METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION AND VISUALIZATION OF MUNICIPAL WASTE DISPOSAL SITES USING AEROSPACE DATA
Authors: Dancheva Adlin
Published: January 2022

With the increase of temperatures in the summer, the danger of self-ignition of landfills for household waste increases, because of the biochemical processes that take place inside them. The most recent example is the municipal landfill for non-hazardous waste near the town of Dupnitsa. The self-ignition started on July 23, 2021 and continued to smolder for almost a week, which led to a great danger of burning the area around it or poisoning the population. It is believed that one of the main reasons is the great depth of the accumulated waste. There is an urgent need to do quality control of most of the landfills for municipal waste in our country. Some of them are located next to major river arteries or international roads. Non-compliance with the requirements for maintenance, management and operation hides a serious potential for an ecological catastrophe. It is essential that stricter measures are taken and that these landfills are monitored. The aim of the present work is to reveal the possibilities and potential of aerospace data and to show different methods for processing, interpretation, and visualization. They can easily identify, map, and survey a waste disposal site. Optical images of the multispectral instrument (MSI) of the Sentinel 2 platform and radar (SAR) data from the Sentinel 1 platform of the Copernicus program of the European Space Agency were used. Thermal bands from the Landsat 5 - 7 (ETM) and Landsat 8 (OLI/TIRS) sensors of the Landsat program were used to calculate the land surface temperature. Satellite images have been orthogonized, and composite images between optical and radar data have been created for better visualization.
Interaction of a conical carbon scaffold with the thio-substituted model of fluorouracil towards approaching the drug delivery purposes
Authors: Attar Kar Mohammad Hasan Kamel , Yousefi Mohammad
Published: January 2022

A representative FeN4-doped conical carbon (C) scaffold was investigated for participating in interactions with the thio-substituted fluorouracil (SFU) anticancer drug by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this regard, all possible relaxation configurations of SFU at the doped tip of C scaffold were examined, in which three models were obtained including one horizontal relaxation configuration (FC1) and two vertical relaxation configurations (FC2 and FC3). The results indicate the highest stability and strength for FC1 model. Examining formations and strengths of interactions showed two medium strength interactions in each of FC1, FC2, and FC3 models. Moreover, the evaluated electronic molecular orbitals features indicated availability of sensor function for the proposed C scaffold towards the interacting SFU substance. As a consequence, the models were determined to work in dual functions of sensor and carrier towards drug delivery purpose of SFU anticancer drug.
Literature and History: Study of Nigerian Indigenous Historical Novels
Authors: Adeyemi Lere
Published: January 2022

The assumption that history posits itself as a fact, while literature is to be taken as an artistic form, only for entertainment (i.e., the difference between truth and falsehood, reality and illusion) has long been debated by formalists and soclologlsts of literature. In Yoruba society, literature and history are im­portant in explaining the fullness of life and the world around us. It is against this background that this paper examines the relationship between literature and history and how Yoruba novelists use their works as vehicles for the repre­sentation of history. We adopt the theory of New Historicism to analyze T.A.A. Ladele's lgbi Aye n yi and Olu Owolabi's Ote Nibo. Some of the findings reveal that: both Yoruba literature and history are closely related, they are both based on Yoruba experience and Yoruba existence either in the past or present; while Ladele Interprets the history of the dignity and royal glamour of the Yoruba oba in the precolonial era as a form of domination which is often achieved through culturally-orchestrated consent rather than force; Owolabi represents the hlstory of party politics in Yoruba society as fraudulent, deceltful, full of bitterness and violence. The paper concludes that both novelists are subjective in their representation of Yoruba history, but they successfully establfsh the fact that the novel is a repository of history; however, such history is not a mere chronlcle of facts and events, but rather a complex description of human reality and a challenge to the preconceived notions of the societies from which they emerged.
The Political Economy of Village Level Theocracies in the Ìlàjẹ Coastline, Southwest Nigeria
Authors: Ololajulo Babajide
Published: January 2022

In 1947, a group of fishermen from the coastal area of Ìlàjẹ, Ondo State, Nigeria who were members of the Aládúrà, an independent Church movement in southwest of Nigeria, came together to establish a theocratic settlement, which they named Ayétòrò. A few years after, other theocratic settlements emerged in quick succession and by 1980 there were more than fifty such villages along the Ìlàjẹ coastline. The pertinent question is why this form of community organization is pervasive among the Ìlàjẹ. The main argument of this article, following ethnographic data collected from four theocratic settlements, which are regarded as the core village theocracies, is that a flexible land tenure regime and a loose traditional political system, among other factors of environmentand kinship structure, ensured easy access to land and served to authenticate the spiritual leadership claims of founders of theocratic settlements. The conclusion reflects on the future of theocratic settlements against the background of increasing modernization along the Ìlàjẹ coastline.
The Metaphysics of Justice: Ayelala’s Rise in Benin and Other Parts of Edo State
Authors: Igboin Benson Ohihon
Published: January 2022

This article discusses the origin, spread and efficacy of the deity Ayelala, who is responsible for the execution of justice. After an account of the deification of Ayelala, it discusses the recent spread of the deity, originally from the areas inhabited by the Ijaw, Ilaje, and Ikale, to Benin, where her presence has been highly effective in combating public crimes such as theft, robbery and kidnapping. Beyond the punishment and control of public crimes, a report of Ayelala’s revelations about the causes of a personal death also illustrates the deity’s ability to provide justice in personal matters. The article argues that doubts about Ayelala’s existence, as put forward by some critics, are illogical and indeed irrelevant as long as the deity is seen to produce results. Building on the arguments of the British anthropologist E. E. Evans-Pritchard, who suggests that witchcraft explains unfortunate events, this article argues that the experience of certain fortunate events, such as the punishment of evildoers or the revelation of metaphysical causes of death, confirm the existence of Ayelala as a counter-force to witchcraft and other forms of metaphysical evil.
On the Imperative of Language for Understanding African Art
Authors: Abiodun Rowland
Published: January 2022

I was deeply touched and honored by the roundtable organized at the 2016 African Studies Association Conference to focus on my book, Yoruba Art and Language: Seeking the African in African Art (2014). I want to thank Professor Funṣọ Afọlayan for contacting and bringing together a formidable group of scholars of Yorùbá art and culture to that end. I was gratified that, by and large, all the panelists endorsed my premise on the fundamental importance of language in Yorùbá art studies. The first paper by Moyọ Okediji was a pleasant surprise. Even though this possibility has always existed, as I had taught a course in Yorùbá art entirely in Yorùbá language at the University of Ifẹ (renamed Ọba ̀ ́fẹmi Awo ́ ́lọẃ ọ University) in ̀ the 1980s1 , no one was expecting that his entire contribution to the roundtable discussion would be presented in Yorùbá language. Why not? I realized. The language is as fully developed as any other language in the world and it can, and should be spoken as well as written -- especially when we discuss Yorùbá art. For the benefit of those not literate in Yorùba language, Michael Af ́ ọlayan gave an elegant translation of Okediji’s paper in English. The excellent contents and presentation by Okediji touched on issues that lay at the heart of my book, namely its methodology and its insistence on the need for a Yorùbá voice to be heard literally and metaphorically in art historical discourse.
Toyin Falola@65 Conference: African Knowledge and Alternative Futures
Authors: Adepoju Oluwatoyin Vincent
Published: January 2022

A defining moment for me at the Toyin Falola@65 Conference titled “African Knowledges and Alternative Futures” that ran from the 29th to the 31st of January 2018 at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, was the declaration at a paper presentation session by a scholar from a Nigerian university that the culture of making promotion of Nigerian academics dependent on publication in journals outside Nigeria, particularly from the West, is ultimately counterproductive to the development of a robust academic culture in Nigeria. “Do US or British academics, for example, have to publish in Nigerian journals?” he asked. This loaded question is at the heart of the challenges and paradoxes provoked by the conference. Another definitive encounter for me was another presenter’s outlining of the concept of an African, as different from an Asian or a Western epistemology or way of arriving at relating to knowledge. Yet another was Emmanuel Ofuasia’s explanation of what he describes as the Yoruba origin Ifa knowledge system’s anticipating of deconstructivist hermeneutics centuries before the development of this post-modern scholarly phenomenon in the West. Complementing these occurrences is yet another represented by Dr. Joan Ugo Mbagwu expounding on indigenous methods of conflict resolution and countering terrorism in Africa. I shall use these encounters as pivots in exploring the significance of the conference in the body of this essay.
Political Communication and the Nigerian Democratic Experiment: Critical Insights from Yorùbá Philosophy
Authors: Omotoso Sharon Adetutu
Published: January 2022

Nigeria’s political sphere is fraught with violence, electoral frauds, unfulfilled promises and negligence on the part of the ruling class, hence political communication in Nigeria have been faced with hostility from electorates spurred by public distrust of the mass media. This essay philosophically argues for a culture-bound understanding of political communication in a way that enables a strategic decolonization of communication concepts and ideologies. This cultural understanding advocates the need for the domestication of information prior to their application in a way that enable us to properly reflect on and engage with the existential complexities of Africa’s political landscapes. The central claim of the Yorùbá political communication is that local and national communicative principles in political discourses should be subsumed under epistemic, ontological, and ethical dimensions drawn from Yorùbá histories, cultures, and values. This essay therefore deploys Yorùbá philosophical insights underlying the creation, distribution, use and control of information as a political resource that could be adopted by governments, organizations, the media, and individuals in Nigeria.

Encyclopedia of the Yoruba is a single-volume encyclopedia that is comprised of 285 entries of short essays written by 188 authors who are predominantly scholars and academic researchers from Africa, Europe and North America. The different word-ranges of the essays vary from 1000 words (for 78 entries) to 750 words (for 88 entries) and 500 words (for 119 entries). Across these entries, the encyclopedia gives a complex, yet detailed, presentation of the Yorùbá, a dominant ethnic group in West Africa and the most prominent African cultural population, identity and presence in the African diaspora including North America, the Caribbean and South America. It presents the Yorùbá with respect to their involvements in, and interactions with, different sociocultural experiences, practices and expressions by “emphasizing the peculiarities, features, and commonalities of the people” (xi). Following an alphabetical ordering, each entry in the encyclopedia is complete on its own as it examines and discusses a subject, subject matter, concept or topic that shares an affiliation with the Yorùbá world in time (the traditional past in all its distant and intricate temporal dimensions and the modern present in all its complex interrelations) and/or space (Yoruba homes across West Africa and the African diaspora. Such concentrations of the entry include persons/personalities, demographics, worldviews and cosmological values and elements, and several material and non-material aspects of the Yorùbá culture and folklore, and their corresponding affiliates. It is important to add that the completeness of the entries is considerably informed by the suitability of the word-ranges used. It is commendable that 358 Ibrahim A. Odugbemi the editors are able to determine the word-range that fits the discourse of every entry and the authors are also able to conform. By writing across the various word-limits, the authors have been able to give adequate information about their subjects of discussion. Each word-limit is moderate enough to convey the basic information on the subject or topic of every entry.
Pa Fálétí, Another Icon Departs
Authors: Ọṣọfisan Femi
Published: January 2022

Pa Fálétí is gone, never more to answer our calls or supplications, except from the other side, in the surrogate voice of an ancestor. But we do not mourn him. Rather, the mourning is for ourselves, for those of us left behind. What we mourn indeed is not his passing, but the void that stares us in the face, the apprehension we feel that there is no immediate successor to replace him. But still, we have to accept this not as a defeat but a collective challenge. We do not indeed mourn the loss of Fálétí, because in Yorùbáland our custom is not to shed tears of grief for men or women who have lived a long and amply fecund life and left a bounteous legacy for their offspring. Why should one cry for a life that grew to sedate ripeness, mellowed in dignity, and is remembered everywhere with affection and respect? No. Instead, we celebrate such men joyously. We bring out the drums and sing our sonorous songs and adorn ourselves in our finest robes. We give ourselves generously to merriment and feasting and thanksgiving. We laud their achievements and serenade them as luminous inspiration to the living. Adébáyọ Fálétí has gone but ̀ not gone: his presence will surround us forever because of what he accomplished for our culture and our people.
On Wale Ogunyemi’s Translation of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart into Yoruba, Ìgbésí Ayé Okonkwo: A ‘within-to-within’ Approach of its Challenges
Authors: Ayoola Gabriel
Published: January 2022

This essay examines the proverbs, and other wise-sayings as used in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart vis-à-vis the Ogunyemi’s Yoruba translations of the novel, Ìgbésí Ayé Okonkwo. The within-to-within approach is the lens through which the text and its Yoruba translation are explored. The approach establishes some level of similarities in the cultures and nuances of both languages (Igbo and Yoruba) due to their mutual intelligibility. The work encourages more translation of African novels written originally in English, French, or Portuguese into African languages. Doing so preserves the languages and cultures, the sustainability which Akinwumi Isola (2010) refers to as Literary Ecosystem. That is a way of giving back to the society from which the author got inspired. Further, there exists the idea of language retrieval, a process of translation which Isola viewed goes into translation when the novels involved are lexico-semantical and culturally close to each other.
A Review of Isaac Oluwole Delano’s Pioneering Works on Yoruba Grammar, Orthography, Lexicography and Cultural Education.
Authors: Falola Toyin , Afolayan Michael Oladejo
Published: January 2022

Tis is a reproduction and an improved version of our opening chapter on Selected Works of Chief Isaac O. Delano on Yoruba Language. In it, we reintroduce the seminal works of the legendary writer and language educator, I. O. Delano. Many of these works have become obscure to the reading public due to an apparent lack of intentional publication. Delano, known for his prolific writings, wrote a few books relating to Yoruba language and grammar. Tis segment looks at four major non-fiction works of Chief Isaac O. Delano. For the most part, the segment deals with his efforts on Yoruba language, but to some extent, too, it looks at some additional non-language related writings often embedded in his works on language. For example, in Appendix I of his 1965 book, A Modern Yoruba Grammar, the author provides an array of proverbs and sayings in the language with their English equivalents. In Appendix II, Delano infused two old texts into the book, which comprise of a sermon and an essay on schooling. Clearly, Delano seems to have a penchant for dissemination of relevant cultural education in all his works. Indeed, one could say Yoruba Cultural education has always been apparently one of Delano’s passions as well as hidden agenda in writing his books, and he does so relentlessly. In what follows, we 216 Toyin Falola and Michael Oladejo Afolayan examine the four works in no particular order, although the Modern Grammar is given a relatively more detailed review and summarization. The four books are: A Modern Yoruba Grammar; Àgbékà Ọr̀ ọ̀ Yorùbá: Appropriate Words and Expressions in Yoruba; Conversation in Yoruba and English; and Atúmọ̀Èdè Yorùbá.
A History of The Six-Year Primary Project in the Use of Yoruba as the Medium of Primary Education
Authors: Falola Toyin , Afolayan Michael Oladejo
Published: January 2022

The Larger Context and Arguments on Mother Tongue and Education Many non-English speaking parents think that if their children only learn English, they will fare better in school. In the last half a century or so, researchers have noticed the problem faced especially by developing nations in their language-related educational policies.1 Some countries, like Burundi, for example, have adopted this mentality and made English the official national language, in hopes that encouraging English will stimulate the economy and improve the job prospects of youth.2 However, research consistently shows that focusing entirely on English or any “majority language” at the detriment of one’s native language actually does more harm than good. There are many 1 See works of Joshua Fishman, Language Problems of Developing Nations. New York: Wiley, 1968 and Joshua Fishman. Readings in the Sociology of Language. The Hague, Paris: Mouton, 1968. 2 Angelina Kioko, “Why Schools Should Teach Young Learners in Home Language,” British Council, January 16, 2015, https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/ why-schools-should-teach-young-learners-home-language. 238 Toyin Falola and Michael Oladejo Afolayan benefts of children’s maintaining their native language, which I summarize below and will expand upon throughout the essay: 3 1. One’s language is tied with one’s identity. Consequently, then, maintaining one’s native language means maintaining one’s identity. With this maintained identity, one feels a connection to one’s native culture and therefore has a positive self-concept. 2. Maintaining one’s language allows one to strengthen relationships with family and community members who perhaps do not speak English (or the majority language) or who prefer to speak in their native language. Tis allows for one to keep a reliable social network bound by a common tongue. 3. If a young child is forced to speak in English (or the majority language) when they prefer to speak in their mother tongue, they are also forced to operate at a lower intellectual age than they actually are. Tis can damage the child’s academic future. Therefore, it is best for the child to be encouraged to speak both languages and experience the benefits of bilingualism and a fully developing brain. 4. Similar to #3, children who are able to speak in their native language and English (or the majority language) experience higher academic achievement throughout their life.
The Pre-colonial Yoruba Education System: Catalyst Against Immorality
Authors: Ogunlola Layo
Published: January 2022

The notion that Africans in general have no literature of their own has been severally debunked as false assertion. Awólàlú (1979) describes it as ‘erroneous’, a thought borne out of prejudice, malice and bias (3). Among these is their method of training both the young and old in the ways and traditions of the people. The Yorùbá had a system of education referred to as ìlànà ètò è̩kó̩ ìbílè̩ (traditional or indigenous system of education). Even though the said system of education was not documented, it is not only flexible enough to conserve the tradition and culture of the people, it has also proved adequate in transmitting the cultural heritage from generation to generation using the mother-tongue as a tool. Tis paper examines the effectiveness of this traditional system of education in the development of the pre-colonial Yoruba society especially in terms of moral diligence. The paper critically analyzes the system and concludes that a society that is morally bankrupt cannot develop, hence the need for a system of education that emphasizes moral training such as the Yorùbá traditional system of education as compared with the Western system of education, which lays emphasis on jobs. The paper concludes that if the formal education system can prioritize moral training by tailoring the curriculum towards this objective, the problem of high moral decadence level currently ravaging our various societies may continue and this will not do the societies any good.

This paper tries to educate and generate awareness about cyber security in the non-technical human resource and try to make them understand the potential risks to their organization which can be caused because of not giving much attention to smaller details. This paper concentrates on those attacks which can be mitigated by any non-technical employee and which are easy to understand and give preventive measures for the same.
Predicting stroke risk by Migraine using AI
Authors: Anchal Singh  , Dr. Surabhi Thorat
Published: January 2022

Stroke is a blood clot or bleeds in the brain, which can make permanent damage that has an effect on mobility, cognition, sight or communication. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide and one of the most life- threatening diseases for persons above 65 years. It damages the brain like “heart attack” which damages the heart. Every 4 minutes someone dies of stroke, but up to 80% of stroke can be prevented if we can identify or predict the occurrence of stroke in its early stage. In this paper, I used different types of machine learning algorithms for stroke prediction on the Healthcare Dataset Stroke data. Four types of machine learning classification algorithms were applied; Linear Regression, Confusion matrices, Random Forest Classifier, and Logistic Regression were used to build the stroke prediction model. Support, Precision, Recall, and F1-score were used to calculate performance measures of machine learning models. The results showed that Random Forest Classifier has achieved the best accuracy at 94 % [1].
Finding out square root of an integer number using Single Electron Transistor
Authors: Dr. Anup Kumar Biswas
Published: January 2022

The single-electron transistor (SET) attracts the researchers, scientists or technologists to design and construct large scale circuits for the sake of the consumption of ultra-low power and its small size. All the incidences in a SET-based circuit happen when only a single electron tunnels through the transistors under the proper applied bias voltage and a small gate voltage or multiple gate voltages. The oscillatory conduction as the function of the variable-multiple /single gate voltage is exhibited by SET. This uncommon characteristic provides the ability of executing the functions of AND, OR, XOR, Inverter and some combinational circuits like multiplexer, subtractor etc. For implementing a square root circuit, SET would be a best candidate to fulfil the requirements. The processing speed of SET based devices will be nearly close to electronic speed. Noise during processing gets ultra-low when the circuits is built with SETs. The square root circuit is presented here for sixteen bit input numbers. The input bit numbers can be increased with the increasing of the depth of the pattern very easily. And this will provide us the greater accuracy about the squared root value. Power consumption in the single electron circuit is low irrespective of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. Reducing the numbers of nodes, the power consumption is reduced.

Further, different variant of EDM process like dry EDM, orbital EDM, powder mixed EDM, ultrasonic assisted EDM and rotary EDM etc. have also been studied. Rotary EDM process is very promising process that helps to improve surface finish, overcut as well as out of roundness. In the present paper, a extensive review has been presented on rotary EDM process. Significance of several input parameters has been observed on output characteristics like overcut and out of roundness.
Changing Design Cognition
Authors: Paolo Fiamma
Published: January 2022

Building Information Modeling methodology is the current interest for many didactic programs around the world. May be the Master program can be an opportunity to understand the whole BIM concept in the AEC industry. In the Master BIM in Pisa, Italy we are teaching an approach that is not only “tech”. In the Building Information Modeling methodology, the digital representation receives a new strategic task in the world of construction: reducing the gap between the “res aedificanda” and its simulation via object-oriented graphics. Developing research on this way means to offer new powerful opportunities to re-think the link between “the fact” and “its representation”. There is a strong link between graphics approach and cognitive paradigms in design architecture. If the Building Information Modeling could be an answer for the actual needs of the world of AEC, digital design in BIM becomes the way to think the whole project “as one”. In the BIM graphics environment, the digital drawing changes the sign in ontology. To sum up, we are moving beyond vision to "experience" the design before it is built: we design the constructive ontology according to our experience of the “fabrica”. Modeling the interaction means represent the process through the time.

Shaft design is still has the most significant effect in design of machine elements as shafts are common elements in aircraft engines, gear boxes and mechanisms. In this paper, a MATLAB code is established to obtain the optimum shaft design automatically. A friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to receive all design parameters such as; rotational speed, transmitted power, shaft material…etc. the proposed GUI also receives design parameters of shaft components such as pulleys and gears. Two case studies are introduced to illustrate the proposed shaft design tool to confirm its validity. All reaction forces, bending moment diagrams and torque diagrams are obtained using the proposed MATLAB code. These results are consistent with manual traditional design calculations.

Around 40% of agro-waste is generated globally every year most of which is not composted due to improper disposal methods, this increases the carbon footprints which in turn causes a great deal of harm to the environment. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the antimicrobial and phytochemical properties of extracts prepared of lemon peel (Citrus limon), onion peel (Allium cepa) and potato peels (Solanum tuberosum). The project was an attempt to increase sustainability and decrease waste generation by complete utilization of agro-products prior to disposal. The peels were collected from local restaurants and food joints to aid in reduced waste generation. The extracts were prepared using home-based methods; laboratory extraction using Soxhlet apparatus was carried out for lemon peel extract. For the antimicrobial analysis, four organisms were used, two of which were gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus) and two were gram negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida). S.aureus was isolated from a poultry source whereas E.coli was isolated from fish drain water. The lemon peel extracts showed a high degree of antimicrobial activity against all the test organisms, whereas the onion peel extracts positively retarded the growth of both the gram-positive test isolates and consecutively, potato peel extracts showed bactericidal effects against E.coli. The extracts were analyzed for presence of phytochemicals namely, tannins, phenols, saponins, flavonoids, vitamin C; promising results were obtained proving the importance and medicinal relevance of the extracts. To check for preservative attributes of the extracts, quantitative and qualitative examinations were conducted, wherein, efficacious results were noted for the lemon peel extracts, however, actions of onion peel extracts and a combination of extracts was culminated to be inconclusive due to excess coloration/ pigmentation. Lastly textile/ fabric dyes were yielded from the prepared extracts, and as observed, the color was retained by the cloth after addition of mordants.

With the increase in demand for art education and art culture, dance education at universities is being paid more and more attention. At present, in addition to colleges and universities majoring in dance, many comprehensive colleges and universities have quickly incorporated dance majors into their curricula, which has promoted the development of dance as a discipline, but also produced many problems. Zhaoqing University and Gyeongsang National University are two local comprehensive universities offering dance majors in China and South Korea. This paper compares the dance education and teaching levels of the two universities from the perspective of professional development history, discipline construction and education and teaching courses. It also analyzes existing problems, and proposes that we should continuously improve the training programs for dance students and encourage professional development of dance teachers, while encouraging the construction of hardware facilities and paying attention to the educational role of Folk Dance, so as to further improve the dance education and teaching quality of local comprehensive colleges and universities.
