Published: November 2024

Impacts of hostel life on students healthy and overall academic performance in majority cases is multifaceted. Students decide to become hostel residency due to the demanding need for better education, which pushes students away from their comfort zone and drags them to a new home which supports and facilities their growth especially if areas where there is shortage of basic facilities in the particular area in which they were initially staying in. Hostel life has numerous benefits bounded to it such as peer support which helps boost their academic journey, access to essential facilities, and an environment which supports and creates an environment where students can delicate their time towards studies. However, along with this advantages there are numerous challenges that students residing in hostels have to face which includes peer pressure, social disturbance and financial related issues and in one way or another the implication of effective hostel management and various hostel related policies can help mitigate the issues which students face as this particular body houses will ensure that an inclusive and supportive environment is created that will help carter students with diverse needs and various backgrounds are looked after. Along with this collective efforts from education stakeholders and other institutions support is needed that can ensure that hostel related stress in effectively handled and students’ academic performance is not compromised.

The nutritional variations of food plants play a significant role in the health and population dynamics of wildlife. The body conditions of vulnerable greater one-horned (GOH) rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) in Manas National Park, Assam, India deteriorate noticeably during the late monsoon to winter, and improve after routine grassland burning, when rhinos feed on the newly emerged leaves and young shoots of grasses. To investigate this, we analysed the nutritional parameters of the leaves of five grass species preferred by rhinos, including three tall (Saccharum spontaneum, S.narenga and Imperata cylindrica) and two short grasses (Cynodon dactylon and Axonopus compressus), before and after grassland burning. Leaf samples were collected in triplicate from five different sites in MNP before (September) and after (March) grassland burning. Biochemical analyses showed the highest crude protein content in S. narenga before and after grassland burning. S. spontaneum and S. narenga had the highest and second highest fat contents, respectively, after grassland burning. Crude fibre content in S. narenga increased significantly (p < 0.05) after grassland burning, but not in the other two tall grasses. The total ash content and the acid-insoluble ash content increased significantly (p < 0.05) in post-burning samples of all five grasses. The short grasses A. compressus and C. dactylon showed the highest calcium and phosphorus contents, respectively, after grassland burning, highlighting their significance in the diets of GOH rhinos along with tall grasses with higher proximate nutrient contents, and their contribution to the improved health status of rhinos after grassland burning. This study will be helpful for improved management of rhino health and their habitats, essential to maintaining the progress made in MNP since the 2008 to 2012 GOH rhino reintroductions under the Rhino Vision 2020 initiative.
Tusk metrics and pair symmetry in savannah elephants
Authors: Parker Ian SC 
Published: November 2024

The right and left tusks and from both genders from five separately culled savannah elephant clans were measured, recording weight (n = 2,453), overall length (n = 563), external length beyond the gingivae (n = 158), internal length within the alveolus (n = 158) and circumference at the lip (n = 158). The increase in tusk weights and lengths with age was reconfirmed as basically exponential in males and more linear in females up to their fifth decade. Between the right and left tusks, the five metrics were on average symmetrical (in the sense of being mirror images of one another), and predictive of both age and each other (i.e. from one the others can be deduced). Strikingly, however, pair length symmetry is less between within alveoli, where growth takes place, than between their corresponding external parts, where tusks are essentially dead tissue. Such greater external symmetry can only occur if the shorter tusk grows faster to catch up with its partner or the longer tooth is reduced through wear towards parity with its partner, or both.

Published: November 2024

Protected areas (PAs) in southern Africa provide refuge to important megafauna such as the savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana). Sections of these PAs are often transfrontier conservation complexes, whose objective of which is to facilitate historic patterns of wildlife dispersal. Knowledge of megafauna home ranges, habitat use, and dispersal in key PAs can inform vital decision-making for elephant conservation. Location data were derived from satellite collars fitted on 26 savannah elephants from 2016 to 2022 in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe to investigate seasonal and sex differences in elephants' home range sizes, home range overlap and their interaction with environmental variables. Differences in the size of home ranges between sexes in all seasons were not significant. Both male and female elephants had high site fidelity, retaining 60% of their home ranges between consecutive seasons. Only females, possibly tracking forage quality showed reduced overlap of home ranges between the hot dry and hot wet seasons. Male elephants preferred vegetation typles dominated by Colophospermum mopane, whereas females preferred more diverse upland vegetation types, showing a preference for higher elevations than males over all seasons. In areas where elephant movement is restricted by fences and human settlements, continuous monitoring of elephant space use is receommended and research dynmics should be taken into account when developing site-specific management plans for African elephants.

On one minimal hyperbolic Gellerstedt operator with internal degeneracy
Authors: Rogovoy Alexander , Kalmenov Tynysbek 
Published: November 2024

The minimal operators generated by overdetermined boundary value problems for differential equations are extremely important in the description of regular boundary value problems for differential equations, and are also widely used in the study of local properties of solutions. The study of overdetermined boundary value problems is closely related to the theory of correct restrictions and extensions and the construction of minimal differential operators. In addition, for inverse problems of mathematical physics arising from applications, when determining unknown data, it is necessary to study problems with overdetermined boundary conditions, including minimal operators, which is reflected in the study of problems, including for hyperbolic equations and systems arising in physics, geophysics, seismic tomography, medicine and many other practical areas. Thus, the study of minimal operators is of both theoretical and applied interest. In this paper, a criterion for the invertibility of the minimal hyperbolic Gellerstedt operator with internal degeneracy is established. The proof is based on the Gellerstedt potential, properties of solutions to the Goursat problem, and properties of special functions. It should be noted that the Gellerstedt differential operator has numerous applications in transonic gas dynamics, the theory of infinitesimal surface bends, the instantaneous theory of shells with curvature of variable sign, magnetodynamics and hydrodynamics, and the conditions of invertibility of minimal operators imposed on the right side of the initial equation are widely used in the study of the so-called source problem, which arises in a variety of applications inverse problems of mathematical physics.

Poésies de la naissance dans les spectacles de Joël Pommerat
Authors: Auzolle Cécile 
Published: November 2024

Depuis les années 1990, les spectacles de Joël Pommerat explorent la dimension sensible du monde contemporain. L’enfant y cristallise l’amour, la haine ou la projection des familles. Les marchands (2006), Au monde (2004), La réunification des deux Corées (2013) et Des suées (1993) révèlent les arcanes de la conception. Cet enfant (2006) montre comment la gestation modèle le parent en devenir. Deux scènes de mise au monde, issues de Cet enfant et de Pinocchio (2008), permettent enfin de mettre en lumière les attentes et les angoisses entourant la découverte d’un être semblable et étranger à son·sa géniteur·trice, en miroir du processus de création artistique.
N’être feu : Bond, Mayenburg, Hilling, Gaillard
Authors: Diaz Sylvain 
Published: November 2024

À partir de l’étude de pièces de quatre auteur·trices européen·nes, il s’agira de s’interroger sur un tropisme inattendu du théâtre contemporain : souvent liée à l’eau, la naissance s’y trouve en effet associée au feu. Chez Edward Bond comme chez Marius von Mayenburg, chez Anja Hilling comme chez Julien Gaillard, la mise au monde est en effet mise à mort. Cette coïncidence ne manque pas d’interroger : de quoi ces dramaturgies si diverses sont-elles le nom? L’hypothèse qui sera ici défendue est qu’elles signalent l’avènement d’une pyro-scène (Pyne, 2021) où l’exister n’est plus inconditionnel : il est toujours sous contrainte du feu.
Le mythe de Phèdre et d’Hippolyte dans la dramaturgie néohellénique
Authors: Blessios Athanassios G. 
Published: November 2024

Le mythe de Phèdre et d’Hippolyte était très répandu et mis en scène dès l’Antiquité. En Grèce, on constate un intérêt pour son adaptation depuis les dernières décennies. Deux pièces et un poème présentant une forte dimension théâtrale des XXe et XXIe siècles retiennent notre attention : Φαίδρα (Phèdre) (s.d.) d’Aristomenis Proveleggios, « Φαίδρα » (« Phèdre ») (1974-1975; 1978) de Yánnis Rítsos et Φαίδρα ή Άλκηστη Love Stories (Phèdre ou Alceste Love Stories) (2007) d’Elena Penga. Phèdre s’avère en être le personnage principal. Sa relation plutôt inachevée avec Hippolyte donne l’opportunité aux auteur·trices de mettre de l’avant des préoccupations existentielles, psychanalytiques, sexuées et sociales. Les protagonistes essaient de gérer une envie qui leur est interdite ou plutôt l’annulation de leur relation qui les conduit à leur propre mort. Leur rapprochement s’appuie sur le désir sexuel, surtout de la part de Phèdre, mais celle-ci tente également d’y apporter une dimension sentimentale et psychique. L’avènement de la mort ne semble pas douloureux pour Phèdre, tandis qu’Hippolyte se meut entre sa victimisation par l’héroïne et l’acceptation de sa mort tout en gardant un esprit de combat. Ces oeuvres enrichissent la dramaturgie grecque et la perception des mythes grecs antiques dans la mesure où elles soulignent justement la problématique de la relation entre la vie, l’amour et la mort.
Green Libraries in Ghana: Evaluating the Effectiveness and Challenges of Environmental Sustainability Efforts
Authors: Osman Hawa , Dango Joana 
Published: November 2024

Aims: Public libraries are integral to community development, offering access to information, education, and cultural resources. In response to the imperative of environmental responsibility, libraries are increasingly adopting sustainable practices to reduce their ecological footprint. This paper identified the environmental sustainability initiatives, assessed their effectiveness and explored the challenges faced by public libraries in implementing environmental sustainability initiatives
Methodology: This study employed a positivist research paradigm and survey design to investigate environmental sustainability initiatives in eleven geographically diverse public libraries in Ghana. Utilizing purposive and stratified random sampling, 70 library staff members were surveyed through tailored closed-ended questionnaires. The analysis focused on identifying the initiatives, assessing their effectiveness, and exploring implementation challenges. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA to evaluate the study objectives, ensuring a rigorous examination of the data collected from library staff experiences with sustainability initiatives
Results: The research findings indicate that gender does not significantly affect staff involvement in environmental sustainability initiatives in libraries, but age, education, job roles, and experience do. Younger, more educated individuals in specific roles showed greater participation. Varied perceptions about sustainability initiatives were noted among different demographics. This study identified critical challenges faced by libraries in implementing environmental sustainability initiatives. Financial constraints emerged as a predominant barrier (F-statistic = 12.909, P = 0.00). Insufficient staff training and awareness also hindered efforts (F-statistic = 9.834, P = 0.00). Limited management support (F-statistic = 7.739, P = 0.00) and resistance to change (F-statistic = 14.466, P = 0.00) further impeded progress. Inadequate infrastructure was a significant challenge (F-statistic = 21.486, P = 0.00), emphasizing the need for investment in sustainable technologies.
Conclusion: The environmental sustainability initiatives in Ghana’s public libraries demonstrate a commitment to green practices and community engagement. By implementing tailored awareness campaigns, continuous staff training, and inclusive policies, libraries can effectively promote eco-friendly behaviors. Addressing challenges such as financial constraints and infrastructure limitations will further enhance their role in fostering sustainable development.

Published: November 2024

Aim: The present study aims to design a molecular authentication protocol for the renowned polyherbal formulation Triphala with the help of recent advances in the DNA barcoding technology.
Purpose of Work: In recent decades, ayurvedic polyherbal medications have gained immense popularity worldwide. The quality of some of these herbal products has raised serious concerns regarding their authenticity and safety. The therapeutically potent original herbal species component of the polyherbal formulations are often substituted with cheaper or easily available adulterants or sometimes omitted entirely. In this case, molecular species authentication methods such as DNA barcoding can provide a far safer and efficient way to ensure species authenticity in polyherbal formulations.
Methodology: In the present study, ITS DNA barcoding based species authentication was performed for the polyherbal formulation – Triphala. For all the three component species of Triphala i.e. Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula and Phyllanthus emblica, species authenticating primers were designed from their ITS barcoding regions and experimentally validated. The presented method was applied to authenticate all the three herbal species before they are blended in together to generate “Triphala” mixture as well as for quality assurance purpose for the already blended and processed formulation Triphala. This work also addresses the challenges in isolating DNA of satisfactory quality and quantity from highly acidic, polyphenolic, and commercially processed Triphala churna samples after making some critical modifications in the traditional CTAB method; thus enabling their molecular authentication. Utilizing the designed species authenticating primers, a quality assurance inspection was conducted on seven Triphala churna samples from reliable pharmacies that are available in the market.
Results: The present study successfully authenticates all the three ingredient species i.e. Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula and Phyllanthus emblica in commercially available Triphala churna samples with the help of ITS DNA barcoding technology.
