Authors: Tomalá-Parrales Miguel
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las formas en las que está recibiendo los servicios básicos la población del sitio San Juan de Manta y evaluar la incidencia en la calidad de vida. Se aplicó técnicas de investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa. La información estadística surge de la Encuesta de Caracterización Socioeconómica y Ambiental del Sitio San Juan de la ciudad de Manta ENCARSOECA-2018. A partir de esta se construyen los indicadores de cobertura. Los resultados dan cuenta que este sitio, si bien es cierto, tiene indicadores de cobertura altos en agua potable, energía eléctrica y alcantarillado, pero en los complementarios como acceso a internet, uso de celular y televisión pagada es muy limitada; además de tener dificultades en servicios de alumbrado de calles, asfaltado de vías, salud, educación, etc., lo que sin duda tiene incidencia para que la calidad de vida no sea la más óptima
Encountering Huberia
Authors: Flow Christian
Published: July 2023

This article implicates the question of what a scholar is with the question of when a scholar is: that is, how a scholar is positioned in time. The act of such positioning—“timing”—involves a wide array of negotiations: it embraces everything from the way a scholarly investigator construes their temporal relationship to their object, to the way they countenance past and future investigators, to the rapidity with which they write. And of course, it demands the efforts of other people. Using the case of the eighteenth-century Göttingen professor Johann Matthias Gesner (1691–1761), this piece explores how one scholar “timed” himself in three very different arenas—his domestic and day-to-day scheduling, his reading, and his projection of his scholarship and reputation into the future. To get at how temporal positioning is a shared enterprise, the article works to excavate the role of his female family members in the process. By amplifying the traces left by Gesner’s granddaughter, the titular Huberia—along with her mother, grandmother, and great aunt—in sources documenting the professor’s life, we are able to encounter, if only fragmentarily, some of those who helped Gesner constitute himself temporally.
Automatic Detection and Categorization of Skin Lesions for Early Diagnosis of Skin Cancer Using YOLO-v3 - DCNN Architecture
Authors: Manoj S. Oswalt , Abirami K. Rama , Victor Akila , Arya Monika
Published: July 2023

Malignant melanoma is a type of benign skin cancer that is the most lethal due to its rapid development and affects a large number of people worldwide. Also, it is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Moreover, existing research has stated that risk factors may be significantly decreased by making it nearly curable if diagnosed early on. This prompt identification and categorization necessitate using an automated system, even though the existing method is rather difficult. Hence our research employs the YOLO v3 - DCNN architecture to discover and categorize the deadliest kinds of skin cancer. Initially, YOLO v3 generates the feature map; simultaneously, colour features are extracted using colour moments with QuadHistogram, whereas Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) with Redundant Contourlet Transform(RCT) generated texture features, and both (colour and texture) features get fused. Then, fused features are fed into the Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), which classifies the different types of skin cancer. Finally, our proposed approach is compared with the current works. Consequently, our proposed YOLO-v3 –DCNN has greater accuracy when contrasted with the baseline techniques.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Short Periods of Incubation During Egg Storage (SPIDES) on the hatchability of broiler breeder eggs. Broiler hatching eggs (500) were divided into five groups (A to E) containing 100 eggs in each and further subdivided into five replicates of 20 each. These groups were subjected to SPIDES treatment at temperature 37.50C and 55-60% relative humidity (RH) viz. control A (7 days egg storage without SPIDES and incubated on 8th day), B (10 days storage with 1 h SPIDES on 5th day and incubated on 11th day), C (10 days storage with 2 h SPIDES on 5th day and incubated on 11th day), D (15 days storage with 1 h SPIDES on 5th and 10th day and incubated on 16th day), E (15 days storage with 2 h SPIDES on 5th and 10th day and incubated on 16th day). All eggs were stored at 16-180C temperature and 65-70% RH. Egg weight loss, fertility, hatchability, embryonic mortality, hatch window, chick quality and healthy chick production were studied. SPIDES treatment in Group E restored hatchability and healthy chick production, reduced late embryonic mortality and improved day-old chick length. In conclusion, SPIDES treatment at 37.5°C and 55-60% RH for 2 h on 5th and 10th day during 15 days egg storage restored the hatchability; and improved embryonic survivability, healthy chick production and chick quality.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of nanosilver (NS) as feed additive on performance, blood biochemistry and intestinal histomorphology of Vanaraja chicken. Chicks (180 day old) after one week of age were distributed randomly into five treatment groups of four replicates, each having 9 chicks. Treatment groups consisted of T1 (Control) fed basal diet without any additive and in T2, T3, T4 and T5, NS was added to the diet @ 20, 40, 60 and 80 mg/kg diet, respectively. Cumulative body weight gain also improved significantly with the inclusion of NS with highest gain in T5. There was no difference in the feed consumption among various groups including control. Feed conversion ratio was better in T5 compared to other groups. There was no difference in blood biochemical parameters among groups except for the protein levels which were highest in NS supplemented groups than control. The total viable and coliform counts decreased significantly in the group wherein NS was fed in the diet compared to the control. Villus height in different segments of small intestine improved significantly with the inclusion of NS in the diet with better values in T5 followed by T4. From the present study, it could be concluded that nanosilver up to 80 mg/kg level was effective in improving the growth performance, caecal microbiology and intestinal histomorphology of vanaraja birds.

Published: July 2023

Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious viral disease of birds causing immense direct and indirect losses to the poultry industry. Various studies conducted across the world suggested that ND has been creating havoc in the poultry industry. Over the past decade, India has been reporting cases of ND outbreaks every year. Therefore, a retrospective study was conducted to estimate the losses due to ND and identify the factors influencing those losses. The primary data was obtained directly from farmers employing multistage purposive random sampling. A modified methodology was employed to provide an aggregate figure accounting for the approximate losses due to ND over the period of 72 weeks of the commercial layers’ life cycle. The results of the study indicated that the losses due to morbidity were much higher compared to those due to mortality in ND-infected birds. The major factors influencing ND losses on the farms were drop in egg production, mortality of birds due to ND, duration of ND infection, reduction in feed intake, age at which birds get infected with ND, and experience of poultry farmers in the poultry business.

Published: July 2023

The subgroup J of avian leukosis virus causes myelocytomas, a neoplastic condition of the birds that affects several visceral organs. In the present study, myelocytomas were diagnosed in adult laying birds based on cytological and histopathological examination. On necropsy examination, the birds showed enlarged liver and spleen with multifocal tumorous growths in liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs, ovary, proventriculus, intestine and mesentery. Cytological examination of the impression smears from tumorous lesions revealed the characteristic myeloid cell population with granular cytoplasm and large eccentric nucleus with prominent nucleoli. Histopathologically, most of the organs showed infiltration of uniform sized, large myeloid cells arranged in sheets or columns. These cells had large number of cytoplasmic acidophilic granules and pleomorphic, vesicular or lobulated nucleus with few chromatin clumps. In addition, mitotic figures were also observed. The confirmatory diagnosis was done by immunolocalization of ALV-J viral antigen within the infiltrating cells in various tissues. Thus, the present study revealed circulation of ALV-J in the adult laying birds causing myelocytomoa under field conditions in Punjab, India. Further, cytopathology can be used as an alternative tool for diagnosis of this viral disease in field conditions with limited resources.
Does it matter when it happens? Assessing whether formative quizzes at different timepoints in a course are predictive of final exam grades

Published: July 2023

An important step towards promoting academic success is identifying students at risk of poor academic performance, particularly so they can be supported before they fall too far behind. In this study we investigated whether students’ grades on five quizzes that were distributed evenly throughout a course were differentially predictive of their grades on the final cumulative exam. Our focus was not on summative value of the quizzes, but rather how this information could be used to help inform more specific guidelines regarding when student performance should be a concern, and to provide insight for how to better individualize student support. The results of a regression analysis showed that students’ grades for the second, fourth, and fifth quiz were significant predictors of students’ performance on the final cumulative exam. Students’ grade on the first quiz reached borderline significance as a predictor of their grade on the final cumulative exam. Our findings suggest that students’ performance throughout various timepoints of a course is important to take into account for considerations about students' academic achievement. The implications of these findings include the use of frequent quizzing to identify students who would benefit most from additional, targeted academic support to improve the trajectory of their academic achievement. Additionally, students should be made aware of the relationship between their grades on quizzes to the final cumulative exam to help inform their decisions regarding individual academic planning and success.

Modéliser et représenter la création audio-numérique pour la pérenniser
Authors: Vincent Antoine , Bonardi Alain , Rousseaux Francis
Published: July 2023

La transmission et la préservation des œuvres musicales s’est appuyée au cours des derniers siècles sur un substrat culturel stable tripartite :- la partition, fondée sur l’écriture musicale abstraite et le système tempéré ;- l’organologie traditionnelle classifiant les instruments selon deux axes : pour les hauteurs, le modèle des voix (SATB) ; et pour le timbre, l’interface permettant le contrôle de la source sonore (cordes frottées, pincées, frappées, etc.)- la lutherie, capable de fabriquer ces instruments, de les adapter au cours du temps tout en garantissant une certaine authenticité, ou encore de produire de nouveaux instruments pouvant s’intégrer à l’organologie (par exemple, le saxophone au XIXe siècle).Cette organisation tripolaire possède une grande stabilité : les premiers instruments faisant appel à l’électronique entre les deux guerres (le Theremin, les ondes Martenot, etc.) ont introduit de nouveaux rapports à la matière sonore mais ont cependant privilégié l’intégration à l’écriture traditionnelle. Toutefois, l’apparition des systèmes électroniques et numériques a bouleversé le monde de la composition, déstabilisant ces traditions pluriséculaires et mettant en péril la préservation de la musique contemporaine faisant appel aux technologies. Devant la nécessité de mettre à jour les œuvres pour faire face à l’obsolescence, il nous paraît fondamental d’étudier les processus de composition, d’en extraire les informations pertinentes, nécessaires pour ressaisir certaines intentions originales du compositeur. Notre approche se fonde sur la modélisation des processus de production et la création d’un langage permettant de représenter ces pratiques de composition. Ce langage sera à la base d’un environnement permettant de capter et de naviguer au sein d’un flux de production.
L’improvisation composée : une utopie fructueuse née avec la musique interactive (1977-1985)
Authors: Bloch Georges
Published: July 2023

Plusieurs éléments ont participé à la naissance de la musique interactive, dont la naissance se situe assez précisément entre 1977 et 1985. La découverte de la synthèse par modulation de fréquence montre que l’on peut utiliser un ordinateur pour calculer des sons de façon économique (donc potentiellement en temps réel) ; le standard MIDI permet à des machines de communiquer, y compris en situation de concert. Enfin, la synthèse opérée par Joel Chadabe sur les expérimentations électro-acoustiques de type installation et les dernières avancées des synthétiseurs analogiques vont permettre d’imaginer des situations hybrides entre composition et improvisation.
Apprentissage de la programmation fonctionnelle à des étudiants en musicologie : une expérience
Authors: Ézéquel Philippe
Published: July 2023

L’enseignement de la programmation fonctionnelle « pure » présente au moins deux difficultés pédagogiques spécifiques : d’abord l’absence des structures de contrôle habituelles dans le paradigme impératif, ensuite la nécessité de maîtriser, par conséquent, l’induction. L’utilisation d’un langage « réel » dans un tel cadre s’avère délicat, car ces concepts sont obscurcis par des contraintes syntaxiques par ailleurs légitimes s’agissant de langages permettant de réaliser de « vrais » logiciels. C’est pourquoi la machine de Peano a été conçue, offrant une syntaxe simple et permettant de manipuler les objets classiques de la programmation fonctionnelle (listes et arbres). Ce texte décrit la machine, ainsi que son utilisation dans le cadre d’une initiation à la programmation fonctionnelle, tant en musicologie qu’en première année de licence scientifique.
SISTEM PERNIKAHAN SUKU BUGIS DAN SUKU MINANG “TRADISI UANG PANAI”

Published: July 2023

Banyaknya suku di Indonesia menjadikan banyak pula kebudayaan yang diterapkan dalammasyarakatnya, terutama dalam hal pernikahan. Salah satu adat istiadat yang jarang diketahuiorang di jaman sekarang adalah tradisi uang panai dan uang japuik. Tradisi uang Panai sendirimerupakan tradisi dalam sistem pernikahan Suku Bugis Makassar, dimana pihak laki-lakiharus memberikan mahar berupa uang, emas, harta benda, sesuai dengan strata sosial daripihak perempuan. Sedangkan uang panai itu sendiri lebih ke dalam hal yang bersangkut pautuntuk membiayai segala kebutuhan bagi pihak wanita sedangkan uang mahar lebih kepemberian calon pengantin pria yang nantinya bersifat mutlak menjadi hak milik seorangwanita ketika sudah sah. Sedangkan dalam Suku Minang khususnya Padang Pariaman uangPanai dikenal dengan sebutan uang Japuik. Uang Japuik ini kebalikan dari uang Panai dimanapihak perempuan yang harus memberikan mahar kepada pihak laki-laki sebagai simbolmahar. Kedua adat ini tentunya menjadi kontroversi tersendiri, dimana masih banyakbermunculan statment negatif tentang kedua budaya ini yaitu: “jual membeli”. Penelitian iniakan membahas tentang sistem pernikahan suku Bugis dan suku Minang dalam tradisi uangmaharnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasi, studi pustaka, wawancara,dan dokumentasi.
VOYAGE SPEED OPTIMIZATION USING GENETIC ALGORITHM
Authors: Taspinar Tarik , Orman Zeynep
Published: July 2023

Decreasing the fuel consumption and thus greenhouse gas emissions of vessels have emerged as a critical topic for both ship operators and policymakers in recent years. The speed of vessels has long been recognized to have the highest impact on fuel consumption. The aim of this study is to develop a speed optimization model using a time-constrained genetic algorithm (GA). Subsequent to this, this paper also presents the application of machine learning regression methods in constructing a model to predict the fuel consumption of vessels. The local outlier factor algorithm is used to eliminate outliers in prediction features. The overfitting problem is observed after hyperparameter tuning in boosting and tree-based regression prediction methods. The early stopping technique is applied for overfitted models. In this study, speed is found to be the most significant feature for fuel consumption prediction. On the other hand, GA evaluation results showed that random modifications in the default speed profile could increase GA performance and thus fuel savings more than constant speed limits during voyages.
Open Framework For Digital Twin Ship Data: Case Studies On Handling Of Multiple Taxonomies And Navigation Simulation
Authors: Aragão Fonseca Ícaro , Ferrari de Oliveira Felipe , Murilo Gaspar Henrique
Published: July 2023

The digital twin concept describes a comprehensive model used to monitor and simulate an existing asset in nearly real-time. In a maritime context, digital twins do not yet have a wide selection of standards to support interoperability among systems, undermining users’ ability to create a cohesive digital twin that combines multiple sources of data. This study proposes an open framework for modelling and organizing ship, sensor, and operating context data in digital twins. The framework is web-driven, allowing digital twin content and simulations to be accessed by distributed users. Two case studies based on the framework are presented. The first one explains how to manage ship and sensor data using taxonomies suitable across different stages of the lifecycle. A dashboard for browsing a digital model of the research vessel Gunnerus according to taxonomies for early design and operation is developed as a proof of concept. The second case study illustrates how the proposed data standards can be used to develop simulations accounting for some aspects of the vessel’s operating context. The digital Gunnerus model is used to develop a navigational simulator including surrounding terrain and nearby vessels. The challenges anticipated in scaling the framework toward industrial applications are discussed in terms of standards’ capabilities, compatibility, and of data governance. Plans of integrating the case studies with sensor streams to obtain true digital twins are outlined.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the beginning of the emergence of formal institutions in classical times and to determine the development of the state archives office in classical and modern times and to determine the development of Al-Shalunat al-Adabiyah in classical and modern times. This study uses a literature review approach. Literature Review is the result of analyzing various conceptual information as well as qualitative and quantitative data from various previously published scientific articles. The method used in this research is literature study which functions as a guide in studying a research problem (review of research). Based on the results of the analysis of this research, it is known that the appearance of the institution mentioned by Goerge Makdisi is a government institution as part of an educational institution, namely the negata archives office (a school for prospective government secretaries). The state archives office is a school for secretaries of all levels who work in government. School is the main place of education for prospective secretaries who are the backbone of humanities studies. If it is described with an existing institution, this state archives office is the same as the IPDN Institution (Internal Administration Institution). The next educational institution is a literary studio or As-Shalunat al-Adabiyah which can be interpreted as a place to perform reading and study literature, or as a cultural or theater center, such as the Ismail Marzuki Park in Jakarta. In carrying out the activities of the literary assembly, each Khalifah has certain clues.

ОПОВІДАННЯ ПРО МИКОЛУ СВЯТОШУ В КИЄВО-ПЕЧЕРСЬКОМУ ПАТЕРИКУ: ДОСВІД ГЕРМЕНЕВТИЧНОГО АНАЛІЗУ
Authors: Shumilo Svіtlana
Published: July 2023

Мета статті полягає у здійсненні герменевтичного аналізу одного з оповідань Києво-Печерського патерика – оповіді про Миколу Святошу, князя, який у важкий час міжкнязівських чвар покинув своє князювання задля чернечого шляху. Це не просте патерикове оповідання, воно присвячене не стільки розповіді про власно Миколу, скільки про його стосунки з лікарем; аналіз їхніх діалогів, проведений із урахуванням основних особливостей ісихастського вчення, дозволяє робити висновки про зв’язок цього оповідання із філософією богопізнання, якого можливо досягнути шляхом безперервної сердечної молитви. Новизна статті полягає саме у використанні методу герменевтичного аналізу щодо обраного оповідання та розгляді його з точки зору ісихастського вчення про безперервну молитву.   Зроблені висновки про те, що цей твір можна проаналізувати як ісихастське повчання про суть аскези, повчання про безперестанну молитву, пом’якшення серця, споглядання («созерцанiе»), а також про милостиве пастирство. Микола Святоша постав перед нами не лише як цілительбезсрібник, яким він названий в Каноні печерським святим, складеному Петром Могилою, а й як дивовижно проникливий пастир-ісихаст, який мав великий педагогічний талант і вмів м’яко й милостивно підвести людину до розуміння глибин православного сприймання світу. Оповідання про Миколу Святошу, за умови його правильного прочитання, є однією із найяскравіших проповідей ісихазму й ісихастського пастирства в літературі Київської Русі, і це робить його унікальним твором нашої прадавньої літератури.

The global community is divided on economic status. The conditions of the poor communities are critical, especially in developing and underdeveloped nations. Most of these nations belong to the Asian, African, and South American continents. The nations from these continents owe rich natural heritage and cultural diversity. The eco-cultural ethos embedded in the indigenous customs and traditions of these nations has global relevance in the modern age of information. It is fact that the solution to any environmental challenge exists in the cultural roots of the nation. India is one of such nations which inhabit diverse eco-culture. The purpose of this paper is to understand the natural heritage of rural India and the local conservation practices prevalent in the rural communities to achieve the targets of UN SDGs. Undoubtedly, nature conservation and environment protection involve social dimensions connected to the local ecological setup. The eco-centric approach of the Indian culture lies in the concepts of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutubkam’ (Earth is one family), ‘Aranya Sanskriti’ (Forest Culture), and the ‘Prakriti Purush’ (Natural Human) which are deeply embedded in the traditions and the customs of the Indian society. Based on traditional conservation practices, the community manages the local natural heritage. The diversity of customs and traditions results in the vividness of the conservation practices. Thus, the socio-ecological systems could be used for site-specific conservation programs and policies.

Authors:   Associate Professor Pediatrics, Atrium Health Navicent Macon, Georgia, United States.
Published: July 2023

Objective: Using motivational interview techniques, we aimed to encourage families to make healthy lifestyle choices with the goal of a decreased child’s body mass index percentile for age over time. Methods: We designated one afternoon each week to a special clinic focused on healthy lifestyle habits. Parents were referred to our clinic from private pediatricians in the area. During the initial visit which included the parent, the child and the resident, plus or minus a nutritionist or a family and marriage therapist, we focused discussion on assessment of current lifestyle habits and then on goal setting regarding lifestyle, exercise and diet. Patients and their families were seen every 1-3 months. During subsequent visits we focused discussion on reassessment of previously stated goals. Results: Over one half of our patients achieved a lower or steady body mass index percentile for age compared to their starting percentile. Conclusions: Simple and effective techniques can be incorporated into every pediatric visit to help educate and encourage families with a child with overweight or obesity.

An inevitability is that where there is a change there are also challenges in the conditions of that change. In this case the Islamic State we mean there are two first terms, the Islamic State in the sense of a State whose principles and laws use Islamic teachings as sources.

In the Middle Ages, Islam in a period of decline, Western hegemony almost occurred in all Muslim-majority countries. The Muslim community is starting to realize the situation they are facing. Especially the backwardness of Islam in developing outside the truth of revelation. Islamic countries were colonized by Europeans.

Therefore, Muslims are forced to let go of the shackles and stranglehold of the west. With that, the Islamic community began to overhaul the pattern of thinking through educational institutions. Here, it is hoped that Muslims will start thinking about the independence of the nation, political culture and education

Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness is a neglected dis ease that impacts 70 million people living in 1.55 million km2 in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease strikes predominantly poor populations in sub-Saharan Africa and has been targeted for elimination as a public health problem by 2030. Despite decades of control operations, the disease remains enigmatic and persists in populations at low levels of prevalence. Hence sev eral research approaches must be utilized to infer on the feasibility of attaining the set target. Among them, mathematical modeling is a very successful tool and has been extensively used for different diseases. In this study four mathematical models were proposed to evaluate the effects of educational campaigns, seasonality, memory effects, time delay and heterogeneity in the human population on Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense transmission and control dynamics. In the formulated models the basic reproduction number R0 was computed and qualitatively used to establish the condition for disease eradication and persistence. In the first model, effects of human awareness through educational campaigns and use of insecticides on short-and long-term dynamics of the disease were evaluated. Analytical results of the study showed that the model undergoes a backward bifurcation. Further, upon extending the model to incorporate time-dependent educational campaigns and the use of insecticides, it was noted that when the aforementioned strategies were intensified the associated costs were also high, and the reverse was true. Moreover, it was also noted that reducing the upper bound of educational campaign control (u1) from 1 to 0.5 and insecticide control (u2) from 1 to 0.3 could lead to a 17.6% reduction in costs. Next, the model system was extended to include temperature and case detection followed by treatment of infected humans. With the aid of suitable Lyapunov functionals, the global stability of the model’s steady states was carried out. Upon simulating the model with temperature fixed at 20 and 25◦C, it was noted that the value of vector control be greater than 30 and 50% respectively for R0 to be less than unity. Lastly, the time delay factor was included in the model system to assess the effects of incubation period on the dynamics of T. brucei rhodesiense disease in the population. The numerical results demonstrated that the inclusion of the time delay factor in the model system destabilized the endemic equilibrium point leading to Hopf bifurcation.

Suomessa tutkimuseettinen toiminta on järjestetty Tutkimuseettisen neuvottelukunnan (TENK) ohjeella hyvästä tieteellisestä käytännöstä (HTK-ohje). Osana HTK-ohjetta on esitetty menettely, jolla hyvän tieteellisen käytännön loukkausta koskevat epäilyt tulisi käsitellä ohjeeseen sitoutuneissa tutkimusorganisaatioissa. Samalla hallinnon yleislainsäädäntöä tulisi soveltaa loukkausepäilyjen käsittelyyn niissä ohjeeseen sitoutuneissa organisaatioissa, joihin lain mukaan sääntelyä on sovellettava. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan, mitä hyvällä tieteellisellä käytännöllä ja sen loukkaamisella tarkoitetaan. Pääpaino on uuden HTK-ohjeen esittelyssä ja käsitteistön täsmentämisessä. Artikkelissa selvennetään TENK:n oikeudellista asemaa. Menetelmältään tutkimus on lainopillinen eli siinä tulkitaan ja systematisoidaan lainsäädäntöä.

Innovation for energy storage becomes essential for advancing the electrification goal. Over the past ten years, the trend toward electric vehicles and renewable energy has placed an unexpectedly high demand on battery technology. The development of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) has been touted as a revolution in energy storage technology. Due to its promising performance, LIB has not only performed well for electronic applications but is also well-known for its scalability for mass production. Although it is projected that LIB will continue to dominate the market for the succeeding ten years, the rise of battery giga-factories is still sluggish. The biggest barrier to increasing end-to-end battery production on an industrial scale is the complexity of the manufacturing process and the number of machines used. Because the viability of the firm may be impacted by inaccurate calculations regarding the battery production chain. Investigating how to increase battery cathode production from a laboratory to an industrial scale is therefore important. National Battery Research Institute, one of Indonesia's top battery research centers, contributed as the study's subject. The calculation was focused on NMC 811 cathode active material by considering cost structure factor such as raw materials, machinery, power consumption, and manpower. The result has successfully estimated the total cost for scaling-up 100 Kg production of NMC 811 cathode per batch or 36 Tons in a year. As a note, the data that was discussed in this manuscript limited on machinery, power consumption, and manpower aspect. While raw material cost will be discussed in detail, separately in another article.

Rwandan education has been trying to find the correct way of teaching and learning foreign languages at school for a long time. In the academic year 2020/2021, many official languages, mainly French, Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili, have been introduced to be taught as subjects in first years in IPRC Kigali, in addition to English. During the implementation of the new instructions, challenges have been noticed. For that reason, in this study, the researcher has tried to find out challenges of the above mentioned changes. Qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis were used. To gather information, two questionnaires were designed and addressed to teachers and concerned learners respectively year 1 students. Respondents involved in this research were 11 language teachers and 100 learners. The findings revealed that teaching and learning multiple languages simultaneously has many challenges. Some of them are: making students overloaded with lessons in a short time and students don’t get them well; issues of code switching and code mixing; students remain unproficient. And one of the recommendations is that students should be taught those languages from the lower levels of their studies so as to have a strong background at higher learning schools.

The biodiversity of terrestrial arthropods in Federal University Wukari (FUW) and Kwararafa University Wukari (KUW)’s farm, Taraba State, Nigeria was studied from September to November, 2021 simultaneously using pitfall traps, sweep nets, and hand picking. A total of 1686 individuals of arthropods belonging to 31 species of 28 families and 17 orders were collected from FUW’s farm while 2487 individuals of terrestrial arthropods belonging to 29 species of 25 families and 16 orders from KUW. Orders Hymenoptera (1110 individuals), Coleoptera (394 individuals) and Orthoptera (72 individuals) dominated fauna in FUW while Orders Hymenoptera (1005), Dipteral (766), Orthoptera (197), and Dictyoptera (107) dominated in KUW’s farm. The most abundant species in FUW’s farm was Dorylus nigricans (Soldier ant) of the family Formicidae belonging to the order Hymenoptera while the most abundant species of KUW’s farm was Musca domestica (house fly) belonging to the Family Muscidae of the order Diptera. Shannon-Weiners diversity index (H1) showed a relative uniformity of data with the highest value of 2.483 in the month of September for KUW while the highest value of 2.007 was also seen in the month of September in FUW. The month with the highest number of recorded arthropod was September in FUW with a value of 5.106 while in KUW, it was seen in the month of October with a value of 4.456. The organic matter and nitrogen content in the soil gotten from FUW’s farm was 1.60% and 0.73% respectively while that of KUW’s farm was 0.78% and 0.90% respectively. The pH of the soil from both studies was alkalinic in nature with a value of 7.85 and 7.69 respectively. The terrestrial arthropod species inventory will increase our knowledge of the arthropod fauna in FUW and KUW’s farm.
