A Study of Edge Computing and its Impact on Network Services in Nigeria
Authors: Faruq Hayatu Umar , Hui Dr. Wang
Published: February 2023

Abstract: Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm where client data is processed as close as feasible to the source at the network's edge in the twenty first century, Due to the rapid growth in the amount of data exchanged globally especially in smart city applications like autonomous vehicles. In Nigeria a lot might have experienced a slight lag now and then when watching a sporting event live in Nigeria, It can be a little unpleasant when a player's video freezes right before he is about to shoot and then resumes to show him celebrating with his teammates and also most of the Nigerians pictures themself driving a self driving vehicle through a hill's winding curves. they most likely would feel much more than just dissatisfaction if the car turned away from a cliff's edge a second too slowly, They may feel a little on edge in each situation to varied degrees. However, both of these scenarios are possible due to a phenomenon known as "latency," which to that advancements in this area can hasten the economic progress of a country. In this case, this review article is focused on highlighting the study of edge computing and the key attributes of Edge computing that can be used to address emerging markets use cases, the impact, the crises of network service on businesses in Nigeria, and most recent trends on edge computing in the research field.

Authors: Gupta Sushan , Wiarda Karen
Published: February 2023

Background: A plant-based diet is associated with lower cardiovascular disease and mortality incidence. This article reports a case of a post coronary artery bypass graft, morbidly obese, uncontrolled diabetic patient who was able to reduce weight, reduce blood pressure medications, and come off insulin with a strictly plant-based diet.
Case report: A 61-year-old man was seen in follow-up post coronary artery bypass grafting. He had a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, morbid obesity, coronary artery disease post-stenting in 2000, and heart failure preserved ejection fraction. Post-discharge, he felt tired, had gained 7 lb with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 10% on high-dose insulin, and had uncontrolled hypertension on amlodipine, bumetanide, and carvedilol. He was started on a strictly plant-based diet. He was compliant on subsequent visits. At six months follow-up, he had excellent blood pressure and glucose control. He was able to come off amlodipine, bumetanide, and insulin completely. He lost 70 lb and was more active.
Discussion: A plant-based diet effectively reduces obesity, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and heart disease. Epidemiological studies have shown lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality with a plant-based diet.
Conclusion: A whole food, plant-based diet should be recommended to prevent and control cardiovascular risk factors and overall cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Neural processes underlying faking and concealing a personal identity: An electroencephalogram study
Authors: Zhang Pengcheng , Yan Lingyue , Wang Qiangqiang
Published: February 2023

The detection of lies told about one's identity challenges traditional methods considering characteristics of the lie. This study explored the neural activities underlying identity deception by using electroencephalogram recordings to promote the development of a detection tool. The
participants (N = 18) were required to tell a lie or the truth about true and false identity information with the differentiation of deception paradigm. The results showed deceptive (vs. honest) responses to true identity information were associated with a prolonged reaction time and
enhanced upper alpha oscillations as well as the attenuated P300 and theta activities, which indicates identity concealment engaged portent honest response control and reduced processing of self-relevant information. By contrast, deceptive (vs. honest) responses to false identity information
were associated with absent reaction time cost and decreased alpha activities, which suggests identity faking involved low cognitive conflict but required some degree of behavioral regulation.

Enzymes, especially pectinase, plays an important role in the processing of tea that determines the quality and the color appearance of black tea. The main obstacle encountered in the application of enzymes in food processing in general, and in particular in the processing of black tea is the price of commercial enzyme that are still very expenÂ­sive, because it is still imported. Indonesia has a high fungal diversitythat is potential as producer of commercial pectinase enzyme. To reduce the cost of production, fermentation was done using solid waste of plantation that rich of pectin content such as cocoa pod husk that has not been optimally utilized. The research aimed to develop the production technology for pectinase enzymes of fungi through solid substrate fermentation for applications in the processing of CTC black tea. Research includes the isolation and selection of local superior fungi producing enzymes pectinase, optimizaÂ­tion of enzyme production by fungi isolates were selected through a solid substrate fermenÂ­tation using cocoa pod husk waste, production optimization included optimization of fermenÂ­tation time and substrate composition, enzyme extraction of fermented substrate, and appliÂ­cation of pectinase enzyme extracts in the processing of CTC black tea and sensory test of fermented tea. The results showed that it has been obtained isolates of Aspergillus niger on Pectinase Screening Agar Medium (PSAM) which was capable of producing pectinase enzyme on growing media of mix cocoa pod husk and rice bran with additional of enrichment media. The optimum conditions of pectinase production was obtained in the composition of cacao pod husk: rice bran (80:20 w/w) plus enrichment media, the incubation time of 9 days, which produced pectinase activity of 125 U/mL. Applications of pectinase on enzymatic oxidation of CTC tea proved that it was capable of raising the quality of the tea flavor, though the tea gradedid not change.
Polijas–Lietuvas (Žečpospoļitas) Inflantijas vojevodistes (1677–1772) nodokļu un ienākumu jautājums

Raksta mērķis ir, balstoties uz pieejamajiem publicētiem un nepublicētiem materiāliem, izsekot nodokļu politikas attīstībai un tās efektivitātei Inflantijā. Šis jautājums ir cieši saistīts ar vietējās muižniecības jeb šļahtas reālajiem ienākumiem un vojevodistes potenciālu kopumā. Šļahta faktiski kontrolēja, cik lieli nodokļi tai jāmaksā, tādējādi slēpjot īstos ienākumus. Tomēr pēc Staņislava Augusta kāpšanas Žečpospoļitas tronī 1764. gadā notika finanšu reformas, un šajā procesā piedalījās arī vietējie Inflantijas šļahtas pārstāvji, tā nodrošinot patiesāku informāciju par Inflantijas potenciālu. Līdz ar Polijas pirmo dalīšanu (1772. gadā) jaunā Krievijas vara veica īpašumu lustrāciju, sniedzot visprecīzāko priekšstatu par 18. gadsimta Inflantiju un norādot, ka, iespējams, tā ir bijusi turīgāka, nekā uzrādīja maksājamie nodokļi. No vienas puses, Inflantija 18. gadsimtā bija militāri neaizsargāta, gadsimta sākumā cietusi karos, no otras puses, tā bija demogrāfiski plaukstoša province ar nelielu šļahtas slāni, kur preču tranzīts, kroģēšana un zemes iznomāšana bija nozīmīgs ienākumu avots.

Toward Effective Identification of FASD
Authors: McLachlan Kaitlyn , Dunleavy Bianka , Grubb Melissa
Published: February 2023

The need to improve identification and understanding of individuals who have fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), including their strengths and challenges, is being increasingly recognized. Identification of FASD via screening is an important system-level intervention that may serve to improve early and accurate recognition of individuals who may have FASD, facilitate the provision of appropriately tailored support and interventions, and in doing so, foster healthy and positive outcomes for individuals and families. Effective and ethical implementation of FASD screening practices requires consideration of several factors for success, ensuring that resulting benefits outweigh potential harms. Using an implementation science framework, this topical review aims to provide an overview of these key considerations in order to guide further research and support practice and decision-making for service providers, organizations, and policy makers in the implementation of FASD identification and screening practices. These include prioritizing partnerships with stakeholders; taking a person-centered and ethical approach to FASD identification and screening; applying rigorous methodological research approaches to screening tool development, validation, and evaluation; increasing broader FASD awareness and response capacity at the system level; and advocating for continued policy reform and resources to enhance effective community-based support andinterventions following identification.
A Comparison of the Motor Skills of Young People in a Youth Detention Centre with Diagnosed Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Prenatal Alcohol Exposure, and a Reference Population
Authors: Safe Bernadette , Joosten Annette , Bower Carol , Condon Carmen , Watkins Rochelle , Mutch Raewyn , Giglia Roslyn
Published: February 2023

Materials and Methods: Participants completed the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2), Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) including its associated subtests, and a handwriting screen.

Results: Ninety-nine young people (n=47 PAE; n= 36 FASD) with a mean age of 16 years were assessed. There was an association between a FASD diagnosis and lower scores on the VMI (p=0.005). Participants with FASD and PAE had higher impairment levels on the VMI compared to the No-PAE group. Mean MABC-2 scores were within age expected levels across all groups. More fine motor skill difficulties were observed compared to gross motor skill difficulties. Handwriting skills were below age expected levels in 84% of participants. Those in the PAE and FASD groups had more difficulty with letter formations and spatial awareness.

Conclusions: Visual motor integration and handwriting skills were often impaired in this population. Lower VMI scores were more prevalent in participants diagnosed with FASD, and therefore should be routinely assessed as part of a diagnostic assessment. Assessment of fine and gross motor skills enabled recommendations for intervention support that address deficits and build upon strengths. Further research is needed to confirm these results using larger populations, and to investigate possible confounding factors associated with high VMI and handwriting difficulties in this population.

The role of customary law in the governance of sustainable agrarian culture in local communities
Authors: Handayani Emy , Suparno Suparno
Published: February 2023

Along with massive environmental damage due to an industrial-oriented economy, local wisdom, as a means of social control and shared values that guide the lives of local people, has become a bastion of environmental preservation that can maintain a balance between the needs of local life and the sustainability of the ecological environment. This study seeks to explore the role of customary law as local wisdom rooted in the community in protecting the environment based on the theories developed by Edwards et al. (1993) and Kiwfo et al. (2021) regarding local wisdom in agricultural sustainability. This study uses an empirical approach based on legal anthropology by observing the reality of the rituals of the Bekayaq Pataq Pare tradition, which is carried out jointly by traditional leaders and the Sasak people. The results show that indigenous people value natural products for economic intent and seek reciprocal respect for nature and glorify rice through the Bekayaq Pataq Pare tradition. In general, local wisdom is useful for local communities to balance the needs of safe and prosperous agriculture while preserving the environment
Generalized Filtered Lifting Line Theory for Arbitrary Chord Lengths and Application to Wind Turbine Blades
Authors: Martínez-Tossas Luis A. , Sakievich Philip , Churchfield Matt , Meneveau Charles
Published: February 2023

The filtered lifting line theory is an analytical approach to solving
the equations of flow subjected to body forces with a Gaussian
distribution, such as used in the actuator line model. In the original
formulation 1, the changes in chord length along the blade were assumed
to be small. This assumption can lead to errors in the induced
velocities predicted by the theory compared to full solutions of the
equations. In this work, we revisit the original derivation and provide
a more general formulation, that can account for significant changes in
chord along the blade. The revised formulation allows for applications
to wings with significant changes in chord along the span, such as wind
turbine blades.
GENERALIZED INTEGRAL TYPE HILBERT OPERATOR ACTING BETWEEN WEIGHTED BLOCH SPACE
Authors: TANG PENGCHENG , ZHANG XUEJUN
Published: February 2023

Let µ be a finite Borel measure on [0 ,1). In this
paper, we consider the generalized integral type Hilbert operator I µ α
+ 1 ( f ) ( z ) = ∫ 0 1 f ( t ) ( 1 − tz ) α + 1 d µ ( t ) ( α
> − 1 ) . The operator I µ 1 has been extensively studied
recently. The aim of this paper is to study the boundedness(resp.
compactness) of I µ α + 1 acting from the normal weight Bloch space into
another of the same kind. As consequences of our study, we get
completely results for the boundedness of I µ α + 1 acting between Bloch
type spaces, logarithmic Bloch spaces among others.
From Human Acculturation to Brand Acculturation: A Phenomenological perspective of University Students of Pakistan
Authors: Shah Qasim Ali , Anwer Naveed , Qazi Asim , Shah Juned Ali
Published: February 2023

Culture plays a crucial role in determining the success or failure of a brand in a particular market. Despite having workable marketing plans, several brands fail globally due to the lack of cultural considerations in their marketing strategies and programs. The acculturation concept has been studied in the context of consumers, marketplaces, and marketers. Past research rarely explores acculturation in global brands. There is an evident lack of concrete models and theories that provide guidelines on how a brand should go for acculturation. Informed by the research gap and following the brand anthropomorphic consideration, this research investigates if brands follow human acculturation patterns in cultures other than the country of their origin (COO). The phenomenological study based on the interviews of 24 students having international consumption experience was conducted in Pakistan along with some case studies of global brands. The result of in-depth interviews followed by thematic content analysis identifies four brand acculturation strategies: integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization, which can be leveraged to develop brand positioning based on the nature and characteristics of the global brands and the country of operations. The paper introduces the first-ever concept of brand acculturation and invites brand researchers to deepen their horizons further. The theoretical and managerial implications of the study are also discussed.

Published: February 2023

  

OBJECTIVE 

We investigated the efficacy of an integrated digital healthcare platform with artificial intelligence (AI)-based dietary management in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 

In this 48-week, open-label, randomized, multicenter clinical trial, overweight or obese adults with T2D were randomly assigned to one of three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: group A received routine diabetes care; group B used the digital integrated healthcare platform by themselves; and group C used the platform with feedback from medical staff and intermittently applied personal continuous glucose monitoring. The primary endpoint was the difference of change in HbA1c from baseline to 24 weeks between groups A and B while secondary endpoints included changes in HbA1c from baseline to 48 weeks, and changes in body weight during follow-up.

RESULTS 

A total of 294 participants were randomly assigned to group A (n=99), B (n=97), or C (n=98). The decreases in HbA1c from baseline to 24 and 48 weeks in group B (-0.32±0.58% to 24 weeks, -0.28±0.56% to 48 weeks) and group C (-0.49±0.57% to 24 weeks, -0.44±0.62% to 48 weeks) were significantly larger than those in group A (-0.06±0.61% to 24 weeks, 0.07±0.78% to 48 weeks). Groups B and C exhibited greater weight loss than group A from baseline to 24 weeks, and group C demonstrated more weight loss than group A from baseline to weeks 48. 

CONCLUSIONS

Among adults with T2D, use of an integrated digital healthcare platform with AI-driven dietary management resulted in better glycemia and more weight loss.

Published: February 2023

Banana peels are banana processing wastes that can be used as poultry feedstuff, but bacause of its high crude fiber content, so to reduce the high crude fiber content it need processing such as fermentation. Fermentation process requires soluble carbohydrates such as palm sap. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of different levels of palm sap as an additive on the nutrient composition of banana peels. An experimental method was used in this research with a completely randomized design consisted of five treatments and four replications. The five treatments were banana peel with 0%, 12,5%, 15%, 17,5% and 20% addition of palm sap. The parameters measured were dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, fat, and ash content. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that increasing levels of palm sap reduced the content of dry matter, crude fiber and crude fat, increased crude protein content, but it did not affect the ash content of banana peels. The use of 20% of palm sap produced the highest protein content and the lowest crude fiber content.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the nutrient composition of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MLM) from different location in East Nusa Tenggara Province (ENT). A total of 27 samples of MLM were obtained from Sikka, Timor Tengah Utara and Kupang Regency. The experiment was designed using a block randomized design with three treatments and three replications (three samples per replication). The results showed that location significantly (P<0.05 – 0.001) affected the dry matter (DM), crude lipid (CL)), crude fiber (CF), ash, phosphor (P), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), threonine, isoleucine,, leucine, serine, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine and proline contents of MLM. The DM, ash and CF of MLM from Kupang were lower (P<0.05) than those from two other locations. The location did not affect (P>0.05) the crude protein, gross energy, calcium and some amino acid contents of MLM.  The NDF of MLM from Sikka was lower (P<0.05) than those from Kupang and TTU. The concentration of P of MLM from Kupang and Sikka was higher (P<0.05) than that of TTU. In conclusion, the nutrients compositions of MLM were different according to the location where the plant grows. The MLM is rich in protein, Ca, good in amino acid profile and low in fiber content. Thus, the MLM is potential to be used as alternative protein source for poultry.

Aquaculture technology using Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) is basically a technology for fish farming by reusing water used in production. This technology is based on the use of mechanical and biological filters, and this method in principle can be used for all species cultivated in aquaculture such as fish, shrimp, shellfish and others. This study was carried out at Station for Investigation of Fish Health and Environment (LP2IL) Serang’s field test facility starting from June to November 2020 (110 days of sand lobster grow-out period). In this study, the RAS system used for grow-out of sand lobster uses a series of containers, compartments, tanks and equipment for water treatment with the following purification stages (1) sedimentation containers; (2) physical filtration; (3) biological filtration, (4) disinfection of water by UV irradiation, (5) removal of CO2, (6) clean water reservoirs and (7) tanks for grow-out of sand lobster. In this study, a series of tests were carried out on several biological activities parameters of sand lobster including growth weight and length, FCR, SR, molting and biomass, which were measured every two weeks during grow-out period. From the results of this study activity, it is found that the biological parameters of sand lobster grow-out with RAS is improving when compared to sand lobster grow-out in flow through water system (FT).

Spiny lobster (Panulirus penicillatus) is one of luxury seafood product that cultured in floating cage. There is no information about feeding rate of this species in particular feed with fresh mangrove snail meat. This study aimed to optimized level of feeding rate in spiny lobster during limited periods of cultured. Feeding rate of 10, 20 and 30% were used as treatments. Three floating cages with 120 individuals of pre-adult of spiny lobster was used. Sixty days of cultured periods with absolute growth, specific growth rate and survival rate were analysed to determined optimized growth rate. Results showed that 10% of feeding rate was supported highest absolute growth and specific growth rate compared to 20% and 30 % feeding rate. Moreover, all level of feeding rate can support 100 % of survival rate.  This study recommends feeding rate 10% is sufficient feed percentage per day that able to support culture performance of spiny lobster grow-out in floating cage.

This paper investigates the challenges of quality management system implementation in agribusiness in Guinea. We explore the issues encountered by the agribusiness managers in the Guinea Republic. In this study, the Delphi and AHP techniques are used to determine the problems the agri-food industries in Guinea face when setting up a quality management system. We looked into what caused problems and what managers thought about the need for ISO 9001 certification in Guinea’s agribusiness industries. We also look at the activity reports of the Guinean Institute of Standardization and Metrology (IGNM) and the National Office of Quality Control (ONCQ) to learn more about the problems. Our findings show that the main issue is that more national quality management experts are needed to assist agribusiness. It also shows that agribusiness leaders are willing to get ISO 9001 certification and use a quality management system. Nevertheless, the high cost of certification and the amount of paperwork are big problems that make it hard to reach that goal. The results of this paper will fill a gap in the literature and allow the Guinean government to take steps to help the agribusiness industries set up quality management systems.

The Islamic spirit of Muslims is really at the bottom of the ladder. It is made worse by Muslim scholars who are unable to balance Islamic scholarship with the Western world. Seeing this phenomenon, Muslim scholars are well aware that Islam is not doing well in the scientific field. Muslims must rise from adversity in the world of education, not only mastering Islamic sciences, but also being able to master modern scientific disciplines. These developments began to run marked by the existence of a low level of education up to the University. This is evidenced by the integration of science, Islamic-based public schools, for example the development of the Integrated Islamic Elementary School (SD-IT), even at a State Islamic University which previously only discussed Islamic scholarship has now transformed into an Islamic University that also develops nuances of knowledge. modern architecture wrapped in Islam, such as having a science and technology architecture (science and technology), biology, and so on.

Excesul de legiferare în materie penală. Curtea Constituțională – posibilă „piedică” în calea acestui fenomen?
Authors: Bugnar-Coldea Oana
Published: February 2023

Dezvoltarea continuă și exponențială a societății, a industriei, a economiei, a tehnologiei obligă legiuitorul să țină pasul cu realitatea, inclusiv în materie penală. În aceste condiții, riscul ca principiul subsidiarității și al proporționalității să fie încălcat, este destul de ridicat. În consecință, în cuprinsul prezentului material sunt evidențiate situațiile în care se poate discuta despre un exces de legiferare în materie penală, iar mai apoi în ce măsură Curtea Constituțională, în temeiul prerogativelor sale constituționale, ar putea sau nu să controleze acest risc.
Contestaţia privind durata procesului penal
Authors: Borlan Ionuț
Published: February 2023

În încercarea de a evita încălcarea repetată a duratei rezonabile a procesului penal, legiuitorul Codului de procedură penală în vigoare a implementat, pentru prima dată, procedura contestației privind durata procesului penal, care era deja funcțională în materie civilă. Deși nu a fost luată în considerare în primul moment al redactării Codului de procedură penală, această procedură a fost introdusă ulterior, intrând în vigoare, prin urmare, concomitent cu noua reglementare.

Practicile judiciare în materie relevă faptul că procedura a fost folosită de nenumărate ori, reprezentând adesea un mijloc eficient de accelerare a procesului penal, asigurându-se astfel respectarea dreptului justițiabililor de a obține o hotărâre judecătorească într-un termen rezonabil.

Având o reglementare suficient de clară și precisă, instanțele s-au confruntat cu situații care aparent au scăpat de incidența prezentei proceduri, fiind uneori obligate să recurgă la standardele convenționale elaborate în această materie de Curtea Europeană a Drepturilor Omului.

După aproape nouă ani de la intrarea în vigoare a contestației privind durata procesului penal, practica judiciară apare a fi încă neunitară, motiv pentru care, prin intermediul acestui studiu, ne-am propus să aducem câteva lămuriri asupra modului în care prevederile legale ar trebui interpretate și aplicate, inclusiv din perspectiva jurisprudenței Curții Europene a Drepturilor Omului, care a facilitat introducerea acestei proceduri.

"The Great Island of Mini-Oceania: Madagascar at the Crossroads of Empires. Madagascar, though rich in natural resources, is one of the poorest countries of the world. The mostly accepted explanation relies in its colonial past, which has become almost a cliché for many African countries. The great powers and empires played a major role in the formation and the evolution of the states, and Madagascar is no exception. The inheritance of the past, good or bad, is a burden for any country, but the evolution of national states, their successes and failures, depend on many more factors than their recent history. The present situation of many developing countries is not enviable, especially taking into consideration their enhanced vulnerability to world economic problems and environmental challenges.
