Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate the bacterial community associated with biogas production from food waste and rumen content. Anaerobic mono-digestion and co-digestion were performed using mixture design within Design Expert, resulting in 100 experimental runs. Parameters such as food waste and rumen content, water content, temperature, pH, number of digester agitation per day and retention time were varied during the anaerobic digestion processes. Classical microbiological techniques were used to isolate and identify strict anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria from the food waste and rumen content before and after anaerobic digestion. Sixteen bacterial species belonging to 12 different generae were isolated and identified from the food waste, rumen content and composite digestates obtained from the 100 bio-digesters. These generae included Acetobacterium, Bacteroides, Clostridium, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Ruminococcus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Syntrophomonas and Syntrophobacter. With the exception of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas sp., all other bacterial species identified in the substrates were also found in samples of the composite digestates, suggesting that they may have played important roles in the anaerobic digestion process inside the 100 bio-digesters. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the microbial community structure and function during biogas production from food waste and rumen content. The results could contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable biogas production processes.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the travel behavior of visitors to the Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC) in Lagos, Nigeria. The study employed a survey research design, and data was collected from 200 visitors to the LCC using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire contained questions on the visitors' demographic information, travel characteristics, means of transportation, duration of stay, and money spent at the recreational center. The results showed that the majority of visitors to the LCC were young adults, with a mean age of 28 years. Visitors primarily traveled to the recreational site using private vehicles, with public service vehicles and motorcycles also being commonly used means of transportation. The study found that the average cost of travel to the LCC was N2,175.00, with visitors spending an average of N30,000.00 while at the recreational center. The study concluded that the LCC is a popular recreational site in Lagos, attracting visitors from different parts of the city. It recommended that the management of the LCC improve the facilities at the center to enhance visitors' experiences. The study also suggested that the Lagos State Government should invest in the development of other recreational centers across the city to reduce the pressure on the LCC and provide more options for residents and visitors to explore.

Abstract

A Cantor’s alloy with modified contents in manganese and chromium, elaborated by classical foundry, was enriched either in tantalum and carbon or in hafnium and carbon, to promote the formation of MC carbides to try improving the poor creep resistance of the original quinary alloy for possible use at 1000°C. Similarly to what was observed in recent investigations, metallography allowed checking that interdendritic/intergranular MC carbides were obtained here too. The two monocarbides–containing alloys were first subjected to differential thermal analysis to specify notably their melting start temperatures, to validate the chosen temperature for the creep tests. Three-point flexural creep tests were then performed at 1000°C, which indisputably demonstrated the outstanding strengthening effect of these MC carbides for the modified Cantor’s alloy.

Abstract

Waste management, an integral aspect of modern life, exerts a profound influence on both public health and the environment. While existing research explores the environmental impact of various waste management practices, there is a paucity of studies investigating the direct health effects on humans from these practices. This article aims to address this gap by examining the intricate interplay between specific waste management strategies, such as open burning or landfill leachate management, and their potential to cause respiratory illnesses, birth defects, or other health problems in urban areas. Drawing from existing knowledge and recent research, it underscores the imperative of adopting an integrated waste management approach that harmonizes environmental preservation and health considerations. Furthermore, the review spotlights emerging technologies and innovative methodologies that hold promise in mitigating potential health hazards associated with conventional waste management practices. It accentuates the intricate connection between waste management and human health, underscoring the need for holistic strategies that encompass both community welfare and environmental sustainability. This paper advocates for sustainable waste management approaches that not only alleviate health concerns but also promote resource recovery and community engagement. Policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders are encouraged to collaborate in the adoption of effective waste management methods that safeguard both the environment and human health. By recognizing the intrinsic link between environmental and health issues, a harmonized approach can be forged to address them.

Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate carbon stock, flux, and sequestration potential as well as the response of groundnut (yield) to different fortification approaches. A greenhouse experiment was conducted using four treatment combinations, fortified biochar with T. albuminosus (B + T), biochar (B), T. albuminosus, and control laid in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The result showed increased carbon sequestration, stock, and a subsequent decrease in carbon emission in treatment B + T relative to other treatments. Untreated samples recorded the lowest values with 3.69 g kg-1 sequestered carbon 24.97 kg ha- stock 4.92% carbon emission and a net flux of -20.70. The highest groundnut yield was also recorded in the B + T treatment with a value of 1131.10 kg ha-1. However, biochar treatment recorded the highest biomass and stover yield 5.62 t ha-1 and 3.82 t ha-1 respectively. In conclusion, the Fortification of biochar with T. albuminosus proved efficient in improving carbon sequestration, increasing carbon stock, and reducing emission as well as other nutrients in soils under cultivation. Also, using B + T as an amendment under optimal growth conditions is recommended for better groundnut production. The study's constraints lie in its execution within controlled greenhouse settings, potentially limiting its applicability to real-world field conditions. Thus, caution should be exercised when extending these findings to field applications, ensuring the validation of the approach's effectiveness.

Abstract

This research aims to formulate a strategy for sustainably empowering fishing communities. This research uses a qualitative approach, namely research that emphasizes more aspects of an in-depth understanding of a research object. This research was conducted on Makassar Island, Baubau City Indonesia, where most of the population has a livelihood as fishermen. This research uses informants from fishermen, community leaders, and local government officials. To obtain these informants, purposive techniques are used, where informants are selected based on their ability to provide in-depth information. This study used several data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews, documentation, and focused group discussion. Data analysis in this study uses SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The results of the study obtained several formulations of strategies for empowering fishing communities as follows: first, community-based empowerment of fishing communities; second, strengthening fishermen institutions; third, capital access development; fourth, mastery of fishing technology; and fifth, improve the technical capabilities of professional fisheries extension workers. This study recommends that the empowerment of fishing communities in Makassar Island should be directed at community-based empowerment. This approach sees that various social problems that exist in the fishing community are not only caused by problems that arise in the fishing community internally but also caused by various structural problems. This approach is also very aware of the importance of capacity building in fishing communities to increase the strength and independence of fishing communities.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the effects of information communication technology adoption on the innovativeness of medium and large-size manufacturing industries in Adama City, Ethiopia. The study employed a qualitative multiple-case study approach, interviewing top managers from five purposefully selected companies. Semi-structured interviews were used for in-depth discussions, and the data was analyzed using a cross-case analysis technique to identify common themes across all companies. The research findings revealed that information communication technology adoption supports the manufacturing industries by increasing production speed, enabling product promotion, performing online orders, and improving communication and organizational work structure. However, adoption is hindered by internal issues like unskilled workers, uncommitted managers, reluctant investors, financial limitations, and external challenges such as supply shortages, expensive equipment, poor education and policy systems, political instability, and lack of international payment options like PayPal and credit card bank services. Despite supporting innovation, information and communication technology used in manufacturing remains limited due to internal and external factors. The study recommends increased awareness training and government action on infrastructure, policy, and education to improve information and communication technology adoption.

Abstract

This research aims to determine barriers to the expansion of women-owned businesses in rural communities of South Africa. To collect data for the research, a quantitative research approach was adopted. The research focused on 250 female business owners in the northern KZN rural regions of Umzinyakude, Uthukela, and Ugu. According to the survey, the primary barriers to developing women-owned businesses in rural communities are financial restraints, an absence of formal education, and inadequate facilities. These hurdles, however, may be overcome by women businesses being entrepreneurs in rural South African communities. Eliminating these barriers might empower women entrepreneurs and drive growth in the economy in rural communities, lowering poverty and improving rural people's living conditions. In light of these findings, the research suggests a variety of measures, including different financing methods, focused training and schooling programs, and the development of infrastructure to help women-owned businesses flourish in rural communities. Further research should investigate more issues like cultural as well as social barriers, an absence of accessibility to marketplaces and information, and legal and regulatory obstacles that prevent women from starting business entities in rural communities.
