ABSTRACT

Creating an understanding between the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency and related stakeholders to the community who will be the object of agrarian reform is the objectives of this research. The priorities among the SWOT components were carefully evaluated using a quantitative AHP-based SWOT analysis. SWOT aspects are used in this study, and a pairwise comparison technique and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). This study uses SWOT elements and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) pairwise comparison technique. The results of the comparison matrix show that the internal factor with the highest strength score is that agrarian reform can provide solutions to land problems, and the weakness is the absence or lack of assistance regarding agrarian reform activities.

In contrast, the external factors with the highest opportunities and threats are the budget allocation for agrarian reform activities and the lack of public enthusiasm for implementing agrarian reform. So, that to overcome this, several strategies are carried out, namely conducting pre-surveys related to potential locations that are used as objects with approaches and counseling to the community to create public understanding of agrarian reform. In addition, carry out long-term planning and analyze potential data and problems faced during the program.

Carbohydrate prolectin-M, a galectin-3 antagonist, blocks SARS-CoV-2 activity
Authors: Sigamani Alben , Chen-Walden Hana , Pahan Jayeeta , Miller Michelle C. , Mayo Kevin H. , Platt David
Published: July 2022

The SARS-COV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) virus binds to human lectins to gain entry into cells to replicate. Blocking the virus’s entry using a complex polysaccharide component of [a (1-6)- D-mannopyranose termed “ProLectin M” has an effect on viral replication as a therapeutic tool and a safe alternative to existing antiviral therapies. Little is known about how galectin-3 inhibits viral entry into cells and its impact on the course of viral infection. Here, we investigated the effect of these non-cytotoxic polysaccharides on Vero cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 and demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in viral load over a 48-hour viral incubation period. A pilot clinical study in five patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 disease was treated with an oral formulation of ProLectin M, and all patients achieved complete disease remission with zero hospitalization or need for oxygen support. Moreover, the viral load was significantly lowered within 2 days of drug administration. On the viral envelope, glycans often play a crucial role in enabling pathogen transmission and/or entry into susceptible target cells. On the molecular level, our NMR spectroscopic studies show that ProLectin M binds relatively strongly to galectin-3, supporting the idea of an antagonist effect on the lectin.

Authors: Tiwari Anshuman , Khalid Monowar Alam , Garg Manoj
Published: July 2022

Ethanol-distilleries are the key supporter to the world's economy, but these are moreover one of the major sources of environmental pollution that can impact the human heath if the effluents are not treated in proper manners. Distillery effluents with high biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) contains toxic chemicals which are reported to be of carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. One of the widely used technology for the distillery wastewater treatment is based on up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) technology along with activated sludge process. This technology has fulfilled a need for high efficiency treatment of wastes from various distilleries. With the increasing demands of distillery units and strict guidelines by government agencies for the environment protection, more efforts are required to achieve the zero liquid discharge (ZLD). The research reported in this paper is an effort to perform the in-situ study for evaluating the impact of varying retention times on the efficiency of the condensate Polishing Unit (CPU) based on UASB technology along with activated sludge process for ZLD. The primary objective was to determine pH, BOD and COD after increasing the HRTs in the aeration tank.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit resulting from androgen-induced increased sebum production,occurs most prominently at skin sites with a high density of sebaceous glands such as the face,chest, and back. Survivin is an evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic protein that is essential for cell division , can inhibit cell death, Normally it is only expressed in actively proliferating cells. Survivin has been found to be increased in keratinocyte proliferative and inflammatory states, which are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of the acne lesions.Foxo1 is considered to be a representative member of the FoxO family, and has key transcription regulatory activities FoxOs are homeostatic factors in healthy skin and in skin disorders,Foxo1 a master regulatory factor for gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, as well as a positive regulator of the expression of insulin, is part of signaling axes related to the control of epidermal morphogenesis and the pathogenesis of acne ,The study was a case –control design which conducted in dermatology Al-Musayyab General Hospital and Al Imam Sadiq Hospital,Murjan Teaching Hospital. with 45 patients with Acne volgaris  and  45 healthy controls, the level of serum survivin and  Foxo1 were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay  (ELISA).
Labour law, public policy, and migrant workers displacement during COVID-19
Authors: Anurag Aman , Khawas Amit , Choudhury Bhaskar
Published: July 2022

Many of India’s 19mn migrant workers have been displaced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown. Save for a select few that received assistance from their employers and local governments, many migrants were left to make their own arrangements to return home. This paper investigates the role of labour laws and policies in overcoming the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and this unequal impact on migrant workers. Given that consolidation and strengthening of labour laws and codes in India is a recent phenomenon, this paper argues that there is an opportunity to account for vulnerabilities faced by migrant labourers in particular. We review recent bills such as the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code recently passed by Parliament (2020). We provide a roadmap of labour laws and policies potentially required to safeguard migrant and minimum wage labourers from such shocks in the future.

Health has always played a crucial role in the development of human capital. It is a causative factor for the overall personal growth of an individual and helps in realizing human capabilities. Alongside other systems of social protection, proper health systems foster cohesive societies and contribute to well-being. Good health improves the overall quality of life by causing a reduction in the risk factors for medical diseases. Different organizations make different policies focused on the improvement of health conditions. In India, The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare works towards welfare & health related matters. While making a policy if we divide the entire population into groups based upon income slabs it will provide us a structure while making schemes. The primary objective is to statistically analyze the primary health conditions of the low income group using a survey that has been done for 433 respondents. In order to check the dependence of the relationship, Pearson’s chi-squared test (χ2) is carried out. The paper explains the causes for the prevailing primary health conditions with special reference to the capital state of Delhi.

end of the Muslim Sultanate era in Kashmir
Authors: Mir Ishfaq Ahmad
Published: July 2022

This paper will enumerate the last days of the rule of the Sultanate of Kashmir, which was originally founded in very tough conditions by a Swati Muslim commander, Shah Mir, later known as Sultan Shams din Shah Mir, and was counted to be the second Muslim king and first Sultan, who, according to all estimates, was considered the most important figure among the later Lahora nobility. Hindu rule usually ended with the defeat of Kota Rani at Inderkot Safapora, in 1339 A.D., which commenced the aeon of Sultans of Kashmir that lasted till 1561 A.D. We saw the remarkable development under the rule of many Shahmiris like Shahubdin, Sultan Sikander, and Zainul Abedin, which, by their sensibility or broad perspective, enhanced Kashmir's position from just a province to a country and tied it to other states of the epoch.
Women identity crisis in Northeast India
Authors: Chakma Monalisha , Pandey Neelam
Published: July 2022

Women are essential to the advancement and development of society, and there is no development tool more effective than the empowerment of women. Despite this, the world continues to waste a precious resource due to the hysterical underrepresentation of women in leadership roles, which frequently results in the exclusion of women's talents and skills in political life. Even though they have made outstanding progress in many fields and are frequently considered to be more privileged than other Indian states, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram are marginalized in the most crucial areas of life because their absence is considered in state-building processes like decision- and policy-making in government since the States' formation. Social identities and human rights violations are brought on by gender exclusion. The marginalized group, which includes minorities, women, and children, is largely excluded, which is regrettably a multifaceted phrase that encompasses social, economic, political, and cultural sectors.

Published: July 2022

The e-commerce delivery demand has developed quickly in the past two decades and such trend has intensified tremendously due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic. Given the situation, the requirement for forecasting e-commerce delivery demand and evaluating applicable logistics solutions is expanding. However, the present simulation models for e-commerce delivery demand are still limited and do not address the delivery alternatives and their properties that customers experience on ecommerce order placements. The inability to construct and monitor agent systems that have been deployed throughout a network is one of the primary challenges, along with ensuring that software agents are installed in a manner that is both secure and efficient. The field of multi-agent technology is one of the areas of information and communication technology that is advancing at one of the quickest rates. Virtually every day, new agent-based services, products, and applications are being developed. The coordination, control, and simulation of the architecture of decision support systems that are used in e-commerce are all performed with the use of an agent-based simulation model. The design that was recommended improves the decision support systems that are already in place and achieves a competitive advantage.

Machine Learning is having great importance in this era, since of its board spectrum of applications and its capability to adjust and give solutions to complex problems reliably, rapidly, and productively. Machine learning models trained with the data from past experiences and based on the learned data it produces outcomes. The data used for training with these machine learning models should be in balanced manner otherwise the model gives incorrect results. Data is having an important role in this scenario, and it is evident that most of the data are skewed towards some classes and this kind of skewness can be found in all sectors of data in real world. Multimajority datasets and multiminority datasets are the different types of imbalances viewed in multiclass datasets. In this study three different datasets from multimajority domain and three different datasets from multiminority domain are analysed. Six different resampling procedure were applied out of which three belongs to undersampling and three belongs to oversampling. Four different classifiers K-NN, SVM, Random Forest and XGBoost were used to create the various models and their performance were analysed in this study.

Published: July 2022

A study was conducted for two years (2003-2005) to find out the effect of age of ortets on performance of nursery. Cuttings of uniform length (clone PL-5) from one year old plants and from the branches of trees of 2, 3 and 4 year age were prepared. The trial was planted following randomized zblock design with four replications, only 12 cuttings were kept per plot. Data recorded on survival, height and collar diameter. The experiment was repeated during 2004-2005 with seven treatments (cuttings from 1, 3, 4, and 5 year old plants along with cuttings from last year treatments (after one year rejuvenation) and with plot size of 16 cuttings. During first year, significant treatment differences were observed for survival and collar diameter. The survival decreased from 94.17 per cent (control) to 16.67 per cent (4 yr age). The collar diameter was also the lowest in 4 year age (2.40 cm) and maximum in control (3.22 cm). Similar trend was witnessed during 2004-2005 with the highest values of survival, height and collar diameter in case of control. The progressive decrease in all parameters was observed as the age of cuttings increased (5 year). The cuttings from plants after one year rejuvenation (T5, T6 and T7) recorded relatively improved survival and growth parameters. However, these were significantly lower than those of control. This showed that cuttings from mature trees are not suitable for generating nursery stock.
The Effectiveness of Kenya Police Reforms on Service Delivery in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Authors: Mutua Charles Peter
Published: July 2022

Performance in the Police Service in Kenya has been deteriorating over the years. For this reason, the National Police Service has recently developed an ambitious plan for police reforms, aimed at transforming the Police Service into an institution that will be modern, efficient and effective and responsive to the needs and expectations of the public. However, there seems to be a problem in the police reform program. Accordingly, the present study sought to ascertain the effectiveness of police service reforms on service delivery in the Kenya Police Service in Nairobi County, Kenya. Its objectives are to establish the effectiveness of personnel reforms on service delivery in the Kenya Police Service in Nairobi County; to establish the effectiveness of financial reforms on service delivery in Kenya Police Service in Nairobi County; to establish the effectiveness of legal reforms on service delivery in Kenya Police Service in Nairobi County; and to establish the effectiveness of cultural reforms on service delivery in Kenya Police Service in Nairobi County; The study adopted a descriptive, survey design and was cross-sectional in nature. The study was delimited to Nairobi County, Kenya and the respondents comprised of junior cadre police officers who are the main operatives on patrols and front office desks. A sample of 351 respondents was selected from a target population of 2883 officers using stratified random sampling. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire while secondary data was collected through a review of relevant content. Out of the 351 questionnaires that were distributed to the targeted respondents, one hundred and two were correctly filled and returned. Data was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics and presented using a pie chart, tables and narration. The results reveal that police service reforms are broadly categorized as personnel reforms, financial reforms, legal reforms and cultural reforms. Additionally, it established that while some aspects of these reforms are seen to be effective or even extremely effective in enhancing service delivery, others are not. The implication here is that those in charge of police reforms should be more careful when deciding which types of reforms to enact as some are likely to be unsuccessful, or even unpopular, resulting in poor service delivery.

Cholera is a disease that can be dangerous if not treated immediately. The main symptoms are diarrhea, shock, and seizures. Children with cholera need serious treatment from medical personnel. The problem that often occurs is that there are not many doctors who are experts in this field, plus for people who are far from urban areas such as people who live in mountainous areas or remote villages it is very unlikely to be able to consult a doctor due to distance, cost and time factors. This study aims to build an expert system application that is able to diagnose cholera in children early by applying the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method, so that people, especially those who are far from urban areas, can find out more about cholera in children so that it can be treated more quickly. The KNN method can be implemented in a system that adopts the ability of experts to diagnose cholera in children. In applying the KNN method, symptom initialization is carried out by entering the density value and looking for the combination confidence value to get the diagnostic result. From this research, it can be concluded that the application that was built can be used to replace experts in helping to diagnose cholera in children early.

Proses pengambilan keputusan penyeleksian calon Polri saat ini masih dilakukan secara manual dalam penentuan calon Polri yang mempunyai kriteria-kriteria tertentu. Dimana dalam penyeleksian masih sering terdapat beberapa calon Polri yang diterima tidak sesuai dengan yang diinginkan. Maka perlu dibuat sebuah aplikasi yang mampu menentukan seleksi penerimaan calon polri yang optimal yang dapat membantu manajemen Polri dalam mengambil keputusan. Pembuatan sebuah aplikasi harus dibuat secara matang, supaya tampilannya mudah dipahami dan hasil nya bermanfaat dan memuaskan bagi para pemakai. Untuk keputusan yang berpengaruh secara strategis, lebih dianjurkan mengunakan sebuah pendekatan kuantitatif seperti Multifactor Evaluation Process (MFEP). Dalam pengambilan keputusan dengan Multifactor Evaluation Process (MFEP), pengambilan keputusan secara subyektif dan intuitif menimbang berbagai faktor yang mempunyai pengaruh penting terhadap alternatif pilihan yang dinginkan.

Kalkulator merupakan alat bantu hitung yang ditemukan oleh seorang matematikawan Prancis pada tahun 1642 yaitu Blaise Pascal. Hingga saat ini, perkembangan kalkulator telah berevolusi mulai dari segi ukuran, fitur, hingga performa kecepatan hitung yang semakin canggih. Penggunaan kalkulator dapat memudahkan manusia dalam melakukan operasi hitung aritmatika. Saat ini, terdapat kendala masalah pada proses pemasukan angka pada kalkulator sebagai contoh jika kita ingin menghitung nilai dari angka-angka pada media tulis seperti kertas, papan tulis atau media tulis lainnya, pengguna harus terlebih dahulu melihat teks satu persatu dan memasukkannya secara seksama karena jika terdapat kesalah dalam input angka maka hasil perhitungan juga akan mengalami kesalahan. Untuk mengatasi masalah diatas, penulis akan memanfaatkan teknologi Optical Character Recognition (OCR) dalam proses ekstrasi data teks pada suatu citra digital sehingga pengguna tidak perlu memasukkan angka ke dalam kalkulator satu persatu, pengguna hanya cukup mengambil gambar dari tulisan tangan perhitungan yang akan dilakukan dan sistem akan secara otomatis menghitung berdasarkan hasil ekstraksi dari OCR.
