Authors: Razumovsky A. Yu. , Stepanenko N. S. , Kislenko A. A.
Published: August 2022

Congenital esophageal stenosis is a rare developmental anomaly. It occurs with a frequency of about 1 case per 20-50 thousand newborns and accounts for about 3-5% of the total number of congenital malformations. In the initial diagnosis, it is difficult to differentiate it from other stenoses caused by inflammatory changes in the mucous membrane of the esophagus, the final diagnosis becomes clear only after treatment and dilation.Treatment of congenital esophageal stenosis can be carried out in various ways. Endoscopic dilation is an effective and safe method of treatment, while surgical intervention is intended only for stenoses that do not respond to dilation.
Stakeholder Perception and Institutional Approach to Rooftop Gardening (RTG) of Urban Areas in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Authors: Shahidullah Md , Lopez-Capel Elisa , Shahan Asif Mohammad
Published: August 2022

Dhaka is one of the world's most populated cities and lacks the open fields and greeneries required for healthy living. Whereas urban sustainability depends on the greenness of the environment and the reduction of food dependency on the rural supply, currently, the city is failing to meet both requirements. The aim of this research is to understand why rooftop gardening (RTG) has failed to find its place in the policy agenda of Bangladesh, despite having support from citizens and experts. In answering this question, the authors have analysed the current state of rooftop gardening in Bangladesh with its major challenges and opportunities, explored the perception held by the city residents and agriculture professionals toward rooftop gardening, and discussed the existing institutional structure affecting the current rooftop gardening practices. The research presented in this paper argues that even though citizens have a positive attitude about rooftop gardening and experts consider it a viable opportunity, the existing policy process has hindered it from being a part of the policy agenda. Two online surveys were conducted on city residents and agriculture professionals from government and academic institutions. Interested participants from both categories participated in online interviews for in-depth discussions. In effect, the study shows that in the case of Dhaka city, the issue-framing is still at a very early stage. Though experts understand the value of RTG, they have not managed to raise enough awareness. From this perspective, experts have not played an adequate 'instrumental' role. As these two streams are quite weak, they are unlikely to join forces and intersect with the politics stream, where no attention to Rooftop gardening (RTG) can be observed at this point. Consequently, the researchers have not seen the RTG issue achieve enough policy momentum.

THE COMPLETE APPROACH TO THE IMPACT OF SELECTED
LUBRICATING ADDITIVES ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
OF ENGINE OILS BY MEANS OF A PARTIAL EXPERIMENTAL
DESIGN
Authors: Bąkowski Henryk
Published: August 2022

This paper presents the effect of lubricating additives used in engine oils on wear processes characteristic
of rolling contact in the presence of a lubricating medium. A comprehensive approach to the problem was
proposed by applying a D-optimal poliselective experimental design incorporating the influence of the most
significant operational factors (load, temperature and lubricating additives). The study aimed to compare the
effect of lubricants on surface wear at elevated temperatures using oils typical of engines used in passenger
vehicles as a base enriched with additives. Using graphite, molybdenum disulphide, and ultra-dispersible
copper particles can bring advantages and disadvantages that will increase the wear of engine components
instead of prolonging their operation. Tribological tests were carried out on a T-03 tribotester (four-ball
apparatus) under operating conditions taking into account the influence of temperature, load, type of additive
or engine oil of different viscosity. The tribological tests carried out made it possible to determine the values of
friction coefficients and the durability of the tested combination, while metallographic tests made it possible
to determine the wear trace and, thus, the intensity of wear.
Influence of a steel substrate surface roughness
ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A PEEK COATING
DEPOSITED WITH THE ELECTROPHORETIC METHOD
Authors: Otto Mateusz , Fiołek Aleksandra , Zimowski Sławomir
Published: August 2022

The mechanical properties, adhesion and roughness of polymer coatings depend on many factors, including
the unevenness of the substrate surface. Nevertheless, the influence of the substrate surface roughness is
related to the coating type and substrate material and the used deposition method. Therefore, the effect
of the surface roughness of a structural steel substrate on the mechanical properties of a PEEK coating is
ambiguous. The indentation tests conducted show that, at a specific load of the indenter, the roughness of the
steel substrate surface does not significantly affect the Vicker’s hardness of the tested PEEK coatings. The
average Vicker’s hardness and elastic modulus are approximately 300 MPa and 5.6 Gpa, respectively, at the
lowest of the applied loads, regardless of the surface roughness level of the steel substrate. Nevertheless, the
surface roughness of the steel substrate after fine grinding of Ra = 0.21 μm, compared to the polished one with
Ra = 0.005 μm, meant that adhesion improved, and the scratch hardness increased by approximately 130 to
370 [MPa] of the PEEK coating.

Authors: Inyima Chidimma , Nwosu Onyebuchi , Dona-Ezenne Immaculate
Published: August 2022

The novel coronavirus (SAR-COV-2) and its attendant respiratory disease, COVID-19, said to have originated in Wuhan, China in December, 2019 has become a global concern with far-reaching impact on all facets of human life. Its impact on the English language can be seen in the emergence of new forms of expressions, extension of the meaning of existing words and the resuscitation of hitherto not commonly used expressions. A number of these innovations and usages affect the English language generally, yet language use is contextbound revealing the cultural realities of its users and their environment so that language at all times exhaustively catalogues the things, events and processes in its environment of use (Carrol, 1966:102). This study adopts the Functionalist Approach to investigate the linguistic impact of COVID-19 discourse on the Nigerian variety of the English language using data from Nairaland, an online Nigerian forum. It establishes that COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the character of Nigerian English by way of morphemic coinages, phrasal restructuring, syntactic composition, semantic broadening, lexical resuscitation and acronymic coinages.
Tanzania and Kenya: Appraisal of Continued Richness in Languages
Authors: Mous Maarten
Published: August 2022

The article is a plea for sustaining the indigenous languages of Tanzania and Kenya. These languages display an impressive richness in diversity which is diminishing currently. It is important to appreciate the value of the current linguistic diversity and that of multilingualism. The article is based on a presentation at a conference of the Languages of Tanzania project and hence is biased towards the Tanzanian situation. I argue that the success of the language policy of promoting Kiswahili now opens the ways to support the local languages that pose no threat to national unity. Given that this article is a plea and one making ample use of my personal experiences of linguistic research in Tanzania and Kenya the style is more personal and lacks the usual detachment of academic papers.
Quality Assessment of English-Kiswahili Sermon Interpreting from Selected Churches in Dar es Salaam: The Case of Sense Consistency with the Original Message
Authors: Mwinuka Liyenja , Malangwa Pendo , Asheli Nicholous
Published: August 2022

In Tanzania, interpreting mainly takes place in the church setting. English and Kiswahili are the languages mainly used in interpreting in this setting. What remains unclear is whether or not the interpreting services offered in this setting adhere to quality interpreting standards. This paper is concerned with assessing the quality of English-Kiswahili sermon interpreting. Specifically, it sought to find out whether or not there was sense consistency in English-Kiswahili sermon interpreting. The study was done in purposively selected churches in Dar es Salaam. It is guided by sense-based theory. The data was collected through nonparticipant observation and video recording. It was analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that sense consistency with the original message was not consistently adhered to during the English- Kiswahili sermon interpreting. As a result, there were regular communication breakdowns between the preachers and the audience. The inconsistency established was a result of lack of professional training, because it was found that the interpreters were volunteers without any professional training in interpreting. This paper recommends professional training of interpreters to equip them with linguistic and extra-linguistic knowledge, methodology, skills and ethics of interpreting, which will enable them to provide quality interpreting services in churches as well as in other social settings in Tanzania.

Authors: Muganda Godfrey , Keya Antoni , Rutechura Frolence
Published: August 2022

This paper examines okutongerera incantations to determine their semiotic resourcefulness in the giving of presents to Haya newlyweds. The data are from three wedding ceremonies which took place in Bukoba town, Kagera Region. The analysis is informed by social semiotic theory. The findings indicate that the incantations use security-related expressions, precautionary expressions, well-wishing expressions, and main-use-of-thetools/ weapon expressions. These expressions are accompanied by different symbolic actions. The findings show that okutongerera incantations are relatively more resourceful than other kinds of incantations as they have more to communicate regarding the life of the newlyweds than the other kinds do.

Published: August 2022

Background. Staphylococcus aureus is considered the main causal agent of mastitis in dairy herds globally, affecting milk production and constituting a potential risk to public health. The presence of virulence factors such as biofilm formation and slime production favor colonization and persistence of the mammary gland infections. Objective. The study aims to characterize the phenotypes of slime-producing and biofilm-forming S. aureus associated with subclinical mastitis with different CMT (California Mastitis Test) degrees and their relationship with the persistence of infection. Methodology. To characterize the slime-producing and biofilm-forming S. aureus phenotypes, 116 individual milk samples were taken from cows with subclinical mastitis through the CMT, obtaining 80 S. aureus isolates. Slime production on Congo Red agar was determined in vitro, and the conformation of bacterial clusters adherent identified biofilm formation to rigid surfaces and crystal violet staining. Results. 68.8% (55) of the isolates produced slime, of which 20% (16) were considered as producers and 48.8% (39) as intermediate producers. 82.5% (66) of the total isolates were related to the formation of biofilm in different degrees; 1.25% (1) very high trainer, 41.25% (33) high trainer, and 40.0% (32) moderately trainer. Highly biofilm-forming isolates were associated with subclinical mastitis degrees 2 and 3 of the CMT. Implications. The verification of slime and biofilm formation in most of S. aureus isolations obtained from subclinical mastitis may imply that their presence is related to the condition's persistence and severity. Conclusion. The association between the phenotypes of slime-producing and biofilm-forming S. aureus was established with high degrees of the CMT and mammary infection persistence in the cows studied.

Background. Oil palm has the potential to capture and store CO2, however, its growth is influenced by the environment. Objective. Estimate the biomass and the amount of carbon in the stem, leaves and roots of Elaeis guineensis Jacq. on two contrasting soils of the Chiapas Coast. Methodology. Biomass was sampled for organ estimation using the allometric model Y = bXk in its linear form. Carbon content was obtained in stem, leaves and roots. Results. The total biomass increased 42% in Huehuetan with cambisol soil compared to the Acapetahua site with fluvisol soil. The total biomass and stem and leaf ratio presents (R2) of 95 and 94%. The percentage of carbon was higher in stem, followed by leaf and root system. In total, the amount was 524.27 in Huehuetan and 315.75 kg of CO2.plant-1 in Acapetahua. The CO2 equivalence in biomass by plants in Huehuetan was 266.72 and 142.14 Mg of CO2 equivalent.ha-1 for Acapetahua. Implications. The study was limited to two regions with particular environmental characteristics, therefore, the climate and soil differences induce variation in biomass and carbon estimates. Conclusions. The variations between biomass and carbon estimates are influenced by soil type. A significant relationship was found between plant height and the biometric variables of the stem, leaf and root and the total biomass. The amount of carbon stored varied depending on the age, height of the palms and the density of the plantation. The stem was the organ of the plant with the highest carbon content.

Background. A growth curve allows us to identify the potential of animals to gain live weight. The growth curve of local goat kids in northern Mexico is unknown. Objective. Characterize the growth curve of local kids using two non-linear models and estimate the absolute and relative growth rates. Methodology. The Gompertz and Logistic models were used to characterize the growth curve and absolute and relative growth rates of the kids. The models were compared using four goodness-of-fit criteria. Results. The growth curve was similar with both models, the kids had mature weights of 62.5 and 58.3 kg with Gompertz and Logistic, respectively, although their maturation rate was slow. The Gompertz model slightly outperformed the Logistic in the goodness of fit. Both models were similar in estimating absolute and relative growth rates. Implications. The high mature weights obtained by the kids suggest a potential to start a dual-purpose production system in the region, which will result in higher income for producers. Conclusion. Local goat kids from northern Mexico mature slowly but reach a high mature weight.

The forage legumes were laid out in randomised complete block design across three environments. Data collected on growth and yield parameters were subjected  to ANOVA, principal component analysis (PCA) and stability analysis using additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI). Results The result showed that there was significant (p < 0.05) difference among the forage legumes for vegetative traits, stress traits and yield, hence, they could be through breeding. For biomass yield, PC1 and PC2 accounted for 75.16 and 24.84% of G x E respectively based on AMMI. Lablab purpureus is the most yielding, stable, adapted to rain forest and savannah zones, with yield of 28,948.69 kg/ha. PCA revealed that the first three PCs accounted for 87% of the total variation. There was positive and significant association between biomass yield and vegetative traits. Implication. Flourishing vegetative growth is a good indicator of biomass yield. Conclusion. It is recommended that extension agents should encourage the adoption of lablab for production of feeds for ruminants, as it can serve as sustainable land use measure considering the modern restriction on land availability for grazing and solution to incessant pastoral and crop farmers crises in the tropics.

Background. It is undeniable the presence of many other contaminants in the food supply sources, in addition to the pathogens. Objective. The objective of this study was to analyze biogeochemical parameters to evaluate the quality of the water from the applied treatment and at the same time determine the ideal doses of chlorine for the disinfection of the supply waters in Espita, Yucatán. Methodology. The water quality was determined at sample points (i.e. houses in the areas adjacent to supply wells) during the months of August, October, November and December 2019. The biogeochemical parameters sampled were determined based on standardized methods for analysis of drinking water. Results. The free residual chlorine determined in the house-room samples presented lower elevations than necessary (0.10 to 0.25 mg / L) for a residual effect that mitigates the presence of pathogens. According to the comparative analysis, the means of the concentrations of free residual chlorine do not present statistical differences for the four supply wells, which led to a proposed sodium hypochlorite dose of 4.10 and 8.60 mg / L for 0.10 and 0.25 ppm respectively of free residual chlorine. The analysis of the results of the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen (N-NH3) showed the existence of recent contamination in the third and fourth samples; for nitrate nitrogen (N-NO3), specifically elevated concentrations were also found in the first and second sampling. Implications. This analysis is useful for local decision-makers as data-driven or proposed decisions can improve the provision of the water supply service. Conclusions. The results suggest contamination of the water by external agents, for example, from agricultural products such as fertilizers and wastewater from sumps connected to wells. No free chlorine concentrations were found that promote the residual effect, it is necessary to implement continuous verification.

Background. The study of the geographical distribution of species is very useful for understanding the patterns and processes that explain biodiversity and are raw materials for conservation planning based on the generation of maps identifying areas with a high probability of occurrence. Objective. To determine the potential distribution (PD) of C. dodecandra and land use variations in the Yucatan Peninsula (YP). Methodology. A Species Distribution Model (MDE) was used to find areas with suitable environmental conditions for wild populations of Cordia dodecandra, fifteen environmental variables were used to model the optimal conditions for the species and to create the model for PD using the MaxEnt 3.3.3k program, the georeferenced presence records available from herbaria and the data collected in the field were used to map the Known Distribution (DC) of C. dodecandra. The corrected PD (DPC) was calculated by incorporating the land use data obtained from INEGI into the model. Results. The PD of C. dodecandra in the YP was 2,501,938 hectares. The main environmental variables that affect the PD of the species were the type of climate, the precipitation of the wettest month, the precipitation of the wettest quarter and the annual precipitation. CPD decreased by 2 per cent (265,439 hectares) compared to PD. Implications. The analysis identifies areas with a high probability of finding the species, which would help to initiate projects for the development of this species aimed at its conservation. Conclusion. The areas of potential distribution with the greatest probability of presence of Siricote in the Yucatan Peninsula are: the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, the southern and central part of the state of Yucatan and the central area of the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto (Quintana Roo).

Background: Hydraulic properties calculator had been employed by many researchers worldwide, as it is simplified soil water properties prediction by resulting a model. However, the model was formulated by investigating soil samples from all over the USA, which are not similar with Indonesian soil due to different climatic zone. Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of Hydraulic Properties Calculator for Indonesian soil, which is categorized developed under the tropical monsoon climate. Methodology: Undisturbed soil samples were collected from 36 land units of 4 soil types surrounding Karanganyar Regency, Indonesia. Soil properties data included soil permeability, pH (soil reaction), pF, organic matter, particle density, bulk density, porosity, and texture were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, regression analysis, multiple linear regression, and pair T-Test (α=0.05). Results: The results showed the coefficient of determination (R2) of soil available water using laboratory analysis and hydraulic properties calculator was 0.959, but paired t-test resulted P<0.01. This means despite high value of R2, both methods produced different soil available water results. Implications: Further study is required to formulate new model is to predict soil available water of Indonesian soil. Conclusion: The hydraulic properties calculator is less accurate to predict soil Available Water (AW) of selected Indonesian soil.

Background. The rapid technological development of drones has been used in different disciplines as a new tool for the collection of geospatial data. Depending on the application of geospatial data, users may not require high absolute precision and therefore the measurement error within the model (relative precision) may be more important. Objective. To determine the root mean square error and the relative precision of the orthomosaics and digital elevation models at different heights generated with the SfM photogrammetric technique and a drone, over a sinkhole located in the Cenote Ring in the state of Yucatán. Methodology. Aerial images were acquired with a DJI Phantom 4 drone over a sinkhole at two heights, 80 and 100 m. Subsequently, the aerial images were processed obtaining digital elevation models (DEM) and orthomosaic with which the root mean squared error (RMSE) of the UTM coordinates (x, y) and elevations (z) was calculated. Finally, the relative precision was calculated by comparing the measurements in the field with those obtained in the DEMs and orthomosaics. Results. Flights at 100 m altitude showed the least variation in coordinates and elevations compared to flights at 80 m. The highest relative precision was recorded at 100 m high in the orthomosaics and ranged from 0.03 to 0.36 m with an average value of 0.22 m. Implications. With these results we can affirm that it is possible to carry out studies without control points in applications where a consistent and centimeter precision is not required. Conclusion. The 100 m high flights had the lowest RMSE and the highest relative accuracy.

Background: The excessive use of antibiotics in shrimp aquaculture cause severe ecological damage.  Immunostimulant probiotics are an alternative prophylactic treatment to enhanceantioxidant and immune response to reduce mortality induced by pathogenic microbes. Objective: This study investigated the effect of live yeast Debaryomyces hansenii incorporated in diet and in culture water on survival and expression of the antioxidant and immune-related genes in Penaeus vannamei juvenile shrimp. Methodology: Shrimp were fed daily for 10 days with treatments of different doses and a post-infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus as follows: a) control (-) without feed additives and non-infected; b) control (+) without feed additives and infected; c) D. hansenii, 1×106 CFU g-1 feed; d) inulin, 2.5 mg g-1 feed; e) D. hansenii, 1×106 CFU g-1 feed + inulin, 2.5 mg g-1 feed; f) D. hansenii, 2×106 CFU g-1 feed + 1×106 CFU mL-1; g) D. hansenii, 4×106 CFU g-1 feed + 1×106 CFU mL-1. Relative gene expression of lysozyme (LYS), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined in shrimp muscle and hepatopancreas previous to challenge with V. parahaemolyticus. Results: Juvenile shrimp increased the resistance to V. parahaemolyticus infections significantly more than untreated shrimp after D. hansenii administration in feed and water, and mixed with inulin. Relative gene expressions of LYS and SOD increased significantly in shrimp muscle after treated with D. hansenii and D. hansenii + inulin, respectively. SOD and GPX were significantly expressed in shrimp hepatopancreas. Implications: The findings provide new insights to apply yeast immunostimulants in reared shrimp to increase immune response and survival against experimental bacterial infections. Conclusions: In this study, juvenile shrimp exposed to additive immunostimulants increased gene expression in shrimp tissues, muscle and hepatopancreas, and the dose of 1×106 CFU g-1 of D. hansenii in feed was sufficient to increase shrimp survival against V. parahaemolyticus infection.
