Numerical modelling of planned corner deposition in 3D concrete printing
Authors: El Abbaoui K. , Al Korachi I. , Mollah M.T. , Spangenberg J.
Published: August 2023

Analysis of different path planning strategies and the effects of changing printhead direction in the geometrical conformity and the process precision around 90 corner in order to enable a simple and cost-effective way of facilitating the determination of an optimal printing mode for fast and accurate print corners in 3D concrete printing.The material flow is characterized by a viscoplastic Bingham fluid. The printhead moves according to a prescribed speed to print the trajectory. The model solves the Navier-Stokes equations and uses the volume of fluid (VOF) technique. The acceleration steps and jerk (j) carry out the direction change. A smoothing factor is provided to smooth the toolpath. Several simulations were performed by varying the smoothing factor and jerk.Overfilling at the sharp corner was found when the printhead velocity was kept constant while extruding mortar at a fixed extrusion velocity; however, proportional extrusion velocity with the printhead motion has improved the quality of the corner. Otherwise, a slight improvement in the corner shape related to applying a jerk was found.The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model could take an important amount of computing time to solve the problem; however, it serves as an efficient tool for accelerating different costly and time-consuming path planning processes for 3D concrete printing. Smaller angles and tilted printhead positions should be numerically and experimentally investigated in future research.The developed CFD model is suited for executing parametric studies in parallel to determine the appropriate printing motion strategy for each trajectory with corners.Computational Fluid Dynamics investigation of the path planning strategy for printing trajectory with a right-angle corner in 3D concrete printing.

Authors: JAISWAL AMIT KUMAR , SUDAN VIKRANT , PARASHAR RAHUL , SHANKER DAYA
Published: August 2023

A comparison of 4 techniques, viz. blood smear examination, lymph node examination, PCR on blood and PCR on lymph node aspirate for the accurate and sensitive diagnosis of cryptic cases of BTT in water buffaloes, was made. These tests were laboratory standardized and later validated on 85 field samples of suspected bubaline hosts. Keeping blood smear examination as a gold standard for detecting actual number of confirmed positive cases, PCR on blood was 100% sensitive and 88.6% specific. When blood PCR was kept as standard, the lymph node biopsy and lymph node PCR were 90 and 86.96% sensitive along with 77.33 and 90.32% specific, respectively, in detecting theileriosis from suspected samples. The described PCR-based assay provides a valuable tool to study the epidemiology of BTT in buffaloes and some vital data regarding epidemiology of theileriosis in water buffaloes from semi arid parts of India was generated.

Authors: SRINIVAS BANDLA , SRINATH M
Published: August 2023

Study was conducted to evaluate the impact of dual organism probiotic supplement (DOPS) on different stages of lactation. Crossbred cattle (36) were divided into control (CG) and experimental (EG) groups with 6 cows each in early (calving to 100 d), mid (101 to 210 d) and late (211 to 305+ d) lactation. Straw intake in EG was improved in all stages of lactation compared to CG. CS intake in EG improved in early lactation by 4.8%. Although DM intake improved with DOPS, digestibility of nutrients did not change significantly. Milk yield in EG increased significantly in early (5%) and late lactation (47%) compared to CG. In contrary, mean 4% fat corrected milk (FCM) yield in EG in mid lactation reduced by 3% compared to CG. Unlike in early and mid lactation, milk fat (%) in late lactation increased significantly in EG compared to CG. SNF content in milk was below the standards for the cow milk in early lactation in CG which improved significantly in EG. Study concluded that DOPS improved straw intake and effective during early (up to 100 d) and late lactation (> 210 d).

Published: August 2023

The study was carried out to validate the anthelmintic efficacy of Sesbania grandiflora and to standardize the effective dose of the plant extract required for worm control in livestock. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to determine the direct anthelmintic effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of S. grandiflora towards mixed ovine gastrointestinal nematodes. Egg hatch assay for ovicidal and larval migration inhibition and larval development assay for larvicidal properties were used to investigate in vitro effect of extracts on strongyle egg and larvae. Faecal egg count reduction test was conducted in vivo to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the extacts administered orally @ 125, 250, 500 mg/kg to sheep naturally infected with mixed gastrointestinal nematodes. Aqueous extract of S. grandiflora demonstrated significant inhibition of egg hatch and larval migration @ 40 and 80 mg/ml. The ED50 value of egg hatch inhibition and LM50 value for larval migration inhibition were 1.489 and 0.683 mg/ml respectively. In faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), aqueous extract of S. grandiflora at 500 mg/kg caused significant reduction in eggs per gram (98.10 %) higher than the result obtained with albendazole (93.25 %). Although there were slight variations in the haematological parameters (PCV, haemoglobin, RBC and WBC) in all the groups between day 0 and 12, all the parameters were within the normal range reported for sheep. Except for blood urea nitrogen, overall mean of all the serum biochemical profile was within the normal range for sheep. Based on the results obtained by in vitro and in vivo assay, the aqueous extract of S. grandiflora possess anthelmintic activity and could offer an alternative source for the control of gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep.

Published: August 2023

Data pertaining to 3 trainings on artificial insemination (AI) were analyzed and 44 farmers constituted as the study sample. The respondents selected for the study were those who had earlier exposure to AI as they were doing it in the field but needed further refinement of skills. To study skill development in AI, the process was broken into different steps, viz. estrus check, washing of buffaloes, thawing, loading, passage of AI gun and important precautions. Each step was assigned scores of 10, 10, 10, 40, 10 and 20, respectively, by seeking the response from 30 scientists working in the Institute and LUVAS (Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar). Scores were assigned to each step and summated to arrive at final score of a respondent based on their skill of each step. Thus, individual pre- and post-training scores attained by the respondents during these training programs were calculated. Mean pre-training score of respondents was 51.36 while their post-training score was 67.73 out of 100. Thus, scores of respondents were worked for the AI process- before and after the training program. The difference between the pre- and post-training scores of the respondents was 6.56 (z=6.56), which was significant. Thus, significant gain in skill of the respondents who had undergone this training was observed.

Published: August 2023

A permanent field experiment is continued since 1984-85 at Research Farm, AICRP on Cropping Systems Research Unit, Akola, Maharashtra with a view to find out effect of integrated nutrient management on soil quality and productivity of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] -wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop sequence. The long term impact of organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management practices on soil quality and productivity were studied after 27th cycle (2010-11). The treatments comprised different levels of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), viz. 50, 75 and 100% and RDF in combination with farmyard manure, wheat straw, leucaena loppings and the farmer's practice. The results indicated that, application of 50% RDF + 50% N through FYM recorded highest sorghum (24.58 q/ha) and wheat (26.23 q/ha) grain yield as well as sorghum grain equivalent yield (61 q/ha). The uptake of N, P, K and S by sorghum (83.98, 23.14, 98.67 and 18.60 kg/ha) and wheat (96.17, 18.79, 74.69 and 13.53 kg/ha) was maximum with the integrated nutrient management. The improvement in soil fertility status was observed under the same treatment with concomitant increase in sustainability yield index (0.494) and soil quality index (2.33). The overall increase in the soil quality index (1.98-2.33) was recorded under INM, whereas only chemical fertilizers caused considerable decrease in the SQI (1.19-1.87). The hydraulic conductivity contributed substantially in governing sorghum yield (63.09%) and wheat yield (98.75%). The soil organic carbon contributed substantially in sorghum yield (29.01%). The parameters like hydraulic conductivity (94.7%), OC (5.14%) and DHA (0.07%) contributed in SQI.

Published: August 2023

Present study was carried out to screen 107 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of cross H567.71 (resistant) × WH 542 (susceptible) for Karnal bunt [Neovossia indica (Mitra) Mundkar] resistance and to identify and validate SSR markers associated with Karnal bunt resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). There was significant variation among the recombinant inbred lines for percentage and coefficient of infection to Karnal bunt. Most of the RILs (85) and (72) showed up to 5% infection during the year 2010 and 2011 and thus were resistant. The range of percentage of infection (PI) in the susceptible RILs was 5.19 to 22.93 and 5.38 to 36.46 in the year 2010 and 2011 respectively, whereas coefficient of infection on RILs ranged from 0 to 8.28 and 0 to 14.45 in the year 2010 and 2011 respectively. A total of 70 SSR markers were used to screen parental genotypes out of these 42 were polymorphic. Total of 88 alleles were detected, number of alleles per locus ranged from 2-3 with an average of 2.09 alleles per locus. Genetic similarity analysis showed that parental genotypes were quite distinct from each other. The cluster analysis led to distribution of parents and their RILs in to two groups. Major cluster I, included resistant parent H 567.71 with resistant lines and major cluster II had susceptible parent WH 542 and susceptible lines. The three primers (Xgwm 637, Xgwm 337 and Xgwm 538) which were already reported to be associated with Karnal bunt resistance also showed association with Karnal bunt resistance in population under study. A new marker (Xgwm 6) located at 1.6 cM from Xgwm 538 (on chromosome 4B) was identified to be associated with Karnal bunt resistance. These four markers were further used to screen on whole population and results were confirmed. Hence, these markers may be used for marker assisted selection for Karnal bunt resistance in early segregating generations.

Authors: Graham Nsiegbe , Opuene Davies Emmanuel , Chijioke Aniugbo
Published: August 2023

Prevailing incidences of secessionists struggles in Nigeria is noted to have led to increased insecurity in parts of Nigeria. This paper examines impact of secessionists struggles in the South-East on the security architecture of the country. The paper adopted the relative deprivation theory as its theoretical framework and relied mainly on secondary sources of data. As such, information for the paper was elicited via journal, articles, books, internet materials, completed research in related area and other documentary materials. Needed information was systematically and painstakingly retrieved to ensure not only accuracy but also enhance validity and reliability. It was revealed that a large chunk of security issues that the Nigerian security outfit grapples with more recently, are those emanating from secessionists struggles. And that these struggles, with particular reference to the South Eastern part of the country are instigated by the feeling of marginalization. The paper thus recommends amongst others; that the Nigerian government should establish an independent commission of inquiry that will consists of respected statesmen from both sides of the divide to conduct a transparent, comprehensive and impartial investigation into alleged unlawful killings and other human rights abuses of the South Easterners as well as other affected Nigerians, with the view to pacifying and reconciling all those involved, while also addressing key issues of concerns.
ARDL Approach to Government Revenue and Economic Performance of Nigeria: Post Structural Adjustment Programme
Authors: Jones Ebieri
Published: August 2023

This study examined effect of government revenue on economic performance of Nigeria during the post structural adjustment programme and extracted relevant data in Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin from 1986 to 2018. The data were transformed to annual growth rates and subjected to stationarity test using the augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test so as to ascertain the suitable analytical technique. It was found that percentage change in real gross domestic product was integrated at first difference while percentage changes in oil and non-oil revenue were each integrated at level. Hence, we employed ARDL Bounds test to examine the relationship of the variables and established that oil revenue has no short run effect on economic performance while on the long run, there was positive but insignificant effect on economic performance of Nigeria during the period studied. The result also established that non-oil revenue has positive insignificant effect on economic performance both on short and long run equilibrium positions. However, the study provided evidence that collectively, government revenue has significant effect on economic performance of Nigeria and therefore recommends that government should enact and implement the petroleum industry governance bill and employ revenue on critical infrastructure that would stimulate growth of the economy

Authors: Aniefor Sunday Jones Amahalu , Ndubuisi Nestor
Published: August 2023

This study examined the effect of capital market financing on economic growth in Nigeria from 2011 to 2020. The specific objectives of this study are to determine the effect of the explanatory variables captured with equity financing, bond financing and hybrid financing on gross domestic product (as a measure of economic growth). Time series data from 2011 to 2020 relevant to this study were collected from the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission, National Bureau of Statistics and Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletins. The Augmented Dickey- Fuller unit root test was employed to establish the stationarity of the variables. Descriptive statistics of the data was carried out while inferential statistics; Pearson Coefficient Correlation, Ordinary Least Square method of regression, Granger Causality test and Johansen Cointegration test were utilized in analyzing the models via E-Views 9.0. The findings were that, there is evidence of long run equilibrium relationship between capital market financing and economic growth in Nigeria during the period studied. The specific capital market financing variables; which are equity financing and hybrid financing hav e significant positive effect on gross domestic product at 5% level respectively while bond financing has a significant negative effect on gross domestic product of Nigeria at 5% level. It was therefore recommended that there is need for the government through the central bank to implement policy that will increase the level and size of equity finance in the capital market. The implication of the findings is that an increase in capital market financing will provide the needed funds for investors for further investments and hence increased productivity in Nigeria.

Film Preservation in the Digital Era: Pitfalls and Potentials
Authors: Ayoola Kudirat Ajoke
Published: August 2023

This paper highlights the pitfalls and potentials of digitization of film heritage in the archival domain. The largest issue encountered by the global archive community would be the recent transition from analog to digital technology in the capture, post-production, and distribution of cinematographic works. Due to the emergence of new platforms for access and the fact that digital copies are not susceptible to the same wear and tear as analogue film elements, digitization of historical films has the potential of enabling access on a larger scale. The conflict between the necessity to preserve originals and the need to offer access has been somewhat lessened by digitization. By acting as stand-ins for quick access or as backup copies in case original materials are lost or damaged, digital versions serve preservation functions. Also, negatives that are losing their information value can be preserved by digitization in order to extend access to them and preserve their content. The value of digitization as a preservation tactic has been hotly contested. Despite the benefits of digitization, there are significant technological, legal, financial, and curatorial obstacles or pitfalls that must be addressed in order to realize the potentials.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: In people with heart problems associated with the malfunction of cardiac electrophysiology, it is necessary to use the pacemaker device, the equipment through artificial electrical pulses in the heart muscle of the right ventricle replaces the physiological pacemaker. Objective: To carry out a careful reading of the existing literature on the pacemaker and its importance in the maintenance of cardiac physiology and, thus, to contribute to future studies in the area and to improve the quality of life of people who need the aid of the device. Methodology: This is descriptive research of the integrative literature review type, which sought to answer the attributions of the pacemaker in the maintenance of cardiac physiology. The research was carried out through online access to the National Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Google Scholar and EBSCO Information Services databases, from August to October 2022. Results and discussion: Two important aspects of the literature were highlighted in the research : 1) The advancement of technology that enabled the development of better, less invasive and more accurate devices and the improvement of techniques for tracking heart problems - resulting in a decrease in the number of pacemaker implants and an increase in the number of implants other devices - in addition to pacemaker actuation techniques that improved the way the device works and consequently the patient's physiological function; 2) The influence of the patient's level of knowledge and psychological issues on the effectiveness of the implant, as these variables have the power to act as stimulators and/or inhibitors of acceptance of the surgical procedure and in the post-surgical adaptation, collaborating or not for the treatment effectiveness. Conclusion: The success of pacemaker implementation depends crucially on the techniques applied, the technological level of the equipment - these have been perfected and improved over time - and the emotional tranquility of the patients, which mainly reflects in the post-surgical period, that is, in the process of acceptance and adaptation to the pacemaker.

Considering the evaluation phase as an important stage for the scientific area development and knowledge dissemination, this study aims to verify the criteria established by the main accounting journals in the evaluation process of the researches developed in Brazil. In order to do so, we used the existing instructions regarding the evaluation process of the studies sent to all "A" Qualis / Capes stratum and a journal of each lower stratum "B1", "B2" and " B3 " journals from the Accounting area. Thus, it was possible to identify the criteria, their definitions and also to make a comparative between the analyzed journals by which has been demonstrated the lack of uniformity in the criteria transparency, the objectives expected by them, and an evaluative isomorphism by the replication of the stratum criteria "A "Qualis / Capes by the magazines of stratum" B1 ", " B2 "and" B3 ". These results indicate, from the epistemological point of view, an as undeveloped stage of evolution yet in this aspect of the evaluation, as well as contribute to a better understanding of the form of occurrence of the Brazilian accounting research evaluation process, presented by the journals in their evaluation.

Published: August 2023

In this article, we sought to analyze the applicability of the parenting workshop in the Judiciary of the State of Minas Gerais, through a quali-quantitative approach, considering its characteristics and spatialization. To complement the analysis, by means of a case study, together with the CEJUSC workshops, in the District of Viçosa-MG, a scan was carried out in the Center's database and the questionnaires applied to the participants, at the end of the workshops, by the exhibitors were analyzed. The sample consisted of 74 respondents, who participated in workshops held between 2018 and 2019. The data were processed and analyzed using the GNU PSPP software, resulting in tabular and graphical analyses. The data obtained in field research with the Districts of Minas Gerais were projected on a georeferencing map, through the free software QGis 3.2.1, aiming at a spatial analysis of the object of study. As a result, it was found that, although the parenting workshop was implemented in Brazil in 2014, its application in the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais is still limited. In addition, although, in the perception of the public involved, the workshops held in the District of Viçosa-MG proved to be effective in resolving family conflicts, strategies are needed to expand the scope of the instrument and more empirical studies on this topic are needed.
Reflections on the penal state in Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Inaê Soares
Published: August 2023

This work aims to apprehend the elements that result from the passage from the welfare state in developed countries to what some contemporary authors, especially Loïc Wacquant, have come to call the Penal State. This model of State began to be defined and require systematic analysis and studies due to the unprecedented increase in the number of people incarcerated in the world, which signals punitive increases in mediations that concern social relations. However, some reflections around these analyses do not contemplate, at all, realities such as the Brazilian one, because some of its mechanisms are historical in the country. It is for this reason that this work seeks to point out some reflections regarding the debate on the Penal State in Brazilian society.
Communication and trans intelligibility: Reflections on the movements of transvestite subjects in the claim of citizenship and construction of other possible worlds
Authors: Santos Luan Correia Cunha
Published: August 2023

In this work, we seek to problematize gender roles as social constructions forged and reiterated in the repetitions of the technologies that form them, understanding that these act in a systematic and institutionalized way from the family, the school, the State, in the private and public spheres. With this, we reflect how the movement of subjects who move between genders seeks the recognition of their identities and the claim of citizenship, as well as how the (re)existence of these helps us to think of other constructions of possible realities, less violent and ignorant of diversity

Correlation between cloud cover and gamma rays at ground level in São José dos Campos, SP
Authors: Alves Mauro Angelo , Martin Inácio Malmonge
Published: August 2023

Simultaneous measurements made with a one-minute sampling interval of cloud cover at three height levels (250 - 2000 m, 2000 - 6000 m and 6000 - 8000 m) and gamma radiation counts obtained at ground level were carried out in May and June 2014. Results show that there is a degree of correlation between cloud cover and radiation counts. This correlation can be caused by the variation of the local amount of radon-222 gas, or by the production of radiation due to the acceleration of electrons originating from cosmic rays by electric fields inside clouds.
