Basites of Vilyui-Markhinsky dike belt (Vilyui paleorift)
and their relations with Nakyn field kimberlites
Authors: Cherenkov Vladimir , Kornilova Viktoria , Golubeva Yulia , Gerasimova Marina
Published: January 2022

The Vilyui-Markhinsky dike belt (VMDB), which

was formed as a result of Devonian rifting on the eastern

margin of the Siberian Platform, is the marginal

part (area of scattered rifting) of the Vilyui paleorift

structure. The Nakyn field is located in the central part

of the belt, but is controlled by an independent system of

NNE-trending tectonic faults. The belt dyke intrudes the

Nyurbinskaya kimberlite pipe. On their contact, specific

breccias were formed resulting from the interaction between

degassing products of basic magma with kimberlites.

The typical zonality of the dyke endocontact indicates

a later dyke introduction. Dolerite dikes thermally

metamorphosed breccias in which high-temperature

neoplasms of andradite, Al-lizardite, and clinochrysotile

were generated. VMDB basites represent a single association,

in which two series of rocks are distinguished:

moderate-titanium (TiO2 ~ 2.5 wt. %) with normal alkalinity

and low P2O5 content, and high-titanium (TiO2

~ 4.4 wt. %), occasionally with moderate alkalinity. The

differences in the dike composition are insignificant and

are the result of natural variations in the composition

of individual bodies. 40Ar/39Ar dating of the VMDB basites,

the method characterized by the best results convergence,

shows that they formed in a narrow timeframe

corresponding to the Upper Frasnian – Famenian stage

of the Upper Devonian (368.5 to 376.3 Ma). The location

of the Nakyn field basites and kimberlites is controlled

by faults of various types, orientation and age. Kimberlites

formed first, and VMDB intrusions followed.

Luwak coffee (palm civet coffee) is known as one of the most expensive coffee in the world. In order to lower production costs, Indonesian producers and retailers often mix high-priced Luwak coffee with regular coffee green beans. However, the absence of tools and methods to classify Luwak coffee counterfeiting makes the sensing method’s development urgent. The research aimed to detect and classify Luwak coffee green beans purity into the following purity categories, very low (0-25%), low (25-50%), medium (50-75%), and high (75-100%). The classifying method relied on a low-cost commercial visible light camera and the deep learning model method. Then, the research also compared the performance of four pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models consisting of SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet-50, and AlexNet. At the same time, the sensitivity analysis was performed by setting the CNN parameters such as optimization technique (SGDm, Adam, RMSProp) and the initial learning rate (0.00005 and 0.0001). The training and validation result obtained the GoogLeNet as the best CNN model with optimizer type Adam and learning rate 0.0001, which resulted in 89.65% accuracy. Furthermore, the testing process using confusion matrix from different sample data obtained the best CNN model using ResNet-50 with optimizer type RMSProp and learning rate 0.0001, providing an accuracy average of up to 85.00%. Later, the CNN model can be used to establish a real-time, non-destructive, rapid, and precise purity detection system.

Published: January 2022

Nowadays, person recognition has received significant attention due to broad applications in the security system. However, most person recognition systems are implemented based on unimodal biometrics such as face recognition or voice recognition. Biometric systems that adopted unimodal have limitations, mainly when the data contains outliers and corrupted datasets. Multimodal biometric systems grab researchers’ consideration due to their superiority, such as better security than the unimodal biometric system and outstanding recognition efficiency. Therefore, the multimodal biometric system based on face and fingerprint recognition is developed in this paper. First, the multimodal biometric person recognition system is developed based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) algorithm. Next, two features are fused by using match score level fusion based on Weighted Sum-Rule. The verification process is matched if the fusion score is greater than the pre-set threshold. The algorithm is extensively evaluated on UCI Machine Learning Repository Database datasets, including one real dataset with state-of-the-art approaches. The proposed method achieves a promising result in the person recognition system.

Published: January 2022

The performance status of a grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system is denoted by performance indices, namely performance ratio, capacity factor, and even through power acceptance ratio (AR), as documented in Malaysia Standard (MS) procedures for acceptance test of GCPV testing and commissioning (TNC). Even though AR analysis can be either on the DC or AC side, the MS TNC procedures implemented analysis on the AC side. Therefore, the question arises whether there is any significant difference when using AC AR analysis compared to DC AR analysis in evaluating the system performance. Thus, this paper evaluates the differences between applying DC AR analysis and AC AR analysis in accessing the performance of the ten kWp GCPV system in Malaysia. The AR analytical analysis employed the 2019 one-year historical data of solar irradiance, module temperature, DC power, and AC power. The results demonstrated that the monthly AC AR were consistently lower than DC AR with a percentage difference of approximately 3%. The percentage discrepancy was due to the variation of actual inverter efficiencies compared to the declared constant value by the manufacturer used in the AR prediction model. These findings have verified a significant difference between DC AR analysis and AC AR analysis. Most importantly, this study has highlighted the significance of AC AR analysis compared to DC AR analysis as a tool to evaluate GCPV system performance because AC AR has taken an additional factor into consideration, which is the inverter efficiency variation.

Published: January 2022

Supercapacitors have gained much attention in recent years due to their promising characteristics, such as high specific capacitance, high power density, long cycle life, and environment-friendly nature. Usage of natural sources for activated carbon synthesis is a major focus by many researchers worldwide for discovering a replacement of existing supercapacitors. This review summarizes the methods used to synthesize activated carbon (AC) from various natural fiber, their physical and electrochemical characteristics, and the improvement of supercapacitor electrode performance. Previous research studies indicate the practicability of activated carbon derived from various natural fibers with superior electrochemical properties. The effect of activating reagents and temperature on the electrochemical performance for supercapacitor applications are also highlighted in this paper. Since the nature of activated carbon from fibers and its synthesizing methods would result in different properties, the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) study is also thoroughly discussed on the specific capacitance together with charge/discharge test to observe the capacitance retention after several cycles. Finally, a detailed approach of converting biowaste materials to activated carbon for energy storage applications with environmental concerns is explored.

Finite Element Study on the Effect of Geometrical Parameters on the Mechanical Behavior of 3D Reentrant Auxetic Honeycombs.
Authors: Vanga Sai Adithya , Ayagara Aravind Rajan , Gooty Rohan , Hussain Taha , Srivastava Moulshree
Published: January 2022

Auxetic materials are a special case of cellular materials, which exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio. This in fact is the reason behind their peculiar behavior i.e. lateral shrinkage under longitudinal compression and vice versa. Since these materials do not obey the laws of “normal” materials and go beyond common sense, they are still an emerging class which can be put to use for various purposes like self-locking reinforcing fibers in composites, controlled release media, self-healing films, piezoelectric sensors, and also be used in biomedical engineering. Their stress-strain behavior, Poisson’s ratio and impact energy absorption are controlled by bulk material as well as the unit cell geometry. Among many forms of auxetic structures available, we have chosen a three-dimensional reentrant auxetic honeycomb unit cell. The unit cell geometrical parameters were taken from literature. In this study, we try to understand the effects of strut angle through finite element simulations while keeping the bulk material, unit cell size, strut thickness and number of repetitions constant. A total of three different angles were tested, based on which we conclude that as angle increases, the Poisson’s ratio increases and Energy absorption is maximum at 30 deg.
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE BOX WING UAV.
Authors: Vanga Sai Adithya , Srivastava Moulshree , Dwivedi Y. D.
Published: January 2022

In an attempt to reduce the induced drag on a wing, Prandtl found that induced drag reduced significantly by highly increasing the number of vertically offset wings. The same result could be obtained by joining the wingtips of two vertically offset wings. This helped increase payload capacity and also reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Such a wing configuration came to be known as Prandtl’s box wing. In this work, the design and analysis of a box wing aircraft model has been carried out. The preliminary analysis is performed using XFLR5, and the computational analysis is done with the help of ANSYS 18.2. The values of experiments are computed with the help of MATLab R2017. The box wing model has shown a nearly 53.74% reduction in drag as compared with conventional wing models. The computational results of drag have been compared and validated with the results of analytical and the experimental results from the wind tunnel and found to be within 10% of the computational result. Since the drag of the box wing is significantly lesser than the conventional wings the box wing is a feasible configuration which can be used to design various aircrafts including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Commercial Planes.

It was shown that the thermophysical and mechanical properties are responsibility for the higher strength and higher temperature applications for TPS.
Effect of Twin Vertical Stabilizers on Lateral Directional Static Stability of an Aircraft – A Computational Study
Authors: Goud K Ajay Kumar , Dwivedi Y D
Published: January 2022

The advantages of twin vertical Stabilizers over a single vertical Stabilizer of an aero plane are the rationale for this study. For conventional aero planes, the use of double vertical Stabilizers is being considered. The contribution to lateral stability has been examined for this application. XFLR5 software was used to conduct the overall analysis. The analysis was conducted for a single vertical Stabilizer as well as twin vertical Stabilizers, and the findings were compiled and correlated. It is critical to be able to fully explain and evaluate the stability and control parameters. It is crucial to understand the relationship between the aerodynamics of the airframe and its stability characteristics in order to increase flight endurance and deployment effectiveness. The stability analysis based on the dynamic model of the twin boom vertical Stabilizer is presented in this paper. The lateral-directional stability of an aero plane with a single vertical tail is determined to be 20% more efficient than that with twin boom vertical Stabilizers. The trim condition is moderately satisfied by an aircraft with twin vertical Stabilizers.

Published: January 2022

Ground effect plays a vital role in modulating the flow behavior over any streamlined body. The most widely used wing-in ground effect (WIG) aircrafts and seaplanes utilize this phenomenon in order to enhance the aerodynamic performance during the landing and take-off phases of flight. This paper investigates the aerodynamics of ground effect on a NACA 4412 rectangular wing without end plates. The experiment was conducted in a low-speed wind tunnel at Re=2×105 for the ground clearance of 1 and 0.5 of the chord, measured from the maximum thickness position on the airfoil. The pressure distribution over the chord length was recorded for α=3° and 6° to verify the effect of ground clearance during takeoffs. The results have shown to be in good accordance with the literature, as the coefficient of lift augmented with increase in ground proximity and the induced drag was minimized.
Aerodynamic effects of a folding wingtip to increase take-off, landing and cruise performance.
Authors: Singh S Rajat , Gajula Amala Raja Rajeswar , Maccha Praneetha
Published: January 2022

The main purpose of a folding wing tip is to allow aerodynamically efficient high aspect ratio wing. To allow a wing tip to move in flight is to alleviate the loads and achieve lower wing weight or enable wing span to maximize. Thus reduces the induced drag and improve fuel efficiency. The folding wing tip may include spring devices in order to provide an additional gust loads alleviation ability in flight. A wing without a winglet produces wingtip vortices which increases drag as the air from the bottom surface of the wing (high pressure) tries to move to the upper surface (low pressure). To avoid this and have less vortices a winglet is used, around which the flow is same on both surfaces. A folding wingtip can be set at an angle of 0° to have maximum cruise performance and aspect ratio. If the wingtip is set in the range of 15°-50° it can increase lift during take-off. This folding wingtip can access any airport in the world because if it is folded at an angle of 90°, it can meet the gate requirements and restrictions of any airport. To study the performance of this mechanism, the wing tip was designed by using CATIA V5 software. The analysis of the wingtip at different angle of attacks was done using ANSYS and XFLR 5 softwares.

Efficacy of Conventional Tree Stabilization Systems and their Effect on Short-Term Tree Development
Authors: Alvey Alexis , Wiseman P. Eric , Kane Brian
Published: January 2022

We evaluated three conventional tree stabilization systems (staking, guying, and root ball anchoring) on 6.4 cm (2.5 in) caliper field-grown, balled and burlapped white ash (Fraxinus americana L. ‘Autumn Purple’). At five weeks and at seven months after planting, performance of the stabilization systems was evaluated under ambient wind conditions as well as wind-simulating pull tests. Nonstabilized ash trees remained upright during both the 5-week and 7-month studies despite occasionally substantial wind gusts. From the pull tests, the study found the stabilization systems performed equally well and that even nonstabilized ash trees were tolerant of moderate to heavy wind loads. Stabilization systems differed in the maximum force they endured before component failure. The guying system withstood forces 1.7 to 2.5 times greater than the root ball anchoring and staking systems, respectively. Stabilization system components were very durable during the first growing season and did not substantially impact tree height growth, shoot elongation, root diameter, root length, or root mass seven months after planting. After one growing season, both nonstabilized and previously stabilized trees remained upright until unrealistically large loads were applied. Practical implications for landscape tree management are discussed.
Effects of Pruning on the Health of Palms
Authors: Rosenfeld Eric
Published: January 2022

This literature review gathers the findings of studies of the effects of pruning on palms in an attempt to answer questions about proper maintenance of ornamental specimens. Several species displayed reduction in size of new leaves after pruning. Pruning was found to worsen the health of palms deficient in mobile nutrients, but healthy palms showed only small changes in leaf nutrient composition. Two studies on oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) recorded higher incidence of weather-induced crown fracture, occurring among heavily-pruned specimens. Coconut fruit yield did not change in the first year of experimentation, but significant declines often occurred in subsequent years with continued treatment. Up to ten lowest leaves could be removed from a full-crowned coconut palm without negative effect on fruit yield. Research was lacking on the question of whether leaf pruning leads to reduction of stem diameter in palms. Research tailored more specifically to the concerns of arborists and landscapers working with palms as ornamentals is needed.
Implementation of Braun Multiplier with Efficient Pyramidal Adder Structure for Arithmetic Applications
Authors: Thokala Mohan Rao
Published: January 2022

Multiplier plays key role in Signal Processing and VLSI based environment applications, as it consumes more power and area compared other devices. In real time applications power and area are important parameters. Multiplier is essential component as it occupies large area and consumes more power compared to any other element .we have so many adders to design multiplier .In this paper Pyramidal adders are used which uses half-adder and full-adder to increase the speed and to reduce the number of gates used in the multiplier, but delay is not decreased significantly. If we modify the Pyramidal adder with XNOR’s and MUX instead of normal half-adder and full-adder, such pyramidal adder uses less gates and delay is reduced compared normal 16-bit adder. The use of XNOR’s and MUX in Pyramidal adder reduces delay, as the MUX function is only select the output among inputs. The use of such pyramidal adder in multiplier delay can be decreased greatly.

Authors: Esad Ergin Mahmut
Published: January 2022

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impacts of the variables on site selection decision of the spectators just before the main activity in order to engage in eating, having fun and performing other types of activities. A multinomial logit modelling framework is hired to model activity patterns within PSE circumstances. Activities were classified into three groups that are “Eating”, “Entertainment”, and “Other”. Model estimation on PSE survey data set from selected stadiums in Istanbul shows that due to the congestion, as travel time and activity duration increase the spectators inclined to be around the stadium 184 minutes in average before the starting time of the main activity. The results obtained from this study can be used as a micro input for the macro studies such as transportation master plans and urban plans and can offer complementary research areas for PSE traffic management and urban planning.
Designing in-car emotion-aware automation
Authors: Ceccacci Silvia
Published: January 2022

Driver behaviour recognition is of paramount importance for in-car automation assistance. It is widely recognized that not only attentional states, but also emotional ones have an impact on the safety of the driving behaviour. This research work proposes an emotion-aware in-car architecture where it is possible to adapt driver’s emotions to the vehicle dynamics, investigating the correlations between negative emotional states and driving performances, and suggesting a system to regulate the driver’s engagement through a unique user experience (e.g. using music, LED lighting) in the car cabin. The relationship between altered emotional states induced through auditory stimuli and vehicle dynamics is investigated in a driving simulator. The results confirm the need for both types of information to improve the robustness of the driver state recognition function and open up the possibility that auditory stimuli can modify driving performance somehow.
CLASSIFICAÇÃO FUNCIONAL DOS MACROINVERTEBRADOS BENTÔNICOS
Authors: Procópio Larissa Moraes
Published: January 2022

Introdução: Os macroinvertebrados bentônicos são animais que habitam o sedimento de ecossistemas aquáticos, em ambientes lênticos (reservatórios, lagos e lagoas) e lóticos (rios, riachos e córregos). Esse grupo é representado por diversos filos de invertebrados, cujo tamanho pode chegar até 0,5mm no final do seu estágio larval. Eles possuem uma grande importância ecológica pois atuam no fluxo do ciclo de compostos químicos e na mineralização de matéria orgânica. Além disso, também são considerados excelentes bioindicadores ambientais, devido sua diversidade, tamanho e abundância nos ambientes aquáticos. Objetivo: Apresentar os diferentes grupos funcionais de macroinvertebrados bentônicos e o tipo de alimento que cada grupo consome. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas plataformas Google Scholar e Scielo, em revistas científicas e periódicos com trabalhos dos últimos 20 anos, utilizando as palavras-chave: Macroinvertebrados Bentônicos; Grupos Funcionais e Ecologia Alimentar, um total de 10 artigos foram utilizados como base para esse resumo. Resultados: Os macroinvertebrados bentônicos são classificados de acordo com o seu hábito alimentar e tipo de alimento que consome. Os organismos que se alimentam de detritos e matéria orgânica particulada fina (MOPF) são considerados coletores, podendo se alimentar de partículas depositadas no sedimento (coletores-coletores) ou através de suspensão (coletores-filtradores). Os raspadores são aqueles que se alimentam do perifíton, eles possuem um aparelho bucal específico para raspar o perifíton que fica disposto sobre as rochas. Os invertebrados que se alimentam de matéria orgânica particulada grossa (MOPG) são chamados de fragmentadores. Eles tem preferência por matéria orgânica colonizada por microorganismos e atuam como aceleradores da mineralização da matéria orgânica, pois ao ingeri-la, sua biota é alterada pelos microorganismos presentes no aparelho digestivo do animal, que ao voltar para o meio ambiente, tem sua decomposição acelerada devido o aumento da taxa de superfície. Os organismos que se alimentam de tecido animal vivo são considerados predadores e aqueles que minam madeira são considerados minadores. Conclusão: Através dos artigos analisados, foi possível observar as características, diferenças e hábitos alimentares dos macroinvertebrados bentônicos, onde, a presença de determinados grupos de organismos varia de acordo com condições ambientais, climáticas, disponibilidade de alimento, sazonalidade e predação no local.

band - A Case study of Dehradun, India
Authors: Shankhwar Rajeev , Datta Rajlakshmi , Uniyal Navendra
Published: January 2022

Dehradun city is the capital of Uttarakhand state of India. Evidence from the past research and literature [e.g. CDP 2007, Singh et al 2013, Gupta et al 2014] shows that in the late 80s, Dehradun city was much greener compared to the present condition. In the current study, we tried to identify the correlation between land surface temperature (LST) with Forest cover density classes (FCDC) and built-up area with open land. The current study reveals that there is a relationship between FCDC and LST in the study area. The range of LST recorded is between 32.07 to 43.99 °C. Among all the classes, minimum LST record in VDF class is 32.07°C and maximum LST record in built-up area 43.99°C. The present study shows the importance of vegetation cover in urban areas to reduce LST, air temperature and maintain the urban microclimate as well as to help reduce air pollution.

Published: January 2022

Morphometric characters and meristic count of a fish, Tor tor (Hamilton Buchanan) have been studied from river Ujh, a tributary of river Ravi in District Kathua, (J&K). Collection of samples on monthly basis was conducted for the study of morphological characters of Tor tor. Present study shows some deviations with respect to few morphometric characters and meristic counts that have been aptly discussed in the following
discussion. The positive correlation has been observed between total length and external body parts. The highly strong correlated body parameter in relation to total length is standard length (r = 0.98) and least correlated with eye diameter (r = 0.32) and the highly correlated external body part in relation to standard length is caudal
length (r = 0.96) and least correlated part is eye diameter (r = 0.35) and also strong correlation was observed between head length and maximum body depth (r = 0.93) and least correlation between head length and eye diameter (r = 0.23). The correlation analysis shows that all the morphometric characters change proportionally
with increase in the total length. These results act as baseline data on morphometry of Tor tor which helps in easy identification and will be beneficial for the development of conservational strategies of the natural stocks of Tor tor in river Ujh, Kathua (J&K).

Being an important oilseed crop, flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) grows mostly in temperate climates. The present study involved the seeds and seedlings of the flaxseed plant for analysis. The current experiment was carried out to determine the effect on seed germination, seedling growth and the antioxidant profiling of the plant when treated with heavy metal exposures. The heavy metals selected for the study were Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), and Copper (Cu). The inhibition caused by these metals varied from day to day as the experimental setup was upto 60 days and the observations started from the 15th day. The plant indicated inhibition on seed germination highest with Cu stress. The highest effect of heavy metal on reduced growth of shoot and root was exhibited by Pb and Cu stress. Also, when the antioxidant profiling was done, Zn had the most toxic effect on phytochemicals. The conclusions divulged that the metal toxicity was as follows: Pb > Cu >Zn.

British Colonial System and The Forests of Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas:
Consequences of colonial interventions in Himalayan Society
Authors: Bisht Surendra Singh
Published: January 2022

In this paper endeavour has been made to address historical context of colonial influence on the forests of Uttarakhand Himalayas. The conflict of interest between local population, the government and the commercial forces over a period of more than 120 years of colonial regime are considered. Consequences of the scientific forest management on the forest and forest based rural economy of local folk is an important aspect of the study. It also shows that how in the name of scientific forest management, bulk of local population was alienated from their traditional forest rights, use and management of forests and, how most of the benefits of forest accrued to the government and richest classes of society. A major aspect of the study is how and in what stages a forest region was opened out and exploited for the larger colonial economic interests, what effects it had on Uttarakhand Himalayas region itself and its agriculture in the colonial period.

Current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in huge global mortality with daily increment of cases. Though at present different vaccines are available but complete vaccination at the country level needs subsequent time interval. In present condition of stress and fear, bioactive compounds from different medicinal plants are screened using computational approaches to be used as a potential drug candidate. These in silico approaches have found few phyto-compounds that can be used against therapeutic protein targets of SARS-CoV-2. These natural compounds might have fewer side effects compared to chemotherapeutic agents that are re purposed in this pandemic situation. Though convincing results are obtained from in silico approaches but it warrants further studies to be marketed as a recommended drug. Foreseeing the current pandemic and positive computational results on natural products, these can be considered for enhancing immunity and prevention. Decoction of therapeutically beneficial medicinal plants like neem (Azadirachta indica) and giloy (Tinospora
cordiofolia) can be recommended due to easy availability, cost effective nature and easy implementation at community level. These natural products possess anti- inflammatory, antipyretic, fungicidal and antiseptic properties which can prevent from COVID infection and post-COVID complications, including attack from opportunistic pathogens.
Free Convection Heat Transfer in a Micropolar Fluid Confined Between a Long Vertical
Wavy Wall and a Parallel Flat Wall
Authors: Goyal Seema
Published: January 2022

The free convection heat transfer in a micropolar fluid confined between a long vertical wavy wall and a parallel flat wall has been studied. Analysis of fluid flow over a wavy wall is of interest because of its physical applications such as transpiration cooling of re-entry vehicles, rocket booster and film vaporization, in combustion chambers etc. The equations governing the flow and the heat transfer have been solved subject to the relevant
boundary conditions by assuming that the solution consists of two parts viz. a mean part and a perturbed one. To obtain the perturbed part of the solution, use has been made of the long Wavy approximation. The sets of differential equations have been solved by Finite Element Method. The zeroth order, the first order and total solution of the problem have been evaluated numerically for several sets of values of the various parameters entering the problem and are depicted graphically.

Community Work Approach in Addressing Social Problems:
Three Community Case Studies from Sri Lanka
Authors: Somananda Omalpe
Published: January 2022

Human development is at the center of social work to intervene in diverse problems affecting humanity. Community work is a direct method of community development that attempts to serve many people at a macro level. A community case study documents a local experience about delivering services to meet an identified need. This paper aims to illustrate three examples of community case studies that were developed while working with three diverse communities in Sri Lanka. The first community case study describes efforts to efforts to promote social harmony through child engagement in a rural community with ethnoreligious diversity in the Polonnaruwa District. The second community case study documents prioritizing several problems faced by an urban, underserved community located close to the Kolonnawa Garbage dump in the Colombo District. The third case study is on women's engagement in community development and harmony in a peri-urban community in the Gampaha District. The paper provides evidence for the effectiveness of community work in addressing diverse social issues in communities.
