Published: December 2019

Mining and processing of natural resources has being in existence from the beginning of early years with little or no consideration to the possible radiation and contamination being posed into the environment. Using NaI (TI) gamma ray spectrometer, the activity concentration of naturally occurringÂ radionuclides were determined in soil, rock and water samples from Mokuro gold mines in Osun State, Nigeria. The average activity concentrations of Â 40K, 238U and 232Th in soil samples were 362.39 Â± 83.88, 21.42 Â± 6.68 and 17.99 Â± 6.68 Bq/kg while in rock samples were 412.62 Â± 91.18, 24.61 Â± 8.58 and 19.40 Â± 6.76 Bq/kg respectively. Â For water samples, the mean activity concentrations were in the range of 8.65 Â± 4.16 Bq/L, 7.71 Â± 3.42 Bq/L, and 102.44 Â± 30.50 Bq/L respectively. The annual effective dose contributed by 238U, 232Th and 40K varied from 0.84mSv/y to 0.93mSv/y with an average value 0.88 mSv/y while 232Th varied from 0.018 mSv/y to 0.020 mSv/y with average value 0.019 mSv/y and 40K varied from 0.22 mSv/y to 0.25 mSv/y with an average value 0.233 mSv/y. The 238U contribution to the Annual Effective Dose was very high compared with 232Th and 40K.. The calculated mean of absorbed dose (ADR), Annual Effective Dose (AED), Radium equivalent dose rate (Raeq), Internal and External Hazard Indices in the study area were less than the world averages and the limit recommended by ICRP for all water samples. The data obtained provided the baseline concentration and also indicated that continuous exploration could lead to contamination and eventually be hazardous. .

Lectin is a glycoprotein which possesses at least one non-catalyzing domain that specifically and reversibly binds to mono and oligosaccharides. The concentration of lectin in these two species of okra: (A.esculentus and A.caillei) were determined using the glycoprotein agglutinating property with carbohydrate coated surface (erythrocytes) that can easily bind with the lectin present in the two Okra species. The study revealed that A.esculentus has high lectin content in the leaves but the seeds are characterized with low lectin content. Comparatively, A.caillei has low lectin content in its leaves while high level of lectin content was found in its seeds. Protein were extracted and detected by Bradford methods.Â The data were subjected to analysis using SAS package (L.S.D) version 2009 and it showed that A.esculentus has high protein content in its seeds (0.61 mg/ml) when compared with leaves (0.09mg/ml) of the same species. However, A.caillei has high level protein content in its leaves (0.19mg/ml) as compared with the low protein content found in seeds (0.58mg/ml). The research showed that the A.caillei has high level of lectin but low level of protein contents whereas; the A.esculentus has low level of protein but high level of lectin contents. It is recommended that further studies should be carried out on the genetic compatibility of the two species in order to explore a viable product that would have optimum level of lectin and high level of protein contents in specie of okra.

Authors: Kanyinji Peter , Tembo Gelson 
Published: December 2019

There has been lots of questions on why there is continued escalating poverty levels in Zambia despite the presence of the commercial activities from the mining global value chain. These commercial activities would be helpful in linking small & medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate in the high grade market and supply for sustainable income. Unfortunately, there are barriers of entry that limit supplier entry and participation. The Zambian mines are marred with such barriers as tax compliance, registration processes, licensing requirements, technology upgrade, standards requirements, capacity requirements, managerial competencies, competition barriers and financial constraints. The main objective of the study was to perform a regression analysis and establish the predictor barriers to supplier participation. A survey questionnaire with 350 respondents showed a Cronbach reliability test of 0.812 indicating a good internal consistence. Further Statistics from the SPSS output show the following p-values; tax (0.036), standards (0.033), individual capacity (0.01), financial capital (0.00) as predictors of supplier participation to the mines while registration (0.524), licensing (.267), technology upgrade (.079), managerial skills (.853) and competition (.383) showing that they are not predictors of suppliersâ€™ participation to the mines.Â This means that tax, standards, individual capacity and financial capital sit statistically significant and influence the functioning of the mining value chain

Published: December 2019

Abstract
New glass samples with composition (1 – x)[(TeO2)70(B2O3)30] – x(Gd2O3) with x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 in mol% have been synthesized by conventional melt-quenching techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were performed in order to confirm the amorphous nature of the samples. The density of the samples has been found to vary with the Gd2O3 content, whereas an opposite trend has been observed in the molar volume. The analysis of Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy of the samples showed that the glass network is mainly built of TeO3, TeO4, BO3 and BO4 units. The addition of Gd2O3 changed the refractive index, optical band gap and Urbach energy of the glass samples. The thermal properties of the studied glasses were investigated by measuring the thermal diffusivity of the samples by using photoflash method at room temperature.

Authors: Samsuri . , Maulana Lucky Hikmat 
Published: December 2019

Konsekuensi dari tingginya peningkatan jumlah penduduk di kawasan perkotaan adalah peningkatan volume timbulan sampah sebagai dampak dari aktivitas dan konsumsi masyarakat. Keterbatasan lahan untuk TPA sampah di kawasan perkotaan mendesak pemerintah kota untuk berinovasi mengurangi timbulan sampah mulai dari sumbernya. Pengomposan sampah merupakan salah satu cara yang efektif karena sebagian besar kandungan sampah rumah tangga adalah bahan organik. Namun pengolahan sampah yang tidak sesuai dapat menimbulkan masalah kesehatan, dampak lingkungan, dan dampak sosial. Kondisi ini mengindikasikan bahwa pemilihan model pengolahan sampah menjadi komplek karena dipengaruhi oleh multikriteria serta adanya hubungan keterkaitan antar subkriteria. Analytic Network Process (ANP) merupakan suatu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk memodelkan permasalahan dengan menggunakan hubungan keterkaitan antar kriteria. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasikan 15 subkriteria dalam 5 kriteria (ekonomi, lingkungan, social, teknik dan pemasaran). Skenaria alternative model pengomposan terdiri atas tersebar, setengah terpusat dan terpusat. Proses pemilihan alternative menggunakan kuesioner perbandingan berpasangan dari 20 responden meliputi kelompok masyarakat, akademisi, masyarakat, stakeholder dan sektor informal. Hasilnya menunjukkan kriteria lingkungan dan social merupakan pertimbangan utama dalam pemilihan alternative model pengomposan. Hubungan subkriteria untuk inner dependence adalah penerimaan masyarakat terhadap teknologi dan penguatan peran aktif masyarakat, sedangkan untuk outer dependence adalah pencemaran air minimal. Sintesis prioritas skenario pengomposan model tersebar pada skala RT/ RW merupakan preferensi dengan bobot tertinggi Kata Kunci: pengolahan sampah, multi kriteria, Analytical Network Process
