Authors: Ugochukwu Chiemezie Chukwuka
Published: July 2021

The 2019 corruption perception index report attest to the fact that corruption is on the increase in Nigeria. With the level of widespread corruption in Nigeria, it needs to be tackled for the country to remain relevant among countries of the world. This work is structured to examine how social media have helped in the fight against corruption. The internet has helped the growth of social media in Nigeria because with Smartphone’s and handheld devices,  one  can  easily  connect to  the social  media  platform.  Technology  determinism  theory  and  Agenda-setting theory of communication were used for the study. Library research method was adopted for the study and relevant information about corruption and social media from journals, newspapers and books were analyzed. This study concludes among others that social media are effective in the fight against corruption. It exposes corrupt practices and persons and ensures that persons indicted are prosecuted. The study recommends, among others that government should effectively use social media handles and encourage whistle blowing to help fight corruption in Nigeria.
NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN
Authors: Ekweonu Chinedu Lawrence
Published: July 2021

This study examined the coverage of domestic violence against women in select Nigerian dailies. Among the national dailies under review are Daily Sun, Vanguard and Guardian newspapers. The researcher used the content analysis research method in reviewing the manifest contents of the three papers from March 23rd to June 2020. The study period covered a total of 100 days which translates to 300 publications of the three newspapers under investigation. The specific objectives of the study are to ascertain whether the newspapers give prominence to domestic violence; find the dominant source of interventions for victims of domestic violence against women; observe whether the newspapers gave adequate publications to the rising domestic violence against women and find out if the newspapers actually follow-up domestic violence cases within the lockdown in their publications. The social responsibility and Agenda-setting theories served as the theoretical framework for the study. Findings revealed that the newspapers neither gave prominence nor adequate coverage to domestic violence against women within the lockdown period. It was also found that the newspapers hardly follow-up their stories on domestic violence within the period.  The researcher concluded that the select newspapers did not do well in their coverage of domestic violence in the period under investigation by publishing only 115 news items on such crimes within the period. The study recommended among others that the media should as a respect to their social responsibility functions expose the people to the harmful effects of domestic violence against women in the country.

Accordingly, the researcher recommends that proper checks should be done to ascertain the authenticity of the news got via social media.
PRESS COVERAGE OF ETHNIC INTEREST GROUPS IN NIGERIA: A STUDY OF SELECTED NATIONAL DAILIES
Authors: Duru Henry Chigozie
Published: July 2021

Ethnic interest groups constitute influential actors in Nigeria’s sphere of political engagement and public discourse generally. These groups, like other social actors, largely rely on mass media to be seen and heard, and the way media report them tends to shape public perception and engagement with the groups. Therefore, this paper examined press coverage of ethnic interest groups in Nigeria. Situated within the framework of agenda setting and framing theories, the study was designed as a content analysis. Four national dailies –Daily Sun, Vanguard, The Nation and Daily Trust – were purposively selected between May 29, 2015 and May 29, 2017, while 432 editions (108 issues for each paper) were selected. Findings showed that newspapers gave frequent and prominent coverage to ethnic interest groups in Nigeria. Reports on the groups revolved mainly around advocacy and antagonistic communication from the groups. The reports were slanted to favour ethnic groups of the respective owners. The study concluded that the continued visibility enjoyed by ethnicity-related issues in the sphere of public discourse in Nigeria may be partly explained by the frequent and prominent coverage given to them by newspapers, and that newspapers’ slanting of their reports in favour of ethnicity of their owners underscores their role in reinforcing ethnic consciousness and divisiveness in Nigeria as found by several previous studies. The study recommended, among others, more efforts by the press towards objectivity and non-sensationalism in their reportage of ethnicity.

Analysis of Platelet Shape Al2O3 and TiO2 on Heat Generative Hydromagnetic Nanofluids for the Base Fluid C2H6O2 in a Vertical Channel of Porous Medium
Authors: HAZARIKA Silpi , AHMED Sahin , CHAMKHA Ali J.
Published: July 2021

An analytical investigation is performed on the unsteady hydromagnetic flow of nanoparticles Al2O3 and TiO2 in the EG base fluid through a saturated porous medium bounded by two vertical surfaces with heat generation and no-slip boundary conditions. The physics of initial and boundary conditions is designated with the flow model's non-linear partial differential equations. The analytical expressions of nanofluid velocity and temperature with the channel are derived, and Matlab Codes are used to plot the significant results for physical variables. From the physical point of view for nanofluid velocity and temperature results, the base fluid C2H6O2 has a higher viscosity and thermal conductivity than that of water. Physically, the platelet shape Al2O3 nanofluid has the highest velocity than TiO2 nanofluid. It is found that the velocity of nanofluid enhanced the porosity and nanoparticles volume fraction for Al2O3 - EG and TiO2 - EG base nanofluids. However, this trend is reversed for the effects of heat generation. Obtained results indicate that an increase in nanoparticles volume fraction raises the skin friction near the surface, but profiles gradually become linear, due to less frictional effects of nanoparticles. Moreover, due to higher values of nanoparticles volume fraction, the thermal conductivity is raised, and thus the thickness of the thermal boundary layer is declined. The results show that the method provides excellent approximations to the analytical solution of nonlinear system with high accuracy. Metal oxide nanoparticles have wide applications in various fields due to their small sizes, such as the pharmaceutical industry and biomedical engineering.
HIGHLIGHTS

Impact of platelet shape Al2O3 and TiO2 for base fluid C2H6O2 is studied
In Couette and Poiseuille flow, nanoparticles play a vital role to enhance the heat transfer
The infinite series solution has been used for solving the non-linear PDE’s
The uses of Al2O3 and TiO2 in significant heat transfer applications is overviewed

Changes in Physico-Chemical and Microbiological Properties in Thai Cocoa Bean Fermentation
Authors: TIKAPUNYA Tiparat
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this research is to investigate the quality-related physical, chemical, and microbiological changes in Thai cocoa beans during fermentation in 2 types of wooden containers. The results will compose a book of guidelines for good Thai cocoa fermentation in order to educate Thai farmers. Fresh Thai cocoa beans have a low pH value (5.0 - 5.5) compared to those from other countries in general (6.0 - 7.0). However, fermented temperature is able to reach 40 - 45 °C in 6 days, which is a main criteria for finishing cocoa fermentation. The color of fresh cocoa beans changes from white to brown within 2 days; after that, cocoa beans are mixed from the top to the bottom of the containers. Three groups of microorganism are evaluated with 3 different sampling points in wooden containers. The results reveal that yeast is grown quickly in 2 days on the top of containers, and then acetic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacteria are grown by the utilized yeast’s metabolites. These behaviors were found in both of the 2 wooden containers; however, a heap of cocoa beans (200 - 250 kgs) in a wooden box showed better quality of cocoa fermentation than a small volume (40 - 50 kgs) in a wooden tray.

HIGHLIGHTS

Understanding changes in Thai cocoa beans fermentation based on traditional method

Two type of wooden containers applied for comparing all quality-related cocoa fermentation

Proper cocoa beans fermentation process composed to a book of guideline for Thai Farmers

Published: July 2021

The broad acknowledgement of cloud-based services in the healthcare area has achieved useful and supportive exchange of Healthcare Records among a couple of components of the e-Health frameworks. In any case, storing the secret health information to cloud servers is vulnerable to disclosure or burglary and requires the enhancement of methodologies that ensure the security of the PHRs. Hence analyzed a methodology for secure sharing of the records in the cloud. The proposed system guarantees patient-centric control on the records and preserves the grouping of the records. The patients store the encoded records on the cloud servers and explicitly give access to different segments of records to different sorts of people. A semi-trusted proxy called ’Setup and Re-encryption Server’ (SRS) is acquainted with setting up data users with a general/private key, which combines and delivers there encryption keys. In addition, it uses Blockchain technology to share these records and secure privacy.

Authors: Schirgi Thomas
Published: July 2021

In contrast to the increasing degree of automation in the production industry, commissioning and maintenance activities will essentially be limited to manual activities. Production involves repetitive actions that are manageable and clearly defined as a process. Unlike this, commissioning and maintenance have to deal with uncontrollable, undefined, and non - standardized processes. The paper provides a framework for a multimedia assistance system for singletons. It was found that the paradigm has to consist of five key components to provide tailored assistance to customers. These key components are Expertise, Infrastructure, Application & Platforms, Security & Privacy and Business Process & Business Model. The resulting stack and the overlaying business model are called "CaRE – Custom Assistance for Remote Employees". With a user-centered approach, the needs of the target group were identified. Based on this, the framework was implemented in the form of a prototypical application. To check, whether the assumptions regarding a Multimedia Assistance System are correct, the prototypical developed application was tested with aremote-usability test.

Pathophysiology of neuropathic pain
Authors: Kwon Ohyun
Published: July 2021

Background: Neuropathic pain is notoriously difficult to manage properly, not only because of its varied nature and the absence of objective diagnostic tools but also because of extensive reciprocal neuronal interactive pathogenic mechanism from the molecular level to patient’s own psychophysical characteristics. This paper briefly reviews the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain to the level of clinicians’ interest and its potential in clinical practiceCurrent Concepts: Recent research progress now allows us to obtain a bird view of neuropathic pain pathophysiology: peripheral and central sensitization. For peripheral sensitization, a local inflammatory milieu of the injured nerve primarily drives sequential phenotypic changes, which are critical and shared by both neuropathic and inflammatory pain. Central sensitization is led either by the hyperexcitability of the second-order afferent neuron itself or loss of physiological inhibitory control of the transmission of pain signal to the higher nervous system. Peripheral and central sensitization work synergistically but can also introduce neuropathic pain alone.Discussion and Conclusion: The cause of neuropathic pain is diverse, and understanding of its pathophysiology is still insufficient to realize a mechanism-based approach to clinical phenotypes or therapeutic applications. In dealing with chronic neuropathic pain, it is highly desirable to assess key aspects of a patient’s pain based on a plausible mechanism and select the best management method accordingly.
Evaluation and diagnosis of neuropathic pain
Authors: Oh Jeeyoung
Published: July 2021

Background: Thorough evaluation and an accurate diagnosis of neuropathic pain are essential for effective treatment. The therapeutic approach and choice of medication for neuropathic pain are different from those for other kinds of nociceptive pain. Therefore, this study aimed to present the current evaluation and diagnostic methods for neuropathic pain.Current Concepts: Grading of the certainty of the presence of neuropathic pain according to the results of clinical history, neurological examination, and confirmatory tests improves the diagnosis of neuropathic pain. The Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs, Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire, Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions, and PainDETECT are mainly used for neuropathic pain screening. During physical examination, sensory nerve function tests are more critical than other nervous system examination items, including the test of the sense of touch with a cotton swab and the sense of vibration with a tuning fork. In addition, pain sensation using pins and temperature sensation using cold metal are tested to check for nociceptive pathway abnormalities. Diagnostic tests include imaging tests, nerve conduction tests, and other neurophysiological tests, such as quantitative sensory function tests, autonomic nerve function tests, and blood tests.Discussion and Conclusion: To diagnose neuropathic pain, physicians should first determine whether patient symptoms match the characteristics of neuropathic pain. If there is a possibility of neuropathic pain, physicians should perform a neurological screening examination and a proper diagnostic test to identify the cause of pain.
Adaptive Noise Filter for Real-Time Stress ECG Signal Analysis
Authors:   Vietnam National University, Hoang Van Manh , Pham Manh Thang
Published: July 2021

The stress Electrocardiogram (ECG) gives more efficient results for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, which may not be apparent when the patients are at rest. However, the noise produced by the movement of the patient and the environment often contaminates the ECG signal. Motion artifact is the most prevalent and difficult type of interference to filter in stress test ECG. It corrupts the quality of the desired signal thus reducing the reliability of the stress test. In this work, we first describe a quantitative study of adaptive filtering for processing the stress ECG signals. The proposed method uses the motion information obtained from a 3-axis accelerometer as a noise reference signal for the adaptive filter and the optimal weight of the adaptive filter is adjusted by the Modified Error Data Normalized Step-Size (MEDNSS) algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on the stress ECG signal from the subject.

Published: July 2021

Given a simple undirected graph G=(V, E), the density of a subgraph on vertex set S is defined as a ratio between the number of edges |E(S)| and the number of vertices |S|, where E(S) is the set of edges induced by vertices in S. Finding the maximum density subgraph has become an intense study in recent years, especially in the social network era. Being based on a greedy algorithm that connects with a suitable graph data structure, we have reduced its time complexity by using a randomized binary search tree, also called treap. We make the complexity analysis in both time and memory requirements, including computational experiments in large scale real networks.
Fuzzy Adaptive Controller Design for IPMSM with System Uncertainties and Disturbances Considering
Authors:   Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Thi-Thuy Vu Nga
Published: July 2021

This paper proposed a T-S fuzzy model based adaptive fuzzy controller for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motors. Firstly, the T-S fuzzy model of the system is built based on the nonlinear dynamic model. Next, the adaptive fuzzy controller is designed to deal with the problems of system uncertainties and external disturbances. This controller includes two phases, one is for system stability and one for compensating the effect of the unknown components. The stability of the system, as well as the convergence of the adaptive law, is mathematically proven through Lyapunov theory. Finally, some simulations are done to verify the effectiveness of the presented scheme. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a good response to the change of reference input, the system parameters variation, and the sudden change of the load torque.

Published: July 2021

Using renewable energy sources (RES) to face energy shortages in the context of rising load demand is a central issue in national power system planning. With low investment rates, rapid return on capital as well as many incentives from the government, solar energy is being more invested than other types of RES, as it can be seen as a rooftop and large-scale Photovoltaic (LSPV) system. However, if the LSPV penetrates too much into the grid, it will weaken the stability of the system, especially when a fault occurs. This paper aims to evaluate the transient stability of an actual distribution grid (DG) under different penetration levels of LSPV by ETAP software. The frequency and voltage responses will be presented in the results along with the rotor angle variation of a conventional generator located near the LSPV.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) based on methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) of two types have been synthesized (the difference in types is based on the use of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA) as a crosslinking agent). Salts of cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, and europium were used as templates for the synthesis. Control samples of Molecularly imprinted polymers were also synthesized (samples synthesized in exactly the same way, but without the templates).Electrochemical and conformational behavior of the synthesized structures in an aqueous medium was studied. Molecularly imprinted polymers are weakly exposed to swelling and ionization due to tight crosslinking, while it should be noted that a high degree of crosslinking leads to high mechanical strength of macromolecular structures.Comparison of the measured parameters (electrical conductivity, pH) of molecularly imprinted polymers containing a template with control samples of MIP indicate the presence of cavities complementary to the template (rare-earth metal ion) used in their synthesis. In the presence of MIP synthesized in the presence of EGDMA (MIP-1) higher values of electrical conductivity and pH are observed as compared to MIP synthesized in the presence of DEGDMA (MIP-2) due to less tight crosslinking.

One of the biggest challenges in oil and gas production projects is dealing with the various types of corrosion to which certain parts of field equipment are exposed. Selecting the right corrosion inhibitor for the specific environment is extremely important. Choosing inhibitors for a particular location can be a difficult task because there are many factors to be considered. Understanding the corrosion problems that can arise is important in the oil and gas industry, and knowledge of which inhibitors to use to deal with general and localized corrosion will save time and money in the long run. This article presents the results of studies of various brands of domestic and foreign corrosion inhibitors for use in the Uzen field: physical and chemical characteristics (density, viscosity, freezing temperature, mass fraction of active substance, compatibility with field waters, amine number), efficiency of corrosion inhibitors in laboratory conditions and on a bench simulating field reservoir conditions, taking into account pressure, temperature, fluid flow rate, as well as aggressive components - hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. In addition, studies of corrosion inhibitors' effect on the process of preparation of production are also given.

Catalysts based on vanadium pentoxide modified by Ti, Sn, Zr and W oxides were tested in the oxidative ammonolysis of 4-methylpyridine. The role of the main process parameters such as temperature, the ratio of the initial components in the conversion of the methyl group to the nitrile one, and the optimal conditions for the oxidative ammonolysis of 4-methylpyridine were determined. It is determined that the V-Ti-Zr-O-catalyst and the sample containing 9% of tungsten oxide are superior in catalytic activity to the V-Ti-Zr-Sn-O contact. Conditions that ensure a high selectivity for the formation of 4-cyanopyridine were found. The highest yield of the target product (85-86%) was obtained on V-Ti-Zr-W-O at 270 °C, and the yield of 4-cyanopyridine was 87.5% at 310° C on the V-Ti-Zr-Sn-O catalyst. The phase composition and structural changes occurring in modified vanadium oxide catalysts have been studied. It is determined that mixed V-Ti-Zr-Sn-O and V-Ti-Zr-W-O catalysts contain ZrV2O7, the monoclinic modification of ZrO2 (baddeleyite), TiO2 (anatase), SnO2, WO3, and V2O5. In catalysts, it can exist in small amounts as a separate VO2 phase. The V-Ti-Zr-W-O catalyst showed the best catalytic properties. It has highactivity and selectivity towards 4-cyanopyridine.

The sorption properties of natural montmorillonite from the Tagan deposit with respect to heavy metal cations were researched on the model system "Mn2+–Co2+– Ni2+–V4+–H2O–montmorillonite". The influence of temperature, duration of the process and concentration of solutions, as well as the norm of the sorbent on the degree of sorption of cations is considered. The optimal conditions for the sorption process (25о С, 30 min, Т:Ж = 1,5:100) have been determined, at which the degree of solution purification is up to 86.36% cations of Co2+, 85.59% of Ni2+, 82.64% of Mn2+ and 52.29% of V4+. The nature of the sorption curves is determined by the nature of the sorbed cation. According to the absorption efficiency of natural montmorillonite, ions are arranged in the following order: Ni2+≥ Co2+> Mn2+> V4+. The results of the conducted studies indicate the possibility of effective use of bentonite clays of the Tagan field in the purification of wastewater from heavy metal cations

The water management Basin is a geoecological system, the core of which is rivers, and the connecting elements are waste water. Therefore, it is very important to study and recognize not only the Basic Laws of the functioning of this geosystem, but also the processes that ensure its Sustainable Development and dynamics of evolution and allow us to develop reliable and at the same time safe water use management methods for Natural Resources. The article considers the geoecological situation of the Alakol watershed. Physical and chemical studies of the Alakol Basin, the lake system located on the territory of two administrative districts of East Kazakhstan region and Alakol District of Almaty region were carried out according to St RK 1432-2005. Territorial recreational systems located on the shores of the lake near the villages of Akshi, Koktuma, Kabanbai, Koktal are subject to the greatest anthropogenic impact in the process of recreational use, so the basis of our research is an assessment of their geoecological state. According to the results of research in the waters of the Alakol water reservoir on hydromorphological parameters, a large number of dangerous pollutants, including compounds of heavy metals, pesticides, ammonia, ammonium, ammonium, ammonium, ammonium. Based on this analysis, it is possible to determine the specifics of the formation of the level of contamination in the basin of Lake Alakol, as well as to compare the level of contamination and classify the range of concentrations of the element under study. This, in turn, will allow the public to assess the level of pollution of water resources and adopt appropriate solutions.

The article describes methods for producing polymeric materials based on tetra-carboxylic acid dianhydrides obtained by photochemical or solar irradiation from furan and maleic anhydride. The procedure of synthesis of aryl-alicyclic polyimides based on 7-оxsоdiciklo (2,2,1)-gepten -2,3- dicarboxylic acid(MAF) and diaminodiphenyl oxide diamines (DADFO) and dioxytriphenyldiamine (DOTFDA) in polar aprotic amide-type solvents has been studied in detail in the presence of a basic catalyst type: trimethyl-amine.The nature and reactivity of staring monomers affect the process of obtaining polyimides. The optimal conditions for obtaining polyimides with intrinsic viscosity values of 1.30-1.64 dl/g have been found. Physicochemical, electrical and thermal proper-ties of the synthesized polyimides have been investigated. It was found that they have increased elasticity, high tensile strength. Elongation at break of polyimide films reaches 30-43%, tensile strength is 130-180 MPa. According to their electrical properties, these polyimides are classified as medium-frequency dielectrics. In addition, they differ in thermoplasticity in the range from 210 ºС to 250 ºС, have thermal stability and do not decompose at heating in air to temperatures of 335-390 ºС, and the presence of oxide groups in the structure of polymers increases the solubility of polyimides.

Both of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infections are the most common Mycoplasma infection in domestic poultry. The disease is associated with economic losses in poultry. MG and MS are commonly spread within chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) and turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo domesticus) flocks; however, they are frequently isolated from quails (Coturnix coturnix) and several avian species. Diagnosis of MG or MS infections is confirmed by isolating the organism in a cell-free medium or directly detecting its DNA in infected tissues or swab samples. Serological tests are also widely used for diagnosis. However, advances in molecular biology represented a rapid and sensitive alternative to the traditional culture methods requiring specialized techniques and sophisticated reagents. Several Mycoplasma molecular diagnostic tests are implemented: including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), arbitrary primed polymerase chain reactions (AP‐PCR), and Multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (Multiplex MGMS). Current control practices against Mycoplasma infection include intense biosecurity, biosurveillance, medication, and vaccination. However, the egg-borne nature of avian Mycoplasma infection complicates controlling the infection. This review focuses on the advances in diagnosis and control of avian Mycoplasma infection, especially MG and MS infections.

Given the high importance of animal uses for human beings, avoidance of contact with animals is far from straightforward, even if there is a risk of zoonotic diseases. Animal products or byproducts are essential sources of food for humans. Also, there are large numbers of companion animals worldwide which are important for the soundness of mental health for the owners. Understanding of the disease in animals is of paramount importance to control and prevent transmission to humans. Zoonotic protozoan parasites, including malaria, babesiosis, trypanosomiasis, toxoplasmosis and cryptosporidiosis, can cause severe infections to humans, and some of them can drastically affect both economy and society. Impacts of such infections are aggravated when asymptomatic animals being in contact with susceptible individuals, including infants, pregnant women or immunocompromised people. Malaria, babesiosis and trypanosomiasis are vector-borne diseases that cause hemolytic anemia and high fever. Toxoplasmosis is a congenitally transmitted infection characterized by abortion and congenital abnormalities in infected persons and animals. Cryptosporidiosis is a highly contagious disease affecting humans and various animal species, and diarrhea is the main clinical form. These infections are globally distributed and affect various demographics. However, awareness of these often neglected diseases in almost all countries and communities is required to protect animals, owners, and customers. Thus, this review is aimed to provide the recent and current knowledge on transmission, epidemiology and control of some protozoan diseases of zoonotic importance.
