Authors:   Univeristy of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, St. Augustine, FL, Herrington Amy
Published: April 2022

At the study site for this research, Interprofessional Education taught in distance learning courses can be challenging for faculty, impacting student engagement, motivation, and success. A qualitative case study was conducted with students to explore participant perceptions of their engagement following their participation in a virtual synchronous immersive experience. The study took place during four consecutive semesters beginning in the Spring 2019 term. Participants at the study site are learning in a healthcare strategic planning course class that focuses on interprofessional collaboration as a basis of health strategy. Data was collected using open-ended questionnaires to determine students’ online versus face-to-face immersive learning experiences. Findings suggest that due to their engagement experiences, participation in a virtual Immersive Learning Simulation experience may be a viable substitute for the traditional face-to-face learning experiences. After the Immersive Learning experience, participating students and the healthcare experts were asked to respond to a questionnaire to assess their perceptions of the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities offered by the online immersive event. This research study offers new information about students’ and healthcare experts’ perceptions of an online immersive IPE experience while identifying possible strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.

In the COVID-19 pandemic era ventilator become necessary thing to treat Covid patient especially for worst cases patient. With increasing in people who infected by COVID-19 around the world and also in Indonesia, caused the demand of the ventilator system also increased significantly. In Indonesia many research institution and universities have been initiated to develop the emergency ventilator to support the increasing demand. Some companies in Indonesia initiate to develop the component of the lung ventilator to support other research institution therefore to minimize dependency from import product which is in the pandemic era the component such as flow meter and blower fan is difficult to get caused by stock limitation. In this paper we expose the process on development of three essential component part of the lung ventilator, i.e., respiratory flow meter (RFM), respiratory blower fan (RBF), and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve. The development of these components is using a standard design procedure and utilized with some design software for obtaining the optimum design result.

Published: April 2022

The outbreak of Covid-19 disease has caused issues in public health, and its impact has grown in population with non-communicable diseases like diabetes, a life-threatening condition, worldwide. Individuals in low-income countries with limited diagnosis and monitoring systems require continuous and regular blood glucose monitoring. Invasive or minimally invasive blood glucose monitoring has been utilised with good accuracy but a high risk of infections and complications. Non-invasive monitoring technology is critical and recommended worldwide, with the potential of improving safety and reducing workload in blood glucose control. The design, development, and evaluation analysis of a non-invasive GSM (Glucose Screening Measurement) module glucometer using near-infrared sensors at 1550nm wavelength as an emitter, transmitting through the fingertip and the ATMega38 microcontroller as the controller to determine the glucose level in human blood are presented in this study. A total of forty individuals were recruited in the investigation. Repeatability, validity, and reliability were evaluated using the Bland and Altman Analysis, the concurrent validity, and the reliability analysis. Passing and Boblok Regression Analysis was used to assess the statistical significance further. Repeatability showed no significant difference with a 95% confidence interval and 0.6895 bias. The linear relationship showed 99.72% agreement and 99.9% reliability using regression analysis. This study revealed that using a non-invasive GSM module glucometer to measure blood glucose effectively enhances patient surveillance in diabetes insulin treatment.

Authors: Danjuma Muktar Umar , Yusuf Bashir , Yusuf Ibrahim
Published: April 2022

This paper dealt with the evaluation reliability, availability, maintainability, dependability, mean time between failures, and mean time to failure of series-parallel system. The system under investigation has four subsystems, namely subsystem A containing two units in cold standby, subsystem B and C possess one unit each, and subsystem D has two units in cold standby. Through the transition diagram of each subsystem and the Markov birth–death process, Chapman Kolmogorov forward equations are derived. Both failure and repair rates of units in each subsystem are assumed to follow exponential distribution. The objective is to derive the corresponding reliability models of dependability, availability, maintainability, and reliability and capture the effect of system parameters on reliability, availability, maintainability, and dependability and to determine the critical subsystems. On the basis of numerical results obtained, the system’s performance has been evaluated. Moreover, the outcome of this study shows that the ideal system reliability can be achieved when the overall system failure rate is low and the supporting units are activated.

Utjecaj dobrog upravljanja na povećanje zadovoljstva građana uslugama javnog sektora / Good Governance Impact on Increasement of Citizen Satisfaction with Public Sector Services
Authors: Šašić Đevad , Tanović Merima , Delić Amel
Published: April 2022

Contemporary activities of both private and public sector enacts new methods and principles in terms of adapting to everyday market changes. Public sector organizations, including local self-government institutions, are challenged with new demands that are not always easily achieved. At such a time, the application of contemporary managerial concepts, such as New Public Management and Good Governance, are crucial for the efficiency and effectiveness of the public sector organizations. In transitional countries, and especially those that are candidates for accession to the European Union, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most demanding criterion is public administration reform. That reform includes improvement of organizational and functional efficiency and effectiveness, reorganizing public administration from the state level to local self-government level, and improvement of public services. In this regard, the paper focuses on research of the efficiency of the public sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the countries of the Western Balkans, with focus on citizen satisfaction with certain public sector services. Citizen satisfaction with public services and public institutions can be considered as a direct outcome of government’s policy and activities. Also, citizen satisfaction survey results can reveal a lot on the issues of how governments function, both in terms of citizen actual experiences and their expectations. The paper presents the results of Western Balkans countries compared with the results of European Union countries in terms of health services, education, ease of doing business and e-government. Western Balkans countries do not have a sufficiently developed system for monitoring the satisfaction of public service users and harmonizing reform measures, and also they have not developed well a system of functional cooperation with private and civil sectors in order to improve the quality of public services and citizen satisfaction.

Published: April 2022

Goals of governments are usually formulated in the form of public policies, and legislation is an instrument by which political visions and goals are achieved. The creation of new legislation inevitably produces costs and benefits for those to whom the legislation applies as well as for society as a whole. In an effort to make new legislation more cost-effective, governments use a variety of tools to improve the quality of regulations and other acts. Governments that apply various tools to improve the quality of legislation  implement the principles of "smart" legislation (better regulation, smart regulation). In such a state of affairs, how can we constructively, using digital tools and procedures when establishing companies via the Internet, ensure simpler, faster and more time and cost-effective starting of economic activity? Is better regulation the result of good legislative instruments and procedures that enable high quality legislation and the rule of law? How will the use of digital tools and procedures in company law bring economic and social benefits to society as a whole? The aim of this paper is to show that by adopting the Directive on the use of digital tools and procedures in company law (2019/1151), the European Union is taking further steps to digitize and modernize company law as a whole, and thus achieve what is at the heart of the European Commission. it is better regulation.

Authors: Prasaningtyas Asri , Sulistyo Joko
Published: April 2022

Currently  Perum Perhutani has  conducted  efforts  to  improve  the   productivity  of  teak  forest  by   provenance  trial. However, only a few  studies have so  far considered the  variation of these main  fuel  properties of wood under the  influence of external factors such as location and provenance. On the  other side, the  huge amount of waste was regularly generated from primary  and secondary  wood processings.  Therefore, in  this  research, the  calorific  value  and other fuel  properties  were investigated and related to provenance and growth site. This research used the  stem wood and bark of five provenances (1 to 5) of teaks that  were planted at  three sites  of Perhutani stand (Bojonegoro, Ngawi, Ciamis). The fuel  characterisctics of bark were only evaluated  at  Ciamis  site.  Compared  to  bark, wood generally had lower values  in  ash content, volatile  matter content, and density,  but  had higher values in fixed  carbon content, calorific  value, and Fuelwood Value Index levels. The caloric  values of  teak  wood and  bark were 4,191~4,520 cal/g  and 3,545~3,939 cal/g,  respectively.  Provenance and site interaction had significant effect to the ash content, density, and calorific value in wood. The samples from  Ciamis site (code Ft) had the  highest level  in  calorific  value. However, the  relation  between calorific  value and density  is  not  clear in  this experiment. With regard to bark, provenance 3 (Ft) showed the  best energy properties.

Published: April 2022

Currently, a large amount of oil palm shell has been dumped as waste from  palm oil processing  in Indonesia.  Using  a low  concentration  of  zinc   chloride  (ZnCl2),  thermal treatment during  pre-carbonization  was applied  in  the  preparation  of activated carbon from  oil palm shells at various temperatures and reaction durations. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the   physical  and chemical  characteristics  of  activated  carbon  prepared.  Oil palm  shells  collected  from   a plantation  in Palembang were carbonized by  two methods, one-stage carbonization (at 300°C for 3 hours) and two-stage carbonization (at 300°C for 3 hours, then  at  600°C for an  hour)  before chemical activation using ZnCl2, at  a concentration of 10  and 15%wt. Activation of oil palm shell charcoal was conducted at  600,  700,  and 800°C and reaction times  of 60,  120,  and 180  minutes. The results showed two-stage carbonization, high  temperature, and prolonged reaction time is bound to increase burn-off as well  as methylene blue adsorption, and decrease the  yield and volatile matter content of  the  activated carbon prepared. Meanwhile, high  ZnCl2  concentration increased the  ash content and the  methylene blue adsorption. In addition, the  two-stage carbonization  had higher iodine  adsorption  compared to the  one-stage  carbonization.  The activated  carbon with  high  iodine (769.3 mg/g) and methylene blue adsorption (133.7 mL/g) levels was obtained by  two-stage carbonization using 15%wt ZnCl2 at a temperature and reaction time of 800°C and 180 minutes, respectively.

The learning experience for exams is one that all students go through and that each time involves intense feelings and inner states with deep meanings and consequences for student life. Through this study we tried to get into the middle of the experience that high school students go through in terms of intrinsic motivation. We therefore propose an adaptation for the Romanian school environment of the IMI (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) questionnaire, which is an integral part of the Self-Determination Theory, the variant related to fulfilling a task, with the help of which we want to obtain an image of how it is felt. to students the issue of exams to complete the school year (tests, theses, national assessment). The availability of effort and its internalization by students, the students' interest in learning for exams, the learning decision, but also the tension accumulated after the effort required to learn for exams are analyzed by specific items - to list some of the research directions considered. The final result is the determination of the degree of intrinsic motivation of the selected students in relation to the evaluation they have to go through at the end of the school year in the summer of 2021.
Deep learning for statistical downscaling of sea states
Authors: Michel Marceau , Obakrim Said , Raillard Nicolas , Ailliot Pierre , Monbet Valérie
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Numerous marine applications require the prediction of
medium- and long-term sea states. Climate models are mainly focused on the description of the atmosphere and global ocean variables, most often on a synoptic scale. Downscaling models exist to move from these atmospheric variables to the integral descriptors of the surface state; however, they are most often complex numerical models based on physics equations that entail significant computational costs. Statistical downscaling models
provide an alternative to these models by constructing an empirical relationship between large-scale atmospheric variables and local variables, using historical data. Among the existing methods, deep learning methods are attracting increasing interest because of their ability to build hierarchical representations of features. To our knowledge, these models have not yet been tested in the case of sea state downscaling. In this study, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-type model for the prediction of significant wave height from wind fields in the Bay of Biscay is presented. The performance of this model is evaluated at several points and compared to other statistical downscaling methods and to WAVEWATCH III hindcast databases. The results obtained from
these different stations show that the proposed method is suitable for predicting sea states. The observed performances are superior to those of the other statistical downscaling methods studied but remain inferior to those of the physical models. The low computational cost and the ease of implementation are, however, important assets for this method.
Metamorphism of Arctic marine snow during the melt season. Impact on spectral albedo and radiative fluxes through snow
Authors: Vérin Gauthier , Domine Florent , Babin Marcel , Picard Ghislain , Arnaud Laurent
Published: April 2022

Abstract. The energy budget of Arctic sea ice is strongly affected by the snow cover. Intensive sampling of snow properties was conducted near Qikiqtarjuak in Baffin Bay on typical landfast sea ice during two melt seasons in 2015 and 2016. The sampling included stratigraphy, vertical profiles of snow specific surface area (SSA), density and irradiance, and spectral albedo (300–1100 nm). Both years featured four main phases: I) dry snow cover, II) surface melting, III) ripe snowpack and IV) melt pond formation. Each phase was characterized by distinctive physical and optical properties. A high SSA value of 49.3 m2 kg-1 was measured during phase I on surface wind slabs together with a corresponding broadband albedo of 0.87. Phase II was marked by alternating episodes of surface melting which dramatically decreased the SSA below 3 m2 kg-1 and episodes of snowfall reestablishing pre-melt conditions. Albedo was highly time-variable with minimum values at 1000 nm around 0.45. In Phase III, continued melting led to a fully ripe snowpack composed of clustered rounded grains. Albedo began to decrease in the visible as snow thickness decreased but remained steady at longer wavelengths. Moreover, significant spatial variability appeared for the first time following snow depth heterogeneity. Spectral albedo was simulated by radiative transfer using measured SSA and density vertical profile, and impurity contents based on measurements. Simulations were most of the time within 1 % of measurements in the visible and within 2 % in the infrared. Simulations allowed the calculation of albedo and of the spectral flux at the top of the sea ice. These showed that photosynthetically active radiation fluxes at the bottom of the snowpack durably exceeded 5 W m-2 (about 9.2 µmol m-2 s-1) only when the snowpack thickness started to decrease at the end of Phase II.

Abstract. The California Pacific coast is characterized by considerable wind resource and areas of dense population, propelling interest in offshore wind energy as the United States moves toward a sustainable and decarbonized energy future. Reanalysis models continue to serve the wind energy community in a multitude of ways and the need for validation in locations where observations have been historically limited, such as offshore environments, is strong. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) owns two lidar buoys that collect wind speed observations across the wind turbine rotor layer along with meteorological and oceanographic data near the surface to characterize the wind resource. Lidar buoy data collected from recent deployments off the northern California coast near Humboldt County and the central California coast near Morro Bay allow for validation of commonly used reanalysis products. In this article, wind speeds from the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2), the Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2), the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5), and the analysis system of the Rapid Refresh (RAP) are validated at heights within the wind turbine rotor layer ranging from 50 m to 100 m. The validation results offer guidance on the performance and uncertainty associated with utilizing reanalyses for offshore wind resource characterization, providing the offshore wind energy community with information on the conditions that lead to reanalysis error. At both California coast locations, the reanalyses tend to underestimate the observed rotor-level wind resource. Occasions of large reanalysis error occur in conjunction with wind ramps, stable atmospheric conditions, wind speeds associated with peak turbine power production (> 10 m s-1), and mischaracterization of the diurnal wind speed cycle in summer months.

Published: April 2022

The paper analyzes the spatial differentiation of housing renovation processes in Lithuania and in its metropolitan cities – Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda in particular. Based on scientific, legal, and other literature related to the topic, the study identifies the general features of the Lithuanian housing renovation policy and distinguishes the main factors influencing the spatial differences of housing modernization processes. The analysis carried on secondary statistical data allowed to reveal huge differences of housing renovation at the level of Lithuanian municipalities. The spatial differentiation of renovation does not correspond to existing differences of economic development and incomes of population in municipalities. The territorial differentiation of renovation processes inside Lithuanian metropolitan cities is analyzed in the second part or the paper. The results of the analysis revealed the tendencies of spatial processes of housing policy in the three largest cities of the country. The renovation processes are highly differentiated in urban space and the socially least successful areas have the lowest share of renovated housing stock. The renovation policy has essentially no territorial priorities, therefore it’s impact on urban segregation and urbanized landscape is accidental and potentially negative.

Hadis literatüründe çok önemli bir yer tutan rical ilmi, râvilerin durumunu kendisine konu edinen bir ilim dalıdır. Bu ilim olmaksızın hiçbir muhaddisin hadislerin sıhhati konusunda hatadan kurtulamadığı apaçık ortadadır. Hadisin senetlerinde yer alan râvilerin kimlikleri ile ilgili karışıklıkları çözmek için muhaddisler büyük çabalar sarf etmişlerdir. Buna rağmen bu çabaların kesinkes net bir netice veremediği de aşikârdır. Bu araştırmada kimliği tespit edilemeyen ve bu sebeple de karışıklıklara sebep olan râvilerin kimliklerinin tespit edilmesi ve onların ayrı ayrı olarak zikredilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca birbirlerine karışma olasılığı bulunan râvilerin birbirlerinden ayırt edilebilmesi için her râvinin ayırt edici özellikleri de zikredilmiştir. Bu bağlamda aynı görülen fakat farklı olan râvileri birbirinden ayırt etmek ve rivayet ettiği hadislerin sahih ya da zayıf olduğu hükmünü verebilmek için karışık olan râviler birbirlerinden ayrı olarak ele alınmıştır. Bunu yaparken nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bununla beraber bu konularda yazılan kadim eserler hakkında bilgi verme hususu da ihmal edilmemiştir. Gerek Türkçe gerek Arapça kimlik bilgileriyle ilgili tüm kaynaklar taranarak, bu bilgiler karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada hadis ilminde râvilerin kimlik karışıklıkları incelenerek çözüm yolları üretilmeye çalışılmıştır.
ABDULHAKÎM KÂSIM’IN “EYYÂMU’L-İNSÂNİ’S-SEB‘A” ROMANINDA ÖZLEM TEMASI

Published: April 2022

Napolyon’un Mısır’ı işgali, özelde Mısır genelde Arap toplumunun romana aşina olmasını sağlamıştır. Batı menşeli bir tür olan roman doğduğu yerle münhasır kalmayarak diğer coğrafyalara da ulaşmıştır. Bu tarihten önce Arap toplumunda romanın öncüsü ve bir alt formu sayılabilecek “makâme” adlı tür mevcuttur. Arap Edebiyatı’nın Batıyla münasebeti sonucu bu tür romana evrilmiş ve artık roman, Arap toplumunda da ilgi görmeye başlamıştır. Zaman içerisinde Arap dilinde yazılmış romanların ortaya çıkmasıyla romanın Arap dünyasındaki yolculuğu da hız kazanmıştır. Yazarın düşün ve hayal dünyasından yazıya dökülen roman, son halini alıncaya kadar birçok faktörden etkilenir. Bu faktörlerden biri de yazarın yaşadığı çevre ve dönemin özellikleridir. Atmışlı yıllarda Arap dünyasında sosyalizm önemli akımlardan biri olarak kendini göstermektedir. Bu etkiyi o dönem yazarlarının eserlerinde görmek mümkündür. Arap edebiyat dünyasında “Altmışlar Kuşağı”nın önemli bir yeri vardır. Bu kuşağın temsilcilerden biri de makalemizin konusunu oluşturan Abdulhakîm Kâsım’dır. Abdulhakîm Kâsım altmışlı yıllarda yazım hayatına başlaması sebebiyle o dönem etkili olan akımlardan oldukça etkilenmiştir. İlk romanı olan “Eyyâmu’l-İnsâni’s-Seb‘a” eserinde kırsalda yaşayan bir grup fakir insanın öyküsünü konu edinmesi o dönem etkin akımlardan sosyalizmden etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Yazar romanda farklı temalar bağlamında değişik olgular işlemiştir. Özlem teması bu temalardan en belirgin olanlarındandır. Özlem temasının eserde bu kadar bariz görülmesinin sebebi Kâsım’ın eserini yazarken içinde bulunduğu halet-i ruhiyesi olsa gerektir. Bu çalışmayla “Altmışlar Kuşağı” yazarlarından Abdulhakîm Kâsım’ın hayatı ve ilk romanı “Eyyâmu’l-İnsâni’s-Seb‘a”da işlediği özlem teması analiz edilecektir. Bu şekilde yazarın eserinin özellikleri hakkında daha ayrıntılı bilgi sahibi olunması hedeflenmektedir.

Vahdet-i vücûd düşüncesine göre Varlık birdir, o da Hakk’ın varlığıdır. Diğer varlıklar Mutlak Varlık’ın taayyünü sonucu mertebe mertebe ortaya çıkarlar. Değerlendirmesi yapılan Temsiller adlı eserde de Muhyiddîn-i Rûmî’nin vahdet-i vücûd nazariyesini ele aldığı dört risâlesi yeni harflere çevrilmiş ve öncesinde vahdet-i vücûd düşüncesinin anlaşılmasında kullanılan on iki sembol bu risâlelerdeki fikirler ve tasavvuf literatüründe oluşan bilgilerden hareketle geniş bir perspektifle ele alınmıştır. Temsiller kitabı vahdet-i vücûd düşüncesinin anlatımında; halı sembolünün ele alındığı ilk eser olması, dâire çizimleri ile Varlık anlayışını ortaya koyması yönleri ile alana önemli katkı sağlayacak bir niteliğe sahiptir.
Blurring the boundaries between cereal crops and model plants
Authors: Borrill Philippa
Published: April 2022

The cereal crops rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) provide half of the food eaten by humankind. However, understanding their biology has proved challenging due to their large size, long lifecycle and large genomes. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana avoids these practical problems and has provided fundamental understanding of plant biology, however not all of this knowledge is directly transferrable to cereals. Recent developments in gene editing, speed breeding and genome assembly techniques mean that the challenges associated with working with the major cereal crops can be overcome. Resources such as mutant collections and genome sequences are now available for these crops, making them attractive experimental systems with which to make discoveries that are directly applicable to increasing crop production.
Understanding forest dynamics by integrating age and environmental change
Authors: Zhu Kai
Published: April 2022

How much carbon a forest ecosystem can sequester is determined by both postdisturbance regrowth and environmentally modified growth. Disturbance causes sharp declines in the short term and is followed by regrowth in the long term. Environmental change may alter carbon accumulation through increasing CO2, nitrogen deposition and climate change. Regrowth and modified growth occur simultaneously, yet they are usually studied separately and assessed using an additive approach. Alternatively, an interactive approach using hierarchical models can address their concurrent nature and evaluate their joint effects. Hierarchical models are informed by forest age data, which have recently become available at global scales. The age-based hierarchical framework provides a coherent and feasible way to integrate regrowth and modified growth in understanding forest dynamics.
Efecto de distintas concentraciones sobre la germinación de semillas de maíz deterioradas (bajo vigor) en condiciones de laboratorio

Published: April 2022

El maíz es uno de los cereales que se ve más afectado por un almacenamiento prolongado. Es por esta razón, que esta investigación se realizó con la finalidad de mejorar el performance de las semillas deterioradas por el almacenamiento con una solución madre de EM (Microorganismos Eficientes) y así producir plántulas normales en condiciones de laboratorio. La entrada utilizada fue la Cubano Amarilla con 60% de germinación y se contaron 2000 semillas en total. Estas fueron agrupadas en cinco tratamientos con 100 semillas por repetición: tres con la solución madre EM y captan, una sola con captan y sin EM, y otra sin captan ni EM. El ANOVA indicó que no hubo diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos ensayados para plántulas normales y semillas muertas; mientras que para plántulas anormales y semillas frescas si resultó altamente significativo. El porcentaje más alto de germinación en el maíz se encontró en el tratamiento sin EM y con fungicida lo que parece indicar que el deterioro de la membraba celular parece ser el responsable en gran medida de la no germinación, al hacerla vulnerable a los microorganismos. Finalmente, en la germinación de semillas de maíz con bajo vigor no hubo influencia de los EM; sin embargo, el tratamiento de la semilla deteriorada con un fungicida a dosis altas y la presencia de los microorganismos benéficos de la solución EM hicieron que semillas muertas tengan el aspecto de frescas por no presentar pudrición.

Electroencephalographic data signals consist of electrical signal activity with several characteristics, such as non-periodic patterns and small voltage amplitudes that can mix with noise making it difficult to recognize. This study uses several types of EEG wave signals, namely Delta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. The method we use in this study is the application of an impulse response filter to replace the noise obtained before and after the FIR filter is applied. In addition, we also analyzed the quality of several types of electroencephalographic signal waves by looking at the addition of the signal to noise ratio value. In the end, the results we get after applying the filter, the noise that occurs in some types of waves shows better results.

The article addresses the significant impact on the reduction of criminal activities such as robbery, murder, rape, molestation, kidnapping, thefts, thefts of motor vehicles, burglaries, snatching phones and jewelry, and so on, as opposed to an increase in cybercrime, domestic violence, fraud and racketeers, hoarders, hate crimes, and so on. Unemployment and, as a result, poverty were the driving forces behind criminal activity. The article also reveals how few religious congregations have led to the spread of covid-19 virus. It also discusses various measures implemented to efficiently regulate the prison system. New police force guidelines were issued, including instructions on social distancing, sanitizing, micro-grouping; beat patrolling, crowd control, crime hospital spot visits, and arresting protocol. CONCLUSION: Coronavirus has called for a mixed response in India. The answer includes a host of regulations, guidelines, services, and administrative structures, as well as public and government warnings. As the demands of government action grow, the Passivence Sicknesses Act has become a topic of discussion. Instead of establishing a comprehensive health care system, the Pestilence Infections Act allows states to take special measures in response to serious infectious diseases.

Literature in contemporary times reflects the unhidden truths which act as a threat to power structures, and also, at the same time, it challenges history and historiography. Culture Studies has made literature to be Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary. Exile Testimonio showcases the plight of the natives in their homeland. In his work Benang and That Deadman Dance, Kim Scott foregrounds the traumatic mental emancipation of the people who oppose acculturation. In contemporary times, academia is of the misconception that Exile and Testimonio are irreconcilable binaries. This research article contemplates the fact that Exile and Testimonio can be merged by confronting the sufferings of the people of Australia in the works of Kim Scott, respectively, Benang and That Deadman Dance. Culture is a predominant factor in the theoretical discourse of Exile Testimonio. Through conflicts, the culture is being uprooted by the natives, and the writers have showcased it in their literary pieces.

Adolescents are a vulnerable age group when it comes to nutrition. Some adolescents receive insufficient daily intake, particularly in rural areas with low household incomes. Moreover, suppose adolescents' nutritional intake is insufficient and is not addressed immediately until the preconception period; therefore, it will adversely influence the failure of the first 1000 days of life. This study aimed to examine the association between monthly household income and intake of macro-micro nutrients among adolescent females in a rural setting. This cross-sectional study included 100 adolescent girls aged 15-19 years old in Gunung kidul District, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. For three days, intakes of macro-micro nutrients were obtained using the 24-hour dietary recall method. Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship between monthly household income and macro-micro nutrient intake. Adolescent females had low dietary intakes with mean as follows, energy 1514.4 kcal, protein 55.7 g, fat 52.7 g, carbohydrate 219.6 g, iron 6.7 mg, zinc 5.1 mg, and vit A 742.2 µg. Monthly household income was found to have a significant relationship with energy intake (p=0.000, r=0.817), protein (p=0.000, r=0.614), fat (p=0.000, r=0.486), carbohydrate (p=0.000, r=0.692), iron (p=0.000, r=0.373), zinc (p=0.000, r=0.511), and vitamin A (p=0.027, r=0.221).

El agua y los nutrimentos minerales son factores esenciales para el crecimiento vegetal y la producción agrícola. El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar la respuesta a reducción combinada de agua y de nutrientes (25%) de cuatro poblaciones nativas de tomate y de un híbrido comercial, en comparación con un régimen de riego y nutrición suficiente (100%). Las principales variables evaluadas durante el ciclo de cultivo fueron: área foliar, biomasa, rendimiento, tamaño y número de frutos por planta, número de lóculos por fruto, firmeza, sólidos solubles totales, tasa fotosintética y eficiencia en el uso del agua (EUA). Se encontró que el híbrido comercial superó a los tomates nativos en área foliar, biomasa total, y en rendimiento de fruto, con y sin déficit hídrico. Entre los tomates nativos (que no han sido sometido al mejoramiento genético formal) sobresalió OAX por su alto potencial de rendimiento de fruto (estadísticamente similar al del híbrido) y por su alta EUA, tanto en ambiente favorable como en estrés hídrico-nutrimental. La var. EMX destacó por su tolerancia al estrés expresada en rendimiento de fruto y en tasa de fotosíntesis. La var. PUE mostró tolerancia al estrés en área foliar y en biomasa total, así como buen rendimiento. Por su parte la var. CAM tuvo el más alto contenido de sólidos solubles totales, tanto con y sin estrés. Estos resultados evidencian el potencial de los tomates nativos en productividad y calidad de fruto, que puede ser aprovechada directamente para producción comercial y como donadores de genes para formar nuevas variedades mejoradas.

Een beeld in technicolor. Vijftig jaar oorlogen in Vietnam 1940-1990
Authors: Meulendijks Pieter
Published: April 2022

An image in technicolor. Fifty years of wars in Vietnam 1940-1990 gives a broad and innovative interpretation of the history of Vietnam between 1940 and 1990. Black and white characterisations, one-sided interpretations and prevailing myths are debunked. Instead, a nuanced and multifaceted picture is given in which the United States is less prominent. History is not only written by the victors and, in this case too, the history of Vietnam during this period cannot be attributed solely to Ho Chi Minh and the success of the Communists in 1975. The internal losers, that is, the other political movements and their leaders, must also be given a crucial place in Vietnam’s history. For example, the civil wars that took place between 1940 and 1990 played an unmistakable role. The older, idealised image of North Vietnam is inaccurate. This country was a dictatorial and oppressive police state. After 1954, the North Vietnamese leaders were embroiled in a fierce power struggle and were largely responsible for the war in South Vietnam. The answer to the question of who the legitimate representatives of the Vietnamese nation were also requires a more balanced judgment of non-Communist politicians, such as Bao Dai, Ngo Dinh Diem and Nguyen Van Thieu. As for the role of international players, initially, it was the Cold War that determined the United States’ interference; later, it was American credibility. In the end, it was the support from China and the Soviet Union that was the deciding factor for North Vietnam’s victory. Important new perspectives are given on the role of minorities, the meaning of ‘a third way’, the devastating effects of the strategy, the role of women and girls, and the mental and cultural aspects of the wars.

Many non-native and native speakers all around the world have proven that English is an international language. It is sometimes referred to as the global language since it is the primary means of communication across countries. In our nation, the usage of English as a common language plays an essential role in education. English learners must place a strong emphasis on the use of communication. The ultimate goal of language instruction is to improve communication skills. Pragmatics is the method in which meaning is transferred through communicating, and linguistic skill is regarded as an instrument for communication. Pragmatic competence is the capacity to comprehend and communicate meanings that are more correct and acceptable for the cultural and social contexts in which communication takes place. Even though English is used at many levels of communication, the speakers must be familiar with a variety of pragmatic components to create coherency and the capacity to react in a variety of scenarios.
