NEW MODEL FOR SOLAR RADIATION ESTIMATION FROM MEASURED AIR TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN NIGERIA
Authors: Salisu S 
Published: June 2021

Solar radiation prediction is essential for effective and reliable solar power project, predicted solar radiation can be used for accurate solar energy prediction. Solar radiation measurement is not sufficient in Nigeria for various reasons such as maintenance and repair cost, calibration of instrument, and expansive of measuring device. In this paper, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model was developed to predict the monthly average solar radiation in Nigeria. Air temperature of monthly mean minimum temperature, maximum temperature and relative humidity obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) were used as inputs to the ANFIS model and monthly mean global solar radiation was used as out of the model. Statistical evaluation of the model was done based on root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient R to examine the accuracy of the developed model. The values of RMSE and R for the training data are 0.91315MJ/m2 and 0.91264MJ/m2 respectively. The obtained result showed a good correlation between the predicted and measured solar radiation which proves ANFIS to be a good model for solar radiation prediction.Â Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.35
MODELLING GAIT SYNDROME IN HUNTINGTONâ€™S DISEASE: THE GENETIC ALGORITHM APPROACH
Authors: Ajibola OOE , Ogunwolu L 
Published: June 2021

Huntingtonâ€™s disease (HD) which usually affects the patients at middle age results from malfunctioning of the basal ganglia. It is characterized by cognitive impairment, involuntary movements, neuropsychiatric and psychological disturbances. Early motor signs of Huntingtonâ€™s disease typically include the gradual onset of clumsiness, balance difficulties, and brief, random, fidgeting movements. A popular approach to solving symptoms arising from HD has been through the administration of drugs. But drugs debase human activities, thus the application of electroconvulsive therapy. This work proposes a genetic algorithmic (GA) simulation of chorea in HD patient as a pedestal for the design of a therapeutic device aimed at managing the phenomenon. Earlier efforts have led us to the formulation of such models in recent past. We also compared the GA model with our foremost effort: the electromechanical model, and we observe that the GA model adequately capture the physiological presentation of gait phenomenon in Huntingtonâ€™s disease.Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.37

A central composite design (CCD) under the response surface methodology (RSM)was used to study the effect of three adsorption variables (pH, initial concentration, and adsorbent dosage) in order to determine the optimum process conditions for the adsorptions of Ni (II) and Cr (III) onto sulphuric acid modified sorghum bicolor activated carbon (SBAC).This study yielded removal efficiency of 98.89 % for Ni (II) and 94.27 % for Cr (III) ion under optimal conditions of pH (8), initial metal ion concentration (25 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (10 mg) and pH (7), initial metal ion concentration (5 mg/L), dosage (15 mg);respectively. Statistical analysis of variance results showed a good correlation existed between the experimental and predicted data with R2 values of 0.99 for Ni and 0.98 for Cr. The equilibrium data for Ni (II) adsorption was best described using Freundlich model while Langmuir model best fit Cr (III) adsorption. The mechanism of adsorption for both Ni and Cr adsorptions on SBAC followed Pseudo second order kinetic model.Â Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.41

Authors: Isa MN 
Published: June 2021

Strengthening of concrete structures have become inevitable due to unavoidable factors such as fatigue and aggressive environmental conditions causing deterioration of concrete structures. Many researchers have turned in the direction of using various high strength and high performance concretes due to their high structural and durability properties, for the purpose of repair and strengthening of concrete structures against these aggressive conditions. As a result, this study carryout experimental, numerical and analytical investigation to study the behaviour of plain concrete (PC) beams strengthened with High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (HPFRC) layer using three different jacketing configurations and tested in flexure. Results show significant improvement in both stiffness and load bearing capacity of plain concrete beams.Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.6

Published: June 2021

Los factores emocionales y su desarrollo en contextos donde abunda la práctica deportiva están en el punto de mira de estos últimos años. Esto es así pues la actividad física tiene una estrecha relación con la canalización de las emociones y su efecto en el rendimiento deportivo, así como las diferencias sexuales en la comprensión de estos términos. Por estas razones, la presente investigación presenta como principal objetivo describir el nivel de práctica de actividad física, inteligencia emocional y las diferencias entre sexos en escolares de educación primaria, con una muestra de 281 estudiantes de educación primaria de edades comprendidas entre 10 y 12 años en la provincia de Granada. Los instrumentos que se han utilizado fueron el TMMS-24, basado en Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) y un cuestionario ad-hoc para recoger las variables sociodemográficas. Los resultados muestran aquellos que practican más actividad física, siendo en su mayoría los chicos, tienen un mejor control de sus emociones en sus tres dimensiones, resaltando la capacidad de reparación, la cual presenta junto a la claridad emocional los valores más altos, donde las chicas presentan una leve mayoría. Además de diferencias significativas en las relaciones entre sexo-deportes y sexo-dimensiones de la inteligencia emocional.
Abstract.Emotional elements have been the focus of attention in recent years in the context where sport practice is common. Therefore, physical activity has a close relationship with emotional expression and effect on sports performance, as well as sexual differences. Due to this fact, the main purpose of the present research is to describe the level of physical activity, emotional intelligence and sex differences in school children from primary education. A sample of 281 students aged between 10 and 12 years old in the city of Granada was studied. The instruments used are TMMS-24, based on Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) and an ad-hoc questionnaire to collect socio-demographic variables. The results indicate a higher level of physical activity, with most boys having better control of their emotions in the three dimensions, highlighting their ability to repair themselves, as well as their emotional clarity, with girls showing a slightly higher level. In addition, there are significant differences in the relationship between sex-sports and sex-dimensions of emotional intelligence.

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a constituição da identidade de comunidades quilombolas no Brasil por meio de suas práticas corporais, identificando na produção do conhecimento temas específicos, abordagens de pesquisa, teorias e conceitos que têm sido mobilizados. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa teórica de tipo bibliográfica, caracterizada como uma revisão narrativa. O levantamento de literatura foi realizado em bases de dados por meio de unitermos que nos levaram a 77 artigos indexados. Após a operação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram analisados 11 artigos. Os autores se ampararam em discussões teóricas que envolvem conceitos ou categorias sobre memória, hibridismo, etnogênese, técnicas corporais, etnia, cultura popular, identidade e patrimônio cultural. Quanto as práticas corporais investigadas observamos 10 manifestações diferentes que se caracterizam como práticas coletivas comunitárias e regionais. Assim, a identidade quilombola se apresenta sob aspectos plurais, por meio da inexistência de uma identidade quilombola e da prevalência de identidades quilombolas no plural.
Abstract.

Published: June 2021

En los últimos años, ha aumentado la importancia de las emociones en la educación escolar. La bibliografía actual ha puesto de manifiesto los beneficios de generar climas de aula positivos, en los que existan relaciones afectivas entre los agentes involucrados en el proceso educativo. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo conocer la relación entre el clima de aula generado y las emociones experimentadas por los estudiantes. La hipótesis planteada fue que el clima de aula generado podría predecir las emociones experimentadas por los estudiantes. Para ello, se utilizó una muestra de 417 alumnos y alumnas de educación secundaria (44.1% hombres y 55.9% mujeres) pertenecientes a tres centros educativos de Huelva (Andalucía, España). A estos estudiantes se les preguntó sobre el clima existente en el aula y las emociones experimentadas durante sus clases de educación física. Los resultados del estudio confirman la relación entre el clima de aula y las emociones, destacando el poder predictor de las dimensiones “satisfacción e involucración en el aula” y “relación con el profesor” para predecir las emociones experimentadas por los estudiantes. Dichos resultados permiten poner en valor la importancia de generar climas positivos a través de la creación de vínculos emocionales entre profesores y alumnos. De esta forma, los alumnos y las alumnas se sentirán a gusto y generarán emociones positivas tan importantes en el proceso educativo.

Authors: Kvasnov Anton V. , Shkodyrev Vyacheslav P. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract. The article discusses the method for the classification of non-moving civil objects for information received from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by synthetic aperture radar (SAR). A theoretical approach to analysis of civil objects can be estimated by cross-entropy using a naive Bayesian classifier. The entropy of target spots on SAR images revaluates depending on the altitude and aspect angle of a UAV. The paper shows that classification of the target for three classes able to predict with fair accuracy P=0,964 based on an artificial neural network. The study of results reveals an advantage compared with other radar recognition methods for a criterion of the constant false-alarm rate (PCFAR<0.01). The reliability was confirmed by checking the initial data using principal component analysis.
