Published: June 2023

Prevalence and causes of low vision and blind have been studied nationally and globally. However, similar studies have not been conducted locally in Sarawak. This study aims to identify the prevalence and causesof low vision and blind patients of different gender, age, and race in the Ophthalmology Department, Miri Hospital, Sarawak, for five years from 2016 to 2020. This study is a retrospective observational study. A total of 17,868 patients’ clinical records were screened. The clinical records with fulfilled inclusion criteria will be extracted and reviewed. In this study, 269 (1.50%) patients were diagnosed with irreversible visual impairments. The prevalence of low vision and blindness was 0.78% and 0.72%, respectively. Most subjects (187, 69.5%) were more than 50 years old. Furthermore, 151 (56.13%) subjects were male, while 118 (43.87%) were female. Race Iban has a higher prevalence of low vision and blind (88, 32,7%), followedby Chinese (81, 30.1%), Malay (53, 19.7%), and other local natives (17, 5%). The four leading causes of low vision and blind were diabetic retinopathy (68, 25.3%), glaucoma (62, 23.0%), retinitis pigmentosa (26, 9.7%),and age-related macular degeneration (17, 6.3%). Low vision and blind due to diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration could be avoided if eye health screening is conducted as early as age 40. For patients diagnosed with low vision and blind, integrated low vision and blind rehabilitation training should be accessible in all public healthcare systems. For the stakeholder, enforcing low vision and blind registry, fortifying low vision rehabilitation services, and precise mechanism of welfare intervention are the measures for more holistic low vision and blind management.

Published: June 2023

Software project management includes a substantial area for estimating software maintenance effort. Estimation of software maintenance effort improves the overall performance and efficiency of software. The Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) and other effort estimation models are mentioned in literature but are inappropriate for Python programming language. This research aimed to modify the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO II) by considering a range of Python maintenance effort influencing factors to get estimations and incorporated size and complexity metrics to estimate maintenance effort. A within-subjects experimental design was adopted and an experiment questionnaire was administered to forty subjects aiming to rate the maintainability of twenty Python programs. Data collected from the experiment questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Metric values were collected using a developed metric tool. The subject ratings on software maintainability were correlated with the developed model’s maintenance effort, a strong correlation of 0.610 was reported meaning that the model is valid.
THE EFFECT OF TIME PRESSURE DURING COVID19 ON SOFTWARE QUALITY
Authors: Hassan Asmaa , Alrwais Omer
Published: June 2023

Background: as technology develops, governments, organizations, companies, and individuals develop technical solutions for global problems or crises. Currently, the entire world is experiencing the covid-19 pandemic. During this crisis, efforts have been made to find a technical solution to face or even mitigate the crisis. The development of technological solutions under time pressure is one issue being explored by many researchers. We seek to determine the impact of time pressure on the quality of the developed software or applications, especially in the case of the covid-19 crisis in Saudi Arabia. Method: this research uses interviewing, survey, and analysis of user comments and ratings for the application (the application was developed under time pressure in the covid-19 crisis) in the app store. Results: the research results demonstrated that software quality in this study was positively affected by time pressure. The impact of time pressure on software quality likely depends on a few factors, such as the level of time pressure, the experience of the developers, and the type of software being developed. Conclusions: the development teams can perform well under time pressure. Similarly, the challenge–hindrance framework maintains that time pressure may be a positive source of pressure (challenge) and translate into good stress or a negative source of pressure (hindrance) that corresponds to bad stress. In other words, outcomes derived under time pressure can be positive and negative; pressure is positive when it increases efficiency and negative when it reduces quality. Project managers can maintain quality while working under time pressures. To put it in another way, under optimal pressure, software development teams can complete projects in less time, with less effort, and with good quality. Since the ABC application was developed to improve people’s health and restore normalcy after quarantine, the developers prioritized its development as a mission of national interest. We concluded that the type of time pressure affects app quality, either negatively or positively.

One of the public health concerns is drug non-adherence. The main cause of poor hypertension control is noncompliance with antihypertensive medications. The elements that drive compliance behavior are numerous and complicated, with social support being one of them. Family support is critical in health care since it is through family support that a healthy family can be achieved. Family members can help by providing information about their sickness or reminding them to take their medications. The goal of this research was to identify the relationship between family support and medication adherence in hypertensive patients at Muara Wis Health Center, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, Province East Borneo. This study is descriptive correlational and uses a cross-sectional method, which involves measuring or observing at the same time and the same location.  The participants in this study were 100 hypertensive patients of Muara Wis Health Center. The data in this study were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation. Based on the MMAS (Morisky Medication Adherence Scale) questionnaire, medication adherence in hypertensive patients at the Muara Wis Health Center had 52 percent low adherence, 29 percent moderate adherence, and 19 percent high adherence. According to pill count, low adherence patients was 51 percent, moderate adherence was 29 percent, and high adherence was 20 percent. Patients with hypertension who had poor family support were 54 percent, those who received moderate family support were 26 percent, and those who received strong family support were 20 percent. Hence, there is a significant relationship between family support and medication adherence in hypertensive patients of Muara Wis Health Center.

Public perceptions for the acceptability of recycled wastewater usage in households
Authors:   , Gul Samiya
Published: June 2023

South Africa is a water-stressed country as there is an imbalance between the demand and the supply of potable water. Wastewater reuse is one of the several vital strategies to find the delicate balance between water supply and demand. Reclaimed wastewater not only protects the release of pollutants into the environment but it adds to the supply of potable and non-potable water. However, reclaimed wastewater faces obstacles in sustainable implementation. Many studies have been conducted so far to identify the underlying factors behind the acceptability of wastewater reuse. Public acceptance is the primary threat to the acceptability of these programs or schemes. A noticeable resistance from the communities of different countries has been identified. Given these issues, the objectives of the present study were to evaluate socio-demographic variables including; gender, age, education, religion, marital status and income level on the willingness to use and participate in a reuse plan, to assess the role of knowledge on public acceptance of the recycled water, to identify and study the problems faced by the public towards the acceptability of recycled wastewater usage and to develop a framework to understand the behaviour of the people towards the reuse of wastewater. The study adapted well-structured questionnaires to collect the data. Proportionate random sampling was used with a sample size of 298 responses. The data were analysed through MS Excel, SPSS v 22.0 and AMOS v 24.0 to yield descriptive and inferential statistics. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to provide estimates and test the hypothesised relationships. The study identifies the critical antecedents of the behaviour of wastewater reuse, namely, trust, past experience, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, attitude and intention and tests the relationships using SEM. It further suggests that a significant relationship exists between the variables and the acceptability of wastewater reuse. The other findings were that flushing toilets are mostly accepted (90%), followed by watering gardens (86%), washing clothes (68%) and washing dishes (60%). The acceptance for favourable applications among participants from all religions is highest for toilet flushing, followed by watering gardens, washing clothes, washing dishes, growing food crops, swimming, and at last drinking. Financial incentives and reduced monthly costs on the recycled water were found to help accept the wastewater reuse. The study presents a broad and integrated framework of behaviour towards the acceptability of wastewater. Therefore, the study is an essential contribution toward the acceptability of wastewater reuse, and water stakeholders may use the study's implications to increase public acceptance and alleviate challenges for water reuse. The study recommends that the public should be provided with the education and information on recycling wastewater reuse benefits and risks to achieve both environmental protection and sustainable development.
Doktrin Inerrancy dan Identitas Kaum Injili di Indonesia: Sebuah Kritik Konstruktif
Authors: Trihandarkha Daniel
Published: June 2023

Inerrancy doctrine appeared at the late 19th century in America as an answer to the emergence of critical and literature analysist movement from Europe, especially from Germany. The challenge toward the authority of the bible had emerged since the early church father, especially toward the historical aspect of the book of Genesis. It has been a straightforward notion to link doctrine of inerrancy with the evangelical Christians. The identity of being Evangelical with inerrancy doctrine seems inseparable, ever since. However, the rapid shift in theology, politics, and culture, firstly in the West, and, secondly, around the world demands the identity and its doctrinal statement to be redefined. Theological debates and the implication toward Indonesian churches had not been impactful significantly toward Christians in non-ordained level. Nevertheless, in academic sphere the distinction between ecumenical and evangelical Christians has emerged and yet is limited in writing discourse.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: This paper examines the determinants of long-term economic growth and sustainable development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a chosen one-resource economy that relies on massive oil production. Methodology is based on the econometric methods of multiple regression analysis and the multicollinearity test for the period from 2010 to 2020. The research was conducted on the basis of a model of 13 variables, where the dependent variable is the annual rate of GDP, and the independent variables are inflation, budget deficit, oil exports, imports, unemployment rate, foreign direct investment, labour productivity, public debt, labour force, GDP per capita, HDI index, total rent of natural resources and adjusted net savings. Results indicate a strong connection between gross domestic product and the selected variables and the existence of factors that are of strategic importance for the growth of the Saudi economy, but on the other hand, the negative effects of certain factors on sustainable development. Conclusion: Based on the results, it is suggested that investment in human capital is an urgent step to achieve long-term sustainability and reduce reliance on natural resource operations in the future.

Background: Consumers have increasingly high demands in terms of taste, color and texture; they expect foods to be safe, healthy and nutritious, more appealing in color, texture and taste, and ready-to-use products such as sauces. Aim: The aim of this study was to formulate sauces with tomato (TP) and garlic (GP) powders resulted from conventional and microwave dryings. Material and Methods: TP was used at 0, 5, 10 and 15% in the formulation of tomato sauce and GP at 0, 5, and 20% in the formulation of garlic sauce. For studying the effects of these powders on quality of sauces, some properties such as pH, Brix, apparent viscosity, mesophilic aerobic total flora (MATF), total coliforms,mold and yeast colony count and sensory evaluation were determined. Results: The results showed that the increase in the powders proportions increased pH from 5.32 to 5.72 for garlic sauces but decreased it from 5.42 to 5.04 for tomato sauces. However, the Brix values increased from 12.8 (5% tomato sauce) to 19.6% (15% tomato sauce), and from 15.5 (5% garlic sauce) to 18.8% (20% garlic sauce).On the other hand, it caused decrease in apparent viscosity from 7 to 3.5 cm for tomato sauces and from 5to 2.5 cm for garlic sauces. Similarly, MATF, mold and yeast colony count in sauce samples were diminished. Conclusion: The use of TP at 5% (estimated by 60% of the experts) is recommended for the formulation of the tomato sauce whereas for the garlic sauces, the two formulations used were equally appreciated by 100% of the experts.
Keywords: Tomato sauce, garlic sauce, physicochemical analysis, microbiological analysis, sensory analysis.

Constructing Nazis on Political Demand: Agenda-Setting and Framing in Russian State-Controlled TV Coverage of the Euromaidan, Annexation of Crimea and the War in Donbas
Authors: Shestopalova Alona
Published: June 2023

The central role of mass communication in the construction of crises, threats and enemies was acknowledged decades ago. In those cases when media reporting about crises, threats and enemies is studied, it is predominately done based on the media content from Western liberal democracies. The article broadens the usual framework of research on this topic by empirically studying the securitisation and enmification campaign performed by TV channels of an autocracy through the lens of agenda-setting and framing theories. In other words, this article helps understand how the Russian regime securitises political issues and constructs enemies. In particular, eight weekly news programmes by Russian state-controlled Channel One Russia and RT (former Russia Today) covering the period of the Euromaidan, Annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas are studied in order to address the question of how the channels’ strategies of setting their agendas and framing the covered events contributed to the construction of a Nazi enemy that has to be fought.

Published: June 2023

Infectious diseases produced by bacteria are an urgent healthcare concern worldwide. Several infections in humans are caused by bacterial agents such as Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, and Staphylococcus aureus. The current development of resistance to antibiotics and accompanying toxicity issues is causing a rise in studies into the antibacterial role of plants against resistant strains due to relative effectiveness and safety. The current work was done to check the antibacterial activity of Azadirachta indica leaves (Neem) along with the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Methanol and Acetone extracts of Neem leaves were tested against Klebsiella oxytoca and Staphylococcus aureus, both of which are resistant to antibiotics. Silver nanoparticle synthesized in methanol was very effective against Klebsiella oxytoca (13.5mm).
Efficiency of food waste as fuel source in Microbial Fuel Cell: A review
Authors: Kaushik Alka , Jadhav S.K.
Published: June 2023

This review article discussed about the food waste as a source of bioelectrical energy. Every year the global energy demand increases. While petroleum products currently supply much of this demand, the increasing difficulty of sustained supply and the associated problems of pollution and global warming creates unbalanced energy management and require power sources that are able to sustain for longer periods. Renewable energy generation and waste disposal are two key challenges for the sustainability of future societies. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as an alternative renewable technology can run in solid phase and capture bioelectricity from food waste. Food waste being readily available is found to be the potential source for bioelectricity production by optimizing several important factors are optimized, such as the type, number and quality of electrodes, type and amount of substrate, microorganism community, system configuration, and different parameters which increases the amount of electricity generated. Solid microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) were reported to produce relatively small amounts of energy compared with other substrates, but SMFCs are still promising to achieve energy requirement of the future. So this review demonstrates the works of different scientist who potentially produced bioelectricity and looking further for improvements.
Review on double haploid in rice plant (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Ingle P. B. , Rokade S. S. , Raut R.V.
Published: June 2023

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important and indigenous crop in India. Rice is a plant belonging to the family of grasses, Gramineae (Poaceae). It is a major food crop of the world and forms the staple diet of about half of the world's population. Rice is repeatedly mentioned in ancient Indian texts, including the Yajur Veda. The area under cultivation of rice in India is 45416 thousand hectare, Total production of Rice during 2020-21 is estimated at record 122.27 million tonnes. Two major Asian cultivated varieties of rice have been historically recognized as japonica and indica subspecies. Japonica rice is sticky and indica rice is non sticky. Obtaining high quality homozygous pure lines by classical breeding methods is very time consuming and labour intensive. Due to uncontrolled pollination, the results are hard to obtain through this method. In-vitro haploid production offers an excellent solution for development of high quality homozygous pure lines in lesser time. Indica rice is mainly cultivated in tropical and subtropical environments at lower latitudes or altitudes, whereas japonica rice is grown mainly in more temperate environments at higher latitudes or altitudes. Anther culture is easy in japonica rice, but its application in Indica rice is limited as it is difficult to breed through anther culture. Indica cultivars of rice showed low anther culturability (1.2% callus induction) whereas Japonica cultivars had 20-fold higher (28.1%) anther culturability.
An aphid transmitted banana bunchy top disease of banana and its detection: A Review
Authors: Adil Smriti , Quraishi Afaque
Published: June 2023

One of the most significant horticultural crops in the world, the banana is an edible fruit (technically a berry) produced by a variety of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. It is grown in about 120 different countries around the world. Particularly, virus intensification between subsequent plantings via contaminated planting material limits the banana crop yield. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) control is challenging because it spreads vegetatively (through suckers or in vitro plantlets) and by an aphid Pentalonia nigronervosa Coquerel, thus increasing the virus potential for dispersal within the fields. To propagate plants, exchange germplasm, breed better genotypes, and distribute them are challenging to use planting material that has been virus affected. Diagnosis of the BBTV, relies essentially only upon the symptom’s recognition of infection and, seldom, with additional affirmation by aphid transmission. At present, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based and non-PCR techniques are available for BBTV detection. Implementation of these diagnostic tools and procedure facilitates the identification of healthy ones of the germplasm that can be used in propagation systems.

The efficiency of turmeric fractions, such as petroleum ether, chloroform, benzene, methanol and aqueous were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on clinical and standard strains of pathogenic bacteria. The methanolic fraction of Curcuma longa rhizome had high potential to inhibit some pathogenic bacteria i.e. S. aureus to a greater degree than other fractions of Curcuma longa. In our study the results show that the different fractions (petroleum ether, methanol etc.) of Curcuma caesia rhizome were more effective antimicrobial agents than the crude extract of Curcuma longa. The bacteria isolates include E. coli (MTCC 443), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424), and Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC96) Antimicrobial activities were estimated by Disc diffusion method. The results were pointed as the methanol, acetone and petroleum ether, extract was more effective on all three pathogenic bacteria.
A brief overview of plant abiotic stresses
Authors: Adil Smriti , Quraishi Afaque
Published: June 2023

Plants live in constantly changing environments, many are unfavourable or stressful to their growth and development. Agricultural crop cultivation and production badly affected by several stresses raised from complex environmental conditions. Abiotic stresses such as cold, drought, nutrient deficiency, and excess salt or toxic metals in the soil are examples of adverse environmental conditions. Furthermore, climate change contributes to the increased frequency and severity of many non-biological stresses, particularly temperature and drought. A global increase of abiotic stresses affecting plant growth and productivity of major crops is being realized. Sessile life forms, the plants, must deal with abiotic stressors like drought, salt content of the soil, and high temperatures. Furthermore, improving plant stress resistance is crucial for agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability because crops with poor stress resistance consume excessive amounts of water and fertilizer, putting a strain on the environment. The present review is a brief account of the abiotic stresses that affect plant growth and development and the actions of plants to overcome the stresses.

Published: June 2023

Tribal women play the significance role in every society of that particular composition of population. It amount to nearly half of the population and therefore this significant half of its population it is inherently important to ensure their equal presence and participation in the larger process of decision local governance. Panchayati Raj institution as integral, both to democratic self-governance and democratic decentralisation in grass root level in India. Women have always and almost everywhere been on the fringe of political and social power. Women’s leadership has to emerge from the grassroots to gain confidence and to make a claim at higher levels. But it is being said that “Women have come into politics as proxy candidates and continue to be manipulated by powerful patriarchal elites. The barriers of gender division of labour, women’s low levels of mobility, seclusion, lack of information and negotiation skills, internalised low self image, stereotypes and lack of confidence continue in some degree. Generally Panchayats and the higher level political institutions have the same ideology for women’s place there - no women or token women though giving absolute formal equality with one person, one vote and no formal barriers to their entry. For the first time the constitutional amendment mandated one-third minimum reservation for women in the Panchayats. The constitutional amendment has made the composition of Panchayats wider within a broad framework of this amendment, but the social relations of gender are intertwined with local social, economic and political institutions. Decentralisation promotes participation and improves the controlling function held by the lower levels of the political system and hence could be a good policy option for enhancing women’s political participation.
Blessings on a Cart: Ramadan and Street Vendors in Dhaka
Authors: Mutiatur Rasul Ummay Sumaiya , Uddin Muhammad Salah
Published: June 2023

Ramadan not only has a religious value to the community but also adds value to the economy through both formal, structured as well as informal unstructured employment. As during Ramadan, food consumption patterns change as well as people's tendency to buy religious items also heightens, it is an important month for the street vendors and impacts their socio-economic position for the year. This paper deals with gaining insight on social orientation, business modality, perception on the effect of festivals and the real effect of Ramadan and pandemic on the revenue and cost. The evidence suggests that despite the presence of other religious and non-religious festivals, Ramadan remains the most critical time for street vendors to generate additional revenue. However, the effect is greater for carts selling processed foods and religious items. The selling of religious items usually face a steep downhill during non-Ramadan times which makes it unsustainable throughout the year. However, although the pandemic hit the regular review of the street vendor, during Ramadan times they didn’t have to lower the prices of items being sold due to the persistent demand.

Published: June 2023

The significance of learner-centric and autonomous learning strategies has become important in outcome-based education philosophy. Autonomous learning in higher education is being implemented in a fragmented manner in many institutions by faculty members that are trained and untrained in designing and implementing autonomous learning. The provisions of NEP 2020 have encouraged academic leaders and faculty members to design and implement autonomous learning in higher and technical education for developing a wide spectrum of skills/competencies in students. The aim of the research was to ascertain the conditions under which autonomous learning takes place effectively and strategies to be used to promote autonomous learning in higher and technical education institutions. A framework for designing the strategies to promote autonomous learning is developed that is further detailed with specific strategies. 14 conditions and 45 strategies are ascertained to cultivate autonomous learning in a higher and technical education institution. Suggestions for effective implementation of the strategies are noted and further scope of work is stated.

Published: June 2023

The stock prices are quick to respond to announcements of union budgets for structural reforms. The paper tests the effects of union budget announcement on stock prices by applying event study methodology. The reactions are tested using market model, Abnormal Returns (AR), Average Abnormal Returns (AAR) and Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAAR) for 15 days prior and 15 days after the event date. Result show that CAARs are significant for most of the days in the event window. The findings support the prediction that budget announcement contains information value and therefore traders can earn abnormal gain on budget announcements in Indian capital market.

Published: June 2023

The emergence and development of entrepreneurship is not a spontaneous one but a dependent phenomenon of economic, social, political and technological factors. Nowadays, many college graduates prefer to work as employee in a company or becoming government employee. Only few of them think to create self-employment or become entrepreneur due to lack of confidence in their skill and capital. These conditions may have both positive and negative influences on the emergence of entrepreneurship. For this and many reason, the disabled people involve themselves in entrepreneurial activities. The study implies that political, economical, social and technological factors(PEST analysis) such as family, friends, labour, government, field experience and so on together with motivational influences affect the entrepreneurship among the differently abled people for their start-ups.
Cryptography Using Modern Ciphers (Xor and Transposition)
Authors: Garg Satish
Published: June 2023

In the present paper the author has suggested a symmetric key cryptographic system where two modern ciphers, namely XOR and Transposition Ciphers have been used. The cipher text thus obtained is hard to crack because a teraflop super computer may need upto 3400 Years to find all possible permutations even for a plain text consisting of 10 characters.

Conduction and Dielectric Behaviors of Ge16Se52Te32-xSbx(x = 0,2,4,6,8) glassy system
Authors: Kaistha Arpit , Rangra V.S.
Published: June 2023

The quaternary antimony substituted Ge-Se-Te glasses have been synthesized using melt quench technique. The ac conductivity and dielectric properties viz. dielectric constant and dielectric loss of pallets has been studied in the frequency range (500Hz-1MHz) from room temperature to 365K. Both ac conductivity and dielectric properties are found to have dependence on frequency and temperature. The ac conductivity is found to obey the power law ωs, where s approaches unity at room temperature and decreases with increase in temperature. The temperature dependence of ac conductivity has been explained on the basis of relaxation caused by the motion of electrons or atoms and the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss are found to increase with temperature and decrease with the frequency. The variation of the studied properties with Sb content has also been investigated for all the compositions.
