Authors: Gupta Kunal , Deka Saurav , Chandolia Betina
Published: January 2022

Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) versus combination of OADs along with insulin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in which data was extracted from the electronic medical records. Two groups were formed, Group I comprised of nineteen patients who were prescribed OADs while in Group II, five patients were prescribed combination of OADs and insulin therapy from January 2020 to June 2021. Blood glucose parameters (HbA1c, FBS, PPBS) were noted at baseline and subsequent next three follow-ups. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 26.0.
Results: The diabetic patients on the combination therapy showed better improvement as compared to the diabetic patients who were prescribed only OADs. However, the differences between the blood glucose parameters were found to be non-significant.
Conclusion: In the case of patients where targeted glucose levels are not achieved with OADs alone, combination therapy can be prescribed comprising of OADs and insulin therapy to get better-controlled results.

Keywords: Oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs), combination of OADs & insulin, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, T2DM, diabetic patients.

Recently audio and video material has been used significantly in various online platforms. The audio-video materials enhance the teaching and learning process by facilitating the transformation of the data and providing a richer interactive environment, hence gaining wide intention within the educational realm. However, empirical studies have not examined the acceptance of the audio and video material depending on a conceptual model where acceptance is the key factor. The present study attempts to overcome this gap in the literature review by investigating the effects of media richness, speed and vividness, perceived concentration, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness on the acceptance of audio-video material. What distinguishes the current study is the fact that content richness is considered as a mediator that affects all other factors in the conceptual model. The data is collected by distributing the online survey to college students. The results provide mostly insight and support for students’ intention to use audio-visual resources in a conceptual model. The technology characteristics of speed and vividness as well as TAM constructs were significant predictors of technology acceptance. However, it is concluded that the external factor of the perceived concentration has no impact on the students’ perception and intention to use audio-visual resources. In the recommendation, some theoretical and practical implications are stated along with the focus on technology designers, change managers, and users.

Authors: Tarigan Zeplin Jiwa Husada , Jonathan Michelle , Siagian Hotlan , Basana Sautma Ronni
Published: January 2022

The use of mobile payments has become a public interest during the current spread of the coronavirus. The use of mobile payments prevents society from touching the payment media. This study examines the effect of ease of use on e-WOM through the intention to use and social media community on the mobile payment method. This research was conducted by taking data through closed questionnaires designed with a five-point Likert scale. This study distributed two hundred fifty questionnaires, and 202 returned to be processed using the partial least square (PLS) technique. The results of data processing show that the ease of use of technology applications had a positive effect on the intention to use an e-WOM. Ease of use of technology has a positive effect on the social media community because of the ease of operation and understanding of the steps for using technology to access and join as members of the social media community. Intention to use in the operation of technology and relatively low cost does not directly affect e-WOM but must go through a community on social media that provides an exciting atmosphere. The social media community has a significant effect on e-WOM. The social media community can share information on social media and share reviews between members so that it creates a sense of trust and mutual concern among members. This study provides an insight into the mobile payment provider to consider the ease of use of their design. This research contributes to the ongoing research in the online payment application study in the pandemic era.

Published: January 2022

Social media technology as borderless media has made it easier for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to interact with their customers. The application of social media has impacted the operation and information sharing of SMEs, allowing them to develop innovation opportunities, to meet customer needs, and to improve firm performance. This study examined the influence of social media use on business networking quality and product innovativeness of SMEs. The data for this cross-sectional study were gathered from jewelry crafting SMEs in Bali, Indonesia using the survey method. The data were analyzed using the covariance-based statistical analysis technique with SPSS via AMOS 23. The results indicate that, while the direct link between social media adoption and firm performance is not significant, this path is fully mediated through business networking quality and product innovativeness. Hence, these SMEs should leverage their social media adoption due to strong business networking quality and product innovativeness enabling competitive advantage that heightens firm performance. Firm-level product innovation can harness the economic performance of the SMEs. The study limitations and future research endeavors are presented at the end of this paper.

Authors: Elejalde Denise Adelaide Gomes , Brugnara Soares André , Zatta Angélica Caroline , Kieling Severo Igor , Schmitt Daniel , Chiamulera Deifeld Felipe Luiz
Published: January 2022

O manejo de desfolha possui como um dos principais objetivos o rebrote vigoroso após o rebaixamento, uma vez que a área foliar remanescente possui alta correlação com o potencial de rebrote dos pastos. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de intervenções pontuais de alta severidade (70%) sobre características produtivas de pastos de azevém anual manejados sob desfolhações intermitentes. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná. Os tratamentos consistiram de quatro estratégias de desfolha a partir de uma única altura de entrada (20cm): severidade constante de 40%; severidade de 40% com intervenções pontuais de 70%
no segundo corte; severidade de 40% com intervenções pontuais de 70% no quarto corte; e severidades de 40% e 70% intercaladas. Os tratamentos foram aplicados em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com três repetições, totalizando 12 unidades experimentais. Foram avaliadas as variáveis de interceptação de radiação solar, produção de forragem e
características morfogênicas (taxa de aparecimento foliar, filocrono, taxa de alongamento foliar e taxa de senescência foliar). A interceptação de radiação solar pré desfolha não diferiu entre os tratamentos, apenas na situação pós desfolha. Para as características morfogênicas os tratamentos com alta severidade de desfolha, apresentaram os maiores valores morfogênicos. A produção de forragem não diferiu entre os tratamentos. Dentro das condições aplicadas no presente estudo (i.e. altura pré-corte), intervenções pontuais de alta severidade (70%) não afetam a capacidade produtiva do azevém anual.

Authors: Rukhsana Bibi , Naeemullah Dr Muhammad , Rehman Dr Sajid
Published: January 2022

The research was conducted to explore the effect of experiential learning on students’ motivation and interest at elementary levels in the subject of General Science. The purposes of research were, (i) to measure the influence of experiential studying on student’s motivation towards learning, (ii) to examine the influence of experiential learning on student’s interest toward learning. The null hypothesis were designed to test the objectives as (i) there was no meaningful difference among the motivation of experimental groups and control groups, (ii) no significant difference was there between the mean scores of experimental group and control group on post-test. The 5th class students of WAPDA Senior Model School Tarbela Dam Project was taken randomly as example of research. The research was experimental in nature. The pretest, posttest Equivalent Group Designs was used. Both experimental and control groups had equated upon the footing of researcher made pre-test scores. Both groups were exposed to same course but their style of learning was different. Experiential learning method was selected for experimental group for the period of six weeks duration. Researcher made pretest, posttest and observations sheets used as data collection tools. The data was investigated by employing mean score and t-test. Results indicate that the students of experimental group was more motivated resultantly they performed significantly better than control groups upon posttest presenting the supremacy of the experiential learning upon old-style learning. It was found through observation sheet that experiential learning developed strong motivation and interest in experimental group students. It was concluded that experiential learning was effective in teaching science at elementary grade. It was recommended that the teachers should be trained to teach students by experiential learning. The training institution should train the teachers to use different methods of teaching such as experiential learning. In this way all the students’ motivation and interest will increase. Resultantly students’ academic performance will also increase.

Forecasting Electricity Load Demand- An Power System Planning
Authors: Berg Elektrotechnik
Published: January 2022

Moving holiday electricity load demand forecasting is one of the most challenging topics in the forecasting area. Forecasting electricity load demand is essential because it involves projecting the peak demand level. Overestimation of future loads results in excess supply. Wastage of this load is not welcome by the international energy network. An underestimation of load leads to failure in providing adequate reserve, implying high costs. Many factors can influence the electricity load demand, such as previous load demand, type of the day, coincidence with other holidays and the impact of major events. Hence, 12 independent variables were considered in constructing the regression model to forecast moving holiday electricity load demand. This study investigates Malaysia’s daily electricity load demand data using multiple linear regression to forecast electricity load demand on moving holidays, such as Hari Raya AidilFitri, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya AidilAdha, and Deepavali from September 2016 to October 2017. The result shows six independent variables are significant from the several method variables selections. Overall, the constructed models from this study give promising results and can forecast for next year’s moving holiday electricity load demand with a sample forecasting error of 3.7% on the day of the moving holiday.

El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto de la aplicación de estiércol de ovino (EO) en el rendimiento de papa (Solanum tuberosum), para determinar la dosis adecuada a aplicar en el cultivo de papa variedad “canchan” en Acobamba, Huancavelica. Ante la problemática de que no se tiene una dosis óptima para cubrir la demanda de nutrientes para una mejor producción de papa en la aplicación de enmiendas orgánicas de EO, toda vez que la papa requiere alta cantidad de nutrientes, ya que absorbe 20, 240, 220, 60 y 20 Kg ha-1 de P, K, N, Ca y Mg, respectivamente, se trabajó en cinco tratamientos con tres repeticiones mediante el diseño DBCA, realizando el ANVA con la prueba de Duncan. Los tratamientos: T1 = 0 kg EO/planta, T2 = 0, 25 kg EO/planta, T3 = 0,50 kg EO/planta, T4 = 1 kg EO/planta y T5 = 1, 5 kg EO/planta, correspondiendo el mayor rendimiento al T5 con 20, 31 ton/ha, no hay diferencia estadística entre el T4 con 18,29 ton/ha con el T3 con 17, 06 ton/ha, con el T2 se obtuvo 14, 40 ton/ha, mientras que con el T1 se consiguió 11, 89 ton/ha. Se consigue mayor rentabilidad económica con las dosis de 0,50 kg y de 0,25 kg de EO por planta.

A field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soil during the two rabi seasons at research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, to study the effect of different irrigation levels viz., no post sowing irrigation, two irrigations at 22 and 85 days after sowing (DAS), four irrigations at 22, 45, 85 and 105 DAS, and six irrigations at 22, 45, 65, 85, 105 and 120 DAS, and four fertilizer levels (0, 75, 100 and 125 per cent of the recommended dose of 150 kg N and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1) on yield and uptake of NPK of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) intercropped with 4-5 years old plantation of Eucalyptus tereticornis (6 x 2 m) vis-à-vis sole Wheat. In Eucalyptus based Agroforestry System, application of six irrigations and 125 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizer resulted in higher grain and straw yield of Wheat, whereas in sole Wheat significantly higher grain and straw yield of Wheat was recorded only up to two irrigations and 100 per cent of recommended fertilizer dose. The maximum uptake of N P K was recorded at six irrigations and 125 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer in Eucalyptus based Agroforestry System. The N P K uptake in sole Wheat also increased with increase in fertilizer levels, however, irrigation frequency effects varied with the nutrient.

Authors: Jose P.A. , Pandurangan A.G.
Published: January 2022

The seeds of Gluta travancorica, tend to lose its viability within a month under ambient conditions and the sensitivity of the seeds towards desiccation and chilling environments indicating the recalcitrant nature. The seeds with initial 50% moisture content could remain viable upto 17 months by maintaining the critical moisture content between 40 - 42% during storage in controlled conditions, 20 ± 2º C & 40% RH. The storage practice thus standardized could be adopted as a promising method for the germplasm preservation and subsequent multiplication for the conservation and sustainable utilization of the species for the posterity.

The present study was carried out in six temple forest landscapes in Garhwal Himalayan region of Uttarakhand State in India. The six studied landscapes fall within the four districts of Garhwal Himalaya and are dominated by temperate vegetation. Biodiversity value and ecosystem services provided by these forests are based on both, discussions with local inhabitants and secondary available literature. A total of 257 plant species representing 179 genera belonging to 77 families were recorded from study area. Maximum number of species 119 were present in Ansuiya Devi, whereas lowest 80 were present in Chanderbadni. Out of 201 plant species, having different biodiversity value, 121 are of medicinal importance. Presence of sacred entities has reduced the utilization pressure of resources like fuel wood, fodder and timber from these forests. However the services provided by these landscapes in the form of ecotourism, cultural and traditional heritage conservation may benefit them in sustainable utilization of resources in future.

Published: January 2022

Educational institutions are characterised by cultural and institutional racism that is embedded in their structural systems, curriculum and practices that negatively impact the social and academic experiences of racial minority students. Prejudice and discrimination are rooted in hierarchies whereby some cases evidence one directional oppression of a racial group by the dominant or majority group. The study aimed at exploring challenges faced by racial minority students at Justus-Liebig University and North-West University. The study utilized a qualitative research approach in order understand the opinions, experiences and views of racial minority students about their campus realities. Fourteen in-depth interviews were undertaken with racial minority students and findings were analysed through content thematic analysis. The findings revealed that challenges faced by minority racial students from Justus-Lieberg University and North West University were similar. The challenges include but are not limited to; difficulties with interaction with the racial majority group, academic stressors like failure to adapt to high workload, adaptation to the academic climate, language and cultural barriers. This study calls for the development of new policies that pursue a restructuring of the campus environment to make it beneficial to all students. There is a need for universities to establish and maintain inclusive educational programs and policies that can assist minority students to be integrated into the academic systems.

A era das criptomoedas e o direito sucessório: reflexos na (in)transmissibilidade do patrimônio
Authors: Barbosa Eduardo Henrique de Oliveira , Lima Taisa Maria Macena de , Alencar Maria Clara Souza
Published: January 2022

As tecnologias vêm sendo desenvolvidas com uma evolução pioneira, nunca antes experimentada pela sociedade. Conforme surgem e impactam a população, precisam ser reguladas pelos países, evitando prejuízos a terceiros, em razão da omissão legislativa. Acerca do tema, aborda-se as principais características das criptomoedas; como estão sendo tratadas e reguladas por outros países; sua relação com o direito sucessório brasileiro; seus reflexos na legítima; os impasses da herança digital e assuntos correlatos. Como metodologia, utiliza-se o método teórico exploratório. Diante da recente criação das criptomoedas, muitos dispositivos legislativos ainda precisam ser alterados para que se adéquem à nova realidade. Exemplo do exposto é o direito sucessório brasileiro, que não possui dispositivos com o fim de regular a transferência patrimonial expressa em criptomoedas, uma realidade vivida por vários brasileiros. Ademais, destaca-se que o patrimônio em criptomoeda é apenas uma modalidade de herança digital, não atendida pela legislação, que se apresenta obsoleta. Percebe-se que uma atualização legal se faz necessária, para que as leis correspondam à realidade fática vivida pela população. É imprescindível que se estude as novas tecnologias: entender as criptomoedas é a única ferramenta eficaz contra a desinformação e as distorções sobre a temática, que é uma realidade do mundo contemporâneo.
ANALYSIS OF SOURCES OF FUNDS FOR INDONESIAN ISLAMIC BANKS
Authors: Zulkifli Hasibuan Mhd , Siregar Saparuddin , Sugianto Sugianto
Published: January 2022

Islamic banks are banks that carry out business activities based on sharia principles, or Islamic legal principles regulated in the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council such as the principles of justice and balance ('adl wa tawazun), benefit (maslahah), universalism (natural ), and do not contain gharar, maysir, usury, injustice and unlawful objects. Funds can also be obtained from own capital, namely by issuing or selling shares. Acquisition of funds is also adjusted to the purpose of the use of these funds. The selection of funding sources will determine the size of the costs borne. Therefore, the selection of sources of funds must be done properly. If the purpose of obtaining funds is for daily activities, the source is clearly different from if the bank wants to make a new investment or to expand a business. Funds needed for the bank's main activities are obtained in various deposits, whereas if the funds needed are used for new investments or business expansion, they are obtained from own capital.
