Durian waste is the basic ingredient of making this briquette and just piling up into waste in the neighborhood where it sells and can not provide economic value. Now the material we used to call environmental waste will turn into alternative fuels. Through the process of processing, durian waste will be fuel in the form of briquettes and this product will have a fairly high selling value. The briquettes also smell good when used, making them suitable for the food industry, both large and large scale. Because of these several advantages, durian leather briquettes have wide open market potential in both local, domestic and export markets. The method implemented is to socialize the utilization of durian skin by spreading knowledge with the manufacture and processing of durian skin so as to produce the outcome of durian briquette product as a substitute of fuel in the era of expensive energy.

Authors: E.E. Atoe
Published: August 2019

Fertility studies were carried out on the status of Basalt soil of Etung and Ikom Local Gov- ernment Areas of Cross River State for Cocoa production. Stratified – random sampling technique was used in taking soil samples at 0-25cm and 25-50cm depth at different loca- tions in Etung and Ikom Local Government Areas of Cross River State. Analytical results indicated that the soils in these areas are clay loam. The sand content of the soil ranged from 34.20 % to 84 %. Etung Local Government Area had the highest mean sand fraction of 50.54% compared to Ikom having 49.71%. Sand content of the soil generally decreased with increased in soil depth while the silt and clay content ranged from 9.80 % to 16.00 % and 8.00 % to 48.00 % respectively. The silt and clay content of the soils were higher in the surface soil than the subsurface soil in both Local Government Areas having a textural class of sandy loam in the surface soil and clay in the subsurface soil. The soil organic matter content of the surface soils in both Local Government Areas was generally higher than those of the subsurface soils with a mean value of 2.56 % and 3.07 % in the surface soil and 2.90 % and 2.94 % in the subsurface soil respectively. The soil pH decreased with depth; at 0-25 cm it ranged from 5.46 and decreased to 5.29 at 25-50 cm. The effective cation exchange capacity ranged from 5.09 cmol/kg to 10.6 cmol/kg with a mean value of 7.00 cmol/kg and 7.86 cmol/kg for surface and subsurface soils respectively. The ex- changeable bases (Ca Mg, k, and Na) and ECEC of these soils were below the critical value required for cocoa production.

Published: August 2019

A research was conducted in 2015 and 2016 in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, South-eastern Nigeria, to determine the effects of heavy dumping of rice mill wastes on soil properties. Samples were collected from soils in Abakaliki rice mill industry. Auger and core samples were collected from Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources Management, FARM (control) and at Abakaliki rice milling industry in hilly terrain at three sites namely: crest (S1), mid-slope (S 2) and lower slope (S3). The result showed that respective soil bulk den- sity for S1, S2 and S3 were 1.14 gcm-3, 1.44 gcm-3 and 1.31 gcm-3 in 2015 and 1.58 gcm-3, 1.61 gcm-3 and 1.50 gcm-3 in 2016 against control (1.64 gcm-3 and 1.66 gcm-3) for the two years. Soil organic carbon was higher in Crest (30.30 gkg-1) compared to control (5.10 gkg ), mid-slope (17.0 gkg -1) and lower slope (22.20 gkg-1) in 2015. In 2016, soil organic carbon was higher in S1 (30.50 gkg-1) compared to control (5.10 gkg-1), S2 (18.30 gkg-1) and S3 (25.20 gkg-1). The results indicate that the soil properties studied were higher in rice mill dumpsite except for BD than control. Different sampling point in most cases did not vary among themselves. It is recommended that rice mill wastes should be used in farms as soil amendment and generation of farm energy.

Thought Experiment as a Logical Transformation in Transreal Logical Space
Authors: Gomide Walter
Published: August 2019

In this article, from the concepts of formal causality and logical transformation, defined with transreal numbers, I intend to re-analyze the famous Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen paradox (the EPR paradox), according to which Quantum Mechanics is incomplete. In order to make such an analysis of the paradox, I present a general definition of thought experiments, in terms of the concept of logical transformation in a transreal logical space, and show that the EPR paradox, in broad outlines, bases the incomplete character of Quantum Mechanics on the fact of not having a formal causality between the ideal and concrete worlds of quantum theory - these concepts, the “ideal and concrete worlds”, by their turn, are inspired by the work of the American physicist Wolfgang Smith.

The valid publication of Salix suchowensis (Salicaceae)
Authors: He Li , Liao Shuai , Applequist Wendy , Chen Shipin
Published: August 2019

The nomenclatural problems of Salix suchowensis have been addressed by different authors with varying opinions. However, these efforts were flawed by a lack of observation of relevant specimens. Accordingly, we carefully checked relevant publications and specimens both through internet databases and herbarium visits. Here, we thoroughly review the nomenclatural history of Salix suchowensis in light of the new definition of a gathering in the Shenzhen Code. We conclude that this name was validly published in the original publication in 1963. Furthermore, a lectotype is designated for the precise application of the name. We hope this article will offer guidance for interpreting similar cases.

Optimized Hybrid Power System Using Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System
Authors: Bhongade Sandeep , Verma Ritu
Published: August 2019

Renewable energy sources always drag the attention of researchers as alternate sources of power generation. These sources are inexhaustible and free of cost, which makes them very important for fulfilling electrical load demand. Due to stochastic nature of these sources as these are nature dependent, power generation from these sources varies. In order to mitigate this issue, these sources are integrated with distributed generation along with energy storage system so as to maintain the system stability. This chapter focuses on diminishing the frequency variation of microgrid incorporated hybrid power system. A hybrid system consisting of solar, wind, diesel along with a controller and superconducting magnetic energy storage unit is simulated. Whenever load demand of the system increases, frequency falls as a result deviation occurred in the system. This is overcome by the automatic generation control mechanism. Superconducting magnetic energy storage unit absorbs the excessive power available during offload condition and injects the same during peak load condition.

Published: August 2019

The increasing greenhouse emissions have led us to take advantage of renewable sources. The intermittency of these sources can be mitigated using energy storage systems. The present work shows three different strategies depending on the power management and other technical factors, such as energy quality, each one with a specific goal. The first strategy tries to improve the electricity quality, the second tries to reduce the penalties imposed by the grid manager to the power plant, and the third one tries to improve significantly the final economic profit of the generation companies. To achieve the above strategies, an intelligent model approach is explained with the aim to predict the energy demand and generation. These two factors play a key role in all cases. In order to validate the three proposed strategies, the data from a real storage/generation system consisting on an electrolyzer, a hydrogen tank, and a fuel cell were analyzed. In general terms, the three methods were checked, obtaining satisfactory results with an acceptable performance of the created system.

Somali High School English Language Learners in Difference Blindness
Authors: Amos Yukari Takimoto
Published: August 2019

This study investigated how five Somali high school immigrant students who were English language learners at a predominantly white high school perceived the mainstream teachers' teaching. The findings reveal that the participants were not accommodated, not given support, and rejected by the mainstream teachers who lacked appropriate training in second language acquisition theories and ESL pedagogy and who endorsed difference blindness. The teachers also ignored and sanctioned any differences the participants brought to school. The teachers' practices ironically resulted in emphasizing differences instead of minimizing, and ultimately caused the participants to feel stigmatized, racialized, and marginalized.

Climate change, food security and sustainable human development in Nigeria: A critical reflection
Authors: Igbokwe-Ibeto Chinyeake J.
Published: August 2019

Background: Nigeria is abundant in numerous agro-ecological resources, which should make it a major exporter of food items in the world. Regrettably, it has become a major food importer as a result of food scarcity. The state of food production in the country is worsened by the phenomena of climate change and global warming. These developments have deleterious effects on agricultural activities in general and food production in particular. While there are policies and agencies in the country to combat these developments, it appears they have proved ineffective in the face of increasing inconsistency in government policies, climate change and global warming. The effect of all these phenomena on human development cannot be overemphasised. A nation that cannot feed its population cannot promote development.Aim: It is against this background that this article, within the framework of dependency theory, examines the issues of climate change, food security and sustainable human development in Nigeria.Setting: This research is descriptive in nature in the sense that it provides a detailed account of policies on climate change and food production in Nigeria. It is also exploratory because over 29 research studies were consulted and analysed in order to establish the relationship between climate change, food security and sustainable human development in Nigeria.Methods: This article utilises qualitative, descriptive research methods. This article, which is theoretical in nature, drew its arguments on both primary and secondary data, which included textbooks, journal publications and internet sources.Results: This article argues that unless concrete efforts are made to mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure increased food production, the country may experience worse cases of food crisis and human underdevelopment.Conclusion: Consequently, the article recommends, among others, environmental impact assessments before, during and after industrial production activities.

PurposeHigh rate of false-positive tests is a major obstacle to use human papillomavirus (HPV) detection as a diagnostic tool for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or cervical cancer (HSIL+). We investigated whether type-specific viral load or physical state of HPV 16, 18, and 58 are useful biomarkers for HSIL+.Materials and MethodsType-specific viral loads of E6 and E2 genes in cervical cells from 240, 83, and 79 HPV 16–, 18–, and 58–infected women, respectively, were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Viral loads were normalized to cellular DNA (copy/cell). Total and integrated viral loads and physical state were compared between HSIL+ and controls, and diagnostic value was determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis.ResultsViral loads of HPV 16, 18, and 58 were significantly different in lesions in the same pathologic grade. High type-specific total viral loads were significantly associated with HSIL+ (odds ratio [OR], 14.065, 39.472, and 7.103 for HPV 16, 18, and 58, respectively). High integrated viral load was related to HSIL+ in women with HPV 16 (OR, 8.242), and integrated state was associated with HSIL+ in women with HPV 18 (OR, 9.443). Type-specific total viral load was significantly associated with HSIL+ (area under curve, 0.914, 0.937, and 0.971 for HPV 16, 18, and 58, respectively), indicating an excellent performance in detecting HSIL+.ConclusionType-specific total viral load may be a powerful diagnostic marker for HSIL+ in HPV 16–, 18–, and 58–infected HSIL+ lesions. If demonstrated in all other high-risk HPV types, this method can lead to a paradigm shift in the strategy of equivocal cytologic abnormalities.

Visando contribuir com as discussões relativas ao construtivismo no Ensino de Ciências, apresentamos e discutimos os resultados de uma pesquisa que objetivou analisar possíveis relações entre os modos como os professores de Física utilizam as concepções prévias dos estudantes durante a introdução de temas, e os objetivos de aprendizagem propostos por esses professores, com foco nos modelos de mudança conceitual e perfil conceitual. Por meio de entrevista, avaliamos as respostas de quatro professores, onde levantamos suas percepções em relação aos objetivos conceituais de se ensinar Física, concluindo que esses professores têm uma afinidade como o conceito de perfil conceitual.
O ensino por investigação na formação inicial de professores de Física: uma experiência da Residência Pedagógica de uma Universidade Pública Federal
Authors: Coelho Geide Rosa , Ambrózio Rosa Maria
Published: August 2019

Nessa pesquisa buscamos indícios de como os processos de pesquisa e de reflexão da prática pedagógica, mediados por uma ferramenta para análise de aulas investigativas, podem contribuir para a construção de saberes para a docência em Física. Assumimos o ensino por investigação como uma abordagem que permite promover aprendizagem em Física na educação básica a partir da vivência do trabalho científico dos estudantes. Do ponto de vista metodológico a pesquisa é colaborativa por considerarmos o compromisso formativo no desenvolvimento do estudo. A produção de dados foi estabelecida por meio de relatos reflexivos escritos referentes a uma atividade pedagógica desenvolvida por três residentes participantes do programa Residência Pedagógica. Nessa atividade, os residentes foram convidados a planejar uma aula de Física na educação básica com enfoque no ensino por investigação e, por meio de uma ferramenta analítica deveriam estabelecer reflexões se a aula desenvolvida configurou-se como sendo investigativa. As interpretações desses relatos indicam que os residentes compreenderam os principais aspectos da mediação a ser estabelecida no ensino por investigação como o fato de conduzirmos a aula por meio de uma situação-problema que possa engajar intelectualmente os estudantes no processo de construção de conhecimento científico na sala de aula, buscando a ampliação da liberdade intelectual desses sujeitos. Sinalizam que para alcançar esse engajamento e participação ativa dos estudantes é importante que a interação dialógica possa ser estabelecida no processo de solução dos problemas.  Sobre a ferramenta analítica consideramos que nos permitiu analisar não somente as ações que os estudantes deveriam executar durante a resolução de uma atividade investigativa, mas possibilitou a cada um dos residentes analisar se sua mediação forneceu as condições necessárias para configuração de um ambiente investigativo na sala de aula.
Teorías subjetivas de docentes sobre la implementación de los objetivos transversales en un contexto complejo
Authors: González González Rodrigo , Meza Altamirano Omer , Castro Carrasco Pablo
Published: August 2019

Se presenta un estudio cualitativo sobre teorías subjetivas (TS) de docentes respecto a la implementación de los Objetivos Transversales (OT) en una comuna del norte de Chile. Las entrevistas se llevaron a cabo a través del modelo de entrevista episódica con 13 docentes. El resultado se analizó mediante la teoría fundamentada. La codificación permitió crear categorías y subcategorías, de las que se dedujeron teorías subjetivas, que luego fueron analizadas con el objetivo de re-construir sus patrones explicativos. Se encontró que los profesores comprenden las prácticas de contextualización como eje articulador de diferentes prácticas educativas transversales. Finalmente, se analizó el fundamento de las teorías subjetivas de los profesores teniendo en cuenta investigaciones previas.
‘Buen mentor’ y ‘buena mentoría’ según actores de programas de inducción a directores novatos chilenos
Authors: Cuéllar Becerra Carolina , González Vallejos María Paz , Espinosa Aguirre María Jesús , Cheung Rebbeca
Published: August 2019

Si bien la política educativa chilena ha innovado en la formación de directores escolares principiantes introduciendo la mentoría, aún es escaso el conocimiento sobre este enfoque en el campo del liderazgo educativo a nivel nacional. Es por ello que este artículo busca repensar y resignificar la evidencia internacional sobre mentoría, con el fin de contribuir a la producción de conocimiento contextualizado. Se realizó un estudio de caso múltiple, guiado por el siguiente objetivo de investigación: conceptualizar una ‘buena mentoría'  y un ‘buen mentor' a partir de las voces de los actores involucrados en programas de inducción para directores novatos desarrollados en Chile en 2017. Se condujo 21 entrevistas a directores, mentores y coordinadores de programa; y se realizó un análisis temático por caso y transversal. Los resultados permiten delimitar características comunes de una ‘buena mentoría' y un ‘buen mentor' entre los entrevistados y derivar orientaciones para contextualizar adecuadamente la mentoría en los programas de inducción a directores escolares novatos.

Published: August 2019

Aspectos de la atención a personas con diagnóstico de trastorno mental grave (TMG), particularmente el buen trato y la estigmatización, influirían en su recuperación. La investigación,  un estudio cualitativo descriptivo y transversal, buscó analizar la percepción sobre la atención en salud mental  de personas con TMG  y las posibilidades de recuperación que ésta les brinda. Se tomó una muestra por conveniencia de 16 personas diagnosticadas con esquizofrenia o trastorno bipolar que participan en agrupaciones de usuarios/as y/o familiares de los Servicios de Salud Concepción y Talcahuano, (Región del Biobío, Chile), quienes fueron contactadas en reuniones generales de estas organizaciones. Se realizaron entrevistas semi-estructuradas a quienes consintieron participar y se utilizó análisis temático y de contenido para analizarlas. Los resultados indican que la recuperación se ve facilitada por un trato que legitima al otro, en el que priman aspectos afectivos, éticos y de competencia técnica profesional. El estigma se presenta en interacciones que menoscaban y restringen posibilidades de participación y derechos, obstaculizando la recuperación.  Se concluye que los modelos biomédico y  de salud mental comunitaria coexisten  y condicionan el tipo de atención.
A Precise Algorithm for Computing Sun Position on a Satellite
Authors: Zheng Tao , Zheng Fei , Rui Xi , Ji Xiang
Published: August 2019

To meet the high precision sun tracking needs of a space deployable membrane solar concentrator and other equipment, an existing algorithm for accurately computing the sun position is improved. Firstly, compared with other theories, the VSOP (variation seculaires des orbits planetaires) 87 theory is selected and adopted to obtain the sun position in the second equatorial coordinate system. Comparing the results with data of the astronomical almanac from 2015, it is found that the deviation of the apparent right ascension does not exceed 0.17 arc seconds, while that of the apparent declination does not exceed 1.2 arc seconds. Then, to eliminate the difference in the direction of the sun position with respect to the satellite caused by the size of the satellite’s orbit, a translation transform is introduced in the proposed algorithm. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the orbit of the satellite designated by SJ-4 (shijian-4). Under the condition that both of the existing and improved algorithms adopt the VSOP87 theory to compute sun position in the second equatorial coordinate system, the maximum deviation of the azimuth angle on the SJ-4 is 35.19 arc seconds and the one of pitch angle is 19.93 arc seconds, when the deviation is computed by subtracting the results given by both algorithms. In summary, the proposed algorithm is more accurate than the existing one.
