A globális geopolitika “nyers” egyensúlya és az új harc Afrikáért
Authors: Byrappa Ramachandra
Published: August 2024

Úgy tűnik, az utóbbi időben mindenki az afrikai kontinens egy darabját akarja, felelevenítve a „sötét kontinens” 19. századi európai gyarmatosításához való visszatérésről szóló emlékeket. Az olyan európai országok, mint Franciaország, az olyan feltörekvő hegemón versenyzők, mint a kommunista Kína, és az olyan újjáéledő hatalmak, mint Törökország, neokolonialista terjeszkedésétől való félelmek talán elhamarkodottak vagy alaptalanok. Az Afrikáért indult verseny okai viszonylag egyszerűek. Afrika valódi erőt nyer a fent említett hatalmakkal szembeni védekezéshez, mert Afrikának új és erős támogatói vannak, némelyik aktív, némelyik nem, és ezek az államok stratégiai okokból támogatni akarják Afrika valódi fejlődését. Az olyan hatalmak, mint Oroszország, „nyersanyagblokkot” akarnak létrehozni, hogy valódi egyensúlyt teremtsenek az épülő új világrendben. Már nem a „liberális” Nyugat áll szemben a kommunista Kínával, hanem egy új versenytárs van a láthatáron – létrejön „nyersanyagblokk”, amelynek középpontjában Afrika áll.

La esclavitud sexual de mujeres migrantes en México: el modus operandi de los victimarios
Authors: Izcara Palacios Simón Pedro
Published: August 2024

Este artículo está basado en una metodología cualitativa sustentada en entrevistas en profundidad con 76 mujeres migrantes víctimas de esclavitud sexual en México seleccionadas por el procedimiento del muestreo en cadena. El objetivo es analizar los modus operandi utilizados por los grupos criminales involucrados en México en la esclavitud sexual de mujeres migrantes. Seis categorías de victimarios se lucran en México con la esclavitud sexual: los cárteles de las drogas, las redes de prostitución, los propietarios de locales nocturnos, las seudoagencias de modelos, los esclavistas freelancers y los novios-padrotes. Sus modus operandi implican la captación de las víctimas mediante anuncios en internet, el engaño, el enamoramiento, la compra o el secuestro, y el sometimiento de las esclavas haciendo uso de la reclusión, la dominación por medio de amenazas, la extorsión, la violación o la tortura. Estos grupos ejercen el derecho de propiedad sobre las víctimas para comprarlas, venderlas, maltratarlas o quitarles la vida. Algunas víctimas son liberadas; pero la mayor parte no logran escapar. Quienes tratan de huir o se niegan a obedecer a los victimarios son disciplinadas de modo severo.

Published: August 2024

Astronomical phenomenon occur for only a limited amount of time. Observing these phenomenon requires competent promoters and appropriate instruments. The field of view is one of the things that needs to be clearly known so that the observation can take place properly. In this study, joint observations were made between IAIN Lhokseumawe Falak Science Study Programme and OIF UMSU in Medan and Barus. The instruments used in these observations are different, resulting in a variety of fields of view and calculations are needed to get a description of the results. This study aims to calculate the field of view and visibility of the observed phenomenon, the conjunction of the Moon - Jupiter. The results obtained are for the instrument used by IAIN Lhokseumawe Falak Science Study Program at Malikussaleh Observatory has a field of view of 2°7'46.13‘ × 1°25'22.25’, the instrument used by UMSU Medan Falak Science Observatory has a field of view of 1°8'26.96‘ × 0°54'45.57’, and the instrument used by the OIF UMSU Barus team has a field of view of 1°0'43.74’ × 0°41'1.98. Using this combination of instruments cannot observe the conjunction phenomenon, because the elongation of the Moon - Jupiter at the time of the observation is >4°, so to be able to get the visibility of the phenomenon in 1 image requires an instrument that produces a field of view of ~5°.

This study aims to explore and develop a learning program for children’s religious education at the Firya Lientas Housing Community in Lhokseumawe. The research employs an action research approach with qualitative methods to understand and enhance the effectiveness of the program. The methodology involves five main steps: problem identification, action planning, action implementation, observation and data collection, and reflection. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative techniques, including transcription, coding, thematic development, and data interpretation. The results indicate that the development of religious education activities has had a positive impact, as evidenced by increased understanding of religious values and the development of social-emotional skills. The increased support from parents, demonstrated by their willingness to contribute financially to the program and the establishment of active communication for mutual support, also reflects the positive impact of these activities. The active involvement of housewives who serve as religious teachers (ustazah) in imparting religious values, developing social-emotional skills, providing moral support, and planning the children’s religious education activities has helped enhance understanding of religious values and social-emotional skills through the development of teaching materials, implementation of interactive learning strategies, and ongoing evaluation. Based on these findings, additional training and preparation are needed for housewives who serve as teachers (ustazah) to better equip them to competently support children’s education.

Проблема отсутствия единого справочного приложения для системы маркировки лекарственных средств
Authors: Уженцева А. В.
Published: August 2024

Несколько лет назад в России начался эксперимент по маркировке лекарственных средств. Стремительное развитие данного эксперимента заставило участников оборота лекарственных средств столкнуться с рядом трудностей. Это вызвано незнанием порядка взаимодействия с системой маркировки, а также случающимися время от времени сбоями или ошибками. В результате описанных событий несколько компаний столкнулись с огромным потоком обращений к специалистам службы поддержки, что создало проблему для пользователей с нетипичными вопросами. В статье приведено описание данной проблемы, а также рассмотрена проблема отсутствия единого справочного приложения, собирающего в себе большинство наиболее частых вопросов, поступающих специалистам поддержки. Проведён обзор аналогов, способных претендовать на роль данной справочной системы, сделан вывод о необходимости разработки новой справочной системы. Для неё предложена платформа, основные блоки и принцип взаимодействия. Кроме того, в статье продемонстрирован алгоритм взаимодействия с данным справочным приложением, представлены диаграммы последовательности «as is» и «to be», из которых видно чёткое разделение спрашивающих на две группы, что позволит существенно снизить нагрузку на специалистов. Построена диаграмма Ганта, демонстрирующая, что сроки проектирования и разработки данной справочной системы в целом незначительны. Кроме того, разработан прототип данного приложения, способный отразить все описанные блоки и функции системы. Сделан вывод о необходимости и полезности подобной системы как в рассматриваемой сфере, так и в других сферах, где требуется массовая поддержка пользователей.
Determinants of Sustainable Rural Community-based Value Chains
Authors: Dahalan Norziani , Ramlee Nurul Najwa Syafiah , Hilmi Mohd Faiz , Hassan Fatimah
Published: August 2024

Failure to understand business from a value chain perspective was identified in the National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030 as one of the challenges that need to be addressed for an entrepreneur's sustainability. Value chains refer to the activities that add value at each stage in developing, producing, and delivering quality products to customers. This paper aims to identify the determinants of effective and sustainable factors that underpin rural community-based value chains in their business conduct. In achieving these objectives, the methodology includes a case study on the Warisan Dapur Lenggong Business Project in Lenggong, Malaysia, library searches, and an analysis of previous literature reviews on value chains and community-based small businesses. The finding shows that factors contributing to the success of rural entrepreneurs in value chains can be categorised into internal and external patterns. Internal individual factors include entrepreneurial culture, skills and knowledge, adaptability, continuous improvement and Innovation, networking and collaboration. In contrast, internal community factors include community, leadership, local association and staff support, value proposition and differentiation, financial management, community resilience and perseverance. In comparison, external factors include access to market information, technology and infrastructural limitations, political influence and government policy. This paper also hopes to strengthen the body of knowledge on how effective value chains help entrepreneurs achieve sustainable competitive advantage as one of the agenda for 2030 Sustainable Development and for making Malaysia a higher-income and civilised nation.
Impact of Farmer Associations on Sales and Crop Diversification
Authors: Chea Vatana , Keo Socheat , Yoeun Sereyvath
Published: August 2024

Contributing to the growing interest in understanding the impact of farmer cooperatives on rural household welfare, we add new empirical evidence to the current literature and debate. In particular, this study investigates the impact of farmer cooperatives on sales per hectare of land and crop diversification, which have been largely overlooked. We apply the Propensity Score Matching method to the Cambodia Inter-Censal Agricultural Survey 2019, with its large sample size of 16,000 small-scale producers. Additionally, we perform a robustness check to ensure our findings are unbiased. Results indicate that Cambodian farmers perceive the cooperatives as a risk-sharing mechanism or knowledge-sharing platform that provides technical know-how to cope with natural calamities. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) outputs show a significantly positive impact of participating in the cooperatives on sales and the crop diversification index. This study thus advocates increasing technical support and implementing policies by the government to help cooperatives thrive and expand.

Authors: Romain William Francis
Published: August 2024

The Mississippian-era site of Cahokia was the largest Native American city north of Mexico. Archaeologists have long speculated about possible astronomic alignments and spatial relationships in the layout of its 100+ earthen mounds. In this paper LiDAR imagery, historic documents, ethnohistoric and archaeologic data are used to assess the site relative to astronomic and landscape alignments. New findings show how Monks, Rattlesnake, Powell and other mounds are aligned to the Sun, Moon, and Milky Way. Additionally, these alignments intersect prominent bluffs to the east and southeast that appear to have been used as horizon markers.

Case Series of Double Chamber Right Ventricle in Ventricular Septal Defect: Should It Be Missed Out?
Authors: Mohd Kori Anis Munirah , Mohd Zain Mohd Rizal , Wan Ibrahim Wan Pauzi
Published: August 2024

Double chamber right ventricle is a rare disorder caused by an abnormal muscular bundle that separates the right ventricle into high- and low-pressure chambers. In this case series, we highlighted two cases with various clinical features while having a double chamber right ventricle. The initial case involves an infant who presented with significant symptoms at the age of two. He was diagnosed with a double chamber right ventricle and an outlet ventricular septal defect. Case two is asymptomatic, with the discovery of a double chamber right ventricle at the age of nine during echo follow-up for the underlying ventricular septal defect. This case series demonstrates the importance of monitoring right ventricular obstruction in patients who have an underlying ventricular septal defect, given the tendency to overlook the presence of a double chamber right ventricle.
Legal and Political Aspects of the De-Armenization of Nagorno-Karabakh: Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide, Forced Displacement or Voluntary Exodus?
Authors:   Université de Sorbonne Nouvelle, Tatikyan Sossi
Published: August 2024

From September 2020 to September 2023, Azerbaijan applied a combination of hard and soft tactics, military and hybrid methods to depopulate Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) of its indigenous Armenian population. Different terms are used by various official, policy and academic circles to describe the de-Armenization of Nagorno-Karabakh. The choice of term often depends on their stance, beliefs, interests and expertise. These terms include “genocide”, “ethnic cleansing”, “forced displacement”, “displacement”, “exodus”, “voluntary exodus”, “migration”, among others. Some also use terms that mock or deny the genocide and ethnic cleansing. This article explores the most accurate terms to describe the de-Armenization of Nagorno-Karabakh. It does this by comparing various perspectives and examining the compliance of the used terms with those implied in international law and relations, as well as their political applicability. The article also revisits the methods and scenarios employed by Azerbaijan, which resulted in the depopulation of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians. The combined analysis of those aspects and overwhelming evidence shows that the de-Armenization of Nagorno-Karabakh is ethnic cleansing. Legally, it also corresponds to most of the genocide criteria; however, it may be a difficult claim politically and compared with other ongoing conflicts.

In this research work, Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers Protocol was used to characterize bacterial isolates from two selected General Hospitals Waste Water (HWW). The hospital environment and its wastes accumulate diseases from both inward and outward patients. It is pertinent to investigate the wastewater and study its microbial community. Wastewater samples were collected from two major General Hospitals in Akoko area, namely, Ikare and Akungba-Akoko General Hospitals. Samples were microbiologically examined for the presence of bacterial colonies. Isolated bacterial species were preliminarily identified through conventional biochemical tests and were further characterized using 16s rRNA sequencing protocol. The bacterial gene was amplified using selected primers. DNA was isolated, purified, and amplified using 16s rRNA gene sequence protocol, and the results were analyzed and assessed with the standard bacteria sequence in the NCBI database. Molecular evolutionary analyses and Phylogenetic trees were mapped out from the results obtained. it was observed that the Bacterial counts in Cfu/ml range between 10.0 x 103Cfu/ml to 24.0 x 103Cfu/ml. The highest bacterial count was observed from the test sample from Ikare followed by Akungba Akoko General Hospitals with the Cfu/ml value of 24.0 x 103 and 18.0 x103 Cfu/ml respectively. Molecular data sequence, when compared with NCBI database using BLAST showed 99.60 –99.87% bactaria phylogenic identity and E-value equal to 0 for all closely related taxa. The following bacteria were characterized using Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers protocol namely: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis. this study has revealed the presence of different bacterial species in hospital waste water which pose threat to public health. Hence, proper monitoring and sewage treatment should be encouraged in different hospital settings before the disposal of these wastewaters to the public water runways

The hawthorn, Crataegus spp., is grown in seven states in Mexico. Its fruit is affected by Conotrachelus crataegi, an insect that bores into its flesh and stones, causing damage and loss of quality. In this research, we evaluated different parts of the host, male and female quince curculios, and combinations thereof, as potential sources of attraction for adults. We also studied female oviposition preference in eight fruit accessions from five hawthorn species. Results of bioassays in two-way olfactometers indicated that the fruits were the best adult attractant source (P<0.0001), so we believe that attractive volatiles released from them should be tested as source material to identify potential attractant compounds for C. crataegi. Oviposition preference was directly related to fruit size, but inversely related to fruit maturity status. Medium and large-sized immature fruits, mainly belonging to the species Crataegus mexicana, were the most oviposited.ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: Attractants, egg depositions, quince curculio, hawthorn

The objective of this work was to characterize cactus pear production system in Axapusco, Estado de México by performing surveys among farmers and interviews to key partici pants. Most are peasants and have parcels in “ejidos” (73 %). The production system shows high variability. They plow the surface (37 %) or the subsoil (34 %). The typical density is 600 to 700 plants per hectare (38 %). The com-mon distance between plants is 4.0 m by 4.0 m (55 %). The white cactus pear (Opuntia albicarpa) is predominant in the region (74 %). Two-thirds of the farmers use manual weed control. Fresh cattle manure is used by 54 % of the farmers. Most farmers do not receive any technical assistance (96 %). Furthermore, a large proportion of the farmers said they do not receive any governmental subsidy (71 %). The most important problem for farmers is the control of pests and diseases (34 %); followed by low fruit price and orchard management (both 21 %). The lack of technical knowledge is behind those problems. Several strategies are required to solve these problems. Highlighting, that farmers have to compost of the manure, use bio-insecticides for pest control and improve their organization.

In agriculture under controlled environment, soil has been replace by substrates due to physical, chemical and biological limitations. The use of materials coming from agro industrial wastes or byproducts facilitate the use of low cost substrates and enable a positive ecolo-gical impact, which is the case of the forest industry that produce a large volume of pine sawdust with potential as a substrate. Physical properties of the substrates are the most important, because once the crop has been settled, it can hardly be modified and it must remain constant throughout crop cycle.The objective of this work was to evaluate the variation in physical properties of the substrate formed by a sawdust/volcanic rock mixture during several crop cycles to determine the feasibility of their use. For this purpose, 10 treatments were used, which consisted of the com-bination of three volcanic rock particle sizes (≤3, 3-6 and 6-12 mm) and three sawdust/volcanic rock ratios (90/10, 80/20 and 70/30) plus a treatment 100 % pine sawdust. These treatments were tested during five continuous tomato crop cycles (thirty months). Total porosity, particle size, moisture retention capacity, air capacity and bulk density were measured at the end of each cycle and also from the original substrate. Little variation in bulk density was observed, but total porosity, moisture retention capacity and air capacity decreased gradually during the five tomato crop cycles. Air capacity was the physical characteristic that showed greater variation, showing values below the appropriate after 24 months of cultivation.

A weather model was evaluated to estimate the hourly time temperatura and relative humidity inside of a zenithal ventilated type green-house, as a function of the weather outside of the greenhouse. The study was carried out during the Winter of 2008-2009, in a comercial greenhouse with tomato production, located at Tlahualilo, Durango, Mexico. The model considered the effect of natural ventilation. The results of the evaluation for two non consecutive days showed a good estimation of the air temperature, and a reasonable good estimation of relative humidity. Some adjustments are still required to improve the quality of the model.ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: Energy balance, water vapor balance, solar radiation.

This study proposes an intelligent fault detection mechanism using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to detect faults on power system transmission lines. A prototype of Kaduna-to-Kano transmission line network was modeled in Simulink, and voltage and current data were extracted and trained using the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithm. The results show that the ANN can detect both symmetrical and non-symmetrical faults, with validation plots and regression plots demonstrating its effectiveness. This technique is highly recommended for power system transmission line networks and can be extended to distribution networks.

This review paper explores the dual impacts of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) on Operational Efficiency (OE) in the manufacturing sectors of Nigeria and the United States, providing a comprehensive cross-cultural analysis. In an era where manufacturing industries globally are undergoing rapid technological advancements and organizational transformations, understanding the synergistic role of human and technological factors is crucial. EI, which encompasses the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions, significantly influences leadership effectiveness, team dynamics, and overall workplace harmony. Concurrently, the integration of IoT technologies facilitates real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced automation, leading to substantial improvements in OE.
The paper first delineates the conceptual frameworks of EI and IoT, highlighting their individual contributions to manufacturing efficiency. Subsequently, it discusses the comparative analysis of the manufacturing environments in Nigeria and the US, examining how cultural contexts shape the application and impact of EI and IoT. In the United States, advanced technological infrastructure and a culture of innovation foster the widespread adoption of IoT and the integration of EI in organizational practices. Conversely, Nigeria's manufacturing sector, while facing challenges such as infrastructural deficits and skill gaps, shows potential for growth through targeted investments in technology and human capital development.
Through this cross-cultural lens, the paper identifies key differences in the perceptions and applications of EI, the extent of IoT integration, and the resulting OEs. The findings suggest that while the US benefits from a mature ecosystem for both EI and IoT, Nigeria's unique socio-economic landscape necessitates tailored strategies to harness these tools effectively. The analysis concludes with policy and practical implications, offering insights for enhancing manufacturing efficiency through balanced and culturally sensitive approaches to technological and EI advancements. This comprehensive review underscores the importance of synergizing human and technological capabilities to drive sustainable growth and competitiveness in the global manufacturing sector.

Ale-ale shells are popular shellfish in the Ketapang coastal area. The local community uses the shellfish a lot as food processing, one of which is in the form of fermented products. In the fermentation process, the nutritional content of course will be different from fresh ale-ale because it has gone through the preservation process. In this study, several work procedures were carried out for proximate testing including measuring pH, determining water content, ash content, protein content, fat content and carbohydrate content. The proximate content in fermented products is different and tends to decrease, such as protein content, fat content, carbohydrates. This is due to the difference in preparations between fresh ale-ale and fermented ale-ale products. The purpose of testing proximate levels is to determine the difference in proximate content between fresh ale and ale ale that is processed by fermentation.
