Ductile deformations along the south-western contact of the Rila-Rhodope batholith, West Rhodopes, Bulgaria
Authors: Balkanska Eleonora , Dimov Dimo
Published: May 2022

We have determined the deformation features along the southern and south-western contacts of the Rila-Rhodope batholith, as well as in the host metamorphic rocks, in order to clarify the deformation conditions and emplacement mechanism of this large granitic pluton. The studied area is located in the southwest Bulgaria, northeast of the town of Gotse Delchev. The field and microstructural observations along cross-sections of the contact suggest syntectonic emplacement of the Rila-Rhodope batholith relative to the last amphibolite facies metamorphism. The features of the granites and their host rocks that support this conclusion are: (1) conformity of the magmatic foliation and lineation to the solid-state foliation and mineral stretching lineation in the granites, as well as in the host metamorphic rocks; (2) identical synkinematic shear determined in both the granites and their host rocks indicating top-to-the SW direction of the tectonic transport; (3) presence of non-deformed veins of granitoid material indicating the existence of granitic melts after the imposing of the ductile deformation; (4) solid-state deformation at amphibolite facies conditions. The intrusion of the granites could be related to the period of extension of the Rhodope Massif resulting in exhumation of the deeper parts of the crust and the development of the Rhodope metamorphic core complexes during Paleogene times. Another ductile shear zone existing between the two distinguished metamorphic units is also reported. It predates the one along the contact of the batholith and is characterized by higher degree of shearing deformation.

Published: May 2022

Like any other Freedom struggle, the Indian National movement too witnessed a great deal of revolutionary thought movement in the initial years of 1900AD. A section of people especially well educated in India supported the revolutionary ideas and contributed greatly to the awakening masses and consolidation of freedom struggle against alien rulers. As a result, the revolutionaries rationalized the fight against alien rulers and infused the idea of self-determination and self-reliance used as a tool to motivate the youth especially. Most of the revolutionaries had common parlance and opined that the British were for the exploitation of resources meant for Indians and nothing more than that. Therefore, the revolutionaries felt that salvation for the motherland thus lay in the attainment of Swaraj alone for Indians. In fact, this made them to think in terms of political independence and economic self-sufficiency was the mandatory requirement for attainment of Swaraj. The cult of Swadeshi movement became vanguard for the youth to imbibe sympathies were manifested in the revolutionary activities. This article elucidates the significant role played by youth in propagating the revolutionary ideals for making national movement as a mass movement. Furthermore, through this paper discussed various issues confronted by youth while profess the prospects of revolutionary thought movement.

Published: May 2022

Borehole water remains a source of potable water in Nigeria. Therefore, regular monitoring of the safety of drinking water cannot be over-emphasized. Hence the need to study the safety of water in wash borehole from Pantisawa Yorro Local Government of Taraba State, Nigeria. A total of 15 samples from wash boreholes were randomly collected aseptically using sterilized bottles and igniting with a flame lighter on the surface of the water outlet from the five different zones (Pantisawa Main Market YM, Kapazang YG, Dola YD, Kallau YK and Zabi YZ) of Pantisawa. The pour plate technique was used to ascertain microbial load while trace metals in water samples were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) PG-990. The total bacteria coliform count in the borehole water samples ranged between 1.00×106 cfu/ml and 9.00×105 cfu/ml which generally exceeded the World health organization (WHO) standard limit of 1.0 x 102 cfu/ml for water. The most prevalent or predominant bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus with 40% distribution occurrences from four sample sites (YG, YM, YD and YK). E.coli had a 20 % distribution while Bacillus spp, Enterococcus spp, Salmonella spp, Streptococcus spp, Staphylococcus and Shigella spp  showed low percent distribution. The trace metal analysis for the water revealed the absence of Pb in all the water samples analyzed, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu were below the admissible limits for all the sites except for Fe in sites YG which fall above the standard. All other elements (Ni, Cd, As and Co) were above the threshold limit set by National Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) and the World Health Organization (WHO) respectively. Thus, the presence of pollutants and microbial contaminants may have serious health risks to the people using such water for drinking and other domestic activities.

Published: May 2022

Every year lakhs and lakhs of students are graduating. The students from top colleges find a suitable job with fewer struggles since most of the companies visits their college for recruitment. But this is not the same case for all colleges. So these students go in search of search engines to find a suitable job. This is not an easy task. Thus a recommendation engine that would recommend jobs based on their search history is built. Currently, more websites give plenty of information about job opportunities that may not intersect. The goal is to ease the work of job searchers by providing them with personalized job recommendations from various websites. This approach tries to overcome the drawbacks of existing papers such as cold start problems, security issues and scalability thus providing a better recommendation system. Thus the recommender system can play a significant role to help college graduates and job seekers to fulfill their dreams by recommending a job based on their interests.

Published: May 2022

Water covers around 3/4th of our planet’s surface and is one of the most significant sources of energy for the continuation of life on the planet. In the wake of rapid urbanization and industrialization, water quality has declined at an alarming rate, leading to the spread of life-threatening illnesses and diseases. The consequences of polluted water are far-reaching, affecting every area of human existence. As a result, effective management of water is critical to ensuring that the water's quality is optimized. When data is evaluated and water quality predictions are made in advance, the consequences of water pollution may be dealt with more effectively. There have been many prior studies that have addressed this problem; nevertheless, there is still more work that needs to be done to improve the efficacy, dependability, accuracy, and usefulness of the existing water quality management methods. The goal of this research is to predict water portability by comparing the accuracy of six different machine learning models on a dataset containing water quality metrics for 3276 different water bodies and 10 features.

越南是目前台商在新南向國家中投資最多的國家，且隨著大陸投資環境變遷，已有需多大型台商跨國製造業將製造基地遷往越南，使得台灣母公司的管理及技術等相關人才需外派台幹進駐越南，但許多員工並不願離開台灣，故考驗著公司外派制度。本研究以大型跨國製造業Y公司的員工作為研究對象，探討影響員工外派越南意願的因素。本研究提出越南整體環境、越南廠環境、公司外派政策、家庭親友支持、生涯態度、薪資期待、越南接受度，共七組影響外派意願的因素，並建立影響外派意願的因果關係模型。在模型中，共有11路徑及研究假設，並以相關分析、正典相關分析、複迴歸分析來檢定後，11假設皆成立，這表示這些因素間確實有高度相關。且以路徑分析來驗證飽和模型是否成立，結果發現11路徑有8達顯著水準，修正模型後，這七條路徑的因果關係模型成立。本研究建議公司為提升外派意願及確保外派台幹及越南廠績效，需在台時規劃相關課程及安排與越南籍員工共事等措施，讓員工進一步認識越南環境並進而接受越南及其文化，並持續優化外派政策與越南廠環境等。

 

Vietnam is currently the country with the most Taiwanese investment in the new Southbound countries, and with the changes in the investment environment on the Mainland China, there are already many large-scale Taiwanese multinational manufacturing companies that need to relocate their manufacturing factories to Vietnam, making the management and technology of the Taiwan parent company relevant talents need to be sent to Vietnam, but many employees are unwilling to leave Taiwan, so the company’s expatriate system is tested. This study uses employees of large multinational manufacturing company Y as the research object, and explores the factors that affect employees’ willingness to expatriate Vietnam.

This study puts forward seven groups of factors affecting the willingness to send out, including the overall environment of Vietnam, the environment of the Vietnamese factory, the company’s expatriate policy, family and friends support, career attitude, salary expectations, and acceptance in Vietnam, and establishes a causal relationship model that affects the willingness to expatriate. In the model, there are a total of 11 research hypotheses, and after verification by correlation analysis, canonical correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis, all 11 hypotheses are established, which means that these factors are indeed highly correlated. In addition, the cause and path analysis is used to verify whether the saturation model is valid, and it is found that 8 of the 11 cause paths reach a significant level. After the model is revised, the causal relationship model of these seven causal paths is established.

This research suggests that in order to increase the willingness to expatriate overseas workers and ensure the performance of the expatriate Taiwanese and Vietnamese factories, the company needs to plan relevant courses and arrange to work with Vietnamese employees together while in Taiwan, so that employees can further understand the Vietnamese environment and accept Vietnam and its culture, And continuous to optimize the expatriate policy and Vietnam factory environment.

The Unridden Donkey Colt: Mark 11:2 in Light of Equine Development and Pedagogy
Authors: Keener Craig S.
Published: May 2022

Most modern readers, unacquainted with the training of donkeys, miss a crucial element in Mark’s description of Jesus’s donkey ride to Jerusalem. A colt that had “never been ridden” before normally would balk and not provide a suitable mount even for the brief journey recounted in this narrative. Mark’s description of its recruitment and cooperation thus implies divine enablement. The colt, unlike most humans in Mark’s Gospel, submits to its rightful lord.
Forgetting Greekness inRomola
Authors: Ünlüönen Sezen
Published: May 2022

Critics have uncovered many relevant contexts to further our understanding of Romola, from fifteenth-century Florentine politics and Piero di Cosimo’s Higher Primitivism to Eliot’s quarry and Leighton’s illustrations. In this article, I look at a previously understudied context that is crucial to our understanding of Romola: the Turkish conquest of former Greek territories in the fifteenth century. I show that, in Romola, following the Turkish conquest, an amnesia surrounds all things Greek (from Tito and Baldassare to Greek churches), and I argue that this amnesia is ideologically motivated in the aftermath of the Crimean War during which Britain was an ally of the Ottomans against Greek interests. Ultimately, this insight helps us see that for Romola, artworks are the true bearers of history even in the face of ideological erasure.

Course Grade Reliability
Authors: Eubanks David A. , Good A. J. , Schramm-Possinger Megan
Published: May 2022

This study analyzes the reliability of approximately 800,000 college grades from three higher educational institutions that vary in type and size. Comparisons of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) reveal patterns among institutions and academic disciplines. Results from this study suggest that there are styles of grading associated with academic disciplines. Individual grade assignment ICC is comparable to rubric-derived learning assessments at one institution, and both are arguably too low to be used for decision making at that level. A reliability lift calculation suggests that grade averages over eight (or so) courses per student have enough reliability to be used as outcome measures. We discuss how grade statistics can complement efforts to assess program fairness, rigor, and comparability, as well as assessing the complexity of a curriculum. The R code and statistical notes are included to facilitate use by assessment and institutional research offices.

Authors: Hu Ying , Wei Ling , Chen Xingui , Jiang Yubao , Xie Chengjuan , Wang Kai
Published: May 2022

Introduction: The aim of this study is to report a fatal case of Listeria monocytogenes septicemia and meningitis complicating azathioprine and glucocorticosteroid treatments during an acute flare of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

Case Report: A Chinese woman who was diagnosed with NMOSD had been on oral prednisolone and azathioprine for about three years. After her fourth relapse, she was treated with high-dose glucocorticosteroids again, and she soon developed an impaired consciousness, headache, and neck stiffness. Her blood culture was positive for L. monocytogenes, and a head computed tomography showed severe hydrocephalus. Although shunt surgery was performed and antibiotics were used, the patient continued to decline and eventually died.

Conclusion: We reported the first Asian case of azathioprine-associated L. monocytogenes septicemia in a patient with NMOSD. Physicians should be aware of this serious and potentially lethal side effect when adding multiple immunosuppressants to the regimen of a patient who is already immunocompromised.

Prospects for Pakistan-China-Iran Trilateral Cooperation: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Fatima Raza
Published: May 2022

Pakistan, China and Iran are situated in the same region brimming with natural resources, blessed with geographic significance and endowed with massive economic potential. The prospects of trilateral cooperation are bright as apart from being geographically contiguous to one another, their strategic and economic interests also overlap. Economic initiatives of regional connectivity, being channelised mainly by China in this part of the world, are in total collaboration with Pakistan and Iran’s respective economic and foreign policies in the region. The challenges to these initiatives are many as the security situation in this region has always remained harrowing. Terrorism, religious extremism, sectarian clashes and interference of extra-regional actors are only a few challenges that stand in the way of this nexus. The internal challenges of political instability and socio-economic factors can also affect this nexus adversely. However, if the leadership, governments’ policies and public opinion in these three countries remain steadfast in support of this trilateral cooperation, there is no doubt in the future, the success of this nexus, which would change the economic and regional architecture of Asia forever.

O semiárido do Nordeste brasileiro está sujeito a períodos de escassez severa de água, ameaçando à qualidade e quantidade desse recurso natural, causando diminuição da qualidade de vida e do desenvolvimento econômico e social. Nesse cenário, buscou-se, através de uma revisão da literatura, descrever e analisar estratégias didáticas que enfatizam a conservação e sustentabilidade da água no âmbito escolar da região semiárida, bem como compreender os possíveis empecilhos e avanços apresentados em torno da aplicação dessas medidas na última década. Verificou-se que apesar dos estudos analisados serem atuais sobre a temática em questão, estes são pouco disseminados, o que pode levar a permanência dos problemas ambientais e antrópicos presentes na região semiárida do Nordeste brasileiro. Assim, torna-se imprescindível a inserção da educação ambiental como disciplina obrigatória na grade curricular educacional, sendo utilizada como meio para a compreensão e interação dos alunos em preservar e cuidar do meio ambiente, proporcionando a formação do ser consciente e, consequentemente uma sociedade mais sustentável.

O ensino de Ciências e Biologia tem sido motivo de grandes preocupações para pesquisadores em educação nas últimas décadas devido a sua linguagem específica. O ensino desses componentes curriculares se torna mais complexo quando se tenta contextualizar com temas ligados ao semiárido brasileiro.  Uma alternativa consiste no uso de capazes de promover a aprendizagem de forma lúdica e interessante, promovendo ganhos significativos na relação ensino-aprendizagem com os alunos. Este trabalho consiste num levantamento da literatura das práticas pedagógicas e concepções de professores e alunos voltadas para o ensino de ciências e biologia que caracterizem a educação contextualizada para a convivência com o semiárido. A compreensão, ainda que de forma parcial, do estado da arte dos trabalhos voltados para o semiárido nos últimos anos, tornando-se fundamental para o preenchimento de lacunas existentes no ensino-aprendizagem desta área de estudo. Constatamos que mesmo diante da carência de estrutura específica, como laboratórios especializados, há um esforço por parte das escolas no sentido de promover a contextualização do ensino, sobretudo no fundamental e médio, mesmo que forma maneira discreta.

Objetivou-se caracterizar epidemiologicamente os criatórios de aves de subsistência localizados no entorno do Sítio migratório de Panaquatira – MA. Para realização da pesquisa utilizou-se os formulários de colheita de material biológico e registros de estabelecimentos avícola obtidos durante procedimentos de campo para realização de monitoramento sorológico das aves de subsistência do entorno do Sítio, os quais foram cedidos pelo Serviço Veterinário Oficial do estado. Foram selecionadas 35 propriedades com exploração de aves em um raio de 10 km a partir do Sítio de Panaquatira, sendo 14 (40%) no município de São José de Ribamar, sete (20%) em Raposa e 14 (40%) em Paço do Lumiar. A maioria dos criadores é do sexo masculino (54,3%), na faixa etária >50 anos (45,7%), baixa escolaridade (54,3%), criando as aves em áreas de até cinco hectares (91,4%), com até 30 aves no plantel (45,9%) e sem comercialização das aves produzidas (74,3%). Identificou-se baixo nível de tecnificação e pouco conhecimento sobre doenças das aves. Conclui-se que a maioria dos criadores é carente de conhecimentos técnicos e sanitários, suas criações são de pequeno porte, com instalações rústicas e pouca tecnologia empregada no manejo dos animais

This research was conducted due to the lack of students’ awareness of the importance of health protocol behavior such as: no mask, no social distancing, no hand-washing, and no health awareness. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impacts of the BATIK module (health integrated thematic learning material) on the conceptual understanding and behavior of clean and healthy living for elementary school students.The research design was quasi-experimental in form of a post-test control group design. The samples of the research were 58 students, consisting of 30 students for the experimental class and 28 students for the control class. Test and questionnaire methods were used for collecting the data. The test with 10 essay questions was used to examine the conceptual understanding. The questionnaire, consisting of 30 statements, was used to measure clean and healthy living behavior. The data analysis technique used was Manova. The results showed that there were significant differences in the understanding of the concept and behavior of clean and healthy living among the students who were taught by using the BATIK module and students who were not.  So, it can be recommended that this module can be used as an alternative source of learning in elementary schools.

Background: Changes in peri-implant hard and soft tissues, as well as restorative and patient-based subjective measures are the most widely used parameters for evaluating the outcomes of implant therapy. The present study was conducted to assess the influence of soft tissue biotype on the marginal bone changes around dental implants. Materials & Methods: 58 patients who received dental implants of both genders were included. In all patients, initial mucosal thickness, marginal bone levels on radiographs, pain, and exudation were evaluated. All these parameters were recorded at the time of implant placement, at the time of cementation of final restoration, 6 months and 12 months post cementation. Results: Out of 58 patients, males were 20 and females were 38. The mean mucosal thickness at baseline, second stage, at cementation, 6 months and 12 months was 2.82, 1.90, 1.54, 2.62 and 3.42 in thick mucosa and 1.65, 0.84, 0.69, 1.14 and 1.62 at thin mucosa. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The mean pocket depth at cementation was 2.52, at 6 months was 3.20 and at 12 months was 3.24 in thick and 2.12 at cementation, 3.10 at 6 months and 3.16 at 12 months in thin biotype respectively.
