Politics of Marginalisation of Igbo Nation in Nigerian Public Administration and Insecurity: A Blessing or a Curse?
Authors: Chioke Stephen
Published: May 2022

The Igbo nation is an important constituent part in the Nigerian political constituency. Yet they remain politically marginalized and enslaved and consequently treated as a second class citizen in the Nigerian project. According to the nature of this research, a desk research with great reliance on the secondary method of data collection and observation was used in: assessing the extent of the marginalisation of Igbo nation; establishing the relationship between marginalisation and insecurity in Nigeria; and examining whether the marginalisation is a blessing or curse. The paper discovered that the current tide of marginalisation is a blessing to the marginalised and a curse to the unity and sustainable development of Nigeria as a sovereign state. It is herein recommended that the principle of inclusivism should be manifestly practiced. In this regard, the Igbo man should not be merely tolerated in his own home. He must be allowed to be a stakeholder in matters that concern him as a part of the general system. It concluded that, for public administration to serve the need of the people, it must be devoid of marginalisation and allied factors such as: divide and rule, corruption, nepotism, tribal sentiments and other associated ills that make public administration unworkable. The implication of the study for practice is that if we continue to approach marginalisation separately from the issue of insecurity in which indices like human right abuses, inequality, unemployment and social exclusion on the basis of tribal and religious classifications are not tackled with utmost seriousness, insecurity will remain a nagging challenge in Nigeria. Therefore, there is a correlation between marginalisation and insecurity.
VELÂYETİN DEĞİŞTİRİLMESİ
Authors: AKÇAAL Mehmet
Published: May 2022

Velâyet, bir kanunî temsilcilik türüdür. Velâyet hakkının kime ait olacağı hususu farklı ihtimallere göre değişiklik gösterebilir. Ama, velâyet hakkı kural olarak birbiriyle evli ana ve babaya aittir. Buna ilişkin özellikle boşanma halinde ortaya çıkan en önemli meselelerden biri, velâyetin kime ait olacağının belirlenmesidir. Bu belirlendikten sonra ise yeni olgular meydana gelebilir. Meselâ, ana veya baba başkasıyla evlenebilir, başka bir yere gidebilir, ölebilir veya kişisel ilişki düzenlemesini yerine getirmeyebilir. İşte, böyle bir durumda hâkim boşanma hükmü kapsamında çocukla ilgili olarak velâyet, kişisel ilişki ve iştirak nafakası bakımından değişen şartlara uydurma yetkisine sahiptir. Böylece, velâyetin kendisine bırakıldığı kimsenin değiştirilmesi mümkündür. Bu, ana ve babadan birinin istemi üzerine gerçekleşebileceği gibi, hâkim de kendiliğinden velâyetin değiştirilmesine karar verebilir. Velâyetin değiştirilmesi için ortaya çıkan yeni bir olgunun bunu zorunlu kılması şarttır. Ama, daha önemlisi çocuğun üstün menfaatinin bunu gerekli kılmasıdır. Çünkü, böyle bir istem bakımından esas belirleyici olan ölçüt çocuğun üstün menfaatidir. Bu yaklaşım, çocuğun menfaatinin önceliği ilkesiyle de uyumludur.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de relacionar o segmento da manufatura aditiva no meio acadêmico e o impacto no desenvolvimento de novas técnicas de ajuste para um melhor aproveitamento da capacidade total da impressora 3D no desenvolvimento de novos produtos. A ideia principal da manufatura aditiva (impressão 3D) no meio acadêmico é de facilitar o entendimento dos alunos em visualizar seus protótipos uma vez idealizados em modelos tridimensionais em uma peça impressa, onde facilitará seu entendimento e ajustes deste produto com uma maior facilidade. Com a chegada da impressão 3D nas universidades, muitos alunos terão o primeiro contato com seu projeto saindo do papel e se tornando um produto finalizado passando por poucas etapas. Em relação ao tempo do projeto, idealizando sua confecção em peça pronta, seguindo todas as nomas de segurança, poderá o aluno testar diferentes densidades e ajuste para obter uma peça finalizada com densidade e resistência mecânica e ver em tempo real como seu projeto irá se comportar ao ser submetido a teste de campo. Esse tipo de ferramenta capacita pessoas a desenvolverem pequenos protótipos em suas casas através de programas como o CAD (Computer Aided Design), onde se pode projetar e visualizar um objeto.

Published: May 2022

O empreendedorismo é caracterizado como uma atividade essencial para o desenvolvimento econômico e social de uma região, sendo um tema amplamente discutido e incentivado em diferentes contextos, em especial, nas instituições de ensino superior. De modo específico, este estudo é desenvolvido tendo como recorte a Intenção Empreendedora (IE), a qual é fundamentada na Teoria do Comportamento Planejado de Ajzen (1991) e tem por objetivo identificar e analisar os fatores que influenciam a IE de alunos matriculados no curso de Engenharia Têxtil de uma universidade no Brasil e outra no Japão.  Realizou-se uma pesquisa de caráter descritivo, quantitativo e transversal, tendo como base o estudo de Liñán e Chen (2009) que desenvolveram um instrumento de medida psicométrica para a mensuração da IE. As análises empregadas foram:  estatística descritiva e a regressão múltipla.  A pesquisa apontou que os alunos do Brasil têm uma predisposição maior ao empreendedorismo do que os alunos do Japão. Ademais, percebeu-se que variáveis como gênero, formação em empreendedorismo, parentes empreendedores e idade influenciam a IE. Revelou-se também que para os estudantes brasileiros a variável Atitude Pessoal é a mais correlacionada com a IE. Por outro lado, na amostra dos estudantes japoneses, a variável Controle do Comportamernto Percbido  foi a mais relacionada com a IE.  Por fim, foi possível reafirmar os postulados de Ajzen (1991), os quais apontam que os fatores comportamentais apresentam o maior poder explicação da IE.

Authors: Solana-González Pedro , Vanti Adolfo Alberto , Kreutz Rafael Rudolfo
Published: May 2022

This research aims to develop a design for the selection of entrepreneurship projects using a multi-criteria decision method. The Design Science Research (DSR) approach is used through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a methodology applied to entrepreneurship projects in accounting. The results obtained correspond to the hierarchical multi-criteria design, the application of which has allowed the establishment of a ranking of the best entrepreneurial projects analyzed. The work systematizes the decision-making process by proposing a structure of criteria and sub-criteria that applies David McClelland's characteristics of entrepreneurial success and the stages to be followed for the evaluation of projects, avoiding decision-making processes that rely on intuition or that oversimplify the variables to be considered. The relevance and originality of the work focuses on the study of the decision-making process in a relatively unstudied area such as entrepreneurship, considering the greater organizational complexity. This work enables the optimization of the decision-making process in the entities and bodies responsible for evaluating and granting funding to this type of project.

RELEVANSI ILMU TASAWUF DENGAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN DAN TEKNOLOGI
Authors: Uyun Vika Fitrotul
Published: May 2022

Tasawuf merupakan salah satu bagian dari ajaran Islam yang tidak bisa diabaikan begitu saja. Perkembangan tasawuf baik secara teoritis maupun keilmuan praktis ternyata memiliki dampak yang luar biasa dalam mempengeruhi perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, sains dan teknologi yang saat ini semakin canggih. Kelahiran tasawuf sebagai perwujudan dari pemahaman al-Qur’an dan al-Hadits sesuai dengan konteks zamannya. Namun, selama ini sebagian besar masyarakat memahami tasawuf secara pasif sebatas suatu sikap atau kesalehan individual saja. Seiring berkembangnya kajian tentang tasawuf, semakin banyak pula para pakar tasawuf yang banyak membedah tasawuf menjadi lebih kontekstual. Tasawuf hadir dalam rangka menyeimbangkan antara moral dengan perkembangan sains dan teknologi. Selain itu, tasawuf juga berfungsi untuk mengontrol pemanfaatan sains dan teknologi tersebut. Manusia dibekali akal bisa membuat kreativitas yang tidak terbatas, dan dengan bekal hati manusia bisa mengendalikan hasil kerja otak yang sangat dasyat itu. Jadi, relevansi tasawuf dalam perkembangan sains dan teknologi adalah tetap menyesuaikan diri dengan perkembangan sains dan teknologi dengan titik tekannya pada aspek moral dan penggunaannya serta menjaga keseimbangan lingkungan hidup. Tasawuf dengan segala aspek ajaran-ajarannya memberikan semangat spiritualitas yang bersifat global kepada umat manusia agar para pelaku dan pengguna teknologi mawas diri.
MPF based symmetric cipher performance comparison to AES and TDES
Authors: Mihalkovich A. , Levinskas M. , Makauskas P.
Published: May 2022

This paper presents a performance comparison of newly created matrix power function (MPF) based symmetric cipher realized in cipher-block chaining mode (CBC) with two other standardized ciphers namely AES-128 and triple DES. The encryption rate is compared using 64 bits arithmetic operations. It is shown that the proposed cipher has a significant advantage against compared ciphers. It is achieved by consuming more memory for MPF realization. Mentioned ciphers are compared using the central processing unit (CPU) the number of clock cycles required to encrypt fixed size plaintexts. This paper also includes a comparison of a number of operations required to encrypt plaintext as well as memory requirements for each of the ciphers with pre-determined parameters. The main difference between symmetric cipher based on MPF and other standardized ciphers mentioned in the paper is the ability to work with larger matrix entries in comparison to other algorithms as well as availability to parallelize the process of encrypting a single block.

Published: May 2022

Исследовано влияние длительности светового воздействия (модели 18:6) на гормональные показатели стресс-реализующей системы в крови лабораторных животных. Активность центрального звена стресс-систем оценивали на основании данных о концентрации адренокортикотропного гормона, мелатонина и β-эндорфина в сыворотке крови, полученных при иммуноферментном анализе. Реакцию периферического звена стресс-реализующей системы оценивали в мазках крови по результатам количественного подсчета гранул катехоламинов в эритроцитах. Установлено, что колебания гормональных показателей стресс-систем у лабораторных животных зависят от сроков действия триггерного фактора. При увеличении длительности эксперимента до 21 суток в сыворотке крови отмечается наиболее выраженное снижение мелатонина, β-эндорфина и повышение концентраций адренокортикотропного гормона, а также резкое нарастание уровня катехоламинов. Данные гормональные изменения развиваются в результате срыва механизмов компенсации стресс-реализующих систем на фоне нарушения мелатониновых ритмов, что свидетельствуют об этапности развития общего адаптационного синдрома. Ключевые слова: гормональный фон, стресс-реализующая система, общий адаптационный синдром, биоритмы, световой десинхроноз.

The Use of Social Media as a Persuasive Platform to Facilitate Nutrition and Health Behavior Change in Young Adults: Web-Based Conversation Study
Authors: Friedman Vanessa J , Wright Cassandra J C , Molenaar Annika , McCaffrey Tracy , Brennan Linda , Lim Megan S C
Published: May 2022

Background

Globally, suboptimal dietary choices are a leading cause of noncommunicable diseases. Evidence for effective interventions to address these behaviors, particularly in young adults, is limited. Given the substantial time young adults spend in using social media, there is interest in understanding the current and potential role of these platforms in shaping dietary behavior.

Objective

This study aims to explore the influence of social media on young adults’ dietary behaviors.

Methods

We recruited 234 young adults aged 18-24 years and living in Australia, using market and social research panels. We applied a digital ethnography approach to collect data from web-based conversations in a series of forums, where participants responded to different health-themed questions related to health behavior change and persuasion on social media. We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis.

Results

Participants described how social media influenced their decisions to change their health behaviors. Access to social support and health information through web-based communities was juxtaposed with exposure to highly persuasive fast-food advertisements. Some participants expressed that exposure to web-based health-focused content induced feelings of guilt about their behavior, which was more prominent among women. Fast-food advertisements were discussed as a contributor to poor health behaviors and indicated as a major barrier to change.

Conclusions

Young adults reported that social media is highly persuasive toward dietary behavior through different pathways of social influence. This suggests that social norms on the web are an important aspect of changing young adults’ health behaviors. The commercialization of social media also encourages poor health behaviors, largely through fast-food advertisements. Future social media–delivered dietary interventions should acknowledge the social and environmental factors that challenge the ability of young adults to make individual health behavior improvements. Care should also be taken to ensure that future interventions do not further elicit guilt in a way that contributes to poor mental health within this community.
Simulation models that enable long-term predictions and cost-benefit analysis related to housing adaptation needs for a population ageing in place: Study Protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Schmidt Steven Michael , Chiatti Carlos , Ekstam Lisa , Haak Maria , Heller Christina , Nilsson Maria H , Slaug Björn
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Policies that promote ageing in place are common in Sweden and many other countries. To be suitable for all regardless of functional ability, housing should be designed or adapted in such a way that it facilitates the performance of activities of daily living. The current housing stock cannot sufficiently accommodate a population aging in place, and long-term planning and plausible projections of development 20-30 years into the future are needed.

OBJECTIVE

The overall aim is to develop simulation models that enable long-term predictions and analysis of potential consequences in terms of societal gains and costs for different large-scale measures and interventions in the ordinary housing stock.

METHODS

This study is designed as a simulation study and will broadly apply health impact assessment methods in collaboration with several municipalities in Sweden. Individual interviews and research circles were used to identify and prioritize potential new policies to improve the accessibility of the housing stock. We will run a series of simulations based on an estimated willingness to pay from discussions with the municipalities. Two to three different prioritized policies will be compared simultaneously using Markov cohort analysis to estimate the potential costs and health impact on the population. Using existing datasets with individual level data on home and health variables, we will also conduct several microsimulations representing those living in the community. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted for each simulation.

RESULTS

As of April 2022, open access data is collected, a systematic review is underway, and collaboration with five municipalities is ongoing including a list of prioritized policy level interventions. Data gathering and analysis for simulation inputs will be completed during 2022 followed by the simulation modelling analyses to be completed in 2023.

CONCLUSIONS

Improved accessibility of the ordinary housing stock has the potential to maintain or improve the health of our ageing population. This study will generate tools that enable long-term predictions and reliable cost-benefit estimates related to the housing adaptation needs for a population ageing in place, thus providing support for the best-informed policy decisions.
Visualized Hotspots and Trends in Oncological Ferroptosis: a Bibliometric Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Ding Haoran , Wu Chenzhou , Zhan Qi , Li Yi
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Background: Ferroptosis is a novel modality of cell death triggered by iron-dependent accumulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. It can occur during various types of physiological and pathological states. The discovery of ferroptosis shed light on treatment resistance and gave birth to the therapy choices in clinical oncology.

OBJECTIVE

To clearly understand the current state and research trend in oncological ferroptosis, we used bibliometric analysis as a tool to visualize the hotspots and detect research trends in this field.

METHODS

Manuscripts in oncological ferroptosis were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Bibliometric analysis was accomplished by integrating multiple analysis tools. SATI (Statistical Analysis Toolkit for Informetric) was used to generalize the volume of manuscripts and productive journals. VosViewer and CiteSpace were used to detect influencers, hotspots, and trends in this field.

RESULTS

A total of 1171 manuscripts were analyzed. Through bibliometric analysis, we found that oncological ferroptosis has witnessed a sharp increase in the volume of manuscripts and continues to prosper. In terms of journal analysis, it shows that Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications was the most active producer in this field. Meanwhile, according to researchers' analysis, we found Daolin Tang has been dedicated to ferroptotic oncology researches and concentrated in oncological ferroptosis and autophagy. Also, listed as the third of the most active researcher and top 5 of the most co-cited researchers, Brent R Stockwell is one of the influencers in this field with high centrality. Moreover, “ferroptosis”, “apoptosis”, “autophagy”, “iron”, and “gpx 4” are the hotspots, and the reference by Dixon SJ, which proposed the concept of ferroptosis for the first time, was the most co-cited. Through burst detections, we found three words: “lipid peroxidation” “autophagy” and “glutathione” and five references under citation bursts recently; they may be the next hotspots in this field.

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis in oncological ferroptosis. With researchers participating actively, the mechanisms under oncological ferroptosis began to be uncovered. Extraordinary efforts and intense cooperation are needed for the future development of oncological ferroptosis.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: Now a day’s vehicle parking is an important issue and day by day its necessity is increasing. In India we are still using the manual vehicle parking system and that is why we are facing problems like wastage of time and fuel finding free space around the parking ground when we need to park our car which requires a good amount of lighting. Another issue is chaos that happens while parking because there is no particular system anyone can park anywhere that sometime causes damage to the vehicles while moving out or in the parking lot. Security is also an issue there. To solve these problems we are introducing new car parking system. The system works as follows: The driver will place the vehicle in front of the garage door and there will be a monitor available where the number of available parking slots will be displayed. Keywords: Parking Slot, Arduino Uno, LCD display, IR sensor etc.

Cylindrical projections of a triaxial ellipsoid are used for global mapping the surfaces of celestial bodies, the figures of which the International Astronomical Union recommends to approximate by the mathematical surface of the mentioned geometric body. Its reference surface and projections are not available in GIS packages. In this regard, we are facing the problem of representing projection formulae in finite elementary functions or reducing the integrals included in them to elliptic ones. This will simplify direct and inverse transformations of such map projections for inclusion in GIS software. The authors present formulae for obtaining coordinates for cylindrical projections of a triaxial ellipsoid. Determining the horizontal coordinate for all those projections is reduced to the calculation of an elliptic integral of the second kind, as well as determining the vertical coordinate of a cylindrical projection which preserves lengths along the meridians. To determine that coordinate in an equal-area cylindrical projection, original formulae were obtained that enables representing the corresponding integral in elementary functions. For the vertical coordinate in the cylindrical projection of the meridian section similar formulae deduced in previous studies are presented. The definition of a vertical coordinate in a projection preserving the angle between the meridian and the parallel is reduced to the calculation of elliptic integrals of the first, second, and third kind. Thus, the formulae derived in the article can be used when including cylindrical projections of a triaxial ellipsoid in geoinformation technologies.

Published: May 2022

O problema do presente artigo pode ser assim expresso: em que perspectivas o uso dos cargos comissionados na estrutura política brasileira pode facilitar a corrupção? A hipótese inicial perpassa pela consideração de que a prática da livre nomeação na administração pública usada como instrumento de barganha, pode potencializar a corrupção na máquina estatal. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral dessa pesquisa é discutir a possível relação entre os cargos comissionados e a prática da corrupção sob a ótica dos dispositivos presentes no direito constitucional. Para tanto, a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, se procede inicialmente com um exame da fundamentação teórica da livre nomeação na administração pública. Após isso, o presente artigo se detém em desdobramentos práticos do uso hodierno de cargos comissionados na administração pública, passando pela Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade por Omissão 44. Conclui-se que, a ausência de regulamentação dos cargos comissionados, têm gerado, na prática, problemas de incompatibilidade com os princípios da administração pública, necessitando, por parte do STF, do reconhecimento da existência da omissão para que esta seja suprida.

Neste contexto, este estudo objetiva investigar o disclosure ambiental e suas variáveis intervenientes de 20 corporações listadas no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) da BM&FBOVESPA, em 2020. A metodologia classifica-se em pesquisa é quantitativa, descritiva e documental, com auxílio de um checklist. A coleta de dados sucedeu-se mediante os relatórios contábeis e administrativos das 20 corporações cadastrados no ISE da BM&FBOVESPA e sua análise do spearmam test ocorreu com base no Software IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Os principais resultados revelam que o disclosure ambiental das corporações desta pesquisa ocorrem de forma tímida e ainda estão em um estágio inicial. O disclosure ambiental ocorreu com maior frequência nos relatórios de sustentabilidade e da administração e, com menor frequência, nas demonstrações do balanço patrimonial e na demonstração do resultado do exercício. As variáveis que influencia significativamente no disclosure ambiental vinculam-se a atividade, lucro líquido, patrimônio líquido e ao lucro por ação. Conclui-se que as corporações analisadas apresentam o disclosure num estágio inicial e as variáveis que influenciam diferem de estudos precedentes.

As organizações estão inseridas em ambientes mercadológicos dinâmicos, complexos e desafiadores. Este cenário vem provocando mudanças nos modelos de gestão e requerendo, de um lado, espaços de trabalho mais democráticos, apoiadores, distributivos de poder e realizadores de objetivos mútuos; de outro, colaboradores qualificados e engajados com o trabalho, capazes de ser criativos e resolutivos. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar a percepção de egressos e estudantes sobre formação acadêmica e atividade profissional em espaços laborais formais. A fundamentação teórica está alicerçada em temas relacionados à formação acadêmica, atividade profissional e desenvolvimento organizacional. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como quantitativa e descritiva, tendo como respondentes 889 egressos e estudantes de graduação, sem restrições quanto à área de conhecimento e à universidade. Os resultados apontam que 51,72% dos egressos e acadêmicos respondentes da pesquisa percebem que a formação acadêmica e a atividade laboral formal estão alinhadas. Contudo, 24,98% apontam que às vezes percebem, às vezes não percebem alinhamento, e 23,30% não percebem alinhamento entre a formação e a atividade laboral formal. Observa-se, nestes dois últimos percentuais, a importância das organizações desenvolverem uma gestão voltada à adequação de objetivos, atenta às competências e valorização dos colaboradores; e aos egressos e acadêmicos conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes para que contribuam para o desenvolvimento das organizações e êxito no cargo que ocupam.

Phytoplasma can infect thousands of plants and caused huge economic
losses around the world. The large-scale spread and serious lethality of
phytoplasma prompt the urgent need for sensitive, accurate, visual and
rapid detection of these pathogens. Current molecular assays used for
detecting phytoplasma are expensive and time consuming. Here, we
established a novel All-In-One Dual (AIOD) CRISPR detection platform
based on CRISPR/LbCas12a technology and Recombinase Polymerase
Amplification (RPA) for the diagnosis of multiple phytoplasma. The
protocol is simple, requiring one vessel, rapid and sensitive, and the
output is visual. Cas12a/crRNAs complexes are added into a reaction
containing RPA Mix, RPA Primers and single-stranded DNA
fluorophore-quencher (ssDNA-FQ). All components, including 1 μL of
sample DNA, are added together and then incubated in one tube at 37 °C.
Phytoplasma was detected after 15 min or less from leaf harvest.
Positive results can be observed by the naked eye via fluorescent
signals. We optimized the amounts of crRNA, LbCas12a and the ssDNA
fluorophore in the detection system. Finally, an optimized system was
established containing 1,000 nM ssDNA-FQ and a 2:1:1 ratio of
LbCas12a/crRNA1/crRNA2 complex with a 0.8 μM concentration as 1. In the
optimized reaction, the AIOD-CRISPR detection system exhibited high
sensitivity, with limits of detection reaching 3.37E + 2 copies of
phytoplasma DNA per reaction. Field tests indicated the AIOD-CRISPR
detection system possessed high specificity and reached the 100%
accuracy when compared with PCR detection. In conclusion, the
AIOD-CRISPR detection system is a ideal selection with high specificity
and sensitivity for phytoplasma detection. Our work provides a technique
that can be potentially used to rapidly and simultaneously detect more
pathogens.
