Evaluation of the performance of CFSR reanalysis data set for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET0) in Turkey
Authors: Irvem Ahmet , Ozbuldu Mustafa
Published: January 2023

Evapotranspiration is a key process and a necessary parameter for hydrological, meteorological, and agricultural studies. However, the calculation of actual evapotranspiration is very challenging and costly. Therefore, reference evapotranspiration (ET0) calculated using meteorological data is generally preferred over actual evapotranspiration. However, it is challenging to get complete and accurate data from meteorology stations in rural and mountainous regions. This study examined the suitability of the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) reanalysis data set as an alternative to meteorological observation stations to compute seasonal reference evapotranspiration for seven different climatic regions of Turkey. The ET0 calculations using the CFSR reanalysis dataset for 1987-2017 were compared to data at 259 weather stations observed in Turkey. As a result of statistical evaluations, it has been determined that the most successful predicted season is winter (C’ = 0.64-0.89, SPAEF= 0.63-0.81). The most successful estimations for this season were obtained from coastal areas with low elevations. The weakest estimations were obtained for the summer season (C’ = 0.52-0.85, SPAEF= 0.59-0.77). These results show that the ET0 estimation ability of the CFSR reanalysis dataset is satisfactory for the study area. In addition, it has been observed that CFSR tends to overestimate the observation data, especially in the southern and western regions. These findings indicate that the results of the ET0 calculation using the CFSR reanalysis data set are relatively successful for the study area. However, the data should be evaluated with observation data before being used, especially in the summer models.

Authors: Kenmegni Dr. Noumigue Guy Roland
Published: January 2023

Research on access to finance of large enterprises has been flourishing in the finance literature while studies relating to small and medium size enterprises have been less common in Sub-Saharan African countries specifically. In this research we investigate the link between some entrepreneurs’ characteristics (experience, gender and perception of entrepreneur) and Cameroonian SMEs access to credit. This study used the World Bank Enterprises Survey data from 324 Cameroonian SMEs. From descriptive analysis and Independence sample T-test, we found that gender is relevant to explain SMEs’ access to credit. Program policies aimed at SMEs’ entrepreneurs must encourage female entrepreneurs to diversify their financial resources through external formal financial resources.

Published: January 2023

Background: Neonatal septicemia is a clinical illness that occurs within the first four weeks of life and is defined by systemic signs and symptoms brought on by a widespread bacterial infection. The most frequent cause of illness and mortality in the neonatal era is bacterial infections. Early detection of this potentially fatal illness is essential for prompt treatment and a successful outcome since complications like shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and multi-system organ failure can lead to the fulminant and lethal course of infection. Objective: The present study was undertaken to detect the causative organism of neonatal sepsis by blood culture. Method of the Study: This is a cross- sectional study carried out in the Department of Neonatology, BSMMU, Dhaka over a period of 6 months between January 2013 to June 2013. Newborns with suspected sepsis admitted to BSMMU were the study population. Clinically diagnosed cases of neonatal sepsis aged < 28 days of both sexes whose parents or guardians provided informed consent were eligible for enrollment in the study. The subjects were selected consecutively from the study population. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire containing all the variables of interest. Data were processed and analyzed using the computer software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The test statistics used to analyze the data were Chi-square (χ2) or Fisher’s Exact Probability Test & Student’s t-Test. Result: The study included a total of 138 neonates (both preterm and term) of clinically diagnosed cases of sepsis. All the neonates were subjected to test for WBC, IT ratio CRP, and blood culture. In terms of gestational age over 80% were preterm and the rest 19.6% were term neonates. Among the neonates, 40 (29%) had early onset sepsis (EOS) and 98(71%) had late-onset sepsis (LOS). Of the culture- positive cases, Klebsiella was predominant (33.33%) followed by E. coli (22.2%), Acinetobacter (16.66%) and Pseudomonas (11.1%). Less commonly found organisms are Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter, Enterococcous Cytrobacter, and others. Conclusion: Sepsis screening is more useful for ruling out the diagnosis of newborn septicemia, which can be made rationally if two screenings conducted 12 to 24 hours apart are negative. It is preferable to wait for the findings of the sepsis screen before starting antibiotics in a neonate who is otherwise stable or suspected of having sepsis due to maternal risk factors.

Nativos digitales: Dependencia de las redes sociales en internet y su relación con el desempeño académico
Authors: Gómez-Burns Ana
Published: January 2023

En el presente trabajo se analiza la dependencia de las redes sociales en internet y su relación frente al desempeño académico en nativos digitales. Se tomó como muestra a los estudiantes que cursan el primer año en una universidad privada en Arequipa. Con el uso del Cuestionario de Adicción a Redes Sociales (ARS) se evaluaron tres tipos de factores: falta de control personal, obsesión por las redes sociales y uso excesivo de las redes sociales (Escurra & Salas, 2014). Se considera el promedio ponderado reportado en el semestre 2016-II como factor relevante para determinar el desempeño académico. Una vez controladas las variables sociodemográficas importantes, la estimación del modelo de regresión evidencia que no hubo resultados significativos para los hombres, pero sí para las mujeres. En ellas el factor obsesión se encuentra negativamente correlacionado con el desempeño académico, mientras que el factor uso excesivo de redes sociales está positivamente correlacionado. El valor del estudio se encuentra en la posibilidad de mejorar metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje virtual, tomando en consideración la correlación positiva entre uso excesivo de redes sociales y desempeño académico. Finalmente, resulta valioso indagar más acerca de la naturaleza heterogénea del impacto de la dependencia de redes sociales.

Rare words in text summarization
Authors:   , Morozovskii Danila
Published: January 2023

Automatic text summarization is a difficult task, which involves a good understanding of an input text to produce fluent, brief and vast summary. The usage of text summarization models can vary from legal document summarization to news summarization. The model should be able to understand where important information is located to produce a good summary. However, infrequently used or rare words might limit model’s understanding of an input text, as the model might ignore such words or put less attention on them. Another issue is that the model accepts only a limited amount of tokens (words) of an input text, which might contain redundant information or not including important information as it is located further in the text. To address the problem of rare words, we have proposed a modification to the attention mechanism of the transformer model with pointer-generator layer, where attention mechanism receives frequency information for each word, which helps to boost rare words. Additionally, our proposed supervised learning model uses the hybrid approach incorporating both extractive and abstractive elements, to include more important information for the abstractive model in a news summarization task. We have designed experiments involving a combination of six different hybrid models with varying input text sizes (measured as tokens) to test our proposed model. Four wellknown datasets specific to news articles were used in this work: CNN/DM, XSum, Gigaword and DUC 2004 Task 1. Our results were compared using the well-known ROUGE metric. Our best model achieved R-1 score of 38.22, R-2 score of 15.07 and R-L score of 35.79, outperforming three existing models by several ROUGE points.

The employee retention process of encouraging employee to remains with an organization for as long as possible or until the project is completed. Holding representatives is great for both the organization and the worker. The workforce of today is different. They are not the only ones who are not taking advantage of fantastic opportunities. When they are dissatisfied with their current employer or position, they immediately switch jobs. It is the employer's responsibility to keep their best workers. except if they do. They would run out of skilled workers. A viable boss ought to know how to keep and draw in representatives. The majority of workers are of the opinion that their value is greater than their wages. There is unavoidably a gap between what individuals consider to be fair compensation and the amount that businesses spend on it. when the disparity is too great and another opportunity arises. There can be turnover. The amount of money paid to an employee in return for their work for the company is referred to as "pay." Pay more than just "dollars it likewise perceives the worth of human work. Employee turnover is clearly and reliably affected by employee pay, as numerous studies have demonstrated. The company's most important asset is its workforce. Employees are more likely to leave a workplace . they are unable utilize all of their potential and are heard or valued. The business benefits from a stronger, dependable workforce with bright new ideas for its growth when the environment is open and honest, and employees gain a sense of accomplishment and belonging from a productive workplace.

Molecular characterization of the keratinophilic fungi isolated from high altitude regions of Kashmir
Authors: Sehgal Shelly , Dhar Manoj K. , Kaul Sanjana
Published: January 2023

Keratinophilic fungi is an ecologically important group that cycle one of the most abundant and highly stable animal protein on the earth 'Keratin'. The keratin degrading ability of these fungi has been attributed to the production of the extracellular proteases known as keratinases. They have great potential in wool and silk cleaning, leather industry, developing cost effective feather by-products, valorization of the keratin containing wastes, bioremediation and curing skin diseases. In addition, prospective application in prion degradation can revolutionize the protease world in the near future. In the present study, we focussed on the isolation of keratinophilic fungi from the soils of high altitude areas of Kashmir. The sites selected were Khanyar (5173 ft) and Tangmarg (8900 ft). Nineteen isolates of keratinophilic fungi were isolated from these soils by keratin bait technique. These were purified and identified by studying the micro and morphological characters by using relevant literature. Molecular characterization offers more discrimination in fingerprinting an organism and studying its lineage, we thereby relied on PCR based RAPD technique. It is a sensitive and rapid molecular tool for species identification as many fungi do not produce characteristic spores. For molecular characterization, genomic DNA from fungal isolates were isolated and purified. These were then amplified using twenty-one RAPD primers for detecting the polymorphism. PCR products were then separated on the agarose gel. The data was analysed using RAPD-PLOT, PHYLIP and TREE VIEW softwares. Dendrogram generated divided the isolated keratinophiles into three main groups. This data supported the morphological analysis to a noticeable extent.
Shoreline change at Gulf Islands National Seashore, Florida and Mississippi: 2018–2022 data summary
Authors: Bracewell Jeff
Published: January 2023

In May and June 2018, April 2021, and April 2022 the Gulf Coast Network (GULN) surveyed shoreline position at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) as a part of the NPS Vital Signs Monitoring Program. Monitoring was conducted following methods detailed in Monitoring Shoreline Position at Gulf Coast Network Parks: Protocol Implementation Plan (PIP; Bracewell 2017). Shoreline change was calculated using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System developed by USGS (Theiler et al. 2008). Key findings from this effort are as follows: In Florida, the mean shoreline change rate from 2018 to 2022 was -5.14 meters/year (-17.75 feet[ft]/year) with a standard deviation of 4.57 meters (14.99 ft). Approximately 91% of transects exhibited landward retreat. In Mississippi, the mean change in island width from 2018 to 2022 was -7.46 meters/year (-24.5 ft/year) with a standard deviation of 12.49 meters (41.0 ft). Approximately 73% of transects exhibited a loss in width. The 2020 hurricane season was extremely active, causing high shoreline retreat rates from 2018 to 2021. The 2021 hurricane season was much calmer in comparison, and concordantly, rates of shoreline retreat were generally lessened or reversed to shoreline advance between 2021 and 2022. A beach nourishment project on the eastern end of Perdido Key advanced the shoreline an average of 42.2 meters (138.5 ft) within the project area. This report expands on the previous GULN Shoreline Position report (Bracewell 2022a), to document “storminess” and current sea level rise trends. This project is in the early phases of implementation and will benefit from future surveys to better understand the influence of slight changes in survey timing and other environmental variations.
Use of Customer Satisfaction to Measure Performance of Systems and Contractors: Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) Method
Authors: Gajjar Dhaval
Published: January 2023

A roofing manufacturer wants to differentiate themselves from other roofing manufacturers based on performance information. However, construction industry has revealed poor performance documentation in the last couple of decades. With no current developed performance measurement model in the industry, two roofing manufacturers approached the research group to implement a warranty program that measures the performance information of their systems and applicators. Moreover, the success of any project in the construction industry heavily relies upon the capability of the contractor(s) executing the project. Low-performing contractors are correlated with increased cost and delayed schedules, resulting in end-user dissatisfaction with the final product. Hence, the identification and differentiation of the high performing contractors from their competitors is also crucial. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe a new model for measuring manufacturer performance and differentiating contractor performance and capability for two roofing manufacturers (Manufacturer 1 and Manufacturer 2) in the roofing industry. The research uses multiple years of project data and customer satisfaction data collected for two roofing manufacturers for over 1,000 roofing contractors. The performance and end-user satisfaction were obtained for over 7,000 manufacturers' projects and each contractor associated with that project for cost, schedule, and quality metrics. The measurement process was successfully able to provide a performance measurement for the manufacturer based on the customer satisfaction and able to identify low performing contractors. This study presents the research method, the developed measurement model, and proposes a performance measurement process that entities in the construction industry can use to measure performance.

Published: January 2023

Rabies, a neglected viral zoonosis disease, impose a major public health and veterinary importance. There is limited attention to the role of wild animals as sylvatic reservoirs of the rabies virus. Thus, this systematic review aims to identify various types of animals with rabies infection, determine the prevalence of rabies virus in animals, and identify the high-risk animal that could contribute to human rabies. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed and Web of Science databases for papers on rabies in animals published from 2015 until 2019. The articles were analyzed on the prevalence of rabies infection among the animal which ranges from 0% up to 74.16%. The highest was dogs with 0.02% to 74.16% followed by fox 52.93% up to 70.1%. The other two animals namely camel and sheep/goat revealed more than 50% of rabies prevalence of 59.7% and 57.1% respectively. This study shows that the rabies prevalence in the animal varies, and dogs still have the highest prevalence as the leading causes of rabies transmission to the human. Dog and fox are the most common animal with rabies in our systematic review. Thus, domestic animals that are kept as pets especially dogs should be properly vaccinated against rabies. Meanwhile, avoidance or extra cautious while handling wildlife animals should be of primary importance.

Depression, anxiety and stress among emergency responders are emerging issues as they can affect psychological well-being. Firefighting is a highly stressful occupation and highly demanding in terms of physical and psychological capacities. As the studies on job stress factors and mental health among firefighters are significantly low in Malaysia, understanding the job stress factors among Malaysian firefighters has become substantially important. Such studies can create a scientific novelty and contribute to suitable intervention processes by the Malaysian government and Fire and Rescue Department Malaysia in ensuring the high efficiency of emergency responders at all times. Hence, this study aimed to determine the factors contributing to depression, anxiety and stress among firefighters in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study involving 82 firefighters from Grade A and Grade B stations in Kota Bharu, Kelantan was conducted, and a validated National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Generic Job Stress Questionnaire (NIOSH GJSQ) was used. The results indicated that physical environment, job future, job requirement, mental demand, workload and responsibility, as well as problem at work, conflict at work and self-esteem have a high possibility to be attributed as stress factors for firefighters. Additionally, the physical environment has the highest contribution as a stressor for firefighters at 79.8%. The findings also found that self-esteem is correlated to problem at work (r = 0.305) and job requirement (r = 0.276). In conclusion, this study has identified the contributing factors that influence the psychological well-being of firefighters in Malaysia. Therefore, it is suggested that further research should be conducted to prevent the arising of mental health problems among firefighters in Malaysia.

China’s Strategic Involvement in Africa and its Regional Implications (1949-2022)
Authors: Abid Faiza , Fatima Haya , Safdar Aiysha
Published: January 2023

China’s strategic involvement in the African region is multi-faceted as it seeks to bolster economic, political, and security ties. Chinese security and political engagement with African countries are driven by its interest in stimulating its economic rise. This research is qualitative and exploratory in nature and utilizes the concept of strategic culture to analyze the motivations behind Beijing’s interests and behavior in the African continent. Confucian-Mencian and Parabellum form two major strands of Chinese Strategic Culture, making it a unique Cult of Defense. Three important case studies have been analyzed through the prism of the country’s strategic culture, i.e. Chinese economic engagement with one of its largest trading partners― South Africa―, Chinese political engagement in the conflicts of Sudan and South Sudan, and lastly, its security engagement in Djibouti where it established its first foreign military base. Chinese three-dimensional engagements in Africa have had both positive and negative implications for the region. This research concludes that Chinese strategic culture is not static and likely to adapt itself in accordance with the opportunities available for Beijing and its goals in Africa.

Authors: Chaudhari Mayur , Shukla Vipul Desai & Devendra , Meena Laxman
Published: January 2023

A newly imidazolium linked chalcone ionic LCs (5a-5f) based on two phenyl rings have been synthesized by the quaternization of 1-methylimidaazole and 3,4,-dialkoxy substituted chalcone derivatives. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were observed by optical polarized light microscopy (POM) and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. All synthesized compounds exhibited mesogenic properties on heating and cooling condition. Thermal stability of smectic and nematic phase of present ILCs are higher as compared to series-1. Their chemical structures were identified by using 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy.
