Snug Harbour Cottage
Authors: Atkinson Cheryl
Published: July 2023

This addition and renovation project restores a pine cabin built in 1910 that commands a promontory overlooking Georgian Bay in the Canadian Shield. This coastline is an International UNESCO Biosphere Reserve recognized for its windswept white pines, clear water and sculpted pink granite terrain. This cabin is one of the last remaining buildings from the period in the area and is recognized as a local landmark, a place with ghost stories and a history as a writing retreat for Farley Mowat.

Various lean-to additions and verandah roofs were removed to bring additional light to the dark cedar-lined interior and clarify the original building form. A 42 sqm kitchen and dining room addition has been added to the south flank of the existing house with a two-storey dining area and roof-top lookout that recalls the local lighthouses that mark the entry to Snug Harbour and Parry Sound.

This result indicates that the Students' Perception of management accounting courses and students' perception of the management accounting field significantly impact the accounting profession. Recommendations: Improving management accounting curricula, providing faculty development programs, promoting industry collaboration and internships, providing career counselling, encouraging industry-relevant research, and cooperating with professional accounting bodies are especially important in higher education institutions' activities. With these methods, higher education institutions may guarantee that their students are given practical training, match their academic programs to market demands, and increase their employability in accounting.
What Influences to Financial Leverage in Listed Construction Firms in Vietnam? The Role of Asset Tangibility and Growth Opportunities
Authors:   Banking Academy of Vietnam, Hanoi, Vietnam, Manh Pham Tien
Published: July 2023

Investment projects in the construction industry usually require a large amount of capital. Most businesses need more capital to implement the investment project; therefore, they use borrowed capital and mobilise capital from investors. Understanding the determinants of excessively low or high leverage among construction companies provides essential information in identifying these companies' financial strategies. This research observes the sample of 53 listed construction entities on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) in Vietnam, with the 2018-2022 period, to find out what factors impact financial leverage. Statistical data is collected and aggregated from enterprises' audited consolidated financial statements. The author uses financial leverage as a dependent variable, while independent variables include asset tangibility, growth opportunities, profitability, liquidity, firm size and firm age. In addition, GDP and inflation rate are considered as control variables. The author uses OLS, FEM, REM and GLS models, modified Wald test and Wooldridge test to determine the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The research results show that asset tangibility, profitability, liquidity and firm size are statistically significant in explaining the firm's financial leverage change. In contrast, other variables such as growth opportunities, firm age, GDP and inflation were not correlated with the dependence variables. In particular, asset tangibility is the most significant determinant for financial leverage, which means those charged with governance of construction firms should consider carefully before deciding to acquire fixed assets. Based on research findings, the author suggests recommendations for managing financial leverage in construction companies in Vietnam. However, the results of this study will also be helpful for construction companies in other countries.

A case study on limitations of commercial autosomal STR kits for determination of half-sibling by DNA analysis
Authors: Hasan Md Mahamud , Sharmin Tarana , Akhteruzzaman Sharif
Published: July 2023

A case study was conducted to evaluate the significance of adding lineage markers for a complex kinship analysis. Additional genetic information may increase likelihood ratio values for true relationships in a pedigree, while reducing the chance of identifying false relationships. It is very difficult to establish a relationship between siblings by the statistical evaluation with autosomal STR markers. The clear discrimination of true versus false relationships is important for complex kinship cases, such as sibling testing, deficient paternity testing, missing person’s identification as well as immigration testing with the help of forensic DNA technology. This case study represents a false parent-child relation or full sibling, one individual is male and other individual is female, where matches were found at least one allele at all 23 tested autosomal STR loci with Combined Likelihood is 75,446,930.822 for Parent-Child and 284,041.488 for Half-Sibling indicates that 266 times more likely parent-child than half-sibling. In order to reach an accurate conclusion, we further included one sister of the putative brother and mother of the putative sister and these four individuals DNA samples were analyzed with X-chromosome STR kits, showing mismatches between claimed siblings in eight loci out of twelve loci and confirm that they are not parent-child. Finally we confirm that they are half-sibling and they are come from same father but different mother. This case emphasizes the necessity of lineage markers like X chromosome or Y chromosome DNA data for interpreting critical sibling cases where one of the siblings is female and their father is dead.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of this research work was to improve the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of carbamzepine by solid dispersion (SD) technique. Polyethylene Glycol 6000, Polyethylene Glycol 4000, poloxamer 407 and povidone k 30 were used as water soluble polymer for preparing solid dispersion. Solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent evaporation method. Methanol was used as solvent. Drug-carrier physical mixtures were also prepared to compare the rate of dissolution. Effects of different polymer were studied for solid dispersion formulation as well as physical mixtures. A significant increase, almost 100% in the release of carbamzepine within one hour was observed in case of the solid dispersion formulations containing PEG 6000 in combination with poloxamer 407 at the ratio of 1: 1: 5. By far, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies showed the stability of carbamazepine and absence of well-defined drug-polymer interactions. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) studies indicated that the incorporation of polymers transforms crystalline carbamazepine into amorphous state, thus increasing its solubility and dissolution rate.

Published: July 2023

A field experiment was conducted at The Agronomy Field, Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Patuakhali during the period of May 2013 to August 2013. The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of seed rate on nodulation of dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) under non-saline agro-ecosystem. The experiment comprised of seven different seed rates viz. 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 kg ha-1. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The seed rates had significant influence on different parameters of dhaincha plant. The maximum plant height was (4.109 m), maximum plant diameter was (0.9200 cm), maximum dry weight of nodule was (5.59 g plant-1) were observed at the seed rate of 30 kg ha-1.In study period the maximum numbers of nodule plant-1 (39.60) at harvest and T7 (60 kg ha-1) showed minimum number of nodules plant-1 (30.33). It was observed that the highest number of abnormal nodules plant -1 (19.87) while (30 kg ha-1) gave the lowest number of abnormal nodules plant -1 (12.47). It was found that the (30 kg ha-1) observed the maximum dry weight of nodules (5.59 g plant-1) and the minimum dry weight of nodules (3.61 g plant-1) was found from (60 kg ha-1). The highest plant population (336.0) was found in T7 (60 kg ha-1) while T1 (30 kg ha-1) showed the lower plant population (114.0). This result indicated that higher seed rate produced the maximum plant population than lower seed rate which ultimately resulted in higher production of biomass.

Bangladesh is in danger area of the world because of its geographic location and the coastal zone of Bangladesh is worldwide recognized as an extremely vulnerable area. For determining disaster related losses and possible disaster management options, the south-west coastal belt Manirampur upazila and Abhaynagar upazila of Jessore district were selected. The survey was conducted by pre-structured questionnaire among six villages from Bagutia union of Abhaynagar upazila and Haridaskati union of Manirampur upazila, during January-June, 2015. A total of 100 households were randomly selected from the six study villages which were based on mainly livelihood pattern of the households (crop production, shrimp culture and others). The average income of the respondents was found 2001-4000 Tk. per month. Average land holding capacity per household was about 80 decimal. About 90% respondents of the study area said the intensity of disaster was more than before. Most of the respondents thought they were vulnerable to disaster. Most of the respondents were experienced with water logging condition. This study attempts to develop a proposed solution for enhancing DMS which reducing loss and copes with all kind of disaster in Bangladesh. In the study area 80% people to wanted TRM and 20% people do not want TRM; they thought TRM might be the probable solution of disaster vulnerability. It can be concluded that number of victim people caused by disaster decreases because of technological advancement but disaster occurrence increases from past to recent due to climate change impact.

A study was conducted to assess the existing bio-security practices in different live poultry markets in some selected areas of Bangladesh such as Dhaka City Corporation, Sirajgong Sadar and Sahjadpur Upazila from January 2015 to May 2015 using semi-structured and pre-tested questionnaire along with observation. A total number of one hundred twenty (120) respondents were purposively selected from the above mentioned locations. Forty (40) respondents were selected involved in live bird market and information collected from each area of markets to know the different contributing factors of live bird market bio-security situation through personal interviewing method. The results of the present study reveals that around seventy one percent (71%) live bird’s sellers used different type’s drugs to keep their birds sound and alive until sold out all birds. This study noticed that more than 71 percent respondents did not dispose the dead birds scientifically. The survey result showed that about fifty percent (50%) respondents used separate dress during working period at their sale centers. It was also observed that 87 percent respondents did not use commercial disinfectant to clean their dressing materials. Further it is noted that the sanitary and hygienic practices of the most live poultry sale centers were poor. This study clearly revealed that there was a high risk of disease transmission and dissemination both to poultry and human beings due to poor bio-security of live poultry markets in the study areas. It could be concluded that immediate necessary steps need to be undertaken by the government and other regulatory organizations to improve the live bird market situation for ensuring the safe poultry meat in the country.

Published: July 2023

One of the viral diseases affecting both domestic and wild animals in many countries around the world is foot and mouth disease (FMD). The livestock sector has been suffering significant financial losses for many years as a result of the disease. The present research work was focused on the isolation, documentation and serotyping of the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) virus from different locations. Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the FMD virus (FMDV) serotype-O that is currently circulating in the BHK-21 cell line. All the tested samples were positive for FMDV and specific for serotype-O was 64.67-52.67% from tongue epithelium tissues and 30.67-16.67% from foot tissues respectively based on locations. In BHK-21 cell lines, the viruses caused cytopathic effects such as rounding, enlargement, intercellular bridge breakdown, and finally, death of cells, which shows the presence of the FMD virus under an inverted microscope. The BHK-21 cell culture fluid was found positive for FMDV in cell culture and also was positive based on CPE. Once more, the resulting inoculum was used to serotype the virus using RT-PCR. Based on the result of the RT-PCR method, the conclusion reached was that the serotype of the FMD virus was ‘Type O’.

Published: July 2023

Campylobacter is a prevalent zoonotic bacterial pathogen found in various food animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry. The increasing production of crossbred cattle in Bangladesh is aimed at meeting the demand for animal protein. However, this trend also poses public health risks associated with emergence of cattle-specific Campylobacter. It is probable that there is an increased probability of transmission of pathogenic Campylobacter among humans and animals, as well as within the farm environment. Nevertheless, it has been established that Campylobacter is also a significant contributor to childhood diarrhea in Bangladesh.  The objective of this study is to examine Campylobacter in animals and humans, including the risk factors that contribute to its occurrence, patterns of antimicrobial resistance, and measures that can be taken to prevent and control its spread. The study has established predominant maintenance zoonotic Campylobacter in source animals and their burden in humans is enormous. Our research is primarily focused on promoting public health by improving cleaning and sanitation practices in animal farms, which can help reduce the amount of Campylobacter present in the environment. The data and insights provided in this article can be valuable for policy planners and public health experts who are working to create effective and sustainable strategies aimed at reducing the risks associated with Campylobacter infection over the long term.

Beef is one of the most demanded food products in Indonesia compared to other meat commodities. The high demand of this commodity causes a shortage of its supply so that the government has to import it from other countries. As the consequences, people in Indonesia prefer to consume imported beef rather than local beef, especially those in the food industry, since imported beef has better quality. Thus, government may establish a program that is able to increase the local beef quality thereby increasing its competitiveness, for instant by cross-breeding of local and imported cattle. This paper is to discuss a cross-breeding simulation to predict the distribution of offspring produced in the next few generations through mathematical approach. Simulations are conducted by following the X-Linked Inheritance concept and algebra. Simulations are carried out by three different scenarios which consider gender of the imported cattle. The simulations show that all scenarios are able to produce local cattle offspring with imported quality. However, the offspring from the cross-breeding still preserve cattle with original local genetic with a different ratio between the first and the second scenario.

The need for the provision and service of clean water from time to time is increasing which is sometimes not matched by the ability and knowledge of clean water. The majority of people still do not know whether water is suitable for consumption or not. The quality of drinking water can be distinguished based on the mineral parameters contained in the water. This article will explain the classification of water sample data by applying a Machine Learning Algorithm, which includes modeling with Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest Classifier, K- Nearest Neighbor(KNN), XGBoost Classifier. Classification models produce varying degrees of accuracy. The highest accuracy is obtained in the Random Forest Classifier model with an accuracy rate of 78%. Analysis of drinking water quality with machine learning algorithms is very easy to understand, because the results of this study produce very simple results so that they are easy to understand

Whilst aquaculture continues its global expansion, containment of fish in sea cages remains a persistent environmental challenge. Within Atlantic salmon Salmo salar farming, widespread escapes over several decades have left a legacy of ecological and genetic impacts on wild populations. Quantifying the characteristics of escapees, and how they vary in time and space, is important to understand how environmental impacts will vary and how mitigation strategies need to be tuned. Using a fish trap located in the River Etne on the west coast of Norway, we created an ecological and genetic profile for 616 escapees entering the river. The most important findings of the present study were (1) the annual number of escapees entering the trap declined in the period 2014-2018; (2) more than half of the escapees entering the river were mature; (3) the vast majority of escapees entering the river were categorised as recent escapees; (4) nearly all (96%) of the early escapees were mature upon entry to the river, while just over half (55%) of the recent escapees were mature; and (5) the escapees originated from multiple sources every year. We conclude that without the fish trap, this population would have been at risk of exposure to further spawning and introgression of domesticated salmon. Furthermore, the current findings of maturation status and escape history highlight the fact that mitigation efforts to reduce escape of smolts, post-smolts and larger fish all need continued attention from the management authorities and aquaculture industry.

In 1692, in the context of the Nine Years War (1689-1697), Admiral Tourville’s French fleet faced the Anglo-Dutch alliance along the Norman coast. Five large French men-of-war were reduced to ashes close to Tatihou island in St-Vaast-La Hougue bay (Manche county, France). Discovered in 1985, these shipwrecks have been excavated from 1990 to 1995 by Michel L’Hour and Élisabeth Veyrat, from the Département des Recherches Archéologiques Subaquatiques et Sous-Marines (DRASSM, Ministry of Culture). Among the numerous remains, fish bones were found in large quantities on one of the wrecks. Preliminary studies conducted between 1990 and 1992 by Myriam Sternberg determined that the fish remains were cod (Gadus morhua L.) which were reserved for food aboard. The data recovery during the year 2020-2021 allowed the acquisition of new knowledge on the supplying and the process carried out on this fish.
An investigation into the absence of ancient Greek triremes in the archaeological record and a study of the battlefield deposition at the site of the Battle of the Aegates, off the Egadi Islands, to determine whether this example could direct future exploration for evidence of ancient Greek sea battles.

Triremes enjoyed a long military history. However, no Greek trireme wrecks have been found, despite many thousands being built and lost. This short report seeks to explain this phenomenon. Many scholars hold that rammed triremes floundered rather than sank. I contend that there is little evidence to support this notion. Recent finds from the Battle of the Aegates (241 B.C.E.) demonstrate that ancient warships did sink, and this article examines the specific conditions of the battle which caused the rammed warships to sink. Therefore, I propose an approach to target investigations on ancient Greek sea battles of the Classical period with similar conditions, where remains could be found.

In today’s society, as the digital transformation has become widespread rapidly; information technologies also started to develop themselves quickly along with this prevalence. This rapid development and transformation bring about new and different requirements. Situations like reuse of the information, the ability to integrate the obtained information and sharing it, among others, have pushed Semantic Web to the forefront, especially scientifically. Semantic Web, which provides the communication of a machine with other machines, gets a great attention especially in today’s digital age. Probably because of this, significant works have been done on ontology development method and ontology based systems started to be advanced over the last decade. Ontology development methods or ontology based systems play a key role in the integrity, being shared and management of the data. Ontology development method, which is of vital importance in reusability and expandability of real time monitoring systems, is in a position to be accommodable to many architectural systems like Deep Learning architecture at the same time.
