Authors: Albernard Renata Serafin de , Fensterseifer Paula , Scherer Minéia Johann
Published: October 2022

No Brasil há grande esforço em manter as edificações agradáveis termicamente em virtude do predomínio de temperaturas elevadas durante o ano. Como estratégia de controle da incidência solar, as cortinas verdes - modelo de jardim vertical - mostram-se uma alternativa a ser utilizada em edificações. O objetivo desta pesquisa é desenvolver um modelo de cortina de baixo custo como estratégia de controle térmico em habitações de interesse social (HIS) na Zona Bioclimática 2 (ZB2). Construiu-se um modelo de cortina sombreando a fachada oeste de cinco HIS unifamiliares na cidade de Santa Maria, RS. Registrou-se a percepção individual dos moradores quanto ao grau de dificuldade de instalação e manutenção da cortina, através de entrevistas, e acompanhou-se o desenvolvimento da vegetação com aplicação de fichas do tipo checklist. Ao longo de cinco meses, entre primavera e verão, a atuação da cortina foi ao encontro das expectativas esperadas, mostrando-se uma estratégia bioclimática de baixo custo, fácil execução e baixa manutenção. A vegetação decídua escolhida - Wisteria sp - apresentou desenvolvimento satisfatório e adequado à região, com clima predominantemente subtropical. Assim, acredita-se que a cortina possa ser uma boa estratégia de controle térmico em HIS na ZB2.

Published: October 2022

Se realizó un estudio de los modelos de regresión paramétricos polinomiales y no paramétricos B-splines aplicados a una simulación de impacto de un automóvil contra una carrocería de autobús. Se estableció un diseño no experimental, transversal y correlacional. Se utilizó el software R y se consideraron los criterios: rechazo de la nulidad de los coeficientes de los modelos mediante la prueba de hipótesis t de Student, validez de los modelos mediante la prueba F de Snedecor de la tabla ANOVA, bondad de ajuste, intervalos de confianza al 95%, y cumplimiento de los supuestos de distribución normal, no autocorrelación y homocedasticidad de los residuos. Para la selección del modelo de regresión idóneo se aplicó la prueba no paramétrica de Wilcoxon a partir de las longitudes de los intervalos de confianza. Los modelos de regresión paramétricos polinomiales se ajustaron a las curvas con forma parabólica o que presentan una curvatura sin cambios abruptos, adaptándose mejor a las relaciones de la simulación de impacto vehicular, cuya variable explicativa es la velocidad del vehículo que impacta. Mientras los modelos de regresión no paramétricos B-splines brindaron un mejor ajuste a las curvas con forma de campana y con cambios de curvatura más abruptos.

This study examines the existence of a marketplace to meet the needs of the e-commerce-based community and legal protection for consumers in the event of a default that harms them due to online transactions without a trusted third-party intermediary as joint account holders. The formulation of the problem discussed is how a marketplace among the public facilitates online shopping, and how is legal protection for consumers who transact without a joint account? The research method used is normative and literature study based on primary materials (laws), secondary materials (scientific works, journals, books, documents, and other literature), and tertiary legal materials (legal dictionaries). The study results are that the ease of transacting online makes people start to depend on the existence of e-commerce platforms and marketplaces with various exciting features. If there is a default in transactions carried out without a joint account, legal protection can be given to consumers through complaints to the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency), which is resolved through litigation or non-litigation.
Factual Origins of Myths
Authors:   Delhi Public School, Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, Dubey Swasti
Published: October 2022

Many cultures have developed myths and legends rooted in the ideas of vampirism, lycanthropy, and witchcraft. According to anthropological currents, these stories don’t come up from nothing, but follow a process of transformation of elements drawn from real experiences eventually transformed into fictional stories depending on the message they are meant to spread. Every legend has an origin in history, an event with no plausible explanation at the time due to lack of scientific technology and resources. Although, reality can be described in scientific terms. These possible facts connected to mythology do not entirely explain the success of myth in folklore, but only some more or less impressive aspects following these legends. These facts when turned and twisted by imagination and superstitious thinking create these inexplicable enthralling stories which undoubtedly would be passed down to generations as souvenirs of history, culture, and civilization.
The Effects of Unilateral Resistance Training on Muscular Strength, Power, and Measures of Core Stability in Resistance Trained Individuals
Authors: Duong Anthony , Wójcicki Thomas R. , Carnes Andrew J.
Published: October 2022

Purpose: To examine the effects of unilateral resistance training on lower body power, muscular strength, and measures of core stability in resistance-trained college students. Methods: Participants (N=22; mean age= 19.86 ± 0.9 years) underwent 10 sessions of either unilateral (UL) or bilateral (BL) resistance training on three non-consecutive days per week for three weeks. Pre and post training outcome measures included one repetition maximum (1-RM) leg press for lower body strength, standing vertical jump (VJ) for lower body power, and double leg lowering (DLL), hip abduction isometric strength (HAIS), and Sorensen (SOR) tests for core stability. Results: There was a significant (p≤ 0.05) main effect of time across all variables, such that both groups improved scores on 1-RM leg press, VJ, DLL, HAIS, and SOR. Additionally, the magnitude of improvement (Cohen’s d) was larger in UL for all variables except VJ, which was larger in the BL group. Conclusion: This study adds to the growing body of literature investigating the effects of UL resistance training in athletic populations. Similar improvements following UL or BL resistance training suggest that both methods can effectively enhance strength, power, and core stability. UL training may potentially yield greater improvement of core stability variables.
Jump Dynamics and Leverage Effect: Evidences from Energy Exchange Traded Fund (ETFs)
Authors: Chen Jo-Hui , Hussain Sabbor
Published: October 2022

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the behavior of energy ETF prices. It applies three models: autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH), along with their revised forms, ARMA–Exponential-GARCH, Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle (GJR), and GARCH diffusion process with jump models. This study looks at the volatility behavior and jumps dynamics of Energy and Master Limited Partnership's (MLP) ETFs. The results show that ARMA-GARCH is appropriate for modeling energy and MLP ETFs. Both ETFs offer positive leverage and asymmetric volatility. The results show that the jump model with a GARCH volatility specification has an actual amount of jump presence and time variation in the jump size distribution. The conclusion of the ARMA - EGARCH model gives evidence of the reverse leverage effect. The leverage term positively influences the conditional variance, while the asymmetry coefficient for the GJR model is positive and significant. These results reveal that both Energy and MLPs ETF have high volatility.

JEL classification numbers: F3.
Keywords: Energy ETFs, MLPs, ARMA-GARCH model, Volatility Asymmetry, Leverage and Jump Effect.
Tungdunge Mundhum Establishes a Link Between the Sen and the Samba Dynasties
Authors: Subba Nawa Raj
Published: October 2022

Mundhum is knowledge. Kirat's Mundhum is comparable to the Hindu Vedas. Some even consider it folklore. The culture of Kirat was formed by combining Mundhum's wisdom and philosophy with faith. Tungdunge Mundhum is the story of Kirat Samba's ancestral relationship, empowerment, and travel details. Tungdunge used to be their ancestral deity to be worshipped every three years. Kirat Limbu is an indigenous group living in Eastern Nepal, India, Bhutan, and abroad. Different surnames identify them, and one of them is Samba Phyang. The study attempted to examine facts to connect the epic and genealogy. This research investigated the historical, archaeological, and biological context. King Kokaha-Baraha used to be considered a god in history and genealogy. Tungdunge was the youngest son of King Kokaha-Baraha in Koshi Baraha region. He belonged to the Sen dynasty. His journey described in the myth began from Koshi-Baraha to the Mewa Khola in the 17th century. In the Socio-biological approach, the gene directs the path to kinship. He had travelled to Mewa Khola searching for his brother, and Samba welcomed him. This Mundhum attests to the Sen and Samba families' ties. It was a historical case of Eastern Nepal similar to the socio-biological model explained. The Shreng and Samba lineages arose from the Sen dynasty, according to history and mundhum. As a result, the Sen dynasty is the forefather of Samba families, including Phyang.

Authors: Ari Ogah Musa , Safiyanu Aliyu Tala
Published: October 2022

The study basically assessed the role of international donor agencies and election supports in Nigeria between 1999-2015.Anchored on Poliarchy theory of international democracy and democratization as advanced by Dahl and expanded by William as it theoretical underpinning, the study utilized both primary and secondary sources of data to generate relevant information which aided the compilation of this study. In effect, findings revealed that USAID and multilateral donors like the EC have primarily supported the installation of the Euro-American version of liberal democracy, expressed overtly as support for rule of law, individual freedom and civil liberty, and free, fair and credible elections. Again and again, it was discovered that USAID played a significant role in the electoral support but to a lesser extent, they are yet to achieve their objectives as most of the informants responded negatively in terms of the needful of what USAID need to do to influence election and democratic governance in Nigeria. Based on this, the study recommends amongst others; that USAID should monitor the implementation and effective use of the electoral supports provided to avoid fungibility. Political parties should also be trained to be ideological based and principle inclined instead of just capturing power for personal benefit. This, will no doubt enable for proper monitoring, implementation and effective utilization of supports from donors agencies henceforth.

The importance of laboratory parameters in predicting the severity of coronavirus disease-19 cases
Authors: Uzun Naim , Birtekocak Fatih , Dorman Emrullah
Published: October 2022

This literature review is aimed at exploring the significance of laboratory parameters in the follow-up of the coronavirus disease-19, which is the latest global biohazard for humanity. Laboratory parameters were classified under three main headings. These headings were hematological tests, inflammatory parameters and coagulation parameters. It has been determined that low lymphocyte count, which is one of the hematological tests, is a condition seen at every stage of the disease. High neutrophil counts are evident in worsening the course of the disease. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio increases with increasing disease severity. Low platelet levels may also be observed. It has been determined that high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can be seen at every stage of the disease. In addition, as the prognosis of the illness worsened, C-reactive protein levels were found to increase more. Increased prothrombin time and high D-dimer values are evident in coagulation tests in patients with severe coronavirus disease-19. In addition, increased ferritin and procalcitonin levels are observed as the illness course worsens. As a result, lymphocytopenia and increased CRP levels come to the fore in the illness course. When the illness becomes more aggressive, prothrombin time, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil count, D-dimer, ferritin and procalcitonin levels draw attention.

INSURANCE CLAIM, RENEWAL AND SURPLUS PROCESSES IN DEPENDENT RISK MODEL THROUGH RUIN THEORY
Authors: Sreedhar G. Jagath Prasad , Suresh K. K.
Published: October 2022

The main trust of this research paper is consideration of Insurance claim, renewal and surplus processes in dependent risk model through Ruin theory. Insurance companies maintain prosperity through careful design of premium rates. The premium rates are primarily based on the claims history adjusted to evolving various factors, such as the number of customers and their policies the returns from the investments in the financial market. This allows us to recover the Ruin probabilities theory obtained for general premiums dependent on reserve customers. Compare them with the asymptotic of the equivalent Ruin probabilities when the premium rate is fixed over time, to measure the expansion generated by this additional mechanism of binding the premium rates with the amount of reserve owned by the insurance company.
TABOO WORDS AND PROHIBITIONS IN TURKIC PEOPLES
Authors:   Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, YERTAEVA Bagdat
Published: October 2022

In the article, the formation of the term "taboo", and various features of taboo in Turkish peoples will be explained in terms of mythical, traditional, religious beliefs and customs. Based on the views of foreign scholars J.Fraser, A.A.Reformatsky, P. Giro, A.I. Ivanov, S.P.Nesterov, G.P.Snesarev, who studied the concept of taboo in detail, their different scientific approaches to taboo will be examined. In addition, the direct relationship between the concept of taboo, which is settled in Turkish peoples, and belief and prohibition will be explained. In addition, based on the established taboo forms in Turkish peoples and the research of scientists in this field on taboo and prohibition, the similarities and differences of the established taboo related to the traditions and religious beliefs of the Turkish peoples will be discussed comparatively. In this sense, the words taboo and prohibition are related concepts. The ban is an example of public upbringing, a role model and counseling, and one of the educational tools. Taboo, on the other hand, is a set of rules based on customs and religious beliefs. Therefore, the concepts of taboo and prohibition are the legacy of centuries passed from generation to generation, a role model passed from father to son. As a result of the research, we have grouped the prohibition and taboo types found in Kazakh and Turkish peoples and preserved until today, and the characteristics of taboo words associated with the animal, plant, and human names, and prohibition words.
The Nexus of Altruistic and Courteous Behaviors on Job Satisfaction and Affective Organizational Commitment among Pharmaceutical Executives
Authors: Oamen Theophilus Ehidiamen , Ihekoronye Maduabuchi Romanus
Published: October 2022

Prior research in several management disciplines has shown that Altruistic and Courtesy organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) positively enhances Affective organizational commitment (OC) and Job Satisfaction (JS) in employees. The study aims to test the assumption that Altruism and Courtesy OCB positively influence JS and Affective OC among pharmaceutical executives in Nigeria. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey with data randomly collected from selected respondents (N=401). The assumptive model was evaluated with structural equation modeling using advanced analysis of composites software (ADANCO). The structural model had an acceptable fit and internal reliability of constructs. Study findings revealed that altruism OCB was not a significant predictor of JS and Affective OC (p>0.05). Courtesy OCB was a significant predictor of JS and Affective OC (p<0.01). Courtesy OCB's influence on OC is partially mediated by JS. Pharmaceutical executives' level of emotional attachment and sense of connection towards their organization improves substantially in a friendly, supportive work environment. The empirical model supports intra-collegial collective performance and productivity instead of focusing on an individual's altruistic tendencies. The study reinforces the team-based sales approach as well as the need to reward altruistic behavior from employees and subordinates.

Published: October 2022

Nano sponges are tiny sponges that may circulate throughout the body and connect to the surface, releasing the substance in a controlled and predictable manner. The development of a nanosponge-based drug delivery system has been a significant step forward in tackling some biopharmaceutical issues. Nanosponge is a polymer-based sphere that can be used for both oral and topical medication delivery. For targeted drug delivery, a wide range of pharmaceuticals can be placed into nanosponge. Both lipophilic and hydrophilic medicines can be put into nanosponge. Another notable property is their aqueous solubility, which allows them to be utilized more consistently for drugs with low solubility, enhancing bioavailability, reducing drug toxicity, and preventing drug degradation. The goal of this paper is to explain the general introduction, characteristics, method of preparation, characterization and applications of nanosponges.

Purpose: The study investigated the influence of kidnapping on the psychological distress of residents in Kaduna Metropolis, Kaduna State.

Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was utilized with cluster sampling method. One hundred and ninety-one (191) residents were the respondents. Structured standardized questionnaires were used to elicit information from the population of interest using cluster sampling technique. Data was analysed using the SPSS, Independent T-Test and Chi-Square. Two hypotheses were tested at p<0.05.

Findings: Results showed a significant relationship between kidnapping and physiological distress among residents. Since the p-value (0.0001) was less than 5% level of significance, the first hypothesis was accepted which stated that kidnapping experiences significantly influence the physiological distress of residents in Kaduna Metropolis. However, there was no significant difference in psychological distress between male and female residents. The p-value was more than the 5% level of significance. The second hypothesis was rejected since all the p-values are greater than the 5% level of significance. It was concluded that the high state of insecurity from kidnapping was impacted adversely on the residents of Kaduna metropolis leading to a heightened degree of psychological distress.

Recommendations: There is need for counselling and psychotherapy to alleviate the distress which has shown no signs of abating. The security personnel should be increased and equipped and informants protected by the federal government. The large number of unemployed citizens should be empowered to reduce the level of unemployment in the Metropolis by the state government.

Stress among teachers was assessed using a stress scale questionnaire and the coping strategies were assessed using the coping questionnaire developed by Folkman and Lazarus (1988) and open ended questionnaire was used to assess the effects of stress on the performance of teachers.  Quantitative data was coded on themes derived from the objectives of the study.  Quantitative data was analyzed using factor analysis, t-test and correlation analysis. 

Findings: The major sources of stress in terms of factors were work-oriented, personal failure factors and poor working habits factors. In case of coping strategies for social support seeking coping strategy, the main strategy used was “accepted since nothing could be done” and e least used was “avoided stressful work”. Emotional focused coping strategy had “prayed or got involved in other spiritual activities” as main strategy used while “I brought the risk to myself” was the least used strategy.  And “kept myself from thinking too much about stress” was main strategy used while “gone on as if nothing had happened” was least used by the teachers in coping with stress. There was a negative relationship between all the three factors of stress indicating that whenever one was stressed, then their performance was negatively affected.

Purpose: To determine the psychological impact and perception of covid -19 pandemic on pregnant women presenting to a tertiary care hospital, KPK, Pakistan.

Methodology: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on pregnant women in the outpatient department of Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from 1st February 2020 to 31st March 2021. All pregnant women (n=424) visiting gynae OPD who fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria were included. The questionnaire was filled out by physicians for patients and the Kessel-10 scale was used to classify the anxiety.

Findings: Fifty one 51% females fall in the 19-25 years age group. 54.5% were illiterate with most of the women (94.6%) being housewives. The majority of the 424 women in the study were multiparous (59%) and 59.1% presented in their third trimester. The highest number of patient women in the age group 19-25 years suffered mild distress. Moderate stress was found in 54 women. In all age groups, a total of 11 patients suffered severe psychological distress. 144 women reported having no stress.  Nulliparous women were 109 in total and most of them had either mild disorder (n=54) or no stress at all (n=48). the majority of ladies who were housewives stated that they have been mildly stressed (n=208) or not stressed at all (n=139). A total of 11 women had faced severe stress. 247 women had third-trimester pregnancies and most of them (n=129) had mild stress. Severe distress affected 8 of the third-trimester women and 3 of the 2nd-trimester women. Most women (71.9%) believed that elective Cesarian surgery is not better than vaginal delivery during the covid -19 pandemic. COVID-19 pandemic has created anxiety in more than half (53%) of pregnant women visiting OPDs. The literacy rate and occupational status of women had little effect on the occurrence of psychological distress.

Recommendations: Strict SOPs must be observed in hospitals and pregnant women should receive counseling regarding their fears and anxiety from medical care-takers. More studies are needed to measure mental health challenges in pregnant and postpartum women, as well as the resilience and risk factors associated with beneficial outcomes, to attenuate the pandemics' long-term mental health impacts.
