Preventing and Combating the Crimes of Sexual Exploitation of Women and Children
Authors: Larii Iurie , Pohila Oleg
Published: May 2023

This scientific article reflects on the massive increase in the level of crime in the commercial sex industry which has been caused by the accelerated process of globalization, global economic integration, the opening of borders, increasing migration, social inequality and economic stratification of society, the spread of poverty, etc. Therefore, it is clear that at this stage in the evolution of society, sexual exploitation, especially of women and children, is turning into a well-organised criminal business with a clearly transnational character, becoming one of the most profitable types of organised crime. For these reasons, it is very important that as many states as possible intensify their efforts in the prevention of sexual exploitation. The scientific approach adopted in this study is a continuation of the research in this area, with some results reflected in the previous studies conducted by the authorsStreszczenieW artykule przedstawiono masowy wzrost poziomu przestpczoci w komercyjnym seksbiznesie, spowodowany przyspieszonym procesem globalizacji, globaln integracj gospodarcz oraz otwarciem granic, rosnc migracj, rosnc nierwnoci spoeczn, rozwarstwieniem ekonomicznym spoeczestwa, rozprzestrzenianiem si ubstwa itp.

Published: May 2023

Background: The purpose of the study was to extend knowledge about the level of motor docility and selected cognitive and motor-cognitive abilities among secondary school students. Materials and Methods: A total of 43 children participated in the study. The Iowa Brace test was administered to assess the motor docility level. The motor-cognitive abilities were assessed by the Witty SEM system. The cognitive abilities were assessed by psychological tests that focused on attention, intellectual potential, and memory. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine the significance of gender differences in the level of motor docility and selected cognitive and motor-cognitive abilities of the students. The Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance was used to determine the significance of differences between age groups. Results: The results indicate a low level of motor docility and cognitive abilities which may be caused by the quantity and quality of the acquired motor experience. Conclusion: Significant differences were observed in tests assessing the speed of thinking (BSQ) and in the mean reaction time in the speed of thinking test (BSRT), especially between the group with the lowest level of motor docility (0-4 points) and the group with a motor docility level at 10-12 points.

An assessment of the groundwater potential of the basement complex within the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, south-west Nigeria, was conducted. Twenty-five points were systematically chosen within the North campus of the Federal Polytechnic and its environs, and assessed for aquifer’s groundwater potentials, groundwater development, and reasons for the failure of some abandoned wells within the study area. The study was conducted using some geological investigations and electrical resistivity methods such as horizontal profiling and vertical electrical sounding using the Wenner array and Schlumberger configuration. Indications from the result show that the electrical resistivity values of the study area range from 40 to 85Ωm, 90 to 120 and 120 to 1,230Ωm. Further analysis of the result using specific interpretative models classified the study area into three potential groundwater zones, namely high groundwater potential terrain, low to medium groundwater potential terrain and poor to lean potential groundwater terrain. The investigation also revealed that the failure of the boreholes situated within the sports complex beside the rector’s office and the one at the staff club were the result of sinking the boreholes in a poor to lean potential groundwater terrain. Similarly, boreholes sank within the high groundwater potential and sourced their water from the weathered and fractured zone, which formed the aquifer within the basement complex of the study area.
A Novel Unified Environmental Quality Control Index based on AI Towards Smart building Optimization
Authors: M Alharbi Yasser
Published: May 2023

Assessment and monitoring of health and working conditions in the workplace is an important issue. Human health, safety and productivity are not only greatly affected by health and working conditions, but the equipment, machinery and materials in those environments can be affected in ways that lead to degradation. This paper presents a way to use artificial intelligence in developing a novel entity index for assessing and monitoring workplace health and conditions of use in intelligent buildings. Based on fuzzy logic, two algorithms were developed to determine the relationships and dependencies between various immediate environmental indicators and underlying environmental variables, to account for these relationships and trends, and finally to represent the indicator values for temperature, health and working conditions. A table was developed with temperature ranges and the effects on occupancy experience within those ranges. The current environmental indicators used in the previously unambiguous algorithm to generate new index values are apparent temperature (air cooling coefficient, wet bulb temperature and heat index), temperature and humidity index, discomfort index, warmth, comfort, and heat capacity. Based on Fuzzy logic, the environment variables of the algorithm are ambient temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity. After developing a complete system model using MATLAB/Simulink, further testing and evaluating the algorithm design, a model was created containing all indexed sub models, fuzzy sub model algorithms, input blocks, and data visualizations.

: For more than a decade, Côte d'Ivoire has become the hub of illicit drugs in Africa. This is shown by the huge quantities (several tons/year) that have been seized by the authorities. Also, young users of these psychoactive substances do no longer hide themselves. However, few studies have been carried out on the epidemiology of drug addiction and on the complications linked to the use of these illicit drugs in Côte d'Ivoire. In this context, we planned to perform an epidemiological analysis of drug use in this country. To this end, a survey conducted using a questionnaire submitted to patients in two detoxification centers in the city of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). It was found from this study that the most illicit drugs commonly used in this country were respectively, cannabis, heroin, cocaine and crack. The preference for cannabis is due to its affordabîlity (relatively low cost). Also, learners (pupils and students) are the biggest consumers of drugs.

Quantification of peat microbial functional diversity in pineapple plantation area is needed to evaluate the response of long-term agricultural managed land. A total of three pineapple plantation in Pontian was chosen for this study. BiologEcoplate™ system was used to evaluate microbial functional diversity. The enumeration of aerobic culturable microorganism was performed using total plate count. Microbial activity, species richness, and aerobic culturable bacteria of PM1 were higher than PS. Microbial catabolic diversity was found not significant in the sampling location. Correlation analysis showed that microbial catabolic diversity was strongly associated with pH. The abundance of aerobic culturable fungi was also strongly associated with culturable actinomycetes. It is concluded that pH shaped the microbial functional diversity in peat by shifting the microbial community through selection and adaptation of microbes that can function in peat.

A new species of weevil under the genus Eupyrgops (Berg, 1898) of the family Curculionidae is discovered on the Salacafe Trail going to Lake Holon, Mt. Melibengoy, T’boli, South Cotabato, Philippines. The genus Eupyrgops is poorly known in the Philippines. There are only 11 species recorded. However, these species were only recorded on Luzon Island. Thus, making this new species a new and lone record in Mindanao, would update the list to 12 species. The new species was collected in an opportunistic manner last May 16-18, 2022. The new species Eupyrgops almae sp. nov. has a resemblance with Eupyrgops mitorajii (Alessandro Bramanti, Andrea Bramanti and Rukmane Barbale, 2020) from Luzon. This single (female holotype) specimen was deposited at the zoology section of the CMU – University Museum as a repository of the vertebrate and invertebrate fauna of Mindanao.

Published: May 2023

Improper waste management practices are a global concern that is impacting the environment, health, and living conditions of households. The practices of corporations and households result in challenges that become evident due to inadequate waste management systems (David, Wenchaoa, Johna & Mmerekib, 2019). The considerations of the people regarding solid waste management can be elevated through spreading awareness of waste management. The awareness levels of the people reflect the practices of waste management that prevail within society. The development of a sustainable infrastructure that includes machinery and systems to correct waste management practices is integral for society. The research focuses on evaluating the lack of proper commercial and domestic waste practices in Montserrado County, Monrovia, Liberia. The method used for this research quantitative method. A structured close-ended questionnaire has been used for conducting a survey analyzing the awareness and practices of the people of Montserrado County. Four hundred respondents' replies were analyzed to better understand people's waste management awareness and habits. The results reflect that people lack awareness of waste management and this reflects in their practices. The religion of the people is a depiction of their lifestyle and household standards.
Electrical impedance of the hydrophobic oil-water interface: contactless measurement
Authors: H Saad Magdi , Bashal Ali Habib
Published: May 2023

We have performed systematic contactless measurements aiming at the determination of the electrical impedance of an oil-water interface. The oil-water interface was formed within an insulin syringe tube due to the oil hydrophobicity. The measurement AC signal (0.1-300 kHz at 0.1 V) was capacitively coupled to the oil-water system through the syringe wall. The interface resistivity was estimated at ~2109m(assuming the interface as a slip layer with width ~ 10 nm) and was associated with hydroxide (OH–) ions, agreeing with existing reports. The resistivity was found to be independent on the signal frequency, which may indicate the nonpolarized nature of the hydrophobic interface. The present impedance spectroscopy is important for hydrophobic systems and may give an insight into the future nondestructive (contactless) investigation of the electrical properties of the lipid layer in the living cell membrane.

Numerical Algorithm for Solving Optimal Control Problems with Mixed Constraints
Authors: T. G. ALABI , O. OLOTU
Published: May 2023

: In this research, the numerical solutions of optimal control problems constrained by ordinary differential equation and integral equation are examined. We obtained the numerical solution by applying the “first discretize then optimize” technique. The discretization of the objective function, differential and integral constraints was done using trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s rule and fourth-order Adams-Moulton respectively. Thereafter, the formulated constrained optimization problem was converted into unconstrained problem by applying augmented lagrangian functional. We finally applied the Quasi-Newton algorithm of the Broydon-Fletcher-Goldfrab-Shannon (BFGS) type to obtain our optimal solution. Two examples of optimal control problems constrained by ordinary differential equation and an integral equation are considered. We obtained promising results with linear convergence.
Hasmenéses sertésekből izolált Escherichia coli törzsek kiterjedt spektrumú ß-laktamáz (ESBL) termelésének vizsgálata
Authors: Kis István Emil , Albert Ervin , Gimesiné Fodor Judit , Czuck Anna , Biksi Imre
Published: May 2023

Background: Extended spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes conferring resistance to the majority of ß-lactam antibiotics in many bacterial species, including Escherichia coli. Bacteria harboring these enzymes could be resistant to 3rd and 4th class cephalosporines and carbapenems, depleting the range of compounds available for treating serious human infections. Objectives: The authors of this study aimed to examine the ESBL production of 50 selected E. coli strains isolated between 2016 and 2022 in Hungary from cases of porcine diarrhea. Materials and Methods: Archived E. coli strains suspected to produce ESBL were selected based on results. The 50 strains tested in the study originated from 27 different farms, 28 were collected from suckling, 22 from weaned piglets. The phenotypic characterization of the strains was achieved using Micronaut-S ß-lactamases MIC plates. Results and Discussion: Phenotypic characterization of selected E. coli strains revealed the presence of ESBL production in 35 strains, two strains additionally produced AmpC cephalosporinase, and one strain only produced AmpC. ESBL producing strains were found on 20 of the 27 farms investigated. Many of the ESBL producing strains originating from cases of neonatal diarrhea did not possess any of the examined virulence factor genes, nor were they ß-hemolytic. ESBL producing strains from post weaning diarrhea cases on the other hand were all ß-hemolytic and had one or several virulence factor genes. ESBL producing strains are likely widespread, although with quite low frequency in the Hungarian swine production system, both among pathogenic and likely commensal groups of E. coli. Continuous monitoring of ESBL producing strains is warranted, possibly with the inclusion of ESBL selective media or other methods of identification in routine AST, especially in case of E. coli strains isolated from suckling piglets.

In the current era of globalization which is marked by various kinds of changes in aspects of human life, especially changes in developments in the field of information technology which is growing rapidly from year to year. Developments in this field aim to improve an effective and efficient data collection system, both in a company and in government. To implement the data collection system, a company and government really need a program in managing employee/employee data that is more effective to maintain the smooth operation of a company and government. The procedure for processing employee data at the Public Works Department of Highways of South Sumatra Province has been supported by technology, but its use is only limited to processing data using application packages in Microsoft Office, namely Excel and Word. Basically the application can meet the need for data processing required but there are some things that are lacking. The system that runs on the Personnel Subdivision of the Public Works Department of Highways still has problems in terms of storing employee data and other reports. Until now in the storage of a data is still classified as semi-computerized. Therefore we need a computerized data storage concept so that various difficulties related to employee data processing can run efficiently.
