Authors: Phyu Swe Zin Linn
Published: March 2022

While women's rights are seen as human rights in Myanmar to a larger extent, this is not however true for women prisoners. This disregard of rights to women prisoners is because of administrative and legal hurdles. According to the 2008 Constitution though both men and women enjoy equal rights, nevertheless on the implementation level administration and laws, which are drawn from a mix of colonial and traditional sources, makes is practically difficult to realize the constitutional guarantee. This paper explores and reflects on the issues of women prisoners’ access to their basic health care rights from the human rights perspective.

Gravity Balancing Flexure Spring Mechanisms for Shoulder Support in Assistive Orthoses
Authors: Tschiersky Martin , Hekman Edsko E. G. , Herder Just L. , Brouwer Dannis M.
Published: March 2022

Passive shoulder supports show large potential for a wide range of applications, such as assisting activities of daily living and supporting work-related tasks. The rigid architectures of currently available devices, however, may pose an obstacle to finding designs that offer low protrusion and close-to-the-body alignment. This study explores the use of mechanisms that employ a flexible element which connects the supported arm to an attachment at the back and acts as energy storage, transmission and part of the load bearing structure. Based on the synthesis method explained in this paper, we conducted a large scope investigation into possible flexure-based mechanism topologies. Many potential designs were discovered and are presented, categorized and compared. Two promising designs were developed into prototypes that were built and tested on a dedicated test bench. These mechanisms reduce the necessary moment to lift the arm by more than 80 % throughout 85 % of the range of motion, while staying within 18 cm and 10 cm distance from the body, respectively. Our study indicates that, due to its lower protrusion and interface loads, a design with a tapered flexure connecting the upper arm via a hinge to a spring loaded slider at the back offers the most promising solution.
Reinforcement Learning in Quantitative Trading: A Survey
Authors: Alameer Ali , Saleh Haitham , Alshehri Khaled
Published: March 2022

Quantitative trading through automated systems has been vastly growing in recent years. The advancement in machine learning algorithms has pushed that growth even further, where their capability in extracting high-level patterns within financial markets data is evident. Nonetheless, trading with supervised machine learning can be challenging since the system learns to predict the price to minimize the error rather than optimize a financial performance measure. Reinforcement Learning (RL), a machine learning paradigm that intersects with optimal control theory, could bridge that divide since it is a goal-oriented learning system that could perform the two main trading steps, market analysis and making decisions to optimize a financial measure, without explicitly predicting the future price movement. This survey reviews quantitative trading under the different main RL methods. We first begin by describing the trading process and how it suits the RL framework, and we briefly discuss the historical aspect of RL inception. We then abundantly discuss RL preliminaries, including the Markov Decision Process elements and the main approaches of extracting optimal policies under the RL framework. After that, we review the literature of QT under both tabular and function approximation RL. Finally, we propose directions for future research predominantly driven by the still open challenges in implementing RL on QT applications.

BENEFICIAL INTERACTION BETWEEN ALGAE AND RHIZOBACTERIA IN THE CULTIVATION AND DEFENSE OF POTTED SUCCULENT PLANTS
Authors: Domenico Prisa
Published: March 2022

Research goal: The aim of this research was therefore to evaluate whether there are interactions in the growing medium in the simultaneous use of algae and beneficial microorganisms, to assess the possible improvement of flower quality and growth of succulent plants and the possible bioncontrol against pathogens present in the farm soils.
Materials and Methods: The experiments, started in March 2021, were conducted in the greenhouses of CREA-OF in Pescia (PT), Tuscany, Italy (43°54′N 10°41′E) on Aichryson punctatum, Lewisia cotyledon, Crassula sarcocaulis, Kalanchoe orgyalis. The experimental groups were: i) group control, irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; ii) group with algae irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; iii) group with beneficial bacteria irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; iv) group with algae and beneficial bacteria irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized.
Results and Discussion: The trial showed a significant improvement of agronomic parameters analyzed on plants of Aichryson punctatum, Lewisia cotyledon, Crassula sarcocaulis, Kalanchoe orgyalis treated with algae, bacteria and using a mixture of algae with bacteria. In particular, the trial showed that the use of algae and bacteria can increase plant height, number of leaves, vegetative, root and flower weight, and flower duration. In addition, the treatment with algae and microorganisms showed how the use of algae and bacteria can increase the protection from the attack on plants, of pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum. It is shown that the combined treatment algae plus microorganisms was significantly better than using the two treatments individually.
Conclusions: Scientific evidence confirms that the use of algae and microorganisms can play a particularly important role in improving the physical, chemical and microbiological quality of the soil and in biofertilization, biostimulation and plant protection.

Jornada de Agroecologia: estratégias e disputas na construção de um projeto ecológico para a agricultura no estado do Paraná
Authors: Pessoa Kauê , Brandenburg Alfio
Published: March 2022

Using decolonial thought and political ecology, in this text we present and analyze the main strategies promoted since the creation of the Jornada de Agroecologia and how they stimulated and helped guide the construction of an ecological plan for agriculture in the state of Paraná. We also highlight the main disputes between the proponents of opposing agricultural models that occurred during this period. The agroecological project emerged in 2001, opposing and offering an alternative to agribusiness, and was promoted collectively by multiple actors under the leadership of the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST), which is committed to agroecology and peasant agriculture in the state of Paraná. It quickly became established in the country as an environmental, social, and political movement guided by agroecology, and its most significant manifestation is the Jornada de Agroecologia. This event acts as a space for political and educational training in order to recover, develop, and promote knowledge as well as political, social, economic, cultural, and environmental practices among participants that value and promote agroecology and the peasantry while also questioning and refuting the agribusiness model. This text reveals the strategies and disputes with agribusiness sectors that took place in different regions of the state of Paraná.elocation-id: e2230105Received: 07.01.2021   •   Accepted: 02.18.2022   •   Published: 03.04.2022Original article  /  Blind peer review  /  Open access
Job satisfaction factors during an economic crisis. A systematic review
Authors: Gutiérrez Banegas Ana , Olivera Pérez Emmanuel , Bastida Escamilla Eduardo , Castillo Soto Manuel
Published: March 2022

To face an economic crisis, organizations implement recessive actions such as reducing salaries or personnel, affecting employee satisfaction and the organization's performance. Under this premise, the objective of this research is to present what exists in the literature on the repercussions of economic crises on job satisfaction. Several investigations indicate that job satisfaction is a key factor in employee retention and engagement; therefore, knowing the factors that influence this will allow the design of strategies to increase this perception in situations of economic instability. Through a systematic review, consisting of in-depth Reading of 36 articles, it is concluded that job satisfaction, in general, is not significantly affected by a period of economic crisis; however, there are certain aspects such as salary, work environments, types of contracts, cultural and gender differences that do influence this perception. The results of this research can become useful tools for companies as an aid to face the adverse effects of an economic crisis more efficiently by retaining suitable employees to achieve operational continuity of the organization.
Escala nominal como alternativa para la evaluación de la calidad del servicio : caso de estudio en Hotel Hacienda Bugambilias México
Authors: Urcádiz Cázares Francisco Javier , Monroy Ceseña Mauro Alejandro
Published: March 2022

La calidad de servicio comúnmente se mide con instrumentos que utilizan la escala de Likert correspondiente a una variable cualitativa (ordinal o nominal) que a su vez se le asociada a una cuantitativa (discreta o continua) como un aproximado para poder realizar operaciones y comparaciones, lo cual ha generado controversia sobre el manejo estadístico e interpretación de los datos. Sin embargo, es posible realizar un análisis basando solo en la escala nominal dejando a un lado la típica escala numérica y algunas controversias. En este trabajo se plantea la medición y comparación de la calidad del servicio en un hotel utilizando dos escalas de valoración diferentes: de intervalo numérico y nominal. La percepción de la calidad del servicio del hotel fue medida durante tres temporadas vacacionales y fue contrastada mediante pruebas de hipótesis no paramétricas para observar cambios significativos cuando se valora con escala de intervalo numérico y nominal. Los resultados muestran que la calidad del servicio entre temporadas vacacionales contrasta de acuerdo con el tipo de escala. La escala nominal reveló información que la de intervalo numérico no pudo mostrar, presentando algunas ventajas para la evaluación de la calidad del servicio.
Concepções de licenciandos sobre a relação ensino-aprendizagem e a existência de uma barreira tradicional a ser transposta
Authors: Silva Erick dos Santos
Published: March 2022

O trabalho apresenta uma investigação realizada ao longo de um semestre letivo com uma turma de licenciatura em matemática, revelando algumas concepções coletadas a partir de formulários aplicados e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Por meio das técnicas de análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 1977) verificamos que as metodologias preferidas pelos estudantes estão alinhadas a um paradigma tradicional. A pesquisa implementada é do tipo interpretativa (Erickson, 1986), onde a análise metodológica do caso é apresentada com densidade suficiente para as assertivas que são defendidas, que buscaram posicionar os alunos entre uma preferência por metodologias tradicionais ou ativas. Discutimos os resultados de nossa análise buscando situá-los no contexto em que a pesquisa foi desenvolvida, conectando-os, também, com discussões recentes levantadas na pesquisa em ensino de ciências e matemática sobre metodologias ativas e formação de professores.
A aula de Matemática a partir do discurso de estudantes com deficiência
Authors: LANDIM EVANILSON , MAIA LICIA DE SOUZA LEÃO , SOUSA WILMA PASTOR DE ANDRADE
Published: March 2022

À medida que estudantes de diferentes grupos chegam à escola vem à tona as fragilidades e dificuldades diante do desejo ainda utópico de uma escola para todas as pessoas. No caso do ensino de Matemática a situação parece mais frágil, dado o absolutismo que ainda impera nessa matéria. O fato é que a escola não tem sido capaz de alcançar a todos, sobretudo os membros das famílias de menor condição econômica, os negros, os moradores dos subúrbios e as pessoas com deficiência que nem sempre têm acesso a uma escola justa. Neste texto, analisamos como estudantes com deficiência percebem a aula de Matemática. Participaram da pesquisa 22 estudantes com diferentes deficiências: auditiva, física, intelectual, visual. Os resultados apontam que os participantes reivindicam uma escola justa, pensada para todos da classe e denunciam que as adaptações nas aulas de Matemática demonstram que o “jeitinho” é uma prática comum empregada pelo professor.

O crescente aumento da produção e publicação científica ocorridos nas últimas décadas, em parte por decorrência das mudanças na política de avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação estabelecidas pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), torna relevante a criação de critérios para as publicações com o propósito de evitar o mero produtivismo em detrimento de publicações que realmente impactem positivamente no avanço científico. Alguns desses critérios estão relacionados à disponibilização clara de informações sobre submissão por parte dos periódicos aos autores. Nesse sentido, o presente texto tem como objetivo analisar as características gerais e as informações disponibilizadas pelo editor no portal dos periódicos com ênfase em pesquisas no ensino de Matemática que possuem Qualis A1, A2 e B1 na área de Ensino, conforme a avaliação do período de 2013 a 2018. A análise das diretrizes apresentadas nos portais dos periódicos pesquisados sugere que as informações disponibilizadas são, em sua maioria, insuficientes, carecendo de detalhamento.
THE POWER AND THREATS TO THE SECURITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION'S EXPANSION
Authors: CHUDOBA Mateusz
Published: March 2022

W artykule przedstawiono ekspansyjne działania Federacji Rosyjskiej po 1991 r., ich wpływ na postrzeganie środowiska bezpieczeństwa przez Rzeczpospolitą Polską oraz wykonano analizę potęgi Polski, Rosji oraz wybranych państw Europy, których interesy mogą spowodować wzajemną antagonizację lub współpracę w jej wschodniej części. Należą do nich Ukraina, Niemcy, Szwecja, Finlandia i Turcja. Celem polityki Kremla jest zburzenie dotychczasowego porządku międzynarodowego, co powoduje wzrost napięcia w krajach ościennych, które czują się zagrożone, będąc potencjalnym obiektem kolejnej agresji. Wykonane badanie potęgi ukazało znaczącą dysproporcję siły pomiędzy Polską a Rosją na korzyść tej drugiej. W związku z tym, można postawić tezę, że polityka Federacji Rosyjskiej stanowi istotne zagrożenie dla interesów państwa polskiego, a dysproporcja potęg może być równoważona poprzez współpracę międzynarodową i zawiązywanie sojuszy wielo- lub bilateralnych z poszczególnymi podmiotami państwowymi. Celem artykułu jest potwierdzenie czy potęga potencjalnego sojuszu jest wystarczająca do przeciwdziałania polityce Kremla. Metodami badawczymi zastosowanymi w pracy są: obserwacja, badanie dokumentów oraz analiza i konstrukcja logiczna. Artykuł nawiązuje do paradygmatu Carla Jean’a, że geopolityka jest metodą rozumowania służącą konceptualizacji przestrzeni w wymiarach materialnych i niematerialnych, w celu poddania analizie sytuacji międzynarodowej oraz wyodrębnienia możliwości, celów i polityki jak również, koncepcji Roberta Kagana dotyczącej lekceważenia odradzającej się potęgi Rosji.

Predatory pricing policy in India is at crossroads with Jio becoming the largest player in the wireless telecommunication market and reducing the market to a triopoly. There is a need for the Competition Commission of India to reflect on its enforcement policy under Section 4 of the Indian Competition Act, 2002. The article starts by exploring the concept of predatory pricing and why it remains a contested concept. The second part of the paper argues the need for revisiting the dominance requirement to initiate an investigation under Section 26 read with Section 4 of the Indian Competition act by drawing inferences from US and France antitrust law. It shall discuss in detail the need for adopting an attempted monopolization benchmark for cases of predatory pricing. The third part proposes two thresholds (a) common market share and; (b) proof of exclusion, that the commission can adopt in order to differentiate legitimate promotional pricing from illegitimate predatory pricing. The article questions the major premises on which predatory pricing abuse can be invoked. It will be illustrated, that a non-dominant entity can achieve the same result of distorting competition as a dominant entity can, by predation. In particular, it will be argued that for an entity to commit predation, market power is not a prerequisite instead the commission must look at the effect in the market. Therefore, the Competition Commission of India is well advised to revisit the prerequisite of dominance for predatory pricing wrongs.

During the time when British ruled over India, Lord Macaulay played a pivotal role in framing the Educational Policy of India, in order to colonize the mind and soul of the Indians. Anita Desai in her novels brings out these type of Macaulay’s people who had fallen prey to the colonizer’s hidden agenda. This paper intends to focus on the colonial impact that continues to manifest itself among the nativesin myriad forms, even after seventy four years of freedom. As Homi K Bhaba rightly points out, the colonizers allure and influence the natives to mimic their lifestyle and way of life resulting in ambivalence and mimicry. This paper explores on this aspect, from Anita Desai’s novel titled, Fasting, Feasting, in which the head of the family, Papa is trained from his childhood to imitate the western way of life. Thereby he just lives a hypocritical dissatisfied life, which not only affects him but also the people around him and the society at large. The paper also explores Anita Desai’s portrayal of such ambivalent characters, through which she simultaneously highlights people who remained unpretentious and true to their tradition. The paper concludes byemphasising on the need to hold on to the roots of one’s tradition and celebrate the aura of authenticity that is in harmony with the native idiom in all its splendour.
UNDERSTANDING THE DIMENSIONS OF CREATIVE LEADERSHIP:
A STUDY AMONG SCHOOL PRINCIPALS IN BANGALORE
Authors: J Vivekanandda , L Palanethra
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the study is to understand the dimensions of creative leadership, develop a questionnaire for principals to measure creative leadership,and conduct a pilot study. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted to study among 88school principals from varioustypes of school management like government, private aided, and private schools from urban and rural Bangalore.
This study presents a framework for understanding creative leadership based on the previous review of the literature. The present research reveals a new perspective of understating creative leadership in terms of Personal Creativity Traits (PCT) and Professional Leadership Practice (PLP)among principals at the schoollevel. The personal creativity traits include risk-taking& learning from failure, originality of ideas,openness towards others’ ideas, and belief&value system. Professionalleadership includesfour practices which are discovering opportunities&problem solving, envisioning the future &inspiring a shared vision, enabling collaboration & strengthening the team, and encouraging the emotional connect in the team. The reliability and validity of the Creative Leadership Tool for Principals (CLTP)are also discussed. The finding of the studyindicates that there was no influence of the type of school management on certain aspects of Personal Creativity Traits (PCT) and Professional Leadership Practice (PLP). There is no significant difference in the urban and rural locations of Bangalore with certain aspects of Personal Creativity Traits (PCT) and all the subdomains of Professional Leadership Practice (PLP).

The primary aim of this study intends the perception of students towards online learning in the covid-19 pandemic period. The pandemic has changed the traditional concepts of the education system and broken the functions of the educational institutions. But, they give it an opportunity to change pedagogy. The research paper discussed the students’ opinions on online learning/virtual classroom learning. This study applied a qualitative approach and prepared a systematic questionnaire for data collection. The researcher collected the data from 258 students from different places in India and also, the disproportionate sampling used for data collection. The research mainly focused on the student’s perception, the comfort and discomfort of e-learning, using electronic devices for communication, the virtual learning is a pleasure or pressure to the students, the digital skills of the students and their active performance. The study revealed that over 50% of the students are having excellent knowledge of digital skills. The students are attending online classes through their personal computers or laptops and phones. The teachers are allowing the students to ask questions and clear the doubt of the students. The study found that the students are losing social interaction with teachers, friends and cannot access the library because of online classes. Finally, the students felt that online learning is a pressure instead of pleasure.
THE PREDICAMENT OF WOMEN FOR DELIVERANCE IN MAHASWETA DEVI'S MOTHER OF 1084
Authors: Joshi Jagdish S. , Hariyani Neha Arun
Published: March 2022

Literature is an intellectual mirror of the society which has always endeavoured to voice the voiceless. The recent trend and development in modern and postmodern Indian literature have tried to delve deep into the struggle of the deliverance of each individual and every household of the society. Among many issues, one of the foremost contemporary and burning issues is gender inequality in Indian society, poignantly expressed by renowned Bengali writer Mahashweta Devi in her most acclaimed novel Mother of 1084. The present paper focuses on the predicament of women and how women emancipate by breaking the shackles of "the weaker sex" who is inferior to their male counterparts. The paper attempts to highlight Sujata's predicament of deliverance from the male hegemonies by transforming her pain into the purpose of inspiration for all Indian women.

A novel, rapid and an accurate reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of emtricitabine and tenofovir related impurities namely emtricitabine s-oxide (emtricitabine impurity-A) and tenofovir (S)-propanol (tenofovir impurity-A), respectively in the combined pharmaceutical dosage form of emtricitabine, dolutegravir and tenofovir alafenamide. The separation was accomplished on Inertsil ODS C18 (250  4.6 mm, 5μ) column using 0.5 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer: acetonitrile (80: 20, v/v), pH 4.5 ± 0.1 maintained by 0.1 % o-phosphoric acid as mobile phase delivered at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Detection was carried out at 260 nm. Emtricitabine impurity-A and tenofovir impurity-A analytes were eluted at retention times of 10.5 and 16.6 min, respectively. The developed method was successfully validated for various parameters like system suitability, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, limit of detection and quantification in accordance with ICH guidelines. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.125-7.500 μg/ml for emtricitabine impurity-A and tenofovir impurity-A with correlation coefficients  0.998. The validated method was successfully applied for the simultaneous estimation of emtricitabine s-oxide (emtricitabine impurity-A) and tenofovir (S)-propanol (tenofovir impurity-A) in fixed-dose combination comprising of emtricitabine, dolutegravir and tenofovir alafenamide.
On the Spectral Evolution of Hot White Dwarf Stars. II. Time-dependent Simulations of Element Transport in Evolving White Dwarfs with STELUM

Published: March 2022

White dwarf stars are subject to various element transport mechanisms that can cause their surface composition to change radically as they cool, a phenomenon known as spectral evolution. In this paper, we undertake a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the spectral evolution of white dwarfs. First, we introduce STELUM, a new implementation of the stellar evolutionary code developed at the Université de Montréal. We provide a thorough description of the physical content and numerical techniques of the code, covering the treatment of both stellar evolution and chemical transport. Then, we present two state-of-the-art numerical simulations of element transport in evolving white dwarfs. Atomic diffusion, convective mixing, and mass loss are considered simultaneously as time-dependent diffusive processes and are fully coupled to the cooling. We first model the PG 1159−DO−DB−DQ evolutionary channel: a helium-, carbon-, and oxygen-rich PG 1159 star transforms into a pure-helium DB white dwarf due to gravitational settling and then into a helium-dominated, carbon-polluted DQ white dwarf through convective dredge-up. We also compute for the first time the full DO−DA−DC evolutionary channel: a helium-rich DO white dwarf harboring residual hydrogen becomes a pure-hydrogen DA star through the float-up process and then a helium-dominated, hydrogen-bearing DC star due to convective mixing. We demonstrate that our results are in excellent agreement with available empirical constraints. In particular, our DO−DA−DC simulation perfectly reproduces the lower branch of the bifurcation observed in the Gaia color–magnitude diagram, which can therefore be interpreted as a signature of spectral evolution.
