Authors: Osabor VN , Bassey FI , Ibe KA
Published: April 2021

The chemical profile of the Endocarp and Exocarp of yellow monkey cola (Cola lepidota) were investigated using chemical analysis. The results of proximate analysis showed that the endocarp has the following compositions: moisture (20.00+0.10%W/W), ash (4.00+0.11%DM), crude fibre (36.00+0.12%DM), crude fat (16.00+0.11%DM), crude protein (22.84+0.12%DM), available carbohydrate (21.16+0.12%DM) and the energy value (320.00+0.01kcal/100g) while the exocarp contained moisture (22.00+0.12%W/W), ash (8.00+0.11%DM), crude fibre (7.00+0.11%DM), crude fat (12.50+0.10%DM), crude protein (1.58+0.11%DM) available carbohydrate (70.92+0.11%DM) and the energy value (402.42+0.10 kcal/100g). The endocarp mineral elements analysis revealed that sodium (0.033+0.21 mg/100g), lead (0.004+0.12mg/100g) cadmium (0.002 +0.11mg/100) calcium (78.35+0.12 mg/100g), zinc (55.32+0.12mg/100), phosphorus (0.068+0.12mg/100g), iron (47.45+0.11 mg/100g) and manganese (0.09+0.31 mg/100g) while the exocarp mineral elements analysis revealed that sodium (0.011+0.11 mg/100g), magnesium (0.02+0.11 mg/100g), lead (0.02+0.12mg/100g), cadmium (0.03+00.12mg/100g), zinc (12.16+0.12mg/100g), potassium (17.21+0.12mg/100g), calcium (22.55+0.11mg/100g), iron (11.21+0.32mg/100g) and manganese (0.003+0.12mg/100g). The mineral element concentrations of cobalt, nickel and mercury were not detected in both endocarp and exocarp of cola lepidota. The toxicants composition analysis of endocarp revealed that hydro-cyanide, soluble oxalate and phytic acids contents were 0.54+0.01, 8.65+0.12 and 5.50+0.12 mg/100gDM respectively, while the exocarp revealed 0.09+0.12, 0.01+0.11 and 4.00+0.11 mg/100gDM respectively. The results of phytochemical screening of water extract (WE) of both endocarp and exocarp of cola lepidota shows the presence of polyphenols, reducing sugars, cardiac glycosides and saponins and the absence of phlobatannins, tannins, anthranoids and anthraquinones. The petroleum ether extract (PEE) revealed the presence of cardiac glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, polyphenols, and reducing sugars and also the absence of alkaloids, tannins, phlobatanins, anthranoids and authraquinones.KEYWORDS: Cola lepidota, Proximate Composition, Minerals, Nutritional and Anti-nutritional
Analysis of Methods for Ellipsoidal Height Estimation – The Case of a Local Geodetic Reference Network
Authors: Ziggah Y. Y. , Yakubu I. , Kumi-Boateng B.
Published: April 2021

Ghana’s local geodetic reference network is based on the War Office 1926 ellipsoid with data in latitude, longitude and orthometric height  without the existence of ellipsoidal height. This situation makes it difficult to apply the standard forward transformation equation for direct conversion of curvilinear geodetic coordinates to its associated cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z) in the Ghana local geodetic reference network. In order to overcome such a challenge, researchers resort to various techniques to obtain the ellipsoidal height for a local geodetic network. Therefore, this paper evaluates, compares, and discusses different methods for estimating ellipsoidal height for a local geodetic network. The investigated methods are the Abridged Molodensky transformation model, Earth Gravitational Model, and the Orthometric Height approach. To evaluate these methods, their estimated local ellipsoidal height values were implemented in the seven-parameter similarity transformation model of Bursa-Wolf. The performance of each of the methods was assessed based on statistical indicators of Mean Square Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Horizontal Position Error (HE) and Standard Deviation (SD). The statistical findings revealed that, the Abridged Molodensky model produced more reliable transformation results compared with the other methods. It can be concluded that for Ghana’s local geodetic network, the most practicable method for estimating ellipsoidal height is the Abridged Molodensky transformation model.  Keywords: Abridged Molodensky Model, Earth Gravitational Model, Orthometric Height, Geodetic Network
Sorption of Heavy Metals from Mine Wastewater by Activated Carbons Prepared from Coconut Husk
Authors: Buah W. K. , Dankwah J. R.
Published: April 2021

A study on sorption of heavy metal ions: Lead (Pb2+), Copper (Cu2+) and Cadmium (Cd2+) from mine wastewater by activated carbons prepared from coconut husk was conducted.  The activated carbons were prepared by carbonisation of the husk at 900 ºC pyrolysis temperature, followed by steam activation of the pyrolysis derived char. Activation was also performed at 900 ºC for various durations at steam addition rate of 0.2 mol/h/g in a Gas Fired Static Bed Pyrolysis-Activation Reactor. The derived activated carbons were contacted with mine wastewater containing heavy metal ions to assess their heavy metal ions adsorption potential. The results show that the activated carbons efficiently adsorbed the heavy metal ions from solution, reducing concentrations of  Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ from 1.56 mg/L, 1.87 mg/L and 0.69 mg/L respectively to below Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) standards of  0.10 mg/L, 1.30 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ respectively. The significances of this study are that, the conversion of the coconut husk to activated carbons provides a solution to environmental problems associated with dumping of the waste and also provides valuable products capable of reducing the effects of heavy metals in wastewater.  Keywords: Coconut Husk, Activated Carbon, Heavy Metal, Adsorption
Characterisation of Oyster Shell for Neutralisation of Bio-leached Effluent
Authors: Gordon J. J. K. , Asiam E. K.
Published: April 2021

Characterisation studies of Oyster Shell (Mercenera mercenera) collected from coastal towns of Ghana and its neutralising effect on bio-leached effluent has been studied using XRF, XRD, Zeta Meter, BET and SEM/EDX.     The study confirmed that OS contains high calcium equivalent to about 54% CaO. The OS consists mainly of aragonite (96.1%) and calcite (2.6%) which are carbonates hence OS can be used to neutralise any acid solution. OS is very hard to mill as it has high Bond work  index of 48.54 kWh/t. The Zeta Potential analysis indicates that OS will not be stable below pH of 3 and above pH of 10. Therefore   OS powder dissolved and   raised  the pH of bio-leached effluent from pH 1.85 to 6.0 in 30 minutes. The arsenic removal increased with increasing OS concentration. The morphological study revealed that the surfaces of the reacting particles were coated with precipitates like FeAsO4 at pH of 4.5. Consequently,   surface area of reacting powder increased from 4.15 m2/g to 75.46 m2/g. In a similar manner, the D50 decreased from 16.69 µm to 7.77 µm for the reacting particles at pH 4.5. Particle   size distribution at pH 7.0 showed that the D50 of the OS material increased to 9.23 µm which can be due to coating of precipitates like CaSO4 on the reacting particles during acid neutralisation. Mobile arsenic extracted from the precipitate averaged 6.42 mg/L as against the EPA maximum allowable concentration of 5.0 mg/L indicating that the precipitate formed is fairly stable.  Keywords: Effluent, Neutralisation, Oyster Shells, Characterisation, Work Index
Effect of Riffle Height and Spacing of a Sluice Board on Placer Gold Recovery
Authors: Agyei G. , Gordon J. J.
Published: April 2021

Sluicing is the preferred mineral processing technique for the treatment of placer gold-bearing alluvium for small scale and artisanal miners in Ghana because sluice board is perceived to be the most cost effective device. However, there are differences in approaches from design to operation.  In this work, about 50 kg of ore was obtained from “Peace School” small scale mining site near the University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa. It was processed to determine the effects of riffle height and spacing on gold recovery. It was confirmed that, in order to trap a greater percentage of gold particles, the height of the riffle ought to be higher than the suspension height of the gold. The suspension heights of the gold particles of the various operational regimes of the sluice board at superficial velocities of 0.5 m/s, 1.0 m/s, 1.5 m/s and 2.0 m/ were   0.9 cm, 1.2 cm, 1.5 cm and 2.9 cm respectively. Analysis of concentrates showed that, 85.4% of gold was recovered during sluicing at approximately 1.0 cm riffle height.  The lowest recovery was recorded at 0.5 cm riffle height. Gold recovery was also affected by riffles spacing.  For the indicated speeds and the riffle heights the necessary spacing should not be more than 20 cm. The peak recovery was obtained at a riffle height of 1.0 cm but dropped after 20.0 cm spacing. Keywords: Sluice Board, Riffle Height, Gold, Rifle Spacing

When Will Human Capital in Indonesia be Equal? A Convergence Analysis
Authors: Wicesa Nayaka Artha , Muara Setyanti Axellina
Published: April 2021

One of the problems faced by developing countries is income inequality, which is caused by weak and uneven human capital between regions. This research aims to determine the convergence of human capital in absolute and conditional with the explanatory variable of government expenditure in education. The method used is panel data regression with generalized least square and robust standard error. The results showed that provinces in Indonesia experienced human capital convergence in absolute, where inequality of human capital among provinces tended to decline over time and towards equity. The results also showed that provinces in Indonesia experienced human capital convergence in conditional, where government expenditure in education was able to accelerate the convergence process, but not significantly. This study also found that the time needed to equalize human capital in Indonesia is 164 years.

Authors: Mabrurotunnisa  , Aditya Iskandar Doddy
Published: April 2021

Indonesian local governments still depend on the state budget to fund infrastructure development. On the other hand, land value capture (LVC) is suitable for developing countries, such as Indonesia, to fund such development. However, there is an absent legal system to explicitly implement LVC in Indonesia. This paper aims to discuss factors affecting LVC implementation in the context of Palembang. Through an in-depth interview with several experts, the study identified existing issues affecting LVC implementation including delays in revising regulation; risk of corruption, collusion, and nepotism; decrease in public participation; and public complaints due to property tax increase. Finally, we proposed strategies that should be fulfilled by the local government for the successful implementation of LVC in Palembang. They include the establishment of an implementing agency with a clear division of role and skillful members, the enactment of specific regulations, and the establishment of a special forum, e-platform, and mass media.

A pobreza na Política de Assistência Social
Authors: Redon Silvio Aparecido , Campos Eliane Christine Santos de
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo visa identificar o conceito de pobreza expresso na Política de Assistência Social, por meio de pesquisa documental dos seus marcos regulatórios, se valendo também de Relatórios do Banco Mundial, instituição que exerce forte influência nos países em desenvolvimento quanto às medidas de combate e alívio à pobreza. Para tanto, recorremos à Lei Orgânica da Assistência Social (Loas), à Política Nacional de Assistência Social (PNAS), à Tipificação Nacional de Serviços Socioassistenciais e; ao Caderno de Orientações Técnicas do Cras. Em conjuntura neoliberal, e considerando as pressões do Banco, a Política de Assistência Social traz em seus documentos oficiais um conceito de pobreza residual, que não considera a estrutura social vigente, apostando em uma definição que individualiza e culpabiliza a condição de pobreza vivida pelos sujeitos.

Palavra dita é flecha lançada: ato jurídico e linguagem em Oswald Ducrot
Authors: Machado Julio Cesar
Published: April 2021

Este artigo retoma a crítica de Paul Henry sobre a noção de ato jurídico ducrotiana, apresentado pelo autor à guisa de exemplos estranhos à espessura linguístico-argumentativa deste fenômeno. Nosso objetivo é debruçar-se sobre uma abordagem argumentativa do fenômeno semântico nomeado de ato jurídico, refinamento que escapou a Henry, e que o levou a desconsiderar o potencial de ressignificação (semântico-transformador) na língua e na enunciação. Procedimentalmente, descreveremos com maior acuidade teórica, e mais atentamente, as espessuras do ato jurídico linguístico. Enquanto resultados, trazemos à baila uma abordagem mais cuidadosa da noção de língua, em Ducrot, e uma ideia mais concisa sobre o estruturalismo enunciativo, área de saber em que se inscreve a contradição entre objeto real (sentido ducrotiano, próprio da língua em uso) e objeto de conhecimento (significação ducrotiana, própria da língua fora de uso) que funda a Semântica Argumentativa, objetos sem os quais a crítica henryana não se legitima.

DEALING WITH DIVERSITY
Authors: Ali Ja’far
Published: April 2021

Modern Indonesian had featured by two overlapping terms ‘Defending Religion’ and ‘Defending Islam’. Both are similar and popular term during the light of Islamic resurgence in the post-reformation era. As the term emerged publicly, religious discourse and debate concerning on the term are inevitable. The term, problematically, used by the particular group to legitimate numerous political actions, escalated the number of religious blasphemy. Surely, Muslims are obligated to defend Islam, but Islamic teaching also encourages the Muslim to respect communal-pluralistic society. By employing a thematic approach, this paper then argues that the idea of ‘defending religion’ should be revisited. Based on the occasion of revelation, the collected verses initially considered as an appeal to do “justice” (ʽadl), fight against the repressive community, persecution, displacement, and any outraged acts. Through tracing the occasion of revelation, this paper also argued that the idea of “defending religion” has also much to do with the idea of “defending diversity” in the context of pluralistic society.

QIRĀ`AT SHĀDHAH DALAM TAFSIR SYIAH
Authors: Alfi Ahmad Musonnif
Published: April 2021

Abstract

This study tries to investigate the use of qirā`at shādhah in Shia interpretation. The discussion about qirā`at shādhah in the study of al-Qur`an exegesis is still interesting to examine. It is indicated that different perspectives can affect the realization of understanding the Qur'an. This can be seen, for example, in the debates of al-Shāfi'i and Mālik with Abū Ḥanīfah and Aḥmad in understanding surah al-Māidah verse 89 which explains about the fine for violation of oaths which results different legal products. The use of qirā`at shādhah seems to have also been of concern to the Shi'ah interpreters. Al-Ṭabāṭabā'ī for example in al-Mīzan fi Tafsīr al-Qur'ān stated that permissiveness of mut'ah marriage  was mentioned in the QS. al-Nisā 'verse 24 which was corroborated by qirā`at shādhah Ubay bin Ka'ab, Ibn Mas'ūd, and Ibn Abbās. Meanwhile, al-Shawkānī Shi'a scholar taking the Zaidiyyah thought,  argued otherwise. Nikah mut'ah is not allowed because the argument is interrogated (mansūkh). This means that qirā`at shādhah is also an important term for the Shi'ah group to be used as a tool for analysis in producing new laws in the products of their interpretation. Therefore, this paper will look at how the existence of qirā`at shādhah in Shia Interpretation work, especially the differences between their scholars regarding it. In addition, the discussion of qirā`at in Shi'ah is still rarely found. As a comparison, this paper will describe the terms nikah mut'ah and imāmah.

Published: April 2021

This article reveals the sirri knowledge of the work of a scholar 'namely Shaykh al-Būnī entitled Shams al-Ma'ārif al-Kubrā. In this research, the writer uses intertextual theory, which assumes that a text cannot stand alone except with other texts. Al-Būnī himself is known as a Sufi who has a scientific nature from various scholars' to the Prophet. The data of this research show that this book discusses some secret scientific matters, including the secret verses of the Qur’an which can be used as a health treatment for any disease. From the expressions in his book, there is a continuity with several hadiths, the opinions of scholars and other books that become his references. He also have listed several other media besides al-Qur'an which have certain properties which are described by the Al-Qur'an such as the benefits of Misk oil supported by surah al-Fatihah which can be used as medicine. Ibn Qoyyim also explained that the oil itself could be used to facilitate breathing. The conclusion obtained from this study is that the verses of the Qur’an as medication that are listed by al-Būnī in his book are supported by several other books as well as the support of the Qur’an which mentions nutritious ingredients which are also mentioned by al-Būnī in its medication medium. Meanwhile, the verses of the Qur’an listed by al-Būnī for health treatment include surah al-Fātiḥah, al-Ḥashr, al-Burūz, Asmā 'al-A'zām, al-Kahfi, Maryam, and Asmā'ul Ḥusnā.

The incidence of ectopic kidney is approximately 1:1,000 in newborns. Ectopic kidney has a place outside of renal fossa and been found in the pelvis, abdomen, and thorax. We reported a case of a 51-year-old female who was referred to our hospital with the complaint of abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain. Adenocarcinoma of cervix was reported after biopsy, radical hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oopherectomy with pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection were performed. Unilateral, right renal ectopic kidney with vessels was observed during paraaortic lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer surgery. During gynecological oncologic surgery especially at the retroperitoneal stage congenital organ abnormalities must be kept in mind and surgery must be planned according to the abnormalities.

Published: April 2021

This retrospective study aims to reveal the prevalence of sacral dysmorphism, the proportion of its findings and signs and its clinical importance in pelvic surgeries. 1753 nontraumatic pelvic and lower abdominal CT images were analyzed to reveal the sacral abnormal anatomy and dysmorphic signs in nontraumatic patients. Of the patients included in the study; S1-S2 residual disc in 879 (50.60%), the presence of mammillary body or mammillary process in 209 (12%), acute ascending descent in 182 (10.47%), tongue-in-grove sign in 178 (10.25%), deformity in the neural foramen in 168 (9.67%), and collinearity in 121 patients (7%) were detected. The parameters of non-circular amorphous first sacral foramen and lumbosacral disc distance being close to the iliac wing (collinearity) parameters were statistically significantly higher in women than in men (p=0.027; p=0.005). There was no statistically significant correlation between non-circular amorphous first sacral foramen and collinearity parameters and gender (phi=0.149, p=0.027; phi=-0.188, p=0.005). Noncircular amorphous first sacral foramen and residual disc distance between S1 and S2 were found to be statistically significantly higher in the cases (p=0.039). Sacral dysmorphism is an abnormal anatomy that is seen much more common than it is thought in the population and plays an important role in clinical interventions. Keeping this anatomical difference in mind during surgical procedures involving sacrum reduces the possibility of encountering unwanted complications.
EL NUEVO RECURSO DE AMPARO CONSTITUCIONAL
Authors: FABEIRO FIDALGO PATRICIA
Published: April 2021

En este artículo vamos a constatar cómo a partir de la reforma legislativa del año 2007, el recurso de amparo constitucional queda importantemente transformado en la dirección de hacerse más subsidiario, esencialmente, por haberse acentuado su vertiente objetiva; con esto último resulta, además, una protección distinta de los derechos fundamentales en sede constitucional. Dado que todo ello se hace principalmente introduciendo un nuevo requisito de admisión del amparo, a saber, la especial trascendencia constitucional del asunto, y éste se encuentra formulado en la ley con gran vaguedad, se hace preciso para la efectividad de aquella modificación y para conocer ex ante si hay posibilidad de presentar el recurso de amparo, tratar de despejar el mayor número de problemas interpretativos que el mismo suscita.

Artikulu honetan, egiaztatuko dugu nola, 2007an egindako lege-erreformaz geroztik, konstituzio-babeserako errekurtsoa nabarmen aldatu den: subsidiariagoa da, funtsean, areagotu egin delako haren alderdi objektiboa; azken horrekin, gainera, bestelako babesa ematen zaie Konstituzioan dauden oinarrizko eskubideei. Hori, nagusiki, babesa onartzeko beste betekizun bat sartuta egiten da, hots, gaiak konstituzio-arloan duen garrantzi berezia, eta hori legean oso lauso formulatuta dago. Horregatik, aldakuntza hura eraginkorra izateko eta babes-errekurtsoa aurkezteko aukerarik badagoen ex ante jakiteko, beharrezkoa da interpretatzerakoan sortzen diren arazoak ahalik eta gehien argitzea.

In this article we are going to find how since the legislative reform of article 2007, the constitutional complaint was importantly transformed so as to make it more subsidiary, essentially, by enhancing its objective side; it offers a different protection of fundamental rights within the constitutional area. As everything is essentially made by introducing a new requirement for the admisibility of the complaint, that is the special constitutional trascedence of the issue, and this is formulated by the act with great vagueness, it is necessary for the effectiveness¿ sake of that amendment and in order to know ex ante whether there is the chance to lodge a constitutional complaint, trying to clear as much the interpretative problems that it triggers.

Segmentation of an acute ischemic stroke from a single modality of a greyscale magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential and challenging task. Recently, there are several numbers of related works on the automatic segmentation of infarct lesion from the input image and give a high accuracy in extraction of infarct lesion. Still, limited works have been reported in isolating the penumbra tissues and infarct core separately. The segmentation of the penumbra tissues is necessary because that region has the potential to recover. This paper presented an automated segmentation algorithm on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) image utilizing pseudo-colour conversion and K-means clustering techniques. A greyscale image contains only intensity information and often misdiagnosed due to overlap intensity of an image. Colourization is the method of adding colours to greyscale images which allocate luminance or intensity for red, green, and blue channels. The greyscale image is converted to pseudo-colour is to intensify the visual perception and deliver more information. Then, the algorithm segments the region of interest (ROI) using K-means clustering. The result shows the potential of automated segmentation to differentiate between the healthy and lesion tissues with 90.08% in accuracy and 0.89 in dice coefficient. The development of an automated segmentation algorithm was successfully achieved by entirely depending on the computer with minimal interaction.

Published: April 2021

Currently, Agile software development method has been commonly used in software development projects, and the success rate is higher than waterfall projects. The effort estimation in Agile is still a challenge because most existing means are developed based on the conventional method. Therefore, this study aimed to ascertain the software effort estimation method that is applied in Agile, the implementation approach, and the attributes that affect effort estimation. The results showed the top three estimation that is applied in Agile, are machine learning (37%), Expert Judgement (26%), and Algorithmic (21%). The implementation of all machine learning methods used a hybrid approach, which is a combination of machine learning and expert judgement, or a mix of two or more machine learning. Meanwhile, the implementation of effort estimation through a hybrid approach was only used in 47% of relevant articles. In addition, effort estimation in Agile involved twenty-four attributes, where Complexity, Experience, Size, and Time are the most commonly used and implemented.
Assessing Malaysian University English Test (MUET) Essay on Language and Semantic Features Using Intelligent Essay Grader (IEG)
Authors: Wong Wee Sian , Bong Chih How
Published: April 2021

Automated Essay Scoring (AES) refers to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) application with the “intelligence” in assessing and scoring essays. There are several well-known commercial AES adopted by western countries, as well as many research works conducted in investigating automated essay scoring. However, most of the products and research works are not related to the Malaysian English test context. The AES products tend to score essays based on the scoring rubrics of a particular English text context (e.g., TOEFL, GMAT) by employing their proprietary scoring algorithm that is not accessible by the users. In Malaysia, the research and development of AES are scarce. This paper intends to formulate a Malaysia-based AES, namely Intelligent Essay Grader (IEG), for the Malaysian English test environment by using our collection of two Malaysian University English Test (MUET) essay dataset. We proposed the essay scoring rubric based on its language and semantic features. We analyzed the correlation of the proposed language and semantic features with the essay grade using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Furthermore, we constructed an essay scoring model to predict the essay grades. In our result, we found that the language featured such as vocabulary count and advanced part of speech were highly correlated with the essay grades, and the language features showed a greater influence on essay grades than the semantic features. From our prediction model, we observed that the model yielded better accuracy results based on the selected high-correlated essay features, followed by the language features.
