Published: January 2019

This study was aimed at drawing up an inventory of the post-harvest pathogenic fungi of banana dessert and to assess their susceptibility to Azoxystrobin. A sampling was carried out in banana fruit processing factories of the main Ivorian zones of banana production (Niéky, AboissoAyamé-Akressi and Tiassalé). The identification and frequency of isolation of the fungal species associated with the affected parts of the fruit was based on their cultural aspects, reproductive structures and percentage of contamination. The susceptibility of post-harvest fungi to different doses of Azoxystrobin 3.5, 4 and 4.5 g/hl was compared to a reference product, Bitertanol at a dose of 2 g/hl and to a check where only water is applied. Of the 13 pathogenic fungal species isolated, Botryodiplodia theobromae was the most recurrent and was identified as the main causal agent of postharvest rots. It is followed by Colletotrichum musae, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium moniliforme, Geotrichum candidum, Fusarium semitectum and Aspergillus flavus, in which the isolation frequencies are significantly different. The results on the susceptibility of pathogenic fungi to Azoxystrobin show that the three doses of Azoxystrobin have significantly different effects from that of the reference product and the check. They reduce infection rates up to 91.67% and give a high proportion of marketable fruits, respectively. Surprisingly, the dose of the reference product gives a low rate of reduction of infections (49%) and a proportion of marketable fruit that is significantly identical to that of water treatment.

Pesticides are widely used to reduce crop losses due to pests. This study (an initial part of a project on risk assessment and biomonitoring) deals with pesticide use patterns in the South-West, Cameroon. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was done using questionnaires randomly administered to 137 respondents. Twenty-one crops were recorded in the area with a total of 107 pesticides (60 active ingredients) used. Three illegally used pesticides were recorded (lindane, dimethoate and malathion). Application of pesticides in combination was quite common (42.3%). Pesticide application was mainly manual using a sprayer (96.4%) with 54% of users experiencing health problems post-application. Because of the lack of funding and training, 19.7% sprayed pesticides without protection. For the Restricted Entry Interval (REI), 43.1% entered the field in less than 12h after pesticide application. The correlation between the REI and the number of symptoms was negative and non-significant (R=-0.07, p≥0.05). The main place to store pesticides was the house (57.7%) with the exception of CDC where pesticides were kept in a pesticide store. Some respondents (54.7%) said they hadn’t received any training on pesticide application while 20.4 % of respondents failed to follow recommended doses. Surface water around farms was used by 62.1% of pesticides users for domestic purposes. Some farmers (46.7%) have once heard about pesticide related accident while 14.6% suffered from pesticide intoxication, the prevalence being significantly higher in males (p<0.05). Therefore, there is a need to regulate the pesticides sector, assess ecological risk and the bioaccumulation potential of these pesticides as well as their ability to hindrance water quality and biota.

The difficulty of water supply is a major problem faced by the households of Brazzaville in Congo. The objective of this study is to list and identify the different types of water used, and to assess the general hygiene of households. The method used in this prospective study is based on an onsite survey and direct measurement. The survey involves administering a questionnaire to the households in the 9 districts of the city of Brazzaville. 630 households were surveyed. 70 households were drawn in this study and were selected in each borough. There are many sources of water. Overall, 80.16% of households consume water from the SNDE. The survey revealed that 71.00% of households walk on foot to get access to water supply. Plastic cans and buckets are used more in the transportation (43.00 and 37.00 %) and storage (45.00 and 39.00 %) of water. The water storage period is relatively long. It can hold water from 3 days (21.00%) to more than one week (13.00 %) for some households. Analysis of the results of the survey showed that the sources of water supply are diversified. This diversification is due to the phenomenon of shortage and/or repeated water cut recorded by households. Water supply, transport and storage practices, and the cleaning of water containers highlight the precarious conditions of hygiene and sanitation households in the city of Brazzaville

Forest protection and conservation in Ivory Coast and its ressources were always been in political concern. That is why since its independance, Ivory Coast created an important network of protected areas in order to preserve its forest cover and its biodiversity. In spite of these efforts of forest conceptualization, the situation remains in crisis. Indeed the share of the National parks and Reserves undergo deep changes related to the anthropic pressures. Created in 1953 and located in the heart of the economic capital of the Ivory Coast, the National Park value does not escape such a situation. Indeed, the activities undertaken by populations living around this park and the fast urbanisation of the town of Abidjan represent an obstacle to the survival of the park. To suppress this situation, political measurements are installed for better managment of this park. This study aims to analyze the threats related to urban pressure on this park.

Published: January 2019

Benzofurane and naphthofuranethiosemicarbazone ligands 2a (L1 )and 2b(L2) and their Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Pd(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, NMR, and electronic spectral studies. IR spectra show that the ligands is coordinated to the metal ions in a didentate manner with N,S doner sites. In the presence of tow thiosemicarbazones ligands 2a(L1) and 2b(L2), the corrosion resistance of cast iron in 10.M H2SO4 increases in the order, 2b(L2) >2a(L1). The effect of studied ligands inhibits the corrosion of cast iron extent depending on the structure and high donation of π-electron present inhibitor. Co(II) and Pd (II) complexes possess higher antimicrobial activity than free ligands and other complexes. The [L1Pd Cl2]H2O complexe shows higher IC50 value of 4.6 µg/ml toward human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7). For other complexes, they are in the range of 2.7– 4.3 µg/ml toward the former cells which is related to their metal complexing ability in enzymes.

Published: January 2019

In this paper, our objective is to assess and compare the effects of three levels of irrigation application on the ecophysiological behavior and plant dry matter accumulation of two young olive tree cultivars Koroneiki, a promising greek cultivar, and Chemlali, the best local cultivar. According to this assessment, we can determine the most efficient water treatment that could be suitable for Mediterranean environments subjected to water shortage conditions. Measurements were made in the green house of the Tunisian Olive tree Institute under normal day-light conditions from March, 16th to April, 21st 2015. Three water treatments were applied which are T100% (control treatment: Daily irrigation at 100% of Available Water Content (AWC)), T50% (Daily irrigation at 50% of AWC) and T0% (Without watering). The results showed that the two olive tree cultivars possess important mechanisms to overtake limited water resources. However, some striking variations existed between the two cultivars studied. Indeed, as water stress increased (T0%), Chemlali maintained longer a high midday leaf water potential compared (- 4.54 MPa) to Koroneiki (- 5.8 MPa). T50% treatment seems to be sufficient for both cultivars. Measurements of total Osmotic Adjustment (OA) showed that olive trees use this mechanism to create very negative leaf water potentials in order to be able to extract water from a dry root environment. The root/shoot ratio of Chemlali plants at T50% treatment was the highest (1.08) comparatively with the other two treatments (0.70 and 0.79 for T100% and T0% AWC water treatments, respectively). This result shows that Chemlali plants valorize low quantities of water (T50%) rather than high quantities (T100%) and Koroneiki plants behave better when it is irrigated at 100% AWC. To conclude, Chemlali plants irrigated at 50% AWC, compared to Koroneiki plants, are the most suitable to tolerate water restriction conditions.

Authors: Al-shamasneh Alaá Rateb Mahmoud , Binti Obaidellah Unaizah Hanum
Published: January 2019

Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although cancer includes different types of diseases, they all start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Without treatment, cancer can cause serious health problems and even loss of life. Early detection of cancer may reduce mortality and morbidity. This paper presents a review of the detection methods for lung, breast, and brain cancers. These methods used for diagnosis include artificial intelligence techniques, such as support vector machine neural network, artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, with medical imaging like X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography scan images. Imaging techniques are the most important approach for precise diagnosis of human cancer. We investigated all these techniques to identify a method that can provide superior accuracy and determine the best medical images for use in each type of cancer.
Gravitational Time Dilation Derived from Special Relativity and Newtonian Gravitational Potential
Authors: Austin Rickey W.
Published: January 2019

Einstein was known for often presenting "gedanken" or thought experiments (Miller, 1999). This paper is such an exercise. Time dilation in Special Relativity is based on the derived value of γ (a scalar value) (Einstein, 1905). γ will be calculated as a function of relativistic kinetic energy, allowing time dilation to become a function of relativistic kinetic energy. With the new methodology constructed, a "gedanken” experiment is considered. Can a time dilation function be derived, using Newtonian gravitational potential energy in the same manor kinetic energy was used in Special Relativity? This paper carries out the derivation and compares the results with General Relativity's Schwarzschild solution. The what if thought experiment provides a first order accuracy to GR's Schwarzschild solution.

In southern Benin, medicinal plants are used for the health care of children aged 0 to 12 years. The present study aims to highlight some medicinal plants used in southern Benin to treat childhood diseases including malaria, candidiasis, teething disorders, infant colic and diarrhea. The phytochemical screening of the leafy stems of the selected plants revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins (gallic and catechic), coumarins, anthocyanins and leuco-anthocyans, quinone derivatives, triterpenoids, steroids, saponosides and reducing sugars. These various metabolites possess various therapeutic properties involved in the treatment of the indicated disorders. This would confirm the therapeutic uses reported by the populations surveyed. However, the evaluation of antimalarial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities as well as the toxicity test of the aqueous extract of these plants would be necessary.

Rethinking Brasília's water services: ‘new targets’ using the regulatory impact assessment (RIA) tool
Authors: de Carvalho Bruno Eustaquio , Marques Rui Cunha , Netto Oscar Cordeiro
Published: January 2019

This paper suggests a regulatory impact assessment (RIA) to evaluate the potential effects of ‘Resolution law no. 08/2016’ in the Brasília water sector under different perspectives: customers, regulators and local providers. Currently, political/rational and expert/politician terms are not considered integrated parts of the decision process, which could create a non-desirable impact on utility services. Thus, by using the RIA policy tool, regulators would be able to develop a basis for making good decisions rooted in evidence. From that point of view, RIA was set in order to provide the necessary framework capable of considering the multiple dimensions of Resolution law no. 08/2016 (quality of services, safeguarding infrastructural and economic aspects, environmental sustainability and governance) for water services. The multicriteria decision analysis combined with participatory methods were used to support RIA and overcome possible bias from judgments along the process. As a result, the current policy option defined by the regulator did not meet the stakeholders' expectation. Finally, the proposed method can be considered as a useful regulatory tool, which supports effective outcomes with legitimacy.

Authors: Al-Mefleh Naji K. , AlAyyash Saad M. , Bani Khaled Fatima A.
Published: January 2019

This study aims to investigate existing water management problems and potential solutions in the Al-Mafraq Governorate of Jordan, and to examine public awareness of water demand management at the household level. A questionnaire survey captured residents' perceptions of water quantity and quality. Results showed that 71% of respondents find the water pumped from the public system to be insufficient, and 40.9% find that water laws and regulations are implemented ineffectively. The study also showed that 85% of respondents are dependent upon groundwater wells, and 42.5% of respondents have suffered water contamination. Water quality is degraded due to pollution caused by solid waste and liquids, and salinity is increased due to the over-pumping and depletion of groundwater resources. The study recommends that the government incentivize residents to harvest water to deal with water shortages, religious motivations be explored in water conservation efforts, and water authorities should repair or replace old pipelines.
Optimal operation of reservoir systems using the Wolf Search Algorithm (WSA)
Authors: Ahmadebrahimpour Edris
Published: January 2019

Optimizing hydropower plants is complex due to nonlinearity, complexity, and multidimensionality. This study introduces and evaluates the performance of the Wolf Search Algorithm (WSA) for optimizing the operation of a four-reservoir system and a single hydropower system in Iran. Results indicate WSA could reach 99.95 and 99.91 percent of the global optimum for the four-reservoir system and single reservoir system, respectively. Comparing the results of WSA with a genetic algorithm (GA) also indicates WSA's supremacy over GA. Thus, due to its simple structure and high capability, WSA is recommended for use in other water resources management problems.

Published: January 2019

Objetivo: Analisar a percepção dos clientes de uma prestadora de serviços contábeis em relação às obrigações acessórias e trabalhistas envolvendo a admissão de funcionários, folha de pagamento e rescisão de contrato de trabalho.

Metodologia: Realizou-se levantamento com aplicação de questionário envolvendo 144 administradores de diferentes ramos de atividades da região do Alto Vale do Itajaí/SC. A pesquisa, de caráter descritiva, foi analisada quantitativamente com a utilização da técnica de Consenso que obtém a percepção dos respondentes.

Resultados: Os gestores estão atentos a legislação trabalhista, atestam orientar seus colaboradores ao que é correto e consideram essas documentações relevantes para evitar indenizações. Quanto as obrigações acessórias os resultados demonstram que os gestores possuem um nível moderado de concordância, talvez, pelo fato de muitas obrigações e declarações serem encaminhadas ao fisco diretamente pela contabilidade. Quanto a percepção em relação as obrigações trabalhistas e acessórias não podem ser consideradas em sua totalidade, pois em algumas situações os administradores seguem a legislação para se resguardar de ações trabalhistas. Quanto a folha de pagamento, estes se mantêm informados perante as obrigações a serem cumpridas, além disso, demonstram atenção em manter o funcionário motivado para desempenhar com eficácia suas atividades. Quanto a rescisão contratual, constatou-se que os gestores na maioria dos casos, por mais que não concordem totalmente com a legislação, seguem as normas estabelecidas pois sabem que é o correto e também para evitar penalizações provenientes de inadimplência.

Contribuições do Estudo: A pesquisa contribui para uma reflexão por parte das classes empresariais no que tange ao nível de conhecimento destes na esfera trabalhista e consequentemente se a importância que estão dando a ela é suficiente. Assim, o estudo instigará a classe empresarial a refletir sobre as áreas da organização, mais especificamente a trabalhista, e possibilitar melhorias nos procedimentos que envolvem a gestão organizacional.

Published: January 2019

Objetivo: A pesquisa objetivou verificar a influência da complexidade organizacional na mensuração dos ativos biológicos das companhias abertas listadas na B3.

 

Metodologia: Para tal, realizou-se pesquisa descritiva, documental e quantitativa, com dados obtidos por meio da base de dados Economática e também no sítio eletrônico da B3. A amostra foi constituída por um conjunto de companhias abertas que evidenciaram ativos biológicos de curto ou longo prazo no balanço patrimonial.

 

Resultados: Os resultados evidenciam que há influência da complexidade organizacional para a mensuração dos ativos biológicos. O modelo de regressão múltipla, explica que 54%, das variações nos registros de mensuração dos ativos biológicos totais das empresas, podem ser explicados através da variável Log_ At total de acordo com o modelo preditivo: (Y= 0,654Xi + 0,281xi - 0,115xi + ei). Verificou se, ainda que quanto a forma de mensuração dos ativos biológicos as empresas da amostra revelaram que 72% realizam a valoração destes com base nos critérios do fluxo de caixa descontado.

 

Contribuições do Estudo: Considerando o caráter normativo do CPC 29 e seus impactos provocados nos critérios de avaliações dos ativos biológicos e dos produtos agrícolas, a pesquisa produziu um modelo preditivo capaz de explicar e esclarecer que os aspectos da complexidade organizacional, exercem influência na forma de classificação do critério de mensuração dos ativos biológicos totais podendo este modelo ser muito útil para produzir informações para tomada de decisão  sobre os aspectos investigados, além de oferecer uma contribuição adicional teórica para o avanço de estudos relacionados a identificação da complexidade organizacional e dos critérios de mensuração  dos ativos biológicos.

Published: January 2019

Objetivo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo explicar os motivos da adoção do regime de competência para o reconhecimento de subvenções do governo pelos hospitais filantrópicos, além de evidenciar os fatores relacionados a escolhas contábeis e gerenciamento de resultados para essas instituições.

Metodologia: Para alcançar o objetivo, foi adotada uma metodologia quali-quantitativa, com triangulação dos dados na utilização da opinião dos autores e aplicação de entrevistas e questionários a gestores e analistas de crédito do mercado, além de análise estatística da evolução dos indicadores entre 2012 e 2015 do próprio hospital com aplicação do teste de médias. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevistas e questionários, com auxílio do Google Docs e ainda houve visitas pessoais dos pesquisadores à entidade.

Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que os gestores demonstram preocupação com a qualidade da informação contábil gerada. Em termos de relevância e fidedignidade, foi possível visualizar, através dos resultados dos testes de médias, que a contabilização de subvenções governamentais mediante regime de competência implica em indicadores patrimoniais distintos daqueles gerados com a contabilização por regime de caixa.

Contribuições do estudo: O estudo contribuiu para ressaltar que as escolhas contábeis, na forma de reconhecimento das subvenções governamentais, são determinantes nos elementos patrimoniais e de resultado da entidade, demonstrando sua relevância no processo de tomada de decisão.
