Authors: Mandias Tania , Maru Mister Gidion , Maukar Merlin
Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to reveal about the decision making by Savannah and John in their love relationship in Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John. The writers employ qualitative method in conducting this research and in the data collection, the writers use primary source: the work itself Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John and secondary source: another references such as journals, books or internet sources which related and relevant to the research. In term of data analysis, the writers use psychoanalytic approach because decision making is so related with thoughts, emotions and environment. The study shows that when they are in a long distance relationship, they make a wrong decision too soon to end up their relationship just because of time, situation and feeling and they still love each other deeply when they meet again but it is too late to turn around the situation because Savannah has become someone else’s wife and it is impossible to break their mariage. The result of this study shows that when making a decision, John and Savannah prefer in id which means that they make a decision just because of their immediate satisfication that every wishful or pleasure should be satisfied without thinking about the consequences, if it brings a damage or profit in their future.

Restructured Legacies: Rebuking Popper's Autarkic Tradition by Unearthing Plato's Cosmopolitan Preferences
Authors: Grey Alexander
Published: August 2023

In 2019, Victor Davis Hason revived Popper's autarkic reading of Plato to justify the foreign policy of President Donald Trump, suggesting Trumpism aligns with Plato's project. This modern application compelled our re-examination of the autarkic tradition. Yet, the issues surrounding
this false tradition did not end with Trump's 2021 unseating; this use of Plato reveals broader, perennial questions around abusing philosophy for electoral ends. Building on the work of Carol Atack and Allan Bloom, we unearth a tradition of moderate cosmopolitanism and suggest this cosmopolitan
trend is the more accurate tradition of Plato and thus should be his enduring legacy.

THE EXPRESSION OF ANCIENT MOTIFS IN THE EPIC POEM «DOTAN BATYR»
Authors: Alpysbayeva K.B. , Akimova Т.Т. , Shashayeva G.K.
Published: August 2023

The ancient epic is composed of mythical, fairy-tale, and legendary events, which to a certain extent artistically imagine the thinking, consciousness, beliefs, and worldview of the people of the first community. In the network of heritages of this category, there are fantasy scenes, mythical concepts about creation, plots during the transition from the era of matriarchy to the era of patriarchy, hunting profession, belief in witchcraft, dreams and visions, praying for children from saints, rapid growth of heroes, suitable choosing a horse and going on a long journey, encountering difficulties on the way, marrying heroically, etc. events are reflected. Folk works such as "Kulamergen", "Surmergen", "Kubygul", "Dotan batyr", "Edil-Zhaiyk" have been preserved among the epics that have reached the form of eposes. If we focus on the epos "Dotan batyr" among them, this epos is an example of an ancient epic enriched by the later epic tradition, although mythical and fairy-tale motifs predominate in this epos. Therefore, in the content of the work, a significant place is given to the events that describe the warring times between the Kazakhs and the Kalmyks. However, these plots arise and develop due to the motif of the hero's journey in search of a bride, which is very common in ancient epics, and passing the test during that journey. The ancient way of life in the work, the long stay of the hero in the land of the bride, and the remnants of the matriarchal society, testify to the primitive nature of the epic. Therefore, our task is to determine the specific manifestations of the ancient motifs in the epos during the analysis of the epic work.
NARRATIVE AND HISTORICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Zhakulayev A.M. , Takirov S.U. , L.I. Mingazova
Published: August 2023

Lot of research has been done in literary studies around the problem of narrative and the narrator. The category of narrative is very complex, varied, and the ways it is conveyed in the fiction text are different. The concept of narratology is closely related to the activity of telling a story in a fiction text. Scholars in the study of narratology pay attention to its functions, ways of transmission, and specific features. If we consider history and the narrator in very close interaction, it is obvious that there is a specific function of the narrator in the transmission of historical discourse in the fiction text. In this article, within the framework of historical discourse, the activity of the narrator in the work of M. Magauin «Kipchak Beauty» is comparatively analyzed. The influence of the historical and artistic text on the historical consciousness through the narrator is studied. The research work in relation to the narrative was guided by the works of such scientists as M. Bakhtin, M. Lotman, V. Schmid, J. Jeannette, E. A. Popov. No one denies that bringing historical circumstances to the reader in a work of fiction deepens the essence of historical discourse. Consequently, each of these categories becomes an object of research in its own way, and although the theoretical features are scientifically differentiated and complicated, the article studies their integral reflection in the literary text. The article attempts to identify the features of the connection between narrative and historical discourse. In the course of the study, methods of comparison, comparison-analysis, interpretation, semantics were used. As a result of the research, the relationship between the category of narrative and historical discourse is revealed, the interpretation of historical facts by the narrator in a literary text is considered.
БАТЫС ӨҢІРДЕГІ МӘДЕНИ ДАМУДЫҢ ЖАҢА БЕЛЕСТЕРІ (Н.Жантөрин атындағы Маңғыстау облыстық қазақ музыкалық драма театры негізінде)

Published: August 2023

Ғылыми мақалада авторлар 2003 жылы шаңырақ көтерген Н.Жантөрин атындағы Маңғыстау облыстық қазақ музыкалық драма театрының қойылымдарын талдаған. Шығармашылық ұжымның қалыптасуы мен даму жолына назар аудара отырып, репертуардағы спектакльдердің көркемдік деңгейіне кәсіби баға берген. Мәселен, «38 немесе Қарақұрт» эксперименттік қойылымы арқылы жағымпаздықты, жалғандықты, ашкөздікті, қызғанышты әшкерелеген режиссердің ой-тұжырымын нақты дәлелдер арқылы ашып көрсетеді. Сондай-ақ, зерттеушілер «Бір түп алма ағашы» спектаклін театрдың табысты шыққан дүниелердің бірі деген қорытындыға келеді. Сол сияқты Г.Мерғалиеваның М.Әуезов пен С.Цвейгтің прозалық шығармаларын және жапон еліндегі цунамидің жер бетіне төндірген қаупін көркемдік тұрғыдан байланыстыра отырып сахналаған «Зілзала» спектакліне кеңінен тоқталған. Одан әрі авторлар «Іздедім сені» қойылымындағы Нази мен Әзиз арасындағы сүйіспеншілік сезімнің Б.Манкеева мен К.Ақүрпековтің лирикалық ойыны арқылы көрінгеніне тоқталады. Сондай-ақ, мұнда жас ұжымның аударма шығармаларды қоюдағы батыл қадамы кеңінен сөз болады. Соның ішінде Н.Птушкинаның жалғыздықты баяндайтын «Күтпеген махаббат» комедиялық мелодрамасында ойын көрсеткен Қ.Мырзалинова, А.Бисенбина және М.Өмірәлиевтің сахналық серіктесін түсініп ойнау үрдісі сараланған. Роль орындаушылардың өз кейіпкерлерінің әлеуметтік орнын, әрқайсысының өзіне тән мінез-құлқын шығарманың идеясына қарай бағыттап отырудағы ойынына баға берген. Және «Келіндер көтерілісі» комедиясындағы Фармон бибінің отбасындағы моральдық тартыстар, Ф.Эрвенің «Мадемуазель Нитуш» опереттасындағы әзіл-қалжың, өзара жарасымдылық немесе түсініспеушілік қақтығыстары мақалада жан-жақты айтылады. Қазақ сахналарына көп қойылатын «Ана – Жер ана» спектаклінің жаңа формасы мен Д.Жұмабаеваның өзгеше шешімі де авторлардың назарынан тыс қалмаған.

Published: August 2023

Мақалада Мұхтар Әуезовтің өмірі мен көркем прозасының, әсіресе «Абай жолы» роман эпопеясының жазылу барысы, оның орыс тіліне аударылу тәжірибесінің ХХІ ғасырдағы Ресей әдеби, мәдени, көркем сынында көрініс табуы, оларды әлемдік және одақтық көркемдік кеңістікте насихаттау, жариялау, талқылау, таныту мәселелері қарастырылған. Көрнекті суреткер, академик М.Әуезов жазған «Абай жолының» орыс тіліне аударылып, жариялануы ресей әдебиеттануында қызу талқыға түсуі, оның әдеби және саяси себеп-салдарына, оларды ұйымдастырудағы көрші ел әдебиетшілері мен сыншыларының шығармашылық және ғылыми әдістеріне талдау жасалды. Сондай-ақ ұлы суреткердің Абай туралы философиялық ойлары, шығармашылық мақсаты, бейнелеу тәсілдері барысындағы ізденістері мен суреткерлік шеберліктеріне орыс әдебиеттанушыларының бүгінгі көзқарастарына, бағаларына түрлі мақсаттағы, саяси, әдеби, ғылыми танымдарына, арнайы, мақсатты түрде жүргізілген жүйелі жұмыстарына ғылыми, әдебиеттану ғылымының кәсіби талабы бойынша теориялық тұрғыдан интерпретация жасалды. Осы күнге дейін бұл тақырып жан-жақты әрі түбегейлі зерттеле қойған жоқ. Және соңғы жылдары, әсіресе тәуелсіздік тұстары орыс әдебиетінде көптеген жарық көрген ғылыми зерттеулер, тарихи танымдық туындылар, өзге де архивтік құжаттар негізінде тың материалдар табылып, бұрынғы мәтіндерге беймәлім мұралар қосылып, жаңа көзқарастар, тың сараптамалар жасалауға мүмкіндіктер ашылып отыр. М.Әуезовтің өмірі мен шығармашылығына қатысты тың тарихи және әдеби деректер табылып, үлкен мәдени, әдеби дискурстарға дәнекер болуда. Жазушының «Абай жолы» романының тағдыры бойынша көптеген ғылыми зерттеу жұмыстар, монографиялар, танымды туындылар, тарихи құжаттар т.б. жарық көрді. Қазіргі технология заманының талабына сай әр түрлі ақпараттық электрондық арналар мен порталдардағы ақын өмірі мен шығармашылығына қатысты сенімді-сенімсіз ресурстар мазмұны М.Әуезов негізін қалап кеткен абайтану саласындағы мәңгілік мәтіндермен, тұрақты канондармен, ғылыми тұжырымдармен, тарихи деректермен салыстырмалы аспектіде қарастырылды. Мақалада М.Әуезовтің «Абай жолы» романындағы ақын бейнесінің көркем образына орыс әдебиетінде берілген бағаға бүгінгі көзқарас тұрғысынан салыстырмалы-салғастырмалы талдау жасалды. Нәтижесінде М.Әуезовтің ғылыми зерттеу еңбектері мен роман эпопеясындағы тарихи және көркем шындықтардың бір-бірімен тығыз үйлесімділігі, рухани үндестігі негізсіз еместігі, олардың орыс әдебиеттануында зерттелуінде, талқылануында саяси астар алып, ұлттық сөз өнеріндегі өнегелі тұстары өзгеше өң алып, көбінде бұрмаланып баға берілгені, талдаулардағы кеткен кемшіліктер бүгінгі ғылыми талап негізінде айқындалды.
ҚАЗІРГІ БАЛАЛАР ПОЭЗИЯСЫНДАҒЫ КӨРКЕМДІК ІЗДЕНІСТЕР (А.Асылбек шығармаларының негізінде)

Published: August 2023

Мақалада қазақ балалар әдебиетінің ірі өкілі Абдрахман Асылбектің шығармашылық әлеміне шолу жасалып, ақынның қаламгерлік қолтаңбасы айқындалады. Автор А.Асылбектің лирикалық туындыларына, ән өлеңдері мен ертегілеріне, сатиралық шығармаларына және балалар поэзиясының үздік үлгісі саналатын басқа да таңдаулы туындыларына талдау жасап, олардың көркемдік қырларына, тақырыптық-идеялық ерекшеліктеріне тоқталады. А.Асылбектің өлеңдері туралы баспасөз беттерінде жылы пікірлер айтылғанымен, оның шығармашылық портреті әдебиеттану ғылымының аясында жазылған емес. Тәуелсіздік тұсындағы қазақ балалар поэзиясы – көп зерттеле қоймаған тақырыптардың бірі. Ал осы бағытта қалам тербеген ақындардың шығармашылық лабораториясына үңіліп, сол арқылы қазіргі балалар поэзиясының беталысын бағамдау, көркемдік үрдістер туралы тұжырымдар жасау әдебиеттану ғылымының алдындағы өзекті мәселелердің бірі болып отыр.

Мақала авторы А.Асылбектің шығармашылығын толық қамтуға тырысып, сол арқылы оның өзіне тән ақындық машық-мәнеріне, қаламгерлік әлеуетіне, моральдық-этикалық нормаларды балаларға лайықтап жеткізудегі шеберлігіне және мысал жанрындағы көркем туындыларының тәрбиелік мәніне баға береді. Сонымен бірге, А.Асылбектің қазақ балалар әдебиетіне қосқан үлесін саралап, оның ақындық кредосын зерделейді.
Uso de cámara portátil para evaluar insecticidas sistémicos en Bactericera cockerelli Šulc (Hemíptera: Triozidae)
Authors: Delgado-Luna Carolina , Sánchez-Peña Sergio R. , Azuara-Dominguez Ausencio
Published: August 2023

Introducción. Los estudios de efectividad de los insecticidas se realizan mediante bioensayos de susceptibilidad. Las herramientas utilizadas para la evaluación deben ser flexibles, de bajo costo y que se puedan implementar en áreas remotas y con pocos recursos (Sternberg et al., 2014). Objetivo. Determinar la utilidad de la cámara portátil descrita por Delgado-Luna et al. (2023) en bioensayos con insecticidas sistémicos (Imidacloprid) sobre Bactericera cockerelli. Materiales y métodos. Se establecieron dos experimentos bajo un diseño completamente al azar con los siguientes tratamientos: T1= Agua (testigo), T2= 0.3 mL de i.a del insecticida/1 L de agua, T3= 0.15 mL de i.a / 1 L y T4 =0.05 mL de i.a /1 L de agua (cada tratamiento fue replicado 10 veces). Los tratamientos fueron evaluados en una cámara portátil con una planta de tomate de cinco semanas, con 3-4 hojas y sin raíz. En el experimento 1, los tratamientos (4.5 mililitros/tratamiento) fueron colocados en una solución contenida en el tubo de depósito de la cámara. Mientras que, en el experimento 2, los tratamientos (3 mililitros/tratamiento) fueron colocados sobre tres gramos de sustrato vertidos en el tubo de depósito de la cámara. En ambos experimentos, a las 24 h después de colocar los tratamientos, se colocaron 20 adultos de B. cockerelli por repetición, y la mortalidad fue registrada a las 24, 48 y 72 h. Los datos de mortalidad fueron sometidos a un ANOVA de dos factores con medidas repetidas en un factor, seguido de una comparación de medias de Tukey (0.05). Resultados y discusión. En ambos experimentos se observó diferencia estadística altamente significativa (P-valor=0.0001) entre los tratamientos. A las 72 horas, el T3 causó el mayor porcentaje de mortalidad (74 y 65.5%) de la población de adultos de B. cockerelli en el experimento 1 y 2. No obstante, el T3 generó fitotoxicidad en las plantas de tomate al ser evaluado en la solución, para minimizar es necesario evaluar este tratamiento usando plantas de tomate con raíz. Conclusión. En la cámara portátil fue posible documentar la efectividad biológica del insecticida sistémico imidacloprid en los adultos de B. cockerelli.

Introducción. El uso de productos botánicos para el manejo de plagas puede reducir el uso de plaguicidas químicos en la agricultura (Zandi-Sohani et al., 2012). En este sentido, los aceites esenciales (AE) y sus componentes representan una opción viable debido a los efectos tóxicos y repelentes sobre una amplia gama de ácaros e insectos plagas (Souto et al., 2021). Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de aceites esenciales, hidrosoles y compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COVs) de siete especies de plantas aromáticas con presencia en la península de Yucatán, y con potencial para el manejo de Bemisia tabaci Genn y Tetranychus urticae Koch bajo condiciones de invernadero. Métodos. El presente trabajo se integró en tres fases; en la fase uno se evaluó el efecto tóxico de los siete AE y dos hidrosoles, sobre las poblaciones de B. tabaci y T. urticae; en la fase dos, se compararon los efectos tóxicos del AE de Lippia origanoides Kunth, con sus principales COVs sobre T. urticae y B. tabaci; en la fase tres, los tratamientos más sobresalientes de las fases anteriores fueron evaluados en un paquete biorracional (botánicos experimentales) y comparados con dos paquetes comerciales (botánicos y químicos) para controlar las poblaciones de B. tabaci en un cultivo comercial de tomate. Se siguió un diseño completamente al azar, los datos de mortalidad se analizaron utilizando modelos lineales generalizados (GLM) con distribución gaussiana, y sus medias se compararon mediante una prueba de Bonferroni. Las densidades de población se analizaron por separado para cada tiempo de muestreo utilizando ANOVA de una vía y una prueba de Tukey para comparar las medias. Resultados y discusión. El AE de L. origanoides (90%) y el hidrosol de Plectranthus amboinicus Lour (85%) fueron los que causaron mayor mortalidad sobre las poblaciones de ambas plagas. Asimismo, el AE de L. origanoides causó más toxicidad (80 y 90%) que sus dos componentes. Los AEs como paquetes biorracionales resultaron igual de efectivos que el paquete químico convencional para controlar las poblaciones de B. tabaci en un cultivo comercial de tomate. Por lo tanto, el AE de L. origanoides es una opción más para ser integrado al manejo integrado de ambas plagas. Conclusión. El AE de Lippia origanoides a bajas concentraciones es capaz de controlar las poblaciones de B. tabaci y T. urticae.

Introducción. Las plantas cultivadas son afectadas por diversos fitopatógenos, los cuales se controlan mediante agroquímicos sintéticos que en su mayoría son tóxicos, contaminan el ambiente y con el tiempo seleccionan poblaciones resistentes del patógeno. Una opción para el control de patógenos es el uso de alternativas biológicas. Objetivo. Evaluar la efectividad de extractos bioactivos (EB) de Streptomyces spp. para el control de Fusarium oxysporum (Fox) en gladiolo y Meloidogyne incognita en chile habanero. Métodos. El EB de las cepas seleccionadas se obtuvo a partir de la fermentación en fase sólida (Evangelista-Martínez et al., 2022) de las cepas de Streptomyces. La concentración mínima inhibitoria (CMI) del EB sobre el hongo se determinó in vitro y se determinó la protección del EB en cormos de gladiolo infectados experimentalmente con Fox, la turgencia de los cormos tratados se registró mediante un texturómetro digital Shimatzu cada 5 días (Ríos-Hernández et al., 2021). Por otro lado, plantas de habanero fueron inoculados experimentalmente con juveniles (J2) y masas de huevecillos de Meloidogyne, después de dos aplicaciones del EB (20 y 40%), a los 72 días después del trasplante (ddt), se cuantificaron variables relacionados al patógeno y de la planta. Resultados y discusión. Los cormos tratados con el EB 0.19 mg/mL y 0.38 mg/mL mantuvieron la turgencia en comparación con los demás tratamientos, lo que sugiere protección a la infección, información confirmada en condiciones in vitro. Las plantas de chile habanero 72 ddt mostraron el menor índice de agallamiento, número de J2/cada 100g de suelo, número de hembras por gramo de raíz teñida y número de huevecillos por gramo de raíz licuada (p≤0.05) en comparación con el control absoluto y control regional. Conclusión. Los extractos bioactivos aplicados en cormos de gladiolo protegieron de manera efectiva contra la pudrición de F. oxysporum, además el EB al 20 y 40% de Streptomyces redujo las poblaciones del nematodo en la planta y en los suelos con habanero infectado experimentalmente.

Authors: You Ren
Published: August 2023

The three-creativity integrated curriculum system teaching is a new teaching mode, aiming at cultivating students' innovative thinking, entrepreneurial spirit and innovative skills. At present, higher education gradually carries out three-creativity teaching, although it has obtained certain results, so that students' innovative thinking, spirit and professional quality continue to improve, laying the foundation for the future. However, due to the lack of experience in the teaching of the "Three-creativity integration" curriculum system, the curriculum design is not perfect, and the teachers' insufficient cognition of the teaching of the "Three-creativity integration" curriculum system and the teaching methods are not reasonable enough, which then affects the teaching effect of the "Three-creativity integration" curriculum system. Therefore, this paper will discuss the concept, characteristics and implementation strategies of the three-creativity integrated curriculum system teaching, aiming to provide some feasible teaching programs and ideas for educators and promote the development of higher education.

Published: August 2023

Micronesian and Pacific Islander (M&PI) communities were hit the hardest with COVID-19 cases, 154 to 217.7 per 100,000, compared to other racial-ethnic groups, particularly in the western United States. In Oregon, COVID-19 cases and death rates among M&PI were higher than all other racial and ethnic groups. Micronesian Islander Parent Leaders (MIPLs, including parents and caregivers of children) of the expanded Health and Education parent leadership program in Oregon express concern about the COVID-19 impact on their health and M&PI families and learning on children. Investment in leadership development is shown to have often increased acceptance, development, implementation, and translation of interventions within the M&PI communities. The COVID-19 pandemics’ impact on CBPR must be recognized when conducting CBPR. Consequences include interrupted formal education and parents’ mental health as unintentional proxy educators for children as students with distance learning. We report on a qualitative descriptive study on the COVID-19 impact on the learning of MIPLs and their families, with MIPLs being caregivers as key informants. We describe lessons learned as notes from the field from our experience as the Micronesian Islander Community (MIC) non-profit organization and public Washington State University as a community and academic partnership navigating the COVID-19 impact in conducting CBPR. This community and educational partnership had two major responsive pivots in navigating the COVID-19 impact in working with CBPR. The shift in the project was a necessary methodical resilient strategy for the sustainability of the M&PI parent leadership program.

Published: August 2023

Working with cardinal numbers is undoubtedly an integral part of our everyday life, which tells us about quantity. They are used for instance, in numeracy lessons, on receipts, slips, tellers in banks, to represent figures on documents, to tell time and are often represented inconsistently. However, the words form representations are often inconsistent with the standard Hausa. Standard Hausa as compared to other languages such as Arabic and British English, the Numeric System is characterized by a multitude of concatenations as well as dialect variations which causes misinterpretations and confusion.  Also, initial findings show that no such automation published work has been done specifically in the numerical system of Standard Hausa language. In order to fill the gap, this study proposed an algorithm for converting numerals to words for the numeric system of Hausa language automatically in standard practice. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of iteration and mapping structures algorithm for converting numeral to cardinal form in standard Hausa language. The algorithm has been tested on approximately one hundred million sequences of numbers produced accurate results. The results showed that our method is successful in automating conversion of numerals to words with a high precision.

Transition metal carbides are recently considered to be potential substitutes to platinum counter electrode due to their low cost, high catalytic activity and good thermal stability. In this paper, we investigate the structural, electronics, and optical properties of one of the transition metal carbides (Cr3C). The structural and electronic properties were computed using the first principles approach, a generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA) as exchange correlation functional within density functional theory (DFT) was used for the calculations. The optimized lattice parameters of the compound were  = 4.525 Ǻ,  = 5.186 Ǻ, = 6.659 Ǻ and ∝ = β = γ = 90.00which are in agreement with number of theoretical and experimental results. The calculated band gap and density of state (DOS) of this compound reveals the presence of Valence Band Maximum (VBM) and Conduction Band Minimum (CBM) at different symmetry point with the intersection of several energy bands crossing the Fermi level, this interaction indicate a metallicity nature and may cost the conductive nature of the material to have sufficient electro-catalytic ability for the reduction of I3- ions in counter electrode of DSSCs. The optical properties are calculated from the spectra of dielectric function alongside with the other related optical properties like energy loss function, reflectivity, refractive index, extinction coefficient and conductivity within a continuous energy range of 0 to 16eV. The obtained results of the optical properties of this material show that the materials can be use as possible candidates for counter electrode of DSSC.

Published: August 2023

The present occurrence of drug resistance by most microorganisms has posed an enormous problem in the health care and triggered the need for continuous research for better and safe therapeutic agents. Securidaca longipedunculata is locally used in treating skin infections. Thus this study was designed to investigate the phytochemical constituents and antimicrobial activities of methanol leaf extract of Securidaca longipedunculata against Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans which are known to cause skin infections. Antimicrobial activity against the organisms was determined using agar well diffusion method. Four concentrations of the leaf extract were prepared and used in the study (800 mg/ml, 400 mg/ml, 200 mg/ml, and 100 mg/ml). Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) of the extract were also analysed. Upon extraction, the phytochemical constituents of the leaf were found to be carbohydrate, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, cardiac glycosides, tanins and anthraquinones. There was no activity observed at 200 and 100 mg/ml concentrations of the extract on all the test organisms. For the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) test against all the tested bacterial isolates, the MIC was found to be 400 mg/ml. In the MBC test, the test showed that S. pyogenes and S. aureus were not killed by the leaf extract but rather they were inhibited from growing this is the same with C. albicans in the MFC.

Ethanol is an important chemical with its potential as a biofuel to displace the environmentally unfriendly fossil fuels. Isolation and identification of ethanol and thermo-tolerant yeast capable of producing ethanol were carried out in this study. Seventy (70) samples from different fermented foods and agricultural wastes from millets, sorghum, maize, rice and guinea corn were obtained from local sellers in Panteka, Farin-Gida, Barkallahu and Barnawa in Kaduna State (North West), Nigeria were used in this research. The samples were collected using a sterile plastic container and were transported immediately to the Biotechnology laboratory of the Nigerian Defence Academy in iced chamber.
They were serially diluted in distilled water and inoculated on yeast extract peptone dextrose agar (YEPD) media plates supplemented with 0.2% chloramphenicol. The plates were incubated at 30°C for 72 hours and developed colonies were sub-cultured to obtain pure culture which was observed for their morphological and microscopic characteristics. After examination, ten (10) yeast isolates were obtained from the seventy (70) samples collected. Flocculation test, Hydrogen sulphide test, preliminary alcohol production and sugar fermentation test were carried out on the isolates and their tolerance to ethanol at varying concentration 5%-20% (v/v) and temperature at 37oC-45oC were studied. Using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 and 2 regions primer, the DNA were sequenced and the isolates identified. Four isolates FG 17, FG 27, P1 and BN50 showed ethanol tolerance potentials at 20% ethanol and were identified as strains of Diutina rugosa, Candida sp, Candida ethanolica and Candida tropicalis while one isolate FG 35 showed good thermo-tolerance ability at 45oC and was identified as Trichosporon sp.
