STANDARDIZATION OF MICRO-PROPAGATION TECHNIQUE FOR ANTHURIUM ANDRAEANUM IN ANDAMAN ISLAND

Anthuriumsare popular cut flowers with attractive spathecolours and highly popular as cut flower and potted plant in International markets. The humid tropical coastal climate of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is very congenial for growing anthurium. Availability of planting material is a major constraint for commercial cultivation of anthurium in the Island. Micro-propagation is the option for rapid multiplication of planting material with production of true to type, disease free quality planting material. The present study was therefore undertaken to standardize the micro-propagation of anthurium using MS media. Callus induction, shoot & root multiplication using leaf and apical shoot buds of Anthuriumandreanumas explants was achieved with modified MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l 2, 4-D and 1 mg/l BAP. Explants of youngleaves and apical shoot buds showed callus formation at 75 and 63 days respectively after inoculation and the callus formation percentage was maximum in apical shoot bud (48.42 %) whereas in leaves it was 35.25%. Maximum number of shoots and percentage of rooted shootsper explant observed in apical shoot buds 18.64 ± 1.89 and 95% respectively).
WHO EMRO | Acceptability of the human papilloma virus vaccine among Moroccan parents: a population-based cross-sectional study

Data about the public’s awareness and acceptability of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine are lacking in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. This study aimed to explore parental acceptability of HPV vaccination for their daughters in Morocco. A cross-sectional survey was carried out among mothers and fathers of girls aged 12–15 years at 12 middle schools from 6 regions of Morocco. Despite weak knowledge of genital warts and HPV infection, acceptability of the HPV vaccine was 76.8% (95% CI: 73.3–79.9%) among mothers and 68.9% (95% CI: 65.2–72.5%) among fathers. Only 8.8% of mothers and 7.0% of fathers were against administration of the HPV vaccine to their daughters. Predictors of parents’ acceptance of the HPV vaccine were living in precarious housing/slums and low household income (for mothers) and living in urban areas (for fathers). These results will be useful for preparing the introduction of the HPV vaccine in health ministry programmes.
A Categorical Notion of Precompact Expansions

We generalize the notion of relational precompact expansions of Fräıssé classes via functorial means, inspired by the technique outlined by Laflamme, Nguyen Van Thé and Sauer in their paper Partition properties of the dense local order and a colored version of Milliken’s theorem. We also generalize the expansion property and prove that categorical precompact expansions grant upper bounds for Ramsey degrees. Moreover, we show under strict conditions, we can also compute big Ramsey degrees. We also apply our methodology to calculate the big and little Ramsey degrees of the objects in Age(S(n)) for all n ≥ 2.
A spatial equilibrium analysis of using agricultural resources to produce biofuel

In order to alleviate the potential damage from climate change and fulfil the requirements contracted in the Paris Agreement (COP 24), China has promulgated the mandatory regulation on ethanol-blend gasoline to reduce current levels of CO2 emissions. Since large-scale bioenergy development involves various aspects such as feedstock selection (energy crops, crop wastes), technology alternatives (conventional and cellulosic ethanol, pyrolysis), government subsidy (land use, energy crop subsidy) and carbon trade mechanism, an analysis that integrates economic, environmental, and social effects is necessary to explore the optimal biofuel strategy and social effects. This study proposes a price endogenous, partial equilibrium mathematical programming model to investigate how the selection of bioenergy crops and bioenergy technologies influences the amount of net bioenergy production, carbon sequestration, government subsidies, and cultivation patterns. We show that the conjunctive use of agricultural wastes can be an effective addition to current biofuel production. The results also indicate that at high gasoline and emissions prices, more land used for the energy crop program results in a significant change in government expenditure. In addition, net emissions reduction and emissions offset efficiency can vary substantially when different bioenergy techniques are adopted.
3D Staged Tile Self-Assembly

In the staged self-assembly model, building blocks, called tiles, are added to bins in stages. This results in multiple subassemblies attaching to each other at each stage. Previous work by Demaine et al. show that any polyomino can be created within O (log 2 n ) stages. We improve this to O (log n ) stages and also show that for any three-dimensional monotone polycube there is a staged self-assembly system with O (log n ) stages, O (1) glue types and a scale factor of ﬁve constructing this shape.
Detection of Oil Production Abnormalities in a Cluster of Wells System Using Fuzzy Support Vector Machines

Efficient methods for detecting oil production abnormalities have been active research area in recent years. This paper presents an hybrid approach towards the detection of oil production abnormalities using Fuzzy Support Vector Machine (FuzzySVM). The main motivation of this study is the identification of wells having low production occasioned by formation damage resulting from either fluid invasion during the process of drilling or introduced by various mechanisms while producing. This hybrid FuzzySVM model preselects suspected wells to be inspected for selection for well stimulation based on abnormal production behavior. The proposed approach uses well production profile information and well tests results to expose abnormal behavior. The result of the abnormalities detection model yields classified classes that are used to shortlist potential formation damage suspects for possible well stimulation such as hydraulic fracturing or acidizing. Simulation results proved that the proposed method is more effective in detecting wells having abnormal low production.
The Effect of Weather Conditions on Millimeter Wave Propagation

Electromagnetic wave propagation in the atmosphere is affected by the composition of the air and by meteorological conditions like fog and rain. In the current work the effects of different phases of water in the atmosphere (vapor, suspended droplets, fog and rain) on the propagation of electromagnetic radiation at broadband millimeter wave spectrum, have been studied. Analytical expressions are derived for the attenuation and group delay along the path of propagation. Using the derived expressions a modified millimeter-wave propagation model (MPM) is employed for the prediction of the suspended water droplets and rain effects. Keywords— Atmospheric wave propagation, Dielectric permittivity of water, Dispersive complex refractivity, Extremely high frequency, ITU recommendations, Millimeter waves.
G Approximation of Conic Sections by Bernstein-Jacobi Hybrid Polynomial Curves

A G approximation method of conic sections using Bernstein-Jacobi hybrid polynomial curves of arbitrary degree is proposed. Based on the method of weighted-sum-ofobjective-function in the multi-objective optimization, the problem can be converted to a scale optimization. Applying weighted least-squares, we obtain the resulting curve. Meanwhile, by the orthogonality of Jacobi polynomials, the inverse of matrix is avoided. Finally, some examples and figures were offered to demonstrate the efficiency and the simplicity of our methods.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC SCHOOL CULTURE

The purpose of this research is to find out the ways al-Madinah Islamic school implements the Islamic school culture and to uncover the supporting and obstructing factors it faces in implementing it. The result is that the existence of Islamic school culture can improve the performance of school by the rise of students’ learning achievement. It means that there is the positive impact of culture on the organizational performance. Al-Madinah Islamic school has implemented a culture as well-known an Islamic school culture since 2004. In general, it focuses on two things, namely: read (iqra) and good ethics (akhlaq karimah) culture. Read as a manifestation of first divine revelation is intended to shape a student to be a learning person by being a delight in reading. Good ethics is manifested through collective prayer, Islamic dress, respecting each other, etc. Some of the supporting factors are the commitment from top management and support from the school community. Conversely, some of the obstructing ones are less optimal sanction application and no preparation of internal side to logical consequence in the implementation of the religious atmosphere at the school.
Analyzing Student Performance in Programming Education Using Classification Techniques

In this research, we aggregated students log data such as Class Test Score (CTS), Assignment Completed (ASC), Class Lab Work (CLW) and Class Attendance (CATT) from the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science Unit, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria. Similarly, we employed data mining techniques such as ID3 & J48 Decision Tree Algorithms to analyze these data. We compared these algorithms on 239 classification instances. The experimental results show that the J48 algorithm has higher accuracy in the classification task compared to the ID3 algorithm. The important feature attributes such as Information Gain and Gain Ratio feature evaluators were also compared. Both the methods applied were able to rank search method and the experimental results confirmed that the two methods derived the same set of attributes with a slight deviation in the ranking. From the results analyzed, we discovered that 67.36 percent failed the course titled Introduction to Computer Programming, while 32.64 percent passed the course. Since the CATT has the highest gain value from our analysis; we concluded that it is largely responsible for the success or failure of the students.
Prevalensi karies gigi di Indonesia sangat tinggi. Hal ini berdampak serius terhadap penurunan derajat kesehatan masyarakat pada umumnya. Faktor etiologi utama dalam berkembangnya karies gigi adalah plak. Plak merupakan kumpulan berbagai macam mikroorganisme yang membentuk suatu masa lunak pada perm

The prevalence of dental caries in Indonesia is very high. This seriously affected the decline in public health in general. The main etiologic factor in the development of dental caries is a plaque. Plaque is a collection of various kinds of microorganisms that form a soft on the surface of the tooth. This study aims to analyze the growth inhibitory effects of S. mutant by natural khitosan from shrimp waste. In vitro study was conducted in stages. These stages are carried out are of hatchery isolates of Streptococcus mutans, and testing the inhibition of the extract on the growth of plaque khitosan by S. mutans. Khitosan extract was obtained from the results of chemical extraction methods. To view the reactivity S. mutans to extract khitosan can be done by measurement of inhibition zones and the measurement of pH of liquid medium was added to extract khitosan. Results of tests on the inhibition of khitosan S.mutans growth shows no signs of the formation of clear zone around the disk. However, based on the results of pH measurements in liquid media showed the inhibition against S. khitosan mutants at a concentration of 25% (0.625 g extract in 2.5 mL distilled water khitosan). This difference can be observed at pH values between Day 1 and Day-2 the lowest is 0.79.
Loot Box Purchase Decisions in Digital Business Models: The Role of Certainty and Loss Experience

Game providers are increasingly employing and selling loot boxes, which can be considered virtual goods that consist of further virtual goods on a randomized basis. As such, game providers can foster profitability without impeding user experience. Drawing on prospect theory, we investigate ideas for the design of loot box menus to optimize revenue generation and user well-being. By conducting a contest-based online experiment with 159 participants, our analyses reveal that including certain (vs. uncertain) content in loot boxes can influence users’ purchase behaviors and thus increase revenues. Moreover, this effect increases when participants previously experienced a loss. Thus, our findings demonstrate that game providers can profit from offering certain content in loot boxes.
ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDY OF SPERMIOGENESIS AND SPERMATOZOON OF PORRORCHIS INDICUS (DAS, 1957) SCHMIDT AND KUNTZ, 1967 (ACANTHOCEPHALA, PALAEACANTHOCEPHALA, PLAGIORHYNCHIDAE) FROM THE EGYPTIAN CENTROPUS SENEGALENSIS AEGYPTIUS (AVES: CUCULIDAE)

Porrorchis indicus is an endoparasite of the Egyptian birds, Centropus Senegalensis aegyptius. This parasite causes damage to the gut wall of the infected birds. Spermiogenesis and sperm ultrastructure have been widely used in the phylogeny of parasitic platyhelminthic and acanthocephalan worms. However, there are limited ultrastructural data available on spermiogenesis and the spermatozoon on the acanthocephalan family, plagiorhynchidae to which P. indicus belongs. The present study investigated the ultrastructure features of the different stages of P. indicus spermiogenesis. The morphology and anatomy of the spermatozoa was described in comparison with the previous reports. Different ultrathin sections of the body of P. indicus (testes and vas deferens) were cut using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to describe the different stages of the spermiogenesis as well as both morphology and anatomy of spermatozoa. The results showed that the primary spermatocystes of P. indicus was rounded shape with large rounded nuclei and high nucleocytoplasmic ratio. The secondary spermatocystes showed nearly ovoid shape; each possessed a small nucleus and numerous mitochondria. The early spermatid possessed a large nucleus and contained a single centriole. The early spermatid showed a posterior bulb in which the centriole had a flagellum with 9+0 pattern surrounded by a plasma membrane it changed into 9+2 pattern. The cytoplasmic canal is characterized by a ring form which appeared around the axoneme. The anterior extremity of the spermatozoa showed the presence of the centriolar derivative that had three different stages. The first is made of nine peripheral elements. The second is of nine peripheral and one central element. The third showed nine peripheral and two central elements. The centriolar derivative is followed by a flagellum with a 9+2 pattern. In mature spermatozoa, protein granules different sizes, numbers and shapes were recognized.
From 1G to 5G, What Next?

—From the era of electrical telegraphy to the modern internet protocol (IP)-based networks, the evolution from the first generation (1G) to the nascent, fifth generation (5G) networks has been largely gradual, sometimes meteoric. Today, there is the ‘big data’ buzz, the internet is nearly ubiquitous and everything appears to have ‘smart’ capabilities given fascinating technologies such as cloud computing, machine-to-machine (M2M) and the internet of things (IoT). Through these eras, developments have witnessed spells of very low data rates (about 10 kilobits per second (kbps)) to very high rates in a staggering magnitude of 1 terabit per second (Tbps), which is hypothetically attainable in 5G technology. This survey paper presents a recapitulation of the evolution from 1G to 5G. It further elaborates the key capabilities and performance targets of 5G; with emphases on intriguing characteristics (ultra-low latency, ultra-reliability, ultra-responsiveness, ultra-fast data rate, ultra-connectivity and ultra-densification), and enabling technologies (software defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualisation (NFV), network slicing (NS), mobile edge computing (MEC) millimetre wave (mmWave), and massive MIMO). The current technological trends due to the evolution are also presented, with highlights regarding the key issues faced by professionals in the field and technology-savvy users in a constantly developing world. Some potential areas of research and development (R&D) are also presented.
Socio Economic Status of aged population residing in Shimla Hills of North India

Socio-economic status is the foremost issue in the contemporary world, especially in the developing world. The socio-economic status in the rural areas is gradually improving over a period of time. The present study approaches the senior citizens (aged population) economic status of rural and urban areas of Shimla-the state capital of Himachal Pradesh. The study focuses on economic conditions like source of income, occupation, impact of literacy on income source. During this study, an attempt has been made to find out the actual socio-economic status of population of different income groups. A sample size of 150 was selected for conducting this study in rural as well as urban elderly population and the study is based on door to door data collection with the help of a suitable questionnaire. The collected data have been classified into four income groups and simple percentage method is followed to analyse the data. The results shows that in rural area 99.32% aged covered under monthly income between Rs 2000 to Rs 6000 as compared to only 34.55% urban in the income group. In urban area, non-significant difference in the income was noticed with a maximum 37.99% in a range of Rs 6000 to Rs 15000. Thus, only a few percentages of people in old ages have sufficient sources of income and can enjoy little better life rural areas.

MAPX: Controlled Data Migration in the Expansion of Decentralized Object-Based Storage Systems

Data placement is critical for the scalability of decentralized object-based storage systems. The state-of-the-art CRUSH placement method is a decentralized algorithm that de-terministically places object replicas onto storage devices without relying on a central directory. While enjoying the beneﬁts of decentralization such as high scalability, robustness, and performance, CRUSH-based storage systems suffer from uncontrolled data migration when expanding the clusters, which will cause signiﬁcant performance degradation when the expansion is nontrivial. This paper presents M AP X, a novel extension to CRUSH that uses an extra time-dimension mapping (from object creation times to cluster expansion times) for controlled data migration in cluster expansions. Each expansion is viewed as a new layer of the CRUSH map represented by a virtual node beneath the CRUSH root. M AP X controls the mapping from objects onto layers by manipulating the timestamps of the intermediate placement groups (PGs). M AP X is applicable to a large variety of object-based storage scenarios where object timestamps can be maintained as higher-level metadata. For example, we apply M AP X to Ceph-RBD by extending the RBD metadata structure to maintain and retrieve approximate object creation times at the granularity of expansions layers. Experimental results show that the M AP X-based migration-free system outperforms the CRUSH-based system (which is busy in migrating objects after expansions) by up to 4 . 25 × in the tail latency.
Mobile Assisted Language Learning: Evidence of an Emerging Paradigm

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) may not have reached the highest levels of maturity; still, it manages to forge an identity of its own in the educational sphere. The intent of this paper is to substantiate the legitimacy of MALL. In particular, this study adopts a content-design approach as a means of researching the reciprocity between the offerings of mobile technology and the imperatives of language learning. The content-design estimation of the different extensions of MALL revealed the multiple affordances of mobile technology in the language learning discourse. Short Message Service (SMS)-based language learning, educational podcasting, mobile social networking, and game-based learning emphasise the potential of mobile technology in a wide range of language learning contexts. Still, for MALL to reach its full potential, it must belong dependently of a valid theoretical and pedagogical orientation in language learning. Keywords— education, ICT, mobile learning, MALL, social media.
The construction and regulation of collective entrepreneurial identity in student entrepreneurship societies

The purpose of this paper is to critically investigate how collective identity is constructed and regulated by board members and other active members of student entrepreneurship societies (ESs). ,A discursive analysis focusing on collective identity construction and regulation based on focus group discussions in two student-led Finnish ESs affiliated with higher education institutions (HEIs). ,ES members construct and regulate collective entrepreneurial identity based on a shared narrative of entrepreneurship and the affective state of positive energy and thinking, i.e. “positive buzz. ” Being entrepreneurial was constructed as having the right kind of mentality to cope with uncertain and rapidly changing working life and to break free of old moulds of working. The shared narrative was coherent, and critical reflection on the values or risks of entrepreneurship was mainly silenced. ,As ESs are a relatively new phenomenon future research could explore ESs in different cultural and regional contexts and compare the identity construction and regulation of ES student members and non-members. ,Strong collective identity and sense of commitment to doing things together may mitigate the pressures of being entrepreneurial and taking charge of one’s life. ,Educational practice and research could benefit from better understanding of the informal context in which entrepreneurship education takes place. ,The paper contributes to the relatively new research stream on ESs as student-led entrepreneurial organizations in HEIs. The research demonstrates how ES members participate in constructing a collective and coherent identity that is regulated by shared values and a positive state of mind. This study extends the understanding of ESs from the functional perspective to viewing them as a social community. It contributes to the definition of ESs and the self-understanding of ES actors.
