The “Women” of Nowhere: a Study of the Women Migrants of North East India
Authors: - Srija Rakshit
Published: January 2023

The women in general play a very important role in every community. The status of women in India differ in each region. In most parts of India women are considered as a weaker section of the society due to various reasons like gender differences, customs, traditions, attitudes and also due to patriarchal nature of the society. However, today in most parts of the country women are outshining, and enjoying equal rights as men and striving for the best. This paper seeks to bring in some of the frames of the women in Northeast India. The idea of Northeast is too contested, at the same time constitutes a very large area, to bring into the ambit of this paper. Therefore, what it attempts to do is to take a view from afar and see from a broader lens touching the status of women in north east India with respect to dignity, rights, education, roles in the family and society, opportunities, occupation, and violence. The regions selected for the study were Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Assam Meghalaya and Tripura. The age group was approximately 12 to 40 years of age. The methodology of this paper is descriptive and required information were collected from different secondary sources like books, research articles, different government documents, etc. The implications of the study is to bring awareness about the condition of women of north east borders. Both the positive and negative aspects that they live in are explained, which provides a more comprehensive and clear picture about the overall status of women in the North East Indian regions.

Published: January 2023

The financial reporting of cooperatives to the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (KUKM) is often delayed while financial statement information is considered relevant if it is timely. The financial report serves as material for analyzing the performance of the cooperative and as an accountability report from the management to the owners or members of the cooperative at the annual member meeting. By using information technology as a moderating variable, this study aims to identify the effect of accounting understanding, human resource competence, and internal control systems on the quality of cooperative financial statements in the DKI Jakarta area. The population of this study is cooperatives located in DKI Jakarta. The determination of the sample used a purposive sampling technique and this study involved 97 cooperatives as samples. This quantitative study used SEM and Smart PLS models for data analysis. The results showed that accounting understanding, human resource competence, and the application of the internal control system had a positive and statistically significant effect on the quality of financial statements. Meanwhile, the use of information technology did not strengthen the effect of accounting understanding, human resource competence, and the application of the internal control system on the quality of financial statements.

COVID-19 is a new disease due to a virus that has not yet been identified. Services due to Large-Scale Social Restrictions which hinder population mobility. This can disrupt the continuity of health services which can lead to an increase in morbidity and mortality, especially in infants. The purpose of carrying out this dedication to the community is to disseminate guidance to increase children's immune energy so that they can avoid the transmission of COVID-19 transmission in infants and preschoolers. Providing data on methods of preventing the transmission of COVID-19 to infants and pre-school children is a strategy tried in Pulo Lor Village to avoid the transmission of COVID-19 in this age group. This training uses posters and direct descriptions as the method. Experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, residents must be disciplined and practice cleanliness and live a healthy life. In order to help residents be more socialized, health workers coordinate matters relating to efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and monitor the health of infants and preschool children. Finally, the method of protecting children's health goes hand in hand with efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 to infants and preschoolers. If children need monitoring or bonus services, health service providers must provide telephone numbers or data lines that are ready to contact residents for consultations via telephone or appointments. It is hoped that by distributing counseling about methods of preventing the transmission of COVID-19 to infants and pre-school children in Pulo Lor Village, the dedication of these residents can increase family understanding of the disease, especially among mothers, without causing panic.

Published: January 2023

Examining and evaluating the improved microstrip patch antenna to enhance the performance by the initial objectives are the main contribution of this paper. To achieve multiband operation, the patch's shape is first adjusted later microstrip patch with the slot presented. With the help of the Ansoft HFSS antenna simulator, functional analysis has been shown to examine the impact on antenna resonant frequency. A probe-driven microstrip patch antenna imprinted on FR4 epoxy substrate with 1.6mm thickness and a dielectric constant of 4.4 is developed in this work via the HFSS tool for wireless applications operating between 2 to 5GHz. To achieve multiband operation, the structure of the patch is varied. The impacts on antenna resonant frequency are examined through numerical simulations. The length, as well as the width of a traditional patch antenna, is initially computed, and further, an appropriate patch dimension of 28.3mm x 36.9mm has been determined. For multiband operation over the frequency ranging between 2 and 5GHz wireless applications, a probe-driven microstrip patch antenna imprinted on FR4 epoxy substrate with 1.6mm thickness and a dielectric constant of 4.4 is built via the HFSS tool. The proposed architecture of a traditional microstrip patch antenna is imprinted on an FR4 epoxy substrate with a 1.6mm thickness and a 4.4 dielectric constant. The proposed antenna design is illustrated for the 3D structure of the Mutual Coupling Steered Array-Lens Antenna System (MPA) with an improved patch. To achieve multiband operation, two slots are inserted on the edges of the patch, and both the slots are 2mm wide, as well as the depth of the slots is modified to see how it corresponds to the resonant frequency. This work is mainly concentrated on (i) Examining as well as evaluating the improved microstrip patch antenna to enhance its performance, (ii) Examining, evaluating, as well as assessing the performance of an improved split ring resonator metamaterial, and (iii) Exploring, analyzing, as well as evaluating the performance of dielectric lens base patch array antennas and (iv) Developing as well as analyzing the transmission line phase shifter. The groundwork for developing this work is being carried out, and a comparative study is made on (i) techniques for improving the antenna's performance through the application of a modified patch antenna, a Modified split ring resonator, a Dielectric lens structure, and Transmission line phase shifter.

This article analyzed carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from the combustion of reactive materials modeled in a cylindrical domain. Reactive materials in this case involve carbon-containing substances that react spontaneously with the oxygen of the surrounding environment under the influence of an exothermic chemical reaction. In this analysis, the reactant (oxygen) consumption was neglected. The nonlinear differential equation governing the problem was solved numerically using the Finite Difference Method embedded within the Maple software. It was found that there are kinetic parameters that enhance the emission of CO2, like the rate of reaction, and others, like the heat loss parameter, retard the CO2 emission during the exothermic chemical reaction.
Sensitivity and Joint Investment Analyses of a Multi-objective Investment Optimization Model of two Businesses in Ghana
Authors: B. Twum Stephen , Akanyare Jones
Published: January 2023

This paper is a further development of an earlier work reported in the literature by the authors. In that work, the investment problems of two businesses in Ghana were formulated as biobjective optimization models in which their expected returns and risks were optimized simultaneously using real data from the two. The current work investigates the two models under a sensitivity analysis and about the potential benefits that a joint investment could hold for the two businesses. The rates of return parameters were identified as the most likely to vary over the period of the investments. Therefore, they were varied up and down by 5% and up and down by 10%, considered as reasonable levels of variation. A random selection procedure was employed to obtain two random sets of rates of return parameter values for the two businesses, from which expected return and risk values were obtained for each of the models. The results of running the models (in MATLAB) showed that the impact of parameter variations was not significant, as far as the Pareto optimal solutions which are the amounts to invest, were concerned; the objective function values of returns and variances varied however, since their coefficient values varied with the values of the parameters varied. The formulated joint model produced results that showed that a joint investment could be more profitable than separate investments, even though that had a much higher risk.

The Impact of a donor’s domestic political economy on its policy and practice of development cooperation comparing to the impact of international norms and principles
Authors:   Jizzakh State Pedagogical University, Yakhshilikov Sanjar
Published: January 2023

International norms and principles are considered as the main basement for the international development cooperation programs. Developed countries are thought that they are the leader of humanitarian aids and they do this just for the sake of developing and underdeveloped countries. However, the policy and practice of development cooperation are affected mainly by domestic political economy of donor nations. The international principles, non-government organizations (NGO) and other international organizations have less impact on the donors’ action in international arena. Meanwhile, it is the domestic political economy and national interests of donor countries that influence their endeavor in the international development cooperation projects. The author of this paper will discuss how national political aims are stronger than international norms and principles when it comes to international cooperation.

Ocular Characteristics of Non-COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Study of Time-Sensitive Ophthalmic Care during the Pandemic
Authors: Moore Yun-Ping , Ward Laura , Gulaid Farah , Primo Susan
Published: January 2023

Purpose: To analyze the cohort of clinical patients seen during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown at Emory Eye Center in comparison with prior weeks. Method: We conducted a retrospective chart review from three outpatient clinical sites over a period of eighteen weeks, which covered pre-COVID-19 dates as well as the dates of when our clinics were closed near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We utilized data from providers assigned to daily triage coverage for in-person exams. Primary diagnosis and visit type data were extracted to look for trends and commonalities among urgent or time-sensitive patients. Results: For the nine weeks prior to clinic closure, there were 11,700 primary visit codes. During the nine-week closure, there were 1,624 in-person visit codes. We were able to observe some trends for descriptive purposes. Diagnoses of patients seen in person with higher frequency during the closure included vitreous disorders (i.e., posterior vitreous detachment), corneal ulcer, optic nerve disorders, idiopathic intracranial hypertension and post-operative care. We also looked at our telehealth visit numbers. However, there were very few telehealth visits (n=25), which rendered the telehealth analysis statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Through an analysis of the pool of non-COVID patients who were seen during the shutdown in our clinics via in-person urgent or time-sensitive exams, we were able to observe a breakdown of visit type and diagnosis. A comparison of those patients with the distribution seen in person during the previous nine weeks was reviewed. Although our numbers for data analysis during closure were too small to devise an evidence-based algorithm, there were still several lessons we learned from this first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic such as: 1) how to predict which patients may be more time-sensitive or urgent from a pre-determined list of diagnoses; and 2) how to immediately establish an ophthalmologist/optometrist (MD/OD) daily triage coverage schedule. We found it difficult to successfully incorporate a significant number of telehealth visits because most eye conditions, which were already deemed urgent by our call center, were in general considered conditions that required further evaluation by a provider. We hope that these take-away lessons will further improve ophthalmic care for any future pandemic or widespread closure.

Longstanding Crystalline Retinopathy Secondary to Intravitreal Triamcinolone Injection
Authors: Thomas Katherine , Curry Jeffery
Published: January 2023

Background: Crystalline retinopathy has many disparate etiologies with varying potentials in visual outcome. Due to the potential severity of these outcomes, differentiation of etiology is critical to guide both follow up and treatment regimen. Diagnosis can be facilitated with a thorough medical history, clinical presentation, and imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). Case Report: This case demonstrates a rare incidence of crystalline retinopathy in a 65-year-old male attributed to a single intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injection with 8 year follow up data, followed by a review of other types of crystalline retinopathy secondary to pharmaceutical agents. Conclusion: A complete case history, including medications, systemic disorders and surgical history are critical. Ancillary testing, such as OCT can be diagnostic. This patient’s history of IVTA injection for diabetic macular edema and the OCT showing preretinal hyperreflective refractiles lead to the diagnosis of triamcinolone crystalline retinopathy.
Board Size And Retained Earnings of Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria
Authors: Offor Eucharia Uchenna , Okwo Ifeoma Mary
Published: January 2023

The study examined board size and retained earnings of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The objective of the study was to ascertain the relationship between board size and retained earnings of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study adopted an ex-post-facto research design, covering the period between 2010 and 2019. Secondary data were extracted from the annual reports and accounts of sampled deposit money banks in Nigeria. Total assets, total deposits, statutory reserves, and number of branches, were the control variables of the study. Multiple regression and covariance analysis were used for data analysis. The covariance analysis revealed that total asset (p-value < 0.05), total deposit (p-value < 0.05), and number of branches (p-value < 0.05) have a strong and positive relationship with retained earnings (80% approx., 78% approx., 64% approx. respectively). Statutory reserve (p-value < 0.05) and board size (p-value < 0.05) have a strong and negative relationship with retained earnings of deposit money banks in Nigeria with the following coefficients Statutory reserve 73% and board size 53% approx. The findings imply that as a total asset, total deposits, and the number of branches are increasing, the banks’ retained earnings also increase significantly and vice versa. On the other hand, as statutory reserve and board size are increasing, banks’ retained earnings decrease significantly. Hence, these variables can be used to predict and make decisions on retained earnings of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study, therefore, recommends that deposit money banks in Nigeria should keep a small or moderate board size since an increase in board size affects their retained earnings negatively.

Published: January 2023

This research work is aimed at the effects of deforestation on the economic activities of the inhabitants of Abaji area in Abuja. The study employed a mixed research strategy in the collection, analysis and presentation of findings. The tools of data collection include administered questionnaires and participant observation and reconnaissance survey carried out in the study area to gather baseline information which would aid the design of the study. Information accessed during the visit includes the baseline report on problems encountered with deforestation in Abaji area. Personal interview was conducted to some selected individuals living in Abaji area wards such as agricultural officials or extension workers, farmers, household heads, fuel wood seller and people working at the timber sheds. Questionnaires based on socio-economic characteristics of the households were administered. The questionnaire was administered to meet the stated objectives of the study. Six (6) wards were sampled using stratified random sampling technique. In this situation, the Area Council was stratified into North, Central and Southern zones. 140 households were sampled. Out of 300 respondents sampled in this study, 67.3% are male while 32.7% are females. Most respondents interviewed had some form of education indicating that there is generally fairly literacy level among them except for 9% that have no formal education. The result of the study has clearly indicated that the occupation distribution of 51% of the respondents is farming. Apart from farming, other forms of occupation such as driving, tailoring, lumbering and trading constitute 28% of the response obtained. On the other hand, gathering of fuel wood, collection and gathering of medicinal plants, collection of wild fruits and nuts, collection of wild vegetables, and gathering of fodder, marketing of bush meat etc. constitute 22% respectively. By implication, this means that the bulk of the responses are directly involved in activities that cause deforestation. The study recommends that deforestation effects could be ameliorated by promulgation of government policies that regulate the use of forest products, dissemination of information on forest, environmental sustainability issues, and education on aforestation in order to improve and maintain farmlands, since agriculture has been implicated as one of the primary causes of deforestation, there is need to adopt farming systems that encourage conservation tillage. This should include introduction of organic farming method, hydroponics, greenhouse gardens, slash and char rather than slash and bum, as well as alley farming in which crops are interspersed with small trees.

The present work aims to investigate the behavior of drying kaffir lime leaves in a swirling solar drying chamber (S-SDC) fitted with an inclined slotted angle air distributor. A distributor plated with inclined slotted angle was located at the air inlet at the bottom of the chamber. Experimental and numerical methods have been applied to analyze the efficiency of developed S-SDC assisted solar drying system based on the moisture content (MC), moisture content ratio (MR) and drying rate (DR) were examined. The experimental results showed that the S-SDC can reduce the moisture content of kaffir lime leaves more rapidly than a conventional solar drying chamber (CSDC). The S-SDC gave a higher DR and decreased drying time compared to that of C-SDC. The results also indicated that operation at higher air velocities resulted in a greater DR, especially at the beginning stage of the drying process. For the S-SDC, the reduced of MC, MR and DR at a high air velocity (v = 2.0 m/s) was better than at low air velocities (v = 0.5 and 1.0 m/s). Drying chamber efficiency is also observed at a higher air velocity of 2 m/s for both SSDC and CSDC. In addition, obtained experimental findings are in line with numerical results. The outcomes of this study present the potential of using the S-SDC compared to the C-SDC to be used in drying crops.

В статье рассмотрены информационные ресурсы для формирования информационных компетенций специалистов - финансовых менеджеров. Цифровизация обучения также способствует получению навыков оперативного и эффективного реагирования на быстрые изменения предпринимательской среды, умения не только применять на практике полученные в процессе обучения в вузе знания, навыки и умения, но и обладать способностью осваивать новые технологии, системы, методы и инструменты, активно проникающие во все сферы жизни общества. Перспективным направлением становится применение цифровых технологий в процессе подготовки финансовых менеджеров, что предполагает включение цифровых компонентов во все дисциплины (модули, практики) вариативного блока, формирующие профессиональные компетенции.

The digitalization of the economy and the development of information and communication technologies put forward new requirements for the training of financial managers. It is this factor that forms the adaptive capacity to the rapidly changing conditions of the macro environment. A fundamentally new competence of financial managers lies in the ability to use digital platforms and services to adequately manage the ongoing transformations in the management of the financial sector and government structures. The digital economy imposes special requirements on the formation of competences that will provide opportunities for continuously mastering new digital technologies and will contribute to the practical implementation of the concept of lifelong learning. The paper considers the information resources for the formation of information competences at financial managers. The digitalization of education also contributes to the acquisition of skills to quickly and effectively respond to rapid changes in the business environment, the ability not only to put into practice the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired in the process of studying at a university, but also to have the ability to master new technologies, systems, methods and tools, actively penetrating into all spheres of society. A promising direction is the use of digital technologies in the process of training financial managers, which involves the inclusion of digital components in all disciplines (modules, practical trainings) of the variable block that form professional competences.

Статья посвящена одному из основных этапов Международной просветительской акции «Пушкинский диктант» - конкурсу методических материалов. Как считают учредители этой акции (АССУЛ), при составлении конкурсных заданий допустимы широта подхода к исходному материалу, свобода выбора микротем и мотивов пушкинского творчества. Данная позиция не может быть принята безоговорочно. Для того чтобы обеспечить равные условия всем категориям участников «Пушкинского диктанта», необходимо создание единой научно-методической основы для разработчиков заданий. Авторы статьи, исходя из собственного опыта проведения «Пушкинского диктанта - 2022», выработали систему принципов составления конкурсных заданий, которые могут быть приняты как базовые для Пушкинского диктанта на постоянной основе. В работе приводятся примеры конкретных заданий разного типа, в методологическом и историко-литературном аспектах анализируются их сильные и слабые стороны. Отдельно подчеркивается, какие содержательные составляющие могут влиять на успешность конкурсного задания. В статье прослеживается механизм реализации предлагаемых принципов при составлении заданий Международной акции, где главная цель - просветительская. Статья представляет интерес для составителей заданий «Пушкинского диктанта - 2023», а также всех тех, для кого «Пушкинский диктант» стал средством широкого межкультурного общения.

The article is devoted to one of the main stages of the international educational campaign “Pushkin Dictation”, which is the competition of teaching aids. According to the founders of this action (Association of Teachers of Literature and Russian), a wide approach to the source material, freedom of choice of micro-themes and motives of Pushkin's works are acceptable in compiling the contest tasks. This position cannot be accepted unconditionally. In order to provide equal conditions for all categories of participants in the Pushkin Dictation, it is necessary to create a single scientific and methodical basis for task developers. Based on their own experience in the Pushkin Dictation - 2022, the authors have developed a system of principles for compiling contest tasks, which can be accepted as basic for the Pushkin Dictation on a permanent basis. The paper presents examples of various types of tasks and analyses their strengths and weaknesses from both methodological and historical and literary perspectives. It is also emphasized which content components may influence the success of a contest task. The article traces the mechanism of implementation of the proposed principles in compiling contest tasks for the international campaign, the main goal of which is educational. The article is of interest to the compilers of the tasks for the “Pushkin Dictation - 2023”, as well as to all those for whom the “Pushkin Dictation” has become a means of cross-cultural communication.

Murmurs from the Vascular Members: A Generalized Theoretical Outlook
Authors: Francis Egenti Nzerem
Published: January 2023

Stenosis-induced turbulence can bring many insidious effects to bear on the vasculature. The sound generated in an arterial compartment due to fluctuating turbulent pressure and the distortions in the flow characteristics around a stenotic region leave much to be desired. As vascular sounds are generated locally in the peripheral blood vessels, they require near-field auscultation. It is commonplace in clinical practice to place premium on near-field auscultation, with little attention to events in the far field. Nevertheless, retrograde waves that travel some distance away from the vicinity of the acoustic source require attention. They create an incipient murmur that pervades from a distance well before the source point on impact with the advancing anterograde wave. This paper, a theoretical study on vascular murmurs, utilized the concept of acoustic power spectrum and Lighthill’s acoustic analogy in describing vascular murmurs. Apologies for far-field acoustic auscultation are made since in-situ-generated vascular sounds may travel beyond the near field.

The growth of an insurance company is measured by the number of policies purchased by customers. To keep the company growing and having more customers, the customer churn prediction model is crucial to maintain its competitiveness. Even if the company has good service delivery, it is important to identify the customer’s behavior and be able to predict the future churners. The main contribution to our work is the development of a predictive model that can proactively predict the customer who will leave the insurance company. The model developed in this study uses machine learning techniques on lion insurance data. Another main contribution of this study is the labeling of the data using an unsupervised algorithm on 12007 rows with 9 features from which 2 clusters were generated using the K-means++ algorithm. As the cluster results found are imbalanced, the synthetic minority oversampling technique was applied to the training dataset. The Deep Neural Network algorithm turns out to be a very effective model for predicting customer churn, reaching an accuracy of 98.81%. The two years of customer data were obtained from lion insurance and used to train test, and evaluate the model. The Randomized optimization technique was selected for each algorithm. However, the best results were obtained by a deep neural network with a structure of (9-55-55-55-55-55-1). This algorithm was selected for classification in this churn prediction study
