Analysis of Trend in Groundwater-Quality Parameters: A Case Study
Authors: Ghosh Subhankar , Jha Madan Kumar
Published: January 2023

In the 21st century, groundwater has a pivotal role in ensuring water, food, and environmental securities worldwide. Systematic observation, protection and restoration are essential for sustainable management of water resources. Regular monitoring is key to investigate temporal changes in groundwater quality, and statistical trend tests define whether these changes are significant or not. This study focuses on investigating trend in seasonal groundwater quality in an alluvial coastal basin of West Bengal, India. The seasonal groundwater-quality data (pH, TH, TDS, Fe2+ and HCO3ˉ) of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons were collected for 2011–2018 period and analyzed using three non-parametric statistical trend detection tests, namely: (i) Original Mann-Kendall (M-K) test, (ii) Modified Mann-Kendall (mM-K) test, and (iii) Spearman Rank Order Correlation (SROC) test. The trend magnitudes were estimated by using the Sen’s slope estimation test. Statistical analyses revealed that seasonal concentrations of all five groundwater-quality parameters have large spatial (block-wise) variation within the study area. The results of trend analyses indicated that seasonal TH and TDS concentrations mainly have significant decreasing trends (α = 5% or 1%), whereas seasonal HCO3ˉ and Fe2+ concentrations mostly show significant increasing trends (α = 5% or 1%) in different blocks. However, seasonal pH concentrations exhibited no trend. The mM-K test was found to be over-sensitive in finding trends than M-K and SROC tests. The SROC test was found to be less sensitive in detecting trends than M-K and mM-K tests. Trend magnitudes of seasonal pH, TH, TDS, HCO3ˉ and Fe2+ concentrations varied from –0.03/year to 0.23/year, –57.44 mg/L/year to 25.88 mg/L/year, –172.98 mg/L/year to 92.58 mg/L/year, –15.81 mg/L/year to 27.88 mg/L/year, and –0.05 mg/L/year to 0.61 mg/L/year, respectively. Continuous and proper groundwater-quality monitoring is critically required in all aquifer systems. The outcomes of this study will aid policy-makers in appropriately monitoring and managing groundwater quality.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Compare the importance of complex (areas and volumes) and simple (lengths and girths) surface anthropometrics in the descriptive anthropometric assessment of the lower body of male cyclists from different disciplines. Method: Using a 3dMDBody5 3D surface imaging system and bespoke software (KinAnthroScan), anthropometrics of the lower body of 23 male non-cyclists and 57 elite male cyclists from different cycling disciplines: sprint (track and road (hill)), endurance (road, > 50 miles), time trial (road, < 50 miles) and mountain bike (cross-country and enduro) were collected. Results: Several anthropometrics differed between cycling groups and when compared to the non-cyclists group; the sprint group demonstrated the largest magnitude of difference with other cycling disciplines and the non-cyclists group, whereas the time trial and mountain bike groups demonstrated the least. Complex anthropometrics were able to distinguish between groups as effectively as simple anthropometrics, and in some cases, were able to distinguish differences that were unidentifiable through simple anthropometrics alone. Conclusions: Researchers, anthropometrists and practitioners should consider the collection and use of complex anthropometrics to improve the understanding of anthropometric differences within descriptive anthropometry, alongside adopting caution when researching groups of cyclists from different disciplines due to their differing anthropometric profiles - categorising them by discipline when possible.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Canoeing and Kayaking are water sports featured by skill and endurance. Physiological and anthropometric variables play a substantial role in almost all games and sports and Canoeing and Kayaking could not be segregated from them. Several researches had been carried out in the field of Canoeing and Kayaking including anthropometric and physiological characteristics but very scanty account of these studies was concentrated on Indian paddlers. Hence, our study aimed at assessing the anthropometric and physiological profiles of Indian male and female Canoers and Kayakers and determining and explaining the differences between these groups. Method: Anthropometric parameters were measured according to standard protocols followed by ISAK manual. Body density was predicted using Durnin and Womersley equation (1974) and body fat % using the Siri method (1956). VO2max was predicted from Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MSRT). Results: Lean body mass was found to be higher in Kayakers than Canoers. Body fat percentage was found to be significantly higher among female Kayakers than female Canoers which was 26.53±4.28 and 18.96±1.54 respectively. Physiological variables when concerned showed that relative back strength and oxygen consumption of female Canoers were significantly higher than that of female Kayakers which were 2.22±0.14 kg, 45.20±2.17ml/min/kg and 1.83±0.18kg, 40.71±2.87ml/min/kg respectively. Conclusion: It had been found that both male and female Kayakers were found to be taller and heavier than the male and female Canoers respectively.

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are the leading cause of mortality in the world. Among NCD varieties, obesity is a public health problem around the world, but it is especially important in poor or developing countries. The aim of this study is to explore the body composition, physical activity and food diversity in university students from Morelia, Mexico. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted with 422 students of university level. We used bioimpedance and anthropometry to determine the body composition of the students. The physical activity was analyzed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while the food diversity was assessed by the guidelines for measuring household and individual dietary diversity of the Food and Agriculture Organization. Results: A matrix of 16 anthropometric variables was reduced to three principal components with a variance accumulate of 88.04% to women and 78.9% to men. We were able to separate groups of women based on anthropometric variables. In men, the percentage of muscle is the variable that most influences the separation of groups. The physical activity ranges from moderate to high; on average it was 5028.4 and 4449.4 MET-minutes/week for men and women respectively. A high food diversity and equitability of consumption was found, the socioeconomic level of the students does not allow inferring food insecurity. In men we found more associated variables than in women and we found no relationship with dietary diversity. We found statistically significant relationships between chronological age and metabolic age in both sexes, but we did not find a relationship between actual weight and ideal weight. Conclusion: In conclusion, we describe the body composition, anthropometry, physical activity and food diversity of university students.

Published: January 2023

From an economic growth perspective, infrastructure is not only an enabling factor for development or for facilitating private investments and competitiveness across all sectors of national and regional economies, but can also be an attractive investment opportunity in itself. Although infrastructure investment opportunities are plentiful across developing countries, investors are not fully seizing them, often due to gaps in the enabling environment for such investment. The infrastructure sector presents specific risks to private investors and since private participation in infrastructure delivery is a relatively recent form of procurement in many countries, governments do not necessarily have the experience and capacity needed to effectively manage these risks. Beyond case-by-case project preparation and financing, concrete, implementation-oriented guidance that can help governments identify and manage reforms is needed to make the broader infrastructure investment environment more open to private participation.

This article proposes a tax sharing scheme between governments and private sector investors of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure. The current COVID-19 pandemic has not only emphasized the crucial need of ICT infrastructure development, but has also expanded government budget deficits in many countries. Therefore, participation from the private sectors is necessary to close the widening investment gap in ICT infrastructure. One of the measures to attract private sectors’ involvement in ICT infrastructure is by creating a steady stream of income for the investors. To ensure the success of the proposed financing scheme, this article also recommends the development of supporting hard and soft infrastructure as well as the digitalization of tax reporting systems.

Acoustic properties for Ga–Sn–Zn liquid metal coupler with low melting point and high acoustic impedance
Authors: Ohashi Yuji , Murakami Rikito , Yamaguchi Hiroaki , Yokota Yuui , Yoshikawa Akira
Published: January 2023

Acoustic properties of Ga–Sn–Zn (GSZ) liquid alloy coupler with high acoustic impedance were investigated to evaluate materials with high acoustic impedance. GSZ liquid alloy was prepared and its longitudinal wave velocity and attenuation coefficient were measured using the plane-wave ultrasonic material characterization system. Density of the GSZ liquid alloy was also measured by a constant volume expansion method. The acoustic impedance of the GSZ was 12 times higher than that of the water. Attenuation coefficient of GSZ is much smaller than that of water, exhibiting 7.6 dB mm−1 for water and 0.5 dB mm−1 for GSZ at 200 MHz. Considering the reflection and transmission coefficients at each medium boundary calculated from the experimentally obtained acoustic impedance, it was suggested that the amplitude of the reflected wave from the back surface of the Ir sample can be made about 30 times larger with the GSZ coupler than with the water coupler.
Macro modeling of liquid crystal cell using machine learning method: reservoir computing approach
Authors: Watanabe Makoto , Kotani Kiyoshi , Jimbo Yasuhiko
Published: January 2023

A macro model of liquid crystal cells including electrical and optical behaviors has been developed using a machine learning framework called reservoir computing and implemented into a circuit simulator. Assuming the arbitrary time steps given from the circuit simulator, we confirmed that our model in which the time-continuous reservoir update equation is discretized by a fourth-order Runge–Kutta method shows high prediction accuracy even at the different time steps from that in the training phase. The director distribution of liquid crystals, which is the microscopic state that realizes the specific macroscopic characteristic, capacitance, and transmittance, is not uniquely determined. Therefore, it is essential to utilize the reservoir’s ability to memorize history to improve prediction accuracy. We found it effective to adjust the parameters that control memory length and update speed according to the response time of each capacitance and transmittance.
Raman scattering study on dilute nitride-bismide GaNAsBi alloys: behavior of photo-excited LO phonon-plasmon coupled mode
Authors: Hasegawa Sho , Hasuike Noriyuki , Kanegae Kazutaka , Nishinaka Hiroyuki , Yoshimoto Masahiro
Published: January 2023

We present a Raman scattering study of as-grown and annealed GaAsBi, GaNAs, and GaNAsBi epilayers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. In particular, photo-excited longitudinal optical phonon-plasmon-coupled (LOPC) modes were investigated using excitation power-dependent measurements. The optical properties of the samples were characterized by photoluminescence and photoreflectance measurements. From Raman scattering, local vibrational modes and disordered activated modes originating from N- and Bi-alloying were confirmed. The strong photo-excited LOPC modes observed in GaAsBi can be attributed to hole trapping caused by the Bi-induced shallow localized states. The weak photo-excited LOPC modes observed in the as-grown GaNAs and GaNAsBi indicate rapid carrier trapping owing to the high defect density in these dilute nitride alloys. After thermal annealing of GaNAs and GaNAsBi, the heavily damped photo-excited LOPC modes were observed, which can be explained by the low electron mobilities related to the N-induced shallow localized states.

Published: January 2023

This research aimed to explore the use of Contemplative Practices (CPs) as a growing teaching pedagogy to cope with the challenges faced by the Higher Education. More specifically, to explore what CPs do the higher education faculty members of Pakistan use in their teaching intentionally or unintentionally. This quantitative survey research presented the findings from a survey outlining six major categories of CPs followed by their sub-practices. Data were collected through Survey Monkey from 502 faculty members of the Master Trainers Faculty Professional Development Program (MT-FPDP). For the analysis of data descriptive statistics (percentage analysis) was used. The results of this study showed that faculty members of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) did not incorporate stillness, creative, movement, and ritual practices in their teaching. Though, it was found that they use generative and relational practices in their class. They feel more confident and at ease to use practices of dialogues, discussions, perspective sharing, and storytelling. Based on the results of the study researchers recommend that to enable faculty members to use CPs in their class HEC, HEIs, and professional development organizations in Pakistan should plan conferences, training workshops, and seminars with the collaboration of HEIs.

Conclusions: The study concluded that there was a clear ignorance of infectious diseases that could be transmitted through this practice. The study also concluded that the motives for the practice were very weak.
Recommendations: The study recommended on the need to raise the level of perception among the society about the health risks associated with the practice through the mass media. Also, in the event of its occurrence, obligations and commitments towards values, traditions, and religious beliefs must be respected.
Walking the Line: Supporting Professionals Working with Patients Experiencing Suicidal Ideation
Authors: Hussain Dr. Feryad A
Published: January 2023

Working with patients who experience suicidal ideation is a challenging role for mental health professionals. Whilst services ensure that patients are rightfully protected from avoidable harm and moral injury, it appears that staff are not given the same consideration. Existing models of trauma informed care may be readily adapted to include a both staff and patients since it's principles apply beyond mental health services to all services and beyond patients to all those involved in healthcare.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to conduct an analysis of the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of prostate abscess and a review of the literature. Clinical Observation: We report the case of a 24-year-old patient; admitted to our ward for acute detention associated with a febrile state at (38°C). On physical examination, the digital rectal examination could not assess the condition of the prostate due to severe pain and the rest of the examination was unremarkable. We formulated the following diagnostic hypotheses: prostate abscess, prostate cyst, acute prostatitis. Ultrasound allowed the diagnosis of a prostatic intraparenchymal cyst. The CBC reveals hyperleukocytosis and the ECBU came back positive for Escherichia coli. The diagnosis of a prostate abscess was retained after a guided echo puncture. Treatment consisted of transperineal drainage combined with antibiotic therapy suitable for ECB of pus aspirated during ultrasound-guided puncture. The evolution was favourable. Conclusion: Prostatic abscess is a rare pathology. Faced with a prostate collection in a febrile context, a puncture under ultrasound guidance could confirm the diagnosis. His treatment of choice remains endoscopic drainage and adapted antibiotic therapy.

Psoriasis is a chronic and multisystemic inflammatory disease, several factors can trigger it or aggravate it, including certain drugs including hydroxychloroquine. This drug, widely prescribed for COVID 19 infection, can trigger a flare-up of psoriasis, particularly the pustular form. Furthermore, patients with coronavirus 2019 infection, have increased plasma concentrations of inflammation-related cytokines which are also implicated in the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis, this may suggest that COVID-19 may be a new entity which exacerbates psoriasis. We report the observation of a patient who presented with psoriasis exacerbated by taking hydroxychloroquine following infection with covid 19.

Schiff bases are regarded as “privileged ligands” due to their capability to form complexes with a wide range of transition metal ions yielding stable and intensely colored metal complexes. In this study, equimolar amounts of 4-methyl-5-imidazolecarboxaldehyde and thiosemicarbazide were combined and the Schiff base 4-methyl-5-imidazolecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone was prepared as a new bidentate complexing agent. The synthesized ligand was reacted with palladium (II) and platinum (II) ions yielding air-stable complexes. For characterization purpose, mass spectra and x-ray analysis of the ligand and infrared spectra, electronic spectra, thermal analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and 13-carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra studies were carried out on the obtained ligand and its complexes. The characterization data showed that the ligand acts as a bidentate coordinate to the metal ions through azomethine nitrogen and sulfur atom. An in vitro antimicrobial investigation was also carried out for the free ligand and its metal complexes against four bacteria; Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium (Gram-negative) and one Fungi; Candida albicans. The results showed that the antimicrobial activity of the prepared complexes showed higher activity than the free ligand.

This dissertation studies the application of equivalence theory developed by Mona Baker in translating Persian to Arabic. Among various translation methodologies, Mona Baker’s bottom-up equivalency approach is unique in several ways. Baker’s translation approach is a multistep process. It starts with studying the smallest linguistic unit, “the word”, and then evolves above the level of words leading to the translation of the entire text. Equivalence at the word level, i.e., word for word method, is the core point of Baker’s approach. This study evaluates the use of Baker’s approach in translation from Persian to Arabic, mainly because finding the correct equivalence is a major challenge in this translation. Additionally, Persian and Arabic languages are closely related. More than 60% of the Persian vocabulary is derived from Arabic roots. We applied Baker’s approach to the translation process by translating words contained in the source texts in this work. We have followed the structures that were developed by Baker in this process. After presenting the results from the vocabulary translation, we introduced the problems that arise from using Baker’s method. Finally, we provided a very detailed discussion and data analysis on the use of Baker’s approach for the Persian-to Arabic translation. تتسم نظرية منى بيكر من بين نظريات الترجمة، بسمة فريدة بنوعها، إذ تبدأ بدراسة اصغر وحدة لغوية، وهي المفردة، ثم تنتقل مرحلة تلو الأخرى وصولاً إلى ترجمة النص بأكمله، ولما كانت جلّ المشاكل التي تعاني منها الترجمة من الفارسية إلى العربية، تتبلور في البحث عن المكافئ الصحيح للمفردة، وذلك لتقارب اللغتين، وإنّ العربية تشكل ما يزيد على ستين بالمائة من مفردات اللغة الفارسية، على هذا قد اخترنا نظرية بيكر لتطبيقها على ترجمة المفردات وذلك من خلال التركيز على المفردات الواردة في النصوص الفكرية، وقد قمنا بتوظيف الاستراتيجيات التي قدمتها بيكر في هذا المجال، وقدّمنا ترجمة المفردات بعد وضعها في خانة المشاكل التي تبرز في ترجمتها، وذلك إتباعاً لنظرية منى بيكر، وفي نهاية المطاف قدمنا النتائج التي خرجنا بها بعد دراسة المفردات وترجمتها إلى العربية.
The Living God (1978)
Authors: Heyns Johan
Published: January 2023

1. How can a person talk about God – a creature about his Creator, a sinful man about the Holy God? Should we not rather follow the inspired counsel of the prophet Habakkuk: let all the earth keep silent before Him! (Habakkuk 2:20)? Will there not be greater justice for Him in a silence about God? Does God himself not keep our mouths closed with his loftiness and glory, with his majesty and exaltation? But if we were to be silent, because we think that this would suit God better, what do we then do with the equally inspired words of the poet: Rejoice before the Lord, all the earth! (Ps. 100:1)? Do we dismiss this as an inexplicable contradiction in the Scripture? Fortunately, we do not have to do this. After all, the Scripture itself is proof that God has not been silent about Himself, and that we therefore may talk about Him and also should talk about Him. But then what is said must be something that suits God – a silent discourse as it were, in which the deep reverence for the living God will radically wipe out and make impossible in advance all signs of human pride in every word about Him and in every formulation concerning Him.
The Triune God and Flourishing
Authors: Marais Nadia

Christian theology is under increasing pressure to deal with issues surrounding human dignity and ecological sustainability. In the face of widespread malpractices in which the dignity and rights of human beings (especially women) are violated, and in the light of the ecological crisis in which the earth and her ecology is endangered, much is asked, and much is required, of theology. Churches, congregations, synods, seminaries, faculties of theology, small groups and individual believers the world over are concerned with the well-being of human and non­human beings. The first challenge to Christian theology lies here, within the widespread violence (often in the very name of the Christian faith) against nature and neighbours.
