Authors: S. Niranjana E. , R. Sambath Kumar , M. Sudha , N. Venkateswaramurthy
Published: May 2023

The world is running out of antibiotics. Between 1940 and 1962, more than 20 new classes of antibiotics were marketed. Since then, only two new classes of antibiotics were marketed. Now, not enough analogues are reaching the market to stem the tide of antibiotic resistance, particularly among gram-negative bacteria which indicates the need of novel antibiotics for their effective action. This review describes those antibiotics in late-stage clinical development. Most of them belong to existing antibiotic classes and a few with a narrow spectrum of activity are novel compounds directed against novel targets. The reasons for some of the past failures to find new molecules and a path forward to help attract investments to fund the discovery of new antibiotics are described.

Published: May 2023

Head teachers’ roles are indispensable in managing and maintaining classroom physical facilities. Maintenance of available classroom physical facilities is very significant in every school. This paper examined the roles of head teachers in maintaining classroom physical facilities in Osun State primary schools. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The study population consisted of all 9,870 teachers in Osun State primary schools. The sample comprised 385 teachers who were selected using simple random sampling techniques. Appraising the roles of Head Teachers’ Maintenance of Classroom Facilities Questionnaire (AHMCFQ) was the instrument used for data collection. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the present condition of the classrooms environment was conducive for pupils to learn (M = 3.23), the aesthetic of the classrooms environment encouraged the pupils to come to school (M = 3.13), each of the pupils has confortable chair and table in their various classes ( M = 3.18) and the classrooms were located in an area that saved from dangers (M = 3.30). The findings equally showed that the head teachers in Osun State primary schools ensured that the classrooms’ surroundings were neat and clean daily (M = 3.61 through assigning teachers to supervise the cleanliness of the classrooms in their section (M = 3.43)), inspected the classrooms facilities daily to ascertain their condition (M = 3.39) maintained classrooms surroundings by planting flowers and trees to provide shades (M = 2.87) and replaced worn out classrooms facilities using internally generated revenue (M = 2.70). However, the study further regarded financial constraints (M = 2.83) and misuse of the facilities by pupils (M = 2.52) as challenges encountered by head teachers in maintaining available physical facilities in Osun State primary schools. The study concluded that the head teachers significantly contributed to improving the present condition of classroom physical facilities. The findings implicate that the head teachers should accept the maintenance of classroom physical facilities as their responsibility and they should devise skills to make it in good shape to use.
Backward Design: An Approach to the Professional Development of School Leaders
Authors: Shiat Lu Wong
Published: May 2023

Influential leaders are one of the essential elements to achieving the goals of school transformation. Optimizing the ability of school leaders requires opportunities to practice what they have learned from the training module of the School Transformation Program 2025 (TS25). Since the results of the school’s achievements can convince the community to support and cooperate with the school, the researcher adopted an approach known as the backward design as a model for the professional development of school leaders. First, however, the researcher needs to examine the feasibility and appropriateness of this approach. Therefore, the researcher conducted a School Leaders Perception Study (SLPS) through a questionnaire to survey 225 leaders’ perceptions of 82 Kota Kinabalu district schools about implementing the TS25 program in Malaysia. This survey was administered through a google form to gauge school leaders’ acceptance level of TS25 program implementation. It also aims to identify the need for self-development among school leaders, which they usually implement through best practice sharing. In addition, the researcher also studied the willingness of school leaders to implement TS25 partnerships targeted at the community through the questionnaire. After determining the reliability of the SLPS questionnaire, the results of descriptive analysis showed that Kota Kinabalu district school leaders strongly agreed with school transformation implemented according to the school context. Most of them also agree that partnership implementation is a valuable learning opportunity in professional development. The findings also indicate that targeted TS25 partnerships with the community should begin from the results of existing school achievements. Therefore, the researcher suggests a backward design approach as an innovative approach for school leaders’ professional development.
Almost an Ally, but Not Quite: Intersectionality and Postcolonial Insistence in E. M. Forster's A Passage to India
Authors: Nouman Abdullah
Published: May 2023

In this paper I seek to analyse the events in A Passage to India by E. M. Forster to argue that it is impossible for a coloniser to develop a genuine friendship with his/her colonised counterpart. Using postcolonial theory, and particularly Homi K. Bhabha's concept of ‘mimicry,’ this paper demonstrates why the desperate attempt by the colonised to become friends with the coloniser fails. This is an effort to discover an answer to the question that the author poses in his novel. The author poses the query in one of the first chapters of the book. In this paper, I analyse the hypothesis that colonised people frequently strive to imitate the values and customs of their oppressors in an attempt to be seen as their actual allies, but fail miserably. This will be analysed by looking into the various points of intersectionality that are present throughout Forster’s novel.

Authors: Kumar Anil , Jadon Ganesh Pal Singh , Pandit Prem Prakash
Published: May 2023

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the optimization of fixture layout design in multi-operation machining processes to improve the dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and productivity of manufacturing industries. The study focuses on the role of fixture elements such as locators and clamps in holding, securing, and restraining the workpiece during machining operations. The improper fixture layout can increase the vibration of the fixture-workpiece system, leading to reduced accuracy and surface finish of the machined workpiece. The study employs Finite Element Method (FEM) and modal analysis to compute the natural frequencies of the fixture-workpiece system and proposes the use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to optimize the fixture layout design. ANSYS 15.0 and MATLAB software are used to conduct the FEM analysis and develop the GA and PSO coding. The study also presents the validation of the proposed approach on both 2D and 3D fixtureworkpiece systems. The results show that PSO-based optimization produces better results and is identified as the suitable method for fixture layout optimization problems. The proposed approach can aid designers in minimizing machining vibration and achieving the required machining accuracy in multi-operation machining processes.
Study Comparing the Tribological Behavior of Cottonseed and Castor Oil Biodiesel Blended Lubricant under varying Load Conditions
Authors: Surakasi Raviteja , Ganivada Ravi , Pakalapati Ramya
Published: May 2023

Abstract: We have an increasing global need for bio lubricants that are safe for human and environmental use, easily biodegradable, and non-polluting. The friction and wear qualities of cotton seed blended lubricant as well as castor blended lubricant are compared and contrasted in this research using a Pin on disc wear testing Tribometer. In this research, we will look at the study's results and analyse their significance. Blended lubricants were created by combining cotton seed & castor based biodiesel with the basic lubricant SAE20W40 at volumetric ratios of 5, 10, 15, & 20%. Cotton seed and castor blended bio lubricants were tested for friction and wear at sliding velocities of 2.5 metres per second while subjected to weights of 50 N, 100 N, and 150 N. Wear might be slowed by as much as 15 percent by mixing in cotton seed biodiesel with the base oil, as has been shown. When this threshold is passed, wear increases at an ever-increasing pace. Castor oil blended lubricant performed best in wear tests when coupled with a base lubricant at a 5 and 10 percent castor oil blended lubricant concentration. The wear rate was accelerated when 15 percent castor oil was added to the basic lubricant. It has been discovered that at lowest and maximum load, CBL 5 and CBL 10 may serve as an alternative lubricant to increase mechanical efficiency at a sliding velocity of 2.5 metres per second. Because of their efforts, less need has been seen to lessen dependence on petroleum-based goods.

Early Identify and Notify Driver’s Drowsiness by Machine Learning
Authors: Gedekar Siddhant , Bhole Priya , Joshi Mrunal , Shaikh Rafe , Akhade K. O.
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Drunkenness or exhaustion is a leading cause of car accidents, with severe implications for road safety. More fatal accidents could be avoided if fatigued drivers were warned ahead of time. Several drowsiness detection technologies to monitor for signs of inattention while driving and notifying the driver can be adopted. Sensors in self-driving cars must detect if a driver is sleepy, angry, or experiencing extreme changes in their emotions, such as anger. These sensors must constantly monitor the driver’s facial expressions and detect facial landmarks in order to extract the driver’s state of expression presentation and determine whether they are driving safely. As soon as the system detects such changes, it takes control of the vehicle, immediately slows it down, and alerts the driver by sounding an alarm to make them aware of the situation. The proposed system will be integrated with the vehicle’s electronics, tracking the vehicle’s statistics and providing more accurate results. In this paper, we have implemented real-time image segmentation and drowsiness using machine learning methodologies. In the proposed work, an emotion detection method based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) has been implemented using facial expressions. The algorithm was tested under variable luminance conditions and outperformed current research in terms of accuracy. We have achieved 83.25 % to detect the facial expression change.

Published: May 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study is to classify latent profiles based on the teaching-learning experience perceived by students using the 9th to 10th data of the Gyeonggi Education End Study, and to explore the high school type that affect the classified latent profiles. In addition, current study examined the association between these profiles with student engagement entering university.
Methods Data from the 9th (third grade of high school) and 10th (freshman of university) wave of the the Gyeonggi Education Panel Study elementary school pane l(N = 2,927) were used. In this study, student data for the 9th wave, the 10th wave and school data were integrated using student ID and school ID. For analysing, latent profile analysis and multinomial logistic regression and OLS logistic regression analysis were performed.
Results As a result of the analysis, the teaching-learning experience of adolescents was classified into three groups, and it was named as a high-level group, a middle-level group, and a low-level group according to the level of teaching-learning experience. When general high schools were used as the reference for the latent profile, no statistically significant difference was detected across autonomous private high school. However special purpose high schools and specialized high schools showed statistically significant effect. Student of special-purpose high schools were more likely to belong to the high-level group than low-level group. In addition, Student of specialized high schools were more likely to belong to the low-level group than middle-level group Moreover, the latent profiles were found to have an effect on participation in learning after entering college. In other words, the finding of this study indicated that youth classified in the middle-level group or the high-level group actively participated in university learning and were less negligent than those in the low-level group.
Conclusions Current study found that there was a difference in the quality of teaching-learning experienced by students according to the type of high school. In addition, this difference had a significant effect on participation in learning after entering college. Based on these results, it is necessary to provide equal quality education in order to cultivate talented people who meet various high school types' purposes. In particular, it is necessary to improve the quality of education by providing various teaching methods through the improvement of teachers' expertise and competency development.

Methods According to the development model of Kim, et al. (2011), the research procedure went through a total of 4 stages including planning, composing, implementing, and evaluating verify its effectiveness. Based on the preliminary research, the expert counseling process was modified and supplemented. The research tool used was self- reflection scale and self-awareness scale. The data was processed using the Repeated Measures ANOVA method in SPSS/Windows 22.0. To compensate for the limitations of the reliability of quantitative results, the effectiveness of the program by sub-area was analyzed and presented based on the session-by-session comments of group members and the consultant's observations.
Results The main results from this study are as follows. The effect of the group counseling program for novice counselors was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. As a result of qualitative analysis of the experience report data written by the participants of the experimental group, the change of self-reflection was found through participation in the program.
Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it provided the data to improve the self-reflection of novice professional counselors and to promote it.

Published: May 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of worksheet question prompts (facilitating conceptual knowledge vs. facilitating procedural knowledge) in collaborative problem-solving tasks on team’s verbal interaction, academic achievement, and class satisfaction.
Methods 53 female undergraduates from universities in the metro area participated in the experiment. For data analysis, opinion mining based on KOSAC and keyword analysis were applied on the transcripts of team activities and group interviews. Criteria for analyzing verbal interactions were divided into polarity (positive, negative, neutral, complex) and types (agreement, argument, judgment, intention, emotion, speculation, and others). In addition, t-test was conducted to compare the mean differences in verbal interaction and academic achievement by group.
Results Regarding the verbal interaction, the frequency of using positive expressions was significantly higher in the experimental group using the worksheet for facilitating procedural knowledge(p<.05). However, in terms of academic achievement, the mean difference between groups was not significant for both the pre- and post-scores(p>.05). As the result of keyword analysis on class satisfaction, the top keywords in the experimental group were ‘problem’, ‘lecture’, ‘data’, ‘understanding’, and ‘realistic’, whereas the top keywords in the control group were ‘lecture’, ‘content’, ‘task’, ‘problem’, and ‘application’.
Conclusions These findings imply the necessity for ongoing attention to the study of behavioral data generated during the learning process as well as the development of various worksheets to facilitate active interaction among learners.
Political Islam in Afghanistan: Origins and Ideology
Authors: Belkov E. А.
Published: May 2023

Any political, especially religious movement or ideology, should have its historical predecessors, whose views and ideas would somehow affect them. Understanding the origins and sources contributes to a more realistic and objective view of modern phenomena, especially in such traditional countries as Afghanistan, where tradition indelibly leaves its mark on everything. The purpose of the article is to attempt to give a comprehensive and chronological description of the ideas and ideologies that formed the basis for the emergence of Islamist political parties in Afghanistan. The materials used are the works of domestic and foreign orientalists, including Afghan ones, as well as sources in the national languages of Afghanistan. The research is based on the method of consistent description of the source and its characteristics to demonstrate its connection with the modern phenomenon of political Islam. The paper presents a list of alleged ideological sources and precursors of political Islam in Afghanistan in the mid-20th century. Their historical and ideological characteristics are given. The main representatives and supporters of certain ideas, their social status and attitude to other movements and ideologies are described. Political Islam in Afghanistan did not arise as something exclusively external, but had under it, in addition to the external form and external borrowings (the ideology of “deobandism”, “Muslim Brotherhood”), also internal sources peculiar to Afghan society in the form of tribal chiefdom, which became a kind of general organizational beginning of any political and religious movement. The complexity of Islamism in Afghanistan lies in its mixed structure, which is especially evident at the moment, in the ideology and practice of the Taliban Movement, which, on the one hand, is based on the provisions of «deobandism», pan-Islamism, to a lesser extent the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, but on the other hand, it completely contradicts them, which is purely due to tribal traditional features of the social structure and worldview of the backbone of the movement.
Rethinking Kh. Faizhanov’s Relations to A. K. Kazembek and Sh. Marjani
Authors: Mukhetdinov D. V.
Published: May 2023

This article opens the cycle of works timed to the 200th anniversary of Khusain Faizkhanov’s (1823–1866) birth and conceived to review some aspects of his life and activity. Directly this work clariﬁes some details of Faizkhanov’s biography and offers a corrected assessment of his interactions with such prominent scholars as A. K. Kazembek and Sh. Marjani, who played an important role in the beginning of his career. Kh. Faizkhanov’s communication with Kazembek during their stay in Kazan was not long, but resulted in productive cooperation and close contacts which continued thereafter. Kazembek was able to appreciate Faizkhanov’s thirst for knowledge and his outstanding intellectual abilities, entrusting him with responsible scientiﬁc work. It is not clear to what extent other scientists in Kazan probably inﬂuenced Faizkhanov. It should be emphasized once again that it was Faizkhanov who introduced Sh. Marjani to the circle of Kazan orientalists, and not vice versa. I draw attention to the dependence of Marjani’s historical texts from Faizkhanov’s works, which were published only at the beginning of the 21th century. Without denying the authority of Sh. Marjani as a major theologian, I propose to see his inﬂuence on Faizkhanov as overrated. New materials allow us to conﬁrm the fact that Faizkhanov was present in St.-Petersburg at the very beginning of 1854.
The Cardiocentrism in Islamic Culture and Religion. Part Two
Authors: Kafarov T. E.
Published: May 2023

The ﬁrst article was devoted to arguing that cardiocentrism is a generally signiﬁcant feature not only of Orthodox-Slavic culture and religion, but also of Islam. We showed that the entire Islamic worldview is built on the principle of harmony of faith and reason and is free from the extremes of rationalism and irrationalism. Its cornerstone is the concept of the heart. In this article the theme is continued, but from a special angle of consideration-through revealing the peculiarities of the spiritual-hearted vision of being and its differences from the usual sensual, visual perception of the world. The main feature of heart mechanisms of perception of the world is that through them there appears the unique ability of inner vision, realizing the accession to the special knowledge, given by Allah. It is given as a divine gift only to selected people, who can see such facet of existence that are inaccessible to ordinary vision. This ability of “excessive” vision greatly enhances the drama of life, as it allows to see many manifestations of imperfection of the world and man, while it greatly complicates the already complex life.
