People and wildlife: prevention strategies and farmers’ perspectives on human-wildlife conflict management around Yankari Game Reserve, Bauchi State, Nigeria
Authors: Habu Audu , Fadzly N Rosely Nik
Published: January 2025

Protected areas are universally acknowledged as being crucial to the conservation of biodiversity. However, through cross-border contacts, protected areas can also be the source of conflict between people and wildlife. As wild animals migrate or move in and out of protected areas for feeding, they may encroach upon adjacent human settlements or agricultural lands, resulting in social-ecological interactions such as crop raiding, wildlife depredation, and retaliatory killings which can significantly affect both humans and the survival of wildlife. This study investigates the type, extent, mitigation strategies by locals and the perceptions of the villagers on what should be done by the management of Yankari game reserve toward addressing human-wildlife conflict around the protected area. A total of 255 households from 17 villages around Yankari game reserve, were interviewed. Results showed that maize (60%), and millet (31%) were the most affected crops. Fox (78.4%) was the common species related to livestock depredation. Guarding mitigation strategy was the most frequently used method (60.6%) by villagers. Results showed that patas monkey (42%), baboon (34%) elephant (27%), were the most frequently reported animals involved in conflict. Monitor lizard (29.4), African hedgehog (19.2), and feral cat (15.3%) were the most frequently killed animals.
Cima verae n. sp. from the Mediterranean Sea (Gastropoda Cimidae)
Authors: Giusti Francesco , Micali Pasquale
Published: January 2025

A new Mediterranean species of the genus Cima Chaster, 1896 (Gastropoda Cimidae) is described: Cima verae n. sp. The new species has been collected in the deep waters of Tuscan Archipelago and littoral waters at Scilla (Strait of Messina) in Italy. The new species is characterised by the apex with only weak growth lines and of ogival outline. The general shell outline is similar to C. minima (Jeffreys, 1858), a species not rare in the same shell grit, that may be easily separated for the globose apex and more convex initial whorls. The new species is also similar to Cima mingoranceae Rolán et Swinnen, 2014, described from Senegal and Mauritania, from which it mainly differs in that it lacks the particular sculpture on the apex, consisting of spiral cords that curve and become axial.

Like pieces in a puzzle: first record of Hierophis gemonensis (Laurenti, 1768) (Reptilia Colubridae) on Skiathos island (Northern Sporades, Greece)
Authors: Kalogiannis Stamatios , Stefanopoulos Platon
Published: January 2025

The Balkan racer, Hierophis gemonensis (Laurenti, 1768) (Reptilia Colubridae) is a widespread colubrid snake in mainland Greece, with a rather irregular distribution across the Greek islands. Previous records from the Northern Sporades were limited to the islands of Tsougrias, Aspronisi, and Skopelos. In this note, we document the first recorded occurrence of H. gemonensis on Skiathos island and provide an updated assessment of its distribution within the Northern Sporades archipelago. We discuss the implications of this new record for understanding the species’ biogeography in the region and the potential factors influencing its island distribution.
Study on the Functions of Mihrab in the Selected Malaysian Mosques
Authors: Rosniza Othman
Published: January 2025

Mihrab and Qibla wall are two significant elements exist in any mosques. All aspects in designing the form of Mihrab on the Qibla wall should be taken into study so that the functions will not be misapprehended. Muslim world seizes Mihrab on the Qibla Wall of mosques as a space for Imam (the congregational leader). Archeological evidence confirmed on the existence of earliest Mihrab in the form of semi circular concaved niche used during the Umayyad Dynasty and then shape and form of Mihrab evolves throughout the centuries and across cultures. If the Mihrab is actually used for the Imam to lead the congregation, Mihrab should always remain within the same dimension according to normal human anthropometry in comfort and should fit a single prayer rug in the niche, regardless the size of mosque. The objective of the paper is mainly to observe the functions and usages of selected Malaysian Mosques Mihrabs. Typological analysis done reveals that the Mihrabs under study are sized and shaped differently. This concluded that the function of Mihrab in Malaysian mosques is not restricted to be an area for Imam leading the congregational prayers but it is more as an indicator of Qibla direction.
Islamic City Structure in Sekayu, Semarang (The Viewpoint of Urban Design)
Authors: Siti Rukayah R.
Published: January 2025

Some experts stated that the city of Semarang had several times the displacement of the city centre, Bubakan-Gabahan-Sekayu-Kanjengan. Kanjengan has the same city structure with the city that has a pattern of Sultanate Islam on the North coast of Java (alon-alon, Mosque in Western side and regent building in the Southern side, market in the northern side). Only Kanjengan which still has artifacts of Islamic city structure. Meanwhile in the area Sekayu only the mosque just as artifacts suggest that the area has the possibility of having the characteristic of Islam city structure.Research city history has proved that the structure of Sekayu has a toponimic village names associated with the presence of the office of Regent of Semarang. Through the theory of architecture is very difficult to prove the hypothesis because the mosque has undergone several renovations. Researchers want to prove that from the viewpoint of urban design theory. Now Sekayu is a very crowded environment. Researches will use an umbrella theory of traditional town in Java. Based on old maps, current conditions, google earth, researchers suspect the existence of alon-alon in the front side/Eastern of the Mosque.
The findings of the research that Islamic city pattern had waterfront concept as universal design that applied on city design center to facilitate the migrants when they passed the water circulation (foreign traders and sailors). All of four city center in Semarang laid along Semarang river. It is urgent to conserve them as heritage Islamic city and develop as old city heritage tour along the river like in other country. Reseacher would like to conduct joint research with Malaysia to explore the concept of Melaka world Heritage along Sungai Melaka as a famous tourism in the world. Melaka have the same characteristic with Semarang city that growth from various etnicity along the river. The diferences are that Melaka had became an international harbour since the 14 century. For the next research Alun-alun and this surounding as Islamic city structures in Java will be compared with the lapang in Malaysia

The article describes the functioning of the vegetable product subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex of Russia. It is noted that the volume of vegetable production is insufficient to meet the needs of the country and weakly responds to external changes in the institutional environment, with the exception of force majeure factors. The purpose of the study: to determine the promising mechanisms for the development of regional subsystems of the vegetable product subcomplex in order to achieve the normative value of self-sufficiency established in the Doctrine of Food Security of Russia. The scientific and practical significance of the study is determined by the assessment of the achieved level of development of the vegetable product subcomplex of Russia in dynamics. Promising mechanisms for the development of regional subsystems of the vegetable product subcomplex are proposed. Based on the results of the study, the following main conclusions were made: the vegetable product subcomplex is in the stage of transformation of both the production and organizational and economic mechanism, which is due to market demands; a high degree of dependence on imports remains, since domestic production is not enough; a decrease in the share of private household plots indicates the degradation of regional production systems of the subcomplex due to the production and spatial compression of rural areas.

Published: January 2025

The paper considers beef production in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The object of the study is agricultural organizations working in the meat and dairy cattle breeding sectors of the region. The purpose of the study was to analyze current trends in beef production in agricultural organizations of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and develop recommendations for improving the production sustainability of beef cattle breeding in the region. Standard methods of economic data analysis were used: structural analysis, growth rate analysis, calculation of production indicators and economic efficiency indicators. The main materials of the study were the official statistical data of Rosstat and EMISS, reporting data from agricultural organizations of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. According to the results of the study, it was found that the current production covers the domestic demand for beef. Agricultural organizations in the region produce 50-53% of the regional volume, of which 92% is beef of dairy cattle. Beef production is unprofitable in dairy cattle breeding, on the threshold of break-even in beef cattle breeding. The author considers it necessary to develop a regional program for the development of beef cattle breeding in the Krasnoyarsk Territory until 2030, which would cover livestock breeding, small-scale cattle breeding in households and farms, industrial meat cattle breeding in agricultural organizations, the sale of cattle for slaughter in dairy cattle breeding.

The collapse of Eurocentrism and the two faces of Russian Westernism
Authors:   Altai State Agricultural University Barnaul, Ivanov A.V.
Published: January 2025

The article substantiates the modern collapse of the ideology of Eurocentrism, which claims that the history of the West is the centerline of world history, and European culture is the pinnacle of world culture. This de-prives Westernism of its ontological basis, and its traditional appeals to non-Western peoples to copy the in-stitutions, lifestyle and values of the West become reactionary, throwing them back into the past. Three his-torical forms of Russian Westernism as theory and practice are distinguished: Prussian-imperial, socialist, and liberal-market. Russian perestroika, conducted according to liberal-Western models, turned out for Russia and many countries of the former USSR with incalculable socio-economic and cultural losses and, as it turns out today, with a lot of blood. The article distinguishes between vicious, “smerdyakov's” as the author puts it, Westernism, based on mythological worship of Europe and the USA; and constructive — living —Westernism, as love for the high achievements of Western civilization and understanding of the need for ob-jective study of its modern scientific, technical and cultural achievements. Only this can ensure an equal, ra-tional and productive dialogue between the civilizations of East and West. The collapse of Eurocentrism and the profound crisis of the modern West direct the intellectual elites of non-Western peoples to search for na-tional development strategies and creative discussion of global perspectives related to the transition from the current dead-end techno-consumerist to the emerging spiritual-ecological world order of the future.

In the article the philosophy of Maulan Jalaladdin Rumi and its influence on the development of Sufism and world culture was examined. Rumi's teaching considered the search for God and inner truth to be a path of love, humility and merging with God. His teachings are aimed at overcoming the ego, opening the heart and achieving spiritual enlightenment, especially through the dance of dervishes, through meditation, music and poetry. Rumi's Sufi mysticism aims to strengthen the cultural ties between the two religions between East and West and eliminate strained relations. In addition, it is an important element of the Islamic-Christian dialogue in the world. The poetic Sufi work of Jalaladdin Rumi, filled with the deep universal content of its high artistic form and moral values, has become an important element not only of Muslim culture as a whole, but also of the world cultural heritage.

Authors:   Odesa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Murashko O.V. , Voloshchuk V.V. ,   Odesa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the building codes for the design of masonry buildings in seismic areas. The main attention is paid to the regulatory documents that were developed from the 1930s. The main regulatory documents that were introduced in Soviet times and their improvement are considered. The approval of regulatory requirements for seismic resistance in Ukraine, the introduction of seismic zoning maps depending on the place of construction. The main part of the paper contains a table comparing the main parameters, criteria and requirements of regulatory documents for the design of masonry buildings in seismic areas. The table can be used to track trends in the increase of requirements for seismic-resistant construction both by certain criteria (checking the strength of off-center compression, opening width, the ratio of the width of the partition to the width of the opening, etc. Based on the results of the assessment, the paper describes the possible use of retrospective analysis in the visual assessment of the seismic resistance of masonry buildings.
The systematisation of building codes performed in the paper makes it possible to: first, to trace trends in the development of regulatory documents; second, to identify elements that are obviously deficient in seismic resistance; third, to emphasise the list of issues that should be given priority attention during certification.
Thus, the year of construction, when compared with the regulatory documents which were valid at the time of construction, makes it possible to make a conclusion about the degree of initial prerequisites and solutions made in the project. The practical interest of this table is that when collecting information as part of the assessment process, based on the date of construction of the building, it is possible to conclude which clauses of the applicable regulatory documents the facility potentially does not comply with.
MECHANOACTIVATION OF MIXED BINDING AGENT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE STRENGTH OF CONSTRUCTION MORTAR
Authors:   Odesa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Davidchuk V.G. , Barabash I.V. ,   Odesa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture
Published: January 2025

The issues considered in the article are related to determining the effect of mechanical activation of a mixed binder on the properties of a building mortar. The study involved partial replacement of cement with ground crystalline quartz sand and amorphous microsilica (hereinafter MS) in combination with the use of the superplasticizer Relaxol-Super PC (hereinafter SP). The amount of ground sand was adjusted in the range from 0 to 40%, MS from 0 to 10% and SP from 0 to 1% of the binder mass. The activation period of the binder was 180 sec. The use of this formulation allows increasing the strength and reducing the consumption of Portland cement in the technology of manufacturing a building mortar. The obtained experimental data confirmed the influence of formulation and technological factors on the water-solid ratio of the cement-containing composition. It was found that the main contribution to the reduction of the water-solid ratio (provided that equiviscous compositions are obtained) is made by mechanical activation in combination with the replacement of 40% of cement with ground quartz sand and the addition of 1% SP. The water-solid ratio decreases by more than 50%, which has a positive effect on the strength of the solution.
The increase in the strength of the mortar with the addition of SP reached 93% (at the early stages of hardening) and 56% (at the grade age) compared to the control. The use of MS in the composition of the mortar provides a relatively small increase in strength (12%) at the early stages of hardening and 8% at the grade age compared to the control.
The use of mechanical activation alone provides an increase in the strength of the mortar by 18% (at the early stages of hardening) and 13% (at the grade age) compared to the control. The combined effect of mechanical activation, SP and MS in the composition of the building solution compensates for the negative impact of ground quartz sand and has a positive effect on the growth of strength (up to 38%), ensuring a reduction in cement consumption by 40%.

Authors: Jahangiri Maryam , Hakimaneh Seyed Mohammad Reza , Bafandeh Mohammad Amin , Bakhtiari Fatemeh , Shayegh Sayed Shojaedin
Published: January 2025

Background: The use of digital tools and 3D molding has become very common in dentistry today. However, there are few studies on the possibility of using 3D imaging tools for molding maxillofacial defects. In this review study, we examine articles that have used digital molding tools instead of conventional methods for molding maxillofacial defects. Materials and Methods: In this study, all articles related to keywords of "3D imaging tools", "CT scans", "Maxillofacial Prosthesis" were collected and reviewed by searching PubMed and ISI Web of Science until 2024. Then, the materials were classified into the following topics: the use of intraoral scanners in molding for maxillofacial prostheses, the use of facial scanners in molding for maxillofacial prostheses, the use of CT scans in molding for maxillofacial prostheses, and the use of new digital methods in molding for ocular, nasal, ear prostheses, maxillary and mandibular obturators, soft palate defects, and nasoalveolar molding prostheses, and were examined in detail. Results: This study showed that depending on the type of defect, specific types of digital molding tools can be used to the greatest advantage. Intraoral scanners can be used in the construction of nasoalveolar moldings, obturators, cleft palate, and ear prostheses. Facial scanners have the highest accuracy for molding defects in the middle third of the face. Facial scanners are helpful in midface defects, and in the construction of ocular and nasal prostheses. The main use of CBCT molding is in molding the patient's palate for the design and construction of obturators. For mandibular molding, the use of intraoral scanners is much better than other methods. Moreover, even in cases where the patient has mild to moderate trismus after mandibulectomy, the use of intraoral scanners has acceptable accuracy.

Published: January 2025

This review explores the advancements in laser therapy for pediatric oral cavity soft tissue problems, highlighting its therapeutic implications and advantages over conventional treatments. The research began with a comprehensive literature search in December 2023, identifying 159 articles related to laser treatments in pediatric dentistry. After eliminating duplicates, 84 distinct articles were analyzed, leading to the selection of 5 relevant studies. The findings indicate that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) offers significant benefits, including enhanced wound healing, pain relief, and reduced postoperative complications such as bleeding and infection. Various laser types, including Er:YAG, CO2, and diode lasers, have shown effective clinical outcomes in procedures like frenectomy and gingival re-contouring. Notably, LLLT's non-invasive nature minimizes edema and inflammation, making it particularly suitable for young patients who may be anxious about dental procedures. The review emphasizes that lasers can be utilized as either primary or supplementary tools in both surgical and non-surgical interventions, leading to improved patient experiences and outcomes. Furthermore, the paper discusses the importance of understanding the physical principles of laser therapy, as different wavelengths interact uniquely with various tissues, influencing treatment efficacy. Overall, this review advocates for the judicious application of laser technology in pediatric dentistry, aiming to enhance treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction while addressing the challenges associated with traditional methods.

Published: January 2025

The wear of the road pavement is a widespread problem both in the Russian Federation and abroad. This work studies factors influencing the untimely wear of road pavements. The article considers the pavement changes along the rolling lanes that increase the risk of accidents in certain circumstances: aquaplaning (loss of the tire adhesion to the road surface due to a water layer), lane-change, ice on the pavement surface, etc. The article analyzes the main causes of track formation (traffic flow, load from rolling stock, constant braking and starting of vehicles) and reconstruction of vehicles is considered in detail as the least studied factor, but making a significant contribution to the untimely pavement wear. The main types of lane-change and the places of greatest commission are determined. Experimental studies concern collection of statistical data on the traffic flow, flow composition, track depth that are necessary to assess the impact factor of vehicle lane change. The road pavement wear is revealed during the monitoring of the street and road network in Tyumen. A tendency to increased wear in places of frequent rearrangements in comparison with places of their absence or minimal number was established after comparing the rut size.

Authors: Mishchenko A. V.
Published: January 2025

Optimization of building structures is one of the priority engineering tasks. Its relevance is determined by the expansion of the variety of internal structures of nonuniform structural elements, as well as the need to construct refined mathematical models considering nonlinear deformation factors.Purpose: The aim is to the integral criterion for the least strain energy in relation to a nonuniform, nonlinearly deformed bar. The design diagram of the Timoshenko bar has a symmetrical structure and contains structural elements (layers) made of homogeneous nonlinear elastic materials.Methodology: The material deformation is described by a polynomial approximation of an arbitrary order. Nonlinear dependencies are obtained for internal forces as functions of generalized strain of the axial line. Their coefficients are rigidity characteristics of higher orders.Research findings: The suggested dependences used for strain energy components, are derived depending on deformation, curvature and average shear. Their use makes it possible to simplify formulation of optimization problems solved using the energy criterion with regard to physical non-linearity and nonuniformity of bars.

Purpose: The purpose of the work is to determine the longitudinal bending coefficient for steel reinforced rods of various flexibility.Methodology: Design and testing of rods with various flexibility with about 10 % reinforcement. Creation of FE models of structures similar to the tested ones.Research findings: Test results show that coefficients of longitudinal bending in rods are significantly overestimated and do not provide a margin for the structural analysis, which is confirmed by the FE models. The value spread in can reach 38 %.Value: The dependence of longitudinal bending coefficient is suggested for structures over the entire range of flexibility from 0 l h/ = 6 to 0 l h/ =20 under the dynamic load. The proposed non-linear curve corresponds to theoretical calculations. Systematic studies concern the stability of steel reinforced rods in a wide range of flexibility.

The biodiversity of Indonesia is well-known, and this includes mushrooms. Information on fungal diversity is still scarce, though. The purpose of this study is to identify Basidiomycetes mushrooms in the Banten Province's Central Government Area (KP3B). Roadside, lakefront, and regions with decorative plants were the locations where the exploring techniques were used. The findings showed that ten fungus species belonging to the Orders Polyporales and Agaricales had been found. Six families (each containing one species) were recognized under the Order Agaricales, whereas the Order Polyporales had four species from three families. Roughly half of the fungal species were identified in decaying wood, thirty percent in litter, and ten percent in the soil. Because of their bioactive chemicals, which include anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory qualities, the found fungus show promise for medical applications. The results of this study provide basic information for further research on mushrooms.

The development of drainage in Acacia crassicarpa plantations in order to control groundwater levels has an impact on CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. The research aims to predict and analyze the amount of CO2 emissions from drainage development activities in the management of Acacia crassicarpa plantations. The study was conducted in Acacia crassicarpa plantations located in Siak Regency, Riau Province. In this research, peat soil samples were purposively taken from three locations near the drainage points. Measurements were taken for bulk density, water content, ash content, organic carbon content, and emissions from the decomposition process due to drainage channel construction. Peat water content ranged from 542.56 to 1021.62%, bulk density ranged from 0.13 to 0.07 grams/cm3, ash content ranged from 0.66 to 2.48%, and carbon content ranged from 56.55 to 57.62%. The construction of a 3-meter deep canal is projected to result in emissions of 273 tons/ha/year.
