Frontispieces in German Enlightenment Logic Textbooks as Programmatic Visual Aids
Authors: Круглов Алексей Николаевич 
Published: October 2021

В статье показано, каким образом во фронтисписах логических компендиумов как особых визуальных средствах отразились основные споры и проблемы в понимании предмета, задач и роли логики в немецкой философии эпохи Просвещения. Антропологический характер логики, наличие теологических оснований, понимание логики как средства справедливости, поиск правильного пути исследования, поиск новых истин, положение логики среди других философских и нефилософских дисциплин, связь логики с задачами Просвещения - различные позиции по этим вопросам автор демонстрирует, анализируя фронтисписы из логических произведений Хр. Томазия, Хр. Вольфа, Хр. Вайзе, Н. И. Гундлинга, И. П. Ройша, А. Рюдигера, А. Ф. Хоффмана, Хр. А. Крузия, И. Г. Дарьеса, И. Ланге, И. Хр. Ланге, А. Бёма, И. Хр. Эшенбаха и др. В заключительной части проводится сравнение немецких фронтисписов из логических компендиумов, а также отраженный в них образ Просвещения, с фронтисписами в «Умословии или умственной философии» И. С. Рижского и «Российской грамматике» М. В. Ломоносова.
The paper’s issue is how the main debates on the understanding of the logic subject, tasks and role have been reflected in frontispieces of logical compendiums in the German philosophy of the Enlightenment era. I argue that frontispieces are special visual aids that help to demonstrate various positions on such problems as the anthropological character of logic, the existence of theological foundations, logic treatment as an instrument for achieving justice, search for the right way of inquiry, discovery of new truths, the place of logic among other philosophical and non-philosophical disciplines and its connections with the aims of the Enlightenment. I analyze frontispieces from logical works of Chr. Thomasius, Chr. Wolff, Chr. Weise, N. H. Gundling, J. P. Reusch, A. Rüdiger, A. F. Hoffmann, Chr. A. Crusius, J. G. Darjes, J. Lange, J. Chr. Lange, A. Boehm, and J. Chr. Eschenbach. The final section compares the German frontispieces from logical compendiums and the Enlightenment image, which is introduced there, with the frontispieces in I. S. Rizhsky’s Umoslovie, or Rational Philosophy and M. V. Lomonosov’s Russian Grammar.

Published: October 2021

La SRP (« Space Reference Points ») est une base mondiale, précise, dense et homogène de points 3D géoréférencés qui est réalisée à partir de l’archive d’images SPOT6/7. Ce projet, mené en partenariat entre l’Institut national de l’information géographique et forestière (IGN) et Airbus Defense and Space (ADS), permet le calage géométrique automatique d’images très haute résolution avec une précision de l’ordre de 3m partout dans le monde.
La SRP sur l’Afrique a été produite au cours de l’année 2019. Les contrôles qualité confirment le respect des spécifications attendues pour ce produit. Les particularités des paysages rencontrés sur ce continent ont conduit à intégrer de nouvelles fonctionnalités à la chaîne de production. Tout d’abord, la sélection des images SPOT6/7 a été enrichie sur la zone intertropicale en prenant en compte les masques de nuage fournis avec les produits, permettant d’obtenir une densité de points SRP optimale pour la zone. Ensuite, un prototype de socle de calage exploitant des ortho-images Sentinel-2 a montré la capacité de cette méthodologie à assurer la spécification de localisation à 3m sur un archipel d’îles (ici le Cap Vert). Afin de valider pleinement le produit, l’article présente deux tests d’exploitation sur le Nigéria pour des productions 2D et sur la ville de Marrakech pour des productions 3D. Ils démontrent la capacité de la SRP à caler différents types d’images et à atteindre la cible de précision de la base. La SRP est destinée, dès 2021, à assurer le calage d’images dans différents projets et notamment, de façon massive, dans le segment sol Pléiades Neo.

Published: October 2021

Purpose: This retrospective study compares point-of-care ocular ultrasound to MRI in order to establish preliminary data for and identify challenges to a multicenter study into the utility of ocular ultrasound for diagnosing optic neuritis. Methods: Our ultrasound archive was queried to identify subjects suspected of having optic neuritis who underwent ocular ultrasound and MRI of the brain or orbit. Blinded ultrasounds were reviewed by ultrasound faculty. The presence of optic disc elevation, optic nerve, or sheath dilation, and overall impression were recorded and compared to MRI results. Sensitivity and specificity of each ultrasound finding and the overall impression, as well as agreement between the raters, were calculated. Results: Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for MRI confirmed optic neuritis was 100 % (95 % CI 54.1-100) and 58.3 % (95 % CI 27.7-84.8). Optic nerve sheath diameter had nearly perfect agreement (κ = 0.8828), however agreement on optic disc elevation (κ = 0.5641), nerve diameter (κ = 0.2174), and overall agreement (κ = 0.1818) were moderate, fair, and poor, respectively. Conclusions: This preliminary study estimates test characteristics of ocular ultrasound for the diagnosis of optic neuritis for the purposes of power analysis and to identify potential pitfalls in preparation for a larger prospective investigation.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic mechanism of microporous sheep acellular dermal matrix (ADM) combined with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC) to promote the healing of full-thickness skin defect.Methods: hUCMSC was co-cultured on microporous sheep ADM to form composite biological dressings. Seventy-two nude mice were selected to make full-thickness skin injury models and randomly divided into 3 groups (hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM group, sheep ADM group and iodophor gauze group), with 24 mice in each group. The wound healing rate of each group was detected at 14 d, 21 d and 28 d after operation, qRT-PCR technique was used to detect the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the wound tissues, and the immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of Collagen I and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and t test.Results: At 14 d after operation, the wound healing rate of the hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM group was (65.34 ± 14.72)%, which was significantly higher than that of the iodophor gauze group [(37.54 ± 10.21)%], and higher than that of the sheep ADM group [(49.08 ± 11.16)%], the differences were statistically significant (t = 19.52, 14.72; p < .05). With the gradual healing of the wound, at 28 d after operation, the wound healing rate of the hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM group was (98.63 ± 15.41)%, which was significantly higher than that of the iodophor gauze group [(81.74 ± 16.27)%], and higher than that of the sheep ADM group [(63.47 ± 14.80)%], the differences were statistically significant (t = -16.42, 20.35; p < .05). The expression of Bax in the wound tissues of the hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM group was significantly reduced, especially at 21 d after operation, the expression level was 0.25 ± 0.06, which was significantly lower than the iodophor gauze group (0.53 ± 0.16) and the sheep ADM group (0.41 ± 0.12), the differences were statistically significant (t = 3.52, -2.83; p < .05). The expression of Bcl-2 in the wound tissues of the hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM group was significantly higher than those ofthe other two groups, especially at 21 d after operation, the expression level was 0.63 ± 0.19, which was significantly higher than the iodophor gauze group (0.34 ± 0.09) and the sheep ADM group (0.46 ± 0.13), the differences were statistically significant (t = 5.31, -6.07; p < .05). Immunohistochemical detection showed that the expression of Collagen I and VEGF in the hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM group was slightly more than that of the sheep ADM group and the iodophor gauze group, but the effect was not remarkable.Conclusions: hUCMSC + microporous sheep ADM composite dressing can promote the healing of the full-thickness skin injury and reduce the production of apoptotic cells by carrying hUCMSC.

Published: October 2021

Aims: To establish the shelf -life of mango fruits coated with unmodified and modified M. esculenta edible coating at low (4 ± 2°C) and room temperature (23 ± 2°C) conditions.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was done at Moi University, School of Sciences and Aerospace studies, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry between January 2021 and June 2021.
Methodology: Ocimum gratissimum leaves essential oils was obtained by hydro-distillation method using Clevenger apparatus. Preparation and modification of the coating were homogenized at 70 ± 2 °C. Physico-chemical parameters including weight loss, titratable acidity (TA), Vitamin C concentration, total soluble solids (TSS), and pH were used to establish the fruits’ shelf-life.
Results: The modified M. esculenta (cassava) starch coating (1.5%) treatment, their interactions and storage duration significantly affected the physico-chemical parameters of mango fruits. The modified coating-maintained TA 0.66%, 0.87%, reduced weight loss by 27.81%,14.62%, delayed the increase of TSS 7.50%, and pH 5.20, 4.93 while retaining the vitamins C 8.13 mg/100g, 15.09mg/100g concentration up to eighteen days and twenty-seven day of storage at 23 ± 2°C and 4 ± 2°C respectively. The distilled water treatment (control) reduced TA to 0.11%, 0.23%, increased weight loss to 47.12%, 24.21%, TSS 20.22%, 17.41%, and pH 8.21, 5.20 while retaining the vitamin C 3.74 mg/100 g, 8.13 mg/100 g concentration at 23 ± 2°C and 4 ± 2°C respectively.
Conclusion: Results of the present study showed that M. esculenta edible coating incorporated with O. gratissimum essential oil extended the shelf life of mangoes up to eighteen and twenty-seven days of storage at room temperature (25 ± 2°C) and low temperature (4 ± 2°C), respectively. This treatment might be an effective farm-based post-harvest treatment in prolonging the shelf life of fresh produce while maintaining their physico-chemical parameters.

Authors: Omeni Ihejirika Peters , George Aderigha Ades 
Published: October 2021

The focus is on Portfolio Diversification and Performance of Deposit Money Banks: analyzing the Nigerian banking industry for the period 1990-2019. The study measured treasury bills, ordinary shares, investments in subsidiaries, and foreign investments outside Nigeria as proxies for Portfolio Diversification while Return on Equity as proxy for performance of deposit money banks for the periods under review. In the course of the study, data were obtained from the website of Central Bank Statistical bulletin and annual report of Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test option was used to test for unit roots. The ARDL and Bounds test were used to estimate the short and long run relationships respectively. The study discovered that at short run, treasury bills, and ordinary shares are negatively related and not significantly related to return on equity while investments in subsidiaries and foreign balances outside Nigeria are positively related to return on equity of DMBs at most lag periods. However, it was further observed that at different lag periods the variables do not significantly predict the direction of return on equity of DMBs. Long run relationship was also observed to exist amid treasury bills, acquisition of ordinary shares, investment in subsidiaries, ,foreign investments outside Nigeria and performance of all deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period 1990 – 2019.at short run, DMBs should diversify into investments in subsidiaries , as this would improve return on equity. Deposit Money Banks should also diversify into foreign holdings that would yield positive net present values. Deposit money Banks in Nigeria should diversify into foreign investments with the right mix that would increase performance. These were some of the recommendations proffered, to the Government, monetary authorities, Central Bank of Nigeria, researchers and Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria.

Published: October 2021

Bioremediation is an efficient and environmentally friendly method for the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soils. This study investigated the effects of biosurfactant alkyl polyglycosides (APG) on enhanced biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils. Three soil samples were contaminated with two different grades of crude oil (medium and Light). Alkyl polyglucoside was synthesised and subjected to FTIR for comfirmation of the product before it was applied in the remediation of contaminated soil. The alkyl polyglucoside is used as a treatment regime in the remediation of the hydrocarbon contamination in the three soil samples. Results of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) before remediation with bio-surfactant showed that samples contaminated with medium crude for Eneka, Ozuoba and Rukpokwu were 15744.00 mg/kg, 11359.00 mg/kg and 11470.00 mg/kg respectively and after remediation reduced to 4276.00 mg/kg, 4265.00 mg/kg, and 3205.00 mg/kg, showing a reduction percentage of 72.84%, 62.44% and 72.05% respectively. Soil samples contaminated with light crude showed result of TPH of 11339.00 mg/kg, 10662 mg/kg and 10226 mg/kg and after remediation reduced to 2981 mg/kg, 3879 mg/kg, and 4245 mg/kg respectively showing a reduction percentage of 73.71%, 63.62 % and 58.49% respectively. The enhanced efficiency of the bio-surfactant at degrading total petroleum hydrocarbons was achieved as a result of the increased solubility thus improving the bioavailability of the hydrocarbons due to the action of the alkyl polyglucoside.

Published: October 2021

Based on the Weibull-G Power probability distribution family, we have proposed a new family of probability distributions, named by us the Max Weibull-G power series distributions, which may be applied in order to solve some reliability problems. This implies the fact that the Max Weibull-G power series is the distribution of a random variable max (X1 ,X2 ,...XN) where X1 ,X2 ,... are Weibull-G distributed independent random variables and N is a natural random variable the distribution of which belongs to the family of power series distribution. The main characteristics and properties of this distribution are analyzed.
Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification as a Rapid Molecular Method for Pseudomonas aeruginosa T3SS ExoY Gene Septicemia Detection in Beta- Lactamase Species Co-Infections
Authors: Ombega J. Mageto , Zhong Zhao-Hua 
Published: October 2021

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most important causative agent of infection in chronically ill patients admitted in hospitals globally. Coupled with its, mixed symptomatology, rapid drug resistance tendency and its causation of severe disease, a fast, reliable and affordable diagnostic technique is required to enable healthcare providers expeditiously mitigate its progression and eventual treatment. The Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) technique has the potential to serve as a simple, rapid, specific, sensitive and cost-effective point-of-care diagnostic tool.
Broad Objective: To investigate Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification as a molecular technique for microbial diagnostic and prognostic predictor.
Study Design: This study was aimed at evaluating LAMP assay against Simple Polymerase chain reaction and Multiplex PCR on the diagnosis of P. aeruginosa in mixed clinical samples.
Materials and Methods: This study developed P. aeruginosa Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (PaLAMP) assay to target the ExoY gene with appropriate primer testing and validation procedures. Culture of patient bacterial samples was done on MHA and MHB medium, grown overnight in an Incubator and a incubating shaker at 37oc respectively. Housekeeping gene were identified through online bioinformatics and blasted against known sequences. A set of 6 primers, comprising 2 outer primers (F3 and B3), 2 inner primers (FIP and BIP), and 2 loop primers (FLP and BLP), were designed. Microbial DNA extraction was done followed by PCR amplification as a classical identification using LAMP outer primers 9(F3 and B3). LAMP amplicons were detected by real time turbidimetry (LA-500) at 64°C for 40 minutes as well as under UV light with 1.0 μl of 1/10-diluted original SYBR Green I.
Results: LAMP validation against traditional PCR shows a high limit of detection at 10-6ng/µl compared to 10-5ng/µl for PCR. The findings are consistent with outcomes for real time turbidimetric outcomes. Real time LAMP turbidimetric results was cross validated by direct observation through SYBR fluorescence under UV light for positive P. aeruginosa detection through positive amplification.
Conclusion: Thus far, Loop mediated isothermal amplification show significantly high limit of detection comparable to standard PCR, its use in field based diagnosis offers an opportunity for a cheap, reliable and faster method to determine disease trends and therapy approaches. This method can be applied in primary care to enhance accuracy in diagnosis and thereby prompt initiation of mitigation treatment regimens.
