Authors: Ballav Srabanti , Mukherjee Sandipan , Dimri Ashok P.
Published: August 2020

The present work highlights response of a global spectral model T80L18 with respect to Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) during 8 years period of 1996-2003. The model performance is evaluated for day-1, day-3 and day-4 retrospective 24-hour accumulated rainfall forecasts from 0300 UTC to the next day 0300 UTC using in-situ rainfall observations of 4491 stations. The model performance is evaluated by assessing: (i) percentage departure and root mean square error (RMSE) of seasonal rainfall forecast, (ii) coefficient of variation (CoV) of seasonal rainfall forecast and observation, along with percentage departure of monthly rainfall forecast and (iii) model performance during a drought and a normal year of 2002 and 2003, respectively. Generally, it is noted that the T80L18 model underestimated high rainfall and overestimated low rainfall, however, with increasing forecast duration prediction over low rainfall areas improved. The model RMSE over central and western India is found to increase with increasing forecast duration; however, the same was found to decrease over Jammu and Kashmir. The CoV of day-1 rainfall forecast is found to be low over all India in comparison to the observed data. In the case of model performance evaluation during a drought and a normal year of 2002 and 2003, it is noted that the model produced higher rainfall over the rainfall deficit regions of observed distribution; whereas the heaviest observed rainfall region (>250 cm) is not well resolved by the model. In general, the T80L18 model performance is noted to be better over central India for mean seasonal rainfall prediction.
Resistance and Potential for Development: Examining the Role of Religion in the Development of Women in the Infrastructure Projects in Pakistan
Authors: Rahat Rahla
Published: August 2020

Pakistan is going through large scale infrastructure development with most of the state-led mega projects being funded by international financing agencies. Many of these agencies have mandatory social safeguards to mitigate the negative impacts of the projects for project-affected-communities especially women. This provides the government an opportunity to advance the conditions of women in project areas. However, the gender mainstreaming efforts usually face resistance from communities on various grounds including religion.
This study explores the nature of resistance on religious basis and the strategies used by the development practitioners to manage such resistance. A qualitative research approach was employed and through a purposive sampling technique participants were recruited for this study. In-depth interviews were used to collect data which was analyzed by thematic analysis. The data was collected from development practitioners working for government and international financing agencies on infrastructure projects.
Resistance towards development of women initiatives are on interventions, presence of female staff in communities, and on giving access to project teams, including women, to females in communities. Major reasons for this resistance were suspicion of projects, especially if the financing agencies were Western, and the fear that development of women may result in women losing their religious and cultural values which may lead to the breakdown of the institution of family and Islamic society. The strategies to deal with these resistances include involving religious leaders as stakeholders, peer education through religious scholars, exposure visits for local religious leaders, developing gender and cultural sensitivities of the staff, meaningful consultation with community, and effective grievance redress mechanism.

Published: August 2020

This paper intends to know how Qur’ānic Scripture influenced prevailing values of art and aesthetics with an exclusive Islamic worldview and contribution. It is an important aspect of Islamic civilization which may be studied from the very beginning of Islamic history along with later developments examining critically various characteristics of Islamic aesthetics. Employing analytical method, we came to know Qur’ānic Scripture as a precursor of Islamic aesthetics and raison d'être for Islamic culture and civilization. It functions as super hand in the Islamic cultural ingredient changing ideas and thought totally or partially ameliorating prevailing social standards. This discourse makes it clear that the Islamic foundation of aesthetics is one of the contemporary matter of the Prophetic era. By dint of this study, one may become familiar with the concept that how art and aesthetics were welcomed, customized, innovated and transferred after their infiltration as per Islamic norms inculcating values. Islamic civilization warmly welcomed to any alien sorts of aesthetic reflection trimming its irrelevancy off in the light of Tawḥīd showing harmony exercising within its own domain, identity and unique weltanschauung. Hence, Qur’ānic Scripture vis-à-vis Islamic aesthetics has self-explanatory evidences of its origin, distinctive historical promotion and its identity in different cultural diversity.

Published: August 2020

Abstract. A change in the varietal composition of wheat causes response changes in the population of the fungus, which evolves conjugately. Population studies of the causative agent of leaf rust of wheat are carried out in many countries. Comparison of populations of P. triticina is mainly carried out geographically. The purpose of the study was to analyze the dynamics of the virulence of North Caucasus Puccinia triticina populations under the influence of winter wheat varieties with different types of leaf rust resistance. Methods. The study was carried out in 2018 in the experimental field and greenhouses All-Russian Research Institute of Biological Plant Protection. Two varieties of winter wheat: Kralya and Vershina with different types of resistance to leaf rust, were used for the experiment. Cultivar Kralya had race-specific resistance; cultivar a Vershina had race-nonspecific resistance to leaf rust. Virulence analysis of the impact of each cultivar on the structure of the pathogen population based on the results of differentiation of P. triticina populations, collected from each cultivar and compared to the mixed pathogens population. As a result, it was found that the genotype of a winter wheat variety with race-specific resistance significantly affects the virulence of the P. triticina population. The frequency of virulent pathogen isolates to most lines with Lr genes has changed under the influence of driving selection. Therefore, the wide regionalization of varieties with race-specific resistance will contribute to selective pressure on the P. triticina population and the accumulation of virulent phenotypes in it. The genotype of a wheat variety with nonspecific resistance did not cause significant changes in the gene pool of the virulence of the leaf rust pathogen population. In accordance with the obtained values of the Nei index, the pathogen population collected from a variety with race-specific resistance has significant differences with the combined population (N = 0.68), in contrast to the population of P. triticina collected from the Vershina variety (N = 0.41). The results obtained confirm the importance of screening varieties by resistance types for further decision making on their placement. Varieties with race-specific resistance are best used for mosaic placement with subsequent mandatory rotation in time and space. And varieties with nonspecific resistance, which are weakly affected by all races of the pathogen and cannot be carriers of infection, can be used over large areas for a longer time, combined with varieties from various groups, including their own. Scientific novelty. There have been practically no studies on the effect of wheat varieties with different types of resistance on the virulence of rust fungi populations, although this direction is of great practical interest for both selection and varietal placement.
Energy metabolism in aberdeen-angus bulls during the growing period with different levels of metabolizable protein in the diets
Authors: DEN'KIN A. , LEMEShEVSKIY V.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. The nature of biosynthetic processes and the productive qualities of ruminants depend on the level and ratio of substrates absorbed in the digestive tract. The maximum efficiency of the biosynthesis of meat components in the body is ensured if the amino acids enter the metabolic pool in sufficient quantity and in the optimal ratio. The purpose of the work is to study the needs of Aberdeen Angus meat bulls calves for metabolizable protein for the optimal use of amino acids and metabolizable energy of the diet for the increase in live weight of bulls-calves during the growing period. Research materials. Consecutively, 3 series of studies were carried out on bulls calves of the Aberdeen Angus breed with a live weight of 277 kg, 317 kg and 363 kg. The animals of the 1st experiment were fed according to the RAAS (Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences) standards, where the ratio of the exchange protein to the exchange energy was 8.2 g/MJ, in the 2nd and 3rd experiments they increased the level of the exchange protein to 8.6 and 9.1 g/MJ due to the introduction of 0.5 kg and 0.6 kg of soybean meal in the diet, respectively. At the end of each period, physiological experiments were performed. Results. The studied parameter did not have a significant effect on the dry matter intake of the feed, and an increase in the diet of hard-to-break down protein contributed to an increase in the concentration of metabolizable energy and digestibility of dry matter. It was found that metabolizable energy and amino acids are effectively used to increase the live weight of bulls calves during the growing period on a diet in which the ratio of metabolizable protein to metabolizable energy is 8.6 g/MJ. A further increase in metabolic protein in the diet leads to an increase in heat production, which in turn increases the use of amino acids and metabolic energy in energy metabolism and reduces their contribution to the increase in live weight.

Gyrotrons
Authors: Sabchevski Svilen , Glyavin Mikhail
Published: August 2020

Gyrotrons are among the most powerful sources of coherent radiation that operate in CW and long pulse regimes in the sub-THz and the THz frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, i.e. between 0.3 THz and 3.0 THz (corresponding to wavelengths from 1.0 to 0.1 mm). This region, which spans between the frequency bands occupied by various electronic and photonic devices, respectively, is habitually called a THz power gap. The underlying mechanism of the operation of the gyrotron involves a formation of bunches of electrons gyrating in a helical electron beam and their synchronous interaction with a fast (i.e. having a superluminal phase velocity) electromagnetic wave, producing a bremsstrahlung radiation. In contrast to the slow-wave tubes, which utilize tiny structures with dimensions comparable to the wavelength of the radiation, the gyrotrons have a simpler resonant system (cavity resonator) with dimensions that are much greater than the wavelength. This allows much more powerful electron beams to be used and thus higher output powers to be achieved. Although in comparison with the classical microwave tubes the gyrotrons are characterized by greater volume and weight due to the presence of bulky parts (such as superconducting magnets and massive collectors where the energy of the spent electron beam is dissipated) they are much more compact and can easily be embedded in a sophisticated laboratory equipment (e.g. spectrometers, technological systems, etc.) than other devices such as free-electron lasers (FEL) and radiation sources based on electron accelerators. Nowadays, the gyrotrons are used as powerful sources of coherent radiation in the wide fields of high-power sub-THz and THz science and technologies [1][2][3].

In recent years, the incidence of immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorders, including celiac disease (CeD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is increasingly growing worldwide. It is well established that primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) exhibit gastrointestinal manifestations and mimic other diseases, including CeD and IBD. The most common PIDs in adults are the selective immunoglobulin A deficiency (SIgAD) and the common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). However, some differences concerning diagnostics and management between enteropathy/colitis in PIDs, as compared to idiopathic forms of CeD/IBD, have been described. There is an ongoing discussion whether CeD and IBD in CVID patients should be considered a true CeD and IBD or just CeD-like and IBD-like diseases. This review addresses the current state of the art of the most common primary immunodeficiencies in adults and co-occurring CeD and IBD.

Objectives: To view a case report of mandibular ossifying fibroma (OF) in pediatric male.
Case Report: A 12 year old child came to RSHS with a panoramic radiograph with the chief complaint of swelling in the right mandible. Panoramic radiograph shows well-defined mixed lesions with radiolucent content and snowflake-like opaque. MDCT shows a superior-inferior and bucco-lingual extension of the lesion. The suspicion of this case leads to Ossifying Fibroma with differential diagnosis of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) and Calcifiying Ephitelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT).
Conclusion: OF cases in children, especially mandibular, are very rare, where the characteristics of the lesion can be well defined through the help of panoramic radiographs and MDCT. OF is a lesion that has benign characteristics with well-defined borders, and the most important lies in the presence of wrapping capsules and mixed internal structures accompanied by snowflake-like calcification.
Effectiveness of Melon Shelling Technology and Preference by Rural Women in Nigeria
Authors: Wasiu Oyeleke Oyediran
Published: August 2020

Few years ago National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) launched melon sheller to reduce burden of obtaining melon oil and cake, and to enhance rural women’s productivity. This study looked at the productivity of promoted melon shelling technology and preference by rural women in Nigeria. Data were gathered from the NCAM workshop and survey of melon processors in Niger State. In the workshop, it was found that time allowed for soaking melon and covering with piece of clothes contributed to the productivity of the sheller. Results from survey revealed that 95.1% of the respondents’ preferred Internal Combustion technology and 90.2% liked electric-driven melon shellers over the manual one. Also, 69.5% obtained the shellers from local fabricators rather than NCAM. The technology led to increased turnout of melon (378kg/hr) and reduced wastages to 1.26kg out of 75.6kg. The study concluded that the promoted melon sheller is efficient and have positive implication on the rural women’s productivity and revenue. The study recommends that the rural women should put the melon sheller into its maximum capacity use. The NCAM should extend training to the local fabricators so that they can improve on the technology most especially in the areas of winnowing and washing of melon kernels.
Rendering Muslims as Terrorists in the English Comic Books: Analysis of Liberty for All and Holly Terror

Published: August 2020

Comic books are not only designed to entertain the readers but they also become a medium to communicate something between the lines. Comic books are a popular medium in western countries. This paper investigated the depiction of terrorist incidents allegedly involving Muslims in English comic books. The study aimed to analyze the treatment that was given to the Muslim and non-Muslim characters especially as a part of terrorist organizations while showing real-life terrorism based incidents. It was also intended to explore how they induced fear appeal in their stories regarding particular characters. Through purposive sampling, two comic books have been selected to know how the Muslim characters in the comic book were portrayed in a derogatory manner and to know how they have recaptured the incident of September 11, 2001. Liberality for All and Holy Terror are the two books that were selected and analyzed by using the method of content analysis. Drawing upon the theoretical perspective of Agenda Setting (and Framing), it is assumed that the comic books were prepared deliberately to depict Muslims in a deprecating approach. The results ask the orientalist scholars to raise their eyebrows toward the depiction of Muslims in comic books whose audience is relatively younger and the particular portrayal in such manner can have a profound and longer effect on the young minds regarding Muslims.

Social media, in the new millennium, has become a very effective tool of communication, information, and propagation regarding all social, religious, and political discourses that further lead towards ideological divisions. In the contemporary democratic world, the role of social media for political opinion building is obvious which is done by opinion leaders through political information and debates. The purpose of this study is to explore the social media use and political polarization among social media users. The survey research method was used to examine social media use for political engagement and political polarization. Private university students were selected as participants (n=350). The result was found positive which means that social media use is responsible for political polarization. Moreover, social media use is also a significant predictor of political engagement. In addition to this, the results show that political engagement is a mediator between the relationship between social media use and political polarization. The practical implications of the study have been discussed.

How Can Small States Like Iceland Work Effectively With International Financial Institutions?
Authors: Hilmarsson Hilmar Þór
Published: August 2020

Conducting a constructive relationship with international financial institutions (IFIs) can be a challenge for small states like Iceland. Iceland is a member of the World Bank Group and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, but not a member of the regional development banks, i.e.: the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the African Development Bank. IFIs work both with the governments of emerging market economies in formulating and supporting policy reforms as well as with the private sector as private sector lead projects can help boost economic reconstruction in emerging markets. But can small states work effectively in partnership with IFIs? This article will discuss the challenges faced by small states in working with IFIs both when supporting government reforms in emerging market economies as well as when promoting private sector activities and investment in those economies.

Felice Vinci, Omero nel Baltico. Le origini nordiche dell’Odissea e dell’Iliade (5th edition; Rome: Palombi Editori, 2009)
Authors: Bottai Stella
Published: August 2020

I heard about Felice Vinci’s book for the first time in 2001. At that time I was starting my scholarly researches in Finnish art and I found it most intriguing to be introduced to the unconventional theories on classical mythology of a professional engineer, who proposed as of the 1990s a new approach to Homer’s epics. According to Vinci, the origins of the Iliad and the Odyssey are to be retrieved in the Northern European countries, and specifically on the Baltic coasts. I must confess that I was sceptical at the beginning. Then, I read his book and began to appreciate the quality of his arguments.

The growth of public awareness of the environment is directly proportional to the development of the use of electric cars. Electric cars operate by consuming electrical energy from battery storage, which must be recharged periodically at the charging station. Solar panels are one source of energy that is environmentally friendly and has the potential to be applied to charging stations. The use of solar panels causes the charging station to no longer depend on conventional electricity networks, which the majority of it still use fossil fuel power plants. Solar panels have a problem that is not optimal electrical power output so that it has the potential to affect the charging parameters of the battery charging station. Adaptive Velocity-Particle Swarm Optimization (AV-PSO) is an artificial intelligence type MPPT optimization algorithm that can solve the problem of solar panel power optimization. This study also uses the Coulomb Counting method as a battery capacity estimator. The results showed that the average sensor accuracy is more than 91% with a DC-DC SEPIC converter which has an efficiency of 69.54%. In general, the proposed charging station system has been proven capable to enhance the energy security by optimizing the output power of solar panels up to 22.30% more than using conventional systems.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease that causeschronic hyperglycemia and disturbance in carbohydrate, lipid and proteinmetabolism. It causes various changes in the cells of the oral mucosa, which canbe determined by exfoliative cytology. The aim of this study was to study theCytomorphometric alterations of exfoliated buccal mucosal cells in diabeticpatients and to establish an additional diagnostic tool in diabetic patients inChattogram area.

Materials and methods: It was a cross-sectional comparative study carried outin the Department of Pathology, Chattogram Medical College, Chattogram. Oralsmears were obtained from 88 diabetic patients and 88 healthy individuals. Thesmears were stained with Papanicolaou solution. The cell diameter and nucleardiameter of 50 clearly defined cells were measured by multi-head microscope(OLYMPUS B51X). The cytoplasmic area and nucleus-cytoplasmic ratio werethen calculated. SPSS software (version 17) was used for statistical analysis ofthe study.

Results: In the result, mean Cell Diameter (CD), Nuclear Diameter (ND),cytoplasmic diameter (CyD) and N/C ratio of diabetic patients and healthy werefound to be 250.29 ± 29.02 μm, 54.48 ± 4.03 μm, 195.81 ± 27.97 μm, 0.283 ±0.04 and 287.15 ± 25.23 μm, 47.41 ± 2.52 μm, 239.74 ± 24.45 μm, 0.199 ± 0.02.A statistically significant increase in ND & N/C ratio and decrease in CD &CyDwere observed in diabetic patients compared to control. In addition, it wasfound that age, sex, blood sugar level, duration and treatment history ofdiabetes do not affect the morphometric changes significantly.

Conclusions: Result of this study suggests that diabetes produces definitemorphometric changes in the exfoliated buccal mucosal cells. Exfoliativecytology can be useful as an additional tool to aid in diagnosis of diabetesmellitus.
