Published: July 2020

Abstract
The University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), Tarkwa, Ghana has a Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure whose primary purpose is to facilitate research; teaching and learning; and information dissemination. The LAN infrastructure spans a maximum distance of 1.39 square-kilometers with an upload and download speed of 115 Mb/s and interconnects the administration block, faculties, library and halls of residence with high-speed ethernet links operating over a dedicated fiber optic backbone. The LAN infrastructure with connectivity to the internet impact operations in various sections of the University, notably, the University Library. The main purpose of the library is to interact with different information networks to make available e-resource materials to students, academic and non-academic staff. This can only be achieved over a dedicated LAN infrastructure. The introduction of Library Management Systems (Koha), Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) and the UMaT Space has improved library services such as document delivery, circulation and borrowing, amongst others. However, there exist a major challenge associated with library e-resources accessibility. This paper sought to investigate the factors hindering library e-resource accessibility for the purposes of improving research. Questionnaire was administered to respondents to solicit primary information while secondary information was obtained from published literature. 537 out of 855 participants responded to the questionnaire administered. 351 (65.36%) represented undergraduate students, 73 (13.60%) represented postgraduate students, 87 (16.20%), 21 (3.91%), 5 (0.93%) represented teaching, non-teaching and library staff respectively. The responses were analysed using simple tables and pie charts. Results from the study showed inadequate access points to enable users access these e-resource materials and lack of knowledge about the existence of these resources. The investigation further revealed the need for the library to embark on an information literacy drive for both students and academic staff. Various ways of improving e-resource accessibility was suggested.

Published: July 2020

A series of ArcGIS-generated maps were applied in analysing the potential for flooding and landslide hazards within the Lake Kivu drainage basin. This study was carried out using digital elevation data of the basin. The Kivu drainage basin encompasses an area of 7,382 km2. Sediment and water supply to Lake Kivu originate mostly from its eastern hinterland. The distribution of land sliding potentiality in the drainage basin shows that the northern and the southern portions of the basin are the ones with relatively low risk of land sliding, whereas the rift shoulders are most prone to land sliding. Mass wasting on slopes has the potential to grade downstream into debris and mudflows, promoting in turn further erosion and flooding.

Integrating Sentinel-2 Data and PAPCAR Model to Map Water Erosion: Case of Beni Boufrah Watershed
Authors: Labbaci A , Marghadi S , Laaribya S , Moukrim S 
Published: July 2020

Water erosion causes significant economic losses linked mainly to the silting up of dams and losses in soil productivity, these consequences will increase if soil and water conservation actions associated with development actions are not undertaken. The present work aims to evaluate the water erosion in the basin of the Beni Boufrah located in the Northern part of Morocco. The hierarchy of this basin in plot according to the degrees and the tendencies of the erosion was made using the qualitative PAP/CAR approach (Programme d’Actions Prioritaires/Centre d’Activités Regionales) which is based on the integration of the factors influencing the water erosion, such as the slope, lithology and/or pedology, vegetation cover and land use. This work was conducted in three stages, the first one being predictive based on the analysis of the natural factors influencing water erosion and the processing of databases of developed maps. The second so-called descriptive stage is based on the mapping of different forms and processes of soil loss that occur in the study area. The last step, it allows the integration and the combination of the results of the two previous steps. Its purpose is to provide a precise cartographic product that reflects the reality of the state of soil degradation and the future evolution of erosion. The consolidated erosion map shows that more than half of the basin area (53%) is affected by medium-level erosion, 13% is affected by high erosion level, and 15 % is affected by low-level water erosion. Low-intensity erosion occurs along the river in areas where the slope and lithology favour runoff. The trend map is the final result of the integration phase, it describes erosion trends in the different parts of the basin and is, therefore, a tool to guide decisions on land use planning and tillage methods to limit the risk of water erosion in the basin.

Cadastral Information and Erosion Modeling for Monitoring Gullies in Mpazi Catchment Area, Kigali City
Authors: Bizimana, J.P , Ndahigwa E 
Published: July 2020

Due to the lack of sediment load monitoring system, erosion model calibration is challenging in Rwanda. Based on the reports of parcels boundaries corrections from Rwanda Land Management and Use Authority, there are quite consistent losses of land due to gullies development in Mpazi River watershed. This study analysed the possibility of integrating cadastral information, erosion and hydrological modelling data for identifying potential gullies development in hilly urban area of Mpazi catchment. The orthophoto of 2008 coupled with ancillary data were used to delineate the shifts of parcel boundaries from 2012 to 2016. Hydrological modelling based on DEM was also applied to investigate geo-physical characteristics and potential gullies. The differential GPS was used to locate the potential gullies that were then uploaded into GIS. Gullies intersecting with rectified parcels boundary were measured with tape meter. The gully length was measured using hydrological modelling tools and GPS coordinates captured during the field verification. The results showed that gully system expanded from 7.5 to 20 meters while neighboring parcels shift was between 3 and 12.5 meters. The highest average rate of soil loss ranged between 100 and 150 tons/ha/year. The research findings from this study are salient for policy- and decision-makers who need to review the current land and environment policies and laws so that gully erosion can be assigned appropriate mitigation measures for ecologically sustainable management of hilly urban landscapes within Kigali City. More periodic data are required to feed the model and validating this approach brings the government institutions’ responsibility. The developed methodology has the potential to quantify the gully systems in urban context with scarce hydrological, soil and geomorphological data availability and where urban planning and environmental protection are constrained by limited financial and human resources.

The Western Part of Rwanda is a mountainous region that hosts two important forest parks namely the Nyungwe National Park (NNP) and Gishwati-Mukura National Park (GMNP). The two parks which are located in the Albertine Rift region are known for their high endemism and harbour several endangered plant and animal species, including particularly the Common Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinifurthii). However, these forests are facing threats including mainly habitat loss, aggravated by climate change both of which are continuously having direct and indirect effects to the Chimpanzees. While conservation of chimpanzees appears critical, there is a need to deeply understand the dynamics of their habitat. This study aimed at modelling the ecological niche of common chimpanzee by integrating species distribution data and environmental layers. Species location data collected in both NNP and GMNP were integrated with environmental variables (temperature, precipitation, altitude, and land cover) through Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt), and Generic Algorithm for Rule-based Prediction (GARP) Models. The results of both models showed that chimpanzees prefer the Southern and the Northern parts of the study area (0.5 < p < 0.87), which is characterised by high altitude, low temperature, and intensive rainfall. It was also noted that MaxEnt predictions were more accurate compared to the GARP’s. MaxEnt predictions showed that 35% (2058.61 ha) of the Western Province are suitable for chimpanzees, while GARP predicted that only 24% (1411.62 ha) are suitable. Furthermore, the study found that the high precipitation, annual and maximum precipitations, and food availability are the most determinants of chimpanzees' habitat. The land use in the Western Province has made the central part less suitable to chimpanzees and therefore, this study recommends that special efforts for the conservation of Common chimpanzees in Rwanda should be concentrated in the Southern Part (around NNP) Nyungwe National Park (main forest and Cyamudongo fragment) and the northern Part (around GMNP)

Drinking Age Policy Implementation and the Practice of Federal Law in the United States
Authors: Ihemeje Godwin , Ihemeje Grace 
Published: July 2020

Readjusting a standardized national drinking age, particularly in the area of implementation has been a matter of concern to scholars of political science and health sciences. It is instructive to note that the national legal drinking age of 21 years is a primary alcohol-control policy initiated and implemented since 1985 in the United States. Different groups have raised public debate on the minimum drinking age and proposed reducing it to 18 years. However, recent trends in alcohol drinking and related consequences, comparative effect of the minimum legal drinking ages of 21 years and 18 years, research on drinking among high school and college students related to minimum legal drinking age are critically reviewed, using secondary data sources. This article therefore seeks to support the minimum drinking age of 21 years, rather than lowering it to 18 years. Concerted interventional roles are essential by the assistance of non-governmental organizations, public health experts, legal experts, and public office holders; for the purpose of influencing healthy decisions about alcohol among the early adults and thereby leading to reduction in alcohol consumption and its negative impacts.

In the study area, sheep flocks are managed under traditional extensive systems with no or minimal inputs and improved technologies, which results in low productivity. The available natural pasture lands are overloaded with livestock beyond optimum carrying capacity that has resulted in overgrazing and land degradation. This indicates the critical need of supplemental feed during feed-deficient period. The objective of the research was assessment of productive performance through on-station feedlot and natural pasture grazing effect on weight gain and carcass yield characteristics evaluation. The average daily weight gain (ADG), total body weight change and final body weights of supplemented groups significantly higher than (p < 0.05) non-supplemented groups. Hence, supplemented and non-supplemented Awassi crossbreds had higher daily weight gain and followed by supplemented Wollo highland group. Between genotypes, there is significant difference (p < 0.05) of rib-eye area, empty body weight, hot and cold carcass weight and cold carcass dressing percentage. Conversely, Wollo highland sheep has exhibited compensatory growth rate than others. Awassi crossbred lambs has higher weight gain and faster growth performance followed by Washera crossbred one. Therefore, local breed productive performance improvement practices have to continue and need adjustment of breeding strategies with a definite breeding plan.

Las políticas de ayudas sectoriales no han resuelto la degradación de las áreas de montaña. Para la conservación de estos espacios habitados, debe tenerse en cuenta el conjunto de sus problemas socioeconómicos; por ello, la adscripción de las ayudas debiera realizarse de manera integral. El ámbito de comarcas es el más lógico para la aplicación y gestión de políticas integrales, que reúne la mayoría de los factores sobre los que debe incidir el desarrollo local Sector.Aid policy have not resolved the decline in mountainous áreas. The conservation of this inhabited zones needs to take into account all its socioeconomic problems; that is why allocation of the help should be curried through in an integral manner. Whithin the limits of the región is the suitable place for realization and management of that integral policy, since it has the majority of the factors about which the regional development should fall upon.

Transfuzija krvi po kirurškem posegu poveča tveganje za pooperativne zaplete, podaljša bolnišnično zdravljenje in poslabša izhod kirurškega zdravljenja. Neopredeljena in nezdravljena slabokrvnost pred operacijo predstavlja neodvisni napovedni dejavnik za perioperativne zaplete in transfuzijo v perioperativnem obdobju. Pred operacijo moramo odkriti bolnike, pri katerih je tveganje za slabokrvnost večje, ter jim prilagoditi predoperativno pripravo, kirurško tehniko in pooperativno zdravljenje.
Program »Skrb za bolnikovo kri« (angl. Patient Blood Management PBM), ki je že uveljavljen v mnogih evropskih državah in podprt s strani direktorata Evropske komisije, je usmerjen v zdravljenje anemije, optimiziranje hemostaze in zmanjšanje potrebe po transfuziji krvi. Trije osnovni stebri so (1) optimalna hematopoeza, (2) zmanjšana iatrogena izguba krvi in (3) izboljšana bolnikova toleranca za anemijo.
Analizirali smo potrebe po transfuziji krvi pri bolnikih, operiranih zaradi pljučnega ali urološkega obolenja v kirurškem centru Bitenc, d.o.o, med oktobrom 2016 in oktobrom 2018. Od bolnikov, ki so transfuzijo eritrocitov prejeli med operacijo, so bili predoperativno anemični 4 (57%) bolniki. Od bolnikov, ki so transfuzijo dobili pooperativno na oddelku, je bilo predoperativno anemičnih 12 (50%) bolnikov.
V članku opišemo elemente programa PBM ter načrt za uvedbo programa v vsakodnevno klinično prakso.
Diabetična retinopatija kot subklinično vnetje: Analiza citokinov v steklovini in serumu

Published: July 2020

Izhodišče: Diabetično retinopatijo lahko opredelimo kot kronično subklinično vnetje. Želeli smo ugotoviti razlike v ravneh vnetnih citokinov med steklovino in serumom pri bolnikih s proliferativno diabetično retinopatijo (PDR) pri kontrolni skupini ter primerjati ravni citokinov v steklovini glede na aktivnost PDR. Boljše poznavanje vnetnega dogajanja v očesu bolnikov s PDR bi lahko prispevalo k razvoju novih načinov zdravljenja teh bolnikov.Metode: V raziskavo smo vključili 37 bolnikov (37 oči) s PDR, pri katerih je bila potrebna vitrektomija, ter 20 bolnikov (20 oči) z idiopatskim foramnom makule (FM), ki so predstavljali kontrolno skupino. Glede na pregled pred operacijo in oceno očesnega ozadja med samim posegom smo opredelili aktivnost PDR. V steklovini in serumu smo s citometrično metodo CBA (angl. Cytometric Bead Array) analizirali citokine interlevkin 1β (IL-1β), dejavnik tumorske nekroze α (TNF-α), makrofagni vnetni protein 1α (MIP-1α), makrofagni vnetni protein 1β (MIP-1β), monocitni kemotaktični protein 1 (MCP-1), žilni endotelni rastni dejavnik (VEGF), interlevkin 6 (IL-6), interlevkin 8 (IL-8), interlevkin 10 (IL-10) in interlevkin 12 (IL-12).Rezultati: Ravni vseh citokinov so se v steklovini pomembno razlikovale od ravni v serumu. Raven MCP-1, VEGF, IL-6, IL-8 v steklovini bolnikov s PDR je bila statistično pomembno višja v primerjavi z ravnijo v steklovini pri bolnikih v kontrolni skupini, raven MIP-1α, IL-10 in IL-12 v steklovini bolnikov s PDR je bila statistično pomembno nižja v primerjavi z bolniki v kontrolni skupini (p < 0,05). Ravni citokinov v serumu bolnikov s PDR se niso pomembno razlikovale od ravni citokinov pri kontrolni skupini. Bolniki z aktivno PDR so imeli v steklovini višjo raven MCP-1, VEGF, IL-6 in IL-8 kot bolniki z inaktivno PDR, a razlike niso bile statistično značilne.Zaključek: Z našo analizo smo potrdili pomembne razlike v ravneh citokinov med steklovino in serumom pri bolnikih s PDR, kar kaže na pomen lokalnega vnetnega dogajanja v očesu pri PDR. Višje ravni MCP-1, VEGF, IL-6 in IL-8 nakazujejo aktivnost PDR.

Desde la segunda década del siglo XXI podemos encontrar eferencias camp en diversos ámbitos de las industrias culturales y del espectáculo. Desde Eduardo Casanova con su película Pieles y su cuenta personal de Instagram, pasando por John Waters, el diseñador Palomo Spain, el éxito de la serie estadounidense Pose o la temática de la Gala MET de este año. Lo camp se ensambla en una corriente de sensibilidad estética contemporánea que tiene que ver con la remezcla de archivos y enciclopedias propia de la cultura digital hipertextual. Este resurgimiento de lo camp queda documentado en Instagram, donde gracias al poder difusor de la red social, se mantienen y expanden los conceptos de camp, kitsch, así como los imaginarios visuales outsider, poniéndose de moda y penetrando en las prácticas estéticas de los millennials, permitiéndoles conocer y desarrollar nuevas identidades y estéticas que quedan plasmadas de nuevo en la red.
Since the last decade we can find references to camp in the culture and entertainment industries. From Eduardo Casanova with his film Pieles and his personal Instagram account, including John Waters, the designer Palomo Spain, the success of the American series Pose or the theme of the MET Gala this year. Camp is in a stream of contemporary aesthetic sensibility that has to do with the remixing of archives and encyclopedias for the digital hypertext culture. This resurgence of camp is documented on Instagram, where thanks to the streaming power of the social network, the concepts of camp, kitsch, as well as the visual imaginaries outsider are still and becoming fashionable and penetrating the aesthetic practices of the millenials, allowing them to know and develop new identities and aesthetics that are reflected through the network again.
