Authors: Moeed Swehra
Published: December 2020

Teachers play key role in imparting knowledge and educating society. They are responsible for production of leaders, bureaucrats, technocrats, doctors and engineers. They provide valuable citizen to the nation. Teacher is an agent who helps in economic growth of country through development of human capital. They are responsible for achievement of nation goals. The educational institutes without teachers are like a body without soul. Unfortunately, the Government Degree Colleges of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are still deprived of teaching staff. In order to find out cause of teacher shortage a study was carried through qualitative approach. The data was gathered by observation, unstructured interview (Discussion) and available literature. The data revealed that still some colleges of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are facing dearth of teaching staff. The reasons behind scarcity of teacher at colleges include teachers absenteeism, non-professional attitude of teachers, nepotism in recruitment, posting and transfer, political interference, posting of surplus teachers in colleges where their services are not required, biasness of administrative staff of education department, unnecessary detailment order by education department and lack of accountability. It has been suggested that fair policy in recruitment and posting may be ensured. New post in various subjects may be created as per need of colleges. All the staff members should be dealt on equity basis. The rules and regulations as pre-determined by administrative department should be implemented impartially without any discrimination.

Published: December 2020

Current circulation provides major transport mechanism especially for benthic organism in the ocean. The present study described current circulation in inshore reef area within Kuantan coastal region by applying a numerical modelling of MIKE 21 Flow Model FM software. Model simulation produced good outcomes when compared with field data measurement with root mean square error (RMSE) for surface elevation, current speed and direction were below 20. Results also clearly indicated that current speed in inshore reef area was highly correlated with local tidal pattern in which higher flow speed were observed during high tides compared to low tide. Contrary to previous belief, our results clearly show the prevalence of tidal forcing in shaping current flow pattern in the study area since the impact of wind forcing was minimal during different monsoon seasons. This study gave new insight into how local tidal properties can regulate hydrodynamic pattern especially in fine-scale inshore reef area.

Published: December 2020

A pot experiment was conducted in University of Agriculture Faisalabad to assess the effect of Cu and Zn uptake on morphological, physiological, biochemical and yield attributes of Helianthus annuus L.(Sunflower). Two hybrids FH-612 and FH-621 were used during this study. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and three replicates. After 20 days of germination the plants were subjected to different levels of ZnCl2, CuSO4 and with their combination. Three harvests were taken at an interval of seven days each to study the growth rate, morphological, physiological and biochemical attributes. At the maturity of crops final harvest was taken and yield attributes were recorded. Data of various attributes were statistically analyzed. It was observed that both the metals caused negative effect on growth rate as well as the other parameters studied. The effect was more pronounced in the metal combination treatment. Ultimately the yield was significantly reduced due to the effect of metals in both hybrids. However hybrid FH-612 revealed slight tolerance towards Cu and Zn toxicity as compared to its counterpart. FH- 621. Thus it was concluded that Cu and Zn affect the morphological, physiological and yield attributes of sunflower when applied in higher concentration.

Published: December 2020

Research on bacteria associated with various red seaweed species are emerging due to the interest to understand bacteria-seaweed interaction and functional roles of bacteria in a seaweed environment. Edible red seaweed, Gracilaria sp. is farmed primarily in China, followed by Indonesia and Malaysia but little is known on its associated bacteria and potential functions. This study aimed to isolate and identify cultivable bacteria from extracts of seaweed samples collected from a seaweed cultivation farm in Kedah, Malaysia. The results are hoped to provide insights into beneficial bacteria that exist in the farmed seaweed environment. Through cultivation on strategic enrichment media, 18 isolates OTUs were identified from bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria. These phyla are ubiquitous in seawater and some isolates were homologous to bacteria in marine host cluster. Further investigation on these isolates is hoped to reveal how the isolated bacteria can be beneficial in a seaweed environment or for other biodiscoveries.

Application of animal manures influences enzymatic activities and microbial dynamics in soils. Poultry manure (PM) and swine manures (SM) were applied at the rate of 30 t ha−1 each. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Soils were sampled at day 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 84 from 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths. In both the PM and SM amended soils, significant increase in soil pH was observed. In PM treated soil, alkaline phosphatase significantly increased from 0.38 Mg g-1 to 4.94 Mg g-1 whereas in SM treated soil, it increased from 1.21 Mg g-1 to 4.80 Mg g-1. Acid phosphatase significantly increased from 0.42 Mg g-1 to 3.02 Mg g-1 in PM amended soil while increases from 0.11 Mg g-1 to 2.38 Mg g-1 were observed in SM amended soil. The application of PM and SM increased Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Count significantly from 1.27×104 Cfu g-1 to 8.63×107 Cfu g-1 and from 1.40×104 Cfu g1 to 8.10×107 Cfu g-1, respectively. Total Fungal Count significantly increased from 1.63×103 Cfu g-1 to 4.67×106 Cfu g-1 and from 2.00×103 Cfu g-1 to 5.67×106 Cfu g-1 in PM and SM amended soils, respectively.
REVIEW ON THE ROLE OF EARTHWORMS ON HILLSLOPE HYDROLOGY AND SOIL EROSION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DANUM VALLEY, SABAH, MALAYSIA
Authors: Yahya Noor Ain , Payus Carolyn , Bidin Kawi
Published: December 2020

Hydrological routes exist through active burrowing of soil fauna, and in numbers improve soil drainage systems. Earthworms are of particular interest because their presence is known widely to increase infiltration and reduce erosion rates by creating macropores and stable casts. Ideally during non-extreme rainfall events on flatlands, earthworm macropores lengthens the time prior to soil surface saturation thus slowing down occasions of overland flow resulting in runoff. Hypothesizing similar effects on hillslopes with gradients can be misleading whereas laboratory experiments which try to recreate and simulate field consistency cannot match the natural soil architecture which is vital in the dissection of the many bio-geophysical processes involved in the rainfall-runoff process. This review paper aims to summarize past studies conducted around the world and highlighting possible gaps on earthworm’s studies related to hillslopes and erosion.

(de Asís-Fernández F, del Corral T, López-de-Uralde-Villanueva I. Effects of inspiratory muscle training versus high intensity interval training on the recovery capacity after a maximal dynamic apnoea in breath-hold divers. A randomised crossover trial. Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2020 December 20;50(4):318–324. doi: 10.28920/dhm50.4.318-324. PMID: 33325010.) Introduction: After a maximal apnoea, breath-hold divers must restore O2 levels and clear CO2 and lactic acid produced. High intensity interval training (HIIT) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) could be employed with the aim of increasing recovery capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the relative effects of IMT versus HIIT on recovery of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), and also on pulmonary function, inspiratory muscle strength, lactate and heart rate recovery after a maximal dynamic apnoea in breath-hold divers. Methods: Fifteen breath-hold divers performed two training interventions (IMT and HIIT) for 20 min, three days per week over four weeks in randomised order with a two week washout period. Results: IMT produced a > 3 s reduction in SpO2 recovery time compared to HIIT. The forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) were significantly increased in the IMT group compared to HIIT. The magnitude of these differences in favour of IMT was large in both cases. Neither training intervention was superior to the other for heart rate recovery time, nor in peak- and recovery- lactate. Conclusions: IMT produced a reduction in SpO2 recovery time compared to HIIT after maximal dynamic apnoea. Even a 3 s improvement in recovery could be important in scenarios like underwater hockey where repetitive apnoeas during high levels of exercise are separated by only seconds. IMT also improved FEV1 and MIP, but no differences in lactate and heart rate recovery were found post-apnoea between HIIT and IMT.
EGEMENLİK VE İNSANCIL MÜDAHALE: ÇELİŞKİLİ BİR KURAM OLARAK ULUSLARARASI HUKUK

Bu çalışmada, Eleştirel Hukuk Çalışmalarının -bilhassa Martti Koskenniemi’nin- kavramlarına başvurularak, “egemenlik ve insancıl müdahale” ikili karşıtlığı hususunda değerlendirmeler yapılacaktır. Devletlerin ulusal çıkarlarının gerektirdiği konu ve zamanlarda, gerek egemenlik haklarına gerekse insancıl müdahaleye vurgu yapabildikleri görülmektedir. Bu iki kavram arasında, itme ve çekmeden kaynaklanan bir felç durumu söz konusudur. Bu felç durumu, egemenlik nosyonunun başat olduğu bir sistemde açmazı derinleştirmekte ve bu iki kavram arasında bir taraf seçimini imkânsız kılmaktadır. Söz konusu açmazın çözümü için ortaya atılan Koruma Sorumluluğu (R2P) doktrini, insancıl nedenlerle müdahaleyi “egemenliğin” bir sonucu olarak kodlayarak söz konusu açmazı çözmeye çalışmıştır. Ne var ki bu hâliyle doktrin devlet davranışlarının bir “apolojisi” olmaktan kurtulamamaktadır. Sonuç olarak yapısından dolayı son derece esnek olan uluslararası hukuk, taraflar arasındaki en küçük bir güç eşitsizliğinde güçlüden yana tavır almaktadır. Bu nedenle “adalet” ilkesinin yeniden sisteme entegre edilmesi, söz konusu açmazın çözümünde bir yol olabilir.
On the classification of damaging factors in forensic medicine
Authors: Bozhchenko Alexandr , Semenov Sergey
Published: December 2020

The article considers the disadvantages of modern forensic classifications of damaging factors. Attention is drawn to the fact that the mental damaging factor undoubtedly exists, but the assessment of its specific role in the formation of “damage” is the subject of forensic psychiatry, which is an independent medical discipline. The social factor mainly affects the behavior of an individual (population group), but its specific features are also not evaluated by methods and techniques of forensic medicine. There is a discrepancy between general and particular classifications — in particular, the forensic classification of explosions includes chemical, physical and nuclear explosions, with the latter's place in the composition of physical explosions. There is a violation of the continuity of classification — a typical error is a violation of hierarchy (the location in the same row of bacterial, viral, and antigenic or toxin damaging actions). It is concluded that due to the variability of the properties of damaging factors, we should not be talking about the classification of damaging factors (material bodies or phenomena), but about the classification of damaging properties of material bodies and phenomena.

According to the analysis, a number of factors were identified that affect the increase in the number of mistakes in the development of medical care, as well as leading to a great mistrust to the doctors from the population, to more serious and negative consequences in the form of worsening the course of the disease, the development of complications, and sometimes even death.
Expert assessment of causal relationships with adverse outcomes of infection in clinical practice
Authors: Kalinin Ruslan , Barinov Evgeny
Published: December 2020

The article highlights the issues of establishing cause-and-effect relationships in cases of death and injury to human health in the provision of medical care. The theoretical foundations and practical problems of determining the severity of harm to the patient's health in severe infectious diseases and the development of complications caused by surgical infection are considered. The article presents a brief description of the main provisions of the legislation and methods of forensic medical expert assessment of infectious processes in the patient's body associated with both the disease and the consequences of medical interventions, including improper medical care. It is noted that the fact of occurrence of infectious complications cannot be regarded as harm to the patient's health in the absence of data confirming the presence of a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the admitted defects (shortcomings) of medical care and the adverse outcome of the disease or injury. An example from practice is given and a rare case of a combination of botulism with a brain infarction is analyzed. Simultaneous ischemic and toxic damage to the nervous system caused difficulties both in the clinical diagnosis during the patient's lifetime and in the process of expert evaluation of the medical care after his death. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the procedure for establishing causal relationships and the severity of harm to human health caused during medical care needs to be further improved from the standpoint of legislation and methods of conducting forensic medical examination. Special attention should be paid to fatal cases of nosocomial infection, as well as infectious complications of surgical interventions. Determining the severity of a patient's health injury should be based on an analysis of the causal relationship between deficiencies in medical care and an adverse outcome.

Published: December 2020

Hypertension often results in dangerous conditions that are often not realized and often do not cause complaints. Hypertension is also often referred to as the silent kiler because it is a deadly disease. Even hypertension can lead to other deadly diseases and can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.

The research design used Quasi Experiment with Non Equivalent Control Group design with pre-postest control one group design. The research was conducted in the working area of ​​the Dlanggu Health Center on September 2020. The population in this study were all hypertension sufferers. The sampling technique used simple random sampling of 60 people. The instrument used was a sphygmomanometer, measuring height and weight and an observation sheet. Data analysis used the Ancova test with the assumption of normal and homogeneous data distribution.

Ancova analysis results showed that BMI did not affect systolic blood pressure (F = 0.014, p value 0.907> α), but there was a difference in systolic blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group (F = 105.06, p-value 0,000 <α). The results of the ancova analysis showed that BMI did not affect diastolic blood pressure (F = 0.003, p value 0.953> α), but there was a difference in diastolic blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group (F = 80.899, p-value 0.000 <α). It can be concluded that the difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after being given Touch Therapy is not controlled by the BMI variable. This is because blood pressure is controlled by other influencing factors, including stress and physical activity.

Online Dialogue And Interaction Disruption. A Latin American Government’s Use Of Twitter Affordances To Dissolve Online Criticism
Authors: Davalos Carlos
Published: December 2020

Few academic studies have focused on how Latin American governments operate online. Political communication studies focused on social media interactions have overwhelmingly dedicated efforts to understand how regular citizens interact and behave online. Through the analysis of hashtags and other online strategies that were used during Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s (EPN) term to critique or manifest unconformity regarding part of the government’s performance, this study observes how members of a Latin American democratic regime weaponized a social media platform to dissipate criticism. More specifically, it proposes that the manipulation of social media affordances can debilitate essential democratic attributes like freedom of expression. Using a qualitative approach, consisting of observation, textual analysis, and online ethnography, findings show that some Mexican government’s manipulation of inconvenient Twitter conversations could impact or even disrupt potential offline crises. Another objective of the presented research is to set a baseline for future efforts focused on how Latin American democratic regimes behave and generate digital communication on social media platforms.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MEAN DROPLET SIZE FROM PRESSURE SWIRL ATOMIZER
Authors: Amedorme Sherry
Published: December 2020

This experimental study undertakes the measurements of droplet Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) at different axial distances for the hollow-cone nozzle and different radial distances from the spray centreline using a laser-diffraction-based drop size analyser in order to validate atomization model. The study also investigates the influence of injection pressure and the evaluation of two exit orifice diameters on the Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD). The drop size distributions along the nozzle centreline as well as the radial drop distributions from spray centreline are also evaluated. To enhance the physics of liquid sheet instability and liquid film breakup mechanisms, visualization of liquid film breakup as a function of injection pressure was carried out. The results show that mean droplet size (SMD) increases in the axial distance on the spray centreline but decreases with an increasing injection pressure on the spray centreline. It was observed that larger sized drops occupy the spray periphery compared to those occupying the spray core. For the nozzle exit orifice diameters of 3.5 mm and 1.5 mm, the results show that the small nozzle exhibits smaller SMDs than the bigger nozzle and the break-up lengths are different for the two nozzles. The drop size distributions at radial positions showed an increase in droplet formation through the spray downstream distances and become more uniform. The visualisation of the spray was carried out using high-speed camera and it was noted that a well-defined hollow-cone spray was captured and that the spray angle increases with the injection pressure but reduces with the liquid film length.

Pulau Madura sebagai salah satu wilayah di Indonesia dengan produksi garam yang cukup tinggi, memiliki potensi untuk bisa meningkatkan produksi garamnya, demi menunjang kebutuhan swasembada garam nasional. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan dalam meningkatkan produksi garam di pulau Madura adalah dengan membuat tambak garam lepas pantai. Pengembangan tambak garam lepas pantai tentu menjadi tantangan tersendiri, karena memperhitungkan banyak faktor, salah satunya adalah faktor lingkungan yaitu arus, angin, dan gelombang. Penelitian ini akan membahas tentang barge atau tongkang yang dijadikan sebagai tambak garam lepas pantai. Analisis difokuskan kepada respon gerak yang dihasilkan oleh barge berupa grafik RAO (Response Amplitude Operator). Analisis untuk RAO pada penelitian menghasilkan gerakan barge yang cukup baik. Gerakan vertikal barge pada kondisi muatan penuh menghasilkan nilai terbesar sebagai berikut : heave bernilai 0,863 m/m pada arah pembebanan 90° dan frekuensi 0,2 rad/sec; roll bernilai 5,674 deg/m pada arah 45° dengan frekuensi 0.4 rad/sec; sedangkan untuk pitch bernilai 0,917 deg/m akibat arah pembebanan 180° dan frekuensi 0,2 rad/sec. Gerakan vertikal barge penting untuk diperhatikan karena memberikan pengaruh yang lebih dominan dibandingkan gerakan horizontal (surge, sway, dan yaw) terhadap stabilitas kapal dan kelaiklautan kapal (seaworthiness).

Hyperuricemia is a condition when uric acid levels in the blood are higher than normal. It can lead to several diseases, like gout. The data from the Health Office of Padang City in 2013-2015 show that gout is included in the category of 10 most diseases in Padang City. The typical foods of West Sumatera contain high-protein. This may correlate with the increase in the number of hyperuricemia sufferers in Padang City, West Sumatera. The aim of this study is to know the eating habits of hyperuricemia sufferers in Padang City. This research method was explorative-descriptive using a survey conducted on respondents of hyperuricemia sufferers. The respondents surveyed were thirty-seven people, randomly assigned to the patients of health facilities in Padang City. The results indicated that hyperuricemia sufferers are under and above 40 years old. Animal source foods stated by respondents that can increase uric acid were tunjang, cancang, and beef liver. Meanwhile, plant source foods stated by respondents that can increase uric acid were legumes (melinjo/emping, tauco, dan gado-gado/lotek/pical), leafy greens (cassava leaf, spinach, and kale) and fruits (durian, jack fruit, and banana). Ginger, red ginger, and garlic are believed by the respondents to reduce gout.

Structured Data Transformation Language (SDTL) provides structured, machine actionable representations of data transformation commands found in statistical analysis software.   The Continuous Capture of Metadata for Statistical Data Project (C2Metadata) created SDTL as part of an automated system that captures provenance metadata from data transformation scripts and adds variable derivations to standard metadata files.  SDTL also has potential for auditing scripts and for translating scripts between languages.  SDTL is expressed in a set of JSON schemas, which are machine actionable and easily serialized to other formats.  Statistical software languages have a number of special features that have been carried into SDTL.  We explain how SDTL handles differences among statistical languages and complex operations, such as merging files and reshaping data tables from “wide” to “long”.
What and how do Hungarian children read?.
Authors: Gombos Peter
Published: December 2020

The first representative survey about reading habits in Hungary was conducted in 1964. Among others it gauged the number of people reading and what they read. Since then only four researches were pursued of the kind, thus it was time we carried out a new analysis at the end of 2017. While compiling the questionnaire and analyzing the result I had the possibility to work with data that could be interesting for researchers beyond the borders of Hungary.
In my study I focus on children in the 3–18 age range divided to age groups, and I present the types of books they read. I also examine other components of their behavior related to their reading habits (What they read apart from books, which part of the week/day they dedicate to reading, which genres they prefer etc.).
Talking about digital natives, I pay special heed to the correspondence between reading aptitude and the time they invest in using the internet and their smart phones.
Last but not least I make an attempt to sketch a general picture of Hungarian reading habits (laying special emphasis on the youth), and the changes we can notice compared to the previous surveys.

Las prácticas culturales de vivero tienen como objetivo mejorar la calidad de las plantas e incrementar la supervivencia de las reforestaciones; sin embargo, para cada especie debe examinarse el efecto de las diversas prácticas para definir su factibilidad de implementación. Este estudio analiza el efecto de la poda aérea en la calidad morfológica de plantas de Caesalpinea coriaria para determinar su potencial como práctica cultural. En condiciones de invernadero, se evaluaron tres niveles de poda: 0 %, 25 % y 50 %. El efecto de las podas se examinó en plantas de seis meses por medio de atributos e índices morfológicos de calidad, tales como: altura de la parte aérea, diámetro del tallo, peso seco aéreo, de raíz y total, relación entre peso seco aéreo y raíz, Índice de Esbeltez e Índice de Calidad de Dickson. No hubo un efecto significativo de la poda, excepto en la altura y en el Índice de Esbeltez (p<0.05). Los valores mayores de 37.08 cm de altura y 12.81 de Índice de Esbeltez, correspondieron a plantas sin poda, mientras que los menores se presentaron en las plantas podadas al 25 % (29.06 cm y 10.75, para altura e Índice de Esbeltez, respectivamente). Con base en los resultados, se concluye que la poda aérea no mejora la calidad morfológica de los individuos de C. coriaria, por lo que no es recomendable como práctica cultural para producir plantas de esta especie en vivero.

Published: December 2020

The diagnosis of acute necrotising pancreatitis is a rare event in the Paediatric Emergency Department (ED). We report a case of acute pancreatitis in a paediatric patient, diagnosed in our ED, a tertiary level paediatric hospital. This child presented with vague symptoms of constipation, abdominal pain and back pain, and on clinical examination had a distended abdomen with peritonism. She rapidly deteriorated and needed aggressive fluid resuscitation in the ED for treatment of septic shock. The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) was only considered once elevated amylase levels were apparent. Whilst AP is an important differential diagnosis in a patient who is presenting with acute abdominal symptoms, the diagnosis in children in particular is seldom and thus easily overlooked in the previously healthy child.

Published: December 2020

Trigonometry, a discipline in mathematics, is often misunderstood by mathematics learners. To understand Trigonometry, students should start learning from understanding Mathematical concepts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze students' understanding of concepts in the Trigonometry course. This research is a qualitative descriptive study of the first semester students' conceptual understanding of the mathematics education study program at a university in Malang City. The data collected in this study consisted of the subject's work and transcripts of interviews. The instrument used in this study consisted of 6 questions about understanding the concept of trigonometric material. Analysis of the subject's work results is carried out to find out the right or wrong answers. Meanwhile, the interview transcripts were analyzed by coding to determine the factors that support conceptual understanding. The results showed that students with good conceptual understanding could solve trigonometric problems, while students with less understanding of concepts had difficulty solving trigonometric problems. The results of this study also found aspects that influence (encourage and inhibit) students in understanding the concept of trigonometry. Furthermore, this research is expected to contribute to trigonometry subjects' learning based on indicators of conceptual understanding in the Trigonometry course.
