Discovering the Macro-Elements Presence in Biochar Produced Indigenously
Authors: Akinfiresoye Waleola Ayo , Ogidan John Akintomide
Published: June 2024

Biochar boosts soil fertility and helps plants to withstand drought. Its production locally has been a challenge and that is why an Indigenous Biochar Production Kiln (IBPK) was conceived, designed and fabricated at the Workshop of the Agricultural Technology Department, Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, Nigeria. IBK convert biomass to carbon-rich organic material through thermal energy. The IBPK has two drums, the Internal Retort Drum (IRD) and External drum of diameters and heights of 350 mm x 600 mm and 500 mm x 800 mm respectively. The total weight of the IBPK was 82.50 kg. The IRD of 116 kg/m3 volume was loaded with 55 kg biomass from wood waste, covered, and placed inside the external drum. The space between the outer wall of the IRD and the inner wall of the outer drum was 75 mm enough to contain firewood lighted and covered to produce the heat needed for the wood waste inside the IRD to convert it to Biochar. Smoke from the IBK escaped through the chimney attached to the external drum’s lid. The operating time for the carbonization was 182 minutes and the conversion efficiency of the IBPK was 71 %. The average temperature of the IBPK during the conversion was 269 °C. The test carried out on the produced Biochar showed the presence of macro elements that included Nitrogen (2.95%), Phosphorus (21.79%), Potassium (4.95%) and Carbon (70.31%). The fabrication cost was Fifty-Two Thousand, Two Hundred Naira only (₦52,200:00). The IBPK is recommended for farmers to produce Biochar as needed for improved farm yield, and young graduates who want to go into Biochar production as a way out of unemployment.

Recent years have witnessed a notable increase in the occurrence of blackouts, especially in developing nations, attributed to the continuously growing demand on modern power networks. Given that the demand shows no signs of abating and is projected to increase further in the coming years, additional research on power system stability is imperative. This study, therefore, investigates voltage stability assessment in power systems using the L-index methodology, focusing on the Nigerian 28-bus system and the IEEE system. The L-index offers a practical means of identifying weak buses and evaluating voltage stability margins. Calculating L-index values for load buses under diverse conditions identifies critical points, with higher values indicating vulnerability. The research investigates injecting reactive power at load buses to prevent collapse, comparing outcomes with and without compensation. Analyzing the L-index's performance across varied loading scenarios confirms its precision in predicting breakdown points and identifying critical buses. Load flow analysis of the Nigerian 28-Bus system reveals that only bus 16 exceeds voltage limits, while line analysis shows total power losses. Increasing loadability exposes bus 16 as the weakest, supported by its low voltage magnitude. The research confirms bus 16 as the system's weakest point, guiding corrective measures to enhance stability and prevent collapse. Utilizing Matlab for implementation, this study contributes valuable insights into system vulnerability and provides a framework for improving voltage stability in power systems.

Authors: Gayet-Kerguiduff Gwenn
Published: June 2024

The aim of this action research project is to (re)define and (re)get to know the material trachyandesite. A magmatic rock that has contributed to the identity of the Massif Central region, through the construction of towns since the 15th century, its exploitation has accelerated with industrial growth. Its presence grew and its uses spread throughout France. If this stone confers a specific and visual identity, it is today one of the components of the built heritage of a French region, at one with the landscape because it is at its heart. Understanding the materiality of this stone and its many characteristics is a key factor in the restoration of old buildings. Could knowledge of the qualities of trachyandesite (refractory stone, high pyroscopic resistance) as a local, low-carbon-emission material enhance the value of constructions and/or restorations that could be described as geosourced?

Published: June 2024

There is mounting evidence that the increasing size of the construction industry may lead to significant changes in the global environment. Dewatering, as a crucial component of the construction industry, may have detrimental consequences on the soil and groundwater quality. Dewatering is a technique used to lower the high-water table during construction. The possible effects of dewatering on the soil and ground water quality were visualized and investigated using GIS technology. The analyses were conducted at small temporal and spatial scales. The aim is to give insights in the magnitude and the direction of the dewatering’s impacts. Furthermore, the methodology and the results described in this study will contribute to the UAE national analysis of the impacts of dewatering on the water sector. However, field measurements of water table, groundwater qualities, soil salinity levels, geographic locations and elevations were used to verify the spatial analysis conducted. The temporal and spatial variations of the groundwater/soil quality, in the study area, were determined and visualized. Then the impacts of the dewatering were quantified and evaluated. It is found that dewatering has quantifiable impacts on the soil and ground water quality. The results show drastic but reversible changes in water salinity and light but persistent/ irreversible changes in soil salinity. The magnitude of the increase in the water salinity is in the range of 0.4 g/L - 1.8 g/L. While the magnitude of the change in the soil salinity is in the range of 0.02 – 0.04 g/L.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MECHANISMS FOR THE PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION IN THE SPHERE OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENTS
Authors: SHEVCHENKO Oleksandr , KOLIADA Oleksandr
Published: June 2024

Corruption, as a phenomenon, takes place in the system of public authorities. Its rooting is caused by the low efficiency of public administration. The danger of such a phenomenon as corruption lies in the violation of legal norms and leads to a feeling of distrust in Ukraine's ability to create a democratic, social and legal order. In this regard, the authors studied the mechanisms of public administration aimed at combating corruption in the economic sphere, namely in the area of public procurement. The article examines the problems of abuse of state power for personal gain, which make it impossible to create a democratic, social and legal order in Ukraine. The thesis is substantiated that due to the large amounts of funds associated with state procurement of goods, works and services, this sphere creates favorable conditions for corruption violations and abuses. It is noted that according to the analysis of the functioning of the public procurement system in 2015, the Antimonopoly Committee revealed a large number of violations of legislation in this area, which required systemic decisions in public administration. It is shown that in order to overcome corruption in the field of public procurement, legislation was updated in Ukraine aimed at improving control mechanisms, ensuring the transparency of bidding, as well as implementing effective anti-corruption measures. It was emphasized that the Prozorro system played a key role in the fight against corruption and ensuring transparency in public procurement. The methods that contributed to the reduction of corruption in Ukraine are: introduction of an electronic auction; reduction of human intervention in the interpretation of trading rules; the ability to observe the procurement process in real time. It was concluded that today the reform of the public procurement system consists in ensuring the fulfillment of Ukraine's international obligations in this area by adapting the legislation to European and international standards, and the introduction of the electronic auction system within the framework of Prozorro has significantly improved the efficiency and honesty in conducting trades, contributing to the reduction corruption.

Authors: LAZIĆ Tanja
Published: June 2024

Rad je posvećen Mustafi Grabčanoviću kao prvom hroničaru Bijeljine. Akcenat rada je na Grabčanovićevoj pisanoj ostavštini na temu kulturne baštine, sporadično objavljivanoj u lokalnim glasilima, listu za književnost i kulturu „Brazde“, a zatim u preko stotinu i sedamdeset tekstova feljtona: „Iz prošlosti našeg kraja“ u Semberskim novinama. U pomenutim tekstovima Grabčanović je javnosti decenijama predstavljao različite teme iz kulturne historije i brojne historijske događaje i ličnosti iz našeg kraja. Iako istraživač amater, on je svom zadatku pristupao krajnje ozbiljno, tragajući za vjerodostojnim historijskim izvorima u brojnim arhivskim, bibliotečkim i muzejskim ustanovama u nekadašnjoj SFRJ i inostranstvu. Građu je istovremeno dopunjavao svjedočenjima i sjećanjima starijih sugrađana čiji su datumi rođenja sezali i do vremena smjene osmanske i austrougarske vlasti u našem kraju. Iako se u tekstovima Mustafe Grabčanovića objavljenim u lokalnoj štampi mogu pronaći sporadični nedostaci, njegov rad je i dalje nezaobilazno štivo za svakog istraživača prošlosti Bijeljine i okoline. Istovremeno, Grabčanovićevo djelo sažima sve ono što se može označiti kulturnim naslijeđem našeg kraja.
PORODICA ĆERIMAGIĆ IZ ORAŠJA U KONTEKSTU PREDAJE O POSLANIKOVOJ DLACI

Published: June 2024

U ovom radu bit će opisan jedan dio porodičnog stabla porodice Ćerimagić, opisane predaje koje se vežu za živote pojedinaca u porodici, odnos sa brčanskim porodicama Kučukalić i Bukvica i predaja vezana za ključ sehare u kojoj se nalazi dlaka iz brade, za koju se tradicionalno u narodu vjeruje da je pripadala Muhamedu a.s. Prema tradiciji ključ se naslijeđuje muškom linijom i to još od Mehmeda-bega Ćerimagića, koji je bio među prvim generacijama muslimana protjeranih iz Beograda, a koji su zajedno sa muslimanima prognanim iz Užica i Šapca osnovali Orašje. Mehmed - beg se navodi kao potomak Abdul – Kerim - age, odnosno njegovog sina Mir Ahmeta koji je u Beogradu bio pisar kod Topal Osman- paše, i prvi „načelnik“ Orašja po njegovom oformljenju. Dlaku kupuje od neznanog Arapina prilikom odlaska na hadž u Mekku i donosi je u Orašje. Nakon smrti poslednjeg muškog člana porodice Ćerimagić, odnosno Ahmeda-Bakira, ključ sehare naslijeđuje najstarije muško dijete njegove sestre Aiše - Paše. Ćerimagići su bili ugledna porodica, ostvarivali određenu vrstu povezanosti sa različitim strukturama u tadašnjem Osmanskom carstvu. Kasnije su i održavali trgovinske, rodbinske i veze različitog karaktera. Porodica je gajila i dobre odnose sa nekoliko uglednih porodica iz Brčkog, između ostalog, porodica Kučukalić i Bukvica. Avnija hanuma Ćerimagić se udaje za uglednog doktora Abdulaha Bukvicu, a njena sestra Nafija hanuma za poznatog Abdagu Kučukalića sina čuvenog dobrotvora, vakifa i mecene Alijage Kučukalića. Obje se ističu kao kulturne aktivistice i učestvuju u radu Gajreta i brčanskog društva Islahijet.

Authors: Muinga Ruth Muendi , Gathiaka John , Osoro Kennedy
Published: June 2024

This study analysed the relationship between fiscal deficit and economic growth in the East African Community (EAC) at both regional and country level. The Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation technique was employed and panel data for the period between 2000 and 2021 to meet objectives of the study. PMG estimator gave both long run and short run regional outcomes and country-specific short run results. The findings indicate that there is a positive relationship between fiscal deficit and economic growth, with significance level of 1% observed in the long term. The country specific short run results reveal a negative link between fiscal deficit and economic growth in Burundi, Kenya and Rwanda while for Tanzania and Uganda the link is positive and significant. Real interest rate and inflation rate deteriorate economic growth in the EAC. Broad money supply growth and foreign direct investment boost economic activity in the EAC region. Fiscal restraint and discipline are required to promote economic growth in the region. There is need for governments to ensure price and interest rate stability through inflation targeting and limiting money supply.

This article examines the persistent phenomenon of “home bias” and its determinants in international portfolio management, with a particular focus on the inherent challenges posed by the puzzle of preference for domestic assets and its impact on financial markets, highlighting the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a multiple linear regression model, estimated through Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, applied to data covering 43 countries over a 15-year period, this study reveals that home bias remains more pronounced in emerging economies, with significant variations in terms of factors such as economic development, governance, financial openness, information asymmetry, technology, and other explanatory variables. The findings underscore the crucial importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms of home bias, especially during financial crises, for investors, regulators, and policymakers. Additionally, the article suggests that information asymmetry continues to play a vital role in this preference, but other economic and behavioral factors also influence foreign investment decisions.

Background: The use of Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Radiography (DR) makes Radiographers pay less attention to the selection of exposure factors, resulting in overexposed and underexposed. One technique for optimizing and maintaining image quality in CR and DR is modification of the exposure factor of the 10kV rule. This study aims to compare image quality (histogram, noise, signal to noise ratio (SNR), and exposure index (EI)) in CR and DR by applying the modified exposure factor rule of 10 kV to chest radiographs.
Methods: Quantitative research with an experimental approach using the Perlove PLX 101 C mobile X-ray aircraft, thorax phantom, CR Prima T2 and AeroDR 3 1417HL DR detector. Data was generated by exposing the phantom using an anteroposterior (AP) chest radiography examination technique. Exposure was carried out 3 times for CR and DR with 60kVp 10mAs, 50 kVp 20 mAs and 70kVp 5mAs. Noise measurement through region of interest (ROI) in the background area. The SNR value with ROI is a comparison between the mean value of the pulmonary and costal anatomy with background noise. CR and DR image histograms were obtained using the Image-J application. Exposure index and sensitivity values by looking at the CR monitor. Then the data is processed and analyzed statistically.
Results: Modification of the 10 kV regulatory exposure factor produces the highest noise image at 70kVp 5mAs, namely 7.82 in CR and 10.6 and there are differences between other exposure factors with a p-value <0.001. The pulmonary and costal SNR values in DR were higher than the SNR in CR for all exposure factors and there was a difference with a p-value <0.001. The histograms on CR and DR are flat and homogeneous. The highest CR exposure index value was at 60kVp 10mAs, namely 2760 and the lowest was at 70kVp 5mAs, namely 1997 with sensitivity classified as overexposure for all exposure factors because it was below 75/mR.
Conclusions: Application of the modified exposure factor rule of 10kV to AP chest radiographs causes differences in the quality of DR and CR images. The lowest noise and highest SNR are found in DR images with an exposure factor of 50kVp 20mAs, but the lowest exposure index is at 70kVp 5mAs

Background: The objective of radiotherapy is to give a maximum dose which very closely conforms to the target volume homogeneously, while minimizing the dose to the surrounding normal tissue and Organs at Risk (OAR). For that reason, Conformity Index (CI) and Homogeneity Index (HI) are two important tools in evaluating treatment planning in radiotherapy, because it can help evaluate the conformity level as well dose distribution uniformity in the target volume. One of the clinical competences which must be owned by a Radiotherapist is that he/she must be able to evaluate the irradiation treatment planningresults. In relation to which, this research aims to describe radiotherapy irradiation procedure of Lungs Cancer as well as to identify and analyze CI and HI values of lungs cancer planning results in Radiotherapy Installation of Siloam MRCCC Hospital Semanggi.
Methods: As for the research design used is observational research by applying a qualitative descriptive method undertaken at Radiotherapy Installation of Siloam MRCCC Hospital Semanggi by using secondary data as many as 20 lungs cancer patients starting from January up to June 2023.
Results: This research suggests that out of 20 patient samples of lungs cancer planning results, found that there are 4 samples of CI value classified into the criteria of a little bit in deviation according to RTOG. This matter is caused by an adjacent tumor location with OAR, in the effort to maintain that OAR is appropriate with the desired dose contraint, the target area of tumor may be underdosed, consequently the result of CI is less conformal. For HI values, all 20 samples have produced high dose distribution homogeneity.
Conclusions: Out of 20 patient samples of lungs cancer planning results, found that the range mark of CI is 0.965–1.223 and the range of HI value is 0.041–0.133. There are 4 samples of CI value classified into the criteria of a little bit in deviation according to RTOG. For HI values, all 20 samples have produced high dose distribution homogeneity.

Background : The distribution value of the Tc-99m radiopharmaceutical in 02 hyperthyroid patients at a Jakarta Hospital was calculated to determine the absorption dose value of the radiopharmaceutical in the thyroid organ. Thyroid scan is a type of examination carried out on patients using a SPECT aircraft equipped with a dual gamma camera detector. The radiopharmaceutical Tc-99m perteknetate is injected into the patient's body via an intravenous line at 3-5 mCi with an imaging time of 15 minutes. Biodistribution determination analysis can be calculated using the ROI technique.
Method : This study is quantitative by collecting data from 10 patients with clinical hyperthyroidism which aims to determine and determine the biodistribution of radiopharmaceutical activity injected into the patient's body.
Result : The results showed that the average biodistribution value of Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals in the right lobe of the thyroid was greater at 24.59 MBq than the left lobe of the thyroid at 22.96 MBq and the total thyroid biodistribution value was 30.77 MBq. The largest biodistribution was owned by patient number 6 (SR) with a thyroid size of 137.83 MBq, right lobe 68.88 MBq, and left lobe 65.95 MBq while the lowest biodistribution value was in patient number 9 (TBD) with a thyroid size of 8.37 MBq, right lobe 5.23 MBq, left lobe 2.46 MBq.
Conclusion : The average biodistribution of the right lobe is greater than the left lobe in hyperthyroid patients. Radiopharmaceuticals that flow with blood flow cause asymmetrical enlargement of the right lobe so that the distribution of Tc-99m is more in the right lobe.

Indonesia has implemented a policy of using biodiesel with a 30% biodiesel content, known as B30. The use of biodiesel also tends to have deposits that can clog fuel channels and filters. This can cause serious problems in the fuel system, especially blockages in the fuel filter. This research aims to find out which filter on the strainer is the most optimal in increasing the service life of the fuel filter on the 6374 CC diesel engine. In this study, the research approach used was a quantitative experimental type. The independent variable used in this research is the size of the filter on the strainer, namely 10 µm, 18 µm, and 20 µm, and the dependent variable is the service life of the fuel filter. With the data collection method using a filter density test tool. The data obtained was then processed into graphic data and analyzed using the one way anova method. The research results show that all strainer filters are able to increase filter life from 1,702 km to 5,106 km. The strainer filter with a size of 18 µm at km 5,106 is the most optimal filter. This happens because this filter does not require routine cleaning at every round-trip vehicle operation like a 10 µm size strainer filter and the discharge is slightly higher than a 20 µm size strainer filter.
