E-governance compliance and Service Delivery in Ebonyi State Civil Service: A Study of Selected Ministries
Authors: Nwoba Martin , Nwokwu Monday , Egba Ndidiamaka
Published: August 2024

In many developing countries worldwide, the civil service has significantly improved service delivery by adopting e-governance. However, in Ebonyi state, the status of e-governance remains uncertain. This study investigates the impact of e-governance compliance on service delivery within the Ebonyi state civil service, focusing on selected ministries. The study draws on cybernetic theory of communication, initially proposed by American scholar Schein Edgar (1985) and later developed by Hatch Mather and Cunliffe Ann (2006). Using a descriptive survey design, the study involves a population of 1,797. The sample size of 327 was determined using Taro Yameni’s formula. Data were collected through questionnaires, and analysis involved percentage distribution tables. The findings reveal that e-governance significantly improves timeliness in policy advisory roles and enhances policy implementation efficiency in Ebonyi state. Despite these improvements, certain areas still lack full operational e-governance. As a recommendation, the Ebonyi state government should ensure that civil servants across ministries, departments, and agencies receive proper training on utilizing digital e-governance facilitie
Unlocking Tax Compliance: Key Factors Influencing SMEs in Ubungo Municipal Council, Tanzania
Authors: Hyera Dennis , Isango Emmanuel
Published: August 2024

This study examines the factors influencing tax compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ubungo Municipal, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Using a cross-sectional research design, data were gathered from a sample of 150 SME owners through structured questionnaires. The study employed probability sampling, specifically simple random sampling, to select participants. Key findings indicate that older businesses and married owners are more likely to comply with tax obligations, while perceptions of corruption negatively impact compliance. Although higher education had a marginal effect, better access to tax services and a positive attitude towards taxation significantly contributed to compliance. The study also highlights challenges such as bureaucratic hurdles, corruption, lack of awareness, unfriendly tax administrators, and issues with Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs). Recommendations include enhancing tax education, streamlining tax administration, combating corruption, improving access to tax services, addressing technological challenges, and building trust in the tax system.
Comparative study of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression among two common freshwater Cichlids
Authors: Oguntade O.R.
Published: August 2024

Although there is little information on the non-mammalian cytokines due to insufficient recombinant molecules and specific antibodies,  this study was conceived to access the variation exhibited by different fish species using Coptodon zillii being one of the most stress- tolerant fish species, which was compared with Sarotherodon melanotheron found in same water bodies. We examined these species'  peptide and nucleotide sequences of tumour necrosis factor α to determine its biological role in fish production in Nigeria water. The  study was initiated to evaluate the survival strategy of these cichlid groups with varying degrees of physicochemical and organic stressors  in their environment. This study also aimed to reveal the underlying genes responsible for these species' tolerance to various  environmental conditions. Molecular and bioinformatics techniques were employed to carry out a comparative expression study of the  proinflammatory cytokine gene of these two common freshwater tilapia species. TNF-α expression in the tilapia species studied was  confirmed because of the single specific DNA band of all the PCR amplificons generated without a non-specific amplification, and 21 SNP  variants were recorded on the sequence, which would have significant effects in their protein TNF-α primary sequences and subsequently  have an effect in their protein structure as well as Pro-inflammatory responses.

Authors: Ezea J. , Ezike J.C. , Ifenkwe D.C. , Uzegbu H.O. , Oguike M.A.
Published: August 2024

A total of eighteen crossbred (Large White X Duroc) weaner boars, aged 6 weeks, averaging 9.47kg, were used to study the impact of  Aidan pod meal (APM) in a 16-week experimental period. The boars were divided into three treatment groups and assigned 0.0%  (control), 2.5% or 5.0% APM per unit weight of feed. The experiment was randomized. Data were collected on semen quality and specific  changes in morphometry and morphology of sperm. Mass motility, live and normal sperm proportions were reduced (P<0.05) at 5.0%  APM. Sperm concentration and total viable sperm were reduced (P<0.05) at both levels (2.5% and 5.0%) of APM treatment. Sperm from  APM-treated boars had longer (P<0.05) heads, which were wider (P<0.05) at 5.0% APM. The sperms were thicker (P<0.05) among boars  fed with 5.0% APM than in the control diet. Abnormality of the sperm head, number of sperm with cytoplasmic droplet and clumping  were reduced (P<0.05) in boars fed with APM. The number of sperm with broken mid-pieces increased in 5.0% APM application. It is  concluded that application of Aidan pod meal significantly reduced the semen quality parameters of pubertal boars. Sperm heads were  found to be longer and wider, with thick whole sperm, while most morphological sperm abnormalities were reduced, though with  increased number of sperm having broken mid-piece at 5.0% APM feeding.

Authors: Ayinde M.M. , Ossai C.O. , Lasisi J.O.
Published: August 2024

The need to provide an alternative media (substrate) for household production of tomatoes is highly imperative as availability of land for  farming is becoming scarce in cities due to urbanization. This work examined the effects of substrates on growth and optimum fruits  yield of tomatoes. Tomatoes were planted in three different substrates; Soil + Rice Ash (SoR) (v/v: 50:50), Sawdust + Rice Ash (SdR) (v/v:  50:50), Soil + Poultry Droppings (SoP) (v/v: 80:20), and Soil only. All treatments were laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with  three replications. Parameters taken include plant height (PH), number of fruits (NoF), fruit weight (FW), chlorophyll content (CC) and  root weight (RW). Data collected were analysed using analysis of variance (SAS 9.4 version) and means were separated using least  significant differences at 5% level of significance. The PH, NoF, FW, CC, and RW differed significantly among treatments and ranged from  27.9±4.9 cm (soil) to 83.4±4.9cm (SoR), 6.8±1.8 (soil) to 18.0±1.8 (SoR), 131.9±64.1g (SdR) to 400.9±64.1g (SoR), 22.8±1.6 (soil) to 35.5±1.6 (SoR), and 1.6±1.1g (SdR) to 7.6±1.1g (SoR), respectively. The soil plus rice ash substrate (treatment) outperformed all other substrates in  terms of all parameters considered and thus recommended for household producers and small-scale farmers who want to improve their produce via organic practice to meet the demand of the populace without necessary going for poultry manure.
Postgraduate Students’ Common Errors in Writing Education Studies Dissertations
Authors: Kahangwa George
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate common mistakes that postgraduates make in writing dissertation chapters at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, then propose corrective measures. Using a desk research design, the study reviewed 200 randomly selected master’s degree dissertations. The document review guidelines also facilitated the study’s review of examiners’ reports on the dissertations under review. The information collected was subjected to content analysis. The study found that postgraduate students struggled in stating explicitly the research problems and ended up with vague problem statements. In the limitations section, most of the postgraduates mention trivial issues that the researcher could otherwise address during the planning of logistics. Moreover, the students struggled to critically review literature and, instead, simply described the details or provided summaries of findings from other empirical studies. As a result, the literature review is usually devoid of their respective voices. Students also found difficulties in describing the relationship between the proposed methodology and their study specifically by failing to explain adequately the coherence between the methodology and the nature of the study. Furthermore, some postgraduates failed to analyse data with the required precision; for instance, they use codes and themes interchangeably. Based on the findings, the study recommends intensive and adequate orientation and training of postgraduate students both theoretically and practically on fundamental academic skills for effective writing of quality dissertations.
Biomass of mammal carrion available to Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) and Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) along a commuter railway in New York, USA
Authors: Platt Steven G. , Rainwater Thomas R.
Published: August 2024

With 227,000 km of railways in the United States, wildlife-train collisions are more common than generally recognized and could be an  important carrion source for Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) and Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura). We conducted a five-year study  (2018-2022) in Dutchess and Putnam Counties, New York, USA to 1) estimate the biomass of mammal carrion available to vultures along  32.6 km of commuter railway, and 2) determine if vultures utilize train-killed wildlife as a food resource. During our study we recorded  154 individual mammals of 12 species killed by commuter trains. The number of train-killed mammals averaged 30.8/yr (SD ±13.1  mammals/yr), but varied widely, ranging from 13 to 45 individuals/yr. White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) contributed the most to  this total, followed by Raccoon (Procyon lotor), Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana), and Coyote (Canis latrans). We estimated that  6722.0 kg of mammal carrion resulted from train-wildlife collisions during our five-year study, and of this total, 4778.3 kg were potentially  available for consumption by vultures. We estimated that 29.3 kg of mammal carrion per km of railway was available for consumption by  vultures each year. During our five-year study, we found evidence that vultures fed on >90% of the train-killed mammal carcasses. Our  results suggest the commuter railway is attractive to foraging vultures because 1) carrion occurs at high concentrations relative to the  adjacent “natural habitat”, 2) the massive traumatic injuries associated with train-wildlife collisions facilitate utilization of carrion, and 3)  disturbance is minimal owing to the infrequent passage of trains (ca. 1 train/hr). Given that train-killed birds, frogs, snakes, and turtles  were not included in our analysis, the total biomass of carrion available to foraging vultures along the commuter railway may be  considerably greater than we estimated in this study.
Activated protein C: A regulator of human skin epidermal keratinocyte function
Authors: McKelvey Kelly
Published: August 2024

Laparoscopic surgery is the main treatment method for patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors. Although laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, its tool stimulation and pneumoperitoneum pressure often cause strong stress reactions in patients. On the other hand, gastrointestinal surgery can cause stronger pain in patients, compared to other surgeries. Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) can effectively inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses caused by surgical stimulation, alleviate patient pain, and thus alleviate stress reactions. Remazolam is an acting, safe, and effective sedative, which has little effect on hemodynamics and is suitable for most patients. TAPB combined with remazolam can reduce the dosage of total anesthetic drugs, reduce adverse reactions, reduce stress reactions, and facilitate the rapid postoperative recovery of patients.

Religious Conversion as Religious Contact—the “statement conversion”
Authors: Rimestad Sebastian
Published: August 2024

Some famous religious conversions, happening in a great variety of contexts, are carried out by intellectuals who use their conversion to make a statement about the world. Arguably, all conversions to some extent make a statement about the world, but some more publicly than others. My contribution will compare the conversions from Anglicanism to the Roman Catholic Church during the Oxford Movement in the 1840s with those of African Americans to (the Nation of) Islam in the 1960s. This is done on the basis of the aforementioned framework, which enables a view of both instances as asymmetric religious contact with a broad public scope. This allows me to compare the conversion trajectories of such disparate figures as John Henry Newman and Malcolm X using their public statements and appearance.
INTEGRATION OF METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORK (MOFs) INTO TRADITIONAL COAGULATION-FLOCCULATION-SEDIMENTATION (CFS) PROCESSES FOR ENHANCED WATER CLARIFICATION IN TURBID ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Goji S. Y. , Jimwan M. J. , Lawal R. A. , Ago M. A.
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the efficacy of integrating Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), specifically UiO-66, into traditional coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (CFS) processes to enhance water clarification in turbid environments. UiO-66 MOFs were synthesized via the solvothermal method and characterized using FT-IR, SEM, and XRD techniques. Comparative evaluation was conducted between UiO-66 and natural coagulants such as sesame seed, and moringa seed commonly utilized in traditional treatments. The results demonstrate that UiO-66 exhibited exceptional turbidity removal efficiency (97%), with a pH of 8, temperature of 24°C, and color rating of 16, attributable to its large surface area and porosity. Furthermore, integration of UiO-66 with natural coagulants, particularly at a dosage of 15g/L:5g/L UiO-66/moringa seed, resulted in the highest percentage clearance (76%), with a pH of 7, color rating of 16, and temperature of 23°C. These findings underscore the potential of MOF integration in augmenting traditional water treatment methods for improved turbid water clarification.

Published: August 2024

Extraction, identification and characterization of lipid constituents from Spirogyra spp. algal oil using Gas Chromatography and Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was carried out to determine itsindustrial applications. The algal oil extracted from Spirogyra spp.biomass obtained from bold basal media (BBM) collected from Tubu River was investigated. The algal lipids obtained from the biomass via Soxhlet extraction method and converted to biodiesel via esterification reaction afforded twenty nine (29) known fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs). The constituents of these volatile fatty acids present inSpirogyra spp.biodiesel sample have been found to be compatible with petro-diesel. This realization may suggest for the rationale to use the biodiesel produceby this species as an alternative for petro-diesel.Unsaturated and saturated FAMEs identified from Spirogyra spp. algal oil could be useful in industrial processes and can serve as alternative renewable energy source to diesel.
THE ROLE OF VYANA VAYU AS AN INFLUENCING FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYPERTENSION W.S.R. TO AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Chauhan Rainu , Sharma Babita
Published: August 2024

The human body is composed of Dosha Dhatu and Malas. Three physiological elements, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, regulate movement, transformation, and growth, respectively, and contribute to overall health. Doshas in their equilibrium state are important to maintain health. Any derangement in this Tridoshas leads to diseases. Out of the three Doshas pitta, kapha, and all other constituents, Charaka has described the five Vata Dosha kinds (Prana Vayu, Vyana Vayu, Udana Vayu, Samana Vayu, and Apana Vayu). out of which the Vyana type of Vata Dosha controls every major and minor movement of the body in the form of flexion, extension, abduction, etc. Vyana Vayu not only controls musculoskeletal movements but also cardiac muscle activities. Vyana Vata is de-scribed as Mahajava, which is highly powerful. Therefore, it keeps the Rasa Dhatu in circulation continuously and always throughout life. Vyana Vayu, with its swift action, performs all the functions in the body. While all three of the Doshas inhabiting Hridaya play a part in the bodily functions, Vyana Vayu plays a special role in executing the various bodily processes while in Hridaya. Any obstruction to Vyana Vayu leads to a disease that affects the whole body. Vitiation of Vyana Vayu hampers its functions as well as nutrition and movements of the body. This Vyana Vayu controls the reflex activities and intellectual action of the heart. It helps in the circulation of blood by becoming a prevalent part of people's lifestyle. The most prevalent lifestyle disorder in today's world is hypertension. Hypertension is a chronic and often asymptomatic medical condition in which systemic arterial blood pressure is elevated beyond normal. So, the forthcoming paper will provide a thorough analysis of Vyana Vayu and explain how it may have an impact on the onset of hypertension.

A representação discursiva para a mulher negra em contos do livro Olhos d’água de Conceição Evaristo
Authors: Alves Karine Magalhães , Silva Izabel Larissa Lucena
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as representações discursivas para a mulher negra em contos do livro Olhos d’água de Conceição Evaristo a partir do pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional de Halliday e Matthiessen (2004), atentando, particularmente, para a representação discursiva no âmbito do sistema de Transitividade. Para a análise qualitativa dos dados, dividimos a pesquisa em duas etapas: análise contextual, em que verificamos o campo, as relações e o modo; e análise linguística, em que investigamos as representações para a mulher negra tendo em vista o sistema de Transitividade, o sistema de Modalização e a Estrutura Temática. Os resultados da pesquisa revelam que os processos materiais e mentais instanciam significados ligados às ações da mulher negra e aos seus sentimentos e pensamentos. Quanto à modalização, as proposições, em geral, são marcadas pelo grau alto de probabilidade, com a narradora como fonte da avaliação subjetiva explícita. No que diz respeito à articulação Tema-Rema, o Tema simples não marcado constitui o ponto de partida para a interpretação das representações discursivas da mulher negra como “forte”, “sábia”, “ancestral”, “boa”, mas, também, como uma mulher “estigmatizada”, “violentada” e “marginalizada” pelo sistema.

Este artigo busca investigar a hipótese de estruturas ergativas dispararem implicaturas convencionais, explorando a possibilidade de inferências geradas não apenas por palavras específicas, mas também por estruturas sintáticas. Usando arcabouço teórico funcional-pragmático com autores como Cançado e Ciríaco (2009) e Grice (1975), esta pesquisa qualitativa se vale de dados retirados de reclamações no Reclame Aqui. A metodologia inclui a redução de dados, sua análise e a apresentação de conclusões. Esta investigação pode ter valor para a linguística ao aproximar a sintaxe funcional e a pragmática, numa tentativa de delimitar mais claramente fronteiras entre semântica e pragmática, ampliando o campo de estudo desta última. Ao testar se implicaturas são disparadas por itens lexicais e sintáticos, a pesquisa conclui que (a) estruturas ergativas seguidas de "sozinho(a)" geram implicaturas convencionais; (b) a paráfrase transitiva acarreta – não implica – informação; e (c) atribuir às implicaturas convencionais disparadores sintáticos reconsidera a ideia de que são apenas semânticas.

Aligned with technological advancements, digital-based financial services have undergone development, leading to continuous changes and innovations in online payment methods. Among these innovations is the emergence of electronic wallets, known as electronic wallet, (e-wallets) as a non-cash payment tool. Despite the benefits and conveniences offered, e-wallets are vulnerable to internet criminal activity that concerns users. However, e-wallets are noted as the most popular payment method in Indonesia, constituting 81% of transactions. This research aims to analyze the variables of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk in the intention to use e-wallets among e-wallet users. The research specifically chose e-wallet users aged at least 17 with a minimum monthly income of Rp 2 million as subjects. The research uses primary data, which is collected through the distribution of digital questionnaires using convenience sampling followed by snowball sampling methods, as well as simple random sampling. Data from 114 respondents is collected and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The research results show that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use influence e-wallet users' intention to use e-wallets, while perceived risk does not influence e-wallet users' intention. The implication of this research is that e-wallet service providers are expected to provide e-wallets that offer significant added value to users' lives and are user-friendly, thereby fostering users' intention to use e-wallets.

Apart from its vast land and abundant natural resources, Indonesia also has a very diverse culture, this can be seen from the disparities in race, religion, ethnicity and inter-group (SARA. Using a qualitative approach method, the researcher wrote this scientific paper. The study's findings indicate that individuals have greater faith in every item in the Munggah Muluh procession. The blending of local knowledge with the Islamic faith led to the acculturation of Islam and Javanese culture in the Munggah Muluh tradition, resulting in the creation of several customs rather than just one. Islam and local communities' teachings, like Selamatetan, which was once a local culture before evolving and appearing to become a shared culture since in reality both aspects of Islam and local wisdom meld into one, are examples of this blending.
