Authors: Debnath Rakhi , Hanif Md. Abu , Sarker Bidhan Chandro
Published: September 2022

The field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of primary nutrients (NPK) on growth, yield and yield attributes of mungbean. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications and consisted of four level of primary nutrients (N:P:K) viz. F *0 = no NPK added, F1 = 8:10:12 kg ha-1, F2 = 16:20:24 kg ha-1 and F3 = 24:30:36 kg ha[1]1 of N:P:K. Increasing the levels of primary nutrients significantly influence the growth, yield and yield attributes of mungbean except stover yield and harvest index. The highest plant height, number of pod plant-1, weight of seed plant-1 and seed yield were obtained from 16:20:24 kg N:P:K ha-1 whereas 24:30:36 kg N:P:K ha-1 produced the highest number of leaf plant-1, number of branch plant-1, seed pod-1, weight of seed pod-1 and 1000-seed weight. Increased rate of nutrients increased the pod plant-1, seed weight pod-1 and seed yield up to N:P:K @ 16:20:24 kg ha-1 and then declined. From the results of this study it could be suggested that application of primary nutrients (N:P:K) @ 16:20:24 kg ha-1 optimum for BARI mung-6 at Batiaghata upazila in Khulna district of southwestern Bangladesh
DIABETIC RETINOPATHY LESION DETECTION FROM MULTISPECTRAL RETINAL IMAGES THROUGH NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: Rahaman G M Atiqur , Ali S.M. Riasat , Paul Soma
Published: September 2022

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the fastest growing dysfunctions of human retina. Significant research has been conducted using RGB fundus imaging for automatic detection of retinal lesions affected by DR. However, due to only three imaging bands, the accuracy from RGB fundus images is unlikely to improve any further. In contrast to RGB imaging, multispectral imaging has the key advantage of multiple narrow wavelength bands that can be used as spectral features to improve the detection accuracy. Nevertheless, the inter and intra-retinal variation of color, contrast, and illumination is a challenge to process the multispectral images. In this study, a complete framework is proposed to develop and evaluate methods for automatic detection of DR lesions. A multispectral retinal image database, DIARETSPECDB1, is investigated in order to detect the most common DRs such as Microaneurysms (MA), Hard Exudates (HE) and Hemorrhages (HEM). The reflectance values of the spectral bands are used as features of a three-layer basic neural network (NN) to determine the baseline performance of multispectral data instead of any advanced model. According to the results, the model outperforms existing technique producing overall accuracy 94.5%, and the obtained specificity/sensitivity is 0.95/0.89, 0.97/0.89, and 0.88/0.84 for MAs, HEs and HEMs, respectively.

Collezioni e collezionisti di reperti archeologici in Basilicata tra il XVIII e gli inizi del XX secolo
Authors: Donnici Fabio
Published: September 2022

Ad oggi non esistono in letteratura studi specificatamente dedicati al collezionismo privato di antichità in Basilicata, al contrario di quanto avvenuto in altre regioni limitrofe del Meridione d’Italia. Eppure, ad un’attenta disamina delle fonti bibliografiche e archivistiche – queste ultime per lo più inedite – disponibili, appare evidente come questo territorio molto ricco sotto il profilo archeologico abbia in realtà conosciuto, tra il XVIII e gli inizi del XX secolo, numerose ed importanti esperienze collezionistiche a livello locale. Nel presente contributo si cercherà per la prima volta non solo di enuclearne sistematicamente episodi e protagonisti principali, ma anche di delinearne alcune linee di tendenza generali e seguirne l’evoluzione di forme e contenuti nel corso del tempo. L’intento che si vuole perseguire, in altre parole, è quello di giungere ad una messa a fuoco della “cultura collezionistica” lucana, la quale pare perfettamente inserirsi e trovare ragion d’essere nella più ampia cultura antiquaria italiana e europea del periodo considerato, offrendo al contempo nuovi dati per la conoscenza di una delle sue espressioni più peculiari: la pratica di ricercare e raccogliere testimonianze materiali del passato al fine di elaborare nuove costruzioni identitarie nel presente.
«Une des figures les plus originales de Milan»: l’antiquario Giuseppe Baslini (1817-1887)
Authors: Colombi Martina
Published: September 2022

L’articolo si propone di indagare le numerose sfaccettature di un personaggio cruciale per il mercato dell’arte europeo del XIX secolo, a cui gli studi non hanno ancora rivolto la dovuta attenzione: l’antiquario Giuseppe Baslini. Ricordato dai contemporanei per l’eccezionale talento da connoisseur e la spregiudicata astuzia negli affari, Baslini fu probabilmente il più importante mercante milanese del secondo Ottocento. La sua bottega in via Montenapoleone 11 divenne riferimento e luogo di richiamo per restauratori, collezionisti e travelling agents di tutta Europa. Fu consulente e fornitore delle collezioni milanesi Poldi Pezzoli e Bagatti Valsecchi, che beneficiarono della poliedricità dei suoi interessi, ma anche della National Gallery di Londra e della Gemäldegalerie di Berlino. Il suo «perfido commercio», come pure il ruolo di mediatore presso gallerie e collezioni private, sono documentati dalle lettere di Giovanni Morelli e Austen Henry Layard, dai taccuini di viaggio di Charles Eastlake e Otto Mündler e dall’autobiografia di Wilhelm von Bode. La restituzione delle vicende biografiche e professionali dell’antiquario, attraverso lo studio di documenti d’archivio inediti, lettere, fatture e cataloghi d’asta, ha rivelato una personalità intrigante e controversa, importante tramite per ricostruire relazioni e provenienze collezionistiche sino a oggi ignote.

The System of Sources of Law
Authors: Lukács Krisztina
Published: September 2022

This chapter aims to analyse the system of sources of law in the countries of the CEE region through a comparative constitutional lens. To this end, it first attempts to present and clarify some fundamental concepts that are necessary and relevant to examine the system of sources of law. Subsequently, it outlines the development of the various systems of sources of law from a historical perspective. In light of this general overview, the chapter then turns to each system of sources of law of this region to map and explore them in a comparative way. Accordingly, it describes the major characteristics of legal norms at various levels of the norm hierarchy as well as how they create a system of sources of law. Furthermore, it examines the place and role of international law and EU law. Finally, it outlines how states in the region provide access to legal norms in their respective systems.
Electoral Systems
Authors: Kurunczi Gábor
Published: September 2022

The present study compares the electoral systems of the eight countries analysed in this volume based on the specifics of Central Eastern Europe. As a starting point, the study examines the expectations of the electoral system, e.g. the purpose of displaying the will of the electorate as accurately as possible, ensuring stable governance, and aspects such as the size of the country, its traditions or other political considerations. The study undertakes a comparative analysis of the electoral systems of each country primarily on the following issues: how do the electoral system and the political system of a given country interact? How are active and passive voters defined? What are the social reasons for the parliamentary representation of minorities? What impact have these rules had on electoral systems? What common features and differences can be discovered in each national electoral system? How can a given electoral system be evaluated among proportional-majority systems? The chapter concludes that the regulation of electoral systems is always country-specific and in line with social and historical traditions. It is therefore not possible to mechanically take over the electoral system of other countries in any country as some of its elements will not necessarily be compatible with the specificities of the others. The history of the eight countries analysed (the legacy of communism, the ‘problem’ of nationality) shows several points of connection, even though their electoral systems are not uniform. Although most countries – in line with European trends – have proportional electoral systems, these have many different regulations. By comparison, in Hungary (or even in Romania), legislators took a completely different approach in defining the electoral systems after the change of regime. It can thus be stated that the definition of the electoral system is one of the most national issues, where standards can and should be set, but these standards only provide a basis for comparability rather than accountability.

The students at Matric level commit certain errors in English writing.
This research was conducted to find out the errors committed by the metric
students at Tehsil Rustam. A total of 60 students – top 20 students were selected
from the top three schools of Tehsil Rustam. They were given the task to write
on three topics namely “My school”, “My best friend” and “My favourite
teacher”. To analyze the errors of the students, the researcher applied “Darus
et al model of Error analysis theory”. The errors of the students were categorized
and put into bar charts and pie charts. The researcher noted that the errors
committed by these students are partly due to the effect of first language (L1) on
second language (L2) and partly due to word by word translation either from
the mother tongue (Pashto) or the national language (Urdu) to English.

Religieus geloof en religieuze verbondenheid in Europa
Authors: Reitsma Jan , Pelzer Ben , Scheepers Peer , Schilderman Hans
Published: September 2022

This paper investigates (trends and determinants of) individual combinations of religious believing and belonging in Europe from a cross-national and longitudinal perspective. Individual level data for the period 1981-2007 in 42 countries derived from the European Values Survey and the European Social Survey are harmonised and enriched with contextual characteristics, constituting a more comprehensive data base for Europe than any previous research. Complementary hypotheses from modernization and market theories are derived systematically and tested rigorously. We find differential trends. In western societies, the popularity of secularity and consistent religiosity has persisted. In former communist societies, the popularity of consistent religiosity has increased whereas secularity has decreased. In both western and former communist societies, solitary religiosity has been a clear yet small phenomenon, somewhat increasing in western societies and somewhat decreasing in former communist societies. A crucial hypothesis derived from modernization theories, stating that financial and social security would decrease consistent religiosity is empirically supported.
Geestelijke verzorging als casus van de ontkerkelijking
Authors: Schilderman Hans
Published: September 2022

This contribution offers an exploration of spiritual care as a professional discipline that profiled itself during the eighties of last century in the Netherlands as a typical provision that deals with vital questions, issues of meaning and existential problems of patients and clients from the perspective of their religion or philosophy of life. In settings of defence, justice and healthcare, provisions for spiritual care are increasingly confronted with the consequences of declining church attendance and secularization, which this contribution aims to clarify by analysing some problems of legitimation, professionalization and public policymaking. The double bind in spiritual care which requires commitments to the requirements of church and care illustrates an ongoing struggle to offer the best care possible while dealing with the opportunities and threats emerging from the rapidly changing landscapes of both religion and care in Dutch society. A final paragraph offers some suggestions for repertoire development in spiritual care.

The population is all alumni of the Faculty of Economics, Unika Santo Thomas, Medan. A sample of 96 respondents, data collection techniques using questionnaires, documentation and interviews, data analysis techniques referring to Miles & Huberman (1992: 16) with three flow of activities that occur simultaneously, namely: data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing/verification. The results showed that interest in entrepreneurship during the Covid-19 pandemic among alumni of the Faculty of Economics, Unika Santo Thomas, Medan, was higher, namely 56 respondents compared to interest in working as an employee during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was 40 respondents. The reason respondents chose to be interested in entrepreneurship is because during the Covid-19 pandemic, many companies have reduced the number of employees or terminated their employment relationship. With entrepreneurship, they will open up new job opportunities for people affected by Covid-19. And they also want to be free to manage their own work. The reason respondents chose interest in working as an employee is because by working as an employee they will get a steady income every month. Even though during the Covid-19 pandemic, many companies or agencies have reduced the number of employees, the respondents will remain firm in their stance and will be more active in preparing themselves to compete in the world of work. To conduct a comparative analysis of interest in entrepreneurship and working as an employee during the COVID-19 pandemic, an in-depth evaluation should be carried out by adding an indicator of questions about the reasons for alumni to become entrepreneurs and work as employees and increase the number of respondents observed.

The sample size was 96 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis method used descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression and to test the hypothesis used t test and F test. The results showed the multiple regression equation: LM = 6.337 + .032PM + .755KPM + .119KM + .030RM + .163KPP, meaning that all observed independent variables have a positive influence on brand loyalty. The variable that has a greater influence is the brand preference variable than the other variables. With the t test there are two variables that are not significant, namely the brand predictability variable and brand reputation with t value < t table. While the other three variables, namely brand preference, brand competence and trust in the company have a significant influence on Honda brand loyalty. While the calculated F value = 51.065 > F table, this means that the variables of brand predictability, brand preference, brand competence, brand reputation and trust in the company have a significant influence simultaneously on Honda brand loyalty. The value of the correlation coefficient of brand predictability, brand preference, brand competence, brand reputation and trust in the company to brand loyalty has a strong relationship of r = 0.826. While the coefficient of determination is 0.682 which means that the variables of brand predictability, brand preference, brand competence, brand reputation and trust in the company are able to explain 68.2% of brand loyalty while 31.8% is influenced by other factors. It is advisable for PT Astra Honda Motor to increase the variables of brand preference (KPM), brand competence (KM), and trust in the company (KPP) which have a positive influence on brand loyalty. Then PT Astra Honda Motor needs to improve the variables related to brand predictability (PM) and brand reputation (RM) because they do not have a positive influence on Honda brand loyalty. Based on the correlation coefficient value of the brand predictability variable, brand preference, brand competence, brand reputation and trust in the company to brand loyalty have a strong relationship of r = 0.826.
