Governments and its citizens contribute enormously to the electronic waste problem in relation to the consumption and its generation posing serious threat to the management of wastes. Uganda government is yet to enact an Extended Producer Responsibility related laws within their national legislations to manage E-waste effectively. The paper aims to examine the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system critical success factors based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and consider ecological design concept as a potential extension of the TPB in promoting sustainable electronic waste management. The survey questionnaires were administered to expert environmental-oriented government employees. Data was analysed by means of the Partial-LeastSquares Structural-Equation-Modelling. The findings demonstrate that the developed conceptual framework explain 52.4% variance in the intentions to participate and practice EPR systems, thus reflecting a good explanatory power while confirming the model robustness. The results illustrate all TPB constructs of attitude, intentions, perceived behavioral control and subjective norm, towards EPR schemes have significant positive effect on the outcome of sustainable E-waste management. Exceptionally, it indicates ecological design is the most influential predictor of sustainable E-waste management for implementation of EPR systems. Building on the study results, for proper electronic waste management programs deployment, and successful implementation of EPR systems, developing countries should target the TPB constructs, and ecological design as an extension factor. As policy implication, government should emphasize the nurturing of good ecological design behavior of organizations and also encourage effort toward green actions taken through penalties and incentives and by laws and regulations.

Published: July 2023

The present investigation was carried out to study the variations of the physicochemical properties and primary nutrient parameters of Chandubi Lake, a tectonic lake. Water quality parameters such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, pH, total hardness, total alkalinity, total carbon, bicarbonate ion and primary nutrients nitrate, orthophosphate and potassium were estimated. The study revealed low levels of total hardness and total alkalinity which is unique in the present investigation for the state of Assam. The presence of free carbon dioxide was recorded throughout the study period indicating the absence of carbonate alkalinity in all zones of Chandubi Lake. The investigation also revealed that the nutrient input in Chandubi Lake is of autochthonous origin. ANOVA (p = 0.05) revealed that there were significant difference in water quality parameters dissolved oxygen (DO), total carbon dioxide (CO2), total hardness (TH) and primary nutrient orthophosphate among the studied zones. The Pearson correlation (p = 0.05) showed that, water temperature has a negative correlation with DO (r = - 0.72), pH (r = - 0.64), dissolved oxygen (DO) has a negative correlation with free carbon dioxide (FCO2) (r = -0.91) and potassium (K) (r = - 0.86), while having a positive correlation with nitrate (NO3) (r = 0.71) and free carbon dioxide (FCO2) having a negative correlation with pH ( r = - 0.90). The overall water quality condition was found to be excellent, which was evident from WQI (< 25%).

Authors: SAHINA S. , ESAKKIAMMAL B.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are the heamatophages arthropods and an important disease causing ectoparasites of animals and Human. Ticks are primarily controlled by the application of chemical acaricides, though tick populations control has not been achieved adequately. The objective of this present study is to appraise the acaricidal and repellent efficiency of Nicotiana tabacum and Lawsonia inermis extracts using different solvents against H. bispinosa.

Methods: The leaves of N. tabacum as well as leaves and seeds of L. inermis were extracted by soxhlet apparatus with five solvents. The active compounds were analyzed by GC MS analysis. A stock solution of plant extracts was prepared in Dimethyl Sulpho Oxide and the subsequent concentrations of 5, 10.15, 20 and 25 mg/ml for acaricidal and 0.5, 1, 1.5,2, and 2.5 mg/ml for repellency bioassay were used as working concentration.

Findings: Among the tested extracts, the methanolic and ethanolic extract of both the plants showed the highest activity against ticks. The percent larval tick mortality of N. tabacum and L. inermis varied from 46.9 % to 96.5%, at higher concentration of 25 mg/ml.The repellencies observed in extracts of N. tabacum leaf ranged from the lowest 0.5 mg/ml (31.9%) to the highest 2.5 mg/ml (99%) concentration.

Conclusion: The results obtained from the study highlighted the ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Nicotiana tabacum and Lawsonia inermis plant products may be used as an alternative to synthetic anti-tick products.

Published: July 2023

The present study was aimed to describe the length weight relationship and condition factor of a study on Length weight Relationship of Channa punctatus (Bloch) [1] from the Gadadhar river at Coochbehar District, West Bengal, India. In this study, a total of 25 fish specimen comprises of Channa punctatus ranged from 9.3 cm to 14.2 cm in length and 5.12 gm to 19.3 gm in weight were studied. The entire length weight data were analyzed by least square method. The corresponding parabolic representation is w=0.0086413L2.90374 The computed b value (b=2.90374) of the species is not significantly different from the expected value '3' and hence the cube law W=aLb hold good in the case of Channa punctatus. In the species, there is a strong positive relationship between length and weight. The sampling areas were chosen to be spatially and geographically diverse, as well as to have varying environmental conditions. A true relationship was observed between an animal's length and weight. In general, fishes' growth patterns follow the cube laws. When the growth of the fish is isometric, such a relationship will be valid. The value of condition factor (K) was found to be more than 1* in the population of the fish indicated good condition of fish in the Gadadhar river, WestBengal, India (K=1.00308).

Published: July 2023

Urban expansion is widespread in most developing countries while the nearby farmland area coverage is shrinking which in turn attracting the attention of many actors to manage the encroachment scientifically. This study aims to analyze the urban land use and land cover change in Hossana town using geospatial techniques. Three Landsat images were used and analyzed using ArcMap 10.5. The images were classified and reclassified into six land use classes. The result showed visible land cover change and a high rate of town expansion in the study area. The forest area surrounding the town and bareland decreased from 5702 (48.8 %) to 1515 ha (12.97 %) and from 2224.3 ha (19.1%) to 226.2 ha (1.94 %) from 1986 to 2019 whereas farmland and built-up areas increased rapidly from 3078 ha (26.4%) to 5599.5 ha (47.95%) and from 141.1 (1.2%) to 3581.4 ha (30.67%) in the study period, respectively. Thus, the land cover change result for the built-up area has eventually expanded through the study period. In contrary, the land cover under forest, water, bareland, open area (greenery) and farmland have shown tremendous decrease within the last three decades, respectively. The expansion of farmland and settlement areas implies high population inflow to the urban area from the rural and fringe areas. Thus, the settlement pattern and land use shall be governed by well-planned policies to manage rapid population growth and migration from rural areas which causes poor land management and illegal housing. The application of geospatial techniques are mandatory tools to analyze the spatio-temporal changes in urban areas.

5 - Les causes des violences ethniques contemporaines dans l’Afrique des Grands Lacs : une analyse historique et socio-politique
Authors: Joseph Gahama
Published: July 2023

Treize ans après, tout le monde a encore en mémoire le génocide des Tutsi qui a eu lieu au Rwanda en 1994. On se souvient également des terribles violences à caractère ethnique qui ont secoué le Burundi en octobre 1993 après l’assassinat du Président Melchior Ndadaye et qui ont entraîné plusieurs milliers de morts et paralysé totalement les institutions étatiques. La chute de Mobutu au Congo en 1996 n’a été possible qu’après « une guerre de libération » dont on perçoit aisément des mobiles ethnico-politiques.
Contrairement aux idées largement propagées par les médias à sensation, toutes ces tragédies ne se sont pas produites spontanément : elles ne relèvent pas simplement des antagonismes ancestraux qui surgissent périodiquement. Elles ont des causes facilement identifiables qui s’enracinent dans un passé relativement récent. Cependant, elles conduisent toutes à un constat amer : les élites successives qui ont dirigé la région des Grands Lacs depuis les indépendances ont choisi délibérément d’accentuer les clivages ethniques des pays concernés, de marginaliser et d’exclure après avoir déshumanisé ceux qui n’étaient pas au pouvoir en légitiment le recours à la violence. La culture de l’impunité devint un élément central durant ce processus.
En s’appuyant sur les cas concrets du Rwanda, du Burundi et de l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo, en utilisant une méthodologie qui emprunte à la fois à la rétrospective historique et à la sociologie politique, cette contribu- tion voudrait mettre en exergue les principales causes des violences ethniques contemporaines dans ces pays.
De manière concrète, il s’agira d’analyser successivement la place et la na- ture des élites dans la manipulation politique des groupes ethniques, les problèmes structurels du sous-développement, les facteurs psychologiques des conflits, la dégradation des valeurs socio-culturelles, la dimension régionale des violences et le rôle de la communauté internationale.
1 - Musique et danse chez les Haratin de Mauritanie : Conscience identitaire et/ou dissidence culturelle ?
Authors: Abderrahmane Ngaïde
Published: July 2023

La Mauritanie est un pays à mi-chemin entre l’Afrique au sud du Sahara et l’Afrique dite « blanche ».1 Elle a été une terre de rencontres et de négociation des cultures. Elle a engendré de nouvelles formes de sociabilités qui ont donné naissance à une culture hybride dont la richesse reste mal connue. Celle des Haratin demeure étouffée du fait de plusieurs paramètres qui tiennent au fondement hiérarchique de la société maure.2 Les peuples noirs, trouvés sur place ou capturés après les razzias, ont été réduits en esclavage et assimilés à la culture arabe. Ils gardent en eux des traits caractéristiques d’une culture enfouie qui s’exprime à travers leur genre musical qui s’apparente, sans exagération, au gospel américain. Cette contribution va trier, structurer les sons et définir les gémissements d’un désir de liberté et d’un sens de l’honneur enfouis dans le medh (chants panégyriques dédiés au Prophète de l’islam) et le redh, qui se décline comme une danse ponctuée de chants sur fond de tam-tam. S’agit-il d’une expression de loisir ou d’un canon de production culturelle, d’une propension forte pour la liberté, d’un désir intense d’intégration à la société d’accueil ou d’une simple volonté de jouir des délices annoncés du Paradis et promis aux fidèles ?

5 - Colonial Encounters: A Danish Planter in German East Africa
Authors: Marianne Rostgaard
Published: July 2023

In 1888, Christian Lautherborn set out to establish a cotton plantation for the German East Africa Company in Pangani, Tanzania. Little did he know that he was heading out at a dramatic moment, and would soon (literally) be caught in the crossfire of a war between the coastal Africans, the Zanzibar government and German imperialist interventions. While in Tanzania, Lautherborn wrote a series of letters, some published in a local Danish newspaper and some written privately to familyA substantial number of Christian Lautherborn’s letters home were printed in a newspaper, Vendsyssel Tidende, as ‘Letters from our correspondent in German East Africa’. This article will take its point of departure in the analysis of differences between what may be termed the ‘public’ and the ‘private’ discourses in the letters. Parts of the letters may be read as a contribution to the formation of a colonial discourse in Denmark/Europe. Here one finds a number of familiar stereotypes about Africa and Africans. On the other hand, some of the letters, often eyewitness accounts of incidents that diverge from the common colonial discourse, suggest very different interpretations. The letters may thus be read both as a way of negotiating African experiences and European expectations and also as evidence of cultural adaptation and hybridity.
The paper will therefore comment on discrepancies between common stereotypes present in the letters about the African’s childishness, laziness etc. and Christian Lautherborn’s actions as a plantation manager and member of colonial society. A careful reading of Lautherborn’s letters a so reveals a number of contradictions between what he says and what he does.
8 - Colonial Economic Disempowerment and the Responses of the Hlengwe Peasantry of the South East Lowveld of Zimbabwe: 1890-1965
Authors: Taderera Hebert Chisi
Published: July 2023

Much has been written on how colonialists economically incapacitated Africans through wrestling control of the means of production from them. Some studies have also looked at how various Africans responded to the new order. In the British territory of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) the economic disempowerment of the Africans was through land alienation. However, the areas which have received much of the coverage on the subject in the country are Matabeleland and Mashonaland on the highveld. Given the economic attractiveness of these two areas to the colonialists and the resistance that the Ndebele and Shona in these areas offered, the overshadowing of peripheral areas such as the S.E. Lowveld, home to the Hlengwe is understandable. However, though the Hlengwe have attracted little more than an occasional passing reference in many studies, they were not spared from the colonial experience, especially the oppression, exploitation and economic disempowerment which other African groups experienced. Therefore, this paper is primarily concerned with filling the gap created by the seeming lack of interest in the history of the Hlengwe. Information on Hlengwe colonial history was collected and compiled through oral interviews and a thorough study of archival materials and written sources,. The paper thus establishes that the loss of land led to the loss of economic independence by the Hlengwe peasantry whose main economic activities were land-based and that this same loss resulted in the Hlengwe people responding in diverse ways to the new colonial order. It goes on to explore the dynamics and variations of the Hlengwe response to colonial rule and exploitation. Most importantly, it establishes that contrary to what the Native Commissioners said, the Hlengwe were a warlike people. The paper reveals that as they were integrated more into the orbit of colonial rule and felt its squeeze, they became more aggressive.

6 - Affirmation d’une identité afro-portugaise et éducation en Casamance fin du XIXe siècle début XXe siècle.
Authors: Céline Labrune-Badiane
Published: July 2023

L’histoire des Afro-portugais s’inscrit dans l’espace sénégambien au moment de l’arrivée des Portugais au XVe siècle et plus spécifiquement en Casamance au XVIIè siècle. L’identité de ces métis se construit dans leurs relations successives avec les Africains, les Portugais et les Français. Les Afro-portugais créent une société originale et consolident leurs liens en constituant des réseaux économiques et en mettant en œuvre des stratégies sociales et éducatives spécifiques. Les
« Portugais » de Ziguinchor envoient leurs enfants dans les écoles locales ouvertes par les missionnaires ou en Europe. Réinvestissant le projet français d’assimilation par l’école à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, les « Portugais » de Ziguinchor continuent longtemps à revendiquer leur origine européenne. Du fait de leur faiblesse numérique, malgré leur relative réussite sociale, ils perdent progressivement le pouvoir tant sur le plan politique qu’économique, sont marginalisés dans le Sénégal post-colonial centralisé sur Dakar.

Authors: Henry Kam Kah
Published: July 2023

Camwood exploitation and use played an important role in the political economy of the Cross and Manyu river basin of Cameroon and Nigeria including some hinterland communities throughout the era of British administration which spanned 1916-1961. The British occasionally intervened to end its unrestricted exploitation and regulated its commercialisation for the local and external market. In spite of their laborious effort in this direction, Camwood exploitation continued for various internal and external uses.

6 - Les petites Suzette aux colonies. La Semaine de Suzette et la culture coloniale pendant l’entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Alain Tirefort
Published: July 2023

La Semaine de Suzette, hebdomadaire destiné aux enfants, qui plus est aux jeu- nes filles, paraît pour la première fois en 1905. Fondant son succès sur la qualité de ses textes, sur ses rubriques variées, et sur l’image, La Semaine de Suzette doit sa célébrité entre autres aux aventures de Bécassine, la petite bretonne des- sinée par Joseph Pinchon sur scénario de Caumery.
Comme les manuels scolaires ont modelé l’esprit des écoliers français de la Troisième République, en diffusant un message patriotique et colonial, la litté- rature de jeunesse participe à sa manière à l’imaginaire colonial. Il est donc intéressant d’appréhender comment ce «joli journal» illustré, bourgeois et ca- tholique, a oeuvré pour ancrer dans les jeunes mentalités la conscience de «la plus grande France». Plus particulièrement comment les représentations des Afri- cains et des Asiatiques ont été véhiculées auprès d’un public de fillettes?
La Semaine de Suzette–1905/1960–reflète-t-elle une idéologie fondée sur la conviction de la supériorité européenne? Fait-elle rêver d’aventures «exotiques» et de l’Empire? Produit-elle des discours—textes et images—identiques à ceux que délivre au même moment la presse enfantine masculine?

Evaluation of the creditability of forensic tests through competency tests
Authors: Corneliu-Florian BERCARU , Nicoleta Adaciza IONESCU
Published: July 2023

The paper aims to evaluate a round of Competence Tests with qualitative results (non-destructive tests) in the field of classical forensics. The purpose of organizing the competency test rounds is to evaluate the performance of the forensic laboratories.
The performance of the laboratories is estimated by the statistical evaluation of the results obtained by each participant. In this particular case, the assignment of the values of the competence test objects (CTO) was carried out by the group of experts, and the Competence Test Scheme (CTS) was of the simultaneous participation type; also, the group of experts established the performance evaluation criteria. The results obtained by the participants were satisfactory.
Implications of Macrophyte Distribution Patterns in the Curonian Lagoon for Monitoring of Submerged Vegetation in Transitional Water Bodies

For the implementation of the Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, numerous indicators based on macrophytes have been developed in coastal and shelf zones. However, transitional water bodies (e.g., estuaries, lagoons) have multiple overlaying strong environmental gradients that limit the assessment of the relationships between macrophyte ecological patterns and anthropogenic pressures. The aim of this study was to assess the abundance and distribution of macrophytes in the Curonian Lagoon and to analyze the spatial patterns of macrophyte species considering their morphofunctional properties (i.e., community surface index, which is the sum of the ratios between the specific surface of thallus structure elements and biomass of each macrophyte species in a sampling site) in relation to environmental factors, such as Secchi depth, salinity, wave exposure and area of wetlands. In the estuarine part of the Curonian Lagoon, the sampling of macrophytes was carried out in 2014–2015. Data on hydro-physical parameters were obtained from the water monitoring and hydrological model, while the CORINE data were used for the delineation of wetlands. The species diversity in the studied part of the Curonian Lagoon consisted 12 species (7 of them belong to phylum Chlorophyta and 5 to Magnoliophyta). From dominant algae, Chara contraria and Chara aspera mainly occurred along the northeastern part of the study area, whereas Cladophora glomerata mainly grew as epiphyte along the eastern shore of the lagoon. From dominant angiosperms, Potamogeton perfoliatus and Stuckenia pectinata occurred in the whole study area, while Myriophyllum spicatum rarely formed dense stands and usually was within the stands of charophytes or pondweeds. The salinity was the most important environmental factor, where the relative coverage of Zannichellia palustris, Potamogeton rutilus and all algae species, except Nitellopsis obtusa, correlated with salinity. The Secchi depth was of less importance and correlated with the relative coverage of N. obtusa, while a negative correlation was determined for S. pectinata. The mean community surface index depended on the depth gradient where it was significantly higher at ≤ 1.0 m depth than at 1.1–2.0 m depth. The community surface index significantly negatively correlated (the Spearman rS = −0.65) with the area of wetlands, which surrounded the eastern shore of the study area. Therefore, the tested morphofunctional index has a potential to define the ecological status considering macrophyte communities in the transitional water bodies.
Arquitectes-cartògrafs : els mapes del fons de la Llotja (1815-1896)
Authors: Nadal Piqué Francesc , Montaner Garcia Maria Carme
Published: July 2023

Catàleg de la col·lecció única de mapes manuscrits del segle XIX que es troben a l'Arxiu Gràfic de l'Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona de la UPC i que provenen dels fons de la Llotja. Aquests documents, creats per arquitectes, mestres d'obres i agrimensors, ofereixen una visió excepcional de les tècniques cartogràfiques emprades a l'època. Els mapes més antics daten de la dècada de 1810, quan la classe d'Arquitectura va començar les seves activitats, mentre que els més recents són del final del segle XIX, quan ja funcionava l'Escola Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona. Aquesta col·lecció és un testimoni crucial del procés d'institucionalització de l'ensenyament de l'arquitectura a Barcelona i la seva relació estreta amb la cartografia a Catalunya. La catalogació dels mapes i la recerca sobre la col·lecció que han dut a terme els autors revelen el seu origen i ajuden a entendre la finalitat i el context en què aquests mapes es van elaborar. Gràcies a la vinculació entre els agrimensors i l’Escola de la Llotja, especialment amb Elies Rogent i Amat (1821-1897), professor d’Agrimensura i primer director de l’Escola d’Arquitectura de Barcelona (1875), ara sabem que aquests documents van arribar a l’Arxiu gràcies a la seva intercessió, amb la finalitat d'utilitzar-los com a material docent.

Published: July 2023

The menstrual cycle is ideally regular every month, and this menstrual cycle normally occurs in the period of 21-35 days and usually lasts for 2-7 days. This menstrual cycle affects many things, including stress levels. This stress or stressor can occur, such as increased learning activity in adolescents which affects psychological factors and with this will also affect the menstrual cycle in adolescents. At the beginning of the period leading up to menstruation, women are more likely to get angry easily, cry easily for no reason or easily feel sad. This condition can sometimes make women feel uncomfortable and less enthusiastic about their activities. The purpose of writing this paper is to determine the relationship between stress levels and the menstrual cycle in adolescents.
