Published: July 2024

The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of communication on performance of project within Non-Governmental Organizations in Mogadishu, Somalia. In this research, descriptive research design was used, and the target population was 78 managers and 390 senior employees in the 78 NGOs in Mogadishu. The study adopted a stratified random sampling technique, where a sample size of 216 respondents was selected using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Data was collected using questionnaire, and descriptive and inferential statistics were applied in the data analysis. The findings showed that managers and other higher-level staff are aware of the communication process. There was a written and well-articulated communication process. The managers can communicate effectively with employees. Communication within the NGO has an influence on organizational performance. The intercept between communication and performance of project becomes better by β = 0.821, p<0.01. This meant that when a single unit improves Communication, the project performance also significantly improves by 82.1%. Lastly, the study concluded that communication is very key for any seamless operations within the project deliverables. Further, communication is the key ingredient in effective project management as everything revolves around it from planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation which requires proper feedback mechanisms for a seamless operation.  Finally, the study recommends adoption of a communication channel that facilitates proper feedback mechanism in order to prevent information loss on any item, whether it is a big or small ticket item.
Statistics of visual features in the human iris
Authors: Matey James R , Grother Patrick , Watters III Edward C
Published: July 2024

In most current applications of iris recognition, matching is done by computer algorithms. The dominant algorithms are based on the work of John Daugman and are well understood because of the extensive analysis in the literature of iris2pi (the shorthand name for the Daugman algorithms). However, the internals of the dominant algorithms are not intuitive – the features that lead to the determination of a match between two iris images are not obvious to a casual observer. In forensic cases, evidence may be presented to non-technical people. Hence there is interest in the forensic community in human adjudication of matches between iris images, where the human relies upon easily understood visible features. This paper presents an analysis of the distribution of visible features in the human eye that may be of use in assessing the likelihood of a set of visible features occurring in two eyes by chance.
ALKYLBENZENESULFONIC ACID AS A REAGENT FOR FLOTATION EXTRACTION OF LANTHANUM (III), SAMARIUM (III) AND TERBIUM (III) IONS

Published: July 2024

The anionogenic surfactant alkylbenzenesulfonic acid is proposed as a collector for ionic flotation of rare-earth elements. Stability of foams at various concentrations of alkylbenzenesulfonic acid has been preliminarily studied. Shaking 5 mL of solutions with 0.1 or 0.01 mol/L reagent containing for 30 s produces 15 mL of foam. This volume persists for up to 10 min, after which it degrades within 1.5 h. At the alkylbenzenesulfonic acid concentration of 0.001 mol/L, close to the critical micelle concentration, the volume of the formed foam is half as much and its destruction is slower. Further reduction of the alkylbenzenesulfonic acid content leads to the formation of scanty and unstable foams. The possibility of flotation recovery of three-charged ions of rare earth elements (lanthanum, samarium and terbium) with alkylbenzenesulfonic acid from their aqueous solutions with 0.001 mol/L concentration was considered. The influence of the molar ratio of lanthanide ions and alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, as well as the flotation time on the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the flotation process has been studied. Determination of rare earth elements recovery rate was carried out by their residual content in the solution after flotation. Alkylbenzenesulfonic acid predominantly acts as a precipitant in the studied processes. The surfactant ions remaining in the solution contribute to foaming. During flotation for 5 minutes the maximum recovery of lanthanum (III) was 97.21% at the metal vs. reagent ratio 1:3.5. For samarium (III) and terbium (III) a threefold excess of alkylbenzenesulfonic acid is optimal. The extraction of terbium (III) in this case reaches 91.72% for 5 min, samarium (III) – 86.84% for 10 min.

Published: July 2024

The conditions for solid-phase extraction of the synthetic food dye Fast Green FCF (E 143) by basic and modified with polyhexamethylene guanidine alumina (Al2O3-PHMG) were determined. The equilibration time for extraction of E143 dye was 15 min for the both adsorbents. Quantitative extraction of E143 dye with Al2O3-PHMG was achieved in the ranges of pH 1.0–3.0 and pH 6.5–7.5. The maximum extraction of the dye by basic alumina was observed in the pH range of 2.0–5.0 and did not exceed 80%. The adsorption capacity of adsorbents for E143 dye was 20 µmol g-1 for Al2O3, 35 µmol g-1 for Al2O3-PHMG at pH 1 and 11 µmol g-1 at pH 6.5. The experimental adsorption isotherms for Al2O3-PHMG at pH 1 and pH 6.5 are best fitted the Langmuir model. The adsorption isotherm for Al2O3 in the segment of growth of the adsorption capacity is best fitted the Freundlich model. When extracting E143 dye, the surface of the adsorbents acquired a color characteristic for the dye in solution. In this case, an intense band with a maximum at 620 nm was observed in the diffuse reflectance spectra of the surface of the adsorbents. The procedure of adsorption-photometric determination of E143 dye in the variant of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy using Al2O3-PHMG was proposed. Limit of detection, calculated by the 3s-criterion, was 7 µg L-1 when using 10 mL of solution. The analytical range of dye concentrations was 0.02–3.0 mg L-1. The relative standard deviation did not exceed 0.08 (n=10). The selectivity of preconcentration of E143 at pH 1.0 was higher than at pH 6.5. The developed procedure was used for determination of the Fast Green FCF dye in a model solution based on the soft drink.

Published: July 2024

The reaction of equimolar amounts of alkyltriphenylphosphonium bromides with 1-naphthalenesulfonic, 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic, and sulfosalicylic acids in water leads to the formation of ionic alkyltriphenylphosphonium arenesulfonates [Ph3PR][OSO2Ar], R = CH2OMe, Ar = Naft-1 (I); R = CH=СHPPh3, Ar = C6H3(NO2)2-2,4 (II); R = (CH2)2Br (III),  R = C6H11-cyclo (IV), Ar = C6H3(COOH-3)(OH-4). Structures of complexes I‒IV have been established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes I–IV are air-stable transparent crystals, readily soluble in arenes, ethanol, chloroform, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, carbon tetrachloride, diethyl ether, and poorly soluble in water at room temperature. Phosphorus atoms in alkyltriphenylphosphonium cations I–IV have tetrahedral coordination, arenesulfonate anions have the usual geometry with a tetrahedral sulfur atom. Compound II crystallizes as a hydrate. The P–C bond lengths vary in the range 1.240(3)–1.827(3) Å, which is less than the sum of the covalent radii of partner atoms (1.83 Å). CPC bond angles vary within 103.77(9)°−112.80(12)°; S–C distances in sulfonate anions are 1.768(3)‒1.807(3) Å. The S–O bond lengths are close to each other and take the values 1.427(3)‒1.4710(17) Å. The bond angles OSO (111.56(10)°−115.74(18)°) are larger than the OSC angles (103.02(12)°−107.26(9)°). Cations and anions in complexes I‒IV are connected by short contacts of S=O∙∙∙Н(Рh) type [2.350‒2.717 Å] (the sum of Van der Waals partner atoms O···Н is 2.62 Å). In crystal II, short contacts of the N=O∙∙∙H(Ph) type [2.448–2.699 Å] are also observed. Crystal structures of I, III, IV contain CH∙∙∙π interactions (2.658‒2.898 Å). Moreover, the spatial structure of crystals II, III is formed with the participation of π–π interactions. (3.276‒3.359 Å).

PROTON-CONDUCTING MEMBRANES BASED ON MODIFIED POLYVINYLIDENE CHLORIDE
Authors: Badanov Sergey V. , Urumov Andrey V. , Shaglaeva Nina S.
Published: July 2024

Polyvinylidene chloride was obtained by radical polymerization of vinylidene chloride and its sulfonation was carried out. When concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a sulfonating agent, the sulfonation process proceeds in the direction of dehydrochlorination of the vinylidene chloride units, and as a result, an insoluble black reaction product is formed. Therefore, sodium sulfite was chosen as the sulphurizing agent. The optimal conditions for the reaction of polyvinylidene chloride with sodium sulfite were found, while the maximum sulfur content in the modified polyvinylidene chloride, according to elemental analysis, was 3.2%. In the IR spectrum of the modified polyvinylidene chloride, the stretching vibrations of the C-Cl bond in the region of 660 cm-1 are preserved, but absorption bands appear characteristic of the sulfogroup (1250 and 1130 cm-1) and dehydrochlorinated units of polyvinylidene chloride (1630–1670 cm-1). This means that the reaction of polyvinylidene chloride with sodium sulfite is accompanied by dehydrochlorination of vinylidene chloride units. The temperature of the start of decomposition of polyvinylidene chloride containing sulfonic acid groups, according to thermogravimetric analysis, is 250 °С, which is 30 °С higher than for the original polymer. The theoretical total ion-exchange capacity of the modified polyvinylidene chloride, calculated from the sulfur content, is consistent with the experimental values and is 1.0 meq/g and is close to the similar value for the Nafion membrane. Based on polyvinylidene chloride containing sulfonic acid groups and polyvinyl alcohol, a membrane was obtained and the dependence of proton conductivity on temperature was studied. As the temperature rises from 30 °C to 80 °C, a monotonic increase in proton conductivity is observed from 6.7·10-3 S/cm to 1.8·10-2 S/cm with an activation energy of 17±1 KJ/mol. The mechanical properties of the membrane have been studied.

Published: July 2024

This study focuses on the mechanical properties of DLP/LCD-type 3D-printed nanocomposites comprised of polyester acrylate resin with DPGDA reactive diluent filled with untreated PTFE and surface-modified PTFE powders by the Na-Naphtalenide system. To obtain the nanocomposites, untreated and surface-modified PTFE powders were incorporated into the resin systems at loading ratios ranging from 1% to 6%. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data following the Na-naphthalene system treatment demonstrated the existence of functional groups such as OH, carbonyl, and C=C unsaturation groups on the surface of the untreated PTFE powders. The study showed improvements for the nanocomposites obtained through a DLP/LCD type 3D printer up to a certain ratio in terms of tensile strength, Young's modulus, Izod impact resistance, and Shore D hardness values. Evaluating the promising samples, the nanocomposites with surface-modified PTFE powders of 2% and 1% showed increases of 5.1% and 7.6% in ultimate tensile strength and Izod impact resistance compared to the unfilled polyester acrylate sample. On the other hand, the nanocomposite with untreated PTFE powders of 1% only showed increases of 2.4% and 3.2% in ultimate tensile strength and Izod impact resistance. Moreover, Young’s modulus showed less decrease for surface-modified PTFE-filled nanocomposites.

Malnutrition still poses a serious threat to world health and has far-reaching effects on both individuals and societies. The objective of this study is to objectively evaluate and assess the efficacy of various approaches used to combat hunger and promote healthy nutrition on a worldwide scale. We used a mixed-methods approach to gather quantitative and qualitative information from a variety of demographics, including kids, teens, adults, and elderly people, in order to evaluate their nutritional health and the prevalence of malnutrition. The prevalence of stunting and wasting among children under the age of five was found to be alarming, highlighting the urgent need for focused interventions to enhance child nutrition. The study also brought attention to the dual effects of malnutrition, with considerable rates of undernutrition and overnutrition seen across a range of age groups. Programs for nutrition education have been demonstrated to be helpful at raising participants' nutrition-related knowledge and encouraging healthier eating habits. Initiatives to fortify foods have shown promise in treating micronutrient deficiencies, and improvements to agriculture and food production have had a favorable influence on the variety and accessibility of food. Programs for maternal and child health made a significant contribution to the decrease in stunting and low birth weight by highlighting the value of comprehensive prenatal care in ending the cycle of malnutrition. The study emphasizes the need for context-specific and evidence-based measures to combat malnutrition and promote healthy nutrition, offering insightful information for decision-makers in healthcare and policy. We may endeavor to find lasting and fair solutions to this global health issue by utilizing effective tactics and resolving constraints. In order to enhance nutrition outcomes and general health on a larger scale, more study is needed to examine the cost-effectiveness and long-term effects of interventions.

Published: July 2024

Në këtë punim do të prezantojmë disa rezultate të një pune ende në vijim mbi disa tekste të traditës islame, të shkruara me alfabet grek nga autorë bektashianë. Dukuria meriton një vëmendje specifike për shkak se përbën një shembull të pa marrë parasysh sa duhet (përveç përpjekjeve tona) në studimet mbi traditën letrare dhe shkrimore të lëvruar nga autorët myslimanë shqiptarë, përkatësisht shkrimin e teksteve shqipe me përmbajtje fetare islame të prodhuara në gjysmën e dytë të shek. XIX, duke përdorur një alfabet tjetër nga ai arab.
Këtë dukuri në kontekstin e letrave shqipe kemi pasur rastin ta shqyrtojmë edhe më parë, por duke u mbështetur kryesisht në një burim të vetëm, i cili është në fakt edhe një prej shembujve më interesantë, për shkak se tekstet që përmban janë shkruar duke përdorur si alfabetin arab, ashtu edhe atë grek. Në këtë artikull do të paraqesim përfundimet që janë arritur duke shfrytëzuar kryesisht gjashtë dorëshkrime me alfabet grek (ku përfshihet edhe dorëshkrimi i sipërpërmendur i shkruar me alfabet arab dhe grek) të autorëve/shkruesve bektashinj të Jugut të Shqipërisë, tekste të cilat përbëjnë edhe korpusin kryesor të materialeve të këtij lloji që njihen nga ana jonë.
Në fillim do të bëhet një prezantim i materialit duke paraqitur të dhënat që kemi arritur të nxjerrim rreth autorëve/shkruesve, kohës dhe vendit të shkrimit. Në vijim do të bëhet një pasqyrë e përmbajtjes së dorëshkrimeve dhe e marrëdhënieve të mundshme të teksteve, duke u munduar të nxjerrim në pah edhe disa ngjashmëri dhe ndryshime mes materialeve në fjalë.
Në pjesën e fundit do të bëhet një vlerësim rreth kushteve sociale dhe kulturore që kanë mundësuar lindjen e një praktike të tillë shkrimore/letrare dhe rreth vendit që duhet të ketë zënë kjo dukuri në hapësirën e letërsisë dhe të letrave shqipe të shek. XIX, sidomos në kontekstin e traditës letrare islame.

Published: July 2024

This article presents a historical overview of institutional initiatives concerning the inclusion of Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples as indicators of good governance in education. This underscores the importance of not only integrated but an inclusive education for every student from both the mainstream and the margins. Gleaned from the experience of MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), this study elaborates the following: (1) what are the policies and programs contributing to the inclusion of Non-Moro IPs in MSU-IIT, and (2) how MSU-IIT administered the Non-Moro IP population and what are the challenges encountered. This research utilized qualitative methods with data coming from MSU-IIT offices and online databases, corroborated with purposive-snowball interviews. Discussions show that the IP students have faced a number of obstacles that have interfered with their college experience, whether they relate to admissions or retention including dropping out of classes, financial constraints and struggle in major coursework leading to the necessary improvement on their overall scholastic performance. MSU-IIT has also responded to the challenge of exclusion through, but not limited to, the General Education Program, the Five-Year Development Plan covering Education and Student Support Pillars, the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) Policy, and other academic and non- academic pathway initiatives.

Introduction. La communauté internationale à travers l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) a déclaré le 30 janvier 2020 une urgence de Santé Publique de haute portée internationale suite à la pandémie de COVID-19. Sur le terrain en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), la COVID-19 a trouvé un système de santé déstructuré, désorganisé et fragilisé par des flambées d’autres épidémies souvent récidives. Cet article évalue l’impact de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur les programmes et services de santé essentielle tel le Paludisme au sein des Cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa (CUK). Matériel et Méthodes. Il s’agissait d’une étude quantitative rétrospective analytique qui s’inscrit dans le contexte d’une analyse des rapports des différents programmes/revue de registres de diagnostic, de consultations et de PEC des patients reçus pour Paludisme et Covid-19. Cette étude menée durant la période de Juillet 2020 au Juillet 2021 avait fait recours des outils validés. L’échantillon était de 315 professionnels de santé sur une population de 1.742. Résultats. Il ressort de cette étude pour les caractéristiques que : 55,2% de nos enquêtés sont de femmes, dont la plupart sont dans la fourchette d’âge qui varie entre 26-46 ans (64,8%), 70,2% entre eux sont des infirmiers(es), suivi des autres paramédicaux qui représentent 17,5% et seulement 12,4% des Médecins. 58,4% de nos répondants sont des mariés(e) contre 23,2% de célibataires et 14,3% avait le statut de divorcés et 4,1% de veuf(es). S’agissant de l’analyse multivariée en cohérence avec l’impact de Covid-19 dans un terrain de paludisme et le fonctionnement des CUK, les analyses démontrent clairement que : la corrélation existe belle est bien entre impact de Covid-19 dans un terrain de paludisme et le fonctionnement des CUK à l’IC 95%, RR 2,011,19-3,39 khi-deux de =0,008 et P-value à 0,15); la disponibilité des RM impacte directement le fonctionnement correct des CUK dans le contexte marqué par le Covid-19 dans un terrain de paludisme, c’est-à-dire la corrélation parfaite a été observée car le p<5% non significatif. Conclusion. Pour pallier à cette situation, nous proposons de renforcer les dispositions générales de prévention de la COVID-19 pour réduire l’impact sur les programmes du Paludisme, de mettre en place des stratégies générales et politiques nationales et de mettre en place des stratégies d’information, de formation du personnel, surtout infirmier et de communication en matière de COVID-19.

The sample size was 166 randomly selected from 6 towns in two local government councils in the FCT, Abuja. Primary and secondary data were used for the study and questionnaire and interview schedules were used to collect data from the respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were respectively used to analyse the objectives and hypotheses of the study. Results revealed that the average age, household size and farming experience of respondents was 43.01 years, 7 persons and 10.14 years respectively. Also revealed was the fact that female-dominated backyard livestock farming (76.51%), most (56.63%) of who were married and of secondary school educational level (51.81%). Most (71.69%) of them were into full-time farming and of Christian religion (59.64%). The majority (40.36%) of the farmers realized an annual income level of N100,001 - 200,000 and realized an average income of N194,578.31 on a per annum basis. Several benefits like provision of income (mean = 3.55), source of food to the family (mean = 3.40) and source of savings (mean = 2.87), amongst others were derived from backyard livestock farming. Most of the respondents were favourably disposed to the derived benefits derived from the farming practice even though they were confronted with some challenges like, lack of finance with a mean of 3.16, outbreak of pests and diseases (3.03) and theft (mean = 2.93), amongst others that plagued backyard livestock farming practice. However, socioeconomic variables such as respondents’ gender, age, marital status, education and farming experience were significant variables and related to the annual income earned from the backyard.

This paper explores the application of wayfinding principles in the proposed design of the Nigeria Immigration Service Command Office Complex in Durum, Bauchi State. Wayfinding principles aim to enhance navigation and spatial orientation within built environments. It investigates how effective wayfinding systems can enhance user experience, improve navigation efficiency, and support the operational needs of the complex. The research aims to identify specific wayfinding strategies tailored to the unique requirements of the Nigeria Immigration Service, considering cultural, environmental, and functional factors. The study adopted a qualitative research approach, involving a literature review and a case study of the Nigeria Immigration Service Command Office Complex. The findings will provide valuable insights for architects and planners in creating intuitive and accessible public service buildings in Nigeria by incorporating various wayfinding principles, including clear signage, distinct landmarks, and intuitive circulation paths. However, some areas for improvement were identified, such as the need for more prominent signage and enhanced visual differentiation between different sections of the complex. The study concludes that the intentional application of wayfinding principles can significantly enhance the usability and navigability of public buildings like the proposed Nigeria Immigration Service Command Office Complex, Durum, Bauchi.
