Groundwater prospecting using the dipole-dipole configuration for vertical electrical sounding: prediction of major aquifer depth in the Tolon-Kumbungu district of Northern Ghana
Authors: Mumuni A. N. , Bayor J. S. 
Published: May 2021

A geophysical investigation in groundwater prospecting, using the vertical electrical sounding (VES) method in resistivity surveying, was undertaken in the Tolon-Kumbungu district of Northern Ghana. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the VES technique as a low-cost groundwater exploration method. Using the dipole-dipole VES technique, fracture zones that held good prospects for groundwater location were prospectively identified at 15 sites in the Gbullung and Wayamba communities of the district. In addition, retrospective VES data for 6 sites were obtained from previous studies. Geophysical VES data and available drill logs for 3 sites in the prospective study and all 6 sites in the retrospective study (a total of 9 sites) were then evaluated by the VES log-log graph interpretation method to establish a correlation with the groundwater characteristics of the study area. The analyses of the VES curves indicated the presence of anomalous fracture zones occurring within hard sandstone formations that had high groundwater potential. Weathered zones or fresh rock aquifers however did not show potential for groundwater. The dominant formations in the area were found to be thin-bedded sequences of sandstone, mudstone, shale, siltstone and their intercalations. Groundwater was confined to between the depths of 25.0 m and 40.0 m, with major aquifers occurring approximately between the depths of 34.0 m and 45.0 m. These predictions were confirmed by the available drill logs. Using the VES curve interpretation as a means of selecting promising water-bearing sites, 8 out of the 9 sites drilled were successful wells, recording water yields ranging from 14 L/min to 250 L/min, with an average yield of 87.3 L/min. The study thus showed that the dipole-dipole VES technique in groundwater prospecting is effective for the geology of the study area.

Investigation on the road mortality of Anuran species on the Ikorodu-Epe/Ejirin-Ijebu Ode Roads in Lagos and Ogun States, Nigeria
Authors: Onadeko A. B , Ogoanah O. S. 
Published: May 2021

The effect of road kills of anuran species by vehicular traffic on the Ikorodu-Epe/Ejirin-Ijebu Ode road in Lagos and Ogun States was investigated. The mean traffic density on the road during the survey (between 18:30-20:30hr and 06:00 and 07:00hr) was 127±45 vehicles/hr, which ranged between 72 and 216 vehicles/hr. A total of 738 anuran road mortalities among eight species were recorded [661 (89.6%) were identifiable, while 77 (10.4%) were not]. Ptychadena pumilio had the highest mortality of 67±27.1 individuals, while Xenopus muelleri and Aubria subsigillata were the least susceptible to road kills. This respectively represented 2.66±1.5 and 2.66±3 individuals each. Most mortality (256 individuals) occurred on the section of the road bordered by grassland/tertiary vegetation. However there was no significant difference (at P> 0.05) between the anurans killed along the different vegetation structures bordering the road (F2,21 = 0.415). About 473 live anurans belonging to five species were observed of which P. pumilio, the highest constituted the greatest number (81±42.9), while the least Hoplobatrachus occipitalis 7.3±4.2 was recorded. Both species had greater live counts than road kills compared to other anuran species that had greater road kills than live counts recorded. The greatest number of live anurans was recorded at where grassland/tertiaryvegetation occurred. This constituted a total of 198 individuals (41.8%), while the least occurred at the secondary/primaryvegetation which had 95 individuals (20%). However, the difference was not significant (F2,12 = 0.600) at P> 0.05. It is evident that anuran migration is an integral part of their biological activity. However vehicular traffic sadly possesses a negative effect on this activity. Precautionary measures are necessary to reduce population decline and possible extinction of not only the anuran species but also other wildlife species, which is a positive direction in the conservation of biological diversity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effect of frequency of text messaging on perceived self-efficacy for treatment among people living with HIV/AIDS in Homa Bay County.
Methodology: The study used a quasi-experimental design. This involved a control and an intervention group to assess the effect of the text messaging. Data was collected using an interview schedule for participants and questionnaires for key informant interview. The study triangulated quantitative and qualitative data. Results shared in this paper are for the intervention group. Spearman’s rho correlations and simple linear regression models were used to estimate the relationship between the independent variable (frequency of messages) and the dependent variable (self-efficacy), and ANOVA test was done to test the hypothesis and presented in tables and graphs. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and narratives are provided under each section in verbatim.
Findings: The desired sample size for the intervention group was 317. Out which the study achieved 77.92 percent (n=247). Frequency of messages, did not yield a statistically significant relationship on perceived self-efficacy for appointment adherence (p<0.52; CI=95 per cent). However, receiving messages on a monthly basis had a significant but relatively week, inverse relationship with perceived self-efficacy (C= -0.181; p<0.02 ;< 0.05,). Qualitative findings established the messages were not boring
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Frequency of messages may depend on other factors such as type and content of messages being sent. Individual characteristics such as the social environment, level of education and general interest of HIV information and ART adherence may also influence the frequency of messages. Mobile interventions should ensure that the right number of required messages is sent to patients for optimum utilization and achievement of the desired outcomes.

Несмотря на значительный интерес к растительным ресурсам облепихи крушиновидной и продуктам технологической переработки, многие аспекты этой проблемы остаются недостаточно изученными. Особенно это относится к влиянию различных технологических факторов на биохимический состав свеже- заготовленных плодов облепихи и продуктов их переработки традиционными методами. В данном исследовании экспериментально подтверждена целесообразность применения отрицательных температур, а также инертной среды жидкого азота и жидкого диоксида углерода на всех технологических стадиях криохимической переработки плодов облепихи с получением микродисперсных порошков (фитокрипы) и абсолютного облепихового масла. Доклиническое изучение физиологической активности и безопасности применения подтверждает, что данные функциональные продукты питания положительно влияют на функции органов и систем человека.

Общеизвестно, что каждое из трех последних десятилетий характеризовалось более высокой тем- пературой у поверхности Земли по сравнению с любым предыдущим десятилетием начиная с 1950 г. На фоне этих изменений в научной литературе в последнее время появляется все большее количество работ, свидетельствующих об экспансии древесных и кустарниковых видов в арктические и высокогор- ные экосистемы. В статье приведены результаты исследования формирования древостоев верхней гра- ницы леса и зарослей крупных кустарников в одном из малоизученных регионов центрального сектора Субарктики России – плато Путорана. Объектом исследования явились древостои лиственница Гмелина Larix gmelinii Rupr. и заросли ольхи кустарниковой Duschekia fruticosa (Rupr) Pouzar. Показано, что на фоне современных изменений климата в последнем столетии (особенно во второй половине) происхо- дило смещение верхней границы распространения древесной и кустарниковой растительности выше в горы. Доказательством данных процессов служит закономерное изменение морфометрических параметров и среднего возраста изучаемых видов по мере продвижения в гору в последнем столетии.
It is well known that each of the last three decades has been characterized by a higher temperature at the Earth’s surface compared to any previous decade since 1950. Against the background of these changes, an increasing number of works have recently appeared in the scientiﬁ c literature, indicating the expansion of tree and shrub species into Arctic and high-altitude ecosystems. The article presents the results of a study of the formation of stands of the upper border of the forest and thickets of large shrubs in one of the poorly studied regions of the central sector of the Subarctic of Russia – the Putorana plateau. The object of the study was stands of Gmelin larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.) and thickets of shrub alder (Duschekia fruticosa (Rupr) Pouzar). It is shown that against the background of modern climate changes in the last century (especially in the second half), the upper limit of the distribution of woody and shrubby vegetation was shifted higher into the mountains. The proof of these processes is the regular change in morphometric parameters and the average age of the studied species as they move uphill in the last century.

Read Between the Walls. Spatial Dimensions of the Hidden School
Authors: Shatarova Rossina 
Published: May 2021

Architecture matters. The space where education takes place matters. The spatial dimension of a school transforms an abstraction into a situated phenomenon. In doing so, the context intentionally or implicitly affects education.
The potential impact the physical environment and the implied connotations it carries on one’s experience in and of it, is best argued by common sense. Consider the following example.
A wall is a boundary marker. Its function varies: to protect, to enclose, to constrain, to separate and differentiate between spaces, to redirect and flank. Erecting a wall, however, is an intentional design gesture, affiliated to the formation of a barrier, a division, a fortification and/or isolation. Those purposeful and associative properties of a wall are translated into one’s embodied experience of a physical wall.
Pedagogy of the Cubicle
Authors: Türkkan Sevgi 
Published: May 2021

‘Loge’ (cell, cubicle, box, cabinet, compartment, hut) is a spatial typology built to serve often ritualistic, also quotidian practices of physical, social and mental seclusion. From monastic life, to prisons, one can find various examples where voluntarily or involuntarily; isolated cells were used to renounce one’s contact with the outside world in order to incubate contemplation, concentration for individuals.
One of the strongest rituals of loge is found in the pedagogic traditions of École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, a seminal model that influenced the history of architectural education in the world. ‘Loges’ were the spatial educational tools invented and used during the architectural competitions, which were central pedagogical and curricular motives of the École’s educational system. The individual cubicles (varied in size in different periods) divided by rigid walls were aligned on a corridor, kept under strict probation by guardians, isolating students physically and socially from the outside world and each other during the periods of architectural competitions.
