Három Kossuth-díjas bajai építész
Authors: Mezős Tamás
Published: March 2020

Két évtized különbséggel született Baja városában három fiatalember, akik az érettségi vizsga letétele után a Magyar Királyi József Nádor Műegyetemen az Építészeti Osztály, majd Kar hallgatói lettek. Mindhármójuk elnyerte a legrangosabb hazai állami kitüntetést, a Kossuth-díjat. Major Máté és Hajnóczi Gyula a Kar professzorai és a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia tagjai lettek. A legidősebb, Miskolczy László pedig gyakorló tervezőként vált a hazai építészet kiemelkedő alkotójává. Míg Major és Hajnóczi pályája a Műegyetemhez, közelebbről az építészettörténet oktatásához kötődött, addig Miskolczy 1956-ban, néhány hónappal a rangos elismerés átvétele után az Egyesült Államokba emigrált. Szerkezettervezőként új, választott hazájában ért el sikereket.

A dolgozat az azonos környezetből, egy kisvárosi értelmiségi, középosztálybeli családból induló, azonos hivatást választó és Magyarországon a legrangosabb kitüntetést elnyerő építészekre emlékezik. Miskolczy születésének 2020-ban lesz 120., Hajnóczi születésének pedig 100. évfordulója. Az évfordulókat kutatva derült ki, hogy Majort akadémiai levelező taggá 70 évvel ezelőtt, 1949-ben választották.

A fellelhető adatok alapján részlegesen rekonstruálható volt Miskolczy László hazai munkássága. Az elegáns bajai I. világháborús emlékműtől a Haditengerészeti emlékművön át néhány bérház, lakóház és középület megvalósult terveiig. A csúcspontot Miskolczy esetében feltétlenül a mátraházi kórház jelentette, a maga organikus kapcsolatai miatt.

Major Máté professzor pályája tervező építészként a tatabányai élmunkás házak tervezésével 1949-ben lezárult. A két háború közötti szakmapolitikai tevékenysége professzori kinevezésének elnyerése után teljesedett ki. Építészetelméleti munkássága mind a hazai, mind pedig a nemzetközi szakirodalomban visszhangra talált.

Hajnóczi Gyula az antik építészet európai jelentőségű kutatójaként és helyreállítójaként vált ismertté. Az aquincumi romkert bemutatásának és kivitelezésének tervezőjeként részesévé vált szinte valamennyi római kori emlék revitalizációjának. Építészetelméleti munkássága egy sajátos építészeti térelmélet bevezetőjének megalkotásában befejezetlen maradt, de gondolatai segítették az utódok gondolkodásának kialakulását a térfogalom megismerése területén.

Bevezetés: Hohenberger 2009-ben a totális mezorectális excízió
(TME) elvét átültette a kolonsebészetbe, és az új műtétet komplett mezokólikus
excíziónak nevezte el (CME). A CME lényege az érintett kolonszakasz eltávolítása
a viszcerális peritoneum sérülése nélkül az ellátó erek centrális lekötésével a
viszcerális és parietális fascia közötti embrionális rétegben preparálva. Ez
nyitottan és laparoszkóppal is végezhető. Célkitűzés: Válogatás
nélküli beteganyagon meggyőződni arról, hogy elvégezhető-e a CME laparoszkóppal
hasonló eredménnyel, mint nyílt műtét során. Eredmények: 2016.
09. 01. és 2019. 06. 30. között 156 műtét történt jobb oldali malignus
vastagbéldaganat miatt. 143 esetben végeztünk kuratív reszekciót, 63 férfi és 80
nőbetegnél. Az átlagéletkor férfiaknál 71,5 évnek, míg nőknél 73 évnek
bizonyult. 84 műtétet laparoszkóppal, 59 műtétet nyitottan végeztünk.
Konvencionális műtét 56 esetben, míg CME 87 esetben történt. Az átlagos
kolonhossz konvencionális műtétnél 22,34 cm, míg CME esetén 24,97 cm volt
(p = 0,18). A nyirokcsomók átlagos száma a hagyományos
műtétnél 15,4, míg CME esetén 16,9 volt (p = 0,24). Az átlagos
műtéti idő nyitott műtétnél 111, míg laparoszkópos műtétnél 136 perc volt
(p = 0,0014), az átlagos ápolási idő pedig a szövődményes
esetek nélkül a nyitott csoportban 7,47, míg a laparoszkópos csoportban 5,65
napnak bizonyult (p = 0,0004). Megbeszélés: A
korai eredmények alapján az mondható, hogy laparoszkóppal is elvégezhető a műtét
hasonló eredményekkel, valamivel rövidebb ápolási idővel.

Bevezetés: A laparoszkópos colontumor-sebészet létjogosultságát
több I/a szintű evidencia támasztja alá. A sigmatumorok és felső harmadi
rectumtumorok esetén is kiváló korai és késői eredményekről számoltak be a
laparoszkópos sebészet javára. A kemoirradiált rectumtumorok sebészetében kevés
az ilyen szintű irodalmi állásfoglalás. Anyag és módszer: 2006.
01. 01. és 2011. 12. 31. között 196 beteg kapott neoadjuváns kezelést alsó és
középső harmadi rectumtumor miatt a BAZ Megyei Kórház Sebészeti Osztályán. A 196
beteg közül 12 beteg nem volt követhető, így 184 beteg adatait elemeztük.
Laparoszkóposan operáltunk 67 beteget, ebből 15 esetben konverzió történt.
Nyitott műtétet végeztünk 117 betegnél. Eredmények: A
Dukes-stádiumok hasonlóak voltak, az ASA-stádium szintén. A betegek BMI
tekintetében sem mutattak jelentős különbséget. Az eltávolított specimenek
hossza és a tumorméret is hasonló volt. A betegség kiújulását meghatározó faktor
a körkörös reszekciós szél (CRM) érintettsége, a TME komplett kivitelezése, mely
saját anyagunkban a laparoszkópos technikánál is megfelelő volt, nem találtunk
szignifikáns eltérést (khí-négyzet teszt, p = 0,94). A műtéti
idők a laparoszkópos, konvertált és nyitott csoportban hasonlóak voltak, nem
volt szignifikáns különbség. Az ápolási idő a laparoszkópos csoportban volt a
legrövidebb, de a Mann–Whitney-teszt nem mutatott szignifikáns különbséget.
Jelentős különbség mutatkozott a laparoszkópos és nyitott csoport
transzfúzióigényében. A két csoport között a nyitott hátrányára szignifikáns
eltérés mutatkozik (khí-négyzet teszt, p = 0,04). Betegeink
utánkövetése során sem a betegség kiújulásában, sem a túlélésben nem találtunk
szignifikáns különbséget. Konklúzió: A laparoszkópos műtét
rövid távú előnyei mellett onkológiailag is biztonságos a rectum kemoirradiált
tumorainak megoldására.
Evidentiality and identity positioning in online disputes about language use in Hong Kong
Authors: McKeown Jamie , Ladegaard Hans J.
Published: March 2020

This paper analyses online disputes amongst a group of students about the use of language (Cantonese versus Putonghua) in Hong Kong. Using evidentiality and identity positioning frameworks, we analyse 44 student posts to a proprietary online forum. Particular attention is paid to the construction of a Hong Kong social identity, the various identity positions that underpin such a construction, and how such identity work is supported by the use of evidentiality. The analysis shows that Hong Kong locals are most often constructed as an oppressed, marginalised minority who are denied the right of authentic expression and are subject to a process of politically expedient cultural denigration. The analysis also shows that evidential choices are intimately bound with identity positions at both the discourse-production level and discourse-content level. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for applied linguistics in Hong Kong's schools and universities.
Mediating identities
Authors: Napier Jemina , Skinner Robert , Young Alys , Oram Rosemary
Published: March 2020

Deaf people's lives are frequently predicated on working with interpreters. Identity becomes known and performed through the translated self in many interactions with hearing, non-signing people. Taking an interdisciplinary approach in combining interpreting studies, deaf studies, applied linguistics and social research, the ‘Translating the Deaf Self’ project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), sought to explore the experience of deaf people and other stakeholders of the lived experience of being translated. Drawing on discourses of identity, representation and trust, this paper gives an overview of the findings from two focus groups with sign language interpreters (n = 7) on their perspectives of the experiences of deaf signers being ‘known’ through interpreting. Social constructionism underpinned our approach to data analysis and the dominant theme of ‘trust’ was examined with reference to a framework for trustworthiness developed by Alan Jones and Samantha Sin. In particular, we focus on the issue of trust in relation to representation, relationships, ability and boundaries. The main findings demonstrate that sign language interpreters are acutely aware of the responsibility they have to represent deaf signers, especially at work, and thus represent their professional-and-deaf identities, and the important role of trust for deaf professionals to feel represented through interpreters.

Published: March 2020

Social work writing, often referred to as ‘recording’ or ‘paperwork’, is frequently the target of criticism in reviews and public media reporting in the UK. However, despite the many criticisms made and its significance in social work practice, little empirical research has been carried out on professional social work writing. This paper draws on findings from an ESRC-funded study in the UK to offer a baseline characterization of the nature and function of writing in contemporary social work. Drawing on text and ethnographic data, the paper foregrounds three key dimensions: the number of written texts, key textual functionalities and genres; the specific ways in which ‘text work’ constitutes everyday social work professional practice, using case studies from the domains of adults, children and mental health; and the concerns of social workers about the amount of time they are required to spend on writing. The baseline characterization provides empirical evidence for claims made about the increased bureaucratization of social work practice, signalling contemporary social work as a ‘writing-intensive’ profession which is at odds with social workers’ professional ‘imaginary’. The paper concludes by outlining the educational and policy implications of the baseline characterization and calls for debate about the nature of contemporary social work practice.
Social Reality in the System of Textual Influence: the Breaking Point in Russian History
Authors: Atanov Andrei
Published: March 2020

The author considers texts which have significantly influenced the formation of the subject and subject relations in Russia in the early to mid-20th century. These are the texts by V. Lenin and I. Stalin which concern the proletarian revolution, capitalism and imperialism. In these texts, one can reveal non-observance of the canonical Marxist dogmas by V. Lenin and I. Stalin due to the changed historical context, according to them. The research is based on the following methodological principles: dialectics, theory of objects, regression and logical analysis of conceptual framework. The study object is the structure of phantasms emerging when the position of the object is changed in regard to the subject, which is exposed to impact or influenced by someone or something. The subject of the research is textual reality expressed through the categories of «possibility» and «real life» and through the notion of «will» which allows the author to clearly specify the primary bases of the object-subject relations in an influence situation.

Published: March 2020

Currently, one can observe accelerated implementation of high-tech solutions including those developed on the basis of artificial intelligence in various sectors of economy and public relations, in particular, in education. In this regard, the article discusses the main challenges that the 4th industrial revolution poses to the higher education system. These challenges include the automation of a number of professions; lack of competent personnel; digitalization of the educational process, etc. The prospects of introducing a blockchain to fix personal achievements in the context of the development of artificial intelligence technologies in particular, are highlighted. The possibilities of processing large volumes of data (Big Data) are described in order to create ratings of universities, departments and teaching staff. The experience of introducing artificial intelligence technologies into the creation of an individual educational path and the formation of a «digital footprint» at the STI University «20.35» is analyzed. Namely, the creation of a digital fingerprint and its application; building a student’s optimal development path; effective team building and improving the effectiveness of e-learning are considered. The conclusion is made about the need to preserve the universal basic component of higher education.

Published: March 2020

The purpose of the study is to assess the financial situation of persons aged 60 years and older on the basis of the anonymous survey data and to analyze the dependence of their health on the level of their material well-being. The survey was conducted in 2017. A total of 967 people aged 60 years and older living in Moscow were interviewed. All of them are under medical supervision in the city polyclinic. The questionnaire included questions about the amount of the monthly income of the family per each member. Using the term «family», the authors mean a group of people who share a common household, regardless of the degree of their relationship. Health assessment was conducted on the basis of one’s self-assessment. The average level of self-assessment of health in each group was calculated. The study made it possible to determine the presence of gender differences in the level of material well-being of the population aged 60–69 years. Thus, men have a lower proportion of low income and a higher proportion of well-off persons compared to women. In the older age group (70 years and older), gender differences in the level of material well-being are not detected. There is no classical correlation between the level of disposable income and the value of self-assessment of one’s health, but the level of self-esteem in the group of better-off men in all age groups was a little higher than in the group of low-income people, while women had higher self-esteem in the low-income age groups of 60–69 years. Only the better-off group of the older age women showed higher self-esteem. The degree of decline in health self-esteem was higher in the low-income group, regardless of gender, but among the women, the degree of decline in self-esteem was higher due to higher scores in the younger age groups and lower scores in the older age groups.

Authors: Vilchinskaia Marina , Volokhova Svetlana
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the relevant problem of the formation of successful competitiveness of young professionals in the regional labor market, i.e. the development of a competitiveness model of a university graduate. The article discusses the concept of «a specialist’s competitiveness» and substantiates the authors’ point of view on its content. The authors have analyzed the existing Russian and foreign approaches to the definition of the essence of a specialist’s competitiveness and highlighted the key competencies for the formation of successful competitiveness of a university graduate. The authors presented the results of the study, a sociological survey of employers, conducted in 2017, which allowed them to rank the competencies in terms of their importance for the production process. Methodological research tools include a sociological survey, statistical data processing and a survey of employers in the Irkutsk region. In the process of the study, a correlation between the form of ownership of the enterprise and the employers' assessment of the professional, business and personal competencies of a young specialist was established. The authors proposed a hypothesis that the employer’s belonging to the public or private sector determines different requirements for certain competencies of a young specialist. The results of the study were presented at the scientific and methodological seminar in Irkutsk State University. The proposed competitiveness model of a university graduate is recommended for use when creating «twin models» of service industry enterprises of the region.

Published: March 2020

Construction is one of the leading economic activities. The organization of the construction industry ensures the focus of all organizational, technical and technological solutions to achieve the end result, i.e. the commissioning of a facility of the appropriate quality within the established deadline. The image of the territory is of great importance for the investor, because it is very risky to invest one’s resources and to know in advance that the territory has a negative reputation. There are a lot of territories in the Irkutsk region and in Russia as a whole that require integrated development, as the city center is built up fairly densely and it proves to be rather difficult to buy accommodation or build a facility there. Therefore, the development of the territory outside the city is of vital importance. Thus, managing the investment attractiveness of the comprehensive development territories of the municipalities is relevant.

Tourism in the 20th century has become available to many population segments and turned into a powerful engine of economic development. One of the important factors of this process is on opportunity of implementing various needs of tourists. Thus, meeting the basic needs in a comfortable and safe living environment during tourist trips is carried out by various accommodation facilities. Opportunities and directions for tourism development and directions for development of accommodation facilities are interdependent. Differentiation of tourist needs is reflected in the directions of developing accommodation facilities, especially individual ones. The aim of this work is to consider the differentiation of the tourist needs as a factor of emergence and development of various accommodation facilities. To achieve this goal, a complex of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including methods of analysis and synthesis, is used. The paper specifies the role of accommodation facilities in development of tourism, investigates changes of tourist needs in terms of mass tourism, proves that increasing the variety of accommodation facilities is a response to the differentiation of tourist needs. Accommodation facilities organize their activities in reply to emergence and development of diverse cultural, spiritual, cognitive and other needs of tourists, which, in particular, ensures their preservation on the hotel services market. Thus, accommodation facilities are developing naturally, which testifies their objective need. The task of the external environment, in particular, in terms of institutional influences is creation of optimal conditions for their preservation and development of accommodation facilities in accordance with differentiation of tourist needs.

Dual-light photodynamic therapy administered daily provides a sustained antibacterial effect on biofilm and prevents Streptococcus mutans adaptation v1
Authors: Nikinmaa Sakari
Published: March 2020

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibacterial blue light (aBL) are emerging treatment methods auxiliary to mechanical debridement for periodontitis. APDT provided with near-infrared (NIR) light in conjunction with an indocyanine green (ICG) photosensitizer has shown efficacy in several dental in-office-treatment protocols. In this study, we tested Streptococcus mutans biofilm sensitivity to either aPDT, aBL or their combination dual-light aPDT (simultaneous aPDT and aBL) exposure. Biofilm was cultured by pipetting diluted Streptococcus mutans suspension with growth medium on the bottom of well plates. Either aPDT (810-nm) or aBL (405nm) or a dual-light aPDT (simultaneous 810nm aPDT and 405nm aBL) was applied with an ICG photosensitizer in cases of aPDT or dual-light while keeping the total light energy constant at 100J/cm2. Single-dose light exposures were given after one-day or four-day biofilm incubations. Also, a model of daily treatment was provided by repeating the same light dose daily on four-day and fourteen-day biofilm incubations. Finally, the antibacterial action of the dual-light aPDT with different energy ratios of 810 nm and 405 nm of light were examined on the single-day and four-day biofilm protocols. At the end of each experiment, the bacterial viability was assessed by the colony-forming unit method. Separate samples were prepared for confocal 3D biofilm imaging. On a one-day biofilm, the dual-light aPDT was significantly more efficient than aBL or aPDT, although all modalities were bactericidal. On a four-day biofilm, a single exposure of aPDT or dual-light aPDT was more efficient than aBL, resulting in a four logarithmic scale reduction in bacterial counts. Surprisingly, when the same amount of aPDT was repeated daily on a four-day or a fourteen-day biofilm, bacterial viability improved significantly. A similar improvement in bacterial viability was observed after repetitive aBL application. This viability improvement was eliminated when dual-light aPDT was applied. By changing the relative amount of light irradiance of 810nm and 405nm in dual-light aPDT, the increase in aBL improved the antibacterial action when the biofilm was older. In conclusion, when aPDT is administered repeatedly to S. mutans biofilm, a single wavelength-based aBL or aPDT leads to a significant biofilm adaptation and increased S. mutans viability. The combined use of aBL light in synchrony with aPDT arrests the adaptation and provides significantly improved and sustained antibacterial efficacy.

In recent years it has become inevitable to consult linguists in order to gain expert opinion in many forensic investigations. Forensic linguists, who are frequently faced with the analyses of forensic text types, can indeed play an important role in the solution of criminal cases, the tracking down of an offender or essentially may even contribute to the decision-making process of judges. Hence, this article deals with cases which a forensic linguist may encounter in their profession; in particular with cases which include different semantic analysis strategies to be applied in forensic text types. Specifically the case of polysemy will be dealt with, which constitutes a particular instance in relevance to lexical ambiguity and thus represents an important problem in communication. Thus, this article discusses four cases with regard to analyses to be performed in forensic text types by forensic linguists.
Soil Phosphorus Fractions as Influenced by Different Cropping Systems: Direct and Indirect Effects of Soil properties on Different P Pools of Nitisols of Wolayta, Ethiopia
Authors: Boke Shiferaw , Beyene Sheleme , Gebrekidan Heluf
Published: March 2020

Data from 12 surface soils (0 – 15 cm depth)of three cropping systems (enset, maize and grazing land) and path analysis was used to evaluate effects of soil properties: pH, texture (Clay, silt and sand) , organic carbon (OC) cation exchange capacity (CEC),citrate-dithionite-bicarbonate (CDB) extractable Fe and Al (Fed and Ald) on total phosphorous (Pt), organic phosphorous (Po), Olsen P (Available P) and Chang and Jackson (1957) inorganic phosphorous (Pi) fractions. Correlation analysis was performed to study the relationships between soil properties and different soil P pools while path analysis model was used to evaluate direct and indirect effect of these soil properties on the P pools. Only soil properties that significantly contribute to the fit of the model were used. High significant values of coefficient of determination (R2) and low values of uncorrelated residual (U) values indicate the path analysis model explains most of the variations in soil Pt, Po, Olsen-P, Saloid-P, Ca-P, Al-P, and Fe-P pools. Soil pH had significantly high and positive direct effect (D = 0.618*) on Pt, (D = 1.044***) on saloid P, and (D = 1.109***) on Fe-P with modest and negative indirect effect (D= -0.478 and -0.405) on saloid P and Fe-P, respectively, through OC. The direct effect of clay on Ca-P, Al-P and Fe-P (readily available P forms) was significant and negative with a relatively higher indirect effect on Fe-P through pH suggesting that clay is dominant soil property that influences readily available P pools in Nitisols of the study area. Fed had significant and negative direct effect (D = -0.430*) on Olsen available P with low negative indirect effect ( D = -0.154) through pH results in significant and negative correlation (r = -0.657*). The significant and negative direct effect of Fed on Olsen P indicates that crystalline iron is the sink for available P. Relative influence of the soil properties on the soil P pools was in the order: pH > clay > Fed > OC.  These results show that most of P pools of Nitisols of Wolayita are best predicted from pH, clay (texture), Fed and OC. On the other hand, our data also show that the inclusion of other soil variables is needed to fully predict Ca-P and stable P pools.

Efficient and effective use of water resource is crucial to increase crop production. This can be achieved through uniform application of water and by reducing application losses. A field experiment was conducted at Wonji/Shoa Sugarcane Plantation (Ethiopia) to study the effect of sprinkler operating pressure and riser height on water distribution uniformity under different wind conditions. Three levels of operating pressure and two levels of sprinkler riser height, under three different wind conditions, were examined during the experiment. From the research evaporation and drift losses ranging from 11.2% to 16.4% were determined. Potential application efficiency (PAE) of 47.7% to 91.3% and actual application efficiency of low-quarter (AELQ) of 32.9% to 38.6% were achieved under various test combinations. Christiansen’s coefficient of uniformity (CU) of 71.7% to 81.7% and distribution uniformity (DU) of 56% to 75.7% were obtained under different test combinations. The results indicated that increase riser height leads to increase in sprinkler water uniformity. Higher sprinkler water uniformity and low application water loss have been encountered during low wind speed condition.

Globally, fourteen types of Moringa species are discovered. Among these species Moringaoleifera and Moringastenopetala potentially use for nutritional purpose, medicinal and feed values. In addition to these, Moringa leaf juice is being use in the form of a foliar spray that causes the plants to be stronger, more resistant to pests and disease and enhances plant growth. Plants treated with Moringa juice spray produce more and larger fruit and consequently have higher yield. The study conducted at “Kewet” district, Shewa Robit site with the objective of evaluating the contribution of Moringa leaf juice on grain yield and biomass production of sorghum. The result indicated that there was no significant difference observed among treatments on grain yield. However, foliar spray of Moringaoleifera with fertilizer and Moringastenopetala with fertilizer was obtained 25% and 34% of grain yield advantage as compare to only chemical fertilization application. Hence, at Shewarobit condition, foliar spray of Moringa leaf juice is not recommended for sorghum grain yield production. However further study is required across different soil type and agro climatology.

Published: March 2020

Bangladesh was not familiar with the uses of plastics as containers a few decades ago. However, in recent years, particularly its large cities like Dhaka have experienced a widespread and growing use of plastic products that posits the threat to pollute the environment as well as creates health hazards and hinders sustainable development. Furthermore, the unscrupulous traders who refill thousands of empty plastic bottles with unclean tap water make the situation worse.  The country needs some adequate steps to restore and sustain the ecological balance and before taking any initiative it is imperative to explore the measures that the developed countries have employed to manage their plastic bottle disposals effectively. The Container-deposit legislation (CDL) is a widely used initiative that entails a series of financial refund on smooth-drink, juice, milk, water, alcohol-beverage, and other reusable packaging at the point of sale. When the bottle or container is returned to an authorized redemption center, or to the unique vendor in a few jurisdictions, the deposit is partly or fully refunded to the redeemer, presumed to be the unique purchaser. The study explores different schemes that the North American countries, European and the Scandinavian Nations have adopted, identifies the problems they faced, analyzes the present condition of Dhaka city and attempts to explain how and why the legislation need to be implemented in Bangladesh.

Published: March 2020

The longtime sustainability of river channel in the natural process depends on the gradient, volume of water, sediment supply and deposition in the river. Naturally, rivers maintain balance of river channel in all stage of the cycle of erosion. However, human activity mainly sand and gravel mining frequently disturb the balance that has much impact on the river morphology. The Imphal River between Motbung to Awang Leikinthabi is one of the worse sand and gravel-querying regions in Manipur. Hence, the main aim of this paper is to assess the impacts of querying on riverine landform and surrounding environment by using Remote Sensing and GIS.

Published: March 2020

Various types of carbohydrate-rich plants with several methods have been experimented to produce sugar and bioethanol. Usually, sugar and bioethanol are yielded by fermentation process synthesized from cellulosic and hemi-cellulosic biomass. In this study, Oil Palm Trunk (OPT) sap was utilized to produce sugar and bioethanol using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Yeast) as fermentation agent as well as Alanine amino acid (C3H7NO2) and Epsom salt (MgSO4) as nutritional supplements in anaerobic condition with 96 hours duration. The first objective of this study was to produce sugar and bioethanol from three different parts of OPT sap such as upper, middle and bottom part and identify the most-efficient part to optimize. Another objective was to demonstrate the effect of nutrients on fermentation process to determine highest yield. After experimenting fermentation process of 50 ml concentrated OPT sap with 30 ml warmed distilled water for 96 hours, obtained result indicated that upper part of OPT yielded the highest ethanol amount  58.34% (w/w) and sugar 21.14% (w/w) with nutrients.

The study was carried out among Ilese-Ijebu residents southwestern Nigeria, to assess their perceived health and environmental problems associated with different sources of household energy use for cooking, then their perception and acceptability of adopting other alternative source of energy (biogas). A focused group discussion and self-structured questionnaire administration methodologies were adopted to elicit information on their current energy sources and adoption for alternative energy source (biogas). The researchers randomly selected twenty five (25) households to include the total sample size of one hundred (100) and organized an interactive session on the subject matter, during which three prepared forms were given out to the participants to filled their demographics characteristics, sources of energy for household cooking with associated health and environmental problems and perception and acceptability of biogas, descriptive statistics and likert scale technique were used to analyze the results obtained. The results of the analysis showed that, the respondents do make use of more than one source of energy for cooking, kerosene stoves (95), firewood (63), charcoal stove(32), while lesser people made use of liquefied gas (12) and electricity (5). Average numbers of respondents 50-60 are aware of associated health and environmental problems with firewood and charcoal, but not ready to use electricity and liquefied gas because of bills and fire hazards when the energy sources is  not properly handled. However, the likert scale results of the positive score of 227 and the negative score of 598 on the acceptability of use of biogas for domestic cooking indicating that, presently, the residents are not ready to adopt the biogas as the alternative energy. Therefore, there is need to organize massive awareness campaign, health education talks among the residents on the effect of air pollution associated with household energy sources and consumption, health and financial benefits of adopting other alternative clean energy source.

Land use, which is use of land by human for different purposes, is influenced by two broad sets of forces human needs (socio-economic) and environmental features and processes (biophysical). The study was carried out at Andit Tid watershed one of SCRP research unit founded in 1982, located on 390 43’E 9048’N.  This research has aimed to assess the trend and main driving force of land use and land cover change (LULCC) within the catchment / watershed during the last two decades and its impact on soil erosion. Structural questioner was used to collect social data from 8% of the total household. Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) and supervised image classification used to identify land use/ land cover change of the study area for 1994 and 2014 years, respectively. TESTMAIN and SPSS version 16 Statistical software’s were used for Soil loss calculation and social data analysis, respectively. The result indicates that, there is expansion of cultivated land by 11.33% (44.55ha) while reduction in natural shrub lands by 7.3 % (35.73ha). The main driving forces of land use land cover change are high number of family member, small land holding size and minimum asset own per household, lower educational level of the household, the household mainly occupied on agriculture and there is lack of animal feed.  This change forced farmers to collect cereal crops based on suitability area, sale livestock, use organic and inorganic fertilizer and use improved variety due to low crop productivity. The LULC change has an impact on decline soil fertility, cause serious soil erosion problem with in farmland/watershed. The result also indicated that soil loss reached 3655 ton per annum from the watershed. Therefore, proper handling and land use system need to be implemented, rainwater harvesting structures and soil and water conservation practice need to be encouraged in order reduce soil loss.
