed in detail.
Parenting of 1.5 generation Chinese Americans’ parents: A case study
Authors: Zhou Yuyang , Jiang Xuan , Wang Changmi
Published: May 2021

Individuals who arrive in a new country during their childhood and early adolescence are referred to as the 1.5 generation. In this exploratory case study, five Chinese families were interviewed and examined about the effects of their parenting styles on those 1.5 generation Chinese American students. Findings revealed that these parents’ parenting styles—educational values, educational practices, and family dynamics—have exerted a great impact on the students’ academic performance, psychological well-being, and adaptation to their life in the US. Insights about comparisons between American and Chinese education will be inspiring to educators and scholars for culturally comparative analysis and mental health practitioners working with the adolescents of this ethnicity and their families.

The present work is mainly focused on preparing fast dissolving buccal films of Curcumin solid dispersion, since Curcumin is a poorly soluble drug. The main aim of this is to provide quick onset of action, improved bioavailability and also to increase the patient convenience of administration. The rate of dissolution can be increased by incorporating the solid dispersed drug into film which is prepared by HPMC-K100 as polymers, glycerin as a plasticizer, sorbitol as an antioxidant, Tween & Span as a non-ionic surfactant. The films were evaluated for their physiochemical parameters like disintegration time, surface pH, thickness, weight, percent moisture absorption, folding endurance, drug content and stability testing. The invention is to produce mucoadhesive buccal patches, which heals the lesion/ injury with replacing patches.
