Published: February 2023

This paper describes the early bcginnings and some preliminary theorising of the complexities involved in obtaining a clearer understanding of schooling for young adolescents in regional and rural scttings. We explain how our thinking is developingaround ways to approach some case study schools and "their communities that are advancing on the idea of learning as a form of regional and rural engagement. The central theoretical construct is how educational 'capacity building' that engages youngpeople works against the prcvailing trend of increasing numbers of young people leaving school prematurely. This construct is illustrated by reference to the complex and diverse situations and necds of young pcoplc in the KwinanaJRockingham area of theFremantle-Peel Education District in Western Australia.
PRACTICING CHILD BIRTH RITUALS: REPRODUCING MOTHERHOOD AND PATRIARCHY
Authors: Sharma Rukmani
Published: February 2023

This paper seeks to investigate the birth rituals described in Hindu scriptures and the indigenous birth rituals performed by the Bengali community in order to comprehend the implicit value system they embody. The rituals’ ingrained value system is viewed primarily in two categories- first, the conditioning of women for motherhood through birth rituals and, second, the extent to which these rituals sustain patriarchy. This socialisation through birth rites contributes to a woman’s social and self-identification as a mother. To analyse these processes, attempts are undertaken to examine birth rites in the social life of Bengali folk culture and in Hindu scripture sources. This study will concentrate solely on Hindu birth rites found in scriptural texts and folk birth rituals performed by Hindus. A field study was also conducted in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of traditional ceremonies.

Application Progress Of Auxiliary Incision Based On Open Laparoscopy In The Treatment Of Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Yuhao Qiu
Published: February 2023

The incidence of colorectal cancer is constantly increasing. With the improvement of residents' health need and the continuous development of surgery, more and more patients with colorectal cancer have a history of abdominal surgery. Complex abdominal adhesions put forward higher requirements for surgeons. The use of Veress puncture needle to establish pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic-assisted colorectal cancer surgery leads to an increased incidence of puncture side injury.Open laparoscopy is an effective method to reduce puncture damages, but there are still some limitations. Combined with the fact that most laparoscopic assisted colorectal cancer operations require auxiliary incisions, advance incision seems to be a reasonable solution. Its application is not limited to patients with previous surgical history, but also can be routinely applied to all patients with colorectal cancer. Its efficacy and safety need to be verified by further clinical studies.
Chinese Research Progress Of Blood Eosinophils As Biomarkers In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors: Ying Li , Rongjuan Zhuang ,Shuliang Guo
Published: February 2023

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease. With its heterogeneity in clinical manifestations, treatment responses and prognosis, biomarkers that can predict treatment benefits and risk stratification of deterioration are very important. In recent years, many studies have reported that eosinophils are highly involved in the development of airway inflammation in COPD. The baseline blood eosinophil count(EOS) is related to the therapeutic effect of inhaled corticosteroids(ICS) and the risk of acute exacerbation in patients. The level of EOS may be affected by many factors such as geography, race, etc. In domestic clinical work, the actual reference data of EOS may not be consistent with the recommended reference threshold value in GOLD.  Since there is no uniform and accurate epidemiological data on EOS in COPD patients in China, this review focuses on the research progress and controversy in the areas of EOS and COPD airway inflammation, development as biomarkers, and the role of guiding the clinical application of ICS, to discuss the setting of the critical value of EOS of Chinese COPD patients.
Performance Study Of Machine Learning Algorithms Used For Alzheimer’s Disease Detection
Authors: Ms. Sharda Y.Salunkhe, Dr. Mahesh S. Chavan
Published: February 2023

Dementia is widely recognized. With age comes a dramatic surge in dementia cases. It is an irreversible brain disorder that impairs thinking, memory, and judgment, causing a person’s cognitive ability to decline. Around 50 million individuals worldwide have dementia, and 10 million new cases are identified yearly. Therefore, solving this problem has become urgently necessary, and dementia must be diagnosed early for more advanced treatments to develop. Cognitive tests are used to assess a person’s mental capacity to diagnose this condition early. In the present study, we tried to detect dementia in its early stages using machine learning approaches. Data collected for the analysis comprised gender, age, education, MMSE (Mini‐Mental State Examination), CDR (Clinical Dementia Rating), ASF (Atlas scaling factor), handedness, and hospital visits for patients classified as demented or non-demented. We applied machine learning approaches such as KNN, DT (Decision Tree), and RF (Random Forest) classifiers to analyze the data. Each algorithm is compared in a study. The most accurate algorithm will be employed to continue examining the data. Our suggested study used an additional tree classifier for deeper data analysis.

Authors: Dr Priya Prasad, Dr Jubi R
Published: February 2023

Information is a key issue in the information age. The real challenge of this time is not producing information or storing information, but getting people to use information appropriately. Information is a critical resource in the operation and management of organisations. Timely availability of relevant information is vital for effective performance of managerial functions such as planning, organising, leading and controlling. There is a universal assumption that man was born innocent or ignorant and should actively seek knowledge. Information Behaviour is a broad term encompassing the ways individuals articulate their information needs, seek, evaluate, select and use information. In this era of information, it is very relevant for any type of the professionals to have the updated information at the right time in the right mode. The present study concentrates the relevance of information behaviour for nurses, especially working with the Government hospitals in Kerala.

A Chinese Renaissance: Henry Killam Murphy and His Interpretation of Traditional Chinese Architecture
Authors: Zhang Boyuan
Published: February 2023

American architect Henry Killam Murphy (1877-1954) dedicated his career to a “Chinese Renaissance” that adapted traditional Chinese architecture to meet technological and programmatic needs. Although previous scholarship has surveyed Murphy’s work, it deserves a closer analysis in order to measure Murphy’s design outcomes against the goals he described. This paper examines archive drawings by Murphy’s office so as to show the architect’s design intent, identifying creative design solutions provided by Murphy and his team that balance traditional architectural principles with modern requirements.

Savaş Düşüncesinin Bosnalı Alaaddin Sâbit Divânı’nda Somutlama ve Güzelleme Bağlamında Görünümü
Authors: Koç Burak
Published: February 2023

Akademide ve bazı edebiyatçılar, sanatçılar, çeşitli sanatlarla ilgilenen halk arasında klasik Türk şiirinin; toplumdan, gerçeklikten, sosyallikten uzak olduğu, bu edebiyatın ‘sırça köşkte’ belirli üslup seviyesinde toplumun, insanlığın meselelerine kayıtsızca ayrı bir edebi dil tercih ettiği görüşü kısmen de olsa yer bulmaktadır.Döneminin aynası şairin; toplumun, hayatın bir parçası olması muhakkak ki şairi toplum ve insanlık meselelerine, gerçekliğine yönlendirecektir. Bu gerçekliğin, muhatabı tarafından fark edilebilmesi için ilgili sanat dalının gösterenlerine dair bilgi sahibi olmak gerekmektedir. Edebî metnin gösterenlerinin de kelimelerden, mecazlardan oluşmasından ötürü edebî metinleri değerlendirirken gösterenleri, mecazlı yapıyı göz önünde bulundurmak metnin anlam katmanlarını açacaktır. Şairin kullandığı mecazlı dilin ifadede oluşturduğu farklılıktan kaynaklı, metni anlamada eksik kalındığı için şiire hakkıyla nüfuz etmek birtakım zorlukları beraberinde getirmektedir.Klasik Türk şiirinin mazmun sistemi içerisinde mecaza bağlı gelişen tasvirler klasik Türk şiirinin simgeci tarafına dikkat çekmektedir. Bununla beraber klasik Türk şiirinin merkezini savaş istiaresi olarak da belirlemek mümkün görünmektedir. Savaş istiaresine ve mazmunlara dayalı olarak sevgilinin bakışının oka, kılıca benzetilmesi; saçlarının halata, darağacına benzetilmesi anlamsız değildir. Cihangir bir devletin belirttiği şaşaalı unsurların hepsi edebiyatta kendi dili, estetiği içerisinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Şairler savaşla ilgili olarak ordunun savaşmaya değil; kanı kirlenen düşmanın kanını hacamatla temizlemeye, saçı uzayan düşmanın saçını vakıf berber hizmeti sunarak ücretsiz tıraş etmeye gittiğini güzelleme bağlamında belirtmektedir. Bu noktada şair için savaş; bozulmuş olan âlemin tabiatını kurtuluşa, selâmete erdiren doğal şifa olmakla beraber kötüyü, kirliyi ortadan kaldırmaya dayanmaktadır.Bu makalede, XVII. yüzyıl şairlerinden Bosnalı Alaaddin Sâbit’in Divân’ındaki savaşla ilgili beyitler, gösterenlerden hareketle güzelleme ve somutlama noktasında incelenecektir.

Authors: Nuryadin Nuryadin , Syaifullah A. , Riyadh Maulidi Ahmad
Published: February 2023

Obligatory will, occurs due to legal actions by changing religions other than Islam which causes no inheritance. But still get a chance with the provisions of the obligatory will. In this study, there was a legal conflict, namely Law no. 01 of 1974, Article 42, reads that a legitimate child is a child born in or as a result of a legal marriage. This does not see, due to other legal actions when the child is an adult by changing religions other than Islam. This is contrary to Faridh Law (law of Fiqh Inheritance), Al Qur'an Surah An Nisa verses 7 to 12. Also, Child Protection Law No. 23 of 2000, Article 42; Paragraph (2) reads that every child can make his choice if the child is wise and responsible and fulfills the requirements and procedures in accordance with the provisions of the religion he embraces and the provisions of the applicable laws. To provide a solution between these legal conflicts, a court decision regarding the obligatory will appeared, in court decision Number 204/Pdt.G/2007/Pa.Jr, which was confirmed by decision Number 263/Pdt.G2007/PTA.Sby and the decision of the Religious court Tondano Number 13Pdt/.G/2006/PA.Tdo, which was corrected by Decision Number 01/Pdt.G/2007/PTA.Mdo. This article will be examined using normative research methods, namely research that aims to obtain legal materials obtained through literature studies that are considered relevant to the subject matter. The results of this study are that boys and girls of different religions will still get an inheritance, but differences in the division of inheritance on the male side, the role of religious education functions to provide reinforcement in the values of Sakinah Mawaddah and Warahmah in the family, so religious education is needed. The conclusion of this study is that the obligatory will can provide strengthening of family values.

Ecological Park as an Emerging Type for Sustainable City: A Need
Authors: Kesarwani Chandrakala
Published: February 2023

Large parks are complex systems, and as such, parks with an area in excess of 500 Acres within contemporary metropolitan regions warrant special consideration and study. In particular, large parks pose specific challenges for long-term sustainability in terms of design, planning, management and maintenance, principally due to their actual and potential biodiversity coupled with the complexity inherent in their ecology and program. Indeed, “largeness” is a singularly important criterion that demands a different approach to design, planning, management and maintenance-oe that explicitly provides the capacity for resilience in the face of long-term adaptation to change, and thus for ecological, cultural and economic viability.
Image De-noising using Wavelet-Like Transform
Authors: Kumar Sushil
Published: February 2023

This paper proposes a comparative study of image denoising method using BlockShrink algorithm between the Wavelet transform (DWT) and the Slantlet transform (SLT). Slantlet transform, which is also a wavelet-like transform and a better candidate for signal compression compared to the DWT based scheme and which can provide better time localization. BlockShrink is found to be a better method than other conventional image denoising methods. Through experimental results, it is found that DWT based BlockShrink thresholding is better option than BiShrink thresholding in terms of PSNR for the Gaussian noise. The PSNR for the SLT based BlockShrink, though found to be less than DWT based method, is better option as it provides better time localization and better signal compression compared to the classical DWT.

Study on Some Advanced Techniques to Produce Biodiesel from Non-edible Oils
Authors: Khana Osama , V. M. Emran , Yadava Ashok Kumar , Guptab Saurabh Kumar
Published: February 2023

This paper reviews various technologies that have been used for biodiesel production till date, with a view to comparing commercial suitability of these methods on the basis of available feed stocks and associated challenges. Homogenously catalyzed processes are the conventional technologies. However, their large-scale applicability is compromised due to their characteristic challenges. Batch processes and continuous processes are used for industrial purposes and heterogeneous catalysis may be sustainable for the continuous processes. Heterogeneous catalysts from renewable sources may be both environmentally and economically viable. Reactive distillation has the major advantage of combining the reaction and separation stages in a single unit, thereby significantly reducing capital costs and increasing opportunities for heat integration. This paper is a comprehensive overview of current technologies and appropriate options for scale-up development, providing the basis for a proposal for the exploitation of heterogeneous catalysts from natural sources to optimize biodiesel production.

Rapid depletion of fossil fuels is urgently demanding an extensive research work to find out the viable alternative fuel for meeting sustainable energy demand without any environmental impact. looking at the twenty first century, it seems that cleaner and greener form of energy in complete congruence with environment are the only hope for a sustainable future.In the current investigation CNG is used with Jatropha oil methyl ester (JOME) in a dual fuel mode for complete combustion of charge present inside the combustion chamber, and for the reduction of emissions associated with CI engines. The engine trials were conducted on a stationary air cooled constant speed agricultural direct injection diesel engine by increasing load from 0-100%.The effects of the pilot charge on various performance and emission characteristics were evaluated on all range of load. While comparing the results with diesel an increment in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and reduction in the emissions i.e. CO, HC, smoke were found with the dual fuel mode of CNG-JOME in CI engine.
Experimental Investigation and Comparison Between an Integrated Compound Parabolic Domestic Solar Water Heater with and Without an Air Gap Introduced at the Arms of the CPC
Authors: Varghese Jaji , . Samsher , K. Manjunath
Published: February 2023

The introduction of a concentrator in a domestic solar water heating system is not yet commercialized but research studies have been carried out and model validation done with symmetrical and asymmetrical type of reflectors. With concentrating collectors it becomes imperative to track the sun. Now the method of tracking to be adopted and the number of adjustments required depends upon the collection efficiency and its application. However for households, systems operating at the lower temperature range the optical system best suited are the compound parabolic concentrator. The advantage is that it has large acceptance angle and therefore requires only occasional tracking. The model studied is batch type heater, as the receiver serves the dual purpose of absorber and storage tank, unlike conventional design which consist of a large number of smaller diameter tubes and separate storage tank. The concentrator i.e. the reflector in this case, is supported on a wooden cradle which comprises the two parabolas of the compound parabolic concentrator. In the present work experimental studies have been carried out and mean collector efficiency computed on model with an air gap introduced in the side walls (arms of the CPC) and performance compared with the model without an air gap. This work is built on a model but without the air gap. Results have shown that there is 37.7% percentage increase in collector collection efficiency with air gap.

A Systematic Review of Strategies and Methods for Cloud Migration
Authors: Tuli Krishan
Published: February 2023

By leveraging cloud services, organizations can arrange their software systems over a pool of resources. However, organizations heavily depend on their business-critical systems, which have been developed more than long period. These inheritance applications are usually deployed on-premise. In recent years, research in cloud migration has been carried out. However, there is no derivative study to consolidate this research. This paper aims to identify, taxonomically catalog and methodically compare existing research on cloud migration. By analyzing the research achievements, we split the presented migration methods into three strategies according to the cloud service models integrally. Unusual processes need to be painstaking for different migration strategies, and different tasks will be implicated accordingly. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) of 23 selected studies, published from 2010 to 2013. We classify and compare the selected studies based on a characterization framework that we also introduce in this paper. The research blend results in a facts base of current solutions. This review also identifies research gaps and commands for future research. This review reveals that cloud migration research is still in premature stages, but is advancing. It identifies the requirements for a migration framework to help improving the maturity level and consequently trust into cloud migration. This review shows a need of tool support to computerize migration tasks. This study also identifies needs for architectural version and self-adaptive cloud-enabled systems.
Data Modeling Techniques for Data Warehouse
Authors: Kumra Sona
Published: February 2023

The conceptual Entity-Relationship (ER) diagrams are extensively used for database design in relational database environment, which emphasized on day-to-day operations. Multidimensional (MD) data modelling, on the other hand, is crucial in data warehouse design, which targeted for managerial decision support. It supports decision making by allowing users to drill-down for a more detailed information, roll-up to view summarized information, slice and dice a dimension for a selection of a specific item of interest and pivot to re-orientate the view of MD data. When designing a MD model regardless whether it is a star or snowflake schema, it involves the identification of a fact, dimensions and measure attributes. This paper will explore on how the Multidimensional model can be used as the solution of data warehouse design instead of ER Model.

With the increase in development of power networks, the economical operation of power system has become a concern. The maximum capability of power systems can be exploited by means of FACTS devices. Currently, development of power electronics switches causes reduction in the cost of FACTS and therefore application of FACTS devices especially in distribution networks is more economical. But economic considerations limit the installation of FACTS controller in all of the buses or the lines. There are several methods for finding optimal locations of FACTS devices in power systems. In this paper power flow analysis using Newton Raphson method has been proposed to determine optimal location of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) in a system. The paper concentrates on the development of the power flow software package using MATLAB and the steady-state modeling of the series FACTS devices TCSC. The configuration of a typical TCSC from a steady-state perspective is the fixed capacitor with a thyristor controlled reactor (TCR). The effect of TCSC on the network can be modeled as a controllable reactance inserted in the related transmission line. The TCSC modeling equations illustrate how the flexibility of the software environment in use allows the easy combination of different objective functions, different sets of variables and different formulations of functions. Case studies demonstrate the operating regions of the series FACTS devices and their effectiveness in increasing the MW power transferability of a particular network.
Two New Single-Resistor-Controlled Quadrature Sinusoidal Oscillators using Current-Differencing-Buffered-Amplifiers
Authors: Pathak J. K.
Published: February 2023

Two new single resistor–controlled quadrature oscillator (SRCQO) circuits using only two current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBAs) as active elements and only three resistors and two capacitors, are presented. First proposed circuit uses all input terminals of the CDBA to exploit full capacity of the CDBAs, offers better sensitivities with respect to active parameters and has wide frequency range of operation. The second proposed circuit provides very good low frequency performance with respect to total harmonic distortion. Separate single resistors can control both oscillation condition and the oscillation frequency of the proposed quadrature oscillator circuits independently. PSPICE simulation results based upon commercially available AD844 ICs, to construct the CDBAs, are included which confirm the practical workability of the new proposed quadrature oscillator circuits.

Published: February 2023

With advances in solid-state power electronic devices and microprocessors, various pulse-width-modulation (PWM) techniques have been developed for industrial applications. For example, PWM-based three-phase voltage source inverters (VSI) convert DC power to AC power with variable voltage magnitude and variable frequency. This paper discusses the advantages and drawbacks of three different PWM techniques: the sinusoidal PWM(SPWM) technique, the third-harmonic-injection PWM(THIPWM) technique, and the bus-clamped PWM (BCPWM) technique. These three methods are compared by discussing their ease of implementation and by analyzing the output harmonic spectra of various output voltages (poles voltages, line-to-neutral voltages, and line-to-line voltages) and their total harmonic distortion (THD).

A Review on Design and Flow Simulation in an Axial Flow Hydro Turbine
Authors: Singh Ajay , Singh Dwesh K.
Published: February 2023

Turbines are the most important part in a hydro power plant because here fluid energy is extracted from water and is converted into mechanical energy. Most of large hydro energy sources are already in use at present time so we need to concentrate on small sources to utilize their energy capacities. Axial turbines are best suited for low head power plants than other type of turbines in terms of performance. To extract the highest possible amount of energy from water, turbines should be designed to have maximum efficiency. There should be a better flow distribution inside the turbine space to have its increased efficiency. Flow behaviour inside turbine space largely depends on geometry of runner and distributor blades. In this paper a brief review of different design criteria and flow simulation techniques used for hydro turbines has been presented.
