Soil Contamination from Cassava Wastewater Discharges in a Rural Community in the Niger Delta, Nigeria by Q-AL Izonfuo, PA Bariweni, DMC George

“…Correlation analysis shows that soil pH influenced CN- (r = 0.18); K (r = 0.17); Ca (r = 0.97); Mg (r = 0.13); Na (r = 0.03); P (r = 0.08); N (r = 0.40); Organic Carbon (r = 0.08) and organic matter (r = 0.06). The cyanide levels in the soils were found to be higher than the recommended limits for agriculture and other purposes. …”

Ecological-trophic structure of soil microbial communities in the the middle Ob floodplain by Ellina G. Nikitkina, Inna V. Lushchaeva, Victor A. Nikitkin, Sergey N. Kirpotin, Larisa G. Kolesnichenko

“…The ecological and trophic structure of soil microbial communities was investigated to identify the leading physiological groups of heterotrophic bacteria involved in biogeochemical transformation of organic matter in soil. The relationship of bacteria of different physiological groups with seasonal variations and physical and chemical properties of soils, and the links between bacteria were identified and evaluated. …”

COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS by Gasangusein I. Ibragimov, Elena M. Ibragimova

“…The article based on the analysis of scientific publications identifies three approaches to understand the structure of competence as a matter of assessment. The authors reveal the main problems faced by university teachers in the evaluation of competencies (substitution of the subject assessment, identification of correspondence between specific topics of discipline and competence components; harmonization of teachers of different disciplines in the process of formation and evaluation of competences and others). …”

Clinical Risk Score for Predicting Vascular Dementia after Ischemic Stroke in Thailand by Pornpatr A. Dharmasaroja, Thammanard Charernboon

“…Five predictors were used in the risk score: age, education, history of stroke, white matter hyperintensities, and stroke subtype. The risk score had an area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AuROC) of 0.76, 72.9% sensitivity, and 79.1% specificity in predicting risk of vascular dementia. …”

Exploring primordial black holes and gravitational waves with R-symmetric GUT Higgs inflation by Nadir Ijaz, Mansoor Ur Rehman

“…The predicted stochastic gravitational wave background falls within the sensitivity range of existing and upcoming gravitational wave detectors, while primordial black holes hold the potential to explain the abundance of dark matter. Furthermore, we highlight the significance of the leading-order nonrenormalizable term in the superpotential of achieving inflationary observables consistent with the latest experimental data. …”

On the Formation of Environmental Normative Criteria: Bioethics as a Dead End by Eva Smolková

“…The relationship with the environment has turned into the relationship of a citizen to his or her country, and with the principles and standards taking the form of legal regulations, the issue quickly became a matter of abiding by the law. Whilst discussion on how the normative criteria are set continued, its focus shifted to the questions of how and why they should be gradually made stricter, factoring in the economic interests of enterprises, and the time needed for setting up the processes, and developing new technologies. …”

The Persistence of Buildings and the Context Problem by Fabio Bacchini

“…I argue that, since architectural plans are not capable of specifying all the constitutive properties of a building, the source of differentiation among constitutive and non-constitutive properties for buildings lies in a property’s being eligible or not eligible to be aesthetically relevant in the aesthetic judgements about them. As a matter of fact, our aesthetic judgements about buildings often concern, and are grounded on, extrinsic contextual properties. …”

Epidemic threshold conditions for seasonally forced SEIR models by Junling Ma, Zhien Ma

“…We find that for models without recruitment of susceptible individuals (via births or loss of immunity), max$_t{\mathcal{R}_0(t)} < 1$ is required to prevent outbreaks no matter when and how the disease is introduced. For models with recruitment, if the latent period can be neglected, the disease goes extinct if and only if the basic reproduction number $\bar{\mathcal{R}}$ of the time-average systems (the autonomous systems obtained by replacing the time-varying parameters with their long-term time averages) is less than 1. …”

Finite cut-off JT and Liouville quantum gravities on the disk at one loop by Soumyadeep Chaudhuri, Frank Ferrari

“…Abstract Within the path integral formalism, we compute the disk partition functions of two dimensional Liouville and JT quantum gravity theories coupled to a matter CFT of central charge c, with cosmological constant Λ, in the limit c → −∞, |Λ| → ∞, for fixed Λ/c and fixed and finite disk boundary length ℓ, to leading and first subleading order in the 1/|c| expansion. …”
