description: We report the discovery of a potentially major supercluster that extends across the Galactic plane in the constellation of Vela, at a mean recessional velocity of ∼18 000 km s-1. Recent multiobject spectroscopic observations of this Vela supercluster (VSCL), using AAOmega+2dF and the Southern African Large Telescope, confirm an extended galaxy overdensity in the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) located where residual bulk flows predict a considerable mass excess. We present a preliminary analysis of ∼4500 new spectroscopic galaxy redshifts obtained in the ZOA centred on the Vela region (l = 272.5° ± 20°, b = 0° ± 10°). The presently sparsely sampled data set traces an overdensity that covers 25° in Galactic longitude on either side of the Galactic plane, suggesting an extent of 25 × 20 deg2, corresponding to ∼ 115 × 90 h70 Mpc at the supercluster redshift. In redshift space, the overdensity appears to consist of two merging wall-like structures, interspersed with clusters and groups. Both the velocity histogram and the morphology of the multibranching wall structure are consistent with a supercluster classification. K_s^o galaxy counts show an enhancement of ∼1.2 over the survey area for galaxies brighter than MK^{ast } at the VSCL distance, and a galaxy overdensity of δ = 0.50-0.77 within a photometric redshift shell around the VSCL, when compared with various Two Micron All-Sky Survey samples. Taking account of selection effects, the VSCL is estimated to contribute v_LG ≳ 50 km s-1 to the motion of the Local Group.

description: The fascination of both fascism and heavy metal for similar aspects of the Middle Ages (power, masculinity, heroism...) and their reliance on a shared cultural background of medievalising Western pop-culture make it difficult to distinguish heavy metal narratives from fascist ones. In this paper I will explore how undistinguishable medievalising lyrics by far-right and presumably non-far-right heavy metal bands can turn out to be and discuss, first, the reasons behind this indistinguishability and, second, the options available, if any, to sing about the Middle Ages without unwillingly supporting far-right friendly discourses.

description: The present research aims to study the improvement in the performance of wastewater treatment within the WWTP of the Technopole area of Dakar through a system consisting of a septic tank and a horizontal submerged flow constructed wetland, planted with reeds. A volume of wastewater equal to 2000 L is treated daily. The pretreatment function performed by the septic tank leads to a removal yield of 48.7% for TSS, 49% for BOD, 31% for COD and 77% for E. coli compared to inlet wastewater. After a stay of 24 hours inside the septic tank, the clarified wastewater passes through a horizontal flow constructed wetland. The removal yields are 91% for TSS, 82% for BOD, 75% for COD and 99.5% for E. coli with respect to inlet wastewater. However, even after the treatment and the storage, some outlet parameters, such as E. coli, did not meet the limits of WHO and FAO guidelines for the reuse of treated water for irrigation nor the Senegalese standard for the discharge of wastewater. Therefore, disinfection through bleach was used to improve the treatment. Results after disinfection reported a complete removal of E. coli, yields of 97% for BOD and 68% for COD.

description: Corrosion inhibition efficiency potentials of 2-methyl benzoazole and its derivatives on Aluminium metal were studied throughthe evaluation of their quantum chemical parameters and molecular dynamics simulations approaches. Quantum chemical parameterswere used to calculate the electronic properties of the inhibitor molecules in order to correlate their inhibition withtheir molecular structure. The quantum chemical parameters include :EHOMO (Highest occupied molecular orbital energy), ELUMO (Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), energy gap (ΔE), dipole moment (μ), global hardness (η), global softness (σ), the absolute electronegativity (χ) and the fractions of electrons transferred (ΔN) from the molecules to the metal. Furthermore, the local reactivity of the molecules was analyzed through the Fukui functions and found to be located on the molecule’s heteroatoms (sulphur, oxygen, nitrogem and selenium). The molecular dynamic simulation results showed that the adsorption energy is low, negative and within the threshold of physical adsorption mechanism.The order of inhibition efficiency of the studied 2-methyl benzoazole and its derivatives on Aluminium metal is2-MBT>2-MBS>2-MBI>2-MBX>2-MBA.

description: The world is going through a health crisis which has triggered an unprecedented economic crisis, according to economists, unprecedented and worrying in its origin, nature, course, and geographic coverage. The confinement of populations, the blocking of logistics chains, the stoppage of economic activity imposed by COVID-19 health crisis, has highlighted the vulnerability of value chains. Nowadays, the limits of the "just in time" strategy can be observed. To remedy this, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of this economic crisis in its current context. In addition, the pandemic with its effect in prolonged waves caused a more or less severe recession depending on the country, which led to a drop in global energy demand by 6% and 8% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the forecasts are not optimistic for the water sector, which is no exception. Climate change models indicate that precipitation could decrease by more than 20% in 2050. The challenge for Algeria in the years to come is to adapt to a decrease in renewable water resources. The country must mobilize unconventional water resources (desalination and reuse of wastewater) which will be a strategic component in water management. In addition, the development of unconventional resources leads to an increase in electrical energy demand of 12% by one which must be taken into account in the national energy balance. The objective of this work is to offer practical solutions to current energy challenges, defeat the post COVID-19 energy battle, and face the future water stress that threatens our country.

description: The surface functionalization of TiO2-based materials with alkylsilanes is attractive in several cutting-edge applications, such as photovoltaics, sensors, and nanocarriers for the controlled release of bioactive molecules. (3-Aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) is able to self-assemble to form monolayers on TiO2 surfaces, but its adsorption geometry and solar-induced photodegradation pathways are not well understood. We here employ advanced experimental (XPS, NEXAFS, AFM, HR-TEM, and FT-IR) and theoretical (plane-wave DFT) tools to investigate the preferential interaction mode of APTES on anatase TiO2. We demonstrate that monomeric APTES chemisorption should proceed through covalent Si-O-Ti bonds. Although dimerization of the silane through Si-O-Si bonds is possible, further polymerization on the surface is scarcely probable. Terminal amino groups are expected to be partially involved in strong charge-assisted hydrogen bonds with surface hydroxyl groups of TiO2, resulting in a reduced propensity to react with other species. Solar-induced mineralization proceeds through preferential cleavage of the alkyl groups, leading to the rapid loss of the terminal NH2 moieties, whereas the Si-bearing head of APTES undergoes slower oxidation and remains bound to the surface. The suitability of employing the silane as a linker with other chemical species is discussed in the context of controlled degradation of APTES monolayers for drug release and surface patterning.

description: In this work we have been interested in a compilation of data covering the period from 2000 to present of radionuclide activity concentrations in estuary or marine sediments of the African continent. So, we included three radionuclides as the most representative of natural radioactivity (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in sediment samples taken from 20 coastal areas, by considering the Atlantic Ocean (Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco and Canary Islands), the Mediterranean Sea (Spain and Egypt) and the Red Sea (Egypt). Therefore, we have relied on scientific publications as well as on our own results. Moreover, to characterize the potential radiation dose to humans resulting from exposure to sediment natural radioactivity, eight radiological hazard indices were estimated: Total Absorbed Dose Rate in air (D), Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE), Annual Gonadal Dose Equivalent (AGDE), Radium Equivalent Activity (Raeq), External Hazard Index (Hex), Internal Hazard Index (Hin), Gamma Index (Ig) and Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR). The highest activity concentrations were found in sediment samples in Atlantic Ocean, especially in one site in Nigeria with a great exceed of the World Wide Average concentrations of 226Ra, 232Thand 40K, which are 35, 30 and 400 Bq Kg-1 respectively. Also, the calculation of the eight radiological hazard indices indicated significant radiological risks always in the same site in Nigeria in Atlantic Ocean.

description: Despite its limitations (high cost, fragility, etc.), the HgCdTe ternary has qualities for infrared applications that are often superior to those of its competitors. One main purposes of the present work is to review the known data of this material, to list its advantages but also its disadvantages. As exchange–correlation potential we used the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of Perdew et al. in addition the modified Beck-Johnson potential (TB – mBJ) approach, and implemented in the WIEN2k calculation code. The band gap energy values of materials have been improved by the use of the recent approximation of (TB – mBJ) where the results are very close with the experimental data. The results obtained have been compared with experimental data from the literature and other results of theoretical work.

description: In an international perspective, the introduction in 1942 of sex education in Swedish schools came very early. This article sets out to analyse the development of the Swedish discourse on sex education which had its origin in the women's movement and morality movement in the 1880s. From the 1920s, and particularly in connection with the construction of folkhemmet (“the people's home”), it increasingly became an issue for the Swedish public and state authorities. Sexuality and sexual hygiene were associated with collective ethics as well as with the individual’s responsibility for society. The notion of folkhälsa (“public health”) was used to discuss concepts of sexuality in the broader framework of eugenics and human genetics, with frequent reference to “moral pureness” and Erbgesundheit (“genealogical health”). Sex education eventually became an element of demographic policy.

description: Zwischenmenschliches Vertrauen, oder auch soziales Vertrauen, gilt im Allgemeinen als Schlüsselfaktor sowohl für die wirtschaftliche als auch für die demokratische Entwicklung. Ein Vergleich der Staaten in der Ostseeregion zeigt soziales Vertrauen auf der Ebene der einzelnen Bürger in Zusammenhang mit deren Engagement in sozialen und politischen Verbänden sowie in Zusammenhang mit Erziehungswerten wie Phantasie und Unabhängigkeit anstelle von Gehorsam und Anpassung. Sozialer Status und politisches Zugehörigkeitsgefühl sind hingegen weniger wichtig. Dennoch ist selbst nach Analyse dieser Faktoren das soziale Vertrauen in den westlichen Staaten deutlich größer als in den östlichen, ehemals kommunistischen Staaten. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass zur Herausbildung von sozialem Vertrauen nationale und historische Erfahrungen ebenfalls von Bedeutung sind.
INVESTIGATING THE CORROSION INIBITION POTENTIALS OF STRICHNOS SPINOSA L. EXTRACT ON ALUMINIUM IN 0.3M HYDROCHLORIC ACID SOLUTION

description: The corrosion inhibition potentials of Strichnos spinosa L. extract was assessed using weight-loss, linear polarization resistance (LPR), SEM and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) methods. Influence of extract concentrations (0.2g/l to 0.6g/l) and temperatures (303K to 323K) on corrosion and corrosion inhibition of aluminium was assessed. The results showed that increase in concentration of the extract of Strichnos spinosa L. decreased the corrosion rate of aluminium in the hydrochloric acid media. The decrease in inhibition efficiency with increase in temperature, suggested physical adsorption of the Strichnos spinosa L extract on the aluminium surfaces. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters calculated revealed that activation energy (Ea) for aluminium corrosion in hydrochloric acid solution increased in the presence of the plant extract and the values were found to be less than 80kJmol-1 proposing physisorption mechanism. Positive values of adsorption enthalpy, negative values of activation entropy and negative values of free energy show that the process is feasible and spontaneous. Linear polarization resistance curve shows that Strichnos spinosa L. extract inhibited both cathodic and anodic sites serving a mixed type inhibitor. FTIR results also showed that the inhibition mechanism was a physical type of adsorption process through the functional groups present in the extract by slight shift in absorption bands between the plant extract and that of the inhibited metal surfaces. Surface morphology also revealed that corrosion product confirmed the protection offered by the extract on the surface of the metal immersed in the acid media. The data obtained fitted well the Freundlich isotherm in relation to Langmuir isotherm tested.

Year: 2024

description: Aim of this review is to summarize current daily caffeine intake of children, adolescents, and adults, and trends in caffeine intake over the past decade. A literature search was conducted (1997-2015) which yielded 18 reports on nationally representative studies, describing caffeine consumption of over 275,000 children, adolescents and adults. The data revealed that mean total daily caffeine intake in children, adolescents, and adults is below caffeine intake recommendations such as those stated by Health Canada (2.5 mg/kg bw/day for children and adolescents, and 400 mg/day for adults) and the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA (3 mg/kg bw/day for children and adolescents, and 400 mg/day for adults). Total daily caffeine intake has remained stable in the last 10-15 years, and coffee, tea and soft drinks are the most important caffeine sources. Across all age groups, energy drinks contribute little to total caffeine intake. The highest potential for reducing daily caffeine intake is by limiting coffee consumption, and in some countries and age groups, by reducing tea and soft drink consumption.

description: Objective: To evaluate new research conducted over the past few years (2009-2016) assessing the effectiveness of potentially curative and/or preventive methods of alcohol hangover. Methods: Data were retrieved by a 4-stage systematic search process. A search of the online Pubmed and Scopus databases were performed, using a combination of keywords: "Alcohol," "Ethanol," and "C2H5OH," in combination with the terms "Hangover," "Treatment," and "Prevention." The search comprised studies listed between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2016. Findings were synthesized using a systematic approach. Quantitative analysis was not done because of the heterogeneity of the included studies. Results: Six controlled human studies were identified (placebo controlled-3, controlled studies with a comparator intervention-3). Of the interventions, the use of polysaccharide rich extract of Acanthopanax senticosus, red ginseng antihangover drink, Korean pear juice, KSS formula, and the After-Effect© were associated with a significant improvement of hangover symptoms (p < .05). The highest improvement was observed for the following symptoms: tiredness, nausea/vomiting, and stomachache. None of the methods were effective for all the symptoms. Conclusion: The available evidence suggests that several products are capable of significantly improving some, but not all, of the symptoms related to alcohol hangover. Therefore, further research is necessary to develop clinically effective hangover treatments.

description: The authors investigate the impact of two contrasting logics, effectuation and causation, on the innovation process in emerging economies (EEs). Effectuation theory, which emphasizes responses to uncertainty, is integrated with the innovation process literature, which emphasizes resource constraints. In particular, the authors show that in EEs the flexibility dimension of effectuation is underemphasized, while its pre-commitment dimension is overemphasized. The combination of effectuation and causation mechanisms is influenced by the industry context, as well as by the type, degree and timing of resource constraints. Employing longitudinal data from six innovation process cases across one industry (financial services) and four EEs (Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana and South Africa), the authors employ a process approach using real-world data to support their propositions.

description: Low weight and high strength requirements are prime target design objectives in strength demanding applications. Skillful design of low density, low weight and eco-friendly natural fiber composites could provide an alternative material route to actualization of lighter structures. The present study proposed ANN-FEM computational framework for macro-mechanical analysis of multi-oriented Plantain Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber Laminate (PEFBFL) and Plantain Pseudo Stem Fiber Laminate (PPSFL). Control factors were numerically varied using Finite Element Method (FEM) and the resultant FEM models which encapsulates material properties of the laminate was streamlined into Artificial Neural Network (ANN) training scheme. A standard feed-forward back propagation network was adopted and the ANN model consist of stacking sequence, laminate aspect ratio and fiber orientation as input variables while the selected network outputs variables includes average stress and displacement. The laminate constitutive equation was developed which enabled the establishment of laminate load deformation affiliation and equivalent elastic constants. The damage onset for individual lamina was detected by the maximum principal stress theory and the overall laminate strength of 40.12 N/mm^2 was obtained for PEFBFL and 32.16N/mm^2 for PPSFL. On the whole, there was steady reduction in laminates elastic modulus which points to compromised stiffness in material principal axis arising from gradual failure of the plies, this trend continued until the last ply failure occurred in ply 3 and 4 at 90 degrees in tensile mode of transverse direction. Stresses and displacements observed using CLT agree very closely with predictions of ANN

description: Electrification of rural population has been always a strategic decision for the counties with high potential in terms of solar energy. However, different renewable and sustainable energy technologies can be adopted for electrification including photovoltaic system, diesel or hybrid system (photovoltaic and diesel). However, the choice between these options is exclusively dependent on many factors including the reliability and the cost associated with these technologies. This study aims to examine the reliability of the electrification of rural areas using a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system in a Sahara environment (Algerian desert). In order to assess the electrical performance of the photovoltaic system, an experiment is set up in the village of Fadnoun, which is located in 2100 km south of Algiers (Algerian capital). The experiment is carried out for one year and the reliability of the system together with the way in which this electrification influence the energy consumption the villagers are assessed. It should be noted that this is the first experimental study of this kind that has been carried out in Algeria. In addition, a technical-economic analysis was conducted by taking into account many parameters including cont, nominal power, solar radiation, and low voltage length. The outcomes of this study can be used as a benchmark to assess the performance of renewable energy technologies in other rural areas and make an informed decision about the most appropriate technology for electrification in rural areas.

description: This paper reportedly demonstrated the successful construction of a pH-meter which uses microcontroller based in measuring solutions of water and different samples. It is a versatile system, and by simply replacing the sensors and making some changes within the computer code, the system can be used to measure the acidity and alkalinity of different solution samples. The standard deviation and the correlation coefficient of these results show high linearity of the constructed device. Buffers 4, 7, 9 and 10 were used to calibrate both pH meters. The results were reproducible being displayed on a LCD. Paired sample correlation reveals that the relationship between the fabricated and imported pH meters was significantly relevant (P=0.000<0.05), has a very strong relationship and a positive correlation of 0.992. This implies that the fabricated and imported pH meters have very close performance.

description: This research concentrates on heavy metals in urban soil in Yenagoa metropolis including 3D modeling of the environment by applying GIS and remote sensing techniques to evaluate the spatial distribution of heavy metal in the soil for better visualization of contamination zone and non-contamination zone. The results reveal that the spatial pattern of heavy metals is successfully interpolated based on situ data by using Ordinary Kriging technique. It also shows the absence of contamination in the area expect dumpsites in soil 1 in Akenfa,2 13,19 in Etegwe, and 20 in Swail. Pearson Correlation Coefficient is significant for the following heavy metals P >0.05 at Zn-Pb, Fe- Zn, Cr-Zn, Mn-Fe, and Correlation is Highly Significant at P > 0.01 Fe-Pb, Cu-Pb, Cu-Zn, Cu-Fe, Cd-Pb, Cd-Zn, Cd-Fe, Cd-Cu, Cr-Pb, Cr-Fe, Cr-Cu, Cr-Cd, Ni-Pb, Ni-Zn, Ni-Fe, Ni-Cu, Ni-Cd, Ni-Cr, Mn-Zn, Mn-Cu, Mn-Cd, and two Principal Component Analysis were found. The first principal component explained 80.324 % and the second principal component explained 18.922 % of the total variance, which indicates two sources of heavy metals in the area. besides that, urban development in the area is about 23 % of the landmass. The impacts of pollution on soil are found close to the river making the river water in the area not suitable to be used for drinking and watching household items due it serves as a dumpsite. Therefore, the area lack of environmental law and need to embark on site suitable for landfill using GIS and Remote sensing

description: Nano-LiBH4is a promising material in technology development, especially as a storage materialof the alternative energies that has prospects in the future, i.e. hydrogen. The depleting fossil energy sources requires research and development of renewable energy to fulfil human energy needs on a large scale. This includes the used of methods and materials in storing this energy. This paper aims to review the researchresults of scientific studies on material sources, methods, and catalysts that can be used to obtain LiBH4nanomaterials with a high application rate, especially as a safe storage material for hydrogen energy. This review contains 15 papers from 1945 to 2019 consisting of several LiBH4 synthesis methods, i.e.ballmilling,chemical treatment, electrosynthesis, impregnation, andnano-confinement.The comparison results show that the best method for synthesizing LiBH4wasball milling because the process was simple and only requires a short time to obtain the nanoparticles. There are several goodmaterial sourcesfor LiBH4 synthesis,i.e. lithium, boron, Mg-Al waste, metaborate compounds, LiBD4, ZnCl2, LiH, LiBO2, Li3BO3catalyst,commercial LiBH4, and mesoporous carbon. Based on the comparison, the beststarting material was a mixture of commercial LiBH4 with mesoporous carbon which produces nano-LiBH4/Cmesoporous with a diameter of 5 nm.

description: The effect of numerous heavy metals such as Co (as CoCl2), Cu (as CuSO4), Zn (as ZnSO4) and As (as Na2HAsO4) concentrations on garden cress (L. sativum L.) was tested. During this experiment, the measurement of several parameters such as root length (RL), plumule length (PL), germination percentage (GP), germination index (GI), germination rate index (GRI), vigor index (VI), coefficient of velocity of germination (CVG) and mean germination time (MGT) were done. The results confirmed that various treatments of heavy metals possessed statistically significant impacts on the GRI, GI, MGT, CVG and VI. However, at different metal concentrations indicated that GP did not differ significantly for Co, Cu and Zn and differ significantly for As denoting an inverted threshold dose-response model. The results showed that the trend of GI, VI, CVG of As, RL and PL of As and Cu reduced with increasing metal doses indicating an inverted threshold model. The GRI decreased with mounting metal concentrations implying an inverted U-shaped germination curve of L. sativum L. seeds in the experiment, and the same for PL of Co and Zn. However, the results of MGT and CVG (of Co, Cu and Zn) denote no hermetic effect. In addition, the results indicated that root length was decreased more than shoot length and was expressed as the sensitivity index. Generally, it concluded that the toxicity of the examined metals diminishes by the following succession: As > Cu > Co > Zn.

description: March 2, 2020; Morocco announced its first positive new coronavirus case in a Moroccan from Italy after the epidemic of this new infection emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Since then, new coronavirus pneumonia has spread quickly and many countries and territories were affected. Influenza virus, a common virus often occurring in winter as well, appears to be similar to COVID-19 in terms of transmission characteristics [1] [2]. The common clinical manifestations of patients with influenza virus included fever, cough, rhinitis, sore throat, headache, dyspnea, myalgia, and radiographic evidence of pneumonia, which are similar to those of COVID-19 patients [2] [3]. The speed of transmission is an important point of difference between the two viruses. Influenza has a shorter median incubation period and a shorter serial interval than COVID-19 virus. Also the Mortality for COVID-19 appears higher than for influenza, especially seasonal influenza. Currently, there are few specific antiviral strategies, but several potent candidates of antivirals and repurposed drugs are under urgent investigation [4]. Pending the discovery of a specific vaccine or treatment, many have carried out hygienic rules and traditional herbal medicine to prevent or relieve the common symptoms of corona virus diseases (cough; fever; runny nose) and strengthen the immune system. In this mini review, we report traditional recipes based on medicinal plants used in Moroccan folk medicine and known for their virtues therapeutic.
