Authors: Ateye Mahamed Dol , Ali Abdulkarim Mohammed , Hassan Shamsedin Mahdi , Omer Abdilahi Gas
Published: October 2024

Background: Soybean (Glycine max) is an essential leguminous crop, highly valued for its nutritional and economic benefits. In Ethiopia, it holds promise for addressing malnutrition and food insecurity. This study assesses the physicochemical, functional, and anti-nutritional properties of various soybean varieties cultivated at two research centers and local markets.
Methodology: Soybean seeds were collected from Kelafo and Dolo-Ado Research Centers, along with local varieties from markets in Gode and Jigjiga. The seeds were cleaned, sun-dried, and milled into flour for analysis. Physical properties, such as seed weight and bulk density, were measured, while functional properties, including water absorption capacity (WAC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC), were evaluated. Anti-nutritional factors like tannins and phytates were quantified, and statistical analyses were performed using GenStat.
Results: D-Pawa 2 showed the highest seed weight, ideal for food processing applications, while L-Gode had the lowest. Bulk density ranged from 0.766 to 0.683 g/ml, with L-Gode exhibiting the highest, which is advantageous for storage and handling. K-Gizo displayed the highest WAC (2.532 g/g), suited for products needing water retention, while K-Pawa 2 had the lowest. Both K-Gizo and K-Pawa 2 exhibited high OAC. Local varieties had higher tannin and phytate concentrations, affecting protein digestibility and mineral absorption.
Conclusion: This study emphasizes selecting soybean varieties based on physicochemical and functional properties for food processing. Local varieties, despite their nutritional potential, require proper processing methods to reduce anti-nutritional factors and enhance their utility. These findings contribute to promoting soybean use and improving nutrition and food security in Ethiopia.

Authors: El-Gibaly Mohamed M.
Published: October 2024

The main objective of this research is to show how integrating activity-based costing (ABC) with continuous improvement processes can enhance cost management and operational efficiency. The development of automated firms and global firms has necessitated a shift in principles and measurement accuracy. The principles and concepts have been modified based on economic theory, moving from stable continuous improvement to continuous enhancement, or Kaizen enhancement. The accuracy of the proposed costing system has improved by using modified activity-based costing. The current research has focused on multi-variation in explanatory variables, including the costing system and the degree of enhancement. The suggested costing system should include the modified version of activity-based costing and the new form of continuous enhancement system. The concept of an intelligent supply chain has led to the idea of a cooperative game between all parties in the firm/chain. Intelligent automated systems are closed-loop systems where all members are partners, aiming to maximize global benefits. Resilient considerations indicate different attempts to measure and estimate the multi-effects of externalities and other external effects. This work has closed-to-open excess quantitative models, achieving the cooperative state between different partners. Findings show that ABC helps manufacturing and service sectors identify non-value-adding activities, optimize resource allocation, and reduce costs by providing detailed insights into the true cost of operations. Its integration with continuous improvement strategies amplifies these benefits, enabling businesses to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance profitability. ABC is a valuable tool for identifying non-value-adding activities and optimizing resource allocation. By providing a more accurate understanding of how resources are consumed, ABC can help organizations improve their efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Authors: Goswami Anwesha , Medhi Marjana , Phonglo Pritam , Chutia Nikee , Konwar Biswajit , Hazarika Bishwa Protim
Published: October 2024

Fruits are an important source of nutrition as most of them contain sufficient amounts of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. However, processing these fruits results in enormous waste, accounting for around 40% of total food output. Fruit processing industry waste includes discarded pods, peels, pulp, stones, and seeds all of which can pose environmental and sustainability challenges. Importance of discovering the potential of fruit processing waste into value added products lies in the fact that the fruit processing industries generates substantial waste, contributing to environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource depletion. The solid waste generated by the fruit processing industry may include toxic biological components that contaminate aqueous media, degrade drinking water quality, and cause gastrointestinal disorders in animals. However, Fruit processing waste or byproducts have the potential to be converted into value-added goods of economic importance like candied peel, oils, pectin, reformed fruit fragments, enzymes, and wine/vinegar candied peel.  Converting this waste into valuable products can mitigate these issues, while also creating new revenue streams, jobs, and industries. Furthermore, value-added products from fruit processing waste can enhance food security, nutrition, and sustainability, supporting the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additionally, research in this area can also lead to technological innovations, improved efficiency and scalability, enabling companies to gain a competitive edge in the growing market for sustainable products. This article provides an overview of all common and possible consumer friendly uses of fruit processing wastes and deriving value added products out of it.

Authors: V.L. Ghare , S. R. Bhalerao , D. N. Damse
Published: October 2024

Fatty acid profiling is a process of analyzing the composition and quantity of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are organic molecules that are essential for a variety of biological processes in the body, including energy storage and membrane function. Safflower seed contains major four fatty acids viz. linoleic acid, Oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. The analysis of fatty acid profiles is important for understanding the nutritional quality of the oil and products derived from it.  According to hull types of seeds, the seed oil content ranges from 20 % to 45 %. Fatty acid profiling of safflower involves analyzing the types and quantities of fatty acids present in safflower oil. This can provide insights into its nutritional value, stability, and potential health benefits from the oil derived from each genotype. This research is conducted to know the content of saturated as well as unsaturated fatty acid in safflower oil from selected genotypes. The major four fatty acid composition of safflower genotypes reveals palmitic acid content ranges from 5.09% (GMU-2969) to 6.93% (GMU-3929). The stearic acid content ranged between 1.69% (GMU-2969) to 3.55% (GMU-3780). The oleic acid content ranged from 12.88% (GMU-2749) to 20.69% (GMI-3177) and the percent linoleic acid content ranged from 71.31 (GMU-3177) to 78.44% (GMU-2749).

Published: October 2024

Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) represents one of the most widely cultivated and economically important temperate fruit crops in the world. However, its cultivation faces significant challenges due to various fungal pathogens, particularly apple scab inflicted by Venturia inaequalis, which has a profound impact on the yield and quality of apple, resulting in substantial economic loss. The pervasive nature of V. inaequalis and its ability to damage crops poses a serious threat to sustainable apple production. In this study, the morpho-cultural characteristics of V. inaequalis were systematically analyzed and compared between the Shopian and Baramullah districts of the Kashmir Valley. Ten isolates from each district were grown on Malt Extract Agar (MEA) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) for comparative analysis. The colonies were characterized by a compact hue ranging from greyish-green to blackish and exhibited a densely velvety texture. Mycelial growth was predominantly aerial, with some isolates displaying partial irregularity in colony margins, while others exhibited greater uniformity. The mean colony radii for potato dextrose agar and malt extract agar media was measured as 23.01 mm and 28.50 mm for the Shopian district, and 28.09 mm and 33.33 mm for the Baramullah district, respectively. The mean conidial spore density was recorded at 27.87 spores/cm² for the Baramullah district and 34.67 spores/cm² for the district Shopian, respectively. This variation could be attributed to several factors, including genetic diversity within the pathogen populations, differences in altitude, climate, and other environmental factors, the selection pressure exerted by fungicide applications, the emergence of novel pathogen races, and phenotypic plasticity driven by the differing agricultural practices and microclimatic conditions in the respective regions.

Published: October 2024

Evaluation of blackgram cultivars (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) under various plant spacings was the title of a field study carried out at the Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Badnapur. The experimental field had good drainage and was leveled. The soil was clay loam in texture, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus, very high in accessible potassium and alkaline in reactivity. The blackgram crop was able to develop and mature normally due to the moderate environmental conditions. Twelve treatment combinations were possible with the three different kinds and four different spacings used in the Factorial Split plot Design layout of the experiment. Each experimental unit included three repetitions, measuring 5.4 m × 5.0 m in the gross plot and 4.5 m x 4.6 m in the net plot. On July 14, 2015, three varieties-BDU-1, TAU-1 and AKU-15 were sown. The dibbling method was used to sow the seeds, with four distinct spacings of 30 cm x 10 cm, 30 cm x 20 cm, and 45 cm x 10 cm. The RDF was used prior to seeding. Plant preservation measures and cultural practices were implemented in accordance with recommendations. A number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod length, pod weight per plant, seed yield per plant, test weight (1000 seed weight g), harvest index, gross monetary returns (Rs ha-1), net monetary returns (Rs ha-1), and Benefit: Cost (B: C) ratio are among the characteristics and economics that indicate that BDU-1 (V1) produced a significantly higher yield among the different blackgram varieties. Variety x spacing interaction effects were shown to be non-significant.

The integration of renewable energy solutions in agricultural operations presents a transformative approach to enhancing sustainability, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving the economic viability of farming practices and explores the various renewable energy technologies applicable to agriculture, including solar, wind, biomass, and biogas energy solutions. Each technology is examined for its specific applications within the agricultural sector, highlighting its potential benefits and the challenges faced in implementation. Solar energy, through photovoltaic and thermal systems, offers significant potential for powering irrigation, greenhouse operations, and processing facilities, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and grid electricity. Wind energy, with its ability to generate electricity through turbines, is particularly valuable in regions with consistent wind patterns, contributing to both onfarm energy needs and grid supply. Biomass energy, utilizing agricultural residues and dedicated bioenergy crops, provides a sustainable solution for heating and energy generation, while also addressing waste management challenges. Biogas production, through anaerobic digestion of organic waste, presents a dual benefit of generating renewable energy and improving nutrient recycling in farming systems. Government subsidies, feedin tariffs, research funding, and technical support play pivotal roles in encouraging farmers to transition to renewable energy sources. Case studies from various regions illustrate the practical implementation of these technologies, demonstrating their impact on enhancing agricultural productivity, reducing environmental footprints, and fostering energy independence, including policymakers, researchers, and farmers, about the opportunities and challenges in adopting sustainable energy practices. The findings underscore the importance of continued innovation, supportive policies, and collaborative efforts to achieve a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector.

A magnanimidade de uma formiga: história e trajetória da mãe de santo Marilene de Oxum – Magé (RJ)
Authors: Do Nascimento Paulo Mauricio , Santos Nascimento Washington , Gouvea de Souza Francisco
Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem como principal proposta desenvolver uma breve análise referente às ações sociopolíticas da mãe de santo Marilene de Oxum, entre os anos 1992-2009, a partir do estabelecimento de seu terreiro no município de Magé. Refletir a respeito do papel da mulher, orientada por valores em que as diversas manifestações da vida não estão dissociadas do sagrado, se constitui um relevante aspecto direcionado tanto ao resgate da identidade feminina, quanto de culturas religiosas envolvidas numa série de implicações históricas. Em um contexto sociocultural, que os valores predominantes reservam à mulher a inércia e sua invisibilidade, assim como o não reconhecimento de uma liderança religiosa histórica e o protagonismo político exercido dessa mulher de axé, pode ser entendido como uma ruptura paradigmática. As ações sociopolíticas de mãe Marilene de Oxum consolidaram-se por meio de entidades  que caracterizam o associacionismo. Maria Roberti Martins nos permite a compreensão do  associacionismo, enquanto perspectiva de estudo do político, relacionados ao movimento e competência da própria sociedade na condução de suas demandas, a despeito dos campos formais institucionalizados.
"A Sucursal da Favella": produção do espaço criminalizado suburbano na estação D. Clara (1900-1910)
Authors: De Brito Rezende Fábio
Published: October 2024

o presente texto analisa a construção de um “espaço criminalizado” nos subúrbios cariocas em fins da década de 1900, nos arredores da estação ferroviária D. Clara, localizada no distrito suburbano de Irajá, no contexto das reformas urbanas cariocas conduzidas no início da mesma década. A partir da análise documental de periódicos da época, identificamos que, após campanha realizada pela Repartição de Saúde Pública (liderada pelo médico Oswaldo Cruz), em 1907, que ocasionou a expulsão de moradores dos morros da Favella, Providência e Santo Antônio (localizadas nos distritos centrais da cidade) houve notável preocupação da imprensa sobre os destinos desta população deslocada ­– frequentemente chamados de “facínoras” na imprensa e preconceituosamente associados ao crime – acompanhando-os à região de D. Clara.

Research On The Influence Of Online TeachingGenerated Content On The Learning Decision Process Of Students
Authors: He Yue , Cheng Xiaoyan
Published: October 2024

In the online teaching environment, marketer-generated content (MGC) and user-generated content (UGC) have become the key information sources that influence students’ learning decisions. Although the academic community has paid considerable attention to this issue, the direct comparison of their roles in the learning decision process of students is still scarce. Therefore, based on cognitive fit theory, this study constructs a model of how online teaching-generated content types (i.e., MGC and UGC) jointly affect the learning decision process of students, and makes an in-depth discussion through empirical methods. The results show that MGC and UGC in the online teaching environment have significant effects on different stages (i.e., cognition, attitude, and learning decision) in the learning decision process of students. Furthermore, there are differences in the roles played by MGC and UGC at different stages. In addition, online course types have a moderating effect on the influence of online teaching-generated content on the learning decision process of students. This study not only enriches the theoretical discussion in the field of how generated content in the online teaching environment affects the learning decision process, but also provides practical suggestions for optimizing the design of online teaching courses
The Juncture Of Musical Theatre And Theatrical Music: A Literature Review
Authors: Annan John Francis
Published: October 2024

This paper is a position paper that highlights the intersection of musical theatre and theatrical music, two art forms within the Ghanaian context that blend music and drama but with distinct orientations. The essence is to clarify blurred boundaries and lack of clear distinction between these two art forms, which often leads students of music to confusion or misinterpretation in composition and performance discourse, performance practices, and artistic production. The approach used is a review of some topical issues related to the topic to unravel the distinction to make contribution to knowledge in music composition and performance as well as other cognate disciplines such as ethnomusicology and theatre studies. It is seen that while musical theatre integrates music as a vehicle for storytelling within a staged performance, theatrical music emphasises music's dramatic qualities without necessarily conforming to theatrical conventions. The two concepts have shared elements such as narrative, emotional expression, and performance as well as some differences in structure. Understanding the two Chiasmus is key to composing works that identify the key juncture where these art forms converge, offering insights into their mutual influence in contemporary performance.
Explaining Political Violence In South Asia: Theories And Concepts
Authors: Behera Ajay Darshan
Published: October 2024

Political violence in South Asia has escalated significantly since the region’s independence, primarily driven by the erosion of social cohesion. This paper investigates the socio-political and economic foundations that underlie violent political actions. By examining key movements across South Asia, including the Bengali liberation struggle, Kashmir and tribal conflicts in Northeast India, the MQM problem in Pakistan, the JVP and Tamil insurgency in Sri Lanka, the study identifies internal colonisation, state repression, and resource mobilisation as central catalysts of violence. The analysis highlights the role of relative deprivation, land disputes, and marginalisation as pivotal motivators for insurgencies. Additionally, state incapacity and external support further exacerbate and sustain violent movements. The paper concludes that the exclusion of marginalised groups from political power and economic opportunities, compounded by uneven development, continues to fuel cycles of violence in the region
Pragmatic Strategies In The Representation Of Plus-Size Women In Nollywood Films: A Case Study Of Skinny Girl In Transit.
Authors: Raji Annase
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the pragmatic strategies employed in Skinny Girl in Transit, a popular Nollywood web series, to examine how language reflects and challenges societal norms about body image. Focusing on conversational implicature, speech acts, and politeness theory, the analysis explores how the protagonist, Tiwa, a plus-size woman, navigates societal pressures concerning her weight and identity. The case study approach is utilized, selecting key scenes from the series where body image is discussed, either implicitly or explicitly. Through the application of pragmatic theories, the research reveals that while language in the series often reinforces societal expectations about slimness, it also provides a platform for resisting stereotypes. Characters use humor, indirect remarks, and polite strategies to address sensitive issues, creating a nuanced portrayal of plus-size women in Nollywood. The findings highlight how Skinny Girl in Transit both mirrors and critiques cultural attitudes toward body size, offering a more complex representation of plus-size women in Nigerian media. This study contributes to the fields of pragmatics, media representation, and African cinema by demonstrating the power of language in shaping cultural perceptions.
Institutionalization Of Children And Their Overall Development
Authors: Agnes P.S Pungringa , Huirem Ratna
Published: October 2024

The ideal environment for children's physical, psychological, and emotional development is within a family. All children should live in supportive, protective, and caring settings that enables them to achieve their full potential. Those with inadequate or no parental care are especially at risk of missing out on such nurturing environments. Many children in India lack a stable home and family. These include abandoned, surrendered, and orphaned children, as well as destitute children with families. These children are particularly vulnerable in terms of their right to survival, development, and protection. The State is accountable for protecting the rights pertaining to these children and ensuring appropriate alternative care through its competent authorities, such as nongovernmental organizations and civil society organizations. The Government also enacted the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015, which serves as the major legislative framework for child protection in India, ensuring the security, protection, education, welfare, and development of children in need. The paper attempts to explore the institutionalization of children, the shortcomings of such a process, and the felt needs of the children. It focuses on the concerns of institutionalization and the overall development of children, access to their rights, welfare provisions, and relevant legislations. It also looks at adoption as an alternative to institutionalization. The paper thus examines child care institutions from the perspective of the child and argues that institutional care should be the last resort. It also discusses contemporary social work and advocates for alternative care, along with comprehensive welfare measures to guarantee the protection and overall development of children in need

This text looks at how, with a camera and her proximity to the population, one woman was able to make a crucial contribution to denouncing the atrocities committed in the Independent State of Congo. She succeeded in humanizing the written word, and better still, putting faces and stories to these crimes. These actions led to a strong international mobilization, culminating in the recapture of the Congo by Belgium. This text also discusses the role of the Congolese resistance, whose actions also contributed to this movement of denunciation. Methods: In this research we used a qualitative methodological approach based on documentary analysis, these methods was very useful to us. Conclusion: We conclude this contribution by insisting on the fact that the atrocities that took place in the Congo during the EIC are a human tragedy on a massive scale that can be qualified as genocide. The actions that led to the denunciation of these acts must not be forgotten, and must be revisited. The people who participated in these denunciations also deserve to be known. A woman who, at the end of the 19th century, took up her camera and decided to document crimes, not without risk, deserves not to be forgotten by history. Alice Seeley Harris, through her actions, remains an enduring part of the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The fact that these accounts and photographs mention the Congolese who came to her to denounce the crimes of which they were victims, so that she could document them, proves that the history of violence in the Congo is still an open field of research in many respects

O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as contribuições do modelo de gestão escolar baseado no empowerment para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. A metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica, envolvendo coleta e análise de informações de fontes publicadas, como livros e artigos científicos, extraídas de plataformas acadêmicas renomadas. Os resultados mostram que o empowerment promove uma descentralização do poder decisório, incentivando a participação ativa de todos os membros da comunidade escolar e valorizando a autonomia dos professores. Essa abordagem resulta em um ambiente educacional mais inclusivo e colaborativo, que estimula a inovação e a adaptação às necessidades dos alunos. A análise revelou que o empowerment não só melhora a motivação e o comprometimento dos professores, mas também engaja os alunos e a comunidade escolar, promovendo uma aprendizagem mais significativa e autônoma. Conclui-se que, embora a implementação do empowerment enfrente desafios como a necessidade de mudança cultural e desenvolvimento profissional, sua adoção pode transformar a gestão escolar e enriquecer o processo educativo, criando uma escola mais democrática e eficaz

A pesquisa sobre as implicações do trabalho na saúde mental dos profissionais da saúde revela que esses trabalhadores enfrentam estressores únicos devido à natureza exigente de suas funções, o que impacta significativamente seu bem-estar mental. O trabalho intenso, a exposição a situações de sofrimento e a pressão constante para tomar decisões críticas contribuem para o desenvolvimento de problemas como burnout, ansiedade e depressão. A falta de suporte institucional e a alta carga emocional exacerbam esses problemas, prejudicando não apenas a saúde dos profissionais, mas também a qualidade do atendimento prestado aos pacientes e a eficiência do sistema de saúde. A análise destaca a necessidade de criar ambientes de trabalho saudáveis, oferecer suporte psicológico adequado e implementar políticas que promovam o equilíbrio entre vida profissional e pessoal. Investir em estratégias proativas, como programas de apoio e reconhecimento do trabalho

Para garantir uma boa qualidade e produtividade no trabalho, o conforto acústico é um componente imprescindível. Além disso, um ambiente que estimula o sistema auditivo pode trazer diversos benefícios à saúde e proporcionar uma experiência agradável para o usuário. Diante disso, o presente artigo tem como objetivo verificar as condições de conforto acústico em edificações monumentais de arquitetura modernista, comparandoas com as normas vigentes e avaliando se estas atendem aos requisitos mínimos exigidos. Como estudo de caso, foram analisados o Restaurante Universitário (RU) e a Biblioteca Central (BCE) da Universidade de Brasília (UnB). A metodologia foi composta por três etapas: (1) uma anamnese por meio de entrevista com o arquiteto José Galbinski, autor dos projetos; (2) a avaliação da percepção dos usuários através de questionários; e (3) medições in loco, conforme as normas vigentes. Os resultados mostraram que, na Biblioteca Central, as premissas de projeto foram atendidas, enquanto no RU houve ressalvas. Este estudo experimental indica ainda que, para edificações monumentais, as normas vigentes no Brasil, com as devidas adaptações, oferecem uma base promissora para a regulamentação do conforto acústico.
