The nature of China’s role in development of Africa: the case of Zimbabwe
Authors: Hogwe Fortune , Banda Handson
Published: May 2017

China’s involvement in Africa has become one of the contentious topics in the development literature. The background of the study is that Sino-African relations can be grouped into two phases thus: past relations and contemporary relations. The two phases are dissimilar, as past relations are categorized by solidarity against imperialism, while contemporary relations are characterized by economic relations. The study uses a historical approach to analyze China’s resurgence into Africa and Zimbabwe, a case study is used to examine the contemporary Sino-African relations. Secondary data were utilized to come to sound conclusion of the study. The study mainly found out that China’s resurgence into Africa presents both negative and positive impacts for Africa and that the negatives need to be regulated in order for African countries to benefit from the relations.
Developing countries organizations’ readiness for Big Data analytics
Authors: Mathias Kalema Billy , Mokgadi Motau
Published: May 2017

Regardless of the nature, size, or business sector, organizations are now collecting burgeoning various volumes of data in different formats. As much as voluminous data are necessary for organizations to draw good insights needed for making informed decisions, traditional architectures and existing infrastructures are limited in delivering fast analytical processing needed for these Big Data. For success organizations need to apply technologies and methods that could empower them to cost effectively analyze these Big Data. However, many organizations in developing countries are constrained with limited access to technology, finances, infrastructure and skilled manpower. Yet, for productive use of these technologies and methods needed for Big Data analytics, both the organizations and their workforce need to be prepared. The major objective for this study was to investigate developing countries organizations’ readiness for Big Data analytics. Data for the study were collected from a public sector in South Africa and analyzed quantitatively. Results indicated that scalability, ICT infrastructure, top management support, organization size, financial resources, culture, employees’ e-skills, organization’s customers’ and vendors are significant factors for organizations’ readiness for Big Data analytics. Likewise strategies, security and competitive pressure were found not to be significant. This study contributes to the scanty literature of Big Data analytics by providing empirical evidence of the factors that need attention when organizations are preparing for Big Data analytics.

Published: May 2017

O processo produtivo da mandioca gera resíduos com altas cargas orgânicas e componentes tóxicos. As indústrias desse setor tratam esses resíduos, na maioria das vezes, em lagoas de estabilização anaeróbias onde se formam o biogás, um gás poluente que, se liberado para atmosfera de forma indiscriminada, pode impactar no efeito estufa. Entretanto, o biogás pode ser recuperado dessas lagoas por meio da tecnologia de biodigestores e, por sua vez, aproveitado para alimentar as caldeiras em substituição a lenhas nessas indústrias, gerando energia e diminuindo os impactos ao meio ambiente. O objetivo deste artigo foi, então, avaliar o desempenho ambiental da tecnologia de aproveitamento energético de biogás em indústrias processadoras de mandioca paranaenses, por meio de indicadores selecionados a partir do protocolo da Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Foram selecionados indicadores relacionados aos aspectos consumo de materiais, emissões atmosféricas, consumo de água e de energia e emissão de efluentes. Assim, o método de pesquisa foi qualitativo, com utilização de valores quantitativos para os indicadores de desempenho em estudo de casos em três fecularias paranaenses. As principais conclusões deste trabalho sugerem que o sistema de aproveitamento de biogás apresenta vantagens ambientais positivas, tais como diminuição de uso de lenha pelas empresas e redução das emissões atmosféricas de gases de efeito estufa. Uma das empresas economizou 95% de lenha e em todos os casos houve melhoria de desempenho operacional das empresas avaliadas. A pesquisa mostrou que o aproveitamento de biogás em operações de agronegócios é uma iniciativa inovadora e apresentou resultados práticos expressivos.

Published: May 2017

The northwestern coast of Sinai is home to many economic activities and development programs, thus evaluation of the potentiality and vulnerability of water resources is important. The present work has been conducted on the groundwater resources of this area for describing the major features of groundwater quality and the principal factors that control salinity evolution. The major ionic content of 39 groundwater samples collected from the Quaternary aquifer shows high coefficients of variation reflecting asymmetry of aquifer recharge. The groundwater samples have been classified into four clusters (using hierarchical cluster analysis), these match the variety of total dissolvable solids, water types and ionic orders. The principal component analysis combined the ionic parameters of the studied groundwater samples into two principal components. The first represents about 56% of the whole sample variance reflecting a salinization due to evaporation, leaching, dissolution of marine salts and/or seawater intrusion. The second represents about 15.8% reflecting dilution with rain water and the El-Salam Canal. Most groundwater samples were not suitable for human consumption and about 41% are suitable for irrigation. However, all groundwater samples are suitable for cattle, about 69% and 15% are suitable for horses and poultry, respectively.

Authors: Bahrami Mehdi , Amiri Mohammad Javad , Mahmoudi Mohammad Reza , Koochaki Sara
Published: May 2017

Permanent monitoring of environmental issues demands efficient, accurate, and user-friendly pollutant prediction methods, particularly from operating variables. In this research, the efficiency of multiple polynomial regression in predicting the adsorption capacity of caffeine (q) from an experimental batch mode by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated. The MWCNTs were specified by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and point of zero charge. The results confirmed that the MWCNTs have a high capacity to uptake caffeine from the wastewater. Five parameters including pH, reaction time (t), adsorbent mass (M), temperature (T) and initial pollutant concentration (C) were selected as input model data and q as the output. The results indicated that multiple polynomial regression which employed C, M and t was the best model (normalized root mean square error = 0.0916 and R2 = 0.996). The sensitivity analysis indicated that the predicted q is more sensitive to the C, followed by M, and t. The results indicated that the pH and temperature have no significant effect on the adsorption capacity of caffeine in batch mode experiments. The results displayed that estimations are slightly overestimated. This study demonstrated that the multiple polynomial regression could be an accurate and faster alternative to available difficult and time-consuming models for q prediction.

Published: May 2017

Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), a hyperactivity disorder prevalent among
children may continue as an adulthood attention deficit. To date, treating an individual with an adult
ADHD may be an arduous task as it involves numerous challenges, which include a need for high index
of suspicion to diagnose this medical condition. Many psychiatric disorders masquerade as
ADHD and delay the necessary assessment and proper treatment for this debilitating medical disorder.
Adult ADHD is often misdiagnosed (or under diagnosed) due to the fact that this medical condition is
being masked by the patients’ high level of intellectual achievement. As the ADHD in adult persists, it
may end-up with impairment in the personal-social-occupational function in which the management
becomes a great challenge. The treatment of ADHD can be optimized by using various drugs targets
agents like norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), with or without psycho stimulants
like methylphenidate, which is marketed as Ritalin. Bupropion, an NDRI has a novel effect on ADHD
as the molecule exerts its effects by modulating the reward-pleasure mesolimbic dopaminergic system
and at the same time regulates the elevating mood dimension of the noradrenergic neurotransmission.
The role of Bupropion in the neural and psychopharmacological perspective treatment of ADHD was
deliberated. The present review highlights the novel effects of Bupropion in ADHD treatment, together
with the help of other successful bio-psycho-social measures. This may be of immense benefit
to the psychiatrists for treating their patients.

The hemoncose is an important parasitic disease to livestock, being the species sheep and goats the most affected. This disorder is caused by the nematode Haemonchus sp. abomasal parasite, measuring 1 to 2.5 cm. This is the most pathogenic helminthes, causing reduction of weight gain, severe anemia, edema of the gastric mucosa promoting decreasing the absorption of nutrients, external swelling called "edema of dewlap", and it’s characteristic signs of hemoncose, besides causing death in severe parasitosis. The aim of this study was describe the abomasal parasite fauna and sexual parasitism with Haemonchus contortus. Abomasal samples were collected after slaughter of goats, being recovered a total of 12460 helminths. The slaughtered animals were observed before and after slaughter. Before the slaughter were observed hair bristly and opaque, beyond severe anemia. After killing was observed abomasal parasitism by H.contortus and T.axei, where the parasitic load of H. contortus was accounted for more than 98% of parasitism, being equivalent the relation between male and female, in addition of the parasitism was observed mucosal lesions caused by fixation of nematode in abomasum, and pale carcass.

The genus Salmonella are rod-shapedfacultative anaerobes enterobacteria that are obligatory intracellular parasites and worldwide distributed. These pathogens are considered of great importance for animals as for humans. In broiler industry, Salmonella normally cause no harm to poultry, but are involved in foodborne diseases in humans and represent a significant public health problem. The main source of transmission to humans is the consumption of eggs, followed by bovine meat and chicken. Control of this disease is complex because of its wide distribution, making it necessary to adopt preventive measures, because once present in the production chain of poultry industry, the health management for control of Salmonella is expensive. In general, clinical signs of salmonellosis are associated with the gastrointestinal tract, but systematic infection can occur with death. The losses are high for both poultry industry and for public health, and the best way to reduce costs are related to the disease is by adopting preventive measures rather than curative measures. The objective of this review is to show the importance of avian Salmonella in public health.

Taking into account the context presented, the research aims to characterize the performance of the functions of operations, research and development in a small membership organization. The methodology is to review the literature that discusses the functions of operations, research and development, project management, third sector and social economy, and implementation of a roadmap for semi-structured to perform an in-depth interview, in the case is an exploratory research descriptive type diagnostic, predominantly qualitative. Among the results are the perception that the organization has an operations function with difficulties in moving out of rural areas in addition to lack of use of computers and the Internet. Thus, the research points to the difficulty of moving goods by not having control over the means of urban transport, and use old technology for the development of activities. One of the limitations of the research is the difficulty of meeting the specific activities of each organizational function due to the small size of the organization.

Fractures of the mandible and maxilla are common in dogs and cats, representing 3% of all fractures in dogs and 15% of which occur in cats, the main cause of injuries are usually the motor vehicle collisions, falls and fights. Many treatments are proposed to correct this defect, as the use of intramedullary pin, the external skeletal fixation, cerclage and use of acrylics and bony plates. The present study reports the case of a dog's Poodle Adult, showing fractures in the jaw with bone loss, and ocular injury caused by bites from another animal. The technique used in this was transfixed with Kirschner intramedullary pin flat rostral to the region, coupled with the bone plate to the area of the mandibular body. The treatment prescribed in the postoperative period was the basis of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic and past diet. The total recovery of the animal was given 30 days after surgery.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate ambulatory clinical cases of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and diabetic foot infections (DFIs) in the U.S. from 2007 to 2013 and to assess outcomes of emergency department or inpatient (ED/IP) admission, number of clinic visits per year, and physician time spent per visit.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A cross-sectional historical cohort analysis was conducted by using the nationally representative Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data from 2007 to 2013, including patients age ≥18 years with diabetes and either DFIs or DFUs. Study outcomes were analyzed by using generalized linear models controlling for key demographics and chronic conditions.

RESULTS

Across the estimated 5.6 billion ambulatory care visits between 2007 and 2013, 784.8 million involved diabetes and ∼6.7 million (0.8%) were for DFUs (0.3%) or DFIs (0.5%). Relative to other ambulatory clinical cases, multivariable analyses indicated that DFUs were associated with a 3.4 times higher odds of direct ED/IP admission (CI 1.01–11.28; P = 0.049), 2.1 times higher odds of referral to another physician (CI 1.14–3.71; P = 0.017), 1.9 times more visits in the past 12 months (CI 1.41–2.42; P < 0.001), and 1.4 times longer time spent per visit with the physician (CI 1.03–1.87; P = 0.033). DFIs were independently associated with a 6.7 times higher odds of direct ED referral or IP admission (CI 2.25–19.51; P < 0.001) and 1.5 times more visits in the past 12 months (CI 1.14–1.90; P = 0.003).

CONCLUSIONS

This investigation of an estimated 6.7 million diabetic foot cases indicates markedly greater risks for both ED/IP admissions and number of outpatient visits, with DFUs also associated with a higher odds of referrals to other physicians and longer physician visit times.

Published: May 2017

A flywheel energy storage prototype was designed and built to get high energy density and low bearing loss. The aluminium alloy hub formed by thin plate and shell connected the bearing shaft and the rim which was composed by glass fibre and carbon fibre reinforced composite. Finite element analysis on stress field of the composite flywheel indicated that the flywheel could run at the rated speed of 700 r/s (rotation per second) safely. The flywheel was supported by 5-degrees of freedom active magnetic bearings (AMBs). The flexible modes of the rimhub-shaft system were analyzed by using finite element (FE) based software. The complex non-synchronous vibration was observed, analyzed and suppressed during testing of the flywheel system. The control method of adding phase compensator to the velocity channel in the cross feedback controller was presented to make the supporting AMBs work better while the flywheel passed through its first flexible mode. The field balancing at high speeds enabled the flywheel to reach the speed of 475 r/s with small amplitude of synchronous response.

Published: May 2017

The measurement algorithms applied in power quality measurement systems are based on Fast Fourier Transformation. That one-dimension frequency analysis is sufficient in many cases. However, to illustrate the character of the signal in a more comprehensive manner, it is crucial to represent the investigated signal on time-frequency plane. There are a lot of time-frequency representations (TFR) for presenting measured signal. The TFR: Short-Time Fourier Transformation (STFT), Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution (SPWVD) and Gabor-Wigner Transform (GWT) are described in the paper. The ability of implementation of mentioned methods in harmonics computation according to the power quality standards were presented in the paper.
Output Power of Linear Generators under Reactive Control in Regular Waves

Direct drive wave energy converters couple a linear generator directly to a reciprocating wave energy device. This way, the performances showed by hydraulic and pneumatic based systems are improved. After linear generator, full-scale back-to-back Voltage Source Converters are used to adequate the electric energy before delivering to the grid. This stage is made up of two parts: the generator side converter stage consists of rectifying the electricity generated by the linear generator; the other one turns it in alternating current with suitable voltage and frequency parameters. The first one allows control over the instantaneous power flow possible, and in turn enables both power flow directions; this capability allows implementing reactive control. This control strategy is used to maximize the energy extraction from waves by the power takeoff (PTO) based on reaction force control. This paper shows how to determine and quantify, not the power extracted from waves, but the one transferred to the electronic converter.

Published: May 2017

In accordance with the Latvian “Law on the Energy Performance of Buildings”, the environmental and economic considerations as well as binding regulations of the local government and other regulatory enactments should be taken into account in designing buildings to evaluate the possibility to use alternative solutions for the buildings. The paper describes experience and practice of this Policy and Strategy in Latvia. The RES dealt with in the paper relate to the geothermal and solar energy in the Latvian conditions. Currently, in Latvia mainly non-renewable natural resources and wood or its processed products are used for heating. A negative side effect stemming from the use of fossil fuels is the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere. Furthermore, the use of fossil fuel energy in the country is limited due to changing price policies of foreign providers. At the same time, RES play an ever increasing role in the Latvian energy balance. Nevertheless, besides objective factors (rather a high cost of the RES technologies, a long pay-back time for the relevant installations, etc.), there exist such subjective factors as prejudices of the people who are lacking trust and confidence in new technologies and do not comprehend positive aspects of their use. All this retards more active use of RES in Latvia. The administration of the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve (NVBR) has completed erection of the Environmental Education and Information Centre with a potential area of 675m2 in the town of Salacgriva. This centre is expected to provide local residents, businesses, municipalities and state institutions with information about the natural assets of the reserve as well as about protection of natural resources and the use of innovative solutions in the regional development. By now, a project of the environment-friendly building in the Biosphere Reservation (BR) on the north of Latvia (Vidzeme) has been accomplished. The BR covers the area of Salacas River (the fourth major river of natural salmon spawning in the Baltic Sea catchments) − a temperate forest zone characteristic of the Baltic Sea coastal ecosystems. Its land area is 4577km2 , with the population of about 80 000 people. Half its area is covered by forests and 15% by wetlands. The reservation includes 167.5 km2 of the Gulf of Riga coastal aquatorium.
