Prague is a key hydrological location for the whole Elbe catchment. It is no so much that Prague is a capitol of Czechia as the fact of fan shape of the upper part of the Vltava catchment with closing section at the Prague doorstep. This is why we need utilize all hydrological information at disposal. Two water level gauging stations, completed before 1914, were forgotten part of history of Prague and Czech hydrology until recently. In 1970s and 1980s they have had not any use, perhaps only like a waste storage or a rock band rehear house. The last operating meteorological instruments behind a window of the water level gauging station building were at disposal at the millennium change. The reconstruction of the embankment and the gauging station building after flood 2002 and the building rental by CHMI brought a change. The recent discovery of a recorded water stage on moving paper sheet and the water level gauging station project from 1907 have fulfilled a gap in our knowledge on construction circumstances of both of stations. This article presents a history and some new possibilities for the use of both old water level gauging station data. An architectonic concept and original purpose were extraordinary. We can now confirm that the Frič brothers company had delivered and installed the meteorological and hydrological instruments. The then owner of this company, J. J. Frič, was an important astronomer and founder of present national observatory in Ondřejov.
The Linguistics of Humour in Harold Pinter
Authors: Hamdy Hoda
Published: January 2025

This paper is an extract from a PhD dissertation on the language of humour in literary texts. The study belongs to the domain of linguistics of literary humour, a domain that has long been unrecognized due to focus on jokes as the form of humour (e.g. Raskin 1985, Zhao 1988, Zadjman 1993, Norrick 2003, Veale et al 2006 …etc.). The study deals with the linguistic analysis of humour in selected extracts from The Birthday Party (1958), and No Man's Land (1974) by the British Nobel Prize dramatist, Harold Pinter (1930 – 2008). Incongruity has been consistently cited in the literature as the major cause of humour. It describes the cognitive basis of humour, which has its origin in the cognition of both speaker and hearer. The present research used a Complementary Pragmatic approach, with a kit of five Pragma-linguistic tools, to detect humorous incongruity in the extracts analysed. Generally, the results prove that linguistic humour in the data analysed tends to be pragmatic in that Pinter uses ordinary language extraordinarily. There is no play on words, nor breakdown of linguistic structures. Humour in the extracts analysed comes from the mismatch between the linguistic communicative strategy and the discourse context rather than from breakdown of linguistic structures.

Published: January 2025

The study investigated the Temne proverbs and riddles of Sierra Leone. It particularly looked at the connections between these two oral forms and African Oral Literature. The aim of the study was to identify the main structure and semantic meaning that distinguish Temne proverbs and riddles. The researchers used linguistic and anthropological methods, which were adapted from Thulla to discover the structural and cultural meanings of Temne sayings. Specifically, the researchers employed both embedded and exploratory designs to provide a better understanding of the basic interpretations given to the concept of proverbs and riddles of the Temne people. A total of 60 communities were selected for the study from 12 Chiefdoms. The researchers carefully evaluated existing materials, including Temne proverbs and riddles from Thulla’s collection, and conducted key informant interviews with 20 locals in the study area and 4 focus group discussions with indigenous Temne language experts to collect primary data. The study identified many similarities between them, which implies that the two forms are developed and interpreted using a common cognitive framework. The findings reveal that Temne Proverb and Riddle are circular and have instructional purposes, which adds to the debate over the need to preserve oral traditions. The study also finds that Temne proverbs and riddles emphasize different values, which demonstrates the Temne people’s philosophy and language, suggesting their continued significance in the community.

Specific objectives of the study were to: ascertain the nature of funding political science education in Nigeria; investigate emerging trends in political science education in the 21st century Nigeria and determine challenges of funding political science education amidst inflation and emerging trends in the 21st century Nigeria. The study employed qualitative research design. Data were gathered through the utilization of government records, public and school libraries, reports on events or personal accounts on experiential incidents, retrieval of facts and figures from statistical records on social issues or the archival sources, journals, literary books, the media, and internet sources. The study found that funding of political science education in particular and education in general has not been stable and has never met UNESCO benchmark for education funding. It found that inflation has eroded the value of funds allocated to education. It also found lots of trending issues have emerged in education ranging from poor investment in infrastructure, reduction in school enrolment, student fees hike, global competitiveness etc. The study concluded that funding political science education amidst inflation and emerging trends in the 21st century Nigeria has faced herculean challenges. The study recommends upward review of funding towards political science education in order to ensure that tertiary education meet up with their responsibilities, and to offset the effect of inflation on education costs. Government should devise strategies to provide welfare scheme or social interventions to students such as: subsidized transport, reduce tuition fees etc to enable students keep up with cost of acquiring education. Nigerian government should employ the services of economic experts internally to formulate and implement viable economic policies to drive the Nigerian economy on the path of growth and development.
Connecting Discrete Structures and Python: Transforming Discrete Structures Education
Authors: Trong Hieu Bui
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a Python-integrated framework for teaching Discrete Structures, focusing on bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications. The primary goals of this framework are to enhance student engagement, improve conceptual clarity, develop computational thinking, and provide real-world relevance to abstract topics. By leveraging Python’s intuitive syntax and versatile libraries, such as itertools for combinatorics and networkx for graph theory, the framework transforms traditional teaching methods into a hands-on, interactive learning experience. The framework aims to help students connect core topics like propositional logic, set theory, and graph traversal with their computational implementations. For instance, students can write Python programs to generate truth tables, explore set operations, or visualize graph algorithms. These activities foster active learning by providing immediate feedback and enabling experimentation, which promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Another key goal is to demonstrate the real-world relevance of Discrete Structures. Students learn to apply modular arithmetic in cryptography, graph algorithms in network analysis, and recursion in algorithmic problem-solving. This interdisciplinary approach prepares students for modern technological challenges while aligning theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Initial evaluations show significant improvements in student engagement, comprehension, and performance. By integrating Python into the teaching of Discrete Structures, this framework not only bridges the gap between theory and practice but also equips students with the tools and mindset needed to excel in computational fields.

Effects of Si addition on the corrosion susceptibility of aluminium alloys in different concentrations of NaOH, and NaCl solutions
Authors: Idu Hyacinth Kevin
Published: January 2025

This study examines the effect of silicon addition at 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight on the corrosion susceptibility of aluminium alloys in 0.5 M and 1.0 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions, as well as 0.5 M and 1.0 M sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. The aluminium was moulded and furnished, and the alloys were exposed to these corrosive environments for durations ranging from 168 to 672 hours. The corrosion behaviour of the alloy samples was assessed by measuring the weight loss, from which the corrosion rate was calculated. The results showed that the normal corrosion rate profile was observed as the reinforcement phase increased, and the samples increased in weight. This indicates continuous passivation, particularly in the 10% Si alloy content resulted in a low corrosion rate of the alloy, which was significantly lower than the other concentrations, indicating superior resistance. Based on these findings, it is recommended to optimize the silicon concentration at 10% for enhanced corrosion resistance in alkaline and salty corrosive environments. These alloys, with corrosion rates ranging from 0.01 to 0.05, are well suited for aerospace, marine, automotive, and chemical processing plant applications where materials are exposed to corrosive conditions and require durability.

Published: January 2025

Due to erratic power supply, effort towards the development of alternative energy system is increasing on a daily basis. The quantity of radiation is essential for efficient designing and selecting energy devices for agricultural, industrial, telecommunication and household uses. It requires knowledge of the actual solar radiation (SR) reaching the earth’s surface at the location of interest. In this study, temperature-based methods to determine SR in the savannah region using Abuja (9.050N, 7.490E). Nigeria as a case study was conducted. Hargreaves-Samani, Annandale and Samani models were analyzed and compared with ten years data on SR, and temperatures from 2001 to 2010 from Nigerian Meteorological Agency, NIMET Abuja. The solar declination δ, eccentricity correction factor of the earth’s orbit Eo, and day angle (0) were determined to estimate extraterrestrial SR on a horizontal surface. The models were tested in terms of the mean bias error (MBE), root mean square error (RMSE) and the percentage RMSE. The results revealed Hargreaves-Samani is the most fitted followed by Annandale while Samani model is not applicable due to proximity to large water bodies. The extraterrestrial and SR continuously decreases during summer due to absorption, scattering, reflection and transmission by clouds, ozone layer, water vapour, carbon dioxide, smog and other particles while their values increases drastically during winter in agreement with other research findings.

Introduction: Epistaxis is a prevalent clinical condition that can be associated with significant morbidity and places a considerable burden on the healthcare system.
Aim: To ascertain the prevalence of epistaxis in our center and to identify the predictive factors of severity.
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional analytical study of patients who presented to and/or were admitted for epistaxis at our department of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) during the period from January 2015 to December 2022.
Results: A total of 720 patients were included out of a total of 100,378 consultations, resulting in a prevalence of 0.7%. The mean age of the patients was 51.6 years (±18,73 Standard Deviation (SD)) and the sex ratio H/F was 1.43. The majority (87.9%) of cases were benign and treated on an outpatient basis, while 12.1% of patients presented with severe epistaxis and required hospitalization. The median duration of hospitalization was 5 days. The outcome was favourable in 99.4% of cases. Nevertheless, two cases of death due to severe epistaxis complicated by hemorrhagic shock were observed. A multivariate analysis identified several independent factors associated with severe epistaxis. These included male gender, recurrent epistaxis, a history of hematological disorders, the use of anticoagulant therapy, and an increased International Normalized Ratio (INR) level.
Conclusion: These results have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the severity factors associated with epistaxis, enabling a more targeted and personalized approach to prevention and treatment.
