Arrowroot tubers (Maranta Arundinace L.) are a tuber plant that has potential as a source of carbohydrates. Arrowroot tuber plants have the potential to adapt well to various environmental conditions including water stress. The aim of this research was to identify the effect of water stress on yield production (number, weight, length and diameter) and evaluate the nutritional content of arrowroot tubers. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 7 water stress treatments, namely (P1) 15 days of waterlogging, (P2) 10 days of waterlogging, (P3) 5 days of waterlogging, (P4) daily watering, (P5) watering every 5 days, (P6) watering every 10 days, and (P7) watering every 15 days which was repeated in 2 experimental repetitions and 2 measurement repetitions. The results of the research showed that there was no decrease in yield in treatments P1 to P3, however in treatments P6 and P7 there was a difference in the yield of lower tuber weight compared to the daily watering treatment (P4) and the once every 5 days watering treatment (P5). Treatment The results of proximate analysis of arrowroot tubers with the best yield production (P5) showed that the water, ash, fat, protein and carbohydrate content of fresh tubers were respectively 69.82%, 1.47%, 0.21%, 0, 45% and 28.15%, while arrowroot flour is 2.28%, 4.77%, 0.33%, 1.47% and 91.16%. The results of this research provide information that arrowroot plants can be planted on land that has the potential to be flooded during the arrowroot growing season, but arrowroot plants require sufficient water to optimize their production. The high carbohydrate content of arrowroot tubers reflects its potential as an alternative food source to replace wheat and rice.

Authors: Zhao Bei
Published: January 2024

This corpus-based study delves into the expression of conditional constructions in Mandarin Chinese, employing a detailed analysis of both written and spoken data derived from four commonly used Mandarin corpora. Utilizing a mixed qualitative method, the research focuses on four widely-used conditional markers: rúguǒ, jiǎrú, yàoshì, and yàobushì. The investigation aims to understand the syntactic function of these markers in initiating basic conditional statements, as well as to explore their varied use across different genres. The study reveals that while these markers share a common role in forming conditional sentences, they exhibit significant differences in terms of frequency of use and semantic nuances. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of Mandarin syntax and semantics, highlighting the complexity and diversity of language use in different communicative contexts. The findings offer insights into the intricate ways in which Mandarin speakers express conditionality, enhancing the comprehension of this aspect of the language.

Analysis of the Characteristics of Narrative Types in Contemporary Chinese Political Discourses: Taking Xi Jinping’s Discourses on the History of the CPC as an Example
Authors: Wu Caixia
Published: January 2024

Based on the different contents, topics, and characteristics of the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Xi Jinping’s important discourses on the history of the CPC integrate three narrative types: philosophical narrative, historical narrative, and literary narrative. The integration of the three typical narrative types enables the important discourses on the history of the CPC to contain profound philosophical speculation, heavy historical connotation, and aesthetic and literary conception. The value and significance of exploring the narrative types of Xi Jinping’s important discourses on the history of the CPC lie in continuously strengthening the study of Marxist classic works and promoting the Sinicization of Marxism, improving the Party history narrators’ theoretical attainment and excellent traditional Chinese cultural literacy, actively participating in various forms of social practice activities, accumulating socialized discourse materials through close contact with people from different social classes, and enriching the “corpus” of discourses of the history of the CPC, thus making the narratives deeper and more concrete.
Integrated Adoption of Domestication and Foreignization: A Study on the English Translation of Prelude to the Melody of Water by Su Shi
Authors: Yin Ming , Zhizhong Zhang
Published: January 2024

This paper is grounded in the context of poetry translation and probes into the English translation of Prelude to the Melody of Water by Su Shi, with translation strategies of foreignization and domestication as the theoretical framework. Despite the fact that it involves some numbers, it is qualitative in nature and adopts the method of textual analysis. It delves into multifaceted challenges encountered by the translator, encompassing cultural and linguistic perspectives inherent in the poetic work. Concerning the cultural perspective, it respectively investigates the translation of culturally-loaded terms and ideorealm, advocating for the application of foreignization in translating them to preserve the exotic flavor of the source culture and encourage target-culture readers to explore the cultural differences in the translated poetry. Regarding the linguistic perspective, it separately explores the adaption to grammatical completeness and rhyme of the English language, upholding the application of domestication in translating them to ensure the readability and musicality of the translated poetry. Through a close examination of four challenges within the two perspectives, this paper finds that the integrated adoption of foreignization and domestication facilitates the cross-cultural and cross-linguistic transmission of poetry, transcending the traditional dichotomy of viewing these two translation strategies as binaries.
Advanced Recursive Best-First Search (RBFS) based Routing Protocol for Multi-hop and Multi-Channel Cognitive Wireless Mesh Networks
Authors: Hassan Zahid , Asaduzzaman
Published: January 2024

Cognitive Wireless Mesh Network (CWMN) is an opportunistic network in which radio channels can be assigned according to their availability to establish connections among nodes. After establishing a radio connection among nodes, it is necessary to find an optimal route from the source node to the destination node in the network. If there remain more channels among nodes, the minimum weighted channel should be taken into account to establish expected routes. The graph theoretic approach fails to model the multi-channel cognitive radio networks due to abrupt failure in finding new successful routes as it can’t figure multi-channel networks. In this paper, a multi-edged graph model is being proposed to overcome the problems of cognitive radio networks, such as flooding problems, channel accessing problems etc. A new channel accessing algorithm has been introduced, and optimal routes have been selected using a heuristic algorithm named RBFS.

Published: January 2024

The incorporation of cultural elements in a foreign language (FL) classroom has been a subject of interest for many scholars over the past decades. The literature clearly demonstrates the widespread recognition of culture’s inevitable emergence in foreign language instruction. Nonetheless, there is a belief that culture should be instructed in the same way language is. Therefore, this short review provides operational definitions of culture within the field of education while shedding light on the distinction between objective culture and subjective culture. Furthermore, it explores the inseparable connection between language and culture. This paper stresses the significance of teaching culture alongside language, highlighting its natural emergence in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting and the need for a purposeful and structured approach to teaching it. Moreover, the review suggests techniques and methods for instructing cultural aspects in an EFL classroom, particularly in the context of today’s interconnected world.
Sociology of Tribal Community: Lebanese Emigrants Rethinking Pedigree as Pan-Tribal Cultural Individuality in Post-War Sierra Leone.
Authors: Bangura Mohamed
Published: January 2024

Academics critiquing pedigree and tribal categorisation in post-war Sierra Leone have lodged diminutive concentration on how Lebanese emigrants traverse the Sierra Leone tribal categorisation scheme and how they personality cultural individuality regardless of their daily social experience with foisted tribal categorisation in Sierra Leone. This social research addresses this lacuna by exploring foreign-born Lebanese Emigrant's social distinctiveness in the circumstance of an inflicted Sierra Leonean tribal categorisation social system. The upshot detailed at this moment shapes a segment of inclusive social research that explored how Lebanese emigrants in Sierra Leone's personality interpreted the encounter of tribalisation. The social researcher debated that by interpreting their tribe as Ash-sha’b Al-Lubnani, respondents reinterpreted the tribe as a pan-tribal cultural individuality, disregarding tribal individuality from physical features and complexion. Some emigrants who certainly are not personality individualised in conditions of composition lodged tribal categories are distinguishing cultural interpretations of individuality in post-war Sierra Leone.

Chilgoza (Pinus gerardiana) forests naturally exist on the highest elevations of the Himalaya Mountains in the provinces of Paktia, Kunar, Nangarhar, Nuristan, and Paktika in the southeast of Afghanistan. These natural chilgoza forests provide a sizable source of income for the people living in these areas. The spread and natural regeneration of chilgoza pine forests is declining in the natural environment as a result of overharvesting, erratic annual seed production, and prolonged dormancy; therefore, it is necessary to find an effective method to enhance seed germination and seedling growth. Different Gibberellic Acid (GA3) hormone concentrations (50 ppm, 75 ppm, and 100 ppm), the removal of the seed coat, and control (untreated) treatments were used to conduct an experiment for this study. For each treatment, seedling growth parameters and the percentage of seeds that germinated were examined. The results showed that the T4 treatment had the highest average length of seedling, shoot, and root, measuring 13.34 cm, 8.1 cm, and 8.4 cm, respectively; whereas the T1 treatment had the shortest average lengths of seedling, shoot, and root, measuring 11.22 cm, 6.5 cm, and 6.2 cm, respectively. The greatest percentage of germination (78.66%) was observed in T4 (100 ppm), whereas the lowest percentage (26%) was documented in T1 (Control). The highest average number of leaves was recorded in T4 (22.25) and the lowest in T1 (15.02) treatment. The results indicated that treating chilgoza pine seeds in a 100 ppm solution of GA3 for 24 hours enhances both the seed germination and sprouting seedling growth.

Peptic ulcer has been a ravaging gastrointestinal disorder in clinical practice. The symptomatic effect is the perforation of the stomach lining. The study was aimed at evaluating the anti-ulcer activity and phytochemical constituents of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum The powdered leaves were macerated in 95%v/v of methanol for 72 h, and the dried extract obtained was washed with n-hexane (Hex), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and butanol (Buta) successively using the solvent partition method to fractionate. Phytochemical constituents were evaluated using validated methods. Acute toxicity was performed using a modified Lorke’s method. Antiulcer studies were conducted using an ethanol-induced ulcer in the rat model. The rats received 200, 400 and 20 mg per kg body weight of Ocimum .gratissimum extract, its fractions and omeprazole respectively once daily for 14 days. The extraction yielded 3.3 % methanol extract, 16.8 % n-hexane 24.4 % ethyl acetate and 5.2 % butanol fractions. The phytochemical constituents of the extracts are alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, carbohydrates, steroids and saponin. There was no mortality even at an oral dose of 5000 mg of extract/kg of mouse in the acute toxicity evaluation. The extract and its fractions (200 and 400 mg/kg doses) exhibited dose-dependent ulcer curative. The Hex fraction (400 mg/kg) demonstrated the best anti-ulcer effect with 78.5 % and ulcer index (UI) of 0.60±0.24 when compared to the standard with 50% and 1.40±0.24 respectively. A significant reduction (p< 0.05) in the UI was observed in rats treated with the Ocimum. gratissimum extract and its fractions.

This paper focuses on the implementation of a solar-powered pump system integrated with IoT technology for agricultural irrigation control. By leveraging the properties of the system, such as humidity, temperature, soil moisture, time collection based on solar panel activity, and peculiarities like using a mobile app and automated control, the project aims to provide an efficient and sustainable solution for irrigation.The system utilizes humidity sensors strategically placed in the soil to monitor moisture levels, enabling precise irrigation control. To enhance user experience and accessibility, a user-friendly mobile app is developed. This app allows farmers to remotely monitor and control the irrigation process, providing real-time data, irrigation scheduling options, and the ability to adjust system settings. Through IoT integration, the system enables automated control of the pump based on predefined parameters. By analyzing sensor data, including humidity levels and solar panel activity, the system autonomously adjusts irrigation operations, reducing manual intervention and improving overall efficiency. From the acquired results, at a temperature of 37.2 0C, the humidity level is low at 49.6%, thereby activating the irrigation pump which resulted to decrease in  temperature at 26.70C after a period of 1hr 48mins with the humidity, and soil moisture levels at 73.9%, and 88% respectively.  The developed system monitors and balance the soil moisture level through automated irrigation process which is solar powered and remotely managed.

Sediments from freshwater bodies of the Northern Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria act as reservoirs for mineral and chemical nutrients washed from different sources around the environment. This research aimed at assessing the chemical and macronutrients of the sediments from freshwater bodies and the geomorphology of the area. A global positioning system, Model N9 GARMIN eTrexLegend™, personal navigator® was used to determine the geomorphological features while a polyvinyl chloride tube of 1.0 m long, 25 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm thick was used for sediment collection from a depth of 0-15 cm. The result of the chemical properties of the sediment; pH, organic carbon, organic matter and total nitrogen were found to be higher in dry season whereas phosphorus was high in the rainy season and there was no variation in the macronutrient across the dry and rainy season. Sand had the highest percentage across both seasons for particle distribution. This study revealed that sediments are rich in macronutrients and can be employed for agricultural purposes.

Published: January 2024

In this study, we investigate the laminar boundary layer flow in two dimensions, steadiness, and incompressibility around a moving vertical flat plate in a uniform free stream of fluid with a convective surface boundary condition. The similarity transformation technique has been applied to convert the governing nonlinear partial differential equation into two nonlinear ordinary differential equations. By combining the finite difference method with the shooting technique, the problem is solved numerically. We present a tabular and graphical representation of the variation in dimensionless temperature and fluid-solid interface characteristics for various values of the Prandtl number. As a special case of the problem, a comparison between the current result and the previously published result demonstrates a good agreement.
