Rainwater Harvesting as a Strategic Planning Management of COVID-19 Pandemic among Public Secondary Schools in Tanzania
Authors: W. Msuya Ombeni
Published: August 2022

This study explored rainwater harvesting as strategic planning management of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Secondary Schools in Tanzania. The study was carried out in Dodoma Region, Tanzania. It adopted a mixed research method by employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches under the cross-sectional research design.  The study involved a sample of 66 out of 191 heads of public secondary schools, selected through simple random sampling and 14 student leaders who were purposely selected. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data while a semi-structured interview was used to collect qualitative data. The study established that most public secondary schools had a strategic management plan. However, only a few had a specific goal on rainwater harvest strategies as a reliable source of water during rainy seasons. Heads of schools appreciated the convivial role of rainwater harvesting for their institutions. Lack of funds and poor innovation from school management teams (SMTs) were among the main challenges for the establishment of rainwater harvesting in some schools. The study recommends that there is a need to conduct regular reviews and revisits to maintain flexible institutional strategic plans to some contemporary issues like pandemics. Second, school management teams (SMTs) should promote rainwater harvesting, which is known for being a cheap, affordable technology and an environmentally friendly water supply system. Third, the Tanzanian Government authorities, development partners and other stakeholders should support the public secondary schools to adopt the affordable rainwater-harvesting technology. Finally, educational institutions should build the capacity of their managers on strategic planning management skills for better planning and execution of their goals and for organizational wellbeing improvement.

Published: August 2022

The study investigated on the management of bullying behavior in public secondary schools in Hai District. The study employed the mixed research approach to organize the qualitative and quantitative data so as to deal with the research problem. Convergent parallel research design was employed to enable the researchers to collect data concurrently. While the targeted schools were 45 in the district, 5 schools were purposively selected with the sample of 171 respondents. The study found that majority of teachers  were not effective in managing bullying behavior in schools though they are obligated with the task of managing students’ behaviors in through identifying, directing, controlling, monitoring the behavior and providing guidance and counseling to students. The study recommends that schools should come up with strategies to control bullying by offering short courses, seminars and workshops to teachers so as to equip them with skills on how to control bullying. Clubs and societies should be established in schools so as to involve learners in management of bullying. Schools should put in place a schedule where talks on various aspects of bullying can be presented to students. Speakers from outside the school can be invited to make presentations.

Published: August 2022

The leaf of Vernonia leopoldi (Sch. Bip. Ex Walp.) Vatke has been used traditionally for the treatment of wounds. However, literature is scanty on experimental wound healing activity of the plant. The objective of this study was to investigate the wound healing activity of the 80% methanol extract of V. leopoldi leaves in mice. Wound healing activity was investigated using excision and incision wound models. The extract was studied for wound healing activity by formulating a topical ointment using two concentrations (5% and 10% w/w). Simple ointment base (negative control) and 0.2% nitrofurazone (w/v) ointment (positive control) were used for comparison of wound healing activity. The wound contraction, period of epithelialization and tensile strength were evaluated. In addition, anti-inflammatory activity was tested at doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg using carrageenan hind paw oedema model. In vitro antibacterial activity was also assessed using agar well diffusion technique at concentrations of 50 - 500 µg/µl against both Gram- positive and Gram-negative bacteria that are associated with wound infections. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the extract were determined. Treatment of wound with ointment containing 5% and 10% (w/w) methanol extract exhibited significantly increased (p < 0.05) wound contraction rate, shorter epithelialization time, and higher skin breaking strength as well as increased collagen deposition, fibroblast proliferation and vascularization as evidenced by histopathological analysis. The 10% (w/w) extract ointment showed better wound healing activity than the 5% ointment and its effect was comparable to that of nitrofurazone. The extract also produced dose-dependent significant reductions (p < 0.01 - 0.001) of inflammation as compared to the control. The extract also displayed better antibacterial activity on Gram-positive than Gram-negative organisms. From the results, it can be concluded that the 80% methanol extract of V. leopoldi is endowed with wound healing, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities.

Published: August 2022

Herbal medicines are extensively utilized across the world. In Ethiopia, people use Ajuga remota Benth to treat high blood pressure, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, malaria, fever, ascariasis, stomach pain, diarrhoea, evil eye, and retained placenta. However, work has not been done on standardizing the herb. Thus, the aim of this study was to standardize the leaves of A. remota. Fresh leaves, powdered leaves, 80% methanol, chloroform, and methanol extracts of leaves of A. remota were evaluated using macroscopic and microscopic characterization, fluorescence analysis, physicochemical characterization, phytochemical analysis and residual analysis. Macroscopically, fresh leaves of A. remota were 17 - 62 mm (length) × 7.5 - 23 mm (width); 1 - 2 mm thick and dark sea green coloured, soft, fibrous, had a very bitter taste and a fruity odour. Microscopic characterization showed turgid guard cells, anisocytic stomata, epidermal cells (stratum spinosum), parenchymatous (aerenchyma) cells, pointed trichomes, spiral tracheids, and xylem fibre in powdered leaves of A. remota. The powder of the plant gave characteristic colours in fluorescence analysis under visible and 366 nm UV light. The powder was also studied for swelling index (2.392), foaming index (100), bitterness value (8400), extractive value (aqueous: 34.33% and methanol: 21.16%), moisture content (6.43%), total ash value (27.10%), water-soluble ash (11.43%), acid-insoluble ash (7.38%), tannin content (0.016%), and powder fineness (moderately fine). TLC, LC-MS, GC-MS, and FT-IR fingerprinting were produced. Ajugarin I, dodecyl acrylate, and hexacosane were identified as analytical marker compounds. In the residual analysis of the leaves of A. remota, soil took the highest percent (0.83%) among foreign matters. Heavy metals (Cd, Co, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn) and aerobic bacterial count, mould, yeast, coliform, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Shigella species were quantified. 228Ac (7 ± 1.8 Bq kg-1) and 40K (530 ± 34 Bq kg-1) radionuclides with a low dose were detected. The findings provide the standards for identification and authentication of the plant.

Published: August 2022

Shunt Capacitor (SC) integration in radial distribution networks is a method utilized to minimize power losses and huge voltage drops. In other to obtain these maximum benefits, they should be optimally allocated. To this effect, researchers have used various optimization methods for solving SC allocation problems but most have not considered how the penetration level of SC into the radial distribution system affects these benefits. The goal of the paper, therefore, is to determine the most sensitive buses to reactive compensation and investigate the effect of the penetration level of SC on the techno-economic benefits. Load flow was performed for the base case to determine the steady-state performance of the system and the most sensitive buses were selected using New Voltage Stability Index (NVSI) technique. The size of the SC was increased in step of these buses, in turn, to determine SC penetration level impact on the techno-economic benefits. The approach was implemented on IEEE 33-bus and practical Nigerian radial distribution networks. The results showed that appropriate penetration of SC on networks leads to reduction of power losses, voltage profile improvement as well cost reduction resulting in high net savings.
On the effects of wrongly aligned seismogram components for shear wave splitting analysis
Authors: Fröhlich Yvonne , Grund Michael , Ritter Joachim R. R.
Published: August 2022

Seismic anisotropy inside the Earth’s interior, especially in the upper and lowermost mantle, is commonly studied by measuring shear wave splitting. This is mostly done by the determination of the splitting parameters fast polarization direction and delay time as well as the splitting intensity. The applied techniques highly rely on the correct temporal alignment of the single component traces (vertical, North, East referred to as Z, N, E components) of an earthquake relative to each other. Mixing wrongly aligned recording components would result in misleading and wrong data representations, including the particle motions in both the ZNE and the ray (LQT) coordinate systems and waveforms in the LQT coordinate system. The main pitfall in this context is that start and end times of the single traces in general differ due to data storage details. Unfortunately, the code of the widely used MATLAB based shear wave splitting software package SplitLab contains an error which can cause a wrong relative temporal alignment of the input seismograms in some cases. This effect distorts under certain conditions splitting signals or simulates non-existing ones. We show examples and offer a remedy.

Measles is a viral, infectious, preventable disease that requires high vaccination coverage in order for herd immunity to be achieved and for outbreaks to be prevented. This study aims to identify the possible causes and consequences of low measles vaccination coverage. This is an integrative literature review based on original articles published in electronic databases between 2015 and 2021. Said articles were identified through controlled descriptors, prepared for structural and methodological evaluation, and categorized using the thematic content analysis technique. After application of the inclusion, exclusion and checklist criteria, six publications remained. Two thematic categories were defined: “Possible causes of low measles vaccination coverage worldwide” and “Consequences of low measles vaccination coverage”. Evidenced causes included: absent, incomplete or late vaccination schedule, late implementation of mass vaccination, insufficient stock of vaccines, and increased hesitation on the part of parents. The consequences were an increase in measles cases,in the risk of mortality, and in the health expenses of the public sector. It was concluded that a reduction in measles vaccination coverage has the potential to impact the population’s health conditions,to raise morbimortality indicators andto cause losses to public coffers.

Using the Hubbert and System Dynamics (SD) methods, the commercialized South Korean Small Modular Reactor (SMR), the System-integrated Modular Advanced Reactor (SMART), is studied for the marking assessment using the non-linear modeling. It is shown for the calculation modeling of the Hubbert method where the period is from 2015 to 2030, because the SMR is expected to be totaled as many as 180 in 2030. However, this period is just an estimated value for this modeling. The uncertainty is expressed in the SD modeling with the described variables. In addition, several variables considered method has a different assessment trend comparing to the Hubbert equation assessment. There are some results as the SMR product, the cumulative product, and the product in maximum time. In the initial stage of the Hubbert modeling, the Product is near 2.0 which could mean the SMART export to Saudi Arabia. Some strategies to nuclear renaissance are discussed including the safety and security technology in nuclear industry with a highest priority. Furthermore, the free-human error technologies have been developed with the robotics technology.

This study proposes using a dorsal hand vein authentication system using transfer learning from convolutional neural network models of VGG16 and VGG19. The required images were obtained from Bosphorus Hand Vein Database. Among the 100 users, the first 80 users were treated as registered users, while the remaining users as unregistered users. 960 left-hand images of the registered users were trained during the training phase. Meanwhile, 100 images, consisting of 80 registered and 20 unregistered users, were randomly selected for the authentication application testing. Our results showed that VGG19 produced a superior validation accuracy as compared to that of VGG16 given by 96.9% and 94.3%, respectively. The testing accuracy of VGG16 and VGG19 is 99% and 100%, respectively. Since VGG19 is shown to outperform its shallower counterpart, we implemented a User Interface (UI) based on VGG19 model for dorsal hand vein identification. These findings indicate that our system may be deployed for biometric authentication in the future for a more efficient and secure implementation of person identification and imposter detection

In times of global economic and social challenges resulting from the process of globalization, traditional labor relations have become inadequate for those who want to be competitive. A large number of atypical types of work engagement appear, which require a different approach to the organization of work and more flexible labor legislation. One of flexible forms of work engagement is the contract of work by which a person is engaged in employment without establishing a working relationship. The author points to the notion and essential characteristics of the labor contract, its shortcomings and possible misuse of this type of work out of work. The research should result in proposals for improving the existing legal framework, following contemporary trends in the development of flexible forms of employment, both in the world and in our country.

Violence at sports events, particularly in football matches, has been for a long time serious problem for all European countries taking various forms with evident tendency of relocating from inside the stadium to surrounding areas including wider urban environment. As a direct reaction to the tragic events at Heysel in 1985 and as the European institutional response to the problem of sports hooligans, the European Convention on Spectator Violence and Misbehaviour at Sports Events and in particular at Football Matches was adopted within the Council of Europe. The Convention has come into force on the 1st November 1985 and since then it has been ratified by 42 Member States (CETS No. 120). Ugly scenes in sports arenas throughout Europe over the past decades has shown that the content of this Convention is inconsistent and, in some respects, contradictory to the approach and good practice that has been established in many European countries for the past several years. That is why it was decided in 2013 to amend the Convention from 1985 and in 2016 the Council of Europe adopted the Convention on an Integrated Safety, Security and Service Approach at Football Matches and Other Sports Events which has come into force on 1st November 2017 (CETS No. 218). This Convention completely replaces the European Convention on Spectator Violence and Misbehaviour at Sports Events and in particular at Football Matches. One of the main characteristics of the Convention is the integrated approach of all involved actors and stakeholders in the fight against violence and misbehaviour in sports arenas, based on three interdependent pillars: safety, security and services. In his paper the author analyses key features and solutions from the Convention No. 218 including the Recommendation Rec (2015) 1 of the Standing Committee on Safety, Security and Service at Football Matches and other Sports Events taking into account the Convention No. 120 referred to in the preamble of the Convention No. 218. Furthermore, the author points to the need and importance of signing and ratifying this Convention for the Republic of Serbia.

Published: July 2022

These days, the rate of gender dysphoria among transgender individuals has increased drastically. Gender dysphoria is a significant issue affecting every aspect of individuals’ daily activities. It induces significant stress and might eventually cause an impairment. Historically, the etiology of gender dysphoria solely focused on the anatomical aspect, mentioning that men’s and women’s brains are distinct. However, it is now believed to be multifactorial, and emerging researchers are trying to shed light on both brain structures and genes that might contribute to gender dysphoria. To explore the possible etiologies of gender dysphoria, this paper reviews the evidence of how epigenetics contributes to gender dysphoria. The basis includes the role of sex-determining genes, anatomical differences among various populations, epigenetics, and mutation of the RYR3 gene. Epigenetics focuses solely on CpGs methylation. Thus far, these mechanisms could not wholly explain the exact mechanism causing gender dysphoria; therefore, additional research is required to disclose this information. Ultimately, understanding the mechanism of gender dysphoria will promote a better quality of life for individuals experiencing gender dysphoria.

Published: August 2022

In recent years, the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have been concentrating on increasing trade facilitation (TF) goals. Ineffective commitment to TF can have a variety of detrimental consequences on a country’s welfare. The impact of three TF metrics on social well being in ASEAN countries is investigated in this study. The analysis shows that improvements in institutions, market efficiency, and infrastructure will enhance employment, school enrollment, and life expectancy using the System Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM) estimator with data gathered between 2000 and 2021. This progress even contributes to a reduction in the country’s annual traffic incidents. As a result, TF is a critical tool for improving a country’s social welfare.

A Cross-Sectional Study on the Relationship Between Timing of Food Intake and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Authors: Hari Radhika , Marikutty  , P V Giri
Published: August 2022

Background & Objective: Nowadays, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common liver disease worldwide. In a recent study from the United States (US), the increase in liver mortality was associated with an increased prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It is considered as a Santarpanajanya Vadhias per Ayurvedicliterature. Dietary factors are one of the primary causes for the manifestation of NAFLD. Food timing also matters in the course of disease development. Ayurvedicliterature strictly laid down on certain principles and one among them is the Aaharavidhi Vidhanam. It clearly explains the need for taking the food in right time and in the right amount. This study aims to establish the relationship between the timing of food and NAFLD. Methodology:A cross-sectional study was conducted among the 30 participantsvisiting the KayachikitsaOPD of Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College, Ollur diagnosed with NAFLD and enquired about their timing of food. Results & Discussion:Among the 30 participants, 76.7% had irregular food habits in which 68.8% belong to female and 85.7% to male. The odds of irregular food habits in females are more than those in males who are diagnosed with NAFLD, but the p value 0.399 indicates there is no significant gender wise priority while analysing the relation between time of food and NAFLD.Conclusion:This study establishes a positive relationship of time of food intake and NAFLD ie, those who are taking food at an irregular time is tend to develop NAFLD

A Antártica é um dos lugares mais inóspito do planeta Terra, sendo cercado por todos os lados pelo oceano Antártico, que por sua vez conecta os oceanos Atlântico, Pacífico e Índico. É um continente cujo a importância científica se deve a diversos fatores relacionados à fauna e flora desenvolvida em condições extremas e em especial para a ciência do solo, a Antártica oferece um objeto de pesquisa com relevos e geoambientes que compõem paisagens únicas, com processos singulares para se estudar pedogênese. O objetivo geral do trabalho foi estudar a formação dos solos e sua releação com a paisagem, o permafrost e o padrão do fluxo de CO 2 -C na península Stansbury, Ilha Nelson, pertencente ao Arquipélago das Ilhas Shetlands do Sul. Os resultados mostram que os solos de Stansbury, são predominantemente rasos e pedregosos, com pouca matéria orgânica, pouca cobertura vegetal e o caráter eutrófico relacionada ao material de origem sob intemperismo e lixiviação limitados das rochas vulcânicas, resultando na presença de minerais primários na fração argila. Os solos apresentam uma ação proeminente de intemperismo físico e processos de congelamento e descongelamento, resultando em solos com padrões típicos (Criosolos), sob processos periglaciais ativos. As características do microclima, por exemplo como distância da geleira, manutenção de cobertura de neve, presença de água, vegetação etc., têm grande influência sobre a temperatura do solo, registrados em diferentes regiões de Stansbury, apresentando influência direta da proximidade da geleira Nelson ademais a outros fatores importantes, como a cobertura de neve. A ocorrência das comunidades vegetais na península está intrinsicamente condicionada pela umidade e temperatura, além da influência da visitação e do estabelecimento de animais, principalmente aves. Em Stansbury, a presença desses animais e vegetais influencia no fluxo de carbono dos ecossistemas devido à menor ocorrência (não há grande pinguineiras em Stansbury como em Harmony, por exemplo) do que outras áreas da Antártica Marítima. Palavras-chave: Intemperismo físico. Temperarura do solo. Mudanças climáticas.

Zakat acts in part as a tool given by Islam to alleviate poverty by making the rich aware of their social responsibilities. There are two types of zakat distribution in Indonesia: consumption distribution and production distribution. So far, the actual distribution of zakat is more dominated by consumptive zakat distribution. The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanism for distributing productive zakat at LAZNAS IZI North Sumatra Branch and the impact of distributing productive zakat funds on mustahik status. Data collection methods used are primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques and tools were carried out through interviews and documentation. The results showed that the instrument of the productive zakat distribution mechanism of LAZNAS IZI North Sumatra Branch was running well when distributing productive zakat to mustahik and still using the grant contract. That is, productive zakat money to mustahik offered to mustahik is given free of charge. The impact of productive zakat funds on mustahik status cannot completely change mustahik into muzakki. The status of new mustahik can change into muktafi (people who can fulfill their needs) and munfik (people who donate or give charity).
