Introduction: Maluku is an area with an archipelagic character because the ocean is more expansive than the land so natural resources in the sea need to be preserved.Purposes of Devotion: To provide legal understanding to the community about their participation in environmental conservation, in this case, natural resources in Ambon Bay. Method of Devotion: The method used is legal counseling to the community and action to villages and traditional villages that are service partners.Results of the Devotion: It is known that the community does not yet have a high awareness of environmental conservation, in this case, the ocean. This can be seen with the garbage found in Ambon Bay. Thus, the ocean has not been interpreted as an area that produces natural resources for now and the future. In contrast, the village government as the bottom line of government has made efforts to appeal to the community.

Interaction between the incidence of Prodiplosis longifila Gagné (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) and management practices in tomato crops in Manabí, Ecuador
Authors: Bolívar Gonzalo , Cañarte Ernesto , Duicela Luis , Navarrete José
Published: November 2022

The insect pest Prodiplosis longifila Gagné (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), causes severe losses to the tomato crop in Ecuador, in the provinces of Manabí, Pichincha, Carchi, Cotopaxi, Azuay, and Chimborazo, where the main producing areas of this solanaceous crop in the country are located. The objective of this research was to study the interaction of the incidence of this pest with tomato crop management practices. The evaluations were carried out in twenty-five production units in different cantons of Manabí: in Bolívar (two), Portoviejo (eight), Rocafuerte (five), Santa Ana (one), Sucre (three) and Tosagua (six). Each unit had an area of 2500 m2, where 25 plants were randomly marked and the number of healthy, infested and damaged shoots was recorded, as well as the number of healthy and damaged fruits. In addition, a survey was applied to growers to determine the management practices carried out during the crop cycle. Descriptive analysis, significance tests, hierarchical clustering and chi-square tests were carried out. It was determined that in the cantons of Portoviejo, Tosagua and Rocafuerte, infestations did not exceed 13 % and a severity of up to 15 %, reaching 25 % of damaged fruit in Tosagua. The agronomic practices applied were trellising, drip and gravity irrigation, collection of infested fruit and chemical insecticides. There was an interaction with P. longifila between infested fruit collection and trellising, which influenced its infestation and severity, respectively. These incidences were significantly high at harvest, where highly toxic insecticide applications were substantially increased indiscriminately.

JAPAN-KENYA RELATIONSHIP, THE HUMAN SECURITY CONCEPT AND KENYA’S BIG FOUR AGENDA
Authors: Kivisi Felister Saliku
Published: November 2022

Purpose: This paper sought to explain the concept of human security as a pillar of Japan’s foreign policy and to examine the implementation of Japan’s foreign policy in its bilateral relations with Kenya specifically by provision of debt aid. In so doing, it sought to highlight Japan’s contribution to Kenya in promoting human security by providing debt aid and highlight Kenya’s own big four agenda that puts in place measures to enhance human security.Methodology: The methodology used in this paper entails desk research using secondary sources of data and reviewing existing published scholarly works of various authors and ongoing research as well as employing an empirical study of Japan’s relationship with Kenya. Information on the Japan-Kenya relationship has been derived from various Kenya government documents from the National Treasury and Planning Ministry.Findings: The study shows that, indeed, Japan has been a close development partner to Kenya and has, from Kenya’s independence in 1963, extended substantial foreign aid, in terms of debt, to Kenya and has contributed to promotion of human security. Second, Kenya’s vision 2030 is in line with the human security concept as encapsulated in the ‘Big Four agenda’ and Japan has an opportunity of assisting Kenya in its implementation third, Japan’s foreign policy’s implementation with emphasis on the concept of Human security has had a positive impact on Kenya’s economic development over the years as the debt given to Kenya has gone into undertaking projects that address human security..Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The realist theory argues that states are the most important actors in the international system and that world politics is driven by competitive self-interest of these states. Interest is defined in terms of power and more specifically military capabilities. This paper’s contribution to knowledge is from the review of the Japan-Kenya bilateral relations which indicates that Japan has operationalized the human security concept through extending ODA to Kenya, specifically to this study is debt aid, for projects that benefit the individual who, as an actor under the human security concept, is of significant importance. While states continue to remain the centre of focus of international relations, the concept of human security and how Japan has used it to underpin its foreign policy has generated benefits for countries such as Kenya. Policy makers of developing countries, especially in the foreign policy space, would benefit from this knowledge and pursue the beneficial aspects of human security for the benefit of their countries.

Authors: Tu Vi Sa
Published: November 2022

The environmental sensitivity maps would be envisaged as an elaborated scheme exchanging knowledge among numerous stakeholders at decision-making and execution levels. Local knowledge, scientific knowledge and public knowledge are required to associate toward the development of environmental sensitivity maps, particularly the identification of shoreline types and its sensitivity; compiling biology, human-use resource information; ranking, prioritising sensitive sites and resources at risk. Especially, the value of local knowledge has been recognised over time and the need for its effective integration into research and development has grown significantly. One of the options to enhance the role of this knowledge should be participatory tools emphasising researchers-facilitation to obtain indigenous perceptions as well as increase environmental sensitivity maps adoption in the planning, regulatory community in islands and coastal areas.

Published: November 2022

This study explores the effect of governance structure, ICT infrastructure, physical infrastructure, and terrorism on tourism receipts for 102 countries. The study uses 18-year data ranging from 2002–2019. To test the relationship among variables in the short and long run, Panel ARDL is employed. Furthermore, this study extended the analysis by dividing the overall sample into five regions and four income groups. Results revealed that all variables are cointegrated. Pooled Mean Group model’s results show that physical and ICT infrastructure significantly impact tourism. Governance structure matters in high-income countries only. However, surprisingly terrorism incidents were not negatively affecting tourism receipts in the low and lower-middle-income countries. Terrorism was negatively impacting tourism in upper-middle-income countries only. Furthermore, ICT, physical infrastructure, and governance significantly affect tourism in different regions of the world. The causality test suggested unidirectional causation from tourism to terrorism and bidirectional causality for physical infrastructure and tourism. This study has important policy implications for all tourism and travel industry stakeholders.

Authors: Sabo Nelson Pandi , Torsen Emmanuel , Martins Danladi , Muhammad Modibbo Umar
Published: November 2022

In the modern economics, one has to choose financial strategies for investment and expenditure to optimize the expected utility over the subsequent lifetimes. In this article, the Lagrange multiplier method was used to derive a mathematical formulation to work out an optimal solution for a 4-period overlapping generation model with autonomous consumption to maximize a lifetime utility for households subject to age-specific inter-temporal budget constraints. Also, the Cramer's rule is used in finding the critical point where utility is maximized. Further test for sufficient conditions has been carried out using the Hessian determinants to check if there is a local maximum in the critical point C, where the utility is maximized. The inter-temporal marginal rate of substitution was implored to show the future growth path of utility maximization, and analytical argument was used to support such finding.

Study of Plasma Electrolysis in Water: Alternative Technologies for Hydrogen Production
Authors: Yulianto Eko , Wardaya Asep Yoyo , Nur Muhammad
Published: November 2022

Plasma electrolysis has been studied as an alternative method for generating hydrogen. A plasma reactor is used in this electrolysis to produce glowing plasma and the reactive interface fluid layer has an asymmetrical spiral-rod electrodes configuration.  Plasma electrolysis was carried out in 2 positions at the surface of the solution and at a depth of 5 mm. On the surface, it is divided into 4 regions of I-V characteristics, namely the conventional electrolysis area, the plasma formation region, the gas formation area that covers the anode, and the glowing plasma region. While at a depth of 5 mm, the formation of plasma with a voltage of 500 V takes 120 seconds to heat the solution with a conventional electrolysis mechanism around the anode. Glowing plasma at a depth of 5 mm resembles the shape of a ball with a larger diameter as the addition of stress and the addition of the concentration of NaCl solution. The mechanism for the formation of hydrogen molecules occurs in the reactive interfacial fluid layer. The plasma ball will increase with a greater voltage. The enlargement of the glowing plasma with increasing operating voltage shows that voltage is a very important factor in the generation of plasma in water. The diameter of the glowing plasma sphere produced for electrolysis at the surface of the solution and at a depth of 5 mm in the solution always increases with increasing voltage. Furthermore, the greater the molarity of the NaCl solution in water, the larger the glowing plasmasphere. The production of hydrogen increases as the voltage increases, this is indicated by the increase in spectrum intensity Hδ and H2.

Published: November 2022

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in widespread damages and loss of lives in highly populated cities, advanced to rural settings as well as sparked massive displacement amongst the population. The two nations are the key exporters of agronomic goods, and they play a huge role in supplying international markets with food products and fertilizers and the ongoing war has led to shortage of supply of these products. The purpose of this study is to present the current aspects related to the use of smart fertilizers as an opportunity to ensure food security and biodiversity. To fulfil this purpose, scientific publications were analysed, and the following groups of methods were employed: dialectical method of scientific cognition, general scientific and special methods. To summarise the scientific and methodological nature, an abstract-logical method of approach to examining the possibilities of using smart fertilizers in agriculture and drawing conclusions was used. Furthermore, the method of logical observation and analysis was used, and based on input data and correlations, conclusions were made that correspond to the object of the study. The generalization method was used to summarise the results of the study. As a result of the study, it was found that the use of smart fertilizers leads to less absorption of resources by agricultural crops, lesser losses in the form of leaching, run-off and denitrification, and a favourable impact on the surrounding natural environment. Moreover, their use is a necessary approach to increase the production of foods, which is necessary to make provision for the population and support economic development. The findings of the current study show that smart fertilizers can serve as a solution for the biodiversity and food security during the Russian invasion in Ukraine.

Published: November 2022

Mammalian yersiniosis is of interest to researchers around the world, due to the expansion of the range of spread of the disease. Most publications of previous years concerned productive animals and the spread of the pathogen in environmental objects. Recently, isolated reports have begun to appear about the isolation of pathogens, yersinioses, from unproductive animals and a rather specific course of diseases. The interest of bacteriologists and epidemiologists is based on the increasingly frequent detection of Y. Enterocolitica pathogen in the body of so-called companion animals, which are often directly in close contact with the host. To date, the possibility of human infection from a bacterial carrier has already been proven. The purpose of this study was to clarify the main vectors of pathogenesis of spontaneous feline intestinal yersiniosis by investigating changes in the architectonics of parenchymal organs. The materials for the study were the internal organs of cats that died as a result of spontaneous intestinal yersiniosis, the diagnosis of which was established based on the clinical picture and the determination of diagnostic titres of antibodies to standard yersiniosis antigens. It was found that the feline disease is mostly asymptomatic, and due to the affinity of many pathogens of yersiniosis in animals and humans, it becomes both epizootological and epidemiological in nature. The most significant pathomorphological changes were found in the organs of cats with intestinal yersiniosis; in the organs of the gastrointestinal tract (stagnant phenomena, uneven damage to intestinal villi, sometimes crypts of the submucosal layer and vascular walls, active cell proliferation in desquamation areas); in the liver, mainly protein dystrophy, local areas of necrobiosis and cytolysis of hepatocytes; in the kidneys, congestive hyperaemia and the development of haemorrhagic diathesis, signs of vascular fragility and diapedesis bleeding, and in the case of chronisation of the process – a response to vascular endothelial damage in the form of migration of mononuclears to the future focus of inflammation; in the spleen and lymph nodes, delymphotisation of white pulp was observed, in other cases, an increase in the number of secondary lymph nodes with the formation of large reactive centres was detected in the spleen.
Self-explanatory Images: Analyzing Color Codes on Images in Design Studies
Authors: PARSA Alev , İŞBİLEN Damla
Published: November 2022

The design process, which starts with identifying the design problem in design studies, is completed by conveying the message of the creative visual solution to the target audience. The images used in the design for the target audience are carefully selected by the design team. Images have a universal language and are transmitted faster than written texts. Images have layers of meaning as cultural indicators of their own time. For this reason, the most frequently used method for examining and interpreting images is semiotics. The colors used in the design also represent culture. Each color can have personal meanings as well as cultural and universal meanings. Color constitutes an important code system in the reading of images through semiotics. To develop the ability to incorporate colors into design, it is necessary to understand the science, psychology and meaning of colors. Visual communication designers and artists are aware that effective color palette choices are one of the techniques that enable guiding eye tracking in design. Color choices, color palette designs play an important role in visual aesthetics. In addition to the contribution of colors to visual aesthetics, the meanings they attach to the message are also important. In this study, the use of images in design applications is examined through the language of colors. The contributions of the use of color to the meaning of the image are examined through examples.

The influence of global warming is one of the major causes that appears to worry the world, especially the effect of flood happening at the river side that causes potential loses. It difficult to living against water, but it possible to live with water level rising. The rising water occupies the land surface. The land surface taken away by the rising water. The only way to live with rising water is by constructing houses on the water. Amphibious structures are becoming more popular among the people in Kerala. Amphibious structures are buildings that sit on dry land like ordinary buildings, except there is a flood. An in-depth study of permanent housing has done by studying the various ways that flood events affect housing in order to identify guiding criteria that flood resilient housing should address. Furthermore, it is needed to differentiate between flood zones since housing should respond and resist to flooding according to predicted flood characteristics. This project incorporates study of various flood resistant housing projects and the most effective design factors are identified and a new proposal is suggest for the resilient housing. The housing proposal through this study stands well within the boundaries of sustainability, and address the problems of flood related issues of housing in a most efficient way.

In this study, juvenile tropical freshwater fish (Oreochromis niloticus) were exposed to different lethal concentrations (2.5 ml/L, 5.0ml/L, 10.0ml/L, 15.0ml/L, 20.0ml/L and 25.0ml/L respectively) of aqueous methanol and (0ml/L) which is a tank without the toxicant to serve as the control. The experiment was conducted using a static nonrenewable bioassay method. The fish were obtained from the African Regional Aquaculture Centre (ARAC), Aluu, Rivers State, Nigeria. The fishes were acclimated to an aquarium for 14 days. In order to determine the definitive test concentration, a range-finding test was conducted. The mortality, LC50s value, and the 95 per cent confidence intervals for test organisms were derived using standard procedures at 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, and 96hr respectively. There was a statistically (P<0.05) increase in the mortality rates as the concentration of the test chemical increased. The LC50 values at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours recorded were 30.064ml/L, 26.562ml/L, 11.534ml/L, and 6.347ml/L respectively for the Chemical. The LC50 values showed that the chemical is toxic to this tropical freshwater fish. Hence, it is recommended that there should be a regulatory measure in the discharge of this chemical into the aquatic environment, to avert potential toxic effects that may result in the death of non-targeted aquatic organisms which is an edible meal for humans which in turn may affect human health.

This study analysed cocoa farmers’ attitude to risk and effects on their income in Ondo State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select a representative sample (234) for this study. Attitudinal Scale Approach (ASA) model, Gross margin and Likert’s scale were used to analysed the data collected. Results showed that the mean age of the respondents was 50.27 years with an average of 15.98 years of experience. The sources of risks perceived by the cocoa farming households as threats to cocoa production were Natural risks (63.68%), social risks (88.89%), economic risks (75.21%), production risk (52.14%) and marketing risks (76.92%). The result of ASA model using Likert’s scale showed that 37.61%, 36.75% and 25.64% of the respondents were respectively categorized as risk averse, neutral and preferring individuals. Results of costs and returns analysis of cocoa farms in the study area indicated that the average farm’s profitability level wasN185,423,725. Regression result showed that the variables that determine farmer’s income included social risks (p<0.001), economic risks (p<0.001) and production risks (p<0.001) and marketing risks (p<0.001). The study concluded that plant diseases, theft of the crop, low market demand, low labour supply and Instability of price among others are the severe types of risks that affect cocoa productivity and all year source of risk to cocoa production in the study area.

Liposuction for Lymphedema
Authors: Subramonian Anusree , Severn Melissa
Published: November 2022

Liposuction with controlled compressive therapy was associated with higher volume reduction compared with controlled compression therapy alone. This finding was from a low- to moderate-quality meta-analysis of 2 prospective cohort studies. The certainty of the evidence is very low.

Liposuction was associated with higher improvement in health-related quality of life compared with no treatment. However, the associated data were not reported to enable an independent corroboration of this finding, and the evidence was uncertain.

Overall, the evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness of liposuction compared with no treatment was very uncertain because it came from a small number of studies with methodological limitations and poor reporting.

 Two guidelines recommended the use of liposuction for the treatment of lymphedema.

Abstract. Atmospheric cluster ions are important constituents in the atmosphere. Concentrations and compositions of cluster ions govern their effects on atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and human health. However, quantitative research on ion composition is rare, especially in an urban atmosphere where pollution levels and human populations are intense. In this study, we measure negative cluster ion compositions using an atmospheric pressure interface high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer in urban Beijing. We demonstrate the feasibility of quantifying cluster ion compositions with simultaneous in-situ measurements by a neutral cluster and air ion spectrometer. The median concentrations of negative cluster ions smaller than 1.6 nm were 85 (61–112 for 25–75 %) cm-3, decreasing significantly with an increasing condensation sink (CS). These concentrations are far lower than those observed at comparatively clean sites due to the higher CS in polluted environments. The ions NO3- and HSO4-, together with organic ions with the adducts of NO3- and HSO4-, were the most abundant in urban Beijing, and the organic ions in the atmosphere were similar in composition to those oxygenated organic molecules charged in a chemical ionization mass spectrometer with NO3- as the reagent ions. It was shown that the ambient atmosphere is a natural ion-molecular reaction chamber with NO3- and HSO4- as the main reagent ions. Compared to the clean sites, negative cluster ions in Beijing are composed of more NO3- and CHON organic ions due to higher NOx concentrations and higher fractions of CHON molecules in overall oxygenated organic species. Using dynamic equilibrium equations to examine the fate of HSO4- and C3H3O4- in the atmosphere, we found that their main sources to be the ionization of H2SO4 and C3H4O4 by NO3- and their main loss being the condensational loss onto aerosol particles (73–75 %), followed by ion-molecule reaction losses (19 %), and ion-ion recombination losses (6–8 %).

The article is dealing with the study of ethnodemographic processes in East Kazakhstan in the 1920-1930s. The paper analyzes aspects of the growth and decline of ethno-demographic changes in the studies of the twentieth century, the political situation in Kazakhstan in 1920-1930s and its influence and changes in ethno-demography, the state of the political life of the deported ethnic groups, the course and directions of ethno-cultural development in the region and the role of ethnic groups in the culture of Kazakhstan . The 1920s and 1930s were full of political events and campaigns. During the Civil War, the situation was aggravated by the neglect of taxes and the confiscation by the military of all food available to the army, despite protests. The article discusses the features of the study of demographic processes, population structure, location and significance. The political changes of the 1930s had a significant impact on the socio-demographic development of the population of the East Kazakhstan region. The local population has decreased, but the population growth has occurred at the expense of other nationalities. In the article, based on extensive archival materials, the author introduces the history of the peoples who moved to the Semipalatinsk and East Kazakhstan regions in 1930. Studies of the demographic situation of the population of the region during the famine of the 1930s were written using archival documents and periodicals, scientific research. The system of concepts of demographic science was also analyzed, its history and current state, its connection with sociology and social policy were considered.
