EFFECT OF STOCKING DENSITY ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF RED TILAPIA IN ZEOLITE SUPPLEMENTED CLOSED SYSTEM

Food demand is expected to surge due to the increase of world population. Malaysia is one of the top fish consumption countries in Asia, but the reduction of capture fishery has led to the increase for aquaculture for tilapia to overcome the demand. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare the growth performance of red tilapia at different stocking densities of zeolite supplemented closed system. Red tilapia fry was stocked into aquarium. Five treatments (containing zeolite and without zeolite) with two replicates were used. Food was given twice a day with 2% of total biomass of the fish. Weight and length of red tilapia were measured every two weeks. The zeolite treatments which recorded the highest final mean weight was T1 with the lowest stocking density (5 fish) while in T5 (highest stocking density), lowest mean weight was recorded. Specific growth rate and length gain in T1 was significantly higher than other treatments. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in growth parameters between the treatments with and without zeolite. The results revealed that red tilapia stocked in the T1 of the lowest stocking density (5 fish) had the highest growth performance than the fish in other treatments. Compared to other treatments, T1 recorded the highest final length and weight, weight and length gain, Specific Growth Rate % (SGR) among the treatments. The findings will be useful for the practitioners to understand the best practice for stocking density in zeolite supplemented closed system.
The Effect of Fraud Pentagon and F-Score Model in Detecting Fraudulent Financial Reporting in Indonesia

This study analyzes the effect of fraud pentagon and the efficacy of the F-score model in detecting fraudulent financial reporting in Indonesia. The sample used is the company’s annual report subject to Financial Service Authority (OJK) sanctions and a twofold comparative annual study from companies not subject to sanctions in the same reporting year and industry type. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method. The data was analyzed using the logistic regression analysis. The test results prove that pressure, opportunity, and rationalization in the fraud pentagon can be used to detect bogus financial reporting. The results reveal that the F-score model is unsuitable for hypothesis testing; consequently, some variables should be eliminated. Therefore, the F-score model has limited usefulness in detecting counterfeit financial reporting in Indonesia. Keywords: F-Score, accounting fraud, fraud detection, fraud pentagon, fraudulent financial reporting
Effects of Probiotic and Organic Manures for Soil Amendments On Seedling Survivability and Leaf Chlorophyll for Crop Improvement In Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)

Under this study a total of nine treatments were considered for soil amendments where organic manures, chemical fertilizer and probiotics were used to evaluate the efficiency on growth and yield of wheat. On the basis of seedling disease incidence and chlorophyll presence parameters data were recorded on seedling infection at 14 days, seedling blight at 21 days, and chlorophyll content at 70 days after sowing. In this study the same experiments were conducted up to three years (2016-2019) and data were compiled and analyzed. It was observed that the disease prevalence attributes significantly decreased in T5 (Trichoderma harzianum + vermicompost + green manuring) than other treatment combinations and control (T0). Noteworthy results were found on seedling health, application of probiotic and organic manures which significantly influenced the less infection of wheat. Besides this, chlorophyll content of wheat leaf and plant number with effective tiller enhanced largely under T8 (chemical fertilizer) than T4 (poultry manure + vermicompost + green manuring) and control (T0). The main advantage of this research is to evaluate efficiency for growing healthy wheat plant which reflects on plant growth and yield and ultimately helps for food security. J.

Deep Cross of Intra and Inter Modalities for Visual Question Answering

Visual Question Answering (VQA) has recently attained interest in the deep learning community. The main challenge that exists in VQA is to understand the sense of each modality and how to fuse these features. In this paper, DXMN (Deep Cross Modality Network) is introduced which takes into consideration not only the inter-modality fusion but also the intra-modality fusion. The main idea behind this architecture is to take the positioning of each feature into account and then recognize the relationship between multi-modal features as well as establishing a relationship among themselves in order to learn them in a better way. The architecture is pretrained on question answering datasets like, VQA v2.0, GQA, and Visual Genome which is later fine-tuned to achieve state-of-the-art performance. DXMN achieves an accuracy of 68.65 in test-standard and 68.43 in test-dev of VQA v2.0 dataset.
CONSUMPTİON, CONSUMER BEHAVİOR AND NEW HABİTS ACQUİRED BY CONSUMERS AS A RESULT OF COVID-19 MEASURES

The aim of this article is to address the changes in consumer behavior due to the political, legal and economic factors caused by the COVID-19 process by reviewing the literature. It was not expected that this epidemic, which first appeared in Wuhan, China, would make such radical changes in the world's living conditions and bring heavy consequences. For this reason, it has been started to investigate what kind of changes this epidemic will create in consumer behavior and whether these changes will be permanent. Consumer behavior knowledge is an important factor in the success of businesses. Knowing how the consumer behaves and what factors affect him enables businesses to manage their marketing mix, branding and communication with customers more effectively. Consumer buying behavior shows a complex trend and can change. The current financial downturn has a huge impact on the economic and social aspects of consumers around the world. Therefore, by emphasizing the fundamental changes in consumer purchasing behavior, this article provides some important information for the immediate decision-making and management of businesses in times of crisis and the transformation of consumers in the face of the epidemic.
Financial leverage and performance of SMEs in Vietnam: Evidence from the post-crisis period

This study examines the link between capital structure and firm performance (measured by ROA and ROE), focusing on a large sample of SMEs in Vietnam during the postcrisis period (2008-2016). Empirical results from various panel data models confirm the nonlinear relationship between debt financing and firm profitability. This relationship takes the form of an inverted-U shape. Firm profitability only increases to a certain level of leverage. When the debt ratio becomes too high, firm performance starts to decrease. These results highlight the role of financial distress costs in debt financing for SMEs. Furthermore, the paper also confirms the heterogeneity between state-owned firms and private ones. Policy implications are also discussed.
PHYTOEXTRACTION OF CADMIUM AND LEAD FROM A CONTAMINATED SOIL USING EUCALYPTUS SEEDLINGS

This study aims to estimate critical concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in the soil which negatively affect growth of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. seedlings, and to estimate some phytoextraction parameters for heavy metals (HM) from the soil to evaluate efficiency of seedlings in their potential use in phytotechnology to improve the environment with phytoremediation. Eucalyptus seedlings were treated with Cd concentrations 0, 25, 55, 85, and 110 mg kg-1 dry soil as CdCl2, and Pb concentrations 0, 125, 250, 450, and 550 mg kg-1 dry soil as PbCl2, and the experiment was designed using the completely randomized design (CRD) as a two-factor factorial experiments and the data were analyzed using SAS system. Results showed that the highest percentage decrease in dry weight of stems, leaves and roots were 55, 68.6, and 67.2%, respectively, at the interaction (110 Cd and 550 Pb) mg kg-1 dry soil compared with control, and Cd concentrations in stems, leaves and roots ranged between (0.375-372.167), (0.417-128.167) and (0.583-162.083) mg kg-1, respectively and Pb concentrations in stems, leaves and roots ranged between (9.583-62.375), (10.042-20.417) and (2.875-73.500) mg kg-1. It was found that values ​​of translocation factor (TF), biological accumulation coefficient (BAC), bioconcentration factor (BCF) and concentration index (CI) for Cd ranged between (0.611-4.239), (1.333-28.790), (0.383- 16.840) and (1-490.812) respectively, and values ​​of TF, BAC, BCF, and CI of Pb ranged between (0.275-5.702), (0.769-4.246), (0.295-7.539) and (1-3.833) respectively, and tolerance index (TI) values ​​ranged between (0.370-1). We concluded that Eucalyptus seedlings are suitable for phytoextraction applications within phytoremediation processes of soils contaminated with Cd and Pb.
IRREDUCIBLE COMPONENTS OF AFFINE DELIGNE–LUSZTIG VARIETIES

Affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties (ADLV’s) were introduced by M. Rapoport in [Rap05], motivated by the study of reductions of Shimura varieties. Fix a local field F , with completed maximal unramified extension F̆ . Let k be the residue field of F̆ , which is algebraically closed. In this report we only discuss ADLV’s at hyperspecial level. Thus an ADLV is a geometric object Xμ(b) attached to a triple (G, b, μ), where G is a (connected) reductive group scheme over OF , b is an element of G(F̆ ), and μ is a cocharacter of GF up to conjugacy. At the level of kpoints, Xμ(b)(k) consists of g ∈ G(F̆ )/G(OF̆ ) such that the G(OF̆ )-double coset of g−1bσ(g) corresponds to the conjugacy class of μ under the Cartan decomposition of G(F̆ ). Here σ is the absolute arithmetic Frobenius in Aut(F̆ /F ). An important fact is that Xμ(b) has the geometric structure of a k-scheme locally of finite type (resp. a perfect k-scheme locally of perfectly finite type) if F has equal (resp. mixed) characteristic. The geometric structure comes from the geometric structure of the affine Grassmannian and the Witt vector affine Grassmannian (constructed by X. Zhu [Zhu17] and Bhatt–Scholze [BS17]) in the two cases. In the mixed characteristic setting, the geometry of ADLV’s is closed related to Shimura varieties via the Rapoport–Zink uniformization (cf. [RZ96, HP17, Kim18]). For instance, information about connected components of ADLV’s has played an important role in the version of Langlands–Rapoport Conjecture proved in [Kis17] and the subsequent strengthening in [KSZ]. 1 In this report we present results on the set Σ(Xμ(b)) of top-dimensional irreducible components of Xμ(b). (It is conjectured [Rap05, Conj. 5.10] that Xμ(b) is equidimensional, cf. [HV18, §3]. ) The motivation for studying this set comes from the relation with certain cycles in the basic locus of the special fiber of Shimura varieties, see for instance [XZ17]. The scheme Xμ(b) is equipped with an action of Jb(F ), the F -rational points of the Frobenius-centralizer Jb of b. This induces an action of Jb(F ) on Σ(Xμ(b)). We are interested in the following two questions. (i) Classify the Jb(F )-orbits in Σ(Xμ(b)). (ii) For each Z ∈ Σ(Xμ(b)), determine the stabilizer of Z in Jb(F ). For question (i), M. Chen and X. Zhu conjectured a natural bijection between Jb(F )\Σ(Xμ(b)) and the Mirkovic–Vilonen basis MVμ(λb) for the λb-weight space of the representation of the dual group Ĝ corresponding to μ. Here λb is a character on a subtorus of Ĝ (which is a maximal torus if GF is split over F ) defined in terms of the two discrete invariants (a la Kottwitz) of the σ-conjugacy class
Volunteering and Citizenship: Empirical Evidences of the Positive Impact in Brazil Voluntariado e Cidadania: Evidências Empíricas de Impacto Positivo no Brasil

As an expanding social phenomenon, volunteering has been recognized for its potential for developing citizenship by providing opportunities for participation and social innovation, supporting public and private actions aimed at collective well-being. This study aims to analyze the relationship between volunteering and citizenship through motivations, as they help to understand what drives human behavior toward a direction. Through quantitative research, descriptive statistical techniques were used to differentiate citizen attitudes from volunteers and non-volunteers, as well as structural equation modeling to relate research constructs. The results indicate an overlap of citizen attitudes of volunteers over non-volunteers, as well as a positive relationship between the motivation model and attitudes towards social, political and civil rights, contributing to the understanding of these fundamental constructs for the Third Sector.
Macroeconomic and Public Health Policies amid COVID-19 Pandemic: Global Financial Sectors' Responses

Given the unprecedentedness and scale of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact and effectiveness of fiscal, monetary, and public health policies in response to the pandemic are largely unknown. This paper aims at presenting empirical evidence on the response of the financial sector to fiscal, monetary, and public health policies implemented during the pandemic. Using random effect estimation with data from 40 economies, we find that the financial sector does not respond significantly to fiscal stimulus, the monetary policy relaxation during the pandemic also has less magnitude of impact, stricter physical containment measures are also found to be positively and significantly affect financial sector performance.
Comparison between PAA/UV and H2O2/UV disinfection for wastewater reuse

The effect of peracetic acid (PAA) on indicator bacteria in secondary sewage effluent has shown PAA to be a viable alternative to other biocides. The synergy between UV/PAA and UV/H 2 O 2 in laboratory experiments and at a pilot plant fed by the secondary effluent of two civil wastewater treatment plant has been investigated. This experiment is part of a larger research project on advanced treatment for municipal wastewater reuse in agriculture. A very high level of disinfection is necessary because of Italy9s strict limits on unrestricted wastewater reuse in agriculture (2 CFU Total Coliform/100 ml). We found out that a combined treatment is satisfactory and that it is more efficient when chemical products such as PAA or H 2 O 2 are introduced before UV irradiation, taking advantage of the hydroxyl radicals formation due to photolysis. At a cost parity PAA/UV advanced oxidation process shows the same disinfectant action as H 2 O 2 /UV while at a dose (amount) and cost parity, PAA shows a significantly better disinfectant action than H 2 O 2 .

Study to establish genetic association of cardiac conduction defect in Indian patients undergoing pacemaker implantation

Background: The aim was to study the genetic association of cardiac conduction defects (CCDs) by evaluating single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in genes of SCN1B and KCNJ2 and to evaluate baseline characteristics between cases and controls.Methods: Case group consisted of 81 individuals with diagnosis of conduction disturbances who underwent permanent pacemaker implantation. The control group consisted of 79 unrelated individuals above 18 years of age of the local population not having a present or past personal or family history (first degree relatives) of any cardiac ailment especially CCDs. Isolation of genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from all samples was done, genomic DNA was checked to ensure the presence of intact DNA.Results: SCN1B: SNP rs55742440 had no bearing on the protein except in producing a splice variant. SNP rs67701503 does not lie in the splice-site region, thus not having any significance in the regulation of the gene as well. NetGene2 analysis of SNP rs67486287 negates its presence in the splice site. KCNJ2:SNP rs199473653 leads to a missense amino acid change, resulting in homozygous GG variant found in almost equal frequency in both groups. SNP rs199473653 gene has not been reported as a disease causing mutation.Conclusions: The alteration of nucleotide in SCN1B intron (SNP rs55742440, rs67701503, rs67486287) between cases and controls was found to have no odds of affecting the outcome of CCD. There was no variation or alteration in nucleotide bases of KCNJ2 (SNP rs786205813, rs199473653) between the groups.
Public Debt and Economic Growth in Switzerland

Economic theory suggests that a realistic level of borrowing is beneficial for both developing and developed economies in achieving sustainable level of economic growth. However, as a result of insufficient domestic resources to fund the “development projects”, required for the economic progress, most of the countries strongly rely on internal (domestic) and external (international) capitals such as public debt, foreign direct investment (FDI) and remittances. Keeping in mind this significance, this study analyzes the role of public debt, FDI and remittances in accelerating the economic growth in Switzerland. For getting this purpose achieved, the study gathers the data from world development indicators (WDI) for the period of 1997-2016. The study uses public debt, FDI and remittances as predictors, while economic growth is taken as outcome variable. The study applies auto regressive distributive lag (ARDL) model to analyze the data. Results of the study show positive influence of public debt, FDI and remittances on the economic growth of Switzerland which is in line with the economic theory. Based on the findings, the study suggests articulating and implementing policies aimed at attracting more inflows of foreign capital that will positively contribute to economic growth in the long run. The study furthers the government of Switzerland to keep debts to the GDP threshold as low as possible.
Prospects and Challenges Faced by Secondary Teachers while Integrating ICT in Nepalese ESL Classrooms

Teaching and learning in the 21st century has been embedded with technology. Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a crucial role in ameliorating knowledge acquisition in general and enhancing English Language mastering in particular. The government of Nepal has made provision of integrating ICTs in school education to enhance quality education and make both teachers and learners confident and competitive in the present global world. The teachers are the real implementers of the policy into practice. In this context, this research intends to investigate secondary level English teachers’ skill and motivation in using ICTs while teaching the English language. This is a qualitative study that uses a phenomenological approach to obtain information according to Denzin (2019) in which the participants in the study included eight schools and 16 teachers at different schools in Nepal. They were selected purposefully since selecting the best participant ensures the intended information (Creswell & Creswell, 2017). The telephonic interview was conducted and open-ended questions were administered electronically and all necessary directions were provided to them so that they could respond to those questions. The findings imply that teachers should be given opportunities for training on ICT use for building up their skill, motivation, knowledge and confidence.
1683 Snow Sports to meet One_s Need for Self-Actualization.docx

The present qualitative, phenomenological study investigated why persons with disabilities turn to specifically snow sports and the role that snow sports play in achieving self-actualization. A content analysis was performed on every available online Team USA Paralympic athlete biography (N = 69) gathering data on general information, prior involvement in sports, type/classification of impairment, year of injury, and rationale for choosing snow sports. Adaptive snow sport organizations across the United States of America were contacted (N = 30) and athletes of these organizations were surveyed regarding the impact that snow sports had on their psychological difficulties. Two narrative interviews were held with the survey questions to triangulate and to gain real life accounts in a more personal manner. Through researching the question “What role does self-actualization play in the motivation of the persons with physical disability in participating in snow sports? ”, it is still fair to say persons with physical disabilities view snow sports as a means of asserting competence and to focus on one’s own ability rather than their disability. Snow sports are, therefore, a viable source of psychological rehabilitation for persons with physical disabilities, like popular sport alternatives such as wheelchair basketball. More research is needed to better observe a cause-and-effect relationship between psychological state of mind and participating in snow sports.
TYPES OF AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR AMONG LEARNERS WITH MODERATE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY IN NIGERIA AS PERCEIVED BY TEACHERS

This study examined aggressive behavior (verbal aggression, physical assault, socially unacceptable and destructive behavior) among learners with moderate intellectual disability in south-western Nigeria, through teachers’ perceptions. The study used a descriptive survey design. Convenient sampling technique was used to select respondents (87 teachers of pupils with intellectual ability in private and public schools in south West Nigeria). The aggressive behavior scale (ABS) was used to elicit responses. Data retrieved was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that teachers’ perception of the developmental trend of aggressive behavior among learners with moderate intellectual disability was significant (T = 44.385, Mean Difference = 3.115 while p < .05). Also, there was no significant gender difference in verbal aggressive (F=0.997, p>.05), physical aggressive (F=3.628, p>.05), socially unacceptable aggressive (F=1.233, p>.05), and destructive behavior (F=0.571, p>.05). Interventions should be in line with these.
