Analysis of Gender Disparity in Economic Growth of Third World Economy
Authors: Mishra Vandana
Published: July 2023

This article focuses on the gender gap in economic growth across the third world. It has been noted in the past that women’s labour is never viewed as being on par with men’s labour. Promoting a stronger role for women helps the economy, improves child survival and family health, and decreases reproduction, reducing population growth rates, according to global experience. In other words, egalitarianism is vital for long-term prosperity. In every country, women make up half of the population. We need to consider how women contribute to a nation’s economic development. According to the United Nations (1993), they only receive a modest percentage of chances and advantages. Women’s empowerment will directly impact economic diversification, increased productivity, and income equality, all of which will lead to other beneficial development outcomes. In this paper, emphasis has been put up on the comparative understanding of developed and developing nations. Additionally, a broad comparison is made for both nations. Some instances are also mentioned where women have contributed significantly to global economic progress.

The View from Langley: The cia and Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the Era of “Canada First” Economic Nationalism
Authors: Eberlee Sam
Published: July 2023

Postwar Canada-us relations have been punctuated by conflicts of political and economic interest. Declassified us Central Intelligence Agency (cia) documents reveal that Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s nearly sixteen years in power (1968–84) were an especially turbulent chapter in this history. Against the backdrop of the demise of the Bretton Woods system, oil shocks, and stagflation, the cia paid close attention to Canadian policy and regulatory changes that threatened us economic and energy interests. The American intelligence community attributed the Foreign Investment Review Agency, Petro-Canada, oil export controls, and the National Energy Program to the rise of a menacing “Canada First” brand of economic nationalism. From the American vantage point, these bilateral irritants became urgent foreign policy issues in the midst of the neoliberal revolution. Thecia concluded that Trudeau was an obstacle to positive Canada-us relations and briefed policy-makers right up to the president accordingly.

Research Trends on the Influence of Oxygen Vacancies in Post BaTiO3 (BT) Ceramics for Next-Generation MLCCs
Authors: Seo Intae , Lee Ka-Young , Oh Cheol-Min , Kang Hyoung-Won
Published: July 2023

In line with the trend towards electrification in mobility, there is a demand for the development of next-generation Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors(MLCCs) with superior properties compared to those using the conventional BaTiO3 (BT) ceramics. For this, various high-performing ferroelectric ceramics have been proposed as post-BT materials, and numerous studies have been conducted on the role of oxygen vacancies within these materials. It has been confirmed that oxygen vacancies in the ceramic material have a significant impact on various properties such as oxygen ionic conduction, IR degradation, microstructure, aging degradation, and hardening effect, and by controlling the concentration and mobility of oxygen vacancies, it is possible to adjust these properties. We hope that research on the role of oxygen vacancies in various high-performing ferroelectric ceramics will be utilized as a foundation of knowledge for the development of next-generation MLCCs in the future.

Published: July 2023

In this study, textured 0.38(Bi0.97Sm0.03)ScO3-0.62PbTiO3 (0.38BSS-0.62PT) ceramics with high Curie temperature were evaluated to assess temperature stable characteristics for high-temperature piezoelectric device applications. The 4 vol% BaTiO3 incorporated 0.38BSS-0.62PT ceramic was fabricated by conventional tape casting. Textured 0.38BSS-0.62PT ceramic was successfully produced at sintering temperature of 1150°C by textured grain growth (TGG). Textured 0.38BSS-0.62PT ceramic exhibited a high degree of crystal orientation of 94% in the [001]-direction. It also showed excellent dielectric and piezoelectric properties, (εT33/ε0 of 1746, d33 of 719 pC/N, kp of 61.8% and g33 of 45×10-3Vm/N, respectively). In addition, it also exhibited relaxor-like ferroelectric characteristics with a large relaxation coefficient (γ) of 1.77 along with high Curie temperature of approximately 373℃. Its temperature stability was satisfactory, resulting from in-situ d33 and kp, which were lower than 10% below Curie temperature. The electro-strain also showed thermally stable characteristics. Therefore, it is considered that the textured 0.38BSS-0.62PT ceramic has potential for high-temperature piezoelectric device applications.

Published: July 2023

Recently, there has been significant research activity in the field of energy storage systems with a focus on improving the energy density and safety of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). The liquid-state electrolytes used in LIBs have several safety issues, including flammability and decomposition due to exothermic reactions during repeated cycles. Addressing the flammability issue is particularly important for the widespread adoption of eco-friendly electric vehicles. As a result, all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) that use stable and non-flammable solid-state electrolytes are being considered as an alternative solution. The use of solid-state electrolytes can also address concerns about thermal runaway, and research into adopting Li metal anodes is being conducted to achieve high-energy-density ASSBs. However, the problems of Li dendrite formation and solid electrolyte dissociation due to the reaction between Li and solid electrolyte still exist in ASSBs. To address these issues, many researchers are actively studying various types of anodes for ASSBs, including Li-metal, Li-interlayer, anode-free, carbon-based, oxide-based, and Li-alloy-based ASSB anodes. This study reviews recent progress and issues related to various types of ASSB anodes.

Published: July 2023

The coverage of Mucuna bracteata D.C. cuttings plays a vital role in their survival percentage, as it helps maintain appropriate humidity and temperature levels. Uncovered cuttings may experience inhibited growth due to their inability to adapt to direct sunlight. Moreover, the acclimatization process following the removal of the cover is crucial before transferring the cuttings to the field. This research aimed to investigate the impact of various coverage durations on the survival rate of Mucuna bracteata D.C. cuttings. The research was conducted in Telaga Said Village, Langkat Regency, Indonesia, using a non-factorial randomized block design (RBD). The treatments included coverage durations of 1 week (L1), 2 weeks (L2), 3 weeks (L3), 4 weeks (L4), and 5 weeks (L5) after the initial covering of the cuttings. The results revealed that a 4-week coverage duration provided an excellent survival rate of 85% for Mucuna bracteata D.C. cuttings, along with the highest average number of leaves, number of tendrils, number of root nodules, average fresh and dry weight of the crown, average fresh and dry weight of the roots, and the highest average root-to-crown ratio. This information is valuable for the successful propagation and establishment of Mucuna bracteata D.C. cuttings, aiding in the efficient cultivation of this species. Further studies can explore additional factors that may contribute to the overall success of Mucuna bracteata D.C. propagation.
The Role of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the Formulation of the USSR Science and Technology Policy in the 1920s – 1940s
Authors: Samarin Aleksey
Published: July 2023

In the first quarter of the 20th century no common scientific policy existed neither in the Russian Empire nor in the Soviet Union although there was a need for such a policy in view of the want of addressing the tasks of industrialization and overcoming the country’s technology gap. The article shows how the young Soviet state formulated its science and technology policy priorities and how it succeeded in creating one the most effective science organization systems in the world. We analyze the measures aimed at introducing planned scientific research, creating scientific institutes, establishing a network of scientific centers in the country’s remote regions, and organizing postgraduate education to train the cadre of scientists. Taken together, these measures resulted in the emergence of a unique scientific complex whose formation proceeded differently than that in the advanced countries of the West. The intensified development of Soviet science occurred at the same time as global changes in the role of fundamental science in the progression of modern civilization. By the late 1940s, global science became a driver in the development of modern society and Soviet science in many aspects found itself at the forefront of this process.

Authors: Juliantara I Putu Eka , Pratama Angga
Published: July 2023

Background: CT scans with contrast media administration have been used to confirm the presence of pathology in the blood vessel of the brain. High accuracy and fast scanning time produced by CT scans make this modality the main choice in assessing aneurysm pathology in the brain. Technological advances and the development of CT-helical image acquisition techniques have enabled neuroradiologists to evaluate brain aneurysms in a short time. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography has also been reported to be useful in the diagnosis of brain aneurysms, but it is generally more time-consuming than 3D CTA, and MRI is very sensitive to movement artifacts.Methods: This research is qualitative research with an observational approach that aims to determine the management of carotid-cerebral CTA artery examination in Premier Bintaro Hospital. Unstructured interviews and documentation are used as study instruments to complete the required data.Results: Cerebral Angiography CT examination technique in Premier Bintaro Hospital uses a bolus tracking scanning technique with ROI monitoring of the Carotid Internal Artery and using triggering of 100-120 HU as a peak enhancement to ROI monitoring. This has been proven to produce optimal enhancement in the Circulus of Willis (CoW) region as Volume of Investigation (VOI) in cerebral Angiography CT-Scan. Post-processing is done by displaying images ranging from axial pre-contrast, axial post-contrast, study (pathology), MIP (Axial, coronal, sagittal), Region of Interest MIP (structure labeling), 3D VRT-bone removal.Conclusion: Scanning technique with bolus tracking and ROI monitoring of the Internal Carotid Artery and using triggering of 100-120 HU as a peak enhancement on ROI monitoring can display the arterial artery image very well so that it can be post-processed easily without reducing quality and related image information.

Teachers very rarely notice students' language anxiety. One of the implications of anxiety is that students are passive when learning languages, especially learning related to speech skills; most teachers perceive it as demotivated, lack of interest, and cognitive failure. The research was conducted by interviewing teachers and learners at UIN Antasari and IAIN Metro. Meanwhile, in-depth interviews are conducted to dig up information. The results showed several findings, such as the source of anxiety dominated by language errors raised by learners. The results of a search of teachers prove that the source of language anxiety is the ability to speak. The results of the theoretical discussion showed that the positive side of language anxiety is that it encourages learners to increase learning activities in the classroom.
