description: Millennium development goals are aimed at having sustainable safe drinking water and basic sanitation. Consequently an assessment of groundwater quality was carried out in Odigbo LGA of Ondo State,Nigeria to assess it for drinking, domestic and irrigation uses. Samples from 30 randomly selected ground watersources; shallow wells and boreholes were analyzed using APHA method. The results show that all the parameters are within the permissible limit of World Health Organization. The physico-chemical analysis of groundwater samples indicates that the dominant major cations are in decreasing order of Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and the dominant anions are HCO-3, Cl-, SO-24, NO-3. The values of water quality index varies suggest a Good water (WQI of 50-75) accounts for 70% of the study area. The dominant groundwater facies revealed in this study are the non-carbonate alkali (primary salinity) exceeds 50% (zone 7); and transition zone with no one cation-anion pair exceeds 50% (zone 9), while evaporation; rock–water interaction, and precipitation; and silicate weathering process are the dominant processes in the hydrogeochemical evolution of the groundwater. In conclusion, the water in the study area are good/suitable for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes with low equivalent salinity concentrate and moderate electrical conductivity.

description: Sanitation is a universal right recognized by the international community. The benefits it offers are immense and related to health, economy, the environment and social well-being. But the development of this public service requires long-term expertise and investment. In a context of repair planning, these inputs are not frequent and therefore rigorous planning is required for resource optimization. Aware of this issue, the present study has begun to examine the actions undertaken in recent years in the cities of Abomey and Bohicon in central Benin in order to identify the capitalizable results and weaknesses in the effectiveness of storm sanitation. In total, while the secondary gutter network that sanitizes the streets of Abomey and Bohicon covers 40.16% of the planning of the remediation plan developed in 2010, the development of the primary network remains limited. Despite the importance of resources mobilized to achieve the current level of sanitation, an additional effort is needed for the planning and development of drainage works and requires the mobilization of the various institutional actors (Government, Municipalities, Technical and Financial Partners, Research Institutions). Analysis of the maintenance and maintenance of infrastructure also reveals a lack of dynamism in this sector, the burden of which lies with municipalities. Indeed, in the flow of many priorities that fall within their competence, this concern is often relegated to the background. In the face of this highly colorful picture, institutional innovation is an interesting step to be taken to improve this public service, the defect of which is devoid of many citizens, human dignity.

description: The recreational use of various stimulant drugs has been implicated in the development of movement disorders through dysregulation of the dopaminergic and serotoninergic neurotransmitter systems. The present study investigated psychomotor differences in current and former recreational stimulant drug users compared with nonusing controls. Sixty participants comprised 3 groups: 20 current stimulant drug users (CSUs; 11 men, aged 31.4 ± 9.1 years), 20 former stimulant drug users (FSUs; 5 men, aged 39.1 ± 8.5 years), and 20 nonuser controls (NUCs; 5 men, aged 35.7 ± 6.4 years). Psychomotor arm steadiness for each participant was assessed with a wrist-attached accelerometer during 5 arm positions with eyes open and then eyes closed. Arm-drop of arm position was indicated by the arm longitudinal rotation axis (ALoRA), and tremor was indicated by the overall vector of dynamic body acceleration (VeDBA). Overall, CSUs performed the most poorly on ALoRA (P < .05) and VeDBA indices (P < .05), and FSUs perform almost as poorly on VeDBA indices (P < .05) compared with NUCs. It was concluded that stimulant drug use, primarily MDMA and amphetamines, may result in acute stimulant-induced tremor as well as long-term proprioceptive deficits in terms of arm-droop.

description: This study was designed to evaluate in vitro the anti-lithiasic efficacy of aqueous extracts obtained from Zizyphus Lotus fruit kernel powder in human urine. In addition, the prevalence of urolithiasis in the world is increasing rapidly. Urolithiasis consists of the formation of crystalline aggregates called "urinary stones" that develop in the urinary tract, usually in the kidneys or ureters, but can also affect the bladder or urethra. The objective of this work is to evaluate, in vitro, the anticrystallising activity of the "forgotten fruit" of choice against calcium oxalate crystals in human urine. The fruits of Zizyphus lotus were collected from the Béni-Mellal-Khenifra region. Samples of the fruit were crushed with a mortar so as to have a greater. Afterwards, the samples were subjected to a cold aqueous maceration at 4°C for 48 hours. The study of the in vitro crystallization of calcium oxalate in human urine was carried out using the Polarized Light Optical Microscope (PLOM). The addition of the aqueous extract of the Zizyphus lotus fruit grater to human urine decreased the size and number of calcium oxalate di-hydrate crystals and the fruit showed anti-lithiasic activity in vitro by inhibiting the growth of calcium oxalate crystals. Therefore, inhibition of the aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals as a lithogenic species.

Institutional Change and the Venture Capital Development Process: Evidence from Emerging Economies
Creators: name: Lingelbach, David C
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015

description: We investigate the impact of formal institutional change on the venture capital (VC) development process. In particular, this study contrasts VC development processes taking place in stable formal institutional environments with those in volatile environments. We show that formal institutional change—both improvement and decline—facilitates the VC development process. As institutions change, public-private cooperation is important in overcoming weak enabling conditions in the VC development process. Private VC fund managers can facilitate this cooperation by viewing public investors as part of the solution, remaining vigilant for state-dominated efforts at VC development and, where neither are possible, relocating their expertise to similar institutional contexts. Employing longitudinal interview and archival data from four emerging economies with a range of institutional change and quality levels, Botswana, Indonesia, Pakistan, and South Africa, we provide empirical support for our propositions.

description: Eyewitness identification experiments typically involve a single trial: a participant views an event and subsequently makes a lineup decision. Compared to this single-trial paradigm, multiple-trial designs are more efficient but significantly reduce ecological validity and may affect the strategies participants use to make lineup decisions. We examined the effects of a number of forensically-relevant variables (i.e., memory strength, type of disguise, degree of disguise, and lineup type) on eyewitness accuracy, choosing, and confidence across 12 target-present and 12 target-absent lineup trials (N = 349; 8,376 lineup decisions). Rates of correct rejections and choosing (across both target-present and -absent lineups) did not vary across the 24 trials as reflected by main effects or interactions with trial number. Trial number had a significant but trivial quadratic effect on correct identifications (OR = 0.99) and interacted significantly, but again trivially, with disguise type (OR = 1.00). Trial number did not significantly influence participants’ confidence in correct identifications, confidence in correct rejections, or confidence in target-absent selections. Thus, multiple-trial designs appear to have minimal effects on eyewitness accuracy, choosing, and confidence. Researchers should consider using multiple-trial designs for conducting eyewitness identification experiments.

description: Nowadays, many research teams are more focusing on optimizing the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy which turned-out to be the solution of the energy crisis and the increasing of fossil power price all over the globe. In Our country, the policy adopted by the government is to encourage the use and the development of solar energy and wind power. Morocco, land which enjoys an illuminating sun and a speed of winds of the most considerable, put wind force in the middle of its strategy of development of renewable energy sources, as bottomless deposit in perpetual evolution. The aim of this work is to present a literature review of different kind of maintenance strategies applied in the wind power industry. It will cover the use of optimization techniques and algorithms in order to boost performance, help in monitoring and reduce the cost of energy and maximize the profitability of a wind farm. The choice between adopting classical techniques or use new methods based on artificial intelligence and machine learning or even combination of multiple algorithms is a decisive factor for the success or failure of wind farm projects. Thereafter we will develop a multi-criteria study in order to determine the essential equipment of the wind turbines in order to improve the maintenance programs. The multi-criteria method captures all the information deemed necessary for the comparison between the equipment.

description: This study aim to evaluated different vegetation indices for assessment vegetation cover change in 18 years period in desert region of west of Karkheh river. We used satellite data and For change detection, a number of 16 vegetation indices were calculated and compared with vegetation cover assessments at sampling points made during fieldwork. According to land use types and heterogeneous percent vegetation cover, the region was divided into four categories and suitable vegetation index for each land use was selected. The results show that the highest correlation between NDVI and vegetation cover percentage occurs for forest plantation (R2=0.78). It also showed that MSAVI2 had highest correlation for sandy land cover (R2=0/73), AVI (R2=0.82) and DVI (R2=0.79) indexes have highest correlation with vegetation cover percent in wastelands and arable land, respectively. The use of vegetation indexes is more suitable for the study and changes cover map preparation of these land use. Difference map were prepared in the 3 classes (loss, constant and gain). During the study period, due to desertification projects performed by government and combined plantations in order to enjoy from the people participation and also conversion of mulch-covered areas and wasteland to agricultural lands and gardens, coverage has increased.

description: This study investigates how nation-level cultural values ('individualism' and 'collectivism') and intra-organizational task control mechanisms influence the level of organizations’ use of formal telework practices. Employing a multi-level analysis on survey data (2009/10), including 1577 organizations within 18 nations, we found that ‘high use of formal telework practices in organizations' was more likely when: (1) organizations operated in nations characterized by strong national values; and when they employed (2) 'hard' indirect controls (i.e. individual performance-related pay and 360º performance-evaluations). High telework use was less likely when organizations employed direct controls (i.e. higher proportions of managers) and ‘soft’ indirect controls (i.e. higher proportions of professionals). 'Low use of formal telework practices' was more likely when organizations employed 'soft' indirect controls. Our findings suggest that national cultural values can function as 'soft' indirect controls to mitigate the 'telework risk' of high levels of telework practices. Internal 'soft' task controls only sufficed for managing low levels of telework practices. We discuss the smart and dark sides of telework and how these relate to the management of telework practice. Implications for future telework research and practices are discussed.

description: Background: High amounts of time spent sitting can increase cardiovascular disease risk and are deleteriously associated cardio-metabolic risk biomarkers. Though evidence suggests that accruing sitting time in prolonged periods may convey additional risk, verification using high-quality measures is needed. We examined this issue in adults from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, using accurate measures of sitting accumulation. Methods: In 2011/12, 739 adults aged 36 to 89 years (mean±SD 58±10 years) wore activPAL3(tm) monitors (which provide accurate objective measures of sitting); 678 provided 4 valid days of monitor data and complete cardio-metabolic biomarker and confounder data. Multivariable linear regression models examined associations of sitting time, sitting time accrued in 30 minute bouts (prolonged sitting time), and three measures of sitting accumulation patterns with cardio-metabolic risk markers: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, high-and low-density lipoprotein (HDL and LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour post-load glucose (PLG). Interactions tests examined whether associations of sitting time with biomarkers varied by usual sitting bout duration. PLOS Results: Adjusted for potential confounders, greater amounts of sitting time and prolonged sitting time were significantly (p < 0.05) deleteriously associated with BMI, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Total sitting time was also significantly associated with higher PLG. Sitting accumulation patterns of frequently interrupted sitting (compared to patterns with relatively more prolonged sitting) were significantly beneficially associated with BMI, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, PLG, and with FPG. Effect sizes were typically larger for accumulation patterns than for sitting time. Significant interactions (p < 0.05) showed that associations of sitting time with HDL, triglycerides and PLG became more deleterious the longer at a time sitting was usually accumulated. Conclusions: Adding to previous evidence reliant on low-quality measures, our study showed that accumulating sitting in patterns where sitting was most frequently interrupted had significant beneficial associations with several cardio-metabolic biomarkers and that sitting for prolonged periods at a time may exacerbate some of the effects of sitting time. The findings support sedentary behavior guidelines that promote reducing and regularly interrupting sitting.

description: Corrections for fibre aperture losses in modern surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are at the foundation of statistical studies of galaxy properties, yet these corrections are not well understood. We compare direct measurements of the total (aperture-free) Hα-based star formation rate from integral-field spectroscopy with Brinchmann et al. and Gilbank et al. derived estimates of the star formation rate from fibre-aperture spectroscopy for the same z ≃ 0.07 star-forming galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This comparison reveals that aperture-corrected star formation rates are underestimated for more highly star-forming galaxies: specifically by 0.3 and 0.6 dex at rates of star formation of 10 and 100M ⊙ yr -1 , respectively, while the underestimate vanishes at 1 M ⊙ yr -1 . Furthermore, previous estimates of the aperture loss for Hα emission onlymarginally correlate with direct measurements of the aperture loss for individual galaxies. The primary limitation of our work is the lack of spatially resolved dust attenuation corrections. We conclude that corrections for aperture losses should be considered with caution.

description: The present research project aims to investigate the profession of conference interpreting in Japan. The first section furnishes a summary of the Japanese language and also studies how the geography of Japan reshapes Japan's monolingual and monocultural landscape. The research project also reveals the history of interpreting, educational institutions related to conference interpreter training, and current trends in the interpreting profession, along with associations and organizations of conference interpreters in Japan. Moreover, the research conducted for this project unveils the current situation of interpreting in Japan and reviews whether it is a fully established profession as it is in the European Union—whose institutions have one of the most comprehensive interpreting services in the world (Introduction to Interpretation 2019). Ultimately, the research project examines universities, prevailing trends, and advancements associated with conference interpreting and both their positive and negative impacts on the profession itself.

description: Glutamate is an indispensable neurotransmitter, triggering postsynaptic signals upon recognition by postsynaptic receptors. We questioned the phylogenetic position and the molecular details of when and where glutamate recognition arose in the glutamate-gated chloride channels. Experiments revealed that glutamate recognition requires an arginine residue in the base of the binding site, which originated at least three distinct times according to phylogenetic analysis. Most remarkably, the arginine emerged on the principal face of the binding site in the Lophotrochozoan lineage, but 65 amino acids upstream, on the complementary face, in the Ecdysozoan lineage. This combined experimental and computational approach throws new light on the evolution of synaptic signalling.

description: This paper examines the marketing system for fish products at the Nouakchott fish market. Halieutic products exploited at market level come exclusively from artisanal fisheries and are of marine origin. The survey showed that there are 36 pelagic and demersal species, 7 crustacean species and 7 species of molluscs, these species are of significant commercial. Exporters (wholesalers) are interested in marketing their products to the countries of Europe (Spain, France and Portugal) followed by North Africa (Tunisia and Algeria), West Africa (Benin and Ivory Coast) and Japan. Fresh species account for 72% of exports and frozen 28%. The hygienic situation remains insufficient in the facilities dedicated to retailers, and the conditions of transport and conservation to be improved.

description: The Research Software Metadata (RSMD) Guidelines poster presents a structured framework to improve the visibility, recognition, and reusability of research software in academia. Aimed at researchers, software engineers, curators, and institutional staff, the guidelines align with FAIR principles and support the broader goals of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The poster outlines seven key aspects of software metadata: general information, accessibility and preservation, reference and identification, description and classification, credit and attribution, reuse and legal considerations, and re-executability. These categories are visually represented to emphasize their role in ensuring high-quality, sustainable metadata. The poster highlights the importance of embedding intrinsic metadata files directly into source code—such as README, LICENSE, CITATION.cff, and codemeta.json—and introduces the CodeMeta tools that support this practice, including a metadata vocabulary, crosswalk table, and generator. It acknowledges current challenges in adoption, automation, and proper citation while encouraging community engagement and institutional support. The RSMD Guidelines are designed to be adaptable across disciplines and national contexts, supporting open science policies such as those from UNESCO. A QR code or link directs viewers to the full guidelines on GitHub, inviting them to explore and implement these best practices for sustainable research software.

description: We present a theoretical study of intergalactic metal absorption lines imprinted in the spectra of distant quasars during and after the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). We use high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations at high redshift (4 < z < 8), assuming a uniform UV background Haardt-Madau 12, post-processing with CLOUDY photoionization models and Voigt profile fitting to accurately calculate column densities of the ions C II, CIV, Si II, Si IV and OI in the intergalactic medium (IGM). In addition, we generate mock observations of neutral hydrogen (H I) at z < 6. Our simulations successfully reproduce the evolution of the cosmological mass density (Ω) of CII and C IV, with Ω C II exceeding Ω C IV at z > 6, consistent with the current picture of the tail of the EoR. The simulated C II exhibits a bimodal distribution with large absorptions in and around galaxies, and some traces in the lower density IGM. We find some discrepancies between the observed and simulated column density relationships among different ionic species at z = 6, probably due to uncertainties in the assumed UV background. Finally, our simulations are in good agreement with observations of the HI column density distribution function at z = 4 and the HI cosmological mass density Ω HI at 4 < z < 6.
