“Para que no esté t´ojra...”. Un esbozo sobre la costumbre de embijar las paredes de los corrales en la puna de Jujuy
Authors: Rivet María Carolina , Calisaya Alfredo
Published: July 2024

En la actualidad se registra en la microrregión de Coranzulí (Depto. Susques, Prov. de Jujuy) la costumbre de embijar las paredes de los corrales con sangre proveniente del sacrificio de un animal de la hacienda familiar. Esta práctica se concreta especialmente, pero no únicamente, durante la celebración de la “señalada” (ritual de marcación del ganado) y consiste en realizar diferentes motivos en las caras internas de los corrales. Si bien en los últimos años estas intervenciones se reducen a “manchas”, hasta hace un par de décadas algunas familias realizaban motivos figurativos como animales, plantas, cruces y otros geométricos como líneas y rectángulos. El acto de pintar las paredes incluye la preparación de la sangre, utensilios y una performática específica que forma parte de la dimensión multisensorial de dicho ritual. Estas imágenes continúan operando, siguen activas, luego de concluida la ceremonia, incorporándose a la vida cotidiana de los rebaños y sus pastores. Esta investigación se basa en la información obtenida a partir del trabajo de campo etnográfico que comprende entrevistas, participación en diferentes señaladas y carneadas donde fue registrada dicha práctica y el registro fotográfico de las pinturas en corrales. En este trabajo nos interesa discutir cómo conceptúan los propios pastores estas imágenes, cómo interactúan con ellas, qué propiedades y capacidades poseen y cómo se vinculan con los animales de los rebaños..
DEMOGRAPHIC, OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL PREDICTORS OF TWEET DELETION AMONG U.S. JOURNALISTS
Authors: Ringel Sharon , Davidson Roei
Published: July 2024

Twitter and other social media platforms have become a key infrastructure for contemporary journalism (Kleis Nielsen & Ganter, 2018). Journalists use Twitter to gather information (Powers & Vera-Zambrano, 2017). They employ it to maintain a relationship with their audiences and sources and through that to cultivate their individual personal and professional brand as well as their employer’s brand (Molyneux et al., 2018). They also communicate with journalistic peers and hence participate in the ongoing production of aN interpretive community (Carlson, 2016).
While most research has focused on journalists’ publication practices, much less work has examined their decision to delete content they have already published on social media, an action that could have a meaningful impact on Twitter as a repository of public knowledge. In in-depth interviews, American journalists reported deleting tweets frequently. They also claimed such practices were common among their peers (Ringel & Davidson, 2022). In this study, we examine how journalists’ demographic identity, occupational status, and professional standing might be related to their tendency to delete tweets.
WHY DO ARAB-PALESTINIAN JOURNALISTS DELETE TWEETS?
Authors: Zedan Moatasem , Ringel Sharon , Davidson Roei
Published: July 2024

In Israel and Palestine, as in many countries, the majority of journalists operate an account on Twitter for different purposes, from news gathering and reporting to attracting new audiences and maintaining a relationship with their readers (Hanusch & Bruns, 2017). Many studies of Twitter’s journalistic role have examined journalists’ tweeting practices and the ways in which Twitter serves as an organizational and individual branding tool (e.g., Molyneux, Holton, & Lewis, 2018). However, only a few studies have examined the patterns of tweet deletion among journalists. Ringel and Davidson (2022) conceptualized the practice of tweet deletion as an instance of “proactive ephemerality, a social media phenomenon that occurs when users intentionally remove their own content from their social media profiles manually or with the aid of mechanical tools” (p. 1218). In this study, we examine the motivations of Arab-Palestinian journalists who operate in Israel for deleting their tweets. Based on semi-structured interviews with Arab-Palestinian journalists working in Israel, we seek to understand why they proactively erase tweets. Further, we wish to consider the implications of such an act for Twitter’s functioning as a public record.
UNFREE; INDENTURED; INFLUENCER
Authors: Lim Elisha
Published: July 2024

Academic scholars from various disciplines have critiqued the nature of migration regimes in which foreign domestic workers (FDW) are hired, drawing from the fields of social, health, and economic justice. We focus on FDWs in Singapore, where these conditions are enforced and rationalized through laws and government-owned-media that entrench socially constructed divisions. This paper considers how the reality of “influencers” who are "unfree" challenges social media studies’ assumptions about what, and who, is a "content creator." The paper offers a walkthrough of the TikTok advertising interface, in order to understand how FDWs adapt to the platform’s environment of expected use (Light et al, 2018). How do TikTok’s platform norms guide and pressure users to adapt to its advertising goals? How do unfree subaltern users adapt to these limits? How, amidst multiple layers of restriction, do FDW influencers use the platform for building self-authored stories of social status and heightened visibility?

Authors: Ngowi Eden , Jeremiah Justin Mugisa , Kaale Lilian , Elisante Emrod
Published: July 2024

Sun drying is the most common technique used to dry various food products due to its economic convenience. However, it is not effective owing to its unreliable nature leading to microbial deterioration and aflatoxin contamination of food. In Tanzania, about 1.3 million tonnes of maize bran are at risk of deterioration annually due to improper drying. The aim of this study was to design, fabricate and test an efficient small-scale flash dryer for maize bran. Using principles of material and energy balance, a small-scale flash dryer with a throughput of 500 kg of dry product per hour was designed resulting in a nominal diameter of 387 mm and a drying length of 20 m. Design calculations and drawings were done using MS Excel 2021 and SolidWorks 2018 respectively. Empirical procedures were used to fabricate and test the dryer. The material of construction used in the flash duct was food grade (stainless steel, SS 201). A fuel blend of Waste Engine Oil (WEO) and diesel (85%-15%) was used with a novel heavy oil burner. It was observed that at an inlet air temperature of 150 °C and air velocity of 12 m/s, moist maize bran was dried from 37% to 10% w.b. The fabricated flash dryer's energy efficiency, specific energy consumption, and specific energy utilization are 74%, 3.4 MJ/kg water evaporated, and 1.71 MJ/kg dry maize bran respectively. It was concluded that the fabricated small-scale flash dryer displayed improved energy performance compared to others presented in literature. Better instrumentation was recommended for feedback control on burner operation and process monitoring which further enhances the performance of the fabricated small-scale flash dryer.
Data Communication Over Power-lines: A Review on Technical, and Applications Challenges
Authors: ABDALLA ABDI , Ibwe Kwame , Gadiel Godwin Mruma , Ally Abdulla
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a review study on the data communication over power-lines, commonly referred to as power-line carrier, power-line communication (PLC), mains communications, or power-line digital subscriber line (PDSL). This study examines the technical and application advantages and challenges associated with adopting PLC as a preferred alternative technology for wideband or broadband data communication. The broader coverage area of the PLC network gives it a distinct advantage over other communication network technologies. Additionally, implementing a communication system using the existing power-line network is more cost-effective and less time-consuming compared to constructing a new network from scratch. However, the primary challenge lies in the fact that the power-line network is primarily designed for the distribution of electrical power within the frequency range of 50-60 Hz including the harmonics. This poses various obstacles such as electrical noise from appliances, signal distortions caused by the unregulated nature of the wiring, transformer bypassing, interference from high-frequency modulation, and variations in characteristic impedances, among others. Despite these challenges, the emergence of robust modulation techniques like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), along with the development of Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) density with improved processing speeds, as well as advancements in signal processing and error control coding techniques, have made the PLC network the most promising telecommunications access network.
A Proposed Reading of Lachish Letter 4
Authors: Begin Ze'ev B
Published: July 2024

Lachish Letter 4 is mostly legible and understandable, save one word, וידע, the punctuation and object of which are still controversial. Here, I suggest it should be read וְיָדַע and that its object is Šemaʻyāhū, a high-ranking army officer who came from Jerusalem to the Maresha Fortress in order to study Judah’s western defense lines. This proposition is supported by syntactical analogies with contemporaneous biblical verses. Thus interpreted, I propose that Lachish Letter 4 is not an alarming note on the fall of the Azekah Fortress, as some scholars argue, but a routine progress report on orders issued by the regional commander in Lachish.
The Management of Agricultural Taxes in the Valley of Arad as Reflected by Arad Ostraca
Authors: Vainstub Daniel
Published: July 2024

Although research of the Arad Ostraca often focuses on the victuals supplied to military squads passing through the fortress, where these products originate from is rarely asked. This study examines the Arad Ostraca for evidence of agricultural products raised as taxes from the inhabitants of the Beer Sheva-Arad Valley. It aims to enhance our understanding of how the agricultural tax collection system was used to supply the army with victuals. Seven ostraca exemplify the collection and administration system of tax-in-kind in the valley. This conclusion arises from the registration of large quantities of unprocessed agricultural products in these ostraca and their connection to clans or even towns in the area.

Published: July 2024

Рассмотрена важная задача краткосрочного прогнозирования значений временных рядов на основе предыстории (экстраполяция) без априорного задания соотношений, определяющих зависимость будущих значений от предыдущих наблюдений. Показано, что в основу такой экстраполяции может быть положено понятие части энергии отрезка временного ряда, соответствующее некоторой субполосе области определения трансформанты Фурье (субполосное представление). Получены соотношения для вычисления прогноза и определены условия, при выполнении которых он будет безошибочным. Приведены оценки для среднеквадратических отклонений оценки будущего значения при наличии случайных ошибок измерений в виде белого шума.
Инструментальные средства поддержки процессов создания систем понятий и баз знаний для предметных областей со сложно-структурированными объектами (на примере задачи определения реакционных способностей химических соединений)
Authors: Гуляева Карина Александровна , Артемьева Ирина Леонидовна
Published: July 2024

Системы понятий предметных областей с холо-меронимическими отношениями и основанные на них базы знаний представляют научный интерес ввиду важности прикладных задач, решаемых с их использованием. Выбор схемы базы знаний, искусный подбор промежуточных понятий – данная трудоемкая работа остается за экспертами предметных областей после закономерного ухода из процесса инженеров знаний. Возникает вопрос, можно ли автоматизировать сам процесс создания меронимической системы понятий и предъявить набор инструментальных средств поддержки данного процесса. В настоящем исследовании предлагается для решения данного вопроса использовать гибридный редактор, работающий в двух режимах (максимальной и минимальной) автоматизации процесса формирования меронимических систем понятий и баз знаний и позволяющий эксперту как затратить минимальное количество усилий, так и максимально настроить процесс. Основными элементами гибридного редактора являются редактор метаграфа сложно-структурированной системы, генератор метапонятий и конструктор функций и предикатов. С помощью редактора метаграфа создается сама сложно-структурированная система, подсистемами которой могут быть системы четырёх структурных типов: элементарная система, дескриптивная система, система-подмножество и система-процесс. Генератор метапонятий автоматически формирует множество метапонятий, соответствующих промежуточным понятиям. В свою очередь, эксперт задает схемы определения функций и предикатов с помощью конструкторов: конструктора функций и предикатов метапонятий и конструктора функций и предикатов с произвольным набором аргументов. При разработке баз знаний указанного типа работа эксперта предметной области заметно упрощается – конструктор функций и предикатов метапонятий подставляет часть аргументов автоматически.

Рассматривается дифрагированное переходное излучение (ДПИ), возбуждаемое пучком ультрарелятивистских электронов, проходящих через тонкую монокристаллическую пластину в геометрии рассеяния Лауэ. Получено выражение, описывающее угловую плотность ДПИ для случая, когда путь электронов в мишени значительно меньше, чем длина экстинкции рентгеновских фотонов в кристалле. Проведенные численные расчеты выхода фотонов ДПИ в направлении рассеяния Брэгга для различных значений телесного угла регистрации показывают значительное влияние расходимости электронного пучка на выход фотонов. Делается заключение о возможности использования выхода ДПИ, имитированного в заданный телесный угол, для индикации расходимости электронного пучка. Результаты расчетов показывают, что предлагаемая в настоящей работе формула может быть базой для развития метода измерения расходимости пучка релятивистских электронов ультравысокой энергии на основе углового распределения ДПИ.

Предложен метод идентификации источника теплоты, возникающего в скин-слое реактора генерации водорода, заполненного жидким металлом, при его индукционном нагреве. Благодаря использованию предложенного метода возможно при известной толщине скин-слоя найти мощность возникающего в нем источника теплоты, при которой обеспечивается нагрев метана до заданной температуры пиролиза и время выхода на стационарное состояние. Метод основан на использовании уравнения теплового баланса и локально-неравновесной математической модели, что позволяет учесть релаксационные свойства материалов. В результате многовариантных численных расчётов определена мощность внутреннего источника теплоты, необходимая для достижения рабочей средой реактора (жидким металлом) температуры пиролиза. Разработанная программа позволяет выполнять моделирование процесса индукционного нагрева металла в реакторе генерации водорода.

Accountability, Probity, Transparency and Good Leadership in Public Sector Promote Societal Development
Authors: N. N. Samuel , A. A. Uduimoh , O. N. Nkama
Published: July 2024

Projecting accountability, probity and good leadership in the management of public sector activities are part of every public official’s duty to adopt processes, practices and behavior that enhance and promote public sector values and interests that will enhance societal development. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine accountability and probity: necessity for good leadership and societal development. In order to achieve this objective, primary data were gathered through field trips from the use of well-structured questionnaires. The study employed a descriptive survey method as the research design. Data were presented in a simple descriptive format using frequency tables and were analyzed using mean and Pearson Chi-square contingency test with statistical tool (SPSS version 22). The findings revealed that the weakness in law enforcement and punitive measures in curbing corruption and reducing the incidence of mishandling of public resources are a common occurrence noticed in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA). It also recognized that despite good management of probity, mistakes, delays and disputes can arise and affect fund and resource management in public organizations. However, the study recommends that the government should be more active in imposing greater accountability and probity in the management of public funds. There is need for more proactive measures not only to sustain it but to re-invigorate it to ensure that things are properly done and public funds and resources are not just being embezzled in a rather reckless manner.

Household ants are an important group of insect pests because of their close association with man. However, there is less data on their role in the mechanical spread of diseases in the study area. Therefore, this study investigated ant species and the soil microbes in their nest in Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Nigeria in August, 2023. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 60 households across three developmental areas using hand-picking methods for ants’ collection as well as soil samples collection from available nests which were transferred in sample containers and transported to the laboratory for ants’ identification, parasitological analysis and culture. 3,015 ants belonging to five subfamilies, 15 genera and 17 species were collected. The most dominant ant was Brachyponera sennaarensis (21.43%), while Solenopsis spp. was least dominant (0.23%). Of the selected ants screened, none had ecto and endo-parasites. Although three (3) species of soil transmitted helminths were found in the soil analyzed using sedimentation method and the modified Baermann’s funnel technique in which Strongyloides starcoralis 16(26.67%) was more prevalent. Ants were also contaminated with (13) species of bacteria of which Escherichia coli was the most frequent (22.63%) pathogenic bacteria. Candida spp. was also recorded in the study. Consequently, Households in the study sites show increasingly high number of ants due to their efficient feeding and nesting activities; this may support the mechanical spread of helminths and soil pathogenic microbes, therefore proper sanitation as well as integrated control measures against ant infestation should be given due consideration.

Authors: N. C. Olisah , T. N. Obiekezie
Published: July 2024

A geophysical survey using electrical resistivity method was conducted around Old Ikenga Hotel, Nsukka in Enugu State, Nigeria to investigate the groundwater potential and aquifer protective capacity of the area. The project area lies within latitudes 6°50'4.0''N – 6°57'52.0"N and longitudes 7°21'6.3"E – 7°28'12.0"E, and covers an area of about 89.6 km2. Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were carried out with a digital read out resistivity meter (ABEM SAS 1000). The VES points were marked at 25 m and 75 m along a 100 m line. A total of eight soundings were carried out in the area. The VES data collected were interpreted using INTERPEX software and the results presented in terms of resistivity, thickness, depth and lithology. The lithology was inferred by correlating the result to the lithology log of the borehole drilled in the hotel and the geology of the study area. The VES result shows lithologic layers varying from 4 to 5. Aquiferous sand and Aquiferous sandy shale constitute the aquifer units in the area at depth of 30.26 m to 188.20 m, with their thickness ranging from 30 m to 74 m as shown by their isopach map. The aquifer protective capacity was determined by calculating for longitudinal conductance and matching the values to known standards. The calculated longitudinal conductance varies from 0.0409 to 3.1235 mhos. The interpreted VES results reveal poor, moderate, good and very good aquifer protective capacities of the overburden layers.

Published: July 2024

This study was designed to evaluate managing problem loans and work out the pinnacle of bank failures in Nigeria. One of the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was credit risk management which is the optimization of the bank’s risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within an acceptable level. Descriptive survey research was used and data were collected via annual reports of the sampled bank within the period of 2011–2016. The population of the research included the Deposit Money Banks. Pearson Coefficient of Correlation was the statistical tool used to analyse the hypotheses and this was done with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The researcher concluded that there is no significant relationship between credit risk management and bank failure in Nigeria. However, there were traces of weak negative relationships which keen interest should be given to because of the sensitive nature of the banking sector.

Authors: W. C. Praygod , I. M. Thereza
Published: July 2024

The research paper investigates the influence of tourism value chain determinants on destination competitiveness and tax base, focusing on the mediating role of mobile application usage. It emphasizes the importance of technology, particularly mobile apps, in enhancing the tourism sector's competitiveness and increasing tax revenue. Key factors include perceived advantages, technological self-efficacy, market capabilities, and ICT usage in Tanzania. Despite the lack of an official regional mobile application and low web-based marketing ratings, the study highlights the mediation effect of mobile apps on the relationship between the tourism value chain and destination competitiveness. The proposed model examines mobile app usage's impact on pre-travel, during-travel, and post-travel experiences. Data collected via questionnaires from May to July 2022, with 89 responses, support the theoretical model, showing that mobile app usage enhances destination competitiveness. The study concludes that to compete with other African destinations, Tanzania needs to adopt official mobile applications.

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure used to treat end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. The increasing adoption of computer-assisted and robotic assisted techniques in total joint arthroplasty has been found to enhance the accuracy of component placement. Short-term studies have indicated improved survival rates in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with the use of robotic assistance. While robotic technology has proven beneficial in revising procedures like converting unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to TKA, there is limited information on its application in revising primary TKA. This case report details the use of robotic-assisted technology with CORI system in the revision of TKA. The incorporation of robotic assistance during TKA revision surgeries may contribute to better alignment of components and potentially increase the longevity of the prosthetic implant. However, further research is essential to explore the impact of robotic assistance on the overall survival rates and cost-effectiveness of revision TKA procedures.
