Effect of Phytohormones on In-vitro Bud and Root Formation of the Water Hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes
Authors: Tran Thi Anh Thoa
Published: December 2022

Water hyacinth is an aquatic plant, of which proliferation rate is extremely rapid as a weed, causing great economic, social and environmental damage. On the other hand, the water hyacinth also has potential economic value, because it is used as food for livestock, gas, fertilizer, environmental treatment, art crafts, decoration items, as well as herbal medicine. This research investigated the effects of concentrations of BA (Benzyl adenine) and NAA (Naphthylacetic acid) on in-vitro bud and root formation of Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms to create in-vitro sample source which is initially used in subsequent researches of water hyacinth. After 4 weeks of in-vitro culture, the results showed that the two-layer MS (Murashige Skoog) medium – the lower solid agar medium and the upper liquid medium – accompanied by aerobic culture conditions supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA were suitable for bud proliferation. Next, these explants after destroying shoot apical meristem were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 0.75 mg/L BA suitable for bud development. The mature buds were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 0.25 mg/L NAA, suitable for rooting of water hyacinth and gave high survival rate (83.00%) when planted in the garden on hydroponic nutrient medium Howard of 600ppm.

Authors: Vijayalakshmi Vijayalakshmi
Published: December 2022

Recently, childhood caries have become one of the main health related diseases , especially developed by lactic acid bacteria, affecting millions of school going children worldwide. In the present work, we have isolated about 50 lactic acid bacteria samples from different tooth decay affected children from Fen Dental Clinic, Tirupur India. The emerging bacteria were confirmed by phenotype and genotype characterization. After, the pathogens were screened for the production of biofilm it was checked for the resistant mechanism of the Lactobacillus acidophilus. In this study the MTLA1-50 isolates produced strong biofilms which were confirmed for the Lactobacillus acidophilus carrying resistant capability. In particularly, the maximum strong biofilm producing strains were MTLA 32 and MTLA 50, followed by other isolates. As star fish extract has been reported to play a vital role in eliminating the bacterial biofilm for this motive in this study we have chosen the star fish, Asterias rubens extract in the concentration of 50, 100, 150 µl. The analysis was performed and executed using well diffusion standard techniques. The results showed that the strain No. MTLA 32 and MTLA 50 got the maximum zone of inhibition at 150 µl (52mm and 38 mm) of the star fish extract. The findings demonstrate that the star fish extract has a powerful anti-biotic ability to treat the dental pathogens particularly, caused by Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Quality Enhancement of Multifocus & Medical Images Using Hybrid Wavelets Based Fusion for Bioengineering Applications
Authors: Mohan Chinnem Rama
Published: December 2022

Multifocus image fusion employs fusion principles to integrate many focused images of the same scene. All-in-focus images are instructive and valuable for visual perception. Maintaining shift-invariant and directional selectivity in a fused image is crucial. Traditional wavelet-based fusion methods are hindered their performance due to a lack of invariant shift and reduced directionality. In this paper, a classical multifocus hybrid wavelet-based approach with principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed. At the first level of decomposition, stationary wavelet transformation (SWT) is used to perform the fusion process with the given source images. In the next level, approximation coefficients of source images are selected for decomposition as well as fusion using dual-tree complex wavelet transformation (DTCWT) and finally, PCA is applied to generate a final fused image. Analysis of the proposed method has been accomplished by evaluating various objective parameters.
On the Dominant Behavior of Zooplankton in Different types of Domestic Sewage Oxidation Ponds
Authors: Ali Sharique A
Published: December 2022

Plankton are small microscopic organisms, comprising diatoms and algae, which form the basis of primary production, whereas zooplankton are mainly crustaceans, rotifers and larval stages of larger animals which constitute the higher aquatic food web. Both are bio-indicators of a water body, constituting the main food for the carnivorous and omnivorous fishes in the aquatic ecosystem. In the present work, a detailed analysis of zooplankton diversity along with variations in species, and seasonal abundance with average and total population density was carried out in different types of domestic sewage oxidation ponds. Similar analysis for a comparison was done in a freshwater control pond situated in Bhopal India. In this study out of 8 ponds, 4 were selected for zooplankton analysis two being primary and two being secondary sewage oxidation ponds and one freshwater control pond was selected for comparative analysis. The results indicated that the number of zooplankton in all ponds ranged from 162 to 14776 org/L, seasonally it was observed that the sewage oxidation ponds had the maximum population of zooplankton in winter, followed by rainy and summer seasons. Regarding the population of zooplankton in the individual oxidation ponds, it was found that sewage secondary pond IIIB had the maximum zooplankton followed by IIIA. Interesting observations on the cascading effects of physicochemical parameters on plankton dynamics, including the variations in the diel population of various species of zooplankton have been recorded. The phenomenon of plankton grazing in different types of domestic sewage ponds is being reported for the first time.
Kadın Girişimciliğinin İşgücüne Katılımında Doğurganlık ve Ekonomik Büyüme Kapsamında İncelenmesi: Fourier Testlerinden Kanıtlar/An Analysis of Women's Entrepreneurship in Labor Force Participation in the Context of Fertility and Economic Growth: Evidence from Fourier Tests
Authors: KONAT Gökhan , KONCAK Ahmet
Published: January 2023

Toplumun yarısını oluşturan kadınların işgücüne katılımını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenebilmesi ekonomilerin büyüme ve kalkınmasında oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye için 1988-2020 yıllık verileriyle kadın işgücüne katılımını etkileyen faktörler incelenmiştir. Bunun için kadın işgücüne katılımını etkilediği düşünülen doğurganlık oranları ve kişi başına düşen GSYİH bağımsız değişkenler olarak modele dâhil edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişki Fourier eşbütünleşme testi ile araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada değişkenler arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin bulunduğu sonucuna ulaşılmış ve uzun dönem ilişki Dinamik En Küçük Kareler (DEKK) yöntemiyle tahmin edilmiştir. DOLS eşbütünleşme regresyon sonuçlarına göre uzun dönemde doğurganlık oranında ve ekonomik büyümede meydana gelen artışın kadının işgücüne katılımını artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır. Bu bakımdan incelenen dönemde Türkiye için kadın işgücüne katılımı ve doğurganlık arasındaki pozitif ilişkiyi destekleyen toplumsal tepki hipotezinin geçerli olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca gerçekleştirilen Fourier temelli nedensellik analizi neticesinde toplam doğurganlık oranı ve ekonomik büyüme arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik, toplam doğurganlık oranından kadın işgücüne katılıma doğru ve kadın işgücüne katılımdan ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu bulgusuna erişilmiştir. Doğurganlık oranlarının kadın işgücüne katılım oranını negatif etkilemesi rol uyumsuzluğu hipotezi ile açıklanırken; pozitif olarak etkilemesi tam karşıtı olan toplumsal tepki hipotezi ile açıklanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada Türkiye için toplumsal tepki hipotezinin geçerli olduğu sonucuna varılmaktadır.

Authors: Korneev Aleksey , Akhutina Tatyana , Matveeva Ekaterina
Published: December 2022

The aim of this project is an investigation of the state of cognitive functions in older preschool and primary-school-age children. At this age, there is a considerable development and maturation of various components of cognitive functions, and large individual variability of their condition is observed. In the article, we tried to divide a large sample of children with normative development into groups with different neuropsychological profiles according to the strengths and weaknesses of various components of cognitive functions.

A sample of 484 children between the ages of 6 and 9 years old underwent a Lurian face-to-face neuropsychological examination and the computerized neuropsychological assessment. In each of the tests, key parameters were identified to evaluate three groups of cognitive functions: executive functions, visual-spatial information processing, auditory information processing. Then a cluster analysis was carried out, which allowed us to identify five groups of subjects: children with a high level of cognitive functions; children with executive function weakness; children with low auditory information processing; children with low visual-spatial information processing; children with a low level of cognitive functions. With the help of other complex neuropsychological tests, we verified this division into groups. The data obtained confirm the idea of uneven development of cognitive functions in children aged 6–9 years with normative development. These results can be used in further research of theoretical issues of cognitive development, and for practical purposes in neuropsychologist correction.
Upper Paleolithic in the foothills of the Northern Tien Shan: chronology and cultural attribution
Authors: Ozherelyev Dmitriy , Lev Sergei
Published: December 2022

The study of the Upper Paleolithic in the foothills of the Northern Tien Shan has no long history. The first discoveries of archaeological sites of that period were carried out only in the early 21st century. Nevertheless, several sites of the Upper Paleolithic found here are being studied with varying degrees of intensity. The most studied of them are the Maibulak and Rakhat sites. Both sites are multi-layered. The sequences of cultural deposits mutually complement each other. The cultural layers of the sites lie in multi-meter deposits of loess-like loams. The specificity of sedimentation significantly influenced the high degree of preservation of cultural remains. At different levels such features as: charcoal spots, burn spots, hearths, storage pits were found. This fact, with a high degree of probability, indicates the undisturbed pattern of the archaeological complexes in each of the cultural layers. The remains of settlements of the Early Upper Paleolithic (~40,000-28,000 years ago) are most clearly represented on the Maibulak site. The Rakhat site was actively populated in the Middle Upper Paleolithic and at the beginning of the Late Upper Paleolithic (~28,000-19,000 years ago). Based on the archaeological data, it can be concluded that the development of the Upper Paleolithic in the region as a cultural unit lies in the same stream of evolutionary direction with the western part of Eurasia. The significant originality is noted in the lithic assemblages of different stages of the Upper Paleolithic. Thus, the study of the Upper Paleolithic in this territory, located between the large cultural areas of Europe, Western Asia, on the one hand, and Siberia, East Asia, on the other, is of great scientific importance.
Mikhail Menshikov and Yakov Polonsky: the history of relations
Authors: Krizhanovskiy Nikolay
Published: December 2022

Due to the close attention of many researchers to the crisis period, a turning point for the Russian society of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, at the present stage of the humanities, it has become necessary to study in detail the biography and comprehend the creative heritage of the outstanding Russian journalist and critic M.O. Menshikov (1850–1918). The author provides previously unknown insights into the life and work of the popular publicist – the relationship with Ya.P. Polonsky. Based on the extensive material of Menshikov`s articles and diary, as well as his correspondence with Ya.P. Polonsky and the works of the poet, the point that Polonsky, in 1891–1898, contributed to Menshikov's gradual shift to conservative ideas, is conceptually substantiated. The Russian poet, with his letters, remarks during communication, advice, reaction to the texts of the publicist influenced his worldview and spiritual growth, contributed to the formation of conservative ideals in his work. Menshikov defended the European liberal ideals in the rather controversial article “Two Truths” (1893) written about Polonsky’s poem “Dogs”, but in his obituary dedicated to the poet (1898) he appeared as the heir to the conservative Russian tradition.

Published: December 2022

Reforming education, the transition from the traditional educational model («educational tube») to «individual educational trajectories» (IET) is perceived by the participants of the educational process quite tensely. The need to adapt to a new educational model amidst COVID-19 pandemic is an aggravating factor for the educational process and mental wellbeing of students. The specific nature of the IET model is that students are in a constant self-determined, active position regarding their educational path. It is necessary to assess the psychological risks of educational innovations for students. The purpose of the study: to compare the parameters of resource self-determination of students in the IET and the traditional educational model during the pandemic. Sample: 1687 university students from Tyumen region studying according to the traditional model (1325) and according to the IET model (362). Data collection methods: self-organization questionnaire (Time Structure Questionnaire, M.J. Bond, N.T. Feather) adapted by E.Yu. Mandrikova; the scale of basic beliefs (World assumptions scale, R. Janoff-Bulman) adapted by M.A. Paduna, A.V. Kotelnikova; The Ways of Coping Questionnaire, R.S. Folkman, S. Lazarus, adapted by T.L. Kryukova, E.V. Kuftyak, M.S. Zamyshlyaeva; scales of psychological well-being (The scales of psychological well-being C.D. Ryff) adapted by T.D. Shevelenkova, P.P. Fesenko; questionnaire «Losses and acquisitions of personal resources» N.E. Vodopyanova, M. Stein. Mathematical and statistical methods: pairwise comparison of samples was carried out using the ANOVA method (Post Hoc comparison Scheffe Test). Students’ resource self-determination in different educational models differs according to the groups of used resources. Students in a traditional educational model use planning resources more often. Students studying in a IET model are more active users of self-support/self-promotion, resources of achievements and correction of actions.

Conversion of Mechanical Energy to Electricity Using Piezoelectric Crystals
Authors: Biyani Akash , Mithari Ashutosh
Published: December 2022

Abstract: To achieve electrical energy from mechanical energy, we have constructed a model where, when someone applies force on the model, it creates pressure on the piezoelectric sensors, which are present between two tiles. These sensors convert mechanical energy (force) into electrical energy. The single piezoelectric sensor will produce a few watts of energy. We have a series and parallel connection to generate more power to get the required output voltage and current. The produced energy is in the form of ac which is rectified by the rectifier circuit, and then the fixed voltage is regulated to get the constant dc. Then this dc voltage can be used to light the streetlights and traffic signals.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Retinal lesions that impair vision are a typical symptom of diabetic retinopathy, result of diabetes mellitus. Blindness may develop if it is not detected in time. Tragically, there is no known cure for DR, and therapy only works to stop vision loss. DR diagnosis and treatment can significantly lower risk of eyesight loss. Contrary to computer-aided methods, physical examination in case of DR visual image acquisition through optometrists is time-, effort-, and premium and prone to error. Deep learning recently emerged as popular techniques in boosting expertise in number of fields, including that of the analysis and categorization of medical picture data.. Convolutional neural networks are an extremely effective depths classification algorithm that is increasingly being employed in the medical imaging analysis. In order to complete this study, the most recent national methods for classifying and recognizing DR retinal fundus pictures using deep learning methodologies were examined. Additionally, the retinal fundus retina statistics that are accessible on DR were assessed. Also presented are a number of challenging issues that demand additional researches

Abstract: A diabetes condition called diabetic retinopathy damages the vasculature channels, affecting the eyes. It may be asymptomatic at first or it may cause fluctuating vision problems. As the illness progresses, both eyes are affected, culminating in a partial or entire loss of eyesight. Usually, it happens when blood sugars are out of control. An individual suffering from diabetes mellitus is therefore constantly at danger of contracting the illness. Early detection might prevent the possibility of complete and lasting disability can be averted. As a result, a reliable screening procedure is necessary. The current research investigates Specifically, a Multilayer Perceptron Pertained Network from machine learning (ML) (DenseNet-169), that can be utilized to diagnose diabetic retinopathy early. It categorizes fundus photographs into four groups: Angiogenesis DR, weak, mild, with intense DR. Both the 2015 Diabetic Retinopathy Prediction and the 2019 Aptos Impairment Recognition have been obtained from Kaggle and applied to this study. The steps of the suggested technique include record keeping, preparation, enhance, and simulation. 90 percent precision was attained by our suggested model. Additionally, the statistical method was used, and its efficacy was 78%. This research's main purpose is to develop a reliable approach for identifying different DR.

Published: December 2022

In Indonesia, agricultural zakat collection is very low in comparison to its potential, while the majority of the population works in agricultural sector. Thus, it is crucial to conduct research on this matter. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence muzakki to pay agricultural zakat through institutions in Indramayu, West Java. Using Roscoe’s model, 70 farmers who had reached the nishab were determined as sample. The data were analyzed using a logistic regression analysis approach. The findings show that four variables have a significant impact on decision of the farmers to pay agricultural zakat through institution, namely religiosity, zakat comprehension, awards or appreciation, and service quality. Institutions should be innovative in order to maximize agricultural zakat collection, such as providing zakat pick-up service and a zakat activity report for muzakki on a regular basis. Furthermore, in order to convey the significance and benefits of paying zakat through institutions, institutions must strengthen their collaboration with local authorities and religious leaders.======================================================================================================== ABSTRAK – Determinan yang Mempengaruhi Muzakki Membayar Zakat melalui Lembaga Amil di Jawa Barat. Walaupun berstatus sebagai negara agraris, pengumpulan zakat pertanian di Indonesia sangat kecil dibandingkan dengan potensinya. Oleh karena itu, kajian tentang masalah ini sangat penting untuk dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi muzakki membayar zakat pertanian melalui lembaga amil. Dengan menggunakan model pengambilan sampel Roscoe, sebanyak 70 petani yang telah mencapai nishab dipilih sebagai responden. Data penelitian diolah dengan pendekatan logistic regression analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada empat variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan dalam keputusan petani dalam membayar zakat pertanian melalui lembaga amil, yaitu religiositas, pemahaman zakat, penghargaan atau apresiasi, dan kualitas pelayanan. Dalam rangka optimalisasi penghimpunan zakat pertanian, lembaga-lembaga penghimpun zakat melakukan inovasi pelayanan seperti penyediaan layanan jemput zakat dan pelaporan penggunaan zakat secara berkala. Selain itu, juga perlu dilakukan kerjasama dengan tokoh-tokoh agama dan pemerintah setempat dalam memberikan pemahaman dan kesadaran tentang manfaat dan pentingnya berzakat melalui lembaga amil.

Intellectual Capital Dimensions and Profitability of Sharia Banking in OIC Countries
Authors: Falikhatun Falikhatun , Mudrikah Siti
Published: December 2022

Sharia banks typically have two primary objectives: commercial and social. To fulfill their commercial mission, sharia banks must generate profits as it is one of the most important metrics used to evaluate long-term competitiveness and ensure their operational sustainability. This paper intends to delve deeper into the impact of intellectual capital dimensions on the profitability ratio of Sharia banking. Using panel data from 34 companies from 2015 to 2019, this study distinguished between fixed and random effects using the Hausman test. The Return on Assets (RoA) is then utilized as a proxy for the profitability ratio. Utilizing samples of sharia banking institutions from OIC countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, we found a positive relationship between intellectual capital dimensions and the profitability ratio. Human capital and structural capital have a partial impact on profitability, while relational capital has no influence on the profitability of sharia banks in OIC-member countries.======================================================================================================== ABSTRAK – Dimensi Modal Intelektual dan Profitabilitas Bank Syariah di Negara-negara OKI. Bank syariah umumnya memiliki dua tujuan utama, yaitu komersial dan sosial. Untuk menjalankan misi komersialnya, bank syariah perlu menghasilkan laba yang merupakan salah satu indikator kunci yang digunakan untuk menilai daya saing jangka panjang dan memastikan keberlanjutan operasionalnya. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menggali lebih dalam pengaruh dimensi modal intelektual terhadap rasio profitabilitas bank syariah. Dengan menggunakan data panel dari 34 perusahaan mulai tahun 2015 hingga 2019, penelitian ini menggunakan uji Hausman untuk membedakan efek tetap dan efek acak. Return on Asset (RoA) digunakan sebagai proksi untuk rasio profitabilitas. Adapun sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah bank syariah dari negara-negara anggota OKI seperti Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, dan Pakistan. Temuan kami mengungkapkan bahwa secara statistik terdapat pengaruh positif signifikan antara dimensi modal intelektual dengan rasio profitabilitas. Dikaji secara parsial, hanya modal manusia dan modal struktural yang berpengaruh, sedangkan modal relasional tidak berpengaruh terhadap profitabilitas bank syariah di negara-negara anggota OKI tersebut.
