Developing Cross-Cultural Competencies in Startups after Covid-19: An Overview
Authors: Himani R.
Published: September 2022

In the present VUCA world, start-ups are known to perform to the best of their ability. The goal of this study is to learn more about how great multicultural start-ups may be a powerful and adaptable driver for economic progress which are started after covid-19. Both primary and secondary data are collected from various electronic sources and the method of the questionnaire has also been employed to understand the topic in a qualitative and explorative manner. It can be easily concluded that cross-cultural competencies help start-ups to understand the global market scenario and respond accordingly in an appropriate way. This opens a new vertical of learning to make the business a better responsive organization. Although on the other hand, such start-ups are often seen to face issues in hiring and bureaucracy because of various reasons such as cultural issues and unfair use of unpaid work. To overcome this, start-ups need to follow lean management and also focus on improving cross-cultural communication.
The Importance of Internationalization on ‘Academics and Research’ parameters for Ranking of Universities after Covid-19
Authors: Sahasrabudhe S. , Yeravdekar V. , Neelam N.
Published: September 2022

Mobility of students and faculty is an essential aspect of Internationalization of Higher Education (IHE), but it also has an influence on academics and research, necessitating study into the consequences of these two characteristics for university ranking. The study used a qualitative approach to data collecting. Vice Chancellors and Senior Academicians from Institutes of Higher Education in India, Australia, and Zambia were interviewed in-depth to learn more about the impact of globalization on academics and research. The responses from majority of the academicians were positive as Internationalization of academics and research creates an environment bringing in intercultural, international and comparative aspects in the classroom. The world today faces challenges due to Covid-19, which are no longer local but have global implications. Local solutions can be applied globally through Internationalization of research. However, other academics believe that internationalization may not be a priority for India at this time, since the country must focus on domestic issues such as access and fairness. Academic internationalization not only provides a global classroom environment, but it also has a tremendous influence on the community through research, since these answers may be used internationally, resulting in changes. According to the findings, internationalization should be regarded as a criterion for the Indian Ranking System. This paper provides in-depth insights and views of policymakers about the importance of Internationalization and its significant influence on academics and research after Covid-19.
Experimental and computational fluid dynamics simulation of performance analysis of steam generators of boilers
Authors: Math Praveen
Published: September 2022

Poor air temperature in modern power plants is one of the main reasons for the increase in unit temperature and the deterioration of boiler performance. The main problem of the air preheater is the leakage of air on the side of the gas flue and thus lead to improper thermal performance. Thehigh ash content in Indian coal also adds to the problems associated with air tube heating. Air preheaters are designed to meet the operational requirements with consideration of the most impact parameters. heat transfer, leakage and pressure reduction. In the current work the performance of the air-conditioning heater is being tested with the help of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD)Fluent 14.0 analysis tool.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To compare the efficacy of intracervical dinoprostone gel and hyaluronidase injection for induction of labour in term primigravida.
Materials and methods: This is a hospital based analytical prospective interventional study conducted in a rural tertiary care centre over a period of 18 months.  A total of 70 patients who required induction of labour for one or another reason with Bishop score of less than 6 were included in the study. All the cases were randomly divided into two groups, Group A received dinoprostone gel and Group B received hyaluronidase injection. Chi square test & unpaired T test were applied for statistical analysis.
Results: Time interval from induction to active phase of labour was comparatively shorter in group A than in group B (10.74 ± 6.17 vs 15.94 ± 7.1) and the difference was significant (p= 0.001). Time interval from induction to delivery time was comparatively shorter in group A than group B (14.84 ± 8.86 vs 21.33 ± 7.86) and difference was significant (P= 0.009). Maternal complications were more common in group A as compared to group B.
Conclusion: This study showed that labour could be accelerated significantly by intracervical injection of hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase injection has less maternal and fetal side-effects as compared to dinoprostone gel and can be a good choice for induction of labour.

Authors: Khodadadi Allahdad , Ghadiri Ata , Ghafourian Mehri , Iranparast Sara , Najaﬁan Mahin
Published: September 2022

Objective: Worldwide, preeclampsia (PE) is a multifactorial disorder reported in 2–5% of pregnancies, which increases mortality during pregnancy. In general, 10–15% of maternal deaths are directly related to PE and eclampsia. One of the susceptibility genes for PE is tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expressed by most immune cells. TNF-α is a protein involved in various biological processes, including proliferation and apoptosis, as well as the expression of inflammatory genes. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of TNF-α single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -308G/A (rs1800629) and their relationship with TNF-α in PE patients.
Materials and methods: The SNP was genotyped in 90 cases and 90 controls. Whole blood was collected from women with PE and normal pregnancy in EDTA containing tubes, and DNA extraction was performed from their blood lymphocytes according to a standard phenol-chloroform procedure. Then, DNA was genotyped by real-time PCR and the polymorphism was detected by TaqMan assay. Serum levels of TNF-α protein were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay.
Results: TNF-α levels in women with PE were significantly higher than in healthy ones (p<0.001). We did not observe any correlation between allelic outbreak (p=0.3) and TNF-α-308G/A polymorphism (p=0.7) with the incidence of PE.
Conclusion: Although TNF-α-308G/A gene polymorphism does not appear to affect susceptibility to PE, an increased level of serum TNF-α can be used as a predictor for PE during pregnancy. We recommend that more research be conducted on possible factors related to the incidence of PE.

This study is a typical case of monitoring 12 hop varieties selected from a collection of hop genetic resources, that were evaluated in the years 2009 to 2021. The assessed parameters were the hop yield and content of alpha acids with a focus on the variability/stability of this characteristics. Only the Pilgrim and Target hop varieties from England showed exceptional hop yield above 3 kg/plant. On the other hand, the lowest hop yield was obtained from the Saaz and Bramling Cross hop varieties, i.e. below 1.5 kg/plant. The lowest variability of hop yield – below 30% – was found in the Savinjski Golding, Bramling Cross and Saaz hop varieties. In contrast, the Bobek, Aurora, Pioneer and Phoenix hop varieties demonstrated the highest variability of hop yield, i.e. above 50%. Further, also Target and Phoenix have the highest content of alpha acids, namely 9.68% w/w and 9.56% w/w, respectively. The lowest content of alpha acids was determined in Saaz, which was the only hop variety with an alpha acid content below 3.0% w/w. The Premiant, Target and Aurora hop varieties exhibited a variability of alpha acid content below 20%. On the contrary, the Bobek and Pilgrim hop varieties had the highest variability of alpha acid content, namely above 30%.

When controlling a UAV, we have to rely on the line of site of the operator and aft wards on the communication with the ground control station. This implies expensive equipment used in communication, a skilled operator and a UAV with low autonomy. In order to address these issues an automated piloting system needs to be implemented thus offering the needed autonomy to the UAV. An automated pilot can also stabilize the aircraft and allow for the control of the UAV to be done by people without intensive training or special skills. In the present paper we present the development and implementation of such a system, built on Cube Orange flight controller, and implemented on a fixed-wing UAV with twin-engines, fabricated using additive manufacture technologies.

Authors:   War Studies University, Poland, D. BELSKI Jakub
Published: September 2022

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are associations of people who are not content to be mere observers. This makes it possible to develop the human race and engage it in activities, the implementation of which would be difficult or impossible without the involvement of active members of society. [1] The situation of the conflict in Ukraine illustrated the necessity of tightening cooperation between state institutions and non-governmental organisations. Developing procedures for cooperation, and not only defining the necessity of cooperation, is necessary to avoid crises and effectively assist those who need support. NGOs can be there, where powerful state systems are not able to reach, and thus are not able to provide assistance, which implies a lack of security. The aim of this article is to show that NGOs are an added value to the system of security management, but there are no systemic solutions that would enable them to use their full potential. At the same time the content of the article answers the following research problem: To what extent are non-governmental organizations are able to ensure the security of the Polish state on the example of the refugee crisis of the Ukrainian-Russian war? In relation to the main problem, the hypothesis was adopted that on the example of the refugee crisis of the Ukrainian-Russian war, NGOs are able to ensure the security of the Polish state with the tools they have, but there is a need for legislative action is needed to enable NGOs to participate more in this area. The adopted hypothesis was positively verified in the course of the analyses. The research used the method of analysis, synthesis and abstraction.

The aim of this paper is to analyse and identify both contemporary and future possibilities for the development of territorial defence. The main research problem of the paper is: What elements will play a key role during territorial defence? For the realization of such an aim and providing answers to research problems, methods of analysis of the current conflict in Ukraine were applied, especially the means used by the Ukrainian side/

Can PDIA be Used at a Strategic Level in Multi-Donor Trust Funds and Across Various Phases of Downstream Projects?
Authors: Richards Robin
Published: September 2022

This rapid review investigated whether PDIA can be used successfully in Multi-Donor Trust Funds (MDTF) at a strategic level and also across various phases of downstream projects (Verheijen, 2017 and World Bank 2018). The review also identified best practices across the whole programme iteration cycle. The review found that PDIA can be successfully used in MDTF’s and across the various phases of downstream projects. There were few examples illustrating the use the PDIA approach in Multi-Donor Trust Fund interventions. The body of published research on the use of PDIA was relatively small. However, there was more literature on the use of PDIA in large scale interventions generally at system-wide level and lower down, at project level. Literature was mainly from grey sources, including case studies published by organisations; reports from multi-donor projects; university projects; online blogs; and annual reports from development and funding organisations. Sources for the review were quite recent, between the periods 2010-2021.
What Accountability Means in Somalia
Authors: Kelly Luke
Published: September 2022

This rapid literature review finds that accountability programming in Somalia is focused on working effectively with the country’s hybrid governance. A number of programmes have generated findings on the potential of non-state actors to improve accountability, with a focus on contextual analysis and adaptive programming. Accountability is defined as mechanisms to hold people in power to account according to an agreed standard. Improving accountability may be difficult in fragile and conflict-affected states such as Somalia where power is dispersed and informal. Somalia is commonly described as a hybrid political order. Regions in Somalia have more and less robust governments and non-state actors have a number of important but informal roles in governance. Moreover, the prevalence of clan-based politics and patriarchal norms limits the inclusivity of accountability mechanisms, with women and members of minority clans among those commonly excluded. This report is focused on accountability in governance. It surveys both evidence on the status and contours of accountability in Somalia, and on programmes to improve accountability. It is based on evidence from the Implementation and Analysis in Action of Accountability Programme (IAAAP) Somalia programme, as well as other relevant programmes. It describes the findings on the barriers and enablers to greater accountability in Somalia, as well as lessons on implementing programmes. It does not survey every accountability programme, or programme with accountability components, but instead focused on published evaluations and evidence syntheses. Several programmes, such as IAAAP, have sought to research, improve and learn lessons on accountability in Somalia. IAAAP ran from 2013 to 2019 and had a budget of GBP 23 million. It worked as an innovation laboratory to test models for greater accountability through adaptive programming. IAAAP worked on different themes, including civil society-state engagement, financial flows and extractive industries.

A construção da genealogia de Foucault a partir de Nietzsche
Authors: Figueiredo Rodrigo de Oliveira
Published: September 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar o tratamento dado por Foucault ao tema da produção dos sujeitos e objetos do conhecimento.  A partir de conceitos fundamentais de Foucault como saber, poder, prática e discurso, procuro ressaltar a influência que os textos de Nietzsche dedicados ao conhecimento tiveram sobre a abordagem genealógica foucaultiana. Passando por alguns textos de teor metodológico de Foucault, pretendo mostrar como a sua genealogia é marcada por uma crítica do conhecimento em que se questiona, a partir de uma perspectiva nietzschiana, o estatuto da relação entre sujeito e objeto e os modos de constituição da verdade são questionados.

Justifying a conflict over the Guarani Aquifer
Authors: Nobre Augusto Gonçalves , Camões Beatriz Martins
Published: September 2022

This article deals with the justification of water-related conflicts by analyzing a hypothetical war for Guarani Aquifer resources. In disagreement, a theoretical framework would be needed to justify war. First, Walzer’s version of Just War Theory (JWT) is presented as the most consolidated reference. Then, Waddington’s criticism of JWT is discussed when it comes to hydric resources, delineating the particularities of a natural resource and establishing that the “moral weight of water scarcity” should be considered. Following this, the hypothetical conflict among countries is introduced. Finally, pragmatism is advocated for justification of conflicts involving water.
