Published: October 2023

Crop insurance is a necessary crop loss coverage facility to be acquired by farmers and agricultural producers to defend them to counter the causalities due to natural calamities. One Nation-One Scheme is the theme of Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY). PMFBY provides a widespread insurance cover against failure of the crops and helps in stabilizing the income of the insured farmers. There are very less number of study reports on PMFBY impacts as this is a new scheme, therefore, a study is required to find out the attitude of farmers towards PMFBY scheme to obtain the feedback of the scheme. Hence, a study was carried out in Hingna tehsil of Nagpur district of MH in the year 2021-22, to know the attitude of farmers towards Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY). The study revealed that 70.00 per cent of the farmers belonged to medium (Favourable attitude) level of attitude followed by most unfavourable attitude (18.33%) and most favourable attitude (11.67%) level of attitude towards Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. The data indicates that the respondents’ characteristics namely education, extension contact, economic motivation, sources of information and knowledge were positively and strongly correlated at 0.01 level of probability while age was negatively correlated at 0.01 level of proabability and risk orientation was positively correlated at 0.05 level of probability with attitude of responded farmers towards PMFBY.

To the question of the history of methods for teaching listening comprehension
Authors: Talikina Elizaveta
Published: October 2023

The article presents the history of teaching methods for listening comprehension in Russian and foreign language teaching since the middle of the 20th century till the present day. In the framework of the Grammar- and Lexis-translation methods listening is not an obligatory part of foreign language learning and is considered as a supporting passive skill. In contrast, oral speech perception becomes of primary importance in the Audiolingual and Total physical response methods and Natural approach. For the first time, technology such as language labs and various audio materials comes into use. Next, the Strategy-based approach is designed for teaching listening. The Communicative approach and Content Based Instruction are characterised with balanced teaching of all skills. Thus, the article distinguishes the period when listening comprehension was not compulsory (till the middle of the 20th century); the period, when it played a key role in language teaching (60–70s) and the period when all skills are believed to be equally important (since 80s). A new milestone in listening research is 90s when new approaches for classification of listening skills, micro-skills and types are designed. At this time, a psycholinguistic side of speech perception becomes of interest. In the 21st century significance of teaching listening is reflected in Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The article shows a changing status of listening during the considered time period — from a supporting passive skill to a complex active skill involving a number of processes.

Published: October 2023

In the energy transfer field, non-Newtonian fluid flow has an inclusive range of applications in the movement of biological fluids, oceanography, coating energy exchanger technology, melt-spinning, and the cooling of metallic plates and suspensions. Given these applications, this study examines the numerical simulation of hydromagnetic non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid flow on a horizontal plate through a porous medium. The numerical investigation of the current mathematical model is analyzed by taking the impact of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), porous, radiation, energy generation, and Soret/Dufour with a thermal slip boundary condition. Partial differential equations with nonlinearities are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity variables. The eminent numerical Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth order via inbuilt software bvp4c in MATLAB and entropy generation analysis are used to determine the solution to the equations. Results were discussed via plots for Soret/Dufour effects for temperature, concentration, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number profiles. The fundamental goal and novelty of this study are to find the Bejan number (Be) and total entropy generation (Ns) for the parameters MHD, Reynold number (Re), radiation parameter (Rd), dimensionless temperature, and concentration ratio variables. We validated our code with existing work and obtained good matching. The difficult findings of this investigation are that the Ns profile surges for Re, Rd, porous, and MHD parameters but decreases for the dimensionless temperature ratio variable, and the Be profile increases for all the abovementioned parameters.
A COMPACT HONEYCOMB-STRUCTURED RECONFIGURABLE ANTENNA WITH COPLANAR WAVEGUIDE FEED FOR MULTIBAND WIRELESS APPLICATIONS
Authors: Subashini Venugopalan , Chitra S.
Published: October 2023

The design and implementation of reconfigurable antennas in wireless applications play a tremendous role in minimizing the hardware size of wireless devices. An antenna with the potential to vary its frequency of operation, radiation pattern, and polarization according to the requirement is known as a reconfigurable antenna. Here a novel honeycomb-structured frequency and pattern-reconfigurable monopole antenna has been designed. A honeycomb structure provides better bandwidth as it has multiple edges; angles of the hexagon allow for more efficient radiation and reception of electromagnetic waves and it offers a symmetric radiation pattern. It is compact, with higher packing density. A lowcost FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 1.5 mm and a compact size of 25 mm × 42 mm is used in the design. The antenna can be operated in four modes using two PIN diodes. In mode 0 it can resonate at 2.4 GHz, which is commonly used for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication, while in mode 1 it operates at 2.8 GHz and 1.8 GHz for mobile communication. In mode 2 it operates at 2.7 GHz as well as 1.8 GHz, and in mode 3, it works at 1.8 GHz and 3.6 GHz for WiMAX communication. This antenna has a peak gain value of 3.99 dBi. Thus, by changing the geometry/structure, antenna performance can be improved. The proposed design is fabricated on FR-4 substrate material, and the parameters such as return loss (S11) and bandwidth are validated. The simulated results and the measured results match well.

Authors: Muneer Abduroaf
Published: October 2023

A Muslim man can marry a maximum of four women at a time in terms of Islamic law. These women may include Muslim women, Christian women, and Jewish women. It is noted that a Christian and Jewish widow would not inherit from the intestate estate of her deceased Muslim husband in terms of the Islamic law of intestate succession. This article analyses the problems with this type of discrimination within the South African context. Interfaith marriages between Muslims and non-Muslims are looked at first. Then the disqualification of a Christian widow inheriting from her deceased Muslim husband’s estate in terms of the Islamic law of intestate (compulsory) succession and testate (optional) within the South African context is discussed. The article concludes with an overall analysis of the findings and makes a pertinent recommendation.

La investigación sobre lo vivo y la vida en el proyecto curricular Licenciatura en Biología: una apuesta por la experiencia de los maestros de biología
Authors: Serrato Rodríguez Deysi
Published: October 2023

Este artículo de investigación visibiliza algunas prácticas alrededor de la investigación sobre lo vivo y la vida en el Proyecto Curricular Licenciatura en Biología de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. Para ello, se recurre a la perspectiva metodológica genealógica y a la caja de herramientas propuesta por Michel Foucault, configurando un archivo de 212 fuentes documentales entre las que se encuentran textos propios del DBI, política educativa, artículos de investigación, entre otros; los cuales son desarticulados y organizados en fichas temáticas con el fin de identificar enunciados y relaciones a propósito de los conceptos metodológicos: experiencia, poder-gobierno y subjetivación. Los hallazgos refieren que el Proyecto Curricular ofrece distintos espacios para pensar la investigación sobre lo vivo y la vida desde el maestro de biología, estos son: la práctica educativa integral, la práctica pedagógica, el trabajo de grado y los acercamientos a las diferentes líneas de investigación del Departamento. Finalmente, se puede enunciar que la investigación se asume como experiencia, en tanto es condición para la transformación de los maestros y la construcción de saber pedagógico; es un ejercicio que despliega relaciones a partir de las cuales los maestros ven, dicen y actúan sobre sí mismos, sobre los otros y lo otro, condicionados por unos modos de comprensión sobre la biología, lo vivo, la vida y la pedagogía.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) first appeared in China and spread globally in a short time. It was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Pandemics are a human problem. Due to the risk posed by COVID-19 on human health, all production and service workplaces around the world have slowed down their activities. These developments have caused significant labor and production losses. The most effective and practical way to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus; although there are physical distance, personal hygiene and mask applications, these do not constitute a definitive solution. Governments, organizations, employers and workers are facing important challenges to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and protect safety and health in the workplace. Unsafe workplace conditions and inappropriate working principles lead to significant health risks in the workplace. COVID-19 causes negative effects in all areas where people are present, such as health, social, economic, education, construction, manufacturing, transportation and trade. In this study, protective measures that can be taken are evaluated by reviewing the literature on the negative effects of COVID-19 on human health and therefore on workforce loss.

In addition to additional safety measures in the prevention of COVID-19, basic occupational health and safety (OHS) control methods were evaluated in the following order: (1) elimination / substitution, (2) engineering controls, (3) organizational controls, and (4) personal protective equipment (PPE). In addition to the protection of health, due to the effective safety measures, the stress caused by COVID-19 will decrease in people, so comfort in their social lives and productivity in their work lives will be increased. Therefore, governments, employers and workers' organizations have to form a joint organization with universities and health institutions.

Heat exchangers are utilized in a vast region of the process industry for heating and cooling. Long-term operation of heat exchangers results in decreased efficiency due to many problems, such as fouling. Therefore, the object of this research paper is to use three artificial intelligence techniques (feedforward neural networks-multilayer perceptron (FNN-MLP), nonlinear autoregressive networks with exogenous inputs (NARX), and support vector machines (SVM-RBF)) for predicting the fouling resistance in the tube and the shell heat exchanger in the preheating circuit of atmospheric distillation. The results summarize the high training as well as the predictive capacity of the "FFNN-MLP" model for predicting the fouling resistance in the heat exchanger with the highest coefficient of correlation (R = 0.99961) and the lowest root-mean-squared error (nRMSE = 1.0031%) for the testing phase, where the FNN-MLP network is superior to that provided using the SVM model (R = 0.9955 and nRMSE = 3.8652%). All the models of artificial networks and machine learning techniques used in the current work can be used to predict the fouling resistance in heat exchanger data with high accuracy. Despite this, the FNN-MLP model is the preferred model compared with the other proposed models, followed by the NARX model.

BACKGROUND: The issues of therapy of dependence on psychoactive substances remain relevant at present, focusing on the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of these patients in the first place.

AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of a course of Cytoflavin in patients with alcohol dependency during the post-abstinence period.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: An open, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of the antioxidant Cytoflavin (10 mL/day, 5 days) effectiveness to correct emotional and motivational disorders after the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome was performed in 30 patients with alcohol dependency. Anamnestic information, the clinical picture of the disease, and psychological tests the Holmes and Rage method (the degree of stress tolerance and social adaptation) and alcohol consumption motivation test (ACMT) were used to verify alcohol dependency. Before and after Cytoflavin treatment, the psychological indicators and complaints were recorded. According to the alcohol intake questionnaire, the psychological state of the patients was assessed based on a package of standard psychological tests, including the Wasserman test (level of neuroticism), Spielberger test (level of anxiety), Hamilton test (level of depression), SAN test (self-assessment of well-being, activity, and mood), and degree of craving for alcohol. For pairwise conjugated variants, the significance of differences was determined using the Students t-test; statistical analysis was performed using the standard Statistica for Windows software package.

Bu çalışmada amaç, 2004-2020 dönemi için AB-27 ülkesi, Birleşik Krallık ve Türkiye örnekleminde sanayi sektörünün öğrenme etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma sürecinin ilk aşamasında panel veri analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda yatay kesit bağımlılığı testi, panel birim kök testi, homojenlik testi ve eş bütünleşme ön testleri yapılmış, uzun dönem katsayı tahmini için Ortak İlişkili Etkiler testi kullanılmış ve örneklem grubu içerisindeki her ülke bazında öğrenme esnekliği katsayısı tahmin edilmiştir. Araştırma sürecinin ikinci aşamasında hesaplanan öğrenme esnekliği katsayısı, öğrenme oranı formülünde yerine koyularak, sanayi sektörü için her ülke örnekleminde öğrenme oranları hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda sanayi sektörü için öğrenme oranının en düşük olduğu ülkelerin Almanya, Bulgaristan ve Avusturya; en yüksek olduğu ülkelerin ise İspanya, Yunanistan ve Birleşik Krallık ülkeleri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sanayi sektöründe Türkiye’nin öğrenme oranları AB ülkelerinin ortalama öğrenme oranlarından daha yüksek olarak hesaplanmıştır.

Bu çalışmada tarım iletişimi kavramı, önemi, tarım iletişimi çalışmaları tanımlanmıştır. Global ölçekte ve bölgemizde yaşanan salgın hastalık, kuraklık ve savaşlar insanların açlıkla mücadele etmek için tarımı yeniden gündeme taşımıştır. Tarım son yılların en önemli konu başlığı olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı; tarım iletişimini sağlamaya dönük faaliyetler yürüten Agricities’i ele almaktır. Agricities, merkezi Konya’da olan Dünya çapında uluslararası bir birlik olup Türkiye’nin bu alanda ilk ve tek kuruluşu olarak dikkatleri çekmektedir. Bu araştırma, tarım iletişimi, önemi ve çerçevesi konuları bağlamında hazırlanmış bir makale olup araştırmada içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda Agricities’in tarım iletişiminin merkezinde yer alan yeni kurulmuş bir kurum olması dolayısıyla sosyal medya kanallarında aktif olduğu görülmüştür. Agricities’e üye olan belediyeler arasında 11 yurt dışı 11 de yurt içinden belediyenin örnekleminde yapılan araştırma ile Türkiye belediyelerinin Instagram, Twitter ve Facebook sosyal medya organlarını yurt dışında üye belediyelerine nazaran daha aktif kullandıkları; Afrika belediyelerinin ise ekonomik sebeplere bağlı olarak dijital altyapının yetersiz olması ile ilişkili olarak sosyal medyayı aktif kullanmadıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. En çok kullanılan uygulamanın video ve fotoğraf paylaşımına imkan sağlayan ilk sosyal medya kanalı olması dolayısıyla Facebook olduğu ortaya çıkmış olup burada tarım iletişimi başlığı altında yapılan paylaşımların toplam paylaşımların yaklaşık yüzde 3’ünü oluşturduğu gözlenmiştir. Sosyal medyada tarım iletişimi paylaşımlarının yurt dışı belediyelerinde daha yoğun olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Birliğe üye belediyelerin paylaşımlarında Agricities vurgusu yapmadıkları görülmüştür.

Published: October 2023

Milkfish (Chanos chanos) is one of the fisheries products that are cultured among countries in Southeast Asia. Milkfish processing, particularly deboned milkfish, is available in the market and the demand of this product is increasing as a protein source. The increase of deboned milkfish demand in Thailand stimulates production units to expand their production line. However, the official information about the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions of milkfish rearing and deboned process is still unknown. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the GHG emissions from the production of deboned milkfish. The result revealed that CO2 emission was the major GHG of the deboned milkfish production. The CO2 emission from all units was 16.47 kg and the main source of emission was the use of electricity. The N2O emission of all units was 4.99 kg and the major source of emission was the ebullition from milkfish ponds. Emission of CH4 of all units was 0.06 kg and the main source of emission was the ebullition from milkfish ponds. The emissions of N2O or NOX exhibited the highest global warming potential in terms of kgCO2 eq. This finding suggests that improvement of fish ponds environment particularly the microbial activities in the bottom of the ponds should be considered. Good practice of feeding process, water quality control and maintaining the water depth in the pond can help to reduce the GHG emission. Application of alternative energy such as wind and solar energy can help to reduce the use of electricity and the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Granting special autonomy to Aceh Province is the government's response to support sustainable development in post-conflict. This study aims to optimize the management of Otsus funds for the overall welfare of the Acehnese people, with the ultimate goal of achieving independence. This study focuses on explaining and addressing issues related to managing the special autonomy fund and strengthening institutions to realize sustainable development and prosperity for the Acehnese. Descriptive qualitative research methodology was employed, involving data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The analysis utilizes the accountability and transparency theory to evaluate fund management practices in Aceh. Findings revealed that the special autonomy fund has not been effectively implemented due to weak institutional capacity, hindering sustainable development and welfare. Transparent fund management aligned with good governance has not been optimally achieved. The dominance of local political elites in policy-making has led to ineffective government management of the special autonomy fund, while bureaucratic efforts have yielded limited results. Nonetheless, Aceh has undergone some changes over the past 15 years, although not yet significant.

This research analyzes President Trump and Jokowi’s speeches on the Paris Agreement. The descriptive qualitative approach was employed in this study. The Critical Discourse Analysis model examines the connections among language, ideology, and power. Van Dijk’s Discourse Analysis Model was used in critical discourse analysis to examine President Trump’s speech. NVivo 12 was further utilized to gather and evaluate the data. The study highlighted a significant contrast in how presidents handle the Paris Agreement. Despite a lack of factual evidence, Trump tried to amplify the perception that the United States is unfairly targeted in environmental efforts, while President Jokowi supported and favored the agreement. Through discourse analysis, the stance of political leaders and public opinion could influence the acceptance of the Paris Agreement.

Authors: Gupta Shubham kr. , Kumar Sourya
Published: October 2023

Anterior maxilla continues to present with height risk for aesthetic failure, and as a result their is a clear need modifications that would allow for natural looking restorations that are harmonious with the rest of the mouth.

To aim of this study was to evaluate the results of single tooth implant treatment in diabetic patient where the teeth have been lost as a result of trauma. Bicortical basal implant for rehabilitation of mouth is gaining popularity and emerging as a gold stranded technique in recent times. This approach help in improvising the patient aesthetic for a longer duration and provide a permanent solution. Bicortical screw are implanted in heavily corticated bone (basal bone) and is less vulnerable to infection and failure. In patients with diabetic history convention dental implants is generally contraindicated and has high failure rate. To overcome this and provide a better solution need of alternative treatments has arisen. In our study of a case report, we used bicortical dental implant for replacing the missing maxillary anterior tooth with fixed prosthetic. Interesting, though, the patients had diabetes. We found positive out come with favourable prognosis. No any significant complications were noticed and implant was successful. A Retrospective studies of various published literature and observation of our patient for a period of 12 month. We conclude that bicortical dental implants with immediate loading may be used for rehabilitating mouth in diabetes patient after evaluation of various factors such as, blood sugar levels, Cost, time and preference of patient.

Using a methodology developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), this paper estimates forward-looking effective tax rates on corporate income for 21 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. When compared with countries in other regions, the results show that effective average and marginal tax rates on corporate income in LAC countries tend to be high, with several countries ranked among those with the highest effective tax rates in the large sample. This is mainly due to relatively high corporate income tax (CIT) statutory rates and tax provisions that are less generous than those observed in other jurisdictions (e.g., allowances for corporate equity, half-year conventions, inventory valuation methods). Results also show that there is wide heterogeneity of effective tax rates across LAC countries and across asset categories, pointing toward non-neutralities in the CIT system, which do not always seem to be intended or justified by the existence of market failures. In addition, ETRs were also increased by the macroeconomic context over the period 20172021, as LAC countries had higher real interest and inflation rates. These results indicate that there is ample space for reforming CIT systems in LAC to improve their neutrality.
