Published: April 2021

The supply system consists of several elements, which in their characteristics are distinguished in the overall structure
of the supply system. They are defined uniquely in accordance with the function they perform, and in reality they appear
at all levels of the budget system organization. Functioning of the supply system is possible only with the existence of
certain inventories or reserves of material assets. The stocks represent the prescribed and determined quantities of
material assets stored in the warehouses in order to ensure the normal functioning of the institutions.
Using the supplies management accounting model in textile industry is providing a continuous provision of equipment.
This is essential to reach the adequate level of competence, which is in line with autonomous budget financing
companies. Taking into account the specificity of the institutions, with an emphasis on the quality of the equipment, there
is also the possibility for savings in maintaining them.
The aim of this paper is to present how the inventory management accounting system can optimize costs in the textile
industry due to the full satisfaction of the optimal supply criterion.

Published: April 2021

This paper is a study of the correlation of the thermal resistance (Rct
) and the evaporative resistance (Ret
) in vertically
and horizontally oriented air gaps by using the portable Permetest skin model. Experiments were done in a climatic
chamber; an isothermal condition for Ret tests and non-isothermal condition for Rct tests. Foamed polyethylene air gap
distance rings were prepared with a thickness of 2, 4 and 5 mm and their combinations to simulate the air gap distance
from 0 to 16 mm which is more than the expected average gap in clothing systems. Test samples were woven fabric of
100 percent cotton, 100 percent polyester and their blends plus 100 percent of polypropylene, all have similar weight
and structure. Results showed that with the increasing thickness of the air gap, Rct increased in a polynomial trend and
Ret in a linear proportional rate up to 12 mm then started to change due to the effect of free convection and the different
properties of materials. The surprising positive observation is that results from the horizontally and vertically oriented air
gaps are very similar, and most of the results from the vertical air gap are slightly lower than the results from the
horizontal air gap in all materials.

Published: April 2021

Cool-touch nylon multi-filament yarns with good heat transfer performance are widely used in the development of knitted
fabrics for summer and sports clothing. However, the physical properties of cool-touch nylon fibres, and the effect of
fineness and cross-section on comfort-related properties of their knitted fabrics are still not well understood. In this study,
the physical properties of cool-touch nylon fibres and common nylon fibres, and comfort properties of knitted fabrics from
both fibre types were measured and compared. It was found that cool-touch nylon fibres have better moisture
absorption, but slightly lower crystallinity than common nylon fibres. Regarding the fibre fineness and cross-section of
cool-touch nylon and common nylon, knitted fabrics showed a similar dependence on thermal comfort properties.
Cool-touch nylon fabrics had increased wicking capacity, thermal transfer, and cooling properties, but poorer drying
performance and moisture permeability compared to common nylon fabrics. It was concluded that using nylon
multi-filament yarns made up of finer filaments and cool touch filaments is an effective way to develop thermal-wet
comfort knitted fabrics for summer and sports clothing applications.
SHARENTING DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: YAY OR NAY
Authors: Muhammad Azhar Aima Nabila , Md Salleh Anis Shuhaiza
Published: April 2021

In this 21st century, social media has taken over as a dominant form of social interaction and the recent COVID-19 quarantine or ‘stay at home’ during Movement Control Order (MCO) has left many even more dependent on social media to stay in touch with family, friends and the outside world. Many parents are unaware of the risks associated with excessive sharing of detailed information about their children online and that oversharing information about children on social media poses immediate and long-term risks to the children’s physical safety, online privacy, and emotional well-being. Thus, it is critical for parents to understand these risks and realize that their children’s right to privacy and safety supersedes the benefits of sharenting. By using a qualitative analysis on library-based sources, the objective of this study is to determine whether the COVID-19 response measures of MCO altered the practice of sharenting by parents. This study will be focusing on the type or content of sharing by parents of the images, videos, stories, and daily activities of their children throughout the quarantine period and the possible future implications to the children. Further, this study intends to understand the effect of ‘pranks’ played on the children to record their reaction which is trending in social media during the said quarantine period. The study concludes that since it is hard to disapprove of sharenting in today’s advancement of technology and the existence of various social media platforms, parents should always keep in mind the adverse effects of sharenting. Instead, the parents are best to value the quarantine time at home with the children with only minimal and suitable sharing to the social media for the safety and privacy of the children.
PROTECTION AVAILABLE FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DURING MOVEMENT CONTROL ORDER (MCO) FROM THE LEGAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Mahdzir Nazli , A Rahman Aspalella , Abdul Rahim Asmar , Md Ismail Che Thalbi
Published: April 2021

The problem of domestic violence (DV) in Malaysia has not yet been completely curbed. A significant increase in DV cases can be seen during the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO). This phenomenon is of great concern as the COVID19 pandemic is not over and the potential for MCO directives on areas with an increase in COVID19 cases is high. This paper aims to discuss the protection afforded to DV victims in Malaysia by the Domestic Violence Act 1994 (Act 521) (AKRT 1994). Using a descriptive approach and library research, the provisions of AKRT 1994 are critically analyzed. The findings of the study show that the amendments to AKRT 1994 in 2017 have improved the existing act. Among the main improvements are the expansion of the scope and definition of KRT as well as the introduction of the Emergency Protection Order (EPO). As a result, at present, not only victims of physical abuse, victims of emotional, psychological, and financial abuse are also eligible for protection under AKRT. In addition, victims can also seek immediate protection through EPO as it does not require the court’s permission which would normally be time-consuming. This 2017 amendment makes AKRT more proactive because it has taken into account the various problems faced by DV victims over the years. However, to make AKRT effective, victims need to have the courage to come forward to seek protection and justice.

Published: April 2021

Childhood vaccination is an important tool for controlling and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases among infants, who are most vulnerable due to their weaker immune systems. Due to this, certain countries resorted to enforcing compulsory childhood vaccination laws. Yet despite the proven effectiveness of childhood vaccination, it is also outweighed by numerous ethical implications. This paper focuses on the discussion of ethical considerations surrounding compulsory childhood vaccination in Malaysia. Focusing on the topic of compulsory vaccination of children, this paper discusses ethical issues related to parental autonomy, medical paternalism, compulsory childhood vaccination, and related legal issues. For the purpose of this article, the vaccination practices as implemented in the United States will be referred. At the end of this article, some recommendations are proposed in relation to the drafting of the legal framework on compulsory childhood vaccination in Malaysia. This article employs a doctrinal analysis and secondary data from academic journals and online databases.

The contribution of rice breeding for ensuring food security in India is well known. Organized rice breeding is nearly eight decades old in the country which started with the establishment of Central Rice Research Institute at Cuttack in the year 1946. Thereafter, the rice breeding programmes have undergone several transformations to meet the needs of stakeholders at both regional and national level. For all the rice ecologies of the country, high yielding varieties were developed by deployment of the required genes. Initially the objectives were met only through phenotypic selections based on breeders' own skills. With time, the rice breeders of the country adopted the advances in the fields of science and technologies especially in the areas of plant sciences. From the initial phase of users of methodologies and materials developed elsewhere, the rice scientists of India have transformed themselves to discover useful genes from the vast germplasm resources of the country and utilize them as per the local requirements through marker assisted selection. Despite the progress made in last few decades, the genetic gain from breeding programmes is becoming stagnant over time and the increased yield in current years are now attributed more to production interventions. The rice breeders of India need to take advantage of the recent developments of speed breeding, whole genome sequences of various Oryza species, advanced phenomics and computational methods, high throughput genotyping platforms, tissue culture and genome editing tools etc. to shift from its current approach of "breeding by chance" to "breeding by design" and to bring significant improvements in the rate of genetic gain per generation.

Authors: Pathak Himanshu , Kumar Mahesh , A Molla Kutubuddin , Chakraborty Koushik
Published: April 2021

Rice, a key staple food crop in the world and India, offers food and nutrition security to millions of the global population. Abiotic (water, soil, atmospheric) stresses affect yield and quality of rice. This necessitates stress-resilient rice production technologies sufficiently fortified by novel stress mitigation and adaptation strategies. Recent crop improvement strategy has partially managed to resolve the challenges presented by abiotic stresses such as high temperature, drought, salinity, alkalinity, waterlogging and mineral deficiency. The complication and multiplicity of abiotic stresses necessitate the use of extensive, integrative and multi-disciplinary techniques to achieve resilience. Crop improvement, along with the agronomic interventions, is essential to stabilise the productivity and profitability of rice production. This article gives an overview of the potential impacts of abiotic stress on rice and suggests the adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Published: April 2021

A six-mode scrambler based on cascaded side-wall long-period-grating waveguides on a silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platform is proposed for mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) transmission. The device can be fabricated with only one-step etching since it does not use a surface grating. A mode-dependent loss (MDL) of the system is estimated and the MDL can be reduced with a multiple scrambling operation. Two gratings proposed here and a fiber-pigtailed module containing these gratings are fabricated and the expected proof-of-concept mode scrambling operation is confirmed. It is found that the connection between few-mode fiber (FMF) and PLC chip seems to be the dominant loss of the module. Considering these losses, the measured results are in good agreement with the calculated results.
Dephasing of terahertz Bloch oscillations in a GaAs-based narrow-minigap superlattice excited by tunable pump photon energy
Authors: Unuma Takeya , Abe Ryota
Published: April 2021

We investigate peculiar Bloch oscillations under interminiband mixing in a GaAs-based narrow-minigap superlattice by terahertz emission spectroscopy. The dephasing time decreases with increasing pump photon energy and drops substantially at a certain energy, in contrast to that reported for Wannier–Stark ladder states in a nearly isolated miniband. This behavior can be ascribed to the LO phonon emission of electrons that are excited with in-plane excess energies and accelerated under dc bias electric field in the conduction first miniband. Our findings support the validity of the miniband transport model employed recently to account for an accompanying π/2 shift in the oscillation phase.
Comparison of 2 mcg/kg of fentanyl and 150 mcg/kg oxycodone during induction on post-intubation hemodynamics: a randomized clinical trial
Authors: . Suwarman , Heiry Rizky , Rismawan Budiana
Published: April 2021

Context: Endotracheal intubation may cause increased blood pressure and heart rate. The use of fentanyl as pre-intubation medication blunts the hemodynamic changes. However, fentanyl has side effects of sedation and respiratory depression. Oxycodone is an opioid similar to fentanyl that can be used as pre-intubation medication with less effects on sedation and respiratory depression.

Aims: This study compared the effect of 150 mcg/kg oxycodone and 2 mcg/kg fentanyl during induction on post-intubation blood pressure and heart rate changes.

Methodology: The study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial in 40 patients ASA I-II aged between 19 and 65-years old undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.

The patients were divided into 2 groups, one receiving 150 mcg/kg oxycodone and one receiving 2 mcg/kg fentanyl during induction. Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before induction (T0), before intubation (T1), just after intubation (T2), 3 min after intubation (T3) and 5 min after intubation (T4).

Statistical data were analyzed using the unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney test, where p < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in MAP (and #61508;MAP) in every time point assessed (12.15  ±  6.753, 13.40  ±  6.143, and 17.59  ±  7.715 in the oxycodone group versus 3.65  ±  3.746, 6.05  ±  4.186, and 9.40  ±  6.484 in the fentanyl group, consecutively). This study also showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in heart rate in every time point assessed (3,40  ±  4.212, 8.35  ±  4,891 and 10.45  ±  6.253 in the oxycodone group versus -4.80  ±  6.477, -2.15  ±  4.671, and -1.20  ±  6.978 in the fentanyl group, consecutively).

Conclusions: Administration of 150 mcg/kg oxycodone during induction causes a smaller increase in post-endotracheal intubation blood pressure and heart rate compared to 2 mcg/kg fentanyl.

Authors: Salman Ahmed , Zayed Norma Osama , Mansour Ahmed , Howaidi Ramy , Foly Ahmed Gamaleldin , ElSharkawy Mohammed Said , Abdelgalil Ahmed Salah
Published: April 2021

Background: Both tracheal intubation and extubation are associated with dangerous consequences such as tachycardia, hypertension, myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias. The aim was to evaluate pre–extubation two different doses of fentanyl on hemodynamic stabilization and delayed recovery in mastectomy.

Methodology: The randomized controlled double–blind study was conducted on 126 patients aged 16–60 years, with controlled hypertension, receiving chemotherapy before surgery and underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. Patients were randomly allocated into 3 equal groups. Before extubation, patients received 10 ml saline in group (C), 1 µg/kg fentanyl in Group–F1: and 2 µg/kg fentanyl in Group–F2. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at T1 (after maintenance of anesthesia), T2 (after giving the test drug), T3 (immediately after extubation), T4 (5 min. after extubation) and T5 (15 min after extubation).

Results: MAP was significantly lower in fentanyl groups compared to Group–C at T2 and T3 without significant deference between fentanyl groups. HR was significantly lower in fentanyl groups compared to Group–C and in Group–F2 compared to Group–F1 at T3, T4 and T5. Time of extubation was significantly prolonged in Group–F2 compared to Group–F1 and Group–C without a significant difference between Group–F1 and Group–C.

Conclusions: Pre–extubation fentanyl 1 µg/kg blunted cardiovascular responses to extubation without respiratory depression or prolonged recovery. Pre–extubation fentanyl 2 µg/kg provide more control in HR but with delay in the extubation time compared to 1 µg/kg of fentanyl.

Authors: Ahmed Ahmed Talaat , Abou Galalah Ayman A. , Mahgoub Asmaa A. , Mahram Ghada S.
Published: April 2021

Background: Majority of patients with pneumonia fail the treatment by the noninvasive ventilation (NIV), not because of its low efficacy for maintaining upper airway patency but because of intolerance. The current study was designed to compare the effectiveness of stacked breathing exercise (SBE) versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask on the chest expansion and pulmonary functions for patients with pneumonia.

Methodology: A randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in chest ICU in Assiut University Hospital in Egypt and registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04576221 identifier). Sixty patients with pneumonia were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned into two groups (30 patients each), the patients in SB group received SBE and were instructed to perform the exercise 3 times per day for one week; and the CPAP group received NIV with using CPAP mask. Chest expansion and pulmonary functions were assessed before and after the exercise.

Results: There were significant differences in chest expansion and pulmonary functions between the SB and CPAP groups after exercise in the first day, after 3 days and on the last day of the study (p=0.018, < 0.001 and < 0.001) respectively. Chest expansion and pulmonary functions in the SB group was much improved than those in the CPAP group.

Conclusions: Implementing SB exercise had a significant effect on improving chest expansion and pulmonary functions in patients with pneumonia than NIV with CPAP mask.

The higher incidence of comorbidities in advanced age causes difficulties in anesthesia management. When choosing the anesthesia technique in old aged patients, our target must be to avoid aggravating the existing systemic diseases and avoid disturbing the hemodynamics to ensure their rapid return to routine life.  In this case report, we present our choice of infraclavicular nerve block accompanied with spinal anesthesia in a patient with advanced age and several comorbidities, who sustained multiple trauma. The surgery of the patient was successfully performed with minimal effects on the hemodynamics, and he was transferred to the clinic. We stress careful selection of the most appropriate anesthesia technique according to the existing state of the patient, and opting for appropriate nerve blocks even to the patients with respiratory problems.

Untranslatability and the Challenge of World Literature
Authors: Attridge Derek
Published: April 2021

What are called ‘natural languages’ are artificial, often politically instituted and regulated, phenomena; a more accurate picture of speech practices around the globe is of a multidimensional continuum. This essay asks what the implications of this understanding of language are for translation, and focuses on the variety of Afrikaans known as Kaaps, which has traditionally been treated as a dialect rather than a language in its own right. An analysis of a poem in Kaaps by Nathan Trantraal reveals the challenges such a use of language constitutes for translation. A revised understanding of translation is proposed, relying less on the notion of transfer of meaning from one language to another and more on an active engagement with the experience of the reader.
Transcontextual Gestures
Authors: Giusti Francesco
Published: April 2021

What if one thinks not in terms of shared meanings or contents, but rather in terms of iterablegesturesavailable for re-enactment in different times and places in order to conceive of a cross-cultural world of literature? This essay sets out to explore, within the discursive mode of the lyric, whether the notion of gesture could be more helpful than meaning-based translation to account for the transferability of literary texts and for envisioning a form of community based on the shareability of certain gestures. To do so, it will look at how theact-eventof reading described by Derek Attridge is processed in two cases in which poems are transferred from an earlier authoritative tradition into a new one.
Extracting Indigeneity
Authors: Varma Rashmi
Published: April 2021

This essay examines extractivism as both a project and a process that is bolstering new forms of imperialism on a world scale. It argues that extractivism is as much grounded in material accumulation as it is in cultural extraction to create new forms of value. The writings of indigenous writers such as Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar offer an important key to understanding the work of the literary in making visible and resistant that which extractivism seeks to exploit for profit.
Working Conditions
Authors: Zimbler Jarad
Published: April 2021

To what extent does cultural distance interfere with or limit literary experience? What kind of intimacy is needed to make a text into a work? This essay seeks to answer these questions by focusing on the writings of Arvind Krishna Mehrotra. In doing so, it suggests that the challenges of cultural distance may be most acute when dealing with texts from homo-linguistic literary environments, and that we might overcome these challenges by undertaking a world literary criticism that attends to localized fields and materials without forgetting the charge of particular works.
Detecting congestion in DEA by solving one model

Published: April 2021

Presence of input congestion is one of the key issues that results in lower efficiency and performance in Decision Making Units (DMUs). So, determination of congestion is of prime importance, and removing it improves performance of DMUs. One of the most appropriate methods for detecting congestion is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Since the output of inefficient units can be increased by keeping the input constant through projecting on the weak efficiency frontier, it is unnecessary to determine the congested inefficient DMUs. Therefore, in this case we solely determine congested vertex units. Towards this aim, only one LP model in DEA is proposed and the status of congestion (strong congestion and weak congestion) obtained. In our method, a vertex unit under evaluation is eliminated from the production technology, and then, if there exists an activity that belongs to the production technology with lower inputs and higher outputs compared with omitted unit, we say vertex unit evidences congestion. One of the features of our model is that by solving only one LP model and with easier and fewer calculations compared to other methods, congested units can be identified. Data set obtained from Japanese chain stores for a period of 27 years is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model and the results are compared with some previous methods.
