Published: July 2023

The purpose of this literature review is to identify, categorize, and critically appraise research papers related to mobile apps for visually impaired people in language learning. This study intended to identify the language skills, the affordances, and the limitations encountered while designing and implementing the apps. Hence, a systematic review in the Scopus database and the virtual libraries of IEEE, SAGE, ERIC, and Science Direct, adhering to the PRISMA methodology, produced 274 research papers, and after the application of the different phases, a detailed analysis was performed using 17 articles. The results revealed that Information Communication Technologies, assistive technologies, and electronic accessibility features contributed to the usability guidelines and the current evolution toward modern language learning mobile applications for visually impaired users. The revised work also revealed how writing, reading, and spelling became more demanding for this particular special need, and that grammar-based and traditional activities are replaced by other communicative approaches. The emphasis was on speaking and listening skills due to these being less demanding in terms of technical requirements. The findings of this review provide insights for instructional designers to construct inclusive language learning apps which consider the three essential dimensions needed to achieve it: technological, pedagogical and psychological, in addition to appropriate affordances necessary for both sighted and visually impaired users.

TİMBUKTU’YA İLMÎ VE KÜLTÜREL AÇIDAN BAKMAK
Authors: Güzel Emine
Published: July 2023

İlk zikredildiğinde savaş, açlık, kıtlık, fakirlik, hastalık, çöl ve sömürgeleştirilmiş olması gibi hususlarla ilişkilendirilen Afrika ülkeleri, son zamanlarda zengin tarihi ve kültürel mirasa ev sahipliği yapan Timbuktu’yla yeniden gündem olmaya başlamıştır. Sahip olduğu bu tarihi ve kültürel birikimin geçmişten günümüze dile getirilmediği ve herhangi bir tarihe sahip olmayan bir kıta olarak tanıtılan Afrika’nın aslında böyle olmadığının en önemli göstergesi Timbuktu olmuştur. Nitekim Batı Afrika’nın İslamlaştırılmasının ardından Timbuktu, bir ilim ve kültür merkezi haline gelmiştir. Timbuktu, İslami ilimlerin yanı sıra asrın diğer ilimlerinin de görüldüğü merkezî bir konuma sahip olmuştur. O dönemin sultanları tarafından İslam dünyasının önde gelen âlimlerinin buraya davet edilmesiyle bölgedeki ilmi otoritesi daha da artmıştır. Bu durum düşüncelerin Afrika’nın ortasındaki bir çöl kentinde pek çok kütüphane ve sayısız el yazmasının nasıl bir araya getirildiği, nasıl muhafaza edilip günümüze kadar aktarılabildiği, dahası Timbuktu’nun Afrika’nın ilim ve kültür merkezi haline dönüşmesinin sırrı üzerinde yoğunlaşmasına neden olmuştur.
Bu çalışmamızda Timbuktu şehrinin Afrika’nın ilim ve kültür merkezi haline dönüşümü ve bu dönüşümün asıl kahramanı olan genelde Afrika, özelde Timbuktu geçmişini aydınlatacak pek çok bilgiye ulaşabileceğimiz el yazması kitaplar üzerinde durulmuştur. Bölgenin ekonomi, ticaret ve sömürge haline gelişine de değindiğimiz bu çalışmamızda, ayrıca bölgede var olan tarihi yapılara da yer verilmiştir. Söz konusu el yazmaları ve tarihi yapılar üzerinde yapılan çalışmaların azlığı da göz önünde bulundurulduğunda bölge üzerinde yapılacak araştırmaların önemi artmaktadır. Amacımız bölgenin tarihi zenginline dikkat çekerek konuyla ilgili yapılacak çalışmalara az da olsa bir kapı aralamaktır.

Metallic Bhasmas: A Review on Chemical Characterization, Particle Size and Toxicity
Authors: Garg A. N. , Kumar A.
Published: July 2023

Bhasmas are unique metallic-herbal preparations of Indian origin, widely recommended for the treatment of chronic ailments. These intriguing formulations of metals are associated with organic macromolecules derived from the medicinal herbs. Bhasmas are often prepared by repeated incineration of metals with herbs and its extracts by alchemic processes and are taken along with honey, milk, butter, or ghee. Besides primary constituent of metals, bhasmas also contain other metals as minor constituent or in traces. Commercially available seventeen bhasmas based on Ca, Fe, Zn, Hg, Cu, As, Ag and Sn were characterized by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for up to 20 elements. The technique involves irradiation of the sample with thermal neutrons in a nuclear reactor followed by assay of gamma activity by high-resolution gamma ray spectrometry. Concentrations of major, minor, and trace elements vary in a wide range even in bhasmas of the same primary element depending on its preparation method. C, H, and S were also found in significant amounts suggesting the possible presence of organic macromolecules that may act as ligands. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies have shown that the bhasmas as available in the market are not really nano particles contrary to claims of some literature reports. Westerners think bhasmas to be highly toxic especially those of As, Hg, and Pb, highly toxic elements. Still bhaasms of these elements are widely recommended. Clinical evidences suggest that the bhasmas taken in small doses are highly beneficial to the body system and do not cause any adverse effects. It is essential to follow quality control in the preparation of bhasmas. A review of our earlier work is also presented.

Authors: Dimya K. , Potangale M. N.
Published: July 2023

The present study deals with adsorption of Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution using chitosan (CHI) and activated carbon (ACC) as adsorbents. Several parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, concentration of adsorbate and radiation dose were varied to achieve an optimized adsorption of the metal ions. It was concluded that maximum removal of Ni (II) ions (92.2%) using CHI was observed at pH 3, dosage 1 g and contact time 240 min. Maximum removal of Ni (II) ions (82.3%) was achieved using ACC at pH 2, dosage 2.5 g for 120 min. The percentage removal of Ni (II) ions increases slightly after irradiation with Co-60. The adsorbents were characterized before and after irradiation and adsorption using FTIR and SEM techniques which clearly indicated the occurrence of adsorption of metal ions. Harkin-Jura and Jovanovic isotherms study indicated multilayer adsorption. The adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics.
Challenges of Students with Speech-Language and Communication Needs in Classroom Interactions at Bilingual Schools
Authors: Chaudhury Tazin Aziz , Arju Sayma
Published: July 2023

An ideal classroom must ensure active students' participation, participative teaching methodologies, the use of technological resources, and teachers’ positive attitudes towards disability. The National Education Policy 2010 attempted to address inclusive education and the implementation strategies of inclusion into the country’s existing education system. Children with specific speech-language and communication needs (SLCN) are frequently placed in mainstream schools with varying degrees of support yet little or almost no attention is paid to the children’s actual problems and their personal educational needs. Bangladesh is still considered a country where speech-language pathology services are not provided within schools, and many of the children's needs are not deemed to be severe enough to access other educational funding or support services. In this study, the authors explored some of the difficulties children with speechlanguage and communication needs face when learning language and interacting with peers in a classroom setting. The research applied a qualitative research method to investigate the learning and schooling experiences of the sample of children. Interviews were conducted with 36 participants including 10 selected children, their parents, and teachers to highlight the challenges of these children in school and the challenges and frustrations the families and teachers faced. An inductive reflective thematic analysis of the data identified sympathetic attitudes of the teachers and peers, equal opportunities for performance in the classroom discussions, guidance from trained teachers and language therapists, and most importantly the introduction of a personal improvement plan are all needed to create a positive environment for students with SLCN to participate in classroom interaction.
The Effect of Metacognitive Instruction on Asynchronous L2 Listening during the Pandemic on EFL Learners
Authors: Kafia Azran Azmee
Published: July 2023

Metacognitive Instruction (MI) is an instructional procedure that increases the learners’ awareness of the listening processes by developing their personal knowledge, task knowledge and strategy knowledge and orchestrating available listening strategies for effective listening in independent settings (Vandergrift & Goh, 2012). This study was carried out during the pandemic to determine if there was any relationship between metacognitive instruction and listening comprehension in increasing Bangladeshi EFL undergraduate learners’ L2 listening performance by manipulating metacognitive strategies; planning, monitoring and evaluation in aligning with metacognitive knowledge, task knowledge and strategy use while listening. It also investigated if metacognitive instruction affected high and low achievers’ performance. For this experimental study, one hundred twenty-four Bangladeshi undergraduate EFL learners in the experimental group (n = 62) and control group (n = 62) received asynchronously metacognitive instruction and traditional instruction based on the product approach, respectively, for five weeks using five transactional listening texts. To gauge any possible changes in listening comprehension, pretest, post-test and metacognitive awareness listening questionnaires (MALQ) were administered. The findings showed that metacognitive instruction and listening comprehension had significant positive relation, and low successful achievers’ level of comprehension improved exponentially.

Published: July 2023

Berbicara mengenai berkat merupakan topic yang tidak pernah habis dibicarakan dalam kalangan orang percaya. Kitab Ibrani 11:6 menjelaskan mengenai bagaimana cara menerima berkat Tuhan dan upaya-upaya yang harus dilakukan. John Bevere dalam bukunya yang berjudul Upah dari Penghormatan menjelaskan mengenai berkat yang harus diusahakan manusia untuk didapatkan. Tulisan ini akan membahas mengenai berkat dalam kitab Ibrani 11:6 dan evaluasi dari pandangan John Bevere ditengah-tengah jemaat. Berkat yang diterima manusia seharusnya mengajarkan manusia untuk hidup mencari Tuhan. Bukan tanpa sebab manusia harus mencari Tuhan untuk mendapatkan berkat karena berkat asalnya dari Tuhan dan Tuhan itu sendiri adalah berkat. Talking about blessings is a topic that is never finished being discussed among believers. The book of Hebrews 11:6 explains how to receive God's blessings and the efforts that must be made. John Bevere in his book entitled Rewards from Honor explains the blessings that humans must strive to obtain. This paper will discuss the blessings in the book of Hebrews 11:6 and an evaluation of John Bevere's view amid the congregation. The blessings received by humans should teach humans to live in search of God. It's not without reason that humans have to seek God to get blessings because blessings come from God and God Himself is a blessing.

Mango production in Bangladesh is enormously affected by the infestation of hopper which punctures and sucks sap from tender shoots, inflorescences, and leaves of mango tree, causing non-setting of fruits and dropping of immature fruits. Control of mango hopper in recent days is solely done by synthetic insecticides. This study was conducted in the laboratory during January to October 2022 to know the toxicity of four commonly used insecticides, namely Desis 2.5 EC (Deltamethrin), Ripcord 10 EC (Cypermethrin), Relothrin 10 EC (Cypermethrin), and Sumithion 50 EC (Fenitrothion) on mango hopper. The doses of Desis 2.5 EC, Ripcord 10 EC and Relothrin 10 EC were prepared as 1200, 1000, 750, 500 and 100 ppm, and Sumithion 50 EC solutions were 2500, 2200, 1500, 1000 and 500 ppm. Results showed that the tested insecticides with their recommended doses revealed 51.4±2.5 to 70.6±1.8% mortality of hopper at 4 hours after treatment where Desis 2.5 EC showed the highest mean mortality of the insect. Desis 2.5 EC also showed the lowest LC50 and LC95 values (426.0 and 4331.4 ppm, respectively at 4 hours after treatment) signifying its higher effectiveness compared to other tested insecticides.

Rugose spiraling whitefly (RSW) Aleurodicus rugioperculagus (Hemiptera: Aleurodidae) is an invasive pest causing severe damage to coconut plant, having higher percent of infestation (70.2% to 165.4%). The nymph and adults suck cell sap from the underside of the leaves and secret honeydew that develop sooty mold fungi and interfere the growth of the plants. It was first identified in Bangladesh in 2019 on coconut plants in Jashore.Then it has spread to almost all other districts in Bangladesh. Highest coconut tree infestation was observed in southwestern part (97.5%) and lowest (68.0%) was in central part of the country and there was no significant difference among locations. In the coastal regions, the highest percent (97.0%) of infested coconut tree, infested fronds (96.2%) and leaflet area (84.0%) was recorded in Bagerhat district while the lowest percent infested tree (68.0%), fronds per tree (67.2%) and leaflet area (48.0%) was in Cox’s Bazar. The abundance of RSW increases as the number of leaves increased. Higher percent tree infestation (85.7%) was noticed in native while it was lower(81.2%) in dwarf coconut plants although no significant difference was observed.Low abundances of adult RSW were also found in dwarf coconut plants than that of native ones. The highest incidence of whitefly of coconut was observed in summer months of April-May andthe lowest was in June-July. Biological control is an effective measure where Encarsia guadeloupae, lady bird beetleand lacewings are common predators and entomopathogenic fungi Isaria fumosorosea reduces the incidenceof RSW from 77.8 to 75.1%. Various cultural and mechanical practices also significantly reduce the pest incidence, infestation, abundance of egg, nymph and adult by 50.0%, 49.9%, 49.7%, 50.1% and 49.8% respectively. Different systemic neonicotinoid insecticides also showed successful result in controlling rugose spiraling whitefly

Ash gourd Benincasa hispida Thumb., a cucurbit vegetable, faces frequent infestation of red pumpkin beetle and cucurbit fruit fly. Farmers in Bangladesh mainly apply conventional synthetic insecticides to protect crops from the attack of these pests. The current study was conducted in the experimental field of the Department of Entomology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during March 2021 to July 2021 to know the effects of five biorational insecticides, namely Biotrin (matrine), Proclaim (emamectin benzoate), Sunmectin (abamectin), Mahogany oil and Neem oil on the abundance and infestation of red pumpkin beetle and fruit fly infesting ash gourd. The insecticides were applied 3 times maintaining 7 days interval. Results showed significant reduction of the insect population compared to untreated control. Sunmectin (1.55±0.34) treated plot showed the lowest abundance of red pumpkin beetle after the 3rd spray with 65% reduction of population compared to untreated control plot. Biotrin (8.59±1.00%) treated plot showed the lowest leaf and flower infestation by red pumpkin beetle after 3rd spray, with the reduction (69% in both) over control. The lowest fruit infestation was found in Sunmectin treated plot (23.01±8.05%). The highest yield of ash gourd (17.9 T/ha) was recorded from Sunmectin treated plot which showed statistical similarity to Proclaim (16.01 T/ha) and Biotrin (15.90 T/ha) treated plots with 3.5, 2.5 and 2.6 benefit cost ratio, respectively. Therefore, it could be concluded that Sunmectin, Proclaim and Biotrin were more effective to control the infestation of red pumpkin beetle and fruit fly of ash gourd than the other tested insecticides.

Cowpea, known as a food crop, demonstrates thrive on land with low soil fertility. Albina IPB is a new superior variety of cowpea with a potential yield of 3.88-4.69 t ha-1. This study aims to evaluate the productivity of Albina based on differences in the number of seeds and fertilization. Minus one test method was applied to find out which nutrients among N, P, and K had the most influence on the growth and production of cowpea. The results showed that one seed per planting hole gave the best results which were significantly different from others, while the combination of three seeds per planting hole with minus K resulted in the lowest growth in general. Nevertheless, anthocyanin in the combination of three seeds per planting hole with minus K produced the highest value, significantly different from the other treatments. These results indicate that element K is a limiting element in the growth of cowpea. However, neither the fertilization treatment nor the number of seeds was significantly different in the yield and yield components. Plant productivity ranged from 0.82-1.42 t ha-1 for all treatments.

The study was conducted in the farmer’s mustard field near the campus of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur-5200, Bangladesh from November 2020 to March 2021 to identify the insects involved in pollination of mustard and to know their relative abundance. A total number of 24 pollinator insects belonging to 15 families (Apidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae, Scoliidae, Tenthredinidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Rhiniidae, Syrphidae, Arctiide, Crambidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Plutellidae and Coccinellidae) and 4 orders (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera) were observed associated with mustard (Brassica rapa) crop on BARI Sarisha-17. Among the orders, the Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera were found as 49.8%, 42.0%, 7.4% and 0.6%, respectively. However, Hymenopterans insects were evident the pre-dominant floral visitors. Indian honey bee, Apis cerana showed the highest abundance (23.2%) followed by Rock bee, Apis dorsata (13.8%), Rhiniid blowfly, Stomorhina sp. (10.5%).

The production of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.)] is adversely affected by drought in the tropics and sub-tropics. This study investigated the physiological responses of six mungbean varieties viz. BUmug 2, BUmug 4, BARI Mung-5, BARI Mung-6, Binamoog-5 and Binamoog-8 to non-stress (80% of field capacity) and water deficit (50% of field capacity) conditions. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design having four replications at the research field of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur. The variety Binamoog-5 showed the highest level of physiological parameters related to drought tolerance, such as proline content (32.57%), xylem exudation (577.00 mg hr-1 and 383.70 mg hr-1) and total chlorophyll content (2.65 mg g-1 and 2.81 mg g-1) at preflowering and pod development stage, photosynthesis (38.94 μmol m-2 s-1 CO2 ), transpiration (15.00 mg H2 O/dm2 /h), and relative water content (66.14%), whereas that showed the lowest level of cell membrane thermostability (63.8%) under water stressed condition, followed by Binamoog-8. The measured physiological characteristics of other varieties were affected noticeably. Therefore, Binamoog-5 may be considered as a resource for drought tolerant genetic material.

A child’s home environment has been shown to be related to the development of early numeracy skills in some countries. However, significant relationships between home learning environment and math achievement have not consistently been found, and likely vary across different cultural and socio-political contexts. Here we explored the home environment and early numeracy skills of 243 children (3-5 years), who were not attending preschool programmes in very low-income settings in Cape Town, South Africa. Caregivers completed a questionnaire including information regarding experiences of children in the home; children completed a number identification task, a counting task and the Give-N task. The amount of resources in the home learning environment (e.g. the number of books and toys), frequency of home learning activities caregivers did with their children, and caregiver levels of education and income were not associated with number knowledge. While the home learning environment has been shown to be important for developing early numeracy skills in previous research, this study suggests that factors other than the home learning environment may also be important targets to foster numeracy skills and school readiness in low-income settings in South Africa.
