Authors:   Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education ", Fedoninа O.V. ,   Mordovia State University named after N.P. Ogarev"
Published: March 2021

The article examines the main problems of the growth of productive employment at the level of the country and region. In particular, the tendency of regional differences in the structure of employment and the dynamics of wages was revealed. The main factors that prevent young people from taking a position in society adequate to the modern type of economic development are analyzed. In the Republic of Mordovia, data have been investigated that make it possible to judge the low attractiveness of the region's employment for young people, which contributes to the outflow of the most qualified personnel to other regions. Certain recommendations are proposed in the field of increasing employment, including the development of nonstandard forms of employment.

Authors: Pradestya Rakha , Balkist Pujia , Imswatama Aritsya
Published: March 2021

Ide kajian teori ini muncul dari fenomena di sekolah tentang langkah-langkah pemecahan masalah dan kemampuan kognitif dari masing-masing siswa, khususnya di SMP Khalifah Boarding School. Setiap siswa memiliki proses pemecahan masalah yang berbeda satu sama lain dan menghadapi kesulitan yang berbeda-beda. Hasil dari kajian teori ini menunjukkan bahwa setiap langkah-langkah pemecahan masalah membutuhkan kemampuan kognitif yang berbeda-beda. Pada langkah pertama, yaitu memahami masalah. Memahami masalah membutuhkan dua kemampuan kognitif dasar, yaitu mengingat (C1) dan memahami (C2). Pada langkah ini, siswa diharuskan memiliki ingatan yang baik dan pemahaman yang mumpuni guna memahami masalah yang dihadapi. Pada langkah kedua, yaitu perencanaan pemecahan masalah. Dalam merencanakan pemecahan masalah, siswa harus bisa menerapkan konsep atau rumus yang diingat dan dipahami sebelumnya agar penyelesaian bisa tercapai. Maka dari itu, dalam merencanakan pemecahan masalah, siswa harus mencapai kemampuan kognitif yang ketiga yaitu menerapkan (C3). Pada langkah ketiga, yaitu menyelesaikan masalah sesuai rencana. Langkah ini adalah langkah yang menentukan apakah pemecahan masalah yang direncanakan benar atau tidak. Maka dari itu, pada langkah ini perlu adanya kemampuan menganalisis (C4) dan mengevaluasi (C5) yang baik. Daya analisis siswa pada langkah ini sangat dibutuhkan karena siswa dituntut untuk menyelesaikan masalah dengan tepat. Informasi yang didapat pada masalah harus lengkap dan cukup guna dimanfaatkan pada pemecahan masalah. Daya evaluasi siswa juga sangat penting pada langkah ini, karena pada proses penyelesaian, tidak bisa dipungkiri kemungkinan kesalahan dapat terjadi. Pada langkah terakhir, yaitu melihat kembali pemecahan masalah. Pada langkah ini, kemungkinan bisa teridentifikasi adanya konsep atau rumus baru yang tercipta pada pemecahan masalah. Maka dari itu, daya mencipta (C6) bisa diketahui pada langkah terakhir pemecahan masalah.
Intuitionistic fuzzy sets in assessing the marginal value of the elements of a multigraph
Authors: Gładysz Barbara , Mercik Jacek
Published: March 2021

The paper presents a method of assessing the value of individual elements of the multigraph, i.e. the value of its vertices and arcs, taking into account the fuzziness of its parameters. The need to take into account the specificity of the existing types of vertices (including logical functions specified on them) and the possibility of multiple relationships between two neighbouring vertices make it necessary to use a multigraph. The assumed basis for the evaluation of the individual elements of the multigraph was their marginal value, which is so-called contribution of a given element to the entire multigraph, assuming that the given element affects not only the adjacent elements directly related to it, but in a way, perhaps indirect, every other element of the multigraph.

Authors: Anna Fraś  , Magdalena Wiśniewska  , Damian Gołębiewski
Published: March 2021

The aim of the study was to estimate the technological value and chemical composition of new common wheat cultivars. The experimental material consisted of grain and flour obtained from 5 cultivars of common wheat, registered in 2017-2019, donated by Plant Breeding Strzelce - IHAR Group Ltd., Co., and harvested in years 2017-2018. The physical characteristics of the grain were determined: milling yield, falling number, gluten content, Zeleny sedimentation index as well as farinograph analysis and laboratory baking were performed. Furthermore, the content of grain nutrients and dietary fiber was determined. Significant differences between cultivars in terms of technological parameters and chemical composition have been demonstrated. The protein content in the grain was in the range of 13.3-15.2%, and the amount of gluten in the range of 28.6-36.8%. The cultivars were characterized by low alpha-amylase activity with an average falling number value 331s. The average water absorption of flour was 62.1%, and the volume of obtained bread was in the range 318-381cm3. The bread of best quality was obtained from the Wilejka cultivar, that was also the richest source of protein. The average dietary fiber content from two years of research was 10.8%, including 7.7% of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), of which 5.8% of the insoluble fraction (I-NSP) and 1.9% of the soluble fraction (S-NSP). The richest source of dietary fiber was the spring wheat Alibi. The tested cultivars were characterized by high technological value and very good chemical composition and can be recommended for use in the food industry.

Published: March 2021

This study’s aim was to examine the influence of agricultural credit on Nigeria's economic growth for the period of 1981-2017. Data is sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and world development indicator (WDI). The detailed objectives are to analyze the effect of the Agricultural credit guarantee scheme fund (ACGSF) and the deposit money bank credit to agric sector (DMBCA) on Nigeria's Economic Growth. Data was analyzed using the test for stationarity, Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL). ARDL is adopted due to the mixed order of stationarity of the variables at levels and first difference. From the research results, it was established, in the long run, that DMBCA is significant and there exists a direct relationship, only in the short run, and the ACGSF is insignificant both the short and long run but has a direct relation in the short run and an inverse relationship in the long-run. Therefore, it is recommended, that the Federal Government should make coordinated attempts to ensure that farmers especially small-scale farmers have easy access to the financial aids and grants provided and the funds should be disbursed appropriately and adequately without any hitch.
Escapism: Between Nature and Culture
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Trufanova Elena O.
Published: March 2021

This paper dwells on the phenomenon of escapism and suggests regarding it as a natural human need that has not only a negative, but also a productive form. The author analyses the idea of escapism as a human escape from natural threats by creating culture and “second nature” (proposed by the cultural geographer Yi-Fu Tuan). It is shown that, indeed, even those human societies that are closest to nature cannot survive without culture and technologies. Further, it is demonstrated that in the late 18th – early 19th centuries because of scientific and industrial revolutions the cultural trend of Romanticism rejects the technogenic society and rationality. Instead, it takes interest in nature as reflecting the emotional, intuitive components of the human spirit. Wild natural landscapes, to which a romanticist wishes to escape, are attractive not just in themselves, but because their contemplation becomes a way for a person to better understand his/her inner world. Wild nature is also appealing to a romanticist because being alone with it a person is free from the pressure of the society that is turning into a mass society with high level of bureaucracy. With the onset of the Internet era, many people tend at first to escape to the virtual world with no limitations, but over time the Internet becomes an integral part of the social life of all people, thus losing its escapist appeal. On the contrary, another wish emerges: to escape from the Internet (which can be regarded as “third nature”) and from the total social control exercised by other Internet users back to the “real” – offline – world. Thus, a conclusion is drawn that escapism is not provoked just by natural threats or social pressure: a person wishes to escape not from nature or culture, but from the situation where he/she feels bad to a better situation, and while searching for such a place a person can act as a creative force that changes the world.
The Phenomenon of the Spirit of Sacrifice: A Philosophical-Anthropological Interpretation
Authors:   Kazan Innovative University named after V.G. Timiryasov, Agapov Oleg D.
Published: March 2021

The consciousness of modernity sees the phenomenon of sacrifice/spirit of sacrifice as something that has to be overcome and driven away from social reality. However, the contemporary anthropological paradigm (M. Scheler, P. Ricœur, E. Levinas, R. Girard, and G. Agamben) proves the spirit of sacrifice to be the main driving force of anthroposociogenesis, the basis for constituting religious, political, economic, and socio-cultural life of humankind. Thus, we can speak not only about different understandings of this phenomenon, but also about the rift between the ideology of “living without sacrifice”, propagated by a number of agents of our time, and evidence presented by the social sciences. The author of this paper believes that social philosophy should view the phenomenon of the spirit of sacrifice in the light of diversity, goal-setting and multi-directionality of its actualization. One of the main goals for contemporary intellectuals (religious and secular) is to achieve maximum clarity in differentiating diverse attitudes and forms of understanding related to this phenomenon. In particular, it is necessary to consistently deconstruct the intention of the ideology of ressentiment (M. Scheler) aimed at simplifying the lifeworld of human beings and form a philosophical and anthropological paradigm of understanding the spirit of sacrifice as a mode of free spiritual practice. The essence of the latter consists in devoting one’s life to the values of family, freedom and fecundity, making it possible to overcome the existing “order of violence” through restraining the processes of mimetic rivalry by detecting, criticising, preventing, stopping and transforming them. According to the author, the richness of meanings hidden in the term sacer represents the quintessence of the social and existential strategies and practices of humankind. This article intends to make a theoretical and methodological step in comprehending the phenomenon of sacrifice/spirit of sacrifice as well as in understanding the contexts of its analysis and development in contemporary society.

Published: March 2021

Nutritional status is an important influence on overall health and wellbeing of a population. One of thevulnerable group is tribal population. The main tribe found in Karnataka is Soliga tribal community,majority of them have low economic status. Hence, malnutrition can be the most common condition arisingin this community due to inadequate intake of dietary nutrients. In this purposive, free-living study, thedetailed information on the population distribution, nutritional status, nutrient intake of Soliga community(30-65 years) were assessed using standardised questionnaires which included health and lifestyle relatedKnowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) questions. Anthropometric measurements were assessed usingstandard method. The dietary and nutrient intakes were collected using food frequency questionnaires and24-hour dietary recall method. The tribal colonies mainly depended on minor forest produce and manuallabour for livelihood, and majority of the study population were economically deprived. The BMI was normalin men, whereas women were undernourished. The 24-hour dietary recall data revealed that the subjectsfollowed 2 major meals, about 97% population consumed mixed type of diet, the intake of macronutrientswas lower than the recommended dietary allowances. The KAP survey revealed that subjects possessed goodhealth and hygiene related knowledge and attitude, but poorly practiced. Constant monitoring of nutritionalstatus and bridging the gaps in nutritional KAP of the tribal population can provide early warning of anydeterioration in their health and nutritional status, hence facilitating effective planning and implementationof nutrition interventions in this unique population.
autoficción televisiva como transmedialización. Una aproximación teórica
Authors: Kaiser Moro Andrea
Published: March 2021

Este artículo se propone estudiar la expansión de la autoficción al ámbito de la ficción televisiva a través de las producciones Curb your Enthusiasm (HBO 2000-), Louie (FX 2010-), Qué fue de Jorge Sanz (Canal+ 2010, Movistar+, 2017), El fin de la comedia (Comedy Central 2014-) y Mira lo que has hecho (Movistar+ 2018-). Se plantea una comprensión de la autoficción en televisión como el encuentro intermedial entre la autoficción literaria, el comedy verité televisivo y el stand-up comedy, donde también operan convenciones autoficcionales. Este trabajo pretende analizar la dimensión transmedial del citado corpus en sus dos sentidos posibles: en un sentido amplio, como adaptación de la autoficción literaria (cuestión íntimamente ligada a la noción de intermedialidad) y, en sentido restringido, como narración multiplataforma que expande el universo ficcional con distintos grados de profundidad. En este último caso, se hará énfasis en el modo en que sus creadores emplean diversos canales para expandir la narración del personaje protagonista explotando la ambigüedad entre éste y la figura pública. Dado que el corpus atraviesa los años clave de la digitalización, se pretende identificar la progresiva incorporación de estrategias transmediales e intermediales en la ficción televisiva de autor, identificando sus condiciones de emergencia en la industria audiovisual y planteando un debate sobre las condiciones de su pacto narrativo.

Authors: Biglova Yuliya N
Published: March 2021

The most common variant of fullerene core functionalization is the [2 + 1] cycloaddition process. Of these, reactions leading to methanofullerenes are the most promising. They are synthesized in two main reactions: nucleophilic cyclopropanation according to the Bingel method and thermal addition of diazo compounds. This present review summarizes the material on the synthesis of monofunctionalized methanofullerenes – analogues of [60]PCBM – based on various diazo compounds. The main cyclopropanating agents for the synthesis of monosubstituted methanofullerenes, the optimal conditions and the mechanism of the [2 + 1] cycloaddition, as well as the practical application of the target products are analyzed.

Published: March 2021

The main problem related to thermal energy is that the thermal energy must be used directly and immediately as generated. For example, the thermal energy of solid waste combustion can be directly utilized for power generation. However, studied of thermal energy storage technology is still placed on the second opinion on waste to heat energy. The heat can be stored using a simple or mobilized system which can store thermal energy and can be brought to somewhere it is needed, for example on domestic heating or drying usage. This article studied and evaluated a micro thermal energy storage system from household waste combustion into a warm water that is great for washing clothes, dishes, shower, and other purposes of household needs. System considered was a simple manner and water is used as the heat energy storage medium. In this study, the equations for initial parameter calculation were presented theoretically based on thermodynamic principle. This paper is hopefully beneficial to the researchers and engineers for preliminary design and development of a heat storage systems technology.
Systematics of Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae): review, phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses
Authors: Kagame Samuel Paul , Gichira Andrew W. , Chen Ling-Yun , Wang Qing-Feng
Published: March 2021

Lobelioideae, the largest subfamily within Campanulaceae, includes 33 genera and approximately1200 species. It is characterized by resupinate flowers with zygomorphic corollas and connate anthers and is widely distributed across the world. The systematics of Lobelioideae has been quite challenging over the years, with different scholars postulating varying theories. To outline major progress and highlight the existing systematic problems in Lobelioideae, we conducted a literature review on this subfamily. Additionally, we conducted phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses for Lobelioideae using plastids and internal transcribed spacer regions. We found that former studies have reached agreement on the southern African origin of Lobelioideae, herbaceous habit and Asian origin of giant lobelioids, the convergent evolution of giant rosette lobelioids, and lastly, the multiple cosmopolitan and independent radiation of lobelioids in Africa, Pacific Basin, and the Hawaiian Islands. Also, Apetahia Baill., Sclerotheca A.DC., and Cyanea Gaudich. are paraphyletic, while Lobelia L., Pratia Gaudich., Centropogon C.Presl, Siphocampylus Pohl, and Isotoma Lindl. are polyphyletic. The taxonomy of these genera, especially Lobelia, is particularly quite frustrating. This calls for further reappraisals using both morphological and molecular data.
Morti senza sepoltura, morti sepolti, e sepolture anomale
Authors: Belcastro Maria Giovanna , Mariotti Valentina
Published: March 2021

I contesti archeologici rappresentano un ambito di studio e di confronto tra Antropologia ed Archeologia nella ricostruzione di comportamenti funerari (individuali, occasionali, non sanciti da regole o saldamente normati dalle comunità di riferimento) nelle società del passato. La loro interpretazione tende a muoversi in scenari dicotomici (o alternativi): assenza di sepoltura vs. sepoltura, sepoltura normale vs. anomala (atipica, non convenzionale, deviante, ecc.), attribuendo alla sepoltura una valenza positiva (benevolenza, attenzione, partecipazione) in contrapposizione a quella negativa (rifiuto, punizione, alienazione) delle cosiddette sepolture anomale. Per definire l’assenza o la presenza di sepoltura, o una condizione anomala rispetto alla norma dalla quale esula, occorre innanzitutto definire cos’è una sepoltura. Il vasto e vario repertorio dei contesti funerari nel tempo e nelle diverse aree geografiche sottolinea la complessità nella lettura e nell’interpretazione dei comportamenti ad essi associati che deve tenere in considerazione, oltre che fattori di ordine religioso, socio-culturale, economico, anche quelli di ordine biologico, demografico, climatico e ambientale, a sottolineare il ruolo, anche nelle manifestazioni funerarie, della nicchia ecologica umana, e cioè dell’interazione tra le comunità umane e l’ambiente.
Le mécanisme de l’actio sepulchri violati en droit romain
Authors: Paturet Arnaud
Published: March 2021

Par sa propension à développer un système solide de protection des choses, le droit romain a engendré la mise en place d’un corps de règles efficaces afin de préserver l’intégrité matérielle des res religiosae et de sanctionner efficacement certains actes jugés impardonnables comme la violation de sépulture. Par l’extension du champ d’action des interdicta et par la création d’un moyen de droit spécifique, l’actio sepulchri violati, était ainsi mis en place un arsenal juridique pour réprimer de manière implacable ceux qui portaient atteinte aux sepulchra et par là même à la religio des morts. L’action de sépulcre violé pouvait être intentée par la personne directement intéressée ou par quiconque aurait constaté le délit. L’examen de ce moyen de droit montre que les Romains avaient construit un système répressif original attestant que le non-respect des tombes portait préjudice à la fois aux particuliers proches des défunts outragés mais aussi et surtout à l’intérêt public. Ce recours doit être considéré comme l’archétype des actiones populares romaines qui pouvaient faire déclencher une procédure sur l’initiative de n’importe quel membre de la communauté. D’un point de vue idéologique, il s’agissait de favoriser la condamnation effective de ceux qui, par leurs actes odieux, préjudiciaient aux valeurs religieuses et collectives de Rome desquelles dépendaient le succès politique, la puissance et l’hégémonie universelle de la cité.
Le tribunal figural de la fiction expressionniste
Authors: Louet Sylvain
Published: March 2021

L’article considère un film singulier, Von morgens bis mitternachts, réalisé par Karl Heinz Martin en 1920. Cette fiction est une œuvre majeure du courant expressionniste allemand à cause de l’originalité de ses inventions visuelles. Cet univers de conte noir, tel un mauvais rêve, accueille des visages peints ou grimés et un décor qui paraît inachevé et maladroit. Nous comparons ce film à des œuvres de peintres ou de graveurs expressionnistes pour examiner comment son positionnement éthique fait juger ses protagonistes principaux et la société évoquée, en regard de la morale chrétienne et de celle que promeut le capitalisme. Autrement dit, le film conduit une étude critique des jugements humains prononcés du point de vue du bien et du mal face à des systèmes de règles d’action et de pensée qui doivent prédéterminer la conduite de chacun dans un cadre culturel donné. D’un côté, la rêverie scénique et le motif de l’instant fécond jouent alors un rôle essentiel. D’un autre côté, le genre du mélodrame est renouvelé car le héros est jugé à travers la sécrétion figurale du mal et le motif de la défiguration.
Nuancen des Anthropomorphismus in Waldemar Bonsels’ Mario und die Tiere (1928)
Authors: Hecht Stefan
Published: March 2021

Le roman pour enfants et adolescents Mario und die Tiere (1928) de Waldemar Bonsels dispose d’un spectre d’anthropomorphisme qui va d’un anthropomorphisme naïf d’enfants jusqu’à l’évocation de la possibilité d’une perspective thériomorphe. En se référant à des recherches de psychologie comportementale, de neuropsychologie et à des études sur l’empathie, cet article tente de rendre plausibles et d’analyser des séquences de contact entre l’homme et l’animal, dans lesquelles le jeune héros anthropomorphise les animaux. Le diagnostic d’une tendance naturelle à anthropomorphiser les animaux est confronté aux effets ambivalents de l’anthropomorphisme, notamment l’acte de domestication des animaux sauvages. À partir d’une analyse du texte littéraire, on se demandera dans quelle mesure un anthropomorphisme critique appliqué pourrait permettre de mieux comprendre les animaux sans les ontologiser ni confondre altérité avec infériorité.
L’infrastructure verte dans l’aire urbaine de Montréal: la multifonctionnalité des espaces végétalisés en question
Authors: Cornet Xavier
Published: March 2021

Depuis une dizaine d’années, on observe un engouement croissant des chercheurs pour les infrastructures vertes dans l’optique d’améliorer la qualité de vie des habitants, notamment en identifiant les services écosystémiques. Cette mise en réseau des espaces végétalisés urbains permet également d’augmenter leurs résiliences face à des perturbations (espèces invasives, dégradations des habitats, mauvaises pratiques de gestions, brassage génétique insuffisant, etc.). Cette multifonctionnalité des espaces végétalisés sera interrogée dans l’agglomération montréalaise. Le paysage végétal sera pris en compte à travers sa qualité écologique et les usages que les urbains en font. Ce paysage végétal est mobilisé grâce à des cartes des formations végétales identifiées par leurs espèces dominantes, ce qui permet une approche plus fine que la plupart des recherches sur les infrastructures vertes par images satellites. Une évaluation critériée nous permettra d’estimer la qualité écologique et l’intérêt social des espaces végétalisés selon leurs situations dans l’espace urbain. De plus, Montréal s’est doté d’un outil d’aménagement qui correspond aux définitions d’une infrastructure verte, les écoterritoires. Les opportunités de développement d’une infrastructure verte seront comparées à la disposition des écoterritoires, dans la perspective d’évaluer leurs potentiels.
La biodiversité, une ressource, mais aussi un fardeau ? Intérêt et limites des notions de services et disservices écosystémiques pour repenser les interactions nature-sociétés dans les territoires ruraux
Authors: Blanco Julien , Moreau Clémence , Guerbois Chloé , Barnaud Cécile , Renaud Pierre-Cyril , Deconchat Marc , Andrieu Émilie
Published: March 2021

Les processus de dégradation et de préservation des ressources naturelles s’accompagnent souvent de tensions et conflits entre les acteurs des territoires. Le cadre des services écosystémiques (SE) est désormais communément utilisé pour analyser ces processus et penser les termes d’une meilleure gouvernance. Nous développons ici l’idée impertinente selon laquelle l’intégration du concept très contesté de disservice écosystémique (DSE), qui qualifie les nuisances associées aux écosystèmes, améliore la compréhension de ces dynamiques et porte les germes d’une meilleure justice environnementale. Nous mobilisons trois cas d’étude dans lesquels les enjeux environnementaux sont sources de SE et DSE: le sanglier dans le Mont Lozère (France), les arbres champêtres dans les coteaux de Gascogne (France) et l’éléphant à Hwange (Zimbabwe). Au total, 119 entretiens semi-directifs ou essais anonymes ont été collectés et analysés selon deux axes autour des SE et DSE: i) les représentations et pratiques, ii) la gouvernance. Nos résultats montrent que le concept de DSE, associé à celui de SE, est utile pour révéler la complexité, voire l’ambivalence, des représentations des acteurs. Il permet en outre d’évaluer le rôle des pratiques dans le renforcement ou l’atténuation de nuisances écologiques qui ne sont pas toujours reliées à des dynamiques écologiques. Ce concept enrichit aussi la compréhension des positionnements des acteurs et des enjeux de gouvernance, permettant par exemple de révéler les contradictions et effets pervers de certaines politiques environnementales. Malgré les controverses dont il a fait l’objet, le concept de DSE semble donc prometteur pour repenser la gouvernance environnementale dans les territoires.
Branding of Tourism-Related Products and Services for a Competitive Advantage in Sri Lanka: An Intellectual Property Perspective
Authors: Punchihewa Nishantha Sampath
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether and to what extent branding and the trademark regime can be used in a business way to extract value from tourism-related products and services in Sri Lanka. From an intellectual property perspective, the study highlights the importance attached to distinctive signs, namely; trademarks, collective and certification marks, and geographical indications in the context of tourism promotion. With the objective to investigate the application of the trademark system to brand touristic offers, this study elucidates the most recent scholarly contributions by employing a systematic literature review method. The findings of this study reveal that, even though Sri Lanka is a top tourist destination, it has barely scratched the surface of its true potential for tourism promotion by the using of branding and the trademark system of the country. This paper offers relevant information to tourism stakeholders for effective use of the trademark rights in the tourism business and proposes avenues for future research in the scholastic field. In terms of originality, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first research article that explores the use of branding and trademark system in the tourism sector in Sri Lanka.
Second-wave AI and Afro-existential norms
Authors: Azeez Abiola , Adeate Tosin
Published: March 2021

The idea of afro-existentialism connotes how Africans make sense of living and the meaning and meaninglessness attached to human existence. Different phenomena inform the way humans interpret existence, and one of such in the contemporary period, with great influence on Africans, is human involvement with non-human intelligence (AI), in its different eruptions. This paper focuses on the second-wave AI, which is a period of improved simulation of natural intelligence, whose singularity principle hypothesizes individualist motives. The paper asks, to what extent do Afroexistential norms accommodate second-wave AI? Partly in disagreement with the claim that AI is for everyone, we argue that second-wave artificial intelligence weakly adapts to Afro-existential practices, which is largely communal, emphasizing shared experience. We justify this claim by arguing that Western ethical patterns, which inform the features of the second-wave AI such as statistical patterns, smart algorithm, specialized hardware, and big data sets, emerge from individualist notions. This paper argues that second-wave AI trends do not reflect African norms of existence being factored into ordering algorithmic patterns that set up AI systems and programs. We infer that Afro-existential practices unsettles with the individualist principle which underlines second-wave AI and therefore, a conversation around the development and application of communal interpretation of AI is important.
The Place of Africa in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Ogbu Esther Obiageli , Okoye Uche Miriam , Ome Gerald Ejiofor
Published: March 2021

One can say that there is inadequate preparation, in Africa, to embrace the fourth industrial revolution. Two schools of thought argue as to the reason for this state of affair. While the Internalist school blames the situation on Africa’s culture and metaphysics, the Externalist school considers external factors as the ultimate explanation for Africa’s plight. We argue that both internal and external factors considered separately are not sufficient as the ultimate explanation for Africa’s lack of preparation, hence the need for a multi-dimensional approach which offers more than the conventional wisdom but critically considers what constitutes a complex explanation and solution for Africa’s plight. Furthermore, we suggest that more attention should be paid to Africa’s existential situation if she must rise to take her place in the emerging revolution. The study initiates a conversation around the theme of Africa’s fate in the looming fourth industrial revolution using phenomenological methods of research.
Effect of nodumax inoculant on morpho-physiological parameters, nutrient content and yield of soybean (Glycine max. L)
Authors: Ogbuehi H.C.
Published: March 2021

The field study was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine of Imo State University, Owerri, to investigate the effect of Nodumax inoculants on Morpho-Pysiological parameters, Nutrient content and yield of Soybean (Glycine max). The experimental design was Randomized Complete Block Design with five treatments and four replications. Treatments consist of Gum Arabic Slurry, Honey Slurry, Powdered milk Slurry, Sugar Slurry ( as adhesive agents) and control. The results obtained indicated that Nodumax inoculation, with adhesive agents especially Gum Arabic improved the Morpho- Physiological parameters such as plant heights, leaf area, leaf area index, leaf area ratio, Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Net Assimilation Rate (NAR) and shoot dry weight compare to the control. Inoculation increased soybean grain yield across the various adhesive agents ranging from 909.45kg/ha for non-inoculated control to 1002.99kg/ha for inoculated using Gum Arabic, as sticker agent. Proximate composition of inoculated seeds was significantly (P<0.05) improved compare to the control. However, it was observed that Nodumax inoculation correspond to increase in soybean growth characteristics which subsequently increased the yield and improved the nutritional status of soybean. This study has shown that the type of adhesive for coating of seed during rhizobium inoculation could impact positive change in growth parameters, Nutritional status and yield of soybean.

Pharmacokinetics and residues of oxolinic acid (OXO) in serum, muscle, liver, and kidney were measured in orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides, snubnose pompano Trachinotus blochii and giant seaperch Lates calcarifer. Fish were treated with OXO after a single-dose trial (60 mg/kg) by oral gavages and repeat-doses of 60 mg/kg of body weight once daily in feed for five consecutive days. Analysis of OXO kinetic profiles, when determined by HPLC provided elimination half-life in muscle were 131, 26, and 85 h for 26-27 °C orange-spotted grouper, snubnose pompano, and giant seaperch, respectively. Depletion studies were conducted the time for OXO concentrations to fall below 0.1 µg/g (the current tolerance set by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) among fish species establishing an adequate depletion period). The mean tissue OXO concentration in the edible portion was below maximum residue level (MRL) of snubnose pompano at 6 d postdosing, for orange-spotted grouper and giant seaperch, at 10 d postdosing, respectively. When possible, depletion data were fitted to a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model. For all test species, the longest withdrawal period of 9 days in snubnose pompano and 15 days in orange-spotted grouper and giant seaperch were calculated because of a safety span (corresponds to 50% of the time point when at which residues fall below the MRL added to the depletion time). These results suggest withdrawal times with reference to human consumption of treated fish, to establish policy guidelines and basic principles regarding the use of OXO for fish-farming, and to fish-farmers for the proper handling to ensure safe fish that the consumer will not be at risk.

Tourism can attract tourists with various factors and the efforts made by the manager of the tourist attraction. The research objective was to determine the quality of service, creativity, promotional media whether or not to influence visitor satisfaction. West Bandung has many interesting and creative tourist attractions, one of which is the Farm house and The Great Asia Afrika. Bandung tourist attractions in Indonesia are in great demand by tourists, before the COVID-19 pandemic, these 19 attractions reached 1,000 visitors and were packed with traffic jams. The existence of the Covid 19 pandemic has greatly affected the entire tourism sector, but researchers conducted research on the 3 X variables on visitor satisfaction during the Covid 19 pandemic. The research methods used were mixed method, quantitative descriptive and qualitative. The research sample used the incidental technique, visitors who were at the time of the study who were respondents were 42 people. The results showed that all X variables proved valid, namely X1, X2, X3 exceeding the R table value of 0.3044. The results of the validity test of the 25 statements used in the study. In variable Y there are 4 statements, the results of the validity test state that the validity exceeds the R table value of 0.3044. the value of the coefficient of determination or R Square of 0.745. that is, the variable under study explains 74.5% and the remaining 25.5% is explained by other variables not examined in this study. The significance value of the T test on service quality is 0.017 <0.05, which means that service quality has a significant effect on customer satisfaction. The significance value of the T test for Creativity is 0.279> 0.05, which means that creativity does not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. And the Promotion Media variable has a significance value of 0.00 <0.005 which means that the Promotion Media has a significant effect on Customer Satisfaction. So it can be concluded that a large and significant influence in this study is service quality on customer satisfaction, media promotion on customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, creativity does not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. In the Covid 19 pandemic, the level of visits has indeed decreased, but it still attracts tourists to visit the Farm House and The Great Asia Africa. The profiles of these attractions are views and photo spots with nuances of Europe, Japan, Korea, Africa, India and Indonesia. Suggestions for future researchers can see from other indicators of customer satisfaction.

Published: March 2021

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI) is the standard treatment according to the current European Society of Cardiology Guidelines. Certain aspects of therapy remain under debate, as periodic changes in the guidelines are enabled by new and thorough research. Objectives – We aimed to evaluate clinical and angiographic prognostic factors in patients presenting with acute STEMI treated with primary PCI. Methods – Demographical, clinical and procedural parameters were retrospectively analysed for 303 consecutive STEMI patients successfully treated with primary PCI. Short-term and long-term outcomes were evaluated. Results – Mean follow-up period was 18 ± 12 months. The studied endpoints were mortality, major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). At admission TIMI fl ow 0 or 1 was found in 233 (76.9%) of patients and was associated with increased mortality and MACE. Of the studied population, 232 (76.6%) patients had MBG 0 and 52 (17.2%) of patients had MBG 1. In these subgroups of patients mortality was higher than in those with MBG of 2 or 3 (p < 0.05). An increase in TIMI fl ow and MBG score of at least 2 points after successful reperfusion was correlated with decreased mortality and improvement in the LVEF (p < 0.05). 46 (15.2%) of patients presented with atrial fibrillation while 277 (91.4 %) of patients presented with hypertension at admission. These clinical characteristics were associated with negative survival in STEMI patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion – TIMI fl ow grade and MBG were strong predictors for mortality and cardiovascular events in STEMI patients undergoing primary coronary artery angioplasty. Atrial fibrillation and presence of hypertension predict survival in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI.
