Authors: Olurankinse Professor Felix , Ojo Joshua Abayomi
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the impact of auditor’s independence on audit quality of listed real estate/construction companies on the Nigerian Exchange Group from 2012 to 2021. The study made use of ex-post facto research design and since the entire population was below ten firms, census sample approach was adopted. Secondary data of the firms were sourced from audited financial statements of the nine companies used for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and panel regression technique. The findings showed that there was a significant negative relationship between audit firm tenure and audit quality while the relationship between audit firm rotation and audit quality was positive and statistically insignificant. Company size showed a strong positive relationship with audit quality. Thus the study recommends that real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should make use of the services of audit firms with unquestionable track records of audit quality and reputation. In addition, real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should continually employ the services of one of the big audit firms whose character and integrity are beyond reproach. Lastly, the study recommends that management of quoted real estate/construction firms in Nigeria should consider increasing audit fees as benefits accruable to the firms far outweigh relevant costs

Freedom of the Press and Peace in Benin: A Study of Hindrance Strategies
Authors: Agnila Jeanne
Published: August 2023

There can be no peace in a context of deprivation of rights and freedoms. As such, freedom of the press, as an essential component not only of any peace process but also of democracy, was guaranteed by African constitutions at the dawn of the democratic renewal of the 1990s. Moreover, new media are born to better ensure equal access of all components of society. This is the public service media, formerly State media. A public service media outlet is “a state-owned tool for information, education, development and promotion of moral and cultural values that is neither governmental, private, commercial nor communal. It is accessible to all and is addressed to all, regardless of gender, religion, age, political affiliation, social or economic status.” A public service media outlet is "a state-owned tool for information, education, development and promotion of moral and cultural values that is neither governmental, private, commercial nor communal. It is accessible to all and is addressed to all, regardless of gender, religion, age, political affiliation, social or economic status 1 . As such, this paradigm shift brought greater responsibilities towards the people, safeguarding the general interest. However, between guarantee and effectiveness, the gap continues to widen. However, peace can only be consolidated, among other things, in a context where equal access to the media is possible and freedom of expression is admitted. Far from constitutional and legal guarantees, it is important to ask the question: What are the strategies and mechanisms put in place to hamper the freedom of public service media in Benin, and by extension the construction of a positive peace in Benin? Adopting an approach combining documentary and empirical research, it is permissible to point out that the law guarantees the freedom of public service media and the high authority in the audiovisual and communication sectors is responsible for ensuring its effectiveness.

Published: August 2023

This study investigated diversity, availability, current status, population trend, threats and conservation status of SIS in floodplain-rich haorbasin from September 2017 to April 2018. A total of 140 SIS belonging to 35 families and 89 genera were collected from 43 sampling sites (10 in arats/wholesale fish markets, 16 in retail markets, and 17 in fishing locations). Cypriniformes were the most diverse group. 47%, 29%, 14% and 9% of species were moderately available, commonly available, rarely available and abundantly available, respectively. Fish belonging to Cypriniformes and Siluriformes were under moderately available and rarely available categories. Carnivorous was dominant group (49%). National and global population trends of 44% and 13% recorded fish were declining (Perciformes, Siluriformes and Clupeiformes were dominant), whereas most of the species don't have enough biological informationstatus. Out of the 140 species, 4 belong to `critically endangered`, 18 `endangered` and 14 `vulnerable` at national level, beside the order Osteoglossiformes, Sygnathiformes and Cypriniformes were more threatened. Additionally, Mastacembelus oatesiiand Rita ritawere endangered and Channa orientalisand Barilius dogarsinghiwere vulnerable at the global level. Indiscriminate fishing, poisoning, illegal fishing, siltation, pollution and invasive species posed the greatest threat to fish diversity. Climatechange is hard to predict and drastically changing fish habitats and putting SIS at risk. Eco-friendly modern fishing technology, restoration, and potent conservation measures are urgently needed at multiple scales to conserve the fish fauna.

Authors: FIALA Jonáš , Nečas Tomáš
Published: August 2023

The cultivation of Asian pear varieties in Czech climatic conditions, specifically South Moravian region, looks very promising. The introduction of new species and varieties can increase the biodiversity, what is an important factor in dealing with currentthreats in context with climatic changes. Asian pears are especially valuable due to their resistance to Erwinia amylovoraand Pear decline phytoplasma. They have also excellent tolerance to low temperatures and resistance to European pear scab (caused byVenturia pyrina). For this experiment, pomological and phenological properties were analysed on 32 pear varieties. The fruits were maturing from 9thof September (`Zao Su Li`) to the 20thof October (`Kieffer`). The heaviest fruits were determined at `Wu Jiu Xiang` (308 g on average). The lowest weight was detected at `Nanguo` (66 g on average). `Wu Jiu Xiang`, `Zao Su Li` and `Nanguo` have thin skin, which makes them ideal for direct consumption but also, they are prone to damage. `Baoshy` and `Dong guo` have thick skin, which provides good damage protection but decreases the organoleptic properties. The thick skin tends to be very bitter and overwhelms the taste of the fruit. The highest values of total soluble solids were measured in `Nanguo` (17.5%). The sourest was `Dong guo` (0.63 %) and `Nanguo` (0.54%of total titratable acids). Varieties of Asian pears and their fruits have very diverse characteristics and it is clear that their cultivation is worthwhile in the conditions of South Moravia (i.e. in the conditions of the Middle Europe).

Birds and Rodents can cause significant damage to grain stores in developing countries, affecting the food security and income of small-holder farmers. Methods for assessing storage losses by rodents under small-holder conditions will help farmers and policy makers understand the impact rodents may have on food security, nutrition, and health. The present study aimed to determine the different damage patterns by birds and rodents in grain storage in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The study was conducted between August 2021 and February 2022. Twelve grain stores were selected for the observations based on environmental conditions and storage types. Damage patterns were observed through scan sampling by directly observing the damage patterns in terms of grain spreading, fecal contamination, hair contamination, packaging injuries, and feather presence. For loss assessment, the Bowls with known quantities (about 2kg) of grains were placed within grain storage and periodically monitored for weight loss, fecal contamination, and percentage of birds and rodent- damaged grains. The bowels were weighted before and after rodents or bird attack and difference in weight were used to calculate percentages losses. Grain spreading was observed as main damage pattern by birds. Its percentage was measured as 68%, followed by fecal droppings (14%), packaging injuries (13%), and feather presence (5%). Rodents main damage pattern was also grain spreading (47%), followed by packaging injuries (23%), fecal droppings (20%), and presence of hair (10%). Estimates of grain losses in the absence of measures were 23.1% annually. These losses were reduced when rodent control was implemented. So, by implementing control methods and propers storage strategies and using good quality packaging material the rodents and birds losses can be reduced.
Transhümanizm: İnsan Simülakrın Sonu
Authors: GÜNAY İbrahim Emre
Published: August 2023

Baudrillard’ın simülasyon kuramına göre üretim düzeninden tüketim düzenine ya da ekonomi politikten gösterge ekonomi politiğe geçilmesiyle, insan da diğer her şey gibi simülasyon evreninde bir göstergeye diğer bir deyişle simülakra dönüşmüştür. İnsanın simülakra dönüşümü, sistemle uyumlu ve sistemin hegemonyası sonucu fakat zamanla doğal bir şekilde gerçekleşmiştir. Transhümanist süreç Baudrillard’ın adlandırdığı simülasyon evreninde ortaya çıkarak gelişmiştir ancak planlı ve amaçlı bir şekilde insan doğasına müdahale edilerek, fiziksel ve biyolojik yeni bir tür insanın oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Transhümanizm yeni bir tür insanın ortaya çıkacağı başka bir deyişle posthüman ya da hümonoid bir anlayışı hedeflemektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda insanın, sistemin gerektirdiği biçimde farkında olmadan kendi ötesine geçmesinin ya da simülakr olmasının sonlandığı, insanın bilinçli bir şekilde fizyolojik ve biyolojik olarak kendini değiştirme kapasitesine ulaşması nedeniyle bir simülakr olarak değerlendirelemeyeceği ve artık doğallığını kaybederek ya da yapaylaşarak posthuman sürecine girdiği gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Kısaca çalışmamız Baudrillard’ın simülasyon kuramında ifade ettiği insanın simülakr olma durumunun sonlandığı, insanın transhümanist düşünce temelinde başka bir yapay varlığa bilinçli ve planlı bir şekilde dönüştürülmesi çabası üzerinden nitel bir yaklaşımla ve doküman analizi yöntemiyle ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.

Authors: Putrinata Ni Putu Menganti Harum , Chandra Dian Novita
Published: August 2023

Background: Childhood obesity still remain as one of the most prominent health challenges, especially in the 21st century. Dietary fiber is well known to contribute beneficial effects on obesity through increasing satiety, lowering energy density, improving gut health, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and regulating lipid metabolism. This research aims to evaluate the correlation of dietary fiber intake and BMI-for-age percentile score of elementary school children in Indonesia.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study that obtained secondary data from The South East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS) II study. In order to examine the relationship between dietary fibre intake and BMI-for-age percentile score, this study gathered data from children aged 7 to 12 who took part in the SEANUTS II study. This data included information on the children's daily dietary fibre intake, weight, height, gender, as well as information on their physical activity status and macronutrient intake.
Results: One hundred and fifty three children were selected (64 male children and 89 female children) through a simple random sampling manner. All participants' daily dietary fibre consumption revealed that none exceeded the Angka Kecukupan Gizi (AKG) 2019 recommended standard. In spite of the fact that based on bivariate analysis, a significant correlation between carbohydrate intake and BMI-for-age percentile score was observed (p=0.046; r=0.137). Gender (p-value = 0.013) and carbohydrate intake (p-value = 0.006) were also significantly correlated with BMI-for-age percentile score, according to multivariate analysis.
Conclusion: This study concluded that the daily dietary fiber intake of elementary school children aged 7-12 years in Indonesia is still below the Indonesian AKG (Angka Kecukupan Gizi) 2019 reference, resulting an indistinct correlation between dietary fiber intake and BMI-for-age percentile score. Parents should be more aware of the necessity of dietary fiber consumption, especially in children.
Nutritional Approach of Neonatal with High Output Stoma Due to Long Segment Hirschsprung Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Primadi Aris , Suryaningrat Filla Reviyani
Published: August 2023

Background: High Output Stoma (HOS) continues to be one of the most challenging problems for pediatrician especially in neonates. One of the most common causes in neonatal HOS is post resection long segment Hirschsprung disease.

Case: We reported a case of three-day-old baby boy diagnosed as Hirschsprung diseases with peritonitis possibility and did laparotomy with ileal resection, double barrel ileostomy and biopsy. Nutritional management is a major subject on taking care of this type of neonatal patient. We share our experience in limited facilities with all the patient uniqueness

Discussion: Loss of a significant length of the small bowel results in interrelated physiologic events as a result of decreased small intestinal mucosal absorptive cell. This leads to a lesser fraction of ingested food and intestinal secretion thus causing an excessive volume loss. The introduction of early enteral feeds promotes intestinal adaptation, with subsequent weaning off parenteral nutrition. Most off patient with high output stoma will require parenteral nutrition which is associated with acute and long-term complications. In our case, we did early nutritional intervention using parenteral and enteral nutrition, counting ongoing fluid loss trough stoma and adjust it to total daily fluid requirement. We found weight loss during hospitalized due to HOS, and we do catch up at the end. We found difficulties to adjust comparation between enteral and parenteral intake to maintain the weight gain.

Conclusion: Although parenteral nutrition is often necessary, at least initially, the therapeutic goal should be to enhance intestinal adaptation and enteral nutrient assimilation, and thereby reduce parenteral nutrition requirements. Daily monitoring for ongoing fluid loss very crucial for adjusting nutrition.

Teachers as educators should set a good example for students in a culture of fond of reading. Apart from teachers, parents also have a very important role in cultivating a culture of liking to read, because the most time students have is the time when they are with their parents at home. The environment also influences the growth of a reading culture. We can see this when students are not at school, so it cannot be denied that students spend more time watching TV, playing gadgets and students use it to chat with various applications. It is necessary to instill in students a culture of liking to read and awareness of the benefits of reading with this in mind that students realize that reading can improve student achievement.  The problem solving process is carried out in the  PKL 1 mini project activities using the casework method, through the general intervention stage which consists of: Engagement, Intake, Contract, Assessment, Planning, Intervention, Evaluation and Termination.  What is the focus of the client's problem solving process is the lack of a culture of fond of reading books. This is because the client lacks the desire to read books. The objectives of the program have been achieved, as evidenced by the client always repeating at home the subjects taught at his school. The client always answers the questions given by the teacher correctly.

A thermal analysis of a forced circulation solar water heating system (SWHS) was carried out. Three different models were analyzed: SWHS without an auxiliary heater, SWHS with an auxiliary heater, and electric heater only. The study was carried out for the province of Mersin-Turkiye. Flat plate collectors with different structural properties were used in simulations, the best results were obtained with the collector with black chrome absorber coating. This system met 55% of the hot water requirement on the design day without requiring any auxiliary heater. During the season, 18.7% of hot water needs were met in January, 20.42% in February, 37.6% in March, 31.2% in November, and 20.5% in December. SWHS with an auxiliary heater, consumed 1130.3 kWh of electrical energy during the heating season, resulting in 540.3 kg of CO2 emissions. 33 % reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is achieved with this system compared to a base system powered by electricity only. The hot water use profile is an essential factor in the design of the SWHS. Since the systems using fossil fuels can meet the needs of the users, energy storage techniques must be adapted to the SWHS to be an alternative.

In this study, hybrid-electric propulsion systems, which have become a focal point in aviation in recent years, were addressed. In order to see the effects of hybrid-electric propulsion systems on fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and flight costs, five different flight times (60, 90, 120, 150, 180 min) and five different cruise altitudes (1200, 1800, 2400, 3000, 3600 m) were compared with conventional flights. The widely used Cessna 172S aircraft was taken as a reference for the conceptual applications in the study. As a result of the study, the hybrid-electric propulsion system achieved the highest fuel and cost savings of 15.1% and 14.2%, respectively, for 120 minutes flight time and 2400 m altitude, while the lowest fuel and cost savings of 9.7% and 9.1% were achieved for 60 minutes flight time and 1200 m cruise altitude. The highest CO2 reduction was 6.86 kg per hour for 120 minutes and 1200 m altitude flight, while the lowest CO2 reduction was 4.47 kg for 180 minutes and 3600 m altitude flight. It has been determined that flights with hybrid-electric configuration have advantages over conventional flights.

Today, energy needs are increasing rapidly. Since our country imports a large part of its energy resources, it is extremely important to use energy efficiently and protect the environment in order to leave a livable world to future generations. One of the losses in energy transmission is transmission loss. In order to prevent this loss all over the world, "distributed energy production" method should be encouraged. Through combined heat and power systems, we can generate heat and electricity and save energy. Cogeneration systems can generally pay for themselves within 1.5-4 years. The aim of this study is to contribute to science with a broad literature review including the design of combined power systems and the technical and economic evaluation of their most efficient applications. The systems in the literature are investigated and comparisons are made. Hydrogen fuel cell types for domestic applications are detailed and hydrogen is considered to be a logical choice. The effects of design and performance parameters are analysed. This combined power system does not harm the nature; it utilises natural resources such as wind, sun and hydrogen, which can also be obtained by electrolysis of water.
Investigation of using low GWP alternatives to replace R404A in the refrigeration system
Authors: Koşan Meltem
Published: August 2023

In recent years, the use of refrigerants, which increase the global warming potential by creating a greenhouse effect, has begun to be restricted in refrigeration systems. More environmentally friendly and more efficient synthetic mixtures and natural refrigerants are replacing refrigerants with high global warming potential. In this study, R404A refrigerant, which is frequently preferred in refrigeration systems and has a high global warming potential, was discussed. Six different refrigerants (R407H, R448A, R454C, R468A, R290, R1270) that could be alternatives to R404A refrigerant were examined and compared with R404A. Energy, exergy, and environmental analyzes were performed under the same conditions according to -10 ℃, -5 ℃, and 0 ℃ evaporating temperatures. Among the refrigerants, R290 had the best value with a coefficient of performance of 4.11 and an exergy efficiency of 40.04%. The values of R1270 refrigerant were also almost the same as R290. Even if R468A shows the lowest performance, it can be preferred over R404A because its global warming potential is lower than R404A.

Authors: Warinda Providence , Van der Merwe Clinton D.
Published: August 2023

Community-Based Tourism (CBT) is a growing niche in tourism across the world. Protected areas and conservancies in Zimbabwe have resulted in some local communities having negative attitudes towards conservation efforts and the enforcement of conservation-related regulations resulting in conflicts. This paper explores the role and value of CBT in tourism and recreation in protected areas in Zimbabwe in terms of the local participation of communities. This study sought to understand the management system and the perceptions of different stakeholders on community conservancies in Zimbabwe. Consequently, a qualitative methodology using a case study approach was used, using in-depth interviews with key informants. This paper brought insights into the current management system of CBTEs and the perceived challenges of the management system. There is over-dependence on private safari operators, which is affecting the growth and further development of CBTEs. CBT initiatives are for the community and should be managed and run by the communities.
