Authors: C.A Egbe , A. A. Dada
Published: April 2020

The study analyze the physical, chemical and Biological properties of sludge (Domestic waste water) in Umuda-Isingwu, Umuahia-Ibeku and Ihie-ndume in Umuahia north local government area of Abia state. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. Data obtained from laboratory analysis of the water samples was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques notably mean, F-LSD and F -test. The mean values of the physical and chemical parameters were compared with SON’s and WHO’s permissible limits. In the chemical properties COD had a mean range of 69.03 ± 0.06 to 80.03 ± 0.06 with all the means showing significant difference among each other (P ? 0.05). The highest TSS was observed in Ibeku at 921.03 ± 0.06. Nickel had a range of 7.42 ± 0.01 to 8.71 ± 0.01 Mg/l with all the means showing significant difference (P ? 0.05). PO4 had its highest concentration in Ihie Ndume community with a mean of 54.03 ± 0.06 Mg/l. None of the means of pH was seen to be above the WHO permissible limit of 8.5, as the mean range of pH was between 6.11 ± 0.01 to 7.76 ± 0.01. The E. coli load was high at Umuda Isingwu, followed by Ibeku and then Ihie Ndume. P. aeruginos and S. aereus was not observed in Ihie Ndume. The presence of fecal coliform bacteria is an indicator that a potential health hazard exists for individuals exposed to the source of water. Nickel was found to be slightly elevated at most of the sites above WHO. Trace metals have been implicated to be responsible for certain health disorders. The PO43- levels varied along the sampling community sites with some sites values having relatively higher values. In general the quality of these waste water cannot be guaranteed as most of the indicators were higher than the WHO and SON standards. This paper assumes that waste water evaluated pose huge treat to the immediate environment and should be investigated further in addition to epidemiological evaluation of the community to rule out occurrence of water-borne diseases.
Slithering Down the Plank of Intellectualism?
The Canadian Conference of Christian Educators
and the Impulse towards Accreditation
among Canadian Bible Schools during the 1960s
Authors: Guenther Bruce L.
Published: April 2020

The scholarly analysis of accreditation among Bible schools and colleges
remains a significant historiographical lacuna. This article examines the emerging
impulse towards accreditation within the Bible school movement in western
Canada during the turbulent 1960s, a critical decade in the development of
evangelical theological education in Canada. The central focus is the origin,
activities, and influence of a conference known as the Canadian Conference of
Christian Educators (CCCE), an annual gathering of evangelical educators that
began meeting in 1960. The prominent presence of personnel from the newly
formed Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (AABC), who were keenly
interested in extending their organization into a region with the largest
concentration of Bible schools in the world, raised expectations among Canadian
evangelical educators about the possibility of a new level of respectability and
recognition for their schools among public universities in Canada. Bible college
educators in Canada soon discovered that AABC accreditation did not mean the
same thing within the post-secondary educational landscape of Canada as it did
in the United States. This resulted in an ambivalent relationship between AABC
and the emerging Bible colleges in Canada, and prompted some Canadian leaders
to investigate other avenues towards academic recognition. Illustrating the
polarized response towards accreditation within the Bible school/college
movement are two brief institutional studies of Mennonite Brethren Bible
College in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills,
Alberta. The differences reflect the variegated character of an evolving
evangelicalism in western Canada. By the end of the 1960s, the significant
American influence within the CCCE had been displaced by Canadian initiative
and leadership, thus signalling the beginning of a new chapter in evangelical
higher education in Canada.
“BETTER AND HAPPIER MEN AND WOMEN”:
THE AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTION ACT,
1913-1924
Authors: Ambrose Linda M.
Published: April 2020

In 1913, the Canadian government introduced The Agricultural Instruction
Act, a measure which granted ten million dollars to the provinces over ten years
to aid agriculture. The Conservatives predicted that the Act would help in
“aiding and advancing the farming industry by instruction in agriculture” but this
paper argues that, ironically, the funding actually served to heighten rural
discontent, not assuage it. By examining public documents and the rural press,
the paper explores the rationale, rhetoric, and politics of this initiative. The
funding designated for women’s groups is closely examined to determine its
impact on the growth of groups like the Women’s Institutes.

Cloning and preliminary verification of telomere-associated sequences in upland cotton
Authors: Liu Yuling , Liu Zhen , Wei Yangyang , Wang Yanjun , Shuang Jiaran , Peng Renhai
Published: April 2020

Telomeres are structures enriched in repetitive sequences at the end of chromosomes. In this study, using the telomere primer AA(CCCTAAA)3CCC for the single primer PCR, two DNA sequences were obtained from Gossypium hirsutum (Linnaeus, 1753) accession (acc.) TM-1. Sequence analysis showed that the two obtained sequences were all rich in A/T base, which was consistent with the characteristic of the telomere-associated sequence (TAS). They were designated as GhTAS1 and GhTAS2 respectively. GhTAS1 is 489 bp long, with 57.6% of A/T, and GhTAS2 is 539 bp long, with 63.9% of A/T. Fluorescence in situ hybridization results showed that both of the cloned TASs were located at the ends of the partial chromosomes of G. hirsutum, with the strong signals, which further confirmed that GhTAS1 and GhTAS2 were telomere-associated sequences including highly tandemly repetitive sequences. Results of blast against the assembled genome of G. hirsutum showed that GhTAS sequences may be missed on some assembled chromosomes. The results provide important evidence for the evaluation of the integrity of assembled chromosome end sequences, and will also contribute to the further perfection of the draft genomes of cotton.

NATURE OF THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN WORK AND FAMILY SATISFACTION IN WOMEN
Authors: Markiewicz Katarzyna , Gaś Zbigniew B.
Published: April 2020

The aim of the present study was to specify the nature of the relationships between work and marital satisfaction in the women. In addition it aimed at revealing as to whether demographic variables, such as age, position, length of service, marriage duration, and the number of children have an impact upon the work and marital satisfaction in working women.

The present study included 120 married, working women, and analyses the relationship between job satisfaction and marital satisfaction, taking into consideration emotional and cognitive factors. The participants were mostly office workers, of whom 20 (8%) occupied management positions. The Descriptions Inventory, Job Affect Scale, Questionnaire of Well-matched Marriage, and a scale of work-job interactions were administered.

Significant positive correlations across almost all variables of job and marital satisfaction were observed. This means that the increase of marital satisfaction corresponds with the increase in job satisfaction, although the work/family conflict resulted in experiencing negative emotions at work. Moreover, the level of job satisfaction was higher than the level of family satisfaction. It was also found that the age and time spent at work proved to have a negative impact upon job satisfaction.

Work-family facilitation proved to be crucial since its exclusion made the interface between all factors of family satisfaction and work insignificant. At the same time, the managerial women suffered from work/family conflict to a greater degree than did office workers. The study revealed also that the needs of older workers should be taken into account to maintain their work/life balance.

Trend Analysis of Precipitation and Temperature over Different Districts of Karnataka: An Aid to Climate Change Detection and Cropping System Option
Authors: Sridhara S. , Gopakkali Pradeep , Nandini R.
Published: April 2020

Aims: To know the rainfall and temperature trend for all the districts of Karnataka state to develop suitable coping mechanisms for changing weather conditions during the cropping season.

Study Design: The available daily data of rainfall (1971-2011) and minimum and maximum temperature (1971-2007) for each district was collected from NICRA-ICAR website. A non-parametric model such as the Mann-Kendall (MK) test complemented with Sen’s slope estimator was used to determine the magnitude of the trend.

Place and Duration of Study: The rainfall data of 41 years (1971-2011) and temperature data of 37 years (1971-2007) was collected for all 27 districts of Karnataka.

Methodology: Basic statistics related to rainfall like mean, standard deviation (SD), the coefficient of variation (CV) and the percentage contribution to annual rainfall were computed for monthly and season-wise. Mann-Kendall test was used to detect trend for rainfall as well as temperature.

Results: An increasing trend in rainfall during winter, monsoon and annual basis for all most all the districts of Karnataka and decreasing trend of rainfall during pre and post-monsoon season was noticed. An early cessation of rainfall during September month in all most all the districts of Karnataka was observed. Similarly, monthly mean, maximum and the minimum temperature had shown an increasing trend over the past 37 years for all the districts of Karnataka.

Conclusion: The more variation in rainfall during the pre-monsoon season was observed, which is more important for land preparation and other operations. The increasing trend of maximum and minimum temperature throughout the year may often cause a reduction in crop yield. It is necessary to change crops with its short duration varieties in order to avoid late season drought.

2D monoelemental group 14 materials beyond graphene, such as silicene and germanene, have recently gained a lot of attention. Covalent functionalization of group 14 layered materials can lead to significant tuning of their properties. While optical and electronic properties of germanene, silicene, and their derivatives have been studied in detail previously, there is no information on their electrochemistry and toxicity. Herein, electrochemical applications of 2D siloxene, germanane, and methylgermanane, specifically for detection of an important biomarker, dopamine, as well as catalyzation of oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions, which are important in energy applications, are explored. Among the three materials, germanane portrays most superior properties for the electrochemical applications mentioned. All three materials possess fast heterogeneous electron transfer rates, relative to bare glassy carbon electrodes. In addition, toxicity studies of these materials are conducted to gain insights on their possible harmful effects toward human health. The results of this study show siloxene nontoxic while germanane and methylgermanane impose dose‐dependent toxicity. Interestingly, methylation successfully reduce the toxicity of methylgermanane at lower concentrations. These studies provide fundamental insights into electrochemical and toxic properties of functionalized group 14 layered materials for future electrochemical applications.

Published: April 2020

Owing to their high robustness and conductivity, 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides known as MXenes are considered as a promising material class for electrochemical catalysis, energy conversion, and storage applications. Nevertheless, conventional hazardous fluoride‐based synthesis routes and the intense intralayer bonding restrict the development of MXenes. Herein, a fluoride‐free, facile, and rapid method for synthesizing self‐assembled 1D architecture from an MXene‐based compound is reported. The MXene nanowire (NW) not only provides a robust connection to the flexible substrate but also effectively increases the electrochemically active surface area. The kinetics‐favorable structure yields a boosted performance for the hydrogen/oxygen evolution reaction and the intake of the zinc ion. The 1D NW based on MXene compound maintains high stability in a quite low overpotential of 236 mV for 24 h without detachment from the substrate and manifests an exceptional high‐power density of 420 W kg−1 over 150 cycles as a flexible aqueous zinc ion battery. This work paves a novel and non‐toxic synthesis method for the 1D nanofiber structure from MXene composition and demonstrates its multifunctional applications for energy conversion and storage.
Technological ecosystems in capability development: A case study in emerging technologies
Authors: Ivanova Ksenia , Elsawah Sondoss , Fidock Justin
Published: April 2020

The concept of technological ecosystems has been increasingly applied across different domains but rarely in the area of capability development. This paper contributes to addressing this knowledge gap by demonstrating the potential value of applying the technological ecosystems perspective to support technology investment decisions. We present a practical step‐by‐step approach to show how this approach can be used in practice and illustrate it using two case studies in the military domain. Case A looks at emerging technologies in health support; and Case B is concerned with driverless vehicles in dangerous environments. In both instances, the concepts are developed via facilitated workshops and the technological ecosystem maps are derived by analyzing the enabling technological elements and the relationships between them. Subsequent analysis shows how the technological ecosystem framing assists in gaining a holistic picture of the potential impacts of technology adoption and how it can be used to reframe capability options in terms of technology groupings. Technological ecosystem analysis across the two cases is used to identify common capability enablers and multidomain capability enhancing elements. We discuss the types of components within the generated technological ecosystem maps and point to directions for future work enabled by technological ecosystem mapping in capability development.
Genetische Diagnostik vor assistierter Reproduktion – Empfehlungen der neuen S2k-Leitlinie 2019
Authors: Rudnik-Schöneborn Sabine , Tüttelmann Frank , Zschocke Johannes
Published: April 2020

Genetische Ursachen sind für etwa 10–20 % der männlichen und 5–10 % der weiblichen In- oder Subfertilität verantwortlich. Bei Männern ist die andrologische Untersuchung Voraussetzung dafür, genetische Ursachen von Spermatogenesestörungen einordnen zu können. Außer Störungen der Geschlechtschromosomen können auch balancierte Chromosomenumbauten zu einer Fertilitätsminderung führen. Eine Azoospermiefaktoranalyse in Bezug auf Y‑chromosomale Mikrodeletionen ist bei Männern mit Azoospermie indiziert, da sie über den Erfolg einer assistierten Reproduktion entscheiden kann. Bei Verdacht auf obstruktive Azoospermie soll eine Analyse des CFTR-Gens zur Diagnostik einer zystischen Fibrose erfolgen. Bei endokrinen Auffälligkeiten sind genetische Ursachen des häufigeren hypergonadotropen Hypogonadismus von denen eines seltenen kongenitalen hypogonadotropen Hypogonadismus zu unterscheiden. Algorithmen zur genetischen Diagnostik sind in der aktuellen Leitlinie im internationalen Vergleich ausgeführt.
On the EA-classes of known APN functions in small dimensions
Authors: Calderini Marco
Published: April 2020

Recently Budaghyan et al. (Cryptogr. Commun. 12, 85–100, 2020) introduced a procedure for investigating if CCZ-equivalence can be more general than EA-equivalence together with inverse transformation (when applicable). In this paper, we show that it is possible to use this procedure for classifying, up to EA-equivalence, all known APN functions in dimension 6. We also give some discussion for dimension 7, 8 and 9. In particular, in these cases it is possible to give an upper bound on the EA-classes contained in the CCZ-classes of the known APN functions.
The Mystery of Body: Nancy'sCorpusand the Christian Body
Authors: Šimić Krešimir
Published: April 2020

After the initial contextualization of the topic, by following Nancy's juxtaposition strategy, this article points to two senses of the body that, according to him, have defined the Western culture. The first one,logos(principle precedes the body and gives it meaning); the second,sarx(the meaning of the body comes from the body itself, so that the body comes out of itself, alienates itself, and deconstructs its own representative activities). Next, I give a more precise depiction of Nancy's deconstruction of the body through an analysis ofCorpusbecause it is precisely with this work (in the chapterOn the Soul, which is also the title of Aristotle's well-known treatise dealing first and foremost with the body, and in the chapterThe Extension of the Soul) that Nancy most explicitly deconstructs hylomorphic somatology, which largely influenced the Christian theology of the body. Furthermore, I interpret Genesis 2:18–25 (in constant dialogue with Nancy) as a theological reaction on Nancy's deconstruction of the body. In other words, on the basis of biblical texts, the “mystery of the body” is depicted. Finally, the article ends with a comparison of Nancy's “inoperative community” (communauté désoeuvrée) and the Body of Christ (church).

Objektive oder subjektive Qualität?
Authors: Raab Andrea , Fischer Susanne , Mauler Theresa
Published: April 2020

Zielsetzung Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit der Überprüfung möglicher Zusammenhänge zwischen Kriterien der Behandlungsqualität, der Zufriedenheit und der Weiterempfehlung von Patienten einer Akutklinik mittels statistischer Verfahren.

Methodik Datengrundlage bilden QSR-Daten (Qualitätssicherung mit Routinedaten) und Ergebnisse des PEQ (Patients’ Experience Questionnaire) aus dem AOK Krankenhausnavigator am Beispiel der Prozedur „Einsetzen eines künstlichen Kniegelenks“. Die Analyse und Interpretation der online gewonnenen Daten erfolgt mithilfe des Statistikprogramms SPSS unter Anwendung deskriptiver und induktiver Statistik.

Ergebnisse ▪ Geringer signifikanter Zusammenhang der Kriterien der Behandlungsqualität und der Gesamtzufriedenheit der Patienten. ▪ Schwacher Einfluss der Behandlungsqualität auf die Weiterempfehlung der Patienten. ▪ Kliniken mit überdurchschnittlicher Qualität erreichen höchste Weiterempfehlungsquoten. Kliniken mit unterdurchschnittlicher Qualität erzielen signifikant bessere Ergebnisse hinsichtlich Weiterempfehlung als Kliniken mit durchschnittlicher Qualität. ▪ Zufriedenheit mit ärztlicher Versorgung sowie Zufriedenheit mit Organisation und Service haben großen Einfluss auf die Weiterempfehlung aus Patientensicht.

Schlussfolgerung Objektive Qualitätsmerkmale der Klinik haben nur geringe Auswirkungen auf die Weiterempfehlung einer Klinik durch den Patienten. Relevant sind subjektiv wahrgenommene Merkmale wie die Zufriedenheit mit ärztlicher Versorgung oder die Zufriedenheit mit Organisation und Service. Bereitgestellte Qualitätsberichte müssen patientengerecht gestaltet werden bspw. durch die Ergänzung von für den Patienten relevanten Informationen wie Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO).
The metalinguistics of offence in (British) English
Authors: Culpeper Jonathan , Haugh Michael
Published: April 2020

Offence is a central concept in impoliteness, aggression and conflict research, yet has received only passing
mention in definitions of impoliteness and related concepts. Janicki (2017) argues that
impoliteness and language aggression scholars are needlessly worried about definitions. We use Janicki’s (2017) work as a springboard into a discussion of definitions of impolite or taboo language, airing
potential problems and suggesting that the study of metalanguage offers at least a partial solution. We report a study of the
metalanguage of offence in British English, and briefly examine whether there are any differences in Australian English,
using SketchEngine to interrogate data in the two-billion word Oxford English Corpus. In so doing, we tease out different uses of
the term offensive, and show that concepts such as offence are coloured by the specific linguistic and
cultural contexts in which they appear. We conclude that while corpus-based metalinguistic analyses cannot completely eliminate
the problem of definitional infinite regress, they do, however, offer an empirically grounded way of defining words that allows us
to move beyond the intuitions of individual researchers.
