Malaria is one of the tropical diseases popularly known all over Africa. It is caused by the female Anopheles mosquitoes which transmit Plasmodium falciparum into human blood and result in high fever or sudden death. Based on this study, people from the less developed region have poor hygiene and sanitation that contributed to the spread of the vector causing malaria. In this study, geospatial techniques were applied to collect the samples, about 125 samples were collected. The GPS capture was employed using the satellite image to georeference the area study. The data obtained are of four types; the National Health Management Information System (NHMIS, National Malaria Elimination Programme; Malaria Health Product-Daily Consumption Register, Minjibir General Hospital (Federal Ministry of Health), Sample Field Survey (Questionnaire) and Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KSCHMA). The results indicated that over 26.4% of children are vulnerable to malaria, 24.8% of infants and 24% of adults. The overall analysis of the 5 villages including minjibir Gari surveyed have 84% of people tested positive with plasmodium falciparum in their blood and a few over 16% were tested with a negative reaction.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE E-COURT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN SEMARANG COURTS IN SEMARANG CITY
Authors: Widodo Wahyu , Galang Toebagus , Budoyo Sapto
Published: May 2022

The administration of courts in Indonesia adheres to Article 2 paragraph (4) of Law no. 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power where the implementation of the court must be fast, and low cost. In the government’s effort to make this happen, an online court system, known as E-Court, is created in which presents four E-Court features, namely E-Filing, E-Skum, E-Payment and E-Summons. The implementation of the E-court, which is under the auspices of the Supreme Court Regulation No. 3 of 2018, according to the author, is still doubtful because the drastic changes from the previous court service system which were completely offline but now must be done online certainly lead to a separate polemic which is not impossible to actually slow down the course of the court. Based on that the authors intend to conduct a study that examines the effectiveness of E-court. The study was conducted using an empirical juridical approach method, which is descriptive in which the source of research relies on data taken in the field where in this case the authors chose to conduct research in the Semarang City District Court and religious court supported by relevant literature analyzed using triangulation of data to obtain results. The results showed that the implementation of e-Court in Semarang was still not effective as based on the data obtained from 2016-2019 there is no significant increase to the applicant who registered their case. The E-Court still need many improvements including adding the possibility to integrate the e-court system into criminal court. However, before going to achieve that there is but a large task that needs to be completed for the supreme court as an institution which oversees all courts in Indonesia and that is to increase socialization not only for advocates but also court employees and the community as potential users of the application so that the implementation of e-court can run effectively.

Published: May 2022

Wheat is considered as a major staple food crop in the world that fulfil the nutritional requirement of people globally. Since ages, wheat production has been providing nutritional security to people all around the world. But there are several factors that hinders the production of wheat and abiotic stress is one of them. This article is a review of abiotic stress that leads into several physiological, morphological and biochemical alterations in wheat. Abiotic stress is environmental condition that reduces growth and yield of plant below optimum level. Drought, salt, heat, wind is the major abiotic stress that adversely affect plant growth and productivity. These stress alone or in combined form can pose a serious intimidation on the wheat production. Delayed germination, decreased net photosynthetic rate, plant stunting, water and nutrient stress, reduced tillering and number of spikelets, lower grain test weight and low grain yield are the consequences of abiotic stress in wheat. Some of the wheat varieties are found to be highly tolerant to this abiotic stress while some are sensitive to these stresses. Stress resistance superior wheat genotypes with suitable agronomic management and scheduling is found to be the ultimate solution to this abiotic stress.

Authors: Boluwaji Isedowo Esther
Published: May 2022

This experiment examined the effect of seed treatment versus field spraying on the agronomic performance of three new maize varieties in Abeokuta. These maize varieties were 1) DMR-ESR-Y 2) SAMMAZ 15 and, 3) OBA SUPER 2. Treatments were 1) Control 2) Seed treatment with Dressforce (Active ingredient Imidacloprid) 3) Seedling spraying with Cypermethrin. The experiment was carried out during the early growing season between March and June, 2017 at the Teaching and Research Farm, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. The experiment was carried out on the field in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. Observations were recorded on Plant height, Number of leaves, Step girth, Leaf area, Percentage germination, Percentage tasselling, Number of cobs per plot, and 100- seed weight. Analysis of variance revealed that there were significant differences between the varieties except for Leaf area, Plant height, and the number of leaves and also there were significant differences among the treatment except for Percentage germination, Percentage tasselling, and Number of cobs per plot. Analysis of variance also revealed that there was no significant difference in the interaction between the varieties and treatment except for 100-seed weight. Mean separation among varieties revealed that DMR-ESR-Y had the best performance in terms of Percentage germination, Percentage tasselling, Number of cobs per plot, and 100-seed weight. SAMMAZ 15 had the best performance in the terms of leaf area, stem girth, plant height, and the number of leaves while OBA SUPER 2 had the lowest performance in all the parameters evaluated. The treated seed had the best performance in all the parameters evaluated except for Percentage germination and Percentage tasselling which shows no significant differences with other treatments. DMR-ESR-Y and OBA SUPER 2 among the maize showed a better performance when treated with Imidacloprid before planting while SAMMAZ 15 had a better performance when sprayed with cypermethrin. It can be concluded from this research work that to produce fast-growing plants with a high yield, seeds for these maize varieties should be treated with insecticide before planting.

Published: May 2022

Decomposition is a microbial driven process and man has maximized this natural process in composting which is the biological decomposition of biodegradable solid waste under controlled conditions. In Kenya, waste from Brassica olerecea var. capitata, which is the main vegetable crop accounts for the largest proportion of solid waste generated in food markets. Majority of the population use landfill as a disposal method, although this is neither sustainable nor environmentally friendly. Moreover, cabbage wastes release glucosinolates during the initial stages of decomposition which is deleterious to beneficial biodegradation microbial communities. This study focused on isolating and characterizing microorganisms involved in decomposition, determining microbial succession patterns during decomposing stages, and assessing changes in temperature during decomposition. Leaves of different Brassica cultivars were collected from Githurai food market, Nairobi at four different points. The samples were then piled in sterile bags, three replicates per sample and maintained in a greenhouse for ninety days. Temperature readings were taken after every two days while samples for microbial isolation and characterization were taken after every two weeks. All microorganisms were characterized both morphologically and biochemically. Interestingly, bacterial load CFU/ml differed significantly (P < 0.001) based on the composting stage, where those at stage zero (0) recorded the lowest bacterial load in week 2. Remarkably, 17 bacteria isolates were detected where only three isolates could grow at 55 ºC.

EFFECT OF POSTHARVEST TREATMENTS ON QUALITY ATTRIBUTES AND SHELF LIFE OF MANDARIN (Citrus reticulata BLANCO)
Authors: Poudel Sudip
Published: May 2022

Healthy, mature, and fairly even-sized mandarins were harvested from a typical mandarin orchard to examine various storage techniques and discover an efficacious method to downsize the postharvest loss of mandarin fruits under ambient storage conditions. The allotted number of harvested mandarins were separately dipped in bavistin (0.1%), calcium chloride (1%), and clove oil (1%) individual solutions. A set of the collected mandarins was packaged in polythene; an assigned number of them was packaged in polythene only after immersing in bavistin solution, and the rest were neither treated nor packaged. All those mandarins were stored at ambient room conditions in a Completely Randomized Design (six treatments and four replications, each unit had fifteen samples); they were analyzed at an interval of every four days. A combination of bavistin dip and polythene packaging, and polythene packaging alone, drastically reduced the weight loss of mandarins. Similarly, juice content and titratable acidity were retained maximum in those cases, but TSS was found lowest in them. The fruits that were treated with bavistin and later packaged in polythene thrived up to seventy-eight days from the day of harvest.
HOST-PLANT RESISTANCE IN PEST MANAGEMENT
Authors: Chand Himani
Published: May 2022

Host Plant Resistance (HPR) is an effective, economical and eco-friendly method introduced for pest management. The concept of HPR has been emphasized mainly in order to reduce the use of pesticides as it provides opportunities to improve research and extension documentation to assist producers. It can also be taken as an effective tool for sustainable agriculture also focusing over the creation of organic farming where very low doses of pesticides are said to be applied if we can focus over this technology. But still in Nepal, the limitation of germplasm availability and development of biotype that can overcome resistance compared to the developed and other developing countries creates disadvantageous situations to completely depend upon this technology right now. Much interest in biotechnology relative to developing insect-resistant plants is in methods known collectively as genetic transformation, rDNA methods, or genetic engineering. These methods enable transfer of a resistance gene that could not be transferred by traditional sexual hybridization. NARC and Government need to prioritize moreover to the entomological research from onwards by increasing manpower in this sector and developing improved resistant and also regarding storage and multiplication of those germplasms.
Assessing the Evidence on Neighborhood Effects from Moving to Opportunity
Authors: Aliprantis Dionissi
Published: May 2022

This paper shows that treatment effects of the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) housing mobility program should not be interpreted as evidence on neighborhood effects. In a standard joint model of potential outcomes and selection into treatment, defining treatment as moving with an MTO voucher generates a model of program effects, while defining treatment as moving to a high-quality neighborhood generates a model of neighborhood effects. I state the assumptions necessary for using the random assignment of vouchers in a housing mobility program as an instrument to identify neighborhood effects. I then show that the literature using program effects to learn about neighborhood effects implicitly imposes dubious versions of these assumptions.

Sweet potato is a source of carbohydrates which is an alternative food in order to accelerate food diversification. This is due to the high productivity of sweet potato so it is very profitable to cultivate. Sweet potato has many varieties, one of the differences is observed based on leaf shape which has four kinds of leaf shape, namely cordate, lobed, triangular and almost divided. The problem that often occurs is that many varieties have similarities, causing difficulties in distinguishing sweet potato varieties, especially for novice farmers. To overcome this problem, the researchers created a digital encyclopedia of sweet potato varieties based on leaf shape using computer vision. The parameters used are area, perimeter, metric, length, diameter, ASM, IDM, entropy, contrast and correlation at angles of 0 °, 45 °, 90 ° and 135 °. The amount of data used is 256 training data and 40 testing data. The K-Nearest Neighbor method is able to classify sweet potato leaf images for digital encyclopedias with an accuracy of 95% with variations in the values of K = 23 and K = 25.

Pain in the active phase of labor will be felt heavier, sharper, and crampy and result in the spread of pain sensations. Pain and stress during labor can trigger the release of the hormone adrenaline. This hormone can cause the oxygen supply to the fetus to decrease, weaken uterine contractions to prolong the labor process. Prolonged labor pain can cause prolonged labor. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the effectiveness of lavender and red lemongrass aromatherapy in reducing pain intensity during the active phase in primiparous mothers. This research is quasi-experimental using pre and post-design without a control group. The study population was primiparous mothers who gave birth at the Brati Health Center and met the inclusion criteria. The sampling technique was non-probability sampling using a simple random sampling method. The study showed that the average pain intensity before giving lavender aromatherapy was 5.14 from 8, while the average labor pain intensity in the red lemongrass group before the intervention was 6.14 from 7.86. This indicates that lavender aromatherapy is more effective. when compared with the decrease in the intensity of physiological pain in primiparas by obtaining data for a mean rank of 19.25. In the red lemongrass group, the mean rank was 9.75. With a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05). From the results of the study, it is hoped that lavender aromatherapy and lemongrass aromatherapy can be applied in health care settings as a therapy to reduce pain intensity during labor.

Delaying clamping and cutting the umbilical cord is one of the efforts that can be done to increase the growth of neonates. The increase in neonate weight at the age of 28 days with a delay in cutting the umbilical cord was 1499.29grams. This study aims to analyze the relationship between delayed cord clamping and weight gain in neonates. The research design was cross-sectional using secondary data in the mother's and baby's medical records. The population of this study was all mothers who gave birth normally from two Independent Midwife Practices in the Jagakarsa area, South Jakarta and the sampling technique used was the purposive sampling technique. Data analysis using Chi-Square Test. The results showed that from 50 respondents, 82.4% of neonates experienced weight gain during delivery with delayed cord clamping. The results of the bivariate analysis obtained a significance value of 0.0001, this indicates that there is a relationship between the Delayed Cord Clamping method and the weight gain of newborns up to the neonatal period. The average weight gain of neonates with Delayed Cord Clamping was 1308.57 grams, while the weight gain of neonates without DCC was 781.25grams. The Delayed Cord Clamping method can increase the growth of neonates because the baby will get more blood containing oxygen, food, and antibodies. Babies get nutrients that affect their growth. It is hoped that every maternity mother who meets the requirements can delay the umbilical cord for 1-3 minutes so that it can increase the baby's hemoglobin level which can help the neonate's weight gain.

Authors: Raparthi Kiranmayi
Published: May 2022

Climate change is a multidimensional observable fact and is regarded as one of the greatest challenge human societies is facing in the 21st century. Debates on climate change advocate that urban areas not only contribute to climate change by emitting huge amounts of carbon-dioxide gas into the atmosphere, but also play a vital role in addressing climate change. This research investigates whether local urban planning policies in master plans target climate change mitigation and adaptation. Accordingly, this research undertook a qualitative content analysis of the policy framework of master plans that are involved in the sample and developed climate change mitigation indexes for all the sampled master plans by assessing urban policies against climate change mitigation evaluation protocols. This research significantly contributes to the field of urban planning and public policy by developing empirical evidence that analyzes the relationship between urban planning policies and climate change mitigation and adaptation. This research supports the use of master plans as an effective tool in mitigating and adapting to climate change and has an implication for mainstreaming climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban planning.

Universities annually accept new students at the beginning of the new school year. In the acceptance of prospective students on the Seleksi Prestasi Akademik Nasional Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri (SPAN PTKIN) di State Islamic University Of Sunan Ampel Surabaya, many prospective students who do not register will have an impact on income of the State Islamic University Of Sunan Ampel Surabaya institution. If the institution can find out early on the probability of a prospective student who will resign, then the management can take action to retain the prospective student. To overcome this, data mining classification can be carried out. The methods used in this classification are decision trees and naïve bayes. The number of students who did not re register compared to reregister resulted in the data being imbalanced. Data imbalances can affect the accuracy of the classification results. The imbalance of the data used can result in an unsuitable model. The solution to handle the data imbalance is to use the SMOTE and ADASYN oversampling methods. The purpose of this study was to compare performance of the SMOTE and ADASYN methods. The results show that the SMOTE method can balance the data in a balanced way compared to ADASYN. From the test results, the SMOTE method is more suitable to use than the ADASYN method because the ROCAUC SMOTE value is higher than ADASYN.

PDC Media Group is a company engaged in online trading. The need for data insight in the online marketplace is very important. Likewise, how to get quite a lot of data, of course, requires automation such as crawling data on the marketplace website. Due to the large amount of data, crawler systems are often not optimal in crawling data. The application of distributed tasks on the crawler system provides convenience in scaling the server both vertically and horizontally. Therefore, the large and growing data can be handled by the crawler system. The application was developed with the Python language, with the  application server using Google Cloud Computing. In a distributed task architecture requires a component in the form of a message broker. The message broker used in designing this system is RabbitMQ. Testing the crawler system uses 3 scenarios, namely with 1 worker, 2worker, and 3 worker. The results for the 1 worker scenario are 19.3 requests per second and 332 ms for response time. The results for the 2 worker scenario are 41.4 requests per second and 328 ms for response time. While the results for the 3 worker scenario are 60 requests per second and 331 ms for response time.

Indonesia has a bad situation in stunting. Stunting is a problem because of the consumption of less nutrition. This is caused by giving food that is not in accordance with the nutritional needs of infants. Infants 0 until 24 months old need attention in choosing a weaning food to support the baby’s growth. The purpose of this research is to find an optimized way to improve the menu of weaning food with the genetic algorithm method. It is expected to be able to reduce stunting suffering in Indonesia. The process of the genetic algorithm method uses the fitness function of a baby’s daily nutritional needs. The selection is Roulette wheel selection method, the crossover is whole arithmetic crossover with 0.5 crossover rate, and the last is the mutation process with 0.6 mutation rate. The research used 100 generations and the result is menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 6 days. The genetic algorithm can determine optimal weaning food’s menu.

Surficial geology plays an important role during earthquakes in terms of its impact on the resulting ground shaking, referred to as site effects. Site effects influence the level of earthquake hazard and risk in a region. Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is one of the most seismically active cities in Pakistan. However, it lacks any such seismic characterization. In this work, a seismic ambient noise study was performed in Peshawar using observations from a total of 92 stations. The seismic noise data is recorded using a broadband seismometer for a period of about 30 minutes at every station point. The fundamental resonance frequency and a first-order amplification based on the seismic noise recording are estimated using the method of Nakamura. First-order estimates of the amplification range from 1.0 to 7.0, whereas the resonance frequency ranges between 0.2 to 2.5 Hz. The results suggest a complex geological structure with low seismic impedance and deep soil deposits in Peshawar. The depth of soil deposits is estimated to be more than 300 m, leading to a potential amplification of low-frequency seismic waves. These findings are crucial for tall structures with fundamental vibration periods greater than 0.40 sec. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-010 Full Text: PDF
Durability and Microstructure Characteristics of Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials

Published: May 2022

Considering the environmental impact of cement manufacturing industries, this paper concerns the potential of using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), like fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag, as being essential to replacing the existing Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). The objective of this paper is to study the microstructural characteristics of concrete with SCMs and improve the durability of the product to increase the lifespan of concrete structures. Replacement SCMs in OPC are 0, 40, 50, and 60 by percentage of cement weight, and we have taken a water-binder ratio of 0.40 for M40 grade and 0.28 for M60 grade concrete. The physical properties and chemical composition of OPC, Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS), and fly ash were identified, and three different experiments were conducted to determine the resistance to penetration of chloride ions and corrosion processes. The rapid chloride permeability test, accelerated corrosion, and sorptivity tests were employed to measure concrete's resistance to the effects of aggressive environments and examine the durability properties. The most performed grade samples were analyzed as individual microspheres with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDXS), and X-ray diffraction. Significant improvements in various concrete properties were achieved through the partial replacement of fly ash and GGBS with cement. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-05 Full Text: PDF

Indeed, natural processes of discarding rubber waste have many disadvantages for the environment. As a result, multiple researchers suggested addressing this problem by recycling rubber as an aggregate in concrete mixtures. Previously, numerous studies have been undertaken experimentally to investigate the properties of rubberized concrete. Furthermore, investigations were carried out to develop estimating techniques to precisely specify the generated concrete's characteristics, making its use in real-life applications easier. However, there is still a gap in the conducted studies on the performance of the k-nearest neighbor algorithm. Hence, this research explores the accuracy of using the k-nearest neighbor's algorithm in predicting the compressive and tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of rubberized concrete. It will be done by developing an optimized machine learning model using the aforementioned method and then benchmarking its results to the outcomes of multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks. The study's findings have shown that the k-nearest neighbor's algorithm provides significantly higher accuracy than other methods. This kind of study needs to be discussed in the literature so that people can better deal with rubber waste in concrete. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-06 Full Text: PDF
Prediction of Urban Spatial Changes Pattern Using Markov Chain

Urban land uses of all kinds are the constituent elements of the urban spatial structure. Because of the influence of economic and social factors, cities in general are characterized by the dynamic state of their elements over time. Urban functions occur in a certain way with different spatial patterns. Hence, urban planners and the relevant urban management teams should understand the future spatial pattern of these changes by resorting to quantitative models in spatial planning. This is to ensure that future predictions are made with a high level of accuracy so that appropriate strategies can be used to address the problems arising from such changes. The Markov chain method is one of the quantitative models used in spatial planning to analyze time series based on current values to predict the series values in the future without relying on the past or historical values of the studied series. The research questions in this study are formulated thus: What are the trends in the patterns of urban land use functions in Al-Najaf, Iraq, between 2005 to 2015? How can the values of the changes be predicted for the year 2025? The hypothesis is based on the increasing spatial functional change of land use patterns in the city during the study period due to various economic and social factors. Making accurate predictions of the size of spatial changes motivates this study as a guide to urban management towards developing possible solutions to address the effects of this change, as well as the need to understand its causes and future upward trends. The contribution of this article is the presented outlook for spatial functions for the next 10 years. The computations using the Markov chain model will enable management to understand future relations and develop appropriate policies to reduce the hazards of unplanned changes in the city. Results show that residential posts, slums, and commercial activities are getting worse, while change values for industrial functions and other things are going down. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-04-07 Full Text: PDF
