Published: December 2024

A Field experiment was conducted at Kweredu, Mangu LGA, Plateau State, during 2023 wet and dry season to determine the effect of cured municipal waste and variety on the growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The treatments consisted of five cured municipal waste levels (0.0kg, 3.0kg, 6.0kg, 9.0kg and 12.0kg) and two varieties of potato (Nicola and Marabel), these were factorially combined and laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The results of the experiment revealed a significant (P ≤ 0.05) difference among the treatments used throughout the study period. The result further indicated that growing potatoes during the wet season was found to be significantly (P ≤ 0.05) better than the dry season in most of the characters studied. Variety on the other hand, the result showed that Nicola was proved to be statistically (P ≤ 0.05) better than Marabel in most of the characters studied irrespective of the season. The result also showed that application of 12.0 t/ha of cured municipal waste produced significantly (P ≤ 0.05) better than the other rates considered in all the characters observed irrespective of the variety and season of the study. The result of interaction revealed that growing Nicola variety during wet season with the application of 12.0 t/ha of cured municipal waste produced significantly (P ≤ 0.05) better than all the treatments combined in most of the characters observed throughout the study period. In conclusion however, season, variety and municipal had significant (P ≤ 0.05) effects on the growth and yield of potato. Based on the result of this study, application of cured municipal waste at the rate of 12.0 t/ha to Nicola variety irrespective of the season should be adopted by farmers in the study area for higher yield of potato.

Published: December 2024

This study was conducted to determine the growth performance, carcass characteristics and cost benefit of feeding four different commercial diets to broiler chickens. Two hundred and eight (208) day-old chicks were randomly allotted to four diets in replicates of four. The diets were designated as A, B, C, and D. Each replicate had 13 birds assigned in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum and the trial lasted for 42 days. Results for growth performance revealed a significant (P<0.05) effect of diet on nearly all indices in the starter, finisher and overall phases. At four weeks, birds fed diets C and A had significantly (P<0.01) higher weights (1252.00 and 1230.70g) than those on diet D (1118.00g) followed by those fed diet B (1012.80g). Total weight gain was higher (P<0.001) on diet D (1933.00g) than those on diet A (1663.70g), while those on diets B (1588g) and D (1511.00g), were similar and had the lowest weights. There was no significant effect of diet on total feed intake (2978.40 – 3232.40g) and overall feed efficiency (0.46 – 0.55). Carcass characteristics indicated that birds fed diet C (1.87kg) had higher carcass weights, followed by those on diet A (1.64kg) and D (1.56kg) which were statistically similar. The lowest carcass weight was recorded in broiler birds fed diet C (1.38kg). However, there was no significant influence of diet on dressing percentage (68.25 – 74.76%). Feed cost per kg varied from N880 - N960 and feed cost per kg gain was lowest on diet A (N1579.76) and highest on diet D (N1789.14). It was concluded that growth rate was similar for both diet A and C. however diet C was most economical and is recommended for profitable broiler chicken production.

Optimisation of material composition in functionally graded plates using a structure-tuned deep neural network
Authors: Chiba Ryoichi , Kishida Takuya , Seki Ryoto , Sato Seiya
Published: December 2024

This study presents a neural network (NN)-based approach for optimising material composition in multi-layered functionally graded (FG) plates to minimise steady-state thermal stress. The focus is on the metal-ceramic composition across the thickness of heat-resistant FG plates, with the volume fractions of the ceramic constituent in each layer treated as design variables. A fully-connected NN, configured with an open-source Bayesian optimisation framework, is employed to predict the maximum in-plane thermal stress for various combinations of design variables. The optimal distribution of material composition is determined by applying a backpropagation algorithm to the NN. Numerical computations on ten- and twelve-layered FG plates demonstrate the usefulness of this approach in designing FG materials. NNs trained with 8000 samples enable the successful acquisition of valid optimal solutions within a practical timeframe.

Published: December 2024

Postulaty psychologii pozytywnej przełamują schemat myślenia, zgodnie z którym zdrowie psychiczne definiowane było przez brak objawów zaburzenia klasyfikowanego względem normy statystycznej. W sensie pozytywnym zdrowie to zdolność do odkrywania i realizowania indywidualnych potencjałów rozwojowych w dążeniu do zaangażowanego i spełnionego życia. Teatr terapeutyczny to przestrzeń, która pozwala osobom z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną eksplorować własne zasoby rozwojowe i poszerzać możliwości ich ekspresji. Prawidłowo prowadzona praca terapeutyczna nie tylko pomaga budować poczucie sprawczości i odczuwać satysfakcję z własnego zaangażowania, ale także stwarza możliwość naturalnej współpracy i integracji między uczestnikami, niezależnie od ich wieku i zdiagnozowanych dysfunkcji. W artykule przedstawiono podstawowe zasady pracy z wykorzystaniem technik teatralnych wraz z przykładami je ilustrującymi.

Published: December 2024

En el presente artículo se presentan los resultados del secado solar de higo tanto a cielo abierto como haciendo uso del deshidratador solar mixto tipo gabinete (drybox). En ambos casos se determina la curva de secado y condiciones de operación. Para complementar los resultados se lleva a cabo el análisis comparativo de algunas propiedades fisicoquímicas del higo, que son el porcentaje de humedad, la actividad del agua, contenido de azúcares, colorimetría y vitamina C. El deshidratador solar mixto (drybox) usado en este trabajo es un deshidratador tipo gabinete que consta de un colector solar plano para el calentamiento de aire (1.68 m2 de área de apertura), el cual dirige el aire caliente por convección natural hacia el interior de una cámara de secado; esta cámara está conformada por una estructura metálica y paredes de policarbonato que cumplen la función de mantener aislado térmicamente el interior del exterior, adicionalmente en la parte frontal las paredes usan policarbonato transparente, permitiendo el ingreso de radiación directa al interior de la cámara, así las ganancias de calor al interior son una combinación del calor ganado por el colector solar más el calor que ingresa directamente a través del policarbonato. En la parte posterior se tienen 2 puertas abatibles que permiten meter y sacar los alimentos mediante charolas, además en una de sus puertas cuenta con un ventilador solar que ayuda a extraer el aire húmedo del interior de la cámara, favoreciendo así el proceso de secado.

Published: December 2024

Alrededor de 70 % de la superficie de nuestro planeta está ocupada por agua, siendo esta un componente esencial para la vida. El agua tiene un ciclo natural que de ser alterado puede afectar ecosistemas y su biodiversidad, así como la calidad de vida de la población aledaña. A nivel mundial se observa un incremento de población que demanda más alimentos y recursos energéticos, así como mayores volúmenes de agua, tanto para población como para una creciente actividad productiva. Desafortunadamente el incremento en la demanda de agua provoco que en algunas regiones una sobre explotación de los recursos hídricos que ha afectado la calidad de las fuentes naturales disponibles. El problema no sólo estriba en un aumento en la demanda creciente de agua de calidad, sino en un incremento en la generación de aguas residuales, las cuales frecuentemente son vertidas sin tratamiento en ríos y lagos, provocando así su contaminación y afectando su disponibilidad. Seha reportado que a nivel mundial alrededor del 90% del agua residual se vierte a cuerpos de agua superficiales sin tratamiento previo (Conagua,2015).

Published: December 2024

En este artículo se presentan resultados preliminares de la degradación acelerada de polímeros utilizando radiación solar concentrada. Para ello se diseñó un prototipo de concentración solar pasivo, que consta de cuatro espejos trapezoidales colocados de forma de pirámide cuadrada truncada invertida. Los espejos están colocados a un ángulo de 30° respecto al cenit. El prototipo tiene una base cuadrada de 46 cm x 46 cm donde se colocan los polímeros a irradiar y una razón de concentración geométrica, CRg de 1.89. Se determinó el cambio de masa después de 30 días de exposición a la radiación solar, y se obtuvo la variación de la temperatura de algunas muestras en función de la irradiancia. De manera complementaria, se realizó una simulación por computadora utilizando el programa de acceso libre Energy2D. Algunos polímeros mantuvieron sus propiedades mecánicas de flexibilidad, como el PET (tipo 1), otros se fragilizaron parcialmente, mientras que los polímeros tipo 2, 5 y 7 se fragilizaron completamente. Se logró reducir el tiempo de degradación de distintos tipos de polímeros comerciales, mientras que los polímeros expuestos a radiación no concentrada y sin exposición, permanecen intactos. Los polímeros fragilizados se pueden utilizar como material impermeable en losas y en muros pre-colados, así como en aplicaciones donde no tengan exposición a la radiación solar. Por otra parte, los polímeros que permanecieron intactos, se deben utilizar en aplicaciones de exposición permanente a la radiación, como en macetas, piezas plásticas para automóviles, etc.

Authors: Arora Prathham , Dixit Anshuman , Sinha Ananya
Published: December 2024

A sibling connection is a special and intricate link that develops between siblings in a family. Sibling relationships can vary greatly in kind and quality, but they frequently have a significant impact on how people develop emotionally, socially, and as individuals. Sibling rivalry can stem from a variety of factors, including differences in personalities, interests, or achievements. A main factor could be perceived favoritism from parents or comparisons made by family members or society. The practice of discussing and amicably resolving conflicts or disagreements between people or organizations is known as conflict resolution. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of sibling relationships on the development of conflict resolution styles in young adults. Adult Sibling Relationship and Thomas-Kilman Conflict Resolution scale containing 15 items was used to collect the quantitative sample. The sample consisted of (N=80, Males=40 and Females=40 ranging) from 15-24 years with a mean age of 22 years. Results showed that females prefer collaborative conflict resolution while males tend to have competed or avoiding conflict resolution style. Accommodating conflict resolution is moderately higher in males while compromising conflict resolution is significantly higher in females. Female siblings show higher levels of warmth towards their siblings compared to males. Study also showed that higher warmth leads to lower tendency of avoiding conflict resolution style and lower conflict supports the development of harmonious conflict resolution styles. Lower rivalry may precipitate in the form of avoidant conflict resolution approach.

The reality of achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Nigeria depends on the collective response to the urgent need to reassess the people's commitment to the Nigerian project; to refocus the national vision in line with the reality of the present state; and to reposition all energies in the path of building a population of individuals who are adequately prepared to take on developmental challenges with clarity of vision and sincerity of purpose. Therefore, this paper focused on the expected impact of education as the knowledge generating and knowledge transmitting industry on the collective construction and realization of individual and common aspirations. It assessed the value content of the National Policy on Education (NPE) 2013 and reflects on the writings of Chinua Achebe and Olusegun Oladipo as theoretical frameworks to propose a form of social reformism which heavily relies on the mental and moral dispositions of individuals as the primary and urgent concern of the Nigerian educational system, especially in the current socio-political and economic dispensation.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: The left ventricle ischemia or infarction led to reduction of blood flow for interventricular septum and can be affect right ventricle (RV) function. The aim of this study to compare the effects of Wellens syndrome and De Winter syndrome on the right ventricular functions.

Methods: Patients presents with first attach of acute coronary syndrome and confirm diagnosed of wellness syndrome or De winter syndrome included into this study. We compare echocardiographic measurements included left ventricle (LV) function, right ventricle Fractional Area Change (RVFAC) and RV tissue doppler measurements of Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and Tricuspid S’ peak systolic velocity within first 24 hours after admission between two syndromes.

Results: A total 101 patients (82 patients with Wellens syndrome and 19 patients with De winter syndrome) included this study with mean age was 57.1±9.2 years and male patients were 83 (82.2%). The echocardiographic measurement of LV ejection fraction was not significant between two syndromes (P;0.122), but right ventricle function parameters (TAPSE, Tricuspid S’ peak systolic velocity and RVFAC) were significant lower in Di winter syndrome compared with Wellens syndrome (P values 0.0083, 0.0004 and 0.027) respectively.

Conclusion: Patients with Di winter syndrome compared to Wellens syndrome had significantly higher rate of right ventricle dysfunction despite the nonsignificant changes in left ventricle systolic function.

The remelted layer formed by the Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM)impacts surface quality of small hole and quality of surface finishing; it significantly reduces the fatigue life of workpieces. Based on Comsol Multiphysics, this paperusessimulates the formation process of the remelted layer under single-pulse condition. When horizontal set and two-phase flow methods are used to track the phase interface, the model is built under the coupling of flow and heat transfer fields, which simulates the solid-liquid-gas transformation during discharge etching via porous medium and weak expression methods. The simulation results show that the temperature rapidly decreases from the midpoint of the discharge center axis to the surrounding area, and the radius of the plasma region is 95.3 μm. The diameter of the pit is 108.5 μm. The thickness of the remelted layer is 16 μm. The thickness of the remelted layer obtained from experiments under the same conditions is 16.4um. The comparison shows that the difference between the two is small, indicating that the simulation model can accurately predict the thickness of the remelted layer, providing a new approach for evaluating the thickness of the remelted layer in EDM.

Published: December 2024

Smart home security enhances security by allowing only authenticated individuals to enter the
home. The technology uses advanced algorithms to recognize faces, making them safer and
easier to access. The main objective is to improve privacy and security by using facial
recognition based on the LBPH technique. The proposed application allows users to keep track
of the happenings at their homes using mobile phones, Tablets, or PCs. The system records a
flow of people at the door and identifies their faces against the database of the allowed people.
If the face is recognized it allows the homeowner access but if the face is not recognized it will
sound a warning that there is intrusion. The new face is captured and compared to the existing
one and the homeowner then decides where to add the new face for storage.

Authors:   Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Tatat Jasica , Gani Nicholas ,   Universiti Malaysia Sarawak
Published: December 2024

A significant feature of the Bidayuh community is the unique structure known as balu, which reflects the communal nature of their society. The balu serves various purposes. However, modernisation has led to alterations in both its functions and the materials used in its construction. This study aims to provide a thorough understanding of how social changes have influenced the changing functions of the balu, comparing its past significance to its current roles, as well as examining the implications of these changes for Bidayuh culture in the 21st century. The focus area for this research is Kampung Taee in Serian, Sarawak, where two specific balu structures – the Balu Gambang and the Balu Tuda - are located. Utilising a qualitative approach, the research involved semi-structured interviews and passive participant observation. The findings indicate that social or cultural changes in Kampung Taee have significantly affected the functions of the balu over time, and that its significance has decreased as many of its traditional uses have ceased to be practiced. Despite this decline, the study reveals a strong sentiment of cultural identity among the Bidayuh-Bukar community, as they continue to incorporate the balu into their modern lifestyles and traditional ceremonies, such as the Gawai Dayak celebration.

Published: December 2024

Mosquito-borne diseases are a significant public health concern in tropical regions, including Sarawak, Malaysia. This study investigated the occurrence of Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae in breeding containers in a village of Bau, Sarawak. Ovitrap surveillance was conducted by collecting mosquito larvae from a total of 252 natural and artificial containers over a period of six months, from September 2018 to February 2019. The collected larvae were reared to adults and identified using morphological characteristics of the species. Ten mosquito species belonging to five genera were documented in the present study. A total of 5,825 individuals were encountered within the village. The study revealed a high incidence of both Ae. albopictus totalling 2,708 individuals, and Cx. quinquefasciatus, comprising 721 individuals, in larval stages present in the breeding containers found within the village of Bau. The mosquito species with the lowest number was Tripteroides sp. with only three individuals collected over the six-month study. An understanding of the distribution and abundance of mosquito species in village is crucial to raise awareness and implement effective vector control measures.
