LEVELS OF SOCIO- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN HINDOLI TEHSIL OF RAJASTHAN
Authors: Dr. Sandeep Yadav and Dr. Ashutosh Birla
Published: April 2024

Any state's social growth is characterized by the improvement of resource and human connections. The socioeconomic level of the state is determined by factors like regional development, education, health, access to clean water, transportation and communication, electricity, etc. As a result, social facilities serve as the benchmark for measuring and assessing regional growth. Studying the state of social infrastructure in a developing nation like India becomes vital to assess the rising prosperity and welfare work in that region or region. In terms of social work, Hindoli tehsil ranks behind other tehsils of Rajasthan. The extension of social services has been extremely slow in comparison to the rate of agricultural growth and employment opportunities in this area. Different areas of the tehsil have had varying rates of economic development in accordance with their geographical characteristics. The development of social infrastructures like educational institutions, health services, all weather roads, electrification, drinking water facilities, communication services, etc. is as a result conspicuously uneven. The research report under assessment makes recommendations for the correct, expansion of social facilities in the tehsil.

Objective: Previous research reported that dietary addition with phytosterols improved the energy utilisation of the rumen microbiome, suggesting its potential to alleviate the negative energy balance of perinatal cows. This experiment aimed to explore the effects of feeding phytosterols on the metabolic status of perinatal cows through plasma metabolomics and faecal bacteria metabolism.Methods: Ten perinatal Holstein cows (multiparous, 2 parities) with a similar calving date were selected four weeks before calving. After 7 days for adaptation, cows were allocated to two groups (n = 5), which respectively received the basal rations supplementing commercial phytosterols at 0 and 200 mg/d during a 42-day experiment. The milk yield of each cow was recorded daily after calving. On days 1 and 42, blood and faeces samples were all collected from perinatal cows before morning feeding for analysing plasma biochemicals and metabolome, and faecal bacteria metabolism.Results: Dietary addition with phytosterols at 200 mg/d had no effects on plasma cholesterol and numerically increased milk yield by 1.82 kg/d (p>0.10) but attenuated their negative energy balance in perinatal cows as observed from the significantly decreased plasma level of β-hydroxybutyric acid (p = 0.002). Dietary addition with phytosterols significantly altered 12 and 15 metabolites (p<0.05) within the plasma and faeces of perinatal cows, respectively. Of these metabolites, 5 upregulated plasma fatty acids indicated an improved energy status (i.e., C18:1T, C14:0, C17:0, C18:0, and C16:0). Milk yield negatively correlated with plasma concentrations of ketone bodies (p = 0.035) and 5-methoxytryptamine (p = 0.039). Furthermore, dietary addition with phytosterols at 200 mg/d had no effects on fermentation characteristics and bacterial diversity of cow faeces (p>0.10) but improved potentially beneficial bacteria such as Christensenellaceae family (p<0.05) that positively correlated with feed efficiency.Conclusion: Dietary addition with phytosterols at 200 mg/d could effectively improve the energy status in perinatal cows by attenuating their negative energy balance.

Thyroid Imaging Tests
Authors: Zaromytidou Evangelia , Notopoulos Athanasios
Published: April 2024

Thyroid imaging tests provide more information about the thyroid gland’s size, shape, and function. After the thyroid blood tests which are the gold standard for the assessment of conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, imaging tests are recommended to establish a diagnosis. Although the diagnosis of hypothyroidism in itself is not an indication of thyroid imaging, thyroid radionuclide scanning may be useful in elucidating several pathophysiological aspects of hyperthyroidism and in determining the cause of abnormal thyroid function. This may be especially crucial in deciding whether a person will take thyroxine replacement therapy. However, it is important to recognize whether the cause of hypothyroidism is transient or drug-induced because this may require no treatment or only short-term thyroxine supplementation.

This is a retrospective study that has had the objective to establish if there are any risk factors for developing Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) in a type 2 diabetes (T2DM) population and also to determine if the prevalence of HT is higher in the population of T2DM, comparing with the European population. In the beginning, 5064 patients were evaluated and after that three groups were analysed, one of patients having only type 2 diabetes, one having only Hashimoto thyroiditis and one in which the patients had both of this diseases; each group had 50 patients in it. All patients were analysed using the same clinical and biological parameters. Results showed an increased prevalence of Hashimoto thyroiditis among the type 2 diabetes population, three times higher than in the European population (789.89/105 per year versus 259.12/105 per year). The second part of the study established that female gender, insulin resistance, overweight, high value of glycaemia, hepatic steatosis, cardiac ischemic disease, hypothyroidism, smoking and alcohol intake are risk factors for the onset of HT in T2DM population.
Optimizing TSH testing: minimizing overdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions
Authors: Lorena Palacios-Bayona Karen
Published: April 2024

In this chapter, the routine application of thyroid function tests for hypothyroidism detection is evaluated, with a focus on the problems of overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment, especially in subclinical scenarios. It critically assesses the lack of solid evidence behind common interventions, like the widespread prescription of levothyroxine without definitive clinical need. Highlighting evidence-based guidelines for hypothyroidism screening, the chapter argues against indiscriminate thyroid testing. It advocates for a thoughtful approach to thyroid disorder management, urging cautious use of TSH tests to reduce needless medical actions and improve patient outcomes.

Published: April 2024

Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) is one of the most commonly used Pb-free solder composition nowadays. A minor alloying element addition can improve mechanical properties and thermal reliability of the solder joint. Minor amount of Bithmuth (Bi) or Nickel (Ni) addition can improve mechanical properties of solder by solid solution strengthening, or ensure the structural stability of the intermetalllic compounds. Also, low melting temperature solder with Bithmuth can reduce the cost of soldering process and keep components from deterioration. In this study, reliability of heterogeneous and homogeneous solder joint in the ball-grid-array (BGA) package solder joint were investigated. Using Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solder paste and two kinds of solder balls, we have investigated which combination of solder joint improves the thermo-mechanical reliability. SAC305 and SCN (Sn-0.75Cu-Ni,Bi) balls were used for homogeneous and hetrogeneous joints. Solder balls were attached in BGA package. To examine the solder joint reliability, thermal cycling test was conducted after reflow soldering. Shear strength measurement and cross-sectional analysis of the BGA package solder joints were carried out before and after 2000 cycles of the test. The shear strength of homogeneous solder joint decreased to 68.2% and heterogeneous decreased to 43.5%. The cross-sectional analysis using scanning electorn microscopy (SEM) and electorn back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) showed the (Ni,Cu)6Sn5 and Cu6Sn5 IMCs which were generated in the solder joint, and the crack propagated longer in the homogeneous solder joint of SAC305 after the thermal cycling test. IPFM showed the grain refinement effect of the SCN solder joint after thermal cycling. The minor addition of Bi had played a role as dislocation pinning site and became to equiaxied grain, so that the lifetime of heterogeneous SCN solder joint was superior than that of the SAC305.

The survey implemented in the 2021 winter season on the Tieu hong banana cultivar (Musa acuminata) grown in Phu Tho and Hung Yen provinces showed that the most severe diseases were fruit rot and fruit spot with infection rates of 79.1% and 75.5%, respectively. Peel cracking and end rot (cigar rot) were also recorded at less than 5.0%. Fruit spot was the main disease that affected the South-American banana cultivar (Musa paradisiaca) during the 2022 spring-summer season in Gia Lai province. Of the 24 fungal and 37 bacterial strains isolated from the disease samples collected during the investigation and tested for their pathogenicity via artificial infection on healthy bananas, only 17 fungal strains showed the ability of lesion formation of which 4 strains caused typical symptoms of the fruit rot disease. There was not a single bacterial strain ascertained as phytopathogen indicating that fungi were the primary agents of post-harvest diseases on bananas. These four fungal strains were taxonomically characterized based on their morphology (colony and spore), comparative analysis of the ITS sequences of the 18S rDNA gene, and were then identified as Corynespora torulosa B2B, Microdochium colombiense B6, Fusarium circinatum B13F, and Aspergillus niger GL2.1. The ITS sequences of these strains were deposited to GenBank under the accession numbers OP855524, OP855525, OP855526, and OP855527, respectively.

Objectives: To analyze the situation of some typical diseases (hypertension, diabetes, stomach, joints, ear-nose-throat, nervous system, and pancreas, thyroid and adrenal glands) related to dioxin exposure in the two study areas in Bien Hoa-Dong Nai, Thanh Khe-Da Nang, and compared with the control area in Son Tra-Da Nang. Methods: Case-control study. Results: The number of surveyed subjects representing households in two study groups: 437 and 402, and in control group: 400. Study subjects aged 45-69 accounted for a high proportion (68.8 - 79.6%), female is the majority (67.5 - 70.2%), the long-term residence is mainly over 15 years (89.3 - 90.8%). Five diseases (hypertension, diabetes, stomach, joints, ear-nose-throat) in Bien Hoa and Thanh Khe study groups accounted for a higher rate and statistical significance difference compared to the control group Son Tra at the ages of 18 – 44 and 45 - 69 years old, and also in both sexes, but no difference in disease structure was found between the two study groups. In all three groups, men had higher rates of hypertension than women, and women had stomach and neurological diseases at higher rates than men. In general, the disease structure has depended on three factors: Agent orange/dioxin exposure, age and gender, in which: Agent orange/dioxin exposure factor is essential and has made a most clear difference in the disease structure. Conclusion: The exposure factor due to direct and indirect exposure with Agent Orange/dioxin may be one of the causes that increase the prevalence of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, joints, nervous system, and pancreas, thyroid and adrenal glands in the Bien Hoa and Thanh Khe study groups in comparison with the Son Tra control group.

In the context of family law, the nasab of children outside of marriage has grown to be a complicated legal and social issue in many nations, including Indonesia. With a particular emphasis on the ruling of the Pengadilan Agama Talu Number 173/Pdt.P/2021/PA.Talu, this article examines the question of the nasab of children born outside of marriage within the context of a Religious Court ruling. In order to determine the nasab of children born outside of marriage, this article employs both national legal requirements and the principles of Islamic law. We also examine the Talu Religious Court's ruling, which is the major point of interest. The analysis covers the legal factors, justifications, and ratio decidendi that the Religious Court used to reach its decision. It is critical to comprehend how the Religious Court developed legal principles, interpreted legal authorities, and considered the decision's social ramifications. The piece also looks at how the Talu Religious Court's ruling may affect family courts and society at large. The paper concludes by summarizing the consequences of the Talu Religious Court's ruling regarding the determination of the nasab of unmarried children and illustrating how legal perspectives have evolved in this area. This article may offer legal professionals, academics, and the general public new perspectives on the problem of the nasab of children born outside of marriage and the function of Religious Courts in governing and adjudicating such matters. In order to safeguard children's rights and preserve a harmony between religious norms and legal requirements in the country, more research in this field is required to determine the long-term effects of such rulings.

Published: April 2024

Bu makale, finansal gelişme ile para politikası etkinliği ilişkisini 32 ekonominin panel verilerini kullanarak ortaya çıkarma amacını taşımaktadır. 2004-2017 yıl aralığında Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Tahmincisi (GMM) aracılığıyla analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ekonometrik analize konu olan ülkeler ilk olarak tek grup olarak kullanılmıştır. Buna ek olarak inovasyon güdümlü ve faktör ve verimlilik güdümlü ülkeler şeklinde iki farklı alt gruba ayrılarak analizlerde kullanılmıştır. Finansal gelişme ölçütleri olarak özel sektöre verilen krediler, borsa kapitalizasyonu ve finansal sistem mevduatları değişkenlerinin kullanımı tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre finansal gelişme para politikası etkinliğini inovasyon güdümlü ekonomilerde etkilemektedir. Faktör ve verimlilik güdümlü ekonomilerde finansal gelişme, spesifik bir durum haricinde, para politikası etkinliği üzerinde herhangi bir etkiye sahip olarak bulunmamıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular, politika yapıcılar ve para otoritelerinin dikkate alması gereken birkaç önemli sonucu vurgulamaktadır. İnovasyon güdümlü ekonomilerde, finansal gelişme, para politikasının makroekonomik hedeflere ulaşmadaki etkinliğini artırmak için güçlü bir araç olarak kullanılabilecektir. Bu bağlamda politika yapıcılar, finansal aracılığın geliştirilmesi, sermaye piyasalarının derinleştirilmesi ve finansal hizmetlere erişimin artırılmasını teşvik eden reformları uygulamaya koymalıdır. Öte yandan, faktör ve verimlilik güdümlü ekonomilerde, para politikası etkinliğinin finansal gelişme duyarlılığının düşük olduğu görülmektedir. Bu durumlarda politika yapıcılar, makroekonomik hedeflere erişme sürecinde etkinliği sağlayabilmek adına diğer politika araçlarına odaklanmalıdır. Bununla birlikte, finansal gelişmenin para politikası etkinliği üzerinde etkileri olabilecek spesifik durumlar ortaya çıkabilecek ve söz konusu senaryoların tespit edilmesi karar verme aşamasında oldukça önem arz etmektedir
KAYBOLAN ÖZGÜRLÜK: FRANKFURT OKULU’NDA ARAÇSAL AKIL VE KÜLTÜR ENDÜSTRİSİ ELEŞTİRİSİ

Published: April 2024

Aydınlanma düşüncesinin en önemli iddialarından birisi, bir yanda doğa bilimleri ve teknik ilerleme insanlığın yaşam koşullarını iyileştirirken, sosyal ve ahlaki ilerlemenin de toplumsal ve siyasal alanın özgürlük ve eşitlik çerçevesinde düzenlenip refaha kavuşturulacağı beklentisidir. Ancak bu rasyonel ilerlemenin beklenen çıktıları üretememesi, Aydınlanmanın bu temel fikrinin eleştirilmesine yol açmıştır. Bu kapsamdaki en büyük eleştirilerden birisi Frankfurt Okulu olarak bilinen düşünce okulundan gelmiştir. Bu makale Frankfurt Okulunun aydınlanma, kapitalizm ve araçsal akıl eleştirisi kapsamında kültür alanını konu eden argümanları üzerinde yoğunlaşmaktadır. Frankfurt Okulu düşünürlerine göre, Aydınlanmacı akıl, rasyonel ilerleme yoluyla gerçekleşecek insan özgürleşmesi amacından tarih içerisinde kopuş yaşamıştır. Söz konusu kopuşun ileri endüstriyel toplumlardaki tezahürlerinin anlaşılması için kültür konusuna odaklanmak gerekmektedir. Kültürün endüstrileşmesi hayatın tümden düzenlenmesinin en ileri aşaması olarak bireysel alanı düzenlemeyi de içermektedir. Bu makalede, Frankfurt Okulu düşünürlerinin ideoloji ve kültür endüstrisi ilişkisine yönelik argümanları tartışılarak, özgürlüğün artık ancak bireysel bir deneyim alanı içerisinde, geçici ve sahte bir tatmine kavuşturulan bir tür tüketim nesnesi haline dönüşümü irdelenecektir. İleri endüstri toplumlarında hüküm süren bilimsel ve teknolojik rasyonalite giderek sosyal, politik ve kültürel boyuta taşınmıştır. Kültürün endüstriyel üretimi, özgürlüğün bireysel ve subjektif bir alana hapsolmasına hizmet etmiş ve maddi düzeydeki çelişkilerin aşılmasında engel teşkil edici bir rol kazanmıştır. Kültür endüstrisi aracılığıyla insanlar subjektif özgürlük deneyimleri yaşamakta fakat bu deneyimler gündelik varoluş mücadelesinin olgusal dünyasında gerçek bir etki yaratmamaktadırlar. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada, Frankfurt Okulu’nun Aydınlanmanın vaat ettiği insan özgürleşmesi iddiasına yönelik eleştirisinin izi sürülerek, günümüz endüstriyel toplumunda özgürlüğün artık ancak kültürün bireysel tüketiminde sahip olunan sahte bir özgürlüğe dönüştüğü argümanı ortaya konulmaktadır.

Çağımızın tartışmasız en önemli olgularından biri olan tüketimi anlayabilmek birçok disiplinin temel amaçları arasındadır. Tüketim motivasyonları, bireyleri satın alma davranışına götüren kişisel ve toplumsal sebepler çoğu araştırmanın birincil çabasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çaba doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilen araştırmalar modern kapitalist dünya düzeni içerisinde bireylerin tüketim aracılığıyla, maddi sahiplik ile toplumsal statü ve prestij kazanma, kendilerine dair anlam aktarımı yapma, ideal olan “ben”i yansıtma motivasyonlarına sahip olduklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Öyle ki bireyler satın alma davranışını gerçek ihtiyaçlarından bağımsız arzularıyla şekillendirmekte, yaşamlarındaki olumsuz duyguları, kaygı ve stresi kronik satın alma eylemi ile çözmektedir. Mevcut çalışma ile tüketicilerin materyalist eğilimleri, prestij hassasiyetleri ve kompulsif satın alma davranışlarıyla ilgili çıkarımlar yapmak amaçlanmaktadır. Belirlenen amaç doğrultusunda 308 katılımcı ile anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler istatistiki analize tabi tutulmuş materyalist tuttum ve prestij hassasiyeti katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, gelir, eğitim düzeyi ve aktif çalışma hayatları bağımsız değişkenleri bağlamında incelenmiş aynı zamanda materyalist eğilimlerin ve prestij hassasiyetinin kompulsif satın alma davranışı üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir.

Kişiselleştirilmiş reklamcılık, dijital reklam mecralarında internet kullanıcılarına kişisel verilerine dayalı olarak daha alakalı ve kullanıcıların ilgi alanlarıyla uyumlu reklam deneyimi sunmayı hedefleyen bir yaklaşımdır. İnternet kullanıcılarının sanal ortamda bıraktığı; kişisel bilgiler, satın alma davranışları, internet kullanım alışkanlıkları, ilgi alanları gibi pek çok veri izlenmekte, depolanmakta ve bu veriler markaların iletişim faaliyetleri için kullanılmaktadır. Kişiselleştirilmiş reklam deneyiminin tüketicilerde olumlu davranışsal niyetlere etki edebildiği fakat diğer taraftan olumsuz birtakım algıları da yol açabildiği bilinmektedir. Bu paradoks, alanda merak edilen bir araştırma problemi olarak görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın amacı, tüketicilerin algılanan kişiselleştirme düzeylerinin, gizlilik endişesi, gözetim algısı ve marka kullanım niyeti üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmanın evrenini, Türkiye’de yaşayan 18 yaş ve üzeri internet kullanıcıları oluşturmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, çalışmada veri toplama tekniği olarak çevrim içi anket uygulamasından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında 610 kişiye ulaşılmış ve 556 katılımcının anket formu değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Araştırma hipotezleri Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi ile test edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen verilerin güvenirlik ve frekans analizi SPSS Windows 25.0 ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile hipotez testleri analizi AMOS 23.0 programıyla yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, algılanan kişiselleştirmenin marka kullanım niyetini ve algılanan gözetimi olumlu yönde etkilediği ve algılanan gözetimin ise gizlilik endişesini olumlu yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Manifestations of Epistemic Violence in Assumptions of Students in an Undergraduate Classroom in Bangladesh
Authors: Talukder Ali Azgor , Samuel Moses
Published: April 2024

Epistemic violence refers to the silencing and displacing of a system of knowledge deemed to be inferior by another system of knowledge self-perceived as superior. In postcolonial context, it refers to the dominance and imposition of Western ways of perceiving the world by displacing the non-Western ways of perceiving the world. Colonial discourse is so encompassing in the postcolonial countries that students come to the classroom with assumptions that carry baggage of epistemic violence. According to Freire, the manifestations of this global “theme” may take particular dimensions in particular societies. Critical interrogation of epistemic violence requires identification of the particular manifestations of epistemic violence in particular societies. Following the approach of critical discourse analysis, this paper attempts to explore how epistemic violence manifests itself in the student assumptions exposed in their classroom interactions in an undergraduate classroom in Bangladesh, a postcolonial country. The findings reveal that besides the Western form of epistemic violence, there are local varieties of epistemic violence in Bangladesh. The discourses contributing to epistemic violence have been so ingrained in society that they appear as symbolic capital exercising symbolic violence where education plays a big role. The manifestations of epistemic violence in the context of Bangladesh revealed in this study have implications for framing critical instruction for problematising epistemic violence in postcolonial countries like Bangladesh.
Effectiveness of Assessment Exemplars in a Business Management Course
Authors: Lee Andrew Hock Cheong
Published: April 2024

Samples of past and present student work should not just be kept away in the faculty drawers, cabinets or simply stored in the digital space. There are many benefits from these valuable pieces of work that can be shared with their peers and future students. By sharing and showing these exemplars, students understand better the expectations for their own work to obtain good grades. They not only learn to benchmark their work against their peers and understand the assessment requirements better, but most importantly, exemplars provide them guidance when undertaking a piece of assessment. This action research explores the use of assessment exemplars and its effectiveness on Business Management students in a pre-university programme at a private university in Malaysia. A basic qualitative approach using focus group discussions was adopted. Four major themes on the impact of assessment exemplars emerged from the focus group discussions, namely assessment exemplars provide guidance, make students aware of standards and expectations, provide motivation to start writing, and builds confidence. This study provides insights into understanding students’ experience in using exemplars in the pre-university context.
