The study on socio-economic status and constraints of the fishermen engaged in Sundarbans fishing revealed that the age group of the fishermen varied between <12 to 60 years of which 31-40 year group was dominant (26.91%), Most were scheduled Muslim (73.07%) and scheduled Hindus (23.08%) where higher caste was totally absent. Main occupation was fishing by bom (88.46%) with 11-20 years of experience. Among them 61.54% were illiterate, 30.77% were primary educated. Most of the fishermen were married (75.00%), leading joint family status with large family members (5-6). Most of the fishermen had own Dingi type hand operated wooden boat, the size varied from 10.6-11.6 m. They also had nylon made, own set bag net. A section of them had no boats and nets. They caught fish 261-280 days/year (71.15%) and spent an average of 8 hours/day (65.08%). The average general catch during pick season was 111-130 kg/month provided the income of 801-900 Tk./month, but during off season the income decreased to 401-500 Tk./month. During off-season they were found to be engaged in net making, mending, repairing, boat making and repairing, daily labour, fish sale, crab and fry collection etc. Most of the poor fishermen had grown the habit of taking loan or borrowing: most often (59.62%), some often (21.15%), a bit regular (11.54%) and never (7.69%). The resourceful poor fishermen suffered from various problems like unavailability of fund, piracy and extortion, licensing complication, ownership right of boat and net, lack of organized market, ice, electricity and mechanization.

Authors: Khan M.H.R.
Published: November 2022

Violation of matter-antimatter symmetry, the so-called CP violation, was only observed as a small effect in the decays of neutral K-meson in 1964. In the early of 1980s, it was pointed out that in the B meson decay the CP violation could be observed most significantly. In order to study the long-standing puzzle about the origin of the CP violation, the KEK B-factory has been constructed at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. Using the KEKB factory and the BELLE detector, an experimental study of the production and decay of B mesons is being carried out. In this paper the design, construction and expected experimental performance of the BELLE detector have been described.

A Novel Approach to Identify Difficult Words in English to Promote Vocabulary Acquisition of Children Dually Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Hearing Loss
Authors: EFEOĞLU Ebru , TUNA Ayşe
Published: November 2022

Usage of complex words causes significant problems not only in reading but in writing as well and eventually leads to poor academic achievement of students, poorer particularly for hearing impaired children. The dual diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and hearing impairment pose additional challenges mainly due to the difficulties that come with making accurate decisions. Hence, parents must be provided with the information about the signs and symptoms of ASD and deafness or partial hearing loss, as well as appropriate intervention strategies. Although different learning activities can be used to enlarge such children’s vocabulary, if the presented words are difficult to learn, it will be very hard to realize this. Identifying difficult words and replacing them with simple ones both make the readability of a text easier and help such children enhance their vocabulary knowledge in a shorter period of time. Therefore, in this study we propose a classification approach that identifies difficult words among a given set of words in English. The lexical and semantic features of the words in the dataset were extracted based on the language rules specific to hearing impaired children. In the classification approach, five popular classification algorithms were used and the algorithms' performance in identifying difficult words was evaluated using various performance metrics. As the results show, the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm is the most suitable algorithm for identifying difficult words in English for the target group.

Authors: TÜREL Vehbi
Published: November 2022

In this study, 56 participants’ (N= 56) perceptions towards dual coding in design of audio-only listening texts (i.e. re-provision of the same audio-only listening texts in the form of audio-only listening texts + keywords or supplementary contextual visuals + keywords at non-initial phases of the while listening stage) in a hypermedia listening application for foreign language learning (FLL) were investigated. The study also investigated whether there were any differences between the participants’ perceptions in terms of gender, age, job and FLL period. The study was both quantitative and qualitative in nature. The results of the study were analysed with SPSS (i.e. Mean, Std. Deviation, Independent Samples t Test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation test, Chi-square). The results revealed that the language learners (LLs) were overwhelmingly in favour of the use of the dual coding in design of audio-only listening texts (i.e. re-provision of the same audio-only listening texts in the form of audio-only listening texts + keywords or supplementary contextual visuals + keywords at non-initial phases of while listening stage) in a hypermedia listening application for FLL. The majority of the LLs believed that not only did such a design benefit them in different ways, but it also contributed to the enhancement of their learning. The participants also felt that such a design could and should have been further improved. Moreover, the results revealed that there were significant differences between the participants’ perceptions towards the re-provision of the same audio-only listening texts with keywords, and (supplementary contextual) visuals + keywords.
Impact of Vocabulary Teaching Approach in Turkish Curriculum on Turkish Textbooks and Use of Technology in Vocabulary Teaching
Authors: METE Filiz , ALİBAŞİÇ Berra , KÖKSAL Beyza
Published: November 2022

Knowing a word means knowing its pronunciation, spelling, concept area, and meaning layers. Vocabulary is never an area that can be learned completely by individuals; rather it is a field that expands and deepens throughout life. Vocabulary teaching requires much more than just looking up words in a dictionary or using them in a sentence. Vocabulary is formed either by coincidence through indirect exposure to words or by deliberate and planned acquisition of certain words with vocabulary learning strategies. In this respect, the materials and lesson plans for teaching vocabulary should be prepared to enable the individual to comprehend words with multiple meanings and to use them effectively. Because the vocabulary of an individual will directly have an impact on effective use of four basic skills of the language (listening, reading, speaking, and writing). In this study, the approach of the Turkish curriculum and Turkish textbooks to vocabulary teaching is examined and the areas of utilisation of web 2.0 tools in vocabulary teaching are exemplified within the scope of technological development. This research is a qualitative study using the data which were collected through document analysis. Data collection sources are Turkish course curricula and secondary school Turkish textbooks. Results of the study show that, there is a conflict between the curriculum and the textbook in terms of vocabulary teaching; the vocabulary teaching activities are monotonous and are predominantly associated with the reading skill which is just one of the four basic language skills; Turkish textbooks lack addressing to related technological tools. Moreover, the planning of vocabulary teaching in the Turkish curriculum is not clear enough. In this context, the present study introduces various web 2.0 tools for the interest of curriculum developers, textbook authors, and Turkish teachers to effectively teach vocabulary.
Wind Turbines Control Trends and Challenges: An Overview
Authors: Almihat Mohamed G Moh , Kahn Mohamed Tariq
Published: November 2022

Wind turbines (WTs) create electricity by utilizing the energy of the wind. As a result, wind turbine control and cost-effective operation were studied. The control system offers a long service life, maximum energy output, and safety. On control methods and control strategies, various ways for limiting and optimizing energy consumption were discussed. Integration of wind power may compromise the stability of the transient system. Asynchronous induction generators cannot handle the quantity of reactive power generated in wind energy applications. WTs are usually constructed to withstand inclement weather but not for high speeds or torque. Strong aerodynamic torques or rotational speeds are capable of destroying WT blades. To prevent this, WTs always have a cutout speed over which the turbine will be stopped by its brakes. When excessive wind speeds endanger the safety of the turbines, the WT employs a range of control techniques. As a result, all WTs are constructed using a power control method. This can regulate pitch and stall. Passive or active stall control can be applied to the WT. Therefore, this study analyzed the associated technologies, the maintenance of wind turbines, the cost, the many types of wind turbine controllers, and the negative effects and roadblocks unique to the wind energy industry.

Published: November 2022

Objective: To provide insight into the application effect of mobile nurse stations combined with refined management in the nursing of patients with postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: 120 patients with PPD admitted to our hospital in the past two years were selected as the study subjects. The patients were randomly segregated into group A and group B. Group A was given mobile nurse stations with refined management, while group B was administered with refined management alone. A comparative analysis of the psychological status of the 2 groups of patients was performed using the Addison PPD scale (EPDS). Nursing-related indicators, nursing deficit rate, quality of life (QOL), and nursing satisfaction between the 2 groups of patients were also compared. Results: The psychological status of patients in group A was significantly better than that of patients in group B after 6 months of nursing intervention (P<0.001). The PPD rate in group A was significantly lower than that in group B after 20 days and 6 months (P<0.05). The patients' language communication and nursing operation time were significantly longer for group A than for group B (P<0.001). In contrast, the number of trips to and from the nurse's stations and the number of times patients rang their bedside bells per day in group A was significantly lower than that of patients in group B (P<0.001). Group A exhibited a significantly lower nursing error rate than group B (P<0.05). In addition, the QOL domains scores of patients in group A were significantly higher than those of patients in group B (P<0.001). The nursing satisfaction of patients in group A patients was significantly higher than that of patients in group B (P<0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, these findings suggest that the combination of mobile nurse stations and the refined management model positively impacts the mental state of women with PPD, reduces the possibility of nursing errors, improves the comprehensive nursing effect and optimizes the maternal QOL. Therefore, further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of this model, and to understand the intricacies of its implementation in clinical practice.

Hepatitis B merupakan penyakit hati yang disebabkan oleh infeksi virus hepatitis B (HBV). Infeksi dari HBV ini dapat menyebabkan peradangan hati akut ataupun kronis yang dapat berlanjut menjadi sirosis hati atau kanker hati. Gambaran klinis, evaluasi tes fungsi hati merupakan kriteria yang digunakan dalam mendiagnosis penderita hepatitis B. Peningkatan kadar spartate Aminotransferase (AST) dan Alanin Aminotransferase (ALT) merupakan salah satu kriteria penting dalam mendiagnosis pasien dengan hepatitis B. Indonesia adalah negara endemik hepatitis B, salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan kasus hepatitis B meningkat di negara Indonesia dikarenakan kurangnya kesadaran tentang PHBS, kurangnya pengetahuan, dan faktor kelelahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar AST dan ALT pada penderita hepatitis B calon TKI. Datadiambil dari data primer pasien hepatitis B yang melakukan pemeriksaan kadar AST dan ALT periode Januari – April 2020 di klinik An-Nur Medikal Center. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 38. Data analisis menjelaskan bahwa ada hubungan antara wilayah endemik dengan peningkatan kadar AST dan ALT faktor kelelahan, dan HBsAg dengan kadar AST dan ALT pada calon TKI. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa wilayah endemik, faktor kelelahan, dan HbsAg dapat mempengaruhi peningkatan kadar AST dan ALT.

Tabel Mortalita Indonesia digunakan sebagai referensi perusahaan asuransi di Indonesia dalam menentukan premi. Tabel Mortalita Indonesia menggunakan data yang diperoleh dari perusahaan-perusahaan asuransi di Indonesia. Namun, terdapat kemungkinan perbedaan distribusi agen pada setiap asuransi jiwa di Indonesia yang mengakibatkan perbedaan karakteristik nasabah asuransi jiwa di Indonesia. Oleh sebab itu, setiap perusahaan asuransi jiwa di Indonesia diharapkan memiliki tabel mortalitas yang menggambarkan karakteristik dari nasabah perusahaan asuransi jiwa itu sendiri. Tabel Mortalita Taspen 2012 adalah tabel mortalita yang dibuat oleh PT. Taspen (Persero). Paper ini menguji apakah TMT 2012  dengan TMI 2011 menunjukkan perbedaan yang nyata pada rata-rata tingkat kematian. Data tingkat kematian pada TMT 2012 dan TMI 2011 tidak mengikuti distribusi normal dan distribusi lainnya sehingga lebih tepat menggunakan uji nonparametrik Mann-Whitney dan diperoleh kesimpulan kedua tabel mortalita tersebut tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang nyata pada rata-rata tingkat kematian.

Published: November 2022

Pembangunan bidang konstruksi yang semakin pesat  membawa konsekwensi bagi pekerja karena hampir semua proyek konstruksi mempergunakan mesin yang menghasilkan kebisingan yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan pendengaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi dan faktor risiko yang berpengaruh terhadap gangguan pendengaran pada pekerja konstruksi. Menggunakan desain cross sectional, penelitian dilakukan bulan Februari - Juni 2021. Populasi penelitian adalah pekerja disalah satu proyek konstruksi di Jakarta Timur dengan sampel sebanyak 200 orang. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner dengan analisis utama menggunakan uji chi square. Sebesar 74,5% pekerja konstruksi Indonesia terpajan bising dengan prevalensi keluhan gangguan pendengaran adalah 51%. Kebiasaan mendengarkan musik yang keras secara signifikan berhubungan dengan keluhan gangguan pendengaran pada pekerja konstruksi. Pajanan kebisingan, umur, masa kerja, penggunaan alat pelindung telinga, dan kebiasaan merokok tidak berhubungan secara signifikan terhadap keluhan gangguan pendengaran. Perlu dilakukan edukasi pekerja tentang dampak bising baik yang berasal dari pekerjaan maupun diluar pekerjaan serta tindakan pencegahannya untuk melindungi pekerja dari gangguan pendengaran yang lebih berat.

This paper is focused on study of the concentration of the basic catalyst in methanol on the yield of the derivatization transesterification reaction of triacyglycerols. Potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide solutions were used as basic catalysts. Triacylglycerols were transesterified, rapeseed oil was used as a sample. Triacylglycerols were converted to methyl esters of fatty acids, which were subsequently determined by GC-MS where the peak areas were monitored, because they represent the yield of the formed fatty acid methyl esters, namely palmitic, oleic, linoleic and stearic acids. The highest yield of transesterification of the oil to methylesters of fatty acids was found for a concentration of 3.0 mol dm–3 for KOH and 2.0 mol dm–3 for NaOH. At higher catalyst concentrations, a predominant side-reaction, saponification, was observed, which decreased the overall yield of fatty acid methyl esters.

The objective of this study was to select suitable experimental conditions for extraction of coumarin by Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE). Type of extraction solvent, extraction time and temperature were optimized to increase the extraction yield of coumarin from samples of cinnamon and foods containing cinnamon. Optimal UAE conditions include extraction time of 10 min, temperature of 50 °C and extraction solvent based on choline chloride and ʟ-lactic acid. The extraction yields were comparable to traditional solvents – water and methanol.

Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a rare condition characterized by an unexplained deficit of circulating CD4 T cells leading to increased risk of serious opportunistic infections. Reactivation and severe symptomatic CMV is also a rare case, except in immunocompromised patient. Patient concerns are 36-year-old male patient complained seizure, fever, cough, and dyspnea. History of chronic urticaria and prolonged Mebhydrolin consumption. HIV was negative. CD4 was low. Diagnosis in this case is Viral encephalitis, Viral pneumonitis, CMV reactivation, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis immunodeficiency state. The results in this study indicate that the patients were treated with conventional therapies for Severe CMV infection with Acyclovir. Steroid was given for the last five days. The first day after administration of therapy showed clinical and laboratory improvement. Laboratory values returned to normal values on the fifth day of therapy. Since the second day after the therapy was given, the patient had no complaints. In cases of CMV reactivation, an immunodeficiency condition should be suspected. A comprehensive history, physical examination, laboratory and radiological examination, adequate therapy and and policy support are required to establish a definite diagnosis and reduce the risk of mortality.

Özet
Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de BIST Sürdürülebilirlik Endeksinde yer alan farklı sektörlerde faaliyette bulunan şirketlerin çevresel düzenlemeler ve uygulamalara yönelik gerçekleştirmiş oldukları çevre muhasebesi kapsamında yer alan çevresel harcamaların firmaların finansal performansı üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Türkiye’de BIST Sürdürülebilirlik Endeksinde yer alan ve farklı sektörlerde faaliyet gösterip tesadüfi olarak seçilen 18 şirketin 2015-2020 yılları arasındaki finansal ve sürdürülebilirlik raporlarından elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Finansal veriler Kamu Aydınlatma Platformu’ndan, sürdürülebilirlik raporları ise şirketlerin web sitelerinden elde edilmiş olup söz konusu veriler sistem-GMM veri analizi yardımı ile ölçümlenmiştir. Şirketlerin çevresel harcamalarının kullanılan sermayenin getirisi (ROCE) üzerindeki etkisinin araştırıldığı bu çalışmada; bağımsız değişken çevre harcamaları, bağımlı değişken kullanılan sermaye getirisi ve kontrol değişkeni olarak da firma büyüklüğü belirlenmiştir. Sistem-GMM yöntemi ile yapılan analiz sonucunda çevre maliyetleri ve kullanılan sermayenin getirisi arasında negatif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiş olup çevre maliyetlerinde gerçekleştirilecek %1'lik artışın kullanılan sermayenin getirisini % 0.08 oranında azalttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın gerçekleştirilmesi sırasında BIST Sürdürülebilirlik Endeksinde yer alan şirketler tarafından yayımlanan sürdürülebilirlik raporlarının bazılarında çevresel harcama tutarlarının hiç belirtilmediği veya farklı para birimleri cinsinden belirtildiği gözlenmiştir. Bu durum, yapılacak ampirik çalışmalardaki örneklem seçim ve tespitini sınırlamaktadır.
