Authors: Dunkwu-Okafor Afamefuna , Obayagbona Omoregbe Nosa , Odigie Omorede
Published: October 2024

The heterotrophic and haloxyfop-R methyl ester utilizing fungal counts associated with two top soil samples was determined. Five (5) fungal isolates; Aspergillus niger, Candida sp., Trichoderma sp., Fusarium sp., and Alternaria sp. Were cultured from the soil samples using serial dilution as well as pour plate techniques. These isolates were sub-cultured and screened for their ability to use haloxyfop-R methyl ester as sole source of metabolic energy as well as using the turbidimeteric method. Two of the screened fungal isolates which exhibited maximal optical density (OD) difference values; A. niger and Fusarium sp. Were selected and utilized for the subsequent degradation/shake flask experiment. Growth profile parameters which included; pH, OD, dissolved CO2 and weighed dry fungal biomass were determined during the growth profiling test at a 96 hour interval for 16 days using appropriate methods and equipment. Mean soil pH values were 5.08 ± 0.02 and 4.62 ± 0.02 for samples A and B. The mean total heterotrophic fungal count was 8.7×10³ cfu/g ± 1.5 for A and 1.6 × 10⁴ cfu/g ±1.0 for B. The mean pH value observed for A. niger in the course of the growth profile test ranged from 6.0 ± 8.7 to 7.3 ± 8.0 and 7.3 ± 5.8. The mean OD values observed for A. niger and Fusarium sp. In the course of the shake flask experiment varied from 0.66 ± 7.1 to 1.96 ± 4.5 and 1.62 ± 5.4 to1.99 ± 3.6 respectively. With reference to the detection of mean dissolved CO2 values, utilized as an indirect indicator of herbicide mineralization, the axenic cultured A. niger was the most effective amongst the growth profile fungal cultures.

Published: October 2024

Because of recent availability of remote services and resources, remote user authentication becomes an essential component of all digital environment. Remote user login authentication is the process of validating the identity of a user. Users present their credentials, such as username and password, as evidence of their identity. The most practical and effectively implemented remote user authentication scheme is the smart card-based one, however, because it is expensive to acquire and operate smart card facilities, users may find it challenging to employ smart card authentication schemes in remote environments. Mobility and simplicity of acquisition—especially for remote access—are the benefits of using this external memory. Therefore, this research performs comparative analysis of these remote user authentication schemes based external memory. The schemes are first evaluated for security features and performance in terms of computation cost. The results of analysis shown that Buhari et al.’s scheme has the highest security feature and is the only scheme that uses light-weight tamper resistance client file, followed the reviewed Kumari et al.’s scheme which is the only scheme that handles user privacy. The most efficient scheme is Buhari et al.’s scheme followed by Rhee et al.’s scheme.

Enhancing Sustainable Communities through the Protection of Natural Buffer Zones
Authors: Faryadi Masoud
Published: October 2024

Certain regions within Middle Eastern countries are vulnerable to climate-related hazards, including floods and dust storms, resulting in adverse consequences for these nations and hindering the sustainable development of urban communities. The preservation and development of natural buffer zones, such as green spaces and surface waters, offer nature-based solutions to shield urban areas from the impacts of these hazards. This article examines the significance and legal protection of these buffer zones and concludes that, despite their effectiveness in mitigating floods and dust storms, natural buffer zones have not received distinct recognition as protective zones for urban areas in international and national legal frameworks. The study recommends the integration of natural buffer zones preservation and development into national and regional urban planning and disaster risk management policies and strategies, highlighting their role as nature-based solutions for enhancing urban sustainability in the Middle East, especially Iran.
Importance of Eco-Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Climate Action and LowCarbon Transition in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Nigeria
Authors: Ilesanmi Josephine
Published: October 2024

Climate change poses socio-economic, legal and environmental vulnerabilities such as land degradation, biodiversity loss, loss of property and livelihood, increase poverty rate and a threat to public health. These impacts are said to only intensify with projected increase in population and global economic growth. Hence, global consensus advocate for decarbonisation and low carbon transition in all economic sectors as an effective mitigation strategy for climate change. In an attempt to lower carbon emissions, leading cooperation’s and organizations have focused on mitigation projects that regulate activities of cooperate actors and big CO2 emitters such as the oil and gas conglomerates. However, the United Nation Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) promotes a transformative bottom-up approach to address climate change via localism and citizen participation to educate and train eco-entrepreneurs or ecopreneurs who participate and engage in strategic entrepreneurship projects designed to actively decarbonize economies. These ecopreneurs generate home-grown sustainabilityfocused small and medium scale eco-enterprises (SMEEs), also called energy citizens, ecological citizens, energy communities and co-operatives that can develop sustainable business model innovations, nature-based services and solutions, sustainable business management strategies, technologies and green jobs needed to drive the low carbon transition in key CO2 -emitting economic sectors such as the energy, agriculture, transportation, waste management, food, tourism, building and architecture and fashion industries. This article examines the characteristics, nature and benefits of eco-entrepreneurship as a tool for advancing climate action and low carbon energy transition. Using Nigeria as a case study, a profile of the barriers slowing the growth of eco-entrepreneurship is identified within the PESTEL framework. Furthermore, drawing examples from the U.K. governance landscape and portfolio, recommendations on a transformative yet contextual strategy captured in the five transformative features (diversity, connectivity, polycentricity, redundancy and directionality) are made to interrogate and overcome entrepreneurial ecosystem barriers towards successfully supporting the rapid growth of eco-entrepreneurship.

Authors: Chehbouni Ghita
Published: October 2024

Morocco, a North African nation known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes, has been actively pursuing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to guide its development efforts1. The country has made significant progress in aligning its national development strategies with the SDGs, particularly prioritizing goals such as quality education2, clean water and sanitation, and clean energy3. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SDGs implementation in Morocco, highlighting achievements, challenges, and future prospects. (Smith, 2020). The SDGs, adopted by the United Nations in 20154, represent a global commitment to address pressing challenges including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. This review provides an analysis of the SDGs' effectiveness in driving positive change across various dimensions5. By examining academic literature, reports, it evaluates progress towards achieving the SDGs, identifies key implementation challenges, and assesses potential for successful realization. The article explores how effectively Morocco aligns its policies and addresses implementation challenges to achieve the SDGs by 20306, considering factors such as cultural diversity, economic structures, and geographic disparities. The integration of the SDGs into Morocco's development agenda presents both challenges and opportunities. By addressing issues like adaptation, inter-sectoral coordination, data availability, climate resilience, and policy integration, Morocco seeks to overcome these challenges. Understanding these obstacles and their solutions is crucial for assessing the relevance and effectiveness of SDGs' implementation, ultimately contributing to Morocco's sustainable development journey by 2030.

Published: October 2024

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region grapples with pressing environmental challenges such as water scarcity, desertification, and climate change. However, within these challenges lies the potential for sustainable development. A paradigm shift in environmental education for sustainable development is imperative to address these issues effectively. Environmental education plays a crucial role in instilling resilience in the face of climate change and natural disasters that increasingly impact the region. Redefining EE through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) can act as a catalyst for positive change. Integrating ESG principles into education empowers citizens not only to understand environmental issues but also to lead sustainable lives and contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Accessibility to environmental education should be universal, transcending gender, socioeconomic status, and geographical location. Leveraging technology and digital platforms can significantly enhance the reach and impact of environmental education. Methodologically, this article employs a conventional literature review approach, conducting a desktop research to comprehensively examine the existing body of publications related to environmental education for sustainable development in the MENA region. The review explores current environmental educational approaches applied to achieve sustainable development in the MENA region. Subsequently, it introduces alternative approaches that leverage ESG principles consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to redefine the current status quo. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for a paradigm shift in environmental education in the MENA region through the integration of ESG principles into the curriculum, promotion of collaborative governance and inclusivity, the region can nurture a new path of environmentally conscious citizens poised to contribute to sustainable development.

Published: October 2024

Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) especially the highly pathogenic subtype H5Nx causes Avian Influenza (AI) disease and it is a major threat to  the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Vaccination is one of the control measures in many countries, though restricted in  Nigeria. As such, some poultry farmers secretly employ imported H5 and H9 AI vaccines to vaccinate their chickens. This study investigated the antigenic quality of these imported vaccines. Four imported vaccine brands were tested using Hemagglutination (HA)  test and Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RTPCR). All four vaccine samples tested negative in the HA test, indicating a  lack of detectable HA antigen titer. Similarly, RT-PCR failed to amplify the targeted region of the viral matrix gene in any of the vaccine  samples against reference control. These negative results are of great concern and suggest that the imported H5 and H9 vaccines lack  essential antigens that could stimulate antibodies. Thus, potentially rendering them ineffective against circulating AI subtypes. The failure  in antigenic quality could be due to myriads of factors including improper storage, transport (often due to illegal import), or  limitations in the original vaccine production process. Regardless of the specific cause, these findings highlight the potential risks  associated with the use of unregulated vaccines. Poultry farmers who use these imported vaccines may be incurring unnecessary costs  while receiving a false sense of security for their flocks. In conclusion, due to the apparent lack of efficacious antigens, we suggest a  quality monitoring of imported H5 and H9 vaccines in Nigeria for compliance with local regulations on vaccine use, biosecurity measures  and investigation into the root causes of the vaccine failure observed in this study.

Anthocyanin is one of the phenolic compounds found in various parts of plants. Its study has become an area of scientific exploration due to reports gathered on its reactivity, bioactive properties, and usefulness in pharmaceutics, agriculture and food production. This study investigated recently characterized anthocyanins to identify variations based on plants, plant parts, the ligand characteristics of the isolated anthocyanin, and the need for quick reference for natural product chemists in the areas of isolation and synthesis. The in vivo and in vitro metal anthocyanin complexes (MAC) were investigated to expand isolated compounds, synthesis, characterization, and study probable kinetics involving new MAC and its applications. The data reviewed was obtained from research reports found on the Web from 2014 to 2023. Results of the reviewed studies indicate anthocyanins have been isolated and characterized from different plants and all plant parts: leaves, pulp, seeds, peels, stems, and roots. The anthocyanidins (aglycone) have been derivatized through hydroxylation, methylation, glycosylation, and acylation due to the presence of many reactive centers, producing over 800 forms of anthocyanins characterized to date. Chelation of anthocyanin in vitro has been studied with several metals and metalloids, using the outcome in some cases to monitor and re-produce compounds formed in vivo. Several applications of anthocyanins and MAC have been found and are still under investigation, anthocyanins and its derivatives are being screened for ethnobotanical roles and their random applications in other human endeavors.

Implementing pharmacopoeias in colonial empires: The British experience, 1864-1932
Authors:   London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom, Anderson Stuart
Published: October 2024

The development and use of pharmacopoeias have now been extensively studied by scholars in many countries. Yet their adoption in the colonies of European and other imperial powers has received surprisingly little attention from researchers. Contributions by members of the International Society’s Working Group on the History of Pharmacopoeias have thrown some light on the issue, and a small number of studies have been carried out in particular colonies. This contribution outlines how insights from a review of experience in the colonies of other European imperial powers might inform a study of the development of pharmacopoeias in Britain and their implementation in its empire.

Published: October 2024

Research has been carried out on the distribution of chlorophyll-a in the waters of Bone Bay during high wave events based on the parameters of sea surface temperature, wind speed and ocean currents. The aim of this research is to analyze parameters related to high waves which influence chlorophyll-a concentrations in the waters of Bone Bay. Chlorophyll-a patterns in Bone Bay waters were studied based on Aqua MODIS satellite data for chlorophyll-a data and ECMWF for wind speed, sea surface temperature and ocean current data. The average value was determined using Aqua MODIS and ECMWF satellite data for 10 years from 2011 to 2020. These parameters were analyzed to determine the correlation with chlorophyll-a. The calculation results show that sea surface temperature and wind speed decreased after high waves, while ocean currents and chlorophyll-a increased after high waves in Bone Bay waters. The correlation between chlorophyll-a and wind speed is 0.15, with sea surface temperature -0.44, and with ocean currents -0.26. Spatially, high concentrations of chlorophyll-a are found in the coastal waters of the South Sulawesi region with chlorophyll-a concentrations reaching 0.4-5 mg/m3. Temporally, high chlorophyll-a concentrations occur after high wave events with an average chlorophyll-a concentration of 0.32 mg/m3.

Антропологические воззрения протоиерея Феодора Голубинского
Authors: М.И. Жигалов
Published: October 2024

Элементы христианской антропологии богословской концепции прот. Феодора Голубинского изложены в его сочинении «Умозрительная психология». В указанном сочинении, о. Феодор отвечает на вопрос о сущности человеческой души, рассматривает жизнь души, касаясь и области мистического опыта. Антропология о. Феодора традиционно строится на догмате о богоподобии человека. Он делит умозрительную психологию на два отделения: 1) о сущности души и ее свойствах: здесь автор говорит свойствах Божиих, которые в ограниченном виде могут быть сообщены человеку как творению Божию; 2) о происхождении души и разных периодах ее существования: о земной и загробной жизни человеческой души.

Elements of Christian anthropology of the theological concept of Archpriest F. A. Golubinsky are set forth in his essay “Speculative Psychology”. In this essay, Father Theodore answers the question about the essence of the human soul, examines the life of the soul, touching the area of mystical experience. The anthropology of F. A. Golubinsky is traditionally based on the dogma of the god-likeness of man. He divides speculative psychology into two sections: 1) about the essence of the soul and its properties: here the author speaks of the properties of God, which in a limited form can be communicated to man as a creation of God; 2) about the origin of the soul and different periods of its existence: about the earthly and afterlife of the human soul.

В статье на основании опубликованных, неопубликованных и архивных материалов рассматриваются причины отказа от религии воспитанников Морского корпуса (училища), поступивших в него в 1913 г. и окончивших в марте 1918 г. Рассмотрев историю домовой церкви корпуса, правила религиозного воспитания, мировые события 1914–1918 гг., возрастной подростковый кризис автор пришел к следующему выводу. Воспитанники, отказавшиеся от веры в Бога и принявшие идеи большевизма, не смогли пройти подростковый кризис и обрести эго-идентичность, то есть, тождественность самому себе, что заставило их поверить в новые революционные идеалы, заменившие им веру в Бога.

Based on published, unpublished and archival materials, the article discusses the reasons for the refusal of religion by pupils of the Naval Corps who entered it in 1913 and graduated in March 1918. Having considered the history of the house church of the corps, the rules of religious education, world events of 1914–1918 years, the age-related adolescent crisis, the author came to the following conclusion. Pupils who refused to believe in God and accepted the ideas of Bolshevism could not go through the teenage crisis and gain ego-identity, that is, identity with themselves, which made them believe in new revolutionary ideals that replaced their faith in God.

Dilema da moral tributária: método de análise de cluster a respeito da restrição de isenção de imposto sobre a importação pelo Regime de Tributação Simplificada
Authors: Pasetti Marcelo
Published: October 2024

O descontentamento com a tributação é um terreno favorável para a sua resistência, diante de uma forte tradição de hostilidade em relação à coerção do governo. Esse dilema moral está associado ao conflito de interesses: de um lado, está a confiança no Fisco; e, de outro, o comportamento adotado pelo contribuinte, que não tem interesse em cumprir leis mal concebidas em comparação a leis justas. Para tanto, discorre-se sobre a complexidade tributária da restrição de isenção de imposto sobre a importação por pessoas físicas pelo Regime de Tributação Simplificada. Metodologicamente, a discussão se dá a partir das ideias de Benno Torgler, Friedrich Schneider e Christoph A. Schaltegger no que diz respeito às considerações sobre moral tributária, perfil do contribuinte e economia paralela e, ainda, recorre-se às diretrizes elencadas por Nils J. Nilsson, sobre a análise de cluster em um sistema especialista.

SÚMULAS 269 E 271 DO STF. MUTAÇÃO DO MANDADO DE SEGURANÇA EM MATÉRIA TRIBUTÁRIA E SUPERAÇÃO PARCIAL (OVERRIDING)
Authors: Terra Machado Milton
Published: October 2024

Investiga-se no presente trabalho as razões que deram origem às Súmulas 269 e 271 do STF e sua aplicação ao atual mandado de segurança em matéria tributária, diante da mutação deste pela perda do caráter interdital. De fato, o entendimento do STF, que considera sine qua non o regime de precatório para qualquer período certificado pela sentença que reconhece o direito de restituição tributária, eliminou sua mandamentalidade, tornando inaplicáveis as referidas súmulas nos casos em estudo, já que inadequadas, também, para a compensação. Conclui-se que o STJ pode e deve operar, formalmente, a superação parcial das súmulas nestes casos, ocorrendo o que se conhece por overriding.
