Published: December 2023

Groundwater is an important source of drinking water and the protection of groundwater is a major environmental issue as the importance of water quality to human health. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the groundwater quality around dumpsites in Bauchi metropolis, Bauchi State, Nigeria using standard analytical techniques and multivariate statistical analysis methods such as correlation analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA).  The mean concentration of the parameters in ground water samples ranged from pH 7.55 to 9.06, temperature 32.55 to 34.25 oC, conductivity 54.80 to 65.38 μS/cm, salinity 0.20 to 0.29 mg/L, TSS 0.36 to 1.93 mg/L, TDS 57.53 to 59.95 mg/L, HCO3 26.80 to 31.00 mg/L, PO43- 1.05 to 2.06 mg/L, SO42- 2.25 to 3.26 mg/L, NO3- 1.40 to 4.50 mg/L, NO2- 0.01 to 0.03 mg/L, and Cl- 2.14 to 8.31 mg/L. The result shows that the investigated parameters were below the WHO, permissible limit, except PO43-. The concentration of the parameters were in following trend; TDS > conductivity > temperature > HCO3> pH > NO3> SO4>Cl> PO4> TSS > salinity > NO2. Multivariate analysis revealed that the main sources of water quality parameters might be related to dumpsites around the study area. According to the HCA, and PCA, the parameters were divided into three groups; the first group correlated with Salinity, TSS, SO4, NO3 and NO2; the second group correlated with TDS and HCO3, and the third with pH, temperature, and conductivity. The hydrochemistry of groundwater from the area reveals that the water could be applied to irrigation.

Jebba Upper Basin upstream at Kainji, was constructed on River Niger in Nigeria during the last five decades mainly for hydropower generation, but receives pollutants through anthropogenic activities. This study assesses physical and chemical characteristics of Jebba upper basin on River Niger, North Central Nigeria using appropriate standard methods. The results show that the mean values of the physical and chemical parameters of water were: temperature (27.89±1.84 °C), pH (7.17±0.22), dissolved oxygen (6.35±0.91 mg/L), total hardness (42.33±32.89 mg/L), biological oxygen demand (2.85±1.07 mg/L), and conductivity (51.13±29.09 µs/cm). The result shows that temperature has significant positive (either at r < 0.05 and r < 0.01) association with Total Hardness (TH) (0.47), BOD (0.30) and NO3- (0.43) though inversely correlated with transparency (-0.29, r >0.05). Total Hardness also have a positive correlation (0.52, r >0.05) with nitrate. Spatial-temporal variations influenced by environmental factors were observed to impacted water quality parameters in the study area.
Effect of Particle Size on Leachate Formation Characteristics from Gold Mine Waste Rocks: At Source Acid Mine Drainage Management in Tanzania
Authors: Marwa A.
Published: December 2023

Waste rocks from gold mining operations represents a significant environmental burden and impairs sustainable environmental management in developing countries. This study focused on understanding the leachate properties of different particle sizes (>10mm, 20mm, 30mm and 50mm) from the waste rock dump (WRD) - GPAF in the 30 liters containers to represent waste rocks by using quick static testing to determine a more rational design basis for material storage and management. This study found that small particle sizes of waste rocks with <10 mm showed a strong leaching with a low pH of 3.5, while large particle sizes of 50 mm showed a high pH of 6.5. Metal leaching of small particle sizes had a higher concentration of Manganese, Zinc and Iron than large particle size. Similarly, sulphate concentration from leachate of small particle size of waste rocks had higher levels than large particle size. In addition, this study also demonstrated that the majority of dissolved metals (Mn, Zn and Fe) leached higher in the low pH (3.5) leachate. This study recommended that great emphasis be taken on the separation of small particles from large particle sizes of mine waste rocks during and after mining operations to reduce the risk of metal leaching and the possibility of acid mine drainage (AMD) formation and pollute surface and groundwater.

Ethanol generally are renewable liquids usually produced from sources which can be easily replenished, therefore, the production of ethanol by fermentation using substrate such as carbohydrate crops may provide an economically competitive source of energy by its incorporation into gasoline. Hence, the objective of this paper is the bioproduction of ethanol by saccharification-fermentation process using sweet potato (Ipomoea Batatas) and Irish potato (Solanum Tuberosum) with their peels as substrate with standard techniques for evaluation. The infrared (IR) spectroscopic data of potato extracts revealed that the absorption band of hydroxyl (OH) group of an alcohol ranges from 3747.03 - 3444.40 cm-1 in all samples analyzed. The 1H-NMR in CDCl3 (60 MHz), the proton at δH 4.09-4.69 appearing as singlet, integrating for one proton which indicates an hydroxyl group, another proton signal at δH 3.46-3.69, appearing as quartet with coupling constant of 7.2 Hz and each integrating for 2 protons, assigned to the methylene group next to the methyl group. The peak observed at δH 0.95-1.96 ppm, integrating for three protons with coupling constant of 6.6 Hz, which was assigned to the methyl group on the ethanol structure. The 13C-NMR spectrum of all the samples, showed an intense peak at 57.1-57.9 ppm which accounts for methylene peak on ethanol and an upfield carbon signal at 17.4-18.0, which was assigned to the methyl carbon in ethanol structure. The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) results showed the presence of ethanol in the samples analyzed. Consequently, the refractive index result showed that all the extracts have a significant level of alcohol content.

BackgroundPregnant women are susceptible to kidney function impairment due to physiological and metabolic changes induced by pregnancy. A series of studies suggested an overall progressive increase in glomerular filtration rate approximating 40-50% of the non-pregnant state.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of kidney impairment and related risk factors in pregnant women attending the University Center for Public Health and Rango health centers in Rwanda.MethodsAn analytical cross-sectional study that enrolled 139 consecutive pregnant women was conducted. Serum creatinine and qualitative urine protein and glucose determinations were carried out using standard laboratory methods to assess the integrity of kidney function. ResultsThe prevalence of kidney impairment in pregnant women was 20.9% comprising mainly women in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy (60.4%). Among the women with kidney impairment, 2.9% had high blood pressure. Of the overall study participants, 8.6% had glycosuria whilst 5% had proteinuria. The majority had gravida of one. There was a significant association between hypertension, glucosuria, age and gravida with kidney impairment (P = 0.001).ConclusionsFindings show that pregnancy with or without putative risk factors is associated with kidney impairment in apparently healthy women, as shown by the high prevalence of 20.9%. We therefore recommend routine screening of kidney dysfunction during pregnancy.Rwanda J Med Health Sci 2023;6(3):379-388

Émile Cartailhac (1845–1921): A Prehistory in Constant Reconstruction

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, French prehistory underwent a conceptual and methodological overhaul in line with the movement affecting the human sciences at the time. This change was brought about by a new generation of prehistorians, but some of the earliest, including Émile Cartailhac, were also at the forefront of the movement. The Toulouse prehistorian was not a systemic thinker, but conducted research into, and dissemination and promotion of prehistory at both the national and international level. He played an active role in the main debates renovating prehistory and proposed a series of compromises that reconfigured prehistoric practice by the renovation of methods and the opening up of new areas of investigation.

Defining Exotic Prehistory through Its Collections: The Case of the Musée d’Ethnographie du Trocadéro in the Early 1930’s

In November 1933 the room of Exotic Prehistory at the Musée d’ethnographie du Trocadéro (MET) was first opened. Initially focusing on Africa, the project evolved when Paul Rivet incorporated Asian territories into it. The organizing of the room was partly the result of the institutionalization and professionalization of the French Science of Man during the interwar period, which was common to both ethnographic and ¨ anthropological collections. However, the acquisition and management of prehistoric collections, particularly those from Indochina, had their own specificities. The aim of this article is to examine, from a museum perspective, the concept of exotic prehistory, the types of objects that are promoted through it and the ways in which it was created and used at the MET.

Air transport development trends were disrupted as a result of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the emergence of a global pandemic. During this difficult period, the largest drop in the number of air passengers in history occurred. For example, in 2020, compared to 2019, there was a global decrease in the number of passengers in air transport by 60% and in Poland by 70%. Temporary restrictions were introduced, related to, inter alia, the cancellation of flights from countries with a high incidence rate, a mandatory SARS-CoV-2 virus test or a quarantine order upon arrival. The main aim of the study was to present the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on passenger traffic at Polish airports. Attempts were made to obtain answers to the following questions: (1) what were the changes in the number of passengers served in Poland before and during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) what actions/restrictions were taken in the field of air transport in the face of an increased number of COVID-19 cases; and (3) how has the SARS-CoV-2 virus affected airports and air carriers in Poland. The research was based on the statistical data of: the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Eurostat, Eurocontrol, and the Polish Central Statistical Office. The study presents the situation as of the end of 2021.

Health care system in Poland and tourism

The aim of the study was to analyze the Polish health care system from the perspective of its use by outbound and inbound tourists. Health care facilities are part of the supporting facilities in tourism. This type of infrastructure primarily serves local residents, but also determines the proper organization of tourism at the destination. With regard to tourism, this infrastructure is used by people before their travels, mainly for preventive purposes, tourists staying in a particular destination, as well as those returning from trips (e.g., requiring further treatment). In connection with health prophylaxis preceding the trip, attention was paid to the activities of the Polish Society of Maritime, Tropical and Travel Medicine together with the National Network of Travel Medicine Centres. In addition to the data obtained from this association, information from the Central Statistical Office and the System and Implementation Analyzes Database, as well as data obtained from the National Health Fund, were used in the research procedure. However, despite the presence of increasingly available data, there is still much work to be done in developing knowledge about travel risks and preventive measures related to travel to another country.
Privacy of documents – documents of privacy. Remarks on personal sources in historical and archival studies
Authors: Chorążyczewski Waldemar , Roszak Stanisław
Published: December 2023

The authors set themselves the goal of indicating the places in the archival holdings where texts of a private nature are present. They used the ego-documentary theory developed in European science since the midtwentieth century. It makes us pay attention to narrative sources (diaries, journals, memoires, correspondence) in the first place. It also allows you to extract privacy from official sources in which a person is forced to tell the story of his life, express his individuality and identity. Court testimony is of particular importance in this context. It is an important component of the archival holdings, and at the same time the source basis for many fundamental scientific works on the history of the mentality of all social groups, including those marginalized. They notice untapped sources such as CVs (biographies) attached to official files or petitions submitted by private individuals to the authorities. They draw attention to the fact that all archival entities, such as fonds, collections or archive holdings, may be self-documentary in nature. This applies to private archives, but to some extent also official ones. It is a difficult problem to capture the private character of archives in the archival description. The authors indicate the usefulness of creating source and archival studies characteristics of classes of archival sources in terms of the possibility of ego-documentary research.

Published: December 2023

The ever-increasing consumption of fossil fuels to meet up with the global economic and industrial energy needs has led to climatic change due to uncontrollable emission of a major greenhouse gas (CO2). As a way of mitigating the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, search for effective and efficient solid adsorbent has been at the front burner of current scientific research. A class of solid adsorbent known as metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated immense potentials for CO2 adsorption due to its porous, high thermal and chemical stability, high versatility and ease of production. Upon functionalization, the adsorption efficiency of this class of materials was found to improve tremendously. In this review, the CO2 capture and sequestration potentials of three MOFs (UiO-66, HKUST-1, and MOF-5) and their composites were investigated in the search for economical, stable, and highly selective novel adsorbents for CO2 adsorption.

A diferencia de otras minorías trabajadas en este volumen, la arriana constituyó una minoría dominante en la Península hasta la conversión de Recaredo. Al considerarla un derivado de la procedencia étnica, la historiografía tradicional no exploraba demasiado en el componente religioso de la dominación. En este artículo estudiamos lo más profundamente que las fuentes nos permiten la dimensión religiosa que propone este modo de ordenar la sociedad. Haremos este trabajo en dos niveles solidarios: el arrianismo como parámetro de jerarquía y el arrianismo como teología.

Published: December 2023

In this special issue, we explore the role of depictions and images in religious traditions from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, covering a broad spectrum of religious traditions from Asia to Europe. Our focus is on examining the range of religious attitudes towards images, which can range from indifference (aniconism) to admiration (iconism) to outright rejection and destruction (anti-iconism). Our contributors discuss the hypothesis that religious attitudes towards images often fluctuate between these three categories, and that it is not possible to strictly classify a particular religious tradition as either hostile or friendly towards images. This introduction provides an overview of the central and complex concepts that form the basis of the individual contributions, including representation, icons, media and materiality, and an/iconism.

However, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought a massive impact on the sector. As one of the providers of MICE service in the Ubud area, The Westin Resort and Spa Ubud – Bali experienced difficulties in marketing their event service product during the pandemic, which contributed to the decrease in revenue in the hotel. This research aims to develop a marketing strategy for event service products to respond to the market conditions. This research took the qualitative approach with the data collection through observation, interviews, and documentaries. The strategy development was first started with the identification of the marketing mix components of The Westin Resort and Spa Ubud – Bali which are, product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence. The collected data is then used in the SWOT analysis to develop the strategy for event service marketing in a pandemic situation. Based on the analysis on the internal and external factors that influence the strategy of event marketing at The Westin Resort and Spa Ubud – Bali, it was concluded that the strategies that needed to be taken were developing promotion strategies for MICE events, wellness events, meetings -stay and tour package, and entertainment show, arranging service products in the form of programs that can reduce the concerns and stress that may occur due to new normal adjustment, focusing on the small-medium exclusive events, as well as offering a more competitive price. The implications of this research are expected to contribute to the development of tourism marketing field of study, particularly the MICE, and be able to be one of the references for hoteliers developing along with the event organizer when event marketing strategy, especially in crisis conditions such as the pandemic.

Interaction of ethidium bromide (EtBr), acridine orange (AO) and non-intercalator methylene blue (MB) with DNA as well as interaction of EtBr and MB with single-stranded synthetic polynucleotides poly(rA) and poly(rU) have been studied. It was revealed that in absorption spectra of EtBr and MB with DNA or single-stranded polynucleotides a real- or pseudo-isosbestic point appears. Particularly, in absorption spectra of the complexes of classical intercalator EtBr with DNA the real isosbestic point is formed, but in the case of non-classical intercalator MB a pseudo-isosbestic point is formed, while in the absorption spectra of their complexes with single-stranded polynucleotides a pseudo-isosbestic point is formed. It was found out that for another classical intercalator AO there is no a real or pseudo-isosbestic point.

Published: December 2023

In the modern era, ano rectal diseases are increasing day by day due to the changes in life style especially the food habits. Fistula in ano is one among them. It is a chronic illness which is, though not fatal but quite discomforting and troublesome to the patient and often puts a deep impact on the quality of life of a patient. Fistula in ano is a track lined by granulation tissue which connects peri anal skin superficially to anal canal, ano rectum or rectum deeply. The main clinical symptoms consist of pain, swelling and pus discharge. Due to higher recurrence rate and postoperative complication, fistula-in-ano is a headache in current surgical practice. Bhagandara which is described in Ayurveda classics can be correlated with Fistula in ano. Ksharasuthra therapy is a parasurgical procedure in Ayurveda which is found more effective in the management of fistula in ano. Even after Ksharasuthra application, pus discharge from fistulous tract delays the healing and makes the post operative period more difficult. So there is a need a of some adjuvant drug which can manage these problems in a better way and promote healing process by reducing the microbial load.Uthamadi Choorna is mentioned in Bhagandara prathishedha adhyayam in Ashtamga hrdaya and it contains Guggulu, Thriphala, Khadira and Asana which are having various chemical constituents that showed antimicrobial activity in pharmacological studies. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of Uthamadi choorna during Ksharasuthra therapy in Bhagandara.

Pollinators depend on the melliferous flora for food, in return, flowers are pollinated, which contributes for the maintenance of ecosystems and conservation of biodiversity, increasing food production and ensuring food security. This research aims to provide an inventory of melliferous flora and its annual availability in Cervantes y Lozada, Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico. During 26 months, the plants interacting with bees were collected on defined rural roads; we also documented the resource provided by the flowers (pollen, honey, etc.), their origin (native or exotic), life form and flowering periods. From 122 collections, 76 melliferous species were inventoried, grouped in 74 genera and 35 botanical families, being Asteraceae (25 %) the family with more species, followed by Malvaceae (9.21 %) and Lamiaceae (7.89 %); 67.11 % are polliniferous, 7.86 % nectariferous, and 25 % provide both; 82.89 % are native and 17.11 % exotic; 15.79 % are trees, 28.95 % shrubs and 55.26 % herbs. Seven species provided resources for bees all year round, two for 10 months and the rest for shorter periods. The flora species that were inventoried have different uses, so it is important to protect and promote the sustainable management of the melliferous flora, which is essential for the conservation of the pollination service, which in turn is essential for agriculture and ecosystems, in addition to protecting species of social, ecological, and economic importance.

Currently reading literacy in Indonesia is very low, due to a lack of interest in reading. This has happened since childhood, we are not used to reading. Reading literacy is the ability to understand in the form of written language needed by society. Mastery of literacy is important for increasing the achievements of the millennial generation in achieving success. Literacy cultivation must be carried out early on and realized because it is the main capital in creating an intelligent nation.
