Do Board of Directors Ensure Quality of Disclosures in Annual Reports?
Authors: Jarwal Devendra
Published: January 2022

A company’s published annual report is the primary channel of communication with shareholders and shareholders use these reports as a tool to monitor the activities of the Companies. The present study is an attempt to assess the effectiveness of annual reports in communication and its utility in monitoring affairs of the companies. The prime focus of this study is to rate management discussion and analysis on perceived risk factors of the company and the disclosure quality of risk perceptions of the management. The purpose of the study is to explore the quality of disclosures in the annual reports hence exploratory-qualitative analysis technique has been applied. Reports of selected companies were analysed and results were discussed with selected stakeholders to corroborate findings with the existing patters in disclosures. The study concludes that the level of reporting is associated with stages of maturity of a company and during a larger phase of a company quality of disclosure remains irrelevant to management as well as to shareholders. Existing researches on the subject have identified various factors influencing comprehensiveness of disclosures in the annual reports while this research has explored a new theory of irrelevance in disclosing crucial risk-related perceptions.

Role of Yoga and Meditation in Negative Emotion among Adolescents: A Review
Authors: Rani Rachna , Rani Sarita
Published: January 2022

Adolescence is the period of transition from childhood to adulthood wherein rapid and significant physical and emotional changes take place. Besides these changes, adolescents experience an increase in pressure from all spheres of life, such as unemployment, high-level competition, adjustments in families, etc. They experience negative feelings and find it difficult to adjust to life. These emotional changes may result in increased conflict and challenges among adolescents. They are more sensitive to their emotions and show strong feelings and intense emotions at this time. The main objective of this present review is to explore the impact of yoga on managing negative emotions among adolescents. The research available in the past describes yoga as a kind of exercise which is related to the mind and body. It is also shown thatone’s psychological experience is influenced by one’s physiological state, attitudes, and thoughts. Research has documented that the main objective of yoga is to control the process of thoughts and emotions, and it thus enables the individual to encounter pleasurable and painful situations with calm.
Structure and Fracture Visualization of Tilted ABS Specimens Processed via Fused Filament Fabrication Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Richkov D. , Rosenthal Y. , Ashkenazi D. , Stern A.
Published: January 2022

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique is one of the most frequently used additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for printing ABS and many other thermoplastic materials. The anisotropy of the mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts manufactured by FFF technology is still of major concern when using this technique. Thus, the component’s orientation, build strategy and printing parameters affect the mechanical properties, and failure mechanisms are of crucial importance. This research aims to partly fill this gap by studying the structure and mechanical behavior of FFF-ABS specimens, and by performing fracture surface analysis by the three-point bend flexural test. A series of tests were conducted to determine the flexural properties of tilted specimens at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 75° inclination angles relative to the machine platform. The work describes manufacture method of the specimens, experimental procedures, and outcomes from the mechanical and structural characterizations of the FFF-ABS specimens. Overall, two main failure modes were observed for the tested specimens: (1) inter-layer/ inter-raster bond failure (typical for upright specimens) and (2) intra-layer/trans-raster failure (typical for on-edge specimens). A mixed inter-layer/ intra-layer mode was found for the specimens tilted in-between the 15o and 60o range.
Rotary Friction Welding and Dissimilar Metal Joining of Aluminium and Stainless Steel Alloys
Authors: Senthil Murugan S. , Sathiya P. , Noorul Haq A.
Published: January 2022

Friction welding (FW) is cost-effective, efficient, occupational safer and also eco-friendly in the absence of pollution, smoke, fume, and IR radiation during welding than conventional welding technologies. In this paper, the joining of aluminium AA6063 and steel SS304 dissimilar metal is explained with different faying surfaces and their SEM images of weld interface (WI), joint quality, tensile and yield strength, and the axial shortening are evaluated and compared. The joint quality factor of the experiment faying surface modification ‘E3’ was the maximum and about >100% with 236 MPa strength. The axial shortening was also less than 27 mm. The joint with hemispherical faying surface showed ‘U’ shaped WI and the joint with taper faying surface showed ‘V’ shape WI. So, the cross-sectional area of WI can be increased and the strength also increased. FW yields very high strength, low-stress weld with no weld defects such as porosity, voids etc. Here, in most cases, the joint strength is equal to base metal strength and it can avoid fastening to join two metals. FW has a minimal and narrow heat-affected zone (HAZ) of few microns size that differentiates FW from other welding techniques. The grain size of HAZ is directly proportional to the heat input during welding. During fusion welding of dissimilar materials, a lot of intermetallic compounds are formed at the weld interface and that will lead to poor strength of the welding because they have different chemical and mechanical qualities; therefore FW is a good choice for joining dissimilar metal rods as the intermetallic compounds can be reduced by FW.
Manoil Grecul, Teodoryk Buczacki şi implicarea lor în relaţiile moldo-poloneze/Manoil Grecul, Teodoryk Buczacki and Their Involvement in Polish-Moldavian Relationships
Authors: BEJENARU Alexandru
Published: January 2022

In the following study the main point of discussion represents the roles of Manoil Grecul (the pârcălab of Hotin fortress between 1438-1455) and Teodoryk Buczacki (the castellan and starosta of Kamieniec between 1442-1455 and one of the most influent Polish nobles in Podolia) in the relationships between the Kingdom of Poland and the Moldavian Principality during the middle of 15th century. Both officials would become key-figures in the Polish-Moldavian contacts, because of the internal political struggle in Moldova and of the circumstances of Władysław III Warneńczyk‟s reign (1434-1444) and the following interregnum in Poland.The roles of the parkalab of Hotin and of the starosta of Kamieniec rose significantly during this phase of Polish-Moldavian relationships. In the case of Manoil Grecul, it happened after 1442, when he sided with Iliaș I and his sons, Roman II and Alexandru II (who secured their refuge in Podolia) and became one of the most important Moldavian officials of his time. He even managed to keep his new rank during the following reigns of Petru Aron and Ștefan cel Mare. In the case of Teodoryk Buczacki, the lowered interest of Polish Royalty towards the situation at the south-eastern borders of the Kingdom allowed the starosta of Kamieniec to become the main intermediary between the princes of Moldova and the Polish central authorities. This moment predetermined all interventions of Teodoryk Buczacki in the political fights for the Moldavian throne in the following years, collaborating with the pro-Polish factions and the pârcălab of Hotin.
Femeia română în reprezentările călătorilor străini din secolele XVI-XVIII/The Romanian Woman in the Representations of Foreign Travelers from the XVI-XVIII Centuries
Authors: SAVA Igor
Published: January 2022

The study brings back into discussion the complex theme of the image of the Romanian woman transposed in the writings of foreigners who crossed the Romanian Lands at the end of the Middle Ages. Despite a dose of subjectivism, prejudice or resentment, the testimonies of foreigners are valuable from the perspective of imaginary and gender relations, because they bring additional information to reconfigure aspects of men's attitudes and behaviors towards women and its status in medieval Romanian society. The main point of these sources is the tension between the way Romanian women are viewed by foreigners, the virtues and vices attributed to them, and the opinion that men in the Romanian Lands themselves have about the representatives of the beautiful gender.
Episcopia Chişinăului şi Hotinului de la eparhie românească la eparhie româno-rusă (1812-1858)/The Diocese of Chisinau and Hotin from the Romanian Diocese to the Romanian-Russian Diocese (1812-1858)
Authors: GUMENÂI Ion
Published: January 2022

The topic proposed from a diachronic point of view includes the pastorate of the diocese nominated by Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni, Dimitrie Sulima and Irinarh Popov. It is precisely the period when both the policy of the tsarist authorities and the actions of the diocesan leaders tried to completely transform the Institution of the Orthodox Church in Bessarabia into an instrument similar to the Russian Orthodox Church, which was primarily to fulfill the function of Russification.The black-and-white treatment of the role of the Orthodox Church for the history of Bessarabia did not allow highlighting all the nuances related to the role of this institution and its leaders for the spiritual-cultural life in the region.For these reasons, we propose to analyze the behavior of the three leaders of the church-administrative unit established in 1813, and their balance between the local Orthodox tradition and the requirements and pressures from the imperial leadership. These eventually led to the establishment of a hybrid "body" - a Romanian-Russian church (we refer to the existence in the Orthodox Church in Bessarabia of a majority of Romanian believers and a Russian imperial church and administrative leadership). It is necessary a meticulous analysis of the actions undertaken by either Bodoni or Popov both in terms of sympathies with the Romanian parishioners, and in terms of personal interests and the fulfillment of instructions from the Holy Synod of St. Petersburg as an exponent of the autocrat.
The Censorship of Books in the Library of “Ştefan cel Mare” National College from Suceava (1860-1990)
Authors: DOMINTE Corina
Published: January 2022

This paper aims at presenting the censorship of books and documents at the library from the first high school from southern Bucovina – Griechisch-orientalische kaiserlich-königliche Obergymnasium in Suczawa, a typical high school in which German was the tuition language, founded by imperial decree on the 30th of June 1860, today known as Colegiul Național “Ștefan cel Mare” from Suceava. This study is based on original archive documents, previous studies on the topic and documents from the school library. Relying on historical research approaches, the phenomenon of book censorship is analysed during all political regimes that succeeded in the nearly 160 years of existence of the school library. The paper points out to the restrictions imposed during the Austrian rule (1860-1918), the cleansing and even destruction of the most valuable books belonging to the Romanian heritage during the totalitarian regimes after the Great Union of 1918, the reorganization of the special collections, the restriction of the public accessibility to certain titles. This paper, alongside previous ones on the same topic, is meant to contribute to the understanding of the complex phenomenon of censorship in Romanian libraries.

THE CAUSAL EFFECT OF WATER AND SANITATION ON CHILDREN UNDER FIVE-YEAR MORTALITY IN AFGHANISTAN
Authors: Ghafoori Noorulhaq
Published: January 2022

Due to the inaccessibility of households to improved drinking water and safe sanitation, Afghan children die at the early age of childhood. This study provides empirical evidence to examine the causal effect of unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation on children under 5-year mortality in Afghanistan. To testify the relationship between household’s sanitation environment and drinking water sources on children under five-year mortality, the children under five-year categorized into the neonatal, infant, and under five-year ages. The binary logistic regression and marginal effect model have been used to discover the impact of water and sanitation on children under-five year mortality. The result revealed that children born in unimproved environments such as unclean drinking water sources and poor sanitation facilities are more likely to die in infancy age. The risk of poor sanitation facilities is significantly higher than unsafe water supply on child mortality at the age of less than 5. In conclusion, an unprotected environment is statistically more likely to increase the risk of children under five-year mortality in Afghanistan. The result recommended to the government to provide a safe water supply, increase the awareness of household members about sanitation, and improve the quality of public healthcare services to decrease the casual effect of water and poor sanitation on children under five-year mortalities.
L’autoportrait de Rembrandt à Esther Ferrer : égarements et constructions identitaires dans le temps
Authors: Limare Sophie
Published: January 2022

L’identité est un concept impossible à définir d’un seul point de vue, faute d’un décentrement du regard permettant d’unifier la perception évolutive de nous-mêmes. Elle ne peut être fixée par un « arrêt » sur image stable qui élude notre évolution dans le flux de la réalité. À travers l’analyse de démarches artistiques mettant en scène des doubles je(ux) identitaires, il s’agit d’aborder ici la complexité des (dé)constructions de soi dans le temps.
Lynda Benglis – Robert Morris (1974), une économie plastique des corps par-delà l’identité
Authors: Léger Stéphane
Published: January 2022

En 1974, Lynda Benglis et Robert Morris produisent conjointement deux images au carrefour de la performance artistique et de la publicité. Elles mettent en scène une sexuation ambivalente de leur corps, entre abstraction et conrétude du genre sexué. Nous verrons comment ces deux images font résonner les attributs genrés d’un corps à l’autre et déplace ainsi le curseur identitaire pour introduire une faille qui rend révocable, selon moi, l’encadrement et la subsomption de l’analyse de ces images du point de vue du genre à partir de et vers l’identité, au singulier comme au pluriel.

Nous tenterons à travers Les identités meurtrières de démontrer les rapports qui se tissent entre l’Homme, l’identité et l’appartenance ou les appartenances ethniques, cultuelles et culturelles. Dans cette œuvre, Amin Maalouf affiche sa volonté de rendre compte de l’impact de la mondialisation sur la question identitaire, en décrivant les conséquences que pourrait engendrer ce phénomène à savoir l’étrangeté, la discrimination et la ségrégation. La question qui nous interpelle : comment l’auteur arrive-t-il à mettre l’homme face à la diversité, à se positionner par rapport à l’Autre, à s’intégrer tout en demeurant intègre à lui-même ?
Autobiography of Red : Anne Carson et la stylistique du manque
Authors: Jaccon Pauline
Published: January 2022

Avec Autobiography of Red, son roman expérimental en vers, Anne Carson formalise ce qui sous-tendait déjà ses travaux antérieurs : le pouvoir ambivalent et créatif du manque, un gouffre dont les déclinaisons hantent son œuvre et son processus d’écriture. Dans la recherche du décentrement, dans la déviance textuelle, dans l’amalgame des voix auctoriales, Carson fait pression sur les limites génériques et linguistiques. À travers l’analyse herméneutique d’Autobiography of Red et en prenant également appui sur le corpus de ses œuvres, cet article s’attache à examiner les marques du manque dans le style carsonien, et étudie la tentative vaine (mais fertile) de le dépasser avec l’acte d’écriture.

Voice in the discussion about the original architecture of the Powder Tower and the 16th century third defensive line in the Lviv Middletown
Authors: Bevz Mykola
Published: January 2022

The Powder Tower was an integral part of the third defensive line, which was laid around the Lviv City Centre since 1522. The active phase of construction of the third line begins after 1527 (the Great Fire of Lviv) and continues until the end of 1540. Construction took place during twenty years when the city was exempt from paying taxes to the state royal treasury and could spend money on the modernization of fortifications.
In the article, we prove that the date of its construction should be considered 1522−1535 based on the analysis of the defensive parameters of the Powder Tower, its architectural and typological characteristics. Although in the literature most often we can find that construction of the tower was conducted in 1554−1556. In my opinion, at this time there could only be some kind of modernization of the building – the construction of an additional last tier, covering galleries or installing a roof over the entire building. A defence facility of such cubic capacity could not be built in 2 or 3 years. Therefore, given the Great Fire in the city in 1527, the following dating scheme looks very logical: the beginning of work – in 1522, completion – in 1535 and modernization – in 1554−1556.
The environment around the Powder Tower, in addition to the extraordinary value of architectural space, has preserved archaeological remains of a unique complex of fortifications of the XIV-XVI centuries. Improvement and and architectural and landscape transformations of the territory around the Powder Tower should be considered as a complex regeneration of the eastern side of the fortifications of the Lviv city centre, which consisted of three defensive lines: a High wall (from the port Ruthenica, Mulyarska and Rymarska towers), a Low wall with three small bastei, the Third belt of fortifications. Unlike the Low wall, the third defensive line of artillery bastions surrounds the city centre on all four sides.
The third belt of fortifications had constant phases of modernization and reconstruction. After its construction in 1522−1540 and modernization in 1554−1556 and further reconstruction of its individual objects took place. For example, in the eastern part of the third line: the north-eastern rondel eventually became the Royal belleward; the empty Powder Tower at the beginning received the upper tier with machicolations, and later the roof; the Carmelite entrance was gradually transformed due to the standards of the defensive gate; the triangular bastei was rebuilt into a “fifth-form” bastion; the Royal Rondel in the south-eastern corner of the defensive belt received a high upper part.

The importance of the readiness of the baby incubator for critical infant patients who are treated intensively encourages health technicians to carry out regular maintenance and calibration to overcome the problem of equipment malfunctions. Critical infant patients are babies who are treated in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) due to premature birth or babies using incubators are diagnosed with abnormalities or diseases, this situation makes babies need tools for survival, especially in the first month. Calibrating temperature control is very necessary for the incubator. In addition to temperature, it is necessary to control humidity so that the baby's respiratory system is in optimal condition. In addition, it is also equipped with a noise sensor to ensure that the noise in the baby incubator room is appropriate. From the above problems, a tool for temperature testing was made using a DHT22 sensor with five measurement points, humidity with a level of 30% RH - 60% RH and noise with a range of 30dB-60db to ensure the tool functions properly equipped with a lost data testing system and delivery speed. using internet access with thingspeak display. This research resulted in the design of a calibration tool with three parameters, namely the temperature setting at 33ºC the smallest error percentage is 0% and the largest error is 0.96%, and at the temperature setting 35ºC the smallest error percentage is 0.28% and the largest error is 4 .1%, humidity with an error percentage of 0.82% and noise with an error percentage of 0.93%. The drawback in using the Thingspeak application is that there is a limit on the channel ID, which can only display 8 readings, while the minimum time lag is 20 seconds. For the MAX4466 noise sensor, there are shortcomings, namely the accuracy in readings is not good.

Health is wealth. Health is one of the signicant treasures of the human community. According to World Health
Organization, health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or inrmity.
Health care professionals and personnels have been striving hard to provide the best health care facilities to the community. Health care has also
been developing with the technologies and adapted itself to suit the rapid race of the modern world. One of the trending options accessible in health
care is telemedicine. Though pandemic has emphasized the valuable role of telemedicine, it still has its own pros and cons

Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease characterized by a combination of ILD ,
myopathy, fever and polyarthralgia and Raynaud's phenomenon and mechanic's hand . Hallmark of ASS is the presence of
antibodies against aminoacyl tRNA synthetase enzyme.
The most commonly encountered autoantibody is anti-JO 1 (around 80%), less commonly encountered are anti pl 7, anti-PL 12 anti E J. (1)
Here we report the case of a 45 year old lady presenting with features of ASS where anti PL 12 was positive but with a negative anti JO 1.
A STUDY OF ECO-LITERACY AS A COMPONENT OF NATURALISTIC INTELLIGENCE AMONGST IN-SERVICE SCHOOL TEACHERS
Authors: Srinivasan Radhika , Borkar Usha
Published: January 2022

Being ecologically literate, or Eco literate, means, in our view, understanding the basic principles of ecology and being
able to embody them in the daily life of human communities' Fritjof Capra
Eco-literacy or ecological literacy is the ability to understand the organization of natural systems and the processes that maintain the healthy
functioning of living systems and sustain life on Earth. The term Eco literacy was rst published 16 years ago by Capra (1997), who founded the
Center for Eco literacy.
An ecologically literate person is able to apply this understanding to the design and organization of our human communities and the creation of a
regenerative culture.
In 1983, Howard Garner revised the earlier notions of intelligence with his Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which set forth eight distinct types
of intelligence and claimed that there need be no correlation among them.
Naturalistic Intelligence features is one among the eight intelligences listed by Gardner.
Concept of Naturalistic Intelligence (NI): Gardner designates naturalistic intelligence as the human ability to discriminate among living things
(plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock congurations).
This intelligence has to do with observing, understanding, and organizing patterns in the natural environment. Children possessing naturalistic
intelligence may enjoy subjects, shows, and stories that deal with animals or natural phenomena, or they may show unusual interest in subjects
like biology, zoology, botany, geology, meteorology, paleontology, or astronomy.
Naturalistic Intelligence may manifest itself in various dimensions and have many components such as
Ÿ Pro-Environmental behavior
Ÿ Eco-Literacy
Ÿ Environmental Attitude
Ÿ Eco-sensitivity etc

IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON DETECTION OF TUBERCULOSIS AT A COMMUNITY LEVEL HEALTH CENTER IN ALIGARH, INDIA
Authors: Jude Simon , Salman Shah Mohammad , Khan Fatima
Published: January 2022

India is home to more than one quarter of the world's TB burden, and has reported 24.04 lakh new Tuberculosis cases in the year 2019. This number
was before the pandemic struck whereas Tuberculosis notication rates fell by 25% during the period of January-June 2020 compared with the
same period in 2019. To curb the spread of COVID-19, India announced a nationwide lockdown for 21 days beginning March 2020 that further was
extended to several more weeks. This lockdown proved a major hurdle to Tuberculosis patients seeking health care and may result in a delay in
diagnosis, treatment interruptions and disease transmission in household contacts. Lockdown has also forced many migrant workers to return to
their homes, leading to treatment interruption. In addition to this, since Tuberculosis resembles symptoms of COVID19, this furthermore leads to
hesitation and fear in care seeking behaviour leading to decreased Tuberculosis notication rates throughout the country.

Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Seizures are the most common pediatric neurologic disorder, accounting 4% to 10% of children suffering at least one seizure in the rst 16 years of life. Worldwide, febrile seizures are the most common type of seizures in children. When seizures in children present with no apparent cause or with suspicion of CNS infection, clinical criteria with the advent of CSF analysis, EEG, neuroimaging techniques are helpful. It is important to identify the cause so that appropriate treatment is instituted at the earliest. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the distribution of type of seizures and etiology of seizures in children, with the aid of investigations wherever needed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A hospital based cross sectional study done at Navodaya medical college hospital and research Centre during 2020 January to 2021 June for a period of 12 months. Data is described in the terms of frequencies and percentages. Statistical analysis done using SPSS software version 26. RESULTS: Out of 140 children presented with seizures, majority were febrile seizures 48(34.29%), followed by CNS infections 33(23.57%), space occupying lesions 20(14.29%), epilepsy 19(13.57%), unidentiable 15(10.71%) and other causes 5(3.57%). CONCLUSIONS: Generalized seizures are more common in younger children whereas focal seizures in older children. Other than febrile seizures, clinical criteria with the advent of investigations useful in identifying etiology of which most commonly associated with focal seizures. After identifying cause, most of the seizures can be controlled by monotherapy with specic antiepileptic drugs.

Published: January 2022

We report the design,
fabrication and quantitative performance analysis of a low-cost, flexible
carbon nanotube (CNT) network-based deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sensor. These
sensors comprise an array of ink-jet printed silver (Ag) electrodes on a
transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flexible substrate, where a CNT
network acts as a sensing layer. The DNA hybridization is studied by
immobilizing single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes on the CNT surface; these
probes recognize their complementary DNA target. Further, we have carried out a
quantitative performance analysis of the flexible CNT biosensors using the
analytic hierarchy process (AHP). We have identified various influencing
factors and sub-factors (performance indicators), and quantified the
performance of the flexible CNT biosensors in different measured states (before
bending, during bending and after bending). Additionally, the noise and other
external factors contributing to the measured real signal have been
quantified. The interpretation of the
overall outcome will enable the improvement of the performance of flexible
biosensors fabricated through large-scale manufacturing for possible
commercialization.
