Published: September 2024

An important aspect of elite dining culture in eighteenth-century Europe were the impressive centrepieces made of sugar, also known as desserts. Little is known about the design of these ephemeral tablescapes. Although often surviving in literary descriptions, the appearance of these objects was rarely documented in visual sources. To gain more insight into the creative process that underpinned the design and execution of confectionary centrepieces, as well as the status of confectioners as artists and artisans, this article considers the authorship and function of three very rare drawings depicting desserts made by Dutch confectioners.
Technological Culture and the Challenge of Erosion of Yorùbá Moral Values
Authors: E. O. Oyinlade,
Published: September 2024

The advent and rapid evolution of technology have significantly impacted global cultures, including the culture of Yorùbá people, an ethnic group primarily located in southwestern Nigeria. The Yorùbá people are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes a strong emphasis on communal living, respect for elders, and a deep sense of spirituality and moral uprightness. However, the pervasive influence of technological advancements, such as the internet, social media, and mobile technologies, has posed a significant challenge to the preservation of these values. Social media platforms, in particular, have played a role in reshaping perceptions of morality, success, and identity, often promoting values that conflict with traditional Yorùbá principles. This paper examines how technological culture contributes to the erosion of Yorùbá moral values, traditionally passed down through generations. A self-structured questionnaire grounded in the Ọmọlúàbí Code of Ethics was used as instrument. One hundred Yorùbá youths in Ede community, Osun State, Nigeria were sampled across the three major religious groups in Nigeria and copies of the questionnaire given to them. The findings reveal a significant relationship between the increasing use of technology and the perceived erosion of Yorùbá moral values. The younger generations, who are more engaged with digital platforms, exhibit a noticeable shift in moral perspectives, often aligning more with globalized digital culture than traditional Yorùbá ethics. Now, while technological culture poses challenges to the preservation of Yorùbá moral values, it also offers opportunities for innovative cultural engagement and education. The study, therefore, recommends a balanced approach, advocating for the integration of traditional values within modern technological frameworks. This study also recommends that film censoring should be taken more seriously by the government in order to disallow contents that seem to downplay good moral values and that broadcasting houses should promote/project indigenous cultural and moral values.

Authors: T. G. Obagboye, , S. T. James,
Published: September 2024

President Muhammadu Buhari 2020 signed the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 (CAMA 2020), and the CAMA 2020 is expected to be a step in the right direction towards reforming and improving Nigeria’s business environment and reducing regulatory hurdles. The CAMA 2020 which repealed and replaced the Companies and Allied Matters Act, of 1990 is also projected to impact positively on corporate governance practices and procedures in Nigeria and this has received increased attention in the new CAMA. This is due to the concerted efforts aimed at inculcating the principles of transparency, accountability, and fairness in running the affairs of public and private companies and also to curb the high-profile scandals involving abuse of corporate powers by key corporate stakeholders using corporate entities. This paper highlights the impact of CAMA 2020 on corporate governance in Nigeria.

Published: September 2024

A degradação causada no meio ambiente pelas cidades é na atualidade, uma das grandes preocupações da sociedade. A transformação desse cenário requer uma participação coletiva, neste sentido, a educação exerce uma função fundamental no processo de mudança de costumes e atitudes. A Educação Ambiental visa então promover uma nova postura ambiental, através da transmissão de informações, para todos os níveis de ensino e todas as idades, a fim de desenvolver melhorias nas relações humano-ambiente. A cidade de Caxias–MA, considerada uma cidade de pequeno e médio porte, atualmente demanda ações que fortaleçam o desenvolvimento da sustentabilidade, principalmente nos bairros localizados às margens de rios e riachos que compõem a bacia hidrográfica local, visto que nessas áreas, a degradação ambiental é acelerada pela falta de infraestrutura, descarte incorreto de resíduos e ocupação desordenada. Para isso, foi escolhida a população do Bairro Cangalheiro, estando este localizado às margens do Rio Itapecuru, para desenvolver uma ação de sensibilização com a comunidade, relacionando conceitos e práticas de preservação, aplicados aos problemas ambientais observados. Os dados analisados retratam que os indivíduos sabem o que é lixo, conhecem coleta seletiva e reciclagem, porém, a população não consegue perceber a importância da realização de tais práticas, em virtude da escassez de ações sociais que destaquem a importância da reciclagem para o meio ambiente e sociedade. A ação educativa ministrada mostrou-se de grande significância para os moradores, pois tornou possível debater, conhecer e reeducar algumas concepções da população participante. Esse resultado ressalta a importância de uma consciência crítica na sociedade, reconhecendo que todos têm responsabilidade na redução da produção de resíduos e a experiência reforça a necessidade de orientar o ser humano sobre sua participação ativa na natureza.

O capital natural é compreendido pelo valor derivado dos benefícios obtidos a partir da combinação de recursos naturais, o qual sustenta a economia e a sociedade (Daly, 1996; Capitals Coalition, 2016). Considerando a relação entre as companhias e o capital natural, quais termos compõem as informações evidenciadas pelas companhias brasileiras acerca do capital natural, e como esses termos se associam? Para tal, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a forma como as empresas brasileiras evidenciam o capital natural em seus relatórios. Nesse sentido, pretende-se analisar os relatos apresentados pelas 10 empresas brasileiras que apresentam o maior score ESG apresentado pelo Terminal Bloomberg. A metodologia é composta pela análise de conteúdo dos relatos, submetido a uma análise descritiva em conjunto com análises estatísticas textuais. Os resultados revelaram que de forma geral, os termos mais evidenciados pelas companhias ao reportar sobre o capital natural foram em relação as emissões atmosféricas, os recursos hídricos, a preservação e a energia renovável. No entanto, apesar de todos os termos estarem associados ao capital natural, ainda há uma distância ao integrar esses conceitos ao capital, considerando os documentos analisados. Em suma, foram apresentados termos que se associam com o capital natural, mas os achados reforçam há necessidade de padronização quanto à evidenciação das informações acerca do capital natural.

Basic Research on the Performance of Small Space Fire Extinguishing Devices Based on Potassium nitrate used in switchboards, distribution boards, etc : Focusing on Fire Extinguishing Mechanism and Class A Fire Extinguishing Performance
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Nam Jun Seok , Park Jong Gun
Published: September 2024

As there was no objective date on the fire extinguishing mechanism and performance of potassium nitrate-based small space fire extinguisher that can automatically extinguish fires in small spaces (less than 0.36 ㎡) such as distribution boards and distribution boards, we attemped to conduct basic research on this.
We sought to confirm the importance of fires in switchboards and other devices through fire statistical analysis of electrical factors, and analyzed fire extinguishing mechanisms that react with heat based on potassium nitrate. We also sought to determine the interconnectivity of related variables through Class A fire extinguishing tests.
Through analysis of fire statistics, the importance of electrical fires was confirmed and the cause of fire in the switchboard was investigated. By investigating its composition, it was found that it was a safe material that could be used for fire extinguishing, and that in the event of a fire, the thermal decomposition of KNO3 produced condensed aerosol particles, K2CO3, which could extinguish the fire. Through the Class A fire extinguishing test of the switchboard, it was confirmed that the fire could be reliably extinguished.
The following conclusions were drawn through this study.
1. Analysis of fire statistics confirmed that electrical factors were the biggest cause of fire and that fires caused among this short circuit and insulation deterioration were the main causes.
2. The fire risk of switchboards, distribution boards, etc. was confirmed, and it was found that it was necessary to install simple fire extinguishers for small spaces that can quickly respond to and extinguish fires.
3. The fire extinguishing mechanism of potassium nitrate was confirmed to extinguish the fire by generating condensed aerosol particles, K2CO3, through thermal decomposition of KNO3 when a fire occurs.
4. Through the Class A fire extinguishing performance test, it was confirmed that there was a relationship between fire extinguishing delay time, weight, and volume, and the relationship could be expressed as , and it was found that a value of 1 or more is required for fire extinguishing.

Spor yönetimi alanında yapılan çalışmalarda, spor taraftar topluluklarının sosyalleşme süreçlerini anlamak için çok sayıda bakış açısı sunulmuştur. Bu araştırmalar teorik olarak sosyoloji, psikoloji, tüketici davranışı ve pazarlama alanlarından yararlanan çok disiplinli bir yaklaşıma dayanmaktadır. Spor kulüpleri, belirli coğrafi toplulukların kültürel ve sembolik temsilleri olmaları bakımından diğer işletmelerden farklıdır. Spor takımları memleketlerini temsil ettikleri için; bölge sakinlerini çekerek, sürdürülebilir taraftar kitlelerini genişletirler. Bu noktada spor takımları bölge sakinlerinin sosyalleşme sürecinde de katalizör görevi görürler. Bu nedenle, hem başarılı bir takım yönetimi elde etmek hem de sosyal gruplar ve topluluklar arasında olumlu bir etki yaratmak için spor takımlarının yerel topluluklarındaki temsil statülerini sürdürmeleri önemlidir. Takım temsilinin doğrudan ölçülmesi, takım temsilinin nasıl oluştuğunun anlaşılması, yerel sakinlerin bir takıma nasıl bağlandığının ortaya konulması ve taraftar ve takımlar arasındaki ilişkinin daha iyi anlaşılması için olanak sağlayacaktır. Bu noktalardan hareketle çalışmamızın amacı, Asada ve Reifurth (2023) tarafından geliştirilen “Team Representation Scale” ölçeğinin Türkiye örneklemine yönelik sınanmasıdır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye’de farklı takımları destekleyen bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu ise kartopu yöntemi aracılığıyla ulaşılan ve İzmir’de yaşayan (Xyaş=28,10±11,22) 411 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın temelini oluşturan “Team Represantation Scale” ölçeği 5 alt boyut (Normatif, Somut, Tanımlayıcı, Sembolik, Toplam) ve 20 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Ölçek 7’li likert (1-Kesinlikle Katılmıyorum, 7=Kesinlikle Katılıyorum) ile derecelendirilmiştir. Ölçek uyarlanırken sırasıyla dilsel eşdeğerlilik analizi, kapsam geçerliliği, yapı geçerliliği, yakınsak ve ayrışım geçerliliği analizlerine tabi tutularak son şeklini almıştır. Ölçeğin Güvenirliliğini test etmek amacıyla Cronbach’ s Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısından yararlanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları incelendiğinde; kapsam geçerliliği için her alt maddenin KGO’sunun 0,80’i, her faktörün KGİ’sinin de 0,67’yi aştığı tespit edilmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğini sınamak amacıyla DFA analizi gerçekleştirilmiş ve toplam uyum indeksi (GFI=0,902) ve karşılaştırmalı uyum indeksi (CFI=0,939) önerilen eşik değerleri geçmiştir. Tahmin edilen hataların ortalama karekökü ise 0,076 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar modelin verilere iyi uyum sağladığını göstermektedir. Yakınsak geçerliği test etmek için MSV

Published: September 2024

This research aims to compare the 1980 Moscow and 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games (OG), which continued their activities in parallel with the ideologies of the two superpowers of the Cold War, the USA, and the USSR, with public and private sector sports management approaches. The research model is a comparative case study. The findings were reached by single and cross analysing the data sources, including OCOG's official reports. Moscow and Los Angeles OCOG activities were compared under organizational structure, facilities, financing, and expenditures headings. Despite the blurred lines of intersectoral distinction, Moscow OCOG (OCOG-80) stands out as a distinctively dominant example of the public sector and Los Angeles OCOG (LAOOC) LAOOC as a distinctively dominant example of the private sector sport management approach. Despite the contrasting approaches, both OCOGs have completed realizing an OG from the planning stage to the closing ceremony. The activities of the sports organizations that achieved this success by meeting the expectations of the state and the system to which they belonged demonstrated the importance of focusing on the positive effects on sports management success of the right people taking the steps that meet the needs, rather than a superiority comparison between the requirements of the private or public sector.

In the present study, the physico-chemical quality of the water in the Midia coastal area, the Tasaul Lake and the Siutghiol Lake water bodies were analyzed, as integrated sites in the territory of the North Dobrogea FLAG. This study allows establishing the state of favourability of the aquatic ecosystem, focusing on the chlorophyll content as the basis of the trophic level. The premise of a stable ecosystem induces the possibility of developing natural fish resources. An essential attribute in the context of preserving natural heritage and increasing the attractiveness for fishing activities, is the need to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative profile of the phytoplankton and, respectively, the eutrophication indicators. If aquaculture activities will be developed in the analyzed areas in the future, they could increase the economic value of the Romanian sector of the Black Sea. The biological analyzes of the water quality are the basis of the substantiation of some methods of its determination and evaluation. Thus, testing the concentration of chlorophyll, the classes of algae and the photosynthetic activity, are useful for the evaluation of eutrophication in the aquatic environment, but also for the evaluation of productivity in the surface waters studied. At the same time, the determination and evaluation of the physical and chemical parameters of water quality allowed the realization of some correlations with the structure of the biota. In this sense, the analysis methods are based on the use of modern equipment based on real time (in situ) determinations.

Published: September 2024

The ‘Sariva’, a drug having diverse uses in Ayurveda. Under the name ‘Sariva’ four different species have been mentioned and supplied viz. Cryptolepis buchananii Roem & Schult., Decalepis hamiltonii Wight. & Arn., Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R.Br., and Ichnocarpus frutescence R. Br. Vanillin is a key active constituent of these plants. Considering the availability of plant material in the market there is an ambiguity in supplying the authentic species as ‘Sariva’. This study was planned to study the effective species as ‘Sariva’ using biological activity as well as content of Vanillin using HPTLC fingerprints, and antioxidant abilities. A precise method was developed for detecting vanillin concentrations in various ‘Sariva’ extracts, using suitable mobile phase. The method was suitable for routine examination of vanillin in ‘Sariva’ spp. providing reliable and consistent results. The highest peak area for vanillin was reported in Hemidesmus indicus, followed by Decalepis hamiltonii, Ichnocarpus frutescence, and Cryptolepis buchananii based on area under curve, indicating content variation in tested samples. The study also assessed the antioxidant capability of different ‘Sariva’ drugs using DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS assays. Hemidesmus indicus showed significantly higher antioxidant activity followed by Decalepis hamiltonii, Cryptolepis buchananii and Ichnocarpus frutescence. These findings suggest that Hemidesmus indicus and Decalepis hamiltonii have similar natural antioxidants with potential health benefits. Considering the less availability of Hemidesmus indicus, Decalepis hamiltonii can be potent substitute as ‘Sariva’. Further research is needed to explore the specific mechanisms of action and potential applications of Vanillin in preventing oxidative stress-related diseases.

Published: September 2024

This review delves into the intricate challenges confronting global agriculture and food security through a scientific lens, focusing on key economic factors such as climate change, resource scarcity, technological gaps and policy structures. Climate change induced disruptions also pose threats to crop productivity, hence the need for adaptation. In terms of scarcity, especially in water, land and energy resources there is a need for innovative solutions that are sustainable. The digital divide widens productivity disparities among smallholder farmers. Trade stability affects people’s lifestyles, which need immediate policy responses with high accuracy. Socioeconomic factors shape effective policy frameworks which are important predictors of agricultural behaviour. The inclusive growth strategies should capture the intricacies of production. Creativity informed by technological developments and teamwork becomes a key driver. These complexities require a concerted global response to traverse them and create an equitable, robust future for world agriculture.

Published: September 2024

Pearl millet, a major millet crop contributing 50 per cent to global millet production, is vital for the food and nutritional security of over 90 million people. Adapted to arid and semi-arid regions in Africa and Asia, it serves as a crucial resource for the less affluent. The crop’s enhancement is essential for the well-being of both farmers and consumers, relying on exploiting existing genetic variability. This study evaluates 25 restorer lines and six maintainer lines, revealing high to moderate estimates of phenotypic and genotypic coefficient variations for yield contributing traits. The observed high heritability and genetic advance suggest additive gene action, making selection rewarding for all traits. Notably, plant height, number of productive tillers, panicle length, and 1000 grain weight are significantly correlated with single plant yield. Among these, plant height, number of productive tillers, and panicle length exhibit a high direct positive effect, making them valuable for selecting high-yielding pearl millet genotypes.
