Authors: Ratna Md. Najmus Sadat , Islam Md. Monirul , Jahan Md. Sarwar , Haque Md. Masudul
Published: September 2022

Six jute cultivars viz. CVL-1, CC-45, CVE-3, D-154, BINA-1, and BINA-2 were tested under sixsalt concentrations, viz. S0 = deionized water (control), S1 = 4 dS m-1, S2 = 8 dS m-1, S3 = 12 dS m-1, S4 = 16 dS m-1 and S5 = 20 dS m-1 . Different parameters of germination and seedling growth were found variable with the varieties and also with the various concentrations to sodium chloride salts. Overall better performance of germination as well as seedling growth parameters was found with the variety D-154 followed by CC-45 although percentage of germination and seedling growth decreased with the increase in salinity level in almost all the cases.
ANDROCENTRIC GENDER ROLE ORIENTATION OF MOTHERS AND ITS IMPACT ON FAMILY LIFE IN AN URBAN AREA OF BANGLADESH
Authors: Shohel Tunvir Ahamed , Jabbar Md. Abdul
Published: September 2022

The study mainly focused on the gender role orientation of mother in their early life and its impact on their family life. For this purpose, data were collected from 150 mothers of three distinct educational groups (Group1: Class I-V; Group 2: VI- SSC passed; Group 3: HSC passed and above), living in Khulna City Corporation of Bangladesh. Findings reveal that respondents’ father had more significant role in household decisions (mean of Group-1; 19.60, Group-2; 19.48, and Group-3; 20) compared to respondents’ mothers (mean of Group-1; 11.76, Group-2; 14.86, and Group-3; 15.72). Similar situation was observed between the respondents and their husbands in their family sphere. Consequently, low freedom was given to respondents’ daughters to move outside or mobilize in social sphere compared to sons. Most of the mothers (Group-1; 84%, Group-2; 94%, and Group-3; 88%) expected their daughters to perform household chores after their marriage and they do the same (Group-1; 86%, Group-2; 94% and Group-3; 84%) from their daughter-in-laws. Findings also indicate that gender stereotypic socialization of mothers influenced their family life. Statistically significant correlation (p<.000) was found between the family decision making power of the respondents’ mothers/fathers and the respondents/respondents’ husbands. Likewise, it was explicit that with the educational variations of mothers, differences of response were found where the utmost educational group practiced somewhat better gender role anticipation compared to others.

Authors: Khatun Monowara , Amin Md. Sadiqul , Rahman S.M. Hafizur
Published: September 2022

A pot experiment was conducted on Satla soil series in Terokhada Upazilla, Khulna during the boro season (February to June) to see whether Azolla (biofertilizer) could be grown together with BRRI dhan 28 and to compare the effect of the recommended dose of N (100 kg N ha-1) with that of different combinations of urea and Azolla (all treatments having the recommended doses of P, K, S and Zn). The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replications.  Azolla pinnata applied 0.2 kg m-2 grew well with BRRI dhan 28. The highest amount of grain yield of 2.35 t ha-1 was produced by the application of 75 Kg N ha-1 with Azolla. One layer of Azolla with 50 kg ha-1 urea-N produced almost same amounts of grain. Thus the rate of 0.2Kg m-2 Azolla inoculums as N source along with 50-75% Urea-N ha-1 appeared to be a good practice in reducing the use of costly urea (chemical N source) fertilizer by about 25-50%.

The Burden of Moderate and Serious Mental Health Distress Among Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Asian Adults in California
Authors: Chwa Cindy
Published: September 2022

Background Despite significant burden of mental health among Asians in the US, a focus on “culture” driving such disparities obscures the role of structural influences in development of these burdens, shifting the blame onto communities themselves. It also makes it more challenging to identify appropriate interventions, due to stigmatization. Furthermore, public health research and discourse on these issues often overlooks potential differences in distress and needs for interventions among immigrant versus non-immigrant Asians in the US. Purpose To examine how levels of moderate and serious mental health distress in the past year vary among Asian immigrant versus non-immigrant subgroups. Methods We used data from the 2011-2018 California Health Interview Survey (N=15,138) to assess prevalence of moderate and serious distress for immigrants compared to non-immigrants using both a single Asian category and five disaggregated categories: Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Results U.S. Asian immigrants were more likely to experience moderate (33%) and serious (9%) levels of distress compared to non-immigrants (26% and 5%, respectively). Filipino and Vietnamese immigrants experienced more moderate distress than their counterparts, and Filipino immigrants also experienced more serious distress than their counterparts. Discussion These findings highlight the clear association between immigration status and mental health in California. Differences in distress and subgroup-specific needs for U.S. immigrants and non-immigrants appear relevant for developing specific interventions (i.e. culturally sensitive scales and other measurement tools) and public health policies to improve ease of access to proper mental health care for various Asian immigrant populations.
Philadelphia Fetal and Infant Mortality Review/HIV Summary Report 2010-2021
Authors: Mitchell Christina
Published: September 2022

Most new HIV diagnoses are attributed to heterosexual contact in young, Black women. The risk of perinatal transmission, either through vertical transmission or breastfeeding, is about 25% with no intervention. However, regular antiretroviral therapy (ART) can lower this risk to less than 1%. The FIMR/HIV Prevention Methodology was adapted from the Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) to improve services and resources for women living with HIV and their HIV-exposed infants. Through information gathering, case reviews, and community action team meetings, FIMR/HIV is effective in addressing systemic barriers that contribute to HIV incidence. Since 2010, a Philadelphia-based Case Review Team (CRT) of interdisciplinary professionals has reviewed more than 200 cases eligible for review. Twice a year, a Community Action Team (CAT) comprised of organizational professionals meets to identify noted healthcare gaps and suggest recommendations and action steps for barrier-focused subcommittees moving forward. As a result, referrals to and engagement in intensive perinatal case management, prenatal care, and HIV care have increased, and the number of women lost to follow-up postpartum has decreased. In every case reviewed in 2020, at least some prenatal care was received, a milestone in the decade-long history of FIMR/HIV. Next steps for Philadelphia’s FIMR/HIV include adding cross-committee activities and subcommittees related to current issues, as well as potentially adding a third CAT meeting and expanding membership to be inclusive of area hospitals with maternity services.
Foreign Investment, Infrastructure, and Public-Private Partnership in ASIA
Authors:   European School of Economics, Italy, Garcia Maria
Published: September 2022

This study investigates private public partnerships (PPP) in Asia by panel analysis. We use data from the World Bank. We use the Panel Ordinary Least Squares (POLS) method. We found that foreign direct investment is more directed at developing real sector businesses rather than infrastructure development using the PPP system in ASIA countries. The lack of infrastructure in developing and low-income nations encourages the existence of public private partnerships to provide infrastructure in ASIA.
Islamic Vs Conventional Economics, The Impact of Interest Rates on the Indonesian Economy
Authors:   Universite de Sfax, Tunisia, Issawi Yara
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the impact of interest rates and the economy in Indonesia as a country with a Muslim population in the world but does not prohibit interest rates in the positive laws of the Republic of Indonesia. The research period for this study is from 1990 to 2020, and we use secondary data that we collect from World Bank data. We use an autoregressive vector model. We found that The lower the interest rate, the more it encourages economic growth and vice versa. Interest rates put pressure on the real sector because interest rates are the cost of capital that weighs on the economy. Low interest rates bring improvement and better economic growth. This proves that interest rates which in Islamic economics are still forbidden have a bad impact on the Indonesian economy.

Authors:   University of Jember,Indonesia, Viphindrartin Sebastiana , Bawono Suryaning ,   STIE Jaya Negara Tamansiswa Malang,Indonesia
Published: September 2022

This study investigated PPP in 129 low-income and developing countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, And South America during the period between 1990 to 2020 with panel analysis. In this study, we used statistics and regression coefficients using the Panel Ordinary Least Squares (POLS) method, We used Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) regression to triangulate the POLS. We found that governments of low-income and developing countries need increased savings in GDP. The finding of a positive relationship between the share of total investment and the number of PPP projects indicates a lack of infrastructure in low-income and developing countries. The need for additional capital in developing countries encourages low-income and developing countries to encourage PPPs.
Harnessing High Power Factors with Enhanced Stability in Heavy Metal-Free Solution-Processed Thermoelectric Copper Sulfoselenide Thin Films
Authors: Sahu Ayaskanta
Published: September 2022

Thermoelectric devices have the potential to recover waste heat from inefficient energy conversion processes. State-of-the-art thermoelectrics demonstrate low efficiency and incorporate materials containing rare and toxic elements. In this regard, p-type copper selenide (Cu 2 Se) has been identified as a promising and environmentally benign alternative. Unfortunately, the high diffusivity of liquid-like copper ions results in structural instability and performance degradation during operation, especially at moderate to high temperatures above 200 °C. Sulfur substitution has been utilized in melt-annealed samples to improve the stability of Cu 2 Se during operation, however this fabrication process is energy intensive and does not allow for use of flexible substrates. In this work, we report a solution-based direct thin film route to tune carrier concentration in copper sulfoselenide (Cu 2-y S x Se 1-x ) thin films by controlling sulfur content and degree of copper saturation. We observe that improved thermoelectric performance through copper saturation in nominally copper-deficient Cu 2-y Se films comes at a huge cost, with significantly reduced material stability due to enhanced copper migration resulting in severe degradation of the thermopower. Circumventing copper saturation, we show that controlled sulfur addition and tuning of annealing temperature has a synergistic effect, resulting in improved stability of the thermoelectric properties during continuous operation for mildly copper-deficient films while sustaining a high power factor of 800 μW/mK 2 at room temperature. Our results demonstrate a pathway for generating high performance solution processed thermoelectric devices with flexible form factors, and reinforce the case for Cu 2-y S x Se 1-x thin films as a heavy metal free alternative for scavenging low grade waste heat.

Published: September 2022

Molecular docking process was performed to investigate the interactions between the synthesized compounds and human epidermal growth factor protein kinase domain EGFR (PDB ID:1M17) and cyclin-dependent kinase-2 CDK2 (PDB ID:3IG7) proteins. HOMO LUMO orbital energy analysis, quantum chemical calculations were made and the bioactivity parameters of the compounds were evaluated. NiII and CuII complexes of the L1H2 L2H2 and L3H2, ligands showed higher binding affinity to EGFR and CDK2. Especially, [Cu(L1H)2] and [Cu(L2H)2] complexes can be suggested as hit compounds against CDK2 and EGFR, respectively. These were supported by the inhibition constant values which were the lowest when compared to others. L1H2 L2H2 and L3H2, ligands had the lowest binding energy values when compared to metal complexes. Also, [Cu(L2H)2] complex had a high binding energy value against EGFR. [Ni(L2H)2] and [Cu(L2H)2] complexes with EGFR had the highest LE and FQ values and these were found to be in the recommended range. Furthermore, [Cu(L3H)2] had an acceptable FQ value however its LE value was out of range. Besides, [Cu(L2H)2] had a potent and sufficient electrophile ability (acceptor) among other compounds. In conclusion, these compounds may be suitable compounds for further analysis in anti-cancer drug development with low toxic and targeted properties.

Technological Encroachment and Social Changes in Late Nineteenth-Century American Writing
Authors:   University of Sarajevo, Kondali Ksenija , Oković Adna ,   University of Sarajevo
Published: September 2022

This article explores instances of American literary production that illustrate the massive changes caused by unbridled industrial development and its social ramifications in the late nineteenth century. Expounding first on the differences between modernity and Modernism, it focuses on several narratives, both fictional and non-fictional, that present the circumstances of transition from Victorianism to a new era characterized by industrial innovations, heightened mechanization, social implications, and cultural reflections. The article discusses texts by late nineteenth-century American writers and tries to demonstrate how they revise earlier concepts of nature and sense of purpose and belonging under the impact of forceful modernization and industrialization. While the industrial revolution and the emergent capitalist system inflicted irreparable damage on nature, they also affected social and moral norms and practices. Most strikingly, the explosive urbanization and changed economic order in the United States led to alarming social differences and transformed visions of nature and the self, calling for new ways of representation in literature at the end of the nineteenth century.
The Sage of Concord: Weaving Transcendental Thoughts
Authors:   University of Montenegro, Simović Saša
Published: September 2022

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the proverbial sage of Concord, claimed that he was not “an original thinker” but only “clothed thoughts” that were “in the air.” Trying to explain the complex relation between humans and the outside world, he singled out man’s relation to his own self as the crux of the problem. His dualistic vision of the world, juxtaposing nature and the human soul and matter and spirit, is related to what he perceived as the human need to realize a connection to the “real” self. In the Emersonian vision of the world, nature is “omnipotent” insofar as through natural phenomena the human individual can give birth to brilliant ideas. The aim of this article is to highlight Emerson’s Transcendentalist vision of nature and the human relation to it.
Trauma and the Irish Experience: The Example of M. J. Hyland’s Carry Me Down
Authors:   National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Drozdovskyi Dmytro
Published: September 2022

The article analyses the philosophical features of M. J. Hyland’s novel Carry Me Down (2006), spotlighting this text in the epistemological paradigm of post-postmodernism. The analysis considers some of the distinctive features of the Irish novel in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, such as anticolonial explications and the smashed type of identity of the characters. Carry Me Down reveals the post-postmodern tendency of searching for the truth and explaining the nature of human beings as a combination of the humanitarian and the biophysical. The novel’s protagonist has a special superpower of detecting lies in the discourses produced by other characters. His inability to accept lies physically may be linked to the post-postmodern tendency of rejecting the hybrid combination of truth and untruth, typical of some kinds of postmodernist writing. The analysis also explores the representation of trauma in Hyland’s novel.

Peranan Audit Investigatif dalam menjadikan Bukti Audit sebagai Bukti Hukum untuk Pembuktian Tindak Pidana Korupsi
Authors: Maryani Neni , Sastradipraja Usman
Published: September 2022

This study aims to determine the implementation of investigative audits, how the procedures for collecting audit evidence and its development into legal evidence related to proof of Corruption Crimes, and how the role of investigative audits in making audit evidence as legal evidence to prove Corruption Crimes by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) Center. Investigative audit includes the review of financial documentation for specific purposes related to litigation and criminal matters, where the practice is prioritized in two areas of activity, namely looking for evidence of criminal acts and causes or supporters of losses. Proof in an audit perspective and evidence in law is different.

But, based on Law no. 8 of 1981, from now on referred to as KUHAP, audit evidence can be developed into legal evidence. Can obtain instructional evidence from the Audit Working Paper, documentary evidence from the Investigative Audit Result Report, can get expert evidence from the investigative auditor's statement, and the Investigative Audit Result Report? The method used in this research is a case study. Based on the research results from the discussion, it can be concluded that the implementation of investigative audits plays a role in making audit evidence legal evidence for proving Corruption Crimes. The performance of an outstanding investigative audit will produce relevant, competent, and valid audit evidence, which in the end can be developed into legally valid evidence (based on the Criminal Procedure Code). Still, audit evidence is not the only evidence used in making decisions. Not all audit evidence can be used as legal evidence.

Pepper production as Indonesia's most important plantation crop to improve people's welfare cannot be separated from the influence of land use owned by farmers. The response of farmers to pepper plants is the main key to being able to take advantage of their land area to increase pepper production in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the extensification of pepper production in Indonesia in the period 1971-2015. The research model used is descriptive analysis using linear regression.

From the calculation results, it is found that there is a unidirectional and significant relationship between land area and pepper production in Indonesia. This statement is in accordance with the production theory that increasing the area of ​​land used for pepper cultivation will increase pepper production in Indonesia.

 According to the reality, Indonesia from a geographical point of view is the country with the largest land area in addition to the high selling value of pepper, especially in the international market. Thus, the response of farmers who are large enough to plant pepper has made pepper status as the main crop and ultimately increased pepper production in Indonesia and was able to increase the export value of plantation products.

On the algorithm to perform Monte Carlo simulations in cells with constant volume and variable shape
Authors: Baumketner A.
Published: September 2022

In simulations of crystals, unlike liquids or gases, it may happen that the properties of the studied system depend not only on the volume of the simulation cell but also on its shape. For such cases it is desirable to change the shape of the box on the fly in the course of the simulation as it may not be known ahead of time which geometry fits the studied system best. In this work we derive an algorithm for this task based on the condition that the distribution of specific geometrical parameter observed in simulations at a constant volume matches that observed in the constant-pressure ensemble. The proposed algorithm is tested for the system of hard-core ellipses which makes lattices of different types depending on the asphericity parameter of the particle. It is shown that the performance of the algorithm critically depends on the range of the sampled geometrical parameter. If the range is narrow, the impact of the sampling method is minimal. If the range is large, inadequate sampling can lead to significant distortions of the relevant distribution functions and, as a consequence, errors in the estimates of free energy.

Authors: ÖZBEK Asım Enes , KARAKAYALI Onur
Published: September 2022

Aim: There is no fair predictor to determine the dehydration level in children. The objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy and reliability of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index by the use of ultrasonography to assess volume status for pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis.

Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital between December 2016 and October 2017. Patients were assessed with clinical dehydration scores and their inferior vena cava collapsibility indices were measured. The weights of the children were measured prior to treatment and one week after the improvement of symptoms. The correlation between the dehydration percentage seven days after symptom relief and inferior vena cava collapsibility index and also the correlation between clinical dehydration scale results and dehydration percentage seven days after symptom relief were determined.

Results: 190 patients enrolled in the study. 130 (68.4%) patients were found to be mildly dehydrated while 60 (31.6%) patients’ dehydration levels remained moderate to severe, and of these 18 (9.4%) were severely dehydrated. The area under the curve for the caval index was determined as 0.985 (95% CI; 0.959-1). The IVCCI cutoff of >58 produced 98.3% sensitivity, 88.5% specificity, 0.79 PPV, 0.99 NPV, 1.2 +LR, and 1.01 -LR. The AUC for moderate-to-severe dehydration was 0.778 (CI 95%: 0.703-0.854) according to the CDC and 0.764 (95% CI:0.669-0.889) for the Gorelick scale.

Conclusion: USG-guided IVC index measurement is an effective and reliable method for determining the dehydration severity in pediatric patients present with acute gastroenteritis.

Aim: The most prominent victims of the Covid-19 pandemic are healthcare workers. The increasing workload in hospitals and daily exposure to a disease factor threaten the health of healthcare professionals and the community. With this study, we aimed to investigate the risk factors in terms of infection of healthcare workers who are exposed to the disease during the health service delivery to Covid-19 patients, and whether current infection control measures are effective.

Materials and Methods: A case-control study was conducted with a questionnaire for healthcare workers diagnosed with Covid-19 and non-infected healthcare workers working in a Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul in Istanbul.

Results: In the study in which 127 healthcare workers participated, the average duration of experience in the profession was found to be higher in cases compared to controls (p = 0.011). The rate of taking prophylactic drugs after high-risk exposure to Covid-19 patients was significantly higher in the case group compared to controls (p=0,001).

Conclusion: Healthcare workers with more experience in the profession appear to be at greater risk of Covid-19 infection and high-risk unprotected exposure may be associated with higher infection rates. Three days of prophylactic hydroxychloroquine after high-risk contact with a Covid-19 patient is not effective in preventing the disease.

A REVIEW STUDY ON TWINS FACE IDENTIFICATION USING LBP TECHNIQUE
Authors: Chaurasiya Shailja
Published: September 2022

A user's identify & emotional condition can be inferred a great deal from their face. Face recognition affects vital applications in numerous fields, including recognition for police departments, identification for banking and security system access, and identifying information, amongst many others. It is a fascinating and difficult topic. The three key components of our study project are face depiction, feature extraction, & classification. The subsequent methods for identification and recognition are determined by the face recognition, which represents how to model a face. In the feature extraction stage, the facial image's most beneficial & distinctive traits are retrieved. The face image is compared to database pictures throughout the classification process. This paper concludes that the we empirically evaluate face recognition which considers both shape and texture information to represent face images based on Local Binary Patterns for person- independent face recognition. The face area is first divided into small regions from which Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are extracted and concatenated into a single feature vector. This feature vector forms an efficient representation of the face and is used to measure similarities between images. Keywords: Face recognition, local binary pattern (LBP), feature extraction, classification.
Design and analysis of solar-powered VTOL aircraft system for surveillance

UAVs today are used for a variety of applications, from recreational aviation to advanced world defense. Aside from a host of applications, modern UAVs are plagued by the age-old problem of limited range, due to battery power. Studies have suggested that more energy is used between the vertical departure phase and the arrival phase. To reduce this, the potential solution can be used in the form of VTOL UAVs introduced into the air. This may reduce the energy lost during direct and indirect climbs and this effectively increases the range. Along with this using a solar powered aircraft will take us towards a sustainable option. In this paper, we did the analysis, calculations and market research of the propulsion system and proposed the best combination of electronics required for the successful flight of a UAV. The design and evaluation of a wing are presented in this paper with combination of solar and battery power. We also aimed at building a vertically launching aircraft to save power. The presented wing is capable of producing a lift of 7kg and can be used for a surveillance aircraft. Key Words: solar-powered, VTOL, aircraft, lift, drag, payload, surveillance

Innovation is necessary for improvement. This inspirational saying triggered the author to try new things for enhancement. This study explored the effect of using pictures to instruct vocabulary in EFL classrooms. At the same time, the EFL students’ attitudes toward this instruction were also examined. To have the data for the study, a group of 70 seventh-graders at Duyen Hai Ethnic Boarding Junior High School in Tra Vinh province were recruited as participants. The study had two parts. The first part of the study dealt with the intervention of vocabulary instruction in the two groups of students. 35 students were chosen for the experimental group, and the other 35 for the control group. The experimental group was exposed to vocabulary instruction with pictures while the control group was taught with the traditional vocabulary teaching method (without using pictures). Both groups had undergone the pretest, posttest, and delayed tests. The results showed that both groups’ scores on vocabulary tests improved, but the experimental group’s scores were higher than that of its counterparts. Then, the study also had the result of the experimental students’ attitudes toward the intervention of using pictures to teach vocabulary. They had a positive attitude toward this teaching strategy. Finally, based on the results of the study, some suggestions and limitations of the study were proposed.
