Authors: Teunissen Coen , Cahill Michael , Napier Sarah , Cubitt Timothy , Boxall Hayley , Brown Rick
Published: July 2024

This study examined the sexual exploitation of children on dating apps, and their revictimisation as adults. Findings showed that, from a sample of 9,987 Australian dating platform users surveyed, 8.8 percent had used these platforms while under 18 years of age. Of these, 59.3 percent reported receiving at least one sexually exploitative request from another dating platform user who knew they were under 18. Respondents who were victimised on dating platforms while under 18 were more likely to be revictimised as an adult through online and offline sexual violence. They also experienced a greater number of harms. These findings highlight the risks associated with underage dating platform use, the potential for revictimisation as an adult, and the need for these platforms to implement additional safety measures to reduce access among children and adolescents.

Published: July 2024

Heavy metal toxicity is a real threat to the environment, crop productivity, and the health of humans and their animals, especially when the toxicity enters the food chain. This study investigates the effect of cadmium on the physiological and molecular levels of ten introduced wheat genotypes. Genotypes were stressed by cadmium (75 mg.L-1) in comparison with unstressed treatment to highlight their response to the cadmium. The experiment was laid out as a factorial arrangement in RCBD, with three replicates. The genotypes included in this study varied in their response to cadmium stress during the laboratory tests. Notably, genotype G-41 was superior to the rest of the genotypes in terms of seed vigor (18.58), chlorophyll content (8.72 mg.g-1), and carotenoid content (4.87 mg.g-1), while genotype IRAQ had wider epidermis in the root (2.28 µm) and ordinary epidermis cells (3.10 µm). Cadmium boosted some physiological and anatomical traits (e.g., REC, Chlorophyll, carotenoids, length and width of root epidermis cells). However, cadmium concentration caused a deterioration in some anatomical traits, including cortex thickness and the length of the ordinary epidermis cells. Some wheat genotypes showed more resistance to cadmium stress than others, and G-3 was notably affected by cadmium treatment and this was associated with the high PCS1 expression of the enzyme that chelates Cd to the vacuole (39 folds). It can be concluded that cadmium reduced the physiological performances except for some genotypes that showed more tolerance. Those genotypes could therefore be investigated further to assess the accumulation of cadmium in their grains.

Published: July 2024

The study was designed to analyse the impact of capital formation and investment sources on Nigeria's agricultural productivity from the period 1980 - 2021. The time series data were analysed with Malmquist Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the tobit regression models using DEA, the Total Factor Productivity Change, which quantifies the degree of productivity, was estimated at 1.022, which implies an average productivity progress of 2.2% annually. Again, since the value of technical efficiency change is less than technological change, it implies that the productivity gains are mainly attributable to technological progress instead of efficiency improvements in the periods under the study. The results of tobit regression indicate that domestic capital formation significantly influences agricultural TFP, highlighting the importance of government expenditure on agriculture (GEA) and gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) in enhancing productivity, although with minimal effects. Human capital formation (HCF) also showed positive impacts on Total Factor Productivity TFP, suggesting that improvements in workforce skills and knowledge are crucial for agricultural efficiency. However, FDI exhibited no significant correlation with TFP, implying that local investments are more beneficial than foreign aids in the context of Nigeria's agricultural sector. The findings emphasize the need for robust policy frameworks that align capital disbursements with agricultural production periods to optimize TFP. This study contributes to the discourse on agricultural productivity by providing empirical evidence on the critical role of capital investments in enhancing TFP within developing economies like Nigeria.
A comparative phytochemical investigation and antioxidant activity of Quisqualis indica L.
Authors: Habeeeb Hadeel M.
Published: July 2024

Quisqualis indica L. is an herbaceous plant with many active ingredients that function as antioxidants and anticancer agents. Traditional medicine has long employed Quisqualis indica L. as an anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and anti-diabetic plant. The study aims to compare the antioxidant activity of leaves and flowers. By employing a particular reagent, a qualitative examination revealed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins. Flavonoids and phenolic compounds were isolated from leaves and flowers such as hydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid, catechin, Rutin, kaempferol, and sinapic acid. According to the HPLC analysis, flowers contain a higher percentage of flavonoids and phenolic compounds than leaves. For the ascorbic acid, the antioxidant activity shows that the plant has significant inhibition activity against free radicals in both the leaves and the flowers, and the flowers are more active than the leaves. Also, the antioxidant activity increases with increasing concentration from 25 to 400 mg mL-1; the IC50 values for the flowers were 100 µg mL-1 and 200 µg mL-1 for the leaves.

Аналіз зовнішньоторговельних відносин дає змогу країнам та підприємствам, що здійснюють міжнародну торгівлю, адаптуватися до змін у світовій торговельній системі, ефективно реагувати на виклики та використовувати можливості для економічного зростання. Крім того, такий аналіз сприяє зміцненню міжнародних економічних зв'язків, підвищенню конкурентоспроможності національних економік і поліпшенню добробуту населення.Динамічність процесу розвитку зовнішньої торгівлі вимагає постійного моніторингу її стану, визначення і врахування факторів, що впливають на ефективність зовнішньоторговельної діяльності, тому в статті досліджено показники експорту й імпорту України за агрегованими технологічними товарними групами за період 2018 – 2022 рр., визначені головні торговельні партнери та оцінено збалансованість зовнішньої торгівлі за допомогою коефіцієнта покриття імпорту експортом. Більш детально проаналізовано торгові відносини з найбільшими партнерами України – Польщею і Китаєм.Структура товарного експорту та зміни, які в ній відбуваються, свідчать про її незадовільний характер. Така структура не дозволяє повноцінно конкурувати на міжнародних ринках українським товарам. Поки що, Україна залишається переважно сировинною країною. Якщо розглядати другу складову зовнішньоторговельних відносин – товарний імпорт, то можна сказати, що він постійно перевищує величину експорту, що є негативним фактором з точки зору ефективності національної економіки.Визначено, що зовнішньоторговельні відносини України перебувають у стані динамічної еволюції, що формується як можливостями, так і викликами. Стратегічні зусилля країни, спрямовані на диверсифікацію експортних ринків, зменшення залежності від імпорту енергоносіїв та зміцнення економічних зв'язків з ЄС мають важливе значення для сприяння сталому зростанню.Продовження реформ, інвестиції в ключові сектори та використання переваг торговельних угод матимуть вирішальне значення для забезпечення ефективної діяльності України в складних умовах глобальної торгівлі. Оскільки країна адаптується до мінливого геополітичного та економічного ландшафту, її зовнішньоторговельні відносини залишатимуться вирішальним фактором економічного процвітання та глобальної інтеграції.

Water is an important substance for all life on earth, and it is essential for human beings, financial improvement, and the existence of ecological units. The quality and quantity of the water supply is very important, especially during irrigation. Due to the extensive measurement of water and colour associated with the manufacturing process, textile printing, and dyeing production lines around the world pose a major environmental risk. Textile wastewater contains a lot of pollutants including pH, temperature, shade, COD, BOD, TSS, TDS, EC, and heavy metals. This textile runoff continues to irrigate agricultural land, causing contamination of soils and plant systems with heavy metals. Therefore, adding organic and inorganic modifiers to soil is an effective technique for fixing heavy metals. Irrigate pots with textile wastewater of selected concentrations (10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) collected in specific industrial sectors. The parameters of vegetative growth are reduced by increasing the concentration of textile effluent. Note the substantial reduction in the growth of plants applying wastewater at 100% concentration. In the case of T5, a significant increase in growth parameters was observed, where only tap water was used to pressurize the sludge, while dilute wastewater also enhanced growth at concentrations of 10% and 25%. For the chlorophyll content of mung bean plants, when the wastewater concentration is 100%, the recorded decrease is greater, followed by 10% and 25% respectively. The presence of heavy metals in wastewater reduces plant growth. In the experiment, all four treatments contained organic amendments (pressed sludge, poultry manure, biogas slurry, and farmyard manure). The other four treatment methods are pressure treatment of textile wastewater and the amount of organic modifier is 2%. By adding a correcting agent, the utilization rate of Cr is reduced, as the correcting agent will increase the pH of the soil, thus reducing the solubility of the metal. In addition, Cr can form insoluble complexes with organic materials, thus reducing its solubility.

Proses judicial review atas Undang Undang Omnibus Law di Mahkamah Konsitusi belum juga bisa menjadi harapan bagi rakyat mendapatkan keadilan.
IMMISCIBLE VISCOUS FINGERING MODELING OF TERTIARY POLYMER FLOODING BASED ON REAL CASE OF HEAVY OIL RESERVOIR MODEL
Authors: Silveira B. M. O. , Botechia V. E. , Schiozer D. J. , Skauge A.
Published: July 2024

In immiscible displacements, lower viscosity injected fluids with higher mobility than crude oil can create viscous fingers, affecting displacement efficiency. The Buckley–Leverett approach for relative permeabilities (kr) may not represent accurately 2D features like increased water saturation in viscous fingering. Based on the physics issue, this work applies Sorbie's 4-Steps methodology to a 3D simulation of an offshore heavy oil reservoir focusing on waterflooding and tertiary polymer flooding, assessing their impact on oil production forecasts. It also explores the application of this methodology to coarse grid simulation models, employing pseudo kr functions by data assimilation. During tertiary polymer injection, two processes were identified in oil displacement: viscous crossflow mechanism and oil bank mobilization by a second finger. This combination resulted in earlier and increased oil production. For both strategies, refining the grid increased simulation runtime from minutes to days compared to coarse grids, making it impractical for intensive processes. From data assimilation, the best solution with matched field indicators reduced runtime from days to minutes. This study expanded the 4-Steps methodology for 3D reservoir simulation, proposing kr as uncertainties. Data assimilation enhances the methodology, generating pseudo kr for coarser grid simulations, reducing computational costs, and capturing small-scale phenomena.

Sztuczne włókna mineralne, z wyjątkiem ogniotrwałych włókien ceramicznych – włókna respirabilne. Dokumentacja proponowanych wartości dopuszczalnych wielkości narażenia zawodowego
Authors: Bruchajzer Elżbieta ,   Jadwiga, Szymańska Jadwiga
Published: July 2024

Sztuczne włókna mineralne (man-made mineral fibers – MMMF) charakteryzują się dobrymi właściwościami izolacyjnymi. Stosowane są jako zamienniki azbestu. Sztuczne włókna szkliste (man-made vitreous fibers – MMVF) to nieorganiczne materiały włókniste produkowane ze szkła, skał, minerałów, żużla i przetworzonych tlenków nieorganicznych. Narażenie zawodowe w Polsce na wartości powyżej 10% NDS dotyczy kilkuset osób. Żadna z nich nie była eksponowana na stężenia przekraczające wartość NDS, tj. 1 włókno/cm3 . O toksyczności MMMF decyduje długość włókien, ich średnica i biotrwałość. Sztuczne włókna mineralne działają drażniąco na skórę, oczy i drogi oddechowe. Gromadzą się w płucach i powodują stany zapalne, zwłóknienia, zmiany proliferacyjne. Z badań epidemiologicznych wynika, że zależność występowania raka płuca od narażenia na MMMF nie jest jednak jednoznaczna. Zmianom takim może sprzyjać palenie tytoniu. U zwierząt narażanych inhalacyjnie zdolności organizmu do oczyszczania płuc są znaczne. Po wstrzyknięciu włókien do tchawicy lub jamy otrzewnej częstość występujących u zwierząt lokalnych międzybłoniaków zależała od podanej dawki. Nie ma podstaw do zmiany obowiązującej w Polsce wartości NDS dla respirabilnych sztucznych włókien mineralnych (z wyjątkiem ogniotrwałych włókien ceramicznych), która wynosi 1 włókno/cm3 . Brakuje podstaw do wyznaczenia wartości NDSCh, NDSP i DSB. Z uwagi na trudne do interpretacji dane epidemiologiczne dotyczące ewentualnego działania rakotwórczego proponuje się dodać oznakowanie „Carc. 2” (substancja, którą rozpatruje się jako rakotwórczą dla człowieka) oraz „I” ze względu na działanie drażniące na skórę.

This research is carried out at the Educational Institution No. 35005 Reverend Father Bardo Bayerle of the Province of Oxapampa, Peru. We demonstrate that when there is a strong cultural identity, this means that the intercultural attitude of students is also strengthened. Cultural identity is a value that is currently being lost. This is a negative phenomenon, since with the reaffirmation of what one is culturally then one can consolidate the relationship with other groups. In this paper this phenomenon is studied from a statistical perspective on a survey carried out on students of this institution, some of them belonging to the target group and others belonging to the control group. To obtain more reliable results we apply Plithogenic Statistics, which is a generalization of Multivariate Statistics, where more than one random variable is studied simultaneously. Specifically, plithogenic statistics incorporates new components within the statistical study such as falsity or indeterminacy.

Published: July 2024

Yirminci yüzyıl, Dünya üzerinde meydana gelen savaşlardan ve soykırımlardan dolayı milyonlarca insanın hayatını kaybettiği acı bir dönem olarak tarihe geçmiştir. 1990’lı yılların yazarları, insanların kitlesel biçimde ölümüne sebep olan şiddet olaylarını gün yüzüne çıkarıp bir farkındalık oluşturmak amacıyla, bu acı olayları sahneye taşımaya başlamışlardır. Bu yazarlardan biri olan Philip Ridley, Kürklü Merkür adlı oyununda insanların yaşamış oldukları travmatik olaylardan dolayı ortaya çıkan psikolojik rahatsızlıkları oyundaki karakterler vasıtasıyla gözler önüne sermektedir. Böylelikle, yirminci yüzyıl insanlarının yaşamış oldukları içsel sorunları sahnede yansıtarak, tek çözüm yolunun ölüm olmadığını ironik bir şekilde seyircilere anlatmıştır. Bununla birlikte, oyundaki karakterlerin içsel bunalımlarına sebep olan güç elde etme isteği, onların ölümüne sebep olmaktadır. Diğer bir deyişle, psikolojik olarak iradesini kontrol altına alamayan insanlar, kendi hırslarının kurbanı olmaktadırlar. Suratına tiyatro akımının iyi bir örneği olan oyun, insanlığın karanlık geleceğini yansıtarak onların iç dünyalarına ayna tutmaktadır. Kürklü Merkür izleyicilerine, çevrelerinde ortaya çıkan şiddet olaylarından bireylerin, özellikle de ebeveynsiz çocukların, psikolojik olarak nasıl olumsuz etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Ebeveyn kontrolü dışında büyüyen bu savunmasız çocukların, ergenlik çağlarına eriştiklerinde yaşadıkları psikolojik bunalımlardan dolayı acı çekecek olmaları kaçınılmaz bir gerçektir. Bu makalenin amacı, Philip Ridley’in Kürklü Merkür oyunundaki karakterlerin yaşamış olduğu psikolojik problemlerinin nedenlerini ortaya koyarak, aslında yirminci yüzyıl insanının iç dünyasına ışık tutmaktır.

Based on the results of the literature study, it was found that the management and control of information systems really need to be applied to MSMEs in Indonesia. This is because threats to information systems and technology in MSMEs are unavoidable conditions. Generally, MSMEs already know this, but they have only taken the most basic information system management and control actions, and there are still many MSMEs that have not taken information system management and control actions.

Authors: Nuruddeen Mohammed
Published: July 2024

The study assessed the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in agricultural extension services delivery among farmers in Yobe state, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to identify the ICTs available to the farmers in the study area, ascertain the level of access to ICTs among the farmers in the study area and identify, determine the use of ICTs among the farmers in the study area, identify the constraints to the use of ICTs among the farmers in the study area. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 130 respondents for the study. The target populations were obtained from the sampling frame of all contact farmers in the state Agricultural Zones. Both Primary and secondary data were used in the study. Primary data were collected using a well-structured questionnaire and interview schedule, while secondary data were obtained from records of YOSADP, articles, and publications. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, mean, and Likert scale. The analysis results revealed that mobile phones, radio, internet, and television were the most available and accessible ICT tools used by the sampled respondents in the study area. The severity of the constraints to the use of ICT facilities among the respondents shows lack of electricity supply as the 1st ranked impediment among others (WMS of 3.6), followed by lack of funds and high illiteracy level (WMS of 3.2) each and inadequate access to ICT gadgets (WMS of 3.1). In conclusion, there was low usage of ICT facilities in the study area, and the respondents had low knowledge of useful information, as imposed by some constraining factors. Overcoming these challenges would ensure increased use of ICTs for agricultural activities in the study area. Recommendations such as awareness/sensitization on the use of ICT facilities such as the internet and computer to enable farmers utilize the tools effectively for agricultural information transfer and retrieval, dissemination of agricultural-related information through radio and television programs, as well as mobile phones, would be recommended for agricultural development, the use of renewable energy such as solar panels in the utilization of ICT tools particularly in rural areas and enactment of new government policy for the incorporation of ICT gadgets in extension services delivery to farmers to increase their confidence, competence and skills in using ICTs.
Spatial patterns of European innovation: a spatial econometric approach with technological proximity weights
Authors: Furková Andrea ,   University of Economics in Bratislava
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with a spatial econometric analysis of 220 European regions. The analysis follows the Mixed Geographically Weighted Regression – Spatial Autoregressive approach. Patent applications were a proxy for innovation output. Instead of traditionally applied geographical proximity, the technological similarity was considered. The results supported the assumption of spatial differentiation of model parameters and indicated that regional innovation activities do not have only a local character in almost half of the regions. The region's technological similarity appears to be a significant factor stimulating innovation for regions that are not among the top innovators.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to investigate farmers' perceptions of land degradation in Vietnam, where land degradation is considered one of the nation's most pressing issues. Based on survey data from 826 farmers in three representative regions of Vietnam, the study reveals that over 85% of the respondents have observed indications of land degradation on their farms. The farmers' perceptions of land degradation indicators were influenced by regional topography. Inappropriate farming techniques, excessive chemical use, and a lack of knowledge were reported as the main causes of land degradation. Furthermore, the farmers had limited understanding of land degradation and the benefits of soil conservation measures. Sustainable land management adopters exhibited better perceptions of land degradation and measures for land improvement compared to non-adopters. Therefore, it is crucial to increase farmers' awareness of land degradation and the advantages of adopting sustainable land practices, and this should be accomplished through widespread dissemination via mass and local media in the future.
Microbiological Quality of Fresh Produce in Southeast Asia: An Assessment of Risks, Challenges, and Opportunities
Authors: Vital Pierangeli , Rivera Windell
Published: July 2024

The consumption and production of fresh produce have been steadily increasing. In Southeast Asia, increased production and consumption of fresh produce can be attributed to efforts to attain food security, promote export industries, and meet escalating consumer demands. However, the fresh produce industry in Southeast Asia faces many challenges that hinder its ability to provide safe and wholesome products. One of these issues is the microbial contamination of fresh produce, which is now widely acknowledged as a major contributor to food poisoning and other foodborne illnesses. Although the information on the microbiological quality of fresh produce is available in other countries, data are limited in most Southeast Asian countries. This paper discusses the microbiological quality of fresh produce in Southeast Asia and the major sources of microbial contamination of fresh produce in the context of certain agricultural practices in this region. This paper argues that the lack of information on the microbiological quality of fresh produce significantly undermines efforts to establish guidelines and standards for fresh produce quality and hinders understanding of the potential risks and impacts of fresh produce contamination. This paper concludes with a discussion of future prospects and intervention opportunities to address the problem of microbial contamination of fresh produce in Southeast Asia.
