Chemical Analysis of DG Cement’s Municipal Waste Used for Refuse Derived Fuel
Authors: Bilal S 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Rampant population growth particularly in South Asian region has turned solid waste management a challenging task. Huge resources are squandered for collection and disposal without considering the recyclable and energy potential. However, in Pakistan, some companies are utilizing waste as refuse derived fuel (RDF) – a process to separate combustibles from municipal waste in order to generate energy.
Methodology: For RDF analysis, DG cement RDF plant near Lakhodair landfill site Lahore was selected in order to collect RDF raw waste, which are then converted in to RDF pellets for further analysis. The chemical analysis consisted of proximate analysis (moisture content, volatile combustion matter, fixed carbon & ash content) and net calorific value (NCV) along with heavy metal analysis.
Findings: Upon analysis, percentage of volatile combustible matter (VCM) tetra pack and jute was about 84% followed by other waste and thermo-pole 78%. Fixed carbon (FC) of wrappers and paper waste was about 24 and 16% whereas Ash content (AC) was recorded highest in textile, shoppers, thermos-pole and foam with 14% while rest 10%. The moisture content (MC) of other waste type followed by shopping bags and jute was found highest among other component such as 3.5%, 24% and 20.9% respectively. Moreover, the highest calorific value was obtained in plastic wrappers (61.26 MJ/kg) whereas lowest was observed in jute (6.4 MJ/kg). For heavy metal analysis such as Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Copper (Cu), Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) was used; highest concentration of copper was observed in the foam waste (45.5 mg/kg) and the lowest value was observed in thermos-pole (8.5 mg/kg). All the results were in EURITS standards range.
Recommendation: Therefore, in the light of above analysis, it was confirmed that collected waste is highly feasible for RDF in DG cements.
CONTRIBUTION OF JGI REDD+PROJECT IN ADDRESSING DEFORESTATION, CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS IN WESTERN TANZANIA: A CASE OF ILAGALA, KARAGO AND KIRANDO VILLAGES
Authors: Makunga John E. , Misana Salome B. 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The study examined the contribution of REDD+ in addressing deforestation, climate variability and people’s livelihoods in three villages of Ilagala, Karago and Kirando, within the REDD+ Masito-Ugalla ecosystem in Uvinza District, Tanzania. Methodology: The methods used were household interviews, semi-structured interview, focus group discussions, field observations, analysis of meteorological data, as well as remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS). A total of 101 households were randomly selected for the study. Results: The trend of the mean annual rainfall and rainfall deviations from the annual mean revealed the presence of climate variability. Majority of the respondents agreed that climate variability was happening in their area. Deforestation and forest degradation were also a problem in the area as evidenced by expansion of cultivation at the expense of other vegetation types and opening up of the closed woodlands. The findings further revealed that majority of respondents were aware about REDD+ objectives and that the project had provided conservation education to local communities and supported them to alleviate poverty through establishing entrepreneurship groups within the project area, each group dealing with a specific activity, including beekeeping and poultry. Majority of the respondents said they were able to support the education needs of their children as benefits accrued to them during REDD+ operation. The contribution of REDD+ project in minimizing deforestation, climate variability and improving people’s livelihoods was manifested through training of forest monitors and fire breakers and establishment of community projects. The REDD+ performance, however, was reported to be on average. Also due to its short operation period, REDD+ did not significantly contribute to people’s livelihoods. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study has provided important lessons on the importance and opportunities offered by REDD+ in addressing forest conservation and providing livelihood benefits to the local communities. Although REDD+ policies and projects are geared towards addressing climate change mitigation, if well designed, they can go a long way in alleviating poverty while at the same time conserving the forests. What is required is for nations to identify what the needs of the local communities and the desired benefits in the respective areas are and build into the REDD+ projects strategies that would adequately address those needs and provide the required benefits.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of fish traders’ demographic factors on the environmental situation of the fish market.Methodology: A descriptive survey design was used for the research. The target for the study was the fish traders of Gikomba fish market, Nairobi. Random sampling of fish traders was done from a register, using Fischer’s formulae, to calculate the number of respondents. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and was processed using EXCEL and SPSS software packages. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages,) and inferential statistics (Chi square and Logistic Regression) were used to explain the variables. 54% of the respondents did not get piped water.Results: Majority (60.5%) of the respondents noted that fish wastes had a negative effect on the environment. Chi square tests results for fish operator practices in most attributes was statistically associated with environmental situation (P< 0.05). Logistic regression tests results proved that practices such as use of water, disposal of wastes, use of protective clothing and participation in cleanups had a statistically significant influence on the environmental situation (P< 0.05).Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The research recommended that the Department of Fisheries needs to review the modalities for fish handling throughout the marketing chain. Emphasis should be put on disposal of fish wastes in the major fish markets, fish wastes recycling options, training of fish operators and capacity development of staff.
TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS OF OIL SPILL AT THE GULF OF GUINEA: CASE OF CAMEROON – KRIBI
Authors: Tohnain Fuchi 
Published: August 2022

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the trajectory and duration of oil slick touching or reaching the shore of kribi-Cameroon in case of an oil spill in the coast of Guinea. With the trajectory analysis known, better contingency planning can be done to protect sensitive areas and the beach activating oil spill response.
Methodology: systematic review past articles on oil spill trajectory analysis from peer was done. This article shows how the surface currents, waves and wind direction affects oil slick movement. The used of GNOME for oil slick modelling as well as the ADIOS for better analysis including the oil dispersed with the estimated budget to clean up the spill provides a better tool for spill trajectory analysis.
Findings: There are two factors that affects the accuracy of oil slick trajectory analysis. The inability to obtain or measure wind and current speeds at the time of the spill and the rotation of the earth thus deflecting the spill either to the northern or southern hemisphere.
Recommendations: Crude oil does not degrade easily and can remain in the environment for decades. Oil production companies needs to put in place a rapid clean up response group with frequent drill exercise. This can help to contain the spilled oil in a timely manner to avoid spreading and further contamination of the sea and other sensitive area. Focus should be on their operating equipment, processes put in place for maintenance strategies and trained qualified personnel to operate their facility.

Authors: Awadh Asma , Mwakumanya Maarifa , Omar Mohamed 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to assess Dugongs' status distribution of dugongs (Dugong dugon) in Kenya. A dugong is a herbivorous marine mammal of the tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Dugongs are one of four existing species of the order Sirenia, which is considered most at risk of extinction. Globally, IUCN classified the Dugong as rare; Kenya has done the same under the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act 2013, thus making Dugongs a conservation priority. This paper discusses the traditional practices of dugongs and how this influenced their population and conservation.
Methodology: The study used a literature review, semi-structured questionnaires, guided interviews, and focus group discussions with respondents on obtaining data.
Findings: More than 100 dugongs occurred in the Kenyan waters in the 1960s; their population has declined drastically since then. Dugongs were a sought-after delicacy on the Kenyan coast. Dugong meat was consumed for its taste and nutritional use. In the northern study areas, its oil was separated and used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study confirms fishing practices and traditional consumption practices on dugongs were seen to have led to their detriment. The study recommends rich continuous education and awareness efforts to change the thinking and practices of the people towards conservation of dugongs and the environment in general.
THE IMPACT OF FOOD PACKAGING ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND WAYS OF MANAGING WASTES IN SELECTED GHANAIAN COMMUNITIES
Authors: Sebbeh Bartholomew 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The author sought to investigate into how food packaging wastes are handled in the Ghanaian communities, the impact of the wastes on the environment and ways by which the menace can be curbed.
Methodology: The study was descriptive in nature and observation was the main instrument adopted to gather information on the phenomenon of the threat of packaging waste on the Ghanaian environment. Such observations were conducted in parts of the three namely Accra, Kumasi and Sekondi - Takoradi major cities in Ghana. At least, five (5) suburbs in each of the metropolitan areas were studied.
Findings: The study revealed that plastic packaging waste generated in the country is currently the most post-consumer waste. Majority of the consumers in Ghana do not take cognizance of the environmental impacts of the products they consume and thus throw or dump packaging waste products indiscriminately. They do not care about what will happen to it, to themselves as individuals and to the environment in general.
Unique contribution to theory and Practice and policy: The outcome of the study will enlighten the average Ghanaian on how to manage food packaging waste to help save the natural environment from unnecessary pollution, depletion and extinction of animals and marine habitat. This will enable policymakers in Ghana enact appropriate laws that will ensure the proper handling and management of the waste generated by manufacturers and consumers of food packaging.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: Recreation sites and parks are exposed to degradation unless stringent conservation measures are undertaken. Recreational activities undertaken by visitors such as; camping, hiking and climbing, game driving, bird watching, bicycling, mountain biking, game viewing, and picnicking among others put huge pressure on the parks resources. The aim of the study is to determine the recreation activities that have the greatest negative environmental impact on environmental resource attributes in national parks of central Kenya.
Methodology: The descriptive survey research design was used. The study was conducted in the two designated national parks in Central Kenya region: Mt. Kenya and Aberdares. Stratified random sampling was used to ensure that the KWS and KFS officers in managerial, tour guide, maintenance, and security levels were represented.
Results: Two hundred and sixty three 263(79.9%) responded to the questionnaires by completely filling and returning them. Descriptive statistics that included frequencies and percentages were used to organize and summarize the data. Tables and bar charts were drawn to present the collected data. Independent Sample T-test was conducted to compare the mean of the visitors and staff on the perceived effect of recreation activities on environmental resource attributes. It is only on soil where the two groups were found to be significantly different ( (visitors) =2.14, staff) =1.50, t=6.06, df =233, p<0.001).
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study therefore concluded that parks environmental resource attributes are negatively affected by recreation activities in the national parks in the Central Kenya region. Through monitoring of conditions, managers will be able to more clearly identify when specific impacts have become so pronounced as to demand management attention.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Aortic angulation (AA), defined as the angle between the aortic annulus plane and the horizontal plane, may result in failed prosthesis positioning. The effect of AA on the procedural and short-term outcomes with the portico valves for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not been fully investigated. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of AA on device success and early outcomes of TAVI using a selfexpanding portico valve.
Patients and Methods: Preoperative computed tomography scans of 121 consecutive patients treated with the portico valve were analyzed. TAVI device success and outcomes were determined according to VARC-3 definitions. Patients were divided into two groups based on mean AA.
Results: The mean AA was 48.7 ± 8.9°. There were no differences in technical success (92.2 vs 89.5%, p= 0.604), device success (81.2% vs 77.2%, p= 0.582), and early safety endpoints (68.8% vs 61.4%, p= 0.397) between the AA≤ 48° and AA>48° groups. The frequency and severity of paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAR) was statistically higher in patients with AA> 48° (p= 0.028). Moreover, an increased AA was also associated with valve malposition (12.3% vs. 1.6%, p= 0.018), prolonged procedure time (85 ± 26 vs. 75 ± 20 minutes, p= 0.028), and greater Δimplantation depth (2.2 ± 0.5 vs. 0.8 ± 0.1 mm; p<0.001).
Conclusion: Despite comparable device success and early outcomes rates, increased AA is associated with higher rates of PAR and valve malposition, with the self-expanding portico valve.

Published: August 2022

Background Back braces are commonly utilized in the management of low back pain (LBP). Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate (1) user satisfaction with a sacroiliac belt versus a lumbar orthosis and (2) the effect of a sacroiliac belt versus a lumbar orthosis on pain, functional disability status, and analgesic use for subjects with subacute or chronic non-specific LBP. Methods This is a prospective randomized crossover study. For the two-week study period, control group subjects wore the Horizon 627 Lumbar Brace (“lumbar orthosis”) during the first week and the Serola Sacroiliac Belt (“sacroiliac belt”) during the second week; experimental group subjects wore the sacroiliac belt during the first week and the lumbar orthosis during the second week. User satisfaction (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology 2.0 [QUEST 2.0] score), functional disability status (Oswestry Disability Index [ODI]), pain, and analgesic use were recorded. Results Overall, the sacroiliac belt demonstrated significantly higher user satisfaction than the Horizon brace (QUEST Score = 20.31 vs. 16.17, p = 0.0375) for the entire study period. Significant negative correlations were identified between user satisfaction and functional disability (t = -4.71, p < 0.0001), pain magnitude (t = -6.81, p < 0.0001) as well as pain frequency (t = -6.66, p < 0.0001). Conclusion In this prospective randomized crossover study, subject satisfaction was associated with improvements in functional disability, pain magnitude and pain frequency. The sacroiliac belt demonstrated significantly higher user satisfaction and similar effectiveness compared to the lumbar orthosis.
The Rise of the Nostalgic Spy Thriller: Globalizing the Neo-Cold War Narrative of Totalitarian State Socialism in the TV Series Deutschland (2015–2020)
Authors: Sadowski-Smith Claudia 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
This article examines the portrayal of German Democratic Republic (GDR) socialism in the TV series Deutschland, the first foreign-language show to premiere on a U.S. network. Paving the way for the globalization of Germany’s TV industry, the series exemplifies the rise of the nostalgic spy thriller. It employs the aesthetic and ideological codes of a genre rooted in the 1960s to evoke the time period and ideological certainties of the Cold War from a contemporary perspective. Deutschland focuses on the Stasi’s division of counterintelligence to portray the GDR as a totalitarian regime, run by corrupt elites, which subjugated its population and supported terrorism and illegal arms trading. The series employs the conventions of “historical event TV” and re-created historical settings to claim veracity and authenticity for plotlines that invoke sensationalized coverage of Cold War conflicts and distorted allegations against the GDR. Deutschland dismisses GDR efforts to create and globalize an alternative system, based on principles of anti-imperialist solidarity with the global South, and caricatures postsocialist nostalgia as an elite sentiment for the re-creation of totalitarianism. The series contributes to neo-Cold War imageries that evoke a past of Western superiority over European state socialism, which has little to offer to a future post-neoliberal world.
