Published: October 2021

The novel COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) is a disease currently ravaging the world, bringing unprecedented health and economic challenges to several nations. There are presently close to 175,000 reported cases in Nigeria with fatalities numbering over 2,163 persons. The main objective of this paper is to compare the analysis and predictive accuracy between the Random Forest and the Multinomial Bayesian Epidemiological model for a cumulative number of deaths for COVID-19 cases in Nigeria by identifying the underlying factors which may propagate future occurrences. It is worthy to note that the Random Forest algorithm is an ensemble learning approach for classification, regression, and other tasks that works by training a large number of decision trees G(t) while the Multinomial Bayesian algorithm provides an excellent theoretical framework for analyzing experimental data and the highlight of its success relies on its ability to integrate prior knowledge about the parameters of interest as a distribution function p(Ck|d).

Authors: Meirinho Daniel
Published: October 2021

: Este artigo analisa como contra estratégias de contestação representacional feita por artistas visuais contemporâneos negros podem vir a subverter os estereótipos raciais negativos criados e consolidados nas artes visuais. Desenhos, pinturas e fotografias raciais continuam a compor os imaginários e materiais didáticos, currículos escolares no ensino em artes e história aplicados em todo o país. O processo de ressignificação dos imaginários visuais racializados das imagens coloniais de controle amplificam complexidades da cultura afro-brasileira e redefinem narrativas imagéticas até hoje reiteradas. Este trabalho visa identificar como os modos de transcodificação e resistência em produções visuais contemporâneas reinscrevem significações reducionistas a partir de estratégias estéticas decoloniais negras nas artes enquanto práxis transformadora e de questionamentos raciais.

Authors: Sharma Divyanshu , Chaturvedi Prerna
Published: October 2021

Antiretroviral therapy [ART] has been developed remarkably within last three decades, since the first NRTI (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor) developed. For the mostly patients the challenge of complete and sustain suppression of viral has been clarify, since the triple therapy arrived. Convenient pill burden and tolerability are the main limiting factor for enhancing the long term benefit of ART. ABACAVIR (ABA) and LAMIVUDINE (LAM) are synthetic nucleotide analog (SNA) that showing a synergistic and potent inhibitory effect on human immunodeficiency virus-I (HIV-I), causative agent of AIDS. ABA and LAM belongs to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) class. As per new therapeutic strategy these two antiretroviral (ARV) drugs are required for the treatment of AIDS. When ARV regimens changed due to lack to virologic response ABA should be avoided. ABA is getting converted in to the active metabolite (carbovir triphosphate) which is an deoxyguanosine-5’ triphosphate analog by intracellular enzymes. LAM gets converted in its active 5’-triphosphate metabolite through phosphorylation. Chemically, ABA is (1S, cis)-4-[2-amino-6-(cyclopropyl amino)-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol sulphate and LAM is (2R, cis)-4-amino-1-(2-hydroxymethyl-1, 3-oxathiolan-5-yl)-(1H)-pyrimidin-2-one. Fig. 1 and 2 show ABA and LAM’s structure respectively.

Authors: Gupta Alok , Singh Pritpal , Singh Gurdeep , Sekhon Bhallan Singh , Sodhi Gurjinder Pal Singh
Published: October 2021

Rice residue management (RRM) has been the key component of systems’ sustainability. The paper reports the effect of different RRM and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) establishment methods on productivity and yield contributing attributes through farmer participatory mode in south-western Punjab. Different RRM technologies including rice residue removal, residue incorporation and residue retention on soil as surface mulch were evaluated. Wheat grain yield was significantly (p<0.05) higher with happy seeder method of wheat establishment following chopping of loose rice stubble, which acts as surface mulch, compared with the other RRM technologies. Wheat grain yield in other RRM technologies viz. rice residue incorporation and removal did not differ significantly. The yield contributing attributes viz. plant height, number of effective tillers m-1 row length, 1000-grain weight, ear length and the number of grains ear-1 were significantly higher in happy seeder method of wheat establishment. The weed count (Phalaris minor) was significantly lower than the other compared methods of RRM. The correlation matrix exhibited a linear positive relationship between the grain yield and plant height (r=0.951*; p<0.05), ear length (r=0.941*), 1000-grain weight (r=0.853*) and number of grains ear-1 (r=0.771*). All economic indices viz. average net (Rs. 74, 840/- ha-1), gross returns (Rs. 1,00,620/- ha-1) and benefit-cost (B:C; 3.9) ratio were significantly enhanced because of low cost of cultivation (Rs. 25,780/- ha-1) under happy seeder method of wheat establishment.

Authors: Ratre Dileshwari , Ojha S. N. , Sharma Arpita , V Ramasubramanian , Yadav Rajpal
Published: October 2021

The ratio of fish farmers to fisheries extension professionals was 1:1000 which is too low. Para-extension functionaries can fill up this gap in the fisheries sector to improve the production and productivity of fishers. The opinion leaders from the local fish farmers community will help identify fish farmers who can further transfer the knowledge concerning how to fish to others through their diffusion network. This study was undertaken to analyze gender roles in fish farming and their relation with opinion leaders. It was observed that 90% of male fish farmers had control of fisheries/family resources, and 97 per cent of fish farmers were found to have contact with male opinion leaders. At the same time, 33% of female fish farmers were contacted by shelf help groups and local progressive farmers. The study shows that the opinion leaders influenced the fish farmers’ diffusion network and their knowledge about how to fish. To involve women in the fisheries sector, empower women, there is also a need to select opinion leaders preferred by women fish farmers.

The study was aimed to assess the adoption status of home practices and to identify the various factors affecting adoption and non-adoption of practices disseminated through rural awareness work experience programme. The study was conducted in four villages of Ludhiana district of Punjab state, where RAWE programme was conducted during the year 2013-14 to 2016-17. A total of 120 respondents constituted the sample of the study. Data were collected through a well- structured and pre tested interview schedule. Highest adoption status was achieved by the practices under ‘Food and Nutrition’ followed by practices under ‘Human Development’ discipline. Various factors affecting adoption of different practices as reported by the respondents were personal interest, saves resources and provides satisfaction. Major factors affecting non-adoption of practices were lack of interest, lack of resources, non-availability of raw material and inadequate skill retention. Majority of the respondents suggested that practices imparted under RAWE programme should be cost effective, for better adoption. Respondents also suggested that to increase adoption rate of home science practices, duration of RAWE should be increased, so that respondents can get sufficient time to learn new practices.
Green Marketing: An Analysis of Consumer’s Perception and Willingness to Pay
Authors: Vivek M. C. , Sahana and S.
Published: October 2021

There has been a gush in the usage of the term ‘Green’, since people worldwide is becoming more concerned about their environment. Green marketing is an emerging strategy which encompasses the marketing of the products that are assumed to be environmentally safe. Rising environmental concern has persuaded consumers and manufacturers towards green marketing. This paper attempts to study the environmental orientation of the young Indian consumer and their perception about green marketing. Primary data collected from 100 consumers with the help of an online questionnaire was used for the study. The results revealed that consumers were having a high orientation towards the environment and the majority preferred green products over conventional products. More than half of the respondent consumers were willing to pay an additional 2-5 per cent of their actual price in case of green products. Consumers need to be made more aware about the issues that the product attempts to address. Green marketing should not be thought of as another approach for making profit. Rather it should be trailed with vigour, because of its ecological and social dimension.

Authors: Pokharel Saroj , Tharu Dipak , Pandey Yagya Murti
Published: October 2021

The study aims to investigate the role of livelihood diversification and social capital for the households’ movement, and also to explore the identity and bond of social capital and livelihood diversification to achieve an improved lifestyle. Human relations significantly create a network society, impalpable resource of community, shared values and trust which we draw upon in our daily lives. Livelihood diversification is a community-practised strategy for managing economic and income diversity in poverty reduction. It has highly emphasized income and well-being to diversify livelihood. It also turns the likely norms and networks with the households from exploiting new economic opportunities even in the future. This study responds to why people are migrating from the surrounding and the long distance of Kathmandu, and largely dependent on direct cash incomes from informal activities. It used qualitative approaches such as ethnography, case studies, participant observation, etc. to study the relationship between households and social capital level and livelihood diversification. Hence, the effects of social capital and livelihood diversification were found protecting households’ income. The major findings also show the social supportive network index which has significant effects on the households’ ability to learn a new livelihood. Income generations similarly affect the household capacity to secure a home and the socio-economic condition of households. This study can be advantageous for making both local and urban policy to diversify household livelihoods and social capital as well as applicable for new researchers in social sciences. Most importantly, it helps readers perceive new ways of promoting livelihood diversification and social capital and as a whole social advancement in Central Nepal.

Job insecurity scale by Francis & Barling. (2005), Work engagement by Schaufeli et al. (2006) and Job performance scale by Bright (2007) were used to collect data. Findings indicated the significant negative impact of job insecurity on job performance and work engagement. Furthermore, mediation Analysis through hierarchical regression analysis revealed that work engagement shows significant mediating role with job performance and job insecurity. No significant difference was shown with demographic variables such as gender, age, and years of work experience. Different strategies for the prevention of job insecurity must be focused on to increase job performance.
Sustainable Management of Springs for Water Security in Parts of the Sikkim Himalaya Region – An Overview
Authors: Gayen Anadi
Published: October 2021

Springs plays a significant role in the water security of hilly people living in the Sikkim Himalayan region. Springs in the hilly regions of Sikkim contributes a maximum in the water safety, especially in the rural households. A detailed understanding about spring geology and management issues are of pre-requisite in the perspective of Sikkim for their maintenance, monitoring and management. The principal task is retaining the original unpolluted conditions of the springs and their sustainability. Geologically, the varieties of gravity springs are predominant along with Depression Spring and Fracture Spring. Structurally vulnerable plains, especially joints, fractures, and small-scale faults are true avenues for the flow path of spring water. Springs in Himalaya regions are originating from the unconfined aquifers. The yield potential of the springs are adversely affected by the factors like climatic aberration resulting in the form of variations in the rainfall intensities and tectonic activities. Chemical quality of spring water is very much within the acceptable limit of the prescribed standard, whilst away from the main city area. Springshed development and management through rainwater conservation is of essential to provide sustainable water security to the population in Sikkim.
Antecedentes y aportaciones en las utopías materializadas de Le Corbusier en Lège y Pessac
Authors: Serra Soriano Bartolomé , Díaz Segura Alfonso
Published: October 2021

De uno de los textos más influyentes en la historia de la arquitectura moderna (Vers une architecture, 1923) surgió una notable propuesta sobre industrialización que, más allá del resultado, permitió llevar a la práctica varios de los conceptos teóricos que agitaban la mente y los trazos del maestro suizo Le Corbusier. Las actuaciones en Lège y Pessac surgieron como combinación de la lectura de aquel texto y de la voluntad por construir aquellos ideales proclamados. Para investigar este encargo de Henri Frugès y sus consecuencias, es necesario recorrer las razones y los hechos previos que marcaron la trayectoria hacia su materialización.

Los argumentos que vamos a implicar: 1) Como el espacio poético de Bachelard se relaciona con lo cotidiano, y 2) como la arquitectura de Le Corbusier es un ejemplo concreto de una contribución estética y filosófica. Al mismo tiempo, veremos cómo el hombre construye el espacio y, en consecuencia, el antropocentrismo de Le Corbusier, en los ejemplos del Couvent de Sainte-Marie La Tourette y del Cabanon, está representado por una arquitectura aparentemente desnuda que sólo se revela cuando se habita.

Modelado dinámico y de estado estacionario para la conexión modular entrada serie - salida serie de convertidores con puentes duales activos
Authors: Rodríguez F. , Garrido D. , Núñez R. , Oggier G. , García G.
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo presenta el modelado de un convertidor modular CC-CC basado en la conexión entrada serie - salida serie de dos celdas con convertidores con puentes duales activos. Esta configuración resulta interesante en aplicaciones en las cuales ambos puertos del convertidor deben soportar tensiones elevadas. A partir del análisis de las formas de onda de las principales variables eléctricas de cada una de las celdas, se obtienen las ecuaciones promediadas que permiten describir la dinámica del convertidor ante cambios significativos en las entradas de control del convertidor. El modelo promediado es linealizado entorno a un punto de funcionamiento del convertidor, obteniéndose dos sistemas de ecuaciones que permiten analizar la influencia de los parámetros constructivos de las celdas en el comportamiento estático y dinámico del convertidor. Los resultados obtenidos permiten validar en el dominio temporal los modelos obtenidos, tanto en régimen permanente como transitorio, en todo el rango de transferencia de potencia del convertidor.
Sintonía de controladores PID: un enfoque analítico basado en el moldeo de la función de sensibilidad
Authors: Vilanova R. , Alcántara S. , Pedret C.
Published: October 2021

El controlador PID es la opción más común en el ámbito de las aplicaciones de control, siendo la opción predominante en el control de procesos industriales. Entre los métodos analíticos más usuales utilizados para su diseño, el Control por Modelo Interno (IMC) ha ganado una notable aceptación industrial debido a su naturaleza robusta y buenas respuestas ante cambios de consigna. Sin embargo, la aplicación tradicional del IMC da como resultado un bajo rendimiento para el rechazo de perturbaciones en carga para plantas integradoras y/o con largas constantes de tiempo. Este trabajo presenta un método de diseño, basado en IMC, que evita esta deficiencia y está diseñado para funcionar bien en plantas de complejidad moderada para las cuales, por otro lado, el ajuste analítico de un controlador PID es plausible. Por simplicidad, el diseño solo se centra en la función de sensibilidad en lazo cerrado. El enfoque proporciona un ajuste basado en modelo en términos de los compromisos robustez/rendimiento y de servo/regulación. Aunque comúnmente se considera el compromiso robustez/rendimiento, no es tan común tener en cuenta también, por ejemplo, el conflicto entre las perturbaciones de entrada y salida, también conocido como el compromiso servo/regulación. Con el objetivo de proporcionar un enfoque de ajuste unificado, se muestra como la metodología propuesta permite tratar diferentes dinámicas de proceso de manera unificada.
Teachers as Instructional Designers: Unearthing the Essence of the Primary School Curriculum for Delivery within the Remote Learning Classroom
Authors: Gonzalez Angela , Poole Michael
Published: October 2021

Moving our elementary curriculum to emergency remote instruction presented numerous challenges to our elementary school, as teachers recognized that elementary-age children could not be expected to spend the amount of time on computer screens that they had spent in face-to-face classrooms. Working with our colleagues, we adopted a “less is more” approach, using inquiry processes to make systematic and informed choices as to which state standards would be covered. We acted as instructional designers to develop coherent learning units for remote instruction, using inquiry processes to study the effectiveness of our lessons and adjust instruction accordingly. This work could only transpire because we viewed ourselves (and were viewed by our administration) as professionals, rather than technicians. At, P. K. Yonge, we were empowered to critically examine our curriculum, to modify and adjust our lessons in response to the crisis, and to design innovative ways to deliver our curriculum. Conceptualizing teachers’ work as professional was foundational to our ability to be effective during the pandemic.
People of the 21st century: Where we came from – Who we are –
Where we are going
Authors: K. Oleś Piotr , Bartnicka-Michalska Aneta
Published: October 2021

The current culture emphasizes effectiveness and happiness. In this article, we discuss whether it is possible to function optimally in the professional sphere without existential reflection. As we argue, the need for a meaning of life and giving sense to our activity is fundamental. Universal human needs, optimal functioning models, and developmental patterns throughout life support our perspective. The challenges and problems of midlife transition have a common denominator – personalized awareness of life’s finiteness and fear of death. During midlife, people need philosophical reflection on values basic for the meaning of life. Referring to Søren Kierkegaard, culture promotes fixation on the aesthetic stage, while personality development leads to the ethical and religious stage. It means profound transformation, striving for internal integration, and stabilizing the person’s functioning on higher values. Kierkegaard’s philosophical anthropology and existential psychology promote the pattern of conscious, intentional life, and personal growth.

Authors: C. H. Kuok Angus , K. I. Chio David , C. H. Pun Alan
Published: October 2021

Introduction

This study aimed to investigate elite athletes’ mental well-being, and to ascertain whether the personal factor resilience and the social factor social support can play a role in promoting mental well-being and life satisfaction. In addition, this is one of the first studies to investigate well-being among elite athletes who are from a region belonging to an unrecognised National Olympic Committee and are not eligible to join the Olympic Games.

Material and methods

Eighty-four full-time elite athletes (37 males, 47 females) with mean age of 22.36 years old participated in this quantitative research study. Formal letters describing the purpose and organiser of the study were sent to the sport entities in Macao asking their permission for the researchers to contact the elite athletes to participate in this study. After gaining the permission, the elite athletes belonging to these entities were approached individually, to inform them of the purpose of the study and receive their consent.

Results

Regression revealed that emotional support and adaptability of resilience were strong positive predictors of mental well-being. Additionally, mental well-being was found to be a strong positive predictor of life satisfaction. The results reflected that in elite athletes possessing high adaptability and receiving more emotional support could help to maintain their mental well-being.

Conclusions

Implications (based on the findings) are discussed in order to provide insights for policy makers or coaches how to promote elite athletes’ mental well-being.

Introdução: O feijão caupi, Vigna unguiculata (Fabaceae), possui um extraordinário papel na alimentação da população das Regiões Norte e Nordeste do país. Porém essa cultura ainda é prejudicada pela perda de 10% da produção devido ao ataque de insetos-pragas e uso de defensivos químicos sintéticos. Objetivo: Verificar o efeito do óleo de pequi Caryocar brasiliense como defensivo natural sobre o Callosobruchus maculatus em feijão armazenado. Material e métodos: Para o experimento utilizou-se recipientes plásticos transparentes, pipeta conta gotas e balança doméstica, todos de baixo custo e acessível comercialmente. No presente trabalho o efeito do óleo de pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) como defensivo natural, foi estudado sobre o caruncho (Callosobruchus maculatus) em feijão-caupi ambos adquiridos na cidade de Princesa Izabel, sertão da Paraíba. A metodologia é simples e pode ser reproduzida em ambiente doméstico, por não haver a necessidade do uso de substâncias tóxicas, sendo o óleo de pequi utilizado na culinária e na medicina alternativa. Para os testes inseticidas, 20g de feijão-caupi foram acondicionados em recipiente plástico de 250 mL com tampa perfurada, para permitir as trocas gasosas com o exterior, em seguida o óleo de pequi foi adicionado aos grãos por meio de uma pipeta conta gotas. Após agitação manual durante 1 min, os grãos foram infestados com 10 insetos de C. maculatus com 0-72 horas de emergência.

Clustering extends energy resources, improves scalability and preserves communication bandwidth of the network. Clustering is either categorized as static and dynamic or as equal and unequal. Hot-spots issue needs a high overhead and is prone to connectivity problems in the wireless sensor network and this can be only possible because of unequal clustering. In this paper a zone divisional method based on fuzzy logic has been proposed. This method uses a fuzzy logic to form clusters and allot nodes to them for the reduction of energy consumption, and extends the age of the sensor network. The simulation and results section shows that the outperformance of the proposed algorithm, where the (EAUCF) energy-aware unequal clustering fuzzy, (LEACH) lowenergy adaptive clustering hierarchy, (EAMMH) energy-aware multi-hop multi-path hierarchical, and (TTDFP) two-tier distributed fuzzy logic-based protocol for efficient data aggregation in multi-hop wireless sensor networks algorithms. The proposed algorithm has better results in terms of energy consumption minimization, load balancing, and prolongation of the network lifetime.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: The importance of multidisciplinary health teams in indigenous areas can be understood as a major advance in the actions of public health, maintained by the Ministry of Health, mainly after the implementation of the Auroca Law to SUS. Objective: To address the importance of multidisciplinary teams in indigenous health. Methodology: This is a descriptive method of using revision methods. Literature Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS). FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: There has been great progress in the care provided by SUS to indigenous communities in recent years. But the biggest problem faced by the health teams is the lack of equipment needed to carry out adequate treatment, shortage of human resources, in addition to the demographic issue, where many villages are difficult to access for health teams.
PERFORMANCE OF THE NURSING TEAM IN THE HUMANIZATION OF NORMAL DELIVERY

Published: October 2021

Historically, birth was considered a natural event, respected until the sixteenth century as an exclusively female movement. From the moment that the delivery began to happen inside the hospital with the participation of doctors in the process of the same, the woman stopped being the most important person and active of that event. Therefore, in order to change in this scenario, the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health have been guiding and implementing behaviors that should be stimulated during childbirth, such as the presence of a companion, the supply of fluids, the use of non-invasive techniques for relief of pain and freedom of choice of birth position, among others. The study aims to verify in the literature the systematization of knowledge about the awareness of the benefits of normal delivery, pointing out the behaviors performed that favor the woman's role. This is a literature review, with descriptive and explanatory character, in the databases Scientific Electronic Library (ScIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS); And the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED, from 2008 to 2019), using the following descriptors: normal delivery, humanization, humanization in normal birth, women's role, and the result was three categories: The synthesis of the articles allowed us to understand that there are already some changes in the care of women during labor, but that there is still a lack of knowledge about the role of women in the labor market. It is concluded that in order for women to take part in labor and delivery, humanization becomes necessary, which is evidenced by the need to improve access and quality of delivery services.

Published: October 2021

Pandemic, although devastating in some aspects, is spreading rapidly as is technological growth. In times of social isolation, so much has never been learned through digital platforms, jobs are reinvented at unparalleled speed. Patients are treated in telehealth, a technology that stands out at the moment, a useful tool for initial or follow-up care. Real-time monitoring with GPS, Google platforms, wearable technologies, a range of options still without legislation and correct coverage. Reflecting on your personal and professional life, the Coronavirus, for sure, will divide our existence into before and after, and what was “normal” before, will remain unchanged afterwards? Reflections on technology, management and personal development.

Published: October 2021

The development of a transit radio telescope at the hydrogen line frequency of 1420 MHz is described. The telescope antenna uses a 5 m diameter parabolic reflector with an estimated efficiency of 50 % and an F/D ratio of 0.5. The gain of the antenna at 1420 MHz (wavelength of 21.1 cm) is approximately 35 dB with a beamwidth of approximately 3°. The antenna is mounted on a concrete beam at the first floor level, running between two 5 floor tower blocks on the Steve Biko campus of the Durban University of Technology. The majority of the components of the radio telescope antenna and receiver were designed and manufactured at the Durban University of Technology by students of the Departments of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering. The measured sensitivity of the receiver is approximately -94 dBm with a bandwidth of approximately 80 MHz. Radio sources successfully detected by the radio telescope include the Sun, the Moon, Sagittarius A, Centaurus A and Vela X.
Design and implementation of an intelligent vision and sorting system
Authors:   , Li Zhi
Published: October 2021

This research focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent machine vision and sorting system that can be used to sort objects in an industrial environment. Machine vision systems used for sorting are either geometry driven or are based on the textural components of an object’s image. The vision system proposed in this research is based on the textural analysis of pixel content and uses an artificial neural network to perform the recognition task. The neural network has been chosen over other methods such as fuzzy logic and support vector machines because of its relative simplicity. A Bluetooth communication link facilitates the communication between the main computer housing the intelligent recognition system and the remote robot control computer located in a plant environment. Digital images of the workpiece are first compressed before the feature vectors are extracted using principal component analysis. The compressed data containing the feature vectors is transmitted via the Bluetooth channel to the remote control computer for recognition by the neural network. The network performs the recognition function and transmits a control signal to the robot control computer which guides the robot arm to place the object in an allocated position. The performance of the proposed intelligent vision and sorting system is tested under different conditions and the most attractive aspect of the design is its simplicity. The ability of the system to remain relatively immune to noise, its capacity to generalize and its fault tolerance when faced with missing data made the neural network an attractive option over fuzzy logic and support vector machines.
