Published: June 2022

Maize (Zea mays) is cultivated all over the world including Pakistan for fodder and grain. Genetic diversity and environmental effects greatly affect the fodder yield and quality in maize. Therefore, it is imperative to assess the genetic diversity among 31 maize genotypes for fodder and quality related traits. Genotypes were collected from the Australian Grain Gene Bank and grown under field conditions with three replications following randomized complete block design. The morphological traits such as plant height (cm), leaf area (cm2 ), leaf-stem ratio (wt. basis), stem girth (cm), leaves plant-1 , days to 50% silking, days to 50% silking, leaf moisture (%), dry fodder yield plant-1 (g), green fodder yield plant-1 (g) and quality traits such as crude protein (%), ether extract (%), ash content (%), crude fiber (%) and nitrogen-free extract (%) were recorded. Analysis of variance, biplot analysis and genotypic and phenotypic correlation were performed. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences with days to 50% silking, days to 50% tasseling, plant height, stem girth, leaf area, leaves plant-1, moisture percentage, green and dry fodder yield, crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, ash content and nitrogen free extract and non-significant differences with leaf stem ratio. At phenotypic and genotypic level, dry fodder yield plant-1 , plant height, stem diameter, leaf moisture %, No. of leaves, days to 50% silking, crude fiber and ether extract revealed significant correlation with fodder yield plant-1 . Biplot analysis based on PCA for different quantitative parameters showed that first two principal components i.e F1, F2 are contributing 23.29% and 14.53 % to the total variations respectively. Based on all the results the best genotypes were DTMA-271, DTMA-15, DTMA-281 and DTMA-295 could be used in breeding programs.

Soğuk hava depoları, gıdaların tazeliklerinin korunması hususunda büyük öneme sahiptir. Gıdaların besin değerlerini koruyabilmeleri, oda havasının doğru sıcaklık ve nemde şartlandırılmasına bağlıdır. Sıcaklık ve nem dengesi evaporatörlerden ortama sağlanan şartlandırılmış hava ile gerçekleştirilir. Bu çalışmada; soğuk hava depolarında, soğuk havanın depo ortamına dağılımını sağlamak amacıyla kullanılan evaporatörlerin odaya yerleşim yerlerinin, sıcaklık ve hız dağılımlarına hava akışının sebep olduğu ürün kayıplarına etkisi incelenmiştir.

Deneysel çalışma, içerisinde narenciye bulunan soğuk odada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deneysel çalışmalarda elde edilen veriler, aynı depo şartları için CFD programında simüle edilerek karşılaştırılmış ve sonuçların örtüştüğü ve kullanılabilirliği belirlenmiştir. Çeşitli evaporatör konumlandırmaları simüle edilerek, sıcaklıkları ve ürün istifleme şartları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Evaporatörün tek duvarda konumlandırılması durumunda; ürün istiflenmesi ile şartlandırılmış hava dağılımı ve sıcaklık rijit olmamaktadır. Evaporatörlerin dar duvarlarda karşılıklı konumlandırılması durumunda, ürün istiflemesinin deponun orta kısmında ve uygun aralıklarda yapılmasının daha uygun olacağı belirlenmiştir. Evaporatör yerleşiminin geniş tek duvarlarda olması, sıcaklığın eşit dağılmasını sağlarken diğer yandan üründe nem kaybına sebep olabilir.

Soğuk hava tesisi kurulması esnasında veya mevcut soğuk odalarda, ürün istifleme biçimleri ile hava akımlarının ve sıcaklık dağılımlarının öncelikle CFD analiz programıyla simüle edilmesi, ürün kayıplarında azalma, enerji tasarrufu, zaman ve işletme maliyetinde kazanımlar elde edileceği düşünülmektedir.

Published: June 2022

“Public Policy Analysis” involves in the evaluation of issues of public importance with objective of providing facts and statistics about extent and impact of different policies of Government. Nowadays, public policy analysis is undertaken by scholars from different applied physical and biological sciences (e.g. technology assessments, environmental impact studies, seismic risk analyses, etc.). Presently, the focus is on public policy analysis as it is conducted within the social and behavioural sciences, mainly Political Science, Sociology and Economics. Generally, the public policy addresses real or sensed problems, so the public policy analysis is mostly devoted to defining or clarifying the problems and assessing the needs. Main objective of public policy analysis is to assess the degree to which policies are meeting their aims. Policy analysis plays an important role to define and outline the aims of a proposed policy, and also has role to identify the similarities and differences in expected outcomes and estimated costs with competing the alternative policies. Several public policies are formulated to solve both the current and future problems, and so the policy analysis attempts to forecast future requirements based on present concomitant with the past conditions. A large number of works in the field of public policy analysis involves for the development of the conceptual schemes or typologies which help to sort out different types of policies, or analyses of policies. Many literatures on public policy analysis, and especially on impact evaluation are chiefly methodological in character; indeed, many recent innovations in research procedure have been developed by research scholars working on applied problems. Many texts in ‘evaluation research’ recommend an assessment of the ‘evaluability’ of the programme prior to initiate the evaluation itself. ‘Implementation analysis’ is an essential component of all capable policy evaluations. ‘Utilisation’ is an ongoing problem in the field of evaluation research. Evaluation results affect the public policy by serving as the impetus for public discourse and debate which form social policy, rather than through extensive programme termination or reform.

Published: June 2022

Earlier, it has been convincingly established that exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) alters the T cell-mediated immunity in the long term. However, a search for papers describing the effect chronic exposure to radiation has on various subpopulations of T-helpers yielded no results. Therefore, we designed this study seeking to investigate the quantitative characteristics of various subpopulations of T-helpers in the peripheral blood of individuals chronically exposed to low-level radiation for a long period of time. The study involved 102 chronically exposed Techa Riverside residents (Russia) aged 60–87 years. The participants were divided into two groups, one comprised of exposed individuals with the average red bone marrow (RBM) irradiation dose of 567 ± 73 mGy, another, the control group, comprised of people with the irradiation dose below 70 mGy. With the help of flow cytometry, we identified the quantitative characteristics of T-helper subpopulations in the peripheral blood at various stages of their differentiation, as well as various T-helper subpopulations of central and effector memory. The study revealed no significant differences in the composition of T-helper subpopulations in the compared groups. We discovered a significant growth of the double positive follicular T-helper 17 subpopulation in the population of central memory T-helpers, which is associated with the increase of RBM (p = 0.04; S = 0.19), thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs (p = 0.03; S = 0.22) irradiation dose. In the group of exposed individuals, the number of naive T-helpers (p = 0.009) and double positive follicular T-helpers 17 in the TEM subpopulation (p = 0.04) was decreasing as the age of participants increased, and the number of effector memory T-helpers, on the contrary, increased with age (p = 0.04). We have not registered similar phenomena in the comparison group.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho agronômico de espécies forrageiras anuais de inverno e o efeito de diferentes coberturas vegetais sobre a produtividade do milho cultivado em sucessão na região da Zona da Mata Mineira. Foram avaliados três cultivos hibernais: Aveia-branca (Avena sativa L.), azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) e trigo (Triticum aestivum L.), sob sistemas de semeadura direta. Com a aveia-branca e o azevém objetivou-se a obtenção de forragem de alta qualidade, aporte de fitomassa, em comparação com o cultivo do trigo como cultura alternativa e seus efeitos na produtividade do milho cultivado em sucessão. O estudo foi dividido em fase I: cultivos hibernais (azevém, aveia branca e trigo) e fase II: milho. Nas forrageiras de inverno, foi realizada simulação de pastejo usando como critério, a altura do dossel, utilizando o conceito do pastoreio rotatínuo. Na fase II, avaliou-se a produtividade de grãos e as relações com a fitossociologia de plantas daninhas da área em função das coberturas do solo. Os dados para cada variável foram analisados por meio da metodologia de modelos mistos, submetidos à análise de variância e comparados pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. A partir dos dados analisados verificou-se que houve interação da massa de forragem de aveia branca x corte (P=<0.0001). Não houve diferença entre as espécies aveia-branca e azevém, quanto à massa de matéria seca de forragem acumulada de 6.733 kg ha -1 . Quanto à produção de fitomassa não verificou diferença das espécies azevém e aveia-branca foi de 8441 kg ha - 1 . Os cultivos hibernais aveia-branca e azevém mostraram desempenho agronômico satisfatórios para produção de fitomassa e aporte de resíduos. O trigo obteve uma produção de grãos esperada para a variedade, além de um aporte de resíduos semelhante as demais culturas de inverno. A análise das plantas daninhas no cultivo do milho com a sucessão das culturas de inverno aveia branca e azevém apresentaram maior redução da diversidade florística de plantas daninhas presentes na área e o azevém ainda foi mais eficiente no controle de plantas daninhas do gênero Cyperus. Os cultivos hibernais em estudo com sucessão à cultura do milho mostraram ser uma estratégia viável para implantação de sistema integrado de produção na região da Zona da Mata Mineira.

Abstract
Objectives: To study the level of physical activity of Pakistani labourers in Saudi Arabia, and to find its relationship with body mass index.
Method: The observational study was conducted inside the Pakistan Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from October 2017 to March 2018, and comprised Pakistani males aged 22-60 years doing unskilled and semi-skilled jobs. Body mass index was calculated, and the level of physical activity was assessed using the short form International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results: There were 130 subjects with mean age of 33.53±7.9 years. There were 109(83.8%) subjects aged <40 years, and 21(16.2%) were aged 40 years. Mean body mass index of the sample was 26.13±5.29kg/m². Overall, 71(54.6%) participants were insufficiently active having energy expenditure <600 metabolic equivalent of task in minutes per week. No statistically significant result was found when total energy expenditure was considered (p0.05), but significant result was found for energy expenditure due to ‘walk alone’ (p0.05). Significant correlation was found between profession and overall energy expenditure and job-related energy expenditure. Significant but weak positive correlation was found between body mass index and walk-related energy expenditure (r=0.279, p0.001).
Conclusion: Mean body mass index of the sample was high compared to South Asian cut-off values, and the level physical activity was very low, but the findings failed to show an inverse relationship between physical activity level and body mass index.

THE PROBLEMS OF THE POETIC IMAGE OF ABU TAMMAM
Authors: ABDUL RIDHA Bushra Salam
Published: June 2022

Critics and scholars differed in Abi Tammam’s poetry in the past and the present between supporters and opponents, as his poetry represents a critical material that was and is still the subject of criticism and controversy to this day. As we look at his poetic image by considering it the ideal artistic means for conveying the poet’s experience, and embodying the content of that experience; because of its ability to interrogate the reader, and make him meditate about it in order to interpret and understand it. In this research, we shed the light on the problems of the poetic image of a poet who was deeply in love with the types of the art of figures of speech, and he was extravagant in employing the embellishments in his poetry, not shying from the exaggeration of odd words taken out from their familiar linguistic meaning to figurative, which made his poetry the focus of the attention of critics and researchers. The research presents several features found in Abu Tammam’s poetry that dressed his poetic images with mystery and strangeness, including the immersion in metaphors, and exaggeration in embellishment arts such as alliteration and analogy and others, in addition to the use of strange words, as well as exaggeration in description (accompanied by poetic evidences indication those characteristics), which led to the departure of his poetry from the ordinary, so there are many possibilities inherent in its connotations to address the mind before the conscience. The research also stops at the poet’s life and upbringing, and the impact of that on refining his talent and the brilliance of his poetics, as the poet’s upbringing in an era that witnessed a great cultural renaissance that included various aspects of life, in addition to what distinguished his person of a brilliant mentality and a broad culture that derive from his interest in poetry and his passion for itm to be shown in the poetic output he left behind, which made his poetic images a subject in the old and contemporary critical study. Key words: The Administrative Decision, Images of Deviation.

Background: Research examining undergraduate nursing students’ duty to care during the COVID-19 pandemic is lacking, thus presenting many challenges in nursing education. Significance: This research adds to the literature about nursing students’ duty to care and willingness to respond in the clinical setting early in the COVID-19 pandemic. This research will inform nurse leaders and regulators on ways to safely mobilize a nursing workforce to fill critical nursing roles needed during a pandemic. Methodology: This research study utilized a descriptive, cross-sectional design. The Nash Duty to Care Scale© was used to examine nursing students’ duty to care early in the COVID-19 pandemic at two nursing programs in New York. Results: Most of the nursing students (65.8%) reported a duty to care or a willingness to respond during the COVID-19 pandemic. Perceived obligation and perceived risk were the most predictive subscales between the low and high duty to care groups. Conclusions and recommendations: It is suggested that nursing schools maintain adequate emergency response resources (i.e. personal protective equipment and effective communication) for students in the clinical setting. Enhanced academic and practice partnerships with clear and specific nursing student policies and procedures are needed.

Esta Nota Técnica objetiva comentar e analisar os resultados obtidos por três estudos apresentados recentemente sobre a questão da tributação no setor de cigarros industriais. Os três trabalhos em foco desta Nota Técnica são: uma análise custo-benefício estendida da tributação do tabaco no Brasil; avaliação dos efeitos da Reforma Tributária do Tabaco do PL 3887/2020; avaliação da reforma tributária do tabaco e os efeitos do mercado ilícito no Brasil. É necessário realçar que a base desta Nota Técnica recai sobre o trabalho (1), pois esse é um estudo científico onde são apresentados a teoria, dados, métodos utilizados, além da proposta para o setor de cigarros. Os outros dois artigos são mais retóricos, pois não apresentam os métodos nem os resultados econométricos, os quais são fundamentais quando se analisa o setor de tabaco, apesar de serem derivados do artigo 1. Resumindo, o fundamental a ser analisado se refere ao primeiro artigo.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a deep learning based generative model. GANs are a model for training a generative model and it is common to use deep learning models. Generative Adversarial Network(GANs) are a powerful class of neural networks that are used for unsupervised learning. GANs are basically made up of two competing neural network models which compete with each other and are able to analyze, capture and copy the variations within dataset. GANs achieve high level realism by pairing a generator which learns to produce a target output with a discriminator which learns to distinguish true data from the output of the generator. GANs used for Image Synthesis generates high resolution images. Text to face generation is a sub domain of text to image synthesis, and it has a huge impact along with the wide range of applications on public safety domain. Our proposed fully trained GAN outperformed by generating the good quality images with accordance to the input sentence. StackGAN aims at generating high resolution photorealistic images. The Stage-I GAN sketches the primitive shape and colors of a scene based on a given text description, yielding low-resolution images. The Stage-II GAN takes Stage-I results and the text description as inputs, and generates high-resolution images with photo-realistic details.

The most frequently occurring cancer among Indian women is breast cancer. There is a chance of fifty percent for fatality in a case as one of two women diagnosed with breast cancer deaths in the cases of Indian women. This paper aims to present a comparison of the largely popular machine learning algorithms and techniques commonly used for breast cancer prediction, namely Random Forest, KNN (k-Nearest-Neighbor), Support Vector Machine, and XG Boost techniques. The Wisconsin Diagnosis Breast Cancer data set was used as a training set to compare the performance of the various machine learning techniques in terms of key parameters such as accuracy and precision. The results obtained are very competitive and can be used for detection and treatment. Breast cancer disease causes a massive number of deaths in the world. After the traditional cancer detection methods, the latest technologies enable experts with numerous adaptive methods to discover breast cancer in women. Breast cancer affects the majority of women worldwide, and it is the second most common cause of death among women. Breast cancer is among the most serious illnesses/diseases in India, causing many deaths in the current situation. Due to changes in food and lifestyle, the number of cancer cases in women is increasing day by day. Different types of machine learning are implemented for the prediction of breast cancer with a high accuracy rate. We develop different machine learning algorithms for the prediction of breast cancer.

Bank plays intermediary role which is very important for the development of any nation that can be affected by the non-performing loan. This study investigated the macroeconomic determinants of non-performing loans in Bangladesh using the time series data from 1990 to 2020 collected from Bangladesh Bank, Bangladesh bureau of statistics, World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) data on World economic outlook and International Labour Organization (ILO) Statistics. The time series is chosen from 1990 to 2020 because of expansion of private commercial banks and availability of data of gross loans and amount of Non-performing loan amounts. The dependent variable considered in this study was percentage of non-performing loan to gross loan (NPL) and the independent variables were gross domestic product growth rate (GDPGR), inflation (INF), lending rate (LR), exchange rate (ER), money supply to gross domestic product (M2GDP) and unemployment rate (UR). NPL was positively influenced by GDPGR, LR and ER and negatively influenced by INF, M2GDP and UR. The government should direct its monetary and fiscal policies towards reducing Non-Performing Loans by creating an environment for business growth for the provision of social and infrastructural facilities.

Customer retention and satisfaction are the most important objectives and indicators of a company's success in today's world, and monitoring them is one of the most important management jobs. The modified SERVQUAL model was used to examine service quality and its impact on customer satisfaction and retention in the Ghanaian shipping industry. The study used a quantitative research approach and a non-probability sampling method. The demographic data was evaluated using frequencies and percentages, while the measurement and structural model were evaluated using Partial Least Square in Smart PLS 3.2.9. Assurance and responsiveness both have a detrimental influence on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction has also been demonstrated to influence customer retention. Empathy, reliability, and tangibility were shown to have a beneficial impact on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction was unaffected by the delivery service's quality or the personnel's competence. The study adds to the body of knowledge on customer service quality, as well as customer satisfaction (CS) and customer retention (CR). Examining the many parts of the SERVQUAL model and their impact on CS and CR is critical for the establishment of an effective organization, especially in the shipping sector, as this study illustrates the main variables.

Introdução: A Leptospirose é uma doença que tem como agente etiológico a bactéria do gênero Leptospira, possuindo um espectro de manifestações clínicas variadas que podem ser assintomáticas ou graves. A infecção na população humana está diretamente associada ao meio ambiente, meio de transmissão e o contato com de atividades de risco, assim a doença pode ocorrer por contato direto com a urina contaminada, sangue ou tecido infectado de reservatórios de animais, ou indiretamente através de água e solo contaminados. Objetivo: Expor de forma epidemiológica a incidência de leptospirose na população da região metropolitana de Belém-Pa. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo analítico epidemiológico, sobre leptospirose, os dados foram obtidos por meio do portal do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação online (SINAN Online), no período de 2013 a 2021, no Estado do Pará. Resultados: Foram contabilizados 3.434 casos notificados e desses, 633 foram confirmados. O sexo mais acometido foi o masculino, o grupo etário com maior ocorrência foi 20-39 anos e o critério de confirmação dos casos confirmados mais utilizado foi o clínico-laboratorial. Foram registrados 351 casos da doença em indivíduos com a 5° a 8° série incompleta do ensino fundamental. Com uma maior predominância nos bairros Guamá, Pedreira, Marambaia, Marco e Tapanã O que sugere a associação dos casos com situação de moradia e infraestrutura sanitárias, onde os fatores de riscos para a sua transmissão estão associados a favelas urbanas, ou seja, locais com infraestrutura precária nas condições de domicílio e peridomicílio, interligadas com as elevadas infestações por roedores. Conclusão: Nesse sentido, é inegável a importância e necessidade de políticas públicas para melhor qualidade de vida da população, incluindo educação ambiental, manejo adequado do lixo, saneamento básico, dessa forma, haverá prevenção a saúde da população belenense.
