Authors: Sugiharto Sugiharto , Yudiarti Turrini , Widiastuti Endang
Published: October 2022

Objective: This study assessed the impact of fermented Averrhoa bilimbi fruit filtrate (FF) on growth, gut morphology, and meat traits of high-stocked broilers.
Materials and Methods: A 2 × 2 factorial trial with stocking densities (9 or 18 birds/m2) and drinking 2% FF or plain water was conducted using 378 14-day-old broiler chicks. On day 35, samples were obtained and analyzed.
Results: FF improved feed efficiency and income over the feed cost of high-stocked broilers by about 7.63% and 10%, respectively, compared to high-stocked broilers receiving only water. FF decreased duodenal crypt depth and meat water-holding capacity. Meats from high-stocked broil¬ers receiving FF showed lower cholesterol than other meats. Lower cholesterol/high-density lipo¬protein (HDL) and higher HDL/low-density lipoprotein were found in meats from broilers receiving FF. Total unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) was higher in meats of high-stocked broilers receiving FF than others. The UFA/saturated fatty acid was lower in meats of high-stocked broilers receiving plain water. High-stocked broilers given FF had higher meat n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). FF enhanced meat n-6 PUFA levels. The n-3/n-6 PUFA increased with high density and drinking FF.
Conclusion: Drinking FF improved gut morphology and meat qualities of broilers housed in high-density pens. FF may be an excellent alternative to improve the growth and meat qualities of broilers raised in high-density houses.

Authors: Varghese Meera , K Prathibha , R Saju , P Jini
Published: October 2022

Background: The World Health Organization had proclaimed the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a worldwide pandemic on March 11, 2020. Immunization against the disease was the need of the hour to curtail the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. Two vaccines manufactured in India were approved for emergency use authorization initially. They are ChAdox1CoV-19 vaccine – CoviShield and Covaxin.

Aims and objectives: This study aimed at assessing the occurrence of adverse effects following immunization (AEFI) among individuals who received the CoviShield vaccine. The objective of this research was to evaluate the type of AEFI among vaccinated beneficiaries and to determine the factors contributing to the development of AEFI.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done at a teaching hospital in Kerala. All beneficiaries who were administered CoviShield vaccine during the study period, that is, from January 2021 to June 2022 were incorporated in the study. Data regarding AEFI were collected from all vaccinated individuals by direct or telephonic enquiry.

Results: The incidence rate of AEFI is 4.5/1000 doses (111/24925 doses). The reporting of AEFI was high among age group of 20–30 years and commonly seen in males (97.3%). The most common AEFI reported with CoviShield vaccine was fever (63%), myalgia (51%), and headache (40%). AEFI was seen commonly after administration of first dose (94%). Only 7 cases (6.3%) of serious AEFI were reported which included death, autoimmune encephalitis, Bell’s palsy, hypotension, and hypersensitivity reactions. There was no significant association between age and type of AEFI (P > 0.05) and dose of vaccine and type of AEFI (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: The immunization with CoviShield vaccine is safe among adults (>18 years) with lesser incidence of serious adverse effects. Higher incidence of AEFI is witnessed after administration of first dose and it was commonly seen in males.
A study to compare fibrinolytic therapy versus primary percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: M Anupama , JV Sharath , GG Shetty
Published: October 2022

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most dramatic manifestation of coronary artery disease, acute STEMI is a clinical syndrome defined by characteristic symptoms of myocardial ischemia in association with persistent electrocardiographic ST elevation and subsequent release of biomarkers of myocardial necrosis. Reperfusion with thrombolysis or PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is the current standard of care for STEMI.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of fibrinolytic therapy and primary PCI which are the available reperfusion strategies for STEMI.

Materials and Methods: This prospective and observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Bangalore. Patients presenting with STEMI to emergency department were treated with either fibrinolysis or PCI as per protocol. Patients in each arm were followed up to know the differences in outcome at discharge and 30-day follow-up.

Results: Patients admitted with STEMI had overall in hospital mortality of 17 (7.1%) patients, of which 9 (7.6%) patients were from fibrinolysis group and 8 (6.6%) patients from PCI group with no statistically significant difference (P = 0.760). There was significant incidence (P = 0.001) of reinfarct in fibrinolysis group (9.3%) when compared to PCI group (0%).

Conclusion: There was no statistically significant mortality difference at discharge and at 30 day between fibrinolysis and primary PCI in patients with STEMI in our study, this may be attributed to use of rescue PCI in failed fibrinolysis patients and early tricuspid valve repair in many patients after fibrinolysis.

The Impact of 2022 Russia-Ukraine Conflict on the Financial Market: Evidence from China
Authors: Xue Bingning
Published: October 2022

This paper concerns the effect of the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict on the Chinese stock market. The event has caused chain reactions on a global scale, among which the soaring energy prices caught the most attention for having the most significant influence. Using the international crude oil futures’ settlement prices and two market indexes as indicators of energy prices and Chinese stock market performance, this paper mainly focuses on their changes before and after Russia-Ukraine War. The data covers the period from 25 November 2021 to 14 April 2022, and time series analysis methods, including the Vector autoregression (VAR) model and ARMA-GARCH model, are used in the analysis process. Also, this paper conducts impulse response to examine the impact of one unit oil price change on the Chinese stock market index over time. As a result, a significant correlation between the upsurge in the energy prices and the downtrend of Chinese stock market performance can be found after the breakout of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, suggesting that international incidents can cause global turmoil. Nevertheless, for a mature market with good resilience, the influence of the strike would gradually evaded.

Experiences of Chinese international students living in Australia: Wellbeing from "we" to "me"
Authors: Huang Lanxi , Kern Margaret L. , Oades Lindsay G.
Published: October 2022

Whilst there is evidence of subjective wellbeing being related to academic success, good performance within and beyond university, degree attainment, and positive subsequent physical, mental, economic, and social outcomes in the university student population, less is known on how different student populations perceive, experience, and cultivate wellbeing. The current study explored the perspectives and experiences of one such population: Chinese international students at several universities across Australia. Semi-structured interviews with 30 students indicated that participants mainly experienced wellbeing through experiences of competence, feeling supported by family and friends, low levels of pressure, and giving to others. Almost half of the participants believed that people around them had low wellbeing. Students indicated drawing upon intrapersonal activities as the primary pathway to support their own wellbeing, whereas they pointed to interpersonal activities to support other’s wellbeing. The findings show the mismatch between students’ wellbeing experiences and pathways, shed light on understanding students’ wellbeing in the higher education context, and identify some of the contextual and cultural factors that contribute to wellbeing experiences and pathways. Implications for interculturally nuanced approaches to understanding and supporting wellbeing are considered
Shared Value of the Democratic Movement and the Unification Movement: Post-Cold War Nationalist Unity
Authors:   The Institute for Democratization Movement Research, Lim Jonghee
Published: October 2022

In the 2020s, the Korean Peninsula seems to have further alienated its desire for peaceful reunification due to the North Korean nuclear threat that has continued for the past 20 years.
However, clues can be found to solve this crisis in the history of the last democratization movements, which have always pursued a unification movement with the change of dictatorship. This paper examines the nationalist ideal that has always accompanied Korea's democratization efforts, identifies the connection between the democratization movement and the unification movement, and presents contemporarily significant points based on the results. For the purpose of this study, the researcher introduces the traditional security view that has relied on military power by considering the South Korean people's sense of unification in the midst of the North Korean nuclear crisis in the 2020s and the realist opinion that leads the cause and feasibility of unification on economical terms. In addition, this research examines the pattern of the post-Cold War nationalist integration spirit that appeared in the unification movement process after the democratization movement, and highlights the connection point of the two major movements and their value of the time. This study has found that students and citizens who participated in the pro-democracy movement argued for nationalistic ideals against foreign intervention while resisting the authoritarian government's suppression of the pro-democracy movement in the name of the US-backed anti-communist line. This research is significant in that it emphasizes that continuous democracy practice is a key element of security in addition to military power by linking the two major movements ideologically.
Business Political Oligarchy’s Involvement and the State’s Role in Exporting Lobster Seeds
Authors: Bena Yintrosius
Published: October 2022

Background: The monopoly on freight forwarding services, the monopoly on lobster seed export permits, the evidence of corruption cases that indicted Edhy Prabowo, and the involvement of a string of Gerindra public policy party officials in the case are all symptoms of business political oligarch involvement, which can be seen from the extreme forces concentrated into several hands undermining public policy.
Aim: The researcher was interested in the role played by oligarchs and the state in the permitting of the export of lobster seed under President Joko Widodo's administration, as well as the state's capacity to exert control over oligarchs.
Method: This study uses qualitative research with primary and secondary data sources using the interview method. This thesis is based on an analysis of the theory of the state and power, public policy and oligarchy.
Findings: The extreme pressures concentrated into a few hands corrupting public policy can be observed as the involvement of business and political oligarchs in the case of lobster seed export approvals. Oligarchs are affected if money power creates a beneficial distortion for the select few who utilize their wealth to get results. Additionally, if everything is settled and paid for with money, oligarchy power is being displayed.
The Effect of Gender-Specific Instruction on Enhancing Student Learning according to Educators’ Perceptions
Authors: Hill Geraldine N.
Published: October 2022

This study aims to allow educators to give their opinions, perceptions, and interest level regarding gender-specific education in the public-school setting. The researcher drew participants from the school district treating it as a sample. The school district serves a diverse population of 6,233 students with varied socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities. Fifty-four percent of the students received free or reduced-price lunches. Approximately 49% of the students were African American, 47% Caucasian, and 4% other, consisting of a mixture of Asian, Hispanic, and other nationalities.

The demographics for the 157 participants in the current research were as follows: 57 elementary educators, and 100 secondary educators. Of this sample, twenty-five were men and 132 were women, with an age range of 24-64. A questionnaire was designed consisting of four research questions to address teachers' perceptions regarding the implementation of gender-specific education. The researcher employed two different surveys, one specifically to gather data about boys and another to acquire data about girls. A school district in the southeast United States was chosen to garner K-12 educators' perceptions. The Gender-Specific Education survey was used to collect data from all teachers in the district and is composed of two parts: the first part of the survey ascertains demographic information, while the second part utilizes a five-point Likert scale that addresses teacher's perceptions, opinions, and level of interest regarding the implementation of gender-specific education.

The researcher performed all data analysis using (SPSS) Statistical Software for the Social Sciences version 19. Frequency statistics were performed on the survey instruments, with percentile values. The researcher calculated the dispersion using standard deviation, variance, and mode while noting minimums and maximums. The researcher performed a distribution analysis of skewness and kurtosis, while all results were displayed in pie charts on percentage values. Finally, the order of frequency was noted and in ascending values, with the multiple variables organized by variable numbered output.

The findings suggested that: (a) participants perceived gender-specific classes as being positive for male students, (b) the number of neutral responses indicated the lack of knowledge about the effects and outcomes of students in gender-specific settings, (c) participants at the secondary level would consider working in a gender-specific setting.

Although this research study resulted in neutral teacher responses and yielded non-significant results, this study will serve to provide a basis for the implementation of other studies and to help policymakers in this school district to provide staff development on gender-specific strategies to the staff currently teaching gender-specific classes.
Functional Surface Layer Strengthening and Wear Resistance Increasing of a Low Carbon Steel by Electrolytic-Plasma Processing
Authors: Kombayev Kuat , Muzdybayev Murat , Muzdybayeva Alfiya , Myrzabekova Dinara , Wieleba Wojciech , Leśniewski Tadeusz
Published: October 2022

The modified technology for strengthening the surface layer of low-carbon steel for machine components by electroplasma processing is proposed. This technology is to be used as an alternative carburizing method with subsequent hardening. The developed technology of strengthening by the proposed method is based on the author’s invention. The parameters of this process are given, resulting in a thickness of the reinforced surface layer of 1000 µm to 1700 µm. An increase in microhardness of 1.5 to 2 times (compared to the initial state) was observed. With hardening, chemical modification of the material’s surface layer occurs. The microstructure of the treated surface of the steel samples is characterised by a dark modified surface layer: a fine needle-like structure of martensitic origin under the dark layer transforms into an initial perlite-ferritic structure. The advantage of strengthening based on the electrolytic plasma processing consists of low energy consumption at high hardening speeds and the possibility of local processing of surface areas, especially large parts of complex shapes. In addition, the proposed surface treatment method using electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) not only achieves a smooth surface but also improves the service qualities of the components, specifically wear resistance.
Operational and Environmental Comparison of Two Felling and Piling Alternatives for Whole Tree Harvesting in Quercus Coppices for Bioenergy Use
Authors: Tolosana Eduardo , Laina Rubén , Spinelli Raffaele , Aminti Giovanni , López-Vicens Ignacio
Published: October 2022

Coppices are a major potential source of forest biomass in Spain, where they occupy around 4M ha. Quercus coppices are mostly neglected because of their high harvesting costs and the small size of their products. This makes them very interesting to test and compare alternative means for utilizing their resources in an optimized way. Hence, a comparative study of motor-manual and mechanized felling and bunching was conducted when thinning dense coppice stands of the two most important oak species in Spain to obtain biomass for bioenergy use. In particular, the study matched chainsaw felling and manual piling against the work of a drive-to-tree feller-buncher previously analyzed in the very same sites. Productivity functions for motor-manual felling and piling were fitted for each species. The derived unit cost functions show that the felling-bunching costs are lower for the motor-manual option in stands of both species, particularly for the smaller tree sizes. Nevertheless, when the strongly reduced loading times in forwarding associated to the mechanization are taken into account, the total harvesting cost is often lower for the mechanized option. That is true for all tree sizes of Q. ilex, and for trees larger than 13 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) for Q. pyrenaica. Residual stand damage was low to moderate, but always significantly greater for the mechanized option compared with the motormanual one. Soil damage was very low for both alternatives. The stumps experimented significantly greater damages in the mechanized felling and bunching, but further research is needed to determine if those damages have any impact on stump mortality, sprouting capability and future plants vigor. The greater productivity and level of tree damages found in Q. ilex when compared to Q. pyrenaica are likely due to the narrower and lighter crown of the latter.

Published: October 2022

In terms of engineering standards, the dimensions of hydraulic structures such as culverts on forest roads should have the capability to drain the expected maximum discharge for a 50-year return period during their lifespan (i.e., 20 years). In Turkey, Talbot’s formula, as empirical method, has commonly been used in determining the required cross-sectional area (CSA) of the structures. However, in practice, forest road engineers in Turkey do not pay enough attention to their construction with required dimensions calculated by Talbot’s formula. In the present study, the Hydrological Engineering Centre – River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) model was used to evaluate the dimensions of installed structures in terms of their ability to drain maximum discharges, with the aim of determining the required dimensions for those that could not meet this requirement. To this purpose, the 6+000 km forest road No. 410 in Acısu Forest Enterprise, Gerede Forest Directorate (Bolu, Turkey) was selected as the study area. In total, 15 small watersheds crossed by the forest road were delineated, with only six of them having cross-drainage structures. The HEC-RAS model geometry was generated by manual unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flights at altitudes of 5–15 m, providing very high spatial resolution (<1 cm). The maximum discharges of the watersheds were estimated for the HEC-RAS model using the Rational, Kürsteiner, and Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) methods. Maximum discharges of 0.18–6.03 were found for the Rational method, 0.45–4.46 for the Kürsteiner method, and 0.25–7.97 for the SCS-CN method. According to the HEC-RAS hydraulic model CSA simulations, most of the installed culvert CSAs calculated by Talbot’s formula were found to be incapable of draining maximum discharges. The study concluded that the HEC-RAS model can provide accurate and reliable results for determining the dimensions of such structures for forest roads.
Role of Microfinance in Entrepreneurial Development of Women in India
Authors: Imam Yasar , Khan Prof. Anwar Khurshid
Published: October 2022

Today, one of the most widely debated topics in the world is disparity in global wealth and access to social services. Within the new economy, microfinance is becoming a more powerful tool for poverty alleviation. The bulk of microfinance programs were established with the explicit objective of alleviating poverty and empowering individuals of the country. Furthermore, a rising number of microfinance institutions (MFIs) prefer to work with promising entrepreneurs with unique business ideas because they believe they are more responsible and trustworthy. Programs such as the Self Help Bank Linkage Program in India have been steadily gaining popularity due to their beneficial economic impact and the assumption that they help women to become more self-sufficient. So far, the SHG Program has delivered microfinance to its mostly female participants using a new form of group saving and lending. According to the research, investing in women has been proved to be the most effective way to increase family health, nutrition, hygiene, and educational levels, and hence the entire society. Thus, it is vital to provide additional support for women in both financial and non-financial services. A large number of top public and private sector banks are launching programs specifically aimed to assist women in starting their own businesses. In recent years, even the unorganized sector has begun to participate in the microfinance movement. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of microfinance as a tool for boosting women entrepreneurship in India.

Covid-19 Pandemic: Assessment Of Its Impact And Insurability Of Pandemic Risks In The Nigerian Insurance Business.
Authors: Johncally Abere Omotayo , Shafau Saka Toyin
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Coronavirus is a virus whose genome consists of a single strand of ribonucleic acid. The timing and the global environment (China) which COVID-19 originated from has made its spread faster than expected because China had 739 international air travel routes and 51 million people used to travel between China and other countries before the disease outbreak. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the impacts and the mortality rate of this deadly disease in order to consider its insurability.
Objective: The specific objective of this research is to analytically examine factors affecting the insurability of pandemic risks in the Nigerian insurance business within specified time frame.
Data and Methods: Different methods/strategies of investigations were conceived to gather data/materials related to the study in order to have comprehensive knowledge on the subject matter. The two statistical tools used are descriptive and inferential. Kaplan Meier Model was used to carry out the hazard estimate based on the computation arrived at using Microsoft Excel package. This study analysed 167 467 cases reported/observed within seventeen (17) months in Nigeria (Feb 2020-June 2021).
Setting: The geographical location of this research is global. It is not limited to Nigeria alone but special attention was paid to cases in Nigeria to consider insurability of pandemic risks by the Nigerian insurers.
Result: 0.5 connotes equal chance of death and survival. As the value moves closer to 1 from 0.5, the probability risk of death is becoming more certain and vice versa. It is clear from the analysis that as months passed by, the estimated figures began to increase showing that more deaths were being recorded.
Conclusion: The lockdown and other safety measures adopted to fight COVID-19 disrupted economic recovery, affected financial markets/services and in turn increased insurance claims. The pandemic impacts on the global insurance markets have been largely affected as a result of weaker premium growth prospects, capital market volatility, asset risks and so on. In time of crisis, losses come as well as opportunities. This study suggested how identified negative impacts of COVID-19 could be minimized while strategising to maximize the opportunities therein. It also showed analytically how high mortality risk poses threat to insurability of pandemic risks

The need for a multi-pollutant approach to model the movement of pollutants in surfacewater: A review of status and future challenges
Authors: Wali Saadu Umar
Published: October 2022

Significant research on surface water pollution modelling has been carried out over diverse landscapes has sought to explain the sources, transport, and surface water pollution. To date, surface water pollution studies have focused on nutrients, plastics, and chemicals. Consequently, the current review aims to identify and synthesise peer-reviewed literature about integrated contaminants modelling in surface water. Thus, highlighting that modelling potentially multiple sources of a pollutant from the surface water has remained a thought-provoking topic. Studies differed significantly in terms of the type of model application and procedures for reporting findings, making it challenging to separate clear trends and patterns. Accordingly, most studies agree that pollutants such as plastics and agrochemicals can have adverse consequences on surface water quality; these coincide with difficulties in modelling pollutant transport. Consequently, no regional or global estimates are available for the water pollution burden of flood-related pollution, considering the demonstrable modelling techniques, the significance of the concurrent impacts of surface water pollution by contaminants. Multi-pollutant approaches to modelling the potential sources of pollution and encourage protective behaviour are essential. Mainstreaming freshwater pollution concerns into planning strategies will also be needed to lessen anthropological contribution to surface water pollution. While the implementation of these models is constrained by lack of adequate field data, the model output must be analysed within the model inputs' uncertainty, data limitations and methodologically established surface water modelling principles from the literature.

The Curious Case of Article IX and Outer Space Environment
Authors: Gupta Biswanath , Agasti Tamoghna
Published: October 2022

With the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, back in 1957, to life on Earth being socio-economically dependent on space technologies, we have come a very long way and with this comes several problems, one being extra-terrestrial pollution. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty has only one provision – Article IX – which merely puts an obligation to avoid ‘harmful contamination’ of outer space. There is nothing in the treaty or elsewhere to suggest the meaning of this term and the extent of protection offered by Article IX, thereby creating a lacuna. The article tries to evaluate whether the interpretation of the term ‘harmful contamination’ has evolved to envisages the implementation of the international environmental law regime for a holistic protection of the outer space environment.
In this context, the meaning of ‘harmful contamination’ is analysed as intended by the drafters to highlight the shortcomings. Taking into account the evolving international environmental and space law jurisprudence, the article analyses whether the shortcomings can be addressed by harmoniously interpreting Article IX with the existing environmental law regime. Different tools of treaty interpretation are used to examine the evolving interpretation of the term ‘harmful contamination’ to provide an insight into what the lex ferenda be vis-à-vis application of Article IX in the protection of outer space environment.

A historical analysis of the communication, education and environment relationship is presented, through the variables Scenarios, Perspectives, Representations, Illusion and Reality, adapted from the scenic configuration and applied as denominators of the articulations between the three fields. The research is qualitative and descriptive. Documentary research and content analysis were used as a method. The constitution of three Scenarios and four kinds of Representations were identified: dependent, eventual, convergent and integral. It is concluded that the conceptions of development have directed the Perspectives of the fields and each Scenario has taken two guidelines, one supported in the construction of an official discourse, directed and based on illusion and another alternative, product of emerging positions that defend and they face the reality of the environmental dimension and its relationship with the human being.
