Comparative Response of Conventional and Quality Protein Maize Hybrids to High Population Densities in the Southern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria
Authors: Bello O B
Published: August 2021

Optimum plant population is very important in enhancing high and stable grain yield especially in quality protein maize (QPM) production. A field trial was therefore conducted to compare the performance of six hybrids (three each of QPM and normal endosperm) at three population densities using a split-plot design at the sub-station of the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority, Oke-Oyi, in the southern Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria during the 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons. Plant population -1 densities (53,333, 66,666, and 88,888 plants ha ) constituted the main plots and the six hybrids were assigned to the subplots, replicated three times. Our results showed a differential response of maize -1 hybrids to high densities, with plant populations above 53,333 plants ha reduced grain yield, and this is more pronounced in QPM than normal endosperm hybrids. This is contrary to the results observed in many other countries. This might be that the hybrids were selected in low yield potential area at low plant densities, and hence not tolerant to plant density stress. It may also be due to low yield potential of the experimental site, which does not allow yield increases at high plant densities. Though normal endosperm hybrids 0103-11 and 0103-15 as well as QPM Dada-ba were superior for grain yield among -1 the hybrids at 53,333 plants ha , hybrid 0103-11 was most outstanding. Therefore, genetic improvement of QPM and normal endosperm hybrids for superior stress tolerance and high yield could be enhanced by selection at higher plant population densities.
Statistical Analysis of Growth and Amylase Production by Aspergillus flavus grown on Different Carbon Sources
Authors: Oyewale M O
Published: August 2021

The mycelial dry weight and dinitrosalicylic acid (D.N.S.A.) method was used to determine growth and amylase production by Aspergillus flavus grown on different carbon sources. Growth of the fungus was determined at 24 h intervals over a period of six days by the dry mycelial weight methods, while the amylase activity in the culture filtrates of A. flavus was determined by the D.N.S.A method. A total of 45 samples were prepared to determine growth and amylase activity of Aspergillus flavus grown on different carbon sources. The concentration of the various carbon sources ranges between 0.4 to 2% W/V. Duncanâ€™s multiple range test was used to determine the level of significance of the different carbon sources for effective growth and amylase production by Aspergillus flavus. Aspergillus flavus demonstrated the capability to produce significant growth and amylase activities in the medium containing soluble starch, sorghum and cassava peel as sole carbon source. The amount of mycelial dry weight produced from soluble starch, sorghum and cassava peel is significantly higher than those produced from other carbon sources. The data revealed that there is a correlation between growth and amylase production by Aspergillus flavus. The available data from this study showed that soluble starch is the best carbon source for optimum growth and amylase production by A flavus while sorghum and cassava peel are close substitute for optimum growth and amylase production by Aspergillus flavus.

Alkaloid and Non Alkaloid Extracts of Solanum melongena Leaves as Green Corrosion Inhibitors on Carbon Steel in Alkaline Medium
Authors: Ugi B U
Published: August 2021

The corrosion and inhibition behavior of Carbon steel (CS) in high alkaline solution [Sodium trioxocarbonate (IV)] in the presence of alkaloid and non alkaloid extracts of Solanum melongena leaves have been studied using conventional methods - mass loss and gasometric techniques. The results indicate that the extracts inhibit the corrosion of Carbon steel. However, the Alkaloid extract of Solanum melongena leaves (AESML) exhibits higher maximum inhibition efficiency of 81.1% than Non alkaloid extract of Solanum melongena leaves [NAESML] (65.1%) at 3.0 g/L concentration. Inhibition efficiency increase with increasing concentration of extracts but decreased with rise in temperature. Inhibition mechanism was deduced from the activation and thermodynamic parameters that govern the process. Adsorption of extract on the CS was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The phenomenon of physical adsorption is proposed from the obtained thermodynamic parameters.

Authors: Lawal R A
Published: August 2021

Securidaca longepedunculata is a savannah shrub found growing in tropical Africa. It is reputed to have more than a hundred medicinal uses and is a major component of anticancer decoctions in Nigeria. Despite its reported use as an anti-cancer plant, there is a dearth of information on the anti-cancer potential and mechanism of its anticancer activity. The present study is to identify the chemical constituents present in Securidaca longepedunculata Â by quantitative Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and determine the cytotoxic effect of the plant on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. Secondary metabolites in the extract were predicted using GC-MS. In vitro cytotoxic activity was determined using the trypan blue dye exclusion assay by incubating Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells with various concentrations of S. longepedunculata aqueous extract. Analysis by GC-MS revealed the presence of the following compounds: bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (90.99%), 1-decanol (4.17%) and cyclododecane (1.86%), phenol, 2, 21-methylene bis (1.32%), cyclopenten-4-one, 3-hydroxy-1, 2, 3, 5, 51-pentakis (trimethylsilyloxy)- (0.89%) and phenol, 2, 4-bis (1, 1-dimethylethyl)(0.78%). Securidaca longepedunculata aqueous extract (SL) was cytotoxic to Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells in vitro. The IC50 of SL on EAC cells was 67 Âµg/ml. The aqueous root-bark extract of S. longepedunculata contains bioactive agents and was cytotoxic to Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells in vitro.

In group theory, given two groups G and H, it is possible to construct a new group from the Cartesian product of G and H, G Ã— H. With this as a motivation, we replicate this concept in fuzzy group algebra. In this paper, we take a slight deviation from the familiar definition of fuzzy bigroup by looking at fuzzy bigroup from the idea of Cartesian product of groups. We define Cartesian fuzzy function on groups and give examples. We also define Cartesian fuzzy bigroup and study some of its basic properties.

Authors: Baig S. S. , Xue C. , Alam Masroor , Ullah Naeem , Alam M. , Hussain S. A.
Published: August 2021

The Karakoram metamorphic Complex (KMC) in the southern Karakoram block is one of the best examples of Barrovian type metamorphism that comprises numerous exhumed metapelite units where a series of low to high grade (green schist to sillimanite facie) rocks are exposed. This sequence shows a complex polyphase history of metamorphism and deformation which offer deeper understanding of collision orogeny. Karakoram metamorphic Complex contains metapelites, meta-carbonates, meta-igneous and amphibolite layers, cross-cut by granite sheets in the northern part. This complex is bounded to the north by the Hunza plutonic unit which is the central portion of the massive east-west trending Karakoram axial batholith and to the southwest by the Main Karakoram thrust (MKT). In this contribution, we provide detail geological mapping, petrography, geochemistry and micro-analytical work using Electron Prob-micro analysis in the central Hunza Valley.

PERTAMBANGAN DAN DEFORESTASI: STUDI PERIZINAN TAMBANG BATUBARA DI PROVINSI KALIMANTAN TIMUR
Authors: Sonny Sonny , Wardhana Isal
Published: August 2021

Penelitian ini mengurai pertambangan dan deforestasi dengan mengangkat studi perizinan tambang batubara khususnya di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif, yakni suatu prosedur penelitian yang menghasilkan data deskriptif berupa kata-kata tertulis atau lisan dari orang-orang dan perilaku yang dapat diamati (Moelong, 2005: 4). Penelitian ini mengedepankan teori lensa atau teori perspektif (Sugiyono, 2012: 295). Metode ini digunakan, karena data yang dibutuhkan berupa sebaran informasi yang tidak perlu dikuantifikasikan. Jika mengacu pada judul penelitian yang dibahas, maka penelitian ini menggunakan studi kasus. Studi kasus adalah penelitian yang dilakukan secara intensif, terinci dan mendalam terhadap suatu organisasi, lembaga atau masyarakat mengenai gejala-gejala tertentu (Arikunto, 2002: 14). Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan datanya menggunakan metode studi literatur/dokumen. Data-data yang diperoleh selanjutnya diolah melalui reduksi dan menyajikan data dan selanjutnya menarik kesimpulan. Analisis data ini disebut sebagai mengolah dan menafsirkan data (Muhajir, 1996:104). Wilayah yang menjadi zona tambang batubara sebagaimana tercantum di dalam Rencana Pengembangan kawasan Peruntukkan Pertambangan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah Provinsi (RTRWP) Kalimantan Timur 2016-2036 masih ditemukan adanya tumpang tindih antara peruntukkan perkebunan dan pertambangan di hampir semua kabupaten/kota. Deforestasi tersebut berdampak kepada masyarakat lokal (masyarakat adat) sehingga masyarakat tidak bisa ikut serta dalam memberdayakan kawasan hutan dan juga menyebabkan terjadinya konflik horizontal maupun vertikal. Pemerintah Provinsi belum serius mengimplementasikan moratorium perizinan tambang yang seharusnya diterapkan dengan melihat daya dukung lingkungan. Untuk meminimalisir deforestasi ada baiknya konsisten dalam menerapkan kebijakan satu peta.Kata Kunci: Deforestasi, Batubara, Kalimantan Timur

BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) remains the most important investigative modality in the evaluation of individuals with epilepsy and other neurological disorders. The pattern of EEG done in a tertiary hospital at Abakaliki Nigeria is not known. It is against this background that we embarked on this retrospective observational study on the EEG pattern and patient characteristics in Neurophysiology laboratory at Abakaliki Nigeria.

METHOD: This is a retrospective observational hospital based study where the attendance register of the Neurophysiology laboratory was used to extract information on the demography, clinical characteristics and EEG reports of patients seen at the Laboratory from November 2018 to April 2021.

RESULTS: A total of 125 (Male- 69, Female- 56) persons did EEG over the study period, and 75.2% had epileptiform waves (generalized- 16.8%, focal- 57.6%). 

CONCLUSION: EEG services are been utilized at Abakaliki in evaluation of seizure disorder and other paroxysmal neurological events with more prevalent focal epileptiform waves.
REGULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CIVIL
TURNOVER IN THE ACT ON THE RESTITUTION
OF POLISH HERITAGE ASSETS AND THEIR
APPLICATION TO MUSEUMS’ OPERATION
Authors: Barbasiewicz Adam
Published: August 2021

It is the legal regulations related to civil
turnover specified in the Act of 25 May 2017 on the
Restitution of Polish Heritage Assets (consolidated text,
Journal of Laws 2019, Item 1591) in the context of the
activity of museums and other institutions running
a museum activity that is the topic of the paper. They
speak of legal activities including ownership transfer or
charge on Poland’s heritage assets pertaining to public
collections, or the ban on acquiring assets from a person
unauthorized to dispose of them or manage them by
prescription, as well as of the non-limitation of claims
for their release. The Author analyses the central concept of the quoted
Act: that of the national heritage assets of the Polish
Republic pertaining to public collections, while discussing
in detail both criteria that are related to it: subject- and
ownership-related ones. He points to the fact that the
definition of public collections it contains is extremely
broad, covering not only public collections in the colloquial
meaning of the term, but also the collections of the majority
of private museums, as well as non-museum collections of
private entities and persons, as long as they have applied
public financing.
In the further part of the paper, the civil-law regulations
specified in the Act are discussed, with special emphasis
on the requested form of the legal actions including the
transfer of ownership or burden (in writing with a certified
date) suggesting that this can apply also to deposit or lending
contracts. He also discusses the praxis and judicature
with respect to the in writing with a certified date pointing
to the possible lack of the awareness of the contract parties
that the object of the contract pertains to a public collection
in compliance with the provisions of the Act, and that the
special contract format should be kept. In this context the
Author presents some practical solutions allowing to avoid
certain negative consequences.
In the conclusion it is emphasized that the regulation contains
certain concepts which might inspire essential interpretative
doubts having impact on the application of the
discussed regulations.

Os resultados apontam que a qualidade da interação pode influenciar (direta ou indiretamente) a ocorrência de algumas causas gerais de abandono dos estudantes. É recomendada a execução de outros métodos de avaliação para análise mais profunda sob a perspectiva do estudante.
Wie lassen sich Standorte durch Clusterpolitik gestalten?
Authors: Beck Rasmus C.
Published: August 2021

The importance of cluster policy is still very high in Germany. Especially today, when the coronavirus pandemic is putting cities and regions under economic pressure, places are having to compete with others more than ever to achieve new growth. Using an ex-post perspective of the case studies Dortmund, Dresden and the Hanover region, this book systematically highlights the modes of operation, development corridors and potential of cluster policy over about two decades. From agenda setting to policy transformation, divergent and uniform patterns in the policy cycle become apparent. In addition to theoretical classifications, the book also provides practical findings for this young, fluid policy area.
Performance Drivers of Digital Ventures
Authors: Johnson Timo B.
Published: August 2021

Entrepreneurs and investors face crucial decisions to positively influence the financing and exit success of digital start-ups. This book analyses the most significant performance drivers of digital ventures. The author assesses, first, the early-stage financing method, second, the choice of business focus and, third, the motives for syndication. In three studies, he thereby identifies the performance impact of practitioners’ fundamental decisions on a broad empirical basis, thus integrating research from finance and entrepreneurship. He provides insights into the effects of experience and the added value of all common investor types, compares digital platforms to alternative technologies and examines the influence of investor syndicates.
The Other Sex Work
Authors: Winter Nora , Struve Morgaine
Published: August 2021

This work is a case study analysis of the contemporary feminist academic pornography discourse. Based on two academic articles, two competing discourses are identified and examined using constructivist grounded theory and discourse analysis. This clash of discourses is traced back firstly to changing social norms on sexuality: Older generations, who still inhabit most positions of power within academia, are largely still representing restrictive attitudes on what constitutes “acceptable” sexualities. Secondly, research conventions within the humanities and social sciences have changed to defy easy explanations. Pornography researchers are therefore forced to choose between conforming to prevalent sexuality norms or research conventions.
CRISPR
Authors: Becker-Ritterspach Luisa
Published: August 2021

The gene scissors CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized genetic engineering in many ways. The technology promises to precisely cut and change gene segments from humans, animals and plants. But how should we deal with a technology that could irreversible change the genetic make-up? A public debate is of utmost importance to answer what science is allowed to do. In the past, however, politicians have not sufficiently succeeded in assigning the necessary importance to the issue and in regulating the procedures accordingly. Why not? This question is pursued in this study. In addition, it is analyzed which institution would be suitable to discuss the topic broadly and to work out proposals for regulation.
Parmenides’s Love of Honor and Lessons about How (Not) to Do Philosophy from Plato’s Parmenides
Authors: Heckel Marta ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2021

In this paper, I show that the Parmenides provides important insight into how to properly engage in philosophical discussion—or, more accurately, how not to engage in it. From references to age, love-of-winning and love-of-honor, and a paral­lel to the Phaedo, I show that Parmenides is ruled by the spirited part of his soul in a way that compromises his ability to philosophize, and that the Parmenides is a warning about doing philosophy from a love of honor. Ideally, we should do philosophy from a love of wisdom. When we are honor-loving, we are not only motivated by the wrong kind of thing, but our love of honor can also blind us to the specific ways in which we might be falling short of ideal philosophical engagement, such as missing the potential dangers of engaging in philosophy with certain kinds of interlocutors.

Introduction Studies show a high prevalence of physical inactivity and sedentary behavior among university students. However, the relationship between physical activity and sedentary behavior in medical students is unknown. Objectives To determine the prevalence of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and related factors among medical students at a public university. Methods We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study that included students from the first to the sixth year of medical school. We used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). We analyzed study variables using Poisson regression, estimating crude and adjusted prevalence ratios. Results The final sample consisted of 513 students, of which 35% of women and 30.1% of all pre-clinical students had a low level of physical activity. Male sex and 20 to 24 age group were associated with a lower prevalence of low level of physical activity. Sedentary behavior was 60.9% among students under 20 years old and 55.5% among pre-clinical students. A lower prevalence of sedentary behavior was found in students over 25 years old, clinical students, and those with high levels of physical activity. Conclusion Most medical students presented a moderate level of physical activity. We found a higher presence of low-level physical activity among females and pre-clinical students. We found that sedentary behavior was higher than reported in similar populations. The relationship between physical activity and lower sedentary behavior was significant only for students with a high-level physical activity.

Objective To determine the main clinical and tomographic characteristics of patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease at Trujillo Regional Teaching Hospital. Methods Case series. Tomographic examinations and clinical data were obtained from patients with interstitial pulmonary disease who attended the pulmonology service of Trujillo Regional Teaching Hospital. The information collected was recorded and systematized in Excel. For the statistical analysis, SPSS 23.0 program was used. Results Data from 103 patients were obtained, of which 60.2% were female, and 39.8% were male. The average age was 72 years for both groups. Main clinical manifestations were cough (82.5%), dyspnea (76.7%), joint pain (43.7%), weight loss (40.8%), velcro crackles (35%) and digital clubbing (28.2%). Exposure to wood smoke was present in 46.6%, exposure to inorganic dust in 12.6% and fowl ownership in 9.7% of cases. Thirty-one (30.1%) patients presented comorbidities. Among these, rheumatic diseases and arterial hypertension were the most frequent. Non-specific interstitial pneumonia pattern was present in 26.2% of the cases; probable usual interstitial pneumonia in 16.5%; organized type in 12.6%; usual interstitial in 10.7%; acute interstitial in 2.9% and 27.1% had no defined tomographic pattern. Conclusions In the studied population, clinical and tomographic characteristics of interstitial lung parenchymal diseases are variable in magnitude and forms of presentation. Female sex and exposure to fuels were the most frequent associated factors. Connective tissue diseases could also explain study findings.
Data Curation through Catalogs: A Repository-Independent Model for Data Discovery
Authors: Sheridan Helenmary , Dellureficio Anthony J. , Ratajeski Melissa A. , Mannheimer Sara , Wheeler Terrie R.
Published: August 2021

Institutional data repositories are the acknowledged gold standard for data curation platforms in academic libraries. But not every institution can sustain a repository, and not every dataset can be archived due to legal, ethical, or authorial constraints. Data catalogs—metadata-only indices of research data that provide detailed access instructions and conditions for use—are one potential solution, and may be especially suitable for "challenging" datasets. This article presents the strengths of data catalogs for increasing the discoverability and accessibility of research data. The authors argue that data catalogs are a viable alternative or complement to data repositories, and provide examples from their institutions' experiences to show how their data catalogs address specific curatorial requirements. The article also reports on the development of a community of practice for data catalogs and data discovery initiatives.

Authors: Samuel Sara , Moore Michael , Sheridan Helenmary , Sorensen Chris , Patterson Brandon
Published: August 2021

This video article provides an introduction to a data primer which leads data curators through the process of preparing a neuroimaging dataset for submission into a repository. A team of health sciences librarians and informationists created the primer which is focused on data from functional magnetic resonance images that are saved in either DICOM or NIfTI formats. The video walks through a flowchart discussing the process of preparing data sets to be deposited into a repository, key curatorial questions to ask for data that is highly sensitive, and how to suggest edits to this and other primers. The primer grew out of a data curation workshop hosted by the Data Curation Network.

Digital agriculture as a basis of agriculture-based economy in the modern world
Authors: Chupina Irina Pavlovna , Simachkova Natal'ya Nikolaevna
Published: August 2021

Agriculture solves the general tasks of its functioning, which are more focused on the implementation of three areas of activity, which include guaranteed food security in terms of the production of high-quality agricultural products, raw materials and food produced by domestic agricultural producers in volumes corresponding to medical indicators. It is also a decrease in the volume of import substitution of seeds in crop production and breeding material in animal husbandry and poultry farming, as well as imported equipment for the organization of food and processing products, veterinary drugs and other important needs for the agro-industrial complex. And the third direction includes the sustainable development of exports of agricultural and agro-industrial products to the global agri-food market. These tasks cannot be successfully solved in the conditions of using the existing outdated agricultural technologies, machinery and equipment. In order to improve these functions of agriculture, the digital platform "Digital Agriculture" was developed, which is an information database of a fairly large size about the resources of the agro-industrial complex. Digitalization, creating conditions for the development of "smart agriculture", affects the progress in agricultural relations. With the help of new technologies, the work of farmers will gradually move from manual, which requires great physical effort, to automated. With the help of drones and other drones, it will be possible to determine the structure of soils for planting certain crops.
