Rumph to Donk: Pre‐Indonesian Mycology and Biography
Authors: Petersen Ronald H.
Published: July 2024

Marinus Anton Donk, born in pre‐Indonesia and resident during the last years of Dutch Colonial rule, fell heir to a history of mycological studies traceable to the 1600s. Rumphius, Juhnhuhn, Zollinger, von H??hnel, van Overeem, and Boedijn were some of his predecessors. He survived
cruel treatment while under Japanese incarceration during World War II, to become Head of the Herbarium in Bogor (formerly Buitenzorg), Java. Indonesia. In middle age, he moved to the Rijksherbarium in the Netherlands and further established his reputation in the taxonomy and nomenclature
of the Hymenomycetes, a large group of basidiomycetous fungi. He was lauded and feared by numerous mycologists before he died prematurely in 1972. Occasional contemporary (chiefly mycological) personalities are included here as well as personal Donk communications to others.

FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO PREDICT TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OVER TIME
Authors: Assaad Mahmoud C.
Published: July 2024

Rubber material used in consumer products is vulcanized to improve its strength, viscoelasticity, and long and short-term durability. During the cure process, the morphology of the material evolves to form a highly crosslinked chain network, leading to a product that is less porous and less susceptible to air diffusivity. However, the formulation of the rubber compounds always create micropores or voids within them. Several laboratory tests are used to measure the material’s ability to resist the flow of air through it and to assess its porosity, especially under pressure. Residual-based integrated surface flux calculations are used to determine the evolution of air pressure as a function of time in an enclosed volume such as the cavity of an inflated tire. A finite element formulation was established for complex applications such as tires to predict the intracarcass pressure distribution. The capability of this simulation methodology was demonstrated for a tire with different inner liner compositions.

Published: July 2024

This study assessed the physicochemical and heavy metal properties of soil and the risks associated with Zea mays contamination by heavy metals in farmed dump sites in Tubah Sub-division, Northwest Cameroon. Three surface soil samples (0-20 cm) and Zea mays plant samples were collected from Bambili (S1), Baforkum (S2) and Bambui (S3) and analyzed following standard analytical procedures. Results of physicochemical analysis showed that all the soils had low pH values (5.45-6.12), moderate organic matter content (3.93% - 7.14%), and high available phosphorus (9.51-52.58 mg/kg). Total heavy metal concentrations for all soil samples ranged from 4.66-5.23 mg/kg, 65.32-98.12 mg/kg, 1555.12-2158.65 mg/kg, 94.64-115.34mg/kg, 0.87-1.01 mg/kg, 96.54-156.3 mg/kg, and 289.43-450.48 mg/kg for Cd, Pb, Mn, Cu, Hg, Cr and Zn respectively. Total heavy metal concentrations in Zea mays plant ranged from 2.66-4.33 mg/kg, 21.32-28.21 mg/kg, 55.12-230.34 mg/kg, 8.64-34.23 mg/kg, 0.47-0.81 mg/kg, 53.43-76.3 mg/kg, and 89.43-108.48 mg/kg for Cd, Pb, Mn, Cu, Hg, Cr and Zn respectively. This study thus revealed that the soils and Zea mays plants were contaminated to varying degrees by the heavy metals Cd, Mn, Cu, Hg, Cr and Zn, and consequently, there are potential health hazards associated with the consumption of Zea mays cultivated on these soils. Physical remediation (capping, washing of soil, excavation of soil), chemical remediation (immobilization, solidification, vitrification), and phytoremediation can be employed to recover heavy metals from such soils, meanwhile, lime-induced immobilization of heavy metals could assist to keep the metals in the soil in an insoluble state.

Authors: U. V. Esara, , M. E. Asuquo, , A. J. Udoh,
Published: July 2024

Gambling is a trending problem among the youths that usually result in suicide attempts and self-harm among gamblers. Gambling also prompts our youths to engage in theft and other deviance behavior. This study was conducted to investigate why gamblers are prone to suicide and other deviant behaviour. Survey research method was adopted for this study and respondents were selected using multiple sampling techniques; this include purposive, snowball and simple random sampling techniques. Primary data were collected through interview and participant observation, while secondary data were collected from extant literature. The study applied Frustration-Aggression Theory in order to explain the relationship between gambling, suicide and deviant behaviour among gamblers. The concept and empirical studies reviewed from other research works were used for inference, conclusion and recommendations. Findings from the study show that gambling related debts contributes to suicide and suicidality. The study further showed that gambling is seen as a coping mechanism to get rich very quickly. The study recommends (amongst others) that the government should ban all gambling/betting companies in Nigeria in order to reduce suicidality and criminality among gamblers. Government should subject all addicted gamblers to psychological tests to ensure that they are free from deviant behavior.

Published: July 2024

Artificial intelligence and deep learning models are utilised in health, IT, animal and plant research, and more. Maize, one of the most widely eaten crops globally, is susceptible to a wide variety of disease that impede its development and reduce its output. The objective of this research work is to develop a deep learning-based model for detection of illnesses affecting maize leaves. Furthermore, the model that has been constructed not only forecasts illness but also furnishes illustrative visuals of leaf diseases, so facilitating the identification of disease types. To do this, a dataset including specified illnesses, including blight, common rust, gray leaf spot, and a healthy leaf, was obtained from Kaggle, a secondary source (Pant village). For data analysis, the cross-platform Anaconda Navigator was used, while the programming languages Python and Jupiter Notebook were implemented. The acquired data was used for both training and evaluating the models. The study presents a novel approach to plant disease detection using the YOLO deep learning model, implemented in Python and associated libraries. The Yolov8 algorithm was employed to develop a maize leaf detection system, which outperformed algorithms such as CNN (84%), KNN (81%), Random Forest (85%), and SVM (82%), achieving an impressive accuracy of 99.8%. Limitations of the study include the focus on only three maize leaf diseases and the reliance on single-leaf images for detection. Future research should address environmental elements like temperature and humidity, include numerous leaves in a frame for disease identification, and create disease stage detection methods.

Authors: C. S. Okafor, , N. A. Udobi,
Published: July 2024

Land tenure systems are important aspect of any society and the very soul through which societies and countries advance in civilization as they define the manner in which land is held and managed in a society. Even though traditional land tenure systems and customary land tenure systems existed before now, the promulgation of the Land Use Act introduced a new system of land ownership which repealed every other existing laws and introduced uniformity in the land ownership systems as practicable across the country. This paper examines the traditional land tenure systems applicable in Igbakwu community, Ayamelum Local Government Area, of Anambra State together with the practicable general land tenure systems of the South East Zone, Nigeria while comparing it with the Land Use Act, 1978. The major aim of the paper is to analyse the difference between traditional land tenure system and the Land Use Act, No 6 of 1978 while enumerating the salient points obtainable in both systems. Members of clans and villages were interviewed while secondary data was obtained from textbooks and journals. Recommendation includes revision of the existing laws through consultations with professionals to reach a consensus and prevent the law from veering off its original objectives. The study however highlights the need for a more probable tenure system to tackle land distribution due to increase in population.

Published: July 2024

Psycholinguistik ist ein ziemlich junger Teilbereich der Sprachwissenschaft. Die
Sprachwissenschaft ist eine umfangreiche Wissenschaft, die menschliche
Sprachfähigkeiten studiert. Das Ziel der Psycholinguistik ist die Erforschung des
Prozesses, der „menschlicher Spracherwerb” heißt. Abgesehen davon studiert sie die
Bedingungen für das Produzieren und Verstehen von Sprache sowie der Repräsentation
von Sprache im Gehirn. Das Fachgebiet ist eng mit anderen wissenschaftlichen
Disziplinen wie Sprachpsychologie, Neurolinguistik und Kognitionswissenschaft
verbunden. Um diese Arbeit schreiben zu können, habe ich mich verschiedener Methoden
bedient. Diese Methoden basieren sich auf den Ideen, die die Psycholinguistik in sich
beinhaltet. Da die Hauptidee der Psycholinguistik ein linguistisches Experiment ist, habe
ich versucht, dieses Experiment durchzuführen. Als Mittel habe ich verschiedene
Übungen genommen und ich habe versucht, sie zu verbessern, um den Lernprozess zu
vereinfachen und ihn interessanter zu machen. Ich habe diese Methoden so konzipiert,
dass sie den Prozess des Spracherwerbs bei den Lernenden imitieren. Das bedeutet, dass
die Studenten sich in die Sprachumgebung vertiefen sollen und die Bedeutung aller
Wörter selbst aus dem Kontext extrahieren sollen

The Importance of Narrative Texts in Teaching and Learning Activities in Primary School
Authors: GRECU Marius
Published: July 2024

Narrative texts play a very important role in the instructional activities of primary
school classrooms as they significantly contribute to the development of
communication skills, thinking, and creativity of young students. These texts must be
carefully selected, taking into account both aesthetic and ethical elements, as well as
those related to stimulating and developing students' language and communication
abilities. The criterion of accessibility must be fulfilled by choosing appropriate
works based on the students' age categories. In the first and second grades, epic
works should not be too lengthy, with a cohesive plot, and often featuring fictional
characters to engage children. By the third and fourth grades, works become longer,
with more characters and more developed plots, and students begin to study dense,
concentrated epic creations such as novellas and novels. Thus, through the use of epic
texts, students learn to analyze deeply what they read, identify subtle details from
the content, form various opinions about events, and express their opinions about
characters in a correct and coherent manner.

Authors: IGESCU Denisa
Published: July 2024

This paper proposes a detailed analysis of the translation process of Disney movies´
lyrics, focusing on the concept of lexical equivalence and ways of correspondence
between English and Romanian. Three Disney musical films – „Frozen” (2013), „The
Lion King” (1994 and 2019), and „Moana” (2016) – are selected to illustrate various
lexical contexts, highlighting the ways in which words and phrases are translated
and adapted to preserve the melodicity of the lyrics. The analysis also focuses on
translation errors, explaining the reasons for them and offering suggestions for
replacing those lyrics. In the context of translation theory, it is emphasized that the
process of transfer from source to target language involves creating an equivalence
that preserves the specific features of the original text. Through the Disney films, the
text explores the phenomenon of equivalence in lexical correspondence, which is
partial in most cases. It also discusses the particularities of verse translation,
focusing on the restrictions and challenges faced by the translator, such as adjusting
the number of syllables to match the musical notes. Aspects such as repetition of
words and phrases, placement of punctuation marks and rhythmic characteristics of
the vocal line are also considered in the translation process. In addition to linguistic
issues, this analysis explores the influence of Disney films on culture and language in
childhood, highlighting the importance of adapting texts written for children to
moral rules and age appropriateness. By addressing these issues, the paper provides
a significant insight into understanding the complexity of the translation process
and how it influences the reception of cultural elements between different languages.

introduction presents some factors, like age, psychological and environmental
components, which interact in the process of successful language acquisition. The
second part discusses motivation which has a pivotal role in the process of language
acquisition while in the next part some difficulties Romanian adult learners face
when learning English are presented. The paper ends with conclusions, emphasizing
that the process of second language acquisition is not at all a simple one, it is a
bouquet of factors which influences the final result.
Queen Elizabeth II and Paddington Bear: Some Features of a Popularity-Maintaining Discourse
Authors: POPA Alina-Roxana
Published: July 2024

The paper analyses a short two-and-a-half-minute sketch, a video presented to the
U.K. public on the occasion of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.
The BAFTA-winning video features Queen Elizabeth II receiving Paddington Bear, the
fictional character in children’s literature, for tea at the Palace at the time of the
Jubilee party. For most people, this was one of the last images of the Queen making a
public appearance before her subsequent death in September that year. Her
association with the endeared character proved to be exceptionally strong in the
public conscience as representative for values that she wished to embody: politeness,
kindness and tolerance, as the nation’s „grandmother” reassures, through her
presence, that her people has been properly inspired and imprinted by such qualities.
The article focuses on linguistic, mainly pragmatic features of the characters’
interaction, trying to determine how the monarch’s Image could be projected as a
discourse construct.
Importanța verbelor performative în discursul instituțional
Authors: STAMATESCU Claudia-Raluca
Published: July 2024

In language teaching, the treatment of errors states a thoughtful fact, which must be
implemented, being a fundamental point of the didactic approach, not an objective
in its own right. In reality, no one can learn a language or produce speeches without
making mistakes. Once taken into account, how then could the teacher treat these
errors? Isn’t there a perfect opportunity to discover the learning approaches and
differentiating methods? How should the student understand where and why he is
making a mistake? And to what extent does this allow him to identify his own
functioning? Instead of the teacher just crossing out students’ mistakes with red, he
must try to analyze their values, and determine their origins. But the consideration
obviously does not stop there. Students must then become aware of their mistakes.
How they committed them, and how they perceive them in their self-correction
efforts. To facilitate this awareness among learners, the teacher must then set up
situations creating socio-cognitive conflicts, by working on metacognition

ARRN: Leveraging Demographic Context for Improved Semantic Personalization in Hybrid Recommendation Systems
Authors: Harshali Bhuwad
Published: July 2024

This paper proposes a novel recommendation system model, the Attentive Recurrent Recommender Network (ARRN), that addresses the challenge of incorporating demographic information into recommendations. ARRN leverages user-item interaction data along with age information from the data set to deliver personalized recommendations specifically tailored to different age groups. The approach utilizes embedding techniques and semantic analysis to capture user preferences and behaviors associated with their age. An attention mechanism prioritizes relevant features based on user age groups, enabling ARRN to dynamically adapt recommendations for users with limited interaction history. The paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of ARRN’s performance compared to existing state-of-the-art recommendation algorithms. The results demonstrate that ARRN outperforms existing approaches, particularly for users with limited interaction history, by effectively mitigating the cold-start problem in age-sensitive product domains.

THE ROLE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIONS IN REGENERATIVE MEDICINE.
Authors: Issa Akanji ADEDOKUN  , Temidayo Peter AKEREDOLU  , Olowo-Niyi ADEBOLA
Published: July 2024

Regenerative medicine marks a paradigm shift in healthcare, transitioning from symptom-based treatment to leveraging the body's inherent healing mechanisms. It represents a convergence of nature and science, fostering innovative solutions for preserving life. Intellectual Property (IP) safeguards the expression of innovation and creativity across various domains, encompassing regenerative medicine. However, questions arise regarding its ability to meet patentability criteria and the ethical implications of granting exclusive ownership (Intellectual Property) to life-saving techniques, potentially hindering adequate Intellectual Property protection. Using the doctrinal research method, this article explores the breadth of regenerative medicine and the applicability of Intellectual Property protection to cutting-edge medical interventions, including regenerative medicine, aiming to strike a balance between comprehensive protection, commercialization, and public access. The paper draws valuable lessons from best practices and jurisdictions such as the United States of America and South Africa to promote innovation and foster access to regenerative medicine in Nigeria. It finds that one of the foremost challenges of the protection of regenerative medicine by Intellectual Property is the ethical concerns regarding the use of human cells, tissues and embryonic stem cells. It also notes some weaknesses in Nigeria's current regulatory framework and calls for stronger enforcement of ethical standards. It recommends among others the need for more awareness in the area where intellectual property and regenerative medicine connect. The work equally advocates for the need to update the Patent and Designs Act (PDA) of 1970 to allow for the registration of cutting-edge technologies including regenerative medicine.

Authors: Olubiyi Ifeoluwa A. , Irumekhai Oshobugie Suleiman
Published: July 2024

The role of intellectual property (IP) law in incentivising innovation through the protection of the creations and inventions of the human intellect cannot be overemphasized.  Artificial intelligence (AI), as an emerging technology, has had a significant impact on practically all sectors of society, including the field of intellectual property law. Its impact is felt in various fields of intellectual property law, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, designs, and image rights, among others. AI is increasingly testing the limits and provisions of national and international intellectual property laws. In recent times, the IP laws on authorship, creation, and inventorship, in particular, have been re-examined in the light of AI-generated works and the question of whether AI (a non-human entity) can be recognized as such for its creations, which are potentially protectable by IP Laws.  This paper will examine the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and intellectual property rights. It examines whether AI authorship or inventorship can be supported by the theoretical justifications of intellectual property protection. Can these justifications be used to advance the legal recognition and protection of AI as an inventor, author or otherwise?

El artículo se centra en tres ejes principales; el primero consiste en hacer una caracterización de los corregimientos San Cristóbal y San Sebastián de Palmitas; allí se pueden ver aspectos relevantes como ubicación, historia, veredas y economía; el segundo, en definir el rol del campesinado periurbano y sus dinámicas, y el tercero, entender la innovación tecnológica agropecuaria. La metodología utilizada sigue tres simples pasos: selección de los corregimientos, construcción de una matriz comparativa y, finalmente, la construcción de este documente en contraste con otras fuentes de información. Este artículo de reflexión es fruto de un naciente proyecto de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios (UNIMINUTO), sede Itagüí, en el cual se trata de resaltar el papel del campesinado en las áreas periurbanas de la ciudad y su esfuerzo por destacarse o subsistir en el mercado.

A liderança colaborativa é competência fundamental para o envolvimento dos membros de uma equipe durante discussões e execução das atividades, de modo a valorizar as sugestões e propostas, respeitar os pontos de vista e promover autonomia. A revisão integrativa teve como objetivo identificar e reunir as evidências disponíveis sobre a liderança colaborativa em contextos do trabalho em equipe e suas contribuições para a atenção primária à saúde. A bases eletrônicas MEDLINE-PUBMED, ERIC, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE e LILACS foram utilizadas para as buscas no período de 2017-2022, nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol. Identificou-se 3.601 artigos que foram exportados para o software Rayyan® e avaliados por dois avaliadores independentes em duplo cego. O protocolo PRISMA foi utilizado. Foram incluídos 23 estudos que apontam o aumento do interesse por lideranças mais compartilhadas, distribuídas e que valorizam o potencial das equipes. Estas lideranças devem estimular o desenvolvimento de líderes colaborativos, capazes de atingir metas de maneira conjunta. Conclui-se que é essencial aprofundar os estudos e a formação sobre a liderança, ancorados na colaboração e na interprofissionalidade, de modo a romper com os modelos hierárquicos e autoritários.

Christian Goldbach foi um matemático russo que viveu no século XVIII. Muito embora visse a Matemática mais como um hobby, publicou vários trabalhos em Teoria dos Números. É em uma de suas correspondências com Euler que surge a sua conjectura, a qual afirma que todo número par maior que 2 pode ser expresso como a soma de dois números primos (iguais ou não). Apesar de possuir um enunciado muito simples, a sua demonstração requer conhecimentos matemáticos avançados, tanto que até hoje continua sem uma prova definitiva. Obviamente, vários matemáticos dedicaram muitos anos de suas vidas ao estudo da conjectura de Goldbach. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa é elencar os avanços alcançados por tais matemáticos ao longo do tempo. Além disso, buscaremos entender melhor o contexto histórico em que se dá o surgimento da conjectura. Ao final, tentaremos destacar os resultados mais significativos e que em um primeiro instante podem ser a base para pesquisas posteriores.

This study examines fava bean production in the Curimataú Oriental Microregion (PB) from 2012 to 2022, highlighting its socio-economic importance and sustainability challenges. The objective is to evaluate the development of the crop, identify obstacles, and propose solutions to enhance production. The methodology included analyzing IBGE data on planted area, harvested area, production quantity, and average yield. The results show an increase in planted area from 266 hectares in 2012 to 635 hectares in 2022. The harvested area varied from 124 hectares in 2012 to 635 hectares in 2022. The production quantity increased from 21 tons in 2012 to 213 tons in 2022. The average yield varied from 169 kg/ha- in 2012 to 335 kg/ha- in 2022. However, challenges such as water scarcity, pests, diseases, lack of technical assistance, and poor infrastructure impact sustainability. The climatic variability of the semi-arid region necessitates efficient agricultural practices, such as drip irrigation and integrated pest and disease management. In summary, fava bean production in the study microregion has great potential to contribute to socio-economic development and food security. To ensure long-term sustainability and competitiveness, efficient agricultural practices, investments in research and development, and infrastructure improvements are necessary. Collaboration among farmers, researchers, public and private institutions is essential to overcome challenges and seize opportunities, building a resilient and sustainable fava bean production chain.
As diferenças sociodemográficas do apoio social em jovens trabalhadores universitários
Authors: Balle Andrea Raymundo , Oliveira Valéria Soares de
Published: July 2024

Os jovens trabalhadores têm despertado grande interesse mundial devido à sua crescente participação no mercado de trabalho e à influência que exercem na situação socioeconômica dos países onde estão inseridos. Estes jovens muitas vezes desempenham um papel duplo, atuando não apenas como trabalhadores, mas também como estudantes universitários. Nesse contexto, o apoio social no ambiente de trabalho torna-se um fator crucial, referindo-se às relações de assistência e suporte que os indivíduos recebem em seu ambiente laboral. Dado que as juventudes não são homogêneas, este estudo investiga as variações no apoio social percebido entre jovens trabalhadores universitários, levando em conta diferentes características sociodemográficas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa (survey) e os dados foram analisados utilizando a técnica de diferença de médias. Os resultados indicam que existem diferenças significativas no apoio social percebido entre os grupos quando segmentados por curso, gênero, função e intenção de demissão. Em contrapartida, não foram observadas diferenças no apoio social quando os grupos foram separados por salário, idade e tempo de empresa. Esses achados destacam a importância de considerar a diversidade entre os jovens trabalhadores ao avaliar o apoio social no trabalho, e sugerem que políticas e práticas de suporte devem ser adaptadas para atender às necessidades específicas de diferentes subgrupos dentro dessa população.

This study aims to evaluate the nutritional and sensory properties of cookies produced from flour blends of African walnut (Tetracarpidium conophorum), Justicia carnea and wheat. Walnut flour was used to substitute wheat flour while the Justicia carnea flour was used at a constant percentage as an enrichment in the ratio of (A) 100:00:0 (B) 88:10:2 (C) 78:20:2 (D) 68:30:2 of Wheat, walnut and Justicia carnea. Proximate composition of the cookies ranged between 0.65 – 1.45% for moisture, 2.15-2.80% for ash, 22.44 – 29.07% for fat, 9.19 – 11.25% for protein, 4.88 – 7.66% for crude fiber and 50.37 - 59.98% for carbohydrate. Moisture content decreased significantly (P 0.05) as walnut substitution increased while fat, protein, crude fiber and ash content increased as walnut substitution increased. The functional properties showed that water and oil absorption capacities ranged between 0.56 – 1.19 ml/g and 0.59 – 1.27ml/g respectively. Bulk density from 0.68 – 0.79ml/g, solubility and swelling power from 14.95 – 17.89% and 6.53 – 7.57g/g respectively. Mineral composition for Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and Phosphorus ranged between 465.16 – 507.29 mg/100g, 176.36 – 436.36mg/100g, 16.60 – 89.86mg/100, 23.69 – 60.80mg/100g and 9.40 – 11.40mg/100g respectively. Sodium, Potassium, magnesium and Phosphorus contents increased significantly (P<0.05) while Calcium decreased with increase in walnut flour substitution. The physical properties ranged between 0.50 – 0.60cm, 5.45 – 5.50cm and 9.16 -10.80cm for height, diameter and spread ratio respectively. Only sample D showed significant increase (P<0.05) in spread ratio. Sensory scores showed crumb colour, crust thickness, crumb homogeneity, crumb moisture, crumb cohesiveness, fresh cookies odour, crumb consistency and overall acceptability reduced with increase in walnut flour. The study revealed that nutritious and acceptable cookies could be produced from addition of African walnut and Justicia carnea flour blend.
