Temporal Variations in Rainfall and Temperature and their Effects on the River Discharge in the Mara River Basin
Authors: Ayuyo Isaac , Krhoda George , Mukhovi Stellah , Nyandega Isaiah
Published: December 2020

The Mara River basin is one of the important transboundary resources in Eastern Africa that not only serve Kenya and Tanzania where it is located as one of the waterheads but also serve the lower countries of Sudan and Egypt. Variations in weather conditions, especially rainfall and temperature in the basin have impacts beyond the basin. The environmental processes that relate to variation in weather conditions include river flow regimes, vegetation cover, agro-calendar and wildlife. This paper looked at how variations in rainfall and temperature affect the river discharge in the Mara basin in order to determine the nature of rainfall and temperature variations in relation to river discharge in the basin. Observed long-term daily rainfall, temperature and river discharge covering 1983 – 2014 period, are used in time series analyses to measure periodicity and trend in rainfall, temperature and river discharge. The relationship between river discharge and the weather elements is determined using linear correlation analysis and multiple regression procedures at ? = 0.05. The results of the data analysis reveal that, the long-term variations in temperature, rainfall and river discharge are such that temperatures are tending toward increase while rainfall and river discharge are tending towards decline. Further, variations in rainfall and temperature conditions indicate un-seasonality in the timing and duration of monthly variations. The variations in rainfall, temperature and discharge series are statistically not significant (Mann Kendall trend test). The relationship between variations in rainfall and temperature with river discharge is that rainfall has stronger linear correlation with river discharge than temperature and therefore declining trends in rainfall are causing reduction in river discharge in the Mara basin. Measures should, therefore, be taken to reduce activities in the basin that are likely to impact on rainfall and temperature such as deforestation and encroachment on the water towers.

Abstract. This Community Partnership Program is in partnership with BINA USAHA Small and Medium Industries which is engaged in the metal welding industry. BINA USAHA also produces equipment and simple machines for industrial processing of agricultural products from surrounding communities, such as tobacco chopper machines and coffee peeler. The production equipment owned by the partners is still conventional. This condition causes low production capacity, in addition, the existing equipment is less ergonomic, so it often creates work inconvenience for employees. Apart from low production capacity, the use of conventional equipment will also result in poor product quality, because the uniformity of the dimensions of the workmanship cannot be maintained. Meanwhile, problems in the field of management, product marketing are still limited to certain areas. This is due to the lack of information received by partners in finding areas for product marketing, lack of marketing networks and the marketing area is not yet extensive. This activity uses a participatory community empowerment model / Participatory Rural Appraisal so that it requires active participation from partners. The solutions offered to solve the problems faced by partners in this PKM scheme community service activities are: a). Equipment development, b). Production process training, c). Develop a marketing model. The output target to be achieved from this activity is the application of science and technology ROLLS BENDING MACHINE at IKM BINA USAHA, so as to increase the competitiveness of IKM products and improve the welfare of the community.

Estudio arqueométrico del soporte marmóreo de una escultura de Livia hallada en la ciudad romana de Asido (Medina Sidonia, Cádiz)
Authors: Ontiveros Esther , Beltrán Fortes José , Loza María Luisa
Published: December 2020

Este artículo muestra el estudio arqueométrico realizado sobre una escultura de Livia, hallada en la ciudad romana de Asido (actual Medina Sidonia, Cádiz, España), conservada en dos partes disociadas (cabeza y cuerpo), con objeto de ampliar el conocimiento sobre el hallazgo escultórico localizado actualmente en el museo de Cádiz. Estas piezas elaboradas en mármoles blancos han sido analizadas desde el punto de vista mineralógico-petrográfico y geoquímico y posteriormente, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio comparativo con material de canteras explotadas y comercializadas en el sur de Hispania, así como con otros mármoles foráneos de amplio uso en época romana en la provincia Baetica. Los resultados analíticos indican que ambas piezas, aunque con rasgos texturales y composicionales diferentes, pueden provenir de una misma cantera. Los rasgos petrográficos son coincidentes con otras variedades tanto locales como foráneas, pero sus componentes químicos mayoritarios y trazas han permitido establecer como origen más probable las canteras de Almadén de la Plata (Sevilla, España). El mármol de la cabeza de tamaño de grano grueso, aspecto translúcido y sacaroideo presenta contenido en Cl y Zn, Zr y La; que permiten atribuir como origen a una variedad de mármol blanco calcítico translucido con venas rosáceas, típico de Almadén de la Plata. Por otra parte los contenidos similares en MgO, Fe2O3, Ba y trazas de Th observados en el mármol del cuerpo, indican su correlación con una variedad de mármol blanco de tamaño de grano más heterogéneo con venas grisáceas y textura bandeada, donde se alternan bandas de grano medio a grueso con bandas de grano más fino, también típico de estas antiguas canteras. Este estudio también pone de manifiesto la cuidadosa selección del material que se usaba en la elaboración de las cabezas-retratos de las esculturas romanas.
Retouching and surroundings: tips and tricks for conservation students
Authors: Tonini Francesca
Published: December 2020

Since the publication of the “Teoria del restauro” by Cesare Brandi in 1963, the question of retouching still raises theoretical debates among the stakeholders. Deliberately focusing on the practical context in which retouching is performed, and relaying on personal experience as a professional restorer and professor, here are some useful tools to best accomplish this phase of intervention: the setting up of the work space, the choice of light, the care of clothing, the implementation of procedures for the protection of health and personal and environmental safety.
Image processing methods integrated to imaging and material characterisation for the study of incunabula illustrations: an innovative multi-analytical approach on a case-study
Authors: Bottura Scardina Silvia , Themudo Barata Filipe , Nogueira Alves Alice , Miguel Catarina
Published: December 2020

This study focuses on the application of a multi-analytical approach combining image processing techniques, imaging studies and material characterisation of a French late fifteen-early sixteen century incunabulum – the BPE, Inc.438. The first study goal was to verify the potential of computational methods in NIR imaging to retrieve accurate reconstructions of the engraving printings by Germain Hardouyn. For this aspect, two representative scenes were chosen: Trinity, f.8r; Saint Anthony the Abbot, f.61v. The applied methodology allowed faster creation of digital reconstructions while the material analysis proved the use of azurite, malachite, vermilion, lead white and ochres, and their NIR response was assessed in the context of the digital processing. The second goal was to make a comparison between chosen illuminations and engraved references of the same representations from two incunabula of the British Library, unravelling the illuminator’s intentional iconographic alteration based on visual and theological criteria.
The case of Capogrossi in Rome: criteria and limits in the retouching process of a contemporary mural painting
Authors: Mezzadri Paola , Sidoti Giancarlo
Published: December 2020

This paper focuses on the reintegration treatments studied for a contemporary mural painting, which was designed and carried out by the Italian artist Giuseppe Capogrossi in 1954. This forgotten masterpiece is located on the ceilings of the main double staircase at the entrance of the Airone, an ex-cinema theatre in Rome, which was designed and planned during the Fifties by the famous architects Adalberto Libera, Eugenio Montuori and by the engineer Leo Calini. After a brief introduction based on the conservation history of the building and on the painting itself, it will be described criteria and limits in the reintegration process of a sample area of this highly degraded polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) based mural. The materials selected in the reintegration project, based on natural polymers and synthetic polymers, will be theoretically compared with one another and it will be explained why some of these could be appropriate and effective, while others could not chromatically work in this particular case.
The retouching on archaeological metal artifacts: reflections and proposals, between theory and practice
Authors: Basilissi Vilma , Pannuzi Simona , Rivaroli Laura
Published: December 2020

When the restoration of archaeological metal artifacts is considered, the reconstruction and chromatic treatment of the gaps often determine the correct reading of the object, by suggesting its original morphology and external coloring as linked to the degraded surfaces.However, for such a kind of artifact, it is particularly frequent to deal with a remarkable diversity of reconstructions and integrations related to conceptions usually based on opposing principles ranging from mimetic integrations up to a strict rigorism. The purpose of the present work is to contribute to the definition of a conservative intervention protocol based on the reversibility to get a correct and widely perceptive presentation of the restoration work for this kind of artifacts, aimed at their formal reconstruction and aesthetic retouching.

Esta investigación analiza por primera vez las singulares y poco conocidas techumbres del palacio renacentista Casa de los Pinelo en Sevilla. Tras sufrir importantes transformaciones al convertirse en Pensión Don Marcos (1885-1964), fue declarado monumento histórico (1954) y expropiado por el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla (1964). Entonces se acometieron profundas intervenciones y restauraciones por los arquitectos Jesús Gómez-Millán (1967-1971) y Rafael Manzano Martos (1969-1981) para alojar las sedes de las Reales Academias Sevillanas de Buenas Letras y de Bellas Artes, uso que aún mantiene. Siguiendo un excepcional texto de 1542, transcrito para este trabajo, se ofrece un recorrido inédito por las distintas techumbres, hoy conservadas, transformadas o desaparecidas, ratificando su datación. Se aportan plantas generales y fotografías del estado actual, junto a datos inéditos sobre intervenciones documentadas que facilitan la valoración de su rico y diverso conjunto.
Retouching unvarnished acrylic emulsion paintings, a comparative study
Authors: Jacqmin Clémence , Soldano Alexia
Published: December 2020

Acrylic films have specific characteristics such as sensibility to polar organic solvents (and in some extent water) and are prone to accidental superficial alterations. Most of the necessary retouching caused by accidental alterations is directly on the film so the notion of reversibility is crucial. This is why this study is focused on retouching media that are already proven to be suitable for acrylic paintings. Those materials are then soluble in either water or aliphatic hydrocarbons. The tested materials are Aquazol® 200 and 500, Klucel® G, gum Arabic, and Regalrez® 1094 mixed with pigments. Ready to use materials (Aquacryl®, QOR®, and Winsor & Newton® watercolours) were also tested. Various criteria were examined: first, all the materials were tested unpigmented and mixed with titanium white. Then, their gloss and colour change were measured, to see which material is more prone to produce matte films. A set of samples were then exposed to artificial light aging, and another set exposed to high relative humidity in order to isolate the impact of light and humidity on the gloss and colour of the resins (like yellowing) and observe how the retouching could behave in poor conservation conditions. Empirical tests were also conducted: the resins were mixed with five different pigments to see difference in opacity and saturation between materials. Most importantly, the materials were tested on naturally aged acrylic paintings, to see which material(s) are easier to use. The aim of this study was not to find the best retouching material, but rather to validate and enlarge the possibilities for the retouching of acrylic painting.
Semiautomated glycoproteomics data analysis workflow for maximized glycopeptide identification and reliable quantification

Published: December 2020

Glycoproteomic data are often very complex, reflecting the high structural diversity of peptide and glycan portions. The use of glycopeptide-centered glycoproteomics by mass spectrometry is rapidly evolving in many research areas, leading to a demand in reliable data analysis tools. In recent years, several bioinformatic tools were developed to facilitate and improve both the identification and quantification of glycopeptides. Here, a selection of these tools was combined and evaluated with the aim of establishing a robust glycopeptide detection and quantification workflow targeting enriched glycoproteins. For this purpose, a tryptic digest from affinity-purified immunoglobulins G and A was analyzed on a nano-reversed-phase liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry platform with a high-resolution mass analyzer and higher-energy collisional dissociation fragmentation. Initial glycopeptide identification based on MS/MS data was aided by the Byonic software. Additional MS1-based glycopeptide identification relying on accurate mass and retention time differences using GlycopeptideGraphMS considerably expanded the set of confidently annotated glycopeptides. For glycopeptide quantification, the performance of LaCyTools was compared to Skyline, and GlycopeptideGraphMS. All quantification packages resulted in comparable glycosylation profiles but featured differences in terms of robustness and data quality control. Partial cysteine oxidation was identified as an unexpectedly abundant peptide modification and impaired the automated processing of several IgA glycopeptides. Finally, this study presents a semiautomated workflow for reliable glycoproteomic data analysis by the combination of software packages for MS/MS- and MS1-based glycopeptide identification as well as the integration of analyte quality control and quantification.

Published: December 2020

Interest in green synthesis methods for nanoparticle production with potential use in biology, pharmacy, and medicine is a forefront field in research. Among the routes described in the literature, the use of plant extracts as reducing and capping agents is one of the most promising. Turnera diffusa commonly called Damiana is a wild shrub traditionally used as aphrodisiac, diuretic, and for cancer and diabetes treatments. Its extracts are rich in flavonoid, phenolic, terpenoid, and other active compounds that possess antiallergic, antiviral, and antifungal activities. Besides, flavonoids have been reported to have a redox potential sufficient for metal ion reduction. Thus, this study reports a novel and facile method for green gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) synthesis using T. diffusa extracts. The samples were fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ultraviolet-visible, dynamic light scattering, X-ray photoelectron, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopies. The results showed high efficiency of T. diffusa extracts to reduce and stabilize the AuNPs which showed spherical shape, 24 nm diameter, negative surface charge, and high colloidal stability at biological pH and alkaline media. Additionally, its antimicrobial activity was evaluated showing high antiseptic capacity against gram-negative Salmonella enteritis and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 bacteria.

Although the central nervous system has been known as immune-privileged for many decades, the psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune relationships studied in integrity, in recent years has opened a new era called neuro-immunology. Illumination of the bi-directional cross-talk between immune and central nervous systems, both of which are of cardinal importance for homeostasis, survival, progress and wellbeing, and, is highly expected to provide an integrated understanding of neuropathological and degenerative processes. Bioengineering is another novel inter-discipline, which has been developing with great momentum recently. Adaptability, ownership, and mastery of the recipient and the durability and optimal performance of the devices used, seem to be the outmost priority requirement for success. In the context of translational medicine, collaboration between medicine with bioengineering, systems engineering, and material science is definitely the first inevitable requirement for survival and progressive development in the next century.

In this review, 3D bioprinting methods and types of bioinks are discussed in detail, with special emphasis on the milestone applications in the bioprinting field.
INDIAN DECENTRINGS OF MACBETH: POSTMODERN CREATIVITY IN FILMIC ADAPTATIONS BY VISHAL BHARDWAJ AND JAYARAJ
Authors: Maitra Sritama , Mukherjee Sangeeta
Published: December 2020

The never-ending contemporaneity of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is established by the experimental adaptations of the play that have transcended time and space. The filmic adaptations, in particular, have recontextualized the original dramatic text in several innovative ways. This paper sets out to analyse from certain postmodern angles the creative and innovative adaptation of a classic literary text from a Scottish setting to two completely different Indian settings (geographically, culturally and politically) and also from 16th century Scotland, United Kingdom to two different time periods in India – Maqbool (director Vishal Bhardwaj, 2003) being a reimagination of Macbeth set in the 21st century underworld of Mumbai, India and Veeram (director Jayaraj, 2016) being an attempt to link the play with 13th century Kerala, India. The transmutations occur at multiple levels and this lends new interpretations to the text in two entirely different temporal and spatial contexts, though both of these adaptations are Indian.

A total of 308 species of the five main classes of benthic molluscs were obtained (106 bivalves, 185 gastropods, 13 polyplacophorans, two scaphopods and two cephalopods). This is a significant increase in the number of species (246 new records) compared to the 62 species previously recorded more than 10 years ago. The distribution in the 31 localities of the bay is given for the first time for most of the species, together with information on its ecological rarity (incidence in the samples). Two families of bivalves (Veneridae and Mytilidae) and three families of gastropods (Calyptraeidae, Muricidae and Collumbellidae) comprised ~ 30% of all species. Ecological rarity was evident with 45 families (45.0%) with only one species and 178 species (57.8%) collected in one site and 67 (21.8%) in two sites. The molluscs of Bahía de Chamela represent 12.2% of all species recorded in the Mexican Pacific. Their biogeographic affinities are mostly related to the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) including the oceanic islands and a few are restricted to the Tropical Mexican Pacific (TMP). Some have broader distributions to adjacent northern and southern temperate regions of the American Pacific, one to the western Atlantic, two pantropical (PAN) and two cosmopolitans (COS). The range distribution of each species was reviewed and updated, thus finding that seven species have extended their ranges of geographic distribution.

Autism can be defined as a common developmental disorder that manifests itself as a disconnection in social communication. In individuals with autism, sometimes speech does not develop at all, and even if it develops, the individual does not prefer to communicate by talking. Thus, other ways are needed to communicate with individuals with autism. Today, the most important of these ways is technology, especially educational technology. The use of technology for individuals with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is on the rise today. The purpose of this study was to present up-to-date information on research using technology-based intervention methods in teaching skills in different developmental areas to individuals from different age groups with ASD and to reveal whether this intervention method is effective. This study was carried out using qualitative research methodology, document analysis and related content analysis. Scopus is based on the analysis of published documents searched with the keywords ‘autism and technology-based’ in the database. All articles published in Scopus were examined. The distribution of affiliated universities by years, subject areas, document types, country/regions and author themes were examined. Various findings emerged in terms of determining the importance of the analysis of technology-supported applications in terms of content of individuals published in the Scopus database on individuals with ASD. A total of 95 studies were examined. It was concluded that most of the studies were conducted in 2016 and 2019. It revealed that the first study was conducted in 2008. It was mostly published as a conference announcement. The United States and United Kingdom are among the countries with the most research. The research topics were written mostly in English, and two were published in French.

It is an indisputable fact that technology is a part of our lives. It is known that research and education technologies are concentrated. By examining the articles and dissertations published in the field, the scope, strengths and weaknesses of the studies were determined. An important gap has been filled in to guide researches what kind of studies may be needed in the future. Many studies for this purpose were found in the literature. However, since similar studies dealing with educational technologies are outdated, this study is considered important in terms of gathering current research trends and results. The aim of this study is to analyse the articles published in the Scopus database on educational technologies and instructional technologies, thematically and methodologically. The study was designed by adopting a case study from qualitative research models. The sample has not been determined for postgraduate dissertations to be included in the study, and it was aimed to reach the whole universe. In this context, all articles have been accessed through the library system of the university in the Scopus database included. The keywords ‘educational technologies’ and ‘instructional technologies’ were used in the article search. The document types have been examined by year, by country, by authors, by field research and by place of publication.
Intelligent Technology-Based Improvement of Teaching Ability of Professional Courses in Art Design
Authors: Peng Jing
Published: December 2020

Despite the development of intelligent technology, there are many problems in the improvement of teaching ability of professional courses in art design, namely, the impact from multiple factors, the imperfectness of the evaluation index system, and the lack of quantitative analysis. To solve the problems, this paper probes deep into the connotations and influencing factors of the teaching ability of the said courses in the context of intelligent technology. Through theoretical analysis, several strategies were presented to improve the teaching ability of the said courses. To effectively evaluate the ability, the authors set up a robust evaluation index system from multiple angles, and provided a quantitative analysis model. The research results provide a good reference for art design teachers to improve their teaching ability.

This paper focuses on the importance of policies, procedures and employee training and awareness as aid to manage risks associated with the usage of mobile devices in local government entities in the Namakwa District of the Northern Cape region. A quantitative research method was applied in the study by obtaining responses from a sample of participants in the Namakwa District of the Northern Cape region, using closed-ended questions in the questionnaire, which provided the participants with a predetermined list of coded responses. The results were analyzed and indicated that the majority of the respondents do utilize mobile devices in their organizations. In general, these entities make more use of laptops than any other types of mobile devices. The results indicate that these organizations also still apply the traditional approach of providing their employees with specifically approved types of mobile devices (corporate-owned device) and therefore, do not support the Bring-Your-Own-Device or Choose-Your-Own-Device strategy. There is a clear indication that more efforts are required to ensure improvement, specifically relating to the development of a privacy and security policy and/or procedures as well as providing user training and awareness within municipal organizations.

Published: December 2020

Children with diagnosis of down syndrome has different kinds of personalities, mental states, and talents similar to other children. The key point is that every child needs proper support at the right time. There are options like special education programs, physical and other therapies, and play groups. However, there are not any electronic games to support the education and improvement of these children. The goal of this study is to develop a mobile game for children with down syndrome, in order to help them learn everyday knowledge by using a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet. In most cases pedagogues use puzzle or paper based card games to teach these children the necessary knowledge they need to maintain their lives. This study aims to optimize the learning process of children with down syndrome by providing educators electronic games they can use to teach them in a mobile application which will enrich the teaching process in addition to update their teaching methods to Industry 4.0 standards.
Cyrano de Bergerac and his voyages to the Moon, the Sun… and the brain
Authors: Benkő Rita
Published: December 2020

Au XVIe-XVIIe siècles, nombre de libertins cachaient leurs pensées en obscurcissant leurs idées et en mélangeant les anciennes et les nouvelles théories. La méthode ellaborée par Cyrano permet d’entrevoir les méthodes mises en oeuvre par les premiers penseurs modernes pour dissimuler leurs idées hérétiques. En tant que chercheuse en biologie, je me suis intéresssée à la biologie des XVIe et XVIIe siècles et à la compréhension de la raison humaine de cette période pour évaluer comment Cyrano décrivait les œuvres du cerveau, principalement dans ses romans. Ses écrits ouvrent une fenêtre sur la compréhension moderne de la biologie et sur certains de ses nouveaux concepts, ainsi que, probablement, la première enquête sur les jumeaux aboutissant à une description de l’empathie en tant que fonction motrice. Une analyse des données récentes sur le déclin mental des personnes âgées en relation avec les paroles de son père permet de considérer leur relation. Le Combat de Cyrano de Bergerac avec le singe de Brioché, au bout du Pont-Neuf de d’Assoucy peut fournir un aperçu des tendances dangereuses du jeune Cyrano et un portrait de la célèbre bataille de la porte de Nesle.
