Air-drying characteristics of fresh and pretreated (African Oil Bean) Pentaclethra macrophylla benth. cotyledons
Authors: Olurin Taiwo O. , Falade Kolawole O.
Published: February 2024

Processing of African Oil Bean Cotyledons (AOBC), a valuable source of protein has been a bottleneck because of the associated drudgery. In addition, the shelf life of the processed bean is very short; the cotyledon turns green shortly during storage due to putrefaction. On the basis of the above, there is a need to produce shelf-stable cotyledons which could be rehydrated when needed. Three portions were separately soaked in each solution of sodium chloride (3 %), sodium meta-bisulfite (300 ppm), ascorbic acid (300 ppm) for 1h, and one portion were subjected to natural fermentation for three days, while the other was used as control. All the samples (single and double cotyledons) were oven-dried at 50, 60, 70, and 80o C to constant weight. The dehydration rate of AOBC decreased gradually until the water activity of the oil bean cotyledon reduced to less than one. Moisture diffusivity increased from 4.9061×10-10 – 2.091 × 10-9 m2/s, and varied with drying temperature, thickness, and pretreatments. Midilli and Kucuk model (R2 = 0.9702 - 0.9940) showed a better fit than other drying models. Effective moisture diffusivity is direct of the samples is reliant on air-drying temperature and can be described by the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy of drying of the African Oil Bean cotyledon was in the range of 10.29 – 27.12 kJ/mol. Finally, the addition of preservatives proved to be highly effective on the drying rate and the other studied parameters as well as the shelf stability of the AOBC.

Authors: Kanu W.N. , Onyekwere I. A.
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the perception of climate change-related disasters and their impact on household food security in rural farm households in Imo State, Nigeria. Studies have consistently shown an association between climate change and food insecurity in different parts of the world. However the impact of climate change varies over time and space and therefore cannot be generalized. If household food security is to be secured in Imo State, it becomes imperative to identify the specific climate change related disasters that adversely affect household food security as well as the intervention priorities in specific communities. The study utilizes descriptive analytical tools to analyze the data from 186 farm households across four agricultural communities in the state. Findings reveal that excessive rainfall leading to flooding is the most prevalent climate change-related disaster, followed by excessive heat and irregular rainfall patterns. A significant majority of respondents attribute household food insecurity to these climate change-related disasters at high or very high levels. Various mitigation strategies adopted by households include changes in farming practices, irrigation methods, crop replacement, and land modification techniques. The study also identifies top priorities for government intervention as improving drainage and irrigation systems, establishing community weather forecast centers, and providing fertilizer subsidies. Additionally, enhancing hedging technology and pest/disease control strategies were recognized as important interventions. The study emphasizes the importance of tailored interventions, continuous data collection, and awareness campaigns to enhance agricultural resilience and ensure food security in the face of climate change impacts.
The Quest for Cultural Renaissance in Wole Soyinka’s Childe Internationale and Alápatá Àpáta
Authors: Afolayan Kayode Niyi
Published: February 2024

Critics of Wole Soyinka’s works have always identified the cultural impulses of his Yoruba origin in his dramaturgy. This engagement can  be segmented into slants that seek a renaissance of his culture through his use of its tropes to intervene in the social malaises mirrored  in his works and through a commitment that seeks the survival of his culture in the postcolonial milieus. This paper focuses on Soyinka’s  engagement with the subject of cultural renaissance through a postcolonial reading of Childe Internationale and Alápatá Àpáta. While  underscoring Soyinka’s commitment to the survival of his culture in the hybridised contexts presented in the plays, the paper points out  that Soyinka’s dominant discussions on cultural renaissance have been primarily associated with his ‘Children plays’. The paper exhibits  some of the critical aspects of culture that the playwright has isolated to validate his quest for a cultural renaissance. The paper’s  conclusion gives accreditation to the playwright’s concerns about the dwindling fortunes of his Yoruba culture and language but doubts  if there is any remedy in sight on account of some other overwhelming adverse social conditions in the plays.

Authors: Didiugwu C. M. , Chukwura E. I.
Published: February 2024

Most biosurfactant-producing microorganisms are hydrocarbon degraders. The research was conducted to isolate and characterize biosurfactant-producing bacteria from a crude oil polluted soil in Nigeria. Biosurfactant-producing bacteria were isolated from crude oil-polluted soil. Crude oil-polluted soil was collected by random sampling and its physicochemical analysis was done. Bacteria were isolated from the contaminated soil and screened for biosurfactant production. Organisms that showed the ability to produce biosurfactant were identified using morphological, biochemical and molecular methods. The physicochemical parameters of the soil showed a pH 6.9, electrical conductivity of 71.5, 2.55% carbon, 2.016% nitrogen and 5.98% phosphorus. The values of biosurfactant tests showed that organisms S2 and S13 were positive for biosurfactant production. The percentage emulsion indexes of the two selected organisms S2 and S13 were 59.09% and 57.14% respectively. The Blast analysis from the molecular identification showed that the isolated organisms were Gordonia alkanivorans for S2 and Tsukamurella inochensis for S13. This research showed that the isolated biosurfactant-producing bacteria are abundant in the crude oil polluted soil.
Comparing the effectiveness of thrower’s specific exercise program with regular warm-up program in recreational cricket bowlers
Authors: Timothy P. S. , Subramanian S.
Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION: Thrower’s Ten program is a thrower-specific workout program that increases upper-extremity strength, power, and endurance, especially in overhead athletes. The study compares the thrower's ten-exercise program to the regular warm-up program in recreational cricket bowlers' posterior capsule tightness, internal rotator strength, upper extremity stability, and explosive power.

METHODS: Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 82 recreational cricket bowlers were divided into experimental (n=41) and control (n=41) groups. The experimental group received Thrower's ten warm-up programs three times a week for six weeks, along with the standard warm-up. Control maintained its warm-up routine. Before and after six weeks, participants were tested for shoulder internal rotator strength, posterior capsule tightness, stability, and explosive power. SPSS software was used to calculate outcome measures mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and paired t-test.

RESULTS: After six weeks, all outcome measures exhibited a significant difference (p<0.05) within the experimental group, whereas none of the outcome measures depicted a significant difference (p>0.05) within the control group. A significant difference (p<0.05) was seen between the groups for post-test strength and upper extremity stability measures. However, a non-significant difference (p>0.05) was noted between groups for posterior capsule tightness and upper extremity explosive power.

CONCLUSION: Compared to the usual warm-up program used by recreational cricket bowlers, the thrower’s customized warm-up routine is more successful in improving internal rotator strength and upper extremity stability. Both warm-up programs enhance posterior capsule tightness and upper extremity explosive power.
Design and implementation of a loan default prediction system using random forest algorithm
Authors: Oghenekaro L. U. , Chimela M. C.
Published: February 2024

Loan default prediction is a crucial task in the lending industry; it helps financial institutions make informed decisions about granting loans. It is usually a daunting task for the bank or financial institution to predict customers who will default on a loan especially when there are thousands of applicants. This loan default prediction system aimed to improve the Area Under the Curve (AUC) score. This loan default prediction system used various data sources, such as demographic information, credit history, and financial performance to predict the likelihood of a loan being defaulted. The system used a random forest (RF) machine learning algorithm to analyze the data and build predictive models. The model was then used to make predictions about new loan applicants and existing borrowers who may default in the future. The system can be customized to meet the specific requirements of different lending institutions. The system enables lenders to make better decisions on loan approval, interest rate determination, and credit risk, management. The loan default prediction system also provides insights into risk factors that contribute to loan default and helps lenders develop effective strategies to mitigate these risks, making it an indispensable tool for lenders. The resultant system achieved an improved AUC score of 98%.

Published: February 2024

ToRCH infections pose a great risk to the fetus and neonates if the mother is actively infected during pregnancy. This may lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, delayed fetal growth and maturation (intrauterine growth retardation), or pre-term delivery. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of ToRCH infections in pregnant women in Port Harcourt. Sera from 84 pregnant women between the ages of 16 and 45 were analysed for detectable ToRCH IgM antibodies using the Dia-Pro ToRCH IgM kit. The results from the study showed an IgM seroprevalence rate of 82.1%, with the highest rate of seropositivity obtained among married women (91.0%), Civil servants (92.3%) and women within the age group 25-34 years (92.9%). There was significant relationship between the ToRCH IgM seropositivity and age, marital status and occupational status. The seropositivity of ToRCH agents among pregnant women in Port Harcourt is high, suggesting an acute infection which may adversely affect fetal health. This underscores the need for preventive antenatal screening and universal immunization schemes.

Published: February 2024

This study evaluated the effect of two storage temperatures on the bacterial flora and sensory quality of vacuum packaged smoked catfish (Clarias anguillaris). The catfish was hot smoked using a traditional kiln, with mangrove wood as the source of heat. Total bacterial count (TBC) and sensory parameters (colour, smell. dryness and general appearance) were determined during storage at ambient (28 ± 2°C) and refrigeration (4°C) temperatures for 0-8 weeks. Bacteria were enumerated, isolated and identified using standard methods. Vacuum packaged smoked catfish stored at 4°C (VPCR) had the lowest TBC which increased from 3.23 – 3.58 log10 cfu/g within 2 weeks of storage and stabilized at 3.44 log10 cfu/g for 4 – 8 weeks. The TBC of the vacuum packaged smoked catfish stored at ambient temperature (28 ± 2°C) ranged from 3.32 – 6.88 log10 cfu/g within 6 weeks of storage. The bacteria isolated from fresh catfish belonged to nine genera, namely, Bacillus, Chryseobacterium, Escherichia, Lysinibacillus, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Vibrio. Only Bacillus and Proteus species were isolated from freshly smoked catfish. Isolates from vacuum packaged samples were Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Proteus and Staphylococcus. Molecular characterization of three isolates from fresh catfish revealed that the species were Chryseobacterium aquifridigense, Lysinibacillus mycoides and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The sensory scores for sample VPCR stored for 8 weeks did not differ significantly (P ≥ 0.05) from freshly smoked catfish, except for the colour. Non-packaged and vacuum packaged smoked catfish samples were of good quality during storage at ambient temperature for 4 weeks, and 4 – 6 weeks, respectively.
Negative Effects of Pollen Drought Stress on Floral Volatiles, Floral Nectar, Pollinator Behavior, and Seed Production in Ocimum basilicum Plants
Authors: Nayab Naira , Alam Md Anzer
Published: February 2024

Ocimum basilicum is an aromatic plant belonging to the family of Lamiaceae. Many biotic and abiotic factors particularly drought stress  influences its reproduction. Drought stress can harm the pollen grains of O. basilicum plants and disrupt the production of floral volatiles,  reduce floral rewards for pollinators, decrease pollinator activity, and ultimately result in a decline in the seed set. These detrimental  impacts highlight the importance of sufficient pollen availability for the successful reproduction and survival of plant species. The  reproduction in plants is significantly impacted by drought stress, as it can directly or indirectly alter the attraction of pollinators. In this  study, the effect of drought stress in O. basilicum plants was investigated by comparing drought- with no drought-stressed plants in  order to examine various elements including: (1) nectar quantity and quality (2) pollen production (3) flower volatile emissions (4)  pollinator visitation rates from both domesticated and wild species, and (5) the plant’s' reproductive outcomes, which contributes to the  knowledge of the relationship between drought stress and pollination on O. basilicum. The planting was done in two different locations  within the Saran division of Bihar state in India, first one is Chapra town and second one is Siwan town, in June 2019. The result indicated  that plants with drought conditions, in contrast to drought free plants, produced a reduced quantity of pollen and had a decrease of the  number of flowers and the volume of nectar produced per flower. Furthermore, drought affected plants produced nectar with a lower  percentage of sucrose in relation to the total sugar content. Bees visiting rate was low compared to control plants and plants emitted  more Z-3-hexenol, C4H8O, C5H10O, and Isovaleraldehyde. Moreover, this study utilized HPLC analysis to investigate the impact of  drought stress on the floral nectar of O. basilicum plants. The findings revealed significant changes in nectar composition, highlighting  the susceptibility of plantpollinator interactions and seed production to environmental stress factors.

Механізм держави у контексті прав людини в умовах інформаційного суспільства
Authors: Каніщев Григорій Юрійович
Published: February 2024

у статті аналізуються зміни, що відбуваються в державному механізмі у зв’язку зі становленням і подальшим розвитком інформаційного суспільства. Подано визначення інформаційного суспільства як системи людських відносин в умовах стрімкого розвитку інформаційно-комп’ютерних технологій. Зазначається, що становлення та подальший розвиток інформаційного суспільства зумовлює проблему пристосування (адаптації) до нього всіх сторін життєдіяльності людини. Стверджується, що така адаптація стосується, зокрема, політичної системи людства. Перш за все, його головного елементу – держави. Її подальша еволюція в умовах інформаційного суспільства тісно пов'язана з мережевим управлінням. Тобто системою горизонтальних зв’язків між окремими елементами держави, а також держави з двома іншими елементами політичної системи суспільства – громадянським суспільством і місцевим самоврядуванням. Проблема мережевого управління як запоруки успішного функціонування політичної системи пов'язана з поняттям «механізм держави». При цьому механізм держави фактично ототожнюється з мережевим управлінням. Механізм держави, у свою чергу, розглядається як система, що складається з наступних трьох елементів: а) державного апарату (бюрократії); б) участі громадян в управлінні державними справами; в) комунікації (насамперед електронної) громадян і держави. Таке трактування поняття «механізм держави» та ототожнення його з мережевим управлінням пов’язане зі змінами, які вносить інформаційне суспільство у функціонування держави як політичного інституту. На прикладі України розглядається державне законодавство про комунікацію громадян і держави. Це закони України «Про інформацію», «Про доступ до публічної інформації», «Про звернення громадян». Подальший розвиток держави в умовах інформаційного суспільства з урахуванням мережевого управління пов’язаний з дослідженням різноманітних форм державного правління та державного устрою: полікратії, монократії, унітарної та федеративної держави (федерації). Звертається увага на важливість державного механізму в умовах полідержави: унітарної або федеративної держави, що включає території (регіони) з різним політико-правовим статусом. Зазначається, що проведення подальших досліджень у цьому напрямку є актуальним і необхідним науковим пошуком.
Фінансово-економічний аналіз підприємства: основа прогнозування позитивних результатів за кризових умов
Authors: Химич Ірина , Різник Наталія
Published: February 2024

Дана стаття розкриває необхідність здійснення фінансово-економічного аналізу діяльності підприємства. Виявлено, що саме за кризових бізнес-умов підприємству потрібно знати власний рівень фінансової спроможності. Позитивні результати фінансово-економічного аналізу є важливою характеристикою правильно сформованої та реалізованої загальної стратегії та управлінської політики підприємства. Результати фінансово-економічної діагностики підприємства дозволяють виявити сильні та слабкі сторони в його діяльності. Отримані результати фінансово-економічного аналізу підприємства є основою для розробки прогнозних моделей. Прогнозовані варіанти майбутніх бізнес-подій виступають найшвидшими та найдоступнішими методами та заходами для покращення фінансової ситуації підприємства. Саме багатоваріантність прогнозних моделей є найшвидшим управлінським рішенням для виведення підприємства із кризового стану. Також, прогнозовані варіанти бізнес-подій можуть показати майбутню «вразливість» підприємства та забезпечити його фінансове «оздоровлення». В даному дослідженні запропоновано та описано загальну структуру поетапності здійснення діагностики та прогнозування фінансово-економічного стану підприємства. Представлена методика складається із двох взаємопов’язаних блоків: фінансово-економічної діагностики підприємства; прогнозування фінансово-економічного стану підприємства. Два блоки цієї методики взаємодоповнюють один одного: реально існуючий та прогнозований варіанти фінансово-економічного стану досліджуваного підприємства. Зазначено, що фінансово-економічний аналіз загального стану підприємства сприятиме розробці ефективного прогнозу на майбутнє, який забезпечить: розуміння в якому напрямі потрібно працювати підприємству надалі; підтримку діяльності підприємства на основі елементів гнучкості, адаптації, трансформації та мобільності бізнесу; формування реальної фінансово-економічної «картини» бізнесу та її реалізацію в практичній діяльності підприємства. Визначено, що найважливішою умовою збереження позицій бізнесу є проведення фінансово-економічного аналізу та комплексної фінансово-економічної діагностики стану та діяльності підприємства, а також здійснення коротко- та середньострокового прогнозування ймовірності отримання майбутніх позитивних фінансово-економічних результатів.

Development of 3D flow diagnostic numerical simulator and rock property modelling for a homogeneous faulted reservoir
Authors: Muhammed Gwio Surajo , Ayuba Ibrahim , Aminua Umar Faruk
Published: February 2024

Research has shown that faults, especially sealing faults, have become a barrier to flow. Flow diagnostics, on the other hand, are straightforward and controlled numerical flow experiments that are performed to examine a reservoir model, build links and offer rudimentary volume estimates as well as to quickly produce a qualitative representation of the reservoir’s flow patterns. To evaluate, assess, and validate reservoir models and production scenarios, the ’diagnostics’ module in the Matlab Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST) provides a computationally less expensive alternative to running fully featured multiphase simulations. This is done to determine qualitatively regions for well placement to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. Monitoring flow fields, timelines, and tracers—neutral particles in the fluid that flow with the fluid—are all part of flow diagnostics. These techniques are used to determine volumetric communication between a pair of injector-producer wells, as well as flow patterns between injection-production wells and the arrival time between them. To create the grid, the simulation schedule, the wells, upscaling, arrival time computation, and flow diagnostics (drainage and sweep regions) were all done using the Matlab reservoir simulation toolbox (MRST) package by “Makemodel 3” on the data obtained from “SPE 10th comparative solution project” on the MRST package. This was done for a homogeneous anisotropic faulted porous medium. The simulation runs for about 473,739 milliseconds on a fine grid having 20040 active cells while in the coarse model with faster computational time of about 200 seconds, 112 milliseconds. At the early stages of the reservoir bottom-hole pressure for injector I1(about 7000psia) and three producers P1, P2 and P3 remains constant over time (about 3600psia) thanks to pressure support by I1. The extent of residence time after 10 years for the fine, coarse and more coarser model is that fluid element find it easier to transverse through the fault line from I1 to P1, P2 then P3 which takes lesser time than crossing across two intersecting faults, It can also be seen that the sweep efficiency of the fine grid is more effective than the coarse grid. Finally, it has been seen clearly that the fine grid model gives more accurate details but slower computational time while the coarse model which is less accurate but with faster computational time.
