Efficiency of the Iraqi Isolates of Beauveria Bassiana & Metarhizium Anisopliae in Controlling the Greater Wax Moth Galleria Mellonella L.
Authors: Ghani Mohammed Yosuf
Published: August 2023

The current study was conducted in the laboratories of the Plant Protection Department/College of Agriculture and Forestry/University of Mosul during the year 2019-2020. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the Iraqi isolate of the biological control fungi Beauveria bassian and Metarhizium anisopliaeas chemical pesticides alternatives in controlling different stages of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella. The results of the biological effect of the fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae on the greater wax moth life stages showed that the cumulative mortality of eggs increased gradually with increasing concentration used. However, Beauveria bassiana was more efficient in achieving higher mortality rates than M. anisopliae in general. The highest cumulative mortality rate for eggs was at the highest concentration (7.5g/l) for both fungi. On the other hand, it was found that the highest mortality rate in wax moth larvae was inB. bassianacombined treatmentwhere spraying the larvae and the feed. The third and fourth larval instars were more sensitive than the sixth and seventh larval instars, which were not affected by the lower concentrations of the pesticide (2.5 and 5 g/L), regardless of pesticide type. The results also showed that the mortality rate in all phases increases with the increase in the post-treatment period. The results of the study indicated the superiority of B. bassiana in all treatments, concentrations and periods after treatment and led to the highest mortality rate compared with using M. anisopliae. The cumulative mortality rate in the greater wax moth was directly proportional to the increase in treatment methods and the increase in concentration and the time period after treatment.
DRAINABILITY OF PEAT DOME AREAS
Authors: PARAMANANTHAN S , WONG MUM KENG , U T PUPATHY , J R VIJIANDRAN
Published: August 2023

Most of the large peat areas in Indonesia and Malaysia have a dome-shaped surface with an inverted saucer-shaped interface between the underlying peat/mineral contact. This results in the peat dome having a lens-shaped cross-section. The concept of drainability is determined by referring the elevation of the peat dome surface in relation to the mean height of the river level to which the peat dome is being drained to. Where this dome surface is lower than the mean elevation of the water in the river, backflow into the peat area can take place. With global warming and climate change being experienced these days, the development of peat swamps for agricultural activities may result in such a backflow. This is attributed to subsidence, decomposition and compaction of the peat after a period of agricultural development/activity having taken place. In the case of oil palm cultivation, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), or the Malaysian/Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO/ISPO) Certification Scheme and the Greenpeace initiative requires existing oil palm estates to conduct a drainability study to determine if the estate may in the future have backflow from the river into the estate. This determines the length of time the estate can use natural drainage and not resort to expensive pumping. This paper reviews the concept of drainability and the problems associated in determining the drainability of peat domes. The usage of instruments such as altimeter and global positioning system (GPS) are also discussed. With the advent of technology, the determination of drainability on peat dome is made easier but remain challenging e.g. hindering the drainability team to survey along the banks of the river by native peoples. A few examples from Malaysia also are presented in this paper. Keywords: Drainability, peat dome, oil palm, climate change, RSPO.
NUTRIENT RECYCLING OF EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES AND PALM OIL MILL EFFLUENT- A CO-COMPOSTING TECHNIQUE
Authors: SUNITHA S , SHAREEF M V M , SUJATHAKUMARI N
Published: August 2023

Empty fruit bunches and palm oil mill effluent are the major and bulky by-products in palm oil mill after extraction of palm oil, both facing practical difficulties in direct soil application. In this experiment, the objective was to standardise an efficient and ecofriendly technique of utilising the nutrient potential of palm oil mill by-products for nutrient recycling. Bunch waste was mixed with raw effluent and digested effluent with and without urea as starter. Both were mixed based on the proportionate availability of the residues from the palm oil mill. A combination of digested slurry from a biogas plant and bunch wastes took only 90 days for maturity of compost whereas the fresh palm oil mill effluent (POME) mixed with bunch waste took 150 days. The final compost was rich in both nitrogen and potassium, for which the palm requirement also is high. Hence the nutrient potential of these by-products can be exploited in an integrated nutrient management approach in oil palm plantations. The nutrients recovered from compost expected from the by-products from a hectare of plantation could meet almost 30 per cent requirement of nitrogen and the full requirement of potassium. The biogas produced during the process is an added advantage of this technique which can be utilised as a fuel source in the mill. Keywords: Biological oxygen demand, composting, empty fruit bunches, nutrient recycling, oil palm, palm oil mill effluent.

On the Abolition of the Death Penalty for Drug Offences in China
Authors: Wang Yanbing
Published: August 2023

The Criminal Law Amendment (VIII) Act and the Criminal Law Amendment (IX) Act abolished the death penalty for many non-violent crimes, in line with the provisions of our Constitution on “respecting and safeguarding human rights” and in line with the international trend towards abolition of the death penalty. However, unlike many of the non-violent crimes that have been abolished, drug offences, which are also non-violent crimes, remain on the list of capital punishment. Over the past two decades, many academic and judicial leaders have worked towards the abolition of the death penalty for drug offences. However, due to the myth of the deterrent effect of the death penalty for drug offences and the heavy-handedness of the traditional drug management system, the goal of abolishing drug offences has never been achieved. The author argues that the death penalty for drug offences, as a non-violent crime, should not be treated as the most serious crime in criminal law and should be abolished. The aim of this article is to discuss the author’s ideas and rationale for the abolition of the death penalty for drug offences and to suggest some possible measures or ways to abolish the death penalty for drug offences.
Discussion on Maritime Entitlements of “Disappearing Islands” Under the Situation of Rising Sea Level
Authors: Wang Lei
Published: August 2023

The impact of climate change-induced sea-level rise has been increasing in recent years. Recent estimates by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change indicate that sea levels will rise by 98 centimeters by 2100—a considerable increase from the 59 centimeters predicted in 2007. As sea levels continue to rise, the land area of islands shrinks or is even submerged, creating “disappearing islands”. On land, habitats are destroyed, endangering species and threatening coastal investments such as coastal cities and harbors; on the sea, low-tide lines may be altered, inundating important baselines, with boundaries advancing or retreating in tandem with the baselines that have been drawn. The “disappearing islands” will no longer be a remote issue.
Applicable Law in Validity of Arbitration Clause: Judicial Practices of the US Courts on Charterparty Disputes
Authors: Zhang Jiaming
Published: August 2023

Incorporating the arbitration clause of charterparty into bills of lading (incorporation clause) is widely used in practice. When the rightful holder of bills of lading, usually the consignee, claims cargo damage to carrier, a valid arbitration clause rejects jurisdiction of domestic courts, or it will result in the jurisdiction of an arbitration tribunal. Determining governing law of examining arbitration clause, therefore, is the prerequisite of such cases. Choice of law turns out to be a controversial legal problem on account of either absence of uniformed legislation, or the complicated nature of relevant dispute. Generally, potential choices include governing law of charterparty, of bills of lading, or lex fori. In accordance with judicial practices in the United States, various courts prefer different governing law choices, but considering the interests balance between consignee and carrier, as well as party autonomy of commercial activities, the United States provides with the international society its inclination that governing law of bills of lading shall be applied.

The bifurcation diagram of the configurations of invariant lines of total multiplicity exactly three in quadratic vector fields
Authors: Bujac Cristina , Schlomiuk Dana , Vulpe Nicolae
Published: August 2023

We denote by ${\mbox{\boldmath $QSL$}}_3$ the family of quadratic differential systems possessing invariant straight lines, finite and infinite, of total multiplicity exactly three. In a sequence of papers the complete study of quadratic systems with invariant lines of total multiplicity at least four was achieved. In addition three more families of quadratic systems possessing invariant lines of total multiplicity at least three were also studied, among them the Lotka-Volterra family. However there were still systems in ${\mbox{\boldmath ${\mbox{\boldmath $QSL$}}$}}_3$ missing from all these studies. The goals of this article are: to complete the study of the geometric configurations of invariant lines of ${\mbox{\boldmath ${\mbox{\boldmath $QSL$}}$}}_3$ by studying all the remaining cases and to give the full classification of this family modulo their configurations of invariant lines together with their bifurcation diagram. The family ${\mbox{\boldmath ${\mbox{\boldmath $QSL$}}$}}_3$ has a total of 81 distinct configurations of invariant lines. This classification is done in affine invariant terms and we also present the bifurcation diagram of these configurations in the 12-parameter space of coefficients of the systems. This diagram provides an algorithm for deciding for any given system whether it belongs to ${\mbox{\boldmath $QSL$}}_3$ and in case it does, by producing its configuration of invariant straight lines.

Accuracy of Boulder County’s GIS Parcel Mapping: An Examination of GIS Cadastral Mapping Compared to Land Surveys
Authors:   , Wohlman Kayce
Published: August 2023

This research outlines land surveying in the State of Colorado and discusses the formation of parcel maps in the state. GIS continues to grow in various industries and government entities since it is able to best streamline copious amounts of geospatial information. Following suit, County Assessor Offices throughout the country have benefited from the use of a GIS to organize their data. The cost, implementation and maintenance of a GIS is a costly endeavor however it benefits both the County, State and the general public. County Assessor Office GIS systems have directly influenced the field of Land Surveying both positively and negatively. Now that the general public can go online in many counties to view their property, many feel that there is no need for a Land Survey despite the disclaimers attached to the County’s maps regarding accuracy. As this study shows, the accuracy of GIS parcel mapping is not as accurate as many may think. This field study shows that based on a sample of parcel shapefiles from Boulder County’s Assessor’s office accuracy is indeed lacking accuracy and precision.
English in Africa: A Diachronic Linguistic Perspective
Authors: Jolayemi Demola , Esimaje Alexandra
Published: August 2023

A motif for this paper is drawn from Baugh and Cable’s (1951) A history of the English language, which renders a classical and academic historical account of the origin of the English language. The book traces the origin of the language and connects it with the present users in a way to tell them the chronologies of life, ways, and speech of their progenitors. This gives the various reading generations the idea and sense of where the language has come from, its various metamorphosis, structures, cultures and its place in the embracing universe. Such historicity, one dares to say, is as handy for a second user of English as it is to the people to which English is native. Such simulation is far and in between in the literature; the students and researchers of English often wander for extractions of this in history books. This paper, as a way of bridging this gap, thus, becomes very useful as well as significant to the people whose interest lies in the history of English language in Africa. The motifs of multilingualism, bilingualism, and diglossia call attention to the African region and the behaviours of English language, in the precipitation of multiple language-use outside the indigenous ones. The reasons for the origin of these multiple language events, and the vehicles of their transportation and propagation, often elude many people. A sociolinguistic motif, which witnesses several varieties of the spoken and written English language across the African continent, finds an expression in the substratum of a convergence English for the thoroughly multilingual communities that make up the different nations in Africa. A diachronic linguistic account of the origin of all this is imperative, to say the least; and this is the concentration of this chapter.
Threat, Empathy or (Polite) Request? The Pragmatics of Administrative Letters in Cameroon English
Authors: Nkemleke Daniel A.
Published: August 2023

Text types constitute a rich source of data for the investigation of pragmatic and cultural-specific features of language use in non-native contexts. Based on a small corpus of 62 administrative letters written in Cameroon between 2005-2008, this chapter investigates how the following speech acts are expressed in these letters: (1) seeking compliance/collaboration, (2) giving directives, (3) issuing threats, and (4) expressing solidarity/best wishes. The basic question the chapter addresses is how the illocutionary act of expressing the above four speech acts is viewed: threats, empathy or request (polite) request? The politeness theory with its related pragmatic empathy concepts is employed to analyze the data. Preliminary findings reveal that many of the propositions expressed in the letters may be interpreted as potentially face-threatening because they are direct request without redress. Further, there is generally a lack of empathy for the reader, and these in itself show that politeness is generally lacking. However, the conclusion is that these interpretations hold sway only if we ignore the pragmatics of the sociocultural and historical context of language use in Cameroon. The study concludes that much work still needs to be done to illuminate this aspect of language use in administrative letter writing in Cameroon English.

Can Africa Run? Industrialisation and Development in Africa
Authors: Fiona Tregenna
Published: August 2023

Africa remains the least industrialised region in the world. Yet industrialisation is critical for growth and catching up, as well as for development more broadly. This article begins by discussing industrialisation in Africa through the lens of Thandika Mkandawire’s writings on the subject, within the context of his broader thinking on development. In particular, it reflects on his perspectives on structural change and industrialisation; the phases of industrialisation and deindustrialisation in Africa; the political economy of industrialisation in Africa; social policy and industrialisation; and trade and regional integration. The author provides an analysis of some key issues pertaining to industrial development and policy in Africa and argues that the weaknesses of industrialisation in Africa, and the periodic reversals through premature deindustrialisation, have not only hampered economic growth and development, but have also influenced the political economy of African countries, with wider social and political effects. Similarly, state capacity for industrial policy is built through ‘learning by doing’ in the actual practice of industrial policy. Amongst the key topical issues discussed in the article for industrialisation in Africa are upgrading and technological progress, regional integration, and the greening of industrialisation. A vision is put forward for ‘Transformative Industrialisation for Africa’ (TIfA).
Governance Issues and the Covid-19 Pandemic in West Africa: Are There Any Linkages?
Authors: Félix Fofana N'Zue  , Adjoua Math Komenan
Published: August 2023

This article contributes to a better understanding of the possible interaction between the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in the ECOWAS countries and the state of governance. More specifically, it determines the relationship between governance and the number of Covid-19 confirmed cases by the end of September 2021, the relationship between tourist arrivals and external debt and the number of confirmed cases. The data was collected over 2020 and 2021. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to assess the strength of association between the variables and possible causation respectively. The study found positive and significant correlation between all the governance variables, except for political stability. There was a strong association between tourist arrivals, external debt, and infection rates. Governance did not significantly impact the infection rate, whereas the number of tourists and per capita external debt did so significantly. It is therefore recommended that more stringent actions be taken to reinforce safety measures at all entry points in the ECOWAS region and that development partners look closely at the reliability of the numbers of confirmed cases to ensure th t the data collected is not manipulated simply to attract foreign resources.
Digital Learning Response in the Midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Case of Mauritius

Published: August 2023

This article investigates learners’ perception of their ability to adapt to online learning and the challenges they encountered as well as the opportunities they found in this new e-learning environment, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. A comprehensive survey was undertaken using an online questionnaire circulated among male and female students across various faculties at five universities and business schools in Mauritius. The results indicate that Covid-19 was a major disruption in higher education studies. Despite the online learning approach, students enrolled in STEM degrees were more impacted compared to those in non-STEM degrees. Around one-third of the students asserted that online learning was a major challenge, more so for those in the lowest-income group who lacked the necessary digital tools to adapt to this new learning environment. A non-conducive home environment further had a negative bearing on students’ concentration and ability to cope with their studies. We noted that postgraduate students adapt to digital learning better compared to undergraduates. There is thus a need to rethink, revamp and redesign the education system to be prepared for future shocks and build resilience through the application of best practices in the digitalisation of the education system.
Effets de la Covid-19 sur les entreprises du secteur informel agricole au Sénégal

Published: August 2023

Cet article porte sur l’effet de la crise de la Covid-19 sur les entreprises informelles du secteur agricole sénégalais. La démarche retenue combine une revue de la littérature et des analyses descriptives avec comme support les données de l’enquête du « Suivi de l’impact de la Covid-19 sur les unités du secteur informel 2020 », de l’Agence nationale de la statistique et de la démographie (ANSD). Les résultats de l’analyse ont permis de renseigner les principaux canaux par lesquels la pandémie a affecté les UPI. Il en ressort que les restrictions liées à la pandémie sont principalement la cause de la fermeture définitive ou temporaire des unités. S’y ajoutent les difficultés d’approvisionnement en matières premières et celles liées à l’écoulement des produits. Cela affecte négativement le chiffre d’affaires de ces entrepreneurs. Cette situation se traduit par une baisse de la production d’au moins 25 pour cent pour 95,1 pour cent des répondants. Par conséquent, la variation à la baisse du personnel, exclusivement des hommes, est notée pour 10 pour cent des UPI. Elle se manifeste en partie par l’adoption de stratégies d’adaptation pour faire face aux effets de la crise. Dans ce sillage, la diversification des produits a constitué pour 46,5 pour cent des unités une approche salutaire.
Primary arachnoid cyst - an early postoperative complication after microsurgical resection
Authors: Alić Fahrudin , Bečulić Hakija
Published: August 2023

Arachnoid cysts (AC) are benign, non-neoplastic fluid-filled malformations of the arachnoid tissue. Approximately 50-65% occur in the middle cranial fossa and predominantly on the left side, followed by retrocerebellar and convexity locations. Tremendous development and usage of cross-sectional imaging modalities suggest a higher prevalence of AC than previously thought. Since large arachnoid cysts express mass effect on surrounding neurovascular structures, a surgical approach is preferred to passive observation. Nevertheless, the symptomatology is frequently subjective and difficult to validate, and the causal link between symptoms and an arachnoid cyst is often dubious. Therefore, the operative indication and the best surgical modality for patients with AC remain controversial. Surgical options include opencraniotomy or endoscopic cyst fenestration, cystoperitoneal, cystosubdural, ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion, or marsupialization via a craniotomy. The complications of these procedures include subdural hematomas, hygromas, hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, postoperative secondary arachnoid cyst, and, more rarely, remote intraparenchymal or subarachnoidal hemorrhage.
Indikacije i liječenje udarnim valom u fizikalnoj medicini i rehabilitaciji
Authors: Begić Filip , Delimar Valentina , Laktašić Žerjavić Nadica , Perić Porin
Published: August 2023

Izvantjelesna terapija udarnim valom ima brojne fiziološke učinke, poput smanjenja bola i poticanja cijeljenja tkiva, zbog čega danas ima široku primjenu u mišićno-koštanoj patologiji. Postoje dva osnovna oblika udarnog vala, fokusirani i radijalni, a razlikuju se po tome što fokusirani udarni val najveću energiju postiže u žarištu na željenoj dubini, dok se kod radijalnog udarnog vala najveća energija stvara na mjestu ulaska u tretiranu regiju tijela, te slabi daljnjim prodiranjem u tkivo. Sam mehanizam djelovanja udarnog vala nije do kraja razjašnjen, a pretpostavlja se da mehanička stimulacija dovodi do stanične migracije, proliferacije, diferencijacije ili apoptoze stanica, s tim da visoka razina energije može djelovati i razorno, umjesto da posluži kao mehanički stimulus, zbog čega je nužna prilagodba energije, ovisno o tretiranom području. Modulacija bola objašnjava se „gate control“ teorijom i hiperstimulacijskom analgezijom. Osim ustaljenih indikacija poput epikondilitisa, tendinopatija, plantarnog fascitisa, kalcificirajućeg tendinitisa, udarni val danas nalazi sve širu primjenu, te se upotrebljava i u terapiji spasticiteta, poremećenog cijeljenja kosti, kronične križobolje, smrznutog ramena, osteoartritisa koljena, sindroma trkačke potkoljenice, škljocavog prsta, sindroma bolnoga trohantera, te kod sindroma miofascijalne boli. Međutim, potrebno je provesti dodatna istraživanja kako bi se utvrdila stvarna vrijednost i mjesto udarnog vala u liječenju navedenih bolesti i stanja.

Ley de Enfermería: avances más importantes tras 15 años de su promulgación en Paraguay
Authors: Ramos Valenzuela Silvia María , Zarza Jorge Quintín
Published: August 2023

El ejercicio de la enfermería comprende las funciones de promoción, recuperación y rehabilitación de la salud, así como la de prevención de enfermedades, realizadas en forma autónoma dentro de los límites de competencia que deriva de las incumbencias de los respectivos títulos habilitantes. La regulación de la enfermería es de suma importancia en cualquier parte del mundo, ya que a partir de las leyes, normas y códigos de ética se puede asegurar una mejor calidad de atención para toda la población. El estudio tuvo un enfoque mixto, con triangulación concurrente. La investigación fue descriptiva, buscando la óptica de los profesionales de enfermería sobre los aspectos más valorados de la Ley N°3206 del Ejercicio de la Enfermería, así como el trazado de una línea temporal y espacial de implementación efectiva de la misma, que pudiera dar respuesta a la interrogante ¿Cuáles fueron los avances más importantes de la Ley 3206 del Ejercicio de la Enfermería, tras 15 años de su promulgación en Paraguay? En las conclusiones la mayoría de los encuestados coincidió en que, La Ley en sí, fue positiva. Que su principal avance radicó en ser una herramienta para la defensa y ordenamiento de sus funciones. Sus principales ventajas asientan en la reducción de la carga horaria y regulación de la jubilación.
