Soil fertility evaluation is important for adopting conservation management and adequate nutrient supply. The objective of this study was to identify critical levels and soil fertility classes using the boundary line method for rainfed crops (corn, cowpea and sabiá [Mimosa caesalpiniifolia]) in the Brazilian semi-arid region. A database of 226 soil fertility analyses of samples from the 0.00-0.20 m soil layer, and corn, cowpea and sabiá yields from Ceará State was used to generate interpretation classes (at 80 and 95 % of maximum yield). In a scatter plot, soil nutrient concentrations (x-axis) and relative crop yields (y-axis) were correlated, and the border points fitted to a quadratic model. Proposed interpretation classes were classified as very low, low, adequate, high and very high, except for Na

Authors: - Chitrashree B S , - Dr. Veena Ishwarappa Bhavaikatti
Published: November 2024

The goal of the current study is to identify the employee welfare strategies used by the IT sector. Anything done for the comfort and betterment of employees beyond the payment of wages—which is not a requirement of the industry—is referred to as employee welfare. The main goal of employee welfare is to maintain and improve the quality of life for employees. Half of an employee's time is spent either arriving at work or departing from it. When they are comparatively worry-free, they feel that they are contributing to the organization, and when they are having issues, they believe that the organization should be helping them. Individuals have the right to be regarded as complete human beings with unique needs.

Authors: - Tanmoy Biswas , - Sushmita Bhattacharya
Published: November 2024

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following surgery, affecting up to 30% of patients despite advances in anaesthesia and surgical techniques. It can be distressing for patients and may lead to complications such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, wound dehiscence, and delayed recovery.

Several factors contribute to PONV, including patient-related factors (such as age, gender, history of motion sickness, and smoking), anaesthesia-related factors (type and duration of anaesthesia, use of volatile anaesthetics, opioids, and muscle relaxants), and surgical factors (type and duration of surgery, intraoperative hypotension, and use of certain drugs like opioids and nitrous oxide). It can be determined by APFEL score which says that female sex, non-smokers, history of motion sickness and post operative use of opioids have high chances of PONV. Although PONV is a very detrimental disorder, it can last for several hours to days.
Not only it depends on the anaesthetic factors it is also affected by surgical stress. PONV is said to the most important factor resulting to delayed recovery and prolonged hospital stay.
Examining Wrongful Convictions Based on Fingerprint Evidence
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: November 2024

Fingerprint evidence has long been seen as a cornerstone of forensic science, valued for its unique traits and reliability. However, some wrongful conviction cases reveal significant flaws in how fingerprint evidence is collected, interpreted, and relied upon, highlighting its limitations. This article reviews key cases like those of Brandon Mayfield, Stephen Cowans, and Shirley McKie, where mistaken interpretations led to serious injustices. Contributing factors to these erroneous convictions include unclear or incomplete prints, personal biases, laboratory errors, and systemic issues within fingerprint databases. Moreover, cognitive biases can influence analysts' judgments, especially in high-stress scenarios. To improve accuracy and ensure justice, the forensic field must refine evidence collection techniques, enhance examiner training, establish reliable databases, include independent witnesses in searches and seizures, record processes with video documentation from scene of crime to the forensic laboratory, and support fingerprint evidence with additional methods along with improved protocols, blind testing, and independent verification to mitigate risks and preserve the reliability of fingerprint evidence in the justice system. While fingerprints remain vital in forensic investigations, it’s crucial to reevaluate their use to prevent future wrongful convictions.

Death Row: an In-depth Examination of Life in a Death Cell and the Legitimacy of Capital Punishment
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: November 2024

The concept of "death row" in prisons highlights the intricate interplay of legal and ethical dilemmas related to capital punishment. These specialized cells, located in the secure areas of correctional facilities, are designed to oversee inmates sentenced to death through strict regulations and confinement. In 2023, India saw a notable increase in its death row population, partly due to new and pending death sentences. While awaiting execution, these prisoners often face prolonged isolation, resulting in serious psychological effects like depression and anxiety. Critics contend that such conditions constitute cruel and inhumane treatment, violating human rights. There have been many cases around the world where individuals who were executed were later exonerated. Ongoing debates about the effectiveness and moral implications of the death penalty have intensified calls for reform and its elimination, making death row a contentious aspect of modern correctional systems. International organizations are advocating for humane treatment and underscoring the need for judicial reforms and a re-evaluation of death row practices.
The Jama Mapun's Kana-kanahan Ni Uruhan: the Culture of Storytelling
Authors: - Ophaila Nasil Monteron
Published: November 2024

This paper explored the Jama Mapun legends which despite their existence in antiquity remained to complement the Jama Mapun’s culture but may vanish over time because they are not written. Sometimes in 1976, the late anthropologist Professor Arsenio E. Manuel here in the Philippines encouraged the collecting and recording of oral tradition countrywide which served as one of the bases in launching this study. At least five legends were collected and analyzed with Lavob’s Narrative Model of Analysis which is used to answer the following research questions: the linguistic features of the legends, the classification and themes of legends, and how they connect to the culture of the Jama Mapuns, and what does the legend embody within the cultural tradition of the Jama Mapun.
The findings of the analysis show that the legends portray themes of the transgression of traditional belief, leadership skills, jealousy, ungratefulness, and justice. The transcribed legends reveal prevalent linguistic features of affixations, circumfixation, and reduplication of words, which sorting and correctness were accurate per verification with the grammar rules compilation of Millard A. Collins. and Virginia R. Collins (2001) lexicographers of Mapun-English Dictionary. Additionally, the dialect’s verbs are not tense-aspect as a result, particles ‘lai’, ‘lai’, ‘bay’, and ‘bawoy’ are used to recoup the function of verbs, which features among others, are identical to some other Philippine local dialects as with the seminal work of Lawrence A. Reid, & Hsiu-Chuan Liao (2004)., authors A Brief Syntactic Typology of Philippine Languages.

Published: November 2024

Milkfish is one of the healthy and nutritious fish available, and it is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and protein, which are essential for the proper functioning of the body. Mud clams, on the other hand, are rich in Vitamin B12, providing iron and additional protein.
Mud clams, with their potential to regulate high blood pressure and support thyroid health, are a promising addition to any diet. Their rich content of riboflavin, choline, minerals, and vitamins, coupled with their low-fat content, make them a healthy choice.
This study utilized bangus flakes and clam meat in varying proportions, combined with butter, garlic, chili, onion, liver spread, soy sauce, black pepper, annatto oil, oil, and salt. The objectives of the study were to develop a bangus-mud clam sisig product, evaluate its sensory characteristics (color, odor, taste, and texture) in different formulations, and determine whether there were significant differences in the acceptability of bangus-clam sisig across treatments. Moreover, the study aimed to identify the most preferred formulation (MPF) and assess consumer preferences.
The development was performed in five (5) treatments with three (3) replications. The quality of the product was determined through sensory evaluation. The bangus-clam sisig had similar color, odor, taste, texture, and acceptability, regardless of the amount of bangus flakes and mud clam meat added to the formulated product. The addition of bangus and mud clam in the development of sisig, even in varying percentages, had no significant effect on the results in terms of color, odor, taste, and texture. However, during cooking, especially when pan-frying, the skin browns and crisps up. This contributed a significant amount of brown color to the overall dish.
The results show that there was no significant difference in the overall acceptability of bangus-clam sisig, regardless of the amount of bangus and clam. All treatments were acceptable. Out of the five (5) treatments, the most preferred formulation consisted of 50% bangus and 50% mud clams. The findings show that most of the faculty employee and college students at the Capiz State University-Dayao Satellite College, preferred the bangus-clam sisig.

Published: November 2024

This article focuses on how Gender discrimination exists in certain sections of the Indian legal system and how it is to be combated in the near future. When most people hear the term “Gender Discrimination” they often tend to associate with the inequalities faced by women without paying heed to the possibility that even women have the potential to be adversary and not just men. Considerable sections of Chapter V of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 unintentionally favour or go against particular gender. Through this article we try to address and depict the aftermath of limiting the privileges or the punishment to a certain gender. The article does not intend to pinpoint the flaws in the legal system rather focuses on how certain offences have been mentioned to be stereotypically committed only by a man. The article revolves around breaking the glass ceiling and proves that both genders are equally capable of committing certain offenses against women. The readers get the opportunity to unmask the fact that the perpetrator cannot be limited to “Men” alone.

Crime is an action that violates the laws of a country or region. A person who commits such an act is referred to as a criminal. The term female criminality refers to crimes that are exclusively committed by women. One of the most consistent findings in criminology is that women commit fewer crimes than men. However, female criminality is rising at an alarming rate in today’s society. This study aims to assess the current state of female criminality and its changing patterns in Bangladesh and identify the underlying factors contributing to its rise, particularly the influence of the family environment. It employs an analytical methodology, utilizing data gathered from informal interviews with judicial officers, advocates, and police officers, as well as a review of relevant literature, laws, and case studies. Both primary sources, including legal documents and interviews, and secondary sources, including books and articles, have been used to enhance the analysis of female criminality in Bangladesh, with a major focus on Comilla. Finally, based on the themes and patterns identified in the study, it proposes effective strategies and measures to prevent female criminality.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) poses a significant threat to global health. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in the 10th edition of the Diabetes Atlas, DM has become one of the most rapidly escalating global health emergencies. In 2021, 537 million people in the world were living with DM. This number is projected to reach 643 million by 2030, and 783 million by 2045. Indonesia is in the top 10 countries with the most DM patients, reaching 10 million people. Self-efficacy in DM patients, shows the results that there are still many patients who have low efficacy.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Methods: This quantitative research utilized a cross-sectional design involving 165 patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus undergoing outpatient treatment. A purposive sampling technique was applied, and data were analyzed using bivariate analysis to assess the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy. The sample in this study amounted to 165 people with purposive sampling technique . The analysis method used was bivariate analysis to see the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that a significant relationship with a positive direction, namely, the higher the value of knowledge the higher the value of self-efficacy, and the strength of the moderate correlation between knowledge and self-efficacy. With moderate correlation strength. The coefficient of determination is 0.228, which means that the knowledge variable affects self-efficacy by 22.8% for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship, positive direction and moderate correlation strength between knowledge and self-efficacy in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In this regard, nursing can provide a preventive effort on cognitive aspects such as providing education on the importance of self-efficacy.

Actualmente los dos radiofármacos aprobados por la AEMPS que incluyen 177Lu son [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE para el tratamiento de tumores neuroendocrinos y [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 para el tratamiento de cáncer de próstata metastásico resistente a la castración. El RD601/2019 establece que en las exposiciones médicas de pacientes debidas a tratamientos de radioterapia o de medicina nuclear, los volúmenes de planificación se planificarán individualmente y se verificará convenientemente su realización, teniendo en cuenta que las dosis de órganos sanos y tejidos fuera de los considerados de planificación deberán ser lo más bajas que sea razonablemente posible y estarán de acuerdo con el fin deseado del tratamiento. Sin embargo, para ambos radiofármacos el tratamiento se realiza administrando ciclos de 7.4 GBq del radiofármaco — 4 ciclos para [177Lu] Lu-DOTA-TATE y 6 ciclos para [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617. Esto implica que los tratamientos no pueden planificarse, pero si al menos verificarse mediante dosimetría. El objeto del presente documento es proporcionar unos procedimientos estandarizados para la realización de dicha dosimetría en los tratamientos con los mencionados radiofármacos.

Published: November 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) practices has marked a revolutionary shift in reproductive medicine, offering enhanced precision, efficiency, and personalized treatment plans. The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to significant innovations in the field of reproductive medicine, particularly in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Traditional IVF procedures, while effective, often face challenges such as variable success rates, high costs, and the emotional burden on patients due to multiple treatment cycles. AI offers a promising solution to these issues by enhancing accuracy, personalization, and efficiency throughout the IVF process. AI algorithms have shown remarkable capabilities in diagnosing infertility by analyzing complex datasets from hormone profiles, genetic testing, and medical imaging, enabling early identification of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis. Moreover, one of the most promising applications of AI in IVF is embryo grading. However, AI systems have been developed to objectively evaluate embryos based on time-lapse imaging, morphology, and other parameters, improving the selection process. Additionally, AI has been instrumental in optimizing ovarian stimulation protocols by analyzing patient data to determine the appropriate medication dosage, minimizing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This review discusses the current state of AI integration in fertility treatments, successful case studies, and ongoing research to develop more sophisticated AI models. Overall, AI holds immense promise in making IVF more accessible, affordable, and successful for patients worldwide, ushering in a new era of precision medicine in reproductive health.
