Published: December 2024

The current study reveals that vermicomposting garden waste (GW) and kitchen waste (KW) is a highly effective eco-biotechnological method for converting garden waste (GW) and kitchen waste (KW) into cow dung using Eisenia fetida. This technique is both excellent and environmentally friendly. In this study, we utilized cow dung (CD) as the initial feeding stock, along with various composting materials. The experiment was conducted in the spring season in different ratios of both waste [garden waste, marking as G1, G2, G3, and K1, K2, K3] with cow dung for 65 days. The changes in PWC, growth rate, and HPR in different ratios of both garden and kitchen waste were significantly different compared to the CD. The changes in PWC of diIt was found that the changes in PWC for different amounts of garden waste were significantly different from the CD in terms of growth rate (F3,8: 47.16; p < 0.0001; one-way ANOVA), HPR (F3,8: 4.45; p = 0.041; one-way ANOVA), and the same was true for kitchen waste. The changes in PWC for different amounts of kitchen waste were significantly different from the CD in terms of growth rate (F3,8: 164.8; p < 0.0001; one-way ANOVA), and HPR (F3,8: 52.19; p < 0.0001; one-way ANOVA). meters are analyzed during vermicomposting. Earthworm activity significantly reduced pH 0.5 to 2.18 and also decreased organic carbon and organic matter content from 28.9% to 71.3%. After vermicomposting, the total Kjeldahl nitrogen and available phosphorous content significantly increased from 32% to 171% in all mixtures. Moisture content and bulk density both decreased significantly in all mixtures from 10.9% to 81.7%. The results indicated that the G2 and K2 were the best combination for earthworm fecundity and growth rate.

Published: December 2024

Arsenic is a ubiquitous element that occurs either as a pure element or as a component of many minerals, sulfur, and metals. Elemental arsenic and its compounds are carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic for living organisms in the environment at elevated levels. Global reports of arsenic contamination in soil and groundwater are frequent. Reports also indicate arsenic contamination in the groundwater and soil of the Rohtak district of Haryana state. The present work was designed to check whether agrochemicals could be a possible source of arsenic contamination in the study area, as no geogenic sources of arsenic were reported. In total, 82 samples of commonly used agrochemicals differing in compositions and brands were collected and analyzed by the fluorescence method using the Fluorat-02-4M Analyzer. Phosphate fertilizers were found to be highly contaminated; the highest amount of arsenic was reported in N: P: K (0:52:34) with a mean value of 345 ppb, followed by N: P: K (12:32:16) with a mean value of 292 ppb, followed by diammonium phosphate with a mean value of 252 ppb. Organic fertilizers show comparatively low values. Arsenic content in various pesticides ranged from 6 ppb to 228 ppb. Despite the ban on arsenic-containing pesticides, nearly all agrochemicals contain it. Research indicates that farmers should reduce their use of chemical fertilizers and promote the use of organic fertilizers instead.
Acute toxicity of dithane M-45 in freshwater fish Labeo rohita: A laboratory study
Authors: Maurya Puspendra Kumar , Jyoti Smita , Maurya Pradeep Kumar
Published: December 2024

This study evaluated the toxicity of Dithane M-45, a common fungicide, in the freshwater fish species Labeo rohita. The lab-scale experiments were conducted to determine the concentration-dependent effects on fish mortality and behavioral changes. The median lethal concentration (LC50) values were identified as 190 mg/L at 48 hours, 170 mg/L at 72 hours, and 160 mg/L at 96 hours, indicating increased toxicity over time. Observations during the initial hour of exposure included pronounced behavioral responses such as jumping, increased movement, and frequent chelae scraping against body parts. These acute responses gradually subsided, with the fish returning to a more sedentary state within 36 hours. Subsequently, the fish settled at the bottom of the aquaria, displaying reduced activity. The gills and the inner linings of the branchiostegal began to produce mucus after 36 hours of exposure. This mucus production became more pronounced with prolonged exposure, particularly at the 96-hour mark. These findings suggest that Dithane M-45 has significant acute and subacute toxic effects on L. rohita, impacting both physiological and behavioral parameters. The findings showed the importance of monitoring and regulating the use of Dithane M-45 in aquatic environments to mitigate potential ecological and health risks.

Published: December 2024

People in the hilly region are looking at soybean, a highly nutritious crop, as a solution to the problem of malnutrition. The inhabitants of hilly areas of Uttarakhand state in the Indian Himalayan region cultivate the soybean variety 'Bhat'. The crop has several health benefits due to its high protein and fiber content. Lack of focused studies on ‘Bhat’ cultivars has led to gradual declination in production of this important crop. The goal of the present study was to analyze the growth and development patterns in the soybean accessions collected from the different villages of the Garhwal division of Uttarakhand. Significant variations were recorded in the germination rate and plantlet development of different accessions of 'Bhat' cultivars on varying growth mediums. Sowing time and adding manure proved to be crucial for optimal germination. The study provides preliminary information that holds potential for identifying the best cultivars suitable for cultivation and varietal improvement programs of this indigenous crop variety of Uttarakhand

Published: December 2024

The medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidium reportedly possesses a variety of advantageous properties. Due to its rare existence in nature, people primarily cultivate this traditional Chinese medicinal mushroom on wood logs and sawdust in plastic bags or bottles. G. lucidium exhibits a wide range of biological effects, including anticancer, antidiabetic, and antibacterial properties. The extract and its active components have led to the development of numerous nutraceuticals and medicines. By preventing and treating a wide range of ailments, these formulations prolong life and improve health. Researchers are extensively studying metallic nanoparticles, particularly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), created by bioengineered sources in the search for new anti-infective drugs. The current study showcased the production of colloidal AgNPs from G. lucidium at different temperatures, as measured by zeta potential, particle size analyzer, UV-spectrophotometry, and FTIR. Furthermore, the agar well diffusion assay and MIC test depicted antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The nanoformulation of G. lucidium could have potential applications, particularly as an antimicrobial agent in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic products, which could aid in preventing microbial infection.

Published: December 2024

Millets are cereal crops classified as minor grains in the Poaceae family. Millets have been an essential component of human diet for centuries. Beyond their nutritional advantages, they are drought resistant and can thrive in diverse climatic conditions. Millets are widely recognized as functional food due to their exceptional richness in nutritional components, bioactive compounds, antioxidant, antidiabetic and anticancer activity. This review exhibits the nutritional, functional and bioactive components of various millet-based finger millet (FM), pearl millet (PM) and sorghum products. However, a diverse range of millet-based products have been developed, including baked goods, beverages, flaked, puffed, extruded, and traditional Indian food items. Nutritional profiling of all these products revealed that millets products are rich in protein, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds, etc. These attributes exhibit that millet promotes health and reduces risk of several diseases. It shows all the consequential properties to drive demand and acceptance of various millet-derived products. The future prospects of millet-based products involve in increasing awareness of their health benefits and promoting their incorporation for developing functional food products .
Prototype design of securing the internet of things in smart homes
Authors: Mujeye Stephen
Published: December 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized how businesses operate and changed our daily lives. IoT devices are used in different areas, including smart cities, smart agriculture, smart healthcare, and smart homes. The number of IoT devices connected worldwide continues to rise, and 75 billion devices are expected to be connected by 2025. Even though IoT devices are rapidly spreading, they come with security and privacy challenges. Traditional methods for securing against cyber-attacks are inefficient and inadequate for securing IoT devices. This study aimed to design and implement a secure hub ecosystem prototype with an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), including Machine Learning (ML), to defend IoT devices in a smart home. After the literature about the security of IoT devices in smart homes was analyzed to identify current challenges and limitations, a secure IoT hub ecosystem prototype was implemented. Benign data and malicious data were generated in the IoT testbed. Data was collected from the IoT smart home testbed and implemented using a supervised IDS with ML. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of network segmentation using a hub in mitigating device detection, Denial-of-Service (DoS), and Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks, which were successful in unsegmented networks. Additionally, supervised machine learning classifiers, such as Random Forest and J48, exhibited exceptional performance with precision, recall, and F-measure scores exceeding 97%, highlighting their potential for detecting malicious activities and classifying IoT devices accurately. These findings underscore the importance of combining network segmentation, advanced machine learning algorithms, and user education to strengthen IoT security in smart homes. The results contribute valuable insights to the development of resilient IoT security frameworks.

The CHDN began monitoring landbirds in 2010 and now has monitoring data in all parks for the breeding seasons of 2010?2016 (except 2015), as well as 2017 for Big Bend NP. Our intention for monitoring landbirds extends beyond the birds themselves, and includes a broader vision of landbirds as indicators of the ecosystems they inhabit. This dual purpose influenced our sampling design, especially in light of funding and logistical limitations. We sampled primarily in two habitat classes in the CHDN: grassland (upland) and riparian. De?pending on park size, we used two approaches to allocate survey point locations (Generalized Random-Tessellation Stratified sampling [GRTS] in all but one park, and a systematic grid in Fort Davis NHS).
From our species richness and composition analysis, we found that across all parks the largest species richness estimate was in Amistad NRA riparian habitat in 2013, and the lowest species richness estimate was in Carlsbad Caverns NP riparian habitat in 2010. In total, we detected 104 breeding species that are well-surveyed by the methods used. Across parks and habitats, we obtained occupancy estimates for about 250 species-park-habitat com?binations. In upland habitat we estimated occupancy for 50 species, and in riparian habitat we estimated occupancy for 58 species. Of these species, we obtained high precision (CV ?10%) for a small subset (16 species in upland habitat and five species in riparian habitat). Similarly, across parks and habitats, we obtained density estimates for 81 species-park-habitat combina?tions. We estimated density of 30 species in upland habitat and 11 species in riparian habitat.
We present occupancy and density estimates from our analyses in the form of ?species ac?counts? for all breeding species that we considered adequately surveyed by the methods used (i.e., excluding colonial, nocturnal, and low-breeding-density birds) and for which sufficient data were available for the analyses. This resulted in 51 species accounts. In addition to oc?cupancy and density results (by park-habitat), we included a conservation status table with 12 different scores/rankings (at global, continental, federal, regional, and state scales) for each species. We estimated occupancy and/or density for seven species of conservation concern: Bell?s Vireo (state-threatened in New Mexico), Black-chinned Sparrow (continental watch list species), Cactus Wren (regional concern), Cassin?s Sparrow (regional concern), Loggerhead Shrike (re?gional concern), Lucy?s Warbler (regional concern), and Scott?s Oriole (regional concern).

Authors: Sampath Harish Kumar  , Thorapadi Chandrasekaran Kanish
Published: December 2024

Indoor air pollution is very dangerous as people spend the majority time indoors. Cooking areas are found to be hazardous as there would be an emission of harmful pollutants. This is due to the continuous cooking process which affects people working there causing them various diseases, especially carbon mon-oxide poisoning. The purpose of this research is to evaluate several machine learning algorithms like sup-port vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), and decision tree (DT) for predicting the air quality index (AQI) of a Barbeque Nation Hotel kitchen’s confined interior environment. This investigation was done based on real-time data that was gathered by an indoor air quality monitoring system which was placed inside the kitchen for a few weeks under various cooking conditions. Results show that DT has the highest accuracy of 98.79% followed by KNN with an accuracy of 93.01%. SVM has an accuracy of 80.34%, and LR has a low accuracy of 80.20%. Therefore, DT which is a classification algorithm that comes under supervised machine learning has predicted AQI accurately compared to others. Moreover, by segregating living from non-living particulate matter and nullifying them, airborne diseases like COVID-19 can be prevented in the future.

Published: December 2024

The research was conducted on groundwater exploitation and usage in Ward 2, Vinh Chau Town, Soc Trang Province. A total of 405 households were interviewed about end-use water status. Groundwater samples from 9 wells were monitored once for water quality status. The results of the study indicated that there was a total of 520 wells installed at 405 households showing that water is urgently needed for domes-tic use (88.7%), and agricultural use (69.5%). There were 41.4% of the wells drilled since 2010 up to now and 74.3% of the wells drilled over 100 m. To get more water, particularly in dry seasons, the farmers applied large intake pipes (96.4% of the well’s pipe diameters were 49 and 60 mm) and illegally pumped (syringes pump, air pump, or rocket pump) which led to a decrease in groundwater levels and caused pressure on water source. Groundwater quality is within threshold values of national technical standards. Ap-propriate pumping technique was a suggestion to the farmers. Local authorities need to pay more attention to groundwater management in this area that help farmers use this resource.
Reductive removal of triclosan by Sn-bearing materials and cathode powder recovered from spent Li-ion batteries
Authors: Seok-Young Oh  , Do-Gyeom Kim  , Soo-Won Cha
Published: December 2024

Tin (Sn)-bearing materials, tin oxide (SnO) and elemental tin (Sn(0)), and cathode powder recovered from spent Li-ion batteries were examined as reductants to transform triclosan, a common antibiotic through batch experiments. The reductive removal of triclosan was rapidly observed within 1 h under the given conditions, however, the formation of a passivation layer, mainly composed of SnO2. Tin dioxide inhibited the reduction reactions on the surfaces of SnO and Sn(0). In contrast, dissolved Sn2+, formed by the addition of SnCl2, could rapidly reduce triclosan within 5 h, resulting in over 95% removal. The results support-ed the notion that the inhibition of Sn2+ formation by SnO2 on the surface acted as a rate-limiting step in the reductive removal of triclosan by Sn(0) and SnO. Conversely, the removal of triclosan by cathode powder was due to sorption and reduction, and its efficacy was limited by increased pH. A synergistic combination of Sn-bearing materials and cathode powder significantly improved the reduction of triclosan. Our findings suggest that the application of cathode Sn(0)/SnO/cathode powder with SnCl2 holds promise as an effective approach for the reductive transformation of triclosan in engineered systems.
The impact of temperature anomalies on sudden increase in water production and consumption
Authors: Cieżak Wojciech , Kutyłowska Małgorzata
Published: December 2024

The paper presents the influence of weather conditions on water consumption in two selected water-pipe networks. The analyzed problem seems to be significant because even several days with extremely high temperatures cause exploitation difficulties in the distribution system due to water consumption exceeding the average. Water companies should be prepared for complications in exploitation when even whole water from reservoirs is supplied to the network. The obtained results show that a high correlation between anomalies in temperatures and water consumption exists, especially during weekends. The Pearson coefficient varied between 0.76 and 0.88 which means that the temperature has a significant influence on water de-mand. The aim of the work was also to note that reasonable usage of tap water by individual consumers can influence the security of water distribution. On days when extremely high external air temperatures are forecasted, water consumption for non-essential purposes, such as watering gardens or filling backyard pools, should be limited.
On non-Pareto efficiency
Authors: Kaliszewski Ignacy
Published: December 2024

We investigate assessment functions, i.e., functions that aggregate numerical attribute values into single numbers. All assessment functions in the current use share the same limitation: they do not explicitly account for the attribute values balance. Here, we present assessment functions that provide for that. However, those functions are at odds with the well-established paradigm of Pareto efficiency. As an example, the relevance of assessment functions to rankings is discussed.
Effects of Single Parenting on Student's Academic Performance in Selected Public Secondary Schools in Mukurwe-Ini Sub-County, Nyeri County, Kenya
Authors: Gitonga Julius Mathenge
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate how having a single parent affects the educational success of a sample of secondary school students in the Mukurwe-ini area of Nyeri County. Four specific goals need to be accomplished in order to reach the target. One: Examining the factors that lead to single parenting. Two: Assessing the challenges that single parents experience in raising their children. Three: Identifying solutions that can mitigate the negative impacts of single parenting on students' academic performance. Four: Evaluating the role of school-based support systems in improving outcomes for children from single-parent families. For this reason, it is important to examine the factors that lead to single parenting, the challenges that single parents experience in bringing up their kids, and the solutions that have been shown to be effective in reducing the negative impact of single parenting on students' academic performance. Divorce, death, and separation are all factors that might lead to the formation of a nuclear family. Among these challenges include the inability to afford school materials, a lack of time to examine pupils' practice books, and a lack of communication between the parent and the child. Students raised by single parents encounter unique challenges, including but not limited to: a lack of access to educational resources; a lack of parental support; financial issues; emotional strain; and clinical depression. One thousand pupils in Form Three at three different secondary schools in the Mukurwe-ini Sub-County participated in the study, which would use an exploratory research design. One hundred third-graders from each of the three schools were randomly selected to represent ten percent of the total population. Of the total 50 teachers were selected at random, making up 30%. Questionnaires were the main method of data collecting used in this study. The schools were chosen through deliberate sampling to ensure gender parity and to get a diverse set of responses to questions about how single parenting affects children's academic success. The researcher checked the totals after collecting the surveys to see whether every question was answered. The collected information was analysed using descriptive statistics. The research found that the performance of children from single parents in schools is affected mainly by the absence of the other parent of the children which causes boredom. Lack of discipline and work overload by the parent also leads to poor performance among children from single parents in school. The study recommends that Mukurwe-ini Sub-County secondary schools should come up with a strong support system for children from single parents in order to improve their performance in school

Introducción: Los tumores neuroendocrinos apendiculares (TNEa) tienen una incidencia de 0,97-1,4 casos por 100.000 habitantes por año y el adenocarcinoma de células caliciformes apendicular (ACCa) de 0,01-0,05 casos por 100.000 habitantes por año. A su vez, las neoplasias mixtas neuroendocrinas y no neuroendocrinas (MiNEN) asientan en el apéndice cecal (MiNENa) en el 52,9% de los casos. Debido a su infrecuencia, el objetivo es analizar las indicaciones quirúrgicas de hemicolectomía derecha (HD) establecidas y el pronóstico de dichas neoplasias.

Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, cuya población a estudio la componen los pacientes intervenidos con diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda entre 2014 y 2022, y que en el estudio histopatológico presentaron una neoplasia apendicular no mucinosa incidental asociada. Se incluyen los pacientes ≥15 años con neoplasias apendiculares no mucinosas (TNEa, ACCa y MiNENa) y se excluyen pacientes con una historia clínica incompleta y un seguimiento menor de 1 año.

Resultados: Quince pacientes cumplieron los criterios de selección: TNEa (n=12), ACCa (n=2) y MiNEN (n=1). En los pacientes con TNEa no se realizó ninguna HD. En los dos pacientes con ACCa, la HD se realizó por ser tumores T4a con perforación apendicular asociada. En la paciente con MiNENa, se realizó HD por ser la resección apendicular R1, tener un tamaño >2 cm, componente de adenocarcinoma y un grado histológico G2. Durante un seguimiento medio de 61,5±35,7 meses, no existieron recidivas ni mortalidad asociada a la enfermedad.

Conclusiones: Las neoplasias apendiculares no mucinosas incidentales presentan buen pronóstico, incluso cuando precisan HD.

Published: December 2024

This paper presents the utilization of a developed pilot wireless-based Air Quality Index (AQI) monitoring system, reporting live geo-grid resolved air quality data, for the purposes of healthy route generation and recommendation to users. The generated routes are visualized on a map and recommended to users through a specially developed web-based application, as part of the client tier of the supporting IoT platform EMULSION. A distributed computing architecture is utilized for the generation of healthy (more precisely, ‘least air pollution exposure’) routes, performed in near real-time using the dynamic Dijkstra algorithm, based on the interpolated AQI values. In addition, the fastest and shortest routes for each journey, requested by a user, are generated as well. The importance of the presented work lies within the practical applicability of the proposed method for healthy route generation, either as a stand-alone version of the software application developed for the purpose or integrated into the existing popular navigation systems and applications alike.

During the study of the collection of medieval glass in the depositary of the National Museum in Terezín, Hedvika Sedláčková noticed two cards to which glass fragments were attached with thin metal wire. They were lying on top of the box full of uncatalogued fragments marked to be thrown away. After dismantling, cleaning, and documenting the fragments, it was revealed, to much surprise, that one of the fragments belonged to a cage cup, considered a masterpiece of ancient glasswork. The other three fragments of glass vessels also came from ancient times, and other one was the bottom part of a Gothic Bohemian-type beaker. This article focuses on describing these fragments, interpretating them, and hypothesising their possible journey to the National Museum.
Talpa masinii n. sp., a new fossil mole species from the late Villanyian fauna of Rivoli Veronese (north-eastern Italy) in the context of the European fossil record of genus Talpa
Authors: Marchetti Marco
Published: December 2024

Rivoli Veronese (Verona, north-eastern Italy) is a karst fissure filling that yielded an Early Pleistocene fauna, including many remains belonging to the genus Talpa, assigned to the late Villanyian rodent age. Some of these remains, characterized by tiny size and primitive features, were already in the past suggested to represent a new mole species. To better characterize this mole, a re-analysis of the most representative fossil and living populations of the genus Talpa was performed. This allowed confirmation that it represents a new species, which was named Talpa masinii n. sp., to infer that this species existed in earlier periods in Central Europe too, and to better define the taxonomy and biochronology of the fossil Talpa populations.
Učenec ve své pracovně. Místa vědění spjatá s Antonínem Fričem (1832–1913)
Authors: Milotová Nina
Published: December 2024

The present study examines in a broader context “Frič’s study rooms”, places of knowledge associated with Antonín Frič (1832–1913), the long-time director of the palaeontological, geological and zoological collections of the Museum of the Kingdom of Bohemia (now the National Museum, Prague) and professor at Charles-Ferdinand University. Based on the research of visual and textual sources, the related spaces of shared knowledge located both in the specific architectural spaces of the National Museum and the Charles-Ferdinand University and in the wild are identified and presented. Next to the iconic Frič’s study room in the old museum Na Příkopě no. 28, it is the local museum laboratory – the so-called “rasovna” room, zoological offices in the new (today Historical) building of the National Museum on Wenceslas Square no. 68, lecture hall no. 5 in Klementinum, the first university zoological laboratory in Spálená Street no. 22 (later moved to Kaulich house no. 21 on Charles Square), the premises of the Natural Club (est. 1869) in the building of the Business Academy on Malé square (later moved to the ground floor hall no. 3 in Klementinum), a portable (“flying”) zoological station, a permanent zoological station at Počernický pond near Běchovice and also a general area of walks, trips and excursions into the wild. The aim of the text is to analyse the spatial layout of the identified places, their internal equipment, “users”, working conditions and the related organisation of work.

Can participation in a long-term after-school activity have any effect on participants’ attitudes towards museums? The Young Archaeologists Club, which is organised by the National Museum in Czech Republic, is an opportunity for children aged 10 to 14 with an interest in history to gain a deeper knowledge of archaeology and ancient culture. In 2023, a questionnaire survey was carried out among the participants of this club, which aimed to investigate the aforementioned effect on attitudes towards museums. Questionnaires distributed at the beginning and end of the course of the club were used to monitor changes in these children’s attitudes towards museums. In addition, the participants’ motivations for joining the club, their views on the role of classical archaeology in contemporary society, as well as an evaluation of the topics and activities from the club were also examined. The results show that participants valued the contact with replicas of archaeological finds and the new information gained. The most popular activities were, for example, legionary training and playing games known from ancient history. In addition, measuring attitudes before and after the club demonstrates the positive effect of the club on attitudes towards museums.

Changing Perspectives

This paper presents a reassessment of mound visibility through the analysis of Halvdanshaugen, a substantial Iron Age mound in Norway. In line with conventional views, the mound's visibility covers a considerable swath of the surrounding terrain, although views are limited by topographic features from certain directions and specific parts of the landscape. A refined viewshed analysis, incorporating vegetation as a visual barrier, however, suggests that the mound's visual impact extends no more than a few hundred meters from its base. This sees the mound placed in an enclosed setting which alters the mound’s visual characteristics, emphasizing details of both the mound and activities nearby. In contrast to traditional interpretations that emphasize landscape-wide symbolism, this study advocates for a more reflective perspective, and calls for a multi-sensory understanding of the fluid relationship between mound and landscape. It rejects the idea of universal placement rules and proposes more contextual interpretations that acknowledge the diversity observed in mound construction and use.
