Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship in Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: M. Shukrah , U. Abba,
Published: August 2019

Biotechnology entrepreneurship is now associated with a sustained flow of innovations and tools, offering dramatic improvements in human health and a compelling value proposition for health care and agricultural consumers as a result of entrepreneurial orientation being applied. Biotechnology entrepreneurship in developed and developing nations like that of Japan, China, India and that of Nigeria and even some Asian countries is relatively new and distinct field of entrepreneurial endeavors. Most current empirical researches are conducted in the developed economies and cannot be directly extrapolated to the developing economies. This research used a qualitative research method. The data collection methods were interviews, documents review and observations, which improved the quality of the research through data triangulation. In addition, some factors that influence the process of biotechnology entrepreneurship in developed and developing countries were identified as regulation, funding, infrastructure, skills, entrepreneurial and commercialization capabilities, etc. Biotechnology entrepreneurship in developed countries predominantly uses the “system approach” and the “individual approach” in developing nations. The process of biotechnology entrepreneurship in developed countries differs from the process in developing nations due to the differences in the environmental factors that influence biotechnology entrepreneurship, and management strategies, in these economies.

In the countries from central Europe we can find corruption not only on high level but also in low level called "less serious corruption". However, this corruption is spread in all parts of the society. It causes that almost all citizens of these regions have already had experiences with concrete and not official, but essential payments in diverse fields, for instances: in health services, educational system etc. Next problem is that the fight against corruption is very difficult because many employees of police, justice and plaintiff who would have to take the responsibility of corruption are often people who are the most influenced by it. Considering the weight of this circumstances we can say about necessity of restructualization in the state for the purpose of more effective fight against the corruption.

Authors: Rady Mostafa M.
Published: August 2019

In agriculture sector, soil salinity is one of the major problems that limit plant performance, particularly in arid and semiarid regions, including Egypt. The effect of potassium humate (KH) and casuarina biochar (Bch), applied singly or in integration, on plant performance, physio-biochemical attributes and antioxidant, and contents of contaminants of Solanum melongena plants grown under salt stress (EC = 6.96 – 7.08 dS m?1 ) was investigated. Results showed that, soil treatment with KH significantly improved plant growth and productivity, physio-biochemical attributes, and contents of K+ , osmoprotectants and antioxidants (soluble sugars, proline and ascorbic acid), and significantly lowered plant contents of contaminants (NO3 ? , NO2 ? and Cd2+) and Na+ ion compared to the untreated controls. The same results trend was obtained with soil treatment with Bch. Integrative application of KH + Bch was most effective compared to the single KH or Bch treatment. The above results recommended benefits of the integrative treatment KH+TOC to soil for the possibility of sustainable agronomic performance of eggplant grown on saline soils.

Published: August 2019

Culture is the behavioural traits of a group. Education can be the way those traits are passed on to members of the group who are not sufficiently aware of those traits. Education may also be a way a method of passing on paradigms that allow for the group's greater efficiency. Culture is just habits and practices of people in essence. Culture can be seen as cultivated, but not necessareliy. Education is of course good, but also not necessarily (bad education). It goes to far to say millenia/centuries old tribes in the amazone have no culture, while they have no education in our notion of the word. They might have other forms of education that helps them survive.

In commercial models and premium vehicles the damping is varied by sensing the road conditions, driver’s action etc. using ECU’s and damping properties are varied every second. This advanced technology is very costly and complicated for middle class consumers who also need some comfort with low cost. The main issue here is to vary the damping of hydraulic shock absorbers according to the shock to which it is subjected. Thus by sensing the speed of the shock absorber and changing the vibration absorbing capacity of the damper with respect to it will surely be useful. In this project we used a spring valve to sense the speed of the Shock absorber and controlling the valve which is fitted inside the damper. By Variable damping pneumatic shock absorber we can get enough comfort with a simple and cost efficient setup.

An extreme value analysis of rainfall for Thanjavur town in Tamil Nadu was carried out using 70 years of daily rainfall data. Moving average method is a simple method to understand rainfall trend of the selected station. The analysis has been carried out for monthly, seasonal and annual rainfalls. No other graphical methods such as Ordinate graph, Bar diagram, Chronological chart will describe about the trend or cyclic pattern. By smoothening out the extreme variations and indicating the trend or cyclic pattern is known as moving average curve. Through this moving average curve, it is possible to understand the trend which can be used in the future years. From the results of annual wise rainfall analysis, based on 3-year, 5-year, 10-year moving average, it is found that there is no persistent regular cycle is visible and where as in 30-year, 40-year, 50-year moving average a horizontal linear trend has been observed. In Winter season, Summer season, North-East monsoon, South- West monsoon wise rainfall analysis, for 3-year, 5-year, 10-year moving average denote no apparent trend or cyclicity where as in 30-year, 40-year, 50- year moving average a horizontal linear cycle has been noticed. It is clear from the study that there is no large variation of rainfall that had been occurred in the Thanjavur city based on selected years of analysis.

In this paper, a novel chaotic encryption-based blind digital video watermarking technique (DVWT) is presented for grayscale and color images. This method makes use of Discrete Cosine transform (DCT) prior to embed the watermark in the hosting video. The hosting video is split into frames of 8*8 nonoverlapping blocks before employing DCT, and watermark bit is implanted by altering the variations among the nearby DCT coefficients of neighboring blocks. Arnold transform is applied for chaotic encryption to offer extra security to the watermark. A set of three versions of the proposed model has been applied and the results are investigated. The experimental outcome confirms that the DCT-VWT is efficient on different image processing functions such as JPEG compression, sharpening, cropping, and median filtering. The comparative analysis ensures that the presented DCT for digital video watermarking technique (DCT-DVWT) is efficient under subjective as well as objective way.

Utility Mining is the progression of identifying High Utility Itemsets (HUI’s) from enormous transaction data. Utility mining plays a decisive role in the inspection of the data or giving actionable information to help managers, sales executives, and other commercial end-users to generate versed business decisions. In the hypermarkets, the showcase period of every item in display will vary such as new products, seasonal products, and so on. Itemsets with time period are not retrieved by existing utility mining algorithms. Hence, On-Shelf Utility Mining algorithms were proposed to discover HUI’s and a general on-shelf period of all items in temporal databases is considered. Research work aims to propose an algorithm called LOSUM (List On-Shelf Utility Mining) to retrieve on-shelf HUI’s from a temporal transaction database by reducing the data stores scan. The algorithm is enhanced by implementing a list structure to store utility information of every itemset. The candidate itemsets are generated from the list itself. This reduces the supplementary scan of a database. The LOSUM is compared with FOSHU using Chess, Accident, Kosarak, and Mushroom datasets. The experimental results illustrate that the LOSUM is efficient than the existing algorithm FOSHU (Fast On-Shelf High Utility itemset mining) algorithm.

Communication is one of the basic requirements for living in the world. Deaf and dumb people convey through Sign Language but normal people have difficulty to understand their language. In order to provide a source of medium between normal and differently abled people, Sign Language Recognition System (SLR) is a solution . American Sign Language (ASL) has attracted many researchers’ attention but Indian Sign Language Recognition (ISLR) is significantly different from ASL due to different phonetic, grammar and hand movement. Designing a system for Indian Sign Language Recognition becomes a difficult task. ISLR system uses Indian Sign Language (ISL) dataset for recognition but suffers from problem of scaling, object orientation and lack of optimal feature set. In this paper to address these issues, Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) as a descriptor is used. It extracts the features that train the Feed Forward Back Propagation Neural Network (FFBPNN) and optimize it using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) according to the fitness function. The dataset has been collected for alphabet from the video by extracting frames and for numbers it has been created manually from deaf and dumb students of NGO “Sarthak”. It has been shown through simulation results that there has been significant improvement in accurately identifying alphabets and numbers with an average accuracy of 99.43%.

Los trabajadores de la ingeniería civil habitualmente están expuestos a muchos riesgos que pueden afectar su salud y la percepción de éstos no ha sido de interés para la seguridad y salud en el trabajo.  El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal analizar la percepción del riesgo laboral por parte de los trabajadores (operarios) de una empresa que realiza obras de construcciones civiles. Se planteó un estudio descriptivo transversal. El instrumento de medida es el modelo paradigma psicométrico, de esta manera se realizaron cuestionarios autoadministrados a operarios de la construcción, conservando el anonimato de los sujetos. El cuestionario constaba de nueve preguntas de dimensiones distintas acerca de la percepción de un factor de riesgo, también se añadió una pregunta sobre el nivel de educación del sujeto. El análisis de la percepción proporcionó respuestas favorables para este estudio, donde se creó la representación del perfil característico del riesgo percibido y por último se obtuvo diferencias significativas entre la percepción del riesgo con el nivel de educación básico. Este análisis refleja un enfoque importante sobre el constructo del riesgo laboral.

The purpose of  community service program is to provide solutions as a concrete step in solving business problems. The object of community service is Pempek Embik, a micro-scale businesses managed by a husband and wife. The problem of Pempek Embik was the lack of business capital since entering the fasting of Ramadan 1439 H or the end of May 2018, where prices of raw materials to make pempek rise and not decline until now. Pempek Embik has stability sales and owners of business have never made a loan because fear, not being able to pay interest. PT. BPR (perseroda) has a product with name is a credit program without guarantees and without interest. This credit is program of the Mayor of Palembang city, Mr Harnojoyo, who is committed to maximizing the potential of SMEs. The procedure for proposing credits program were three stages,   first stage of completing business licenses and business recommendations from  Kelurahan, second phase of data verification and business surveys and the last stage was disbursing credit program in installments of IDR 250,000 each month without interest. Pempek Embik has five working days in a week or 20 working days in a month. Pempek Embik must save IDR 12,500 for each day. With consistent and working hard, this monthly installment will be easy to do.
Geospatial Distribution of Some Phosphorus and Potassium Forms as Influenced by Period of Irrigation in the Kano River and the Hadejia Valley Irrigation Schemes, Nigeria.

This study was carried out at Kano River Irrigation Project (KRIP) (latitudes 11º 36ʹ 0.05ʺ N to 11º 49ʹ 57.97ʺ N and longitudes 8º 28ʹ 17.02ʺ E to 8º 29ʹ 41.82ʺ E) and Hadejia Valley Irrigation Project (HVIP) (latitudes 12º 17ʹ 48.75ʺ N to 12º 24ʹ 58.28ʺ N and longitudes 9º 51ʹ 31.29ʺ E to 10º 2ʹ17.42ʺ E). The soils are largely deep, well-drained Calcic Luvisols. The aim was to assess the geospatial distribution of some plant-nutrition related forms of P and K. A total of 37 and 19 irrigation sectors were identified in KRIP and HVIP respectively. Google earth was used to tag 109 and 41 sampling points randomly within both developed and undeveloped sectors of KRIP and HVIP respectively. With the aid of projects’ sitemaps, the sectors were demarcated into six periods of irrigation: 0 years (Non -irrigated), 1-10 years, 10-19 years, 20-29 years, 30-39 years and ≥ 40 years as applicable. GPS was used to track the tagged points at the time of sampling. Sur- face soil samples were collected by augering to 30 cm depth with fabricated steel augers. Samples were analyzed for physical and chemical properties. Available (AP) and total (TP) forms of P as well as water-soluble (WSK), exchangeable (Ex. K) and non-exchangeable (NEK) forms of K were analyzed. Basic soil prop- erties were compared by ANOVA using JMP version 12. Geostatistical analysis and Geospatial variability of various forms of P and K were performed with the GS+ software (version 10). Ordinary Kriging was used for the spatial interpola- tion. Texturally, the soils of the KRIP was sandy loam while that of the HIVP was predominantly sandy clayey loam. The pH (mean = 6.68) and EC (mean = 0.21 dsm-1) values across the sites indicated that despite the years of irrigation the areas are not under immediate salinization risk. There was no specific pattern of distribution of basic cations in both the two schemes. There is an observable tendency in the distribution of the forms of P and K evaluated of their being at higher concentrations in longer-periods irrigated lands in both the scheme. The nugget to sill ratio revealed a strong spatial dependence (< 25 %) for WSK. Moderately spatial dependence (25 to 75 %) was observed for available P, total P, noN-exchangeable K and exchangeable potassium. It was concluded that there may be a stronger influence of the irrigation method on the spatial distribution of the forms of the nutrients over other factors such as parent material and weathering.
Effect of different Slums on Selected Soil Properties in Abakaliki Southeastern Nigeria
Authors: C. Njoku , G.C. Okoro
Published: August 2019

A study was conducted at Abakaliki to determine the effect of slums on soil physicochem- ical properties. Four replicate samples were collected from the four slum locations and control using auger and core for disturbed and undisturbed soil samples, respectively. The soil samples collected were taken to laboratory and analysed for bulk density, total porosi- ty, mean weight diameter, aggregate stability, dispersion ratio, pH, available phosphorus, total nitrogen, organic carbon, C/N ratio, total exchangeable bases, exchangeable acidity, effective cation exchange capacity, base saturation and heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Sn). The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) based on CRD and difference between treatment means were dictated using F-LSD. Except for dispersion ratio which is non-significant, all the parameters studied showed significant (p < 0.05) changes with respect to the different locations studied. The result showed lower improve- ment in soil physical and chemical properties in slums than control. On the other hand Cd, Cu, Pb, and Sn were higher in slums than control. Similarly, these heavy metals observed were higher than the usual range in soils. Thus, the study suggests that slum soils should not be used for crop production since they are associated with heavy metal pollutions and also lack the essential nutrients required by crop for performance
A importância da atuação podológica na prevenção e tratamento de infecções fúngicas em idosos

Published: August 2019

Segundo a Organização Pan-Americana de Saúde (OPAS), o envelhecimento é definido como um processo sequencial, individual, acumulativo, irreversível, universal, não patológico, de deterioração de um organismo maduro. Considerando o aumento progressivo da população idosa e todas as alterações funcionais envolvidas no processo do envelhecimento, destacam-se as alterações provenientes por declínio imunológico, como doenças por contaminações fúngicas, como onicomicose e Tinea pedis. Os fungos possuem características oportunistas e utilizam fatores como doenças sistêmicas, deficiência imunológica e uso de medicamentos, que são muito comuns aos idosos, e acabam por predispor a contaminação. As doenças causadas por fungos em idosos são frequentes e necessitam de tratamentos e orientações adequadas [6]. No entanto, observa-se a falta de orientação e cuidados básicos que são essenciais e atuam tanto na prevenção, quanto no tratamento dessas doenças. Segundo Pinto, 2018, [8], o podólogo possui um importante papel através dos serviços prestados pela podologia, demonstrando a importância dos cuidados básicos, associados a prática de higiene diária. Objetivo deste trabalho foi demonstrar que a correta orientação de higiene e cuidados com os pés podem auxiliar na prevenção de podopatias relacionadas a contaminação de fungos em idosos. Este estudo se caracterizou por uma revisão da literatura. Foi feita uma Pesquisa de Campo através de questionário, com aprovação do Comitê de Ética da Universidade Anhembi Morumbi.
