Analysis of Well Water Quality Index as Panacea for Sustainable Healthy Living in Zing Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria
Authors: Ishaku Silas , Matthew Emmanuel Omeiza , Akinrinade Muhibah Adebukola , Yohanna Galadima
Published: September 2023

This investigation was carried out to analyze the hand-dug well water quality index as a panacea for sustainable healthy living in Zing Local Government Area of Taraba state, Nigeria. Ten (10) different hand-dug well water samples were studied for a period of six months (October- March). Various physicochemical parameters such as PH, EC, Turbidity, Total hardness, total dissolves solids, chlorides, sulphates, calcium, magnesium, total alkalinity, fluorides and phosphates were assessed using standard methods and instruments recommended by WHO. The arithmetic index method was adopted to calculate the Water Quality Index (WQI). The investigations revealed that Zing A1, Zing A2, Yakoko, Monkin A and Monkin B, Lamma, Bitako and Bubong hand-dug well water were not suitable for domestic uses, while Zing B and Dinding showed a very poor water quality for domestic uses and human consumptions. It was therefore recommended that alternative portable sources of drinking water for these communities be provided to avert contracting waterborne diseases and that regular monitoring be encouraged by authority concerns.

La naturaleza jurídica del presupuesto público: La importancia del equilibrio presupuestal
Authors: Diaz Grados Jenny
Published: September 2023

En el presente artículo el autor nos describe la naturaleza jurídica del presupuesto público con principal incidencia, haciendo un análisis pormenorizado del principio del equilibrio presupuestal y probando como a la fecha el mencionado principio viene siendo infringido en los procedimientos de negociación colectiva. La metología de investigación fue de enfoque cualitativo, basada en una revisión sistemática de la literatura cientifíca relacionada con la naturaleza del presupuesto público. Los resultados sugieren que, Ningún derecho es absoluto, pues en la metodología constitucional viene aparejada el régimen de restricción a través de la ley, bajo este contexto si bien es cierto el Estado reconoce el derecho al trabajo y dentro de este el derecho de negociación colectiva este tiene un régimen de restricción fijado por la ley, específicamente por la ley de presupuesto público, pues de no respetarse el equilibrio presupuestario los procesos de negociación colectiva consumarían un ejercicio abusivo de los mencionados derechos pactándose beneficios laborales ilegales. Todas las acciones que impliquen el uso de fondos públicos están sujetas a la existencia de procedimientos de aprobación presupuestaria, ya que tienen un contenido esencial y constitucionalmente protegido.

Published: September 2023

The Affymetrix GeneChip Exon Array can be used to detect alternative splice variants. Microarray Detection of Alternative Splicing (MIDAS) and Partek® Genomics Suite (Partek® GS) are among the most popular analytical methods used to analyze exon array data. While both methods utilize statistical significance for testing, MIDAS and Partek® GS could produce somewhat different results due to different underlying assumptions. Comparing MIDAS and Partek® GS is quite difficult due to their substantially different mathematical formulations and assumptions regarding alternative splice variants. For meaningful comparison, we have used the previously published generalized probe model (GPM) which encompasses both MIDAS and Partek® GS under different assumptions. We analyzed a colon cancer exon array data set using MIDAS, Partek® GS and GPM. MIDAS and Partek® GS produced quite different sets of genes that are considered to have alternative splice variants. Further, we found that GPM produced results similar to MIDAS as well as to Partek® GS under their respective assumptions. Within the GPM, we show how discoveries relating to alternative variants can be quite different due to different assumptions. MIDAS focuses on relative changes in expression values across different exons within genes and tends to be robust but less efficient. Partek® GS, however, uses absolute expression values of individual exons within genes and tends to be more efficient but more sensitive to the presence of outliers. From our observations, we conclude that MIDAS and Partek® GS produce complementary results, and discoveries from both analyses should be considered.

The production of bio ethanol from bio waste and the investigation of its thermal characteristics are the driving forces behind this research. The suitability of bio ethanol in spark-ignition engines can be determined by studying the thermal properties. After extraction, pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, bio ethanol was created. The raw material was screened prior to this procedure using thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) to determine the rate of mass loss versus temperature. The biggest percentage mass loss of TGA, up to 34%, was seen in the leaves of the Manila tamarind. Cellulosic ethanol was produced as a result of the enzymatic degradation of cellulose into fermentable sugars. For Manila Tamarind leaves, the highest yield was about 29% by weight. The thermal parameters of the extracted ethanol, including calorific value, density, viscosity, octane number and Cetane number, were analyzed. Blends of tire oil, bio ethanol and gasoline performed better for all these properties. Additionally, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry spectra were used to validate the functional group concentrations of alcohol, alkynes, carbonyl, amide, and aromatic molecules.

Cold pressed virgin coconut oil production: Enhancing energy efficiency through a closed tunnel hot air generation system
Authors: Wasuri Boonthong , Hathairattananon Sombat , Chainok Bopit
Published: September 2023

The primary aim of this paper was to research and develop a closed tunnel house hot air production system, focusing on cost reduction in the cold-pressed coconut oil production process. The study's scope was centered on a case analysis of Tropicana Oil Co. Ltd. situated in Sampran district, Nakhon Pathom province. The research encompassed the design of a system capable of generating hot air and conserving thermal energy within a closed tunnel house environment. This included developing and constructing a prototype system tailored to this purpose. One of the key objectives was to assess the system's efficiency within the closed tunnel house setup. The broader goal was to enhance air temperature while reducing moisture content before initiating the coconut drying process. It was achieved through an electricity-powered hot air-drying technique, the process aimed to efficiently eliminate water or moisture from dried coconut, priming it for the subsequent cold-pressed oil extraction phase. The resulting system is anticipated to yield multiple benefits. It's projected to curtail energy consumption for operators by minimizing temperature losses within the system. This is facilitated by augmenting natural heat to elevate the air and container temperature during baking. Furthermore, this research unveiled insights into the optimal tunnel house configuration as a highly effective heat source. It also advanced knowledge in creating low-humidity heat storage systems and measurement/control mechanisms tailored for specific tasks. These innovations are anticipated to have applications beyond the coconut oil industry, extending to other sectors reliant on heat energy for production processes.
Aproximaciones críticas a la digitalización y el ethos tardomoderno
Authors: García Soto Luis , Martínez Quintanar Miguel Ángel
Published: September 2023

Este artículo explora la digitalización de las sociedades democráticas tardomodernas como una de las realizaciones del programa neoliberal que trabaja en la conformación de nuevas subjetividades. En esta labor el imperativo tecnológico es fundamental porque tiende a convertirse en fuente exclusiva de normatividad. Sus consecuencias son la fragmentación de la experiencia, la quiebra de las identidades, la disrupción y el desvío del deseo de comunidad. Para evitarlas, se apunta cuál puede ser el procedimiento para la construcción de una subjetividad alternativa de tipo democrático-emancipatorio que diverja de los procesos de subjetivación ligados a la digitalización neoliberal. En la realización de esta tarea se recurre a filósofas y filósofos de tradiciones diversas.

Published: September 2023

Los diversos retos de cambio para la sostenibilidad de la vida en los espacios rurales atienden a una serie de procesos, dinámicas y políticas públicas que se exponen en este artículo. Se apunta a una serie de procesos como la construcción de un rural cosmopolita, de espacios de intensa movilidad, de proyectos vitales para una juventud con sus propias necesidades y estilos de vida. Contrastamos cómo estas dinámicas de los territorios de baja densidad requieren políticas públicas adecuadas para combatir las desigualdades y los desequilibrios a fin de cerrar las brechas rural-urbanas. Seguidamente, se introducen los materiales que componen este monográfico y que suscitan el debate sobre los pilares que frenan o alientan el fenómeno de la despoblación.
Cultural Aspects Constraining Mine Water Supply Chain Management in ASAL Areas of Kitui County, Kenya
Authors: Nyile Erastus Kiswili , Kibet Joash Kirwah
Published: September 2023

Kitui County receives low levels of rainfall annually thus considered as Arid and Semi-Arid (ASAL) area. The community has formed many cultural imaginations about water ensuing from scarcity and insufficiency of the commodity in the area. This study sought to establish how community livelihood, beliefs, norms and customs, poverty, rituals and gender involvement constrained mine water supply chain management. The findings showed that there is difficulty in accessing water and the quantity and quality available do not match community domestic needs. Consensus building and factoring in of cultural aspects is key in ensuring success of mining and extraction activities.
Entrega Legal de Crianças e Adolescentes para Adoção
Authors: Pereira Clara Beatriz de Andrade , Rêgo Clara Lis , Rodrigues Gessica Raquel Clemente
Published: September 2023

A previsão legal de entrega voluntária de bebês para adoção foi incluída no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) em 2017, introduzido no Estatuto pela referida Lei nº 13.509. Como essa previsão legal é relativamente recente, ela ainda não chegou ao pleno conhecimento de grande parte da população, levando a considerar que a falta de informação acarreta um prejuízo irreparável para mães e crianças. A entrega legal baseia-se na possibilidade de uma gestante entregar seu filho ou recém nascido para adoção em um procedimento em tramitação pela Justiça da Infância e da Juventude. Essa entrega procura proteger crianças e evitar condutas que perante a lei são proibidas como aborto fora dos permissivos legais, abandono e adoção irregular. Dessarte, à vista dos fatos expostos, a informação sobre a entrega voluntária de criança para adoção deve ser acessível. É justamente por essa razão que o presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de discorrer sobre a entrega legal por meio da revisão de literatura. Os resultados expõem que fatores econômicos, juntamente com aspectos sociais e psíquicos influenciam no ato da entrega, além da inexistência de uma rede social de apoio, que é o fator que mais contribui para essa decisão. Verifica-se a necessidade de ações que desmistifiquem a entrega em adoção, a fim de ampliar tal prática de forma legal, reduzindo os riscos para a vida das crianças e adolescentes em adoções irregulares, e ampliar as informações para a sociedade sobre a entrega voluntária.

Published: September 2023

Penelitian tentang ajaran teoigis Hyper-grace dalam Roma 5:20 dimaksudkan untuk mencari jawaban apakah ajaran tentang hyper-grace sebagai kasih karunia yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Alkitab mengenai kasih karunia. Dalam Perjanjian Lama Allah menunjukan kasih karunia-Nya kepada bangsa Israel melalui nabi-nabi dan mujizat-mujizat yang Allah lakukan bagi bangsa Israel untuk menyelamatkan mereka dari perbudakan dosa dan perbudakan fisik. Sedangkan dalam Perjanjian Baru Allah menyatakan kasih karunia-Nya melalui pengorbanan Yesus Kristus diatas kayu salib untuk menyelamatkan manusia dari kutukan dosa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti apakah kasih karunia tersebut mengampuni dosa manusia dahulu, sekarang dan yang akan datang serta kasih karunia tersebut membuat manusia bebas dalam melakukan dosa? Sampai saat ini, hal ini menjadi sebuah perbedebatandiantara ajaran-ajaran Kristen. Penelitian ini mendapat beberapa keleriuan dari ajaran hyper-grace yaitu ajaran ini menentang hukum Taurat dengan alasan bahwa hukum Taurat ditambahkan agar dosa bertambah semakin banyak. Dalam Roma 5:20 adalahpenjelasan rasul Paulus agar manusia sadar bahwa kasih karunia Allah memiliki kekuatan yang memiliki maut dan ayat tersebut bermaksud agar manusia dapat melihat bahwa meskipun mereka melakukan yang jahat dimata Allah, Allah memiliki kasih yang luar biasa untuk mengampuni mereka dengan demikian manusia sadar akan dosanya dan berbalik kepada Allah.
