Precision farming is an integrated plant nutrient management system attempt to deliver the inputs actual crop needs without disturbing the entire farming area. The fertilizers in liquid state will be delivered through laterals directly to the root zone at high concentrations. Soil microorganisms are potential resources for soil productivity and sustainability, intended to be influenced by various anthropogenic-and farming activities. Hence in present study, we have investigated that the effect of different dose of liquid fertilizers on changes in soil microbial populations and enzyme activities of maize in comparison with conventional practice of fertilization. The results clearly revealed that all the fertilization reduced the microbial population and enzyme activities of maize rhizosphere and among the fertigations, 75 per cent of recommended NPK in the form of liquid fertilizer had a less reduction in the population of Azospirillum, P solubilising bacteria and total diazotrophs, soil respiration and enzyme activities. Hence it is evident from the study that the use of more organic manures and microbial inoculants along with inorganic chemicals fertilizers, as integrated approach is needed for precision farming.

Onion seeds were treated with water (hydropriming), sand (80% WHC) (Solid matrix priming), salts of KNO3 and NaCl at 3% (halopriming) for 12 h and 24 h and PEG (-0.25 MPa) for 8h and 12 h (osmopriming). Seeds grouped into two lots and dried to 7% and 8% MC were packed in Aluminium foil pouch and cloth bag respectively and stored for four months under ambient conditions (33°C and 57% RH). Results of the storage experiment revealed that all the eight priming treatments imposed upon onion seeds increased the speed of germination, germination percentage, seedling length, protein content and enzyme activity but lowered the electrical conductivity of seeds when compared to control. Among the treatments, seeds hydro primed with 80% sand for 24 h bestowed supremacy over the rest of the treatments throughout the period of storage in both containers. Between the containers, seeds stored in Aluminium foil pouch recorded significantly improved percentage of radicle protrusion and germination throughout the period of storage.

Hepatitis C virus co-infection (HCV) with HIV is regarded as a significant public health risk despite being less frequent than hepatitis B co-infection with HIV. This observation results from HIV's impact on the HCV life cycle and, ultimately, the hepatic system. In this study, potential HCV co-infection was examined in connection to the socio-demographic characteristics of HIV-positive patients attending an HIV clinic at a University Teaching Hospital in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Between September 2021 and June 2022, 255 HIV patients who consented to participate in the study had their HCV levels checked using the anti-HCV antibody ELISA kit (DIA.PRO, Italy). Using the Partec CyFlow, CD4 counts were calculated. During routine investigations, blood samples (approximately 5ml) were aseptically collected into sterile EDTA vials, and plasma samples were obtained by centrifugation. With the aid of Abbott Real-Time HIV-1 Assay US methodology, plasma viral loads (PVL) were also calculated. A total of 11 (4.3%) HIV-positive people were also confirmed to have HCV infection, with women making up the majority (4.8%). Most of those affected were between the ages of 31 and 40 (6.8%). With marital status, HCV co-infection was found more amongst married patients, with a rate of 4.8%. The prevalence of HIV/HCV co-infection was higher (4.8%) in those with CD4 cell counts under >350 cells per ml than others. Most patients (3.1%) did not have their viral RNA detected (TND). Self-employed infected persons and those with secondary school educational backgrounds had the highest HIV/HCV prevalence rate of 6.6% and 7.6%, respectively. The study's findings show no statistically significant relationships between the patients' socio-demographic traits and HCV. Also, HCV co-infection prevalence was significantly low in the study participants.

Authors: Kelechi Kingsley Igbokwe  , James Eke  , Patrick Uche Okafor
Published: May 2023

This research was accomplished by employing already developed mathematical model of a 6DoF UAV in free space through the motion of the 6DoF aircraft (unmanned aerial vehicle) determined by coordinate systems which allow an aircraft’s position and orientation in space to be kept tracked. The discrete method of the model developed for simulation in Simulink was realized with a suitable transfer function. Then, an artificial neural network model predictive adaptive controller that can handle the nonlinearities associated with the UAV was developed based on state space technique and the model predictive controller (MPC) utilizes a neural network model to envisage future plant (aircraft) responses to potential control signals. The developed model predictive controller network was successfully trained offline using Feed-forward Back-propagation algorithm with speed and position as inputs since the underlying objective of this work is to improve the speed and position in order to advance the safety collision distance of the UAV because these parameters are mostly considered in the avoidance maneuver performance. Also, the results reveal that the speed of the generated UAV is approximately the input speed of 75MS–1 during the time the UAV is affecting maneuvering. Significance of the result is that the proposed algorithm is capable of generating collision-free trajectory for different waypoint cases.

Electrocoagulation is a method that can be used to remove pollutants and nutrients from liquid waste. This method has been found for a long time but has exclusively recently been developed for wastewater treatment after a lengthy process. Electrocoagulation can remove colloidal materials, i.e., suspended solids, metals, and other dissolved solids in wastewater. Several studies have shown that electrocoagulation has been successfully operated in various industrial wastewaters, i.e., bakery, chocolate, cork boiling, olive, biodiesel, Etc. This review uses the systematic review scale mini-review method. Literature was collected from various databases using Harzing's Publish or Perris Software and analyzed by Mendeley Software. The results indicate that the electrocoagulation method has received excellent attention for development, i.e., the effectiveness and energy that must be consumed, and that research is evolving to show the best performance of electrocoagulation.

Published: May 2023

The research entailed the isolation and antibiotic susceptibility analysis of retailed powdered milk from Orie Uga market in Aguata Anambra State. The increasing rate of morbidity and mortality from diarrhoea among the populace motivated the research. Samples of powdered milk were aseptically collected from six (6) different sellers in the market and analyzed using standard microbiological procedures. The pH of the samples were measured using a pH meter while their temperature were checked using a thermometer; serial dilution and growth on nutrient agar followed by Gram stain alongside biochemical tests were carried out; total viable counts were performed on all the samples which indicated that sample A harboured the lowest number of microbial count of 4.5.0x108cfu/g leaving sample C with the high number of counts- 7.5x108cfu/g precisely; susceptibility tests were done on all the samples with the use of three (3) antibiotics namely Ampicillin, Co-trimoxazole and Tetracycline. The results of the study indicated that the average pH of the samples was acidic while the average temperature was found to be normal. The isolated bacteria were majorly Staphylococcus species. The susceptibility tests revealed that the isolates were resistant to Ampicillin but sensitive to Co-trimoxazole and Tetracycline which then demands that the preferred drugs for treating any health complication resulting from the consumption of the sampled products were co-trimoxazole and tetracycline. This study is meant to enlighten all stakeholders in food security/consumption and health management.
Disability and sexuality: The sexual life of the person living with a disability, his affective life and his life as a couple
Authors: Carolle Laure MATENE FONGANG
Published: May 2023

Sexuality with a disabling disease, or serious disabling or disability: a sensitive subject probably due to the association of the two words: sexuality and disability. The question of the emotional life, the life of a couple, the sexuality of a person living with a disability remains a real social and cultural problem. This necessarily impacts on the people concerned because they are victims of their states of disability. This is a subject that is difficult to address both by the couple, by society and by health professionals. In addition, it should be noted that regardless of their physical or psychological state, their visible or invisible disability, their chronic, serious, rare, disabling or disabling illness, or simply their difference, everyone has their own sexual identity. The feeling of love, the affective life, the sexual life of a person with a disability, their life as a couple, pleasure, do not disappear with the onset of illness or disability, it is accessible to all, disabled, sick, in a couple or single, married or not, all have the right to sexuality, to an emotional life regardless of their physical appearance, their mental handicap or other differences... However, for many people in a situation of disability, living one's sexuality remains a difficult aspect in their life as a couple, or not, or in their daily lives. Disability, whatever its origin, can contribute to the alteration or changes in the sexual life of a lambda individual, thus affecting his sexuality, his sexual pleasure... Health professionals are often confronted with suffering, physical and/or psychological pain. However, even today the question of the fulfillment and sexual serenity of people with disabilities remains a silent subject, an unresolved issue, not popularized, not a priority if I can put it that way, but the question of pleasure sex is often overlooked. It would seem that social representations approach the subject of the affective relationship and the love life of sick or disabled people, their life as a couple, their intimacy as a couple, their affective and love life, as being abnormality in the face of what they consider "normal".

Published: May 2023

Background: Bleaching is the procedure of re-whitening teeth that have darkened to a shade near to their natural hue. Due to the unfavorable impact of chemical bleaching materials on enamel demineralization, the quest for natural bleaching solutions that have the same whitening effect while minimizing the negative consequences is encouraged. The punica granatum fruit is one of the natural components that can be employed. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the application of white pomegranate extract as an external bleach on the physical properties of the enamel surface of the tooth. Methods: thirty post-extraction bovine teeth were divided into treatment and control groups, then enamel surface hardness was measured using a Micro Vickers Hardness Tester, enamel surface roughness using a Surface Roughness test, and calcium levels using an EDS SEM tool before application of white pomegranate extract which is performed for 2 hours a day for two weeks. After two weeks, the enamel surface hardness, enamel surface roughness, and calcium levels were measured again. Results: The results of the treatment group using white pomegranate extract showed that there was no decrease in enamel surface hardness (p>0.05), a decrease in enamel roughness (p<0.05), and no decrease in calcium levels (p>0.05). The control group's results using 16% carbamide peroxide showed a decrease in the hardness and surface roughness of the enamel, but it did not decrease the calcium content. Conclusion: white pomegranate extract can be used as an external bleaching agent because of not reduce the surface hardness, reduce the surface roughness and not reduced the calsium of the enamel tooth

Regular exercise is associated to several health benefits. However, only 39% of adults with type 2 diabetes reach the recommended goals for physical activity. Adherence to exercise needs removing barriers to behavioural changes by setting realistic goals. To make the chan¬ge lasting, group is fundamental and automatic behaviours must be created. However, the extent of the problem clearly indicates that a patient-centred approach is not enough. National policies including programs to encourage regular exercise are needed, with intensive in-terventions and investments.
Water runoff of small rivers flowing into the Gulf of Ob’ and Taz Bay: current state of research

Published: May 2023

Fresh water supply is a basic need of the gas and oil industry of the Yamal-Gydan region. Small rivers flowing into the Ob’ and Taz Bay could be used for solving this problem. The purpose of the study is to summarise the available research data on the runoff of small rivers and to calculate the catchment areas using GIS technologies. The study covers more than 200 small rivers in the catchment area of the Ob’ and Taz Bay. It is established that there have been no stationary observations of the water runoff on them. Expedition observations of water discharges of small rivers are summarized. More than 40 small rivers are involved in water consumption. The runoff data from water users in the State Water Registry are questionable and need to be critically analyzed. Published annual runoff maps of the Yamal-Gydan region are presented in a unified form. Consolidation of the annual runoff maps showed an overall latitudinal distribution of the runoff isolines. The reliability of river runoff estimates from maps is largely determined by the accuracy of the catchment area calculations. GIS calculation of the river catchment areas has been done using two methods. Automated digitization by DEM has given incorrect results, which need to be verified. Manual digitization of catchments is labour-intensive, but gives reliable results for the lowland relief of the Yamal-Gydan region. For the first time, small rivers’ catchment areas obtained by GIS have been calculated. Difficulties arise in using the names of small rivers, which are different from one source to another. It is necessary to organize government monitoring on small rivers including obligatory measurements of water discharge, first of all on the Sabetta-Yakha, Se-Yakha and Messo-Yakha rivers, which provide fresh water to economic facilities. The modeling of runoff formation and the use of satellite image data are promising directions of runoff assessment.

Published: May 2023

The field of Russian philosophy is a particularly Russian philosophical school, whose main subject is to defend the Russian Emperor against criticism from within the country. The work of Russian philosophers was to convince Russian subjects of the fairness and rationality of the Emperor’s every decision. Revolutions notwithstanding, Russia’s political system has changed very little. The techniques of defending the Emperor from bourgeois and peasant discontent first developed in the 19 th century, and remain largely relevant to this day. By defending the Emperor, Russian philosophers participate in the day-to-day polemics in the media. They also multiply the images of correct, authority-approved behavior. They turn to particular argumentation to discourage an active civic stance, above all. They may be offering particular interpretations of Gospel parables, appeals to family values or to medieval, or imperial esthetics. For all of its mindfulness of the will of the Emperor, the ideology of Russian philosophers may help Russian citizens. It points to a strategy of existence aimed at avoiding conflict with the Emperor. In addition to providing protection, this strategy makes a moral case for loyalty. Russian philosophy elevates loyalty to the heights of religion, treats it as service to God, and thus hides its true political essence. The Russian philosopher is never fully aware of his role in Russia’s political system. This makes his ideas convincing, while also making his pronouncements more colourful and attractive.

This article outlines the peculiarities and general trends in the current relationship between the state and philosophy, particularly in the Ukrainian context of the “separation of philosophy and state.” In present circumstances, when universities are subordinated to a market-driven system, the field of humanities (including the philosophical disciplines) is gradually narrowing, when academic philosophy in Ukraine is marked by a somewhat transitive nature, and no clear state policy for supporting philosophy exists, the author attempts to find specifically philosophic ways of resolving the situation. The article re-centers the necessity of finding a possible conceptual platform from which philosophy may speak and produce concepts. It presents credible post-theological, post-historical, post-anthropological perspectives on philosophical messages intended to solve crucial problems of the contemporary model of reality as techno-sex-culture-management. The author posits the possibility of overcoming the usual opposition between the historical and the systematic philosophical tactics, disavowing the obsolete opposition between “people” and “authority” widespread in traditional philosophical political strategies, and ignoring the opposition of the national and international philosophical themes. The author outlines possible objectives to be formulated while taking into account the sum of philosophy’s extant historical experience, beyond its repetition in the planes of ontology and epistemology, the rethinking of which will allow us to turn the core problem of subject/object around.

This article looks at the possibilities and prospects for using a dialogue approach to conceptualizing and solving conflict situations in contemporary Ukrainian society, finding paths to reconciliation and understanding. It demonstrates that the internal mechanism and heuristic potential of dialogical communication are on par with the problems arising before society today, and as such can help their constructive resolution. The author marks certain conditions and peculiarities of introducing the basics of dialogue into the areas of political, cultural, and religious life most in need of it, as well as into inter-generational human relations. The article analyzes the value of peace as a concept and makes a case for its relevance in the context of developing dialogical culture and pointing contemporary human life in a positive direction.
“Disruptions” of Collective Memory: Aspects of Diagnosis and Treatment
Authors:   I.I. Mechnikov Odesa National University, Dovhopolova Oksana
Published: May 2023

Collective memory is not a monolithic body of knowledge and ideas; at times it splinters, shifts to parallel modes of existence, and is sometimes disrupted. Disruptions in collective memory create social tension, which is either overcome through special procedures of commemorative “reset,” or else pushed into a voiceless space. The phenomenological approach, particularly B. Waldenfels’ xenological concept, is useful in analyzing disruptions of collective memory. The metaphor of “wounding” in the context of encountering the Alien, and the analysis of “healing” the lived space through interpretation, which uses the tools of the same lived space, prove fruitful in studying commemorative disruptions. The analysis of “suturing” the commemorative disruptions of the 20 th century shows that the very existence of the disruption is made visible through the use of a new narrative, which allows for a new quality of social solidarity. The collective memory of contemporary Ukraine has several lines of disruption, but we can suppose that some of these are not comprehended in society, due to the lack of an appropriate narrative. One example of such a disruption is the collective memory of displaced persons. This disruption finds its reflection in artistic projects, which strive to stress the idea that the creation of a common commemorative space for displaced persons may provoke civic solidarity, which will then help to preclude further social conflicts.

Online learning that has been carried out so far cannot be separated from problems such as unstable internet networks, which result in less than optimal teaching and learning processes. In addition, there is still very limited research that examines online interactions so it needs to be carried out considering that the learning system will not necessarily be carried out normally with a face-to-face process in the classroom.  The purpose of this research was to determine the interaction that occurred in the online class of STKIP Muhammadiyan Sungai Full students. The method used by researchers in this study is the mixed method (Mix Method). The sample used in this study was mathematics education students. Sampling is carried out by purposive sampling.  The analysis was carried out with stages: making transcripts of teaching and learning processes, coding, classifying online class interaction patterns, model interaction characteristics FIAC (Flander Interaction Analysis Code) and model BIAS (Brown Interaction Analysis System).
