Published: February 2022

Pediatric vascular trauma is rare and comprises only approximately 0.6% to 2% of all traumatic pediatric injuries [1]. The most common mechanisms include motor vehicle accidents, firearm injuries, stab wounds, and falls. The most commonly injured vessels include those of the upper extremity, followed in decreasing frequency by abdominal trauma (Inferior vena cava, iliac and renal vessels), lower extremity, chest, and neck vessels [2,3]. Compared to adult vascular trauma, pediatric vascular injury is more likely to be asymptomatic and is associated with vasospasm. Therefore, consideration of minor signs is essential. Minor signs require other diagnostic explorations such as Doppler ultrasound and/or CT angiography. Major signs warrant rapid intervention; these include persistent shock despite adequate resuscitation, active bleeding, rapidly expanding hematoma, decreased peripheral pulses, and proximity of wound trajectory to major vessels and/or signs of nerve damage, arteriovenous fistula or distal ischemia (pallor, absence of pulse, paresthesia and pain) [4,5]. The purpose of this work is to show a domestic accident in a child such as total section of the humeral artery by the sharp part of a mirror.
Resistance of mosses Bryum аrgenteum Hedw. and Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. to the effect of heavy metal ions
Authors: Shcherbachenko Oksana
Published: February 2022

The tolerance of vegetative and generative clones of mosses of B. argenteum and F. hygrometrica from background and anthropogenically transformed territories to the influence of heavy metal ions was experimentally investigated. It has been established that the increase of the resistance of moss to the influence of heavy metal ions occurs through the activation of growth and physiological-biochemical processes. The level of adaptability of mosses depended on the concentration of toxic ions, the growing environment, and the vital strategy of the moss. It was established that with increasing concentration of lead ions in the environment, the generative propagation of mosses was suppressed, the percentage of germination of spores decreased, the differentiation of protonema and the speed of gametophore development slowed down, the size of cells, number and size of leaves decreased. Obviously, under the influence of elevated lead concentrations, significant changes in metabolic processes occurred in moss cells and showed signs of xeromorphism. The results of the analysis of the rates of gametophyte differentiation and the state of the antioxidant system of mosses B. argenteum and F. hygrometrica, depending on the content of heavy metal ions, show different adaptive capacity. Changes in the rate of gametophyte differentiation and the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase antioxidant enzymes have been shown to be sensitive biomarkers of the resistance of generative and vegetative moss clones to heavy metal contamination of man-made territories.
Bryophyte vegetation of the rock outcrops of "Chortova Skelia" forest reserve and its anthropogenic dynamics
Authors: Ragulina Marina , Orlov Oleg
Published: February 2022

A study of bryophytes cover of the rock outcrops of the "Chortova Skelia" forest reserve was carry out. It was established that a significant variety of natural conditions of the studied object is a factor of structural and functional differentiation of bryocommunities. The bryophyte vegetation was represented by 6 eco-floristic groups, which depend on the phanerogamous vegetation, microclimate and underlying substrates by varying degrees. Prodromus of moss vegetation, consisting of 4 classes, 7 unions, 20 associations (3 of which we consider as extinct) and 6 communities was compiled. It was established that anthropogenic transformation of rock outcrops leads to significant changes in the structure of the moss cover. It was investigated that serious changes were caused by the breaching of the forest tent over the rock outcrops as well as the transformation of rocks with following destruction of the humus layer. Outcrops complex of "Chortova Skelia" and its associated microhabitats are in need of protection measures, aimed to preserve the beech forest and rocks. These protection measures would help to provide living conditions for nemoral and petrophylic moss vegetations.
Ground squirrels of the war: a history of zoological research and Spermophilus collections in the Reichskommissariat Ukraine
Authors: Zagorodniuk I.
Published: February 2022

The history of research on ground squirrels as pests is described in detail in the light of reconstruction of the history and specifics of zoological institutions of Kyiv in 1941-1944, including the Institute of Plant Protection and its Zoological Museum. Data from five different groups of sources were analyzed such as publications, collections, personal files (including KGB) and interviews of participants in those events. It is shown that ground squirrels were one of the main research objects at the Institute of Plant Protection, which was established by the occupation regime in 1942-1943 on the basis of the Institute of Zoology and the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. Based on studies of the distribution and variability of ground squirrels of the group Spermophilus "suslicus", two articles were published after the war describing new forms, including the Volyn subspecies, published by E. Reshetnyk in the USSR (1946) and by E. Scharlemann in Germany (1952). The history of (probable) transfers of the ground squirrel collection is analyzed and the measures that had been taken to prevent their export to Poznan and further to Germany in the autumn of 1943 are clarified. It is shown that part of the ground squirrel type series described in various publications is identical, but it was most likely either not exported or returned quickly. Various facts about the movements of collections based on memories of the participants of those events are analyzed.
Staphylinidae beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of the upper forest line of the Polonynskyi ridge of Uzhanskyi NNP
Authors: Koval Nelia , Glotov Sergii , Chumak Vasyl
Published: February 2022

The study and conservation of biological diversity remains a priority for modern biology. Despite the high degree of species diversity and ubiquity the Staphylinidae family is still one of the least studied groups in the animal world. The material that has formed the basis of the publication was collected with the help of Barber traps during two years in the permanent trial areas of the Polonynskyi ridge, namely: in forests, on the border of forests and meadows, forests and mountain meadows, ecotones and mountain meadows. For the first time, an inventory of the fauna of the Staphylinidae beetles of the upper forest belt of the Polonynskyi ridge has been carried out. As a result of the conducted research, the data on the species composition of the Staphylinidae beetles were significantly supplemented and specified, and 91 species belonging to 10 subfamilies were identified (Scaphidiinae – 2 species, Phloeocharinae – 1 species, Proteininae – 2 species, Omaliinae – 6 species, Oxytelinae – 4 species, Oxyporinae – 1 вид, Paederinae – 3 species, Staphylininae – 34 species, Tachyporinae – 14 species, Aleocharinae – 24 species). Among the identified species, two species – Plataraea elegans and Schistoglossa drusilloides – are listed for the fauna of Ukraine for the first time, and 58 species for the first time for the fauna of Uzhansky NNP, one species – Xantholinus azuganus azuganus – is endemic to the Carpathians, and one species – Velleius dilatatus – is listed in the Red Book of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Based on the research and analysis of literature and other sources, an annotated list of identified species has been compiled, which contains information about the findings of species, synonymy, bionomy and distribution of the species. The results can be used to address a number of theoretical issues of faunology, zoogeography, ecology, in compiling the inventory of fauna of the Ukrainian Carpathians, for comparative faunistic research, in the analysis of species distribution, as well as in biogeographic constructions, study of faunogenesis, ecological monitoring and prediction of consequences of the influence of human activities on the natural ecosystems of the region.
Struktural trasformations of tasocene Collembola under the influence of red oak invasion in the forest ecosystem of the Yavorivsky NNP
Authors: Khymyn Olha , Kaprus' Ihor
Published: February 2022

A comparative analysis of the structure of the Collembola taxocene in the root phytocenosis of hornbeam beech (Carici pilosae-Fagetum) and invasive red oak (Quercus rubra) on the territory of Yavoriv NNP was carried out. It is established that due to the replacement of the edificator of the stand in the studied areas there were changes in the taxonomic composition and ecological structure of the taxonomy of Collembola, which is a sign of degradation of indigenous forest ecosystems under the influence of phytoinvasions. Analysis of the results of studies of the impact of red oak invasion on the taxonomy of Collembola beech showed relatively insignificant structural changes in the Collembola taxonomy, which may be due to similar edificative properties of both stands, resistance of soil environment to changes in terrestrial vegetation and insufficient time to change edaphic conditions. Changes in the synecological structure of the Collembola taxonomy have been noted, indicating the relevance of the research and the importance of using these pedobionts as zooindicators of phytoinvasions in natural forest ecosystems.

Striking a Balance between Centralized and Decentralized Decision Making: A School-Based Management Practice for Optimum Performance
Authors: Cornito Celinmar M.
Published: February 2022

Purpose of the Study: School decision-making promotes school autonomy and success. Today’s contemporary approach supports the idea that operative school functioning and development are characteristically accomplished when there is decentralized decision-making. Hence, the purpose of the study is to find the balance between decision-making in a centralized and decentralized structure in a school based system.

Methodology: An extensive search of major databases was undertaken, which identified 35,822 studies on the subject, wherein 9 met the inclusion criteria. Employing a systematic literature review, data were extracted and analyzed using thematic analysis. Two themes arose from the analysis of the studies, such as decision-making as a school-based management practice and decision-making towards school performance.

Main Findings: Studies on decision-making in school management from a sociological approach. It also highlights the need to mix centralized and decentralized techniques to improve education. Following are some debate points that might want more research: (1) school principal decision-making and (2) school running expense and spending decision-making.

Research Implications: The study's findings will aid in improving staff performance and community comprehension of schooling. Increased participation of internal and external stakeholders can boost school autonomy and accountability.

The novelty of the study: As a school-based management technique, the correct balance of centralized and decentralized decision-making might enable schools to function at their best while corporations attain peak performance.

Circulo moral: el caso de los animales no humanos como sujetos de trato moral
Authors: Moreno-Romero Camilo O.
Published: February 2022

Antecedentes: El crecimiento y diversificación de las relaciones entre humanos y otras especies animales ha suscitado el interés por la consideración o trato moral hacia dichas especies. Desde la cognición moral, se vienen estudiando tanto las tendencias de razonamiento, como la percepción de capacidades cognitivas que los humanos ven como importantes para considerar a un animal no humano digno de trato moral. Objetivos: El presente artículo realiza una reflexión respecto del denominado círculo moral como espacio psicológico, del cual se incluyen o excluyen agentes desde la percepción de capacidades y creencias asociadas a su estatus moral. Así, se exploran conceptos como el antropocentrismo o especismo, que han sido asociados a la naturaleza de las relaciones entre humanos y otras especies, para profundizar en el conocimiento que se tiene sobre los mismos en el desarrollo infantil. Resultados: La indagación realizada desde la cognición moral en el desarrollo lleva a conocer los antecedentes y cambios en la consideración moral de animales no humanos, además de permitir reflexionar en torno diversas formas de abordar y ampliar el estudio de la inclusión de animales en el círculo moral. Conclusión: Por ello, la parte final del artículo propone acudir a conceptos como la teleología y el desentendimiento moral para seguir profundizando en las bases cognitivas del trato moral a otras especies desde temprana edad, dadas las implicaciones en la educación y la situación ambiental actual.
Comentarios sobre el uso del Clíquer como marcador y reforzador de conductas en el entrenamiento canino
Authors: Gómez Ramos Francisco Javier
Published: February 2022

El entrenamiento canino ha desarrollado una gran diversidad de recursos técnicos, entre ellos el uso del clíquer, un sencillo dispositivo sonoro manual diseñado para marcar y premiar con mayor precisión y oportunidad las conductas deseadas en el animal, utilizado no solo con perros sino también en el condicionamiento de conductas en otras especies. Investigaciones previas discuten todavía si este recurso resulta más o menos efectivo que la estimulación verbal para obtener y consolidar las conductas que se buscan en el animal, pero en general concuerdan en que parte importante del éxito de su uso radica en la adecuada comprensión del recurso, y su consecuente manejo correcto para no confundir al perro y optimizar su aprendizaje y desempeño. Este artículo presenta experiencias y sugerencias de 2 adiestradores colombianos para el uso del clíquer, a partir de su trabajo de cerca de 30 años en el adiestramiento básico en obediencia de perros destinados a ser mascotas familiares, la aplicación de recursos de la psicología en la modificación de la conducta, y en la formación avanzada en varios países en Latinoamérica y Europa de perros para búsqueda y rescate de personas perdidas o sepultadas en emergencias de alta complejidad, que es un adiestramiento de alto nivel técnico, mucha mayor exigencia y reducida tolerancia al error.

Slow Shock Formation Upstream of Reconnecting Current Sheets
Authors: Arnold H. , Drake J. F. , Swisdak M. , Guo F. , Dahlin J. T. , Zhang Q.
Published: February 2022

The formation, development, and impact of slow shocks in the upstream regions of reconnecting current layers are explored. Slow shocks have been documented in the upstream regions of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of magnetic reconnection as well as in similar simulations with the kglobal kinetic macroscale simulation model. They are therefore a candidate mechanism for preheating the plasma that is injected into the current layers that facilitate magnetic energy release in solar flares. Of particular interest is their potential role in producing the hot thermal component of electrons in flares. During multi-island reconnection, the formation and merging of flux ropes in the reconnecting current layer drives plasma flows and pressure disturbances in the upstream region. These pressure disturbances steepen into slow shocks that propagate along the reconnecting component of the magnetic field and satisfy the expected Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions. Plasma heating arises from both compression across the shock and the parallel electric field that develops to maintain charge neutrality in a kinetic system. Shocks are weaker at lower plasma β, where shock steepening is slow. While these upstream slow shocks are intrinsic to the dynamics of multi-island reconnection, their contribution to electron heating remains relatively minor compared with that from Fermi reflection and the parallel electric fields that bound the reconnection outflow.
Electron Thermalization and Electrostatic Turbulence Caused by Flow Reversal in Dipolarizing Flux Tubes
Authors: Yu Y. , Fu H. S. , Cao J. B. , Liu C. M. , Wang Z.
Published: February 2022

During magnetic reconnection in Earth’s magnetotail, a dipolarizing flux tube (DFT) is formed and carries large amounts of energy toward the Earth to produce the aurora. Electrons inside the entire DFT are generally hot and tenuous, because they originate from the low-density lobe region and subsequently are heated by reconnection. Here, we report a special DFT hosting both hot-tenuous and cold-dense electrons, and we observe unique electron thermalization and associated electrostatic turbulence inside such a DFT. Analyses of the ion dynamics indicate that formation of the special phenomenon might be due to the flow reversal on the DFT flank, which is found to be an isobaric process in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. Correlation analysis shows that electrostatic waves at frequencies of 2–70 Hz are well correlated with the temperature anisotropy of electrons in the range of 300–27,000 eV, and waves at a frequency above one electron gyrofrequency (f
ce) have a strong negative correlation with the electron temperature anisotropy as well. This study can improve our understanding of electron dynamics in the magnetotail.
Aggregated occurrence records of invasive European frog-bit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L.) across North America
Authors: Hansen Sara , Cahill Blake , Hackett Rachel , Monfils Michael , Goebel Ryan , Asencio Shannon , Monfils Anna
Published: February 2022

European frog-bit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranaeL.; EFB) is a free-floating aquatic plant invasive in Canada, the United States and India. It is native to Europe and northern and western Asia and is believed to have first been introduced to North America in Ottawa, Ontario in 1932. It has since spread by way of the St. Lawrence River and connected waterways to southern Ontario and Quebec and parts of the northern United States. Invasive European frog-bit occurs in freshwater coastal wetlands and inland waters, where it can form dense mats that have the potential to limit recreational and commercial use of waterways, alter water chemistry and impact native species and ecosystems. Data on the past and present distribution of this invasive species provide geospatial information that can be used to infer the pattern of invasion and inform management and monitoring targeted at preventing secondary spread. Our EFB dataset contains 12,037 preserved specimen and observation-based occurrence records, including 9,994 presence records spanning two Canadian provinces and ten U.S. states and 2,043 absence records spanning five U.S. states. The aggregated EFB dataset provides a curated resource that has been used to guide a Michigan management strategy and provide information for ongoing efforts to develop invasion risk assessments, species distribution models and decision-support tools for conservation and management.

Specimen-based and observation-based occurrence data were accessed through nine digital data repositories or aggregators and three primary sources. Twenty-six percent of the data are new records not previously published to a data repository or aggregator prior to this study. We removed duplicate data and excluded records with incorrect species identifications. Occurrence records without coordinates were georeferenced from recorded locality descriptions. Data were standardised according to Darwin Core. This aggregated dataset is the most complete account of EFB occurrence records in its North American invasive range.
Après Hegel, encore Hegel
Authors: Bourgeois Bernard
Published: February 2022

N’est‑il pas possible, et peut-être nécessaire, après Hegel, d’opérer une révolution hégélianisante ? Dans la mesure où Kant n’a subjectivé l’objet que pour mieux l’objectiver comme chose en soi, une telle révolution devra être ultra-copernicienne. En effet, face à l’identification de la pensée à la volonté que met en œuvre la pensée de Schopenhauer radicalisant l’objectivation kantienne, ne faut‑il pas au contraire, et ce d’abord pour des raisons pratiques, reprendre le geste hégélien, selon lequel la liberté est la vérité ?
Le discours et son énonciateur. Le rôle de Hegel chez Foucault
Authors: Authier Raphaël
Published: February 2022

Un certain nombre de passages que Foucault consacre à Hegel (directement ou indirectement, via la figure de Jean Hyppolite) s’éclairent lorsqu’on les considère à la lumière du questionnement suivant : dans quelle mesure un individu contribue-t‑il à déterminer le sens du discours qu’il tient ? Nous tentons de montrer que cette difficulté conduit Foucault à suggérer que l’influence de Hegel sur la philosophie postérieure a été ambivalente, à décrire le sens de la modernité comme l’effacement de la figure individuelle du penseur, et à reconsidérer son propre parcours (nuançant en particulier la perspective de L’Archéologie du savoir ). Cette réflexion sur la place de la subjectivité dans le discours mène enfin Foucault à réassumer, dans ses derniers textes, le rôle du philosophe.
Présentation de l’article de Jacques Brunschwig
Authors: Lefebvre David
Published: February 2022

Pour les Anciens, l’effet de l’air sur la santé allait de soi. L’air était tenu pour la principale cause de maladie, soit par sa variation saisonnière (chaque saison ayant ses maladies propres), soit par sa nocivité intrinsèque (par exemple près de marais). On attribuait notamment à l’air les épidémies, les symptômes semblables de nombreux malades s’expliquant mieux par l’air nous entourant que par des facteurs individuels comme le régime ou l’exercice. La thérapeutique antique consistait donc souvent à compenser les effets de l’air pour ajuster l’équilibre entre le corps et l’environnement. On trouve aussi de riches réflexions sur la prévention, notamment dans le domaine de l’agronomie et de l’architecture : si la stratégie principale au moment d’établir une ferme ou une nouvelle ville était d’éviter un site à l’air malsain, certaines méthodes étaient aussi proposées pour améliorer la qualité de l’air et permettre d’intégrer les installations humaines à un environnement nocif.

Bibliometric study identified leading authors, documents, universities, countries, and sources of these articles. By using SNA, we spotted an academic social network of crucial publications. Moreover, we recognized eleven milestone articles that constitute the main knowledge flow in AI marketing through main path analysis. Finally, we discussed future directions based on our findings. Our study is one among a few studies that have used bibliometric analysis methods to analyze and visualize the citation network of the AI-marketing interface.
Mobile Edge Computing-Based Real-Time English Translation With 5G-Driven Network Support
Authors: Wang Liguo , Yang Haibin
Published: February 2022

Real-time English Translation (RET) requires high network bandwidth and low network delay to provide better quality of experience, and even needs the support of massive connection to provide more services. For the three metrics, the traditional strategies are difficult to realize RET well. With the fast development of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and 5G network, the guarantee of three metrics has become very possible. Therefore, this paper studies MEC-based RET with 5G-driven network support, called 5GMR. On one hand, 5G-driven network has the natural properties to support high bandwidth, low delay and massive connection. On the other hand, MEC is used to offload the complex tasks related to the computation of English sentences into the edge server for the efficient computation, which not only saves energy consumption of mobile device but also decreases the whole network delay. In terms of the task scheduling in MEC, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is adopted to address it. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed 5GMR is feasible and efficient.
Analysis and Improvement of Late Completion of Aircraft Engine Maintenance Using Fuzzy PERT/CPM With Limited Resources
Authors: Ramadhanti Lifia Citra , Yenradee Pisal
Published: February 2022

This paper aims to develop a method to analyze causes and to solve a late completion problem of aircraft engine maintenance jobs in a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) company. It applies fuzzy PERT/CPM methods that can determine realistic completion times and a schedule of engine maintenance jobs and develops a fuzzy resource requirement (FRR) method to determine whether the available resources are enough to conduct the maintenance activities according to the schedules. A case study is conducted in an MRO company in Indonesia. The results show that when the fuzzy activity times are estimated from real data, the fuzzy PERT/CPM methods can accurately predict the completion times of engine maintenance jobs. However, most jobs have high possibility to be completed late. Corrective actions are proposed to reduce activity times of five activities to make all maintenance jobs completed on time. Moreover, the developed FRR method is effective to evaluate that current available resources are sufficient to conduct all maintenance activities according to the schedules.

Dynamic Number and Function of IL-10–Producing Regulatory B Cells in the Immune Microenvironment at Distinct Stages of Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Jiang Ruimei , Qin Yao , Wang Yueshu , Xu Xinyu , Chen Heng , Xu Kuanfeng , Zhang Mei
Published: February 2022

The critical role of IL-10–producing B cells (B10 cells) with a unique CD1dhiCD5+ phenotype in suppressing autoimmune responses and relieving inflammation has been demonstrated in several models of autoimmune diseases. However, the regulatory role of B10 cells in T cell–mediated autoimmune responses during the natural history of type 1 diabetes is unclear. In this study, we used the NOD mouse model of autoimmune diabetes to clarify the changes and potential mechanisms of B10 cells for disease. Compared with B10 cells present in the 4-wk-old normoglycemic NOD mice, the frequency of B10 cells was increased in the insulitis and diabetic NOD mice, with the highest proportion in the insulitis NOD mice. The changes in the relative number of B10 cells were most pronounced in the pancreas-draining lymph nodes. The pathogenic T cells, including Th1 and Th17 cells, remarkably increased. The assays in vitro showed that B10 cells in the NOD mice did not inhibit the proliferation of CD4+CD25− T cells. They also had no regulatory effect on IFN-γ and IL-4 secretion or on Foxp3 expression of T cells. B10 cells suppressed T cell–mediated autoimmune responses via an IL-10–dependent pathway. In contrast, B10 cells in the NOD mice exhibited a significant reduction in IL-10 production. In summary, a defect in the number and function of B10 cells may participate in the development and progression of type 1 diabetes.

Unsettled Issues Regarding the Commercialization of Autonomous Agricultural Vehicles
Authors:   John Deere & Co, Moorehead Stewart
Published: February 2022

Autonomous agricultural vehicles are entering the marketplace, performing jobs that current equipment cannot do or are too dangerous for humans to perform. They offer the prospect of greater farm productivity, and they will help to feed the world’s growing population. This report looks at several topics that impact the commercial success of autonomous agricultural vehicles. The economic benefit that an autonomous system brings to a farm will be discussed alongside machine utilization rates, job quality, and labor savings. The need for standards and regulations to help promote the development of safe systems—as well as to define the language around autonomous agriculture—is also considered. Additionally, this report will highlight the importance of reliability in agricultural machinery and how successful commercialization of autonomy will depend on the ability to do the job correctly and consistently. A critical part of commercial success is how the autonomous agricultural vehicle fits into existing farm processes to provide a complete solution for the farmer. It is hoped that this report will help developers interested in commercializing autonomous agricultural vehicles consider more than just the technical problems to solve and make choices beneficial to market adoption.

Pismo v verzih, ki ga piše Paris Heleni, spada v drugo skupino Ovidijevih Pisem junakinj in je verjetno nastalo med letoma 4 in 8: medtem ko je za prvo serijo pisem značilno, da gre za enostranska pisma razočaranih in večinoma zapuščenih ženskih likov iz mitologije, slednjo sestavljajo pisma treh zaljubljencev, ki izpovedujejo svojo ljubezen, sledijo pa odgovori izbrank.

Sodobni grški avtor Níkos Panajotópulos je, čeprav po izobrazbi inženir, vsestranski ustvarjalec na področjih scenske in literarne umetnosti, okrog katerih se vrti vse njegovo poklicno življenje. Slovenskemu bralstvu se je doslej predstavil z romanom Gen za dvom, antiutopičnο pripovedjo o iznajdbi testa, ki naj bi s pomočjo znanosti v ljudeh odkrival gen za ustvarjanje umetnosti. Ta test postane orodje cenzure in represije umetnosti, saj dokazilo o prisotnosti gena šteje več kot umetniški izdelek ali talent. Gen za dvom je kot očitna družbena satira s primesjo avtobiografske motivike značilen za pisateljski slog Nikosa Panajotopulosa, ki je tematsko zelo moderen avtor, njegovi romani so vpeti v družbo tukaj in zdaj in vanjo usmerjajo kritični pogled, ne glede na to idejno podobnost pa so po snovi zelo raznoliki.

Vegetables are one of the classes of foods that importantly contribute to the whole health and wellbeing of its consumers. It benefits the human body with important nutrients and help in reducing kind of chronic diseases. Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are generally becoming more popular even in the developing world due to change in lifestyles. One of the most usually RTE food consumed in the northern Nigeria is road side salad that is arranged with vegetables usually lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) or Cress (Lepidium sativum Linn.) as the main components with the addition of tomato, onion and carrot. However, the consumption of RTE foods promote severe safety threats as vegetables prove well-known trace element and heavy metals (HMs) some of which are essential for good health while some are toxic. HMs include lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and platinum (Pt). Different sources through which vegetables can be contaminated with these HMs are natural sources, agricultural sources, industrial sources, domestic effluent, atmospheric sources and other sources. Ingestion of vegetables containing HMs is one of the major means in which these elements enter human body. Once entered, HMs is dumped in bone and fat tissues, overlapping noble minerals. Slowly released into the body, HMs can cause an array of diseases. Thus, the essence of this study is to review the safety of the RTE vegetable salads, assessing the contamination level of some dangerous HMs present. As RTE salads can be contaminated with different types HMs that makes them unsafe for human consumption, regulatory bodies should design a periodic workshop training for RTE foods hawkers to help fix the problems and enhance the effectiveness of RTE vegetables salads preparation. Public awareness on the serious health risk associated with mishandled prepared insignificantly processed RTE foods most especially vegetable salads should be considered.

Thermal comfort can be defined as a state of mind which a human feels neither too hot nor too cold. Thermal discomfort in the case of hot humid climates, becomes a great threat to our livelihood and thermal comfort in offices in general. The ability of designers to harness and use the building envelope make life much better and livable is of great importance. This research seeks to use Double skin façade as a strategy for improving indoor thermal comfort by testing the air gap between the double skins. Climate and Weather readings were obtained and used to simulate and check the effect of Double skin façade in improving indoor thermal comfort in office complex. Double skin facade has been suggested by many researchers as a possible alternative technique for improving indoor thermal comfort. The double skin facade study in this research involved computer simulation using Emissions Control Optimization TEChnology (ECOTEC). The result of the final base case model shows that double skin façade can increase the indoor thermal comfort in a building and the wider the air gap, the higher the thermal comfort by showing the hours of comfort and discomfort to the simulated office building. The other important factor is that it can continuously induce the flow of natural ventilation, regardless of the available wind outside of the office complex building. This effect is significant toward improving the thermal comfort performance in the office complex through passive natural ventilation.

Moringa oleifera leaves crude extract have been reported to have an invitro antifungal potential on various species of fungi. Therefore, this study was conducted in finding out the invitro effects of methanol and ethanol extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves on some fungal species (Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus stolonifer). The fungal species were isolated from contaminated bread on sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) using agar plate method and microscopic exanimation at Microbiology Laboratory, Federal University Dutse. Moringa oleifera leaves were collected from Federal University Dutse botanical garden, they were processed and extracted using Maceration method. The extracts were screened at varaying concentrations (25mg/ml, 50mg/ml, 100mg/ml, 150mg/ml and 200mg/ml) for their antifungal activity against the test organisms. Aspergillus flavus was more susceptible to the extracts with high mean zone of inhibition of 12.80 ± 0.20mm for methanolic extract and 11.40 ± 0.10mm for ethanolic extract compared to Rhizopus stolonifer with 9.66 ± 0.33mm for methanolic extract and 8.67 ± 0.10mm for ethanolic extract. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of the extract were determined with varying effectiveness of 75mg/ml for Aspergillus flavus and 100mg/ml for Rhizopus stolonifer. This study showed credence to the traditional use of Moringa oleifera leaves in the treatment of diseases caused by Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus stolonifer.

This study investigated the proximate compositions, microbial counts and total polyphenols content of onion powder stored at ambient temperature for six months in transparent and amber coloured jars. Standard methods of Association of Analytical Chemists (AOAC), American Public Health Association (APHA) were used to evaluate the proximate composition and microbial count of the powder while the Folin-Ciocalteu method was used to assess total polyphenols during and after storage. There were significant (p < 0.05) differences in the total polyphenol (TP) contents and proximate composition of onion powder stored in amber and transparent jars. Total polyphenol contents of the onion powder decreased from an initial value of 14.60±1.08 mg/g GAE to a final value of 5.92±0.76 mg/g GAE in the amber coloured jar after storage while a final value of 1.64± 0.78 (mg/g) GAE was evaluated after storage in the transparent jar. From proximate compositions, only crude protein, fibre and moisture contents increased during and after storage in both storage jars. There was more retention of proximate parameters in the content of amber storage jar during and after storage. Microbial colony counts in onion powder in the amber jars were fewer than in the transparent jars during and after storage. To minimize wastage of onion during glut season, onion should be made into powder form and better stored in amber coloured material for better retention of nutritional qualities prior to use at home or industry.
An Improved Model for the Prediction of Liquid Loading in gas Wells using Firefly and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms

Liquid loading is an undesired phenomenon in gas wells that occurs when producing wells attain a flow rate below which liquid will not be able to flow to the surface. The inability of the energy from the gas to transport the liquid to the surface causes back flow and eventual accumulation of liquid at the wellbore. This is characterised by intermittent flow, which, if left unchecked, can eventually kill the well. An effective and reliable predictive method must therefore, be employed. In this study, improved models based on data set from condensate/water in a gas well were developed by applying firefly (FA) and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithms. The results showed that the model developed out perform many of the existing models. The models predicted liquid loading in gas well at 86% level of accuracy compared to the 81% highest possible from published models. Although, the FA and PSO models predicted liquid loading at higher accuracy compared with Turner and Coleman models for higher wellhead pressure systems, the Coleman model appeared to perform better in the prediction of critical gas rate for low-pressure systems. However, the developed model can significantly improve the prediction of liquid loading in gas wells at a higher reliability and accuracy levels. Thus, the proposed models can be a veritable tool for accurately predicting liquid loading in gas wells.
