Influence of Nanoparticle Size Distributions on the (in)Stability and Rheology of Colloidal SiO2 Dispersions and HPAM/SiO2 Nanofluid Hybrids
Authors: Haruna Maje Alhaji , Magami Saminu Musa
Published: September 2023

This study investigated the relationship between variations in the size distribution and the specific surface area of SiO2 nanoparticles and the in(stability) and rheology of their colloidal dispersions and their resulting silica-poly(acrylamide) hybrids. Thus, SiO2 nanoparticles with size distribution in the range 40-173 nm, corresponding to 70-26 m2/g of specific surface area, were used in the studies. The results show a correlation between the average particle size distribution/the specific surface area of silica nanoparticles with the in(stability) and the rheology of their dispersions, such that an increase in the particle size distribution from 40 to 173 nm corresponds to a decrease in dispersion instability index from 0.913 to 0.112. However, in the silica-poly(acrylamide) hybrids, a change in the particle size distribution from 40 to 173 nm corresponds to an increase in the nanofluid instability index from 0.1913 to 0.929. In the hybrid materials, interactions between polymer chains and nanoparticles lead to size-induced stability and rheological behaviour, such that the broadening of the FTIR peak around 1,000 cm-1 in the nanohybrids was related to an Si-O-H bending vibration that arose because of dominating hydrogen bonding arising from the interaction of the hydroxyl groups and the amide groups in the polymer. The rheological characteristics of the hybrid nanofluids show that the relative viscosity and shear sensitivity of the colloidal dispersions or their hybrids can be tailored by the average particle size distribution of the nanoparticles.

The role of youth is very important in building a spirit of tolerance in society. This research aims to examine the role of youth in building a spirit of tolerance in society. The research was conducted in Matanari hamlet, Ujung Teran Village, Dairi. This research uses a qualitative case study type approach. The subjects in this research were community leaders (JM), representatives of youth leaders (BM and TSM). Data was collected using semi-structured interviews, observation and documentation, and enriched through literature review. The data was then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model (1994). The results of this research conclude that Matanari young people play an active role in building religious tolerance in Matanari hamlet. Matanari youth have routine activities that contribute to building religious tolerance, such as merkebbas activities during village parties/events and Halal Bil Halal activities for Eid al-Fitr and New Year celebrations. This activity is carried out regularly and has been passed down from generation to generation. Every Eid al-Fitr and New Year event is held every year. In each event, religious figures from both Islam and Christianity were given the opportunity to give speeches. Apart from that, this is a form of tolerance education for teenagers (primary and junior high school age children) through involvement in these activities. The role of support from parents/community figures is very important in these activities. This research is still very limited in terms of time, depth of material, and coverage of the area and research respondents. Therefore, more in-depth study and research is needed in the future.

Published: September 2023

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the association among body mass, blood pressure (BP), and cognitive functioning for octogenarians and centenarians.
Methods: A total of 300 participants (221 centenarians and 79 octogenarians) from the Georgia Centenarian Study were included in this study. Demographic variables included age, gender, and ethnicity. Body mass was measured with the body mass index (BMI), and systolic and diastolic BP, as well as mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) were assessed.
Results: Results showed age differences indicating that centenarians had lower BMI and MMSE scores when compared to octogenarians. Women had lower cognitive functioning scores compared to men. Black Americans had higher BMI and BP as well as lower MMSE scores. Participants with low BMI values (< 18.5 kg/m2) and normal BP had a significantly lower MMSE score when compared to those with elevated BMI values (≥ 25 kg/m2 to < 30 kg/m2) and high BP. Multiple regression analyses determined that age, gender, ethnicity, and BMI were significantly associated with cognitive function in very late life.
Conclusions: The results suggest that extreme values of body mass (low and high) in combination with normal BP (< 130 mmHg) are potential risk factors for compromised cognition.

Authors: Attah Joseph E , Nenbee Simeon G. , Kote Benison Barida , Wamakko Jamilu Aliyu
Published: September 2023

This study analyzes how foreign direct investment (FDI) affected the output of Nigeria's service sector from 1980 to 2020. The study uses service sector output as the regresand, FDI as the major regressor, and exchange rate (EXR) and government spending (GEX) were used as check variables. The data were sourced from the CBN Statistical Bulletin 2020. The nature of the variables necessitated the use of ECM. Results from the short run ECM dynamic model reveals that service sector output responds positively to FDI. We observed that the lag value of service sector output was positive and significant, implying that service sector output responds to past service sector output positively in Nigeria. The ECM's one-period lag coefficient was negative and significant at 0.05, indicating that service sector output adjusts to changes in explanatory variables and its own lag within a year. The ECMt-1 corrects 17.3% of the disequilibrium between static and short-run dynamic models of Service Sector Output (SSO) within a year on average. The study found that the service sector plays a crucial role in this developing economy's economic growth and development. It is an essential macroeconomic sector that can improve the economy's overall performance and influence the flow and direction of income as well as the Balance of Payments (BOP) position. According to the findings, the study suggests that the government should uphold financial responsibility and allocate more funds towards building necessary infrastructure to support the service sector's growth. This will ultimately improve the overall performance of the Nigerian economy.

Published: September 2023

This ex post facto research study examines the effect of loan asset classifications and the impacts of substandard, doubtful, and loss loans on the financial performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The studied Population included all 14 deposit money banks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) within the period of 2008 to 2019. The study purposively sampled 10 out of the 14 banks for the purpose of data collection and employed multiple regression analysis of data collated from the annual financial reports of the sampled banks within the studied period. In view of the absence of cross-section effect in the dataset, the pooled independent OLS regression was chosen for analysis and interpretation, revealing that the combined outcome of substandard (SSL) and loss loans (LL) variables are significantly related with the financial performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria, while doubtful loans show an insignificant effect on financial performance. The study concludes that bank loans are strong predictor of financial performance in Nigeria, thus it is recommended that banks should eradicate weaknesses such as underwriters’ initial failure to adequately assess borrower risk level prior to issuing loans and to subsequently successfully enforce repayment of the loans.

The article is devoted to the study of legal aspects of the process of digital transformation in Ukraine. The concept of legal protection in the context of digital technologies and digital transformation in Ukraine as a state and legal process is defined. The types and range of documents constituting legal support for digital transformation in Ukraine are outlined. Issues of digital technologies that affect not only the law, but are directly reflected in the rule-making and lawenforcement processes are considered.It was determined that modern legal studies of the legal provision of the use of digital technologies in the conditions of the transformation of society are often determined by unsystematic and superficiality. The rules of the game in today's technological world are not set by lawyers, as they are forced to adapt to economic laws. On the one hand, this is natural, on the other hand, there is a significant lag behind research legal entities from the level of technological development, which does not allow lawyers to influence the ongoing processes. Together with the issue of legal protection of the use of digital technologies, it is appropriate to note that today in Ukraine, the number of digital services is expanding every day, but opportunities to use them arenot available everywhere. It was established that the impact of the transformation is manifested in the conditions of the war in Ukraine and the world crisis, so the urgent issues of legal support of the strategic national priority directions of the development of the information society in Ukraine and digital transformation are raised. The need for effective regulation of legal relations regarding the management and application of digital technologies in the conditions of the transformation of society requires a clear solution to many practical and theoretical problems, as well as the creation of appropriate new legislation.

The systemic dimension of informational and psychological consciential warfare
Authors: KACHINSKY A.
Published: September 2023

The article examines one of the main types of informational and psychological warfare – consciential war as a war on the defeat of consciousness, the destruction of identity, as well as the ability of a person to self-identify. It is noted that the theory of “consciential warfare” arose in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the Russian Federation as a counterbalance to the influence of Western policy on the promotion of liberalism and democracy in Russia. Currently, this theory has been successfully applied and effectively implemented in practice in the information and informationpsychological war against Ukraine, which requires a detailed study from the point of view of systemic analysis. The PATTERN system is an important tool for analyzing the goals and functions of consciential warfare, which is characterized by great uncertainty. The main ideas of the method make it possible to combine political, psychological, technological, etc. factors into one whole. The PATTERN method provides an opportunity to conduct research into the patterns of goal setting, structuring of goals, and the functioning of consciential warfare.

Published: September 2023

This research is an ethnographic on the Kaharingan Dayak in Central Kalimantan, East Barito, and South Kalimantan in Tabalong District, and Gunung Meratus Dayak. The studies were conducted in 2012, 2016, 2018 and 2023. The research units were the male and female Wadian Kaharingan, and the Mantir Adat Dayak. The results of this ethnographic research produced 3 main findings, namely the Dara Mula Lapeh Ethics of Concern, Datu Mula Munta's Environmental Ethics, and the third is the Ethics of Living Together on the Land. The Caring Ethics develops the notion of caring as a feminine ethic, and applies it to the practice of moral education. Women "enter the practical realm of moral action in a different way". The Caring Ethic as a preference for moral deliberation takes place in practice, and an appreciation for the uniqueness of each caring relationship. The ethics of caring as the basis of human existence and awareness. Environmental Ethics is given a holistic intrinsic value, namely including non-human entities, more precisely animals, plants, water, mountains, seas and other organisms in a group of entities that have intrinsic value that must be protected and respected. All biotic and abiotic beings deserve moral judgment for themselves. In other words, along with the human species, all other living things have intrinsic value. Meanwhile, the Ethics of the Dayak Kaharingan are the Ethics of Living Together on the Ground. The results of ethnographic research state that the mental doctrine of the Dayak Kaharingan is mechanical solidarity occurring when society consists of individuals who are different from each other, and social cohesion is obtained to shared values, beliefs, and rituals as a form of collective awareness as well as reducing individuals
Mediation of Criminal Cases as an Effort to Settle Criminal Actions Based on Local Wisdom in Indonesia
Authors: Budisetyowati Dwi Andayani , Joko Sriwidodo  , Rr. Dijan Widijowati  , Juanda
Published: September 2023

Penal mediation is carried out to bring together criminal offenders and victims, so this penal mediation is often also known as "Victim Offender Mediation" (VOM). In Indonesia itself, the use of mediation can be seen in Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Dispute Resolution. Settlement of cases through mediation is in line with the concept of local wisdom that lives in Indonesian society. The noble values contained in the Pancasila state foundation fade with the times and technology; the values contained therein, such as divinity, justice, decency, harmony, unity, humanity, and mutual cooperation, are no longer reflected in the lives of the nation, state, and society. Society is also included in the formulation of legal products. Penal mediation is less well known among Indonesians. In mediation, the urgency is the value of Pancasila in the settlement of criminal cases in Indonesia, which is the community's need for a progressive, humane criminal dispute settlement that provides a sense of justice for victims, society, and perpetrators, which cannot be carried out by national criminal law. The local wisdom of people in various regions of Indonesia in the settlement of criminal disputes based on deliberation and consensus (mediation) as local institutions has not been utilized optimally in answering this problem. The formation of law in Indonesia is based on historical aspects and is in accordance with the conditions and circumstances of the people. In mediation, it requires the involvement of all stakeholders in solving criminal acts through mediation based on local wisdom using impartial or neutral media and mediators.
Examining the Metaphorical Extensions of hyɛ (a dress verb) in the Akan Language
Authors: Ntiamoah Patrick , Akuamah Abdulai , Kusi Faustina
Published: September 2023

In Akan culture, the act of getting dressed is typically expressed through the use of the verb hyԑ, meaning ‘wear’. This study thus examined the various literal and metaphorical interpretations of this verb in Akan communication. Through its ability to combine with different words, hyԑ can take on a wide range of meanings. The study drew data from the Legon-Zurich-Trondheim Akan Dictionary as well as interviews with four L1 speakers of Akan in the Offinso North District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The study was based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory developed by Lakoff & Johnson. The verb hyԑ was used to derive some nominals through affixation and compounding. The evidence suggested that in addition to its basic meaning of dressing, the verb has taken on other metaphorical meanings such as being in a place, ordering/forcing someone, storing/preserving food, making something, covering, and bribing someone. These extended meanings of the verb, however, depend on the context in which the verb is used. This research has demonstrated that the dress verb is polysemous. It further concluded that when new words are derived from a verb, its basic meaning is either maintained or changes metaphorically. The study has implications for language learning since understanding the basic or metaphorical meaning of a word in a language impacts the understanding of the language in general.

A new genus of the braconid subfamily Cardiochilinae, Ophiclypeusgen. nov., is described and illustrated based on three new species: O. chiangmaiensis Kang, sp. nov. type species (type locality: Chiang Mai, Thailand), O. dvaravati Ghafouri Moghaddam, Quicke & Butcher, sp. nov. (type locality: Saraburi, Thailand), and O. junyani Kang, sp. nov. (type locality: Dalin, Taiwan). We provide morphological diagnostic characters to separate the new genus from other cardiochiline genera. A modified key couplet (couplet 5) and a new key couplet (couplet 16) are provided with detailed images for Dangerfield’s key to the world cardiochiline genera to facilitate recognition of Ophiclypeusgen. nov.

In this work, a new species of the genus Oreonectes is described, named Oreonectes damingshanensis Yu, Luo, Lan, Xiao & Zhou, sp. nov., collected from the Damingshan Mountains of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Phylogenetic trees constructed based on the mitochondrial Cyt b showed that the new species represents an independent evolutionary lineage, with uncorrected genetic distances (p-distance) from congeners ranging from 6.1% to 8.9%. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from five other species of the genus by a combination of characters. The discovery of this new species raises the number of known species of Oreonectes from five to six. Our study suggests that O. platycephalus may be a complex containing multiple species and that previously recorded areas need to be further delimited and reevaluated.

In Eurasia, the geographically most widespread ixodid tick species of the bat families Rhinolophidae Gray, Vespertilionidae Gray, and Miniopteridae Dobson were considered to belong to four species, Ixodes vespertilionis Koch, I. collaris Hornok, I. ariadnae Hornok, and I. simplex Neumann. Previous data attest that bat-associated tick species from Eastern Asia show remarkable genetic difference from the above four tick species, but in the absence of detailed morphological comparison these were regarded as conspecific. In this study we compensate for this lack of data on three bat-associated tick species, reporting their morphological comparison, as well as molecular and phylogenetic relationships. According to the results we describe the females of three tick species new to science, i.e., I. nipponrhinolophi Hornok & Takano, sp. nov., I. fuliginosus Hornok & Takano, sp. nov., and I. fujitai Hornok & Takano, sp. nov. In case of all three new tick species the cytochrome c oxidase subunit (coxI) gene showed remarkably high sequence differences from the species that they previously were thought to belong to, well exceeding the average limit delineating ixodid tick species. This, as well as observed morphological differences fully justify their taxonomical status as new species.
Controlling stability through the rate of decay of the delay feedback kernels
Authors: Kassim Mohammed D.
Published: September 2023

Of concern is the Hopfield neural network system comprising discrete as well as distributed delays in the form of a convolution. For a desired convergence rate of the solution to the equilibrium state, we establish sufficient conditions on the delay kernels ensuring this matter. Our result improves an existing one in the literature. The adopted approach is completely different. It relies on a judicious choice of a Lyapunov-like function and careful manipulations.

Recent nanomedical applications, particularly targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) scenarios, have made use of molecular communications via diffusion (MCvD) based on nanosystems. In order to improve the performance of such nanosystems, nanonetworks-based molecular communication is investigated. Employing a nanorelay approach and cooperative molecular communications, we provide a method for optimizing the performance of the nanosystem while taking blood flow effects into consideration in terms of drift velocity. Unlike the earlier studies, the position of the nanorelay and the allocated amount of molecular drugs will be optimized. We provide closed-form expressions for molecular channel capacity and the error probability of a molecular frame. According to the simulation results, it is possible to significantly reduce error probability of a molecular frame and thus increase channel capacity by optimizing the drift velocity, detection threshold and the location of the nanorelay within the proposed nanosystem.
The Effects of Climate Change on Human Health and the Healthcare Sector

Published: September 2023

Just a few of the ways that climate change has influenced human lives and health over the past several decades include changes in extreme weather and climatic events, changes in the labor force, changes in food security, and changes in the prevalence and geographic distribution of infectious diseases. Indicators for climate change and health were developed as useful tools to track the complex network of interdependent relationships that connect climate change and human health. While the weather has an impact on the timing and severity of outbreaks, climate primarily influences the range of infectious diseases. This chapter aims to offer an outline of the impacts of climate change on human health in analysis, research potential, and applications in the healthcare sector.
Green Technology

Published: September 2023

In the domain of language, the term “green tech” encompasses a wide range, referring to innovative creations meticulously designed with environmental considerations woven into every stage, from inception to utilization. The swift depletion of Earth's natural resources, surpassing their regeneration, has spurred an unrelenting quest to refine such technology, making it more harmonious with our delicate ecology. The urgency to lessen reliance on finite resources, notably fossil fuels, aligns with the need to heal ecological wounds. These imperatives define green technology's core mission. Sectors like waste management, energy, and transportation ardently embrace this mission. Despite its benefits, green technology faces substantial hurdles before becoming mainstream. Over time, significant employment growth is observed in green tech, underscoring its growing relevance in our contemporary era.

Organ supply remains inadequate to meet the needs of many patients who could benefit from allotransplantation. Xenotransplantation, the use of animals as organ donors, provides an opportunity to alleviate this challenge. Pigs are widely accepted as the ideal organ donor, but humans and nonhuman primates have strong humoral immune responses to porcine tissue. Although carbohydrate xenoantigens have been studied intensively, the primate Ab response also targets class I and class II swine leukocyte Ags (SLAs). Human Abs that recognize HLAs can cross-react with SLA molecules because epitopes can be shared across species. However, ∼15% of people may also exhibit Abs toward class II SLAs despite lacking Abs that also recognize class II HLAs. Here, we extend these studies to better understand human Ab responses toward class I SLAs. When tested against a panel of 18 unique class I SLA proteins, 14 of 52 sera samples collected from patients in need of an organ transplant contained Abs that bound class I SLAs. Class I SLA–reactive sera may contain IgM only, IgG, only, or IgM and IgG capable of recognizing the pig proteins. The presence of class I HLA–reactive Abs was not essential to generating anti–class I SLA Ig. Last, anti–class I SLA reactivity varied by serum; some recognized a single SLA allele, whereas others recognized multiple class I SLA proteins.
