Authors: Okediji Solomon Adebayo , Olorunleke Olufunmilayo Patience , Adedigba Funmilayo Adebisi
Published: April 2024

Culture is probably one of the most important social factors in human existence and it has its roots in the history of a people and defines the identity of the group. It is said to be the complex whole of man’s acquisition of knowledge, morals, beliefs, arts, customs and technology, which are shared and transmitted from generation to generation. This paper delves into the interaction between the cultures of Biblical Jews and Yoruba of Africa. It further explores the possibility of historical contact between the two societies which engendered the pronounced interconnectivity and convergence of culture. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach incorporating historical, anthropological and socio-cultural methodologies to objectively reconstruct the relevant events of the past through analysis, synthesis and verification. This among other things should enhance peaceful co-existence and socio-economic development between the two societies. The paper discovers that cultural interaction and interconnectivity as we have it between the two societies and this should serve as a catalyst for peaceful co-existence which in turn encourages bilateral developmental activities. It recommended that the two societies under study should discard cultural practices that are harmful to humanity, especially that constraint development. On the other hand, cultural practices which engender development and peaceful co-existence are promoted.

Published: April 2024

This study explores the impact of gully erosion on soil fertility in Ankpa Local Government Area, Kogi State, Nigeria. A systematic sampling procedure was employed, involving composite soil samples collected at varying depths (0 – 15 cm, 15 – 30 cm, and 30 – 45 cm). Physical and chemical analyses were conducted on these samples, and statistical analysis, utilizing the coefficient of variation (CV), was applied to the data. Results revealed that sand fractions dominated the surface horizons in all pedons studied, ranging from 74.10% to 80.60%. Silt content showed irregular accumulation down the profile depth, ranging from 5.00% to 6.00%. Clay content, ranging from 14.40% to 20.40%, decreased down the profile depth, indicating potential illuviation and pedoturbation processes. Bulk density values within the rooting zone were optimal for plant production. Particle size distribution suggested that the studied soils fell within the sandy loam textural class, except for one profile identified as sandy clay loam. Soil pH (H2O) and pH (KCl) indicated highly acidic conditions. Organic carbon content was critically low, and total nitrogen levels were also critically low according to fertility ratings. Available phosphorus ranged from low to moderate levels, while calcium dominated the exchange complexes. Magnesium levels were high, potentially contributing to unstable soil structural arrangements. Potassium content was categorized as moderate, while sodium content was rated moderate with implications for soil fertility. Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) was moderate, reflecting the general low organic matter content in the soil series. Base saturation indicated high values, suggesting minimal leaching of plant nutrients. In conclusion, the study identifies the complex interplay of soil properties affected by gully erosion, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to improve soil fertility.

Authors: Garrote Fernández-Díez Ignacio
Published: April 2024

El artículo 1 bis del RD-ley 11/2020, en la redacción otorgada por el RD-ley 37/2020, introdujo en nuestro Ordenamiento la posibilidad de que el Juez suspenda temporalmente los juicios sumarios del art. 250.1 de la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil que pueden desembocar en el lanzamiento de los ocupantes de una finca que no tengan un título hábil para poseerla cuando dichos ocupantes tienen una especial situación de vulnerabilidad y no cuentan con otra alternativa para su alojamiento. Dicho régimen fue objeto de una ulterior modificación, introducida por el RD-ley 1/2021, que plantea como gran novedad la posibilidad de instar también la suspensión del procedimiento en el caso de la «ocupación» de viviendas que se produce sin mediar violencia o intimidación a las personas (fenómeno que la jurisprudencia penal denomina como «ocupación pacífica de inmuebles»). Se trata de una regulación que plantea numerosas cuestiones, tanto desde el punto de vista de legalidad ordinaria como desde el punto de vista constitucional, que son objeto de consideración en el presente trabajo.

A golpe de Decreto-ley (Editorial)
Authors: Bercovitz Rodrigez-Cano Rodrigo
Published: April 2024

El número de Decretos-leyes aprobados desde 2017 acredita un crecimiento de estas disposiciones legislativas que cabría calificar como desbocado, en comparación con las leyes aprobadas por las Cortes Generales. Resulta de ello que lo previsto por la Constitución como extraordinario en caso de urgente necesidad, en la interpretación que ha fijado con su doctrina el Tribunal Constitucional, ha pasado a ser ordinario, sobre todo en el recurso indebido al decreto-ley en la transposición, tardía, de Directivas de la Unión Europea a nuestro ordenamiento. De la censurable tendencia expansiva del Poder ejecutivo tenemos un reciente ejemplo en la STC 110/2021, que declara inconstitucional, con argumentos concluyentes, la disposición final segunda del RDley 8/2020, de 17 de marzo (composición de la Comisión Delegada del Gobierno para Asuntos de Inteligencia).

Among various photoinduced hydrogen gas production techniques, photochemical catalytic water splitting is promising and an ideal future energy source because of the low cost, stability, and high sustainability of the reaction system features. Aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3NPs) as a photocatalyst for the splitting of water into hydrogen gas using solar energy is one of the noble missions of material science. In this work, pure aluminum oxide and L-methionine-capped aluminum oxide NPs have been synthesized using the sol-gel method. The pure Al2O3 and capped Al2O3 NPs with L- methionine were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), high- resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Zeta potential. It was found that the average particle sizes of Al2O3 NPs and capped Al2O3 NPs with L-methionine were 13 and 20 nm, respectively. L-methionine-capped Al2O3 NPs had a higher negative charge with a potential of - 24.5 mV. The capping agent slightly improved the production of hydrogen from 44 to 60 ml at 75° C after 30 min under illumination.
Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Echinoderms in the Intertidal Waters of Massawa
Authors: Prabhu H V
Published: April 2024

In this paper distribution patterns of echinoderms, sediment textural analysis and physical parameters were dealt in three study sites, Gurgussum, Hirgigo and Tiwalet at the lower intertidal and upper subtidal waters for three months (February, March and April, 2012). Echinoderms distribution and abundance (no/m2) varies from site to site during sampling periods. The three sites also differ in species composition. The highest total density of Oreasteridae (4/m2) was recorded in Tiwalet and it was nil for the same group in Gurgussum and Hirgigo. The most common groups that were seen in Gurgussum are Ophicomidae (107/m2) and Echinomertridae (87/m2) and completely absent in Hirgigo and Tiwalet. The highest in diversity of echinoderms was Tiwalet consisting of four families (i.e. Oreasteridae, Ophiuroidae, Scutellidae and Holothuriidae). However, Hirgigo was completely devoid of any of these groups. Both water temperature and salinity were recorded in all three sites for the three months. It was observed that there was negligible temporal and spatial variation with respect to the two physical parameters. Textural analysis of sediment (sand, silt and clay) showed that sand was dominant fraction in Hirgigo than Tiwalet, while silt is comparatively more in Tiwalet than in Hirgigo. The clay fraction was distributed uniformly in very low percentage in both the sites. But, the site Gurgussum is entirely a hard substratum. In general, echinoderms showed negative correlation with sand and silt whereas positive correlation with clay

Advances in technology has made it possible to collect data about individuals and connections between them, such as Email correspondence and friendship. Researchers that have collected such social network data often have a compelling interest in allowing others to analyze the data. However sharing such kind of private information to the public will result in unacceptable disclosure. In this paper we present a framework of, how to provide privacy to individuals in a social network against the adversary from frequent shared patterns. We propose Degree Smoothing method by applying Anonymization and Isomorphism techniques. By taking real world examples we prove that, we can reduce the threat of frequent shared patterns in a social network

Design of a faster 8T SRAM memory cell
Authors: Prasad S.K.V.
Published: April 2024

This paper discusses the design of read/write assist circuits which are used in a SRAM cell’s design to overcome the cell’s variations. It also explains the variability problems in a SRAM bit-cell and many approaches to address them. The basic operations, SNM concept, and write margin of an SRAM are described theoretically as well as measured in simulation. The write assisted circuit, the Negative Bit-line Voltage Bias scheme, is discussed and implemented at transistor level using a six-transistor (6T) SRAM cell. With the write assisted circuit, the implemented memory array successfully performs a write operation, the condition in which the same operation would fail without the write assisted circuit. During the simulation, this write assisted circuit helps to achieve the negative bias voltage of -70mV on the SRAM’s bit- lines. The cost overhead includes chip area, power consumption and chip area
A Novel Method for the Assay of Metoprolol by Visible Spectrophotometry using Cobalt Thiocyanate
Authors: Mallikarjuna Sarma V
Published: April 2024

Metoprolol tartrate (MPT) is a selective β1 receptor blocker drug mostly administered in cardiovascular diseases. Due to the highly probable over dosage, a rapid and easy to perform method for the quantitative determination of MPT in biological matrices would be useful in its therapeutic monitoring as well as in intoxication cases. The study presents a validated method for the U.V.-VIS quantitative assay of MPT in bulk and tablet formulations at λmax of 625 n.m. with molar absorptivity of 1.705 × 103 L. mole-1 cm-1 . The parameters targeted for the validation were: linearity, sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The presence of secondary amine group in MPT molecule is the basis for the proposed visible spectrophotometric method. Cobalt Thiocyanate (CTC) has been proved to be a valuable chromogenic reagent for the detection and determination of amino compounds. The coloured species formed is the coordination complex of the drug and the central metal atom of CTC, which is extractable into nitrobenzene from aqueous solution. Formation of blue coloured complex when MPT is treated with CTC due to the presence of secondary amine group in it is the basis in the present investigation. The developed method is more selective, sensitive, reproducible, rapid, cheap and simple than in most of the analogous methods. For these reasons, it can be used in routine analysis and can be applied for the determination of MPT in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples
Effect of Hydroxyapatite on Structure, Morphology and Tensile Properties of Polyethylene/Starch Blend
Authors: Asimeng B O
Published: April 2024

Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/starch blends filled with hydroxyapatite were synthesized by injection moulding to study the effect of hydroxyapatite (HAp) on surface modification of polyethylene/starch blend and its influence on tensile properties. Hydroxyapatite contents were varied from 1.0% to 3.0% in intervals of 0.5% by parts and the blends were characterised. Seven different samples were formed for the study and each sample was tested in five replicates for the tensile modulus, strength and elongation to failure. Two of the samples, one composed of only LLDPE and the other of 60% LLDPE, 40% starch, and 0% hydroxyapatite, were used as controls. The 2Theta peak transpositions of the XRD patterns, crystallinity and microstructure of the blends have been noticed to affect the tensile strength, modulus, and elongation to failure. The incorporation of HAp content into LLDPE/starch returned an increase in strength from 11.05±0.3 to 11.98±0.2 (p = 0.0008). Modulus increased up to 2.0% by parts of HAp and declined. Conversely, elongation to failure declined up to 2.0% by parts of HAp and then increased (p = 0.0007). HAp influence on the blend has been explained as HAp having affected the intermediate phase of the blend through hydrogen bonding. Amount of HAp introduced into the blend affects the structure, morphology and tensile properties of the blends. Further study is needed to determine the degradation characteristics of the blends.

Published: April 2024

Aims & Objective:  Wearing high heels regularly can lead to biomechanical issues, including tight calf muscles and shorter gastrocnemius muscle fascicles, which compromise musculoskeletal health, affect gait and balance, and heighten the risk of falls. This study compares the effects of two interventions, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Dynamic Cupping Therapy (DCT), on flexibility, balance, and pain reduction in women who regularly wear high heels. Methods: Thirty female participants regularly wearing high heels were randomly assigned to either IASTM or DCT interventions. Outcomes were assessed using measures of flexibility (knee to wall test), balance (App-Coo test), and pain thresholds (algometer). Results: Both IASTM and DCT groups exhibited significant increases in flexion, with IASTM showing a larger mean difference (-3.80, p < 0.01) compared to DCT (-2.73, p < 0.01). Balance with open and closed eyes significantly improved in both groups, with IASTM displaying larger mean differences (0.63, p < 0.01, and 0.57, p = 0.001, respectively) compared to DCT (0.46, p < 0.01, and 0.40, p < 0.01, respectively). Regarding pain reduction, both interventions were effective, but IASTM had a larger mean difference (1.28, p < 0.01) compared to DCT (0.87, p < 0.01).  Conclusion: Both IASTM and DCT interventions effectively improved flexibility, balance, and reduced pain in women wearing high heels.

Published: April 2024

Aims & Objective: The current research on physical therapists' understanding of managing modifiable risk factors for stroke in Saudi Arabia is limited. This study aims to evaluate physical therapists' knowledge in Saudi Arabia on managing modifiable stroke risk factors and their prioritization of stroke prevention. It also seeks to understand the connection between therapists' awareness, experience, perceptions, and information access with their readiness to apply stroke prevention measures. Methodology: A cross-sectional online questionnaire survey was administered to registered Physical therapists in the Riyadh region between February and July of 2022. An online questionnaire was developed with 18 questions to evaluate the knowledge and perception of the Physical therapist about the risk factors and management of stroke. Socio-demographic information, participant's knowledge and perception of stroke risk factors, and participant's stroke risk factor sources of information. Results: The results of this survey suggest that while most physical therapists in Saudi Arabia have a good understanding of stroke risk factors, there are still some knowledge gaps that need to be addressed. The fact that a significant percentage of respondents were unsure about the relationship between some risk factors and stroke highlights the need for ongoing education and training for physical therapists in this area.  Conclusions: The findings underscore the importance of education, training, work experience, and sources of knowledge in shaping physical therapists' beliefs and practice behaviors.

Aims & Objective: Lower back pain is a prevalent health issue that affects individuals worldwide, including women. In Saudi Arabia, women face unique challenges and factors that contribute to the development and experience of lower back pain. Understanding the specific context of lower back pain among women in Saudi Arabia is essential for effective prevention, management, and healthcare interventions. Methodology: The descriptive analytical method was relied upon to complete this study, where the research sample consisted of 82 women from the Jazan University community who were chosen randomly. The average age of participants with low back pain was 27.5 years, ranging from 18-35 years. Women with pain had a higher mean weight (56 kg) and body mass index (mean 23.04 kg/m) than the total sample. Result: Results showed that there is a relationship between the severity of pain and the type of profession in the samples, as it was found that the category that suffers from the severity of pain greater than average is the category of teachers and students compared to other professions. The results also showed that there was no correlation between the severity of pain and the number of children for the women in the study sample (P value = 0.153>0.05). The nonsignificant p value (0.153) indicates that there is no clear association in this sample. Conclusion: Our study sheds light on the complex interplay of factors influencing lower back pain (LBP) among women, revealing no significant correlation between LBP severity and both age and BMI, and similarly with the number of children.

Published: April 2024

Trauma care represents a complex interaction between humans and technology. Historically advancement in trauma care is linked to advancement in technology: it may be improvements in communication, transportation, imaging, etc. On the other hand, advancement in technologies leads to new challenges in trauma care. Using computers in health care is not a new phenomenon. Whatever the advancement in information and communication technology, one of the first applications of technology is in the field of health care. The fourth industrial revolution is changing the lives of people as never before. The Metaverse comprises of technologies of industry 4.0 such as artificial intelligence (AI), AR, VR, telepresence, digital twinning, and block chain, etc.  According to broader definitions, the metaverse represents a futuristic virtual world in 3D. Virtual reality is a network of interconnected virtual worlds that can be managed independently. Metaverses, therefore, consist of a multitude of digital universes rather than a single virtual world (1). The science-fiction author Neal Stephenson coined the term metaverse in his novel Snow Crash (1992), in which characters enjoy themselves as digital avatars in the “Metaverse” as an escape from the grim realities of the real world.

Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is a single phase Fe- based multiferroic having Perovskite structure. It shows both ferroelectric and ferromagnetism simultaneously in the single material. But the magnetic order is very low due to complex antiferromagnetic order yielding small remnant magnetization. However, Magnetic property could be improved if BiFeO3 mixed with Ba5PrTi3V7O30 having TB-structure. Solid Solution (1-x)Ba5PrTi3V7O30-xBiFeO3 is prepared by using Solid State Reaction technique for different values of x. Pellets are calcined at 750 Â then sintered at 800 . Basic Crystal qualities and formation of single phase compound is confirmed by the XRD (X-Ray Diffractogram). The crystal structure is more or less constant i.e. Orthorhombic. Â However, further increase in x changes the crystal structure. For x= 0.7 the system is Rhombohedral in structure. Grain morphology is being analysed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM: JOEL-IT300).Surface morphology shows that average grain size range from around 0.75 Âµm to 2.10 Âµm. Average grain size is maximum for x = 0.3 and minimum for x=0 (i.e. pure ferroelectric material). Magnetic measurement is done at a wide low temperature range (10-350K) by Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS: Quantum Design, San Diego, USA) Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Hysteresis (M-H) loops are measured at room temperature (300K).It shows that the magnetization changes when the value of x changes. Remanence is maximum for x=0.3 and Coercivity is maximum for x=0.7. The material could be suitable to fabricate non volatile magnetic storage memory device.

In this paper present a prototype platform for automated chicken feeding control with an embedded system. This prototype is an automated real-time chicken feeding mixing system that will help chicken farmers become more automated, which will be highly beneficial for the expansion of the chicken poultry farm in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand. This machine may take the role of a person in the chicken-feeding process, solving the farm's labor shortage. The apparatus for feeding chickens makes use of an Arduino Uno board as the heart of an embedded system controller. The two major components of this device are an Arduino that controls the servomotor opening for the food container and another Arduino that controls the servomotor opening for the food ingredients in a mixed food container. The prototype platform will have an alarm when the food ingredients are at the minimum quantity. This also helps the chickens get the amount of food and nutrients that are appropriate for their age while reducing labour costs, saving food, and controlling chicken feeding on time.
Deciphering the Visibility of Higher Education Institutions: A Statistical Analysis of Google Search Console Data
Authors: Arief Ikhwan
Published: April 2024

The research presented here delves into the connection between data from Google Search Console (GSC) and the Webometrics visibility score of a specific public university's web presence. The study scrutinized GSC parameters such as clicks, impressions, click-through-rate (CTR), and average position to assess their impact on the university's digital visibility. The results indicate that impressions and average position play a critical role in determining the Webometrics visibility score, underscoring the significance of search engine optimization for learning establishments. The research also pinpointed the most effective search queries that drive substantial visitor traffic to the university's website, underlining the need for precise content targeting to optimize search performance. In this study, a predictive model was developed using multiple linear regression analysis to accurately predict the Webometrics visibility score based on GSC metrics, suggesting that strategic efforts to enhance these parameters could boost a university's online prominence. Additionally, a theoretical model was proposed to clarify the dynamic relationship between impressions, positions, and clicks in shaping the overall web visibility. Although this study provides valuable insights, it is based on data from a single university, which calls for further investigation using more varied datasets. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the immense potential of leveraging GSC data to bolster a university's online footprint, suggesting that strategic enhancements of vital parameters can greatly improve a university's online visibility according to Webometrics. As the academic world becomes increasingly digital, implementing these findings to guide search engine optimization strategies is a crucial element of institutional administration.

Published: April 2024

La investigación tiene por objetivo analizar el uso del estado de excepción por grave conmoción interna como forma de eludir la responsabilidad estatal en Ecuador. Se trabajó metodológicamente en la revisión de 18 documentos desde una perspectiva jurídico-reflexiva con un alcance descriptivo. El uso indiscriminado o prolongado del estado de excepción plantea preocupaciones en relación con el respeto de los derechos humanos y civiles, así como despierta debates sobre la instauración de medidas autoritarias. Es esencial establecer límites temporales precisos y mecanismos de revisión periódica para evitar la erosión de las garantías democráticas durante períodos de crisis.

Human Security

Published: April 2024

Human security atau keamanan manusia menjadi isu penting dalam terjadinya kedamaian dunia. Konsep keamanan yang bermula pada negara dan militer berubah menjadi keamanan manusia yang lahir setelah perang dingin. Sebagaimana United Nations Development Program (UNDP) menyatakan bahwa ancaman perang atau nuklir tidak akan cukup melengkapi konsep keamanan itu sendiri. Maka dari itu United Nations Development Program (UNDP) menyatakan bahwa fokus keamanan harus bergeser dari ancaman kemananan nuklir suatu negara menjadi keamanan manusia. Dengan berangkat dari konsep keamanan tersebut penulis mencoba mengkaitkan dengan konflik yang terjadi di Palestina dan Israel. Konflik yang sudah lama terjadi melahirkan konflik berkelanjutan. Konflik politik yang memiliki unsur agama dalam perebutan tanah yang dijanjikan menurut keyakinan yahudi dan islam, menjadikan peperangan tersebut dan melahirkan kekacauan yang jauh dari kata keamanan manusia dan genosida yang terjadi menjadi pelanggaran HAM berat yang menyebabkan banyak korban sipil berjatuhan baik anak anak maupun perempuan ikut menjadi korban peperangan antara Palestina dan Israel.
Representation of the Identity of the Indonesian Ulama Council in Fatwa Regarding Religious Blasphemy in the Case of Basuki Tjahaja Cahaya Purnama (Ahok)
Authors: Kharismawati Mery , Hidayat Arief
Published: April 2024

MUI's fatwa in the case of blasphemy and insulting clerics by Ahok is a complex event. It not only signifies the rise of political Islam in the arena of contestation but also symbolizes the presence of identity representation. MUI through its fatwa seems to confirm the presence of sectarian identity based on religion. This refers to Johnson's concept that the media text leads to something behind it. By analyzing the fatwa, it becomes clear that through its text, MUI not only shows itself as an affirmation of Islamic identity as the dominant but also as a binary differentiator in the cultural representation of Indonesian society in various other dimensions. By using a text analysis approach and also a literature study, the author concluded that MUI has opened political identity in the electoral arena. The issuance of MUI fatwa text in Ahok's case has opened a new level of cultural representation dynamics, through religious identity that goes hand in hand with electoral contestation.
