Authors: Umaru Rimamnyang , Ronald Winifred Isemobhita Abhulimen , Iliya Andesiye , Aminu Tafida Mohammed
Published: October 2023

One of the key resources in effective management of National Parks is the knowledge base of the park staff. There is however little or no documented information about park official’s knowledge of the laws they uphold in Nigeria. This study assessed the knowledge base of Nigeria wildlife laws among park officials in Gashaka Gumti National Park (GGNP), Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used to administer structured questionnaire to 45 staff in the Head Office at Serti (HOS) and 140 staff in Main Park at Gashaka Gumti. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Majority (97.8%) had heard about wildlife laws and 136 (97.1%) understood the contents of the law. Majority 139(99.2%) knew the decree responsible for the establishment of national parks; however, a few could not distinctively identify the activities that constitute offences under this law. Majoriy (118 out of 185) rarely read the law in the park but by practice understood what constitutes offences in the park except for a few. For effective park management, proper orientation, education, training and re-training on the wildlife laws should be organized for the park officials at regular intervals.

Authors: Lawal Jibril , Sule Amiru , Sani Ashafa
Published: October 2023

In Nigeria, Banditry which includes kidnapping, is currently a national threat that led to the loss of lives, livelihoods, crippled economic activities, broken social cohesion and above all led to a massive displacement of people especially in Zamfara State. We present a deterministic mathematical model for controlling the spread of armed banditry using job creation, ()1ut and efforts to make armed banditry unprofitable, ()2ut. We formulate a fixed time control problem subject to the model dynamics with aim to obtain the suitable optimal combination of the two control measures that will minimize the cost of the control efforts as well as the incidence of the menace. The simulations was carried out using the estimate initial conditions and parameter values obtained from the existing literature and hypothetical values. The Pontryagin’s maximum principle was employed to characterize the optimality system and solve the system numerically. The results obtained on simulations suggests that the application of any of the controls is effective in decreasing the population profile of the informers and the bandits in a finite time. Furthermore when both controls are combined that is efforts to make armed banditry unprofitable ()2utshould be at upper bound for a longer duration when compared with the job creation control, ()1ut.
Effects of Fungi on The Spoilage and Nutritional Composition of Coconuts (Cocus nucifera) Harvested in Yenagoa Local Government Area and Its Relative Health Implications
Authors: Onu Benefit
Published: October 2023

Background and Objective: Fungal inversion of coconut endosperm is a factor that grossly reduces the economic, consumption value and the proximate composition of the coconut meat. The proximate composition of fresh and spoilt coconut endosperm and the most pathogenic fungi associated with the spoilage of coconut endosperm were evaluated in this study. Materials: Three mature fresh Coconut fruits were harvested from a subsistence coconut farm in Yenagoa city. Result: This study revealed that the proximate content of protein (9.80±0.02), lipids (38.75±0.02) and dry matter (92.72±0.02) in the fresh coconut are higher than the proximate content of protein (8.75±0.02), lipids (36.84±1.16) and dry matter (92.18±0.02) of the spoilt coconut endosperm. Minerals such as Ca (2.74±0.01), Mg (3.68±0.02), Na (3.75±0.02), K (6.76±0.02), Mn (0.250±0.002), Cu (0.58±0.02), Zn (5.85±0.02) and PO4 (2.56 ±0.02) in the fresh coconut endosperm are higher than Ca (2.72±0.02), Mg (3.66±0.02), Na (3.57±0.02), K (6.72±0.02), Mn (0.244±0.002), Cu (0.54±0.02), Zn (5.77±0.03) and PO4 (2.48±0.02) of the spoiled coconut endosperm. A significant difference between the proximate composition of fresh and spoiled coconut endosperm was observed. The endosperm (meat) of the coconuts were heavily invaded and decayed by a variety of fungi within 24 hours after cracking the shell and exposing the meats to open air. Fungal growth observed after exposure to open air are: Mucor, Rhizopus, Aspergillus and Penicillium. Conclusion: With the present of Aspergillus and penicillium in the samples evaluated in the laboratory, it implies that there are health implications associated with the consumption of spoilt coconut meat.

Effect Of Cleanliness On Corrosion And Toughness Of Powder Metallurgical Martensitic Stainless Steels
Authors: Olsson Elin , Lardon Jean-Marc , Stern Nicolas , Sundin Stefan
Published: October 2023

Martensitic stainless steels are highly alloyed in C, Cr and Mo for hardness and corrosion resistance and often in V for increased wear resistance. Due to the high alloying content, powder metallurgy (PM) including gas atomization and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is the best technique to eliminate segregation and thus to increase properties such as strength, fatigue resistance etc. However, further improvement of properties is made possible thanks to the recent developments of gas atomization process, which give very low levels of non-metallic inclusions. High cleanliness of PM material is well known to be critical for good polishing ability, fatigue resistance, strength etc. This paper describes results regarding the effect of cleanliness and heat treatment on the impact toughness and salt spray corrosion resistance of PM martensitic stainless grades containing 14 % Cr, more than 2% C and 10% Mo + V.

Siyasi Partileri konu alan bu çalışmamızda Cumhuriyet’in ilanından sonraki ilk 100 yılda gerçekleşen seçimlerde meclise girebilen siyasi partiler kronolojik olarak ele alınmıştır. Mecliste bulunan siyasi partileri derleyerek kaleme almamızın en önemli sebebi 100 yıl içerisinde Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nin siyasi partiler ışığında zaman içerisindeki değişimini ve dönüşümünü göstermektir. Bugüne kadar gerçekleşen seçimler ve meclisin faaliyetlerini ihtiva eden çalışmalar yapılmış olsa da bu çalışmalar meclisin değişim ve dönüşümünü net olarak belirtememiştir. Var olan çalışmalar da popüler kültür yazılarından öteye gidememiştir. Dolayısıyla bu konudaki akademik boşluk giderilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Çalışmamızın ana kaynakları ilk olarak Yüksek Seçim Kurulu raporlarıdır. Bu raporlardan hareketle meclise giren siyasi partilerin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. TBMM Tutanakları ile siyasi partilerin faaliyetleri göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. Aynı zamanda dönem gazetelerinde çıkan haberler siyasi partilerin oluşumu hakkında bilgi vermiştir. Böylece elde edilen bulgular bu alanda yapılan çalışmalarda yer alan akademik bilgiler ile desteklenmiştir.
Kolektif Belleğin Modern ve Postmodern Fazları: Karşılaştırmalı Bir Analiz
Authors: ÇELİK Gizem Ekin
Published: October 2023

Kolektif bellek, toplumsal grupların geçmişi, bugünü ve geleceği hatırlama, unutma, (yeniden) yorumlama, temsil etme biçimlerini; bu hatıraları toplumsal bellek haritalarında siyasallaştırarak yüzleşmeye hesaplaşmaya dönük teorik ve eylemlilik kapasitelerini imleyen bir kavramdır. Kolektif belleğin “çerçeveleri” yalnızca bireysel anılara anlam verme işi değildir; aynı zamanda bu anlam vermenin gerekliliği olan ve çoğunlukla kendilerini açıkla göstermeyen toplumsal ve iktisadi faktörlerin değişimlerini içerir. Kolektif bellek çalışmalarının modernizm ve postmodernizm ile ilişkisinin en temel önemi, belleğin temel parametrelerinde, zamanın ve mekânın algılanmasında, organizasyonunda yaşanan değişimlerdir. Bu makalede bu iki tarihsel süreçte kolektif belleğin temel bileşenlerinin geçirdiği dönüşüm odağa alınarak; kolektif bellek kavramının kendisinin ve bileşenlerinin dönüşümlerini tartışılacaktır. Bu doğrultuda amaç, kolektif belleğin dönüşümünün çok yönlülüğünü kavrayabilmektir. Çok disiplinli bir kavramsal, kuramsal kavrayışa sahip olan kolektif bellek çalışmaları için bu kavramsal süreci dönemsel bütünlük içerisinde takip edebilmek, kolektif belleğin sadece literatür boyutunun değil, geçmiş ve gelecek akslarının da netleşmesi anlamına gelir. Bu netleştirme kolektif belleğin süreklilik kapasitesini ve sosyopolitik hareket alanını da doğrudan etkiler

Published: October 2023

Thermal comfort refers to a situation where human feels satisfied with the environment's temperature. There is no absolute thermal comfort level that applies to all human, since it is a subjective situation that differ from one person to another. This study's objective is to identify Malaysian thermal comfort level and physical performances under simulation chamber experiment settings. Three young and healthy males with no medical issues were chosen as study respondents. There were four settings in this study; (i) 25°C with 70 RH, (ii) 34°C with 92% RH, (iii) 34°C with 74% RH and (v) 38°C with 83% RH . Respondents were required to imitate construction workers lifting task under the four environment settings. This study findings show a noticeable association between an increase in temperature towards heart rate level. As the temperature rises up, respondents mean and peak HR level also rises. Significant mean and peak HR were identified at 38°C for all respondents. In addition, respondents become fatigue and sluggish much faster at 38°C compared to 25°C and 34°C. The most notable decline in physical abilities was identified for Respondent A under 38°C setting. One possible reason for this situation is that respondent A Body Mass Index (BMI) is much higher than the two other respondents.

Published: October 2023

Economic inequality additionally influences entrepreneurial decision-making through interactions with social and institutional variables. Entrepreneurs in nations with extreme inequality confront extra difficulties, such as restricted access to formal institutions, mentorship, and networks. These elements have an impact on their strategic decisions, which include collaborations, financial sourcing, and involvement with governmental organizations. Understanding how economic disparity affects how entrepreneurs make decisions has significant ramifications for both the development of specific companies as well as the entire economy in emerging nations. The success, expansion, and resiliency of firms can be affected by the choices made by entrepreneurs as a result of economic inequality. Businesses may increase their productivity, provide job opportunities, and support economic growth by tackling the problems caused by economic inequality through inclusive policies and creative tactics.

Pulses in conservation agriculture: An approach for sustainable crop production and soil health
Authors: Narendra Kumar  , Mohammad Hashim  , CP Nath  , KK Hazra  , AK Singh
Published: October 2023

Conservation Agriculture (CA) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm in modern agriculture, emphasizing sustainable practices to enhance crop productivity while preserving soil health and natural resources. Conservation agriculture relies on three key principles: including minimum soil disturbances, permanent soil covers with crop residue and promoting crop/species diversification. Pulses possess unique attributes, such as biological nitrogen f ixation, leaf litter fall, nutrient-enriched crop residues, and a deep root system with enhanced rhizospheric activities, which make them conducive to CA principles. In the agriculture systems of southern Asia, the continuous practice of conventional input-intensive cereal-dominated production has largely contributed to soil degradation, depletion of underground water resources, and reduced land and water productivity, ultimately jeopardizing sustainable food production. Given this, researchers emphasize the pivotal role of crop diversification including pulses in the system in order to conserve natural resources, foster soil health, and sustain crop productivity. Experimental f indings from diverse agro-ecologies provide evidence that the integration of pulses in CA not only contributes to enhanced agricultural sustainability but also holds the potential to address food security and nutrition challenges in an era marked by climate uncertainties and environmental degradation. Given the growing significance of pulses in CA, there is a pressing need for more systematic studies across diverse agro-regions to maximize the benefits of CA. This article highlights the important role of pulses in CA, focusing on its potential benefits pertaining to sustainable crop production, resource conservation and soil health.

Es por esto, que educar sobre cómo tener una buena convivencia es el elemento más poderoso para prevenir la violencia escolar, y el mantener un clima escolar positivo permite aprender más y de mejor forma. Solo ver el medio en el que se encuentra una escuela es siempre un reflejo de la sociedad que la sustenta, y el momento social actual se ve especialmente complicado por diversos acontecimientos que vienen afectando a los estudiantes de forma personal inducidos por factores emocionales, cognitivos y sociales, que repercuten en su proceso educativo y formativo. Esta propuesta tiene como fin analizar de qué manera inciden los factores emocionales y sociales en el desarrollo de una sana convivencia, articulando los diversos intereses de los miembros de la comunidad educativa sin perder de vista la visión común establecida en los programas educativos de nuestras instituciones, De igual manera, se utilizaran estrategias de enseñanza asertiva para fortalecer los programas de vida infantil y juvenil en el ámbito escolar y dotar a los estudiantes de las herramientas necesarias para ver el presente y el futuro desde perspectivas multidimensionales y complejas

Zimbabwe entered the 21st century experiencing an economic decline. This has had a great bearing on the country’s youth in terms of employment. Young people in urban areas have been especially badly affected. The cause of such a high unemployment level has been a contentious issue. Contending issues have centred around, on one hand, the external environment impinging negatively on the Zimbabwean economy and on the other hand a failed state and economic mismanagement. Rising unemployment has had various impacts on the young people’s economic, political and economic plight. This research analyses the various competing factors that have led to unprecedented levels of urban unemployment in Zimbabwe in the 21 st century. It also considers the effects of unemployment on Zimbabwean society as a whole and suggests ways of dealing with this problem. Methodologically, the research relies on secondary sources and relies on already existing and available interviews in the media.
