Factors contributing to the biodiversity value of an archaeological landscape in Jordan
Authors: Attum Omar
Published: July 2022

Archeological landscapes are important places because they protect areas of historical importance, shape cultural and national identity, are recreational spaces, and vital sources of tourism revenue. Archaeological landscapes have the potential to assist in reptile conservation. The objective of this study was to compare the diurnal reptile richness of an archaeological site to the reptile richness of a nature reserve (treatment control for biodiversity value) and a modern olive grove (treatment control for poor biodiversity value). Our results suggest that archaeological landscapes provide valuable reptile habitat, as our archaeological site supported similar reptile richness as the natural site, with both sites having higher species richness than the modern olive tree farm. The high reptile richness and densities were the result of high potential food availability and habitat mosaic of relatively low tree density and open areas with exposed, tall, rocky ruins. Reptile richness had a negative relationship with tree density. The ruins and high food availability of the archaeological site supported higher densities of saxaphilic lizard species as the density of these species increased as mean maximum rock height and percentage of green ground vegetation cover increased. Promoting the reptile richness of archaeological sites provides another justification for the protection and visitor appreciation for archaeological sites as places of historical, cultural and biodiversity importance.

Published: July 2022

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in morphology, biomass yield, chemical composition and production cost of Hydroponic Wheat Fodder (HWF) with the advancement of growing days. The HWF was cultivated at low cost sprouting house at the Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) Dairy Farm, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Firstly, wheat grains were collected, washed and then soaked in tap water for 12 h. Thereafter, grains were wrapped with a gunny bag for 24 h for germination. Then, grains were spread out in trays and irrigated using tap water up to 8th day morning. Biomass yield, morphological, nutritional parameters and cost of production were determined daily from each of the eight batches (day, 0 to 8) in the sprouting house.  An increasing trend was seen in biomass yield, plant height, root length and root number of HWF with the days of advancement and found highest on 8th day (p=0.000). Biomass yield was increased 6 times during this 8 days cycle. On the contrary, a decreasing trend was observed in cost of production (0-5th day) and found lowest (BDT. 5.00) value in day 6th -8th (p < 0.001). A strong positive (r=0.891-0.989) correlation exists between biomass yield and morphological features (p < 0.001). Whereas, cost of production negatively (r=-0.857--0.946) correlated with biomass yield and morphological parameters (p < 0.001). The dry matter content of HWF reduced (p <0.001) gradually from day 0 to 8. The crude protein, ether extracts and minerals (calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) content of HWF increased positively from day 0 to 8 but nitrogen-free-extracts and organic matter declined (p < 0.001) gradually. However, morphology, biomass yield, chemical composition and production cost of fodder were similar between the days of 7 to 8. Finally, farmers might grow HWF up to 7-8 days as a new source of livestock feed.

Authors: Hossain Farhana , Rahman Md Ataur , Hossain Md Mufazzal
Published: July 2022

Composites of ZnO-TiO2 with different ratios have been prepared by heating the mixtures at different temperatures and characterized by SEM, FT-IR and XRD techniques. The results from these techniques support the formation of the composites. These composites have been applied for photodegradation of a textile dye, orange G (OG). The composite with a composition of ZnO:TiO2 = 75:25 prepared at 500 oC has been found to show the highest catalytic efficiency. The experiments have been carried out by varying the experimental conditions to optimize them. The best catalytic performance has been found with 0.25 g/100 mL of the catalyst, 1.02× 10-4 M initial concentration of OG and the UV light source. A mechanism for photocatalytic degradation of dye has been proposed.

Authors: JUNAIDIH SUZIANI JESERAH , KITING ROSLIAH
Published: July 2022

This research is based on the lack of study and appreciation of literary works, especially on the Kadazandusun’s tangon. Kadazandusun’s tangon literary such as Si Yanak-yanak and Mondou and Si Kalabatu have values that can develop a sharp sense of values on subjects that achieve intimacy towards literature. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the structure, didactic aspects and also the pragmatic functions contained in these three Kadazandusun tangons. This study uses a qualitative approach using structural analysis method and moral approach to evaluate the didactic aspects and pragmatic function of Kadazandusun tangon. Intrinsically, the researcher found that this aspect of tangon kadazandusun is rich in the construction of themes, characters and characteristics as well as the message in it. The results of the study found that these Kadazandusun tangons strive to hold many didactic values such as moral values of kindness, courage, perseverance can be used as a medium to apply good values in the reader. The most special and capable value to be raised in these three tangons is the moral value of self-reliance. This study also found that this Kadazandusun tangon is a good reading material and can develop a good personality to the reader because it holds a pragmatic function as a means of education, serves as a medium of behavior change as well as entertainment material to the reader and this indirectly can influence the mindset of its readers to think rationally and critically. The entire results of this analysis can be used as a component to lift the Kadazandusun tangon as a teaching material in the subject of Kadazandusun Language so that students can make this tangon as a good example in daily life.
EXPLORING FILIAL PIETY AS AN INSPIRATIONAL MORAL VALUE FROM MAHABHARATA
Authors: MUNIANDY TAMIL ARASI , MUNIANDY RAJANTHERAN
Published: July 2022

The Mahabharata (Mbh) is a well-known ancient epic that is seven times longer than the Iliad and Odyssey combined. It has been a key source of moral ideas and education for Indians. The story centred around the Kauravas and Pandavas, two branches of the same family. Through the family story, the author draws all aspects of human existence, namely Dharma (Virtue and Social Righteousness), Artha (Acquisition of Wealth), Kama (Enjoyment and Sensual Pleasure) and Moksha (Spiritual Liberation). This study seeks to identify moral values associated with family life, especially love for parents. Though many scholars studied this epic, love between children and parents is underexplored. This epic is also often misconstrued as a spiritual text, which limits its application to moral living. Textual analysis, is employed for data extraction and interpreted through Hermeneutic Approach. Four steps were used for analysis, namely, Identifying and Documenting, Investigation and Categorisation, Interpretation and Analysis, and finally Integration and Conclusion. Murray Bowen's Family Systems Theory is used to determine how human interaction in a family operates in Mbh and Kohlberg’s Moral Development Theory has been chosen as it outlines an individual's moral development in stages.The findings reveal that the children such as Pandavas demonstrated unconditional and selfless love to their parents. They believed that their parents were Gods and should be worshipped.The findings also suggest that the Mbh epic could be an insightful resource in moral teaching and learning and, more importantly, as a guide in building a strong relationship between parents and children.

No contexto da pandemia do Coronavírus, a regulamentação do uso do telemonitoramento e teleorientação em Odontologia foi liberada em junho de 2020 pelo Conselho Federal de Odontologia. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o resultado do telemonitoramento, traçar o perfil sociodemográfico e epidemiológico dos pacientes, verificar as dificuldades empreendidas na execução e as demandas de urgência. A amostra por conveniência consistiu na busca de dados em 1643 prontuários de pacientes que receberam o telemonitoramento no período de julho a outubro de 2020. Foi utilizado um roteiro estruturado na coleta de dados sociodemográficos e epidemiológicos, além de perguntas referentes à satisfação do atendimento na opinião do paciente. A amostra foi composta por 57,9% pessoas do sexo masculino e 42,1% do sexo feminino. A idade média foi de 21 anos (±16,9). O maior número de pacientes que receberam o telemonitoramento eram da clínica de deficiência física (81,6%). Uma pequena parcela de pacientes (2,6%) não recebeu material audiovisual educativo por falta de dispositivo de recebimento como celulares e computadores. Ao avaliar as entregas realizadas, observou-se que houve associação significativa entre os pacientes que não receberam orientações para prevenção contra a COVID-19 (p=0,0001) e que não receberam material audiovisual (p=0,0001). O telemonitoramento é um recurso que permitiu a promoção do cuidado em saúde, além de disseminar informações pertinentes às pessoas com deficiências durante a pandemia, e se firma como um novo artifício de promoção e prevenção à saúde.

As pesquisas sobre o perfil do pesquisador descrevem a formação inicial, região de concentração e área de formação e elegem a produtividade na descrição destas características. Comportamentos em relação ao ambiente de trabalho necessitam de maior aprofundamento. Assim, analisar o perfil de pesquisadores brasileiros em relação ao ambiente de trabalho permite uma explicação mais acurada sobre a forma como são produzidas suas pesquisas. Este estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar o perfil do pesquisador brasileiro em relação aos níveis de estresse relacionados ao trabalho. Foi aplicado questionário validado sobre estresse (O questionário validado é o O MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) elaborado por Christina Maslach e Susan Jackson em 1978) para pesquisadores que atuam em programas strico-sensu no Brasil, eleitos aleatoriamente. Foram respondentes 55 pesquisadores. Os resultados indicaram que a exaustão emocional foi a dimensão com maior média. A exaustão emocional, no modelo teórico de Maslach, é a dimensão precursora da síndrome de Burnout, demandando atitudes preventivas em relação ao estresse para evitar as doenças crônicas advindas dessa questão e para preservação da qualidade de vida desses profissionais.

Introdução: O ato de tocar um instrumento de sopro envolve a realização de mecanismo semelhante à manobra de Valsalva (MV). Essa manobra gera respostas orgânicas que possuem influência na flutuação da pressão intraocular (PIO). O aumento da PIO consiste no principal fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de Glaucoma, primeira causa de cegueira irreversível no mundo. Esse estudo tem como objetivo observar alterações na PIO em instrumentistas de sopro, de alta e baixa resistências, nas diferentes fases de performance musical, no Estado de Sergipe, Brasil. Métodos: Foram realizadas aferições da PIO pela técnica de tonometria de aplanação. Resultados: Foram incluídos 84 participantes, de ambos os sexos, com uma média de idade de 37,3 anos - desvio Padrão (DP) = 9,2, cinco possuíam história pessoal pregressa de diagnóstico de glaucoma, 3 de diabetes mellitus e 8 de Hipertensão Arterial. Vinte e oito deles apresentavam história familiar prévia de glaucoma. A média da PIO, nos olhos direitos, das aferições realizadas antes das performances musicais, constituiu em 13,1 mmHg (DP = 2,3) e após, 14,5 mmHg (DP = 2,6), notando-se aumento relevante, com p valor < 0,001 e R -0,690. Nas aferições dos olhos esquerdos, a média da PIO, antes de tocar, apresentou 13,3 mmHg (DP= 2,1) e após, 14,5 mmHg (DP = 2,3). Conclusão: Estatisticamente não houveram grandes variações da PIO, apesar de existirem aumentos isolados em determinados pacientes, o que em longo prazo constitui fator de risco para desenvolvimento do glaucoma.

This study aimed to generate data on performance characteristics for 2 real-time TaqMan PCR assays (CSIRO and WOAH WSSV qPCRs) for the purposes of (1) detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in clinically diseased prawns and (2) detection of WSSV in apparently healthy prawns. Analytical sensitivity of both assays was 2 to 20 genome copies per reaction, and analytical specificity was 100% after testing nucleic acid from 9 heterologous prawn pathogens and 4 prawn species. Results obtained after testing more than 20 000 samples in up to 559 runs with the CSIRO WSSV qPCR and up to 293 runs with the WOAH WSSV qPCR demonstrated satisfactory repeatability for both assays. Both assays demonstrated median diagnostic sensitivity (DSe) 100% (95% CI: 94.9-100%) when testing clinically diseased prawns. When 1591 test results from apparently healthy prawns were analysed by Bayesian latent class analysis, median DSe and diagnostic specificity (DSp) were 82.9% (95% probability interval [PI]: 75.0-90.2%) and 99.7% (95% PI: 98.6-99.99%) for the CSIRO WSSV qPCR and 76.8% (95% PI: 68.9-84.9%) and 99.7% (95% PI: 98.7-99.99%) for the WOAH WSSV qPCR. When both assays were interpreted in parallel, median DSe increased to 98.3 (95% PI: 91.6-99.99%), and median DSp decreased slightly to 99.4% (95% PI: 97.9-99.99%). Routine testing of quantified positive controls by laboratories in the Australian laboratory network demonstrated satisfactory reproducibility of the CSIRO WSSV qPCR assay. Both assays demonstrated comparable performance characteristics, and the results contribute to the validation data required in the WOAH validation pathway for the purposes of detection of WSSV in clinically diseased and apparently healthy prawns.

A saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is the utmost vital soil hydraulic parameter for flow with in the soil. The knowledge of it is vigorous for water resources applications. Numerous methods & models (field, laboratory and empirical formulae) are available for determination of it. However, all of them have their applications and limitations. But, most investigators prefer the usage of empirical formulae to direct measurements of Ksat (field / lab) as direct measurements are very challenging (sometimes impractical), necessitating testing, quantification, and decision; making it extremely difficult to use in hydrologic modeling. Thus, it is vital to effectively asses the illustrative Ksat values matching the cost and its reliability. This study therefore presents the laboratory estimation of the Ksat for different soil textures in Jimma zone (nearby Jimma, Serbo, GilgelGibe and Asendabo towns) in Ethiopia, by both constant head and falling head methods, which are the simplest and cost effective ones. In these procedures, we determined the Ksat values of the soil in the study region. The results indicated that its average values are (1) in between 0.00124 and 0.00173cm/s for sandy-loam soil, and (2) 0.000124cm/s for clay soil. The porosity of soil samples were also calculated and found out to be in the range of 41.25 % and 44.24 % (the average being 43.04%) for sandyloam soil and 43.54% for clay soil. We then compared the results with the corresponding values in the literature, and finally we concluded that the Ksat and porosity values obtained for the study region were found to be in a good agreement with the corresponding literature values.

Water is an essential component in the existence of man and his environments. Despite the tremendous effort made by the Liberia Government through the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation in providing efficient, safe and affordable water supply to the inhabitants of Monrovia and its environs, water supply coverage is still low to meet the demand of the growing population of its inhabitants most especially during the dry season every year. Before the Liberian Civil War in 1990, the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation supplied sufficient water for the inhabitants of Monrovia and its environs at that time the treatment Plant was in full operation and supplied 16 million gallons per day on the total population of 500, 000 people. After the 14-year Civil War the population of Monrovia and its surroundings has increased to 1,500,000 people thereby tripling the total population before the war and leading to water shortage in the city. There is no constant supply of water, operation and maintenance of the system as well as revenue generation from bills distributed to customers however, leakages within the networks are alarming because the pipes have over-lived its life span. This research scrutinizes reports, literature, studies and other important details regarding the Liberia’s Water Sector ensuring to outlines the primary causes of the challenges and constraints the management faces in delivering water to the people of Monrovia and its surroundings and also discusses the way forward ranges from technical, economic and social issues. The management has an opportunity of improving the current situation through adequate strategies for monitoring water services and water resources, making use of sustainable technologies and linking with target beneficiaries in the development of water supply systems within Monrovia and its environs and it can only be archived through proper planning and management system.

People of various ages may find it difficult to navigate complex building structures as they become more prevalent. The future belongs to a world that is artificially facilitated, and Augmented Reality will play a significant role in that future. The concept of Indoor Navigation using a smartphone-based Augmented Reality technology is explored in this research. Using readily available and affordable tools, this study proposes a solution to this issue. We built an Augmented Reality-based framework to assist users in navigating a building using ARWAY, a software development toolkit. To find the shortest paths, we used the Point Cloud Localization and A* pathfinding algorithms. A shop inside a shopping Centre, a particular room in a hotel, and other locations can be easily located using this app, and the user is given fairly precise visual assistance through their smartphone to get to his desired spot. The proposed framework is based on augmented reality, and point clouds are the most important components. The application allows the user to choose their desired destination as well as change their destination at any time. To find the results from the technical, subjective, and demographic responses, we used hypothesis testing and validation with statistical analysis and exploratory data analysis methods.
