Authors: Ковалишин Ф.П. 
Published: September 2022

В статье исследованы судовые смазочные материалы методом диэлектрической
спектроскопии с целью контроля качества и для диагностики неисправностей судовых
двигателей по отработанным моторным маслам. Изучена возможность применения
диэлектрических характеристик для оценки старения моторного масла. Показано, что
подходы с использованием диэлектрических параметров дают возможность контролировать
свойства моторных масел. Показана возможность применения относительной
диэлектрической проницаемости отработавших моторных масел в качестве индикатора,
характеризующего комплексные изменения их состава. Выяснены предположительные
причины влияния продолжительности эксплуатации моторных масел на их диэлектрические
параметры. Полученные результаты показывают, что метод дает информацию, которая
может быть использована для тестирования судовых нефтепродуктов и для диагностики
состояния агрегатов судового двигателя с применением отработанного моторного масла.

Ciclo de capacidades turísticas para la región mixteca de Oaxaca
Authors: Reyes-Santiago María del Rosario 
Published: September 2022

En este documento se presenta un marco de acción a través de una metodología participativa para el desarrollo de capacidades turísticas en comunidades de la Región mixteca de Oaxaca; a fin de permitirle a estas comunidades estar mejor informadas, críticas, participativas, y en condiciones para aprovechar las oportunidades que el entorno turístico está generando. Las barreras al turismo, son la parte evidente de los desequilibrios de poder que caracterizan a las relaciones de los pueblos indígenas y rurales con el exterior; debido a procesos de colonización, que se han prolongado a lo largo del tiempo y que ahora pueden evidenciarse en el turismo. Se propone el trabajo en talleres de capacitación, a fin de desarrollar las capacidades que les han sido negadas a las comunidades, de una forma evidente, en el aspecto turístico; pero en un sentido más profundo, en términos de empoderamiento, autodeterminación y resiliencia.

Published: September 2022

Groundnut paste is frequently associated with food-borne illness due to contamination traceable to food handlers, processing materials as well as environmental conditions and this therefore necessitated the microbiological quality examination of groundnut paste. The percentage occurrence of bacteria isolates and moisture content were determined using standard laboratory techniques. The percentage moisture content of the groundnut pastes was between the range of 0.8% and 4.8%. Total bacteria count fell between 1.8 ×1014 and 12.4 × 1014CFU/mL with organisms such as Proteus species (spp.), Pseudomonas spp., Bacillus spp., Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp., Stapylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Alcaligenes faecalis and Enterobacter spp. isolated. Total fungal count was between 2×107 and 4×107CFU/mL with identified organisms such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizopus spp. and Penicillium spp. Proteus spp. was the most prevalent with a percentage of 19.23 % while Escherichia coli, Alcaligenes faecalis and Enterobacter spp. showed the least prevalence of 3.85%. The results also show that fungi species spreads across all the samples with Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus obtained in two of the samples, Rhizopus spp. in three other samples while Penicillum spp. were obtained in four samples. It is apparent from the result of this study that the groundnut paste examined were highly contaminated with microbial isolates sufficient enough to be a public health hazard in Jimeta markets and Adamawa State at large, therefore caution must be applied in its uses and consumption.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: The current study sought to identify the relationship between audit committee characteristics and the audit expectation gap within the public sector in Kenya.Methodology: The study adopted a positivism philosophy and a descriptive research design in solving the research problem. The target population for the research was pooled from audit committee members in all the 119 state parastatals. The study relied on primary data that was collected using semi-structured questionnaires and key informant interview schedules. This was further supplemented using secondary data that was sourced from government reports and published reports. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical tests such as ANOVA and t-test was conducted to help in accepting or rejecting the research hypothesis.Results: The study findings indicated that audit committee composition R2 = .107 and audit committee meetings R2 = .19 had the highest association with audit expectation gap in state corporations.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that gender inclusion should be upheld within the public sector and more so within audit committees. Further in constituting audit committees there is need for stakeholders to ensure individual competencies such as technical skills, leadership qualities and integrity are available to help mitigate expectation gap. More so there should be appropriate skill mix within the audit committee which should be regularly assessed to ensure conformity to best standards of practice.

Methodology: The qualitative methodology with descriptive and historical research designs was used to collect secondary sources of data.
Findings: The findings showed that population, ethnicity, clientelism and political representation can either lead to stability or instability depending on how they are handled in the legislative and executive arms of government with the executive playing a more critical role. Political representation which is either elected or appointed if well handled in the optimum balancing of all vested interests will lead to stability in the executive and legislative systems of a federal government which will enable the society to make progress. This study found out that population, ethnicity, clientelism and political representation have tremendous positive or negative impacts on both federal executive and legislative arms of government as the population of a nation determines the size of its government and the level of infrastructural provisions; Geo-political and the king makers influences are also impactful.
Recommendation: It is recommended that there should be mass participation of the citizens in governance in their demand for true representation in governance and the use of the ballot to act as checks and balances to vote out non-performing leadership.

Inteligencia, vigilancia y reconocimiento IR-FLIR en los vehículos aéreos no tripulados de la Inteligencia Militar
Authors: Beltrán Bejarano Óscar Leonel , Alfonso Sandoval Juan David 
Published: September 2022

Este artículo pretende evidenciar la necesidad del Ejército Nacional de Colombia de acceder y hacer uso de herramientas tecnológicas de vanguardia, como pueden ser los sensores IR-FLIR, en su afán de apoyar y complementar el desarrollo de diversas operaciones militares, además del control y la defensa de la seguridad nacional a lo largo del territorio colombiano. Los vehículos aéreos no tripulados (UAV por su sigla en inglés) han aportado en gran magnitud a la solución de diversas necesidades que a través del tiempo se han presentado en las tareas de la Inteligencia Militar (IMI) y a su vez de la defensa de los intereses nacionales para cualquier Estado. En la actualidad es fácil encontrar sobre el espacio aéreo diversos tipos de “Drones”, los cuales realizan misiones humanitarias por organismos estatales, acciones agropecuarias en el campo, como también otras actividades de entretenimiento realizadas por aficionados.
En el Ejército Nacional de Colombia se presenta una situación particular, la utilización de vehículos “UAV” para apoyar el desarrollo de operaciones militares y actividades de inteligencia militar (Inteligencia, vigilancia y reconocimiento - ISR) no ha sido tenida en cuenta principalmente en operaciones militares nocturnas por la falta de credibilidad y confianza en la información suministrada por la Inteligencia Militar para el desarrollo de las misiones a nivel táctico, operacional y estratégico. Por tal razón se busca la pertinencia que tendría la adquisición de nuevos sensores para las FF.MM.
