Ancient Iron-Smelting Site “East Hungai” on Olkhon Island (Lake Baikal, Russia): Rock-Magnetic Approach to Archaeological Problems
Authors: Matasova Galina G
Published: July 2022

Rock-magnetic techniques were used to examine topsoil layer over the “East Hungai” archaeological site on Olkhon Island (Lake Baikal, Siberia) in an effort to determine the possible sources of magnetic anomalies associated with iron smelting activity at about the BC/AD boundary. Measurements of surface and subsurface magnetic susceptibility and laboratory measurements of hysteretic parameters have shown a magnetic heterogenity of strata resulted from the interaction of two factors: the initial differentiation of the bedrock source material and the high intensity of the sedimentary process that contributed to significant desintegration of bedrock and to easy transporting of the disintegrated products. Because bedrock on the east and west sides of the valley are different, the distribution of magnetic susceptibility over the excavation area is rather complex. Nevertheless, susceptibility anomalies corresponding to ore preparation and ore storage zones could be recognized. Most likely East Hungai site was used during prospecting works and trial iron smelting in promising places, which testifies the remarkable activity of ancient metallurgists on the western shore of Lake Baikal

Authors: García-Pons Pamela Guadalupe , Avalos-Díaz Aransazú , Martínez de Escobar-Fernández Arturo
Published: July 2022

Debido a la necesidad y urgencia que trajo consigo la crisis sanitaria del COVID-19, hizo que los gobiernos cerraran las puertas de las instituciones educativas como una medida para mitigar los efectos de la pandemia, afectando así al 94% de los estudiantes a nivel mundial (UNESCO, 2020). Por lo que la plantilla tanto docente, administrativos, y estudiantes de acuerdo a la OMS deben a pesar de la pandemia seguir adquiriendo conocimientos y habilidades, pero ahora de manera virtual para protegerse de los riesgos escolares a los que se enfrentan, de modo que puedan adquirir conocimiento de forma segura y eficaz. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo conocer la posición económica de los estudiantes de contaduría en la División Académica de Ciencias Económico-Administrativas durante la transición de la educación presencial a la virtual ante la pandemia en el periodo de junio a octubre del 2020, con la finalidad que el docente pueda adoptar buenas prácticas que garanticen el buen desempeño escolar de los estudiantes. El estudio es de tipo descriptivo, transversal, retrospectivo y analítico. Se aplicaron encuestas a los estudiantes universitarios, 47% de la población femenina y 53% son varones. De los resultados se observa que 98% de los estudiantes tenían acceso a la tecnología, aunque solo un 66% podía utilizarlo sin problemas, tales como falta de internet, mala señal, energía eléctrica, entre otros. Se concluye que entre las implicaciones económicas que impone la epidemia a las condiciones de los hogares esta que muchos estudiantes tienen acceso limitado a wifi y deben tomar sus lecciones a través de sus dispositivos móviles o celulares utilizando el consumo de datos, en algunos casos, el servicio no llega a sus hogares, lo que limita la buena comunicación. Es por ello que para los docentes e instituciones educativas es un gran reto, ya que deben usar todo el ingenio y creatividad para tener metodologías de aprendizaje que potencien la calidad de los alumnos.

THE SHAPING OF A MONOCULTURAL MINDSET THROUGH AN INTERNATIONALISED CURRICULUM. AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY
Authors: Pérez Mendoza Marcos , Cuevas Álvarez María Cruz , Arias Moguel Gerardo Ulises
Published: July 2022

The following ethnographic study was carried out in a public HEI located in southeast Mexico. The aim of the study was to verify the assumption that students enrolled in a second language course can change their monocultural mindset into an intercultural one. For this ethnographic study, four groups of 35 students each, belonging to four different knowledge areas: administration, accounting, economics, and marketing, were observed with a moderated level of observation. The categories obtained were problem-solving, dress code, personal space, accent, and colloquialism. The findings reveal that Marketing students are more prone than their peers to make a mindset change due to specific aspects of their career: if they want to sell products or services in another culture, they have to think of the host culture in order for products or services to be accepted. The internationalized curriculum is a suggested strategy in order to become a host university.
Birefringence-Managed Normal-Dispersion Fiber Laser Delivering Energy-Tunable Chirp-Free Solitons
Authors: Mao Dong , He Zhiwen , Gao Qun , Zeng Chao , Yun Ling , Du Yueqing , Lu Hua , Sun Zhipei , Zhao Jianlin
Published: July 2022

Chirp-free solitons have been mainly achieved with anomalous-dispersion fiber lasers by the balance of dispersive and nonlinear effects, and the single-pulse energy is constrained within a relatively small range. Here, we report a class of chirp-free pulse in normal-dispersion erbium-doped fiber lasers, termed birefringence-managed soliton, in which the birefringence-related phase-matching effect dominates the soliton evolution. Controllable harmonic mode locking from 5 order to 85 order is obtained at the same pump level of ~10 mW with soliton energy fully tunable beyond ten times, which indicates a new birefringence-related soliton energy law, which fundamentally differs from the conventional soliton energy theorem. The unique transformation behavior between birefringence-managed solitons and dissipative solitons is directly visualized via the single-shot spectroscopy. The results demonstrate a novel approach of engineering fiber birefringence to create energy-tunable chirp-free solitons in normal-dispersion regime and open new research directions in fields of optical solitons, ultrafast lasers, and their applications.
A Surrogate-Assisted Evolutionary Algorithm for Space Component Thermal Layout Optimization
Authors: Han Lei , Wang Handing , Wang Shuo
Published: July 2022

In space engineering, the electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the expensive thermodynamic simulations in the component thermal layout optimization problems bring great challenges to the current optimization algorithms. To reduce the cost, a surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithm with restart strategy is proposed in this work. The algorithm is consisted of the local search and global search. A restart strategy is designed to make the local search jump out of the local optimum promptly and speed up the population convergence. The proposed algorithm is compared with two state-of-the-art algorithms on the CEC2006, CEC2010, and CEC2017 benchmark problems. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm has a high convergence speed and excellent ability to find the optimum in the expensive constrained optimization problems under the very limited computation budget. The proposed algorithm is also applied to solve an electronic component layout optimization problem. The final results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm, which is of great significance to the component layout optimization.

Pisiranthaiyar was a poet of Sangam period. He was very friendly with King Kopperuncholan. He was a devotee of Pandyan Idudai Nambi. He gave advice and political virtue to the king and earned the respect of Pandyan. Pisiranthaiyar lived in a town called 'Pisir' in Pandya country. Bharathidasan has created this drama in the twentieth century with his imaginative poetry, centering on the friendship of the devotees. During the Sangam period, the doctrine of virtue had a great influence on the society. Social life is structured through this religion. Ancient Tamil society was enriched by urban civilization. Tamil civilization was one of the pioneer civilizations of the world before this civilized way of life was built. The education seen in the people and the poets during the Sangam period makes clear the knowledge of the Tamil people. Sangam period is built on individual morality, political virtue, chivalry, arts etc. The types of food that prevailed during the Sangam period, the philosophy of nature, astronomy, mentalism, solvency, commerce, water management, life rituals etc. are the aspects of life. In Pisiranthaiyar’s play, Bharathidasan takes the life of that time in the context of the 20th century for the social development of Tamil people and building the values of life for the upliftment of the Tamil society. In the life of a Tamilian, culture, art, education, and valor are combined, hospitality, kindness, chastity, justice, friendship etc. are mixed in the life of the ancient Tamilians, and Bharathidasan has designed his concept that these values of life should be incorporated in the contemporary environment as well. This review is structured on a qualitative approach. This article examines the living norms of the Tamil people in the context of Pisiranthaiyar's era and the living norms mentioned by Bharathidasan.

Authors: P Vijayakumar
Published: July 2022

Iyothee Thass Pandit established the 'South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association' (1898) in Rayapetta, Chennai and through it he did various things for Buddhist revival and social change. One of them was the evening sermon held every Sunday. From 1907 to 1914 more than twenty sermon summaries appeared in the magazine 'Tamil'. At that time, Pandit Ayodhitasa's sermons helped a lot in enlightening the people. The ideologies that had dominated the society and the common people for a long time were rendered meaningless after the preaching of Pandit Iyothee Thass. His activities were primarily to restore Buddhism at the cultural level and to eradicate politically and oppose the intrigues that surrounded the common people. Who is man? What is religion? Who is Brahmin? The sermons are based on the answers to the questions included. He preached on the truth of the Bhagavad Gita, the origin of the name India, the differences in the history of the Buddha, etc., in a rational and Buddhist context, with literary flair and satire. These are innovative and primary to today's world of knowledge. M. Singaravelar, who operated in the field of knowledge in the twentieth century, P. Lakshmi Narasu, K. Swapaneshwari Ambal and others preached at the Buddhist Society and supported the social change. Pandit has also delivered speeches along with eminent personalities with intellectual backgrounds. The sermons initiated by the Pandit were conducted in many branches of the South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association. The Buddhist association of Kolar Gold Field, Bangalore, Irangoon (Burma), Tirupattur, Nettal (South Africa) carried out the preaching very well. Youth associations which functioned as a part of the Buddhist association also gave importance to preaching. The seed of preaching planted by the Pandit through the Buddhist association grew into a huge bodhi tree during his lifetime. It is the ideological extension of the Aadivaara (Sunday) Malai (Evening) sermon that continues in today's Buddhist and rationalist movements.

The word ‘customer satisfaction’ is not just a factor that shows the satisfaction on the part of a service receiver but also it is a factor that plays a vital role in success of a service provider who can survive for a long term in today’s competitive era if he/she considers this factor. In order to convert a particular product or service into a brand with a goodwill it is a must to keep in mind the customer satisfaction. In the given research a case study has been done on satisfaction of individuals from marble fitness club in comparison with some other gyms in Jabalpur. In the provided paper two factors are taken into consideration which are customer loyality (regularity) and satisfaction derived from regularity as it is very much important to be regular if we want the real benefit from workout done in gym. The required topic has been taken as in today’s era technology advancement has been done to such an extent that physical efforts are reduced to do any kind of work because of which people are not conscious about their health as they can do almost every work from their home itself and the new generation is becoming more lethargic . In the world of busy schedule almost every work which can be done through physical efforts is done through various means like travelling through transports in place of cycle or on foot, attending coaching classes online at home etc. It is also seen that the diet of new generation is also not a balanced one . The intake of calories is more as compared to the physical exercises done to burn that. Joining fitness centres not only improves your health but it also build self confidence as a well toned personality has another level of effectiveness and you will stand out of crowd. It is found that a very small percentage of people are conscious about their health who do workout in gyms and it is seen that only 60% of the people who take membership in fitness centres are loyal by being regular and from the percentage of people who are loyal 30% are taking a good diet which is must for developing muscles otherwise without diet we can suffer from various bone injuries by lifting heavy weight. The research will enable readers to know the importance of loyalty towards gyms along with a proper diet if we want results in form of satisfaction.

Published: July 2022

India is fortunate in having a wide range of oilseeds crops grown in its different agro climatic zones. Groundnut, coconut, mustard, sesame and sunflower are the major traditionally cultivated oilseeds. Soyabean and sunflower oils are also considered as important one in the recent years. Coconuts the most important amongst the plantation crops. Efforts are being made to grow palm oil in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andaman and Nicobar Island. In addition oil seeds of tree and forest origin which grow mostly in tribal inhabited areas are also a significant source of oils.Gingelly oil is one of the important oils which is mainly used in cooking. It is also called seasame oil. It is of vegetable origin and is obtained from seasame seeds by pressing. Cold-pressed seasame oil is light yellow, has a mild favour and is odourless. Hot-pressed seasame oil is darker and has a more pungent taste. India is the largest seasame – growing country. Seasame seeds are very commonly used in the religious rites of the Hindus indicating its domestication of the remote past.Consumers are not able to understand which oil is good for their health. As a result, consumers prefers branded oils rather than unbranded oil. Even among the branded oils consumers prefers one brand to the other. Even though there are many edible oils, it is understood that a vast majority of the consumers in Tamil Nadu prefer only gingelly oil. Hence an attempt is made to study the brand preference of gingili oil.

Published: July 2022

Family businesses are the pillar of strength to all the economies throughout the world. It is not surprising that majority of the businesses in the world are family businesses. Family business comprise of 90 percent of the businesses in India contributing to 90 percent national output and 79 percent employment. However, it has been found that the average life span of a family business is 24 years . 70 percent of family businesses fail or are sold before they are passed on to the second generation and almost 90 percent do not make it to the third generation , while 3 percent survive to a fourth or beyond . One of the reasons for the failure of family business is due to expectation – reality discrepancies between business owners perceived ideal successor attributes versus prospective successors perceived ideal attributes for family businesses. This study compares the successor attributes that potential Indian successors of family business consider most important with the findings of the successor attributes that Indian family business owners consider most important. The current study collected the data from 134 potential successors of family businesses from a reputed business school in Hyderabad and compared the findings with the successor attributes expected from the owner managers of the family firms.

Authors: Sangamithra A , Govardhan S.B. , Vishnu S
Published: July 2022

Every region of the body is susceptible to cancer, which is a prevalent condition. The cancer’s stage provides information on the location, size, and extent of the disease in surrounding tissues, as well as if it has progressed to nearby lymph nodes or other sections of the body. Most cancers go through four stages. A cancer that is further advanced will have higher numbers. The proper diagnosis of cancer cannot be achieved by a single test. A person needs to undergo a number of tests to find out if they have cancer or if another illness (such an infection) is acting like cancer. In order to confirm or rule out the existence of an illness, monitor the disease process, and plan for and assess the efficacy of treatment, effective diagnostic testing is used. Cancer can be diagnosed by imaging, laboratory tests (including tests for tumor markers), tumor biopsy, endoscopic examination, surgery, or genetic testing. The study was carried out to learn the Stages and Tests advised to Patients. The information was gathered by interviewing 20 outpatients in Coimbatore. In the study, the stages of cancer patients in the Coimbatore district were examined, along with numerous tests and treatments for cancer diagnosis.

Published: July 2022

En México se produce trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) en condiciones de riego y de temporal o secano. Las siembras de temporal se realizan en pequeñas áreas aisladas y contrastadas en 13 estados de la república que presentan una problemática biótica y abiótica compleja; éstas corresponden con tres condiciones de producción: ambientes críticos, intermedios y favorables (Villaseñor y Espitia, 2000). En los ambientes favorables se cosechan los mayores rendimientos, debido a que la lluvia es abundante y bien distribuida durante el cultivo, en donde el trigo compite con el maíz (Zea mays L.), ya que son tierras con buena productividad para este último (Turrent et al., 1992), situación que exige al trigo una producción mayor de 5 t ha-1. Una manera de lograr esta meta en ambientes con altas precipitaciones, es con la siembra de variedades de alta productividad, resistentes al acame, tolerantes al complejo de enfermedades foliares y de la espiga que merman el rendimiento hasta en 70 %, y de menor ciclo que el maíz (Moreno y Villaseñor, 1993; González et al., 1995).

Published: July 2022

En el noreste de México que comprende los estados de Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila y San Luis Potosí, se siembran anualmente 934 mil hectáreas de sorgo para grano, con una producción promedio de dos millones de toneladas. En esta región un problema importante es la sequía, causada por la distribución errática de lluvias y el escaso uso de prácticas de conservación y aprovechamiento de la humedad. La mayor parte (75 %) del sorgo se cultiva bajo condiciones de temporal o secano, y se estima que durante el ciclo otoño-invierno (O-I) 2001/2002 la sequía provocó, pérdidas en la producción por cerca de 700 mil toneladas de grano; este año el rendimiento medio fue de 1.5 t ha-1, en lugar del rendimiento medio de 2.4 t ha-1. Una estrategia que puede ayudar a reducir las pérdidas en rendimiento, es la obtención de plantas más eficientes para el aprovechamiento de la humedad disponible del suelo y de los elementos nutritivos esenciales para su desarrollo.
