Authors: M. Etale Lyndon , P. T. Bailey Amaka,
Published: May 2021

This study examined the relationship between bank lending to agricultural sector and agricultural earnings in Nigeria using secondary data obtained from various editions of the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletins. Secondary data collected for the selected study variables covered ten years period from 2009 to 2018. The study adopted bank loans and advances to agriculture, interest rate, and inflation as independent variables, while agricultural earnings representing gross national agricultural output was used as dependent variable. The study employed descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis based on the OLS technique assisted by the E-view 10 computer software as the statistical tools for data analysis. The results revealed that all the independent variables had positive relationship with agricultural earnings. Specifically, bank loans and advances to agriculture had statistically significant effect on agricultural earnings. The regression results also showed that the coefficient of determination (R-squared) value of 0.86 indicates that 86% of changes in the dependent variable (AGE) were explained by the combined effect of changes in the independent variables. The study concluded that bank lending to the agricultural sector has a significant positive relationship with agricultural earnings in Nigeria. The study recommended among others that the CBN should step-up policy making, execution and monitoring of bank lending to agriculture; and that the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture should declare a state of emergency on agriculture and make the sector more attractive and viable for investment.

There are billions of passwords in the world today, with more being created every hour of every day, making them a bane of the modern era. The usage of passwords is becoming more common despite the inadequacies [1]. This is making it more tedious and overwhelming for the users to manage, with the passwords being long and unique. In this paper, we propose a solution to securely manage and organize passwords while requiring the user to keep track of only a single password. As our solution is in the form of a browser extension, there is no need for server-side changes. Unlike other password managers, our extension is a lightweight application and is highly resistant to brute force attacks. We discuss the need for a password manager, the construction of our extension along with the security overview.

Dentre os biocombustíveis atuais, o biodiesel destaca-se pelo aumento da demanda nos últimos anos e este quadro é consequência de muitas vantagens, principalmente em relação ao meio ambiente. Em todo processo industrial, há formação de subprodutos e resíduos que podem se tornar possíveis contaminantes ambientais, não seria diferente na produção de biodiesel. Dentre os resíduos gerados neste processo, os efluentes aparecem em lugar de destaque e essa produção massiva acaba gerando um grande volume. Tais efluentes apresentam em sua composição glicerina, álcool, traços do catalisador entre outros, que impedem seu descarte em rios e solos. Para a realização do tratamento dos efluentes com objetivo de inseri-los dentro das legislações ambientais vigentes, produtores tem encontrado muitos problemas operacionais, econômicos e ambientais. Objetivou-se apresentar um possível meio de atenuação do problema da destinação a ser dada ao efluente gerado pela produção de biodiesel, introduzindo a proposta de políticas de produção mais limpa e aplicando uma solução de reuso aos efluentes. Acrescentando-o à glicerina, que consiste em um subproduto de baixo valor comercial gerado na produção de biodiesel. É necessário destacar que a realização dessa mistura provoca um aumento no volume da glicerina, o que acaba por gerar um aumento no valor financeiro, fato benéfico para as indústrias, uma vez que o efluente representa apenas custos enquanto que a glicerina representa lucro. Os resultados obtidos ao longo da pesquisa mostraram a viabilidade, uma vez que houve um decréscimo considerável dos fatores poluentes envolvidos nas análises.

This effort is based on a systematic and cognitive conviction that the investigation problem of investigation does not depend on the purely technical dimension, but rather on a rereading of the Middle Ages concerned by the study, a political reading in the light of indicators capable of explaining the nature of stability, or the transformation / change in the stages that marked the Middle Ages. And if the obsession behind this affair is to circumvent the quadruple or dynastic survey that was implemented out in the survey of the middle Ages. Without taking into account the facts and phenomena supporting the accounting or rejection of this division, then the work is, in essence repose to the rejection of the two previous surveys because of their methodological limitations and shortcomings cognitive. And then think that the medieval age and in the western wing of the Islamic world is not in phase with its historical half, the quadruple European investigation of the differentiation in the mechanisms of measurement and its principles, and latent in the requirements of the same era and its indicators, which allowed the possibility of a political inquiry based on the basis of the foundations of the state And its characteristics, and I intended to distinguish between the sectarian era-tribal and religious, and its evolution towards symbolic "sectarianism" based on symbolic connections, including honor, trust tee ship and jihad, to conclude that this golden age is subject in its nature to three phases which are not necessarily homogeneous, the founding period, and the era of qualitative transformation and the era of turning point and transformation
THE BREAKDOWN OF SOCIAL SYSTEM AND THEIR REFLECTION ON POST-2003 NARRATIVES
Authors: Badr HUSSEIN Hutham
Published: May 2021

(Parsons) defines the social system, of several definitions, and perhaps the clearest one is the one in which he believes that the social system is composed of two or more actors (individuals), each of whom occupies a distinct social position or and plays a distinct role, as it is an organized pattern that governs relations between individuals Or a network of interactive relationships that organizes their rights and duties towards each other, as it is a framework of common standards or values, as well as it includes different types of symbols and different cultural issues. While the novel is a very complex structure, and it is difficult to imagine that it was born with an individual invention and without a basis in the social life of the group, it is not possible to imagine that this complex form has no similarity or dialectical relationship between it and the social life of the heroes, this literary form depicts the daily relationship of people. And their different relationships with the society in which they live, the novel as seen by (René Girard) is what reveals the truth about man and reveals the inauthenticity of the human being. And if we know that some see that the literary creator is no less important than the social world, but that he surpasses him in many stages due to his delicate sensitivity and his ability to capture the parts of social life, the anatomy of individuals’ psyche, and to track the stages of social change and their implications for values and behavior And the directives, to what extent was the social system in Iraq able to maintain its social patterns, and what led to the collapse of that coherent system of social systems? And how was the Iraqi novel able to reverse this collapse in all its details? All this we will review in this research, which will be taken from novels published after 2003, material for it, and these narrations are: 1. The novel: Death in the Cherry Field.by the novelist Azhar Gerges. 2. The novel: The Killers, by the novelist Dia al-Khalidi. 3. The novel: the name on the soles, of the novelist Dia Jebili

Max Weber was concerned with aestheticism within the framework of the sciences of sociology and philosophy. He explained its effect on communication among different societies, on the one hand, and looked at it as a state that aimed to demonstrate beauty in a certain matter, on the other hand. Therefore, it is known as the quality that makes a thing an aesthetic object, in other words, the relationship which links the beautiful thing with its perception. Thus, Max set it out by defining it with the voluntary relationship in which he expresses the perception of ideas that are created and chosen by the individual

Published: May 2021

Tripoli is a city of a Mediterranean Sea climate; this has contributed with some social and religious factors to affect the architectural and urban design, which all originally has come from the Islamic content. This study argues the climatic features of Tripoli in order to show the ways followed by the Libyan Muslim architect. In other words, these ways were used to adapt with the climate and create the demanding architectural treatments, which have served the building units. This is considered as a study case that can discuss the possibility of the climatic reflection on the walls. That is to say, the walls’ thickness, the type of the used substance in building, the substance’s properties, the type of roof used in covering the building units and the architectural design of the building as treatments achieved professionally by the architect in decreasing the heat in summer and increasing the heat in winter through the mass block. Additionally, the researchers have stated that Tripoli’s building design respected the privacy of the inhabitants and their isolation from the world outside their buildings. That is because they wanted to have their own cold spaces inside which were rich of light, air and shadow. As a result of the aforementioned considerations, the architectural buildings contained the uncovered space and the broken entrance to keep the privacy from the passengers and to protect the inhabitants from wind and sand. These were regarded as final solutions for the architectural and climatic problem. Further, this study illustrates the active role of using the planning including the architectural formations and the treatments of motion path. That is according to their width, their length, their form, their guidance and their direction change in order to make shadow and isolate the front of buildings. This also contributed to give the streets the northern wind which in turn helped to keep the air moving as long as possible to tone down the climatic influences. Moreover, the planning aimed to show its turn through analytical, architectural and documentary survey for realistic examples in the archeological registrar of the potential city treatments. These architectural elements were important in making the sustainable architecture in respect to the environment and human relaxation requirements. Finally, the researchers measured the following factors temperatures, wind, rain, and ratio humidity for variety of spaces in the city. That was followed by qualitative and quantitative statistical analysis supported by graphs

Published: May 2021

Despite the fact that it has been over seven decades since the passing of the famous Turkish writer Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil (1865-1945), his fame has continued till now due to the writer's unique and remarkable literary works in poetry as well as in novel, storytelling as he was familiar with European literature, particularly French, cultural and intellectual movements. Halid Ziya is considered one of the first writers who adopts European style in his writings and his novel The Forbidden Love 1900 (Aşk-ı Memnu in the original) often considered his masterpiece. It is the first and greatest novel in the history of Turkish literature through which the writer shows his good linguistic knowledge proficiently concerning the configuration and vocabularies of Turkish language and its accurate details. The Forbidden Love has been numerously studied and filmed as a TV-series. And originally written and first published in Turkish. In brief, words in Turkish are formed through a system of affixes attached to word stems. The writer frequently uses assertive adjectives in his novel in order to give a meaningful sense of the word. The aim of this paper is to study the assertive adjectives in The Forbidden Love by Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil
PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND ACCESS TO NATURAL RESOURCES, ESPECIALLY WATER
Authors: Ibrahim Hachim NKHELA Suheir
Published: May 2021

Environmental hazards are not considered a national problem that stops at the state’s borders only, but has become a regional and global issue that poses a direct threat to human survival all over the world as a whole. It requires the global community to provide environmental human rights and all the ingredients for sustainable development, especially clean air, clean fresh water, healthy food, and preserving natural resources for future generations. The water problem topped the list of environmental threats, as most countries of the world suffer from a severe shortage of water levels, diminishing the share of each person in the limited quantities of water, and today the world's countries and governments fear unending regional wars due to water, and the conflict over its sources, and the sources of rivers. Therefore, the issue of water has taken on a global character, and the complete conviction that water is the first problem that will face our future generations. he water war between the riparian states is a real war, and it will continue and happen inevitably. In the World Water Forum held in Istanbul in 2009, which showed that 260 water basins are shared by two or more countries, around which 40% of the world's population live, and there are hundreds of shared groundwater basins, for example there are fourteen countries that share a river The European Danube, eleven countries share each of the Nile and Niger rivers, nine countries share the Amazon River, and four countries share the Tigris and Euphrates, and the same is the Jordan River. Differences arose between the participating countries over the sources and the distribution of water between them for a long time, and sometimes reached the stage of acute conflicts and crises, and their intensity increased day after day. Dozens of international treaties have not resolved these differences, as disputes have not stopped after the conclusion of approximately 145 international treaties, and the reason for this is the absence of cooperation between these countries, the scarcity of rainwater, and the thinking of each country in isolation from the interests and peoples of other countries with which they share river water.

FROM QUALITY MANAGEMENT TO MANAGING QUALITY: SYSTEMIC APPROACH
Authors: Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: May 2021

The recently discussed issues of education quality are devoted full attention. The systems of quality control are developed, services are certified etc. All EU countries point to education quality as one of the most important political priorities. Despite the fact it is an excellent idea, the questions of how to ensure adequate education and how to achieve equally ranked education certification in all countries of the European Union arise. We can note that different legal and political documents approved by Lithuanian authorities in one way or another emphasize that ensuring quality education is a priority field. What is quality? This question is not so simple. We can agree with general definition that quality generally refers to a certain degree (level) of excellence. It is obvious that there are at least two main perspectives of defining quality, one from the customer of education services and the other one from the producer (education institution).
It is obvious, that the quality aspiration is important not only for the companies which produce products or offer service, but also for education institutions of all levels. The central point is the understanding that quality cannot be bought in the market and is not something beyond institution boundaries. Everything will be determined by awareness that quality in a broad sense is conditioned by the quality of management (administration). Only professional management leads to qualified processes (institution work) whereas the latter ensure high-quality service. Another main point is that education and research belongs together. It is as axiomatic truth. Without high-level research a quality management system seems to be a useless thing.
As the understanding of quality may vary, a general agreement on the issue discussing quality is very important at least inside the institution. Quality is differently treated by academic staff, teachers, students, employers, social partners of institution, authorities and society in general. Education is a complex system having different levels, sub-systems etc. that closely correlate and determine one another. Finally, we can notice that the best organizations have a systemic and comprehensive focus on quality.
Key words: quality of education, managing quality, systemic approach.
THE GEOMETRY OF SPACE-TIME: METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT
Authors: Tolkachev Evgeniy A. , Kostenich Yuriy V.
Published: May 2021

One of the problems of present physics teaching at the initial stage is creation in pupils minds some artificial barriers and the stereotypes complicating the subsequent studying of modern concepts. The main idea of the approach developed - all the themes and topics of general physics course should be focused on modern physical knowledge. Major instructional techniques are illustrated by the formation of modern space-time representation in the study of kinematics. Emphasis is placed on the geometric interpretation of the Galilean transformations. Together with three rotations, which determined by Euler angles, and three spatial shifts and a shift in time, they define the four-dimensional non-Euclidean geometry of space-time mechanics of Galileo, Newton. We discuss the relative status of the length of the trajectory and the inability to determine the length of the moving body diagram (world line) in four-dimensional space-time of Galileo, Newton. On the simple examples are demonstrated the need for experimental verification of the "obvious" assumptions about the immutability of the readings of moving and fixed hours and rulers. It is emphasized that the hypothesis of the existence of absolute rigid bodies, Newton's third law and the law of velocities addition in Newtonian mechanics lead to physically paradoxical conclusion about the existence of infinite velocity of material bodies motion. The history and physical preconditions create special relativity by Lo-rentz, Poincaré and Einstein are described. We discuss the geometric interpretation of the observed depend-ence of the atomic clock rate on the change of the gravitational potential.
The idea that conceptions of the physical space-time have an world outlook and cultural value run through the whole text. The material presented in the form of an essay with the necessary historical refer-ences and analogies that promote understanding of the issues involved a wide range of readers, including the humanities.
Key words: physics teaching, modern concepts, new approaches in teaching.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AT HIGHER NON-UNIVERSITY INSTITUTIONS: REVEALING THE EDUCATORS‘ ATTITUDES
Authors: Papečkienė Danė
Published: May 2021

Lithuania having joined the European Union and seeking the education acquired in Lithuania to be internationally recognized, the necessity emerged to match the education standards with the systems of vocational training in European countries.
The project plan (2002-2006) of the development of higher education in Lithuania states that the quality assurance is a top priority. The emphasis is laid on the fact that the quality assurance of higher education should not lack behind the one in the developed European countries.
The quality assurance of higher education has been under discussion in the few recent years. How should be the studies organized in order to train students to be able to compete in the labor market of the dynamically developing European countries?
To determine the dimensions and standards of the education quality that are common to Lithuanian universities and colleges it is essential to regard the worldwide experience and to apply it in the context of our country.
The importance has been laid on the quality assurance at the European universities for the recent 10 years. The subsequent organizations were established in different countries all over the world. A number of the agencies dealing with the quality assurance of higher education started the network partnership.
The established Centre for Quality Assessment in higher education plays a major role for implementing the external quality assurance policy in universities and colleges of Lithuania by contributing to the development of human resources.
The object of this research is to reveal the educators’ attitudes at Marijampolė and Utena colleges towards the establishment of the quality assurance system at college.
The research was done in November, 2004 at Marijampole and Utena colleges. There were 120 educator respondents at Marijampole College and 50 respondents at Utena College.
146 of them were lecturers and 24 were the administrative staff.
The research done, the conclusions were made that the communities comprising the lecturers as well as the administrative staff of the colleges are concerned about the quality assurance of higher education and studies. The quality of higher non-university studies is being continuously assessed. Moreover, the system of quality assurance is being continuously developed. The educators both at Marijampole and Utena Colleges positively assess their input into the successive performance of the institutions taking an active part in making decisions related to the improvement of the inner system of quality assurance at the institutions.

The success of school activities de-pends on the competence of teachers as they are responsible for the quality of students’ qualification. Due to the absence of any structure of activities, a teacher plays different roles including the development of indi-vidual curricula and improvement of school activities. They also work as advisers on the learning process and professional career, the evaluators of internal audit, launch projects, participate in international events etc.
The project concentrates and involves school community, helps teachers with increasing their quali-fications and implementing ideas in practice. On the other hand, projects assists in providing possibilities of receiving additional financial support and dealing with complex educational problems. An important point is that projects actively involve teachers.
Key words: project management, school activities, school community, upper-secondary school.

Restaurant chatbot is an automated system for carrying out day to day works in a restaurant such as ordering, reservations, FAQs at reception, and many more tasks which are not that much important but take much time of receptionist while working. Chatbot is a system backed by an Artificial Intelligence technology to learn, adapt and work according to surrounding environment. In this particular system, development of a chatbot is done with the help of API provided by IBM named as WATSON to create, train, and deploy AI and ML models for various purposes to cut down the too much efforts done while developing an AI/ML model. System helps out staff at restaurant to carry out above stated tasks with less to no efforts. Then, staff can give attention to other important tasks related to their routine. Many restaurants and similar organizations offer services like webpages for reservations, helplines with the help of call centers. But these systems are not much efficient and doesn’t answer much of the questions of customer. Chat bots form a solid surface for this situation, answers much of the questions of customers, carry out some operations available online like collecting online payments, reserving rooms, answering different questions like address of an organization, facilities provided by them, vacant rooms available or not and many more. For the development of a restaurant chatbot as a last year university project on experimental basis, adding large facilities is avoided. Data sets for training chatbot model is collected from a leading website KAGGLE, which provides various data sets for models. A chatbot is a conversation agent where a computer program is made to simulate an intelligent conversation. It can use user inputs in several formats such as text, voice. For such different open-source platforms can be found. A Chatbot plays an important role in human-machine interaction. A Chatbot has three modules: the user interface, an interpreter, and a knowledge base. It is a program that tries to simulate the typed text in such a manner that human feels like it's talking to another human, not a machine. There are many chatbots that are on the internet for different purposelike education, customer service, entertainment.
RFID Based Authentication for Non-contacting Attendance Management during Covid19 Pandemic using Raspberry Pi

Authentication based attendance is very crucial in this COVID Pandemic situation for employers. Finger print based authentication for attendance system is not preferable because it is based on touching or contacting the finger print sensor. Multiple persons use the same sensor for incoming and outgoing authentication which becomes carrier for spreading the corona virus as another person would be in direct contact of the fingerprint sensor. To avoid this situation RFID based authentication system is proposed and initial stages of it are implemented in this paper. Each employee has given an RFID tag with numbers and names assigned to it. Raspberry Pi module is used which is interfaced with other modules like RFID card reader, LCD interface and GSM module. The contact details authenticated by the system can be saved in data file for further analysis of employees’ attendance. This small innovative step can enhance the efforts made to prevent every user from COVID19.
Lung Cancer Prediction using Machine Learning

Prevention is always a better option than cure, especially when it comes to deadly disease like cancer. According to the latest reports by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lung cancer is the second leading cause of death. Along with the family history, main causes for lung cancer are Genetic Factors, Smoking and the unhealthy lifestyle in the world. In a developing country like India, cancer treatments are very costly and hard to access to all the sections of the society. In a country where 220 million Indians sustained with an expenditure level of Rs 32/day, affording cancer treatments is impossible. Therefore, predicting the disease acts as the saviour to the millions of people in the country. For this purpose, we have identified the specific genes responsible for causing lung cancer in the Human race. Selecting a small number of genes can lead to a better accuracy. In this paper , we have used Kruskal-Wallis test. This helped us to select the genes expression data. Finally, we have identified12 influential genes responsible for causing lung cancer. The accuracy of the model is 84.375% using the Random Forest algorithm. All the files and codes used in the work is available at https://github.com/Farazkhan0516/Lung-Cancer-Prediction-using-Machine-Learning.git.

Published: May 2021

GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) have recently gained a lot of attention in the research community. GANs are based on the zero-sum game theory, in which two neural networks compete for the resources. The results of deep model is capable of producing data that is close to any given data distribution. It employs an adversarial learning method and is much more efficient than conventional machine learning models as learning features. In this paper, firstly discusses the introductory detail about GAN followed by the brief literature survey of work done with GAN models and then followed by its different approaches and discusses how they differ. The analysis then goes on to list of the various applications such as computer vision, image classification and processing of language etc. before coming to a conclusion. As well as, compare this GAN model with other generative models and also mentioned the limitation of GAN.

QR code widely used as an url to link to a website or data that contains the essential text to fetch. Its nearly a decade has been used in day today life on products. An idea about re-inventing the qr code in such a way that making files in transformation of base64 (code text)which then formatted to a pattern of qr code which enables qr code has the content of the file. Now when a person scans the QR(Quick Response) code without the interaction with the internet he gets the app or the file in his device. While in this if the scanner of the app has the predefined AR(Augmented reality) object which helps the today's world to make an advertisable mode for attracting customers. Like adding a predefined cube with rotating animation. Now the user just has to add text on what side has to be placed. so image code just has to contain the text on which side and what speed the cube to rotate. By this a new way already defined library holding in decoder or scanner app helps the user interaction and content delivery easily. In this adding color QR code which gives the possibility to explore more data into it .

Melatonin in headache disorders
Authors: Gonçalves Andre Leite , Ribeiro Reinaldo Teixeira , Peres Mario F. P.
Published: May 2021

Melatonin have diverse physiological functions, including the control of circadian rhythms, sleep regulation, enhancement of immunological functioning, free radical scavenging and antioxidant effects, inhibition of oncogenesis, mood regulation, vasoregulation, regulation of seasonal reproductive activity and analgesia. Melatonin also have several actions within the central nervous system and in the pathophysiology of headaches, which include an anti-inflammatory effect, toxic free radical scavenging, reduction of proinflammatory cytokine up-regulation, nitric oxide synthase activity and dopamine release inhibition, membrane stabilization, GABA and opioid analgesia potentiation, glutamate neurotoxicity protection, neurovascular regulation, serotonin modulation, and the similarity of chemical structure to that of indomethacin. A relation with seasonal and circadian pattern has been observed in cluster an hypnic headache. The literature of headache is convergent in pointing to low levels of melatonin in patients with migraine and cluster headache. Treatment of headache disorders with melatonin and other chronobiotic agents is promising. Some trials showed that melatonin was effective in cluster headache and migraine prevention but future studies are necessary for the better understanding of the role of melatonin in headache disorders treatment.
