Published: July 2022

Kandidaten für die vom 4. bis 15. März 2005 durchgeführte Vergleichsmessung waren vorwiegend Firmen, Institutionen oder Privatpersonen, welche die Anerkennung des Bundesamtes für Gesundheit (BAG) als Radonmessstelle besitzen und deshalb nachweisen müssen, dass die Qualität der Messresultate gewährleistet ist. Dem Aufruf des BAG zur Teilnahme folgten neben 11 anerkannten zwei weitere Messstellen. Vier verschiedene Detektor- oder Messgerätearten waren vertreten. Neben Kernspurdetektoren wurden bei den passiven Systemen Elektret-Ionisationskammern eingesetzt, bei den Messgeräten wurden Ionisationskammern und nach dem Prinzip der elektrostatischen Abscheidung arbeitende Geräte geprüft. Die Detektoren wurden einer Exposition von 914 kBqhm-3 bei einer durchschnittlichen Radonaktivitätskonzentration von 3467 Bqm-3 ausgesetzt. Diese Exposition liegt über der oberen Messgrenze der von einer Messstelle eingesetzten LST-Elektret-Ionisationskammern. Daher wurden diese Detektoren vorzeitig aus der Prüfkammer entnommen. Sie erhielten eine Exposition von 416 kBqhm-3 bei einer durchschnittlichen Radonaktivitätskonzentration von 3472 Bqm-3. Zudem wurden sechs Elektret-Ionisationskammern einer anerkannten Messstelle im Rahmen eines Blindtests durch das BAG beschafft. Von diesen Detektoren wurden zwei über die gesamte Zeit exponiert, drei wurden zusammen mit den LST-Elektret-Ionisationskammern entnommen und ein weiterer wurde als Transportdetektor eingesetzt. Die Resultate dieser Detektoren wichen stärker vom Sollwert ab und zeigten auch eine höhere Streuung als die von der gleichen Messstelle für die Vergleichsmessung bereitgestellten Detektoren.

Simulation of Anti Reflecting Coating for Improving External Quantum Efficiency of Photovoltaic Cell
Authors: Prakash Jai , Meena Kalpana
Published: July 2022

Due to a dramatic drop in solar module prices/watt peaks, photovoltaic (PV) electricity has become more concentrated over the last decade. Crystallized silicon (c-Si) solar cells have dominated the solar market since their creation, outperforming all other photovoltaic technologies. PV modules are frequently required to work in inclement weather. Outdoor photovoltaic performance is affected by a number of factors, including 1) solar radiation, 2) the shape of the absorbed solar spectrum, 3) ambient temperature, 4) location, 5) wind speed, and 6) aerosols. These parameters, on the other hand, are out of our hands. It does not prevent solar panels from becoming heated on hot days, which has a negative impact on their electrical performance and longevity. To protect the solar cell from various external variables, multiple layers are applied to solar cell modules, including EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), polyvinyl fluoride sheet (Tedlar), front solar glass, metal frame, and side water seal. One of the main causes of the absorber layer temperature in solar modules rising is this. For single-layer and multi-layer ARC designs, a range of materials are used in the ARC of solar modules. Instead of functioning as a radiative cooler, the ARC can be changed or simple tweaks can be made to improve absorption and lower the temperature of the solar module. Based on light and radiation properties, choose materials for SR-ARC design of solar cells and modules. The chosen material must have very low absorption between 300 and 1200 nm and emit between 8 and 13 m. The annual power generation of a 1kW system in India's complicated environment is determined with the aforesaid efficiency increases and temperature reductions. From a single layer c-Si solar module system, the double layer module of the 1kW system generates 54kWh. Furthermore, the cooling effect was calculated, with the failed component losing 80% of its initial efficiency by the end of 2014, but the two- and three-layer components reached this level by the end of 36. The dual layer SR-ARC coated module system will start producing single layer modules at the end of 26 or 36, with or without replacement.

Calcium's Role in Child Growth and Development and It's Complications
Authors: Animesh Katiyar
Published: July 2022

Calcium (Ca) is an important mineral used to build and maintain the skeletal system. Calcium is the body's most vital mineral. Bone and teeth contain calcium, phosphorus, and the rest of the body's calcium. This mineral aids in the creation of bones and teeth, blood coagulation and muscle contraction as well as nerve transmission and cell metabolism.

Calcium deficiency in children causes physical and mental growth problems, as well as the development of Rashitisme, a kind of osteoporosis. This disorder is characterised by deformed bones, big joints, and mobility issues. Calcium shortage in adults produces osteomalacia, which causes hollow and brittle bones due to a reduction in calcium density in the bones.

Vitamin D deficiency causes bone mineralization difficulties and severe muscle cramping. Calcium is required for bone and tooth development, blood coagulation, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and cell metabolism, say the researchers.

This study concluded that calcium causes bone strength. Children's meals should include enough calcium to prevent osteoporosis in adults. A new scientific barrier has been published, as well as the importance of calcium's function in the body and the repercussions of its deficiency on children's growth and development.

Effects include not just endocrine disruption measurements and changes, but also impairments that might lead to illness or increase the risk of developing a disease, immunological suppression, teratogenicity, and non-toxic consequences. Organisms will endeavour to stay healthy by resolving and comprehending situations such as invading cell replication or pathogens. However, rapid changes in health and immunocompetence care, which may influence people's endurance and viability, may be stressful. We investigate the impacts of susceptibility on immunocompetence in the context of defining a system's pricing, as well as a changing environment and survival. We deal with the numbers that may be affected by the change in animal health and identify any parameter shortages that may occur.

Critical Review on Pathya Apathya with Special Reference to Rasaaushadhis’’
Authors: Yaranal R
Published: July 2022

Ayurveda has holistic and scientific approach in health management. So it equally emphasises over Aushadhi and Pathya-Apathya to overcome the disease with a better approach. Pathya literally means a way or channel, defined as the substance or regime which does not adversely affect the body and mind, and those which adversely affect them are considered to be apathya. ‘Rasasastra’ is the branch of Ayurveda which describes the use of metals, minerals, and poisons with their actions to combat chronic and complicated diseases. As these Rasa drugs are toxic, therefore passes through extensive processing before they are declared fit for internal use. These preparations are sustaining themselves since centuries in clinical use. Even though these drugs are in assimilable forms, there should be suitable vehicles for its absorption. Specific Pathyapathya ahara viharas are mentioned for specific rasaushadhis in the Rasa classic. These specificity for selection of Aharas and Viharas as Pathya (wholesome) or Apathya (unwholesome) mainly depends on the properties of drugs which are used as Pathya and also the drug which are used as medicine. Drugs can show their efficacy only if administered in appropriate quantity with appropriate combination of drugs and foods and at appropriate time and by following proper regime as they help for proper absorption of drug, reduces its adverse effects, and to increase its bioavailability etc. So there is importance of Pathya and apathya during drug administration. The present work aims to collect information on pathya apathy mention during administration of various rasa dravyas and Rasaushadhis from classical texts.
“Critical review on Adhimantha and its Ayurvedic Management.’’
Authors: A.G. Bhaladhare , Pillewan L  , Goje S.P.
Published: July 2022

Adhimantha is sarvagata netraroga explained in Ayurvedic texts in which there is an excessive churning type of pain in the eye and it afflicts all the parts of the eye hence called Sarvagata Netraroga. Halfsided headache (Shiraso-ardham vedana), excessive hot lachrymations, cloudy vision, and redness of the eye are associated symptoms of Adhimantha. It can be correlated to Glaucoma in modern science which is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure. Glaucoma can cause permanent blindness within a few years. According to Sushrutacharya, Adhimantha is sadhya when diagnosed and treated early but if the patient does not take proper treatment and continues Hetu seven, then there is loss of vision occurs. Abhishyanda (Conjunctivitis) is the main cause of Adhimantha. When Abhishyanda is not treated, then it gets complicated into Adhimantha, Hence the same course of treatment in Abhishyanda is given for Adhimantha which includes Tarpana, Putapaka, Aschotana, Bidalaka, lepa, Nasya, Shirobasti and Raktamokshan.
“A review on conceptual insight of Myopia and its management in Ayurveda’’
Authors: Ailani R .S.
Published: July 2022

The prevalence of myopia, which ranges from 6.9 percent to 19.7 percent, is currently considered a serious public health concern for eyes with significant psychological, familial, educational, and economic consequences. The elements that have an impact on the overall growth process, including as stress, debilitating illnesses, endocrine abnormalities, and dietary deficiencies, will also have an impact on the progression of myopia. Timira and Myopia share a lot in common, as does the original Patala. Myopia is a widespread visual condition in which nearby items are clear to you but distant objects are hazy. If adequate care is not performed, it interferes with a person's daily activities. High myopia is frequently linked to potentially blinding disorders like retinal detachment or macular degeneration, but simple myopia may be treated with glasses or contact lenses. Some Ayurvedic writers claim that Simple Myopia and "Drushtigat Vyadhi," as described in Ayurvedic Samhitas, are connected. In the ayurvedic classics, the idea of Chakshushya and several therapeutic techniques are described. These are supposed to increase or improve visual acuity and eye health.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to analyze how Islamic law reviews and community responses to the dynamics of marriage during the pandemic in Gorontalo. This type of research is field research, while the approach used is a sociological and juridical approach. While the data collection methods are: 1) Observation, 2) Inteview, 3) Documentation, and data analysis techniques include: 1) Data reduction, 2) Display, 3) Conclusion drawing, and 4) verification. The results of this study indicate that marriages during the pandemic in Gorontalo by the MUI or local religious authority institutions are essentially allowed by looking at the conditions and regional zones accompanied by government permits and recommendations from health authorities, for some people it is also allowed to be able to carry out online as an alternative, even without the need to use a walimah/reception or through traditional Gorontalo rituals, in other words, it is even sufficient to fulfill the pillars and conditions of marriage. This is in contrast to other members of the community who argue that marriages carried out without going through customs are considered unaffordable and even tend to be predicted to bring bad luck according to local perceptions and beliefs, and it is better to postpone them in advance during the rampant epidemic, because even though they have applied strict health protocol rules. Judging from the typology and characteristics of the Gorontalo community, which are difficult to obey and adhere to certain rules, the prediction that there will be crowds must be there, therefore as a suggestion, it is better to postpone the marriage first considering the escalation of the addition of positive COVID-19 patients which is increasingly booming. in the past few years, from 2020 to late 2021.

Rethinking the Relationship between the Growth of the Secondary Education System and Employment: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: Balkar Betül
Published: July 2022

The contribution of the secondary education system to employment is among the priority areas of educational policy since it has employment-related aims for students who do not/cannot continue on to higher education. In Turkey, the secondary education system has increasingly grown with students and schools included in the system. Consequently, secondary school graduates have increasingly demanded access to employment opportunities. Therefore, this paper investigates the relations between the growth based on the number of students and schools in the secondary education system and the employment of secondary school graduates in Turkey. Long- and short-run relationships between the growth in the secondary education system and employed secondary school graduates were investigated by employing Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds Testing approach. Although analysis pointed out a cointegration between the growth in the secondary education and employment, long-run coefficients of variables were found to be insignificant.

A new generation (Generation Z) of learners has entered universities/colleges. They were raised in an environment full of technology and high access to the online world which well affected their preferences for receiving information. It is indispensable to know their preferred learning style, which could aid in enhanced content delivery. The main aim of this study was to infer the Gen Z undergraduates’ learning preferences. In this cross-sectional study, convenience sampling was applied. The VARK questionnaire link was forwarded through the student WhatsApp groups. Descriptive and group comparisons were inferred using the chi-square test with p <  0.05 as level of significance. Three hundred Gen Z undergraduates from University of Cyberjaya participated in this study. There is a statistically significant higher preference for multimodal learning (75.7%) with higher preference among male Gen Z undergraduates. There is a statistically significant difference in the preference for various learning styles among the undergraduates who preferred unimodal learning style. Gen Z undergraduates at the University of Cyberjaya preferred the multimodal form of learning while the kinaesthetic mode of learning was highly preferred by both unimodal and multimodal learners.

This study explores the level of mathematics teachers' technology integration self-efficacy and the extent to which some background variables influence this self-efficacy. The study adopted a survey design and collected data from 125 mathematics teachers in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Data analysis was done using a t-test, effect size, and one-way between-groups ANOVA. Teachers were found to have a moderate level of self-efficacy. Furthermore, findings suggest that gender and teacher training in technology integration both in college training and as part of professional development are important in influencing teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching with technology. The study recommends technology integration and gender to be mainstreamed in teacher education in order to develop self-efficacy in technology use.

Authors: Kalinkara Yusuf , Talan Tarik
Published: July 2022

Various theories and models are used to understand the impact of technology in education. One of these models is the UTAUT-2 model. This model allows us to understand the acceptance and use of technology. In this study, students' intentions and behaviours related to using the UBYS system, which is used as a learning management system, were examined within the framework of the UTAUT-2 model. The structural equation model was also used in the study. Smart PLS 3.3.5 and IBM SPSS Statistics v20.0 programmes were used for all data analyses. The study was conducted with 208 university students in 2021-2022. The result of structural equation modeling is that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation are among the variables that influence the use and acceptance of UBYS. The components of the model explain 75% of behavioural intentions. With the knowledge gained in this study, it may be possible to increase the usefulness of the UBYS system used. At the same time, the results of this study should make an important contribution to the literature on the UTAUT-2 model.

The relevance of the researched problem is due to the need for monitoring online teaching during the coronavirus pandemic and improving teachers' skills in the process of online teaching and communication with students. The purpose of the research was to find whether there were statistically significant differences in students' positive attitudes towards online teaching conducted in three different study programmes and the communication between students and professors during the coronavirus pandemic. The following methods were used in the research: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalisation), diagnostic (Likert scale), statistics and graphical presentation of the results. Our research also shows that students have positive attitudes towards online teaching and communication with teachers. A contribution to such students' attitudes was probably given by the university teachers' existing online teaching skills as well as students' digital skills and competencies owed to the use of social networks. The research aimed to draw attention to the factors that are important for the implementation of quality online teaching in faculties at the time of the pandemic. It emphasised the importance of researching students' perception of the quality of online teaching and various aspects of communication with teachers at a time when they were unable to communicate live. Therefore, the research results can stimulate similar research in higher education to identify those factors that could contribute to the satisfaction of students and teachers with this type of teaching.

Authors: Sula Gerda , Sulstarova Anila
Published: July 2022

The present study reports on research conducted on novice teachers’ use of wikis with their high school students. These teachers had been previously exposed to wikis as a collaborative learning tool during their teaching preparation programme. The aim was to explore whether their experience with wiki usage helped them in their teaching. Participants included fifteen novice teachers in their first year of teaching foreign languages in Albania, who held their teaching partly online during the school year 2020-2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collected through in-depth interviews include their own reflections. These reflections indicate that the use of a wiki at the university level helped them feel at ease in using wikis in their online teaching. The study proved the use of wikis to be a feasible means of online collaboration, which facilitated constructing new knowledge for their students. As a result, wikis provide a collaborative medium of technology integration into their teaching.
Process Improvement Approach to Transform Online Business Education in the Post-COVID World
Authors: Singh Sonia
Published: July 2022

In early 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global emergency. This pandemic has affected higher education, especially the world of business education and professional programmes, beyond imagination. This study/project examines an innovative teaching and learning approach, Lean methodology, and its application to business education. Although Lean Thinking originated in the automobile industry several years ago, research on its application and sustainability at academic institutions, especially in the teaching and learning process, has been extremely limited. Recent research demonstrates that this approach has been successfully implemented in healthcare and health sciences education. This project takes a step forward and identifies how a similar approach can be applied to business education in post-pandemic education. The project concludes with practical tips that higher education institutions can use as planning for post-pandemic begins.
Estimation of rainfall erosivity (R) using Geo-spatial technique for the state of Tripura, India: A comparative study

Published: July 2022

The principal-agent of soil detachment is rainfall kinetic energy (KE), which must be assessed to understandthe nature of erosion, particularly in high rainfall regions, and is designated as a rainfall erosivity index (R). Thepresent study aimed to develop and choose an appropriate model for estimating the R factor in the Indian state ofTripura. The study employed the following three models: KE>25 index model, average annual rainfall model, andmonthly and average annual rainfall model. The rainfall data were collected from MOSDAC and https://www.worldweatheronline.com for the calculation of point R-value. The interpolation technique (Kriging) in the ArcGISenvironment was adopted to find the spatial variation of the rainfall and R factor over the region. The average annual R factor of the study area was 1089.89, 533.17, and 2452.27 MJ mm/ha/h/y as calculated by Model-1, Model-2,and Model-3, respectively, for the study period (2008–17). The results show that Tripura has high rainfall erosivitywhich may lead to soil erosion. The comparative analysis shows Model-2 has underestimated approximately 70%whereas Model-3 has overestimated about 15% of the R factor values by considering Model-1 as base. The resultsdemonstrate that Model-2 can be used as an alternative for estimation of rainfall erosivity in an area where the dailyrainfall data is not available. These findings may help researchers to select a suitable method for the calculation ofrainfall erosivity factor in mountainous catchments.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important staple food crop and is grown across different regions and moisture regimesacross Asian countries. The present study was carried out during rainy (kharif) season 2017–19 for introgressinggenes, raising F1 plants, evaluation of F2 plants and marker distortion studies at Marker Assisted Selection Laboratory, University of Agricultural sciences, Bangalore. True F1 plants were confirmed using polymorphic SSR marker RM242 and selfed to develop F2 plants. Marker assisted identification using 11 trait specific SSR markers linked to higher contributing alleles for drought, blast and bacterial leaf blight (BLB) resistance in F2 population was derived from a japonica variety Moroberekan and indica variety IR 64. F2 population exhibited highly significant segregation distortions for four (36.4%) out of 11 SSR markers. Out of four distorted markers, RM242 and RM235 were towards IR64 (male parent) and RM11943 and RM243 distorted towards heterozygote and Moroberekan (female parent), respectively. The allele frequency and distribution of genotype frequencies in the F2 population were analyzed for SSR markers, to find out factors that attributed to segregation distortion. Three markers (RM11943, RM243 and RM235) showed distorted allele frequency, with normal genotype frequency and one showed distorted genotype frequency with normal allele frequency, which indicates that these markers were influenced at gametic and zygotic level, respectively.

The present study was carried out to determine the genetic diversity and association among 36 Basmati rice (Oryzasativa L.) genotypes based on morphological and quality traits. Different genotypes were evaluated in randomizedblock design (RBD) at Rice Research Station, Kaul (India) during rainy (kharif) season 2016 and 2017. Principlecomponent analysis indicated that first five principle components (PC) accounted for more than 80% (PC1=35.33%,PC2=19.84%, PC3= 11.30, PC4=8.08 and PC5=6.81%) of the total variation. Principle component 1 was loaded withnumber of tiller per plant, panicle length, panicle weight, number of spikelets per panicle, thousand grain weight,grain yield per plant and harvest index while plant height, biological yield per plant, hulling per cent, milling percent, head rice recovery per cent, alkali spreading value and amylose content were present in principle component 2. Cluster analysis divided the genotypes into five clusters and genotypes with earliness and yielding traits were present in cluster 1. A high positive and significant correlation of grain yield per plant was seen with number of tillers per plant, panicle length, panicle weight, number of spikelets per panicle, biological yield per plant, harvest index, alkali spreading value and amylose content. This study would be helpful in identifying the diverse and donor parents for important traits which can be used for genetic improvement programs of Basmati rice.
