Synopsis of Cybersecurity and Risks Associated with Cybercrime to Susceptible and Blameless Global Citizenries
Authors: Egete David O. , Ele Bassey I. , Eko Ceasar E.
Published: October 2023

Cybercrime, a collapse of the world economy, social and economic insecurity are all continual threats to the global society. Our interconnected, global civilization will soon be affected negatively and economically by the rapidly evolving cybersecurity challenge. Leaders of both developed and developing countries must be ready to launch a defence strategy against those who carry out cybersecurity attacks. In the past, local, national, and worldwide communications relied on radio networks, conventional mail systems, and fax machines to send data and documents. This paper critically performed a synopsis of cybersecurity and the risks associated with cybercrime to susceptible and blameless global citizenries. The world's transmission and communication processes are now controlled by the culture of high definition television, broadband direct connection, electronic mail, Internet access, and cyber-technology. All segments of the global innocent population are constantly at risk as a result of the excessive rate of advancement in cyber-technology. Attacks on blameless people in Paris and San Bernardino serve as a reminder to leaders of developed and developing countries to develop cyber security-savvy workforces in order to avert future catastrophes. Cybercrime poses a grave threat to the physical wellbeing of innocent members of the society worldwide. Individuals, governmental bodies, businesses, financial institutions, and higher education systems are all at risk from cybercriminals operating in isolation. The establishment of a unified front to cooperate via confidence, dedication, and commitment must be among the most credible and reliable approaches to stop cybercriminals today and in the future. All facets of international organizations and educational settings are being affected by cybersecurity concerns. The exchange of ideas, values, and beliefs as well as the teaching and learning process are all parts of the culture of the educational enterprise. Presidents, vice chancellors, professors, instructors, and other educators are urged to develop a plan of action to safeguard the infrastructure, critical data, and other assets of the entire educational system against cyber-attacks. The unanticipated events in Paris, France, and San Bernardino, California, in the United States, are a persistent trend and a decisive step that empowers national and higher education leaders, professors, instructors, and allied educators to put in place a well-organized action plan, efficient security measures, and workforces to neutralize perpetrators' malign intent to destroy all the institutions of human civilization. According to the research findings, a Global Collaborative Partnership (GCP) should be established with policies and directives to offer steady security to vulnerable global citizens. Additionally, as part of the GCP ground plan, software designers must have preventative built-in capabilities to deter cybercriminals.
A Man Called Lister
Authors: Hinzpeter Jaime C.
Published: October 2023

Lister has gone down in history as the father of antiseptic surgery. Following Pasteur’s ideas, Lister looked for a chemical substance with which to annihilate germs. After several tests he arrived at carbolic acid (today called phenol), a compound extracted from creosote that at that time was used to prevent the rotting of railway sleepers. In 1865 and after some dubious beginnings, he for the first time managed to heal the open fracture in the leg of a child hit by a car without infection. More than a century and a half later, the methods and substances have changed. From today’s perspective, such generous use of the corrosive and toxic phenol, which today is handled with special care in laboratories, may be surprising. But today we are left with Lister’s revolutionary idea that drew the line between ancient and modern surgery.

Published: October 2023

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health organization (WHO) on 11th March 2020. Therefore, being declared a global emergency, had undergone various mutations, therefore its effect on education was far reaching. The purpose of the study was to establish the COVID-19 effects on curriculum delivery in secondary schools in Kakamega county.This study was guided by the theory of planned behaviour postulated by Ajzen. The study employed a descriptive survey research design whereby mixed research method was utilized to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. The study targeted public secondary schools in Kakamega County, Kenya, whereby one hundred and ninety-five (195) school principals and one thousand five hundred and ninety (1590) teachers were the targeted population. The study applied stratified sampling in obtaining the 59 secondary schools thus, 59 principals and 159 teachers. The study employed stratified random sampling to put schools in strata that is 15 boy public secondary schools, 15 girls public secondary schools and 29 mixed public secondary schools totaling up to 59 public secondary schools. Purposive sampling technique was used to select school principals since they belonged to public secondary schools in the strata, which provided the required information for the objectives of the study. Data was collected using questionnaire for teachers. Interview schedules was also used to collect data from the school principals. Research instruments were availed to supervisors who ascertained the relevance of the items hence validity of the instruments. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data was coded and analyzed thematically. Quantitative analysis involved use of frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation, Spearman correlation analysis and regression analysis. The collected data was presented using pie-charts, frequency tables and mean tables. The study concluded that COVID-19 had adverse effects on curriculum delivery.

Published: October 2023

As part of their managerial assignments, Principals are expected to play a central role in enhancing teacher job satisfaction so as to achieve the desired results. The study sought to establish the principal’s role in recognition of teachers’ performance and teachers’ job satisfaction in public secondary schools in Bungoma South Sub- county. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The target population was 969 respondents and 61 public secondary schools in Bungoma South sub-county. Simple random sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 272 teachers and 19 principals. Self-administered questionnaires for Principals and teachers were used to collect data. Experts in the Department of Educational Planning and Management at Kibabii University ascertained content validity of the research instruments. Piloting of the instruments was conducted in two schools in the neighbouring sub-county that did not participate in the actual study. Test retest was used to ascertain the reliability of study instruments. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics which included mean, t-tests, range and standard deviation and inferential statistics which included person regression coefficient. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used for data analysis. The findings were presented in tables, figures and thematic discussions. The study revealed that there was a strong positive correlation between principal recognizing the value of teacher’s hard work and teachers job satisfaction levels [r=0.657, p<0.05]. Meanwhile, principal recognizing teachers hard work, principal praising teachers for good performance and principal providing financial benefits for good performance had statistically significant positive effect on teacher job satisfaction levels [β=0.204, p<0.05), (β=0.147, p<0.05) and (β=0.196. p<0.05) respectively.

I’m on a public mailing list that was initially set up for delegates of the OSI2016 conference. In a recent email to that list, I pointed out that we can never know whether or not publishers are double-dipping (accepting APCs and subscriptions for the same content) unless they are totally transparent about their finances — and nothing in their history makes it likely that that’s ever going to happen.
Is it time to rethink the private/public distinctions for museums?

 Prologue  Back when I started writing about issues in scholarly publishing, I would sometimes write about the distinction between for-profit (bad) and non-profit (good) publishers. While I still recognise this as an issue, thinking it through over the last few years has made it clear that this distinction is largely orthogonal to the one that really matters — which is between open and non-open publishers.

Published: October 2023

An outbreak of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection in December 2019 in Wuhan, a province of Chi¬na, has caused a worldwide pandemic that led to devastating effects on healthcare systems and the econ¬omy worldwide. The contagiousness of the infection and the consequences of the disease in everyday life highlighted the great need for a suitable treatment against coronavirus as soon as possible. Therefore, lots of scientists all around the world focused on the discovery of a proper therapy against the virus. The pres¬ent article explains the structure of the virus, the pathophysiology of the infection with SARS-CoV-2, and various therapies against SARS-CoV-2. The first data that concern the effectiveness of vaccines from the countries that have already started mass vaccinations are positive. However, it is very early to conclude about the efficacy of vaccines in the population. The appearance of novel virus mutations raises concerns and forces some countries to impose further restrictions. The latest and the most contagious variant, known as Omicron, seems to decrease the global pandemic significantly. New SARS-CoV-2 therapies are suggest¬ed based on antisense technology.

Published: October 2023

In this study evaluation of the beneficial properties and survival for eight LAB putative probiotic strain was conducted including their ability to survive at different ox-bile concentrations and in the models representing different parts of digestive tract, ability to produce diacetyl, GABA and specific enzymes. The survival rates and release rates of the cells under the SSDP and AOS models were evaluated by encapsula¬tion using sodium alginate. Interaction between studied LAB and the pathogen in the artificial oral saliva was evaluated. Streptococcus salivarius ST48HK, ST59HK, ST61HK and ST62HK generated positive results for gadL and only Lactobacillus gasseri ST16HK for gadP, genes associated with GABA production. According to bio¬chemical approach in the evaluation of GABA production, strains Str. salivarius ST48HK, ST59HK, and Lactobacillus sakei ST69HK can be considered as the most promising producers, even if other evaluated strains showed levels of assimilation of sodium glutamate. Overall, tests for the beneficial properties, survival rate for the planktonic and encapsulated strains under different ox-bile conditions, SSDP, AOS models, indicates that the studied strains can be promising candidates for oral probiotics application. Evaluation of probiotic properties of new strains is a complex process, with essential basic requirement – survival in the different parts of digestive tract, stability for the extended storage time, expression of beneficial properties and safety characteristics. We have evaluated Str. salivarius ST48HK, ST59HK, ST61HK, and ST62HK, L. plantarum ST63HK and ST66HK, L. sakei ST69HK, and L. gasseri ST16HK as putative probiotics, promising candi-dates for complementary animals’ studies and future human applications.
Association Between Naegleria fowleri and Bacteria, its Cytotoxicity and Protein Activity by Monosaccharides
Authors: Jung S-Y.
Published: October 2023

Naegleria fowleri is a brain-eating amoeba that inhabits freshwater and causes acute primary amoebic encephalitis (PAME). Studies on the importance of monosaccharides for the contact-dependent mechanism of free-living amoeba have been reported. In this study, association tests were analyzed to understand the contact-dependent mechanism of N. fowleri trophozoites with bacteria by monosaccharides. In addition, the cytotoxicity and proteolytic activity of N. fowleri by monosaccharides were analyzed. Salmonella typhi association by 100 mM mannose was inhibited by about 217% compared to the monosaccharide untreated control. The association of pathogenic S. typhi was about 180% higher than that of nonpathogenic Escher¬ichia coli. However, galactose, another monosaccharide, did not show the inhibitory effect of mannose. The cytotoxicity of the 50mM and 100mM mannose-treated groups was inhibited by 35.9% and 59.4%, respectively (P<0.05). On the other hand, in the 100 mM group treated with galactose, cytotoxicity was in¬hibited by about 25.8%. The activity of N. fowleri trophozoites proteolytic enzyme was maximized by 100 mM mannose but had little effect by galactose at a concentration of 0 to 100 mM. Taken together, it was confirmed that the pathogen-host interaction could be mediated by monosaccharides and that mannose and galactose could act as important mediators for N. fowleri trophozoites even though the galactose-induced proteolytic enzyme activity of N. fowleri trophozoites was weak.
Current Status of COVID-19-Associated Secondary Bacterial and Fungal Infection: A Mini Review
Authors: Jayakumar D. , Kumar P. , Mini M. , Khan S.
Published: October 2023

More than 550 million individuals have been affected by the devastating COVID-19 epidemic, claim¬ing more than 6.3 million lives worldwide. Secondary bacterial or fungal infections are one of the signifi¬cant manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia. This mini review aims to understand the current status of secondary bacterial or fungal infections in COVID-19 patients. The prevalence of secondary bacterial or fungal infections or co-infections is one of the significant factors influencing mortality among COVID-19 patients. Secondary infections are caused by various bacterial and fungal pathogens, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., Cryptococcus spp. and Mucormycetes. Anti-microbial treatment is more challenging in COVID-19 pandemic because multidrug-resistant organisms cause most secondary microbial infections. The continuous monitoring of the prevalence and emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and rational use of antibiotics are warranted during pandemic times.

Published: October 2023

Diabetes provides an underlying basis for the inability of the body to control infection. Candida albi¬cans has been reported to colonize and cause severe infections in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of virulence and antifungal resistance among C. albicans isolates from subjects with type 2 diabetes. Two hundred forty-five and one hundred non-repeat samples were collected from diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, respectively. Cultural and molecular methods were used to confirm the identity of C. albicans isolated from the urine, saliva, and wound samples of the subjects. The presence of virulence factors among the isolated C. albicans and their susceptibility to antifungals were detected using standard microbiological methods. Of the 345 subjects screened in this study, 123 (35.65%) were male, and 222 (64.35%) were female. The prevalence of Candida species was highest among subjects within the 31- 59 years age group. Candida species were recovered from 149 and 49 diabetic and non-diabetic patients, respectively. Apart from C. albicans [n=112 (56.57%)], C. glabrata (n=46 [23.23%]), C. tropicalis [n=13 (6.57%)], and C. krusei [n=5 (2.53%)] also recovered from the subjects. In this study, non-albicans Can¬dida had a lower percentage of virulence factors than C. albicans. Most of the isolates were susceptible to fluconazole and nystatin. There was a correlation between diabetes and C. albicans infections. Candida albicans from diabetic patients were more resistant to the tested antifungals than those from non-diabetic subjects.

Development Of A Robust And Reliable Induction Surface Hardening Process For Sintered Steel Components
Authors: Iss Valérian , Ulferts Alexander , Rajaei Ali , Broeckmann Christoph
Published: October 2023

Induction hardening enables to control the properties of the surface layer of components through suitable process parameters. This heat-treatment is characterized by short process times, low energy costs, high reproducibility and low distortion levels. With sintered steels, however, the risk of cracking in induction hardened components is high due to low thermal conductivity, reduced ductility and high residual stresses [1]. Large scale deployment of induction hardening for sintered steel components requires deeper understanding of the relationships between material and process parameters. In this work, the relevant material data, such as the phase transformation behavior of different alloys, is determined. Induction hardening tests on components made of sintered steels are carried out with systematic variation of both material properties (carbon concentration, porosity) and process conditions (heating, quenching and tempering parameters), in order to link these interacting parameters with the resulting microstructure, hardness, residual stresses and susceptibility to cracking.

The Significance Of The Living Law Concept In The New Criminal Code: A Perspective Of Progressive Law
Authors: Khoirunnisa,  , Didi Jubaidi
Published: October 2023

Discussions on the Indonesian Criminal Code (New Criminal Code) continue to develop and become the spotlight for various parties involved in the legal world. One aspect that has drawn criticism is the concept of law that lives in society, which in legal literature is often referred to as "living law". The regulation of law that lives in society is an idea that involves the interaction between written legal norms and developments and changes in society. This research will deeply analyze the importance of living law regulation in Indonesia's New Criminal Code from a progressive legal perspective. This research is designed using the normative juridical method, which refers to legal analysis based on existing regulations. The research results validate the necessity of incorporating provisions on living law regulation in the New Criminal Code, as it plays a crucial role in safeguarding legal certainty and upholding the continuity of customary law in Indonesia. The regulation of living law is aligned with the principles of the progressive law enforcement method’.

Chaque âge a ses faveurs… et ses fléaux : Évaluation de l’influence de la date de fondation de la marque (DFM) sur l’attitude envers la marque à l’aide d’une fsQCA
Authors: ALEMANY OLIVER Mathieu
Published: October 2023

This research addresses a rather ordinary managerial problem whose answer is often—and wrongly—built from common sense: Should I mention my brand’s date of establishment on my logotype and more generally communicate it, especially when it is old? A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis shows that communicating the establishment date does not always lead to a positive attitude of the consumer towards the brand. The presence of the establishment date on the logotype can even be harmful for some brands.

Published: October 2023

Relying on two case studies, this paper investigates how new knowledge produced by internal communities is integrated in the hosting firms’ activities and procedures. Its main contribution highlights the key role played by boundary structures lying at the interface between communities and the managerial strata of the organization. These structures are instrumental in the boundary work underpinning integration: aligning the communities’ outputs with the firms’ strategy and negotiating their acceptance by top managers. Their role goes beyond a mere diffusion process and includes combining and adapting the managerial and communitarian logics while preserving the autonomy and internal functioning of communities. Due to their collective character, this integration mechanism differs from the sponsor-leader dyad found in the literature on communities.

Authors: Jindal SK , Dhaliwal MS
Published: October 2023

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important spice-cumvegetablecrop of the family Solanaceae. India is thelargest producer, consumer and exporter of chillies inthe world. Generally, the transplanting of chilli is donein February-March in North Indian plains and crop endsby October-November. However, there are some areasin Punjab where the chilli crop is transplanted in midNovember under low tunnels to get early crop and thiscrop ends in June which is followed by late paddyvarieties/Basmati crop. Thus, two crops in a rotation ispracticed by transplanting chilli under low tunnel. Themajor bottleneck in this low tunnel cultivation is nonavailabilityof suitable variety/hybrid. Therefore

Six genotypes of bell pepper viz. Red Capsicum, YellowCapsicum, Violet Capsicum (colored capsicums) and EC579997, DARL 70, CW-51 (Green capsicums) were evaluatedat Defence Institute of Bio-Energy Research, Field Station,Pithoragarh. Data were recorded for their yield and yieldattributing traits, antioxidant constituents and antioxidantactivity. The antioxidant activity of these genotypes hasbeen estimated by ABTS and DPPH methods. Antioxidantconstituents viz. ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, tannincontent, phenolic contents, total carotenoids, totalflavonoids content were also estimated. The results showedsignificant differences for all the characters studied amongthese genotypes. Fruit length, fruit circumference, fruitweight, 1000 seed weight and seed yield were found thecontributing characters for yield improvement. Theantioxidant constituents and antioxidant activity in bellpepper were found in increasing order in colored fruits ratherthan green fruits. Red Capsicum was found the best towardsquantitative traits and antioxidant potential followed byYellow Capsicum and Violet Capsicum cultivars.

A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural ResearchFarm, Department of Horticulture, Institute of AgriculturalSciences, B.H.U., Varanasi, UP to investigate the effect ofdifferent gamma rays and EMS concentrations on growthand yield of brinjal genotypes in M3 generation. Theexperimental material comprised of three genotypes of brinjali.e. Banarasi Gol, Kashi Taru and Kashi Uttam and thedifferent concentration of mutagens i.e. gamma rays (5, 10,15 and 20kR) and EMS (0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20% EMS).These mutagens were studied for growth, yield attributesand yield of all three genotypes. The result recorded all thegrowth and yield traits were decreased as the concentrationof both the mutagens increased. The 5kR gamma rays and0.05% EMS was recorded superior with maximum value ofall characters in these treatments. The fruit yield per plantwas increased under 5kR by 39.77, 31.32 and 18.26 % andunder 0.05% EMS 6.62, 4.81 and 2.56% in Banarasi Gol, KashiTaru and Kashi Uttam, respectively over control. The overallexperimental findings showed that the seed treatments withhigher dose of mutagens were negatively responsive for allcharacters including yield of genotypes.
Inheritance of fruit colour, fruit ridge pattern and related traits through generation mean analysis in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.)
Authors: Prasanth K , Varalakshmi B
Published: October 2023

Analysis of generation means in P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2generations of two bitter gourd crosses viz., IIHR Sel-5-8 ×IIHR-144-1 and Arka Harit × IIHR-144-1 were performed todetermine the nature of gene action governing fruit traits.All the parents and generations differed significantly forthe observed traits. For the cross IIHR Sel-5-8 × IIHR-144-1,Chi-square tests in the segregating generations for fruitcolour and fruit ridge pattern were fitted well with theMendelian phenotypic ratio of 3:1. This indicates that greenfruit colour of bitter gourd is governed by single dominantgene and is dominant over white fruit colour. Fruit ridgepattern indicated that the discontinuous ridge of bitter gourdis also governed by monogenic dominant gene and isdominant over continuous ridge. All the quantitative traitsstudied (peduncle length, fruit length and fruit girth) showednon-allelic gene interaction in both the crosses indicatingpresence of epistatic gene action. Nature of gene actionvaried with the character and among crosses and bothadditive and non-additive gene action was involved inexpression of the characters having the duplicate epistasis.This indicates use of reciprocal recurrent selection forimprovement of these traits and also the possibilities ofarriving at better transgressive segregants by selfing thehybrids developed using such selected materials.

The present study was carried out to induce rooting insingle- and double-node cuttings of Momordica dioicaRoxb. variety Indira Kankoda-2 (RMDSG-3) under controlledconditions and to investigate associated biochemicalchanges during root development. The cuttings were treatedwith six different concentrations of IBA (0, 1100, 1200, 1300,1400, 1500 mg/l) at four soaking durations (5, 10, 15 and 20second). Among five concentrations of IBA tested, 1500mg/l IBA + 5 seconds soaking duration gave the highestpercentage of rooting, number of roots, and root length inboth single and double node stem cuttings. As a result, IBA1500 mg/l was used further in this investigation forbiochemical studies. The adventitious rooting was obtainedin three distinct phases i.e., induction (0–12 days), initiation(12–14 days) and expression (14–18 days). IAA-oxidaseactivity of cuttings treated with IBA increased slightly ascompared to control, this activity was found to decreaseduring induction and initiation phases and increase duringthe expression phase. The peroxidase activity of cuttingstreated IBA-1500 mg/l increased up to initiation phase anddecreased during the expression phase. Polyphenoloxidaseenzyme activity/mg protein/min increased in both treated(0.9-1.75) and control (0.5-0.8) cuttings during induction andinitiation phase but declined slowly during the expressionphase. Total phenolic content was measured in mg/gm freshweight, and it was found to be higher (6.55 mg/g fresh weight)in IBA- 1500 mg/l treated cuttings, particularly in initiationand expression phases, and it was also positively correlatedwith peroxidase activity. Phenolic compounds may be usedas a rooting enhancer in spine gourd, and they can play akey role in inducing adventitious rooting. IBA is foundefficientin spine gourd rooting, and by utilizing this protocoli.e., double node cuttings treated with 1500 ppm IBA for 5seconds duration, spine gourd can be commerciallypropagating.

In this investigation, twenty-five genotypes of cauliflower(Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) were selected. Thesamples were uniformly processed keeping all the processingvariables (thermal and drying time) constant and dried to ashelf stable product. The effects on moisture content,ascorbic acid, rehydration ratio, antioxidant capacity andsensory acceptability of the product obtained wasinvestigated initially and at the end of storage period. Theinitial moisture content in the dried cauliflower samplespresented values around 4% which increased toapproximately 7% at the end of storage period of 180 days.The initial values for ascorbic acid were found to be in therange of 33.8-41.7 mg/100 g DW, while on the final day ofstorage lowest (30.4 mg/100 g DW) was observed in entry2020CAUMVAR4. The difference between genotypes wasnoted for rehydration ratio. Remarkably, good rehydrationratio >3 was observed in all cauliflower genotypes. However,it was observed that 2018CAUMVAR1 performed the bestin terms of rehydration ratio and sensory acceptability. Theresults are useful to identify cauliflower genotypes moreamenable for processing.

Nursery of solanaceous vegetable crops severely infectedby damping - off. Commercial cultivation of solanaceousvegetables are depends on healthy and disease free seedlingsunder nursery condition in fields. Seed treatments are mostcost effective and commonly used delivery system for bioagentsand fungicides. Nine modules comprises three talcbased fungal [Trichoderma viride- 1 (IIVR–BATF-39-1), T.viride-2 (IIVR-BATF-43-1), Trichoderma harzianum -Kalyanpur)], two bacterial (Bacillus subtilis (IIVR-BS2,Pseudomonas fluorescens -Kalyanpur) formulations andfour fungicides (carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP,pencycuron 250 SC, fosetyl-Al 80% WP, fenamidone 10% +mancozeb 50% (WP) were evaluated under nursery oftomato, brinjal and chilli in kharif season during 2016-2018.Among tested bio-formulations of bio-agents Bacillussubtilis (IIVR-BS2 ) was found effective for highestgermination percentage in tomato (84.77) and brinjal (66.81)and lowest incidence of damping off 15.22% and 33.18%,repectively whereas cost benefit ratio (CBR) 1: 79.98 (tomatovar. Kashi Aman) and 1: 36.69 (brinjal var Kashi Taru) wererecorded. However, among all tested modules, a fungicidecarbendazim 12% WP + mancozeb 63% WP was foundmost effective in chilli for highest germination percentage(86.58), vigour index (479.52) and lowest incidence ofdamping off (13.30) with cost benefit ratio (CBR) 1: 90.79.Hence, use of bio-agent Bacillus subtilis (IIVR-BS2)3.92×1011 cfu/g in tomato and brinjal; however, combiproductof carbendazim (12%) and mancozeb (63%) in chilli may berecommended for management of damping off in nursery.
