THE RIVER BRAHMAPUTRA: ITS IMPACTS ON ASSAMESE CULTURE
Authors: Malakar Madhu Sudan
Published: June 2024

The great River Brahmaputra, coming out of Manas lake is flowing through the heart of Assam from the very ancient era. Not only does it turn Assam a healthy one by its sacred water but also helps greatly in endowing Assam with cultural beauty. Brahmaputra has a deep relation with Assam and Assamese people from several eras. The excess water of rainy season, the wide char areas of dry season, the green areas of both sides of the river and the various big, small rivers and ponds etc. keeps the Assamese race alive with its own features out of whole India.Binanda Chandra Baruah, the Assamese poet observes Brahmaputra as “old” but “universally young”. Not only so, the Brahmaputra is a good sign and always pouring us blessings just like our parents blessings is always with us. “Mangalmay dayar Sagar, Pita-Matas Tumi Desher Pran, Pitri Rupere Anno Jogoya matri Rupere Stondaan”. The Brahmaputra river by spreading its unlimited impact and gift of mercy, helps Assam to be alive as Assam. There is no such subject left like political, geographical, literary, religious and cultural, where more or less impact of god Brahmaputra is not found or felt by the Assamese people. Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee too called Assam the country of Brahmaputra. She says that Assam is the land of the Brahmaputra. In total, a broad side of Assamese culture is covered or occupied by river Brahmaputra. Brahmaputra river works as the basis of Assamese culture

Authors: Pramanik Madhusri , Bachaspati Soham , Mondal Bhabani Prasad , Duary Swarnali , Banik Sagar , Roy Sourav
Published: June 2024

Conventional tillage (CT) is a traditional farming practice that involves mechanically turning over the soil to prepare it for planting crops. While it has been widely practiced for many years, it is increasingly recognized as negatively impacting the environment, economics, and soil health. Conservation Agriculture (CA) is an approach to farming that seeks to improve crop productivity and agricultural systems' sustainability by adhering to three core principles: minimal soil disturbance, retaining crop residues on the surface, and crop rotation. When combined with suitable approaches to crop and soil management, CA systems have been recognized as sustainable, enduring strategies to tackle the depletion of natural resources and the deterioration of environmental conditions within the agricultural industry. CA typically improves soil health and overall crop sustainability through its impact on crop productivity depending on local factors and management practices. CA presents a novel method for attaining sustainable agricultural productivity and is a significant step towards transitioning to sustainable farming practices. Nevertheless, weed control, herbicide resistance, and weed shift pose significant challenges in residue-retained fields. Despite these challenges, CA offers several advantages, including increased water infiltration, reduced soil loss and runoff, and decreased transport of nitrate and phosphorus into water bodies, which curtails water body eutrophication. Additionally, CA is seen as a component of climate-smart agriculture due to its reduced time to seed/plant the next crop, minimal soil disturbance, and decreased fossil fuel consumption, which can help mitigate climate change. Conservation agriculture possesses the capability to capture soil carbon, stimulate soil biodiversity, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and make a contribution to mitigating climate change. However, not all experiments show consistently positive outcomes, indicating the need for a multidisciplinary approach to understand and address the site-specific complexities of CA systems.

This study explores literacy competence (LC) in elementary schools, emphasizing its importance while revealing its current deficiencies. The primary goal is to examine LC through the lens of the Guided Reading (GR) Model and its sociocultural influences. Using an Explanatory Sequential design as part of a mixed-method approach, the research included 200 fourth-grade students from six elementary schools, comprising 94 males and 106 females. Research tools such as pre-tests and post-tests, observations, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews with students, parents, and teachers were utilized. Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test. The study's findings reveal that the GR model effectively elevates LC from a low to medium level. Literacy comprehension advanced from a factual literal understanding to an interpretive one. However, sociocultural elements, such as book reading facilities, parental guidance, and technology use, were found to affect LC, with inappropriate technology usage having a negative impact. This research underscores the importance of meaningful teacher guidance via the GR model in developing literacy skills, emphasizing the significant role sociocultural factors play. Further investigation into the effects of technology on learning and other sociocultural factors not covered in this study is crucial.

The aim of this study is to analyse the dynamic relationship between economic growth and unemployment in Morocco. By examining the validity and asymmetry of Okun's law. Based on quarterly data covering the period from 2000 to 2022, we adopt a dynamic modelling of Okun's law, with the aim of estimating its elasticities during recessions and expansions using an ARDL model. The results of the study show the existence of an inverse relationship between GDP and unemployment with a strong persistence of the unemployment rate. The asymmetry study showed that unemployment reacts more strongly to negative deviations in real GDP than to positive deviations. In terms of policy implications, the study recommends the need to reform the structure of the Moroccan economy so as to allow the integration of a greater number of workers, while stimulating economic growth through the promotion of labour-intensive investment. Involving the Moroccan economy in a process of structural transformation is a crucial element, and investment in areas such as innovation, R&D or digital technology can help to increase real gross domestic product and consequently reduce the unemployment rate.

Robust spatial Durbin modelling on tuberculosis data using the MM-estimator method
Authors: Syam Ummul Auliyah , Siswanto Siswanto , Sunusi Nurtiti
Published: June 2024

The spatial Durbin model (SDM) is a spatial regression model which shows the existence of spatial dependency on the response variable and predictor variables. However, SDM modelling may sometimes involve problems associated with e.g. the existence of spatial outliers. One way to overcome outliers in the SDM model is to use robust regression in the form of the robust spatial Durbin model (RSDM). This study aims to estimate the parameters of RSDM based on data on tuberculosis (TB) cases recorded in 2020 in the South Sulawesi Province in Indonesia and to identify the factors that affect the number of TB cases in the region. The MM-Estimator robust regression estimation method was used. It is a combination of a method involving a high breakdown value for the S-estimator and a high efficiency of the M-estimator. The results of the analysis show that RSDM can overcome outliers in spatial regression models. This is reflected in the value of the mean square error (MSE) of the RSDM, which is 6,461.734, i.e. smaller than the value of the SDM model, and the adjusted R^2 value of 99.52%, which is greater than that of the SDM model. The factors that influence the number of TB cases in the South Sulawesi Province are population density, the percentage of households leading a healthy lifestyle, the percentage of residents with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunisation, and the percentage of those suffering from malnutrition.
On the Poisson-transmuted exponential distribution and its application to frequency of claim in actuarial science
Authors: Sabri Shamsul Rijal Muhammad , Adetunji Ademola Abiodun
Published: June 2024

This study proposes a new discrete distribution in the mixed Poisson paradigm to obtain a distribution that provides a better fit to skewed and dispersed count observation with excess zero. The cubic transmutation map is used to extend the exponential distribution, and the obtained continuous distribution is assumed for the parameter of the Poisson distribution. Various moment-based properties of the new distribution are obtained. The Nelder-Mead algorithm provides the fastest convergence iteration under the maximum likelihood estimation technique. The shapes of the proposed new discrete distribution are similar to those of the mixing distribution. Frequencies of insurance claims from different countries are used to assess the performance of the new proposition (and its zero-inflated form). Results show that the new distribution outperforms other competing ones in most cases. It is also revealed that the natural form of the new distribution outperforms its zeroinflated version in many cases despite having observations with excess zero counts.
The shape of an ROC curve in the evaluation of credit scoring models
Authors: Kochański Błażej
Published: June 2024

The AUC, i.e. the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, or its scaled version, the Gini coefficient, are the standard measures of the discriminatory power of credit scoring. Using binormal ROC curve models, we show how the shape of the curves affects the economic benefits of using scoring models with the same AUC. Based on the results, we propose that the shape parameter of the fitted ROC curve is reported alongside its AUC/Gini whenever the quality of a scorecard is discussed.

Authors:   Photonics Laboratory, Holon Institute of Technology, Israel, PELED A. , Popescu Simona Alexandra ,   Photonics Laboratory, Holon Institute of Technology, Israel
Published: June 2024

Abstract. This study examined the absorption and fluorescence spectra of chlorophylls and other pigments extracted in ethanol solutions from common edible plant species. Chlorophyll-a was the dominant fluorescent chromophore in all plant varieties. The fluorescence curves for all extracted solutions exhibit after optimizing by concentration dilution an increase in the fluorescence with a typical prominent leading Gaussian peak at a wavelength of 674 nm. This peak is followed by a decreasing shoulder extending into the near-infrared range beyond 724 nm. The dilution of the solutions with ethanol reduces the optical absorption from the other pigments and shows simultaneously an improved resolution of the chlorophyll-a spectral absorption peaks. This investigation provides new insights into the optical absorbance and other photo-excited processes that impact the fluorescence of chlorophylls, such as agglomeration, photobleaching and photo-aggregation. The findings may be used for biodiagnostics, fluorescent quantum dots and bio-sensors.

In recent years, advancements in Internet and cloud technologies have led to a signicant increase in electronic trading in which consumers make online purchases and transactions. Accompanying this achievement are vices like unauthorized access to users' sensitive information and damages to enterprise resources. Phishing is one of the familiar attacks that trick users to access malicious content and gain their information. This study aims to develop an efcient machine-learning program to detect phishing websites with high accuracy. Most phishing webpages look identical to the actual web pages and various strategies for detecting phishing websites, such as blacklisting, and heuristics, among others have been suggested. Existing research works showed that the performance of the phishing detection system is limited and there is a demand for intelligent techniques to protect users from cyber-attacks. A Uniform resource locator (URL) detection technique based on a supervised machine learning approach – Naïve Bayes is employed and implemented in Python programming language. The efcacy of this approach was determined on a phishing dataset made up of 7900 malicious and 5800 legitimate sites, respectively. The results show that using the proposed methodology an accuracy of 96% can be achieved by using stacking, ltering along the Naïve Bayes and logistic regression. This study thoroughly investigates the use of machine laearning with features extracted from the URLs and was able to showcase common words for the identication of either phishing (unhealthy) or good websites and proffered a guide to end users against the recent approaches in malicious URLs detection.

The development of a country depends upon the educational scenario of the country. Most often, sustainable development is understood to be growth that satisfies present requirements without jeopardizing the capacity of future generations to satiate their own development needs. The goal of higher education, like that of previous levels of education, is still to generate highly skilled workers who will drive the center of social, economic and scientific development through in-depth study. Ironically, the Nigerian universities funding model seems lob-sided, with the government taking the lion share. The great thing about Sustainable Goal 4 is that it calls on all United Nations members countries, including Nigeria to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote opportunities for lifelong learning for all” by 2030. While earlier studies mostly focused on funding of university education, very little research exists on the evaluation of Federal Government of Nigeria funding of public university education with an eye towards the attainment of sustainable development goal-4 target. The study adopts the institutional theory. Data for the study were drawn from participant observation and authentic secondary sources. The content analytical technique was used to review the literature on the subject matter. The study identified that financing of university education in Nigeria fall short of the benchmark of 26 % of the national budget as recommended by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Recommendations were made to prevent compromising the chances of delivery high quality university education in Nigeria by 2030.

Cardiac wounds are an extreme life-threatening emergency. Trauma caused by a knife (in the context of a brawl or assault) or a firearm (in the context of war) represent the main etiologies. Only 10% of patients arrive alive at the hospital where diagnosis and paraclinic should not delay the implementation of resuscitation and surgery in any way. Very few African series have been reported because of the delay in diagnosis and treatment, which means that few patients arrive at the hospital alive. We report two heart wounds that occurred in the context of a brawl whose rapid treatment made it possible to preserve the vital prognosis at the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital in Lomé, Togo.

Authors: Rincón Patiño Wilson Mauricio
Published: June 2024

La educación en tecnología en la escuela básica permite al estudiante adquirir destrezas que le faciliten relacionarse con un entorno equipado de artefactos de uso diario; cuando un niño con discapacidad intelectual llega al aula regular por medio del programa de inclusión, la institución debe realizar las adaptaciones necesarias de acuerdo con las características individuales para que él pueda alcanzar el éxito en su proceso escolar. Dentro de este contexto un recurso educativo digital (RED), apoya el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de habilidades en esta población porque contiene elementos audiovisuales y facilita la repetición de la información. El presente artículo describe la contribución de un RED, en el desarrollo de la competencia en tecnología para dos niños con síndrome de Down (SD), que cursan segundo grado de primaria en un colegio oficial de Bogotá, Colombia; mediante una investigación de enfoque cualitativo, exploratorio, a través del estudio de caso. Los resultados indican que los niños SD desarrollan la habilidad para reconocer y utilizar de forma apropiada, los aparatos tecnológicos que encuentran en su ambiente cotidiano, con el RED, donde intervienen aspectos como el aprendizaje, comunicación, memoria, motivación, interacción, autonomía y seguridad.
