Published: June 2022

Abstract: The COVID-19 epidemic outbreak has rebounded in an unknown extrimity across the globe. The epidemic created an enormousdemand for innovative technologies to break extremity-specific problems in different sectors of society. Inthe case of the education sector and confederated literacy technologies, significant issues have surfaced while substituting face-to-face literacy with onlinevirtual literacy. Several countries have closed educational institutions temporarily to palliate theCOVID-19 spread. The check of educational institutions impelled the preceptors across the globe to use online meeting platforms considerably. The virtual classrooms created by online meeting platforms are espoused as the only volition for face-to face commerce in physical classrooms. In this regard, scholars’ attendance operation in virtual classes is a major challenge encountered bythe preceptors. Pupil attendance is a measure of their engagement in a course, which has a direct relationship with their active literacy. Still, during virtual literacy, it is exceptionally grueling to keep track of the attendance ofscholars. Calling scholars names in virtual classroom to take attendance is both trivial and time-consuming. Therefore, in the background of the COVID-19 epidemic and the operation of virtual meeting platforms, there is a extremity-specific immediate necessity to develop a proper shadowing system to cover scholars attendance and engagement during virtual literacy. In this design, we are addressing the epidemic -convinced pivotal necessity by introducing a new approach.In order to realize a largely effective and robust attendance operation system for virtual literacy, we introduce the Random Interval Query and Face Recognition Attendance ManagementSystem(henceforth, AI Present).To the stylish of our knowledge no similar automated system has been proposed so far for tracking scholars attendance and icing their engagement during virtual literacy

Abstract: The essential inspiration for this uAndertaking was a pleasant utilization of AI. Tetris is a notable game that is cherished and loathed by a lot of people. Tetris game has a few qualitiesmaking it an intriguing issue for the field of ML. A total portrayal of the tetris issue incorporates tremendous number of states making a meaning of a non-learning procedure for all intents and purposes unthinkable. Late outcomes from the group at Google DeepMind have shown that support learning can have noteworthy execution at game playing, utilizing a negligible measure of earlier data about the game. We use support figuring out how to prepare an AI specialist to play tetris. Support learning permits the machine or programming specialist to gain proficiency with its conduct in light of the criticism that is gotten from the climate. The machine might adjust after some time or may advance once and proceed with that behavior. Tetris is played on a rectangular lattice divided into more modest square regions, regularly ten units wide by twenty units tall. The player controls the direction and even area of pieces that tumble from the highest point of the board to the base and procures focuses by framing total level lines, which are then eliminated from play, causing pieces put higher to move descending. The key speculation of this undertaking is that assuming that the focuses procured in Tetris are utilized as the prize capacity for an AI specialist, then that specialist ought to have the option to figure out how to play Tetris without other oversight.

Authors: Gudimella Sunil Sriharsha
Published: June 2022

Abstract- Microstrip antennas are low-profile antennas. A metal patch mounted at a ground level with a dielectric material in between constitutes a Microstrip or Patch Antenna. These are very low- size antennas having low radiation. The patch antennas are popular for low-profile applications at frequencies above 100 MHz, these antennas consist of a very thin metallic strip placed on a ground plane with a dielectric material in-between. Usually, the antennas are chosen to be circular or rectangular in shape for ease of analysis and fabrication. These antennas are employed at ultra-high frequencies and higher frequencies. This paper aims to design and analysis of microstrip patch antennas for Narrowband Communication Applications by the analysis on antenna parameters such as Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), S11 Parameters, Radiation Pattern and Gain. Dielectric materials FR4 Epoxy, RT Duroid 5880, RT Duroid 6006 and RT Duroid 6010 are considered whose permittivity is 4.4, 2.2, 6.15 and 10.2. The antennas are simulated at 900 MHz frequency using Ansys Electromagnetic Suite (HFSS) software and the resultant graphical analyses of the parameters are plotted. The antennas are also fabricated with the above dielectric materials and are tested for practical values using a network analyser using Midas software. The results show that RT-Duriod 6006 gives better values when compared to the other substrate materials. The gain observed is 12.6 dB with a VSWR of 1.65. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that the antenna made from this substrate material (RT-Duriod 6006) are best suited for narrow band communication applications.

Published: June 2022

The Romanian honey market is facing a problem related to traceability, especially when honey is produced in more than one country and its origin is indicated as a blend of EC and non-EC honeys. The increase of honey adulteration has consequences on both consumers and honey producers with considerable negative effects. The aim of the study was to identify the factors that influence honey purchasing behaviour and to evaluate consumers’ awareness related to honey adulteration in Romania among selected age segments. An online survey was conducted between 2020-2021 on a sample of 1,233 respondents. The questionnaire covered aspects related to purchasing behaviour and honey adulteration, complemented with socio-demographic questions. The data were evaluated using descriptive, non-parametric and multivariate statistics. The results showed that the most important factors considered during the purchasing process by Romanian honey consumers were health factor and country of origin followed by producer reputation and ecological aspect, while the least important were discounts, promotion and brand reputation. The older respondents are more aware of honey adulteration and know better that crystallisation is an indicator of quality. This study provides important information for policymakers and the whole beekeeping chain in Romania. Education in terms of honey authenticity and traceability will help consumers to choose local honey of high quality and to avoid adulterated products. This consumption and purchasing behaviour will discourage producers from honey counterfeiting.

Published: June 2022

Abstract Background: The misattribution of an adverse drug reaction
(ADR) as a symptom or illness can lead to the prescribing of additional
medication, referred to as a prescribing cascade. The aim of this
systematic review is to identify published prescribing cascades in
community-dwelling adults. Methods: Systematic review reported in line
with the PRISMA guidelines and pre-registered with PROSPERO. Electronic
databases (Medline (Ovid), EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library)
and grey literature sources were searched. Inclusion criteria:
Community-dwelling adults; Risk-prescription medication;
Outcomes-initiation of new medicine to ‘treat’ or reduce ADR risk; Study
type-cohort, cross-sectional, case-control and case-series studies.
Title/abstract screening, full-text screening, data extraction and
methodological quality assessment was conducted independently in
duplicate. A narrative synthesis was conducted. Results: A total of 101
studies (reported in 103 publications) were included. Study sample sizes
ranged from 126 to 11,593,989 participants and 15 studies examined older
adults specifically (≥60 years). Seventy-eight of 101 studies reported a
potential prescribing cascade including calcium channel blockers to loop
diuretic (n=5), amiodarone to levothyroxine (n=5), inhaled
corticosteroid to topical antifungal (n=4), antipsychotic to
anti-Parkinson drug (n=4), and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor to urinary
incontinence drugs (n=4). Identified prescribing cascades occurred
within three months to one year following initial medication.
Methodological quality varied across included studies. Conclusion and
implications: Prescribing cascades occur for a broad range of
medications. ADRs should be included in the differential diagnosis for
patients presenting with new symptoms, particularly older adults and
those who started a new medication in the preceding 12 months. Word

Published: June 2022

This paper analyzes how substantial fiscal policy stimulus in response to COVID-19, combined with the impact of the downturn on revenues, has severely weakened public finances in many developing Asian economies. Analysis drawing on newly compiled data shows that while tax revenues in developing Asia steadily rose in the 2 decades before the COVID–19 pandemic, they continued to lag well behind high-income economies and some developing peers. The region relies on indirect taxes, creating a relatively efficient but less progressive tax structure, while government expenditures on education and health were comparatively modest.
Reformasjonen i norsk kyrkjehistorieskriving i første del av 1900-talet
Authors: Elstad Hallgeir
Published: June 2022

This article sheds light on how Norwegian church historical writing in the first part of the twentieth century (ca. 1900–1940) deals with the history of the Reformation. Five theological historians from The Faculty of Theology, University of Kristiania/Oslo (TF) and The Norwegian School of Theology (MF) are investigated: Anton Chr. Bang (TF), Andreas Brandrud (TF), Oluf Kolsrud (TF), Edvard Sverdrup (MF), and Andreas Seierstad (MF). Both the general history of the Reformation and the history of the Norwegian Reformation are addressed. The paper concludes that the confessional approach partially prevailed. In general, Norwegian early twentieth century church historical research is characterized by anti-Catholicism. Furthermore, the church historians do not appreciate the way in which the Reformation was introduced in Norway, but in the long run most of them agree on the positive effects of the Reformation. Still, in some issues of the history of the Reformation they also present different views.
Biskop Per Juvkam og reformarbeidet i Den norske kirke
Authors: Løvlie Birger
Published: June 2022

In the years after World War II, the Norwegian state church system was put under debate. The prominent theologian and bishop Per Juvkam (1907–2003) was a key figure in the debate. Initially, he led the church’s own organization that worked for greater freedom for the Church of Norway. In 1971 he became a member of a committee appointed by the government to advise the Norwegian parliament on the future relationship between church and state, where he worked hard to remove the church’s ties to the Norwegian constitution. Instead, he wanted a constitution for an independent church with the local church as its cornerstone.
The committee’s conclusion was published in 1975. Per Juvkam received support from the committee’s majority for his principled views, but other church leaders did not want to separate the church from the state. Instead, another strategy was chosen: to negotiate concrete reforms that could be implemented within the framework of the state church.
The strategy succeeded in the sense that the parliament decided to establish a synod that was to meet annually, but the church would still be subject to state control. Per Juvkam described it as a personal defeat, as the church failed to discuss theological principles and let slip the chance for an independent church. In his writings, which were made public after his death, he named and directly criticized individuals in academic theology and held them responsible for the church’s opting out of a great opportunity to become independent of the state.

Como a Psicanálise explica a “pós-verdade” a partir da noção de Apofenia de Klaus Conrad
Authors: Vigar Vivian Valerie Carol Ann
Published: June 2022

Este artigo pretende explicar como a psicanálise pode compreender os mecanismos psíquicos que levam um sujeito a assentir ideias absurdas, disseminadas no contexto da pós-verdade. Para tanto, utilizaremos a noção de apofenia: uma das fases do processo de desencadeamento da esquizofrenia, proposto e descrito, em 1958, pelo psiquiatra alemão Klaus Conrad. Acreditamos que a apofenia pode colaborar, enquanto material de elaboração teórica, com a psicanálise, por apresentar, em sua nosografia, características semelhantes às observadas em sujeitos que aderem facilmente às informações falsas. Defendemos, também, que os meios de comunicação se apoiam nos estudos de fenômenos psicológicos, como a apofenia, para se instrumentalizarem na construção de linguagens persuasivas, com fins políticos, nutrindo isso que denominamos “pós-verdade”.

An emergency scenario, in which a fireball is formed, is not uncommon. It happens as the result of rupture of the pressure vessel with the release of the superheated fuel. Hazard of the fireballs is significant thermal loads with a short lifetime. The existing methods of predicting the heat flow during the formation of the fireballs simplify the schematization of the process (assume the immobility of the ball), and, also, do not fully reflect the possible thermal loads. For this reason, the method for determining thermal loads was developed, considering the fireball movement. The purpose of this study is to verify the developed methodology for determining thermal loads accompanied by the fireballs based on a comparative analysis of the calculation results with the consequences of the explosion that occurred on 10.08.2020 in Volgograd. The objectives of the study: determination of the fireball kinematic parameters; based on the kinematic parameters, the calculation of the thermal loads occurred as the result of an accident; comparative analysis of the emergency consequences with the results of the thermal loads; comparative analysis of the results of the thermal load calculations with the results of heat flow calculations according to the existing regulatory documents. To check the operability of the fireball lifting model, the shooting frames of its formation were used. According to the shooting frames, the position of the fireball in space and its kinematic characteristics were tracked. Using kinematic parameters, the thermal loads were determined. To assess the adequacy of the thermal loads calculations, a comparative analysis of the calculation results of the developed methodology with the emergency consequence in Volgograd was used.

According to the statistics, until the mid-90s, the share of failures on the linear part of the main gas pipelines due to corrosion accounted for 55–70 %. The next period is characterized by the prevalence of failures caused by the stress corrosion, the level of which was 40–50 %. The failure rate attributable to the welded joints was about 11–12 %. In this regard, for the purpose of maintaining the established level of the gas pipelines technical condition, PAO Gazprom develops and implements the programs for the main gas pipelines overhauls for the periods until 2031. The program can be solved by developing new, more efficient methods and technologies for the overhauls using pipes that were in operation and prepared for further work in the plant conditions. A significant proportion of accidents are associated with the pipe metal external corrosion, while a significant part of failures is caused by the formation of corrosion cracking under stress of the pipe metal. The most efficient means of ensuring reliable trouble-free operation of the gas pipelines is the overhaul of defective sections determined based on diagnostic surveys and analysis of the parameters of the objects technical condition. The decision on the possibility of further use of the pipes should be made considering such factors as working conditions, expected duration of operation, reliability requirements, etc. From the point of view of wear and reduction of the pipes service life, the region, and the conditions in which the pipes were operated are of great importance. Maintaining the operability of gas pipelines at a high level can be ensured by significantly increasing the volume of capital repairs based on the in-depth analysis of the sections technical condition.

The relevance of the work is due to the lack of a unified methodology for assessing environmental risks from hazardous production objects in the Republic of Kazakhstan, which makes it especially in demand against the backdrop of an increase in the number of new enterprises. The aim of the work is to develop a methodology for multifactorial assessment of the environmental risk from the technogenic accidents at chemically hazardous objects. The methodology uses the method of expert assessments. Employees of the Industrial Safety Committee and the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and their territorial subdivisions, employees of chemically hazardous objects responsible for their safe operation and environmental protection were involved as experts. Further, the statistical analysis and processing of expert assessments were carried out with the aim to determine the degree of agreement of expert opinions, to establish the final scores. This made it possible to determine the weight coefficients of the parameters and establish the final estimates for all valid values of the criteria parameters. The environmental risk of a chemically hazardous object is considered as a combination of indices of the environmental hazard of a chemically hazardous object, and the vulnerability of the environment from it. The first index is determined by the criterion parameters, united in 3 clusters: physicochemical, ecotoxicological properties of a hazardous chemical and its amount; technological equipment; and staff. After a quantitative assessment of the indicators using a matrix, it is possible to determine the level of environmental risk, both for a separate territory, and for zoning the entire territory around a chemically hazardous object. In the future, the creation of an information and analytical system based on the presented methodology will allow specialists to objectively and quickly analyze the state of the environmental safety at industrial objects, make informed management decisions aimed at reducing the environmental risk to the environment around the chemically hazardous objects, and monitor the efficiency of the measures applied.

Published: June 2022

In this study, the variation of cedrus tree parts and gypsum during experimental panel manufacturing have been evaluated. The burning pattern on the surface of all test boards produced by adding cedrus’s tree components (wood, bark, cone and needle) as reinforcement fillers to the gypsum structure did not reach the threshold limit of 150 mm that specified in the standard value as ISO 11925-2 standard but only limi-ted spreading of char was observed. It was also found that cone looks like create better barrier against heat compare to needle, wood and bark in similar proportions with gypsum. In contrary, although bark could be absorbed and barrier to heat better than others but it may not support flammability that are not support to mass lost when subject to burning. Some chemical changes occurred in main constituents of lignocellu-losic substances in water/gypsum mixture as evidence with FTIR spectrums. It has also realized that bark (SKa6), cone (Sko6), and needle (SI6) in gypsum negative impact on thermal degradation that higher tempe-rature for decomposition compare to wood-based board (Ska1) at similar experimental manufacturing conditions. It has clearly seen that content of fillers dramatically effects thermal stability of gypsum based boards.

Although we may now associate it more with late night talkback sessions and music’s top forty, educational broadcasting was a key feature of early radio and helped to establish a deeply ingrained listening culture within New Zealand. Educational broadcasts helped to legitimise radio as more than just a source of light entertainment. Women were a key target for many radio-based educational efforts, viewed as both the main consumers of broadcast content and in the greatest need of instruction within the domestic sphere. Health and the idea of ‘scientific motherhood’ were a key component of these efforts. When World War Two required the Department of Health to adopt new methods of connecting with the public, radio was deemed the most effective option. Women were responsible for the health of the family, and there was already a well-established culture of educating women within the domestic sphere via the radio.
New Zealand Sculpture OnShore: Popular, Successful and Vitally Important

As a result of not being subject to the same rules, regulations and public consultation requirements of permanent public artworks, temporary art occupies a privileged position. If a member of the public does not like what they see, they need not worry. The artwork in question will be gone soon enough. This position presents not only an opportunity for engagement with a large, diverse audience, but also, as will be suggested, the necessity for the temporary to engage meaningfully with the physical, historic, and cultural layers of the site on which it occurs. Taking the Auckland Council Public Art Policy as a point of departure, and using New Zealand Sculpture OnShore (NZ SoS) as a proxy for temporary public art exhibitions that co-opt public spaces, the complex matrix and inherently political nature of public art will be explored and examined. Specific attention is given to site, audience, time and space that combine create place. The theories of Lucy Lippard, Mary Jane Jacob, John Dewey and others inform the critical discussion. Interviews with multiple people who had significant roles in the development and creation of NZ SoS as it exists today offer deeper insights into the historical background, ideology and purpose that underpins the exhibition.
Whakapūmau te Mana: Implications for Early Childhood Practice

Wellbeing is fundamental to an individual’s ability to function and live well. Māori have some of the worst wellbeing statistics in New Zealand (Chalmers & Williams, 2018). From a te āo Māori perspective mana (power, authority) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) encapsulate the critical relationships inherent in Māori understandings of wellbeing. These relationships highlight the interconnectedness and interdependence of humans with the people, places and things in their worlds, and the responsibilities associated with these people, places and things. This article discusses findings from a Teaching and Learning Research Initiative funded project, Te Whakapūmautia te mana: Enhancing Mana Through Kaitiakitanga (2020–2021), and outlines implications for early childhood education (ECE) from the findings. The aim of the project was to investigate ways that ECE provides mokopuna (children) opportunities to recognise mana and understand ways to attain mana through being kaitiaki (guardians) of themselves, others and their environment, thereby contributing to a collective sense of wellbeing. The article focuses on kaiako understandings of mana and kaitiakitanga and how they are currently reflected in contemporary ECE services.

Analysis of pellets provides information on the prey distribution, abundance, behavior and trophic relationships between Strigiformes and small mammals. By analyzing the skulls from long-eared owl (Asio otus) pellets, collected from a colony located in the Mercur Park, in Cluj- Napoca, Romania, we aimed to identify the small mammal species and to compare the results with available ones from another study conducted 2 years ago in the same area. During 7 collecting campaigns (November 2018 to March 2019) in 538 pellets a total of 1290 skulls were identified. Over the study period, the colony increased from 10 to 40 birds. Six species of small mammals were identified: the field striped mouse (Apodemus agrarius), the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis), the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus), the European water vole (Arvicola terrestris), the field vole (Microtus agrestis) and the common vole (Microtus arvalis). Compared with the previously study, a new species was identified: the yellow-necked mouse and another one was missing: the bank vole (Myodes glareolus).

Air is necessary for human survival and the preservation of the environment. The scientific community is concerned about the ongoing rapid expansion of the population, which uses resources faster, and thus the accumulation of an enormous amount of waste will gradually worsen the air quality. The change in the pollutants released in the atmosphere became more complex throughout human history, and they were released in huge quantities. The sources of air pollution vary greatly – from burning fuel, the household, agricultural or mining activities to natural disasters or significant industrial accidents. New techniques that monitor the air composition are being developed to ensure air quality control. The population exposed to these harmful compounds is predisposed to various health concerns, including skin, cardiovascular, brain, blood, and lung illnesses. The substances also contribute to global warming, acid rains and ozone depletion. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was noticed that reducing human activities causing pollution leads to improved air quality, which shows that long-term solutions can also be found. This paper aims to offer an overview of the air pollution problems persisting around the globe and present the current state, causes and evolution of air pollution. Some of the solutions we propose in this article include energy-saving, public transportation and material recycling. We also emphasize the need to develop new technologies to control the air quality and implement a sustainable approach.

SOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF IBADAH IN THE QUR’AN
Authors:   UIN Alauddin Makassar, Mahfudz Muhsin
Published: June 2022

This article discusses the social dimensions contained in the Qur'an, especially verses that use the term ibadah (worship) in its various derivations. The discussion aims to unravel the ambiguity of meaning in society about whether ibadah only refers to the pure rituals (ibādah mahḍah) such as prayer or includes pious activities outside of pure rituals? In its analysis, this article uses the Tafsīr Mauḍū‘ī method, a method of interpretation that examines the concept of ibadah through the elaboration of the entire verse that uses the term. The analytical tools are textual and cultural analysis techniques that highlighted through a sociological approach, especially Max Weber's theory of beliefs about the influence of social behavior. The analysis results show that all verses that use the term ibadah in their various derivations are generally related to social dimensions. If there is a command to worship Allah, then the verses of the Qur'an are also with zakat and social security. By looking up to the characteristics of verses in the Qur'an, Max Weber's theory can be developed even though with different variables.
