Examining the Basic Level Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices on ELT Curriculum
Authors: Baskota Prateet , Thapa Punam
Published: September 2023

This study sought to answer how basic level English teachers define ‘curriculum’ and use it to investigate teachers’ perspectives on the curriculum. The purpose of this study is to investigate the beliefs and methods used by basic level English language teachers in Nepal concerning the basic level English curriculum. A qualitative method was employed. This study presents the participants’ perspectives on the basic level English curriculum and how it is really taught in classrooms. Additionally, the qualitative approach to data collecting and interpretation was used to obtain individual perspectives on how people would view and perceive the curriculum as a whole. In order to examine the experiences of the research participants, we used meaning-oriented procedures using semi-structured interviews. The study’s findings showed that even though the teachers are aware of the curriculum and its significance, they are unable to put it into practice in their actual classroom settings. We can infer from the participant data that although our participants have some theoretical knowledge of the curriculum, they are unable to apply it to their real-world circumstances.

Authors: Sapkota Shiba Prasad , Madai Tek Bahadur , Pant Deepak Raj
Published: September 2023

This study examined and analyzed the revenue collection and effectiveness of spending for the period of 15 years (2005–2020) of the government of Nepal. The study employed the causal-comparative research design. For the comparison of results, it has demarcated findings before and after 2015, because the government of Nepal adopted a federal system instead of a unitary system in 2015. Where the sources of revenues are independent variables, government spending are mediating variables, and measures of effectiveness are dependent variables. Population growth moderates the relationship between revenue collection and spending. Similarly, corruption and inflation rate moderate the relationship between government spending and measure of effectiveness. The empirical data were taken from the official website of the Nepal Government and the World Bank. Three effectiveness measuring variables have appeared increasing for the study period. But employment to total population ratio has been found to decrease. Government spending has been positively related to per capita income after 2015, which was negative before that period. Government spending on health has been found positive and significant relationship with life expectancy at birth. Education expenditure has been found positively associated with the literacy rate after 2015, whereas there was a negative association before that period. The outcome of the study will be applicable to identify the areas for fiscal policy improvement to better serve its citizen.

Published: September 2023

The increase in cell temperature with increased irradiance is probably the most significant disadvantage of using photovoltaic with reflector modules. In this study, a developed Phase Change Material system was integrated into the rear section of a concentrating Photovoltaic system to limit its temperature rise. The heat transmission of the concentrating photovoltaic with a phase change material system was investigated using an experimental method and a numerical method. The temperature distribution was simulated numerically using ANSYS 2021 three-dimensions model. Three cases were studied: one without wax, one with wax, and one with wax and fins. The results displayed convergence between the experimental results and the numerical results. The effect of using phase change materials on performance and efficiency of concentrated photovoltaic cells, the amount of temperature reduction through the wax melting period for concentration with paraffin wax and concentration photovoltaic with fin and paraffin wax by 2.8 °C and 6 °C, respectively, as well as an enhancement in efficiency of photovoltaic at the noon time of cases by 1.807% and 3.182% related to the reference photovoltaic. The outcomes also demonstrated that using fins aids in the distribution of temperatures, resulting in regular melting of wax in comparison to wax without fins.
BIT ERROR PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT FOR UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC NOISE CHANNEL BY USING CHANNEL CODING
Authors: Easa Murad Thamer , Al-Aboosi Yasin
Published: September 2023

The harm that underwater noise pollution poses to aquatic ecosystems and the resources that support it are being acknowledged on a worldwide scale. Fisheries and ecotourism are only two of the important businesses that are impacted by noise pollution. Reducing underwater impact noise is a major challenge for underwater acoustic communication systems. However, the implementation of noise reduction measures (noise abatement) remains limited. Most communication systems assume that the noise is both additive and Gaussian. Underwater Acoustic Noise (UWAN) systems generally perform poorly because of the often large non-Gaussian components in intermittent noise in the ocean. This study presents an experimental model (Dolphin-EAR DE200 Series) sound channel noise underwater at Lake Diyala Hamrin, Iraq, using a hydrophone model. Low data volume, multipath propagation, low bandwidth, and higher bit error rate (BER) of received data are major issues for underwater communication systems. In this paper, the Underwater Acoustic Channel (UWAC) aspect is evaluated and an error performance term is determined from the noise in the Student's t-distribution. In addition, Signals using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) are used to generate error power analysis.

Planning for Next Time: The Challenges Faced by a Veterinary Teaching Hospital During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Hamilton Elizabeth , Puschner Birgit , Olivier N. Bari , Gray Christopher , O’Connor Annette
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic challenged critical services to maintain operations while facing a highly transmissible human pathogen. As public health officials worked to manage the crisis, initial guidelines focused on the continuation of services in the human health care setting. However, through state-mandated stay-at-home orders, the Michigan State University veterinary teaching hospital remained open to provide emergency services to both large and small animal patients. This was accomplished by distilling pertinent safety information from the available human health care guidance to safely maintain operation. Challenges faced when pivoting the delivery of veterinary education from in-person to virtual format were addressed and in-person clinical rotations were resumed as soon as possible. Strategies to effectively communicate information that is both immediately critical and broadly applicable should be considered and planned before they are needed. Infection control and disaster management plans should be revisited often to ensure they include all known risks and potential challenges. Plans to maintain staffing capacity and student safety when faced with an unexpected surge in patients should be laid out with clearly defined metrics on which to act. The lessons we have learned from the pandemic would improve the delivery of care and teaching in a veterinary teaching hospital in both day-to-day circumstances and future emergencies.

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease which affects nutritional status of the patients. The presence of poor nutritional status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients has been one of the most important determining factor in recommending adjuvant nutrient therapy to prevent oxidative stress and further complication.Objective: This study was designed to assess the nutritional status and body mass index of pulmonary tuberculosis patients.Patients and methods: During the period 1st of June 2010 to 30th of May 2011, a prospective study was done on 60 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and 60 controls.Levels of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB.), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), and body mass index (BMI) were measured.Results: The mean levels of TP (59.5 ± 0.8g/dl), ALB (23.4 ± 1.8g/dl), TC (138.7 ± 4.9mg/dl), HDLC (32.2 ± 4.0mg/dl), LDLC (86.5 ± 1.3mg/dl) and TG (62.4 ± 1.3mg/dl) were significantly lower while the level of globulin (36.2 ± 1.2g/dl) was significantly higher in pulmonary tuberculosis patients when compared with controls (TP=81.2 ± 4.5g/dl; ALB= 50.0 ± 4.0g/dl; TC = 213.5 ± 26.8mg/dl; HDLC = 57.4 ± 8.5mg/dl; LDLC = 161.1 ± 28.3mg/dl; TG= 148.5 ± 37.1mg/dl; globulin = 31.4 ± 1.7g/dl respectively). (P <0.05)The body mass index (16.9 ± 1.1kg/m2) was significantly lower when compared with controls (BMI= 23.5 ± 2.1kg/m2). (P <0.05)20Conclusion: There is a significant degree of nutritional depletion and weight loss in PTB patients than in general population. BMI is considered to be a useful technique for assessment of nutritional state of PTB.The nutritional derangement could call for prompt nutritional intervention in the management of pulmonary tuberculosis patients.

Published: September 2023

Background:

Despite the striking efforts in investigating neurobiological factors behind the acquisition of amyloid-β (A), protein tau (T), and neurodegeneration ([N]) biomarkers, the mechanistic pathways of how AT[N] biomarkers spreading throughout the brain remain elusive.

Objective:

To disentangle the massive heterogeneities in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progressions and identify vulnerable/critical brain regions to AD pathology.

Methods:

In this work, we characterized the interaction of AT[N] biomarkers and their propagation across brain networks using a novel bistable reaction-diffusion model, which allows us to establish a new systems biology underpinning of AD progression. We applied our model to large-scale longitudinal neuroimages from the ADNI database and studied the systematic vulnerability and criticality of brains.

Results:

Our model yields long term prediction that is statistically significant linear correlated with temporal imaging data, produces clinically consistent risk prediction, and captures the Braak-like spreading pattern of AT[N] biomarkers in AD development.

Conclusions:

Our major findings include (i) tau is a stronger indicator of regional risk compared to amyloid, (ii) temporal lobe exhibits higher vulnerability to AD-related pathologies, (iii) proposed critical brain regions outperform hub nodes in transmitting disease factors across the brain, and (iv) comparing the spread of neuropathological burdens caused by amyloid-β and tau diffusions, disruption of metabolic balance is the most determinant factor contributing to the initiation and progression of AD.
Analysis of the trade-offs between parametric and non-parametric classifiers for classification of faults in pneumatic actuator. Case: DAMADICS
Authors: Mahalingam Priyadarshini , Kalpana D. , Thyagarajan T.
Published: September 2023

This paper disseminates an extra dimension of substantial analysis demonstrating the trade-offs between the performance of Parametric (P) and Non-Parametric (NP) classification algorithms when applied to classify faults occurring in pneumatic actuators. Owing to the criticality of the actuator failures, classifying faults accurately may lead to robust fault tolerant models. In most cases, when applying machine learning, the choice of existing classifier algorithms for an application is random. This work, addresses the issue and quantitatively supports the selection of appropriate algorithm for non-parametric datasets. For the case study, popular parametric classification algorithms namely: Naïve Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Perceptron (PER) and non-parametric algorithms namely: Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), k Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT) and Random Forest (RF) are implemented over a non-parametric, imbalanced synthetic dataset of a benchmark actuator process. Upon using parametric classifiers, severe adultery in results is witnessed which misleads the interpretation towards the accuracy of the model. Experimentally, about 20% improvement in accuracy is obtained on using non-parametric classifiers over the parametric ones. The robustness of the models is evaluated by inducing label noise varying between 5% to 20%. Triptych analysis is applied to discuss the interpretability of each machine learning model. The trade-offs in choice and performance of algorithms and the evaluating metrics for each estimator are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. For a more cogent reasoning through validation, the results obtained for the synthetic dataset are compared against the industrial dataset of the pneumatic actuator of the sugar refinery, Development and Application of Methods for Actuator Diagnosis in Industrial Control Systems (DAMADICS). The efficiency of non-parametric classifiers for the pneumatic actuator dataset is well proved.
TODIM-VIKOR method for quality evaluation of tourism rural landscape planning and design with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers
Authors: Yan Zhenggang
Published: September 2023

With the continuous deepening of the construction of urban-rural economic integration in China, rural construction activities supported by rural revitalization strategies have changed the development thinking of rural economy. While implementing the goal of rural ecological economy, optimizing the rural living environment has become one of the important contents of rural revitalization, including the planning and design of rural landscapes. Rural landscape planning and design need to comprehensively consider the adaptability of landscape and rural ecological environment, emphasize the impact of rural spatial structure differences on landscape planning and design, and achieve scientific and humanized landscape planning and design, thereby creating a more warm, natural, and comfortable rural living space. The quality evaluation of tourism rural landscape planning and design is a multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Recently, the TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multicriteria decision making) and VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method has been inaugurated to cope with MAGDM issues. The 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) are inaugurated as a effective tool for characterizing uncertain information during the quality evaluation of tourism rural landscape planning and design. In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic TODIM-VIKOR (2TLN-TODIM-VIKOR) method is inaugurated to solve the MAGDM under 2TLNSs. In the end, a numerical case study for quality evaluation of tourism rural landscape planning and design is inaugurated to confirm the proposed method.

Published: September 2023

With the development of the Internet and the informatization construction of universities, the massive data accumulated by “campus big data” presents problems such as discreteness and sparseness. Students with abnormal behaviors have become an urgent problem to be solved in student behavior analysis. This paper proposes an early warning method for abnormal behaviour of college students based on multimodal fusion and an improved decision tree (EWMABCS-MFIDT). First, given the insufficient representation of student behavioral portraits and the problems of timeliness and dynamics in behavioral labels, a student behavioral portrait based on the multimodal fusion method is proposed. Second, aiming at the timeliness and backwardness of abnormal behavior prediction, based on student behavior classification prediction, this paper proposes an improved decision tree-based early warning method for abnormal student behavior. Finally, we design a student behavior analysis and early warning framework under the campus big data environment. Taking the abnormal early warning of students’ academic performance as an example, compared with other early warning algorithms, the EWMABCS-MFIDT method can improve the accuracy of early warning and make students’ educational work more targeted, personalized, and predictive.

Authors: Moghaddam Teymourlu Sohrab Abdollahzadeh , Amini Amir
Published: September 2023

In the current study, a new approach to assess and select food suppliers in hospitals is presented using integrated group evaluation method of fuzzy best- worst method (FBWM) and fuzzy gray relational analysis (FGRA). Evaluation criteria are selected by experts and weighed by the fuzzy best-worst method. After that, suppliers are rated using FGRA method. The proposed approach was implemented with seven criteria in one of the Iranian hospitals, and the results showed that quality, delivery time and trust criteria had the highest and skilled manpower and lack of surplus production criteria had the lowest score. Using FGRA, existing suppliers were ranked and the appropriate supplier was identified. In order to evaluate the reliability of the results, sensitivity analysis was performed on the criteria changes. The results showed that the supplier’s selection is greatly influenced by the criteria estimation values by the experts.

Published: September 2023

The lack of effective failure correlation analysis is one main reason for the gap between the reliability models and the actual complex systems with mixed static and dynamic characteristics. Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) dynamic fault tree is one powerful tool to analyze the static and dynamic failure logic relationship but it assumes the failure probability of the event is independent. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-dimensional T-S dynamic fault tree analysis method involving failure correlation. The method integrates the failure probability distribution function of basic events with multi-factors and the multi-dimensional copula function, and the important measure of this method is also deduced. The reliability model expression for systems with failure correlations, both in series and in parallel, is discussed and verified. Compare the proposed method with the assumption that the probability of a failure event is independent. This method solves the problem of a large error when ignoring the failure correlation between parts and the degree of the correlation between variables can be characterized. The reliability analysis can be conducted on complex systems affected both by multi-factors and failure correlations. The proposed method is applied to the reliability analysis of a hydraulic height adjustment system and the correctness and superiority of the method are verified.

Published: September 2023

Nowadays, WSN-IoT may be used to remotely and in real-time monitor patients’ vital signs, enabling medical practitioners to follow their status and deliver prompt treatments. This equipment can evaluate the gathered data on-site thanks to the integration of edge computing, enabling quicker diagnostic and medical options with the need for massive data transmission to a centralized server. Making the most of the resources accessible without sacrificing monitoring efficiency is critical due to the constrained lifespan and resource availability that these intelligent devices still encounter. To make the most of the assets at hand and achieve excellent categorization performance, intelligence must be applied through a learning model. Making the most of the resources that are available without sacrificing performance monitoring is essential given the restricted lifespan and resource availability that these intelligent devices still suffer. A learning model must incorporate intelligence in order to maximize the utilization of resources while maintaining excellent classification performance. In this study, a unique Harris Hawks Optimized Long Short-Term Memory (HHO-LSTM) that categorizes Electrocardiogram (ECG) data without compromising optimum utilization of resources is proposed for Edge enabled WSN devices. We will train the model to correctly categorize various kinds of ECG readings by employing cutting-edge techniques and neural networks. Significant testing is carried out on fifty individuals utilizing real-time test chips with integrated controllers coupled to ECG sensors and NVIDIA Jetson Nano Boards as edge computing devices. To show the benefits of the suggested model, performance comparisons with various deep-learning techniques for peripheral equipment are conducted. Experiments show that in terms of classification results (98% accuracy) and processing expenses, the suggested model, which is based on Edge-enabled WSN devices, beat existing state-of-the-art learning algorithms. The ability of this technology to help medical personnel diagnose a range of heart issues would eventually enhance customer management.
