This study investigates the strength enhancement of Tin Slag Polymer Concrete (TSPC) under hybrid GFRP and CFRP confinement in comparison with mono GFRP and CFRP confinement on TSPC circular short column samples. Hybrid FRP confinement is prepared by wrapping TSPC with GFRP followed by CFRP both 1 layer using epoxy Sikadur 330 as matrix binders with 50 mm overlap. Compression test was performed on unconfined TSPC (TSPC-UC), TSPC with GFRP confinement (TSPC-GF), TSPC with CFRP confinement (TSPC-CF) and TSPC with hybrid FRP confinement (TSPC-HB) with 1mm/ min loading rate. The test results have revealed that the ultimate strengths are 59.19 MPa (TSPC-UC), 85.54 MPa (TSPC-GF), 108.77 MPa (TSPC-CF) and 124.59 MPa (TSPC-HB). The corresponding compressive strain measured at ultimate compressive strength is 0.0300 (TSPC-UC), 0.0453 (TSPC-GF), 0.0398 (TSPC-CF) and 0.0588 (TSPC-HB). Stress versus strain curve has shown that compared to TSPC-UC, externally strengthen sample with GFRP, CFRP and Hybrid FRP have enhanced TSPC strength with slight different behavior. TSPC-GF has less strength enhancement with larger strain while TSPC-CF provide larger strength enhancement but with lower strain. However, TSPC-HB has shown the highest strength enhancement with larger strain benefit from combined GFRP and CFRP properties. Failure mode of hybrid FRP confinement on TSPC (TSPC-HB) has shown combination of both FRP components failure mode (TSPC-GF and TSPC-CF) as in rupture pattern and delamination. The results of this study has provide findings on the effect of hybrid FRP confinement on TSPC circular column sample in close expectation based on literatures.

Authors: Kumari Jain Ronnak , V Shah Shalibhadra , Shah Pinal
Published: June 2023

Surface epithelial ovarian tumors was the most common category of ovarian tumors followed by germ cell tumors, sex cord stromal tumors and metastatic tumors in decreasing order of frequency. Incidence of benign tumors was much higher than malignant tumors with benign serous cystadenoma being the most common benign tumor and serous cystadenocarcinoma being the most common malignant tumor. Reproductive age group showed higher incidence of ovarian tumors whereas there was increasing incidence of malignancy with increasing age group. Exception to this was the higher incidence of malignant germ cell tumors in adolescent age group. Although nulliparity and low parity showed higher risk of malignancy, early menarche did not reveal any signicant increase in malignancy. Pain in abdomen was the most common symptom whereas ascites was more commonly seen with malignant tumors. Menstrual complaints were observed more commonly with tumors with functional stroma with possible role of hormonal inuence. Benign tumors showed cystic morphology and there was signicant increase in incidence of malignancy in tumors with complex or solid morphology. Thus age more than 50 years, post menopausal age group, solid and complex tumor morphology, presence of ascites, nulliparity or low parity and bilaterality of tumors signicant increased incidence of malignancy and thus these parameters can be used to predict the risk of malignancy in ovarian tumors. This was a descriptive study and analysis of data was done using chi square test and logistic regression analysis

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES :Incisional hernia is the most common iatrogenic malady. Not only does it lead to complications, aesthetic problems and a prolonged disability, there is also the problem of recurrences. Incisional hernias occur in 2–15% of patients who undergo laparotomy, with recurrence rates after treatment of 0–46%. In this study, we have used the Tanaka index in planning of preoperative pneumoperitoneum for the repair of large incisional hernias with loss of domain. METHODS: In this study, all patients with large incisional hernias with loss of domain who were admitted to surgical wards of McGann District Teaching Hospital, attached to Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences during the study period of 18 months (01/01/2021 to 30/06/2022) are included. After satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria, these patients have been thoroughly examined, investigated and evaluated preoperatively and subjected to pre operative progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) and subsequently to various surgical repairs. Follow up post operatively has been done for a maximum of 6 months after discharge. RESULTS: Incidence of Incisional hernias was more in females with male to female ratio of 1.7:1. On an average, 10 PPP sessions were needed and the volume of air inated was 4000ml (average) .Rives stoppas repair with left Transverse abdominis release repair was performed in maximum cases. We received good results with healthy wound status post 6 months of surgery.

SAGE-GCN: Graph Convolutional Network Based on Self-adaptive Stable Gates for Link Prediction in Dynamic Complex Networks
Authors: Yang Liping , Liu Hongbo , Sun Daoqiang , Liu Kai , Chen C.L. Philip
Published: June 2023

Link prediction is one of the most important tasks in uncovering evolving mechanisms of dynamic complex networks. Existing dynamic link prediction models suffer from limitations such as vulnerability to adversarial attacks, poor accuracy, and instability. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic Graph Convolutional Network model incorporating a Self-adaptive Stable Gate (SAGE-GCN) consisting of a state encoding network and a policy network. Firstly, we capture the local topology of the nodes by employing a multi-power adjacency matrix to obtain higher-order topological features, enabling its features to be distinguished at different network snapshots. Then, a stable gate is introduced to ensure multiple spatiotemporal dependency paths within the state encoding network. It is proven that SAGE-GCN with integral Lipschitz graph convolution is stable to relative perturbations in the dynamic networks. Finally, a self-adaptive strategy is proposed to choose different state encoding network instances, with a policy network used to learn the optimal temporal and structural features through corresponding rewards to capture network dynamics. With the aid of extensive experiments on five real-world graph benchmarks, SAGE-GCN is shown to substantially outperform current state-of-the-art approaches in terms of precision and stability of dynamic link prediction and ability to successfully defend against various attacks.

Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0105-0112)
Authors: Kim Sangdeog Augustin
Published: June 2023

Now at this work, the present researcher tried to translate 8 Persian words into Korean words. And the present researcher wanted to know the origin of Korean language. The present researcher used a Dictionary of Persian/French and French/Persian (Bau, 2008). The present researcher randomly chose 8 Persian words. And the researcher tried to translate several Persian words into Korean words. This study was done on the basis of pronunciation of the two languages. The title is ‘Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0105-0112)’. The results of translation were obtained as follows.  0105 Okom or Hokom (sentence) Yeog-geum (to weave, to tie together) 0106 Ejaza (permission) Essu-za (Here, it is!) 0107 Tshutsh peshak (kitten, kid cat) Tchutchu bazzak! (Come here, near to me!) 0108 Tshtsh ahu (fawn, kid deer) Tchutchu eohu! (voice when calling friendly, and voice of growl) 0109 Bayanya (conference) Bi-eos-nya? (Is there any vacant seat?) 0110 Romman (pomegranate) Zamong (zamboa, grape fruit) 0111 Besat (demonstration, parade) Gosat (a narrow alley, the common place of the village) 0112 Tshay (tea) Tcha (tea). It is difficult to say in one sentence about the relation between Persian language and Korean language. But at the present level, it can be said that there is a common language both of Persian language and of Korean language. In other words, it can be said that both Persian language and Korean language come from same origin.

Published: June 2023

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, with up to one-third of men being diagnosed in their lifetime. Recently, novel therapies have received regulatory approval with significant improvement in overall survival for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. To improve decision-making regarding the value of anticancer therapies and support standardized assessment for use by health technology assessment (HTA) agencies, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) has developed a Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale (MCBS).

Objective: This review aimed to map HTA status, reimbursement restrictions, and patient access for 3 advanced prostate cancer indications across 23 European countries during 2011-2021.

Methods: HTA, country reimbursement lists, and ESMO-MCBS scorecards were reviewed for evidence and data across 26 European countries.

Results: The analysis demonstrated that only in Greece, Germany, and Sweden was there full access across all included prostate cancer treatments. Treatments available for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were widely reimbursed, with both abiraterone and enzalutamide accessible in all countries. In 3 countries (Hungary, the Netherlands, and Switzerland), there was a statistically significant difference (P<.05) between status of reimbursement and ESMO-MCBS “substantial benefit” (score of 4 or 5) vs “no substantial benefit” (score <4).

Conclusion: Overall, the impact of the ESMO-MCBS on reimbursement decisions in Europe is unclear, with significant variation across the countries included in this review.

Published: June 2023

One of the a major threat for the electricians are climbing the electric poles to identify the faults. To avoid such cause this research aims to develop a promising method to identify the faults without climbing the poles. The portion of the electrical cable that connects the transformer to the customers is the main emphasis of this proposed work. These errors must be found and fixed as soon as possible because they directly affect the clients to do this, discrete units made up of a number of voltage and current sensors are placed at certain locations along the power line. If a failure occurs on the line, it may be determined using sensor values. The transmitter is mounted to the pole wires for continuous monitoring. If any issues are found, they are reported through GSM to the closest Electricity Board office. The research utilises the LoRa device after they have reached the desired area to find the faulty pole line and to safeguard their safety as they climb. The proposed design has developed a protype for the fault monitoring of particular area in Coimbatore and has also developed an IoT module application interface using Blynk app to convey the detected faults to the nearby electricity board. The proposed design reduces the number of casualties caused and the time required in conveying the faults to the EB. In future the suggested method could be further improved to automatically detect the pole line faults of the complete district.

To prevent data theft, unauthorized access, and network misuse, data modification network security plays a major role in it. Another important role is preventing DOS (Denial Of Service) attacks and making sure of uninterrupted service for legal network users. Network Security also has some defense protocols to protect the data from internal and external attacks.
The proposed work is based on creating a safe and secure network by creating a double authentication i.e., by using mail and SMS. Double authentication can also be used in banks as many thefts are being done in a single authentication, if double authentication is implemented through SMS and mail it provides additional security for transactions that are done online. This research is implemented with the help of servers and a microcontroller to develop an application that is essential in a smart home design.

A mechanical analog of cyclotron motion is found and a scheme of the corresponding device, which can be called a stabilized rotator, is determined. The natural frequency of rotation of a stabilized rotator is strictly fixed (it does not depend on either the moment of inertia or the moment of impulse) and remarkably coincides with the natural frequency of oscillations of a pendulum with identical parameters.

Published: June 2023

Agriculture is the dominant occupation in the Garu district that employs over 95 percent of households. However, yields of maize in the district are perpetually low. This might be due to intermittent drought (erratic rainfall pattern), low soil fertility, invasion of diseases and pests, inadequate technical know-how, inadequate credit facilities to expand production and the use of inappropriate farming practices and techniques. The objective of the study was to assess the effect of maize production on food security in Garu district of the Upper East region of Ghana. Purposive sampling technique was used to select Garu district out of the thirteen districts in the Upper East region of Ghana. The purposive sampling technique was again used to select 10 predominantly maize farming communities within the Garu district. The stratified sampling technique was used to selects respondents from the ten communities, while simple random sampling was used to select Agricultural Extension Agents for the study. In all, 124 respondents were selected for the study. The study revealed that over 50% of household members had enough maize to feed on throughout the 12 months period of the year. The study further established that most household made good use of maize as their main diet and nutrition throughout the year. It is recommended that capacity building of farmers on agronomic practices and improved modern methods of farming should be intensified to further sharping the skills of farmers for increased productivity and hence, improved food security. It is also recommended that the Department of Agriculture should ensure effective extension services delivery to increase yields of maize from the average of 4-6 100kg bags per acre to 10 bags per acre.

Published: June 2023

This study was undertaken to assess the production systems, prospects and challenges of quail farming in three (3) ecological zones (Rainforest, Transitional and Guinea Savannah) in Ghana. Sixty (60) quail farmers were purposefully sampled for the study using the snowball sampling technique. Data were gathered through interviews with the aid of structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS 22.0. The results showed that more males (86.7%) than females (13.3%) were involved in quail farming in Ghana with majority (73.3%) of farmers having less than five years of experience in the business. About 50% of quail farmers had their flock sizes ranging from 501 to 2000 birds. Three (3) major breeds of quails (Japanese, American and Jumbo Giant quails) are reared in Ghana but the most common breed is the Japanese quail due to its prolificacy and ability to tolerate the intensive colony battery cage management system for commercial egg production. Quail production was more prevalent in the ecological zones in Southern Ghana than in the Northern Guinea Savannah zone.
Interceding Role of Agricultural Extension Services in Adoption of Climate-Smart Agricultural Technologies in Northern Ghana
Authors:   University for Development Studies, Ghana, Anang Benjamin Tetteh
Published: June 2023

As a result of the effect of climate change on food security and rural livelihoods, the promotion and adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices have become very crucial. The role of agricultural extension in the adoption decision process is an important factor. However, extension delivery systems in most developing countries face numerous challenges that raise concerns about their ability to bring about the desired impact on farm households’ decisions. Relying on data from a cross-section of smallholder farmers in Ghana’s northern savanna area, specifically the Tolon district, the study assessed the determinants of farmers’ decision to adopt climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices as well as the intensity of adoption and the role agricultural extension plays in CSA adoption. Using a Poisson regression with endogenous treatment effects model to account for selectivity bias, the study observed that farmers adopt multiple CSA practices, with adoption being influenced by farmer group membership, size of herd and participation in off-farm work. Intensity of adoption, on the other hand, increased with access to agricultural extension, farm credit and input subsidy, but decreased with farm size and participation in off-farm work. Furthermore, an impact assessment indicated that participants in agricultural extension had 1.27 more adoption of CSA practices than they would if they had not participated in agricultural extension. The study concludes that there is a strong association between adoption intensity and access to agricultural support services such as extension, input subsidy and agricultural credit. The interceding role of extension in the adoption of CSA practices calls for more resources to be channeled towards extension service provision as a means to mitigate the effects of climate change and promote sustainable production at the farm level. The positive externalities from CSA adoption will go a long way to protect the environment, promote food security and rural livelihoods.

The purpose of this research was to assess the efficiency of monosodium glutamate (MSG) as growth promoter in broiler chicken production. The study evaluated the effect of varying concentrations of MSG in the drinking water of broiler chickens on their growth performance, carcass characteristics and caecal Escherichia coli population. Ninety (90) chicks at 21 days of age were randomly selected and assigned to 5 treatment groups (0g/L, 2g/L, 3g/L, 4g/L and 5g/L) of MSG concentrations in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 18 chicks per treatment and 6 chicks per replicate. MSG was administered in the drinking water. Feed and water were given ad-libitum and light provided 24 hours. The parameters measured were feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, carcass dress weight, digestive organ traits and caecal Escherichia coli concentrations. Data collected were analysed using one-way ANOVA in GenStat (version 8). The results of the study showed an improvement (P<0.05) in feed intake and daily weight gain at 5g/L concentration and the highest (P<0.05) feed conversion efficiency was achieved at concentrations of 2 and 3g/L respectively. Carcass dress weight, liver and intestinal weights increased (P<0.05) at a concentration of 5g/L. However, those group of birds on 2g/L MSG concentration had the highest (P<0.05) heart weight and those of birds in the control had the highest (P<0.05) intestinal length. Escherichia coli concentration in the caeca reduced (P<0.05) as the concentration of MSG increased in the drinking water of birds. In conclusion, MSG supplementation in broiler chickens production could improve growth performance and reduce pathogenic microbes especially E. coli.

Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University, Moscow, Russia, Abeer Husin
Published: June 2023

Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the global economy, making a significant contribution to economic growth, job creation and regional development. However, despite its potential, the tourism services market faces a number of restrictions and barriers that hinder its full development. Institutional constraints play a key role in the formation of these barriers. They cover a wide range of factors, including government regulation, financial constraints, corruption, legal and administrative barriers, and inadequate infrastructure. All these factors can have a negative impact on the development and competitiveness of the tourism industry. The purpose of this article is to analyze the institutional constraints and barriers that the tourism services market faces and assess their impact on its development. More specifically, the article will look at government regulation, financial constraints, corruption and insufficient infrastructure as the main institutional factors limiting the growth and development of the tourism industry. To achieve this goal, a literature review will be conducted, which will examine the current scientific literature and research on institutional constraints and barriers to the development of the tourism services market. Based on the findings and analysis, the research methodology will be presented, as well as a discussion of the main findings and recommendations. The study of institutional restrictions and barriers in the tourism services market is of great practical importance. Understanding these limitations and developing appropriate strategies and policies will help overcome obstacles and create an enabling institutional environment for tourism development. This will not only improve the competitiveness of individual regions and countries, but also contribute to the sustainable development of the tourism industry as a whole.

Teachers and students need to be more aware of the new applications and tools that have flooded the field of AI in recent years. This conclusion was reached in the context of the article.
An Analysis of the Arabic-English Translation of Culture-Specific Items in Al Shehhi 'Uncle Sam & Myself'
Authors: Zagood Mohammed
Published: June 2023

People speak different languages across the globe and belong to different cultures, but they still need to communicate. People of discrete cultures think differently and use various concepts and expressions across languages. Such differences appear in literature and are expressed through culture-specific items (CSIs). This study analyzes the CSIs in Al Shehhi’s أنا و العم سام /?na: wa l؟am sa:m/ (2016) and its English translation, ‘Uncle Sam & Myself’ (2017). The book was translated by Renaissance Translation and Businessmen Services. The analysis provides a comparison between the CSIs in the ST (Arabic) and their TT (English) translations. The analysis was theoretically tethered to Newmark’s (1988) classification of CSIs and the translation procedures he postulated. Throughout the analysis, it has been found that some CSIs are inaccurately translated due to the cultural differences between Arabic and English, the use of specific local Emirati expressions in the ST, and the misuse of some translation techniques, as represented in the overuse of invalid literal translations.

The spirit of Islamic economics has recently developed in Indonesia, which is the context of this study evaluating the culture of using conventional accounting and economic systems. The objective of this study is to determine how the Islamic economy applies mainstream accounting and financial systems culturally. Our study explored the applicability of standard accounting and economic systems from an Islamic perspective. Initially, we gathered data on accounting information systems and Islamic Sharia from journals, conferences, books, and other relevant sources. Then, we used a comprehensive evaluation and interpretation coding system to acquire pertinent information to answer the project's concerns. We scoured Google Books, Taylor & Francis, Sage Publications, Elsevier, and other domestic scientific publications for information on the assessment and interpretation coding factors. The Islamic Sharia economic system is a system or mechanism that is regulated according to Islamic Sharia law, for example, in regulating business activities, classifying data, summarizing data, preparing reports, and analyzing finances and businesses using principles and rules that are derived from the Qur'an, hadith, and the understanding of scholars in order to realize a just and equitable society.

Authors: Bulawka Hanna , Molek Joanna , Wozniak Julita
Published: June 2023

This paper investigates how foreign nationals living and working in Poland evaluate Polish colleagues’ communication in English and its effectiveness in international business. It identifies features of linguistic behaviour attributed to Polish business interactions. Five dimensions of cultural variability (directness, emotionality, power distance, confrontation, critical evaluation) are used as benchmarks and offer an observational framework for examining Polish communication patterns. The attitudes that foreign business professionals expressed towards their Polish colleagues’ style of interaction are measured using a Likert scale and interpreted based on the results of qualitative interviews and secondary research. The article highlights the pragmatic dangers of misunderstanding or underestimating culturally-driven behaviours in the global setting.

Authors: Ghasemi Ali Asghar , Ahmadian Mosa
Published: June 2023

This study intended to propose a model of intercultural communicative competence integrating international posture, L2 motivational self-system, autonomy, and cognitive learning strategies. To do so, 180 EFL learners in the Iranian EFL context, selected by convenience sampling procedure, participated in the study. The findings, derived from structural equation modeling, showed that the model adequately fits to the data. That was discussed that interest in seeking international affairs and making intercultural friends, desire to bridge the gap between their current and future selves, taking responsibility for learning, and employment of deep/surface learning strategies direct learners to open conversation with the speakers of other ethnicities. Finally, implications for language teachers and policymakers to inspiring learners to be competent in intercultural communication were provided.
