Language and the African Philosophical Traditions
Authors: Abímbọ́lá Kọ́lá
Published: January 2022

Are there universal principles, categories, or forms of reasoning that apply to all aspects of human experience—irrespective of culture and epoch? Numerous scholars have explored this very question from Africana perspectives: Kwasi Wiredu (1996) explored the philosophical issue of whether there are culturally defined values and concepts; Hallen and Sodipo (1986) examined the question of whether there are unique African indigenous systems of knowledge; Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o (1994) evaluated the role of colonialism in the language of African literature; Oyerò nkẹ ́ ́ Oyěwumi (1997) argued that “gender” is a Western cultural invention that is foreign to Yorùbá systems of sociation; and Helen Veran (2001) argued that even though science, mathematics, and logic are not culturally relative, “certainty” is nonetheless derived from cultural practices and associations. Building on these and other works, this essay argues that: (i) incommensurability of “worldviews,” “perspectives,” “paradigms,” or “conceptual schemes” springs from deeper, more fundamental cognitive categories of logic that are coded into natural languages; and that (ii) consequently, as long as African reflective reasoning is expressed solely (or predominantly) in European languages, the authenticity of the “African” in African philosophy is questionable.
Dialetics and Structural Organization in the Ẹ̀bìbì Festival Performances of the Ẹ̀pẹ́ People in Lagos State, Nigeria
Authors: Adebua Babatunde Olanrewaju , Sotunsa Mobolanle Ebunoluwa
Published: January 2022

There is growing interest in the study of festivals by literary scholars in African orature. In Nigeria, the festival resources of the Ìjèbú in southwest ̣ - ern Nigeria, specifically the Èbìbì ̣ festival, has been given cursory multi-disciplinary attention in areas such as anthropology, sociology, religions and history. However, scant attention has been paid to the literariness of this corpus of festivals. Moreover, the variety of the festival celebrated by the Èpẹ́ ̣ people in the coastal area of the Ìjẹ̀bú people appears to have been neglected in previous studies of Ìjẹ̀bu festivals. Using salient aspects of literary semiot ́ - ics, this paper explores the Èbìbì ̣ festival of the Èpẹ́ ̣ people by undertaking a literary evaluation of the structural organization, dialetics and interconnectedness of the performances. Observations revealed that levels of structural organization are interconnected to various degrees. Narrative and textual structures are maintained in spite of translations into other languages. Èbìbì ̣ is structured beginning with formulaic exchanges, invocation by the Oluwo and the beating of the sacred Gbẹ̀du drums. Performers sometimes use the formula within a performance to develop oral text. Actions include flogging, as well as acrobatic and gymnastic displays by the performers. The costumes and masks have motifs of riverine animals and fishing accessories. Color codes are symbolically white for cleansing, green for fertility, brown for earth and red for positive energy. The Èbìbì ̣ festival celebrated in Èpẹ́ ̣ is indeed rich in oral 200 Babatunde Olanrewaju Adebua and Mobolanle Ebunoluwa Sotunsa aesthetic forms such as narration, wording, texture and dramatization which enhance its performance aesthetics to a large degree.
Disability and Human Diversity: A Reinterpretation of Ẹni-òòṣà1 Philosophy in Yorùbá Belief
Authors: Adegbindin Omotade
Published: January 2022

As an exercise in African philosophy, this paper examines and demonstrates the limitations of the two popular extremes in disability studies, namely, the medical and social models of disability. While the former is essentialist in rendering disability as a fixed condition and as an individual problem to be confronted with medical intervention, the latter identifies it as a social problem that requires social intervention. The paper employs the methods of hermeneutics, critical and conceptual analyses to facilitate an understanding that, within the context of Yorùbá belief, disability goes beyond the realm of human beings and involves the active participation of Yorùbá deities, especially Òrìṣà-ńlá or Ọbàtálá. Consequently, it questions the assumptions associated with the recognition of the dichotomy between “normality” and “abnormality” and confronts the mystical and/or mythographic representation of ẹni-òòṣà or persons with disabilities with a view to offering new insights into how persons with disabilities ought to be conceptualized in order to promote their inherent human dignity.
The Yorùbá Social Values in Ọbasá’s Poetry
Authors: Hamzat Saudat Adebisi Olayide , Adeosun Hezekiah Olufemi
Published: January 2022

Among the social values which equip the Yorùbá person are honesty, transparency, accountability, integrity, justice, fair-play, family sense, hard work, and truthfulness. The basic values of the people determine their behavior and what they direct their energy toward. Yorùbá social values have received serious attention from scholars. However, the ideology that inform the social values have not been given a deserved attention. The main aim of this essay is to investigate the Yorùbá social values in Ọbasá’s poetry texts – Àwọn Akéwì I-III (1924, 1934, and 1945). The objective of the study is to examine the ideology which inform the social values, and which construct power. The paper also analyzes the extent to which the poet engages the ideology as exemplified in his poetry texts. In addition, the essay highlights the relevance of Ọbasá’s works to the contemporary Yorùbá society, and the literary devices employed by the poet to put across his message. The study employs descriptive and analytical methods using a New Historicism theory, which calls for a recovery of the ideology that gave birth to a text. The findings of this study reveal the Yorùbá philosophical thoughts on social values, and Obasa ͎’s interrogation of the phil ́ - osophical thoughts, which revere physical strength, wealth, position, children, 88 Saudat Adébísí O͎láyídé Hamzat & Hezekiah Olúfé͎mi Adeodun and knowledge as power. The study concludes that Ọbasá was a versatile and a thorough-bred poet whose poems call attention to the Yorùbá social values, to deconstruct and redefine power in a way that promote development. The study suggests that Ọbasá’s poems be studied holistically, and recommends that the poems should be reprinted and made available for scholarly work in institutions of learning.
A Critical Assessment of Select Editorial Opinions in The Yoruba News
Authors: Olunlade Taiwo
Published: January 2022

The emergence of new technologies could not have come at a more auspicious moment, for we learn early everything we know about the world around us through one form of the media or another. Before the advent of this impressive array of media technology, information dissemination was limited to the newspaper, radio, or television. Newspapers, in particular, were in vantage position at molding public opinion and creating mass sensibilities on almost every imaginable issue. Tis was also the case with The Yoruba News, printed and published by D. A. Obasa in Ibadan, especially through its editorial opinions for over two decades from 1924-1945. Tis essay is an attempt to revisit selected editions of the newspaper for critical re-assessment of the editorial opinions as regards topical issues of that period.
Language and Style in Ọbasa’s Poetry
Authors: Afọlabi Ọlabimtan (deceased)
Published: January 2022

Denrele Adetimkan Obasa (1878-1948) was a great Yoruba poet in his own ́ right. It was he who provided ‘the link between traditional beliefs and writing in the modern vein.’2 The three volumes of Yorùbá poetry produced by him between 1927 and 1945 had a great impact not only on the adults who were impressed by the wealth of traditional sayings in his poems, but also on the school children who were made to learn some of the poems by heart.3 In this paper I intend to answer the question: In what does Obasa’s greatness as ̣ a poet consist? In the Ìjúbà (prologue) to Iwe ̀ ́ Kinni ́ ́ Awo ̀ n Ake ̣ wi, he writes: ̀

O di odụ ́n mó ̣kànléló ̣gbò ̣n nísisiyi (AD 1896) ti mo ti be ́ ̀ ̣re si ̀ ś aạ ́yan kíko -̣́ jo ̣ àwon o ̣ ̀ ̣rò ̣ ogbo ̣ ́ ̣n àtaiyebáyé ti àwon baba n ̣ ́là wa, tí i máa hán jade nínú orin, ègè, rárà, ìjálà, ìpesạ ̀, àròfò ̣, oríkì, ìlù, fèrè àti àgbékà ò ̣ro ̣̀ won…̣ (Obasa 1927: i)

 (For the past thirtyone years (1896-1927) I have been assembling Yorùbá traditional sayings which embody the wisdom of our fore-fathers. Tese sayings are found in songs and in various forms of Yorùbá poetry; egè, ̀ rará , i ̀ ̀jála, i ́ pè sạ , à rò ̀fo, ori ̣̀ ́ki, and in the language of the drum and the ̀ fute.)
Yorùbá Films in Time Perspective: Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Akinsola Ifeoluwa Theophilus
Published: January 2022

This essay (re)views the development of Yoruba films according to the Yoruba traditional worldview about time: a term used synonymously with life, season or period, for it is not linear but cyclical, just as life, it is not straight. Therefore, the present trend in the Yoruba film industry, whereby skilled film producers now have their films premiered at and release to only cinemas where they could be watched legally and piracy is prevented, is seen in this paper as a return to the origin of the development of the Yoruba films. The Yoruba films started in 1976 at the cinema (past), metamorphosed into video mode in the 1990s which is still in place (present) and gradually going back to the cinema and the stage mode (future from now), which was its origin because the Ogunde dramatic tradition: a stage medium, is agreed as Yoruba film precursor.

Published: January 2022

Image segmentation is the fundamental step to analyze images and extract data from them. This paper concentrates on the idea behind the basic methods used. Image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments(i. e. sets of pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries(line, curve) in image. The Image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image. Each of pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristics colour, intensity or texture. The various segmentation techniques discussed in this paper.

Remote Pipeline Monitoring Security System
Authors: Ifeoma V. Ngonadi  , Sunday Ajiroghene
Published: January 2022

Pipelines are regarded as the lifelines of the national economy of most oil producing countries. This is because these pipelines which cover thousands of kilometers are used to transport large volumes of refined and unrefined petroleum products, crude oil and natural gas. These pipelines often come under terrorist attacks and vandalism which can lead to pollution problems, theft of the contents of the pipeline and huge economic loss. In view of this, it is very necessary that these pipelines are monitored from time to time to forestall these losses. Manual monitoring of pipelines is a very expensive process and also dangerous especially in hazardous environments. Remote monitoring of these pipelines involves monitoring the pipelines from remote locations. This research work monitors pipelines by using remote monitoring to wirelessly monitor the pipelines in real time and reports to the control center whenever it gets a value above the threshold value. The parameters monitored are temperature around the pipeline, relative humidity surrounding the pipeline, dew point of the pipeline environment, the amount of carbon monoxide present, the amount of liquefied petroleum gas leakages, the movement of people around the facility, fire and smoke. A monitoring device for monitoring these parameters was designed and constructed and a software was developed in C- language which interfaced with the hardware to provide a robust solution for remotely monitoring the pipelines. The result of this research effort is a robust solution for the wireless monitoring of the pipelines of the different parameters embedded together.
Cohort's Analysis in eCommerce
Authors: Manali M Walanj
Published: January 2022

Cohort analysis treats an outcome variable as a function of cohort membership, age, and period. The linear dependency of the three temporal dimensions always creates an identification problem. Resolution of this problem requires external knowledge that is often difficult to acquire. Most satisfactory is the introduction of variables held to measure the dimensions that underlie at least one of age, period and cohort. Such measured, substantive variables can provide direct tests of cohort-based explanations. A Promising path for future technical development is a hierarchical Bayes approach, which treats appropriately defined cohort, age, and period contrasts as randomly distributed and allows for their dependence on substantive, measured variables. Models that include age, period, and cohort can also include interactions between these dimensions, but not all such interactions are identified. This extends the realism of cohort models, since many phenomena seem to require specifications that allow for interactions between two or more of age, period, and cohort. Panel studies and cross-sectional studies with retrospective information not only support cohort analyses, they engender them. These longitudinal data structures do not, however, provide the basis for a solution to the identification problem.[5]

Detailed Study of Cloud Storage Services on Aws Cloud (Amazon Web Services)
Authors: Er. Krishan Kumar  , Shipra
Published: January 2022

This research revolves around understanding the Cloud Storage Services offered by world's most famous Cloud Provider Amazon Web Services (AWS). We will be covering major Cloud Storage Services like EBS, S3 and EFS. But first let’s understand more about AWS. We should use these end-of-life services as a per-project and keep in mind the key benefits of these end-to-end services. Amazon EBS brings the highest end-to-end prices available with block for level of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Saves data to file system stored after EC2 status closure. Amazon EFS provides portable file storage, also designed for EC2. It can be used as a standard data source for any application or load that works in most cases. Using the EFS file system, you can configure file system installation settings. The main difference between EBS and EFS is that EBS is only accessible from a single EC2 state in your specific AWS region, while EFS allows you to mount a file system in multiple regions and scenarios.
Terrorism And Fake News Detection
Authors: Divya Tiwari  , Surbhi Thorat
Published: January 2022

Fake news dissemination is a critical issue in today’s fast-changing network environment. The issues of online fake news have attained an increasing eminence in the diffusion of shaping news stories online. This paper deals with the categorical cyber terrorism threats on social media and preventive approach to minimize their issues. Misleading or unreliable information in form of videos, posts, articles, URLs are extensively disseminated through popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. As a result, editors and journalists are in need of new tools that can help them to pace up the verification process for the content that has been originated from social media. existing classification models for fake news detection have not completely stopped the spread because of their inability to accurately classify news, thus leading to a high false alarm rate. This study proposed a model that can accurately identify and classify deceptive news articles content infused on social media by malicious users. The news content, social-context features and the respective classification of reported news was extracted from the PHEME dataset using entropy-based feature selection. The selected features were normalized using Min-Max Normalization techniques. The model was simulated and its performance was evaluated by benchmarking with an existing model using detection accuracy, sensitivity, and precision as metrics. The result of the evaluation showed a higher 17.25% detection accuracy, 15.78% sensitivity, but lesser 0.2% precision than the existing model, Thus, the proposed model detects more fake news instances accurately based on news content and social content perspectives. This indicates that the proposed classification model has a better detection rate, reduces the false alarm rate of news instances and thus detects fake news more accurately.

Big data is gigantic measures of data that can do some incredible things. It has gotten a subject specifically compelling for as long as two decades in view of a high potential that is covered up in it. Different open and private part ventures create, store, and break down huge information to improve the administrations they give. In the social insurance industry, various hotspots for huge information incorporate emergency clinic records, clinical records of patients, aftereffects of clinical assessments, and gadgets that are a piece of the web of things. Biomedical examination additionally creates a critical bit of enormous information pertinent to open medicinal services. This information requires legitimate administration and examination to determine important data. Something else, looking for an answer by breaking down large information rapidly gets tantamount to finding a needle in the pile. There are different difficulties related with each progression of dealing with huge information which must be outperformed by utilizing very good quality registering answers for huge information investigation. That is the reason, to give significant answers for improving general wellbeing, social insurance suppliers are required to be completely outfitted with proper framework to produce and examine huge information methodically. Effective administration, examination, and understanding of large information can change the game by opening new roads for present day human services. That is exactly why different ventures, including the human services industry, are finding a way to change over this potential into better administrations and budgetary focal points. With a protected mix of biomedical and social insurance information, present day human services associations can upset the clinical treatments and customized medication.
A Study on the journey of Natural Language Processing models: from Symbolic Natural Language Processing to Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers
Authors: Rajarshi SinhaRoy
Published: January 2022

In this digital era, Natural language Processing is not just a computational process rather it is a way to communicate with machines as humanlike. It has been used in several fields from smart artificial assistants to health or emotion analyzers. Imagine a digital era without Natural language processing is something which we cannot even think of. In Natural language Processing, firstly it reads the information given and after that begins making sense of the information. After the data has been properly processed, the real steps are taken by the machine throwing some responses or completing the work. In this paper, I review the journey of natural language processing from the late 1940s to the present. This paper also contains several salient and most important works in this timeline which leads us to where we currently stand in this field. The review separates four eras in the history of Natural language Processing, each marked by a focus on machine translation, artificial intelligence impact, the adoption of a logico-grammatical style, and an attack on huge linguistic data. This paper helps to understand the historical aspects of Natural language processing and also inspires others to work and research in this domain.

Published: January 2022

Percolation tanks are constructed to conserve the rainwater in large quantities and allow more infiltration in its area of influence. Sometimes due to heavy fracture concentration/thick weathered zone, the water in percolation tank migrates fast in short period and tank becomes dry, which leads to early scarcity conditions. The village karkatta of taluka and district Latur is one such village, where water is provided by constructing two wells in the vicinity of percolation tank. The water level in the percolation tank depletes fast and the tank becomes dry in early summer. Also one cement nala bandhara was constructed in the downstream of the nala. The village is funded by UNICEF to implement MUS (Multiple Water Users) project. The area is surveyed by applying both electrical resistivity methods and low frequency electromagnetic methods in submergence of tank as well as in the downstream of percolation tank. The studies reveal that the leakages are due to thick vesicular basalt followed by fractured massive basalt. Suitable remedial measures are recommended to slow down the subsurface flow so as to improve the performance of the percolation tank.

Authors: C. Sukanya  , Mr. R. Surya Prakash
Published: January 2022

This project is related on the use of Silica fume as a substitution of cement and 100% m- sand as fine aggregate. Concrete is the most widely utilized material in the construction industry and will hold good for years. The credit is attributed to the properties of concrete like excellent strength, durability and less maintenance costs. But in the recent years, the concrete industry is facing a big challenge mainly due to the cement which is a vital component.
In order to improve the durability properties many types of special concretes such as High Strength Concrete, High Performance Concrete, Fibre Reinforced Concrete, Self-Compacting Concrete, etc. have been developed. High performance concrete has become an attractive option to Civil Engineers due to the special characteristics like early strength, ease of placement, permeability, mechanical and durability properties. The performance of High strength Concrete (HSC) is enhanced by the addition of admixtures which act as pozzolans as well as fillers, thereby improving the microstructure of the interfacial transition zone making it denser and impermeable. Silica Fume (SF) is a commonly used pozzolanic material owing to its high silicon dioxide content and fineness. This ultra fine property of SF used in concrete to improve its strength and durability.

Published: January 2022

Polymer composites have outstanding qualities such as high strength, flexibility, stiffness, and lightweight. Currently, research is being performed to develop innovative polymer composites that may be used in many operational situations and contain a variety of fibre and filler combinations. Banana fibre has low density compared to glass fibre and it is a lingo-cellulosic fibre having relatively good mechanical properties compared to glass fibre. Because of their outstanding qualities, banana fibre reinforced polymer composites are now widely used in various industries. The primary goal of this study is to determine the effect of the wt.% of banana fibre, the wt.% of SiC, and the wt.% of Al2O3 in banana fibre reinforcement composites on the mechanical and physical properties of banana fibre reinforcement composites. Tensile strength and flexural strength of unfilled banana fibre epoxy composite increased with the increase in wt. of banana fibre from 0 wt.% to 12 wt.%. Further, an increase in wt.% banana fibre drop in mechanical property was observed. It has been concluded from the study that the variation in percentage weight of filler material with fixed amount (12 wt.%) of banana fibre affects the mechanical properties of filled banana reinforcement composites. Optimum mechanical properties were obtained for BHEC5 (72 wt.% Epoxy + Hardener, 12 wt.% banana fibre and 16 wt.% Al2O3).

In this study we investigate the migration inhibition of Gypenosides (Gyp) and its combined effects with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on human colon cancer SW-620 cells, hoping to explore more potential clinical use of Gyp. Our data implied Gyp could significantly inhibit the migration potential of SW-620 cells including down-regulating matrix Metalloproteinases expression and decreasing cells adhesion ability. What’s more, evidence showed cells treated with Gyp exerted serious microfilament network collapse as well as a significant decline in the number of microvilli. A significant migration inhibitory effect was seen in Gyp groups along with the decline of cell adhesion. Further, the combination studies suggested Gyp could synergistically enhance the antitumor effect of 5-FU in SW-620 cells through the apoptosis way. The present study indicated Gyp could prevent cell migration and further enhance the cell killing effect of 5-FU on human colon cancer SW-620 cells.
