Philanthropy and the Development of Science in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Mac-Ikemenjima Dabesaki
Published: December 2022

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to some of the most complex challenges requiring rigorous scientific enquiries. Two such challenges, health and agriculture, are critical to the region’s economic and social development. In the last four decades, the region has experienced diseases and epidemics that have ravaged countries and significantly impaired their social, political and cultural fabrics. Four disease examples are relevant here: malaria, Ebola, HIV/AIDS and, most recently, COVID-19. The region is also faced with a food security crisis, with 234 million people chronically undernourished, more than 50 million children under the age of five being stunted, and over 14 million wasting (World Bank, 2018, World Vision, 2021). Agricultural development, particularly through crop improvement, is urgently needed.

Published: December 2022

Infectious diseases are responsible for illness, deaths and economic losses in human and animals. The situation is worse in developing countries with limited resources, poor infrastructures and technology necessary for disease prevention and control. Consequently, causative agents of diseases may emerge from animal reservoirs and are transmitted from animals to human as zoonoses or sustained human-to-human transmission may occur. About 60% of infectious diseases are zoonotic and over 75% of emerging and re-emerging diseases in human are acquired from animal hosts. Globally and in Nigeria, zoonotic diseases previously controlled such as yellow fever, Orthopoxvirus (monkey pox virus), Lassa fever, anthrax etc. are re-emerging and new ones like Avian influenza, Ebola, and respiratory coronaviruses (SARS, MERS and 2019-nCoV) are emerging. In addition, the transboundary nature and inter-continental introductions of many of these pathogens threaten the national economy and public health. Other zoonotic diseases like rabies, brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis are intractable due in part to negligence. Hence, the burden of zoonotic diseases in Nigeria is high and unabated despite available preventive vaccination for a disease like rabies. Some of these important zoonoses are discussed in detail in this paper with emphasis on effective control through the application of modern technology for surveillance, early and accurate diagnosis, biosecurity and preventive vaccination. These tools are however insufficiently deployed in Nigeria. It is therefore imperative to prioritise public health policies with focus on research, development and innovations for better impact on human and animal health with sequelae on national transformation.
Assessing the triple helix model for research and development in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Okonofua Friday , Odubanjo Doyin , Balogun Joseph
Published: December 2022

The triple helix model refers to when universities, industry, and government work together to foster economic and social development (Leydesdorff, 2012; Galvao et al., 2019). The concept was first theorised in the 1990s by Henry Etzkowitz and Loet Leidesdorff to underscore the relationship between universities, governments, and industry using universities' research innovations to propel economic development (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, 2000). Expanding on the triple helix model, Elias Carayannis, and David Campbell in 2009 added a fourth dimension by highlighting the role of the media and civil society within the framework (Carayannis and Campbell, 2009). Increasingly, the accurate dissemination of scientific innovations derived from university-industry-government collaboration has given the model a pre-eminent place in institutional empyrean (Etzkowitz, 2003).

Published: December 2022

One of the most common methods used for authentication are passwords, in particular textual passwords. However, maintaining multiple textual passwords across various websites or information systems could be an overwhelming task especially when it comes to memorability. An alternative is Graphical passwords as pictures could be easier to recollect. Pictures on the other hand could be memory intensive. As a result, this research explores the use of graphical and textual passwords by integrating the strong points of both password scheme thereby providing stronger authentication platform that may be difficult for attackers to break. The use of a background image for memorability and security purpose was adopted in the implementation of the graphical scheme. A usability experiment was carried out with users from diverse background. The users were given the developed system that integrates the two password applications to use. A questionnaire was then administered to enable them share their user experience. Results from the evaluation of the system showed high level of acceptance of the use of a graphical password scheme from participants, even though it was a relatively new concept to them. In particular, 82% of the users preferred graphical passwords as a more secure scheme against the other 18% who preferred the use of a textual password. The textual password length and combination was simplified by avoiding excessive length since the graphical password augmented in terms of security. Overall, 77% of the participants were able to successfully carry out each task highlighted in the questionnaire.

Published: December 2022

Daucus carota Linn (carrot) seeds are medicinally useful in the management of diseases including diabetes mellitus. The present study investigates the in vitro antioxidant activities and phytochemical constituents of several fractions from aqueous seed extract of Daucus carota. D. carota seeds (78.8g) were pulverized and dissolved in 400 mL of distilled water for 24 hours. The crude extract obtained (16.4g, 20.8% yield) was partitioned in water/ethyl acetate (3:1) to yield ethyl acetate fraction (6.2g, 37.8% yield) and aqueous ethyl acetate fraction (7.6g, 46.3% yield) which was subjected to column chromatography. Thirteen (13) fractions obtained were evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant activities and screened for phytochemical constituents. The fractions exhibited in vitro antioxidant activities at 2 – 20 μg/mL with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities (IC50 = 1.38 - 22.96 μg/mL), total antioxidant capacity (IC50 = 1.17 - 3.13 μg/mL) and nitric oxide scavenging activities (IC50 = 3.20 - 20.72 μg/mL). Fractions 4 – 8 expressed promising in vitro hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) antioxidant activities with IC50 comparable with that of ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene. The phytochemical screening of fractions 4 – 8 revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolics, which could be responsible for the antioxidant activities. The results suggest that fractions obtained from Daucus carota L. seed extracts possess significant antioxidant potential.
Computing systems in a pseudomarine operational environment: design and initial test results
Authors: Periola Ayodele , Adegbola Sunday , Salami Rafiu
Published: December 2022

Contemporary research recognizes the need to reduce the cooling costs of data centre systems. This is beneficial and also reduces the operational costs. The operational costs can be reduced by using water for cooling instead of relying on conventional cooling systems comprising airconditioners, chillers and cooling towers. The cooling effect of water can be leveraged by siting the underwater data centre in a marine or pseudomarine environment. A pseudomarine environment is considered here since it overcomes the operational challenges associated with obtaining the regulatory permits required to access the marine environment. In addition, the discussion in the paper presents the design of a desktop computing system that uses water for cooling in a pseudomarine environment. The performance test of the desktop computing system is conducted in Oyo, Oyo State Nigeria. This is done to examine the viability of designing and using minidata centres sited in a pseudomarine environment in Nigeria. The initial results indicate that a personal desktop computer in the role of the mini data centre is able to support the execution of software installation without the use of conventional cooling i.e fans for a period exceeding 25 minutes. In this case, the cooling is realized using the emulated pseudo marine environment.

Published: December 2022

The leaf extract of Lasimorpha senegalensis is used in Nigerian traditional medicine for the treatment of liver disease. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the hepatoprotective ability of Lasimorpha senegalensis methanol leaf extracts on paracetamol-induced toxicity in order to validate or invalidate its traditional use in the treatment of liver disease. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectometry analysis of the extract revealed the presence of Cycloheptasiloxane tetradecamethyl- and 3, 4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol, a strong antioxidant capable of protecting the cell membrane from assaults. Thirty Wistar rats of mixed sexes were randomly assigned to six groups of five rats each. Group 1, which was the normal control received only normal saline. Groups 2-4 were pre-treated with the extract at various doses, twice daily for 4 days. Silymarin, a known hepatoprotective drug was administered in the same manner to group 5 at 100 mg/kg body weight for 4 days. One hour after the last pre-treatment on the fourth day, groups 2-6 received 2500 mg/kg of paracetamol (PCM) orally in order to induce hepatotoxicity. Eighteen hours after PCM intoxication, blood samples were collected for haematology and biochemical analyses. All the animals were sacrificed and the liver cells were harvested for histopathological examinations. The liver function markers (ALT, AST, ALP), total and direct bilirubin were estimated. This present study has shown that the extract under investigation exhibits hepatoprotective activities since they reduce cell membrane disturbances induced by PCM in the isolated liver cells of the rats. These activities were comparable with that of silymarin, a reference hepatoprotective drug.

Authors: Akintoye A , Ibrahim G , Okpei W
Published: December 2022

This study correlates the production of hydrogen peroxide in cassava with its rapid postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD). Chitosan/silver nanohybrid was synthesized and immobilized on glassy carbon electrode for improved detection of hydrogen peroxide in electrochemical studies. The cathodic peak current for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen occurred at -550 mV and β-carotene contents of the cassava cultivars were quantified using UV-Vis spectroscopy at a wavelength of 480 nm. No significant amount of hydrogen peroxide was found in the root tubers on the first, second, third and fourth day. However, the production of hydrogen peroxide from the different cultivars on the fifth and sixth day after harvest was found to correlate with their respective β-carotene contents. The cultivar with the highest β-carotene content (Yellow roots- IBA070593: 0.0044 mg/g) was found to have the lowest level of hydrogen peroxide on day 5 and day 6: 0.096 mmol/g FW and 0.037 mmol/g respectively; while that with the least β-carotene level (White roots- IBA980505: 0.0000 mg/g) demonstrated the highest level of hydrogen peroxide content on day 5 and day 6: 0.177 mmol/g FW and 0.096 mmol/g respectively; and highest percentage increase from the fifth to the sixth day of the PPD process. It is seen from this study that an increase in the level of hydrogen peroxide indicates PPD, and that antioxidants with hydrogen peroxide scavenging properties can help increase shelf-life of cassava cultivars

The Value and Significance of Ill-Being
Authors: Woodard Christopher ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2022

Since Shelly Kagan pointed out the relative neglect of ill-being in philosophical discussions, several philosophers have contributed to an emerging literature on its constituents. In doing so, they have explored possible asymmetries between the constituents of ill-being and the constituents of positive well-being. This paper explores some possible asymmetries that may arise elsewhere in the philosophy of ill-being. In particular, it considers whether there is an asymmetry between the contribution made to prudential value by equal quantities of goods and bads. It then considers a similar question about the contributions made to moral value by equal quantities of ill-being and positive well-being. The paper explores some of the difficulties involved in assessing these questions. It ends by considering broader differences, both practical and theoretical, between the significance of ill-being and of positive well-being.

Silvicultura de Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Huber ex Ducke) Barneby praticada pelos povos originários na Amazônia brasileira
Authors: Rocha José Sá , Sccoti Marta Silvana Volpato
Published: December 2022

Os povos originários, na Amazônia brasileira, em muito têm contribuído com a domesticação de inúmeras espécies vegetais atualmente utilizadas. Todavia, esses povos enfrentam limitações legais para comercializar seus produtos florestais produzidos de forma sustentável. Nesse aspecto, o estudo teve como objetivo evidenciar a estrutura demográfica de Schizolobium parahyba var amazonicum (Huber ex Ducke) Barneby, em dois sítios, de condução da regeneração natural em área agricultável (policultivo) realizado por indígenas e floresta nativa, a fim de gerar indicadores para nortear a discussão acerca dos aspectos legais da silvicultura de condução de regeneração natural em terras indígenas, na Amazônia brasileira. Para a realização do estudo, foram amostrados três ambientes de ocorrência da referida espécie: florestas em estágios clímax conservada, floresta alterada e área de agricultura com a condução da regeneração natural da espécie, conduzido pelos povos originários. O resultado da pesquisa constatou que na floresta clímax e alterada a espécie tem densidade populacional reduzida em função de seu caráter ecológico, por ser heliófila. Quanto ao ambiente de condução da regeneração natural, a mesma espécie apresentou diferenciação estrutural dos demais ambientes, demonstrando o efeito da prática silvicultural da condução da regeneração, na forma de policultivo, associada a outras espécies agrícolas. Todavia, a vacância de amparo legal para comercialização da madeira pelos povos originários desincentiva esta prática silvicultural sustentável, e incentiva o cultivo simplificado como do café e outros cultivos agrícolas solteiros.

Authors: Chistyakov Sergei Vladimirovich
Published: December 2022

This article is devoted to the study of the perception of the phenomenon of nihilism by the well-known socio-political figure and conservative journalist M. N. Katkov, whose ideas became quite widespread among the students of the second half of the XIX century. The article analyzes the material of the most famous socio-political journalistic publications of M. N. Katkov – the newspaper "Moskovskie Vedomosti" and the magazine "Russian Bulletin". The anti-nihilistic views of M. N. Katkov are the subject of this study. Russian students' nihilism according to M. N. Katkov is the task of this article to reconstruct the concept of nihilism of Russian students according to M. N. Katkov, by identifying the main factors called by the latter as the reason for the spread of nihilism among Russian students of that time, as well as highlighting the main methods of combating this phenomenon proposed by M. N. Katkov. Within the framework of this study, the key features of M. N.

Authors: Feshchenko Vera Sergeevna
Published: December 2022

The subject of the study is to identify the peculiarities in solving the plots of church painting of individual representatives of the religious-national trend of the turn of the XIX - XX centuries. The purpose is to show the development of national trends of Russian monumental church art by the founders of the religious-national trend on the examples of the work of V. M.Vasnetsov, M. V. Nesterov, M.A. Vrubel and artists M. M. Vasiliev, A. P. Blaznov, L. A. Pyanovsky, K. S. Petrov-Vodkin, F. R. Raylian, to identify similarities and differences in the manner and in the transmission of images and compositions, as well as to substantiate the significance of these differences for art history. The basis of art criticism research is the formal stylistic method of G. Velflin, the iconographic method of N. P. Kondakov, the iconological method of E. Panofsky; the method of phenomenological analysis of the aesthetic perception of the artistic work of V. V. Bychkov and G. K. Wagner. Comparative analysis of murals by artists M. M. Vasiliev, A. P. Blaznov, L. A. Pyanovsky, F. R. Raylian, K. S. Petrov-Vodkin in comparison with the work of representatives of the "Vasnetsov school" allowed us to see the development of the national style in art, from an abstract-figurative understanding to a conscious spiritual-symbolic interpretation of church painting of the Middle Ages and pre-Petrine Russia as an integral artistic phenomenon of the religious-national trend. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the example of the artists of the "Vasiliev circle" revealed a kind of overcoming of one of the main problems of the iconographic image, which consists in maintaining a delicate balance of life-likeness and ideality. In their works, in the context of interpretation, the measure of realism of the image is traced, in which the spiritual content can be embodied in a material form without losing its sacred content, which is a valuable example for modern artists who set themselves the task of creating images without copying, but remaining in the canon.

In the context of sanctions pressure on the Russian economy, it is important to modernize the national economy, production and effective development of scientific knowledge, development and implementation of modern equipment and technologies in production to create conditions for safe and sustainable socio-economic development. The aim of the work is to form a set of indicators that assess the potential of scientific and technological development of the Russian economy. The object of the study is the scientific and technological development of the Russian economy. The subject of the study is the methodology for assessing the scientific and technological potential of the economy. The methodological basis of the study is the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and statistical analysis. The authors analyzed and identified three theoretical approaches to the definition and evaluation of scientific and technical potential. Based on the results of the analysis, the need to identify and distinguish between the terms «scientific and technical potential» and «scientific and technological potential» was revealed. It is revealed that the reason for identifying the adjectives «technological» and «technical» returns to the difference in approaches to the definition of the term «technology». The narrow and broad interpretations of technologies are singled out, on the basis of which the author's definition of scientific and technological potential is proposed. By analyzing the methodology of a number of international indices and reports that evaluate the scientific and technical potential, the authors propose a set of indicators that evaluate the scientific and technological potential of the national economy. Using the proposed set of indicators, the authors determined the state and dynamics of the development of the scientific and technological potential of Russia.

Authors: Mamaev Enver Azamatovich
Published: December 2022

The author analyzes the solution of the social issue in the programs of Russian political parties. It is noted that not all Russian parties have a social program, despite the fact that political parties have the opportunity to formulate the main directions of social policy and implement them. The program documents of such parties as United Russia, Just Russia, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are the most informative. Pension provision is the most demanded by political parties, therefore, each program contains proposals for its solution. It should be noted that not all political parties offer real plans for improving pensions, many party documents contain criticism and rhetorical exclamations. The issue of social insurance is considered by the parties to a lesser extent. We can note the specific proposals of the parties "United Russia" and the Liberal Democratic Party. The article concludes about the important role of social policy programs for the political future of parties. The real result of the elections to the State Duma in 2021 testifies to the importance of social policy in the program documents of a political party. The elections were won by parties that had social programs: United Russia, which won by a wide margin, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which received 18.93% of the vote, and A Just Russia, with a score of 7.46%. Thus, the solution of social issues is the key to the longevity and political relevance of the party.
Beyond the Black Mirror: The Mythology of the Future in Modern British Fantasy Series
Authors: Linchenko Andrei Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2022

This article is devoted to the analysis of the mythology of the future and its modalities in the series "Black Mirror" as a tool of cultural orientation in the modern temporal situation. Based on the works of J. Urry, B. Bevernage, H. Lübbe, the article reveals the specifics of the modern temporal situation and current strategies for forming the image of the future. Based on the methodology of critical discourse analysis, the author analyzes three selected episodes, showing the specifics of the mythology of the future and its modalities (the upcoming future, the future of the present and the future materialized), as strategies of cultural orientation in the modern temporal situation. It was shown that the «Black Mirror» series refers to the mythology of the future, which simultaneously problematizes the future, making it the subject of satire and irony (postmodernist discourse), but at the same time normalizes images of an unstable and contigent future (metamodernist discourse). The main method of representing the future is the extrapolation of the present. The analysis of discursive strands shows that the series reproduces the idea of the future as a fragmentary, asynchronous progress of individual technologies that change interpersonal relations and the social order to varying degrees. Doing this, the series reinforces the already comprehensive sense of the contingency of what is happening, pointing not to the person’s need to choose his future actively, but to the possibility of consuming various modalities of the future, depending on the current social agenda and personal preferences.
