Bycatch in Indian trawl fisheries and some suggestions for trawl bycatch mitigation

Globally, trawl is the major fishing gear used in marine fisheries and in India, it contributes to more than one-third of the marine fish production. Trawl fishing has been critically evaluated from a sustainability perspective, especially analysing its bycatch composition. Most of the bycatch from trawlers contains valuable edible species with high market demand. However, a portion of the bycatch which does not have such demand in the edible fish market, known as low-value bycatch (LVB), continues to be a matter of concern from an ecological and economic perspective. During 2017–19, 30–60% of trawl landing in India was constituted by LVB
Newly Developed Biocarbon to Increase Conductivity in Sustainable Polyamide 12 Composites

Sustainable manufacture caused shift in automotive manufacturing practices. Polymer-based composites make up almost 15% mass of the entire vehicle, most importantly the fuel system of the vehicle. Poor electrical conductivity of the polymer composites leads to electrostatic deposition which can lead to further issues. Carbon based synthetic fillers like carbon fiber and carbon nanotubes are attractive options to develop electrically conductive composites, owing to their excellent electrical and mechanical properties. However, the production process of these reinforcements is highly time and energy intensive making it quite expensive and not quite sustainable. Lignocellulosic feedstock can be carbonized at a high treatment temperature of ≥ 1000°C to produce electrically conductive biocarbon filler. In this study biocarbon fibers developed using Douglas fir pulp, were incorporated into polyamide 12 matrix to develop composites. The composites were fabricated using hot compression mounting. At a filler loading of 7.5 wt. % the composites reported resistivity of 7.13 x 10 3 Ω cm and at 35 wt. % filler loading rate the composite resistivity was 2.13 Ω cm. The transverse volume resistivity value of resistivity of 5.04 x 10 8 Ω cm for polyamide 6 composites filled with 20 wt. % carbon fiber and longitudinal volume resistivity of 10.08 Ω cm were reported in literature reviewed. The resistivity values for both 20 wt. % and 40wt. % carbon fibers is significantly higher compared to biochar filled composites at 25 wt. % and 35 wt. % biochar filler loading. This indicates the effectiveness of biochar filler as a conductive filler, in
LGBTQ Cyberbullying on Online Learning Platforms Among University Students

Cyberbullying is a type of cybercrime that has become a new phenomenon, rapidly increasing on the cyberspace, as it utilizes the Internet technology to harass people, especially among teenagers and youth on online learning platforms. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing LGBTQ cyberbullying on online learning platforms among university students in Thailand. A quantitative research design was used to collect data from 400 university students in Thailand through questionnaires. The data were analyzed through a structural equation model. The results found that most Thai students had a low level of cyberbullying behavior, as they respected each other, especially LGBTQ students. Moreover, there were three major factors comprising demographics, the situation, and online learning platform behavior that had a significant direct effect on the outcome of LGBTQ cyberbullying victims. The demographic factors (gender, motivation, psychology, and technology using behavior) had a direct effect on the situation factors (perceived support, parental involvement, and university climate and environment), and a direct effect on online learning platform factors (teachers, classmates, dialog of online learning, group work, and relationship between classmates and the teacher). Moreover, the LGBTQ online learning platform factor had a direct effect on the outcome of cyberbullying (social equality, mindset, intellect, physical, and society). The relative Chi-square ( χ 2 / df) of 1.194 indicated that the model was suitable. The comparative fit index (CFI) was 0.991, the goodness of fit index (GFI) was 0.971, and the model based on the research hypothesis was consistent
Designer Ge quantum dots on Si: A heterostructure configuration with enhanced optoelectronic performance

An otherwise random, self-assembly of Ge quantum dots (QDs) on Si has been controlled by nano-patterning and oxidation to produce QDs with desired sizes, locations, and depths of penetration into the Si substrate. A heterostructure consisting of a thin amorphous interfacial oxide between the Ge QD and the Si substrate is shown to improve crystalline quality by de-coupling the lattice-matching constraint. A low dark current density of 1.1 μA/cm2 and a high photocurrent enhancement up to 35 000 and 1500, respectively, for 1.5 mW incident illumination at 850 nm and 1160 nm was measured on our Ge QD-based metal-oxide-semiconductor photodiodes.
Why should we teach machines to read charts made for humans?

Recent advances in Machine Learning (ML) have enabled the creation of models that can read, parse, and to a certain extent, reason about data visualization charts. These models cannot reach human performance yet, but given the fast progress of the field, they might reach superhuman performance in the near future. We, as HCI researchers who use visualization as a primary way to support human-data interaction, think it is valuable to pose the question: “Does it make sense to make machines read charts made for humans? ”. In this paper, we portray possible cases where enabling ML models to read visualizations could be beneficial to the community. In particular, we describe three use cases that show how such a model can potentially speed up the visualization design process, and even allow us to come up with novel visualization designs. We also describe possible research directions that can engender fruitful outcomes in the future.

Effects of localized electron heating and current drive on the sawtooth period

Localized electron heating and current drive, like those produced by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) systems, are powerful tools for controlling the sawtooth period. They allow the direct modification of the plasma parameters which determine the sawtooth stability. In this paper we report a set of new experimental results obtained in the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) and a set of related simulations obtained applying a sawtooth period model in a transport code. The TCV device, equipped with a very flexible and powerful ECH system, is specifically suited for this kind of study. In previous works, the experimental behaviour observed in TCV and JET was found consistent with a sawtooth period model first proposed to predict the sawtooth period in burning plasmas. In this paper, new experimental results have motivated a set of simulations which allow the identification of the effects of localized heating and current drive separately. In particular, two heating locations exist at opposite sides of the q = 1 surface which allow most efficiently sawtooth stabilization and destabilization. Moreover, the modelling shows that counter- and co-current drive alone, without the presence of heating, have opposite effects on the sawtooth period at symmetrical locations as compared with the position of the q = 1 surface. The main features of the experimental behaviour can be explained as due to the modification of the local plasma parameters involved in the linear resistive stability threshold of the internal kink, in particular the dynamics of the magnetic shear at the q = 1 surface. However it is shown that the most effective locations to modify the sawtooth period are not exactly at q = 1.

Pyrolysis and Bio­Oil

The proposed U.S. renewable fuels standards require increasing the domestic supply of alternative fuels to 36 billion gallons by 2022. Out of this, 21 billion gallons must come from advanced bio-fuels, i.e., ethanol and/or hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellu-losic biomass (conversion of non-grain resources such as agricultural residues, energy crops, etc.). One conversion technology with the right footprint that fits the farm setting and that can have an immediate impact on the farmers’ bottom line is “pyrolysis. ” It is the heating of biomass in the absence of oxygen to produce bio-oil and charcoal (biochar) that can be returned to the soil to build it up so food, fiber and bioenergy can be sustainably and simultane-ously produced. Herein, we provide some basic facts about pyrolysis and bio-oil production technologies to the non-engineer.
PREFERENCES OF SERBIAN CONSUMERS TOWARDS DIFFERENT PEPPER FRUITS

: Pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the major vegetable species in the world. In Balkan cuisines, as well as in Serbia, pepper has a very diverse use. Knowledge about consumer preferences is of great importance for a breeding process as well as in the market-orientated production. Because of the lack of information about consumer preferences towards pepper types, in the Serbian market, the present research was conducted. Four hundred and two participants, classified into groups, according to gender, age and education, answered the survey questions. According to this research, the most preferred pepper type in Serbia is kapia, while the bell pepper is the second chosen type. Also, it was revealed that the most favourite colour of pepper fruit is red. There is a tendency for higher importance of fruit type rather than fruit colour. The highest percentage of hot pepper consumers prefers medium hot peppers. The obtained trend shows that women generally prefer less spicy pepper fruits than men.

A field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Research Farm, JNKVV Jabalpur (M.P.) to assess the growth and biomass productivity of maize cultivar under maize based cropping systems. The growth parameters viz . plant height and dry weight/plant were recorded significantly higher under maize (composite) - chickpea followed by maize (composite) - field pea and maize (composite) - berseem treatment while, leaves/plant was noted significantly more under maize (hybrid) in maize (hybrid)-chickpea and maize (hybrid) - field pea during two years. The maize (hybrid) fb chickpea treatment recorded significantly higher grain yield followed by Maize (hybrid) – field pea and maize (hybrid) - berseem during two years. The significantly higher biomass productivity was recorded under maize (hybrid) fb chickpea followed by maize (hybrid)-field pea and maize (hybrid) - berseem during both the years.
THE LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN THE EAST COAST OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA

Women and business are a unique phenomenon that can only be observed in the East Coast state of Peninsular Malaysia. The involvement of women entrepreneurs in the batik and songket-based textile industry in the East Coast outweighs the involvement of male entrepreneurs. It is interesting to highlight that only women entrepreneur in Kelantan and Terengganu engaged more actively in market activities than women entrepreneurs in other states. Women entrepreneurs in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia share the same entrepreneurial culture where entrepreneurship activities in two states in the East Coast have been held for a long time. This article aims to analyze the level of involvement of women entrepreneurs in the textile industry on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Quantitative design methods based on descriptive analysis and structured interviews were used in this study conducted on 102 respondents in the states of Kelantan and Terengganu in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Data obtained from structured interviews were analyzed descriptively and multiple regression analysis. The results show that the level of women’s involvement in the textile industry is at a high level. Five factors influence the involvement of women entrepreneurs in this study to venture into the textile industry, namely total of income, increased income, self-motivation, self-satisfaction, and social motives. This study suggests that the high profits that female entrepreneurs can generate will encourage other women to participate in this business.
Evidence for a Peierls transition in the blue bronzes K0.30MoO 3 and Rb0.30MoO3

X-ray diffuse scattering studies of the quasi one-dimensional blue bronzes K 0.30 MoO 3 and Rb 0.30 MoO 3 show that the metal insulator phase transition observed at T c =180 K is accompanied by a periodic lattice distortion. Analysis of the diffuse scattering observed well above T c shows that the lattice instability involves mainly MoO 6 octahedra. The anisotropy of the electrical resistivity is consistent with a quasi one-dimensional conduction band built on hybridized molybdenum 4d and oxygen pπ orbitals. Together with the electrical properties, the structural results corroborate that the phase transition of the blue bronzes can be viewed as a Peierls distortion Etude par diffusion de rayons X, montrant que la transition metal-isolant observee a T c =180 K s'accompagne d'une distorsion periodique du reseau.

Workforce Anxiety Due to Covid-19 Pandemic: the Mediation Effect of Personal Finance among Private Labor Force in Kerala

The place of this research is also important as Kerala is a state with a strong public health care system and a sizeable number of workers from Kerala are employed in the private sector. [. ]the concern about health is high and the labour environment is unfavourable, the individual usually prefers to safeguard their health rather than going for monetary benefits. [. ]this study attempts to analyze the mediation effect of personal finance on workforce anxiety during COVTD-19 pandemic. Apprehension about family, fear of infection, lack of personal protective equipment and close contact with COVID-19 are the major cause of physical disorder among health care workers (De Kock et al., 2021).
Effects of Stewardship on Zakat Payers’ Trust in Kelantan: Does a Good Mix of Board Capital Increase Zakat Payers’ Trust Through Stakeholder Management?

- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, it is an urge to maximize the zakat collection to reduce citizens' burden who got laid off and lost income sources. Despite zakat 's obligation to every eligible Muslim, the zakat collection is still considered unsatisfactory due to the leakage in the zakat collection. The leakage happens when zakat payers prefer to pay directly to asnafs . One cause of the leakage is a lack of trust in the zakat institution. There is a lack of previous literature that reported on determinants of zakat payers’ trust. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to explore the relationships between board capital, stakeholder management, and zakat payers’ trust and the mediating effect of stakeholder management on the link between board capital and zakat payers’ trust. Four hypotheses were derived for this paper. 553 responses were collected from zakat payers in Kelantan. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS and revealed that board capital and stakeholder management positively affects zakat payers’ trust. Furthermore, board capital positively impacts stakeholder management, and the mediating effect of stakeholder management is confirmed. These findings imply that a
Thermalization time constrained by high- p ⊥ QGP tomography

We show that high- p ⊥ R AA and v 2 are way more sensitive to the QGP thermalization time, τ 0 , than the distributions of low- p ⊥ particles, and that the high- p ⊥ observables prefer relatively late thermalization at τ 0 ∼ 1 fm/ c . To calculate high- p ⊥ R AA and v 2 , we employ our newly developed DREENA-A formalism, which combines state-of-the-art dynamical energy loss model with 3+1-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. The model applies to both light and heavy ﬂavor, and we predict a larger sensitivity of heavy observables to the thermalization time. Elliptic ﬂow parameter v 2 is also more sensitive to τ 0 than R AA due to non-trivial diﬀerences in the evolution of in-plane and out-of-plane temperature proﬁles. This presents, to our knowledge, the ﬁrst example of applying QGP tomography to constrain bulk QGP observables with high- p ⊥ observables and related theory.
12 Mixtures of Legumes for Forage Production

In Europe, legumes are mostly grown as single species or in mixtures with cereals or grasses. As an alternative cropping strategy, mixtures of legumes for forage have been developed in Serbia. This novel approach can be applied in many other temperate regions of Europe. This chapter provides an overview of these cropping systems, their use and their development. Carefully designed mixtures of forage crop species offer advantages over the component species grown separately. These advantages include higher yield, enhanced weed control and reduced soil erosion. In addition, the use of legumes in forage mixtures has benefits for feed quality due to the high protein content of the legume. This chapter examines the use of annual legumes mixed with perennial legumes to boost first-year yields in particular. Our research has shown that an annual forage legume can provide a yield benefit when sown as the companion crop during the establishment phase of a perennial legume. This research also shows that including field pea as a companion crop significantly increased overall dry matter yields and reduced weeds in red clover stands. Similar research is in progress for the establishment of lucerne ( Medicago sativa L.) and sainfoin ( Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.). We also examined the intercropping of annual temperate legumes with each other for forage production, and found that all mixtures out-yielded their components grown as pure stands. The evidence in the literature that explains this is reviewed.
Fiber ICAN laser with exawatt-picosecond pulses for fusion without nuclear radiation problems

One of the numerous applications of the ICAN laser using the advantage of fiber optics with chirped pulse amplification (CPA), is the scheme of side-on initiation of a nuclear fusion flame in solid density fuel with laser pulses of shorter than picosecond (ps) duration and power in the petawatt (PW) and higher range. The ICAN Fiber optics has special advantages with the potential that >900 PW spherical laser pulses may ignite the proton reaction with 11 B (HB11) without the problem of dangerous radioactive radiation. Though secondary reactions can be estimated very roughly, the feasibility of a power station with the necessary energy gains can be concluded.
Limit Theory for VARs with Mixed Roots Near Unity

Limit theory is developed for nonstationary vector autoregression (VAR) with mixed roots in the vicinity of unity involving persistent and explosive components. Statistical tests for common roots are examined and model selection approaches for discriminating roots are explored. The results are useful in empirical testing for multiple manifestations of nonstationarity – in particular for distinguishing mildly explosive roots from roots that are local to unity and for testing commonality in persistence.
