Published: June 2022

This study presents a case study on good practice regarding how Multinational Corporations (Etisalat) have contributed towards skills development in Nigeria towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The study examines how Etisalat Telecommunications Engineering Postgraduate Programme (ETEPP) has provided the needed training for academics and practitioners in the telecommunication sector through knowledge & technology transfer. A qualitative method of data collection and analysis was used for the study. Interviews were conducted and NVivo software was utilized in transcription, coding, and analysis of data from the interview conducted. This was supported with secondary data which includes journals, relevant books, periodicals, newspaper reports, internet sources, government releases, and pronouncement the findings of the study show that the ETEPP led to the creation of the first department of telecommunication engineering in Nigeria. In addition to this Etisalat in collaboration with Huawei technologies provided training and capacity building for Nigerians in order to ensure the sustainability of the program. Unlike what was obtainable before the ETEPP, telecommunication engineering training was basically done theoretically; the ETEPP provided hands-on training and provided trainees with a better understanding of the subject matter. This will no doubt go a long way in helping youths get skills needed for a technology driven world, thereby assisting Nigeria make considerable efforts towards SDGs.

Principal Component Analysis for Phenotypic Characterization of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) Genotypes in Malaysia
Authors: Karim Nurul Afza , Devarajan Thiyagu , Ahmad Aziz
Published: June 2022

A total of 39 sweet potato genotypes (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) were grown at Malaysia Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), Industrial Crop Research Centre, in Bachok, Kelantan. The aim of the study is to classify sweet potato germplasm for a future breeding programme in Malaysia. Twenty-seven phenotypic characters were graded using the International Potato Centre (CIP) using standard sweet potato descriptors. The principal components analysis (PCA) was performed to identify the main characteristics to be used in phenotyping. PC1, PC2 and PC3 had eigen value of more than 1.0 and accounted for roughly 78.00 % of all the morphological characters. The scree plot clearly shows that the semi-curved line was obtained for vine characters with a high variability of 95.14 %, with a cumulative variability of 89.36 % for leaf and 89.78 % for root characters. These 39 genotypes can be classified into 3 classes. Factor analysis revealed that the main plant habit characteristics in the first group were ground cover, plant type, twining and internode vine length and tip pubescence. The general leaf outline, the form of the leaf lobe, the number of leaf lobes and the shape of the central leaf lobe were the second groups. In the third group, the primary and secondary colours of the skin, as well as the flesh, were two of the storage root's major characteristics. Genotypes with these characteristics can be helpful in determining the appropriate requirements and goals for sweet potato enhancement in breeding strategies. It can also be used to document sweet potato germplasm for passport purposes.

HIGHLIGHTS

The phenotypic diversity for important morpho-agronomic traits, which are not known, typically shows important traits of interest to plant breeders

The PCA was used to evaluate the morphological traits that differentiated among the sweet potato genotypes

The findings provide information for researchers, especially breeders, to use in improving sweet potato genetics by defining traits that can be suggested for improving specific traits such as yield and other agronomic traits that contributed to yield

Srpske elite i velikosrpski nacionalistički projekat / Serbian Elites and The Greater Serbia Nationalist Project
Authors: D. Todorović Zoran
Published: June 2022

The paper presents a brief overview of the consequences of the actions of social elites in Serbia in terms of survival and nurturing of the nationalist course of society even after the disastrous results of the nationalist adventure of the 1990s, but also the interpretation seems to lead to its transformation. Social reality is still filled with a matrix of exclusive nationalism and chauvinism that is persistently created by political and intellectual elites leaving a narrow space for the actions of individuals and groups who would like a different social reality. The paper also presents some symbolic elements of the manifestation of the nationalist ideology of the Serbian elites, which aims to point out the deep connection between the elites and the consequences of their nationalist engagement. The prospects for their dissolution are emphasized through the necessary transformation of the value elements of society and the overthrow of the nationalist construct through deep democratization and the establishment of the rule of law. The author recognizes this path as a way of deconstructing the collectivist view of society about its own existence in an isolated and homogenized ethnic community that survives only in such circumstances. Slowly and painstakingly, the nationalist concept could be replaced by a civic and liberal one that emancipates a general community of individuals - a community that is peaceful on the inside and not a threat on the outside. The paper also points out that behind the nationalist activities of Serbian elites are often purely lucrative goals of individuals and groups with the aim of building, consolidating and gaining specific social positions, influence and wealth: some served nationalism "from profession and occupation", not out of conviction. This deep symbiosis is still obvious today and signals that social changes and the severance of their ties will be difficult, even if the leading political elites would sincerely want it.

Published: June 2022

Conditioned upon the negative impact of pandemic restrictions explained by the spread of COVID-19 disease, the global economy is declining, which has led to real risks and threats to the development of the Ukrainian agricultural sector. Identifying these risks and threats, assessing the impact of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the quarantine measures introduced in response to the agricultural sector is an important problem of agricultural policy that requires maximum efforts to solve it. The purpose of the article is to summarise the methodological basis for assessing the impact of restrictive quarantine measures 2020-2021 related to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic for the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy, to substantiate the basis for determining criteria and indicators of impact and to carry out their empirical measurement. Analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analogy and comparison are used to generalise the theoretical and methodological aspects of the study. To diagnose the dynamics of economic indicators, economic and statistical methods are used in analytical studies. A number of techniques of abstract-logical tools made it possible to formulate intermediate and final conclusions. Methodological foundations, scientific, methodological and practical approaches to assessing the impact of restrictive quarantine measures 2020-2021 related to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic for the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy have been improved by substantiating the optimal research tools, identifying the most informative indicators and indicators. It is proved that from the standpoint of an integrated approach, all indicators that are a measure of the impact of the spread of COVID-19 and restrictive quarantine measures on the development of the agricultural sector should be considered in accordance with the target segments for assessing changes at the macro and micro levels. In particular: macroeconomic trends in business efficiency; entrepreneurial activity; foreign economic activity; social and labour relations; finance and investment, state support, etc. The analysis showed that the progressive development of agriculture in Ukraine during 2020 explained by quarantine restrictions demonstrated structural, economic and financial effects (results) of a downward nature. Promising areas for further research in this direction should include the development of a set of strategic measures to minimize risks for the agricultural sector of Ukraine during and after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic
Influence of the Value of Relascopic Coefficients on the Accuracy of Determining the Stand Basal Area
Authors: Siruk Yurii , Siruk Siruk , Rubanov Olena
Published: June 2022

When conducting angle-count sampling in the forests of Ukraine, the most common is the use of factor gauge with a relascopic coefficient of 1. According to the standards, the recommended value of this coefficient depends on the approximate stocking and mean diameter of the stand and can be 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Proceeding from the fact that in Ukraine there are no tools for relascopic measurations that would allow making measurements using the 5 values of the relascopic coefficient provided for in the standards, the authors of this paper developed and tested an original model of the factor gauge “Crab”. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the accuracy of determining the stand basal area of stands using relascopic coefficients of various values depending on the mean diameter and stand density. By comparing the data on fixed-area plots with a radius of 17.85 m with the data of angle-count sampling, it was discovered that no systematic errors were found that underestimated or overestimated the results of angle-count sampling. It is determined that deviations of the stand basal area from the true values slightly depend on the value of the relascopic coefficient, as well as on the stocking and mean diameter of the stand. According to the authors, the accuracy of the results of determining the stand basal area during angle-count sampling directly depends on the representation of the tree selection zone within the circular sample. This is completely random when using any relascopic coefficient. It is established that in mixed forest plantations, the greatest accuracy in determining the sum of cross-sectional areas of individual forest elements is provided by small coefficients (1, 0.5, and 2). In pure stands, it is advisable to use larger relascopic coefficients (2-4). This implies a corresponding increase in the number of measurements that can better cover stands and increase the accuracy of the results obtained

Published: June 2022

t. A large number of dairy cows in Ukrainian farms suffer from subclinical
mastitis, which leads to significant economic losses in agriculture. Conditioned
upon the lack of clinical manifestations it is difficult to detect, in particular,
explained by insufficient information about the microbial composition of milk.
The ban on the use of antibiotics for productive animals is forcing new safe and
effective remedies. The aim of the study was to determine the therapeutic effect
of Bacillus megaterium NCH 55 in subclinical mastitis of Holstein cows. Research
materials – milk of cows with subclinical mastitis, isolates of microorganisms and
B. megaterium NCH 55. Methods used: California test for mastitis; microscopic test
to count the total number of somatic cells by the method of Prescott and Britt;
bacterial method for the study of microorganisms; polymerase chain reaction
to determine Mycoplasma spp. in milk; spectrophotometry; method VI Brillis to
determine the adhesive properties of Bacillus megaterium NCH 55; determination
of antagonistic properties of B. megaterium by diffusion into agar wells; the
method of flow cytometry using the device “SomaCount Flow Cytometer”;
physiological. The experiment was conducted in dairy farms of the North-Eastern
region of Ukraine: LLC agrofirm “Lan”, LLC agrofirm “Vorozhbalatinvest”,
LLC agrofirm “Vladana” in the period February-August 2021. Isolates of S. aureus,
S. agalactiae, E. coli enterohemorrhagic, E. coli, Candida, E. fecalis, S. epidermidis and
Mycoplasma spp. were detected in milk samples from cows with subclinical mastitis.
Microscopic studies have shown that Bacillus megaterium NCH 55 are white
gram-positive rods that have low adhesive properties and form spores. The
greatest antagonism of B. megaterium is shown in relation to bacterial isolates
in concentration of 1×109
, CFU/g. In 70% of cows that reached a productivity
of more than 30 kg/day on the 30th day of research, milk parameters such as the
number of somatic cells (CSC ≤400 thousand/cm3
) and the number of mesophilic
aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (kMAFANM) (≤100 thousand
CFU/cm3
) corresponded to the class “Extra”. The recovery time of animals with
subclinical mastitis depended on the degree of damage to the breast and
individual characteristics of the organism. Cows that did not reach a productivity
of 30 kg/day continued treatment individually. The number of somatic cells in
the milk of cows was ≤500 thousand/cm3
and kMAFAnM ≤200 thousand CF/cm3

Las velocidades de evolución de IDPs son modeladas por los ensembles conformacionales (*)
Authors: Marchetti Julia
Published: June 2022

Las Proteínas Intrínsecamente Desordenadas (Intrinsically Disordered Protein, IDPs por sus siglas en inglés y llamadas así de aquí en adelante) carecen de una estructura terciaria estable bajo condiciones fisiológicas. Su estado nativo está descrito por un ensemble[1] conformacional de confórmeros parcial o completamente desplegados. Estas proteínas presentan un desafío para la Biología debido a su dinámica compleja, su composición tan característica y su gran diversidad conformacional. Utilizando información estructural obtenida por NMR, en este trabajo se observa que las IDPs presentan tasas de evolución sitio-específicas muy heterogéneas dentro de una misma proteína, debidas principalmente a diversas restricciones estructurales originadas por el establecimiento de contactos físicos entre residuos. Se pudo establecer, además, que los perfiles de velocidad correlacionan con la diversidad conformacional observada experimentalmente en este tipo de proteínas, permitiendo la descripción de diferentes patrones conformacionales, posiblemente vinculados con la relación estructura-función de la proteína. Estos resultados sugieren, por un lado, que los contactos entre residuos en las IDPs restringen la velocidad de evolución de manera tal de conservar el comportamiento dinámico del ensemble conformacional y, por otro, que las velocidades de evolución pueden ser utilizadas como una aproximación sobre la diversidad conformacional de las IDPs.

Published: June 2022

Personal identification is a critical process that affects a large percentage of daily activities. The identification process can be used in the workplace, private zones, banks, and other places. Humans are a complex subject with numerous features that can be used to identify them, such as finger veins, iris, face, and so on. A personal identification system with a multi-model architecture is proposed in this paper. Personal finger vein biometric systems are widely used for automated authentication purposes today, and the proposed system combines them. Vascular biometrics, also known as vein recognition, is attracting a lot of attention because of its numerous security and convenience benefits. Vein patterns, on the other hand, usually contain more information than just those structural arrangements. This makes use of a vein feature. With a matching score level of 92.4 percent and FAR and FRR of 0 percent and 7.5 percent, respectively, the matcher for palm vein and Hamming Distance Matcher for iris provide higher accuracy of 92.4 percent. It was more secure than a framework that relied on a single personal feature for identification. The proposed biometric system is evaluated using a standardised palm-vein database, and the results show that incorporating textural features into the biometric process improves palm-vein authentication accuracy. As a result, the findings of our study can be applied to a wide range of situations.
The Impact of Using a Race-Neutral Model to Predict the Educational Attainment and Income of a Child in Personal Injury Litigation
Authors: Spizman Lawrence M. , Cahill Kevin E. , Kane John C.
Published: June 2022

This paper examines the impact of using a model that excludes race and ethnicity on predicted educational attainment and income of a child in a personal injury legal matter. We use the updated ordered probit models with and without race and ethnic variables from Spizman and Kane (2020) and compare the earning capacity losses of a minor child based on each one. We perform this calculation for more than 3,000 combinations of the right-hand side variables for males and females separately, with more than 1,000 combinations each for White, Black, and Hispanic individuals. We find wide variation within each racial and ethnic group, with some subgroups benefiting and others being adversely impacted. The results of our analyses provide guidance to policymakers who might be interested in the real-world outcomes associated with legislation requiring that race and ethnicity not be considered when estimating damages in personal injury cases.

The effect of process variation on pristine carbon nanotube particle dispersion within glass-fibre reinforced epoxy polymer composites and its resultant mechanical characteristics
Authors:   , Ramdeen Prajan
Published: June 2022

The present work focused specifically on two fabrication processing methods, namely, vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM) and double vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (DVARTM) processing methods. DVARTM was essentially a modified VARTM process. The research focused on the effect of nanoparticle dispersion within the composite and the effect of process variation on its mechanical properties. The resultant composites consisted of E-glass fibre (GF) infused with an epoxy matrix doped with 0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 wt% of pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), tensile testing and a quantitative “burn-out” test analysis were conducted to show the effect of MWCNT dispersion due to the process variation. The overall graphical DMA analysis for the DVARTM method revealed trends consistent to specimens containing homogeneously dispersed nanoparticle content. At 30°C, the 0.5 wt% composite from the DVARTM method displayed a 34% stiffness increase compared to VARTM with the similar wt%. Glass transition temperatures (Tg), displayed a steady incremental increase in DVARTM from 0.1 to 0.5 wt% content. The VARTM method showed a steady increase in Tg for 0.1 and 0.5 wt% content with a decline in 0.3 wt% content. In the DVARTM method, the damping for 0.1 wt% decreased by 14.5% and 10%, compared to the 0.5 wt% and the control, respectively. The decreased damping indicated an enhancement to the fillermatrix interfacial bonding. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) had a uniform increase with increasing weight percentages of MWCNT content for the VARTM method. Both methods experienced optimum UTS with 0.3 wt% MWCNT content. A “burn-out” test on various layers of the composite along the lengths and thickness directions was conducted for both methods. The resultant quantitative analysis of the residue on the GF after combustion suggested improved dispersion of MWCNTS for the DVARTM method in comparison to VARTM. The important finding in this study highlighted that enhancements to mechanical properties were achievable when using pristine MWCNTs along with process variation, as opposed to past studies which stated that pristine MWCNTs were non-effective unless functionalized.

Published: June 2022

The main objective of this study is to analyze the dynamics of the middle class in the DRC. It is based on a pseudo-panel corrected for statistical pitfalls from two waves of surveys on employment, the informal sector and household consumption, organized by the DRC's National Institute of Statistics in 2005 and 2012. From the analyzes carried out, it emerges that households identified as being part of the middle class were placed in the category known as the 'lower middle class'. In its evolution, the middle class has not undergone any significant expansion. Overall, this dynamic loses 2 percentage points and this is significantly observed in rural areas. In addition, a contrasting trend emerged at the level of the provinces. Only 11 provinces out of 26 have experienced significant growth in the middle class in 7 years. On the other hand, the dynamics of the middle class is not positive in 9 provinces, both in the lower middle class and in the upper middle class. The profiling carried out allows us to conclude that household characteristics such as the education of the head of household, the size of the household, its occupation status on the labor market and its socio-professional status have contributed to the dynamics of the middle class in the DRC.

With the development of science and technology and business in the field of animal husbandry, ducks have started to become the prima donna in livestock business in Indonesia, because the demand for duck meat and eggs is quite large. However, in its development there are obstacles faced by duck meat, namely the aroma which some consumers feel rancid, the color of the meat is less attractive, namely dark red and tough and the percentage of carcass is low. Post-harvest handling of meat is important because it affects the nutritional content of the product and consumer safety. Some of the efforts that can be done is by processing duck meat in the form of various kinds of dishes or preserved forms. With so many consumers' interest in consuming processed food quickly and for a long time, currently it is known as Frozen food. This assistance is carried out to provide knowledge about processing rejected ducks to get added value and selling value to duck farmers

This study proposes a theoretical model based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to help understand the intention as well as the behavior of the consumer which leads to the further decision of utilizing healthcare applications on smartphones in Vietnam. The testing hypothesis process was made on the basis of survey data collected from consumers who experienced smartphone healthcare applications mainly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh - the 2 biggest cities in Vietnam. During the study, besides five original variables from the TPB model, the research team attached two new independent variables namely Personal Innovativeness in IT and Trust, which represent the main drives leading to the upcoming trend of healthcare application usage. The result indicates that Trust, Attitude and Perceived Behavioral Control (which is formed by Attitude and Perceived Behavioral Control after measuring data validity), Subjective Norm, Personal Innovativeness in IT are the four factors that have a tremendously positive effect on both the selection and practice in smartphone healthcare applications. The research not only contributes to the literature by investigating the influence of the compatibilities on consumption intention and behavior but its findings also provide valuable insights for government and enterprises to have suitable strategies to reach more users and improve their experience.

This research applied the E-government Adoption Model (GAM) of Shareef et al. (2011) to examine the factors affecting the intention to use online payment when using public services in Vietnam. Besides the factors from the GAM model, two new variables "Social influence" and "The display of public services online payment gateways" are added to the model to be suitable for the Vietnam context and give a better explanation of the reasons that affect the factors. The research hypothesis is validated through the questionnaire with a sample of 358 individuals from different provinces. The results of reliability test using Cronbach Alpha and regression analysis on SPSS 26 show that there are 8 independent variables affect the "Behavioral Intention" using the online payment for public services. The variables "Perceived ability to use" and "Perceived Compatibility" are two of the major factors contributing to promoting the decision of individuals to pay for public services online. This research also points out the factor that previous study has not mentioned which is “The display of public services online payment gateways’’. However, this research has limited scope in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the following study can expand the scope to have higher generalization.

Published: June 2022

Fonksiyonel gıdalar; görünüşte, normal bir diyetin bir parçası olarak tüketilmesi amaçlanan, ancak basit besin gereksinimlerinin sağlanmasının ötesinde fizyolojik rolleri yerine getirmek için değiştirilmiş geleneksel gıdaya benzeyen gıda olarak tanımlanmıştır. Gelişmiş dünya sakinlerinin artan zenginliği, nüfusun yaşlanması ve buna eşlik eden sağlık sorunlarının artması, fonksiyonel gıdalara olan ilginin artmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı; restoran tüketicilerinin fonksiyonel gıda tüketimlerinin demografik özelliklere (yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, gelir düzeyi) ve hastalık etkenine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın evreni, İstanbul Avrupa Yakasındaki restoran tüketicilerinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yönteminden faydalanılmış ve veri toplama aracı olarak anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda; hazırlanan anketler Ağustos-Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında 271 restoran tüketicisine uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde; restoran tüketicilerinin fonksiyonel gıda tüketim eğilimlerinin, cinsiyete göre anlamlı derece farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Araştırmanın diğer analizlerinde ise; yaş, eğitim düzeyi, gelir düzeyi ve hastalık varlığının fonksiyonel gıda tüketiminde anlamlı bir farklılık oluşturmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: Kapadiya Manisha
Published: June 2022

Frozen shoulder goes through three progressive phases of pain, stiffness and gradual recovery, as initially proposed by Reeves in 1975. Patients experience both pain and restriction of movement, the timing and extent of these symptoms is a matter of debate. Frozen shoulder is often described as ‘self-limiting’ meaning that recovery will be achieved over time, regardless of treatment approach. A 51 years old home maker, type I diabetic female patients was complaining of right dominating shoulder pain with stiffness and actively restricted shoulder joint movement since last 4 months. A case successfully managed by 3 sessions of wet cupping in 7 days of intervals. The patient was assessed by Visual Analog Scale score and active range of movement. This case report shows that the cases of primary frozen shoulder can be successfully managed with wet cupping therapy.

Published: June 2022

The intention of the study was to determine whether male Black-throated Divers (Gavia arctica) can be distinguished individually by their vocalization. The songs of 19 male Black-throated Divers (BTDs) were recorded in their territories in the same lake area in 2018–2021 in Finland. The songs were recorded in one year in nine territories and in 2–4 consecutive years in ten territories. The song consists of one introductory phrase and one or more repeat phrases. Seventeen variables were measured from the spectrograms of the introductory phrase and the first repeat phrase. These variables included the frequencies and duration of different parts of the spectrogram. The discriminant analyses were used to examine the recognition of individual BTDs based on the spectral analysis of the male yodels (n = 297) in different territories (n = 19). The discriminant analysis showed that when using 14 of the variables of the yodels, the discriminant analysis classified the yodels to correct territories at a rate of almost 98% based on the cross-validation of all data. This suggests that the same individuals defend their territory from year to year.

Published: June 2022

A automedicação é definida como a utilização de medicamentos por conta própria para tratar patologias. A deficiência no acesso aos meios de saúde, e a veiculação de propagandas de medicamentos de venda livre influenciam a procura de formas alternativas de tratamento e uma delas é a utilização de medicamentos sem a orientação. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as publicações sobre automedicação pediátrica no Brasil, de modo a investigar quais os fatores motivacionais, bem como descrever os seus riscos, consequências e identificar quais os medicamentos mais utilizados. Para este trabalho foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de natureza qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Os dados foram coletados a partir da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando-se as bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Bases de Dados da Enfermagem (BDENF), Public Medline (PubMed), CAPES Periódicos, além da Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Como   achado mais relevante, esta pesquisa apontou a prevalência da prática da automedicação por responsáveis da criança e a principal motivação para esta prática foi a dificuldade para conseguir atendimento. Quanto à forma de uso, o estudo apontou que esta normalmente é feita por meio da utilização de receitas anteriores. Além disso, este estudo denota a importância da promoção de ações de prevenção junto aos responsáveis das crianças e assim colaborar para a minimização de efeitos negativos inerentes a automedicação.
