Authors: R. Jenitha , Rajesh K. 
Published: June 2023

INTRODUCTION: Hybrid stand-alone Small Wind Solar Energy System offers a feasible solution in remote areas where grid connectivity is either financially or physically unavailable. A small wind turbine (SWT) and a solar photovoltaic system are part of the hybrid energy system, which is effectively employed to meet the energy needs of rural household loads. OBJECTIVE: This research suggests an effective analysis of wind solar hybrid system controllers taking energy demands into account. The controller should be designed in such a way as to intelligently monitor the availability of wind energy and solar energy and store the energy without spilling it out. METHODS: In order to cope with the challenging factors involved in designing the controller, intelligent power tracking with an artificially intelligent neural network (AI-NN) is designed. Added to that, the whole process has been designed and analysed with the MATLAB SIMULINK tool. RESUSTS: The results of the simulation, infer that AI-NN achieved the regression value of 0.99 when compared with the Perturb & Observe algorithm (P&O), and the Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) algorithm, and has a higher tracking speed. Also, the AI-NN attained 2.62kW whereas the P&O has attained 2.52kW and Fuzzy logic has attained 2.43W of power which is 3.89% higher than P&O algorithm and 7.52% higher than fuzzy MPPT algorithm. CONCLUSION: The designed controller module enhances the system by artificially intelligent algorithm. The AI-NN attains the better power performance with lesser tracking time and higher efficiency. Thus, it is evident that AI-NN MPPT suits well for the hybrid system.

Published: June 2023

The benefits derived from the forest estate in Ghana include Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs). NTFPs such as vegetable oil produced from seed of forest trees have been used for centuries. The oil from the seed kernel of Allanblackia parviflora (Allanblackia) is investigated for differences in the yield and quality between accessions. Vegetable oil from twenty (20) accessions of Allanblackia were extracted and characterized. The oil yields from the different accessions were all above 60% and no significant differences were detected amongst the accessions. The iodine value was very low indicating a very saturated oil whilst the refractive index, specific gravity and acid values were all within the range of most edible oils. The vegetable oil contains over 60% saturated fatty acids in the form of stearic acid (C18:0) and over 30% unsaturated fatty acid in the form of oleic acid (C18:1), and this may be the reason for the oil been solid at ambient room temperature.

Fresh pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and there is a big demand for organically produced sugar-loaf pineapples in Europe. However, due to its high moisture content and high perishability, transportation over long distances is difficult and require cold storage conditions. The main objective of this research was to assess the quality properties of organic and conventional sugar loaf pineapples under cold storage conditions over a 21 – day period. Conventional pineapples were harvested from Albe Farms in the Eastern region and organic pineapples from Ali farms in the Central regions of Ghana. The fruits were allowed to cool to room temperature before storing at 1°C. Physical and chemical properties of the fruits were determined at days 0, 7, 14 and 21, using standard methods. Conventional sugar-loaf pineapples were larger, but had lower dry matter, soluble solids and vitamin C, than organic pineapples. The weight, translucency and pH of the two categories of pineapples were similar. No significant loss in weight, lengths and crown characteristics were observed after the storage period. Translucency increased from <25% to a range of 50 – 75% by the end of the storage period in both organic and conventional fruits. While no clear trend was observed in the soluble solids content and pH during storage of both organic and conventional sugarloaf pineapple, total titratable acidity increased marginally and vitamin C levels dipped over the 21-day storage period. The trends in acidity, vitamin C and translucency suggest that it is possible to store both conventional and organic sugarloaf pineapple for 21-day storage period at 1 °C. This implies the possibility of shipping both organic and conventional sugarloaf pineapples to destinations requiring sea freighting.
From Chalcolithic to Early Bronze Age: A view from Abu Hof Cave 22 (Israel)
Authors: Holl Augustin F.C. , Dawson Leslie 
Published: June 2023

Archaeological cultural taxonomy is a practical necessity. It singles out more or less coherent patio-temporal entities and facilitates scholarly exchange and communication. However, these practical conventions tend to take an independent life of their own, and sometimes constrain creative research endeavors. It is well known that ―the name is not the thing‖. Archaeological cultural taxa are relatively flexible entities, not perfectly self-contained units. Despite this realization, change documented from one archaeological culture to the next is generally framed in term of ‗transition‘, a legacy of classic gradualism. This paper addresses the issues of change and the nature of the Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age interface in the Southern Levant, from the vantage point of a small cave located in the Nahal Tillah valley in Northern Negev, Israel. Genomic and intra-site archaeological data suggest the situation to be a robust illustration of punctuated equilibrium, without evidence of continuity between the ending Chalcolithic and the emerging Early Bronze Age societies.
Modernity and changing family values in Nigeria: implications for effective parenting
Authors: Chineyemba Lydia Isioma 
Published: June 2023

The family as a social institution has undergone changes occasioned by modernity; these changes have positive and negative implications. The family inculcates virtues, values, morals, ethics, and beliefs that define and shape the behaviours of members of society. Modernity is the vehicle that drives progress and development, yet it has brought changes that have altered family values and consequently hampered effective parenting in Nigeria. This paper focuses on the declining value system and its effect on parenting and society, as well as the overall outcome of the rising incidence of crime and insecurity in Nigeria. Primary and secondary data were sourced through indepth interviews, focused group discussions, journal articles, and books. Qualitative analysis was done and presented as narratives. Findings revealed that changing value systems impact family time and relationships. Industrialization and improvements in information and communication technology resulting from modernization have impacts on parenting. The effects have spilled over to the larger society and informed the moral decay and insecurity that have bedevilled Nigeria. The paper recommends the redefinition and reactivation of the value system through the family to restore eroding family values in Nigeria.

Tartessos culture is placed in a wide area in southern Portugal and Spain after archeological and documental studies. Its placement is concordant with that of West Euromediterranean ancient Megaliths, which were constructed at the Bronze Age (5000 year BC or before at Alcalar Dolmen (Portimao, Portugal), where Palelolithic arrows are found. These Megaliths construction and the people that built them up may be related to the metal richness of the core Tartessian Area: The Iberian Pyrite Belt which is rich in gold, silver, copper, iron, and others within this territory. Prehistoric documents place this area around Huelva, Cadiz (Spain) and South Portugal. Age of Tartessos may be older than established (centuries BC): Strabo said that Tartessians wrote 6000 years before. Indeed, we have found Megalithic Linear Scripts in a Megalith context (or not) in Tartessian area, Canary Islands and South Algerian Sahara, Mt Ahaggar area. These may represent a Megalithic Age writing which gave rise to IberianTartessian and other lineal signaries. Humboldt and all previous studies had established since 1st century AD that Basque language was old Iberian-Tartessian language. This has been hotly dismissed in the last 75 years by some Spanish scholars. However, the appearance (2023) of Irulegui Hand written in both Basque and Iberian has brought back the Basque-Iberism. Finally, relatedness with West and East Iberia is evident, because they use the same type of Ibrerian Tartessian writing and Levant Iberian statues (Lady of Cabeza-Lucero, Alicante, Spain) have almost the same Tartessian sculptured face schematic structure which has been recently found in Tartessos West Spain (Casas de Turuñuelo, Badajoz, Spain).

This study examined the moderating effect of audit committee financial expertise on the relationship between audit quality and earnings management among quoted consumer goods companies in Nigeria. Earnings management as dependent variable was proxied by discretionary accruals while audit quality is explained using audit fees and auditor industry specialization.The study adopted Ex post facto research design. Population included all the 21 companies in the consumer goods sector. The study purposively, sampled 17 out of the entire population for the purpose of data collection. The study covered the period 2012 to 2021. Secondary data were extracted from the annual accounts of the companies for the period of the study. The study employed the use of multiple regression technique to analyse the data. The result of the study showed that both audit fees and auditor industry specialization have positive significant relationship with earnings management when moderated by audit committee financial expertise. The study concluded that both variables can be used as determinants of real earnings management when there is a financial expert on the audit committee. From the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be made with respect to legislations to strengthen auditors’ quality in Nigeria by ensuring that audit committee members have financial expertise since it is a viable corporate governance tool towards enhancing reported earnings quality.

Published: June 2023

Discussing and debating mathematical ideas through integrating natural and mathematical language is vital for conceptual understanding and ultimately for learner performance. In schools with low performance, it is likely that teaching mathematics follows an approach largely involving rote learning. In rural Limpopo where schools are isolated, professional development takes the form of twinning, where a well-functioning school twins with a school in need. In this study two teachers twinned to teach algebraic word problems to Grade 11 to improve learner performance through a problem-solving approach. A central aspect of the study was attention to discourse informed by the commognitive framework, where both natural language (learners home language and the language of instruction) and language of mathematics spoken by the teachers and encouraged in the learners, was the focus. This quasi-experimental design was implemented to examine the effect of the twinned teachers discourse in a class where English, the language of instruction, was a second language. In the study a pre-test and post-test were administered to the experimental group of 34 learners, and to a comparison group of 40 learners. The study aimed at testing the hypothesis that the twinned mathematics teachers’ discourse using a problem-solving approach informed by the commognitive framework has a significant effect on learner performance in algebraic word problems. In summary, using the commognitive framework in implementing problem-solving approach with the twinned teachers’ mathematical discourse had significant effect in improving learner performance of algebraic word problems in the target group.

Penderitaan merupakan topik yang sering diperbincangkan. Penderitaan yang sering mendera manusia memunculkan argumentasi manusia akan ketiadaan Allah. Mereka berpikir bahwa jika Allah ada seharusnya penderitaan itu tidak ada. Mencermati Keluaran 1-2, dalam narasi tersebut tidak memunculkan nama Allah di dalam penderitaan yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Israel. Melalui artikel ini penulis akan menggali bagaimana peran Allah bekerja di balik layar dalam penderitaan umat. Dalam melakukan pengkajian teks tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan tafsir narasi. Rumusan masalah (research question) dalam penelitian ini ialah bagaimana peran Allah di belakang layar dalam penderitaan orang percaya menurut teodisi dalam narasi Keluaran 1-2.? Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk menemukan peran Allah di belakang layar dalam penderitaan orang percaya dengan mengkaji teodisi dalam narasi Keluaran 1-2. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Allah bekerja di balik layar bagi umat melalui pemeliharaan-Nya dalam penderitaan. Pasal 1 menjelaskan pemeliharaan Allah kepada Israel dan pasal 2 pemeliharaan Allah kepada sang pembebas. Pemeliharaan ini menjadi bukti akan kesetiaan Allah kepada perjanjian-Nya dan menunjukkan bahwa rencana-Nya pasti digenapi serta tidak ada yang dapat menggagalkan rencana Allah bagi umat-Nya. Dapat simpulkan bahwa melalui analisis struktur narasi Keluaran 1-12 menegaskan bahwa Allah bekerja di balik layar penderitaan umat dengan mengatur alur skenario kehidupan umat dalam penderitaan yang dihadapi.
