Introduction: The rate of cesarean sections is rising globally, with varying indications and outcomes. This study aims to analyze the indications and outcomes of emergency cesarean sections in a Bangladeshi context, focusing on maternal and neonatal health. Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at Netrokona Medical College, Bangladesh, from July 2021 to June 2022. It included 100 cases of emergency cesarean sections, excluding elective cases and those with incomplete records. Data on maternal age, gravidity, socioeconomic status, gestational age, BMI, indications for cesarean section, and maternal and neonatal outcomes were collected and analyzed. Result: The majority of cesarean sections were performed on women aged 21-30 (67%). The most common indication was a previous cesarean section (42%), followed by fetal distress (16%) and placenta previa (11%). Maternal outcomes showed 82% of women had no complications, with fever (12%) and excessive blood loss (8%) being the most common issues. Neonatal outcomes were generally positive, with 97% having APGAR scores ≥7. The gender distribution was 59% male and 41% female, and most neonates had normal or healthy birth weights. Conclusion: The study highlights a high prevalence of emergency cesarean sections among younger women, primarily due to previous cesarean sections. While maternal and neonatal outcomes were largely favorable, the presence of postoperative complications indicates the need for enhanced care. These findings underscore the importance of careful assessment in emergency cesarean sections and postoperative monitoring, particularly in resource-limited settings like Bangladesh.

Published: December 2023

This study compares traditional marketing modalities like farmers’ markets and innovative markets such as sales via phone app that are utilized by family farmers as short marketing channels, which are modalities that directly connect them to consumers. Through questionnaires and interviews with key informants, we investigated, characterized, and verified the geographic distribution and assessed the economic relevance and level of participation in various short marketing channels by family farmers. We found that diverse short channels exist in the sampled municipalities (7.18 channels per municipality, on average), and over a quarter of family farmers (26.25%) use them to sell their goods. Traditional short marketing channels are more common and more inclusive in terms of the number of farmers, and generate more income than the newer modes. Municipalities with more channels tended to promote a higher level of socio-productive inclusion for family farmers, since short channels were responsible for 25.74% of the productive income of the sampled group of farmers. Despite their diversity and frequent presence, short channels do not yet include the majority of family farmers and do not even represent their main source of income, and as a result should be considered as only one of many strategies to promote rural development.

On Some Engineering Mathematics and its Applications to Engineering Students by Overpass the Understanding Gap of Subject
Authors: - Dr. Babu Lal
Published: December 2023

The study of mathematics and its applications is taught in a wide range of university programmes, including those in engineering, economics, administration, computing, and many other scientific fields. Due to its application in the creation of mathematical models mathematics is a crucial subject for undergraduate engineering students to learn. As a result, a substantial portion of the engineering courses taken by students in all programmes require mathematics. To finish their engineering degrees, many students, however, struggle to connect and apply their mathematics understanding to the engineering concepts and issues that they must comprehend. There seems to be a substantial knowledge gap or disconnection between mathematics and engineering that has to be addressed in order for students to become proficient in applying and integrating mathematics in their engineering courses. From the perspective of a teacher who teaches engineering courses, this paper addresses these knowledge gaps between mathematics and engineering students with numerous examples and their solutions may find these instances and solutions helpful.

Independence of Independent Directors
Authors: - Abirami V , - Tejaswini S
Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION

A company is a legal entity of its own, but being an artificial person, they also constitute a body for controlling their affairs, which are the board of directors. A board of directors is the governing body of a company, whose members are elected by shareholders (in the case of public companies) to set strategy, oversee management, and protect the interests of shareholders and stakeholders. Every public company must have a board of directors. The independent director—also known as an outside director—is a member of a board of directors who brings a unique, unbiased perspective. The term “independent director” is commonly used to denote a director who's not an employee of the firm or organization where they serve on a board.

OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH

There are mainly two controlling bodies present in a company; Shareholders and the Board of Directors. The difference between the shareholders and directors is based on the formation and setup of the company. It is the basis of corporate governance where there is a separation of duties and responsibilities. Mainly the shareholders are the owners of the company or business they are they provide funds to the business in the form of capital. While the directors are the managers of the business, they are the decision-makers in the daily running of the business. While the shareholders have rights to their investments, the directors have responsibilities towards the shareholders and all the stakeholders. The significance of Independent directors is that they don’t have a conflict of interest with the companies where they serve. They bring unique expertise, perspective, and background to the boardroom table. And most importantly, they help maintain an objective viewpoint during decision-making. This paper tries to highlight the the importance of the unbiased outlook of the independent directors and how if that outlook is dismayed, the entire purpose gets defeated.

The independent directors’ main duties and responsibilities typically include: Protect the interests of all stakeholders, Balance the interests of all stakeholders while making deliberations.

The directors have fiduciary relationship with the shareholders and not the management. There are instances where the objectives of management differ from those of the wide body of shareholders. The non-executive directors must be able to speak up in the interest of the ultimate owners and discharge their fiduciary oversight functions. this is the reason that the independence has become such a critical issue in determining the composition of any Board.

CONCLUSION

This paper aims at critically examining the flaws in the functioning of the independent directors and how it affects the purpose of their creation through case studies and decided case laws.
The Impact of Medical Negligence on LGBTQIA+ Community
Authors: - Anita Samal , - Prayukta Katela
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
The umbrella phrase ‘medical negligence’ has gained popularity for describing wrongdoings committed by medical personnel while practicing their trade and interacting with patients. In none of the Indian laws that have been passed, the phrase is defined or even mentioned once. This article aims to describe the fundamental aspects of "medical negligence". Additionally, this article is meant to enlighten rather than debate the complex problems raised by the topic. Instead of being an exhaustive list of authorities, this article is informative and the methodology used is descriptive. Outlining some of the medical negligence histories, the general effects of medical negligence are described at the beginning of this article, followed by an outline of the fundamental elements of medical negligence, a description of the obligations of doctors, some examples, and the legal minimum standards of care. The article then discusses the type of information that must be given to the patient for consultation and treatment before coming to a conclusion with a mention of the general advice that the Supreme Court issued for doctors to heed as a precaution and the guidelines it issued to protect doctors from harassment if criminally prosecuted. In the end it suggests that bringing awareness in people's mind will not only help the people of the LGBTQIA+ Community feel safe in the society but also help them be their true self and reduce mental health stressors.

Inventory for Navajo Sedge, Carex specuicola, along Seeplines at Natural Bridges National Monument
Authors: Martin Lyra
Published: December 2023

Hanging gardens are an important part of the landscape at Natural Bridges National Monument (NABR) and are the most common type of spring within the park. These hanging gardens support a diversity of plant species including the federally listed threatened Navajo Sedge (Carex specuicola; CASP).

CASP is confined to seep and spring emergences in sandstone outcroppings in the Four Corners area. Populations of CASP are known throughout northern Arizona and in southern Utah just south of NABR. Much of the potential habitat in southern Utah has not been surveyed for the species. Occurrences of CASP within NABR are at the northernmost extent of CASP?s range in the region and are also unique because they are in a canyon that is tributary to the Colorado River rather than the San Juan River. Since the extent of CASP populations were largely unknown, the objective of this project was to conduct a follow up inventory for CASP at hanging gardens in NABR to help document occurrences of this species at NABR, its presence and absence in suitable habitat, and suggest sites to be incorporated into the regional monitoring program. Sites with positive occurrence of CASP could be targeted for increased protection by the park. Knowledge of these sites may also be used to advocate for management decisions such as the protection of water resources that recharge the springs of CASP habitat.

This project resurveyed 64 previously known hanging gardens for CASP and documented and surveyed 26 new seeps found near the existing sites. CASP was not detected at the majority of sites. Four suspected CASP occurrences were documented, two of which had not been previously documented. Data and clippings of the leaves were taken from all new, suspected, or previously known CASP populations for genetic analysis. Genetic analysis of leaf specimens collected at Doug Fir North, North Doug Fir 7, Sipapu 1, and White Canyon 2 confirmed the presence of C. specuicola at these sites.

Published: December 2023

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that had not been identified in humans before. There are at least two known types of coronaviruses that can cause severe illnesses, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). One of the measures to break the chain of Covid-19 transmission is through Covid-19 vaccination. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of respondents and the overview of the level of knowledge about the Covid-19 vaccine among teenagers at Junior High School 1 Andong. This research is descriptive in nature. The population of this study consists of students of Junior High School 1 Andong, in grade 7 and 8, academic year 2020/2021, totaling 458 students. The sample calculation using the Slovin formula resulted in 82 respondents. The sampling was conducted using probability sampling techniques with cluster sampling. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire on knowledge about Covid-19 vaccines and national Covid-19 vaccination, taken from previous research. The characteristics of the respondents showed that the majority were early teenagers aged 11-13 years, totaling 66 respondents (80.5%), and mostly female, totaling 44 respondents (53.7%). The level of knowledge about Covid-19 vaccines among teenagers in Junior High School 1 Andong is mostly sufficient, with 74 respondents (90.2%). From these results, it can be concluded that the low knowledge of teenagers about Covid-19 vaccines is influenced by irresponsible information circulating about the vaccines. The more information teenagers receive about Covid-19 vaccines, the better their knowledge becomes.

Patient safety in hospitals cannot be separated from the role of nurses in providing nursing care. Nursing students who practice in the room are part of the system and are required to have patient safety competencies. Therefore, increasing safety competence is needed to support the quality of service by students during clinical practice. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the Nursing Student Patient Safety Course (Nurse-PSC) on safety competence (knowledge, skills and attitudes) before and after the course. The study was a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design approach. The number of respondents was 46 students who attended the course for eight weeks using e-learning collaboration and face-to-face meetings. Student competence was measured by Quality and Safety Competence (QSC) for bachelor nursing students (QSC-BNS) with 42 questions. The results showed that the respondents' patient safety competence increased significantly after the intervention (ρ < 0.001), all sub-variables of knowledge, skills, and attitude also showed significant improvement (p < 0.001). Therefore, the patient safety course model can be used as an effective form of learning to improve safety competence in nursing students.

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the auditing activities of Indonesian public companies. During a pandemic auditing activities are predicted to affect the auditor's opinion regarding going concern, audit delay, audit opinion, and the decision to use Big-4 versus non-Big-4 auditors. A sample was selected from tourism and manufacturing companies from 2018-2021 due to the severe impact of COVID-19 on these two sectors. The results of the quantitative analysis show that: 1) Auditors issued more going-concern opinions during the Covid-19 pandemic. 2) Auditors spent more time completing auditing tasks during the Covid-19 pandemic. 3) The number of qualified opinions was relatively similar in the pre-pandemic period and during the Covid-19 pandemic. 4) Clients using Big-4 KAPs decreased during the pandemic. In addition, the content analysis shows: 1) More going concern audit opinions should have been issued during the pandemic than currently available. Some auditors seem to deliberately not mention explicitly the impact of Covid 19 on the continuity of the company. 2) Only a small number of companies disclose the impact of Covid 19 on the company's financial performance.

Published: December 2023

Applying the PCCI-DI combustion concept which can yield low emissions is tried for vehicular applications. However, much work has not been carried out on the genset engine which is a constant speed application. The PCCI can be achieved by various methods like port injection, late direct injection, early direct injection, and multiple direct injections to name a few. However in this case, it is achieved using the port injection. The two different port injection quantities are tried out. The first is with 3 ms pulse and the other with 5 ms pulse of port injection. In this study, PCCI-DI engine is assembled with the alternator to form a genset. The genset is tested for assessing its behavior in real-world conditions. The main trials to simulate the realworld condition are the load throw-on and load throw-off trials. The extreme case of these trials is to load the engine from no load to full load during the throw-on trials and reverse in throw-off trials. The results indicate the best performance in the case of pure DI combustion. With the use of port injection, the genset performance decorates. This is due to the fuel being injected in the port and it takes a finite time for the reaction to sudden loading and de-loading of the engine. The higher the amount of port fuel injection the higher the deterioration in response is observed. The result gives the actual performance and the response in all three combustion configurations. All three cases met the ISO 8528-5 G3 class requirements.
Methods of quantitative and qualitative analyses of ancient marble finds assemblages. The cases of early Byzantine Hawara, Porphyreon, and Philoxenite
Authors: Gwiazda Mariusz
Published: December 2023

Quantitative and qualitative analyses of marble finds at ancient sites are rare, one of the reasons being the lack of standard measures enabling comparison of different assemblages. The paper discusses the applicability and limitations of various methods of quantitative and qualitative analyses, which were tested on datasets of marble objects and excavation results from three medium-sized early Byzantine settlements: Hawara, Porphyreon, and Philoxenite. The tests involved the comparison of volume measurement results obtained for different functional and material-based classes of objects. The analyses confirmed a significant variability among the assemblages, which seems to have been related to the diverse geographic location and socio-religious significance of the settlements. Besides proving the applicability of the methods used, the study has indicated their potential for use in reconstructing consumption patterns in various types of settlements and investigating their intra- and supra-regional diversity.

Published: December 2023

The complement component C1q plays a role as a pro-angiogenic factor in different contexts, acting in a complement-independent way. For example, this molecule is able to foster the remodeling of the spiral arteries for a physiological pregnancy and to promote the wound healing process. It is also involved in angiogenesis after post-stroke ischemia. Furthermore, it has a role in supporting the tumor vessel growth. Given its role in promoting angiogenesis both under physiological and pathological situations, other studies are needed to understand its potential therapeutic implications.

Smlouvou strany vytvářejí pravidla, kterými se má jejich vzájemný vztah upravovat a kterými se mají strany řídit. Limitem takto vytvořeného autonomního práva mezi subjekty je však soulad jejího obsahu s právním řádem. Smlouva, ačkoli není pramenem práva, je právotvornou z toho důvodu, že v mezích kogentního práva vytváří práva a závazky mezi smluvními stranami. Smlouva je současně metodou regulace právních vztahů. Nezbytným ke vzniku smlouvy a vzniku právních následků je nejen souhlas smluvních stran s jejím obsahem, ale především splnění předpokladů pro vznik smlouvy. Na úrovni Unie se již před přelomem tisíciletí pracovalo na smluvních pravidlech pro řádné fungování vnitřního trhu, jejichž výsledkem byla publikace návrhu společného referenčního rámce (DCFR) v roce 2008, který obsahuje zejména zásady, definice a modelová pravidla sestavená s cílem zvýšit soudržnost acquis Společenství v oblasti smluvního práva. Článek se věnuje úvahám autorů DCFR nad obecnými pravidly pro vznik smlouvy.

Determination of the radii of coated and uncoated silicon AFM sharp tips using a height calibration standard grating and a nonlinear regression function
Authors: Boonpuek Perawat , Felts Jonathan Robert
Published: December 2023

AFM sharp tips are used to characterize nanostructures and quantify the mechanical properties of the materials in several areas of research. The analytical results can show unpredicted errors if we do not know the exact values of the AFM tip radius. There are many techniques of in situ measurements for determining the actual AFM tip radius, but they are limited to uncoated tips. This paper presents an alternative and simple method to determine the radii of coated tips and an uncoated tip. Pt-coated, Cr/Au-coated, and uncoated Si tips were used to scan a calibration standard grating in AFM contact mode with sub-nanonewton load to obtain the curved scan profile of the edge corner of the grating structure. The data points of the curved profile of each tip were fitted with a nonlinear regression function to estimate the curvature radius of the tip. The results show that the estimated radius of the coated tips is in the range of nominal values provided by the tip manufacturer, while the estimated radius of the uncoated Si tip is bigger than the nominal radius because of tip blunting during the scan. However, this method yields an accurate estimate of the tip radius with a low root mean squared error of the curve fitting results.
Reconceptualizing and Improving Member Participation in Large Cooperatives: Insights from Deliberative Democracy and Deliberative Mini-Publics
Authors: Pek Simon
Published: December 2023

Member control is a central cooperative value that depends on members having sufficient opportunities to participate in decision-making. Most members of large cooperatives participate in decision-making through non-candidacy participation, which entails responsibilities including electing and monitoring their elected representatives and ratifying resolutions and reports. Non-candidacy participation is crucial to ensure that collective decisions and the conduct of representatives are aligned with the interests of the broader membership. However, prior research points to concerns about the level and quality of non-candidacy participation. In this essay, I draw on research on deliberative democracy to propose a novel solution to address these concerns. I begin by disentangling two commonly conflated forms of non-candidacy participation: aggregative and deliberative. I then argue that large cooperatives could improve both forms of participation through the targeted use of deliberative mini-publics. In doing so, I contribute to research on large cooperatives by advancing a novel solution to im-proving non-candidacy participation and cooperative governance more broadly, articulating a more fine-grained conception of participation to inform future research, and identifying a novel way of conceptualizing and enacting expertise in these organizations.
Violencia simbólica Y desarrollo Social Comunitario Reflexionado en la Perspectiva de Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Mc Kay Levy Leyda Maricela
Published: December 2023

La noción de violencia simbólica, acuñada por Pierre Bourdieu, se refiere a la imposición de categorías de percepción y pensamiento que una clase dominante instala en una comunidad, a menudo disfrazada en la naturalidad de lo social y lo cultural, sin aparente fuerza física. Esta dominación se manifiesta en prácticas cotidianas, lenguaje, e incluso en las instituciones educativas, las cuales perpetúan una estructura social desigual. En el contexto del desarrollo comunitario, esta violencia simbólica puede ser un obstáculo significativo, ya que moldea las aspiraciones y limita las posibilidades de aquellas personas dentro de comunidades marginadas, afectando su capacidad de imaginar y actuar hacia un cambio social. El desarrollo, desde la óptica de Bourdieu, requiere por tanto una lucha contra estas formas de violencia simbólica, implicando una transformación cultural y cognitiva que permita a los individuos reconocer y desafiar las estructuras de poder que los oprimen. Desde este enfoque la metodología del estudio es cualitativa documental bibliográfica, con documentos referenciados y analizados.
Rove beetle communities (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in the rock dumps after coal mining
Authors: Luzyanin Sergey L. , Ditts Alla A. , Babenko Andrey S.
Published: December 2023

Rock dumps formed as a result of coal mining are unique model for studying the rove beetle communities. In total 60 species, 38 genera, 7 subfamilies of rove beetles were registered using soil traps. The greatest diversity of rove beetles was noted in forb-grass meadows (H`  = 2.89) and pine plantations (H`  = 2.39). The diversity of rove beetles was low (H`  = 1.11) in birch and aspen-fir forests despite the greater number of revealed species. Only two eurytopic and mesophilic species (Drusilla canaliculata and Xantholinus linearis) were dominant in the rock dumps. Most of the rove beetles were eurytopic or forest species, zoophagous or mixophagous, mesophilous or hygrophilous. The number of eurytopic species and obligate predators increased, and the dynamic density of beetles decreased from older to younger dumps. The number of rove beetles depended on the soil temperature and humidity and the vegetation cover. Rove beetle communities are good indicators for monitoring the restoration of areas that have been technically degraded.

Dog Breed Classification and Identification Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Towpunwong Nattakan , Sae-Bae Napa
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using pre-trained models to extract biometric information, specifically the dog breed and dog identity, from images of dogs. The study employed pre-trained models to extract feature vectors from the dog images. Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) models then used these vectors as input to train dog breed and identity classifiers. The dog breeds used in this study comprised two Thai breeds, Bangkaew and Ridgeback, and 120 foreign breeds. For dog breed classification, the results showed that, among the ImageNet classification models, the pre-trained NasNetLarge model has the highest dog breed classification accuracy (91%). The newly trained MLP model, which used feature vectors obtained by NasNetLarge, achieved higher accuracy at 93%. For dog identification, the results showed that, without data augmentation, the pre-trained ResNet50 model had the highest dog identification accuracy (75%). However, with data augmentation, MobileNetV2 could achieve a higher accuracy of 77%. When evaluating the identification performance of each breed, it is important to note that pugs achieved the lowest identification rate at 57.4%. Conversely, Bangkaew dogs demonstrated outstanding performance, with the highest identification rate at 98.6%.
