Water use and crop water productivity in farmer managed irrigation schemes across agro ecological zones of usa river catchment
Authors:   , Haymale Humuri
Published: December 2023

The Usa River Catchment is the potential area dealing with traditional irrigated agriculture. This study aims to estimate the amount of water abstracted for and yield that reflect water values to enhance crop water productivity. The main objective of this study was to assess water use and crop water productivity in farmer managed irrigation schemes across agro-ecological zones of Usa River Catchment. The specific objectives were: (a) to determine crop water productivity, (b) to determine factors causing the variation of crop water productivity, and (c) conveyance efficiencies in the traditional irrigation schemes in the Catchment. The secondary and primary data were collected and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and R-program. Consequently, the average productivity obtained were 2.3 kg/ha, 1.9 kg/ha, and 3.4 kg/ha of maize for downstream, midstream, and upstream zones respectively. Similarly, at twenty (20) furrows, the conveyances efficiency of the water channels was 72%, which reflects the water loss in the conveyances of 28% on average. However, the water abstractions were 3500 L/s more than the permitted amount of 2856.2 L/s, which was against the established water abstraction laws and regulations leading to water shortage in downstream of the catchment. Traditional irrigation infrastructure in this study contributed more water losses and low crop water productivity compared to global average water losses in the conveyance and crop water productivity in irrigation schemes. This study recommends weirs with water control structures intakes to be constructed, canal lining and improve irrigation water management.
Tin halide perovskites: computational modeling of structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties towards solar cell applications
Authors:   , Paschal Catherine
Published: December 2023

In the photovoltaic field, significant attention has been drawn to lead organo-halide perovskite materials because of their higher ability to convert sun energy to electricity and relatively simple process of fabrication as compared to silicon materials. Among the issues which hinder the lead perovskites solar cells (PSCs) application, are lead toxicity and instability of the PSCs in presence of moisture and light. The tin perovskites are thought over as the foremost fitting substitute due to their comparable chemical nature and high-power conversion efficiency. In this work, the methylammonium tin iodide CH3NH3SnI3 (MASnI3) and guanidinium tin halides C(NH2)3SnX3 (GUASnX3), X = Cl, Br, I, are considered; the electronic, structural as well as thermodynamic properties of the perovskites’ orthorhombic phase (O-phase) have been investigated using various theoretical DFT approaches. For the MASnI3, a direct band gap has been proved; in gamma symmetrical point of the band structure, the band gap value Eg is computed using three different exchange-correlation (XC) functionals: LDA 0.46 eV, PBEsol 0.98 eV and for PBE 1.12 eV; the best result has been obtained with the PBE which follows from the comparison of the computed Eg and lattice parameters with available experimental data. The enthalpy of the decomposition reaction of the MASnI3 into the solid-state materials, SnI2 and CH3NH3I, with reaction enthalpy, ΔrH°(0 K) = 37 kJ mol–1 , and enthalpy of formation ΔfH°(CH3NH3SnI3, 0 K) = –390 kJ mol–1 , have been evaluated showing the stability of the O-phase perovskite at low temperature. For the guanidinium-tin perovskites GUASnX3, the lattice parameters are optimized using the GGA PBE functional. Computations of the materials’ band structures was carried out, and band gaps at the gamma symmetry points were obtained: 3.00, 2.47 and 1.78 eV for the C(NH2)3SnCl3, C(NH2)3SnBr3 and C(NH2)3SnI3, respectively. The projected state densities are visualized, and the s-and p-states contribution of the halogens and tin to valence and conduction bands of the perovskites assessed. For the GUASnX3 compounds, the thermodynamic stability to different decomposition routes is examined, the standard enthalpies of formation are obtained: –673 (GUASnCl3), –541 (GUASnBr3), and –401 kJ mol–1 (GUASnI3). The interface between the hole transport material Cu2O and perovskite MASnI3 has been built and analyzed; the predicted binding energy shows strong binding between the two layers.
The Evolving Nature of ASEAN’s Human Rights Perspective: Vision and Practice
Authors: DURMAZ Ferhat
Published: December 2023

The matter of human rights was not a priority topic in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regionalism in the 20th century. However, human rights have become an important issue of cooperation in the ASEAN regionalism in the 21st century. From this point of view, this article analyzes the motivations that guide ASEAN cooperation regarding human rights, the historical development of the cooperation process and the problems faced by cooperation in the field of human rights in practice. The article’s main argument is that while ASEAN has strengthened collaboration in human rights in theory in the 21st century, it has not developed a similar behavior in practice, and there is an imbalance between the theory and practice in cooperation concerning human rights. This study shows that ASEAN’s traditional method of collaboration based on consensus-based decision-making and non-binding institutions has caused to a decrease in the effectiveness of cooperation over human rights and means that ASEAN is unable to reply effectively to human rights violations.
Identity resilience, uncertainty, personal risk, fear, mistrust and ingroup power influences upon COVID-19 coping
Authors: Breakwell Glynis M.
Published: December 2023

A model of the relationships between social psychological factors that were influential in determining individual coping responses to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented here. The factors include identity resilience (as defined in identity process theory), uncertainty, perceived personal risk, fear, mistrust and ingroup power. These factors are significantly associated with each other. Higher identity resilience is associated with greater uncertainty, personal risk and fear, but with lower mistrust and ingroup power. Social representation and group identification processes also have important effects on individual coping, and are moderated by identity resilience. Implications of the model for developing future pandemic preparedness include the desirability of fostering greater identity resilience in those at risk and the value of ongoing targeting of information and social support to promote the development of more effective coping responses to fear, risk, uncertainty and mistrust.

Se distinguen tres clases de interferones según sus características estructurales y biológicas: interferón α o tipo leucocitario, interferón β o tipo fibroblástico e interferón γ o tipo inmune, producido por linfocitos T y células NK.

Los interferones α, de los que se han identificado diversos subtipos, son polipéptidos no glicosilados con pesos moleculares entre 16 y 23 kD mientras que los interferones β y γ son polipéptidos glucosados. La infección por el virus de la hepatitis B (VHB), a pesar de los avances en el tratamiento y prevención, representa un problema de salud pública mundial. El conocimiento de la historia natural y de los factores pronósticos de la infección VHB es clave para el manejo y desarrollo de estrategias de tratamiento más eficaces
Detecção de bactérias na água tratada e armazenada em reservatórios domésticos utilizando citometria de fluxo
Authors: Mendes Leandro Manoel Afonso , Sarmento Hugo
Published: December 2023

A qualidade da água é o fator individual mais importante para garantir a saúde pública. O objetivo das estações de tratamento de água é fornecer um suprimento seguro de água potável para a população, garantindo a ausência e limitando o crescimento de qualquer microrganismo que possa estar associado a patogenicidade. Independente do meio de desinfecção, é comum as bactérias regredirem durante o tratamento e distribuição da água. As bactérias são autóctones na água potável e em sua grande maioria, não podem ser cultivadas em laboratório. No entanto, as contagens baseadas em placas de cultivo são o método mais usado mundialmente como um parâmetro geral de qualidade microbiana de água potável. Diversos estudos demonstraram a presença de microrganismos na água potável ou em biofilmes utilizando técnicas mais sensíveis como a citometria de fluxo, que ainda não é utilizada no Brasil com esta aplicação. Este método é utilizado para enumeração direta das concentrações totais de células na água, utilizando marcadores de ácidos nucléicos fluorescentes e detecção de características específicas de cada célula (single-cell). Existem na literatura relatos de detecção de microrganismos, alguns patógenos, em água de distribuição, reforçando a importância de tais achados para a saúde coletiva. Além disso, os estudos existentes concentram-se em países onde não existem caixas d’água residenciais no circuito de distribuição, um elemento que pode deteriorar a qualidade da água nele armazenada. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi verificar e quantificar a presença de bactérias em caixas d’água residenciais, através da técnica de citometria de fluxo.
The Effects of High Dietary Fructose Consumption on the Development of Gout
Authors: Anderson Michael E , L Tulp Orien
Published: December 2023

Fructose is frequently used as a food ingredient due to its low production costs, its significant sweetening power and its easy incorporation into a broad variety of foods and beverages. In recent years, it has been observed that people on a Western diet high in fructose often have high levels of uric acid in their blood. It was recognized that the metabolism of fructose in the body might cause increased production of uric acid, which then may impact the intensity of lipogenesis and the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS), insulin resistance, gout, cardiovascular diseases, leptin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or some combination of the above. To date, the treatment of hyperuricemia has been the recommendation of a low-purine diet characterized by limiting protein-containing products and certain alcoholic beverages, in addition to consumption of tart cherry or the widely prescribed purine analog and xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol in an attempt to decrease endogenous uric acid production. However, these recommendations often contribute to an increased intake of carbohydrate-rich foods that may contain fructose or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) constituents. Increased fructose consumption may then enhance the secretion of uric acid and, consequently, attenuate or negate any potential therapeutic effects from the prescribed therapeutic regimen. A better option instead of a low-purine diet for some would be to follow a healthy meal plan such as DASH or the Mediterranean diet, which can also benefit metabolic parameters. This article provides an overview of this approach, focusing on MetS and hyperuricemia among high-fructose dieters.
Rapid processes for the production of nanocrystal yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline ceramics: ultrasonic spray pyrolysis synthesis and high-frequency induction sintering
Authors: KOÇ Muhterem , ŞAN Osman
Published: December 2023

In this study, nanocrystalline 3 mol % yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) ceramic was produced by sintering with a high-frequency induction heating (HFIH) system of granular powders obtained by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) at 600 °C. The granular nano-sized powders (10-30 nm) were micron in size (average size: 700 nm), spherical in shape and amorphous. The influences of the HFIH sintering temperature (1400-1600 °C), applied current time (60-300 sec.) and the mechanical pressure (10 MPa and 20 MPa) on the final density and grain size of the products were investigated. The amorphous granular Y-TZP powders compressed with the HFIH system allow very rapid condensation in the tetragonal phase at high density and avoid grain growth. High density (relative density over 95) nanocrystalline Y-TZP ceramic with ∼70 nm size could be obtained from the simultaneous application of 20 MPa pressure and an induced current within 300 sec. of sintering time at 1500 °C. In this condition, the sample’s maximum hardness and fracture toughness values were reached at 14.9 GPa and 3.8 MPa·m1/2, respectively. Y-TZP powders produced in nano-micro structure with the USP system were sintered with the HFIH system and rapid production was achieved by preventing grain growth.

Effects of Feed Additives (Premix) on Growth Performance of Oreochromis niloticus (L, 1758) in Concrete Pond, Sebeta Ethiopia
Authors: Yimer Abelneh , Dagne Adamneh , Tadesse Zenebe
Published: December 2023

Lack of suitable formulated diets for O. niloticus production in   Ethiopia   has   resulted   in   low   development   of   aquaculture production.  To   address  this  problem,  two   isonitrogenous  (29% protein)   diets   were    formulated   and    evaluated   for   the   growth performance of O. niloticus in unfertilized concrete ponds. One formulated diet contained vitamin and  mineral premix while the other had no premix. There  were significant differences in growth rates and feed conversion ratios between the  two formulated diets. Fish which fed on feed with premix grew faster (p < 0.05) than  the fish which fed on   feed   with   no   premix.   The    reason  for   the    better    growth performance of fish which fed on feed with premix can  be  explained by better  metabolic activities, better  health and  a  balanced diet as compared to the fish which fed on feed with no premix.
Aquaculture and Diseases with Emphasis on Finfish Culture
Authors: Yimer Eshetu
Published: December 2023

Aquaculture is  the  cultivation of  aquatic  organisms under controlled conditions. This paper describes the  aquatic environment in relation to  improved husbandry techniques  such as maintenance of water   quality,  feed  formulation,  aquaculture  system  designs  and species selection. The  husbandry of aquatic animals requires stress- free environment and good nutrition, which maximize the comfort of the animals that result in good performance. An understanding of the physiology  of  response to  environmental  stress  and  the  degree of change to which fish can adapt through  these mechanisms is important to a definition of the  aquaculture conditions required for optimum fish health.  It   discusses  some  of  the   theories  in  relation  to  culture- associated stress that result in the occurrence of diseases and outlines methods of overcoming problems arising from intensification with particular emphasis on finfish culture.

Los objetivos principales de esta investigación son: primero, investigar los antecedentes conceptuales en la implementación de una propuesta de intervención para el fortalecimiento de la metacomprensión lectora a estudiantes, elaborada a partir de categorías emergentes. Segundo, evaluar la metacomprensión lectora en estudiantes de la Educación Media, mediante la aplicación de una encuesta a 133 estudiantes de grado décimo de la Institución Educativa Manuel Elkin Patarroyo de la ciudad de Girardot (Cundinamarca) y tercero, elaborar una pauta de aplicación de estrategias y técnicas metacognitivas en la metacomprensión lectora.

Entre las categorías de análisis referidas a partir de lo expresado por las autoras Núñez & Crespo (1999), es posible distinguir tres tipos de saberes distintos: Objetivos de Lectura (distinción entre lectura superficial y lectura comprensiva de lectura; distinción entre lectura por estudio y lectura por entretención y distinción entre comprender y memorizar). Estrategias Cognitivas y Metacognitivas (Definición de información más importante de un texto, estrategias para identificar las ideas centrales, estrategias para organizar las ideas importantes, estrategias para enfrentar un problema de comprensión y estrategias para evaluar el éxito en la tarea) y experiencias metacognitivas, (Experiencias relacionadas con la sensación de comprender, experiencias relacionadas con la sensación de no comprender una idea del texto, factores que intervienen en la definición de un texto de fácil lectura y factores que intervienen en la definición de un texto de lectura difícil).
Creación de ventaja competitiva a través de la caracterización de intangibles
Authors: Ledezma Castro Jeniffer
Published: December 2023

La gestión de intangibles le permite a una organización convertir activos intangibles en elementos diferenciadores que le otorgan una posición superior frente a su competencia. Al identificar y fortalecer cada una de las variables, se tiene una cohesión entre los hechos y las palabras y que los directivos gestionen en igualdad de condiciones activos intangibles como tangibles.

El presente artículo toma como referencia el Modelo Intellectus (Bueno, 2003) y presenta una caracterización de la gestión de intangibles: capital humano, estructural (organizativo y tecnológico), relacional (negocio y social) de una PYME del sector droguerías en Popayán (Cauca). La metodología empleada es una investigación de corte transversal y de tipo mixto al usar herramientas de recolección como la entrevista, cuestionario, encuesta y análisis de documentos internos de la organización.

La PYME gestiona su capital intangible con el mismo interés que lo hace con sus activos tangibles. Tiene una fuerte cultura organizacional y la percepción de sus colaboradores es de que la empresa es un buen lugar para trabajar, y se requiere la re elaboración de procedimientos y la mejora de las condiciones laborales. Se recomienda que los objetivos del plan estratégico se integren a un modelo de gestión del capital intelectual que permita seguir construyendo ventaja competitiva en el sector.

ՍԱՀՄԱՆԱԴՐԱԿԱՆ ԱՐԺԵԲԱՆՈՒԹՅԱՆ ՀԱՍԿԱՑՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ / THE CONCEPT OF CONSTITUTIONAL AXIOLOGY
Authors: Shahnazaryan Norik
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the disclosure and resolution of issues related to the
concept of constitutional axiology through a comprehensive, in particular,
comparative legal analysis. In modern constitutional developments, particular
importance is attached to the disclosure of the content and perception of the
Constitution, as well as the fundamental constitutional values and principles
prescribed therein, as well as their transformation into a rule of real life,
which ultimately should contribute to the establishment and formation of
constitutionalism in the country. In recent decades, constitutional axiology
has had a special place in the agendas of a number of international
conferences, and it has become the subject of scientific research, and the
works devoted to it have been published in the form of books, journals and
collections of scientific articles.
The subject of the study was the essence and content of the Constitution. In
jurisprudence, axiology was formed and developed as a legal axiology, the
subject area and main topic of which are the issues of perception and
interpretation of law as a value. The qualification of the Constitution and the
fundamental principles contained therein as values became the basis for the
formation of constitutional axiology within the framework of the science of
constitutional law as an independent scientific direction.

Published: December 2023

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the community have been felt globally and studies on transformation based on initiatives from local knowledge and culture are limited. This paper profoundly analyses how communities in Bali’s urban areas can build resilience amid the COVID-19 crisis through local initiatives. This paper uses reflections from systematic literature reviews that are supported by qualitative in-depth interviews with 20 informants on community resilience in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in Kuta and Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. We found that the urban community can learn from vulnerabilities and risks and then develop initiatives based on local knowledge, culture, or wisdom combined with information provided by the central or local authority. Cases of local initiatives in urban communities show that collective action arises due to social learning. The result is enhanced understanding, knowledge, and strengthened social interaction within the community to support community resilience in facing similar disasters.

Authors: He Jingfan , Gao Biao , Razi Aishah Hj Mohammad
Published: December 2023

In the post-epidemic era, the employment situation has become increasingly serious, and job-hunting reality shows have innovated significantly to meet the current market demand. Given the diverse nature of the live context involved in these programs, it is crucial for the hosts to possess strong improvisational speech skills. However, some hosts struggle to effectively handle the various scenarios presented in the program, leading to ineffective communication. Therefore, this study focuses on the TV show “It’s You” as the research corpus and employs discourse control acts theory, discourse analysis, and descriptive statistics to examine the patterns of impromptu speech initiation by the hosts of this job-seeking reality show. In this study, the job-hunting reality show is divided into three stages, with the second stage, known as the multiple interaction stage, chosen as the focus of the analysis. Within this stage, two situational contexts are identified and a total of seven initiation words and twelve initiation sentences are summarized. Furthermore, quantitative statistics are conducted by considering the initiation object and initiation position. Based on the findings, two distinct expression patterns are identified: the suit deepening + derivative penetration + intersectional embedding mode, and the continuity + insertion jump + homeopathic deepening mode.

Published: December 2023

The current research examines the impact of climate change on Pakistan (social, economic & environmental) and proposed solutions from existing literature. For this purpose, the qualitative research design was adopted, and literature has been taken from the last ten years' papers, articles, reports, and books. However, for the analysis of impacts, the most recent year-2023 literature has been taken from international journals. The result was divided into a total of four themes: a) social, b) economic, c) environmental impacts, and d) mitigation strategies for climate change in Pakistan. Results and findings showed that climate change has negatively affected the social, economic, and environmental well-being of the people of Pakistan, especially, people who are associated with agriculture and livestock. Frequent droughts, urban flooding, land-sliding, cyclones, earth-quick, etc., not only disturb social life but also have several negative economic implications such as decreases the per capita income, loss of Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and food security and safety. Though, Pakistan, being a developing country, has signed many agreements with international organizations like United Nations (UN), World Bank (WB), etc to overcome the negative effects of climate change. Despite strategies and efforts, still Pakistan has failed to achieve its targets due to a lack of funds, political disinterest, lack of awareness among common people about climate change, and administrative inefficiencies as well. The political and administrative seriousness about climate change can make the possible outcomes to overcome the inverse implications of climate change in Pakistan.

This research aims to delves the problem of resistance and exclusion research experienced by Shia groups carried out by other religious movements and local governments. Through qualitative interviews some figures from Shia, anti-Shia, and local governments who issued regulations banning Shia. The findings of this research show that resistance and persecution carried out by anti-Shia groups are carried out through attacks to sabotage the Shia groups' religious activities, especially the commemoration of Ashura. Discrimination against Shia groups in South Sulawesi also involved government officials supporting the anti-Shia movement. A circular letter containing an appeal to be wary of Shia groups was issued by the South Sulawesi Provincial Government in 2017, Makassar (2019), Gowa (2019), and Parepare (2021). Resistance and exclusion of Shia groups in South Sulawesi have implications for the non-freedom of Shia groups to publicly declare their religious identity. Several Shia adherents eventually chose the path of taqiyah because social conditions were not conducive to the existence of Shia groups.

A brand offers its customers a certain value. Services are all that customers desire to use and take pleasure in. In the fish feed industry, brand awareness plays a varied role in developing a better level of consumer loyalty. As the industry leader, Cherish Feed uses a variety of brand-building strategies to raise consumer awareness, but these strategies don't always let them reap the many advantages of complete customer loyalty. However, the study's goal was to determine how brand awareness affected customers' loyalty to Cherish Feed Company. With the help of a five-point Likert scale, all 150 participants in the study who were selected using stratified sampling were polled. Statistical tools like multiple regression analysis and factor analysis were used to analyze the data. Nine brand awareness-boosting factors, including brand name, logo, character, product variety, communication, availability, event, promotional merchandise, and trade show, were broken down into three categories by the study: "Brand Recognition Elements," "Brand Exposure Builders," and "Marketing Programs." The results also indicate that "marketing programs" had the biggest impact on brand recognition out of these three variables. Regression analysis revealed a high degree of positive association between brand awareness building variables and customer loyalty. The most significant factors influencing customer loyalty are the ability to recognize brand attributes such as name, slogan, and character, as well as affordability with price and participation in Igloo-sponsored events. In the end, recommendations were made that, if implemented by Cherish Feed management, will guarantee increased client loyalty.
