Authors: Jenab Yaser , Ariannejad Hamid , Rabbani Zahra , Soveyzi Faezeh , HosseinSabet Ali , Shirani Shapour
Published: July 2021

Background: The right heart thrombus (RHT) embolizes from deep venous thrombi and sits in the right atrium or the right ventricle. We aimed to determine the occurrence and prognosis of the RHT in patients with pulmonary embolism.
Methods: We reviewed the cohort data of 622 patients with acute pulmonary embolism obtained from the registry of Tehran Heart Center. Demographic, physiological, clinical, and echocardiographic data, as well as clinical outcomes, were compared between patients with and without the RHT.
Results: The study population comprised 622 patients, including 329 men (52.8%). The mean age of the patients was 60.2±17.0 years. Thirty patients (4.8%) had echocardiographically proven RHT. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were not different between the 2 groups. Right ventricular dysfunction was more prevalent in the RHT (+) group, and more patients in this group were treated with thrombolysis (P=0.013 and P<0.001, respectively). Overall, 3 out of 21 patients (14.2%) in the RHT (+) group vs 29 out of 306 patients (9.4%) in the RHT (−) group died at 1 month (P=0.445) and 5 out of 21 patients (23.8%) in the RHT (+) group vs 56 out of 307 patients (18.2%) in the RHT (−) group died at 1 year (P=0.562).
Conclusion: The RHT is an influential complication in patients with pulmonary emboli, and it seems to increase the mortality rate of patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

Coal contributes over half of India’s primary commercial energy and is likely to remain India’s most important source of energy for the coming decade or two. However, extraction and usage of coal leads to severe environmental problems within India and also contributes to climate change inducing green-house gas emissions. But the challenges of coal in India go beyond this, as the sector is plagued with governance challenges, inefficiency and allegations of corruption. This article takes a holistic view of the Indian coal sector. It summarizes the challenges produced by coal as well as the challenges that affect the sector. Furthermore, the article provides a glimpse into the perspectives of an energy future for the country with a reduced role for coal.
Energy Conservation in Households in Urban Areas in India
Authors: Garg Aashee , Agarwal Anusha
Published: July 2021

India, as a country is very rich in terms of natural resources however as citizens, we have not respected this fact and have been continuously exploiting nature’s gift to mankind. Further as the population is ever increasing, the load on the consumption of resources is unprecedented. This has led to the depletion of natural resources such as coal, oil, gas etc., apart from the pollution it causes. It is time that we shift from use of these conventional resources to more effective new ways of energy generation. We should develop and encourage usage of renewable resources such as wind and solar in households to conserve energy in place of the mentioned nonrenewable energy sources. This paper deals with the most effective ways in which the households in India can conserve energy thus reducing effect on environment and depletion of limited resources.
Modelling and Simulation of Solar PV Array Field Incorporated with Solar Irradiance and Temperature Variation to Estimate Output Power of Solar PV Field
Authors: Kamble Vishwesh , Marathe Milind
Published: July 2021

Photovoltaic systems are designed to feed either to grid or direct consumption. Due to global concerns, significant growth is being observed in Grid connected solar PV Plants. Since the PV module generates DC power, inverter is needed to interface it with grid. The power generated by a solar PV module depends on surrounding such as irradiance and temperature. This paper presents modelling of solar PV arrays connected to grid-connected plant incorporated with irradiance and temperature variation, to design simulator to study and analyse effect on output power of solar PV arrays with irradiance and temperature variation, also to estimate the output power generated by PV arrays. The mathematical model is designed implemented separately on simulator for each PV components connected in PV systems, which are PV cell, Module, sting, array and field of arrays. The results from simulation based on model are verified by the data collected from power plants and experiments done on solar PV cell.
An Efficient Implementation of Built in Self Diagnosis for Low Power Test Pattern Generator
Authors: Nithya N.
Published: July 2021

A New architecture of Built-In Self-Diagnosis is presented in this project. The logic Built-In-Self-Test architecture method is extreme response compaction architecture. This architecture first time enables an autonomous on-chip evaluation of test responses with negligible hardware overhead. Architecture advantage is all data, which is relevant for a subsequent diagnosis, is gathered during just one test session. Due to some reasons, the existing method Built-In Self-Test is less often applied to random logic than to embedded memories.  The generation of deterministic test patterns can become prohibitively high due to hardware overhead. The diagnostic resolution of compacted test responses is in many cases poor and the overhead required for an acceptable resolution may become too high.  Modifications in Linear Feedback Shift Register to generate test pattern with security for modified Built-In-Self-Test applications with reduced power requirement. The modified Built-In-Self-Test circuit incorporates a fault syndrome compression scheme and improves the circuit speed with reduction of time.
THE KILLER OF NATURE – ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
Authors: Sharma Ekta
Published: July 2021

The Presented summary paper target is to draw the attention of the public to the benefits of Environment and how we are connected to the Environment. To show that if there’s any change in the Environmental conditions, then how the conditions change in human beings lives. Living Being, whether a Human Being or Animals or plants,  are all directly or indirectly Dependent on the Environment for their Survival. When asked truly it can be said that none of the living being can survive without the presence of Environment. It is difficult to find absolutely natural environments, and it is common that the naturalness varies in a continuum, from ideally 100% natural in one extreme to 0% natural in the other. More precisely, we can consider the different aspects or components of an environment, and see that their degree of naturalness is not uniform.
AN ENHANCED IMAGE STEGANOGRAPHY TECHNIQUE FOR HIGH-SECURITY COMMUNICATION
Authors: Mahajan Apoorv , Singh Rajput Arpan
Published: July 2021

Purpose of the study: We propose an approach to hide data in an image with minimum Mean Squared Error (MSE) and maximum Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT).

Methodology: The methodology used by us considers the application of Discrete Wavelet transform to transform the values of the image into a different domain for embedding the information to be hidden in the image and then using Singular Value decomposition we decomposed the matrix values of the image for better data hiding.

Main Findings: The application of the SVD function gave the model a better performance and also RED pixel values with the High-High frequency domain are a better cover for hiding data.

Applications of this study: This article can be used for further research on applications of mathematical and frequency transformation functions on data hiding. It can also be used to implement a highly secure image steganography model.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The application of Discrete Wavelet Transform has been used before but the application of SVD and hiding data in the H-H domain to obtain better results is original.

The Efficacy of Short Pre-sessional Courses on Learner Writing
Authors: Bridle Marcus Adrian
Published: July 2021

This study examines the development of learner written accuracy over the course of a short, university pre-sessional course. One of the issues practitioners and learners are faced with on short courses is the time limitation, which can result in an emphasis on the macros-linguistic, organisational features of academic writing at the expense of a focus on written accuracy. The research charted the effects of an error feedback and revision cycle on student writing. The key observations were that the majority of revisions were made successfully and that this may have contributed towards the subsequent written accuracy of drafts. These findings suggest that, contrary to some perceptions, short pre-sessional courses can have a positive effect on the linguistic accuracy of learner writing.
Integrating Formative Assessment with Foreign Language (English) Process Writing Instruction: Lessons from Two College Writing and Reading Classes in Germany
Authors: Mueller-Lyaskovets Tetyana , Horner Olena
Published: July 2021

Timed single-draft essays as summative assessment tasks have been argued to be inadequate for both teaching and assessing writing in the context of process writing. This is because single draft essays assess product rather than process. To address this concern, the authors developed, implemented, and evaluated two FL (foreign language) English writing courses that integrate various formative assessment activities for teaching writing. The course-embedded evaluation methodology included three techniques: pre-testing, collecting teacher-student conference reports, and administering a student opinion survey at the end of the semester. Pre-testing and collecting conference reports were both used as techniques for simultaneous teaching and inquiry into this teaching. The student opinion survey evaluated the course design grounded in the new teaching methodology. The findings of the study indicate that consistent use of formative assessment in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing class increases student confidence and motivation to develop their writing skills. Results demonstrate that academic (C1 level) and college (B2 level) writing courses that integrate formative assessment into teaching process writing can be a valuable addition to an array of FL (English) language courses offered by the departments of foreign languages at European universities.
Using author-devised cover letters instead of instructor-devised rubrics to generate useful written peer feedback comments
Authors: Yallop Roger , Leijen Djuddah A. J.
Published: July 2021

This study uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods in a mixed-methods approach to investigate whether the principled use of author-devised cover letters (CLs) within doctorate writing groups can result in more useful reviewer feedback comments than would be attained through the use of instructor-devised writing assessment rubrics. In this context, CLs are self-devised written documents that help the reviewers give the author useful and critical written feedback comments. Twenty participants in different discipline-specific writing groups were given explicit instruction about the importance and content of CLs during the peer feedback process. Their perceptions of a useful CL were obtained from post-course questionnaires and analysed qualitatively. In addition, their CLs at various stages of the feedback process were analysed quantitatively for genre, social presence, and evidence of teaching instruction, and compared to the CLs produced by 20 PhD students in similar writing groups who received minimal CL instruction. The study found that author-devised CLs, as opposed to instructor-devised rubrics, can allow the authors the flexibility of providing text-specific background details, requesting reviewer help on specific textual aspects, using social presence to develop a sense of writing community, and provide reflection upon their own writing.
The Relationship between Comfort with Writing and Comfort Working with Numbers in STEM
Authors: Nicholes Justin
Published: July 2021

Informed by writer-identity theory explaining links between emotion and identity, this study explores college STEM students’ feelings of comfort pertaining to math literacy, quantitative literacy, writing in STEM, and writing in general. Survey data from STEM majors (N = 134) was analyzed with Spearman rho tests of association. Results indicated that feelings of comfort working with numbers was significantly associated with comfort writing about numbers (rs = .504, p < .001); comfort writing about numbers was significantly associated with comfort writing in STEM (rs = .265, p = .002); and comfort writing in STEM was significantly associated with comfort writing in general (rs = .558, p < .001). This study suggests links between positive emotional experiences, which are implicated in identity performances, of quantitative writing, disciplinary writing, and writing in general. Future research on emotional experience and writer identity across the curriculum and in the disciplines is called for.

Published: July 2021

Considerando os direitos da pessoa com deficiência visual e a necessidade do ambiente se adaptar à diversidade de públicos, pretende-se compreender em que medida os centros de saúde de Portugal respondem às suas necessidades de comunicação e de interação no acesso aos cuidados de saúde primários. Os dados deste estudo, exploratório-descritivo, resultaram do preenchimento de um inquérito por questionário 124 pessoas com deficiência visual. Conclui-se que os centros de saúde não respondem às necessidades da maioria dos participantes, sendo as consequências deste facto a perda de autonomia, privacidade e informações importantes, para além de serem, também, percecionadas algumas barreiras que se prendem a questões interpessoais. Os resultados obtidos reforçam a importância de sensibilizar, por um lado, as pessoas com deficiência visual para a afirmação esclarecida dos seus direitos e por outro, os profissionais e organizações sobre o impacto da deficiência visual nas dimensões interpessoais e na autogestão das informações.Palavras-chave: Informação acessível.

The data collected in this exploratory-descriptive study resulted from a questionnaire survey, by 124 people with visual impairment. It is possible to conclude that health centers do not meet the needs of the majority of participants, and the consequences of this fact are the loss of autonomy, privacy and important information, besides also being perceived some barriers related to interpersonal issues. The results reinforce the importance of awareness of people with visual impairment to their rights and, on the other hand, professionals and organizations about the impact of visual impairment on interpersonal dimensions and self-management of information.Keywords: Accessible information.

Published: July 2021

RESUMO O presente artigo faz uma análise crítica sobre a situação da educação de rua, em Moçambique, e sua influência no debate em torno da diversidade cultural. Todavia, entende-se que a diversidade cultural constitui uma plataforma de desenvolvimento de uma sociedade, e que o seu estímulo, de diversas formas, é uma abordagem pontual e necessária, principalmente no setor da educação. Entretanto, em Moçambique, por um lado, o Sistema Nacional de Educação dá mais ênfase a educação formal, isto é, institucionalizada, e por outro reconhece a educação informal, setor que não abrange o espaço “rua”, desta feita, ignorando completamente o direito à educação das crianças de rua. É neste âmbito que se enquadra o nosso artigo, cujo objetivo é refletir sobre a situação da educação de rua e seu impacto na promoção da diversidade cultural em Moçambique. Para o efeito, recorremos aos métodos hermenêuticos, apoiados pelas técnicas de revisão bibliográfica. Portanto, o artigo conclui que há pouca preocupação de promover a diversidade cultural por meio da educação das crianças de e na rua, pelo que o espaço “rua” é visto como de mendigos e que o direito à proteção e à educação tem sido negados através de políticas públicas que são pouco claras, razão pela qual instamos a quem de direito a sua sensibilidade.Palavras-chave: Educação de rua. Inclusão. Diversidade cultural. Moçambique. Street Social Education and the Question of Cultural Diversity: Who Cares?ABSTRACTThis article provides a critical analysis of the situation of street education in Mozambique and its influence on the debate around cultural diversity. However, it is understood that cultural diversity constitutes a platform for the development of a society, and that its encouragement, through different forms, is a punctual and necessary approach, mainly in the education sector. However, in Mozambique, on the one hand, the National Education System places more emphasis on formal, that is, institutionalized education, and on the other, it recognizes informal education, a sector that does not cover the “street” space, this time completely ignoring the right the education of street children. It is in this context that our article fits, which aims to reflect on the situation of street education and its impact on the promotion of cultural diversity in Mozambique. For this purpose, we use hermeneutic methods, supported by bibliographic review techniques. Therefore, the article concludes that there is little concern to promote cultural diversity through education in children from and on the street, so the “street” space is seen as a space for beggars and that the right to protection and education has been denied through public policies that are unclear, which is why we urge those entitled to their sensitivity.Keywords: Street education.

Polityka pieniężna wobec globalnego kryzysu – działania Narodowego Banku Polskiego na tle wybranych banków centralnych w latach 2007–2010
Authors: Szymańska Agata
Published: July 2021

Kryzys finansowy zmusił banki centralne do aktywności w stymulowaniu warunków funkcjonowania sektora finansowego, głównie poprzez wykorzystanie polityki stóp procentowych i innych działań podejmowanych w celu utrzymania płynności sektora bankowego. W latach 2007–2010 europejska polityka pieniężna była prowadzona w warunkach dość niskich stóp procentowych, które stanowiły ograniczenie dla skutecznego stymulowania procesów w sferze realnej. Co więcej, pojawiające się w niektórych krajach zagrożenie deflacją, czy też pogłębiające się ryzyko płynności na rynku międzybankowym, spowodowały konieczność wykorzystania strategii opartych o niestandardowe rozwiązania, zwłaszcza, że dotychczasowa polityka niskich stóp procentowych nie przyniosła oczekiwanych rezultatów w sferze realnej. W przypadku NBP, EBC oraz Banku Anglii, charakter podejmowanych działań miał na celu stymulowanie płynności systemu bankowego, realizowanych przede wszystkim poprzez zwiększenie dostępności do operacji swapowych, wydłużenie terminów operacji pożyczkowych czy przyjmowaniem bardziej liberalnych zabezpieczeń. NBP, podobnie jak inne banki centralne, szybko przystąpił do sformułowania planu antykryzysowego, który został przyjęty w Pakiecie zaufania, jednak wskazuje się, że jego realizacja była dość powolna w początkowym okresie. Nie mniej jednak, w obliczu kryzysu działania NBP charakteryzowała strategia o zbliżonym do inny banków centralnych charakterze, prowadzona przy użyciu podobnych rodzajów instrumentów i zasadach ich realizacji.
Działalność inwestycyjna przemysłowych przedsiębiorstw z udziałem kapitału zagranicznego w Polsce (2004–2009). Wybrane aspekty
Authors: Lech Aleksandra

Firmy przemysłowe z kapitałem zagranicznym, lokujące swoją działalność w Polsce cechuje, wysoka innowacyjność na tle przedsiębiorstw z kapitałem polskim. Systematycznie jednak przewaga firm z kapitałem zagranicznym w zakresie działalności innowacyjnej maleje, co świadczyć może o występowaniu efektu „doganiania” w polskich firmach. Z punktu widzenia modernizacji polskiej gospodarki, na szczególną uwagę zasługuje wzrost aktywności badawczo-rozwojowej podmiotów z kapitałem zagranicznym, mimo obserwowanej w Polsce cykliczności nakładów na działalność innowacyjną. Pozytywnie ocenić należy również zmianę branżowej struktury ulokowanego kapitału zagranicznego w formie BIZ.

An investigation was carried out to study the performance of 28 hybrids of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria mol. stand) through diallel mating design excluding reciprocals. Observations were recorded on the traits, viz., number of primary branches per vine, days to 50% flowering, node number at which first female flower appears, days to initiation of first female flower, number of fruits per vine, days to first fruit harvest, fruit weight, fruit size, hundred seed weight, flesh thickness, vine length and fruit yield per vine besides quality traits such as moisture content and TSS content in the fruit. Among the 28 hybrids of bottle gourd studied, thecross ‘PSPL X Pusa Naveen excelled in yield per vine, followed by the crosses ‘DBG-5XPusa Naveen. Thus, first generation hybrids can be well-utilized for exploiting hybrid vigour to achieve improved quality.

An investigation was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore during summer-2017 to study the effect ofvaried levels of nitrogen and phosphorus fertigation on cherry tomato under open field and polyhouse conditions. There were 12 treatment combinations comprising of two growing conditions (open field and polyhouse), three levels of nitrogen (120, 150 and 180 kg N ha-1) and two levels of phosphorus (100 and 120 kg P2O5 ha-1) supplied trough fertigation with recommended potassium (150 kg h-1) as constant which were laid out in Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Result revealed that plant height (384.39 cm), fresh weight per plant (3.00 kg),nitrogen balance index (48.56), total leaf area per plant (6293 cm2), mean fruit weight (15.84 g), TSS content (6.30 ºB) and shelf life (15.66 days) were significantly higher under polyhouse condition with fertigation level of 180:120 kg N:P2O5 ha-1. However, significantly higher yield per hectare (78.16 t), Shelf life (15.66 days) and higher cost benefit ratio (4.81) were observed under open field condition with fertigation level of 150:120 kg N: P2O5 ha-1. Further, it can be concluded from the study that application of 150:120 kg N: P2O5 ha-1 through fertigation under open field condition is profitable during summer season in the Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka.

This paper described the interconnection model of morals-reasoning-research in the curriculum of Tarbiyatul Muallimien al-Islamiyah (known as TMI) Al-Amien Prenduan. It also examined the supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of the interconnected-curriculum. It is a case study employing observation, interviews and documentation, and the data were analyzed using qualitative analysis. Two conclusions were drawn. First, TMI uses multidisciplinary approaches in its curriculum by interconnecting morals, reason and research. Morals are instilled through reading and learning the morals books such as Ta‘lîm al-Muta‘allim and Iḥyâ’ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn. The reasoning skills are taught through school subjects such as logic, Islamic jurisprudence and the science of hadith. In contrast, the research skills are taught through research subjects and a compulsory program called writing a research paper. Second, the class classification model, which takes students’ talent and interest into account, and other research-related programs such as book review and fatḥ al-kutub (classical book research) are the supporting factors for the writing program. They are accommodating for students in completing their writing. Meanwhile, there are also numbers of inhibiting factors such as student’s lacking motivation, the prohibition of internet use, unsuitable supervisor expertise, and the minimum role of Islamic Study Center (Pusdilam).
THE ISLAMIC THEOCRATIC PRACTICE AND THE OTHER IN NIGERIA SINCE DEMOCRATIZATION
Authors: Rufai Saheed Ahmad
Published: July 2021

This paper’s hypothetical view is that theocracy as a concept is so self-explanatory that little or no special learning is required to discern it. This is based on the fact that almosteveryone has an idea of what government and religion mean and how they function or operate. Connecting religious institutions to government or the reverse is therefore not expected to prove challenging. However, the need for scholarly precision or appreciable level intellectual accuracy informs the need to critically rethink the concepts with regard to the status or place of The Other. Whereas the Islamic theocratic principles and practice in Nigeria are the subject of the paper, non-Muslims, contextually mentioned as The Other. This paper attempts to identify issues revolving around the experience of The Other in an Islamic theocracy, with a focus on Nigeria since its return to democratic rule in 1999. The paper which uses both historical and analytical methods seeks to systematically stimulate further engagement with the Islamic theoretical principles and practices as understood in the country during the period under coverage, in connection with issues and challenges involving the non-Muslims.
