Published: June 2023

Alignment between business needs and Information Technology (IT) strategy is one of the main factors for the success of a business. One of them is about the interface design of the application used by the user. The current condition in the company is that marketing and sales activities only use social media such as WhatsApp and Facebook. These cause problems in two business activities, namely a less broad market coverage, frequent barriers to communication, less efficient delivery, and an obstacle to the recording by employees. This research aims to design a sales application user interface that suits business needs using a Design Thinking approach by collecting user characteristics using the User Persona tool. The test uses Usability Testing by giving 4 User Scenarios to each respondent to run and complete on the prototype. The test results show that respondents can complete all User Scenarios in the first iteration by 100%. Based on the test results, the design is good, in line with business needs, and accepted by potential users.
Synchrony in whitefish stock dynamics: disentangling the effects of local drivers and climate

Published: June 2023

Synchronic variations in abundance in populations of the same species are common phenomena encountered in various environments, including lakes, and different taxa of freshwater fishes. This phenomenon can be caused by similar environmental conditions across physically separated populations. In the context of the ongoing climate change, it is essential to test this hypothesis, identify the factors driving the synchrony and elucidate the mechanisms, in the attempt to improve fisheries management. This study investigates synchronic variations in European whitefish (Coregonus spp.) populations in five peri-alpine lakes. The hypothesis suggests that shared biotic or abiotic factors contribute to similar trends in whitefish landings. Environmental and seasonal variables impacting the early life stages of the species were analyzed, and the Euclidean distances between the multivariate time series were calculated to identify similarities or dissimilarities in lake environmental parameters. We found that regional winter and spring temperatures were consistent across the lakes, but these factors did not fully account for variations in landings statistics. Wind intensity, water level and zooplankton abundance showed lake-specific patterns that could better explain local conditions and dynamics. Linear models did not reveal a coherent correlation with a common environmental variable across all lakes. However, distinct relationships were found in four of the lakes, with local factors significantly contributing to abundance variations. The spring abundance of Daphnia spp., a primary food source for whitefish larvae, was the main factor correlated with fish landing trends in Lake Geneva and Lake Bourget. Higher availability of Daphnia spp. may decrease intraspecific competition and density-dependent mortality. In Lake Neuchâtel, winter water temperature was negatively correlated with fish abundance proxies, suggesting that warmer winters may compromise reproduction success. Lake Annecy saw an increase in whitefish landings following a substantial reduction in fishing efforts during the late 2000s. A significant negative correlation was found between whitefish landings and fishing efforts. No relationship was found for Lake Aiguebelette, maybe due to a lack of zooplankton data. In conclusion, the observed synchrony in the European whitefish population is likely driven by a combination of interacting environmental and anthropogenic factors rather than a single common variable. Further research and a more detailed dataset are needed to better understand these complex relationships.

An Appraisal of Nigeria Peace Keeping Process in Darfur –Sudan
Authors: Idu Raphael 
Published: June 2023

The art of external intervention as a strategy for conflict resolution and crisis management has been prominent among nations of the world. In Africa, Nigeria has been championing the course of peace in this respect since her independence. Peace keeping is a third party intervention which operates with a set of guiding principles that include the consent of the parties in conflict, impartiality and non use of force except on self defense. Again, foreign policy of any nation serves as a mirror of its domestic reality. It begins with identification and articulation of national interests. Nation’s interest represents and serves the principal consideration in the formulation and execution of national policies especially in international relations. It’s against this background that Nigeria maintained that ‘Africa is the centre peace and security’ in her foreign policy. Consequently, this paper is focused on the appraisal of Nigeria peace keeping efforts in Darfur region of Sudan from 2004-2015. Content analyses were used and system theory was adopted as a foundation to the research. Some of findings made are: 1. Nigeria’s much engagements in peacekeeping operation are affecting her domestic affair. 2. Nigeria lack understanding of the nature of the conflict among parties, various forces at play and psychology/beliefs of the combatants before involving in the conflict process. 3. Terrain, climatic conditions as well as other challenges in Darfur has advert effect on the peace keepers. Recommendations proffered are 1. Nigeria should make adequate operational plans, mandate and focus that are well spelt out with achievable objectives before engaging in future peacekeeping operation. 2. Nigeria should understand understanding of the nature of the conflict among parties, various forces at play and psychology/beliefs of the combatants before involving in the conflict process. 3. Nigeria should adequately make necessary provision that will enable the peace keepers perform their duties appropriately and professional.

Authors: Ogbodo Silas , Aliegba Eugene , Ruth Caleb 
Published: June 2023

Agricultural development is important and strategic to economic and national development of Nigerian. Agriculture employs greater number of rural population; yet, it has been neglected in Ebonyi State, with little or no financial attention. Poor attention to agriculture has affected its mandates of solving food insecurity, youth unemployment, poverty, rural-urban migration, etc. Available statistics show that from 2011 to 2021, government budgets to the agricultural sector remained poor in relation to Maputo declaration, that 10% annual budgets be set aside for agricultural production. This problem becomes more worrisome as the meagre allocations were not completely released. The general objective of this study is to determine the effects of budgetary process in enhancing agricultural development in Ebonyi State. The paper was built on modernization theory to clearly show that agricultural development in Ebonyi State could be developed through increased budgetary allocations in line with Maputo declaration. Data were collected by administering 399 questionnaires to respondents, and interview of 6 key-informants, using in-depth interview method. Data from questionnaire were analysed using percentages and frequencies, while data from in-depth interview were analysed using narrative technique. Findings showed that allocation of 10% of annual budget enhances agricultural development in Ebonyi State; and reduction in food insecurity, poverty, unemployment, income inequality, and rural-urban migration are the effects of budgetary process on agricultural development in Ebonyi State. It was recommended, that Ebonyi State House of Assembly should increase agriculture budgetary allocations to 10%, to mitigate negative effects of inadequate budgetary process on agricultural development.

HIV very often prepares the bed for tuberculosis. These two tuberculosis-Human Immunodeficiency Virus (TB/HIV) diseases form an association. The objective of this study was to carry out a retrospective study for the period 2018-2020 in order to determine the prevalence of tuberculosis and HIV coinfection in the prefecture of Kindia. A total of 2701 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were identified, including 69 cases of co-infection and 244 people living with HIV (PLHIV) respectively 2.55%; 9.03%. Of the 2701 presumed cases, 714 had microscopy-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (TPM+), i.e. 26.43%. All were diagnosed simultaneously by bacilloscopy (tuberculosis) and immunochromatography (HIV). The age of the patients varied between 15 and 85 years old. But the age group where we meet more co-infected and those living only with HIV was that of 25-34 years with respectively 1.07% and 3.18%. The female layer is approximately more co-infected with 1.37% against 1.18% for the male sex, while the PLHIV, we observed 4.92% for the female sex against 4.10% for the male sex.
The geography of Covid-19 in Algeria: In search of demographical parameters of vulnerability
Authors: Mazri-Benarioua M. , Chettah S. 
Published: June 2023

The pandemic spread of Covid-19 is worth examining by the geographic eye in order to highlight the spatial dimension of this propagation. The geographical approach is mainly convened to observe some of the territorializing aspects of coronavirus, through which it becomes possible to define the territorial specificities that intervene as vectors of vulnerability to the pandemic.
Claiming to be one of the first geographical researches on Covid-19 in Algeria, this article proposes to question the correlated relationship between its propagation dynamics and the spatial and demographic characteristics of pandemic territories. The objective is to understand the behaviors of vulnerability or resistance of these territories, via geographical parameters. Such an understanding is principally useful in health prevention and action strategies.

Performances of a solar cell are significantly influenced by the heating of the base. Two phenomena contribute to the heating of the base of a PV cell: the heat due to the transfer by conduction of the solar energy radiation received by the surface of the PV cell and the heat generated inside the solar cell by various phenomena related to the movement of photogenerated electrons and holes.
Thus, even if the increase of the quantity of carriers leads to improve the PV cell electrical parameters, this phenomenon also leads to the increase of some internal phenomena like thermalization, carriers braking and the carriers collisions which are sources of heating of the base of the solar cell
Indeed, electrical parameters (photocurrent, photovoltage, electric power) are physical quantities related to the movement of charge carriers and also to the illumination mode, this means that changing of electrical parameters during the operation of the PV cell leads to a variation of the temperature inside the base of the PV cell.
This work presents the effects of the increase of some electrical parameters (photocurrent, photovoltage, electric power) on the behaviour of the temperature of the base of a silicon PV cell under intense light illumination.

Published: June 2023

A hydraulic jump is a characteristic phenomenon in open channel flow, downstream of block ramps or rock chutes a hydraulic jump can occur over a rough bed with great energy dissipation. This paper analyses the hydraulic jump that occurs in homogeneous rough minor beds in rectangular compound channels. the parameters that influence the length of the jump were systematically investigated [24]. the analyses of the phenomenon were conducted using the general jump equation. the experimental data were elaborated in order to supply a new formulation of the general jump equation that accounts for the minor bed roughness. New formulas that satisfactorily agree with the experimental data are proposed. The results showed that rough beds can be used to dissipate the excess hydraulic jump energy instilling basins.

Authors: Chen Chen , Zhong Sheng , Wu Hua , Ge Jintong , Wang Qi 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To investigate how apigenin-7-glucoside (AGL) affects the proliferation, migration, invasion, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in lung cancer cells, and to evaluate the potential of AGL as a therapeutic target.
Methods: Human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B), human lung carcinoma (A549), and non-small cell lung cancer cells (H1975), were treated with 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM AGL. Cell viability curves and EdU assays were used to evaluate their proliferation, while apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated by Transwell assays, and western blot was performed to determine the expression level of cytochrome C and phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR. Furthermore, ELISA was used to quantify the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH). Indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) was performed by staining with DCFH-DA to evaluate ROS level.
Results: Proliferation of A549 and H1975 cells was suppressed by AGL in a dose-dependent manner. AGL significantly reduced proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, and attenuated the migration and invasion of A549 or H1975 cells. It also elevated the levels of cytochrome C and MDA but reduced the production of GSH in A549 and H1975 cells. AGL enhanced the accumulation of ROS and weakened phosphorylation of AKT, PI3K, and mTOR in A549 and H1975 cells.
Conclusion: AGL represses proliferation, promotes apoptosis, suppresses migration and invasion, and induces ROS accumulation in lung cancer cells by repressing PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, thus indicating the potential of AGL as a target in lung cancer treatment.
Effect of simvastatin on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/TrkB pathway in hippocampus of autism rat model
Authors: Chen Yingrui , Cai Linqian , Xu Yuxian 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To study the effect of simvastatin on behavioral performance in a rat model of autism, and its effect on hippocampal brain-derived BDNF-TrkB pathway.
Methods: Twelve rats with valproic acid (VPA)-induced autism were randomly divided into model group and simvastatin group, while six healthy rats served as normal control group. Rats in the simvastatin group received the drug (5 mg/kg) via i.p. route, while rats in model group and normal control group were injected with equivalent volume of normal saline in place of simvastatin. Capacity for interaction and repetitive stereotyped behavior, as well as results of Morris water maze test were determined for each group. The expressions of BDNF-TrkB proteins were assayed with immunoblotting.
Results: The frequencies of sniffing normal saline, alcohol and rat urine were significantly higher in model and simvastatin rats than in normal rats, but they were significantly lower in simvastatin-treated rats than in model rats (p < 0.05). There was higher duration of turning, jumping and grooming in the model group and simvastatin group than in the normal rats, but the duration was significantly reduced in simvastatin rats, relative to model rats. Escape latency times was significantly longer in model and simvastatin rats than in controls, but number of target quadrant crossings was significantly reduced. However, escape latency time was lower in simvastatin rats than in model rats, but number of target quadrant crossings was significantly higher. The model and simvastatin rats had down-regulated levels of BDNF and TrkB protein, relative to control rats, but there were markedly higher levels of these proteins in simvastatin-treated rats than in model rats.
Conclusion: Simvastatin improves the behavioral performance of autistic rats by regulating BDNF/TrkB signal axis. This finding may be useful in the development of new drugs for treating autism.
