Deregulation and the Museum and Art Gallery Support Act: Focusing on the Museum’s Legal Definition and Classification
Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Park Sohyun
Published: April 2023

Until recently, there have been constant calls for a complete revision of the Museum and Art Gallery Support Act. At the center is the argument that the legal definition and conceptual system for museums and art galleries should be corrected. This paper tried to clarify why the legal definition, scope of application, and classification system of museums and art galleries are always and still important issues. The government-wide deregulation stance and the quantitative expansion of cultural facilities at the cultural policy level, which began in earnest in the 1990s, were factors that drove the process of enacting and revising the law. In the process, the policy direction of museums and art galleries, quantitative expansion through deregulation, was established, and active adjustment of the legal definition, scope of application, and classification system became the core strategy of deregulation. In other words, the provisions on the definition, scope, and classification system were repeatedly revised to maximize the effect of quantitative expansion by lowering the threshold of legal boundaries of museums and art galleries as much as possible and expanding the scope as possible. As a result, the problems caused by the revision have been repeatedly pointed out since the 2000s, but the revision for the re-establishment of the conceptual system was considered contrary to deregulation and was not made. And the confusion of the conceptual system in law became and amplified the confusion of reality. Based on existing studies, this paper attempted to problemize the confusion caused by the policy stance of deregulation into specific legal issues.

Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Yang Jiyeon , Son Chahye
Published: April 2023

This study explored a direction for developing professional art appraisers based on related literature reviews and qualitative interviews, in order to strengthen art appraisers’ reliability and ensure the art market’s sustainable growth. Art appraisal is a specialized area, which is distinct from authentication, and it requires that personnel be systematically educated and trained based on specific qualifications. Institutionally (e.g, the recently introduced system for the payment-in-kind with artwork·cultural heritage for inheritance tax), reliable practice of art appraisal is becoming more imperative, and professionalization is being discussed in Korea. Against this background, as a result of exploring research problems for fostering art appraisers through in-depth interviews with 12 experts, opinions on the demand for art appraiser manpower, job title·duty·competency, manpower training plan, and the role of the government, industry, and academia were summarized. After evaluating advanced cases from overseas, as well as in-depth interviews with domestic experts, suggestions for professional development of art appraisers were discussed in 6 areas as follows: (1) specific demands and premises for fostering art appraiser; (2) unifying the professional title of ‘art appraiser’; (3) establishing terms and practical guidelines for art appraisal; (4), step-by-step and systematic curriculum design based on job and competency; (5), introduction of an official licence system; and (6) finally, the complementary and cooperative roles of government, industry and academia. The significance of this study lies on suggesting a direction for fostering professional art appraisers in Korea based on empirical data while the theoretical bases of art appraisal and the academic research on it are yet insufficient.

Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Han Man Yong , Choi Hyung Yun
Published: April 2023

Currently, automated driving vehicles perform the function of assisting driving at the level of Level 2, and the driver must always be careful to look forward and perform steering and pedal operations, just like existing non-autonomous cars. However, in Level 4 highly automated vehicles (HAV), there is no driver intervention, so passengers can take various postures and actions. In this situation, in order to secure the collision safety of autonomous vehicles, it is necessary to reflect various conditions of passengers. To this end, this study conducted a study on the preferred seating position and seating posture under autonomous vehicle conditions. An online survey was conducted on 80 expert groups with knowledge of self-driving cars, including demographics, driving-related questions, seating-related questions in sedans, seating-related questions in MPVs, and common questions. A total of 16 items were conducted. Through this, preferred seating positions and sitting postures for each major activity were collected. Seat rotation was the preferred sitting posture when talking with a passenger, and seat back relaxation was confirmed as the preferred sitting posture under sleeping conditions. In addition, the rate of negative opinions (safety concerns, anxiety, and motion sickness concerns) about the seat rotation function was high at 92% through common questions. Negative opinions (safety concerns, poor space utilization, high cost) about the relaxation seat were 77%. In the above survey results, it was found that respondents considered convenience (56%) more important than safety (44%). Through this study, it was possible to identify the preferred seating position and posture of passengers under autonomous vehicle conditions, and this is expected to be useful data that can be used for testing and verification necessary to secure integrated safety in the future.

EXPLORING THE ANTI-WEAR AND EXTREME PRESSURE LUBRICATING PERFORMANCE OF JATROPHA OIL MODIFIED WITH NANO-ADDITIVES AND GARLIC OIL
Authors: Mushtaq Zahid , Hanief Mohammad
Published: April 2023

It is imperative to emphasize the wear-reducing and load-sustaining abilities of the lubricating oils, as they are an essential part of their operation. In this study, the anti-wear and extreme pressure (EP) performance of Jatropha oil was explored. The investigation was executed on a 4-ball tester machine according to ASTM-D-4172 and D-2783 standards. Nano-sized Molybdenum disulfide and graphene were added to the base oil, whose addition reduced the wear on the test balls but failed to improve the EP properties. However, the addition of Garlic oil elevated the EP properties of the base oil. The Last Non-seizure load and weld point of the jatropha oil was elevated by up to 3 levels, while the Load Wear index was increased by 91.88%. The Flash Temperature Parameter of jatropha oil was increased by 658% and 250% at 100kgf and 126kgf load, respectively, after the addition of 5% garlic oil. Further, the wear scars were examined under an optical microscope and FESEM, which proved that the addition of nano-additives reduced the wear of the balls during anti-wear tests at lower loads, and garlic oil reduced the wear in EP conditions and produced smoother surfaces. These improvements were attributed to the formation of tribo-films on the surfaces as characterized by the EDS analysis. It was concluded that Garlic oil could be a substantial EP additive to vegetable oils (especially jatropha oil) to lift their load-carrying capacity without hampering their environmentally friendly nature.

Published: April 2023

Rural women in India have always been viewed as a gender which is best suitable for household work and not as a conventional monetary contributor. In general, life is difficult for rural women but it’s even harder to live in mountains where basic requisite for living conditions such as potable water, fuel wood, cattle fodder, and hospital etc., never comes easy and leads to manual material handling of the tasks such as awkward or restrained heavy lifting, carrying, pushing, or tugging. It is amajor health concerns among rural women causing long-term suffering, disability, reduced productivity, and increased medical expenses among rural women due to the well-established risk factor of excessive physical labor. Present study investigates the probable catalysts pertaining to the physical health of rural women native to the mountainous region. 150 women from Amsore village of Uttarakhand were enrolled for this study. All the participants were evaluated using a semi-structured questionnaire for demographic profile and Borg scale of perceived exertion for activities impact assessment. Fetching water (100%), fodder collection (71.33%) and firewood collection (80%) were reported as the most exertion inducing tasks causing physical stress to the women. Low income, unemployment, and poverty, as well as inadequate education, poor sanitation, hazardous working environments, and a lack of access to health care, have been identified as major contributors to health disparities. In order to increase socio-economic contribution and lower the frequency of health injuries among women, these findings urge for preventive efforts and safety guidelines.

Published: April 2023

World population is increasing day by day and to satisfy their various needs, plastic material become part and parcel of life. Millions of tons of these non degradable plastics accumulate in the environment per year and cause hazardous effects on flora and fauna. Hence there was ever pending search for bioproduct which can substitute this nonbiodegradable plastic. Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB) are drawing much attention as they are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and also biocompatible bioplastics. In the present study an attempt was made to isolate and characterize the PHB producing microorganisms from Karad region of Maharashtra. Total 75 isolates obtained from soil, spent wash, pond water, dairy effluent, cow dung, soil and organic waste samples were enriched using mineral salt medium and then screened primarily for PHB producers by Sudan Black B plate staining method followed by secondary screening using Nile blue plate assay method. As a result of screening, 11 PHB producing potential isolates were obtained which were then studied for morphological, biochemical and enzymatic characters. By referring Bergeys Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and 16 S r RNA technique these 11 PHB producing isolates were identified and found from genera Bacillus, Candida, Citrobacter and Klebsiella, Staphylococcus and Rhodococcus.

Hence, the genotypes which exhibited better performance for these characters can be used in further improvement of okra.
Optimization for Carbon Footprint in an Institutional Campus
Authors: Baste Prajakta , Thakare Ar. Hemant
Published: April 2023

Development of environmentally sustainable cities is the need of today’s fast urbanizing India. By 2050 nearly half the Indian population will be living in urban areas. Urban activities have increased the atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and will continue to increase. Indian cities are major producers of CO2, but are not planned for enough Carbon Storage to compensate their own Carbon Footprints. It is imperative to maintain the ‘‘balance’’ between the Carbon emission and Sequestration to achieve environmental sustainability. Any process that removes CO2 from the atmosphere and deposits it in a reservoir of any particular type (plant material, wood, soil, etc) is termed as ‘Carbon Sequestration’. The Trees make the withdrawal of CO2 from the atmosphere with the process of photosynthesis and store it in the form of growing plant material. Around 5%-21% of total photosynthetically fixed Carbon is transferred into the rhizosphere through root exudates. This study constitutes an estimation of standing biomass in the form of Plants and Trees, and the Carbon Sequestration by them at the institutional campus – ‘Udhaji Maratha Boarding Campus, Nasik’. Objective is to find their value in environmental optimization w.r.t. CO2 footprint of the campus. This study tries to estimate (i) CO2 Sequestration by existing plant material, (ii) required Sequestration as per the current Carbon footprint of the users. Further this research projects the Carbon Sequestration in the future by the current vegetation after its 100% growth.

Published: April 2023

A field experiment was carried out to determine the genetic variability, heritability and Genetic advance present in twenty-two genotypes of garden pea during Rabi season 2021-22 at ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Babbur farm, Hiriyur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with two replications. Observations were recorded on various yield and yield contributing characters. In general, the magnitude of the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was greater than that of the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and the narrow difference between them indicates less environmental influence on the expression of the trait. High PCVand GCV (>20%) were recorded on plant height, number of branches per plant, pod thickness, number of pods per plant and non-reducing sugars which indicates the presence of high genetic variation and scope for effective improvement. All the characters studied in this experiment showed high heritability (>60%) in a broad sense coupled with high genetic advance as per cent over a mean (>20%) except for days to first flowering, days to 50 per cent flowering and days taken for first picking. This indicates the existence of additive gene action and the need for population improvement through selection. The genotypes that exhibit specific traits can be used in a hybridization programme

Published: April 2023

Large scale surface coal mining activities result in disturbance of the local ecosystem by creating different land uses that alter soil properties and hydrological balance of the mining area and surrounding environment. This study aims to evaluate the changes in soil properties in mining affected lands (mine face topsoil, wasteland and agriculture land) and reclaimed mine soil (RMS), and to quantify the changes of the selected soil properties with respect to reference Sal forest (Shorearobusta Gaertn. F.). Changes in soil properties were analyzed on a profile basis (0–20, 20–40 and 40–60 cm). The study indicates that soil pH, electrical conductivity, and bulk density were increased significantly, while a decrease in nutrient content (N, P, and K) was observed in the mining affected lands. The overall findings of this study indicated that conversion of Sal forest into other land uses due to mining significantly reduced the nutrient content and soil quality of the area. Reclamation of the mine degraded land in short duration does not restore the overall properties of the soils, which has long term impacts on the surrounding ecosystem.

Published: April 2023

The present study was carried out to investigate tree species diversity, population dynamics, and tree species regeneration patterns at Rajabhatkhawa Range of Buxa Tiger Reserve of West Bengal to better understand the regeneration dynamics and population structure of tree species. A total of 140 quadrats (size 2m × 2 m) were set with the sampling intensity 0.1% for regeneration survey of the area by following random quadrat sampling method. This study documented about ”106" regenerating tree species, representing “74” genera and “40” families from the study area from which about “47” percent of tree species showed “good” regeneration status. Monoon simiarum had highest seedlings density with 8125.00 seedlings ha-1 followed by Aglaia spectabilis (4642.86 seedlings ha-1). Monoon simiarum showed highest IVI index of 15.19, followed by Aglaia spectabilis (10.41). About 9 percent of the species had “fair” regeneration status and 8 percent had “poor” regeneration status, the fair or poor regeneration might be due to insufficient seed dispersal that limits native species colonisation. However, it was observed that a total of 18 percent of tree species were classified as “not regenerating” and again 18 percent of tree species that were present in either sapling or seedling stage but no adult stage were categorized as new regeneration.

Alcohols are renewable fuels. They can be conveniently used in spark ignition engines. They have octane number (a measure of combustion quality in spark ignition engine) higher than gasoline. Alcohols are important substitutes for gasoline, in the context of fast depletion of fossil fuels, ever increase of pollution levels with fossil fuels and increase of economic burden due to import of crude petroleum the search for alternative fuels has become pertinent. Investigations were carried out to determine pollution levels of variable speed, variable compression ratio, four- stroke, single cylinder, spark ignition (SI) engine having copper coated engine [CCE, copper-(thickness, 250 ìm) coated on piston crown and inner side of cylinder head] provided with catalytic converter with sponge iron/manganese ore as catalyst with different test fuels of neat gasoline, gasohol (85% gasoline and 15% ethanol by volume) and methanol blended gasoline (85% gasoline and 15% methanol by volume) and compared with conventional engine (CE) with neat gasoline operation. Exhaust emissions of carbon mono oxide (CO), un-burnt hydro carbons (UBHC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) were varied with different values of brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) of the engine with different versions of the engine with test fuels with and without provision of the catalytic converter with sponge iron or manganese ore as catalyst. The engine was provided with catalytic converter with sponge iron and manganese ore as catalysts. There was provision for injection of air into the catalytic converter. The performance of the catalyst was compared with one over the other. Methanol blended gasoline decreased exhaust emissions effectively in comparison with gasohol with both versions of the engine. Catalytic converter with air injection significantly reduced pollutants with different test fuels on both configurations of the engine.

Published: April 2023

In the context of depletion of fossil fuels, ever increase of pollution levels with fossil fuels and escalating prices of crude petroleum in International market, the search for alternative fuels has become pertinent. Alcohols (ethanol, methanol and butanol) and vegetable oils are important substitutes for diesel fuel. Alcohols renewable in nature, have low C/H (C=Number of carbon atoms and H=Number of hydrogen atoms in fuel composition and highly volatile. Butanol has higher calorific value than ethanol and methanol. Vegetable oils comparable cetane number and energy content when compared to diesel fuel. However, the drawbacks of vegetable oils (high viscosity and low volatility) and alcohols (low cetane number and low energy content) to be used as fuels in diesel engine call for semi adiabatic diesel engine (SADE) with its significance characteristics of higher operating temperature, maximum heat release, high brake thermal efficiency and ability to handle the low calorific value fuel.Exhaust emissions from diesel engine cause severe health hazards once they are inhaled in. They also cause environmental disorders. Hence control of these emissions is immediate step and urgent. In order to take advantages from both vegetable oils and alcohols, it is proposed to use the vegetable oil along with carbureted butanol in semi adiabatic diesel engine. Butanol was inducted into the engine through a variable jet carburetor, installed at the inlet manifold of the engine at different percentages of crude vegetable oil at full load operation on mass basis. Crude vegetable oil was injected at near end of compression stroke in conventional manner. Exhaust emissions were determined with semi adiabatic engine consisting of air gap (3 mm) insulated piston with superni (an alloy of nickel) crown, air gap (3 mm) insulated liner with superni insert and ceramic coated cylinder head with mixture of carbureted butanol and crude vegetable oil with varied injector opening pressure and injection timing. Comparative studies were made with data of conventional engine (CE) with maximum induction of Butanol at similar operating conditions. Aldehydes were measured by wet method. The maximum induction of butanol was 60% at recommended injection timing of 27obTDC (before top dead center), while it was 55% at optimum injection timing of 29obTDC.
Microplastic Hazards and Possible Mitigation
Authors: Dutta Pinak , Dutta Mita
Published: April 2023

Overuse of plastic that live on in nature has created a global crisis on our ecosystem and environment. Small particles of plastic of diameter upto 5mm called microplastics are found everywhere clogging the arteries of our mother nature. Microplastics absorb organic contaminants and act as vectors of potentially hazardous chemicals in living system. To save the flora and fauna of the earth from hazards of microplastics, the potential sources of microplastics should be identified and use of plastics be controlled and if possible terminated, Plastic litters should be recycled and reprocessed. To decrease our dependency on plastics, alternatives should be found. Research on plastic recycling and finding plastic alternatives should be scaled up. Most importantly common people should be made aware of the hazards of use of plastic. Public opinion in favour of termination of plastic use would be the most powerful weapon in saving the earth from this crisis

Published: April 2023

The most extensively farmed mushroom in the world is Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach. WBD, which is predominantly instigated by Mycogone perniciosa, might pose a severe danger to A. bisporus output over the world. Because of the similarity between A. bisporus and M. perniciosa, it was predicted that the current study would choose reliable antimycotic agents that could favorably treat this fungal disease on mushrooms. The antimycotic susceptibility of host and pathogen was investigated in vitro using six different fungicides. The effects of chlorothalonil, carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, azoxystrobin, difenoconazole, and kresoximmethyl on M. perniciosa, the mycoparasite that origins white button mushroom wet bubble disease, were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Chlorothalonil and carbendazim were the potent antimycotic agents for reducing M. perniciosa mycelial growth in vitro, with inhibitions of 96.93 percent and 94.15 percent, respectively. Chlorothalonil inhibited the pathogen’s mycelial growth at 25-500 ppm, whereas carbendazim did so at 5 to 100 ppm, with least (16.67 percent) inhibition of A. bisporus mycelium. Difenoconazole, kresoximmethyl and azoxystrobin among other fungicides, were shown to be very repressive to the pathogen (91.81 percent, 83.26 percent and 71.05 percent) with the largest percentage of inhibition (87.77 percent, 84.44 percent and 75.55 percent) of A. bisporus mycelium. Chlorothalonil and carbendazim and thiophanatemethyl continued to handle WBD in field experiments with a smaller impact on mushrooms than other fungicides.

Authors: Ganvir V.N , Sathe S.J
Published: April 2023

Imidacloprid (IMI), a neonicotinoid-class synthetic organic insecticide has the potential to have a negative influence on ecosystems and human health, and it has been identified as an emerging pollutant in all parts of the world in recent years. Microbial degradation is an efficient, clean and environmentally acceptable technique over physical and chemical methods for the bioremediation of organic contaminants like IMI. Our aim was to evaluate the ability of soil isolate Cytobacillus firmus strain VG5 to degrade IMI in MSM medium with glucose as a co-substrate. In liquid media, degradation was initially confirmed by nitrate reduction test. VG5 reduced IMI into guanidine with the removal of NO2- group and showed up to 87% degradation in 7 days. Spots with different Rf values on TLC sheet were identified by HPLC and GC-MS/ MS techniques as imidacloprid guanidine and 6-chloronicotinic acid based on respective standard spectra and m/z ratio. Strain VG5 showed potential to reduce pesticide pollution and further studies should be conducted to understand the degradation mechanism of IMI in soil under in- situ conditions.

Authors: Srividhya S  , Singh P.K
Published: April 2023

Rice cultivation in the islands encounters submergence at various growth stages leading to Substantial yield and quality loss. Continuous and heavy rainfall during a short-span leads to water logging and continuous submergence even up to five days. Developing submergence/flooding tolerant versions of adapted elite rice genotypes helps to reduce the yield loss in these areas. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the physiological response of rice genotypes adapted to island conditions under submergence stress. The outcome of the study will help to identify promising donor for breeding submergence stress tolerance cultivars with the background of popular rice varieties of A&N islands. The tolerant genotypes like Black Burma, IR64 Sub1, revealed that they posses many of the adaptive traits like slower elongation during submergence, chlorophyll retention, higher stem reserves post submergence, higher survival per centage required for the flood-prone island ecosystem.

Dens Evaginatus of Bilateral Permanent Mandibular Premolars with Pulpal Involvement: A Case Report
Authors: MS Lee
Published: April 2023

Dens evaginatus (DE) is a rare developmental anomaly resulting in an extra cusp in teeth. This odontogenic malformation occurs during morphodifferentiation before the mineralization of hard tissue. We report an interesting case of an 11-yearold Asian boy who presented with acute pain and tooth mobility on permanent mandibular premolars due to bilateral DE. Radiographic evaluation revealed acute periapical radiolucency indicative of an abscess. Permanent mandibular right first premolar (an immature apex tooth) was treated with apexification while permanent mandibular left second premolar (a mature apex tooth) was treated with conventional root canal treatment. The differential treatments based on the degree of root formation led to favorable outcomes of preserving the teeth. Appropriate DE diagnosis is vital to timely treatments and positive prognosis while avoiding unnecessary extractions.

This study was aime to measure the accumulation of endogenous salicylic acid, as indicator for systemic acquired re-sistance of wheat plants of “Utique” variety. The plant was sprayed with salicylic acid (SA) or water as control, at the five-leaf stage, later infected with leaf blight caused by Alternaria triticina. Leaf samples were removed after 10, 20, and 30 days of inoculation to test their endogenous content of salicylic acid as it is the primary internal signal indicating the emergence of systemic acquired resistance in plants, by the spectrophotometer measuring. Endogenous SA values were ascending dramatically from 10 days to 20 days and maximum with 30th day significantly, while control plants exhibit lower values in all day periods, insignificantly. SA treatments proved reduction in disease incidence after 10 days with 54% and after 20 days with 64%, while after 30 days the reduction recorded high percentage of 80%. In comparison between the time intervals, disease severity was clearly reduction and reached to 83% after 10 days of inoculation then decreased to 72% for both 20th and maintained its stability on the 30th day of inoculation by 72%. This study was proved the reduction of wheat leaf blight incidence and disease severity as a result of treatment by using 1Millimolar (mM) of SA was leading to accumulation of significant levels of endogenous SA as indicator for internal induced resistance in plant.

Authors: Lee Samuel
Published: April 2023

Als socioloog van niet-westerse samenlevingen met dertig jaar pastorale dienst aan Afrikaanse gemeenschappen, hoop ik met deze bijdrage inzicht te geven in de manier waarop West-Afrikanen in mijn gemeenschap in Amsterdam tegen racisme, zwarte profilering en vooroordelen aankijken. Tegelijkertijd kan het begrijpen van de West-Afrikaanse en West-Europese wereldbeelden dienen om een brede dialoog te openen over het verleden en het huidige discours over slavernij, racisme en zwarte profilering. Dit artikel is geschreven op basis van pastorale ervaringen, gecombineerd met sociologische analyses en theologie vanuit een praktisch perspectief.

Pap Béla élete (1907–1957)
Authors: Csűrös András
Published: April 2023

Pap Béla a kalotaszegi Gyalun született. Trianon következtében menekült a család Budapestre, ahol nagy szegénységben éltek. Teológus évei után bekapcsolódott az SDG ifjúsági missziójába, később a Református Szeretetszövetségben szolgált. 1937-ben került Vácra, onnan 1942-ben Karcagra. A háborút követően markáns kiállása egyre magasabbra emelte, miközben a hatalommal egyre jobban szembetalálta magát. A nagy fordulat az 1951. október 24-i, vízválasztó zsinati ülés volt, ahol ügyes taktikázás és szervezkedés után egy „zsinati kisforradalmat” vitt végbe. Ennek következményeként lecsapott rá az államvédelmi hatóság. Négy és fél év börtönbüntetésre és teljes vagyonelkobzásra ítélték. 1956-ban szabadult. A koncepciós eljárás és büntetés után következett az adminisztratív ellehetetlenítés. Életének következő szakasza a bizonytalanságból az eltűnésbe vezet. Pap Béla 1956. augusztus 10-én tűnt el. Az eltűnés nyomozati anyagain, jelentéseken, személyes visszaemlékezéseken keresztül próbáljuk rekonstruálni az eltűnés körülményeit. Az eltűnést követte a szellemi eltüntetés. Ahogy Bartha Tibor fogalmazott Németh Erzsébetnek 1984-ben: „Volt férje ennek a rendszernek ellensége volt, nem engedhetjük meg újra, hogy elővegyék az ügyét.”Pap Béla életét megismerve egy kalandos, igazi XX. századi lelkipásztori életúttal találkozhatunk, mely nem tűnt el nyomtalanul a Református Egyházban.
