Authors: Vincent Yannick
Published: November 2020

During the 19th century, training at École polytechnique was divided between courses in the lecture hall and studying in smaller rooms. At the end of the century, the school decided to set up some additional Conférences as it existed in other institutions. The purpose of this paper is to explain what the goals of the teachers who gave these Conférences were. To this end, we shall focus on debates in the Teaching Committee of the school and on the content of the Conférences according to reports in the archives of the École polytechnique. Keywords: history of teaching, France, École polytechnique, 19th century

K2 observations of the weak-lined T Tauri binary V928 Tau A and B show the detection of a single, asymmetric eclipse, which may be due to a previously unknown substellar companion eclipsing one component of the binary with an orbital period >66 days. Over an interval of about 9 hr, one component of the binary dims by around 60%, returning to its normal brightness about 5 hr later. From modeling of the eclipse shape, we find evidence that the eclipsing companion may be surrounded by a disk or a vast ring system. The modeled disk has a radius of 0.9923 ± 0.0005 R
*, with an inclination of 56.°78 ± 0.°03, a tilt of 41.°22 ± 0.°05, an impact parameter of −0.2506 ± 0.0002 R
*, and an opacity of 1.00. The occulting disk must also move at a transverse velocity of 6.637 ± 0.002 R
* day−1, which, depending on whether it orbits V928 Tau A or B, corresponds to approximately 73.53 or 69.26 km s−1. A search in ground-based archival data reveals additional dimming events, some of which suggest periodicity, but no unambiguous period associated with the eclipse observed by K2. We present a new epoch of astrometry that is used to further refine the orbit of the binary, presenting a new lower bound of 67 yr, and constraints on the possible orbital periods of the eclipsing companion. The binary is also separated by 18″ (∼2250 au) from the lower-mass CFHT-BD-Tau 7, which is likely associated with V928 Tau A and B. We also present new high-dispersion optical spectroscopy that we use to characterize the unresolved stellar binary.
Planetary Refractory Composition and Volatile Accretion into Gas Giants in the Protoplanetary Disks of the Sun and WASP-12
Authors: Pekmezci G. S. , Mousis O. , Lunine J. I.
Published: November 2020

We present a detailed theoretical exploration of the refractory compositions and volatile enrichments of planets forming in protoplanetary disks with solar-like conditions. The two cases of the Sun and WASP-12 are studied due to the availability of spectral measurements and their known planets. The distribution throughout their disks of solid compounds with a wide range of volatilities is computed by a comprehensive chemical thermodynamics code. After the calculation of refractory compounds down to the water snowline, the compositional distributions are documented for planets generated in certain locations of protoplanetary disks depending on thermodynamic conditions. These results are referred to proposed bulk compositions for solar terrestrial planets, and for the core of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b. The material left over after the formation of rocky components is collected and treated in calculations to determine the abundances of fundamental volatile molecules in the outer regions of the disks. The distributions of planetesimal volatile composition are then altered for four different cases of the carbon-to-oxygen ratios, and for oxidizing and reducing conditions, in order to adjust the best fit for the accretion zone of Jupiter and WASP-12b. We compare the Jovian results to in situ atmospheric measurements from Jupiter’s atmosphere. Overall, this study proposes a holistic approach to estimate possible planetary interior and envelope compositions from hot toward cold disk zones, along with the mass of planetesimals accreted into the envelopes of gas giants.
Gaps and Rings in Protoplanetary Disks with Realistic Thermodynamics: The Critical Role of In-plane Radiation Transport
Authors: Miranda Ryan , Rafikov Roman R.
Published: November 2020

Many protoplanetary disks exhibit annular gaps in dust emission, which may be produced by planets. Simulations of planet–disk interaction aimed at interpreting these observations often treat the disk thermodynamics in an overly simplified manner, which does not properly capture the dynamics of planet-driven density waves driving gap formation. Here we explore substructure formation in disks using analytical calculations and hydrodynamical simulations that include a physically motivated prescription for radiative effects associated with planet-induced density waves. For the first time, our treatment accounts not only for cooling from the disk surface but also for radiation transport along the disk midplane. We show that this in-plane cooling, with a characteristic timescale typically an order of magnitude shorter than the one due to surface cooling, plays a critical role in density wave propagation and dissipation (we provide a simple estimate of this timescale). We also show that viscosity, at the levels expected in protoplanetary disks (

), has a negligible effect on density wave dynamics. Using synthetic maps of dust continuum emission, we find that the multiplicity and shape of the gaps produced by planets are sensitive to the physical parameters—disk temperature, mass, and opacity—that determine the damping of density waves. Planets orbiting at

produce the most diverse variety of gap/ring structures, although significant variation is also found for planets at

. By improving the treatment of the physics governing planet–disk coupling, our results present new ways of probing the planetary interpretation of annular substructures in disks.
A Stream of Hypervelocity Stars from the Galactic Center
Authors: Generozov Aleksey
Published: November 2020

Recent observations have found a 1700 km s−1 star [S5-HVS1] that was ejected from the Galactic center approximately five million years ago. This star was likely produced by the tidal disruption of a binary. In particular, the Galactic center contains a few million year old stellar disk that could excite binaries to nearly radial orbits via a secular gravitational instability. Such binaries would be disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and would also explain the observed cluster of B stars ∼0.01 pc from the Galactic center. In this paper we predict S5-HVS1 is part of a larger stream, and use observationally motivated N-body simulations to predict its spatial and velocity distributions.
Inverse Compton Cooling in the Coronae of Simulated Black Hole Accretion Flows
Authors: Kinch Brooks E. , Noble Scott C. , Schnittman Jeremy D. , Krolik Julian H.
Published: November 2020

We present a formulation for a local cooling function to be employed in the diffuse, hot corona region of 3D GRMHD simulations of accreting black holes. This new cooling function calculates the cooling rate due to inverse Compton scattering by considering the relevant microphysics in each cell in the corona and approximating the radiation energy density and Compton temperature thereby integrating over the thermal seed photon flux from the disk surface. The method either assumes the ion and electron temperatures are equal (1T) or calculates them separately (2T) using an instantaneous equilibrium approach predicated on the actual relevant rate equations (Coulomb and Compton). The method is shown to be consistent with a more detailed ray-tracing calculation where the bulk of the cooling occurs, but is substantially less costly to perform. As an example, we apply these methods to a harm3d simulation of a 10M
⊙, non-spinning black hole, accreting at nominally 1% the Eddington value. This new approach leads to radiative efficiency values ≃65% above Novikov–Thorne, with a larger fraction of total cooling in the corona as compared to simulations performed using the original target-temperature cooling function. Time-averaged post-processing reveals that the continuum spectral observations predicted from these simulations are qualitatively similar to actual X-ray binary data, especially so for the 1T approach, which yields a harder power-law component (Γ = 2.25) compared to the 2T version (Γ = 2.53).
Element Abundances in the Unshocked Ejecta of Cassiopeia A
Authors: Laming J. Martin , Temim Tea
Published: November 2020

We analyze and model the infrared spectrum of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant with the aim of determining the masses of various elements in the unshocked ejecta. In this way, we complement the survey of the X-ray-emitting ejecta to provide a complete census of the elemental composition of the Cas A ejecta. We calculate photoionization–recombination equilibria to determine the ionization balance of various elements in the ejecta as a function of density using the X-ray and UV emission from the forward and reverse shocks as the ionizing radiation. With the assumption that all emission lines are principally excited at the ejecta density that maximizes their emission, we can convert observed line intensities into element masses. We find that the majority of the ∼3 M
⊙ ejecta have already been through the reverse shock and are seen today in X-rays. A minority, ∼0.47 ± 0.05 M
⊙, with uncertainties quoted here coming from the data fitting procedure only, are still expanding inside the reverse shock and emitting in the infrared. This component is comprised mainly of O, Si, and S, with no Fe readily detectable. Incorporating uncertainties estimated to come from our modeling, we quote

M
⊙. We speculate that up to a further 0.07 M
⊙ of Fe may be present in diffuse gas in the inner ejecta, depending on the Fe charge state.
Le droit administratif camerounais « postcolonial » en rupture avec le modèle français inspirateur
Authors: Foumena Gaëtan Thierry
Published: November 2020

Le Cameroun ancienne colonie allemande, a été placé par le système des Nations unies, sous administration de la France et de la Grande Bretagne. La partie confiée à la France a été, non seulement le cadre d’application du droit administratif d’origine française, mais surtout, le lieu d’éclosion d’un droit administratif « intranéen » ; en raison de l’application, dès le départ, du principe de la spécialité législative. C’est la raison pour laquelle, il existe une dichotomie entre les droits administratifs français et camerounais. Cette dichotomie, depuis l’accession du Cameroun à l’indépendance, est davantage consolidée, et, renforce l’idée de l’autonomie et l’originalité des droits africains par rapport au droit français.
L’avenir des mécanismes de représentation et de participation des salariés aux organes des sociétés en Allemagne au regard du droit européen
Authors: Lumingu Yves-Junior Manzanza
Published: November 2020

Le droit de codétermination des salarié(e)s aux conseils de surveillance des sociétés en Allemagne constitue, avec l’autonomie contractuelle reconnue aux organisations syndicales et patronales, l’un des piliers sur lesquels est fondé le partenariat social allemand. Cependant son avenir est au cœur des discussions controversées au regard de l’influence de plus en plus grandissante du droit communautaire européen sur les législations nationales. Cette influence se manifeste d’une part par le phénomène de contournement du système allemand de codétermination par les entreprises européennes qui usent de leur liberté d’établissement et d’autre part par la remise en question de la conformité des lois nationales relatives à la codétermination avec le droit primaire européen – du moins jusqu’à l’arrêt de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne du 18 juillet 2017 dans l’affaire C-566/15 (Konrad Erzberger c. TUI AG).
L’exécutif dualiste dans les régimes politiques des États d’Afrique noire francophone
Authors: Momo Claude F. , Gatsi Éric-Adol T.
Published: November 2020

Le présent article dédié à l’Exécutif dualiste dans les États d’Afrique noire francophone est une contribution à l’étude des régimes politiques africains. L’intérêt d’un tel sujet se situe d’une part dans l’histoire constitutionnelle de ces États, témoin de la construction et de la déconstruction des régimes politiques, de l’ajustement de leur plastique ; et d’autre part dans la survenance des crises politiques ou sociales de plus ou moins grande envergure qui amènent à questionner les choix du constituant quant à l’exercice du pouvoir politique. Dans une perspective comparative inhérente à l’étude du droit constitutionnel, cet article emprunte une démarche à la fois diachronique et synchronique et propose l’examen des régimes politiques africains tant dans leur évolution historique que dans leur pratique actuelle. À ce titre, les auteurs observent que dès leur accession à la souveraineté, les États de l’Afrique noire francophone ont, pour la plupart opté pour le régime de type parlementaire moniste, avant de changer presque radicalement, fin années 60-début années 70, pour le régime présidentiel qui sera lui-même dévoyé en régime présidentialiste. Aussi, le nouveau constitutionnalisme des Etats africains amorcé au début des années 90, qui avait entre autres objectifs le rééquilibrage des rapports entre les pouvoirs de l’Etat ne réussira cet exercice que modestement, le constat étant par ailleurs loin d’être unanime à l’ensemble des Etats étudiés. Au demeurant, la théorie et la pratique constitutionnelles témoignent d’une double dynamique selon que l’Exécutif est étudié dans ses rapports internes ou dans ses rapports externes : l’Exécutif dualiste est, en Afrique noire francophone, hiérarchisé de l’intérieur et dominant de l’extérieur. Le caractère hiérarchisé de l’intérieur s’évalue à l’aune des relations des deux composantes de l’Exécutif que sont le président de la République et le Gouvernement, lesquelles relations présentent – malgré un développement progressif de contre-pouvoirs – une figure présidentielle dominatrice et un chef de Gouvernement considéré comme simple primus inter pares. Quant au caractère dominant de l’extérieur, il découle de l’analyse des relations de l’Exécutif avec les autres pouvoirs qui révèlent une balance qui penche en faveur de celui-là et laissent conclure à une incontestable primauté de l’Exécutif dans et pour l’Etat.
Novel therapeutic approaches for the management of cystic fibrosis
Authors: Jaques Ryan , Shakeel Arslan , Hoyle Cameron
Published: November 2020

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition characterised by the build-up of thick, sticky mucus that can damage many of the body’s organs. It is a life-long disease that results in a shortened life expectancy, often due to the progression of advanced lung disease. Treatment has previously targeted the downstream symptoms such as diminished mucus clearance and recurrent infection. More recently, significant advances have been made in treating the cause of the disease by targeting the faulty gene responsible. Hope for the development of potential therapies lies with ongoing research into new pharmacological agents and gene therapy. This review gives an overview of CF, and summarises the current evidence regarding the disease management and upcoming strategies aimed at treating or potentially curing this condition.
Immunostimulatory role of rBmHSP60 from filarial parasite Brugia malayi
Authors: Kushwaha Vikas , Kaur Sukhbir
Published: November 2020

Objective:

To evaluate the immunostimulatory potential of cross-reactive molecule heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) of filarial parasite Brugia malayi and Leishmania donovani.

Methods:

HSP60 of Brugia malayi (BmHSP60) was amplified using gene-specific primer, cloned in pTriEx4 vector, expressed in BL21-DE3 cells, and recombinant HSP60 (rHSP60) of ~65 kDa was purified by affinity chromatography using Ni-NTA column. The recombinant protein was desalted by the dialysis membrane, and the presence of endotoxin level was determined by Limulus amebocyte lysate assay. The recombinant protein was tested for cell proliferation, nitric oxide release, expression of Th1 and Th2 cytokines, and transcription factors (STATs) in vitro using murine macrophage cell line (J774A.1).

Results:

Higher cell proliferation indicated that BmHSP60 had immunostimulatory potential. rBmHSP60 exposure upregulated the expression of iNOS, STAT1, STAT4, Th1 cytokines (IFN–γ, TNF–α, IL-12), and nitric oxide release. In addition, no remarkable change was observed in the expression of IL-6, IL-10, and STAT3 in macrophage cell line J774A.1. The ELISA analysis showed the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-12 were upregulated while IL-10 level was downregulated, revealing that BmHSP60 triggered a Th1 immune response.

Conclusions:

Our study demonstrates that rBmHSP60 has immunogenic properties which effectively enhances the Th1 type immune responses, and can be used as an immunoprophylactic agent against leishmaniasis. Furthermore, in vivo studies are in progress to determine the protective role of rBmHSP60 against Leishmania donovani infection in a mouse model.
Modernleşme Bağlamında Erken Dönem Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nde Kadının Temsili: Akbaba Dergisi Örneği
Authors: TOSUN DURMUŞ Büşra
Published: November 2020

Modernleşme ve Batılılaşmayı temsildeki güçleri ve toplumsal görünürlükleri sebebiyle kadın üzerinden yürütülen tartışmalar dünden bugüne eksilmeden devam etmektedir. Osmanlı modernleşmesinde olduğu gibi Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'ne geçişle birlikte de kadının modernleşmesi ve aslında Batılılaşması formüle edilmiş, gelişmişlik ölçüsü olarak kadının geleneksel ve dinsel kısıtlamalardan kurtulması öncelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Osmanlı modernleşmesi ile Türkiye modernleşmesi bağlantısı kurularak, erken dönem kadın temsilinde yaşanan kırılmanın konu edildiği bu çalışmada karikatür dergiciliğinde kadın imajının inşası Faircloug’un eleştirel söylem analizi yöntemi ile yorumlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Böylece erken dönem kadının temsili meselesine ışık tutulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın ana örneklemini oluşturan Akbaba dergisi, dönem-iktidar ilişkilerine yakınlığı bakımından özellikle seçilmiştir. Derginin 29 Ekim 1923 tarihini takip eden beş aylık süreç içinde yayımlanan yirmi bir sayısı incelenmiş, içerikte ön plana çıkan kadın temsilinin ait olduğu bağlam çözümlenmeye ve analizi gerçekleştirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Neticede Batılılaşma olarak formüle edilebilecek bir temsilin, Cumhuriyet’in ilanını takip eden erken dönemde topluma sunulduğu, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ideolojisiyle doğrudan uyuşmayan ve henüz kabul görmemiş bir kadın imajının karikatür formunda işlendiği görülmüştür.

“Make the Appointments Obligatory”: The Cultural and Institutional Challenges of Establishing a University Writing Center in Norway
Authors: Merkel Warren
Published: November 2020

In the US, writing centers have a long history at institutions of higher learning. Often housed in individual colleges, writing centers function to help both undergraduate and graduate students develop their writing skills and become more confident, independent writers. Assistance, which is typically offered by students who are themselves seasoned writers, takes form in both face-to-face and online tutoring sessions, and can focus on tenets of writing ranging from general skills (e.g., outlining, drafting, organization) to discipline- or genre-specific assignments (e.g., theses, reports, presentations). In recent years, efforts have been made to transfer the writing center culture across the pond; success stories have popped up in a wide range of European countries. Yet several contexts have yet to be investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges of establishing a writing center at the Department of Teacher Education (Institutt for lærerutdanning) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In autumn 2019, 43 pre-service second-year students taking a course on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) were obligated to make one appointment with the writing center to discuss drafts of a paper for a required assignment. Afterwards, they completed a survey detailing the experience of their visit. Results revealed that while students on the whole benefited from the sessions to discuss their writing, the students hinted at several cultural deviations that have the potential to hobble efforts of establishing a writing center. Instructional implications are discussed.
Carbon Footprint Estimation of A Medium-Sized
School in an Urban City
Authors: Harish G K and Arunakumar N C Pranav Rao
Published: November 2020

National Academy For Learning (NAFL), Bengaluru has been actively working to make the school
carbon-neutral under the NAFL Green initiative. The present investigation conform the effort and presents the
trajectory for understanding and estimating the carbon footprint of the school, and suggests potential
solutions. It uses the GHG Protocol’s Corporate Standard, which categorizes emissions into three scopes
based on their source. The study extensively explores each of the three scopes and emission offsets, and
reports the carbon footprint of NAFL to be 107030kg CO2e. The major contributor to this is the third-party
transportation facility, accounting for almost 75% of the emissions. The trees maintained by the school offset
only 1.3% of the carbon dioxide emissions. This indicates that there still remains a huge scope for
improvement in the carbon footprint, and so potential methods of reducing the footprint are suggested.
Additionally, in order to allow for a similar estimation to be made by others, a python GUI programme is
developed. The study concludes that the school needs to address its carbon footprint using the recommended
solutions in this study. The study will also hopefully kindle similar studies that can collectively aid in a better
understanding of the situation.

Converter in order to extract the maximum available power from Solar system. Solar energy has the greatest
availability compared to other energy sources. For such solar PV systems, maximum power point tracking
control is preferred for efficient operation. This concept is dealing with INC method which is one of the MPPT
methods. This study deals with a buck–boost converter controlled solar photovoltaic (SPV) array fed water
pumping in order to achieve the maximum efficiency of an SPV array and the soft starting of a permanent
magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor. The current sensors normally used for speed control of BLDC motor are
completely eliminated. The speed of BLDC motor is controlled through the variable DC-link voltage of a
voltage-source inverter (VSI). The VSI is operated by fundamental frequency switching, avoiding the losses
due to high-frequency switching, in order to enhance the efficiency of the proposed system.

Authors: Koca Feyzullah
Published: November 2020

In this study is proposing to compare lipid and lipoprotein values in faculty of sport sciences students in order to investigate cardiovascular disease risks. The research included sports-educated college students. They were 20 wrestlers, 25 judo athletes and 30 soccer players. Comparison of age and height were used in the research and, to identify the differences among groups, one-way Anova and Scheffe tests were performed. In this study, vertical jumping value was not found statistically significant among the groups (p> 0.05). In this study, aerobic and anaerobic power of the educated wrestlers and judo athletes were found to be different than the soccer players (p <0.05). In our study, wrestlers and judo athletes’ values are clearly higher than the values soccer players group in terms of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) amounts (p<0.01). In our study, wrestlers and judo athletes’ values are found to be significantly lower than the values soccer players in terms of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) amounts (p<0.01). The ratio TC / HDL-C and LDL-C / HDL-C of educated judo athletes and wrestlers is higher than soccer players (p<0.05). Conclusion: Faculty of sport sciences students who wrestlers, judo athletes and soccer players were found to be different in blood fat values. This difference in bloods fat are thought to be due to their training. Healthy risk factors for cardiovascular diseases of all three branch athletes were found to be low. Wrestler and Judo players were recommended to include more aerobic activities in their trainings.

Published: November 2020

Rabbits are becoming common as pets in Brazil, and veterinarians are seeing an increased demand for clinical treatment of their species. Reproductive diseases in rabbits are rarely described in veterinary literature, with few cases of dystocia and fetal death reported. We report a case of dystocia in a 75 days old rabbit presented with a history of purulent vaginal discharge and loss of appetite. Dystocia was diagnosed by physical and radiographic examination, and ovariohisterectomy was recommended. Accurate diagnosis, immediate intervention and adequate treatment resulted in good postoperative outcome.

The COVID 19 pandemic has affected the entire world, and it is continuing to spread morbidity, mortality, and chaos. The second line of health care workers who are not treating the COVID 19 infected patients also plays a significant role during this pandemic by treating other diseases and screening for COVID 19 infection. Nevertheless, many of them still struggle to identify and understand their role, lost between the idea of self-protection and principles of medical ethics. This article is trying to break the ice by solving a few common conundrums based on India's experiences.
Özel Sektöre Verilen Kredilerin İnovasyon Üzerindeki Etkisi: Avrupa Birliği Ülkeleri ve Türkiye İçin Bir Uygulama
Authors: KILINÇ Efe Can , IŞIK Nihat , YILMAZ Suat Serhat
Published: November 2020

Küresel planda ortaya çıkan rekabet ve ticaret savaşları, ülkeleri mal ve hizmet üretimlerinde verimliliklerini ve çıktılarını arttıracak Ar-Ge ve inovasyon faaliyetlerini gerçekleştirmeye itmiştir. Fakat bu durum, söz konusu faaliyetlerin finansmanının nasıl sağlanacağı konusunda birtakım sorunları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu süreçte krediler; ülkelerin, kurumların ve firmaların inovasyon sürecinde karşılaşabilecekleri finansman sorunlarının giderilmesinde anahtar bir rol oynamıştır. Bu öneme binaen bu çalışmada, özel sektöre yönelik olarak verilen kredilerin inovasyon üzerindeki etkileri 24 Avrupa Birliği üyesi ülke ve Türkiye bağlamında incelenmektedir. 2001 ve 2017 dönemi yıllık verilerini kapsayan çalışmada; Pedroni Eşbütünleşme Analizi, Granger Nedensellik Analizi, FMOLS ve DOLS tahmincileri kullanılarak değişkenler arasındaki ilişki analiz edilmektedir.

Abstract

Objective: To compare the effect of Pakistani and American almonds on serum concentration of liver enzymes in coronary artery disease patients.

Methods: The randomised controlled trial was conducted at the Cardiology Clinics of Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from February to July, 2012, and comprised patients who were randomised into intervention PA and AA groups and the control NI groups. Subjects in the intervention groups were provided Pakistani and American varieties of almonds 10g/day respectively with instructions to soak them overnight, remove the skin and eat them before breakfast for 12 weeks. The control group underwent no intervention. Serum concentrations of aspartate transaminase, Alanine transaminase and gamma-glutamyl transferase were analysed and compared.

Results: Of the 150 subjects, 110(73.3%) completed the study. Of them, there were 38(34.5%) in PA group, 41(37.3%) in AA, and 31(28.2%) in the NI group. Dietary almonds significantly reduced serum concentrations of aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and gamma-glutamyl transferase in the two intervention groups compared to the controls group (p<0.05) at 12-week follow-up.

Conclusion: A low dose of almonds was found to be an effective strategy to protect the liver.

Key Words: Low dose, Soaked almonds, Transaminases, Transpeptidase, SGOT/SGPT.

Digital Watermarking using Multiscale Ridgelet Transform
Authors: Kaur Manmit , Sinha H. P.
Published: November 2020

The multi-resolution watermarking method for digital images proposed in this work. The multiscale ridgelet coefficients of low and high frequency bands of the watermark is embedded to the most significant coefficients at low and high frequency bands of the multiscale ridgelet of an host image, respectively. A multi-resolution nature of multiscale ridgelet transform is exploiting in the process of edge detection. Experimental results of the proposed watermarking method are compared with the previously available watermarking algorithm wavelet transform. Moreover, the proposed watermarking method also tested on images attached by Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and wavelet based lossy image compression techniques.

The Identity of Schoolchildren in a Transitive Society
Authors: Gudzovskaya Alla
Published: November 2020

The article analyzes the current empirical studies of schoolchildren’s identities. Transformation tendencies in the identity of children are revealed. The paper focuses on several particular tendencies, including the increasing variability of components in identity structure, the decrease in the significance of customary components, and the increase in the significance of unique ones. The latter include, first of all, the identities associated with Internet activities, as well as those produced by the cinematic "superhero" culture. The article discusses the possible directions of psychological and pedagogical work that may support the constructive multiple identities of a child, such as, the development of the “achieved identity” (Marcia), the cultivation of the ability to reflect on the components of his/her identity, the actualization and realization of the identity "I'm a human being".

Authors: M.D. Pradeep
Published: November 2020

Unorganised sector occupies a predominant portion in the workforce of India. The work is considered to be the physical and mental engagement by human beings for economic
productivity. Fisheries Sector has become a source ofincome and employment to those who engage in unorganised employments for their life. India is the second largest producer of fish in the world by contributing 5.68 per cent of global fish production and second largest producer of fish by aquaculture after China. In the National Fish Productivity, State of Karnataka contributes almost 5.8 per cent securing 6th Position in marine productivity and 9th position in the inland fish productivity. Fisheries sector has enriched its share in the national development after effective usage of technology to increase yield per area of water thereby earning more foreign exchange. Fishing occupation is normally hazardous causing harm to the health of the fisher folks. It is essential to provide Social security protections to the fisher folks against contingencies including disability, sickness, employment injuries, occupational diseases and unemployment. The maximum welfare to the fisher folks can be assured only through the execution of Comprehensive Social Security Policy linking Social Assistance Programmes and Social Security Schemes. This study is descriptive and analytical in nature. The study results analyse the implications of social security measures among the fisher folks living in the ThotaBengre fishing village of Mangaluru Taluk in Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka State in India. The study review upon the implications of various social security schemes offered to the fishermen in terms of its coverage and benefit. A good attempt is also made to identify the level of awareness among the fisher folks about social security schemes provided by the government at Centre and State levels respectively. This paper suggests measures for the legislators and fisheries department to improve the benefit schemes thereby securing the inclusive growth of the fishing community.

An investigation into students’ attitudes towards the value of poetry and their knowledge of poetry analysis
Authors: Turner Ellen
Published: November 2020

Though poetry analysis is a central component of literary studies in higher education, research frequently reports that attitudes of both students and teachers to its incorporation in syllabi are mixed (Weaven & Clark, 2014). Previous research suggests a complex relationship between attitudes to and knowledge of poetry with some studies indicating that negative attitudes might be the result of a lack of competency in analysing such texts (Benton, 1999; Fleming, 1992), and others suggesting the greater the knowledge, the less favourable the attitude (Liao & Roy, 2017; Snapper, 2013).  This small-scale quantitative study examines connections between knowledge and attitude in a sample of first-semester Swedish students of English, and investigates potential differences between pre-service teachers, and regular students.

Published: November 2020

The purpose  of the paper is to evaluated and tested the teaching and testing. A large number of examinations in the past have encouraged a tendency to separate testing from teaching. Both testing and teaching are so closely interrelated that it is virtually impossible to work in either field without being constantly concerned with the other. Tests may be constructed primarily as devices to reinforce learning and to motivate the student or primarily as a means of accessing the student’s performance in the language.
