Izgradnja šumske ceste ekonomski je opravdana samo ako uzrokuje skraćenje srednjeg proklizavanja. Zbog te je činjenice određivanje srednje udaljenosti klizanja vrlo važno u pristupačnosti šuma. Ovaj rad predstavlja kratak pregled klasičnih i modernih metoda (računalom potpomognutih) za određivanje srednje udaljenosti klizanja. Kao područje istraživanja odabrana je Gospodarska jedinica “Plješevica” na kojoj je izračunata srednja udaljenost klizanja za nekoliko opcija mreže šumskih cesta metodom središnje točke – računalno potpomognutim.

The Bologna process thrusts forestry and forestry education into the context of an evolving global economy as well as worldwide concerns about environmental protection and climate change. It stimulates the integration of forestry into the framework of sustainable land-use practices and the combination of forest management experience with new scientific knowledge and research methodology. Forest professionals need a comprehensive educational background if they are to tackle rapidly changing social, economic and political problems. At the same time they need to understand the evolving and locally specific social and cultural aspects of forestry. This demands a joint approach to forest management, environment protection and landscape conservation. Maintaining the natural resource base and managing forests in a sustainable manner will require teaching programme combining policy and law, business economics and management, and forest resource and environmental economics components.

Hrast kitnjak (Quercus petraea Liebl.) u šumama Bosne i Hercegovine već duži niz godina je izložen brojnim negativnim uticajima. Poseban značaj u procesu odumiranja stabala hrasta kitnjaka ima hrastova imela - Loranthus europaeus Jacq. U ovom radu analizirano je prisustvo parazitske cvjetnice na stablima hrasta. Rezultati pokazuju značajnu pojavu imele u objektu istraživanja kao bitnog faktora destabilizacije šumskih sastojina. U odmakloj fazi razvoja poluparazita redovito dolazi do pojave ulančavanja drugih štetnih biotičkih i abiotičkih agenasa.

Prva inventura šuma na velikim površinama u BiH je provedena prije 40 godina, u periodu od 1964. do 1968. Druga državna inventura šuma je započela u 2006. godini, sa planom da se završi krajem 2009. godine. Šumskogospodarska oblast „Unska” na sjeverozapadu BiH je premjerena u 2006. godini, u prvoj fazi inventure šuma.

Ovaj rad sadrži skraćeno pojašnjenje inventurnih koncepata i podatke o glavnim taksacionim elementima za oblast Unsku, po glavnim kategorijama šuma i šumskih zemljišta, površina, zaliha i zapreminski prirast iz dvije državne inveture šuma koji su poređeni i prezentirani u ovom radu. Razlike u prikazanim podacima su značajne. Možemo sa sigurnošću reći da su se desile velike promjene tokom 40- godišnjeg perioda, u ukupnoj površini šuma i u stukturi površina po glavnim kategorijama šuma.

Površine šuma su se povećale za oko 35%, za više od 60 000 ha. Zaliha je takođe povećana sa 125,8 m3/ha na 248 m3/ha ili ukupno za više od 40 350 000 m3 sveukupne drvne mase.

Površine šuma su procijenjene na tri različita i neovisna načina. U drugoj inventuri površine šuma su mjerene interpretacijom satelitskih snimaka i na osnovu terenskih snimanja kroz broj ploha. Treći način se odnosi na sumiranje podataka iz važećih šumskogospodarskih osnova ovog područja. Razlike između podataka o površinama utvrđenih na tri različita načina nisu statističi značajne. Možemo zaključiti da je ovo važno pitanje utvrđivanja površina šuma i šumskih zemljišta riješeno na kvalitetan način i kroz terenska snimanja u ovoj oblasti i, s obzirom na to, pretpostavljamo da će biti kvalitetno urađeno i za cijelu BiH.

Mnogobrojne političke, ekonomske i sociološke promjene neizbježno utiču na način na koji ljudsko društvo percipira šumu kao prirodni fenomen i šumarstvo kao specifičnu ljudsku djelatnost. Nedovoljno razumijevanje promjenjivih zahtjeva društva prema šumi onemogućava njihovu integraciju u planske dokumente i kreiranje konzistentne šumarske politike. Posljedice takvog stanja su ozbiljne i po pravilu rezultiraju nezadovoljstvom javnosti načinom na koji se upravlja i gospodari šumskim resursima. Ovo pitanje je posebno naglašeno u urbanim sredinama u kojima stanovništvo odlaskom u šumu i boravkom u prirodi, na relativno jednostavan i jeftin način ”konzumira” različite sociološko-ekološke usluge koje u značajnoj mjeri smanjuju negativne posljedice svakodnevnog stila življenja u gradu. Istraživanjem zahtjeva stanovništva Kantona Sarajevo u odnosu na šumu došlo se do dragocjenih podataka o obrascu ponašanja tokom posjeta šumskim područjima, stavovima, razlozima boravka i interesima stanovništva u odnosu na šumu, ocjeni važnosti funkcija koje šuma pruža društvu, negativnim uticajima tokom boravka u prirodi i neophodnim korektivnim aktivnostima u cilju otklanjanja tih uticaja. Dobijeni rezultati mogu poslužiti kao smjernice za reorganizaciju poslovnih sistema šumarstva i kreiranje konzistentne šumarske politike u Kantonu Sarajevo, sa naglaskom na potrebu utvrđivanja i zadovoljenja zahtjeva stanovništva Kantona Sarajevo u odnosu na šumu, uzimajući u obzir promjenjivost socioloških, političkih, demografskih i ekonomskih faktora.

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2000 and Kyoto protocol in 2008. Although a Non-Annex I Party (developing country) to UNFCCC, but with its goals to EU accession, efforts have been made to set up appropriate guidelines, institutional and legal framework to meet the Convention commitments. Nevertheless, the political arena of BiH within the climate change context is still affected by the complexity of its administrative setup, lack of state level legislation, absence of coordination and inter- sectoral cooperation as well as inadequate enforcement mechanisms. Based on the social movement theory and the concept of advocacy coalition framework, the research results collected through a detailed analysis of media reports and questionnaire-based survey findings (based on the guidance of the COMPON project) explain the setbacks and describe the possibilities of social mobilization, formation of coalitions in the framing of climate change aspects as well as their influence within the wider milieu of the national policy discourse. The lack of information sharing and limited awareness among stakeholders has resulted in low social mobilization exercised around the issue, hence creating a perfect setting for a delay on progress in terms of clear climate change policies, adaptation and mitigation programs along with strategies for capacity building in the domain. Evermore, it keeps the domestic political institutions clinging to status quo, while current extent of activation of the society and networks to tackle the problem and have an effect on national policy processes remains fragile.

Secondary forest roads network or so-called technical infrastructure of the component should fulfill three important functions: (1) biological, (2) technical and (3) economical. By limitation of movement of working devices and loads via designed routes, the damages of soil and component have been minimized enabling their easier and faster movement. This results in more productive work with reduction of skidding costs and level of forest damages at the same time. The most important feature of tractor roads as the most frequent way of secondary forest roads network in Bosnia and Herzegovina is surely their longitudinal slope. The maximum allowed longitudinal slope of tractor roads should not exceed 12% if their conversion into truck roads has been planned for the future (Jeličić, 1983). On the contrary, the longitudinal slope of tractor roads should not exceed 16 % if the erosion activity of water and long-term usage of tractor roads have been taken into account (Jeličić, 1983), which is almost the rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina forestry practice. However, the maximum longitudinal slope of tractor roads in practice is very often higher than 30 %, which usually results with their fast ruining due to erosion impact of the water. In this article, at the selected forest area-department, the impact of the longitudinal slope of tractor roads and openness of a forest department and timber skidding costs have been analyzed.

This paper analyzes the health status of trees in the avenues of the city of Sarajevo. Special attention is paid to abiotic harmful influences, snow precipitation and mechanical damage of trees, as the initial factors of destabilization of their health status.

Sarajevo area is characterized by a moderate continental climate occurring as a result of the influence of central European climate from the north and the Mediterranean climate from the south and of the variety of the terrain. This type of climate is characterized by hot summers and relatively cold winters. Because of severe thermal influence of the Adriatic Sea autumn is warmer than spring. Distribution of precipitation in Sarajevo is characterized by summer (primary) and autumn (secondary) peaks. Specific weather conditions in this area, in some years, result in early or late snowfall the consequences of which are damages of vegetation cover.

The results of this research confirmed significant damages of the trees resulted from the adverse effects of snow in October 2009 (branches fractures, split of the stem and fracture of tree crowns). The resulting injuries are suitable openings for the penetration of rot causing microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) and colonization of insects which is why we can expect further deterioration in the health status of trees in the future. The paper suggests activities the implementation of which can reduce these harmful effects of biotic factors.

Chainsaw is the main tool for work, considering the terrain and soil in our country, in the process of the harvesting, and there is a big chance it will be the main tool in the future too. The goal of the research is to determine fuel and lubricant consumption of the chainsaw Husqvarna 372 XP, during the harvesting and making forest wood assortments, on the area of the Public enterprise forest, Vareš, section 37.

During the research, 50 trees of the fir and spruce have been felled. Range of the diameter was from 8 to 76 cm, and the volume of the assortments was 86.16 m3. Volumetric method is applied in the measurement of fuel and lubricants, with precise determination of how much fuel it was in the thanks.

Analysis showed that there is a strong correlation between consumption of the fuel and lubricant (L/m3) in relation to the size of the breast height diameter.

Average fuel consumption in the process of logging and preparation was 0.104 L/m3, while the average consumption of lubricant was 0.023 L/m3.

It is necessary to continue to pay great attention to the rationalization of consumption on fuel and lubricants, as well as reducing their harmful effects on humans and environment (introduction and usage of biodegradable fuels and lubricants).

Numerous studies have found that essential oils have significant inhibitory activity against human viruses, but there is scarce information on the effects of essential oils on plant viruses. In this study, effects of cajuput (Melaleuca leucadendron (L.) L.), common myrtus (Myrtus communis L.) and winter savory (Satureja montana L.) essential oils were assayed against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) by inoculation in different plant host systems. Antiphytoviral activity of the essential oils was determined by the half-leaf method using test plants: Chenopodium quinoa Willd., Cucumis sativus L. 'Cornishon' and Phaseolus vulgaris L. 'Top Crop'. Results showed that investigated oils posess strong antiviral activities. Among tested oils, the highest and broadest acitivity was shown by winter savory essential oil. Evidence suggests that investigated essential oils are possible antiphytoviral agents.

Total of 125,479 ha of different stated owned forest cultures were registered in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1990). Stability of forest even – aged stands and forest communities in genera has been endangered by damaging biotic and abiotic factors of local and global nature. The biggest damages on forest cultures have been caused by insects and fungi, biotic factors, and snow and wind, abiotic. The negative influence of global factors, that is, global climate changes has recently stood out.

The aim of this research was to determine of health status of forest even – aged stands. Research for the purpose of this work has been carried out in the territory of Forest management Jahorina, Pale with three forest even – aged stands: Norway spruce, Scots pine and forest even – aged stands of other coniferous (European larch and Douglas fir).

Research included 796 trees of Norway spruce, Scots pine, European larch and Douglas fir.

Presence of insects was identified on 15,58%; fungi on 2,14%, and mechanical damages on trunk and/or crown 11,06% of the total number of examined trees. Of the total number of examined trees, the share of mechanical damages on trunk and/or crown of trees is as follows: first crown, and then trunk. Share of trees with mechanical damages on both crown and trunk is rather small. Identified damaging biotic and abiotic factors do not cause significant damages on the analyzed forest even – aged stands.

This paper analyses the dynamics of diameter structure and height curves as the main indicators of a simple stand structure, uneven-aged multi-storied fir and spruce stands in the management unit „Igman“ where selective felling is applied based on the principle of positive selection. The data for analysis was collected by periodical measurement during fifty years on two permanent sample plots, forest sections 43 and 58. It has been determined that during the observation period there had been a change in diameter structure in the sense of increase in the proportion of trees in the lower, and decrease in higher diameter classes as well as the increase of tree height in the complete interval of empirical data. It has been concluded that due to selective felling, with higher diameter classes trees included, conditions have been created for the occurrence of new and the development of the existing young crop; diameter structures of a shape characteristic for even-aged stands have gradually assumed the shape characteristic for selective stands. Thus, due to the increase of competition among the trees of lower diameter classes and the felling of lower height and lower quality trees of higher diameter classes, there has been an increase in the height of trees of the same diameter.

The paper presents the distribution and diversity of macrozoobenthos composition of Bosna river up to Zenica, from 1999 to 2010. Macrozoobenthos has been chosen as an element of bioevaluation of the ecological state of running water, and according to the provisions of the Water Framework Directive. Sampling has been done by using the kick-sampling amd multihabitat method, a standard for hydrobiological research. The highest diversity of macrozoobenthos has been found in samples from the sites Rimski most (36 taxa), and the lowest was at site of the Bosna River upstream from the mouth of Ljubina river and downstream of the mouth of the Zgošća river (4 taxa). According to abiotic conditions which directly affect the composition of macrozoobenthos, and using Bray-Curtis similarity, the highest degree of similarity has been found in sites which are spatially nearby. Taxa number and EPT taxa number were highly correlated (R2 = 0,871). Saprobic index and BMWP index were calculated in assessing the ecological status of the river Bosna at the study sites. The values obtained comparing EPT taxa number and BMWP index show a high correlation (R2 = 0,706). The composition and the distribution of the macrozoobenthos in the Bosna river are conditioned by abiotic parameters. Sites upstream of the mouth of the Ljubina river and downstream from the mouth of the Zgošća river represent the places with the highest pollution which is the result of point and diffuse sources of pollution.

Springs are recognized as hotspots for freshwater biodiversity conservation. The study objective was to analyze and compare the biodiversity of epilithic diatom communities of spring and stream habitats in the Konjuh Mountain (B&H). The measuring of basic water physical and chemical parameters and diatom sampling were carried out during summer and autumn period in 2013.

Diatom assemblages were collected from 10 locations: (i) five locations were placed in small mountain springs that flow into headwater streams, where another 5 localities were placed. Diatoms were collected by scrubbing the rocks using standard methodology. Relative diatom cell abundances were established by counting up to 400 frustules on permanent slides prepared in Naphrax.

Spring habitats were more diverse in diatoms (H' loge =1.67 average) in comparison with headwater stream habitats (H' loge=1.15 average), which was confirmed by t-test (t=2.79; p=0.013). The similarities of community structure from different habitats were investigated by non-metric multidimensional scaling, on the Bray-Curtis similarity matrix in software package Primer 6.

Using Permutational Manova test, a different diatom composition was proved between spring and stream communities (Pseudo F=2.66, p=0.012), while the seasonal difference in the community structure was not confirmed (F=0.586, p=0.876). The most abundant and frequent species in spring habitats were: Achnanthidium minutissimum (Kützing) Czarnecki, Cocconeis pseudolineata (Geitler) Lange-Bertalot, Gomphonema pumilum var. elegans E.Reichardt & Lange-Bertalot, Meridion circulare (Greville) C.Agardh and Planothidium lanceolatum (Brébisson ex Kützing) Lange-Bertalot. The most frequent and abundant species in headwater stream habitats were: Achnanthidium minutissimum (Kützing) Czarnecki, Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta (Ehrenberg) Grunow, Cocconeis placentula var. lineata (Ehrenberg) van Heurck and Cymbella tridentina Lange-Bertalot, M.Cantonati & A.Scalfi.

In comparison with streams habitats, the springs are heterogeneous with specific diatom composition due to more stable water flow. Although the springs cover very small areas, the diversity of species that inhabit them must not be neglected in planning the use of these natural resources.

This paper presents the research results of the skidding productivity for the Ecotrac 120V skidder in mountainous areas of MU „Igmanˮ in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Time and work study were performed. Multiple regression analysis was used for determination of work operations time consumption depending on influencing factors. The following influencing factors were recorded: the condition of the tractor road (surface), the skidding distance, the winching distance, number of pieces in the load, the volume of the load and the slope of the tractor road. The share of productive time in the total work time is 58.47%. The average value of the influencing factors was established: unloaded travel distance 585.26 m, loaded travel distance 490.49 m, winching distance 16.83 m, number of pieces in the load 5.95, the volume of the load 5.17 m3 and the volume of the piece in the load 1.02 m3. The half-tree length method was used. Standard time for skidding and daily skidding productivity were expressed depending on the skidding distance, while average values were used for other influencing factors. The standard time for skidding was 6.57 min/m3 at a skidding distance of 100 m, i.e. 17.60 min/m3 at a skidding distance of 1,500 m. The daily skidding productivity ranges from 73.07 m3/day at a skidding distance of 100 m to 27.28 m3/day at a skidding distance of 1,500 m. Comparison of the daily skidding productivity with the results of other researches showed that the Ecotrac 120V skidder in this particular case realizes approximately the same skidding productivity under similar working conditions.

This paper presents the research results of benthos community (phytobenthos and macroinvertebrates) on three locations of the Neretva River: Glavatičevo, Žitomislići and Višići. According to typology of rivers, the site Glavatičevo belongs undertype 10a, while sites Žitomislići and Višići are undertype JIVT (heavily modified water bodies). Research of the benthos community has been done in December 2016 with the simultaneous monitoring chemical parameters of water. All research states showed a great number and a high diversity of benthic taxa, although sampling was spent in December. The saprobic values of benthos community at the site Glavatičevo indicates to oligosaprobic level, the water unloaded with organic substances. The site Žitomislići points to oligo/betamesosaprobic level, the water a bit loaded with organic substances. The site Višići according to phytobenthos demonstrates to oligo/betamesosaprobic level, while according to benthic macroinvertebrates point to betamesosaprobic level (the water loaded with organic substances). Based on saprobic values and chemical parameters of water in keeping with The decision on the characterization of the surface and underground water, reference conditions and parameters for the detection of water state and water monitoring (Official newspapers FBiH, No. 1/14), a maximum ecological potential has been registered on sites Žitomislići and Višići, while a high ecological status has been registered on the site Glavatičevo.

Este artigo objetiva analisar o papel da pedagogia universitária em projetos inovadores de duas universidades brasileiras. Assim, será avaliado como projetos inovadores podem cumprir sua função social e interagir com a pedagogia universitária (Cunha, 2005, 2006 e 2007; Pimenta e Anastasiou, 2005; Almeida e Pimenta, 2009; Veiga et al, 2012). Na metodologia, de base qualitativa, foram selecionados o projeto político pedagógico ou outros documentos que possibilitaram a compreensão da inovação bem como determinados sujeitos das instituições para serem entrevistados. Na análise, se constatou que as universidades estão inovando e trabalhando a pedagogia universitária. No entanto, esse trabalho é mais presente na instituição que tem no ensino sua atividade fundante, do que naquela em que este fica subsumido na atividade de pesquisador do docente. Como resultado, temos a instauração de uma cultura da docência e uma cultura mais voltada à pesquisa. Podemos concluir que é necessário aproximação da teoria/prática no que se refere à inovação e a pedagogia universitária pode contribuir de maneira fundamental, principalmente no tocante à formação docente, para o aspecto inovador do projeto.

Esta investigación analiza los procesos y metodologías docentes durante la pandemia y los espacios de enseñanza-aprendizaje-evaluación de la educación a distancia (EAD) en la educación superior en el equipo de salud. Se realizó una encuesta estructurada, autoadministrada y anónima, en línea a nivel nacional. Los docentes que contestaron trabajan más con estudiantes de grado, dan clases y evalúan con pantallas portátiles y celulares, un tercio compartidas, pagadas por ellos; más de la mitad no usaban TIC antes de la pandemia, y contaban con muy poca capacitación adecuada. Luego de la primera ola de la pandemia la mitad de los profesores responde estar capacitada en virtualidad y pedagogía; reconoció como fortalezas: “tiempo y espacio” y como debilidades: perfeccionamiento y la “dificultad del cara a cara en masividad”. A los docentes no les convence la EAD para el monitoreo ni para el acercamiento a estudiantes, consideran que se han cumplido objetivos indispensables: trabajando con mayor intensidad, más horas, desbordados y prefiriendo la presencialidad. Es más claro que nunca que el trabajo docente es irreemplazable y necesita revalorizarse. Se ha gestionado una crisis sin precedentes. La educación ha mutado. La información recabada en esta investigación propiciará la toma de decisiones para planificar mejores estrategias que faciliten el mejor uso de las tecnologías y la virtualidad que obviamente llegaron para quedarse.

Published: January 2022

To make dictionaries complete and to keep their size restricted, there is an approach in the linguistic world to equip these dictionaries with morphological information. This module of morphological information is usually known as a morphological analyzer or morphological classifier, which normally contains the complete possible linguistic information about each word for that particular language and it also describes the rules of derivations from the root of a word and its various inflections, respectively. In this work, a classifier for Urdu verbs (CUV) is proposed which is still a challenging research issue, as Urdu is a language of high inflection and derivation. The available stemmers for Urdu do not provide enough information about inflectional and derivational forms of words. Also, morphological classifiers available for Urdu are not worthy of handling various problems and delivering results that prune errors. In our work, a rule based CUV is designed which is able to classify 63 forms of Urdu verbs successfully out of 66. Available Urdu language processing tools are very rare compared to other higher inflectional languages such as German, Turkish, etc., which have competitive morphological classifiers. However, the studies related to Urdu verb morphological classification are identified and a comparative study is presented in this article. In short, this work is a positive contribution to the community, and it provides sufficient information with promising results specifically on inflectional and derivational forms of Urdu verbs.
Promoting Vertical Greening in High-rise Residential Buildings within Urban Areas

Published: January 2022

Same as many urban cites, Hong Kong is a densely populated area. To improve the residential environment, increase greenery coverage is a viable and economical solution. Despite the widespread interest in the application of vertical greenery, little application has been observed in residential developments in Hong Kong. Most research in vertical greenery focuses on the benefits and technical issues of the system. This study aims to identify the effective strategies to foster vertical greenery implementation in Hong Kong. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 60 architectural practices. Survey results indicate that the industry agrees on the benefits of vertical greening. While the high initial and maintenance cost was identified as a major obstacle to green wall implementation, several public policies were suggested to promote vertical greenery, including financial support from the government for the installation, provision of gross floor area concession, mandatory green wall installation in new buildings and funding support in related researches. The study contributes to a relatively sparse body of literature by investigating possible strategies to foster vertical greenery in an urban city. The findings shed light on the underlying problems and provide ideas on the promotion of vertical greening in Hong Kong and other urban areas.

A study was conducted to assess the growth and haematological parameters of japanese quails (corturnix cortunix japonica) fed dried corn silk- polyalthia longifolia leaf meal mixture. One hundred and eighty (one week) old Japanese quails were used for this study. Experimental animals which weighed between 18.03 and 18.16 grams were allotted to four dietary treatments of forty five quails per group in a completely randomized design. The basal feed was formulated to meet the nutritional requirement of quails according to NRC (1994). Four treatments groups had diets containing PLCSM at 0, 5, 10 and 15% dietary inclusion levels. Feed and water were provided ad libitum throughout the experimental period which lasted for 7 weeks The performance criteria were initial live weight, final live weight, total feed intake, feed conversion ratio, daily water intake and mortality while the blood profile includes the hematological. All the hematological parameters evaluated: Pack cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin (Hb), White blood cell (WBC), Red blood cell (RBC), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) were significantly(P<0.05) affected by the inclusion of PLCSM. Significant influences were also observed for final live weight, feed intake,daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, daily water consumption and mortality rate. The results of this experiment demonstrated that the inclusion of PLCSM up to 15% has no deleterious effect on the performance and health status of quailscn.bing.com

Infants who accompanied their mothers in prison were vulnerable to the consequence of malnutrition. So, a nutritional intervention program for those infants who deprived of outdoor facilities is a subject of interest. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of nutritional intervention on the growth of infants accompanying their mothers in prison. A quasi-experimental design was used (Pre and post-test). The study was conducted in Qanater Women's Prison in Egypt. A convenience sample of 30 mothers accompanying their infants in the above-mentioned setting was included. Three instruments were used: a structured interview questionnaire, an observational checklist, and anthropometric measurements. The findings of this study revealed that infant growth improved after the implementation of the nutritional intervention. In addition,, there were statistically significant differences regarding mother's knowledge and practices observed on posttest than on pretest. As well as, there were a positive correlation between mother's knowledge, practices, and infant growth. The study concluded that mothers gained more knowledge and had better practices on posttest following the adherence to nutritional intervention. In addition, their infants had better growth after the implementation of nutritional intervention. Therefore, it was recommended that nurse‟s officers should provide mothers in prison with periodical nutritional intervention to sustain their infants' growth. Special provisions must be in place to ensure that the child‟s rights are promoted and protected whilst in prison, Child welfare, rather than prison authorities, should have primary responsibility for making decisions regarding children in prison, and specialists in social work and child development should supervise their care.

The efficacy of synergistics of Solenostemonmonstachyus and Ocimumgratissimumfor the management of type -2 –diabetes using Zebra fishwas investigated. The plants were dried at room temperature, grounded and the powder pooled together, homogenized and extracted for 7 hours using the Soxhlet apparatus. A total of 75 zebra fish were used and were divided into five groups of five juveniles per test concentration in three replicates. Group A was given de-chlorinated water; B was treated with 0.25mg/L diazinon only while other groups were exposed to the same concentration as in group B, but with different concentrations of the plant’s extract. Group C, D, and E received 250, 500, and 750mg/L respectively. Water quality parameters and blood chemistry were estimated in the experimental and control fish on days 7, 14, 21, and 28th. All the blood parameters were significant P less than 0.05 affected by diazinon when compared with the control. But were reversible in the plant extract mixture treated fish and were dose and time-dependent reduction, even less than the control group. This finding had shown the efficacy of these plants’ extract and the use of zebrafish as a toxicological tool. Thus, the thorough study of these plants' mixture is indispensable, so as to find a lasting solution to the ailment that has been given people a nightmare.

Published: January 2022

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of feed added Coriander sativum leaf meal (CLM) on the growth performance viz., weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio, carcass characteristics, immune response and some blood parameters of quails. One hundred and eighty (one week) old Japanese quails were used for this study, the birds were reared in a wooden cage with dimensions of 1 × 1 × 0.4 m (length, width, height). They were divided into four dietary groups and each group was subdivided into three replicates of fifteen quails each. The groups were assigned to four diets containing 0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0% CLM. Feed and water were provided ad libitum throughout the experimental period which lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed that there was a no significant (P>0.05) difference in body weight, weight gain and feed conversion ratio between treatment groups. The relative weights of the organs examined were not significantly (P>0.05) different across dietary treatments. All the hematological and serum biochemical parameters evaluated: Pack cell volume (PCV), Hemoglobin (Hb), White blood cell (WBC), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC), Albumin, globulin, Aspartate aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase(ALP), Glucose, Urea serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the inclusion of CLM. Significant influences (P<0.05) were observed for immune response and mortality. The results of this experiment demonstrated that CLM can be included up to 6.0% level in quail rations without any adverse effect on growth performance, carcass characteristics and blood profile of birds.

Published: January 2022

Carbon nanotubes have been the focus of considerable research since their observation from 1991 onwards. The extensive basic studies performed by physicists and chemists in the processing of carbon nanotubes during the past decade have established a sound foundation for exploring their technological application. The exceptional mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes can be exploited in the development of nanotube-based composite materials that may far exceed the properties of existing fiber-reinforced composites. Nanocomposites of carbon tubes that have extraordinary specific stiffness and specific strength represent a tremendous opportunity for application in the 21st century. This paper provides a concise review of the recent advancement in carbon nanotubes and their composites. We examine the research work reported in the literature on the structure and processing of carbon nanotubes, as well as the characterization and modeling of the properties of carbon nanotubes and their composites.
Assessment of heavy metals contamination in soil due to leachate migration from open dumpsites in agbor area, delta state. Nigeria
Authors: Omoboriowo Adedayo Oluwatoyin
Published: January 2022

The concentration of heavy metals was studied in the soil samples collected around the municipal solid waste (MSW) open dumpsites in Agbor Area, to understand the heavy metal contamination due to leachate migration from the open dumping sites. The dumpsites receive approximately 300-400 tonnes of municipal solid waste. Solid waste characterization was carried out for the municipal solid waste to know the basic composition of solid waste which is dumped in the dumping site. The heavy metals concentration in the soil samples was analyzed. The heavy metal concentration in the collected soil sample was found in the following order: Fe>Zn>Ni>Cu>Pb>Cr>Cd. The presence of heavy metals in soil samples indicates that there is appreciable contamination of the soil by leaching migration from an open dumping site. However, these pollutants species will continuously migrate and attenuate through the soil strata and after a certain period of time, they might contaminate the groundwater system if there is no action to be taken to prevent this phenomenon.

The article presents the results of the study of osteological material from the early Iron Age hillfort Anashkino (Upper Dvina region, Pskov oblast, Russia). We present here a series of new facts, elaborating our ideas about the economic life, customs and traditions of the local population in this epoch. In total, 20647 determinate bones had been examined from the Anashkino hillfort from the VIII—I century BC cultural layers in 1999—2017. The osteological material is relatively well preserved. Freshwater fish played a significant role in the diet of people in the early Iron Age. In total, 407 individuals of eighteen species mammals were identified at Anashkino. Our analysis showed that the ratio of the live weight of wild and domestic mammals in the diet was approximately equal, and the butchering of animals took place directly at the settlement.

The article attempts to generalize the paleoanthropological data of the Saka period from the territory of Alai (Kyrgyzstan), collected over a long period, and a significant part of these materials has been offered for scientific discussion. Comparison of the male and female groups shows their significant similarity, both in average values and in the level and direction of variability. The Alai skulls contain two morphological complexes of characters. One of them is a mesobrachicranial, low-faced Mongoloids with low orbits, a wide nose and alveolar prognathism, expressed mainly in women group. Another morphological complex is characterized by dolichocrania and has a pronounced Caucasoid character of the Mediterranean type, which has local origin. In this case the increase of the Caucasoid characteristics towards the Mediterranean anthropological type is probably associated with ethnogenetic contacts with the Saka of the Pamirs. An analysis of the anthropological materials of the Saka period from the Alai made it possible to obtain new data, clarify the most important milestones in the ethnogenetic history of the Saka of this region and outline their connections with synchronous populations of the Early Iron Age.
