Utilizing Indigenous Knowledge Systems on Climate Change for Forestry Conservation in Kenya
Authors: Mutuku Kinyili Benjamin
Published: October 2023

Forest conservation is important in climate change mitigation. The Indigenous Knowledge (IK) or Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) has recently been recognised in forest conservation for climate change mitigation. The potential use of IKS in climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa including Kenya is unknown. Numerous analytical postulations detailing how to integrate IKS in climate change management have been formulated. However, this information is fragmented and mostly lost in sociology literature. This paper briefly reviews the indigenous knowledge related to different aspects of forest resource management. This review delves at in-depth information on the IKS and climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasizing Kenya. For this review, the scooping review methodology was used to describe the state of knowledge and map the available evidence of the role of IKS for forest conservation and climate change adaptation. It discusses the role of IKS in climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa and the potential application of the IKS in preventing adverse climate change effects. The integration of IKS to guide the climate change management have been evaluated and the threats to IKS and their conservation deliberated. It is generally observed that in many rural communities in Kenya, IKS is useful for enhanced food production, forest conservation and natural disaster management. But being culture-specific, IKS can be adopted across communities in SSA for real time management of climate change.

The paper summarizes the results of a long-term introduction study of plants of golden boletus in the collection of medicinal plants of the Botanical Garden of the Institute of Biology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The primary introduction of the species into new growing conditions became possible only by transferring living plants to cultivation from the places of natural growth of the Tomsk Region, followed by propagation of plants from seeds of their own reproductions. The optimal methods of seed propagation of this species in the conditions of the North were revealed: winter sowing with freshly harvested seeds and self-sowing of seeds with further transplantation of emerging seedlings to a new plot with a feeding area of 30 30 cm golden is distinguished by high survival rate, winter hardiness and stability in the coenosis. The mass transition of plants into the generative period occurred in the second third year of life. The phenology and dynamics of plant growth have been studied. The rhythm of the seasonal development of plants in. golden in culture in the North corresponds to the new soil and climatic conditions of cultivation. The growing season is 96100 days. Golden boletus regularly forms full-fledged seeds, which, after undergoing natural stratification under snow cover, germinate in the spring and give a large self-sowing. Real seed productivity (the number of mature full-fledged seeds) in plants c. golden of different ages varies over the years from 420 to 570 seeds per shoot. The morphobiological signs of the generative shoot were studied in culture and the amplitude of their variability was determined. High and very high levels of individual variability of signs of the floral zone of the shoot indicate the possibility of targeted selection of more productive individuals within the population. For the first time, data on the content of proteins and its amino acid composition in plants are presented. The mass fraction of nitrogen (in terms of crude protein) in the aboveground phytomass was 1,51,8%. In proteins from aboveground phytomass, 17 amino acids were identified, including 7 essential ones (threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine). The proportion of essential amino acids averaged 39% of the total. The highest rates were noted for amino acids: glutamic, aspartic, leucine, lysine, alanine and valine 13,1, 10,7, 9,2, 8,1, 6,7 and 6,2% respectively.

Published: October 2023

The analysis of non-destructive variables in plants, such as the SPAD index, shows a growing trend of adoption in the field. However, it is necessary to determine comparative reference standards, aiming to assist in the interpretation of results obtained in the field and in making decisions about the management to be adopted. The study aimed to propose levels of interpretation of the SPAD index in oregano leaves based on the yield of the crop. The experiment was conducted in protected environment, randomized blocks design was adopted with four replications in 6 x 4 factorial scheme: six levels of water replacement (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, and 110% of the crop evapotranspiration-ETc) and four doses of bokashi (0, 100, 200, and 300 g m-2). For analysis, the data were subjected to variance analysis, multivariate analysis, regression and correlation. Productive management (water replacement and bokashi dose) influences the SPAD index response. Through mathematical analysis of the relationship between SPAD index and relative yield, the sufficiency ranges based on the SPAD index were determined in very low (<37) low (37-44), medium (44-46) and high (>46). The proposed classification of the sufficiency range for the SPAD index allows advances in the productive management of the oregano crop.

Some rural areas worldwide, including Malaysia, are not electrified due to geographical constraints, less infrastructure development, and isolation from the main power grid. In addition, renewable energy (RE) sources are considered alternatives to replace conventional (non-RE) sources that cause pollution. However, RE sources have limitations, such as the dependency of weather and geological conditions. To address this issue, a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is introduced by connecting one RE and non-RE source or more than one RE with or without non-RE sources. In this study, a stand-alone hybrid hydro and solar photovoltaic (PV) HRES was designed for Rumah Bada in Nanga Talong, Ulu Engkari. As the site has limited information on load consumption and geographical data, estimations were done based on similar studies. The available solar PV and hydro system at the site was identified with the respective parameters. The proposed system was based on the hybrid AC-DC microgrid, along with two alternatives based on the AC and DC microgrid, respectively. Technical analysis was done to find out the capability of the system by calculating the power generated during different periods and performing the load flow analysis using the PowerWorld Simulator. Apart from that, economic analysis was done to find out the most cost-efficient system by calculating the net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy (COE) using HOMER Pro.

Published: October 2023

Recent progress in photovoltaic (PV) cell usage has been hindered due to a shortage of suitable materials that emit adequate wavelengths of light energy and convert it to electricity. Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) and quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) have been identified as promising artificial light sources and PV cell types to nicely fit into this solution, not only complying with that but also being controllable, flexible, portable, and lightweight. The purpose of this study is to provide a review of the application of how QLEDs can be collected for QDSCs. First, we introduce QLEDs as artificial light sources, briefly outline their mechanics and benefits, and compare them to other light sources for QDSC harvesting. Then, we summarize the mechanisms that occur when a QDSC absorbs a photon from a QLED, as well as how these energy flow pathways influence artificial light energy harvest. Finally, we explore the optoelectronic properties of lead sulphide (PbS) and lead selenide (PbSe) as appropriate quantum dots (QDs) materials for current applications in QDSC and QLED technologies. We anticipate that the literature will be comprehensive and relevant to the scientific community interested in creating artificial light energy harvesting and thus researching the most recent alternative method of getting healthy energy.
Routing and facility location optimization in a dairy products supply chain
Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, Wofuru-Nyenke Ovundah King
Published: October 2023

Routing and facility location optimization is an important aspect of supply chain management. This is because the problem of determining which facilities within a supply chain echelon should cost-effectively supply products to facilities in the next echelon is usually encountered by supply chain managers and analysts. In this paper, a linear programming model for supply chain routing and facility location optimization has been proposed. The model can be solved using the PuLP optimization library implemented in Python programming language. The model has been applied to a small dairy products supply chain to determine the most cost-effective routes for products in the supply chain. The optimization results proffered the optimal contribution of each factory warehouse to each distribution warehouse in order to satisfy distribution warehouse demand while minimizing costs. The results of the study indicated that the model is efficient in solving the routing and facility location optimization problem usually encountered in supply chain management. Therefore, this study will aid supply chain analysts and managers in determining the most cost-effective route for distributing products between echelons or stages of supply chains under study.

The future way of grassland management is greatly influenced by the new functions of the grasslands relative to the environment. This means that the role of raising nutrition will be expand by the role of keeping the natural resources. In the EU the price of the arable lands are controlled by the supply and demand, so the quality of the arable and the value of it come asunder. The market economy has to evaluate the arable reliable and accurate. In according to these sentences it is necessary to show the real value of soil quality, of arable in the register of estate. An important part of the sustainable developing is to find the adaptation to the local area and the nature. This aspect could be found in the multifunctional European Agricultural model and in the rural development too. Nowadays we use the way of the land evaluation known as the “aranykorona”, which is an obstacle to the way of the sustainability. The evaluation of grasslands in Hungary is not solved, the details we have are disused, so it is hard to plan the yields of the grasslands, we can estimate them a posteriori. In the D-e-Meter grassland module we start the evaluation with the DM yield of the characteristic grass. This starting point is modified with the factors proper to the area. The measured and the estimated DM yield were compared to each other at 3 grassland at Bőszénfa. To evolve an up-to-date evaluating system we analysed grasslands at the University of Kaposvár Deer Farm at Bőszénfa to find answers to the followings:

• Soil analysis of the humus, the N, P, K levels and the pH of the grasslands

• Describe the botanical composition by the Balázs-method

• The quality and the nutrition value of the grasslands

• Yearly yields of grasslands

• Analyzing of the results by the D-e-Meter system
Verges as fragments of loess grasslands near Kondoros
Authors: Sutyinszki Zsuzsanna
Published: October 2023

Loess vegetations of the Carpathian Basin have been ploughed for a thousand years. Therefore, in Hungary, it is also important to find out the composition of loess vegetation. Therefore, loess steppes of verges of the Transdanubia have nearly disappeared.The extent of the loess bedrock and its vegetation were significant in the Pannonian area, but nowadays (Zólyomi, 1936, 1958; Zólyomi et al., 1997), they have been left in only fragments, mainly because of intensive agricultural activities and expansion of agricultural areas (Rákóczi and Barczi, 2014; Barczi et al., 2004a, b; Penksza et al., 2011; Deák et al., 2016a; Valkó et al., 2018). Therefore, the patches are very important, extending mainly over the central plain of the Pannonian area, but also spreading up to the foothills (Bíró et al., 2018; Penksza et al., 1994, 1996). Thus, several researchers have investigated these remnant vegetation patches in the central Carpathian Basin, Szerényi and Kalapos (2000), Csontos and Tamás (2007), Csontos et al., (2022). However, most of the studies were made in the Great Hungarian Plain, where the role of the Cumanian mounds was also significant from among the remnants. These patches of loess remnants are considered as hot spots for vegetation (Deák et al., 2016b, 2022; Dembicz et al., 2018, 2020). In addition, verges alongsideagricultural areas and roads, where the vegetation has been reduced, are also very important as relics of the former vegetation (Csathó, 2008, 2011; Szentes et al., 2022; Bajor et al., 2016).

Authors: Paim Gonçalves André , Streitenberger Ivo Felipe , Lucchini Coutinho Olympio , Araújo Marins Felipe , Albuquerque Heitor
Published: October 2023

This article presents an approach of a radar receiver that has an intrinsic power limitation based on photodetector power saturation. The radar signal power detection is implemented using optical self-homodyne detection. The proposed architecture uses a phase modulator (PM) to modulate the optical carrier and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to filter the spectrum and convert the phase to intensity modulation. The self-homodyne technique eliminates the optical carrier influence. It enables to reduce of shot noise influence and increases the photodetected optic power to improve the conversion gain. Moreover, the photodetection is performed at the radar pulse baseband, allowing to obtain transimpedance gain. An experimental demonstration is performed. A dynamic range of 56 dB is achieved for a pulsed radar operating at 20 GHz.
Selection of preload in tapered roller bearingsarrangement according to durability criterion
Authors: Kaczor Jarosław
Published: October 2023

The main purpose of using tapered roller bearings is to obtain high bearing stiffness. High bearing stiffnessis achieved by using an appropriate mounting clamp in the bearing system. The mounting clamp, or in otherwords, the pre-clamp, is currently selected based on experience. The literature lacks precise indicationsregarding the size of the initial clamp of the bearing arrangement depending on the external load, and it isselected intuitively. The wrong choice of preload can have a disastrous effect on the life of the entire bearingarrangement.This study aims to determine the maximum preload in the tapered roller bearing system, taking into accountits durability and the elasticity of the bearings and the shaft.In this article, different load variants are analysed, considering the effect of preload on the fatigue life of thebearing system, and recommendations are proposed for the acceptable preload value depending on the size ofthe bearings used.

The conditions of an aligned axis of the journal and sleeve and the staticequilibrium position of the journal were assumed. Different bearing length-to-diameter ratio values andrelative and lobe relative clearance were considered. Reynolds' energy and viscosity equations were solvedby means of an iterative procedure. Adiabatic oil film and laminar flow in the bearing gap were considered. Itwas stated that different lobe geometries generate changes in the characteristics of bearings.
ON THE HEAT DISSIPATION FUNCTION FOR MAGNETIC RELAXATION PHENOMENA IN ANISOTROPIC MEDIA
Authors:   University of Messina, Italy, Restuccia L.
Published: October 2023

Using the methods of classical irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables, the heat dissipation function for magnetizable ani­sotropic media, in which phenomena of magnetic relaxation occur, is derived. It is assumed that if different types of irreversible microscopic phenomena give rise to magnetic relaxation, it is possible to describe these microscopic phenomena splitting the total specific magnetization in two irreversible parts and introducing one of these partial specific magnetizations as internal variable in the thermodynamic state space. It is seen that, when the theory is linearized, the heat dissipation func­tion is due to the electric conduction, magnetic relaxation, viscous, magnetic irreversible phenomena. This is the case of complex media, where different kinds of molecules have different magnetic susceptibili­ties and relaxation times, present magnetic relaxation phenomena and contribute to the total magnetization. These situations arise in nuclear magnetic resonance in medicine and biology and in other fields of the applied sciences. Also, the heat conduction equation for these media is worked out and the special cases of anisotropic Snoek media and anisotropic De-Groot-Mazur media are treated.

"A new model that captures the cellular evolution of patients undergoing maintenance therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in connection with al¬lergic reactions is considered. A previous model from is modified to include the cells involved in allergies induced by chemotherapy and desensitization. Delay differential equations are used to model cell evolution. General properties of solutions are deduced, eventually proving partial stability of certain equilibria with respect to some of the variables. The immune sys¬tem’s functioning, as well as the therapeutic role for cancer cure without interference of allergic reactions caused by this treatment, are also evaluated using numerical simulations."

In this paper, we study multi-valued generalized anonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. We introduce a new multi-valued iterative process and prove some weak and strong con­vergence results in uniformly convex Banach space. We also study the stability of this iteration process. Further, we provide a numeri­cal example of the multi-valued generalized a-nonexpansive mapping. Finally, the convergence of this iteration process to the fixed point for multi-valued generalized a-nonexpansive mapping is discussed on this numerical example.

A palmeira jussara aparece como uma opção na produção de palmito para o comercio, agregando renda para o agricultor. Conhecer as condições ideais da germinação da semente e desenvolvimento da muda, torna-se importante para os agricultores que desenvolvem esta cultura. Objetivou-se avaliar a eficiência da giberelina (GA3) como tratamentos pré germinativos da germinação e desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas da palmeira Jussara. O experimento foi conduzido no laboratório de propagação de plantas do IFES Campus Santa Teresa. A sementes foram despolpadas e submetidas aos tratamentos: imersão por 30 minutos em água 25°C; e em giberelina nas dosagens de 1000 mg.L-1, 2000 mg.L-1, 3000 mg.L-1 e 4000 mg.L-1. Trinta dias após início da germinação foram avaliados a germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação e tempo médio de germinação. Sessenta dias após germinação da primeira semente, foi avaliado: comprimento da raiz, altura da planta, massa verde e seca das folhas, massa verde e seca da raiz, selecionando dez plantas por tratamento, por repetição. Os tratamentos com giberelina apresentaram eficiência no aumento da germinação e desenvolvimento inicial das plântulas de palmeira jussara, sendo que a dosagem de 1000 mg.L-1 pode ser indicado para a espécie.

Os direitos humanos estão relacionados a dignidade, garantindo a igualdade, inerentes a cada ser humano, independente sexo, raça, cor, posicionamento político e religião. Dentre os direitos humanos, destaca-se a garantia à segurança pública, direito social e fundamental, considerando o índice de violência e de criminalidade. A segurança pública e os direitos humanos garantem a proteção aos indivíduos em um Estado Democrático de Direito, considerando os direitos constitucionais. Logo, o Estado detém relevância nesse processo, abrangendo a relação jurídica e os direitos humanos, sendo um instrumento garantidor dos direitos dos indivíduos. Diante disso, estabeleceu-se como objetivo da presente pesquisa, discutir a relação entre a segurança pública e os direitos humanos. Desde a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, os princípios relacionados ao respeito e promoção dos direitos humanos vem sendo buscados. A responsabilidade do Estado sobre a segurança pública, garante o combate quanto a situação de violência, quando da atuação sob a proteção e garantia da segurança dos indivíduos. Diante do exposto no presente estudo, pode-se perceber que os direitos humanos são direitos fundamentais de todos os indivíduos, ou seja, todo ser humano possui o direito resguardado e indispensáveis à condição humana, assegurando ao ser humano liberdade e na dignidade, bem como, demais direitos, como o direito à segurança pública. Logo, a segurança pública no mundo atual considerando as situações de violência vivenciadas no cotidiano dos cidadãos, deve ser combatida pelo Estado, pois é direito do cidadão, e responsabilidade social para a garantia dos direitos humanos.

A redução das emissões de gases poluentes proveniente dos veículos movidos a combustão é fundamental para o cumprimento das metas relacionadas às mudanças climáticas, sendo o setor de transportes responsável por 32,7% do consumo final de energia do país. A eletrificação veicular tem a capacidade de reconfigurar a indústria automotiva devido a concepção da engenharia do veículo ser significativamente diferente, trazendo oportunidades para explorar novos entrantes, processos industriais, serviços, tecnologias e oportunidades de trabalhos. Em 2020, no Brasil, foram emplacados 19.745 veículos elétricos, registrando um aumento de 66,5% em relação a 2019. Comparado ao mercado de veículos a combustão, esses números representam apenas 1% dos veículos no Brasil. Neste sentido, o presente estudo, utilizando a matriz SWOT, realizou a análise dos desafios para o mercado da mobilidade elétrica, tendo como contexto de análise o Estado do Espírito Santo para que novas oportunidades de negócios sejam exploradas a fim de fomentar o uso de veículos elétricos e otimizar a infraestrutura de transportes. Com resultado, observou-se um cenário sustentável para implantação de novos negócios no Estado.

Authors: Suleyman Sagir
Published: October 2023

Our study aimed to assess the quality of life of both children with monosymptomatic enuresis and their parents during the enuresis period and through the process of cessation with desmopressin treatment. Materials and methods: The study assessed 78 children aged 6-18 with Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis (MEN) treated with desmopressin. Comprehensive evaluations, including physical exams and lab tests, were conducted. The surveys on the impact of enuresis on daily life and emotional well-being were evaluated. Results: The study observed 78 patients, averaging 10.6 years old, primarily treated for urinary incontinence with desmopressin. Patient demographics indicated 68% had education below high school, 74% were Turkish, and 26% Syrian. Familial data revealed an average of 3.87 siblings per patient. Key findings included a significant reduction in the number of incontinence days per week post-treatment (from 5.09 days to 2.59 days). Quality of Life (QOL) scores for both patients and parents showed significant improvement after treatment. The mean QOL for patients increased from 20 to 26.8, while for parents, it rose from 13 to 24.6. Overall, desmopressin demonstrated a positive impact on urinary incontinence and the associated quality of life. Conclusions: With treatment, there is a noticeable improvement in psychological, social, and emotional aspects among children with MEN and their parents. Therefore, it is essential to treat children experiencing MEN.

The article provides data on the state of hematological parameters and microelement composition of blood in premature infants with perinatal post hypoxic encephalopathy in the early neonatal period. It was established that the content of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood during dynamic observation in premature newborns with PEP compared with their levels in infants full-term with PEP and in the control, group revealed unreliably lower values of these indicators in the 1st, 3rd, 5-7th days of life. In the group of premature infants with PEP, a moderate positive relationship was established between the zinc content in the blood serum of mothers and in the umbilical cord blood serum of their children. Direct correlations between zinc concentrations were revealed in the 1st and 2nd, and in the 2nd and 3rd studies.

Abstract: This review article discusses the role of micro and macro elements in pediatrics. A thorough study of the biological role of MEs, carried out in recent years, has made it possible to accumulate factual material reflecting their influence on various physiological functions of the body and, in particular, on the metabolism of a growing organism. About 20 chemical elements take part in the formation and development of various body tissues and their physiological reactions. MEs take an active part in various types of metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates; influence the course of redox processes, the synthesis of hormones, the functions of the internal secretion organs and the nervous system. The effects of ME, which are part of physiologically active compounds, manifest themselves mainly in their influence on metabolic processes and their too high or too low content is fraught with far-reaching consequences. Knowledge of the physiological level of vitally important, irreplaceable MEs in the body of newborns, the parameters of their balance and significance in the processes of adaptation to extrauterine living conditions will contribute to the development of measures to prevent the implementation of maladaptive syndromes and those diseases in the genesis of which the main role is played by a lack or excess of MEs in the body, their imbalance.
