Quantum hydrodynamic representation of the exchange interaction in the theory of description of magnetically ordered media
Authors: Andreev P.A. , Trukhanova M.I.
Published: September 2023

Ferromagnets, multiferroics and other magnetically ordered materials are described by various models of the evolution of the magnetization of the medium. In this paper, we develop the method of many-particle quantum hydrodynamics for such media. We use the Heisenberg Hamiltonian and derive an equation for the evolution of macroscopic magnetization, corresponding to the non-dissipative version of the Landau-Lifshitz equation for particles with spin 1/2. It is shown that the well-known form of the contribution of the exchange interaction to the Landau-Lifshitz equation arises in the third order in terms of the interaction radius. The possibilities of the systematic generalization of the result obtained are discussed when considering the fifth order in the interaction radius or when considering particles with a large spin.

Pattern analysis of fractal-like systems
Authors: Ryzhikova Yu.V. , Ryzhikov S.B.
Published: September 2023

The features of the Fourier spectra of fractal-like systems are studied. On the basis of theoretical studies,
the features of the scaling invariants of the objects under consideration in light fields are determined, which
manifest themselves in the form of stable local formations — patterns. Particular attention is paid to the
problem of stability of the ratios of the scaling characteristics of the analyzed systems and their Fourier
transforms. The possibility of identifying and systematizing various fractal systems based on the estimation
of their scaling parameters is considered. An analysis of the stability of the scaling parameters of the probing
radiation to changes in the parameters of the systems under study indicates that the pattern approach to
improving the methods of optical diagnostics is promising.

Using tunneling spectroscopy, we measured current-voltage characteristics (CVC) and dynamic conductance
spectra 𝑑𝐼(𝑉 )/𝑑𝑉 of tunneling contacts in single crystals of slightly overdoped superconducting ferro-pnictide
of nominal composition BaFe1.88Ni0.12As2 with bulk critical temperature 𝑇𝑐 = 16−18 K. Besides the Andreev
structure, a strong nonlinearity is observed in the obtained curves both in the superconducting and normal
state. For the temperature range 4.3 − 26.4 K we determined the positions and temperature dependences of
the observed features irrelated to the superconducting state. Additionally, we discuss the possible origins for
the appearance of the observed features.

Authors: Chuah Kee Man , Ch'ng Looi-Chin
Published: September 2023

TikTok is a popular video-sharing social media platform that encourages its users to upload bite-sized content for entertainment purposes. In recent years, the platform is filled with videos meant for micro-learning, ranging from tutorials to meaningful challenges. Among those videos are voice-over challenges where users need to virtually duet with another user and perform a voice-over based on given texts. This article reports a case study that aimed to identify the usefulness of TikTok voice-over challenges in helping English as a Second Language (ESL) students to learn speaking skills. The study included 60 undergraduates who participated in twelve voiceover challenges within two months. Upon completing the challenges, they had to fill in an online questionnaire that gathered their views on the usefulness of the tasks and the problems they faced. The results revealed that students regarded the TikTok challenges as useful since they could improve their pronunciation and intonation, partake in turn-taking as well as motivate them to speak English more frequently. Several notable problems with its implementation are also shared in this article. Despite the small sample size, this study has shown promising outcomes on the use of TikTok voice-over challenges as speaking tasks for ESL learners.
Standard and Non-Standard English in Bangladesh: A Sociolinguistic Exploration of Linguistic Identity, Post-Colonial Legacy, and the Quest for Global Englishes
Authors: Abdul Awal
Published: September 2023

The article delves into the ongoing discourse concerning Standard English (SE) and Non-Standard English in Bangladesh. Historically, the trend of learning Standard English in the country traces back to its colonial roots. The British colonization introduced and popularized English learning, imprinting its influence on both the language and its speakers. Such historical ties lead to pertinent questions about the relevance and position of Standard English, especially in the sphere of English Language Teaching. The discussion critiques the idea of  Standard English from a post-colonial perspective, particularly drawing connections between Standard English and linguistic dominance. Additionally, the concept of My English (ME) is brought forward as a counter to the hegemony of Standard English. A central theme of the article is the legitimacy of acknowledging local English forms within the umbrella of Global Englishes. It also touches upon socio-political factors that validate the acceptance of these regional English iterations. The research aims to illuminate English's role in Bangladesh’s local linguistic scene, probing its influence across various societal layers. It identifies particular linguistic and extra-linguistic elements affecting the categorization of English versions in the nation. Emphasizing the crucial role of education, wherein English serves as more than just a subject but a medium for functional proficiency, the article stresses the necessity for Bangladesh to define and embrace its distinct English variant in the larger framework of Global Englishes.

Published: September 2023

Women, the glorious creation of God, have contributed magnificently to the growth of human civilization performing distinctive roles as well as holding influential positions miraculously throughout the history of humanity. India's illustrious past passionately and proudly tells the inspirational stories of strong, independent women who glorified our society and culture with their forceful presence. If we look at the contributions that they have made throughout the history of human civilization, we can see that they have contributed in a variety of ways to the formation of society as a whole. They personify "Shakti," the living manifestation of divine force. Undoubtedly, the universe endows women with innate resilience, as they have demonstrated for decades. They have fought their battles by first recognizing and then publicly embracing their self-worth. Their achievements can be acknowledged as philosophers, global leaders, businesspeople, poets, playwrights, authors, artists, journalists, painters, musicians, and other creative types. Though women have contributed multifariously to society at large, this essay will focus on the contributions made by women to Indian English literature. This study places a significant emphasis on the contributions made by women to Indian English literature throughout the course of its magnificent history, which spans from before the country's independence to the present day. In addition, the paper will analyse a number of different Indian authors in order to get a deeper comprehension of women’s writings and the role they have in the world of literature. This paper will comprehensively study the incredible contribution of writers such as Kamala Das, Shashi Deshpande, Bharti Mukherjee, Kamla Markandaya, Nayantara Sahgal, Arundhati Roy, Shobha De, Anita Desai, Manju Kapur, and Kiran Desai, who have paved the way for future generations of Indian women writers to express themselves. They are the progenitors of resistance, consciousness, and individualism.

Published: September 2023

The optimization of age at first freezing in Murrah breeding bulls has been studied which will help in early selection of bulls for improving the reproductive performance in the herd. The data pertaining to age at first freezing (AAFF), conception rate based on first AI (CRFAI), overall conception rate (OCR) and birth weight (B.WT) of 57 Murrah bulls during 1993 to 2014 belonging to 14 sets of Network Project on Buffalo Improvement at ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana were adjusted against environmental influence and subsequently analyzed. Simple and multiple regression models were developed for prediction of CRFAI and OCR of Murrah breeding bulls. By judging of three developed models (I to III) it was observed that Model III having age at first freezing and birth weight fulfill the accuracy of model, i.e. high coefficient of determination, low mean sum of square, due to error (MSSe), low conceptual predictive value (Cp value) and low Bayesian information criterion (BIC). The results revealed that optimum age at first freezing of Murrah bulls should be 2.5-3.0 years for 4.98% better conception rate based on first AI and 3.92% better overall conception rate in comparison to Murrah bulls with more than 3.5 years of age.

In vitro activity of blood and milk leukocytes together with serum enzyme profile during sub-clinical mastitis in crossbred cows were evaluated after collection of blood and milk samples from normal (10) and sub-clinical mastitic (10) cows. Blood total leukocyte counts (TLC) and differential leukocyte counts (DLC) were estimated by standard hematological procedure. Milk somatic cell counts (SCC) was performed microscopically. In vitro phagocytic activity of blood and milk neutrophils was performed by colorimetric nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) assy and mitogenconcanavalin A (con A) induced blood and milk lymphocyte blastogenic response was evaluated by colorimetric MTT (tetrazolium) assay. Serum total protein and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured by the stand biochemical methods. The alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspertate amino transferase (AST) activities in serum were estimated by commercially available kit. Milk SCC was significantly higher in sub-clinical mastitic cows. Phagocytic index of both blood and milk neutrophils was significantly lower in sub-clinical mastitic cows than normal animals. Con- A induced blood and milk lymphocyte blastogenic response was significantly loweredin sub-clinical mastitic cows than. Serum albumin, globulin ratio decreased significantly during sub-clinical mastitis. Serum AST and ALP level in sub-clinical mastitic cows was significantly higher. The study indicated decreased blood and milk leukocyte activity and higher AST and ALP during the sub-clinical mastitis which could be used as a diagnostic tool for sub-clinical mastitis.

Diet composition is an important determinant of milk production and composition, including milk fatty acid profile. Present experiment evaluated the influence of diet on milk fatty acid composition of cow and buffaloes, which have varying genetic potential of milk secretion and mammary lipogenesis. Sixteen of each multiparous crossbred cows and Murrah buffaloes were divided in 2 equal groups of each species with 8 animals in each group making 4 groups altogether (groups 1 and 2 for cows and groups 3 and 4 for buffaloes). Cows and buffaloes of groups 1 and 3 were fed ad lib. berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum) fodder along with wheat straw, whereas, animals of groups 2 and 4 were offered concentrate mixture and wheat straw. Fatty acid profiles were determined of milk samples and ghee (clarified butter oil) prepared at fortnight intervals by indigenous and creamery (commercial) methods from the total milk collected from each group. Total milk fat, protein, total solids and solid not fat contents of milk were similar between cow and buffaloes irrespective of dietary changes. Total CLA content in milk was higher in berseem fed groups of both the species. In conclusion, total PUFA and SFA levels of cow and buffalo milk with same feeding regimen were nonsignificant. However, the total MUFA content significantly increased in cows when fed with green fodder as compared to buffaloes. Furthermore, total CLA content in ghee prepared using indigenous method was higher as compared to that of creamery method.

Authors: SONE POORNIMA , BARDHAN D , KUMAR AVADHESH
Published: September 2023

The present study was conducted on a sample of 100 goat farmers randomly drawn from 2 administrative blocks in Almora, Uttarakhand to analyze the role of goats in the livelihoods of rural households. Farm household typologies were constructed by using 2 multivariate statistical techniques, viz. principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). PCA was used to transform linearly an original set of 17 variables, representing farm and socioeconomic characteristics, into a smaller set of uncorrelated variables (factors) that represents most of the information in the original set. The factors retained from the PCA were used for cluster analysis. Five homogenous groups (clusters) were obtained. Cluster 1 (20%) was identified as households with high farm family labour involvement and low female labour involvement in goat husbandry, Cluster 2 (21%) as households with high income from agriculture and dairying, Cluster 3 (18%) as households with low income from agriculture and dairying, Cluster 4 (22%) as households with high farm family labour involvement and high female labour involvement in goat husbandry and Cluster 5 (19%) as female headed households. Contribution of income from goat in animal husbandry income, farm income and household's total income for all clusters combined was 61.45, 14.23 and 7.01%, respectively. Share of income from goat was highest for cluster 3, implying that small ruminants like goats are most important for livelihood security of resource poor farmers. Hence, any improvement in goat production enhances the socio-economic status of the farmers, specially the rural poor.

Geo-referenced soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected from the farmers fields of Sehore (n = 120) and Vidisha (n = 156) district representing AESR 10.1 to establish the relationship between oxidizable SOC and total SOC in Vertisols of Central India and also to study the distribution of different pools of SOC as well as their relationship with crop yield. Total SOC was apportioned into different pools by using 5, 10 and 20 ml of concentrated H2SO4 that resulted in 3 acid-aqueous solution ratio of 0.5:1, 1:1 and 2:1. Also crop yields during the following winter season and rainy season from the geo-reference fields were recorded and were transformed to % relative yield. Oxidizable SOC (y) was related to total SOC (x) in the form of y = 0.825x â€“ 0.086 (R2 = 0.958, n = 276), indicating that oxidizable SOC comprised 82.5% of the total SOC. Therefore it was recommended that a correction factor of 1.21 should be used to convert oxidizable SOC values to get the estimate of total SOC. The mean crop productivity was better related to oxidizable SOC (r = 0.5275) as compared to total SOC(r = 0.4886). The threshold and optimum values of oxidizable SOC were 3.2 and 11.2 g C/kg, respectively, whereas the threshold and optimum values for total SOC were 3.87 and 14.1 g C/kg, respectively. Among the different pools, less labile C was highly correlated (r = 0.5871) with the crop productivity, the computed threshold and optimum value for less labile C were 1.53 and 5.2 g C/kg, respectively.

Published: September 2023

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important coarse cereal cultivated in many parts of the world since ancient times and mostly used as cattle & poultry feed. However, in India due to climate change and frequent drought especially in drier areas barley offers a better alternative to extreme climate such as drought and winter. In the present study 220 cultivated barley accessions of indigenous and exotic origin were evaluated for different agro-morphological traits. The material was evaluated during the 2011-12 growing season at DWR, Karnal where observations were recorded on 13 agro-morphological traits. The results showed high variability among the accessions for grain per spike, green fodder yield, grain yield, grain yield of regenerated crop, biological yield and harvest index (HI). Based on K-mean clustering pattern, the genotypes were grouped into five clusters having significant inter-cluster distances. Shannon-Weaver's diversity index (H) and Simpson's index (1/D) was used to assess the phenotypic diversity of traits for each cluster genotypes and overall. Shannon's diversity index revealed large diversity for most traits. The average H for the whole population was 0.91 with the lowest 0.74 for HI, the highest (1.01) for days to heading. The simple correlation coefficients among traits were estimated, which showed significant positive relations between grain yield with plant height (r = 0.25**), green fodder yield (r = 0.15*), grain yield of regenerated crop (r = 0.13*) and HI (0.19**), while negative correlation with days to heading (r = –0.35**). Sources for individual traits in different genotypes of barley clusters were identified which can be used as donors in hybridization programme for dual purpose barley improvement programme.

Crop-logging models developed showed that brinjal (Solamun melogena L.) crop yield could be predicted well in advance as early as 26 DAP using three biometrical traits (plant height, plant girth and plant spread north south ) to an extent of 71 %. As the DAP increases prediction of yield could be possible to an extent of 88%. Identification and removal of outliers in data set increased the prediction of models in the range of 31%, 33%, 34 and 8% respectively across four crop growth stages.
Assessing fluid shifts in the pediatric surgical patient: is bioimpedance a promising tool
Authors: Stevens S , Scheuerman M , Van Hoeck K , Saldien V
Published: September 2023

Background: assessing the fluid status of pediatric surgical patients is still a difficult task

Objectives: assessing fluid shifts pre- and postoperatively in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia using bioimpedance spectrometry (BIS) and assessing BIS in practice as a tool for fluid research in the anesthetic setting.

Design: single center prospective pilot study

Method: we included pediatric surgical patients age 2-16 yrs, the Total Body Water (TBW) was measured using the Body Composition Monitor (BCM, Fresenius Kabi) pre- and postoperatively. anesthetic management was otherwise routine. All patients were fasted following the ESA Guidelines (2011) and were allowed to have oral intake postoperatively. IV Fluid maintenance rate was calculated by the “4/2/1”rule (Holiday and Segar), fluid boluses were given when necessary. A fluid balance was calculated for each patient.

Results: 88 patients were screened, 28 included. 71% where male, median age (y) was 6 (IQR 3). 71% were in ambulatory setting. Median total fluid balance (ml/kg) was 27.3 (IQR 14), non-normally distributed. Mean TBW preop was 14.9 (95% CI:13.3;16.4) L and mean TBW postop was 14.4 (95% Ci: 12.8;15.9) L . the difference in TBW pre- and postop was non-significant (paired T test; 95% CI. p=0, 93; -0.33,1.36). There was no correlation between Total fluid balance and the TBW difference using Pearson correlation test (P= 0.32, 95% CI (-0.19, 0.52)).

Discussion: the BCM was not usable in the operating theatre due to electronic interference, limiting it’s perioperative usage. It is however easy and comfortable to use in pediatric patients on the ward. Sample size was smaller than anticipated limiting the power of the study. Most surgeries were performed in ambulatory setting with limited blood loss, short IV running time and no fluid resuscitation resulting in no significant difference in TBW pre- and postoperatively.

Conclusion: the BCM is not usable in the OR environment, but further research in more fluid demanding surgeries are needed.

The advancement in technology is revolutionizing the way activities of the 21 st -century business environment are being conducted. It saddening to note that despite the array of opportunities for jobs provided by technology, the high rate of unemployment among business education graduates has continued to be a course for concern. Therefore in a bid to stem this problem that it becomes imperative to determine the correlation between digital literacy and entrepreneurial intentions of business education students in tertiary institutions. The survey design was adopted for the study and the population of the study comprised 338 three hundred (300) level business education students in the 2022/2023 academic session from the four public tertiary institutions offering business education programmes in Anambra State. Two structured questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The data was analyzed using the Bivariate Pearson Correlation matrix and simple linear regression techniques. Technology skills, digital communication, digital safety, and media literacy were found to be substantially connected with the entrepreneurial inclinations of business education students.
Technical Guidance Note (Level 2, No. 18): Design of unreinforced masonry retaining walls
Authors: O'Regan Chris
Published: September 2023

This Technical Guidance Note is intended to act as an aide to those seeking to design an unreinforced masonry retaining wall. Following this guidance will prevent cracking and ensure that the wall performs as originally intended. The note will not cover the design of reinforced masonry retaining walls and variants of that form. Such reinforcement typically strengthens the wall itself against induced bending stresses and the wall’s geometry will therefore be somewhat different to that of an unreinforced retaining wall. The note will also not discuss the applied actions that a retaining wall will be subjected to, nor the construction of retaining walls. These subjects have previously been covered in the following Technical Guidance Notes: Level 1, No. 8: Derivation of loading to retaining structures and Level 1, No. 33: Retaining wall construction. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the content of both these notes.

Peregrynacje edukacyjne dzieci z rodzin ziemiańskich w świetle wybranych egodokumentów
Authors: Staniszewska Aleksandra
Published: September 2023

Celem artykułu jest omówienie wybranych peregrynacji edukacyjnych najmłodszych ziemian w świetle ich własnych wspomnień, a także dokumentów osobistych spisywanych przez ich rodziców. Zagadnienie to, pomimo rosnącego zainteresowania tematyką ziemiańską oraz aspektem podróży przedstawicieli tej warstwy, nie doczekało się osobnego omówienia. Pochylenie się nad nim wydaje się istotne ze względu na fakt, że takie peregrynacje stanowiły ważny aspekt kształcenia – umożliwiały one wzbogacanie wiedzy z zakresu historii, geografii, sprzyjały nauce obcych języków. W artykule podjęto także próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, jakie korzyści czerpali najmłodsi z peregrynowania. Na zakończenie przeanalizowano, na ile peregrynacje dzieci wpływały na ich dalsze życie.

Importance of methodological considerations in documenting psychological trauma
Authors: Vyshka Gentian , Elezi Fatime , Mana Tedi
Published: September 2023

The documentation of psychological trauma is obviously a challenge to clinicians while they are diving deep into remote events related to their clients or patients. The potential role of psychological trauma in the early developmental stages, and even the existence of adverse childhood experiences, is important to prove, yet it is difficult to do so. A diverse range of methods have been applied, all of which presumably benchmark a big therapeutic step; however, these enthusiastic methods frequently do not last for long. While hypnosis supporters, Freudian and Neo-Freudian disciples can be acute enough to enhance and uncover suppressed memories, modern psychiatry relies mostly on diversely structured interviews. Functional magnetic resonance and its related subtleties might help, but the questions that remain unanswered are numerous and confusing. Connecting early experiences with long-term memory while identifying psychological trauma its importance for the individual’s growth trajectory; thus, it remains an intriguing issue.
