Humanity and flow in Central-Asian digital art-history: the Astral Nomads model
Authors: Sorokina Yuliya 
Published: August 2021

Currently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, cultural actors are faced with the urgent problem of preserving humanitarian values using digital tools. The countries of Central Asia are laggingbehind the global process, which has introduced an imbalance in the digital presentation of world artistic heritage. The aim of this study and project is to organize an online art history of post-Soviet Asia in the complex context of human destinies, stories and facts, through the creation of an interactive book and website.
During the research process, the author followed the cross-methodologies of critical analysis and digital archiving. That is, analytical constructs were founded and documented by archival materials and scientific sources through a hypertext system. In turn, the hypertext system has something in common with the philosophical concept of the "rhizome" – one of the key concepts of the philosophy of post-structuralism and post-modernism, introduced by J. Deleuze and F. Guattari.
In the course of this research, materials of contemporary art from Central Asia were collected from the studios of artists, and an archiving system was developed in accordance with international standards. In 2013, the online resource astralnomads.net was developed and launched, which took its name from the unfinished novel by the artist Sergei Maslov Astral Nomads. The novel described the adventures of Kazakhstani artists on a spaceship in the future. The study asks questions about the timeliness and necessity of digital archiving of art collections. These processes are not just technical innovations here, but an indicator of the compliance of the country's cultural policy with the new humanitarian challenges of the era.
Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that, despite lagging behind global trends in archiving, the processes of digitalization of archives and art collections are gradually building up in the region. The study proposes a model of the Astral Nomads resource as a pilot project for the preservation of the heritage of art of the 20th-21st centuries.
История деколониальной чувствительности в дискурсе балетмейстерского искусства Казахстана
Authors: Шомаева Дилара , Жумасеитова Гульнара 
Published: August 2021

Вопрос постколониального влияния на танцевальную культуру и сценическое искусство казахского народа поднимается в дискурсном анализе творчества современных хореографов. Исторические изменения политической и социальной жизни Казахстана постсоветского периода обратили взгляд отечественных авторов в сторону деколониальной эстетики, выражающейся в самоанализе прошлого и рефлексии на проблематику сегодняшней реальности. Актуальность такого культурного транзита не противопоставляется философии традиционализма, однако критика ее подразумевает не простой возврат в прошлое и его повторение, но поиск и развитие в будущем, основанные на связи с этнокультурной памятью и преемственностью.
В качестве методологической основы статьи используются исторический, хронологический, сравнительный методы исследования, а также основанный на междисциплинарных гуманитарных концепциях семиотический метод. Методология исследования базируется на работах отечественных авторов об истории и развитии казахского национального танца, профессионального сценического хореографического искусства и искусства Казахстана вообще.
Первые пробы переосмысления национального самоопределения в искусстве зазвучали на фоне использования зафиксированных образов и мотивов, но в осмыслении через глобальные политические процессы, а также региональные, свойственные для постсоветских постколониальных государств. Привычка говорить о национальном языком чуждой классической танцевальной лексики сменилась увлечением авторов балетных постановок авангардными тенденциями мировой хореографии и их попыткой примирить новые эстетические принципы с существующими. Дальнейшие поиски казахстанских постановщиков в период независимости страны привели к рождению термина «неоказахская хореография», впервые озвученного исследователем и хореографом Анварой Садыковой.
Перспективное направление для балетмейстеров в постколониальном художественном поиске национальной идентичности видится в отказе от подражания и повторения уже существующего и в исканиях новых образов и их смысловой наполненности.

Published: August 2021

The study examined the effect of rural-urban migration of youth on rural development in Ogbomoso South Local Government Area of Oyo State. Rural-urban migration is a phenomenon that most developing nations of the world are experiencing due to the gross neglect of the rural areas. In Nigeria, the issue of rural-urban migration is quite alarming owing to the discriminatory centralization of facilities in the urban areas as well as widening income gap between the urban and rural areas. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design while purposive sampling technique was used in selecting 300 from Ogbomoso south LGAs. The data collected was tested by using Pearson product moment correlation and ANOVA. The study established that self-help project had significant relationship with youth out-migration (r = .351*, N= 300, P < .05), community economy also had significant relationship with out-migration (r = .277*, N= 300, P < .05), care for elderly had negative significant relationship with out-migration(r = -.182*, N= 300, P < .05) and cultural practices also had significant relationship with out-migration (r = .198*, N= 300, P < .05). The study recommended that; government should decentralize its developmental projects and programmes in order to accommodate the rural areas. Government should make agriculture attractive for rural dwellers so that they could see it as a profitable occupation and there should be economic incentives to promote adaptation of indigenous skills and technologies in the rural areas.

Authors: ADEGUNWA M. O. , OYESIJI I. O. , ADEBOWALE A. A. , BAKARE H. A. 
Published: August 2021

The study assessed the chemical and microbial safety of street vended local drink ‘Lego’ collected from three different vendors in Abeokuta metropolis. A control sample was prepared in the laboratory and nine samples of three different flavours (orange, pineapple and blackcurrant) were collected. Total Vibrio count, total faecal Coliform and total staphylococcus count were estimated in all the samples. Total Vibrio cholera is completely absent while Five samples were found to harbour total staphylococci counts of bacteria within the range of 0.7-1.5x104cfu/ml. All the samples exhibited the presence of Coliform counts within the range of 1.0-9.5x104cfu/ml and Staphylococcus aurous, Micrococcus acidophilus and Klebsiella aerogenes species were bacteria isolated from the samples collected. Heavy metals were also estimated in all the collected samples. Chromium and lead were absent but cadmium was present and is within 0.01-0.025mg/g. The lowest is from orange flavour at camp with 0.01 mg/g while the highest is from Lafenwa in pineapple flavour with 0.025mg/g. Total titratable acidity ranges from 0.175 – 0.219 and the pH ranges from 4.21±0.14 and 5.40±0.00. Hence, these implies that Lego flavoured drink is bacteriologically and chemically unsafe for consumption.
GROWTH RESPONSE OF MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.) TO METAL TOXICITY
Authors: OLADELE E. O. , YAHAYA T. , ADEWUMI O. O. 
Published: August 2021

This study evaluated the phytotoxic effects of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) as Pb(NO3)2 and Zn(NO3)2 on maize (Zea mays L) considering the plants’ growth indices, biomass as well as soil parameters and soil microorganisms after treatment. The results showed that plant growth significantly reduced with increasing concentrations (100,150 and 200 mgkg-1) of Pb and Zn contamination. The results indicated significant inhibitory effect on the growth parameters (stem height, root length, leaf area, fresh and dry weight) measured, compared to control experiment. This study therefore revealed that the heavy metals have harmful effects on maize’s growth. Consequently, the consumption of such contaminated cereal by man and animals can lead to their death after the metals have biomagnified in their systems. Lead and Zn application in general, affected the vegetative growth; both fresh and dry weights were reduced with increasing concentrations of the metals. These results show that these metals are toxic to human and animal health. As a result, farmers should be encouraged to use water from good source for irrigation and also cultivate on metal-free soils if possible to save lives.

Published: August 2021

Garcinia kola stem bark forms part of recipes used traditionally for the treatment of malaria. In view of the prevalence of malaria in Nigeria, this study investigated the phytochemical, mineral and proximate components, as well as antiplasmodial activity and toxicological effect of Garcinia kola stem bark extract against Plasmodium berghei infected mice. The plant sample was screened for phytochemical, mineral and proximate components using standard laboratory techniques. Thirty five mice were divided into seven groups of five mice each. Malaria was induced in all the groups intraperitoneally with 0.2 mL of infected blood containing about 107 of P. berghei parasitized red blood cells, except group 6 (extract only) and group 7 (normal control). Group 1 received 100 mg/kg bodyweight of the extract orally. Group 2 received 200 mg/kg of the extract. Group 3 received 300 mg/kg of the extract. Group 4 received 5 mg/kg of chloroquine. Group 5 (induced but untreated control). The haematology, liver function enzymes and histopathology of the liver were carried out using standard protocols. The plant was rich in alkaloids, iron and fibre. The extract treated groups (1-3) showed significant decrease (p≤0.05) in parasitemia level after seven days of treatment. There was no significant difference in AST, ALT, ALP, bilirubin and GGT activities in all the extract treated groups compared to the control. No pathological changes were evident in histopathology of all the groups treated with various concentration of the extract. The result obtained from this study confirmed the antiplasmodial activity of methanol extract of G. kola stem bark. The highest inhibition of P. berghie parasite was observed at dose 300 mg/kg comparable to chloroquine, with no hepatoxicity which confirmed the safety of G. kola. The phytochemicals and nutritional components could be responsible for the observed antiplasmodial activity of the plant.
