Opis:
The improper allocation of economic and environmental resources damages the United Nations sustainable development Agenda, which remains a challenge for policymakers to stop the rot through efficient governance mechanisms. The study designed an efficient environmental governance framework by extending the different governance factors linked to the environmental sustainability ratings in the cross-section of 67 countries. The results of the two-regime based estimator show that environmental corruption (regime-1), environmental politics (regime-2), and environmental laws (regime-2) negatively correlated with the environmental sustainability rating, whereas environmental democracy (regime-1 & 2) positively correlated with the environmental sustainability agenda across countries. The government effectiveness and the country’s per capita income both escalates environmental sustainability ratings. The results align with the Demopolis theory, the effective regulatory theory, and the theory of law and politics. The causality estimates show that environmental corruption and government effectiveness causes environmental politics and economic growth. In contrast, environmental democracy and environmental regulations cause a country’s per capita income. The bidirectional causality is found between environmental regulations and environmental corruption on the one hand, while environmental regulations and environmental politics Granger cause each other on the other hand. The results show the importance of environmental regulations in managing ecological corruption and politics across countries. The variance decomposition analysis suggested that environmental politics likely influenced the environmental sustainability agenda, followed by government effectiveness and environmental democracy for the next ten years. The study emphasized the need to design an efficient environmental governance framework that minimizes environmental corruption and enables them to move towards environmental democracy, stringent environmental laws, and regulations. Government effectiveness would mainly be linked to reducing corruption and political instability to achieve clean, green and sustainable development.
Niewłaściwa alokacja zasobów gospodarczych i środowiskowych szkodzi Agendzie ONZ na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju, która pozostaje wyzwaniem dla decydentów, aby powstrzymać negatywne trendy za pomocą skutecznych mechanizmów zarządzania. W ramach tego studium opracowano efektywne ramy zarządzania środowiskiem poprzez rozszerzenie zakresu różnych czynników zarządzania związanych z ocenami poziomu zrównoważenia środowiskowego wśród 67 krajów. Wyniki pokazują, że korupcja środowiskowa (system-1), polityka środowiskowa (system-2) i prawo środowiskowe (system-2) ujemnie korelowały z oceną zrównoważenia środowiskowego, podczas gdy demokracja środowiskowa (systemy-1 & 2) pozytywnie skorelowane są z Agendą zrównoważonego rozwoju środowiska w różnych krajach. Zarówno skuteczność rządu, jak i dochód kraju na mieszkańca podnoszą oceny zrównoważenia środowiskowego. Wyniki są zgodne z teorią Demopolis, efektywną teorią regulacji oraz teorią prawa i polityki. Szacunki przyczynowości pokazują, że korupcja środowiskowa i skuteczność rządu wpływają na politykę środowiskową i wzrost gospodarczy. W przeciwieństwie do tego, demokracja środowiskowa i regulacje środowiskowe powodują wzrost dochodu na mieszkańca. Dwukierunkowy związek przyczynowy występuje między regulacjami środowiskowymi a korupcją środowiskową z jednej strony, podczas gdy regulacje środowiskowe i polityka środowiskowa Granger są ze sobą bezpośrednio związane. Wyniki pokazują znaczenie przepisów środowiskowych w zarządzaniu korupcją ekologiczną i polityką w różnych krajach. Analiza rozkładu wariancji sugeruje, że polityka środowiskowa prawdopodobnie wpłynęła na program zrównoważonego rozwoju środowiska, a następnie skuteczność rządu i demokrację środowiskową przez następne dziesięć lat. W badaniu podkreślono potrzebę zaprojektowania skutecznych ram zarządzania środowiskiem, które zminimalizują korupcję środowiskową i umożliwią dążenie do demokracji środowiskowej, rygorystycznych przepisów i regulacji dotyczących ochrony środowiska. Skuteczność rządu byłaby powiązana głównie z ograniczaniem korupcji i niestabilności politycznej w celu osiągnięcia czystego, zielonego i zrównoważonego rozwoju.

Opis:
The goal of the current study was to determine the mineral content of different fruit varieties (Na, K, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Cu), as well as the effects of various processing methods (such as canning, drying, stewing, syrup process, and concentration of juices). All tested fruits that were subjected to various types of processing were exposed to a degree of mineral loss, varying from very little to high reduction. However, it still retains its nutritional value. All fig products have the greatest levels of most tested minerals, compared to other processed fruit products, particularly P and Fe. In turn, orange products supply higher quantities of Ca. On the other hand, apricot products have a comparable value of other minerals with those found in fig and orange products. Among canned juices, guava had the highest contents of Ca, P, and Fe, while mango scored the first juice as Mg and Zn supplying. Canned apricot halves contain the best amounts of K, Ca, P and Mg than the same products of apple and peach. Among jam products, fig jam has higher amounts of Na, Ca, P, Mg, and Fe than those found in other fruit jams. The concentration of fruit juices by vacuum-heating or dehydration of fruit produced higher mineral retentions than the fruit products that were processed by other techniques. The concentrated orange juice by vacuum-heating processing retained most of the minerals found in raw juice, also dried apricot sheet retained higher minerals than those retained in dehydrated whole apricot.

Opis:
When conducting entomological research, it is necessary to have a sufficient quantity of the desired pest. One of the pests commonly used in research is Spodoptera litura. Mass rearing of herbivorous caterpillars like S. litura requires large amounts of a suitable food source. Hence, the use of an easy-to-grow host plant would be most practical and reasonable. Centella asiatica known as ‘pegaga’ grows easily, produces plenty of leaves, and is available throughout the year in Malaysia. The suitability of C. asiatica as a food source for S. litura was evaluated by studying the biology of this pest on excised C. asiatica leaves, under laboratory conditions. S. litura completed its whole life cycle in 29 to 35 days. The mean pupal weight and the average number of eggs laid by a single female were 0.341 g and 1,930 eggs, respectively. Daily monitoring of the larval development stages as well as analysis on the width of head capsules, revealed the existence of six instars during the larval stages of S. litura. The cumulative survival rate for immature developmental stages was 80%, while the stage-specific survivorship was over 90%. This study demonstrated the use of ‘pegaga’ as a suitable new food source for when rearing S. litura larvae in the laboratory.

Nanocrystalline $Sn_{1-x}Fe_xO_2$ (where x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04) powders have been successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method followed by sintering at 1000°C for 3 h. The morphology and structure of the samples have been analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction, respectively. X-ray diffraction results revealed that all diffraction peaks positions agree well with the reflection of a tetragonal rutile structure of SnO₂ phase without extra peaks. The formation of a tetragonal rutile structure of SnO₂ nanostructures was further supported by the Raman spectra. The band gap of Fe-doped SnO₂ nanoparticles was estimated from the diffuse reflectance spectra using the Kubelka-Munk function and it was decreasing slightly with the increase of Fe ion concentration from 3.59 to 3.52 eV. The variation in band gap is attributed predominantly to the lattice strain and particle size. The presence of chemical bonding was confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectra.

Opis:
In the last few years, a great attention was paid to the deep learning Techniques used for image analysis because of their ability to use machine learning techniques to transform input data into high level presentation. For the sake of accurate diagnosis, the medical field has a steadily growing interest in such technology especially in the diagnosis of melanoma. These deep learning networks work through making coarse segmentation, conventional filters and pooling layers. However, this segmentation of the skin lesions results in image of lower resolution than the original skin image. In this paper, we present deep learning based approaches to solve the problems in skin lesion analysis using a dermoscopic image containing skin tumor. The proposed models are trained and evaluated on standard benchmark datasets from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) 2018 Challenge. The proposed method achieves an accuracy of 96.67% for the validation set. The experimental tests carried out on a clinical dataset show that the classification performance using deep learning-based features performs better than the state-of-the-art techniques.

Quinoa plants, originating from the Andean mountains in South America, have a large scale of biological diversity. Along with the cultivation favorableness of quinoa, it reveals superior nutrition aspects. In comparison with cereal crops, like rice, maize, and wheat, quinoa seeds contain valuable quantities of protein of remarkable quality. The current study compared four quinoa cultivars from different origins in terms of protein composition and germinability. In addition, this study focused on the effect of different geographical cultivation areas on the protein composition of wild Egyptian quinoa seeds and three other cultivars that vary in their cultivation origins. Significant differences were observed among the quinoa varieties in the germination percentage (GP), shoot length (SL), and root length (RL). Using the technology of Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy, the highest protein value was recorded for the American variety (18.39%), followed by the Wild Egyptian variety (17.16%). The aromatic phenylalanine recorded the highest concentration of the essential amino acid bulk. The Rainbow variety contained 12.7 g-aa/kg protein, followed by the wild Egyptian variety with 4.9 g-aa/kg protein. In turn, glutamic was the most abundant amino acid of the non-essential amino acids, with 10.1, 4, 23.4, and 4 (g-aa/kg protein) for quinoa varieties, Wild Egyptian, American, Rainbow, Black, respectively. SDS-PAGE was used to identify the allelic variations in the seed storage protein profiles among the studied quinoa varieties. The studied quinoa varieties showed 23.81% of the polymorphism in the protein bands, with the mean band frequency of 0.881. The resulting protein bands fluctuated in the range between 115.02 and 16 kDa. With a similarity percentage (90%), Wild Egyptian and the Rainbow quinoa varieties can be classified in one clade.

Opis:
This paper emphasizes on analysing and predicting the reliability of an automobile crankshaft by analysing the time to failure (TTF) through the parametric distribution function. The TTF was modelled to predict the likelihood of failure for crankshaft during its operational condition over a given time interval through the development of the stochastic algorithm. The developed stochastic algorithm has the capability to measure the parametric distribution function and validate the predict the reliability rate, mean time to failure and hazard rate. T, the algorithm has the capability to statistically validate the algorithm to obtain the optimal parametric model to represent the failure of the component against the actual time to failure data from the local automobile industry. Hence, the validated results showed that the three parameter Weibull distribution provided an accurate and efficient foundation in modelling the reliability rate when compared with the actual sampling data. The suggested parametric distribution function can be used to improve the design and the life cycle due to its capability in accelerating and decelerating the mechanism of failure based on time without adjusting the level of stress. Therefore, an understanding of the parametric distribution posed by the reliability and hazard rate onto the component can be used to improve the design and increase the life cycle based on the dependability of the component over a given period of time. The proposed reliability assessment through the developed stochastic algorithm provides an accurate, efficient, fast and cost effective reliability analysis in contrast to costly and lengthy experimental techniques.
W prezentowanej pracy przedstawiono metodę analizy oraz predykcji niezawodności wału korbowego pojazdu samochodowego opartą na analizie czasu do uszkodzenia (TTF) z wykorzystaniem funkcji rozkładu parametrycznego. W artykule, stworzono model TTF pozwalający na przewidywanie prawdopodobieństwa uszkodzenia wału korbowego w stanie pracy w danym przedziale czasu za pomocą nowo opracowanego algorytmu stochastycznego. Opracowany algorytm stochastyczny umożliwia mierzenie funkcji rozkładu parametrycznego oraz weryfikację przewidywanego współczynnika niezawodności, średniego czasu do uszkodzenia oraz współczynnika zagrożenia. Algorytm daje możliwość statystycznej weryfikacji modelu w odniesieniu do rzeczywistych danych dotyczących czasu do uszkodzenia pochodzących z lokalnego przemysłu samochodowego. Weryfikacja taka pozwala na otrzymanie optymalnego modelu parametrycznego reprezentującego uszkodzenie części składowej. Zweryfikowane wyniki wykazały, że trójparametrowy rozkład Weibulla stanowi dokładne i wydajne narzędzie do modelowania współczynnika niezawodności w zestawieniu z rzeczywistymi danymi z próby. Proponowaną dystrybuantę parametryczną można wykorzystywać do doskonalenia konstrukcji oraz cyklu życia wału korbowego ponieważ daje ona możliwość przyspieszania i zwalniania mechanizmu uszkodzenia, na podstawie czasu, bez potrzeby regulacji poziomu naprężenia. Zatem, znajomość rozkładu parametrycznego oraz obliczonych na jego podstawie współczynników niezawodności i zagrożenia omawianego elementu mechanizmu korbowego, pozwala na doskonalenie konstrukcji oraz wydłużenie cyklu życia wału korbowego w oparciu o dane dotyczące jego niezawodności w danym okresie czasu. Proponowana metoda oceny niezawodności z wykorzystaniem opracowanego w artykule algorytmu stochastycznego umożliwia dokładną, wydajną, szybką i tanią analizę niezawodności w odróżnieniu od kosztownych i czasochłonnych technik eksperymentalnych.

Opis:
Despite the reputation earned by aromatic and medicinal plants of Algeria, the chemical constituents of Eucalyptus globulus essential oil (EGEO) of Blida origin has not previously been investigated. Thus, the present study has been conducted for the determination of chemical constituents and different physico-chemical properties of the EGEO. Chemical composition of the EGEO, grown in Algeria, was analysed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. The chemical components were identified on the basis of Retention Time and comparing with mass spectral database of standard compounds. Relative amounts of detected compounds were calculated on the basis of GC peak areas. Fresh leaves of E. globulus on steam distillation yielded 0.96 % (v/w) of essential oil whereas the analysis resulted in the identification of a total of 11 constituents, 1.8 cineole (85.8 %), α-pinene (7.2 %), and β-myrcene (1.5 %) being the main components. Other notable compounds identified in the oil were β-pinene, limonene, α-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, linalool, pinocarveol, terpinen-4-ol, and α-terpineol. The physical properties such as specific gravity, refractive index and optical rotation and the chemical properties such as saponification value, acid number and iodine number of the EGEO were examined. The oil extracted has been analyzed to have 1.4602 - 1.4623 refractive index value, 0.918 - 0.919 specific gravity (sp.gr.), +9 - +10 optical rotation that satisfy the standards stipulated by European Pharmacopeia. All the physical and chemical parameters were in the range indicated by the ISO standards. Our findings will help to access the quality of the Eucalyptus oil which is important in the production of high value essential oils that will help to improve the economic condition of the community as well as the nation.

Opis:
Nitrided surfaces and composition gradients in thin films exhibit interesting mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Therefore, silicon (Si) thin films were prepared by electron beam evaporation and nitrided by an inductively coupled rf plasma. The effects of successive plasma processing power on structural and optical properties as well as electrical resistivity were examined by different characterization techniques. The Si thin films were transformed gradually into nitrides compound thin films and the amount of nitrogen in the film increased with increasing the rf processing power. The Si nitrided films showed structural, optical and electrical properties that depend on the nitriding power. Increasing the rf plasma processing power caused amorphization, reduced the thickness, increased transmittance, increased resistivity and decreased the reflectance of the Si films. The electrical resistivity increased about eight orders of magnitude when the sample nitrided at 500 W. Different optical band gap were determined indicating the presence of different competing phases in the same film. The decrease in refractive index with plasma treatment power is attributed to the possible change in the bucking density as well as to the increase in the band gap.

Intestinal parasitic diseases in Gaza Strip are a significant health problem. The main aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of parasitic infection among patients in the five governorates of the Gaza Strip. A crosssectional parasitological survey was conducted on 600 patients. Stool specimens were examined microscopically for the presence of parasite eggs or larvae/cysts per wet amount by the saline iodine and formol-ether concentration method. Of 600 subjects examined, 245 (40.8%) were infected with one or more intestinal parasites. Entamoeba histolytica/dispar and Giardia lamblia were the most prevalent parasites amongst the population (28.8%), (9.5%). Female patients demonstrated a higher prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections (42.7%) than males (39.0%). However, this difference was not significant (p>0.05). According to occupation, the rate of infection was highest among farmers (56.0%), followed by employers (44.2%) with laborers showing the lowest rate (30.17%). These differences in occupational prevalence were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). The present study demonstrates that intestinal protozoan infections are still a public health problem in the Gaza strip, with Entamoeba and Giardia infections being most common. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective prevention and control strategies, including health education and environmental sanitation improvement.

Opis:
The sand termite, Psammotermes hypostoma Desneux is a major pest in the New Valley Governorate, Egypt. Great efforts have been taken to control the pest. We evaluated the toxicity of four selected neonicotinoids [acetamiprid (20% SP), imidacloprid (20% SL), thiamethoxam (18.6% SC), and thiamethoxam (40% WG)], and one organophosphate pesticide [chlorpyrifos (48% EC)] against P. hypostoma workers. The investigation was done under field conditions, using the palm fronds method. However, the reduction percentages in palm fronds was recorded as the height of the sandy clay formed by termite workers on palm frond surfaces, when the fronds had been treated with a different concentration of each pesticide. The results were recorded after 15, 30, 45, and 60 days. Chlorpyrifos (48% EC) was considered the most potent pesticide among all the pesticides tested, but acetamiprid (20% SP) was considered the most toxic among the neonicotinoid pesticides tested. Moreover, the formulation of thiamethoxam (18.6% SC) was more powerful than thaimethoxam (40% WG). Furthermore, the reduction percentages on palm fronds increased significantly with an increase of the exposure period (from 15 to 60 days), as a result of the surface foraging activity of the sand termite workers. These results are given as unique and encouraging trends in controlling sand termites in Egypt.

Opis:
Genus Perkinsus Levine, 1978 (Alveolata, Perkinsidae) an intracellular pathogenic parasite is described from the mantle and gill filaments of a commercially important clam, Meretrix meretrix, collected from the Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia. This genus contains currently seven named species: P. marinus, P. olseni (P. atlanticus), P. chesapeaki (P. andrewsi), P. mediterraneus, P. honshuensis, P. beihaiensis and P. qugwadi. Meanwhile, some unnamed Perkinsus sp. have been described in wide variety of mollusc species. Ultrastructural features of Perkinsus sp. trophozites and the host reaction are described. The different developmental stages of trophozoites appeared as single or grouped cells surrounded by amorphous material that constituted cysts or nodules randomly distributed throughout the connective tissue of the mantle. The early trophozoites were generally spherical to ellipsoidal with a circular nucleus containing a prominent central nucleolus. The cytoplasm had several small vacuoles which coalesce to form a great vacuole in the later trophozoites and the nucleus becomes eccentric. Some lomosomes were observed between the wall and the plasmalemma of trophozoites. A large number of degraded and pyknotic cell and several cellular structure with lysed aspects were encountered in the surrounding area near the cysts. Ultrastructural data showed that the lysed granular cells and the coalescence of the granules result in the cyst that encapsulates various trophozoites. In the current study, we describe for the first time the presence of Perkinsus sp. as well as the host reaction in clams from the Saudi Arabian coasts.

Opis:
This work focused on how self-compacting concrete (SCC) performs in situ in hot weather conditions at an ambient temperature of about 35°C. Tests for the rheological properties and compressive and splitting tensile strength aspects were carried out. The results of SCC mix ingredients on the rheological and hardened features of SCC mix were studied. Variations in the amount of portland cement content (CC), water to cement ratio (w/c), coarse to fine aggregate ratio (C : F), chemical admixture ratio, and pozzolanic admixture ratio were considered. Optimum values were obtained for these ingredients, which satisfied the SCC rheological characteristics and gave a 28-day compressive strength of 42 MPa, and 52 MPa after 28 days and 56 days, respectively. These optimum constituent values were 450 kg·m–3 of cement, 0.45 water cementitious ratio, and a coarse to fine material ratio of 1 : 0.8, a high range superplasticizer of 2%, and a mineral admixture of either 5% silica fume or 25% fly ash as a substitute for a similar amount cement.
