The study examined the implication of moral decadence on the academic performance of students in tertiary institutions of Anambra State. The design of the study is a cross-sectional survey research design. Three research questions were formulated to form the study. The population of the study was 400 students. The population was made up of 8 tertiary institutions of learning in Anambra state which includes Nnnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Tansian University Umunya, Madonna University Okija, Paul University Awka, Federal Polytechnic Oko and Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe. Out of the 8 tertiary institutions, 4 were selected through a simple random sampling technique. A total sample size of thirty (30) students drawn through the purposive sampling technique was used in the study. The instrument for data collection in this study was developed by the researchers with the title Moral Decadence on Academic Performance (MDAPQ). The questionnaire was divided into two sections: A and B. Section A contains personal information about respondents while section B has 23 items. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Any item having a mean score of 2.5 and above was accepted while below 2.5 was rejected. The result of the study showed that the causes of moral decadence are Poor parenting style, poverty and bad peer influence among others. The implication of moral decadence to academic performance among students of tertiary institutions are an exhibition of illicit sexual behaviour affects the academic performance of students, parent’s negligence to their parental role has a negative impact on their academic study, indulging in prostitution affect the academic performance of students and environmental violence affects students’ academic performance. In view of these findings, the implications and recommendations were also highlighted.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0907/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

Despite the wide spread awareness regarding the need to reduce gender bias in communication styles, it still exists in organizations and its negative effects on women’s behaviour and perceptions in the workplace remain a great concern. Consequently, the importance of gender neutral language (GNL) use in reducing gender stereotypes and discrimination cannot be overemphasized. Gender differences between gender and non-gender policy organizations has not been given much attention among university lecturers in the investigation of GNL use in Nigeria. This study examines the main and interaction effects of gender and institution type on GNL among public and private university lecturers. Using a two-way factorial design, 161 lecturers were randomly selected from four faculties and twelve departments while convenient sampling method was used to select the target respondents. A questionnaire focusing on socio-demographic profile and a GNL test was administered to the participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test analysis and analysis of variance at 0.05 level of significance. Three hypotheses were tested. The results revealed that gender differences and institution type interacted to influence GNL use among the participants of the study. Gender and institution type are important in developing interventions for GNL use in academia.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0739/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Claude Lévi-Strauss e a construção dos saberes no pensamento amazônico
Authors: Pinto Marilina Conceição Oliveira Bessa Serra 
Published: May 2022

No atual cenário acadêmico brasileiro temos observado a tendência exotizante utilizada como via para compreensão e análise das cosmovisões ameríndias serem substituídas por posturas mais tolerantes frente ao arcabouço de saberes construídos pelos primeiros habitantes do continente. No entanto, ainda é necessário procurar as causas que fazem com que o modo ocidental de organização do pensamento se torne tão refratário a outras formas de racionalidade. Empenhado em construir pontes a fim de aproximar lógicas diferenciadas de entendimento, apoiamos nossa análise nas teses de Claude Lévi-Strauss (1989; 2005), a fim de refletir sobre as peculiaridades constitutivas do pensamento amazônico, de acordo com constatações observadas nos trabalhos descritivo-analíticos de Belota (2012); Amazonense (2013) e Maisel (2014), desenvolvidos na pós-graduação strictu sensu da Universidade Federal do Amazonas. Da breve incursão, conclui-se que a lógica de funcionamento do pensamento primevo se encontra ainda presente nas práticas cotidianas das populações amazônidas. Por fim, sugerimos que a sistematização dos saberes produzidos deverá servir como base para a construção de políticas públicas voltadas para as redes de ensino em todos os níveis de formação.
The direction of landscape erosion
Authors: Stark Colin P. , Stark Gavin J. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The rate of erosion of a landscape depends largely on local gradient and material fluxes.
Since both quantities are functions of the shape of the catchment surface, this dependence constitutes a mathematical straitjacket, in the sense that – subject to simplifying assumptions about the erosion process, and absent variations in external forcing and erodibility – the rate of change of surface geometry is solely a function of surface geometry.
Here we demonstrate how to use this geometric self-constraint to convert a gradient-dependent erosion model into its equivalent Hamiltonian, and explore the implications of having a Hamiltonian description of the erosion process.
To achieve this conversion, we recognize that the rate of erosion defines the velocity of surface motion in its orthogonal direction, and we express this rate in its reciprocal form as the surface-normal slowness.
By rewriting surface tilt in terms of normal slowness components and deploying a substitution developed in geometric mechanics, we extract what is known as the fundamental metric function of the model phase space; its square is the Hamiltonian.
Such a Hamiltonian provides several new ways to solve for the evolution of an erosion surface: here we use it to derive Hamilton's ray-tracing equations, which describe both the velocity of a surface point and the rate of change of the surface-normal slowness at that point.
In this context, gradient-dependent erosion involves two distinct directions: (i) the surface-normal direction, which points subvertically downwards, and (ii) the erosion ray direction, which points upstream at a generally small angle to horizontal with a sign controlled by the scaling of erosion with slope.
If the model erosion rate scales faster than linearly with gradient, the rays point obliquely upwards, but if erosion scales sublinearly with gradient, the rays point obliquely downwards.
This dependence of erosional anisotropy on gradient scaling explains why, as previous studies have shown, model knickpoints behave in two distinct ways depending on the gradient exponent.
Analysis of the Hamiltonian shows that the erosion rays carry boundary-condition information upstream, and that they are geodesics, meaning that surface evolution takes the path of least erosion time.
Correspondingly, the time it takes for external changes to propagate into and change a landscape is set by the velocity of these rays.
The Hamiltonian also reveals that gradient-dependent erosion surfaces have a critical tilt, given by a simple function of the gradient scaling exponent, at which ray-propagation behaviour changes. Channel profiles generated from the non-dimensionalized Hamiltonian have a shape entirely determined by the scaling exponents and by a dimensionless erosion rate expressed as the surface tilt at the downstream boundary.

Abstract. This wind tunnel study investigates the aerodynamic effects of mini Gurney
flaps (MGFs) and their combination with vortex generators (VGs) on the
performance of airfoils and wind turbine rotor blades. VGs are installed on
the suction side aiming at stall delay and increased maximum lift. MGFs are
thin angle profiles that are attached at the trailing edge in order to
increase lift at pre-stall operation. The implementation of both these
passive flow control devices is accompanied by a certain drag penalty. The
wind tunnel tests are conducted at the Hermann-Föttinger Institut of
the Technische Universität Berlin based on two airfoils that are
characteristic of different sections of large rotor blades. Lift and drag
are determined using a force balance and a wake rake, respectively, for
static angles of attack between −5 and 17∘ at a Reynolds number of 1.5 million. The impact of different MGF heights including 0.25 %, 0.5 % and 1.0 % and a VG height of 1.1 % of the chord length is tested and evaluated. Furthermore, the clean and the tripped baseline cases are considered. In the latter, leading-edge transition is forced with Zig Zag (ZZ) turbulator tape. The preferred configurations are the smallest MGF on the NACA63(3)618 and the medium-sized MGF combined with VGs on the DU97W300. Next, the experimental lift and drag polar data are imported into the software QBlade in order to design a generic rotor blade. The blade performance is simulated with and without the add-ons by means of two case studies. In the first case, the retrofit application on an existing blade mitigates the adverse effects of the ZZ tape. Stall is delayed and the
aerodynamic efficiency is partly recovered leading to an improvement of the
power curve. In the second case, the new design application allows for the
design of a more slender blade while maintaining the rotor power. This
alternative blade appears to be more resistant against the adverse effects
of forced leading-edge transition.

Published: May 2022

O texto apresenta a pesquisa realizada no Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Goiás(Brasil), mais especificamente na primeira e na segunda Câmaras Criminais, na qual são analisados os dados de julgamentos e decisões nos pedidos de Habeas Corpus dos respectivos órgãos colegiados. Verifica-se uma tendência da primeira Câmara para refutar os pedidos de Habeas Corpus e uma definição da segunda Câmara para a negação da grande maioria dos pedidos que lhes são dirigidos. Assim, se torna evidente uma subjetividade do Tribunal de Justiça, que atuando em simbiose com o Ministério Público, é estranha ao equilibrio que é almejado pelo Estado Democrático de Direito, fato que interfere diretamente nas políticas públicas de aprisionamento.

Published: May 2022

In today’s digital era people are controlled by digital gadgets, Cellular Systems are the backbone of these gadgets or cellular systems. Current technologies are offering more facilities to their users and also have a few challenges. In a cellular system, call dropping is one of the challenging problems, which is faced by a mobile user in a network due to many reasons like availability of free channels, low level of system configuration, high traffic rate, etc. In this research study, among various failures handover failure is one of the major reasons for call drops. A dropped call happens when your phone gets disconnected somehow from the cellular network. Usually, this happens because of poor cell signal wherever you are that causes the call to drop. When a handover failure exists, a call drop occurs. Many different techniques are proposed and introduced to remove the call drop problem. In this research proposed a proper load balancing for cellular signals using networking for efficient call drop-down solutions with the concept of the distributed antenna system.

Published: May 2022

This systematic review seeks to provide high-quality evidence on expression of genes in the pathogenesis of ameloblastoma, dentigerous cyst and odontogenic keratocyst. Until 2021, a systematic electronic literature search was undertaken utilizing keywords and MESH search phrases in the PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Central, Scopus, and EBSCO databases, as well as Google Scholar. In addition, the reference lists of the systematic reviews included in the study were manually searched. Articles were evaluated critically, and the MINORS scale was used to determine the risk of bias. Ameloblastoma (AB), dentigerous cyst (DC), and odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) are odontogenic lesions that have the potential to become malignant or spread locally. The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of these lesions remain unknown. However, several studies have found that tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes are dysregulated in these lesions. P53 gene downregulation has been observed in AB, DC, and OKC cells. Furthermore, several long non-coding RNAs have been found to be dysregulated in AB tissues, including ENST00000512916 and KIAA0125. Certain forms of odontogenic lesions have been linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms in a range of genes.

Taxpayer’s Right to Privacy?
Authors: Drywa Anna 
Published: May 2022

In the last decade, one of the most important tax challenges has been the fight against tax evasion and tax crime. In response to these phenomena, a number of initiatives have been undertaken that have a side effect of reducing the privacy of taxpayers. In view of the many undoubtedly important observations made in the context of the fight against taxpayers’ dishonesty, this discussion seems to be overly biased and should be balanced by a reflection on the need to protect the rights of taxpayers, among others, and the right to privacy. Attention should be paid to the legislator’s visible tendency to overstep the boundaries of their privacy. Most amendments to tax law are dramatically demonstrating how much of their privacy they have already surrendered.
The article approaches the topic from a broad perspective beginning with the meaning and scope of the right to privacy from a constitutional perspective. Reflecting on privacy is never easy as it is a dynamic concept with fluid boundaries. The regulations introducing the right to privacy are of a general nature. The decisions of the courts in that regard are inherently fragmentary and do not allow a general understanding to be decoded. Nor has a universally accepted definition of privacy or the right to privacy been developed. Against this background, the extent of taxpayers’ privacy has been considered. A number of factors have been discussed that demonstrate a change in views in tax law and a trend towards restricting taxpayers’ privacy. The question is whether a taxpayer has a genuine right to privacy or whether they only have a substitution of such protection.
