Authors: Guduk Ozden , Ankara Hasan Giray
Published: November 2022

Background: This study aimed to identify the long-term care preferences and the factors affecting theses preferences in Turkish society, where long-term care may soon become an important issue. Methods: We applied data from the Family Structure Survey of Turkey conducted in 2016. Using data from 35,475 individuals, we performed descriptive analysis and logistic regressions to determine the preferences and determinants of individuals based on the Andersen Behavior Model. Results: Informal care was the main preference of individuals living in Turkey (37%). Men, individuals living in an extended family, and the young mostly favored informal care, while women, well-educated individuals, and urban individuals preferred institutional or formal care at home. Conclusion: Efforts should be made to raise individuals’ awareness regarding existing long-term care services. These services should be strengthened in line with society's preferences, considering regional differences.

In this paper, a safe transportation route design for Indian army in defense zonal areas is presented. Safe Transportation route for Indian Army focusses to deny the entry of any foreign and unidentified vehicles to enter the army camp or the manufacturing plant of dangerous goods (DG) or any highrisk area. This consists of Arduino Uno, Servo Motor, an Ultrasonic Sensor, a 9V Battery and a buzzer. The Arduino has been coded in such a way that when a foreign vehicle tries to enter, the roadway will automatically get blocked. This also focuses on restricting such cases too. To avoid the accidents to a certain extent, this mechanism can be implemented as per required. The work presented here is the mini-project work of the second semester engineering students of electronics & communication engineering department of Dayananda Sagar College of Engg., Bangalore, Karnataka.
Investigation of self-assembly and topological changes in the sessile droplets of Klebsiella oxytoca by Chronological study
Authors: Bhavani Balasundaraekar  , R Akash Pande  , P. Karthikeyan  , P. Dhasarathan
Published: November 2022

The infectious droplet from the patient self-assembles into a novel pattern depending on bacterial interaction with substrate and liquid. The spatial location of bacteria inside the droplet fluctuates depending on the non-covalent forces. The deformation and dehydration induced stress on bacteria in evaporating contagious-fluid droplets alters the viability and infectivity. The self-assembly of Klebsiella oxytoca (KO) in contagious sessile droplets was studied by natural evaporation. KO forms novel patterns as the droplets exsiccate, thus revealing the unexplored topological changes that govern
its survival and infection strategies. The droplets of both bacterial suspension in Milli-Q and SRF of volume 0.95 ± 0.1 μl were placed on the glass material for assessment of the self-assembly. The bacterial suspension was stained before allowing them to desicate. The bacterial chemotaxis and deposition near the end of evaporation are recorded using the bright and dark field optical method. The random time interval is also measured to track the bacterial movement. The investigation shows that the majority of the bacterial population moves toward the rim of the droplet because of edge closely packing, leading to enhanced viability and pathogenesis on the famously known “coffee ring”
and few bacteria are present at the centre of the droplet which represents chemotaxis of bacteria. The mechanistic insight gained via our study can have far-reaching implications for bacterial infection through droplets e.g., through open wounds.

In this paper, we present the design & development of a robust health wealth app that could be used by many of the human beings during the exercises, to keep physically fit, etc. The research presented in the paper highlights the creation of a health-wealth app. Smart phones and other contemporary handheld devices have recently increased in power. It's time to cease wasting resources because the world's resources are currently running out. One of the causes of depletion is people not knowing when consumables expire. This is because there are so many possibilities for materials now that it is
difficult for people to remember when things expire. As a result, we are launching a mobile application that has the ability to track and add consumables' expiration dates. By providing health advice and intriguing life hacking tidbits, we also add a cool touch. Nowadays, individuals purchase items from the store and retain them for a number of days before using them, causing the item to expire and wasting resources. The other issue is that consumers often consume products that are too old and have health problems as a result. We want to cease squandering resources and have a healthy
society. You can track, monitor, and manage your health using the Health Wealth Safe app, all from your phone. The effectiveness of the built app is demonstrated by the usage of the app by regular people after it was published to the play store.

Management of Changes in the Process of Safe Development of Economic Agents
Authors: Kibik Olha
Published: November 2022

The constant growth of riskiness and uncertainty of the business environment determines the necessity for organizational changes and strategies, models, and approaches for their implementation. In developing countries, the issue of organizational changes and effective strategies is especially relevant due to unprecedented changes in the political, economic, and social systems, which creates problems of adaptation and growth of companies. The purpose of the academic paper lies in identifying the features of management of changes in the process of safe development of economic agents in developing countries and those undergoing significant transformations of the external environment. The methodology is based on a mixed research methodology on the basis of a statistical analysis of the market environment for the functioning of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises and a survey through an indirect structured interview with managers of agricultural enterprises. The results show that agricultural enterprises constantly implement management changes due to changes in expectations regarding the main performance indicators and market dynamics (changes in production volumes, product prices, and the number of employees). In the conditions of dynamic transformations of the political and economic environment, agricultural enterprises are modifying their activity strategies, business models, and resource allocation and production volumes. The key areas of changes relate to the following spheres of activity, namely: financing, supply and logistics, location of production facilities, exports, production volumes. Agricultural enterprises have been forced to switch to business downsizing strategies, which are mainly aimed at reducing costs in the economic downturn, efficient allocation of resources and personnel management. The survey of company personnel indicates a significant change in the administrative processes of resource management, essential modifications in market orientation. Significant resistance of employees towards changes, low level of participatory culture and lack of leadership support have been identified as key obstacles to changes.

Published: November 2022

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common metabolic and reproductive disorders among women of reproductive age. It is characterized clinically as a combination of ovulatory dysfunction, hyper androgenic state and abnormal ovarian morphology. Women with PCOS are at increased risk of presenting with menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, obesity, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular problems. PCOS being a syndrome cannot be correlated with any particular disease in Ayurveda. Hence for the better comprehension of this disease in terms with Ayurveda, the diseases mentioned in Ayurveda classics manifesting with signs and symptoms of PCOS have been studied in detail in relation with Nidana, Dosha, Srotas involved and their management. Diseases like Vandhya, Arajaska, Nashtarthava, Arthavakshaya and Pushpagni jathaharini shows resemblance in signs and symptoms and to some extend these can be related with PCOS

Authors: Sowmya Surendran.S  , Rajam. R
Published: November 2022

Kanakabindhvarishtam is a formulation included in Arishta kalpana. It is mentioned by Acharya Charaka in the context of Kushta chikitsa. The formulation is having Khadira (Acacia Catechu) as Kashaya Dravya (decoction) and Triphala (Amalaki, Vibeetaki, Hareetaki), Trikadu (Maricham, Sundi, Pippali), Vidanga, Mustha, Indrayava, Guduchi, Haridra, Daruharidra and Vasa Moola as Prakshepa Dravyas. Even though Guda and honey were not mentioned in the yoga, they were added in order to facilitate the fermentation process. Dhataki flowers which are commonly used to accelerate the fermentation process were not added in the preparation. The whole process were carried out in two stages- initial stage include the preparation of Kanakabindhvarishta according to the reference by Charaka Acharya, and in the 2nd stage Physico chemical analysis of the yoga were carried out. The Physico chemical parameters include pH value (5.28), total solid content (2.03%), specific gravity (1.0105), reducing sugar (2.8129%), total sugar (6.43%) and alcoholic content (8%). 35lt of Arishta was prepared by fermentation process. The Sandhana patra (fermentation vessel) in which the Arishta was prepared were kept for a period of 45 days and all the Arishta siddha lakshanas were obtained as per the reference
Pittala (Brass) in Traditional Indian Knowledge System: A Review
Authors: Punam Kumari  , Yadevendra Yadav  , Khem Chand Sharma
Published: November 2022

Brass (Pittala) is a very popular and common metal alloy typically comprised of 66% copper and 34% zinc. Undoubtedly, it has a much longer history than Zinc. Ayurvedic treatises such as Charaka Samhita (2nd century BC) and Sushruta Samhita (3rd century BC) have mentioned some instruments used for various therapies and surgical procedures made of Pittala such as Jeevah-nirlekhana (tongue scarper), Vasti Netra etc. The original Sanskrit equivalent for brass was Riti, the word Pittala being subsequently adopted for it. In Kautilya Arthasastra (4th century) it is known as Arakuta. Pittala kills a large number of microorganisms within a few minutes to hours of contact. So, it is a good antifouling material. Its ethno-medicinal use is in Raktapitta, Krimi, Kushta and Pandu Roga. Probably, there is no available literary research study done on Pittala so far. Most of the information is obtained from Rasa Ratan Samuchchaya. Pittala Bhasma retains the property of both Tamra (copper) and Yashada (zinc). It has Tikta Rasa (bitter taste), and its Virya (temperament) is either Ushna (hot) or Sheeta (cold), which depends on the variety of Pittala and various drugs used in the process to make Bhasma. It appears from the thorough search of the process of Marana, that its Bhasma preparation is easier than Tamra.

Published: November 2022

The prolific plant diversity of Uttarakhand hills has provided an initial lead to the local people to look for various plant species for the purpose of food, medicine, spices and perfumes. Medicinal plants found in Pauri district at Yamkeshwar block Uttarakhand, India have resulted in the documentation of medicinal, aromatic and spice plant species. These species were distributed over various life forms, like tree, shrub and herbaceous forms. The plants species were collected and arranged in their botanical name family, Sanskrit name, local name and their habit pattern. The leaves root, stem bark and whole plants were the mostly used. The traditional knowledge of medicinal plants gathered from local healers at Yamkeshwar block transmitted orally one generation to another generation but not documented. Now new generation is not interested in traditional knowledge of medicinal plants due to modernization, so there is an urgent need to document ethnomedicinal plants before the knowledge become extinct. Conservation and sustainable utilization of these valuable medicinal plant species is essential to protect the traditional knowledge regarding plants and plant based healing practices. In this article made an effort to document such information, especially the plants found in that region and use of plants for medicine, and made an effort to enlist the medicinal plants mentioned in Bhavaprakash Nighantu.

Commercial crop production has increased nitrogenous fertilizer consumption by two to three times. However, temporal changes and yield stagnation of major crops over three decades urge us to revisit the fertilizer use efficiency through nano-techniques with specific reference to nitrogen fertilizers. Although nanofertilizer technology is quite innovative, literature available in this field is very limited. In this review, literature pertaining to the losses of nitrogen (N) in agro-ecosystems, slow-release N fertilizers, nanofertilizer N formulations with synthesis, characterization and their application in agriculture and associated effects are elaborated. This review serves as a strong database to understand and gain insights into innovative nanotechnologies infusion with N fertilizers research and their benefits in agriculture. Nano fertilizers are capable of enhancing crop yield as well as nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crops and may be considered as one of the potential alternatives for soil fertility and plant nutrition for agricultural sustainability.

Soil Carbon (SC) storage is a key indicator of soil function used to monitor and predict crop response to management decisions. Under the SUJALA-3 Watershed Development Project, a total of 202 soil series representing major pigeon pea-growing soils were studied in seven agro-climatic zones of Karnataka. The organic and inorganic carbon stocks status were estimated at different soil depths to arrive at the economic value and assessed its relation with crop production. The SOC and SIC stock was 23.8 and 11.2 t ha-1 at 0-30 cm, 42.0 and 32.1 t ha-1 at 30-100 cm and 66.9 and 42.8 t ha-1 at 0-100 cm depth, respectively. The yield of pigeon pea was high (12.18 q ha-1) under high OC status of clay textured soils followed by medium SOC (11.11q ha-1) and low OC soils (11.52 q ha-1) in NETZ region. Using the agglomeration method, five groups were derived to determine the soil organic carbon management clusters. The soil organic carbon deficit (t ha-1) calculated to arrive investment requirement showed the order of cluster-4>cluster-3>cluster-1>cluster-5>cluster-2 and the investment required to bridge the gap of Rs. 30228, 26508, 26190, 22674 and 21990, respectively. As soil structure stability has an important role in carbon sequestration, the polynomial equation was constructed between soil carbon density and soil structural stability index, which yielded a threshold soil carbon stock value of 66.6 t ha-1 to attain a stable soil structure index value of nine. The ANOVA analysis showed statistically significant differences in SOC stock between regions (p = 0.022) and soil subgroups (p = 0.001). The study concludes an average investment of ₹ 25,000 ha-1yr-1 for 20 yr is required for enhancing the soil carbon status in Karnataka and to achieve the Pigeon pea potential yield of 20 q ha-1

The soil health card programme has been undertaken by all Indian states for sustainable crop production. High resolution nutrient maps prepared from the measured point data will be of great help for fertilizer management. The present study used the popular method of interpolation i.e., ordinary kriging (OK) in mapping major soil nutrients of Bemetara district from national soil health card scheme data. A total of 14491 geo-referenced soil health card data were used for the study. The soils were neutral in reaction (pH ranging 6.5 to 7.9 with mean of 7.2) and non-saline. The soils were mostly low to medium in organic carbon (mean 0.69 %) and available phosphorous (mean 17.24 kg ha-1), low in available nitrogen (mean 228 kg ha-1) and medium to high in available potassium (mean 390 kg ha-1). Semivariogram modeling was done with 70 per cent of samples and the output maps were validated with the rest of 30 per cent samples. The semivariogram generated for the soil nutrients during interpolation approach (OK) showed poor spatial dependency among the points resulting in lower accuracies in nutrient mapping.

Published: November 2022

Background: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate the relationship between survival and oxygenation index calculated in the first 12 hours of life in neonates with CDH. 
Methods: Various scoring systems have been developed to predict and determine the course of the disease in this disease group with a high mortality rate. In our study, we planned to investigate the use of APGAR scores, Neonatal acute physiological perinatal spread score-II, and oxygenation index in predicting survival. Patients born in Ankara City Hospital between March 2019 and November 2021 and followed up due to congenital diaphragmatic hernia were included in the study. Preductal oxygen saturation (sPO2) was manipulated to be 80-95% and postductal >70%. Target PaCO2 values were set to be 50-70 mmHg. Oxygenation index scores were calculated using the formula mean airway pressure (MAP) (cmH2O) x fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (%) / partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) (mmHg).
Results: The 5th-minute APGAR scores of the patients with the congenital diaphragmatic hernia in our study were lower in the non-survivors group than the survivors group (p=0.010). SNAPPE-II and OI scores were statistically significantly higher in the nonsurvivors group (p=0.003 and p=0.002).
Conclusion: The oxygenation index was determined to be an independent predictive parameter in mortality (OR: 4.519 CI: 1.301-654.645, p=0.034). The results of our study show that the oxygenation index is a reliable parameter in predicting survival.

In addition, the study areas have taken 31 out of 38 districts and the rest of the districts recently split into administrative purpose. Rest of Districts considered as outliers due to insufficient database.Result and Discussion: Extensive disproportion in the level of agricultural development has been observed in different districts. The northern and north-eastern part of the state was found to be highly developed whereas some of the western and southern districts of Tamilnadu were low developed. While compared with the results of the composite index of development in two benchmark years, the districts of Villupuram and The Nilgiris persistently have a high and least in the level of agricultural development respectively based on the selected indicators.Conclusion: This research paper has a efficient impact to measuring the degree of regional differences in the level of agricultural development and classifies districts of Tamil Nadu into three categories like High Level Developed Districts (HLDD), Middle Level Developed Districts (MLDD) and Low Level Developed Districts (LLDD) based on their agriculture composite indices of Tamilnadu.. Additionally, the study is that it takes more districts than previous studies, virtually 82 percent of the districts in Tamil Nadu and it covers the most recent time.

Breast cancer is still a leading source worldwide in terms of deaths. Non - experimental descriptive design was adopted to determine the amount of knowledge, attitude, and practise of women on breast self-examination. A non-probability convenient sampling approach was used to choose 100 women who met the inclusion criteria. The demographic characteristicsBreast self-examination knowledge, attitude, and practise among womenwomen were assessed using a structured questionnaire.The findings regarding Breast self-examination uncovered the fact that the majority of women(47%) had insufficient expertise., 35(35%) women had average knowledge and 18(18%) women had adequate knowledge. The findings regarding attitude towards breast self - examination depicted that majority of 84(84%) women had positive attitude and 16(16%) women had negative attitude.The findings regarding level of practice,depicted that majority of 81(81%) women had poor level, 9(9%) women had better level and 10(10%) women had good level.The results revealed that There was no evidence of a link between knowledge and success.attitude, practice on breast self examination among women with maturity, family status, ethnicity, educational background, employment, and current address are some of the census profile they have.. Hence it was concluded that, the women had an inadequate knowledge, positive attitude, and poor level of practice regarding breast self examination. Therefore, the investigator felt that Through effective educational intervention, understanding and application ofbreast self-examination will be improved to restore their health in a positive way.
The Process of Individuation in William Golding’s The Inheritors: Affect and the Encounter with ‘the Other’
Authors: Karabulut Dede Demet
Published: November 2022

This article traces the transmission of affect between the Neanderthals and Homo sapiens in William Golding’s The Inheritors which begins the process of individuation in the Neanderthal characters, Lok and Fa. Focusing in particular on the encounter with ‘the other’, I elucidate how mediation of affect between these groups turns the crisis of encounter into a debate about the innocence and fall of human beings, and about how historical continuities are transmitted through silences, gaps, and omissions of some people or some thoughts.
Turkish Drama Serials
Authors: Berg Miriam
Published: November 2022

The extraordinary global success of Turkish drama serials is a significant development in contemporary popular culture. This book presents comparative audience data from three different regions to explore its ramifications across the Global South. We learn how this phenomenon has transformed Turkey—a Muslim-majority country—into the world’s second-largest producer of scripted television serials, enticing audiences from all over the world. The book takes an audience-centred approach, investigating the reasons for the allure of Turkish dramas to Arab, Latin American, and Israeli audiences. In tandem, it explores Turkey's changing foreign policy, economic, and trade relationships since the turn of the millennium, which have coincided with the enormous success of the country's television output. It also analyses the role and importance of Turkish dramas as a soft-power tool by scrutinizing how they have influenced viewers' perceptions of Turkey, its people, and its culture. This volume will appeal to those working in various disciplines—from media and communication, international relations, public diplomacy, sociology, and Middle Eastern studies. The material will also be of great relevance to upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students, academics, scholars and researchers.

Authors: Chakraborty Sudip , Aithal P. S.
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Nowadays, IoT, or the internet of things, is a popular technological term. Any device operation is possible anywhere in the world using IoT. It controls the Device using a couple of telemetry protocols. Here we will describe how we can experiment with IoT using the Sinric Pro IoT platform. We will test without any hardware. We will also operate our Device from Alexa and Sinric Pro mobile app. the IoT client is written in C#. The complete project code is adopted from Sinric Pro. The Researcher can modify and integrate the code as their research needs.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Sinric Pro is a popular IoT service. First, we create our account on the Sinric Pro website. Then we configure devices and note the API key, secret key, and device id. We add those keys to our C# application and run the client application. The running client receives a command from various sources. We also Configure the mobile application to send the command through apps.
Findings/Result: This procedure helps us understand the data flow between the IoT server and the client. We can understand what happens inside the client application using a state diagram. We can use it as a demonstration tool and possibly to trigger the actual Device. Fetching the load status from the client application might trigger the controller board through the serial port.
Originality/Value: Sometimes Researcher cannot get the actual hardware for the experiment due to availability or cost constraints. This procedure might help them. Working with existing hardware also need some basic electronics knowledge. Otherwise, severe damage can occur inside the working system. There is no such risk in this procedure, and it produces the result efficiently.

Steroid saponins from gembili tuber (Dioscorea esculenta) are natural compounds that are known to have anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis through inhibition of Bcl-2 dan Bcl-xL. This study was determine the potency, mechanism and binding affinity of steroid saponin compounds as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL inhibitor of colon cancer in silico using molecular docking. In silico assay was carried out using VEGAZZ (use for Bcl-2 protein preparation), Open Babel (use for minimizing the 3D structure of steroid saponin compounds), Autodock Vina in the PyRx 0.8 program (use for molecular docking), and PyMOL, Discovery Studio Visualizer (use for 2D and 3D visualization). The result of molecular docking was a binding affinity value based on the formation of hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions between ligand and receptor, more smaller binding affinity value, more stronger the bond. Data were compared with navitoclax, ABT-737 and obatoclax. The binding affinity between Bcl-2 and navitoclax, ABT-737, obatoclax, prosapogenin A, dioscin, gracillin, diosgenin, protogracillin, dichotomin and protodioscin were –9,8; –8,9; –7,2; –9,0; –8,8; –8,0; –7,9; –8,4; –8,2 and –7,7 kcal/mol. Then the binding affinity between Bcl-xL and navitoclax, ABT-737, obatoclax, prosapogenin A, dioscin, gracillin, diosgenin, protogracillin, dichotomin, and protodioscin were –10,6; –9,3; –8,3; –9,7; –9,4; –8,9; –9,7; –9,1; –9,9 and –8,8 kcal/mol. Based on the results obtained, the steroid saponin compounds of gembili tuber are possible have potential as anti-colon cancer through inhibition of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL protein in order to increase the regulation of apoptosis.

Instituição da arbitragem tributária no Brasil como método adequado de solução de conflitos
Authors: Santos Reginaldo Angelo dos
Published: November 2022

O artigo busca responder indagação quanto a possibilidade de instituição do regime de arbitragem tributária no Brasil. Utiliza como metodologia de pesquisa o regime adotado em Portugal, bem como a doutrina daquele país e de especialistas brasileiros, além do regime de arbitragem comercial adotado no Brasil. Para tanto, inicia com uma breve abordagem histórica acerca da arbitragem tributária em Portugal, cuja solução dos conflitos fica sob a responsabilidade de uma única instituição, qualificada para a solução de conflitos com o poder público. Em seguida, traz uma visão da arbitragem como amplo acesso à justiça, sendo causa menos trivial do que a morosidade e esgotamento do sistema estatal. O texto ainda menciona a vigência de lei prevendo a utilização da arbitragem com a administração pública no Brasil, destacando, entretanto, não haver norma específica para regular a arbitragem tributária no país. Prossegue citando recomendação do Conselho Nacional de Justiça – CNJ, para utilização da arbitragem tributária para solução de litígios fiscais, para depois enfrentar a grande controvérsia sobre a implantação do regime no Brasil, qual seja, a suposta indisponibilidade da receita tributária, terminando com os desafios normativos e procedimentais para implantação do regime no país e os principais projetos de lei em tramitação, antes de concluir pela viabilidade da implementação do regime no país como meio adequado de solução de conflitos tributários.
