Authors: NAIR J. RAJASEKHARAN , SHERIEF P.M.
Published: October 2022

The study was designed to arrive at an experimentally-determined application factor for fixing tentative water quality criteria for phenol in tropical freshwaters. Larval rohu Labeo rohita (14-18 mm total length, 118-139 mg wet weight) were subjected to static lethal bioassay. The 24-h LC50 value was found to be 32 mg·L· 1 at 29±1 °C. Juvenile rohu (26-33 mm total length, 226-273 mg wet weight) were exposed to sublethal phenol concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 2, 5 and 10 mg•L·1) for 28 d at 29±1°C without aeration. Treatment media were replaced every 48 h. Fish were fed a pelleted diet at 6% wet body weight per day. Rohu exposed to 5 and 10 mg•l·1 phenol showed significantly lower mean wet weight gain, specific growth rate, food conversion efficiency, and dry matter and protein digestibility. These fish also had higher moisture content, and lower protein, lipid and ash contents, as body nutrients were depleted. Juveniles exposed to the lower phenol concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 2 mg·l·1 were not significantly different from the control. The maximum allowable toxicant concentration for juvenile rohu was 3.16 mg·I-1, indicating an application factor of 0.10.

Published: October 2022

Results of the study conducted on the reproductive biology of Leiognathus brevirostris (Valenciennes) from the northwestern coastal waters of Sri Lanka (latitude 6-10° N and longitude 80-82° E) during the period November 1992 to October 1993 are presented. The length at 50% maturity for the males and females were estimated to be 79 and 81 mm, respectively. Statistical analysis indicates that the overall sex ratio is significantly different from 1:1 almost throughout the study period except in November 1992 and January 1993. During the rest of the period it seems that females predominate. There is a significant difference from 1:1 sex ration for the size range studies. The predominance of females above the total length 89 mm suggests either a possibility of greater natural mortality rate in males after attaining a total length of 89 mm or they may have a behavioral pattern of separating from the females after attaining an age corresponding to this size. The study indicates the possibility of two recruitment and spawning pulses separated by five and four months, respectively. The fecundity as the number of eggs that are to be shed was esti­mated to vary between 12,335 and 18,333 for fish of the size range 95 mm to 115 mm.

Authors: Haque Marissa Grace , Hindrati Detty
Published: October 2022

Japanese restaurants in DKI Jakarta, West Java, Banten Provinces are growing rapidly, preferred by many Indonesians, in line with the existence of halal assurance rules and regulations in Indonesia under the law of UU No.33 Tahun 2014 and the government regulations of PP No.31 Tahun 2019 which provide guar-anteed halal certainty for products and services. There are two types of Japanese restaurants in Indonesia, the one which is certified with the MUI halal logo and the other one which doesn't. The purpose of this research is to know whether there are some influences to the consumer awareness and knowledge, MUI halal logo, and religiosity to its buying decision at Japanese restaurants in three provinces mentioned, and to become lifestyle. Design/Research Methods SEM PLS approach is used to determine the samples car-ried in the test, and elaborate them with descriptive and verification approaches, through explanatory sur-vey to describe the causal relationship between variables. Research results shows that the people of three provinces mentioned, their decision to buy at Japanese restaurants has an obvious significant influence by its religiosity aspect, as well as on the MUI halal logo. Whereas, awareness and knowledge variable have the least result and in-significant influence to the decision to buy that influence the lifestyle. Discussion: It is an urgent situation in Indonesia to speed up the Indonesia halal assurance information dissemination, especially when the law of UU.No.33 Tahun 2014 on 17 October 2019 and PP No.31 Tahun 2019 have been officially enacted, and legal sanctions will soon be implemented.
The analysis of the variability of morphogenetic traits in the populations of Helix pomatia (Linnaeus, 1758) from Belgorod and Lugansk regions
Authors: Artemchuk O. Yu. , Snegin E. A.
Published: October 2022

The state of three populations of the adventitious species H. pomatia was studied on the basis of conchiometric, phenetic and genetic methods. According to the obtained data, the two newly described populations from the Belgorod and Lugansk regions differ both in metric and morphological indicators, as well as in the frequencies of alleles of isoenzyme loci. The reason for such disparity may be genetic-automatic processes, natural selection in newly developed territories, as well as chaotic invasion from various localities, either from native range, or from nearby biotopes.
Convolutional Neural Network based Visual Servoing for Eye-to-Hand Manipulator
Authors: Tokuda Fuyuki , Arai Shogo , Kosuge Kazuhiro
Published: October 2022

We propose a CNN based visual servoing scheme for precise positioning of an eye-to-hand manipulator in which the control input of a robot is calculated directly from images by a neural network. In this paper, we propose Difference of Encoded Features driven Interaction matrix Network (DEFINet), a new convolutional neural network (CNN), for eye-to-hand visual servoing. DEFINet estimates a relative pose between desired and current end-effector from desired and current images captured by an eye-to-hand camera. DEFINet includes two branches of the same CNN that share weights and encode target and current images, which is inspired by the architecture of Siamese network. Regression of the relative pose from the difference of the encoded target and current image features leads to a high positioning accuracy of visual servoing using DEFINet. The training dataset is generated from sample data collected by operating a manipulator randomly in task space. The performance of the proposed visual servoing is evaluated through numerical simulation and experiments using a six-DOF industrial manipulator in a real environment. Both simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Authors: Shaw Mr. Chandan , Mukherjee Mr. Ashoke
Published: October 2022

The present study aimed to assess male and female Taekwondo (TKD) players based on four domains of World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) -BREF and to find the dominant domain in TKD players' life. Forty-six (46) male and fifty-five (55) female participants were included in the study through purposive random sampling. The information on four quality of life domains, i.e., physical health, psychological, social relationship, and environment, were gathered through the WHOQOL-BREF Bengali version (WHO, 2020) questionnaire. The researchers analysied the data through descriptive analysis, ANOVA, LSD, and students' t-tests at 0.05 level of significance. The analysis revealed that irrespective of Gender, the social relation domain plays a dominant role in TKD players' life, and the male TKD players are better than their female counterparts in the physical health domain only. Based on the result, we concluded that regular practice and participation in the TKD program help the participant to develop all four aspects of WHOQOL-BREF. Among the four domains, the participants scored significantly better in the social relation domain in both gender groups. The interpersonal relations and interaction among the players during a practice session and competition may be the possible reason behind such kind of result. In the inter-group comparison, the male participants responded significantly better in the physical health domain than the female participants, possibly because of some physical and physiological gender differences.

The main problem studied in this research is what are the weaknesses in the Enforcement of Corruption Act in Indonesia and how the legal construction based on justice value using a constructivism paradigm with a sociological juridical approach to solve research problems by examining secondary data and primary data by finding the legal reality experienced in the field as well as qualitative descriptive methods, namely where the data obtained are then arranged systematically so that a comprehensive picture will be obtained, where later the data will be presented descriptively. The Result Shows that The weaknesses of criminal justice regulations against corruption in the Indonesian legal system consist of the Substance Factors of the Supreme Court Law No. 1 of 2020 only limit the scope of application of Article 2 and Article 3 of the Law, The Legal Structure Factor, namely the composition of the Corruption Court judges, which consists of career judges and ad hoc judges, often does not focus on handling corruption cases because there are career judges who also handle other cases, And then The legal culture factor, that is the attitude of the people who regard corruption cases as a thing of the past and ignorant, the strong culture of reluctance. In order to tackle this, It is necessary to reconstruct the criminal justice regulations against corruption in order to realize fair law enforcement, namely through the establishment of a new permanent expansion of PERMA No. 1 of 2020 concerning Guidelines for the Criminalization of Article 2 and Article 3 of the Corruption Law in order to better reach other articles of corruption and reconstruct Article 10 paragraph (5) of Law No. 46 of 2009 concerning the Corruption Act Court to "The term of office of ad hoc judges is for a period of 5 (five) years and is proposed to be reappointed every 5 (five) years by the Supreme Court".

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in developing countries and the second most common form of cancer in the world as a whole. An estimated 468,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 233,000 deaths occurred in the year 2000. Cervical cancer constitutes about 26 % of female cancer in different areas of Bangladesh. Objective: To find out the role of VIA for the detection of precancerous and early cancerous lesions of the cervix with co-relation of Colposcopic findings and ultimate. Methods: A prospective study was conducted from January, 2010 to June 2010 on 100 women attending at the "Colposcopy Clinic" of Gynae Oncology Division of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of BSMMU, Dhaka. Only VIA positive cases were taken into consideration for the study. Results: The mean age of the participants were 33.39 years (range 18-60) with 41.0 % in the age group between 36-45 years. Among all the subjects, the majority (75%) was housewives and 70.0% the patients hailed from urban area. The yearly incomes of 46% families were between 50,000 to 60,000 Tk. The mean parity of the respondents was 1.75 and 4. More than 4 children were found in 14% cases. Up to 35.0% had 2 children only. About 46.0 % had experienced menarche at the age 13 years and the range was 12-14 years. In regard to risk factors, 64% used hormonal methods. Among the participants 80% experienced first coitus of age between 13-20 years. Excessive vaginal discharge and backache were the principal complaints. Colposcopy evaluated 65 cases as CIN (CIN I 34 %, CIN 11-17%, CIN-III 14%) and 3.0% as invasive lesions. Biopsy evaluated 45% as CIN (CIN I-20% CIN-15%, CIN-III 10%) and 1% as invasive lesions. The sensitivity and specificity of colposcopy were 82.14 % and 50.00% respectively. This suggests the role of colposcopy in the evaluation of CIN and cervical cancer. Conclusion: The study concludes that the VIA and colposcopy are the important methods of diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of cervical pre-malignancy. VIA may be used as a tool for screening in underdeveloped countries and may be associated with a referral procedure for further methods like colposcopy and biopsy. Colposcopy is an indispensable procedure in the evaluation of unhealthy cervix through it requires considerable training and experience.

Published: October 2022

A syndrome described as "hurried child syndrome"—a combination of stress-related behaviors—may develop when a child's parents expect performance levels much above his or her mental, social, or emotional capacity. In essence, parents overbook their children's calendars, put pressure on them to succeed academically, and expect them to act and react like young adults. The current situation of trade is another factor. Many people that market to children today are aware that their parents no longer have complete control over what their children eat, wear, or engage in for entertainment. The consumerist economy is taking advantage of this reality, and it affects children. The following statistics serve as an example of the "hurried child syndrome": The suicide and homicide rates have increased by three times over the previous 20 years, childhood obesity has increased by half, and 15 to 25 percent of young children are "failing" kindergarten, according to recent research on the effects of rushed kid syndrome. In an effort to "manage" them better at home and at school, millions of children take drugs. According to recent data, 70% of virgin girls will not remain virgins by the time they reach maturity, and 40% of adolescent girls who engage in sexual activity will become pregnant by then. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is the main cause of death for young people today, but suicide rates are also rising. Every year, 5,000 teenagers take their own lives.

Desta forma, o objetivo deste capítulo reside em apresentar uma proposta de formação para pesquisadores qualitativos em curadoria digital com a exploração de Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software CAQDAS, a partir do desenvolvimento de competências. Para alcançar tal objetivo, o capítulo está organizado em três seções, sendo a primeira a introdução; a segunda, a articulação entre curadoria digital e CAQDAS, no intuito de discorrer sobre algumas das principais concepções sobre curadoria digital, de modo a elucidar e aproximar o tema na organização e gestão de dados em CAQDAS; a terceira, a proposta de formação de curadoria digital em CAQDAS, a qual optou-se por trabalhar, a partir do modelo de aprendizagem híbrido denominado Self-Blend, utilizando o Modelo de Curadoria de Conteúdo Digital na Educação e o Framework DigCompEdu, mais especificamente a Área 2 – Recursos digitais. Por fim, as considerações finais, revelam possibilidades de diálogo entre o processo curadoria digital e os CAQDAS, emergindo uma nova proposta de formação. Uma formação voltada às demandas e atribuições do pesquisador, que precisa ser preparado para assumir tal responsabilidade. Além de limitações, as quais estão relacionadas à própria formação, a qual encontra-se em fase de desenvolvimento.
Identity and agency in South Africa
Authors: Tavernaro-Haidarian Leyla
Published: October 2022

It is often assumed that a sense of interconnectedness with others and a common identity, suchas that associated with the idea of “rainbowism”, can only be achieved after a host of socialinjustices, inequities and other material problems have somehow been addressed. Related to this,Western social theory proposes that addressing these problems requires mobilising op/positionalidentities that can free individuals from their constraints. Yet if we are to suppose that identityshapes our very interests, then the converse might be true. Social injustices, inequities and othermaterial problems may only be resolved once a sense of relatedness and interconnectivity withthe community at large is established. In this article I show how the African moral theory of ubuntucan help us achieve this by contributing to understandings of identity and agency that work inconcert with systems and structures and towards shared ends. Hence, while theorists largelyfocus on the potential of identity to confront wanting social realities and to create freedom fromconstraint, I suggest that through ubuntu, identity can be reimagined as mutualistic and symbioticwith social organisation – enabling, as a result, more equity and justice. Critical of false andmisappropriated manifestations of unity, my article contributes to a novel understanding of therelationship between identity and agency towards reimagined notions of rainbowism.

Due to the rapid advancement of new technologies in business, marketers’ dependency on usergeneratedcontent (UGC) is rising. This study therefore seeks to elucidate the importance of usergeneratedcontent in creating sales and establishing relationships with customers. Conveniencenon-probability sampling was adopted in selecting 330 participants. In addition, structuralequation modelling was used in testing proposed hypotheses. Findings reveal that there is apositive relationship between the use of UGC, brand trust and purchase intention. However, itis observed that subjective norms, information quality and source credibility affect the use ofUGC for decision making. The main recommendation is that it is imperative for marketers to becognisant of their online audience and engage with customers online. Overall, this study will aidmarketers in the comprehension of the factors associated with brand trust and purchase intentionin relation to UGC advertising.

Предлагается при расчете напряженно-деформированного состояния дорожной одежды, состоящей из асфальтобетонного и грунтобетонного низлежащего слоя учитывать работу обработанных гранул основания. Это позволяет учитывать влияние толщины пленки вяжущего на гранулах смеси на напряженно-деформируемое состояние сформированного слоя при замерзании-оттаивании воды в порах. В данной статье рассмотрена физическая модель возникновения приращения поры при замерзании воды в ней и возникновения усилий между гранулами, покрытыми органическим вяжущим при различных размерах пор. Получено, что оптимальная толщина пленки стандартного вяжущего составляет 50-150 мкм при условиях стандартного фракционного состава. Уменьшение зазоров между частицами грунтобетонной смеси снижает количество накопленной воды, но одновременно увеличивает внутренние напряжения внутри материала при замораживании. Наличие пленки полимерного вяжущего на гранулах снижает внутренние напряжения в структуре материала. Показано, что прочность слоя уменьшается при положительном градиенте температур фазового состояния льда в порах слоя (таянии).

It is proposed to take into account the work of the treated granules of the base when calculating the stress-strain state of the pavement consisting of asphalt concrete and ground concrete of the underlying layer. This allows us to take into account the effect of the thickness of the binder film on the granules of the mixture on the stress-strain state of the formed layer during freezing-thawing of water in the pores. This article considers a physical model of the occurrence of pore increment when water freezes in it and the occurrence of forces between granules coated with organic binder at different pore sizes. It is found that the optimal film thickness of a standard binder is 50-150 microns under the conditions of a standard fractional composition. Reducing the gaps between the particles of the soil-concrete mixture reduces the amount of accumulated water, but at the same time increases the amount of internal stresses inside the material during freezing. The presence of a polymer binder film on the granules reduces internal stresses in the structure of the material. It is shown that the strength of the layer decreases with a positive temperature gradient of the phase state of ice in the pores of the layer (melting).

Published: October 2022

Прогибы многопролетной плоской статически определимой фермы с произвольным числом пролетов определяются в аналитической форме. Крайние опоры конструкции являются неподвижными шарнирами, средние - подвижными. Обнаруживается мгновенная изменяемость конструкции при четном числе пролетов. Для подтверждения этой особенности фермы находится соответствующая схема виртуальных скоростей узлов. Для определения прогиба используется формула Максвелла-Мора. Усилия в стержнях и реакции опор рассчитываются методом вырезания узлов в символьной форме с применением операторов системы символьной математики Maple. Приводятся аналитические зависимости усилий в некоторых стержнях, наиболее опасных с точки зрения потери устойчивости или прочности. Дается диаграмма распределения усилий по стержням фермы. Серия решений задачи о прогибе для ферм с различным числом пролетов обобщается на произвольное число пролетов индуктивным методом.

Deflections of a multi-span planar statically determined truss with an arbitrary number of spans are determined in an analytical form. The extreme supports of the structure are fixed hinges, the middle ones are movable. An instantaneous variability of the structure is found for an even number of spans. To confirm this feature of the truss, a corresponding scheme of virtual node speeds is found. To determine the deflection, the Maxwell - Mohr formula is used. The forces in the bars and the reactions of the supports are calculated by cutting out the nodes in symbolic form using the operators of the Maple symbolic mathematics system. Analytical dependences of forces in some rods, the most dangerous in terms of buckling or strength loss, are given. A diagram of the distribution of forces on the truss rods is given. A series of solutions to the deflection problem for trusses with different numbers of spans is generalized to an arbitrary number of spans by the inductive method.

A Contextualized Farm Management Information System
Authors: Chepken Christopher Kipchumba
Published: October 2022

Various Information Communication Technology (ICT) Agricultural initiatives implemented in Kenya have largely concentrated on the general farming set ups, ignoring the specific farm and Agricultural activities contexts. Literature review, sampling of ICT for Agriculture initiative (ICT4Agri) reports, and our knowledge on existing Agricultural Management Information Systems (AMISs) showed that a majority of the ICT4Agri for various farm management were general in nature and mostly facilitated information push towards farmers as opposed to allowing for a bidirectional flow of information. Only a few personalized and contextualized MISs for day-to-day management of farms existed. Besides their abundance, adoption, and use, challenges still exist due to the generalized nature in which system designers and developers conceptualize the ICT4Agri artefacts. With the objective of finding out if a more contextualized Agricultural farm Management Information System was better than the generalized Agricultural systems, we carried out an analysis of the current situation and designed, implemented, and tested a new integrated ICT4Agri dairy farm Management Information System. The system was co-designed with five purposefully selected ICT literate dairy farmers from the North rift counties of Kenya. Besides the presentation of the developed artefact, this paper presents the study results which showed that there is still need for compatible ICT agricultural systems which can allow farmers to process their own data by being allowed to have bidirectional movement of data and being able to create and use their own data. As a result, it was noted that there still exists a lot of opportunities for Agricultural digitization, especially if contextualization was to be factored in
