Efficient VLSI Architecture for PRBG Using Modified Dual-CLCG

The transfer of information is done through wireless these days which made easy to communicate from anywhere easily, but to protect and secure the information from the external hacking world many procedures are invented which gives the compatibility of coding (enciphering). The efficient procedure is Pseudo random bit generator (PRBG). Among popular existing PRBG methods such as linear feedback shift register (LFSR), linear congruential generator (LCG), coupled LCG (CLCG), and dual-coupled LCG (dual-CLCG), the latter proves to be more secure. This method relies on the inequality comparisons that lead to generating pseudorandom bit at a non-uniform time interval. A new PRBG method called as “Efficient vlsi architecture for PRBG using modified dual-CLCG” are proposed in this paper to claim the cons of previous structure. The novel contribution of the proposed PRBG method is to generate pseudorandom bit at uniform clock rate with one initial clock delay and minimum hardware complexity.
What’s the Hold Up? The FDA’s Delayed Implementation of Menu-Labeling Policy

Calorie labeling on menus became a federal law in 2010 but was not implemented until 2018, 8 years after adoption. This study reconstructs the history of the federal menu-labeling mandate using a process-tracing approach and finds that the delays in implementation resulted not from direct agency capture by the regulated industry, but rather from a system of indirect influence whereby lawmakers continue to influence policy-making even after adoption. Excessive legislative control can contribute to substantial implementation delays that undermine legislative intent. However, administrative agencies can serve as trustees to hold elected officials accountable to their own policy commitments.
Risk Regulations and Financial Disclosure : an Investigation Based on Corporate Communication in French Traded Companies

Purpose of the paper: Risk orientated disclosure is a focal issue of corporate communication. Many provisions have been implemented in the USA and in Europe to promote transparency about risks faced by companies, especially by quoted ones. The increase of mandatory risk reporting applying to companies leads to the question of whether or how companies are compliant with these regulations. The answer itself implies further questions: what is required to be disclosed? And what is risk? The purpose of this paper is to address these issues.Methodology: The paper uses a qualitative methodology based on Huberman and Miles (1994) in order to explore the collected data (annual reports of companies, laws, accounting standards, professional sources). Findings: The paper established an inventory of rules currently existing in order to identify the risk disclosure context faced by French companies and found that there is no consensus between the different pieces of legislation. It is demonstrated that the terminology referred to by companies tends to differ from one to another.Research limitations: The study focused on risk disclosure within annual reports of listed companies and on risk reporting within mandatory provisions. Practical implications: A consensus on the definition of risk needs to be reached in order to assess company management, as well as their compliance with provisions. Originality/value: An attempt is made to set up a framework which could eliminate deficiencies in the lack of consensus in laws and company practice.
Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Quality of Sleep and Chronotype in a Cohort of Adult Patients with Bardet–Biedl Syndrome

Objective/Background Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare but well-recognized ciliopathy with high genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Cardinal features include obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure (HBP), which are often associated with sleep-disordered breathing. Also, the high prevalence of blindness due to retinal dystrophy could affect circadian sleep–wake rhythms. We characterized in this cohort of adult BBS patients sleep-disordered breathing, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and chronotype. Patients and Methods Thirty-two patients with genetically confirmed BBS were included in this observational single center study. Overnight respiratory polygraphy was performed for sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) in 30 patients. Quality of sleep, daytime sleepiness, fatigue and chronotype were assessed in 25 patients using Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), 14-day sleep diary (SD), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Pichot fatigue scale (PFS) and Horne and Ostberg morningness-eveningness questionnaire (MEQ). Results Patients’ mean age was 32±11 years and mean BMI 32.6±7.7 kg/m2. Eleven (35%) patients had HBP and 7 (22%) diabetes. Moderate to severe sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) was present in 5 (17%) and was not associated with altered sleep, daytime sleepiness or fatigue. Most of the patients (63%) evaluated their sleep as of good quality (PSQI ≤ 5). Median scores of sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and fatigue were normal (PSQI of 3.0 [2.0–6.0], ESS of 9.0 [6.0–13.0] and PFS of 8.0 [3.0–13.0], respectively). Predominant chronotypes according to MEQ were either “intermediate” (57%) or “moderate morning” (29%). None had a free running sleep–wake cycle. 14-day SD revealed overall few awakenings at night and low daytime napping. Conclusions Given the cardiovascular risk factors, systematic screening for SAS should be considered in BBS patients, regardless of sleep and daytime vigilance complaints. None of these highly visually impaired patients had a circadian sleep–wake rhythm disorder. Further objective assessments are needed to better characterize sleep and circadian rhythms in BBS patients.

The moncyte chemotactic protein-1 plays an important role in the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages into renal tubulointerstitium
Prevention of in vitro glucose-induced cataract by Vasanjana prepared by Yashtimadhu Kalka (paste of Glycyrrhyza glabra Linn)

Background: Cataract is a major cause of blindness worldwide. Researchers received much attention from the traditional systems such as Ayurveda for the solutions of cataract through antioxidant activities apart from the surgical extraction. Aims: A To study, the anti-cataract activity of Vasanjana (VK) prepared with Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhyza glabra Linn) Kalka (paste) in Vasa (fat) of the domestic fowl (Gallus gallus) on glucose-induced cataract in ovine (sheep) lenses. Materials and methods: Artificial aqueous humor with 55 mM glucose was used to induce cataract in sheep eye lenses. Treatment was given with cow ghee (CG), plain fat, Vasanjana, and Vitamin E to the same media and lenses were incubated at the room temperature for 72 h. Biochemical parameters studied in the lens were total proteins, malondialdehyde (MDA), Na+ K+ ATPase activity and electrolytes (Na+ and K+). Photographic evaluation was also done. Results: The complete opacification induced by the glucose in ovine lens was observed in 72 h. Cataractous lenses showed significant increase in Na+, MDA level and significant decrease in Na+ K+ ATPase activity and total protein content. Lenses treated with Vasanjana showed non-significant increase of total protein content and decreased MDA level and prevented formation and progress of cataract by glucose, as evidenced by photographic evaluation. Glucose-induced biochemical changes were found to be reversed in statistically significant manner in CG and Vitamin E treated lenses. Conclusion: The anti-cataract activity of Vasanjana and CG may be because of the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity. Further in vitro and in vivo studies in various experimental models are required to validate their anti-cataract activity.
Sustainable Development on the Organizational Level: The Importance of Human Resource Management for Employee Greening

Environmental issues have become hot topic since several decades and day by day new concepts including environmental protection in business performance have risen in many countries (“Estrategia española de responsabilidad social de las empresas,” 2014; Linnenluecke & Griffiths, 2013; Pojasek, 2007; Shrivastava, Ivanaj, & Persson, 2013). Many authors have offered practices to be applied for greening of enterprises: business cases for corporate sustainability is widely discussed from the point of view of various management theories (Salzmann, Ionescu-somers, & Steger, 2005). Considering the worker as a key unit of any organization (Saifulina and Carballo-Penela, 2016), careful human resource management may lead to the improved environmental performance of the company and reduced impact on external environment of such, Herrera, G. /Journal of Economics and Management 1 (2017) 17-26 18 whose business practices are in special importance in nowadays , equally in production or service sectors, equally in production or service sectors. Merging two concepts the author of the current investigation discusses the importance of newly emerged term sustainable human resources, which includes important practices and behavioral patterns (Clarke, 2011) that may contribute immensely to organizational greening. Current research is focused on identification of the possible practices and factors influencing corporate sustainable behavior and contributing to the organizations being socially responsible based on careful literature review of the previous research results.
Optical and morphological characterization of Bi doped zinc oxide and its solar photocatalytic application

Bi-doped ZnO(BZO) powders of different Bi contents have been synthesized by coprecipitation method and characterized by TG–DTA, XRD, FT Raman, XPS, SEM–EDX, UV–visible and photoluminescence (PL) studies. X-ray diffraction data suggests the hexagonal wurtzite structure for modified ZnO crystallites and the incorporation of Biexpands the lattice constants of ZnO, while XPS spectra reveals the presence of Zinc and Bismuth in Zn and Bi oxidation states. The PL spectra suggest more number of oxygen vacancies in Bi-doped ZnO than bare ZnO. The photocatalytic performance of Bidoped ZnO, compared to bare ZnO was examined by photo degradation (PCD) of Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) in aqueous media under solar light. It has been found that Bi-doped ZnO showed better solar PCD efficiency than pristine ZnO.
Sistema endokannabinoideak emearen ugal-fisiologia modulatzen du ( The endocannabinoid system modulates female reproductive physiology )

The cannabinoid system is involved in many aspects of reproduction and it is known that the systemic chronic use of exogenous CBs is deleterious to reproductive processes. However, possible deficiencies in the endocannabinoid system are also harmful. Therefore, both CB under and overexposure could affect the regulation of the different phases of reproduction and endanger the start of a new life. Hence, the use of cannabinoids as a possible biomarker in the diagnosis of sterility or as a possible therapeutic target in clinical practice has begun to be studied.
Does the Procedural Justice affect Turnover Intention of Academic Staff in Malaysian Research Universities?

Academic staff are critical components of any effective teaching-learning process. Several researchers have identified the phenomena of academic’s staff, leaving their profession because of many reasons. But why this topic has been more relevant than it used to be, and why it is part of its strategy to remain so. This problem is getting more complicated because it involves the personal, institutional and social aspects of society. It is widely accepted that if the academic staff perceived fairness during the decision-making process, they can fulfil the educational objectives and national goals. Academic staff who feel unfairly treated tend to leave the organisation. Several types of research have shown that turnover intention has to do with procedural justice. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between procedural justice and academic staff of Malaysian research universities with turnover intention. This study’s design is quantitative through the cross-sectional approach. Also, the samples obtained via questionnaires from university personnel of five public research universities. A total of 277 university staff completed the surveys. The result showed that the purpose of turnover between the lectures was negatively affected by procedural justice. Thus, we concluded that procedural justice was an even better predictor of turnover. It means that the University of Research in Malaysia would understand that their decision to leave will be motivated by a lack of justice.
EFFECT OF HEAT STRESS ON SOME AGRONOMIC TRAITS OF BREAD WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM, L) GENOTYPES UNDER UPPER EGYPT CONDITIONS

Combined analysis of variance for all studied traits in twelve bread wheat genotypes showed highly significant differences among lines and sowing dates, as well as, the lines x sowing date interaction which showed significant and highly significant for all traits except grain yield. Delaying the sowing date to 20 December reduced grain yield, 1000 kernel weight, accumulated growing degree days (GDD), and duration of grain filling period by 30.0, 6.2, 10.3, and 11.4%, respectively when compared to normal sowing date (20 December), while the rate of grain filling period was increased by 7% when compared to the optimum sowing date (25 November). Susceptibility index “s” for grain yield showed that lines 1, 2, 3, 7, 9 and 10 were the most tolerant lines to high temperature, meanwhile the other lines were the more susceptible. Line number 5 recorded the highest grain yield, longest duration with medium rate of grain filling under late sowing date. These results indicated that the tolerant lines may have genes controlling tolerance to heat stress. Hence, they could be use as parents in breeding programs in Upper Egypt.
COVID-19: Trauma, Resilience and Posttraumatic Reconnection - A Mixed Method Study in Saudi Arabia

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted people’s mental health around the globe. Symptoms of trauma have increased drastically due to a perceived lack of control over the COVID-19 crisis, expectations of death or infection, and constant exposure to traumatic news. Resilience is defined as a person’s use of coping skills to cope with traumatic events. The present research aimed to investigate the impact of resilience on COVID-19 trauma. An explanatory sequential design with mixed methods and two phases of research was employed.The first phase involved the use of the Arabic version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to measure resilience among adults. The total sample size was 778 participants. T tests and correlation analysis were used to analyze the participants’ questionnaire responses. The results showed a significant difference in resilience between male and female participants. Additionally, educational level and familial support were correlated with resilience.The second phase involved the administration of openended questions to gather in-depth information from 17 participants who answered the CD-RISC. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used in the coding process to analyze the qualitative data. The findings indicated that the COVID-19 crisis increased trauma symptoms and that participants exhibited cognitive, emotional, and behavioral resilience in coping with the pandemic. Moreover, a significant finding was that participants engaged in posttraumatic reconnection that emphasized reconnection with the self and others.
THE NOVEL OF USING CYANOBACTERIA AND Azotobacter AS BIOFERTILIZER FOR WHEAT CROP PRODUCTION

A pot experiment was carried out at the experimental greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Mnsoura University, Dakahlia, Governorate, to study the effect of Azotobacter and/or cyanobacteria inoculation each individually and/or both in combinations under three nitrogen levels (zero N, 1/2 full N recommended dose and full N recommended dose) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety Sakha 93. Some soil biological, physical and chemical properties were also studied. Results indicated that the dual inoculation with both cyanobacteria and Azotobacter, generally enhanced wheat plant growth and increased wheat grain and straw yields, NPK uptake by grains and straw, available NPK in soil at three stages of wheat growth (vegetation, panicle initiation and at harvest). As well as the soil biological activity was positively enhanced due to the dual inoculation with both cyanobacteria and Azotobacter combined with 1/2 N dose only especially at the second stage (panicle initiation). In this concern, this treatment led to increase the soil dehydrogenase activity, CO2 evolution, soil microbial community represented by total bacteria count, total cyanobacteria count and Azotobacter count. However, the priority was for the second stage (panicle initiation) and the treatment of 1⁄2 N + cyano + Azoto compared to the other tested treatments and/or stages. In conclusion, much attention should be paid to understand the mechanism of dual inoculation with both cyanobacteria and Azotobacter that positively affected wheat production and improved biological and chemical characters for the inoculated soil.

The results of the media feasibility validation test were obtained 98%, for the feasibility of physics, material obtained 81%, and the feasibility of learning physics was obtained 86%. From the results of the feasibility test with the teacher, it was obtained 94%. Based on the interpretation of the Likert scale, online learning resource is categorized as “very good”. So, it can be concluded that the online learning resources that has been developed is suitable for use in learning physics at Public Vocational School.
Design for FDM of flexible tooling for manufacturing aeronautical components by incremental sheet forming

Nowadays, industrial production is required to reduce industrialization times and development costs for new products while maintaining high quality standards. In this context, the development of new flexible manufacturing technologies has gained relevance in the last few years. The use of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) additive technique has been recently proposed in different industrial sectors for manufacturing rapid tooling (dies) to be used in conventional sheet metal stamping or stretching processes with a significant decrease in costs and time savings. On the other hand, Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) technology is characterized by an enhanced formability of the parts thus manufactured as well as for the need of a small number of tooling, reducing costs compared to conventional processes such as hydroforming or stamping. In particular, its simplest variant, Single-Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) requires the use of backing plates, which do not require tight tolerances as their only function is to collaborate in the deformation process acting as a support point. Furthermore, the strength requirements are also not a limitation since the forces involved in SPIF are very small given the local nature of the deformation. In this context, the main objective of this work is the design of a modular tooling system, manufactured using the FDM additive technique, that allows the flexible manufacturing of different aeronautical components by SPIF.
Toxicity Impact of Chemical Pesticide (Synthetic) on Ecosystem- A Critical Review

Quick Response Code Abstract: This review aim to covers the toxicity impact of chemical Pesticides, Mechanism of action, its ecological risk impact on plant, soil, animals, water air and microorganisms. Pesticides are chemical substance designed to kill or retard the growth of pests that damage or interfere with the growth of crops, shrubs, trees, timber and other vegetation desired by humans. Practically all chemical pesticides, however, are poisons and pose long-term danger to the environment and humans through their persistence in nature or body tissue. Synthetic pesticides increases heavy metals in the soil which is then transferred to plant, consumed by human and thereby accumulate in the food chain since they are not biodegradable. Most of the pesticides are non-specific and may kill life forms that are harmless or useful. Exposure occurs through ingestion of food and water as well as skin respiratory absorption. Pesticides can contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation and cause harm to animals and humans. In addition to killing insects or weeds, pesticides can be toxic to a host of other organisms including birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants. Exposure to chemical pesticides can lead to Asthma, Birth Defects, Neurological Effects, Cancer and Hormone Disruptions. Effects of pesticides on soil micro-organisms can cause a ripple effect that can last for years. Microorganisms are essential to healthy soil. Unfortunately, many pesticides can kill more than just their intended targets, namely the necessary microorganisms in the soil. Pesticides are found as common contaminants in soil, air, water and on non-target organisms in our urban landscapes. Pesticides can reach surface water and ground water through runoff from treated plants and soil. Contamination of water by pesticides is widespread.
