The chemical analyses of bush mango (Irvingia wombulu) was conducted in order to identify the bioactive content, proximate composition as well as to establish the vitamin composition in bush mango production. The extraction processes were carried out with the aid of different solvents and techniques. The analyses was conducted with aqueous extract of the milled seed of Irvingia wombulu which found the bioactive components present in form of tannins, saponin, flavonoids, steroid, protiens, anthraquinnones, protein, reducing sugar, cardiac glycoside, terpenopid, phenolic compounds and alkaloids. Flavonoid, cardiac glycoside andalkaloids were moderately present (+) while tannis, saponins, steroids, protein and reducing sugar were heavily present(++). Further, the results from the analyses displayed the proximate composition in Irvingia wombulu leaves, peels, seeds and seed coats samples. The moisture contents in seeds, leaves, peels and seed coats of Irvingia wombulu were 1.4±0.41%, 22.2±0.11%, 38.7±0.01%, and 57.6±0.90% respectively. The test found that the mineral contents of Irvingia wombulu in the seed coats had the highest concentration of iron (0.395±0.00 mg/kg) and 0.040±0.02mg/kg was found in the seed. The trend in the level of concentration of sodium in I. wombulu revealed that leaves has more sodium than seeds and seeds more than seed coats, peels is the least. For calcium, the analyses revealed that the level of concentration in the seed coats had higher mineral content of 4.992±0.01 mg/kg as compared to the lower level of concentration in the seeds at 3.278±0.01 mg/kg. The analyses further showed vitamin B2 composition known riboflavin as one of the 8 -B vitamins. The value of vitamin B2 was high in Irvingia wombolu at 0.17mg/100g with vitamin B6 content having 0.14gm/100g. The production of these chemical components would contribute to health benefits of the rural dwellers. The high bioactive content potential and the presence of proximates, mineral content, vitamins produced at different levels in bush mango (Irvingia wombulu) should be utilized to develop drugs and supplements for its ethno-medicinal benefits and to generate internal revenue for the FRIN biomedical department.

Between Early Modern Technology and Moral Agenda: Counterfeiting and Assaying of Silver in 16th-Century Europe
Authors: Kodera Sergius
Published: May 2024

This essay contextualizes early modern recipes for testing and counterfeiting silver. Throughout sixteenth-century Europe (and beyond), both practices were associated with alchemy. Yet, the boundaries between assayers and alchemists were generally blurred. The first part of this essay outlines the common and enduring ideas and related practices of testing and counterfeiting silver. The second part turns to a case study that reflects the methods and contexts for forging silver outlined in the first part. The printed assayer's manual of Samuel Zimmermann: Probierbuch: Auff all Metall Müntz Ertz- und bergwerck (1573). Drawing on earlier assayers’ books, but introducing his own methods, Zimmermann produced a particularly straightforward and instructive collection of recipes or instructions for testing metals. Yet Zimmermann also published equally instructive recipes for counterfeiting silver, as well as issuing warnings about the promises of fraudulent alchemists. Even so, Zimmermann does not preclude the possibility that an adept alchemist can successfully transform base metals into gold or silver—if only through the grace of God. My essay investigates these ideas; and it is clear that for Zimmermann, as for others, the practice of assaying was fraught with a particularly volatile moral and theological significance.
Adam van Vianen and Ghosts of Silver in the Late Renaissance World
Authors: Checketts Richard
Published: May 2024

This chapter attends to a work of art created in the Netherlands in the early seventeenth century. A small ewer made by the Utrecht silversmith Adam van Vianen, the object was fêted for its singular display of skill, in liquescent animal forms merging into vague allusions to the human body, all intricately fashioned from a single sheet of silver. It had been commissioned by the Amsterdam silversmith’s guild to commemorate the death of another silversmith, the artist’s own brother. Made to address the discernment of men knowledgeable in silver and its properties, the work was the expression of enfolded intimacies – of the bonds of a profession, of fraternal love and mourning, of the delicate manipulation of metal. At the same time, it opened out more extensive questions. Something quite distinct from a memorial in any conventional sense, Adam van Vianen’s ewer was a return of the dead in unsettled forms, a reflection on the complex relations between matter and what constitutes the human, and a blurring of the status of silver as a bearer of value and social relations.
Cultural mobilities and cultural heritage: concepts for an Asia-centric approach
Authors: O’Brien-Kop Karen , Ren Xiang , Rippa Alessandro
Published: May 2024

This article sets out an original and exploratory framework for examining emerging concepts of cultural mobilities and heritage with a key focus on the infrastructure and spatialities of cultural mobilities in, of and through Asia—specifically China. To date, the scholarly analysis of mobilities has been dominated by the social sciences in relation to central themes of migration, national borders, crisis and transnational flows of objects and people. This paper seeks to expand the focus in mobilities discourses to humanities, not only to research how infrastructures and spatialities are shaped by culture and heritage but also to analyse cultural mobility through infrastructure and spatialities. We set out epistemic considerations for approaching cultural mobilities through an interdisciplinary lens that seeks to address heritage studies of diverse kinds, from environmental to religious to architectural. By centring Asian epistemes, the paper also challenges recognition and interpretation biases in the humanities and social sciences that continue to privilege Eurocentric hegemonies. Together, the co-authors examine: how Asian cultures operate through material and non-material infrastructures that defy singular location in geopolitical crossings and networks; how culture is mobilised in different ways through infrastructure; the entanglement of cultural heritage with political infrastructure and living practice as well as embedded values. The article discusses China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), yoga as a cultural infrastructure between India and China, and the infrastructure and multiple spatialities of Chinatown as a evolving practice of cultural heritage.
Nature, ideology, and the ecocritical enterprise: Wangari Maathai’s The Green Belt Movement and Nadine Gordimer’s Get a Life
Authors: Ango Zaynab
Published: May 2024

The dominant knowledge about African environments informed by Western literature—scientific reports, travelogues, memoirs, journalism, and fiction—has constructed an image of Africa as a pristine wilderness of exotic biodiversity on the verge of destruction due to Africa’s ignorance-based environmental culture. Contrary to this, Wangari Maathai’s and Nadine Gordimer’s environmental discourse, in The Green Belt Movement (2003) and Get a Life (2005), respectively, reveal Africa’s environmental decline as the direct consequence of the long history of colonial and capitalist exploitation of its natural resources, and the transformation of its environment into a resource base for industrial production. Drawing on the theoretical concepts of post-colonial ecocriticism, this article argues that environmental representations are mediated by the ideological configurations that generate them. Consequently, Maathai’s and Gordimer’s environmental discourse repudiates the dominant knowledge of African environments, offering alternative ways of engaging with its ecological issues while highlighting the dangers of capitalist resource exploitation on Africans’ environments, lives, and livelihoods. The image of the environment, in their works, ties politics and ecology together, providing an understanding of how the environment enables a rethinking of socio-political justice in dealing with Africa’s ecological crisis.

Authors: Sindi Ali
Published: May 2024

The book begins with an introduction that provides an overview of Iraq's economy, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of unemployment and inflation within the country. The discussion on unemployment starts by defining its various types and explaining how it is measured. It then provides a historical perspective on unemployment in Iraq, highlighting key trends and data over the years. The causes of unemployment are dissected into structural, economic, and political factors. Structural factors include demographics, education, and skills mismatches. Economic factors focus on oil dependency and fiscal policies, while political factors examine the impact of conflict and instability. Additionally, the role of technological changes is considered. The impact of unemployment is analyzed from social, economic, and psychological perspectives. Socially, it contributes to poverty and affects social cohesion. Economically, it influences GDP, productivity, and inequality. Psychologically, it impacts individuals' mental health and well-being. Various government employment programs and initiatives, as well as policies related to education and vocational training, are reviewed. The chapter also discusses labor market reforms aimed at reducing unemployment. Inflation is then defined and categorized, with a historical perspective on its trends in Iraq provided. This sets the foundation for understanding its causes and effects. The book delves into the causes of inflation, including demand-pull and cost-push inflation, monetary factors such as central bank policies and money supply, and supply-side factors like oil prices and production levels. The economic and social impacts of inflation are explored. Economically, it affects purchasing power and investment, while socially, it influences income distribution and poverty. The book also examines policy responses to combat inflation. Furthermore, it investigates the complex relationship between unemployment and inflation, often represented by the Phillips Curve, and discusses how these two phenomena interact in the context of Iraq.In the final chapter, the book offers forecasts for unemployment and inflation trends in Iraq. It provides policy recommendations for addressing these issues and discusses potential challenges and opportunities for the future. In summary, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the intertwined issues of unemployment and inflation in Iraq, examining their causes, impacts, and the policies aimed at addressing them. It highlights the need for multifaceted approaches to foster economic stability and growth.

Published: May 2024

É sabido que a relação entre o oceano e a atmosfera é um grande precursor de uma vasta gama de eventos meteorológicos que influenciam todo o globo, incluindo o regime de chuvas em várias regiões. Entender como esses eventos expĺicam a precipitação é de constante interesse. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho objetivou determinar as correlações máximas entre as anomalias de Temperatura Superficial do Mar (TSM) na região do dipolo do Atlântico e a precipitação no Estado do Ceará. Para isso, foram utilizados dados observados e interpolados de precipitação diária e de anomalias de TSM oriundos do National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) referentes ao período de 1982 a 2021. Usando um algoritmo de árvore entre as correlações máximas do Dipolo do Atlântico, baseados em dados diários de TSM, e a precipitação, propomos uma metodológica para prever a precipitação no Estado do Ceará.

Published: May 2024

Nos últimos anos, temos acompanhado no Brasil e no mundo grandes desastres que exigiram uma maior capacidade de resposta. Este fato já foi apontado até mesmo nas Conferências das Nações Unidas sobre Redução de Risco de Desastres. A contribuição e responsabilidade que o geocientista tem na identificação e avaliação de perigos e na classificação de áreas de risco - ações comuns à Gestão de Riscos - são relativamente mais conhecidas e discutidas, tanto no meio acadêmico quanto técnico, porém, o que não é ainda tão explorado é o papel, e consequentemente os protocolos institucionais e operacionais, do profissional de geociências nas etapas de preparação e resposta ao incidente, ou seja, na Gestão de Desastres. Este estudo tem como objetivo abordar alguns planos de emergência e contingência, em nível estadual, em uso no Brasil, analisando especialmente a inserção e contribuição das geociências para desastres associados a movimentos de massa. Certamente entende-se que a prevenção de desastres é a prioridade, mas saber como respondê-los de forma eficaz, rápida, segura e eficiente também é muito importante e para isso é necessário considerar se os documentos e protocolos existentes atendem adequada e suficientemente as demandas existentes.

The traditional farming practices of ancient times were rooted in soil quality and land nutrition, contributing to successful crop yields and profitability. However, these methods were labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring substantial manpower to maintain extensive agricultural lands. Despite the emphasis on soil quality, challenges arose in consistently maintaining optimal nutrition levels for crops. In contrast, hydroponics, a modern agricultural technique, revolutionizes this paradigm by cultivating plants in a soil-free water solution. This innovative approach offers potential solutions to the challenges of traditional farming, providing a more space-efficient and controlled environment for crop growth, ultimately enhancing productivity and nutritional management.
Study on low power ADC Design using Memristor on Embedded systems
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of EEE, Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India., S Harish , Paramasivam Dr. K
Published: May 2024

As portable and battery-operated devices become more common, embedded systems must meet the highest standards for low power consumption. Conventional analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) add a substantial amount of power to these systems overall. The design and application of low power ADCs using memristor technology are examined in this work. Memristors present a viable substitute for traditional ADC components because of their high density and non-volatile memory capabilities. Through the utilization of memristors' special qualities—like their low voltage operation and powerlessness—this research attempts to create ADC architectures with much lower power consumption. The suggested design creates a small, effective, and power-saving solution by integrating memristors in the analog front end and digital processing stages of the ADC. According to experimental results, memristor-based ADCs can save a significant amount of power without sacrificing performance, which makes them perfect for next-generation embedded systems applications. By advancing the design of energy-efficient embedded systems, this study may prolong the lifespan of portable electronics and open up new applications in wearable and Internet of Things (IOT) technologies.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease in diabetic patients and is the cause of blindness in the population. Because of the complexity of color fundus images DR classification by humans is challenging and is also an error prone task. Thus, this paper proposes automated DR classification to detect diabetic retinopathy in advance. Traditional machine learning algorithms like Logistic regression (60%) and Support Vector Machines (70%) have been employed to detect the severity of DR using information from retina images in this work. Since machine learning Algorithms provide low accuracy, deep learning algorithms have been used to improve the accuracy of the model. To develop a model from scratch is a complicated task, which can be solved using another technique called transfer learning. In this work, two CNN models are trained - Resnet50 and Inception V3 with pre-trained imageNet weights. ResNet50 is used in two ways, as a classifier, fine tuning and InceptionV3 without fine tuning. The CNN model achieved a good accuracy around (85%) using InceptionV3 without fine tuning. The dataset used was provided by Kaggle which are high resolution images of the retina which are proven to show good accuracy.

Đặt vấn đề: Viêm gan C là bệnh viêm gan do virus HCV gây ra, nếu không phát hiện bệnh sớm ở giai đoạn đầu, bệnh dễ tiến triển nhanh, gây tổn thương gan và ung thư gan. Tại Việt Nam, tỷ lệ nhiễm HCV có sự khác nhau theo vùng và giữa các nhóm nguy cơ, dao động từ 1 - 2.9% trong cộng đồng. Xét nghiệm HCV-RNA có ý nghĩa hết sức quan trọng trong việc quản lý bệnh, giúp quyết định thời điểm điều trị, theo dõi đáp ứng cũng như đánh giá thời điểm dừng điều trị. Kỹ thuật digital PCR (dPCR) là kỹ thuật mới, có nhiều ưu điểm vượt trội so với real-time PCR trong định lượng tải lượng HCV. Trong nghiên cứu này, quy trình dPCR được xây dựng trên mẫu amplicon (đã giải trình tự Sanger) và các điều kiện của phản ứng dPCR được xác định gián tiếp thông qua phương pháp real-time PCR. Quy trình dPCR được đề xuất như sau: nhiệt độ bắt cặp 60ºC, 500 nM mồi và 100 nM mẫu dò. Áp dụng trên 44 mẫu lâm sàng, quy trình dPCR có khả năng phát hiện và định lượng 02 mẫu HCV có nồng độ thấp. Kết quả đề tài cho thấy khả năng áp dụng kỹ thuật dPCR để phát hiện và định lượng HCV trong xét nghiệm thường quy.
On the educational value and importance of geography and history lessons in the intellectual training of king Mihai I, during the high school years
Authors: Harea Crina
Published: May 2024

On July 20, 1927, King Ferdinand I of Romania passed away, relinquishing the throne to the young King Michael I. Despite his age, Michael garnered popularity and received a distinguished education under a Regency. King Carol II showed concern for Michael’s education, engaging enthusiastic teachers. Among them, Dr. Ion Conea, an innovative geographer, played a significant role. In the royal school, Michael received an innovative education, including field trips, geographic and historical syntheses and analyses, enhancing his knowledge of his country and preparing him for his future royal role. Ion Conea’s work, which covers this period, stands as a valuable source for understanding the intellectual development of King Michael I and the modern pedagogical approaches used during that time.
Professor Naum A. Nartsov (1894–1978) or the itinerary of an adventurous historian

On the basis of unpublished historical sources, are presented aspects of the private, didactic and scientific biography of Naum Arianovich Nartsov, the first doctor (habilitated) in history, university professor in the Moldovan SSR. With a biography created in the Moldovan autonomy on the left bank of the Dniester River and an activity formed in refuge during the years of the Second World War, the protagonist of the present article presents the signs of a character ,,of perspective” at the time. He served as head of the Department of History of the Peoples of the USSR and of the Department of History of Moldavia of the Faculty of History of the Pedagogical Institute in Chisinau and as head of the Department of History of Moldavia at the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Moldavian Base of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He drafted the first textbook on the history of Moldova. However, his career was quickly covered up and compromised, largely due to the Stalinist ideological campaigns of the time, the ,,discovery” that ,,the king is naked” and the subjective factor, which did not overshadow the professional scenario of this epochal adventurer.
Notes on the current didactic vocabulary
Authors: Druta Inga
Published: May 2024

The current didactic language has diversified in the last 20 years, the innovations being due to socio-political transformations, substantial changes in study programs, new notions specific to formative training. The impact of the new visions generated a paradigm shift in pedagogy, also visible at the terminological level. The didactic language took over a series of borrowings, which give it a modern character, but which often present semantic and phonetic difficulties. Specialized languages, with the passage of time, crystallize, specialists make a rigorous selection of the terms necessary for their work, and borrowings are adapted or translated. The terminology of education sciences is permeable to borrowing; at the same time, it is distinguished by polysemy, synonymy, antonymy, hyperonymy relationships. The diversity of terms, generated by translations, is a characteristic of the current pedagogical language.
Neonymy without borders in the COVID-19 terminology: creativity and functioning
Authors: Zbant Ludmila , David Ala
Published: May 2024

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic through which humanity has been going in recent years, new directions have emerged that aim at reflecting new concepts in the world languages, resulting from the global evolution of pandemic phenomena, materialized in neological or neonymic terminology that involves linguistic creativity. This observation explains the interest in terminological research that has been less discussed so far, particularly that related to the internalization of medical terminology, especially in order to ensure effective communication in social fields, which is particularly important in the context of a pandemic. The present study sets out to analyze this problem in several languages. The research corpus includes texts from different sites of international and national organizations in the field of public health.
The image of birds in the Japanese poetic work of Matsuo Basho and its translations
Authors: Iovu Mihaela
Published: May 2024

In the article below we define the poetic text and aim to delineate the types of contemporary Japanese poetry. Currently the notion of haiku is becoming more and more popular, for these reasons we try to bring to light the most pertinent characteristics of Japanese poetry. In the context of this article, it is a type of texts closely related to the specifics of the source language, in which they were created, the Japanese language. Kigo is a specific concept for Japanese poetic texts, used intensively by the famous poet Matsuo Basho. Kigo represents the totality of words that suggest a certain season in a haiku. There are symbolic elements well known throughout the world, such as snow for winter, multi-coloured leaves - autumn, flowering trees - spring, heat, or some types of fruit - summer. Birds can also be included in these categories of specific notions. It is amazing how the presence of a tender, winged creature can instantly suggest the season the author is trying to emerge us into. The image of birds is often accompanied by auditory effects, but also by cognitive associations based on general knowledge about nature, but also on the reader’s personal memories.
