Parmi les grands enjeux de développement en Afrique subsaharienne, l’approvisionnement en eau, soit pour la consommation domestique, soit pour l’agriculteur (élevage et irrigation) occupe une place capitale. Ainsi au Sénégal, dans plusieurs zones enclavées de la Casamance, le recours au système de pompage solaire est largement utilisé. Cependant, la gestion de la maintenance continue de limiter les performances et la durée de vie de ces systèmes. Dans cette étude, nous effectuons une analyse des défaillances des systèmes de pompage solaire photovoltaïque. Pour cela, un grand nombre de systèmes de pompage solaire, dont les puissances varient de 264 W à 5000 W, installés en Casamance particulièrement dans la région de Ziguinchor, ont été suivis afin d’identifier à grandes échelles les défaillances les plus récurrentes et leurs causes. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les contrôleurs sont les éléments les plus fragiles dans le système et que 34,8% des défaillances sont dues à une panne de ces derniers ; alors que 21,7% des défaillances sont liées à la pompe. Les sondes, les flotteurs et les tuyaux impactent sur le dysfonctionnement des systèmes de pompage photovoltaïque avec un niveau de récurrence de 17,4% chacun, alors que le variateur impacte avec un niveau de 8,7%. La principale cause de ces défaillances est la foudre avec une récurrence de 34,5%.

Ce travail présente une caractérisation des coques d’anacarde traitées par torréfaction et par carbonisation pour la production d’un gaz de qualité par gazéification. Cette étude a été réalisée avec un four métallique rotatif, supporté par un foyer construit en briques. Le prétraitement à l’aide du four métallique artisanal, vise à améliorer le rendement massique et énergétique des coques tout en réduisant la teneur en baume. Les paramètres sont le profil de température, les rendements massique et énergétique de la torréfaction et de la carbonisation. Les caractéristiques suivantes de la biomasse ont été préalablement établies : teneur en humidité, taux de matière volatile, taux de carbone fixe, taux de cendre, taux de baume et PCI. L’analyse physico- chimique réalisée par la méthode d’extraction du baume à l’hexane a permis d’évaluer la teneur en baume sur les coques brutes et traitées par torréfaction et par carbonisation. Le prétraitement a permis la réduction du baume de 10,11% pour la torréfaction et 47,21% pour la carbonisation. Par ailleurs la mesure des contenus énergétiques de ces ressources à l’aide d’une bombe calorimétrique, a montré que le PCI des coques est amélioré à travers le procédé de torréfaction et de carbonisation. En effet, les PCI sont respectivement de 25,39MJ.kg-1 et de 26,02MJ.kg-1 pour les coques torréfiées et carbonisées, contre 24,84MJ. kg-1 pour les coques brutes. Les rendements massiques des opérations de carbonisation et de torréfaction sont respectivement de 51,45% et de 76,61%.

Published: September 2024

Dans ce travail de recherche, nous nous intéresserons à la détermination des diagrammes de confort thermique et des degrés jours de refroidissement (DJR)dans les dix stations synoptiques du Burkina Faso. Il s’agit d’abord d’une acquisition de données météorologiques (température et d’humidité relative) des dix stations synoptiques et de procéder à la représentation des climats de chaque zone du Burkina dans le diagramme de confort thermique de type CARRIER en climat tropical. Ensuite, nous introduisons la notion des degrés jours pour déterminer la puissance thermique d’un bâtiment F3 (deux chambres-salon). On retient que pendant les périodes de fraîcheur et pluvieuse, la zone de confort (c) est presque atteinte. Mais en période de forte chaleur où les températures sont relativement élevées, il faut des moyens artificiels pour atteindre le confort. Les calculs montrent que les zones de Dori et Gaoua ont respectivement les plus grandes et les plus faibles degrés Jours de refroidissement pendant la période de forte chaleur. Les résultats montrent également que la station de Dori enregistre environ 52 kW/an contre 32 kW/an pour les zones de Gaoua et Bobo Dioulasso.

Authors: Mugivhisa L. L. , Mphitshana M. P. , Olowoyo J. O.
Published: September 2024

Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the accumulation of household waste continued to rise as the number of COVID-19 patients increased. COVID-19 can survive and be transmitted from contaminated surfaces, making waste pickers more vulnerable and at risk of contracting and spreading the virus through contact with infected household waste. The study assessed safety practices and risks related to waste picking during the COVID-19 pandemic at two selected dumping sites in the north of Pretoria. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 81 waste pickers at these landfill sites. Results showed that 100.0% of waste pickers at Site A and 86.7% at Site B collected plastics; 96.7% at Site A and 90.5% at Site B collected bottles; and 100% at Site B and 95.5% at Site A collected metals. The majority, 92.0% at Site A and 90.0% at Site B, were aware of the dangers and risks associated with waste handling if protective gear was not worn. From sites A and B, 97.0% and 90% of the waste pickers respectively had heard of COVID-19, although 51.9% from both sites believed they could not contract COVID-19 while handling waste. Only 18.0% of waste pickers from Site A and 82.0% from Site B faced challenges with purchasing their own PPE. All waste pickers at Site A wore facial masks, whereas 86.0% at Site B did so. Regarding testing for COVID-19, 22.0% from Site A and 19.0% from Site B were tested, with 2.0% from Site A and none (0.0%) from Site B testing positive. It is recommended that all waste pickers be educated about COVID-19 transmission and provided with PPE during the pandemic.

Published: September 2024

Plastic waste in marine waters will undergo a degradation process that breaks down large plastic pieces into smaller particles called microplastics. The abundance of microplastics, caused by their small size (<5mm) can be easily indirectly consumed by aquatic animals. Anadara granosa is one of the bivalves that is quite vulnerable to microplastic contamination because it has the nature of a filter feeder which means it can sift particles and organic matter around it. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics, abundance, and types of microplastic polymers in blood clams (A. granosa). The results of microplastic observations made on 60 blood clams were 153 microplastic particles identified from 47 individuals (78%) of contaminated blood clams with an average microplastic abundance of 0.591 ± 0.083 item/gr. Fiber-type microplastics are the most dominant form found and blue is the most dominant color found in the sample. Based on the average abundance of microplastics in Anadara granosa in the coastal area of Palopo City, it is lower than several studies that have been conducted previously. Fourier Transform-Infra Red was conducted to determine the type of polymer in microplastics. Three types of polymers were found in the Anadara granosa samples polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene, and polyester. The three types of polymers have effects on human health such as respiratory problems, skin irritation, and genotoxicity. Action is needed to prevent microplastic pollution in Palopo City’s rivers before microplastic pollution becomes more severe in the future.

Authors: Hemali N. A. , De Alwis A. A. P.
Published: September 2024

The study’s findings serve as a crucial foundation for policymakers, environmentalists, and stakeholders to take necessary actions and develop sustainable waste management strategies tailored to the specific challenges faced in the Western Province of Sri Lanka, contributing to broader global efforts to mitigate the growing waste crisis. It’s a significant concern that the volume of waste is expected to triple by 2050, and the current waste management practices seem insufficient to handle this growth sustainably. The study indicates a per capita waste generation of 0.43 kg in Sri Lanka, with the Western Province at a higher rate of 0.53 kg. This data points to the urgency of addressing waste management practices in this region, especially considering its significance in the country’s GDP. The results also show that the total municipal waste generation in the Western Province is 3248 kg per day whereas the recovery is only 25% (803 kg) in terms of recycling and composting. Burning, burying, and open dumping are highlighted as other prevailing practices for managing waste, which have adverse impacts on the environment and public health. Further research is recommended to identify and address these unaccounted waste streams, especially those at the household level.

Authors: Khoiriyah Siti , . Suranto , Setyono Prabang , Gravitiani Evi , Hidayat Agung
Published: September 2024

Bengawan Solo River water is a source of drinking water and raw materials for the government of Surakarta city, but the water has been mixed with domestic, industrial, and agricultural wastes. The waste contains estradiol-17 derived from urine and feces, both from livestock and humans as well as industries around the sub-watershed Bengawan Solo River. The content of estradiol-17 in the Bengawan Solo sub-watershed is quite high. This study is the first conducted in Bengawan Solo River to look at natural estrogens that are very rarely studied in the environment, which are likely could cause several health effects in humans and wildlife due to their relatively strong estrogenic potential and high levels in wastewater and river water. Therefore, research on the elimination of these compounds using effective, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance technologies for water treatment such as phytoremediation is highly expected. The purposes of this study were to identify estradiol, to measure the estradiol levels through HPLC tests as well as to test the effectiveness of phytoremediation with Portulaca plant as biological agents. The results show that the water of Bengawan Solo River contained estradiol substances ranging from 3.88 ppm to 5.76 ppm. The Portulaca plant species was effective at eliminating estrogenic waste up to 99.89%.

Authors: Kohli Ruchi , Mittal Anu , Mittal Amit
Published: September 2024

The current investigation endeavors to evaluate the prevalence of stubble burning in India, with a special focus on the state of Punjab. The study emphasizes the enormity of stubble burning by examining farm fire incidents, pollutant emissions, its detrimental impacts. It supports the effective management of crop residue along with proposing alternatives to stubble burning. The article conveys the message that stubble burning can result in deleterious effects on the environment, human health, crop growth, natural ecosystems, visibility, and physical infrastructure. The key solutions lie in education, functional literacy, a heightened awareness of environmental laws, rights and duties, stringent governance, and socially responsible public, promoting adherence to the National Green Tribunal’s guidelines for managing crop residue and enlightening farmers about the ill effects of stubble burning on animal, soil, human health, crop biodiversity, and climate change. The available data of districts of Punjab indicates the recent waning trend in stubble burning, thus heralding a positive indication of environmental preservation. Decreased stubble burning is the reward of untiring government initiatives, support and subsidies, awareness programs, advanced research and technology, and enforcement of stringent regulations combined with recognition of the deleterious environmental impacts of stubble burning. This research article indicates that there is still a need for efforts to be made to eliminate stubble burning altogether.
Water Treatment: Evaluation of Maleic Acid-Acrylamide Copolymer Inhibitor Efficiency on Calcite Scale by Response Surface Methodology
Authors: Senthilmurugan Balasubramanian , Radhakrishnan Jayaprakash Sandhala
Published: September 2024

Mineral scales of calcite are common in the oil field and pose a serious integrity problem in the wellbore, flow lines, and equipment. It is also a challenge faced by industries such as refineries and power plants. Scale deposition is a complex process depending on various factors such as concentration of scaling species, temperature, pH, and flow rates. Deterministic models are used to predict the scale formation from the level of supersaturation of the scaling species in the water at the operating conditions. However, due to the complexity of the interaction of variables affecting the scaling and inhibition by chemicals, it is suitable to be represented by statistical models. This work focused on applying statistical analysis techniques such as response surface methodology to understand the effect of different operating parameters on the inhibition efficiency of maleic acid-acrylamide copolymer on CaCO3 scales. The copolymer was synthesized, and its inhibition efficiency on the calcite scale was tested using static jar tests at different pH, temperature, and inhibitor concentrations. The effect of the critical parameters on the inhibition efficiency was analyzed using the statistical technique of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The design of experiments (DoE) was created using a Box–Behnken design with three levels for each factor. The linear and the quadratic effects of the factors were studied and the interaction effects were analyzed using analyses of variance (ANOVA) and RSM. A desirability function was used to optimize the performance for the combination of the variables. The analysis showed that the linear effect of the parameters had the highest impact on the inhibition efficiency. Significant interaction effects were also identified between the operating variables. A transfer function was used to model the experimental data of inhibitor performance.

Published: September 2024

Cloud seeding involves boosting precipitation by releasing substances into the air that act as cloud condensation or ice nuclei. These substances encourage the development of clouds and precipitation. It’s like giving Mother Nature a gentle push to assist with rainfall in specific areas. The current work aimed to suggest Al2O3 as an alternate compound in cloud seeding rather than silver iodide. In this research, a unique approach is used to identify condensation nuclei, which play a crucial role in cloud formation and droplet growth. Various samples and four sources were included in the current study; refrigerated helfa powder, Himalayan salt, generator powder, and pollen, were analyzed using different physicochemical instruments. The proportions of chemical compounds in the samples show that there is 1.392% of Al2O3 in Refrigerated helfa which is the highest than in the other 3 sources, while the proportions of elements in the samples indicate that refrigerated helfa contains the lowest toxic compound, and although Al2O3 is insoluble in water, it is hygroscopic and can absorb 6.4% of humidity within 24 hours. As for the surface tension, refrigerated helfa shows lower density and surface tension than the other three sources with values of 0.9480 and 47.89 respectively. Al2O3 shows high humid absorptivity and refrigerated helfa can be used as a main source for Al2O3 which has a low effect on biota and is recommended for use in cloud seeding. However further work is recommended to be carried out in using Al2O3 as an alternative compound to silver iodide in cloud seeding.

Muslims of Central Asia in Siberia in the Context of State‑Confessional Policy in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries
Authors: Shershneva Elena A. , Dashkovskiy Petr K.
Published: September 2024

The Muslim population of Siberia represented an ethnically heterogeneous community, which included Tatars, as well as immigrants from Central and Central Asia, the Caucasus and other regions. Such polyethnicity and proximity to the Asian region, as one of the centers of Muslim culture, contributed to building contacts between Muslims of Siberia and Central Asia. Expansion of the territorial borders of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century. and the government’s special interest in Central Asia has influenced the development of relations between the Muslim population of the two neighboring regions.
The purpose of this study was to identify the main areas of interaction between the Muslim population of Siberia and Central Asia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century, as well as to estimate the role of the state in regulating this process. Based on archival material, the author found that one of the areas of interaction of the Muslim population was organizing spiritual life. Despite the fact that the government, in an effort to extend its influence to the Asian region, provided support to the Muslim population in the second half of the 19th century, the same building codes were applied to the construction of religious buildings for Bukharans, as for all other Muslims. The closest contacts between the Muslims of Siberia and the Bukharians were built within the framework of pilgrimage trips, since often the way to Mecca for them lay through the territories of Central Asia. In addition, there were holy places in the region, which the Muslims of Siberia aspired to. This fact was of particular concern to the Government. The reforms initiated in the country aimed at limitation of the rights of the Muslim population have reduced the migration flow from the Asian region to Siberia. The government paid special attention to the missionary activities of the Russian Orthodox Church as a tool for involving Muslims of Siberia and Central Asia in the socio-cultural space of the empire.

Authors: Kattsina Tatyana A. , Mezit Lyudmila E.
Published: September 2024

Due to the specifics of its geographical and climatic location, historically formed disease structure, ethnic approach to the development of traditional medical culture, the North territories’ population possesses a range of characteristics significantly different from the national average. This determines a number of problems and contradictions in medicine. The research of medical care to indigenous minorities of Turukhansk Territory in the 1920s is chosen because of its poor study, as well as the peculiarities of social and economic life of the region and national policy of the Soviet government. The article investigates the early Soviet policy in the sphere of health protection of the indigenous minorities of Turukhansk Territory. It considers two interrelated issues: it characterizes ethnic and regional aspects of traditional medicine; it reveals peculiar traits of the developing Soviet medical care to the indigenous minorities.
We conclude that during the period under study despite the lack of financing and medical personnel the forms of interaction with the indigenous minorities of Turukhansk Territory were searched for. Those concerned managed to change the peoples’ attitude to doctors and medical assistants, to involve them into the anti-infective vaccination and to start health education programme. However the problem of publicly accessible medical care was solved only in parts, since major changes in living conditions did not happen, an extensive network of health facilities available to the general public was not created.
The article is designed for specialists in the sphere of national healthcare history and cultural life of peoples of the North.

Authors: Aneja Pratham Singh
Published: September 2024

This research examines the relationship between unemployment, inflation, and GDP growth, focusing on how these factors impact unemployment rates and economic development. It also explores income inequality, which can impact price increases and economic development, and wealth inequality, which can hinder economic growth by limiting market participation and human capital development. The study uses the CPI to measure inflation, a measure of marketwide price increases, to understand its complexity. Objective of the study is to identify a nonlinear relationship between inflation and economic growth, distinguish significant disparities between developed and developing economies, and propose measures to assist officials in controlling inflation and promoting long-term economic growth. The study uses a descriptive and explanatory research design to analyze macroeconomics and the Indian economy, utilizing secondary data from the Reserve Bank of India's website and quarterly reports. The research indicates a link between living costs, inflation rates, and economic growth. Excessive inflation can hinder economic development, while economic growth can alleviate living expenses. The quantity of money also influences inflation and growth, necessitating legislation for balancing these factors.

This study investigates the behavioural switch and relationship of people (associates) towards a transiting chief executive officer (CEO). During the tenure of a new CEO, the rate of patronage of different categories of people seeking political and economic relevance increases over time but as the CEO’s tenure wanes, the patronage behavioural pattern decreases. The sycophant curve model (SCM) was proposed to determine the behavioural pattern change of patronage at the onset and transitioning of the CEO tenure to a new CEO. The Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) was also investigated. The results revealed that during the tenure of any CEO, the associate behaviour is increasingly positive, while during the transitioning period and beyond, the rate of the behavioural switch by associates decreases gradually. The PCC (rp = 0.9966) affirmed a strong positive relationship between the CEO and associates for four years. Meanwhile, rp = –0.9966, indicating a strong negative behavioural switch between the CEO and associates after four years of transition and beyond. This study demonstrated that during the tenure of any CEO, the behavioural switch of the associates towards the CEO is extremely minimal and gradually increases after the transition period and beyond.

To assess the suitability of marine tourism land, 10 indicators are used, namely water brightness, beach type, beach depth, substrate, current speed, live coral cover, disaster proneness, and accessibility. The analytic hierarchy process approach, considering four criteria; government support, tourism industry, community support, and land availability-is used to determine the tourism potential index. Findings from 10 observation points reveal that two observation locations were very suitable (S1) for marine tourism, four fall into the appropriate category (S2), and the remaining 4 are marginally suitable (S3). Based on the tourism development potential index, the top three priority observation points are P5, P6, and P7. The results indicate that observation point P6 has the highest value, while observation point P2 has the lowest. The prioritised policy direction strategy for developing marine tourism in Pariaman City includes three subelements: A6 (attracting investors for marine tourism development), A5 (increasing the frequency of tourist attractions), and A1 (improving beach cleanliness).

Authors: Corrêa Lianna Paula Guterres
Published: September 2024

O uso de anestesia em pacientes geriátricos está se tornando cada vez mais relevante devido ao envelhecimento da população global, o que apresenta desafios significativos para o manejo anestésico, especialmente em sistemas de saúde com recursos limitados como o SUS no Brasil. A fisiologia dos idosos torna-os mais vulneráveis a complicações anestésicas, como declínio cognitivo e delírio pós-operatório. Para minimizar esses riscos, é fundamental um planejamento cuidadoso da técnica anestésica, com ênfase na personalização do tratamento, considerando as condições de saúde pré-existentes e a capacidade funcional dos pacientes. Além disso, a pesquisa contínua sobre os efeitos a longo prazo dos agentes anestésicos no sistema nervoso central, especialmente em contextos de doenças neurodegenerativas, é crucial para desenvolver protocolos mais seguros. O estudo também aborda as considerações econômicas e operacionais no manejo anestésico de idosos no SUS, sugerindo que uma análise econômica pode melhorar a alocação de recursos e a eficiência dos cuidados. Em suma, o manejo anestésico de pacientes geriátricos requer uma abordagem cuidadosa e personalizada para garantir resultados cirúrgicos seguros e eficazes.
